（1）阅读理解—2025届高考英语二轮复习常考题型精练
一、
The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries. The first and most important step in the treatment of burns is giving first aid.
CAUSES OF BURNS
You can get burnt by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity, acids, or other chemicals.
TYPES OF BURNS
Burns are divided into three types, depending on the depth of skin damage.
● First- degree burns These affect only the top few millimetres of the skin. These burns are not serious. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by other minor household incidents.
● Second- degree burns These go below the top layer of the skin. They are serious and take a few weeks to get better. Examples include burns caused by hot liquids.
● Third- degree burns These affect every layer of the skin and sometimes the tissue under it. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or petrol fires. These burns cause very severe internal injuries and the victim must go to the hospital at once.
FIRST-AID TREATMENT
Place burns under cool running water, especially within the first ten minutes. The cool water stops the burning process and reduces the pain and swelling.
Dry the burnt area gently with a clean cloth.
Remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric sticking to the burnt skin.
Cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth. Applying oil to the injured areas is a bad idea, as it will keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.
If burns are on the face, make sure the victim can still breathe.
If the victim is suffering from second or third- degree burns, there is an urgent need to take him/ her to the hospital at once.
1.What is an example of a first- degree burn mentioned in the text
A. A slight kitchen burn. B. A burn from very hot water.

2. Why shouldn't oil be applied to burn
A. It is a poor conductor of heat.
B. It can worsen the burn by trapping heat.
C. It will increase pain and cause immediate scarring.
D. It may lead to infection by creating a wet environment.
3. Where would you expect to find the information above
A. A financial newsletter.
B. A beauty and skincare guide.
C. A home improvement magazine.
D. A first- aid book.

On a quiet afternoon, as the sunlight shone through the curtains and cast a warm glow on the attic (阁楼) floor, I started a journey through time. It was there, in the corner behind the old suitcase, that I made a fascinating discovery — a shoebox filled with old letters.
These letters, tied together with a faded ribbon, were a collection of conversations between my grandmother and her friends from past time. The dusty smell of aged paper and ink filled the air, transporting me to a time when communication was a deliberate and heartfelt act.
In an age where a simple text or email can convey our thoughts, these letters served as a deeply touching reminder of the depth and meaning that can be found in the written word. They were more than just messages; they were pieces of a life, snapshots of a time, and most importantly, they were a bridge between the past and the present, between my grandmother's generation and my own.
With the letters safely back in their resting place, I made a quiet promise to myself — to pick up pen and paper more often, to write not just messages, but little pieces of history that future generations might one day cherish.
In a world racing towards the future, it's the old letters that remind us to slow down, to appreciate the moment, and to write our own stories with care. And perhaps, one day, someone will find my letters and experience the same joy of discovery, the same sense of connection across the years. For now, the attic holds not just boxes of old letters but also the promise of stories yet to be told.
7. What does the author consider the letters to be
A. Simple messages from the past. B. Bridges between different generations.
C. Outdated communication methods. D. Unimportant things of past time.
8. What personal resolution does the author make after reflecting on the letters
A. To clean the attic of unnecessary items.
B. To digitize all family letters for preservation.
C. To learn more about the history of the family.
D. To write more frequently to maintain connections.
9. Which sentence may the author agree according to the passage
A. Every family has a story to tell.
B. The pen is stronger than the sword.
C. Old letters carry voices from the past.
D. The hand that writes the history makes the history.
10. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Treasure in Letters.
B. A Journey Through the Attic.
C. Digital Distraction.
D. The Power of Pen and Ink.
四、
The Sierra Nevada range is incomparable in scale (规模), and there's no better way to see it than to appreciate every spectacular view with your own hard walking. My husband, our kids and I planned to cover the northern half of the John Muir trail in two weeks, which is a long-distance trail in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
The trail snakes along the backbone of the High Sierra, past lakes, over mountain passes, and through dusty pine forests and beautiful wildflowers. We set expectations before we started: this would be tough, but worth it. To get our kids more involved, we let them have the map, decide when to stop for snacks and choose which lakes to jump into. In this way, they felt empowered.
For two weeks, we didn't have to worry about managing video game time. Instead, the boys-built dams and bridges across streams, climbed and swam, and one lunchtime, spent an hour slapping sleepy flies and feeding them to fish. Sometimes, they refused to carry their packs and complained about feet hurting. But these moments were far outweighed by extraordinary bursts of energy and enthusiasm — particularly when we'd been slogging uphill for hours and a mountain top finally came into view, our kids even decided we needed to push on.
By the time we finished, we had walked 112 miles, averaging about 10 miles a day. We had crossed five mountain passes, suffered foot pain and had terrible sleep. But we were right to be confident about our kids' ability. Through the adventure, they will, I hope, understand what they are truly capable of, how perseverance leads to bigger rewards later on, and what it feels like to be encouraged and supported so that they can achieve something great.
11.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. Where the John Muir trail leads to.
B. The family have great passion for hiking.
C. The Sierra Nevada mountain range is worth hiking.
D. Why the Sierra Nevada range is so attractive to kids.
12.How did the couple give their kids freedom during the adventure
A. They promised them a bonus.
B. They offered them enough snacks.
C. They exposed them to all kinds of animals.
D. They gave them the power to make decisions.
13.What can we learn about the kids from paragraph 3
A. They liked playing with fish. B. They had a strong will.
C. They were tired but persevering. D. They were unwilling to take this trip at first.
14.What does the author hope the kids would gain from this adventure
A. Strategies for hiking.
B. Some invaluable life skills.
C. Ways to improve the family relationship.
D. Geographical knowledge about the trail.

