A farmer, Isaiah Hofer in Manitoba, Canada, faced a big challenge earlier this year. With nearly 100,000 bags of surplus（多余的）potatoes, each weighing 100 pounds, Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. He was dysphoric and couldn’t think of a better way. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste.
Luckily, some public service organizations knew about his situation and came to help in time. The Farmlink Project was the first to offer help. It turned the potential（潜在的）waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since it was founded four years ago. It has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need across the United States and beyond.
Hofer’s difficult situation also caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. It quickly got in touch with Hofer and the Farmlink Project. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico.
Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project, took part in the event and saw the whole process. He said this was one of the largest donations（捐赠）the project has ever met.
Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back. “When you are blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared.
24. What does the underlined word “dysphoric” in the first paragraph mean
A. Curious. B. Amazed. C. Anxious. D. Confident.
25. How did public service organizations manage to deal with Hofer’s potatoes
A. By donating them to other countries. B. By providing money to give them out.
C. By selling them to other areas of the country. D. By transporting them to other organizations.
26. What does Hofer try to convey in the last paragraph
A. His decision to help others. B. His excitement and thanks.
C. His regret about the potatoes. D. His lesson learnt from the experience.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. A Poor Farmer B. Help Those in Need in Time
C. Manitoba Great Potato Rescue D. Ways to Deal with Waste Potatoes

ChatGPT, a smart Al chat-bot tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used Chat GPT to help with a homework task.
Developed by US company Open AI, Chat GPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create a food menu（食谱）, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.
Some schools in the US. Australia and France have banned（禁止）the use of Chat GPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using Chat GPT on the district’s networks and devices（设备）. CNN reported.
The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat（作弊）on study. Some also worry that Chat GPT could be used to spread wrong information.
“It does not build critical-thinking（批判性思维）and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic（学术的）and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education.
Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of Chat GPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones. The New York Times reported.
However, not all educators say “no” to Chat GPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting（起草）policies（政策）on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.
Bhaskar Vira, headmaster for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on Al software like Chat GPT are not wise. “We have to know that Al is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “adapt（调整）our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity（诚信）while recognizing the use of the tool”.
28. Do you know the reason why some schools in the US banned the use of Chat GPT
A. it probably takes the place of teachers B. students may use it to cheat on homework
C. it rarely provides the correct information D. it takes up most of the district’s networks
29. According to what Jenna Lyle said, may she agree with which statement
A. Chat GPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success
B. using Chat GPT is not good for developing students’ minds
C. Chat GPT is so far the smartest AI chat-bot tool
D. Chat GPT might offer the wrong information
30. Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the story
A. Using Chat GPT makes students lazy in thinking.
B. The complete ban on using Chat GPT is not wise.
C. Chat GPT will completely change present education.
D. Chat GPT may be used for both teachers and students.
31. Where is the passage probably from
A. Sports and Fitness B. Health and Diet C. Cultural Exchange D. Science and Education
D
Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health（IS Global）,an institution supported by “la Calxa,” involving four European cities-—Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.
The all-adult study gave 3,600 participants a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood— for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.
Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period.
The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed（暴露的）to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure—as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces.
The study’s coordinator（协调员）, Wilma Zijlema, wrote that the results “show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the meaning of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access（接触机会）to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of IS Global’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoors lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in. We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green school yards.”
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
32. What can we learn about the study according to Paragraph one
A. It was carried out only in four European cities.
B. It is supported by ail the adults who are physically healthy.
C. It indicates the more contact with nature, the happier one’s childhood will be.
D. It shows adulthood mental health could be related to childhood exposure to nature.
33. What do we know about the study
A. The participants were from all over the world.
B. The participants included both children and adults.
C. It focused on the participants’ physical health state.
D. It consisted of a questionnaire and a psychological test.
34. What do Paragraphs 5-6 mainly talk about
A. The process of the study. B. The method of the study.
C. The value of the study. D. The difficulties of the study.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title of the passage
A. Importance of Physical Health. B. Benefits of Natural Green Spaces.
C. Values of Psychological examinations. D. Problems of Europe’s Young Population.
第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a world ruled by hard exercise and complex fitness programs, the simple act of walking is often ignored（忽略）. 36 It offers physical and mental benefits that lead to total happiness.
