“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. If we want to accomplish anything in life, let us remember that we should never give up.
Viennese-born composer Frederick Loewe, whom we remember for his musical scores that include My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot, was not always famous. He learned to play the piano with European great masters and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years.
But when he immigrated to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work. But he never forsook his dream. Instead, this tough man continued to play the piano and write music. During those years, he could not always make ends meet by playing the piano.
One day, bent over the keyboard, he heard nothing but the music that he played with inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was surprised to find that he had an audience—three men who were seated on the floor. They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano. Instead they dug into their pockets, took out all the money they had, placed it on the piano and walked out, empty-handed. Deeply touched by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it.
Whatever you do, try your best. If what you do is worth doing and if you believe that who you are is of value, then you cannot afford to be content with mediocrity(平庸). When you choose the path of excellence through this life, you will bring out the best in yourself and receive the best it can offer in return.
4. What is the function of Roosevelt’s words in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To show the benefits of dreams.
C. To praise Roosevelt’s wisdom. D. To attract readers’ attention to Roosevelt.
5. What does the underlined word “forsook” mean in paragraph 3
A. Strengthened. B. Pursued. C. Exceeded. D. Abandoned.
6. Why did the three men pay Frederick
A. They were supposed to do that.
B. They wanted to show their sympathy.
C. They were moved by his performance.
D. They wanted to make friends with him.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. It’s never too late to improve. D. Success belongs to the persevering.
C
There are many therapies (疗法) for depression, including medical treatment, psychotherapy and talk therapy. Having a range of treatment choices is good because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them. Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments. It’s called nature therapy. “Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression,” says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the link between nature and depression.
A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back, and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed. “It seems that, from our work, the restorative effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression,” says Marc Berman, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. That might be because they feel mentally exhausted and being in nature re-energizes them. However, Dr Berman has a strong warning. “We’re not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression,” he says, “Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves.”
However, Berman and others say, interactions with nature could serve as a very effective supplementary pared to adults with depression walking for 50 minutes in an urban setting, those who took a 50 minute walk in a natural setting were less depressed and had better memory skills.
Why does nature hold this special effect Berman says, “In a natural environment, we can choose to think or not, and this choice is believed to help us rest our brains. You can then pay attention later, when you need to.” He adds, “It gives people more ability to concentrate, which is a big problem for those with depression.” Nature provides an effective setting for resting our brains, unlike urban setting. Even in the most peaceful urban environment, you have to pay attention to such things as traffic and signal lights.
8. What can we learn about depression therapies from paragraph 1
A. They focus on physical activity.
B. They pay no attention to interactions.
C. They need to be tailored to different patients.
D. They mainly depend on natural environment.
9. What can be inferred from Dr Berman’s words in paragraph 2
A. Depression patients can cure themselves with nature.
B. Nature therapy has limitations in treating depression.
C. Traditional treatments can be replaced by nature therapy.
D. The most effective treatment for depression is nature therapy.
10. How does the author prove nature therapy’s effectiveness
A. By introducing a new concept. B. By making a comparison.
C. By presenting a personal story. D. By analyzing the cause of depression.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The reasons for the special effect of nature therapy.
B. The differences between urban and natural settings.
C The problems caused by urban environment to patients.
D. The importance of concentration for depression patients.
D
After a 293-million-mile journey, the NASA Perseverance rover (探测器) to Mars landed inside the Jezero Crater successfully on February 18th, 2021. The car-sized, six-wheeled rover, nicknamed Percy, is the US space agency’s biggest and most advanced explorer to date. Its primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microbial (微生物的) life on Mars.
Landing on Mars is extraordinarily tricky. The Red Planet’s gravitational (引力的) pull causes approaching spacecrafts to very high speeds, while its thin atmosphere — just one percent that of Earth’s — does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.
The scientists had to reduce Percy’s 12,000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph — in just six and a half minutes. The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees — any steeper, and the spacecraft would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the “seven minutes of terror”.
Upon attaining a manageable speed Percy briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing spot. Its complex map-reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the best location.
The NASA scientists will spend the next two months testing Percy’s scientific instruments. Once ready, the rover will begin to carry out its mission.
“Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made, but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof,” said Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division. “While we’ll learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well-equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples carry evidence that Mars once harbored life.”
12. What is extremely challenging for the rover to land successfully on Mars
A. Carrying out a long-distance journey to Mars.
B. Keeping a safe distance from other spacecrafts.
C. Adapting to the thin atmosphere on the Red Planet.
D. Lowering the speed and finding a precise landing angle.
13. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The area scanned by the rover. B. The perfect landing spot.
C The attained manageable speed. D. The complex map-reading system.
14. What can we learn about Percy
A. It’ll stay on Mars for two months.
B. It’ll start its mission after instrument tests.
C. It’s to tell if Mars once had life on its own.
D. It’s the most advanced explorer sent to Mars.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The difficulties of landing on Mars.
B. The possibility of finding life on Mars.
C. The mission and landing of Perseverance.
D. The advanced instruments on Perseverance.

