A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation.” But Xu Yuanchong, a well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme(押韵) and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.”
Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.
Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.
Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators(参议员) disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.
Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about 1,000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue. “Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore(毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said.
24.What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong
A.He mastered at least three foreign languages.
B.He translated about 100 Chinese works into English.
C.He was the first winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize.
D.He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses.
25.What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Particular. B.Satisfied. C.Inventive. D.Productive.
26.Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4
A.To recommend Xu’s translation works. B.To stress the charm of Chinese poetry.
C.To show Xu’s great translation skills. D.To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.
27.Which of the following words can best describe Xu
A.Thoughtful and modest. B.Generous and objective.
C.Creative and open-minded. D.Devoted and hard-working.
C
One day, there’ll be no need for you to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles(纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles(刷毛),a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets(磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles. When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager.
28.What is special about the tooth cleaner
A.It’s water-resistant. B.It looks like a toothbrush.
C.It’s appearance-changeable. D.It contains skinny bristles.
29.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The bristles’ formation. B.The working principle.
C.The virus-killing process. D.The magnets’ motion.
30.How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A.Uncertain. B.Unfavorable. C.Concerned. D.Positive.
31.Which of the following would be the best title
A.A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth Cleaner B.Magnetic Nanoparticles for Tooth Growth
C.A New Concept for Automatic Healthcare D.An Antivirus Liquid Tooth Cleaner for Adults
D
Not only is sleep a common topic of our small talk, we’ve also spent decades trying to understand and explain it. After all, we spend an average of 26 years of our lives sleeping. Here are the important findings of the last decade of research.
A particularly interesting finding is in the study of lucid dreaming(清醒梦)— it seems possible to communicate with people while they’re sleeping. In a study called “Real-time dialogue between experimenters and dreamers”, researchers asked questions to participants(参与者) in a lucid dream. The dreamers signaled the answers using pre-agreed eye or facial movements. They were accurate, suggesting they could access their cognitive(认知) functions such as working memory while sleeping. This interaction between dreamworld and reality has brought excitement to sleep experts.
Sleep can also help our memory and problem-solving. A 2023 research by Denis and Cairney noted that brain regions that are used to learn new things, are reactivated during sleep. That means that while we’re sleeping, our brains go over our daily experiences, which is considered important for keeping memories. And, if you’ve ever felt it was best to sleep on a tricky problem and solve it in the morning, you might have scientific backing! A 2019 study by Sanders found that people were more likely to solve a tricky problem the next day if the problem had been activated in their brains during sleep. So, if you’re stuck, rest up and return to it in the morning.
What if you’ve trouble falling asleep Unfortunately, you may be at higher risk of negative moods and worse emotional regulation, according to a 2021 study. The good news is there are plenty of tips to help you overcome your sleep difficulty. Experts recommend having a set time to start lying down, meditating(冥想) before bed, and avoiding caffeine before bed.
32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A.Dreaming has little connection to reality.
B.Lucid dreaming is a common experience.
C.People can communicate with others while dreaming.
D.People can control their dreams in lucid dreaming.
33.What does Denis and Cairney’s research suggest
A.Sleep helps the brain learn better. B.People dream a lot during their sleep.
C.Lack of sleep has negative effect on mood. D.People forget most of daily events during sleep.
34.Why might sleeping help solve problems
A.The brain learns better at night.
B.The brain has a good rest during sleep.
C.Sleeping allows the brain to process daily events,
D.Sleepers have more time to think about the problem.
35.What is recommended to improve sleep quality
A.Have a regular bedtime routine. B.Exercise for some time before bed.
C.Stay awake for longer during the day. D.Avoid talking about sleep in the daytime.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Without these things, our daily lives would look much different. Some of us couldn’t watch television. Some of us couldn’t figure out how to navigate from one place to another when traveling. Some of us could be endangered by bad weather that we didn’t know was coming. 36 Man-made satellites, of course!
Man-made satellites are machines that humans launch into orbit, usually around the Earth. The Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite— Sputnik 1— on October 4, 1957. The United States launched its first artificial satellite— Explorer 1— about four months later. 37 Would you have ever guessed there are that many satellites up there in the sky, traveling around the Earth over and over again
38 Satellites like the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station, and the Russian Mir space station help scientists explore space in new and exciting munications satellites help us communicate with people all over the world. Weather satellites help us observe the Earth from space to help predict weather patterns. Radio and television satellites send us our favorite songs, movies, and television shows for us to enjoy. There’s even a group of satellites that make up the Global Positioning System(GPS). 39
Satellites are launched into orbits at different distances from Earth. Some may be as close as 150 miles above Earth, while others may be as far away as 20,000 miles or more. When satellites stop working, they become orbiting “space junk” until gravity pulls them back to Earth. Although at least one piece of space junk returns to Earth every day, it’s rare that anyone ever notices. 40
A.What are we talking about
B.How many satellites are there in space
C.So no need to worry that the sky is falling!
D.Satellites can be sent to orbit other planets, too.
E.Man-made satellites are used for various purposes.
F.Without these satellites, we might get lost while traveling.
G.Over 3,000 satellites have been launched into space since then.

