I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary
works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were
what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions
themselves. Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What's 0.99 rounded to the
nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99 = I. Somchow, I
thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from I, there's still a 0.01 difference. That means
even if two things are only a ltte different, they are still different, so doesn't that make them
completely different?
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): I = 0.9, which
could also be expressed as 1 = .99999.... repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was
unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless,
number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were
connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side
of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The
concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But
then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of
limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.
So that's what life is. Obijective but imaginative. Unchangeable but lniess. Life is an
equation with two sides that balances isef out. Sill, we can't ever truly seem to put the perfet
words to it. So pssibl numbers can express ideas as eually well as words can. For now, let's
leave it at that: 1 = 99999... and live a life like it.
24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?
A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins.
C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power.
25. What made the author find the equation fascinating?
A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal.
C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers.
26. Which of the fllowing can replace the underlined word“paralleled”in paragraph 6?
A. Measured. B. Composed. C. Mirrored. D. Influenced.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations
C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers
C
Why does grandpa have ear hair? Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know
“why and“how that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a
soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because it's not fiun to learm. I am
shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in
my children. Where did I go wrong?
My child's experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that
curiosity defined as“spontaneous (自发的) investigation and eagerness for new information
-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil
details the development of wonder 一 a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and
understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common
sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of
life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing
causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are
sensitive to the others' knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning.
Children's questions, particularly those about why and“how, support the development of
causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children's causal
mechanisms. In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children's ongoing wonder
by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their
abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a
desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given
me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
28. What is a common problem among fourth graders?
A. They upset their parents too often. B. They ask too many strange questions.
C. Their love for fun disappears quickly. D. Their desire to learn declines sharply.
29. What can be inferred about children's causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?
A. They control children's sensitivity. B. They slightly change in early childhood.
C. They hardly support children's reasoning. D. They develop through children’s questioning.
30. How can parents support children's ongoing wonder according to Keil?
A. By monitoring their games. B. By welcoming inquiring minds.
C. By estimating their abilities. D. By providing reasonable conclusions.
31. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A news report. C. A research paper. D. A children's story.
D
Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest一 an area about the size of
Iceland一 because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world's forests
could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab.
This makes it possible to“grow a wooden product without cutting down trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are
cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients
and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune
the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape
the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally,
the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells
of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials
with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant
materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like
characteristics. What's more, it's to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster
than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity!
Research of this kind is ground-breaking.“This work demonstrates the great power of a
technology, says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. The real opportunity here is to be at its
best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the
requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to 'grow’ any
wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can't achieve.
32. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research?
A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity.
C. To reduce tree losses. D. To predict forest disappearance.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research?
A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key procedures.
C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties.
34. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials?
A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity.
B. They are better than naturally grown plants.
C. Their cells' shapes mainly rely on their density.
D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics.
35. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain?
A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments.
B. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products.
C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry.
D. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth.

helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 38 . They use shapes,
colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different
people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.
39 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real.

in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to
display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others
are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms.
Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 40 .

In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our
reporting.“Our readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday's school
newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas? she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the
previous night by one point. Sports stories are fun, she said,“but not good enough for the front
page. We need something to really get people 's attention.
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming,“Perry is
missing! Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. H
played an important role in students' lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant
presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry's empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from th
crowd came over and showed me a photo. You're a reporter for the school paper, right? I
happened to take this yesterday, he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball
player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game! Ashley cried. We
hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline
Deerfeld Stole Perry. This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it, Ashley said
confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm,
but our game against Deerfield hadn't started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken
Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely
accused someone.
I went to Perry's usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. He's not missing.
He's retired. He's ready for some quieter days, he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told
Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.

To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the Deerfield Stole Perry story.

Hello, everyone! Our group believes that online voting is a fantastic idea to
select the top ten campus singers.
Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that online voting is convenient and
accessible to everyone. With just a few clicks on a computer or a smartphone, we can
easily cast votes to support our favourite singers. Besides, online voting allows for a
wider reach and engagement, breaking down the boundaries of physical locations
and enabling more people to participate in the voting
process.
Overall, we think online voting is a convenient and inclusive means for choosing the
top ten campus singers. Thank you for listening! (97词)
参考范文二
Hello, everyone! Though online voting is widely used, its draw backs are
undeniable. Let me share our concerns about using it to select the top ten campus
singers.
Firstly, not all of us have access to the Internet or electronic devices, so the
voting result can not reflect the true preferences of the entire student community.!
Besides, cheating is a significant concern. Contestants may create multiple accounts
to vote for themselves or ask for votes from acquaintances. In this way, the voting
result fails to show the Contestants’vocal abilities and stage performance.
Overall, while online voting has its benefits, we_ should also guarantee the
fairness and reliability of the contest. Thank you for listening! (108词)

To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the“Deerfield Stole
Perry”story.“This is the very story we need to attract more readers, she argued. To
convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie.
Noticing her hesitant expression,I further explained the potential harm it would
cause to the player and our, paper 's reputation. After some discussion, Ashley finally
gave in,“OK, let's try with real stories. Then I went to gather all the necessary
information to write an article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over
the years. (87词)
On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline Bve-Bye, Perry”on the front
page. Soon, it sparked heated discussions among students about Perry. Many were
disappointed with Perry' ssudden departure, but were comforted by the fact that he
was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students
even requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story's success,
Ashley came to me and said sincerely,“Y ou are right! It's a good story.' Her words
brought me a great sense of fulillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw
attention, but theyhave the power to touch and connect. (93词)
