When people talk about smart work and hard work, they usually wonder which one is more important. In fact, smart work is more important. But working smartly is very hard. This is not a word play. It is not easy to be smart.
What is “smartness”?
People are smart when they can find out a way to bring more results with less effort (努力). If you can achieve the same results without putting in a lot of work, you are smart. The person pushing the vehicle (车辆) is smart, because he is using the knowledge and wisdom (智慧), and the hard work of some other people.
_________ ?
Creating that wheel isn’t easy. It needs a great thinker, followed by an engineer’s hard work. It then needed a handyman (杂活工). Only then does it become easier to push the material using the machine. So, smart work is not easy at all.
Besides, being smart takes a lot of effort. People need to read more, keep learning new things, try to learn from others’ experiences and sharpen their thinking skills. They need to predict the results before putting any effort in any direction, and being able to manipulate the given resources (资源) to meet their needs.
Human beings are smart. The human history shows our smartness. We don’t need to go hunting for our food anymore, because we were smart enough to find out that farming could bring much more food with much less effort. We then developed modern tools for farming.
Humans also invented the Internet, the wheel, clothes, the smart phones—all the tools that help us to work smartly: All of this is hard, but that hard work makes us smart. Because of smartness, we are much better off today in terms of happiness and richness.
So remember: Work hard to become a smart person.
34. Which of the following is the example of smartness?
A. People go hunting for food. B. People read many books.
C. People use vehicles to carry things. D. People talk to others with body language.
35. Which of the following can be put in the blank (空白处)?
A. When can we work smartly B. How can we work smartly
C. Why do we need to work smartly D. Where can we work smartly
36. The underlined word “manipulate” in the fourth paragraph means ________.
A. to make use of B. to find out C. to ask for D. to think about
37. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Be Smart? B. What Is Smartness?
C. When to Work Hard? D. Hard Work? Smart Work!
C
I hurried into the local store to get some last-minute Christmas gifts. Surprised at the prices of the toys, I wondered if the grand kids would even play with them.
In the doll aisle (通道) , I saw a little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and held her gently. He counted his money with his aunt but found out it was not enough. Then his aunt asked the boy to wait and left.
Then I talked to him and knew the doll was for his sister who was in heaven (天堂) because of a car accident. His mother was going to be with her so he hoped his mother could take the doll to her. He also wanted his mother to take his photo with her so she wouldn’t ever forget him. He said he hoped to buy a white rose as well because mom loves white roses very much.
My heart nearly stopped beating. Noticing my sadness, the boy lowered his head and stopped talking. I reached into my purse and pulled out some bills and asked, “Shall we count your money again? ” He grew excited and said, “Yes, I just knew it had to be enough”. Quietly I put my money in with his and we began to count it. Of course, it was more than enough for the doll. He bought both the doll and a white rose. It was a great relief (宽慰) to find the smile on his face.
Two days later I read in the newspaper about a drunk driver hitting a car and killing a little girl and the mother. In the photo, the mother was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the little boy in the store.
The love that little boy had for his little sister and his mother was touching. I realized “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
38. How did the boy manage to buy the doll?
A. The writer gave active help to him. B. His aunt bought it for him.
C. He borrowed money from the writer. D. He had enough money himself.
39. What can you learn from the passage?
A. The boy's aunt didn’t want to buy him the doll.
B. The writer bought a doll and a rose for the boy.
C. The writer visited the boy after he knew the story.
D. The boy's sister and mother died in a car accident.
40. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
①A little boy wanted to buy gifts for his mother and sister.
②I helped the boy by quietly putting my money in with his.
③The boy bought both the doll and a white rose.
④A car accident happened.
A. ①-②-③-④ B. ①-②-④-③ C. ④-①-②-③ D. ④-①-③-②
41. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Love from mothers is touching. B. Giving helps us have a meaningful life.
C. Money is very important in life. D. Driving after drinking is dangerous.
D
Did you have any interesting dreams last night?
Our dreams come from a part of the brain that contains our thoughts and memories. A person can have up to six dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes. Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. Most people dream in color, usually with sound. And we usually dream about ourselves and the people we know.
Why do we dream?
Alan Siegel is a scientist who studies dreams, “Dreams help us get in touch with our deeper feelings.” he says. “They can tell us a lot about ourselves, and can help us understand problems.” Another scientist, Robert Stickgold, thinks dreams come from our memories. He believes we dream to remember, because memories are useful to the brain. Stickgold says the purpose of dreaming through these memories is to help us learn from the past.
Here are a few kinds of dreams and what people think they mean.
Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas
Sometimes people dream that they meet someone they know while wearing their pajamas! This dream may be the result of an embarrassing (尴尬的) event in your life. Some people think we dream about embarrassing situations if our brains are trying to deal with an event in our own lives.
Dream 2: You’re Flying
If you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good period in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader.
Dream 3: You Didn’t Study for a Test
This probably means you are worried about an important event coming in your life. If you’re not prepared for the event, your dream may be telling you, “It’s time to get to work!”
Dream 4: Someone’s Running after You
If you dream someone is running after you, it may tell you should face the problems in your life instead of giving it up.
42. Robert Stickgold believes that dreams ________.
A. usually last from 10 to 40 minutes
B. help us understand our problems
C. help us learn from the past memories
D. can tell us a lot about ourselves
43. If someone says, “The concert is tomorrow, and I haven’t had time to practice!” Which dream might they have?
A. Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas
B. Dream 2: You’re Flying
C. Dream 3: You Didn’t Study for a Test
D. Dream 4: Someone’s Running after You
44. What is the proper (恰当的) mind map of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
45. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A person can have up to six dreams a night.
B. Dreams come from only one part of the brain.

