Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends, he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.
“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
In 2019, Andy met his new business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.
When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing, then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.”
4. Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age?
A. Because he could earn some pocket money.
B. Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.
C. Because his parents could help with his study.
D. Because he could get access to the Internet.
5. What does paragraph 3 talk about?
A. A new online business model. B. Results of working impatiently.
C. Difficulties in Andy’s career. D. Andy’s tense family relationship.
6. What does Andy think contributes to his success?
A. His part-time job experience in retail. B. Lessons learned from his failures.
C. Gaining other people’s trust. D. Focusing on one thing at a time.
7. Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality?
A. Motivated and open-minded. B. Committed and generous.
C. Creative and faithful. D. Hard-working and sociable.
C
You will probably spot people showing their shiny lives online: sunsets during vacations, perfectly delicate meals, and broad smiles in photos. People prepare those carefully to make themselves look successful or happy. But few notice a quiet change: the “you” online is more and more different from the “you” in real life. Psychologists say this rift of identity is changing how we view ourselves and connect with others. It makes the line between “show” and “real life” unclear, and soon we may not know which “you” is real.
As you age, the pressure to “perform” online gets stronger. Teens who grew up with social media often act as different people. For instance, they may be a “hard-working student” for parents, a “cool rebel (叛逆者) ” for friends, and a “considerate person” for strangers. Randy, 17, from London, calls this “switching masks”. “I have three Instagram accounts — one for family, one for school, and one for random chatter,” she says. Recent studies prove this constant switching makes teens 40% more anxious since it’s definitely hard for them to have one steady identity.
Worse still, this “show” doesn’t stop when you switch off the app. If you spend years acting like a “happy person” online, you start comparing your real life to that. Maria, a housewife in Toronto, deleted her Facebook account. Her posts about “happy motherhood” made her feel guilty because in real life, she was as busy as a bee for attending to her kids. “I’d look at my own photos and feel confused about the delighted face,” she says. Psychologists call this “digital division”: your brain starts seeing the online “you” as the “perfect you”, and thinks your real feelings are failures.
The answer isn’t to quit social media. Instead, we should use it as a mirror, not a stage. We live in a world where we always need to “be on”, but the most human thing is to say when we’ re tired or not okay. The division between online and real life isn’t something we have to accept — it’s an option.
8. What does the underlined word “rift” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Recognition. B. Exposure. C. Distinction. D. Consistency.
9. Why does the author mention Randy?
A. To indicate a tendency among teens. B. To demonstrate her struggle on social media.
C. To show the Internet’s negative effect on teens. D. To display her ways of balancing her life.
10. Why did Maria cancel her Facebook account?
A. She wanted to protect her privacy. B. Her life got disturbed by ill comments.
C. Her online posts mismatched her real life. D. She had little time to record her daily life.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Show off Yourself, Say Hi to Website. B. Real You Affect Your Online Image.
C. Online Posts Mirror True Selves. D. Masks Online, Selves Offline.
D
Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.”
Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself.
Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats.
Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic.
Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be.
Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.”
12. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph?
A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics.
C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples.
13. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife?
A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement.
C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction.
14. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife.
B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles.
C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads.
D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To advocate reducing traffic.
B. To preserve wildlife diversity.
C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife.
D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals.

五、书面表达
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was just past noon when Jacob Bell decided to call it a day. He’d gained a dozen fish. “Not a bad day’s work,” Bell thought to himself, drying his hands on his shirt — until a sharp scream cut through the lake’s calm, echoing from about 50 yards offshore. Bell’s smile disappeared. He started the engine of his boat and raced toward the scene, where a boy came into view, crying crazily for help.
“My goodness!” thought Bell. “He’s drowning!” Bell’s mind raced. He leaned over the boat’s edge, grabbed the boy’s wrists, and pulled him with all his strength out of the water and onto the deck (甲板).
As he looked at the unconscious teenager lying on the deck of his boat, he thought, “The kid’s gone!” A wave of desperation washed over Bell — until his recent CPR training kicked in. Just six months earlier, he had taken a first-aid course. His eyes fixed on the kid’s pale face, and he began pressing his chest, his movements firm and rhythmic, just as he’d memorized. Within seconds, the kid’s lips parted, and he coughed out a lot of water.
“He’s back!” thought Bell, watching his face regain its color. The boy was alive. Once they reached the shore, an ambulance — called by onlookers — was waiting. The boy was rushed to the hospital immediately.
This incident drew great attention in the small town, and the media soon flocked to cover it. Reporters came to take photos and named Bell a “quick-thinking savior.” However, he was uncomfortable with the praise, telling his wife, “I’m not a hero. I just did what I needed to do.” “You are a hero,” she corrected him. “You saved someone’s life.”
The “hero” label still sat awkwardly on Bell. He was relieved to slip back into his routine — driving his truck — with the lake rescue fading into a distant memory until six weeks later.
That day, as he was driving, he spotted a cloud of smoke pouring from a burning car, and the driver was shouting for help.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without any hesitation, Bell pulled over and hurried to the car.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, the rescued driver together with reporters came to Bell’s house.

