【参考范文】
Hi James,
It’s great to connect with you here on Red Note! I’m more than happy to share some insights about how Chinese high school students use social media.
TikTok is one of the most favored apps for its short videos which cover a wide range of topics from daily life moments to creative arts. WeChat is another essential part of our digital lives where we chat with friends and family and follow official accounts for news and learning resources.
In daily life, I often use social media to keep up with what’s happening around the world and stay connected with friends. Moreover, I enjoy posting content related to traditional festivals, calligraphy, and classic literature on TikTok.
Looking forward to hearing more about your side of the story.
Yours,
Li Jin

He began to walk to school,and then run to school,to run for the joy of running.Later in college he was on

sequences were short but became increasingly complicated,so I stopped paying attention to the directions I

couldn't follow,and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results.At the end of the class.I applauded
and watched the dancers leave the stage.They had already accomplished so much with their day,and I was left in
complete awe,not just of my inadequacy,but also of their effort.

pretty much anything delivered.I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them.But instead
of taking shortcuts,maybe I should look for challenges.Because once you start doing challenging things,they
become easier,and then you know you can do them.
With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind,I commit to doing some hard
things:I get back in the habit of practicing a language I've been trying to learn.I lift heavier weights.I take the
stairs.I write the essay.
Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day.They inspire me.So,I
guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life,even if you're not the one
taking it.

A.Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks
B.Using technology helps improve work efficiency
C.A simple life requires rejecting modern tools
D.Technology's convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges
44.What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson?

B.We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement.
C.Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them.

Zero has had an amazing journey through history.Ancient Greek thinkers like Aristotle didn't believe zero
could exist-they thought"nothing"wasn't a real concept.Meanwhile in India,mathematicians were already
using zero as a real number.Surprisingly,Europe was very slow to accept zero-for hundreds of years,many
Europeans thought it was dangerous or even evil!It was only when businesses started using zero in their
accounting systems that people finally saw how useful it could be.Later,zero became essential for important
scientific discoveries like calculus(微积分),
Why was zero so controversial?The answer lies in how we think.Numbers like 1,2,or 3 are easy because
we can see and count one apple,two dogs,three books.But zero represents nothing at all,which makes it harder
to understand.As one philosopher joked,"Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish!"Even children find zero
confusing.Scientists have found that babies can notice simple math errors (like 2+1-4),but they don't react when
things completely disappear (like 2-2-0).This shows that understanding zero requires abstract thinking.
But is this difficulty just a matter of learning-or does it reflect something deeper in our brain's design?
Scientists have discovered special brain cells that only respond to"nothing"-they call these"zero neurons".
Some of these cells only activate (when there's truly nothing there,while others respond in order-
strongest for zero,then less for one,even less for two,and so on.This suggests that our brains treat zero as a
unique concept and may place it at the very start of our mental number line.Interestingly,when humans see the
symbol "0",brain scans show activation in areas also responsible for perceiving physical emptiness.These
findings imply that our understanding of zero may be rooted in the brain's mechanisms for detecting absence-
not presence.
This connection between zero and absence raises deeper questions about how our minds process"nothing"
In daily life,we're much better at noticing what's there than what's missing.For example,spotting extra letters in
a sentence is easier than noticing missing ones.Yet absence still matters:a friend who doesn't show up,a puzzle
piece that's gone.This kind of awareness demands more cognitive effort and may rely on the same brain
systems that process zero.In this way,the once-feared idea of zero may help us explore not just mathematics-
but the nature of consciousness itself.
46.How did zero eventually gain acceptance in Europe after facing initial resistance?

(社会热点)Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your 16 , but how you get back up after being 17 . Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and it was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had 18 the lower half of his body. Even if he were to 19 , he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die 20 did he want to be lame. Much to the 21 of the doctor, he did survive. But 22 from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just 23 there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was 24 . At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a 25 to move around. One day, he 26 himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, 27 his legs behind him. He reached the fence,raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence firmly 28 . He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk 29 . With his 30 determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the 31 team.
In February 1934, in New York City' s Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not 32 to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run — this determined young man Dr.Glenn Cunningham, ran the world' s fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in one's self, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an 33 for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are 34 one, to the degree that death seemed the 35 option.

