Now, there are three groups of us on this trip, and we’ll be using three tourist buses to get to and from the palace. They each have numbers on the front, and ours is Bus 2. The palace is probably going to be very busy, so please stay close to me when we get there. If you lose me, head for the main gate which is opposite the ticket office, and you’ll find me there. Now, these days, the palace is a museum, but you’ll be surprised to hear that people still live there. No, they’re not kings or queens but local people who work at the palace, and their families. Many of them wear traditional clothes, so they are good for a photograph. But please ask them if it’s OK before doing this. These people may also offer to sell you small wooden and stone products that they’ve made. They’ll probably ask you for about $20 or so for these, but it’s perfectly acceptable to offer them less. 30 percent below the asking price would be an acceptable figure, but please don’t try to go lower than that. OK, that’s all. Now let’s start our enjoyable trip.

In 2011, an iPhone fell into my hands. This smart technology seemed like an entrance to fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging.
However, six years later, I had become horribly chained to it. Recent reports show that I’m not the only one. According to a 2017 study the average American spends 5 hours a day on smart devices and about 2.5 hours are spent on social media, messaging, news and entertainment applications.
It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. But now, I fall asleep next to my phone every night and wake to it each morning. I check the weather app every morning before I choose how to dress for the day. I use it to help me navigate(导航)a city I should know well enough on my own. I update my inbox every time I pick up my phone.
As with any addiction, my phone dependency began to impact my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of engaging at a level I would have a few years back. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across the dinner table, share the joys of experiencing a concert or kiss me goodnight before bed.
Now, I move through life with more purpose and intention. I’ve cut back on carelessly giving away my limited time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focused my efforts on being as present as possible. Training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere.
I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought.
24. What can best describe Americans’ use of smart technology?
A. They are ruined by it. B. They are inspired by it.
C. They are tied to it D. They are good at it.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. She became addicted to a mobile phone.
B. She benefited a lot from a mobile phone.
C. She felt joyful when using a mobile phone.
D. She lived a colorful life with a mobile phone.
26. What was the bad effect of a mobile phone on the author?
A. She became short-sighted. B. She became less efficient at work.
C. She was disliked by her family. D. She didn’t have a mind of her own.
27. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. Everyone should reassess their screen time.
B. People are too dependent on mobile phones.
C. Mobile phones have side effects on people’s lives.
D. It’s time for everyone to put their mobile phone aside.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了智能手机对作者生活所造成的影响,以及作者为摆脱对手机的依赖所做的努力,并建议人们要养成良好的使用手机的习惯。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, six years later, I had become horribly chained to it. Recent reports show that I’m not the only one. According to a 2017 study the average American spends 5 hours a day on smart devices and about 2.5 hours are spent on social media, messaging, news and entertainment applications.( 然而,六年后,我已经被它牢牢地束缚住了。最近的报告显示,我不是唯一一个。根据2017年的一项研究,美国人平均每天花在智能设备上的时间为5小时,花在社交媒体、短信、新闻和娱乐应用上的时间约为2.5小时。)”以及作者自身对手机上瘾的描述可知,美国人也和作者一样对智能技术有依赖,be tied to it 表示“被它束缚”,符合文意。故选C项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. But now, I fall asleep next to my phone every night and wake to it each morning. I check the weather app every morning before I choose how to dress for the day. I use it to help me navigate(导航)a city I should know well enough on my own. I update my inbox every time I pick up my phone.( 很难解释为什么我对iPhone的爱和喜悦变成了依赖。但现在,我每天晚上都在手机旁入睡,每天早上醒来都能看到它。我每天早上在选择当天的着装之前都会查看天气应用。我用它来帮助我在一个我自己应该很熟悉的城市里导航。我每次拿起手机都会更新我的收件箱。)”主要讲述了作者从对 iPhone的喜爱变成了依赖,从早到晚的很多行为都离不开手机,所以主要说的是她对手机上瘾了。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“As with any addiction, my phone dependency began to impact my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of engaging at a level I would have a few years back. At work, my productivity levels dropped. (就像任何成瘾一样,我对手机的依赖开始影响我的生活。与家人共度时光时,我会盯着膝上的小屏幕,而不是像几年前那样沉浸在游戏中。在工作中,我的效率下降了。)” 可知,手机对作者的不良影响是她在工作中的效率下降了。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought.( 我希望你能好好审视一下自己的手机习惯,重新评估一下手机在你的生活中扮演了多么重要的角色。无论你是否觉得看屏幕的时间有问题,仔细思考一下你目前的做法并没有什么坏处。)”可知,暗示每个人都应该重新评估自己使用手机屏幕的时间,思考手机在生活中扮演的角色。故选A项。

“Good morning, passengers! Welcome aboard Bus No. 38.” At 6:30 a.m., the cool morning breeze blows as Feng Zhiliang, a 43-year-old driver with 15 years’ experience at Handan Public Transport, greets the first passengers. Seated in the driver’s cab, he fastens his seatbelt, ready to set off.
