Marion Sheppard felt sorry for herself when she began to lose her sight in her 40s. Since childhood, Sheppard had always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently ”
After several months of grief and fear, Sheppard resolved to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class.
After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her to be on staff. Sheppard was excited.
She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves.
24. Why was Sheppard unwilling to leave her apartment
A. She had a lot of housework to do.
B. She had to attend her son at home.
C. She was afraid of being looked down upon.
D. She was worried about getting involved in accidents.
25. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick
A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it.
B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity.
C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool.
D. She valued it as something special.
26. Why did the community center refuse Sheppard’s request at first
A. They didn’t have enough space for dance classes.
B. They were concerned about the students’ safety.
C. They didn’t believe Sheppard could teach well.
D. They thought dancing wasn’t suitable for blind people.
27. What did Sheppard’s students learn from her
A. Humor and patience. B. Intelligence and honesty.
C. Imagination and creativity. D. Self-respect and self-reliance.
C
We have all experienced those moments when we desperately want to be understood. It’s human nature to seek connection, empathy and acceptance from those around us. Yet, in our pursuit (追求) of understanding, have we overlooked the surprising power of being misunderstood A conversation with Marie-Catherine Mignault, a researcher in organizational behavior at Cornell University, uncovered an interesting perspective on emotional understanding.
Mignault’s study highlights the significance of emotional understanding in relationships. She emphasizes that feeling understood by someone is a powerful force that builds trust, connection and emotional support.
While feeling understood is always desired, being misunderstood can lead to personal growth and creativity. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to face our own uniqueness. Mignault’s research raises an interesting question: Could embracing this discomfort lead to personal transformation
A study published in Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience highlights the various emotional responses that humans naturally feel in response to misunderstanding, including feelings of hurt, jealousy, loneliness, guilt, anxiety and sadness. These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth. Feeling hurt when our connections seem undervalued forces us to pause and reflect. It’s a chance for us to react in a better way, ensuring that our relationships are truly appreciated.
Jealousy can be a powerful force for self-improvement. It motivates us to protect and safeguard our relationships, ensuring they remain strong and secure.
Loneliness, while unsettling, acts as a driving force for social re-engagement. It’s a gentle push, reminding us to reach out to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. These connections, in turn, fuel our personal growth. Guilt and shame make us reflect on our actions, encouraging us to make amends (弥补错误) and maintain the connections we value.
Anxiety can act as a driver of personal improvement. It inspires us to make the best possible impressions and go the extra mile to be our finest selves.
Sadness can inspire us to act. It encourages us to regain control over our lives and give other emotions like joy and curiosity a fair chance.
In a word, misunderstanding doesn’t have to be a setback. Instead, it can motivate us to explore our perspectives and uncover new insights and creative solutions.
28. What is the real value of misunderstanding according to the text
A. It continuously maintains relationships.
B. It replaces emotional needs for protection.
C. It saves us the trouble of meeting people.
D. It drives self-reflection and transformation.
29. According to the research, what function does guilt have
A. It helps leave the best impression.
B. It encourages defensive behavior.
C. It enhances efforts to repair valued relationships.
D. It prevents individuals from being further hurt.
30. How do people transform anxiety into a positive force
A. By motivating self-improvement.
B. By lowering social expectations.
C. By showing emotional expressions.
D. By removing all sources of stress.
31. What can be concluded about misunderstanding according to the text
A. It’s a feeling about bad relationships.
B. It’s a way of destroying relationships.
C. It’s an opportunity for personal growth.
D. It’s an access to social communication.
D
At the beginning of the World Series (美职棒总决赛) of 1947, I experienced a completely new emotion, when the National Anthem was played. This time, I thought, it is being played for me, as much as for anyone else. This is organized major league baseball, and I am standing here with all the others; and everything that takes place includes me.
About a year later, I went to Atlanta, Georgia, to play in an exhibition game. On the field, for the first time in Atlanta, there were Negroes and whites. Other Negroes, besides me. And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.
And what is it that I have always believed First, imperfections are human. But wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think, those imperfections would disappear, no matter how slowly. I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection. That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events. Handicaps, stumbling blocks, prejudices — all of these are imperfect. Yet, they have to be reckoned with because they are in the scheme of human events.
Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder. But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all without the deep - rooted belief that my fight had a chance. It had a chance because it took place in a free society. Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object. Not once was the situation so rigid that I had no chance at all. Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me; and so there was the probability of improvement. I look at my children now, and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.
But I can tell them that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them. And to myself I can say that, because progress is unalterable, many of today’s dogmas (教条) will have vanished by the time they grow into adults. I can say to my children: There is a chance for you. No guarantee, but a chance. And this chance has come to be, because there is nothing static with free people. There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward. I do not believe that every person, in every walk of life, can succeed in spite of any handicap. That would be perfection. But I do believe that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us the dogmas of the past, discover the truth of today and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.
32. What has the author always believed
A. Imperfections are what human beings fight for.
B. A free society can facilitate perfection.
C. All human beings have imperfections.
D. Humans can approach perfection someday.
33. Which of the following does the author most probably agree with
A. The ideas of the past serve as reminders of the future.
B. The efforts behind humans count if we are to desolate the past.
C. The ever-changingness of society gives humans great promise.
D. The importance of children’s creativity can't be too emphasized.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards the current society
A. Doubtful.
B. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent.
D. Neutral.
35. The author writes the article to______.
A. reveal the imperfections of human and society
B. value the chance in a free society to better ourselves
C. call on human to accept the imperfections and live with a free heart
D. encourage people to do more for the country to achieve a brighter future

