Atop a hill in a garden, three children were having a heated discussion. "It's not fair!"
Mag threw her bike to the ground. "Why won't you let me have a go?" Paul exchanged
Page 4 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司glances with his friend Billy, both planning a bike ramp （坡道） for an upcoming stunt
（特技） bike competition. "You're too young for it, "Paul declared. Upset, Mag ran away.
Paul and Billy set out to build a bike ramp out of a wooden board and an upturned
metal bucket. One end of the board rested on the ground while the other rested on the
bucket. The hilly terrain seemed perfect for their plan. However, each attempt to ride the
ramp ended with the board out of place.
Determined to secure the board, Paul rushed to his father's shed and returned with four
leftover house bricks. Placing them strategically, he hoped it would now hold for their stunt
attempts.
Paul gave Billy the thumbs up, who was waiting at the hill's highest point. Billy
raised himself off his seat. Riding down, he faced the strong wind, his helmet swinging.
Absorbed in their testing, neither noticed Mag approaching with her own plan.
Hidden behind a tree, Mag, seeing her chance, kicked the board off the bucket. Just at
that moment, Billy's bike arrived and he simply could not brake in time. With no ramp,
the bike swung violently off course, heading directly toward the shed.
Reacting swiftly, Paul leaped aside, avoiding the bike's path while Billy hit the shed
door with a loud bang. Mag, realizing her fault, began to sob in regret.
"Why did you do that?" Paul, dusting himself down, turned to face his sister. Tear-
fully, Mag blurted, "You guys said I couldn't have a go. . . "
Paul's anger faded away. He said gently, "You can't take part in the sport, but you
can help us rebuild the ramp. " Smiling weakly, Mag put her hand in her big brother's.
They headed over to help Billy, who was a little shaken but otherwise unhurt.
24. Why did Mag feel "It's not fair!"?
A. She didn't have a good bike.
B. She was too young to ride a bike.
C. She was refused to build the ramp.
D. She was left out of the stunt bike training.
25. What was Mag's plan?
A. To build her own bike ramp. B. To apologize for her fault.
C. To damage the bike ramp. D. To beg for Paul's permission.

I dropped "rizz" into a conversation at home as a test to see my son's familiarity with
Internet slang. "Don't say that, " he said. "You sound terrible. " In terms of ego, it was
a failure. But as a test of generational differences in language use, it was a success.
I read in a newspaper that Oxford University Press had chosen "rizz" as the word of
2023. Short for charisma, rizz is defined as "style, charm, or attractiveness". Internet slang
has been confusing and difficult for me to understand. Considering it enjoys great popular-
ity among Gen Z associates, as a Gen X director, should I keep up with the Internet slang
and be prepared for it at work?
One thing is clear: The attempt to resist is in vain. Internet slang is a product of its
time. Technology makes humour more important. Slang, says Erica Dhawan, author of Digi-
tal Body Language, "can create closeness with colleagues when body language is no longer
the primary communication".
That doesn't mean Gen X leaders should be trying to drop "rizz" into conversation. It
is embarrassing. Partly it seems fake, but also because it is hard to keep up with the way
language changes if not immersed in it. Tony Thorne, of the Slang and New Language Ar-
chive at King's College London, says Gen Z is "heavily influenced by viral trends, it is
not strictly only verbal ... it always has one eye on visual metaphors and allusions （影射）
too".
Workplace norms evolve. Just five years ago senior leaders were complaining about
headphones in the office, Dhawan points out. "Now they're normal. " So too with language.
Slang slips into common usage quickly. Oxford University Press's past years words include
"vax", "toxic" and "climate emergency", all of which seem fairly mainstream now. Who
signs their emails with "Yours faithfully"? Far more common is: "Thanks", "Kind regards"
or "Best wishes".
Page 6 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司I still frown when I see signoffs like KR or BW-but give me another year, Thx.
28. What advantage does Internet slang bring to people according to Erica Dhawan?
A. Close relationships. B. High working efficiency.
C. Personal popularity. D. Good reputation.
29, What should Gen X leaders do with Internet slang?
A. Oppose it. B. Keep up with it. C. Let it slide. D. Use it in conversa-
tion.
30. What does the author think of senior leaders' acceptance of Internet slang?
A. It's hard to tell. B. It's a matter of time.
C. It's a piece of cake. D. It's out of the question.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Where Internet Slang Will Lead the Gen X
B. Why Internet Slang Is a Riddle for Bosses
C. How Internet Slang Affects Relationship among Colleagues
D. What Role the Youth Play in the Development of Language

