It was a cold and cloudy afternoon at the end of winter. I put on my hockey pads, picked up my bag and ran towards the car. My heart was racing because I was getting ready to try out for the Boston Junior Team.
“Dad,” as we drove, I said, “I’m really nervous. Will I make it?”
“You’ll do fine, Emily,” he said to me comfortingly. “I know what kind of player you are. No matter what, give your all.”
“OK,” I answered.
When I arrived at the rink (冰场), I greeted some friends who were also trying out. I tied my skates and carefully stepped out onto the ice. After a while, we were divided into two teams, and the match started. I tried to stay focused but still felt nervous. I messed up a few times. Sometimes I passed too early, took a bad shot, or didn’t make a play I probably should have. I felt like my skates had minds of their own, but I remembered what my dad said: I should give my all. I kept trying to make the best play possible. My dad’s words pushed me to keep going.
After the match, some players were pleased, while others seemed to be in the same situation as me, feeling like their playing was awful. I got home and told my parents that I didn’t think I would make the team, and I went to sleep without dinner.
As I was eating breakfast the next morning, my mother, to my surprise, walked into the kitchen with a wide smile on her face.
“The coach just emailed me. You’ve made it!”she said excitedly.
I was so relieved (如释重负) and shocked at the same time. I got up and hugged her, then read the email for myself, still unable to believe it was true.
That day, I realized that I may not be the most talented person there, but if I try my hardest, I can do anything.