On a sunny Sunday morning, I went to my first ballet class. But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on Stage, a rare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class. I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’re made.
Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. While watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝) with complete control was calming, watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn’t follow, and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class. I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort.
As I headed home, I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life. So much has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them.
With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay.
Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it.
41.Which statement accurately describes the ballet class mentioned in the passage?
A.The writer actively took part in dancing.
B.The dancers didn’t look exhausted despite the physicality.
C.The warm-up session lasted only 45 minutes that morning.
D.The writer could follow the directions throughout the session.
42.How did the author feel when the ballet class ended?
A.She was amazed by how hard the dancers worked.
B.She regretted not putting more effort into ballet.
C.She believed she could face life’s difficulties better.
D.She felt embarrassed about her own lack of determination.
43.By mentioning the technology that has made life easier, the writer means that ________.
A.Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks
B.Using technology helps improve work efficiency
C.A simple life requires rejecting modern tools
D.Technology’s convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges
44.What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson?
A.Fitness classes build both body and mind strength.
B.We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement.
C.Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them.
D.Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves.
45.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Fitness classes are of no significance.
B.Only through taking part in ballet can one truly change.
C.Observing others’ commitment can inspire personal growth.
D.Fitness classes are essential for everyone’s life improvement.
C
Zero has had an amazing journey through history. Ancient Greek thinkers like Aristotle didn’t believe zero could exist — they thought “nothing” wasn’t a real concept. Meanwhile in India, mathematicians were already using zero as a real number. Surprisingly, Europe was very slow to accept zero — for hundreds of years, many Europeans thought it was dangerous or even evil! It was only when businesses started using zero in their accounting systems that people finally saw how useful it could be. Later, zero became essential for important scientific discoveries like calculus (微积分).
Why was zero so controversial? The answer lies in how we think. Numbers like 1,2, or 3 are easy because we can see and count one apple, two dogs, three books. But zero represents nothing at all, which makes it harder to understand. As one philosopher joked, “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish!” Even children find zero confusing. Scientists have found that babies can notice simple math errors (like 2+1=4), but they don’t react when things completely disappear (like 2-2=0). This shows that understanding zero requires abstract thinking.
But is this difficulty just a matter of learning — or does it reflect something deeper in our brain’s design? Scientists have discovered special brain cells that only respond to “nothing” — they call these“zero neurons”. Some of these cells only activate (激活) when there’s truly nothing there, while others respond in order — strongest for zero, then less for one, even less for two, and so on. This suggests that our brains treat zero as a unique concept and may place it at the very start of our mental number line. Interestingly, when humans see the symbol “0”, brain scans show activation in areas also responsible for perceiving physical emptiness. These findings imply that our understanding of zero may be rooted in the brain’s mechanisms for detecting absence — not presence.
This connection between zero and absence raises deeper questions about how our minds process “nothing”. In daily life, we’re much better at noticing what’s there than what’s missing. For example, spotting extra letters in a sentence is easier than noticing missing ones. Yet absence still matters: a friend who doesn’t show up, a puzzle piece that’s gone. This kind of awareness demands more cognitive (认知的) effort and may rely on the same brain systems that process zero. In this way, the once-feared idea of zero may help us explore not just mathematics — but the nature of consciousness itself.
46.How did zero eventually gain acceptance in Europe after facing initial resistance?
A.Through theoretical arguments by mathematicians.
B.By proving its practical value in business accounting.
C.Through formal recognition by some religious leaders.
D.By showing its necessity for scientific discoveries.
47.Why does the author mention “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish” in Paragraph 2?
A.To explain how businesses refused to use zero.
B.To demonstrate the difficulty in understanding zero.
C.To highlight cultural differences in understanding numbers.
D.To show the humor in abstract philosophical debate.
48.The term “zero neurons” in Paragraph 3 might refer to ______.
A.special cells that activate only for nothingness
B.brain cells that respond to numbers equally
C.neurons responsible for counting objects
D.cells that process mathematical symbols
49.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Mathematics is the key to understanding the mind.
B.Consciousness studies will replace mathematical models.
C.The brain normally avoids processing things that are not present.
D.Studying zero may uncover deeper truths about human awareness.
50.Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.The Mathematical Evolution B.How Brain Processes Mathematics
C.Zero’s Journey Through Human Brain D.A Scientific Study of Children
D
(新题材)Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email! (You sent it 15 minutes ago.)
Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said
Sorry you just rammed (冲撞) into me with your grocery-store cart.
Apology is everywhere in conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately crying “my fault” for all manner of things we really should’t be sorry for-and diluting (稀释) the apologies that truly matter. Is it time to stop? Could we even cut back if we wanted to?
“Sorry” has lost its meaning, she realized, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (燠悔) but a knee-jerk (下意识的) response. Now, faced with the blinking cursor (光标) of a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry.
“Don’t give away your power,” suggests Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business and author of a book about commanding authority at work. Apologizing in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble, he says. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Groveling (卑躬屈膝) and exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only make you look weak and sink team morale (士气).
“Always feeling like you need to say ‘sorry’ makes you kind of feel like crap,” says Jen Fisher, the chief well-being officer for Deloitte. Last year, she logged her own apologies, flagging the ones that felt unnecessary and replacing them with expressions of gratitude.
Have to move a meeting? Try, “I appreciate your flexibility,” or “I’m grateful for your understanding,” she says. Remember that it’s not your responsibility to apologize for things out of your control, such as the weather or a client moving a deadline. Putting “sorry” on loop (循环,环状) waters down the moments when you really do need to show remorse, she adds.
And of course, people often employ “sorry” to mean exactly the opposite, more a passive-aggressive insult (冒犯) than real regret.
Be aware of how others respond when you use words of contrition (忏悔), Dr. Tannen cautions. If colleagues call out your apologizing, you might explain that you were just saying you were sorry a thing happened, and not sorry sorry.
Kingston Vickers tried. After moving to Texas years ago, the native Canadian resolved to remove the “ehs” and “sorrys” from his vocabulary. Doing so consumed so much mental effort that he grew nervous when talking and wasn’t as effective at his sales job. Now he embraces his tendency, and says his work has benefited.
51.Which of the following is not a disadvantage of always wanting to apologize?
A.It may weaken the power of true apologies.
B.The people you apologize to may ask for more.
C.It makes it easy for people to look down on you.
D.It can do harm to the people you work with in business.
52.What suggestion does Jen Fisher give about making apologies?
A.Try putting sorry on loops. B.Avoid apologies as many as possible.
C.Express more appreciation than apologies. D.Only apologize for things out of your control.

