My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. I was born missing my left hand. Indeed, my limb (手臂) difference could have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. A nurse placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed, “You will take her home. You will love her and treat her as normal.”
That is exactly what happened. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for it.
However, that fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious and the need to fit in is intensified. I remember one of the other kids on the school bus stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, a month, and years — 25 of them to be exact.
When I was 38 years old, tired of hiding and lonely, I met someone special and invited him in. The combination of me finally feeling ready to unhide and his willingness to go through the unhiding process with me was exactly what I needed. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold my limb, look at it, touch it, love it — love me. I saw my limb difference as something unique about me, something that should be shown, not hidden.
It was a transformational experience, and I learned to love me too. It changed how I lived my entire life and made me happier. I also discovered and joined the Lucky Fin Project, an organisation devoted to people with all types of disabilities.
Hiding things, especially from loved ones, is tiring and lonely, and it prevents us from getting help and support. It’s time to change that.
24．What was the author’s childhood like
A．She had no social interactions with friends. B．She was raised with care and treated normally.
C．She faced some challenges in school activities. D．She was upset about the attention to her difference.
25．What happened to the author when she was 13 years old
A．She began to ignore her disability. B．She suffered prejudice from some kids.
C．She started hiding herself away from friends. D．She became sensitive due to her self-awareness.
26．How did the author change when she stopped hiding
A．She started to open up and be herself. B．She met someone who cured her disability.
C．She was fed up with the company of others. D．She reduced involvement in the disability group.
27．What can we learn from this passage
A．Misfortune is a good teacher. B．Disability is not a barrier to success.
C．Self-acceptance can lead to self-love. D．Nothing beats the feeling of being loved.
C
Since the mid-1990s,tourists have paid storm-chasers to take them to places in the American Great Plains where they expect to see tornadoes. Why, a reasonable follow-up question might go,would anyone want to get so close to something so disruptive These tourists, a study found, characterized their relationship to severe weather as a “passion”, describing their feelings about tornadoes using words like “enjoyment”“fascination” and “love”. Some people seem spiritually moved by tornadoes-one tourist called the storms “humbling”-but the main motivator seemed to be simple: Twisters are cool.
America has many more tornadoes than any other country,and its people have long regarded twisters with a mix of fear,awe and thrilled pleasure. Fast-moving and dramatic,tornadoes have been irresistible parts for popular entertainment. One needn’t be an extreme-weather enthusiast, however,to take a brief and far-less dangerous tour: of culture tornadoes have inspired and of the transformation of American society’s feelings about these storms from fear to excitement.
European colonists in the future United States were fascinated-and sometimes horrified-by their new land’s weather. In the Early Republic,the influence of romantic ideas about the terrible and wonderful power of nature became clearer in American tornado culture. Some people began to write about tornadoes in terms of awe, and to produce art that explored the phenomenon’s natural beauty,while also moralizing about its meaning. Since the 1930s,American tornadoes have been less deadly: the country has much better early-warning systems,fewer people live in rural areas and tornado activity has largely shifted from the southeast to the thinly-populated Great Plains.
Storm-chasing-a scientific, thrill-seeking activity that most Americans found out about via the1996 blockbuster film Twister, is still incomprehensible to many who don’t practice it. “I find it difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t chased what forces us to seek pleasure from risk, ” wrote Jennifer Henderson,a scholar and crazy storm-chaser, characterizing her feelings while chasing as “a sense of exposure and revelation tightly coupled”.
28. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in the first paragraph mean
A. Amazing. B. Ruinous. C. Costly. D. Sensitive.
29. What do we learn about tornadoes in America
A. They are small and have a slower moving speed.
B. They tend to be less common in American history.
C. They have aroused interest in weather tours in America.
D. The American people have suffered less damage from them.
30. Why did the harm of tornadoes in America decrease in paragraph3
A. The population of America was declining gradually.
B. There was no tornado activity in the southeastern America.
C. America has made greater progress in natural disaster warning.
D. The natural environment in tornado areas has been damaged.
31. What is the best title of the article
A. The thrill of storm chasing C. The tour of watching tornadoes
B. The formation of tornadoes D. A unique phenomenon in nature
D
When we encounter a troublesome problem,we often gather a group to brainstorm. However,substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together,we fail to maximize collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams,we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”.You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately.Next,you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors.Then,each member evaluates them on his or her own,only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options.By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them,the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile.Given the urgency of the situation,the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions.Rather,they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas.A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone.This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners,making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works.They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation.In brainstorming meetings,it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices.The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation.The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room.It’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity,but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas.Therefore,it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.
32.What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming
A.It highlights independent work. B.It encourages group cooperation.
C.It prioritizes quality over quantity. D.It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
33.Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3
A.To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B.To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C.To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
D.To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
34.How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4
A.By blocking the loudest voices. B.By allowing equal involvement.
C.By improving individual wisdom. D.By generating more creative ideas.
35.Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph
A.Individual writing. B.Group sharing.
C.Personal evaluation. D.Joint discussion.