D. Dreams can help us to understand our feelings and problems.

I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they came back. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots-one for rice and one for wheat.
Next, I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined to have a boat, so I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to launch, I realized I had my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant (不断的) labor.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我期待期中考试后的班级旅行。——我们会让它成为大家真正有趣的一天。
考查冠词。根据“class trip after the mid-term exam.”可知,第一空特指期中考试后的班级旅行,因此用the;第二空泛指有趣的一天,really是辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a。故选C。

【解析】
【详解】句意:Becky手里拿着咖啡,看着雨重重地打在有雾的窗户上。
考查介词辨析。through穿过(内部);across穿过(表面);behind在……后面;against碰,撞。根据“the rain beating hard”可知,雨重重地打在窗户上,against符合句意。故选D。
3. Many parents work all day long to offer their children a good living ________, but kids may want nothing else but love.
A. situation B. condition C. experience D. introduction
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:许多父母整天工作为他们的孩子提供一个良好的生活条件,但孩子们可能想要的只是爱。
考查名词辨析。situation情况,形势;condition条件;experience经历,经验;introduction介绍,引见。根据“Many parents work all day long to offer their children a good living…”可知,父母整天工作是为了给孩子提供一个好的生活条件。故选B。

A. Clicking B. Click C. Clicked D. To click
【答案】B

【详解】句意:——如何发送电子邮件?——单击“发送”图标,电子邮件将在几秒钟内送达你的朋友。
考查祈使句。根据“on the ‘send’ icon, and the e-mail will reach your friend in seconds”可知此处是祈使句+and+陈述句,祈使句用动词原形开头。故选B。
5. —Is the drama The Knockour《狂飙》 the best one you have ________ watched?
—Yes, I have ________ watched a better one before.
A. ever; never B. yet; ever C. already; yet D. ever; yet
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你看过的最好的电视剧是《狂飙》吗?——是的,我从来没有看过比这更好的。
考查副词辨析。ever曾经;never从不/从没有,表否定;yet仍然,还,用于否定句和完成时,放在句尾;already已经,用于现在完成时。根据句意结构和语境可知,第一句表示“曾经看过”,应用ever,第二句表示“以前从未”,应用never,故选A。
6. —Look! ________ the roller coaster is moving ________!
—Wow! I am beginning to feel dizzy (头晕目眩的) now.
A. What a high speed; / B. What high speed; /
C. What high speed; at D. How high speed; at
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看!过山车在以多么高的速度在运行呀!——哇!我现在开始感到头晕目眩。
考查感叹句和介词短语。根据“high speed”可知,中心词是不可数名词speed,符合感叹句结构“what+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语+其他”,因此第一空“What high speed”符合句意;“以……速度”用介词at,故选C。
7. —Tom, could you tell me ________?
—Try Music World in Fifth Street.
A. why to buy a CD B. where to get a CD
C. how to choose a CD D. when to record a CD
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Tom,你能告诉我哪里可以买到光盘吗?——去第五街的音乐世界试试看。
考查疑问词+动词不定式。why to buy a CD为什么要买光盘;where to get a CD在哪里可以买到光盘;how to choose a CD如何选择一个光盘;when to record a CD什么时候记录一个光盘。根据“Try Music World in Fifth Street.”可知,回答的是一个地点,因此提问位置应用where来提问。故选B。
8. —When did you go to bed last night, Curry?
—________.
A. Since 11 o’clock B. Since my mother came back
C. Until I finished my homework D. Not until my father came back from work
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——库里,你昨晚什么时候睡觉的?——直到我父亲下班回来。
考查until的用法。since后接一般过去时态时,主句时态应为现在完成时态,而此句是在询问过去的一个具体时间点,所以since不适用;until引导从句时,主句的谓语动词通常是延续性动词,而“go to bed”是短暂性动词,因此排除C;not…until…结构表示“直到……才……”,与短暂性动词连用,符合语境。故选D。
9. —Oh, I’ve left my keys at home again.
—What about choosing a smart lock? You ________ search for keys any more. Just use your finger.
