I was up before the others, before the birds, before the sun. I drank a cup of coffee, wolfed down a piece of toast,
put on my shorts and sweatshirt, and ___1___ my green running shoes. Then slipped quietly out the back door.
I moved quicker down the road. My breath formed rounded, frosty puffs, swirling into the fog. I enjoyed that
first physical awakening, that brilliant moment before the mind is fully clear, when the limbs and joints first begin to
___2___ and the material body starts to melt away. Solid to liquid.
Faster, I told myself. Faster. There were no cars, no people, no signs of life. I was all ___3___, the world to
myself and my thoughts.
On paper, I thought, I’m a(n)___4___, graduating from University of Oregon, earning a master’s from Stanford
and surviving a year long hitch in the U. S. Army. My rsum said I was a learned, accomplished soldier, a twenty-
four-year-old man in full... But why, I wondered, do I still feel like a kid? Worse, like the same shy, pale, rail-thin kid
I’d always been.
Like all my friends I wanted to be successful. Unlike my friends I didn’t know what that meant. Money? Wife?
Kids? House? Sure, if I was ___5___. These were the goals I was taught to aspire to, and part of me did aspire to
them instinctively. But deep down I was searching for something else, something more. I had a(n)___6___ sense that
our time is short, shorter than we ever know, short as a morning run, and I wanted mine to be meaningful. And
purposeful. And creative. And important. Above all... different.
I wanted to leave a ___7___ on the world.
I wanted to win.
No, that’s not right. I simply didn’t want to ___8___.
And then it happened. As my young heart began to pound faster, as my pink lungs ___9___ like the wings of a
bird, as the trees turned to greenish blurs, I saw it all before me, exactly what I wanted my life to be. Play.
Yes, I thought, that’s it. That’s the word. The secret of happiness, I’d always suspected, the essence of beauty or
truth, lay somewhere in that moment when the ball is in midair, when both boxers sense the ____10____ of the bell,
when the runners near the finish line and the crowd rises as one. There’s a kind of exuberant (兴高采烈的) clarity in
that pulsing half second winning and losing are decided. I wanted that, whatever that was, to be my life, my daily
life.

Karen Sturges was knitting a sweater for her daughter’s future baby. Bad news came — she was diagnosed
with cancer.
“What she was most concerned about was finishing the sweater,” said her daughter Annie Gatewood. “She
was just distraught when thinking she wasn’t going to be able to finish it.” Sturges worked on the sweater until four
days before she died in 2021, with it unfinished. No member of the family. knew how to knit.
Then in 2022, Gatewood was matched with a “finisher” Sarah in Portland, — one of the over 1,000 volunteers
who complete unfinished arts projects for grieving loved ones through a group called Loose Ends. Finishing
knitting the sweater, Sarah handed it off to Gatewood. “I saw her and burst into tears, because she looks like my
mom,” said Gatewood. “We know for sure my mom would have been just delighted.”
Kaplan and Simonic started Loose Ends. Both are expert knitters knowing what it is like to have a loved one
leave behind an unfinished project. The finisher doesn’t charge any money. The only cost is for mailing.
Opuda signed up as a finisher. She is crocheting (用钩针编织) a blue blanket for someone whose mother
passed away. The blanket was one of three the mother was working on for her kids throughout her cancer
treatments, and although they are not perfect, the mother kept working on it till the end. “People just don’t really
know how much time something takes, especially a blanket. Yet even through her illness and all her pain and
challenges, she still managed to make so much progress. I didn’t want her kids to lose that,” said Opuda.
“We all experience pain,” said Simonic. “You don’t know what someone’s going through on a day-to-day basis
that’s going to make them give up, but I do know these little acts of kindness make people realize there are people
out there willing to help.”
24. What can be learned about Loose Ends?
A. It charges receivers a lot. B. It consists of generous helpers.
C. It meets patients’ unreal wishes. D. It recycles valuable unfinished pieces.
25. What did Opuda want the blanket receivers to know about their mother?

C. She hoped to keep the family tradition. D. She was a well-trained crafter.

C. A small act of kindness can mean a lot. D. Actions speak louder than words.

A few years ago, the City Council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls.
The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the
fish a distorted view of reality. Aside from the measure’s significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an
interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true?
Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish’s. For decades they have been pursuing an
ultimate theory of everything — one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every
aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected
theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl. This concept
may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that
our senses and our science directly convey information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called
realism.
In physics, realism is becoming difficult to defend. Instead, the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of
today’s popular culture. For example, in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in
a simulated virtual reality created by intelligent computers. How do we know we are not just computer-generated
characters living in a Matrix-like world? If — like us — the beings in the simulated world could not observe their
universe from the outside, they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality.
Similarly, the goldfish’s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl. For instance, because light
bends as it travels from air to water, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would
be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame
of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of
objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish formed such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a
reasonable picture of reality.
The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing
different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different
theories in different situations. It is not the physicist’s traditional expectation for a theory of nature, nor does it
correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe.
27. What does the underlined word “distorted” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. False. B. Accurate. C. Distant. D. Original.
28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. The conventional insight of reality. B. The lasting conflict in physics.
C. The existence of the material world. D. The need for a complete theory.
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better.
B. People’s theories are influenced by their viewpoints.
C. An external world is independent of the observers.
D. Nature’s mysteries are best left undiscovered.

