She came along, and with a few skillful waves of her hand, transformed them into a stunning bouquet. When praised for having this amazing ability, she shrugged off the compliment. She simply didn’t view her creativity as anything special. Too often we underestimate our own talents in this way. Maybe it’s because we’ve become used to believing that only abilities like a high I.Q., a gift for mathematics or a large vocabulary have cognitive value. I was fortunate to learn otherwise at a young age. When I entered high school, a guidance counselor told my mother I wasn’t college material because I had performed miserably on the spelling section of a standardized test. Thankfully my mother recognized my other intellectual gifts and stood up for me, insisting I be put into the college-track curriculum. This experience literally defined the course of my life. It showed me how important it is not to accept a label someone else put on me and it allowed me to realize my full potential. In the early 1980’s, Howard Gardner, a prominent Harvard researcher, pioneered a concept of “multiple intelligences”. In his book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, he suggested that intelligence is not limited to a traditional interpretation but instead includes a wide range of cognitive abilities. What I love about the multiple intelligences theory is that it allows you to reframe your own abilities and talents, especially those that don’t necessarily fit into neat academic boxes. While it’s true one must meet a basic level of intelligence for achievement, the analytical skills measured by I.Q. do not tell the whole story. This is why we should celebrate all of our talents and abilities. They’re part of what makes your individual brain so wonderful and unique. 24．Whose ability is probably underestimated according to the author? A．A child who has a large vocabulary. B．A child who is good at building Lego blocks. C．A child who has an easy time learning how to multiply. D．A child who quickly fits into academic learning process. 25．What does “otherwise” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A．It suited me well to take college-track courses. B．Intelligence can be interpreted by various abilities. C．Spelling ability in a standardized test is of great value. D．A high I. Q. makes no sense in realizing my full potential. 26．Why did the author mention Howard Gardner’s book? A．To introduce a new topic. B．To support his opinion. C．To recommend the book. D．To clarify a concept. 27．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Change Your Cognitive Value. B．Develop Your Academic Ability. C．Appreciate Your Multiple Intelligences. D．Explore the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. C I observed one child hugging her beloved toy dog while reading a book to her friend — both she and her dog were actively turning the pages — and with every page turned, she looked down at her dog, lovingly. As a longtime educator of toddlers and a current PhD student studying transitional phenomena and object relations, I have had the pleasure to witness the presence of transitional objects in the kindergarten. The term transitional object, coined in 195l by D．W. Winnicott, refers to any material to which a child attaches a special value and by means of which the child is able to make the necessary shift from the earliest oral relationship with mother to genuine object-relationships. It is typically something soft, such as a blanket or a soft toy, that is similar to the mother’s warm arms. It may also be the subject of the child’s fantasies, for example where a teddy bear is spoken to, hugged, punished, etc. It thus becomes a tool for practicing interaction with the external world. Moreover, the transitional object supports the development of the self, as it is used to represent ‘not me’. By looking at the object, the child knows that it is not the object and hence something individual and separate. in this way, it helps the child develop its sense of ‘other’ things. If the object is denied in any way, attachment difficulties may arise later in life. The object allows for and invites emotional well-being, and without such an object, true feelings may be hidden or dismissed as the child has no other means to cope with and comprehend the world. Worse still, the object is intimately bound up with the identity of the child. Taking away the object is also taking away something of the child itself. Winnicott noted that transitional objects continue through the course of our lives, as “sacred monuments” which pull us back to “a place and time of great comfort and memory”. The attachment to certain objects like self photographs defines both memorials, and more importantly a stale of connection and presence in the world. 28．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By sharing feelings. B．By illustrating a term. C．By relating an experience. D．By providing background information. 29．What does the term “transitional objects” refer to according to the passage? A．Tools used by educators to aid teaching. B．Items to which a child becomes deeply attached. C．Toys designed to amuse kids in the kindergarten. D．Expensive personal possessions gifted by parents. 30．What might happen if a child’s transitional object is denied? A．Ho might lose his imagination. B．He may become more independent. C．He is less likely to share personal feelings. D．He probably distances himself from his mother. 31．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To introduce how to develop a sense of ‘other’ things. B．To do research on the psychological development of kids. C．To show how to enhance the bond between mother and child. D．