The heartbreaking images of families who had lost their homes and possessions stirred a profound sense of compassion within her, and a bold idea suddenly took shape: she decided to buy an RV (房车) and donate it directly to a family displaced by the disaster. She immediately contacted her neighbor Hillary, who had experience renovating RVs. Hillary found a used RV in Louisiana priced at $6,095 — an amount that was affordable for Cherrie, yet still represented a significant financial stretch. To gather the necessary funds and resources, Cherrie turned to social media, sharing her compassionate plan on Facebook. What followed was entirely unexpected: her post triggered a “chain reaction.” Strangers from various places responded generously, sending warm clothes, monetary contributions that covered the entire cost of the vehicle, and donations of new furniture and essential kitchenware. Linus, the father of a former student, offered to use his truck to tow the RV to the disaster area. Through a charity called “Hope for Crisis,” they connected with the Ryan family — Destiny, Ryan, and their daughter Phiona — who had lost everything in the hurricane. During the journey to deliver the RV, an unexpected delay occurred when a tire needed replacement. However, upon learning about the group’s charitable mission, the owner of the tire shop was so moved that he charged them only the wholesale cost, refusing any profit. When they finally arrived, Destiny hugged Cherrie tightly, and Phiona jumped up and down asking, “Is there a bed for me inside?” Cherrie later said, “This wasn’t just my kindness. It was hundreds of ‘angels on earth’ working together.” What started as a small thought had turned into a huge gift of hope. 24. What made Cherrie decide to buy an RV for a victim family? A. She received a request from the Ryan family. B. She saw reports about Hurricane Helene’s damage. C. Her neighbor Hillary suggested the idea. D. She wanted to sell the RV for a profit later. 25. What does “chain reaction” in Paragraph 2 mean? A A series of connected kind acts. B. A problem caused by poor planning. C. A debate about charity work. D. A scientific term related to the hurricane. 26. Why did the tire shop owner charge only the cost price? A. He was a friend of Linus. B. He wanted to buy the RV later. C. The tire was under warranty and free. D. He admired their charitable mission. 27. What is the main message of the story? A. Natural disasters bring a serious threat to human life. B. Social media is essential for organizing help. C. Individual initiative can inspire widespread kindness. D. The good things happen to good people. 【参考答案】 24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了退休教师Cherrie Edwards看到飓风灾区的报道后，决定购买并捐赠一辆房车给受灾家庭，并最终引发一系列善举的故事。 【详情解析】 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“In late 2024, Cherrie Edwards, a retired teacher in Texas, saw news reports about Hurricane Helene hitting North Carolina. The heartbreaking images of families who had lost their homes and possessions stirred a profound sense of compassion within her, and a bold idea suddenly took shape: she decided to buy an RV (房车) and donate it directly to a family displaced by the disaster. (2024年末，德克萨斯州退休教师Cherrie Edwards看到了有关飓风海伦袭击北卡罗来纳州的新闻报道。那些失去家园和财产的家庭令人心碎的画面在她心中激起了深深的同情，一个大胆的想法突然成形：她决定买一辆房车，直接捐赠给一个因灾难而流离失所的家庭。)”可知，Cherrie看到有关飓风海伦破坏的报道后，决定购买一辆房车捐赠给受灾家庭。故选B。 25. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“What followed was entirely unexpected: her post triggered a “chain reaction.” Strangers from various places responded generously, sending warm clothes, monetary contributions that covered the entire cost of the vehicle, and donations of new furniture and essential kitchenware. (接下来的事情完全出乎意料：她的帖子引发了一场“chain reaction”。来自各地的陌生人慷慨回应，寄来了保暖衣物、覆盖了车辆全部费用的捐款，以及新家具和基本厨房用品的捐赠。)”可知，Cherrie的帖子引发了来自各地的陌生人的慷慨回应，形成了一系列善举的连锁反应，故chain reaction指的是“一系列相互关联的善举”。故选A。 26. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, upon learning about the group’s charitable mission, the owner of the tire shop was so moved that he charged them only the wholesale cost, refusing any profit. (然而，当得知这个团队的慈善使命后，轮胎店老板深受感动，只按成本价收费，拒绝任何利润。)”可知，轮胎店老板只按成本价收费是因为他钦佩他们的慈善使命。故选D。 27. 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是最后一段中“Cherrie later said, “This wasn’t just my kindness. It was hundreds of ‘angels on earth’ working together.” What started as a small thought had turned into a huge gift of hope. (Cherrie后来说：“这不仅仅是我的善意。这是数百个‘地上的天使’共同努力的结果。”一个起初小小的想法最终变成了一份巨大的希望礼物。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Cherrie的善举激发了广泛的善意，形成了一系列的善行，因此文章的主要信息是个人的善举可以激发广泛的善意。故选C。 