I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.
Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter ” Letter What letter I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.”
Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters ” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.
I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame.
I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.
24. What did the author notice when the school was over
A. It was hard to find a parking space. B. Children were picked up in groups.
C. Her daughter was absent from class. D. She arrived much earlier than others.
25. What stopped the author criticizing her daughter
A. The reflection of her daily routine. B. The realization of her carelessness.
C. The knowledge of her kid’s character. D. The awareness of her kid’s depression.
26. Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla
A. Because they contacted them late. B. Because they failed to keep the house tidy.
C. Because they couldn’t be on time. D. Because they ignored the school’s request.
27. What can we learn from the passage
A. Action creates motivation. B. Mother’s love never changes.
C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Patience is the key to success.

In July 1915, sick James Murray, one of the early editors of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), defined one final word. He had devoted 36 years to the dictionary. Knowing he would not see the project complete, he wrote his last entry: for “twilight”.
The story of Murray’s final days is one of many memorable tales in “The Dictionary People”. Conceived (构思) in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project comprising 3,000 people. The idea was to create a “descriptive” dictionary that tracked words’ use and meaning over time. Volunteers read widely, mailing in examples of how “rare, old-fashioned, new” words were used. What is surprising about this random method is that it worked, achieving order through the large number of contributors.
The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie’s book is almost as improbable as that of the dictionary itself. Ms Ogilvie, an editor for the OED, went into the archives (档案馆) of Oxford University Press and came across an old notebook. It had belonged to Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers, most of whom had previously been unknown. “The Dictionary People” is her work of detective scholarship, presenting the lives behind the names.
The dictionary’s contributors are an engaging cast, including one of Karl Marx’s daughters and J. R. R. Tolkien. For some, the dictionary was something addictive: one contributor supplied 165,061 quotations. Murray, too, was assiduous. He once wrote to George Eliot to ask about a word choice in “Romola”, published 17 years earlier.
Ms Ogilvie’s book is full of strange but interesting tales. Many dictionary lovers engaged in another crowdsourcing fashion: collecting and measuring rainwater. The presentation of the book is irregular, too, taking its structure from the work it describes. For example, in her first chapter, “A for Archaeologist (考古学家),” she relates the early life of Margaret A. Murray, a pioneering Egyptologist. There are 26 alphabetical (按字母顺序排列的) chapters, each celebrating a group of contributors. This is a clever concept.
28. What did the OED’s volunteers do
A. They deleted the words going out of use.
B. They listed instances of changes in word use.
C. They corrected the misuse of common words.
D. They added new words to keep up with the times.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about “The Dictionary People”
A. What Ogilvie achieved with it. B. How Ogilvie told the stories in it.
C. What inspired Ogilvie to write it. D. Who helped Ogilvie to complete it.
30. What does the underlined word “assiduous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Hard-working. B. Easy-going. C. Energetic. D. Flexible.
31. What does the author think of Ms Ogilvie’s book
A. Interesting and creative. B. Encouraging and influential.
C. Traditional and funny. D. Descriptive and surprising.
D
Digital mindfulness is the application of mindfulness practices in your digital life. According to Jon Kabat Zinn, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Medicine School, mindfulness is “a means of paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non judgmentally”. Here two main key points are emphasized when it comes to mindfulness as a practice in your digital life.
The first point is that you must learn to do things on purpose. For instance, you use your phone as a habitual escape from boredom or stress, which is thought by many as a quick solution to all those negative feelings. But what if you get only negative responses from your phone—the news or posts are negative Instead of finding peace, you find more boredom and more stress. The solution that mindfulness provides is purposeful and intentional choice. Therefore, you are empowered to choose how to respond to the stimulus(刺激) behind such feelings as boredom, loneliness, and stress and not just treat the symptoms(症状).
The other key is going through the experience non judgmentally. When you feel sad or angry because of a post on social media, all you ever do is to go through the experience and let it flow. At its core, mindfulness involves the acceptance of your memories, feelings, and thoughts minus any judgment on yourself or others because of those things. These feelings, memories, and experiences come and go. After they have passed, you are still you and in control. You will become more aware of your inner world. It’s this internal monologue(独白) that pushes you to grab your digital technology (phone, Alexa speaker, TV, etc.).
