B 14. C 15. B 16. A 17. B 18. B 19. B 20. A 21. B 22. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述艾米因妈妈对其期望过高而产生压力，通过写信沟通解决问题，强调了理解与交流对家庭关系的重要性。 【11题详解】 句意：她妈妈总是拿她和优等生表姐相比较。 根据“…her with her top-student cousin”以及下文“True family love is acceptance, not endless comparison…”可知，此处是将二人相比较，compares“比较”符合语境；mixes“混合”，helps“帮助”，agrees“同意”，均不符合语境。 【12题详解】 句意：慢慢地，艾米失去了学习的信心。 根据上文“No matter how hard Amy works, she hardly gets praise at home.”可知，她的努力得不到认可，所以会失去学习的信心，confidence“信心”符合语境；habit“习惯”与study搭配时指“学习习惯”，属行为层面，而下文介绍她变得沉默、不再分享学校里的事，指向情绪与信心受挫；courage“勇气”侧重直面危险困境，与“得不到认可”无关；hobby“爱好”，与study不搭配。 【13题详解】 句意：有时她在外面闲逛，以避免回家。 根据上文“She became quiet and refused to share school stories with her family.”可知，她拒绝和家人分享学校的事情，所以在外面闲逛是为了避免回家，avoid“避免”符合语境；enjoy“享受”，practice“练习”，finish“完成”，均不符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：开始一场交心的谈话需要极大的勇气，但它能极大地改善家庭关系。 根据“Writing or talking can break the cold silence.”可知，打破冰冷的沉默、开启交心对话并不容易，所以需要勇气，courage“勇气”符合语境；time“时间”，money“钱”，trouble“麻烦”，均不符合打破心理障碍的语境。 【15题详解】 句意：开始一场交心的谈话需要极大的勇气，但它能极大地改善家庭关系。 根据“but it greatly improves family…”可知，此处介绍交心谈话对家庭带来的影响——改善家庭关系，relationship“关系”符合语境；competition“竞争”，activity“活动”，memory“记忆”，均不符合上下文逻辑。 【16题详解】 句意：当你感到焦虑时，去户外走走或听听轻柔的音乐来让自己平静下来。 根据“When you feel anxious, walk outside or listen to soft music…”可知，外出或听轻音乐都是为了平复自己的情绪，calm down“冷静下来”，calm符合语境；break down“（机器、车辆等）出故障”，put down“放下”，cut down“砍倒”，B、C、D三项均不符合此处语境。 【17题详解】 句意：积极的情绪有助于你在学习和日常生活中保持自信。 根据“A positive mood helps you keep confident in study and daily…”和下文“Good communication and self-adjustment help you walk out of trouble and build a warm family atmosphere.”可知，此处用life，daily life“日常生活”，涵盖全面，study“学习”，内容重复，hobby“爱好”和holiday“假期”范围过窄。 【18题详解】 句意：学会正确地表达情感，你就会得到家人更多的理解和关爱。 根据“Learn to express feelings properly…and care…”可知，此处介绍正确表达情感带来的积极影响，understanding“理解”符合语境；blame“责备”，punishment“惩罚”，pressure“压力”，均不符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：真正的家庭之爱是接纳，而非无休止的比较和严苛的期待。 文章开头“Amy’s biggest teenage trouble comes from her mother’s high expectations.”点明艾米的烦恼来自妈妈的高期待，此处使用expectation“期望”对应开篇的设定；praise“表扬”，attention“注意”，care“关心”，均不符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：敞开心扉，你将驱散沉重的压力，迎来宁静的家庭生活。 上文一直在讲述艾米通过沟通化解和妈妈的矛盾，最终摆脱压力、获得和睦的家庭状态，所以此处指迎来平和的家庭生活，life“生活”符合语境；fight“斗争”，quarrel“争吵”，anger“愤怒”，均不符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：艾米的经历也告诉我们，父母应该学会理解孩子的情感。 根据上文“After reading the letter, Amy’s mum realized her mistake. She stopped comparing Amy with others and began to notice Amy’s small progress.”可知，艾米的妈妈意识到自己的错误，说明她理解了艾米的感受，understand“理解”符合语境；ignore“忽视”和control“控制”会加剧矛盾，change“改变”，其后宾语若是feelings，等于把孩子的感受当成可改造的对象，与“理解”的立意相反。 【22题详解】 句意：只有这样，青少年才能在一个更加充满爱与宁静的家庭中成长。 根据“…welcome peaceful family…”可知，此处使用peaceful“宁静的”，和全文反对高压、反对攀比，倡导和睦家庭氛围的主旨完全匹配；noisy“吵闹的”，strict“严格的”，busy“忙碌的”，均不符合此处的美好愿景。 三、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。 A Careers of the Future: Are You Ready?

