One tap of my stick, and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan.
Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes.
The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward.
I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper.
One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life.
Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university.
Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course.
19. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present the author’s dream. B. To show the author’s daily life.
C. To describe the author’s village. D. To introduce the author’s background.
20. Who played a key role in the author’s childhood?
A. His father. B. His uncle. C. His classmates. D. His brother.
21. Why does the author mention the internship experience in Hyderabad?
A. To tell his professional growth. B. To show off his calligraphy skills.
C. To offer his solution to difficult situations. D. To emphasize his travel experiences.
22. What can we learn from the text?
A. All is well that ends well. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Two heads are better than one. D. One cannot be in two places at once.
【答案】19. D 20. B 21. C 22. B

The number of pandas, which once were an endangered species, has grown continuously in recent years, partly thanks to the introduction of the special pandas born in captivity (圈养) but trained from birth to return to nature.
The first stage of the training begins in the first year of life in an area of around 2,000 square meters. This allows experts to monitor them more easily and minimize the damage they may suffer. During this period, the baby pandas learn to find water sources, something necessary for their survival. In the second stage, once they turn one year old, their diet changes and in addition to mother’s milk they need bamboo. They will learn to find bamboo, how to stay away from their natural enemies and how to seek shelter to avoid danger. In this second stage, the area in which they move enlarges to over 20 thousand square meters, a surface similar to that of the habitat in which they find themselves when they live in the wild.
After those training and final physical examinations, captive pandas are well-prepared to explore the wild world. When they go back to the wild, they wear collars (颈圈) to provide a helpful tracking sign to inform the wildlife protection experts. Mu Shijie is one of these experts who is backed by a giant panda monitoring “dream team”, whose daily duty is to monitor the wild giant pandas in the nature reserve as well as the captive giant pandas after being set free.
The World Wide Fund for Nature said in a statement that there was a “promising trend” in the wild population of pandas and that rewilding could help deal with the risk of inbreeding (近亲繁殖). “After decades of work, it is clear that the future of pandas and their forest home depends on more effective measures, especially with the increasing effect of climate change.” a spokesperson said.
23. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The benefits of training. B. The process of training.
C. The challenges of training. D. The importance of training.
24. Why do the captive pandas wear collars when they go back to the wild?
A. To aid experts in following the pandas’ trace.
B. To help pandas adapt to the wild world easily.
C. To enable pandas to recognize each other quickly.
D. To protect pandas from hunters and natural enemies.
25. What does the underlined word “backed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Observed. B. Supported. C. Affected. D. Promoted.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Greater efforts should be made to protect pandas.
B. The population of the captive giant pandas is mounting.
C The risk of inbreeding can be totally avoided by rewilding.
D. A World Wide Fund for Nature will be established to preserve pandas.
【答案】23 B 24. A 25. B 26. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了大熊猫数量增长和野化训练过程及其重要性。
【23题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第二段内容可知,本段详细描述了熊猫从幼年到成年所需经历的两个阶段训练过程。故选B。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“When they go back to the wild, they wear collars (颈圈) to provide a helpful tracking sign to inform the wildlife protection experts.”可知,熊猫回到野外时戴颈圈是为了帮助专家追踪它们的踪迹,以便更好地保护它们。故选A。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Mu Shijie is one of these experts who is backed by a giant panda monitoring ‘dream team’, whose daily duty is to monitor the wild giant pandas in the nature reserve as well as the captive giant pandas after being set free.可知,Mu Shijie得到了大熊猫监测“梦之队”的支持,因此划线词与“Supported”同义。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。通读最后一段内容可知,熊猫的未来和它们的森林家园取决于更有效的措施,特别是随着气候变化影响的加剧,这表明我们需要采取更多的措施来保护熊猫,因此可以推断出应该做出更大的努力来保护大熊猫。故选A。
D
According to the Gallup World Poll for the World Happiness Report 2024, America has fallen out of the top 20 happiest countries for the first time. This is not surprising considering the rising costs of living and a number of daily disturbing news reports. But the key factor is that social media has replaced in-person interaction and often creates a feeling of missing out. One way that companies can help deal with these challenges is holding community-building activities and providing employees (雇员) with social purpose.
A recent study by Ares Management Corporation looked into the effects of workplace volunteer programs, conducting interviews with more than 5,100 employees across five countries. The goal of this study was to understand how acts of selflessness change the givers. The results stress the fact that volunteering enriches the lives of both receivers and volunteers. According to the study, employees who participate in workplace volunteer programs are more likely than nonparticipants to be content with their jobs and chances for professional growth.
Many companies make efforts to offer more time away from the office to make it easy for their employees to volunteer. One of the best examples is IBM, a leader in this space, recognizing the benefits of investing in community service for its employees. The company sponsors its employees on multi-week service projects in developing countries. Enabling volunteers to take much time away from office to travel abroad to make an effect creates a life-changing experience for both the workers and the communities they are supporting.
Especially in times like today, when we face so many worries and stresses that are out of our control, volunteering offers mental improvement by bringing people together and giving them a way to make a positive difference. And there are no more meaningful ways to improve employee wellness and satisfaction.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕美国幸福感下降的现象展开,通过研究和案例说明职场志愿服务对员工幸福感的提升作用。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But the key factor is that social media has replaced in-person interaction and often creates a feeling of missing out.”可知,美国幸福感下降的关键因素是社交媒体取代了面对面的互动,这意味着面对面交流减少了。故选C。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据“A recent study by Ares Management Corporation looked into the effects of workplace volunteer programs, conducting interviews with more than 5,100 employees across five countries. The goal of this study was to understand how acts of selflessness change the givers.”可知,这项研究主要是探究职场志愿者项目对给予者(即员工)的影响,也就是职场志愿者项目如何影响员工。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Many companies make efforts to offer more time away from the office to make it easy for their employees to volunteer. One of the best examples is IBM, a leader in this space, recognizing the benefits of investing in community service for its employees.”可知,作者提到 IBM 的例子是为了说明许多公司都在努力为员工提供更多时间去做志愿者,也就是展示公司对志愿服务的支持。故选D。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。文章开头指出美国幸福感下降,接着提到公司可以通过举办社区建设活动和让员工参与志愿服务来应对这些挑战,然后具体介绍了职场志愿者项目对员工的积极影响,如让员工更满意工作和职业发展机会等,最后强调志愿服务能提升员工的幸福感,所以文章主要围绕志愿服务能增加员工幸福感展开,D选项“志愿服务:增加员工幸福感”作为标题最合适。故选D。