Heart Health and Weight Management
Walking is light heart exercise that helps improve heart health by increasing blood circulation（循环）. 37 Besides, regular quick walking supports in weight management by burning calories and improving digestion（消化）, making it an excellent choice for those looking to throw away pounds or keep a healthy weight.
Pressure Drop and Clear Mind
Taking a relaxing walk or quick walk has been shown to give off endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” materials. This leads to lower pressure levels, improved feelings, and improved mental health. Walking outdoors in nature or in a peaceful environment can provide a refreshing escape from the daily tasks. 38
Joint（关节）Health and Free Movement
Unlike active sports, walking is soft on the joints, making it a perfect choice for people of all ages and fitness levels. 39 At the same time, it also raises the ability to move freely and easily. Walking regularly can be particularly beneficial to those recovering from pain or looking to prevent problems with joints.
Social Communication and Connection
40 Walking clubs, group climbs, or even simple walking with a friend or family member can provide an opportunity to connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories while at the same time bringing the physical benefits.
A. It helps oil joints and make them stronger.
B. It’s a cheap way to lead a healthier lifestyle.
C. So taking a walk can make your mind relaxed and fresh.
D. A quick walk after meals has been shown to benefit the stomach.
E. It cuts down the risk of heart disease and brings down blood pressure.
F. Walking is useful exercise that can easily be turned into a social activity.
G. However, walking remains one of the easiest and most useful forms of exercise.

第一节
【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经是一个追求完美的人，后来通过尝试绘画克服了完美主义情结，做出了自我改变，开始学会享受做事的过程。
41.C 根据上文中的“I always described myself as a perfectionist”可知，作者是一个完美主义者；再结合下文中的“I always did my best”可知，作者总是把事情做到最好。由此推断，作者对自己有一个很高的标准。故选C。rate 速度，比率； quality 质量；standard 标准； degree 程度。
42.B 根据下文“then I started to notice that I was a quitter, not a trier”可知，作者开始发现自己实际上是一个半途而废者而不是一个勤勤恳恳的人，这与上文中作者自认为是完美主义者之间是相违背的。由此推断，此处与上文之间存在转折关系。故选B。 meanwhile 与此同时；however 然而；thus 因此； besides 此外。
43.D 根据空前的 quitter 可知，作者容易放弃，因此此处指"我放弃了任何我不擅长的东西"。故选 D。 bring out 出版，生产；end up结束；get over 克服；give up 放弃。
44.C 根据空后的“no matter how small， I dropped that task or interest”可知，此处指无论错误多小，作者都会放弃那个任务或兴趣。故选 C。difference 差异； contribution 贡献； mistake 错误；decision 决定。
45.A 上文提到作者每当犯错时就会放弃任务或兴趣，空后“I wasn’t even trying anymore” 提到作者甚至因为害怕某些东西而不再尝试，空处与后句之间暗含因果关系，因此推断空处应指的是“失败”，即我太害怕失败了→所以甚至不再尝试。且下文“What if I failed ” 也提示作者害怕失败。故选 A。 failure 失败；danger 危险； harm 伤害； shame 羞耻。
46.D but 提示前句与后句之间是转折关系，后句提到作者从来都没有行动过，则前面应指作者想要尝试，因此空处应表示“想要”故选 D。 volunteer 自愿； agree 同意； manage 设法完成。
47.B 空前的 The idea 指前一句“What if I failed ”这个想法，根据空后的“it was easier to leave it as an unknown”可知，作者认为“如果我失败了呢 ”这一想法难以忍受，所以干脆不去尝试，把它当作一个未知的东西留在那里比较容易。因此此处指“难以忍受的”。故选 B。 unaffordable 支付不起的； unbearable 难以忍受的； unbelievable 难以置信的； unsuitable 不合适的。
48.C 上文提到作者容易放弃，且不愿尝试新东西，而空后的“I bought a tiny set of paints， some paper and brushes”指出作者在偶然发现的美术用品店买了一套颜料、一些纸和刷子，显然是还没来得及阻止自己就买了这些东西，准备尝试画画。故选 C。prevent 阻止； question 提问。
49.A 根据空后的“opened them up and started painting”可知，作者买了画画的工具后应是满怀期待地回到家开始作画。故选A。expectation期望；achievement 成就； belief 信仰； memory记忆。
50.根据上一句“And the results were really bad”可知，作者尝试绘画，但结果不尽如人意，因此作者感到很沮丧。故选 D。shocked 震惊的； light-hearted 轻松的； worried 担心的； low-spirited 意志消沉的。
51.B 根据 but 可知，此处前句与后句之间是转折关系，虽然作者仍旧不擅长画画，但是这次他的渴望没有减弱，因此此处指作者对于画画的"渴望"故选 B.thought 想法； eagerness 渴望；responsibility 责任；ability 能力。
52.C 根据空前的“I paint almost every day”可知，作者现在每天都画画，逐步建立起自己的艺术事业。故选 C。 bring up养育；sign up 报名； set up 建立；pick up 捡起。
53.A 根据转折词 but 及下文“Even better， I’m constantly（持续不断地） trying new subjects”可知，虽然经常失败，但是作者从未放弃。故选 A。
54.D 根据上文中的“Even better， I’m constantly（持续不断地） trying new subjects”可知，作者现在不仅不会轻言放弃，还会尝试新事物，这是几年前身为"完美主义者"的作者无法想象的经历。故选Doremove 除掉； prepare 准备； consider 考虑；imagine 想象0
55.B 根据“I’m simply enjoying the process” 可知，作者现在只是享受做事情的过程，不再追求完美。故选 B。 update 更新；seek 寻找，寻求； revise 修改； complete 完成。