Feng’s recent viral video comes from his bilingual (双语的) stop announcements in Chinese and English, captivating netizens. Some remark, “It’s like a luxurious flight for just two yuan!”, praising Handan’s harmonious combination of tradition and modernity.
This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with “Hello. Happy New Year!” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by their positive feedback, he saw an opportunity to serve the many foreigners riding his bus. Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.
Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan’s cultural charm.
Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9:00 p.m., exhausted but determined. Despite his tiredness, he’d continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20-minute break.
Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of unstopped preparation, Feng boldly tried bilingual announcements during peak hours in early 2023. Initially nervous, he received overwhelming encouragement from passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part.
“Taking that first step was challenging, but the positive feedback fueled my passion,” Feng recalled. “It’s become a goal and a cherished wish.” Now, over a year and a half later, Feng’s bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base. Passengers eagerly board the No. 38 bus to immerse themselves in his enriching language experience, while parents bring their children along for the educational ride. Feng’s dedication has transformed his routine bus rides into linguistic adventures, captivating hearts and minds alike.
28. What does the remark for Feng imply in Para. 2?
A. Feng’s bus offers the same luxury and comfort as a plane.
B. Feng’s driving experience is as rich as that of a plane pilot.
C. Feng’s English learning journey is as long as a plane’s flight route.
D. Feng’s bus provides a bilingual atmosphere similar to that of a plane.
29. What inspired Feng initially to announce the stops bilingually?
A. Attracting more passengers to board his bus.
B. Filling up his free time during long bus rides.
C. Better serving foreigners after their thumbs-up.
D. Reflecting Handan’s cultural charm to the passengers.
30. Which of the following can best describe Feng?
A. Determined and diligent.
B. Innovative and frank.
C. Humorous and patient.
D. Brave and efficient.
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. All roads lead to Rome.
B. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了邯郸公交车司机冯志亮用双语报站,收获了一大批粉丝。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Some remark, “It’s like a luxurious flight for just two yuan!”, praising Handan’s harmonious combination of tradition and modernity.(有人评论道:“这就像只花两元钱就能享受一次豪华飞行!”他们赞扬邯郸将传统与现代完美融合。)”可知,第二段中对冯的评论暗示了冯的公交车提供了一种类似于飞机的双语氛围。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Encouraged by their positive feedback, he saw an opportunity to serve the many foreigners riding his bus.(受到他们积极反馈的鼓舞,他看到了为乘坐他的公共汽车的许多外国人服务的机会。)”可知,冯志亮是受到外国乘客的鼓舞,让他看到了为乘坐他的公交车的许多外国人更好服务的机会。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9:00 p.m., exhausted but determined. Despite his tiredness, he’d continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20-minute break.(每天晚上,在送完最后一批乘客后,冯在晚上9点左右回到家,筋疲力尽但意志坚定。尽管很累,他还是继续学习一个小时,甚至充分利用这20分钟的休息时间。)”可知,冯志亮在休息间隙的20分钟里,在晚上九点下班后一直坚持学习英语,说明他是一个意志坚定又勤奋的人,因此用determined和diligent描述他。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.(为了提高沟通能力,冯开始了自己的英语学习之旅。)”、第四段“Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan’s cultural charm.(他从零开始,埋头于网络课程,寻找英语资料,并使用翻译软件来提高自己的技能。今天,他的双语公告体现了他的敬业精神和邯郸的文化魅力。)”和最后一段中的“Now, over a year and a half later, Feng’s bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base.(现在,一年半过去了,冯的双语广告已经吸引了一批忠实的粉丝。)”可知,冯志亮为了双语报站,提高公交车服务系统的沟通效果,从零基础开始学习英语,克服了很多困难和挑战,最终赢得了乘客的纷纷点赞和认可,实现了他的心愿和目标。 由此可推测出,D项“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.(有志者事竟成)”最符合题意。故选D。
D
Fast fashion has a significant environmental impact. According to the UN Environment Programme, the industry is the second biggest consumer of water and is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions—more than that of all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Fortunately, the solution might lie in slow fashion.
