The woman, with a smile on her face, explained that she’d been keeping her 19 on that table for several minutes and had been on her way over. The man, also smiling told her she was out of 20 .
She stood off the side, clearly disappointed, and greeted her friend with the 21 news. I sat at my table, 22 the scene, and suddenly I realized that I had an opportunity to be kind.
I stood up and asked her to 23 to my table. Quietly, I told her I had seen what had happened, and I was 24 to give her my table. I was only going to be there a few more minutes anyway, 25 I was glad for her and her friend to have the seat.
“But where will you sit?” she asked. I was 26 done eating, I said. She thanked me and lighted up with 27 as she invited her friend to sit down.
Thinking about it as I finished up, I realized that whether or not the woman had acceptable demand (需求) for the table was 28 . The feeling of the situation—the look of hurt on her face-had struck me, and I 29 the ability to do something about it.

Latina Stewart collects coupons (优惠券) all year long. She uses them to get extra (额外的) things, like soaps and toilet paper, and keeps them all over her house. She and her family make it a tradition to put these things in pretty bags and give them to homeless people during holidays.
“I was homeless when I was young and I had to stay in different places. I still remember sleeping in the car with my dad one night,” Stewart said.
Stewart started using coupons five years ago because she needed to save money while taking care of her three kids. After getting ideas from a TV show about coupons, Stewart watched videos online and joined online groups to learn to get coupons.
The family’s house quickly filled with things like toilet paper, toothbrushes, and soap. It became too much because their house was small. So, Stewart decided to hand out these things during holidays, because she remembered how it felt not to get any gifts when she was a child.
“A man said to me, ‘I’ve never had a gift during holidays,’” Stewart said. “His face just lit up. It brought a lot of comfort (慰藉) to me, and I decided to keep giving.”
Friends and strangers also began giving Stewart donations (捐赠物) like food and clothes to hand out as well. Stewart’s best friend Kearse also helped her by giving her coupons.
Kearse said she was not surprised by Stewart’s kindness. “She’s always been a giver, even when she didn’t have much money.”
Last New Year’s Day was the only holiday since 2019 when Stewart didn’t hand out her bags, because her family moved house at that time. But when she walked into her new house, the first thing she said was “I have so much space to keep things for the homeless.”
34.What experience made Stewart want to help the homeless?
A.She was homeless as a child. B.She learned about coupons on TV.
C.She tried to save money to raise her kids. D.She started a family tradition to share gifts with friends.
35.Which of the following might bring a lot of comfort to Stewart?
A.A friend’s thanks. B.Her father’s change.
C.Other coupon shoppers’ news. D.A homeless person’s happy face.
36.Which of the following can best describe Stewart?
A.Well-spoken. B.Hard-working. C.Free-thinking. D.Warm-hearted.
37.What might be the reason for Stewart’s move to a new house?
A.Her old house was far from the coupon shops.
B.Her old house was too small to keep the donations.
C.It was difficult to keep the donations clean in her old house.
D.It was impossible to look after the homeless in her old house.
C
We all love our parents and they love us too. However, misunderstandings can still happen if we don’t understand each other’s ways of expressing love—a challenge especially common in parent-child relationships. So, it is important to express our love in the right way.
The way someone expresses love is called their “love language”. In the book The 5 Love Languages, Gary Chapman introduces five key love languages that people use to express and experience love: words of affirmation (肯定), quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. It helps us understand how different people show and receive love.
Because of generational differences (代际差异), our love languages are usually different from our parents’. For example, my parents show love through acts of service, like cooking for me. I, however, prefer to express love through words of affirmation. This difference created a big disagreement between us at the beginning. I would try to talk to them, but they wouldn’t answer. They would try to help me by cooking, but I would get impatient. Things changed when I began to recognize their purposes.
