In spring 1955, Rosalynn Carter was doing what she had been avoiding since she married Jimmy Carter: keeping house and raising children in the same tiny town where they grew up.
But her husband called for help from his family’s farm one day and said that he couldn’t manage the farm on his own. So Rosalynn Carter gathered their sons and returned to the tiny town. Soon she was managing finances and handling customers. “Finally, I got used to our new life and knew more about the business than he did, and he would take my advice about things,” Rosalynn Carter told The Associated Press in 2021.
Their marriage was almost a decade old when she went to the farm, but that was perhaps the true beginning of a partnership that helped Jimmy Carter win the Georgia governor’s office in 1970 and then the White House in 1976. Six years later, they co-founded The Carter Center and committed themselves to charity work for four decades in more than 145 countries, where many children, now adults, were named Jimmy or Rosalynn or Carter. Along that path was a small-town love story that included 77 years of marriage and two decades of family friendship before that. Their shared journey ended on November 19, 2023, with Rosalynn’s death at the age of 96.
“It’s hard to think of one of them without the other,” said Jill Stuckey, a longtime friend who saw the couple often during Rosalynn Carter’s last months. “When Jimmy was president. she even attended all White House meetings and discussed what she heard with him at home. They had nightly phone calls when they traveled separately.”
“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished.” Jimmy Carter said in a statement released upon her death. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”
4. How did Rosalynn Carter probably feel when she was asked to work on the farm?
A. Interested. B. Unconcerned. C. Proud. D. Unwilling.
5. What did the Carters do in the early 1980s?
A. They bought a new farm in a small town.
B. They ran for the Georgia governor’s office.
C. They started to do charity work in the world.
D. They traveled in different countries as tourists.
6. What did Jill Stuckey say about the Carters?
A. Rosalynn Carter was an ambitious woman.
B. The couple were very attached to each other.
C Jimmy Carter was not a qualified president.
D. They should not share the secret information.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Young Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter’s Love Stories
B. The World’s Responses to Rosalynn Carter’s Death
C. The Close Bond Between Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter
D. The Lasting Relationship Between the Carters’ Families
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C

GitHub is going multi-model for its Copilot code completion and programming tool (副驾驶代码完成和编程工具). Developers will soon be able to choose models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI for GitHub Copilot. GitHub is also announcing Spark, an AI tool for building web apps, and updates to GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Copilot for Xcode, and more at its GitHub Universe conference today.
GitHub Copilot users on the web or VS Code can select Claude 3.5, with Gemini 1.5 Pro in the coming weeks. OpenAI’s GPT-4o, ol-preview, and ol-mini models will also be available in GitHub Copilot soon. Developers will be able to toggle (切换) between models during a conversation with Copilot Chat to find the model that’s best for a particular task.
“There is no one model to rule every scenario (场景), and developers expect the agency to build with the models that work best for them,” says GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke. “It is clear the next phase of AI code generation will not only be defined by multi-model functionality, but by multi-model choice.”
Microsoft-owned GitHub was the first to launch its AI tool called Copilot in 2021, ahead of Microsoft’s push to make Copilot the center of its AI efforts. It was the first major result of Microsoft’s initial $1 billion investment into OpenAI, and GitHub Copilot now has more than 1.8 million paid subscribers. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft adopts GitHub’ s multi-model approach and opens up its own Copilot AI assistant to models from rivals like Google and Anthropic.
GitHub is also announcing Spark today, an AI tool that makes it easier to build web apps using natural language. An initial prompt (初始提示) uses OpenAI and Anthropic models to produce live previews of what the web app will look like, and GitHub Spark users can compare versions as they make changes. GitHub Spark lets experienced developers directly manage code, while beginners can create a web app entirely using natural language.
Once the app is created, you can run it on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device and also share the app with others to let people remix and build on top of Spark apps. GitHub Spark is part of GitHub’s vision (愿景) to get to 1 billion developers. “For too long, there has been a barrier of entry separating a vast majority of the world’s population from building software,” says Dohnke. “With Spark, we will enable over one billion personal computer and mobile phone users to build and share their own micro apps directly on GitHub.”
