Zou Bin, 28, a building worker from Xinhua, Hunan province, was the first Chinese to be awarded first prize for his splendid bricklaying technique at the World Skills Competition in 2015.
Zou’s story of construction began in his early childhood when he played at a construction site where his parents made a living, reported CCTV. As he grew older, he assisted them with their work. “At first, I was just helping them move the bricks and mix mortar (砂浆). Later on, I started learning the skill,” Zou told China Daily.
From the moment he became a building worker, Zou set strict standards for himself to build every wall perfectly, brick by brick. According to Zou, the more walls workers build, the more money they will get. “But if I’m not satisfied with my work, I would push it over and redo it. My fellow workers would rag me that no matter how well I do, I wouldn’t get extra pay for that. But I wanted to set the bar high for myself,” said the 28-year-old to China Daily. This working philosophy is surely part of the factors that contributed to his present glory.
When preparing for the competition, he not only practiced for over ten hours during the day, but also learned to read different diagrams at night, determining to build the best wall with all he can. Even if his hands were full of blisters(水泡), he didn’t stop. Finally he got on the stage and won a medal at his first show, reported China Daily.
Although he was crowned as a world champion, Zou is quite humble in life. Calling himself an ordinary migrant worker, he said there are many more outstanding craftsmen out there. Zou is only one representative of the tens of thousands of construction workers who pursue excellence in their work.
24．What do we know about Zou
A．He learned building skills from his parents. B．He was forced to work at a young age.
C．His parents encouraged him to be a bricklayer. D．He won a medal at an international competition.
25．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Zou’s career plan. B．Zou’s attitude toward his job.
C．Zou’s colleague’s opinions of him. D．Zou’s effort toward the competition.
26．What does the underlined word “rag” mean
A．Apologize to B．Laugh at.
C．Show gratitude to. D．Look down on.
27．Which of the following best describes Zou
A．Creative and strict. B．Hardworking and humorous.
C．Determined and modest. D．Social and ambitious.
C
“Hey, lady! You can move your ugly car up now!” The silver-haired driver behind me in a fancy truck rudely yelled at me. Without much thought, I yelled back at the man, “What Are you in a rush or something ”
I was waiting in line at the drive-through to order our breakfast on a Sunday morning. There were only 12 inches or so between me and the car in front of me. There were also three additional cars in front of that one. We were getting nowhere fast. What was he hoping to gain by yelling at me
I wanted to let my own anger go after this ridiculous exchange. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was angry that he yelled at a mother in front of two kids. My daughter and my son were both confused and saddened by what they had just witnessed. We were on our way to a soccer tournament, and we had a bonus day free from school and work. Probably, there was nothing in the world to be upset about. Then this man let his anger out.
I told my kids I was so mad that I had to roll my window up so that I wouldn’t keep yelling at this guy. Then, I stopped and looked back. I had moved up the 12 or so inches at his “suggestion”, while he hadn’t moved an inch. Suddenly, I felt sympathy for him. He must have been suffering in some way. As my kids and I slowly made our way to the pick-up window to pay for our order, I had an idea.
“I heard how rude that man was to you, and I wanted to apologize to you for having to put up with that. He isn’t worth paying for,” the cashier said to me. “My kids support me in doing that,” I answered the cashier, adding that hate cannot drive out hate.
28．Why was the driver angry with the author
A．Her car cut in. B．She screamed at him.
C．She held up his truck. D．Her car stopped suddenly.
29．What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 3
A．What her kids’ reaction was. B．Why her anger kept growing.
C．How she calmed herself down. D．Why she ordered the breakfast.
30．What was the author’s final decision
A．She taught her kids a lesson. B．She apologized to the driver.
C．She paid for the driver’s food. D．She gave the cashier some advice.
31．What does the author intend to convey in the text
A．Respond to hate with kindness. B．Deal with a man as he deals with you.
C．Put distance between your car and another. D．Never go to the drive-through at rush hours.
D
You’ve probably experienced this before: when returning from a round trip, the trip home felt shorter. What is the scientific basis for this
Some theories include the power of expectation. Especially for vacations, the anticipation of finally reaching your destination can make the experience of traveling there feel longer because you can’t wait to get there. Additionally, if the trip to the location takes longer than expected, we may readjust our expectations of the length of the trip so that the trip back feels shorter and thus more pleasant.
Another theory is how humans take time to learn and become more familiar with new sights. When faced with new stimuli(刺激) or experiences, we feel as if time is getting slower to allow more brain processing time. This contributes to why elder people often remark that time goes faster the more they age because being older often means fewer new experiences, so there is less need for the brain to interpret time more slowly to pay more attention to solving a problem.
In the case of the “return trip effect,” after viewing the landmarks on the road while getting to the destination, it is easier to recognize these points on the way back. Having less sense of puzzle and being more certain of one’s surroundings can make time feel faster. This is similar to how many activities can feel natural after learning the process. For example, when you first learn to ride a bike, you carefully strategize your speed and balance, but after a while of practicing, your mind is freer to wander off.
This “return trip effect” is most notably noticed after reflecting on how long a trip to an unfamiliar location took. This explains why the “return trip effect” is usually associated with vacations and not daily commutes to work or school because by then, the sights are so familiar that humans can more accurately measure the time spent going to and back from a location.
32．Why do elder people feel time flies
A．They have fewer new stimuli to process. B．They have low expectations for the future.
C．Their problem-solving ability declines. D．Their brain tends to misinterpret time.
33．What does the example of learning to ride a bike in paragraph 4 prove
A．Practice makes perfect. B．Familiarity speeds up time.
C．The journey of life is full of uncertainties. D．Similar landmarks cause confusion with time.
34．Which trip may feel the longest
A．The trip to school. B．The trip to a strange place.
C．The trip home from school. D．The trip home from a strange place.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．How can we make a long trip relatively short B．What is the scientific basis for time travel
C．How long can the “return trip effect” last D．Why does the “return trip effect” occur

