2.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
For six years, practising the piano every evening was far from an enjoyable family moment; instead, it turned into a daily contest of determination. Many small troubles slowly grew more and more as days went by. Whenever Daniel, my 14-year-old boy, sat in front of the piano every night, I always kindly reminded him to play just half an hour. “Just thirty minutes, okay?” I asked him in a gentle voice.
For many years, he reacted with a sigh I could easily expect each night. He agreed unwillingly and played the piano carelessly, staring at the clock instead of his music paper. No passion. No progress. He had a rare illness called developmental dysrhythmia(发育性节奏障碍). It was hard for him to feel and copy music beats, which put an unseen block between him and the piano. Through it, I could see my boy trying his best, but I could never quite help him find the joy. The effortless musical conversations that other parents shared with their children felt like a fantasy. I felt like I was trying to move a huge rock upward with no progress at all. My constant encouragement met with a silent, yet understandable dismay. I had quietly begun to accept that music would never be his language.
But that snowy Wednesday night, after six years of silent patience, everything changed. I asked him the usual question and prepared for our usual argument. After I said “Just thirty minutes, Daniel?”, he sat down and replied softly “Okay”. It was a little change from what always happened before, but I almost failed to see it right away. Later he began to play the piano. In six years, it was the first time Daniel played an easy piece of music. It was a children's song he'd listened to on the radio, and he followed the music speed perfectly. His fingers found the right notes. He moved his body a little along with the music. He stopped, turned to me with tears in his eyes, and whispered, “Mom, I think I finally feel the beat.”
Everything around felt still. That short piece of music helped him connect his illness with music by himself. It was the nicest sound I had ever listened to. It wasn't just a song;it was the answer to six years of unseen patience. I held my breath, and tears streamed down my face. With a shaky voice, I told him, “I believed in you all the time.”
24. What did the mother always ask Daniel to do every night?
A. To play the piano for thirty minutes. B. To stare at the music paper carefully.
C. To move his body along with the music. D. To listen to a children's song on the radio.
25. What does the underlined word “dismay” in paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A. Victory. B. Discouragement. C. Anger. D. Determination.
26. What happened on the snowy Wednesday night?
A. Daniel broke the piano and cried by accident.
B. Daniel asked his mother to stop reminding him.
C. Daniel argued with his mother for the first time.
D. Daniel played a piece of music correctly with feeling.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Mother's Daily Complaint
B. Silent Patience, Beautiful Beat
C. How to Become a Piano Master
D. The Dangers of Forcing Children
3.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When I first started sending out my stories, the rejections sometimes came with a friendly line:“Good luck!” or “Try us again.” But one day an editor at The New Yorker, Mary Kierstead, added a different note: You need to learn to write badly.
I was cross. What on earth did she mean? I was putting myself through all this trouble precisely because I wrote well. I cast her note in the bin and decided I would never submit anything to that magazine again. But her words refused to leave me alone. I began to notice places, in the works of writers I most admired, where the essay seemed to read awkwardly, repeat itself, even lose its smooth rhythm on purpose. I thought of one writer who said that the best dialogue should sound a little choked, as if there were more inside a person than could ever quite be said. All my fine words—the clever images, the careful little alternatives to “he said”—were, I began to see, like air filling a chamber when what it really needed was fuel.
What Kierstead was telling me, I now believe, was to let go of my cleverness and follow instead the natural voices of my characters, with all their silences and hesitations. If the writing was a little plain or even awkward, so be it; every word should serve the story and trust the reader to hear what was beneath.
I still struggle with this. I long to reach for long and beautiful words, and I hate giving them up for plain ones. But I try, day by day, to choke the fine writing off. What cannot quite come out does come through, in the end. And everything depends on it.

