（2024高二下·武汉期中） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Ausie Perine is not a typical superhero. Well, maybe he looks the part, with his signature cape (斗篷) flapping against his blue shirt. But two things set this caped fighter apart: His enemy is not an imaginary one from a comic book but hunger and homelessness. Also, he's only four years old.
Our hero's story started in the family living room. Ausie and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program on Animal Planet about a mother tiger leaving her cubs. "I told him that the cubs would be homeless," TJ says. "Ausie didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more."
Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Ausie to a local shelter, where they saw some homeless men. "Dad, they look sad," Ausie said. "Can we take them some food and smiles " That day, Ausie used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich. When they returned the next week, Ausie again dipped into his piggy bank to buy sandwiches, which he handed out along with his new catchphrase, "Don't forget love!"
Days later, word of Ausie's acts of kindness spread through social media. A local food chain jumped aboard, agreeing to donate $10,000 toward the cause. Soon, donations poured in continuously. Thanks to the collective support, now he can feed about 800 people at once.
But Ausie isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those he meets. In the shelter, Ausie talked to a man named Raymont with respect, which touched him deeply. He shared with TJ just how grateful he was to be treated so considerately by a young stranger. With the help of TJ, Raymont obtained a driver's license, with which he found a job. All that was made possible because a little boy took the time to care.
Ausie's passion has now become his family's calling. They established the Show Love Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to offering medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness. Young Ausie continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. "It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."
24．What can we learn about Ausie from paragraph 1 and 2
A．He is fond of animal programs.
B．He is nothing special as a fighter.
C．He felt upset about the homeless cubs.
D．He has imaginary enemies from books.
25．What action of Ausie's impressed Raymont most
A．Offering him a job. B．Giving him respect.
C．Donating food to him. D．Keeping encouraging him.
26．What word best describes Ausie
A．Sympathetic. B．Single-minded. C．Confident. D．Hardworking.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．A Loving Family.
B．The Show Love Foundation.
C．A Young Kid Helping Others.
D．A Caped Fighter against Homelessness.
（2024高二下·武汉期中） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
It is a truth universally acknowledged that statues of public figures are hated by everyone, except perhaps their creators and, hopefully, their subjects, if they're still alive to see them. Jane Austen—the author of Pride and Prejudice—will of course not be around when, or if, the statue in memory of her 250th birthday is built at Winchester Cathedral next year, but according to Jane Austen Society vice president Elizabeth Proudman, the author would not have approved of the proposal anyway. "She is known to have been a modest woman who avoided publicity."
Similar views were aired at a public meeting last week, in which local residents raised concerns that an Austen statue would lead to the "Disneyfication" of the sacred Cathedral. It is no disrespect to the statue's creator — Martin Jennings to say that it's difficult to imagine crowds of parents being woken up on the first day of the summer holidays by their screaming six-year-olds begging to be driven down the Cathedral to catch a glimpse of Austen in the bronze.
Winchester's is not the first wrangling over a celebrity sculpture in recent years: when the sculpture of Mary Wollstonecraft, the greatest feminist thinker of the 18th century, was on show, it was laughed at as a tiny misshapen woman. The bust (半身像) of footballing Cristiano Ronaldo was revealed at Madeira airport in 2017, which some commentators observed looked more like the former F1 star David Coulthard. To his credit, the bust's creator, Emanuel Santos, defended himself admirably, saying "Even Jesus did not please everyone."
When Auguste Rodin's ogreish (妖魔似的) Monument to Balzac went on display in Paris in 1898, it caused such dislike that it was rejected by the very group that had approved it in the first place. Yet by 1969 Kenneth Clark had declared it "the greatest piece of sculpture of the 19th century". And you can still see it standing in the most visible place in the Musée Rodin's gardens today. Perhaps there's a lesson in that for all the maligned (诽谤) sculptors around the world: just wait 70 odd years and things will blow over. Perhaps by the year 2095, Austen, Wollstonecraft and Ronaldo will be standing toe to toe, bringing glory to some greatly-admired galleries. Or, as someone wisely remarks, "time will explain."
