Learning for Life

As someone who did not finish school, I think that it is so important to become a lifelong learner and to embrace an endless ____23____ about the world.

Section B (2*8)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there care four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender (车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet — enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price — $50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed and I was in my 30s. Superior sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, so did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the center of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
31. What does the word “spell” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. admiration B. description C. attraction D. inspiration
32. Which of the following is TRUE about the Lionel plastic train the author received from his grandfather?
A It had a working headlight and smoker. B. It was six inches longer than the 746.
C. It produced high-pitched sounds. D. It was shorter and lacked special features.
33. What can be inferred about the author’s feelings when he saw the Norfolk and Western 746 again?
A. He was indifferent to toy trains. B. He felt a strong sense of joy.
C. He was disappointed by the price. D. He decided to sell the train immediately.
34. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of toy trains in America.
B. The author’s changing attitude toward toy trains and the memories they evoke.
C. A comparison between different toy train brands.
D. The technical features of the Norfolk and Western 746.
(B)
Para 1: Across China, more than 30 million students eat lunch at school every day. Until recently, most of these meals arrived in single-use plastic boxes, bags and straws. Environmental experts indicate that one senior-high cafeteria can produce over 200 kg of plastic waste per week — enough to cover a basketball court like shiny white snow.
Para 2: In September 2023, the Shanghai Education Commission issued new guidelines: by 2025, all public school lunchrooms in the city must reduce single-use plastics by 80%. The policy gives three practical options:
1. Replace disposable boxes with stainless-steel ones that can be washed and reused for up to five years.
2. Install high-speed dish-washing machines that use 70% less water and electricity than traditional models.
3. Introduce “bring-your-own-bottle” corners where students can refill tap water that has been filtered and chilled.
Para 3: Supporters praise the plan as a low-cost yet high-impact solution. A pilot programme at Qingpu Senior High School shows encouraging results. After only one semester the cafeteria acquired 2,000 reusable lunch boxes, cutting plastic waste by 65% and saving the school ¥18,000 in purchasing costs. More importantly, student attitude towards environmental protection improved: 78% of pupils now volunteer to wash their own boxes, and 90% bring refillable bottles daily.
Para 4: However, some challenges remain. High-temperature washing requires extra energy, and schools must establish a strict hygiene routine to prevent food-borne illness. Critics also stress the need for better infrastructure in older buildings where narrow corridors cannot accommodate large dish-washing machines.
Para 5: Despite these hurdles, environmentalists admire the programme and encourage other cities to establish a similar basis for plastic reduction. They believe that when students acquire eco-friendly habits early, they are more likely to contribute to a greener society in the future.
Para 6: Officials plan to expand the project to all 16 districts of Shanghai by 2026, aiming to recycle at least 1,500 tonnes of plastic waste each year. If successful, this campus-based model could become a nationwide defence against white pollution, proving that big environmental impact often starts with small daily routines.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Shanghai schools are replacing teachers with machines to save money.
B. Campus cafeterias in Shanghai are launching plastic-free programs to protect the environment.
C. Students dislike washing lunch boxes and prefer disposable containers.
D. White pollution in China is caused mainly by basketball courts.
36. According to the pilot programme at Qingpu Senior High, how much plastic waste was reduced after one semester?
A. 10%. B. 35%. C. 65%. D. 80%.
37. Which challenge is mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. Students refuse to eat cafeteria food.
B. Older buildings may not fit large dish-washing machines.
C The price of stainless-steel boxes is too high for parents.
D. Tap water in Shanghai is not safe to drink.
38. What does the underlined word “hurdles” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Obstacles or difficulties. B. Running races.
C. Plastic boxes. D. High-speed machines.
Section C (2*4)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The Significance of Traditional Chinese Customs
____39____These practices, passed down through generations, are more than just habits — they are the soul of Chinese culture, connecting people to their history and to each other.
One of the most well-known Chinese customs is the celebration of the Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year. Families travel thousands of miles to reunite, a tradition called “chunyun” which is often described as the world’s largest annual migration (迁徙). During this time, people clean their homes to sweep away bad luck and decorate with red lanterns and couplets. ____40____This dish symbolizes prosperity, as the word for fish in Chinese (“yu”) sounds like the word for “surplus.” On New Year’s Eve, families gather for a big feast, and children receive red envelopes filled with money, known as “hongbao,” to wish them good fortune.
Another important custom is the Dragon Boat Festival, held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This festival honors the ancient poet Qu Yuan, and people celebrate by racing dragon boats and eating zongzi — glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. ____41____ They hang mugwort (艾草) and calamus (香蒲) on doorsteps to ward off (驱逐) evil spirits and disease. These activities not only keep Qu Yuan’s memory alive but also encourage community teamwork, especially during the dragon boat races.
Traditional customs also play a role in shaping personal values. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions under the full moon, teaches people the importance of togetherness and gratitude. People share mooncakes, a sweet pastry, and admire the moon, passing down stories like the legend of Chang’e.
____42____ In a fast-paced modern world, they remind people of their roots and provide a sense of belonging. Preserving these customs is not just about keeping the past alive — it’s about ensuring that future generations can understand and take pride in Chinese culture.
A. One of the key foods served at this feast is fish.
B. Traditional Chinese customs are an important part of the country’s identity.
C. Zongzi comes in many flavors, such as sweet red bean and savory pork.
D. For many Chinese people, these customs are not just old traditions but living parts of daily life.
E. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people also take part in other activities.
F. The Spring Festival is celebrated in many countries around the world.

