Sewing is an art. It is one that takes patience, time, and true talent. Julia,a woman from Chicago, is the definition of a talented tailor.
Julia’s inspiration for her designs comes from her grandma’s sketches (草图) from the 1940s. Julia’s grandma went to fashion school in her late teens and dropped out but she kept many of her sketches. Grandma showed Julia the designs she made back in fashion school, and Julia’s mind was blown.
When Grandma expressed her regret for not having the opportunity to see her sketches come to life, Julia decided not to have Grandma wait to witness it.
After sewing her grandma’s designs, Julia has been posting the final products on social media one by one, which has made popular. One of the most excellent designs she made was a beautiful gold cocktail dress, which took Julia about two months to finish.
Julia taught herself how to sew and has no professional training. Every month or so Julia continues to make her grandma’s designs a reality. Julia says,“She was very happy. I think she loves getting to connect with me and have something to do because she’s at a stage in life where, you know, many people don’t have many things to do. I think she is really proud and excited that I have completed it.”
From the social media, Julia has even gotten offers from people willing to buy her dresses, Julia is very pleased, but she claims since she isn’t an expert, she doesn’t feel comfortable selling them. However, seeing Julia teach herself how to sew with social media videos and design these dresses is giving her viewers the confidence to attempt something of their own!

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 traits, 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, and the paradox is that we are 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(谬误). Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.
Another trait is that forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. In a 2003 study run by Jeff Conte from San Diego State University found that out of 181 subway 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. Conte also discovered there is a personality type that’s more likely to be late. While highly strung(紧张不安), achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual. Type B individuals, however, who are more laid-back(漫不经心), 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.
8. What does the underlined word “paradox” mean in paragraph 2
A. Strategy. B. Argument. C. Solution. D. Puzzle.
9. What is a possible feature of forever-late-comers
A. They plan to spend more time on a task.
B. They tackle more than one task at a time.
C. They suffer from concentration difficulties.
D. They have high expectations for achievements.
10 Which advice can be given to people who are always late
A. Learn to accept who you are. B. Change your personality type.
C. Divide a task into smaller ones. D. Keep to the timetable accurately.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Time management contributes to success.
B Late comers should be severely punished.
C. One’s always being late is linked to personality.
D. Changing personality helps improve punctuality.
D
Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis, according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫 害), with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel, ” she says, “ that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people. ” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12, 189 km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise,” she says. Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “ not only important for them, but for all humanity, ” said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
12. What does the underlined phrase “final nail in the coffin” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The last straw.
B. The last challenge.
C. The last possibility.
D The last opportunity.
13. Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To explain the main reason for language density.
B. To show the common features of endangered languages.
C. To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D. To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
14. What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do
A. Support migrants to access local education.
B. Discourage people from massive migration.
C. Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D. Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B. Lost for Words: Climate Crisis Brings Threat of Catastrophe
C. Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D. Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis

The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (睡衣) top underneath，and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard.
Mohi murmured,“Sorry, teacher,”and rushed to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles(咯咯笑) quickly died down. Mohi’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name at the same time just to see him jump and stop suddenly. When he spotted the merry crowd in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. “Mohi must be listening to music, since he had never played music at school.”Hamed thought. He called Mohi’s name a few times but there was no response. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. The music played on.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Hamed looked closely through a window, his eyes widened in surprise.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Teacher’s Day came around, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform.

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了迟到的原因可能能与性格特征相关，并提出了一些相应的策略。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词paradox前文的内容“There are all sorts of punishments for being late(对于迟到，有各种各样的惩罚)”和后文的内容“we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist.(即使存在惩罚和后果，我们仍然会迟到)”可知，前文提出迟到了会有相应的惩罚，后文提出即使受到惩罚，但我们还是会迟到，故此处的划线词与D项“令人费解的事、难题”意思相近，迟到了会受到惩罚，令人费解的就是即使有惩罚，我们仍然会迟到，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Another trait is that forever -late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers.(永远迟到的人的另一个特点可能是多重任务的)”可知，永远迟到的人的特点可能是一次要处理很多任务，是多重任务的，故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“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.(对于那些经常低估任务的人来说，将一项任务分解成详细的步骤可以帮助人们准确地估计这项任务花的时间。)”可知，对于那些经常迟到的人，他们可以将任务分解成一些小任务，从而更好的估计任务所花费的时间，故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late - that’s an art, a frustrating art.

Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis, according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫 害), with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel, ” she says, “ that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people. ” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12, 189 km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise,” she says. Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “ not only important for them, but for all humanity, ” said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
12. What does the underlined phrase “final nail in the coffin” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The last straw.
B. The last challenge.
C. The last possibility.
D The last opportunity.
13. Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To explain the main reason for language density.
B. To show the common features of endangered languages.
C. To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D. To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
14. What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do
A. Support migrants to access local education.
B. Discourage people from massive migration.
C. Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D. Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B. Lost for Words: Climate Crisis Brings Threat of Catastrophe
C. Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D. Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据前文“Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫 害), with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct.(说少数民族语言的人经历了漫长的迫害历史，结果到20世纪20年代，澳大利亚、美国、南非和阿根廷的土著语言中有一半已经灭绝。)”介绍了少数民族语言消亡的情况，因此推断划线句“The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.( 气候危机现在被认为是许多土著语言及其所代表的知识的final nail in the coffin。)”也是讲述对土著语言的影响，说明气候危机现在被看作是许多土著语言和相关知识的致命一击，与A项“最后一根稻草；最后一击”意思相近，故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.(瓦努阿图是一个南太平洋岛国，面积12189平方公里，拥有110种语言，是地球上语言密度最高的国家。她说，它也是海平面上升风险最大的国家之一。“许多小语言社区位于岛屿和海岸线上，容易受到飓风和海平面上升的影响。”另一些人生活在气温上升威胁到传统农业和渔业的土地上，导致迁徙。)”可推知，第3段提到瓦努阿图是为了说明少数民族语言社区的情况。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.(联合国大会主席Csaba Korosi表示，促进和保护土著社区的语言“不仅对他们很重要，对全人类也很重要”。他敦促各国允许用土著语言进行教育。)”可知，“土著语言国际十年”的目标是保护土著社区的语言。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis, according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.(每40天就有一种语言消亡。气候危机加剧了这种“灾难性”损失,根据语言学家的说法。保守估计，如果不采取任何措施，到本世纪末，目前使用的7000种语言中有一半将灭绝)”并通读全文，文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施。因此推断B选项“语言的丧失：海平面上升带来灾难的威胁”最符合文章标题。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Feeling upset is a normal part of life. Something stressful may occur everywhere, and make you angry or anxious. We can’t control what is happening around us. ____16____ Here are some useful ways to keep our cool when we feel frustrated.
____17____
Conflicts with others can be difficult to deal with. Sometimes we need to leave from the unpleasant condition. It is OK to say, “I’m going to take a break” and go for a walk or find a quiet place to sit and cool off. The goal is to give yourself some space to calm down and consider what to do next.
Do breathing exercises to relax
When we’re upset, our nervous system will speed up our heart rate and muscles tense. It prepares the body as if to meet an attack. ____18____ If possible, find a safe place, sit comfortably and focus on your breath, breathing deeply and evenly. Mindful breathing helps us calm our feelings.
Lift your mood with laughter
Laughter relieves the tension we feel when depressed. We can think of a joke or watch a video that always makes us roar with laughter. Afterward, you may be able to lift the fog of frustration. Make sure what you use is not mean-spirited, though. ____19____
Change your language
Once things appear disappointing, many of us might punish ourselves with unkind words. In fact, it doesn’t have to be this way. ____20____ For example, instead of saying “I always mess things up,” we could say, “I made a mistake, but I’ll do it better next time.”
A. Keep yourself away from the noise
B. Remove yourself from the situation
C. We should turn negative thoughts into positive statements.
D. Those kinds of humor can actually make us feel more down.
E. Thus, we can be physically and mentally entertained from that.

