It can be the 22 for each child to find their light. I would like to 23 story about it. For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach 24 students. One of my most 25 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We 26 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 27 on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit”. It was a clapping and response song where I sang the call and the students 28 twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes.” Vanessa liked to 29 her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she 30 said or sang a word. One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 31 me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in 32 . When my heart 33 started beating again I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 34 . Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big 35 on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating (模仿) the song we had 36 so many times in our music class. The little girl, through her 37 with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 38 to learn and grow.

The academy provides two options: an on-campus program lasting three weeks for students with journalism experience, and a learn-from-home online program lasting two weeks for all experience levels. For students interested in photography, a special photojournalism track is available in both options. New for 2024, on-campus students will have the opportunity for their stories to be considered for publication in the Daily Free Press, one of the nation’s top college newspapers. Each option is structured into three parts: Classroom, Newsroom, and Guest Talks. ●Classroom: Each day begins with a review of journalism fundamentals in a college-style setting, using a university-level textbook for readings and assignments. Instructors cover topics such as story ideas, sources and research, interviewing, story structure, writing for broadcast and web, accuracy, and more. ●Newsroom: Students apply what they learn by reporting on real news events. They conduct interviews by phone, email, and video to cover a wide range of stories. ●Guest Talks: Students receive advice and insights from journalism experts on topics like radio reporting, media law, and studying journalism in college. On-campus students also visit city newsrooms, such as WBUR public radio and the Boston Globe, gaining invaluable real-world experience and networking opportunities. Through these comprehensive learning experiences, students will not only improve their journalism skills but also be well-prepared for their future college studies. The academy aims to develop the next generation of journalists by providing them with the knowledge and practical experience they need to succeed. 41.

B I’m Thomas from the United Kingdom, working in Beijing, and I’m a shopping addict (迷). The main source of my addiction is Taobao, China’s massive online shopping platform — a place for everything from clothes to books, and everything in between. It makes Amazon look like a corner shop. My favorite is mostly books and different kinds of water bottles. My cupboard has a shelf full of them, many of which my size will no longer allow me to crowd into. What’s worse is that the app’s very clever algorithms (算法) track what I look through, so every time I open it on my phone, I am greeted by an advertisement inviting me to dip deeper into my digital wallet. I don’t even have to open the app. They are available to purchase with just a tap of my finger. Once you make an order, you need to wait. The shipping gives your heart a little hit. Then there’s another little rush of endorphins (内啡肽) when the delivery person picks it up. You watch your package edging its way up the map to Beijing. When the app tells you it’s on the delivery bike, the same excitement as a kid on Christmas morning takes hold as you wait for the knock at the door. Much like a little dog waiting for its master to return home from work. The packaging is eagerly removed, exciting another hit of happiness. An hour later, the buyer’s regret comes. To make yourself feel better, you start using the app once more and the cycle starts all over again. I could blame (责备) my addiction on Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, Taobao’s parent company, or point a finger at Liu Qiangdong, founder of JD, a similarly addictive domestic shopping app. I could even blame Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who started all this e-commerce. “Surely, Thomas,” I hear you ask, “instead of blaming poor billionaires, you should take responsibility for your own sudden desire and lack of willpower.” 46. Why is Thomas crazy about Taobao? A. It helps bring in money. B. He prefers online platforms. C. It offers multiple item options. D. Amazon is too distant to access. 47. How can Thomas’s phone know what he prefers? A. His digital wallet pays for it automatically. B. He searches online when he opens the phone. C. He communicates with the Taobao business owner. D. The app’s algorithms follow his digital footprints. 48. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The author’s expectation of the purchased item. B. The challenges of online shopping. C. The long journey of a purchased item. D. The accuracy of the shopping app. 49. What does the author want to convey in this passage? A. We should say no to e-commerce. B. We should blame Taobao. C. We should be responsible for our purchasing. D. We should admire billionaires. 50. What can we infer about Thomas from the passage? A. He has a strong will against online shopping. B. He finds himself trapped in the shopping cycle. C. He seldom feels happy when receiving the goods. D. He has stopped using online shopping apps. C In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive (过度的) learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes (下降). Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs (阻碍) practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison to a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated efforts, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations (志向). This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis (瘫痪) of over-learning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. 51. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find relevant information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 52. What does the author try to advocate in Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Taking practical action without delay. C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study. 53. Why is practical experience important in the learning process? A. It replaces continuous learning. B. It removes obstacles in learning. C. It holds back theoretical understanding. D. It offers a more complete understanding. 54. The example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to ________. A. compare different learning styles B. show the importance of making mistakes C. emphasize the need for parental guidance D. explain learning through action and experience 55. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Paradox of Information Overload B. The Harmony of Learning and Doing C. The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge D. The Process of Learning to Walk D For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choices based on the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier? In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them. But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers. To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind. Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be — then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind. Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character — and failing. But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” — and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves. 56. From the Mother’s Day card test, we can conclude that ________. A. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver B. most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind C. most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes D. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient. 57. What do the underlined words “them; them” refer to in order of appearance? A. The recipients; the givers. B. The givers; the recipients. C. The givers; the givers. D. The recipients; the recipients. 58. What does the author think is the significance of gift giving? A. Making the giver’s life happier. B. Showing one’s knowledge of the recipient. C. Establishing and strengthening social connections. D. Meeting the recipient’s practical needs. 59. Which of the following is Human and Aknin’s advice on gift giving? A. Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself. B. Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts. C. Buy something that fits the recipient’s character most. D. Be careful not to signal your true personality. 60. Which is the best title of this passage? A. The Tradition of Gift Giving B. The Purpose of Gift Giving C. The Effect of Gift Giving D.