GitHub is also announcing more updates to Copilot at its GitHub Universe today. Multi-file edit for GitHub Copilot in VS Code is arriving on November 1st, allowing users to make edits across multiple files at the same time using Copilot Chat. Copilot Extensions will also be available in early 2025, GitHub Copilot for Xcode enters public preview, and Copilot now has a new code review capability.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了GitHub Copilot即将支持多模型选择功能,并推出新的AI工具Spark以简化网页应用开发,同时宣布了多项更新计划。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Developers will soon be able to choose models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI for GitHub Copilot. (开发者很快就能为GitHub Copilot选择来自Anthropic、谷歌和OpenAI的模型)”可知,开发者不久后可以为GitHub Copilot选择来自Anthropic、OpenAI和谷歌的模型,所以C项“Developers can choose models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google for GitHub Copilot shortly.(开发人员可以在不久的将来为GitHub Copilot选择Anthropic、OpenAI和谷歌的模型)”是正确表述。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Developers will be able to toggle (切换) between models during a conversation with Copilot Chat to find the model that’s best for a particular task.(开发人员将能够在与Copilot聊天的对话中切换模型,以找到最适合特定任务的模型)”和第三段中“There is no one model to rule every scenario (场景), and developers expect the agency to build with the models that work best for them (没有一种模型能适用于所有场景,开发者希望能使用最适合他们的模型来进行开发)”可知,没有一种模型能适用于所有场景,开发者都希望能使用最适合他们的模型来进行开发,而GitHub Copilot能让开发者在对话中切换模型,以找到最适合特定任务的模型,从而满足开发者的需求。由此推知,开发人员希望代理软件提供最适合他们的模型进行构建,而GitHub Copilot满足了开发者的需求,所以获得了大量的用户。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Once the app is created, you can run it on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device and also share the app with others to let people remix and build on top of Spark apps.

Does Chinese philosophy influence your parenting? It is the question I am most often asked. Chinese philosophy contains many lessons that are useful, accessible and timely when applied to the challenges of parenting. Confucianism and Daoism suggest ways to guide your children toward meaning and fulfilment rather than wealth and fame.
Parenting is tough, especially because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Different kids need different things. How do we stay focused on what matters most? How do we navigate difficult times with our kids and support them when they struggle? All of us want our children to be successful, partly because we love them and want them to be happy. But it is easy to mistake “success” with certain kinds of academic or athletic achievements.
Of course, one can define success in this way. But ancient Chinese philosophers believed that real success is not measured by fame, money or power. A successful life is one in which a person flourishes: they are happy, fulfilled, and they find meaning in what they do and who they are. This type of fulfilment comes from loving and being loved by others within the context of meaningful, lasting relationships; giving generously of what you have to others; caring for and having a genuine love of nature; and shouldering your responsibility.
Most of us know that having an Ivy League degree and a high-paying job is not going to make our children happy and fulfilled in life. Yet we worry about how they will find things they love to do and that they are good at. Philosophers from the two most influential ancient Chinese traditions — Confucianism and Daoism — talk more about human flourishing, virtue, happiness and fulfilment than about “success”.
Chinese philosophers argued that we genuinely flourish — are happiest and most fulfilled — when we develop these virtues. This can never be measured in terms such as earning power, entering famous schools or getting jobs. Instead, it is measured in how we treat people — how one loves and is loved by one’s family and friends — and in what one does to make the world a kinder, gentler, more humane and beautiful place. They encourage us to help our children learn more about the world around them.
The Confucians and Daoists were a little like yin and yang: Confucians have a lot of active, hands-on ways to help children grow, such as participating in traditions, while the Daoists recommend simpler activities, such as exploring the beauty of nature. Their diverse views on living a good life are precisely what makes Chinese philosophy such a great resource for parents.
Parenting is messy. It is not simple or straightforward but complex and difficult. There are no magic solutions that make things easy or smooth. Most of us will need to piece together different approaches in order to find something that works well and feels right in different situations, for different children, and at different times in a child’s life.
12. According to the author, parenting is challenging because________.
A. Parents don’t know what success refers to
B. Children don’t believe in Chinese philosophy
C. There are many theories of parenting to choose
D. One can’t find a standard approach to suit every child
13. What is the opinion of ancient Chinese philosophers?
A. People who flourish can feel successful because they live a meaningful life.
B. Only when people make contribution to society can they feel successful.
C A successful life can be measured by reputation and wealth.
