范文一：
Dear Tom,
Learning that you are seeking a culturally diverse destination, I highly recommend Nanjing,
which beautifully combines literature, art, and folk traditions.
What makes Nanjing special is its rich cultural resources. You can wander along the Qinhuai
River, where many Tang and Song poets wrote timeless lines. The Confucius Temple area once
held the China Imperial Examination, reflecting ancient scholarly culture. For art, don’t miss the
Yunjin Brocade Museum, which enables you to admire UNESCO-listed craft. As for folk customs,
the Qinhuai Lantern Festival during Spring Festival is a visual feast, with colorful paper lanterns
lighting up the night.
Spring or autumn being the ideal time, take Metro Line 3 to most sites and try some local
delicacies. I promise Nanjing will inspire you.
Yours,
Li Hua

范文二：
Dear Tom,
Delighted to know you’re visiting China, I strongly recommend Xi’an to you.
What strikes visitors most is the harmony of different cultural elements. As an ancient capital,
Xi’an mixes traditional culture and modern life perfectly. You can admire Terracotta Army,wander
around the ancient City Wall and taste local snacks to experience folk customs. Besides, people
from different ethnic groups live in harmony here, showing amazing cultural diversity. I eagerly
suggest you try local food and join cultural activities to feel its unique charm fully.
Hope you have an unforgettable trip!
Yours,
Li Hua

The letter described the day my mother left for university.My grandmother wrote about how
my mother packed her bags with excitement and a hint of fear, ready to explore the world beyond
our small town. She talked about the tears in my mother’s eyes as she said goodbye, tears of both
joy and sadness. My grandmother’s words painted a vivid picture of a young woman full of
dreams, just like me. She also expressed her mixed feelings of pride and loss, just as my mother
was now feeling about me.
After reading the letter, I began to understand my mother. I realized she wasn’t trying to hold
me back but simply worried about me, just as her own mother then. Seeing the parallel between
our situations, I felt a wave of guilt for not understanding her earlier. I decided to have a
heart-to-heart talk with her. When I showed her the letter and shared my thoughts, she cried and
hugged me tightly. Since then, we began to communicate better, respecting each other’s dreams
while also considering family bonds. The once mysterious old box became the key to mending our
relationship.

W: Hi, Ted, our meeting will start in 30 minutes. I need to copy your report. Can I get it now
M: I am working on the last paragraph. Just give me 10 more minutes.
Text 2
M: Cindy, are your grandparents waiting for you out there
W: Yes, they are. Since both my mom and dad are on a business trip, my grandparents are taking
care of me for this week.
M: Alright. If you want, you can leave class a bit early. I’ll see you next week.
Text 3
W: Hello. Can I book an appointment to see Dr. Johnson next Monday Preferably early in the
morning.
M: We start at 8:30, and there’s an opening at 9:00 or 9:30.

W: The earlier, the better.
Text 4
W: Hello, Maria speaking. I just want to remind you of a sales promotion this e
around and select your favorite books.
M: Thanks a lot for inviting me, but I really have no time.
Text 5
W: My son prefers staying indoors and keeps to himself. I’m concerned he might have
difficulty making friends.
M: That’s quite the contrast with my daughter who’s always on the go. But personalities vary,
and it’s not necessary to be overly concerned.
Text 6
M: Hello. I’d like this guidebook, please. How much is it
W: All things are free here.
M: Oh, thanks. I’ll stay in the city for one week.⑥Could you tell me what places I should visit
W: Well, there are a lot.⑦Are you interested in islands, such as Lantau

scenery is beautiful. Take this booklet. It tells you more.
M: Thank you very much.⑦That’s a great suggestion.
W: You are welcome.

M: I’ll call Pat for help, and I can lend a hand too.
W: Really
M: Why not I did it last month. If you remember when Dave, William and Janet came round.

