Florence Nightingale, often called “the Lady with the Lamp”, was a caring nurse and a leader. Although her parents were from England, Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy while they were traveling. Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was home-schooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age. However, Nightingale believed she received a “calling” from God to help the poor and the sick. Despite the initial disapproval, her father eventually allowed her to go to Germany and then Paris to study. By the time she was 33, Nightingale was already making a name for herself in the nursing community.
When the Crimean War began in 1854, the British, with the lack of medical supplies, overcrowding, and dirty conditions, were unprepared to deal with a large number of sick and injured soldiers. The Secretary of War, Sidney Herbert asked Nightingale to manage a group of nurses that would go to treat the wounded soldiers. When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses.
However, as the number of patients increased, the doctors needed their help. The nurses brought supplies, nutritious food and cleanliness to the military hospital. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”. Within six months, Nightingale and her team transformed the hospital, and the death rate went down significantly because of their work.
When Nightingale returned from the war, she continued to improve the conditions of hospitals. She wrote 150 books, pamphlets (小册子), and reports on health-related issues. In her later years, often bedridden from illness, she continued to advocate for safe nursing practices until her death. Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues.
4. What can be learned about Florence Nightingale from Paragraph 1?
A. She got married at a young age.
B. She was born in a poor family.
C. She went to university in Italy in 1820 to study medicine.
D. She became famous in the nursing community when she was 33.
5. Why didn’t the doctors welcome the arrival of the nurse team at first?
A. Because they didn’t need any nurses’ help.
B. Because they were unwilling to work with female nurses.
C. Because there were enough doctors for treating the wounded soldiers.
D. Because they didn’t believe the nurses could help the wounded soldiers.
6. Why did Nightingale get the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”?
A. She liked taking a lamp with her everywhere.
B. She often prepared food at night with a lamp.
C. She usually borrowed lamps from the military hospital.
D. She often carried a lamp at night when checking on soldiers.
7. Which words can best describe Nightingale?
A. Helpful but stubborn. B. Devoted and selfless.
C. Patriotic and intelligent. D. Determined but careless.
C
Statistics show that most toddlers (刚学走路的小孩) learn how to say about 20 words by 18 months. Talking is easy. If you ask anyone, none will remember how they started doing it. It just comes naturally.
But what might not flow as smoothly as words is body language. It’s a whole different deal when you’re using your hands, eyes or head instead of your tongue. And what makes it even more complicated is the fact that body language differs all around the world.
I find it shockingly amazing how just a small finger gesture could mean one thing in the East and the completely opposite in the West. For instance, in Japan, bowing is the most common greeting. It shows respect and Japanese pay a lot of attention to the details like the timing, posture and movement. A bow in Japan represents sincerity, respect and graciousness. While in New Zealand, the pressing of noses and foreheads is the traditional greeting for Maori people. They call it “hongi”, which is regarded as the breath of life.
For most of us, nodding our heads up and down often means agreement, but not for the Bulgarians or Greeks. In both cultures, nodding one’s head up and down actually means “no”. The American goodbye wave could actually be interpreted (领会) as a “no” in many parts of Europe and Latin America. And the Italian goodbye wave would be understood in America as a “come here” and the American “come here” gesture would actually be seen as an insult (侮辱) in most of Asia.
So before you travel to explore a different culture, make sure you’re aware of alternate meanings for body language. We live in a world with many different cultures, so don’t forget how differently one hand gesture can be interpreted!
8. What does paragraph two intend to tell us?
A. It is natural to speak English at an early age.
B. It is very difficult to master the body language.
C. When to use your body is the most difficult to learn.
D. Your tongue can determine your language proficiency.
9. Which of the following is a way to show greetings?
A. By pressing noses and foreheads. B. By nodding your head up and down.
C. By expressing sincerity to people. D. By taking a deep breath.
10. Why is an Asian angry with Americans’ “come here” gesture?
A. Because he considers it as a farewell. B. Because he thinks highly of it.
C. Because he interprets it as “no”. D. Because he mistakes it as an insult.
11. What can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. Difficult. B. Impossible. C. Different. D. Important.
D
By 6 a. m., the WeChat group for morning badminton enthusiasts is already alive with activity. Players swiftly form teams of six and register through group leader Xu to secure desired court time, a routine that has become an important part of Beijing’s badminton culture.
As the popularity of badminton continues to soar, court availability has become a major challenge. Xu, manager of Huabao Badminton Court in Beijing, revealed that reservations are fully booked until September. Individual players can only play between 6 a. m. and 8 a. m. and even then, they must share the court with five to seven other players. During the summer months, the courts are completely taken over by youth training programs, further fueling the demand for this sport.
This phenomenon is not isolated. In Shanghai’s Yuanshen Sports Center, which has five badminton courts, early morning slots (时间、空挡) are quickly filled even on weekdays. In Chengdu, the capital of Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, popular afternoon slots at some badminton venues (场馆) require booking 3-5 days in advance.
The immense popularity of badminton is no coincidence. A 2019 study published in The Lancet, which involved 1. 2 million people, found that racket sports and aerobic (有氧) exercises, including badminton, offer the greatest benefits for both physical and mental health, including a 47 percent reduction in overall mortality rates.
Luo Chaofan, a sports rehabilitation specialist from the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission, explained: “Compared with basketball, badminton is easier to pick up, and people of all ages can play. It also doesn’t involve as many rapid stops or large movements, making it less intense,” Luo said.
While badminton is suitable for all ages, experts also advise caution. “If you experience significant shoulder pain and swelling after playing, you should stop. Overuse of the shoulder can cause wear and tear on the muscle and humeral head. Moderate exercise is enough to strengthen the body and improve mood,” Luo warned.
12. What is the current situation of Huabao Badminton Court in Beijing?
A. Single players can enter the court at any time.
B. Teenagers have no rights to get into the court.
C. People can’t make the reservations in advance.
D. Individual players may need to share the court with strangers.
13. Why does the author mention the badminton venues in Shanghai and Chengdu?
A. To promote the badminton in society.
B. To contrast with the badminton court in Beijing.
C. To show that there are many badminton courts in China.
D. To show that badminton is now popular in different cities.
14. What can we know from the passage?
A. The badminton is popular with people by chance.
B. Badminton is easy to learn and has few movements.
C. Playing badminton usually may increase the risk of death.
D. You can continue playing badminton if your shoulder feels uncomfortable.
15. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. How to Join a Badminton Club
B. How to Improve Badminton Skills
C. Badminton Has Become a Popular Sport in China
D. What Should I Do If I Get Injured Playing Badminton?