To stress the importance of transitional objects to children. D In a bid to reduce global electronic waste, Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves. What makes its technology so sustainable? “This is my phone’s camera,” says Bas van Abel, co-founder of the Fairphone, holding a small, square component aloft. He has just removed it from his smartphone, using a tiny screwdriver. “There are eight components in total which can be removed and replaced,” he says, as he carefully disassembles his entire smartphone, placing the camera alongside his phone battery, USB port, screen and loudspeaker. Founded in 2013 in Amsterdam, Fairphone makes Android smartphones which can easily be exchanged, customized and repaired by their owners. By enabling and encouraging people to fix their phones, rather than throwing them away as soon as a component breaks, Fairphone hopes to help reduce electronic waste. In 2022, 5.3 billion mobile phones were thrown away, the Belgian non-profit The WEEE Forum, which analyses electronic waste, estimates. In the US, people replace their phones every 18 months on average as new models with upgraded features are released. Most devices now come as sealed units that are extremely difficult and expensive to repair, or even produce error messages if damaged components are fixed. Fairphone wants to break this trend by selling phones that have a longer working life. Despite its ambition, Fairphone is still only a minor player in the mobile phone market ——since launching, it has sold around 550,000 devices. To put this into context, more than 232 million iPhones were sold worldwide in 2022. But van Abel says Fairphone is trying to prove that it is possible for companies to turn a profit selling sustainable smartphones. Sustainability, however, comes with a high price tag. The latest Fairphone model costs £649. This is partly because Fairphone has to build everything in-house, according to van Abel. “We do all the software updates ourselves as there’s not one company in the world that supports long-lasting phones,” he says. “There’s a lot of investment needed for us to be able to do what we want to.” 32．What do we know about van Abel? A．He was quite skillful in repairing mobile phones. B．He created a smartphone that can repair itself. C．He was satisfied with this sustainable smartphone. D．He advocated recycling electronic products. 33．Why did Americans always change their phones? A．Because the functions of the phones needed to be upgraded. B．Because old phones were not environmentally friendly. C．Because they didn’t like using second-hand phones. D．Because the data in the phones showed errors. 34．What can we infer about Fairphone? A．Its various products were deeply loved by consumers. B．Its sales profit was higher than that of iPhone. C．It required financial and technical support. D．It encouraged people to purchase high-capacity smartphones. 35．What can be concluded from Fairphone’s development? A．Everything’s hard in the beginning. B．No pains, no gains. C．Love me, love my dog. D．Kill two birds with one stone. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 New academicians take a group photo after the certificate awarding ceremony at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. 36 They aimed to make greater contributions to the development of the nation’s scientific research by encouraging the young generation and promoting the role of female scientists. Academician Huang made three commitments to himself — to contribute his energy to scientific research; to apply his achievements in the fields; and to provide more opportunities for young people. “ 37 By allowing outstanding young people to have sufficient opportunities, we can foster a diverse scientific community with vigorous debates,” he said. Academician Jian Zhimin advised young students that persistence is the most valuable spirit on the path of scientific research. “ 38 This determination and perseverance are essential in scientific research,” he said. Out of the 59 newly elected academicians this year, five of them are female scientists. Academician Jin Kuijuan mentioned that women have unique perspectives, and respecting the role of women is of crucial significance. 39 40 For example, she said funding institutions such as the National Natural Science Foundation and the Excellent Young Scholars Fund have relaxed their age restrictions, taking into consideration the time and energy women need for childbirth and childcare.

They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time. I wonder, “Can we learn from a pile of 41 ?” Even the tallest mountains have 42 ; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock, I’ve found my 43 has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. 44 , I was also a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and and I’m more 45 . I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can 46 together. But I’m not a rock. I’m a 47 filled with all the drama built into my DNA． Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several young men to 48 for not wearing masks. Not 49 and not rude. On the door read a sign, “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can to 50 this together.” The group of young men wanted to 51 about the note. I sat at the restaurant watching, understanding both sides. I’ve been one of them before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, 52 , was the ability to grow from 53 by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more 54 , I’ve also found more happiness and success. You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to 55 and make room for others, while the latter never give an 56 to accommodate others. 57 , like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to 58 the world from someone else’s point of view. I placed a 59 stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding a 60 again. 41．A．goods B．boxes C．books D．rocks 42．A．piled up B．worn down C．risen up D．broken down 43．A．will B．voice C．attitude D．heart 44．A．Often B．Still C．Here D．Once 45．A．understanding B．confident C．patient D．competitive 46．A．contribute B．exist C．suffer D．develop 47．A．leader B．teacher C．human D．judge 48．A．leave B．explain C．apologize D．pay 49．A．contradictory B．confusing C．forceful D．discouraging 50．A．get through B．stick to C．deal with D．fight against 51．A．think B．care C．talk D．argue 52．A．even B．however C．anyway D．also 53．A．hardships B．struggle C．experiences D．failure 54．A．open B．cautious C．ambitious D．independent 55．A．ignore B．accept C．adjust D．change 56．A．excuse B．agreement C．entrance D．inch 57．A．Nature B．Tolerance C．Tide D．Time 58．A．reforming B．seeing C．exploring D．travelling 59．A．sharp B．rounded C．valuable D．rolling 60．A．class B．belief C．meeting D．discussion 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当内容或括号内单词的正确形式。 The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms.