C（新考向） Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame we often do everything possible to avoid it. “We’re taught from our earliest days that if you quit something, it means you’re a failure,” says the psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently. Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there’s the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it’s not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed. Quitting, often happens in situations where we’re unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you’ve jumped into a new relationship before you’re ready - and, as a result, you’re operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack, so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol (应激激素皮质醇), which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability. Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets - someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects (研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ - an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it’s a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that’s not quite right can help you get back on track. 28. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both ______. A. guilty and ashamed. B. stupid and enthusiastic. C. troubled and hopeful. D. inspired and determined. 29. The phrase “take a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “______”. A. develop mental adaptability. B. bring about changes. C. keep up the pressure. D. have a bad effect. 30. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for ______. A. helping people find what truly suits them in career. B. telling capable employees from inadequate ones. C. training employees to acquire different working skills. D. providing people with opportunities to have a role play. 31. It can be concluded from the passage that ______. A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow. B. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen. C. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol. D. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure. 【参考答案】 28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【语篇解读】 本文属于说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了尽管放弃会让人感到内疚和羞愧，但也充满了希望。知道什么时候该放弃是明智的，放弃有时可以帮助人们选择适合自己的。 【详情解析】 28. 推理判断题。根据第二段“While it's not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit，leaving a position，project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities，making you feel inspired and renewed”（在一次重大的重新装修之后，你可能会感到后悔，但离开一个职位、项目或情况会揭示令人兴奋的可能性，让你感到鼓舞和更新。）可推知，放弃是难受又充满希望的。故选C。 29. 词义猜测题。根据文章“If stress is enduring and not managed well，it can start to take a toll．”says Meek.”（“如果压力持续存在且管理不善，就会开始take a toll。”Meek说。）可知，如果压力是持久的，没有管理好，就会要收取回报，即产生坏的影响。由此推知take a toll可以被have a bad effect代替。故选D。 30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self.”（CareerCycles网站董事长马克·富兰克林(Mark Franklin)建议用类似的方法来弄清楚自己在辞职后的生活中真正想要的是什么，并预测未来的自己。）可推知，马克·富兰克林(Mark Franklin)提出了一种类似于“试穿不同的衣服”的方法，帮助人们在职业中找到真正适合自己的。故选A。 31. 细节理解题。根据文章“Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heat is truly leading you”（离开那些不能给你带来快乐的情况，可以让你有足够的时间去探索你的激情真正引领你走向何方。）可知，从文章中可以得出结论，知道什么时候停止是明智的，可能会让梦想成真。故选B。 D（新考向） Apart from their often stunning flowers, plants and trees, what comes to mind when you think about gardens? Providing aesthetic (审美的) pleasure, gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being. According to a study conducted by UK’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS，皇家园艺学会) and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all. Many study participants noted that gardening provides them with a sense of relaxation, satisfaction, and happiness. “This research provides further data to support the value of gardening and gardens for mental restoration and promoting calmness of mind,” said co-author Ross Cameron of the University of Sheffield. Since 2019, the UK National Health Service has recommended gardening as a form of treatment. Gardening improves people’s mental well-being by making community ties stronger. In 2020, the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (花盆) in a community, which turned out to foster pride in the community. People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years, while non-participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening. According to the research, the level of cortisol, a hormone that regulates stress, was found to have significantly increased as well. This indicated a positive impact on stress reduction. Moreover, a study by Takasaki University in Japan showed that gardening helps people feel happier and more connected through activities like family gardening and community harvest festivals. Gardening is also good for the body. “Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn’t