On Maple Street, Mr. Henderson’s house was an island of quiet in a sea of change. While new buildings sprang up around him, his small, weathered workshop stood unchanged, its window displaying a single, delicate kite each season.
To the neighborhood children, Mr. Henderson was a figure of mystery. He spoke little, his hands perpetually stained with vibrant pigments and the scent of bamboo and glue always about him. His kites weren’t the plastic toys from supermarkets; they were creations of silk and slender wood-swallows with forked tails that seemed ready to dive, dragons with scales painted in fading gold, and geometric patterns that whispered of ancient winds.
My interest was aroused at age ten. One breezy April afternoon, I gathered my courage to tap on his door, not to buy, but to ask, “How do you make them fly so high?” He looked at me, not with the impatience adults often show children, but with a considering gaze. “Come in,” he said, his voice like rustling paper.
That began my apprenticeship (学徒期). Saturdays were for selecting bamboo, weighing flexibility against strength. He taught me to split the wood into strands thinner than a pencil, yet resilient. “The frame must be a skeleton that dances with the wind, not fights it,” he explained. We stretched silk, painting it with careful strokes. The most profound lesson, however, was about balance. He would hang the nearly finished kite from a string tied to its spine, adjusting the bridle-the critical set of strings connecting kite to flying line-by millimeters. “A kite’s soul is in its balance,” he said. “Too much weight here, it struggles. Too little there, it spins. It must find its harmony with an invisible force.”
Years passed. I grew up, and Saturdays were claimed by exams, then college, then a busy job in the city. Mr. Henderson grew older, his hands less steady. The kites in his window appeared less frequently.
Last spring, I returned to Maple Street for a visit. The city’s noise felt alien. On impulse, I walked to the old workshop. The window was empty. My heart sank. But as I turned to leave, I saw a familiar shape in the park nearby-a boy of about ten, guiding a magnificent swallow-shaped kite high in the sky. Its flight was flawless, a steady dance against the blue. Running to hold the string was an older boy I recognized as the neighbor’s grandson, his face alight with joy.
I smiled, understanding. The workshop was silent, the window bare, but the kite was still flying. The balance had been passed on, an art of patience and harmony carried on the wind to a new pair of hands.
4. What was distinctive about Mr. Henderson’s kites compared to common ones?
A. They were made of plastic and cheap materials.
B. They were mass-produced and sold in supermarkets.
C. They were modern in design and featured electronic components.
D. They were delicate creations of traditional materials and artistry.
5. What was the most significant lesson the narrator learned from Mr. Henderson?
A. The history of different kite shapes.
B. The principle of balance crucial for flight.
C. The commercial value of handmade crafts.
D. The technique of painting vibrant colors on silk.
6. Why did the narrator’s heart sink when he saw the empty window?
A. He feared Mr. Henderson’s art had vanished.
B. He was disappointed that he couldn’t buy a kite.
C. He thought the workshop had been demolished.
D. He regretted not visiting Mr. Henderson sooner.
7. What is the main message conveyed in the story?
A. Technology is replacing traditional hobbies.
B. Friendship between different generations is precious.
C. True artistry and wisdom can be inherited and live on.
D. Childhood memories are the most valuable possessions.

Too little there, it spins. It must find its harmony with an invisible force.’ (然而,最深刻的教训是关于平衡的。他会把几乎完成的风筝挂在绑在脊椎上的绳子上,调整连接风筝和飞行线的关键绳套——以毫米为单位。‘风筝的灵魂在于平衡,’他说。‘这里太重了,它就会挣扎。那里太轻了,它就会旋转。它必须找到与一种无形力量的和谐。’)”可知,叙述者从亨德森先生那里学到的最重要的教训是平衡对于飞行的重要性。故选B项。

Despite these exciting developments, digital storytelling also faces challenges. The sheer volume of content available online means that standing out has become increasingly difficult. Storytellers must find innovative ways to capture and retain their audience’s attention amidst the digital noise. Additionally, issues related to authenticity and misinformation can arise. With the ease of creating and sharing content, it’s crucial for storytellers to maintain integrity and for audiences to be critical consumers.

