一、阅读理解
Passage A
In the small town of Millfield,there lived a man named Arthur whose reputation for honesty was as solid
as the ancient oak tree in the town square.For thirty years,he had run a modest grocery store,never once
short-changing a customer or selling a product past its expiration date.His life was govemned by a simple,
unwavering principle:treat others as you would like to be treated.
One autumn aftemnoon,a young woman named Clara entered his store.She was a new teacher at the local
primary school,and her face bore the weary lines of someone struggling to make ends meet.She carefully
selected a few essential items-rice,milk,and bread-and approached the counter.As Arthur rang up the
total,Clara fumbled through her worn-out purse.Her heart sank,she was fifty cents short.
"I'm so sony,"she whispered,her cheeks flushing with embarrassment."I must have left my other wallet
at home.I can put the bread back."
Arthur looked at her.He saw not just a customer short of change,but a young professional,far from her
family,tying to build a life in a new place.He remembered his own early days,when a kind word or a
small gesture of support had made all the difference.
"Don't wory about it,"he said,his voice gentle but furm."The bread is on me today.You can pay me
back when you have a good day."
Clara hesitated,her pride fighting with her relief."Are you sure?What if I forget?"
Arthur smiled,a warm,crinkly smile that reached his eyes."Then it will be a gift from one friend to
another.I tust you,and a person's word is their bond."
That evening,Arthur closed his shop as usual.But unlike every other night for the past thirty years,he
didn't count the day's eamings with his usual meticulous care.Instead,he sat in the quiet twilight,a faint
smile on his face.He knew in his heart that sometimes,the most important transaction wasn't measured in
dollars and cents,but in the cumrency of human kindness and the preservation of another's dignity.His act
of sympathy had not cost him much,but it had given Clara the space to hold her head high.In that
moment,Arthur felt richer than he had in a long,long time.
()1.What can be inferred about Arthur from the first paragraph?
A.He was a wealthy businessman.
B.He was known for his flexibility in business.
C.He was a principled and respected member of the community.
D.He only cared about making a profit.
()2.Why did Clara offer to put the bread back?
A.She didn't like the bread.
B.She was angry at Arthur.
C.She realized she couldn't afford all her items.
D.She was testing Arthur's generosity.
()3.The phrase "a person's word is their bond"(Para.5)most probably means
A.a spoken promise is a form of debt
B.one should be flexible in keeping promises
C.what a person says is fully trustworthy
D.promises are easily broken
()4.According to the passage,what was the "most important transaction"for Arthur?
A.The money Clara would pay him back
B.The act of showing kindness and respecting Clara's dignity.
C.The profit he made from selling the bread.
D.The lesson he taught Clara about responsibility.
()5.Which of the following best describes Arthur's character?
A.Stict and inflexible
B.Sympathetic and principled.
C.Wealthy but mean.
D.Hardworking and demanding.
Passage B
The greatest moral challenge of our time is not climate change or global poverty,but a crisis of integrity.
We live in an age of spin,where image often trumps reality,and where"what works"seems to matter
more than "what is right."This is especially evident in the digital realm,where the pressure to present a
perfect life online has created a culture of pretense,making it harder for young people to distinguish
between genuine virtue and curated performance.
This crisis is not about a single,dramatic scandal.It is about the slow erosion of small,everyday
principles.It is the student who plagiarizes a term paper because they are "too busy"to do the original
work.It is the employee who takes credit for a colleague's idea.It is the manager who blames a
subordinate for their own mistake.These seemingly minor acts of dishonesty,when repeated,weaken the
fabric of trust that holds society together.They create a dangerous slippery slope where the line between
right and wrong becomes blurred,and self-interest becomes the default guide for behavior.
To rebuild integrity,we must move beyond a simple checklist of rules.True integrity,as philosophers
have long argued,is not just about knowing the difference between right and wrong;it is about having
the courage and responsibility to do what is right,even when no one is watching,and even when it costs
us something.It requires a deep internal consistency-what you believe,what you say,and what you do
must be aligned.
