Eight months after my father died, I saw some letters on top of my mother’s coffee table. They
were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I
couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.
“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a smile. “Sure,” I said.
The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy tocare for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto
—the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.
During my growth, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words,
part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.
As I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, I thought, “Who is this guy?” My father
used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearest” and “my
companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill
for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.”
As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out
that they were and are people with various facets.
My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard.
During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear
my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (思念的) tone. I
knew she was thinking about what could have been — and what had been once upon a time. After
she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils.
For a man who I knew was economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several
pages.
These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One
day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help
me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.
4．What kind of person did the author think her father was?
A．Optimistic. B．Conservative. C．Sensitive. D．Romantic.
5．What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A．Interests. B．Ideas. C．Sides. D．Possibilities.
6．What can we know about the author’s family?
A．Her mother was the family’s provider. B．She didn’t get on well with her father.
C．Her parents were emigrants to Italy.D．Her parents shared similar personalities.
7．What did the author find out about her father through the letters?
A．He was good at hiding his feelings. B．He regretted not being with his family.
C．He was a loving husband and father.D．He was stubborn from the inside out.C
China is at the forefront of a transportation revolution with the rapid expansion of its robotaxi
services, particularly Baidu’s Apollo Go. Since its appearance in Wuhan in 2022, Apollo Go has
spread to 11 Chinese cities, completing an impressive 6 million rides. Despite the requirement for
passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due
to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost
of a ride.
Apollo Go currently boasts over 400 driverless cars in Wuhan, with ambitions to expand to
1,000 by the end of 2024. Most of the cars in Wuhan possess “Level Four” autonomy, allowing them
to operate without human intervention in most driving scenarios, although they may struggle in
complex environments like parking garages. As technology advances and costs decrease, Baidu
anticipates that its robotaxis will become financially self-sustaining by the end of the year, with
profits expected in 2025. This is a significant development in the taxi industry.
However, the rise of robotaxis has not been welcomed by all. Wuhan’s taxi drivers are fearing
their roles will be replaced by technology. It is unclear how China’s government will deal with their
worries. Local officials are actively competing to attract businesses, with Beijing recently drafting
new guidelines to regulate autonomous driving, aiming to make the industry more transparent and
predictable.
In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had
to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch
of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the
concerns of Chinese taxi drivers.
8．What makes Apollo Go popular among riders?
A．Its extremely good service.
B．Its relatively cheap service.
C．Its completely automatical control.
D．Unnecessary reservation in advance.
9．What is Baidu’s financial strategy for its robotaxi service?
A．To count on official helps. B．To charge high fares initially.
C．To cover a major part of the cost. D．To avoid financial involvement.10．What can be inferred about the future of robotaxis in China?
A．They will be limited to developed cities.
B．They are expected to become profitable.
C．They will face significant regulatory difficulties.
D．They are likely to be replaced by other vehicles.
11．Why does the author mention General Motors and Tesla?
A．To make a comparison between them.
B．To introduce competitors of Apollo Go.
C．To present global situations of robotaxis.
D．To explain reasons for the unemployment.
D
In the late nineteenth century, art critics regarded seventeenth-century Dutch paintings as direct
reflections of reality. The paintings were discussed as an index of the democracy of a society that
chose to represent its class, action, and occupations exactly as they were, wide-ranging realism was
seen as the great accomplishment of Dutch art. However, the achievement of more recent study of
Dutch art has been the recovery of the fact that such paintings are to be taken as symbolizing
mortality, the renaissance of earthly life, and the power of God, and as message that range from the
mildly moralizing to the firmly didactic. How explicit and consistent the symbolizing process was
intended to be is a much thornier matter, but anyone who has more familiarity than a passing
acquaintance with Dutch literature or with the kinds of images used in illustrated books (above all
emblem books) will know how much less pervasive was the habit of investing ordinary objects than
of investing scenes with meaning that go be-y ond their surface and outward appearance. In the
mid-1960s, Eddy de Jongh published an extraordinary array of material — especially from the
emblem books and vernacular literature — that confirmed the unreliability of taking Dutch pictures
at surface value alone.
The major difficulty, however, with the findings of critics such as de Jongh is that it is not easy
to assess the multiplicity of levels in which Dutch viewers interpreted these pictures. De Jongh’s
followers typically regard the pictures as purely symbolic. Not every object within Dutch paintings
need be interpreted in terms of the gloss given to its equivalent representation in the emblem books.
Not every foot warmer is to be interpreted in terms of the foot warmer in Rowmer Visscher’sSinnepoppen of 1614, not every bridle is an emblem of restraint (though many were indeed just that).