Section B (2*8)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there care four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender (车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet — enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price — $50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed and I was in my 30s. Superior sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, so did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the center of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
31. What does the word “spell” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. admiration B. description C. attraction D. inspiration
32. Which of the following is TRUE about the Lionel plastic train the author received from his grandfather?
A. It had a working headlight and smoker. B. It was six inches longer than the 746.
C. It produced high-pitched sounds. D. It was shorter and lacked special features.
33. What can be inferred about the author’s feelings when he saw the Norfolk and Western 746 again?
A. He was indifferent to toy trains. B. He felt a strong sense of joy.
C. He was disappointed by the price. D. He decided to sell the train immediately.
34. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of toy trains in America.
B. The author’s changing attitude toward toy trains and the memories they evoke.
C. A comparison between different toy train brands.
D. The technical features of the Norfolk and Western 746.
【答案】31. C 32. D 33. B 34. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者对诺福克和西部746号玩具火车的痴迷、童年遗憾及成年后重逢该火车唤起的回忆与圆梦体验。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender seemed to have cast a spell on me.(早在 1958 年,我就对诺福克和西部 746 号(玩具火车)痴迷不已。那台线条橙黄相间、子弹头般光滑的引擎,以及锃亮的流线型黑色车厢,似乎对我施了spell)”可知,作者对该火车的痴迷描述,可知“spell”在此处指“吸引力”。故选C项。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound!(相反,我只能满足于他那辆小小的莱昂内尔塑料火车,它比746号短6英寸,没有车头灯、没有烟雾装置,也没有声音!)”可知,作者从祖父那里得到的塑料火车更短且缺乏特殊功能。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Just one look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.(只看了一眼,我就移不开视线了。那些我试图藏在心底的童年回忆,无论喜怒哀乐,都涌上心头)”及第五段中作者买下火车、享受圆梦的场景,可推断作者再次见到746号火车时,内心充满强烈的喜悦。故选B项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章围绕作者对诺福克和西部746号玩具火车的态度变化展开——童年时的痴迷与遗憾、成年后的淡忘、重逢后的重拾热爱,同时穿插着火车唤起的与祖父相关的回忆。B选项“作者对玩具火车态度的转变,以及这些玩具火车所唤起的回忆”可以概括文章大意。故选B项。
(B)
Para 1: Across China, more than 30 million students eat lunch at school every day. Until recently, most of these meals arrived in single-use plastic boxes, bags and straws. Environmental experts indicate that one senior-high cafeteria can produce over 200 kg of plastic waste per week — enough to cover a basketball court like shiny white snow.
Para 2: In September 2023, the Shanghai Education Commission issued new guidelines: by 2025, all public school lunchrooms in the city must reduce single-use plastics by 80%. The policy gives three practical options:
1 Replace disposable boxes with stainless-steel ones that can be washed and reused for up to five years.
2. Install high-speed dish-washing machines that use 70% less water and electricity than traditional models.
3. Introduce “bring-your-own-bottle” corners where students can refill tap water that has been filtered and chilled.
Para 3: Supporters praise the plan as a low-cost yet high-impact solution. A pilot programme at Qingpu Senior High School shows encouraging results. After only one semester, the cafeteria acquired 2,000 reusable lunch boxes, cutting plastic waste by 65% and saving the school ¥18,000 in purchasing costs. More importantly, student attitude towards environmental protection improved: 78% of pupils now volunteer to wash their own boxes, and 90% bring refillable bottles daily.
Para 4: However, some challenges remain. High-temperature washing requires extra energy, and schools must establish a strict hygiene routine to prevent food-borne illness. Critics also stress the need for better infrastructure in older buildings where narrow corridors cannot accommodate large dish-washing machines.
Para 5: Despite these hurdles, environmentalists admire the programme and encourage other cities to establish a similar basis for plastic reduction. They believe that when students acquire eco-friendly habits early, they are more likely to contribute to a greener society in the future.
Para 6: Officials plan to expand the project to all 16 districts of Shanghai by 2026, aiming to recycle at least 1,500 tonnes of plastic waste each year. If successful, this campus-based model could become a nationwide defence against white pollution, proving that big environmental impact often starts with small daily routines.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A Shanghai schools are replacing teachers with machines to save money.
B. Campus cafeterias in Shanghai are launching plastic-free programs to protect the environment.