To connect with your parents, speak their love language. If they value quality time, spend more time with them. If they like receiving gifts, give them something meaningful. If they love words of affirmation, praise them. This way, they can recognize and accept your love more easily.
Avoid forcing them to accept a love language they don’t understand, like always asking for hugs if they’re uncomfortable with it. Instead, learn to speak their language. This will lead to better and faster results in your relationship.
Understanding and accepting your parents’ love language can help bridge the gap between generations. It’s not just about expressing love in your own way; it’s about recognizing and respecting how your parents express their love. By doing so, you can keep a deeper and more meaningful connection with your parents. Remember, love is best expressed when it is understood.
38.According to the first paragraph parent-child relationships may be better if ________.
A.parents and children love each other.
B.parents try to offer good services to children
C.parents can communicate in different languages
D.parents and children use the right way of expressing love
39.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The writer and his parents like the same kind of food.
B.The writer expressed love in speech more than in action.
C.Parents can easily accept the way their children show love.
D.Children’s language of love is always similar to their parents’.
40.What does the underlined phrase “bridge the gap” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Build a real bridge between two places.
B.Remember happy moments with parents.
C.Give expensive gifts to family members.
D.Reduce differences and improve connections.
41.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce a book about family love.
B.To explain how to choose perfect gifts for parents.
C.To compare ways of expressing love between generations.
D.To stress the importance of understanding different love languages.
D
No matter how you do it, booking (预订) holidays can be a headache. It used to require a visit to a travel agent (代理人). Later, online travel agents appeared, allowing people to plan trips from the comfort of their own homes. With the help of AI, now they can easily deal with the brainwork, too. For example, Expedia has introduced Romie—“an AI-powered travel buddy”. And another company, Trip.com, has brought out TripGenie.
Many people expect AI to free them from boring work. This may explain why AI trip planners are drawing attention. They’re perfect for those who go mad when booking holidays.
But are these AI booking agents reliable (可靠的)? Some have tried them out. When a couple asked TripGenie to find a romantic hotel in Paris, its top suggestion was by the airport. “Well, perhaps the AI agent is still in its early days,” they concluded.
Tools like TripGenie are facing competition from AI companies, too. OpenAI, for example, is testing its Operator. The AI bot is supposed to “mimic a human’s use of the Web”. When asked about that Paris trip, it suggests places with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Some researchers think OpenAI might soon disrupt the online travel agents’ market.
One problem with AI booking agents is that they make mistakes. Air Canada got in trouble after its chatbot wrongly promised a user a discount (折扣). Could AI agents be fooled into booking a more expensive flight? Would anyone feel safe giving his or her credit card information to an AI agent then?
AI agents may also have difficulty understanding the variety of people’s tastes. Someone may think it’s not romantic to choose a metal tower at all. One couple—the groom Icelandic and the bride French—recently got married on a flight between their countries. For them, a hotel room by Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport might have suited them better.
42.Why are AI trip planners becoming popular?
A.Because they never make mistakes.
B.Because they are cheaper than human agents.
C.Because they understand personal tastes well.
D.Because they can help people avoid boring work.
43.How does the writer show us whether AI booking agents are reliable?
A.By listing numbers. B.By giving an example.
C.By asking questions. D.By having a comparison.
44.What can we infer from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A.AI agents always offer a discount.
B.AI agents never book flights with higher prices.
C.AI agents can make users’ credit card information safe.
D.AI agents have problems meeting different people’s tastes.
45.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.What can AI do for us? B.Is AI a good choice to book holidays?
C.How does AI help people book holidays? D.Why is AI popular with people today?

