We never spoke, yet his presence slowly became part of my routine. He always arrived early and watched the street come to life. Though we remained strangers, a quiet sense of 31 began to grow. At first, I hardly paid attention. My mornings were filled with hurry. But as weeks passed, small details started to 32 slowly. He always carried a newspaper and sometimes 33 to greet drivers. His calm expression somehow made the noisy street seem less 34 . One cold morning, I saw him sitting there, shivering in the wind. For a moment I 35 walking over to offer help, yet hesitation stopped me. I worried my concern might appear 36 . Still, the image stayed in my mind. When I returned that evening, the bench was empty, and the street looked strangely 37 . The next morning, however, he appeared again. This time I decided not to 38 the opportunity to greet him. I realized how easily people can remain invisible in crowded cities. I walked over and said hello. To my surprise, his face immediately 39 a warm smile. Soon we began talking. He had lived here for decades. Since his wife 40 , he came to the bus stop every morning simply to watch people begin their day. “Seeing everyone 41 their lives reminds me that life keeps moving,” he said. From that day on, we shared a few minutes of conversation every morning. Sometimes he would 42 stories from his youth, while I talked about my work. Gradually those 43 talks became something I truly treasured. They seemed to ease the pressure that often 44 my mornings. Then one morning the bench was empty again. Several days passed and he didn’t 45 . I began to wonder whether something had happened. Just when my 46 was growing, I saw him walking toward the stop. He explained he had been ill but was recovering. Before boarding my bus, he said something that deeply 47 me. “You know,” he said, “sometimes the people who brighten our days are the ones we hardly know.” His words made me 48 the importance of small connections.

In my world of instant replacements, a cracked screen or a torn coat was merely an excuse to buy something new. This “throwaway” mindset made me efficient, but it also left me restless, always chasing the next perfect object. Last summer, however, a rotting wooden stool (凳子) inherited from my grandfather forced me to sit still and reconsider. The stool was a mess: one leg was shorter than the rest, and the seat was covered in deep scratches. Initially, I intended to get rid of it, but a sense of guilt stopped me. I decided to join a local weekend workshop called “The Art of Repair.” I walked in with a simple goal: to make the stool look brand new again. I wanted to erase its history and hide its flaws. The instructor, a soft-spoken woman named Clara, watched as I wildly sanded the wood, trying to remove every mark. After an hour of my desperate scrubbing, she placed a hand on my shoulder. “You’re fighting the wood,” she said gently. “The goal isn’t to pretend the damage never happened; it’s to make the object strong again while honoring its journey.” I was perplexed. To me, a repair that showed was a failed repair. But as the afternoon wore on, I watched Clara work. She didn’t hide cracks; she filled them with colored resin (树脂), making them look like golden lines. I began to slow down. I stopped seeing the scratches as ugly scars and started seeing them as the story of my grandfather’s years in his workshop. I concentrated on the grain of the wood, feeling a strange sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years. It took three weekends to finish that single stool. It doesn’t look new; in fact, the repairs are quite visible. But it is sturdy, and in its golden-lined cracks, I see a beauty that perfection could never offer. I realized that I wasn’t just fixing a piece of furniture; I was repairing my own relationship with time and imperfection. Life, I now understand, is much like that stool. We all carry scratches and uneven legs from our journeys. Growth isn’t about erasing our past struggles to look “perfect” to the world; it’s about mending those breaks so we can stand firm again, carrying our history with pride. 51. What led to the author’s inner restlessness initially? A. Struggling to let go of inherited possessions. B. Seeking perfect objects through constant replacement. C. The stress of constantly replacing imperfect items. D. Feeling growing guilt over getting rid of items. 52. What was the author’s primary expectation before the workshop? A. To acquire advanced skills of wood carving. B. To protect emotional memories of his grandfather. C. To remove every visible trace of damage. D. To transform the stool into artwork decorated. 53. Clara’s approach to the broken stool suggests that _________. A. visible imperfections can carry special value B. patient repair can bring emotional comfort C. preserving history matters less than function D. flawless perfection represents the ultimate goal 54. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Defensive. B. Puzzled. C. Relaxed. D. Satisfied. 55. What is the main idea of the text? A. Family treasures connect different generations deeply. B. Modern society urges people toward consumption. C. Manual repair heals modern psychological anxiety. D. True growth involves accepting past imperfections. B In recent years, scientists and engineers have developed a group of materials known as “smart materials.” Unlike traditional materials, which usually remain unchanged under normal conditions, smart materials are able to respond actively to external factors such as temperature, light, pressure, or electricity. This special ability allows them to change their shape, color, or other properties, making them increasingly useful in modern life. One well-known example is shape-memory materials. These materials can return to their original form after being bent, stretched, or compressed. For instance, certain metal alloys can be easily reshaped at a low temperature but quickly recover their initial shape when heated. This feature has made them especially valuable in the medical field. Some surgical devices can be inserted into the human body in a small and simple form, and then expand once they reach body temperature, helping doctors perform operations more effectively and safely. Another important type is color-changing materials. These materials respond to changes in temperature or light by altering their color. They are already used in a variety of everyday products, such as mood rings and heat-sensitive labels on food containers. In more advanced applications, scientists are exploring how these materials can be used in buildings. For example, windows that automatically darken