In the early 19th century,New England farmers,tired of wrestling with their poor land,journeyed to the Midwest.In states like Illinois and Iowa,they found rich,black soil.Unfortunately,many soon felt like thirsty sailors in the middle of the ocean—water everywhere but not a drop to drink.They were surrounded by fertile(肥沃的) soil,but had to stop every few seconds to remove the sticky dirt off their iron plows(犁) with large wooden paddles(桨板).This dilemma caught the attention of John Deere,a blacksmith who moved to Illinois in 1836.
Deere decided to look into the problem.From his previous work on plows,he knew that dirt was less likely to stick to highly polished metal.That thought was in the back of his mind when he visited a sawmill(锯木厂) in 1837 and noticed a broken saw made of steel.Deere brought it home and began making a better plow.The plow he wanted would have to cut deep into the soil at a sharp angle so that dirt would fall off,yet it could not put too much burden on the horses pulling it.After several experiments,Deere constructed a new plow that featured wood handles.It proved a success.Unlike the old iron plows,Deere’s not only had a blade(刀片) from which dirt fell away cleanly,but it also turned the soil more efficiently and quickly.
Demand for Deere’s plows increased sharply,but production was limited by the shortage of polished steel.Initially,Deere could only produce a few plows each year.However,Deere’s persistence paid off as he sourced cheaper steel from Pittsburgh.Amazingly,in 1857,his company manufactured and sold 10,000 plows!
Deere,a perfectionist,continually improved his plows,introducing multiple new versions in a single year.While this slowed down his production ability,it ensured Deere a solid reputation among his customers.Deere’s plows became world-famous in the 1870s when they outshone the competition in a demonstration in France.That same decade,his company built its first riding plow and designed the leaping deer as its trademark.
24.What was the main problem the newly settled farmers met in the Midwest?
A.A shortage of fresh water.
B.A lack of rich farming land.
C.The trouble in handling the soil on plows.
D.The difficulty in wrestling with their poor land.
25.What’s Deere’s new plow like?
A.It is made from wood.
B.It is non-stick.
C.It is heavy.
D.It is sharp.
26.Which words can be used to describe Deere?
A.Generous and ambitious.
B.Competent and cooperative.
C.Passionate and perfect.
D.Persistent and reliable.
27.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The plows’ wide recognition.
B.Deere’s marketing strategy.
C.Deere’s working efficiency.
D.Deere’s production challenges.
C
You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before:Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now.However,we can have a different understanding about it.
When a person is starving,that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish—eradicating their hunger—and only then teach them to fish.Far too often,people ignore this common sense at the first step.They see someone who is struggling,and they rush to offer wisdom.“Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.
But few of us understand the anxiety,confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need.People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight.Their nerves may be shot.Their confidence may be non-existent.Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation?
Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time.Instead,it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance.Once their ears,heart and mind open,you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson?Two things:One is the ability to pay attention.We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive,or looking at the world through narrowed eyes?You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say.The other is empathy(共情).The more successful you are,the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite.Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
28.What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To illustrate a concept.
B.To put up an example.
C.To bring in a new viewpoint.
D.To introduce the background.
29.What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Getting rid of. B.Paying attention to.
C.Standing up for. D.Putting up with.
30.What should we do first for those in disasters?
A.Get them to think straight.
B.Enhance their confidence.
C.Fill their head with wisdom.
D.Teach them a new skill.
31.What does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph?
A.Live and learn.
B.Put yourself in others’ shoes.
C.Never teach a fish to swim.
D.Don’t teach old dogs new tricks.
D
A physical check-up often begins with a series of questions:What food do you eat?Do you smoke?Getting any exercise?A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list:What was your college major?The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife.
The researchers find four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering,biology/life sciences,business,and—here’s a surprise—communications/journalism.Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape.
It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier.But does one’s major matter?To find out,the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey.
Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64—the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear.Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs,dressing or bathing.A “yes” answer in any of those categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health.
The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree,but went no further in their education.They noted each person’s college major,which they placed into one of 15 categories.They found substantial differences in health across majors.Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife.The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors.The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors.Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings.Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement(执行).
The researchers say that they have discovered associations,not proof of causality(因果关系).But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyles than others.Their findings might even inspire a warning country song:Mammas,don’t let your babies grow up to be psychology majors.
32.What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A.Smoking can lead to poor health.
B.Diet is more important than exercise.
C.Physical check-ups keep you healthy.
D.College majors could be added to a check-up list.
33.How do researchers draw their conclusion?
A.By doing face-to-face interviews.
B.By following participants’ daily routines.
C.By doing medical examinations.
D.By analyzing the representative data.
34.Which of the following is against midlife health according to the researchers?
A.Engineering. B.Business.
C.Psychology. D.Journalism.
35.What is the text mainly about?
A.Your college major predicts midlife health.
B.Your major can influence your career interests.
C.The annual physical check-up is necessary to life.
D.People with more education tend to be healthier.

