It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically: Turned left to the Station Road, then another left onto Montauk Highway, and then—bam! When Esposito’s car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher. DiPinto, who was 65, fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any firefighter would have done what I did.” he said. “We’re always on duty.”
At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all right, DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito’s car straddling the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train’s arrival.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and broke the window on the driver’s side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don’t know where I am.” she said.
“You’re on the railroad tracks,” DiPinto yelled. “I have to get you off right now!” The train was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver’s door cannot be opened due to the collision (碰撞), so DiPinto quickly ran to the other side and managed to open the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
“Last night.” said Gregory Miglino Jr. Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas (睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.”
24. What can we know about the accident from Paragraph 1

D. Esposito’s car crashed into another vehicle.

D. DiPinto couldn’t find a fire truck when the accident happened.
C
The earliest bread may have been made from cattails (香蒲) and ferns (蕨类), which date back to nearly 30,000 years ago. This suggests that even before the rise of agriculture, humans had begun to form a type of flour that they would then use to create bread. The earliest wheat and barley-based bread developed from the Middle East by around 12,000 years ago.
One problem with the production of early bread was preservation, as bread would often go bad quickly. The solution was to change unused bread into beer, which proved to be far more suitable for storage. Beer likely made the production of bread less wasteful, as extra bread not eaten could then be made into beer.
With the development of the earliest bread, new technologies appeared to help with the baking process. This included enclosed ovens and open ovens that used mud or brick to make a hot surface on which flatbread could be prepared from a dough mix. Bread and earlier agricultural foods affected the development of many food preparation technologies, including pestles, querns, and mills (磨面机).
The production of bread led to many major changes in society, where the production and processing of wheat and barley for bread and other foods changed economies and social structures. Much labor was employed for the production of food with the rise of cities, where an increased population required bread to be made at more industrial scales in large ovens and prepared by many people. At first, people made flour by hand, often leading to coarse grains. Later, mills and large flat stones were used to make more high-quality flour.
Millet was another grain used to make bread, particularly in India and China. A form of flatbread made of millet is still the main food type in India. In China, sorghum and rice were also used to make bread, which made the consistency (粘稠度) and quality very different from wheat-and barley-based bread.
28. What did ancient people use to make bread in the beginning
A. Wheat and barley. B. Cattails and ferns.
C. Sorghum and rice. D. Millet and com.
29. What did the ancient people do to stop the waste of bread
A. They changed bread into another state.
B. They stored bread in a more suitable place.
C. They developed a way to produce extra bread.
D. They improved the baking process of the bread.
30. What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph
A. The development of baking tools.
B. New technologies for baking bread.
C. The way to use food preparation tools.
D. The process of preparing a dough mix.
31. What can we infer from the production of bread
A. It led to a sharp increase of population in cities.
B. It made people only use machines to make better flour.
C. It pushed the development of economy and technology.
D. It promoted the division of labor in a more suitable way.
D
Wearable trackers and monitors (such as smartwatches) are increasingly popular.
Wearables are playing an increasing role in managing and discovering conditions like atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), the most common heart rhythm problem, For many people, the sense that they are receiving reliable, objective and personalized health data can encourage feelings of confidence, safety and assurance, especially when combined with symptom trackers or patient diaries. This may allow patients to self-manage their condition at home with their families, rather than spending time in hospital—reducing anxiety and stress. In a clinical setting, data may also encourage patients to take part in shared decision-making. Interpreting health data together with doctors or other health-care professionals, they can develop goals and action plans, including when to seek help, and when to go to hospital. Patients who understand their condition tend to report fewer atrial fibrillation symptoms.
However, a study examined the behavior and well-being of 172 people with atrial fibrillation over a nine-month period. It found the 83 people who used wearables to monitor their condition were more worried about their symptoms and treatment, with one in five experiencing “intense anxiety”. Chronic anxiety can contribute to stress. burnout and poor physical health, which in turn can exacerbate (使加剧) heart conditions.
Some people also describe being a “prisoner of the numbers”. They feel they “need to keep checking the device to know how they were doing, leading to the device dominating their lives”. The volume and frequency of notifications (通知), alarms and vibrations (震动) from wearable devices can be overwhelming and make people worry about their health. Information overload can also discourage self-management, with notifications instead prompting people to seek health advice more often than they otherwise would.
It’s a catch-22 situation: The wearable device may help you better manage your chronic heart condition, but wearing it could make you anxious—which is bad for those conditions.
If you already use a wearable device for health monitoring, it can be helpful to regularly review the data and notification settings. You may wish to discuss how you are using your device to help you self-manage your condition with your doctor or nurse. With any chronic disease, having a management action plan is important.
32. Which of the following is a benefit of wearing wearables
A. Controlling heart rhythm problems.
B. Allowing patients to make decisions.
C. Reporting atrial fibrillation symptoms.
D. Finding the wearers’ health conditions.
33. What can we infer from the study
A. 89 people were healthy. B. Wearables can lead to anxiety.
C. Devices cause overloaded data. D. 35 people experienced intense anxiety.
34. What does the underlined phrase “a catch-22 situation” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. A hard choice. B. A social reality.
C. A catching event. D. A bad condition.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Digital devices are irreplaceable in life.
B. Being monitored is good for our health.
C. Wearables lead people to be more anxious.
D. Wearables are like the coin with two sides.