D. Success just means one should be friendly to nature.
14. What can we infer from this passage?
A. Confucians think graduating from famous university can make children intelligent and fulfilled.
B. Daoists are more influential than Confucians because of their simpler activities.
C. Confucians and Daoists together can provide parents abundant resources.
D. It is enough for parents to just learn Chinese Philosophy well.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting Chinese Philosophy to parenting?
A. Critical . B. Objective.
C. Indifferent. D. Suspicious.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Their diverse views on living a good life are precisely what makes Chinese philosophy such a great resource for parents.”(他们对美好生活的不同看法正是使中国哲学成为父母的巨大资源的原因。)和最后一段的“Parenting is messy. It is not simple or straightforward but complex and difficult. There are no magic solutions that make things easy or smooth.”(为人父母很麻烦。它不是简单或直接的,而是复杂和困难的。没有神奇的解决方案可以让事情变得简单或顺利。)可知作者认为中国哲学为父母提供了巨大的资源,但是为人父母是复杂困难的,没有什么神奇的解决方案使得育儿简单顺利,因此推断作者对将中国哲学应用于养育子女的态度是客观的。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了感恩作为一种强大的工具,在转变消极态度、培养更积极的人生观方面所起的作用。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Gratitude is a powerful tool for transforming negative attitudes and fostering a more positive outlook on life.(感恩是改变消极态度、培养更积极人生观的有力工具)”可知,首段末尾需总结感恩的益处并引出下文。A选项“感恩根植于认识和欣赏生活中美好事物的简单行为,它对心理、情感和社会都有深远的好处”概括心理、情感和社会益处,符合语境,故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Gratitude can significantly improve mental health. When individuals focus on what they are thankful for, they tend to dwell less on negative thoughts and feelings. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. This shift in focus can help reframe one’s mindset, promoting a more positive and resilient outlook. Emotionally, gratitude fosters a sense of well-being and contentment.(感恩可以显著改善心理健康。当人们专注于他们所感激的事情时,他们倾向于较少地思考消极的想法和感受。研究表明,感恩可以减轻抑郁和焦虑的症状。这种注意力的转移可以帮助重塑一个人的心态,促进一个更积极、更有弹性的前景。从情感上讲,感恩培养了一种幸福感和满足感)”以及后文“This emotional shift can lead to increased happiness and satisfaction. Furthermore, gratitude helps individuals build emotional strength, enabling them to better cope with stress an hardship.(这种情绪上的转变可以增加幸福感和满足感。此外,感恩有助于个人建立情感力量,使他们能够更好地应对压力和困难)”可知,前文提到感恩促进幸福感和满足感,后文强调“情感转变带来更多快乐”。C选项提到“通过认可生活中的积极面,人们能对抗嫉妒、怨恨和遗憾”,与前文“减少负面情绪”呼应,且解释了“情感转变”的具体表现,衔接自然。故C选项“通过承认生活的积极面,人们可以战胜嫉妒、怨恨和后悔的情绪”符合语境,故选C。

空处为本段小标题。根据后文“Incorporating gratitude into daily life is relatively simple but requires consistency. Keeping a gratitude journal, where one writes down things they are thankful for each day, is a practical way to cultivate this habit. Another effective practice is expressing gratitude directly to others, whether through a heartfelt note, a verbal “thank you”, or a small act of kindness.(将感恩融入日常生活相对简单,但需要持之以恒。写感恩日记,记下每天让自己感恩的事情,是培养这种习惯的一种实用方法。另一个有效的做法是直接向他人表达感激之情,无论是通过衷心的便条,口头上的“谢谢”,还是一个小小的善举)”可知,本句将感恩融入日常生活的方法(如写日记、直接表达感谢等),F选项“实际应用”符合题意,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Do they expand negativity or scarcity? If so, stop.(它们会扩大消极还是稀缺?如果是,停下来)”以及后文“That thought will begin an a shift in your awareness.(这种想法将开始你意识的转变)”可知,本句是对“停止消极想法”的具体行动指导,且与后文“开始转变意识”形成连贯的步骤逻辑。故G选项“想想你在那一刻感激的事情”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据后文“So when you are feeling sad, angry, or just off somehow, check-in with your thoughts, and see what you find. Gratitude is a simple yet powerful practice, gratitude holds the potential to transform lives and cultivate a more positive, fulfilling existence.(所以,当你感到悲伤、愤怒或不知道怎么回事的时候,检查一下你的想法,看看你发现了什么。感恩是一种简单而强大的实践,感恩有可能改变生活,培养更积极、更充实的生活)”可知,后文提到“情绪低落时,检查自己的想法”,并总结“情感随思想变化”。故E选项“永远记住,感觉追随思想”符合语境,故选E。

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。
It was December. The cold snow was falling as Kelly struggled home from school. How she hated the snow and everything else about Pine tree, Wyoming, America! How she missed China! “I hate it here! I want to go home!” Kelly thought.
