David Gill might be the richest man in Sebastopol, California. The semi-retired health care administrator is banking the most valuable currency in the world：Time. Gill currently has 480 hours in his savings account at the local time bank.
In brief, a time bank does with time what other banks do with money: It stores and trades it. "Time banking means that for every hour you give to your community, you receive an hour credit," explains Krista Wyatt, executive director of the nonprofit TimeBanks.
In Sebastopol, 250 residents have time bank accounts where they save and withdraw hours as needed. For instance, Gill, who is also the main local time bank coordinator, likes to offer his expertise with computer programming, editing and financial planning. In return, he asks for help when he needs a ride to the airport or someone to transport heavy furniture. The time banks are building social capital（资金）. "I've made wonderful friends I wouldn't have met otherwise and we now invite each other to our garden parties," says Gill. "It's about making community and being a part of the community. You can't put a price on that stuff."
Some cities look to time banks as a model to support an aging population. In St. Gallen, Switzerland, only members over the age of 50 may join the local time bank Stiftung Zeitvorsorge. While Sebastopol's time bank is more geared toward practical services to fill a gap other community services don't address, members in St. Gallen regularly help seniors run errands, shop for groceries, take them to the doctor or simply keep them company. "Even if only five people were enabled to enter care homes a year later," the foundation's executive director Jurg Weibel recently told the German magazine Der Spiegel, "the investment would have already recovered itself." "The reality is that grown-up kids live in other areas," Weibel said. "Also, many seniors are consciously looking for a new purpose."
24. Why does the author mention David Gill in paragraph 1
A. To announce the news. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show his richness. D. To present his new job.
25. Which of the following can receive credits in a time bank
A. A manager who devotes his time to the company.
B. A teacher who spends time instructing his students.
C. A doctor who offers free advice to seniors in a community.
D. A police officer who bravely saves a kid in a fighting.
26. What is David Gill's attitude towards the time bank
A. Positive. B. Ambiguous. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
27. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. Anyone can join the local time bank Stiftung Zeitvorsorge.
B. Members in St. Gallen can offer mental support to seniors.
C. One can make a fortune through the investment in time banks.
D. Seniors in St. Gallen are unwilling to live with their children.
C
We grow up with a mixed message: making mistakes is a necessary learning tool, but we should avoid them. And that's a real shame. Because when we tell kids that learning is all about the results, we teach them that mistakes are something to be feared and avoided. We stifle（压制）their interest in experimenting because experimenting means you're going to make a mess and fail. And that's too big a risk.
Here's a fascinating experiment that shows how children absorb what we say about effort vs. results. One of professor Carol Dweck's experiments asked 400 5th graders in New York City schools to take an easy short test, on which almost all performed well. Half the children were praised for "being really smart". The other half were complimented for "having worked really hard". Then the students were asked to take a second test and given the option of either choosing one that was pretty simple and that they would do well on, or one that was more challenging, but on which they might make mistakes. Of those students praised for effort, 90 percent chose the harder test. Of those praised for being smart, the majority chose the easy test. Professor Dweck told me: "One thing I've learned is that kids are exquisitely（敏锐地）familiar to the real message, and the real message is ‘Be smart’. It's not ‘We love it when you struggle or when you learn and make mistakes.’"
One way we can fix this is by understanding the concepts of "fixed mindsets" and "growth mindsets". Those with fixed mindsets believe either we're good at something—whether it's math or music or baseball—or we're not. When we have this fixed mindset, mistakes serve no purpose but to highlight failure. Those with growth mindsets are much more likely to be able to accept mistakes because they know that they're part of learning. And it's been shown that when students are taught about growth mindsets, their motivation to learn improves.
28. Why do children often avoid experimenting
A. They consider the process time-consuming.
B. They prefer easy tasks over challenging ones.
C. They are not interested in hands-on activities.
D. They are afraid of making mistakes and failing.
29. What lesson can we learn from professor Carol Dweck's experiment
A. Praise promotes children's self-confidence.
B. Keep children away from struggle and mistakes.
C. Praise children for their devotion instead of their talent.
D. Parents should give their children timely encouragement.
30. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A guidebook to parenting.