Environmental journalist Adria Vasil has a message that might disturb your shopping plans. Avoid returning online purchases, she urges, since the vast majority are thrown away or burned.
In an interview, Vasil explained that it's often not worth a company's time or money to send someone to eyeball the product and say,' Is this up to standard Is this returnable Did someone damage the box in some way ' And if it's clothing, it has to be re-pressed and put back in a nice package.
Shopping habits have changed in recent years, and the amount of associated waste has also exploded. Over the past five years, returns by Canadians have increased by 95%. A huge part of the issue is a practice called "bracketing", where someone orders multiple sizes in order to get the right one and then ships back the ones that don't fit. Brands(品牌) do not want to deal with those returns. They'd rather just get rid of them. Nor do they wish to donate them because that could "devalue" their brand.
Vasil urges shoppers to reconsider returning goods. If something doesn't fit, ask if it can be passed on to someone else or donated. She suggests buying second-hand items. What she doesn't say directly is that perhaps we should change our consumption model. Not only could this limit consumerism and the purchase of goods we don't really need, but it would also force us to visit the store in person, which has the added benefit of supporting local business owners.
Store policies could be changed to limit returns. There's already a precedent. The Package Free Shop, run by zero waste expert Lauren Singer, has a no- returns policy and says that if there are any issues with a product, they'll be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
But really, if we're being honest, just start taking responsibility for our shopping habits. Everything will leave a footprint on the earth, so we need to reduce manufacturing demand. Buy only what you need and will use, and make the extra effort to go to a store and try something on.
15.According to Adria Vasil, ______.
A. online purchases might be reduced
B. returns cannot be sold at full price
C. all the return s must be repackaged
D. return s may result in additional labor costs
16.What is the main reason for the large number of returns
A. Brands' willingness to receive returned items.
B. Unreliable sizing standards for online clothing.
C. The popularity of bracketing among consumers.
D. An increase in the purchase of non-essential goods.
17.What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 4 probably refer to
A. Avoiding online shopping. B. Giving up returned goods.
C. Refusing new purchases. D. Donating second-hand products.
18.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. Online stores should handle return s differently.
B. Consumers should adopt responsible shopping habits.
C. Zero- waste shops are the ultimate solution to returns.
D. Returns are crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction.

