If not for Hui and Wei’s slow speech and actions, you might not notice anything special. But in fact, you are served by “Xin Youth (心青年)”, young adults with intellectual (心智) disabilities. In 2023, the cafe was founded by Hu Hong, who also created the AiTe Learning Center for intellectually disabled children. For 19 years, AiTe has helped over 2, 000 children join regular schools. As these children grew up, new worries rose as they needed ways to make it in the real world. Hu opened 1017 Cafe with six “Xin Youth” baristas and taught them practical skills. Her goal is to create a model that can be repeated to help more Xin Youth find real jobs and feel valued. Considering the Café’s special nature, customers are usually patient with small mistakes. However, Hu strongly believe that customers should not come out of pity. The cafe has a strict “101” rule: each drink must be made 100 times before it can be sold at full price. “I always tell our baristas that independence is made, not given.” said Hu. Nearly a year later, the café can now run on its income, showing that Hu’s idea is successful. 31. What is special about 1017 Cafe? A Drinks. B. Baristas. C. Smells. D. Service. 32.

He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity (相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to health organizations, daydreaming for a while each day can improve your emotional (情绪的) health and creativity. ★ . For example, after a long day at work or a disagreement with a friend, let your mind fly away to the picture of a big meal or the friend’s smiling face. Imagining how you’re going to speak in public is like having practiced the scene in your head before for many times, which can make you feel calmer. A couple of minutes to let your minds wander (漫游) and hope for good things to happen lower negative (消极的) thinking. Guo Qiang, a psychologist, suggests we should make time to daydream. “It can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings.” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Daydreaming inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve “had a dream”. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where you go in the new world. 36. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A. B. C. D. 37. What BIG question does Paragraph 2 answer? A. What is daydreaming? B. When do you daydream? C. Where do you daydream? D. How does daydreaming help you? 38. Daydreaming can make people ________. a. fly around b. think freely c. walk slowly d. feel calmer e. think ahead f. inspire creativity A. a, b, f B. b, c, d C. a, c, f D. b, d, e 39. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Daydreaming makes you forget difficult things. B. Daydreaming means unreal but joyful things. C. Daydreaming about something pleasant helps you deal with worries and stress. D. Daydreaming encourages you to finish the impossible. 40. According to Para. 5, daydreaming is talked about ________. A. to advise people to have a mind break B. to suggest living at the moment C. to find solutions to homework problems D. to show a science research result 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了阿尔伯特．爱因斯坦在16岁时，想象自己沿着一束光线骑行的故事，并将这个想象用于他的相对论理论的推导中。文章强调了想象力的重要性，认为它比知识更重要。 【36题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段由爱因斯坦将想象力用于他的相对论理论的推导中引入话题，然后第二段具体阐述了做白日梦的具体含义及意义，并由此引出接下来三段内容具体的做法。结构符合选项B所示。故选B。 【37题详解】 段落大意题。分析第二段内容可知，主要介绍了什么是白日梦及其意义。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas...”可知，它可以让人们自由地思考；根据“Imagining how you’re going to speak in public is like having practiced the scene in your head before for many times, which can make you feel calmer.”可知，它可以让人们感到更镇定；根据“It means thinking ahead...”可知，它可以让人提前思考。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据下文“For example, after a long day at work or a disagreement with a friend, let your mind fly away to the picture of a big meal or the friend’s smiling face.”可知，前面应该说的是白日梦可以帮助人们带走忧愁和烦恼。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where you go in the new world.”可知，这里想说的是通过白日梦来让大脑得到片刻的放松。故选A。 第II卷 (非选择题 共40分) 五、词与短语填空 (共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有二个单词或短语是多余的。) asleep / influencing / worrying / requiring / deal with / keep away from / fail You may know about “junk food” like French fries, but what about “junk sleep”?

