三、阅读理解:本大题共20小题,共50分。
A
When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Set on Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.
36. What can we learn from Paragraph1?
A. It is hard to be admitted to a university.
B. A university’s fame is the top consideration.
C. The competition to attract applicants is fierce.
D. Extra benefits makes no difference to applicants.
37. What can we learn about the fitness center in the University of Missouri?
A. Its equipment is out of date.
B. It is the best one in the world.
C. It has a real beach there.
D. It can arouse students’ interest in workout.
38. Which university offers extra benefit of food?

C. Seton Hall University. D. New York University.
39. What can be guaranteed for students choosing Seton Hall University?
A. Free tuition. B. Free accommodation.
C. Free computers D. High graduation rate.
40. Which of the following is true of New York University?
A. It is located in the center of the city.
B. It houses the best museums in the world.
C. All the museums are open to its students for free.
D. Museums are usually closed on the weekends.
B
I must admit I did not buy 40 books this year. At a nearby bookshop I paid for a membership card that allows me to borrow two or three books at a time and keep them for a month.
Owning a book has its advantages, such as allowing you to make notes to your heart’s content, and you can reread it anytime you want, but borrowing holds advantages, too. One consideration is space, and in my city where a foot of land is worth an inch of gold, this issue speaks volumes when it comes to owning books.
You want to reread a book, but just look at how many books there are on your bookshelf that you haven’t finished reading even once. People tend to finish books they borrow more quickly than the ones they own, mainly because of the pressure of a deadline. Several times during the year I stayed up late to finish a book the night before the due date. I finished about 10 more books that way.
It is increasingly difficult to choose a good book because there are simply so many out there. Even if you choose only from a narrow area of interest, singling out 40 is challenging. Book reviews and the comments readers leave on the websites of online bookstores can be helpful in this regard.
But you cannot judge a book by its review. What I do is try to find and borrow the book from the bookshop. Some are like fast food: you leaf through the pages and finish them in a flash. Some are strong in certain chapters but weak in others. Some have titles that scream at you but lack substance.
I cut my losses by perusing (精读) on the spot or borrowing. Of the 40 I read from cover to cover, I bought four I thought were worth keeping. Strangely, I had not really set out to read those four books but happened upon them in the bookshop. That unpredictability is one of the exciting parts of this reading adventure.
41. How many advantages of owning a book are mentioned in Para.2? ______
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
42. What does the underlined part “speaks volumes” in Para.2 mean? ______
A. Matters a lot. B. Needs improvement. C. Exists for long. D. Creates confusion.
43. What is Para.3 mainly focused on? ______
A. The importance of rereading. B. An introduction to quick reading.
C. The difficulties of finishing a book. D. An advantage of borrowing books to read.
44. What is the author’s attitude to book reviews? ______
A. Favorable B. Disapproving C. Doubtful D. Objective
45. What is exciting about the author’s experience in the bookshop? ______
A. He found some nice books unexpectedly. B. He built up the habit of perusing on the spot.
C. He borrowed some books with great titles. D. He read 40 books from cover to cover.
C
Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.”
The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.”
This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone.
The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
46. What can we know about AV1 in Para.2?
A. Its function. B. Its prospect.
C. Its developing history. D. Its production material.
47. What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean?
A. make up for B. replace C. take part in D. design
48. What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student?
A. It makes the student forget the pain of recovery.
B. It helps the student keep connected with campus life.
C. It lets the student have more time to rest at home.
D. It allows the student to make more new friends.
49. Why is AV1 designed to be human-like?
A. To hold more advanced computer parts.
B. To offer kids support and companionship.
C. To make it tough enough against falls.
D. To attract more attention in the classroom.
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Development of Smart Robots.
B. 5G Network: A Trend in Education.
C. How to Cure Long-term Illnesses.
D. AV1: A Bridge to School Life.
D
What does being “smart” mean? The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences.
Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce!
Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control.
What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it.
51. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom?
A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence.
C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom.
52. What does “Reflecting well” primarily involve?
A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons.
C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions.
53. Why does the author mention the Vondelpark experience?
A. To explain how to reproduce a holiday. B. To prove the importance of travelling.
C. To advise people to get close to nature. D. To show the essence of true reflection.
54. What else is important for true wisdom?
A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge.
C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control.
55. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author?
A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments.
C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge.

