Every morning at 6 a.m., Mr. Lin’s bamboo chair workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels
(凿子). The first strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant
cries of street dealers who were setting up their stalls. The scent of damp earth and fresh bamboo
chips filled the air. Passersby paused to watch his leathery hands dance across the golden strips, their
movements both delicate and assured.
One day, I found him bending over a half-woven chair frame, humming an opera tune from
his youth. Sunlight cut through dust motes, catching the sweat on his brow as he cut a stubborn strip
with precision. “Bamboo remembers,” he said, tapping its smooth surface with a rough finger. “Cut

too fast, it splits; too slow, it laughs at your hesitation.” His tools — worn smooth by forty winters
— moved with the certainty of tides, their edges polished by years of patience and practice.
By noon, tourists crowded his display window, taking photos of chairs labeled “Handcrafted:
58 hours.” A college student laughed, “Why not use machines ” Mr. Lin smiled and plucked a
factory-made chair from the corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its
uneven legs. “Machines don’t feel the bamboo’s song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his
own creation’s seamless curves.
At dusk, he applied the final coat of tung (梧桐) oil, transforming pale bamboo into golden
liquid. His wife brought tea, whispering, “The landlord’s raising rent again.” He gazed at his
workshop’s cracked walls, then at the chair made to be a newborn’s nursery. “We’ll manage,” he
decided.
As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single
bulb, Mr. Lin’s chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something
that lasted.

C．The Future of Bamboo Furniture. D．The Struggles of a Traditional Business.

Children may be innocent, unaware of the challenges and complexities of adult
communication. But lacking all “learned” sophistication, that very innocence can reveal insights that
adults struggle to come up with.
In human affairs, wisdom is typically regarded as developing only through gathering and
correct interpretation of human interactions. It’s an outgrowth of sufficient relational experience.
Sometimes, adults hide the truth of what they see to be polite or avoid trouble. On the contrary,
children are not aware of other people’s feelings and how easy it is to hurt them. So they just say
what they think, without thinking twice. What they say is honest and not meant to be mean, but it
might not be the best thing to say either.
Kids understand in a simple way that being friendly is more important than small arguments
that can mess up relationships for a while. They might ask, “Why can’t you just be friends ” To them,
it doesn’t make sense to fight, and people should just forget about the past and get along again. The
complexity of adult thinking makes it difficult to return to a more straightforward way of interacting.
On another note, because children don’t comprehend that as responsible adults, play is earned
试卷第 9 页，共 1 页
through work, they’ll innocently inquire as to why we can’t just play all the time. And as easy as it is
to dismiss such innocent thinking, it can also get us to think about whether our work/play balance is
messed up, as we regularly, and unthinkingly, value work over play.
The golden mean here often involves finding the middle ground between work and play.
Children may lean too heavily in the direction of play but adults may be just as guilty in
unintentionally prioritizing work over play.
Sure, we may need to engage in a certain amount of work just to survive, but our overstated
sense of what our survival depends on may make us unhappy. We might not realize it, but our real
goal in life isn’t just to survive. It’s to be truly happy and feel good about ourselves.
28．What does the underlined word “sophistication” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．Strong desire. B．Worldly wisdom. C．Simple honesty. D．Detailed information.
29．Why do children sometimes say truths directly that adults might avoid saying
A．They are educated to follow their heart.
B．They lack awareness of others’ emotions.
C．They are trained to be honest from a young age.
D．They enjoy seeing adults struggle with their words.
30．What do children think of relational conflict
A．They believe it is natural and unavoidable.
B．They see it as a sign of deep-seated problems.
C．They avoid discussing it to prevent further disagreements.
D．They think it can be resolved by forgetting previous conflicts.
31．What might children’s question about playing all the time make adults reflect on
A．The need to work harder to earn more playtime.
B．The impossibility of playing all the time as adults.
C．Whether they focus too much on work rather than play.
D．How important it is to teach children the value of work.
D
Dreams are pure emotional and cognitive gold. Those often super-realistic, broken images and
plot lines that can instantly disappear when we open our eyes, allow us not only to explore the
themes and challenges of our day, but to step into the what-ifs of tomorrow.
Whether we remember our dreams or not, our brain and dreams are multi-tasking to the
maximum extent while we sleep. Together, they are weakening negative ones, improving our stress
recovery ability, cognitive function, problem-solving capabilities and our mental health, all of which
explain the emotional rollercoaster that can come with sleep deprivation (剥夺). When we don’t get
enough sleep, we’re robbed of those invaluable sleep-dependent advantages that give us a depth of
insight and emotional processing.
Not all dreams are made equal. It’s the vivid dreams that take place during our rapid eye
movement (REM) sleep, in the second half of the night, that really deliver when it comes to building
our emotional recovery ability. The less vivid, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) dreams that occur
when we first go to sleep have their own vital learning and memory-consolidating role to play, too.
But if we haven’t had enough sleep, we’re likely to be short of REM, with consequences that can
carry into our day.
According to dream theorists Robert Stickgold and Antonio Zadra, there are two standout
benefits we get from our dream life. First, the narratives we create that allow us to travel in time —
“to experience the thoughts, sensations and emotions generated by those narratives” — effectively
试卷第 9 页，共 1 页
rehearsing (排 练 ) and actually experiencing the what-ifs of our life. And second, the space that
dreams create where we can not only imagine possible events, but where we’re free “to plan, to plot,
to explore”.
In our virtual REM world, our brain searches through memories, making connections to help
process daily worries and find solutions, so that once we’ve “slept on it”, we can definitely have a
much deeper and greater perspective.
32．Why does the author mention “emotional rollercoaster” in paragraph 2
A．To describe the fun of dreaming vividly.
B．To show why people enjoy rollercoasters.
C．To highlight the risks of inadequate sleep.
D．To explain how dreams process daily worries.
33．What happens if REM sleep is reduced
A．More vivid NREM dreams. B．Worse daytime emotions.
C．Faster memory formation. D．Longer deep sleep time.
34．What do dreams help us do according to Stickgold
A．Forget bad experiences. B．Make memories stronger.
C．Increase sleep time. D．Practice future situations.
35．What message does the author mainly convey
A．Nightmares harm mental health.
B．Dreams strengthen mind and emotions.
C．REM sleep is the key to emotional balance.
D．Eight hours’ sleep is needed to improve health.

