A
One in every ten people in the world is left-handed. It is a simple fact, like having brown hair. But for much of history, being left-handed was not seen that way. Left-handers were often forced to use their right hands. Why did something so natural seem like a problem?
First, the world is built for the right-handed. Scissors, desks, doors—most things are easier to use with the right hand. So, when a left-handed person uses them, they can seem clumsy or slow. It is easy to think, “This person is not good with tools,” instead of thinking, “These tools are not made for them.” The first idea says the person is wrong. The second idea says the tool is wrong. For a long time, people chose the first idea.
Second, stories and old ideas made it worse. In many languages, the word for “left” was connected to bad things like weakness or bad luck. People also used their right hand for “clean” actions like eating, and their left hand for “dirty” ones. These old habits, repeated over time, made left-handedness seem not just different, but actually wrong.
Now, we know better. Science tells us that which hand you use is mostly decided before you are born. It is not a choice or a mistake. We also see left-handers doing great things in sports, art, and science. This new discovery and these good examples have slowly changed people’s minds. Today, fewer people think being left-handed is a problem.
The real story here is not about hands. It is about how we see anyone who is different. When we see something unusual, our first feeling is often to call it “wrong.” But if we stop and ask “why,” we might find there is no real problem at all—only a difference. Understanding this can help us be kinder, not just to left-handers, but to everyone.
11. In the past, why did left-handed people often seem “clumsy”?
A. Because they did not practice using their hands enough.
B. Because most things they used were designed for right-handed people.
C. Because they were often nervous when other people watched them.
D. Because they were born with less skill than right-handed people.
12. In Paragraph 4, the writer talks about “science” and “good examples” mainly to explain ________.
A. how to become left-handed
B. the real reasons why left-handers are clever
C. why people’s ideas about left-handers started to change
D. what schools should teach about left-handed people
13. How does the writer organize the whole passage to make his point?
A. By telling a personal story from beginning to end.
B. By giving examples of problems and then their solutions.
C. By describing a social fact, discussing the reasons, and then moving to a lesson.
D. By listing facts and numbers.
14. How many people are left-handed in 1000 people?
A. 1. B. 10. C. 100. D. 500.
15. When we see something unusual, ________ .
A. we should call it wrong B. we should call it right
C. we should ask why D. we should ignore it

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the science of making computers and machines able to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies. AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to check people’s information for their work.

Most drivers may wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars are not able to do this. Car makers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans easily. The system can show what self-driving cars will do.

After dinner, he/she teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world.

Trying zero-sugar and zero-fat foods, young people are now interested in “zero-sugar” socializing (社交). But what does that mean?
Just like “zero-sugar” foods mean a lighter diet, “zero-sugar” socializing is about simpler connections. It encourages young people to respect others’ personal space, cut down unnecessary communications, and find meaningful ways to get on with others. It is a relaxing and free way to make friends and spend time with them.
According to a 2024 social trends (趋势) report, 54% of young people prefer to “stay in touch but also have time alone”, while only 12.6% of them want to “be together all the time”. This report shows that young people’s social habits are becoming independent nowadays.
Those young people who enjoy “zero-sugar” socializing often do simple things, like joining city walks, visiting local markets, or trying new cafes with a few friends. They avoid social activities that aren’t really needed. By doing these, they can manage their time better and know more about themselves. This new idea shows young people’s wish to slow down and pay attention to what truly matters. Young people think the new way fits their values.
Although this new way is suitable for some people, it might not be the best for everyone. It’s important not to follow trends without thinking. Whether you prefer “zero-sugar”, “low-sugar”, or “full-sugar” socializing, the important thing is to know what you need. That’s how you can feel confident and happy when you get on with others.
“Zero-sugar” socializing does not mean “no socializing at all”. Instead, it follows a Chinese old saying, “The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water.” It’s about balancing personal space with meaningful connections. By having connections that suit them, young people can enjoy both the calm of “zero-sugar” socializing and the joy of traditional relationships.
21. What does “zero-sugar” socializing encourage people to do?
A. Avoid all social activities. B. Make as many friends as possible.
C. Depend greatly on friends. D. Respect others’ personal boundaries.
22. How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph 3?
A. By using sayings. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By explaining meanings
23. What will people who like “zero-sugar” socializing probably do?
A. Join city walks with a few friends. B. Take part in large parties often.
C. Try to please everyone around them. D. Spend much time chatting online with strangers.
24. What does the underlined saying mean in the last paragraph?
A. “Zero-sugar” socializing is not real friendship.
B. Friends should share everything with each other.
C. People should stay away from others most of the time.
D. “Zero-sugar” socializing balances space and connections.
25. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To compare different kinds of socializing styles.
B. To tell people to follow “zero-sugar” socializing.
C. To introduce “zero-sugar” socializing to people.
D. To show the disadvantages of traditional socializing.

It was an unusual warm night in June. Susan Roberts had an uneasy sleep. Suddenly, she woke up and saw the lights on at her neighbor’s house. She was more worried when seeing the summer rain mixed with snow.
Her husband Johnson looked at the sky carefully and told Susan to get ready for leaving. “Flood is coming.

To their surprise, the day after the flood, more than 20 people—all new to them—came together to help. They thanked the Roberts for saving them on the terrible night with action. “People went into our wet, muddy basement (地下室) and pulled everything out,” said Roberts. “They cleaned up our yard and took things home to wash.” Helpers even saved her photobook, drying each page. And volunteers kept coming every day until summer was over.