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater. ____16____ Unfortunately, the economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.
____17____ Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people can earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills. ____18____ Digital media experts, photographers and advertising agents are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or independent contractors.
A successful arts neighborhood creates a series of effects throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. ____19____
Arts contribute to cultural development and economic growth. Artists and audience are all from diverse backgrounds. When they gather together, they will share their experiences and renew their energy. As a result, cultures find the way to exchange, and economy can be advanced. It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are that you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. ____20____
A. Another group is needed to help market the event.
B. The arts create jobs that help develop the economy.
C. The arts boost the career development throughout a community.
D. So above analysis in mind, you needn’t have an alternative plan.
E. In fact, arts groups bring us broader value, especially in economy.
F. Culture binds together not only hearts and souls, but the entire society.
G. And some jazz lovers nearby will pay for tickets and transport fares.

I remember an inspiring conversation with my lighthearted cousin about detective stories when in fourth grade. Encouraged, I began ____21____ writing one. ____22____ long, I had finished my first short story. Writing gradually became a beloved hobby, but as I grew older, the ____23____ began to fade. I started reading more books, encountering critiques online, and comparing my work to others. Self-doubt ____24____, and what once felt like a creative outlet became a source of ____25____. I felt I had to be “good” at writing to share it.
Such ____26____ happens often. Hobbies start as a way to relax ourselves. Yet, over time, societal pressures to become ____27____ can change how we view them. Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or any other pursuits, we would be ____28____ to perform at a high level. When we don’t meet that standard, the joy fades, replaced by a sense of incompetence.
For years, I’ve kept writing as a hobby. I’ve taken creative writing classes and greatly ____29____, but the constant desire for perfection turns writing into a _____30_____. I’ve realized that this mindset _____31_____ me of the joy I once found in it.
We need to recognize that it’s okay to not be great at something, which shouldn’t _____32_____ us from enjoying it. Perfection is often _____33_____ and we’re our own greatest critics. The challenge, then, is finding _____34_____ between enjoyment and overwork. _____35_____ imperfection, and enjoy the process, even if you’re not “great” at it.

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。
My heart raced as I stared at the broken string on my guitar. The old instrument lay on my bed, its wooden body shining in the soft afternoon light. But I couldn’t focus on its beauty. All I could think about was how Grandpa would react when he found out.
The guitar wasn’t just any instrument; it was a precious gift from Grandpa, passed down to me on my sixteenth birthday. He had played it for decades, filling our home with warm melodies (旋律). When he handed it to me, he said, “This guitar has been with me through ups and downs. Now it’s your turn to make memories with it.” I was so excited.
I was a member in a band at school, and the guitar quickly became my most treasured possession. However, during our last practice, things had gone terribly wrong. I had played too hard during a fast-paced song, and the old strings couldn’t take it. One string broke, causing the bridge to lift slightly from the body. My friends had tried to comfort me, saying it was just an accident and that the guitar could be repaired. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I would let Grandpa down.
For the next few days, I felt anxious. I didn’t want to face Grandpa, knowing how much the guitar meant to him. But I couldn’t avoid it forever. Grandpa was coming to visit that weekend, and I wondered: should I confess (坦白) or try to hide the damage
The day of the visit came, and I felt like there was a heavy rock on my chest. Grandpa arrived, full of smiles and stories as usual. We spent the afternoon talking about everything except the guitar. My anxiety grew with each passing minute.
Finally, Grandpa advised, “Kid, why don’t you play something for me I’ve missed hearing you play.”
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。
I panicked, realizing that I truly had to make a decision.

46. Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua. Knowing that you are recruiting partime salesmen for the coming summer vacation, I am writing to apply for the post.
I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team. First of all, having learnt English since childhood, I am fluent in both Chinese and English, which is of great benefit to my communication with foreigners. Also of primary note is that I have been working at a local museum during holidays to help sell souvenirs, making me capable of helping customers to select what they like. Additionally, what will contribute to your service quality is that not only am I easy-going, but I’m always ready to help others.
I’m confident that I am qualified for this job. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
47. I panicked, realizing that I truly had to make a decision. For a moment, I considered lying and saying the guitar was in the shop for some adjustments. But looking into Grandpa’s kind eyes, I knew I couldn’t deceive him. With a deep breath, I walked over to the guitar, picked it up gently, and showed him the broken string and the lifted bridge. My voice trembled as I explained, “Grandpa, I’m so sorry. I accidentally broke it during a fast-paced song. I was playing too hard and the old strings couldn’t take it.” I droped my head, waiting for his disappointment and blame.
To my surprise, Grandpa didn’t blame me. Instead, he smiled warmly and patted me on the shoulder. “Accidents happen, kid,” he comforted me, “and this guitar is too old. What matters is that you’re using it to create music and memories, just like I hoped.” Then, he took the guitar and examined it carefully. “We can fix this together,” he suggested. That afternoon, we went to a local music store, bought new strings and glue, and spent hours repairing the guitar. As we worked side by side, I listened to more of his stories about the guitar, warmed by Grandpa’s love and the bond between us.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. If we want to accomplish anything in life, let us remember that we should never give up.
Viennese-born composer Frederick Loewe, whom we remember for his musical scores that include My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot, was not always famous. He learned to play the piano with European great masters and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years.
But when he immigrated to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work. But he never forsook his dream. Instead, this tough man continued to play the piano and write music. During those years, he could not always make ends meet by playing the piano.
One day, bent over the keyboard, he heard nothing but the music that he played with inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was surprised to find that he had an audience—three men who were seated on the floor. They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano. Instead they dug into their pockets, took out all the money they had, placed it on the piano and walked out, empty-handed. Deeply touched by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it.
Whatever you do, try your best. If what you do is worth doing and if you believe that who you are is of value, then you cannot afford to be content with mediocrity(平庸). When you choose the path of excellence through this life, you will bring out the best in yourself and receive the best it can offer in return.
4. What is the function of Roosevelt’s words in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To show the benefits of dreams.
C. To praise Roosevelt’s wisdom. D. To attract readers’ attention to Roosevelt.
5. What does the underlined word “forsook” mean in paragraph 3
A. Strengthened. B. Pursued. C. Exceeded. D. Abandoned.
6. Why did the three men pay Frederick
A. They were supposed to do that.
B. They wanted to show their sympathy.
C. They were moved by his performance.
D. They wanted to make friends with him.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. It’s never too late to improve. D. Success belongs to the persevering.
C
There are many therapies (疗法) for depression, including medical treatment, psychotherapy and talk therapy. Having a range of treatment choices is good because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them. Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments. It’s called nature therapy. “Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression,” says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the link between nature and depression.
A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back, and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed. “It seems that, from our work, the restorative effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression,” says Marc Berman, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. That might be because they feel mentally exhausted and being in nature re-energizes them. However, Dr Berman has a strong warning. “We’re not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression,” he says, “Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves.”
However, Berman and others say, interactions with nature could serve as a very effective supplementary pared to adults with depression walking for 50 minutes in an urban setting, those who took a 50 minute walk in a natural setting were less depressed and had better memory skills.
Why does nature hold this special effect Berman says, “In a natural environment, we can choose to think or not, and this choice is believed to help us rest our brains. You can then pay attention later, when you need to.” He adds, “It gives people more ability to concentrate, which is a big problem for those with depression.” Nature provides an effective setting for resting our brains, unlike urban setting. Even in the most peaceful urban environment, you have to pay attention to such things as traffic and signal lights.
8. What can we learn about depression therapies from paragraph 1
A. They focus on physical activity.
B. They pay no attention to interactions.
C. They need to be tailored to different patients.
D. They mainly depend on natural environment.
9. What can be inferred from Dr Berman’s words in paragraph 2
A. Depression patients can cure themselves with nature.
B. Nature therapy has limitations in treating depression.
C. Traditional treatments can be replaced by nature therapy.
D. The most effective treatment for depression is nature therapy.
10. How does the author prove nature therapy’s effectiveness
A. By introducing a new concept. B. By making a comparison.
C. By presenting a personal story. D. By analyzing the cause of depression.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The reasons for the special effect of nature therapy.
B. The differences between urban and natural settings.
C The problems caused by urban environment to patients.
D. The importance of concentration for depression patients.
D
After a 293-million-mile journey, the NASA Perseverance rover (探测器) to Mars landed inside the Jezero Crater successfully on February 18th, 2021. The car-sized, six-wheeled rover, nicknamed Percy, is the US space agency’s biggest and most advanced explorer to date. Its primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microbial (微生物的) life on Mars.
Landing on Mars is extraordinarily tricky. The Red Planet’s gravitational (引力的) pull causes approaching spacecrafts to very high speeds, while its thin atmosphere — just one percent that of Earth’s — does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.
The scientists had to reduce Percy’s 12,000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph — in just six and a half minutes. The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees — any steeper, and the spacecraft would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the “seven minutes of terror”.
Upon attaining a manageable speed Percy briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing spot. Its complex map-reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the best location.
The NASA scientists will spend the next two months testing Percy’s scientific instruments. Once ready, the rover will begin to carry out its mission.
“Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made, but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof,” said Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division. “While we’ll learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well-equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples carry evidence that Mars once harbored life.”
12. What is extremely challenging for the rover to land successfully on Mars
A. Carrying out a long-distance journey to Mars.
B. Keeping a safe distance from other spacecrafts.
C. Adapting to the thin atmosphere on the Red Planet.
D. Lowering the speed and finding a precise landing angle.
13. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The area scanned by the rover. B. The perfect landing spot.
C The attained manageable speed. D. The complex map-reading system.
14. What can we learn about Percy
A. It’ll stay on Mars for two months.
B. It’ll start its mission after instrument tests.
C. It’s to tell if Mars once had life on its own.
D. It’s the most advanced explorer sent to Mars.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The difficulties of landing on Mars.
B. The possibility of finding life on Mars.
C. The mission and landing of Perseverance.
D. The advanced instruments on Perseverance.