A warbler weighs about the same as four pennies, but twice a year makes an extraordinary journey. It flies nearly 4,000 miles between Canada's spruce forest and its wintering grounds in northern South America.
A new online atlas (地图册) of bird migration, published recently, draws from a huge number of scientific and community data sources to illustrate the routes of about 450 bird species in the Americas, including the warblers. The Bird Migration Explorer mapping tool , available free to the public, is an ongoing collaboration (合作) of 11 groups that collect and analyze data on bird movements, including the US Geological Survey and the National Audubon Society.
For the first time, the site will bring together online data from hundreds of scientific studies that uses GPS tags to track bird movements, as well as more than 100 years of bird- banding data collected by USGS. "The past twenty years have seen a true renaissance in different technologies to track bird migrations around the world," said Peter Marra, a bird migration expert.
The site allows a user to enter a species — for instance, osprey — and watch movements over the course of a year. For example, data from 378 tracked ospreys show up as yellow dots that move between coastal North America and South America as a calendar bar goes through the months of the year.
Or users can enter the city where they live and click elsewhere on the map for a partial list of birds that migrate between the two locations. For example, ospreys and 12 other species migrate between Washington, D. C. and Fonte Boa, Brazil.
As new tracking data becomes available, the site will continue to expand. Melanie Smith, director for the site, said the next phase of expansion would add more data about seabirds.
19.What is a warbler
A. A kind of bird. B. A money system.
C. A mapping tool. D. A means of transport.
20.What can we learn about Bird Migration Explorer
A. It is a huge "database". B. It is available for a small fee.
C. It can help protect biodiversity. D. It is supported by a company.
21.What should users do if they want to know the journey of some bird
A. Enter its habitats in the site. B. Click the routes in the site.
C. Input its name in the site. D. Explore its history in the site.
22.What does the last paragraph mean
A. The site is far from perfect.
B. The site will get updates based on new data.
C The site will only focus on seabirds in the future.
D. The site has new development directions.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.
In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50." This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.
23. What's the purpose of the author's research
A. To discover what luck means to people.
B. To find lucky people and unlucky people.
C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.
D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.
24. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment
A. There was too much information to be read in detail.
B. They were too focused on looking for photographs.
C. It took too much time to go through newspapers.
D. The words were too small to be noticed.
25. What leads to lucky people's good fortune
A. Their ability to spot opportunities. B. Their ability to become relaxed.
C. Their ability to communicate. D. Their ability to make friends.
26. What's the key message of the last paragraph
A. What lucky people are looking for.
B. How lucky people generate good luck.
C What lucky people can do with opportunities.
D. How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.

Middle school. For teens and their parents. the two words can arouse anxiety, fear and even horror. Kids are, all of a sudden, really growing up. Their bodies are changing: they're dropping some of their childhood interests and trying on new ones. Friendships form and are torn apart. Academic expectations grow bigger.
But some books-like the novel Curlfriends: New in Town, written and drawn by Sharee Miller-remind us of the many possibilities and excitements that present themselves within those challenging years.
The book follows 12-year-old Charlie Harper, beginning her first day of middle school. This is no small change, and in order to cope. Charlie promises to "completely reinvent" herself. She is tired of letting other people label her and is ready to take control of her own story. What follows is a series of meetings, first with Nola. She introduces Charlie to her lunchtime crew. The girls come together around shared particulars of their lives-homework. girlhood and fashion -even if their differences in tastes and personalities create cracks of uncertainty from time to time.
Curlfriends is a delightful book packed with sunny illustrations. It also cuts into the heart of the challenging tensions that are part of this intermediate stage of life. Young teens want to be known and seen by others, but they are also coming to terms with who they are. It can be tricky, for example, to distinguish between the passions and pastimes that your parents picked for you and those you actively care to pursue. It can be difficult to figure out what you like and what you are like.
Curlfriends is also a book about finding one's passions, responsibilities and independence despite changing situations. It is as much about expressions of self-respect as it is about showing care for others. The one constant in Charlie's life is her love of drawing. and it's through art that she figures out how to mark her place in middle school. It's not all under her control, but, as with good art, sometimes mistakes along the way end up making for the most amazing details.
27.What is the central theme explored in Curlfriends: New in Town
A. The challenges of studies during the teenage years.
B. The difficulty of making new friends in middle school.
C. The transformations and opportunities in growing up.
D. The impact of parental expectations on teenagers.
28.What does Charlie plan to do in middle school
A. Listen to others more carefully. B. Follow her heart and passions.
C. Live up to her parents' expectations. D. Be more confident and outgoing.
29.What is the tone of the book Curlfriends: New in Town
A. Serious and formal. B. Light-hearted and inspiring.
C. Humorous and carefree. D. Cold and indifferent.
30.What can be the best title of the text
A. Finding Her Place B. Maintaining Friendships.
C. Changing with Times. D. Seeking the Passions.