Before the invention of air-conditioning, southern China’s skywells played a key role in keeping people’s homes cool. Could they do it again today?
A skywell, or “tian jing”, is a typical feature (特色) of a traditional home in southern and eastern China, which can date back to Ming and Qing dynasties. A skywell is almost always in the center of a house. It is enclosed by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. It acts as a transitional (过渡的) space between indoor life and the outdoor environment.
Skywells were designed to cool buildings. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. As the cool outdoor air travels down the walls to the lower storeys, it replaces warmer indoor air, enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool. Even when there is no natural wind, air circulation (循环) still takes place, because the temperature is different between the top and bottom of the skywell. Moreover, another part of the cooling effect comes from the evaporation (蒸发) of water. People collect rainwater in their skywells, and when the water evaporates, it cools hot air.
Today, although fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses, some designers take a new interest in the traditional Chinese buildings. They are getting creative ideas from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler. One example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan, which was completed in 2022. The 18-storey glass-walled tower block has a huge skywell in the middle, from the fifth to the top floor. The lifts, toilets and meeting rooms are all set around the skywell, which helps improve the lighting and air circulation of the building and cut the overall use of energy.
Although ancient “green wisdom” like skywells has caught more attention of modern Chinese people, there are some challenges for bringing skywells into modern designs. For one thing, traditional skywells highly depend on their natural conditions, like how much sunlight or rainfall in the area, so adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to fully consider their projects’ situations. Meanwhile, lighting, air conditioning and water supply have become so convenient that we depend on them with little care about the environmental cost. So it won’t be easy to be green by learning from the past without considering our present behaviours.
27. What do we know about skywells?
A. Skywells are typical in western China.
B. Skywells are enclosed by glass on four sides.
C. Natural wind is kept out of the house by skywells.
D. Water evaporation in skywells takes the heat away.
28. Why does the writer mention the 18-storey glass-walled tower block in Paragraph 4?
A. To show that skywell design can be creatively used in modern buildings.
B. To prove that modern skywells are different from the traditional ones.
C. To present how glass walls can improve the lighting of buildings.
D. To explain why fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses.
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Skywells: A Traditional Design to Be Protected
B. Skywells: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
C. Skywells: A Green Structure to Be Improved
D. Skywells: Modern Technology for City Lives
【答案】27. D 28. A 29. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代的天井如何让住宅保持凉爽以及将天井引入现代建筑中创造性运用,但引入现代设计仍存在一些挑战。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, another part of the cooling effect comes from the evaporation of water. People collect rainwater in their skywells, and when the water evaporates, it cools hot air.”可知,人们在他们的天井里收集雨水,当水蒸发时,带走热量,会冷却热空气。故选D。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They are getting creative ideas from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler. One example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan, which was completed in 2022. The 18-storey glass-walled tower block has a huge skywell in the middle, from the fifth to the top floor.”可知,作者提到了济南的18层的玻璃墙塔楼,是为了展示天井设计在现代建筑中的创造性运用。故选A。
【29题详解】
最佳标题题。综合全文可知,文章主要介绍了中国古代的天井如何让住宅保持凉爽,以及它对现代建筑设计的影响;选项B“天井:古代智慧、现代应用”适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
D
In the face of all kinds of changes in nature and life, our survival and development have been closely tied to our complexity. An idea called self-complexity refers to people’s thoughts about their different roles. It is the key to a strong and lasting identity (the sense of self) which can help us go through unexpected changes we all face.
With self-complexity, people have developed various parts to their identities. For example, imagine a woman who sees herself as student, wife, daughter and tennis player and who has a wide variety of life experiences. Social scientists would say that she has high self-complexity. On the other hand, a man who regards himself only as a student or only as a member of the hockey team and who has limited life experiences would be said to have low self-complexity. For those with high self-complexity, the various parts of the self are separate. This means the positive and negative thoughts about a certain part of the self won’t affect (影响) thoughts about other parts.
A large body of research shows that if you depend too much on any one part of the self, you will become fragile. When one’s identity connects too closely with the only one part that he cares deeply, then one will easily get stressed and burnt out when unexpected changes appear. This is especially true for an athlete during periods of change when his main—and all too often, only—sense of identity feels at risk. Yet while it may be heightened for athletes, it’s a pattern that holds true in all walks of life: if you want to be excellent and experience something fully, then you’ve got to go all in, but only to a point.
If your identity becomes too involved in any one part, then you are likely to suffer when things change. So what you need to do is to challenge yourself to put the various parts of your identity into a whole. This allows you to emphasize (强调) and reemphasize certain parts of your identity at different periods of time. The result is a fluid (流动的) sense of self.
Developing a fluid sense of self doesn’t mean you can be careless or just do things without effort. Caring deeply about the people, activities, and projects you love is undoubtedly the key to a rich and meaningful life. The problem is not caring deeply; it is when your identity is too closely fixed to any single goal.
30. Which most probably shows you have high self-complexity?
A. You complete your science project with music on.
B. You turn to the people around you when in trouble.
C. You make an effort to improve English through practice.
D. You keep a balance between schoolwork and sports training.
31. The word “fragile” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. cold B. lazy C. weak D. careless
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most people get stressed out more easily than athletes.
B. A strong identity comes from going all in for a single goal.
C. Doing well in one area betters other parts of a person’s identity.
D. Developing a fluid sense of self helps deal with unexpected changes.
33. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce different ways to face challenges.
B. To stress the importance of trying hard in one area.
C. To remind us to care about various parts of the self.
D. To discuss the meaning of a strong and lasting identity.
【答案】30. D 31. C 32. D 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要阐述了发展高度的自我复杂性的重要意义。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据“For those with high self-complexity, the various parts of the self are separate. This means the positive and negative thoughts about a certain part of the self won’t affect (影响) thoughts about other parts.”可知,对于那些具有高度自我复杂性的人来说,自我的各个部分是分开的。这意味着对自我某一部分的积极和消极想法不会影响对其他部分的想法。结合选项,如果你在学业和运动训练之间保持平衡,这最有可能表明你有很高的自我复杂性。故选D。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“A large body of research shows that if you depend too much on any one part of the self, you will become fragile. When one’s identity connects too closely with the only one part that he cares deeply, then one will easily get stressed and burnt out when unexpected changes appear.”可知,大量研究表明,如果你过度依赖自我的任何一个部分,你就会变得脆弱。当出现意想不到的变化时,他很容易感到压力和倦怠。由此可知,fragile意为“脆弱”,与weak同义。故选C。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“If your identity becomes too involved in any one part, then you are likely to suffer when things change. So what you need to do is to challenge yourself to put the various parts of your identity into a whole. This allows you to emphasize (强调) and reemphasize certain parts of your identity at different periods of time. The result is a fluid (流动的) sense of self.”可知,如果你的身份过多地涉及某一部分,那么当事情发生变化时你可能会受到影响。所以你需要做的就是挑战自己,将你身份的各个部分整合成一个整体。这使您可以在不同的时间段强调和淡化您身份的某些部分。结果是一种流动的自我意识。由此可推测,培养流动的自我意识有助于应对意外的变化。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Caring deeply about the people, activities, and projects you love is undoubtedly the key to a rich and meaningful life.”可知,深入关心你所热爱的人、参加你喜欢的活动和项目,这是丰富且有意义生活的关键。由此可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是提醒我们要关心自我的各个方面。故选C。

