Here’s a selection of bookstores we love writing about. Books on Main Books on Main feels like you’re reading inside a tree house in Wisconsin’s forest. It opened in June 2023. Local residents have a welcoming place decorated with wood, leaves and comfortable furniture to gather and discover new and beloved books. Off the Beaten Path Bookstore First opened more than 30 years ago, Off the Beaten Path has been through three sets of owners and three locations. Current owners Mike and Danielle Skov say one thing has never changed: The promise to be a welcoming and inclusive (包容广泛的) space. They partner with local schools, libraries and nonprofits to reach as much of the community as possible. Changing Hands Bookstore Too popular to be called a hidden gem (宝石), this Arizona jewel recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. It first opened in a 500-square-foot space in 1974. It hosts author events and poetry discussion groups, and offers a trade counter where customers can bring gently used books for store credit. The Last Chapter Book Shop The Last Chapter is an all-romance bookstore in Chicago that opened in 2023. The store hosts author events along with community mixers like Blind Date with a Book, where you wrap one of your favorite books and “trade” it with a fellow book fan in the hope of finding a new favorite and a new friend. 21. Why is Off the Beaten Path Bookstore different from other bookstores? A. It collects gently used books. B. It creates a welcoming atmosphere. C. It works with local schools. D. It remains in the same place. 22. Which bookstore has the longest history? A. The Last Chapter Book Shop. B. Books on Main. C. Off the Beaten Path Bookstore. D. Changing Hands Bookstore. 23. What can people do at Blind Date with a Book? A. Buy their favorite books. B. Exchange books with book-lovers. C. Receive wrapped gifts. D. Communicate with authors. B Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. Parents think about how fun it will be at first to take their kids to see Santa, or tell them gifts are on their way from Santa, but this comes with a series of annoying questions about Mr. Claus like how he makes it to all the houses in one night, as well as the broken trust after revealing the truth. I didn’t want that. You may think that our Christmases were rigid, stuffy, and without any warmth or magic. I don’t think so. Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas. Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. Netflix’s 2021 movie “A Boy Called Christmas” is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive. The month of December is filled with movie and game nights, plays and concerts. These family traditions have added flavor to my kids’ entire childhood. Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well beyond just one day — and that magic, wonder and awe can happen any time with family, especially if we remain generous and grateful. My kids are older now, and they’re glad they didn’t believe the myth of Santa. It was one fewer bad memory for them, one fewer blow to their innocent childhood. 24. What is special for the author’s family’s Christmas time? A. Appreciating Christmas lights. B. Leaving out visiting Santa Claus. C. Unlocking secrets of Santa Claus. D. Helping Santa Claus deliver gifts. 25. What does the author want to convey to her kids in paragraph 3? A. Generosity comes from reality. B. Warmth counts to Christmas. C. St. Nicholas is an unsung hero. D. Santa myth will break kids’ trust. 26. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “the magic of Christmas”? A. To prove that the Santa myth is not necessary for Christmas. B. To explain why family entertainments are popular in December. C. To show that Christmas is the most magical festival for families. D. To stress that shared family time is the core of Christmas’ charm. 27. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Rigid but caring. B. Generous and devoted. C. Distant but unconventional. D. Thoughtful and wise. C It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder. Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting. Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with aim so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time — or even pick up new pursuits — as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month. Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. While leisure crafting requires efforts and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should better-not replace-other forms of relaxation. A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant. 28. What kind of situation is described in the first paragraph? A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend. C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future. 29. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting? A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time. C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies. 30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting? A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples. 31. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4? A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals. B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting. C. To explain why effort is vital for success. D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency. D Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right. The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries. The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses—mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls. The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world. The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said. The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song. When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries. 32. What did the participants do in the first study? A. They distinguished functions of the songs. B. They identified the cultural origins of the songs. C. They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs. D. They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers. 33. What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Were equal to. B. Were similar to. C. Were superior to. D. Were opposite to. 34. Why did the researchers carry out the second study? A. To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience. B. To collect more diverse songs from various cultures. C. To confirm the surprising results from the first one. D. To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings. 35. What can we learn from the two studies? A. Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B. Something about music might be universal. C. Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D. Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features. 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 adults in your life play an important role in shaping the person you are. Through their encouragement and guidance, they help you to flourish, learn, and grow. Sometimes, though, you might forget your appreciation for them. 36 At these moments, it’s hard not to focus on everything they’re doing ‘wrong’, but there are ways to reset and remind yourself of what you value about them. ● Keep talking. It’s easy to lock yourself away when you’re upset with your parents or after an argument. It’s normal for healthy relationships to break down occasionally. 37 The key to communicating well is to be open about your feelings but try not to use your words to wound or punish. ● Why appreciation matters. Life isn’t always easy. But by looking for things to feel grateful for, you can reflect on the positives in life, even in the toughest times. 38 Building an attitude of gratitude takes time and practice. Noticing all the good that your parents do will not only build and improve relationships, but create a positive cycle, where everyone feels that their efforts are acknowledged. ● 39 It might also help to keep in mind that even though the adults in your life can seem all-knowing, they’re actually just ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses. 40 Often, they’re only trying to protect and guide you. This can feel annoying when you want to lead your own life and make your own choices. But good communication is about compromise and can take a bit of practice. Remember that your parents are learning, too! A. That’s not to say this is easy. B. Grow together with your parents. C. Parents always have the final say. D. It is likely that your parents are doing their best. E. Showing appreciation doesn’t require great efforts. F. It’s the making-up and repairing part that’s important. G. There might also be times when your relationship comes under extra pressure. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Karen was a 16-year-old college freshman in a local university.

The wind blew cool against her cheeks. She was five years old, and, at that moment, being mad at her eleven-year-old brother, David. “How could he have been so mean?” she asked herself, remembering how he had made a face and called her a “big baby” at the breakfast table. “He hates me,” she thought, “just because I took the last cake out from under his nose. He hates me” The swing carried her up so high that she could see for miles. It was fun looking down at the farmyard below. Her red sweater flashed brightly in the morning sunlight. She stopped thinking about being mad at her brother and started to sing a swinging song. On a distant hill behind the swing, a huge bull with long, sharp horns (角) and big, heavy hooves (牛蹄) watched the red sweater flashing in the sunlight. The bull had broken out of his grassland. He was in a bad mood and ready to rush at anything that moved. Then he lowered his massive head and began moving across the field toward the red sweater he saw swinging back and forth beneath the tall tree. Meanwhile, David was in the barnyard (仓院), feeding the chickens. He looked out and saw his little sister on the swing. “Sisters are a pain in the neck,” he thought. Then suddenly he saw the bull rushing across the field, heading straight for his sister. Without a second thought, David screamed as loudly as he could, “Look out behind you! Get out of there! Run” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 His sister didn’t hear him. __________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the bull rushed at the place where his sister had been. _______________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