You will probably spot people showing their shiny lives online: sunsets during vacations, perfectly delicate meals, and broad smiles in photos.

Psychologists say this rift of identity is changing how we view ourselves and connect with others. It makes the line between “show” and “real life” unclear, and soon we may not know which “you” is real.
As you age, the pressure to “perform” online gets stronger. Teens who grew up with social media often act as different people. For instance, they may be a “hard-working student” for parents, a “cool rebel (叛逆者) ” for friends, and a “considerate person” for strangers.

【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章指出人们在网上展示精心修饰的形象,导致线上线下的 “自我” 产生割裂,引发焦虑和自我否定。作者建议不要逃离社交媒体,而应将其视为镜子而非舞台,真实表达自我。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But few notice a quiet change: the “you” online is more and more different from the “you” in real life.( 但很少有人注意到一个悄然的变化:网络上的“你”与现实生活中的“你”越来越不同。)”以及划线单词句中“Psychologists say this… of identity is changing how we view ourselves and connect with others.( 心理学家表示,这种身份的……正在改变我们看待自己的方式以及与他人建立联系的方式。)”由此可知,这里的“rift”指的是这种差异。C选项Distinction“区别/差异”符合语境。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Teens who grew up with social media often act as different people. For instance, they may be an “hard-working student” for parents, a “cool rebel (叛逆者) ” for friends, and a “considerate person” for strangers. Randy, 17, from London, calls this “switching masks”. “I have three Instagram accounts — one for family, one for school, and one for random chatter,” she says ( 在社交媒体环境中长大的青少年,常常会表现得像不同的人。例如,他们在父母面前可能是“勤奋的学生”,在朋友面前是 “很酷的叛逆者”,在陌生人面前又成了“体贴的人”。来自伦敦的17岁少年兰迪把这种现象称为“切换面具”。“我有三个 Instagram 账号——一个给家人看,一个给学校的人看,还有一个用来随便聊天。” 她说。)”可知,提到伴随社交媒体长大的青少年经常扮演不同的人,随后用 Randy 的例子来说明这一点。兰迪拥有三个不同的账号对应不同的身份(“switching masks”)。由此可知,作者举这个例子是为了具体说明青少年中存在的这种普遍趋势。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Maria, a housewife in Toronto, deleted her Facebook account. Her posts about “happy motherhood” made her feel guilty because in real life, she was as busy as a bee for attending to her kids. “I’d look at my own photos and feel confused about the delighted face,” she says. Psychologists call this “digital division”: your brain starts seeing the online “you” as the “perfect you”, and thinks your real feelings are failures.( 多伦多的家庭主妇玛丽亚就删除了她的脸书账号。她那些关于“快乐的母亲生活”的帖子让她感到内疚,因为在现实中,她为了照顾孩子忙得不可开交。“我看着自己的照片,会对那张笑容灿烂的脸感到困惑,”她说。心理学家将这种现象称为“数字分裂”:你的大脑开始将网络上的“你”视为“完美的你”,而认为你的真实感受是失败的表现。)”可推知,玛丽亚取消了她的脸书账号是因为她的网上形象与现实生活不匹配。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“The answer isn’t to quit social media. Instead, we should use it as a mirror, not a stage. We live in a world where we always need to “be on”, but the most human thing is to say when we’ re tired or not okay. The division between online and real life isn’t something we have to accept — it’s an option.( 解决办法不是放弃社交媒体。相反,我们应该将其当作一面镜子,而不是一个舞台。我们生活在一个总是需要“保持在线”的世界里,但最人性的做法是告诉别人我们何时感到疲惫或状态不佳。线上和现实生活的分隔并非我们必须接受的——它只是一个选择。)”可知,文章主要讨论了人们在网上精心打造虚假形象,而这与真实的自我产生了割裂,甚至影响了对真实自我的认知。由此可知,D 选项“网上的面具,网下的自我”最能概括文章的核心矛盾,适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。
D
Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.”
Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself.
Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats.
Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic.
Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be.
Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.”
12. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph?
A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics.
C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples.
13. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife?
A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement.
C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction.
14. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife.
B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles.
C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads.
D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To advocate reducing traffic.
B. To preserve wildlife diversity.
C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife.
D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了道路对野生动物产生的多方面影响,包括道路致死、阻碍迁徙、造成污染以及形成生态陷阱等,同时也提到了动物在交通减少时的适应能力和某些物种的适应性变化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. (通过进化,动物发展出了许多保护自己免受捕食者伤害的方法。乌龟躲在壳里,臭鼬使用有臭味的液体。)”可知,作者在第一段通过列举乌龟和臭鼬保护自己的例子开启全文。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence” — a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. (道路还起到了屏障的作用,阻碍动物自由活动。高速公路上川流不息的车辆形成了科学家们所说的“移动围栏”——一道由车辆组成的墙,动物们会避开穿越这道墙。)”可知,道路对野生动物的有害影响之一是限制了它们的活动。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” (他指出,芝加哥的都市狐狸过马路时据说会左右张望。“我们总把道路看作对动物普遍或唯一有害的力量,它们确实极具破坏性,”他说,“但野生动物也展现出惊人的适应能力和智慧,许多动物正在我们身边找到生存之道。”)”可知,从Goldfarb的话中可以推断出动物能聪明地适应危险的道路环境。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” (但这些防御手段在汽车面前毫无用处,甚至还会带来危害。环境记者Ben Goldfarb解释道:“面对汽车时,这些防御方法不仅没用,甚至可能有害。一动不动是最糟糕的选择。道路致死是野生动物面临的一个严重威胁。”)”并结合全文内容可知,文章围绕道路对野生动物的影响展开,依次阐述了公路导致的路杀现象以及公路阻碍动物迁徙、带来化学污染、形成“生态陷阱”等负面影响,同时也提到了部分物种的适应性调整。整体是在分析公路对野生动物多方面的影响。故选C项。

