“Good morning, passengers! Welcome aboard Bus No. 38.” At 6:30 AM, the cool morning breeze blows as Feng Zhiliang, a 43-year-old driver with 15 years’ experience at Handan Public Transport, greets the first passengers. Seated in the driver’s cab, he fastens his seatbelt, ready to set off.
Feng’s recent viral video comes from his bilingual (双语的) stop announcements in Chinese and English, captivating netizens. Some remark, “It’s like a luxurious flight for just two yuan!”, praising Handan’s harmonious combination of tradition and modernity.
This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with “Hello. Happy New Year!” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by their positive feedback, he saw an opportunity to serve the many foreigners riding his bus. Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.
Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan’s cultural charm.
Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9:00 pm, exhausted but determined. Despi te his tiredness, he’d continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20-minute break.
Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of unstopped preparation, Feng boldly tried bilingual announcements during peak hours in early 2023. Initially nervous, he received overwhelming encouragement from passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part.
“Taking that first step was discouraging, but the positive feedback fueled my passion,” Feng recalled. “It’s become a goal and a cherished wish.”
Now, over a year and a half later, Feng’s bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base. Passengers eagerly board the No. 38 bus to immerse themselves in his enriching language experience, while parents bring their children along for the educational ride. Feng’s dedication has transformed his routine bus rides into linguistic adventures, captivating hearts and minds alike.

In November 1996, the National Art Museum of China received a donation of 117 paintings, sculptures and installations made after 1970 by European and US artists. Featured artists include important figures of modern and contemporary art, such as Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Gerhard Richter and David Hockney.
The donation was made by German collectors Irene and Peter Ludwig. The couple traveled in many Chinese cities in the 1980s and 1990s, witnessing what was happening following the country’s reform and opening- up. Peter Ludwig, an industrialist who held a PhD in art history, initialed a donation agreement with the museum in May 1996 but died two months later. His widow Irene Ludwig attended the donation ceremony and exhibition.
Yang Lizhou, then the museum’s vice director, recalled that when Peter Ludwig visited China to discuss about donation, he was not very determined but said “YES” after Yang told him that one quarter of the world’s population would support and remember him for his generosity.
The museum has toured the Ludwig collection in many cities over the past two decades, broadening people’s vision of fine arts. Many Chinese artists and art researchers had their first look at a real Picasso and also, got to know about the scope and depth of contemporary art. And now it exhibits 50 works from the collection to again mark the importance of the couple’s contribution to Chinese art circles and art education.
This portrait of Peter Ludwig shows a highly recognizable style of pop art figure Andy Warhol. Warhol portrayed many celebrities of various fields, including art, literature, movie, music and politics, in the 1970s, such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. Sketchy lines and a combination of bright colors highlight the subject’s distinctive personality, and bring him closer to the audience.
The Ludwig donated another three Picasso paintings, in which Man and Woman by a Flower Vase was completed three years before he died. The painting expressed fascinations of love and the burden it brings by merging the images of a woman and a man, where they seem physically independent while bound by scarfs reluctantly which made the man look dejected. This painting is distinctive from other masterpieces of Picasso.
28. What made Peter finally decide to donate his collections
A. Yang’s encouragement. B. His passion for fine arts.
C. China’s reform and opening- up. D. His wealth and a PhD in art history.
29. What is the influence of the couple’s donation
A. Making the museum more splendid.
B. Laying a solid foundation for Chinese art circle.
C. Widening Chinese people’s horizon of elegant arts.
D. Deepening people’s understanding of traditional art.
30. What does the underlined word “dejected” in Para 6 mean
A. Depressed. B. Delighted. C. Dedicated. D. Deserted.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The important figures of modern art.
B. A German couple’s shining achievements.
C. A generous gift package from a German couple.
D. The significance of a German couple’s donation.
D
Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge.
In a new study, neuroscientist Tomas Ryan of Trinity College Dubli and his colleagues have examined the fundamental biology underlying a form of forgetting we experience every day. Their work suggests that when we can’t recall an old phone number or a high school teacher’s name, those details are not necessarily lost.
As Ryan explained to Mind Matters editor Daisy Yuhas, forgetting may be an active process that the brain uses to support learning. He also discussed how dementia (痴呆) may ultimately effect disordered forgetting more than lost memories.
You study an idea that some people may find counter-intuitive (反直觉的): forgetting can be part of learning. How so We often think of forgetting as a loss of the brain power or a limitation. Memory loss from dementia or brain injury, for example, can be devastating. But we also experience “everyday forgetting” as we go about our lives because there’s just so much going on. We’re expected to learn and retain many things in order to function in modern society. Some are quite arbitrary, such as having to memorize facts you’ll never need again for school exams. Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a practicing doctor.
Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. So forgetting comes in many forms
There are different kinds that people generally consider distinct. We may use the word amnesia (健忘症) for a kind of forgetting that most people would agree is neither adaptive nor beneficial. Some forms of amnesia make it difficult to form new memories while others make it difficult to recall memories formed before an injury.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By defining a concept. B. By presenting a study result.
C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example.
33. What does the author agree in the passage
A. Dementia mainly results in lost memories.
B. Forgetting means imperfection of the brain.
C. It’s terrible that the best friend’s name escapes me.
D. The knowledge you need to be a teacher is not arbitrary.
34. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs
A. Scientists think forgetting limits our life.
B. Neuroscientists are researching the adaptive role of forgetting.
C. People would agree that amnesia is harmful in most condition.
D. Amnesia definitely makes it challenging to recollect memories.
35. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To explain the reasons of forgetting. B. To present the process of forgetting.
C. To emphasize the benefits of forgetting. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of forgetting.

