A good book can transport us to magical places. Here are four ideas from the literary world that may bring about your own adventures.
1. Louisa May Alcott, Concord, Massachusetts
For decades, young readers have been attracted by the adventures detailed in the novel of Little Women. We have the option to visit the home of Louisa May Alcott, the novelist who composed the story around the relationships within her own family. You can take a guided tour and get a view of how the characters’ family lived in the home known as Orchard House. Many of the family’ s treasures remain in the well-preserved structure.

Best-selling novelist Zane Grey created strong stories detailing the life and culture of the American West. Through titles like Call of the Canyon, Riders of the Purple Sage and The Thundering Herd, Grey’s tales inspired many to explore a new country. Visit his birthplace in Zanesville, Ohio. You can also visit a copy of his Arizona cottage (the original burned in a 1990 wildfire), which served as his home base while exploring and writing.
3. Where the Wild Things Are
Why not use this creative book as the centerpiece of a wild and wonderful weekend with the kids?

Channel the adventuresome spirit of one of the planet’s most inspired writers with a plan to explore more than 26 miles of hiking, horseback and cycling trails across 1, 400 acres in the Sonoma Valley.

That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli.The 30yearold social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers.“The graph of student performance is falling every year.It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets — basic grammar skills are missing and there’s an absence of any cohesive (连贯的) expression.They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said.When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passersby could spend time reading.The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children.“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.
Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.
Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar.Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said.“Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends.The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things.I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added.
24. What’s the aim of Meena’s reading program?
A. To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
B To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D. To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
25. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?
A. She offered some rewards to them.
B. She provided them with transportation.
C. She chose novels with beautiful covers.
D. She selected books covering every category.
26. Which words can best describe Meena’s libraries?
A. Small and useless.
B. Influential and meaningful.
C. Large but impractical.
D. Widespread but unwelcome.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Books:Sources of Knowledge
B. The Roadside Reading Corner
C. The Library:an Ideal place for the Young
D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫Meena的女教师发现孩子们缺乏阅读后,决定开设一个路边的读书角,以激励他们多读书的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero(他们缺乏指导,他们的阅读文化几乎为零)”以及第二段中的“Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passersby could spend time reading.(2020年8月30日,Meena在尼尔朱利的路边搭建了一个书架,书架上有大约80本书和一些长凳,路人可以在那里花时间阅读。)”可知,Meena阅读计划的目的是关心那些缺乏阅读条件的年轻人,故选A。
【25题详解】

Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the restrictions of a city, is becoming increasingly popular and is viewed as a sustainable alternative to big industrial farms. By some estimates, between 20% and 30% of the global urban population engages in some form of urban agriculture. But until recently, its carbon footprint remains understudied.
Using data from 73 low-tech city farms, community gardens and personal plots of land, Newell and his team compared the average carbon emissions of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to those of conventionally grown crops. The team found that because of urban gardens’ relatively low yields, along with the energy used in constructing the planting beds, big-city spuds (马铃薯) were significantly more carbon-intensive than commercially grown ones. This held true even when the researchers factored in emissions from transporting commercially grown produce to often distant grocery stores. That doesn’t mean that growing vegetables in big cities is totally bad, however. “Urban farming is great, ” if imperfect, says Carola Grebitus, a food choice expert. It can be a powerful tool for job creation and education, she says, and a good way to introduce fresh produce to urban “food deserts” where healthy fruits and vegetables are hard to come by. Community gardens can also provide a place to connect with nature, and the added green space can reduce the risks of heat and flooding.
Conscious of these benefits, Newell’s team highlighted several ways to make urban agriculture more sustainable. One option is to be selective about what crops are grown. For instance, tomatoes grown in the soil of open-air urban plots had a lower carbon intensity than tomatoes grown in conventional greenhouses. Another strategy is to rely on existing constructions. Include old structures into a new garden’s design instead of taking down old buildings. Finally, take the local climate, water quality and soil into account. Growing plants that are ill-suited to an area requires more water, energy and pesticides (杀虫剂), all of which affect the environment.
28. What can we know about urban agriculture from paragraph 1?
A. It is thoroughly researched. B. It is welcomed by city people.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is limited to industrial farms.
29. How does the author explain the reason for urban agriculture’s higher carbon intensity?
A. By making a comparison. B. By telling a story.
C. By giving a definition. D. By using a quote.
30. According to Carola, what is a benefit of urban agriculture?
A. It adds variety to urban people’s diet. B. It provides recreational opportunities.
C. It strengthens the bonds of community. D. It helps to contain drought and flooding.
31. What is recommended to make urban agriculture more sustainable?
A. Reconstructing gardens. B. Developing greenhouse crops.
C. Selecting pesticide-free vegetables. D. Growing plants suited to local conditions.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市农业受欢迎,其缺点和优点以及确保城市农业可持续性的策略。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the restrictions of a city, is becoming increasingly popular and is viewed as a sustainable alternative to big industrial farms. By some estimates, between 20% and 30% of the global urban population engages in some form of urban agriculture.(城市农业,即在城市范围内进行耕作的做法,正变得越来越受欢迎,并被视为大型工业化农场的可持续替代品。据估计,全球20%至30%的城市人口从事某种形式的都市农业。)”可知,从第一段我们可以知道城市农业受到城市居民的欢迎。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Using data from 73 low-tech city farms, community gardens and personal plots of land, Newell and his team compared the average carbon emissions of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to those of conventionally grown crops.(利用73个低技术含量的城市农场、社区花园和个人土地的数据,Newell和他的团队比较了低技术含量的城市农业场所生产的食物的平均碳排放量与传统种植的作物的碳排放量。)”可推知,作者通过作比较的方法来解释城市农业碳强度较高的原因。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““Urban farming is great,” if imperfect, says Carola Grebitus, a food choice expert. It can be a powerful tool for job creation and education, she says, and a good way to introduce fresh produce to urban “food deserts” where healthy fruits and vegetables are hard to come by.(食物选择专家卡罗拉·格里比特斯(Carola Grebitus)说,“城市农业很好,”虽然不完美。她说,这可以成为创造就业和教育的有力工具,也是向难以获得健康水果和蔬菜的城市“食物沙漠”引入新鲜农产品的好方法。)”可推知,城市农业的好处之一是它增加了城市居民饮食的多样性。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Finally, take the local climate, water quality and soil into account. Growing plants that are ill-suited to an area requires more water, energy and pesticides (杀虫剂), all of which affect the environment.(最后,要考虑当地的气候、水质和土壤。种植不适合某一地区的植物需要更多的水、能源和杀虫剂,所有这些都会影响环境)”可知,文章建议种植适合当地条件的植物,这样可以使城市农业更加可持续发展。故选D。
D
Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻).
Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions.
Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.
An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.
The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive.
32. What does the study find about metaphors?
A. They make language more poetic. B. They help clarify abstract concepts.
C. They may cause conflicts between people. D. They can shape people's minds and behavior.
33. What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Realize. B. Overlook. C. Emphasize. D. Acknowledge.
34. How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor?
A. It stresses the importance of natural talent. B. It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas.
C. It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D. It indicates consistent efforts of individuals.
35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To call on people to use metaphors properly.
B. To present the potential limitations of metaphors.
C. To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors.
D. To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了比喻在生活中的应用,以及其带来的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions.(Purchase学院进行的一项研究发现,比喻可以塑造人们的视角,从而塑造他们的推理和随后的行动。)”可知,比喻可以塑造人们的思想和行为。故选D项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.(另一个例子是灯泡比喻,通常用于描述新想法,表明新想法突然出现,就像电灯开关被打开一样。然而,这个比喻意味着新想法毫不费力地出现,只有少数天才才能获得,比如艾萨克·牛顿,他被认为是从突然发现一个掉落的苹果中发展出他的引力理论的。这可能会导致人们质疑自己产生新闻想法的能力,作为一种行为后果,人们可能会underestimate努力工作和持续学习在带来变革方面的作用。)”可知,作者在本段阐述灯泡比喻,利用牛顿的例子来表达灯泡比喻会使人过分强调天赋、对自己的能力产生质疑,相应地对勤奋努力的价值则有所忽视、低估。因此推断画线词与overlook意思相近。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.(与灯泡的比喻不同,种子的比喻暗示了一种理解,即产生新的想法是一个艰苦的过程,需要时间和精力。它还表明,任何人都可以成为思想的培养者,只要他们用心去做。)”可知,将一个种子培育成长需要长期的关注和养护,种子比喻的显著特征是它表明个人的持续努力。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive.(考虑到我们比喻思维的本质,我们有必要问:我们的比喻合适吗?为了自己和他人,我们有责任恰当地使用比喻。这些选择——有意识的或无意识的——可能是建设性的,也可能是破坏性的。)”可知,作者在最后一段提出问题,告诫读者要恰当合理地使用比喻,显然目的是呼吁人们正确使用比喻。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most of us associate awe (敬畏) with something rare and beautiful: nature, music or a spiritual experience. But people can waken awe too, and not just public heroes. Research shows that we can be awed by our nearest and dearest — the people sitting next to us on the couch, chatting on the other end of the phone, looking back at us over Zoom. ____36____
Often, interpersonal awe is a response to life’s big, sweeping changes, such as witnessing a baby’s first steps. ____37____ John Bargh said he was “truly awestruck” — by his 5-year-old daughter while dining in a McDonald’s. When she heard another child crying, she grabbed the toy from her Happy Meal, walked over to the boy and handed it to him.
Though we can’t make someone else behave in a way that’s awesome, we can prepare ourselves to notice it when they do and boost the emotion’s positive effects.
Question your assumptions. Do you believe your partner is insensitive or your sibling is selfish? There may be a little truth to that, but it’s never the whole tale. ____38____ To increase your chances of feeling awed by the other person, ask yourself what’s going on in his or her life that you don’t know about.
Name awe when you see it. Speaking out “Wow, that was awesome!” is a simple way to help you identify and remember a special experience. Savor (品味) it in the moment and then tell others about it. This will reinforce your positive emotions. ____39____ Studies show that you will feel awe again simply by remembering an awe experience.
____40____ This makes the other person feel good and can give your relationship a boost. And it will help you too: Studies show that people who practice gratitude have significantly higher levels of happiness and psychological well-being.
A. Thank the person who awed you.
B. And recall it or write about it later.
C. Psychologists call this interpersonal awe.
D. It’s easy to forget that it can be awesome too.
E. But interpersonal awe does happen in smaller moments.
F. Here’s why you should recognize those moments of interpersonal awe.
G The story you tell yourself gets in the way of catching people at their best.
【答案】36. C 37. E 38. G 39. B 40. A

