Usually in crimes like this he would find broken glass, clothes on the floor and empty walls with some paintings. But inside this apartment he discovered that everything seemed to be in its proper place. That is, except for the woman crying in the kitchen. Doctor Johnson tried to check everyone’s health condition. Luckily it appeared no one had been hurt. The house owners said the locks weren’t broken and he had found no damage to the possessions. Detective Smith decided to speak with the lady in the kitchen, who was trying to feed her cat little heart shaped snacks. The cat wasn’t eating them though, which was strange because the woman said the cat usually loves them. Smith noticed that the cat looked quite sick he asked the woman what was missing and she replied that it was part of her grandmother’s necklace. She showed detective Smith a photo of the necklace. It was a piece of gold jewelry in the shape of a small heart. Suddenly something he had already observed that night flashed in his memory. He looked at his partner with a knowing smile. He said he knew who the thief was. It wasn’t a thief at all, at least not a traditional one. 第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分60分) 第一节 阅读理解(共19小题;每小题2.5分，满分47.5分) A Times are hard and the price of just about everything we need and care for our rescued animals, has been skyrocketing.

One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow. 24. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose? A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing. B. A lot of care and the right soil. C. Tomato plants grown alongside. D. Cages placed around the roots. 25. The writer planted the tomato plant because______. A. there was room for it in the garden B. the soil was just right for it C. it cost only $1. 25 D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered 26. This year the writer’s roses were_______. A. removed from the rose bed B. largely hidden under the tomato plant C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight D. picked along with the tomatoes 27. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________. A. express her liking for the roses B. show the hardship of growing the roses C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes D. express her care for the tomatoes 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者种西红柿的经历。作者在春天偶然栽种的一棵西红柿长成后个头非常大，影响到了园中的玫瑰花，作者在享受西红柿美味的同时，又难以割舍珍贵的玫瑰花，面对两种选择，作者举棋不定。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. (玫瑰需要精心呵护，如果不是为了它带来的乐趣，它就不值得花那么多功夫)”和第四段中的“Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes.(正好适合玫瑰生长的土壤条件对番茄来说更完美)”可知，玫瑰健康生长需要大量的照料和正确的土壤。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。从第三段倒数第二句“It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. (是因为花园里有足够的空间，我才种了一株小小的番茄)”可知，作家种西红柿是因为花园里有空地。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. (花1美元买了一株9英寸的小植物，在春天的时候，它已经占据了我的大部分玫瑰花圃，覆盖了很多其他的植物，而且很快就会到达前门)”可知，西红柿已经盖住了玫瑰花。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据本段首句中the task可知，作者将摘西红柿看成是一项“任务”；以及“First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. (首先，我必须在叶子中找到红色的，这意味着我几乎要倒立起来，一旦找到了，我就必须把手伸到下面，摘起西红柿，然后收回我的拳头，不让我来之不易的奖品掉下去)”可知，在第5段中，作者想通过说“来之不易的奖品”来表达摘西红柿的困难。故选C项。 C Ten years ago, when asked about popular activities for fun, many people would say going to KTV or amusement parks. However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸). A survey in 2023 by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3% of 1,000 young people have tried TCM. A TCM doctor named Ma Huifang said that many young people are coming to her for health problems like neck and back pain, and dry eyes, which used to be seniors’ problems. These issues are becoming common in young people because of bad lifestyles and too much stress. When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. Some people say TCM is not scientific enough, but Ma thinks TCM is more accurate because it treats people based on their own needs. TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. Jin Ying, a 25-year-old student at Minzu University of China, is an enthusiast of TCM. She learned acupuncture and tuina at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. She even helped her roommate with insomnia (失眠) using ear seeds from a therapy called auricular acupoint therapy. Jin also follows the Five Elements theory in her daily life. In winter, she saves energy by not sweating too much. For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage and see it as a treasure of our culture,” Jin says. 28. How has young people changed their free time activity in the past few years? A. They have stopped going to health clubs. B. They only enjoy western medicine for the treatment. C. They now prefer going to KTV and amusement parks. D. They now spend more time joining healthy activities. 29. Why do young people prefer TCM therapies according to Ma Huifang? A. They are useful for treatments. B. They change their bad lifestyles. C. They deal with too much stress. D. They are cheaper than other methods. 30. What does the underlined word “accurate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useful. B. Advanced. C. Personalized. D. Special. 31. Why does the writer mention Jin Ying? A. To show Jin Ying’s skills. B. To prove the acceptance of TCM. C. To praise Jin Ying’s kindness. D. To explain the progress of TCM. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在年轻人更喜欢中医。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸). (然而，现在的年轻人把空闲时间花在健身俱乐部，或做按摩，甚至足底按摩，以体验中医（TCM）的疗法，如针灸)”可知，现在年轻人在空闲时间更倾向于参加健康的、养生类的活动。