C.We should avoid making apologies in business world to avoid being exploited.
D.Sorry has lost its meaning so we should choose other words to express our regret.

(社会热点)Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your 16 , but how you get back up after being 17 . Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and it was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had 18 the lower half of his body. Even if he were to 19 , he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die 20 did he want to be lame. Much to the 21 of the doctor, he did survive. But 22 from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just 23 there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was 24 . At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a 25 to move around. One day, he 26 himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, 27 his legs behind him. He reached the fence,raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence firmly 28 . He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk 29 . With his 30 determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the 31 team.
In February 1934, in New York City' s Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not 32 to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run — this determined young man Dr.Glenn Cunningham, ran the world' s fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in one's self, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an 33 for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are 34 one, to the degree that death seemed the 35 option.

On a sunny Sunday morning, I went to my first ballet class. But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on Stage, a rare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class. I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’re made.
Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. While watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝) with complete control was calming, watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn’t follow, and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class. I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort.
As I headed home, I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life. So much has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them.
With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay.
Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it.
41.Which statement accurately describes the ballet class mentioned in the passage?
A.The writer actively took part in dancing.
B.The dancers didn’t look exhausted despite the physicality.
C.The warm-up session lasted only 45 minutes that morning.
D.The writer could follow the directions throughout the session.
42.How did the author feel when the ballet class ended?
A.She was amazed by how hard the dancers worked.
B.She regretted not putting more effort into ballet.
C.She believed she could face life’s difficulties better.
D.She felt embarrassed about her own lack of determination.
43.By mentioning the technology that has made life easier, the writer means that ________.
A.Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks
B.Using technology helps improve work efficiency
C.A simple life requires rejecting modern tools
D.Technology’s convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges
44.What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson?
A.Fitness classes build both body and mind strength.
B.We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement.
C.Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them.
D.Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves.
45.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Fitness classes are of no significance.
B.Only through taking part in ballet can one truly change.
C.Observing others’ commitment can inspire personal growth.
D.Fitness classes are essential for everyone’s life improvement.
C
Zero has had an amazing journey through history. Ancient Greek thinkers like Aristotle didn’t believe zero could exist — they thought “nothing” wasn’t a real concept. Meanwhile in India, mathematicians were already using zero as a real number. Surprisingly, Europe was very slow to accept zero — for hundreds of years, many Europeans thought it was dangerous or even evil! It was only when businesses started using zero in their accounting systems that people finally saw how useful it could be. Later, zero became essential for important scientific discoveries like calculus (微积分).
Why was zero so controversial? The answer lies in how we think. Numbers like 1,2, or 3 are easy because we can see and count one apple, two dogs, three books. But zero represents nothing at all, which makes it harder to understand. As one philosopher joked, “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish!” Even children find zero confusing. Scientists have found that babies can notice simple math errors (like 2+1=4), but they don’t react when things completely disappear (like 2-2=0). This shows that understanding zero requires abstract thinking.
But is this difficulty just a matter of learning — or does it reflect something deeper in our brain’s design? Scientists have discovered special brain cells that only respond to “nothing” — they call these“zero neurons”. Some of these cells only activate (激活) when there’s truly nothing there, while others respond in order — strongest for zero, then less for one, even less for two, and so on. This suggests that our brains treat zero as a unique concept and may place it at the very start of our mental number line. Interestingly, when humans see the symbol “0”, brain scans show activation in areas also responsible for perceiving physical emptiness. These findings imply that our understanding of zero may be rooted in the brain’s mechanisms for detecting absence — not presence.
This connection between zero and absence raises deeper questions about how our minds process “nothing”. In daily life, we’re much better at noticing what’s there than what’s missing. For example, spotting extra letters in a sentence is easier than noticing missing ones. Yet absence still matters: a friend who doesn’t show up, a puzzle piece that’s gone. This kind of awareness demands more cognitive (认知的) effort and may rely on the same brain systems that process zero. In this way, the once-feared idea of zero may help us explore not just mathematics — but the nature of consciousness itself.
