Todd Bol, a retired businessman, could never have expected that a wooden container he built in his front yard one
day would have the global impact it does today.
Bol built a dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse on a post and he put it in his yard as a free
community library to remember his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Bol's prototype gave birth to
Little Free Library (LFL), a nonprofit organization that seeks to place small, accessible book exchange boxes in
neighborhoods around the world. The concept is simple: Neighbors are invited to share a book, leave a book, or both.
Today, there are over 50 ,000 of these libraries registered in 70 countries.
Almost everyone can register with LFL and start a library as long as the person keeps it in good shape and makes
sure that book materials are appropriate for his/her neighborhood. Library owners can create their own library boxes;
therefore, the libraries are usually unique in appearance, and there seems to be no limit to the possibilities. One library
in California was built out of a used wine container； another in Texas had tiny stairs and bright colored walls. Once
registered, libraries are assigned a number at LFL's website. The LFL Index lists the locations of all libraries with GPS
coordinates (坐标)and other information. Owners receive a sign saying “Little Free Library”.
People say they have been attracted to pick up a book when walking by a Little Free Library, out of curiosity and
because it's convenient. Some sidewalk librarians say they have met more neighbors since having a little library in their
front yard. Bol is also most proud of the way Little Free Library is bringing communities together. "It's started a
neighborhood exchange. It gets people talking and more comfortable with their neighbors," he says. "This leads to them
helping each other."
24. What does the underlined word "prototype" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. A community center. B. A dollhouse on a post.
C. A book exchange box. D. A nonprofit organization.
25. What can we learn about the operation of a Little Free Library?
A. There is no limit to the selection of books.
B. The library can come in any shape and color.
C. The library needs to hire many professional librarians.
D. The owner must first be assigned a number from the LFL website.
26. What can be inferred about Little Free Library?
A. It helps improve GPS functions.
B. It connects libraries around the world.
C. It makes reading accessible to the poor.
D. It helps restore human connections.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. LFL: A Booster to Shared Reading
B. LFL: The Best Place to Meet Neighbors
C. Todd Bol: A Successful Book Businessman
D. Reading: An Approach to Improving Yourself

One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and
the growing multilanguage trend. “One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact
that, with a few important exceptions, mothertongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African
states.” said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the
University of Cape Town.
In response to the spread of English and the increased multilanguage trends arising from immigration, many
countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some countries, the use of languages other than the
national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions (规定)
was the 1994 “Toubon law” in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to
govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in
controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.
It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity” of a
language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language.
English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to
acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role
of the state regulation is that it has never been the AngloSaxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-
controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.
The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon—especially the need
to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and newways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.
28．Neville Alexander believes that ________.
A．mothertongue education is not practiced in all African countries
B．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa
C．globalization has led to the rise of multilanguage trend
D．lack of mothertongue education can lead to economic failure
29.The underlined word “futile” (in Paragraph 2) most probably means “________”．
A．workable B．practical
C．useless D．unnecessary
30．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education.
B．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.
C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.
D．Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.
31．The best title for the passage is ________.
A．Fighting against the rule of English
B．Protecting local languages and identities
C．Globalization and multilanguage trend
D．To maintain the purity of language by law
D
We've been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us. We
want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy. Over the years, there have been several solutions to this
from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones, portable desks to ones that change into shelves.
However, the most hightech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called the Stir Kinetic Desk. The
desk learns your daily behavior and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep
you moving without interrupting your work flow.
You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule. If you tend to sit while
returning emails in the morning, but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call, the desk will learn
those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course, the desk can always be manually lowered or raised
by using the touch screen on the lower left corner of the desk.
When switching positions, the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up. If you're
not ready to switch positions at that time, you can tap the touch screen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.
The builtin touch screen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories
you've burned. You can even set goals for how long or how often you want to stand. The desk also works with fitness
devices like the Fitbit to track your movements.
All of that smart technology doesn't come cheap though. The M1 desk, which is the everyday model, runs a steep
$2,990, while the more executive model with added features, the F1, goes for $4,190.
While expensive, it's worth that thinking of how much time we spend at our desks. Much like a good mattress
(床垫), a good desk that works with you is worth the investment. Hopefully in a few years these smart, integrated desks
will be more common and less expensive.32．The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to ________.
A. help users with their work
B. keep users moving all the time
C. get users to exercise while working
D. remind users of their working schedule
33．Which is the feature of the touch screen of the desk?
A. It can tell users when to change positions.
B. It can track users' changes of positions.
C. It can keep users in a fixed position.
D. It can detect users' health condition.
34．Which of the following can best describe the desk?
A. Productive but challenging.
B. Convenient but unaffordable.
C. Complex and impractical.
D. Multifunctional and intelligent.
35．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. To spend money on such a desk is rewarding.
B. We should get such a desk as soon as possible.
C. It won't be long before the desk is widely used.
D. Desks play a very important role in our daily life.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
● Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person's name, repeat it. 36 You could also repeat the
name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
● Ask the other person to recite and repeat. 37 After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to
spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their
names.
● 3 8 Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them
will feel sympathy (同情) if you say, “I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.
What is it again？”
● Use associations (联想). 39 For example, you could make a mental note：“Vicki Cheng—tall, black
hair.” To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
● Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate (全神贯
注) on remembering just two or three names. 40 Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember
their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
A．Admit you don't know.
B．Recite and repeat names.
C．Free yourself from remembering everyone.D．You can let other people help you remember their names.
E．If you can't remember someone's name, you may tell him the truth.
F．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.
G．Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual.

18-year-old Sadiya was born in Deora, a small village in eastern India, but moved to the city of Mumbai when she
was 3．In 2020, when the pandemic(疫情)broke out, her father’s small business was forced to close temporarily and
the family returned to her ancestral village to wait out the pandemic．
However, it greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora，where almost
half of the villagers couldn’t read. Unable to afford textbooks, many families often withdrew their children from
schools. They didn’t wish to educate their children，many of whom had to work in the fields with parents though some
had the desire to read．
Sadiya, the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility, has been trying to seize opportunities to open
doors for others. Fluent in Hindi, Urdu, and English, she often speaks at inter-college events on the right to education
and enjoys a high reputation among college students．
Used to taking on challenges, Sadiya was determined to do something for the children. One day last July, Sadiya
sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a library”. Many shook their heads in disagreement—this wasn’t how a young girl should spend her time.
After many discussions, Sadiya finally convinced them and gained access to her relative’s guesthouse，mending
it with $67 that she’d won in public-speaking awards. She took the help of her uncle, Akbar, and cousin, Nawaz, and
got to work. Walls were repainted，the bamboo roof was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed, and the room
was filled with chairs and a long table．Vivid charts stuck on the walls—from anatomy(解剖)to transportation,
lightened the space. Looking at the newly-decorated“library”, Sadiya couldn’t hold back her excitement while
imagining the children reading books here by light.
All was ready except books. So what Sadiya was desperate to do next was fill the shelves with books. She drew on
all her savings and purchased many books suitable for children online.
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。
