There is an embroidered (刺绣的) saying that has hung on the wall in my parents’ house,
declaring “I hope my children look back on today and see a parent who had time to play. There
will be years for cleaning and cooking, but children grow up when we’re not looking.”
The saying made me uneasy as a parent, particularly during the year I turned 38 with my
own three daughters, since I could be both aware of the future when my children will leave
and yet unable to appreciate every single moment.
Parents admit that they are not always looking. Yet the mother in the embroidery is fully
present with her children. She has left the housework at home and come out here to be with
her three children, who are throwing red and gold leaves at her, like the photo my father took
for us on a weekend outing. All of us are laughing heartily.
My mother said she sewed the embroidery because she embraced the philosophy and
spent time playing with her children. Yet I remember my mother driving me to the mall, the
movies, the friends’ houses but I struggle to remember her playing with me. I once took my
young children to the library storytimes, to the children’s museum and I dutifully followed
them around. However, they recall none of it. All those years I invested in making my children
feel loved and none of the memories have stayed with them.
Then there are years for cleaning and cooking, and I do not always have time to play.
Cleaning and cooking is part of being a parent, part of caretaking, part of how I show love. I
remember my mother cleaning and cooking. When I think of all the meals she made for us
and our clothes she washed, I know that’s a mother’s love language.
I suppose that is why the embroidery exists. The embroidered saying is a mother’s love
for her children, which is always looking.
24. Why did the saying on the wall disturb the author
A. She was reminded of her childhood. B. Her children were ready to leave her.
C. She wasn’t always with her children. D. Her mother wasn’t satisfied with her.
25. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. Her regrets about her life. B. The time wasted on the children.
C. Her mother’s false memory. D. A mother’s unremembered devotion.
26. How does the author view cleaning and cooking as a mother
A. Necessary tasks that she wishes she could avoid.
B. Burdens that take away from time with her children.
C. A way to express her love and care for her family.
D. A source of happy memories from her childhood.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this text
A. She Is Always Looking B. An Inspiring Saying
C. We Are Playing Together D. An Unforgettable Outing
C
If you were like the 847 U.S. consumers surveyed in a University of Massachusetts
Amherst study, you’d prefer glass and believe it was the most sustainable choice. And you all
would be mistaken.
“Glass was the most sought-after and most highly valued packaging type,” says
Nomzamo Dlamini, lead author of the paper and a Ph.D. scholar in food science. “However,
it turns out that glass is among the least sustainable.”
Consumers ranked packaging choices from most to least sustainable as follows: glass,
carton (纸板 ), canned, and plastic. But in the case of single-serve orange juice, the most
sustainable choice is actually a carton, followed by plastic, then canned, and finally, glass,
despite that food packaging sustainability can vary depending on other factors like container
and weight.
Lifecycle assessments by experts indicate that producing and recycling glass requires
significantly more energy compared to plastic, which not only has lower production and end-
of-life impacts but is also lighter, reducing transportation energy. Additionally, the steam
aseptic sealing (无菌密封) process for plastic containers is more energy-efficient compared
to the retort (蒸馏) system used for glass.
Using a questionnaire that models real-life situations where consumers evaluate various
options and make trade-offs, Dlamini aimed to figure out what consumers believe and prefer
about packaging choices.
Dlamini points out a mismatch: while many consumers intend to purchase sustainable
packaging, in the end the top motivating factor was price—particularly the lowest price—
followed by packaging type, product claim and packaging claim. So, the ideal orange juice
option for consumers, based on the survey, is priced at $1.10 per 12 oz, packaged in glass,
locally produced and labelled as 100% recyclable.
The message to the food industry is that consumers are motivated to choose sustainable
packaging, as long as the price is right. “These options should be distinctly marked as
environmentally friendly, effective and affordable to increase consumers’ motivation and
adoption of sustainable packaging for food and drinks,” the paper states.
28. What was believed to be the least sustainable packaging option by US consumers
A. Canned. B. Glass. C. Plastic. D. Carton.
29. What is a feature of plastic according to Paragraph 4
A. It is cheap to produce. B. It allows light to pass through.
C. It takes less energy to recycle. D. It is more flexible to be packed.
30. According to Paragraph 6, there is a disagreement between _______.
A. packaging claim and scientific facts.
B. high price and unsatisfactory quality.
C. product claim and their practical performance.
D. consumers’ intentions and their actual behavior.
31. What does Dlamini suggest the food industry do in the last paragraph
A. Price smartly and promote widely.
B. Label clearly and price reasonably.
C. Package securely and deliver quickly.
D. Research effectively and invest wisely.
D
“Holiday” or “vacation,” “my friend’s cat” or “the cat of my friend” — in our language,
there are different ways of expressing the same things and concepts. But can these choices
affect our inclination to cooperate with certain individuals A research team led by Theresa
Matzinger from the University of Vienna investigated this and found that people are more
likely to team up with those who use similar linguistic (语言的) expressions in a conversation.
In an experiment, 100 English-speaking study participants each described pictures for
two conversation partners. The pictures showed situations that the participants could describe
using two different grammatical constructions that meant the same thing, such as “John gives
Mary the book” or “John gives the book to Mary.” Next, the participants’ roles were switched
and they received picture descriptions of their partners. Finally, when they had to decide whom
they wanted to cooperate with for a subsequent game, most participants chose people who
spoke similarly and used the same grammatical construction.
In a follow-up experiment with the same participants, researchers tried to get a better
sense of this phenomenon. They questioned whether it was due to recognizing similar speakers
as part of their social group, which enhanced cooperation, or because similar speech indicated
a willingness to adjust one’s behavior to fit with others. This time, participants had to name
pictures using the grammatical construction that sounded less natural to them. When choosing
cooperation partners afterward, they favored those who matched their natural language use
over those who resembled (相似) the language they used in the experiment. This suggests that
a sense of belonging to the same social group, based on natural linguistic expression, is the
more decisive factor in choosing cooperation partners.
“Our study shows that even small linguistic differences can affect the way we recognize
and respond to others,” Matzinger summarizes. The researchers hope to use the results to
better understand how cooperative decisions are made within linguistically diverse groups and
help reduce prejudices against people who speak differently.
32. What does the underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. technique B. preference
C. performance D. responsibility
33. What can be learned about the first experiment
A. It allows the use of multiple languages.
B. It provides pictures with open interpretations.
C. It evaluates participants on their grammar use.
D. It involves taking turns with picture descriptions.
34. What does similar language use indicate concerning partners
A. A friendly character. B. A cooperative attitude.
C. A common social identity. D. A high level of adaptability.
35. Where can the findings of the study be applied to
A. Public speeches on TV. B. Cross-cultural team building.
C. Standardized academic exams. D. Human-computer conversations.