His record was clean, without one accident or mishap (小事故) during his tenure (任期), which made him a trustworthy driver.
However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was concerned and thought that it was time for him to retire. “You don’t have a choice here, Peter,” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children who take your bus every day. We need a replacement at this stage.”
“But I have a perfect record,” argued Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I want to keep my job.”
“Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those children?” Mr. Clark said.
Peter thought it over, and very unwillingly, he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later.
His retirement day approached pretty soon. The day before his last day, Peter was dropping off the kids at his first stop when he looked out of the window and saw a lady on the road who had fainted (昏厥). He asked the kids not to leave the bus and got down to help the woman.

Florence Nightingale, often called “the Lady with the Lamp”, was a caring nurse and a leader. Although her parents were from England, Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy while they were traveling. Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was home-schooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age. However, Nightingale believed she received a “calling” from God to help the poor and the sick. Despite the initial disapproval, her father eventually allowed her to go to Germany and then Paris to study. By the time she was 33, Nightingale was already making a name for herself in the nursing community.
When the Crimean War began in 1854, the British, with the lack of medical supplies, overcrowding, and dirty conditions, were unprepared to deal with a large number of sick and injured soldiers. The Secretary of War, Sidney Herbert asked Nightingale to manage a group of nurses that would go to treat the wounded soldiers. When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses.
However, as the number of patients increased, the doctors needed their help. The nurses brought supplies, nutritious food and cleanliness to the military hospital. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”. Within six months, Nightingale and her team transformed the hospital, and the death rate went down significantly because of their work.
When Nightingale returned from the war, she continued to improve the conditions of hospitals. She wrote 150 books, pamphlets (小册子), and reports on health-related issues. In her later years, often bedridden from illness, she continued to advocate for safe nursing practices until her death. Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues.

A. She got married at a young age.
B. She was born in a poor family.
C. She went to university in Italy in 1820 to study medicine.
D. She became famous in the nursing community when she was 33.
5. Why didn’t the doctors welcome the arrival of the nurse team at first?
A. Because they didn’t need any nurses’ help.
B. Because they were unwilling to work with female nurses.
C. Because there were enough doctors for treating the wounded soldiers.
D. Because they didn’t believe the nurses could help the wounded soldiers.
6. Why did Nightingale get the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”?