Adjust your workstation.
Change your screen settings to ensure that the brightness and contrast are balanced correctly, as well as making fonts larger. Also, be mindful of how your workstation is positioned. Adjust your screen ensuring it is 15 — 20 degrees below eye level and around 50 — 70 cm away from the eyes. 38
Reduce glare (眩光).
_39_. Try reducing this by attaching an anti-glare screen to your monitor or laptop to avoid external light shining onto the screen. Glasses wearers can also have lenses treated with an anti-glare coating.
A. People should try to reduce the time spent on the screen.
B. One can read his favorite paper books instead of e-books.
C. Half confess they’re forced to enlarge images to see them clearly.
D. Another thing to focus on is to make sure your room is properly lit.
E. Looking into the distance helps relax the focusing muscles of your eyes.

When I was seven years old, my family moved from Mexico to America. In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter.
We lived in a small house with a modest yard(不太大的院子) where we grew vegetables my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips(郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other.
It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.
The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.
As’ I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片)spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this.
Then my, mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help.
Para1 ：Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned to their home.
Para2 ：Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s upset for her lost garden.

You will love her and treat her as normal.”(事实上，如果没有接下来发生的事情，我的肢体差异可能是一场灾难。一位护士把我放在母亲的怀里，嘱咐我说:“你带她回家。你会爱她，像对待正常人一样对待她。”)”及第二段“That is exactly what happened. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for it.(事实正是如此。我参加体育运动，在剧院表演，在学校表现优异，和朋友一起玩。虽然我确实得到了一些关于我的残疾的凝视和“礼貌”的问题，但我很幸运，因为我没有因此而被取笑)”可知，作者虽然天生残疾，但是在童年时代受到了精心照料，受到正常的对待。故选B。

【35题详解】
根据空前“More than a quarter have to enlarge the font size on their mobile phone so they can read it clearly. (超过四分之一的人不得不把手机上的字体放大，这样才能看得清楚)”以及空后“Meanwhile, 28% regularly squint(眯眼看) at the screen.

【36题详解】
根据空后内容“Even worse, staring at the screen constantly can lead to dry eye syndrome (更糟糕的是，一直盯着屏幕会导致干眼症)”可推测，空处指的应该是盯着屏幕会给眼睛带来损伤。选项G“They may feel uncomfortable, painful, tired and even start to itch (发痒) or burn. (他们可能会感到不舒服、疼痛、疲倦，甚至开始发痒或灼烧)”与下文内容一致，指的都是长时间盯着屏幕会让眼睛受损。故选G。
【37题详解】
根据空前内容“Follow the 20:20:20 rule, looking up from your screen every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. (遵循20:20:20规则，每20分钟从屏幕上抬起头，看向20英尺以外的地方至少20秒)”可知，此处具体介绍可以遵循的用眼规则。选项E“Looking into the distance helps relax the focusing muscles of your eyes.

【38题详解】
根据上文内容“Change your screen settings to ensure that the brightness and contrast are balanced correctly, as well as making fonts larger. Also, be mindful of how your workstation is positioned. Adjust your screen ensuring it is 15-20 degrees below eye level and around 50-70 cm away from the eyes. (更改屏幕设置以确保亮度和对比度正确平衡，并使字体更大。此外，要注意工作站的位置。调整你的屏幕，确保它比眼睛低15—20度，离眼睛大约50—70厘米)”可知，上文提到了调整工作站，包括调整屏幕的位置和亮度等，而合适的照明环境也是保护眼睛的重要因素之一。选项D“Another thing to focus on is to make sure your room is properly lit. (另一件需要注意的事情是确保你的房间光线充足)”提醒读者还要注意照明环境，以全面保护眼睛健康，与本段内容相符。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据小标题“Reduce glare(眩光) (减少炫光)”可知，本段建议我们要减少炫光。选项F“Reflections on your computer screen can cause glare and lead to eye fatigue. (电脑屏幕上的反光会引起眩光，导致眼睛疲劳)”提到了电脑屏幕引起的眩光问题，从而自然引出下文“Try reducing this by attaching an anti-glare screen to your monitor or laptop to avoid external light shining onto the screen.(试着在你的显示器或笔记本电脑上安装一个防眩光屏幕，以避免外部光线照射到屏幕上。)”，以与本段内容相一致。故选F。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在快速发展的城市化时代，屋顶农业已成为应对城市绿色空间挑战的可持续对策。这种创新的做法将屋顶变成了迷你农场，在那里种植蔬菜、水果，甚至鲜花，为当地居民提供新鲜的农产品，并为城市环境增添了一丝自然气息。
56．考查介词。句意：在快速发展的城市化时代，屋顶农业已成为应对城市绿色空间挑战的可持续对策。短语response to表示“应对”。故填to。
57．考查时态语态。句意：这种创新的做法将屋顶变成了迷你农场，在那里种植蔬菜、水果，甚至鲜花，为当地居民提供新鲜的农产品，并为城市环境增添了一丝自然气息。主语vegetables, fruits, and even flowers与谓语构成被动关系，且陈述事实用一般现在时的被动语态，谓语用复数。故填are planted。