The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries. The first and most important step in the treatment of burns is giving first aid.
CAUSES OF BURNS
You can get burnt by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity, acids, or other chemicals.
TYPES OF BURNS
Burns are divided into three types, depending on the depth of skin damage.
● First- degree burns These affect only the top few millimetres of the skin. These burns are not serious. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by other minor household incidents.
● Second- degree burns These go below the top layer of the skin. They are serious and take a few weeks to get better. Examples include burns caused by hot liquids.
● Third- degree burns These affect every layer of the skin and sometimes the tissue under it. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or petrol fires. These burns cause very severe internal injuries and the victim must go to the hospital at once.
FIRST-AID TREATMENT
Place burns under cool running water, especially within the first ten minutes. The cool water stops the burning process and reduces the pain and swelling.
Dry the burnt area gently with a clean cloth.
Remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric sticking to the burnt skin.
Cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth. Applying oil to the injured areas is a bad idea, as it will keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.
If burns are on the face, make sure the victim can still breathe.
If the victim is suffering from second or third- degree burns, there is an urgent need to take him/ her to the hospital at once.
1.What is an example of a first- degree burn mentioned in the text
A. A slight kitchen burn. B. A burn from very hot water.
C. A severe burn from a petrol fire. D. A deep tissue damage from steam.
2. Why shouldn't oil be applied to burn
A. It is a poor conductor of heat.
B. It can worsen the burn by trapping heat.
C. It will increase pain and cause immediate scarring.
D. It may lead to infection by creating a wet environment.
3. Where would you expect to find the information above
A. A financial newsletter.
B. A beauty and skincare guide.
C. A home improvement magazine.
D. A first- aid book.

On a quiet afternoon, as the sunlight shone through the curtains and cast a warm glow on the attic (阁楼) floor, I started a journey through time. It was there, in the corner behind the old suitcase, that I made a fascinating discovery — a shoebox filled with old letters.
These letters, tied together with a faded ribbon, were a collection of conversations between my grandmother and her friends from past time. The dusty smell of aged paper and ink filled the air, transporting me to a time when communication was a deliberate and heartfelt act.
In an age where a simple text or email can convey our thoughts, these letters served as a deeply touching reminder of the depth and meaning that can be found in the written word. They were more than just messages; they were pieces of a life, snapshots of a time, and most importantly, they were a bridge between the past and the present, between my grandmother's generation and my own.
With the letters safely back in their resting place, I made a quiet promise to myself — to pick up pen and paper more often, to write not just messages, but little pieces of history that future generations might one day cherish.
In a world racing towards the future, it's the old letters that remind us to slow down, to appreciate the moment, and to write our own stories with care. And perhaps, one day, someone will find my letters and experience the same joy of discovery, the same sense of connection across the years. For now, the attic holds not just boxes of old letters but also the promise of stories yet to be told.
7. What does the author consider the letters to be
A. Simple messages from the past. B. Bridges between different generations.
C. Outdated communication methods. D. Unimportant things of past time.
8. What personal resolution does the author make after reflecting on the letters
A. To clean the attic of unnecessary items.
B. To digitize all family letters for preservation.
C. To learn more about the history of the family.
D. To write more frequently to maintain connections.
9. Which sentence may the author agree according to the passage
A. Every family has a story to tell.
B. The pen is stronger than the sword.
C. Old letters carry voices from the past.
D. The hand that writes the history makes the history.
10. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Treasure in Letters.
B. A Journey Through the Attic.
C. Digital Distraction.
D. The Power of Pen and Ink.