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
At-home Farming in Cities
Farming used to be an attraction in the countryside. But nowadays, farms can even be found high up on balconies (阳台) in cities. According to a recent report, sales of vegetable seeds, soil, and gardening tools have doubled compared with the same period last year. Among the people buying them, most were born after 1995.
Zhang Chao, from Anhui province, is a young “city farmer” in his 20s. He took up the hobby of planting when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. “Being a farmer his whole life, my grandpa likes to plant seasonal vegetables in our backyard garden,” Zhang said. “Inspired (启发) by his strong interest, I also learned to grow my own vegetables.” Though sometimes farming can be really tiring, Zhang said he had a sense of achievement when he saw seeds gradually grow into plants.
Although Zhang has recently moved to a place without a yard, he continues his hobby with a balcony garden. “Growing fruits and vegetables not only brings me delicious and safe food, but also reminds me of the happy moments with my grandpa,” said Zhang.
Unlike Zhang, Fang Min from Shenzhen considers planting a garden as a good way to relax and develop patience. To reduce much pressure from schoolwork, the 16-year-old girl started planting vegetables on her balcony in 2021. Most of the seeds were given by her friends. She just planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a “small garden”, covered by different flowers and herbs (香草).
After long hours of homework, Fang likes to walk around her balcony garden. “Seeing the various colors and breathing fresh air, I feel closer to nature and refreshed,” Fang said. “The vegetables and herbs may not be the main food on our table, but they will surely add different tastes to our dishes and add excitement to our busy days.”
Planting vegetables is now more than just a way to survive. It also brings joy and purpose to young people’s lives.

41. There wasn’t ________ (somebody) who wanted to stay for another night in the old house.
【答案】anybody
【解析】
【详解】句意:没有人想在这栋老房子里再住一晚。否定句中,somebody要变为anybody,表示“任何人”,应填anybody。
42. Exercising regularly is a really good way ________ (keep) healthy.

【详解】句意:经常锻炼是保持健康的一种很好的方式。固定结构“a way to do sth.”表示“做某事的方法”,此处用动词不定式作后置定语,应填to keep。
43. My poor grandpa is getting more ________ (forget) and often loses his house keys.
【答案】forgetful
【解析】
【详解】句意:我可怜的爷爷变得越来越健忘,经常弄丢家里的钥匙。空格跟在系动词getting后面,在句中作表语,需要使用形容词,forget是动词,对应的形容词形式forgetful表示“健忘的”,因此填forgetful。
44. We are busy preparing for the ________ (arrive) of the art festival.
【答案】arrival
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们正忙着为艺术节的到来做准备。定冠词the后面需要接名词,arrive的名词形式是arrival,表示“到达;到来”,此处表示抽象含义,属于不可数名词。
45. Last weekend, I ________ (buy) a new clock for Grandpa to see the time.
【答案】bought
【解析】
【详解】句意:上周末,我给爷爷买了一个新钟表方便他看时间。last weekend是一般过去时的时间标志,动词buy要使用过去式bought。
46. She likes to spend time ________ (read) novels during the breaks.

六、完成句子(共20分,每空1分)
根据下面各题所给的中英文提示完成句子。每空只能填写一个单词。
48. 无论任务多么困难,我们都不应该放弃。
________ ________ ________ difficult the task is, we should never give up.
【答案】 ①.
No ②.
matter ③.
how
【解析】
【详解】原句关键词为“无论多么”,用“No matter how”表示;该空位于句首,引导让步状语从句,修饰形容词difficult,构成“No matter how+形容词+主语+谓语”结构。
49. 当有人陷入困境时,我们应该伸出援手。
When someone is in trouble, we should ________ ________ ________.
【答案】 ①.
lend ②.
a ③.
hand
【解析】
【详解】原句中“伸出援手”是关键词,表示“伸出援手”的短语是lend a hand,前面有情态动词should,用原形。
50. 爸爸有趣的故事总是给我们带来快乐。
Dad’s funny stories always ________ ________ ________ ________.
【答案】 ①.
bring ②.
us ③.
much ④.
happiness
【解析】
【详解】原句中“给我们带来快乐”是关键词,bring sb. sth.表示“给某人带来某物”,主语stories是复数,一般现在时谓语用bring;us表示“我们”;much修饰不可数名词happiness;happiness表示“快乐”。因此填bring;us;much;happiness。
51. ——你假期做了什么有趣的事吗?
——没有,没什么特别。但我遇到了一个有趣的人。
—Did you ________ ________ ________ on your holiday?
—No, nothing special. But I ________ ________ ________.
【答案】 ①.
do ②.
anything ③.
interesting ④.
met ⑤.
someone ⑥.
interesting
【解析】
【详解】原句中“做了什么有趣的事”和“遇到了一个有趣的人”是关键词,第一句是一般过去时的一般疑问句,前面有助动词Did,后面的实义动词要用原形do;这是疑问句,表达“某些有趣的事”要把something换成anything,形容词interesting修饰不定代词时要放在不定代词的后面,所以组合起来是do anything interesting。假期遇到人是过去发生的动作,要用一般过去时,“遇到”的英文为meet,其过去式为met;“某个人”在肯定句里用someone,同样形容词interesting要放在不定代词someone的后面,所以组合起来是met someone interesting。
52. ——你的假期怎么样?——很棒。我去了趟黄山。
—— ________ ________ ________ ________?
—— It was great. I went to Mount Huangshan.
【答案】 ①.
How ②.
was ③.
your ④.
vacation##holiday
【解析】
【详解】原句中“你的假期怎么样?”是关键词。表示询问“……怎么样”的常用疑问词是How,“你的”用形容词性物主代词your,假期对应的常用表达为“vacation/holiday”,句中没有实义动词,要用be动词,根据答语“It was great”可知,时态为一般过去时,主语“your vacation/holiday”属于第三人称单数,be动词用was,因此依次填入How;was;your;vacation/holiday。

