One day in 2020 he was home building with them when it struck him that many kids couldn’t play with building blocks because of its cost. “Building blocks bring me a lot of joy, and I want to spread that joy to other kids,” he said. Given that some unwanted building bricks may end up in landfills, he decided to do something to solve the problem. Charlie put up posters around his neighborhood, asking people to donate their unwanted building blocks. Because most of the donations were loose bricks and not in complete sets, he used them to develop new sets with fun themes. Charlie delivered the sets to a local Boys and Girls Club. The kids were thrilled to receive them. A local newspaper wrote a story about what he was doing. “Word spread quickly, and soon I had more donated bricks,” he recalls. Charlie recruited (招募) some volunteers, and through social media, the project expanded across the Bay Area. Then people in other states began reaching out to Charlie, asking him how they could get involved. Pass the Bricks, a nonprofit organization, was born. Mailing bricks to other states can be pricey, so Charlie developed a network of helpers. They do what Charlie does but in their own communities. Recipients (接受者) have included children receiving cancer treatment in San Francisco, a boy who was shot while playing outside his house in Alabama and schoolkids in Micronesia. Pass the Bricks has donated more than 13,000 sets to kids in need and collected nearly 7,000 pounds of used building block bricks. With every building block brick finding a new home, a future where every child has the chance to play, learn, and grow through the magic of the building block is in sight. 24. What do we know about Charlie from paragraph 1? A. He had much interest in receiving holiday gifts. B. He showed concern for kids without building blocks. C. He only wanted to give his deserted toys to others. D. He was eager to collect outdated building bricks in landfills. 25. What motivated Charlie Jeffers to found Pass the Bricks? A.

Knowledgeable and generous. D. Confident and ambitious. 27. What message does the text intend to convey? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. One always prepares for a rainy day. D. Kindness highlights one’s noble soul. C Writer Chloe Dalton discovered an unexpected teacher in nature when a damaged Internet cable, chewed by a brown hare (野兔) in her countryside home, brought not annoyance but concern for the animal. This marked a significant shift for Dalton, whose book Raising Hare records her relationship with a hare she rescued in early 2021. She discovered a newborn hare near her house, unguarded by a nest or its mother. At first, she left it, not wanting to disturb nature’s course. But when she returned hours later to find the hare still there, exposed to the bad weather and potential enemies, she nervously took it home, without any knowledge of hare care. She carefully fed it milk with a dropper. While there was plenty of rabbit advice online, hares were still mysterious. Refusing to domesticate the hare, Dalton let it move freely in her home, adjusting her busy life to match its habits. Its simple life reshaped her view: “If I could get this much pleasure from something so simple,” she reflects, “what else might be waiting to be discovered?” Their life together ended the strong focus on her busy life and brought a greater awareness of the environment. In her book, Dalton gives historical context on the human-hare relationship and illustrates how hombly hares have often been treated. The brown hare population in Britain has declined (下降) 80 percent in the past century due to hunting and agriculture. The story provides a peaceful feeling with its delicate illustrations, but Dalton avoids idealizing nature, recognizing humans’ influence on animals. Animal encounter books are common, and the good ones act like peaceful countryside escapes. We already understand the basic outlines even without reading books with similar themes — Catherine Raven’s Fox & I and Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk. But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends? Dalton’s journey with her “weak companion” offers a reminder that healing often comes not from control, but from adjusting to nature. 28. What prevented Dalton from immediately rescuing the hare? A. Respect for nature. B. Lack of feeding knowledge. C. Attack from its enemies. D. Advice from conservationists. 29. How did the hare influence Dalton’s daily life? A. By damaging her home facilities. B. By reminding her to focus on writing. C. By requiring her constant care. D. By inspiring her to live a slow-paced life. 30. What distinguishes Raising Hare from other animal stories? A. Its description of idealized nature. B. Its delicate illustrations of the hare. C. Its stimulation (刺激) of readers’ tension. D. Its focus on the knowledge of the hare. 31. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A short story. C. A research paper. D. A book review. D Shahryar, betrayed (背叛) by his wife, decides to marry a new woman each night and have her killed by morning to ensure he is never betrayed again. Scheherazade volunteers to marry the king. Each evening, she begins an engaging story but stops at dawn, leaving him eager for more. Night after night, she keeps him attracted with new tales, and over 1,001 nights, the king falls in love with her and abandons his cruel ways. This ancient tale from One Thousand and One Nights highlights storytelling’s impact. Our recent research shows that strong storytelling skills can dramatically improve someone’s well-being (幸福). At its core, storytelling helps people find meaning from life’s chaos. Studies show we shape our identities by turning experiences into personal stories. Skilled storytellers excel at two key skills: They need to connect events logically and they must learn to see the world through the eyes of their characters, understanding the “why” of what drives people. Applying these two skills to their own lives, skillful storytellers use the first to identify and pursue what gives their life meaning, while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the “why” behind their actions over just the “how”. To illustrate this point, we conducted studies with 800 participants. We measured storytelling ability through self-reports, friend evaluations and expert reviews on lab experiments where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words. In addition to these assessments of storytelling skills, we asked participants questions to get a sense of how meaningful they found life and whether they approached decisions with a “why” mindset rather than a “how” mindset. Results consistently linked storytelling skills to stronger life meaning and goal clarity. Personality also mattered: People open to new experiences collected more interesting life stories, while shy people used storytelling to balance out their limited social interaction. A strong “why” mindset connects with reduced stress and extended life. Storytelling also builds social connections. By helping people express their purpose and build relationships, stories may indirectly strengthen both mental and physical health. Storytelling workshops, now popular globally, may do more than teach communication — they could help participants redefine their life’s direction. 32. Why does the author mention Scheherazade’s stories in the first paragraph? A. To show Scheherazade’s cleverness. B. To entertain readers with a classic tale. C. To introduce the topic of storytelling. D. To compare ancient and modern stories. 33. What does the “why” mindset primarily focus on? A. Completing daily tasks efficiently. B. Avoiding stressful situations. C. Memorizing random life events. D. Understanding life’s purpose. 34. What were participants asked to do in the lab experiment? A. Share personal interests in a group. B. Tell a story with words provided. C. Reflect on the “why” behind their actions. D. Connect events into a meaningful story. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Scheherazade’s Survival in an Ancient Tale B. How People’s Storytelling Abilities Develop C. Living a Meaningful Life through Storytelling D. Why Shy People Attend Storytelling Workshops 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 Motivating yourself is hard. If you’ve ever failed to reach an attainable goal because of delay or lack of commitment, I encourage you to read on. 36 Any goals you set for yourself should be specific. Studies have shown, for example, that when individuals make daily exercise commitments, they’re more likely to increase their fitness levels. 37 For instance, “walking 10,000 steps a day” is much better than “doing your best”. Some tasks are extremely challenging. In such cases, it can be helpful to create external motivators for yourself over the short-to-medium term. You might promise yourself a vacation for finishing a project or buy yourself a gift for losing weight. 38 For instance, rewarding weight loss with junk food sets back progress. When people work towards a goal, they usually start with strong motivation but then their effort decreases in the middle, when they are most likely to stop. 39 If you divide your goal into smaller steps, like setting weekly instead of three-month targets, you’ll have less time to fall into that unwanted decline. 40 The people who will best motivate you to accomplish certain tasks are not necessarily those who do the tasks well. Instead, they’re folks who share a big-picture goal with you. Thinking of those people and our desire to succeed on their behalf can help provide the powerful motivation we need to reach our goals. A woman may find boring work rewarding if she feels she is providing an example for her daughter. A. These approaches can help drive you forward. B. As social beings, we can use social influence wisely. C. But external rewards can backfire if mismatched with goals. D. Luckily, shortening the middle can help change this pattern. E. Concrete (具体的) tasks are usually more effective than abstract ambitions. F. Support from loved ones can turn boring tasks into meaningful acts. G. Research has uncovered several ways to help you design smart rewards. 第三部分 语言运用（共四节，满分55分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It’s quite common that when a stranger is kind to us while travelling, it’s obvious that the favour cannot be returned.