The envelope (信封) is designed (设计) to protect letters. It is so common today that we pay little attention to it. But do you know when and where the envelope first appeared? The history of the envelope may be much longer than you think.
It’s believed that the envelope first appeared in ancient China. It was used to protect royal (皇室的) messages. However, the early envelope was nothing like what we use today. It looked like a ball. After the message was put into it, the envelope would be closed with more clay. To read the message, one had to break the “envelope”.
The first paper envelope appeared around 200 BC. It was also invented by the Chinese. However, at first, people used it only to send money. The design of the early paper envelope was very simple, but it was made completely by hand. So it was very expensive.
In the 19th century, printing technology improved greatly. The machine could produce about 12,500 envelopes every day. The price of envelopes went down.
Today, e-emails have become more popular than handwritten letters. But millions of envelopes are used every year. They are still part of modern life.
56.What did the early envelope look like?
57.What was the early paper envelope used for?
58.How was the early paper envelope made?
59.Why were so many envelopes produced every day in the 19th century?

When people moved to a faraway town, it took a long time to receive their friends’ letters. Thanks to the development of technology, how we make friends and c 61 with them has changed greatly.
Now, social media (社交媒体) let us see what our friends are doing and help us keep friendships no matter how far we go. All we n 62 is a Wi-Fi connection. The digital age also makes us find people who share similar i 63 such as collecting model cars or playing sports easily. Whatever our hobbies are, the Internet can c 64 us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does it mean that they are really your friends? It d 65 . If people always tell you true p 66 information online, then yes, these friendships can be meaningful. But we still need to r 67 that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. On the internet, some people try to make themselves look perfect and friendly. So perfect photos of them may not be r 68 . A young person could be old, a woman could be a man. We might even s 69 our secrets with criminals (罪犯).
But this doesn’t mean that we should keep away from the internet. Although technology has changed the way we make friends, the meaning of friendship remains the same. As Aristotle said, no one could live w 70 friends, even if he had all the good qualities.

(时间:100分钟;满分:120分)
一、单项选择(共15小题;每小题1分,计15分)

A.isn’t; a B.isn’t; the C.aren’t; a D.aren’t; the
【答案】A
【解析】句意:两个小时不够。我认为我需要再一个小时来完成工作。
考查主谓一致和冠词用法。isn’t不,单数;aren’t不,复数;a一个,不定冠词,用于辅音音素前;the这个,那个,定冠词。根据“Two hours”可知表示时间总量,视为单数概念,因此动词用单数形式isn’t;序数词third前用不定冠词a表示“又一个”或“额外的一个”,而非特指。故选A。
2.We should divide all the tomatoes ________ two piles and separate the good ones ________ the bad ones.
A.from, by B.into, into C.into, from D.from, into
【答案】C
【解析】句意:我们应该把所有的西红柿分成两堆,并把好的和坏的分开。
考查介词辨析。from与……分离/隔开;into进入;by通过。根据“We should divide all the tomatoes...two piles”可知第一个空表示“把……分成”,对应短语“divide into”;根据“separated the good ones...the bad ones.”可知第二个空表示“将好的与坏的分开”,用“separate...from”。故选C。
3.They decided to _________ at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning to reach the mountain top before sunrise.
A.set off B.set up C.set out for D.set down
【答案】A
【解析】句意:他们决定明天早上6点出发,以便在日出前到达山顶。

4.Jane won’t take part in our class’s activities voluntarily ________ she is asked to.
A.if B.unless C.because D.when
【答案】B
【解析】句意:简不会自愿参加我们班级的活动,除非她被要求参加。
考查连词辨析。if如果;unless除非;because因为;when当……时。句子主句表示“不会自愿参加”,从句“她被要求参加”表示否定的条件,因此使用“unless”引导条件状语从句。故选B。
5.I wonder if he ________ abroad next year. If he ________, please tell me.
A.will go, do B.go, will do C.will go, does D.goes, will do
【答案】C

考查动词时态。will go一般将来时;do动词原形;go动词原形;will do一般将来时;does第三人称单数;goes第三人称单数。第一句中“if”引导宾语从句,有“next year”表示将来,故用“will go”;第二句中“if”引导条件状语从句,主句为祈使句,从句用一般现在时表示将来,主语“he”为第三人称单数,故用“does”。故选C。
6.—Look! What a heavy rain!
—It’s _________ bad weather _________ we all have to stay at home at the weekend.
A.such a, that B./, so that C.such, that D.so, that
【答案】C
【解析】句意:——看!好大的雨!——天气如此糟糕,以至于我们周末都必须待在家里。
考查结果状语从句。weather为不可数名词,故用such修饰,而不用so,不可数名词前不能加不定冠词a;so that引导目的状语从句,而题干是“天气糟糕导致待在家”的结果关系,可排除;结合选项可知,C项符合。故选C。
7.The suspect was _________ with breaking _________ several computer systems.
A.charging, on B.to charge, in C.charged, into D.charges, to
【答案】C
【解析】句意:嫌疑人被指控非法侵入了几个计算机系统。
考查被动语态和动词短语搭配。charging指控,控告,动名词形式;on在……上;to charge指控,控告,不定式形式;in在……里。charged指控,控告,过去分词形式;into进入……中。charges指控,控告,第三人称单数;to朝,向。根据“The suspect was…with breaking”可知,此处表示嫌疑人被指控,应用被动语态,be charged with…,意为“被指控……”,此处was后需接过去分词charged构成被动语态;根据“breaking…several computer systems”可知,此处表示“非法侵入”,应用固定短语break into。故选C。