Olympic medals are among the most respected honors in the sporting world, symbolizing
not only athletic victory, but also the rich history, fine craftsmanship, and longstanding
traditions of the Games. 36 Are they made entirely of gold, silver, and bronze
And what makes the Paris 2024 Olympic medals special
Originally, Olympic winners in 776 BCE were honored with olive wreaths (橄榄花环)
rather than medals. The concept of medals as we know them today first emerged at the 1896
Athens Games. However, solid gold medals were no longer awarded after 1912. 37 As
a result, the International Olympic Committee later updated the regulations regarding medal
composition and design.
Modern gold medals are primarily composed of 92.5% silver with a six-gram gold plating
for appearance. 38 They contain at least 92.5% pure silver, and bronze medals
consist of 95% copper and 5% zinc (锌 ). This mixture ensures the medals’ longevity and
makes them cheaper. An Olympic gold medal may be worth over 500, but its value to athletes
goes beyond its financial worth.
39 For instance, the 2012 London Olympics medals featured the River Thames
and London skyline. Rio 2016 focused on sustainability by using leftover mirrors and X-ray
plates. Tokyo 2020 medals, made from recycled electronics, emphasized technological
innovation.
For the Paris 2024 Olympics, the medals are particularly distinctive. Each features a
hexagon (六边形) with the Paris 2024 logo on one side and Nike, the Greek goddess of victory,
in front of the Eiffel Tower on the other. 40 As Thierry Reboul, creative director of
Paris 2024, stated, “These medals offer athletes a physical piece of Paris to take home.”
A. Pure gold is soft and easily damaged.
B. When were these medals first introduced
C. Who is responsible for designing the medals
D. Silver medals, by contrast, live up to their names.
E. With these symbols, they honor the history of the Olympics.
F. Unique to this year, the medals use metal from the Eiffel Tower.
G. The design of medals reflects the host city’s distinct style and values.

I was thrilled to cover a new expedition to Qomolangma as a journalist. However, as I
got off the vehicle at the base camp, I was immediately 41 by dizziness and shortness

an extraordinary amount of 43 .
At that moment, a question 44 within me: Why do people keep climbing Mount
Qomolangma When asked this question, British mountaineer George Mallory gave his

Mallory reminded me of countless climbers who have put their lives at risk to 46 the
mountain’s towering height with their own footsteps. They encounter an almost vertical (垂

earliest climbers thought no one could 48 the wall.

to cross the wall. Already 50 , he gathered all his strength to uplift his teammates.
Though his 51 did not appear on the list of those who reached the top, Liu is
undoubtedly a true 52 .

mountains above 8,000 meters, who 53 understands how small humans are compared
to 54 . She told me: “I never felt I conquered those mountains; it’s just that the

