Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Merimee, as the March girls called their mother. The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always. The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. "Your husband is very ill," it said, "come at once." The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Merimee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together. Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety. Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Mareches'. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn't live much longer to be with her family, and in the springtime she died. News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer, and soon afterwards founded a school for boys. And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to. 1. The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs., March and their _____. A. four daughters B. five daughters C. son and four daughters D. son and five daughters 2.

A. both happiness and sadness B. wealthy neighbors C. more girls than boys D. a lot of rich relatives Keys:AACA 阅读表达 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词) One day in autumn, Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then, the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. —Adapted from Black Beauty 1．What was the weather like when Gordon, John and Beauty left town for home? _____________________________________________________________. 2．Why did Beauty stop when they came to the bridge? _____________________________________________________________. 3．What did Beauty do when his master gave him a touch with the whip? _____________________________________________________________. 4．Who stopped them from crossing the bridge at last? _____________________________________________________________. 5．According to the passage, what is Black Beauty like? _____________________________________________________________. keys: 1.

The s 5 half of the novel focuses on the girls as they leave their childhood and b 6 their journey into adult life. Lessons of f 7 , family, and love are covered as we join the characters through the ups and downs of life, good times and bad ones. It seems that Louisa May Alcott uses her own family as the basis for the stories in Little Women, basing the character Jo on h 8 . It is amazing that though the book was written in the late 1800s, many things about humans remain the s 9 .

She expects that one day she’ll wake up different, ready to deal with her to-do list effectively. But change doesn’t come overnight. Instead, Cindy notices small changes in her habits—choosing to complete a task right away rather than putting it off, setting short-term goals like finishing a report by the end of the week, and celebrating small achievements like meeting a deadline. These seemingly unimportant steps lead to a far-reaching change in her productivity and mindset over time. Like Cindy’s journey, real change is a slow and often unnoticeable process (过程). We live in a world that values quick fixes and immediate results, but actual growth happens little by little. Change is like a path with ups and downs and twists and turns. The key lies in the willingness to respond (回应) differently to each situation, make adjustments (调整), and learn from our mistakes. If you try to change something at once, probably the change doesn’t last very long. Instead, working on one habit at a time provides a more sustainable method. It helps to avoid burnout and ensures that each positive change has time to take root and grow stronger, leading to meaningful change. Purposefulness is important in the process of change. Setting clear, realistic goals connected with personal values can provide a powerful sense of direction and drive. For example, if you want to improve your communication skills, you might start by practicing active listening during conversations. At the beginning, the changes may be small—a bit more patience here, a better choice of words there—but these purposeful acts gradually build stronger, more effective communication habits. It’s also necessary to recognize and celebrate small victories. Each step forward, no matter how small, is proof to your promise and effort. No journey of change is without its missteps. Mistakes are an unavoidable part of the process and should be viewed as chances for growth rather than failures. For example, if someone learning to manage stress gives in to anxiety in a high-pressure situation, it uncovers areas needing further development. Embracing (拥抱) mistakes and learning from them can help you continually make progress. Next time you feel discouraged by the speed of change, remember Cindy’s story and find comfort in the continuous progress of your own journey. Change is an ongoing process that is never finished but can be celebrated along the way. 1．Why does the writer use Cindy’s story in Paragraph 1? A．To show the actual way change happens. B．To explain the difficulty in changing habits. C．To prove the commonness of procrastination. D．To give suggestions on improving productivity. 2．What does the word “sustainable” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A．Challenging. B．Popular. C．Special. D．Lasting. 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．Quick fixes are more valuable than long-term changes. B．Effective changes result from nonstop purposeful efforts. C．Celebrating small victories prevents us from making progress. D．Avoiding mistakes can help us improve ourselves more quickly. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Setting Realistic Goals for Continuous Change B．Embracing the Slow Journey of Real Change C．Change: How Can We Control the Process? D．Change: How Does It Benefit Our Growth?

