On a spring day, Guinness World Records held a ceremony in Bournemouth to award local lifeguard Chris Lewis the title. Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset resort when he was 16. “It’s the best job in the world,” he said. “You’re working and helping people. What could be better ”
His colleagues were just half his age. But he is still fighting fit. Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguards must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25m pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim consecutively in under 50 seconds and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The tests are still reasonably comfortable for Lewis. All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month.
Lewis’s adventure began in 1965 when a police officer spotted that he was a keen swimmer and suggested he get his lifesaving badges. The following year he began volunteering as a lifeguard at the age of 16. Then he became part of the RNLI lifeguards in 2001 and began providing beach patrols for local authorities.
Now the RNLI patrols more than 240 beaches across the UK. Lewis laughed when asked if he had seen many changes. “The RNLI’s equipment in 2024 includes jetskis, rescue boats and quad bikes. When I started, we had a T-shirt, swimming trunks, a swimming hat, a coat if you were lucky and a rescue tube. It was really very different.”
His most memorable rescue took place in 2010 when three children got into trouble while swimming. There was a combination of wind and a lively spring tide. One of them was being hurled into a rock with severe cuts. The other two were being “knocked around” by the waves. Lewis swam out just with a rescue tube but managed to get all three back.
Over the years, he has performed hundreds of rescues. He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out rescues. “I would love to go through the whole of summer without having to rescue anybody.”
24. Why is the training of RNLI mentioned
A. To explain the importance of swimming skills.
B. To stress Lewis’s efforts and capacity.
C. To show demands of being a safeguard.
D. To describe the test process of fitness swimming
25. What made Lewis begin his life-saving career
A. His voluntary experience. B. His passion for swimming.
C. An invitation from RNLI. D. A police officer’s suggestion.
26. What can be inferred from Lewis’s words in Paragraph 4
A. RNLI cares for the safety of lifeguards. B. RNLI currently needs more lifeguards.
C. Lifeguard work was not easy in the past. D. The former lifeguards were more skilled.
27. Which of the following best describes Lewis
A. Devoted and caring. B. Selfless and honest.
C. Determined and humorous. D. Generous and ambitious.
C
Lighthouse parenting is a modern approach that is becoming increasingly popular among parents. This style, raised by Dr. Ken Ginsburg, stresses a balance between guiding children and allowing them to make their own decisions. The name comes from the idea that parents should be like a lighthouse — available to offer support and guidance when needed, but not constantly intervening in their children’s life.
Unlike helicopter parenting, which focuses on controlling and protecting the child from every possible mistake, lighthouse parenting not only provides love, guidance, and boundaries (边界), but also allows children to learn through their own experiences and mistakes. This approach helps children develop resilience (适应力) and problem-solving skills, making them better prepared for adulthood.
One of the key principles of lighthouse parenting is maintaining open communication with children. Parents are encouraged to engage in conversations with their children, listen to their concerns, and provide advice when necessary. This creates a favorable environment, where children feel confident and loved, knowing their parents are always there for them, but not controlling their every move.
The popularity of lighthouse parenting is growing because many parents are seeking a balanced approach to raising their children. There is an overwhelming amount of information available to parents today, and it can be difficult to know what to follow. Lighthouse parenting offers a practical solution, promoting a healthy, low-pressure environment for both parents and children.
Children raised in this style can become healthy, functional adults, as they were given the tools to be independent, to understand the world, and to be well-adjusted. They aren’t scared of making mistakes and also take responsibility for them. Their parents are also less burnt out, as they are able to take a step back and be there for their children more in the background.
With ongoing communication and love and support always there when needed, this parenting method seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to promoting a harmonious and enjoyable parent- child relationship. It is an environment where both children and parents can well develop and enjoy their relationship for years to come.