feel as strenuous (费力的) as going to the gym, for example, but we can expend similar amounts of energy,” said Lauriane Chalmin-Pui, an RHS study researcher in a press release. Fourteen percent of the respondents also noted that gardening helped maintain or promote physical exercise. In addition to burning calories and building muscle strength and flexibility, gardening offers direct sun exposure, which can boost vitamin D levels and reduce blood pressure. “One of the key things that we have forgotten as human beings is that we’re animals, and we’re part of a system,” Alistair Griffiths, the director of Science and Collections at RHS, added. “People see themselves as separate from nature, but we’re very much a part of it. What we have around us in our environment is critical to our well-being.” 32. What is the finding of the study by RHS and two universities? A. Gardeners score higher in fitness test. B. Gardens can help cure mental disorder. C. People tend to feel no stress in gardens. D. Gardening improves health and happiness. 33. How does gardening contribute to people’s mental well-being? A. It makes people proud of themselves. B. People are desperate to celebrate the harvest. C. It strengthens their relationships with neighbors. D. People feel less stressed due to the hormones in plants. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Magic Power of Gardening B. Gardening for Mind Development C. A New Option for Workout D. Unexpected Joys in Gardens 【参考答案】 32. D 33. C 34. A 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍园艺除审美外，对人的身心健康有多方面益处，及相关研究佐证。 【详情解析】 32.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to a study conducted by UK’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS，皇家园艺学会) and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all.(根据英国皇家园艺学会（RHS）和两所大学联合开展的一项研究，每天从事园艺活动的人，其幸福感得分比完全不从事园艺的人高6.6%，压力水平则低4.2%)”可知，该研究发现园艺能提升健康水平和幸福感。故选D项。 33.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Gardening improves people’s mental well-being by making community ties stronger. In 2020, the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (花盆) in a community, which turned out to foster pride in the community. People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years, while non-participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening.  (园艺通过加强社区联系来改善人们的心理健康。2020 年，皇家园艺学会开展了一项实验，研究人员在一个社区提供了预先种植好的花盆，结果这培养了社区自豪感。人们多年来第一次开始和邻居交谈，而非参与者则在看到邻居在做园艺后购买植物)”可知，园艺通过加强人们与邻居的关系来促进心理健康。故选C项。 34.主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段中“Providing aesthetic (审美的) pleasure,gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being (提供审美上的愉悦，园艺出人意料地对身心健康有诸多益处)”可知，文章主要介绍园艺对人身心健康的各种益处。选项A“园艺的神奇力量”适合作为小标题。故选A项。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Evaluating Sources of Health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. ___35___ Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. ______36______ Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ＂contributes to＂ or is ＂associated with＂ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. ___37___ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. ____38____ Evaluate ＂scientific＂ statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术). ___39___ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life. A. Make choices that are right for you. B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C. Be sure to work through the critical questions. D. And examine the findings of the original research. E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view. G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources. 【参考答案】 35. G 36. D 37. F 38. B 39. A 【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章针对如何对来自各种渠道的健康信息进行分类整理和判断给出了一些建议。 【详情解析】 35.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。第一段简要提出我们要学会分析来自各种渠道的健康信息，下文接着就如何对这些信息进行分类整理给予一些建议。G项连接前后，故选G。 36. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据该段主题句的第一句Go to the original source.(去探寻最初的来源。)可知，本段都是围绕这个话题展开的，D项中的the original research与主题句相照应，符合本段意思。故选D。 37. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。F项与第三段的主题句Watch for misleading language.相关，其中incorrectly explained与misleading相照应。故选F。 38. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由空格前的Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.(对广告中所包含的信息一定要特别当心)及该段中的be aware of quackery (警惕江湖骗术)可知，B项(广告的目的是卖出商品)符合该段语境。为了达到这个目的，商品的广告中可能包含虚假信息。故选B。 39. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由该段中but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us可知，尽管我们有来自家人及朋友的大量信息，但归根结底还是要依靠我们自己来作出正确的选择。A项概括全段内容，故选A。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12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。 （新语境）The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: "Things are working out for your own good. Just give them some time." Those words just stirred a lot of anger in me. Then I read the story of the Chinese bamboo farmer, which gave me a different view on life. The seed of the Chinese bamboo is planted in the ground like every seed. It is watered, and fed with nutrients daily, but it shows no immediate physical response and doesn't appear to grow. The farmer continues to water and feed the seed in year one, year two, and year three. No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. The Chinese bamboo grows to its full capacity within 5 years. Despite not seeing an immediate result, the farmer had trust in what he was doing. He continued to water and feed the plant for four years, because he believed that if he played his own role and did all that a farmer was supposed to do, then he would be given his reward at the right time. That trust and patience is what kept the farmer persistently feeding his seed for four years before enjoying the reward in the end. Life is not always straightforward. Most often, it's not a matter of 5+5 =10 (Sum 1). Life can be more like 2+1+2+0+0+0+1+2+0+0+1 + 1=10 (Sum 2). Both sums lead to the same result, but through quite different paths and processes. To be mature is to accept that things might look rough right now but the story can still have a great ending. We might live in a microwave generation where everything seems to happen instantly; but many things still obey the laws of nature. Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. 40. What happened to the author in the final year of college? 41. How does the Chinese bamboo grow in the fourth year? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. 43. Which is your life more like, Sum 1 or Sum 2? Explain why. (about 40 words) 【参考答案】 40. The author's government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn. 41. The seed finally breaks through the ground and the bamboo grows ninety feet tall in five weeks. 42. To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. (1)According to the passage, to overcome difficulties, we need to do what we are supposed to be doing rather than simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. (2)To overcome difficulties, we need to trust things will work out, have patience and do what we are supposed to be doing. 43. Sum 2. My life is also full of ups and downs. For example, I was never good at chemistry and failed the mid-exam in senior 1. With patience and determination, I made every effort to turn the tide. It was not a smooth path, but I got an A in the final exam in senior 3. 【语篇解读】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。在大学最后一年作者的政府奖学金被取消了，这让他很生气，但是在读了一篇中国竹农的故事后，作者明白了生活并不是一帆风顺的，通常情况下，做你应该做的事，像中国的竹农一样有耐心，相信事情会解决的，这能帮助你度过最艰难的时刻。 【详情解析】 40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段第一句“The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was(当我的政府奖学金在大学最后一年被取消时，我最不想听到的就是)”可知，在大学最后一年作者的政府奖学金被取消了。故答案为The author's government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn. 41. 考查细节理解。根据第二段倒第三句和倒第二句“No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. (直到第四年，种子终于破土而出时，才开始生长。然后，仅仅5个星期，它就长到了90英尺高)”可知，在第四年种子最终破土而出，竹子在5个星期后长到了90英尺高。故答案为The seed finally breaks through the ground and the bamboo grows ninety feet tall in five weeks.。 42. 考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后一句“Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. (做你应该做的事，像中国的竹农一样有耐心，相信事情会解决的，这能帮助你度过最艰难的时刻)”可知，并不是只要耐心地等待就好了，还要做你应该做的事，耐心等待，相信事情会解决的。所以“simply wait patiently for the great ending to come”处错误，答案为(1)According to the passage, to overcome difficulties, we need to do what we are supposed to be doing rather than simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. (2)To overcome difficulties, we need to trust things will work out, have patience and do what we are supposed to be doing. 43. 考查开放性回答。根据最后一段最后一句“Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. (做你应该做的事，像中国的竹农一样有耐心，相信事情会解决的，这能帮助你度过最艰难的时刻)”可知，生活不是一蹴而就，而是通过一点一点的努力，耐心的等待和坚定的信念来达到目标，所以答案最好是回答你的生活像Sum 2一样，并按照最后一段最后一句来解释原因，可以通过举出生活中的具体例子来体现。故答案为Sum 2. My life is also full of ups and downs. For example, I was never good at chemistry and failed the mid-exam in senior 1. With patience and determination, I made every effort to turn the tide. It was not a smooth path, but I got an A in the final exam in senior 3. 第二节（20分） 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。今年世界地球日的主题为“Planet vs. Plastics”，你校将举办相关活动。你的笔友Jim发来邮件，询问该活动的情况。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 活动内容； 2. 你的任务。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【参考答案】Dear Jim, I’m glad to share with you the upcoming event at our school.

