B
Five years ago, a couple found a baby owl, near-death, on their lawn. They
consulted with me because of my experience with owls and hawks. Eventually my
wife and I undertook the task of treating the owl, Alfie, waiting out a
developmental delay (most of her flight feathers came especially late that first
summer), and then we taught her to fly and hunt. Alfie disappeared for a week.
Then she chose to return, centering her territory (地盘) on our backyard. I put a
nest box on my writing studio.
Alfie's first free-living year— mating, raising her first baby, coincided with the
COVID-19 that limited us to our yard. Friends said the birds were singing aloud
and happily. From Alfie's performance, I saw humans' unrest and worry when
facing the unexpected virus. When Alfie and her mate, Plus-One, played in the
shade, the daily rhythms and quietness of the owls' world contrasted with our life.
Many cultures view owls as messengers of God. However, Alfie is flesh and
feathers: her heart pumps blood red as ours. She has her comforts and fears. She is
a very real little being overall. Yet, throughout the isolation to prevent the spread of
disease, Alfie loosed herself, living comfortably with her mate in the yard, which
certainly inspired me and my family with hope. She is, in reality, a messenger, one
conveying the real meaning of life.
To be fully present in life and love, so natural for Alfie, remains a task to finish
for me. Alfie is the perfect little philosophical master. She enjoys a freedom
unpolluted by criticism or doubt, and a liberty as the air flows beneath her wings.
Resisting nothing, she is pure presence, here now. Perhaps I'd long labored toward
the place where Alfie was effortlessly taking me, a sense of openness, showing
what's possible when we mess up our accustomed boundaries.
Alfie remains our magical light of the nighttime backyard. By day she usually
stays in a couple of favorite shaded spots. The choice is always hers. Free within
limits; that's the universe for her. It can inspire a life's work.
24.What can we learn about Alfie from the first two paragraphs?
A. She had a quick recovery.
B. She was first found by the author.
C. She set up a family in the backyard.
D. She was badly affected by the COVID-19.
25.How does Alfie inspire the author and his family with hope?
A. She lives a relaxed and comfortable life.
B. She has no fears at all.
C. She has red blood as humans.
D. She is viewed as a messenger of God.
26.What does the author mean by describing Alfie's freedom as “unpolluted by
criticism or doubt” in paragraph 4?
A. Alfie is not influenced by social development.
B. Alfie is free from physical and mental limitations.
C. Alfie is completely independent and self-sufficient.
D. Alfie is not affected by external judgment or uncertainty.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A. The author's successful rescue of an owl.
B. The author's reflection on life through an owl.
C. The author's precious friendship with an owl.
D. The author's successful fight against a pandemic with an owl.
C
Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing
numbers of people with years of schooling are actually illiterate and ignorant. This
month's Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more
reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a
superficial(肤浅的)and scattered manner— or even not to read at all. This
increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That's frightening，because “higher-level reading” has been essential to
civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy.
Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “one-third of
Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of
adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately,
post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades.
And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that
literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of
schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading:
“Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious
reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” When you
read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of
pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the world's complexity. But
online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling(滚
屏)”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as
playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was
wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He
had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom
absorb fine perspectives.
In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are
returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long
texts, which is a worrying problem.
28.What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1?
A. Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy.
B. Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading.
C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers.
D. Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading.
29.What is the purpose of the figures used in paragraph 2?
A. To display the popularity of digital reading.
B. To highlight the advantages of deep reading.
C. To present the unfavorable situation of literacy.
D. To stress the illiterate's lower-level reading skills.
30.What does the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Effects. B. functions C. Features. D. Drawbacks.
31.What might be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Advantages of digital reading. B. Benefits of higher-level reading.
C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Measures to practice deep reading.
D
Plato believed that men are divided into three classes: gold, silver and bronze.
Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist, argued that “the vital few” contributed to
most progress. Such viewpoints are taboo (禁忌) today in public life. Politicians
avoid talking of a “leadership class” or “the vital few”. School recruitment turns
away from picking winners. Universities welcome the masses: more people now
teach at British universities than attended them in the 1950s.