The ancient wisdom of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” continues to strike a chord,
transcending (超越) time and borders, and has now inspired the youth of Kenya.
Kenyatta University, Kenya’s second oldest university, recently set up a Study House of
Sun Tzu, 56 his influential books are on display and available for reading by local
students, opening a window 57 them to delve into Chinese culture, philosophy, and
the strategic wisdom that has withstood 58 test of time.
Eddy Paul Kirimi, a 20-year-old student at the university, said that Sun Tzu’s works have
profoundly influenced his understanding of life and work, emphasizing the 59 (virtue) of
determination and strategic thinking. His understanding deepened later with a six-month
language course in Shandong, China, where he not only experienced Chinese traditions but
also recognized the 60 (grow) importance of cross-cultural competence as Chinese
businesses expand in Kenya.
Phyllis Wahura Maina, another student at the university, 61 (embrace) Sun
Tzu’s philosophy since she started reading the book, allowing it 62 (shape) her
approach to life’s challenges. “His wisdom is a beacon, guiding us to think proactively
and 63 (strategic),” she said, expressing her desire for a future of Sino-Kenyan
cooperation 64 promises mutual growth and understanding.
As the youth of Kenya engage with Sun Tzu’s 65 (time) lessons, they carry
forward a legacy that knows no boundaries, a legacy that empowers them to face the future
with the wisdom of the past.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The Alligator (鳄鱼) Race
The Allie Pond Challenge, an annual water-sport competition for kids from all over town,
found me out of my depth, literally and metaphorically (隐喻地). My blooper (洋相) in the
Ring-Diving Contest had put our team at the bottom. Despite Brian and Tyrone’s attempts to
comfort me, I couldn’t shake off the guilt.
“Lighten up,” Tyrone cheered me, “It’s supposed to be fun.”
But fun was the last thing on my mind. I was the newcomer, the city kid who couldn’t
swim like the rest, and my incompetence was now costing us the competition.
The next event, the Ping-Pong Derby, was another disaster. It required bravery for me
even to enter the water of a lake this big, with real live fish and a dirty bottom. I always held
my breath whenever I stuck my toes in. I couldn’t relax long enough to blow the silly ball to
my teammate. Standing next to my two expert friends, I felt like that green sticky stuff in the
water: unwanted, and not particularly useful.
Just then, Captain Dale checked his clipboard (写字夹板) and then announced loudly,
“Final race is worth twenty-five points. It decides the winner. That’s the Alligator Race!”
I was met with a mix of dread and curiosity.
“Don’t worry too much,” Tyrone said. “Here’s the deal. Three kids are on their backs,
hanging on to each other. The first guy uses his arms. The second holds his legs. The third
holds the second guy’s legs but kicks his own legs. All together it looks like a giant alligator
racing in the water. First team across the finish line wins.”
“Look, guys,” I sighed, feeling overwhelmed and wanting to quit, “I have to tell you
something.”
“We know,” Tyrone said.
“You can’t swim, right ” Brian asked.
I decided to tell the truth. “I can swim-a little. In a pool. Not too well, but good enough.
I’m just so nervous here. All I’m doing is holding my breath and hoping fish aren’t —”
Brian bounced around in excitement, “We’re going to win!”
Tyrone laughed. “Steve! We’re going to win! All you have to do is hold on, and we’ll do
the rest.”
I looked around. There were four lifeguards, and the water was only up to my chest.
Maybe I could do this.
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next thing I knew, we were in the lake.
We crossed the finish line in a burst of spray and cheers.

Dear John,
Hope this email finds you well. I am writing to share my thoughts on the proposed group
presentation for the English Literature Month.
I believe that a group presentation would be an excellent way to showcase our reading
achievements. It encourages collaboration and allows students to learn from each other's
perspectives, which can lead to a deeper understanding of the texts. Additionally, working in
groups helps students develop their communication and teamwork skills, which are invaluable
in academic and professional settings.
My suggestion would be to organize the presentations around themes that resonate with
the books we've read. (This could include topics like "The Power of Friendship," "Overcoming
Adversity," or "The Role of Heroes in Literature.") Each group could then choose a book that
exemplifies their chosen theme and present their analysis and insights. I also recommend that
each group includes a visual aid, such as a PowerPoint presentation or a poster, to make their
presentation more engaging and to help illustrate their points.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these suggestions and eager to participate
in this collaborative learning experience.
Best regards,
Li Hua

The next thing I knew, we were in the lake. The sun shone brightly on the lake, and I
could feel the weight of my teammates' expectations. But there was something else too—a
spark of determination. As we positioned ourselves for the Alligator Race, with Brian leading,
Tyrone at the rear, and me in the middle, I took a deep breath. The whistle blew, and we were
off. The water wet my face, the crowd’s cheers filled my ears. We moved as one, a human
alligator, slicing through the water. For a moment, I forgot my fears, feeling a surge of power
I didn't know I had.
We crossed the finish line in a burst of spray and cheers. “We did it!” we shouted and
high-fived each other, laughing and splashing each other in victory. As we stood on the
podium, receiving our medals, I looked out at the crowd and felt a warmth I had never
experienced before. I wasn't just a city kid who couldn't swim—I was a member of a team, a
contributor to our victory, and for the first time, I truly felt at home in this town. Sometimes,
being out of your depth can lead to the most unexpected and rewarding adventures. This
was a moment I would cherish forever.
