One January evening in 2008, Rachel Lapierre bought a $4 lottery ticket (彩票) at the grocery store. As a nearly full-time emergency-room nurse and part-time volunteer aid worker, after an exhausting day cutting sugar maples, she needed something to lift her spirits. For years, Lapierre had done humanitarian work overseas for organizations and she longed to be able to one day quit her nursing job and focus on the volunteer work she found most fulfilling.
She swore to herself that if she ever won the lottery, that’s what she would do. Lapierre went home and scratched her ticket, revealing three sunny faces. Not sure what they meant, she took it to a corner store, where the ticket-checking machine went berserk but didn’t reveal the prize. The next day, the lottery office informed her that she had won a lump sum of $675,700 or $1,700 a week for life. She chose the latter. “I know myself,” she says. “The lump sum would have melted like snow in the sun.”
Staying true to her word, Lapierre quit her nursing job and dedicated her life to helping others through her passion project, Le Book Humanitaire, which has since become a registered charity. Le Book, as Lapierre, now 62, affectionately calls it, began as a simple list of good deeds she jotted down in a black-and-white notebook. She had been using it to keep track of what she had done to help those living in the small communities around her.
To her, the deeds were just small acts of kindness that anyone else might have done. But word started spreading, her phone began ringing and a Facebook page she created for the project became an efficient way to field requests from those in need and those who wanted to help.
Le Book Humanitaire now has a team of 80 volunteers. The non-profit provides local emergency support, homeless and medical out-reach, food delivery for seniors and a community fridge. Its kitchen volunteers make about 500 meals a day, with all food donated from local restaurants, hospitals and schools.
The book itself It has since been replaced by dozens more, representing millions of deeds. In 2022 alone, the organization carried out nearly 450,700 acts of service.
24．What can we infer from the first two paragraphs
A．Lapierre chose a lump sum of $675,700.
B．Lapierre loved her full-time job very much.
C．Lapierre knew the meaning of three sunny faces at first.
D．Lapierre didn’t think she would spend a large amount of money wisely.
25．What is Le Book Humanitaire
A．It is a notebook. B．It is a non-profit charity.
C．It is a Facebook page. D．It is run by local communities.
26．Which of the following is true about the project
A．It conducted 45,000 acts of service in all.
B．It provided everything a community needed.
C．It relied on local donations to provide meals.
D．It was just about small acts of kindness for anyone else.
27．Which words can best describe Lapierre

Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie, as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets. When does watching a film become such a slog
The Economist analyzed over 100, 700 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, the start of Hollywood’s golden age, using data from IMDb, a movie database. The average length of productions rose by around 24%, from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47 minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.
One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out “event” movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: Avengers: Endgame Marvel’s three-hour superhero masterpieces, was the highest-grossing (票房最高的) film in 2019. Last year long movies series made up most of the highest-grossing films in America.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr. Nolan to cut out his masterpieces Moreover, streaming platforms, which do not have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by promising them sufficient fund and creative flix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019, a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor, Irish or otherwise.
28．The underlined part “a slog” in paragraph 1 refers to a(n) ______.
A．pleasure B．effort C．conflict D．feast
29．What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A．The average length affects the popularity of films.
B．Great advances have been made in film industry.
C．Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films.
D．The average duration of movies has stretched.
30．What sets the trend of longer movies
A．Competition for the target audience. B．Thirst for more classic productions.
C．Influence of streaming platforms. D．Preference for decisive editors.
31．What is probably the best title for the passage
A．Movie Enthusiasts B．Movie Marathons C．Movie Production D. Movie Influence
D
You’re lying in bed, looking at the ceiling. Go to sleep, you tell yourself. You shut your eyes tight, force your body to relax, and wait for the pleasant sleep to come. But nothing happens. It’s 3 a. m. and you’re still staring at the ceiling.
We have all been in this situation. Try as we might, it is nearly impossible to let yourself sleep. Sleep comes to those who let their mind wander and focus on anything other than sleep itself. Count sheep, control your breathing, listen to an audiobook, or whatever—so long as it turns your mind from wanting to sleep. This is a common example of the “law of reversed effort (反向努力定律).”
The Law of Reversed Effort was first created by Aldous Huxley. “The harder we try with the conscious will to do something, the less we shall succeed.” Suppose, for instance, that you are learning how to ride a bike. You are told to hold the handlebars, to push off with this foot, to pedal at that speed, to hold your balance here, and so on. When riding, we know all these instructions, but we do not try to do them. They just happen. In Huxley’s words, it’s “combining relaxation with activity.”
There’s a spiritual way of viewing the “law of reversed effort” as well. It’s something that has a much longer history than Aldous Huxley—it’s the Daoist idea of “Wu Wei (无为).” It is to walk the path that opens up and push the door that gives. Call it fate, divine (神圣的) calling, or whatever, but Wu Wei is to stop doing what you think is right, and to let yourself be pulled by some other power. Wu Wei is the grass bending in the wind. It’s the stick riding down the river.
There are many moments in life when trying harder makes things worse. When you have a mosquito bite, a broken bone, or a nosebleed, you leave it be. Picking and tapping only worsen the problem. So, too, with a lot of life’s major moments.
32．Why is the example of the failure to falling asleep mentioned in the text
A．To show how common sleep loss is.
B．To introduce the Law of Reversed Effort.
C．To recommend effective ways to get to sleep.
D．To prove the impossibility of willing ourselves to sleep.
33．What might help us learn riding a bike according to Paragraph 3
A．Making reversed effort. B．Trying our best to practice.
C．Riding in a relaxed manner. D．Remembering to follow instructions.
34．Which might be an example of “Wu Wei” according to the text
A．Ignore a mosquito bite. B．Sail against a strong wind.
C．Will yourself to sleep when suffering sleep loss. D．Remind yourself of instructions when riding a bike.
35．Where might the text come from
A．A storybook. B．A game book.
C．A magazine on healthy life. D．A brochure of Chinese history.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Recently, a topic featuring “Graduates avoid sending resumes (简历) out of social anxiety disorder” received many comments on Sina Weibo. It seems that social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia (恐惧症), is affecting many people’s lives. Over 80% of university students who took part in a survey tended to avoid social interaction due to an assumed social phobia. 36
For those who have a social phobia, everyday social situations cause strong fear beyond their control because they fear being watched or judged negatively by others.
Having a social phobia can mean physical symptoms like blushing (脸红), upset stomach, or having trouble catching your breath. The good news is that it is treatable. 37 Avoiding social situations because of shyness might mean missing out on opportunities or being rude.
I used to be so shy that I avoided greeting people I knew by pretending to scroll (滚屏) on my phone or turning in another direction. 38 When I saw him, I started scrolling on my phone as usual to avoid greeting him. But he immediately saw through it and asked, “Why did you pretend not to see me ” After my explanation, he replied, “I can relate to feeling awkward, but once someone realizes that you’re avoiding him, it can come across as rude.”
39 Being afraid of negative comments, they simply shut themselves down so that no one will have the chance to judge them. But socializing not only leads to judgment. If you’re lucky enough, you may come across someone who gives direct but honest feedback, like what the senior journalist did for me. But if some people only offer you negative judgment, simply stay away from them. 40 Why give up on opportunities for social interaction because of fears of comments and judgment
A．After all, they are not making you any better.
B．Understand it’s perfectly fine to make mistakes
C．Here are some tips for overcoming a fear of social interaction.
D．But is avoiding social interaction equal to having a social phobia
E．However, my attitude began to change when I met a senior journalist.
F．But if you only feel a bit uncomfortable, it might mean you are just shy.
G．Shy people avoid socializing because they take others’ opinions seriously

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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this otherwise-perfect picture: my conscience was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With mixed feeling, I finally picked up the phone. ________________________________________________

I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. _____________________

More communication. fewer conflicts
Communication plays a significant role in our daily life, and many conflicts arise from lack of communication.
Fortunately, effective communication can be achieved with the following methods. First of all, we’d better speak slowly and precisely to make ourselves better understood. Besides, concentrate on what the speaker says and put ourselves in the other’s shoes. Moreover, it is essential to give positive feedback by nodding or showing our empathy.
With a bit of practice and patience, all of us can become better communicators. (84 words)

One possible version:
With mixed feeling, I finally picked up the phone. My heart pounding fiercely and my palms sweating, an inner voice told me that I had to do this. After what seemed like ages, a woman answered the phone. I told her that I probably found the dog which she lost. She was surprised and excited, telling me what her dog looked like in a trembling voice. From her description, I was sure it was Molly. I told her my address so that she could come to take Molly home. Then I informed my husband and my kids of it, which made them very surprised. The next day, a woman knocked on the door.
I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. Molly licked her hands and face, just like what it always did to my girls. Tears streaming down the woman’s cheek, she murmured repeatedly how she missed Molly. At that moment, I was deeply touched and my conscience was not bothering me. The woman expressed her gratitude to me and promised she would take Molly to my home every week, letting it play with my daughters. Hearing this, my girls’ eyes twinkled with joy, which was quite to my relief. Finally, not only did we return Molly to its owner, but also we made a new friend and kept in touch with each other continually.