28．Why did the local people worry about building the statue in the Cathedral
A．Because no one likes statues of public figures.
B．Because it may show disrespect for the creator.
C．Because Jane Austen didn't want to be exposed publicly.
D．Because it may turn the Cathedral into kids' pleasure ground.
29．What does the underlined word "wrangling" in paragraph 3 mean
A．Arguing. B．Avoiding. C．Justifying. D．Interrupting.
30．How does the third paragraph mainly develop
A．By listing statistics. B．By offering examples.
C．By giving a definition. D．By quoting someone's words.
31．What is the author's opinion about the statues of public figures
A．They are unworthy to be built.
B．They will possibly be popular in the future.
C．They will cause people's hate to the subjects.
D．They are bound to bring honor to noted galleries.
（2024高二下·武汉期中） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
On a chilly autumn morning in the Italian countryside near Larderello, Tuscany, the misty landscape reminded me why the area is nicknamed the Devil's Valley. The land here is a web of natural cracks in the rock that let a mix of steam and gases reach the surface.
Unlike the rolling hills and cypress-lined roads of other parts of Tuscany, the landscape here is covered with dozens of grey cooling towers puffing white vapors. The deafening roar of a turbine (涡轮机) at the Valle Secolo geothermal (地热的) plant breaks the quietness, but its violent spinning transforms steam rising from underground into energy for 150,000 families in the region. About 30% of Tuscany's electricity comes from this energy source. After producing electricity, the leftover steam heats water for nearby districts.
This underground energy has recently proved a vital resource. Italy greatly depended on Russian fossil fuels and in 2023 Italians bore the world's highest household electricity bills. Factories cut down production and households had to turn down their heaters. But residents of the Larderello area spent the winter in warm homes, thanks to the local geothermal plants working 24/7.
Bruno Della Vedova, president of the Italian Geothermal Union, hopes that in the future other Italian regions could benefit from such a resource, which is extremely important when the whole world looks to transition to renewable energy.
While countries like Iceland and Kenya are taking advantage of their geothermal resources, the industry's growth has made slow progress in Italy. High set-up costs and difficulties in extraction present significant barriers. And new plants often run into opposition from nearby communities over health concerns.
Italy sits on a geothermal sweet spot. Especially below Larderello, as Della Vedova says. A vast reservoir (储备) of steam and water is trapped between Earth's inner heat and a layer of clay-heavy rocks. High temperatures lead to the formation of steam directly inside the reservoir, providing a significant source of energy.
But while heat from Earth's core is practically endless, the water it heats within the planet are not. So Della Vedova says restoring underground water supplies and using them sustainably is critical for the future. "We can't take advantage of a geothermal resource at will," he says.
32．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The landscape in the countryside.
B．The introduction to a geothermal plant.
C．The application of geothermal energy in Tuscany.
D．The process of turning underground steam into heat.
33．Why has geothermal industry developed slowly in Italy
A．People near new plants object to it.
B．Geothermal plants cut down their production.
C．There is very little underground water and steam.
D．People use less electricity by turning down heaters.
34．What is Della Vedova's attitude to the prospect of geothermal energy
A．Unfavorable. B．Unclear. C．Optimistic. D．Cautious.
35．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Where does geothermal energy lead Italy
B．Is the heat from Earth's core really limitless
C．Can energy from underground help power Italy
D．How can geothermal energy be used scientifically
四、第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
（2024高二下·武汉期中） 阅读下面短文，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。
Living a fulfilling life is far less complicated than you think. 36． It takes time to heal the negative and grow the positive in its place. The following tips are highly recommended.
Say "Yes!" more often.
"Yes" is a key that opens up doors to things you may have never known. Don't define yourself by everything you think you know about. Take some risks! Say yes to opportunities when they come around! Life is a constant learning process where you will hopefully gain new perspectives. 37． .
Forgive easily and often.
38． But actually, there is a huge middle ground where pretty much everyone is. Let go of the mindset of good and bad. Instead, let people be the flawed creatures they are. Forgive yourself for not doing the right things, and then make better choices now that you know better.