Did you ever wonder where Legos come from? A box? A toy store? A factory? Yes. But where did they first come from? Who invented them? What was that person’s story? When you learn about the Lego story, you will be surprised!
Like many great inventions, the story is not just one of the great ideas, but of a ton of hard work, perseverance (坚持) and courage. The story starts off in Denmark. Ole Kirk Christiansen was a carpenter who was struggling with his business. Then, his wife, the mother of his 4 boys, died. This was very hard for everyone. He was looking for new ways to make money and to make his kids happy.
So, he started making wooden toys. They were of great quality. His 4 sons helped him with his business and, soon, word spread and big orders started coming in. But then the toys did not sell very well. He decided his toys needed a new name. He chose the name “Lego”, which in Danish means “play well”.
Then, a few years later, his workshop was burned to the ground. Everything was destroyed. Ole almost gave up. But he decided it was very important to support his employees and kids.
Not long after, he started to make a few plastic toys. He then got the idea to create a ‘system’ of toys that would build kids’ imagination and creativity. He built a village to test the idea. And the idea caught on quickly! Soon sales were pouring in. Then he figured out how to connect the pieces to each other. Soon he decided to stop making wooden toys and focus only on the connected plastic toys.
Then they started to build more and more kinds of models. Each one had to be of the highest quality. Lego’s motto is “only the best is good enough”.
Thanks to the perseverance of Ole and his sons, kids around the world can enjoy Lego toys, movies, amusement parks, clothing and much more.

— You __________ have checked the bike carefully before you left home.

When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students.

Set on Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.

