Dear John,
With the purpose of inviting you to see Beijing Opera with me next week, I came to your apartment this morning, only to find that you were out.Since you have shown a keen interest in Chinese culture since the first day to China, I do believe this is a good chance for you to gain insight into it.
Regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China, Beijing Opera is more than just music and singing; it also combines drama, dancing, and martial arts, which makes it one of the most varied art forms in the world. The performers in fascinating costumes perform well-known stories in history to audience. I can tell you more about it when we meet.
Please let me know when you will be available and I will buy the tickets in advance. I sincerely hope that you can accept my invitation and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.Yours,Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
To her surprise, the campaign received much more than the target amount. Within a week, she raised enough money to provide Internet access for all of her students for the rest of the school year. She was overjoyed and grateful, and so were her students. They were able to restart their online classes and see Jessie again. They thanked Mrs. Levinson and their generous neighbors for making their holiday season brighter.
Paragraph 2:
As the story spread throughout the community, more and more people were touched by Mrs. Levinson’s kindness and generosity. They wanted to show their appreciation and support for her and her students. Some of them sent her thank-you cards and messages, some of them donated more money and resources, and some of them even offered to volunteer as tutors for the kids. Mrs. Levinson was amazed by the outpouring of love and goodwill from the community. She felt that she had not only helped her students, but also inspired others to help as well.

Winter in Quebec is a bit long, usually lasting about six months. In winter you can see snow everywhere, and the whole world turns white.
M: I can imagine that. Now please tell me something about the people there.
W: The people in the city are mostly French-Canadians, and about 95% of them only speak French. They enjoy a better life and live longer than most people in other parts of the world.

W: Yes, but not very often. I was born in New York, and was also brought up there, so I think it’s the best place to live and work.

As a student growing up in Pakistan, Riffat Arif, now known to all as Sister Zeph, dreamed of a teacher who gives respect and love to children with no difference. She would be that teacher. So, in 1997, at the age of just 13, she founded a school in the courtyard of her home, free to all. Children were to be treated with love and respect; beatings were not allowed.
Her parents were not in a position to help her. So at 13, she learned to do embroidery (刺绣). That was the first income she started generating to support her cause. She would work 8 hours a day, teach her students 4 hours and teach herself 4 hours. She never went back to any institution. She would prepare for exams, take her exam fee to the institution and get a degree. That’s how she got two master’s degrees, in political science and history.
She would take the little children in her lap and she would teach them that way. When a teacher shows such affection to the children, they feel protected, they feel like they are not far from home, they are just with another mother. She wanted teachers to be like that. She wanted children to be pampered and have a good childhood. They are like rose petals (花瓣), and we should treat them like that.
And now, selected from over 7,000 nominations from 130 countries, Sister Zeph has been awarded the largest annual global prize for teachers, the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2023,S1 million. “Her contribution to education has touched countless lives and earned her numerous awards, recognizing her as a true change-maker and advocate for women’s rights and children’s education around the world,” said the official citation.
Love is the language that everybody can understand. Love is the language that has no boundaries for religion or financial background. Love is everywhere and everyone needs love.
24. Why did Sister Zeph set up a school in her hometown
A. To live her dream. B. To meet her parents’ wishes.
C. To raise money for her exam fee. D. To gain support from an organization.
25. What does the underlined word “pampered” in Para 3 mean
A. Let go of. B. Taken control of.
C. Treated differently. D. Looked after kindly.
26. What do you think of Sister Zeph
A. Emotional and creative. B. Considerate and determined.
C. Carefree and independent. D. Open-minded and humorous.
27. What may the author convey according to the passage
A. Love is universal and vital. B. Hard work pays off in no time.
C. Education is tough and demanding. D. A small change makes a big difference.
C
“Is the glass half empty or half full ” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success.
However, is this necessarily a good thing Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems.
Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you.
So my simple advice to you is to do what gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill.
28. Why does the writer mention the glass at the beginning of the text
A. To give some evidence. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present an argument. D. To explain his ideas.
29. What is the writer’s attitude to the person who remains positive across all situations
A. Negative. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
30. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The cause of overly positivity.
B. The prevention of overly positivity.
C. The bad effect of overly positivity on others.
D. The bad impacts of overly positivity on personal emotion.
31. Which of the following may the writer agree with
A. Positivity is the key to success.
B. We needn’t stay positive all the time.
C. There isn’t such a thing as overly positive.
D. Positivity always does a harm effect to our lives.
D
From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we’re all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause.
But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.
According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao — the plant from which chocolate is produced — may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator (赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It’s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there.
The problem doesn’t lie in increased heat, however, but in lower humidity (湿度), as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.
“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it’s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (水分) loss,” Michon Scott, the essay’s author, wrote.
To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, US company Mars, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion to help reduce the effects of climate change.
“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we’re unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
32. What could make it hard for cacao to grow around the equator in the future
A. the higher temperatures there B. the higher humidity there
C. the increase in rainfall there D. the moisture loss in the soil there
33. What did Barry Parkin suggest
A. thousand-mile journey begins with the first step.
B. Always prepare for a rainy day.
C. United we stand; divided we fall.
D. Wish for the best; prepare for the worst.
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. UC Berkeley is trying to find a substitute for cacao.
B. Cacao can only be found in most African countries.
C. Climate changes can be controlled if we are lucky.
D. Mars will financially support the fight against climate changes.
35. What may be the best title of this text
A. Chocolate could become history C. How do we grow cacao in the future
B. Work together to fight climate change D. The history of chocolate.

