hopefully somewhere right here in this neighborhood. I hope I can get that done by September. After finding a suitable place，the move itself will also be a headache.There are so many things that could go wrong.But all those difficulties can be overcome.Although we'll face some tough times over the next few months, I know I can look forward to everyone's complete cooperation. With your help, Burnside Cafe can reopen better than ever.

As parents, we always hope to develop character traits (特征) in our children that will enhance their success in life. When our daughter Meegan, the eldest of five children, lost her front tooth at the age of six, we found the following note wrapped around the tiny tooth：
Dear Tooth Fairy，
Please leave me your magic wand (杖). I want to be a tooth fairy, too.
Luv Meegan
Recognizing potential leadership skills, precious opportunity and the teachable moment,the “Tooth Fairy” left the following note for little Meegan：
Dear Meegan，
I have worked hard to be a good Tooth Fairy and I love my job. You are too young for the job just now, so I cannot give you my wand. But there are some things that you can start to do to prepare yourself for the job：
1)Always do your best in every job that you do.
2)Treat all people as you wish to be treated.
3)Be kind and helpful to others.
4)Always listen carefully whenever people speak to you. I will interview you one day when you are older and ready for the job.
Good Luck, Meegan!
The Tooth Fairy
Meegan was excited at the response from the Tooth Fairy. She took the message to heart and carefully followed the instructions, always working to improve as she grew. Her character, her strength and her leadership skills grew right along with her. After graduating from college, Meegan accepted a challenging management position. She excelled, and by age 27, she was the top manager of the company.
One day Meegan and I were talking about her success. She told me that the company president had once asked her what influences had motivated her toward success.
“What did you tell him？” I asked.
She replied, “My parents, my teacher and my friends. And, of course, the Tooth Fairy！”

If you find yourself crossing one of London's busy bridges and look down, you may notice that the height of the Thames changes over the course of the day. When the tide (潮水) is out, you may see people move down hidden stairs to walk slowly along the foreshore (前滩). These are “mudlarks”—and they play a key role in preserving the history of the Thames by picking up objects and artefacts hidden in the river's mud (泥).
Walking along the foreshore of the Thames is not everyone's idea of a hobby—it can be cold and dirty. When the tide turns, it turns fast. You must always be aware of your way off of the foreshore. The mud is another hazard. A more experienced mudlark said he had once fallen into the mud. He was lucky to have a bucket to move out the mud.
Historically, being a mudlark was a low station in life. The term came about in the 18th and 19th centuries when the Thames was one of the major ways to transport goods into the city. At this time, the banks of the river would be full of mudlarks, mostly poor women and children. As the tide dropped, they would walk into the mud to pick up lumps of coal, pieces of rope or anything else careless boatmen had dropped overboard that they could sell.
Mudlarking is experiencing a renaissance (复兴). It has never been easier for people to explore the Thames: anyone looking for inspiration just has to follow the mudlarking posts on the Internet. The Thames Discovery Programme, a group of historians and volunteers, run guided tours of the foreshore where experts guide you and ensure that you stay safe and stick to Port of London Authority rules.

√
29．What does the underlined word “hazard” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Power. B．Danger.
C．Attraction. D．Waste.

√
30．Which of the following best describes mudlarking in the 18th and 19th centuries
A．It was considered as a hobby.
B．It was loved by most people.
C．It promoted the development of transport.

A．To give support to mudlarks.
B．To test mudlarks' working skills.
C．To inspire mudlarks' love for art.
D．To encourage mudlarks to volunteer.

