I started playing the piano when I was around four years old—that was 15 years ago!—and since then, the longest I haven’t touched piano keys was probably two months. This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I struggled a lot with piano. I felt pressure to improve, innovate, and be the best in order to prove something to others. The seed of my musical interest was grown with competition and doubt.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that you didn’t choose in the first place. But somehow, sometime, love grew. And by high school, it was strong enough that I found the strength to hold on tighter, dig further, and find something of my own to grow. In a way, I had to start over.
And so, I took a pause. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who encouraged me and helped me tunnel into what I loved, not what I was told I should learn. Anything I had was good enough to be loved.
This summer, I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. Even though my guitar skills are miles lower than my piano skills, I feel I can express myself even more wholly through strings than keys. There’s just something about doing it all for myself that has helped me heal the damages to my relationship to music.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.
24．What can we learn about the author’s experience from Paragraph 1
A．He probably spent two months in playing the piano.
B．He began to play the piano when he was 15 years old.
C．He thought it necessary to start playing the piano early.
D．He committed himself to the piano not for financial factors.
25．Which of the following words best describes the author’s relationship with the piano
A．Bittersweet. B．Harmonious. C．Painful. D．Passive.
26．What inspired the author to learn the guitar
A．His teacher’s constant encouragement. B．His desire for a new relationship with music.
C．His interest in strings rather than keys. D．His talent for playing musical instruments.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．Practice makes perfect B．Love cannot be forced
C．Love is a thing that grows D．There is no end to learning
C
We’ve been told for years that self-driving cars are just approaching. But it’s time to accept the truth, said Darrell Etherington on TechCrunch: they “aren’t going to happen” in our lifetimes.
I’ve long been excited about the potential of this technology, but my remaining optimism left me finally last month when Ford and Volkswagen announced they were stopping running Argo Al, their autonomous driving tech joint firm. Argo was considered a leader in the field. But Ford feels that “producing profitable, fully autonomous vehicles on a large scale is a long way off”, and it could no longer stomach the increasing costs. This is just the latest setback.
True, General Motors is making progress in trialling driverless vehicles on the roads, but only on a small scale. Tesla is pushing ahead with its self-driving technology, but its ambitions can be limited by an investigation that is looking into some accidents involving its “Autopilot” system. Some of the firmest believer s in self-driving technology have turned nonbelievers. State-of-the-art robot cars still “struggle” with construction sites, road blocks, and sometimes even simple left turns.
I recently took a ride in a self-driving taxi in the city of Chandler, Arizona. There was an undeniable horror-movie aspect to sitting in the back of a vehicle and watching the steering wheel turn autonomously. To my relief, it slowed when other vehicles behaved improperly. I was just about to feel relaxed and text a coworker when the taxi came to a sudden stop at one point. A truck stopped in front of us and wanted to go backwards in order to take a missed turning. Unclear about what to do next, the taxi “chirped (吱吱叫) to call a human specialist to solve the situation”. Fortunately, the truck driver decided to drive on and we continued our way. My driverless experience made me believe this technology may never be possible to make passengers relaxed when they are in a driverless vehicle. Even so, I won’t undervalue the technological advances that have been made-after all, who knows what the future will look like.
28．What can we infer from Darrell Etherington’s words
A．Self-driving cars will be replaced by other technology.
B．Self-driving cars will change our travel mode.
C．Self-driving cars are approaching us.
D．Self-driving cars are just a dream now.
29．What does the underlined word “stomach” probably mean in paragraph 2
A．Endure. B．Reduce. C．Regain. D．Remove.
30．Why General Motors and Tesla are mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To prove self-driving technology has made big progress.
B．To prove self-driving technology has a long way to go.
C．To prove self-driving technology is totally impractical.
D．To prove self-driving technology has great potential.
31．What is author’s attitude towards the self-driving technology
A．Critical. B．Conventional. C．Favorable. D．Indifferent.
D
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at the University of Bristol. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to stand-up comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral.won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories, mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing endorphins (the hormone that reduces the feeling of pain). It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
32．Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To explain the harm trauma causes. B．To stress the importance of laughter.
C．To show the effect of stand-up comedy. D．To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
33．How was the first six-week comedy course for patients
A．Effective. B．Ambiguous. C．Fruitless. D．Controversial.
34．What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher
A．Struggling moments. B．Funny moments. C．Successful moments. D．Boring moments.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Comedy is one thing that can make you struggle B．Laughter is useful for people’s mental health
C．Anxiety can also make you feel better D．Laughter will cure you of all diseases

