When I was young, strong heroes in my favorite novels gave me courage and provide a map for my life. And I didn’t discover the power of poetry until I was in my twenties and making my way in New York. That’s when life got serious and broke myheart.
A teacher who later became a dear friend introduce me to Edna St. Vincent Milly (ESVM), the famous poet who lived in Manhattan at the turn of the 20th century. One of my favorite possessions—a valuable first-edition copy of ESVM’s short poetry collection, A Few Fig from Thistles—was a gift from this friend who was old enough to be my mother at the time. She told me the first “fig” described how I was living my life. My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my enemies, and oh, my friends—it gives a lovely night!
I was struggling to make ends meet but always made the time for fun by hanging out with friends. Some of them of course were careless with my heart but I could always find comfort and courage in ESVM’s wise words.
Rather than bore my friends, I could fall into my sorrow—whether it hit me—cry as much as I wanted in my bedroom. I found everything I needed in those 32 pages—hope, wisdom and encouragement. In the years since, I’ve found myself attracted to poetry whenever someone caused me pain.
Is it actually possible for something as common as a poem to save a life I’m not certain of that but I can prove the power of words. Like a relaxing walk outside, poetry can provide a healthy distraction and a meaningful change in perspective.
Like music, poetry speaks a universal language of rhythm, and speaks truths in a language that describes emotions. So why not keep interested in poems
24. What was the author’s life like when she was introduced to poetry
A. Peaceful. B. Hard. C. Boring. D. Colorful.
25. What can we know about the teacher mentioned in paragraph 2
A. She was a friend of ESVM’s.
B. She bought ESVM’s short poetry collection to the author.
C. She looked like the author’s mother.
D. She cared about the author.
26. How does the author probably tend to deal with her pain now
A. By losing herself in poetry. B. By hanging out with friends.
C. By staying in the bedroom. D. By taking a relaxing walk outside.
27. What’s the purpose of writing this passage
A. To introduce a poet the author likes best.
B. To tell a story about the author and poetry.
C. To explain the features of poetry.
D. To appeal to readers’interest in poetry.
C
It seems that the era of fancy, well-known restaurants has ended as people are now more interested in finding which hole-in-the-wall restaurant （苍蝇小馆） has the best food. Nowadays, it’s more fulfilling to post hole-in-the-wall restaurants you have found on Xiaohongshu and be asked for addresses in the comment section.
Hole-in-the-wall restaurants are small restaurants that are not highly decoratedbut have many delicious local dishes. Though they have long served as the “canteen” of their surrounding neighborhoods, these hole-in-the-wall restaurants have gradually retreated from the busy streets as more high-rise structures are built.
Now, hole-in-the-wall restaurants are often found in the corners of small lanes and alleys in different parts of a city and the most popular ones usually have a history of more than 10 years and are run as family businesses.
Many hole-in-the-wall restaurant lovers desire a more natural lifestyle, with some viewing their dining habits as a protest against consumerism. A native of Wuhan surnamed Tian, appreciates that these humble diners cook food with care. In contrast, some internet-famous restaurants only use pre-made food or simply stir-fry their dishes, she complained. This results in the foods having similar tastes.
A university student surnamed Zhou, tried a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with her boyfriend after friends recommended it to her. She ordered three dishes, which only cost 64 yuan. “The food tastes good, and it’s cheap,” she said.
Still, there are risks for both owners and fans of hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Zou Zhiping, a professor at Hubei University of Economics, said that due to limitations in funds and management as well as lack of food safety awareness, there could be hygiene and food security issues at these locations.
To solve these problems, Zou suggested that the government provide training and more support for these restaurants. These restaurants should also improve their quality of service.
28. What is the author’s attitude to the hole-in-the-wall restaurants
A. Approving. B. Skeptical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
29. What do we know about the hole-in-the-wall restaurants
A. They are often run as family businesses in the back lanes and alleys.
B. Pre-made food or simply stir-fried dishes are highly recommended there.
C. Customers can appreciate a natural and overdecorated lifestyle there.
D. Delicious and costly local specialities are served in those humble diners.
30. According to Zou Zhiping, what is NOT one of the causes of the risks
A. Limitations in funds. B. Imperfect management.
C. Off-the-map locations. D. Lack of safety awareness.
31. In which column do we probably find the article
A. Economy. B. Cuisine. C. Security. D. Management.
D
Hardly a day goes by without a company telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising how much it contributes to the environment on our behalf. In fact, they fail to make enough investment in renewable or alternative energy sources. Statistics are made up, and the tiniest ecological improvements are overstated in multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns, while in the meantime the greedy side of the business continues.
This is known as greenwashing, which means “making things that are not green look green”. As the public’s environmental awareness grew, so too did the experienceof corporate public relations strategies, and advertisers found ever-more-creative ways to use a green curtain to hide dark motives.
When a company spends more time and money claiming to be “green” than actually adopting business practices that minimize environmental impact, it is clear that, for them, environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan （口号）. Their message is “buy our products and you will end global warming, improve air quality and save the oceans”. At best, such greenwashing pushes the fact to its limits; at worst, it helps conceal deception.
And what about today’s consumers Few of them are truly well-equipped to make informed decisions about what is true. Greenwashing is only possible because consumers often believe what they are being told—why else would companies do it More information and greater awareness are essential. Analyzing the tricks used by advertisers should be part of every school curriculum. Non-governmental organizations can spread the word. Consumer groups can punish the greenwashing companies. But it is not enough. Legally enforceable systems must be put in place.
So what is already being done about planned attempts to pull the wool over consumers’eyes In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission is taking action against misleading advertising claims. France has published Green Claims Guidance, stressing that “an advertisement must avoid conveying a message contrary to the accepted principles of sustainable development”. All of these surely are the heart of the matter: the true impact of advertising is the promotion of unsustainable lifestyles. And there lies the real danger to our planet, a danger which cannot be ignored any longer.
32. What can we learn about greenwashing
A. It is an ecological concept. B. It is a marketing technique.
C. It is an awareness campaign. D. It is an advertising innovation.
33. What does the underlined phrase “conceal deception” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Hide the truth. B. Raise the risk. C. Expose the weakness. D. Break the limit.
34. What can be inferred about most consumers
A. They are lacking in legal knowledge.
B. They have encouraged greenwashing.
C. They may question consumer groups.
D. They tend to make sensible decisions.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Actions to fight false advertising. B. Ways to protect customers’interest.
C. Attempts to solve environmental problems. D. Proposals to ensure sustainable development.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. 36 Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.
37 The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting （发酵） are more commonly used.
Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. 38 Some ingredients—like carrots, onions and tomatoes —are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats like pig ears most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, usesa wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat.
39 Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent （同等物） in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.
Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates （味觉） adapt to new flavors easily. 40
A. The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s.
B. Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.
C. There are so many regions of China, and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently.
D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America.
E. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.
F. Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.
G. One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods.

