Not long ago, my daughter’s favourite leather shoes were cut by a knife. She cried. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young apprentice (学徒) took a look at the cuts quickly and said, “There is ____11____ I can do but change the uppers.”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you ____12____ me, I will add more cuts to both of the shoes on purpose for special style.”
I didn’t fully understand him, but I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six ____13____ on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather sewn with thick thread. The shoes looked more ____14____ and interesting than ever. I couldn’t stop praising the master for his skill.
Another time, my wife’s blouse had an opening on the back. My wife checked it carefully, and then said, “I’ll repair it myself.”
Three days went past, and I was very surprised to see it again: the ____15____ was sewn up by thin and white thread and it looked like an ice crystal. She ____16____ made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise, “It’s just as beautiful as a piece of art.”
“I learned from the master. Patches can be ____17____ to look perfect.” replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more. Perfection is ____18____ to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable; so is human life, which will appear in the form of wounds, ____19____ or disease.

In our daily life, direct questions are usually used to ask for information we do not know. Direct questions are either Yes or No questions such as “Are you married?” or information questions such as “Where do you live?”
It’s OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times, especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask “What time is it?” or “Can you move?”, he or she may refuse to answer you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it’s very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding “Excuse me” or “Pardon me” to begin your questions.
It’s also possible to use “can” in more informal situations. In the past, “can” was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes books with the phrases “Can you lend me,” “Can I have”, etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be incorrect, especially for written English, and “May I have” is preferred. Questions with “can” are made more polite by using “could”: “Pardon me, could you help me?”
“Would” can also be used to make questions more polite. “Would you lend me your pencil?” is also polite.
Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add “please” at the end of the questions. We can say “Could you help me, please?” “Please” should not appear at the beginning of the questions.
24. According to the passage the writer thinks ________.
A. we shouldn’t ask direct questions in daily life
B. it’s OK to ask strangers direct questions
C. it’s not enough to ask questions correctly
D. we must know someone well before asking questions
25. From Paragraph 3, we can know ________.
A. “can” was only used to describe abilities before
B. people in America like using “can” better
C. questions with “can” are more polite in written English
D. questions with “can” are polite in the US
26. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How to be a polite person. B. How to use some expressions correctly.
C. How to make direct questions more polite. D. How to change the ways we speak.
C
Sophie Pascoe is one of New Zealand’s greatest Paralympic swimmers. Her incredible journey began in Christchurch, where she was born on January 8, 1993. At just three years old, her life changed forever when a lawnmower accident severely injured her left leg. After five hours of surgery, doctors had to amputate it below the knee.
Despite this challenge, Sophie refused to let her disability define her. At seven, she started swimming lessons. At first, she struggled—her artificial leg made balancing difficult, and she often swallowed water. But with her family’s support and her coach’s guidance, she trained hard every day. Within a year, she was swimming faster than many able-bodied children.
When Sophie was nine, her grandfather became very sick with lung cancer. Before he passed away, she made him a promise: “I will win a gold medal for you at the Paralympics.” This promise became her motivation.
At 15, Sophie made history as New Zealand’s youngest Paralympian at Beijing 2008. She won three gold medals and one silver, breaking world records. Standing on the podium, she looked up, imagining her grandfather’s proud smile.
Her success continued at three more Paralympics—London 2012, Rio 2016, and Tokyo 2020—where she won a total of 15 medals (9 gold, 6 silver). She is now one of the most decorated Paralympic swimmers in history.
But Sophie’s impact goes beyond medals. She works to inspire others through her “Accessible Sports” program, helping disabled children participate in sports. She visits schools, sharing her message: “Disability doesn’t mean inability. The only limits are the ones we set for ourselves.”
Her autobiography, Breaking Waves, became a bestseller in New Zealand. In 2022, she received the country’s highest civilian honor. Sophie’s story teaches us that with courage and determination, anything is possible.
27. How did Sophie Pascoe’s promise to her grandfather influence her life?
A It made her give up swimming training.
B. It became the motivation for her hard training.
C. It made her focus on studies instead of sports.
D. It led her to start helping other disabled children.
28. Which shows the correct order of events in Sophie Pascoe’s life?
(Put the following in the correct order according to the passage)
a. Won 3 gold medals at her first Paralympics b: Started swimming lessons
c. Launched “Accessible Sports” program d. Suffered a lawnmower accident
A. dbac B. bdca C. dabc D. badc
29. How does Sophie Pascoe continue to inspire others after her competitive career?
A. Only by writing her autobiography.
B. By participating in more swimming competitions.
C. By creating programs and giving school speeches.
D. By working as a swimming coach.
30. What is the central message of Sophie Pascoe’s story?
A. Winning medals is the most important goal in sports.
B. Physical disabilities can be overcome with determination.
C. Family support is necessary for athletic success.
D. Swimming is the best sport for disabled athletes.
D

