He liked the new job very much. The boss gave him an axe (斧头) on the first day and showed him where he should work. The woodcutter decided to work as hard as he could. That day, he cut down 18 trees without feeling tired. He took the trees to his boss excitedly. “Well done,” his boss said. “Keep going!” Happy to hear that, the woodcutter worked even harder the next day, but could only cut down 15 trees. On the third day, he tried even harder but only cut down 10 trees. Day after day, he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees. “I must be too tired,” the woodcutter thought. He went to his boss and said that he could not do the job anymore. “When was the last time you sharpened (磨) your axe?” his boss asked. “Sharpen? I have no time to sharpen my axe. I kept trying to cut down trees.” “That’s the problem,” the boss said. Life can be like that. You might get caught up in work, always preparing for the future. But have you taken a while to reflect (反思) on yourself? Your tools, your ways, your thoughts? There’s nothing wrong with being active and hardworking. But just remember, it’s important to spend some time sharpening your skills and improving yourself. 36. How did the woodcutter feel on the first day? A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Angry. D. Tired. 37.

The Blue Book of Chinese Teenagers’ Financial (金融的) Education (2024), a book released in March, shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like. Xia Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said. Xia’s experience is quite normal among his peers (同龄人). A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money. Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial education, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget (预算). A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one. 39. When buying a gift, most students care about ________. A. how much the gift is B. whether their friends like it C. whether they like it D. where the gift is from 40. The underlined word “normal” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”. A. same B. ordinary C. exciting D. dangerous 41. This article mentions the following ways of using money except ________. A. making a budget B. setting a limit C. balancing your wants and needs D. not giving gifts to your friends C March 21st is World Sleep Day. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep. Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to eight hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount of time is about eight to nine hours per night. But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night. These sleeping problems greatly influence people’s lives. The lack (缺乏) of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的). 42. A 15-year-old student needs to sleep about ________ hours every night. A. less than 7 B. 7 C. 7 to 8 D. 8 to 9 43. Many teens don’t get enough sleep because of ________. A. they might do well in sports B. they might feel unhappy C. early school start times and heavy homework D. their bodies and brains might grow better 44. The underlined word “insomnia” means ________ in Chinese. A. 健忘症 B. 肥胖症 C. 多动症 D. 失眠症 45. If teenagers lack sleep, they might ________. A. get poor grades B. pay attention in class C. feel happy all day D. do well in sports D Do you like to make different voices? That’s what voice actors do in movies and on TV shows or radio shows. As a voice actor, Eric Bauza voices two characters — Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Here is an interview with Bauza. Reporter: Have you always been interested in voice acting? Bauza: In fact, I didn’t even think that doing voices for cartoons could be a real career. As I was interested in watching cartoons at first, I recorded my favorites on tape. While watching, I would stop the show and copy (抄写) what was on the screen with a pencil and a notebook. In college, I studied radio, television and film production. What I loved most, out of those three, was radio: using voices in making and sending out programmes. Reporter: What makes voice acting different from other types of acting? Bauza: You’re still acting, even though it’s about doing silly cartoon voices sometimes. You still have to make the people care for these characters. The directors, the writers, the producers—they depend on the voice actors to express real feelings. Reporter: What advice would you like to give to future voice actors? Bauza: Read lots. Actors must remember what they have to say. But voice actors are lucky, because we can read the script there. But even that can also bring a challenge, because you have to make these characters sound natural. The more you read, the better you can understand the characters. If you have difficulty in making a voice, don’t worry. Sometimes it’s not bad to fail. In this way, you can learn how to pick yourself up and start all over again. If you have a hobby or something that you want to turn into a career, never give up. 46. What did Bauza love to study most in college? A. Acting. B. Radio. C. Television. D. Film production. 