The term, slow fashion, refers to the widespread reaction to fast fashion and its environmental impact. It calls for stopping excessive (过度) production, overcomplicated supply chains, and mindless consumption. It advocates production that respects people, the environment and animals.
The World Resources Institute suggests that companies need to design, test and invest in business models that reuse clothes and maximize their useful life. The UN has launched the Alliance for Sustainable Fashion to address the damage caused by fast fashion. It is seeking to halt the environmentally and socially damaging practices of fashion.
One way that shoppers can reduce their consumption of fast fashion is by buying from secondhand sellers like ThredUp Inc. and Poshmark. Another solution is renting clothes from companies or websites, like the Rent the Runway and Gwynnie Bee, Girl Meets Dress, and the Dutch firm Mud Jeans that rents organic jeans which can be kept, swapped or returned. Instead of being thrown away after a single wear, as is often the case with fast fashion items, rented clothes get the chance to be cherished, reused, and reimagined.
Governments need to be more actively involved in addressing the fashion industry’s damaging effects. UK ministers rejected a report by members of parliament calling for action to deal with the environmental effects of fast fashion. On the other hand, French president, Emmanuel Macron, has made a pact with 150 brands to make the fashion industry more sustainable.
The best advice on reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion comes from Patsy Perry, senior lecturer in fashion marketing at the University of Manchester, who says, “Less is always more.”
32. What does slow fashion seek to do?
A. Slow down fashion production. B. Promote traditional clothing styles.
C. Minimize environmental damage. D. Simplify clothing design processes.
33. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Confirm. B. Cease. C. Assess. D. Delay.
34. How do clothing rental services help slow fashion?
A. By extending the life cycle of clothes. B. By improving production cycles.
C. By expanding customer groups. D. By reducing the cost of purchasing.
35. Which of the following may Patsy Perry agree with?
A. Buy only what is needed. B. Follow closely what is popular.
C. Avoid fashionable clothes. D. Promote local brands.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述快时尚对环境造成的重大负面影响,并提出慢时尚作为解决方案,强调减少过度生产、倡导可持续消费模式,同时涉及企业、联合国、消费者租赁服务及政府措施等。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It advocates production that respects people, the environment and animals.(它倡导尊重人类、环境和动物的生产方式)”可知,慢时尚旨在尽量减少对环境的破坏。故选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线词上文“The UN has launched the Alliance for Sustainable Fashion to address the damage caused by fast fashion.(联合国已发起“可持续时尚联盟”,以应对快时尚带来的破坏性影响)”以及后文“the environmentally and socially damaging practices of fashion(时尚业对环境和社会造成损害的种种做法)”可知,本段中联合国发起的联盟旨在“终止”快时尚对环境和社会的破坏行为,故划线词意思是“终止”。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Another solution is renting clothes from companies or websites, like the Rent the Runway and Gwynnie Bee, Girl Meets Dress, and the Dutch firm Mud Jeans that rents organic jeans which can be kept, swapped or returned. Instead of being thrown away after a single wear, as is often the case with fast fashion items, rented clothes get the chance to be cherished, reused, and reimagined.(另一种解决办法是向诸如 Rent the Runway、Gwynnie Bee、Girl Meets Dress 以及荷兰的 Mud Jeans 等公司或网站租赁衣物。Mud Jeans 这家荷兰公司出租的有机牛仔裤可以被保存、交换或归还,不像快时尚商品那样在单次穿着后就被丢弃。租赁的衣物有机会被珍视、重复使用和重新设计,而不是像快时尚商品那样在一次穿着后就被丢弃)”可知,服装租赁通过延长衣物的使用寿命,助力减缓快时尚现象。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The best advice on reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion comes from Patsy Perry, senior lecturer in fashion marketing at the University of Manchester, who says, “Less is always more.”(关于如何降低快时尚对环境的影响,帕西·佩里给出了最有效的建议。她是曼彻斯特大学时尚营销专业的高级讲师,她表示:“少即是多。”)”可知,只购买实际所需之物可能是帕齐·佩里所认同的观点。故选A。

First, start with an open conversation with your child. Jumping straight into setting limits is no fun. ____36____ Ask about their favorite apps, games, or activities online. This helps you understand what they enjoy and opens the door for discussions.
