David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset, which reminded David of his middle school days. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter for the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “Well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. Encouraged by Mrs. Brown’s feedback, David began writing short stories and seeking her advice. She always corrected his mistakes and provided valuable suggestions. Over time, David’s confidence grew, and he eventually joined the school newspaper as an editor. After graduating from college, David continued writing and eventually published his first book. His success as a writer was largely due to Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. Without her support, he might have had a very different life. Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He approached the woman and her son, smiling warmly. He introduced himself and gently spoke to the boy, “You know, I used to feel the same way, but someone believed in me, and it changed everything. You have potential too, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” The boy’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, and David left knowing he had planted a seed of confidence that might one day grow into a mighty oak. The mother, upon hearing David’s story, felt ashamed of her behavior and realized the impact her words had on her son. David’s encounter with the boy reminded him of the power of encouragement and the difference it can make in someone’s life. He vowed to continue spreading positivity and confidence wherever he went. 41. How did the boy feel after hearing the woman’s words? A. Unhappy and bothered. B. Confident and calm. C. Joyful and relaxed. D. Uncomfortable and angry. 42. Why did David lack self-confidence in middle school? A. He was often abused by his classmates. B. He was often laughed at by others. C. He didn’t like his teachers. D. He had learning disabilities. 43. How did Mrs. Brown’s comment affect David? A. It made him angry. B. It made him sad. C. It gave him self-confidence. D. It gave him enough experience. 44. According to David, what was the reason for his success? A. His own talent and hard work. B. His parents’ support and deep love. C. Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. D. Mrs. Brown’s constant complaint. 45. How did the mother feel upon hearing David’s story? A. Proud of her son for the success. B. Happy that David had changed. C. Indifferent to the entire situation. D. Regretful about her behavior. C In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, the significance of green spaces in cities is often underestimated. These areas, which include parks, gardens, and tree - lined streets, offer far more than just a pleasant view. Green spaces act as natural air purifiers. Trees and plants absorb harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter from the air. A study by the University of Washington found that a single mature tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This not only improves the air quality but also reduces the risk of respiratory diseases among city residents. Moreover, green spaces contribute to the regulation of the urban micro - climate. In hot summer months, the presence of trees and vegetation can lower the temperature in a city by several degrees through a process called evapotranspiration. This is when plants release water vapor into the air, cooling the surrounding environment. In contrast, in winter, green spaces can act as windbreaks, reducing the impact of cold winds. Mental health benefits are another crucial aspect of urban green spaces. Spending time in nature has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. A research project in the Netherlands showed that people who lived near green spaces had a 15% lower risk of developing mental health problems. The calming effect of greenery, the sounds of birds, and the opportunity to relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life all contribute to improved mental well - being. In addition, green spaces are important for biodiversity. They provide habitats for various species of birds, insects, and small mammals. For example, a small urban park can be home to dozens of bird species, which play a role in pollination and controlling insect populations. However, many cities are facing the challenge of limited green spaces due to rapid urban development. High - rise buildings and expanding infrastructure often replace parks and gardens. To address this, city planners are now emphasizing the importance of incorporating green spaces into urban design. This includes creating rooftop gardens, pocket parks, and green corridors. 46. What can we learn from the study by the University of Washington? A. Trees can absorb all kinds of pollutants. B. A mature tree can absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide annually. C. The more trees there are, the lower the temperature will be. D. Trees are the only way to improve air quality. 47. How do green spaces regulate the urban micro-climate? A. They make the city warmer in summer and cooler in winter. B. They release harmful pollutants in winter. C. They lower the temperature in summer through evapotranspiration. D. They increase the impact of cold winds in winter. 48. What does the underlined word “hustle and bustle” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A Peace and quiet. B. Crowded and noisy activity. C. Natural beauty. D. Mental stress. 49. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Green spaces have no impact on the urban economy. B. Cities with more green spaces will have fewer birds. C. Rooftop gardens are not a good solution to the lack of green spaces. D. Protecting and creating green spaces is necessary for urban development. 50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The impact of urban development on green spaces B. The multiple functions and the significance of urban green spaces C. The comparison between urban green spaces and other urban facilities D. The challenges and solutions faced by urban green spaces D Sleep is a fundamental aspect of human life that we all experience, yet it remains one of the most mysterious processes in our bodies. Scientists have been studying sleep for decades, and while they have made significant progress, there is still much we don’t know. During sleep, the body undergoes a series of complex physiological changes. One of the most noticeable changes is the drop in body temperature. As we drift off to sleep, our body temperature begins to gradually decrease, reaching its lowest point in the early hours of the morning. This drop in temperature is regulated by the body’s internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm. Brain activity also changes significantly during sleep. In the initial stages, brain waves slow down, and as we enter deeper sleep, a type of brain wave called delta waves becomes prominent. These slow-wave sleep stages are crucial for physical restoration. It’s during this time that the body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and releases growth hormone. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is another important stage. During REM sleep, the eyes move rapidly, and the brain is highly active, almost as active as when we are awake. This is the stage when most vivid dreams occur. REM sleep is also thought to play a vital role in memory consolidation. Research has shown that people who are deprived of REM sleep have difficulty retaining new information. However, many people today suffer from sleep problems. Insomnia, the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, is one of the most common sleep disorders. Stress, anxiety, and the overuse of electronic devices before bed are some of the main causes. Another disorder is sleep apnea, where a person’s breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, which can lead to fatigue and other health issues. Understanding sleep is not only important for our physical and mental health but also for our daily functioning. By getting enough quality sleep, we can improve our cognitive abilities, enhance our mood, and reduce the risk of various health problems. 51 What happens to the body temperature during sleep? A. It remains constant throughout the night. B. It gradually increases until dawn. C. It drops and reaches its lowest point in the early morning. D. It spikes during REM sleep. 52. Why is slow-wave sleep important? A. Because it is when the most vivid dreams occur. B. Because the body repairs tissues and strengthens the immune system during this stage. C. Because the eyes move rapidly, which is good for eye health. D. Because it helps in reducing stress levels. 53. What can be inferred from the passage about REM sleep? A. People who get more REM sleep are always more intelligent. B. Skipping REM sleep for one night won’t affect a person at all. C. REM sleep is closely related to the process of memory formation. D. REM sleep only occurs in adults. 54. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. The different stages of sleep and common sleep problems. B. How to improve the quality of sleep. C. The importance of body temperature regulation during sleep. D. The history of sleep research. 55. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To persuade people to sleep more. B. To explain the process of sleep, importance, and common problems. C. To introduce the latest research findings on sleep. D. To show the relationship between sleep and mental health. 四.阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 I had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years. I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving. I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed. The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to arrange an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview. Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position. I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and what price he had paid for doing so. I appreciate being able to live in Australia and believe that this appreciation is best proved by offering acts of kindness to people in need of help. The smile of appreciation from this man continues to impel me to give, which is a very happy and enjoyable process, during which I also receive some unexpected things, such as help, prize, flowers, love and so on. 56.