46.How did zero eventually gain acceptance in Europe after facing initial resistance?
A.Through theoretical arguments by mathematicians.
B.By proving its practical value in business accounting.
C.Through formal recognition by some religious leaders.
D.By showing its necessity for scientific discoveries.
47.Why does the author mention “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish” in Paragraph 2?
A.To explain how businesses refused to use zero.
B.To demonstrate the difficulty in understanding zero.
C.To highlight cultural differences in understanding numbers.
D.To show the humor in abstract philosophical debate.
48.The term “zero neurons” in Paragraph 3 might refer to ______.
A.special cells that activate only for nothingness
B.brain cells that respond to numbers equally
C.neurons responsible for counting objects
D.cells that process mathematical symbols
49.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Mathematics is the key to understanding the mind.
B.Consciousness studies will replace mathematical models.
C.The brain normally avoids processing things that are not present.
D.Studying zero may uncover deeper truths about human awareness.
50.Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.The Mathematical Evolution B.How Brain Processes Mathematics
C.Zero’s Journey Through Human Brain D.A Scientific Study of Children
D
(新题材)Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email! (You sent it 15 minutes ago.)
Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said
Sorry you just rammed (冲撞) into me with your grocery-store cart.
Apology is everywhere in conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately crying “my fault” for all manner of things we really should’t be sorry for-and diluting (稀释) the apologies that truly matter. Is it time to stop? Could we even cut back if we wanted to?
“Sorry” has lost its meaning, she realized, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (燠悔) but a knee-jerk (下意识的) response. Now, faced with the blinking cursor (光标) of a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry.
“Don’t give away your power,” suggests Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business and author of a book about commanding authority at work. Apologizing in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble, he says. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Groveling (卑躬屈膝) and exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only make you look weak and sink team morale (士气).
“Always feeling like you need to say ‘sorry’ makes you kind of feel like crap,” says Jen Fisher, the chief well-being officer for Deloitte. Last year, she logged her own apologies, flagging the ones that felt unnecessary and replacing them with expressions of gratitude.
Have to move a meeting? Try, “I appreciate your flexibility,” or “I’m grateful for your understanding,” she says. Remember that it’s not your responsibility to apologize for things out of your control, such as the weather or a client moving a deadline. Putting “sorry” on loop (循环,环状) waters down the moments when you really do need to show remorse, she adds.
And of course, people often employ “sorry” to mean exactly the opposite, more a passive-aggressive insult (冒犯) than real regret.
Be aware of how others respond when you use words of contrition (忏悔), Dr. Tannen cautions. If colleagues call out your apologizing, you might explain that you were just saying you were sorry a thing happened, and not sorry sorry.
Kingston Vickers tried. After moving to Texas years ago, the native Canadian resolved to remove the “ehs” and “sorrys” from his vocabulary. Doing so consumed so much mental effort that he grew nervous when talking and wasn’t as effective at his sales job. Now he embraces his tendency, and says his work has benefited.
51.Which of the following is not a disadvantage of always wanting to apologize?
A.It may weaken the power of true apologies.
B.The people you apologize to may ask for more.
C.It makes it easy for people to look down on you.
D.It can do harm to the people you work with in business.
52.What suggestion does Jen Fisher give about making apologies?
A.Try putting sorry on loops. B.Avoid apologies as many as possible.
C.Express more appreciation than apologies. D.Only apologize for things out of your control.
53.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Making apologies too much can be harmful to us mentally and physically.
B.Sometimes when people say they are sorry they do not genuinely mean that.
C.We should avoid making apologies in business world to avoid being exploited.
D.Sorry has lost its meaning so we should choose other words to express our regret.
54.What can we infer from the example of Kingston Vickers?
A.Natural communication style can enhance job performance.
B.Apologizing is an important part of Canadian culture.
C.Adapting to a new communication style is always beneficial for work.
D.Trying to stop apologizing is a waste of time and energy.
55.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.We should stop using the word “sorry” in our daily conversations.
B.The overuse and misuse of the word “sorry” in conversations and communications.
C.People from different cultures have different attitudes towards apologizing.
D.There are better ways to express remorse than just saying “sorry”.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish.
She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.
My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.
About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions.
In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ”
“Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”
“Try what? ”
“Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”
Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said.
56.What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 2 words)
57.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words)
58.Why did the author’s grandmother recycle the same answers to his questions? (no more than 10 words)
59.How can people be successful in old age according to the author’s grandmother? (no more than 10 words)
60.In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life? (no more than 20 words)