under strong sunlight could reduce the need for air conditioning, thereby saving energy and improving indoor comfort. Smart materials can also react to pressure or movement. Some of them produce a small amount of electricity when they are pressed, bent, or shaken. This property is widely used in sensors that detect motion, vibration, or force. For example, such materials can be placed under roads, railways, or bridges to monitor traffic conditions or structural safety. Because these systems can work continuously, they provide useful information without requiring constant human control. However, smart materials still face several challenges. Many of them are expensive to produce, which limits their use in large-scale applications. In addition, some materials do not respond quickly or accurately enough for situations where precise control is necessary. Scientists are therefore trying to improve both their speed and reliability. In the future, smart materials are expected to become more common in everyday objects. From clothing that adjusts to body temperature to buildings that react to environmental changes, these materials may greatly improve efficiency and comfort. As research continues, their importance in modern society will likely grow even further. 56. Why does the author compare smart materials with traditional ones in Paragraph 1? A. To describe differences in material use. B. To explain advances in material science. C. To discuss problems with old materials. D. To stress the special nature they possessed. 57. How do shape-memory surgical devices work inside the body? A. They expand upon absorbing body heat. B. They require constant pressure during operations. C. They shrink after reaching target areas. D. They change shape before entering organs. 58. How can color-changing materials improve energy efficiency in buildings? A. They generate electricity through energy consumption. B. They protect windows from potential sunlight damage. C. They lower the demand for artificial cooling. D. They keep room temperatures constant all year. 59. The examples of roads, railways and bridges are used mainly to show that pressure-sensitive smart materials __________. A. can be applied in large-scale public construction projects B. produce enough electricity to power monitoring systems C. are more reliable than traditional construction materials D. help reduce the cost of building transportation networks 60. What could be the best title for this passage? A. The Challenges Facing Smart Materials. B. How Smart Materials Shape Our Future. C. The Working Principles of Smart Materials. D. Why Traditional Materials Remain Globally Unchanged. C In the modern digital landscape, we are reading more than ever before. From endless social media feeds to instant news updates, our eyes are constantly moving across screens. However, psychologists and educators are increasingly concerned that while the quantity of our reading has increased, the quality has significantly declined. We are developing what experts call “skimming minds,” a shift that could have profound consequences for our ability to think critically and focus deeply. The primary cause of this shift is the nature of digital screens. When we read on a smartphone or a tablet, we are rarely just reading. We are navigating a minefield of distractions — incoming notifications, tempting links, and the constant urge to scroll. Research suggests that digital reading encourages a “F-shaped” pattern: we scan the top of the page, look down a bit, and then skip through the rest. This habit is efficient for gathering quick facts, but it is disastrous for “deep reading,” which requires the brain to connect new information with existing knowledge and personal experience. In contrast, reading on paper offers a fundamentally different cognitive experience. A physical book provides a fixed, stable environment that allows the mind to settle. Without the ability to click away or scroll endlessly, the reader is forced to engage with the author’s logic at a slower, more deliberate pace. This “slow reading” is where true comprehension happens. It allows for reflection, questioning, and the formation of complex mental images. On paper, the text remains still, giving the brain the necessary “quiet” to process difficult concepts and subtle emotions. The danger of losing this skill extends beyond the classroom. Deep reading is the foundation of empathy and critical thinking. It allows us to step into the shoes of others and to follow long, complicated arguments. If we lose the patience for a three-hundred-page novel or a detailed research paper, we risk becoming a society that can only process information in bite-sized, simplified pieces. We may find ourselves easily swayed by emotional slogans rather than informed by reasoned debate. To protect our capacity for deep thought, we do not need to abandon our digital devices. Instead, we must treat deep reading as a mental muscle that requires regular exercise. Setting aside “screen-free” time each day to engage with a physical book is not just a nostalgic hobby; it is a vital act of intellectual self-defense. By choosing to slow down, we reclaim the space we need to truly understand the world around us. 61. What problem about modern reading is mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Reading volume grows while comprehension depth drops. B. Digital platforms expand while educational resources shrink. C. Critical thinking improves while overall attention spans drop. D. Screen exposure increases while technical information disappears. 62. The “F-shaped” pattern means that digital readers _________. A. tend to change their usual reading paths B. favor modern electronic screens over books C. browse information without scanning thoroughly D. gather quick facts directly without deep thinking 63. What can be inferred about reading on paper from Paragraph 3? A. It provides a more consistent reading process. B. It supports deeper processing of complex texts. C. It improves readers’ emotional response to stories. D. It reduces the need for constant evaluation. 64. Why does the author mention “a three-hundred-page novel” in Paragraph 4? A. To show modern readers prefer shorter information. B. To stress the importance of literary works in education. C. To explain long texts require more reading practice. D. To illustrate the declining ability in deep reading. 65. What is the passage mainly about? A. The changing patterns of deep reading. B. The approach to furthering deep reading. C. The lasting value of deep reading. D. The major differences in reading styles. 第Ⅱ卷 V．词汇填空（66-70题为单词；71-75题为短语，每题1分，共10分） 66.