七、阅读表达(共5小题,满分10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面小题。
Van Tilburg and his team did a study asking people to describe what boring people are like according to someone they knew. In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor (幽默感).
Later studies showed that being seen as boring is a bad personality characteristic (性格特点). And these people are often called introverts (内向的人).
So why do some people think introverts are boring? Quiet people usually keep their lives secret (秘密的) and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome. Because of this, people might wrongly think that “quiet” means “boring”. They believe being very outgoing and sharing everything online shows people are fun.
However, thinking that being outgoing is better can be a mistake, according to another study. This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time. This kind of popularity can make quiet people feel bad about not being so social (合群的).
In fact, introverts have something called a “quiet ego (自我)”. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. They not only care about themselves, but also care about others. Their kindness also brings them a feeling of long-lasting happiness.
It’s not right to think introverts are boring because introversion has many good points. Introverts are truer to themselves. Knowing being introverted is good can make people feel great about themselves. There can be happiness in being “boring” if you have a quiet, introverted personality.
61. What did most people in the study think of a boring person? (no more than 20 words)
________________________________
62. How does the quiet ego help introverts? (no more than 6 words)
________________________________
63. Are you an introvert? What do you think of introverts? (本题字数不限)
________________________________
64. 请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。
________________________________
65. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。
________________________________
【答案】61. Most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor.
62. Helps them understand others.
63. Yes. I think there’s nothing wrong with being introverted. Introverts also have many good points.(开放性试题,言之成理即可)
64. 他们不仅关心自己,也关心他人。
65. Correct the misconceptions about introversion.
【解析】
【导语】本文反驳“内向者无趣”的偏见,这类人能换位思考、全面看待问题。
【61题详解】
根据第一段“most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor”可知,大多数人说无趣的人很安静,没有兴趣和想法,也没有幽默感。故填Most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor.
【62题详解】
根据第五段“It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems.”可知, “自我”的人能换位思考、全面看待问题。故填 Helps them understand others.
【63题详解】
Yes. I think there’s nothing wrong with being introverted. Introverts also have many good points. (开放性试题,言之成理即可)。
【64题详解】
They“他们”;not only… but also…“不但……而且……”;care about “关心”;themselves“他们自己”;others“其他人”。故答案为:他们不仅关心自己,也关心他人。
【65题详解】
本文反驳“内向者无趣”的偏见。故填Correct the misconceptions about introversion.