In a small town called Meadowville, there was a beloved playground that had brought joy to generations of children.11-year-old Emma and her best friends, Aliceand Leo, were among those who idled away their after-school time and weekends there all year round. It was a place where imaginations soared, friendships blossomed, and laughter echoed through the air.
One afternoon, rushing out the school gate, Emma shouted, “Let’s go down to the playground!” The three of them got there soon, but it was locked up. The fence was broken and the swings had tape around them.
Shocked, they stared into each other’s eyes, not knowing why. A man approached them, explaining that it was unsafe and the council had decided to shut it down.
“Will they fix it ” asked Alice.
“No, it will cost a lot, at least ten thousand dollars.” the man shook his head, walking away. Leo looked desperate, gazing at the playground and then hanging his head, as if bidding farewell. “We need to get some help!” Emma dragged Alice towards her home.
On stepping into the house, Emma exclaimed, “Dad! We need ten thousand dollars...” Her dad, who was drinking coffee, turned his head around, “What ” Alice then revealed the truth. Hearing this heart-breaking news, Emma’s parents were more than surprised, for their childhood was closely connected with that playground as well. They spread the news to other families.
Instead of providing the money, they suggested the children take matters into their own hands while parents offered assistance.

66. One possible version:
Aimed at promoting traditional Chinese culture, our school held a lecture concerning Chinese classical music. As scheduled, the lecture was held from 2:00pm to 4:00pm last Sunday in our school hall. It covered a wide range of activities. To begin with, a professor from the music department gave us an instructive class regarding classic music. Then musical instrument performances were given by senior students. Last but not least, the lecture ended up with a competitive knowledge contest. By participating in the activity, not only did we mastered some basic and practical skills, but we also cultivated our comprehensive quality.
67. One possible version:
Emma sprang to her feet, “Let’s hold a bake sale to raise funds!” Everyone presents lit up, nodding in agreement. With respective tasks, the children and parents got down to the preparation. Emma’s father made a huge banner reading “Saving the Playground” while Leo’s mom occupied herself with paperwork needed to issue a permit for the sale. Meanwhile, kids worked jointly to design and hand out the leaflets. Eventually, the big day came. Almost every family in their community contributed their delicious homemade treats. That Sunday morning, the aroma of freshly baked cookies and cakes filled the air as people lined up to support the cause. Being a tremendous success, the sale in the farmer’s market went for another 2 months.
Their hard work paid off. As news of their efforts spread, local businesses started pitching in. The hardware store donated paint and materials, while the gardening center provided plants and flowers. The children worked tirelessly, transforming the worn-out playground into a vibrant and inviting space once again. On the day of re-opening, the children organized a community celebration, inviting everyone who had contributed to the project to share the joy. The children ofMeadowville taught the world that with determination, unity, and a little bit of fundraising, anything is possible. The playground stood as a testament to their resilience and the power of their youthful spirits, reminding everyone that dreams can be achieved when hearts come together.

The subway system in San Francisco serves the transportation needs of about five million residents, with 45 stations across a dozen cities and towns in the San Francisco Bay Area. There are a total of four lines that are known by color: yellow, orange, red and blue. All lines travel through San Francisco, and service runs from 5:00 a. m. to midnight. An interesting fact is that only one third of the stations are below street level; the rest are either at street level or ravel high above the freeway. The average speed of the trains is 35miles per hour, but they can go up to80 miles an hour. The cost to ride the trains depends on how far you want to go. Many people who live in the suburbs take the train into San Francisco to go to work. This means that the system is very crowded from 7:00 a. m. to 9:00 a. m. and again from 3:00 p. m. to 6:00 p. m. , but outside these times, the subway system is not very busy. This can be great if you want to get a seat, but it also means that there are fewer trains. During rush hour, trains come every 5-10 minutes, but in the middle of the day and late at night, trains cone every 20-30 minutes.
