Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little brave r and make the world a little better.24. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.25. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.26. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.27. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.C“It's not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes? Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts—some common, others less so.Most of these ingredients(食材) come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it's like an ordinary wood. But there's one key difference: everything in it is edible. It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals.“It's the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about." He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city,“To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,”says Navis.“It's about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.”However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too.“When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar(鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge?”Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season.28. What can we learn about Navis's restaurant?A. It is well received by its guests.B. It serves food with moving stories.C. It offers experimental food for free.D. It is known for its rare food sources.29. How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods?A. It is a natural forest.B. Diverse plants coexist in it.C. Plants there take longer to grow.D. It provides safe food ingredients.30. What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis?A. Convenient locations.B. Expensive ingredients.C. Innovative menus.D. Fancy cooking techniques.31. What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. The sustainable farming practice.B. Farming with proper use of chemicals.C. Natural farming without human intervention.D. An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant.DMy father started learning French at 57, drawn by the potential benefits of bilingualism in delaying dementia (失智症). Now,20 years later, he's on his third teacher. Many people like my father have attempted to pick up a new language. But can this really boost brain health?According to experts, regularly using a new language brings cognitive(认知的) benefits. If you're trying to recall the right words in another language, your brain is forced to inhibit your mother tongue. This process, called cognitive inhibition, helps improve your brain function. Repeating this process makes your brain more resistant to diseases like dementia. The more you challenge your brain, the better it functions, even if your brain health starts to decline.However, evidence for the benefits of learning a second language in your 60s is weaker. Research by Dr. Leo Antoniou found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didn't see any difference in their cognition scores, but people who didn't saw their scores decline. Prof. Diana Smith's 2023 studies found similar results.Researchers offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results. One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers, probably of high cognitive level for their age, making it hard to see any improvements. “When choosing participants, we have to be careful, are they really representative of the population?” said Dr. Judith Ware. Another is that the language interventions were perhaps too short. These studies have used language lessons that “were very different in their length and frequency,” said Prof. Laura Grossman.To Dr. Antoniou, the limited findings are not entirely surprising. No one would say that learning a new languagefor six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life. But he does think that language lessons can provide cognitive benefits by being cognitively stimulating.Perhaps more important, Prof. Grossman said, learning another language offers other potential advantages, like traveling or connecting with new communities. My father, for example, has remained pen friends with his first teacher and traveled to France numerous times.And at 76, he's as sharp as ever.32. What happens in the process of “cognitive inhibition” ?A. Memory improves.B. Native language is held back.C. Dementia is cured.D. Brain health worsens.33. Which is a possible explanation for the disappointing research results?A. The intervention of the first language.B. The great length of the language course.C. The poor choice of research participants.D. The age difference of the research subjects.34. Whose opinion does the author support by mentioning his father's experience?A. Leo Antoniou's.B. Diana Smith's.C. Judith Ware's.D. Laura Grossman's.35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Is it never too late to learn a new language?B. Can learning a new language delay dementia?C. Why does my father start learning a new language?D. How does learning a new language benefit aging brain?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。

