My almost 6-year-old son is currently crazy about Star Wars and Harry Potter.I know he's young,
but the movies and books bring up topics for us to sort through all the time-tough topics.A good
chance for me!We read the books together;we watch the movies together.We've talked about many
things that some parents of a 5-year-old might not talk about,but I want to have these conversations
with my son.
Today,it was rainy and when the baby took her nap,I allowed him to watch a Star Wars movie
as a reward for being so kind this moriing to his sister who was feeling a little unhappy.As I was
folding laundry,I said to him,very casually,"Wow,that Darth Vader really makes me sick."My son
chided me:"Mama,Darth Vader has good in him.I know he's on the dark side,but he isn't all bad."
This launched us into a conversation about good versus evil and how goodness can be found in anyone
if we only look hard enough.
For the past week,I feel like I have been tested with various examples of people simply not
being nice.And some people were rude for no apparent reason.A nurse was impatient with me on the
phone when I called for a prescription.Little ears were listening in on all of those instances and atter
5
doing my best to be nice on the phone call with the nurse,I hung up and said to my husband,"Wow,
what was wrong with her?She was so rude."My boy said,"Mama,we all have a bad day.Be nice to
her and she might be nice to you back."This child teaches me lessons every day,and all we can do is
treat people with kindness,as hard as it might be.
The nurse was probably exhausted from taking sick calls and maybe she simply needed a coffee
break.I do know that those people were not on their best behavior or showing their best side but how
many of us have been in those exact shoes?We all act in haste.We all speak in haste.We all do things
we regret.And,if we were lucky.we were met with kindness instead of anger in return for our
outburst.
My son reminded me today to be kinder and gentler to the people I meet with.I'm going to try
harder this week.I'm going to try to smile when met with a frown.Like he mentions,even Darth
Vader has good in him and maybe he just needs a little sympathy.
56.How does the writer react to her son's recent interest?
Trying to persuade him to change his mind.
B.Using it as a chance to shorten their distance.
Trying to help him develop some more hobbies
D.Using it as a chance to have a deep talk with him
57.The underlined word "chided"in paragraph 2 means
A.appreciated
B.supported
Ccr且raized
D.rejected
58.The writer tried to be kind to the nurse on the phoue because
A.she didn't want to annoy the nurse
B.she didn't want to influence her kids negattvel
C.she knew the nurse was unhappy that day
D.she had to get the important informnatton
59.Which of the following words car he ased to describe the author's son'
A.Optimistic.
B:Considerate.
C.Selfless.
D.Brave.
60.What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage people to find the good in others and treat them kindly.
B.To encourage people to sympathize with those in trouble.
C.To encourage people to smile to those unfriendly to them.
To encourage people to reward others'kindness and help more people.
C
Have you ever wondered why the sound of a mosquito (seems so much louder and more
annoying at night when you're trying to sleep?It's not just your imagination;there's actual science
behind this nightly nuisance(讨厌的东西).
The primary reason is the Cocktail Party Effect.During the day,your environment is filled with
a variety of sounds-people talking,traffic noise,birds chirping,etc.Your brain acts as a filter
)focusing on what is important(like a conversation)and tuning out background noise.In this
crowded“sound party,.”the mosquito's buzz(嗡嗡声)is just another unimportant background noise,.
easily ignored.
However,at night,the world becomes much quieter.The background noise that once masked the
mosquito's buzz disappears.With fewer competing sounds,your brain has less to filter out,making the
mosquito's high-pitched whine seem disproportionately loud and urgent.It becomes the main "guest"
at a very quiet party,and your brain focuses on it entirely.
Furthermore,evolution may play a role.Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk.Our
ancestors who were light sleepers and more alert to these potential disease-carrying pests might have
had a survival advantage.Therefore,we might be hardwired to be particularly sensitive to that specific
sound when we are resting.
So the next time a mosquito's buzz keeps you awake,remember:it's not just a bug,it's a master
of sound,exploring the quiet of the night and your brain's own filtering system to become the most
irritating(烦人的)sound on the planet.
61.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To describe the life cycle of a mosquito.
B.To explain how human hearing works
C.To introduce a common experience and the topic.
D.To complain about the harm mosquitoes cause.
62.According to the passage,what is the "Cocktail Party Ef
A.The ability to focus on a single sound in a noisy environr
B.A party where people talk about science.
C.The phenomenon where music sounds better ata party
D.The effect of alcohol on human hearing.
63.Why does a mosquito's buzz seem louder at.night
Because mosquitoes are larger and stronger at night
B.Because there is less background noise to mask it.