____37____ Explain to them how too many of anything, including screens, can steal time away from other activities like learning, sleeping, exercising and spending time physically with friends and family — which are all important for their well-being.
When it comes to setting realistic screen use rules, involve your child in the decision-making process. Consider creating a plan together that includes family activities, outdoor play, and limited screen use. Encourage them to reflect on how different activities make them feel, and help them find a balance that they are comfortable with. ____38____
Most importantly, be your child’s role model. Your child learns a lot by observing you, so demonstrate healthy screen habits yourself. ____39____ Show them how you manage your screen use.
Remember, managing screen time is a gradual process. The goal isn’t to ban screen time entirely but to help your child use it wisely, creating a balanced approach that supports their growth and development. ____40____ After all, parenthood is a journey, not a sprint (短跑). You will get there by taking it step by step.
A. Don’t seek perfection right away.
B. Rather, begin by showing interest.
C. Next, talk to your child about balance.
D. Teach your child healthy screen habits.
E. Your actions will speak louder than words.
F. There are many benefits if we manage screen time properly.
G. Children helping set the rules feel more in control of their choices.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. G 39. E 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些如何指导孩子合理使用电子设备的建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“First, start with an open conversation with your child. Jumping straight into setting limits is no fun.(首先,与孩子进行一次坦诚的交流。直接开始设定限制并不会带来愉快的体验)”可知,上文说明了设定限制是错误的做法,不会带来愉快的体验,推测本句是说明正确的做法。故B选项“而是先表现出兴趣”符合语境,故选B。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Explain to them how too many of anything, including screens, can steal time away from other activities like learning, sleeping, exercising and spending time physically with friends and family — which are all important for their well-being.(向他们解释一下,任何东西(包括屏幕)如果使用过多,都会占用他们原本用于学习、睡觉、锻炼以及与朋友和家人进行实际交流的时间——而这些活动对他们的身心健康都非常重要)”可知,本段主要论述了和孩子说明如何平衡时间的问题。故C选项“接下来,和你的孩子谈谈平衡问题”符合语境,故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“When it comes to setting realistic screen use rules, involve your child in the decision-making process. Consider creating a plan together that includes family activities, outdoor play, and limited screen use. Encourage them to reflect on how different activities make them feel, and help them find a balance that they are comfortable with.(在制定合理的屏幕使用规则时,应让您的孩子参与决策过程。可以一起制定一个计划,其中包括家庭活动、户外玩耍以及有限的屏幕使用时间。鼓励他们思考不同的活动会给他们带来怎样的感受,并帮助他们找到一个自己能接受的平衡点)”可知,上文指出让孩子制定规则,本句为本段最后一句,说明这么做的好处。故G选项“孩子们参与制定规则会感觉对自己的选择更有掌控力”符合语境,故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Most importantly, be your child’s role model. Your child learns a lot by observing you, so demonstrate healthy screen habits yourself.(最为重要的是,要成为孩子的榜样。孩子通过观察你就能学到很多东西,所以你自己也要树立良好的屏幕使用习惯)”可知,本句主要说明大人以身作则,用行动为孩子树立榜样。故E选项“你的行动会比言语更有说服力”符合语境,故选E。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Remember, managing screen time is a gradual process. The goal isn’t to ban screen time entirely but to help your child use it wisely, creating a balanced approach that supports their growth and development.(请记住,控制屏幕使用时间是一个循序渐进的过程。我们的目标并非完全禁止使用屏幕,而是帮助你的孩子明智地使用它,从而形成一种平衡的方法,以促进他们的成长和发展)”以及后文“After all, parenthood is a journey, not a sprint (短跑). You will get there by taking it step by step.(毕竟,为人父母是一段旅程,而非一场冲刺。你只需一步一步地走下去,就能到达目的地)”可知,上文提到帮助孩子明智地使用,后文则提到为人父母是一段旅程,说明不应该要求太过严格。故A选项“不要一开始就追求完美”符合语境,故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了外国人在湖北武当山体验道教文化的情况。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为他们旅程的一部分,他们在日出时聚集在一起调整呼吸,伸展身体,标志着他们探索中国传统文化的开始。句中已有谓语动词gathered,空处需要非谓语动词作目的状语,表示“为了调整呼吸”,所以应填不定式to adjust。故填to adjust。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这座山峰是武当山七十二峰之一,也是著名道教寺庙的所在地,自2005年以来已经吸引了数百名来自各行各业的外国人。空处需要冠词修饰seventy-two peaks,此处特指武当山的七十二峰,所以应填定冠词the。故填the。