【38题详解】
根据前文“There may be a little truth to that, but it’s never the whole tale.(这可能有一点道理,但绝不是全部。)”和后文“To increase your chances of feeling awed by the other person, ask yourself what’s going on in his or her life that you don’t know about.(为了增加你对对方感到敬畏的机会,问问自己他或她的生活中发生了什么你不知道的事情。)”可知,本段讨论从自己角度出发的想法可能会扭曲了他人真实的面貌,妨碍人际敬畏的产生,建议倾听别人的叙述,空处会说明这一妨碍,起到衔接的作用。G项“你给自己讲的故事会妨碍你抓住别人最好的一面。”符合语境。故选G。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Name awe when you see it.(当你看到敬畏的时候,表达出来。)”、“Savor (品味) it in the moment and then tell others about it.(在那一刻品味它,然后告诉别人。)”和后文“Studies show that you will feel awe again simply by remembering an awe experience.(研究表明,只要回忆起敬畏的经历,你就会再次感到敬畏。)”可知,本段讨论积极地表达、回味、体验敬畏,空处需承接前文的这两个建议,进一步讨论如何对待敬畏的感受,呼应后文的回忆。B项“然后回忆一下或者写下来。”符合语境,其中的“recall”和后文的“remembering”呼应。故选B。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Hoarding (囤积症) is a disorder where a person collects items and stores them in a typically chaotic manner, so that their environment grows messy or begins to block the person’s ability to live their life. The hoarded items will not ____56____ (necessary) have monetary value, because hoarding behavior is more often a sign of other absorption and anxiety in a person’s life ____57____ a reflection of the value of the items themselves.