第一节
Dear Jenny,
I’m so glad to receive your letter, where you showed/expressed your interest in my life at senior secondary school.
At the beginning, everything seemed fresh and exciting, but I found it difficult to learn some subjects, and I had to deal with/cope with more pressure. Fortunately, our school has offered a range of/a series of extra-curricular activities. And what interests me most are various elective courses. I will face many challenges and make more progress in the future. I am sure hard work will pay off.
Would you tell me something about your new semester I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

A farmer, Isaiah Hofer in Manitoba, Canada, faced a big challenge earlier this year. With nearly 100,000 bags of surplus（多余的）potatoes, each weighing 100 pounds, Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. He was dysphoric and couldn’t think of a better way. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste.
Luckily, some public service organizations knew about his situation and came to help in time. The Farmlink Project was the first to offer help. It turned the potential（潜在的）waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since it was founded four years ago. It has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need across the United States and beyond.
Hofer’s difficult situation also caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. It quickly got in touch with Hofer and the Farmlink Project. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico.
Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project, took part in the event and saw the whole process. He said this was one of the largest donations（捐赠）the project has ever met.
Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back. “When you are blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared.
24. What does the underlined word “dysphoric” in the first paragraph mean
A. Curious. B. Amazed. C. Anxious. D. Confident.
25. How did public service organizations manage to deal with Hofer’s potatoes
A. By donating them to other countries. B. By providing money to give them out.
C. By selling them to other areas of the country. D. By transporting them to other organizations.
26. What does Hofer try to convey in the last paragraph
A. His decision to help others. B. His excitement and thanks.
C. His regret about the potatoes. D. His lesson learnt from the experience.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. A Poor Farmer B. Help Those in Need in Time
C. Manitoba Great Potato Rescue D. Ways to Deal with Waste Potatoes

ChatGPT, a smart Al chat-bot tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used Chat GPT to help with a homework task.
Developed by US company Open AI, Chat GPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create a food menu（食谱）, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.
Some schools in the US. Australia and France have banned（禁止）the use of Chat GPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using Chat GPT on the district’s networks and devices（设备）. CNN reported.
The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat（作弊）on study. Some also worry that Chat GPT could be used to spread wrong information.
“It does not build critical-thinking（批判性思维）and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic（学术的）and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education.
Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of Chat GPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones. The New York Times reported.
However, not all educators say “no” to Chat GPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting（起草）policies（政策）on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.
Bhaskar Vira, headmaster for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on Al software like Chat GPT are not wise. “We have to know that Al is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “adapt（调整）our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity（诚信）while recognizing the use of the tool”.
