An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind-hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn't just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man's eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl's kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer.

It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl's are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic（同情的）and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else's life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24.

A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B. A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C.

A trendy and fashionable magazine featuring the latest styles and trends.CChina's tea culture is an ancient and profound（意义深远的）cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people's search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant(抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28.

A Long March-5 rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China's space exploration program. The launch not only shows China's advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and space lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang'e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side's environment, geological features, and material make-up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender（上升器）, and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South Pole-Aitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang'e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon's formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial（天体）neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long-term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang'e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China's strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32. What is the main purpose of the Chang'e-6 mission?A. To build a base on the far side of the moon.B. To study how the moon moves around.C. To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D. To look for water on the moon.33. Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A. It's different from the side we can see.B. It's the same as the side we can see.C. We know a lot about it.D. It has no rocks or soil.34. What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A. No change in the future.B. New chances for space activities.C. Fewer friends for China in space.D. No new technologies.35. What could be a suitable title for this passage?A. "The Mystery of the Moon"B. "The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory"C. "Space Exploration and Challenges"D. "China's Chang'e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon's Far Side"第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

expertise.In the highly reviewed Shakespeare(2007),he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in222pages;A Short History of Nearly Everything(2003)was his624-page analysis of“everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation”—and it remains the best-selling science book of the21st century so far.Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body,which promises us a“head to toe”tour in138pages?In his books for adult readers,Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast,complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative,filled with tiny facts and odd stories.His latest book,which follows his adult title The Body (2020),is aimed at children as young as eight,for whom this proven writing style works well.“No doubt about it,the human body is a truly remarkable thing,”Bryson writes,and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most.Did you know that you blink14,000times a day?Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you?And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line,it would reach10billion miles across the solar system?Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief.The tongue,for example,receives only a paragraph,while,a chapter,entitled‘Poo and Farts’,is relatively detailed:“In your life,you’ll probably poo the weight of5cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of60.So that’s not a terrible result.”Biology books can be heavy weather;but Bryson’s skill,as ever,is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.4.What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body(2020)have in common?A.They are easy to read.B.They are both about physics.C.They are intended for adults.D.They are both best-selling books.5.What is the purpose of Paragraph3?A.To analyze the structure of the book.B.To illustrate the attraction of the book.C.To show the scientific value of the book.D.To display the main contents of the book.6.What does the underlined phrase“heavy weather”mean in the last paragraph?A.Packed with facts.B.Weather-related.C.Hard to understand.D.Popular and readable.7.What is the text?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on biology.C.A news report on science.D.A biography of a writer.CStrategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers(高分子聚合物)actually makes them harder to tear,researchers report in the June23Science.Polymers are used in car tires,and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.When tires rub against the road,they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers,which pollute waterways and air.Every year,tires release an estimated6million metric tons of these microplastics into environment.Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.To make such tough materials,Stephen Craig,a chemist at Duke University,and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers.These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors,and they were specifically designed to break apart easily.At the microscopic scale,the polymers act like a tangle(乱团)of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape,says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang,a chemist at MIT.When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti,the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected.But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take,Craig says.The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains.Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers,which requires more stretching force overall.This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger.But unlike in similar materials,the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness(风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics,potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.8.What benefit does the new material bring?A.It meets the road standard.B.It weakens plastic polymers.C.It releases less microplastics.D.It reduces the cost of car tires.9.What can we know about the tangle material?A.It follows the pattern of spaghetti.B.It is designed to fall apart easily.C.The polymers help keep its shape.D.The larger tangle is harder to break.10.What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?A.The weakness of the cross-linker.B.The strength of the polymer chains.C.The number of the cross-linkers used.D.The path the tear takes through the material.11.What can we learn about the finding?A.It initially uses weak connectors.B.It sacrifices stiffness for toughness.C.It lengthens the lifespan of car tires.D.It removes annual microplastic pollution.DEver feel disconnected during a stressful event?That could be your brain protecting you.During traumatic(痛苦的)situations,people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience.These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation,a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind.But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events?Typically,the sympathetic nervous system,which is responsible for our“fight or flight”response,activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger.Mammals,including humans,evolved to have this response,as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger.Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible.Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain,emotional pain or both.Oftentimes,victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation.Nevertheless,problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma,as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms,for example,help from a professional.Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress,like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers.Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks.But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it.After all,it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation.But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful,so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph1?A.It defines what dissociation is.B.It emphasizes the value of dissociation.C.It lists different symptoms of disconnect.D.It explains why we experience stressful events.13.How does dissociation work on victims of abuse?A.By erasing their memories.B.By getting rid of their emotional pain.C.By protecting victims from physical pain.D.By distancing the victims mentally from the reality.14.What might happen if people continue to dissociate?A.Failing to focus on tasks.B.Meeting work deadlines.C.Having a better quality of life.D.Relying on other coping mechanisms.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Traumatic events are avoidable.B.Dissociation needs to be handled properly.C.People’s well-being is based on the distance.D.There’re enough coping strategies for traumas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Information第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）AYear of GivingYesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me. I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willing accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say, I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.56. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.A.help the charityB. remember his motherC. make an explosionD. fulfill a wish if his mum57. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action58. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.A. he didn’t need other’s helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didn’t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money59. We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donationsD. human’s good natureBMars on EarthDevon Islander has always been a cold and uninhabited(无人居住的) place in the Canadian Arctic. Day after day there are high winds and the temperature is below freezing. But for the first time, despite the terrible weather conditions .Devon Islander is the new home for a group of explorers from NASA. They are living here for a months in order to train and learn how to live and work on Mars. The group’s members come from various backgrounds and nationalities, but they all have the same purpose: to find out how people can live on Mars in the future.They have chosen Devon Islander because the environment and landscape is similar in many ways to Mars. The surface is freezing cold and the ground is rough. However, there are some differences on Mars, where the atmosphere is poisonous to breathe, DevonIslander is easier to travel to and it has its own dangers that you won’t find on Mars. For example, you might meet a hungry polar bear on Devon Islander!One thing the learn wants to develop is suitable clothing for Mars. This includes a space suit. The suit they are testing at the moment is strong enough but it’s too difficult and tiring. In addition, people will need to do experiment on Mars while wearing the suit so they have to be able to move around easily. One team member, Andy Overbeeke, specializes in space suit engineering. He explains: “You have to think about what they’re really going to operate in.”Another part of daily life on Mars will be meals and food. Creating a new home on Mars requires a lot of food. So the big question is: can you grow plants in order to survive? Scientists believe that growing plants on Mars might be possible. Mars and Earth have many similarities. They both have about the same amount of dry land and a 24-hour day. However, the atmosphere on Mars is totally different, so Canadian scientist Alain Berinstain is attempting to grow plants in a special greenhouse that you could also build on Mars. The greenhouse needs to run 365 days a year, so it uses a combination of solar energy and wind power.People living on Mars will also want their own transportation. For this, the team on Devon Island have built the “Martian Rover”. It’s a huge heavy vehicle that can travel over rocks and rough terrain. This kind of testing takes many days but so far the work has been valuable and effective. As a result, the whole team now believes their work is crucial and that it’s possi ble for humans to land on the planet Mars and create a home there. Addy Overbeeke adds, “We know that it’s man’s destiny to go out and do space exploration. It’s always time to think about what you want to do in the future.”60. The explorers are living on Devon Island to ____.A. receive a training in astronomyB. set up an advanced research labC. learn how to live and work on MarsD. make a living in an uninhabited land61. To keep food supply on Mars, people should ____.A. create a new homeB. improve the atmosphereC. build special greenhousesD. reduce the area of dry land62. According to the passage, we know that ____.A. humans may live on Mars in the futureB. Martian Rover has failed to stand the testC. Mars and Devon Island have the same soil conditionD. scientists have mastered the method to grow plants on MarsCWhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case. This problem starts bac k in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .The smartest don’t want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that art average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed. A smart person who can’t stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slacken are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people. The figured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves don’t want to do.Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don’t like to follow th e KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald’s complex, but in reality, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can’t be screwed up by theiraverage employees. So, being smart or talented isn’t going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more options you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the“golden handcuffs”dilemma.So, don’t be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.63. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe ____.A. the work is not divided equallyB. they can perform better than othersC. the group projects are too stressfulD. average students are unwilling to participate64. McDonald’s is used as an example to prove that ____.A. a business calls for smart people’s talentB. average employees can perform complex tasksC. smart people are important for a successful businessD. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business65. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people ____.A. have fewer options in a companyB. risk more when starting businessC. are unwilling to put money to a businessD. can have a good income in many different fields66. What is the best title for the passage?A. Potentials for SuccessB. Bases for BusinessC. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success?D. Talent Means Successful Business?DWe know that hugs make us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect r the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.It’s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs----like social support more broadly ----could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict.“We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, “the study’s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. “We test ed whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receivinghugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.”In the experiment , over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (感知) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks . They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received bugs that day.Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms. “This suggests that being hugg ed by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,” Cohen said. “The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the phys ical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.”If you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness.67. In Paragraph 1, the underlined words “wand off “can be replaced by ____.A. produceB. increaseC. preventD. support68. Dr. Sheldon Cohen’s experiment shows that ____.A. hugs can hide serious illness symptomsB. social conflicts can monitor signs of infectionC. social support can reduce the risk of having a coldD. depression and anxiety result from less social support69. The passage aims to convey that ____.A. hugs can have protective effectsB. social support can sure diseasesC. interpersonal conflicts cause infectionsD. stress can weaken our immune system70. The passage is most likely to be found in ____.A. a social science magazineB. a commercial brochureC. a medical reportD. an academic essay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恩给你填入空白处的最佳选项。