As cities around the world continue to deal with issues of congestion, pollution, and the need for more efficient transportation, innovative solutions are emerging on the horizon. One such concept that has been getting more attention is the idea of skyways and pod-cars.
Skyways, essentially elevated transportation systems, offer a potential answer to the overcrowded roads at ground level. These structures would be built above the existing urban landscape, utilizing the vertical space that is often under-utilized. By constructing skyways, cities could create dedicated lanes for different types of traffic, reducing the chances of traffic jams. For example, a skyway could be designed to carry high-occupancy vehicles, public transportation, or even freight, separate from the regular ground-level traffic.
Pod-cars, on the other hand, are small, automated vehicles that are designed to operate on these skyways. These cars are self-driving, which means they can optimize routes based on real-time traffic data. They offer a personalized form of transportation, as passengers can enter their destination and the pod-car will take them there directly, without the need for intermediate stops like traditional buses or trains. This not only saves time but also provides a more comfortable and private travel experience.
The combination of skyways and pod-cars could bring about several benefits. Environmentally, it could lead to a significant reduction in emissions. With pod-cars being electric and the efficient use of traffic flow on skyways, the overall carbon footprint of urban transportation could be minimized. Economically, it could boost the local economy. The construction of skyways and the development of pod-car technology would create jobs in various sectors, from engineering and construction to software development. Additionally, it could enhance the productivity of the workforce by reducing commuting times.
However, the implementation of this concept is not without challenges. There are significant engineering and infrastructure hurdles to overcome. Building skyways requires a large amount of capital investment, as well as careful planning to ensure they are structurally sound and integrated well with the existing urban environment. There are also concerns regarding safety. Since pod-cars are automated, any malfunction in the technology could potentially lead to accidents. Therefore, a highly reliable and redundant safety system would need to be in place.
Despite these challenges, many experts believe that the future of urban mobility lies in concepts like skyways and pod-cars. With continuous advancements in technology and a growing need for sustainable and efficient transportation solutions, these ideas may soon become a reality in cities around the world.
12. What is the main advantage of skyways?
A. They can beautify the urban landscape.
B. They can make use of under-utilized vertical space.
C. They can carry all types of vehicles at once.
D. They can reduce the cost of urban transportation.
13. What makes pod-cars different from traditional public transportation?
A. Pod-cars are not self-driving.
B. Pod-cars need intermediate stops.
C. Pod-cars offer a personalized travel experience.
D. Pod-cars are larger in size.
14. What are the challenges of implementing skyways and pod-cars?
A High capital investment and safety concerns.
B. Lack of public support and high-tech equipment.
C. Difficulty in finding suitable engineers and software developers.
D. Shortage of electric power and traffic data.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of skyways and pod-cars?
A. Pessimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.

How to Build a Strong Relationship with Your Roommate
Living with a roommate can be a great experience, but it also has the potential to be a nightmare if not managed properly. ____16____ Here are some tips to help you build a strong relationship with your roommate.
Communicate openly and honestly
Communication is key in any relationship, and the one with your roommate is no exception. ____17____ For example, if something they do bothers you, don’t let it fester inside. Instead, have an open conversation with them about it. Be respectful and use “I” statements to express how you feel. For instance, say “I feel uncomfortable when the dishes are left in the sink for too long” rather than “You always leave the dishes in the sink and it’s disgusting.”
Set clear boundaries
____18____ Decide on things like what time quiet hours start, how to share common spaces, and what to do if one of you has guests over. By setting these boundaries early on, you can avoid potential conflicts down the road. If your roommate has a different idea about a boundary, have a discussion to find a middle ground that works for both of you.
Respect each other’s belongings
Your roommate’s possessions are just as important as yours. ____19____ If you need to borrow something, always ask first. And if you accidentally damage or lose something of theirs, be honest and offer to replace it. Similarly, expect your roommate to treat your things with the same respect.
Share responsibilities
A shared living space means shared responsibilities. ____20____ Divide tasks like cleaning the bath-room taking out the trash, and grocery shopping. You can create a schedule to make sure everything gets done regularly. This not only keeps the living environment clean and comfortable but also shows that you’re both committed to making the place a nice one to live in.