She reached for a small white envelope in her pocket. In it was an invitation to Jennifer’s party. Kelly didn’t want to go. She felt embarrassed at the thought of being at a party with a bunch of kids she barely knew. She closed her eyes and remembered at this time of year people would celebrate the winter solstice in China. In the northern part of China most people would make dumplings to eat while southern Chinese would eat rice dumplings, chicken soup and bean curd.
Kelly sighed and pushed the door to her parents’ restaurant. They were busy working. “Maybe I should go just this once for Mum and Dad. They are so worried that I’m not making any friends.” Kelly went over and tied an apron (围裙) around her waist. As she was washing dishes, she told her mother that she had been invited to a party on Friday night. Mum smiled saying Kelly might be happy in their new home. Kelly nodded thinking Pine tree could never be her home.
On Friday evening, Dad drove Kelly to the party. Jennifer met her at the door and led her into the dining room. Six kids from her classes were seated around the table, on which small cookie dough were sitting — they were making cookies! Wow, Kelly loved making food! For this part of the party, she could be herself! She asked for some raw meat and cabbage and decided to make some dumplings. As she was making the dumpling wrappers, Jennifer wondered how she did it. The others joined staring at Kelly with admiration. Kelly felt a sense of joy welling up inside her. Maybe I could fit in here — a little, she thought.
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。
As the party went on, the talk turned to the coming festivals.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Time flew. Here came the Spring Festival.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As the party went on, the talk turned to the coming festivals. Kelly seized the opportunity and began to introduce the Spring Festival in China. She explained that in China, the Spring Festival was the most important time of the year, a time for family reunions and delicious food. She told them about the tradition of making dumplings, which symbolized wealth and good fortune. The kids were fascinated and asked her lots of questions. Kelly felt proud and happy to share her culture with them.
Time flew. Here came the Spring Festival. Kelly decided to invite her new friends to her parents’ restaurant to celebrate. They all came, and together they made dumplings, just like Kelly had done at the party. As they worked together, laughter filled the air, and Kelly felt a warmth in her heart that she hadn’t felt since arriving in Pine tree. She realized that she could fit in here, that Pine tree could be her new home. And as she looked around at her friends, she knew that she was no longer alone.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Kelly在美国怀俄明州感到孤独和思乡,不愿参加同学的聚会,但为了不让父母担心,她还是去了。在聚会上,她发现大家正在做饼干,而她决定包饺子,她的这一行为赢得了同学们的赞赏,让她感觉到自己也能融入新环境的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“随着聚会的进行,话题转到了即将到来的节日。”可知,第一段可描写Kelly向同学们介绍中国的春节,以及她包饺子的原因,同学们对此很感兴趣。
②由第二段首句内容“时间飞逝。春节到了。”可知,第二段可描写Kelly邀请同学们到她家的餐馆庆祝春节,大家一起包饺子,Kelly感受到了家的温暖,也更加融入了这里的生活。
2.续写线索:介绍春节——同学们感兴趣——邀请同学到餐馆庆祝春节——一起包饺子——Kelly感受到家的温暖——融入新环境
3.词汇激活
行为类:
①介绍:introduce/present
②庆祝:celebrate/observe
③融入:fit in/integrate into
情感类:
①着迷的:fascinated / captivated
②独自的:alone / solitary

In spring 1955, Rosalynn Carter was doing what she had been avoiding since she married Jimmy Carter: keeping house and raising children in the same tiny town where they grew up.
But her husband called for help from his family’s farm one day and said that he couldn’t manage the farm on his own. So Rosalynn Carter gathered their sons and returned to the tiny town. Soon she was managing finances and handling customers. “Finally, I got used to our new life and knew more about the business than he did, and he would take my advice about things,” Rosalynn Carter told The Associated Press in 2021.
