Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
24. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability?
A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
25. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study?
A. His mother. B. His sister.
C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
26. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta?
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
27. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story?
A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Ghunta的成长经历,特别是他从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程,展现了个人奋斗和老师的帮助对他人生路径的深刻影响。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books.(他不仅小时候被关在家里不去上学,而且也没有机会接触到书)”可知,家庭环境的原因造成了Ghunta较差的阅读能力。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.(在她的指导下,Ghunta的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。“她给我留下了识字的礼物,”他说,“以及作为人的价值。”他的生活有了新的方向)”可知,一位年轻老师的激励使Ghunta阅读水平提高,生活也有了新方向。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.(他从小学毕业时获得了许多学术奖项,其中包括“阅读进步最大”奖。他上了大学。如今,他是两本关于克服童年困难经历的儿童书籍的作者。他现在正在写他的第一部长篇诗集)”可知,第五段主要概括了Ghunta的成就。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”(Ghunta说:“我希望她能看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响,以及我如何将对她的记忆——希望和光明——带在身边,以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉。”)”结合本文叙述了Ghunta从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程。在此期间一个年轻老师的出现改变了Ghunta的人生方向,由此可见,教师的信念照亮学生成长之路。故选D。
C
Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that impact mental health, such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.
Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”
The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons,” the authors said.
The researchers found that, in both sexes, “very frequent” social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was.
But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm.
“It’s an important distinction,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.”
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of cyberbullying. B. The content of the interview.
C. The findings of the research. D. The functions of social media.
29. What did Bob Patton mainly tell us?
A. The need to fight against mental harm. B. The impact of social media use on people.
C. The benefit of limiting social media use. D. The proper way to improve mental health.
30 What can we know about the research?
A. It had shortcomings. B. It needed more attention.
C. It was the first in its field. D. It was difficult to carry out.
31. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. The research on teenage boys B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. The harm of using social media D. Social interactions are encouraged
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明,频繁地使用社交媒体会给青少年造成心理危害,尤其对女孩的危害更加明显。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that impact mental health, such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.(这项研究采访了英国的1万名青少年。“我们发现社交媒体本身并不会造成伤害,但频繁使用社交媒体可能会干扰影响心理健康的活动,比如睡眠和锻炼,同时增加年轻人接触有害内容的机会,尤其是网络欺凌,”研究报告的合著者拉塞尔·维纳在一份声明中说)”可知,第二段主要介绍了这个研究的结果。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”(萨里大学的讲师鲍勃·巴顿说,这意味着只注重减少社交媒体使用来改善心理健康的策略可能没有帮助。他说:“为了减少心理伤害,需要制定策略来提高对网络欺凌的抵御能力,促进更好的睡眠和锻炼。”)”可知,鲍勃·巴顿主要告诉了我们改善心理健康的正确方法。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study.(研究人员指出,他们没有捕捉到参与者在这些网站上花费了多少时间,这是这项研究的一个局限性)”可知,这个研究的局限在于它没有监测参与者上网的时间。由此推知,这个研究是有不足之处的。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.(社交媒体的使用与抑郁有关,尤其是在青少年中。但一项新的研究认为,这个问题可能比专家们想象的要复杂得多)”可知,文章主要介绍了频繁地使用社交媒体尤其会给女孩造成心理危害。由此可知,文章最好的标题是“社交媒体的使用对女孩的影响尤其大”。故选B。
D
With the completion of the Human Genome Project more than 20 years ago, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA enjoying its 70th birthday last year, you might assume that we know how life works. Think again!
Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life.
In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood. Ball explains that life is a system of many levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules-each with its own rules and principles, so there is no unique place to look for an answer to it.
Also, How Life Works is a much more appealing title than the overused question of “What is life?”. We should be less concerned with what a thing is, and rather more focused on what a thing does. Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type, but this will run counter to the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space.
But it’s an idea that is deeply rooted within our culture. Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice. We are taught that cells are machines, though no machine we have invented behaves like the simplest cell; that DNA is a code or a blueprint, though it is neither; that the brain is a computer, though no computer behaves like a brain at all.
Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life.
32. What does paragraph 2 intend to state?
A. The research of biology is tricky.
B. Human evolution is a lengthy process.
C. Genes determine the structure of living things.
D. Commonly held models of life are oversimplified.
33. What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Go against. B. Refer to. C. Account for. D. Contribute to.
34. What is Ball’s attitude to using metaphors to explain life?
A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indecisive.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To review a book. B. To introduce genetic map.
C. To honour a writer. D. To correct a misperception.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《生命是如何运作的》一书关于生命的理解。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“you might assume that we know how life works. Think again!(你可能会认为我们知道生命是如何运作的。再想想!)”和第二段“Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life. (进化比我们早了40亿年。然而,关于生命如何运作的标准图景的几个方面——基因组是蓝图,基因是构建生物体的指令,蛋白质是精确定制的分子机器等等——大大降低了生命的复杂性)”推知,第二段第2段想说明普遍持有的生命模型过于简化了,即我们并不真正知道生命是如何运作的。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type(定义一个生物意味着一个不可改变的理想类型)”以及后文“the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space.(达尔文认为生物是四维的,在时间和空间上都是不断变化的)”可知,定义生物意味着一种不可改变的理想类型,这违背了达尔文生物是思维的原则,即生物在时间和空间上不断变化。故划线词意思是“违背”。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice.(鲍尔指出,我们依靠隐喻来解释和探索生活的复杂性,但这还不够)”可知,鲍尔对用隐喻来解释生活的态度是不赞成的。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood.(在《生命是如何运作的》一书中,菲利普·鲍尔探索了新的生物学,揭示了生命比我们所理解的要丰富得多、微妙得多)”以及最后一段“Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’ s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life.(鲍尔是一位了不起的作家,他写了大量题材极其丰富的书。这里有大量经过充分研究的信息,还有一些细节对于外行读者来说有点难以理解。但这本书是我们对生命永无止境的探索的基本介绍)”推知,文章的目的是评论一本书。故选A。