Will a purpose-driven life help you live longer
Do you get joy out of volunteering or learning new skills in the class you’ve been taking
36 As it turns out, being inspired by things in your life doesn’t just help your emotional wellbeing—it may keep you healthier.
A 2019 JAMA Network Open study found that among a group of nearly 7,000 adults over age 50, those who scored highest on a scale that measured “life purpose” were less likely to die during the four-year study period. 37
“There have been a number of studies suggesting that a higher sense of purpose in life is associated with reduced risk of early death.” says Eric S. Kim. Ph.D., a visiting scientist in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “ 38 That’s an interesting advancement of knowledge.”
So, what exactly is life purpose Life purpose is defined differently by different people. 39 This purpose, the study authors said, helps make it more likely that you will engage in behaviors that are good for your health. Some studies also have been carried out to simply ask people what gives them a sense of purpose in life. 40 That may include family and relationships, community, helping others, learning new skills and taking part in leisure activities or hobbies, to name just a few.
“I define it as the extent to which people experience their lives as being directed and motivated by valued life goals.” says Kim.
A. People made a long list.
B. If you said yes, it could help you live longer.
C. Many factors contribute to their physical health.
D. But in general it indicates that you have an aim in life.
E. The study showed a sense of purpose matters most in life.
F. They were especially less likely to die from heart or blood conditions.
G. But this study showed a purposeful life is linked with specific causes of death.

Adam, my 6-year-old son, has a natural curiosity about the world around him and likes asking many questions.
One afternoon, my son came home from school with a puzzled look on his face. After being asked what was on his mind, he said. “Are all people the same even if their skin color is different ”
I thought for a moment, and then I said, “I’ll explain, if you can just wait until we make a quick stop at the grocery store. I have something interesting to show you.”
At the grocery store, I told him that we needed to buy apples. We went to the produce section where we bought some red apples, green apples and yellow apples.
At home, while we were putting all the groceries away, I told Adam. “It’s time to answer your question.” I put one of each type of apples on the countertop: First a red apple, followed by a green apple and then a yellow apple. Then I looked at Adam, who was sitting on the other side of the counter.
“Adam, people are just like apples. They come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some of the apples have been bumped around and are bruised (碰伤). On the outside, they may not even look as delicious as the others. However, things are not always what they seem. As the saying goes, you can never judge a book by its cover.” As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully.
“Now, just look at me and follow my instructions, and I’ll demonstrate something interesting to you,” I told Adam, who looked at me with a curious look in his eyes. Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮) them, placing them back on the countertop, but in a different place.