Contribute to others' happiness.
A fulfilling life requires abandoning patterns of self-absorption and selfishness. 39． It means you lift your eyes above your own life and consider how to better the lives of others. As you see your words and actions contributing positively to others' lives, your life has a great deal of meaning.
40． .
You'll hardly feel fulfilled if your energy goes in only one direction—out. Just as you pour love into others, you must do the same to yourself. Take time to nurture your own self with passions, self-care, or goal-oriented activities. It doesn't have to be something grand or expensive. Taking a stroll in nature or curling up with a good book are excellent ways of experiencing personal happiness.
A. Set aside "me" time.
B. Interact more with others.
C. It's no easy thing to forgive others.
D. Instead, you should try to make others' day.
E. Don't cut yourself off from life by shaking your head.
F. The biggest obstacle people encounter is a lack of patience.
G. Many people look on others or themselves as either nice or evil.

When I was nine, I needed to earn some money, so I asked Mr. Miceli, the newspaper publisher in my Chicago neighborhood, about an after-school paper route. He agreed only if I had a bicycle. My dad bought me a used bike, but right after that he fell ill and couldn't teach me to ride. Mr. Miceli, however, merely asked to see the bike. So I walked to his garage, showed it to him and got the job.
At first, I filled my delivery bag with rolled papers over the handlebars and walked my bike down the sidewalks. But pushing a bike with a load of papers was awkward; after a few days I borrowed Mom's two-wheeled shopping cart.
It took me longer to make my deliveries by cart, but I didn't mind. I sent each paper to its proper destination. In rain or snow, I put Dad's old raincoat over the cart to keep the papers dry. I got to meet everyone in the neighborhood—working-class people of Italian, German or Polish origins who were always kind to me.
When Dad returned from the hospital, he was too weak to restart his original job. Now we needed every penny we could raise to pay bills, so we sold the bike. Mr. Miceli must have known I wasn't using a bike, but he said nothing about it to me.
On the Thursday evening before Christmas, I rang my first customer's doorbell. Even though the lights were on, nobody answered, so I went on to the next house. No answer, nor did anyone respond at the next family on my route, or the one after.
I was very worried; I hadn't got the money for newspaper delivery this week. And while it was almost Christmas, I never thought that everyone would be out shopping. So I was very happy when, going up the walkway to Mr. Gordon's house, I heard music and voices. I rang the bell.
注意：
1）续写词数应为150左右；
2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside.
Paragraph 2:
After walking the bicycle home, I opened those envelopes.

Ausie Perine is not a typical superhero. Well, maybe he looks the part, with his signature cape (斗篷) flapping against his blue shirt. But two things set this caped fighter apart: His enemy is not an imaginary one from a comic book but hunger and homelessness. Also, he's only four years old.
Our hero's story started in the family living room. Ausie and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program on Animal Planet about a mother tiger leaving her cubs. "I told him that the cubs would be homeless," TJ says. "Ausie didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more."
Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Ausie to a local shelter, where they saw some homeless men. "Dad, they look sad," Ausie said. "Can we take them some food and smiles " That day, Ausie used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich. When they returned the next week, Ausie again dipped into his piggy bank to buy sandwiches, which he handed out along with his new catchphrase, "Don't forget love!"
Days later, word of Ausie's acts of kindness spread through social media. A local food chain jumped aboard, agreeing to donate $10,000 toward the cause. Soon, donations poured in continuously. Thanks to the collective support, now he can feed about 800 people at once.
But Ausie isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those he meets. In the shelter, Ausie talked to a man named Raymont with respect, which touched him deeply. He shared with TJ just how grateful he was to be treated so considerately by a young stranger. With the help of TJ, Raymont obtained a driver's license, with which he found a job. All that was made possible because a little boy took the time to care.
Ausie's passion has now become his family's calling. They established the Show Love Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to offering medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness. Young Ausie continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. "It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."