【答案】C
【解析】句意:李女士每天都不知疲倦地工作,以在办公室树立自己作为受人尊敬的领导者的形象。

A.read; look B.read; looking C.reading; look D.reading; looking
【答案】B

【答案】C
【解析】句意:——我们在希望餐厅吃晚饭吗?——也许,如果雪在6点之前停了,我们就去那里。但我不知道那时是否会有空桌。
考查条件状语从句和宾语从句的时态。根据“we will go there if the snow...before 6 o’clock.”可知,第一空为if引导条件状语从句,遵循“主将从现”原则,从句用一般现在时,从句主语为the snow,动词用三单形式stops;根据“But I don’t know if there...then”可知,第二空为if引导宾语从句,表示将来时间,用一般将来时will be。故选C。
13.During rush hour, the main street becomes crowded with cars moving slowly through the heavy ________.
A.rain B.traffic C.wind D.smoke

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在咖啡馆目睹了一位女士未能抢到座位后,主动让出自己的座位,并从中体会到与人为善的快乐。
16.句意:我一边慢慢吃早餐一边看书,正享受着凉爽的风和温暖的阳光,这时我旁边的一个座位空了出来。
touching触摸;watching观看;enjoying享受;avoiding避免。根据“the feeling of the cool wind and the warm sun”可知,凉爽的风和温暖的阳光是令人愉悦的,此处应是“享受”这种感觉。故选C。
17.句意:一位一直站在附近、显然在等座位的女士朝那张桌子走去。
onto在……之上;towards朝着;behind在……后面;beside在……旁边。根据“a table next to me opened up”和“she’d been keeping her...on that table for several minutes”可知,女士一直在等这个座位,所以座位空出后她朝桌子走去,“step towards”表示“朝……走去”。故选B。
18.句意:但从另一个方向,从停车场径直走来一位男士,他先到了桌子。
man男人;woman女人;guard警卫;boss老板。根据“The man, also smiling...”可知,先到桌子的是一位男士。故选A。
19.句意:这位女士面带微笑地解释说,她一直盯着那张桌子好几分钟了,正要走过去。
ears耳朵;force力量;eyes眼睛;mind头脑。keep one’s eyes on为固定短语,意为“注视,盯着”。故选C。
20.句意:那位男士也微笑着告诉她,她运气不好。
control控制;style风格;patience耐心;luck运气。out of luck为固定短语,意为“运气不好”。故选D。
21.句意:她站在一旁,显然很失望,并把令人失望的消息告诉了她的朋友。
amazing惊人的;pitiful可怜的;painful痛苦的;disappointing令人失望的。根据“clearly disappointed”可知,女士没占到座位,这个消息是令人失望的。故选D。
22.句意:我坐在自己的桌子旁,注意到了这个场景,突然意识到我有一个表达善意的机会。
realized意识到;remembered记得;noticed注意到;recalled回忆。根据“the scene”和“suddenly I realized that I had an opportunity to be kind”可知,作者是“注意到”了眼前发生的一幕,才产生了善意的想法。故选C。
23.句意:我站起来,请她来我的桌子。
go去;come来;enter进入;visit拜访。根据“to my table”可知,是邀请她“过来”自己的桌子。come to表示“来到……”。故选B。
24.句意:我悄悄告诉她我看到了发生的事情,并且我很高兴把我的桌子让给她。
sorry抱歉的;angry生气的;regretful后悔的;happy高兴的。根据“to give her my table”和后文“was glad for her and her friend to have the seat”可知,作者是“乐意”让座的。故选D。
25.句意:反正我再待几分钟就要走了,所以我很高兴让她和她的朋友有这个座位。
but但是;although虽然;so所以;because因为。前文“I was only going to be there a few more minutes anyway”是后文“was glad for her and her friend to have the seat”的原因,前后为因果关系,用so连接。故选C。
26.句意:她说:“但是你要坐哪里呢?”我说我差不多吃完了。
never从不;almost几乎;already已经;always总是。根据“But where will you sit?”可知,女士担心作者没地方坐,作者解释自己“几乎”吃完了,既符合实际场景,也能打消女士的顾虑,almost done意为“差不多完成了”。故选B。

