One day after school, Sarah stopped Laura. She knew she had hurt Laura deeply with her insensitive comment, and she was determined to make things right. “Laura, I understand if you need more time to forgive me,” Sarah said, her voice gentle and apologetic. “But please know that I value our friendship more than anything else in this world. I’m here for you whenever you’re ready to talk.”
Touched by Sarah’s sincere words, Laura was hesitant. She still felt hurt and embarrassed by what happened, but deep down she knew that Sarah was truly sorry, and their friendship meant too much to her to let it go. “Sarah, I appreciate your apology, and I’m willing to try to move forward,” Laura said, her voice soft but firm. Over the next few weeks, Sarah and Laura worked hard to repair their friendship. Sarah learned a valuable lesson about the power of words and the importance of empathy and kindness. And Laura discovered that forgiveness is not a sign of weakness but a testament to the strength of the human spirit.

第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
We all remember the first adventure novel where for the first time our imaginations were lit by whispers of buried treasure, lost worlds, and faraway jungles. As Jane Eyre says: “It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.”
Luckily, here are some of the best adventure books, which might make the act of finding action easier for you! Click on the book name for detailed information.
Jaws by Peter Benchley
The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster movie — which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975. Jaws is the story of three men’s quest to kill a human-eating great white shark. It’s a high-stakes adventure on the sea, which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined.
Children of the Comet by Donald Moffitt
In the far future, a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living. But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets — and humans on starships — appear on the scene This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice.
Children of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle. Named Tarzan, the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts: the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans.
Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker
Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor. Robert T. Bakker, the author, expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period to bring a prehistoric Earth to life as Raptor Red struggles to survive in a dinosaur-eat-dinosaur world.
21．A fan of space exploration might be interested in _____________.

Enya Vegnere, 19, left Joshua Henry, 25, speechless when she used her own bank card to pay for his food at a drive-through. In a video posted online by Joshua, Enya was filmed paying for his meal after he phoned his mum to ask if she wanted anything from McDonald’s. In the video, Joshua can be heard asking the worker, “So you’re gonna pay for my meal ” Enya replied, “Yeah, for your care about your mum.”
Joshua didn’t expect to get a free meal, but it properly cheered him up after having a depressing day with the fact that he was at high risk of a job cut. Joshua got in touch later to express thanks. He said it made his week.
Enya, who has worked at McDonald’s since January, is paid 7.25 per hour but has spent more than 50 on random acts of kindness to customers in secret for months. She often pays for a coffee here or a burger there when she feels people would appreciate it. Her colleagues were unaware of her generous gestures, but they always go out of their way for customers. Thus, she loves her work and work team, where everyone goes above and beyond.
Some people do kind things with the expectation that they will get something back in return but that’s not Enya’s way. Her motto is “takers eat better but givers sleep better”. She doesn’t do it for recognition but thinks of it as nice things for people. Joshua had already paid forward the act of kindness. Later, he bought a meal for the person in front, who was also thankful and intended to pay it forward.
It is seldom known what someone is going through and what a kind gesture could do.
24．Why did Enya pay for Joshua’s meal
A．Because Joshua was considerate of his mum.
B．Because Enya was being filmed.
C．Because Joshua was polite to her.
D．Because Enya loved her job.
25．What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean
A．It helped him secure his job. B．It put smiles back on his face.
C．It was beyond his expectation. D．It was an important week.
26．Which of the following can best describe Enya
A．Warm-hearted and generous. B．Polite and humorous.
C．Selfless and intelligent. D．Kind and confident.
27．What can we learn from this text
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed. B．One should work down to earth.
C．Love has magic power. D．Actions speak louder than words.
C
From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are As you grow older, does your personality change
Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People always think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois.
That’s not to say that you’re a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science. Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term.
But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly, Roberts said. “It’s something that’s unnoticeable,” he added. You don’t feel it on that five-to-10-year time period, but in the long term, it becomes obvious. In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students — around 5% of all students in the country at that time. The students answered questions about everything from how they behaved in emotional situations to how well and effectively they got work done. Fifty years later, researchers tracked down 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers.
Some people might change less than others, but in general, the maturity (成熟) principle goes for everyone. That makes personality change even harder to realize in ourselves — how your personality compares with that of your peers doesn’t change as much as our overall change in personality, because everyone else is changing right along with you. “It has been proved that the self-control of a 30-year-old is higher than a 20-year-old,” Donnellan said. “At the same time, people who are more self-controlled at 18 are also possibly more self-controlled at age 30.”
28．What does the writer think of personality
A．It changes obviously from day to day.
B．It is fixed since you were born.
C．It works when we meet difficulties.
D．It is what makes you different from others.
29．What does the underlined word “stable” in paragraph 3 mean
A．not easily upset. B．not likely to change.
C．easy to change. D．difficult to destroy.
30．How does the writer support his idea
A．By providing research results. B．By stating arguments.
C．By explaining causes. D．By giving examples.
31．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Everyone Has a Unique Personality.
B．We Grow Older but Change Less.
C．Self-control Makes All the Difference.
D．Our Personality Changes as We Get Older.
D
What does an outdoor cat do all day A study of more than 900 house cats shows when they kill small birds and mammals, their influence is concentrated in a small area, having a bigger effect than wild predators (捕食性动物) do.
Roland Kays, a scientist at North Carolina State University and his colleagues collected GPS data from cats in six countries. “These cats are moving around their own backyard and a couple of their neighbors’ backyards, but most of them are not ranging very much further,” Kays said. “So initially I thought, ‘Oh, this is good news. They’re not going out into the nature preserves. ’ ”
Then Kays took how much wildlife cats kill in that small area into consideration. Some cats in the study were bringing home up to 11 dead birds a month, which doesn’t include what they ate or didn’t bring home.
“It actually ends up being a really high rate of predation,” Kays said. He calculates that cats can have 4 to 10 times the influence of a wild predator. Native predators, like jungle cats, also kill a lot of small animals, but their influence is spread out over a larger area. One study indicates that house cats kill billions of birds every year.
“The simplest thing to do is to keep your cat indoors,” Kays said.
For those who refuse to keep their cats inside, there are potential(潜在的) options. St. Lawrence University’s associate professor Susan Willson looked for one. She found a special brightly colored collar online.“The whole idea is that the bird will be able to visually see the cat creeping (爬行) up on it before the cat attacks it,” she said. Willson tested the collar on both her cat and dozens of others. It greatly reduced the number of birds the cats brought home.
“I’m not saying these collars can make a significant difference in the massive bird death that we’re seeing,” she said. “But what matters is that each individual bird that somebody finds in his backyard is not dead.”
32．Why does Kays say “this is good news” in Paragraph 2？
A．House cats won’t kill birds in a large area.
B．House cats are protected from wild predators.
C．House cats can be tracked by GPS.
D．House cats feel comfortable in their own backyard.
33．How do wild predators differ from house cats in terms of killing animals
A．They prefer to attack larger animals.
B．They kill less than house cats on a monthly basis.
C．They kill 4－10 times the number of house cats.
D．Their victims(受害者) are distributed in a bigger range.
34．What can we infer from the passage
A．Willson considers keeping her cat inside a good idea.
B．The colored collar can be a sign of potential danger to birds.
C．The only way to protect birds is to keep them indoors.
D．Birds can’t sense the danger when cats attack them.
35．Which word can best describe Willson’s attitude to using collars to save birds
A．Concerned. B．Positive.
C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.