You laugh out loud when a friend misses a step on the stairs, but soon you feel
guilty of laughing at other's clumsiness. You may ask yourself "Shouldn't I feel empathetic
（共情的） for the person involved?" Don't worry. Your laughter is not provoked by lack
of empathy. As a clinical psychologist, I'd like to shed light on different aspects of such a
situation which can bring our usually well-meaning laughter.
The first of these ingredients is surprise. The unexpected situation surprises us and cre-
ates a departure from the predictable, from what we expected to see. This incongruous （不一
致的） situation highlights our errors of prediction. Laughing at the situation is a way of
resolving the incongruity by making a new and comic interpretation of what we witnessed.
Besides, we react according to how we interpret the person's facial expression. A study
explored this. Participants were asked to view 210 images representing three types of faces:
faces expressing a puzzled look, faces expressing pain or anger, and people whose bodies
were placed in awkward positions, without the face being visible.
Page 7 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司At the end of the study, participants rated the images with puzzled faces as funnier
than images in which the faces expressed pain or anger, and funnier than images in which
bodies were shown in ridiculous positions but no facial expression was seen.
So when we perceive puzzlement in the facial expression of the victim of clumsiness,
this information creates a context that makes us laugh. On the other hand, if we can read
suffering or anger in the facial expression, we will be touched by the pain of the victim of
the fall and be empathetic, which will prevent us from laughing.
Let's forgive ourselves for laughing at comical situations involving other people's clum-
siness! Having learnt that they are not actually in danger and have not really hurt them-
selves, we aren't laughing at the other person's suffering.
32. What does the underlined word "provoked" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Determined. B. Confirmed. C. Caused. D. Prevented.
33. What makes us laugh at other people's clumsiness?
A. Unpredictability. B. Visibility. C. Dignity. D. Identity.
34. What do we know about the study?
A. The faces expressing pain or anger were often ignored.
B. Awkward positions seemed funnier than puzzled expressions.
C. People laughed at others' suffering in unfortunate situations.
D. Participants were asked to indicate how funny the images were.
35. What does the author think of laughing at people's awkwardness?
A. Praiseworthy. B. Unacceptable. C. Forgivable. D. Ridiculous.

If you are looking to replace or update your smartphone, take a beat and think it
over. You should consider the new device's affordability. 36 The production process
is resource-intensive and greenhouse gas-emitting and does great harm to environment and
climate. 3 7 And when tossed away, electronic devices do severe damage again to the
environment.
So what should we do?
Page 8 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司3 8 If your phone still works, get as much life as you can out of it. The green-
est smart-phone is the one you already own.
Get it fixed. If your phone breaks, get it fixed directly by the manufacturer or take it
to a local tech repair shop authorized to fix your phone brand. 39 Apple this year
opened its self-service repair store, providing manuals and parts for consumers seeking do-it-
yourself fixes for their iPhones.
Donate. There are lots of good causes accepting phone donations to either refurbish
（翻新） or sell for cash, including the Salvation Army and the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence.
Recycle it properly. If your phone is completely broken and cannot be donated, you
can still recycle it properly. 40 It is not difficult to figure out how and where to
correctly recycle it. For example, a store in Milan is asking the local community to help
them collect 50 kilograms of broken phones to be recycled.
A. Resist the urge to upgrade.
B. Extend the lifespan of mobile phones.
C. You just need to do a little bit of research.
D. Also, the environmental cost can't be ignored.
E. It can often be fixed through easy repairs with less cost.
F. Therefore, we should reduce our reliance on electronic devices.
G. It is made even worse if consumers frequently replace their phones.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Donna is my sister, and I had always considered her beautiful. Our father called her
his princess, and in high school, she was known as the school babe. Our parents were pro-
tective of us, particularly our father, who kept close watch over the friends she made.
One Saturday in April, a boy invited Donna to a park with four other friends. Unfor-
tunately, on their way to the park, their car crashed into a guardrail and flipped over three
times before it came to a stop on its roof. Donna was pulled from the car and rushed to the
hospital without delay.
Donna was in the hospital for two weeks. Many of her friends went to see her, espe-
cially Claudia, who was there a lot. However, Mom and Dad never liked Claudia. I don't
really know why. They just didn't like her being around.
Donna returned home with the entire top half of her head shaved. She had hundreds
of stitches （缝线）, some of which came across her forehead and between her left eye
and eyebrow. Knowing Donna's concern for her appearance, Mom found her a human hair
wig （假发） that perfectly matched her hair.
Donna finally recovered and went back to school. But she never felt good in school.
There was a very loud-mouthed, self-centered girl in Donna's class who took great pleasure
in teasing her. This girl, seated behind Donna, would pull slightly on Donna's wig and
mockingly said, "Hey, Wiggy, let's see your scars（伤疤）". Then she would laugh.
Donna endured this mistreatment in silence until the day she told Claudia. From then
on, Claudia kept a close eye on my sister, preventing anyone from bothering her. There
was something about Claudia that was frightening, even to the worst kids in school. No-
body messed with her. Unfortunately, though, Claudia wasn't always around, and the teasing
and name-calling continued.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司One day, Claudia came to our home with a special surprise.
Donna and Claudia wore their wigs for over a year.
