Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a peculiar assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who was then her undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize three poems from The Norton Anthology of American Literature not for any urgent academic reason but to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude, claiming that you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.
The act of memorizing a poem seemed curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. I mostly devoted myself to prose (散文). It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem, sometimes going through, sometimes repeating over and over. At the end of my flight, I had all 40 lines in my head. Memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you keep trying, the lines finally come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before.
In other words, poetry perpetuates itself by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are.
Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep thumping (重击) in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.
24. What did professor Robert assign his students to do
A. Appreciate literature works.
B. Write poems to avoid future solitude.
C. Recite poems for potential loneliness.
D. Memorize poems for academic reasons.
25. Why does the author say memorizing a poem begins as a crime
A. Repetition makes poems boring. B. It’s a way to kill time on the plane.
C. The author preferred prose to poetry. D. People hardly encountered poetry then.
26. What does the underlined word perpetuates in paragraph 3 mean
A. Make something famous. B. Keep something alive.
C. Make something beautiful. D. Keep something special.
27. How does the author understand memorizing poetry
A. It makes our life better. B. It leads to the pursuit of dream.
C. It expands our life properly. D. It enriches our memory definitely.
C
Payne, who rose to fame at just 16 as a band member in Britain in 2010, faced huge pressure from a young age, which impacted his mental health. In an attempt to handle the stresses of his early stardom, he turned to alcohol and drugs, and finally ended his own life. The tragedy of Payne’s death has sparked a wider debate within the music industry about the responsibilities that come with launching young stars into the spotlight.
In an interview with The Observer, British songwriter Guy Chambers suggested that under-18s should be banned from becoming pop stars. He pointed out many young stars were pushed into intense schedules, often performing up to 200 dates yearly in different places. “They’re always busy. These teens start relying on sleeping pills and stimulants (兴奋剂) to keep them up for the shows,” Chambers said.
Research has shown that young artists came easily down with mental issues. A 2021 study revealed that 80 percent of musicians between the ages of 18 and 25 struggled with anxiety and depression, according to the BBC.
While preventing under-18s from entering the music industry is one possible preventative measure, could Chambers’ idea work in practice Chris Herbert, a former pop music manager, believes that enforcing a minimum age would be difficult to carry out. “The entertainment industry has a very long history of delivering successful stars of all ages, and there will always be a market that wants young artists,” Herbert told the BBC.
However, Herbert has called for a change in the way the industry operates. Instead of banning young artists, he advocates for providing them with the right education and support, including trained chaperones (陪护人), counselors, sociable working hours, meal breaks and regular rest.
28. What contributed to Payne’s struggles in the music industry
A. Negative media coverage. B. Competition among peers.
C. The responsibilities on stars. D. The pressure of early fame.
29. Why does Guy Chambers suggest an age ban on young stars
A. Their work affects their health. B. They manage their schedules poorly.
C. They lack necessary support systems. D. Their performances are far from good.
30. What’s Chris Herbert attitude to Chambers’ proposal
A. Objective. B. Approved. C. Opposed. D. Indifferent.
31. Which of the following may be a solution for young artists according to the passage
A. Improving their professional skills. B. Limiting their access to social media.
C. Promoting public awareness of the issue. D. Offering better mental health-related support.
D
While interacting with others, we convey content with our words, primarily, and intent (意图) with our body language. And we humans care about intent even more than content because intent can either reinforce or destroy content.
One of the most debated areas of intent is finding whether or not someone is lying. An enormous amount of human effort has gone into increasing our ability to detect liars. The FBI and the CIA have studied the problem extensively. The great American psychologist Paul Ekman devoted much of his research to it, and any number of training programs to increase our accuracy in detecting lies. What has been the outcome Lying studies determined that humans, after all the effort, are only about 54 percent accurate in detecting liars. That’s only slightly better than random guessing or coin-flipping.
The researchers tested experiment participants who watched videos where some speakers were lying and some were telling the truth. The participant caught the liars only 43 percent of the time and picked the truth-tellers only 48 percent of the time. That’s worse than flipping a coin! Then, the researchers tested the unconscious readings (潜意识反应) of the volunteers by measuring their response. They did much better.
Here’s a quick way to improve your lie detection right away. First of all, don’t look for specific “tells”. Look at the whole face and body, going soft focus, and ask yourself: sincere or insincere Then, let your unconscious go to work.
You may judge whether the whole picture adds up to a consistent expression or reveals some inner tension. For example, is the mouth set in a smile, but the eyes are cold Insincere. Just one principle. Ask yourself: Is this person sincere or insincere And then take in the whole person. You’ll be able to tell most of the time.
32. Why does the author mention many studies in paragraph 2
A. To give evidence of the finding.
B. To illustrate the difficulty of detecting lies.
C. To reveal scientists’ efforts to tackle problems.
D. To highlight the importance of random guessing.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The cause of the experiment.
B. The process of the experiment.
C. The innovation of the experiment.
D. The participants of the experiment.
34. What method is offered to detect lies
A. Analyzing each gesture individually.
B. Looking for detailed clues on purpose.
C. Focusing on the specific content of the speech.
D. Combining unconscious with general impression.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Content or intent B. What should we do with lies
C Sincere or insincere D. How good are we at detecting liars