Recently, I have started using an AI writing tool to help me improve my writing. At first, I was 1 (amaze). I could just write a few words, and the tool would quickly produce an organized paragraph. It saved me time and even made me take 2 (proud) in my good writing. Like many people, I couldn’t help 3 (use) it more and more—for schoolwork, for writing emails, even for simple text messages. But last week, I was asked to write something personal-a piece about what 4 (kind) means to me. I gave the AI a clear instruction, and it returned a well-organized article. The grammar was perfect, the logic (逻辑) was smooth, but something didn’t feel right. I read the text again and again, and I 5 (realize) why it didn’t sound like me. It didn’t show any real emotion. It was as if a smart machine had spoken for me, not with me. That moment made me think. Isn’t the point of writing or any kind of expression to share our thoughts and feelings in an honest way? Yes. AI 6 (it) is powerful. It can help us organize ideas, fix our grammar, and even inspire us. But we need to rethink whether our writing 7 (able) are actually improved during the process. If we use it too much, we 8 (risk) losing something important in the future: our voice and our connection to the words we write. AI is a great tool when it is used 9 (wise). But don’t let it take over your thoughts. Use it to support your ideas. Also, don’t feel pressured to make everything sound perfect. What counts more is that your words express you. After all, the most 10 (value) part of any creation is you—your thoughts, your feelings, your story, and your voice. Keys:amazed; pride; using; kindness; realized; itself; abilities; will risk; wisely; valuable. 阅读与回答问题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms? If not, you could be missing out on something quite wonderful. Cloud admiring is an activity without a threshold (门槛) and it doesn’t require much. Sometimes, it can be an invitation to be amazed by something so common that we’ve become blind to it. Or you can go deeper, trying to make sense of the sky by learning the different kinds of clouds. Zheng, 25, a pop science blogger, is known as the “Cloud Collector” on Xiaohongshu. In 2021, Zheng started to take cloud photos. “Clouds have always served as a stress relief for many people like me,” said Zheng from Fujian. “I really feel relaxed in recording the beauty of daily life.” For the purpose of spreading lovely moments to more people, Zheng started to share cloud photos in 2022. By admiring clouds, she added, people can know when to take an umbrella, whether to wear sunglasses or when to put on warm coats. It also offers a chance to break silence with a stranger next to you by asking “How is the weather today?” after you watch the clouds. As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content (内容) about cloud admiring. So she started to learn more about cloud admiring by reading professional books and papers on clouds. Zheng has now shared nearly 200 pieces of popular science content, including cloud recognizing, formation, comparisons of different kinds of clouds and weather-related knowledge. She now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats on the app where thousands of users share their daily cloud-admiring experiences. Looking ahead, Zheng hopes to make cloud admiring more popular. She is now collecting more cloud photos and plans to hold more activities to share the stories behind them. By doing this, she wants to inspire more people to see the beauty of the clouds. 1．What is Zheng known as on Xiaohongshu? __________________________________________________________. 2．When did Zheng start to share cloud photos? __________________________________________________________. 3．How did Zheng learn more about cloud admiring? __________________________________________________________. 4．Why does Zheng hope to make cloud admiring more popular? __________________________________________________________. 5．Are you interested in cloud admiring?

Although it is easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily life, it is not so easy to tell them what to do. Some people like to run or c 1 mountains, but if you care for your body with less hurt, Tai Ji is the perfect exercise. Its goal is to i 2 a person’s balance and strength. There are several styles of Tai Ji, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many good how-to books to get you started, and you can also choose to learn Tai Ji from c 3 offered by health clubs. Either way, you can move at your own pace. Practitioners often praise Tai Ji’s benefits (好处), but what has attracted the a 4 of Western scientists is what Tai Ji does for the body. In many ways, researchers are just catching up to millions of people in China or in Chinatowns all around the w 5 , who have known something about Tai Ji. Scientists at the Oregon Research Institute reported that Tai Ji could p 6 great benefits for older people who were healthy but inactive. Studies have shown that practising Tai Ji regularly can help to r 7 times of falls (摔倒) among healthy old people. The next step from a scientific point of view is to decide w 8 Tai Ji can help those who are already weak. Any f 9 of exercise, of course, can only do so much. “For older people, Tai Ji will not be the end-all,” says William Haskell, an expert at Stanford University. “But a better way may be to practise Tai Ji plus walking. Younger people probably need more challenges, but the great benefit they can get from Tai Ji is to r 10 themselves both in body and in mental way.” The best thing about Tai Ji is that people enjoy it, so they can stick with it long enough to get some benefits. It helps when something that’s good for you is also fun. Keys:climb; improve; classes; attention; world; provide; reduce; whether; form; relax 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
