party, I painted the table turquoise(墨绿色)—my favorite color—and left it in the front yard,”she says.
That turquoise table gradually became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They used to do activities
at the kitchen table, while they now did out front at the picní c table. Neighbors began to stop by to introduce
themselves and si t down for a chat. Construction workers in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table.
A babysitter walking by sat down to rest. A movement was born.
People often. hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, or not big
enough.“Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,”Kristin says. Her picnic
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司table takes away the excuses and the pressure.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in13 countries

Researchers found that young netizens still desire to be in a romantic relationship, and only a few expressed
no intention. But young netizens’ willingness to get married is much lower than their willingness to fall in love.
Sina Weibo data shows that among the 5,492 young netizens surveyed,16.4 percent expressed a desire for
romance, while only 0.6 percent clearly said they have no intention to have a romantic relationship. However, only
3.4 percent expressed a positive attitude toward marriage as opposed to1.2 percent who expressed a negative
attitude.
Young netizens with a higher education background have a strong er willingness for both romance and
marriage. Statistics show that compared to young netizens with a middle school or high school degree, those with a
bachelor's(学士的) or master's degree are more willing to get involved in a romantic relationship and get married,
which might correspond to their high income as people with a higher education level tend to have higher income
and are more likely to be able to afford the costs associated with maintaining a healthy romantic relationship and
marriage.
Regarding the difference between young netizens’ willingness to have a romantic relationship and their
willingness to get married, an analysis of Sina Weibo posts shows a disconnection between relationships and
marriage: to fall in love boldly but get married gingerly has become the main trend when it comes to young netizens'
relationship attitudes.
The analysis of Sina Weibo posts reveals that the reason young netizens are unwilling to get married is that
they are under the influence of the “anti-social clock” concept and have a higher need to pursue individualized goals
and ideals than to follow the ordinary social rhythm. The inequality between rights and duties in marriage and a
gender trust crisis caused by issues like domestic violence—both due to insufficient social support systems—are
also contributing factors.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司28. Which is young netizens’ relationship attitude?
A. They relate love to marriage.
B. They prefer romance to marriage.
C. They value romance above education.
D. They disconnect income with education.
29. Why do highly-educated young netizens more desire both love and marriage?
A. They are more sociable.
B. They more obey the social rule.
C. They have a higher personal goal.
D. They are able to afford more time.
30. Which can replace the underlined word “gingerly” in paragraph 4?
A. Eagerly. B. Simply. C. Carefully. D. Officially.
31. What is emphasized in the last paragraph?
A. The complexity of the reasons.
B. The role of social support systems.
C. The potential problems of marriage.
D. The social influence on marriage concept.

For most people, a minor wound will be relatively harmless. After some time the wound will heal(治愈) and
disappear without leaving any visible evidence on the skin. But it is not so simple for everybody. Diabetics(糖尿
病人) and elderly people with reduced blood circulation may have far greater issues when it comes to wound
healing. However, scientists have introduced a new weapon against such extreme wound reactions.
Swedish scientists from Chalmers University of Technology have developed a technology which can stimulate
wound healing so that it can happen more rapidly. The technique involves electrifying the skin. “Long-standing
wounds make up a severe problem that we do not hear very much about,” says Associate Professor Maria Asplund
from Chalmers University of Technology, who headed the project. “We have now found a method that can make
wounds heal up to three times faster, which could be a game change r for elderly people and diabetics, who often
have wounds that cannot heal.”
To test this, the Chalmers researchers made a kind of biochip(生物芯片) on which they grew skin cells. They
then made small wounds in the artificial skin and tested how fast the wound healing happened when they either
passed electricity through the chip or did . not. The results showed the healing process happening three times faster
in the presence of electricity.
The scientists will now receive funds to continue their research beyond the lab. “At the moment we are
investigating how different skin cells react to electrical stimulation to find out what would correspond to realistic
wounds,” says Asplund. “We aim to develop a concept that allows us to examine wounds and personalize the
electrical stimulation to individual wound types. We are convinced that this is the way to help people with slow-
healing wounds.”
32. Who will most benefit from the new technology?
A. People who get wounded easily. B. People who have heart attack.
C. People with high blood sugar. D. People with high blood pressure.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about the test?
A. Its purpose. B; Its benefits. C. Its conditions. D. Its method.
34. What does Asplund think of wound healing with electricity?
A. Debateful. B. Limited. C. Representative. D. Hopeful.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. New technology helps wounded people
B. New weapon cures slow-healing wounds
C. Electricity heals wounds three times faster
D. Diabetics and the elderly suffer wound healing