C. Students dislike washing lunch boxes and prefer disposable containers.
D. White pollution in China is caused mainly by basketball courts.
36. According to the pilot programme at Qingpu Senior High, how much plastic waste was reduced after one semester?
A. 10%. B. 35%. C. 65%. D. 80%.
37. Which challenge is mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. Students refuse to eat cafeteria food.
B. Older buildings may not fit large dish-washing machines.
C. The price of stainless-steel boxes is too high for parents.
D. Tap water in Shanghai is not safe to drink.
38. What does the underlined word “hurdles” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Obstacles or difficulties. B. Running races.
C. Plastic boxes. D. High-speed machines.
【答案】35. B 36. C 37. B 38. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了上海校园食堂推行无塑料项目以保护环境的情况及成效。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“In September 2023, the Shanghai Education Commission issued new guidelines: by 2025, all public school lunchrooms in the city must reduce single-use plastics by 80%.(2023年9月,上海市教委发布新指南:到2025年,全市所有公立学校食堂一次性塑料制品使用量必须减少80%。)”可知,本文主要讲述上海校园食堂正在开展无塑料项目以保护环境。故选B。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“A pilot programme at Qingpu Senior High School shows encouraging results. After only one semester, the cafeteria acquired 2,000 reusable lunch boxes, cutting plastic waste by 65% and saving the school ¥18,000 in purchasing costs.(青浦高级中学的一个试点项目取得了令人鼓舞的成果。仅一个学期后,该校食堂就采购了2000个可重复使用的餐盒,减少了65%的塑料垃圾,并为学校节省了18000元的采购成本。)”可知,青浦高中的试点项目一个学期后塑料垃圾减少了65%。故选C。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Critics also stress the need for better infrastructure in older buildings where narrow corridors cannot accommodate large dish-washing machines.(批评者还强调,在走廊狭窄、无法容纳大型洗碗机的老建筑中,需要更好的基础设施。)”可知,第四段提到的挑战是老建筑可能装不下大型洗碗机。故选B。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“However, some challenges remain.(然而,仍存在一些挑战。)”以及第五段中“Despite these hurdles, environmentalists admire the programme and encourage other cities to establish a similar basis for plastic reduction.(尽管存在这些hurdles,环保主义者仍赞赏该项目,并鼓励其他城市建立类似的塑料减排基础。)”可知,尽管存在困难,环保主义者仍赞赏该项目,故推测hurdles表示“困难,障碍”,与Obstacles or difficulties意思相近。故选A。
Section C (2*4)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The Significance of Traditional Chinese Customs
____39____These practices, passed down through generations, are more than just habits — they are the soul of Chinese culture, connecting people to their history and to each other.
One of the most well-known Chinese customs is the celebration of the Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year. Families travel thousands of miles to reunite, a tradition called “chunyun” which is often described as the world’s largest annual migration (迁徙). During this time, people clean their homes to sweep away bad luck and decorate with red lanterns and couplets. ____40____This dish symbolizes prosperity, as the word for fish in Chinese (“yu”) sounds like the word for “surplus.” On New Year’s Eve, families gather for a big feast, and children receive red envelopes filled with money, known as “hongbao,” to wish them good fortune.
Another important custom is the Dragon Boat Festival, held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This festival honors the ancient poet Qu Yuan, and people celebrate by racing dragon boats and eating zongzi — glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. ____41____ They hang mugwort (艾草) and calamus (香蒲) on doorsteps to ward off (驱逐) evil spirits and disease. These activities not only keep Qu Yuan’s memory alive but also encourage community teamwork, especially during the dragon boat races.
Traditional customs also play a role in shaping personal values. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions under the full moon, teaches people the importance of togetherness and gratitude. People share mooncakes, a sweet pastry, and admire the moon, passing down stories like the legend of Chang’e.
____42____ In a fast-paced modern world, they remind people of their roots and provide a sense of belonging. Preserving these customs is not just about keeping the past alive — it’s about ensuring that future generations can understand and take pride in Chinese culture.
A. One of the key foods served at this feast is fish.
B. Traditional Chinese customs are an important part of the country’s identity.
C. Zongzi comes in many flavors, such as sweet red bean and savory pork.
D. For many Chinese people, these customs are not just old traditions but living parts of daily life.
E. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people also take part in other activities.
F. The Spring Festival is celebrated in many countries around the world.
【答案】39. B 40. A 41. E 42. D