57. than 58. throwing
59. linked 60. to look
61. which 62. a
63. beliefs
64. will make
65. What
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。囤积症是一种无序收藏物品的病症,成因因人而异,与情绪问题相关,解决困难,需关注外部压力影响 。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:囤积的物品不一定有金钱价值,因为与其说囤积行为是物品本身价值的反映,不如说更多时候是一个人生活中其他注意力集中和焦虑的一种表现。have为谓语动词,需用副词修饰,necessary的副词形式是necessarily,作状语,not necessarily表示“不一定”,符合句意。故填necessarily。
【57题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:囤积的物品不一定有金钱价值,因为与其说囤积行为是物品本身价值的反映,不如说更多时候是一个人生活中其他注意力集中和焦虑的一种表现。根据“more often”可知,此处考查“more...than...”结构,意为“与其说……不如说……”。故填than。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一些囤积者保存物品是因为他们可以想象到未来对这些物品的用途,而另一些人则因为悲伤或恐惧的原因而抗拒扔掉这些物品。此空考查resist doing sth.,为固定用法,意为“抗拒做某事”,所以throw要用动名词形式throwing作宾语。故填throwing。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:实际上,囤积症与焦虑、情绪低落或抑郁有关,它并不是因为人们懒惰或不讲卫生。这里考查be linked to,表示“与……有关”,此处hoarding与link之间是逻辑被动关系,应用过去分词linked作状语,省略了being。故填linked。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当人们在情感上挣扎时,他们并不总是有精力照顾自己,更不用说他们的家了。此空考查have the energy to do sth., 为固定用法,意为“有精力做某事”,所以look要用动词不定式形式to look。故填to look。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:作为对悲伤和失去的回应,人们有时会无节制地收集物品,从这种意义上说,囤积症可以是一种自我忽视的形式,经历囤积症的人值得支持和同情。这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子people sometimes turn to uncontrolled items collecting,用关系代词which替代了词组in this sense中的this。in which sense,表示“从这种意义上说”,其在定语从句中表示对先行词在特定语义或逻辑层面的修饰,通常用于抽象概念的限定或说明。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:作为对悲伤和失去的回应,人们有时会无节制地收集物品,从这种意义上说,囤积症可以是一种自我忽视的形式,经历囤积症的人值得支持和同情。form为可数名词,此处泛指“一种形式”,应用不定冠词修饰,且form为辅音音素开始的单词,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:解决囤积问题,尤其是当这种行为是其他可以理解的信念的一种延伸时,是很困难的。“otherwise understandable”为形容词短语修饰名词,belief为可数名词,根据语境此处应用复数形式beliefs。故填beliefs。
【64题详解】
考查时态。句意:然而,围绕物品管理制定一些体系和步骤,在未来会让那些囤积者的日常生活变得更轻松,减少这种囤积倾向。这里考查谓语动词,主语putting systems and steps in place around item management与make为主动关系,根据in the future可知,句子描述的是将来的事情,应用一般将来时。故填will make。
【65题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:重要的是要意识到外部压力可能会促使个人产生或加深囤积行为的这种方式。“____ is important”为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指物,所以用连接代词what引导该从句,且句首时首字母应大写。故填What。

67. 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。
Our family outing to the all-you-can-eat buffet turned into an evening to remember. The atmosphere was lively and busy, with the noise of plates and the sound of conversations creating a warm and inviting setting. The smell of freshly cooked food floated through the air, inviting everyone to try a little bit of everything. The buffet was a feast for the senses, with steaming trays of dishes from all over the world. The kids were particularly thrilled at the sight of the dessert section, which they had been eagerly longing for all week. Their eyes widening at the array of cakes, ice creams, and pastries, they quickly made plans to sample everything.
As we sat down to enjoy our meals, chatting cheerfully about the various food options, my husband’s attention was drawn to an elderly man standing by the chocolate milk dispenser (分液器). The man seemed determined, but his hands were shaking, making it difficult for him to fill two glasses. My husband watched him for a moment, a concerned look on his face. “Now, how on earth is he going to carry that milk back to his table?” he wondered aloud, his eyes narrowing in thought. He noticed the man’s expression of concentration and effort, and a wave of sympathy made him restless. The kids, absorbed in their plates, hadn’t noticed, but my husband couldn’t look away.
I glanced at my husband and raised my eyebrows (眉毛) with a knowing smile. He immediately understood my silent message. The next moment, without a word, he got up from his seat and approached the elderly gentleman. I watched as he gently placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, offering a kind smile. I felt a warm wave of pride and admiration for my husband. His kind-hearted nature always managed to shine through in moments like these, making me realize how lucky I was to have him by my side.
注意:
1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右;