Their marriage was almost a decade old when she went to the farm, but that was perhaps the true beginning of a partnership that helped Jimmy Carter win the Georgia governor’s office in 1970 and then the White House in 1976. Six years later, they co-founded The Carter Center and committed themselves to charity work for four decades in more than 145 countries, where many children, now adults, were named Jimmy or Rosalynn or Carter. Along that path was a small-town love story that included 77 years of marriage and two decades of family friendship before that. Their shared journey ended on November 19, 2023, with Rosalynn’s death at the age of 96.
“It’s hard to think of one of them without the other,” said Jill Stuckey, a longtime friend who saw the couple often during Rosalynn Carter’s last months. “When Jimmy was president. she even attended all White House meetings and discussed what she heard with him at home. They had nightly phone calls when they traveled separately.”
“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished.” Jimmy Carter said in a statement released upon her death. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”
4. How did Rosalynn Carter probably feel when she was asked to work on the farm?
A. Interested. B. Unconcerned. C. Proud. D. Unwilling.
5. What did the Carters do in the early 1980s?
A. They bought a new farm in a small town.
B. They ran for the Georgia governor’s office.
C. They started to do charity work in the world.
D. They traveled in different countries as tourists.
6. What did Jill Stuckey say about the Carters?
A. Rosalynn Carter was an ambitious woman.
B. The couple were very attached to each other.
C. Jimmy Carter was not a qualified president.
D. They should not share the secret information.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Young Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter’s Love Stories
B. The World’s Responses to Rosalynn Carter’s Death
C. The Close Bond Between Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter
D. The Lasting Relationship Between the Carters’ Families

GitHub is going multi-model for its Copilot code completion and programming tool (副驾驶代码完成和编程工具). Developers will soon be able to choose models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI for GitHub Copilot. GitHub is also announcing Spark, an AI tool for building web apps, and updates to GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Copilot for Xcode, and more at its GitHub Universe conference today.
GitHub Copilot users on the web or VS Code can select Claude 3.5, with Gemini 1.5 Pro in the coming weeks. OpenAI’s GPT-4o, ol-preview, and ol-mini models will also be available in GitHub Copilot soon. Developers will be able to toggle (切换) between models during a conversation with Copilot Chat to find the model that’s best for a particular task.
“There is no one model to rule every scenario (场景), and developers expect the agency to build with the models that work best for them,” says GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke. “It is clear the next phase of AI code generation will not only be defined by multi-model functionality, but by multi-model choice.”
Microsoft-owned GitHub was the first to launch its AI tool called Copilot in 2021, ahead of Microsoft’s push to make Copilot the center of its AI efforts. It was the first major result of Microsoft’s initial $1 billion investment into OpenAI, and GitHub Copilot now has more than 1.8 million paid subscribers. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft adopts GitHub’ s multi-model approach and opens up its own Copilot AI assistant to models from rivals like Google and Anthropic.
GitHub is also announcing Spark today, an AI tool that makes it easier to build web apps using natural language. An initial prompt (初始提示) uses OpenAI and Anthropic models to produce live previews of what the web app will look like, and GitHub Spark users can compare versions as they make changes. GitHub Spark lets experienced developers directly manage code, while beginners can create a web app entirely using natural language.
Once the app is created, you can run it on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device and also share the app with others to let people remix and build on top of Spark apps. GitHub Spark is part of GitHub’s vision (愿景) to get to 1 billion developers. “For too long, there has been a barrier of entry separating a vast majority of the world’s population from building software,” says Dohnke. “With Spark, we will enable over one billion personal computer and mobile phone users to build and share their own micro apps directly on GitHub.”
GitHub is also announcing more updates to Copilot at its GitHub Universe today. Multi-file edit for GitHub Copilot in VS Code is arriving on November 1st, allowing users to make edits across multiple files at the same time using Copilot Chat. Copilot Extensions will also be available in early 2025, GitHub Copilot for Xcode enters public preview, and Copilot now has a new code review capability.

Does Chinese philosophy influence your parenting? It is the question I am most often asked. Chinese philosophy contains many lessons that are useful, accessible and timely when applied to the challenges of parenting. Confucianism and Daoism suggest ways to guide your children toward meaning and fulfilment rather than wealth and fame.
