My grandfather was a strong man. He worked as a carpenter all his life. One day, when he was in his late seventies, he told me about an incident that happened when he was a teenager.
He was walking in the woods one afternoon and came across a small, injured bird. It had fallen from its nest and couldn’t fly. My grandfather, with his kind heart, decided to take it home and nurse it back to health. He made a little box for it and fed it every day. After a few weeks, the bird was fully recovered and could fly again. My grandfather took it outside and set it free. As he watched the bird soar into the sky, he felt a great sense of satisfaction.
Years later, during a particularly harsh winter, my grandfather was out in the forest cutting wood. The snow was deep, and it was very cold. Suddenly, he heard a familiar chirping sound. Looking up, he saw a bird flying above him. It circled around him a few times and then dropped a small twig at his feet. My grandfather was amazed. He believed it was the same bird he had saved all those years ago, now coming back to show its gratitude.

The Internet has changed the way we learn English. In the past, students could only use textbooks and dictionaries. Now, there are many online resources that can help.
One big advantage of online learning is that you can study at your own pace. You can watch videos, listen to podcasts, and practice with interactive (互动的) exercises anytime, anywhere. There are also apps that can correct your pronunciation instantly. Moreover, you can connect with native speakers through language exchange websites and apps.
However, there are also some challenges. With so much information online, it can be difficult to know which resources are reliable. Also, some students may get distracted (使分心) by games and social media. Therefore, it is important to stay focused and choose high-quality learning materials.
Overall, the Internet is a powerful tool for language learners. If used wisely, it can greatly improve your English skills.

The American Psychological Association (APA) has issued its first report on teens’ social media use. What’s most surprising in its databased recommendations is how little we know about how social media apps affect our kids. The relative newness of some platforms means little research is available about their long-term effects on teen brains. Getting better data will require significant funding and much more openness from tech companies.
What little evidence we do have unsurprisingly suggests that social media apply motivators that aren’t great for young brains. “Many kids’ first exposure to social media occurs at the worst possible time when it comes to brain development,” says Mitch Prinstein, a psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina.
“The impacts of things such as the ‘like’ button and artificial intelligence on young brains are completely different from those on adult brains when it comes to the desire to stay online and to say or do almost anything to get followers,” says Prinstein. When it comes to social interactions, he compares kids’ brains to a car with a huge gas pedal and weak brakes (刹车).
Earlier this year, Prinstein and his colleagues published the results of one of the first studies of how teen brains react to social media. The team surveyed a group of middle schoolers to understand their social media habits, and then stuck them in an MRI machine to watch their brains. They found that those who habitually checked social media had distinct neural patterns, with more activity over time in parts of the brain associated with motivation, attention and cognitive (认知的) control.
The team didn’t say whether those differences were good or bad, or whether the relationship was causal or correlational. But their work points to the need for more research. It also reminds parents of the need to be keenly aware of social media’s hidden influences on still-developing brains.
32. What does the APA report show about social media apps
A．The dishonesty of their developers.
B．The lack of data on their influences.
C．The limitations of their applications.
D．The ineffectiveness of their motivators.
33. Which word can best describe teen brains during social interactions
A．Uncontrolled.
B．Sensitive.
C．Unconscious.
D．Productive.
34. What did Prinstein’s team discover about teens often using social media
A．Their cognitive abilities are low.
B．They are usually highly motivated.
C．Their brains show unique features.
D．They find it difficult to concentrate.
35. What is the best title for the text
A．The ways to guide teens to employ social media
B．The importance of healthy social media habits
C．The hidden effects of social media on teen brains
D．The necessity of studying teen brain development
第二节 七选五
The first writing was invented in Babylon more than 5,000 years ago. ___36___ Soon after, people cut reeds (芦苇) to make dip-pens to use with ink.
Around 2,500 years ago, people started using the feather for writing. No one knows exactly who first had the idea. ___37___ They were the main writing tool until metal pens appeared.
In fact, the word “pen” comes from the Latin penna, meaning “feather”. ___38___ A writing feather has to be specially prepared. So how do feathers become pens
The first step is to collect a hard feather. Then take a sharp knife and cut the feathery part off, leaving just a bare tube. Slice the end off at an angle. At the same time, use a wire or long needle to clear the stuff inside the stick of the feather. ___39___ You still need to cut a small flat end across the pointed tip and cut a short slit (狭缝) in the end. As you press the pointed tip down on the paper, the slit opens slightly to let ink run down. Finally, curve the sides of the cut end and cut the end to a sharp point. A fresh feather pen is, therefore, ready for words. But users have to cut the pen many times a day, as the tip wears down during writing.
___40___ They don’t mind — they naturally drop their feathers, and grow new ones if any are pulled out to make pens.
A．You can’t just take a feather and dip it in ink.
B．It takes many years to develop a feather into a pen.
C．The feather is naturally empty inside for holding ink.
D．But feather pens became especially popular in Europe.
E．The last step is to decide where you collect the feathers.
F．People there used a little stick to press shapes into soft clay.
G．Most feather pens are made from the large flight feathers of birds.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school. On turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go home quietly and not meddle with (管闲事) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together and I don't want them to worry about us.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down on Henry and didn't want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behaviour, because he knew that they misunderstood him. Thus, he just ignored the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him.
Paragraph 1:
It seemed as if Robert would be dying.

Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert's life was saved.

Thus, Robert's life was saved. Robert felt so ashamed and realized his mistake. He knew true bravery was not rushing to watch a fight, but staying calm and doing the right thing. He apologized to Henry sincerely. From then on, they became good friends again and got along well with each other.
