Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
C
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
8. What is the book aimed at?
A. Teaching critical thinking skills. B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C. Solving philosophical problems. D. Promoting the use of a digital device.
9. What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Clear-up. B. Add-on. C. Check-in. D. Take-over.
10. What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A. Theoretical models. B. Statistical methods.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical analyses.
11. What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?
A. Use them as needed. B. Recommend them to friends.
C. Evaluate their effects. D. Identify the ideas behind them.
D
To hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime. While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online, assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.
As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way. My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now) best friend, during the university exam period. We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages, set a study date, and haven’t looked back since.
Drawn to each other by similar circumstances friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe they’ve read the post on Instagram. Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics. Or maybe they just love memes too. If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.
Despite my positive experiences when I tell people, most are still suspicious. Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too. Actually, these are just as valid as other friendships, according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings, who says online friendships can be real.
So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because you’re popular on Instagram? Hemmings has simple rules. She tells me, “You have to equally feel comfortable that you’re getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isn’t friendship.”
Therefore, if all a “friend” online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship. On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of friends.
12 What is most people’s attitude towards online friendship?
A. Negative.
B. Positive.
C. Objective.
D. Neutral.
13. Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the background information of the text.
B. To convey the writer’s attitude and give the related example.
C. To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.
D. To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.
14. How can online and offline friendships be deepened?
A. They should be based on shared interest.
B. They need to have common ground.
C. They require support from each other.
D. They can’t live without social media.
15. According to the author, what’s the golden rule to make friends online?
A. A friend to all is a friend to none.
B. Without confidence there is no friendship.
C. A friend without faults will never be found.
D. Friendship cannot stand always on one side.

____19____ They are vital to sustaining our mental health. People who made a conscious effort each day to spend time doing hobbies (no matter what they were) showed an average boost of 8% in well-being and a 10% drop in stress and anxiety, according to a 2023 study published in the Journal of Personality. “In general, humans need meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ____20____” says Dr Hafeez, who has led several massive studies on hobbies. “Engaging in what you enjoy greatly enhances your well-being.”
With all these visible benefits of hobbies why not just make time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment every day?
A. The science backs this up.
B. Hobbies make us happier.
C. You gain a lot from hobbies.
D. Nothing could be further from the truth.
E. The more you engage in hobbies, the longer you will live.
F. A different study conducted last year confirmed the impact.
G. And being able to pursue your passion really contributes to that.

So I asked Parker what ____26____ he most wanted in a potential new employee. I expected a list of ____27____ skills — especially since Parker is an engineer himself — but I was quite ____28____.
“First, I look for someone who asks good ____29____,” Parker responded. “Our business is changing, and so are the skills of our engineers, we can teach them the technical stuff. But for ____30____ willing to solve problems or to learn new things, they have to know what questions to ask. And we can’t teach them how to ask good questions — how to ____31____. The ability to ask the right questions ____32____ good thinking ability, the most important quality.”
Indeed, the ability to ask good questions has been a repeated ____33____ in today’s workplace. It ____34____ that asking good questions goes hand in hand with the problems-solving ability in the ____35____ of most employers.

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
注意:续写词数应为150左右
Paragraph 1: The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of performance came.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life

The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
8. What is the book aimed at?
A. Teaching critical thinking skills. B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C. Solving philosophical problems. D. Promoting the use of a digital device.
9. What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Clear-up. B. Add-on. C. Check-in. D. Take-over.
10. What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A. Theoretical models. B. Statistical methods.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical analyses.
11. What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?
A. Use them as needed. B. Recommend them to friends.
C. Evaluate their effects. D. Identify the ideas behind them.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A

(在第一部分的最后一章中,我将指导您进行自己的数字清理。在这样做的过程中,我将借鉴我在2018年进行的一项实验,在该实验中,1600多人同意进行数字清理)”可推知,第一部分的最后一章介绍了实验与数字清理的实际例子。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances. (你可以将这些实践视为一个工具箱,旨在帮助你建立一种适合自己特定情况的极简主义生活方式)”可推知,作者建议读者根据需要与实际情况使用第二部分中提及的实践。故选A。

To hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime. While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online, assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.
As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way. My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now) best friend, during the university exam period. We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages, set a study date, and haven’t looked back since.
Drawn to each other by similar circumstances, friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe they’ve read the post on Instagram. Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics. Or maybe they just love memes too. If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.
Despite my positive experiences when I tell people most are still suspicious. Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too. Actually, these are just as valid as other friendships, according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings, who says online friendships can be real.
So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because you’re popular on Instagram? Hemmings has simple rules. She tells me, “You have to equally feel comfortable that you’re getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isn’t friendship.”
Therefore, if all a “friend” online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship. On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of friends.
12 What is most people’s attitude towards online friendship?
A. Negative.
B. Positive.
C. Objective.
D. Neutral.
13. Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the background information of the text.
B. To convey the writer’s attitude and give the related example.
C. To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.
D. To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.
14. How can online and offline friendships be deepened?
A. They should be based on shared interest.
B. They need to have common ground.
C. They require support from each other.
D. They can’t live without social media.
15. According to the author, what’s the golden rule to make friends online?
A. A friend to all is a friend to none.
B. Without confidence there is no friendship.
C. A friend without faults will never be found.
D. Friendship cannot stand always on one side.