30. According to the passage, the author may agree that ______.
A. there is still possibility to unify different theories into a single one
B. multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real world
C. physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theory
D. various interpretations of the universe are welcomed
D
Though the spread of good reproduction of works of art can be culturally valuable, museums continue to promote
the special status of original work and highlight the authenticity of its exhibits. Unfortunately, this seems to place
severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.
One limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits. Art museums are often called “treasure
houses”. We are reminded of this even before we view a collection by the presence of security guards who keep us
away from the exhibits. In addition, a major collection like that of London’s National Gallery is housed in numerous
rooms, where a single piece of work is likely to be worth more than all the average visitor possesses. In a society that
judges the personal status of the individual so much by their material worth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed
by one’s own relative “worthlessness” in such an environment.
Furthermore, consideration of the “value” of the original work in its treasure house setting impresses upon the
viewer that since these works were originally produced, they have been assigned a huge value in terms of money by
some person or institution more powerful than themselves. Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is
going to alter that value, and so today’s viewer is discouraged from trying to extend that spontaneous, immediate,
self- reliant kind of interpretation which would originally have met the work.
The visitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such a variety of paintings, drawings and sculptures
brought together in an environment for which they were not originally created. This “displacement effect” is further
heightened by the huge volume of exhibits. In the case of a major collection, there are probably more works on
display than we could realistically view in weeks or even months.
This is particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factor in the appreciation of all art forms. A
fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed time over which a painting
is viewed. Operas, novels and poems are read in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has no clear place at
which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Thus art works themselves encourage us to view them superficially
without appreciating the richness of de tail and labor that is involved.
Consequently, the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, a specialized academic approach
devoted to “discovering the meaning” of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in harmony, with the
museum’s function, since the approach is dedicated to seeking out and conserving “authentic”, “original” readings of
the exhibits.
31. The writer mentions London’s National Gallery to illustrate ______.
A. the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art
B. the need to put individual well- being above large- scale artistic schemes
C. the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic values
D. the negative effect a museum can have on visitors’ opinion of themselves
32. The writer says that today viewers may be unwilling to criticize a work because they ______.
A. lack the knowledge needed B. fear it may have financial implications
第6页/共19页
C. have no real concept of the work’s value D. feel their personal reaction is of no significance
33. The appreciation of a painting does not ______.
A. call for a specific beginning or ending B. involve direct contact with an audience
C. require a specific location for performance D. need the involvement of other professionals
34. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Original work: reduction to value of art works B. Original work: art historians’ bread and butter
C. Original work: killer of artistic appreciation D. Original work: substitute for reproduction

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to
wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on
many fitness enthusiasts’ minds. ___35___
If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with
power. ___36___ These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body. Muscle preservation is
also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen (氮) is critical for processing protein that builds
healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one.
Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to
exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further
claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat.
___37___ It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more
likely to overeat.
Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat. ___38___ For example,
if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider
drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is
complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack.
___39___ Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. Think thoroughly and
discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice.
A. A person doing a 30- minute session a day may have a problem with fasted workouts.
B. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights.
C. Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person.
D. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity.
E. Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice.
F. However, a fasted workout might not work for you.
G. Not all foods are created equal.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Good Taste of Knowledge
The aim of education or culture is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in
conduct. The cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one
who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to love and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge.
Nothing is more annoying than to meet a person at a party whose mind is crammed (填塞) full with historical
dates and figures and who is extremely well-posted on current international affairs, but whose attitudes or points of
view are all wrong. I have met such people. They do have great academic knowledge, but no good judgment or
taste. Being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a
matter of artistic judgment. In speaking of a scholar, the Chinese generally distinguish between their scholarship
(学术成就), conduct and taste.
An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste
comes charm. Now, to have taste requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, the independence of
judgment, and the unwillingness to be affected by any form of power. When a man is wrong, he is wrong, and there
is no need for one to be impressed by a great name or by the number of books that he has read and we haven’t.
Taste, then, is closely associated with courage, as the Chinese always associated dan (“胆”) with shi (“识”).
And courage or independence of judgment, as we know, is such a rare virtue among humankind. We see this
intellectual courage or independence during the childhood of all thinkers and writers who in later life amount to
anything. Such a person refuses to be impressed by a philosophic vogue or a fashionable theory, even though it is
backed by the greatest name. This is taste in knowledge. No doubt such intellectual courage or independence of
judgment requires a certain childish, naive confidence in oneself, but this self is the only thing that one can cling to,
and the moment a student gives up his right of personal judgment, he is in for accepting all the dishonest and
insincere of life.
40. According to the author, what is the goal of education?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
41. How is having good taste in knowledge different from being knowledgeable?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
43. Please name one person with the qualities of dan and shi in Chinese history and explain what about this person
makes you think so. (In about 40 words)
