High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers(同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that.
I've always enjoyed writing but didn't know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university.
When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement(补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with.
My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week(迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter.
I've now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn't be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It's perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you.
24. Why was the author at a loss after high school
A. She suffered from a lack of confidence. B. She fell behind her peers in performance.
C. She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D. She struggled to decide a future direction.
25. Which aspect of marketing attracted the author
A. Its business courses. B. Its exciting career opportunities.
C. Its stress on technical skills. D. Its courses related to writing.
26. What led the author to think about changing her major
A. The active encouragement from a friend. B. Reduced interest in communications.
C. The growing passion for marketing courses. D. Access to numerous new opportunities.
27. What does the author advise high school students to do
A. Think twice about major selection. B. Be open to changing academic paths.
C. Concentrate all their efforts on study. D. Engage in self-reflection consistently.

English is an excellent language to learn, whether it's for business, travel or personal reasons. Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English.
When you have time to speak, just try your best to practice. Don't wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English, so start speaking English today. You'll be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with you - you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them.
Even if you have a good knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary, native English speakers may find it's very difficult to understand if you don't work on your pronunciation. Correct, clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them.
The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence - this is the best way to keep it in mind. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time.
Another great way to add some more English conversation into your weekly practice is to sign up for a class of discussion group. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English. A class will teach you the correct way of speaking. Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of learning English, where the emphasis(重点) is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking “correct” English.
28. What is the best title of the text
A. Ways of improving your spoken English B. English is an excellent language to learn
C. English is useful for business and travels D. How to learn English grammar clearly
29. The writer suggested people start practicing when _______.
A. they feel comfortable B. they meet the surprising thing
C. they improve their language skills D. they have any time
30. What is the best way to improve the pronunciation
A. Just remember the grammar.
B. Make sure how words are read and copy them.
C. Try the best to remember the spelling of the words.
D. Speak English when you “feel more comfortable”.
31. We can learn from the passage that
A. it's not necessary to find a native English speaker with whom you can practice speaking English
B. native English speakers can understand you easily if you have a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary
C. using a new word or phrase in a sentence is the best way to memorize it
D. an English party is a good place where you can learn the correct way of speaking
D
People's voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls(低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you're a wildlife tourist, or a poacher(盗猎者), or whatever, you're all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are. ”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators(捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world's most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15, 000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological(生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
32. Why are some animals fearful of human beings
A. Human beings are the strongest.
B. Human beings make them out of water.
C. Human beings may have caused great damage.
D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
33. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park
A. There are many lions there. B. There are 21 waterholes there.
C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there. D. It is easy to record the local people's activities.
34. Which animal responded to human voices least
A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The advantages of human voices to animals.
B. The damaging impact of human presence.
C. The significant ecological results of human voices.
D. The impact and possible application of human voices.

I did my best to treat them just like everybody else, which they appreciated.
This went on for over a year, Every Sunday, they would come in their pretty dresses, sit in my section, order the same thing they always did, and not leave me a tip… until one day, they did.

第二节
56. 答案:heaviest
解析:考查形容词最高级。句意:在奥运会举重比赛中,运动员试图举起他们能举起的最重的重量。 “weight” 是名词,表示“重量”,前面需要形容词来修饰, “heavy” 是形容词,意为“重的”。
57. 答案:mainly
解析:考查副词。句意:奥运会举重比赛主要测试爆发力的极限。 “main” 是形容词,副词形式为 “mainly” ,用来修饰动词 “tests” ,表示“主要地”。
58. 答案:who/ that
解析:考查关系代词。句意:没有多少举重运动员真正喜欢比赛。 “who” 用来引导定语从句,修饰前面的 “weightlifters” 。
59. 答案:begins
解析:考查动词的第三人称单数形式。句意:如果最轻量级的运动员不成功,他/她可以稍后再试。 “begin” 是动词,这里需要用第三人称单数形式 “begins” ,因为主语 “the athlete with the lightest weight” 是单数。
60. 答案:a
解析:考查冠词。句意:每次比赛最多允许三次试举。 “a” 是不定冠词,用于修饰 “maximum”,表示“一个”。
61. 答案:It
解析:考查强调句型。句意:在21世纪初,女子比赛进入了专业环境。强调句型 It was…that…属于固定结构。
62. 答案:organized/ organised
解析:考查过去分词作定语。句意:为女子比赛创造了一个有组织的、专业的环境。 “organize” 是动词,过去分词形式为 “organized” ,用来修饰前面的名词 “environment” 。
63. 答案:skills
解析:考查名词复数。句意:然而,比赛前的力量训练技巧也被女性广泛且成功地使用。 “skill” 是名词,需要用复数形式 “skills” 来表示多种技能。
64. 答案:to improve
解析:考查不定式作目的状语。句意:许多最终参加奥运会举重比赛的运动员开始时只是为了提高肌肉状况和身体力量。 “improve” 是动词,这里需要用不定式 “to improve” 来表示目的。
65. 答案:between
解析:考查介词。句意:力量训练和比赛之间的分界线仍然不是很清楚。 “between” 表示“在……之间”。
第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文:
Dear Chris,
Knowing that you're interested in table tennis in China, I am writing to recommend the sport to you.
Table tennis is highly popular in China, enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. You can find table tennis tables in many places like parks, schools and residential areas. Deeply rooted in Chinese culture, it has been a national pastime for decades. I highly recommend table tennis for two reasons. For one thing, it's a social sport that not only brings people together but also strengthens bonds through friendly competition and teamwork. For another, it's easy to learn and doesn't require expensive equipment, making it accessible to everyone.
If you're looking for a fun and engaging sport that promotes fitness and social interaction, table tennis is a perfect choice.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文:
Of course, I asked what the celebration was. I mean, it was obvious this was a special occasion. The mother of the small girl smiled at me and said, “I just graduated from nursing school. We wanted to come see you one last time and say thank you for making our Sundays so special. It meant so much to us to come in here and be treated like everybody else, even though we could never order very much or leave you a tip.
The mother said they were moving to Dallas the next week. She said, “We won't becoming back. I got a job at Major Hospital, and we won't see you anymore. ” I smiled and wished them the best of luck, letting them know I'd miss them. They enjoyed the delicious food happily. When I picked up their check, they had left me a fifty-dollar tip, which was about 150% of their bill. From the story, I see: Don't worry about tips because you never know the customer’ s true story. Sometimes the memory is worth more than the money.

M: There are lots of parks all around the eastern part of the city. In the south you've got a beach, and there are many factories alongside the beach. The northern area is made up of wetlands. It's beautiful in one way, but it attracts many insects. So few people have any real wish to live in the neighborhoods there.
W: Can you show me some flats in western and southern areas
M: OK. Here are some photos. And I'll search for more information on the computer.

W: Good evening, this is Jane Lemming with your First Minute of the Hour News report. We've only got 60 seconds, so listen up! Green Hills Foods Company is pulling(取消)1. 5 million pounds of meat from grocery store shelves. About 20 people have gotten sick from eating the meat so far. If you've bought any chicken or beef from this company in the past month, throw it out immediately. Next on our list is a brief traffic report. All roads in the Santa Rosa area are clear, except for Highway 5, near the Main Street entrance. There is a traffic jam on the entrance because of the book fair this weekend. Speaking of the book fair, it starts tomorrow—that's Friday—at 5: 00 pm, and continues through Sunday at 8: 00 pm. For those of you from out of town, turn left on Main Street and go until you hit State Street. Take another left and continue for a mile. The fair grounds are on the right. That's all the news we have for the next59 minutes!