First, there are your most basic personality traits (特征), including how open you are to new experiences, and whether you like to be with other people or prefer to be alone, and how stressed out you get in challenging situations. Your basic traits are pretty obvious (明显的) even when you’re a baby. “Some babies are a little bit fussier or a little bit more active or a little bit more smiley. Those can develop into more stable personality traits,” Fivush says. “They stay pretty much the same as you grow up.” The next layer of your personality is your experiences. If your family is loving and responsive when you’re a baby, that teaches you “the world is a safe and trusting place, I’m going to be OK, my needs are going to be met, and if anything bad happens, I have people to take care of me,” Fivush says. That feeling of trust and security lasts for your whole life, and it tends to make you more confident and capable of dealing with difficulties when you are an adult. “The third layer is the stories you tell about yourself,” Fivush says. “We all tell stories about our lives, both to ourselves and to other people. Those stories give meaning to your experiences. They can be stories about your own life—like how much you loved your science teacher, what a great time you had when she helped you with your science fair project, and how that made you want to be a scientist. But your family’s stories are equally important.” Knowing about how your parents met, or what your grandmother’s childhood was like, helps you see where you come from. And talking with your family about both the happy and sad times you’ve experienced can help you understand those events more clearly and learn different ways to deal with challenges. Family stories don’t just teach you who you are—they help you figure out who you want to be. 26. According to the passage, which of the following is one of a person’s most basic personality traits? A. Growing up in a wealthy family. B. Being open to new experiences. C. Sharing family stories with teachers. D. Understanding events in an easy way. 27. What will a man most probably be like if he grows up in a loving family? A. Confident. B. Generous. C. Honest. D. Helpful. 28. Why are family stories important? A. Because they can make your dream come true. B. Because they can make you feel happy and relaxed. C. Because they can help you understand who you want to be. D. Because they can help you deal with any difficulties you meet. 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了心理学家提出的“人格三层次”理论，包括基础特质、成长经历影响、个人与家庭故事的意义。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“there are your most basic personality traits, including how open you are to new experiences”可知，“乐于接受新体验”属于最基础的人格特质。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If your family is loving and responsive when you’re a baby...and it tends to make you more confident”可知，在充满爱的家庭中长大的人更可能变得自信。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Family stories don’t just teach you who you are—they help you figure out who you want to be.”可知，家庭故事的重要性在于帮助你明确自己想成为什么样的人。故选C。 C ①Recently, I asked a friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied. ②How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. ③On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep. ④On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend time on the movies. ⑤The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight, permanent darkness would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen. ⑥I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again… But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. (—Adapted from《Three Days to See》by Helen Keller) 29. What does the writer want to do during the three days? A. Read books to people on the first day. B. Go to the movies on the second day. C. Succeed in business on the third day. D. Have a wonderful dream every day. 30. What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. bright B. silent C. endless D. frightening 31.

Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today. C. Live every moment and be thankful for what you have. D. The future belongs to those who are preparing for it now. 【答案】29. B 30. C 31. D 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，节选自海伦·凯勒的《假如给我三天光明》，作者由朋友散步未发现特别事物的经历生发思考，设想了自己若拥有三天光明的具体安排，最终呼吁人们珍惜自身拥有的感官，用心感受生活的美好。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第④段“In the evening, I should spend time on the movies.”可知，作者第二天的安排包含看电影的内容，符合选项B的描述。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第⑤段“At midnight, permanent darkness would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.”并结合前文作者仅能拥有三天光明的设定，可知三天结束后回归的状态是持续无尽的，permanent意为“永久的”，与endless含义相近。 【31题详解】 篇章结构题。梳理全文内容可知，第①段以朋友的经历引入话题；第②段提出“假如拥有三天光明”的设想，总起下文；第③④⑤段分别介绍三天的具体安排，为分述部分；第⑥段总结全文，给出珍惜感官的建议并点明主旨。可推知文章结构为①引出②，②统领③④⑤，最终汇总到⑥，对应选项D的图示。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第⑥段“Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would…you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…”可推知，作者认同要活在当下、感恩自己所拥有的事物的观点，与选项C的表述一致。 四、六选四阅读（每小题1.5分，共6分） 请从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）。 Some people believe that self-reflection is a good habit for teenagers. What exactly is self-reflection? It means thinking honestly about your own behaviour, feelings and decisions after something has happened. It is not just about finding mistakes. It is also about understanding why we act in a certain way and how we can become better. Many teenagers are too busy with schoolwork. They spend most of their time doing homework or taking part-time after-school classes. ____33____. However, self-reflection plays an important role in our growth. When you reflect, you can see your weak points clearly. For example, you may find that you often lose your temper when you are under great pressure. Then you can try to find ways to control your moods. ____34____.You may realize you are good at organizing group activities. This will build up your confidence. Self-reflection also helps us make better choices. If we think about what went wrong in a test or a conversation, we can avoid making the same mistakes next time. ____35____.You can spend five to ten minutes every night before going to bed. You may ask yourself these simple questions: What did I do well today? What mistake did I make? What should I improve tomorrow? You can also write down your answers in a small notebook. After a few weeks, you will find that you know yourself better. Self-reflection will not bring quick changes to you. ____36____. A. But if you keep doing it every day, little by little you will make great progress. B. So they seldom stop to look back on what they have done. C. Self-reflection is only useful for students who get bad grades. D. Besides, self-reflection also helps you know your advantages. E. You do not need a long time for self-reflection. F. Many teachers ask students to write a diary after school. 【答案】33. B 34. D 35. E 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了自我反思的含义、对青少年成长的重要作用以及进行自我反思的简单方式。 【33题详解】 第二段提到“Many teenagers are too busy...or taking part-time after-school classes.”，说明青少年学业繁忙，B项“So they seldom stop to look back on what they have done.”