根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
In searching for ways to help children with learning disabilities, remember that you are looking for ways to help them help themselves. Your job as a parent is not to “cure” the learning disability, but to give your child the social and emotional tools they need to work through challenges. Always remember that the way you behave and respond to challenges has a big influence on your child. A good attitude won’t solve the problems associated with a learning disability. But it can give your child hope and confidence. 36
Become your own expert. Do your own research and keep up with new developments in learning disability programs and educational techniques. 37 But you’re the most important expert on your child, so take charge when it comes to finding the tools they need in order to learn.
Be an advocate for your child. 38 Accept your role as an active parent and work on your communication skills. It may be frustrating at times, but by remaining calm and reasonable, yet firm, you can make a huge difference for your child.
39 Your child will follow your lead. If you approach learning challenges with optimism, hard work, and a sense of humor, your child is likely to embrace your perspective—or at least see the challenges as a must.
Focus on strengths, not just weaknesses. Your child is not defined by their learning disability. A learning disability represents one area of weakness, but there are many more areas of strengths. 40 Your child’s life and schedule shouldn’t revolve around the learning disability. Nurture the activities where they excel, and make plenty of time for them.
A．Remember that your influence outweighs all others.
B．Attach great importance to your child’s gifts and talents.
C．Things like food, water, and shelter are resources.
D．Speak up time and time again to get special help for your child.
E．Parents should spa re some time to keep their children company.
F．Tips for dealing with your child’s learning disability are as follows.
G．You may seek help from teachers or doctors for solutions, especially at first.

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。
“Oh, no! Jack shouted while looking at the likes and comments on his recent TikTok video.”
“Why aren’t people reacting to my content as they used to ”
Jack was a 19-year-old strong and muscular man addicted to the gym. He loved recording exercise videos and posting them on his TikTok account. Initially, his vlogs were popular, but his posts’ reach soon decreased.
Jack wondered why people had stopped sharing and liking his videos, “Maybe my audience is tired of watching me work out in the gym,” he thought, determined to chauge the location of his videos.
The following day, Jack went to the neighborhood park and began filming while walking on the track. “Hi, guys! How about we shake things up a little I’m to work out in the park today!” he said excitedly, looking into the camera lens (镜头) .
“Let’s look for a good spot to warm up,” he said as he walked towards a bench (长椅), on which sat an elderly lady. Jack thought the bench was the perfect place to film his video because of the light.
He put his tripod stand (三脚架) on the bench and set the camera, but he felt like he needed the full bench. He wanted to place his camera where the lady sat, so he gestured to her to move, but the woman didn’t seem to understand.
“Get out of my way!” he yelled. “Can’t you see I’m filming a video You old fool!” Looking him up and down in surprise, the old lady didn’t argue over his disrespectful attitude and quietly walked towards another bench.
Jack set his camera up, pressed the record button and waved at his followers, ready to demonstrate exercises. Suddenly, he tripped on a loose stone, lost balance and fell down; his head striking the bench and bleeding heavily.
Crying in pain, Jack tried to get up, but he didn’t have the strength to rise. He collapsed on the ground, screaming desperately for help.
There was nobody around but the elderly lady.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived.

(Text 4)
M: So, how are you and Andrea getting along these days
W: OK,I guess. She’s very nice.
M: And very easy-going!
W: Yeah, maybe too easy-going. I wish she were more energetic around the apartment. She never cleans up after herself. Next year, I won’t share an apartment.
(Text 5)
M: They’re nice jeans. I like that designer, but those are a little small for you.
W: But this is the biggest size they have.
M: I think you need to check a bigger store with bigger jeans. Let’s go.

(Text 7)
W: How long do you think it would take me to get to Chicago by train I’m visiting relatives there next week.

(Text 10)
W: When I talk about the time when I was a girl, young people always think that life used to be very hard. But it wasn’t bad really. It was just different and in many ways I think life was better in the past.
Children used to play in the street. They can’t do that now in most places, because everyone’s got a car so there’s too much traffic, and it’s dangerous. Today’s children spend all their free time indoors.
And when I was a girl most people didn’t use to lock their doors. We didn’t have anything for others to steal, so it wasn’t a problem.
Of course, we didn’t have a lot of the things that we have today, like computers and mobile phones. But life used to be slower and simpler. People didn’t use to rush around like they do today. The best thing about the time when I was young was that people used to spend more time together. Nowadays, people spend all their time in front of a computer screen or a television, or on their mobile phones. Yes, in some ways I think life was better when I was young.

25．A 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，很容易猜测作者一直纯粹地爱着音乐和钢琴，不忍心放弃，然而，实际情况要比这复杂一些。作者为钢琴备受煎熬，感到了提高、创新和成为最好钢琴家的压力。由此可推知，作者对于钢琴的感觉是痛苦但又快乐的。
26．B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段前两句可知，今年夏天，作者开始学吉他，想只为自己学习，与音乐建立一种新的关系。即与音乐建立新的关系的渴望促使作者学习吉他。

