I hope you find a title that helps you slow down, breathe deep, and take a well-deserved reading break. Tell Me More I want everyone I know to read it, and well never exhaust the discussion topics it presents. Kelly talks in depth about how after her friend Liz was diagnosed with cancer, they both pushed past the surface stuff to form a powerful and lasting friendship. This book will make you want to be a better friend, and also give you insight into how. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone I’ve reread this book countless times, as Gottlieb gets to the heart of what matters in life. She explores human nature through the lens (镜头) of psychotherapy. First, Gottlieb introduces us to four of her patients, taking us inside the room to show us what happens. But Gottlieb is also in therapy (治疗) herself, thanks to a sudden breakup, and through her eyes, we get the patient’s perspective as well. Don’t Overthink It Nobody wants to live a life of constant overthinking, but it feels like something we’re very ready to do. In Don’t Overthink It, you’ll find actionable strategies that can make an immediate and lasting difference in how you deal with questions both large and small. Breath It seems simple: along, deep breath makes you feel better when you’re stressed. But what if we’re not breathing correctly from moment to moment? Combining stories with scientific research, Journalist James Nestor crafts a convincing case for paying closer attention to our breath and adding corrective measures. I’ve already noticed better posture at my desk and better timing on my runs from putting some of these tips into practice. 1. What is special about Maybe You Should Talk to Someone? A. Many discussion topics are presented. B. An unusual approach is employed. C. Actionable strategies are provided. D. A convincing case is skillfully created. 2.

To advertise some books. C. To recommend some readings. D. To present some tips on reading. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了几本书籍的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Maybe You Should Talk to Someone中的“She explores human nature through the lens (镜头) of psychotherapy. ”（她通过心理治疗的视角探索人性。）可知，Maybe You Should Talk to Someone特殊之处在于采用了一种不同寻常的方法探索人性。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Breath中的“I’ve already noticed better posture at my desk and better timing on my runs from putting some of these tips into practice. ”（我已经注意到，通过将这些技巧付诸实践，我在办公桌前的姿势更好了，跑步的时机也更好了。）可知，作者从Breath得到了身体上的好处。故选D项。 3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Today’s list includes a mix of humorous essays, well-researched tips backed by brain science, and advice from the heart. I hope you find a title that helps you slow down, breathe deep, and take a well-deserved reading break. ”（今天的清单包括幽默的文章，经过充分研究的脑科学建议，以及来自内心的建议。我希望你能找到一本能帮助你放慢脚步，深呼吸，好好休息一下的书。）可知，短文的目的是推荐一些书籍。故选C项。 B Holly Lillard went outside just to wash the windows. She didn’t go out that day to help save a pet—or a person. But that’s what happened when she found a lost cat named Tucker and closed a 600-mile gap to return him to his owner, McCall. Tucker’s adventure began in early November 2022,when McCall spent the night in a hotel in the tiny town of Cleveland. The retired electrician was driving from Florida to Michigan to visit a sick relative. Her budget was tight, and her head was full of questions. In the previous two years, McCall had lost her husband to cancer, and their grandson to violence. And a workplace accident had left McCall partially disabled. But even as everything changed around her, the future held one certainty: she’d have her two cats, Tucker and the 20-pounder she calls Fat Cat. The companionship and the routine of having to care for the animals were a lifeline when all else was turned upside down. McCall planned to spend the night in Cleveland and drive on. When McCall returned from breakfast the next morning, ready to pack up and hit the road again, Tucker was gone from her hotel room. Panicked, she searched along the busy road for hours, but he was nowhere to be found. She couldn’t afford to stay another night. Heartbroken, she got in her car and got back on the interstate, The next day, Lillard went to wash the back windows of her shop, just down the road across from the hotel where McCall had stayed. The moment she spotted Tucker, she knew he wasn’t one of the usual strays—he trotted (小跑) straight to her and looked well