C.Because human hearing becomes sharper after dark.
L Because mosquitoes fly closer to our ears at night.
64.What evolutionary reason is suggested for our sensitivity to the mosquito's buzz?
A.It helped our ancestors avoid dangerous animals.
B.It prevented our ancestors from sleeping too deeply.
C.It allowed our ancestors to communicate better at night.
D.It made our ancestors more alert to disease carriers.
65.What is the author's tone in the last sentence of the passage?
A.Serious and worried.
B.Angry and frustrated.
C.Humorous and vivid.
D.Sad and disappointed.
D
Have you ever found that those so-called classical literature is actually boring and wordy?Have
you ever been employed to read such works with total reluctance and unwillingness?However,these
works,when published,suddenly became a hit all around the world,and won a large number of
followers.Why here exists the huge distinction between their venerable fames and your natural
judgement?
The answer lies not in the works themselves,but in the mismatch between readers'expectations
and the historical context in which these texts were created.Classics reflect the language,values,and
concerns of their own time,which can feel distant or irrelevant to modern readers.Long-winded
descriptions,unfamiliar social customs,and archaic sentence structures can be barriers to engagement.
However,labeling them as boring overlooks the lasting human truths they contain-truths that have
resonated for generations.
One key reason we struggle to connect with classical literature is that these works explore deep
emotions and moral dilemmas-love,guilt,ambition,loss-that resonate most when we've lived
through similar experiences ourselves.It is difficult to appreciate Shakespeare's meditation on
mortality in Hamlet until we have lost someone we love;it is hard to understand Jane Eyre's moral
independence without having struggled with our own identity.These books don't lack meaning-we
simply haven't grown into them yet.
Like a child who cannot fully grasp the complexities of adult life,an inexperienced reader may
fail to see the emotional depth of classic literature.That's why the same book can feel entirely different
when read at different stages of life.A passage that once seemed dult may suddenly feel profound.A
character's decision that once seemed irrational may now appear deeply human.Classics don't change
-but we do.Our growth brings new insights into old texts,.
More importantly,literature helps us practice empathvs B stepping into the shoes of people from
different times,cultures,and social classes,we broaden our emotional perspectives.We are exposed to
ways of thinking and fceling that may be unfamitiar bit are essential to understanding the human
experience.
So perhaps the problem is not with the books,bat with how we approach them.Some books ask
us to slow down,think harder,and feel deeper That is not a flaw )-it is their strength.And as
we gain more life experience,these works reveal their beauty,wisdom,and relevance.Through them,
we don't just understand literature-wecome to understand others,and ultimately,ourselves.
66.What is the main reason the author suggests modern readers may struggle with classical literature?
A.Classical literature uses outdated vocabulary.
B.Classical works reflect values and concerns from a different historical context.
C.Modern readers lack interest in older texts.
D.Classical works are too short to engage with deeply.
67.According to the article,why might a young reader find Hamlet or Jane Eyre difficult to relate to?
They carry many special designs of plots.
B.They have not yet experienced similar emotions.
C.They have little empathetic ability.
The characters are too unrealistic.
68.What is the primary purpose of literature,as described in the article?
A.To entertain readers with exciting plots.
B.To expose readers to different historical periods.
C.To help readers practice empathy and understand others
D.To teach readers about the complexities of life.
8
69.What is the central argument of the article?
A.Classical literature is irrelevant to modern readers.
B.We should approach classical works with openness and patience.
C.Modern literature is superior to classical literature.
U.Some classical literature should be rewritten for modern readers.
70.Which of the following best summarizes the article's view on classical literature?
A.Classical literature is outdated and should be replaced by modern works.
B.Modern readers should learn to read classical literature carefully.
C Classical literature is useful for academic study and personal growth.
D.Classical works have their necessary vaiues behind.

even herself.
When Joe was just a little boy,he would often say to me,"Sister,when I am old enough to get
my license and drive my own car,I will fly so fast that angels win run scared."With a big grin

Under the seat,he discovered a six-pack of Budweiser.And he drank all six cans.He felt inside
the car,found the keys,shouted,"Hooweece!"and fired it up.
I have heard various versions of this story.They all boil down to this:the Ford's engine roared.
My mother fainted ()My stepfather rushed outside.
And my brother,after a moment of pure joy,threw up all over the car.Fortunately,for everyone,
the Ford didn't move an inch.But to this day,Joe still swears that when he found those keys and fired
that old engine up,he definitely heard the angels starting to flee.