AWe can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to remember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains.So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement.FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope.IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors.REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protect them from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event.EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh.The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action.21.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To report new research.B.To provide some advice.C.To explain a problem.D.To define some terms.22.How can you do to help a listener “focus” on what you are saying?A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic.B.Do something humorous to get their attention.C.Make sure the information provided is correct.D.Speak as slowly and clearly as you possibly can.23.Explaining to listeners why your information is important is an example of ________.A. FOCUSB. IMAGERYC. REASONSD. ENGAGEMENTBSpecial boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet. Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of e-mail though, they’ve been few and far between.Tonight is New York’s Eve 2029 and there’s a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there’s something I have to do – The Ritual(惯例).I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear -- . I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the thrill of typing it in. “I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you. And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive? Questions surge into my mind.For the next two hours I sit writing. About what I’ve been doing for the last year, my failing health, my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage. Then about my goals and ambitions. Will he be interested? Do I climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do I get that novel published? the one that’s been rejected more times than I carte to think about.Finally, it’s finished. 11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient’s name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That completes the ritual!I walk over to my “special box”. It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting. I place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front. It’s dated 2019, and labelled “to be opened 31st December 2029”.The cycle is finally complete! I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, my eyes tearing up a little as I do so. Throughout the last ten long, eventful years, of life, death, joy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in this box for me, though I now have no memory of ever having written it.24.Why does the author receive fewer “important letters” these days ?A.He has moved from his original address.B.He is rarely in contact with his friends and family.C.People communicate with each other less often than before.D.Electronic communication has largely replaced physical letters.25.Who does the underlined word “he” in paragraph 4 refer to?A.The author himself.B.The author’s son.C.The author’s school friend.D.The author’s book publisher.26.Why does the author probably delete the completed letter from his computer?A.So that no one else will be able to read it.B.So that he won’t read it ahead of schedule.C.Because he decides at last not to send it.D.Because he wants forget what has happened.27.How does the author feel as he is about to open his special letter?A.RelievedB.MovedC.ExcitedD.AfraidCTexas rancher(牧场主) Charles Goodnight had a problem. He needed skilled cowboys to drive his herd of two thousand longhorn cattle to New Mexico to be sold. He couldn't offer highwages. He couldn't promise easy jobs or even nice weather. But he decided that decent, warm meals might entice men to work for him.In the mid-to-late 1800s, cattle drives sometimes took three to four months, and once the drive began, there were no stores for hundreds of miles. All the food and supplies needed for the trip were carried on two-wheeled carts. Usually, the cowboy's food was boring and unappetizing.Goodnight went to work and solved the problem. His invention of a mobile kitchen, the chuck wagon(四轮马车), got its name from the cowboy word for food, "chuck." Goodnight took an old army wagon and rebuilt it with Osage orange, a wood so tough that Indians used it to make bows. The wagon's iron axles were stronger than the wooden ones found on standard wagons, and the wider wheels lasted longer. Besides food, coffee sugar and eating utensils, it held everything from first-aid supplies to needles and thread. It even contained cooking stove.The first chuck wagon was an instant success. Eighteen cowhands joined Goodnight and his partner, Oliver Loving, to drive the cattle to New Mexico for a handsome profit. The route they took—later called the Goodnight-Loving Trail—became one of the most heavily used cattle trails in the Southwest.The chuck wagon soon was the backbone of all successful cattle drives. Other ranchers created their own moving kitchens, and eventually the Studebaker Company produced chuck wagons that sold for $75 to $100 apiece, about $1,000 today.The chuck wagon was much more than a mobile kitchen. Sometimes called "the trail drive's mother ship," it was like a magnet that drew the men together. The wagon and the ground around it were the cowboy's home. There he enjoyed hot meals, a warm fire, and good companionship. He could also get a bandage, a haircut, or horse liniment for his sore muscles. And there, under the stars and around the chuck wagon, he crawled into his bedroll each night.28. Who does the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 1 mean?A. InformB. DirectC. EnableD. Attract29. Why were cattle drives in the mid-to-late 1800s so tough ?A.All the cattle were carried on two-wheeled vehicles.B.Fresh food supplies were hard to find on the drive.C.There were not enough cowboys to drive the cattle.D.There was no place to store food and necessary supplies.30. What do we know about Goodnight’s chuck wagon from the text?A. It was stronger than the ordinary wagons.B. It was mainly used to provide first aid.C. It could be changed into a sleeping area.D. It was sold to other ranchers by Goodnight.31. What is the best title for the text?A.The Cowboys’ ProblemB.Goodnight-Loving TrailC.The Cowboys’ Home on WheelsD.Exciting Cattle Drives in the WestDDepending on what language you speak, your eye perceives colours – and the world –differently than someone else.The human eye can physically perceive millions of colours. But we don’t all recognise these colours in the same way. Some people can’t see differences in colours – so called colour blindness – due to a defect or absence of the cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But the distribution and density of these cells also varies across people with ‘normal vision’, causing us all to experience the same colour in slightly different ways.Language affects our colour perception too. Different languages and cultural groups also categorize colours differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone, only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool in those languages, and light as warm. So colours like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are glossed as warm colours. Other cultural groups have no word for “colours” at all.Remarkably, most of the world’s languages have five basic colo ur terms. As well as dark, light, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that refers to both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for “green” and “blue” but use one term to describe both colours. Also, Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages have two separate terms for blue – one referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek speakers, who have two fundamental colour terms to describe light and dark blue, are more likely to see these two colours as the same after living for long periods of time in the UK. There, these two colours are described in English by the same fundamental colour term: blue.Different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life, not only colour. Scientists are now investigating how different languages changes the way we perceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently32. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A. The medical causes of people’s colour blindness.B. The different types of colours that people can see.C. The physical causes of variation in people’s vision.D.

Blue and green.34. What do we know about the Russian language?A. It classifies colours as either warm or cold.B. It has more than one word for the colour blue.C. It mainly describes objects in terms of their colour.D. It has only five basic terms to describe colours.35. Why does the author mention Greek speakers living in England?A. To illustrate how social context can affect our senses.B. To provide an example of cultural miscommunication.C. To highlight the variation in the words used to describe colour.D. To demonstrate how languages can combine to produce new words.第二节( 共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10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。

But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster.All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance. "My mum's love was the sunshine that made me bright.

Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish's ingredients （原料）, the article says. For example, one English 5name of a famous Chinese dish appears as "Steamed Abalone with Shark's Fin and Fish Maw."Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, the author says it fails to describe the dish's rich cultural meaning and fascination （魅力）.

Light from the Sun is the most important of all. Stars give off their own light. The Moon does not make its own light. It can only reflect light from the Sun. Lightning zigzags (曲折前行) through storm clouds, making a very bright light. People who live near the North and South Poles sometimes can see the aurora(极光) in the sky. Some animals like fireflies and many sea animals are able to give off light from themselves! Chemicals inside their bodies react to give off light.However, plenty of light we see every day does not come from nature. It is artificial light. Artificial light is important. It allows people to work and travel at night. Headlights on our cars allow us to see the road at night. Streetlights help us to walk safely along the sidewalk. Airplanes take off and land on lighted runways. Artificial light makes our homes safer and more comfortable. It makes our lives easier and more fun. It enables us to have entertainment such as movies, video games, and TV. Artificial light has another important job. It can be used to carry information from one place to another.Take a moment to notice light and enjoy its beauty and wonder! Go outside on a sunny day. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Look at the stars in the night sky. When staying indoors, count the number of artificial light sources that you and your family use. 27．Where is this passage most probably from?A. A storybook.B.

It is a traditional Chinese art form that comes from southern China's Cantonese culture. The lead role in Yueju is good at both singing and fighting. Now many people go to the Cantonese Opera Art Museum in Guangzhou to learn about Cantonese opera and its culture, with a great increase in the number of young visitors. This is of great help in passing on and further developing this art form.In order to pass Cantonese opera down to the young, the museum organizes different activities including parent-child activities and Cantonese opera paper cutting. It has also started a teaching center to offer training courses to young people. The team of Yueju goes into schools to spread the culture of Cantonese opera.
