“Please help me find my purpose in life,” prayed 73-year-old Barbara, wiping her tears away as she sat at a bus stop on a rainy evening. “I don’t want to go to the grave with that hollowness in my heart.”
As she slowly closed her eyes to take a trip down memory lane, a sudden honk (喇叭声) awakened her. Shocked, she got up, clutching her walking stick and handbag. She approached the bus and boarded it.
“Oh dear!” shouted Barbara, disappointed and holding the grab rails (扶手) tightly. She looked around for an empty seat but found none.
As the helpless woman looked toward the farther corner of the bus, pretending she was alright and that her knees hadn’t been shaking, she saw a little boy wave at her, smiling.
Then the boy battled through the crowd and approached her. “Grandma, I’m David. Would you like to sit in my seat ” asked the boy. “Come, let me help you. Give me your bag,” he said and held her hand, taking her to his seat.
“Oh dear, thank you,” sighed Barbara as passengers split like a wave, leaving way for her to the seat. “Hello, I’m Kristen, David’s mother,” greeted the woman near her.
“Barbara! Nice to meet you! You have raised such a wonderful young man.” “It’s Okay. He was just doing his job!”
A few minutes later, Barbara found that Kristen sighed as tears slowly started to fill her eyes. Barbara was puzzled, and her motherly instinct (直觉) told her something was wrong.
“What is it, sweetheart Why are you crying ” she asked Kristen.
“David is the oldest of my five adopted children,” said Kristen. “And now, my youngest son, Kevin, is battling for his life, and I’m so scared,” sobbed Kristen.
“Oh dear, I’m so sorry to hear this. How may I help you ” she asked Kristen.
“I only want you to pray for my son. My stop has arrived. It was nice meeting you, Ms. Barbara,” Kristen expressed. She and David got off the bus, never looking back at the heartbroken Barbara who was lost in thought.
The next day, Kristen met Barbara at the hospital.
“Ms. Barbara !” cried Kristen. “What are you doing here Is everything alright ” Barbara handed her a suitcase stashed with money, estimated to be around $1 million.
24. Why was Barbara disappointed when she boarded the bus