行文布局上,文章开篇抛出“全球十分之一人口是左撇子”这一客观社会事实,接着分段研讨从前大众对左撇子抱有偏见的两层缘由,结尾从该现象引申出要包容人与人之间差异的道理,对应选项C。

Trying zero-sugar and zero-fat foods, young people are now interested in “zero-sugar” socializing (社交). But what does that mean?
Just like “zero-sugar” foods mean a lighter diet, “zero-sugar” socializing is about simpler connections. It encourages young people to respect others’ personal space, cut down unnecessary communications, and find meaningful ways to get on with others. It is a relaxing and free way to make friends and spend time with them.
According to a 2024 social trends (趋势) report, 54% of young people prefer to “stay in touch but also have time alone”, while only 12.6% of them want to “be together all the time”. This report shows that young people’s social habits are becoming independent nowadays.
Those young people who enjoy “zero-sugar” socializing often do simple things, like joining city walks, visiting local markets, or trying new cafes with a few friends. They avoid social activities that aren’t really needed. By doing these, they can manage their time better and know more about themselves. This new idea shows young people’s wish to slow down and pay attention to what truly matters. Young people think the new way fits their values.
Although this new way is suitable for some people, it might not be the best for everyone. It’s important not to follow trends without thinking. Whether you prefer “zero-sugar”, “low-sugar”, or “full-sugar” socializing, the important thing is to know what you need. That’s how you can feel confident and happy when you get on with others.
“Zero-sugar” socializing does not mean “no socializing at all”. Instead, it follows a Chinese old saying, “The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water.” It’s about balancing personal space with meaningful connections. By having connections that suit them, young people can enjoy both the calm of “zero-sugar” socializing and the joy of traditional relationships.
21. What does “zero-sugar” socializing encourage people to do?
A. Avoid all social activities. B. Make as many friends as possible.
C. Depend greatly on friends. D. Respect others’ personal boundaries.
22. How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph 3?
A. By using sayings. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By explaining meanings
23. What will people who like “zero-sugar” socializing probably do?
A. Join city walks with a few friends. B. Take part in large parties often.
C. Try to please everyone around them. D. Spend much time chatting online with strangers.
24. What does the underlined saying mean in the last paragraph?
A. “Zero-sugar” socializing is not real friendship.
B. Friends should share everything with each other.
C. People should stay away from others most of the time.
D. “Zero-sugar” socializing balances space and connections.
25. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To compare different kinds of socializing styles.
B. To tell people to follow “zero-sugar” socializing.
C. To introduce “zero-sugar” socializing to people.
D. To show the disadvantages of traditional socializing.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. D 25. C

It was an unusual warm night in June. Susan Roberts had an uneasy sleep. Suddenly, she woke up and saw the lights on at her neighbor’s house. She was more worried when seeing the summer rain mixed with snow.
Her husband Johnson looked at the sky carefully and told Susan to get ready for leaving. “Flood is coming. It would destroy everything so we have to wake up the neighbors at once!” ▲ . “It was still dark, people were sleeping and didn’t realize the danger,” said Johnson. “Thankfully, more people went to each other’s doors, shouting, ‘Wake up! You have to get out!’”
It was 3 a.m. when the flood came. The small town was washed away. Trees fell down on the town’s main road. Cars floated (漂浮) away. When the Roberts came back to their home the next day, they found their house had crumbled. “Oh, my house!” cried Susan.
To their surprise, the day after the flood, more than 20 people—all new to them—came together to help. They thanked the Roberts for saving them on the terrible night with action. “People went into our wet, muddy basement (地下室) and pulled everything out,” said Roberts. “They cleaned up our yard and took things home to wash.” Helpers even saved her photobook, drying each page. And volunteers kept coming every day until summer was over.
The town returned to normal, but something has changed since then. As people moved in, they were completely strangers. But as they have experienced something hard together, strangers have become friends. With a warm heart, one of the neighbors said...

【导语】本文讲述了六月一个反常暖夜,苏珊夫妇发现雨雪异象预判洪水来袭并叫醒熟睡邻居,小镇凌晨遭洪水重创、房屋被毁,灾后众多陌生居民主动上门帮忙清理修缮,共渡难关后原本互不相识的邻里成了挚友。
【26题详解】
根据第一段最后一句“She was more worried when seeing the summer rain mixed with snow.”可知,让Susan感到不安和担忧的主要原因是六月下雪这种反常的天气(Strange weather)。
【27题详解】
根据第二段前文“we have to wake up the neighbors at once!”(我们必须立刻叫醒邻居)以及后文“Thankfully, more people went to each other’s doors shouting...”(谢天谢地,更多人去敲各家的门大喊……)可知,中间空缺处应填入他们挨家挨户叫醒邻居的行动。选项B“他们挨家挨户叫醒其他人”符合语境。
【28题详解】
根据第三段语境,洪水冲走了小镇,树木倒下,汽车漂浮。当Roberts夫妇回到家时,发现房子已经“crumbled”,随后Susan哭喊“哦,我的房子!”。由此推断房子被洪水摧毁了,crumbled意为“坍塌、破碎”,与选项A“Fallen apart”(散架、坍塌)意思相近。
【29题详解】
根据文章第四段,Roberts夫妇在灾前救了邻居,灾后邻居们又反过来帮助Roberts夫妇清理家园。这种善行得到回报的过程体现了“善有善报”的道理,即选项B“What goes around comes around”。
【30题详解】
文章最后一段提到“陌生人变成了朋友”,大家共同经历了困难,邻里之间充满了温情和支持。在这种团结互助的氛围下,邻居最可能说的话是强调大家在一起、不孤单的选项C“We are never alone”(我们从不孤单)。
