Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment — the time to share the day’s new learning
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is...”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well...” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future. teacher,I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along-the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
39. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.
A. one new thing B. the news C. a request D. some comment
40. It can be learned from the passage that the author ______ .
A. enjoyed talking about news B. appreciated his father’s educational technique
C. felt regret about those wasted days D. knew very well about Nepal
41. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author?
A. Showing talents. B. Continual learning.
C. Family get-together. D. Winning Papa’s approval.
42. The author’s father can be best described as ______ .
A. a parent insistent on his children’s education
B. an educator expert at training future teachers
C. a participant willing to share his knowledge
D. a teacher strict about everything his students did

The Yellow River is the cradle (摇篮) of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions.
One big breakthrough in the river’s digital governance (管理) is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter (尤指电台或电视信号的发射机). They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said.
“In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.”
And in the sky, drones are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans (泄洪计划) in case we need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river.
43. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River?
A. To study the wildlife in the Yellow River.
B. To raise public awareness of river protection.
C. To improve flood control and prevention efforts.
D. To provide a virtual reality experience of the river.
44. How do the “smart stones” contribute to the river’s digital governance?
A. They record water quality. B. They enhance the river’s beauty.
C. They monitor and report dike movements. D. They serve as markets for important locations.
45. What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River?
A. Providing entertainment for the people living along the river.
B. Collecting data to update a 3D model for flood management.
C. Transporting researchers to remote locations along the river
D. Patrolling and getting first-hand wildlife photos.
46. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. To update the 3D model for accuracy. B. To prepare for a potential flood event.
C. To strengthen the riverbanks and dikes. D. To increase drone monitoring over the river.
47. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The cultural and historical importance of the Yellow River.
B. The future plans for improving the Yellow River’s construction.
C. The use of smart stones and drones for flood control and monitoring.
D The development of a digital system for the Yellow River’s management.

In the mornings, as J walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and most urgent of all — the insights into human nature that it was my job to discover.
Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental checklist but this time sizing up my performance against the expectations I’d set for myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do list with my got-done list, I felt frustrated because I had fallen short.
But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without any conscious intention, my thoughts began to change. Instead of feeling bad about my weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant-until the next day when I walked home. And again, after counting my failures, I found myself saying quietly:I’m a nice person. It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation (肯定). And what it emphasizes is recognizing and strengthening the personal values you hold most dear.
When you affirm a core personal value, you raise your sense of self-worth. You broaden your outlook: Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a wide-angle view that includes your resources and opportunities. And the people who do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful. Over time, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes most successful people special, including this: Nobody has passion and determination unless what they do lines up with their values.
Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students.
Take a moment and think of a value you hold dear whether it’s kindness, creativity, or gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say to yourself: Come what may, I know who I am. Your values are your foundation and your compass, too. Trust them, and they will lead you home.
48. How did the author feel when comparing his to-do list with his got-done list at the beginning?
A. Satisfied. B. Pleased. C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
49. What does the underlined phrase sizing up mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Changing. B. Forming. C. Denying. D. Judging.
50. The author affirmed his values by ______.
A. strengthening a core personal value to himself B. counting his failures
C. talking aloud to himself on his way home D. chanting with conscious intention
51. What does values affirmation mean to people?
A. It changes people’s focus to their shortcomings. B. It improves their sense of self-worth.
C. It limits their resources and opportunities. D. It makes them more critical of themselves.
五、阅读表达:本大题共5小题,共10分。
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
My dad is a kind, gentle man, and a man of few words. Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing.
As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world. When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn’t about power and it’s about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.”
My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we’re heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, now his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very important. We can’t be sure of the future. My father’s advice is like the ancient dictum(格言)of “ carpe diem”— seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest.
My dad rarely “lectured me”. He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”.
52. Why did the author’s dad tell him “All things are relative.”? (No more than 10 words)
53. What qualities should a manager have according to the author? (No more than 5 words)
54. What is the purpose of the author’s father talking with him on the phone every day? (No more than 10 words)
55. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words)
56. How do you feel about the ancient dictum of “carpe diem”? (No more than 20 words)
六、写作(本题共10分)

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment — the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is...”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well...” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future. teacher,I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along-the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.

The Yellow River is the cradle (摇篮) of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions.
One big breakthrough in the river’s digital governance (管理) is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter (尤指电台或电视信号的发射机). They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said.
“In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.”
And in the sky drones are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans (泄洪计划) in case we need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river.
43. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River?
A. To study the wildlife in the Yellow River.
B. To raise public awareness of river protection.
C. To improve flood control and prevention efforts.
D. To provide a virtual reality experience of the river.
44. How do the “smart stones” contribute to the river’s digital governance?
A. They record water quality. B. They enhance the river’s beauty.
C. They monitor and report dike movements. D. They serve as markets for important locations.
45. What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River?
A. Providing entertainment for the people living along the river.
B. Collecting data to update a 3D model for flood management.
C. Transporting researchers to remote locations along the river
D. Patrolling and getting first-hand wildlife photos.
46. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. To update the 3D model for accuracy. B. To prepare for a potential flood event.
C. To strengthen the riverbanks and dikes. D. To increase drone monitoring over the river.
47. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The cultural and historical importance of the Yellow River.
B. The future plans for improving the Yellow River’s construction.
C. The use of smart stones and drones for flood control and monitoring.
D. The development of a digital system for the Yellow River’s management.