People perceive happiness differently, with some seeing the glass half full while others half empty. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a social psychologist, explained that happiness comprises positive emotions and life satisfaction. 36 Can you change your set range to be a happier person She believes that we can change how we think and how we behave and also we can change our habits or develop a new habit. Happy people tend to have such certain habits.
Go with the “flow”. Be absorbed in what you do. “When you’ re so fully engaged in what you’re doing that you don’t notice the passage of time, you are in a state called ‘flow’, which is associated with joy,” Lyubomirsky explained. “ 37 On the contrary, try something as casual and relaxing as completing a group project at the office or enjoying a hobby with your partner.”
38 When it comes to your happiness level, personal relationships have a bigger impact than money, a job title or even your health. “Spending more quality time with your partner, spouse, or kids, or reconnecting with old friends, are sure-fire ways to increase your own and others’ average levels of joy.” Lyubomirsky said “pick a relationship in need of strengthening, and invest time and energy in healing, cultivating and enjoying it.” 39
Practice random acts of kindness and express gratitude. Take a moment to do nice things for others. “Being kind to other people brings on a lot of positive results. It makes you feel generous and capable, leads you to feel grateful about your own situation, and gives you a greater sense of interconnectedness with the world,” Lyubomirsky said. “ 40 And, in turn, the benefit helps nurture your own self- esteem and help get you through the rest of the day or week.”
We hope these three tips help you elevate your happiness game.
A. Manage your circles.
B. Celebrate good news.
C. This small investment may go a long way.
D. It also gives joy to other people and leads them to like you more.
E. Researchers measure those components by asking people such questions.
F. The question for researchers returns to that glass half-full or half-empty issue.
G. You don’t have to compete in a high- risk game of tennis or climb Mount Everest.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“ Mommy, don’t go,” my three-year-old son screamed as I walked to the door. My fifteen-year-old son leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest, not screaming, but glaring at me as I pulled his little brother off my leg.
“Are you mad at me too ”
“You spend all your time taking care of other people’s kids, but what about us ” Dylan left angrily.
I was shocked and a little hurt. How could my own child not understand that the work I was doing was saving lives Then the answer hit me. He didn’t know because he had never seen what Healing the Children actually did. Dylan had heard the stories of sick children, but had never once looked into the eyes of a child and understood the hard truth—without our help, the child would likely die.
“Get dressed. You are going with me.” I said.
I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son, who pretended to ignore me the entire time. “He’s seven, only weighs thirty pounds and is very sick. He has a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, which could kill him. It is a miracle that he is still alive.”
I went on to explain that it took a team of a volunteer medical staff to get Hector to the hospital from his remote village and care for him while he was there. Still, Dylan seemed unimpressed.
We stopped at a convenience store for drinks and snacks. Dylan had two soft drinks, and he said one was for Hector. I doubted whether the little guy would be able to drink it, but remained silent. This was the first interest Dylan had shown in being there. I wasn’t about to ruin it.
I stopped at the nurse’s station to check on Hector’s progress while Dylan went to his room. Our patient was recovering physically, but the nurse was concerned that Hector was struggling emotionally. She said,“ Kids usually bounce back fast, but he hardly speaks and never smiles.” We discussed how to lift Hector’s spirits.
注意:
1.续写字数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector’s room.On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay.