A. mustn’t B. can’t C. don’t have to D. shouldn’t
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——哦,我又把钥匙落在家里了。——选择智能锁怎么样?你不必再找钥匙了。只用你的手指就好。
考查情态动词辨析。mustn’t禁止;can’t不能;don’t have to不必;shouldn’t不应该。根据“What about choosing a smart lock?...Just use your finger.”及语境可知,智能锁是指纹解锁,所以不需要钥匙,故选C。
10. —Do you know when your uncle Jim ________ your aunt?
—I’m not sure. But I know they ________ for more than twenty years.
A. married with; got married B. married; have been married
C. married to; have married D. got married; were married
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我你叔叔Jim什么时候和你阿姨结婚的吗? ——我不确定。但是我知道他们已经结婚二十多年了。
考查动词时态。“和某人结婚”应用“marry sb”或者“get married to sb”,因此第一空用“married”;第二空根据时间状语“for more than twenty years”可知应用现在完成时,并且用延续性动词“be married”,因此应用“have been married”。故选B。
11. —Daniel, why not stop ________ a rest?
—Oh, I can’t stop ________ the kite on such warm spring days.
A. having; flying B. to have; to fly C. having; to fly D. to have; flying
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——丹尼尔,为什么不停下来休息一下?——哦,这么温暖的春天,我不能停止放风筝。
考查非谓语动词。having动名词形式;flying动名词形式;to have动词不定式;to fly动词不定式。stop doing sth.停止做某事;stop to do sth.停下来去做另一件事;根据“why not stop…a rest?”可知,是停下来去休息,第一空用to have;根据“on such warm spring days”可知,是不能停止放风筝,第二空用flying。故选D。
12. —It’s said that corns were used to make steamed buns (馒头) in the past.
—Yes. It used to ________ like that, but people are used to ________ wheat instead of corns now.
A. being; use B. be; using C. be; use D. being; using
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——据说在过去,玉米被用来做馒头。——是的。过去是这样的,但现在人们习惯了小麦而不是玉米。
考查动词短语辨析。used to be过去是;be used to doing习惯于做某事;be used to do sth.被用来做某事,被动语态。结合语境及前句“It’s said that corn s were used to make steamed buns in the past.”可知,第一空所在句在肯定对方“在过去玉米被用来做馒头”的说法,应用“used to be”表示“过去是”;又结合第二空所在句中的时间状语now及语境可知,第二句在讲述现在人们“习惯了”小麦,应用“be used to doing”表示“习惯于做某事”。故选B。
13. —Do you know how long China Grand Canal Museum ________?
—For nearly three years. I remembered it ________ on a sunny day.
A. has been open; opening B. has been open; opened
C. has been opened; opening D. has opened; opened
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你知道中国大运河博物馆开放多久了吗?——近三年了。我记得它是在一个晴天开放的。
考查时态用法。第二空根据时间状语“on a sunny day”可知,动作发生在过去,需用一般过去时,动词用过去式opened,排除A、C。第一空根据“how long”和答语“For nearly three years”可知,需用现在完成时,结构为“have/has + 过去分词”。open作动词时为短暂性动词,不能与时间段连用,排除D(has opened)。“has been open”中“open”为形容词,表示持续状态,可与时间段搭配,故选B。
14. —________ Amy with her sister ________ the Statue of Liberty in the USA?
—Yes only once.
A. Have; been in B. Have; been to C. Has; been in D. Has; been to
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Amy和她姐姐去过美国的自由女神像吗?——是的,只去过一次。
考查主谓一致及时态。have/has been to去过某地;have/has been in在某地停留一段时间。根据“Amy with her sister”可知,核心主语是Amy,with her sister为伴随状语,因此助动词需用Has,排除选词A和B;根据答句“Yes, only once.”可知,强调“去过”的经历,需been to,故选D。
15. —How do you find the trip to Gaoyou?
—________
A. I find it by myself B. I took the coach there
C. It’s really great D. It is a little far from here
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得去高邮的旅行怎么样? ——真的很棒。
考查情景交际。I find it by myself我自己找的;I took the coach there我乘长途汽车去的;It’s really great真的很棒;It is a little far from here离这儿有点远。根据“How do you find the trip to Gaoyou?”可知,此处是对高邮之旅进行评价。故选C。