When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. 36
I met Forest Therapy(治疗) guide Melanic Choukas-Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. 37 We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.
The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. 38 As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. 39 A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.
40 Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.
A．It’s not a hike, either.
B．It turns out that my interpretation was literal.
C．The benefits of nature can be accessed simply.
D．Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements.
E．The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new.
F．Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits.
G．We took in the peaceful surroundings by using all our senses.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
How can you better understand body language to feel more confident and be more effective in a range of situations If you are struggling to understand how to interpret body language of colleagues in different cultural contexts and how to respond, you may find yourself 56 (search) for a checklist of dos and don’ts. But this isn’t necessarily the 57 (great) approach. Besides, you can start your interpretation 58 analysing groups, rather than looking at each gesture in isolation.
For example, imagine that you are presenting an idea for a new process in a meeting, and your boss is smiling. Many experts would advise you that smiling is 59 (cultural) universal, so you might assume that your boss must be happy with your presentation. However, making this 60 (assume) without deeper investigation could prove problematic. If you take 61 second look at your boss, you might notice that she is also laughing slightly, looking down and moving her pen. This could mean a range of different things. How can you understand your boss’s reaction correctly The answer is to check that your analysis of their body language matches with 62 the person says and how they say it.
To understand the cultural influences 63 have led to her behaviour, it is first important to understand what cultural identity is. Many people use the terms “culture” and “nationality” interchangeably. However, generalizing 64 (base) only on nationality can be risky. To help avoid this, the British Council 65 (develop) a description of culture in the last few years.

第二节 书面表达（满分25分）
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。
The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first, he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor(走廊) when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the old lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Mary. Jane began banging on Mary’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around then, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pajamas (睡衣)—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” cried Tom. However, Jane refused to give up.
“I know Mary’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Mary’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”

Paragraph 1:
Version 1:
At the same time, Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher. The heat was intense, and the smoke was thickening, making it hard to breathe. Despite the danger, Jane didn’t give up. She continued to pound on Mary’s door, shouting, “Mary! Mary! Wake up!” Tom, feeling a mix of fear and admiration, stood beside her, urging her to leave. Finally, the door creaked open, and a dazed Mary appeared, coughing and full of confusion. Jane quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her out into the hallway. (75 words)
Version 2:
At the same time, Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher. It was hard to breathe when he encountered such intense heat and thickening smoke. However, Jane didn’t give in to the danger. Instead, she continuously pounded on Mary’s door to warn Marry off. As for Tom, due to a mix of fear and admiration, he urged Jane to leave repeatedly. Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a dazed Mary appeared, coughing and full of confusion. Jane quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her out into the hallway. It was right then that the situation was more critical. (87 words)
Paragraph 2:
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. Noticing Mary weak and struggling, some of them offered support to her. Meanwhile, Jane and Tom were given wet towels to cover their noses and mouths. Together, they guided Mary, Jane, and Tom through the smoke-filled corridor to the stairway. The sound of alarm grew louder as firefighters arrived, and the crowd outside cheered as they emerged safely. Mary, tears streaming down her face, hugged Jane tightly. “Thank you, Jane,” she whispered, her voice trembling with gratitude. The incident not only showcased Jane’s courage but also strengthened the bond within the community. (92 words)
【故事梗概】本文以火灾发生到救援为线索展开，讲述了在一个普通的早晨，十岁的汤姆和他姐姐简像往常一样在家度过，汤姆在写作业，而简在拉小提琴，然而，一场突如其来的火灾打破了这份宁静。面对危机，简展现出了超乎寻常的勇气和智慧，勇敢救出了年迈的邻居玛丽的故事。
【详解】
1．段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“与此同时，汤姆注意到火焰越来越高。”可知，第一段可描写面对紧急情况，简是怎么做的以及最后成功救出玛丽。（在这里学生可能会根据第二段提示句，猜出简没有救出玛丽，陷入了一种困境，这样写也行，但第二段最终结局一定是得写救出来。）
②由第二段首句内容“幸运的是，一些路过的邻居停下来提供帮助。”可知，第二段可描写邻居们都做了些什么，以及这件事情带来的影响。
2．续写线索：火势凶猛——没有放弃——救出玛丽——邻居帮忙——消防到来——扑灭大火——感悟
