【原文】W: Hi, Hank! What’s that book you’re reading?
M: Hi, Anna. It’s about the teenagers who are thought of as heroes. I mean, lots of people think nowadays a hero has
to be someone like those in films. But I think there are plenty of ordinary people around doing great things.
W: Mmm, I guess so. Those people can be heroes too.
M: That’s a bit like my granddad, then. He’s done all sorts of things to lend other people a hand. To do this, he even
left a large company and gave up a high-paying job. He’s surely my hero.
W: He sounds like one of those motivating heroes you find in storybooks.
M: Yeah, he is. And a storybook is one place where you do need proper heroes.
W: I’m with you there. I have read loads of storybooks which are close to reality and I surely wouldn’t get to the end
if they didn’t have heroes. Too boring.
M: Great writers can really help you to love reading. I mean, I wasn’t f ond of reading until I found my favorite. Still,
it’s unusual to find writers that can do that—for me, anyway.
W: That’s right.

A. A designer’s green sofa.
B. Problems in the furniture industry.
C. The change in the fashion industry.
【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: Russian designer Harry Nuriev’s latest sofa is made from a pile of waste bags. He wants it to draw
attention to waste things and how we use them. The piece was based on an idea he first explored at a fair in 2019,
when he presented a sofa made from old clothes. The project commented on the fashion industry’s waste problem,
which is mainly generated by cheap, trend-responsive “fast fashion”. The project also drew a direct line between the
waste problem and the furniture industry. It’s estimated that 9 million tons of furniture are thrown away every single
year, and over 80% of it ends up in landfill. Add to that the carbon releases caused by producing and shipping it, and
the furniture industry looks like another threat to the global climate. With so much waste furniture, brands that make
typically “fast” furniture are announcing efforts to change. Some companies commit to using only renewable or
recyclable material s to cut carbon release. Katie Treggiden, design expert and author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes
Treasure, said that having a long life has been a key selling message among responsible furniture companies for a
long time. She added they also need to offer repair and take-back service to give their products a second life.

Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some
medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to
help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer
face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as
she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to
working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less
money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her
social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To
celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about
$20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly
passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still
coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay
off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many
millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
24. Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?
A. The doctors eventually cured her.
B. Her disease didn’t become worse.
C. She had security about medical care.
D. She had a decent job before being ill.
25. How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?
A. By paying for their daily debts.
B. By giving away money to them.
C. By purchasing medical insurance for them.

（北京）股份有限公司D. By ridding them of debts from treatments.

C. Cautious and promising. D. Enthusiastic and adaptable.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了身患绝症的出版商McIntyre女士与其丈夫捐赠善款，通过RIP医
疗债务组织帮助他人清偿巨额医疗账单的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had
insurance to help pay for her medical care. (但她意识到，在某种程度上，她比其他人幸运。她有保险来帮助
支付医疗费用)”可知，麦金太尔女士觉得自己比其他人幸运，这是因为她有医疗保险帮助支付医疗费用，
她有医疗保障。故选C。

麦金太尔女士还是决定尽可能多地帮助人们偿还医疗债务。这对夫妇开始向一个名为RIP医疗债务的组织
捐款，该组织致力于偿还他人未付的医疗债务)”可知，麦金太尔女士和她的丈夫通过偿还他人未付的医疗
债务帮助别人。故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had
hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on
her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and

