My dad was one who never knew a stranger. He was a farmer in the Midwest and he spent his winters selling insurance and daily necessities. Daddy could really talk with anyone and his favorite thing was to find out their incomes. Once we were at Chicago's O'Hare Airport — this was when you could still be escorted to your boarding gate. Daddy was sitting with me as I waited for my flight to Fort Lauderdale. A Russian guy sat down next to daddy. The gentleman could not speak a word of English but this did not stop my dad. He found out his business, how many children he had and, of course, how much he made.
I used to feel embarrassed by this. Last year, I was home visiting with my husband and my twins. When I was in the car with my mom, she told me a story about how she was in the doctor's office with daddy and how he was talking to the others in the waiting room as usual. She said he started talking to a young man in a wheel chair who couldn't talk, couldn't move his arms or head, and really couldn't do anything. But daddy was asking questions getting the young man to smile in response. And he carried on like that with the disabled man till he was called back to the doctor's office.
When the young man and his father got up to see the doctor, the father of the young man came and shook my dad's hand and said,“Thank you for speaking to my son. Most people just turn away when they see him.”
My father ended up dying later that month because of a sudden heart attack. Fortunately all 9 of his children had been home that summer to visit. I told this story about his love of talking at the funeral.

B. Her mother asked her to be a nice daughter.
C. Her father brought happiness to a disabled man.
D. Her father has been seriously ill for a long time.

Museums have been around for centuries, with the first known museum founded in the 3rd century BC. For a long time, they were used to showcase traditional artworks like paintings, sculptures and drawings. In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. It includes a variety of mediums such as animation, 3D modelling, virtual reality and video game design. Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before.
The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time. On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks. On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.
In general, while there may still be some debate over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections, it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression. As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come.
What do we know about the digital art from the first two paragraphs
A. It is warmly welcomed by all museums.
B. Its uniqueness leads to its high market value.
C. Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology.
D. It should be placed in museums according to most people.
29. Which can replace the underlined word “endorse” in the third paragraph
A. Increase. B. Reject. C. Create. D. Welcome.
30. What is the current situation of the digital art
A. It is acquiring increasing recognition.
B. It has been accepted by the mainstream audiences.
C. Most museums have accepted it as their collections.
D. This kind of exhibition can be seen all over the world.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Latest digital art, hottest debate B. Digital art: the most popular art form
C. Should museums accept digital art D. How does digital art enter museums
D

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。
In the heart of a village nestled amidst lush greenery, where the night sky was regularly graced by the moon and stars, lived Luna, a girl born without the gift of sight. Her world, though rich in sounds and sensations, was often enveloped in loneliness. Children kept their distance due to her difference. Sometimes, their cruel jokes cut deeper than any knife, leaving her heart heavy with loneliness.
But Luna was not alone in her journey. Luna’s parents, with their unconditional love and support, were her rock. They never treated her as if she were different, always encouraging her to explore the world with her other senses. From an early age, they took her outside to explore nature, helping her feel the warmth of the sun on her face, the cool breeze through her hair, and the soft texture of flowers beneath her fingers.
One of Luna’s fondest memories was the way her parents talked about the moon. When the nights were dark and fear crept into her heart, they would point to the moon, a shining round ball in the sky, and tell her, “Where the moon shines, there is no darkness. It will guide you, just as we do.”
One quiet night, Lucy sat alone in her room. The breeze from the open window brought the sounds of rustling (发出沙沙声) trees and the soft hum (哼叫) of insects. Feeling the rhythm of the night, she began to hum. Her voice matched with the music of nature, and without realizing it, she was singing a melody, one that seemed to come from deep within her soul.
Luna’s parents, who were watching her from a little way away, were struck by the beauty of her melody. It was at that moment that her parents realized that despite her blindness, Luna possessed a talent that could touch the hearts of others.
注意：1. 续写词数为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
With tears of joy in their eyes, they approached Luna and told her of their discovery.

As Luna’s music began to take shape, her parents decided it was time to share her gift with the world.

第一节
Dear editor,
I am writing to express my concern about a problem that many students, including myself, face before major exams. The issue is exam anxiety, which manifests in various ways such as sleeplessness, loss of appetite, and constant worry.
Some students experience headaches or stomachaches, while others become irritable and easily distracted. These symptoms not only affect our academic performance but also our overall well-being.
To address this issue, I suggest that the school could organize workshops on stress management and time management skills. Additionally, providing access to a school counselor for one-on-one sessions could be beneficial. Teachers could also incorporate relaxation exercises into their lessons to help us stay calm.
I hope my letter will prompt some positive changes to help us all cope better with exam stress.
Yours,
Li Ming
第二节
Paragraph 1: With tears of joy in their eyes, they approached Luna and told her of their discovery. “You have a gift, my dear,” her mother said, her voice filled with pride. “Just like the moon, you too can light up the world in your unique way.” Her father nodded in agreement. Luna’s face lit up with surprise and a glimmer of hope. She had never imagined that her simple humming could hold such power. With her parents’ constant encouragement, Luna began composing her own songs. She poured her heart into every note, letting her voice express the feelings she couldn’t put into words. Her connection with the world came through sound-the rustling leaves, the chirping birds and the way the wind whistled on quiet night.
Paragraph 2: As Luna’s music began to take shape, her parents decided it was time to share her gift with the world. They secretly organized a concert under the light of the full moon, inviting the entire village and beyond. On the night, the village square was transformed into a moonlit stage. When Luna began to sing, her pure and clear voice filled the air, stunning the the whole villagers. The children, once distant and indifferent, saw her in a new light, their hearts swelling with pride and admiration. From that night on, Luna’s fame spread far and wide, and she became a symbol of strength and hope for those facing adversity. Her voice, like the moon, illuminated the darkest corners of people’s lives, guiding them towards a brighter future.