Sometimes, separating waste can take a lot of time. To properly recycle a plastic bottle, for example, we should pour out anything in the bottle and flatten (压平) the bottle before putting the cap back on and throwing it in the recycling bin. But that’s nothing compared to (与……相比) the recycling efforts of people in Kamikatsu, a village in southwestern Japan. The 1,500 villagers there are on a path to a zero-waste life.
The Zero Waste Centre is Kamikatsu’s recycling facility (场所). There, the villagers separate their waste into 45 groups—there are nine groups for paper products alone. They clean and dry dirty items to make them ready for recycling.
The village runs a reward system (奖励制度). People can collect recycling points in exchange for environmentally friendly products. There are signs that show what new items will be made from the recyclables. The village often reports how much money it has saved by working with recycling companies rather than burning all the waste.
Next to the Zero Waste Centre is a special shop. There villagers can drop off items they don’t want any more, and others can take them home. This past January alone, about 450 kilograms of items were re-homed. The number is shown in the shop.
In 2020, Hotel Why opened its door to the public. It is built in the shape of a question mark as if it was asking, “Why do we create so much waste?” At check-in, guests cut bars of soap to get just the amount of what they need for their stay. Each of them is given six bins to separate their waste.
We can learn from the villagers of Kamikatsu. Many of their practices can be introduced into large cities to make our world a green place.
56. Why do the villagers in Kamikatsu recycle waste?
_________________________________________________________________________________________
57 How many groups do they separate paper products into?
_________________________________________________________________________________________
58. How do they encourage the villagers to recycle waste?
_________________________________________________________________________________________
59. Where do the villagers put their items they don’t want?
_________________________________________________________________________________________
60. Do you think it necessary to recycle waste? Why or why not? (本题字数不限)

1. The visitors are very _________ to see so many changes _________.
A. surprised; has taken place B. surprising; take place C. surprised; have taken place D. surprising; are taking place
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:参观者看见如此多的变化发生非常惊讶。
考查形容词辨析,see的用法和现在完成时。surprised惊讶的,通常修饰人;surprising令人惊讶的,通常修饰物。根据“the visitor”可知此处形容词应用surprised,可排除BD选项;而see为感官动词,且其后补语强调“看”的过程,所以此处动词应用原形,根据语境可知参观者看到的变化已经发生,并强调其影响,应用现在完成时结构“have+done”,故选C。
2. Please don’t chat with others until you ________.
A. will be told B. will be told to C. are told to D. are told
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:在有人叫你聊天之前,请不要和别人聊天。
考查一般现在时被动语态和固定用法。Not…until直到……才,是固定用法,主句使用一般现在时,故时间从句也用一般现在时,排除A和B;tell sb. to do sth.“告诉某人做某事”,改为被动语态后不可丢掉不定式标记to。故选C。
3. —Can you give me some advice on how to improve my writing?
—Well, I do have some advice. ________, please read more books.
A. In all B. Of all C. Above all D. After all
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】 句意:——你能就如何提高我的写作给我一些建议吗?——嗯,我确实有些建议。最重要的是,请多读书。
考查介词短语。In all总计;Of all在所有之中;Above all最重要的是;After all毕竟。根据“Well, I do have some advice.”可知,此处表示一些建议中最重要的。故选C。
4. —Let’s invite some more people to help with the project on air pollution in this area.
—Good idea! ________.
A. Many hands make light work
B. The early bird catches the worm
C. The grass is always greener on the other side
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——让我们邀请更多的人来帮助这个地区的空气污染项目。——好主意!众人拾柴火焰高。
考查谚语。Many hands make light work众人拾柴火焰高;The early bird catches the worm早起的鸟儿有虫吃;The grass is always greener on the other side这山望着那山高;When in Rome, do as the Romans do入乡随俗。根据“Let’s invite some more people to help with the project on air pollution in this area.”可知要更多的人帮助对抗污染,因为众人拾柴火焰高。故选A。
5. Judy once worked for a travel agency for one year and the ________ helped her get a job as a guide in a big company.
A. situation B. condition C. education D. experience

【11题详解】
句意:年轻的学徒快速看了一眼割痕,说:“除了换鞋面,我什么都做不了。”
nothing没有什么;something某事;anything任何事;everything一切。根据后文“but change the uppers”可知,学徒表示除了换鞋面外无能为力,因此选择nothing构成“nothing…but”结构,表示“除了……之外什么都没有”。故选A。

help帮助;trust信任;find发现;know知道。根据后文师傅提出的创造性修补方案可知,需要得到作者的信任才能实施。故选B。
【13题详解】
句意:我第一眼就看到每只鞋上确实有五六道割痕。

