In 2018, Su Yiming, a 14-year-old native of north easter China, was faced with a difficult decision: Pursue a promising career as an actor, or cast it aside and go all in on snowboarding, in a country where most people had never seen a snowboard. At the time, Su was fast becoming an established name in China’s film industry. He had starred as a village boy seeking revenge for his father’s death in a critically acclaimed war movie, and appeared in several more television dramas.
But with the 2022 Winter Olympics approaching, the teenager saw an opportunity. “Snowboarding was something I enjoyed the most, and this was a chance to take part in my own home country,” said Su, then 17. Su’s gamble (冒险) paid off. Three days short of his 18th birthday, Su took gold in the big air snowboarding event, writing history for the Olympic host nation by winning the country’s first gold medal in the event. “It’s my happiest moment when I stand on the snowboard. No matter how long I train, even for seven or eight hours in a row, joy to me. Love is what has been supporting me all the time.” Su said.
“I had always dreamed about what it would be like to stand on the podium (领奖台) of the Olympics, and today, I did it,” Su said. Together with the freestyle skier Gu Ailing, who is one year his senior, Su is among the most popular athletes for the Olympic host nation.
In an interview with media, Su’s father said his son always had an affinity with snow, a connection that began the day his son was born in February 2004. “There was a heavy snowstorm that day. Cars couldn’t move on the streets,” the father recalled. Sus father said his son loved snowboarding so much that, even in elementary school, the younger Su would set aside three days a week to train.
4. What do we know about Su Yiming
A. He used to be a famous child actor. B. He had a miserable childhood.
C. He took gold on his eighteenth birthday. D. He is senior to Gu Ailing by one year.
5. Which of the following best describes Su Yiming
A. Smart and sensitive B. Diligent and honest
C. Enthusiastic and determined D. Adventurous and stubborn
6. What can we infer from Su’s father’s words
A. Su was born to be associated with snow.
B. Su was caught in a snowstorm when he was born.
C. Su trained four days a week in elementary school.
D. Su was influenced by his father’s connection with snow.
7. What lesson can we get from Su’s story
A. Rome is not built in a day.
B. Constant dripping wears away a stone.
C. Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.
D Passion and desire can pave the way for dream realization.
C
In daily life, people often feel unexpectedly close to others after laughing at the same joke or reacting the same way to a beautiful view. This common yet powerful psychological experience is known as “I-sharing”. Introduced by researchers in 2006, I-sharing refers to the belief that one is sharing the exact same subjective experience with another person at the same time.
Simply put, I-sharing occurs when two individuals respond to the same event with duplicate inner reactions. For example, two friends sigh in admiration at a sunset at the same time. A couple smiles in satisfaction as they take the first bite of dessert. Even strangers may experience I-sharing-such as two passengers on a plane who scream at the same moment during turbulence (湍流) and then laugh together afterward. These moments of shared emotional reaction can quickly break barriers and build unexpected bonds.
Research has shown that I-sharing enhances interpersonal liking and connection. One explanation is that humans often feel psychologically isolated, unsure whether others truly understand their internal experiences. I-sharing offers a brief but meaningful sense that someone else does understand-creating a feeling of emotional closeness and mutual understanding.
Beyond personal relationships, I-sharing may also promote better attitudes toward people from different social backgrounds. Studies have found that I-sharing can increase positive feelings toward individuals of different social groups. One experiment revealed that couples were more successful in negotiating household responsibilities after I-sharing with a person (even a simulated one) in another room. In romantic relationships, the more people believe they share with their partner, the more understood and satisfied they tend to feel.
How can I-sharing be encouraged in everyday life It may begin with small actions-watching a film with a friend and discussing your reactions, tasting food together and describing your impressions, or viewing art side by side and sharing your thoughts. These shared emotional moments can lead to deeper human connection.
8. Which situation best illustrates I-sharing according to the text
A. Colleagues buying the same brand of clothes.
B. Neighbors ordering the same set of furniture.
C. Students memorizing the same historical facts for an exam.
D. Strangers staring with admiration at the same breathtaking sunset.
9. What does the underlined word “duplicate” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Identical. B. Familiar. C. Harmonious. D. Potential.
10. What can be inferred about I-sharing’s effect
A. It changes people’s cultural beliefs. B. It strengthens emotional bonds.
C. It improves academic performance. D. It needs professional guidance.
11. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. The Process of I-Sharing. B. Why Laughter Improves Moods.
C. The Beauty Behind I-Sharing. D. Why Strong Relationships Matter.
D
When Barry Libert and Jon Spector set out to write about how social networking might help businesses, they allowed just about anyone with an idea to help write the book. Thousands of people contributed to We Are Smarter Than Me, which is about the wisdom of the crowd.
Spector says the book was initially modeled after a popular online encyclopedia (百科全书) written and edited by Internet users.
“We’ve actually struggled throughout the process on the differences between the online encyclopedia and writing a book: How do you combine the ideas, and how do you get a single common voice across ” Spector says.
Spector and Libert tried to set guidelines for how people should write, but that proved too restrictive.
“Finally we said... you have to have no guidelines,“ Spector says. “And we talked to ourselves about giving up control. Were we ready to do it And eventually we said to ourselves, ‘Look, if we believe in this concept, we have to carry it out.’ And we did. And that’s really when the contributions from the community began to pick up.”
The authors felt that social networking wasn’t just about the famous social media platform. “It was really about how businesses might think about crowds,” Libert says. “Not just their employees as crowds, but also customers, partners, distributors, and investors as crowds-and to use those crowds as a way to improve whatever activity they’re working on...”
In one success story that proved the power of the crowd, a gold mining company had essentially run out of places to look for gold. It decided to publish its geological data on the Web and allowed outsiders to contribute suggestions for new locations to mine.
“They found $3 billion of new gold out there,” Spector says. “There’s just that knowledge out there and that’s the essential premise (前提) of the book: We, some of whom are unknown, are smarter than a small group of experts inside a company.”
12 What made the writing of We Are Smarter Than Me unique
A. It copied the encyclopedia’s editing rules. B. It collected ideas from the public.
C. It followed strict writing guidelines. D. It focused on social media impact.
13. Why did the authors finally remove writing guidelines
A. To appeal to more professional writers. B. To make the book more interesting.
C. To truly practice their belief in the public. D. To protect employees’ enthusiasm.
14. What does the gold mining company’s example prove
A. Crowds can outperform experts. B. Online data may risk business security.
C. Business should involve outsiders. D. Geological data is vital for gold mining.
15. What does the text intend to do
A. Share a writing skill. B. Highlight a trend.
C. Recommend a working procedure. D. Clarify a concept.

47 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure(小册子)about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake, who loved photography, and Lily, who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I'm not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”

As it is known to us, it is CPC’s persistent struggle and sense of responsibility that lead to our precious happy life. It is our turn now to take the baton and be a responsible successor like them.
How to be a responsible successor for us students Firstly, we should pay attention to our healthy personalities, which are essential to us. Additionally, We must work hard to be equipped with large quantities of knowledge. What is most important is that we ought to develop a good habit of helping others whenever they are in need. Finally, We also need to do some voluntary work for our community.
Only by bearing CPC’s spirit in mind can we make contributions to our society through knowledge-learning and hard-working.

With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers” . Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词)
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.
