Here are some wonderful films for you to kill time. Away We Go With a baby on his way, a young couple, Burt and Verona, look at their lives and are puzzled about what they really want. So they hit the road and seek a place to call home. On their journey, they visit a handful of characters and learn a lot. It’s about taking the scenic route in life, preparing for the hope and excitement and fear of new beginnings, while never forgetting to look out of the window. Orphan Esther, a bright and well-behaved child, however, is not as innocent as she appears. Soon after being taken home, the peace of her adoptive family is completely changed… You want a good horror film about a child from hell? 500 Days of Summer Tom is in love with Summer from the moment he sees her. Can he accept that she simply likes him for now, not for forever? The movie is about Tom wrestling with that reality. Tom remembers his love, Summer, as a series of joys and bafflements (不解，迷惑). But Summer is just herself and he cannot have her. Here is a rare movie that begins by telling us how it will end and is about how the hero has no idea why. 2012 The director Roland Emmerich successfully dresses a corny story with an old Mayan prediction, which is believed by many to happen in the coming 2012 and as a result, attracts millions of people into the cinema. It’s just an entertaining Hollywood blockbuster (大片) with plenty of jokes, instead of a description of what the end of the world is really like. Don’t take it too seriously! 11. This passage aims to ______. A. make comments on films for a cinema B. introduce films for a film corporation C. recommend several films for fun D. advertise several films for a website 12. If you bring your seven-year-old sister to the cinema, which of the following film should you avoid the most? A. Away We Go. B. Orphan. C. 2012. D. 500 Days of Summer. 13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Orphan is a comedy about Esther adopted by a kind family. B. 500 Days of Summer is a romance with a happy ending. C. Away We Go shows beautiful scenery on the young couple’s journey. D. The ancient Mayan prediction is going to happen in 2012. 【答案】11. C 12. B 13. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要是推荐了几部有趣的电影，供人们在即将到来的假期消遣娱乐。 【11题详解】 文章开篇提到“Have you got any wonderful plans for your coming vacation? Here are some wonderful films for you to kill time.”，明确表明是给即将到来的假期推荐几部精彩的电影来消磨时间，并非是为电影院评论电影、为电影公司介绍电影或为网站做电影广告。 【12题详解】 “Orphan”中的介绍“You want a good horror film about a child from hell?”，说明这是一部恐怖电影，不适合七岁的孩子观看。而“Away We Go”是关于年轻夫妇生活的电影；“500 Days of Summer”是讲述爱情与现实的电影；“2012”是带有大量笑话的娱乐大片，相对来说“Orphan”最不适合七岁孩子。 【13题详解】 “Away We Go”中提到“It’s about taking the scenic route in life...”，表明这部电影展示了年轻夫妇旅途中的美丽风景，C选项符合题意。 Passage B Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home. “For the rent.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces. “For the groceries.” Another group of coins. “I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me. Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling. When Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Eagerly we gathered around the table. I took down a box and laid it carefully in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank”. It was used for sudden emergencies, such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor. Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school,” Nels volunteered. Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm. Then she wrote down another figure. “I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.” Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown and draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar’s operation… Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon. That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her lap. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.” Mama looked at me. “There is no account,” she said. “______.” And when I didn’t—couldn’t answer, Mama said seriously, “It is not good for little ones to be afraid—to not feel secure.” 14. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage? A. The family counted out money every Sunday night. B. Papa gave up smoking to support Nels for High School. C. Nels volunteered to look after children every Friday night. D. Mama actually did not have the Little Bank. 15. Which sentence can be put into “________” in the last paragraph? A. In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank. B. That’s great, I’ll put it in my Bank Account. C. You’d better save it for a rainy day. D. That won’t be necessary to put it in my Bank Account. 16. How did the writer’s feeling change about Mama’s bank account? A. proud-safe-surprised. B. nervous-good-uncertain C. interested-proud-good D. afraid-uncertain-proud 【答案】14. B 15. A 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者一家依靠“妈妈的银行账户”的信念，通过共同努力解决家庭困难的故事，多年后作者才发现，这个银行账户其实是妈妈为了给家人安全感而编造的善意谎言。 