Statistics show that most toddlers (刚学走路的小孩) learn how to say about 20 words by 18 months. Talking is easy. If you ask anyone, none will remember how they started doing it. It just comes naturally.
But what might not flow as smoothly as words is body language. It’s a whole different deal when you’re using your hands, eyes or head instead of your tongue. And what makes it even more complicated is the fact that body language differs all around the world.
I find it shockingly amazing how just a small finger gesture could mean one thing in the East and the completely opposite in the West. For instance, in Japan, bowing is the most common greeting. It shows respect and Japanese pay a lot of attention to the details like the timing, posture and movement. A bow in Japan represents sincerity, respect and graciousness. While in New Zealand, the pressing of noses and foreheads is the traditional greeting for Maori people. They call it “hongi”, which is regarded as the breath of life.
For most of us, nodding our heads up and down often means agreement, but not for the Bulgarians or Greeks. In both cultures, nodding one’s head up and down actually means “no”. The American goodbye wave could actually be interpreted (领会) as a “no” in many parts of Europe and Latin America. And the Italian goodbye wave would be understood in America as a “come here” and the American “come here” gesture would actually be seen as an insult (侮辱) in most of Asia.
So before you travel to explore a different culture, make sure you’re aware of alternate meanings for body language. We live in a world with many different cultures, so don’t forget how differently one hand gesture can be interpreted!
8. What does paragraph two intend to tell us?
A. It is natural to speak English at an early age.
B. It is very difficult to master the body language.
C. When to use your body is the most difficult to learn.
D. Your tongue can determine your language proficiency.
9. Which of the following is a way to show greetings?
A. By pressing noses and foreheads. B. By nodding your head up and down.
C. By expressing sincerity to people. D. By taking a deep breath.
10. Why is an Asian angry with Americans’ “come here” gesture?
A. Because he considers it as a farewell. B. Because he thinks highly of it.
C. Because he interprets it as “no”. D. Because he mistakes it as an insult.
11. What can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. Difficult. B. Impossible. C. Different. D. Important.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界各地不同的肢体语言,强调了在探索不同文化时要注意肢体语言的不同含义。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But what might not flow as smoothly as words, is body language. It’s a whole different deal when you’re using your hands, eyes or head instead of your tongue. And what makes it even more complicated is the fact that body language differs all around the world.( 但肢体语言可能不像语言那样流畅。当你用手、眼睛或头而不是舌头时,这完全是另一回事。而让事情变得更复杂的是,世界各地的肢体语言各不相同)”可推知,第二段主要想告诉我们掌握肢体语言是很难的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While in New Zealand, the pressing of noses and foreheads is the traditional greeting for Maori people. (而在新西兰,毛利人传统的问候方式是按压鼻子和额头)”可知,通过按压鼻子和额头是一种问候方式。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And the Italian goodbye wave would be understood in America as a “come here” and the American “come here” gesture would actually be seen as an insult in most of Asia. (意大利人的告别手势在美国被理解为“过来”,而美国人的“过来”手势在大多数亚洲国家实际上被视为一种侮辱)”可知,亚洲人会把美国人的“过来”的手势误解为一种侮辱,所以会对此感到愤怒。故选D项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“So before you travel to explore a different culture, make sure you’re aware of alternate meanings for body language. We live in a world with many different cultures, so don’t forget how differently one hand gesture can be interpreted! (所以,在你去探索不同的文化之前,确保你了解肢体语言的alternate含义。我们生活在一个有着许多不同文化的世界里,所以不要忘记一个手势可以被解读得多么不同!)”可知,作者强调了一个手势在不同的文化中可以有不同的解读,即手势的含义是“不同的”,所以“different”可以替代画线词alternate。故选C项。

