A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter’s(木匠) traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood，without glue，screws or nails.Wang Dewen，known as “Grandpa Amu” online，has been praised as the modern-day Lu Ban，a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty，thanks to his rich carpentry knowledge.
Grandpa Amu’s most popular video，which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge，has gone viral online，gaining more than 40 million views.“If you do something，you have to love it，and you have to be interested in it；however，being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.
His most popular works include a folding stool，a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo，and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle，known as a Lu Ban lock.Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique，which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.
The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique.His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine.With over 1.17 million fans online，Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.
His wonderful woodworking skills were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province.“The grandson is so happy，as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by Grandpa from an early age，” commented one netizen，while another said，“It’s amazing.I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on！”

A．He is made fun of on the Internet.
B．He aims at spreading Chinese culture.
C．He has made a lot of fortune on the Internet.
D．He is well known for his carpentry skills on the Internet.
25．What can we infer from Grandpa Amu’s words in paragraph 2

Most people have probably run into this problem.When you’re traveling，you want to take a photo to capture a moment，but you’re alone or your friend is a poor photographer.Now with the help of social media platforms，a “travel-along photographer” can take this worry off your list.
A travel-along photographer is like a travel companion who takes photos for you for an hour or two while accompanying you to the destination of your choice.Due to this year’s travel boom and social media，such photographers have grown in popularity.
“With social media platforms，every photographer can advertise for themselves and be seen，” said Shi Xinqi，a 22-year-old part-time photographer from Xiamen，Fujian Province.In the past month，Shi has photographed over 30 clients.Rui Changchang,27，agrees.Social media platforms help him be seen and find what he has been looking for over the years.
Rui used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities，but he didn’t feel the fundamental joy that he thought photography should create.From the lighting and clothing to the professional models，everything was from an assembly line.Now，he’s a full-time photographer who spends most of his time at Universal Studios in Beijing.“It’s very fascinating to help complete strangers become comfortable in front of the camera and capture a joyful moment for them.” Rui believes that capturing connections between people is what makes photos so touching.
But this is not a one-way service.When photographers capture these moments for their customers，they also learn something about themselves.“Most of my customers are women.I often describe them as the ‘beauty and power of women’，” said Shi，relating one experience with a customer in her 30s.Shi asked her if she had any regrets in her life—to which she replied that she had none.“That woman was so confident and determined.She helped relieve my anxiety about aging，” said Shi.
However，this booming industry also has a dark side.For travel-along photographers，there are no industry standards or measures to ensure the rights of all parties.Even though the photographers are from the same city，their pricing is dramatically different.
28．What does a travel-along photographer mainly do
A．Run social media platforms.
B．Take worries off a traveler’s list.
C．Take pictures of a traveler along the way.
D．Accompany a traveler to the destination.
29．How is paragraph 4 developed
A．By drawing conclusions.
B．By giving a definition.
C．By listing examples.
D．By making a contrast.
30．What does paragraph 5 intend to tell us
A．The services offered by the photographers.
B．The benefits enjoyed by the photographers.
C．The moments captured by camera.
D．The communication promoted by customers.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards the industry
A．Favorable. B．Objective.
C．Indifferent. D．Negative.
D
In today’s digital age，where a vast ocean of information is just a click away，the question arises：can one learn too much because no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge.However，there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction，a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal.You begin by conducting extensive research，diving deep into the subject.As you absorb more information，it paradoxically(矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens.Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers，making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap：the endless pursuit of more information.Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable，that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot，issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application.If learning continuously prevents you from starting，you’ll find yourself stuck，unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.Gather essential information，then transition into action swiftly，even if you feel somewhat unprepared.This is often the best way to learn，as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here.A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process.Instead，it learns by attempting to walk，falling，and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t.Through repeated effort，walking is eventually mastered.This method is applicable to goal achievement too.By engaging in action，learning from the outcomes，and adjusting accordingly，you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary，while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable，it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action.Learning should be a stepping stone to doing，not an end in itself.It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
32．What stops people from achieving the goal
A．The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B．The inability to find relevant information.
C．The confusion caused by the information.
D．The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
33．What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 & paragraph 4
A．Sticking to continuous learning.
B．Taking practical action without delay.
C．Gaining as much knowledge as possible.
D．Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study.
34．Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in paragraph 5
A．To compare different learning styles.
B．To show the importance of making mistakes.
C．To emphasize the need for parental guidance.
D．To illustrate learning through action and experience.
35．What may be the best title for the passage
A．The Harmony of Learning and Doing
B．The Process of Accessing Information
C．The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge
D．The Significance of Hands-on Experience

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school. 36 .
One of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal，who is 68 years old and works at the University of Copenhagen.When describing his career，Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
37 .They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful.But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case.The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students. 38 ，some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.They are，in a way，learning how to be creative.
Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood，metal or in the arts than most scientists.The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences.Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests， 39 .
The researchers say that，even among people who do not win big prizes，those with many interests are often successful.They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college. 40 .Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.
A．That study plan is called a “double major”
B．What we believe is of great benefit to them
C．Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students
D．They discovered that if they helped each other afterwards
E．Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity
F．They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes
G．But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important