Li Hua stared at his college admission letter with mixed feelings. His 602-point Gaokao score had earned him a spot at a top 211 university, but uncertainty ____41____ his excitement — until a study-abroad agent reached out.
“The QS ranking of that 211 is over 1,000,” the agent said, sliding a brochure across the table. “But this Malaysian university ranks 200-odd globally — a huge ____42____ in international recognition.” Li Hua frowned; he’d never heard of the school, but the agent ____43____ him with glossy rankings charts. “Chinese 985s often get ____44____ unfairly in QS because of one-sided evaluation criteria(评定标准), not poor quality,” the agent admitted, “but employers only look at the numbers.”
Tempted by the “global advantage,” Li Hua ____45____ the 211 offer. The agent promised smooth admission, deliberately not ____46____ any entry requirements. It was only after arriving in Malaysia that he ____47____ the truth: the university accepted students without Gaokao scores, and his “prestigious” program was filled with Chinese peers who’d paid the agent’s ____48____ fees.
Four years later, Li Hua returned home with his degree, ____49____ for job interviews. But disappointment hit hard. “Your Malaysian school has no reputation here,” an HR manager told him. “We’d rather hire a 211 graduate with proven academic ____50____.” Li Hua checked job boards and found that even mid-sized companies ____51____ domestic 211/985 degrees over unrecognized overseas ones.
He tried calling the agent, but the number was ____52____. A former classmate revealed the agent had pocketed tens of thousands from each student, ____53____ false rankings to profit. Li Hua felt a sharp ____54____ of regret — he’d traded a guaranteed 211 education for a useless degree.
Sitting in his old bedroom, Li Hua flipped through his Gaokao score report. He’d once had a clear path, but ____55____ and misinformation had led him astray. The QS ranking the agent had hyped so much turned out to be a meaningless number in the eyes of Chinese employers.

67. 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。
When I landed in a small town in New Zealand as an exchange student, I thought I was ready for everything — new faces, language barriers, strange social patterns and even homesickness. Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place.
Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place.
But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile.
And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite?
That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers.
A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came.

【答案】【参考范文】(116+115词)
At the Culture Festival I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors. Soon, students and teachers gathered, curiosity in their eyes. I welcomed them with a smile and demonstrated: fold, cut, unfold — and a butterfly spread its wings. A wave of surprise rippled through the crowd. Encouraged, I invited a boy to try; his star turned out uneven, yet drew laughter and applause. More joined eagerly, and I moved among them, guiding their hands, praising their efforts and celebrating each creation. When a teacher proudly held up her paper flower, the cheers grew louder. Red pieces fell to the floor, and my confidence, once hidden, shone through every new pattern.
From that day on, my world here started to change. In the hallway, students waved butterflies from my stand and greeted me with bright “Ni hao!” My heart lifted as I waved back. In literature class, I gave voice to my ideas with newfound confidence. My English was not flawless, yet my voice was steady, and instead of silence I saw nods and smiles. After class, a girl asked softly, “Can you show us more about your culture?” Her words lingered in my heart, echoing like a gentle reminder. In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own.

Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
24. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability?
A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
25. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study?
A. His mother. B. His sister.
C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
26. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta?
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
27 Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story?
A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path.
C
Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that impact mental health, such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.
Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”
The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons,” the authors said.
The researchers found that, in both sexes, “very frequent” social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was.
But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm.
“It’s an important distinction,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.”
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of cyberbullying. B. The content of the interview.
C. The findings of the research. D. The functions of social media.
29. What did Bob Patton mainly tell us?
A. The need to fight against mental harm. B. The impact of social media use on people.
C. The benefit of limiting social media use. D. The proper way to improve mental health.
30. What can we know about the research?
A. It had shortcomings. B. It needed more attention.
C. It was the first in its field. D. It was difficult to carry out.
31. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. The research on teenage boys B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. The harm of using social media D. Social interactions are encouraged
D
With the completion of the Human Genome Project more than 20 years ago, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA enjoying its 70th birthday last year, you might assume that we know how life works. Think again!
Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life.
In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood. Ball explains that life is a system of many levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules-each with its own rules and principles, so there is no unique place to look for an answer to it.
Also, How Life Works is a much more appealing title than the overused question of “What is life?”. We should be less concerned with what a thing is, and rather more focused on what a thing does. Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type, but this will run counter to the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space.
But it’s an idea that is deeply rooted within our culture. Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice. We are taught that cells are machines, though no machine we have invented behaves like the simplest cell; that DNA is a code or a blueprint, though it is neither; that the brain is a computer, though no computer behaves like a brain at all.
Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life.
32. What does paragraph 2 intend to state?
A. The research of biology is tricky.
B. Human evolution is a lengthy process.
C. Genes determine the structure of living things.
D. Commonly held models of life are oversimplified.
33. What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4 mean?
A Go against. B. Refer to. C. Account for. D. Contribute to.
34. What is Ball’s attitude to using metaphors to explain life?
A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indecisive.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To review a book. B. To introduce genetic map.
C. To honour a writer. D. To correct a misperception.

Li Hua stared at his college admission letter with mixed feelings. His 602-point Gaokao score had earned him a spot at a top 211 university, but uncertainty ____41____ his excitement — until a study-abroad agent reached out.
“The QS ranking of that 211 is over 1,000,” the agent said, sliding a brochure across the table. “But this Malaysian university ranks 200-odd globally — a huge ____42____ in international recognition.” Li Hua frowned; he’d never heard of the school, but the agent ____43____ him with glossy rankings charts. “Chinese 985s often get ____44____ unfairly in QS because of one-sided evaluation criteria(评定标准), not poor quality,” the agent admitted, “but employers only look at the numbers.”
Tempted by the “global advantage,” Li Hua ____45____ the 211 offer. The agent promised smooth admission, deliberately not ____46____ any entry requirements. It was only after arriving in Malaysia that he ____47____ the truth: the university accepted students without Gaokao scores, and his “prestigious” program was filled with Chinese peers who’d paid the agent’s ____48____ fees.
Four years later, Li Hua returned home with his degree, ____49____ for job interviews. But disappointment hit hard. “Your Malaysian school has no reputation here,” an HR manager told him. “We’d rather hire a 211 graduate with proven academic ____50____.” Li Hua checked job boards and found that even mid-sized companies ____51____ domestic 211/985 degrees over unrecognized overseas ones.
He tried calling the agent, but the number was ____52____. A former classmate revealed the agent had pocketed tens of thousands from each student, ____53____ false rankings to profit. Li Hua felt a sharp ____54____ of regret — he’d traded a guaranteed 211 education for a useless degree.
Sitting in his old bedroom, Li Hua flipped through his Gaokao score report. He’d once had a clear path, but ____55____ and misinformation had led him astray. The QS ranking the agent had hyped so much turned out to be a meaningless number in the eyes of Chinese employers.

67. 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。
When I landed in a small town in New Zealand as an exchange student, I thought I was ready for everything — new faces, language barriers, strange social patterns and even homesickness. Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place.
Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place.
But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile.
And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite?
That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers.
A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, my world here started to change.
