The following list includes some books that come highly recommended by millions of readers and also a short summary of the highlights of each work.
The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David Mann
I didn’t even expect that such a short book could make a huge difference in my way towards life. It simply explains complex laws that direct mankind, and concludes that there is always truth in the opposite.
Dao De Jing by Lao Zi
Dao De Jing is one of the finest books on philosophy written by Lao Zi, an ancient Chinese philosopher and poet. It is sincere, exciting and makes you think a lot. Read it and get in touch with the clear educative understandings that give you enough tips to pursue your life goal full of passion.
The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles
I had my own misunderstandings of getting rich till I read this book. The book made a huge difference to my life after I discovered the secrets mentioned. Read it and it teaches you how to become rich, not immediately, but step by step.
The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg
I never knew habits played such an important role in shaping our future until I read this book. It says, you are what your habits are, and also suggests the proven techniques to create new habits that change our lifestyles and eventually our livers. It is must-read for everyone who wishes to form lifetime habits.
The Road Less Travelled, by Scott Peck
Simply put, buy this book for the path towards understanding in a spiritual way that strengthens your personal growth. This book never gives you easy solutions to the challenges of life; it simply is part of life and leaves you with better understanding to lead a fulfilled life.

B
My oldest child, Emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation
The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored in STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”.
But Emma is a student of the humanities at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest. — and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.”
Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.
From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma’s contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.
34.What are the author’s friends and family most concerned about in the current period
A. They are worried about Emma’s safety
B. They are worried about the job market
C. They are concerned about Emma’s future
D. They have been worrying about the flood
35.What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. The number of the graduates is increasing.
B. STEM graduates can be better employees.
C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.
D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.
36.Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities
A. Because she is interested in it.
B. Because her mother told her to.
C. Because it is increasingly popular.
D. Because she wants further education.
37.According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that_________.
A. it should be among the STEM
B. it should be fashionable and interesting
C. it should allow a good job and a high salary
D. it should bring achievements and happiness
C
One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food. However, not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot. One solution is community gardens, which have become popular worldwide, numbering 18,000 in North America alone. In addition to providing low-cost, delicious food, these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits.
Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents. Often, the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city. The site is divided into manageable plots, which may be tended by individuals or by the garden's members collectively. Since the land is usually publicly owned, the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal. In fact, New York City, which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20,000 members, charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot. Other costs involve soil, tools, seeds, fencing, and so on. However, because they're shared by many people, individual gardeners pay very little.
A community garden can quickly pay off, in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables, in addition to beautiful flowers. Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets. But a garden's benefits don't stop there. They also beautify cities, foster strong relationships among residents, and lower an area's crime rate. Award-winning spaces like London's Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists. Beautiful and affordable, community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities.
38. Who are community gardens designed for
A. People who don’t have their own property.