Recent years have seen the rise of the guochao/China-chic trend in China. If you look around your city, you may spot young women wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets.
There is no doubt that the guochao/China-Chic trend reflects people’s positive attitude toward China’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture. It not only showcases the charm and uniqueness of Chinese culture but also promotes the development of domestic brands.
As our country becomes stronger and stronger, I’m sure the value of Chinese culture will be appreciated by more people and the guochao/China-Chic trend will have a global influence. (110词)

参考范文：
Then, I asked Adam which was the red apple, the green one and the yellow one. Staring at the three apples in confusion, Adam said, “I can’t tell. They all look the same now.” “Now you know how ridiculous it is to focus on the outside appearance alone,” I told Adam. Meanwhile, I intended to help him realize the importance of the inner quality of things. So I instructed him to take a bite of each one to see if that helped him figure out which one was which.
He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are just like apples! They are all different, but once you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.” “Right,” I agreed. “Just like how everyone has their own personality but is still basically the same. So don’t judge people by their outward appearance.” He totally got it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s also true that a perfect example is worth a thousand words. (155词)

33. B. 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，这项研究发现，被测者中83名使用可穿戴设备监测病情的人更担心自己的症状和治疗情况，其中五分之一的人感到“极度焦虑”。由此可推知，可穿戴设备会导致焦虑。
34. A. 词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句的后半句可知，可穿戴设备有助于更好地管理慢性心脏疾病，但佩戴它也会导致焦虑。由此可推知，这是一个进退两雄的局面。a catch-22 situation意为“进退维谷的局面”，与a hard choice意义相近。
35. D. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了可穿戴设备在给患者提供可靠、客观及个性化的健康数据的同时，也会使患者更担心自己的症状和治疗情况，进而导致患者长期焦虑，加剧病情。作者建议患者与医生讨论如何使用设备管理病情，制订管理行动计划。由此可推知，“可穿戴设备像硬币一样具有两面性”符合文章大意。
三、七选五：
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拥有目标的生活能够让人更加长寿，以及如何理解生活的目标(life purpose)，旨在引导读者拥有健康的生活方式和积极的生活态度。
36. 根据空前内容“Do you get joy out of volunteering or learning new skills in the class you’ve been taking (你能从志愿服务或上课学习新技能中得到快乐吗？)”可知，此处需要对该问题做出回答。选项B“If you said yes，it could help you live longer. (如果你说是的，它可以让你更加长寿)”不仅给出一种回答，而且与空后的“As it turns out，being inspired by things in your life doesn’t just help your emotional well-being-it may keep you healthier. (事实证明，受到生活中事物的启发不仅有助于你的情绪健康，还可能让你更健康)”相衔接。故选B。
37. 根据空前内容“those who scored highest on a scale that measured ‘life purpose’ were less likely to die during the four-year study period (在四年的研究里，那些在衡量‘生活目的’的量表上得分最高的人死亡的可能性较小)”，选项F“They were especially less likely to die from heart or blood conditions (他们尤其不太可能死于心脏或血液疾病)”中的They即指代前面的those，especially是对前一句死因之一的进一步说明。故选F。
38. 根据空前内容“There have been a number of studies suggesting that a higher sense of purpose in life is associated with reduced risk of early death (许多研究表明，更高的生活目标与降低早逝风险有关)”和空后内容“That’s an interesting advancement of knowledge (这是一个有趣的增进知识的方面)”，该空需说明此次研究(即第三段中的“A 2019 JAMA Network Open study found”)的不同之处，即“But this study showed a purposeful life is linked with specific causes of death (但这项研究首次表明，有目的的生活与特定的死亡原因有关)”。故选G。
39. 根据空前内容“So, what exactly is life purpose Life purpose is defined differently by different people (那么，生活的目的究竟是什么？不同的人对生活目的的定义不同)”，该空需对生活的目的做出解释，即“But in general it indicates that you have an aim in life (但总的来说，这表明你有人生的目标)”，it指代life purpose。故选D。
40. 根据空前内容“Some studies also have been carried out to simply ask people what gives them a sense of purpose in life(还进行了一些研究，简单地问人们是什么给了他们生活的目的)”和空后内容“That may include. (这可能包括……)”，该空应为人们对于生活的目的的回应，即“People made a long list (人们列了一个长长的清单)”。故选A。