When Mat was just 12 years old, his world was turned upside down after a terrible cycling accident left him with severe injuries. For two long years, he struggled with the physical and emotional pain, dreaming of the day he could walk again. Determined to make this dream a reality, Mat embarked on a journey to raise money for an operation that could give him back his mobility.
Mat’s efforts were tireless and innovative. He organized community events, set up an online donation page, and shared his story with local media outlets. Each contribution, no matter how small, brought him closer to his goal. And finally, the day arrived when he had accumulated the required sum, and the operation was scheduled. The anticipation of regaining his ability to walk filled Mat with excitement. He envisioned himself playing with friends, sprinting across playgrounds, and even competing in races, perhaps even securing a spot on the winner’s podium after his recovery.
Just a week before the long-awaited surgery, Mat came across a heart-wrenching story in the newspaper. It was about a five-year-old boy named Jamie, who had spent his entire life relying on a walking frame to move around, and his parents were tirelessly raising funds for an operation that could help their son walk independently.
Reading Jamie’s story, Mat felt an instant connection with the little boy, knowing all too well the challenges of not being able to walk. He was moved by Jamie’s determination and the love of his parents. Jamie’s story keeping ringing in Mat’s mind, he lost in thought.

【66题答案】
【答案】Recently, there is a growing trend that many students turn to AI when they write a composition. In my opinion, while AI is a beneficial tool, it is not wise of us to rely on it too much.
On one hand, AI can help us generate ideas and correct grammar mistakes, which provide convenience and improve efficiency. On the other hand, over-reliance on AI may hinder our ability to think independently and creatively. Writing is not just about putting words together; it’s about expressing our thoughts and emotions.
Therefore, I suggest AI should be used as a tool to assist us, rather than replace us. What’s more, we should focus on practicing our writing skills and cultivating our own unique writing style. Only in this way, can we truly improve our academic performance and personal growth.

【67题答案】
【答案】Para. 1: After a day’s thinking, Mat made the big decision, and contacted the newspaper. Mat explained his situation to the newspaper staff and expressed his desire to donate the funds he had raised to Jamie’s operation. He knew it was a tough choice, but he believed that Jamie’s need was even more urgent, given his young age and the lifelong impact the operation could have on him. The staff were touched by Mat’s selflessness and agreed to help facilitate the transfer of funds. Mat’s parents, though initially shocked, supported his decision, seeing the compassion and courage in their son’s eyes.
Para. 2: Jamie’s operation was a great success. After his recovery, Jamie’s family couldn’t wait to express their gratitude personally. In a touching moment, Jamie, now able to walk independently, visited Mat with his parents, bringing tears of joy to both families. They hugged warmly, sharing the indescribable happiness of overcoming adversity together. The newspaper covered this touching story. Mat’s kindness had created a ripple effect, inspiring more donation to this great “hero”. Onegood turn deserves another. This time, Mat finally had enough funds to have his operation. Both the two determined boys realized their dreams.
