A wave of memories washed over me. Each book was a (n) 1 friend. A practical question kept echoing in my mind: “Will I ever read these again?” The thought of 2 them seemed too cold, and simply storing them seemed like a waste. I wanted the stories to live on. So I decided to find them new homes. I made a simple but detailed poster for our community board, 3 my books, with sections like “Classic Literature,” “Heartwarming Stories,” and “Young Adult Adventures,” and even added little notes about who might 4 each one. The 5 came quickly. The first call came from a teenage girl, and her voice was full of excitement. “Do you still have Pride and Prejudice?” she asked 6 . When she arrived, her eyes scanned the piles of books and stopped at the novels. A warm smile spread across her face as she picked up the book she wanted. “Thank you so much!” she said, and 7 a handmade bookmark to me. “I made this,” she added. That small, kind gesture turned my earlier hesitation into quiet happiness. My books weren’t just being taken away; they were becoming someone else’s 8 . Later, as I looked at my emptier shelves, I felt surprisingly light and 9 . The physical weight of the books was gone, but in its place was a deep sense of warmth. The bookmark wasn’t just a gift; it was real human 10 — a reminder that stories could spark new journeys in others. Letting go, I realized, wasn’t really an ending. It was part of a beautiful, ongoing cycle. And the best joy was becoming a small link in that chain of sharing. 1. A. lost B. distant C. old D. funny 2. A. hiding B. selling C. lending D. adapting 3.

When the baby girl started to cry, I knew that she could breathe again.” That was 14 Rowena saved a baby’s life. B The Chinese have created some of the greatest inventions in the world. They came up with a way to make modern paper thousands of years ago. The first paper 15 (invent) was made from worm fishing nets, bark of the mulberry tree, and cloth. These materials were found 16 (easy), which meant that large amounts of paper were cheaper to make. As paper became more affordable, it was used for writing on. During the Tang Dynasty, it was made into paper bags and used to preserve the flavour of tea. Today, paper 17 (use) for many different purposes around the world.

So when we found out we’d been invited to play at a charitable event in a nursing home, we were very excited — it felt like our first real stage. On the day of the concert, we turned up early. As we headed backstage, still buzzing with excitement, the director of the nursing home came over to talk to us. “Some in the audience are suffering from physical or mental illnesses. These people have very few chances to see live entertainment of any kind. Just play your regular show, and you’ll do fine.” Soon it was time for the show. The auditorium was packed. But the silence that filled the room felt heavy, almost unnerving. Then we started playing our first few songs. We played probably the best show we had ever put on. As each song finished, there was a short pause. This was the time when the audience would normally applaud. Unfortunately, we were getting little applause. A sinking feeling settled in my chest. We unplugged our instruments and went backstage. Seeing this, the director ran backstage and asked us what was wrong. “Well, it seemed that the audience didn’t like the performances,” I replied, trying to hide my disappointment. “They like all of you. But maybe the songs are not quite the style they like.” On hearing this, we realized the problem. A spark of hope flickered. So I advised the director to give us a 10-minute break. We then had a heated discussion about what to play. Returning to the stage, we played seven songs for the elderly residents. Most of the music was gentle, and some of the songs were familiar to them. This time, the atmosphere shifted — some of them even stood up and danced to the music. With every cheer, the knot in my stomach loosened a little more. Finally, we finished our performance. What happened next shocked me more than anything. I went back to pack up, not knowing what to expect, only to find that at least ten people had gathered around the stage. Several people told us we were the best band to play for them in years. I stood there speechless, something warm and unexpected swelling in my chest. After that show, I made up my mind to have a career in music. I did play a few more shows with different bands over the years, and some crowds roared louder than that night. But no matter how much the audience cheered, I never felt as good as I did on that particular night — I learned that music is not about applause, but about truly touching someone. 24. Why did the band feel disappointed after their first few songs? A. They failed to play their best songs. B. The audience left the auditorium quietly. C. The director blamed them for their performance. D. They received hardly any applause from the audience. 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. The director asked the band to play louder. B. The band adjusted their song style to suit the elderly. C. The band made some mistakes during the performance. D. The elderly showed great interest in various live shows. 26. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 probably indicate? A. The author was surprised and thankful. B. The author expected praise from the director. C. The author began to feel relieved and confident. D. The author understood the meaning of the songs. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Teamwork helps solve problems. B. True success lies in reaching others. C. First impression cannot always be trusted. D. One’s potential cannot always be underrated. C Early or Later Day Care Many young parents are confused about whether their children should have early day care, and there have always been different views on this subject. The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a child’s personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby’s work that children should not be subjected to day care before three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. According to Bowlby, a great deal of psychological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents’ influence on their children’s well-being may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child’s brain is developing rapidly and when nearly all of her or his experiences are shaped by parents and the family environment. However, there are critics. Some anthropologists (人类学家) point out that the love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. There has been a long history of the fact that father and mother did not bring up their children alone. Plato, around 394 B. C., argued that a system of early child care would free women to participate in society. Results from Israeli and Dutch studies show that child-raising duties are more evenly distributed among a broader group of people. Besides, studies have reported that early day care has a neutral or slightly positive effect on children’s development. They learn the benefits of being socially smart, understanding the concept of sharing and caring. They promote concentration skills, which is very important in their learning. There are games where children are taught basic language and mathematical skills through stories and everyday examples. Common sense tells us that early day care would not be so widespread if children had problems with it. But Bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that it has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three dislike leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three almost all children find it easy to go to the nursery. The matter, then, is far from being clearly known, though experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for young children. 28. The passage mainly argues whether ________. A. children over three will accept school education B. children under three should be sent to nursery schools C. the family relationship is different in traditional societies D. early day care should be totally replaced in modern societies 29. Which of the following supports Bowlby’s theory? A. Early day care wouldn’t be so popular if it had negative effects. B. Separation from parents for young children is common in history. C. Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with. D. Studies show early day care has a positive effect on children’s development. 30. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage? I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. C. D. D Because the commercial internet has been developed with so little regard for privacy, tech companies have been able to turn personal data into considerable profits, raising billions of dollars off their ability to collect and sell information about anyone who has wandered within shouting distance of their software. This week, Google announced a step in the right direction-but not a huge step, nor one that will stop Google from continuing to collect immense amounts of personal data. At issue is how online companies track internet users as they browse (浏览) from site to site online, typically through cookies (information that a website leaves in your computer so that the website will recognize you when you use it again). The most harmful version, “third-party” cookies, is the web alternative of a company posting security guards across the internet to monitor what you do, even when you’re on other companies’ sites. Google declared in a blog post Wednesday that it would no longer use or support third-party cookies, nor would it create or use any other technology that tracks individual users across the web. Given that Google is a main supplier of online advertising technology, its change in approach will impact far and wide. That’s welcome news, although with huge amounts of warning. As Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation noted, third-party cookies were already on the retreat, with Apple and other makers of popular web browsers moving to block them. Meanwhile, Google, Facebook and other Big Tech companies continue to collect personal information in large quantities from people who use their sites and services through first-party cookies and similar techniques. The concerns about personal data collection are the same whether it’s being collected through first-party or third-party techniques, said Michelle Richardson of the Center for Democracy and Technology. “Companies may use the information to discriminate among internet users, offering different goods, services and even prices to different users.” Instead of helping advertisers track individuals, Google says, it is improving a technology that assigns users namelessly to large groups with common interests. That’s an improvement, even though it too may be at risk of abuse. But why do any form of tracking at all? Privacy advocates say pitches (兜售) can be targeted effectively by basing them on where the user is at the moment, not where he or she has browsed previously online. Ultimately, lawmakers are going to have to lay down regulations giving people far more control over whether and how personal information is used online. Ideally the federal (联邦的) government will set a strong floor under online privacy protections, but until then it will be up to state lawmakers or voters to act, as this state has done with its groundbreaking online privacy laws. It’s good to see Google move the ball forward, but there’s much farther to go. 31. What does the underlined phrase “on the retreat” in Para 4 most probably mean? A. Exposed. B. Removed. C. Emerging. D. Fading. 