As a child, I dreamed of being Jane Goodall, living among chimpanzees (黑猩猩). However, life led me down a different path. I went to law school, but I quickly realized my heart wasn’t in it. I dropped out by Thanksgiving.
Later, inspired by a scientist teaching a chimp named Sarah to communicate, I volunteered in his lab. There, I met Sarah, lonely and unhappy. I felt a strong urge to connect with her. I held out my finger and said, “Turn around, and I’ll scratch (挠) your back.” Sarah surprisingly turned, allowing me to scratch her back through the bars. This moment made me reflect on Jane Goodall’s spirit and the chimps’ well-being. Soon after, I discovered my life’s mission: humane education.
Unknown to me then, Jane Goodall herself was also shifting from scientific research to humane education. She realized the best way to protect chimps and ecosystems was through teaching. She founded Roots and Shoots, a global program that has inspired millions of children to act for a better world. Jane devoted the last half-century of her life to tirelessly teaching about building a humane, peaceful world. She became the most famous and respected humane educator globally, spreading a message of kindness through action.
I was fortunate to meet Jane a few times and even speak alongside her. It was a great honor when she wrote the foreword for my book, significantly boosting its reach.
The world has lost one of its best, an incredible supporter for animals and a groundbreaking advocate for humane education. Yet, Jane left us everything needed for us to carry on her legacy (遗产). Jane once wrote: “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Millions have been touched by her. If Jane Goodall impacted you, I hope you will consider what kind of difference you want to make, and then go make that difference.

Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education.
In 2004, Wu became headmaster of Tangfang Primary School in Baling Town, Guizhou Province. At that time, the school was merely an old house, with 3 teachers and 75 students. Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports. In 2006, the school held its first sports meeting. “We carried a cement slab (水泥板) from 1.5 kilometers away and used wooden boards as a net for a table tennis competition,” Wu recalled.
With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities. Now, basketball hoops (篮圈) are designed in three different sizes to suit students of different age groups, while sports equipment storage facilities are never locked up. Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot yield to other subjects.
Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.
Wu hopes that the happy school memories will help graduates stay connected to their hometown and get ready for their future.
8. What inspired Wu to think of sports as a solution
A．Rich sports resources.
B．Requirements from teachers.
C．Students' lack of interest in study.
D．Children's stress from examinations.
9. What does the underlined phrase "yield to" in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Compare with.
B．Give in to.
C．Contribute to.
D．Take the place of.
10. Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4
A．To show progress in grades.
B．To highlight influences of sports.
C．To stress the importance of study.
D．To introduce types of sports activities.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Headmaster Transformed School With Sports
B．A Unique Physical Education Class
C．Students Made Breakthroughs in Competition
D．The Life Story of a Headmaster
D
Despite the fact that there has never been so much wealth or so many wealthy people in the world, many of the world’s poor people still live in material and energy poverty. Could you and I cut back on our consumption (消耗) so as to make some space for others to increase theirs
I am sure we could. But, unfortunately, everything about our economic systems is set up to make us believe and behave otherwise. The default (默认) mindset is that there is nothing wrong with wanting ever newer and more expensive things as long as we can afford them.
Look around you for a moment. No society anywhere before lived like this. Further, since our spending must necessarily be someone else’s income, we tell ourselves that we actually make the world a better place every time we buy another pair of shoes or trade in a car for the latest model. And that’s the tug (拉) of war that plays itself out cruelly in our lives, as one side of our age cries out “less”, and from the other side comes the answering cry “more”.
Of course, wanting to live a better life is deeply ingrained in human nature. Otherwise, we would never have generated the progress that has brought us to our present station.
But now we should think deeply about how and why we consume.
After all, even the earliest thinkers in the history of economic—including Adam Smith—thought, having more does not always translate into being happier. Evidence shows that many people in the developing world, despite being hard-up, report being just as happy as those in the materially rich societies of the West.
So what now The answer, perhaps, is to try to be rich in the enjoyment of things, not in the accumulation (堆积) of them. A pair of good shoes, lightly creased (起皱) but also carefully polished (擦亮) once a month; a meal cooked at home instead of a trip to McDonald’s—such as these lie our act of saving from the virus of compulsive (强迫性的) consumption.
12. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs
A．People tend to buy things unreasonably.
B．People refuse to cut down on consumption.
C．People all face material and energy poverty.
D．People believe in political and economic systems.
13. What does the underlined word “ingrained” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Held.
B．Rooted.
C．Changed.
D．Possessed.
14. What does the author suggest
A．Trying to be rich.
B．The more, the better.
C．Enjoying what we have.
D．Focusing on the compulsive consumption.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Entertainment.
B．Health.
C．Education.
D．Economy.

Unlike the IQ, emotional intelligence is something we can develop with practice and time. ____16____. Here are some ways to improve emotional intelligence.

五、书面表达（读后续写）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But they are doing well in their life. You keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (深思) the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” Over the years my mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was: “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.” Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear ” I was surprised when she asked me this on this occasion.
I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. How you answer it shows whether you have learnt about life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you that you were wrong and I have given you the reasons. But today is the day you will know the answer.” I looked puzzled. “All your previous answers — ears, eyes, hands, heart... They are all very important to yourself. But this time I need you to think of something that is important to others.”
Paragraph 1: “My dear, the most important body part,” she said, “is your shoulder.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: “Mum, I understand. And you can cry on my shoulder too.”

五、读后续写 参考范文
Paragraph 1: “My dear, the most important body part,” she said, “is your shoulder.” She explained gently that it was there to hold up the head of a friend or family member when they cried. Everyone needed a shoulder to lean on when they felt sad and helpless. Grandpa had once relied on her shoulder when he lost his own parent, and today all of us cried on each other’s shoulders to ease grief. It was not for ourselves but for giving comfort to people we loved. I listened quietly, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Paragraph 2: “Mum, I understand. And you can cry on my shoulder too.” My mother’s eyes turned wet with warmth. I moved closer and let her rest her head on my shoulder. At that moment, I truly realized the meaning of the shoulder: it stands for care, support and love. Whenever people around me suffer pain, I will offer my shoulder without hesitation, just as my mother taught me. This small part of the body carries the most precious warmth between people.
