It was a cold and cloudy afternoon at the end of winter. I put on my hockey pads, picked up my bag and ran towards the car. My heart was racing because I was getting ready to try out for the Boston Junior Team.
“Dad,” as we drove, I said, “I’m really nervous. Will I make it ”
“You’ll do fine, Emily,” he said to me comfortingly. “I know what kind of player you are. No matter what, give your all.”
“OK,” I answered.
When I arrived at the rink (冰场), I greeted some friends who were also trying out. I tied my skates and carefully stepped out onto the ice. After a while, we were divided into two teams, and the match started. I tried to stay focused but still felt nervous. I messed up a few times. Sometimes I passed too early, took a bad shot, or didn’t make a play I probably should have. I felt like my skates had minds of their own, but I remembered what my dad said: I should give my all. I kept trying to make the best play possible. My dad’s words pushed me to keep going.
After the match, some players were pleased, while others seemed to be in the same situation as me, feeling like their playing was awful. I got home and told my parents that I didn’t think I would make the team, and I went to sleep without dinner.
As I was eating breakfast the next morning, my mother, to my surprise, walked into the kitchen with a wide smile on her face.
“The coach just emailed me. You’ve made it!”she said excitedly.
I was so relieved (如释重负) and shocked at the same time. I got up and hugged her, then read the email for myself, still unable to believe it was true.
That day, I realized that I may not be the most talented person there, but if I try my hardest, I can do anything.
24. How did the writer feel before the match started
A. Confident. B. Excited. C. Nervous. D. Angry.
25. During the match, Emily ________.
A. made some mistakes B. talked with her father again
C. asked her coach for help D. broke her skates by accident
26. From her experience, Emily learned about ________.
A. the value of talent B. the power of putting in full effort

Before the invention of air-conditioning, southern China’s skywells played a key role in keeping people’s homes cool. Could they do it again today
A skywell, or “tian jing”, is a typical feature (特色) of a traditional home in southern and eastern China, which can date back to Ming and Qing dynasties. A skywell is almost always in the center of a house. It is enclosed by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. It acts as a transitional (过渡的) space between indoor life and the outdoor environment.
Skywells were designed to cool buildings. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. As the cool outdoor air travels down the walls to the lower storeys, it replaces warmer indoor air, enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool. Even when there is no natural wind, air circulation (循环) still takes place, because the temperature is different between the top and bottom of the skywell. Moreover, another part of the cooling effect comes from the evaporation (蒸发) of water. People collect rainwater in their skywells, and when the water evaporates, it cools hot air.
Today, although fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses, some designers take a new interest in the traditional Chinese buildings. They are getting creative ideas from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler. One example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan, which was completed in 2022. The 18-storey glass-walled tower block has a huge skywell in the middle, from the fifth to the top floor. The lifts, toilets and meeting rooms are all set around the skywell, which helps improve the lighting and air circulation of the building and cut the overall use of energy.
Although ancient “green wisdom” like skywells has caught more attention of modern Chinese people, there are some challenges for bringing skywells into modern designs. For one thing, traditional skywells highly depend on their natural conditions, like how much sunlight or rainfall in the area, so adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to fully consider their projects’ situations. Meanwhile, lighting, air conditioning and water supply have become so convenient that we depend on them with little care about the environmental cost. So it won’t be easy to be green by learning from the past without considering our present behaviours.
27. What do we know about skywells
A. Skywells are typical in western China. B. Skywells are enclosed by glass on four sides.
C. Natural wind is kept out of the house by skywells.
D. Water evaporation in skywells takes the heat away.
28. Why does the writer mention the 18-storey glass-walled tower block in Paragraph 4
A. To show that skywell design can be creatively used in modern buildings.
B. To prove that modern skywells are different from the traditional ones.
C. To present how glass walls can improve the lighting of buildings.
D. To explain why fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses.
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Skywells: A Traditional Design to Be Protected
B. Skywells: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times C. Skywells: A Green Structure to Be Improved
D. Skywells: Modern Technology for City Lives
D
In the face of all kinds of changes in nature and life, our survival and development have been closely tied to our complexity. An idea called self-complexity refers to people’s thoughts about their different roles. It is the key to a strong and lasting identity (the sense of self) which can help us go through unexpected changes we all face.
