There are many kinds of jobs in the world, and if people can’t find their ideal job, they can always create one. Molly Lewis did just that by becoming a professional whistler.
Shane O’ Neill writes in The Washington Post, “If you’re a famous comedian, you may get the frightening ‘Tell me a joke!’ from a stranger. If you think that’s bad, try being a professional whistler.” “It happens all the time,” said Molly Lewis with a smile. “Sometimes I’ll oblige.”
Lewis released her album, On the Lips, in February, to promote whistling. “People often don’t know much about whistle music apart from some pop songs,” Lewis said. “But I think it’s a beautiful instrument.”
People gradually notice whistle music. She whistled a singer’s What Was I Made For? appeared in the Barbie movie.
Lewis adds depth to whistling, which is usually seen as cheerful or absent-minded. She is inspired by artists like the couple, Marty and Elayne. “They played for 37 years, five nights a week, and it was very special,” Lewis said.
Lewis learned to whistle at four but took it seriously after seeing Pucker Up, a 2005 documentary about competitive whistling. She attended the International Whistlers Convention in 2012 and has performed in music clubs since then.
Starting in 2017, Lewis performed shows called Cafe Molly at Zebulon, attracting many notable figures. On tour, she aims to create an atmosphere of elegance, an atmosphere she hopes to bring home with On the Lips.

Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit.
Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son, Alex. The play explores friendship, unconditional mother love, and hope and despair. Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble.
The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience. This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him. The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs, which take up most of Mary Jane’s life. Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs. Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humor that help her fight with her daily struggles. One of the most moving parts of the play is that of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children. They exchange advice, encourage and entertain each other with humor.
Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. His findings show humor’s physical and psychological benefits.
Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health.
8. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a new play. B. To provide humor in our daily life.
C. To emphasize the importance of humor. D. To introduce the way to be humorous.
9. Which words can describe Mary Jane?
A. Curious and sensitive. B. Loyal and hardworking.
C. Careful and friendly. D. Strong and humorous.
10. What can we learn from the play?
A. The audience seldom see Alex in the play. B. Mary Jane has no friends.
C. Mary Jane never goes out to work. D. Mary Jane has a considerate husband.
11. How did Cousins recover from his illness?
A. By having plenty of exercise. B. By laughing a lot every day.
C. By having a balanced diet. D. By taking lots of medicine.
D
Screens are replacing paper in almost every area of communication, but is this good for our mental health? Research shows that reading has many mental health benefits, yet most people choose screen time over books for entertainment. Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused.
Reading short posts on social media reduces our attention span, making long books harder to enjoy. This type of reading also uses simple language, offering less exposure to rich vocabulary and ideas. Research indicates that comprehension is six to eight times better with physical books than e-readers. While people may read faster on devices, distractions (使人分心的事物) like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read. Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better.
Holding a book, turning its pages, and highlighting favorite parts engage the body. Researchers say turning pages helps create a “mental map”, linking what we read to specific pages, which aids memory. The physical actions of reading a book-how you hold it, how your eyes move across the pages-create a unique experience. Unlike e-books, physical books offer a tangible (可感知的) experience, which is important for building strong mental connections.
Physical books also offer a social experience that e-readers do not. Visiting a bookstore, asking a librarian for recommendations, or sharing a book with a friend are enjoyable aspects of reading. These social interactions are missed when downloading e-books.
Most people strongly prefer printed books. In one study, 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmark. Reading physical books not only improves comprehension but also provides a richer, more engaging experience.
12. Why does digital learning challenge students?
A. There is very little to read. B. There are many distractions.
C. Digital devices are costly. D. E-books are hard to find.
13. Which helps readers remember content better?
A. Reading physical books. B. Using e-readers to read.
C. Surfing news websites. D. Reading short media posts.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards physical books?
A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Supportive.
15. What is the main focus of the text?
A. Benefits of digital learning. B. Dangers of digital devices.
C. Strengths of physical books. D. Changes in reading habits.

47. 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。
On a calm weekend, I went to the countryside to visit my grandmother. Her house, located in the heart of a village, was a harbour of quietness away from the noise of city life. As I approached her home, the familiar sight of her welcoming smile warmed my heart.
My grandmother, a woman of great wisdom and strength, had always been the backbone of our family. Her hands, though weathered with time, were skilled in the art of growing food from the soil. Her garden was her pride and her love for the land.
Upon my arrival, I noticed the wide area of her garden, awaiting the plants that would bring forth a harvest. I eagerly offered to help her with the planting, but she looked at me with concern. Her eyes reflected a mix of affection and apprehension. "Are you sure, my dear?" she asked with doubt. "It's hard work, and I don't want you to tire yourself."
Determined to assist her, I insisted on learning the skills of gardening. She saw the determination in my eyes and, with a gentle nod, agreed to teach me. Under her careful teaching, I began my learning, eager to absorb every piece of knowledge she had to offer.
The process of planting required patience. My grandmother showed me how to prepare the soil, the proper depth to dig, and the correct spacing between each seedling(幼苗). She explained the importance of each step. She taught me every single detail.
At first, my movements were clumsy(笨拙的), and I feared I might be more of trouble than a help. But my grandmother's encouragement was firm. She guided my hands, correcting my technique with a gentle touch and kind words. Slowly, I began to find my rhythm (节奏), and my action became more fluent.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone.

Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit.
Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son, Alex. The play explores friendship, unconditional mother love, and hope and despair. Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble.
The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience. This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him. The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs, which take up most of Mary Jane’s life. Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs. Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humor that help her fight with her daily struggles. One of the most moving parts of the play is that of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children. They exchange advice, encourage and entertain each other with humor.
Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. His findings show humor’s physical and psychological benefits.
Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health.
8. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a new play. B. To provide humor in our daily life.
C. To emphasize the importance of humor. D. To introduce the way to be humorous.
9. Which words can describe Mary Jane?
A. Curious and sensitive. B. Loyal and hardworking.
C. Careful and friendly. D. Strong and humorous.
10. What can we learn from the play?
A. The audience seldom see Alex in the play. B. Mary Jane has no friends.
C. Mary Jane never goes out to work. D. Mary Jane has a considerate husband.
11. How did Cousins recover from his illness?
A. By having plenty of exercise. B. By laughing a lot every day.
C. By having a balanced diet. D. By taking lots of medicine.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B

Screens are replacing paper in almost every area of communication, but is this good for our mental health? Research shows that reading has many mental health benefits, yet most people choose screen time over books for entertainment. Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused.
Reading short posts on social media reduces our attention span, making long books harder to enjoy. This type of reading also uses simple language, offering less exposure to rich vocabulary and ideas. Research indicates that comprehension is six to eight times better with physical books than e-readers. While people may read faster on devices, distractions (使人分心的事物) like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read. Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better.
Holding a book, turning its pages, and highlighting favorite parts engage the body. Researchers say turning pages helps create a “mental map”, linking what we read to specific pages, which aids memory. The physical actions of reading a book-how you hold it, how your eyes move across the pages-create a unique experience. Unlike e-books, physical books offer a tangible (可感知的) experience, which is important for building strong mental connections.
Physical books also offer a social experience that e-readers do not. Visiting a bookstore, asking a librarian for recommendations, or sharing a book with a friend are enjoyable aspects of reading. These social interactions are missed when downloading e-books.
Most people strongly prefer printed books. In one study, 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmark. Reading physical books not only improves comprehension but also provides a richer, more engaging experience.
12. Why does digital learning challenge students?
A. There is very little to read. B. There are many distractions.
C. Digital devices are costly. D. E-books are hard to find.
13. Which helps readers remember content better?
A. Reading physical books. B. Using e-readers to read.
C. Surfing news websites. D. Reading short media posts.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards physical books?
A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Supportive.
15. What is the main focus of the text?
A. Benefits of digital learning. B. Dangers of digital devices.
C. Strengths of physical books. D. Changes in reading habits.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

47. 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。
On a calm weekend, I went to the countryside to visit my grandmother. Her house, located in the heart of a village, was a harbour of quietness away from the noise of city life. As I approached her home, the familiar sight of her welcoming smile warmed my heart.
My grandmother, a woman of great wisdom and strength, had always been the backbone of our family. Her hands, though weathered with time, were skilled in the art of growing food from the soil. Her garden was her pride and her love for the land.
Upon my arrival, I noticed the wide area of her garden, awaiting the plants that would bring forth a harvest. I eagerly offered to help her with the planting, but she looked at me with concern. Her eyes reflected a mix of affection and apprehension. "Are you sure, my dear?" she asked with doubt. "It's hard work, and I don't want you to tire yourself."
Determined to assist her, I insisted on learning the skills of gardening. She saw the determination in my eyes and, with a gentle nod, agreed to teach me. Under her careful teaching, I began my learning, eager to absorb every piece of knowledge she had to offer.
The process of planting required patience. My grandmother showed me how to prepare the soil, the proper depth to dig, and the correct spacing between each seedling(幼苗). She explained the importance of each step. She taught me every single detail.
At first, my movements were clumsy(笨拙的), and I feared I might be more of trouble than a help. But my grandmother's encouragement was firm. She guided my hands, correcting my technique with a gentle touch and kind words. Slowly, I began to find my rhythm (节奏), and my action became more fluent.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone. I became more careful. I recalled the skills my grandmother had taught me, including the methods of digging, planting vegetable seedlings and watering them. Happily, I made it and my grandmother praised me. Each seedling I planted was a promise of growth, and a symbol of hope for the future. The sun bore down on us, and sweat dropped from my forehead, but the satisfaction of our labor was a reward beyond measure.
When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden. I was so proud to see the seedlings I had grown myself. I knew the day I spent with my grandmother would remain in my heart forever. I helped my grandmother, and in the process, I received a gift far greater than I could have imagined. I had learned the art of gardening. More importantly, I had deepened my bond with my grandmother, a connection that would flourish like the seeds we had planted together. I look forward to gardening with my grandmother again in the future.