Many a time when you are absorbed in the plots of TV series, you may wonder in your mind what if your story is put on the screen. The biggest challenge to overcome lies in how to deliver your story. 36
Know your audience.
37 Similarly, your friends might find a story about your work boring. Keep your audience in mind and tell them a story that appeals to their interest. With people you know well, some jokes might be all right. With people you don’t know well, keep your stories as least likely to embarrass someone as possible.
38
While you may practice delivering your story for many times, try not to deliver your story as if you were reading off the paper like a robot. Be cautious of the way you speak, make your delivery seem authentic and add some personal touches to it. Instead of trying to be perfect, give yourself some room to improvise (即兴创作).
Make your story more engaging.
When you speak as a certain character in your story, use a different voice to make it clear that the very character is speaking instead of another. As your story develops, make changes to your voice so that the audience can get engaged. 39 At serious points, slow your delivery to put your listeners on the edges of their seats.
Make comfortable eye contact.
Maintaining eye contact helps. 40 Look at someone for a few seconds, then make eye contact with the next person. Glancing between people or shifting your eyes too much can seem untrustworthy, while holding eye contact with one person for too long can make him or her uncomfortable.
A. Be mindful of your speech.
B. Below are some essential techniques.
C. Here are must-dos for TV producers.
D. Quicken your pace to describe action scenes.
E. However, you should find the delicate balance.
F. Practice your speech multiple times before delivering.
G. Amusing incidents of your friends deserve no spot at job interviews.

Frugality（节约） Is Back In Fashion
“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This is a piece of advice from Warren Buffet, a great financial mind of the 21st century. Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart, 56 (especial) in the present economic climate.
While the idea of being frugal (节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the case of purchasing 57 (lead) to increased consumerism for many across the country. Not only are businesses today offering 58 more diverse range of products, but Internet algorithms are also matching our shopping patterns to big data sets—both of which are meant 59 (persuade) people into buying more stuff than they need. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, 60 (force) people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money. It is no wonder that being thrifty is once again becoming a dominant trend 61 young people.
Despite the annoyances 62 (cause) by algorithms（算法）, the Internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money. 63 makes sense to prioritize goods and services which directly affect your health and well-being, while limiting those 64 are fancy, but not entirely necessary.
Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point that the resources on this planet are indeed limited. The choice to be frugal is not only good for one’s wallet, but also 65 (benefit) to the planet in the long run.

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。
At San Fernando Elementary School in Los Angeles, Mrs. Levinson always did something special for her students during the holiday season. This tradition started with Jessie the Elf, a festive doll that brought small gifts to brighten people’s lives amid hardships. Mrs. Levinson knew that many of her students came from low-income families, and some of them even experienced homelessness, hunger, or abuse. She wanted to give them a sense of joy and hope, and show them that someone cared for them. Every morning, the students would find Jessie in a different spot in the classroom, holding a new surprise for them. Sometimes it was a candy cane, sometimes it was a pencil, and sometimes it was a handwritten note of encouragement. The students loved Jessie and looked forward to seeing what she had for them each day.
However, an unexpected financial crisis severely impacted Mrs. Levinson’s own resources. Her husband lost his job, and they had to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. Should she continue buying gifts for the kids or pay her heavy mortgage (抵押贷款) After a brief inner conflict, she chose to sacrifice her own needs and continued the classroom tradition, hoping that the gifts would bring some joy and hope to the kids who had so little.
Yet, what happened afterwards made her choice even more challenging. Transitioning to online classes, she discovered a heartbreaking fact: many students couldn’t attend online classes due to the inability to afford household Internet. She felt helpless and frustrated, knowing that they were missing out on their education and their connection with their classmates and teachers. She also worried about their mental health and well-being.
Just as Mrs. Levinson felt sad, she had a good idea. She decided to launch a fundraising campaign (筹款活动) on the Nextdoor App, urging neighbors to help students by covering their Internet costs. She explained the situation and asked for donations of any amount.
