All I had to do for the small sum of money was to take care of the old man in the neighborhood for a few hours every day. It was a peaceful task in a nice house filled with things that were rare in my own home.
Caring for him gave me a feeling of achievement. I could use part of the money to buy some books I longed for and also help my family with daily expenses. I wasn't like those children who had nothing to do but play. I had a role that made me feel important and grown-up. I received kind words and grateful looks from the old man and his family, which made me stand out from just being an ordinary child.
In those times, children were not just for fun; they were useful. They could assist the elderly, run errands, and do simple household repairs. But now, it seems children are mainly focused on studies and hobbies. They are pampered and have few real responsibilities.
Gradually, I became better at taking care of the old man. I learned how to cook simple meals for him and keep him company in a more engaging way. He started to give me some old but valuable collectibles as a reward. I was excited to have them as they were things I could never afford before.
Still, I sometimes felt a bit overworked. But I was reluctant to complain. I knew my parents would tell me to be grateful for the opportunity. One day, when I was talking to my grandfather, I let out my feelings. He then said, "Child, you are doing a good thing. But remember, you are not defined by this job. You have your own life and dreams. The work is just a part of your experience, not the whole of you."
Since then, I have engaged in various activities and tasks, some easy and some difficult. But I have always remembered my grandfather's words and never let any work overshadow my sense of self or my personal goals.
24. What mainly made the author feel a sense of achievement in taking care of the old man
A. The ability to afford personal hobbies. B. The respect from the old man and his family.
C. The opportunity to learn new skills. D. The praise from the neighbors.
25. Which of the following best describes the author's trait
A. Diligent and ambitious. B. Capable and self-aware.
C. Sensitive and obedient. D. Outgoing and helpful.
26. What did the author's grandfather make him/her understand
A. To focus on personal growth rather than just work.
B. To be more patient when dealing with difficulties.
C. To value the relationship with the elderly.
D. To be brave in asking for a better reward.
27. What is the main message the author wants to convey
A. The importance of family support in personal development.
B. The significance of early work experience for children.
C. Not to let work define one's identity and worth.
D. The value of helping the elderly in the community.
C
The human voice is a delicate thing. Each person’s distinctive voice is produced when air from the lungs causes the vocal cords (声带) to vibrate (震颤). These vocal cords can easily get damaged. According to a 2005 study, 30% of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life.
In a study published in the journal Nature Communications this week, a group of bioengineering researchers from the University of California have put forward an attractive solution. They have designed and tested a soft patch (小片) that can be stuck onto a person’s neck, where it will pick up muscle movements and, with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法) that process the signals, translate them into speech.
When a person loses their voice today, the easiest fix is to turn to typing, texting, or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and inconvenient, says Jun Chen, the paper’s lead author, and writing notes is only possible in good lighting. The new solution would theoretically be able to clear all these hurdles.
Dr. Chen’s device works based on something called the magnetoelastic effect. Essentially, when tiny magnetic (磁性的) bits are placed into soft materials, their magnetic properties can change as the material is stretched.
When the throat muscles move under the soft patch, the resulting magnetic-field variations can be changed into electrical signals. In a test with eight participants, the researchers recorded the signals as the subjects spoke and mouthed five different sentences. They then trained a machine-learning model which was then able to predict which of the five sentences the participants spoke---whether aloud or in silence---with more than 90% accuracy.
There is a way to go yet, for now the device can only recognize the five phrases it was trained on. Plus, to make it practical at scale, the researchers will need to collect a lot more data.
28. In paragraph 1, the author mainly wants to tell us that .
A. lungs are easily damaged B. the human voice is unique
C. vocal cords vibrate to produce sound D. voice disorders are a problem worthy of attention
29. Why does the author mention the magnetoelastic effect
A. To explain the working principle. B. To present a solution.
C. To introduce the challenge. D. To make a comparison.
30. What is the function of the soft patch
A. Predicting five different sentences.
B. Destroying the background magnetic field.
C. Slowing the movements of throat muscles.
D. Helping turn muscle movements into electrical signals.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Predicting the Importance of Voice Restoration
B. Using Algorithms in Bioengineering Research
C. Overcoming Voice Loss with an Innovative Patch
D. Finding the Principle of Communication Devices
D
In recent years, much of my life as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background spending. As I've subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms, significant sums of my money tend to drift away each month without my ever thinking about it.