《Weekend Where to go | 20年前,一对德国夫妇赠送的温暖礼包》
体裁:说明文
28. A。 细节理解题。从第三段“Yang Lizhou, then the museum’s vice director, recalled that when Peter Ludwig visited China to discuss about donation, he was not very determined but said “YES” after Yang told him that one quarter of the world’s population would support and remember him for his generosity.”得知,当时的博物馆副馆长杨立州回忆说,当彼得·路德维希访问中国讨论捐赠问题时,他并不是很坚定,但在杨鼓励他,世界上四分之一的人口会支持并记住他的慷慨后,他答应了捐赠,故答案为A。
29. C。推理判断题。结合第四段“The museum has toured the Ludwig collection in many cities over the past two decades, broadening people’s vision of fine arts.”可知,这对德国夫妇的捐赠拓宽了中国人的艺术视野,提升了对艺术的鉴赏和理解,故答案为C.

31. C。主旨大意题,纵观全文尤其是第一段可知,文章的主题为“一对德国夫妇赠送给中国的当代切艺术大礼包”,故答案为C。
体裁:说明文
选自Scientific American
32. B。 推理判断题。根据第一段“Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge. ”及第二段“In a new study…”可知,作者先陈述“事实上,遗忘有时可以帮助人们应对心理问题或放下无用的知识。” 这个研究结果,再讲述研究的具体内容,故答案为B。
D。细节理解题。在第三段“ He also discussed how dementia may ultimately effect disordered forgetting more than lost memories.”他还讨论了痴呆症最终反映的可能是无序遗忘,而不是失去记忆。故A错误。根据第四段“Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a practicing doctor.”另一些知识不那么武断和任意,但仍然要求很高,比如你为成为执业医师而积累的知识,可以类推,成为教师的知识亦如此。故答案为D.
34. B。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting”可知答案为B。
D。写作意图题。根据文章第一段推理出,人们对遗忘现象存在误解。“遗忘是生活中让很多人感到沮丧的一个事实。但越来越多的证据推翻了遗忘或记忆力减退显然是坏事这一观点。事实上,遗忘有时可以帮助人们应对心理问题或放下无用的知识。” 再结合下文的内容,遗忘是大脑的特征而不是缺陷,作者具体阐释和澄清了这一误解。故答案为D。
(七选五)人怎样才能更快乐?获得快乐的三个习惯。体裁:说明文
文章出处:https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/21/health/habits-increase-happiness-wellness/index.html
36. F。 与前面第一句中的with some seeing the glass half full while others half empty相呼应。句意为“人们对幸福的看法不同,有些人看到的是半满的杯子,而有些人看到的是半空的杯子。社会心理学家Sonja Lyubomirsky解释说,幸福包括积极的情绪和对生活的满意度。研究者又回到了到半满杯水还是半空杯水这个问题上。”所以答案选F。
37. G。 通过后文的on the contrary和casual 、relaxing可知,所填内容应该刚好相反,是较有挑战性不易完成的事。所以答案选G。
38. A。 这一整段的大意是经营一段良好的人际关系可以提升人的幸福感,与A选项“Manage your circles”这一段落主题句构成解释关系。所以答案选A。
39. C。这一整段的小标题是经营你的社交圈,前一句的意思是“选择一段还需要加强的关系,投入时间和精力去修复、培养和享受它。”C选项中的代词this指代的就是前一句话的内容,这个小小的投资会带来长远的影响。所以答案选C。
40.D。横线前一句的内容是表达做好事所能带来的益处,横线后一句中的in turn以及 helps这两个词说明横线部分依旧在表达做好事所能带来的益处,前后句构成层层递进的关系。D选项中的also也应证了答案。