Digital mindfulness is not about avoiding the negative things in life. Through mindfulness practice, you regain the power to learn from these experiences and healthily deal with the negative. Mindfulness will also teach you to be aware of all your emotions, so you learn to deal with the things that you used to avoid. Finally, digital mindfulness brings you peace of mind in an ever changing and increasingly connected world.
Now, I would rather prefer to think of it as one of many tools that we can use in our daily life.
32. What does the author suggest readers do when they feel stressed in their digital life
A. Find something interesting to do.
B. Use the phone as a habitual escape.
C. Keep away from the negative responses.
D. Deal with the root cause of the problem.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Negative feelings should be avoided or controlled.
B. Mindfulness involves both acceptance and judgment.
C. Mindfulness helps us fully experience life as it happens.
D. Digital technology is the key to understanding our inner world.
34. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How Can You Avoid Negative Feelings
B. How Can You Define Digital Mindfulness
C. How Can Digital Mindfulness Help You
D. How Can Digital Mindfulness Harm You
35. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph
A. Applications of mindfulness in communication.
B. Ways of practising mindfulness in the digital age.
C. Development of mindfulness in medical field.
D. Benefits of practising digital mindfulness in daily life.

Vertical (垂直的) farming involves using vertically piled layers and other innovative resources to help your crops grow. 36 You get to grow your plants while using the small space at home. Below are some benefits of vertical farming for small house owners.
Reduce water usage. Watering a vertical garden is easy, simple, and uses less water. If your plants are grown in a traditional way, you’ll need lots of water to keep up with your plants’ growth. 37
Save space. As a small, house owner, space is a big concern. However, vertical farming ensures that you can create a garden in your home and fully enjoy the experience. 38 So, if you aim to save space in your home and still have a garden, vertical farming is perfect.
39 Vertical farming is mainly done indoors and entirely depends on you to provide the best conditions. With commitment, you can continuously ensure consistent food production despite the seasons.
Cut down on chemicals and pesticides. Vertical gardens will not require you to invest in pesticides and chemical fertilizers to keep your plants alive. In addition, insects will not have easy access to your plants since you’ll be gardening in a controlled environment. 40
A. Increase food production.
B. Produce food consistently.
C. Having a garden means you need to work with the space available.
D. It comes in handy without causing any inconvenience to your living arrangements.
E. However, if you invest in vertical farming, your water usage will dramatically drop.
F. So the food grown is organic and safe for consumption making it an excellent choice.
G. It enables you to take full advantage of walls and spaces that would otherwise stay useless.

The 16th to 18th centuries 56 (witness) the peak time of Suzhou classical gardens, following the rise of the city as 57 economic center, playing host to around 250 gardens. Some were inevitably lost to time, but some of the more recent 58 kept blossoming. A survey from 2015 to 2018 showed that the city is home to 108 classical gardens, 57 of 59 are in the historical neighborhood of Gusu district.
“Suzhou gardens reveal people’s adoration of nature by mixing elements of different natural landscapes 60 their designs,” says He Fengchun, director of the Suzhou Institute of Landscape Architecture Design. “They inspire us 61 (pursue) harmony with the world around us.” “Visiting a garden is like unrolling a traditional Chinese landscape painting,” she further explains. “So, like paintings, ancient Chinese philosophy and morals 62 (hide) in the details of the gardens.” In centuries past, Suzhou also 63 (large) directed the development of ancient Chinese landscape gardens as a whole.
Zhu Haijun, director of Suzhou Conservation and Monitoring Center, considers education programs for the young generation as key to 64 (pass) down the intangible heritage for the future. “The future destiny of the classical gardens is in their hands,” he says. “We’d like to plant a seed in their hearts so that the gardens can continue to flourish through the 65 (age).”

Thomas, a skinny young boy, loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench (板凳) and hardly ever played.