B（新情境） In late 2024, Cherrie Edwards, a retired teacher in Texas, saw news reports about Hurricane Helene hitting North Carolina. The heartbreaking images of families who had lost their homes and possessions stirred a profound sense of compassion within her, and a bold idea suddenly took shape: she decided to buy an RV (房车) and donate it directly to a family displaced by the disaster. She immediately contacted her neighbor Hillary, who had experience renovating RVs. Hillary found a used RV in Louisiana priced at $6,095 — an amount that was affordable for Cherrie, yet still represented a significant financial stretch. To gather the necessary funds and resources, Cherrie turned to social media, sharing her compassionate plan on Facebook. What followed was entirely unexpected: her post triggered a “chain reaction.” Strangers from various places responded generously, sending warm clothes, monetary contributions that covered the entire cost of the vehicle, and donations of new furniture and essential kitchenware. Linus, the father of a former student, offered to use his truck to tow the RV to the disaster area. Through a charity called “Hope for Crisis,” they connected with the Ryan family — Destiny, Ryan, and their daughter Phiona — who had lost everything in the hurricane. During the journey to deliver the RV, an unexpected delay occurred when a tire needed replacement. However, upon learning about the group’s charitable mission, the owner of the tire shop was so moved that he charged them only the wholesale cost, refusing any profit. When they finally arrived, Destiny hugged Cherrie tightly, and Phiona jumped up and down asking, “Is there a bed for me inside?” Cherrie later said, “This wasn’t just my kindness. It was hundreds of ‘angels on earth’ working together.” What started as a small thought had turned into a huge gift of hope. 24. What made Cherrie decide to buy an RV for a victim family? A. She received a request from the Ryan family. B. She saw reports about Hurricane Helene’s damage. C. Her neighbor Hillary suggested the idea. D. She wanted to sell the RV for a profit later. 25. What does “chain reaction” in Paragraph 2 mean? A A series of connected kind acts. B. A problem caused by poor planning. C. A debate about charity work. D. A scientific term related to the hurricane. 26. Why did the tire shop owner charge only the cost price? A. He was a friend of Linus. B. He wanted to buy the RV later. C. The tire was under warranty and free. D. He admired their charitable mission. 27. What is the main message of the story? A. Natural disasters bring a serious threat to human life. B. Social media is essential for organizing help. C. Individual initiative can inspire widespread kindness. D. The good things happen to good people. C（新考向） Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame we often do everything possible to avoid it. “We’re taught from our earliest days that if you quit something, it means you’re a failure,” says the psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently. Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there’s the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it’s not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed. Quitting, often happens in situations where we’re unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you’ve jumped into a new relationship before you’re ready - and, as a result, you’re operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack, so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol (应激激素皮质醇), which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability. Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets - someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects (研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ - an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it’s a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that’s not quite right can help you get back on track. 28. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both ______. A. guilty and ashamed. B. stupid and enthusiastic. C. troubled and hopeful. D. inspired and determined. 29. The phrase “take a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “______”. A. develop mental adaptability. B. bring about changes. C. keep up the pressure. D. have a bad effect. 30. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for ______. A. helping people find what truly suits them in career. B. telling capable employees from inadequate ones. C. training employees to acquire different working skills. D. providing people with opportunities to have a role play. 31. It can be concluded from the passage that ______. A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow. B. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen. C. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol. D. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure. D（新考向） Apart from their often stunning flowers, plants and trees, what comes to mind when you think about gardens? Providing aesthetic (审美的) pleasure, gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being. According to a study conducted by UK’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS，皇家园艺学会) and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all. Many study participants noted that gardening provides them with a sense of relaxation, satisfaction, and happiness. “This research provides further data to support the value of gardening and gardens for mental restoration and promoting calmness of mind,” said co-author Ross Cameron of the University of Sheffield. Since 2019, the UK National Health Service has recommended gardening as a form of treatment. Gardening improves people’s mental well-being by making community ties stronger. In 2020, the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (花盆) in a community, which turned out to foster pride in the community. People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years, while non-participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening. According to the research, the level of cortisol, a hormone that regulates stress, was found to have significantly increased as well. This indicated a positive impact on stress reduction. Moreover, a study by Takasaki University in Japan showed that gardening helps people feel happier and more connected through activities like family gardening and community harvest festivals. Gardening is also good for the body. “Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn’t feel as strenuous (费力的) as going to the gym, for example, but we can expend similar amounts of energy,” said Lauriane Chalmin-Pui, an RHS study researcher in a press release. Fourteen percent of the respondents also noted that gardening helped maintain or promote physical exercise. In addition to burning calories and building muscle strength and flexibility, gardening offers direct sun exposure, which can boost vitamin D levels and reduce blood pressure. “One of the key things that we have forgotten as human beings is that we’re animals, and we’re part of a system,” Alistair Griffiths, the director of Science and Collections at RHS, added. “People see themselves as separate from nature, but we’re very much a part of it. What we have around us in our environment is critical to our well-being.” 32. What is the finding of the study by RHS and two universities? A. Gardeners score higher in fitness test. B. Gardens can help cure mental disorder. C. People tend to feel no stress in gardens. D. Gardening improves health and happiness. 33. How does gardening contribute to people’s mental well-being? A. It makes people proud of themselves. B. People are desperate to celebrate the harvest. C. It strengthens their relationships with neighbors. D. People feel less stressed due to the hormones in plants. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Magic Power of Gardening B. Gardening for Mind Development C. A New Option for Workout D. Unexpected Joys in Gardens 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Evaluating Sources of Health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. ___35___ Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. ______36______ Watch for misleading language.