B. People who are concerned about food safety.
C. People who can’t afford to buy organic food.
D. People who live in a house with a private plot.
39. According to the passage, which of the following about New York City is right
A. It is owned by 20,000 individual gardeners.
B. It contains more than 750 community gardens.
C. It charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing.
D. It is tended by professional gardeners and local residents.
40. What’s the benefit of community gardens
A. Residents are more familiar and related with each other.
B. People can make some profits from the visiting tourists.
C. The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste.
D. People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat.
41. The underlined word “oases” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. cultural and art centers.
B. popular platforms for exchanges.
C. peaceful and safe lands.
D. commercial and prosperous places.
D
Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. He should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamic and promoting shared decision-making.
Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.
To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone's viewpoints, justifying arguments with reasons, and seeking evidence to support arguments. It also involves expressing critically but constructively, such as other ideas, ideas, contributions, and seeking further explanation.
Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules for Exploratory Talk”. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children ask questions, contribute, reason, and develop ideas. For instance, children learn to ask “What do you think Why ” and listen attentively to each other's responses, reaching reasoned conclusions.
Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share knowledge and ideas on a specific topic. Research indicates that children's Talking Points about more imaginative and extensive responses to traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that alternative or valuable sources are new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in discussions but also in life as well.
42. What may help solve the group work paradox
A. Active interaction among teachers.
B. Group learning among students.
C. Teachers’ effective guidance.
D. Students’ deep engagement.
43. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students
A. To popularize group activities.
B. To build up their individuality.
C. To stimulate more proposals.
D. To encourage reasoning in talks.
44. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Students should be challenged with uncertainties.
B. Traditional questions should be avoided in class.
C. Well-designed learning materials are group activities.
D. Idea exchanges between the students deserve top priority.
45. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Paradox of Cooperative Learning and Its Solution
B. Impact of Effective Communicators in Group Discussion
C. Teaching Children to Cooperate in Classroom Group Work
D. Exploratory Talk as a Powerful Learning Tool in Group Work
第二节 阅读短文，从文后选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项(两项多余选项)
As the world’s population increases, so does the need for food, especially from animal sources. This urges us to find sustainable ways to feed billions more people in the future. 46 It has a great impact on our health and environment.
Many people are skeptical about reducing meat consumption, but there are many benefits of adopting plant-based diet. 47 Besides, it produces significantly fewer greenhouse gases and requires less land and water than animals. This helps keep ecological balance and promotes better life quality.
48 This kind of diet is not usually preferred by people who enjoy the taste of animal meat. Just like the resistance some people have towards eating insects, the shift to plant-based diet also requires great changes in how people perceive and enjoy food.
The future of our food supply will depend heavily on our willingness to accept more sustainable eating habits. Options like lab-grown meats are promising. Yet will these food choices become common in our supermarkets 49
How we choose to eat in the coming years will contribute to ensuring a sustainable future for you and me. 50 Hopefully, we can balance our nutritional needs with the planet’s ability to support us, building a harmonious relationship with our environment.
A．Such diet has been tried by many people.
B．It remains to be seen whether we can make it happen.
C．It is more nutritious compared with animal-based food.
D．Much depends on how such restaurants treat customers.
E．However, adapting to plant-based diet can be challenging.
F．Our choices directly impact the ecosystem and social welfare.
G．A practical solution is plant-based diet including fruits, vegetables and nuts.

