Debra Ferrell got the standard well wishes on Facebook on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages
too. One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother,
autistic (患孤独症的) and nonverbal, was extremely sad. Could Ferrell help?
That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd,
the longtime social service professional and well-known sweetie had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted
to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who
could use one. When she got the note about the Minnesota family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message
“Listen to the wind and know that I am near” written on the clapper. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom,
where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.
This is not the first time that Ferrell decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2014, she founded
Love with Skin On, an organization dedicated to doing good deeds near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and beyond.
Its motto is simple: Be Love, Do Stuff.
Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Facebook callouts,
others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shares her favorite inexpensive and creative gift
ideas on Pinterest for others to use.
Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages,
as well as the gas it takes to play fairy godmother. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious
warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. "I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my
birthday this year and was like ‘YESSS!’ It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to.
24. What did Debra Ferrell receive on her birthday?A. Messages asking for help. B. Unusual birthday wishes.
C. Random gestures of kindness. D. Gifts from Love with Skin On. 25. What does Ferrell do on
Pinterest?
A. Share innovative ideas. B. Give away care packages. C. Purchase gifts for strangers. D. Collect money for the
needy. 26. What can be concluded from the last paragraph ?
A. Ferrel will hold a party. B. Ferrel cares little about her family.
C. Ferrel will continue helping strangers. D. Ferrel pays for everything for her family.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Ferrell?
A. Loving and tolerant. B. Selfless and independent.
C. Determined and demanding. D. Generous and Warm-hearted.

A new exhibition in Paris aims to show how England in the middle ages was very much part of Europe’s
dynamic art, architectural, trade and culture scene between AD1000 and AD1500.
Organizers said the event would discredit the “popular perception” —mainly across the Channel —that medieval
England was “primitive and barbaric”, while France and parts of Europe enjoyed a gothic zenith.
James Robinson, the exhibition curator, said there had been a “reassessment” of England’s contribution to
European art in the middle ages over the past half a century. “I’d like to blow apart the popular perception that the
middle ages were all about pestilence (plague), the Black Death and religious repression, and demonstrate the artistic
and technical excellence that was evident ,” he said. “When you look at the art works in this exhibition you will see
some of the true masterpieces of the age.”
Unfortunately, while France and other European countries largely preserved their medieval treasures, England’s
artistic heritage was “systematically and ruthlessly decimated” by the 16th-century Reformation and the revolution
led by Oliver Cromwell in the 1640s. The English Reformation , after Henry VIII wrested the Church of England
away from the authority of the Catholic church in Rome, saw the king’s chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, close
down the monasteries, confiscating their riches and in many cases dismantling the buildings. “All things of value
were spoiled, plucked away or utterly defaced…and it seemed every person was intent upon filching and spoiling
what he could,” wrote Michael Sherbrook, the 16th-century rector of Wickersley near Roche Abbey in South
Yorkshire.
Among the exhibits at the Paris exhibition that opens on Friday are rare treasures that escaped the 16th- and
17th -century pillage and destruction, including the Gloucester Candlestick, the Becket Casket, the Clare Chasuble,
the Luck of Edenhall and the Syon Cope. Marie Lavandier, the president of France’s National Monuments Centre,
said: “The exhibition highlights the extraordinary richness of the artistic exchanges that united England with
continental Europe. At this moment when we are interrogating ourselves about our relationship with Europe, what
the exhibition is also demonstrating is that we have always been closely tied to it in terms of commerce and
diplomatic relationships.” 28. What’s the popular perception of England in the middle ages?
A. England was the centre of the medieval culture.
B. England enjoyed the top level in gothic art.
C. England lagged far behind France and other parts of Europe in art.
D. England had the advanced and first-rate architecture then.29. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “decimated” in paragraph 4?
A. refreshed B. replicated C. promoted D. destroyed
30. From Michael Sherbrook’s comment we can learn that .
A. Destructions were plotted by France and other European countries
B. Artistic treasures suffered huge loss under the Church of England
C. He was totally astonished about what happened
D. The Catholic church should be responsible for the whole event
31. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The chaos medieval age of England
B. The Paris exhibition dispels myth of “primitive” England in middle ages
C. How to enjoy a new exhibition in Paris
D. An introduction to artistic exchanges in England
D
At a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came
from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor. He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was
offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same.
To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back—to the nature of science itself.
Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories
change, so do scientific methods.
Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific
work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments to
develop into personal battles. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be
viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably
shares. Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic, but it’s not so foreign to science. Philosophers of science sometimes
refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction (元归纳)” on the history of science: All of our past scientific theories
have been wrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too. That doesn’t mean we haven’t made
progress, but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong.
I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and a readiness to accept the unknown
(“there are things I do not know!”) along with a sense that we can do better (“there are things I do not know yet!”).
It also builds in a sense of community—we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things
right. Perhaps the focus on a shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make
up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication.
32. Why did Nosek send the advice?
A. To express opinions about my claims. B. To remind me to be open to criticism.
C. To encourage me to take up science. D. To better my understanding of psychology.
33. How does assuming you are wrong help?
A. It motivates scientists to make efforts. B. It addresses personal attacks and conflicts.
C. It sets a constructive improvement goal. D. It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself.
34. What does the author think of science theories?A. Dynamic. B. Testable. C. Pioneering. D. Well-established.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Accept the Unknown B. Aim to Be Less Wrong
C. Get Engaged in Psychology D. Dig into the Nature of Science

After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the city. After
endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back.
This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely
unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just
20 minutes away by walk. 36
Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful.
Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town. 37 It was closed for
redecoration. To our luck, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk (三
轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no idea where we were, our
mobile phones nearly out of charge.
38 He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter.
We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. 39
For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble free
without him.
Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a
tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. 40
A. That was when our hero arrived.
B. Our thankfulness knew no bounds.
C. We reached a completely different Hotel Ramada.
D. We set off into the city with little research on transport.
E. We decided not to waste our money but our time instead.
F. The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.
G. He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away.