U. S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there's growing concern over it. Now, a new study published by the American Psychological (心理的) Association, confirms that teens seem to feel better about themselves when they cut back.
“Social media can feel like a comparison trap，” says study author Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University. Her research found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens and young adults feel better about their body image and their appearance. “What I noticed in social media was that I couldn't help but compare myself，” Thai says. Reading posts from famous people and influencers, as well as people in her own social network, led to a lack of self-confidence.
So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reducing time on social media would improve body image. They gathered a few hundred volunteers, aged 17-25, all of whom had experienced symptoms (症状) of anxiety or depression—which could make them easily influenced by social media. Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media with no limits.
The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study, including statements such as “I'm pretty happy about the way I look”， and “I am satisfied with my weight”. Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale. The change may seem small, but any change in such a short period of time is worth noticing.
“It's encouraging that college students were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks，” psychologist Andrea Graham says. While this study included people with symptoms of anxiety or depression, Graham says it's worth applying this approach to other groups, such as people with eating problems.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了研究发现减少社交媒体的使用会让青少年对自己感觉更好，并介绍了研究开展的过程及意义。
√
32．What is the probable meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 2
A．Teens are forced to post their own images on social media.
B．Teens couldn't help but spend too much time on social media.
C．Teens tend to compare themselves with others on social media.
D．Teens are fooled into believing false information on social media.
解析：句意猜测题。根据第二段第二、第三句可知，青少年喜欢在社交媒体上进行比较，因此，画线句意为“社交媒体感觉起来像是一个比较陷阱”，即青少年倾向于在社交媒体上与他人比较。
√
33．How was the research conducted by Thai and a team of researchers
A．By listing numbers.
B．By giving examples.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By analyzing causes and effects.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段后两句及倒数第二段内容可推知，这项研究是通过作比较进行的。
√
34．What can we learn about the survey
A．The study included people with mental health and eating problems.
B．There was little difference in appearance score between the two groups.
C．College students were not willing to reduce screen time for more weeks.
D．Cutting social media use makes a difference to teens' opinion of their image.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale.”可知，减少社交媒体的使用会改变青少年对自己形象的看法。
√
35．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A．Less Screen Time, More Self-confidence
B．Social Media, a Time Bomb on Your Health
C．How to Improve Your Image on Social Media
D．Concern over Social Media Addiction Keeps Growing
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段内容可知，文章说明了研究发现减少社交媒体的使用会让青少年对自己感觉更好，并介绍了研究开展的过程及意义。因此，A项最适合作文章标题。

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面的材料，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。
Since my childhood my grandmother had noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. She was always pointing out to me, “Linda, it's a blessing to do a good deed for someone else, but sometimes it's a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York. Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop near apartment. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted (编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift？” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbors; I feel funny asking for favors. Pride would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbors at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hour journey. When I slid into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car. Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness (固执).
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow.__________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building later that day, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs._____________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
One possible version：
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. As I trudged along, I couldn't help but think of Grandma's words echoing in my mind. This time, her wisdom seemed to seep into my frozen bones. Just then, a car slowed beside me, and to my surprise, it was my neighbor from upstairs, the one with the kind eyes and the ever-ready smile. Without hesitation, I accepted her offer, warmth spreading through me as I stepped into her car.
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building later that day, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. With a grateful heart, I thanked her earnestly, with a sincerity in my voice that had been missing before. “I've been meaning to ask, would you like to come over for some tea sometime I'd love to get to know you better，” I said sincerely. Her face lit up with a warm smile, and I knew in that moment, I had not only accepted help but also opened the door to a new friendship, one that Grandma would surely approve of.

As parents, we always hope to develop character traits (特征) in our children that will enhance their success in life. When our daughter Meegan, the eldest of five children, lost her front tooth at the age of six, we found the following note wrapped around the tiny tooth：
Dear Tooth Fairy，
Please leave me your magic wand (杖). I want to be a tooth fairy, too.
Luv Meegan
Recognizing potential leadership skills, precious opportunity and the teachable moment,the “Tooth Fairy” left the following note for little Meegan：
Dear Meegan，
I have worked hard to be a good Tooth Fairy and I love my job. You are too young for the job just now, so I cannot give you my wand. But there are some things that you can start to do to prepare yourself for the job：
1)Always do your best in every job that you do.
2)Treat all people as you wish to be treated.
3)Be kind and helpful to others.
4)Always listen carefully whenever people speak to you. I will interview you one day when you are older and ready for the job.
Good Luck, Meegan!
The Tooth Fairy
Meegan was excited at the response from the Tooth Fairy. She took the message to heart and carefully followed the instructions, always working to improve as she grew. Her character, her strength and her leadership skills grew right along with her. After graduating from college, Meegan accepted a challenging management position. She excelled, and by age 27, she was the top manager of the company.
One day Meegan and I were talking about her success. She told me that the company president had once asked her what influences had motivated her toward success.
“What did you tell him？” I asked.
She replied, “My parents, my teacher and my friends. And, of course, the Tooth Fairy！”