Building a strong relationship with your roommate takes time and effort, but by following these tips, you can create a harmonious living situation that benefits both of you.
A. Avoid making assumptions about each other.
B. This includes respecting their personal space as well.
C. It’s important to be clear about what is acceptable and what isn’t.
D. Both of you should contribute to keeping the place clean and organized.
E. To ensure a positive living experience, it’s crucial to get along well with your roommate.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My life had changed a lot. Now I hated coming back to my bedroom after school, which ended in a mess every day thanks to my three-year-old naughty (淘气的) brother, Ted. Today was no different.
As I pushed open the front door, the familiar sounds of toys and Ted’s sudden loud laughs stormed my senses at once, showing the mess that awaited me inside.
As I entered the house, Mom called out a cheerful “Hello!” and gave me a big hug. It seemed like nothing was wrong. She asked me how my day had been, if I had any homework — blah, blah, I answered absent-mindedly.
I looked around and saw toys left behind all over the living room floor — various animals, building blocks, and even one of Ted’s favorite racing cars had been left in the middle of the hallway. Clothes that should have been in his room or the washing machine were put here and there, creating difficulties for anyone trying to walk through. It was a disaster (灾难) area, just like any other day when I returned home.
I knew Ted was watching TV as I heard the familiar theme song of his favorite cartoon playing loudly from the family room. The volume was turned up so high that I could hardly hear Mom’s voice. I felt sad, already expecting the headache that would come from trying to focus on my homework through the noise.
I started climbing upstairs to my bedroom, thinking to myself, “What is it going to be like today? Clean and tidy? Or dirty and messy?” I wished, of course, that my bedroom would stay clean and orderly for once.
My door was still closed, which was a good sign. Maybe Ted hadn’t been in here today. Maybe Mom had been able to keep him out. I was so hopeful that I breathed a sigh of relief (放松) as I went to my room, praying to God it had been free from Ted’s latest adventure.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I pushed open the door and became angry right away.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ted’s face lit up the moment he caught sight of me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I pushed open the door and became angry right away. My once-tidy bedroom was now a complete mess, just like the living room. Papers were scattered all over the floor, and my books were piled up in a disorganized way on my bed. What made me even angrier was that my favorite model car, which I had spent weeks building, was broken into pieces on the desk. It was clear that Ted had been in here and had made this chaos.
Ted’s face lit up the moment he caught sight of me. He jumped off the bed and ran towards me, shouting, “Brother, look what I did!” I wanted to scold him, but when I saw his innocent and excited eyes, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I knew that he was just a three-year-old kid who didn’t understand the concept of keeping things tidy. So, I took a deep breath and decided to teach him how to clean up the mess together, hoping that he would learn and my bedroom could be clean again.

On Maple Street, Mr. Henderson’s house was an island of quiet in a sea of change. While new buildings sprang up around him, his small, weathered workshop stood unchanged, its window displaying a single, delicate kite each season.
To the neighborhood children, Mr. Henderson was a figure of mystery. He spoke little, his hands perpetually stained with vibrant pigments and the scent of bamboo and glue always about him. His kites weren’t the plastic toys from supermarkets; they were creations of silk and slender wood-swallows with forked tails that seemed ready to dive, dragons with scales painted in fading gold, and geometric patterns that whispered of ancient winds.
My interest was aroused at age ten. One breezy April afternoon, I gathered my courage to tap on his door, not to buy, but to ask, “How do you make them fly so high?” He looked at me, not with the impatience adults often show children, but with a considering gaze. “Come in,” he said, his voice like rustling paper.
That began my apprenticeship (学徒期). Saturdays were for selecting bamboo, weighing flexibility against strength. He taught me to split the wood into strands thinner than a pencil, yet resilient. “The frame must be a skeleton that dances with the wind, not fights it,” he explained. We stretched silk, painting it with careful strokes. The most profound lesson, however, was about balance. He would hang the nearly finished kite from a string tied to its spine, adjusting the bridle-the critical set of strings connecting kite to flying line-by millimeters. “A kite’s soul is in its balance,” he said. “Too much weight here, it struggles. Too little there, it spins. It must find its harmony with an invisible force.”