B
I must admit I did not buy 40 books this year. At a nearby bookshop I paid for a membership card that allows me to borrow two or three books at a time and keep them for a month.
Owning a book has its advantages, such as allowing you to make notes to your heart’s content, and you can reread it anytime you want, but borrowing holds advantages, too. One consideration is space, and in my city where a foot of land is worth an inch of gold, this issue speaks volumes when it comes to owning books.
You want to reread a book, but just look at how many books there are on your bookshelf that you haven’t finished reading even once. People tend to finish books they borrow more quickly than the ones they own, mainly because of the pressure of a deadline. Several times during the year I stayed up late to finish a book the night before the due date. I finished about 10 more books that way.
It is increasingly difficult to choose a good book because there are simply so many out there. Even if you choose only from a narrow area of interest, singling out 40 is challenging. Book reviews and the comments readers leave on the websites of online bookstores can be helpful in this regard.
But you cannot judge a book by its review. What I do is try to find and borrow the book from the bookshop. Some are like fast food: you leaf through the pages and finish them in a flash. Some are strong in certain chapters but weak in others. Some have titles that scream at you but lack substance.
I cut my losses by perusing (精读) on the spot or borrowing. Of the 40 I read from cover to cover, I bought four I thought were worth keeping. Strangely, I had not really set out to read those four books but happened upon them in the bookshop. That unpredictability is one of the exciting parts of this reading adventure.
41. How many advantages of owning a book are mentioned in Para.2? ______
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
42. What does the underlined part “speaks volumes” in Para.2 mean? ______
A. Matters a lot. B. Needs improvement. C. Exists for long. D. Creates confusion.
43. What is Para.3 mainly focused on? ______
A. The importance of rereading. B. An introduction to quick reading.
C. The difficulties of finishing a book. D. An advantage of borrowing books to read.
44. What is the author’s attitude to book reviews? ______
A. Favorable B. Disapproving C. Doubtful D. Objective
45. What is exciting about the author’s experience in the bookshop? ______
A. He found some nice books unexpectedly. B. He built up the habit of perusing on the spot.
C. He borrowed some books with great titles. D. He read 40 books from cover to cover.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. D 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者办理书店会员卡借阅书籍的阅读经历,对比了买书与借书的不同优势,分析了借书更能督促人读完书籍的原因,介绍了挑选书籍的参考方法,以及在书店偶遇好书带来的意外乐趣。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Owning a book has its advantages, such as allowing you to make notes to your heart’s content, and you can reread it anytime you want(拥有一本书有它的好处,比如可以让你尽情做笔记,而且你随时可以重读)”可知,拥有书籍有两项优势。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段画线词“speaks volumes”前面的“One consideration is space, and in my city where a foot of land is worth an inch of gold(有一个需要考虑的因素是空间,在我所在的这座寸土寸金的城市)”以及后面的“when it comes to owning books(当谈及藏书这件事的时候)”可知,城市土地珍贵,藏书所要面临的空间问题就十分重要。由此可知,画线词含有“事关重大、十分重要”之意。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“You want to reread a book, but just look at how many books there are on your bookshelf that you haven’t finished reading even once. People tend to finish books they borrow more quickly than the ones they own, mainly because of the pressure of a deadline. Several times during the year I stayed up late to finish a book the night before the due date. I finished about 10 more books that way.(你想要重读一本书,可看看书架上还有多少书你甚至一次都没读完。比起自己拥有的书,人们往往能更快读完借来的书,这主要是因为截止日期带来的压力。这一年里,有好几次我都在还书期限前一晚熬夜把书看完。靠这种方式,我多读了大约十本书。)”由此可知,本段旨在说明借书阅读的一项优势。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Book reviews and the comments readers leave on the websites of online bookstores can be helpful in this regard.(书评以及读者在网上书店网站留下的评论在这一方面能够起到帮助作用。)”以及第五段中的“But you cannot judge a book by its review.(但你不能仅凭书评评判一本书。)”可知,作者既看到书评的用处,也明白不能完全依靠书评选书。由此可推断,作者对待书评的态度是客观的。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I had not really set out to read those four books but happened upon them in the bookshop. That unpredictability is one of the exciting parts of this reading adventure.(我原本并没有打算去读那四本书,而是在书店偶然遇见了它们。这种不可预知性是这场阅读冒险中令人感到兴奋的地方之一。)”可知,作者在书店意外发现好书是这段经历令人兴奋之处。
C
Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.”
The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.”
This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone.
The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
46. What can we know about AV1 in Para.2?
A. Its function. B. Its prospect.
C. Its developing history. D. Its production material.
47. What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean?
A. make up for B. replace C. take part in D. design
48. What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student?
A. It makes the student forget the pain of recovery.
B. It helps the student keep connected with campus life.
C. It lets the student have more time to rest at home.
D. It allows the student to make more new friends.
49. Why is AV1 designed to be human-like?
A. To hold more advanced computer parts.
B. To offer kids support and companionship.
C. To make it tough enough against falls.
D. To attract more attention in the classroom.
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Development of Smart Robots.
B. 5G Network: A Trend in Education.
C. How to Cure Long-term Illnesses.
D. AV1: A Bridge to School Life.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. B 50. D
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍AV1机器人的工作原理、功能优势、设计特点,它能帮助长期养病的孩子远程融入校园生活、减少孤独感。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.(多尔瓦解释了AV1机器人如何工作。她说孩子在家可以用平板或手机启动机器人,再用同一设备操控它的行动,在学校里机器人就成了孩子的眼睛、耳朵和声音。)”可知,第二段主要讲解AV1机器人的工作方式与功用。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy.(学生无论在养病的任何地方都能参与课堂活动。这款机器人配备扬声器、麦克风和摄像头,让沟通变得十分便捷。)”可知,结合上下文语境,生病学生可借助机器人参与课堂活动,由此可推断,partake in的意思为“参加、参与”,和take part in意思一致。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone.(这种顺畅的互动帮助孩子跟上课程进度、自由参与小组讨论、甚至和班上同学分享小快乐。它拉近了休养地与学校之间的距离,让他们与校园生活紧密相连,不会独自被边缘化。)”可知,顺畅互动能帮助养病学生和校园生活保持紧密联系。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.(AV1体型偏大且外形酷似人类是有缘由的。多尔瓦称这一点十分重要,因为这款机器人理应成为孩子们的朋友。)”可知,将AV1设计成人形,是为了给孩子陪伴与精神支持。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是首段中的“Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1.(如今,在医院或家中康复的长期患病儿童,可以拥有一位高科技伙伴来减少孤独感,这位伙伴就是名叫AV1的机器人。)”以及后文依次介绍它的工作原理、功能作用、交互优势和拟人设计用意可知,文章围绕AV1机器人展开,介绍它成为患病孩子衔接校园生活的纽带,所以“AV1: A Bridge to School Life(AV1:通往校园生活的桥梁)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。