C
How often is your mind quiet? If you’re a typical human being, the answer is probably very rarely. For most of
our days, our attention is focused on external things—the tasks of our jobs, TV programs, or social media
interactions. In the moments when our attention isn’t focused externally, it’s usually focused on what is called
“thought-chatter”—a stream of mental associations consisting of expectations of the future, memories, daydreams,
and so on.
But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears
altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel
as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are.
There are many activities that have the effect of quieting our minds, and so produce a state of well-being.
For example, think about what happens when you go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when
you start out, but slowly, after a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature
attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a
different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet.
This is why people love to look at beautiful works of art. When people see the paintings of Monet or van
Gogh, they experience a mind-stopping moment, in which they’re taken out of their thinking minds and experience
第10页/共27页
（北京）股份有限公司a sense of great well-being.
The strange thing is, though, that most of the time this happens unconsciously (不知不觉地). We usually don’t
associate this well-being with a quiet mind. And we usually don’t think of a quiet mind as the aim or result of these
activities.
Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the
very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they
can completely stop our minds.
I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should
certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be
aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain
activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and
harmony.
28. What can be inferred about thought-chatter?
A. It requires a lot of practice.
B. It might be unpleasant at times.
C. It might be a talk with a friend.
D. It helps reach a state of silence.
29. What are the examples of activities mentioned in the text mainly about?
A. What activities lead to well-being.
B. What can be done to reduce stress.
C. How we can make our minds quiet.
D. How mental quietness leads to well-being.
30. How can we determine how much pleasure an activity can give us?
A. By judging how much stress it can increase.
B. By judging whether it takes place unconsciously.
C. By judging to what extent it can quiet our minds.
D. By judging whether it associates with well-being.
31. What does the author intend to highlight in the last paragraph?
A. Creating a quiet mind for all time.
B. Living a peaceful life permanently.
C. Being in harmony with inner quietness.
D. Participating in activities for inner quietness.
第11页/共27页
（北京）股份有限公司【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了内心宁静与心理健康的关系，指出通过欣赏艺术和在自然中行
走等活动，可以使思维静止，带来幸福感和内心和谐，并提出有意识地创造宁静心境可以带来持久的满足
感。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets
down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense
of inner harmony. We feel as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are. (但时不时地，
我们都会经历这样的时刻：我们的“思想闲聊”安静下来，甚至完全消失。在这些时刻，我们体验到一种
巨大的幸福感。我们感受到内心的和谐。我们觉得好像没有问题了，对我们的生活感到满意。)”可知，
“思想闲聊”停下来时人们会感到快乐，因此它的发生有时可能会令人不愉快。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“For example, think about what happens when you-go walking in the countryside.
You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after-a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The
beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the
walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is
now quiet. (例如，想想当你在农村散步时会发生什么。刚开始的时候你可能会感到压力，但慢慢地，几英
里后，你的头脑开始安定下来。大自然的美丽和宁静吸引了你的注意力，你不再“思想闲聊”。散步结束
时，你几乎感觉自己变成了另一个人。你感觉更有活力，也更快乐——主要是因为你的头脑现在很安静。)
”可知，文中提到了在乡村散步和观看艺术作品等活动可以让心灵平静下来，并带来幸福感。因此，提到
这些例子主要是为了说明心灵的平静是怎样带来幸福感的。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping
capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so
attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds. (我们对一项活动有多愉快的估计可能取决于它
让人停止思考的能力。换句话说，最好的表现和最有回报的活动是那些非常有吸引力和激烈的，它们可以
完全停止我们的思想。)”可知，那些可以完全让我们停止思考的活动被认为是非常愉快和有益的，因此，
我们对一项活动的享受取决于它在多大程度上能让我们的头脑平静下来。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities.
第12页/共27页
（北京）股份有限公司Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the

应该更加意识到安静的头脑与幸福的联系。同时，我们应该意识到，我们有可能有意识地直接创造一个平
静的头脑；而不是作为某些活动的副产品。最终，我们可能会发展出一种永久的平静心态，达到一种持续
的满足与和谐的状态。)”可知，作者强调要更多地意识到安静的心灵和幸福之间的联系，要有意识地直接
创造一个安静的头脑，潜在地带来持续的满足和和谐，而不仅仅是参与活动。故选A。
D
Using hypodermic needles to deliver drugs has been common for more than a century. The past hundred years
have seen all manner of medical advances, yet the needle has stayed mostly unchanged. Although now available in
a variety of different sizes, it remains a hollow (中空的), pointy tube. With luck, that may soon change.
Researchers around the world are looking for ways to ease the passage of needles into the skin. Many have been
inspired by nature.
An obvious source of ideas has been mosquitoes, which manage to take their blood meals almost painlessly.
One reason is that the insects release anaesthetic (麻醉的)chemicals when they first puncture(刺穿)the skin. But
another has to do with the shape and action of their mouthparts.
The point of a mosquito’s mouthparts is serrated (锯齿状的)and softer at its tip. The insect stretches the skin
of its target before biting, and shakes its mouthparts quickly as it pushes it in. All of this helps to reduce the force
needed to puncture the skin. One paper, published in 2020 by a group of researchers in America and China, found
that a mosquito-inspired needle required 27% less force than an ordinary one. And less puncture force means less
pain.
Mosquito-inspired needles might also be useful for delicate procedures such as biopsies (活组织检查). A
paper from the University of Michigan, also published in 2020, found that the lower puncture force led to less
movement of the sampling area, ensuring that the needles were guided accurately to the area, rather than missing
the target.
For now, such devices remain restricted to labs. But there is a big market for better needles. According to the
World Health Organization, around 16bn injections were given in 2018. With one person in four saying they suffer
from trypanophobia, or a fear of needles, the savings on stickers and sweets for the brave souls who roll up their
sleeves would be considerable.