28. What do parents do in lighthouse parenting
A. They focus more on experiences than study.
B. They intervene in their children’s life when necessary.
C. They protect their children from every possible mistake.
D. They set strict boundaries of amusements.
29. What makes lighthouse parenting increasingly popular
A. Parents’ desire for a balance in raising children.
B. The limited access to parenting information.
C. The stress faced with children.
D. Parents’ expectation of raising a perfect child.
30. What can we know about children raised in lighthouse parenting
A. They will fit in easily. B. They will perform well academically.
C. They show great curiosity about the outer world. D. They tend to be especially popular.
31. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. The Importance of Balanced Parenting
B. The Disadvantages of Helicopter Parenting
C. How to Raise Independent and Resilient Children
D. The Benefits of Lighthouse Parenting
D
Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past.
As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines.
Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”.
That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion.
When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life.
32. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with
A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life.
C. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D. Simplicity is outdated in modern times.
33. What was the primary reason for Thoreau’s withdrawing from city life
A. To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time.
B. To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece.
C. To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology.
D. To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose.
34. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text
A. Theoretical models. B. Popular beliefs.
C. Practical measures. D. Realistic analyses.
35. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To criticize the overuse of 21st-century modern technology.
B. To illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on simple living in the modern context.
C. To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles.
D. To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being.

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
His father said, “All set, boy ” and Jeremy nodded, picking up his gun with awkward gloved hands. His father pushed open the door and they went out into the freezing dawn together. Ordinarily Jeremy would take out his camera to record the scenery, but not this morning. This was the morning, particularly sacred, when 14-year-old Jeremy would go duck hunting for the first time.
However, he hated it, and had hated the whole idea since his father bought him a gun. But he was determined to go through with it. He loved his father, and wanted his approval more than anything in the world.
They came to a narrow and hidden place facing the bay. Jeremy sat down nervously and waited. To reduce fear, he took a picture of his father against the clean water. Then he put the camera hurriedly on the grass and picked up his gun.
Jeremy got his gun ready. “I'll let you shoot first,” his father said, loading his own gun. “You know, I've been waiting for a long time for this day. Just the two of us..."He broke off, bending forward, eyes narrowed. “There's a small flight heading this way now. Keep your head down. I'll give you the word.”
The sun came out. Jeremy could see everything clearly: his father's face, tense and eager; the white frost on the gun. His heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don't let them come, please!”
But they kept coming. "Four black,” his father said. “One mallard.” High above, Jeremy heard the pulsing whistle of wings as the flight began to circle. The mallard was leading, his feet dropping down, reaching for the silver-colored water. Closer, closer... “Get set,” his father whispered.