交代由此带来的结果，衔接自然。 【34题详解】 第三段表明“When you reflect, you can see your weak points clearly.”，先是说明反思可以看清自身弱点，后文又提到发现自己擅长组织团体活动、建立自信，D项“Besides, self-reflection also helps you know your advantages.”补充反思能够帮我们认识自身优点，形成完整表达。 【35题详解】 第四段指出“You can spend five to ten minutes every night before going to bed.”，后文介绍只需要很短时间开展反思，E项“You do not need a long time for self-reflection.”引出下文。 【36题详解】 第五段说明“Self-reflection will not bring quick changes to you.”，说明反思不会立刻见效，A项“But if you keep doing it every day,little by little you will make great progress.”表明坚持之后就会收获进步，符合上下文逻辑。 五、回答问题（共3小题：前2题每小题2分，最后一题3分，满分7分） Holden Bierman from the US is not a typical (典型的) teenager. When he was only 13, with the help of his parents, he started a beach-style clothing brand (品牌) called Coastal Cool. From his bedroom, he built a website, designed T-shirts and hoodies and began selling online. At first, people thought it was just a hobby or a passing interest. But Bierman believed in it from the beginning. He had always been different. Sports and video games never interested him much. What excited him was creating and selling something real that people could enjoy. By 14, Bierman felt bored with his products. But instead of quitting, he decided to give his brand a new purpose. “Being a businessman is not just about creating a product; it is about building a community of people who believe in what you are building,” Bierman explained. He turned Coastal Cool into a sustainable (可持续发展的) company, making swimsuits from recycled plastic bottles. Since then, the brand has helped remove almost 20,000 bottles from the ocean. This change has given Bierman new energy. He has spoken at schools, organized community events and encouraged other young people to dream big and take action. Now 19, Bierman has missed out on a lot of things: school dances, soccer games and more. But he has also got even more in return, especially confidence and a strong sense of direction. His brand now ships around the world and continues to grow. Bierman’s story shows that even teenagers can build something meaningful when they believe in their ideas and keep working hard for them. 回答下面3个问题，前两个小题每题答案不超过10个词，第三个小题答案词数不限。 37. Why did Bierman change his brand’s purpose at 14? ______________________________________________ 38. What has Bierman got in return from his experience? ______________________________________________ 39. What can you learn from Bierman’s story? ______________________________________________ 【答案】37. Because he felt bored with his products. 38. Confidence and a strong sense of direction. 39. We should believe in our ideas and keep working hard for them. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国少年Holden Bierman创立服装品牌，转型环保可持续品牌并取得成功的故事。 【37题详解】 根据文章第3段“By 14, Bierman felt bored with his products.”可知，他改变品牌目的原因是感到厌倦，直接提取答案。 【38题详解】 根据文章第4段“But he has also got even more in return, especially confidence and a strong sense of direction.”可知，他获得的回报是自信和方向感，直接提取信息。 【39题详解】 根据文章第5段“even teenagers can build something meaningful when they believe in their ideas and keep working hard for them.”可知，我们应该相信想法并坚持努力，直接提取答案。 六、综合填空（每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。 Are you often ____40____ stress before an important exam, unable to sleep well at night?