【14题详解】 第十段“‘I will give up smoking,’ he said suddenly.”，爸爸为了凑齐Nels上高中的费用，主动提出戒烟，与原文情节一致。 【15题详解】 全文最后一段“‘There is no account,’ she said.”，妈妈一直以来的“银行账户”是虚构的，补充说明她从未去过银行，与上下文逻辑连贯，符合语境。 【16题详解】 第五段、第十三段、最后一段“We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling./We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown and draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account./‘There is no account,’ she said.”，作者的情感变化为：最初为账户感到proud（自豪）→账户带来secure/safe（安全感）→得知账户不存在时感到surprised（惊讶）。 Passage C Hundreds of baby emperor penguins (企鹅) jumped off a 15-meter cliff (悬崖), as high as a five-story building. This scene was filmed by drones in January at Atka Bay, Antarctica. These videos were shown as part of a documentary series called Secrets of the Penguins. This jump seems brave but could be dangerous to these young penguins. According to National Geographic, emperor penguins usually raise their babies on sea ice platforms (平台). When these fledglings (幼鸟) are 5 months old, they lose their baby feathers and grow adult feathers, which are waterproof. Not long after, the babies have to begin their first swim in the ocean to hunt for themselves. Normally they just need to jump from the sea ice, which is less than a meter high. However, the fast-melting ice in Antarctica changes the situation. In February 2023, the total area of sea ice reached a record low of 1.91 million square kilometers. “Emperor penguins need sea ice for their raising their young, it’s the stable platform they use to bring up their young,” Peter Fretwell from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), UK’s national polar research institute, told the BBC. If the ice platform melts or breaks apart before penguin babies develop their waterproof (keep dry in water) feathers, they are more likely to drown or freeze to death. For this reason, emperor penguins are now choosing to raise their babies on the ice shelf, which is firmly connected to the land. As a result, babies must face the challenge of jumping off a high cliff. Michelle LaRue, a scientist at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, told National Geographic that when the baby penguins reach the cliff face, they seem to think, “This doesn’t look like a fun jump, but I guess I have to do it.” Alarmingly, according to Live Science, the decrease in the ice has caused thousands of emperor penguin babies to die in West Antarctica in 2022. That may force more emperors to make their nests on ice shelves, said Fretwell. “It’s heartbreaking to think that the whole species may be gone if climate change continues on the path at the moment,” he added. 17. Why do emperor penguin babies jump off cliffs? A. They want to travel across the ocean to the other side. B. They are trying to avoid being caught by other animals. C. They are celebrating getting their adult feathers which are waterproof. D. They have no other way to enter the water to find their own food. 18. What causes emperor penguins to raise their young on ice shelves? A. Rising sea levels. B. The rapid melting of sea ice. C. More available food for the babies. D. Bigger size of ice shelves. 19. What is the main worry that Fretwell had about emperor penguins? A. They takes less time to raise babies. B. Their skill in finding food on their own. C. The chance that they might disappear forever. D. Their growing need for frozen ocean water. 20. How does the author organize the information in the article? A. By comparing emperor penguins to other animals. B. By describing a problem and explaining its causes and effects. C. By listing the steps emperor penguins take to raise their young. D. By providing a timeline of events in Antarctica. 【答案】17. D 18. B 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于南极洲海冰快速融化，帝企鹅宝宝不得不从高高的悬崖跳入海中觅食，这一现象背后的原因以及可能带来的影响，呼吁人们关注气候变化对帝企鹅生存的威胁。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Not long after, the babies have to begin their first swim in the ocean to hunt for themselves. Normally they just need to jump from the sea ice, which is less than a meter high.”和第五段“For this reason, emperor penguins are now choosing to raise their babies on the ice shelf, which is firmly connected to the land. As a result, babies must face the challenge of jumping off a high cliff.”可知，文章提到帝企鹅通常在海冰平台上养育幼崽，幼鸟5个月大时长出防水羽毛后需下海觅食，正常只需从不到一米高的海冰上跳下；但由于海冰快速融化，若冰平台在幼鸟长出防水羽毛前融化或破裂，它们就会面临溺水或冻死的危险，所以帝企鹅选择在与陆地紧密相连的冰架上养育幼崽，这就导致幼崽不得不从高悬崖跳下进入水中寻找食物。故选D。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“the fast-melting ice in Antarctica changes the situation.”和第五段“Emperor penguins need sea ice for their raising their young…If the ice platform melts or breaks apart before penguin babies develop their waterproof feathers…For this reason, emperor penguins are now choosing to raise their babies on the ice shelf”可知，海冰的快速融化导致帝企鹅选择在冰架上养育幼崽。