If you find yourself crossing one of London's busy bridges and look down, you may notice that the height of the Thames changes over the course of the day. When the tide (潮水) is out, you may see people move down hidden stairs to walk slowly along the foreshore (前滩). These are “mudlarks”—and they play a key role in preserving the history of the Thames by picking up objects and artefacts hidden in the river's mud (泥).
Walking along the foreshore of the Thames is not everyone's idea of a hobby—it can be cold and dirty. When the tide turns, it turns fast. You must always be aware of your way off of the foreshore. The mud is another hazard. A more experienced mudlark said he had once fallen into the mud. He was lucky to have a bucket to move out the mud.
Historically, being a mudlark was a low station in life. The term came about in the 18th and 19th centuries when the Thames was one of the major ways to transport goods into the city. At this time, the banks of the river would be full of mudlarks, mostly poor women and children. As the tide dropped, they would walk into the mud to pick up lumps of coal, pieces of rope or anything else careless boatmen had dropped overboard that they could sell.
Mudlarking is experiencing a renaissance (复兴). It has never been easier for people to explore the Thames: anyone looking for inspiration just has to follow the mudlarking posts on the Internet. The Thames Discovery Programme, a group of historians and volunteers, run guided tours of the foreshore where experts guide you and ensure that you stay safe and stick to Port of London Authority rules.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了泰晤士河边的泥泞寻宝人，他们在保护泰晤士河历史方面发挥着关键作用，并说明了泥泞寻宝的历史起源及意义。
√
28．Why do people go mudlarking these days
A．To take more exercise. B．To keep the river clean.
C．To find historical objects. D．To study how the tide changes.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These are ‘mudlarks’．..preserving the history of the Thames by picking up objects and artefacts hidden in the river's mud.”可知，现在人们去河滩寻宝是为了寻找历史物品。
√
29．What does the underlined word “hazard” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Power. B．Danger.
C．Attraction. D．Waste.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“A more experienced mudlark said he had once fallen into the mud.”可知，泥泞寻宝人掉进了泥里，说明泥浆是另一个危险。因此，画线词意为“危险”。
√
30．Which of the following best describes mudlarking in the 18th and 19th centuries
A．It was considered as a hobby.
B．It was loved by most people.
C．It promoted the development of transport.
D．It allowed poor people to make a living.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推知，18世纪和19世纪的去河滩寻宝的活动使穷人得以谋生。
√
31．What is the purpose of the guided tour of the foreshore
A．To give support to mudlarks.
B．To test mudlarks' working skills.
C．To inspire mudlarks' love for art.
D．To encourage mudlarks to volunteer.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Mudlarking is experiencing a renaissance.”及“The Thames Discovery Programme...where experts guide you and ensure that you stay safe and stick to Port of London Authority rules.”可推知，有导游的前滩之旅的目的是为泥泞寻宝人提供支持。

U. S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there's growing concern over it. Now, a new study published by the American Psychological (心理的) Association, confirms that teens seem to feel better about themselves when they cut back.
“Social media can feel like a comparison trap，” says study author Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University. Her research found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens and young adults feel better about their body image and their appearance. “What I noticed in social media was that I couldn't help but compare myself，” Thai says. Reading posts from famous people and influencers, as well as people in her own social network, led to a lack of self-confidence.
So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reducing time on social media would improve body image. They gathered a few hundred volunteers, aged 17-25, all of whom had experienced symptoms (症状) of anxiety or depression—which could make them easily influenced by social media. Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media with no limits.
The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study, including statements such as “I'm pretty happy about the way I look”， and “I am satisfied with my weight”. Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale. The change may seem small, but any change in such a short period of time is worth noticing.
“It's encouraging that college students were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks，” psychologist Andrea Graham says. While this study included people with symptoms of anxiety or depression, Graham says it's worth applying this approach to other groups, such as people with eating problems.

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面的材料，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。
Since my childhood my grandmother had noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. She was always pointing out to me, “Linda, it's a blessing to do a good deed for someone else, but sometimes it's a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York. Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop near apartment. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted (编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift？” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbors; I feel funny asking for favors. Pride would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbors at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hour journey. When I slid into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car. Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness (固执).
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow.__________________________________________________

As I pushed open the door of my apartment building later that day, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs._____________

____________________________________________________________
One possible version：
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. As I trudged along, I couldn't help but think of Grandma's words echoing in my mind. This time, her wisdom seemed to seep into my frozen bones. Just then, a car slowed beside me, and to my surprise, it was my neighbor from upstairs, the one with the kind eyes and the ever-ready smile. Without hesitation, I accepted her offer, warmth spreading through me as I stepped into her car.
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building later that day, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. With a grateful heart, I thanked her earnestly, with a sincerity in my voice that had been missing before. “I've been meaning to ask, would you like to come over for some tea sometime I'd love to get to know you better，” I said sincerely. Her face lit up with a warm smile, and I knew in that moment, I had not only accepted help but also opened the door to a new friendship, one that Grandma would surely approve of.
