During my career in the past years, I’ve been fired a few times. The last time was about five years ago.
At the time, I co-owned a literary agency. I agreed to take on a giant project for a major client. I worked my tail off about a year, focusing just on this one client. Meanwhile my partner and associates took care of everyone else. We all thought it was a good bet. But in the end, the client fired me and cooperated with an agency who promised to get him a major book deal with a New York publishing house and an appearance on Oprah. I was left high and dry with nothing to show for my year-long investment.
The worst part was that I did not see it coming. I thought I had done a great job, and we had enjoyed a long-term personal relationship. But my client had his eye on bigger things and decided I couldn’t take him there, so he abandoned me without discussion.
The thing I finally learned from this experience was that clients and customers can be changeable. So never put all your eggs in one basket.
This wasn’t the only mistake I’d made in my career. Some of the mistakes I had made got me fired. That got my attention and furthered my education in the school of hard knocks.
Chances are that you are going to be fired at some point in your career. Last May, 1.7 million workers in America were laid off or fired. And according to the Labor Department, that was during month of generally good economic news. The trick — after being fired — is to try to push bitterness aside and learn from it. Failure can be a great teacher, but we have to listen.
4. Why did the author only focus on one project
A. His client required him to do so.
B. He considered it would be a safe bet.
C. It can give him an appearance on Oprah.
D. There were no other projects in his agency.
5. Why was the author abandoned
A. He caused some trouble for his client.
B. His client wanted to teach him a lesson.
C. He couldn’t satisfy his client’s demands.
D. His client was afraid of destroying their friendship.
6. What lesson did the author probably learn
A. He should have spread his risk.
B. He should have tried his best to do better.
C. He shouldn’t have worked on giant projects.
D. He shouldn’t have made friends with his clients.
7. What did the author mainly write the text for
A. To show the importance of failure
B. To tell us how to face getting fired.
C. To share a most horrible experience.
D. To explain why people easily get fired.
C
At ancient sites across the Amazon River basin, mysterious plots of unusually rich soil dot (点缀) the landscape. Scientists have long debated the origin of this “dark earth”, which is darker in color than surrounding soils and richer in carbon. Some people think this dark earth formed naturally, but the latest research has shown that modern Kuikuro people in Brazil create similar soil around their villages on purpose, which adds evidence to the idea that long-ago Amazons deliberately made such soil too. Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interviews of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns. “When you plant in hilly land, the soil is weak,” explained elder Kanu Kuikuro in one of the interviews. That is why we throw the ash, manioc peelings and manioc pulp. When comparing soil samples from ancient and modern sites, researchers found “striking similarities” — both were far less acidic than surrounding soils and contained higher levels of plant-friendly nutrients.
Analyses also revealed that dark earth holds twice the amount of carbon as surrounding soils on average. Scans (扫描) of the Xingu region suggest that the area is dotted with dark earth, and that hold as much as about 9 million tons of carbon — the annual carbon emissions of a small, industrialized country. “This number could roughly equal the annual carbon emissions of the United States when all dark earth across the Amazon is taken into consideration,” Perron says.
Figuring out the true value of carbon stored in the Amazon’s dark earth will require more data. Still, the research has significant influences on the Amazon’s future. The technique highlights how ancient people were able to live in the Amazon by developing sustainable farming that doubled as a carbon-storing technique. With more and more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, it could also provide a blueprint for developing methods of sustainably locking atmospheric carbon in the soil, helping fight climate change.
8. What can we infer from the dark earth across the Amazon River basin
A. They are more acidic than surrounding soils.
B. They contain more organic nutrients.
C. They formed naturally.
D. They contain less carbon.
9. Why does the author mention the annual carbon emissions of the US
A. To explain the difficulty of protecting dark earth.
B. To show the wide distribution of dark earth in Amazon.
C. To stress the huge carbon-storing capability of dark earth.
D. To reveal the large carbon emissions of the United States.
10. What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. The importance of developing sustainable farming.
B. The advanced farming technology in ancient tomes.
C. A possible solution to climate change.
D. A way of green agriculture.
11. Which is the best title of the text
A. Urgency of Sustainable Development B. Facts About the Dark Earth
C Advantages of the Dark Earth D. Wisdom of Ancient Amazons
D
Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic (正宗的) local snacks.
In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts (爱好者) to act as tour guides. A young entrepreneur (主办者) based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account recently, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”.
Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has established Citywalk routes using public bus routes to help day-trippers reach more far-flung districts by public transport and continue on foot.
Even though Citywalk is a relatively niche and new phenomenon, industry insiders say that its potential is huge. Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences in a bid to attract potential customers.
Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences that align with their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands. (CGTN)
12. What is the main concept of Citywalk as described in the text
A. Exploring cities through virtual reality. B. Guided tours centred on history.
C. Leisurely urban strolls with diverse exploration. D. A competitive challenge to visit landmarks.
13 Why did the young entrepreneur create Citywalk routes in various cities
A. To free outdoor museums for visitors. B. To engage more enthusiastic tour guides.
C. To promote urban folk culture research. D. To offer distinctive city exploration experiences.
14. What does the underlined word “niche” most likely mean in paragraph 5
A. Specialized. B. Pricey. C. Adventurous. D. Demanding.
15. What is the attitude of the author towards the trend
A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Optimistic.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a beautiful sunny morning in early summer, when the world seemed full of sunlight and new green leaves. I was in a good mood as my parents had just given me $300 for my daily expenses during the week that they would be away in Mexico to visit my mother’s sick grandfather. I was extremely overjoyed, thinking hard about the things I could do with the money. If I survived on bread and butter the whole week, I would have an unexpected windfall of $ 200 to buy the latest Kobe Bryant basketball shoes! What a terrific idea!
As usual, the physical education class was thrilling. I felt most at case on the basketball court. After playing several fierce games, I could hardly catch my breath as I headed back towards the classroom, sweaty and exhausted. When I entered, I found my classmates gathered around Steven’s desk as he searched through his books and some other personal items anxiously. Steven had always been popular. Not only was he intelligent and well-mannered, but he also came from a well-off family. And he shared everything he had with us.
Right away, I learned Steven had lost the money he would donate to a children’s welfare institute that afternoon. Then I informed Miss Jones, the class teacher. She rushed over immediately and organized a search around the classroom. We stood by our desks and emptied the contents of our schoolbags onto the desk for inspection.
It was my turn. As Miss Jones took out the $ 300 from my wallet, the class fell into a shock. I didn’t know the amount lost was exactly $ 300 until then. I kept proving my innocence, but in vain. Miss Jones confiscated (没收) the $ 300 and decided I was getting kicked out of the school. I stayed home alone the whole week, living only on bread. I felt wronged, angry, and loss of self-esteem.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, my parents returned home and talked with me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

During my career in the past years, I’ve been fired a few times. The last time was about five years ago.
At the time, I co-owned a literary agency. I agreed to take on a giant project for a major client. I worked my tail off about a year, focusing just on this one client. Meanwhile my partner and associates took care of everyone else. We all thought it was a good bet. But in the end, the client fired me and cooperated with an agency who promised to get him a major book deal with a New York publishing house and an appearance on Oprah. I was left high and dry with nothing to show for my year-long investment.
The worst part was that I did not see it coming. I thought I had done a great job, and we had enjoyed a long-term personal relationship. But my client had his eye on bigger things and decided I couldn’t take him there, so he abandoned me without discussion.
The thing I finally learned from this experience was that clients and customers can be changeable. So never put all your eggs in one basket.
This wasn’t the only mistake I’d made in my career. Some of the mistakes I had made got me fired. That got my attention and furthered my education in the school of hard knocks.
Chances are that you are going to be fired at some point in your career. Last May, 1.7 million workers in America were laid off or fired. And according to the Labor Department, that was during month of generally good economic news. The trick — after being fired — is to try to push bitterness aside and learn from it. Failure can be a great teacher, but we have to listen.
4. Why did the author only focus on one project
A. His client required him to do so.
B. He considered it would be a safe bet.
C. It can give him an appearance on Oprah.
D There were no other projects in his agency.
5. Why was the author abandoned
A. He caused some trouble for his client.
B. His client wanted to teach him a lesson.
C. He couldn’t satisfy his client’s demands.
D. His client was afraid of destroying their friendship.
6. What lesson did the author probably learn
A. He should have spread his risk.
B. He should have tried his best to do better.
C. He shouldn’t have worked on giant projects.
D. He shouldn’t have made friends with his clients.
7. What did the author mainly write the text for
A. To show the importance of failure
B. To tell us how to face getting fired.
C. To share a most horrible experience.
D. To explain why people easily get fired.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“I worked my tail off about a year, focusing just on this one client. Meanwhile my partner and associates took care of everyone else. We all thought it was a good bet.(我累死累活了一年，只关注这一个客户。与此同时，我的搭档和同事们照顾其他人。我们都认为这是一个很明智的事。)”可知，作者只关注一个项目是因为他认为这是一个很明智的事。故选B。

At ancient sites across the Amazon River basin, mysterious plots of unusually rich soil dot (点缀) the landscape. Scientists have long debated the origin of this “dark earth”, which is darker in color than surrounding soils and richer in carbon. Some people think this dark earth formed naturally, but the latest research has shown that modern Kuikuro people in Brazil create similar soil around their villages on purpose, which adds evidence to the idea that long-ago Amazons deliberately made such soil too. Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interviews of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns. “When you plant in hilly land, the soil is weak,” explained elder Kanu Kuikuro in one of the interviews. That is why we throw the ash, manioc peelings and manioc pulp. When comparing soil samples from ancient and modern sites, researchers found “striking similarities” — both were far less acidic than surrounding soils and contained higher levels of plant-friendly nutrients.