This teenager lived alone with his father, and the relationship between the two of them was very special. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a benchwarmer. Besides, his faithful father was always in the stands, always with word of encouragement for him. The young man loved football and was determined to hang in there, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior.
It was at the end of his senior football season and as he ran to the practice field shortly before the big playoff (夺标决赛) that the coach met him with a telegram(电报). The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent: Biting his lip, he breathed, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today ” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”
Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the second half when the team was two scores behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football wear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.
Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter ” Letter What letter I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.”
Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters ” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.
I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame.
I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.
24. What did the author notice when the school was over
A. It was hard to find a parking space. B. Children were picked up in groups.
C. Her daughter was absent from class. D. She arrived much earlier than others.
25. What stopped the author criticizing her daughter
A. The reflection of her daily routine. B. The realization of her carelessness.
C. The knowledge of her kid’s character. D. The awareness of her kid’s depression.
26. Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla
A. Because they contacted them late. B. Because they failed to keep the house tidy.
C. Because they couldn’t be on time. D. Because they ignored the school’s request.
27. What can we learn from the passage
A. Action creates motivation. B. Mother’s love never changes.
C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Patience is the key to success.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.(学校的铃响了，不一会儿，一群孩子从大门进来了。但有些不同——孩子们三三两四地挤进了车里)”可知，放学后作者注意到了孩子们被成群地接走。故选B。
25. 细节理解题。根据第三段“I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.(我正准备严厉地训斥一顿，突然想到我总是忘记——那天早上我忘了给莱拉做饭的钱，也忘了把孩子们洗好的衣服晾在外面)”可知，意识到自己的粗心大意阻止了作者批评她的女儿。故选B。
26. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.”(“呃……“我无意中听到别人在谈论这件事，”莱拉说，“他们说他们不知道谁会和我们拼车，因为我们总是迟到。”)”可知，根据Layla的说法，其他人拒绝与他们拼车是因为他们不能准时。故选C。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.(我决心改变。有了对孩子的责任，我发现我从来没有迟到过。这对莱拉和她的哥哥们都有好处，对我也有好处，因为现在我再也不会毫无准备地出门了。我甚至开始检查孩子们的书包里有没有学校的笔记)”结合文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。可推知，文章告诉我们“亡羊补牢，犹未晚也”的道理。故选C。
C
In July 1915, sick James Murray, one of the early editors of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), defined one final word. He had devoted 36 years to the dictionary. Knowing he would not see the project complete, he wrote his last entry: for “twilight”.
The story of Murray’s final days is one of many memorable tales in “The Dictionary People”. Conceived (构思) in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project comprising 3,000 people. The idea was to create a “descriptive” dictionary that tracked words’ use and meaning over time. Volunteers read widely, mailing in examples of how “rare, old-fashioned, new” words were used. What is surprising about this random method is that it worked, achieving order through the large number of contributors.
The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie’s book is almost as improbable as that of the dictionary itself. Ms Ogilvie, an editor for the OED, went into the archives (档案馆) of Oxford University Press and came across an old notebook. It had belonged to Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers, most of whom had previously been unknown. “The Dictionary People” is her work of detective scholarship, presenting the lives behind the names.
The dictionary’s contributors are an engaging cast, including one of Karl Marx’s daughters and J. R. R. Tolkien. For some, the dictionary was something addictive: one contributor supplied 165,061 quotations. Murray, too, was assiduous. He once wrote to George Eliot to ask about a word choice in “Romola”, published 17 years earlier.
Ms Ogilvie’s book is full of strange but interesting tales. Many dictionary lovers engaged in another crowdsourcing fashion: collecting and measuring rainwater. The presentation of the book is irregular, too, taking its structure from the work it describes. For example, in her first chapter, “A for Archaeologist (考古学家),” she relates the early life of Margaret A. Murray, a pioneering Egyptologist. There are 26 alphabetical (按字母顺序排列的) chapters, each celebrating a group of contributors. This is a clever concept.