(社会热点)Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your 16 , but how you get back up after being 17 . Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and it was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had 18 the lower half of his body. Even if he were to 19 , he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die 20 did he want to be lame. Much to the 21 of the doctor, he did survive. But 22 from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just 23 there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was 24 . At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a 25 to move around. One day, he 26 himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, 27 his legs behind him. He reached the fence,raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence firmly 28 . He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk 29 . With his 30 determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the 31 team.
In February 1934, in New York City' s Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not 32 to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run — this determined young man Dr.Glenn Cunningham, ran the world' s fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in one's self, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an 33 for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are 34 one, to the degree that death seemed the 35 option.

On a sunny Sunday morning, I went to my first ballet class. But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on Stage, a rare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class. I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’re made.
Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. While watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝) with complete control was calming, watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn’t follow, and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class. I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort.
As I headed home, I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life. So much has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them.
With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay.
Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it.
41.Which statement accurately describes the ballet class mentioned in the passage?
A.The writer actively took part in dancing.
B.The dancers didn’t look exhausted despite the physicality.
C.The warm-up session lasted only 45 minutes that morning.
D.The writer could follow the directions throughout the session.
42.How did the author feel when the ballet class ended?
A.She was amazed by how hard the dancers worked.
B.She regretted not putting more effort into ballet.
C.She believed she could face life’s difficulties better.
D.She felt embarrassed about her own lack of determination.
43.By mentioning the technology that has made life easier, the writer means that ________.
A.Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks
B.Using technology helps improve work efficiency
C.A simple life requires rejecting modern tools
D.Technology’s convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges
44.What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson?
A.Fitness classes build both body and mind strength.
B.We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement.
C.Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them.
D.Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves.
45.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Fitness classes are of no significance.
B.Only through taking part in ballet can one truly change.
C.Observing others’ commitment can inspire personal growth.
D.Fitness classes are essential for everyone’s life improvement.

41.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired.(上课四十五分钟后,舞者们甚至看起来都不累)”可知,尽管训练强度大,舞者们看起来并不疲惫。故选B。
42.细节理解题。根据第二段中“They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort.(他们这一天已经取得了如此多的成就,我感到完全敬畏,不仅是因为我的不足,也是因为他们的努力)”可知,芭蕾舞课结束时,作者对舞者们的努力感到惊叹。故选A。
43.推理判断题。 根据第三段中“So much has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges.(科技让很多事情变得更容易:我可以随时听我想听的任何歌曲。我几乎可以让任何东西送货上门。我可以和朋友们保持联系,而不用花时间去见他们。但与其走捷径,也许我应该寻找挑战)”可推知,作者提到科技让生活变得更轻松,是为了说明科技的便利可能会减少人们寻求挑战的动力。故选D。
44.推理判断题。 根据第三段中“But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them.(但与其走捷径,也许我应该寻找挑战。因为一旦你开始做有挑战性的事情,它们就会变得更容易,然后你就会知道自己能做到)”以及第四段中“With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay.(芭蕾舞者的决心和纪律仍然清晰地印在我的脑海里,我决心做一些困难的事情:我重新养成了练习一门我一直想学的语言的习惯。我举更重的重量。我走楼梯。我写论文)”可推知,作者从她的第一节芭蕾课中学到了我们应该强迫自己去寻求挑战以实现自我提升。故选B。
45.推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it.(他们激励了我。所以,我想说的是,有时候一节健身课可以改变你的生活,即使你不是那个参加课程的人)”可推知,从最后一段我们可以学到观察他人的投入可以激发个人成长。故选C。