Think of it as automated capitalism. Spending without the hassle of spending. Acquisition without action. Or thought.
But while this flood of subscriptions was sold to me on the condition that it would make my life more trouble-free, there was a certain shock I felt upon discovering how much i was spending without realizing each month ( $179.45).
You see, the thing about background spending is that it tends to happen, well, in the background without your full attention. And there lies the point.
"Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest," these companies assure us. But by agreeing to this trade, we've become lazy passive consumers. And this laziness breeds more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular reviews of our subscription spending. We’re too lazy to even notice or cancel！
I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smooth-brained subscriber. The average consumer spends $273 per month on subscription spending, according to a 2021study of 2500 by digital services firm West Monroe. Not a single person surveyed knew what his actual monthly spending was.
It’s understandable why this model is so attractive to businesses. As companies questioned traditional advertising models, subscriptions offered the promise of “selling once and earning forever”. And while subscription services have been around for decades (think Wine of the Month Club), more customers have been willing to sign up thanks to the widespread availability of smartphones and the increasing ease of home delivery.
While these subscriptions promise ease and happiness, not all of us are satisfied. Last year, the Kearney Consumer Institute found 40 percent of consumers believe they have too many subscriptions. Almost half of us also think we pay too much for streaming video-on-demand subscriptions.
32. What can we know about background spending in Paragraph 2
A. Its purpose. B. It feature. C. Its procedure. D. Its requirement.
33. What makes it possible for background spending to happen
A. Its attractive price. B. Some people’s poor habit.
C. Its secure service. D. Some People’s addiction to it.
34. Why is the subscription model appealing to businesses
A. It offers good home delivery services. B. It is like traditional advertsing models.
C. It is popular among smartphone producers. D. It brings repeated profits through a single sale.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards background spending
A. Supportive B. Optimistic. C. Critical D. Unclear

Sometimes it seems that we can’t feel any joy in life. We all have such bad days. However, an inability to feel joy is not the norm and requires attention. 36 Luckily, there are steps we can take to generate joy.
37 Learning to recognize emotions that inhibit (抑制) our ability to access joy. This can help us gain access to our positive core emotions. For example, when we feel anxious, slow down, breathe and name the emotion. Once the body feels calm, we get curious about the emotion’s meaning. We may ask, “What is this emotion protecting me from ” and “If you move this emotion aside, what’s underneath ”
Pay someone a compliment (称赞). 38 So witnessing someone else’s happiness can make us smile, plimenting a friend or co-worker can help. Saying “It’s nice to see you today” goes a long way. They may smile or show appreciation for your kind words. Witnessing their joy and happiness will lift your spirits.
Enjoy small moments of pleasure. Imagine you’re a joy detective and try to identify one positive interaction that you’ve experienced recently. 39 When you notice a positive feeling, try to stay with the moment. In the long run, it will lengthen our experience of positive emotions.
Smile, even when you don’t feel like it. When we’re feeling down, smiling may be the last thing on our mind. However, turning up the corners of your mouth can lower stress and boost your mood. It is a good way to watch a funny movie. Notice what happens when you laugh or smile. 40
A. Get out of a bad mood.
B. Watch out for joy blockers.
C. Emotions tend to spread rapidly among people.
D. This may remind you of a past pleasant experience.
E. Perhaps it was a warm conversation or dinner with a friend.
F. Chances are that you’ll experience a wave of joy, even for a moment.
G. Joylessness can affect our mental health, relationship and well-being.

Sichuan Cuisine and Hunan Cuisine are both known for their hot flavors, which might appear similar at first sight. That’s why Americans are pretty confused about how they are different. This confusion has its roots in how Hunan food 56 (introduce) to the American public. According to Kian Lam Kho, the author of Chinese food blog Red Cook, a group of Chinese chefs are said 57 (train) in both Hunan and Sichuan Cuisines in 1945. When they later 58 (seek) opportunities in the United States, they brought Hunan and Sichuan Cuisines to New York, 59 these two cooking styles were adjusted to suit local tastes.
As Kho puts 60 , these two cuisines offer different flavors. Sichuan Cuisine is characterized by the use of Sichuan peppercorns (花椒粒), which provide 61 unique numbing feeling. Hunan Cuisine, on the other hand, is famous for its bold and burning flavors, which features the 62 (combine) of fresh chilies (辣椒) and garlic to create a powerful and intense spicy taste. 63 Sichuan Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine does not typically include the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns.