fed. Lillard took Tucker home, and posted his story in a lost-pet Facebook group. McCall, too, had been posting about Tucker. Within hours, someone made the connection, and soon McCall was on the phone with Lillard, hearing Tucker’s cries and sobbing with relief. McCall’s luck was changing. Lillard’s grandfather was planning a trip to Michigan, and Lillard was happy to shelter Tucker until the cat could take a ride with him. One month later, Tucker was hand-delivered to McCall’s doorstep and reunited with her in the presence of Lillard, whom the misty-eyed owner couldn’t thank too much. 4. What do we know about McCall from paragraph 2? A. She lived alone for two whole years. B. She retired as an electrician because of her age. C. She was moving to live with his relative in Michigan. D. She was seeking comfort from the company of her two pets. 5. Why didn’t McCall spend more time looking for Tucker? A. Because her schedule was extremely tight. B. Because she was short of money. C. Because her relative’s condition was worsening. D. Because she had had enough of Tucker. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. How McCall had Tucker lost. B. How much McCall missed Tucker. C. How McCall got reconnected to Tucker. D. How Lillard got in touch with McCall. 7. Who probably delivered Tucker to McCall in person? A. Lillard. B. Lillard’s grandfather. C. An animal rescuer. D. The lost-pet Facebook group. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了麦考尔的猫走丢了，被霍莉·利拉德收留，并帮助麦考尔和其团聚。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the previous two years, McCall had lost her husband to cancer, and their grandson to violence. And a workplace accident had left McCall partially disabled. But even as everything changed around her, the future held one certainty: she’d have her two cats, Tucker and the 20-pounder she calls Fat Cat. The companionship and the routine of having to care for the animals were a lifeline when all else was turned upside down.(在过去的两年里，麦考尔的丈夫死于癌症，他们的孙子死于暴力。一次工作事故使麦考尔部分残疾。但即使她周围的一切都发生了变化，未来有一件事是肯定的：她会有两只猫，塔克和那只20磅重的猫，她叫它“肥猫”。当一切都颠倒过来时，陪伴和照顾动物的日常生活是一条生命线)”可知，对麦考尔从她的两只宠物的陪伴中寻求安慰。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The retired electrician was driving from Florida to Michigan to visit a sick relative. Her budget was tight, and her head was full of questions.(这位退休的电工正从佛罗里达开车去密歇根看望一位生病的亲戚。她的预算很紧，脑子里满是问题)”可知，麦考尔不多花点时间找塔克是因为她缺钱。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The next day, Lillard went to wash the back windows of her shop, just down the road across from the hotel where McCall had stayed. The moment she spotted Tucker, she knew he wasn’t one of the usual strays—he trotted (小跑) straight to her and looked well fed. Lillard took Tucker home, and posted his story in a lost-pet Facebook group. McCall, too, had been posting about Tucker. Within hours, someone made the connection, and soon McCall was on the phone with Lillard, hearing Tucker’s cries and sobbing with relief.(第二天，利拉德去洗她的商店的后窗，就在麦考尔住过的酒店对面的那条路上。当她看到塔克的那一刻，她就知道它不是一只普通的流浪狗——它直奔她而来，看起来吃得很好。利拉德把塔克带回家，并把它的故事发布在了一个丢失宠物的Facebook群里。麦考尔也一直在发关于塔克的帖子。几个小时后，有人接通了电话，很快麦考尔就和利拉德通了电话，听到塔克的哭声，他如释重负地抽泣着)”可知，第四段主要讲的是麦考尔是如何和塔克重新联系上的。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“One month later, Tucker was hand-delivered to McCall’s doorstep and reunited with her in the presence of Lillard, whom the misty-eyed owner couldn’t thank too much.(一个月后，塔克被亲手送到了麦考尔的家门口，并在利拉德的见证下与她团聚，这位泪眼朦胧的主人对利拉德感激万分)”可知，是利拉德亲自把塔克交给麦考尔的。故选A。 C One afternoon, as we approached a mine from the air, a crew of panicked miners went running into the forest. As I followed their progress, something caught my eye: two macaws, flying away like crazy. After we landed, I found macaw feathers, yellow and blue, hanging on a string from a pole in the camp. Cabral shook his head and said that the miners must have hunted and eaten the bird, “The animals Die a silent death,” he said mournfully. For a public servant, Cabral is unusually outspoken — at least on Instagram, where his account is devoted to strongly criticizing animal cruelty. At the camp, Finger told Cabral that he had found signs of an active site deeper in the forest. We followed him,moving silently along a path through the woods. As we advanced, we could hear a dog barking. There in a clearing was a wooden hut, abandoned except for a black dog, yowling miserably. Then we heard a strange noise from a box next to the hut. Cabral lifted a plastic