Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety.
He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter.
In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.”
Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined.
Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.”
24. What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall
A. The dream of being a hero. B. The influence of his friends.
C. Poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from the villagers.
25. What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Recognized. B. Finished.
C. Managed. D. Developed.
26. Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian
A. Careful and confident. B. Kind-hearted and humorous.
C. Creative and curious. D. Responsible and strong-willed.
27. What does the text mainly talk about
A. A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B. Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall.
C. The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D. A practical Great Wall protection program.

Danelien van Aalst at the University of Groningen and her co-workers have done research on how relative age (相对年龄) affects popularity among 14 to 15-year-olds.
Researchers surveyed more than 13,000 teenagers in England, Sweden and the Netherlands on who they thought was the most popular in their class. Then the researchers gave each student in the classroom a popularity score linked to their birth month as well as their age position in their class. They discovered this: the older the student was, the more likely they were to be considered popular.
“A child enters school before or after a certain cut-off date and that determines how old or young you are relative to your year group,” says van Aalst. “We found that if you’re born right after the cut-off date, which makes you one of the oldest members of your class, you’re going to be popular.”
They found that the same effect also applied at the year-group level. Here, it was the children who were the oldest relative to all of their peers in the year group—rather than just those in their own class—that were the most popular.
All three countries showed roughly the same pattern (模式). However, at the classroom level, it was in the Netherlands that the pattern was the strongest. This is partly because the country has a system of grade retention—when students don’t meet their academic requirements, their teachers will hold them back a year, which means they then become the oldest in their class and often the most popular.
This relative age effect has also been shown in other areas. “Relative age has earlier been proved to affect school performance—relatively older children do better in school,” says Herman van de Werfhorst at the University of Amsterdam. Similarly, previous research has shown that older children tend to be better at sports than younger students in the same year group.
28. How did the researchers know who the popular students were
A. By recording students’ performance.
B. By studying earlier research results.
C. By collecting answers from students.
D. By comparing the ages of students.
29. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3
A. Popularity. B. Relative age. C. The survey data. D. The cut-off date.
30. What might happen to students held back a year in Netherlands
A. Their teachers would be happy to have them in the class.
B. It would be difficult for them to pass the exams in Netherlands.
C. They might gain more popularity than others in the same year group.
D. They might be the most popular among the peers of the three countries.
31. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. The older a child gets, the wiser he or she will be.
B. Many students want to be held back to be popular.
C. Older children are likely to perform better in school.
D. Older children are often more popular than their younger peers.
D
Workplaces once had both official and unofficial uniforms. In traditional offices, those at the top of the pyramid would always be found in a suit; dressing for the job you wanted meant following this style.
The rise of the tech world changed this stereotype (刻板印象). Picture Silicon Valley’s most successful leaders, and the clothes that come to mind are jeans, hoodies and black turtlenecks. In the tech world, success has a different kind of uniform—one much more casual (随意的) than the suits of the past. This trend towards informality has spread to other fields.
Then in 2020 the widespread turn to “work from home” upended work dress codes (着装标准) altogether. During the pandemic, people mostly saw co-workers from the shoulders up on video calls—if they saw them at all. From home, people could easily perform a major role in a meeting in a collared shirt, sweatpants and slippers (拖鞋). If cameras were off, they could even be in pajamas (睡衣), working under a blanket.
Now, as workers come back into offices, few companies are asking a return to formal wear.
So, what does this mean for dressing for success With so many different dress codes across companies, is it still possible to ‘dress for the job you want’
It is no easy to dress for success. Getting the balance wrong by overdressing can send a negative message. About 79% of workplaces in the US now have a casual dress code. Turning up in a suit to show their desire for success could actually have a bad influence on others’ views on you.
The effect of your dressing style depends on who you are. For example, wearing jeans, your boss may seem easy-going while you seemingly careless. Still, dressing can help position you for success—and the key to getting it right is careful observation. The proper dressing might look very different in different workplaces. So understanding the unspoken rules of the dress code could give you an advantage.
Which might be the uniform of success in the tech world
A. Slippers. B. Pajamas. C. A formal suit. D. Casual jeans.
33. Which has the closet meaning to the underlined word “upended” in paragraph 3
A. Improve. B. Change. C. Require. D. Challenge.
34. What do we know about dress codes
A. Different companies have different dress codes.
B. The trend of dress codes would return to formal wear.
C. Following dress codes can help people achieve success.
D. Dress codes are clearly written and understood by people.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Dress as you like.
B. Let’s dress like a boss.
C. Ready for the new dressing style
D. Does “dressing for success” still matter