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. (当选择西医和中医时，年轻人更喜欢中医，因为它对他们的健康问题有很好的效果)”可知，年轻人喜欢中医是因为中医的疗效很好。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词 accurate 后的句子“because it treats people based on their own needs.(因为它是根据人们自己的需求来治疗的)”可知，TCM疗法是根据病人需求治疗，更具个性化，因此accurate为“个性化的”之意 。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话“TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. (中医正在成为年轻人生活的重要组成部分)” 可推断，作者写Jin Ying的例子是为了体现中医在年轻人当中的认可度和传播度。故选B。 D At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 32. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 33. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 34. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 35. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者学习中国书法的经历和感悟，包括初次接触书法时的情景，名字的由来，在美国放弃中文名，回到香港学习书法的原因，老师对自己的评价，以及通过书法对自身的思考和认识等。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔，所以他们请算命先生给我取名字，希望能给我带来最大的好运。于是，我给自己取了一个毫无意义又尴尬的名字：陈薏温，意思大致是“陈旧”、“薏米”、“温暖”)”可知， 作者认为自己的名字“Chen Yi wen”是无意义且令人尴尬的，虽然父母是为了追求最大的运气才取这个名字，但她还是不喜欢。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.(当我在美国生活了14年后，于2021年搬到香港时，我决定学习书法。为什么不跟我的传统联系一下呢？我想)”可知，作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可推知，从老师的话中，作者了解到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可知，作者最初学习书法是为了 “接触文化遗产（get back in touch with my heritage）”，但过程中逐渐意识到 “what I was really seeking was a return to myself（我真正寻求的是回归自我）”，最终感悟到 “the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully（书法带来的乐趣让我更全面地了解自己）”。老师最后评价她的字 “this word is yours（这个字是你的）”，暗指 “字如其人”，作者通过书法探索自我、发现内在的价值与美好。故选B。 E With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 36. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 37. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 38. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading. C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading. D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature. 39. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. D 39. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. (挪威斯塔万格大学的文学教授安妮·曼根表示，与在屏幕上阅读不同，在纸上阅读很平静，而且能吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，纸质书更能让我们静下心来阅读。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. (劳伦·辛格·特拉克曼的一项研究发现，无论是在纸上阅读还是在屏幕上阅读，学生都能理解主要思想，但他们会错过屏幕上的一些小细节。)”可知，屏幕阅读速度快，但不利于深度思考。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. (辛格·特拉克曼说，她用Kindle是为了娱乐，但在严肃的阅读中，她会转向纸质书。)”可知，她习惯用纸质书阅读严肃读物。阅读挑战性的文学读物属于严肃阅读，所以可以推断在读挑战性的文学时，她倾向于用纸质书。故选D。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones.( 随着数字化学习的普及，一些学生选择使用电脑和互联网在家学习。他们使用网站和电子书，而不是纸质书。)”及全文可知，文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处，所以B项“Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens(纸质阅读vs.屏幕阅读)”作本文标题最佳。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. ____40____ According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions (being in the same place and the same time, again and again). When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing. ____41____ Unless we make the effort to put ourselves in situations where we’ll be among others, we probably won’t meet anyone new. So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people. ____42____ You also have to make the effort to engage with them. Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation. ____43____ This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with. Interestingly, a study by Cornell University found that most people underestimate how much people like them when they meet new people. So even if you feel a bit awkward, chances are that other people won’t see you in this way. Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop. Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them. ____44____ A. Friends, like books, should be few but good. B. Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t. C. But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out. D. It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though. E. Nevertheless, making friends with right people is full of benefits. F. Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes. G. Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together. 【答案】40. F 41. C 42. D 43. B 44. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了成年人是可以交到朋友的，但是需要花费时间和精力。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible.(作为一个成年人交朋友可能很难，但也不是不可能)”以及后文“Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop.(一旦你和某人建立了友好的关系，你需要给这种关系发展的时间)”可知，本文讲述成年人交朋友可能很难，但也不是不可能，但是需要时间，所以F项“Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes.(然而，不幸的是，没有办法避免花费时间和精力)”和前文构成转折关系，且符合本文主题。故选F项。 【41题详解】 根据前文“According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions (being in the same place and the same time, again and again). When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing.(根据心理学家和友谊专家玛丽莎·G·弗朗哥博士的说法，开始一段友谊有一个必要的因素:持续的、计划外的互动(一次又一次地在同一个地点、同一个时间)。当我们年轻的时候，在学校或大学里，这要容易得多，因为我们被自动地置于一个广泛的人际网络中，这些人都在经历同样的事情)”可知，本段在讲述了发展友谊的必要因素，年轻的时候很容易实现这个因素，所以C项“But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out.(但随着年龄的增长，我们闲逛的时间越来越少)”和前文构成转折关系，符合文意。故选C项。 【42题详解】 根据前文“So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people.(所以，你的第一步应该是去那些你可以遇见别人的地方)”以及后文“You also have to make the effort to engage with them.(你还必须努力与他们接触)”可知，D项“It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though.(然而，仅仅和这些人在一起是不够的)”承接上文，并引出下文，符合文意。故选D项。 【43题详解】 根据前文“Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation.(自我介绍一下，试着开始一段对话)”以及后文“This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with.(这很好：只要坚持下去，直到你找到一个你喜欢的人)”可知，B项“Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t.(有时会顺利，有时则不然)”是对前文的进一步说明，而后文又是对本句的进一步说明，符合文意。故选B项。 【44题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them.(不断出现，有意识地为对方付出努力，同时对这段关系有足够的信心，不要对他们要求太高)”可知，G项“Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together.(随着时间的推移，你们共同的经历会让你们走得更近)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分45分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.