【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. (它们被埋在重要的堤坝上,以记录和报告堤坝石块的运动。)”可知,智能石头通过监测和报告堤防的运动来为河流的数字化治理做出贡献。故选C项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans (泄洪计划) in case we need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen. (在工程师设计的路线上,无人机成为河流的专业巡逻者,看着它的堤防和防洪工程。据黄河水利委员会的沈林介绍,多亏了无人机,指挥中心的研究人员可以获得第一手的照片和信息。“研究人员根据无人机报告的变化更新3D模型。新更新的模型可以帮助我们测试我们的洪水释放计划,以防我们需要封闭舱口。”沈说。)”可知,无人机在黄河数字化治理中的作用之一是收集数据更新洪水管理的3D模型。故选B项。
【46题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段后三句“According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen.

(为可能发生的洪水做准备。)”同义。故选B项。
【47题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Yellow River is the cradle (摇篮) of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it.

In the mornings, as J walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and most urgent of all — the insights into human nature that it was my job to discover.
Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental checklist but this time sizing up my performance against the expectations I’d set for myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do list with my got-done list, I felt frustrated because I had fallen short.
But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without any conscious intention, my thoughts began to change. Instead of feeling bad about my weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant-until the next day when I walked home. And again, after counting my failures, I found myself saying quietly:I’m a nice person. It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation (肯定). And what it emphasizes is recognizing and strengthening the personal values you hold most dear.
When you affirm a core personal value, you raise your sense of self-worth. You broaden your outlook: Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a wide-angle view that includes your resources and opportunities. And the people who do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful. Over time, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes most successful people special, including this: Nobody has passion and determination unless what they do lines up with their values.
Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students.
Take a moment and think of a value you hold dear, whether it’s kindness, creativity, or gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say to yourself: Come what may, I know who I am. Your values are your foundation and your compass, too. Trust them, and they will lead you home.
48. How did the author feel when comparing his to-do list with his got-done list at the beginning?
A. Satisfied. B. Pleased. C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
49. What does the underlined phrase sizing up mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Changing. B. Forming. C. Denying. D. Judging.
50. The author affirmed his values by ______.
A. strengthening a core personal value to himself B. counting his failures
C. talking aloud to himself on his way home D. chanting with conscious intention
51. What does values affirmation mean to people?
A. It changes people’s focus to their shortcomings. B. It improves their sense of self-worth.
C. It limits their resources and opportunities. D. It makes them more critical of themselves.
【答案】48. C 49. D 50. A 51. B

五、阅读表达:本大题共5小题,共10分。
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
My dad is a kind, gentle man, and a man of few words. Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing.
As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world. When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn’t about power and it’s about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.”
My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we’re heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, now his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very important. We can’t be sure of the future. My father’s advice is like the ancient dictum(格言)of “ carpe diem”— seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest.
My dad rarely “lectured me”. He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”.
52. Why did the author’s dad tell him “All things are relative.”? (No more than 10 words)
53. What qualities should a manager have according to the author? (No more than 5 words)
54. What is the purpose of the author’s father talking with him on the phone every day? (No more than 10 words)
55. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words)
56. How do you feel about the ancient dictum of “carpe diem”? (No more than 20 words)
【答案】52. To teach the author the right view of the world.
53. Both responsibility and leading ability.
54. Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author’s family.
55. His father’s words make him take action.
56. Open.(Answers may vary)
(One possible version: ) I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.
【解析】
【分析】本文为记叙文。作者介绍了自己的父亲及父亲对自己的教导和启发。
【52题详解】
根据第二段中的As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world.可知,作者的父亲说“所有的事情都是相对的。”是为了教给作者正确的世界观。考虑词数限制,故答To teach the author the right view of the world.
【53题详解】
根据第二段中的I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability.可知,作者明白了作为经理他需要的不仅仅是对团队负责,还要有领导能力。考虑词数限制,故答Both responsibility and leading ability.
【54题详解】
根据第三段中的Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. 可知,作者的父亲每天和他通电话的目的实际上是想分享年轻家庭的快乐。考虑词数限制,故答Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author’s family.
【55题详解】
根据最后一段中的As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”可知,当作者怀疑自己的能力和动机时,他会想起父亲最近赐予他的智慧——“趁你能做的时候去做”。这足以让我“开始”了。由此可知,划线句意为,父亲的话让自己行动起来。考虑词数限制,故答His father’s words make him take action.
【56题详解】
此题答案不统一,答题时要有立场、要有依据,同时注意字数限制。例如:I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.(我完全同意,因为我认为一个人应该抓住这一天,享受他的生活没有遗憾)