B. A report on the art of praise.
C. An introduction to a psychology book.
D. A review of modern teaching.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. Is Making Mistakes a Challenging Process
B. Is Making Mistakes a Bad Thing Among Kids
C. Should Kids Be Praised for Efforts or Results
D. Should Kids Have Fixed Mindsets or Growth Mindsets
D
Samarkand in Uzbekistan hosted an important intergovernmental conference on how to stop the slow spread of degraded（退化）land. Between 2015 and 2019, the world lost at least 100 million hectares of healthy and productive land a year, according to an analysis for the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification（UNCCD）. Human activities—including destroying forests and agricultural practices—and climate change are among the main causes.
115 countries reported ahead of the meeting on three measures for restoring degraded land and soil: protecting the area used for agriculture or covered by forests or wetlands; increasing the ability of land to support and sustain life, retaining above-and below-ground stocks of carbon. Reaching the target of "land degradation neutrality（土地退化中性）" by 2030 means reversing a negative trend: the global share of land that is degraded increased from 14.7% in 2015 to 18. 9% in 2019.
Yet there are some important signs of hope amid a mostly bleak prospect. The analysis enables countries to understand land degradation at a more granular（细致的）level than before. And the UNCCD's science teams helped to train researchers in some of the most-affected countries, so that local scientists and policymakers could do the work themselves. And some countries are moving in the right direction. In Ecuador, for example, the area of land classed as degraded went from 21.9% to 12.8% between 2015 and 2019.
Land degradation is not a priority on the world's environmental agenda. Although the UNCCD has the same status as the UN conventions on climate change and biodiversity, unlike them it does not have an autonomous body that provides independent scientific advice. Restoration projects also receive much less international funding.
This funding gap illustrates just how little priority is given to restoring land and preventing further countries are providing data. These nations, especially high-income countries, should start reporting degradation. Yet the latest analysis shows what can be done even with limited resources. But not all their plans and actions, to raise the profile of land degradation.
32. Which of the measures is mentioned before the conference
A. Developing more forests or wetlands.
B. Increasing industrial productivity.
C. Making people support their life.
D. Keeping the stocks of carbon.
33. What does the underlined word "bleak" mean in paragraph 3
A. Dark. B. Interesting. C. Wonderful. D. Reasonable.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The land degradation is serious nowadays.
B. Land degradation isn't sufficiently prioritized.
C. The biodiversity deserves more attention.
D. More funds are obtained for the restoration project.
35. What can rich countries do about the land degradation
A. Provide funding to support relevant projects.
B. Help other countries to collect and analyze data.
C. Start reporting their own schedules and actions.
D. Stop land degradation in their countries completely.

Jackson Merle was exhausted. He was in need of money because his wife was in hospital. He had been knocking on door after door, looking for work, but no one would even listen to what he had to say. No one wanted to talk to an old man. He stood in front of the biggest house on the block. This was his last chance for the day. Every homeowner on the street had run Jackson off, without even listening to his proposal, and maybe this one would be different Jackson rang the doorbell. Within minutes a pretty young woman opened the door.
"Good morning," she said cheerfully, "What can I do for you " Jackson was heartened by her sunny smile and friendly attitude. "Good morning, miss," he said, "I'm a handyman, and I'm here to offer you and your family my services." "What kind of work do you do " she asked.
"I do anything you might need, miss," Jackson said, "I do some woodwork, painting, cabinet making; I fix small appliances, some gardening, anything you need-and my rates are very reasonable." "Come on in," the woman smiled, "I have a table with a wobbly（摇摆的）leg that needs fixing, and maybe you can paint my guest room " Jackson couldn't believe his ears. He walked into the woman's beautiful house, toolbox in hand.
First, he fixed the table, while the woman—who introduced herself as Ruth—sat watching him work and chatting to him. Then he looked at the guest room. Ruth gave him money to buy paint so he could fix it up the next day. She also paid him twice what he'd asked for the table. "But, miss," Jackson protested, "You've given me too much money!" "No, I haven't, Jackson." Ruth told him firmly, "My daddy always told me to pay a fair price for a job well done, and that's what I'm doing!"
Over the next few weeks, Ruth's neighbor Jolene was surprised to see the elderly man coming in and out of Ruth's house with his toolbox in hand. Everything in Ruth's home looking perfect, Jolene didn't see why she needed a handyman five days a week.