Maybe one day, scientists will invent a way for us to download dictionaries straight into our brains. Until then, here are three vocabulary-building tips for those learning English.
36 A very important point of learning words is to learn in context (语境)! 37 For example, when taking journeys by train or bus, many native English speakers, in practice, use the verb “to catch”. It is common to hear sentences like this one: I catch the bus at 7:30 every weekday. If you learned the verb “to catch” as a single word, you might describe it as “to receive and hold”. This definition (定义) is correct! But learning this and nothing else would make a such common sentence sound strange to you.
Look up new words. If you keep hearing a word and aren’t sure what it means, try to look it up as soon as you can. We asked an expert, the YouTube teaching star, Bob the Canadian: what is the best way to look up new words Bob said, “ 38 My second choice would be to use an English-to-your-native-language dictionary.” According to Bob, “Your native language can be your enemy when learning a new language. 39 ”
Keep a notebook handy. Every time you are exposed to English you will come across new words that you don’t understand. Each time you notice a new word, it’s a great opportunity! 40 This is an effective study method because each one of your notebook words has something to do with your own memory, giving you a more significant reason to remember them.
A. Try learning example sentences.
B. Don’t take dictionary meaning seriously.
C. Sometimes words are used completely differently in practice.
D. My preferred way is to look up the word in an English dictionary.
E. So sometimes if you can keep it at a distance, you will learn faster.
F. Perhaps you think putting something down on paper takes much time.
G. Get a notebook and write down each new word that you think is interesting.

Chris looked at the clock again. Only five more minutes before school let out. “On Friday,” said Mrs. Griswell, “be prepared to share your favorite hobby with the class. And please bring samples (样品) to show everyone!” Chris sighed. “No way am I going to talk about my favorite hobby,” he thought. His older brother, Wes, laughed at him about it enough. A boy loving clothes and accessories (饰品) designing Crazy.
After school, Chris’s friend Nick sat next to him on the bus. “So what’re you going to do for that hobby thing ” “Uh, I guess I can show my baseball cards,” Chris mumbled (嘟哝). No one except his family knew about his real hobby.
“Cool,” said Nick. “I’ll bring in some of my movie posters.”
Later at home, Chris pulled out his boxes of baseball cards. He liked baseball—even played some. But that was not what he liked most. Looking through his cards, Chris began choosing some of the best ones. Yet he didn’t feel right about what he had decided.
Tuesday passed. Chris gathered his baseball supplies and put them in a grocery bag marked “My Favorite Hobby.” He was ready for Friday, but he still felt something was wrong. He walked out of his room, leaving the sketchbook (画画本) on his desk.
Wednesday. After school Chris sat at the kitchen table with a sandwich and a glass of milk, but he wasn’t hungry. “What’s up ” Chris’s brother Wes asked, bursting through the door from soccer practice. “Nothing,” Chris muttered (嘀咕). Chris wanted to be true to himself, but he wasn’t brave enough to face the misunderstanding and laughter. However, Grandma, who was a fashion designer once proudly told him he had talent, admiring his work. And he felt really good about that. “Just be yourself, my boy.” Grandma’s words rang in his ears.
On Thursday night, looking at the grocery bag, he finally made a decision. ____________________________

Example 1
Dear Paul,
I definitely understand how you feel and I think the best solution to this problem is an full and frank talk with your parents.
First, tell your parents that drawing has always been an important part of your life. Knowing what it means to you will make it easier for them to understand your choice. Second, promise them you can keep a balance between your hobby and study. It would be better if you show your goals and detailed study plan to them.
Hope my suggestions are of some help to you.
Yours
Li Hua
Example 2
Dear Paul,
I understand your feelings. Having arguments with parents often makes us suffer and I’m writing to give you some suggestions.
First, talk to your patents and make sure they understand your feelings. Choose a good time when they are not busy and start your conversation politely. Second, put yourself in your parents’ shoes and try to understand what they do. They hope you are devoted to study because they want you to have the best possible future.
Hope my suggestions are of some help to you.
Yours

第二节（满分25分）
Paragraph 1:
On Thursday night, looking at the grocery bag, he finally made a decision. Chris emptied the bag of all its contents and started filling it with his sketchbook and some of his designs. He did not care what others thought anymore. He had finally realized that his true passion was fashion designing and creating unique accessories. He had been hiding his talent for too long, trying to fit in with the crowd. It was time to embrace his individuality and show the world his creativity. “I am going to be myself,” Chris said, smiling.
Paragraph 2:
It was Friday morning and soon came Chris’s turn. He walked up to the front of the classroom, carrying his grocery bag. Still, he started. “I … I’m a fashion designer.” Yep! There they were—the giggles. He continued to bring out his sketchbook and showed his designs for jackets, pants and shirts. Then Chris pulled a cap from his bag and put it on and the class became quiet. “This is one of my designs.” “I love it!” exclaimed a girl. Then the whole class exploded with excitement. Chris grinned. Now things finally felt right!

W: I was invited to Canada by my aunt Judy. I have never been to other countries. So I was so excited about the trip that I didn’t sleep well for several nights. On the day of leaving, my father thought that I might be caught in the traffic jam if I took a bus to the airport, so he drove me there. But our car broke down on the way. As the time went by, I began to worry about missing the flight. I decided to stop a car to take me to the airport. Many cars went past me with high speed before a white Bora stopped by my side. Thanks to the driver, I arrived at the airport just in time at 1:50 p.m. to catch my plane which would leave ten minutes later. It was my first flight and I was a bit nervous. When the plane was taking off, my ears felt funny. I was really sick. Luckily it was all over after a while. On my window seat, I could enjoy the bird’s-eye view of beautiful cities, land, grass, forests and blue sea. Sometimes our plane flew right over the white clouds. Unluckily I didn’t see any hills. Maybe I missed them. What a wonderful view!