For young people navigating this complex landscape,developing a strong moral compass is essential.
This begins with self-reflection:understanding your own core values and principles.It continues with
accountability:taking responsibility for your actions,both good and bad.Finally,it requires the
willingness to forgive not just others,but yourself.The path to a life of integrity is not about being
perfect,it is about being honest about your imperfections and committing to a continuous effort to close
the gap between your ideals and your actions.In a world that often rewards the clever shortcut,the truly
admirable person is the one who takes the long,hard road of virtue.
()1.What is the author's main argument in the passage?
A.Young people are more dishonest than previous generations.
B.Modern society faces a significant problem of declining personal integrity.
C.The digital world has no impact on people's moral values.
D.Climate change is the greatest moral challenge we face.
()2.The author uses the examples in the second paragraph to illustrate
A.how to deal with common workplace problems
B.the dramatic nature of major scandals
C.the gradual weakening of everyday moral standards
D.the difficulty of being a manager
()3.According to the author,true integrity is defined by
A.following a strict set of rules
B.having a perfect public image
C.aligning one's beliefs,words,and actions with courage
D.avoiding any kind of personal cost
()4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a step for young people to develop a strong moral
compass?
A.Reflecting on their own values.
B.Taking responsibility for their actions.
C.Being willing to forgive themselves and others.
D.Avoiding mistakes at all costs.
()5.What does the author suggest about the"clever shortcut"in the last sentence?
A.It is the best way to achieve success.
B.It is often rewarded but not truly admirable.
C.It is a key part of a life of integrity
D.It is a necessary skill in the modem world.

三、阅读短文回答问题
In an era dominated by digital communication,the simple act of saying "thank you"has taken on new
weight.While a quick text message or a typed email is convenient,researchers have found that it lacks the
emotional power of a handwritten note.A recent study published in the journal Psychological Science
explored this phenomenon.Participants were asked to write a letter of gratitude to someone who had been
kind to them.The key twist was that half of them were asked to write a physical letter by hand,while the
other half composed an email.
The study revealed a significant"emotional gap."The letter-writers underestimated how"surprised"and
"elated"their recipients would feel.They feared their words might seem awkward or insufficient.
However,the recipients of handwritten letters reported feeling a much stronger emotional connection than
those who received emails.The physical effort-choosing the paper,forming the letters,and even the
slight imperfection of the handwriting-was perceived as a genuine investment of time and care.It
signaled that the writer had gone out of their way,turning a routine expression of thanks into a memorable
gift.
This finding underscores a crucial moral principle:the medium of our communication can be as important
as the message itself.In a fast-paced world that values efficiency,we must remember that a little extra
effort-a personal touch-is a powerful vehicle for conveying genuine gratitude,respect,and sympathy.
It transforms a transaction into a tue human connection,reminding us that the most valuable things in life
are not always the most convenient.
1.What is the main topic of the passage?
2.According to the study,what did the letter-writers underestimate?
3.Why were handwritten letters more effective than emails,according to the passage?
4.What moral principle does the finding of the study underscore?
5.What does"a personal touch"transform a transaction into?

【参考范文】
What Makes a Virtuous Person?
A vituous person,in my view,is someone whose actions are consistently guided by a strong internal
moral compass.This involves not just knowing right from wrong,but having the courage to choose the
harder right over the easier wrong.Key qualities include honesty,integrity,and a deep sense of
responsibility.
A perfect example is my high school history teacher,Mr.Li.Once,a student accidentally broke a valuable
school projector and,out of fear,blamed another classmate.Instead of simply punishing the accused
student,Mr.Li patiently investigated.When the truth came out,he didn't just scold the student who lied.
He spent time talking to him,helping him understand that taking responsibility was more important than
avoiding punishment.Mr.Li forgave him,earning the student's lifelong respect.
From Mr.Li,I leamned that true virtue is not about being perfect,but about having the integrity to own up
to your mistakes and the sympathy to give others a chance to grow.I believe we should all strive to build
a society where moral courage is valued more than a flawless image.