Xinjiang is building Asia’s largest wind-solar integrated renewable energy project (风光一体化项目). Once it is connected to the grid (电网), it’s going to produce 5.8 billion kilowatts of clean energy every single year, which can power the entire community of Xinjiang for thirteen days. It’s also going to save around 1.73 million tons of standard coal annually and cut down carbon emissions by a massive 4.72 million tons, which equals planting nearly 4.5 million trees.
However, these steep mountains and the extreme weather conditions make it challenging to build the project here. The steepest slope of the project is over 30 degrees and machinery also struggles to access these areas. So the drone is being used to survey the terrain (地形) of the entire site, identifying areas with depressions or steep slopes. Then, a terrace method is being adopted to help construction, resembling a structure or stair treads. In addition, aluminum-magnesium-zinc-coated materials are also used, which are as tough as nails and can handle anything this crazy climate throws away. From corrosion (腐蚀) to earthquakes, this stuff is built to last. Photovoltaic panel (光伏板) material is also a new type which provides 5-8% more power generation capacity compared to ordinary ones.
In Xinjiang, you can also see some of the livestock grazing (吃草) under the panels, because the project has tried to take care of the local ecology. The solar panels are so tall that it remains a grazing area for animals, like sheep, cows, horses and even groundhogs. Those tall panels allow them to graze underneath freely while the project is being built.
Not only does the solar project help China reach its dual carbon goals, but it also seems like they’re taking measures to ensure that the local people and the local ecology are all taken care of.
28. What will the project bring us according to paragraph 1
A. It will lower electricity consumption by 4.72 million tons.
B. It will decrease the number of trees planted to 4.5 million.
C. It will provide the power for the whole China for thirteen days.
D. It will reduce the need for coal by 1.73 million tons every year.
29. What is being used to overcome the challenges of the steep mountains
A. Drones and a terrace method.
B. Machinery.
C. Aluminum-magnesium-zinc-coated materials.
D. Photovoltaic panels.
30. How does the project balance the local ecology and the construction
A. By moving the local wildlife to a different region.
B. By fencing off the construction area to protect the animals.
C. By using tall panels to enable animals to feed themselves freely.
D. By providing additional grazing areas away from the construction site.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The advance in photovoltaic panels.
B. The environmental benefits of the project.
C. The benefits and challenges of the project.
D. The economic impact of the project on the local.
D
A recent survey conducted by China Youth Daily shows that more than half of the interviewed young adults expressed a decline in their language and communication abilities over the past few years. A significant 47.1% reported feeling a lack of vocabulary and limited expression skills.
The survey highlighted cases like Li Sichao, a postgraduate student at a university in Nanjing, who struggles during presentations, especially during the question-and-answer sessions. Li mentioned instances where he had the right words on the tip of his tongue but found it challenging to articulate his thoughts logically, leaving him with a lack of confidence. Another individual, Liu Yuan, working in Hangzhou, shared his experience of relying on the Internet for assistance when forgetting how to write certain characters. Liu attributed the decrease in his language expression skills not only to communication challenges but also to difficulties in drafting written content for work.
What causes the wordless phenomenon The survey results pointed to factors such as not reading enough, weakened expressive abilities, excessive reliance on Internet language and emojis, lack of creativity, broken information browsing, and difficulties in forming systematic thinking. All these factors were identified by over half of the respondents. Liu Yuan pointed out that the Internet has transformed the way people speak and write, with input methods simplifying the output of text. This, he believes, has led to a decline in memorization.
The decline in language expression is seen by some experts as a real issue in the era of the Internet. Zheng Huanzhao, an associate professor from the University of Jinan’s Chinese department, believes that while Internet technology has brought convenience, it has also deeply influenced people’s ways of thinking, their values, and their methods of expression.
To address the issue, Zheng suggests starting by improving the online language environment. He emphasizes the need to enhance the quality of online content, especially in terms of language accuracy, richness and aesthetics. Additionally, he recommends guiding various Internet media outlets to standardize language expression, and take on the responsibility of cultural and aesthetic guidance. Young people should enrich their cultural knowledge, enhance cultural appreciation, and pay attention to text norms.
32. What is the finding of the survey conducted by China Youth Daily
A. The increasing reliance on technology among young adults.
B. The challenges faced by individuals during their presentations.
C. The lack of confidence in public speaking among postgraduate students.
D. The decrease in language and communication abilities among young adults.
33. What does the underlined word “articulate” in paragraph 2 mean
A. express B. understand C. obtain D. represent
34. What can we infer from the text
A. The reasons of the wordless phenomenon are various.
B. The wordless phenomenon has little to do with the Internet.
C. The wordless phenomenon refers to the lack of creativity in language use.
D. People are less likely to worry about wordless phenomenon if they get higher education.
35. Which solution does Zheng Huanzhao agree with to improve expression skills
A. Reducing the use of Internet language and emojis
B. Simplifying the output of text through input methods
C. Improving the online content quality and language expression standards.
D. Turning a deaf ear to the language expression standards and text norms

How to Ask Good Questions
Effective communication is vital for all relationships. Learning what questions to ask can improve how you work with team members, your leadership skills, and how you communicate with loved ones. 36
Be a good listener.
When someone gives you an answer or explains something to you, pay attention. If you don’t listen properly, you may find yourself asking already-answered questions. 37 When someone else is speaking, make eye contact and use body language such as nodding to show you understand.
Don’t be afraid of your questions.
38 Maybe it’s your first time doing a task, and you want to do it properly. Wrong questions don’t exist especially if you’ve never done this before. Think about it this way: If you don’t ask your question, you may make some easily avoidable mistakes.
39
A long question shows a lack of self-awareness. It can end up confusing someone more than it should. You may want to provide enough detail in your question, but not too much. The person you’re asking should only have to hear your question once, not three or four times. Focusing on asking open-ended questions in one sentence can still set up a good conversation.
Use the appropriate tone.
All questions have different purposes and meanings behind them. Some are serious, while others are light-hearted and fun. 40 Being flexible and adjusting your style is the key. Being overly formal in every situation can make people uncomfortable and inhibit (抑制) their willingness to share information. When you ask your next question, take note of the atmosphere in the room or the person you’re talking to.
A. Provide more details.
B. Keep your questions short
C. It’s better for us to figure out who we are talking to.
D. Here are some tips on how you can start asking better questions.
E. By focusing on listening, you are able to avoid such embarrassment.
F. It’s important to know when you should have a serious or casual tone.
G. If you’re confused about something, you have every right to ask for clarity

