Passage 1(2024天津第一次,D) 主题 完善自我
　　Staring at the bookcases in my study, packed with so many great books that had remained unread, I heard a loud voice in my head—“Shame on you! How can you leave these masterpieces unread ”
　　The first book I picked up was Montaigne's Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白) what clearly was my own faded handwriting. So I was actually reading it again, but what I was rereading seemed entirely new. I also found sentences underlined. Only this time I wondered: Why did I underline this sentence It's the next one that is important!
　　Clearly, my way of reading the text had shifted, and I myself had changed over the years. This raised the larger question of rereading. It comes in many forms. There's voluntary rereading, the result of a willful decision to revisit a book one has admired, or a book that has left one with some unanswered questions. This kind of planned revisit could also be for confirming certain details in the text, or for checking on the moves of a given character. A devoted teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects.
　　Contrarily, there's involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading no longer corresponded to the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same reader.
　　Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that occur without the specific act of reading, much as the memory of a tune can keep coming back to the mind without its actually being heard again. This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition.
　　All of these ways of reading are valuable. Renewed contact with a novel or a poem can activate the search for a better knowledge of the self. The new reading, a form of revision, uncovers the change in us. The newness is not in the text. It is we who have evolved. In the process of rereading, our outlook has also been significantly changed. Rereading makes it possible for us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light.

A. He still couldn't understand it.　　　B. He had made notes in it.

Passage 2(2023天津第二次,A) 主题 大学生活
　　Welcome to UCLA Exchange Program! Let's get started by checking out Student Guide for your academic journey!
Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language)
ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills. Enrollment(课程注册) priority is given to degree students. If space is available, you may enroll. You will then be asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for you.
Changing Your Course Enrollment List
You may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change. Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list, as other students may have dropped it.
Withdrawing from Courses
If you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule. If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record.
Taking Exams
Some instructors choose to put previous test papers on library reserve, making them available to all students.

Passage 4(2022天津第二次,A) 主题 大学生活
　　Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates, and it comes with a lot of changes. For most students, it's the first time they're living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.
Goal setting
When setting goals, whether they're academic, career, or personal, remember they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller, more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.
Interpersonal skills
At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else's shoes, and enhance your self-confidence.
Studying
With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you're required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you'll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule.
Budgeting
Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don't forget about savings...and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too.
1. Who is this passage most probably written for 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A. College teachers.　　　B. University graduates.
C. High school teachers.　　　D. Would-be college students.
2. What is the author's suggestion for reaching a huge goal
A. Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones.　　　
B. Reward oneself for each goal one has set.
C. Purchase a clear, updated roadmap.　　　
D. Push oneself to an upper level.
3. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to 　　　.
A. prepare complicated questions　　　B. try on someone else's shoes
C. listen to others carefully　　　D. take advantage of others
4. What is the key to successful college study according to the author
A. Being well-organized.　　　B. Being well-informed.
C. Effective reading skills.　　　D. Reliable research methods.
5. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is 　　　.
A. save money for financial investment　　　B. estimate one's income and expenses
C. set aside money for fun activities　　　D. open a personal bank account
Passage 5(2021天津第二次,A) 主题 大学生活
　　When starting college, most students enjoy a week's stay on campus before classes actually begin. What should you do with that time Below are several tips to ease(使熟悉) yourself into college life.
Participating in Campus Welcome Activities
Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins, including freshmen orientations (迎新会), campus picnics, and entertainments like concerts.
Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture: What do students do for fun What are their favorite classes What is the history of your university It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom.
Exploring Campus
Getting to know where essential campus resources are—such as the student advising center, psychological services, and the tutoring center—will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier, because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.
Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held. This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes, and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place. If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings, a quick test run won't hurt. That way, you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.
Starting a Routine
Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you'll be able to do during the week, remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up. Starting classes means being in different places at different times, so it's a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.
What helps you most is to schedule your sleep. Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.
If you have other daily routines, such as exercising or talking on the phone with family, work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.
1. By participating in campus welcome activities, freshmen can　　　. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A. learn about campus culture　　　B. get their course schedule

A. To see how many facilities they can use.　　　
B. To avoid being late for future classes.
C. To help those getting lost on campus.