【答案】参考范文:
“May I help you with that?” my husband asked kindly. The elderly man looked up, his eyebrows raised in mild shock, but then relief washed over his face as he sighed softly. He nodded appreciatively, his eyes conveying his gratitude. “Thank you, young man,” he said. My husband and the elderly man walked side by side, their steps harmonizing. When they reached the table, the elderly man grasped my husband’s hand in a firm, heartfelt handshake. With a warm smile, he said, “You’re a good man, thank you once again.”
As he sat down, he gave me a small nod, and we continued our meal. The mood around our table was even more cheerful, and the kids, who had observed the interaction, were full of questions and comments. “That was so nice, Dad!” one of them exclaimed, eyes wide with admiration. Our dinner that night was not just about the food but about the small act of kindness that can make a big difference in someone’s day. It reminded us that taking a moment to help others is a simple yet profound way to connect and spread a little joy.

That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli.The 30yearold social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers.“The graph of student performance is falling every year.It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets — basic grammar skills are missing and there’s an absence of any cohesive (连贯的) expression.They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said.When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passersby could spend time reading.The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children.“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.
Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.
Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar.Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said.“Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends.The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things.I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added.
24. What’s the aim of Meena’s reading program?
A. To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
B. To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D. To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
25. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?
A. She offered some rewards to them.
B. She provided them with transportation.
C. She chose novels with beautiful covers.
D. She selected books covering every category.
26. Which words can best describe Meena’s libraries?
A. Small and useless.
B. Influential and meaningful.
C. Large but impractical.
D. Widespread but unwelcome.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Books:Sources of Knowledge
B. The Roadside Reading Corner
C. The Library:an Ideal place for the Young
D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan
C
Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the restrictions of a city, is becoming increasingly popular and is viewed as a sustainable alternative to big industrial farms. By some estimates, between 20% and 30% of the global urban population engages in some form of urban agriculture. But until recently, its carbon footprint remains understudied.
Using data from 73 low-tech city farms, community gardens and personal plots of land, Newell and his team compared the average carbon emissions of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to those of conventionally grown crops. The team found that because of urban gardens’ relatively low yields, along with the energy used in constructing the planting beds, big-city spuds (马铃薯) were significantly more carbon-intensive than commercially grown ones. This held true even when the researchers factored in emissions from transporting commercially grown produce to often distant grocery stores. That doesn’t mean that growing vegetables in big cities is totally bad, however. “Urban farming is great, ” if imperfect, says Carola Grebitus, a food choice expert. It can be a powerful tool for job creation and education, she says, and a good way to introduce fresh produce to urban “food deserts” where healthy fruits and vegetables are hard to come by. Community gardens can also provide a place to connect with nature, and the added green space can reduce the risks of heat and flooding.
Conscious of these benefits, Newell’s team highlighted several ways to make urban agriculture more sustainable. One option is to be selective about what crops are grown. For instance, tomatoes grown in the soil of open-air urban plots had a lower carbon intensity than tomatoes grown in conventional greenhouses. Another strategy is to rely on existing constructions. Include old structures into a new garden’s design instead of taking down old buildings. Finally, take the local climate, water quality and soil into account. Growing plants that are ill-suited to an area requires more water, energy and pesticides (杀虫剂), all of which affect the environment.
28. What can we know about urban agriculture from paragraph 1?
A. It is thoroughly researched. B. It is welcomed by city people.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is limited to industrial farms.
29. How does the author explain the reason for urban agriculture’s higher carbon intensity?
A. By making a comparison. B. By telling a story.
C. By giving a definition. D. By using a quote.
30. According to Carola, what is a benefit of urban agriculture?
A. It adds variety to urban people’s diet. B. It provides recreational opportunities.
C. It strengthens the bonds of community. D. It helps to contain drought and flooding.
31 What is recommended to make urban agriculture more sustainable?
A. Reconstructing gardens. B. Developing greenhouse crops.
C. Selecting pesticide-free vegetables. D. Growing plants suited to local conditions.
D
Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻).
Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions.
Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.
An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.
The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive.
32. What does the study find about metaphors?
A. They make language more poetic. B. They help clarify abstract concepts.
C. They may cause conflicts between people. D. They can shape people's minds and behavior.
33. What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Realize. B. Overlook. C. Emphasize. D. Acknowledge.
34. How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor?
A. It stresses the importance of natural talent. B. It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas.
C. It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D. It indicates consistent efforts of individuals.
35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To call on people to use metaphors properly.
B. To present the potential limitations of metaphors.
C. To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors.
D. To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation.

