B Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose. Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. "I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder". Five years later, now retired and with that brochure (小册子) still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts (折扣). The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. "We didn't want to give the children rubbish," says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members (董事)—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series. Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: "This program introduces us to books I've never heard of." The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. "Some people sit there and wait to die," says Tim. "Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left." 24. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life? A. His health problem. B. His love for teaching. C. The influence of his wife. D. The news from the Web. 25. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library? A. Give out brochures. B. Do something similar. C. Write books for children. D. Retire from being a teacher. 26. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood? A. To avoid signing up online. B. To meet Dollywood board members. C. To make sure the books were the newest. D. To see if the books were of good quality. 27. What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph? A. He needs more money to help the children. B. He wonders why some people are so busy. C. He tries to save those waiting to die. D. He considers his efforts worthwhile. C A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, "How much do you think this glass weighs?" "50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered. "I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the teacher, "but my question is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?" "Nothing!" the students said. "OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" the teacher asked. "Your arm would begin to ache," said one of the students. "You're right. Now, what would happen if I held it for a day?" "Your arm could go numb (麻木). Have to go to hospital for sure!" said another student. All the students laughed. "Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the teacher. "No." the students said. "Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle stress?" The students fell silent for a moment. "Put the glass down!" said one of the students. "Exactly!" said the teacher. "The problems of life are some things like this. Hold them for a few minutes in your head, and it seems OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to make you ache. Hold them even longer and you will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the challenges in your life, but it's even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed. You wake up fresh and strong and can deal with any challenge that comes your way!" Remember to put the glass down today. 28. If the teacher holds the glass for sixty minutes, _____. A. his arm will start to pain B. nothing will happen C. he has to go to hospital D. he will feel the glass heavier 29. Why were the students in silence for a while? A. They felt bored about the question. B. The teacher asked them to be silent. C. The question was difficult for them to answer. D. They didn't feel like answering the teacher's question. 30. What is true according to the text? A. The glass weighs about 100 g. B. The teacher's class is not interesting. C. The teacher is very popular with his students. D. The weight is the same however long the glass is held. 31. What does the teacher want to say to his students in the end? A. Face the challenges bravely. B. Put everyday problems down before sleeping. C. The problems of life are easy to deal with. D. Go to bed early with many problems on mind. D I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What's 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99 =1.Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there's still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn't that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation(等式):1 =0.9, which could also be expressed as 1 =0.999999.…repeating itself without ever ending. There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that's what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can't ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let's leave it at that:1=0.999999. … and live a life like it. 32.What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power. 33. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers. 34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word" paralleled" in paragraph 6? A. Measured. B. Composed. C. Mirrored. D. Influenced. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The work is piling up, pressure is mounting, and deadlines are approaching. How can we still get useful results if we need to make quick judgments and fast decisions? _____36_____ Here’s how we can upgrade our minds. Firstly, challenge your key assumptions. Based on past experience, our mind constantly makes assumptions about the world. However, what saves us time and energy can lead to wrong conclusions if they remain unchallenged. Start by working in a team and questioning each other’s assumptions. _____37_____ You should also consider alternative explanations. Humans seek explanations, and we prefer the one that comes to mind first. _____38_____ It pays to naturally look beyond the most obvious explanations. This is to avoid confirmation bias; when we ignore evidence that goes against a prior belief. A master thinker treats their preferred explanation just as an assumption. _____39_____ They simply refer to the main factors influencing how things have been going or how they will go. If we practice watching for driving factors when we have time to think, we’ll be able to identify them more instinctively on occasions when we’re in a hurry. The master thinker prioritizes the factors that impact an issue the most. Finally, consider the overall context. The master thinker considers the circumstances and conditions of an issue. _____40_____ A few minutes to orient ourselves and reflect on the situation as a whole can once more save us time down the road. Only then is it time to consider the details and incorporate them back into said picture. A. Moreover, try to focus on key drivers. B. Attempt to think about problems wisely. C. However, that isn’t necessarily the correct one. D. This habit involves looking at the big picture first. E. True expert thinkers know the limitations of their minds. F. This collaborative approach enables your thinking to be challenged. . G. Actually, the habits of master thinkers can help in reasoning and making decisions. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer.

However, the 44 of working from home gradually set in. I had started my day with the best intentions, promising myself quick breaks and regular 45 .

Gone were the short walks to a colleague's desk and the quick lunchtime walks around the office complex. Finally, my world was 48 to the walls of my home, my steps 49 in mere meters rather than kilometers. One day, I tried 50 one of my favorite dresses and it wasn't passing through my waist at all.

The 52 of work and personal life had left me feeling like I was a never-ending motion machine. This incident marked the 53 of a journey of self-discovery. I made up my mind that I needed a(n) 54 , not just for my waistline but for my overall well-being.

Food splattered everywhere, and Mary gasped in shock. Peter’s face turned pale with guilt—he hadn’t meant to hurt her. David immediately helped Mary steady herself, while Peter apologized sincerely, saying, “I’m so sorry! I was rushing too much.” Mary, though startled, smiled gently and replied, “It’s okay—just be more careful next time.” The teacher arrived, praising Peter for owning up to his mistake and David for helping. They all cleaned up together, learning that respect and responsibility matter more than speed. Kindness turns accidents into chances to grow. 参考作文2： David and Peter were racing in the cafeteria to get food when Peter bumped into Mary. Her tray fell, and the food scattered on the floor. Mary looked upset. Peter knew it was his fault. He stopped and said, "I’m sorry, Mary. Let me help you." David, feeling guilty, also came to help. They cleaned the floor together and helped Mary get new food. Mary smiled and said thank you. The students saw this and praised their behavior, "It’s brave to say sorry and helpful to fix a mistake." Everyone learned that day: when you do something wrong, be responsible, be kind, and always help. 第二节 应用文写作 参考作文 Dear Peter, Recently, I have noticed that student participation in the English Corner you organize is lower than expected. I am writing to discuss it with you. I think one possible reason for this decline in interest is that some topics are not so engaging while others might be too challenging. To address the issue, maybe you could consider involving students in topic selection. This way, they can choose topics more relevant and interesting to them. Moreover, it would be better if you could incorporate interactive elements like group discussions or English games. This would help create a more engaging and dynamic learning environment. I truly appreciate your efforts in organizing the English Corner, and I am confident that with a few adjustments, we can make it even more enjoyable for everyone.
