B A few years ago,I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City,watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions.A teacher read out numbers-74,470,70,809 and 98,402-and Stevenson added them in her head.For each question,she closed her eyes,and then the fingers of her right hand began to move.She answered most of the questions correctly. 3 The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus ()Stevenson used a practice called the "mental abacus",imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work out the problems. From watching Stevenson,I knew that acquiring a skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads ()so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills.I was one of the many who had some math doubts and felt a touch of fear.My normal solution was escape,and if I had to calculate something,I would go online. Then after a few abacus classes and a goud amount of practice,math seemed a little less frightening.I didn't become Euclid,founder of geometry ()but the practice reduced my fear.Confidence grows easily on the device,and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study.Part of the reason,it seems,is that practice and results appear to go hand in hand. My kids gained much as well.My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once confused her,while my older child took her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teachers. These were just small successes for them,but that was how they finally developed confidence. 24.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To prove the difficulty of math. B.To introduce the topic of the abacus. C.To show the cleverness of Stevenson. D.To stress the importance of abacus learning. 25.What do we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A.He was weak in math. B.He was good at computers. C.He regarded math as useful. D.IIc had a close relationship with kids. 26.What did the author realize from his learning experience? A.All roads lead to Rome. B.It's never too late to learn. C.Faith can move mountains D.Practice makes perfect. 27.What is the best title for the text? A.The Secret to My Success B.A Rough Ride-Learning Math C.The Power of Learning the Abacus D.T'he Abacus-an Ancient Technology C When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more.than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)？ These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime. Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter(29%)rely only on their smartphones according to a survey ()Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket-19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent kcep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category. More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor ()-only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn't the only factor;I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household. Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest the only pcople who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun out of it). How-attached are you to your landline?How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries? 28.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones? A.Their target users. B.Their wide popularity. C Their major functions. D.Their complex design. 29.What does the underlinied word "concede"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Admit. B.Argue. C.Rrmember. D.Remark. 30.What can we say about Baby Boomers? A.They like.smartphone games. B.Tlcy enjoy guessing callers'identity. C.Thcy keep using landline phones. D.They are attached to their family. 31.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph? A.It remains a family necessity. B.It will fall out of use some day. C.It may increase daily expenses. D.It is as important as the gas light. D Gratitude is a powerful tool for transforming negative attitudes and fostering a more positive outlook on life.Rooted in the simple act of recognizing and appreciating the good in our lives,gratitude has profound psychological,emotional,and social benefits. Gratitude can significantly improve mental health.When individuals focus on what they are thankful for,they tend to less dwell on ncgative thoughts and feelings.Studies have shown that practicing gratitude can dccrcese symptoms of being depressed and anxious.This shift in focus can help reframe one's mindset,promoting a more positive outlook. Emotionally,gratitude fosters a sense of well-being and contentment.By acknowledging the positive aspects of life,people can have less feelings of envy,resentment,and regret.This emotional shift can lead to increased happiness and satisfaction.Furthermore,gratitude helps individuals build emotional strength,enabling them to better cope with stress and adversity. 5 On a social level,gratitude strengthens relationships.Expressing appreciation to others enhances social bonds and fosters a sense of community.When people fecl valued and acknowledged,they are more likely to reciprocate ()creating a positive cycle of kindness and support.This can lead to deeper, more meaningful connections with others. Integrating gratitude into our life on a daily basis is relatively simple but requires consistency )Keeping a gratitude joural,where one writes down things they are thankful for each day,is a practical way to cultivate this hahie Another effective practice is expressing gratitude directly to others, whether through a heartfelt note,a verbal "thank you",or a small act of kindness. Most importantly,scan your thoughts.Do they showcase negativity or scarcity?If so,stop. Consider something for which you are grateful in that moment.That thought will begin a shift in your awareness.Do it again.By the third grateful thought,you will be likely to have many more that naturally follow.Youhave now shifted your thinking from negative to positive,and as you stay in that flow,your mood will shift too.Gratitude is a simple yet powerful practice,which holds the potential to transform lives and cultivate a more positive,fulfilling existence. 32.What does the underlined phrase "dwell on"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Run into. B.Protest against. C.Reflect on. D.Settle for. 33.What is the benefit of performing gratitude? A.Curing psychological diseases. B.Increasing financial stability. C.Avoiding stress and adversity. D.Strengthening personal interaction. 34.What is a suggested method to carry out gratitude in daily life? A.Noting down a thankfulness diary. B.Giving away delicate notes. C.Writing down detailed thoughts. D.Focusing on small acts. 35.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A:People should stop considering things when feeling negative. B.People should never switch to negative thinking flow C.The negative thoughts will naturally follow positive thoughts. D.The practice of gratitude could generate satisfaction. 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。 Understanding and engaging with your cultural heritage (can be a rewarding experience.Here are some ways to connect with your culture and share it with others. 36 Every culture has unique elements like festivals and customs that make it special.Sharing these with others can be a great way to celebrate your heritage.Even everyday items,like a kitchen spoon or a video game,can be seen as cultural artifacts.Sharing traditional tools and their uses can also provide insight into 6 your culture's history and environment.