28. What did the OED’s volunteers do
A. They deleted the words going out of use.
B. They listed instances of changes in word use.
C. They corrected the misuse of common words.
D. They added new words to keep up with the times.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about “The Dictionary People”
A. What Ogilvie achieved with it. B. How Ogilvie told the stories in it.
C. What inspired Ogilvie to write it. D. Who helped Ogilvie to complete it.
30. What does the underlined word “assiduous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Hard-working. B. Easy-going. C. Energetic. D. Flexible.
31. What does the author think of Ms Ogilvie’s book
A. Interesting and creative. B. Encouraging and influential.
C. Traditional and funny. D. Descriptive and surprising.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了牛津英语词典的创作故事以及其中的志愿者和贡献者的故事。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Conceived (构思) in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project comprising 3,000 people. The idea was to create a “descriptive” dictionary that tracked words’ use and meaning over time. (《牛津英语词典》诞生于1857年，是一个由3000人组成的庞大众包项目。当时的想法是创建一本“描述性”词典，追踪单词的使用和含义。)”可知，牛津英语词典的志愿者广泛阅读，寄来单词用法的例子，目的是追踪单词的使用和意义变化。故选B。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie’s book is almost as improbable as that of the dictionary itself. (Sarah Ogilvie这本书的起源故事几乎和字典本身的故事一样难以置信。)”以及“Ms Ogilvie, an editor for the OED, went into the archives (档案馆) of Oxford University Press and came across an old notebook. It had belonged to Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers, most of whom had previously been unknown. (Ogilvie女士是《牛津英语词典》的编辑，她走进牛津大学出版社的档案室，偶然发现了一本旧笔记本。它属于Murray，里面有词典志愿者的名字和详细信息，其中大多数人以前都不为人知。)”可知，Ogilvie在牛津大学出版社的档案中发现了Murray的旧笔记本，其中记录了字典志愿者的姓名和详情。因此本段主要描述了Ogilvie写作《The Dictionary People》的灵感来源。故选C。
30. 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“For some, the dictionary was something addictive: one contributor supplied 165,061 quotations. (对于一些人来说，词典是一种令人上瘾的东西：一名贡献者提供了165,061条引用。)”以及后面的内容“He once wrote to George Eliot to ask about a word choice in “Romola”, published 17 years earlier.( 他曾经写信给George Eliot询问她17年前发表的《Romola》中的一个词的选择问题。)”可知，Murray跟词条贡献者一样勤奋，曾经写信给George Eliot询问她17年前发表的《Romola》中的一个词的选择问题。A选项“Hard-working.(勤奋的)”符合题意。故选A。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ms Ogilvie’s book is full of strange but interesting tales. (Ms Ogilvie女士的书中充满了奇怪但有趣的故事)”，“The presentation of the book is irregular, too, taking its structure from the work it describes.(这本书的呈现也是不规则的，它的结构来自于它所描述的工作)”以及“There are 26 alphabetical (按字母顺序排列的) chapters, each celebrating a group of contributors. This is a clever concept.(全书有26个按字母顺序排列的章节，每个章节都颂扬一群贡献者。这是一个聪明的想法)”可知，最后一段提到这本书的内容奇特而有趣，结构也颇为独特，按字母顺序排列了26章，每一章都展示了一组贡献者。这个“聪明”的概念显示了作者对该书的赞赏。A选项“Interesting and creative.(有趣又有创意)”符合作者的观点。故选A。
D
Digital mindfulness is the application of mindfulness practices in your digital life. According to Jon Kabat Zinn, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Medicine School, mindfulness is “a means of paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non judgmentally”. Here two main key points are emphasized when it comes to mindfulness as a practice in your digital life.
The first point is that you must learn to do things on purpose. For instance, you use your phone as a habitual escape from boredom or stress, which is thought by many as a quick solution to all those negative feelings. But what if you get only negative responses from your phone—the news or posts are negative Instead of finding peace, you find more boredom and more stress. The solution that mindfulness provides is purposeful and intentional choice. Therefore, you are empowered to choose how to respond to the stimulus(刺激) behind such feelings as boredom, loneliness, and stress and not just treat the symptoms(症状).