success成功;promise承诺;pride自豪;pleasure愉快。light up with pleasure意为“脸上焕发出喜悦的光彩”,符合她得到座位后的心情。故选D。
28.句意:当我吃完时,回想这件事,我意识到这位女士对座位的要求是否合理并不重要。
unbelievable难以置信的;uncomfortable不舒服的;unimportant不重要的;unusual不寻常的。根据“The feeling of the situation—the look of hurt on her face-had struck me”可知,作者更在意的是女士失望受伤的表情,而非她的需求是否合理,所以此处表示“不重要的”。故选C。
29.句意:当时的情境——她脸上受伤的表情——触动了我,而我正好有能力做点什么。
had有;lost失去;received收到;exchanged交换。have the ability to do sth.意为“有能力做某事”。故选A。

Latina Stewart collects coupons (优惠券) all year long. She uses them to get extra (额外的) things, like soaps and toilet paper, and keeps them all over her house. She and her family make it a tradition to put these things in pretty bags and give them to homeless people during holidays.
“I was homeless when I was young and I had to stay in different places. I still remember sleeping in the car with my dad one night,” Stewart said.
Stewart started using coupons five years ago because she needed to save money while taking care of her three kids. After getting ideas from a TV show about coupons, Stewart watched videos online and joined online groups to learn to get coupons.
The family’s house quickly filled with things like toilet paper, toothbrushes, and soap. It became too much because their house was small. So, Stewart decided to hand out these things during holidays, because she remembered how it felt not to get any gifts when she was a child.
“A man said to me, ‘I’ve never had a gift during holidays,’” Stewart said. “His face just lit up. It brought a lot of comfort (慰藉) to me, and I decided to keep giving.”
Friends and strangers also began giving Stewart donations (捐赠物) like food and clothes to hand out as well. Stewart’s best friend Kearse also helped her by giving her coupons.
Kearse said she was not surprised by Stewart’s kindness. “She’s always been a giver, even when she didn’t have much money.”
Last New Year’s Day was the only holiday since 2019 when Stewart didn’t hand out her bags, because her family moved house at that time. But when she walked into her new house, the first thing she said was “I have so much space to keep things for the homeless.”
34.What experience made Stewart want to help the homeless?
A.She was homeless as a child. B.She learned about coupons on TV.
C.She tried to save money to raise her kids. D.She started a family tradition to share gifts with friends.
35.Which of the following might bring a lot of comfort to Stewart?
A.A friend’s thanks. B.Her father’s change.
C.Other coupon shoppers’ news. D.A homeless person’s happy face.
36.Which of the following can best describe Stewart?
A.Well-spoken. B.Hard-working. C.Free-thinking. D.Warm-hearted.
37.What might be the reason for Stewart’s move to a new house?
A.Her old house was far from the coupon shops.
B.Her old house was too small to keep the donations.
C.It was difficult to keep the donations clean in her old house.
D.It was impossible to look after the homeless in her old house.

We all love our parents and they love us too. However, misunderstandings can still happen if we don’t understand each other’s ways of expressing love—a challenge especially common in parent-child relationships. So, it is important to express our love in the right way.
The way someone expresses love is called their “love language”. In the book The 5 Love Languages, Gary Chapman introduces five key love languages that people use to express and experience love: words of affirmation (肯定), quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. It helps us understand how different people show and receive love.
Because of generational differences (代际差异), our love languages are usually different from our parents’. For example, my parents show love through acts of service, like cooking for me. I, however, prefer to express love through words of affirmation. This difference created a big disagreement between us at the beginning. I would try to talk to them, but they wouldn’t answer. They would try to help me by cooking, but I would get impatient. Things changed when I began to recognize their purposes.
To connect with your parents, speak their love language. If they value quality time, spend more time with them. If they like receiving gifts, give them something meaningful. If they love words of affirmation, praise them. This way, they can recognize and accept your love more easily.
Avoid forcing them to accept a love language they don’t understand, like always asking for hugs if they’re uncomfortable with it. Instead, learn to speak their language. This will lead to better and faster results in your relationship.
Understanding and accepting your parents’ love language can help bridge the gap between generations. It’s not just about expressing love in your own way; it’s about recognizing and respecting how your parents express their love. By doing so, you can keep a deeper and more meaningful connection with your parents. Remember, love is best expressed when it is understood.
38.According to the first paragraph parent-child relationships may be better if ________.
A.parents and children love each other.
B.parents try to offer good services to children
C.parents can communicate in different languages
D.parents and children use the right way of expressing love

A.Build a real bridge between two places.
B.Remember happy moments with parents.
C.Give expensive gifts to family members.
D.Reduce differences and improve connections.
41.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce a book about family love.