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。
I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old.I still remember the day when she pulled me into the living room and said，“You are brilliant in my mind，but if you fail once don’t give up.Don’t fear failure.It is a way of getting us to try harder.You will succeed，I promise.”
She looked at me and continued，“I want you to carry this two-dollar bill for extra good luck.”
“Thanks mom，” I replied.“I will keep it close to me always.”
I am not superstitious(迷信的)，but from that day on the bill goes with me wherever I go.I firmly believe that luck would follow me everywhere.
Every morning I would get dressed and my two-dollar bill went into my pocket.My mother passed away when I was 17 years old and I remembered taking out my two-dollar bill.I held it in my hand for the longest time and knew that she would be watching over me the rest of my life.
Each time I felt I had a crisis on my hands，I would reach for my two-dollar bill and set it on the table.I would stare at it for several hours and could always come up with a solution.
When I applied for my first job，I was thirty years old and very shy.The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work.On my first interview，as I sat in the waiting room，I noticed there were five women ahead of me.All of the women were younger and very well dressed.One of them looked perfect in her blue striped suit with matching purse and shoes.I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their résumés(简历)．
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。

M：Yes，it is.It’s about five minutes’ walk from Marble Arch station.And it’s very close to Hyde Park.It’s one of the nicest hotels in London.
W：Great. I’d like a double room for three nights.And can you check the price
M：Yes，sure. I’m afraid hotels in London are really expensive but of course they are comfortable.A lot of people think that London’s the most expensive city for tourists in the world.
W： Yes，last year we stayed two nights in a hotel that cost over ￡200 a night!
M：Right， I’ve booked it for you，￡220 a night.When you come out of the underground station，go along Edgware Road for about 400 meters and it’s on the right，opposite a cinema.
W：Brilliant.Thanks very much.

W：Good morning，everyone.May I have your attention，please？I just want to tell everyone that the place of the office party has been changed.Instead of being at the Irish Pub on 6th Street， it will be at the LaFleur Club.The LaFleur Club is not very far from the office.It is on the corner of 9th Street，just across from the Greenville Gallery and next to the Rodolfo Club.If anyone doesn’t know the place，you can ask me for details.It has a very nice atmosphere，and even a karaoke stage.Our company will pay for only a buffet and soft drinks， so you will have to pay for wine yourself.The subway station is really far away from the LaFleur Club.And it is difficult to park your cars there during the dinner time.So as for the transportation， we strongly encourage you to take the bus.See you at the party！I hope all of you will come and enjoy the party.

A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter’s(木匠) traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood，without glue，screws or nails.Wang Dewen，known as “Grandpa Amu” online，has been praised as the modern-day Lu Ban，a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty，thanks to his rich carpentry knowledge.
Grandpa Amu’s most popular video，which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge，has gone viral online，gaining more than 40 million views.“If you do something，you have to love it，and you have to be interested in it；however，being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.
His most popular works include a folding stool，a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo，and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle，known as a Lu Ban lock.Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique，which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.
The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique.His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine.With over 1.17 million fans online，Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.
His wonderful woodworking skills were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province.“The grandson is so happy，as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by Grandpa from an early age，” commented one netizen，while another said，“It’s amazing.I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on！”

Most people have probably run into this problem.When you’re traveling，you want to take a photo to capture a moment，but you’re alone or your friend is a poor photographer.Now with the help of social media platforms，a “travel-along photographer” can take this worry off your list.
A travel-along photographer is like a travel companion who takes photos for you for an hour or two while accompanying you to the destination of your choice.Due to this year’s travel boom and social media，such photographers have grown in popularity.
“With social media platforms，every photographer can advertise for themselves and be seen，” said Shi Xinqi，a 22-year-old part-time photographer from Xiamen，Fujian Province.In the past month，Shi has photographed over 30 clients.Rui Changchang,27，agrees.Social media platforms help him be seen and find what he has been looking for over the years.
Rui used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities，but he didn’t feel the fundamental joy that he thought photography should create.From the lighting and clothing to the professional models，everything was from an assembly line.Now，he’s a full-time photographer who spends most of his time at Universal Studios in Beijing.“It’s very fascinating to help complete strangers become comfortable in front of the camera and capture a joyful moment for them.” Rui believes that capturing connections between people is what makes photos so touching.
But this is not a one-way service.When photographers capture these moments for their customers，they also learn something about themselves.“Most of my customers are women.I often describe them as the ‘beauty and power of women’，” said Shi，relating one experience with a customer in her 30s.Shi asked her if she had any regrets in her life—to which she replied that she had none.“That woman was so confident and determined.She helped relieve my anxiety about aging，” said Shi.
However，this booming industry also has a dark side.For travel-along photographers，there are no industry standards or measures to ensure the rights of all parties.Even though the photographers are from the same city，their pricing is dramatically different.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“陪拍”行业正在蓬勃发展，介绍了不同的陪拍师以及“陪拍”行业仍然存在的问题。
28．What does a travel-along photographer mainly do

29．How is paragraph 4 developed

C．By listing examples.
D．By making a contrast.