The other key is going through the experience non judgmentally. When you feel sad or angry because of a post on social media, all you ever do is to go through the experience and let it flow. At its core, mindfulness involves the acceptance of your memories, feelings, and thoughts minus any judgment on yourself or others because of those things. These feelings, memories, and experiences come and go. After they have passed, you are still you and in control. You will become more aware of your inner world. It’s this internal monologue(独白) that pushes you to grab your digital technology (phone, Alexa speaker, TV, etc.).
Digital mindfulness is not about avoiding the negative things in life. Through mindfulness practice, you regain the power to learn from these experiences and healthily deal with the negative. Mindfulness will also teach you to be aware of all your emotions, so you learn to deal with the things that you used to avoid. Finally, digital mindfulness brings you peace of mind in an ever changing and increasingly connected world.
Now, I would rather prefer to think of it as one of many tools that we can use in our daily life.
32. What does the author suggest readers do when they feel stressed in their digital life
A. Find something interesting to do.
B. Use the phone as a habitual escape.
C. Keep away from the negative responses.
D. Deal with the root cause of the problem.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Negative feelings should be avoided or controlled.
B. Mindfulness involves both acceptance and judgment.
C. Mindfulness helps us fully experience life as it happens.
D. Digital technology is the key to understanding our inner world.
34. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How Can You Avoid Negative Feelings
B. How Can You Define Digital Mindfulness
C. How Can Digital Mindfulness Help You
D. How Can Digital Mindfulness Harm You
35. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph
A. Applications of mindfulness in communication.
B. Ways of practising mindfulness in the digital age.
C. Development of mindfulness in medical field.
D. Benefits of practising digital mindfulness in daily life.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了数字正念练习的两个要点以及数字正念的好处。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The solution that mindfulness provides is purposeful and intentional choice. Therefore, you are empowered to choose how to respond to the stimulus(刺激) behind such feelings as boredom, loneliness, and stress and not just treat the symptoms(症状).(正念提供的解决方案是有目的和有意的选择。因此，你有权选择如何应对无聊、孤独和压力等情绪背后的刺激因素，而不仅仅是治疗症状。)”可知，作者建议在面对无聊、孤独和压力等情绪时，要应对其背后的根源，而不仅仅是治疗症状。故选D。
33. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The other key is going through the experience nonjudgmentally. When you feel sad or angry because of a post on social media, all you ever do is to go through the experience and let it flow. (另一个关键是不带偏见地体验。当你因为社交媒体上的一条帖子而感到悲伤或愤怒时，你所做的就是经历这段经历，让它顺其自然。)”和第三段中的“These feelings, memories, and experiences come and go. After they have passed, you are still you and in control. You will become more aware of your inner world.(这些感受、记忆和经历来来往往。在它们过去之后，你仍然是你自己，并处于控制之中。你会更加了解自己的内心世界。)”可推测出，在进行正念练习时，要不带偏见地体验，顺其自然地经历这段经历，不让感受、记忆和经历控制自己，保持自我，由此可推测出，正念能够帮助我们顺其自然地充分体验生活。故选C。
34. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段最后一句“Here two main key points are emphasized when it comes to mindfulness as a practice in your digital life.(当谈到正念作为数字生活中的一种练习时，这里强调了两个主要要点。)”可知，本文围绕数字正念练习时应注意的两个要点展开，只在帮助人们在数字生活中进行正念练习，所以C项“数字正念怎么帮你？”最适合作本文标题。故选C。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now, I would rather prefer to think of it as one of many tools that we can use in our daily life.(现在，我更愿意把它看作是我们日常生活中可以使用的众多工具之一。)”可知，最后一段谈到作者更愿意把数字正念看作在日常生活中可以使用的一个工具，由此可推测出，接下来文章可能会谈论在数字时代下练习正念的方式。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国苏州古典园林的历史和现状。
56. 考查时态。句意：16到18世纪见证了苏州古典园林的鼎盛时期，随着城市作为经济中心的崛起，这里大约有250个园林。分析句子可知，空处作句子的谓语，主语为The 16th to 18th centuries，此处在叙述过去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时。故填witnessed。