故选B。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Peter Fretwell…told the BBC…‘It’s heartbreaking to think that the whole species may be gone if climate change continues on the path at the moment,’ he added.”可知，Fretwell主要担心的是如果气候变化继续这样下去，帝企鹅整个物种可能会永远消失。故选C。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。本文首先描述了帝企鹅宝宝从悬崖跳下这一问题，接着解释了海冰融化这一原因，以及海冰融化导致帝企鹅改变养育幼崽地点、幼崽面临危险、数千幼崽死亡等影响；因此，本文是通过描述问题并解释其原因和影响来组织信息的。故选B。 Passage D Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that the purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be loving, to make some difference in the world. While we appreciate such words of wisdom, we rarely try to follow them in our lives. Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow view of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. A good life based on comfort and luxury may eventually lead to more pain because we spoil our health and even our character, principles, ideals, and relationships. What then, is the secret of a good life? A good life is a process, not a state of being; a direction, not a destination. We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any expectation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness. More importantly, we must know ourselves inside out. Only when we examine ourselves deeply can we discover our abilities and recognize our limitations, and then work accordingly to create a better world. The first requirement for a good life is having a loving heart. When we do certain right things merely as a duty, we find our job so tiresome that we’ll soon burn out. However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling. However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. If love is the engine of a car, knowledge is the steering wheel (方向盘). If the engine lacks power, the car can’t move; if the driver loses control of the steering, a road accident probably occurs. Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life. With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others. When we see the impact of our good work on the world, we give meaning to our life and earn lasting joy and happiness. 21. According to the author, how can one gain true happiness? A. Through maintaining good health. B. By going through pain and suffering. C. By recognizing one’s abilities and limitations. D. By offering much-needed help to others. 22. According to Paragraph 4, doing certain right things with a loving heart makes one ________. A. less selfish B. less annoying C. more motivated D. more responsible 23. In what case may good intentions fail to lead to desired results? A. When we have wrong knowledge of the world. B. When our love for the world is insufficient. C. When we are insensitive to dangers in life. D. When we stay blind to the reality. 24. According to Paragraph 5, life can be made truly good when ________. A. inspired by love and guided by knowledge B. directed by love and pushed by knowledge C. purified by love and enriched by knowledge D. changed by love and defined by knowledge 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. D 24. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕美好生活的真谛展开论述，批判了追求安逸享乐的狭隘生活观，提出真正的美好生活需要心怀爱心、具备正确认知，并通过服务他人、创造价值来实现人生意义与持久幸福。 【21题详解】 第三段“earn a good life by first serving others without any expectation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness”以及最后一段“by doing good to others...earn lasting joy and happiness”可知，作者认为通过为他人提供所需帮助、服务他人，才能获得真正的幸福。 【22题详解】 第四段指出，出于责任做事会让人疲惫倦怠，而“do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling”，说明心怀爱意做事时，人会更有动力、充满热情，对应更具积极性。 【23题详解】 第五段“Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results.”可知，当爱让我们对现实视而不见（stay blind to the reality）时，即便初衷是善意的，也可能无法达成理想的结果。 【24题详解】 第五段用比喻说明“love is the engine of a car, knowledge is the steering wheel”，并总结“Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life”，即以爱为动力、以知识为指引。 Passage E 请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E、F和G)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有两项是多余选项。 How Not to Be Awkward Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者主要向我们描述了怎样使自己不笨拙不尴尬，并提出了几点建议，如保持体形注意穿着、乐观、参加团体活动、发展个性等。 【25题详解】 根据标题“How Not to Be Awkward”和文章第一段“Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others.”可知，我们当中的许多人都很害羞，甚至可能感到与他人隔绝。可见，很多人会害羞的心理，这个是引起标题所说的尴尬的原因。下文说到“Let’s try to find answers to the questions.”，下面的标题和上文提到很多人有害羞的心理，会引起尴尬，下文引出解决问题的方法，可推知，空处讲述的是如何克服这种尴尬的倾向。选项F“那么，一个人能做些什么来克服这种尴尬的倾向呢？”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【26题详解】 根据本段标题“Stay in shape and dress up well”可知，需要保持体形，并穿着打扮好。根据下文“If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980’s film when actually it is 2011, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself.”可知，如果你看起来像是刚从1980年代的电影中走出来，而实际上是2011年，那么毫无疑问，你一定会对自己感到尴尬。由此可知，可知下文在谈不符合年代的穿着是多么尴尬。