No matter how you do it, booking (预订) holidays can be a headache. It used to require a visit to a travel agent (代理人). Later, online travel agents appeared, allowing people to plan trips from the comfort of their own homes. With the help of AI, now they can easily deal with the brainwork, too. For example, Expedia has introduced Romie—“an AI-powered travel buddy”. And another company, Trip.com, has brought out TripGenie.
Many people expect AI to free them from boring work. This may explain why AI trip planners are drawing attention. They’re perfect for those who go mad when booking holidays.
But are these AI booking agents reliable (可靠的)? Some have tried them out. When a couple asked TripGenie to find a romantic hotel in Paris, its top suggestion was by the airport. “Well, perhaps the AI agent is still in its early days,” they concluded.
Tools like TripGenie are facing competition from AI companies, too. OpenAI, for example, is testing its Operator. The AI bot is supposed to “mimic a human’s use of the Web”. When asked about that Paris trip, it suggests places with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Some researchers think OpenAI might soon disrupt the online travel agents’ market.
One problem with AI booking agents is that they make mistakes. Air Canada got in trouble after its chatbot wrongly promised a user a discount (折扣). Could AI agents be fooled into booking a more expensive flight? Would anyone feel safe giving his or her credit card information to an AI agent then?
AI agents may also have difficulty understanding the variety of people’s tastes. Someone may think it’s not romantic to choose a metal tower at all. One couple—the groom Icelandic and the bride French—recently got married on a flight between their countries. For them, a hotel room by Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport might have suited them better.
42.Why are AI trip planners becoming popular?
A.Because they never make mistakes.
B.Because they are cheaper than human agents.
C.Because they understand personal tastes well.
D.Because they can help people avoid boring work.
43.How does the writer show us whether AI booking agents are reliable?
A.By listing numbers. B.By giving an example.
C.By asking questions. D.By having a comparison.
44.What can we infer from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A.AI agents always offer a discount.
B.AI agents never book flights with higher prices.
C.AI agents can make users’ credit card information safe.
D.AI agents have problems meeting different people’s tastes.
45.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.What can AI do for us? B.Is AI a good choice to book holidays?
C.How does AI help people book holidays? D.Why is AI popular with people today?
【答案】42.D 43.B 44.D 45.B

43.细节理解题。根据“But are these AI booking agents reliable? Some have tried them out. When a couple asked TripGenie to find a romantic hotel in Paris, its top suggestion was by the airport.”可推知,作者通过列举一个具体的使用案例来展示AI预订代理的可靠性问题。故选B。
44.推理判断题。根据“One problem with AI booking agents is that they make mistakes.”以及“AI agents may also have difficulty understanding the variety of people’s tastes.”可推知,AI代理在满足不同人的个性化品味方面存在问题。故选D。
45.最佳标题题。文章开篇引出AI可用于预订假期,接着第二段提到其受欢迎的原因,但从第三段开始,通过具体案例、竞争分析以及指出其存在的问题 (如犯错、安全隐患、难以理解多样化品味等),对AI预订假期的可靠性提出了质疑。整个文章的核心是在探讨“使用AI来预订假期是否是一个好的选择”。故选B。

The envelope (信封) is designed (设计) to protect letters. It is so common today that we pay little attention to it. But do you know when and where the envelope first appeared? The history of the envelope may be much longer than you think.
It’s believed that the envelope first appeared in ancient China. It was used to protect royal (皇室的) messages. However, the early envelope was nothing like what we use today. It looked like a ball. After the message was put into it, the envelope would be closed with more clay. To read the message, one had to break the “envelope”.
The first paper envelope appeared around 200 BC. It was also invented by the Chinese. However, at first, people used it only to send money. The design of the early paper envelope was very simple, but it was made completely by hand. So it was very expensive.
In the 19th century, printing technology improved greatly. The machine could produce about 12,500 envelopes every day. The price of envelopes went down.
Today, e-emails have become more popular than handwritten letters. But millions of envelopes are used every year. They are still part of modern life.
56.What did the early envelope look like?
57.What was the early paper envelope used for?
58.How was the early paper envelope made?
59.Why were so many envelopes produced every day in the 19th century?