A. To copy famous writers. B. To trust the story itself.
C. To use only plain words. D. To give up clever images.
27. What does the text mainly suggest about good writing?
A. Real skill comes only with many years. B. Style matters more than the story itself.
C. Editors usually know better than writers. D. What is left unsaid can still reach the reader.
4. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In Tallahassee, Florida, there’s a high school science teacher named Yennifer Castillo, who reshapes not just classrooms but college students’ future.
For Castillo, teaching is to make a dream come true. She devotes herself to decorating her classroom each summer, inspired by the teachers she had when growing up. She documents her beautifully handmade classroom decorations based on favorite childhood shows and movies such as Lilo & Stitch and posts videos on social media, making herself a hit. She believes in the power of applying social media to inspiring others.
However, it is far from easy. She says it typically takes the entire summer to prepare, and she spends between $300 and $400 each school year. But it’s totally worth it, as she adds, to make her students welcome and comfortable and know someone takes the time to invite them in.
Castillo is also making a lasting impact beyond her school walls, with her masterpiece Annual College Essentials Basket Giveaway. Since 2018, she has collected and donated baskets filled with necessities like sheets, comforters, and school supplies to first-year college students. “I started this giveaway because I know firsthand how tough it can be to start college without the basics.” Castillo says, drawing from her own story. Her mission is clear: to reduce financial burdens and remind them they’re never alone. This year, she’s invited the world to join her through a GoFundMe campaign, expanding the ripple (连锁反应) of kindness.
As Castillo puts it, “It doesn’t matter how far you go in life. You can always give back to your community. If everyone does just one act of kindness, the world will be a better place.”

5.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
What would you do if you encountered a homeless person on the street? Most people, caught in the rush of daily life, would look away, walk faster, or hold their bags tightly. Some might drop a few coins into a cup, but rarely stop to talk or even make eye contact. Brian Peterson used to be one of them.
One evening, Peterson was completely lost in a book, feeling as if the words were speaking directly to his heart, when the loud and familiar singing from the street outside broke the silence. In the past, he would have closed the window, ignoring it. But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. He learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris, a musician from Kentucky who came to California to chase his dream, yet ended up living on the street for a decade.
Inspired by Faris’s story, Peterson, an art school graduate, offered to paint his portrait. This small gesture gave birth to Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization devoted to painting portraits of unhoused individuals. Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories.
As public interest in the portraits grew, Peterson, the founder of the organization, began selling the large, signed paintings for thousands of dollars. Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. Some used the funds for food or medical care, while Faris used his to record an album and continue the musical career.
Over eight years, the project expanded. What began with a simple conversation has grown into Faces of Mankind, a nationwide collective of artists. It turns out that true kindness can turn invisible souls into visible hope.
24. What is people’s general attitude toward the homeless?
A. Doubtful. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Unconcerned.
25. What can be the title of the book mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Love Does: Hope from Street B. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
C. Life Has Ups and Downs D. The Secret of an Artist: A Must-Have
26. What is the feature of Peterson’s paintings?
A. Capturing people’s inner worlds. B. Reflecting people’s social position.
C. Applying pencil-drawing styles. D. Expressing artists’ personal feelings.
27. How does Faces of Santa Ana help the homeless?
A. It teaches painting skills. B. It records albums for them.
C. It provides funding support. D. It collects money from the public.
6.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Some people find their purpose by chance, while others grow into it. For Alyssa RaeTootle, the owner and creative mind behind A. R. T Photography, her passion for capturing life’s rawest, most unfiltered (未加滤镜的) moments was planted early and bloomed naturally into the career for which she was meant.
Born and raised in Statesboro, Alyssa’s love for photography started at home. Her mother was rarely seen without a camera in hand. At just 12 Alyssa was gifted her first camera. Her world shifted, suddenly everything became an adventure worth documenting. As she grew older, her natural curiosity and love for people were woven into her art. Photography became the perfect marriage between her adventurous spirit and her gift of making others feel seen, and what once was a passion project gradually turned into something much bigger: a career rooted in storytelling and service.

Still, no journey is without challenges. For Alyssa, the hardest part of becoming a photographer wasn’t the art itself but combining artistic work with business demands. “There are days where you just have to weigh the pros and cons of a situation and go with the flow,” she said.
Looking ahead, Alyssa has an ambition: building A. R. T Photography into a more established and trusted local brand in Statesboro and beyond. But more than anything, she wants her work to continue to inspire others to slow down and notice the small beauty in their own lives, passions and paths—those hidden gems (宝石) that are so often overlooked.