【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者对于网络交友的看法。作者表明了自己对于网络交友的积极态度,并用自己的实际经验强力证明了网络交友给自己带来的乐趣,同时,作者阐述了网络交友的基础和原则:相互支持。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“To hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime.(听到人们谈论网络友谊,你会认为这是一个巨大的猫钓鱼和电子犯罪网络。)”可知,当人们谈论网络友谊时,会认为这是一个骗局或网络犯罪行为,由此可推知,大多数人对网上交友抱有消极的态度。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。通过阅读文章第二段内容内容可知,该段中作者以自己的亲身经历作为例子应是为了证明支持该段的论点,即,首句“As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way.(作为一名在创意行业工作的女性,我从寻找一个在其他地方找不到的社区中找到了真正的快乐,并在此过程中交到了一些好朋友。)”。作者在网上找到了很多的乐趣并举了自己的例子作为强有力的例证,由此可推知,作者用自己的亲身经历表达了自己对于网上交友的积极态度。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.(如果网上的友谊和线下的友谊开始时很相似,那么它们也以同样的方式成长。通常是通过相互支持:除了给朋友打电话祝贺他找到了新工作,你还会转发他的笑话,赞扬他的Instagram故事。)”可知,线上线下的友谊如果要进一步发展或加深,通常是通过相互支持。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾内容作者对于网络交友的总结“Therefore, if all a ‘friend’ online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship.(因此,如果网上的“朋友”要求你做的只是推广他们的作品或个人品牌,并且很少对你感兴趣,那么就有可能质疑这种友谊的基础了。)”可知,只是单方面对人提出“商业”要求的网络朋友,不是真正的朋友,因此可推知,在作者看来,网络交友的黄金法则应是“朋友应该是双方的(相互支持),友谊不能总是在一方(的付出)”。故选D项。

The point is that nearly all hobbies can provide measurable positive health benefits.
If we regularly spend time on hobbies, we usually enjoy a higher level of fitness. ____17____. A 2023 comprehensive analysis of multiple studies found strong evidence that engaging in leisure activities can improve health by protecting against heart disease and age-related problems.

____19____ They are vital to sustaining our mental health. People who made a conscious effort each day to spend time doing hobbies (no matter what they were) showed an average boost of 8% in well-being and a 10% drop in stress and anxiety, according to a 2023 study published in the Journal of Personality. “In general, humans need meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ____20____” says Dr Hafeez, who has led several massive studies on hobbies. “Engaging in what you enjoy greatly enhances your well-being.”
With all these visible benefits of hobbies, why not just make time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment every day?
A. The science backs this up.
B. Hobbies make us happier.
C. You gain a lot from hobbies.
D. Nothing could be further from the truth.
E. The more you engage in hobbies, the longer you will live.
F. A different study conducted last year confirmed the impact.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了《黑神话:悟空》这一虚构作品的主要情节、角色和故事发展。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在史诗般的《黑神话:悟空》中,读者将被带进一个充满神秘生物和古老魔法的世界。空处引导定语从句,先行词是world,关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语,使用关系副词where引导,故填where。
【37题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:悟空的故事中最激动人心的部分之一是悟空面临终极挑战——与强大的魔王作战。空处为表语从句的引导词;表语从句中缺少主语,表示物,用what引导。故填what。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这场战斗发生在一个隐藏的王国,只有最勇敢和最熟练的冒险家才能进入。修饰名词kingdom,用形容词hidden“隐形的,隐秘的;不易察觉的”,作定语,故填hidden。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:同上。空处应填形容词作表语,故填accessible。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:悟空第一次尝试打败魔王,遭到了激烈的抵抗。抽象名词attempt后使用动词不定式作后置定语,故填to defeat。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:尽管受了重伤,他还是拒绝放弃。空处修饰形容词injured,应用副词形式severely“严重地”,故填severely。
42题详解】
考查名词。句意:悟空利用了他内心的力量和智慧。空处作宾语,前面有形容词修饰,应填名词形式strength“力量”,故填strength。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:到目前为止,悟空已经完成了无数的任务,每个任务都旨在考验他的能力和决心。结合短语(be) aimed at doing sth“目的是/旨在做某事”,故填at。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:他的旅程充满了危险和不确定性,但他的决心从未动摇。主语journey和fill之间是被动关系,结合句意和下一个分句中“has never wavered”可知,此处描述过去发生的动作对现在的影响,使用现在完成时,主语表示单数意义,助动词使用has,故填has been filled。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这场战斗的结果仍然是个谜,但有一件事是肯定的——悟空的传奇将继续激励一代又一代的读者。此处泛指“一个谜”,使用不定冠词修饰,mystery以辅音音素开头,故填a。

47. 读后续写
Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.

【答案】 The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr. Buttler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part-your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.
Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel!