How to Have Better, Deeper Conversations
In today’s fast-paced world, distractions are everywhere, especially from our phones. When catching up with friends, it can be frustrating when their attention shifts away.____36____ It’s a skill that can be cultivated. Here are three key ways to enhance your listening ability.
Avoid distractions.
To be an effective listener, start by putting away your phone and other distractions. Research shows that multitasking distracts our attention and hampers the quality of our conversations. As musician Hishikesh Hirway says, “Trying to listen to one song while singing another in your head is impossible.”____37____
Reflect on what you hear.
Active listening is more than just being silent.____38____ Phrases like “What I hear you saying is” can confirm your understanding. Also, resist the urge to share your own stories immediately; keep the conversation centered on them.
____39____
Nonverbal communication plays a vital role in conversations. Maintaining eye contact, having an open posture, and nodding can show that you’re engaged. These small gestures help the other person feel valued and encourage them to continue sharing.
Improving your listening skills takes practice.____40____ As Hirway advises, “Let the other person know you’re listening and stay focused.”
A. Use nonverbal cues.
B. Look up to show interest.
C. So to build stronger relationships, active listening is essential.
D. But with a bit more effort, you can foster deeper conversations.
E. Engage by asking questions or summarizing what the other person says
F. Therefore, during conversations, focus fully on the person in front of you.
G. Taking notes while listening can help you remember the conversation better.

Her words made me ____48____. Later, I noticed that a friend ____49____ her house with wallpaper like her mom’s, and my sister _____50_____ bought a ping-pong table for neighbors. I somehow caught myself humming Dad’s favorite Tony Bennett songs.
It was then that I realized these similarities are actually rather _____51_____. I found home’s familiarity in Dad’s cuckoo clock and Mom’s split pea soup. So, instead of resisting, I learned to _____52_____ this change. Last week, I even made Mom’s roast beef — it tasted like _____53_____. I guess I’ve unknowingly become a mini _____54_____ of my parents, and I must admit: I don’t just like it; I’m _____55_____ for it.

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。
Grandpa Miller and six-year-old Timmy were always busy at their shared workbench. Under Grandpa’s gentle guidance, Timmy carefully polished a small wooden dog that they had made together for a long time, proud to be learning “real work” from Grandpa.
Their joy also spread around the big dinner table. Timmy kept talking to Grandpa. “Will the dog stand firmly, Grandpa ” “Sure! I sanded it SUPER smooth!” Grandpa responded gently.
Across the table sat Timmy’s father, Ben. He bent over his laptop, his eyebrows frowned (皱)。The joy of the grandfather and grandson seemed to escape him. “Quarterly reports are due tomorrow,” he replied to his wife Sarah absent-mindedly, who had just reminded him of the delicious potatoes. He grabbed a bite, his eyes sliding back to the laptop, blind to the warmth around him. When he reached for the bowl, intending to take a quick sip (抿), his arm knocked it over. Some hot soup spilled (洒) onto the table.
“Be careful!” Sarah said softly. She grabbed a cloth and started to clean the spill quickly. Ben was wiping his laptop when some soup spilled on his trousers. “Oh, annoying! The harder I try to get this done quickly, the more things go wrong!” said he, getting angry. Astonished, little Timmy stopped talking at once. He stared at his father quietly, not knowing what to do.
Grandpa Miller watched what happened calmly and then spoke in his low voice - the same familiar tone that used to comfort Ben when he was small. “Easy there, son,” he said firmly, “The soup deserves your whole heart, so does the moment with all of us.”
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。
Hearing the words, Ben froze.

【答案】范文一
Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled about your Taste of China series. After comparing the two themes, I think Street Snacks would be a more compelling choice.
Street snacks, which are deeply rooted in people’s daily lives, are not only affordable but also carry strong local characteristics, making it easier for viewers to relate. Moreover, filming at street stalls allows you to capture lively scenes of vendors skillfully preparing food and people chatting happily while enjoying their snacks. This way, you can showcase the delicious food as well as the vibrant atmosphere of Chinese communities.
I believe such a series will be a great success, which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary culture. Looking forward to your amazing videos!
Yours,
Li Hua
范文二
Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled about your Taste of China series. After comparing the two themes, I think Famous Dishes would be a more compelling choice.
Rooted deeply in Chinese history and culture, Famous Dishes are not merely culinary works but precious carriers of profound cultural heritage, each boasting a unique story and making it easier for viewers to grasp the essence of Chinese food culture. Moreover, filming these dishes enables you to capture chefs’ exquisite craftsmanship, which requires strict control over ingredients and fire, as well as elegant dining scenes like traditional banquets.
I believe such a series will be a great success, which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary culture. Looking forward to your amazing videos!
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】
Hearing the words, Ben froze. His fingers paused mid-air above the laptop keyboard, and the irritation on his face faded slowly. Memories flooded in—when he was Timmy’s age, Grandpa had said the same thing while teaching him to carve a wooden cart, reminding him to focus on the moment. Glancing up, he saw Timmy clutching the small wooden dog tightly, eyes wide with hesitation, and Sarah folding the soiled cloth quietly. “I’m sorry,” Ben said softly, closing the laptop. “I let work take over and missed this.” Timmy’s face lit up; he held out the wooden dog, and it stood steadily on the table. Grandpa smiled, pouring Ben a new bowl of soup.
After the dinner, Ben sat in front of the laptop again. But this time, his brows weren’t furrowed. The lingering warmth of the dinner calmed his restlessness. He typed steadily, and the quarterly report, which had felt like a burden, flowed smoothly. When he finished, he walked to the workbench. Timmy and Grandpa were polishing the wooden dog together. “Mind if I join ” Ben asked. Timmy handed him a piece of sandpaper, and Grandpa patted his arm. By the lamp’s glow, the three of them worked quietly, the gentle scraping of sandpaper the only sound in the peaceful room—this “real work” of togetherness was far more precious than any report.