Many years ago, in a village lived a poor family. When the son Bruce entered primary school, his father passed away. The mother Jane had to work tirelessly to raise Bruce. She worked hard on the farm. At night she did housework while Bruce studied. Year after year, as the walls became covered with his certificates(奖状), Bruce grew tall and strong.
When the trees all over the mountain were showing signs of autumn, Bruce was accepted into the top high school. However, Jane had developed rheumatism(风湿) and could no longer do farm work. Sometimes, they didn’t even have enough to eat.
In those hard times, every student at the high school had to bring 30 pounds of rice each month for the cafeteria(食堂). Bruce knew his mother couldn’t provide it, so he said: “Mother, I want to drop out and help you with the farm work.” Jane replied, “I’m glad you have such a thought, but you must continue your studies. Don’t worry. Go to school first, and I will bring the rice later.”
Several days later, Jane arrived at the school with a bag of rice. The man in charge of the cafeteria, Gorge, opened the bag and took a handful of rice. He said. “Look, there’s early rice, late rice, and fine rice all mixed together. It’s hard to cook if you bring mixed r ice again. I won’t accept it.”
With tears running down her cheeks, Jane said, “I’m so sorry. In fact, this rice is begged from others. I have rheumatism. Even walking is difficult, let alone farming. Please don’t tell my son about the mixed rice.”

第一节
One possible version:
An Experience During the National Day
During the National Day, I actively participated in the labor organized by our community. The project was focused on cleaning and beautifying our local park.
The process involved several tasks, including cleaning up litter, planting new flowers and painting benches. We started early in the morning, equipped with gloves, trash bags and gardening tools. We worked cooperatively according to the assignment. The most challenging part was digging and planting, which required physical strength. It was not until dusk that we finished our task and went home.
The experience made me appreciate the value of community and the impact of collective effort. I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride in contributing to the environmental improvement of our shared space.
第二节
One possible version:
The mother’s words left Gorge in tears. After knowing Bruce’s father died years ago and Bruce’s mother’s illness, Gorge knew the reason why Bruce’s mother provided the mixed rice. Gorge realized it was very hard for the family to support Bruce. In order to help Bruce finish his study, Gorge wanted to do something for the poor family. He went to the headmaster and offered to help Bruce provide the rice required by school during the following years.
On the day of the graduation celebration, the headmaster told the story of the mixed rice. After hearing of the heart-warming story, everyone couldn’t help crying and was deeply moved by the selfless love and care of the school. The precious love took deep root in their hearts, encouraging them to move forward in their life. They made their mind that they would offer a helping hand to those in need in the future and be a better person.

M: Hi, Anna! How is your new house You moved into a new house over the summer, right
W: I did! My dad got a different job across town, so we moved closer to his work. Our new house is great. I have a big room with a table to do my homework, as well as some nice furniture to store all my clothes and books.
M: That sounds nice! What about the rest of the house
W: I love it. It has big rooms and many windows. And my mum planted flowers and trees all around it. It’s really pretty—a lot nicer than our old house. My old room was small, and the old house was ugly with no flowers. But I still miss it!
M: I’m happy for you! I’d love to come over and see it sometime. Maybe this weekend or next weekend
W: This Saturday would be good, Dave! I just need to ask my mum.