【58题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意同上。根据时间状语since 2005可知,空处需要现在完成时,主语The peak是单数,助动词用has。故填has attracted。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们参与学习道教经典,以及声音疗法、火疗法和草药等实践课程。空处需要介词构成固定短语involve sb. in doing sth.,表示“使某人参与做某事”,故用介词in。故填in。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:许多人将他们的经历融入生活,有些人每年都会回来。空处修饰动词returning,应用副词annually,表示“每年”。故填annually。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:值得注意的是,一名葡萄牙参与者回国后开办了一所健康学校,而一名德国人则成立了一家出版社,为全球读者翻译中国文化文本。空处修饰名词house,表示“出版社”,应用动名词publishing作定语修饰house,表示其功能属性。故填publishing。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空处修饰名词readers,应用形容词global,作定语,意为“全球的”。故填global。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:来自爱尔兰的艾伦已定期在山上度过七年多,他欣赏中国文化的全面体验。空处需要关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Alan指人,且在从句中作主语,所以应填who。故填who。
【64题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:中国传统文化重视多样性中的和谐,不强调对立思维。句子描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语Chinese traditional culture是不可数名词,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式values。故填values。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种开放的态度在我们的社会中值得庆祝。be worth doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“值得做某事”,此处用动名词celebrating作宾语。故填celebrating。

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。
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the quiet town, Emily sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the blank page in her journal. She had always been a diligent student, excelling in academics and extracurricular activities, but lately, she felt a growing sense of unease. It was as if something was missing, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. She sighed, tapping her pen against the paper, and decided to take a walk to clear her mind.
The cool evening breeze brushed against her face as she wandered through the familiar streets of her neighborhood. She passed by the park where she used to play as a child, the library where she spent countless hours studying, and the café where she and her friends would gather after school. Each place held memories, but they also reminded her of the expectations she had been carrying — expectations from her parents, her teachers, and even herself. She had always been the “perfect” student, the one who never made mistakes, the one who always knew what to do. But now, she felt lost.
As she walked, she noticed a small, weathered bookstore tucked away in a corner she had never explored before. The sign above the door read, “The Journey Within.” Interested, Emily pushed open the door and stepped inside. The air was filled with the scent of old books and the soft hum of a record player in the background. The shelves were lined with books of all shapes and sizes, their spines worn from years of use. Emily’s eyes were drawn to a particular book titled The Courage to Be Imperfect. She picked it up and began to read.
The book spoke of the importance of embracing one’s flaws, of learning to be vulnerable (脆弱的), and of finding strength in imperfection. As Emily turned the pages, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. For the first time, she realized that it was okay not to have all the answers, that it was okay to make mistakes, and that growth often came from the moments when things didn’t go as planned.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As she sat down to write in her journal again, Emily smiled.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Over the next few weeks, Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life. She raised her hand in math class to admit she’d forgotten the quadratic formula — only to find half the class nodding in relief. At the poetry club’s open mic night, her first attempt at free verse, riddled with crossed-out words and uneven metaphors, earned snaps instead of silence. When she confessed to her best friend how much she feared being “found out” as inadequate, the response was a tight hug and “Me too”. The standing ovation after her poem wasn’t for flawless delivery, but for the way her voice cracked precisely on the word “vulnerable”.
