Every morning at 6 a. m., Mr. Lin's bamboo char workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels (凿子). The first
strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers who were
setting up their stalls. The scent of damp earth and fresh bamboo chips filled the air. Passersby paused to watch
his leathery hands dance across the golden strips, their movements both delicate and assured.
One day, I found him bent over a half-woven chair frame, humming an opera tune from his youth. Sunlight
cut through dust motes, catching the sweat on his brow as he cut a stubborn strip with precision. “Bamboo
remembers,” he said, tapping its smooth surface with a rough finger. “Cut too fast, it splits; too slow, it laughs at
your hesitation.” His tools — worn smooth by forty winters — moved with the certainty of tides, their edges
polished by years of patience and practice.
By noon, tourists crowded his display window, taking photos of chairs labeled “Handcrafted: 58hours.” A
college student laughed, “Why not use machines ” Mr. Lin smiled and plucked a factory-made chair from the
corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its uneven legs. “Machines don't feel the bamboo's
song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his own creation's seamless curves.
At dusk, he applied the final coat of tung(梧桐) oil, transforming pale bamboo into golden liquid. His wife
brought tea, whispering, “The landlord's raising rent again.” He gazed at his workshop's cracked walls, then at the
chair made to be a newborn's nursery. “We’ll manage,” he decided.
As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin's
chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted.
24. What kind of place does Paragraph One describe
A. A lonely workshop ignored by visitors.
B. An old street marked by craft rhythms.
C. A large town characterized by bamboo production.
D. An energetic marketplace filled with dealers.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Lin
A. Patient and modest. B. Creative and humorous.
C. Dedicated and skillful. D. Efficient and ambitious.
26. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. The rising rent forced him to raise chair prices.
B. Craft skills preservation mattered a lot to Mr. Lin.
C. His wife disapproved of his dedication to bamboo craft.
D. Mr. Lin would close his workshop due to financial pressure.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. The Song of the Chair Maker B. The Daily Life of a Factory Worker
C. The Future of Bamboo Furniture D. The Struggles of a Traditional Business
C
J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye remains a classic novel of adolescent rebellion and isolation,
connecting with generations since its 1951 publication. Through the voice of Holden Caulfield, a teenager kicked
out of prep school, Salinger captures the raw emotions of youth —— anger, confusion, and a desperate search for
realness in a world he dismisses as “phoney”. The novel's lasting power lies not in grand adventures but in its
intimate portrayal of Holden's internal struggles, which reflect universal teenage experiences.
Holden's journey through New York City acts as a psychological exploration. He criticizes the hypocrisy(虚
伪) of the adult world, mocks social expectations, and fantasizes about escaping to a simpler life “away from all
the nonsense.” Yet beneath his cynical (愤世嫉俗的) appearance lies vulnerability.
Symbolism deepens the novel's exploration of innocence and loss. The repeated image of the “catcher in the
rye” —— Holden's fantasy of saving children from falling off a cliff —— symbolizes his wish to preserve
childhood innocence. His repeated visits to the Museum of Natural History, where displays stay unchanged,
reveal his Ingoing for stability. The ducks in Central Park's lake, which mysteriously disappear each winter,
mirror Holden's anxiety about life's uncertainties. Even the novel's controversial language, criticized when first
published and briefly defended later in one publisher's preface (序言) as “authentic adolescent voice”, serves as a
rebellion against social norms, making Holden's voice feel startlingly real.
Though set in the 1950s, The Catcher in the Rye continues to speak to modern teenagers. In an era dominated
by social media and artificial identities, Holden's hatred of hypocrisy feels strikingly relatable. Unlike today's
digital interactions, Holden's handwritten letters and face-to-face encounters in the novel emphasize the original
and pure nature of human connection. Salinger's refusal to romanticize adolescence ——offering no easy answers
to Holden's pain —— challenges readers to confront their own struggles with growing up. The novel endures not
as a relic but as a timeless conversation about the confusion and struggles of youth.
28. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A comment on modern education. B. A book review of Salinger's novel.