3. When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine
A. On the first day of their classes.　　　B. Before the orientation week.
C. After their first-day classes.　　　D. During the orientation week.
4. What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class

How to Use a Modern Public Library
Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. It's been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge, meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.
Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借)books, you'll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you're looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you've requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up.
Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn't offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.
Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you'd like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.
Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会) and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need.
1. Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by 　　　.
A. sharing their books on the Internet

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions(排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here's the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
　　The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
This energy transition(变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It's estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
1. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018
A. 11.6%.　　　B. 45.1%.　　　C. 74.5%.　　　D. 86.1%.
2. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily
A. Planes.　　　B. Trucks.　　　C. Trains.　　　D. Ships.
3. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition
A. Limiting fuel consumption.　　　B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency.　　　D. Making electricity more affordable.

English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you'll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It's also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire　
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven't been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you've probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor(港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don't leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It's delicious.
1. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta
A. In the Ludlow Castle.　　　B. In the Foodie Center of England.
C. In the Hereford Cathedral. 　　　D. In the Black and White House Museum.
2. What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center

Passage 1(2025天津河东二模,A) 主题 饮食与健康
Trend Overview
　　Tired of heavy, oil-laden dishes and sugar-charged desserts A “light meal revolution” is transforming Chinese tables. From low-calorie salads to grain-based bowls, restaurants and delivery platforms now offer “smart dining” options that prioritize steaming over frying, and natural flavors over artificial additives.
Market Growth
　　Low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China's restaurants and online delivery platforms.
　　●Light meal restaurants surged from 600 to over 3,500 in one year (Economic Daily).
　　●Online orders for light meals jumped 75% year-on-year, with 60% of demand coming from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen (Meituan Report).
　　●Millennials (千禧一代) lead consumption, drawn by weight management and digestive health benefits.
What Light Meals Offer
　　Having a light meal, however, doesn't mean salad-only deprivation:
　　Boiled meats, whole grains, and seasonal vegetables form the core.
　　High-fiber, low-fat ingredients like quinoa and avocado boost satiety.
　　Flavor innovation: Think herb-marinated chicken with roasted sweet potatoes, or edamame-topped brown rice bowls.
Health Benefits
　　These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That's probably why so many people, especially millennials, are into them. Diners see it as “a great way to avoid bloating (变胖)”.
Cultural Shift
　　“These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food,” says Walter C. Willett, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity, is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.
　　Ready to join the movement So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomach but maybe also your heart.

Passage 4(2025天津南开“三月高考”,A) 主题 社会交往
　　If you're new to a school or you have a tendency to be shy or tend not to get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people.
Step 1 Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
　　You're more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies,then join them to meet like-minded people.Also,pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do. If you love to draw,for instance,you could register for an art class,attend art shows,or look for people who are doodling (涂鸦) during math class.
Step 2 Spend time around people who show kindness.
　　Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead,look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch,who encourage others when they speak up in class,or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand. When you're around someone,you should feel comfortable acting like yourself. A friend should never make you feel bad for being who you are.
Step 3 Make new friends through your current friends.
　　If you already have a few friends but you're looking to meet more people, try getting to know the other people your friends know. If you don't have a chance to hang out during the school day,try setting up a group event after school or on the weekend. This can be as informal as walking home together,or it can be a planned activity everyone can participate in.
Step 4 Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
　　When you're around someone you don't know,it can be tempting (使人不自禁想尝试的) to just sit there quietly, especially if you're shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person,smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
1. Which of the following poses a challenge for making friends at school
A. The willingness to find people with similar interests.
B. Always daring to step out of your comfort zone.
C. Only being friendly to people you know well.
D. A relatively shy personality.
2. To meet like-minded people, you should 　　　.
A. paint in your spare time　　　B. doodle in math class
C. start a group based on your favorite hobby　　　D. join a club that interests you
3. What do we learn about from Paragraph 3
A. We should be with people who put others down.
B. Stay away from people who invite others to lunch.

Passage 10(2025天津河东二模,B) 主题 优秀品行
　　Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan's volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan's GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended $15,041 charge.
　　When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael's credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.
　　Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity's Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael's heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500.
　　Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said.
　　Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks—about eight times Michael's mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael's post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”

Calvin at first worked on developing independent living skills like walking with a stick. But he wanted to learn more—like skills that would be useful for a job. That's when he found Lighthouse Works in Orlando, a company that creates jobs for the visually impaired (受损的)and blind.
“Seven out of ten people who are visually impaired are not in the workforce,” said Kyle Johnson,president and CEO of Lighthouse Works. “And we knew some blind people are highly educated.

In his job,Calvin uses a system called JAWS to “hear” the computer he uses. The system reads the computer screen to Calvin in one ear as he listens to a customer call in his other ear.