“Now!” cried Jeremy's father. “Take them!”
Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, holding the gun. In the same instant, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy's brain. But up went the mallard higher still, until suddenly he caught the full force of the wind and flew away, out of range.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1: His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn't you shoot ”

推理判断题。根据第二段中“Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguards must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25m pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim consecutively in under 50 seconds and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The tests are still reasonably comfortable for Lewis.

(2024年，RNLI的装备包括水上摩托、救生艇和四轮摩托车。当我开始的时候，我们只有一件T恤、游泳裤、游泳帽，如果你幸运的话还有一件外套和一个救生圈。这真的很不一样。)”可知，Lewis通过对比现在的装备和他开始时的装备，暗示了过去的救生工作并不容易，因为装备非常简陋。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了Thoreau提倡的简单生活理念，并将其与现代科技时代的生活进行对比，探讨了如何在科技驱动的世界中实现简单生活。
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. (许多人可能听说过Thoreau，尽管他的简朴思想听起来有些过时。)”和第三段“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. (Thoreau对生活中不断的喧嚣感到厌烦，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。他只带了生活必需品，并把这次冒险写成了他的书《Walden》。在《Walden》中，Thoreau基本上是在做一个哲学陈述。感谢（或不感谢）现代科技，我们没有过着深思熟虑或有意义的生活。我们创造了强大的机器，使生活更方便。不幸的是，这些机器起到了相反的作用。用他的话来说，“人类已经成为工具的工具”。)”可知，Thoreau提倡简单生活，并认为简单生活是有价值的，因此他可能会同意在科技驱动的世界中简单生活是有可能的这一观点。所以答案是C。
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. (Thoreau对生活中不断的喧嚣感到厌烦，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。他只带了生活必需品，并把这次冒险写成了他的书《Walden》。在《Walden》中，Thoreau基本上是在做一个哲学陈述。感谢（或不感谢）现代科技，我们没有过着深思熟虑或有意义的生活。)”可知，Thoreau从城市生活中撤退的主要原因是为了找到一个更安静的存在，以便进行更深层次的反思和追求目的。故选D。
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. (就我个人而言，我以两种方式做到这一点。首先，我在手机上使用很少的数据，并尽量减少手机上的应用程序。大多数时候，我只用手机打电话或发短信。其次，我退出了大多数社交媒体。当然，这两件事并不像梭罗躲进树林那样极端。然而，这些都是我可以朝着更有意义的生活迈出的现实的一步。)”可知，作者提到自己减少技术使用的两个实际措施：减少手机数据使用和退出大部分社交媒体。这些都是实际的措施。故选C。
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. (许多人可能听说过Thoreau，尽管他的简朴思想听起来有些过时。)”和倒数第二段中的“Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. (让我试着用几个21世纪的例子来更新梭罗的观点。)”、最后一段中的“Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. (就我个人而言，我以两种方式做到这一点。首先，我在手机上使用很少的数据，并尽量减少手机上的应用程序。大多数时候，我只用手机打电话或发短信。其次，我退出了大多数社交媒体。当然，这两件事并不像梭罗躲进树林那样极端。然而，这些都是我可以朝着更有意义的生活迈出的现实的一步。)”可知，文章通过介绍Thoreau的简单生活理念，并结合现代背景，说明了Thoreau的理念在现代社会中的应用。因此，文章的目的是在现代背景下阐述Thoreau关于简单生活的观点。故选B。

这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了中国的小年的习俗和庆祝活动以及它的重要性。
考查定语从句。句意:腊月二十三日被称为小年，从二十三日起，小年的节日气氛开始升温。分析句子可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为the Minor Festival，指代事物，在从句中做介词的宾语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
考查介词。句意:街上有越来越多的货排，摆满了各种各样的春节商品，吸引了人们的眼球:春联，年画、窗饰、剪纸、烟花等。(be)filled with“装满，充满”是固定搭配。故填with。
考查名词复数。句意:同上。根据前面的couplets和paintings，此处应用其名词的复数形式和前文并列，零冠词可数名词复数表泛指。故填decorations。
考查介词。句意:小年也被称为灶神节。固定搭配be known as“被称为…”符合句意。故填as
考查非谓语动词。句意:过去，灶神被放在炉子的旁边或上方，家家户户都很崇拜。此处为非谓语，动词place和它所修饰的名词Kitchen God之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语，故填placed.
考查动词的时态。句意:这一天，灶神要去和玉皇大帝报告他在人间目睹到的一切。主句用的是一般过去时，what引导的宾语从句中动作发生在主句动作之前，描述过去的过去，应用过去完成时。故填had witnessed
考查名词复数。句意:灶神被认为能够决定家庭的命运或不幸，使家庭富裕或贫穷，因此，家家户户非常注意尽可能祭拜灶神，并且在任何情况下都不会不尊重他。此处应用名词复数与后面的misfortunes并列作宾语，零冠词可数名词复数表泛指。故填fortunes。
考査形容词。句意:在献给灶神的祭品中，有一种是粘糖。作定语修饰名词sugar应用形容词。故填sticky
考查状语从句。句意:祭拜仪式结束后/当祭拜仪式结束时，会烧掉灶神的画，人们相信他是在放鞭炮的时候升天的。分析句子可知，空格处应用状语从句的引导词，由句意可知，此处指“当崇拜仪式结束后时”，应填连词after或when引导时间状语从句。句首字母大写，故填After/When，
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:同上。动词bum和句子主语之间是被动关系，根据下文people believed he went up to Heaven可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时的被动语态。主语the picture of Kitchen God为单数名词，主谓一致，故填was burned/was burnt。