I ____49____ (see) many concerts before, but never one that made me think so much. 【答案】40. under 41. more likely 42. to help 43. was dug 44. Although##Though##While 45. hurting 46. moving 47. safely 48. kindness 49. had seen 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述某校开展“关爱周”活动，作者所在班级学生合力帮助独居老人陈先生，在帮助他人的过程中收获了独特的幸福感与感悟。 【40题详解】 句意：你是否经常在重要考试前感到压力很大，晚上睡不好觉？根据“stress before an important exam, unable to sleep well at night”可知，此处指有压力，under stress“处在压力之下”。故填under。 【41题详解】 句意：但最近一项针对2000名青少年的研究表明，那些经常帮助别人的人比那些把问题藏在心里的人更容易感到快乐。are后接形容词作表语，结合“than”可知，此处使用形容词比较级more likely。 【42题详解】 句意：经过简短的讨论，我们下定决心帮助陈先生，一位独自居住的老人。根据“made up our minds”可知，make up one’s mind to do sth.表示“下定决心做某事”，空处使用动词不定式to help。 【43题详解】 句意：他家后面的小花园在第一天早上由几名志愿者挖掘，然后我们在里面种了一些幼树。根据“…and then we planted…”可知，此处介绍过去发生的事情，时态为一般过去时，结合“by”可知，此处指“花园被挖掘”，所以使用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数，助动词使用was，dig的过去分词为dug。故填was dug。 【44题详解】 句意：虽然我们中没有一个人擅长园艺，但我们还是尽力在太阳下山前完成了这项工作。前后句存在让步逻辑：尽管没人擅长园艺，但是所有人还是尽力完成工作，although/though/while“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句，首字母要大写。 【45题详解】 句意：当我们搬运沉重的罐子时，有人告诉我们不要冒险伤到背部，所以我们两人一组进行工作。结合“risk”可知，此处是risk doing sth.“冒险做某事”，所以空处使用动名词hurting。 【46题详解】 句意：最动人的部分发生在周五。空处修饰表示事物的名词part，用-ing结尾的形容词moving，表示“令人感动的”。 【47题详解】 句意：那一周，每天早上都有两名同学帮助陈先生安全地走到公交车站，他告诉他们，自己已经好几天没和任何人说话了。walk是动词，此处使用副词对其进行修饰，safe的副词形式为safely“安全地”。 【48题详解】 句意：“小小的善举，”他说，“对老年人来说比金钱更有意义。”small acts of后接抽象名词，用来表示“带有某种性质的行为”，结合上文作者和同学们帮助独居老人的过程，此处使用kind的名词形式kindness“善良，友好（或仁慈、体贴）的举动”，表示“这些善举比金钱更有意义”。 【49题详解】 句意：我以前看过很多场音乐会，但从来没有哪一场让我思考得这么多。根据“but never one that made me think so much”可知，此处表示“在这次音乐会之前我已经看过很多场音乐会”，动作发生在过去的过去，用过去完成时，其结构为：had+动词过去分词，see的过去分词形式为seen。故填had seen。 七、单词拼写（每小题1分，共5分） 根据所给中文或用所给单词的正确形式填空（每空一词）。 50. One ________ (care) mistake may cause a terrible disaster in our task. 【答案】careless 【解析】 【详解】句意：一个粗心的失误，就可能在我们的任务中酿成严重的灾难。空处作定语修饰名词mistake，需填形容词。根据“may cause a terrible disaster”可知，此处指粗心的失误。care对应的形容词careless“粗心的”符合语境。 51. Let your parents know if you are ________ (bully) at school. Don’t hide it. 【答案】bullied 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你在学校被欺负，请让你的父母知道。不要隐瞒。句中“if you are...”为被动语态结构，表示“被……”。根据语境，此处指“被欺负”，动词bully的过去分词需将y变为i再加ed，故填bullied。 52. With so much false information online, we have difficulty ________ (judge) the truth of the news. 【答案】judging 【解析】 【详解】句意：网上有那么多虚假信息，我们很难判断新闻的真实性。judge意为“判断”，是动词，have difficulty (in) doing sth.是固定短语，意为“做某事有困难”，因此，此处用judge的动名词形式judging，作宾语。 53. The Yunnan government is raising service ________ (标准) to meet the growing needs of tourists. 【答案】standards 【解析】 【详解】句意：云南省政府正在提升服务标准，来满足游客日益增长的需求。“标准”用standard表达，是可数名词，服务标准不止一条，此处用其复数形式standards。 54. I ________ (懊悔) telling May this bad news. She seemed sad the whole day. 【答案】regretted 【解析】 【详解】句意：我后悔告诉梅这个坏消息，她一整天看起来都很难过。regret动词，意为“懊悔、后悔”，固定搭配：regret doing sth.意为“后悔做了某事”，后面句子seemed是过去式，所以这里用一般过去时，regret的过去式是regretted。 八、书面表达（10分） 55. 学校英语校刊Sunshine Post正在开展以“Growing Up, Growing Strong”为主题的征文活动。一路成长，总有人在你遇到烦恼的时候拉你一把。九年级的同学们被邀请写一写那个对你影响最大的人：他或她是一个怎样的人？又是怎样帮你解决了你的烦恼？请你写一篇短文投稿。 提示： 1.