可推知，本空讲的是要穿合适的衣服，承上启下。选项C“其次，穿着要得体。”符合语境。故选C。 【27题详解】 根据标题“Be optimistic”可知，本段中心思想就是要求我们要有乐观的心态。根据本段“a smiling, happy and positive think person is appreciated by everybody.”可知，一个面带微笑，开心并积极思考的人会受到每个人的喜欢。由此可推知，如果总是不开心，不乐观面对一切，没有人会喜欢你。选项D“如果你看起来悲伤，没有人会真的喜欢和你在一起。”符合语境。故选D。 【28题详解】 根据第四段“This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So, in order to change this situation, join groups. For instance, if you are a reading lover, join a book club. Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity of your choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!”可知，这个真的很有帮助。当一个人与他人保持孤立时，通常会产生尴尬。所以，为了改变这种情况，加入团体。例如，如果你是一个阅读爱好者，加入一个读书俱乐部。与人们一起参加读书会和辩论会有助于消除你的尴尬。选择您选择的任何活动，例如参加团队运动或参加舞蹈课，很快您就会发现自己与人相处的舒适度与日俱增！由此可知，本段主要呼吁人们要参加团队活动。选项A“参加团队活动。”符合语境。故选A。 【29题详解】 根据本段第二句“For self-improvement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life.”可知，为了自我提升，培养一个为你的生活增添意义的爱好。可见，为了提高自己，要开始一个爱好，这个爱好可以给你的生活带来很大的意义。根据空处前面内容“Learn singing or try adventure sports.”可知，学习唱歌或尝试冒险运动。这与 E选项表达“一些简单的事情，比如听音乐，也会有很大的帮助。”属于并列的同类型的例子，符合语境。故选E。 Section 4 Writing (20’） Part 1 Read and answer the following questions. (10’） When I was in school, the class I dreaded most was my eighth grade art class. The teacher put down my every attempt at completing an assignment. I simply couldn’t produce art the way she wanted it. Luckily, I’d already proven myself in other creative areas. Yet, that art teacher was successful in convincing me that I had no talent for painting, drawing, or anything related to them. Imagine my surprise when I published my nature photography and became a volunteer art teacher! Unfortunately, my story is all too familiar to many people who come through my workshops and practice. Even more unfortunately, the vast majority of people were so discouraged in childhood that they cut off the creative impulse (冲动) in most areas of their lives. Their teachers, parents, or classmates convinced them they had no talent, so they gave up. The pain of failure was simply too great. Why have we forgotten creativity is an experience, not a result? Let’s consider why we express creativity in first place. To be creative is to be human. Everything we’ve at our disposal (可支配) is the result of someone’s creative expression and willingness to take a risk. Even so, for creativity to flower and feel free of encumbrance (累赘), it needs to be about the joyful moments spent creating, not just about what we’ve to show for those moments. Whatever pattern you need to break, try to make it about the pleasure and not about the outcome. Therefore, I’d urge you to curb your perfectionism not enthusiasm! Perfectionism is the leading killer of artistic expression. Relax a little and bring back your childlike nature when you create. Children instinctively (本能地) know how to give over to the joy-until someone teaches them otherwise! Let your creation be whatever it wants to be. See if it can lead you rather than the other way around. Let your unconsciousness come through, and let the expression of yourself be beautiful regardless of how it compares to anything else. After all, it’s yours, and no one but you could create it! 30. What made the author give up his dream of art? (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________ 31. Please explain the underlined word “curb” in English. (no more than 5 words) _______________________________________________________________________ 32. According to the passage, what is necessary for a creative person? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________ 33. Do you think you are creative as a student? If you are, please give an example. If not, please explain why. (no more than 25 words) _______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】30. His art teacher convinced him that he had no talent for art. 31. Control or limit. 32. To enjoy the process rather than the outcome. 33. Yes, I am. For example, I once made a bookmark from waste paper and drew a unique pattern on it. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文兼议论文，作者回忆了自己在八年级美术课上因老师不断否定而放弃绘画梦想的经历，后来却成为自然摄影和志愿艺术老师。文章探讨了创造力是体验而非结果，呼吁人们抑制完美主义、重拾童趣，让创造成为快乐的过程。 【30题详解】 原文第一段明确指出“that art teacher was successful in convincing me that I had no talent for painting, drawing, or anything related to them.”因此是美术老师让他相信自己没有艺术天赋，从而放弃了艺术梦想。 【31题详解】 划线词“curb”出现在最后一段第一句“I’d urge you to curb your perfectionism not enthusiasm!”，结合后文“Perfectionism is the leading killer”可知“curb”意为“控制、抑制”。 【32题详解】 第三段指出“for creativity to flower... it needs to be about the joyful moments spent creating, not just about what we’ve to show for those moments.”即创造力需要享受创作过程中的快乐，而不是只关注结果。因此必要条件是“享受过程而非结果”。 【33题详解】 本题为开放性题目，学生可根据自身情况回答，言之有理即可。示例答案表明自己具有创造力，并举例说明，如用废纸制作书签并画上独特图案等。注意字数不超过25词。 Part 2 Writing. （10’） 34. 你的外国笔友Alex计划今年暑假来中国旅游。请你写信向他推荐一个你认为最值得游览的中国景点，并说明推荐理由。写作不少于60词。内容包括： (1) Where do you recommend him to visit?