To maintain as Brown does, that the two children in Netscher’s painting A Lady Teaching a
Child to Read stand for industry and idleness is to fail to understand that the painting has a variety of
possible meanings, even though the picture undoubtedly carriers unmistakable symbolic meanings,
too. Modern Art historians may well find the discovery of parallels be-tween a painting and a specific
emblem exciting, they may, like seventeenth-century viewers, search for the double that lie behind
many paintings. But seventeenth-century response can hardly be reduced to the level of formula. To
suggest otherwise is to imply a laboriousness of mental process that may well characterize modern
interpretations of seventeenth-century Dutch Art, but that was, for the most part, not characteristic in
the seventeenth century.
12．The passage is primarily concerned with which of the following?
A．Reconciling two different points of view about how art reflects.
B．Criticizing a traditional method of interpretation.
C．Describing and evaluating a recent critical approach.
D．Describing a long-standing controversy and how it was resolved.
13．The author of the passage mentions bridles in the highlighted portion of the passage most likely
in order to ______.
A．Suggest that restraint was only one of the many symbolic meanings attached to bridles
B．Provide an example of an everyday, physical object that was not endowed with symbolic
meaning
C．Provide an example of an object that modern critics have endowed with symbolic meaning
different from the meaning assigned it by seventeenth-century Dutch artists
D．Provide an example of an object with symbolic meaning that was not always used as a
symbol
14．Which of the following best describes the function of the last paragraph of the passage?
A．It provides specific applications of the critical approach introduced in the preceding
paragraph.
B．It present a caveat about the critical approach discussed in the preceding paragraph.
C．It presents the research on which a theory presented in the preceding paragraph is based.
D．It refutes a theory presented in the preceding paragraph and advocates a return to a moretraditional approach.
15．The passage suggests which of the following about emblem books in seventeenth-century
Holland?
A．They confirm that seventeenth century Dutch painting depict some objects and scenes rarely
found in daily life.
B．They are more useful than vernacular literature in providing information about the sym-bolic
content of seventeenth-century Dutch painting.
C．They have been misinterpreted by art critics, such as de Jongh, who claim seventeenth-
century Dutch paintings contain symbolic meaning.
D．They contain material that challenges the assumptions of the nineteenth-century critics about
seventeenth-century Dutch painting.

Stress is unavoidable in life. We all face it daily, whether it is a small inconvenience or a major
life challenge. Stress negatively affects all aspects of our lives both personally and professionally.
16 So what can we do about it? Here are some helpful tips to fight stress, defeat it and move on.
Prioritize
17 The longer you let something sit, the more it will weigh on you and take up
valuable brain space.
Practice self-care
Here are the key aspects to self-care that so often get forgotten：
●Drink water. Prevent tiredness, help digestion, your skin and your sleep.
●Stretch. Get oxygen flowing into your muscles before or during a stressful situation.
●Exercise regularly. Don’t let your busy schedule take priority over your health.
● 18 Read, take a bath, go for a run, listen to music, or phone a friend.
Communicate
Find a network of people who you can vent (宣泄) to. This is a fantastic way to reduce
bringing work troubles and stress home with you. You have the opportunity to blow off the first
build-up of steam. 19Breathe
Breathing deeply brings more oxygen into your body, producing endorphins (内啡肽). They
fight with cortisol, a chemical which is a result of anxiety or stress. Did you know breathing is
responsible for most of your body’s detoxification (排毒) 20 This critical part of calming
yourself down allows you the space and time to focus on the problem at hand and have a quiet mind
to tackle what’s ahead of you.
A．Find time for you.
B．Read and practice more.
C．Cross off the most stressful tasks first.
D．So you can go home a bit more calm and sensible.

Entering the eighth grade meant a new classroom to me, but the change had nothing to do with
me. From my perspective, a classroom was just a classroom. I longed for the outdoor world, the hills
of Tennessee where I was raised. My teachers didn’t value the attraction of hidden caves, gentlestreams and the wild bears, just as I didn’t find much interest in math, history and the art of
calligraphy. My head teacher often told me, “Douglas, you need to concentrate on your study instead
of daydreaming.”
However, the rugged land, the wildlife and the adventures that awaited outdoors were all I
could think about while I was chained to my eighth-grade desk. It seemed to me that there were two
types of people in the world: those who belonged to the classrooms and those who belonged to the
mountains. The teacher, Miss Cook, seemed to know which one I belonged to and had put me far
away from the window.
“Douglas Clark.” She caught me when I was daydreaming and said she’d visit my parents if it
continued. I made a joke on her. The class laughed, but Miss Cook did not. “How clever!” she said.
“I think you should stay after school and share more of your cleverness.”
After school, I was waiting for Miss Cook’s punishment in the classroom when she came in
and said to me. “I want you to tell me what you love about the world outside that window,” she said.
I was so puzzled that I didn’t know what to say. Was she setting some kind of trap? But Miss
Cook really seemed interested. She listened attentively and even smiled as I shared my thought with
her. “I’d like you to write a 100-word story about the outdoor adventure you enjoyed most.” She said
and let me go home.
I turned in my paper the next day and waited for Miss Cook’s reaction. “This story was wonderful!”
She said.
“I would like you to write another story, but remember to do your other assignments first.” Miss
Cook said.
