I’ve received dozens of these emails throughout my attempts to become a writer, “Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your work to us. However, this piece is not right for our magazine”, “Thank you for submitting your story to our magazine. Unfortunately, we are unable to publish it”; etc.
Nobody likes getting such emails. They are painful and can often be demotivating (使人变得消极). However, one day I received a beautiful rejection letter. The editor wrote that he enjoyed my non-fiction article. He also wrote, “I like your writing style. It is very engaging (引人入胜的). Nevertheless, I did find a few spots in your story where the wording seemed a little unusual to me. Not that it was wrong but that it tended to draw my attention away from the story. You should read as much English as you can to build a vocabulary and usage that draws our attention to feelings, not words.”
As a non-native English speaker, I often found it challenging to write in English. But this editor’s letter was of great help to me as it elucidated where and how I should improve my writing. I read Ernest Hemingway’s books and Jane Austen’s classic novels in order to improve my language skills. I read English newspapers and magazines and listened to talk shows on the radio. I learned at least three new words every day.
After eight months of this process, I went back and read the essay I had originally sent to the editor. I wrote the story and sent it to the same editor who congratulated me and accepted it for publication. What I took away from this experience was that I should never be satisfied with just “OK” results. I need to keep working on myself and to try to constantly expand my knowledge by taking advantage of every single moment, advice, comment, and review. I do feel uncomfortable sometimes, but I am not scared. The bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity to learn and grow.
24 Why was the editor dissatisfied with the author’s article
A. The story was too complicated.
B. Some unusual feelings were expressed.
C. The writing style was far from engaging.
D. Some of the language was not natural enough.
25. What does the underlined word “elucidated” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Proved. B. Clarified. C. Supported D. Confirmed.
26. What did the author learn from her experience
A. Great minds usually think alike.
B. Someone always sees the good in you.
C. One should always work towards improvement.
D. We shouldn’t be ashamed to seek advice from others.
27. What would be the best title of the text
A. Learning from Rejection: A Writer’s Growth
B. The Art of Accepting Praise: A Writer’s Strategy
C. From Rejection to Publication: A Writer’s Dilemma
D. Focusing on Learning Language: A Writer’s Success
C
A rocket built by students at the University of Southern California (USC) Rocket Propulsion Lab (RPL) has broken a 20-year record. Aftershock Ⅱ, launched from Nevada’s Black Rock Desert on October 20, 2024, reached an altitude (高度) of 470,000 feet. This was 90,000 feet higher than the previous amateur rocket altitude record of 380,000 feet. The record was set by the Civilian Space Exploration Team’s GoFast rocket in 2004.
The 14-foot tall Aftershock Ⅱ broke the sound barrier within two seconds of launch. It reached a maximum speed of 3,600 mph — 5.5 times the speed of sound — just 19 seconds after launch. This slightly exceeded the speed record set by GoFast in 2004. While its engine burned out shortly after launch, Aftershock Ⅱ continued its ascent. It left the Earth’s atmosphere in about 85 seconds after launch and reached its peak altitude in 92 seconds. At this point, the rocket’s nose cone detached and deployed its parachute (降落伞) for a safe landing in the desert. Here, the eagerly waiting student scientists got it back.
Aftershock Ⅱ’s success can largely be credited to technological innovations developed by the 100-person team at RPL. The rocket’s titanium-coated (钛涂层的) fins and a new heat-resistant paint enabled it to endure the extreme temperatures generated at high speeds. Student-designed computer systems allowed real-time rocket position tracking and sent back live data throughout the flight.
“This was probably the coolest thing we’ve gotten the opportunity to do. We’re just college students who have homework, dishes and groceries to do, and we just sent a rocket to space. We broke the world record and sent a rocket higher than anyone ever has,” said Operations Lead Jayna Rvbner.
RPL was founded in 2005 to launch student-designed and built rockets into space. The student-led group made history in 2019 when their Traveler Ⅳ rocket became the first student-built rocket to cross the Kármán line. This imaginary line, 328,083 feet above the Earth’s surface, marks the internationally recognized edge of space.
28. Which of the following best describes Aftershock Ⅱ
A. The highest-flying civilian-built rocket.
B. The first entirely student-designed rocket.
C. The fastest commercially-launched rocket.
D. The most technologically advanced rocket.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The performance of GoFast rocket. B. The flight details of Aftershock Ⅱ.
C The major achievements of USCRL. D. The design features of Aftershock Ⅱ.
30. What can be inferred from Rvbner’s words
A. The launch earned widespread recognition.
B. Aftershock Ⅱ raised students’ interest in rocketry.
C. Students took great pride in their accomplishments.
D. GoFast’s success inspired technological innovation.
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To provide some advice for readers. B. To add some background information.
C. To summarize the previous paragraphs. D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
D
As adults, attention and concentration are characteristics of the mind that we use daily, often with little effort and without conscious awareness. A crucial factor to consider here is that, like many other skills, attention and concentration improve as our brains mature and develop.
Children and teens have limitations to their attention since their brains are not fully mature until well beyond their twentieth birthday. A child’s attention span improves with age. However, it is important to note that some children may experience difficulties in focusing on tasks or concentrating on their studies and other activities. They may lose concentration more easily than their peers, which can be very distressing for everyone involved. Troubles with attention may also mean that something is not quite right in the world of the child. It is important for parents and teachers to be aware of what may be drawing away their attention to help them regain focus. Here are some key points to remember, so please pay attention!
First, attention and concentration are not the same thing. Simply speaking, attention is a complex brain system that selects and temporarily focuses on key emotionally important elements in our surrounding environment, while concentration is the ability to focus on a specific task for an extended period of time. Both are powerfully influenced by a child’s current emotional state as well as their overall development.
A child who is under stress will find it difficult to pay attention or concentrate on schoolwork or other related activities. In other words, emotions and stress have an impact on attention and concentration. Therefore, it is important to recognize the signs that a child may be troubled or stressed. Signs and symptoms that might indicate that something is not right in the world of a child include the difficulty completing classroom work or housework, avoiding writing or reading, failing to meet deadlines while completing classroom tasks, and making noises or disturbing people around them.
It should be apparent that, like many things that can impact how well a child does at school or home, it doesn’t take much to improve things.
32. What is a key factor that affects a child’s ability to pay attention
A. The child’s physical condition.
B. The child’s family atmosphere.
C. The child’s development of the brain.
D. The child’s previous educational background.
33. How does concentration differ from attention
A. Attention is age-related. B. Concentration is sustainable.
C. Concentration targets on people. D. Attention stresses the emotional state.
34. What is considered a typical sign of attention problems in children
A. Completing tasks in advance. B. Disturbing others unintentionally.
C. Keeping away from assignments. D. Performing terribly in examinations.
35. What will probably be talked about next
A. Specific examples of attention difficulties.
B. The effects of concentration on kids’ studies.
C. The importance of early childhood education.
D. Approaches to helping children improve attention.