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。
My great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother are teachers, and so are all my family. My mother had a fixed idea that I would become a teacher, too. Although I respected her and was indeed skilled at teaching something to my little cousins, I didn’t agree that I should naturally follow in my mother’s footsteps.
When I was a teenager, my mother happened to take me to a hospital which was run by one of her friends. It was the first time I had seen a busy medical environment in real life in person. Finding that I was curious about treating patients, my mother’s friend Dr. Lee offered me an opportunity to shadow him (跟他实地参观) for a day. I eagerly accepted his offer! Observing the doctors and nurses in action, I felt a mix of anxiety and excitement. Seeing the healing (治愈) process and the impact of medical care on patients was a profoundly moving experience. I figured being a doctor would be the most rewarding career in the world. From that day, a thought formed in my mind that I wanted to become a doctor, but I doubted whether my mother would support me. After all, it was a completely different path from what she had planned for me. Therefore, I kept the thought to myself, because I knew she would still insist on holding onto her previous idea.
Anyway, besides discussing with my mother about teaching, I would often visit Dr. Lee’s hospital. Gradually, I got familiar with the medical equipment and procedures, and I learned a lot about healthcare, such as how to take vital signs (测生命体征), how to assist in minor surgeries, and so on. But what I had learned in the hospital just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional doctor.

Dear Paul,
Knowing that you are going to participate in the Chinese idiom story competition held by the
local Confucius Institute, I feel glad to help you prepare for it.
My suggestions are as follows. Firstly, as there are so many idioms to choose from, I
recommend the most commonly used ones. Additionally, many idioms have their roots in ancient
myths or historical facts. Thus, I advise you to fully study their meanings and origins to gain an
instructive insight into the cultural history of China. In this way, your storytelling will be highly
impressive and appealing.
I hope the suggestions above can be helpful to you. Could you please tell me when and how I
can help you Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
写作第二节
One possible version:
This time I would not hide my desire any more. Determined to follow my heart, I
explained to my mother how I felt. I told her that I wanted to go to college to learn to be a doctor
instead of being a teacher. After saying this, I waited nervously for her reaction. To my surprise,
she approved of my request, and she told me she was moved by my perseverance. With her
support and my efforts, I was admitted into my ideal college.
At the graduation ceremony, with my mother present, I, as “Excellent Graduate”, had
to deliver a speech. In my speech, I shared with the audience my story about how a teenager
realized her dream. Faced with difficulties, I took a path that led me to do something that needed
passion, training and practice. I also owed my success to my mother’s support. Without her
understanding, I couldn’t have pursued my dream. At the end of my speech, I spotted my mother’s
watery eyes, and said, “Mom, I made it!” Her face lit up with pride.

handwriting; not copied by a parent or typed on a computer.
Second, displays. Make a display about their parks using a poster. Posters may have pictures
and maps from the park. And they can be bought at any big supermarkets. Drawing and coloring
pictures are also acceptable! Please make sure that the name of the park is obvious.
Next, souvenirs. Your children will need at least 30 souvenirs to hand out. They can be
bookmarks with the park name on it, pictures of an animal from the park, a nature item that could
be found at the park... or anything else that you and your children think of that exists in the park.
OK, that’s all from me. If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to ask.