Reading books can expand our knowledge of the world. UNESCO established April 23rd as World Book and Copyright Day in 1995. Do you know its history Setting aside a day to celebrate books traces its beginnings to the Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andres. In 1922, he proposed the idea as a way to honor the author, Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later, the first celebration took place on October 7th, Miguel's birthday, but the later celebration was moved to April 23rd, the date of his death, in 1930. In 1995, the UNESCO General Conference decided to show respect for authors and books worldwide as a way of encouraging everyone to access books. Choosing April 23rd seemed a logical choice. Besides being the date of Miguel's death, it also happens to be the date when William Shakespeare died and some other important authors' birthdays. Annually since 2001, one city around the world has been chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year. The selected city will carry out activities to encourage "a culture of reading and sharing its values in all ages and population groups in and out of the national borders". The idea was put forward by Spain in 2001, and Madrid was designated the first capital, followed by Alexandria and then New Delhi.

23. D 细节理解题。文章最后一部分倒数第二句提到艺术节还将展出罗得岛州纽波特当代芭蕾舞团和奥林匹亚芭蕾舞剧院的新作品。故选D。
B
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕David Gill与时间银行之间的故事展开。人们将为他人服务的时长储蓄在“时间银行”内，当自己需要帮助时，再从“银行”提取相应的时长以获取他人的服务。
24. B 推理判断题。根据后文可知，本文介绍了时间银行的概念、运作方式等以及一些城市将时间银行视为支持老龄化人口的模式的探索。因此可知本文开头提到David Gill是为了引出时间银行这个话题。故选项B正确。
25. C 推理判断题。文章第二段中Krista Wyatt提到：时间储蓄意味着你每为社区贡献一个小时，你就会得到一个小时的积分。并以David Gill为例，说明用自己的专业能力去为社区服务，就可以在时间银行获取一定的积分。故选项C正确。
26. A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，David Gill在为社区服务的活动中非常活跃，目前在时间银行拥有480小时的“存款”，再根据第三段的内容可推知，David Gill对时间银行的态度是肯定的。故选项A正确。
27. B 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，只有50岁以上的会员才能加入当地的Stiftung Zeitvorsorge，A项错误；根据第四段可知，即使一年后只有5个人得以入住养老院，投资也能收回成本，但这并不意味着投资时间银行可以赚大钱，因此C项错误；该段讲到的现实情况是，成年孩子住在其他地区，此外，许多老年人都在有意识地寻找新的人生目标，这并不意味着这里的老人不愿意和孩子生活在一起，因此D项错误；根据本段可知，St. Gallen的会员经常帮助老年人跑腿、购买杂货、带他们去看医生，或者只是陪伴他们。故选项B正确。
C
本文是一篇议论文。我们总教导孩子们应避免犯错，作者认为这种观念是错误的，因为这会抑制他们对尝试新事物的兴趣。作者建议我们应该理解“固定思维模式”和“成长型思维模式”的概念，以帮助孩子们更好地接受错误并从中学习，并且提升他们的学习动力。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句内容可知，人们教导孩子们，犯错会让人感觉到害怕和恐惧，要学会去规避错误。人们扼杀了孩子们对尝试的兴趣，因为在人们眼里尝试意味着可能会把事情搞得一团糟，然后失败。在人们的“教导”下，孩子们变得畏惧失败。故选D。
29. C 推理判断题。根据第二段试验结果可知，在那些被表扬努力的学生中，90%的人选择了更难的测试；而在那些被称赞聪明的学生中，大多数人选择了简单的测试。孩子们关注的焦点在“聪明”二字，而非努力学习和犯错。因此，人们在表扬孩子时，应多肯定他们的付出和不畏惧失败的精神。故选C。
30. A 推理判断题。本文主要讨论了孩子们在成长过程中面临的一个矛盾信息：犯错是学习的必要工具，但我们总教导孩子们应避免犯错。作者认为教导孩子们避免犯错这种观念是错误的，因为这会抑制他们对尝试新事物的兴趣。作者引用了Carol Dweck教授的实验来说明孩子们对努力和结果的关注程度不同：那些被称赞为努力学习的孩子更倾向于选择更具挑战性的测试，而那些被称赞为聪明的孩子则更倾向于选择简单的测试。作者建议我们应该理解“固定思维模式”和“成长型思维模式”的概念，以帮助孩子们更好地接受错误并从中学习。当孩子们了解成长型思维模式时，他们的学习动力会得到提高。因此本文最有可能选自一本与教育孩子相关的书籍。故选A。
31. B 标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要论述了犯错并不是一件坏事，我们应该告诉孩子不要害怕犯错，并从错误中学习。故选B项。
D
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了土地退化问题的严峻形势，以及各国和国际组织为扭转这一趋势所做的努力。