My dad was one who never knew a stranger. He was a farmer in the Midwest and he spent his winters selling insurance and daily necessities. Daddy could really talk with anyone and his favorite thing was to find out their incomes. Once we were at Chicago's O'Hare Airport — this was when you could still be escorted to your boarding gate. Daddy was sitting with me as I waited for my flight to Fort Lauderdale. A Russian guy sat down next to daddy. The gentleman could not speak a word of English but this did not stop my dad. He found out his business, how many children he had and, of course, how much he made.
I used to feel embarrassed by this. Last year, I was home visiting with my husband and my twins. When I was in the car with my mom, she told me a story about how she was in the doctor's office with daddy and how he was talking to the others in the waiting room as usual. She said he started talking to a young man in a wheel chair who couldn't talk, couldn't move his arms or head, and really couldn't do anything. But daddy was asking questions getting the young man to smile in response. And he carried on like that with the disabled man till he was called back to the doctor's office.
When the young man and his father got up to see the doctor, the father of the young man came and shook my dad's hand and said,“Thank you for speaking to my son. Most people just turn away when they see him.”
My father ended up dying later that month because of a sudden heart attack. Fortunately all 9 of his children had been home that summer to visit. I told this story about his love of talking at the funeral.

Museums have been around for centuries, with the first known museum founded in the 3rd century BC. For a long time, they were used to showcase traditional artworks like paintings, sculptures and drawings. In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. It includes a variety of mediums such as animation, 3D modelling, virtual reality and video game design. Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before.
The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time. On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks. On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.
In general, while there may still be some debate over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections, it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression. As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come.
What do we know about the digital art from the first two paragraphs
A. It is warmly welcomed by all museums.
B. Its uniqueness leads to its high market value.
C. Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology.
D. It should be placed in museums according to most people.
29. Which can replace the underlined word “endorse” in the third paragraph
A. Increase. B. Reject. C. Create. D. Welcome.
30. What is the current situation of the digital art
A. It is acquiring increasing recognition.
B. It has been accepted by the mainstream audiences.
C. Most museums have accepted it as their collections.
D. This kind of exhibition can be seen all over the world.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Latest digital art, hottest debate B. Digital art: the most popular art form
C. Should museums accept digital art D. How does digital art enter museums
D

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。
In the heart of a village nestled amidst lush greenery, where the night sky was regularly graced by the moon and stars, lived Luna, a girl born without the gift of sight. Her world, though rich in sounds and sensations, was often enveloped in loneliness. Children kept their distance due to her difference. Sometimes, their cruel jokes cut deeper than any knife, leaving her heart heavy with loneliness.
But Luna was not alone in her journey. Luna’s parents, with their unconditional love and support, were her rock. They never treated her as if she were different, always encouraging her to explore the world with her other senses. From an early age, they took her outside to explore nature, helping her feel the warmth of the sun on her face, the cool breeze through her hair, and the soft texture of flowers beneath her fingers.
One of Luna’s fondest memories was the way her parents talked about the moon. When the nights were dark and fear crept into her heart, they would point to the moon, a shining round ball in the sky, and tell her, “Where the moon shines, there is no darkness. It will guide you, just as we do.”
One quiet night, Lucy sat alone in her room. The breeze from the open window brought the sounds of rustling (发出沙沙声) trees and the soft hum (哼叫) of insects. Feeling the rhythm of the night, she began to hum. Her voice matched with the music of nature, and without realizing it, she was singing a melody, one that seemed to come from deep within her soul.
Luna’s parents, who were watching her from a little way away, were struck by the beauty of her melody. It was at that moment that her parents realized that despite her blindness, Luna possessed a talent that could touch the hearts of others.
注意：1. 续写词数为150词左右；

With tears of joy in their eyes, they approached Luna and told her of their discovery.

Dear editor,
I am writing to express my concern about a problem that many students, including myself, face before major exams. The issue is exam anxiety, which manifests in various ways such as sleeplessness, loss of appetite, and constant worry.
Some students experience headaches or stomachaches, while others become irritable and easily distracted. These symptoms not only affect our academic performance but also our overall well-being.
To address this issue, I suggest that the school could organize workshops on stress management and time management skills. Additionally, providing access to a school counselor for one-on-one sessions could be beneficial. Teachers could also incorporate relaxation exercises into their lessons to help us stay calm.
I hope my letter will prompt some positive changes to help us all cope better with exam stress.
Yours,
Li Ming
第二节
Paragraph 1: With tears of joy in their eyes, they approached Luna and told her of their discovery. “You have a gift, my dear,” her mother said, her voice filled with pride. “Just like the moon, you too can light up the world in your unique way.” Her father nodded in agreement. Luna’s face lit up with surprise and a glimmer of hope. She had never imagined that her simple humming could hold such power. With her parents’ constant encouragement, Luna began composing her own songs. She poured her heart into every note, letting her voice express the feelings she couldn’t put into words. Her connection with the world came through sound-the rustling leaves, the chirping birds and the way the wind whistled on quiet night.
Paragraph 2: As Luna’s music began to take shape, her parents decided it was time to share her gift with the world. They secretly organized a concert under the light of the full moon, inviting the entire village and beyond. On the night, the village square was transformed into a moonlit stage. When Luna began to sing, her pure and clear voice filled the air, stunning the the whole villagers. The children, once distant and indifferent, saw her in a new light, their hearts swelling with pride and admiration. From that night on, Luna’s fame spread far and wide, and she became a symbol of strength and hope for those facing adversity. Her voice, like the moon, illuminated the darkest corners of people’s lives, guiding them towards a brighter future.