Zero has had an amazing journey through history. Ancient Greek thinkers like Aristotle didn’t believe zero could exist — they thought “nothing” wasn’t a real concept. Meanwhile in India, mathematicians were already using zero as a real number. Surprisingly, Europe was very slow to accept zero — for hundreds of years, many Europeans thought it was dangerous or even evil! It was only when businesses started using zero in their accounting systems that people finally saw how useful it could be. Later, zero became essential for important scientific discoveries like calculus (微积分).
Why was zero so controversial? The answer lies in how we think. Numbers like 1,2, or 3 are easy because we can see and count one apple, two dogs, three books. But zero represents nothing at all, which makes it harder to understand. As one philosopher joked, “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish!” Even children find zero confusing. Scientists have found that babies can notice simple math errors (like 2+1=4), but they don’t react when things completely disappear (like 2-2=0). This shows that understanding zero requires abstract thinking.
But is this difficulty just a matter of learning — or does it reflect something deeper in our brain’s design? Scientists have discovered special brain cells that only respond to “nothing” — they call these“zero neurons”. Some of these cells only activate (激活) when there’s truly nothing there, while others respond in order — strongest for zero, then less for one, even less for two, and so on. This suggests that our brains treat zero as a unique concept and may place it at the very start of our mental number line. Interestingly, when humans see the symbol “0”, brain scans show activation in areas also responsible for perceiving physical emptiness. These findings imply that our understanding of zero may be rooted in the brain’s mechanisms for detecting absence — not presence.
This connection between zero and absence raises deeper questions about how our minds process “nothing”. In daily life, we’re much better at noticing what’s there than what’s missing. For example, spotting extra letters in a sentence is easier than noticing missing ones. Yet absence still matters: a friend who doesn’t show up, a puzzle piece that’s gone. This kind of awareness demands more cognitive (认知的) effort and may rely on the same brain systems that process zero. In this way, the once-feared idea of zero may help us explore not just mathematics — but the nature of consciousness itself.
46.How did zero eventually gain acceptance in Europe after facing initial resistance?
A.Through theoretical arguments by mathematicians.
B.By proving its practical value in business accounting.
C.Through formal recognition by some religious leaders.
D.By showing its necessity for scientific discoveries.
47.Why does the author mention “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish” in Paragraph 2?
A.To explain how businesses refused to use zero.
B.To demonstrate the difficulty in understanding zero.
C.To highlight cultural differences in understanding numbers.
D.To show the humor in abstract philosophical debate.
48.The term “zero neurons” in Paragraph 3 might refer to ______.
A.special cells that activate only for nothingness
B.brain cells that respond to numbers equally
C.neurons responsible for counting objects
D.cells that process mathematical symbols
49.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Mathematics is the key to understanding the mind.
B.Consciousness studies will replace mathematical models.
C.The brain normally avoids processing things that are not present.
D.Studying zero may uncover deeper truths about human awareness.
50.Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.The Mathematical Evolution B.How Brain Processes Mathematics
C.Zero’s Journey Through Human Brain D.A Scientific Study of Children