In our daily life, direct questions are usually used to ask for information we do not know. Direct questions are either Yes or No questions such as “Are you married?” or information questions such as “Where do you live?”
It’s OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask “What time is it?” or “Can you move?”, he or she may refuse to answer you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it’s very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding “Excuse me” or “Pardon me” to begin your questions.
It’s also possible to use “can” in more informal situations. In the past, “can” was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes books with the phrases “Can you lend me,” “Can I have”, etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be incorrect, especially for written English, and “May I have” is preferred. Questions with “can” are made more polite by using “could”: “Pardon me, could you help me?”
“Would” can also be used to make questions more polite. “Would you lend me your pencil?” is also polite.
Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add “please” at the end of the questions. We can say “Could you help me, please?” “Please” should not appear at the beginning of the questions.
24. According to the passage, the writer thinks ________.
A. we shouldn’t ask direct questions in daily life
B. it’s OK to ask strangers direct questions
C. it’s not enough to ask questions correctly
D. we must know someone well before asking questions
25. From Paragraph 3, we can know ________.
A. “can” was only used to describe abilities before
B. people in America like using “can” better
C. questions with “can” are more polite in written English
D. questions with “can” are polite in the US
26. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How to be a polite person. B. How to use some expressions correctly.
C. How to make direct questions more polite. D. How to change the ways we speak.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了在日常交流中如何通过添加礼貌用语使直接提问显得更得体。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It’s OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times, especially when you are asking a stranger.”可知,作者认为仅仅正确提问是不够的,还需注意礼貌。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In the past, ‘can’ was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities.”可知,“can”过去仅用于描述能力。故选A。
26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了如何通过添加礼貌用语(如“Excuse me”“Could”“Would”“please”等)使直接提问更礼貌。故选C。
C
Sophie Pascoe is one of New Zealand’s greatest Paralympic swimmers. Her incredible journey began in Christchurch, where she was born on January 8, 1993. At just three years old, her life changed forever when a lawnmower accident severely injured her left leg. After five hours of surgery, doctors had to amputate it below the knee.
Despite this challenge, Sophie refused to let her disability define her. At seven, she started swimming lessons. At first, she struggled—her artificial leg made balancing difficult, and she often swallowed water. But with her family’s support and her coach’s guidance, she trained hard every day. Within a year, she was swimming faster than many able-bodied children.
When Sophie was nine, her grandfather became very sick with lung cancer. Before he passed away, she made him a promise: “I will win a gold medal for you at the Paralympics.” This promise became her motivation.
At 15, Sophie made history as New Zealand’s youngest Paralympian at Beijing 2008. She won three gold medals and one silver, breaking world records. Standing on the podium, she looked up, imagining her grandfather’s proud smile.
Her success continued at three more Paralympics—London 2012, Rio 2016, and Tokyo 2020—where she won a total of 15 medals (9 gold, 6 silver). She is now one of the most decorated Paralympic swimmers in history.
But Sophie’s impact goes beyond medals. She works to inspire others through her “Accessible Sports” program, helping disabled children participate in sports. She visits schools, sharing her message: “Disability doesn’t mean inability. The only limits are the ones we set for ourselves.”
Her autobiography, Breaking Waves, became a bestseller in New Zealand. In 2022, she received the country’s highest civilian honor. Sophie’s story teaches us that with courage and determination, anything is possible.
27. How did Sophie Pascoe’s promise to her grandfather influence her life?
A. It made her give up swimming training.
B. It became the motivation for her hard training.
C. It made her focus on studies instead of sports.
D. It led her to start helping other disabled children.
28. Which shows the correct order of events in Sophie Pascoe’s life?

a. Won 3 gold medals at her first Paralympics b: Started swimming lessons
c. Launched “Accessible Sports” program d. Suffered a lawnmower accident
A. dbac B. bdca C. dabc D. badc
29. How does Sophie Pascoe continue to inspire others after her competitive career?
A. Only by writing her autobiography.
B. By participating in more swimming competitions.
C. By creating programs and giving school speeches.
D. By working as a swimming coach.
30. What is the central message of Sophie Pascoe’s story?
A. Winning medals is the most important goal in sports.
B. Physical disabilities can be overcome with determination.
C. Family support is necessary for athletic success.
D. Swimming is the best sport for disabled athletes.

To properly recycle a plastic bottle, for example, we should pour out anything in the bottle and flatten (压平) the bottle before putting the cap back on and throwing it in the recycling bin. But that’s nothing compared to (与……相比) the recycling efforts of people in Kamikatsu, a village in southwestern Japan. The 1,500 villagers there are on a path to a zero-waste life.
The Zero Waste Centre is Kamikatsu’s recycling facility (场所). There, the villagers separate their waste into 45 groups—there are nine groups for paper products alone. They clean and dry dirty items to make them ready for recycling.
The village runs a reward system (奖励制度). People can collect recycling points in exchange for environmentally friendly products. There are signs that show what new items will be made from the recyclables. The village often reports how much money it has saved by working with recycling companies rather than burning all the waste.
Next to the Zero Waste Centre is a special shop. There villagers can drop off items they don’t want any more, and others can take them home. This past January alone, about 450 kilograms of items were re-homed. The number is shown in the shop.
In 2020, Hotel Why opened its door to the public. It is built in the shape of a question mark as if it was asking, “Why do we create so much waste?” At check-in, guests cut bars of soap to get just the amount of what they need for their stay. Each of them is given six bins to separate their waste.
We can learn from the villagers of Kamikatsu. Many of their practices can be introduced into large cities to make our world a green place.
