Thomas was a well-known wise man. One day, he wandered in a beautiful small town. Because of his fame,
people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice.
Many who came sought help with difficulties in daily life, and Thomas, unable to bear turning them away,
patiently offered suggestions. Word spread quickly, and more and more people came to see Thomas for guidance.
One day, dozens of people crowded outside Thomas’s door, all clamoring (大声地要求) that their problems
were the most serious and urgent, each insisting that Thomas address their concerns first, with no one willing to
yield (让步).
After a moment of thought, Thomas took out some paper and a pen and said, “I can’t hear clearly with
everyone talking at once. How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this
basket beside me?”
Once everyone had placed their notes in the basket, Thomas shook the basket and said, “Please each take a
piece of paper from the basket and read what it says.”
As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles,
and every household has its own challenges. Then Thomas spoke up, “Now, whose problem is the most urgent to
solve?” Hearing that question, no one spoke again, because now no one dared to claim that their problem was the
most severe.
Often, we are bound by our immediate feelings. When difficulties and problems strike, it feels as though we
are caught in a vortex of pain. But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover
that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe
there is something within our power that we can do for them.
24．Why did people visit Thomas?
A．For advice. B．For a meeting.
C．For a competition. D．For introductions.更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君

C．He prioritized the problems himself. D．He asked them to write down their problems.
26．What did reading others’ problems show to the people?
A．The complexity of their difficulties. B．The similarity of their situations.
C．Their need for more advice. D．Their living conditions.
27．What lesson did Thomas teach?
A．Competition. B．Sympathy. C．Prioritization. D．Self-confidence.

In a Parisian old shoe factory on the city ‘s outskirts, a new kind of life is taking root. Neoplants, a startup
from Paris, has developed a special houseplant that could potentially help improve indoor air quality by removing
harmful pollutants.
The plant is a modified variety of one of the most popular and low-maintenance houseplants. Its DNA has
been altered to enhance its capacity to absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air we breathe inside
our homes. These VOCs include substances like formaldehyde, benzene. toluene. ethylbenzene, and xylene, which
are commonly found indoors and can be harmful in large quantities.
The genetic tweaking also allows the plant to convert the absorbed VOCs into substances it can use. such as
sugars and carbon dioxide, which then fuel its growth. While Neoplants’concept is quite promising, proving its
effectiveness is a challenge.
Plant shops often claim their greenery can purify the air, but much of this belief stems from research
conducted by NASA back in 1989. They found that houseplants could indeed absorb certain toxins. However,
achieving the same level of toxin removal as simply opening a window would require an impractical number of
plants—anywhere from 10 to 1.000 per square meter.
So, does Neoplants’genetically modified houseplant offer a better solution? Field tests haven’t yielded
definitive results yet, but there is hope for more conclusive testing in the future with the help of a new lab equipped
with unique non-absorbent rooms that mimic real-life conditions . Additionally, the company is exploring potential
applications for its gene-editing technology in areas such as carbon capture and phytoremediation, where plants are
used to clean up contaminated environments
Neoplants is relying on patience and a bit of faith. It takes time for innovations to mature. “This will be the
first time such a product exists.” says the company’s CEO. drawing a parallel to the early days of computers, which
were not very powerful initially but still represented a significant breakthrough.
With Neoplants’ vision, the old shoe factory on the edge of Paris isn’t just a place where shoes were made;
it’s where a novel approach to cleaning our indoor air is being cultivated—one that could someday make our homes
healthier and more environmentally friendly.
28．What does Neoplants’genetically modified houseplant aim to do?
A．maintain its capacity easily. B．absorb VOC’s massively
C．alter its DNA completely. D．fuel its growth quickly
29．What can be inferred from this passage?更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
A．The absorbed VOCs can enhance the growth of the plant.
B．Opening a window can remove the same level of toxins as the Neoplants.
C．Neoplants will need powerful computers to make a significant breakthrough.
D．Conclusive testing needs conducting to achieve definite results.
30．What does the underlined term “phytoremediation” in paragraph 5 most likely mean?
A．The process of using plants to absorb nutrients. B．The process of using plants to purify the air.
C．The process of using plants to explore applications.D．The process of using plants to edit certain genes.
31．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．Science fiction.B．A scientific textbook. C．A news article. D．An art magazine.

always been a strong demand for short-form entertainment, including popular formats like variety shows, quick

encourages them to spend more time on the platform.
Moreover. Douyin continuously improves its features and algorithms to enhance user experience and keep
users engaged. The app uses advanced AI technology to analyze user preferences and provide personalized
recommendations, ensuring that users see content that is relevant and interesting to them.

As fall approaches, like many of us who either follow an academic calendar for our work or have children in
school, I’m preparing for a significant change in my schedule. As I anticipate more demands on my time, I reflect
on how to maintain some sense of balance in my life. 36
First of all, it is sensible to think small. We often feel like our values-based actions need to take a significant
amount of time. 37 Look over the areas that you are having trouble fitting into your life. Is there a way to
engage in a small part daily or weekly? Maybe instead of 90 minutes of yoga, you can do a few poses in the
morning or stretch during work break.
38 A good friend of mine often sets up calls with me while she is taking her daily walks. She still gets
her exercise and her time outside, and we also get to connect. Doing housework as a family can help parents have
valued family time while still keeping their homes running smoothly.
As we know, life is messy and ever-changing. It’s also important to pay attention while we are doing the
actions that matter to us. It can be easy to think of the areas we aren’t engaged in. 39 Bringing mindfulness
to our actions makes them more rewarding.
One more thing that needs to be added is the fact that no matter how much attention we bring to balancing
our lives, we will unavoidably fall out of balance again. 40 Please be gentle with ourselves. And it may be
helpful to think of the saying, “Fall down seven times; get up eight.”
A．Don’t take it too much to heart
B．We may put meaningful actions together.
C．However, we don’t notice what we are doing.
D．Balancing our lives requires planning and action.
E．I often underestimate how long it takes me to do a task.
F．Hence, I can do what matters to me across many areas of my life.
G．Even small numbers of values-based actions can be meaningful, though.

150左右。
It was a bitterly cold and dark day in December. I was walking home from work, hungry and worn out after
my long day. My team was due to complete our big project before we left for our winter vacation, but our boss
delivered bad news that our client had contacted him and demanded a major revision on the project before they
would accept it. The whole team was desperate—we were so close to finishing and now we would most likely have
to work over and miss the entire vacation.
So caught up in my anxious thoughts was I that I failed to watch where I was walking until I stepped, with a
dramatic splash (溅起), off the sidewalk and into a giant, half-frozen pool of water at the side of the road. I could
feel the icy water into my shoes and socks, slowly soaking up into my trousers legs around my ankles. I sighed
deeply and almost cried—I was having, as my grandmother always used to say, “one of those days when nothing
goes your way.”
A wave of loneliness filled me. I loved my job and my coworkers and most days when I was satisfied with
my life but now, especially around the holidays, the reminders that I didn’t have a partner or children like my sister更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
or some of my coworkers did fill me with sadness. As I looked down sadly at my unpleasant situation, I saw a brief
spot of movement out of the corner of my eye. There, attached to a cold piece of cardboard in the middle of the
pool, was a small patch of grey fur.
As I watched, the little spot moved again, before letting out an outsized cry of sorrow and grief, so loud was
it that you would think it came from a creature five times the size. It was a cat!

Slowly and carefully so as not to frighten it, I bent down and picked up the cat. _______________________