C. A publisher's preface for a special edition. D. A psychological study on teenage rebellion.
29. What does the underlined word “phoney” in paragraph 1 most likely mean
A. Fake. B. Dangerous.
C. Traditional. D. Complicated.
30. According to paragraph 3, what does the image “catcher in the rye” represent
A. Holden's admiration for rural life. B. Holden's desire to escape society.
C. Holden's criticism of education systems. D. Holden's wish to protect childhood purity.
31. What does Salinger agree with according to the final paragraph
A. Adolescence deserves romanticizing.
B. Genuine human connections are vital.
C. Social media fosters sincere connections.
D. Teenagers require straightforward life solutions.
D
Dreams are pure emotional and cognitive gold. Those often super-realistic, broken images and plot lines that
can instantly disappear when we open our eyes, allow us not only to explore the themes and challenges of our day,
but to step into the what-ifs of tomorrow.
Whether we remember our dreams or not, our brain and dreams are multi-tasking to the maximum extent
while we sleep. Together, they are weakening negative ones, improving our stress recovery ability, cognitive function, problem-solving capabilities and our mental health, all of which explain the emotional rollercoaster that can come with sleep deprivation (剥夺). When we don't get enough sleep, we' re robbed of those invaluable
sleep-dependent advantages that give us a depth of insight and emotional processing.
Not all dreams are made equal. It's the vivid dreams that take place during our rapid eye movement(REM)
sleep, in the second half of the night, that really deliver when it comes to building our emotional recovery ability.
The less vivid, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) dreams that occur when we first go to sleep have their own vital
learning and memory-consolidating role to play, too. But if we haven't had enough sleep, we' re likely to be short
of REM, with consequences that can carry into our day.
According to dream theorists Robert Stickgold and Antonio Zadra, there are two standout benefits we get
from our dream life. First, the narratives we create that allow us to travel in time —— “to experience the thoughts,
sensations and emotions generated by those narratives” —— effectively rehearsing (排 练 ) and actually
experiencing the what-ifs of our life. And second, the space that dreams create where we can not only imagine
possible events, but where we' re free “to plan, to plot, to explore”
In our virtual REM world, our brain searches through memories, making connections to help process daily
worries and find solutions, so that once we've “slept on it”, we can definitely have a much deeper and greater
perspective.
32. Why does the author mention “emotional rollercoaster” in paragraph 2
A. To describe the fun of dreaming vividly. B. To show why people enjoy rollercoasters.
C. To highlight the risks of inadequate sleep. D. To explain how dreams process daily worries.
33. What happens if REM sleep is reduced
A. More vivid NREM dreams. B. Worse daytime emotions.
C. Faster memory formation. D. Longer deep sleep time.
34. What do dreams help us do according to Stickgold
A. Forget bad experiences. B. Make memories stronger.
C. Increase sleep time. D. Practice future situations.
35. What message does the author mainly convey
A. Nightmares harm mental health.
B. Dreams strengthen mind and emotions.
C. REM sleep is the key to emotional balance.
D. Eight hours' sleep is needed to improve health.

Culture Shock
Culture shock is an experience a person may have when one moves to a cultural environment which is
different from one’ s own. 36 Culture shock consists of four distinct phases: honeymoon, negotiation,
adjustment, and mastery.
Honeymoon. During this period, the differences between the old culture and the new one are seen in a
romantic light. For example, in moving to a new country, an individual might love the new food, the pace of life,
and the locals’ habits. During the first few weeks, most people are fascinated by the new culture. 37 However,
like most honeymoon periods, this stage eventually ends.
Negotiation. After usually around three months, differences between the old and new cultures become
apparent and may create anxiety. 38 The most important change in the period is communication: People often
feel lonely and homesick because they are not yet used to the new environment.
Adjustment. Again, after usually 6 to 12 months, one grows accustomed to the new culture and develops
routines. One knows what to expect in most situations and the host country no longer feels all that new. One starts
to develop problem-solving skills and begins to accept new culture with a positive attitude. 39 Negative
reactions and responses to the culture are reduced.
Mastery. In this period, individuals are able to participate fully and comfortably in the host culture. Mastery
does not mean total conversion; people often keep many traits from their earlier culture, such as accents and
languages while they immerse themselves in new culture. 40
A. The culture begins to make sense.
B. This stage is also called the bicultural stage.
C. It is the result of being in an unfamiliar environment.
D. The first step is to ask yourself “what is culture shock ”
E. They associate with locals who are polite to the foreigners.
F. Excitement eventually gives way to unpleasant feelings of frustration.
G. Knowing about the culture of the host country in advance, you'll be less shocked.

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。
John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl
whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the
book, but in the notes penciled in the margin (空 白 处 ). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and a
beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner's name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve
in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed.