Here are some wonderful films for you to kill time. Away We Go With a baby on his way, a young couple, Burt and Verona, look at their lives and are puzzled about what they really want. So they hit the road and seek a place to call home. On their journey, they visit a handful of characters and learn a lot. It’s about taking the scenic route in life, preparing for the hope and excitement and fear of new beginnings, while never forgetting to look out of the window. Orphan Esther, a bright and well-behaved child, however, is not as innocent as she appears. Soon after being taken home, the peace of her adoptive family is completely changed… You want a good horror film about a child from hell? 500 Days of Summer Tom is in love with Summer from the moment he sees her. Can he accept that she simply likes him for now, not for forever? The movie is about Tom wrestling with that reality. Tom remembers his love, Summer, as a series of joys and bafflements (不解，迷惑). But Summer is just herself and he cannot have her. Here is a rare movie that begins by telling us how it will end and is about how the hero has no idea why. 2012 The director Roland Emmerich successfully dresses a corny story with an old Mayan prediction, which is believed by many to happen in the coming 2012 and as a result, attracts millions of people into the cinema. It’s just an entertaining Hollywood blockbuster (大片) with plenty of jokes, instead of a description of what the end of the world is really like. Don’t take it too seriously! 11.

Passage B Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home. “For the rent.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces. “For the groceries.” Another group of coins. “I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me. Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling. When Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Eagerly we gathered around the table. I took down a box and laid it carefully in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank”. It was used for sudden emergencies, such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor. Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school,” Nels volunteered. Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm. Then she wrote down another figure. “I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.” Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown and draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar’s operation… Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon. That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her lap. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.” Mama looked at me. “There is no account,” she said. “______.” And when I didn’t—couldn’t answer, Mama said seriously, “It is not good for little ones to be afraid—to not feel secure.” 14. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage? A. The family counted out money every Sunday night. B. Papa gave up smoking to support Nels for High School. C. Nels volunteered to look after children every Friday night. D. Mama actually did not have the Little Bank. 15. Which sentence can be put into “________” in the last paragraph? A. In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank. B. That’s great, I’ll put it in my Bank Account. C. You’d better save it for a rainy day. D. That won’t be necessary to put it in my Bank Account. 16. How did the writer’s feeling change about Mama’s bank account? A. proud-safe-surprised. B. nervous-good-uncertain C. interested-proud-good D. afraid-uncertain-proud Passage C Hundreds of baby emperor penguins (企鹅) jumped off a 15-meter cliff (悬崖), as high as a five-story building. This scene was filmed by drones in January at Atka Bay, Antarctica. These videos were shown as part of a documentary series called Secrets of the Penguins. This jump seems brave but could be dangerous to these young penguins. According to National Geographic, emperor penguins usually raise their babies on sea ice platforms (平台). When these fledglings (幼鸟) are 5 months old, they lose their baby feathers and grow adult feathers, which are waterproof. Not long after, the babies have to begin their first swim in the ocean to hunt for themselves. Normally they just need to jump from the sea ice, which is less than a meter high. However, the fast-melting ice in Antarctica changes the situation. In February 2023, the total area of sea ice reached a record low of 1.91 million square kilometers. “Emperor penguins need sea ice for their raising their young, it’s the stable platform they use to bring up their young,” Peter Fretwell from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), UK’s national polar research institute, told the BBC. If the ice platform melts or breaks apart before penguin babies develop their waterproof (keep dry in water) feathers, they are more likely to drown or freeze to death. For this reason, emperor penguins are now choosing to raise their babies on the ice shelf, which is firmly connected to the land. As a result, babies must face the challenge of jumping off a high cliff. Michelle LaRue, a scientist at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, told National Geographic that when the baby penguins reach the cliff face, they seem to think, “This doesn’t look like a fun jump, but I guess I have to do it.” Alarmingly, according to Live Science, the decrease in the ice has caused thousands of emperor penguin babies to die in West Antarctica in 2022. That may force more emperors to make their nests on ice shelves, said Fretwell. “It’s heartbreaking to think that the whole species may be gone if climate change continues on the path at the moment,” he added. 