Just give them some time." Those words just stirred a lot of anger in me. Then I read the story of the Chinese bamboo farmer, which gave me a different view on life. The seed of the Chinese bamboo is planted in the ground like every seed. It is watered, and fed with nutrients daily, but it shows no immediate physical response and doesn't appear to grow. The farmer continues to water and feed the seed in year one, year two, and year three. No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. The Chinese bamboo grows to its full capacity within 5 years. Despite not seeing an immediate result, the farmer had trust in what he was doing. He continued to water and feed the plant for four years, because he believed that if he played his own role and did all that a farmer was supposed to do, then he would be given his reward at the right time. That trust and patience is what kept the farmer persistently feeding his seed for four years before enjoying the reward in the end. Life is not always straightforward. Most often, it's not a matter of 5+5 =10 (Sum 1). Life can be more like 2+1+2+0+0+0+1+2+0+0+1 + 1=10 (Sum 2). Both sums lead to the same result, but through quite different paths and processes. To be mature is to accept that things might look rough right now but the story can still have a great ending. We might live in a microwave generation where everything seems to happen instantly; but many things still obey the laws of nature. Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. 40. What happened to the author in the final year of college? 41. How does the Chinese bamboo grow in the fourth year? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. 43. Which is your life more like, Sum 1 or Sum 2? Explain why.

C(新考向) Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame we often do everything possible to avoid it."We're : taught from our earliest days that if you quit something,it means you're a failure,"says the psy chologist Will Meek. He,however,suggests we view quitting differently ·: Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room:you've grown comfortable with the status,and it can be hard to O picture the end result or even see why change is necessary.And yet,there's the upsetting feeling that you're no longer : : entirely satisfied with your current circumstances,perhaps even that you've stopped making progress.While it's not out of the question for feelings ofregret to surface after a major refit,leaving a position,project or situation can reveal : exciting possibilities,making you feel inspired and renewed. Quitting,often happens in situations where we're unhappy,fearful or have determined we have no other choice, : factors that can have ill effects on our health.Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling,or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready-and,as a result,you're operating under intense pressure."If stress is enduring and : not managed well,it can start to take a toll,"says Meek.According to the American Psychological Association,long- : : 试题第5页（共10页） : ©学科网·学易金卷做好畿：限景是普 term,ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack,so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits."We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇)，which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,”says Dr Alex Lickerman,a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability. Leaving situations that fail to bring youjoy can leaveyou with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you.In a study that was published in 1999,then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets-someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers,for instance,was asked to take on personal interactions..Subject女（研究对象）were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through 'imitation strategies'-an approach they compared to 'tying on different clothes.'Mark Franklin,the president of CareerCycles,suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self."Pretend to be a certain kind of person,or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,"he says."Try it on,see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you." It may not feel like it at the time,but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track 28.It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both A.guilty and ashamed.B.stupid and enthusiastic.C.troubled and hopeful.D.inspired and determined. 29.The phrase“take a toll''(paragraph3)can be best replaced by“”. A.develop mental adaptability B.bring about changes. C.keep up the pressure. D.have a bad effect. 30.An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to'trying on different clothes'is for A.helping people find what truly suits them in career. B.telling capable employees from inadequate ones. C.training employees to acquire different working skills D.providing people with opportunities to have a role play. 31.It can be concluded from the passage that A.quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow. B.knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen. C.mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol. D.personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure.