阅读下面短文，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the past few decades, technology has advanced at an unprecedented rate, revolutionizing
industries and shaping new ways of life. 36
According to the International Telecommunication Union, a key advocate of technological
advancement, the rapid growth of technology has significantly improved the quality of life in
numerous communities. It cites studies that show the integration of technology into daily lives has
led to increased efficiency, more access to information, and even progress in healthcare in numerous
regions. 37
Those who embrace technological progress argue that it creates new opportunities for
individuals and businesses alike. For instance, farmers in remote areas can now access real-time
market information and weather updates through smartphones, enabling them to make more
informed decisions about their crops. Additionally, small businesses can expand their reach globally
through online platforms. 38 They argue that while technology may bring benefits to
some, it often expands the difference between the technologically informed and the digitally
excluded. Studies conducted by organizations like the United Nations Development Programme
reveal that many individuals, particularly those in developing regions or with limited resources, lag
behind in accessing and utilizing technological advancements. 39
Furthermore, critics fear that the unchecked growth of technology may have negative impacts
on society and the environment. For example, the rise of social media and the internet has led to an
increase in cyberbullying, privacy concerns, and the spread of misinformation. Moreover, the
overuse of technology may contribute to do-nothing lifestyles and other health issues.
试卷第 9 页，共 1 页
One thing is certain about technological progress — it is an inevitable trend. The rapid pace
of innovation and the widespread availability of technology make it impossible to turn back. 40
A．But how can we take control of technology to our advantage
B．The question arises: Is technological progress beneficial for all
C．This digital divide can lead to increased social and economic gaps.
D．However, critics of technological advancement hold a different view.
E．These advancements have been particularly evident in rural and underserved areas.
F．It ensures that the benefits of technological progress are shared equally across society.
G．The challenge now is finding ways to command the power of technology to benefit all.

I never imagined that a single piece of paper could change my entire perspective on life. I was
a librarian, a job that had defined my existence for over two decades. My days were spent among the
quiet rows of books. I knew every corner of the library, every title on the shelves, and yet, I felt as if
my own life was missing a chapter.
It was a typical Tuesday morning. I was sorting through a box of old donations, preparing to
catalog some rare books, when I found a small, yellowed envelope between the pages of an ancient
journal. It had no address, no stamp, and no indication of its origin. Curious, I carefully opened it.
The handwriting was elegant but faded, the ink barely visible against the paper. The letter read,
“Dear Stranger;
If you are reading this, know that you are not alone. Life has a way of making us feel isolated,
as if our stories are insignificant. But every life matters. Every story is important. I hope the letter
finds someone who needs to hear these words.
You are stronger than you think. You have the power to change your world, one small act at a
time. Don’t be afraid to take risks, to follow your dreams, and to embrace the unknown. The greatest
journeys begin with a single step.
With hope,
A Friend”
I read the letter over and over, feeling a strange mix of emotions. The words resonated deeply
within me, as if they were written specifically for me. I had always been content with my life, but
lately, I felt a growing sense of restlessness. The library was my sanctuary (庇护所), but it had also
become my prison. I had lost sight of my own dreams, my own story.
That evening, as I closed the library, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the letter was a sign. I
had always been cautious, preferring the safety of routine to the uncertainty of change. But the letter
reminded me that life was meant to be lived, not just observed.