cover, revealing a mass of puppies, just a few days old. He picked up a couple and held them, then walked to a shelf where the miners had been drying wildlife meat. He threw a piece to the mother dog, which began wolfing it. Early in his career, Cabral acquired the nickname Rambo, but it seemed mostly like a joke. He had taken up armed patrols (巡逻) only in service of wildlife conservation,his lifelong passion. He came from Juiz de Fora, a city in Brazil’s central part, and spent his childhood immersed in nature, watching wildlife programs and reading about animals. “This is all I ever wanted to do,” he told me. He earned a degree in biology and another in ecology, then joined IBAMA, a branch of the environment ministry that protects threatened ecosystems. In 2013, Cabral secured approval to build a unit of rangers (护林员) who were committed to saving the environment, by force if necessary. 8. Why did the miners get so panicked that they ran into the forest? A. Because they mined illegally. B. Because they mistook “us” as invaders. C. Because they killed animals cruelly. D. Because they camped without permission. 9. What was Cabral’s career? A. Fighting against evils like Rambo. B. Protecting wildlife, by force if necessary. C. Volunteering in service of wildlife conservation. D. Filming wildlife programs in nature. 10 What do we know about IMAMA? A. It centered on wildlife protection. B. It originally built a unit of armed rangers. C. It was co-founded by Cabral. D. It worked as branch of a non-profit organization. 11. Which can best describe Cabral? A. Passionate and devoted. B. Smart and straightforward. C. Cooperative and courageous. D. Intelligent and knowledgeable. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Cabral为保护野生动物，对非法矿工进行打击的故事。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Cabral shook his head and said that the miners must have hunted and eaten the bird, “The animals Die a silent death,” he said mournfully.”（卡布拉尔摇了摇头，说矿工们一定是猎杀并吃掉了这只鸟。“这些动物无声地死去了，”他悲伤地说。）可推知，矿工们惊慌跑进了森林因为他们残忍地杀害动物。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“He earned a degree in biology and another in ecology, then joined IBAMA, a branch of the environment ministry that protects threatened ecosystems. In 2013, Cabral secured approval to build a unit of rangers (护林员) who were committed to saving the environment, by force if necessary.”（他获得了生物学和生态学的学位，然后加入了IBAMA，这是一个保护受威胁生态系统的环境部门的分支。2013年，Cabral获得了建立一支护林员队伍的批准，他们致力于保护环境，如果必要的话，可以使用武力。）可推知，Cabral的职业是保护野生动物，必要时可以使用武力，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“then joined IBAMA, a branch of the environment ministry that protects threatened ecosystems”（然后加入了IBAMA，这是一个保护受威胁生态系统的环境部门的分支）可推知，IBAMA是以保护野生动物为中心的，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He had taken up armed patrols (巡逻) only in service of wildlife conservation, his lifelong passion. He came from Juiz de Fora, a city in Brazil’s central part, and spent his childhood immersed in nature, watching wildlife programs and reading about animals.”（他参加武装巡逻只是为了保护野生动物，这是他毕生的爱好。他来自巴西中部城市Juiz de Fora，童年沉浸在大自然中，观看野生动物节目，阅读有关动物的书籍。）可推知，Cabral对保护野生动物充满热情并全身心投入，故选A。 D If you had to use one word to define yourself, what would it be? Imagine trying to summarize your entire being in just one word or two — a challenging task indeed. Labels, like “confident” or “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth of a person’s character. Labels take on an “all-or-nothing” meaning. Someone either is something or they’re not. The biggest problem with labeling people is that it oversimplifies their complex nature. Using labels infers people’s current behavior is fixed, but people change. As they learn, they grow, and someone we think of in a certain way today might not remain the same in a few months or years. When we label people, we deny their complexity, their right to change, and their richness as human beings. Furthermore, labels can become self-fulfilling prophecies (预言). When people are constantly told they are a certain way, they may start to remember these labels and act accordingly. This hinders their potential for growth and development, as they may feel trapped by social expectations. For example, if parents label a child as “annoying” or “a complainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t important. Over time, being ignored for complaining too much can lead the child to believe that expressing their needs is not acceptable. Consequently, their self-perception (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start to devalue themselves as a result. Linguist Benjamin Whorf once argued that the words we use to describe what we see are rarely objective, as they carry personally prejudice. Labels can be harmful because they can reduce individuals to a single characteristic or stereotype (刻板印象). Therefore, we should be mindful of the language we use and the labels we attach to people. By adopting a more open view of life, people, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience, and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world. 