My grandfather was a strong man. He worked as a carpenter all his life. One day, when he was in his late seventies, he told me about an incident that happened when he was a teenager. He was walking in the woods one afternoon and came across a small, injured bird. It had fallen from its nest and couldn't fly. My grandfather, with his kind heart, decided to take it home and nurse it back to health. He made a little box for it and fed it every day. After a few weeks, the bird was fully recovered and could fly again. My grandfather took it outside and set it free. As he watched the bird soar into the sky, he felt a great sense of satisfaction. Years later, during a particularly harsh winter, my grandfather was out in the forest cutting wood. The snow was deep, and it was very cold. Suddenly, he heard a familiar chirping sound. Looking up, he saw a bird flying above him. It circled around him a few times and then dropped a small twig at his feet. My grandfather was amazed. He believed it was the same bird he had saved all those years ago, now coming back to show its gratitude. 24.What was the grandfather's occupation? A. A doctor. B. A carpenter. C. A farmer. D. A teacher. 25.What did the grandfather do when he found the injured bird? A. He left it in the woods. B. He took it to a vet. C. He took it home and cared for it. D. He ignored it. 26.How did the grandfather feel when he set the bird free? A. Sad. B. Worried. C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed. 27.What happened during the harsh winter? A. The grandfather got lost in the forest. B. The bird came back to help the grandfather. C. The grandfather saved another injured bird. D. The bird brought the grandfather some food. Solar energy is a renewable and clean source of power. It is derived from the sun's radiation and can be converted into electricity or heat. There are several ways to harness solar energy. One common method is through the use of solar panels. These panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that absorb sunlight and convert it directly into electricity. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops of houses, buildings, or in large solar farms. They are becoming increasingly popular as they can significantly reduce electricity bills and carbon emissions. Another way to use solar energy is for heating water. Solar water heaters work by absorbing sunlight to heat water in a tank. This heated water can then be used for domestic purposes such as bathing, washing dishes, and heating the house. Solar water heaters are energy-efficient and cost-effective in the long run. However, the use of solar energy also has some limitations. The amount of solar energy available depends on the weather and the time of day. On cloudy days or at night, the production of electricity or heat from solar energy is reduced. Additionally, the initial cost of installing solar panels or solar water heaters can be relatively high, although the long-term savings usually outweigh the initial investment. 28.What is solar energy? A. A non-renewable energy source. B. An energy source derived from the earth's core. C. A clean and renewable energy source from the sun. D. An energy source that is only used for heating. 29.How do solar panels work? A. They absorb moonlight and convert it into electricity. B. They use wind power to generate electricity. C. They are made of cells that convert sunlight into electricity. D. They store electricity from the power grid. 30.What is an advantage of solar water heaters? A. They are very cheap to install. B. They can only be used in summer. C. They are energy-efficient and cost-effective. D. They require a lot of maintenance. 31.What are the limitations of solar energy? A. It is too expensive to use. B. It is not affected by the weather. C. The initial cost is high and it depends on the weather. D. It produces too much pollution. Positive thinking is a mental attitude that focuses on the good and expects favorable outcomes. It is not about denying the existence of problems but rather approaching them with a constructive mindset. One of the most significant benefits of positive thinking is its impact on mental health. People who maintain a positive outlook tend to have lower levels of stress and anxiety. When faced with a difficult situation, instead of panicking, they are more likely to see it as a challenge to overcome. For example, a student who has a positive attitude towards exams will view them as an opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills, rather than a source of dread. Positive thinking also enhances physical health. Research has shown that individuals with a positive mindset have stronger immune systems. They are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors such as regular exercise and a balanced diet. This is because they have a more optimistic view of their lives and believe that taking care of themselves is worth the effort. In the workplace, positive thinking can lead to greater success. Employers value employees who have a can - do attitude. Such employees are more creative, collaborative, and persistent. They are not easily discouraged by setbacks and are willing to learn from their mistakes. A positive - thinking salesperson, for instance, will see rejection as a step closer to a successful sale, as they believe that each "no" brings them nearer to a "yes." However, it's important to note that positive thinking is not a magic wand that can solve all problems. It should be accompanied by practical actions. One can't simply wish for a good grade on an exam without studying or expect a promotion without putting in the work. But when combined with effort and determination, positive thinking can be a powerful tool for achieving our goals. 32.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Positive thinking can solve all problems. B. The importance and benefits of positive thinking and its combination with action. C. Positive thinking is only good for mental health. D. People with positive thinking don't face difficulties. 33.According to the passage, how does positive thinking affect mental health? A. It makes people ignore problems. B. It helps people see difficulties as challenges and reduces stress and anxiety. C. It makes people over - confident. D. It causes more stress as people try to always be positive. 34.In the workplace, positive - thinking employees ______. A. are easily discouraged B. are less creative C. value setbacks more D. are more likely to succeed 35.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Positive thinking has nothing to do with physical health. B. Positive thinking alone is enough to achieve goals. C. A positive - thinking student will be afraid of exams. D. Positive thinking accompanied by practical actions is more effective. 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 to Make the Most of Your College Visit College visits are important. 36._____ It can also help you decide if the college is a good fit for you.