The creation comes from Sumwalt Run, a real river that disappeared 200 years ago. By drawing its place from an 1870s map, Willen rediscovered the river’s history and how his home has changed. Wood and Wave Photographer Glescher used dead woods to create wave-like shapes in a forest. The photos of his work are then shown in New York University.

B The rich smell of fresh coffee and handmade desserts hits your nose as you step inside 1017 Cafe on Gaoxiong Road, Wuhan. “Hello, what would you like to order?” Hui, the 19-year-old barista (咖啡师), cheerfully asks. After taking the order, he slowly repeats it to Wei, another staff member. “An iced latte!” Wei repeats loudly and carefully prepares your drink, ensuring every step is perfect and the service is friendly. If not for Hui and Wei’s slow speech and actions, you might not notice anything special. But in fact, you are served by “Xin Youth (心青年)”, young adults with intellectual (心智) disabilities. In 2023, the cafe was founded by Hu Hong, who also created the AiTe Learning Center for intellectually disabled children. For 19 years, AiTe has helped over 2, 000 children join regular schools. As these children grew up, new worries rose as they needed ways to make it in the real world. Hu opened 1017 Cafe with six “Xin Youth” baristas and taught them practical skills. Her goal is to create a model that can be repeated to help more Xin Youth find real jobs and feel valued. Considering the Café’s special nature, customers are usually patient with small mistakes. However, Hu strongly believe that customers should not come out of pity. The cafe has a strict “101” rule: each drink must be made 100 times before it can be sold at full price. “I always tell our baristas that independence is made, not given.” said Hu. Nearly a year later, the café can now run on its income, showing that Hu’s idea is successful. 31. What is special about 1017 Cafe? A. Drinks. B. Baristas. C. Smells. D. Service. 32. Why did Hu Hong open the café? A. To set up an example. B. To create jobs for baristas. C. To help disabled children. D. To support the AiTe center. 33. Through the “101” rule, the café teaches Xin Youth that ________. A. they cannot make any small mistakes B. they should not depend on others’ pity C. they must not sell coffee at full price D. they need to work harder to learn more 34. What progress has the café made in a year? A. It has become a business success. B. It has won customers’ patience. C. It can support itself now. D. It stopped following the “101” rule. 35. What would be the best titles of this passage? A. Help Xin Youth Baristas B. Independence Given C. A Dream Café D. Coffee with Care C When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity (相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to health organizations, daydreaming for a while each day can improve your emotional (情绪的) health and creativity. ★ . For example, after a long day at work or a disagreement with a friend, let your mind fly away to the picture of a big meal or the friend’s smiling face. Imagining how you’re going to speak in public is like having practiced the scene in your head before for many times, which can make you feel calmer. A couple of minutes to let your minds wander (漫游) and hope for good things to happen lower negative (消极的) thinking. Guo Qiang, a psychologist, suggests we should make time to daydream. “It can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings.” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Daydreaming inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve “had a dream”. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where you go in the new world. 36. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A. B. C. D. 37. What BIG question does Paragraph 2 answer? A. What is daydreaming? B. When do you daydream? C. Where do you daydream? D. How does daydreaming help you? 38. Daydreaming can make people ________. a. fly around b. think freely c. walk slowly d feel calmer e. think ahead f. inspire creativity A. a, b, f B. b, c, d C. a, c, f D. b, d, e 39. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Daydreaming makes you forget difficult things. B. Daydreaming means unreal but joyful things. C. Daydreaming about something pleasant helps you deal with worries and stress. D. Daydreaming encourages you to finish the impossible. 40. According to Para. 5, daydreaming is talked about ________. A. to advise people to have a mind break B. to suggest living at the moment C. to find solutions to homework problems D. to show a science research result 第II卷 (非选择题 共40分) 五、词与短语填空 (共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有二个单词或短语是多余的。) asleep / influencing / worrying / requiring / deal with / keep away from / fail You may know about “junk food” like French fries, but what about “junk sleep”?