By 6 a. m., the WeChat group for morning badminton enthusiasts is already alive with activity. Players swiftly form teams of six and register through group leader Xu to secure desired court time, a routine that has become an important part of Beijing’s badminton culture.
As the popularity of badminton continues to soar, court availability has become a major challenge. Xu, manager of Huabao Badminton Court in Beijing, revealed that reservations are fully booked until September. Individual players can only play between 6 a. m. and 8 a. m. and even then, they must share the court with five to seven other players. During the summer months, the courts are completely taken over by youth training programs, further fueling the demand for this sport.
This phenomenon is not isolated. In Shanghai’s Yuanshen Sports Center, which has five badminton courts, early morning slots (时间、空挡) are quickly filled even on weekdays. In Chengdu, the capital of Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, popular afternoon slots at some badminton venues (场馆) require booking 3-5 days in advance.
The immense popularity of badminton is no coincidence. A 2019 study published in The Lancet, which involved 1. 2 million people, found that racket sports and aerobic (有氧) exercises, including badminton, offer the greatest benefits for both physical and mental health, including a 47 percent reduction in overall mortality rates.
Luo Chaofan, a sports rehabilitation specialist from the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission, explained: “Compared with basketball, badminton is easier to pick up, and people of all ages can play. It also doesn’t involve as many rapid stops or large movements, making it less intense,” Luo said.
While badminton is suitable for all ages, experts also advise caution. “If you experience significant shoulder pain and swelling after playing, you should stop. Overuse of the shoulder can cause wear and tear on the muscle and humeral head. Moderate exercise is enough to strengthen the body and improve mood,” Luo warned.
12. What is the current situation of Huabao Badminton Court in Beijing?
A. Single players can enter the court at any time.
B. Teenagers have no rights to get into the court.
C. People can’t make the reservations in advance.
D. Individual players may need to share the court with strangers.
13. Why does the author mention the badminton venues in Shanghai and Chengdu?
A. To promote the badminton in society.
B. To contrast with the badminton court in Beijing.
C. To show that there are many badminton courts in China.
D. To show that badminton is now popular in different cities.
14. What can we know from the passage?
A. The badminton is popular with people by chance.
B. Badminton is easy to learn and has few movements.
C. Playing badminton usually may increase the risk of death.
D. You can continue playing badminton if your shoulder feels uncomfortable.
15. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. How to Join a Badminton Club
B. How to Improve Badminton Skills
C. Badminton Has Become a Popular Sport in China
D. What Should I Do If I Get Injured Playing Badminton?
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“By 6 a. m., the WeChat group for morning badminton enthusiasts is already alive with activity. (到早上6点,早上羽毛球爱好者的微信群已经活跃起来。)”及全文可知,文章主要围绕羽毛球在中国的受欢迎程度展开,包括不同城市的场地预订情况、受欢迎的原因等。故选 C。

How much do you spend on subscriptions every month? Wrong, guess again! ____16____. Because whatever number you came up with wasn’t nearly big enough.

But paying for the subscriptions you use is not the only reason your bill is probably much higher than you realize. ____18____. That, as it turns out, is one of the hidden forces behind the subscription economy: Americans spend billions of dollars on stuff they have forgotten about. A dirty little secret behind many of the world’s most popular subscription services is that they owe part of their success to our lack of attention.

Now, review exactly how many subscriptions you receive, how much you’re spending on each one, and what they’re for. To get back on track, cancel all of them and rework your budget to make progress toward your financial goals.
A. Maybe, you can never get the right answer
B. Unfortunately, most of us are familiar with that feeling
C. You always subscribe what you don’t need unconsciously

47. 阅读下面材料,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。
Peter, 60, loved his job as a bus driver. He had been one almost all his life, loving the company of the little children who rode his bus daily. It made him feel younger and more energetic. His record was clean, without one accident or mishap (小事故) during his tenure (任期), which made him a trustworthy driver.
However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was concerned and thought that it was time for him to retire. “You don’t have a choice here, Peter,” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children who take your bus every day. We need a replacement at this stage.”
“But I have a perfect record,” argued Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I want to keep my job.”
“Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those children?” Mr. Clark said.
Peter thought it over, and very unwillingly, he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later.
His retirement day approached pretty soon. The day before his last day, Peter was dropping off the kids at his first stop when he looked out of the window and saw a lady on the road who had fainted (昏厥). He asked the kids not to leave the bus and got down to help the woman.

【答案】Just when he finished, he heard children screaming behind him, “Fire! Fire! Help!” After seeing children looking out of the window and screaming, he was in a cold sweat from extreme horror and nearly fell apart. But as soon as he realized it was his responsibility to save children, a sense of calmness immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in his mind. Peter took out his phone right away and dialed 911. Then without hesitation, he rushed to the flaming bus at the risk of his life, trying to take the children out of the bus.
Thankfully, the firefighters arrived soon and helped Peter save all children. Thank goodness, the fire was put out in time and no one was hurt. When children’s parents and Mr. Clark hurriedly came to the scene and saw children were safe and sound, they were all relieved. They showed their gratitude to Peter. But Peter said it was his responsibility. Mr. Clark clapped for Peter and said, “You are a hero, Peter! You are the best driver. We hope you can keep the job!” Hearing that, Peter was wild with joy, a wave of happiness flooding over him.
