When I was a little boy growing up, my Mom, Dad, brothers and I lived in my grandma’s old house. It was surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. And around the house so many flowers were planted. It was so beautiful there in the spring and summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch(门廊) grandma had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and nurtured them. And in the winter, she would carry them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows of our enclosed front porch. There with a little water and a lot of love she kept them alive, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months.
As a boy I was puzzled by all the effort she put into them. I understood the vegetable gardens. They helped to feed the family all winter long. I even understood the flowers around the house. They were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me. They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind.
Now as I’ve grown older, I am beginning to understand why myggrandma had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark, cold, winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love, and growth still exist. They remind me that Spring will come again. They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it.
Today I see grandma’s potted plants in a new light. They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is grandma herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived.
24. Which of the following is close in meaning to the underlined word “eluded” in paragraph 2
A．Upset. B．Misguided. C．Confused. D．Unhappy.
25. Why did grandma like potted plants
A．They were a sign of hope.
B．They resembled（与...相似） sunrise and forests.
C．They constantly kept grandma company（陪伴）. D．They were portable（便携的） and easy to nurture（培养）.
26. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To advocate growing potted plants. B. To sing the praise of grandma’s spirit and love.
C. To stress the benefits of a positive lifestyle. D. To recall beautiful memories spent with grandma.
27. What’s the type of the passage
A．A non-fiction. B．A book review.
C．An agricultural brochure. D．A celebrity biography.

People generally like to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking one.
A trial run of the ugly food line, named "Naturally Imperfect", began with only apples and potatoes to choose from Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more ugly vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal produce go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.
"It really went well beyond our expectation," Branson said "I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options."
Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, and they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.
"If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won't look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store", said Branson "And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly. I'd like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put it right beside a No. 1 apple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference."
28. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that .
A. more fruits are offered at lower prices
B. normal-looking produce is forbidden there
C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day
29. According to Paragraph 3, Loblaws's program .
A. prevents people from wasting their food
B. happens to be a win-win mode
C. teaches food producers how to grow
D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce

A Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.
B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.
C. Loblaws intends to improve customers' quality of life.
D. Customers' support promotes the development of the ugly food line.
31. What do Branson's words in the last paragraph mainly tell us
A We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed
B. The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.
D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.
D
World No Tobacco Day(世界无烟日) is observed around the world annually on May 31st. It is a global initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about the health risks associated with tobacco use and to advocate for effective policies to reduce tobacco(烟草) consumption.
Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide and is responsible for numerous health problems, including various types of cancer, heart disease, respiratory diseases, and other chronic conditions. Currently, more than 8 million deaths are caused annually worldwide, including 1.2 million deaths from second-hand smoke exposure in non-smokers.
The Member States of the WHO created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco and the preventable death and disease it causes. In 1987, the World Health Assembly passed Resolution WHA40.38, calling for 7th April 1988 to be a world no-smoking day. "In 1988, Resolution WHA42.19 was passed, calling for the celebration of World No Tobacco Day, every year on 31st May.
On World No Tobacco Day, numerous activities and initiatives take place globally to promote tobacco control. These can include public awareness campaigns, educational programs in schools and communities, smoking cessation support, advocacy for stronger tobacco control policies, and various events to encourage individuals to quit smoking.
Each year, the WHO chooses a specific theme for World No Tobacco Day to focus on a particular aspect of tobacco control. The theme may address issues such as the impact of tobacco on lung health, 'the dangers of tobacco industry marketing strategies, or the importance of providing assistance to individuals who want to quit smoking. This theme then becomes the central component of the WHO's tobacco-related agenda for the following year. The WHO oversees the creation and distribution of publicity materials related to the theme, including brochures, fliers, posters, websites, and press releases.
The ultimate purpose of World No Tobacco Day is to raise awareness, encourage individuals to quit tobacco use, and prevent young people from starting smoking. Since 1988, the WHO has presented one or more awards to organizations or individuals who have made exceptional contributions to reducing tobacco consumption.