Old George had died the previous week of a heart attack，so the wolf was lucky.Confused and frightened at my approach，the wolf backed away.Then I noticed something else: It was a female，and her teats were full of milk.Somewhere there was a den of hungry pups(小狼) waiting for their mother. From her appearance，I guessed that she had been trapped only a few days.That meant her pups were probably still alive.But I suspected that if I tried to release the wolf，she would turn aggressive and try to tear me to pieces. So I decided to search for her pups instead and began to look for tracks that might lead me to her den.Fortunately，there were still a few remaining patches of snow.After several moments，I spotted pups’ marks on a trail. The tracks led a half mile through the forest，then up a slope covered with many rocks.I finally spotted the den at the base of an enormous spruce.There wasn’t a sound inside.Wolf pups are shy and cautious，and I didn’t have much hope of inviting them outside，but I had to try.So I began imitating the high­pitched(声音很尖锐的) sound of a mother wolf calling her young.No response.A few moments later，after I tried another call，four tiny pups appeared.They couldn’t have been more than a few weeks old. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 I extended my hands.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　 With her young to protect，she was becoming aggressive.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 听力原文 Text 1 W：Were you born in America，Bob?

They are not easily discouraged by setbacks and are willing to learn from their mistakes.” 可知，在职场中，积极思考的员工更有可能成功，他们有积极进取的态度，更具创造性、合作性和坚持性，不容易被挫折打败，并且愿意从错误中学习。A 选项 “容易气馁” 错误；B 选项 “缺乏创造性” 错误；C 选项 “更重视挫折” 表述不准确，他们是能正确对待挫折，而不是更重视挫折本身。所以 D 选项正确。 35.D。解析：文章最后一段提到 “However, it's important to note that positive thinking is not a magic wand that can solve all problems. It should be accompanied by practical actions.”，说明积极思考不是能解决所有问题的魔法棒，它应该和实际行动相结合，A 选项说积极思考和身体健康无关错误，文中有提到对身体健康的益处；B 选项 “仅靠积极思考就足以实现目标” 错误；C 选项 “一个积极思考的学生会害怕考试” 与原文中 “a student who has a positive attitude towards exams will view them as an opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills, rather than a source of dread” 不符，所以 D 选项正确。 36 题：B。文章开头提到大学访问很重要，空后说它（大学访问）也能帮助你决定这所大学是否适合你。B 选项 “它可以帮助你缩小大学选择范围”，承上启下，说明了大学访问的一个重要作用，符合语境。 37 题：G。空前说在访问之前要彻底研究大学，看大学网站、了解项目和查看校园设施。G 选项 “你也可以在社交媒体或者大学排名网站上寻找对这所大学的评价”，是在介绍另一种在访问前了解大学的方式，与前面的内容并列，符合语境。 38 题：A。空前说校园参观是感受大学的好方式，空后具体讲了导游会带你参观校园的各个地方，A 选项 “你可以从参观中了解到关于这所大学的很多东西”，能够很好地承接上文并引出下文，符合语境。 39 题：E。空前说信息会议通常由招生官或者在校学生主持，空后说他们会谈论大学的入学要求、学术项目等内容。E 选项 “他们会给你提供关于这所大学的有价值的信息”，其中 “他们” 指代前面的招生官或者在校学生，起到了承上启下的作用，符合语境。 40 题：D。空前说和在校学生交谈是了解大学的最好方式之一，空后说你可以问他们关于课程、教授等内容。D 选项 “在访问期间，尽量和尽可能多的学生交谈”，与前后内容紧密相连，强调了和学生交流的重要性，符合语境。 41.

The。解析：这里的水特指前面提到的 “a spring of clear water” 中的水，所以用定冠词 The。 57.who/that。解析：这是一个定语从句，先行词是 “an elder”，在从句中作主语，指人，所以可以用 who 或 that。 58.presented。解析：根据上下文可知，这里是一般过去时，“present sth. to sb.” 意思是 “把某物送给某人”，所以用 presented。 59.warmly。解析：这里需要一个副词来修饰动词 “smiled”，“warm” 的副词形式是 warmly，意思是 “热情地，温暖地”。 60.with。解析：“with a happy heart” 是一个介词短语，在句中作状语，表示伴随的状态，意思是 “怀着愉快的心情”。 61.another。解析：根据语境，老师让另一个学生尝水，“another” 表示 “另一个”，用于三者或三者以上中的另一个。 62.saying。解析：这里是一个伴随状语，“He” 和 “say” 之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词 saying，表示 “他一边吐出水，一边说水很难喝”。 63.it。解析：这里用 it 指代前面提到的 “the water”，作 like 的宾语。 64.sweeter。解析：“Nothing could be + 比较级” 是一种比较结构，意思是 “没有什么比这更……”，这里是说没有什么比这份善意更甜美的了，所以用 sweeter。 65.when。解析：这里是一个时间状语从句，意思是 “当我们收到来自孩子们的爱的礼物时，我们最能理解这个道理”，所以用 when。 第一节【参考范文】 Notice In order to raise students' awareness of healthy living and encourage them to adopt a healthy lifestyle, the Student Union is going to hold an English speech contest on the theme of "Healthy Life".

The Student Union 第二节【参考范文】 I extended my hands.They tentatively sucked at my fingers.Perhaps hunger had helped overcome their natural fear.Then one by one，I placed them in a fur bag and headed back down the slope.When the mother wolf spotted me，she stood up right.Possibly picking up the smell of her young，she let out a high­pitched，plaintive whine.I released the pups，and they raced to her.Within seconds，they were sucking at her belly. With her young to protect，she was becoming aggressive.What next? I wondered.So tender were the pups that it was impossible for them to survive without their mother’s protection.Hence，I had to release her.I fetched an iron bar.Using a rock as the supporting point I unlocked the chain.After gaining freedom，she howled at me with her head low showing gratitude.Watching the mother and her pups disappear in the forest，I let out a sigh of relief. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