Years passed. I grew up, and Saturdays were claimed by exams, then college, then a busy job in the city. Mr. Henderson grew older, his hands less steady. The kites in his window appeared less frequently.
Last spring, I returned to Maple Street for a visit. The city’s noise felt alien. On impulse, I walked to the old workshop. The window was empty. My heart sank. But as I turned to leave, I saw a familiar shape in the park nearby-a boy of about ten, guiding a magnificent swallow-shaped kite high in the sky. Its flight was flawless, a steady dance against the blue. Running to hold the string was an older boy I recognized as the neighbor’s grandson, his face alight with joy.
I smiled, understanding. The workshop was silent, the window bare, but the kite was still flying. The balance had been passed on, an art of patience and harmony carried on the wind to a new pair of hands.
4. What was distinctive about Mr. Henderson’s kites compared to common ones?
A. They were made of plastic and cheap materials.
B. They were mass-produced and sold in supermarkets.
C. They were modern in design and featured electronic components.
D. They were delicate creations of traditional materials and artistry.
5. What was the most significant lesson the narrator learned from Mr. Henderson?

B. The principle of balance crucial for flight.
C. The commercial value of handmade crafts.

B. He was disappointed that he couldn’t buy a kite.
C. He thought the workshop had been demolished.
D. He regretted not visiting Mr. Henderson sooner.

In an era saturated with digital content, the age-old art of storytelling has undergone a profound transformation. Once primarily passed down through oral traditions or committed to the pages of books, storytelling has now embraced the vast possibilities offered by digital platforms, reaching audiences in ways never before imaginable.
Online platforms have made storytelling accessible to all. No longer are the gates to the storytelling field guarded only by established publishers or media giants. Now, anyone with a unique story and an internet connection can share their narrative with the world. Blogs, vlogs, podcasts, and social media have become the new spaces where stories play out. For instance, a young blogger from a small town can document their daily life, struggles, and triumphs, attracting a global following that connects with their sincerity and relatability.
Digital storytelling also offers unparalleled opportunities for interactivity. Traditional forms of storytelling, such as novels or films, typically present a one-way communication from the storyteller to the audience. In the digital space, however, audiences can actively engage with the story. They can leave comments, offer feedback, and even influence the direction of the story in some cases. Take, for example, choose-your-own-adventure style online games or serialized web novels where readers can vote on plot developments. This interactivity not only deepens the audience’s connection to the story but also creates a sense of co-creation.
Moreover, digital technology has enabled new forms of storytelling that blend various media. Multimedia storytelling combines elements of text, images, audio, and video to create a more immersive experience. A podcast might include sound effects and musical scores to enhance the mood, while a vlog could incorporate animations and visual effects to bring the story to life. This convergence of media not only caters to different learning and consumption styles but also adds layers of depth and complexity to the narrative.
Despite these exciting developments, digital storytelling also faces challenges. The sheer volume of content available online means that standing out has become increasingly difficult. Storytellers must find innovative ways to capture and retain their audience’s attention amidst the digital noise. Additionally, issues related to authenticity and misinformation can arise. With the ease of creating and sharing content, it’s crucial for storytellers to maintain integrity and for audiences to be critical consumers.
8. What is the main change of storytelling in the digital age?
A. It is mainly passed down orally.
B. Only professional storytellers can share stories.
C. It has been made more accessible to the public.
D. It is limited to traditional media platforms.
9. How does digital storytelling differ from traditional forms in terms of audience interaction?
A. Digital storytelling allows for two-way communication.
B. Audiences can only passively receive the story in digital storytelling.
C. Traditional storytelling encourages audience feedback.
D. There is no difference in audience interaction between the two.
10. What is an advantage of multimedia storytelling?
A. It simplifies the narrative.
B. It only uses one form of media.
C. It generates greater immersive engagement.
D. It is only suitable for certain types of stories.
11. What challenges do digital storytellers face?
A. Lack of digital tools and platforms.
B. Inability to attract any audience.
C. Rejection from traditional publishers.
D. Difficulty in standing out and issues of authenticity.
D
As cities around the world continue to deal with issues of congestion, pollution, and the need for more efficient transportation, innovative solutions are emerging on the horizon. One such concept that has been getting more attention is the idea of skyways and pod-cars.