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。有两项为多余选项。
If you're a shy person, meeting people and making new friends might be hard for you. The good news is that there are tons of tips, strategies, and skills that can make it easier to make friends as a shy person.
Greet (和……打招呼) people warmly. If you can make others feel more comfortable when they approach you, you won't have to do so much to start conversations or make plans. 36 This is especially important if you have trouble starting conversations.
37 It's almost impossible to make new friends if you never leave home, so spending more time in public is an important step toward making new friends. The more time you spend in public, the more likely you are to meet people.
Choose low-key venues (地点). 38 This is why it can help to be strategic about the places you go; choose events and venues that are more low-key. For example, it's often easier for shy people to start conversations in coffee shops.
Use friend apps to find like-minded people. 39 The key to being successful is to show the “real” you. For example, listing some of your hobbies, personality traits (特点), or interests can help you connect to like-minded people.
Try to listen and focus on the other person. 40 If this is true for you, it can help to focus more on the other person than yourself by trying to get to know them better. Do this by asking more open-ended questions and working to become a better listener.
A. Don't judge too fast.
B. Go out in public more to meet new people.
C. More people are using these apps to connect with people.
D. A lot of shy people struggle more with talking than listening.
E. Instead, other people will begin coming to you, taking some pressure off.
F. Try to reconnect with old friends you may have lost contact with for a long time.
G. People who are shy often feel uncomfortable when they're in large or noisy places.

When I was a kid, my parents and I lived near the forest. They often told me that our family was a team that needed to work together for the household to function smoothly. There was always an abundance of work to do--cooking, cleaning, and walking dogs. I volunteered to walk our dog, Max, who had been adopted one month before. I never dared let this giant dog off the lead, just in case he took off .
One morning, we were walking along in the forest when Max started pulling on the lead（牵狗绳）. At first, I was able to hold on despite the wet ground from a recent shower. But the more I tried to stop him pulling, the more it turned into a tug of war（拔河）. And thanks to the slippery ground, I lost.
Pulling his lead, Max shot off（冲出）like a bullet, leaving me screaming behind. I chased（追） him but lost my footing and fell face - first into some mud. I stumbled to my feet but looking ahead, I found him running back towards me. I thought he was going to stop and give me his " Sorry " look. But instead, the dog shot past me and returned after a while.
As soon as we got home, my mother immediately attended to Max with a warm towel and a doggy treat. I thought seeing me stumbling and covered in mud, I would also get a warm cup of tea and a motherly kiss. Instead, I got a very loud lecture(说教) about letting the dog loose in the forest.
I felt frustrated. It wasn’t fair that she didn’t understand how difficult it was to control Max. I fought back," Stop lecturing me! Why is everything my fault " With these words, I stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door shut（用力关门）.
In the evening, I heard my mother call Max and take him out. It wasn’t long before I heard my mother screaming and the door opening again.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

主题语境：人与社会——人际沟通
本文是说明文。文章介绍了五条有关腼腆的人如何交朋友的小技巧。
36. E。根据本段主旨句Greet people warmly可知，本段建议腼腆的人在和别人打招呼时热情一些。再结合空前的If you can make others ... start conversations or make plans可推断，设空处应是和别人热情打招呼的好处，因此E项符合语境。E项中的coming to和上文中的approach为同义词复现关系。
37. B。根据本段中的spending more time in public is an important step toward making new friends和The more time you spend in public, the more likely you are to meet people可知，设空处应建议腼腆的人多到公共场合去结识新朋友，且是本段的主旨句，因此B项符合语境。B项中的public与下文中的public为原词复现关系。
38. G。根据本段主旨句Choose low-key venues可知，本段建议腼腆的人选择一些低调的场合去交新朋友。再结合空后的This is why it can help ... that are more low-key可知，设空处应解释腼腆的人选择低调的场合的原因，因此G项（腼腆的人在大型或者吵闹的场合经常不自在）符合语境。G项中的large和noisy与上文中的low-key语义相反；下文中的This指的是设空处的内容。
39. C。根据本段主旨句Use friend apps to find like-minded people可知，本段建议腼腆的人使用一些交友的应用程序来找到志同道合的朋友，因此设空处应与使用交友应用程序有关，故选C项。C项中的apps与上文中的apps为原词复现关系。
40. D。根据本段主旨句Try to listen and focus on the other person可知，本段建议腼腆的人多倾听对方。再结合空后的If this is true for you ... know them better可推断，设空处应指出对腼腆的人来说倾听可能比主动交谈更容易一些，故选D项。D项中的listening与上文中的listen为原词复现关系；下文中的this指的是设空处的内容。