But when you “friend” people online, does it mean that they are really your friends? It d 65 . If people always tell you true p 66 information online, then yes, these friendships can be meaningful. But we still need to r 67 that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. On the internet, some people try to make themselves look perfect and friendly. So perfect photos of them may not be r 68 . A young person could be old, a woman could be a man. We might even s 69 our secrets with criminals (罪犯).
But this doesn’t mean that we should keep away from the internet. Although technology has changed the way we make friends, the meaning of friendship remains the same. As Aristotle said, no one could live w 70 friends, even if he had all the good qualities.

【解析】本文探讨了科技发展对人们交友与交流方式的影响,既肯定了社交媒体在维系友谊、连接同好方面的作用,也提醒人们警惕网络交友的虚假性,最终指出尽管方式改变,友谊的本质意义始终不变。
61.句意:多亏了科技的发展,我们交朋友以及与他们交流的方式发生了巨大变化。根据前文提到“receive their friends’ letters”,体现过去的交流方式,结合首字母“c”,此处指“聊天交流”,“chat/communicate with” 为固定短语,与“make friends”并列,故填(c)hat/(c)ommunicate。
62.句意:我们所需要的只是一个无线网络连接。根据“a Wi-Fi connection”及首字母“n”,此处指“需要”,“need”意为“需要”,主语是“we”,动词用原形,故填(n)eed。
63.句意:数字时代也让我们很容易找到有相似兴趣的人,比如收集汽车模型或做运动。根据“collecting model cars or playing sports”可知,收集汽车模型、做运动均为“兴趣爱好”,此处“interests”用复数形式表示多种爱好,故填(i)nterests。
64.句意:无论我们的爱好是什么,互联网都能把我们和其他同样喜欢这些爱好的人联系起来,即使他们住在世界的另一端。“connect...with...”为固定短语,意为“把……和……联系起来”,根据“can”可知,情态动词后接动词原形,故填(c)onnect。
65.句意:这取决于具体情况。根据“does it mean that they are really your friends?”可知,此处回应“这取决于情况”,depend“取决于”符合语境,主语是“it”,动词用第三人称单数形式,故填(d)epends。
66.句意:如果人们在网上总是告诉你真实的个人信息,那么是的,这些友谊可能是有意义的。根据“true”和“information online”以及结合首字母“p”可知,“personal”符合语境,“personal information”意为“个人信息”,故填(p)ersonal。
67.句意:但我们仍然需要记住,我们在社交媒体上看到的往往不是一个人的全部真相。根据“what we see...is often not the whole truth”结合首字母“r”可知,remember“记住”符合语境,“need to”后接动词原形,故填(r)emember。
68.句意:所以他们那些完美的照片可能不是真实的。根据“some people try to make themselves look perfect”结合首字母“r”可知,此处指照片“不真实”,real“真实的”符合语境,故填(r)eal。
69.句意:我们甚至可能和罪犯分享我们的秘密。根据句意及首字母“s”可知,share“分享”符合语境,“share...with...”为固定短语,意为“与……分享……”,“might”后接动词原形,故填(s)hare。
70.句意:正如亚里士多德所说,没有人能没有朋友而生活,即使他拥有所有的优秀品质。根据“the meaning of friendship remains the same”及首字母“w”可知,without“没有”符合语境,此处强调“没有朋友”,故填(w)ithout。

【参考范文】
The Change That Makes Me Better
I used to be very shy and quiet. I was afraid to speak in public and didn’t like making new friends.
The most important change is that I’ve become more outgoing. This happened when I joined the school English club in Grade 8. At first, I was nervous, but with the help of my teacher and classmates, I started to participate more. I even joined an English speech competition. Though I didn’t win, it made me realize I could do things I once thought were impossible.
Now I enjoy talking to people and trying new things. These changes will help me a lot in the future.