12. What is the biggest problem with labeling people? A. It expresses a subjective opinion. B. It denies the complexity of humans. C. It overstates people’s shortcomings. D. It ignores goodness in human nature. 13. What does the underlined word “hinders” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Exposes. B. Cultivates. C. Restricts. D. Determines. 14. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To present the bad effects of labeling on people. B. To show the importance of using language skillfully. C. To prove people’s natural tendency for being prejudiced. D. To encourage people to take an open-minded perspective. 15. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. Stop Labeling People B. Define Yourself Objectively C. Children Suffer a Lot from Labels D. Different Individuals Diversify the World 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述给人们贴标签的害处，并且号召不要给人们贴标签。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The biggest problem with labeling people is that it oversimplifies their complex nature. Using labels infers people’s current behavior is fixed, but people change. As they learn, they grow, and someone we think of in a certain way today might not remain the same in a few months or years. When we label people, we deny their complexity, their right to change, and their richness as human beings. (给人贴标签最大的问题是过于简单化了他们复杂的本性。使用标签可以推断出人们当前的行为是固定的，但人们会改变。随着他们的学习，他们在成长，我们今天以某种方式想到的人可能在几个月或几年内不会保持原样。当我们给人贴上标签时，我们否认了他们作为人类的复杂性、改变的权利和丰富性。)”可知，给人贴标签最大的问题是它否认了人类的复杂性。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“This hinders their potential for growth and development, as they may feel trapped by social expectations. For example, if parents label a child as “annoying” or “a complainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t important. Over time, being ignored for complaining too much can lead the child to believe that expressing their needs is not acceptable. Consequently, their self-perception (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start to devalue themselves as a result. (这hinders了他们的成长和发展潜力，因为他们可能会感到被社会期望所困。例如，如果父母给孩子贴上“烦人”或“爱抱怨”的标签，孩子可能会觉得他们的需求并不重要。随着时间的推移，因为抱怨太多而被忽视会让孩子相信表达自己的需求是不可接受的。因此，他们的自我认知可能会受到影响，甚至可能因此开始贬值。)”可知，这里解释给孩子贴标签会影响甚至阻碍孩子的发展，所以hinders的意思应该是“阻碍”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, we should be mindful of the language we use and the labels we attach to people. By adopting a more open view of life, people, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience, and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world. (因此，我们应该注意我们使用的语言和我们贴在人们身上的标签。通过对生活、人和事件采取更开放的观点，我们可以欣赏人类经验的丰富性和多样性，并应对我们相互关联的世界的复杂性。)”可知，作者在最后一段打算鼓励人们持开放的观点，不要给人们贴标签。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you had to use one word to define yourself, what would it be? Imagine trying to summarize your entire being in just one word or two — a challenging task indeed. Labels, like “confident” or “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth of a person’s character.(如果你必须用一个词来定义自己，它会是什么？想象一下，试着用一两个词来概括你的整个存在——这确实是一项具有挑战性的任务。标签，如“自信”或“有创造力”，可能暗示某些方面，但它们永远无法完全捕捉到一个人性格的丰富性和深度。)”和最后一段“Therefore, we should be mindful of the language we use and the labels we attach to people. By adopting a more open view of life, people, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience, and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world. (因此，我们应该注意我们使用的语言和我们贴在人们身上的标签。通过对生活、人和事件采取更开放的观点，我们可以欣赏人类经验的丰富性和多样性，并应对我们相互关联的世界的复杂性。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述给人们贴标签的害处，并且号召不要给人们贴标签。故选A。 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。 How Peer Pressure Influences Your Child Peer pressure can affect your child’s behavior in positive and negative ways. ____16____ Peer pressure is the influence from people who are members of the same social group.