28. Do you know the reason why some schools in the US banned the use of Chat GPT
A. it probably takes the place of teachers B. students may use it to cheat on homework
C. it rarely provides the correct information D. it takes up most of the district’s networks
29. According to what Jenna Lyle said, may she agree with which statement
A. Chat GPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success
B. using Chat GPT is not good for developing students’ minds
C. Chat GPT is so far the smartest AI chat-bot tool
D. Chat GPT might offer the wrong information
30. Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the story
A. Using Chat GPT makes students lazy in thinking.
B. The complete ban on using Chat GPT is not wise.
C. Chat GPT will completely change present education.
D. Chat GPT may be used for both teachers and students.
31. Where is the passage probably from
A. Sports and Fitness B. Health and Diet C. Cultural Exchange D. Science and Education
D
Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health（IS Global）,an institution supported by “la Calxa,” involving four European cities-—Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.
The all-adult study gave 3,600 participants a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood— for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.
Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period.
The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed（暴露的）to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure—as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces.
The study’s coordinator（协调员）, Wilma Zijlema, wrote that the results “show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the meaning of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access（接触机会）to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of IS Global’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoors lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in. We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green school yards.”
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
32. What can we learn about the study according to Paragraph one
A. It was carried out only in four European cities.
B. It is supported by ail the adults who are physically healthy.
C. It indicates the more contact with nature, the happier one’s childhood will be.
D. It shows adulthood mental health could be related to childhood exposure to nature.
33. What do we know about the study
A. The participants were from all over the world.
B. The participants included both children and adults.
C. It focused on the participants’ physical health state.
D. It consisted of a questionnaire and a psychological test.
34. What do Paragraphs 5-6 mainly talk about
A. The process of the study. B. The method of the study.
C. The value of the study. D. The difficulties of the study.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title of the passage
A. Importance of Physical Health. B. Benefits of Natural Green Spaces.
C. Values of Psychological examinations. D. Problems of Europe’s Young Population.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a world ruled by hard exercise and complex fitness programs, the simple act of walking is often ignored（忽略）. 36 It offers physical and mental benefits that lead to total happiness.
Heart Health and Weight Management
Walking is light heart exercise that helps improve heart health by increasing blood circulation（循环）. 37 Besides, regular quick walking supports in weight management by burning calories and improving digestion（消化）, making it an excellent choice for those looking to throw away pounds or keep a healthy weight.
Pressure Drop and Clear Mind
Taking a relaxing walk or quick walk has been shown to give off endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” materials. This leads to lower pressure levels, improved feelings, and improved mental health. Walking outdoors in nature or in a peaceful environment can provide a refreshing escape from the daily tasks. 38
Joint（关节）Health and Free Movement
Unlike active sports, walking is soft on the joints, making it a perfect choice for people of all ages and fitness levels. 39 At the same time, it also raises the ability to move freely and easily. Walking regularly can be particularly beneficial to those recovering from pain or looking to prevent problems with joints.
Social Communication and Connection
40 Walking clubs, group climbs, or even simple walking with a friend or family member can provide an opportunity to connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories while at the same time bringing the physical benefits.
A. It helps oil joints and make them stronger.
B. It’s a cheap way to lead a healthier lifestyle.
C. So taking a walk can make your mind relaxed and fresh.
D. A quick walk after meals has been shown to benefit the stomach.
E. It cuts down the risk of heart disease and brings down blood pressure.

M: Hi, Ella. This is Henry. Since you’re not at home today, I’ll just leave you a message. Last week you told me you were looking for a babysitting job. I have some good news for you. The couple Mr. and Mrs. Smith living near my house are looking for a babysitter now. They’re both cooks and they have to work at night. Neither of them can take care of their one-year-old baby girl. She’s really lovely. I’m sure you’ll love the little girl. If you do the work, you only need to take care of her and play with her from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. Since you’ve looked after babies before, I’m sure you can do the job well. The couple say they can pay 20 dollars an hour. If you’re interested in it, please call me back. I’ll introduce you to them. Believe me, they are very easy to get along with. I’m sure you’ll like the family. That’s all. Bye.