Medical expertise. B. Proficiency with editing software. C. Strong communication skills. D. Knowledge of safety protocols for drones. 25. The main purpose of this passage is to ________. A. advertise specific job openings B. compare salaries of different jobs C. criticize traditional occupations D. introduce emerging career options B “Your personality has three different layers (层),” says Robyn Fivush, a psychologist at Emory University. First, there are your most basic personality traits (特征), including how open you are to new experiences, and whether you like to be with other people or prefer to be alone, and how stressed out you get in challenging situations. Your basic traits are pretty obvious (明显的) even when you’re a baby. “Some babies are a little bit fussier or a little bit more active or a little bit more smiley. Those can develop into more stable personality traits,” Fivush says. “They stay pretty much the same as you grow up.” The next layer of your personality is your experiences. If your family is loving and responsive when you’re a baby, that teaches you “the world is a safe and trusting place, I’m going to be OK, my needs are going to be met, and if anything bad happens, I have people to take care of me,” Fivush says. That feeling of trust and security lasts for your whole life, and it tends to make you more confident and capable of dealing with difficulties when you are an adult. “The third layer is the stories you tell about yourself,” Fivush says. “We all tell stories about our lives, both to ourselves and to other people. Those stories give meaning to your experiences. They can be stories about your own life—like how much you loved your science teacher, what a great time you had when she helped you with your science fair project, and how that made you want to be a scientist. But your family’s stories are equally important.” Knowing about how your parents met, or what your grandmother’s childhood was like, helps you see where you come from. And talking with your family about both the happy and sad times you’ve experienced can help you understand those events more clearly and learn different ways to deal with challenges. Family stories don’t just teach you who you are—they help you figure out who you want to be. 26. According to the passage, which of the following is one of a person’s most basic personality traits? A. Growing up in a wealthy family. B. Being open to new experiences. C. Sharing family stories with teachers. D. Understanding events in an easy way. 27. What will a man most probably be like if he grows up in a loving family? A. Confident. B. Generous. C. Honest. D. Helpful. 28. Why are family stories important? A. Because they can make your dream come true. B. Because they can make you feel happy and relaxed. C. Because they can help you understand who you want to be. D. Because they can help you deal with any difficulties you meet. C ①Recently, I asked a friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied. ②How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. ③On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep. ④On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend time on the movies. ⑤The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight, permanent darkness would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen. ⑥I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again… But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. (—Adapted from《Three Days to See》by Helen Keller) 29. What does the writer want to do during the three days? A. Read books to people on the first day. B. Go to the movies on the second day. C. Succeed in business on the third day. D. Have a wonderful dream every day. 30. What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. bright B. silent C. endless D. frightening 31. Which is the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 32. Which of the following sayings may the writer agree with? A. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. B. Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today. C. Live every moment and be thankful for what you have. D. The future belongs to those who are preparing for it now. 四、六选四阅读（每小题1.5分，共6分） 请从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）。 Some people believe that self-reflection is a good habit for teenagers.

When he was only 13, with the help of his parents, he started a beach-style clothing brand (品牌) called Coastal Cool. From his bedroom, he built a website, designed T-shirts and hoodies and began selling online. At first, people thought it was just a hobby or a passing interest. But Bierman believed in it from the beginning. He had always been different. Sports and video games never interested him much. What excited him was creating and selling something real that people could enjoy. By 14, Bierman felt bored with his products. But instead of quitting, he decided to give his brand a new purpose. “Being a businessman is not just about creating a product; it is about building a community of people who believe in what you are building,” Bierman explained. He turned Coastal Cool into a sustainable (可持续发展的) company, making swimsuits from recycled plastic bottles. Since then, the brand has helped remove almost 20,000 bottles from the ocean. This change has given Bierman new energy. He has spoken at schools, organized community events and encouraged other young people to dream big and take action. Now 19, Bierman has missed out on a lot of things: school dances, soccer games and more. But he has also got even more in return, especially confidence and a strong sense of direction. His brand now ships around the world and continues to grow. Bierman’s story shows that even teenagers can build something meaningful when they believe in their ideas and keep working hard for them. 回答下面3个问题，前两个小题每题答案不超过10个词，第三个小题答案词数不限。 37. Why did Bierman change his brand’s purpose at 14? ______________________________________________ 38. What has Bierman got in return from his experience? ______________________________________________ 39. What can you learn from Bierman’s story? ______________________________________________ 六、综合填空（每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。 Are you often ____40____ stress before an important exam, unable to sleep well at night?

After a short discussion, we made up our minds ____42____ (help) Mr Chen, an old man who lives alone.