It was a cold and cloudy afternoon at the end of winter. I put on my hockey pads, picked up my bag and ran towards the car. My heart was racing because I was getting ready to try out for the Boston Junior Team.
“Dad,” as we drove, I said, “I’m really nervous. Will I make it?”
“You’ll do fine, Emily,” he said to me comfortingly. “I know what kind of player you are. No matter what, give your all.”
“OK,” I answered.
When I arrived at the rink (冰场), I greeted some friends who were also trying out. I tied my skates and carefully stepped out onto the ice. After a while, we were divided into two teams, and the match started. I tried to stay focused but still felt nervous. I messed up a few times. Sometimes I passed too early, took a bad shot, or didn’t make a play I probably should have. I felt like my skates had minds of their own, but I remembered what my dad said: I should give my all. I kept trying to make the best play possible. My dad’s words pushed me to keep going.
After the match, some players were pleased, while others seemed to be in the same situation as me, feeling like their playing was awful. I got home and told my parents that I didn’t think I would make the team, and I went to sleep without dinner.
As I was eating breakfast the next morning, my mother, to my surprise, walked into the kitchen with a wide smile on her face.
“The coach just emailed me. You’ve made it!”she said excitedly.
I was so relieved (如释重负) and shocked at the same time. I got up and hugged her, then read the email for myself, still unable to believe it was true.
That day, I realized that I may not be the most talented person there, but if I try my hardest, I can do anything.
24. How did the writer feel before the match started?
A. Confident. B. Excited. C. Nervous. D. Angry.
25. During the match, Emily ________.
A. made some mistakes B. talked with her father again
C. asked her coach for help D. broke her skates by accident
26. From her experience, Emily learned about ________.
A. the value of talent B. the power of putting in full effort