Providing aesthetic (pleasure,gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well- being. According to a study conducted by UK's Royal Horticultural Society(RHS,皇家园艺学会)and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all.Many study participants noted that gardening provides them with a sense of relaxation,satisfaction,and happiness. "This research provides further data to support the value of gardening and gardens for mental restoration and promoting calmness of mind,"said co-author Ross Cameron of the University of Sheffield.Since 2019,the UK National Health Service has recommended gardening as a form of treatment. Gardening improves people's mental well-being by making community ties stronger.In 2020,the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (in a community,which turned out to foster pride in the community.People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years,while non- participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening.According to the research,the level of cortisol,a hormone that regulates stress,was found to have significantly increased as well.This indicated a positive impact on stress reduction.Moreover,a study by Takasaki University in Japan showed that gardening helps people feel happier and more connected through activities like family gardening and community harvest festivals. Gardening is also good for the body."Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as strenuous (as going to the gym,for example,but we can expend similar amounts of energy,"said Lauriane Chalmin- Pui,an RHS study researcher in a press release.Fourteen percent of the respondents also noted that gardening helped maintain or promote physical exercise.In addition to buming calories and building muscle strength and flexibility, gardening offers direct sun exposure,which can boost vitamin D levels and reduce blood pressure. "One of the key things that we have forgotten as human beings is that we're animals,and we're part of a system," Alistair Griffiths,the director of Science and Collections at RHS,added."People see themselves as separate from nature,but we're very much a part of it.What we have around us in our environment is critical to our well-being." 32.What is the finding of the study by RHS and two universities? A.Gardeners score higher in fitness test. B.Gardens can help cure mental disorder. C.People tend to feel no stress in gardens. D.Gardening improves health and happiness. 33.How does gardening contribute to people's mental well-being? A.It makes people proud of themselves B.People are desperate to celebrate the harvest. C.It strengthens their relationships with neighbors.D.People feel less stressed due to the hormones in plants. 试题第7页（共10页） 34.Which would be the best title for this passage?

We will gather in the schoolyard and head to our designated area and work together to pick up any plastic waste that we find. I’m really looking forward to this opportunity. I hope you can also participate in similar activities in your area to help protect our planet. Best regards.

B（新情境） In late 2024, Cherrie Edwards, a retired teacher in Texas, saw news reports about Hurricane Helene hitting North Carolina. The heartbreaking images of families who had lost their homes and possessions stirred a profound sense of compassion within her, and a bold idea suddenly took shape: she decided to buy an RV (房车) and donate it directly to a family displaced by the disaster. She immediately contacted her neighbor Hillary, who had experience renovating RVs. Hillary found a used RV in Louisiana priced at $6,095 — an amount that was affordable for Cherrie, yet still represented a significant financial stretch. To gather the necessary funds and resources, Cherrie turned to social media, sharing her compassionate plan on Facebook. What followed was entirely unexpected: her post triggered a “chain reaction.” Strangers from various places responded generously, sending warm clothes, monetary contributions that covered the entire cost of the vehicle, and donations of new furniture and essential kitchenware. Linus, the father of a former student, offered to use his truck to tow the RV to the disaster area. Through a charity called “Hope for Crisis,” they connected with the Ryan family — Destiny, Ryan, and their daughter Phiona — who had lost everything in the hurricane. During the journey to deliver the RV, an unexpected delay occurred when a tire needed replacement. However, upon learning about the group’s charitable mission, the owner of the tire shop was so moved that he charged them only the wholesale cost, refusing any profit. When they finally arrived, Destiny hugged Cherrie tightly, and Phiona jumped up and down asking, “Is there a bed for me inside?” Cherrie later said, “This wasn’t just my kindness. It was hundreds of ‘angels on earth’ working together.” What started as a small thought had turned into a huge gift of hope. 24. What made Cherrie decide to buy an RV for a victim family? A. She received a request from the Ryan family. B. She saw reports about Hurricane Helene’s damage. C. Her neighbor Hillary suggested the idea. D. She wanted to sell the RV for a profit later. 25. What does “chain reaction” in Paragraph 2 mean? A A series of connected kind acts. B. A problem caused by poor planning. C. A debate about charity work. D. A scientific term related to the hurricane. 26. Why did the tire shop owner charge only the cost price? A. He was a friend of Linus. B. He wanted to buy the RV later. C. The tire was under warranty and free. D. He admired their charitable mission. 27. What is the main message of the story? A. Natural disasters bring a serious threat to human life. B. Social media is essential for organizing help. C. Individual initiative can inspire widespread kindness. D. The good things happen to good people. C（新考向） Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame we often do everything possible to avoid it. “We’re taught from our earliest days that if you quit something, it means you’re a failure,” says the psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently. Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there’s the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it’s not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed. Quitting, often happens in situations where we’re unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you’ve jumped into a new relationship before you’re ready - and, as a result, you’re operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack, so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol (应激激素皮质醇), which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability. Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets - someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects (研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ - an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it’s a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that’s not quite right can help you get back on track. 28. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both ______. A. guilty and ashamed. B. stupid and enthusiastic. C. troubled and hopeful. D. inspired and determined. 29. The phrase “take a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “______”. A. develop mental adaptability. B. bring about changes. C. keep up the pressure. D. have a bad effect. 30. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for ______. A. helping people find what truly suits them in career. B. telling capable employees from inadequate ones. C. training employees to acquire different working skills. D. providing people with opportunities to have a role play. 31. It can be concluded from the passage that ______. A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow. B. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen. C. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol. D. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure. D（新考向） Apart from their often stunning flowers, plants and trees, what comes to mind when you think about gardens? Providing aesthetic (审美的) pleasure, gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being. According to a study conducted by UK’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS，皇家园艺学会) and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all. Many study participants noted that gardening provides them with a sense of relaxation, satisfaction, and happiness. “This research provides further data to support the value of gardening and gardens for mental restoration and promoting calmness of mind,” said co-author Ross Cameron of the University of Sheffield. Since 2019, the UK National Health Service has recommended gardening as a form of treatment. Gardening improves people’s mental well-being by making community ties stronger. In 2020, the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (花盆) in a community, which turned out to foster pride in the community. People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years, while non-participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening. According to the research, the level of cortisol, a hormone that regulates stress, was found to have significantly increased as well. This indicated a positive impact on stress reduction. Moreover, a study by Takasaki University in Japan showed that gardening helps people feel happier and more connected through activities like family gardening and community harvest festivals. Gardening is also good for the body. “Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn’t feel as strenuous (费力的) as going to the gym, for example, but we can expend similar amounts of energy,” said Lauriane Chalmin-Pui, an RHS study researcher in a press release. Fourteen percent of the respondents also noted that gardening helped maintain or promote physical exercise. In addition to burning calories and building muscle strength and flexibility, gardening offers direct sun exposure, which can boost vitamin D levels and reduce blood pressure. “One of the key things that we have forgotten as human beings is that we’re animals, and we’re part of a system,” Alistair Griffiths, the director of Science and Collections at RHS, added. “People see themselves as separate from nature, but we’re very much a part of it. What we have around us in our environment is critical to our well-being.” 32. What is the finding of the study by RHS and two universities? A. Gardeners score higher in fitness test. B. Gardens can help cure mental disorder. C. People tend to feel no stress in gardens. D. Gardening improves health and happiness. 33. How does gardening contribute to people’s mental well-being? A. It makes people proud of themselves. B. People are desperate to celebrate the harvest. C. It strengthens their relationships with neighbors. D. People feel less stressed due to the hormones in plants. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Magic Power of Gardening B. Gardening for Mind Development C. A New Option for Workout D. Unexpected Joys in Gardens 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Evaluating Sources of Health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. ___35___ Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. ______36______ Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ＂contributes to＂ or is ＂associated with＂ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. ___37___ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. ____38____ Evaluate ＂scientific＂ statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术). ___39___ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life. A. Make choices that are right for you. B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C. Be sure to work through the critical questions. D. And examine the findings of the original research. E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view. G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12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。 （新语境）The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: "Things are working out for your own good. Just give them some time." Those words just stirred a lot of anger in me. Then I read the story of the Chinese bamboo farmer, which gave me a different view on life. The seed of the Chinese bamboo is planted in the ground like every seed. It is watered, and fed with nutrients daily, but it shows no immediate physical response and doesn't appear to grow. The farmer continues to water and feed the seed in year one, year two, and year three. No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. The Chinese bamboo grows to its full capacity within 5 years. Despite not seeing an immediate result, the farmer had trust in what he was doing. He continued to water and feed the plant for four years, because he believed that if he played his own role and did all that a farmer was supposed to do, then he would be given his reward at the right time. That trust and patience is what kept the farmer persistently feeding his seed for four years before enjoying the reward in the end. Life is not always straightforward. Most often, it's not a matter of 5+5 =10 (Sum 1). Life can be more like 2+1+2+0+0+0+1+2+0+0+1 + 1=10 (Sum 2). Both sums lead to the same result, but through quite different paths and processes. To be mature is to accept that things might look rough right now but the story can still have a great ending. We might live in a microwave generation where everything seems to happen instantly; but many things still obey the laws of nature. Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. 40. What happened to the author in the final year of college? 41. How does the Chinese bamboo grow in the fourth year? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. 43. Which is your life more like, Sum 1 or Sum 2? Explain why.
