Of all the sports, soccer is what I find joy in the most, and the House Cup is one competition that I will never forget.
I was 12 when I first encountered soccer, but I didn't get much of a chance to play. When I entered high school, I was thrilled to know that there was a soccer team. My fellow teammates were quite skilled and I had a hard time keeping pace, so I tried my best in every class. Day by day, my passion for soccer grew and I began to love the sport. It wasn't easy for me to improve, but each time I touched the ball, I got a bit better.
The soccer House Cup is a traditional competition in our school. Our team trained hard for these games but for various reasons, we didn't win any matches. But I can still remember the lunch hours when we practiced, passing the ball to one another, shooting at the goal, and trying repeatedly to master certain moves. I can still recall moments of the matches, defending, taking control of the ball, and passing the ball to other teammates. I can still hear the cheering of the crowd after we made our shot at the goal and succeeded.
The best moment of the matches was when we faced House Gewu, a strong opponent. At half-time, the score stood at 3-0. All my teammates are at low morale(士气), and that's when our goalkeeper said, “We are not winning, but we will not go down without a fight. Let's struggle and strive(努力) to the end. ”You can tell that her words cheered us. The final score was 4-0, and we did our best.
It's usually believed that to win the championship is the most important thing, but for me, it is the process of fighting with teammates shoulder to shoulder and the spirit presented on the field that are the most valuable. I will always treasure these experiences.
24. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2?.

Once there was a circle that was incomplete because a large triangular wedge(三角形楔子)had been cut out. The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing, so it went around looking for its missing piece.
But because it was incomplete, it could roll only very slowly. As it rolled slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them could fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It took the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms.
To some extent, we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to dream of something better. There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with(接纳)his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go his unrealistic dreams without feeling like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, who can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciating it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others could only long for. We can achieve fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.
28. What can we know about the circle?
A. It suffered a lot during its journey. B. It felt disappointed to be incomplete.
C. It was replaced by a triangular wedge. D. It accepted its incompleteness gradually.
29. Why does the author share with readers the story of the circle?
A. To show he's humorous.
B. To prove that we need to be perfect.
C. To make his argument more persuasive.
D. To explain the importance of being complete.
30. How can we achieve fulfillment according to the author?
A. By working hard.
B. By pursuing perfection.
C. By doing better than others.
D. By accepting our imperfection and moving on.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. True Meaning of Life B. Ways to Achieve Success
C. Learning to Appreciate Life D. To Be More Complete with Imperfection
D
In recent years, seasonal allergies, also called hay fever or allergic rhinitis(过敏性鼻炎),have been hitting people around the world especially hard. Seasonal allergies cause great trouble to people, such as sneezing, tiredness, a runny nose or a congested nose which makes it hard for people to breathe.
In 2021, as many as 81 million Americans experienced seasonal allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The main cause for seasonal allergies is the spread of pollen(花粉), and researchers are blaming climate change for it.
As the planet warms, scientists are seeing two main changes to allergy seasons. Allergy season length is longer and pollen levels are increasing. With warmer winter temperatures, the frost-free season starts earlier in the spring and ends later in the fall. In a research done by William Anderegg, an associate professor at the University of Utah, US, he saw pollen seasons starting about 20 days earlier this year than they did in the 1990s.
Pollen levels have also been increasing in the US. Anderegg's research found about a 21percent increase in the amount of pollen in the air from 1990 to 2018.
This increase is likely fueled by a combination of higher temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels in the air, according to Anderegg. The burning of fossil fuels ——a primary cause of global warming — increases carbon dioxide. As CO₂ levels go up, plants and trees produce more pollen, according to NBC.
Increased rainfall brought on by global warming may be making allergies worse too. “Thunderstorms, pressure changes, and humidity changes that we see through climate change break down pollen spores(孢子) into even smaller pieces, and these pollen spores can then more easily enter the lungs,” Brooke Lappe, a doctoral student at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, said to NBC.
32. Which is not mentioned as a symptom of allergies?
A. Fever. B. Sneezing. C. A blocked nose. D. A runny nose.
33. What influence does climate change have on allergy seasons?
A. Pollen seasons start earlier. B. Allergy seasons last shorter.
C. Pollen levels are increasing in the UK. D. Allergy seasons do less harm to people.
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Allergy seasons last all around the year.
B. Global warming decreases rainfall sharply.
C. Smaller pollen spores tend to worsen allergies.
D. Higher carbon dioxide levels reduce pollen levels.
35. What's the author's main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To give advice on how to deal with allergies.
B. To explain why seasonal allergies are worse.
C. To draw people's attention to climate change.
D. To inform readers of the seriousness of seasonal allergies.

Gift-giving culture plays an important role in Chinese society. It is not only a way for people to express their feelings and respect, 56 also a part of the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.

A walking-stick, some valuable food such as bird’s nests or ginseng would be 58 (high) welcome.

We live near a famous hospital in the city. Since our house is big, we rent some rooms to the patients.
One evening, a truly ugly old man came. Extremely politely, he said, “Good evening. I’m wondering if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore (海岸), and there’s no bus till the morning.” He told me he’d been searching for a room since noon, but failed because of his face.
For a moment, I hesitated (犹豫), not only because there was no room left. But his following words convinced (说服了) me: “I could sleep on the floor. I’ll leave early in the morning.”
By chatting with him, I knew he fished for a living to support a big family. But what touched me most was that instead of complaining, he was grateful that his disease didn’t bring him terrible pain.
At bedtime, we put a bed in the children’s room for him. The next morning, he got up early and asked if he could come again. I told him he would be welcome.
On his next trip, he arrived early in the morning.