32. D 细节理解题。根据第二段"115 countries reported ahead of the meeting…retaining above-and below-ground stocks of carbon"可知答案选D。
33. A 词义猜测题。文章第一段提到了土地退化的严重性，此段后面提到了各级机构和组织对此采取的一些积极措施，特别是第二段段末提到土地退化的数据。因此可推知画线词所在句的意思是：然而，在前景黯淡的情况下，仍有一些充满希望的迹象。故选A。
34. B 段落大意题。通过第四段的介绍可知，土地退化不是世界环境议程上的优先事项，它没有提供建议的自主机构，得到的资金也比同等级的其他公约少，因此推出本段意在介绍土地退化没有得到充分的重视，这与B选项相符合。故选B。
35. C 细节理解题。根据文章第五段第四句可知，高收入国家应该开始报告他们的计划和行动，这与C选项相符合。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自爱的重要性。
36. A 上文提到我们在无数次鼓舞人心的演讲中听到，自爱是幸福生活的基础。下文提到因为我们从一开始就被教导要无私并解释了我们无法自爱的原因。故 A 项“为什么我们仍然不会爱自己呢”承上启下，符合语境。故选A。
37. F 上文提到“当我们开始考虑自己的那一刻，我们周围的每个人都会提醒我们自己有多自私”，下文提到“爱自己并不是自私的行为”。故可推知F项符合语境。故选F。
38. E 下文提到树根越强壮，风就越难刮倒树枝。E项“自爱是你所有健康关系的根”引出下文，符合语境。故选E。
39. D下文提到我们也被教导要互相照顾。但是，我们中有人问过自己，世界上我们最应该关心谁吗？我们的父母？家人朋友？亲属？答案很简单：我们自己！D项“我们被教导要关心身边的每一个人”引出下文，符合语境。故选D。
40. C 上文提及期待别人来照顾你是不可能的。C项“只有你才是最能照顾好你自己的人”承接上文，符合语境。故选 C。

47. B 考查动词辨析。此处表示“狗的主人总会（主动跟我打招呼）用当地的瑞士方言对我说一两句客套话”。故选B。
48. C 考查副词辨析。由上文"little of which I understood"和下文“just smile and pass"可知，作者起初并不能完全听懂。故选C。
49. C考查名词辨析。根据"a sharp warning bark”可知，作者与Etti和伯恩山犬相遇时，它总是会谨慎地盯着作者，并发出尖锐的吠叫声。故选C。
50. D 考查动词短语辨析。根据文意“这种情况一周又一周地持续”可知，此处表示时光流逝。故选D。
51. D 考查动词辨析。根据下文"a deeply rolled ‘R’ and long ‘O’”可知，此处表示的是"发音”。故选D。

One possible version:
Our school newspaper recently conducted a survey to explore the eating preference of students, and the results are shown in the provided chat.
The chart reveals some striking statistics. Meat dominates our diet, with an astonishing 90% of students opting for it, while vegetables are the least favored, chosen by only 23% of participants. Surprisingly, soft drinks hold a significant share, making up 78% of our eating preference. Additionally, more than half of the respondents favor snacks.
The data offer valuable insights. In summary, it's evident that students should increase their vegetable intake and reduce their consumption of soft drinks and snacks to lead a healthier life. It's crucial that we take action rather than being satisfied with our current eating preference.
One possible version:
Ruth smiled and explained she was actually helping Jackson. Jackson needed the work and money badly. He wasn't asking for charity, but for good honest work. Jackson's wife was ill, and their insurance couldn't cover all her hospital costs. Jackson barely had enough to live, which was why he needed to work. Jolene understood it and praised her for what she had done. Then he asked why Ruth didn't give him the money. Ruth said she'd rather give him work so he could earn the money and keep his self-respect.
Jolene was moved by Ruth's kindness and thoughtfulness and spread her deeds. The next day Jolene asked Jackson if he had time to fix up his old garage. Jackson agreed and fixed the garage. Such a good job did he do that soon the entire neighborhood had him worked. Jackson became the local handyman and earned enough to make ends meet. Even after his wife recovered from her illness, Jackson carried on working for Ruth and his other customers. Thanks to Ruth's kindness, Jackson got the opportunity to earn his money with dignity.