Mum struggled to raise us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster. BC. My Dad had died five years earlier. There was not much money, so we went on relief, now called social assistance. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would fold and put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, which were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French Toast” — deep-fried bread — ready for us. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund. It was four days before Christmas, and Mum said instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Mum prayed for a special Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. The big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. Extremely thrilled, I hurried in the street. On the way, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas goodies. I knew then that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt upset. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As I continued walking, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With two full bags of groceries on the doorstep, I knocked on the door eagerly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As I continued walking, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents. The thought froze me for what seemed ages before I changed my mind. With a load lifted off my mind, I bounced into a big grocery store across the street. Soon, I found myself weighed down by all the Christmas treats. Having spent every dime of my hard-earned money, I went home with satisfaction. With two full bags of groceries on the doorstep, I knocked on the door eagerly. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mum opened the door, she just stood there completely dumbfounded by the groceries. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” I had a lot of explaining to do as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum to last two lifetimes. To see my Mum’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在经济萧条末期的新威斯敏斯特，作者一家生活拮据，靠社会救济交房租。圣诞将至，作者怀揣打工挣得的钱打算买双靴子，却意识到家里没有置办任何过节的物品，于是开始重新考虑自己的计划。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我继续走的时候，我感到一种奇怪的负罪感。”可知，第一段可描写作者要去买双新靴子时想起了妈妈的难处，于是作者改变了计划。 ②由第二段首句内容“门阶上放着满满两袋食品杂货，我急切地敲门”可知，第二段可描写作者拿着杂货回到家中，妈妈的表情以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：想起了妈妈的难处——改变计划——买杂货回到家——妈妈惊讶——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①买：buy /purchase ②改变：change /alter ③发现：find /spot ④获得：get /gain 情绪类 ①如释重负：With a load lifted off my mind / feeling relieved ②满意：satisfaction /content 【点睛】[高分句型1] Having spent every dime of my hard-earned money, I went home with satisfaction..

She didn’t go out that day to help save a pet—or a person. But that’s what happened when she found a lost cat named Tucker and closed a 600-mile gap to return him to his owner, McCall. Tucker’s adventure began in early November 2022,when McCall spent the night in a hotel in the tiny town of Cleveland. The retired electrician was driving from Florida to Michigan to visit a sick relative. Her budget was tight, and her head was full of questions. In the previous two years, McCall had lost her husband to cancer, and their grandson to violence. And a workplace accident had left McCall partially disabled. But even as everything changed around her, the future held one certainty: she’d have her two cats, Tucker and the 20-pounder she calls Fat Cat. The companionship and the routine of having to care for the animals were a lifeline when all else was turned upside down. McCall planned to spend the night in Cleveland and drive on. When McCall returned from breakfast the next morning, ready to pack up and hit the road again, Tucker was gone from her hotel room. Panicked, she searched along the busy road for hours, but he was nowhere to be found. She couldn’t afford to stay another night. Heartbroken, she got in her car and got back on the interstate, The next day, Lillard went to wash the back windows of her shop, just down the road across from the hotel where McCall had stayed. The moment she spotted Tucker, she knew he wasn’t one of the usual strays—he trotted (小跑) straight to her and looked well fed. Lillard took Tucker home, and posted his story in a lost-pet Facebook group. McCall, too, had been posting about Tucker. Within hours, someone made the connection, and soon McCall was on the phone with Lillard, hearing Tucker’s cries and sobbing with relief. McCall’s luck was changing. Lillard’s grandfather was planning a trip to Michigan, and Lillard was happy to shelter Tucker until the cat could take a ride with him. One month later, Tucker was hand-delivered to McCall’s doorstep and reunited with her in the presence of Lillard, whom the misty-eyed owner couldn’t thank too much. 4. What do we know about McCall from paragraph 2? A. She lived alone for two whole years. B She retired as an electrician because of her age. C. She was moving to live with his relative in Michigan. D. She was seeking comfort from the company of her two pets. 5. Why didn’t McCall spend more time looking for Tucker? A. Because her schedule was extremely tight. B. Because she was short of money. C. Because her relative’s condition was worsening. D. Because she had had enough of Tucker. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. How McCall had Tucker lost. B. How much McCall missed Tucker. C. How McCall got reconnected to Tucker. D. How Lillard got in touch with McCall. 