“It is amazing 64 distinct Hunan cooking is compared to its confusing Sichuan cousin. It is truly worthwhile to seek out restaurants or cookbooks that 65 (faith) capture Hunan flavors in their menus or recipes.” Kho notes.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
As the golden sun was sailing higher and higher in the east, casting its warm glow over the town, Emily, a keen photographer, started a solo journey to the famed Old Pine Scenic Area, well known for its centuries-old pine forests and winding paths. She anticipated a day filled with peaceful beauty and the opportunity to touch nature in its purest form.
Upon arrival, Emily was charmed by the quietness and splendidness of the overgrown pines that towered above, their branches whispering tales of old in the gentle morning breeze. With her camera in hand, she ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, each step further immersing her in the lively picture of greens and earthy browns.
The paths of Old Pine were many, weaving through the forest like threads of a vast, tangled (缠结的) web. Initially, Emily followed the marked trails, snapping photos of dew-kissed (带着露珠的) spider webs and squirrels dashing through the underbrush. However, as the morning turned into afternoon, she decided to stray from the beaten path to explore a more hidden area, rumored to house the eldest and most majestic pine in the reserve.
The deeper she wandered, the quieter the forest grew, except for the occasional rustle of leaves and distant birds. Focused intently on her photography, Emily scarcely noticed the shifting shadows and the subtle change in the forest. She then realized it was getting late but she had not yet found the eldest pine. And she had not only strayed off the path but was now thoroughly lost.
Panic fluttered in her chest. She attempted to backtrack, hoping to find familiar landmarks, but the forest seemed to have rearranged itself behind her. The trees stood pitiless, their trunks like silent guards that offered no guidance. With her phone’s signal frustratingly absent in the thick forest, Emily felt a surge of helplessness.

Hello, ever one. It is an honor to re resent our group in summarizing our discussion. Our group strongly supports the use of translation pens in English learning. We believe that this device offers several advantages that can significantly enhance the learning experience.
Firstly, translation pens are incredibly portable and convenient to use. They can be carried anywhere, allowing learners to access translations instantly. Secondly, by offering immediate feedback, translation pens can improve learning efficiency, which is particularly beneficial to beginners. Additionally, they can also be of great help in practicing reading and writing skills by providing real-time translation support.
In conclusion, when used as a supplementary tool to support, rather than replace active language practice, with the portability and real-time translation capabilities, translation pens are a valuable tool for English learners.
读后续写
A possible version:
Emily remembered reading about the importance of staying calm when lost. She found a relatively clear spot and decided to wait, hoping that a ranger who took care of forest or another hiker might pass by. To keep calm, she resumed taking photos, capturing the stunning beauty of the fog-wrapped forest, each shot a stark contrast to the morning’s vibrant frames. As hours passed, the sound of footsteps crunching on dry leaves alerted Emily to the presence of another. A wave of relief washed over her as an elderly man emerged from the mist, his face creased with a kind smile beneath a wide-brimmed hat. “I thought I might find someone out here,” he said in a gentle voice, noticing Emily’s camera. “You must be here for Old Pine’s eldest.”
Nodding eagerly, Emily explained her situation to the local man. The man, who introduced himself as a local historian and knew the forest like the back of his hand. With a comforting assurance, he offered to lead her back to the main trail and then to the ancient pine she had sought. As they walked, the old man shared stories of the forest’s history and its significance to the local community. The forest, he explained, was not just a collection of trees but a living memory of the town’s heritage. Finally, they arrived at the grand old pine. Its vast trunk and overgrown branches were indeed a sight to behold, majestic and enduring. Emily captured the tree in her lens, a permanent reminder of her adventure and the lessons learned. She thanked the old man earnestly, her heart full of gratitude for the unexpected friendship and the invaluable lesson in humility and respect for nature.

The weather in London changes all the time. You can experience the four seasons all in one week! Winter in London is my favorite time of the year. There are lots of Christmas trees and beautiful lights everywhere. Moreover, there are also many fairs then. Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is one of the most popular ones m London, which is appealing to me. (20) Anyway, after a day of walking around and explonng, we decided to eat out in a Chinese restaurant. London is multicultural, with cuisines from all over the world. I hope you enjoy following me around London. Please comment below and let me know what your favorite part is. Thanks again for watching today. Bye!