The topics of their conversation ranged from sports to poetry. Far away from home, John was delighted to have a
friend who he could relate to. He once requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if they could truly talk, it
wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was
suggested — 7: 00 p. m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet
the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked
directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another
woman with a red rose standing nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing
the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split (劈开) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but
longed for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied and supported him.
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。
Finally John approached the woman with the red rose, who was wearing a smile.
Entering the cafe across the road, he saw the charming girl sitting by the window.

Every morning at 6 a. m., Mr. Lin's bamboo char workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels (凿子). The first
strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers who were
setting up their stalls. The scent of damp earth and fresh bamboo chips filled the air. Passersby paused to watch
his leathery hands dance across the golden strips, their movements both delicate and assured.
One day, I found him bent over a half-woven chair frame, humming an opera tune from his youth. Sunlight
cut through dust motes, catching the sweat on his brow as he cut a stubborn strip with precision. “Bamboo
remembers,” he said, tapping its smooth surface with a rough finger. “Cut too fast, it splits; too slow, it laughs at
your hesitation.” His tools — worn smooth by forty winters — moved with the certainty of tides, their edges
polished by years of patience and practice.
By noon, tourists crowded his display window, taking photos of chairs labeled “Handcrafted: 58hours.” A
college student laughed, “Why not use machines ” Mr. Lin smiled and plucked a factory-made chair from the
corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its uneven legs. “Machines don't feel the bamboo's
song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his own creation's seamless curves.
At dusk, he applied the final coat of tung(梧桐) oil, transforming pale bamboo into golden liquid. His wife
brought tea, whispering, “The landlord's raising rent again.” He gazed at his workshop's cracked walls, then at the
chair made to be a newborn's nursery. “We’ll manage,” he decided.
As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin's
chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted.

J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye remains a classic novel of adolescent rebellion and isolation,
connecting with generations since its 1951 publication. Through the voice of Holden Caulfield, a teenager kicked
out of prep school, Salinger captures the raw emotions of youth —— anger, confusion, and a desperate search for
realness in a world he dismisses as “phoney”. The novel's lasting power lies not in grand adventures but in its
intimate portrayal of Holden's internal struggles, which reflect universal teenage experiences.
Holden's journey through New York City acts as a psychological exploration. He criticizes the hypocrisy(虚
伪) of the adult world, mocks social expectations, and fantasizes about escaping to a simpler life “away from all
the nonsense.” Yet beneath his cynical (愤世嫉俗的) appearance lies vulnerability.
Symbolism deepens the novel's exploration of innocence and loss. The repeated image of the “catcher in the
rye” —— Holden's fantasy of saving children from falling off a cliff —— symbolizes his wish to preserve
childhood innocence. His repeated visits to the Museum of Natural History, where displays stay unchanged,
reveal his Ingoing for stability. The ducks in Central Park's lake, which mysteriously disappear each winter,
mirror Holden's anxiety about life's uncertainties. Even the novel's controversial language, criticized when first
published and briefly defended later in one publisher's preface (序言) as “authentic adolescent voice”, serves as a
rebellion against social norms, making Holden's voice feel startlingly real.
Though set in the 1950s, The Catcher in the Rye continues to speak to modern teenagers. In an era dominated
by social media and artificial identities, Holden's hatred of hypocrisy feels strikingly relatable. Unlike today's
digital interactions, Holden's handwritten letters and face-to-face encounters in the novel emphasize the original
and pure nature of human connection. Salinger's refusal to romanticize adolescence ——offering no easy answers
to Holden's pain —— challenges readers to confront their own struggles with growing up. The novel endures not
as a relic but as a timeless conversation about the confusion and struggles of youth.
28. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A comment on modern education. B. A book review of Salinger's novel.
C. A publisher's preface for a special edition. D. A psychological study on teenage rebellion.
29. What does the underlined word “phoney” in paragraph 1 most likely mean
A. Fake. B. Dangerous.
C. Traditional. D. Complicated.
30. According to paragraph 3, what does the image “catcher in the rye” represent
A. Holden's admiration for rural life. B. Holden's desire to escape society.
C. Holden's criticism of education systems. D. Holden's wish to protect childhood purity.
31. What does Salinger agree with according to the final paragraph
A. Adolescence deserves romanticizing.
B. Genuine human connections are vital.
C. Social media fosters sincere connections.
D. Teenagers require straightforward life solutions.
D
Dreams are pure emotional and cognitive gold. Those often super-realistic, broken images and plot lines that
can instantly disappear when we open our eyes, allow us not only to explore the themes and challenges of our day,
but to step into the what-ifs of tomorrow.