As she sat down to write in her journal again, Emily smiled. The pages now bore coffee rings and doodled stars framing entries like: “Spilled orange juice on my white shirt before the debate — but my ‘juice stain defense strategy’ got more laughs than the opposing team’s arguments.” She ran a finger over yesterday’s smudged ink where she’d written “Perfection is a lonely museum; I’m planting dandelions instead.” She closed the journal, realizing perfection wasn’t the goal; courage to embrace imperfection was.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Emily对完美的追求为线索展开,讲述了Emily是个追求完美的女孩,却在偶然发现的书店中读到《勇于不完美》一书,意识到成长源于接纳脆弱。她开始勇敢犯错——课堂上承认不会的知识,诗歌朗诵中展示粗糙的作品,向朋友袒露不安。这些不完美的真实时刻,反而让她收获了掌声、拥抱和更深的友谊,最终她领悟到敢于不完美的勇气才是真正成长。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几个星期里,Emily开始把书中的经验运用到自己的生活中。”可知,第一段可描写Emily在各种场合勇于犯错,而这些错误并没有带来负面反馈,而是让她收获更多。
②由第二段首句内容“当Emily坐下来再次写日记时,她笑了。”可知,第二段可描写Emily日记中不完美时刻的记录,以及她最终的领悟。
2. 续写线索:Emily实践书中的经验——Emily勇于犯错——错误令Emily收获更多——Emily再次写日记——日记中不完美的记录——Emily的领悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①承认:admit/acknowledge
②得到:get/receive
③意识到:realize/recognize
情绪类
①慰藉:relief/consolation
②恐惧:fear/dread/be afraid of
【点睛】[高分句型1] When she confessed to her best friend how much she feared being “found out” as inadequate, the response was a tight hug and “Me too”. (When引导时间状语从句、how引导宾语从句)
[高分句型2] She ran a finger over yesterday’s smudged ink where she’d written “Perfection is a lonely museum; I’m planting dandelions instead.” (where引导限制性定语从句)

In 2011, an iPhone fell into my hands. This smart technology seemed like an entrance to fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging.
However, six years later, I had become horribly chained to it. Recent reports show that I’m not the only one. According to a 2017 study the average American spends 5 hours a day on smart devices and about 2.5 hours are spent on social media, messaging, news and entertainment applications.
It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. But now, I fall asleep next to my phone every night and wake to it each morning. I check the weather app every morning before I choose how to dress for the day. I use it to help me navigate(导航)a city I should know well enough on my own. I update my inbox every time I pick up my phone.
As with any addiction, my phone dependency began to impact my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of engaging at a level I would have a few years back. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across the dinner table, share the joys of experiencing a concert or kiss me goodnight before bed.
Now, I move through life with more purpose and intention. I’ve cut back on carelessly giving away my limited time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focused my efforts on being as present as possible. Training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere.
I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought.
24. What can best describe Americans’ use of smart technology?
A. They are ruined by it. B. They are inspired by it.
C They are tied to it D. They are good at it.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. She became addicted to a mobile phone.
B. She benefited a lot from a mobile phone.
C. She felt joyful when using a mobile phone.
D. She lived a colorful life with a mobile phone.
26. What was the bad effect of a mobile phone on the author?
A. She became short-sighted. B. She became less efficient at work.
C She was disliked by her family. D. She didn’t have a mind of her own.
27. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A Everyone should reassess their screen time.
B. People are too dependent on mobile phones.
C. Mobile phones have side effects on people’s lives.
D. It’s time for everyone to put their mobile phone aside.

“Good morning, passengers! Welcome aboard Bus No. 38.” At 6:30 a.m., the cool morning breeze blows as Feng Zhiliang, a 43-year-old driver with 15 years’ experience at Handan Public Transport, greets the first passengers. Seated in the driver’s cab, he fastens his seatbelt, ready to set off.
Feng’s recent viral video comes from his bilingual (双语的) stop announcements in Chinese and English, captivating netizens. Some remark, “It’s like a luxurious flight for just two yuan!”, praising Handan’s harmonious combination of tradition and modernity.
This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with “Hello. Happy New Year!” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by their positive feedback, he saw an opportunity to serve the many foreigners riding his bus. Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.
Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan’s cultural charm.
Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9:00 p.m., exhausted but determined. Despite his tiredness, he’d continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20-minute break.
Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of unstopped preparation, Feng boldly tried bilingual announcements during peak hours in early 2023. Initially nervous, he received overwhelming encouragement from passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part.
“Taking that first step was challenging, but the positive feedback fueled my passion,” Feng recalled. “It’s become a goal and a cherished wish.” Now, over a year and a half later, Feng’s bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base. Passengers eagerly board the No. 38 bus to immerse themselves in his enriching language experience, while parents bring their children along for the educational ride. Feng’s dedication has transformed his routine bus rides into linguistic adventures, captivating hearts and minds alike.
