I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands shook slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.”
The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?”
People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I… I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but…”
I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.”
The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t…”
“It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.”
He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.”
A week later. I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said.
That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope.
24. Why did the author want to get home quickly?
A. She hated waiting in line.
B. She was eager to meet her grandson.
C. She was tired after work.
D. She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class.

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
Around the World in Eighty Days, written by French author Jules Verne in 1872, is a classic adventure novel that combines thrilling adventures with vivid depictions of 19th-century global travel. The story follows Phileas Fogg, a wealthy and precise English gentleman, who bets £20,000 with his Reform Club friends that he can circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days. Accompanied by his loyal French servant, Passepartout, Fogg departs London immediately, embarking on a journey filled with unexpected challenges.
Their route takes them across continents and oceans — through the Suez Canal, India, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, and back to Europe — using trains, steamships, and even elephants. Along the way, they rescue Aouda, an Indian princess fleeing forced ritual suicide, and avoid a persistent detective, Fix, who mistakenly believes Fogg is a bank robber. Despite obstacles like storms, missed connections, and cultural misunderstandings, Fogg’s calm determination and strategic thinking keep them on track.
The climax arrives when Fogg, delayed by Fix’s arrest (逮捕) in Liverpool, appears to lose the bet by arriving five minutes late. However, a twist shows that by traveling eastward, Fogg unknowingly gained a day due to time zones, allowing him to triumphantly claim victory at the Reform Club with seconds to spare. The novel concludes with Fogg marrying Aouda, blending adventure with a touch of romance.
Verne’s work not only fascinates readers with its suspenseful plot but also critiques societal issues of the era, such as British colonialism and cultural exploitation. Its themes of perseverance, ingenuity, and the spirit of exploration make it a timeless tale for young readers.
28. What prompted Phileas Fogg to begin his journey around the world?
A. A desire to explore new cultures.
B. A plan to escape Detective Fix’s pursuit.
C. An urgent mission to rescue Aouda.
D. A bet with his friends at the Reform Club.
29. Why did Detective Fix follow Phileas Fogg throughout the journey?
A. He wanted to protect Fogg from danger.
B. He believed Fogg had stolen money from a bank.
C. He aimed to help Fogg win the wager.
D. He was hired by the Reform Club to monitor Fogg.
30. What is the central theme of the book Around the World in Eighty Days?
A. The importance of friendship during hardships. B. The clash between technology and nature.
C. Perseverance and the spirit of exploration. D. The dangers of colonial expansion.
31. What does the underlined word “twist” in paragraph 3 most likely mean ______
A. a sudden and unexpected change in events
B. a physical turning movement in a circle
C. a difficult problem that has no solution
D. a small detail that is not important to the plot
D
Soon, people with visual impairments might read regular books using a new audio device. Developed by MIT, this finger-worn device aims to give them affordable, immediate access to printed text.
The FingerReader, a 3D printed trial model, fits like a ring. It is equipped with a small camera that scans text. Software tracks finger movements, identifies words, and processes the information. A machine voice reads aloud. It quickly translates books, menus, and other materials needed for daily living.
“It’s like reading with the tip of your finger,” said Pattie Maes, an MIT professor who founded and led the research group developing the model. “It’s more flexible and immediate than any current solution,” she added.
Developers faced unusual challenges in making the device. It uses vibration (震动) motors to warn users when they wander off the line of text, and audio signals to indicate the start and finish of the reading material. To accomplish this, developers spent three years coding software and experimenting with various designs. They also received feedback from people who are visually impaired.
Much work remains before the FingerReader is ready for the market. It needs adjustments to work on cell phones. The device can read papers, books, and computer screens, but it struggles with touch screens — touching the screen with the fingertip shifts the text and produces unintended results.
Jerry Berrier, aged 62, was born blind. He is attracted to the portability (便携) of the FingerReader. He sees promise in its offer of real-time use.
“When I go to the doctor’s office, there may be forms that I read before I sign them,” Berrier said. “Everywhere we go, for folks who are sighted, there are things that inform us about the products we interact with. I want to be able to interact with those same products, regardless of how I have to do it.”
“Any tool that gives better access to printed material helps us live fuller, richer, more productive lives,” Berrier added.
32. How does the FingerReader begin its reading process?
A. By reading the text aloud with a machine voice.
B. By scanning text with a small camera.
C. By tracking the finger movements.
D. By identifying the printed words.
33. What problem does the FingerReader have with touch screens?
A. The camera fails to identify words.
B. Audio signals do not work on them.
C. Touching them moves the text around.
D. The software is not coded for digital texts.
34. What does Jerry Berrier think of the future of the FingerReader?
A. Hopeful. B. Limited. C. Uncertain. D. Challenging.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Widespread Use and Popularity of FingerReader
B. A New Reading Device for the Visually Impaired
C. An Introduction to FingerReader’s Working Principles
D. From Challenge to Solution: The Story of FingerReader

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。
In addition to being a quiet pastime, reading fiction offers children a number of benefits (好处)
Reading fiction helps children learn to infer (推断).
36 What does a character look like? Why is a character behaving that way? What are their possible motivations (动机)? Over time, reading fiction and answering these questions is like exercising the mind, helping children develop important thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Reading fiction makes children more empathetic (感同身受的).
Fiction is more effective than non-fiction at changing our views about people different from ourselves. Why? Because when children are drawn into a great story, they connect to its characters emotionally (情感上) and end up feeling a real empathy they do not forget when they finish the book. 37
All reading builds vocabulary.
As children read, they see words in context. 38 This is a gentle and fun way for them to get knowledge and develop writing skills. Words are the building blocks of our communication with others and having a strong vocabulary makes that communication easier, deeper, and more meaningful.
Reading fiction can help children socialize.
39 As characters in the stories they read ride school buses, sit in the lunchroom and make friends, they teach children about how people may react to situations and challenges. Seeing the mistakes characters make in stories can help children get wisdom for use in their own lives.
40
This benefit is true of all reading, but it’s an important one to note. If a child is going to take away any kind of message or lesson from reading, they must be skilled at focusing on the task at hand: Reading. The more children read books, the better they will be able to dive deep into their text.
A. Reading fiction helps children learn to focus.
B. Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
C. Reading fiction helps children develop creativity.
D. Over time they understand their meaning and proper usage.
E. A story has holes that must be filled in with readers’ imaginations.
F. Fiction can effectively teach children how to get along with others.
G. This helps develop empathy in children that will translate into real life.