Last Saturday witnessed a social practice activity which has sparked students’ love for nature. Almost all the students of senior two participated in the activity.
We arrived at the “Hong Xing Farm” which enjoys a good reputation for its organic food early in the morning. We walked through the bushes and looked for fruits and vegetables with the guidance of the workers. We picked them happily. The practice left a deep impression on us. Not only did it enrich our school life, but it further developed our love for work.
There is no denying that this was a fantastic experience and I do hope to go there once again.

The following list includes some books that come highly recommended by millions of readers and also a short summary of the highlights of each work.
The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David Mann
I didn’t even expect that such a short book could make a huge difference in my way towards life. It simply explains complex laws that direct mankind, and concludes that there is always truth in the opposite.

It is must-read for everyone who wishes to form lifetime habits.

B
My oldest child, Emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation
The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored in STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”.
But Emma is a student of the humanities at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest. — and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.”
Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.
From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma’s contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.
34.What are the author’s friends and family most concerned about in the current period
A. They are worried about Emma’s safety
B. They are worried about the job market
C. They are concerned about Emma’s future
D. They have been worrying about the flood
35.What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. The number of the graduates is increasing.
B. STEM graduates can be better employees.
C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.
D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.
36.Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities
A. Because she is interested in it.
B. Because her mother told her to.
C. Because it is increasingly popular.
D. Because she wants further education.
37.According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that_________.
A. it should be among the STEM
B. it should be fashionable and interesting
C. it should allow a good job and a high salary
D. it should bring achievements and happiness
C
One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food. However, not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot. One solution is community gardens, which have become popular worldwide, numbering 18,000 in North America alone. In addition to providing low-cost, delicious food, these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits.
Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents. Often, the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city. The site is divided into manageable plots, which may be tended by individuals or by the garden's members collectively. Since the land is usually publicly owned, the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal. In fact, New York City, which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20,000 members, charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot. Other costs involve soil, tools, seeds, fencing, and so on. However, because they're shared by many people, individual gardeners pay very little.
A community garden can quickly pay off, in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables, in addition to beautiful flowers. Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets. But a garden's benefits don't stop there. They also beautify cities, foster strong relationships among residents, and lower an area's crime rate. Award-winning spaces like London's Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists. Beautiful and affordable, community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities.
38. Who are community gardens designed for
A. People who don’t have their own property.
B. People who are concerned about food safety.
C. People who can’t afford to buy organic food.
D. People who live in a house with a private plot.
39. According to the passage, which of the following about New York City is right
A. It is owned by 20,000 individual gardeners.
B. It contains more than 750 community gardens.
C. It charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing.
D. It is tended by professional gardeners and local residents.
40. What’s the benefit of community gardens
A. Residents are more familiar and related with each other.
B. People can make some profits from the visiting tourists.
C. The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste.
D. People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat.
41. The underlined word “oases” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. cultural and art centers.
B. popular platforms for exchanges.
C. peaceful and safe lands.
D. commercial and prosperous places.
D
Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. He should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamic and promoting shared decision-making.
Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.
To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone's viewpoints, justifying arguments with reasons, and seeking evidence to support arguments. It also involves expressing critically but constructively, such as other ideas, ideas, contributions, and seeking further explanation.
Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules for Exploratory Talk”. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children ask questions, contribute, reason, and develop ideas. For instance, children learn to ask “What do you think Why ” and listen attentively to each other's responses, reaching reasoned conclusions.
Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share knowledge and ideas on a specific topic. Research indicates that children's Talking Points about more imaginative and extensive responses to traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that alternative or valuable sources are new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in discussions but also in life as well.
42. What may help solve the group work paradox
A. Active interaction among teachers.
B. Group learning among students.
C. Teachers’ effective guidance.
D. Students’ deep engagement.
43. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students
A. To popularize group activities.
B. To build up their individuality.
C. To stimulate more proposals.
D. To encourage reasoning in talks.
44. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Students should be challenged with uncertainties.
B. Traditional questions should be avoided in class.
C. Well-designed learning materials are group activities.
D. Idea exchanges between the students deserve top priority.
45. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Paradox of Cooperative Learning and Its Solution
B. Impact of Effective Communicators in Group Discussion
C. Teaching Children to Cooperate in Classroom Group Work
D. Exploratory Talk as a Powerful Learning Tool in Group Work

As the world’s population increases, so does the need for food, especially from animal sources. This urges us to find sustainable ways to feed billions more people in the future. 46 It has a great impact on our health and environment.
Many people are skeptical about reducing meat consumption, but there are many benefits of adopting plant-based diet. 47 Besides, it produces significantly fewer greenhouse gases and requires less land and water than animals. This helps keep ecological balance and promotes better life quality.
48 This kind of diet is not usually preferred by people who enjoy the taste of animal meat. Just like the resistance some people have towards eating insects, the shift to plant-based diet also requires great changes in how people perceive and enjoy food.
The future of our food supply will depend heavily on our willingness to accept more sustainable eating habits. Options like lab-grown meats are promising. Yet will these food choices become common in our supermarkets 49
How we choose to eat in the coming years will contribute to ensuring a sustainable future for you and me. 50 Hopefully, we can balance our nutritional needs with the planet’s ability to support us, building a harmonious relationship with our environment.
A．Such diet has been tried by many people.
B．It remains to be seen whether we can make it happen.
C．It is more nutritious compared with animal-based food.
D．Much depends on how such restaurants treat customers.
E．However, adapting to plant-based diet can be challenging.
F．Our choices directly impact the ecosystem and social welfare.
G．A practical solution is plant-based diet including fruits, vegetables and nuts.

Last Saturday witnessed a social practice activity which has sparked students’ love for nature. Almost all the students of senior two participated in the activity.
We arrived at the “Hong Xing Farm” which enjoys a good reputation for its organic food early in the morning. We walked through the bushes and looked for fruits and vegetables with the guidance of the workers. We picked them happily. The practice left a deep impression on us. Not only did it enrich our school life, but it further developed our love for work.
There is no denying that this was a fantastic experience and I do hope to go there once again.