Before the invention of air-conditioning, southern China’s skywells played a key role in keeping people’s homes cool. Could they do it again today?
A skywell, or “tian jing”, is a typical feature (特色) of a traditional home in southern and eastern China, which can date back to Ming and Qing dynasties. A skywell is almost always in the center of a house. It is enclosed by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. It acts as a transitional (过渡的) space between indoor life and the outdoor environment.
Skywells were designed to cool buildings. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. As the cool outdoor air travels down the walls to the lower storeys, it replaces warmer indoor air, enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool. Even when there is no natural wind, air circulation (循环) still takes place, because the temperature is different between the top and bottom of the skywell. Moreover, another part of the cooling effect comes from the evaporation (蒸发) of water. People collect rainwater in their skywells, and when the water evaporates, it cools hot air.
Today, although fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses, some designers take a new interest in the traditional Chinese buildings. They are getting creative ideas from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler. One example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan, which was completed in 2022. The 18-storey glass-walled tower block has a huge skywell in the middle, from the fifth to the top floor. The lifts, toilets and meeting rooms are all set around the skywell, which helps improve the lighting and air circulation of the building and cut the overall use of energy.
Although ancient “green wisdom” like skywells has caught more attention of modern Chinese people, there are some challenges for bringing skywells into modern designs. For one thing, traditional skywells highly depend on their natural conditions, like how much sunlight or rainfall in the area, so adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to fully consider their projects’ situations. Meanwhile, lighting, air conditioning and water supply have become so convenient that we depend on them with little care about the environmental cost. So it won’t be easy to be green by learning from the past without considering our present behaviours.
27. What do we know about skywells?
A. Skywells are typical in western China.
B. Skywells are enclosed by glass on four sides.
C. Natural wind is kept out of the house by skywells.
D. Water evaporation in skywells takes the heat away.
28. Why does the writer mention the 18-storey glass-walled tower block in Paragraph 4?
A. To show that skywell design can be creatively used in modern buildings.
B. To prove that modern skywells are different from the traditional ones.
C. To present how glass walls can improve the lighting of buildings.
D. To explain why fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses.
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Skywells: A Traditional Design to Be Protected
B. Skywells: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
C. Skywells: A Green Structure to Be Improved
D. Skywells: Modern Technology for City Lives
D
In the face of all kinds of changes in nature and life, our survival and development have been closely tied to our complexity. An idea called self-complexity refers to people’s thoughts about their different roles. It is the key to a strong and lasting identity (the sense of self) which can help us go through unexpected changes we all face.
With self-complexity, people have developed various parts to their identities. For example, imagine a woman who sees herself as student, wife, daughter and tennis player and who has a wide variety of life experiences. Social scientists would say that she has high self-complexity. On the other hand, a man who regards himself only as a student or only as a member of the hockey team and who has limited life experiences would be said to have low self-complexity. For those with high self-complexity, the various parts of the self are separate. This means the positive and negative thoughts about a certain part of the self won’t affect (影响) thoughts about other parts.
A large body of research shows that if you depend too much on any one part of the self, you will become fragile. When one’s identity connects too closely with the only one part that he cares deeply, then one will easily get stressed and burnt out when unexpected changes appear. This is especially true for an athlete during periods of change when his main—and all too often, only—sense of identity feels at risk. Yet while it may be heightened for athletes, it’s a pattern that holds true in all walks of life: if you want to be excellent and experience something fully, then you’ve got to go all in, but only to a point.
If your identity becomes too involved in any one part, then you are likely to suffer when things change. So what you need to do is to challenge yourself to put the various parts of your identity into a whole. This allows you to emphasize (强调) and reemphasize certain parts of your identity at different periods of time. The result is a fluid (流动的) sense of self.
Developing a fluid sense of self doesn’t mean you can be careless or just do things without effort. Caring deeply about the people, activities, and projects you love is undoubtedly the key to a rich and meaningful life. The problem is not caring deeply; it is when your identity is too closely fixed to any single goal.
30. Which most probably shows you have high self-complexity?
A. You complete your science project with music on.
B. You turn to the people around you when in trouble.
C. You make an effort to improve English through practice.
D. You keep a balance between schoolwork and sports training.
31. The word “fragile” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. cold B. lazy C. weak D. careless
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most people get stressed out more easily than athletes.
B. A strong identity comes from going all in for a single goal.
C. Doing well in one area betters other parts of a person’s identity.
D. Developing a fluid sense of self helps deal with unexpected changes.
33. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce different ways to face challenges.
B. To stress the importance of trying hard in one area.
C. To remind us to care about various parts of the self.
D. To discuss the meaning of a strong and lasting identity.

At-home Farming in Cities
Farming used to be an attraction in the countryside. But nowadays, farms can even be found high up on balconies (阳台) in cities. According to a recent report, sales of vegetable seeds, soil, and gardening tools have doubled compared with the same period last year. Among the people buying them, most were born after 1995.
Zhang Chao, from Anhui province, is a young “city farmer” in his 20s. He took up the hobby of planting when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. “Being a farmer his whole life, my grandpa likes to plant seasonal vegetables in our backyard garden,” Zhang said. “Inspired (启发) by his strong interest, I also learned to grow my own vegetables.” Though sometimes farming can be really tiring, Zhang said he had a sense of achievement when he saw seeds gradually grow into plants.
Although Zhang has recently moved to a place without a yard, he continues his hobby with a balcony garden. “Growing fruits and vegetables not only brings me delicious and safe food, but also reminds me of the happy moments with my grandpa,” said Zhang.
Unlike Zhang, Fang Min from Shenzhen considers planting a garden as a good way to relax and develop patience. To reduce much pressure from schoolwork, the 16-year-old girl started planting vegetables on her balcony in 2021. Most of the seeds were given by her friends. She just planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a “small garden”, covered by different flowers and herbs (香草).
After long hours of homework, Fang likes to walk around her balcony garden. “Seeing the various colors and breathing fresh air, I feel closer to nature and refreshed,” Fang said. “The vegetables and herbs may not be the main food on our table, but they will surely add different tastes to our dishes and add excitement to our busy days.”
Planting vegetables is now more than just a way to survive. It also brings joy and purpose to young people’s lives.
34. Where can farms be found in cities nowadays?

35. When did Zhang Chao take up the hobby of planting?