24．What can we learn about Ausie from paragraph 1 and 2
A．He is fond of animal programs.
B．He is nothing special as a fighter.
C．He felt upset about the homeless cubs.
D．He has imaginary enemies from books.
25．What action of Ausie's impressed Raymont most
A．Offering him a job. B．Giving him respect.
C．Donating food to him. D．Keeping encouraging him.
26．What word best describes Ausie
A．Sympathetic. B．Single-minded. C．Confident. D．Hardworking.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．A Loving Family.
B．The Show Love Foundation.
C．A Young Kid Helping Others.
D．A Caped Fighter against Homelessness.
【答案】24．C

26．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话"Ausie didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more Aussie不知道无家可归意味着什么，但他很伤心，想知道更多"和第三段中Ausie给爸爸说的"Can we take them some food and smiles 我们能给他们带点食物和微笑吗"，可知Ausie富有同情心，故选A。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章主要介绍的是：Austin不理解无家可归意味着什么。爸爸带他去避难所，无家可归者的生活状态引起Austin的同情，他用自己的零用钱为他们买三明治，Austin的行为影响着无数人加入帮助流浪者的行列；结合第一段中"Ausie Perine is not a typical superhero. Well, maybe he looks the part, with his signature cape (斗篷) flapping against his blue shirt. But two things set this caped fighter apart: His enemy is not an imaginary one from a comic book but hunger and homelessness. Also, he's only four years old Aussie Perine不是一个典型的超级英雄。也许他看起来很像，他标志性的斗篷在蓝色衬衫上飘动。但有两件事让这位披着斗篷的斗士与众不同:他的敌人不是漫画书中想象出来的，而是饥饿和无家可归。而且，他只有四岁"，可知这与选项D"A Caped Fighter against Homelessness一个与无家可归作斗争的披风斗士"相符，故选D。

It is a truth universally acknowledged that statues of public figures are hated by everyone, except perhaps their creators and, hopefully, their subjects, if they're still alive to see them. Jane Austen—the author of Pride and Prejudice—will of course not be around when, or if, the statue in memory of her 250th birthday is built at Winchester Cathedral next year, but according to Jane Austen Society vice president Elizabeth Proudman, the author would not have approved of the proposal anyway. "She is known to have been a modest woman who avoided publicity."
Similar views were aired at a public meeting last week, in which local residents raised concerns that an Austen statue would lead to the "Disneyfication" of the sacred Cathedral. It is no disrespect to the statue's creator — Martin Jennings to say that it's difficult to imagine crowds of parents being woken up on the first day of the summer holidays by their screaming six-year-olds begging to be driven down the Cathedral to catch a glimpse of Austen in the bronze.
Winchester's is not the first wrangling over a celebrity sculpture in recent years: when the sculpture of Mary Wollstonecraft, the greatest feminist thinker of the 18th century, was on show, it was laughed at as a tiny misshapen woman. The bust (半身像) of footballing Cristiano Ronaldo was revealed at Madeira airport in 2017, which some commentators observed looked more like the former F1 star David Coulthard. To his credit, the bust's creator, Emanuel Santos, defended himself admirably, saying "Even Jesus did not please everyone."
When Auguste Rodin's ogreish (妖魔似的) Monument to Balzac went on display in Paris in 1898, it caused such dislike that it was rejected by the very group that had approved it in the first place. Yet by 1969 Kenneth Clark had declared it "the greatest piece of sculpture of the 19th century". And you can still see it standing in the most visible place in the Musée Rodin's gardens today. Perhaps there's a lesson in that for all the maligned (诽谤) sculptors around the world: just wait 70 odd years and things will blow over. Perhaps by the year 2095, Austen, Wollstonecraft and Ronaldo will be standing toe to toe, bringing glory to some greatly-admired galleries. Or, as someone wisely remarks, "time will explain."
28．Why did the local people worry about building the statue in the Cathedral
A．Because no one likes statues of public figures.
B．Because it may show disrespect for the creator.
C．Because Jane Austen didn't want to be exposed publicly.