What does being “smart” mean? The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences.
Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce!
Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control.
What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it.
51. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom?
A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence.
C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom.
52. What does “Reflecting well” primarily involve?
A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons.
C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions.
53. Why does the author mention the Vondelpark experience?
A. To explain how to reproduce a holiday. B. To prove the importance of travelling.
C. To advise people to get close to nature. D. To show the essence of true reflection.
54. What else is important for true wisdom?
A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge.
C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control.
55. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author?
A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments.
C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge.
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. D 55. B

A condition much easier to reproduce!(善于反思,绝不仅仅是留意那些让你产生种种情绪的事。它意味着,要看透这些事背后最本质的核心。 当你意识到:自己在阿姆斯特丹的冯德伦公园时满心欢喜,并非因为身处假期、离家数百公里,而是因为置身于大自然之中,这多么值得欣喜啊!毕竟,这种愉悦的条件其实更容易复刻。)”可知,作者举例是为了阐释真正反思的本质。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline.(智慧需要人们调整生活、善用自我认知,而这反过来需要自律。)”以及“One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control. (我今年收获的最宝贵感悟之一,就是克制住上网刷东西的冲动,让自己摆脱了虚拟世界的牢牢束缚。)”可知,真正的智慧需要强大的自我约束与自控力。

Did you ever wonder where Legos come from? A box? A toy store? A factory? Yes. But where did they first come from? Who invented them? What was that person’s story? When you learn about the Lego story, you will be surprised!
Like many great inventions, the story is not just one of the great ideas, but of a ton of hard work, perseverance (坚持) and courage. The story starts off in Denmark. Ole Kirk Christiansen was a carpenter who was struggling with his business. Then, his wife, the mother of his 4 boys, died. This was very hard for everyone. He was looking for new ways to make money and to make his kids happy.
So, he started making wooden toys. They were of great quality. His 4 sons helped him with his business and, soon, word spread and big orders started coming in. But then the toys did not sell very well. He decided his toys needed a new name. He chose the name “Lego”, which in Danish means “play well”.
Then, a few years later, his workshop was burned to the ground. Everything was destroyed. Ole almost gave up. But he decided it was very important to support his employees and kids.
Not long after, he started to make a few plastic toys. He then got the idea to create a ‘system’ of toys that would build kids’ imagination and creativity. He built a village to test the idea. And the idea caught on quickly! Soon sales were pouring in. Then he figured out how to connect the pieces to each other. Soon he decided to stop making wooden toys and focus only on the connected plastic toys.
Then they started to build more and more kinds of models. Each one had to be of the highest quality. Lego’s motto is “only the best is good enough”.
Thanks to the perseverance of Ole and his sons, kids around the world can enjoy Lego toys, movies, amusement parks, clothing and much more.

【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“He chose the name “Lego”, which in Danish means “play well”.(他选择了“乐高”这个名字,在丹麦语中意为“玩得好”。)”可知,Ole把他的玩具叫做乐高是因为在丹麦语中它意味着“玩得好”。故答案为:Because it means “play well” in Danish。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段“But he decided it was very important to support his employees and kids.(但他决定支持他的员工和孩子是非常重要的。)”和第五段“Not long after, he started to make a few plastic toys.(不久之后,他开始制作一些塑料玩具。)”可知,在Ole的乐高工作室被烧成平地后,他决定重建以支持他的员工和孩子。故答案为:He decided to rebuild to support his employees and kids。
【59题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据上文“He built a village to test the idea. (他建了一个村庄来测试这个想法。)”和下文“Soon sales were pouring in.(很快,销售就源源不断了。)”可知,这个想法很快流行起来。由此可推测出“the idea caught on quickly”意思是“这个想法很快流行起来”,即“这个想法很快变得受欢迎”。故答案为:The idea quickly became popular。

I’ll keep trying when facing difficulties。(答案不唯一)

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Chris,
I’m so glad to receive your email and know that you’re interested in our school’s sports culture promotion.
Recently, our school started the “Sunshine Sports Hour”, requiring every student to exercise for at least one hour daily after class. This initiative has greatly boosted students’ physical fitness and relieved academic pressure.
Personally, I benefit a lot from it. As a regular basketball player, I find that sports not only build up my body but also teach me the importance of teamwork and perseverance. Whenever I feel stressed, sweating on the court always cheers me up.
To create a better atmosphere, I suggest organizing more inter-class matches and sports festivals. This will surely inspire more students to fall in love with sports.
Yours,
Li Jin