The Sierra Nevada range is incomparable in scale (规模), and there's no better way to see it than to appreciate every spectacular view with your own hard walking. My husband, our kids and I planned to cover the northern half of the John Muir trail in two weeks, which is a long-distance trail in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
The trail snakes along the backbone of the High Sierra, past lakes, over mountain passes, and through dusty pine forests and beautiful wildflowers. We set expectations before we started: this would be tough, but worth it. To get our kids more involved, we let them have the map, decide when to stop for snacks and choose which lakes to jump into. In this way, they felt empowered.
For two weeks, we didn't have to worry about managing video game time. Instead, the boys-built dams and bridges across streams, climbed and swam, and one lunchtime, spent an hour slapping sleepy flies and feeding them to fish. Sometimes, they refused to carry their packs and complained about feet hurting. But these moments were far outweighed by extraordinary bursts of energy and enthusiasm — particularly when we'd been slogging uphill for hours and a mountain top finally came into view, our kids even decided we needed to push on.
By the time we finished, we had walked 112 miles, averaging about 10 miles a day. We had crossed five mountain passes, suffered foot pain and had terrible sleep. But we were right to be confident about our kids' ability. Through the adventure, they will, I hope, understand what they are truly capable of, how perseverance leads to bigger rewards later on, and what it feels like to be encouraged and supported so that they can achieve something great.
11.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. Where the John Muir trail leads to.
B. The family have great passion for hiking.
C. The Sierra Nevada mountain range is worth hiking.
D. Why the Sierra Nevada range is so attractive to kids.
12.How did the couple give their kids freedom during the adventure
A. They promised them a bonus.
B. They offered them enough snacks.
C. They exposed them to all kinds of animals.
D. They gave them the power to make decisions.
13.What can we learn about the kids from paragraph 3
A. They liked playing with fish. B. They had a strong will.
C. They were tired but persevering. D. They were unwilling to take this trip at first.
14.What does the author hope the kids would gain from this adventure
A. Strategies for hiking.
B. Some invaluable life skills.
C. Ways to improve the family relationship.
D. Geographical knowledge about the trail.

Environmental journalist Adria Vasil has a message that might disturb your shopping plans. Avoid returning online purchases, she urges, since the vast majority are thrown away or burned.
In an interview, Vasil explained that it's often not worth a company's time or money to send someone to eyeball the product and say,' Is this up to standard Is this returnable Did someone damage the box in some way ' And if it's clothing, it has to be re-pressed and put back in a nice package.
Shopping habits have changed in recent years, and the amount of associated waste has also exploded. Over the past five years, returns by Canadians have increased by 95%. A huge part of the issue is a practice called "bracketing", where someone orders multiple sizes in order to get the right one and then ships back the ones that don't fit. Brands(品牌) do not want to deal with those returns. They'd rather just get rid of them. Nor do they wish to donate them because that could "devalue" their brand.
Vasil urges shoppers to reconsider returning goods. If something doesn't fit, ask if it can be passed on to someone else or donated. She suggests buying second-hand items. What she doesn't say directly is that perhaps we should change our consumption model. Not only could this limit consumerism and the purchase of goods we don't really need, but it would also force us to visit the store in person, which has the added benefit of supporting local business owners.
Store policies could be changed to limit returns. There's already a precedent. The Package Free Shop, run by zero waste expert Lauren Singer, has a no- returns policy and says that if there are any issues with a product, they'll be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
But really, if we're being honest, just start taking responsibility for our shopping habits. Everything will leave a footprint on the earth, so we need to reduce manufacturing demand. Buy only what you need and will use, and make the extra effort to go to a store and try something on.
15.According to Adria Vasil, ______.
A. online purchases might be reduced
B. returns cannot be sold at full price
C. all the return s must be repackaged
D. return s may result in additional labor costs
16.What is the main reason for the large number of returns
A. Brands' willingness to receive returned items.
B. Unreliable sizing standards for online clothing.
C. The popularity of bracketing among consumers.
D. An increase in the purchase of non-essential goods.
17.What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 4 probably refer to
A. Avoiding online shopping. B. Giving up returned goods.
C. Refusing new purchases. D. Donating second-hand products.
18.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. Online stores should handle return s differently.
B. Consumers should adopt responsible shopping habits.
C. Zero- waste shops are the ultimate solution to returns.
D. Returns are crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction.