28. What does the remark for Feng imply in Para. 2?
A. Feng’s bus offers the same luxury and comfort as a plane.
B. Feng’s driving experience is as rich as that of a plane pilot.
C. Feng’s English learning journey is as long as a plane’s flight route.
D. Feng’s bus provides a bilingual atmosphere similar to that of a plane.
29. What inspired Feng initially to announce the stops bilingually?
A. Attracting more passengers to board his bus.
B. Filling up his free time during long bus rides.
C. Better serving foreigners after their thumbs-up.
D. Reflecting Handan’s cultural charm to the passengers.
30. Which of the following can best describe Feng?
A. Determined and diligent.
B. Innovative and frank.
C. Humorous and patient.
D. Brave and efficient.
31 What can we learn from the passage?
A. All roads lead to Rome.
B. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
D
Fast fashion has a significant environmental impact. According to the UN Environment Programme, the industry is the second biggest consumer of water and is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions—more than that of all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Fortunately, the solution might lie in slow fashion.
The term, slow fashion, refers to the widespread reaction to fast fashion and its environmental impact. It calls for stopping excessive (过度的) production, overcomplicated supply chains, and mindless consumption. It advocates production that respects people, the environment and animals.
The World Resources Institute suggests that companies need to design, test and invest in business models that reuse clothes and maximize their useful life. The UN has launched the Alliance for Sustainable Fashion to address the damage caused by fast fashion. It is seeking to halt the environmentally and socially damaging practices of fashion.
One way that shoppers can reduce their consumption of fast fashion is by buying from secondhand sellers like ThredUp Inc. and Poshmark. Another solution is renting clothes from companies or websites, like the Rent the Runway and Gwynnie Bee, Girl Meets Dress, and the Dutch firm Mud Jeans that rents organic jeans which can be kept, swapped or returned. Instead of being thrown away after a single wear, as is often the case with fast fashion items, rented clothes get the chance to be cherished, reused, and reimagined.
Governments need to be more actively involved in addressing the fashion industry’s damaging effects. UK ministers rejected a report by members of parliament calling for action to deal with the environmental effects of fast fashion. On the other hand, French president, Emmanuel Macron, has made a pact with 150 brands to make the fashion industry more sustainable.
The best advice on reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion comes from Patsy Perry, senior lecturer in fashion marketing at the University of Manchester, who says, “Less is always more.”
32. What does slow fashion seek to do?
A. Slow down fashion production. B. Promote traditional clothing styles.
C. Minimize environmental damage. D. Simplify clothing design processes.
33. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Confirm. B. Cease. C. Assess. D. Delay.
34. How do clothing rental services help slow fashion?
A. By extending the life cycle of clothes. B. By improving production cycles.
C. By expanding customer groups. D. By reducing the cost of purchasing.
35. Which of the following may Patsy Perry agree with?
A. Buy only what is needed. B. Follow closely what is popular.
C. Avoid fashionable clothes. D. Promote local brands.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the quiet town, Emily sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the blank page in her journal. She had always been a diligent student, excelling in academics and extracurricular activities, but lately, she felt a growing sense of unease. It was as if something was missing, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. She sighed, tapping her pen against the paper, and decided to take a walk to clear her mind.
The cool evening breeze brushed against her face as she wandered through the familiar streets of her neighborhood. She passed by the park where she used to play as a child, the library where she spent countless hours studying, and the café where she and her friends would gather after school. Each place held memories, but they also reminded her of the expectations she had been carrying — expectations from her parents, her teachers, and even herself. She had always been the “perfect” student, the one who never made mistakes, the one who always knew what to do. But now, she felt lost.
As she walked, she noticed a small, weathered bookstore tucked away in a corner she had never explored before. The sign above the door read, “The Journey Within.” Interested, Emily pushed open the door and stepped inside. The air was filled with the scent of old books and the soft hum of a record player in the background. The shelves were lined with books of all shapes and sizes, their spines worn from years of use. Emily’s eyes were drawn to a particular book titled The Courage to Be Imperfect. She picked it up and began to read.
The book spoke of the importance of embracing one’s flaws, of learning to be vulnerable (脆弱的), and of finding strength in imperfection. As Emily turned the pages, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. For the first time, she realized that it was okay not to have all the answers, that it was okay to make mistakes, and that growth often came from the moments when things didn’t go as planned.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As she sat down to write in her journal again, Emily smiled.