Dear David,
I’m writing to share with you our school’s chorus competition last Wednesday. The day dawned with a sense of anticipation, as we all gathered in the auditorium.
The competition kicked off with a breathtaking opening performance. Each class took the stage in turn, each performance unique and filled with passion. As we stepped forward, the nervousness was transformed into pure joy. Our chosen piece resonated through the hall, bringing smiles to audience’s faces and applause to our ears. Eventually, we won the first prize. This chorus was a celebration of music, friendship, and perseverance, which taught me the power of cooperation and the joy of expressing oneself.
I feel grateful to have been a part of such a memorable experience. Do you have any interesting events or activities happening I’m eager to hear from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector's room. Cautiously peeking inside, I was met with a heartwarming sight – Dylan's arm warmly wrapped around Hector's shoulders, both laughing uncontrollably as they toasted with their drinks. Hector's eyes sparkled with joy, a sharp contrast to the dullness clouding over them earlier. My heart swelled with pride and gratitude, a realization dawning on me: Dylan, with his innocent heart and genuine warmth, managed to bridge the gap, offering a glimpse of hope that even the finest medicines couldn't quite match.
On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times if Hector would be okay. His words, filled with earnestness, wrapping my heart like a cozy blanket. "Mommy, can we visit Hector soon to see his smile blossom wider " My smile mirrored his, gently promising a nodding yes, which lit up his face. As the night drove us home, I knew we'd not only mended a little boy's broken body, but Dylan had stitched a piece of Hector's heart back together, teaching him the sweet symphony of compassion and the awe-inspiring power of making a world of difference in someone's life.
One possible version:
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector’s room. The moment I opened the door, I was dumbstruck. Dylan, who had been indifferent not long before, was telling jokes to Hector! Two boys were giggling and Hector was obviously enjoying his company. The next scene I saw was that Dylan handed the drink to Hector and asked if he’d like to have one. An unforgettably innocent smile lit up Hector’s face. It was truly amazing to watch them interact, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay. I told him the joy he brought to Hector lifted his spirits and that would surely accelerate his recovery,yet challenges still lay ahead. My son paused, lost in thought. Then he declared his intention to join Healing the Children,eager to help more children like Hector. Emotions surged within me as I witnessed Dylan's transformation.He didn’t see the world through his own eyes any longer, but gained another vision from the eyes of those in need.
思路解析:
故事的开始,呈现了一个家庭的日常琐事,母子关系出现了裂痕,原因是母亲为了志愿者工作放弃了部分家庭生活时间,而孩子们并不理解。
为了消除儿子的误解,母亲决定带上Dylan去趟医院亲自体验自己的志愿者工作。母亲跟Dylan到了医院后, 各自分开。作为医疗志愿者,母亲对Hector病情的关注让她一进医院就马上同护士进行了沟通。
后续故事情节预测:Dylan进了Hector的病房后会发生什么?
1.初次见面的小伙伴是不欢而散还是激情四射?(Dylan与Hector)
2.母亲带儿子来医院的初衷达成了吗?(Mother与Dylan)
3.Hector的身体状况是越来越好还是每况愈下?(Hector与Disease)
4.我们通过这个故事想要传达的主旨是什么呢?

M: Lizzy, I wanted to talk to you about the cycling tour of the city that our bike shop is leading this month.How is it going
W: Yes, I'm almost done with transportation and hotel arrangements of the tour.

M: I understand your point. But I think it’s important that our customers here at the bike shop get to know the places in the city that are good for bike exercising.
W: Well, we could make our participants informed of detailed directions on how to get to the park on the new path and hand them out here in the shop.That way, people could go by themselves on another day if they want to.
M:Or, we could change the path to include the park. Lizzy, I want you to find out how much time is left before we finalize the plan.
W: Yes, I’ll do that.

Morning,guys! I’m Laura Rollers and I’m the HR manager. We are happy to welcome you in the six-month trial period. I hope you will have a positive and enjoyable experience here.I know most of you have very limited or even no working experience, so your first week will be quite difficult.There will be a lot of new information to take in, but don’t worry too much about trying to remember everything. The important thing is to check with someone, if you’re not sure what to do. You’ll find your manager is very approachable and won’t mind helping you out. You’ll be in different departments during the first week. So spare no effort to talk to as many people as possible about their work. You’ll get lots of useful information.
Also, you’ll meet with someone who’s recently completed the trial period on a weekly basis, whose role is to provide practical suggestions for you. Of course, it doesn’t mean they’ll actually do any of your work for you. Instead, they’ll be asking you about what goals you’ve achieved so far and helping you to identify any areas for improvement. You can also discuss your more long term goals with them as well.
