Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do it yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.
She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derck Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derck to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.”
Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit (存款) when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.”
With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over that coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifths wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.
4. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1?
A. An artist. B. A winner C. An expert D. A pioneer.
5. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day?
A. For a birthday gift. B. To encourage her to take up a hobby.
C. To support her DIY projects. D. As a treat for her work.
6. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented?
A. By making it look like before. B. By making furniture herself.
C By sharing the rent with a roommate. D. By ending the rental agreement.
7. What trend in DIY does the research show?
A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is gaining popularity among females.
C. It is turning into a seasonal industry. D. It is getting more time-consuming.
C
A dog can be a person’s best friend, or so the theory goes. But that relationship can be tested when a dog begins barking at an empty comer of a room, at a door, or anywhere where there doesn’t appear to be any activity at all taking place. Is the dog hallucinating? Is it communicating with ET? Or does it simply want to drive its owner crazy?
According to the American Kennel Club, the most common explanation for dogs’ barking without reasons is that it’s not really unprompted at all. Dogs are, obviously, equipped with superior hearing, including the ability to detect sounds that are higher in pitch. It is said a dog could be reacting to a noise that a person wouldn’t be able to hear. If a dog barks seemingly for no apparent reason at night, it might be because the noise nearby is lessened and some barking of other dogs become more clearly. Because dogs are territorial, one dog barking can turn into many others to guard themselves.
Dogs are also able to see better in the dark than humans thanks to their ability to get more light into their retinas (视网膜). If a dog is reacting to what looks to you like an empty backyard at night, it’s possible that something has caught their attention, be it a wild animal, a leaf, or a stranger.
That’s not to say that dogs only bark because of their cute senses. Some dogs might bark out of boredom in which case more exercise or play time is probably needed. They might also be trying to get their owner’s attention.
The AKC recommends that owners avoid scolding their dogs for barking, since they’re simply trying to remain alert, instead, you can try calming the dog to let them know you’re aware of their concern. If they tend to bark while gazing out a window, you can also try to pull the curtains. If you suspect the source is an audio cue, some white noise, like a television or radio can help.
Less often, chronic barking might be a sign of cognitive issues. If barking is persistent and no fugitive is hiding out in your bushes, then you might consider a trip to the vet.
8. According to the passage, which factors won’t make dogs barking at nothing?
A. Its madness. B. Its visual sense. C. Its acute hearing. D. Its boredom.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. A dog barks in order to make friends with other dogs.
B. The surrounding noise being lessened will make a dog frightened.
C. A dog can react to a noise as acutely as a person.
D. A dog always has the awareness of its domain.
10. What should the owner do with the dog’s barking from the AKC’s recommendation?
A. Leaving it alone. B. Scolding it seriously.
C. Comforting it. D. Playing some soft music.
11. This passage is probably taken from?
A. an experiment report B. a mental discovery
C. a school textbook D. a science fiction
D
An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote that “it is not from the benevolence (慈善) of the butcher, the brewer or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.” Like Smith, many economists today believe one’s self-interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have cooperative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future.
Firstly, cooperation is an especially prized soft skill in the present age. As a study proves, soft skills such as good communication and empathy (共情) indicate outstanding employees as compared to technical skills or knowledge. In contrast, extremely competitive and individualistic behavior may damage social relations in the community of co-workers. Even the most competent employee may fail to pursue his goals effectively without others’ help.
Moreover, encouraging cooperation boost children’s self-respect that better prepares them for the competitive world. Many modern societies are consumed by a crazy drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices, causing higher rates of anxiety and depression among people. Teamwork can help an individual realize each has his or her own unique abilities and that another person’s strengths don’t discount his or her talents. Thus, cooperation can confirm children’s self-worth by correcting the insight that winning or paper achievement is the only measure of success.
However, critics may claim adapting to competition should be given priority in education and parenting. To achieve one’s ambitions, one has to actively fight for opportunities and distinguish oneself from others. Nevertheless, since passion can already stimulate children to fulfill their ambitions, the need to encourage competition may be at the end of the day. As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or even more essential, and cooperation plays an instrumental role in helping one uncover one’s motivations.
12. What can be inferred from Adam Smith’s words?
A. Our society is increasingly interconnected.
B. Our dinner is made out of the regards to markets.
C. Self-interest pushes the development of economies.
D. The butcher, the brewer or the baker is not sympathetic.
13. What does the underlined word “infiltrated ” mean in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Brightened. B. Decorated. C. Defended. D. Entered.
14. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Paper achievement is the only measure of success.
B. One’s ambitions can be achieved through cooperation.
C. Competition is not necessary for people to pursue excellence.
D. Actively fighting for distinguishing oneself should be prioritized.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To introduce the advantages of cooperation.
B. To compare cooperation with competition.
C. To suggest enhancing competitive skills.
D To advocate teaching children to cooperate.

【61题答案】
【答案】
Music: A Universal Language
Dear fellow students,
Good morning! I’m honored to deliver a speech whose title is “Music: A Universal Language”.
Music, a true universal language, needs no translation. Be it African drums’ rhythms, Chinese guzheng’s gentle tunes, or Beethoven’s passionate symphonies, it bridges cultures, conveys emotions words can’t, and unites hearts.
For me, music is a constant companion. Amid homework, light piano music helps me relax and focus. On weekends, singing with the music club relieves stress and strengthens friendship. It teaches that beauty lies in simplicity and harmony comes from diverse notes — lessons for daily life.
Let’s embrace music: join a choir, learn an instrument, or just listen. Let it enrich minds, heal souls, and unite us as a global family.
Yours,
President of the School Music Club