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater. ____16____ Unfortunately, the economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.
____17____ Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people can earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills. ____18____ Digital media experts, photographers and advertising agents are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or independent contractors.
A successful arts neighborhood creates a series of effects throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. ____19____
Arts contribute to cultural development and economic growth. Artists and audience are all from diverse backgrounds. When they gather together, they will share their experiences and renew their energy. As a result, cultures find the way to exchange, and economy can be advanced. It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are that you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. ____20____
A. Another group is needed to help market the event.
B. The arts create jobs that help develop the economy.
C. The arts boost the career development throughout a community.
D. So above analysis in mind, you needn’t have an alternative plan.
E. In fact, arts groups bring us broader value, especially in economy.
F. Culture binds together not only hearts and souls, but the entire society.
G. And some jazz lovers nearby will pay for tickets and transport fares.

My heart raced as I stared at the broken string on my guitar. The old instrument lay on my bed, its wooden body shining in the soft afternoon light. But I couldn’t focus on its beauty. All I could think about was how Grandpa would react when he found out.
The guitar wasn’t just any instrument; it was a precious gift from Grandpa, passed down to me on my sixteenth birthday. He had played it for decades, filling our home with warm melodies (旋律). When he handed it to me, he said, “This guitar has been with me through ups and downs. Now it’s your turn to make memories with it.” I was so excited.
I was a member in a band at school, and the guitar quickly became my most treasured possession. However, during our last practice, things had gone terribly wrong. I had played too hard during a fast-paced song, and the old strings couldn’t take it. One string broke, causing the bridge to lift slightly from the body. My friends had tried to comfort me, saying it was just an accident and that the guitar could be repaired. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I would let Grandpa down.
For the next few days, I felt anxious. I didn’t want to face Grandpa, knowing how much the guitar meant to him. But I couldn’t avoid it forever. Grandpa was coming to visit that weekend, and I wondered: should I confess (坦白) or try to hide the damage
The day of the visit came, and I felt like there was a heavy rock on my chest. Grandpa arrived, full of smiles and stories as usual. We spent the afternoon talking about everything except the guitar. My anxiety grew with each passing minute.
Finally, Grandpa advised, “Kid, why don’t you play something for me I’ve missed hearing you play.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

46. Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua. Knowing that you are recruiting partime salesmen for the coming summer vacation, I am writing to apply for the post.
I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team. First of all, having learnt English since childhood, I am fluent in both Chinese and English, which is of great benefit to my communication with foreigners. Also of primary note is that I have been working at a local museum during holidays to help sell souvenirs, making me capable of helping customers to select what they like. Additionally, what will contribute to your service quality is that not only am I easy-going, but I’m always ready to help others.
I’m confident that I am qualified for this job. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
47. I panicked, realizing that I truly had to make a decision. For a moment, I considered lying and saying the guitar was in the shop for some adjustments. But looking into Grandpa’s kind eyes, I knew I couldn’t deceive him. With a deep breath, I walked over to the guitar, picked it up gently, and showed him the broken string and the lifted bridge. My voice trembled as I explained, “Grandpa, I’m so sorry. I accidentally broke it during a fast-paced song. I was playing too hard and the old strings couldn’t take it.” I droped my head, waiting for his disappointment and blame.
To my surprise, Grandpa didn’t blame me. Instead, he smiled warmly and patted me on the shoulder. “Accidents happen, kid,” he comforted me, “and this guitar is too old. What matters is that you’re using it to create music and memories, just like I hoped.” Then, he took the guitar and examined it carefully. “We can fix this together,” he suggested. That afternoon, we went to a local music store, bought new strings and glue, and spent hours repairing the guitar. As we worked side by side, I listened to more of his stories about the guitar, warmed by Grandpa’s love and the bond between us.