W: Hello, sir. Have you come for a scheduled appointment
M: No, actually. I’m here to see Ms. Johnson. She recommended last month that I should
visit her office to talk over the financial terms of our deal.
W: I see. I have her schedule right here, but it appears there are no appointments booked for today,
and no unscheduled visits noted for this afternoon.
M: I understand. Would it be possible for me to see her after her lunch
W: I’m afraid not, as she’s currently presenting to her department’s investors in the conference
room and won’t be available until after 3:00 p.m.
M: That’s alright. Could you please let her know that Mr. Smith from Global Enterprises has come

by Here’s my business card with my contact details. I’m open for a call at any time today

W: Dr. Green, congratulations on your new book’s success. We heard it’s been translated into
30 languages including English, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese.
M: Thanks, Helen. That’s right.
W: Could you tell us what the book is about
M: It’s called “In Praise of Slow”. It discusses how the world sped up and how people are now
slowing down, marking the rise of the Slow Movement.
W: What is the Slow Movement
M: It’s a reaction against the notion that faster is always better. It’s about achieving high
quality by doing things right, not just doing them fast.
W: When and where was this “slow” idea born
M: It originated in Italy in the early 1990s as the Slow Food Movement and has since spread
globally.
W: Have we tried to speed up things that can’t be sped up
M: Definitely. The Internet, while connecting us, also pressures us to rush relationships. People
claim thousands of online friends, yet a study in Britain found that in ten years, the number
of children without a best friend increased from under one in eight to nearly one in five.
Text 10
M: It’s remarkable how a hobby can grow into a successful career. My journey began
with a passion for gardening. In my spare time, I planted flowers and vegetables, appreciating
nature’s beauty and the outdoors. I could never have guessed that this interest would one day
become my profession.
As I explored further, I experimented with various gardening methods and attended classes to
refine my skills. Friends and familiar faces began to take note of my talent and sought my help
with their gardens. This led me to realize the potential for turning my passion into a profession.
Starting with small tasks like setting up gardens for friends and community events, positive
word of mouth spread, and my reputation grew. This boosted my confidence and ambition to
make gardening my primary occupation. However, the journey was not without its challenges.
There were periods of intense labor to maintain the health of the plants, and the financial
rewards were not always consistent.Moreover, I faced competition from other gardeners.
Today, I operate my own gardening business, specializing in creating beautiful gardens for
both residential and commercial clients. I’ve traveled extensively, came across diverse people, and
created numerous green spaces. My future plans involve learning about new plant species,
sharing my gardening knowledge, and continuing to bring joy through nurturing growth.

Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His "Extraordinary
Voyages" series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But
Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories—he also predicted over 100 modern-day
inventions and technologies in his writings.
In the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world
with global multimedia communications. He described the "phonotelephone" which sent sound
and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily
communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent.
"Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from
her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her
eyes moist with tears."
Verne's technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the
future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural
stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge
science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the "hard science fiction" of
the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and
innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant
but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine to violently attack ships. For Verne, human
nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne's timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire
generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is
perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
24. How did the author illustrate Verne's writing style
A. By listing figures.
B. By quoting a saying.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By giving an example.
25. What is special about Verne's writing compared with other writers
A. He preferred supernatural and imaginary ideas.
B. He paid more attention to character development.
C. He rooted his future visions in science and research.
D. He wrote more thrilling stories about mad scientists.
26. What is Verne's opinion on technology
A. Technology itself decides whether it is good or bad.
B. Human nature plays a key role in technology's use.
C. Technology will certainly bring harm to human beings.
D. Scientific progress is always the top goal of humans.
27. Which of the following can best describe Jules Verne
A. Creative and realistic.
B. Humorous and cautious.
C. Stubborn and optimistic.
D. Traditional and productive.
C
As restaurants increasingly embrace technology for placing food orders, a new University of
South Florida (USF) study has revealed that digital ordering platforms significantly influence
consumer behavior.
"While digital ordering can enhance convenience and efficiency, many consumers will
choose unhealthier food and spend more," said Dipayan Biswas, a professor of marketing at the
Muma College of Business. "Our research highlights the importance of understanding the
influence of digital devices on our decision-making."
Through six studies at restaurants and two in a USF School of Marketing and Innovation lab,
Biswas and his graduate students examined the effect of ordering off a digital menu vs. a physical
menu. The team reviewed more than 23,000 orders from a variety of restaurants, including an
independently owned Mexican cuisine restaurant and a major global dining chain with 1,000
locations across 23 countries.
The study revealed 61% of digital orders, including those made for delivery, were
unhealthy—more than 3% higher than non-digital orders. The team also found that digital menus
have a greater impact on what consumers order for dinner, since they tend to be more exhausted
and reliant on technology later in the day. Therefore, digital ordering technologies may have less
influence on consumers during breakfast and lunch.
"Digital ordering modes encourage a more automatic decision-making process with lower
cognitive involvement," Biswas said. "This is because digital tools encourage people to rely less
on their cognitive resources and more on automated processes." This phenomenon is known as the
"Google Effect". The reduced cognitive involvement in digital contexts can result in more
automatic decision-making, leading to more unhealthy food choices.
According to Biswas, restaurant managers could use this research to tailor their offerings.
"Restaurant managers aiming to promote healthier options may benefit from offering non-digital
ordering modes or some may be interested in promoting unhealthy items during dinner hours
through digital ordering to drive sales," Biswas said.
28. Digital ordering have more influence on dinner choices because .
A. people are less occupied during daytime
B. dinner menus offer more unhealthy options
C. digital delivery services are more available at night
D. people are more tired and reliant on technology at night
29. What is the "Google Effect" described in the passage
A. More spending via digital tools.
B. Less thinking and more automatic choices.
C. Greater popularity and fewer choices.
D. Higher efficiency through digital ordering.
30. What does Biswas advise restaurant managers to do
A. Make adjustments in their services accordingly.
B. Offer non-digital ordering modes to customers.
C. Remove all unhealthy items from the digital menu.
D. Use digital ordering only during breakfast and lunch.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Digital menus are well-received by consumers.
B. Digital ordering is more convenient and efficient.
C. Digital ordering impacts consumers' food choices.
D. Digital menus help increase sales of unhealthy foods.
D
The list of potential victims of artificial intelligence is long. It includes every business, all
software engineers, privacy and humanity itself. But some of its expected effects are more popular
than others. Most people can agree, for example, that AI will be doing workers a great favour if it
gets rid of grunt work, the sort of repetitive tasks that take up too much of everyone's days. Filling
out expense claims, copying and pasting things into spreadsheets, trying to resize one of those
stupid boxes in PowerPoint—if people were able to leave this grunt work to machines, they could
devote more attention to higher-value tasks.
Yet there is a case for keeping some of this grunt work. Repetitive tasks are not just mindless
busywork. They can be a form of mental training, a way to build focus and discipline. They also
provide a sense of small, regular wins that keep spirits high. Moreover, doing grunt work teaches
you the nuts and bolts of a job, which make the whole system work smoothly. Skipping these
steps can lead to ignorance of how things actually function, leaving you ill-equipped to solve real
problems when they arise.
Consider a young doctor who skips taking patient histories to focus on high-tech diagnostics.
They may miss hidden clues that only emerge from routine questioning. A software engineer who
never debugs code by hand will struggle to understand why a program fails. A manager who
offloads all administrative work will lose the hands-on insight required for good decisions. Grunt
work is not a waste of time; it is an investment in competence.
Of course, not all grunt work is worth preserving. AI should eliminate the most soul-crushing,
mind-numbing tasks that offer no learning value. But the line between useless busywork and
valuable foundational practice is often unclear. The best approach is to use AI as a tool to reduce,
not eliminate, grunt work. Let machines handle the worst of it, and keep the rest for humans to
learn, grow, and stay grounded in the reality of their work.
32. Which is an example of grunt work
A. Designing a new software.
B. Decoding a program failure.
C. Reading patient histories.
D. Making an innovative PowerPoint.
33. What does the underlined phrase "nuts and bolts" mean in paragraph 2
A. Features. B. Fundamentals.
C. Details. D. Routines.
34. Which of the following statements might the author agree with
A. AI should take over all grunt work in the workplace.
B. Proper grunt work helps improve basic working abilities.
C. Grunt work is meaningless and a waste of time and energy.
D. AI can't really help handle repetitive daily work efficiently.
35. What might be the title of the passage
A. Farewell, grunt work
B. Hello, grunt work
C. In place of grunt work
D. In praise of grunt work

