I used to have a motorcycle (摩托车). One Sunday in summer, my 10-year-old daughter and I went for a ride in the countryside. We took the back roads to a park where the view was fantastic! The wind was strong enough to give more pleasure to riding the motorcycle.
Halfway through the park, the motorcycle was out of gas and stopped working, leaving my daughter and me, 20 miles from home, hopeless.
Along came a motorcyclist. He slowed, got off his motorcycle and asked what the problem was. He had long hair and didn’t look kind. Some people would have looked at him and said, “Oh, one of those unpleasant people.” But I’ve known many people like him, both good and bad, so I hoped that he was among the good ones.
When I told him about our trouble, he offered to help. I rode his motorcycle with my daughter and he pushed my motorcycle. Through hard work, we finally reached a small town next to the park.
On those days, most gas stations were closed on Sunday. They included the station in the town. My new friend jumped on his motorcycle to search for an open gas station. Before long, he was back with some gas for my motorcycle, and we were on our way again! Without accepting my payment for the gas he’d bought for us, he just rode away.
24. What problem did the author have after arriving in the town
A．She found no gas station in the town.
B．She failed to buy gas anywhere nearby.
C．She couldn’t afford the gas successfully.
D．She drove to the town by the wrong path.
25. Which statement is True according to Paragraph 3
A．The motorcyclist’s motorcycle was out of gas.
B．The motorcyclist left a bad impression on the author.
C．The author was not sure if the man was a good one.
D．The author was good at communicating with others.
26. Which of the following can best describe the man
A．Open-minded. B．Humorous. C．Brave. D．Warm-hearted.
27. What is the purpose of the text
A．To explain ways to solve accidents.
B．To introduce a beautiful park.
C．To show the hardships of travelling.
D．To honour a kind motorcyclist.

Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person.
The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticize the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. Over time, the child may learn that love is conditional. They may hide their real feelings, stop exploring their own interests, and start to believe, “I am not worthy.”
Experts describe three common signs. The first is psychological control. When the child sets a boundary or feels upset, the parent may say, “You’re too sensitive,” and turn the blame back onto the child. This often creates a sense of guilt. The second is unpredictable mood swings. The parent can be warm one day and cold the next, making the child feel like they are “walking on eggshells”. In adulthood, this may lead to people-pleasing and weak boundaries. The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically. As a result, the child may grow up too fast and miss out on a normal childhood.
Healing takes time, but it is possible. The first step is to be kinder to yourself and reconnect with your own interests. Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary. After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A．To offer the solutions. B．To describe a study.
C．To raise an issue. D．To explain the causes.
29. What does “peacock parenting” in paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A．Giving children unconditional family love secretly.
B．Teaching children to express real thoughts honestly.
C．Helping kids explore personal interests bravely.
D．Showing off the family image for public praise.
30. Which sign best matches “role reversal” in paragraph 3
A．The parent praises the child in public.
B．The parent relies on the child for support.
C．The child tries to win others’ approval.
D．The child avoids setting any boundaries.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Cut off contact with parents completely to stay safe.
B．Try their best to win parents’ unconditional love again.
C．Move out immediately to find warmer places outside.
D．Build firm personal boundaries and seek proper support.
D
Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right.
The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries.
The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls.
The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world.
The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses would be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said.
The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song.
When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries.
32. What did the participants do in the first study
A．They distinguished functions of the songs.
B．They identified the cultural origins of the songs.
C．They recognized the non-musical features of the songs.
D．They compared the rhythms from diverse music styles.
33. What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Were equal to. B．Were similar to. C．Were superior to. D．Were opposite to.
34. Why did the researchers carry out the second study
A．To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience.
B．To collect more diverse songs from various cultures.
C．To confirm the surprising results from the first one.
D．To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings.
35. What can we learn from the two studies
A．Listeners recognize music by its rhythm.
B．Something about music might be universal.
C．Dance music is usually slower and simpler.
D．Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features.

It was our first time exploring a foreign country on our own, without a tour guide leading the way. My friend Doris and I had a week-long tour there and believed we could explore this town alone then. After breakfast, we confidently started the trip. After a full day of exciting exploration, the sky turned from clear blue to gray, with dark clouds gathering.
As we walked along the ancient street to our hotel, raindrops began falling. Everyone around us took cover. “Should we take a taxi ” I asked aloud, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “It’s only a ten-minute walk, and let’s go much faster,” Doris shouted back.
As the rain and wind increased, we quickened our pace. The ancient street was soon covered with deep water that quickly made our shoes totally wet. Suddenly, the big thunder sounded! Dusk had turned into total darkness, which was only interrupted by the sudden lightning from the sky. Finally, we realized we had been walking for a much longer time than it should have taken us to reach the hotel. We had taken a wrong turn somewhere. We were lost! What’s worse, both of our cell phones were powered off, so we couldn’t call for help,and the street was empty.
Shocked, we headed back down the street, wishing to find the right direction. It was still raining cats and dogs. Our clothes and bags were completely wet. Later looking out into the darkness through the shrubs (灌木) along the street, we realized we had come to a residential neighborhood. “Let’s just wait for a minute,” Doris said.
As we stood under a tree, some headlights appeared. A car pulled up just about a few meters away by the street. Soon, a woman got out of the car.
注意：

Nowadays, it is common that many students suffer from eye strain. In my opinion, this problem deserves our great attention.
Spending too much time reading books and staring at electronic screens makes our eyes tired easily, which may lead to poor eyesight and affect our study and daily life.
To protect our eyes, we should take a break every hour to look at distant green plants. Besides, doing eye exercises regularly and keeping a proper reading posture are also effective ways. Let’s protect our eyes from now on.
读后续写范文
Then, I walked towards the woman with hope. I explained our awkward situation nervously, telling her that we got lost in the heavy rain and had no way to contact others. The kind woman comforted us gently and said she was familiar with the neighborhood. She tried her best to tell us the correct route to the hotel in detail, hoping we could find our way back soon.
I found her explanation of directions only confused us, however hard she tried. Seeing our helpless looks, the woman decided to drive us to the hotel personally. Warmth flooded our hearts. On the way, she chatted with us to ease our anxiety. Soon we arrived safely. We expressed our sincere thanks repeatedly. This unforgettable experience taught me that kindness is always around us, even in strange places and bad weather.