A warbler weighs about the same as four pennies, but twice a year makes an extraordinary journey. It flies nearly 4,000 miles between Canada's spruce forest and its wintering grounds in northern South America.
A new online atlas (地图册) of bird migration, published recently, draws from a huge number of scientific and community data sources to illustrate the routes of about 450 bird species in the Americas, including the warblers. The Bird Migration Explorer mapping tool , available free to the public, is an ongoing collaboration (合作) of 11 groups that collect and analyze data on bird movements, including the US Geological Survey and the National Audubon Society.
For the first time, the site will bring together online data from hundreds of scientific studies that uses GPS tags to track bird movements, as well as more than 100 years of bird- banding data collected by USGS. "The past twenty years have seen a true renaissance in different technologies to track bird migrations around the world," said Peter Marra, a bird migration expert.
The site allows a user to enter a species — for instance, osprey — and watch movements over the course of a year. For example, data from 378 tracked ospreys show up as yellow dots that move between coastal North America and South America as a calendar bar goes through the months of the year.
Or users can enter the city where they live and click elsewhere on the map for a partial list of birds that migrate between the two locations. For example, ospreys and 12 other species migrate between Washington, D. C. and Fonte Boa, Brazil.
As new tracking data becomes available, the site will continue to expand. Melanie Smith, director for the site, said the next phase of expansion would add more data about seabirds.
19.What is a warbler
A. A kind of bird. B. A money system.
C. A mapping tool. D. A means of transport.
20.What can we learn about Bird Migration Explorer
A. It is a huge "database". B. It is available for a small fee.
C. It can help protect biodiversity. D. It is supported by a company.
21.What should users do if they want to know the journey of some bird
A. Enter its habitats in the site. B. Click the routes in the site.
C. Input its name in the site. D. Explore its history in the site.
22.What does the last paragraph mean
A. The site is far from perfect.
B. The site will get updates based on new data.
C The site will only focus on seabirds in the future.
D. The site has new development directions.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.
In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50." This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.
23. What's the purpose of the author's research
A. To discover what luck means to people.
B. To find lucky people and unlucky people.
C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.
D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.
24. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment
A. There was too much information to be read in detail.
B. They were too focused on looking for photographs.
C. It took too much time to go through newspapers.
D. The words were too small to be noticed.
25. What leads to lucky people's good fortune
A. Their ability to spot opportunities. B. Their ability to become relaxed.
C. Their ability to communicate. D. Their ability to make friends.
26. What's the key message of the last paragraph
A. What lucky people are looking for.
B. How lucky people generate good luck.
C What lucky people can do with opportunities.
D. How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.

Middle school. For teens and their parents. the two words can arouse anxiety, fear and even horror. Kids are, all of a sudden, really growing up. Their bodies are changing: they're dropping some of their childhood interests and trying on new ones. Friendships form and are torn apart. Academic expectations grow bigger.
But some books-like the novel Curlfriends: New in Town, written and drawn by Sharee Miller-remind us of the many possibilities and excitements that present themselves within those challenging years.
The book follows 12-year-old Charlie Harper, beginning her first day of middle school. This is no small change, and in order to cope. Charlie promises to "completely reinvent" herself. She is tired of letting other people label her and is ready to take control of her own story. What follows is a series of meetings, first with Nola. She introduces Charlie to her lunchtime crew. The girls come together around shared particulars of their lives-homework. girlhood and fashion -even if their differences in tastes and personalities create cracks of uncertainty from time to time.
Curlfriends is a delightful book packed with sunny illustrations. It also cuts into the heart of the challenging tensions that are part of this intermediate stage of life. Young teens want to be known and seen by others, but they are also coming to terms with who they are. It can be tricky, for example, to distinguish between the passions and pastimes that your parents picked for you and those you actively care to pursue. It can be difficult to figure out what you like and what you are like.
Curlfriends is also a book about finding one's passions, responsibilities and independence despite changing situations. It is as much about expressions of self-respect as it is about showing care for others. The one constant in Charlie's life is her love of drawing. and it's through art that she figures out how to mark her place in middle school. It's not all under her control, but, as with good art, sometimes mistakes along the way end up making for the most amazing details.
27.What is the central theme explored in Curlfriends: New in Town
A. The challenges of studies during the teenage years.
B. The difficulty of making new friends in middle school.
C. The transformations and opportunities in growing up.
D. The impact of parental expectations on teenagers.
28.What does Charlie plan to do in middle school
A. Listen to others more carefully. B. Follow her heart and passions.