There is no doubt that the guochao/China-Chic trend reflects people’s positive attitude toward China’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture. It not only showcases the charm and uniqueness of Chinese culture but also promotes the development of domestic brands.
As our country becomes stronger and stronger, I’m sure the value of Chinese culture will be appreciated by more people and the guochao/China-Chic trend will have a global influence. (110词)
七、续写
参考范文：
Then, I asked Adam which was the red apple, the green one and the yellow one. Staring at the three apples in confusion, Adam said, “I can’t tell. They all look the same now.” “Now you know how ridiculous it is to focus on the outside appearance alone,” I told Adam. Meanwhile, I intended to help him realize the importance of the inner quality of things. So I instructed him to take a bite of each one to see if that helped him figure out which one was which.
He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are just like apples! They are all different, but once you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.” “Right,” I agreed. “Just like how everyone has their own personality but is still basically the same. So don’t judge people by their outward appearance.” He totally got it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s also true that a perfect example is worth a thousand words. (155词)

M: Hello everyone! As you all know, every year the student union organizes a trip for the senior class. This year is no different! Our first major decision was to choose when we would go. Even though I know quite a few of you suggested taking the trip in the spring, we decided that a winter trip would be best. The reason is that we were worried that a spring trip would compete with the end-of-year exam period. It is important that we all do well on the exams. Those of you that would like to attend the trip must contact James Plymouth. He is the one responsible for trip bookings. Seats are limited, so it is wise not to wait until last minute. I am aware that last year many students were left out of their spring trip because they didn’t express interest early enough. For those of you that attend, a form must be signed by a parent. Also, concerning accommodation, you can decide among yourselves who you want to stay with and whether you prefer a single or double room. I think that just about covers it. Hope we have a great time!

It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically: Turned left to the Station Road, then another left onto Montauk Highway, and then—bam! When Esposito’s car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher. DiPinto, who was 65, fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any firefighter would have done what I did.” he said. “We’re always on duty.”
At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all right, DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito’s car straddling the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train’s arrival.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and broke the window on the driver’s side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don’t know where I am.” she said.
“You’re on the railroad tracks,” DiPinto yelled. “I have to get you off right now!” The train was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver’s door cannot be opened due to the collision (碰撞), so DiPinto quickly ran to the other side and managed to open the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
“Last night.” said Gregory Miglino Jr. Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas (睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.”
24. What can we know about the accident from Paragraph 1
A. Esposito drove too fast.
B A running train hit Esposito’s car.
C. Esposito didn’t know the route well.
D. Esposito’s car crashed into another vehicle.
25. How was Janice Esposito right after the accident
A. She felt all right.
B She was badly hurt.
C. She got trapped in the car.
D. She completely lost her consciousness.
26. How was Janice Esposito rescued from her car
A. Through the door on the driver’s side.
B. Through the door on the passenger’s side.
C. Through the window on the driver’s side.
D. Through the window on the passenger’s side.
27. What did Gregory Miglino Jr. mean by “the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck”
A. DiPinto was a firefighter who liked wearing pajamas.
B. DiPinto was not a firefighter who had been trained before.
C. DiPinto hurried to save life without thinking about himself.
D. DiPinto couldn’t find a fire truck when the accident happened.

The earliest bread may have been made from cattails (香蒲) and ferns (蕨类), which date back to nearly 30,000 years ago. This suggests that even before the rise of agriculture, humans had begun to form a type of flour that they would then use to create bread. The earliest wheat and barley-based bread developed from the Middle East by around 12,000 years ago.
One problem with the production of early bread was preservation, as bread would often go bad quickly. The solution was to change unused bread into beer, which proved to be far more suitable for storage. Beer likely made the production of bread less wasteful, as extra bread not eaten could then be made into beer.
With the development of the earliest bread, new technologies appeared to help with the baking process. This included enclosed ovens and open ovens that used mud or brick to make a hot surface on which flatbread could be prepared from a dough mix. Bread and earlier agricultural foods affected the development of many food preparation technologies, including pestles, querns, and mills (磨面机).
The production of bread led to many major changes in society, where the production and processing of wheat and barley for bread and other foods changed economies and social structures. Much labor was employed for the production of food with the rise of cities, where an increased population required bread to be made at more industrial scales in large ovens and prepared by many people. At first, people made flour by hand, often leading to coarse grains. Later, mills and large flat stones were used to make more high-quality flour.
Millet was another grain used to make bread, particularly in India and China. A form of flatbread made of millet is still the main food type in India. In China, sorghum and rice were also used to make bread, which made the consistency (粘稠度) and quality very different from wheat-and barley-based bread.
28. What did ancient people use to make bread in the beginning
A. Wheat and barley. B. Cattails and ferns.
C. Sorghum and rice. D. Millet and com.
29. What did the ancient people do to stop the waste of bread

A. The development of baking tools.
B. New technologies for baking bread.
C. The way to use food preparation tools.
D. The process of preparing a dough mix.
31. What can we infer from the production of bread
A. It led to a sharp increase of population in cities.

