Anne of Green Gables is a book written by the popular writer Lucy Maud Montgomery. It has been loved by many generations of readers because its story is warm and the characters are so lively. When you start reading it, it feels like you go to the beautiful Prince Edward Island in Canada.
On this island, there lives Anne Shirley, an orphan girl. She is very creative but also feels lonely sometimes. Anne often has some unique and imaginative ideas. For example, she can turn an ordinary tea party into a magical adventure just by using her own ideas. She also likes to share her stories and thoughts with others. This makes the people around her very happy.
The story starts with Anne being adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. They actually wanted to adopt a boy to help with farm work, but they got Anne by mistake. However, Anne brings a lot of active energy to their lives.
One great thing about this novel is that it shows how Anne changes and grows. The author shows Anne’s journey from childhood to young adulthood through her different experiences, like making friends, falling in love, and dealing with loss. This story can not only entertain readers but also teach them some valuable lessons about life. What’s more, it tells us that learning is not just about schoolwork. It also includes growing morally and emotionally. We can clearly see this from Anne’s experiences. Her getting along with her new family and community, together with her teachers’ patience, her friends’ friendship, and her adoptive family’s love, all help her grow. This shows the importance of education in daily life and relationships.
The author also writes about the change in Anne’s attitude. She used to care a lot about her appearance. But later, she learned to accept her own uniqueness. This is shown in the words: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” These words show her happiness with simple things in life and her joy of being herself.
Readers all around the world like this novel because it has a lasting appeal. In a recent survey, more than 80% of readers said they were deeply touched by Anne’s story. Mark Twain said Anne was “the dearest and most delightful child since Alice.” Some scholars like Zhou Guoping have noticed that Anne has two precious qualities: a sense of wonder about life and an optimistic imagination. Bianca Schulze, the founder of The Children’s Book Review, says that readers are closely connected to Anne’s spirit of perseverance and optimism. This can really give people inspiration.
When I close the book, the vivid scenery of Prince Edward Island and the deep thoughts about human nature and life remain in my mind. Like Anne, each of us has dreams and also faces difficulties. We all hope to find a place where we belong. This novel teaches us how to face life. Even when reality makes us feel a little down, we should not be afraid. Just as Anne might say, “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” This message makes the book very valuable for anyone who starts their journey of self-discovery.
23. What makes Anne of Green Gables popular among readers?
A. The beautiful island. B. Its plots and roles.
C. Its famous author. D. The creative girl in it.
24. What does Anne’s growth mainly benefit from according to paragraph 4?
A. Her unique ideas. B. The island’s beautiful scenery.
C. Her interactions with others. D. Her learning from loss.
25. What does the underlined word “This” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Anne’s love for appearance. B. The acceptance of herself.
C. The change in her attitude. D. Effects of simple things on Anne.
26. What is the genre of the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A novel collection.
C. A children’s story. D. A book review.

The smartphone, once seen as a sign of progress, is now less popular. New students at Eton College can’t bring their own phones and will get “dumb” Nokia phones that can only make calls and send texts. Also, about two-thirds of high schools now have rules against using smartphones during school hours.
But when we grow up, is it okay to use social media for fun in our free time? A study in April found that spending 20 minutes on social media or watching YouTube videos can help reduce stress. And nearly 60% of people said they felt happy using Instagram.
However, we need to know the difference between real relaxation and just scrolling (浏览) through social media without a purpose. Spending time with family, enjoying nature, or reading a book gives us true relaxation and makes us feel good. But looking at our phones without thinking can make us feel bad.
We should also be aware of the long-term effects of always wanting fun and excitement from our smartphones. A psychiatrist (精神病学家) named Anna Lembke says in her book that always seeking stimulation from our phones can make us addicted, and it’s harder to enjoy simpler things. Moreover, never taking a break from this constant stimulation means we miss out on the benefits of having a quiet mind that helps us be creative and think deeply.
Remember, if you are not paying for it then you are the product. The marketplace of attention is constantly fine-tuning the ways they appeal to our brain. We must learn to get more creative and intentional about the ways we choose to relax and perhaps, even, to turn to some good old-fashioned boredom.
27. What is special about “dumb” Nokia phones in paragraph 1?
A. It can’t speak at all.
B. It fails to offer games.
C. Its users are unable to contact others.
D. Its users are denied access to Internet.
28. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 3?
A. Positive feelings provided by social media.
B. Benefits of relaxation for time-poor adults.
C. Ways to tell true relaxation from false ones.
D. Popularity of Instagram among adult users.
29. What is Anna Lembke’s view on endlessly seeking stimulation from smartphones?
A. It boosts brain development.
B It offers relaxation for brain.
C. It leads to addiction and creativity.
D. It blocks joy from less exciting things.
30. What does the first sentence in the last paragraph imply?
A. Free services cost nothing. B. Attention is a free resource.
C. Users are being marketed to. D. Products are always paid for.

62. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Matt was the best hitter in the team. But a week ago, he was hit by a high ball from Travis Barnes, a member of the opposing team — Giants. He was sent to the hospital. Though the doctor said he was fine, he was still having a shadow (阴影).
“I don’t want to push you,” Coach said, “but you’ re our best hitter. We really want you to come back in the game.” Matt wanted to say no, but Coach looked so hopeful-and Matt was running out of excuses.
The memory of being hit was still fresh, making him frightened. Matt’s thoughts were interrupted by George, the team’s second-best hitter. He sat down beside him. “I’m glad you’re playing the Giants again on Saturday. I can’t wait to see Travis’s face when you walk up to the field,” he went on cheerfully. “It’ll be payback time.”
Matt realized that there was no way out. If he didn’t face Travis, everyone would think Matt was a coward.
Saturday came soon. Matt took a deep breath and headed for the field. The crowd shouted encouragement. But the first pitch (投球) caught Matt off-guard (不提防). He jumped back, worried to be hit again. A roar of laughter went through the crowd. Travis was probably laughing at him too, Matt thought to himself.
But then it seemed there was something wrong with Travis. He made so many mistakes that the Giants’ coach had to call time-out(暂停). Even if there was a talk with the coach, Travis’s skills were declining. Matt swung the bat and the ball dropped in front of the center fielder. Riley raced home, beating a close throw. Payback! Matt’s team scored a point and then another two. Soon they won the game! The crowd cheered. Matt stood at first base, relieved. But he slightly felt there was something wrong with Travis.
注意:1.续写词数应为80左右;
2.开头已给出。
After the game, Matt found Travis on the baseball field looking sad.

【61题答案】
【答案】Dear Bob,
I’m writing to share with you the reading program our class had this term. We read the English book Anne of Green Gables both in and out of class. We had group discussions and shared our thoughts. We also wrote book reviews and made presentations about our understanding of the story and the characters.
I gained a great deal from this activity. Not only did my English proficiency improve significantly, especially in terms of vocabulary and comprehension skills, but I also developed a deeper appreciation for literature. Moreover, through discussions with my classmates, I learned to view the story from different perspectives and appreciate the diversity of thoughts. It was truly a wonderful and enriching experience.
Yours,
Li Bao’an

【62题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
After the game, Matt found Travis on the baseball field looking sad. Approaching him, Matt noticed Travis’s distress. “You okay?” he asked gently. Travis sighed, admitting his poor performance. “I’ve been off since that hit,” he confessed. Matt reassured him, “It was an accident; everyone has bad days.” Travis looked relieved, acknowledging his mistake and impact on Matt. “I didn’t mean to affect you,” Travis said. Matt smiled, easing the tension. “It’s in the past. We both love this game.” They shared a moment of mutual respect. Travis stood up, proposing they play without pressure next time. “Deal,” Matt agreed, feeling a bond with his former rival, both ready to move forward with respect and understanding.