Most of us associate awe (敬畏) with something rare and beautiful: nature, music or a spiritual experience. But people can waken awe too, and not just public heroes. Research shows that we can be awed by our nearest and dearest — the people sitting next to us on the couch, chatting on the other end of the phone, looking back at us over Zoom. ____36____
Often, interpersonal awe is a response to life’s big, sweeping changes, such as witnessing a baby’s first steps. ____37____ John Bargh said he was “truly awestruck” — by his 5-year-old daughter while dining in a McDonald’s. When she heard another child crying, she grabbed the toy from her Happy Meal, walked over to the boy and handed it to him.
Though we can’t make someone else behave in a way that’s awesome, we can prepare ourselves to notice it when they do and boost the emotion’s positive effects.
Question your assumptions. Do you believe your partner is insensitive or your sibling is selfish? There may be a little truth to that, but it’s never the whole tale. ____38____ To increase your chances of feeling awed by the other person, ask yourself what’s going on in his or her life that you don’t know about.
Name awe when you see it. Speaking out “Wow, that was awesome!” is a simple way to help you identify and remember a special experience. Savor (品味) it in the moment and then tell others about it. This will reinforce your positive emotions. ____39____ Studies show that you will feel awe again simply by remembering an awe experience.
____40____ This makes the other person feel good and can give your relationship a boost. And it will help you too: Studies show that people who practice gratitude have significantly higher levels of happiness and psychological well-being.
A. Thank the person who awed you.
B. And recall it or write about it later.
C. Psychologists call this interpersonal awe.
D. It’s easy to forget that it can be awesome too.
E. But interpersonal awe does happen in smaller moments.
F. Here’s why you should recognize those moments of interpersonal awe.
G The story you tell yourself gets in the way of catching people at their best.

67. 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。
Our family outing to the all-you-can-eat buffet turned into an evening to remember. The atmosphere was lively and busy, with the noise of plates and the sound of conversations creating a warm and inviting setting. The smell of freshly cooked food floated through the air, inviting everyone to try a little bit of everything. The buffet was a feast for the senses, with steaming trays of dishes from all over the world. The kids were particularly thrilled at the sight of the dessert section, which they had been eagerly longing for all week. Their eyes widening at the array of cakes, ice creams, and pastries, they quickly made plans to sample everything.
As we sat down to enjoy our meals, chatting cheerfully about the various food options, my husband’s attention was drawn to an elderly man standing by the chocolate milk dispenser (分液器). The man seemed determined, but his hands were shaking, making it difficult for him to fill two glasses. My husband watched him for a moment, a concerned look on his face. “Now, how on earth is he going to carry that milk back to his table?” he wondered aloud, his eyes narrowing in thought. He noticed the man’s expression of concentration and effort, and a wave of sympathy made him restless. The kids, absorbed in their plates, hadn’t noticed, but my husband couldn’t look away.
I glanced at my husband and raised my eyebrows (眉毛) with a knowing smile. He immediately understood my silent message. The next moment, without a word, he got up from his seat and approached the elderly gentleman. I watched as he gently placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, offering a kind smile. I felt a warm wave of pride and admiration for my husband. His kind-hearted nature always managed to shine through in moments like these, making me realize how lucky I was to have him by my side.