（北京）股份有限公司【答案】范文：
On World Earth Day, I came across two powerful images on an international website. One portrays our planet
shedding tears, expressing its sorrow while the other one, by contrast, showcases Earth’s continuous and generous
blessings.
The powerful images set me thinking. Obviously, the planet’s tears symbolize the harm caused by human
activities, such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Yet, our generous Earth, the ultimate giver of gifts,
makes us feel guilty for not fully appreciating and safeguarding its generosity. These images awakens a sense of guilt
and an urgent need to protect the earth.
It’s high time that we banded together to preserve and restore our Earth. By embracing sustainable practices,
minimizing our carbon footprint, and advocating for environmentally responsible policies, we are bound to pave the
way for a sustainable future.

At the time I was living in a small village about 25 miles from London. That was the advantage of living there
第24页/共27页
（北京）股份有限公司because you could get to London in half an hour. That was by train of course. If you went by car, it’d take about three
times as long especially if you travelled in the morning rush hour. The reason why I was giving you this travel
information in detail was that I had to make a choice between the car and the train.
I’d seen an advertisement in a national newspaper, which had asked for someone who had some knowledge of
computing, had worked at least for two years in car sales and finally was not afraid of travelling up and down the
motorway to London every day from a place not far from where I lived. It seemed interesting work and was quite
different from the job I had at the time. The interview was to take place at 10:00 a.m. on a Monday morning in
January.
Throughout the weekend I couldn’t make up my mind whether to travel by car or by train. At the end of Sunday I
decided to drive my car because after all the job was to do with cars.
On the day of the interview I got up at 6:00 a.m. as I was terrified of being late. I usually woke up early because of
the loud noise of the traffic outside my bedroom window in the morning. On this particular morning, everything
seemed strangely silent. I looked out of the window and realized why: There was a thick blanket of snow on the road
and it was still snowing heavily. I panicked. Clearly now I’d have to go by train. I telephoned the station and asked
what time the next train down to London would be. I was informed that all services had been cancelled. I asked by
whom they had been cancelled. I never knew the answer to that question because I’d been cut off.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

（北京）股份有限公司【答案】One possible version:
Obviously I would have to rethink of driving for the day. After breakfast I managed to brush off all the snow
from the car and fortunately I managed to get it started at the third attempt. Before long, I saw an enormous queue of
cars one behind the other. I realized I was stuck right in the middle of a huge traffic jam. However, within five minutes
the traffic was moving again and for the next two miles I was driving along the motorway at quite a good speed.
However, soon after, my car broke down because of the slippery road. There were still about 10 miles to go.
Immediately, I called the car assistance firm, who promised to come soon. I also phoned the firm I was supposed to
have an interview with, sincerely apologizing I might be a little late. Eventually I reached my destination at 11:30
a.m. The interviewers asked me some really difficult questions. I sadly thought I’d failed. But two days later, I
received an e-mail from them, reading they offered me the job because I still rushed to their company for the interview
in such cold and terrible weather and they saw my potential excellent qualities.

要在火车和汽车之间选择前往伦敦参加面试的交通方式。在周末犹豫不决后，作者决定开车去，因为这份