(中国传统习俗是国家身份的重要组成部分。) ”直接点明传统习俗的核心地位,“Traditional Chinese customs” 与标题和后文 “These practices” 相呼应,为全文奠定基调,符合语境。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据后文“This dish symbolizes prosperity, as the word for fish in Chinese ('yu') sounds like the word for “surplus.” (这道菜象征着富足,因为中文里“鱼”字的发音和“余”字相同。)可知,空后具体介绍了一道年夜饭菜品的寓意,此处需引出这道菜品。A选项“One of the key foods served at this feast is fish.

【41题详解】
根据前文“people celebrate by racing dragon boats and eating zongzi — glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. (人们通过赛龙舟和吃粽子——一种用竹叶包裹的糯米食品——来庆祝。) 和空后“They hang mugwort and calamus on doorsteps to ward off evil spirits and disease. (他们在门口悬挂艾草和香蒲以驱邪避病。)”可知,前文介绍了端午节的两种庆祝方式,空后提及另一种活动,此处需起到过渡作用。E选项“During the Dragon Boat Festival, people also take part in other activities. (端午节期间,人们还会参与其他活动。) ”中的 “also take part in other activities” 承接前文的赛龙舟、吃粽子,引出后文悬挂艾草和香蒲的活动,逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选E项。
【42题详解】
根据后文“In a fast-paced modern world, they remind people of their roots and provide a sense of belonging.

(对许多中国人来说,这些习俗不仅仅是古老的传统,更是日常生活中鲜活的一部分。)”中的“ these customs”指代前文提到的各类传统习俗,“living parts of daily life” 与后文 “remind people of their roots” 相呼应,突出习俗在现代的生命力,符合语境。故选D项。

【答案】The first time he set foot in Shanghai, he was amazed by its modern and historical architecture.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句和动词短语。描述过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时。名词短语“第一次”The first time引导时间状语从句,the位于句首首字母大写,从句主语“他”he,谓语“来到”set foot in,set用过去式形式,“上海”Shanghai,主句主语“他”he,“惊叹于”be amazed by,he作主语,be用was,“其现代和历史建筑”its modern and historical architecture,名词短语作介词by的宾语。故翻译为The first time he set foot in Shanghai, he was amazed by its modern and historical architecture.

【答案】
Dear Event Organizer,
I am Li Ming from Mingqi High School. I appreciate the initiative to engage our community on the Double Ninth Festival. However, I have some suggestions to enhance the event.
Firstly, while tai chi and paper-cutting are great, they might not appeal to all seniors. To include more participants, we could add activities like music appreciation or storytelling sessions that cater to different interests and abilities.
Secondly, to make the most of the half-day event, a detailed schedule should be created and shared beforehand. This will help ensure smooth transitions between activities and allow participants to prepare accordingly.
Lastly, to foster deeper connections, I propose making the talent show interactive by inviting a few seniors to share their stories or talents alongside the students. This would create a more collaborative and intergenerational atmosphere.
Thank you for considering my suggestions. I believe these adjustments will make the event more meaningful and memorable for everyone involved.
Best regards,
Li Ming