When people talk about smart work and hard work, they usually wonder which one is more important. In fact, smart work is more important. But working smartly is very hard. This is not a word play. It is not easy to be smart.
What is “smartness”?
People are smart when they can find out a way to bring more results with less effort (努力). If you can achieve the same results without putting in a lot of work, you are smart. The person pushing the vehicle (车辆) is smart, because he is using the knowledge and wisdom (智慧), and the hard work of some other people.
_________ ?
Creating that wheel isn’t easy. It needs a great thinker, followed by an engineer’s hard work. It then needed a handyman (杂活工). Only then does it become easier to push the material using the machine. So, smart work is not easy at all.
Besides, being smart takes a lot of effort. People need to read more, keep learning new things, try to learn from others’ experiences and sharpen their thinking skills. They need to predict the results before putting any effort in any direction, and being able to manipulate the given resources (资源) to meet their needs.
Human beings are smart. The human history shows our smartness. We don’t need to go hunting for our food anymore, because we were smart enough to find out that farming could bring much more food with much less effort. We then developed modern tools for farming.
Humans also invented the Internet, the wheel, clothes, the smart phones—all the tools that help us to work smartly: All of this is hard, but that hard work makes us smart. Because of smartness, we are much better off today in terms of happiness and richness.
So remember: Work hard to become a smart person.
34. Which of the following is the example of smartness?
A. People go hunting for food. B. People read many books.
C. People use vehicles to carry things. D. People talk to others with body language.
35. Which of the following can be put in the blank (空白处)?
A. When can we work smartly B. How can we work smartly
C. Why do we need to work smartly D. Where can we work smartly
36. The underlined word “manipulate” in the fourth paragraph means ________.
A. to make use of B. to find out C. to ask for D. to think about
37. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Be Smart? B. What Is Smartness?
C. When to Work Hard? D. Hard Work? Smart Work!
【答案】34. C 35. B 36. A 37. D

I hurried into the local store to get some last-minute Christmas gifts. Surprised at the prices of the toys, I wondered if the grand kids would even play with them.
In the doll aisle (通道) , I saw a little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and held her gently. He counted his money with his aunt but found out it was not enough. Then his aunt asked the boy to wait and left.
Then I talked to him and knew the doll was for his sister who was in heaven (天堂) because of a car accident. His mother was going to be with her so he hoped his mother could take the doll to her. He also wanted his mother to take his photo with her so she wouldn’t ever forget him. He said he hoped to buy a white rose as well because mom loves white roses very much.
My heart nearly stopped beating. Noticing my sadness, the boy lowered his head and stopped talking. I reached into my purse and pulled out some bills and asked, “Shall we count your money again? ” He grew excited and said, “Yes, I just knew it had to be enough”. Quietly I put my money in with his and we began to count it. Of course, it was more than enough for the doll. He bought both the doll and a white rose. It was a great relief (宽慰) to find the smile on his face.
Two days later I read in the newspaper about a drunk driver hitting a car and killing a little girl and the mother. In the photo, the mother was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the little boy in the store.
The love that little boy had for his little sister and his mother was touching. I realized “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
38. How did the boy manage to buy the doll?
A. The writer gave active help to him. B. His aunt bought it for him.
C. He borrowed money from the writer. D. He had enough money himself.
39. What can you learn from the passage?
A. The boy's aunt didn’t want to buy him the doll.
B. The writer bought a doll and a rose for the boy.
C. The writer visited the boy after he knew the story.
D. The boy's sister and mother died in a car accident.
40. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
①A little boy wanted to buy gifts for his mother and sister.
②I helped the boy by quietly putting my money in with his.
③The boy bought both the doll and a white rose.
④A car accident happened.
A. ①-②-③-④ B. ①-②-④-③ C. ④-①-②-③ D. ④-①-③-②

C. Money is very important in life. D. Driving after drinking is dangerous.

Did you have any interesting dreams last night?
Our dreams come from a part of the brain that contains our thoughts and memories. A person can have up to six dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes. Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. Most people dream in color, usually with sound. And we usually dream about ourselves and the people we know.
Why do we dream?
Alan Siegel is a scientist who studies dreams, “Dreams help us get in touch with our deeper feelings.” he says. “They can tell us a lot about ourselves, and can help us understand problems.” Another scientist, Robert Stickgold, thinks dreams come from our memories. He believes we dream to remember, because memories are useful to the brain. Stickgold says the purpose of dreaming through these memories is to help us learn from the past.
Here are a few kinds of dreams and what people think they mean.
Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas

I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they came back. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots-one for rice and one for wheat.
Next, I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined to have a boat, so I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to launch, I realized I had my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant (不断的) labor.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

【答案】
One possible version
The book I’d like to share with you is The Little Prince.
I think this book is simple yet deeply meaningful. Though written for children, its lessons about life and human nature resonate with readers of all ages. It’s about a prince visiting planets and meeting adults symbolizing vanity and greed. Through his journey, he learns love and responsibility from a wise fox and a lonely pilot. From the prince, I learn three things: First, true friendship needs time and care. Second, what’s essential is felt by the heart, not seen. Third, keeping childlike curiosity helps us understand the world better.