59．考查定语从句。句意：有植被的绿色屋顶有助于吸收阳光和释放水分，冷却空气，减少对空调的需求，从而减少能源消耗和碳排放。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前文整个主句，在从句中作主语，故填which。

61．考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，屋顶农场作为教育平台，向城市居民传授可持续农业实践和本地采购食物的重要性。分析句子结构可知句子谓语动词是serve，rooftop farms与teach构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填teaching。
62．考查形容词。句意：与此同时，屋顶农场作为教育平台，向城市居民传授可持续农业实践和本地采购食物的重要性。修饰名词food应用形容词sourced，故填sourced。

65．考查比较级。句意：当我们展望环保意识和可持续实践变得越来越重要的未来时，屋顶农业证明了我们不仅有能力种植食物——我们还培养了一个更绿色、更有弹性的世界的希望。根据后文and more resilient可知空格处应用形容词比较级。故填greener。

Sample 1
Dear Chairman of the Model CPPCC,
I am Li Hua. I am writing to express my support for the proposal of appointing the Double Ninth Festival as a national holiday. I believe that this traditional Chinese festival holds significant cultural value and deserves more recognition and celebration.
Firstly,by establishing the Double Ninth Festival as a national holiday, we can preserve and promote our rich cultural heritage. This festival, also known as the Chongyang Festival is not only a time for family reunions but also an occasion to honor and respect the elderly. By granting it national holiday status, we can encourage families and communities to carry out traditional customs, such as visiting elders, climbing mountains, and appreciating various scenes . This will contribute to the preservation and passing down of our traditional values to future generations.
In conclusion, I firmly support the proposal to make the Double Ninth festival a national holiday. This decision not only backs up our cultural heritage but also promotes family values and social harmony. I believe that such intiatives contribute to a more balanced and culturally rich society.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
续写范文：
Para1 ：Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. The sight of the ruined tulips, once a vibrant symbol of beauty and life, met their eyes. Their faces fell, a picture of distress.With a heart thumping with empathy, I approached them. “Let’s restore the garden together.” I suggested, echoing the spirit of giving that had always been a part of my mother’s values. Their eyes brimmed over with gratitude, and a smile, though weak, found its way onto their faces.Collaboratively(合作地), we commenced the mission of cleaning up the debris, shifting the weighty fallen branches, and collecting the scattered remains. By the time we finished, the garden was no longer a place of destruction, but a clean plot, ready for new beginnings.
Para2 ：Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden.The empty patches of earth where the tulips once thrived seemed to resonate with her quiet grief.Nevertheless, as we stood there looking at the now bare earth, an idea took root. “What if we plant new tulips ” I suggested. The idea sparked a beam on Luella’s face, the first since the tornado. Over the following weeks, we spent many afternoons together, sowing new seeds and nurturing new tulips.As we worked side by side, our friendship, much like the new shoots beginning to sprout, started to blossom. Luella’s new garden became a testament to the resilience and solidarity in the face of adversity.

W:Good morning. Today we’re going to talk about one of my favorite topics: food. Our guest today is Roger
Sabata， a food scientist who has done a lot of research in this area. Welcome Mr. Sabata.
M:Thanks for having me.
W:So what’s one of the biggest changes in eating habits that you’ve found
M: Well. I’d say the biggest change is the amount of eating out nowadays.
W,I’d never really think of it, but of course, thinking of my parents and how o often they were likely to eat out
compared to me in my life, well it’s a lot different.
M:Exactly. And then kids nowadays eat out even more often. Teenagers are eating a lot more fast food than we used to! Now, think of some of the effects of this change in habits.
W:I’d guess it probably isn’t all that healthy.
M: Not really. For example, there’s soda and soft drinks instead of milk. Ten or fifteen years ago, people- especially kids-drank a lot more milk. Nowadays,they drink about twice as many as soft drinks as they used to and a lot less milk.
W:It is true. Thank you for sharing with us your research.
M:My pleasure.

W:Oh, that would take too long. Can I take a bus there

This is Suzie on the Student Radio Station. I have the results of the entertainment survey we did last week here at the university, Last Thursday, we interviewed a total of 150 students. 70% of them liked going out with friends more than anything else. I had expected them to say playing sports or listening to music. Next on the list was watching TV. Most students spent 15 hours a week doing that. But something that surprised me was that some students considered shopping to be entertainment. So, what do students dislike doing Going to the theater was not very popular at all. It could be because a lot of students simply don’t have the money to buy the tickets.