Resilience(适应力) is the ability to renew from hardship and possibly also grow stronger in the process. 36
When we face difficulties, instead of giving in to desperation, we can choose, as hard as it may seem in the moment,
to accept resilience. This means recognizing our own inner strength and determination to overcome challenges.
37 Of course it forces us to face our fears and doubts. Each time we tolerate a difficult experience, we build
resilience, making us better equipped to handle future challenges.
Turning hardest moments into learning opportunities requires self-reflection. When we encounter difficulties,
it's essential to take a step back and ask ourselves tough questions. 38 What can we learn from it? Reflecting on
our experiences allows us to gain valuable insights and wisdom. As long as we obtain learning, understanding, and
insight from it, they can become gifts and sources of strength and wisdom over time.
Life's challenges often bring us into contact with the suffering of others. Experiencing hardship can promote
empathy for those with similar difficulties. This newfound empathy can lead to a desire to help and support others.
Turning our pain into an opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level can be incredibly rewarding. 39
As irony as this may sound, life would be incredibly boring and possibly meaningless if we had no problems
to solve. Difficult moments often require us to think critically and find solutions to complex problems in ways we
wouldn't otherwise. 40 When we encounter obstacles(障碍)”, we are pushed to explore new views, seek creative
solutions. Without obstacles, we wouldn't ever discover what we're truly capable of and a lot of our potential would
be wasted.
A. Where was I from?
B. What led to this situation?
C. Hardship often reveals our true resilience.
D. By dealing with challenges, we learn how to face hardship.
E. It is a quality to turn hardest moments into learning opportunities.
F. By offering support, we not only help others but also create satisfaction.
G. These challenges can be seen as opportunities to develop problem-solving skills.

Confucianism is the way of life propagated(传播) by Confucius in the 6th-5th century BCE and followed by
the Chinese people for more than two thousand years. Although 56 (transform) over time, it is still the substance
of learning, the source of values, and 57 social behavior rules of the Chinese. Its influence has also extended to
other countries, 58 (particular) Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
Confucianism, a Western term 59 has no counterpart in Chinese, is a worldview, a moral rule, a scholarly
tradition, and a way of life. Sometimes viewed as philosophy and sometimes as a religion, Confucianism may be
understood as a 60 (think) and living way. East Asians may claim themselves to be Daoists, Buddhists, Muslims,
or Christians, but, they seldom cease to be Confucians.
Although often grouped with the major historical religions, Confucianism 61 (differ) from them by not being

The Gratitude Jar(感恩)
Emily, a young woman with a golden hair, lived in a small, busy town. She was in her early thirties and was
unfortunate. She was known for her negative feelings and pessimistic characters. When facing life's challenges, she
always thought the God never blessed her and felt a sense of desperation, which made the people around sad as
well.
One day, Emily met with an old, dust y jar in the corner of an antique shop. Curious, she picked it up and
noticed a small label that read, “The Gratitude Jar. ”The shopkeeper explained that the jar was meant for collecting
moments of gratitude—tiny notes that illustrated the essence of thankfulness.
Excited by the idea, Emily decided to start a journey of gratitude. She placed the jar on the shelf near her desk.
Each day, before the sun dipped below the horizon(地平线), she would si t down with her Gratitude Jar and reflect
on the blessings of the day. From the warmth of the morning sun to the laughter of children playing in the park,
Emily found joy in the simple things.
As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Emily's jar began to fill with an amount of gratitude:
She was amazed by how her attitude to life had shifted. Instead of dwelling on(强调)what she lacked, Emily focused
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司on the richness of what she had—the love of family, the support of friends, and the beauty of the world around
her.
Gradually, Emily became a sunny and positive person who loved life and was grateful to others.

Dear Mr. Richard,
We have different opinions about what clothes to wear at the welcome ceremony. I agree to wear traditional
Chinese clothes. Firstly, this is what the British visitors are expecting. They come to learn about Chinese culture.
We Chinese pupils in the typical Chinese dress would be highly impressive while the school uniforms are fine, but
not special enough to give Chinese flavour. Secondly, the inconvenience is not a problem. On the contrary, it is just
the so-called inconvenience that displays the richness and fascination of Chinese culture.The traditional Chinese
clothes will make the occasion very Chinese .
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司One cold autumn evening, Emily was told she lost her job. It was an unexpected challenge, which cast a shadow
over her. “What should I do?” Emily asked herself. “This is the only job that makes my living and support my
family.” Feeling a mix of uncertainty and fear, Emily sat down in despair. She felt she was floating in an ocean of
sadness. Suddenly she shot a glance at her Gratitude Jar on the shelf, wondering if she could find anything to be
thankful for in such a trying time.
Emily’s positive attitude to life helped her get a new job. Each tiny piece of gratitude became a beacon of hope,
a reminder that even in difficult times, there was always something to appreciate. Emily found comfort in the support
