Ian Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States.When he first started playing with the team in 2017，he was looking for pictures to hang in his home.An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.
Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field(瑞格利球场)，the team’s ballpark，from a different artistic vision.He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like，from the field.He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans.So，from his point of view，he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field.Instead of having pictures hung in his home，the partnership led to something quite different.
Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project，Through My Eyes，in which fans could purchase prints.The money made in this way went toward those people in need.The drawings by Vale became See What I See，an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery.The show lasted a period of time.
Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field.Vale knew little about the sport of baseball.But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field.Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard.He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players.He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.
Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail.He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ，who would mark them up in red ink，like a teacher，with suggestions.It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.

The rich aroma of freshly roasted coffee filled the air inside a quaint stone cabin in the eastern Chinese village that houses Frank Sterzer’s café：Bamboo Coffee Roasters.
After more than 20 years as an engineer and executive with leading automobile companies in Germany and China，Frank has found a new calling and fulfillment in the village of Maoli near Ningbo in Zhejiang province.Inspired by his lifelong love of coffee，a passion for roasting beans prompted Frank to turn what had been a hobby into a thriving business.“Zhejiang’s countryside has excellent infrastructure(基础设施) and beautiful landscapes，and I find it the ideal place to start my business，” Frank says.Maoli is located less than a 30-minute drive from the Ningbo city center，striking a pleasing balance between urban convenience and rural peace.
For Frank，the experience of sipping a cup of coffee while enjoying a slice of handmade cake and gazing at the countryside，captures the type of peaceful lifestyle he hopes to share with visitors.“Bamboo Coffee Roasters is a place to share the charm of this mountain village with visitors from all over the world，” he explains.
The café is named after the abundance of bamboo around Maoli，while its logo was inspired by a photograph Frank took of a nearby bamboo forest.He has also created a small coffee factory behind the shop front，where excellent beans from around the world are neatly stacked next to gently humming roasting machines.He roasts 10 metric tons a year.All these have become key components of the café’s success.
Since opening in June 2024，Bamboo Coffee Roasters has quickly become a popular destination，attracting visitors from near and far including international travelers taking advantage of China’s expanded visa-free policies.Frank’s own family took advantage of this policy，with his mother and siblings visiting last year.
Before the Spring Festival，the café was welcoming guests from all over，including nearby cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai.“We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and businesses，purchasing local produce.Products such as honey oranges，bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets，thanks to the café’s popularity，” one tourist said.
28．What made Frank set up the café in Maoli
A．China’s expanded visa-free policies for international travelers.
B．The village’s outstanding facilities and picturesque sceneries.
C．Frank’s newly found enthusiasm for coffee and roasting beans.
D．The combination of urban convenience with rural booming industry.
29．What does the underlined word “capture” in paragraph 3 most nearly mean
A．Accurately records.
B．Perfectly conveys.
C．Totally takes control of.
D．Firmly seizes.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Origins of Bamboo Coffee Roasters.
B．The hardships of running the business.
C．The operation of Frank’s business.
D．The vast profit earned from the business.
31．Why does the author mention the tourist’s remark in the last paragraph
A．To tell us the popularity of Frank’s business enhanced local economy.
B．To prove guests from all over promoted Frank’s business.
C．To share with readers the intense interest of tourists in exploring Ningbo.
D．To advertise for the local businesses to promote the sale of local produce.

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

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纸的相应位置作答。
Mrs Martin，the office manager，called me into her office.

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.

Ian Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States.When he first started playing with the team in 2017，he was looking for pictures to hang in his home.An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.
Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field(瑞格利球场)，the team’s ballpark，from a different artistic vision.He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like，from the field.He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans.So，from his point of view，he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field.Instead of having pictures hung in his home，the partnership led to something quite different.
Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project，Through My Eyes，in which fans could purchase prints.The money made in this way went toward those people in need.The drawings by Vale became See What I See，an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery.The show lasted a period of time.
Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field.Vale knew little about the sport of baseball.But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field.Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard.He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players.He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.
Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail.He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ，who would mark them up in red ink，like a teacher，with suggestions.It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.

The rich aroma of freshly roasted coffee filled the air inside a quaint stone cabin in the eastern Chinese village that houses Frank Sterzer’s café：Bamboo Coffee Roasters.
After more than 20 years as an engineer and executive with leading automobile companies in Germany and China，Frank has found a new calling and fulfillment in the village of Maoli near Ningbo in Zhejiang province.Inspired by his lifelong love of coffee，a passion for roasting beans prompted Frank to turn what had been a hobby into a thriving business.“Zhejiang’s countryside has excellent infrastructure(基础设施) and beautiful landscapes，and I find it the ideal place to start my business，” Frank says.Maoli is located less than a 30-minute drive from the Ningbo city center，striking a pleasing balance between urban convenience and rural peace.
For Frank，the experience of sipping a cup of coffee while enjoying a slice of handmade cake and gazing at the countryside，captures the type of peaceful lifestyle he hopes to share with visitors.“Bamboo Coffee Roasters is a place to share the charm of this mountain village with visitors from all over the world，” he explains.
The café is named after the abundance of bamboo around Maoli，while its logo was inspired by a photograph Frank took of a nearby bamboo forest.He has also created a small coffee factory behind the shop front，where excellent beans from around the world are neatly stacked next to gently humming roasting machines.He roasts 10 metric tons a year.All these have become key components of the café’s success.
Since opening in June 2024，Bamboo Coffee Roasters has quickly become a popular destination，attracting visitors from near and far including international travelers taking advantage of China’s expanded visa-free policies.Frank’s own family took advantage of this policy，with his mother and siblings visiting last year.
Before the Spring Festival，the café was welcoming guests from all over，including nearby cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai.“We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and businesses，purchasing local produce.Products such as honey oranges，bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets，thanks to the café’s popularity，” one tourist said.

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。
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。
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。
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。

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)．

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.