17. Why do emperor penguin babies jump off cliffs? A. They want to travel across the ocean to the other side. B. They are trying to avoid being caught by other animals. C. They are celebrating getting their adult feathers which are waterproof. D. They have no other way to enter the water to find their own food. 18. What causes emperor penguins to raise their young on ice shelves? A. Rising sea levels. B. The rapid melting of sea ice. C. More available food for the babies. D. Bigger size of ice shelves. 19. What is the main worry that Fretwell had about emperor penguins? A. They takes less time to raise babies. B. Their skill in finding food on their own. C. The chance that they might disappear forever. D. Their growing need for frozen ocean water. 20. How does the author organize the information in the article? A. By comparing emperor penguins to other animals. B. By describing a problem and explaining its causes and effects. C. By listing the steps emperor penguins take to raise their young. D. By providing a timeline of events in Antarctica. Passage D Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that the purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be loving, to make some difference in the world. While we appreciate such words of wisdom, we rarely try to follow them in our lives. Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow view of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. A good life based on comfort and luxury may eventually lead to more pain because we spoil our health and even our character, principles, ideals, and relationships. What then, is the secret of a good life? A good life is a process, not a state of being; a direction, not a destination. We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any expectation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness. More importantly, we must know ourselves inside out. Only when we examine ourselves deeply can we discover our abilities and recognize our limitations, and then work accordingly to create a better world. The first requirement for a good life is having a loving heart. When we do certain right things merely as a duty, we find our job so tiresome that we’ll soon burn out. However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling. However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. If love is the engine of a car, knowledge is the steering wheel (方向盘). If the engine lacks power, the car can’t move; if the driver loses control of the steering, a road accident probably occurs. Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life. With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others. When we see the impact of our good work on the world, we give meaning to our life and earn lasting joy and happiness. 21. According to the author, how can one gain true happiness? A. Through maintaining good health. B. By going through pain and suffering. C. By recognizing one’s abilities and limitations. D. By offering much-needed help to others. 22. According to Paragraph 4, doing certain right things with a loving heart makes one ________. A. less selfish B. less annoying C. more motivated D. more responsible 23. In what case may good intentions fail to lead to desired results? A. When we have wrong knowledge of the world. B. When our love for the world is insufficient. C. When we are insensitive to dangers in life. D. When we stay blind to the reality. 24. According to Paragraph 5, life can be made truly good when ________. A. inspired by love and guided by knowledge B. directed by love and pushed by knowledge C. purified by love and enriched by knowledge D. changed by love and defined by knowledge Passage E 请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E、F和G)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有两项是多余选项。 How Not to Be Awkward Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others. This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process. _____25_____ Let’s try to find answers to the questions. Stay in shape and dress up well Sometimes, awkwardness could be due to being overweight. When you are large in size, you tend to get very self-conscious So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day _____26_____ If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980’s film when actually it is 2011, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself. Be optimistic Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. _____27_____ On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive think person is appreciated by everybody. So, smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi” and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely! _____28_____ This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So, in order to change this situation, join groups. For instance, if you are a reading lover, join a book club. Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity of your choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!

If you look sad, nobody will actually like being with you. E. Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too. F. So, what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward? G. Awkwardness could be because you do not have anything in common to talk about. Section 4 Writing (20’） Part 1 Read and answer the following questions. (10’） When I was in school, the class I dreaded most was my eighth grade art class. The teacher put down my every attempt at completing an assignment. I simply couldn’t produce art the way she wanted it. Luckily, I’d already proven myself in other creative areas.