46.细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was only when businesses started using zero in their accounting systems that people finally saw how useful it could be. (直到企业开始在会计系统中使用零,人们才终于意识到它的有用性。)”可知,“零”通过证明其在商业会计中的实用价值,最终在欧洲获得了认可。故选B。
47.推理判断题。根据第二段中“But zero represents nothing at all, which makes it harder to understand. As one philosopher joked, “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish!” (但零代表什么都没有,这使得它更难理解。正如一位哲学家开玩笑说的:“没人会去商店买零条鱼!”)”可知,作者提到“没人会去商店买零条鱼”是为了证明理解零的困难性。故选B。
48.词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Scientists have discovered special brain cells that only respond to “nothing”—they call these “zero neurons”. (科学家们发现了一种特殊的大脑细胞,它们只对“无”做出反应——他们称之为“zero neurons”。)”可知,“zero neurons”一词指的是只对虚无起反应的特殊细胞。故选A。
49.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In this way, the once-feared idea of zero may help us explore not just mathematics—but the nature of consciousness itself. (这样,曾经令人恐惧的零的概念可能不仅能帮助我们探索数学,还能帮助我们探索意识本身的本质。)”可知,研究零可能会揭示关于人类意识的更深层次真相。故选D。
50.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Zero has had an amazing journey through history. (零在历史上经历了一段奇妙的旅程。)”以及下文具体介绍零从被质疑到被接受,以及它在人类认知和大脑处理机制中的重要性可知,C选项“Zero’s Journey Through Human Brain (零在人类大脑中的旅程)”最符合文章标题。故选C。
D
(新题材)Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email! (You sent it 15 minutes ago.)
Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said
Sorry you just rammed (冲撞) into me with your grocery-store cart.
Apology is everywhere in conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately crying “my fault” for all manner of things we really should’t be sorry for-and diluting (稀释) the apologies that truly matter. Is it time to stop? Could we even cut back if we wanted to?
“Sorry” has lost its meaning, she realized, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (燠悔) but a knee-jerk (下意识的) response. Now, faced with the blinking cursor (光标) of a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry.
“Don’t give away your power,” suggests Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business and author of a book about commanding authority at work. Apologizing in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble, he says. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Groveling (卑躬屈膝) and exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only make you look weak and sink team morale (士气).
“Always feeling like you need to say ‘sorry’ makes you kind of feel like crap,” says Jen Fisher, the chief well-being officer for Deloitte. Last year, she logged her own apologies, flagging the ones that felt unnecessary and replacing them with expressions of gratitude.
Have to move a meeting? Try, “I appreciate your flexibility,” or “I’m grateful for your understanding,” she says. Remember that it’s not your responsibility to apologize for things out of your control, such as the weather or a client moving a deadline. Putting “sorry” on loop (循环,环状) waters down the moments when you really do need to show remorse, she adds.
And of course, people often employ “sorry” to mean exactly the opposite, more a passive-aggressive insult (冒犯) than real regret.
Be aware of how others respond when you use words of contrition (忏悔), Dr. Tannen cautions. If colleagues call out your apologizing, you might explain that you were just saying you were sorry a thing happened, and not sorry sorry.
Kingston Vickers tried. After moving to Texas years ago, the native Canadian resolved to remove the “ehs” and “sorrys” from his vocabulary. Doing so consumed so much mental effort that he grew nervous when talking and wasn’t as effective at his sales job. Now he embraces his tendency, and says his work has benefited.
51.Which of the following is not a disadvantage of always wanting to apologize?
A.It may weaken the power of true apologies.
B.The people you apologize to may ask for more.
C.It makes it easy for people to look down on you.
D.It can do harm to the people you work with in business.
52.What suggestion does Jen Fisher give about making apologies?
A.Try putting sorry on loops. B.Avoid apologies as many as possible.
C.Express more appreciation than apologies. D.Only apologize for things out of your control.
53.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Making apologies too much can be harmful to us mentally and physically.
B.Sometimes when people say they are sorry they do not genuinely mean that.
C.We should avoid making apologies in business world to avoid being exploited.
D.Sorry has lost its meaning so we should choose other words to express our regret.
54.What can we infer from the example of Kingston Vickers?
A.Natural communication style can enhance job performance.
B.Apologizing is an important part of Canadian culture.
C.Adapting to a new communication style is always beneficial for work.
D.Trying to stop apologizing is a waste of time and energy.
55.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.We should stop using the word “sorry” in our daily conversations.
B.The overuse and misuse of the word “sorry” in conversations and communications.
C.People from different cultures have different attitudes towards apologizing.
D.There are better ways to express remorse than just saying “sorry”.
【答案】51.D 52.C 53.B 54.A 55.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“道歉”探讨了道歉文化以及其影响,并说明了改变道歉习惯可能带来的问题。