With self-complexity, people have developed various parts to their identities. For example, imagine a woman who sees herself as student, wife, daughter and tennis player and who has a wide variety of life experiences. Social scientists would say that she has high self-complexity. On the other hand, a man who regards himself only as a student or only as a member of the hockey team and who has limited life experiences would be said to have low self-complexity. For those with high self-complexity, the various parts of the self are separate. This means the positive and negative thoughts about a certain part of the self won’t affect (影响) thoughts about other parts.
A large body of research shows that if you depend too much on any one part of the self, you will become fragile. When one’s identity connects too closely with the only one part that he cares deeply, then one will easily get stressed and burnt out when unexpected changes appear. This is especially true for an athlete during periods of change when his main—and all too often, only—sense of identity feels at risk. Yet while it may be heightened for athletes, it’s a pattern that holds true in all walks of life: if you want to be excellent and experience something fully, then you’ve got to go all in, but only to a point.
If your identity becomes too involved in any one part, then you are likely to suffer when things change. So what you need to do is to challenge yourself to put the various parts of your identity into a whole. This allows you to emphasize (强调) and reemphasize certain parts of your identity at different periods of time. The result is a fluid (流动的) sense of self.
Developing a fluid sense of self doesn’t mean you can be careless or just do things without effort. Caring deeply about the people, activities, and projects you love is undoubtedly the key to a rich and meaningful life. The problem is not caring deeply; it is when your identity is too closely fixed to any single goal.
30. Which most probably shows you have high self-complexity
A. You complete your science project with music on.
B. You turn to the people around you when in trouble.
C. You make an effort to improve English through practice.
D. You keep a balance between schoolwork and sports training.
31. The word “fragile” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. cold B. lazy C. weak D. careless
32. What can we learn from the passage
A. Most people get stressed out more easily than athletes.
B. A strong identity comes from going all in for a single goal.
C. Doing well in one area betters other parts of a person’s identity.
D. Developing a fluid sense of self helps deal with unexpected changes.
33. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To introduce different ways to face challenges.
B. To stress the importance of trying hard in one area.
C. To remind us to care about various parts of the self.
D. To discuss the meaning of a strong and lasting identity.

At-home Farming in Cities
Farming used to be an attraction in the countryside. But nowadays, farms can even be found high up on balconies (阳台) in cities. According to a recent report, sales of vegetable seeds, soil, and gardening tools have doubled compared with the same period last year. Among the people buying them, most were born after 1995.
Zhang Chao, from Anhui province, is a young “city farmer” in his 20s. He took up the hobby of planting when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. “Being a farmer his whole life, my grandpa likes to plant seasonal vegetables in our backyard garden,” Zhang said. “Inspired (启发) by his strong interest, I also learned to grow my own vegetables.” Though sometimes farming can be really tiring, Zhang said he had a sense of achievement when he saw seeds gradually grow into plants.
Although Zhang has recently moved to a place without a yard, he continues his hobby with a balcony garden. “Growing fruits and vegetables not only brings me delicious and safe food, but also reminds me of the happy moments with my grandpa,” said Zhang.
Unlike Zhang, Fang Min from Shenzhen considers planting a garden as a good way to relax and develop patience. To reduce much pressure from schoolwork, the 16-year-old girl started planting vegetables on her balcony in 2021. Most of the seeds were given by her friends. She just planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a “small garden”, covered by different flowers and herbs (香草).
After long hours of homework, Fang likes to walk around her balcony garden. “Seeing the various colors and breathing fresh air, I feel closer to nature and refreshed,” Fang said. “The vegetables and herbs may not be the main food on our table, but they will surely add different tastes to our dishes and add excitement to our busy days.”
Planting vegetables is now more than just a way to survive. It also brings joy and purpose to young people’s lives.
