During the last few years of his life, my Dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny home that used to belong to my Nana. He had been a widower for over 20 years by then, losing my Mom when she was only 55 years old. His Mom, my Nana, had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone.
Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room or on the front porch, sip tea and talk. It wasn't anything major. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and occasionally enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn't anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my Dad. It allowed us to gently heal any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other the time and love we hadn’t before. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world.
I know too that when my own time in this world is done, when my own mission on Earth is finished, I will get to spend another afternoon with Dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love and wisdom we didn't get to share while we were here. And we will make that afternoon last an eternity (永恒).
If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons I spent with my Dad during the last years of his life, it is this: It is never too late to spent time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. It doesn’t matter if they are here or in the heaven because love conquers even death. Begin today then! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a gift of lifetime.

Sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) are common in western Australia, where they normally live in wooded areas. But as forests have been cut down, cockatoos have gotten used to living near people. Scientists report that people in Sydney, Australia are in a battle with these birds.
Last year, scientists at the Max Planck Institute reported that the cockatoos had learned how to open the covers of trash bins for food. That’s not an easy job. The cockatoos must lift the heavy cover with their beaks (喙) and then walk along, pushing the cover up until it falls over.
When scientists first began studying the cockatoos in 2018, only three areas in Sydney had cover-opening cockatoos. A year and a half later, cockatoos in 44 different areas knew the trick. This time the scientists decided to study further. They weren’t just studying cockatoos. They were also studying humans.
The scientists spent weeks studying more than 3,200 trash bins in four different areas of Sydney. They wanted to see how many bins were protected and what methods were used.
In one area, over half the bins were protected. The most common way of protecting the bins was to put a brick or some other heavy objects on the cover. Some people put things like rubber snakes on the top of their bins. The scientists discovered that the humans were teaching each other tricks, too. In most neighborhoods, many people used the same cockatoo -stopping methods as their neighbors.
The researchers say, “It’s like a race between humans and cockatoos to learn new ways of doing things. Now many cockatoos have learned how to push heavy items off the bins. As a result, humans have figured out ways to attach the items to the top of their bins.” The researchers describe the situation as a “human-wildlife conflict” “We expect these conflicts to become more common as humans take over more areas that used to be wild. We’d better understand the animals we share our lives with, and be patient with them,” they add.
8. What can we learn about sulphur-crested cockatoos from the text
A. They like copying humans’ behavior.
B. They are highly intelligent birds.
C. They are good at walking for long hours.
D. They are newly found in Australia.
9. What did the scientists find in their further research
A. How humans responded to the birds’ trick.
B. When the birds were able to win the battle.
C. Why the birds in more areas did the trick.
D. How the cockatoos learned to do the trick.
10. What do the researchers mean in the last paragraph
A. Humans have better ability to learn.
B The birds intended to make humans angry
C. There are different kinds of ways to open bins.
D. Humans should change their attitudes to wildlife.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. How to Help “Homeless” Cockatoos.
B. A Human-Land Conflict in Australia.
C. Cockatoos Caused Humans a Terrible Problem.
D. A Battle for Bins between Cockatoos and Humans.
D
Although I am 28 years old, the time when I feel profoundly 48 is when I get nostalgic (怀旧的) for days when people were able to go on holiday without being continually contacted, because the price of sending a text message was the same as a glass of wine. WhatsApp has changed that.
Unlike social media and email apps, which can be temporarily deleted, WhatsApp is the dominant method that we use to communicate with our loved ones. It is hard to switch off as a result of the constant flow of information. Deleting the app even while on holiday doesn’t feel like an option, when people use it to convey important information alongside everyday dross. And in any case, the problem isn’t the app itself, of course; it’s the fact that being available 24/7 means we have lost our sense of boundaries in terms of what to communicate and when.
“Just don’t reply. What’s the big deal ” said a friend. Easier said than done! Trying to create those boundaries can make you feel like a terrible person. It’s not just about self-imposed pressure, but the subtext (潜台词) of what not replying says. Previously you could blame your silence on high phone network rates or a poor signal, but now a non-response suggests you don’t care.
I have tried a number of tactics to give myself space while on vacation. I turned off read receipts because being visibly online felt very exposing. Turning off notifications came shortly afterwards. On a trip to Greece, I trialed a voice notes and video notes ban. Recently I’ve even gently talked to friends about not sending me non-urgent messages.
It doesn’t matter whether we are leaving the country or holidaying at home, this precious period of quiet may be the closest thing we have to a break. Although we are getting better at knowing how to prioritize rest, there is still a necessity for us to shape our environment to enable this. We also have to consider the role we play in helping our loved ones to recover and refresh.
12. What does the author actually miss
A. Traditional ways of communication. B. The price of text messages in the past.
C. Holidays without constant communication. D. Experiences of drinking wine with friends.
13. What does the underlined word “tactics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Suggestions. B. Notices. C. Reasons. D. Methods.
14. What is the subtext of not replying now according to the author
A. Too much self-generated pressure. B. The poor mobile signal in the area.
C. A sign of indifference or lack of concern. D. High mobile phone communication costs.
15. What does the author try to convey through this text
A. Be brave enough to say no to unreasonable requests.
B. We should have boundaries when messaging others.
C. It’s necessary for people to obey the social manners.
D. A suitable app makes a great difference to our break.