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。
Let’s begin with a question:If you had to make one life choice,right now,to set yourself on the path to future happiness,what would it be?
Would you choose to put more money into savings each month?To change careers? 36 ?What single choice could best ensure that when you reach your final days and look back,you’ll feel that you’ve lived a good life?
37 .Seventy-six percent said that becoming rich was their number one goal.Fifty percent said a major goal was to become famous.More than a decade later,after millennials(千禧一代) had spent more time as adults,similar questions were asked again. 38 ,but the top goals again included things like making money,having a successful career,and becoming debt-free.
These are common and practical goals that extend across generations and borders. 39 ,even though most of us understand that these things do not necessarily make for a happy life on their own.
All day long we were surrounded by messages about what will make us happy.If a friend buys a new car,we might wonder if a newer car would make our own life better.As we scroll social media feeds,seeing only pictures of fantastic parties,we might wonder if our own life is lacking in parties.
Over time,therefore,we develop the feeling that our life is here,now,and the things we need for a good life are over there,or in the future. 40 .However,the truth is:The good life is a complicated life.The good life is a process.It includes sorrows,joys,calm,lightness,burdens,struggles,achievements,setbacks,leaps forward,and terrible falls.
A.Always just out of reach
B.Fame was now lower on the list
C.Would you decide to travel more
D.What have you achieved in the past years
E.It’s only human nature to pursue material comforts
F.Success in life is often measured by title,salary and achievement
G.In a 2007 survey,millennials were asked about their most important life goals

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。
At the far end of town,next to a dark forest,sat an old white house.It looked like a Spook House from a story,which might sound interesting if it weren’t where I lived with my mom and little brother,Andy.
The house wasn’t so horrible,but the outside might make you think twice about entering.Peeling(脱落的) paint revealed black images underneath that looked like bats.And weeds and long grass wrapped the house.
When Mom rented it,I thought she was crazy.“Are you kidding,Mom?You really want to live in this place?It’s ugly.” Mom looked hurt,and I regretted my words.I knew she was doing the best she could.Obviously,this house wouldn’t be her first choice if money were no object.
Mom cleaned every room and painted the inside.I must admit the fresh paint made a difference.“Can I paint the outside?” I asked her.“I’ll ask Mr.Dudley to paint it,” Mom replied.
Our landlord,Mr.Dudley agreed,but he always had thousands of excuses.Mom didn’t seem concerned.She was busy planning for my grandma to live with us.Having my grandma watch Andy while Mom worked would save on daycare expenses.
One morning I told my grandma that I was joining a history study group at Justine’s house after school and would be late getting home.“Just be home before dark,” she said.
That afternoon I walked with a girl and a boy to Justine’s house—a big,beautiful house with columns.The inside was furnished like a decorator magazine,with elegant furniture.
“I love your house,Justine,” I said,trying not to scream.She smiled,“Thanks.You’ll have to come over again.” I was delighted and surprised that Justine wanted me to come back.I would definitely take her up on her offer.I just couldn’t invite her to my house.No way did I want anyone to see my house.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When the sun was near setting,Justine’s mom said she would drive us home.
The following week,we started the paint job.

Well,now,ladies and gentlemen,that was our last item,and all that remains for me to do is to thank our performers sincerely on behalf of us all for the pleasure they have given us this evening.And of course I must express thanks to those who’ve worked behind the scenes.And especially our producer.But most of all,I want to say “thank you” to all of you for coming here this evening and supporting this event,especially in such weather.I think perhaps I should take this opportunity to renew my sincere apologies to those sitting in the back rows.We’ve made temporary repairs to the roof,but unfortunately the rain tonight was unexpectedly heavy,and we’re grateful to you for your understanding and cheerful good humour.I may say that we had hoped that temporary repairs would suffice.But we were recently informed that the whole roof will have to be replaced:which is of course a heavy blow when you think it’s only five years since we replaced the roof of the church itself.And so we shall be having another concert soon,I hope.

第一节
Dear Ian,
I can’t wait to share with you my idea for the class activity on the topic of “Body Language”.
I am excited to present to you my design for the class activity on the theme of “Body Language”.The activity will involve interactive role-playing exercises where students will have to communicate without using words,relying solely on their body language to convey emotions,intentions,and messages.Through these exercises,students will develop a deeper understanding of the importance of non-verbal communication and how it impacts our daily interactions.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
When the sun was near setting,Justine’s mom said she would drive us home.My heart sank as I envisioned her reaction to our dwelling.As we approached,anxiety tightened its grip on me.Justine’s eyes widened at the sight of the peeling paint and overgrown lawn,but to my surprise,she didn’t mock or criticize.Her understanding gaze softened any embarrassment I felt.I hesitated,and then shared how my mom was trying hard to make things better despite our financial constraints.Before she left,she volunteered to help me paint the house.And we planned to finish it in a week.
The following week,we started the paint job.With Mr.Dudley finally providing the necessary supplies,our small team consisting of Justine,Andy,and myself started to paint.The once-spooky exterior now wore a fresh coat of sunny yellow.As the last brushstroke dried,I realized that the true beauty of a home isn’t just in its appearance but in the love and unity that reside within its walls.And as for Justine,she didn’t just visit our house again;she became a regular,proving that true friendship transcends the facades we’re sometimes afraid to show.