Choose the same day, time and location—and keep it. So everyone is familiar with the kitchen, the space and the pantry.(换句话说,我们必须避免猜测你的晚餐将在何时何地举行。选择相同的日期、时间和地点,并坚持下去。所以每个人都熟悉厨房、空间和食品室)”可知,此处在讲述如何将晚餐仪式化,所以B项“First of all, we have to create familiarity(首先,我们必须创造熟悉感)”承接上文,后文是对本句的详细解释。故选B项。

五、书面表达
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was just past noon when Jacob Bell decided to call it a day. He’d gained a dozen fish. “Not a bad day’s work,” Bell thought to himself, drying his hands on his shirt — until a sharp scream cut through the lake’s calm, echoing from about 50 yards offshore. Bell’s smile disappeared. He started the engine of his boat and raced toward the scene, where a boy came into view, crying crazily for help.
“My goodness!” thought Bell. “He’s drowning!” Bell’s mind raced. He leaned over the boat’s edge, grabbed the boy’s wrists, and pulled him with all his strength out of the water and onto the deck (甲板).
As he looked at the unconscious teenager lying on the deck of his boat, he thought, “The kid’s gone!” A wave of desperation washed over Bell — until his recent CPR training kicked in. Just six months earlier, he had taken a first-aid course. His eyes fixed on the kid’s pale face, and he began pressing his chest, his movements firm and rhythmic, just as he’d memorized. Within seconds, the kid’s lips parted, and he coughed out a lot of water.
“He’s back!” thought Bell, watching his face regain its color. The boy was alive. Once they reached the shore, an ambulance — called by onlookers — was waiting. The boy was rushed to the hospital immediately.
This incident drew great attention in the small town, and the media soon flocked to cover it. Reporters came to take photos and named Bell a “quick-thinking savior.” However, he was uncomfortable with the praise, telling his wife, “I’m not a hero. I just did what I needed to do.” “You are a hero,” she corrected him. “You saved someone’s life.”
The “hero” label still sat awkwardly on Bell. He was relieved to slip back into his routine — driving his truck — with the lake rescue fading into a distant memory until six weeks later.
That day, as he was driving, he spotted a cloud of smoke pouring from a burning car, and the driver was shouting for help.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without any hesitation, Bell pulled over and hurried to the car.

【答案】
Without any hesitation, Bell pulled over and hurried to the car. The flames were already licking the door, and thick black smoke was pouring out of the window, making the driver cough violently and struggle to breathe. Bell didn’t think twice, grabbed a heavy stone nearby, smashed the window with all his strength, and pulled the driver out of the burning car just as the car’s front seat caught fire. He quickly patted the driver’s back to help him spit out smoke and calm him down patiently until the fire truck and ambulance arrived. Once again, he gently declined the driver’s eager thanks, saying softly, “Anyone would do the same in this situation.”
A week later, the rescued driver together with reporters came to Bell’s house. The driver held a sincere thank-you letter and a small gift, repeatedly expressing his deep gratitude for saving his life. Reporters gathered around, asking Bell why he always acted bravely without hesitation. Smiling gently, Bell said, “I just remember how desperate it feels to be in danger — helping others is not heroism, but the most basic kindness we should have.” His plain words touched everyone present, and the small town finally understood: true heroism lies in humility and a warm, kind heart.