D．Because it may turn the Cathedral into kids' pleasure ground.
29．What does the underlined word "wrangling" in paragraph 3 mean
A．Arguing. B．Avoiding. C．Justifying. D．Interrupting.
30．How does the third paragraph mainly develop
A．By listing statistics. B．By offering examples.
C．By giving a definition. D．By quoting someone's words.
31．What is the author's opinion about the statues of public figures
A．They are unworthy to be built.
B．They will possibly be popular in the future.
C．They will cause people's hate to the subjects.
D．They are bound to bring honor to noted galleries.

29．词义猜测题。根据划线词后的"when the sculpture of Mary Wollstonecraft, the greatest feminist thinker of the 18th century, was on show, it was laughed at as a tiny misshapen woman当18世纪最伟大的女权主义思想家玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特(Mary Wollstonecraft)的雕塑展出时，它被嘲笑为一个畸形的小女人"和"The bust (半身像) of footballing Cristiano Ronaldo was revealed at Madeira airport in 2017, which some commentators observed looked more like the former F1 star David Coulthard2017年，足球明星克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多的半身像在马德拉机场被曝光，一些评论员认为这尊半身像更像前F1明星大卫·库特哈德"，可知Mary Wollstonecraft和Cristiano Ronaldo的雕像都在人群中引起了争议，所以此处应是"温彻斯特的雕塑并不是近年来第一次围绕名人雕塑发生争执"，故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话"Winchester's is not the first wrangling over a celebrity sculpture in recent years温彻斯特的雕塑并不是近年来第一次围绕名人雕塑发生争执"和段落中列举的引起争议的Mary Wollstonecraft和Cristiano Ronaldo的雕像，可知本段主要是通过举例子的方式介绍了人们对名人雕塑的态度，故选B。
31．观点态度题。根据最后一段中" Perhaps there's a lesson in that for all the maligned (诽谤) sculptors around the world: just wait 70 odd years and things will blow over. Perhaps by the year 2095, Austen, Wollstonecraft and Ronaldo will be standing toe to toe, bringing glory to some greatly-admired galleries也许这对世界上所有被诽谤的雕塑家来说都是一个教训:只要等上70多年，事情就会过去。也许到2095年，奥斯汀、沃斯通克拉夫特和罗纳尔多将会站在一起，为一些备受推崇的画廊带来荣耀"，可知作者认为多年后这些现在备受争议的雕像可能在未来变得很受欢迎，故选B。
（2024高二下·武汉期中） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
On a chilly autumn morning in the Italian countryside near Larderello, Tuscany, the misty landscape reminded me why the area is nicknamed the Devil's Valley. The land here is a web of natural cracks in the rock that let a mix of steam and gases reach the surface.
Unlike the rolling hills and cypress-lined roads of other parts of Tuscany, the landscape here is covered with dozens of grey cooling towers puffing white vapors. The deafening roar of a turbine (涡轮机) at the Valle Secolo geothermal (地热的) plant breaks the quietness, but its violent spinning transforms steam rising from underground into energy for 150,000 families in the region. About 30% of Tuscany's electricity comes from this energy source. After producing electricity, the leftover steam heats water for nearby districts.
This underground energy has recently proved a vital resource. Italy greatly depended on Russian fossil fuels and in 2023 Italians bore the world's highest household electricity bills. Factories cut down production and households had to turn down their heaters. But residents of the Larderello area spent the winter in warm homes, thanks to the local geothermal plants working 24/7.
Bruno Della Vedova, president of the Italian Geothermal Union, hopes that in the future other Italian regions could benefit from such a resource, which is extremely important when the whole world looks to transition to renewable energy.
While countries like Iceland and Kenya are taking advantage of their geothermal resources, the industry's growth has made slow progress in Italy. High set-up costs and difficulties in extraction present significant barriers. And new plants often run into opposition from nearby communities over health concerns.
Italy sits on a geothermal sweet spot. Especially below Larderello, as Della Vedova says. A vast reservoir (储备) of steam and water is trapped between Earth's inner heat and a layer of clay-heavy rocks. High temperatures lead to the formation of steam directly inside the reservoir, providing a significant source of energy.