51.推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Apologizing in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble, he says. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Groveling (卑躬屈膝) and exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only make you look weak and sink team morale (士气).(在商业活动中道歉,尤其是当你确实做了错事的时候,简直就是自找麻烦。他还补充说,人们永远不会对一次道歉感到满足。卑躬屈膝和表现出自己的脆弱只会让你显得软弱,还会打击团队士气)”可知,过度且不恰当的道歉行为对商业伙伴或团队关系的负面影响,而不是本身会直接伤害同事关系。由此可知,选项D“It can do harm to the people you work with in business.(它可能会伤害到与你共事的商业伙伴)”并不是总想道歉的直接劣势。故选D。
52.细节理解题。根据文章第四段““Always feeling like you need to say ‘sorry’ makes you kind of feel like crap,” says Jen Fisher, the chief well-being officer for Deloitte. Last year, she logged her own apologies, flagging the ones that felt unnecessary and replacing them with expressions of gratitude.(德勤公司的首席幸福官Jen Fisher说:“总是觉得自己需要说‘抱歉’会让你感觉糟透了。”去年,她记录下了自己的道歉行为,标记出那些她觉得不必要的道歉,并把它们换成了感激之词)”以及第五段“Have to move a meeting? Try, “I appreciate your flexibility,” or “I’m grateful for your understanding,” she says. Remember that it’s not your responsibility to apologize for things out of your control, such as the weather or a client moving a deadline. Putting “sorry” on loop (循环,环状) waters down the moments when you really do need to show remorse, she adds.(要是不得不更改会议时间呢?可以试着说:“感谢你的灵活性。”或者“感谢你的理解。”她说。要记住,对于那些你无法控制的事情,比如天气或者客户更改了截止日期,你没有责任去道歉。她还补充说,不停地说“抱歉”会淡化那些你真正需要表达悔意的时刻)”可知,Jen Fisher建议表达更多的感激之情而不是道歉。故选C。
53.细节理解题。根据文章第六段“And of course, people often employ “sorry” to mean exactly the opposite, more a passive-aggressive insult (冒犯) than real regret.(当然,人们经常会用“抱歉”来表达完全相反的意思,这更多的是一种带有消极攻击性的冒犯,而不是真正的懊悔)”可知,有时人们说抱歉并非真心。故选B。
54.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Kingston Vickers tried. After moving to Texas years ago, the native Canadian resolved to remove the “ehs” and “sorrys” from his vocabulary. Doing so consumed so much mental effort that he grew nervous when talking and wasn’t as effective at his sales job. Now he embraces his tendency, and says his work has benefited.( Kingston Vickers曾尝试过改变。几年前搬到得克萨斯州后,这位土生土长的加拿大人决心从自己的词汇中去掉 “呃”和“抱歉”这类词。但这样做耗费了他太多的心力,以至于他在交谈时变得紧张不安,做销售工作时也没有那么高效了。现在,他接受了自己的这种习惯,并且说他的工作因此受益了)”可知,Kingston Vickers试图改变道歉习惯却导致工作表现下降,而恢复自然沟通方式后工作受益,由此推断自然的沟通风格能提升工作表现。故选A。
55.主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇通过列举生活中频繁道歉的场景,引出“道歉在对话和交流中无处不在,我们常为不应抱歉之事随意道歉,稀释了真正重要的道歉”这一话题。接着,阐述了“抱歉”一词失去原本意义,变成下意识反应的现象,还引用不同人的观点说明过度道歉的弊端,如在商业中可能带来麻烦、让人感觉糟糕等,同时提到人们有时用 “抱歉”表达相反意思。最后通过Kingston Vickers的例子进一步说明改变道歉习惯可能带来的问题。因此,文章的主要观点是在对话和交流中“抱歉”一词的过度使用和误用。故选B。
第二部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish.
She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.
My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.
About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions.
In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ”
“Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”
“Try what? ”
“Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”
Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said.
56.What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 2 words)
57.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words)
58.Why did the author’s grandmother recycle the same answers to his questions? (no more than 10 words)
59.How can people be successful in old age according to the author’s grandmother? (no more than 10 words)
60.In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life? (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56.Remembering./Thinking of. /Thinking about. /Missing. 57.My grandmother has/ had a rich life experience./My grandmother has gone through a lot. /My grandmother is/was an extraordinary woman. 58.Because she began to lose her hearing. /Because she could not hear clearly. 59.They should remain active in old age./By trying different things. /They should try doing things. 60.We can help old people to learn new skills so that they can keep pace with society./They can visit their grandparents more often and spend time with them.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者与祖母之间的日常交流,重点描绘了祖母积极向上、勇于尝试的生活态度,并表达了年龄不是限制、世界充满可能性的主旨。
56.考查词义猜测。根据第二段划线词前面的内容“She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” (她经常问我这个问题,我总是这样回答——“为了让爷爷回来。”)”以及划线词后的内容“Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.(他们67年的共同生活总是让她微笑。)”可知,作者总是以同样的方式来回答:让爷爷回来,一提到这就会让奶奶想起了和爷爷在一起的时光,这些时光总是让奶奶微笑。故划线词意为“想起,记起来,想念”。故答案为Remembering./Thinking of./ Thinking about. /Missing.
57.考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.(我祖母出生在爱尔兰。在她十几岁的时候,她搬到了英国的一个贫穷的村庄。28岁时,我的祖母在雪地里步行生下了她的第一个孩子。50岁时,她在一次紧急手术中幸存下来。60多岁时,她饱受关节炎之苦,但仍成功攀登了威尔士最高峰斯诺登峰。)”可知,本段主要介绍了奶奶的生活经历描述了奶奶具有丰富的人生经历,她是一位非凡的女性。故答案为My grandmother has/had a rich life experience./My grandmother has gone through a lot./My grandmother is/was an extraordinary woman.
58.考查细节理解。根据第四段中“About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ”(大约十年前,我注意到她的听力开始下降。如果我问她午餐吃了什么,她可能会说:“哦,今天天气真好。”)”可知,作者注意到祖母十年前开始失去听力,所以当作者问她午饭吃了什么时,她可能会说“哦,今天天气真好。”,这说明她无法听清作者的问题,因此会用同样的几个答案来回答作者的问题。故答案为Because she began to lose her hearing./Because she could not hear clearly.
59.考查细节理解。根据第六段中““Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”(“哦,Richard,很多人60岁就老了。他们只想整天坐着。你这样活不到90岁的。你必须尝试。”)”以及第八段““Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”(“试试走路,”她说。“试试园艺。试着做饭。尝试并不需要很多尝试。就尝一点。比如,你给我们煮的咖啡。我知道你尽力了。”)”可知,作者祖母认为人要想在老年时成功,就要不断尝试。故答案为They should remain active in old age./By trying different things./ They should try doing things.
60.开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,回答合理即可。根据问题内容“In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life? (在你看来,年轻人能做些什么来提高老年人的生活质量?)”可知,本人认为:我们可以帮助老年人学习新的技能,使他们能够跟上社会的步伐。或者他们可以更经常地看望他们的祖父母,花时间和他们在一起。故答案为We can help old people to learn new skills so that they can keep pace with society./They can visit their grandparents more often and spend time with them.