57. 考查冠词。句意：16到18世纪见证了苏州古典园林的鼎盛时期，随着城市作为经济中心的崛起，这里大约有250个园林。分析句子可知，空处表示泛指，意为“一个经济中心”，应用不定冠词，且economic的发音以元音音素开头，应用an。故填an。
58. 考查代词。句意：其中一些不可避免地随着时间的流逝而消失了，但最近的一些仍在蓬勃发展。根据上文“around 250 gardens”可推知，此处应用the more recent ones特指前面的可数名词复数gardens。故填ones。
59. 考查定语从句。句意：2015年至2018年的一项调查显示，该市有108座古典园林，其中57座位于姑苏区的历史街区。分析句子可知，空处和空前的57 of构成“数词+of+关系代词”的结构，引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词108 classical gardens作补充说明，先行词指物，应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。
60. 考查介词。句意：苏州市园林设计研究院院长贺风春说：“苏州园林在设计中融合了不同的自然景观元素，体现了人们对自然的崇拜。”根据“mixing elements of different natural landscapes”和“their designs”可推知，此处用固定短语mix sth. into sth.表示“将……融合进……”。故填into。

63. 考查副词。句意：在过去的几个世纪里，苏州也在很大程度上引领了中国古代园林的发展。分析句子可知，空处修饰动词directed，large的副词形式largely符合题意，意为“很大程度上”。故填largely。
64. 考查非谓语动词。句意：苏州保护监管中心主任朱海俊认为，对年轻一代的教育项目是面向未来传承非物质遗产的关键。分析句子可知，空处作介词to的宾语，the key to doing sth.意为“做某事的关键”，pass应用动名词形式。故填passing。
65. 考查名词的数。句意：我们想在他们的心中种下一颗种子，这样花园就能经久不衰。age在这里意为“（历史上的）时代，时期”，为可数名词，结合语境可知，此处表达“历久弥新，经久不衰”，age应用复数形式。故填ages。

A First Aid Experience
Last Sunday Tom’s left foot got injured on our way to climbing a hill and he was in desperate need of help.
Facing it, I dialed 120 without delay and performed first aid before the doctors came instead of getting into a panic. Having put his left foot in a comfortable position, I rushed to a shop to buy bags of ice, carefully applying the ice to the swelling to ease the pain. Eventually, I wrapped the injury loosely with a clean and dry bandage. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Tom to the hospital.
Only then was I aware of what a difference a basic knowledge of first aid could make, especially in such a case.

Thomas, a skinny young boy, loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench (板凳) and hardly ever played.
This teenager lived alone with his father, and the relationship between the two of them was very special. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a benchwarmer. Besides, his faithful father was always in the stands, always with word of encouragement for him. The young man loved football and was determined to hang in there, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior.
It was at the end of his senior football season and as he ran to the practice field shortly before the big playoff (夺标决赛) that the coach met him with a telegram(电报). The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent: Biting his lip, he breathed, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today ” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”
Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the second half when the team was two scores behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football wear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon.

【答案】
“Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. He held out the telegram, tears glistening in his eyes. The coach took the telegram and read it silently, his expression softening with understanding. He nodded slowly, realizing the significance of this moment for the young man. “You go out there and play your heart out, son,” the coach replied, placing a reassuring hand on the young man’s shoulder. “Your father would’ve wanted that.” With a determined nod, the young man wiped away his tears and headed onto the field, ready to honor his father’s memory in the best way he knew how.
This little unknown, who had never played before, was doing everything right. As the game progressed, the young man seemed to be everywhere at once, chasing down opponents, making crucial tackles, and even intercepting a pass. His teammates watched in awe as he transformed into a powerhouse on the field, his father’s spirit seemingly guiding every move he made. With each play, he honored not just his father’s memory, but also his own unwavering determination to never give up.