But while heat from Earth's core is practically endless, the water it heats within the planet are not. So Della Vedova says restoring underground water supplies and using them sustainably is critical for the future. "We can't take advantage of a geothermal resource at will," he says.
32．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The landscape in the countryside.
B．The introduction to a geothermal plant.
C．The application of geothermal energy in Tuscany.
D．The process of turning underground steam into heat.
33．Why has geothermal industry developed slowly in Italy
A．People near new plants object to it.
B．Geothermal plants cut down their production.
C．There is very little underground water and steam.
D．People use less electricity by turning down heaters.
34．What is Della Vedova's attitude to the prospect of geothermal energy
A．Unfavorable. B．Unclear. C．Optimistic. D．Cautious.
35．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Where does geothermal energy lead Italy
B．Is the heat from Earth's core really limitless
C．Can energy from underground help power Italy
D．How can geothermal energy be used scientifically
【答案】32．C

32．主旨大意题。根据本段中心句"Unlike the rolling hills and cypress-lined roads of other parts of Tuscany, the landscape here is covered with dozens of grey cooling towers puffing white vapors与托斯卡纳其他地区连绵起伏的丘陵和柏树林立的道路不同，这里的风景被几十座灰色的冷却塔覆盖，散发着白色的蒸汽"，可知本段主要介绍的是地热能在托斯卡纳的应用，故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段"While countries like Iceland and Kenya are taking advantage of their geothermal resources, the industry's growth has made slow progress in Italy. High set-up costs and difficulties in extraction present significant barriers. And new plants often run into opposition from nearby communities over health concerns冰岛和肯尼亚等国正在利用本国的地热资源，而意大利的地热产业发展却进展缓慢。高昂的安装成本和困难的开采构成了重大障碍。此外，新工厂经常因为健康问题遭到附近社区的反对"，可知地热能在意大利发展缓慢是因为当地人的反对，故选A。
34．观点态度题。根据最后一段"But while heat from Earth's core is practically endless, the water it heats within the planet are not. So Della Vedova says restoring underground water supplies and using them sustainably is critical for the future. "We can't take advantage of a geothermal resource at will," he says但是，虽然地核的热量实际上是无穷无尽的，但它在地球上加热的水却不是。因此，德拉·维多瓦表示，恢复地下水供应并可持续地利用它们对未来至关重要。"我们不能随意利用地热资源，"他说"，可知 Della Vedova对地热能的使用很谨慎，故选D。

Living a fulfilling life is far less complicated than you think. 36． It takes time to heal the negative and grow the positive in its place. The following tips are highly recommended.
Say "Yes!" more often.
"Yes" is a key that opens up doors to things you may have never known. Don't define yourself by everything you think you know about. Take some risks! Say yes to opportunities when they come around! Life is a constant learning process where you will hopefully gain new perspectives. 37． .
Forgive easily and often.
38． But actually, there is a huge middle ground where pretty much everyone is. Let go of the mindset of good and bad. Instead, let people be the flawed creatures they are. Forgive yourself for not doing the right things, and then make better choices now that you know better.
Contribute to others' happiness.
A fulfilling life requires abandoning patterns of self-absorption and selfishness. 39． It means you lift your eyes above your own life and consider how to better the lives of others. As you see your words and actions contributing positively to others' lives, your life has a great deal of meaning.
40． .
You'll hardly feel fulfilled if your energy goes in only one direction—out. Just as you pour love into others, you must do the same to yourself. Take time to nurture your own self with passions, self-care, or goal-oriented activities. It doesn't have to be something grand or expensive. Taking a stroll in nature or curling up with a good book are excellent ways of experiencing personal happiness.
