The smell of old paper is a memory that never leaves you. I learned this over forty years as the owner of a bookstore “The Owl’s Nest”, a legendary fixture (传奇老店) on a brick street that time forgot. Now, as I tape shut the final cardboard box, all the stories pass through the doors of the store.
I opened the shop in 1979. Back then, bunches of customers were attracted to come with author names written on paper, and we’d dive into the shelves together, pulling out dusty books. Regulars came not just for books, but for human warmth: shared silence over poetry, and a kind clerk’s sincere recommendations.
By the early 2000s, things had changed. Customers browsed (翻阅) our shelves, and then pulled out phones to order the same books online for less. It was a heartbreak — seeing a book loved in person, but left behind for a better price.
Survival demanded adaptation. My daughter, Sarah, fresh out of college, pushed me to join the very world that competed with us. We created an account @OwlsNestBooks, and started sharing not just new arrivals, but updates of the shop’s life: a photo of a cat napping in the sunlight by the comics, a quote from a beloved novel, and a rare first edition we’d just acquired.
To my surprise, people responded. A woman in Toronto recalled buying her favorite childhood book from us decades ago. A young man in London asked for recommendations for a gift. The real turning point came when I saw a post by a young man online — he’d shared an old photo taken at our physical bookstore years before, one that showed him proposing to his girlfriend right in the history aisle (过道). The photo had clear little details of our store, making it immediately recognizable to anyone who’d ever stepped foot in it. I shared his post with a heartfelt comment, and the story behind this warm moment spread far and wide. Our online bookstore account gained hundreds of new followers that very day. It was then that I realized people weren’t just looking for a book from us; they were buying into a story, a sense of belonging tied to our little physical store that once brought so many people joy.
4. What attracted customers to the bookstore in the early days
A．Its low prices. B．Its large collection of books.
C．Its pleasant environment. D．Its warm human connection.
5. How did the bookstore survive in new times
A．By cutting costs sharply. B．By running a social media account.
C．By enlarging physical space. D．By working together with other bookstores.
6. Why did the proposal event become the turning point
A．It helped the store reopen soon. B．It sold lots of old books at once.
C．It brought many new visitors to the store. D．It won many new followers online.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Sad Fall of an Old Bookstore B．Sweet Memories of Old Paper Books
C．A Traditional Bookstore’s Road to Survival
D．The Impact of Online Shopping on Bookstores

In the UK, memorial (纪念的) chairs are a unique and great way to remember people, often used to remember the dead, honor important persons, or mark special events. This culture combines useful everyday objects with memorial meanings, saving memories of the one who passed away in a gentle way that avoids the possible heaviness of traditional monuments (纪念碑).
Memorial chairs are used in a wide range of places: in public spaces such as community parks, libraries, schools, or churches, it is common to see chairs carved with the name of the dead, their birth and death years, and a short message (e. g. “A beloved soul” or “Forever remembered”). For example, some schools place memorial chairs for teachers who did great things, allowing students and visitors to remember their work while resting. In some cities, seaside walks or parks also have such chairs, given by the families of those who died. The words written on the seat or backrest allow relatives and friends to show their love, and even strangers passing by can sense the stories behind them.
The popularity of this practice mainly comes from what the British believe in — “quiet remembering” and “continuity of life”. Memorial chairs are not separate from daily life but part of it. People may come across these messages while using the chairs, letting memories live on in everyday moments, while also adding a human touch to public spaces. Besides, these chairs are usually made to look nice and be practical, often made of strong wood or metal, so they can last long and fit well with the environment.
In recent years, the culture of memorial chairs has richer meanings. Besides remembering individuals, some chairs are used to remember group events such as soldiers who died in wars or people lost in public health incidents, becoming a way to bring people together and pass on historical memories. This clever mixing of memory and usefulness, personal feelings and public spaces, makes Britain’s memorial chair culture both unique and full of warmth.
8. What does the underlined word “heaviness” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Weight. B．Awkwardness. C．Burden. D．Sadness.
9. What is the function of the words on memorial chairs
A．Adding beauty to chairs. B．Passing down historic events.
C．Linking people to past stories. D．Offering a better rest experience.
10. What is the major reason for the memorial chairs being popular in the UK
A．They fit public spaces. B．They are made beautiful.
C．They last for a long time. D．They show people’s beliefs.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce the unique memorial chair culture in Britain.
B．To compare UK’s memorial chairs with traditional monuments.
C．To explore the origin and development of UK’s memorial chairs.
D．To analyze why memorial chairs are popular in UK public spaces.

Why Do Millennials (千禧一代) Keep Changing Jobs
Millennials have been labelled as the “job-hopping generation”. In fact, a recent survey showed that 49% of millennials would leave their job within the next two years! Observers from older generations may think it is caused by the youth’s laziness. However, if we search deeper, there is more than meets the eye.
Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better salaries or greater job stability (稳定), many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals. For example, more have to seek new opportunities whenever they lack a sense of belonging in their present jobs. Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better suit their value system. Therefore, it is clear that many millennials do not only consider their jobs as a source of income, but in fact, seek meaning and professional achievement in their daily jobs.
Clearly, the fearlessness of millennials in seeking job opportunities has been inspired by new business models. With the rise of online platforms, millennials who prefer work-life balance and flexibility have been attracted towards such jobs. Moreover, the increase of social media has also created more career paths. From food and travel bloggers to YouTube content creators, more millennials are leaving boring desk-bound jobs to look for more untraditional, but certainly attractive, careers.
However, people have different opinions on job-hopping. While some employers value rich experience and skills that job-hopping brings about, many of them still look down upon job-hopping. Some even argue in disappointment that the youths of today are lazy, unable to bear hardships and too self-centered.
The former American President Jimmy Carter once said, “Human identity is no longer defined (定义) by what one does but by what one owns.” Indeed, his comment still rings true today. Rather than allow traditional models of success in society to define our youths, the millennial generation should be encouraged to define new horizons of success by making the right career choices guided by the right values.
12. Why are Millennials more likely to move to new jobs
A．Because they are unwilling to work very hard.
B．Because they want to realize their self-worth.
C．Because they hate pressure from present jobs.
D．Because they need higher income and position.
13. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3
A．The rapid development of social media promotes new career paths.
B．There are fewer professions available to Millennials on the Internet.
C．There are factors contributing to Millennials’ flexible job-changing.
D．The tiring and boring jobs prevent Millennials staying in one position.
14. What may those against job-changing think of Millennials
A．Courageous and noble. B．Lazy and self-centered.
C．Anxious and unconfident. D．Creative and hard-working.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Millennials’ career choice
A．Negative. B．Doubtful. C．Positive. D．Concerned.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.

One day, however, Mary came with good news. The city would hold a youth singing contest, and the stage was equipped with a special ramp for wheelchairs. She told Jane her voice was still brilliant and she should not give up her dream. Jane hesitated at first, worrying she would look strange on stage. Mary and I encouraged her constantly. Finally, Jane agreed to sign up and began daily singing practice again with Mary’s help.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. The warm spotlight fell on her. She took a deep breath and began to sing. Her soft, sweet voice spread through the whole hall, touching every audience. When she finished, loud applause burst out. Jane smiled through tears, realizing disability could never take away her love for singing. Her long-hidden dream finally bloomed again.