47. Why does Bauza think voice actors need to read more? A. Because voice actors have the script when they are acting. B. Because it’s difficult for voice actors to make some voices. C. Because making characters sound natural can be a challenge. D. Because voice actors should remember the script before acting. 48. Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from? A. Career. B. Custom. C. Fashion. D. Science. E Learning from Failure: A Step to Growth Everyone experiences failure at some point in life. Maybe you failed a test, lost a competition, or didn’t get the job you wanted. It’s easy to feel sad or even give up when this happens. But failure is not the end — it’s actually a valuable part of personal growth. First, failure teaches you about your strengths and weaknesses. When you fail at something, you learn what you’re good at and what you need to improve. For example, if you fail a math exam because you struggled with geometry, you’ll know to spend more time practicing geometry problems. This self-awareness helps you make better plans for the future and focus on areas that need more work. Second, failure builds resilience. Resilience is the ability to get back up after facing difficulties. Every time you overcome a failure, you become stronger and more confident. Think about a child learning to ride a bike—they fall many times, but each fall teaches them how to balance better. Eventually, they master riding a bike because they didn’t give up after failing. The same is true for adults: the more failures you overcome, the more resilient you become. Failure also helps you develop a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can improve with effort. They don’t see failure as a sign that they’re “not good enough” — instead, they see it as a chance to learn and grow. For example, a student who fails a speech competition might think, “I need to practice my public speaking more” instead of “I’m bad at speaking in front of people.” This mindset makes you more willing to try new things and take risks, which are essential for personal growth. Of course, it’s not easy to stay positive after failure. But there are ways to make the most of it. You can start by analyzing why you failed — was it because you didn’t prepare enough, or because you chose the wrong method? Then, make a plan to improve. You can also talk to friends, family, or teachers for advice — they might have helpful ideas you haven’t thought of. Most importantly, be kind to yourself: don’t blame yourself too much for failing, and remember that everyone makes mistakes. In the end, failure is not something to fear. It’s a teacher that helps you become a better person. Every successful person — whether a scientist, an artist, or an athlete — has failed many times before achieving their goals. So the next time you fail, remember: it’s just a step on the path to growth. 49. What does failure teach you about yourself? A. Only your strengths. B. Only your weaknesses. C. Both your strengths and weaknesses. D. Nothing about yourself. 50. What is “resilience” according to the passage? A. The ability to give up after failure. B. The ability to get back up after difficulties. C. The ability to avoid failure. D. The ability to blame yourself for failure. 51. How does failure help develop a growth mindset? A. It makes you believe abilities can’t change. B. It makes you think you’re “not good enough.” C. It makes you afraid to try new things. D. It makes you see failure as a chance to learn. 52. What is the main message of the passage? A. Failure is terrible and should be avoided. B. Failure is a valuable part of personal growth. C. Successful people never experience failure. D. Failure means you’re not good at something. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 Dopamine Dressing Have you seen “dopamine (多巴胺) dressing” on your social media? It’s one of the most popular fashion trends for 2023. First created by US fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in her book Dress Your Best Life in 2020, dopamine dressing—to put it simply—is dressing for joy. Through brightness and purity of colors, the dressing is aimed at creating joyful emotions for people. Science has long shown that different colors can affect people. They could make us feel warmer or cooler and also affect our feelings. For example, bright colors can make people feel lively. Colors like black, white and grey may bring a sense of sadness instead. Learning how colors work, fashion brands have also used colors in different ways. For example, Versace, an Italian brand, added the idea of dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021. It said, “This can spread fun and positive energy to the world through fashion.” In the last few years, the pandemic has put everything into question. “Usually, we’re dressing for external factors—the weather, other people and special events. During the pandemic, there was a change. Since no one was around to tell you what to wear, you let yourself find styles that make you happy.” Karen told TODAY. Now, many people take this style to fight back bad feelings and show themselves. “I’ve seen people who are very shy put on colorful clothes and become ... free,” Karen said. “Their whole mood changes when they wear clothes that show who they really are.” 53.