Analyses also revealed that dark earth holds twice the amount of carbon as surrounding soils on average. Scans (扫描) of the Xingu region suggest that the area is dotted with dark earth, and that hold as much as about 9 million tons of carbon — the annual carbon emissions of a small, industrialized country. “This number could roughly equal the annual carbon emissions of the United States when all dark earth across the Amazon is taken into consideration,” Perron says.
Figuring out the true value of carbon stored in the Amazon’s dark earth will require more data. Still, the research has significant influences on the Amazon’s future. The technique highlights how ancient people were able to live in the Amazon by developing sustainable farming that doubled as a carbon-storing technique. With more and more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, it could also provide a blueprint for developing methods of sustainably locking atmospheric carbon in the soil, helping fight climate change.
8. What can we infer from the dark earth across the Amazon River basin
A. They are more acidic than surrounding soils.
B. They contain more organic nutrients.
C. They formed naturally.
D. They contain less carbon.
9. Why does the author mention the annual carbon emissions of the US
A. To explain the difficulty of protecting dark earth.
B. To show the wide distribution of dark earth in Amazon.
C. To stress the huge carbon-storing capability of dark earth.
D. To reveal the large carbon emissions of the United States.
10. What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. The importance of developing sustainable farming.
B. The advanced farming technology in ancient tomes.
C. A possible solution to climate change.
D. A way of green agriculture.
11. Which is the best title of the text
A. Urgency of Sustainable Development B. Facts About the Dark Earth
C. Advantages of the Dark Earth D. Wisdom of Ancient Amazons
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亚马逊黑土地的形成和功能。黑土地是人为形成的，而非自然现象。同时黑土地极强的碳吸附能力对于对抗全球气候变化有一定作用。
【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interview s of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns.(麻省理工学院的地球科学家Perron回顾了2018年Kuikuro电影制作人对Kuikuro人的采访，发现Kuikuro村民通过使用灰烬、食物碎片和控制燃烧积极地制造黑暗的土地)”及“When comparing soil samples from ancient and modern sites, researchers found “striking similarities” — both were far less acidic than surrounding soils and contained higher levels of plant-friendly nutrients.(在比较古代和现代遗址的土壤样本时，研究人员发现了“惊人的相似之处”——两者的酸性都远低于周围土壤，并且含有更高水平的植物友好营养物质)”可知，黑土地富含更多的利于植物成长的营养物质，也就是有机营养成分。故选B。
2. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scans (扫描) of the Xingu region suggest that the area is dotted with dark earth, and that hold as much as about 9 million tons of carbon — the annual carbon emissions of a small, industrialized country. “This number could roughly equal the annual carbon emissions of the United States when all dark earth across the Amazon is taken into consideration,” Perron says.(对新古地区的扫描表明，该地区散布着暗土，其中含有约900万吨碳——相当于一个小型工业化国家的年碳排放量。Perron说：“这个数字大致相当于美国每年的碳排放量，如果把整个亚马逊地区的黑色土壤都考虑在内的话。”)”可知，这个地区的黑土地可以吸附的碳数量相当于一个小型工业化国家的碳排量。由此可推知，作者提到了美国每年的碳排放量，是为了强调黑土地巨大的碳储存能力。故选C。
3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With more and more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, it could also provide a blueprint for developing methods of sustainably locking atmospheric carbon in the soil, helping fight climate change.(随着越来越多的温室气体进入大气，它也可以为开发可持续地将大气碳锁定在土壤中的方法提供蓝图，帮助应对气候变化)”可知，黑土地极强的碳吸附能力为对抗全球气候变化提供了可能的解决方案。故选C。
4. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interview s of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns.(麻省理工学院的地球科学家Perron回顾了2018年Kuikuro电影制作人对Kuikuro人的采访，发现Kuikuro村民通过使用灰烬、食物碎片和控制燃烧积极地制造黑暗的土地)”及文章第二段描述“黑土地极强的碳吸附能力”和第三段“黑土地为对抗全球气候变化提供了可能的解决方案”可知，本文主要介绍了关于黑土地的一些信息，由此可推知，B项“关于黑土地的事实”最适合作文章标题。故选B。
D
Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic (正宗的) local snacks.
In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts (爱好者) to act as tour guides. A young entrepreneur (主办者) based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account recently, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”.
Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has established Citywalk routes using public bus routes to help day-trippers reach more far-flung districts by public transport and continue on foot.
Even though Citywalk is a relatively niche and new phenomenon, industry insiders say that its potential is huge. Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences in a bid to attract potential customers.
Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences that align with their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands. (CGTN)
12. What is the main concept of Citywalk as described in the text
A. Exploring cities through virtual reality. B. Guided tours centred on history.
C. Leisurely urban strolls with diverse exploration. D. A competitive challenge to visit landmarks.
13. Why did the young entrepreneur create Citywalk routes in various cities
A. To free outdoor museums for visitors. B. To engage more enthusiastic tour guides.
C. To promote urban folk culture research. D. To offer distinctive city exploration experiences.
14. What does the underlined word “niche” most likely mean in paragraph 5
A. Specialized. B. Pricey. C. Adventurous. D. Demanding.
15. What is the attitude of the author towards the trend
A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Optimistic.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了Citywalk从一线城市蔓延至二三线城市，吸引了更多参与者和组织者，一些地区将Citywalk纳入文化旅游和休闲计划，上海利用公交线路建立了Citywalk路线。Citywalk为城市旅行者提供了积极变化的机会，为导游和旅游服务提供商提供了满足市场需求的机会。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.(和几个好朋友聚在一起，在街上悠闲地散步——这是许多中国年轻人到一个新城市时喜欢做的事情)”和第二段“Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic (正宗的) local snacks.(参与者可以遵循独特的城市路线，沉浸在氛围中，探索古老的建筑，浏览精品店，喝一杯咖啡，或沉迷于正宗的当地小吃)”可推知，Citywalk的主要概念是“城市漫步，多样化探索”。故选C。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A young entrepreneur (主办者) based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account recently, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”.(近日，长沙一位年轻的主办者在她的社交媒体账户上推出了六条城市步行路线，探索旅游业的新可能性，旨在为游客提供“在露天博物馆行走”的体验)”可推知，这位年轻的主办者要在各个城市创建Citywalk路线是为了提供独特的城市探索体验。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“new phenomenon”和“industry insiders(业内人士) ”可推断出，Citywalk是一个相对特定和专业化的现象，与专业领域相关。故画线的词“niche”与specialized“专业化的”接近。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences that align with their interests and needs.(Citywalk为城市旅行者带来了积极的变化，因为他们可以更好地选择符合自己兴趣和需求的体验)”可推知，作者对这一趋势持乐观态度。故选D。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a beautiful sunny morning in early summer, when the world seemed full of sunlight and new green leaves. I was in a good mood as my parents had just given me $300 for my daily expenses during the week that they would be away in Mexico to visit my mother’s sick grandfather. I was extremely overjoyed, thinking hard about the things I could do with the money. If I survived on bread and butter the whole week, I would have an unexpected windfall of $ 200 to buy the latest Kobe Bryant basketball shoes! What a terrific idea!
As usual, the physical education class was thrilling. I felt most at case on the basketball court. After playing several fierce games, I could hardly catch my breath as I headed back towards the classroom, sweaty and exhausted. When I entered, I found my classmates gathered around Steven’s desk as he searched through his books and some other personal items anxiously. Steven had always been popular. Not only was he intelligent and well-mannered, but he also came from a well-off family. And he shared everything he had with us.
Right away, I learned Steven had lost the money he would donate to a children’s welfare institute that afternoon. Then I informed Miss Jones, the class teacher. She rushed over immediately and organized a search around the classroom. We stood by our desks and emptied the contents of our schoolbags onto the desk for inspection.
It was my turn. As Miss Jones took out the $ 300 from my wallet, the class fell into a shock. I didn’t know the amount lost was exactly $ 300 until then. I kept proving my innocence, but in vain. Miss Jones confiscated (没收) the $ 300 and decided I was getting kicked out of the school. I stayed home alone the whole week, living only on bread. I felt wronged, angry, and loss of self-esteem.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

Finally, my parents returned home and talked with me.

Miss Jones had just accepted my parents’ advice when Steven came.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Finally, my parents returned home and talked with me. They patiently listened to my side of the story, their understanding and support helping to boost my hurt feelings and self-esteem. I told the whole story of what happened, including the expensive misunderstanding, and the relief of sharing my tough experience was clear in the room. It was during this emotional conversation that I heard about Steven’s admission, which would change the situation.
Miss Jones had just accepted my parents’ advice when Steven came. He genuinely looked sorry, with a hint of regret in his eyes. To everyone’s relief, he confessed that he had found the lost money in his backpack. The immense relief and joy I felt were hard to put into words, showing how misunderstandings and hasty judgments can lead to serious problems. Steven’s sincere apology and our collective understanding brought us closer as classmates, restoring the warmth of our friendship.
