turned around and saw how 28 I had traveled, I felt myself slipping into nervous self-doubt. What
if I 29 and twisted my ankle?
I took a deep breath and, like the woman on the 30 , realized with relief that I could certainly
make it 31 . When I finally stepped back onto the shore, I not only felt 32 , but also
confident and accomplished.
When 33 plant seeds of “I can’t” in your mind, maybe you’ll remember the woman on the
plane. Wherever life has brought you, consider that there is a(n) 34 to coming back to yourself.
You have the power of resilience within you whenever you are 35 it.

On a cool autumn evening, while wandering through the streets of the old town, my attention was
captured by a charming bookstore located between towering buildings. The warm light through its windows
drew me closer, and without realizing it, I stood at its entrance, peering through the glass.
Earlier that day, after enjoying a pleasant lunch with friends, I had decided to explore the city on foot.
Despite passing through this part of town numerous times, I had never spotted the charming bookstore.
However, on this particular evening, something about it seemed irresistibly inviting.
Gently brushing away the fallen leaves from the window frame, I took a closer look inside. Rows of
shelves filled with books of various sizes and colors stretched across the small and friendly interior, each
volume whispering tales of adventure and wisdom. As my eyes moved over the titles, a wave of fond
memories washed over me, transporting me back to my childhood.Growing up, my world was dominated by sports and outdoor activities, often at my father’s insistence.
He would say, “You need to play football, Alex. It builds character.” Yet deep down, I always felt out of
place on the football field, my mind wandering to distant lands and heroic tales.
Every Sunday, after an exhausting football match, I would secretly go to my room and lose myself in
books. The characters became my friends, and their journeys provided my escape. I still vividly recall the
overwhelming joy I experienced when I first read about the adventures of a young wizard. His bravery and
determination deeply touched me.
One day, our school librarian noticed my passion for reading and suggested I join the book club.
Hesitant and unsure of my father’s reaction, I took the club flyer (宣传单) home, my heart racing with a mix
of fear and hope. To my surprise, he was supportive, his typically serious expression softening as he signed
the permission slip.
Joining the book club marked a turning point. I discovered a community where I truly belonged, and
my passion for reading was embraced and nurtured. I began to craft my own stories, each one reflecting my
dreams and desires.
As I stood there, lost in these thoughts, the door of bookstore opened, inviting me in. Stepping inside
felt like coming home, a place where dreams and reality met. It was a reminder of how books had shaped my
life, guiding me through the challenges of childhood and inspiring me to find my true passion.
41．What was the author’s first impression of the bookstore on the autumn evening?
A．It appeared to be closed and deserted. B．It seemed disappointing and dark.
C．It was incredibly welcome. D．It looked modern and busy.
42．Why did the author’s father ask him to play football during his upbringing?
A．To improve his strong personal qualities.
B．To keep him physically fit and healthy.
C．To prepare him for a sports career.
D．To follow a family tradition.
43．The father’s act of signing the club flyer implies that he is ________.
A．strict and demanding B．mindless and annoying
C．considerate and approving D．protective and understanding
44．What effect did joining the book club have on the author?
A．It isolated him from social life. B．It made him give up on sports entirely.
C．It shaped the author’s personal growth. D．It changed the author’s view on reading.