Be Smart Online Learners
Good morning, everyone! It is a great honor to have this opportunity to make a speech titled “Be Smart Online Learners”.
With the development of science and technology, learning online has become an essential way to study these days. It allows students to learn whatever they are interested in anywhere and anytime, which brings us more convenience. However, on the other hand, online learning also presents learners with more challenges. Students may be accessible to bad websites or get addicted to playing computer games.
I’m not an expert, but years of taking online classes have taught me a thing or two. Therefore, I strongly suggest that learners should set a learning goal and stick to it. Additionally, it is highly recommended to follow a learning schedule, which will surely contribute to our learning efficiency. With these tips in mind, I am fully convinced that everyone is bound to become a smart online learner.
Thank you for your attention.

Nowadays there are many different museums with unique themes. Collections in them are quite strange, wonderful and worth a visit.
Museum of Bad Art
The mission of MOBA is to collect, exhibit and celebrate art that will not be shown elsewhere. Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found leaning against a rubbish bin. It is the first piece of the MOBA collections.
National Comedy Center
This museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and Joan Rivers’s card catalog of 65,000 jokes. Visitors are asked to choose what they find funny before entering the museum. The data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.
Museum of Motherhood
The Museum of Motherhood stands as the first of its kind. It is not just a museum but also an educational center dedicated to exploring the art, science and history of mothers. Visitors can try on the pregnancy vests to experience what it is like to be a mother.
International Tennis Hall of Fame
The International Tennis Hall of Fame was built in 1881. A highlight is a Kings Court for “court tennis”, first played by monks and kings in 1538. It’s not so much a tennis court but a strange rectangular (长方形的) room with surprising slopes and angles. There are only 10 such courts in North America, as they cost about $3 million to make, but visitors to the museum can rent it and play.

One tap of my stick and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan.
Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes.
The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward.
I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper.
One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life.
Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university.
Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course.

The number of pandas, which once were an endangered species, has grown continuously in recent years, partly thanks to the introduction of the special pandas born in captivity (圈养) but trained from birth to return to nature.
The first stage of the training begins in the first year of life in an area of around 2,000 square meters. This allows experts to monitor them more easily and minimize the damage they may suffer. During this period, the baby pandas learn to find water sources, something necessary for their survival. In the second stage, once they turn one year old, their diet changes and in addition to mother’s milk they need bamboo. They will learn to find bamboo, how to stay away from their natural enemies and how to seek shelter to avoid danger. In this second stage, the area in which they move enlarges to over 20 thousand square meters, a surface similar to that of the habitat in which they find themselves when they live in the wild.
After those training and final physical examinations, captive pandas are well-prepared to explore the wild world. When they go back to the wild, they wear collars (颈圈) to provide a helpful tracking sign to inform the wildlife protection experts. Mu Shijie is one of these experts who is backed by a giant panda monitoring “dream team”, whose daily duty is to monitor the wild giant pandas in the nature reserve as well as the captive giant pandas after being set free.
The World Wide Fund for Nature said in a statement that there was a “promising trend” in the wild population of pandas and that rewilding could help deal with the risk of inbreeding (近亲繁殖). “After decades of work, it is clear that the future of pandas and their forest home depends on more effective measures, especially with the increasing effect of climate change.” a spokesperson said.
23. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The benefits of training. B. The process of training.
C. The challenges of training. D. The importance of training.
24. Why do the captive pandas wear collars when they go back to the wild?
A. To aid experts in following the pandas’ trace.
B. To help pandas adapt to the wild world easily.
C. To enable pandas to recognize each other quickly.
D. To protect pandas from hunters and natural enemies.
25. What does the underlined word “backed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Observed. B. Supported. C. Affected. D. Promoted.
26 What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Greater efforts should be made to protect pandas.
B. The population of the captive giant pandas is mounting.
C. The risk of inbreeding can be totally avoided by rewilding.
D. A World Wide Fund for Nature will be established to preserve pandas.