Skyways, essentially elevated transportation systems, offer a potential answer to the overcrowded roads at ground level. These structures would be built above the existing urban landscape, utilizing the vertical space that is often under-utilized. By constructing skyways, cities could create dedicated lanes for different types of traffic, reducing the chances of traffic jams. For example, a skyway could be designed to carry high-occupancy vehicles, public transportation, or even freight, separate from the regular ground-level traffic.
Pod-cars, on the other hand, are small, automated vehicles that are designed to operate on these skyways. These cars are self-driving, which means they can optimize routes based on real-time traffic data. They offer a personalized form of transportation, as passengers can enter their destination and the pod-car will take them there directly, without the need for intermediate stops like traditional buses or trains. This not only saves time but also provides a more comfortable and private travel experience.
The combination of skyways and pod-cars could bring about several benefits. Environmentally, it could lead to a significant reduction in emissions. With pod-cars being electric and the efficient use of traffic flow on skyways, the overall carbon footprint of urban transportation could be minimized. Economically, it could boost the local economy. The construction of skyways and the development of pod-car technology would create jobs in various sectors, from engineering and construction to software development. Additionally, it could enhance the productivity of the workforce by reducing commuting times.
However, the implementation of this concept is not without challenges. There are significant engineering and infrastructure hurdles to overcome. Building skyways requires a large amount of capital investment, as well as careful planning to ensure they are structurally sound and integrated well with the existing urban environment. There are also concerns regarding safety. Since pod-cars are automated, any malfunction in the technology could potentially lead to accidents. Therefore, a highly reliable and redundant safety system would need to be in place.
Despite these challenges, many experts believe that the future of urban mobility lies in concepts like skyways and pod-cars. With continuous advancements in technology and a growing need for sustainable and efficient transportation solutions, these ideas may soon become a reality in cities around the world.
12. What is the main advantage of skyways?
A. They can beautify the urban landscape.
B They can make use of under-utilized vertical space.
C. They can carry all types of vehicles at once.
D. They can reduce the cost of urban transportation.
13. What makes pod-cars different from traditional public transportation?
A. Pod-cars are not self-driving.
B. Pod-cars need intermediate stops.
C. Pod-cars offer a personalized travel experience.
D. Pod-cars are larger in size.
14. What are the challenges of implementing skyways and pod-cars?
A. High capital investment and safety concerns.
B. Lack of public support and high-tech equipment.
C. Difficulty in finding suitable engineers and software developers.
D. Shortage of electric power and traffic data.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of skyways and pod-cars?
A. Pessimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My life had changed a lot. Now I hated coming back to my bedroom after school, which ended in a mess every day thanks to my three-year-old naughty (淘气的) brother, Ted. Today was no different.
As I pushed open the front door, the familiar sounds of toys and Ted’s sudden loud laughs stormed my senses at once, showing the mess that awaited me inside.
As I entered the house, Mom called out a cheerful “Hello!” and gave me a big hug. It seemed like nothing was wrong. She asked me how my day had been, if I had any homework — blah, blah, I answered absent-mindedly.
I looked around and saw toys left behind all over the living room floor — various animals, building blocks, and even one of Ted’s favorite racing cars had been left in the middle of the hallway. Clothes that should have been in his room or the washing machine were put here and there, creating difficulties for anyone trying to walk through. It was a disaster (灾难) area, just like any other day when I returned home.
I knew Ted was watching TV as I heard the familiar theme song of his favorite cartoon playing loudly from the family room. The volume was turned up so high that I could hardly hear Mom’s voice. I felt sad, already expecting the headache that would come from trying to focus on my homework through the noise.
I started climbing upstairs to my bedroom, thinking to myself, “What is it going to be like today? Clean and tidy? Or dirty and messy?” I wished, of course, that my bedroom would stay clean and orderly for once.
My door was still closed, which was a good sign. Maybe Ted hadn’t been in here today. Maybe Mom had been able to keep him out. I was so hopeful that I breathed a sigh of relief (放松) as I went to my room, praying to God it had been free from Ted’s latest adventure.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I pushed open the door and became angry right away.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ted’s face lit up the moment he caught sight of me.