7. Who probably delivered Tucker to McCall in person? A. Lillard. B. Lillard’s grandfather. C. An animal rescuer. D. The lost-pet Facebook group. C One afternoon, as we approached a mine from the air, a crew of panicked miners went running into the forest. As I followed their progress, something caught my eye: two macaws, flying away like crazy. After we landed, I found macaw feathers, yellow and blue, hanging on a string from a pole in the camp. Cabral shook his head and said that the miners must have hunted and eaten the bird, “The animals Die a silent death,” he said mournfully. For a public servant, Cabral is unusually outspoken — at least on Instagram, where his account is devoted to strongly criticizing animal cruelty. At the camp, Finger told Cabral that he had found signs of an active site deeper in the forest. We followed him,moving silently along a path through the woods. As we advanced, we could hear a dog barking. There in a clearing was a wooden hut, abandoned except for a black dog, yowling miserably. Then we heard a strange noise from a box next to the hut. Cabral lifted a plastic cover, revealing a mass of puppies, just a few days old. He picked up a couple and held them, then walked to a shelf where the miners had been drying wildlife meat. He threw a piece to the mother dog, which began wolfing it. Early in his career, Cabral acquired the nickname Rambo, but it seemed mostly like a joke. He had taken up armed patrols (巡逻) only in service of wildlife conservation,his lifelong passion. He came from Juiz de Fora, a city in Brazil’s central part, and spent his childhood immersed in nature, watching wildlife programs and reading about animals. “This is all I ever wanted to do,” he told me. He earned a degree in biology and another in ecology, then joined IBAMA, a branch of the environment ministry that protects threatened ecosystems. In 2013, Cabral secured approval to build a unit of rangers (护林员) who were committed to saving the environment, by force if necessary. 8. Why did the miners get so panicked that they ran into the forest? A Because they mined illegally. B. Because they mistook “us” as invaders. C. Because they killed animals cruelly. D. Because they camped without permission. 9. What was Cabral’s career? A. Fighting against evils like Rambo. B. Protecting wildlife, by force if necessary. C. Volunteering in service of wildlife conservation. D. Filming wildlife programs in nature. 10. What do we know about IMAMA? A. It centered on wildlife protection. B. It originally built a unit of armed rangers. C. It was co-founded by Cabral. D. It worked as branch of a non-profit organization. 11. Which can best describe Cabral? A. Passionate and devoted. B. Smart and straightforward. C. Cooperative and courageous. D. Intelligent and knowledgeable. D If you had to use one word to define yourself, what would it be? Imagine trying to summarize your entire being in just one word or two — a challenging task indeed. Labels, like “confident” or “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth of a person’s character. Labels take on an “all-or-nothing” meaning. Someone either is something, or they’re not. The biggest problem with labeling people is that it oversimplifies their complex nature. Using labels infers people’s current behavior is fixed, but people change. As they learn, they grow, and someone we think of in a certain way today might not remain the same in a few months or years. When we label people, we deny their complexity, their right to change, and their richness as human beings. Furthermore, labels can become self-fulfilling prophecies (预言). When people are constantly told they are a certain way, they may start to remember these labels and act accordingly. This hinders their potential for growth and development, as they may feel trapped by social expectations. For example, if parents label a child as “annoying” or “a complainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t important. Over time, being ignored for complaining too much can lead the child to believe that expressing their needs is not acceptable. Consequently, their self-perception (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start to devalue themselves as a result. Linguist Benjamin Whorf once argued that the words we use to describe what we see are rarely objective, as they carry personally prejudice. Labels can be harmful because they can reduce individuals to a single characteristic or stereotype (刻板印象). Therefore, we should be mindful of the language we use and the labels we attach to people. By adopting a more open view of life, people, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience, and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world. 12. What is the biggest problem with labeling people? A. It expresses a subjective opinion. B. It denies the complexity of humans. C. It overstates people’s shortcomings. D. It ignores goodness in human nature. 13. What does the underlined word “hinders” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Exposes. B. Cultivates. C. Restricts. D. Determines. 14. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To present the bad effects of labeling on people. B. To show the importance of using language skillfully. C. To prove people’s natural tendency for being prejudiced. D. To encourage people to take an open-minded perspective. 15. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. Stop Labeling People B. Define Yourself Objectively C. Children Suffer a Lot from Labels D.

Mum struggled to raise us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster. BC. My Dad had died five years earlier. There was not much money, so we went on relief, now called social assistance. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would fold and put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, which were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French Toast” — deep-fried bread — ready for us. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund. It was four days before Christmas, and Mum said instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Mum prayed for a special Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. The big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. Extremely thrilled, I hurried in the street. On the way, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas goodies. I knew then that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt upset. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As I continued walking, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With two full bags of groceries on the doorstep, I knocked on the door eagerly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