The much-anticipated stage version of Nobel laureate Mo Yan’s first drama, Crocodile, premiered at the Suzhou
Bay Grand Theatre in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, 56 May 3.
Crocodile is the first original drama script 57 (pen) by Mo Yan, which was published in June 2023.
The plot of Crocodile 58 (revolve) around the hero, Shan Wudan, and a crocodile he received as a gift for
his birthday. Through an 59 (infinite) growing crocodile, the story dives into the complexity of human
nature and explores the theme of “desire”. The three-hour drama featured 60 star-studded cast, including
Taiwan movie star Winston Chao playing the role of Shan Wudan, actress Zhang Kaili and veteran Hong Kong
actress Sheren Tang.
61 (address) the audience at the curtain call, Mo said, “I am very excited and feel so familiar with
multiple 62 (scene) in it, yet so unfamiliar, 63 suggests that the production team have made new
adaptions indeed based on my script.” “I think a good play is like a mirror of life, allowing everyone to see ourselves—
our purity, as well as weaknesses similar to the characters in the play. Such observations are not merely about
appreciating art, 64 serve as reminders for us to reflect on our own lives," he continued. After 65

Nanjing, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）

Michael and Greg were brothers and they lived in a family with a tight budget. They both missed the field trip
last year because they could not cover the extra fee. This year, Michael’s class would arrange a field trip to the city
museum and he really wanted to go. So he was trying to earn some pocket money.
On this cold autumn morning, Michael gathered the last of the leaves into a small pile. There weren’t even
enough to jump in. “Mom and Dad are never going to pay me for gathering this little bit of leaves.” “What are you
talking about?” Greg asked, walking up behind him. “I’m trying to do some housework so I can make enough money
to cover my field trip to the city museum, but there’s nothing to do around here.” Michael sighed and looked
around. “You could offer to wash Mom and Dad’s cars,” Greg said.
Michael’s face lit up. “That’s a great idea.”
“I bet some of the neighbors would pay you to wash theirs, too. It’s getting colder and no one wants to wash the
cars themselves.” Greg looked his brother in the eye.
Michael nodded. The air was cold. He shivered at the thought of washing cars and getting wet in this cold
weather. “Maybe this isn’t a good idea.”
Greg placed his hand on Michael’s shoulder. “I have some golf gloves that are designed for wet, cold weather.
I’ll loan you a pair, and I’ll even help you wash the cars.” “Really? You’d help me and let me keep the money?”
“Sure. Golf season is over. I won’t need the extra cash for a while.” Greg disappeared inside the house.
Michael asked his parents if he could wash their cars for a small fee. When they agreed, he asked some neighbors,
too. Three more agreed. Michael got a bucket, some sponges, towels and soap. Greg came back outside with the
gloves. “Here you go. They’ll keep your hands warm and dry.” “Thanks.” Michael still couldn’t believe his brother
was helping him earn the money like this. He had to think of a way to repay him.
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。

In a bid to arouse the awareness of being grateful to our parents, an activity named Exchange Roles with
Parents was launched by our school last week.
Instead of being taken care of by my parents all the time, I took the responsibility of doing housework last
Sunday. Getting up much earlier than usual, I struggled to prepare breakfast for the whole family and then did a
thorough cleaning in the house, which left me exhausted. However, seeing their satisfied smiles made all my efforts
worthwhile.
It was this activity that provided me an insight into how much my parents had done for me and taught me to
cherish their unconditional love from the bottom of my heart.

With these tools, Michael started to work. It was freezing cold and the winter wind stung Michael’s face.
Fortunately he didn’t have to wet his hands while washing the cars, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it in such a
harsh situation. As he was spreading soap over the wheels, Greg came to help. He grabbed the towel and started to
dry the car, which fastened the washing a lot. One car after another, Michael started to feel the warmth sweeping over
his body and sweat even hung over his forehead with the last car done. Michael and Greg came back to the house
and Michael counted the bills.
To Michael’s surprise, he found he earned more money than expected. Then Greg asked, “Do you have enough
for that field trip?” “Yeah.” Michael smiled and a better idea struck him. Michael winked at Greg, “I think the money
is enough for both of us this year!” Greg couldn’t believe his ears and opened his eyes wide. “You mean the two of
us for the field trip?” he asked with his jaw dropping. “Yep!” Michael said in a proud tone. The brothers were wild
with joy, for they could finally enjoy a field trip together, which would witness the love of the two brothers.

M: Well, I was just wondering if you could help me with my history lessons because I’ve been absent for three
days.
W: Sure. Why were you absent for so long?
M: I was pretty sick after my trip to London, so the doctor suggested that I should not attend classes for a

because you always get good grades in history.
⑭
W: I’m sorry to hear that you were sick, Sam. Don’t worry. I’ll help you out. Where should we start? What is the last

much everything that came after that period in history.
W: OK. There is a lot of information to cover, then!
M: So what time is convenient for you? Then I’ll come to your home. Say, 6:00 pm?
W: We’d better start an hour later, because we usually have dinner at that time.

M: OK.