We should sit somewhere quiet with a pen handy to draw out valuable answers. We should close our eyes and let the generosity and free-form nature of the question resonate.

Through ten or twenty minutes of this kind of concentrated but loose and exploratory (探究) wander through ourselves, we reduce the worry and sorrow of unfelt feelings.

67. 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。
Emily White was born seventeen years ago. She was born with many physical issues affecting her tiny body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it, but she had a strange figure that everyone could recognize, even from a distance.
In Emily’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (观众席) at Christmas. It had been performed for so many years that it had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the townsfolk. Each year, many people tried out for the show, but most were turned away. Only the best performers were invited to take part.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year, she asked Mrs. Owens, her music teacher, if she could join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Emily’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable too.”
Mrs. Owens sent Emily back through the door of the choral (合唱队的) room without even hearing her sing a single note. Hurt and upset, Emily decided never to try out again. But then Mrs. Owens retired, and the following school year, a new music teacher arrived, named Mr. Butler.
He had heard about Emily and suggested that she give it a try.
Emily didn’t want to be refused again, so she was a little hesitant to say yes. As Emily struggled with her decision, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler said, “Emily, you’re next.” Although she was nervous, Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to do. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to accompany Emily. When Emily finished her test performance, she thanked Mr Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was worried that she would never fit in. By the next morning, the stress was too much to bear and she started to feel sick.
续写要求：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the day of performance came.