第一节
【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经是一个追求完美的人，后来通过尝试绘画克服了完美主义情结，做出了自我改变，开始学会享受做事的过程。
41.C 根据上文中的“I always described myself as a perfectionist”可知，作者是一个完美主义者；再结合下文中的“I always did my best”可知，作者总是把事情做到最好。由此推断，作者对自己有一个很高的标准。故选C。rate 速度，比率； quality 质量；standard 标准； degree 程度。
42.B 根据下文“then I started to notice that I was a quitter, not a trier”可知，作者开始发现自己实际上是一个半途而废者而不是一个勤勤恳恳的人，这与上文中作者自认为是完美主义者之间是相违背的。由此推断，此处与上文之间存在转折关系。故选B。 meanwhile 与此同时；however 然而；thus 因此； besides 此外。
43.D 根据空前的 quitter 可知，作者容易放弃，因此此处指"我放弃了任何我不擅长的东西"。故选 D。 bring out 出版，生产；end up结束；get over 克服；give up 放弃。
44.C 根据空后的“no matter how small， I dropped that task or interest”可知，此处指无论错误多小，作者都会放弃那个任务或兴趣。故选 C。difference 差异； contribution 贡献； mistake 错误；decision 决定。
45.A 上文提到作者每当犯错时就会放弃任务或兴趣，空后“I wasn’t even trying anymore” 提到作者甚至因为害怕某些东西而不再尝试，空处与后句之间暗含因果关系，因此推断空处应指的是“失败”，即我太害怕失败了→所以甚至不再尝试。且下文“What if I failed ” 也提示作者害怕失败。故选 A。 failure 失败；danger 危险； harm 伤害； shame 羞耻。
46.D but 提示前句与后句之间是转折关系，后句提到作者从来都没有行动过，则前面应指作者想要尝试，因此空处应表示“想要”故选 D。 volunteer 自愿； agree 同意； manage 设法完成。
47.B 空前的 The idea 指前一句“What if I failed ”这个想法，根据空后的“it was easier to leave it as an unknown”可知，作者认为“如果我失败了呢 ”这一想法难以忍受，所以干脆不去尝试，把它当作一个未知的东西留在那里比较容易。因此此处指“难以忍受的”。故选 B。 unaffordable 支付不起的； unbearable 难以忍受的； unbelievable 难以置信的； unsuitable 不合适的。
48.C 上文提到作者容易放弃，且不愿尝试新东西，而空后的“I bought a tiny set of paints， some paper and brushes”指出作者在偶然发现的美术用品店买了一套颜料、一些纸和刷子，显然是还没来得及阻止自己就买了这些东西，准备尝试画画。故选 C。prevent 阻止； question 提问。
49.A 根据空后的“opened them up and started painting”可知，作者买了画画的工具后应是满怀期待地回到家开始作画。故选A。expectation期望；achievement 成就； belief 信仰； memory记忆。
50.根据上一句“And the results were really bad”可知，作者尝试绘画，但结果不尽如人意，因此作者感到很沮丧。故选 D。shocked 震惊的； light-hearted 轻松的； worried 担心的； low-spirited 意志消沉的。
51.B 根据 but 可知，此处前句与后句之间是转折关系，虽然作者仍旧不擅长画画，但是这次他的渴望没有减弱，因此此处指作者对于画画的"渴望"故选 B.thought 想法； eagerness 渴望；responsibility 责任；ability 能力。
52.C 根据空前的“I paint almost every day”可知，作者现在每天都画画，逐步建立起自己的艺术事业。故选 C。 bring up养育；sign up 报名； set up 建立；pick up 捡起。
53.A 根据转折词 but 及下文“Even better， I’m constantly（持续不断地） trying new subjects”可知，虽然经常失败，但是作者从未放弃。故选 A。
54.D 根据上文中的“Even better， I’m constantly（持续不断地） trying new subjects”可知，作者现在不仅不会轻言放弃，还会尝试新事物，这是几年前身为"完美主义者"的作者无法想象的经历。故选Doremove 除掉； prepare 准备； consider 考虑；imagine 想象0
55.B 根据“I’m simply enjoying the process” 可知，作者现在只是享受做事情的过程，不再追求完美。故选 B。 update 更新；seek 寻找，寻求； revise 修改； complete 完成。

第一节
Dear Jenny,
I’m so glad to receive your letter, where you showed/expressed your interest in my life at senior secondary school.
At the beginning, everything seemed fresh and exciting, but I found it difficult to learn some subjects, and I had to deal with/cope with more pressure. Fortunately, our school has offered a range of/a series of extra-curricular activities. And what interests me most are various elective courses. I will face many challenges and make more progress in the future. I am sure hard work will pay off.
Would you tell me something about your new semester I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