B 阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Soon, you’ re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow. 24. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose? A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing. B. A lot of care and the right soil. C. Tomato plants grown alongside. D. Cages placed around the roots. 25. The writer planted the tomato plant because______. A. there was room for it in the garden B. the soil was just right for it C. it cost only $1. 25 D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered 26. This year the writer’s roses were_______. A. removed from the rose bed B. largely hidden under the tomato plant C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight D. picked along with the tomatoes 27. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________. A. express her liking for the roses B. show the hardship of growing the roses C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes D. express her care for the tomatoes C Ten years ago, when asked about popular activities for fun, many people would say going to KTV or amusement parks. However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸). A survey in 2023 by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3% of 1,000 young people have tried TCM. A TCM doctor named Ma Huifang said that many young people are coming to her for health problems like neck and back pain, and dry eyes, which used to be seniors’ problems. These issues are becoming common in young people because of bad lifestyles and too much stress. When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. Some people say TCM is not scientific enough, but Ma thinks TCM is more accurate because it treats people based on their own needs. TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. Jin Ying, a 25-year-old student at Minzu University of China, is an enthusiast of TCM. She learned acupuncture and tuina at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. She even helped her roommate with insomnia (失眠) using ear seeds from a therapy called auricular acupoint therapy. Jin also follows the Five Elements theory in her daily life. In winter, she saves energy by not sweating too much. For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage and see it as a treasure of our culture,” Jin says. 28. How has young people changed their free time activity in the past few years? A. They have stopped going to health clubs. B. They only enjoy western medicine for the treatment. C. They now prefer going to KTV and amusement parks. D. They now spend more time joining healthy activities. 29. Why do young people prefer TCM therapies according to Ma Huifang? A. They are useful for treatments. B. They change their bad lifestyles. C. They deal with too much stress. D. They are cheaper than other methods. 30. What does the underlined word “accurate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useful. B. Advanced. C. Personalized. D. Special. 31. Why does the writer mention Jin Ying? A. To show Jin Ying’s skills. B. To prove the acceptance of TCM. C. To praise Jin Ying’s kindness. D. To explain the progress of TCM. D At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 32. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 33. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 34.

E With digital learning gaining popularity some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 36. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 37. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 38. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading. C She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading. D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature. 39. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D.

When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing. ____41____ Unless we make the effort to put ourselves in situations where we’ll be among others, we probably won’t meet anyone new. So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people. ____42____ You also have to make the effort to engage with them. Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation. ____43____ This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with. Interestingly, a study by Cornell University found that most people underestimate how much people like them when they meet new people. So even if you feel a bit awkward, chances are that other people won’t see you in this way. Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop. Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them. ____44____ A. Friends, like books, should be few but good. B. Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t. C. But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out. D. It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though. E. Nevertheless, making friends with right people is full of benefits. F. Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes. G. Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together. 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分45分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.