Dear Editor,
In light of the upcoming adulthood ceremony at our school, I’ve carefully considered the options and
selected the first badge.
This badge features two students cradling the Earth, accompanied by the words, “Growth means
responsibility”. Its symbolism is profound, reflecting the role of responsibility as we step into adulthood. The
globe symbolizes our deep connection to the world, reminding us of our duty to engage with and care about
global issues. The depiction of students in school uniforms further underscores our journey of growth within the
educational system, leading us to this moment of assuming greater duties.
This badge serves as a powerful reminder that we are no longer children but individuals equipped with the
potential to make a meaningful impact. It is a perfect fit for the ceremony.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua Paragraph 1:
The next morning, I walked into the library director’s office, saying with resolution, “I have an idea.” The
director looked up from her desk, her eyes filled with curiosity. Taking a deep breath, I explained my idea to
organize a moveable library program, bringing books and stories to those who had no access. I suggested
reaching out to schools, nursing homes, and hospitals—places where people might need a little bit of hope and
connection. The director nodded thoughtfully. “That’s a wonderful idea,” she agreed. With her support, I threw
myself into the project. After hours of planning, contacting local organizations, and gathering resources, I
enlisted the help of a few enthusiastic volunteers. The preparation work went smoothly.
Paragraph 2:
Weeks later, the moveable library program started, bringing libraries to different communities. The first
stop was a local elementary school, where we set up a reading corner in the library, equipped with colorful books
and cozy seats. As I read aloud to a group of wide-eyed children, I saw their faces light up with wonder. For a
moment, I forgot about my own doubts and fears. I was reminded of the joy that books could bring, and the
importance of sharing that joy with others. The following months witnessed our library touched the lives of
countless people in diverse places. Each visit was a reminder of the letter’s words: “You have the power to
change your world, one small act at a time.”

W: It depends. Usually it takes about thirty minutes, but if you bring a downloaded application form all filled out
before the visit, it can save some time. You can download it from our website. Oh, and you must bring some
identification.

W: Hi Sam. Did you go to the college fashion show last week M: Hi, Emma! Yes, I did! Did you
W: Yes, I went with some friends, but I didn’t see you there. Did you go alone
M: I was going to go with a friend from college, but he was busy, so I went with my cousin Anna. She’s studying
fashion design at university.
W: When did you go We were there on Sunday.
M: We actually went twice, once on Friday afternoon and then again on Saturday for the costume show.
W: I missed that one. The children’s fashion show was interesting, but I didn’t like the sports clothes one. My
friend Melissa didn’t like it, either. She said it was boring.
M: That was Anna’s opinion, too, but I thought all the shows were brilliant.

M: I’m with Ella Fletcher, who’s currently working as a lighting technician at a theatre. Ella, welcome. What
attracted you to this job
W: Well, I’ve always been interested in brightly-colored light shows, like the ones you see at rock concerts. I’ve
always been keen on fireworks displays too. But I think a play I went to ages ago was the original inspiration –
the memory of the amazing lighting they used has stayed with me.
M: So what do theatre lighting technicians do, exactly
W: Well, our theatre director once said many people think we just turn the lights on and off at the beginning and
end of a performance. In fact, lighting technicians really help the audience to get what’s happening on the
stage during a play.
M: You started getting involved with stage lighting at school, didn’t you
W: I did. For the first play I helped with, I drew up a really detailed plan for the play lighting. My teacher was
impressed – but then politely pointed out the play was actually set during the day, so no darkness was required!

M: Good morning and welcome to our conference on the toy industry. I’d like to start by saying a few words
about what you can expect from the conference, since some of the details on the original plan have changed.
After the introduction by Sally Connor, Kenji Nakamura will give a talk. That’s from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. He
will tell you about the most recent developments in the toy industry in Japan and will show a short film. This
will be followed by the question part. Then at 12:00, we’ll have a break for lunch. This will be a buffet meal,
served in Victoria Hall, which is on the opposite side of the building, next to the library. After lunch, we’ll
return here for Toys in Britain: Success and Failure. This talk will be given by Robert Price who, as you know,
is the owner of a chain of over 200 toy shops in the UK. The next talk What’s Next for Toys will take place
immediately after this, at 3:30. This will be given by Sarah Smith, who is, of course, our Sales Manager. Sarah’
s talk will finish at 5 p.m. After that, tea and juice will be served in the Green Room, which is on the first floor.
Please join us there and …
