“Every life is a boat, the dream is the boat sail.” Every child has a dream of what they want to be. When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer fire fighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her beloved father died and she was never able to do volunteer work with him. However, Renee’s story didn’t end there. She was determined and never gave up, which makes for a good firefighter.
Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician. She should also be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who’s sick. Sometimes she is in the driver’s seat or using the water pump. Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to care for, as her husband is also a busy fire fighter. Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination.
When I asked Renee what the best part of her job was, she replied, “Helping people and saving lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She’s always willing to do anything for anyone in need. Renee says that her job is frightening at times, but extremely exciting. “The worst part of my job is that I see death. Actually, sometimes people die in the accident, for which I am very sorry.” With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women, but that doesn’t bother her. She says everyone can get a fair shot and do the same jobs.
I was inspired by this because I knew I would be very scared to do her job and didn’t know if I could handle seeing people die. We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives. Renee’s determination rubs off on me and makes me believe that I can do anything.

6. How does Renee think of her job?

C. The author could handle seeing people die. D. Renee encourages the author to risk the life.

A TV series in England, Away from It All, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people.
Its success is surprising because its main character is a shepherd(牧羊人), and the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV. There are also no stressful moments, busy offices, or crowded cities. Away from It All is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories of people’s kindness.
The director of the series says its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. He says that watching Away from It All helps teenagers forget about the pressures of exams and homework and the troubles that fill the world. He also claims that it’s a good sign that today’s youth are switching to happier TV series, as it shows they would like a happier and healthier life.
Although the series’ success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried. They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes(电视迷)and are using Away from It All as an excuse for not completing homework. Some students have even refused to study for exams because they say that they can only achieve happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely.
One mother, Lucy Linney, said of her son Patrick, “Before he started watching Away from It All, he loved challenges and volunteered every afternoon. But now he has become a couch potato. His grades have dropped and he no longer volunteers. He says it doesn’t matter as he just wants to ‘get away from it all’. ”
And what do the experts say? Paula Ray, a doctor, says that TV can influence young people’s lifestyles. But she says that if a young person reacts as strongly as Patrick, it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in the behaviour.
8. What is the TV series Away from It All about?
A. Stressful moments.
B. Simple stories of people in the cities.

B. It drives the public to focus on the health of teenagers.
C. It shows the youth would like a happier and healthier life.
D. It helps teenagers forget about the pressures of study and troubles around.
10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

B. The bad influence of the TV series on teenagers.
C. An excuse for not completing housework.
D. Happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely.

Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does You can potentially remember more by handwriting. according to a new study.
The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?
In total 24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard, While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes (电极) next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors, Those sensors recorded the participants’ brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn’t.
Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on. ” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly. the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down, Then. key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.
This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out. computers and other devices with keyboards have become indispensable in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed. they add.
12. Why did researchers ask participants to wear caps in the study?
A. To prevent them from being hart.
B. To record their brainwaves.
C. To find out their hair’s difference.
D. To test the new products.
13. What can be known about handwriting?
A. It detects your memories for further recalling.
B. It reminds you to have regular reviews.
C. It helps us remember more details.
D. It eases your tension of memorizing things.
14. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Necessary. B. Amazing. C. Precious. D. Relaxing.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Can We Grasp New Knowledge?
B. Handwriting Helps Us Keep Healthy
C. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing
D. Should All the People in the Office Give Up Handwriting?

One day a man saw an old lady, standing on the side of the road, but even in the poor light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got out.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said,“I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is BryanAnderson.”
Well, all she had was a flat tire (爆胎), but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan checked under the car looking for a tool. Soon he was able to change the tire. As he was tightening up the lug nuts (螺帽), she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid. The lady asked how much she should pay him. Any amount would have been all right with her. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He told her, “If you really wanted to pay me back, next time you see someone in need, give them a hand.”It had been a cold and cheerless day, but he felt good as he headed for home.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. She went in to grab a bite to eat. It was a dirty-looking restaurant. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to dry her wet hair.

“Every life is a boat, the dream is the boat sail.” Every child has a dream of what they want to be. When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer fire fighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her beloved father died and she was never able to do volunteer work with him. However, Renee’s story didn’t end there. She was determined and never gave up, which makes for a good firefighter.
Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician. She should also be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who’s sick. Sometimes she is in the driver’s seat or using the water pump. Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to care for, as her husband is also a busy fire fighter. Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination.
When I asked Renee what the best part of her job was, she replied, “Helping people and saving lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She’s always willing to do anything for anyone in need. Renee says that her job is frightening at times, but extremely exciting. “The worst part of my job is that I see death. Actually, sometimes people die in the accident, for which I am very sorry.” With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women, but that doesn’t bother her. She says everyone can get a fair shot and do the same jobs.
I was inspired by this because I knew I would be very scared to do her job and didn’t know if I could handle seeing people die. We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives. Renee’s determination rubs off on me and makes me believe that I can do anything.

They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes(电视迷)and are using Away from It All as an excuse for not completing homework. Some students have even refused to study for exams because they say that they can only achieve happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely.
One mother, Lucy Linney, said of her son Patrick, “Before he started watching Away from It All, he loved challenges and volunteered every afternoon. But now he has become a couch potato. His grades have dropped and he no longer volunteers. He says it doesn’t matter as he just wants to ‘get away from it all’. ”

Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does You can potentially remember more by handwriting. according to a new study.
The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?
In total 24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard, While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes (电极) next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors, Those sensors recorded the participants’ brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn’t.
Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on. ” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly. the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down, Then. key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.
This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out. computers and other devices with keyboards have become indispensable in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed. they add.
12. Why did researchers ask participants to wear caps in the study?
A. To prevent them from being hart.
B. To record their brainwaves.
C. To find out their hair’s difference.
D. To test the new products.
13. What can be known about handwriting?
A. It detects your memories for further recalling.
B. It reminds you to have regular reviews.
C. It helps us remember more details.
D. It eases your tension of memorizing things.
14. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Necessary. B. Amazing. C. Precious. D. Relaxing.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Can We Grasp New Knowledge?
B. Handwriting Helps Us Keep Healthy
C. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing
D. Should All the People in the Office Give Up Handwriting?

【答案】 In my opinion, cooking by myself is preferable to ordering delivered food.
Firstly, cooking at home allows me to choose fresh and healthy ingredients, which is better for my health. Secondly, it helps me save money compared to ordering takeout frequently. Additionally, cooking is a relaxing and creative activity that brings me joy.
However, cooking can be time-consuming, especially after a busy day. Sometimes, it’s also challenging to prepare complex dishes without enough experience.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day a man saw an old lady, standing on the side of the road, but even in the poor light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got out.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said,“I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is BryanAnderson.”
Well, all she had was a flat tire (爆胎), but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan checked under the car looking for a tool. Soon he was able to change the tire. As he was tightening up the lug nuts (螺帽), she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid. The lady asked how much she should pay him. Any amount would have been all right with her. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He told her, “If you really wanted to pay me back, next time you see someone in need, give them a hand.”It had been a cold and cheerless day, but he felt good as he headed for home.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. She went in to grab a bite to eat. It was a dirty-looking restaurant. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to dry her wet hair.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then the waitress noticed something written on a tissue.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to dry her wet hair. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan. After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady was gone by the time the waitress came back. She wondered where the lady could be.
Then the waitress noticed something written on a tissue. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote,“You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the tissue were four more $100 bills. Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day.
【解析】