Parenting is tough, especially because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Different kids need different things. How do we stay focused on what matters most? How do we navigate difficult times with our kids and support them when they struggle? All of us want our children to be successful, partly because we love them and want them to be happy. But it is easy to mistake “success” with certain kinds of academic or athletic achievements.
Of course, one can define success in this way. But ancient Chinese philosophers believed that real success is not measured by fame, money or power. A successful life is one in which a person flourishes: they are happy, fulfilled, and they find meaning in what they do and who they are. This type of fulfilment comes from loving and being loved by others within the context of meaningful, lasting relationships; giving generously of what you have to others; caring for and having a genuine love of nature; and shouldering your responsibility.
Most of us know that having an Ivy League degree and a high-paying job is not going to make our children happy and fulfilled in life. Yet we worry about how they will find things they love to do and that they are good at. Philosophers from the two most influential ancient Chinese traditions — Confucianism and Daoism — talk more about human flourishing, virtue, happiness and fulfilment than about “success”.
Chinese philosophers argued that we genuinely flourish — are happiest and most fulfilled — when we develop these virtues. This can never be measured in terms such as earning power, entering famous schools or getting jobs. Instead, it is measured in how we treat people — how one loves and is loved by one’s family and friends — and in what one does to make the world a kinder, gentler, more humane and beautiful place. They encourage us to help our children learn more about the world around them.
The Confucians and Daoists were a little like yin and yang: Confucians have a lot of active, hands-on ways to help children grow, such as participating in traditions, while the Daoists recommend simpler activities, such as exploring the beauty of nature. Their diverse views on living a good life are precisely what makes Chinese philosophy such a great resource for parents.
Parenting is messy. It is not simple or straightforward but complex and difficult. There are no magic solutions that make things easy or smooth. Most of us will need to piece together different approaches in order to find something that works well and feels right in different situations for different children, and at different times in a child’s life.
12. According to the author, parenting is challenging because________.
A. Parents don’t know what success refers to
B. Children don’t believe in Chinese philosophy
C. There are many theories of parenting to choose
D. One can’t find a standard approach to suit every child
13. What is the opinion of ancient Chinese philosophers?
A. People who flourish can feel successful because they live a meaningful life.
B. Only when people make contribution to society can they feel successful.
C. A successful life can be measured by reputation and wealth.
D. Success just means one should be friendly to nature.
14. What can we infer from this passage?
A. Confucians think graduating from famous university can make children intelligent and fulfilled.
B. Daoists are more influential than Confucians because of their simpler activities.
C. Confucians and Daoists together can provide parents abundant resources.
D. It is enough for parents to just learn Chinese Philosophy well.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting Chinese Philosophy to parenting?
A. Critical . B. Objective.
C. Indifferent. D. Suspicious.

It was December. The cold snow was falling as Kelly struggled home from school. How she hated the snow and everything else about Pine tree, Wyoming, America! How she missed China! “I hate it here! I want to go home!” Kelly thought.
She reached for a small white envelope in her pocket. In it was an invitation to Jennifer’s party. Kelly didn’t want to go. She felt embarrassed at the thought of being at a party with a bunch of kids she barely knew. She closed her eyes and remembered at this time of year people would celebrate the winter solstice in China. In the northern part of China most people would make dumplings to eat while southern Chinese would eat rice dumplings, chicken soup and bean curd.
Kelly sighed and pushed the door to her parents’ restaurant. They were busy working. “Maybe I should go just this once for Mum and Dad. They are so worried that I’m not making any friends.” Kelly went over and tied an apron (围裙) around her waist. As she was washing dishes, she told her mother that she had been invited to a party on Friday night. Mum smiled saying Kelly might be happy in their new home. Kelly nodded thinking Pine tree could never be her home.
On Friday evening, Dad drove Kelly to the party. Jennifer met her at the door and led her into the dining room. Six kids from her classes were seated around the table, on which small cookie dough were sitting — they were making cookies! Wow, Kelly loved making food! For this part of the party, she could be herself! She asked for some raw meat and cabbage and decided to make some dumplings. As she was making the dumpling wrappers, Jennifer wondered how she did it. The others joined staring at Kelly with admiration. Kelly felt a sense of joy welling up inside her. Maybe I could fit in here — a little, she thought.
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。
As the party went on, the talk turned to the coming festivals.