28-31 DABC
本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了自动驾驶汽车发展中遇到的限制，并通过自己乘坐自动驾驶出租车的经历来说明这种技术无法让乘客真正放松，但即便如此，这种技术的前途依然不可小觑。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But it’s time to accept the truth, said Darrell Etherington on TechCrunch: they ’aren’t going to happen’ in our lifetimes.” (但现在是时候接受真相了Darrell Etherington在TechCrunch上说：在我们的有生之年，这些事情不会发生。)”可知，自动驾驶汽车在我们这一生中不会出现，由此可推知，自动驾驶汽车现在还只是一个梦想，无法成为现实，故D项正确。
29．词义猜测题。结合第二段中的“But Ford feels that ’producing profitable, fully autonomous vehicles on a large scale is a long way off,”可知，福特公司认为大规模生产盈利的全自动驾驶汽车还有很长的路要走。再结合画线词前的could no longer和空后的he increasing costs可知，福特无法承受不断增加的成本。stomach与endure(忍耐，忍受)意思最接近。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“True, General Motors is making progress in trialling driverless vehicles on the roads, but only on a small scale. Tesla is pushing ahead with its self-driving technology, but its ambitions can be limited by an investigation that is looking into some accidents involving its ’Autopilot’ system. (诚然，通用汽车公司在道路上试验无人驾驶汽车方面取得了进展，但规模很小。特斯拉正在推进其自动驾驶技术，但其雄心可能会受到一项调查的限制，该调查正在调查一些涉及其’自动驾驶’系统的事故。)”可知，通用汽车公司仅在小规模测试无人驾驶汽车，特斯拉受到自动驾驶系统事故的影响，由此可推测出，本段列举通用和特斯拉的例子都是为了证明这项技术还有很远的路要走。故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Even so, I won’t undervalue the technological advances that have been made—after all, who knows what the future will look like (即便如此，我也不会低估已经取得的技术进步一毕竟，准知道未来会是什么样子。)”可知，作者虽然认为乘坐无人驾驶汽车体验不佳，但仍旧不敢低估这项科技，对其未来仍充满希望，所以作者对这项技术持支持态度。故C项正确。
32-35 DAAB
本文是一篇说明文。Comedy on Referral持有“笑是最好的药”这一观念，与英国国民医疗服务体系合作，利用单口相声来帮助治疗那些与精神创伤和焦虑作斗争的人。
32．D 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，Comedy on Referral采纳了“笑是最好的药”这一想法，利用单口相声来帮助人们，由此可推知，作者在第一段提及此谚语是为了介绍Comedy on Referral背后的理念。
33．A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，在最初的课程取得成功后，Comedy on Referral获得了英国国家医疗服务体系的资助，用于帮助伦敦有精神创伤的男性。
34．A 细节理解题。根据第四段前两句可知，Belcher说过去的精神创伤是喜剧的完美素材。喜剧不是来自生活中快乐、完美的时刻，而是来自我们每天的挣扎和重大的生活事件。
35．B 主旨大意题。根据全文可知，Comedy on Referral持有“笑是最好的药”这一观念，与英国国民医疗服务体系合作，利用单口相声来帮助治疗那些与精神创伤和焦虑作斗争的人，故B项“笑对人们的心理健康有益”作文章标题最佳。

这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍处理孩子学习障碍的技巧。
36．由上文“Always remember that the way you behave and respond to challenges has a big influence on your child. A good attitude won’t solve the problems associated with a learning disability. But it can give your child hope and confidence. (永远记住，你的行为和应对挑战的方式对你的孩子有很大的影响。良好的态度并不能解决与学习障碍相关的问题。但它可以给你的孩子希望和信心。)”可知，这里主要讲父母的行为和方式将会对孩子有很大影响。而F项Tips for dealing with your child’s learning disability are as follows. (处理孩子学习障碍的技巧如下。)符合语境，其中dealing with your child’s learning disability与上文solve the problems associated with a learning disability对应，而as follows有启下作用。故选F项.
37．由下文“But you’re the most important expert on your child, so take charge when it comes to finding the tools they need in order to learn.

(一次又一次地大声说话，为你的孩子寻求特别的帮助。)符合语境，其中Speak up与上文Be an advocate对应。故选D项。

40．由上文Your child is not defined by their learning disability. A learning disability represents one area of weakness, but there are many more areas of strengths. (你的孩子不是由他们的学习障碍来定义的。学习障碍代表了一个弱点，但还有更多的优点。)可知，这里讲父母应该看到学习障碍的孩子其它方面的长处。而B项Attach great importance to your child’s gifts and talents. (重视孩子的天赋和才能。)符合语境，有承上作用，其中gifts and talents 与上文many more areas of strengths对应。故选B项。

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
Paragraph 1:
There was nobody around but the elderly lady. She hurried to him and bent down to check his injury.“God!”she gasped. “Don’t move. I’ll help you, son.” Looking at her kind face, Jack gradually lost consciousness. Having called an ambulance, the lady tended to his wounds carefully. Not until Jack came to and found himself and his belongings in an emergency room did he learn that the lady had contacted his family and quietly left. Overwhelmed by her virtue, Jack was desperate to find her. Fortunately, the rescue scene was wholly recorded by his camera. He posted the video online, requesting clues so that he could say thanks and sorry to her.
Paragraph 2:
To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived. With gifts, Jack headed for the lady’s home. Answering the door, the lady was surprised but immediately got aware of what was going on. She gave Jack a hug, saying smilingly, “So glad to see you well, son.” “Sorry, I came for apologies. I behaved so rudely... and thanks for your help. Otherwise...” Jack choked, ashamed and grateful. “Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Everything will change for the better. I have faith in you," she comforted the young man affectionately. The incident dramatically transformed Jack, who became helpful, friendly and popular.
