二、阅读理解
Passage A
Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements Or will they see the big word “fail” in red The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning.
Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself.
This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little.
21. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern
A．Pressure from choosing AP classes.
B．Performance in group interviews.
C．Competition with seniors.
D．Recognition by colleges.
22. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______.
A．her own understanding of success
B．her desire for academic challenges
C．her strong urge to follow the crowd
D．her dream of entering a top university
23. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview
A．Dignifying. B．Rewarding. C．Engaging. D．Relaxing.
24. What can we learn from this passage
A．Everyone is the maker of their own success.
B．Success favours those with a golden heart.
C．Success knocks at your door only once.
D．A college holds the key to success.
Passage B
In today’s world, the Internet has become an essential part of our daily life. It connects people from all over the globe, allowing us to communicate, share, and explore new ideas. Despite its demanding nature, this digital platform is rewarding for those who use it sensibly. In addition, the impact of the Internet on society cannot be ignored. It not only digitizes information but also transforms how we interact with each other.
One of the most significant advantages of the Internet is that it allows individuals to admit their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment based on gender or any other identity. This sense of privacy encourages a deeper, more meaningful exchange of ideas. However, it is important to note that some interactions can be shallow and trivial, which is why it is crucial to use the Internet in a way that respects others and promotes positive communication.

These avatars, which are images that represent a user, can be a fun and engaging way to explore one’s identity and connect with others.
Moreover, the Internet has a profound impact on education. Students can access a wealth of resources and information, making learning more accessible and interactive. Teachers can use the Internet to enhance their lessons and provide students with a more engaging and dynamic educational experience. The ability to explore and learn in this way is truly a testament to the power of the Internet.
In conclusion, the Internet is a powerful tool that has transformed the way we live and interact. It is up to us to use it in a way that is both sensible and respectful. By doing so, we can ensure that the Internet remains a positive and enriching part of our lives.

A Night at Sea
The storm hit suddenly as my father and I sailed back home in our small boat. One huge wave crashed over the side, knocking the engine out and filling the boat with water. We had no radio, no life raft, and only a small flashlight.

As the sun rose, the storm died down. We were far from shore, floating in calm water. Just as I was about to give up hope, my father pointed to a dot on the horizon. It was a fishing boat. We waved our flashlight until they saw us. They pulled us aboard and gave us warm soup and dry clothes.
That day taught me that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but choosing to keep going even when you are afraid.

五、书面表达范文
Dear Tom,
I’m sorry to know you were trapped in heavy rain during hiking last week and still feel frightened. I can fully understand your feeling, for I once went through a similar scary experience.
Last spring, I hiked alone in a mountain area. Unexpected heavy fog covered the whole mountain, making me lose my way. I stayed calm and followed a stream downhill. After two hours’ walking, I finally met a local villager who led me back safely.
Here are several useful safety suggestions for outdoor activities. First, check the weather forecast in advance and take waterproof clothes. Second, never hike alone; go with partners and prepare power banks and first-aid kits. Third, mark your route and keep in touch with your family all the time.
Hope these tips will be helpful to you. Wish you safe and pleasant outdoor trips in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