How many hours should employees work The 40-hour workweek remains a standard norm,
even if many jobs go beyond the nine-to-five schedule. Actual working hours are not the same as
ideal hours, since jobs, incomes and cultural norms differ greatly, and there is no universal answer.
36
You might choose to emphasise work-life balance. A recent research paper by Duke
University asked workers in three countries what pay cut (or rise) they would accept in order to
adjust their workweek. In Germany and Britain, people would be happy to sacrifice some money
in return for more leisure time. 37
38 Experts believe that reducing working hours can benefit everyone if shorter hours
help employers too. Studies prove that after a certain hour limit, each extra hour leads to lower
output, and too long hours contribute nothing to total production.
You might consider things from the perspective of cost. Extending hours of current workers
is reasonable as long as they create value. Employees carry fixed costs like benefits, so spreading
these costs over longer hours is often more economical than hiring new employees with extra
expenses.
You might see long hours as a sign of a proper work ethic. 39 Many company
founders keep high work intensity as their companies grow. Some business leaders even believe
very long workweeks support national prosperity.
There are other ways to approach this question. You might argue that the best workweek is
defined by output, not hours. You might say that this is one for policymakers, or whisper
something about AI. 40 You're also sending a signal about your own priorities.
A. You might focus on productivity.
B. You might cut down on the working hours.
C. Founders initially take on most of the missions.
D. Long hours and late nights are often necessary for startups.
E. Americans, in contrast, would like to work longer and get more money.
F. However, your opinion on the suitable workweek shows your management style.
G. But however you answer, you're not just reflecting your industry and national culture.

Growing up in Mauritius, I loved nature. Behind my house stands a mountain named Le
Pouce, on which I spent much time 41 the forest as a kid. However, my instinct (天性)
for exploration 42 at the water's edge. Despite living on an island 43 by the
Indian Ocean, I was 44 by the mere thought of entering the ocean.
When I was about 10, this started to change. I learned about the 45 climate change
posed to island countries and developed an interest in environmental protection. Later, I took
National Geographic's courses, which set me on a path to helping start The Oceanic Project, an
organization dedicated to ocean 46 and protection.
47 , I realized humans depend on the ocean and that it was not as dangerous as I had
imagined. Determined to 48 my fear, I stepped outside my comfort zone and became a(n)
49 diver last year. After getting my diving qualification, I helped run a summer camp and led
a beach cleanup. I got encouraged by the 50 of the cleanup when a parent told me her son
51 replacing plastic items with bamboo alternatives after returning home.
52 the ship crash that spilled (溢出) over 1,000 metric tons of fuel into our coral reef,
I joined thousands of volunteers to 53 the spill. Collective action made a difference and
revealed the power of working together. Change takes time, but we must protect the ocean every
day, not just during crises. Photos on social media are our best tools to shift 54 .
Protecting the ocean is very 55 and I'll keep devoting myself to it. I sincerely hope
more people will join me. Only with everyone's effort can we make the world a wonderful place
for human beings.

In the dusty attic (阁楼 ) of my childhood home, hidden in a forgotten corner, sat an old
wooden box. Its surface was worn smooth with age, and the metal lock showed signs of rust (铁
锈).
Drawn to it as a child, I would run my fingers over it, wondering what secrets it might hold.
My grandmother always told me it was special, but she never opened it. For years, it remained a
mystery, its contents—perhaps faded photographs, delicate jewelry—left to my imagination.
Though curiosity burned, I never tried to open it, assuming that it was meant to be unlocked at the
right time.
As I grew older, life pulled me away. Schoolwork, friendships, and the uncertainty of the
future consumed me. By my final year of high school, the box lay buried beneath old blankets and
boxes, forgotten.
That year was a storm of emotions. My parents often spoke about my future, their voices
filled with both hope and expectation. My mother especially wanted me to stay close to home. She
spoke of family, of security, of the importance of being near the people who loved me. But I
dreamed of something different. I longed for new places, new experiences, a world beyond the
familiar streets I had known all my life. The tension built slowly, each conversation turning into a
debate, each disagreement growing sharper. She didn't understand why I wanted to leave, and I
couldn't understand why she wouldn't support me. The arguments grew more frequent, words
spoken in frustration hanging in the air long after they were said.
One evening, after another quarrel, I fled to the attic. My hands trembling, I wiped away tears,
my gaze landing on the box. Without thinking, I opened it. Inside, letters were neatly piled up.
Dozens of them lay before me, some yellowed with time, others more recent, all written in my
grandmother's familiar handwriting. My breath caught in my throat as I picked up the one on top.