32. It can be learned from the declaration that Google _________. A. is developing new technologies to stop data collection B. refuses to work with companies tracking privacy C. intends to abandon its advertising technologies D. resolves to stop the use of third-party cookies 33. From the passage we can know that first-party cookies _________. A. are still collecting personal information B. are blocked by big companies like Apple C. are mainly used by advertising companies D. are less concerning than third-party cookies 34. What is the writer’s attitude towards Google’s new move? A. It is less satisfactory than expected. B. It needs to be more forceful to be effective. C. It will accelerate the disappearance of cookies. D. It has driven lawmakers to make new regulations. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As the higher education sector faces mounting pressures to provide value for money, it’s now often assumed that universities will provide its students with much more than just a degree. Most prospectuses (宣传册) introduction present institutions as being the “leaders” in academic research, student satisfaction, graduate employability and contact hours. 35 Visiting a university “in the flesh” on the open day is the only way you can truly get a feel for the place, and ensures you won’t get any unpleasant surprises when you start your course. 36 Remember that there is no such thing as the best university-only the best fit for you. Before your visit, conduct some online research and decide on a few universities you’d like to visit. Plan your day, booking any relevant sessions, and noting down any talks you would like to attend. Prepare a list of questions about all the aspects of university life. During your visit, you need to make plenty of notes! 37 You’ll start to forget important things unless you put them down. Note which accommodation you like as well as how much it costs and where it is located. Bear in mind that you might not get your first choice of accommodation, so have a few others in mind as a back-up. 38 Go along to application sessions and you can get the answers there. You could even show the admissions tutor a draft of your personal statement and ask for some direct feedback. Ask the experts-not only the admissions team and course tutors, but also the current students. While it might be tempting to let mum and dad take over, it’s you who will be going to university, not them, so don’t be afraid to speak up! Write down what you like about the university and compare it to others. Remember to make sure you prioritise your course over the university. 39 If you don’t enjoy your course, then chances are you will fail to maximise your potential. It’s your choice, so make the best of it! A. Avoid being misled by claims and statistics. B. It doesn’t matter how famous the university is. C. It is important to find out the selection criteria. D. With so many choices how can you make an informed decision? E. Faced with all the information, what you need to do is to get the most out of it. F. The conversations and experiences you’ve had will mix together after a few visits. G. Determine your own criteria-especially if you’re unsure about which subjects to study. 第三部分 阅读表达与写作（32分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 As the saying goes, “time waits for no man”. Time is always against us, and we just can’t stop it. Maybe that’s why some of us are always running late for appointments. But if timekeeping is not what you’re good at, don’t stress. There might be a good reason for your lack of punctuality. People’s attitudes to being on time vary. Some clock-watch and make sure they’re bang on time for a meeting. It is, after all, rude to be late, and if you can make it on time, why can’t everyone else? But if, like me, you want to make every second count, you might try to squeeze as much as you can into the time you have available. However, when your schedule doesn’t run to plan, your punctuality inevitably slips. People who lack promptness have been described as “time benders”. Author Grace Pacie told the BBC that “they’re the people who don’t want to be late, but they have a strange resistance to being early, and they don’t allow enough time.” They assume their journey to an appointment will always go smoothly, and the train will always be on time! Perceptions of unpunctual people are almost always negative — even if sometimes wrong. Experts say: Being consistently late might not be your fault. It could be your type. The punctually-challenged often share personality characteristics, such as optimism, low levels of self-control, anxiety, or a penchant for thrill-seeking. It is also possible people are late so not to be conspicuous and to avoid the anxious wait for others to turn up. Maybe we latecomers should make more of an effort and follow the advice I heard to not “try” to be on time but “decide” to be on time. 40. What does “time benders” refer to? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What are the personality characteristics of time benders? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. According to Grace Pacie, time benders don’t care about being late so they don’t allow enough time. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43.