Though it’s been around for roughly 5,000 years, yoga is more popular today than ever. The fact that you can practice it just about anywhere is a big reason. 36 That’s nearly 15 million more than the number of people who golf.
Westerners adopted yoga as a form of exercise, but at its roots, yoga is a way of life. As recorded in the Yoga Sutras, yoga is based on the idea that the mind, body and spirit are all one. The breath is said to carry a person’s life force. 37
In addition to reducing stress, yoga can improve posture and balance, strengthen bones and muscles,and keep your joints healthy. 38 For instance, downward-facing dog can relieve back pain, while plank pose is good for building a strong core (核心). For a quick break, the best choice is child pose. 39 You start out on your hands and knees and sit back, bringing your belly to the floor, with arms outstretched.
40 Globally, the industry is expected to produce $66 billion by 2027. More than 45,000 yoga studios dot the country. Despite the fact that all you really need is a mat, the average American yogi spends an estimated $62,640 over a lifetime on yoga classes and accessories.
A．Today, yoga is big business.
B．Different poses offer different benefits.
C．You have access to yoga whenever you like.
D．About 55 million Americans regularly hit the mat.
E．It is a gentle stretch that helps you rest and refocus.
F．Close your eyes, relax your body and take a deep breath.
G．Also, many experts believe that controlling the breath refreshes the body.

Sarah couldn’t really remember when she and Laura became best friends. But they had been really close. They had lunch together in the school cafeteria, they went to the same book club, and they even had parties in each other’s house several times. As a matter of fact, the two girls had quite different personalities. Sarah was always confident and straightforward. In comparison, Laura was a bit quiet, but she was definitely the sweetest person Sarah had known.
On the first day of the new semester, Sarah couldn’t wait to meet Laura and tell her everything about her summer vacation. However, the moment she saw Laura enter the classroom, she was surprised. What could have happened to Laura Why did she gain so much weight Sarah knew it would be inappropriate if she raised the questions but she couldn’t resist the curiosity. “Since we are best friends, she knows I don’t mean any harm,” she thought. Thus, she asked, “Why did you get so fat ”
The instant Sarah said it, she realized she had made a mistake. People standing by began to laugh and point. Poor Laura, apparently shocked and offended by the question, stood still, tears welling up in her eyes. When she came to herself, she ran out of the classroom.
The next few days was very hard for Sarah. Whenever she reached out to Laura, Laura would walk away on purpose or pretended that she hadn’t seen Sarah. At first, Sarah was truly sorry for hurting Laura’s feelings. But as she tried several times in vain to make up with Laura, Sarah became angry. “Enough is enough,” she thought. However, Sarah couldn’t help feeling regretful because deep down she knew it was her fault.