In today’s digital age，where a vast ocean of information is just a click away，the question arises：can one learn too much because no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge.However，there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction，a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal.You begin by conducting extensive research，diving deep into the subject.As you absorb more information，it paradoxically(矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens.Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers，making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap：the endless pursuit of more information.Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable，that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot，issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application.If learning continuously prevents you from starting，you’ll find yourself stuck，unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.Gather essential information，then transition into action swiftly，even if you feel somewhat unprepared.This is often the best way to learn，as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here.A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process.Instead，it learns by attempting to walk，falling，and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t.Through repeated effort，walking is eventually mastered.This method is applicable to goal achievement too.By engaging in action，learning from the outcomes，and adjusting accordingly，you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary，while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable，it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action.Learning should be a stepping stone to doing，not an end in itself.It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。在数字时代，过量的信息会造成学习停滞的问题，因此，在学习过程中，实践经验能帮助我们更全面地理解学习的知识，从而实现目标。
32．What stops people from achieving the goal
A．The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B．The inability to find relevant information.
C．The confusion caused by the information.
D．The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“As you absorb more information，it paradoxically(矛盾地) feels like your...making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.”可知，随着人们吸收更多的信息，理解力就会变弱，每个概念或策略都显现出更深的层次，由此可知，是这些信息带来的困惑阻止了人们达到目标。故选C项。
33．What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 & paragraph 4
A．Sticking to continuous learning.
B．Taking practical action without delay.
C．Gaining as much knowledge as possible.
D．Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.Gather essential...into action swiftly...”可知，作者建议人们要立刻采取实际行动。故选B项。
34．Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in paragraph 5
A．To compare different learning styles.
B．To show the importance of making mistakes.
C．To emphasize the need for parental guidance.
D．To illustrate learning through action and experience.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“This is often the best way to learn，as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.”可知，学习的最好方法是通过实践去积累经验，结合第五段最后一句“By engaging in action，learning from...move closer to your goals.”可知，第五段通过“婴儿学习走路”的例子来解释通过行动和经验来学习这个观点。故选D项。
35．What may be the best title for the passage
A．The Harmony of Learning and Doing
B．The Process of Accessing Information
C．The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge
D．The Significance of Hands-on Experience
答案　A
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第四段第一句以及最后一段可知，在追求知识时，不能使其成为行动的障碍，由此可知，本文主要讲述在学习过程中，应将信息和实践相结合，这样能更好地实现目标，所以题目“学与做的和谐”与本文主旨相符。故选A项。

D．They discovered that if they helped each other afterwards

I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old.I still remember the day when she pulled me into the living room and said，“You are brilliant in my mind，but if you fail once don’t give up.Don’t fear failure.It is a way of getting us to try harder.You will succeed，I promise.”
She looked at me and continued，“I want you to carry this two-dollar bill for extra good luck.”
“Thanks mom，” I replied.“I will keep it close to me always.”
I am not superstitious(迷信的)，but from that day on the bill goes with me wherever I go.I firmly believe that luck would follow me everywhere.
Every morning I would get dressed and my two-dollar bill went into my pocket.My mother passed away when I was 17 years old and I remembered taking out my two-dollar bill.I held it in my hand for the longest time and knew that she would be watching over me the rest of my life.
Each time I felt I had a crisis on my hands，I would reach for my two-dollar bill and set it on the table.I would stare at it for several hours and could always come up with a solution.
When I applied for my first job，I was thirty years old and very shy.The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work.On my first interview，as I sat in the waiting room，I noticed there were five women ahead of me.All of the women were younger and very well dressed.One of them looked perfect in her blue striped suit with matching purse and shoes.I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their résumés(简历)．

参考范文
Mrs Martin，the office manager，called me into her office.“What makes you feel you are qualified for this job？” she asked.“I really need this job and there is nothing I cannot do，” I responded.She asked me a series of questions and the interview was over.As I exited her office，I turned around and said，“Mrs Martin，I know that I am not qualified like your other applicants but please give me a chance.I learn quickly and can be a very productive member of your team.” I thanked her and went home exhausted.Oh well，I thought tomorrow would be another day.
Late that afternoon，while I was cooking，the telephone rang.It was from Mrs Martin.She said，“You were not the most qualified applicant，but you have so much confidence in yourself that we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself.” I screamed out loud，jumping all over the room in disbelief.I could hear Mrs Martin laughing in the background and suddenly I realized that Mrs Martin was still on the line.“Thank you，Mrs Martin，you will not regret this decision，” I said and hung up the phone.I got my wallet and took out my two-dollar bill.“Thanks mom，I am going to make it.”I said out loud so my mother could hear me.