For generations, we’ve spent the first third of our lives acquiring the college degrees we need to find
jobs. These degrees are the stamps on our professional passports that pave the way for the remaining two-
thirds of our journey. However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees, it’ll be about job skills.
According to the World Economic Forum, over one billion jobs, almost one-third of all jobs worldwide,
are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. We’ve already seen this happen. Think of the
apps you use to shop, track orders and simply stay informed. The stores need to keep them up and running at
all hours, day after day, all year round, meaning they need those who can analyze and secure customer data.
In these and other similar situations, people are the organizing force making sure technology works the
way we want it to. This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs. According to the Forum’s Jobs of
Tomorrow report, there’ll be a rapid influx of roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy, as well as
new roles in engineering, cloud computing and product development. These jobs need talent with relevant
skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.
Shifting our focus from degrees to skills will mean transitioning (过渡) to always-on skills-based
education and employment organizations that acknowledge not just certification but fitness-for-job and
employment as outcomes. In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the
workforce — the trend will become stronger.
When it comes to skills, employers look for more than just technical skills. Companies want people
with an eye for detail, creative problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset and an ability to handle
complex issues. These also are skills that can be learnt. Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills
will be in greater demand in the workplace.
46．What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A．To propose a definition. B．To present an argument.
C．To give an example. D．To make a comparison.
47．How does technology influence the jobs?
A．It calls for higher demands for degrees. B．It makes many jobs less challenging.
C．It reduces their dependence on degrees. D．It connects them with degrees closely.
48．What does the underlined word “influx” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Increase. B．Recovery. C．Decline. D．Change.
49．What will future employers value most concerning their staff?
A．Their traditional technical skills. B．Their continuous learning abilities.C．Their certification-based education. D．Their desire to start their own business.
50．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Skills Are Different From Degrees B．Degrees Will Be More Competitive
C．Degrees Will Shape the Future of Work D．Skills Are More Vital for Future Work
D
When things don’t seem to go right, what’s your first thought? Do you just give up or do you make a
promise to try a different approach? If you give up the effort simply because you’ve run into difficulty,
you’re not only giving yourself a reason to call yourself a failure, you’re also depriving (剥夺) yourself of
the opportunity to learn.
Nothing in life stays the same. Everything is always in a state of change. Your ability to recognize
change and make peace with it, while also finding the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions, will
determine how effectively you can continue making progress toward your life goals.
Indeed, when you discover and accept your ability to be flexible, all things are possible. That’s because
the realization that there are other ways to go about dealing with what happens in life and to find ways
around seemingly impossible difficulties makes you stronger, more self-confident and satisfied. It also
greatly improves your perception (感知) of your abilities.
Consider that overcoming difficulties is quite an achievement. When you combine that with the
confidence you feel in being able to analyze and put together a workable approach or solution, you wind up
with a positive outcome overall. This satisfying result adds to your motivation to solve the next item on your
list, to go for another goal that may be a bit more challenging.
This ability to overcome difficulties doesn’t come about automatically, yet it is a talent you can foster.
Indeed, it may seem like a losing plan, especially if you don’t see results right away. Instead of losing hope,
keep on going.
Have you ever disappointed yourself despite your efforts when you’ve encountered challenges in
adapting to changing circumstances? Suppose you haven’t been able to figure out a way around them or
couldn’t determine a workable approach. Is this a terrible thing? Does it mean you’re certain to forever be at
the end of the line when it comes to accomplishments? It’s not like that. What it does indicate, however, is
that you may yet keep some unforgiving thoughts about your own abilities. You may, for example, not trust
your instincts (本能) or you might not believe you’re capable enough of taking a calculated risk.
51．We can infer from the first paragraph that ______.
A．running into difficulty is a valid reason to stop tryingB．it’s a rare thing for people to have a good opportunity
C．facing challenges offers learning and growth opportunities
D．it’s better to give up than persist when faced with difficulty
52．What do Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 talk about?
A．Adapting and persisting through change to achieve goals.
B．Changing conditions to create new opportunities.
C．Accepting failure when faced with difficulties.
D．Giving up to avoid further complications.
53．What can drive you to move forward successfully?
A．Engaging in self-criticism for every perceived failure.
B．Missing chances to gain insights from challenging situations.
C．Abandoning efforts when confronted with a difficult challenge.
D．Conquering challenges with confidence and achieving positive results.
54．What might be the cause of failing to adapt to changing conditions?
A．You may have negative thoughts about your own abilities.
B．You may have a strong capability for taking calculated risks.
C．You are likely to give up on accomplishing anything significant.
D．You are guaranteed to be always at the forefront of achievements.
55．What message does the passage convey?
A．The importance of avoiding difficulties. B．The need to give up when facing challenges.
C．The benefits of staying in your comfort zone. D．The significance of flexibility and adapting to
change.

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Growing up poor and having parents who didn’t receive a good education, I often struggled at school.
What was worse, my parents often moved to different places. They likely did not realize the damaging
effects it had on my learning as they moved from apartment to apartment, year after year. I attended seven
different schools from kindergarten through the 8th grade. With a fragmented (片段的) education, I entered
high school, not doing well in literacy and math. But it was not until I attended a major public state
university that I really understood the academic gaps that I had in comparison to my peers. I had to workparticularly hard to not only understand the textbooks and lectures, but also catch myself up in basic skills of
writing and comprehension. But I wasn’t the one to forgo. No matter how hard it was, I persisted.
Today, I have many degrees, three of them are Master’s Degrees and I am currently in my second year
of studying for my doctorate in Educational Leadership.
I share my story for various reasons, but mainly due to the hope that another young child, possibly
growing up poor, can realize that an education is the ticket to the quality of life. It can happen for that child.
One can be successful! One can overcome all obstacles.
Some days will be extremely tougher than others and someday those accomplishments will glow (发光),
but giving up is not a wise choice. It certainly won’t lead to the light at the end of the tunnel. Therefore, we
should take advantage of the challenges and difficulties to make us stronger and reflect on how to beat all
the differences. We should foster our thinking that current challenges have been designed to build upon our
strength, not tear us down. In this way, we can fulfill our long-term goals.
56．What made the author’s study much worse when he was a child? (no more than 5 words)
57．What did the author realize after attending a major public state university? (no more than 10 words)
58．How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words)
59．Why did the author want to share his story? (no more than 15 words)
60．What do you learn from the author’s story? (no more than 20 words)