In the private sector, things could hardly be more different. The world’s best
companies struggle tirelessly to find and keep the vital few. They offer them fat
pay packets, extra training, powerful instruction and more challenging assignments.
Private-equity (私人股权) firms rely heavily on a few stars. Firms in emerging
markets are desperate to find high-flyers who can cope with rapid growth and fast-
changing environments competently.
Few people know more about how companies manage talent than Bill Conaty
and RamCharan. Mr. Conaty led the human-resources department at General
Electric (GE) for 14 years. Mr. Charan has spent the past few decades presenting
proposals to some celebrated entrepreneurs. Their recent book, The Talent Masters,
provides a nice mix of portraits of well-known talent factories, such as GE and
Procter & Gamble (P&G 宝洁).
Successful companies make sure that senior managers are involved with “talent
development”. Jack Welch and A. G. Lafley, former bosses of GE and P&G,
claimed that they spent 40% of their time on personnel. Andy Grove, who ran Intel,
a chipmaker, obliged all the senior people, including himself, to spend at least a
week a year instructing high-flyers. Nitin Paranjpe, the boss of Hindustan Unilever,
recruits people from campuses and regularly visits high-flyers in their offices.
Elitism (精英主义) has its own drawbacks. In their rush to classify people,
companies may miss potential stars. Those who are singled out for special
treatment can become too full of themselves.
It may also lead to social inequality and the concentration of power. Since elitism
tends to focus only on the interests of a few, they may ignore the needs and voices
of the majority, leading to discontent and resistance in society.
32. The change that occurred in British universities reflects that .
A. more students enroll for schools
B. people of today are much cleverer
C. UK attaches importance to education
D. elitism in public organizations declines
33. Which people belong to “high-flyers” based on the passage?
A. Potential clients. B. Faithful employees.
C. Capable managers. D. Celebrated politicians.
34. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A. By listing examples. B. By classification.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By describing a process.
35. Which statement can be inferred from the passage?
A. Discrimination in workplaces will get more serious.
B. Famous companies’ elitism management is worth trying.
C. The talented masters offer advice to some leading bosses.
D. Elitism may get some potential talented people excluded.

In a world that often feels fast-paced and restrained to routines, the desire for
van(房 车 ) life and mobile living has captured the hearts of many seeking an
alternative lifestyle. 36 From the freedom to explore new horizons to fostering
a minimalist mindset, here are some captivating advantages of embracing van life.
Liberation from Materialism
The confined space of a van encourages a minimalist lifestyle, where
experiences are valued over possessions. 37 With minimal monthly expenses,
such as parking fees and fuel costs, van dwellers can allocate resources to
experiences rather than high rent or house payments. This mobile living is supported
by the degrowth movement, which believes that economies should focus on securing
the minimal basic needs instead of consumption and consumerism 消费主义.
Exploration and Flexibility
The ability to follow adventure wherever it takes you is one of the most amazing
aspects of living in a van. You can choose to wake up at dawn over the ocean one
day and find yourself in a forested mountainside the next. Living in a van frequently
involves being close to the outdoors surrounded by the beauty of nature. 38
Minimal Ecological Footprint
39 They adopt solar panels and efficient water systems, further
minimizing their impact on the environment. People who choose to live in mobile
homes believe that eventually, global warming and extreme weather might bring an
end to sedentary(定居的) living patterns.
Through the open road, the beauty of nature, and the friendship of fellow
adventurers, van life presents a unique avenue for enriching the human experience.
40
A. It's thrilling to travel the world.
B. Many van lifers tend to go green.
C. Living in a van can often be more cost-effective.
D. They'll find a sense of freedom of constant exploration.
E. The natural world becomes an essential part of your daily life
F. Better yet, it offers a way to reconnect with the essence of living.
G. The concept of van life offers benefits beyond just a change of scenery.