Whether we remember our dreams or not, our brain and dreams are multi-tasking to the maximum extent
while we sleep. Together, they are weakening negative ones, improving our stress recovery ability, cognitive function, problem-solving capabilities and our mental health, all of which explain the emotional rollercoaster that can come with sleep deprivation (剥夺). When we don't get enough sleep, we' re robbed of those invaluable
sleep-dependent advantages that give us a depth of insight and emotional processing.
Not all dreams are made equal. It's the vivid dreams that take place during our rapid eye movement(REM)
sleep, in the second half of the night, that really deliver when it comes to building our emotional recovery ability.
The less vivid, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) dreams that occur when we first go to sleep have their own vital
learning and memory-consolidating role to play, too. But if we haven't had enough sleep, we' re likely to be short
of REM, with consequences that can carry into our day.
According to dream theorists Robert Stickgold and Antonio Zadra, there are two standout benefits we get
from our dream life. First, the narratives we create that allow us to travel in time —— “to experience the thoughts,
sensations and emotions generated by those narratives” —— effectively rehearsing (排 练 ) and actually
experiencing the what-ifs of our life. And second, the space that dreams create where we can not only imagine
possible events, but where we' re free “to plan, to plot, to explore”
In our virtual REM world, our brain searches through memories, making connections to help process daily
worries and find solutions, so that once we've “slept on it”, we can definitely have a much deeper and greater
perspective.
32. Why does the author mention “emotional rollercoaster” in paragraph 2
A. To describe the fun of dreaming vividly. B. To show why people enjoy rollercoasters.
C. To highlight the risks of inadequate sleep. D. To explain how dreams process daily worries.
33. What happens if REM sleep is reduced
A. More vivid NREM dreams. B. Worse daytime emotions.
C. Faster memory formation. D. Longer deep sleep time.
34. What do dreams help us do according to Stickgold
A. Forget bad experiences. B. Make memories stronger.
C. Increase sleep time. D. Practice future situations.
35. What message does the author mainly convey
A. Nightmares harm mental health.
B. Dreams strengthen mind and emotions.
C. REM sleep is the key to emotional balance.
D. Eight hours' sleep is needed to improve health.

Culture Shock
Culture shock is an experience a person may have when one moves to a cultural environment which is
different from one’ s own. 36 Culture shock consists of four distinct phases: honeymoon, negotiation,
adjustment, and mastery.
Honeymoon. During this period, the differences between the old culture and the new one are seen in a
romantic light. For example, in moving to a new country, an individual might love the new food, the pace of life,
and the locals’ habits. During the first few weeks, most people are fascinated by the new culture. 37 However,
like most honeymoon periods, this stage eventually ends.
Negotiation. After usually around three months, differences between the old and new cultures become
apparent and may create anxiety. 38 The most important change in the period is communication: People often
feel lonely and homesick because they are not yet used to the new environment.
Adjustment. Again, after usually 6 to 12 months, one grows accustomed to the new culture and develops
routines. One knows what to expect in most situations and the host country no longer feels all that new. One starts
to develop problem-solving skills and begins to accept new culture with a positive attitude. 39 Negative
reactions and responses to the culture are reduced.
Mastery. In this period, individuals are able to participate fully and comfortably in the host culture. Mastery
does not mean total conversion; people often keep many traits from their earlier culture, such as accents and
languages while they immerse themselves in new culture. 40
A. The culture begins to make sense.
B. This stage is also called the bicultural stage.
C. It is the result of being in an unfamiliar environment.
D. The first step is to ask yourself “what is culture shock ”
E. They associate with locals who are polite to the foreigners.
F. Excitement eventually gives way to unpleasant feelings of frustration.
G. Knowing about the culture of the host country in advance, you'll be less shocked.

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。
John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl
whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the
book, but in the notes penciled in the margin (空 白 处 ). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and a
beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner's name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve
in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed.
The topics of their conversation ranged from sports to poetry. Far away from home, John was delighted to have a
friend who he could relate to. He once requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if they could truly talk, it
wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was
suggested — 7: 00 p. m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet
the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked
directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another
woman with a red rose standing nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing
the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split (劈开) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but
longed for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied and supported him.
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。
Finally John approached the woman with the red rose, who was wearing a smile.
Entering the cafe across the road, he saw the charming girl sitting by the window.