A. Set aside "me" time.
B. Interact more with others.
C. It's no easy thing to forgive others.
D. Instead, you should try to make others' day.
E. Don't cut yourself off from life by shaking your head.

Let go of the mindset of good and bad但实际上，几乎每个人都有一个巨大的中间地带。放下好与坏的心态"中的"a huge middle ground"与选项G"Many people look on others or themselves as either nice or evil许多人认为别人或自己不是好就是坏"中的"either nice or evil"构成词义复现，且有转折连词But连接，说明要人不是非好即坏的，作者建议读者要学会原谅自己，故选G。
39．空格前的"A fulfilling life requires abandoning patterns of self-absorption and selfishness充实的人生需要摒弃自我专注和自私的模式"与选项D"Instead, you should try to make others' day相反，你应该试着让别人开心"由instead连接，两句话意义接近；空格后的"It means you lift your eyes above your own life and consider how to better the lives of others. As you see your words and actions contributing positively to others' lives, your life has a great deal of meaning它意味着你把目光从自己的生活中抬起，考虑如何改善他人的生活。当你看到你的言行对别人的生活有积极的贡献时，你的生活就有了很大的意义"，是对空格处的句子的解释，它们应是意义相同，所以选项D承上启下，故选D。
40．段落小标题位置。根据另外的三个段落小标题形式（都是祈使句），可将选项确定在选项A和选项B之间，相比较而言，选项A "Set aside ‘me' time"与段落中的"you must do the same to yourself你也必须这样对待自己"意思一致，故选A。

八、第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
67．（2024高二下·武汉期中） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was nine, I needed to earn some money, so I asked Mr. Miceli, the newspaper publisher in my Chicago neighborhood, about an after-school paper route. He agreed only if I had a bicycle. My dad bought me a used bike, but right after that he fell ill and couldn't teach me to ride. Mr. Miceli, however, merely asked to see the bike. So I walked to his garage, showed it to him and got the job.
At first, I filled my delivery bag with rolled papers over the handlebars and walked my bike down the sidewalks. But pushing a bike with a load of papers was awkward; after a few days I borrowed Mom's two-wheeled shopping cart.
It took me longer to make my deliveries by cart, but I didn't mind. I sent each paper to its proper destination. In rain or snow, I put Dad's old raincoat over the cart to keep the papers dry. I got to meet everyone in the neighborhood—working-class people of Italian, German or Polish origins who were always kind to me.
When Dad returned from the hospital, he was too weak to restart his original job. Now we needed every penny we could raise to pay bills, so we sold the bike. Mr. Miceli must have known I wasn't using a bike, but he said nothing about it to me.
On the Thursday evening before Christmas, I rang my first customer's doorbell. Even though the lights were on, nobody answered, so I went on to the next house. No answer, nor did anyone respond at the next family on my route, or the one after.
I was very worried; I hadn't got the money for newspaper delivery this week. And while it was almost Christmas, I never thought that everyone would be out shopping. So I was very happy when, going up the walkway to Mr. Gordon's house, I heard music and voices. I rang the bell.
注意：
1）续写词数应为150左右；
2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside.
Paragraph 2:
After walking the bicycle home, I opened those envelopes.
【答案】The door flew open , and Mr, Gordon dragged me inside. Jammed in his living room were all my neighbors, including Mr, Miceli, all of whom were greeting me enthusiastically with smiles and applause! In the center of the room, I saw a shiny new bicycle, a delicate bag packed with colorful envelopes on its handlebar. "A Christmas present for our best paperboy!" Mr. Gordon said. Sensing my confusion, he continued, "Thank you for your splendid work, We've all seen you in the rain and snow with that little shopping cart, so we suppose you ought to have a bicycle, " So deeply touched was I that I couldn't utter a single word but embrace my considerate neighbors.
After walking the bicycle home , I opened those envelopes, Inside, I found not only the money for the newspapers but also a few extra dollars, along with handwritten notes of encouraging words. My heart consumed with gratitude, tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the close bond I had formed with my neighbors. Their generosity and support made me feel like part of a big, caring family. That Christmas, despite the financial difficulties my family faced, was one of the most memorable and heartwarming experiences of my childhood. It taught me the true meaning of community and the power of coming together to help one another in times of need.