D. It promoted the division of labor in a more suitable way.
D
Wearable trackers and monitors (such as smartwatches) are increasingly popular.
Wearables are playing an increasing role in managing and discovering conditions like atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), the most common heart rhythm problem, For many people, the sense that they are receiving reliable, objective and personalized health data can encourage feelings of confidence, safety and assurance, especially when combined with symptom trackers or patient diaries. This may allow patients to self-manage their condition at home with their families, rather than spending time in hospital—reducing anxiety and stress. In a clinical setting, data may also encourage patients to take part in shared decision-making. Interpreting health data together with doctors or other health-care professionals, they can develop goals and action plans, including when to seek help, and when to go to hospital. Patients who understand their condition tend to report fewer atrial fibrillation symptoms.
However, a study examined the behavior and well-being of 172 people with atrial fibrillation over a nine-month period. It found the 83 people who used wearables to monitor their condition were more worried about their symptoms and treatment, with one in five experiencing “intense anxiety”. Chronic anxiety can contribute to stress. burnout and poor physical health, which in turn can exacerbate (使加剧) heart conditions.
Some people also describe being a “prisoner of the numbers”. They feel they “need to keep checking the device to know how they were doing, leading to the device dominating their lives”. The volume and frequency of notifications (通知), alarms and vibrations (震动) from wearable devices can be overwhelming and make people worry about their health. Information overload can also discourage self-management, with notifications instead prompting people to seek health advice more often than they otherwise would.
It’s a catch-22 situation: The wearable device may help you better manage your chronic heart condition, but wearing it could make you anxious—which is bad for those conditions.
If you already use a wearable device for health monitoring, it can be helpful to regularly review the data and notification settings. You may wish to discuss how you are using your device to help you self-manage your condition with your doctor or nurse. With any chronic disease, having a management action plan is important.
32. Which of the following is a benefit of wearing wearables
A. Controlling heart rhythm problems.
B. Allowing patients to make decisions.
C. Reporting atrial fibrillation symptoms.
D. Finding the wearers’ health conditions.
33. What can we infer from the study
A. 89 people were healthy. B. Wearables can lead to anxiety.
C. Devices cause overloaded data. D. 35 people experienced intense anxiety.
34. What does the underlined phrase “a catch-22 situation” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. A hard choice. B. A social reality.
C. A catching event. D. A bad condition.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Digital devices are irreplaceable in life.
B. Being monitored is good for our health.
C. Wearables lead people to be more anxious.
D. Wearables are like the coin with two sides.

“There have been a number of studies suggesting that a higher sense of purpose in life is associated with reduced risk of early death.” says Eric S. Kim. Ph.D., a visiting scientist in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “ 38 That’s an interesting advancement of knowledge.”
So, what exactly is life purpose Life purpose is defined differently by different people. 39 This purpose, the study authors said, helps make it more likely that you will engage in behaviors that are good for your health. Some studies also have been carried out to simply ask people what gives them a sense of purpose in life. 40 That may include family and relationships, community, helping others, learning new skills and taking part in leisure activities or hobbies, to name just a few.
“I define it as the extent to which people experience their lives as being directed and motivated by valued life goals.” says Kim.
A. People made a long list.
B. If you said yes, it could help you live longer.
C. Many factors contribute to their physical health.
D. But in general it indicates that you have an aim in life.
E. The study showed a sense of purpose matters most in life.
F. They were especially less likely to die from heart or blood conditions.
G. But this study showed a purposeful life is linked with specific causes of death.

