“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, and then work my way up to be a sports announcer. I hitchhiked（搭便车）to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station --- and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases, big stations couldn’t risk hiring inexperienced person. “Go out in the remote areas and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said. I went back home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over（沸溢，发怒）. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station ” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, “What was that you said about sports Do you know anything about football ” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute boost to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words, “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
24. The reason why the author wasn’t hired in Chicago was probably that ____ .
A. he showed no confidence at the stations
B. there were no job available at the stations
C. he had no experience in radio broadcasting
D. there were too many people competing with him
25. We learn from the passage that ____.
A. the frustration of the author prevented him from performing well at WOC Radio
B. both of the author’s parents showed support when he was trying to search for a job
C. Peter MacArthur recognize the author’s talent in broadcasting after reading his resume
D. the author lost all his hope and courage when he was turned down by Montgomery Ward
26. What was most likely the author’s attitude towards Peter MacArthur？
A. He was worried that Peter wouldn’t believe in his ability.
B. He was afraid that his loud inner clam would annoy Peter.
C. He was angry that Peter didn’t offer him a satisfying position.
D. He was grateful that Peter could notice his broadcasting potential.
27. What lesson can you learn from the author’s experience in the passage
A. Well begun is half done. B. Prevention is better than cure.
C. No cross, no crown. D. Rome was not built in a day.
C
The sperm whale is an astonishing creature. It’s longer than a semi-truck, weighs more than 90, 000 pounds and is the largest member of the toothed whale family. It’s known to dive 6, 500 feet in search of food, and to stay down there for longer than an hour at a time.
Perhaps most fantastically, the sperm whale’s brain weighs as much as 20 pounds --- the biggest of any species on Earth. But when it comes to brains, is size all that matters There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal. But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.
A 2021 study published in Biology Letters, for example, looked back to 19th-century historical logbooks from whalers. Researchers found that sperm whales were at first easy to catch --- but almost immediately, the whales learned how to evade hunters and whaling success dropped by 60 percent. The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through sound waves to avoid being caught.
Animals that have big brains usually have a few things in common. They usually live long lives; for example, sperm whales can live for 70 years or longer. Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.
What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence --- meaning they’re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. Still, in proportion to (与…成比例) our body size, the human brain is bigger than that of the sperm whale.
Yet there’s still so much we don’t know about how smart sperm whales really are. And just like the whalers of a century ago, we have likely been underestimating marine mammals, whether large or small, for as long as we’ve known of their existence.
28. Why do people know little about the sperm whale’s intelligence
A. Sperm whales’ big size makes research difficult.
B. It didn’t attract scientists’ attention until recently.
C. Whalers didn’t keep enough records of their hunting.
D. Sperm whales usually stay deep down in the ocean.
29. What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3
A. Track. B. Avoid. C. Locate. D. Trick.
30. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 5
A. The nerve cells distinguish humans from animals.
B. Sperm whales have smaller brains than humans.
C. Spindle neurons make higher intelligence possible.
D. Emotional intelligence is unique to whales and humans.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Sperm Whales Are Astonishingly Smart
B. Sperm Whales Have the Biggest Brain
C. Break the Code of Whale Language
D. Unlock the Mystery of Sea Mammals
D
Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late—that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality, scientists have found.
So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride’s shown up and regularly annoy their friends And why is it so hard for us to fix it “There are all sorts of punishments for being late, but we are still late even when those punishments and consequences exist.” said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University.
One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that --- they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take—something known as the planning fallacy. Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.
Besides, forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. A 2023 study found that out of 181subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you’re doing. It’s also discovered there is a personality type that’s more likely to be late. While highly nervous, achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual. Type B individuals, however, who are calmer and more relaxed, have a higher chance to be late.
Admittedly, knowing all of this doesn’t necessarily help fix the problem. But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change.
32．What does the underlined word “fallacy” mean in paragraph 3
A．A reasonable argument． B．A mistaken belief.
C．A modest expectation. D．A realistic idea.
33．Which of the following is a feature of forever-late-comers
A．They tackle more than one task at a time.
B．They plan to spend longer time on a task.
C．They suffer from concentration difficulties.
D．They have high expectations for achievements.
34．What is a possible way to help those who are always late
A．Learning to accept who you are. B．Changing your personality type.
C．Keeping to the timetable accurately. D．Divide a task into smaller ones.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．Late comers should be severely punished.
B．Time management contributes to success.
C．The habit of being late is related to character.
D．Accepting your personality improves punctuality.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
You Are a Better Person Than You Think You Are
Maybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-appointed time frame. 36 But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure. You could indeed be a wonderful individual. You could actually be a much better person than you believe you are. So, let’s examine the idea that you might be better than you think.
You show kindness
Being polite and kind is the mark of a good person. When you do this, you are treating others like you would want to be treated. 37 Even the smallest of things do not go unnoticed and are traits that you have a good heart.
You are a positive person
Keeping an optimistic attitude is also a trait of a good person with a powerful character. It is easy to become negative with all the bad things going on in the world, but there’s another way to look at these things. When you’re actually better than you think, you will have the habit of looking on the bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone. 38
39
Being wise is not about being intelligent. It’s about learning from life experiences. Why does this make you a better person than you think Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you made. You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share lessons with others.
So, go easy on yourself. Appreciate who you are. If there are things you need to change, that’s okay. 40 It’s about our attitude and our heart. I bet, if you took the time to read this, you are a better person than you think.
A. You give honest comments.
B. It’s just all about showing optimism.
C. We all have problems and imperfections.
D. You are wise, and you share your wisdom.
E. Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.
F. Respecting others and their space shows adulthood, which is a sign of a truly good person.
G. This may include opening doors for others or picking up change for people in front of you at the checkout line.

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。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members. Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers’ face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
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。
The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节 读后续写（参考范文）
The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” With his heart racing, the boy pretended to be irritated by her “false judgement”, and stuck his hands in the pockets, “But it’s not my imagination -- ”While he was ready for a battle, the mother, taking out the second piece, softly continued, “This one is for your quick wit at dinner.” Staring at the chocolates with hesitation, he tried to tell whether she was tricking him. Still, he refused to reach for his reward. It didn’t bother the mother, because she went for the third one, “And this one is for your perfect repair.” This time, the boy, knowing that his mom had already discovered the whole story, slowly reached to the chocolates.
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. He lowered his head, mouthed several times and finally admitted his mistakes. Accepting his apology, the mother gently patted him on the back, and handed him one more chocolate. As the boy raised his eyes with puzzlement, she explained, “The last one is for your courage to confront your mistakes.” Holding little Ben in her arms, the mother knew that her son would taste the bittersweet in his chocolates.