47. 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。
In the busy city of New York, a man named Alex spent nearly 30 years searching for his long-lost childhood best friend, Sam. Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared.
Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive.
One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together.
Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough.
The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years. She was excited to hear from Alex and immediately gave Alex Sam’s number.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Alex approached the park entrance a familiar figure came into view.

46. Dear fellow students,
I feel greatly honored to have a chance here to deliver a speech on English literature. Currently, most students in our school read little English literature, not only because they consider it too difficult, but also because they don’t think it necessary.
In my view, English literature is beneficial to us in various ways. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of English and have a taste of a different culture. Besides, it allows us to communicate with those great minds.
I appeal to every one of you to read more English literature and you won’t regret it!
That’s all. Thanks for listening!

With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone. The heart racing, he had no idea what to expect. What if Sam didn’t remember him Barely did he breathe until a voice—familiar yet different—answered, “Alex Is that really you ” Both choked up. Words seemed inadequate to express the years of longing and the joy of reconnection. By the end of the call, there was only one thing left to do: meet in person. They agreed to meet at the old neighbourhood park. As Alex hung up, a smile spread across his face.
When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view. Sam, running his hand through his brown thick curly hair, greeted him with a bright smile and stepped forward, arms wide open. They hugged tightly, laughing heartily as if no time at all had separated them. The two spent the entire day exchanging stories of the past and the present. Alex was touched to learn that Sam, too, had tried to find him over the years. They were picking up the story right where they left off. No matter how much time had changed, true friendship would never end.

During the last few years of his life, my Dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny home that used to belong to my Nana. He had been a widower for over 20 years by then, losing my Mom when she was only 55 years old. His Mom, my Nana, had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone.
Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room or on the front porch, sip tea and talk. It wasn't anything major. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and occasionally enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn't anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my Dad. It allowed us to gently heal any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other the time and love we hadn’t before. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world.
I know too that when my own time in this world is done, when my own mission on Earth is finished, I will get to spend another afternoon with Dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love and wisdom we didn't get to share while we were here. And we will make that afternoon last an eternity (永恒).
If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons I spent with my Dad during the last years of his life, it is this: It is never too late to spent time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. It doesn’t matter if they are here or in the heaven because love conquers even death. Begin today then! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a gift of lifetime.

Sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) are common in western Australia, where they normally live in wooded areas. But as forests have been cut down, cockatoos have gotten used to living near people. Scientists report that people in Sydney, Australia are in a battle with these birds.
Last year, scientists at the Max Planck Institute reported that the cockatoos had learned how to open the covers of trash bins for food. That’s not an easy job. The cockatoos must lift the heavy cover with their beaks (喙) and then walk along, pushing the cover up until it falls over.
When scientists first began studying the cockatoos in 2018, only three areas in Sydney had cover-opening cockatoos. A year and a half later, cockatoos in 44 different areas knew the trick. This time the scientists decided to study further. They weren’t just studying cockatoos. They were also studying humans.
The scientists spent weeks studying more than 3,200 trash bins in four different areas of Sydney. They wanted to see how many bins were protected and what methods were used.
In one area, over half the bins were protected. The most common way of protecting the bins was to put a brick or some other heavy objects on the cover. Some people put things like rubber snakes on the top of their bins. The scientists discovered that the humans were teaching each other tricks, too. In most neighborhoods, many people used the same cockatoo -stopping methods as their neighbors.
The researchers say, “It’s like a race between humans and cockatoos to learn new ways of doing things. Now many cockatoos have learned how to push heavy items off the bins. As a result, humans have figured out ways to attach the items to the top of their bins.” The researchers describe the situation as a “human-wildlife conflict” “We expect these conflicts to become more common as humans take over more areas that used to be wild. We’d better understand the animals we share our lives with, and be patient with them,” they add.
8. What can we learn about sulphur-crested cockatoos from the text
A. They like copying humans’ behavior.
B. They are highly intelligent birds.
C. They are good at walking for long hours.
D. They are newly found in Australia.
9. What did the scientists find in their further research
A. How humans responded to the birds’ trick.
B. When the birds were able to win the battle.
C. Why the birds in more areas did the trick.
D. How the cockatoos learned to do the trick.
10. What do the researchers mean in the last paragraph
A. Humans have better ability to learn.
B The birds intended to make humans angry
C. There are different kinds of ways to open bins.
D. Humans should change their attitudes to wildlife.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. How to Help “Homeless” Cockatoos.
B. A Human-Land Conflict in Australia.
C. Cockatoos Caused Humans a Terrible Problem.
D. A Battle for Bins between Cockatoos and Humans.
D
Although I am 28 years old, the time when I feel profoundly 48 is when I get nostalgic (怀旧的) for days when people were able to go on holiday without being continually contacted, because the price of sending a text message was the same as a glass of wine. WhatsApp has changed that.
Unlike social media and email apps, which can be temporarily deleted, WhatsApp is the dominant method that we use to communicate with our loved ones. It is hard to switch off as a result of the constant flow of information. Deleting the app even while on holiday doesn’t feel like an option, when people use it to convey important information alongside everyday dross. And in any case, the problem isn’t the app itself, of course; it’s the fact that being available 24/7 means we have lost our sense of boundaries in terms of what to communicate and when.
“Just don’t reply. What’s the big deal ” said a friend. Easier said than done! Trying to create those boundaries can make you feel like a terrible person. It’s not just about self-imposed pressure, but the subtext (潜台词) of what not replying says. Previously you could blame your silence on high phone network rates or a poor signal, but now a non-response suggests you don’t care.
I have tried a number of tactics to give myself space while on vacation. I turned off read receipts because being visibly online felt very exposing. Turning off notifications came shortly afterwards. On a trip to Greece, I trialed a voice notes and video notes ban. Recently I’ve even gently talked to friends about not sending me non-urgent messages.
It doesn’t matter whether we are leaving the country or holidaying at home, this precious period of quiet may be the closest thing we have to a break. Although we are getting better at knowing how to prioritize rest, there is still a necessity for us to shape our environment to enable this. We also have to consider the role we play in helping our loved ones to recover and refresh.
12. What does the author actually miss
A. Traditional ways of communication. B. The price of text messages in the past.
C. Holidays without constant communication. D. Experiences of drinking wine with friends.
13. What does the underlined word “tactics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Suggestions. B. Notices. C. Reasons. D. Methods.
14. What is the subtext of not replying now according to the author
A. Too much self-generated pressure. B. The poor mobile signal in the area.
C. A sign of indifference or lack of concern. D. High mobile phone communication costs.
15. What does the author try to convey through this text
A. Be brave enough to say no to unreasonable requests.
B. We should have boundaries when messaging others.
C. It’s necessary for people to obey the social manners.
D. A suitable app makes a great difference to our break.

47. 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。
In the busy city of New York, a man named Alex spent nearly 30 years searching for his long-lost childhood best friend, Sam. Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared.
Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive.
One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together.
Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough.
The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years. She was excited to hear from Alex and immediately gave Alex Sam’s number.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone.

46. Dear fellow students,
I feel greatly honored to have a chance here to deliver a speech on English literature. Currently, most students in our school read little English literature, not only because they consider it too difficult, but also because they don’t think it necessary.
In my view, English literature is beneficial to us in various ways. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of English and have a taste of a different culture. Besides, it allows us to communicate with those great minds.
I appeal to every one of you to read more English literature and you won’t regret it!
That’s all. Thanks for listening!

With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone. The heart racing, he had no idea what to expect. What if Sam didn’t remember him Barely did he breathe until a voice—familiar yet different—answered, “Alex Is that really you ” Both choked up. Words seemed inadequate to express the years of longing and the joy of reconnection. By the end of the call, there was only one thing left to do: meet in person. They agreed to meet at the old neighbourhood park. As Alex hung up, a smile spread across his face.
When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view. Sam, running his hand through his brown thick curly hair, greeted him with a bright smile and stepped forward, arms wide open. They hugged tightly, laughing heartily as if no time at all had separated them. The two spent the entire day exchanging stories of the past and the present. Alex was touched to learn that Sam, too, had tried to find him over the years. They were picking up the story right where they left off. No matter how much time had changed, true friendship would never end.