According to the Gallup World Poll for the World Happiness Report 2024, America has fallen out of the top 20 happiest countries for the first time. This is not surprising considering the rising costs of living and a number of daily disturbing news reports. But the key factor is that social media has replaced in-person interaction and often creates a feeling of missing out. One way that companies can help deal with these challenges is holding community-building activities and providing employees (雇员) with social purpose.
A recent study by Ares Management Corporation looked into the effects of workplace volunteer programs, conducting interviews with more than 5,100 employees across five countries. The goal of this study was to understand how acts of selflessness change the givers. The results stress the fact that volunteering enriches the lives of both receivers and volunteers. According to the study, employees who participate in workplace volunteer programs are more likely than nonparticipants to be content with their jobs and chances for professional growth.
Many companies make efforts to offer more time away from the office to make it easy for their employees to volunteer. One of the best examples is IBM, a leader in this space, recognizing the benefits of investing in community service for its employees. The company sponsors its employees on multi-week service projects in developing countries. Enabling volunteers to take much time away from office to travel abroad to make an effect creates a life-changing experience for both the workers and the communities they are supporting.
Especially in times like today, when we face so many worries and stresses that are out of our control, volunteering offers mental improvement by bringing people together and giving them a way to make a positive difference. And there are no more meaningful ways to improve employee wellness and satisfaction.
27. What’s the major cause in the reduction of happiness in America?
A. Increasing living expenses. B. Various social media apps.
C. Less face-to-face communication. D. Countless troublesome information.
28. According to paragraph 2, the study mainly focuses on ________.
A. how workplace volunteer programs affect employees
B. what workplace volunteer programs bring to the community
C. whether workplace volunteer programs should be carried out
D. why workplace volunteer programs are popular across countries
29 Why does the author mention the example of IBM?
A. To praise the employees in IBM. B. To advocate volunteering abroad.
C. To comment on a new voluntary model. D. To show companies’ support for volunteering.
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Volunteering: Bring People Together B. Volunteering: Enrich the Community
C. Volunteering: Offer Mental Improvement D. Volunteering: Increase Employee Happiness

七、阅读表达(共5小题,满分10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面小题。
Van Tilburg and his team did a study asking people to describe what boring people are like according to someone they knew. In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor (幽默感).
Later studies showed that being seen as boring is a bad personality characteristic (性格特点). And these people are often called introverts (内向的人).
So why do some people think introverts are boring? Quiet people usually keep their lives secret (秘密的) and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome. Because of this, people might wrongly think that “quiet” means “boring”. They believe being very outgoing and sharing everything online shows people are fun.
However, thinking that being outgoing is better can be a mistake, according to another study. This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time. This kind of popularity can make quiet people feel bad about not being so social (合群的).
In fact, introverts have something called a “quiet ego (自我)”. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. They not only care about themselves, but also care about others. Their kindness also brings them a feeling of long-lasting happiness.
It’s not right to think introverts are boring because introversion has many good points. Introverts are truer to themselves. Knowing being introverted is good can make people feel great about themselves. There can be happiness in being “boring” if you have a quiet, introverted personality.
61. What did most people in the study think of a boring person? (no more than 20 words)
________________________________
62. How does the quiet ego help introverts? (no more than 6 words)
