In her century of life, she spent over 90 years in China and trained many foreign language professionals for the country. 　　Isabel was born in 1915 to a Canadian family in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1938, she couldn’t wait to return to China. In 1947, she began to study the ongoing land reform（改革）. A year later, after completing the study, she accepted an invitation to stay in China as a language teacher. Thus began her lifelong journey of education in China. 　　One could hardly imagine the teaching conditions during those wartime years. Isabel tried every way to do mobile teaching. She had her students carry small chairs so that she could hold classes anywhere. She adapted（使适合） her teaching methods to students’ different language levels. Because of a lack of teaching materials, she could only collect articles from English newspapers and magazines. For spoken English lessons, since there were no tape recorders, she would first demonstrate（演示） a dialogue and then have to perform it again and again for the students. 　　Although Isabel retired（退休） in 1981, she returned to Southwest China many times to help children from poor families. She also travelled to places like Inner Mongolia and Ningxia to support foreign language teaching. Isabel passed away in Beijing in 2023. 59. When did Isabel start language teaching in China？ A. In 1915. B. In 1938. C. In 1947. D. In 1948. 60. What was special about Isabel’s spoken English class？ A. She asked students to role-play. B. She used a tape recorder to teach. C. She advised students to perform first. D. She showed the conversation to students. 61. What is the text mainly about？ A. The life of a great educator. B. The useful teaching methods. C. The difficulties during the war. D. The importance of English learning. D D A C 　　Recently, I asked a sighted friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied. 　　How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worth noticing？I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through touch alone. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be visible to those who can see？I have often imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. 　　On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I doubt I would be able to sleep. 　　On my second day, I should go to museums to see the progress of humanity（人类）. I would try to understand the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should go to the movies. 　　I should spend the following day living like ordinary people, going about the business of life. At midnight, permanent（永久的） darkness would close in on me again, and I would realise how much I had left unseen. 　　I, who am blind, can offer one suggestion to those who can see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you were to become b... The same applies to the other senses. Hear the songs of birds as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers as if tomorrow you could never smell again... But of all the senses, I believe sight must be the most joyful. （Adapted from Three Days to See by Helen Keller） 62. What makes the writer start imagining the three days？ A. Seeing natural beauty. B. Asking herself questions. C. Walking in the woods. D. Touching interesting things. 63. What does the writer want to do during the three days？ A. Have a wonderful dream every day. B. Go to the movies on the second day. C. Succeed in business on the third day. D. Read books to people on the first day. 64. ［单词还原］What is the proper word in the sentence “Use your eyes as if tomorrow you were to become b...”？ A. Blind. B. Busy. C. Brave. D. Bored. B B A 65. Which of the following may the writer agree with？ A. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. B. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. C. Live every moment and be thankful for what you have. D. The future belongs to those who are preparing for it now. C D 　　　　Have you ever imagined yourself as the main character in a hero’s story？It can do more than just make you excited—it can help you in real life. 　　The hero’s journey, first introduced by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, is a common idea in stories. Heroes like Mulan and Harry Potter go on big adventures, face danger, and return stronger and wiser. 　　Studies show that thinking of your life as a hero’s journey can reduce stress and help you feel more confident. This can make you happier with your life. One researcher, Benjamin A. Rogers, says, “How you tell your life story affects how meaningful your life feels.” He believes that thinking about your favourite hero can help you see what could happen in your future and what is important. It helps you believe that a new adventure is waiting for you. 　　How can you start？First, think about who you are. Ask yourself: What kind of person am I？Who is my favourite character in a movie or book？How am I similar to him or her？Writing down your answers can help you see yourself as a hero. Next, change how you see problems. Having a hard time？See it as a chance to grow and learn. Every problem is a chance to be the hero of your own story. Then, start your own small adventures. Try something new, like joining a school club or speaking up more in class. 　　Every hero starts with one step. What’s your next move？Start today and let your own story begin. 66. Who first introduced the idea of the hero’s journey？ A. Joseph Campbell. B. Benjamin A. Rogers. C. Harry Potter. D. Mulan. 67. According to the text, what can help you feel more confident？ A. Avoiding problems in life. B. Watching superhero movies. C. Thinking of your life as a hero’s journey. D. Reading Joseph Campbell’s books often. A C 68. What does Benjamin A. Rogers believe thinking about your favourite hero can help you do？ A. Become famous. B. Write your own book. C. Forget your own problems. D. Understand your future and values. 69. What is paragraph 4 mainly about？ A. Why heroes in movies are so popular. B. When to ask for help during difficult times. C. What to do to start living like the hero of your life. D. How to find your favourite book or movie character. 70. What is the best title for the text？ A. Steps to Solve Difficulties in Life B. Famous Heroes and Their Stories C. How to Become a Hero in Real Life D. Be the Hero of Your Own Story D C D 　　阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 　　“In life there is no such thing as complete happiness.