Adam, my 6-year-old son, has a natural curiosity about the world around him and likes asking many questions.
One afternoon, my son came home from school with a puzzled look on his face. After being asked what was on his mind, he said. “Are all people the same even if their skin color is different ”
I thought for a moment, and then I said, “I’ll explain, if you can just wait until we make a quick stop at the grocery store. I have something interesting to show you.”
At the grocery store, I told him that we needed to buy apples. We went to the produce section where we bought some red apples, green apples and yellow apples.
At home, while we were putting all the groceries away, I told Adam. “It’s time to answer your question.” I put one of each type of apples on the countertop: First a red apple, followed by a green apple and then a yellow apple. Then I looked at Adam, who was sitting on the other side of the counter.
“Adam, people are just like apples. They come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some of the apples have been bumped around and are bruised (碰伤). On the outside, they may not even look as delicious as the others. However, things are not always what they seem. As the saying goes, you can never judge a book by its cover.” As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully.
“Now, just look at me and follow my instructions, and I’ll demonstrate something interesting to you,” I told Adam, who looked at me with a curious look in his eyes. Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮) them, placing them back on the countertop, but in a different place.

It not only showcases the charm and uniqueness of Chinese culture but also promotes the development of domestic brands.

Then, I asked Adam which was the red apple, the green one and the yellow one. Staring at the three apples in confusion, Adam said, “I can’t tell. They all look the same now.” “Now you know how ridiculous it is to focus on the outside appearance alone,” I told Adam. Meanwhile, I intended to help him realize the importance of the inner quality of things. So I instructed him to take a bite of each one to see if that helped him figure out which one was which.
He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are just like apples! They are all different, but once you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.” “Right,” I agreed. “Just like how everyone has their own personality but is still basically the same. So don’t judge people by their outward appearance.” He totally got it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s also true that a perfect example is worth a thousand words. (155词)

Recent years have seen the rise of the guochao/China-chic trend in China. If you look around your city, you may spot young women wearing han fu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets.
There is no doubt that the guochao/China-Chic trend reflects people’s positive attitude toward China’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture. It not only showcases the charm and uniqueness of Chinese culture but also promotes the development of domestic brands.
As our country becomes stronger and stronger, I’m sure the value of Chinese culture will be appreciated by more people and the guochao/China-Chic trend will have a global influence. (110词)
七、续写
参考范文：
Then, I asked Adam which was the red apple, the green one and the yellow one. Staring at the three apples in confusion, Adam said, “I can’t tell. They all look the same now.” “Now you know how ridiculous it is to focus on the outside appearance alone,” I told Adam. Meanwhile, I intended to help him realize the importance of the inner quality of things. So I instructed him to take a bite of each one to see if that helped him figure out which one was which.
He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are just like apples! They are all different, but once you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.” “Right,” I agreed. “Just like how everyone has their own personality but is still basically the same. So don’t judge people by their outward appearance.” He totally got it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s also true that a perfect example is worth a thousand words. (155词)

M: When I was younger, I used to do a lot of sport. I belonged to a club and we’d go all over the place to do competitions.
W: Really Did your parents use to take you
M: No. I’d usually just go with people from the club. And I used to go and play football in the park with my friends or cycle a really long way. Did you use to do much sport
W: We used to go swimming as a family sometimes and we did a bit of gymnastics at school, which I hated. But I actually think it’s better for girls now. They’d basically force us to do “girls” sports when I was younger, but now girls are free to do all kinds of things—football, rugby and so on. I think it’s great.

M: Hello everyone! As you all know, every year the student union organizes a trip for the senior class. This year is no different! Our first major decision was to choose when we would go. Even though I know quite a few of you suggested taking the trip in the spring, we decided that a winter trip would be best. The reason is that we were worried that a spring trip would compete with the end-of-year exam period. It is important that we all do well on the exams. Those of you that would like to attend the trip must contact James Plymouth. He is the one responsible for trip bookings. Seats are limited, so it is wise not to wait until last minute. I am aware that last year many students were left out of their spring trip because they didn’t express interest early enough. For those of you that attend, a form must be signed by a parent. Also, concerning accommodation, you can decide among yourselves who you want to stay with and whether you prefer a single or double room. I think that just about covers it. Hope we have a great time!