G. However, we can decide how we behave and react to the troubles we face.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. F 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了自我情绪管理的几项有效措施。
【16题详解】
前文“We can’t control what is happening around us. (我们无法控制周围发生的事情。)”结合下文“Here are some useful ways to keep our cool when we feel frustrated. (当我们感到沮丧时，下面是一些有用的方法让我们保持冷静。)”以及下文的小标题内容可知，我们控制不了周围发生的事情，但是我们可以改变自己来保持冷静，不沮丧，因此推断空处承上启下，G项“然而，我们可以决定我们如何行动和如何应对我们面临的麻烦。”符合语境，与上文是转折关系，引出下文内容。故选G。
【17题详解】
分析文章结构可知，空处是段落标题，根据下文“Conflicts with others can be difficult to deal with. Sometimes we need to leave from the unpleasant condition. It is OK to say, “I’m going to take a break” and go for a walk or find a quiet place to sit and cool off. The goal is to give yourself some space to calm down and consider what to do next. (与他人的冲突很难处理。有时候我们需要离开不愉快的环境。你可以说：“我要休息一下”，然后散散步，或者找个安静的地方坐下来凉快一下。这样做的目的是给自己一些空间来冷静下来，考虑下一步要做什么。)”可知，本段建议当与他人有冲突时可以远离那种状况，让自己冷静下来，因此推断B项“脱离那种情况”为最近标题，概况了本段主旨。故选B。
【18题详解】
前文“When we’re upset, our nervous system will speed up our heart rate and muscles tense. It prepares the body as if to meet an attack. (当我们心烦意乱时，我们的神经系统会加快心率，肌肉会紧张。它让身体准备好迎接攻击。)”说明在烦恼的时候，身体会有应激反应，心跳加快，肌肉紧张，F项“你可以用一些实用的技巧来缓和这种生理反应。”符合语境，选项中的such physical reaction呼应前文提到的身体上的反应。故选F。
【19题详解】
前文“Laughter relieves the tension we feel when depressed. We can think of a joke or watch a video that always makes us roar with laughter. Afterward, you may be able to lift the fog of frustration. Make sure what you use is not mean-spirited, though. (笑可以缓解我们沮丧时的紧张感。我们可以想到一个笑话或观看一个总是让我们大笑的视频。之后，你也许能够驱散沮丧的迷雾。不过，请确保你使用的措辞不是刻薄的。)”说明笑声可以缓解沮丧，但是要确保措辞不刻薄，D项“这些幽默实际上会让我们感觉更沮丧。”符合语境，选项上的Those kinds of humor呼应前文提到joke和laughter，说明了措辞刻薄的幽默不能使用的原因，会让人感觉更沮丧。故选D。
【20题详解】
前文“Once things appear disappointing, many of us might punish ourselves with unkind words. In fact, it doesn’t have to be this way. (一旦事情看起来令人失望，我们中的许多人可能会用不友好的话惩罚自己。事实上，它并不一定要这样。)”说明沮丧时说一些不好的话是不可取的，下文“For example, instead of saying “I always mess things up,” we could say, “I made a mistake, but I’ll do it better next time.” (例如，与其说“我总是把事情搞砸”，我们可以说“我犯了一个错误，但下次我会做得更好。”)”举例说明不说消极的话，说积极的话，C项“我们应该把消极的想法变成积极的陈述”符合语境，承上启下。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (睡衣) top underneath，and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard.
Mohi murmured,“Sorry, teacher,”and rushed to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles(咯咯笑) quickly died down. Mohi’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name at the same time just to see him jump and stop suddenly. When he spotted the merry crowd in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. “Mohi must be listening to music, since he had never played music at school.”Hamed thought. He called Mohi’s name a few times but there was no response. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. The music played on.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Hamed looked closely through a window, his eyes widened in surprise.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Teacher’s Day came around, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As Hamed looked closely through a window, his eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly so much so that it sounded like a recording. Then an idea hit Hamed. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. It was a good chance for Mohito show his talent and be accepted by his classmates. Thinking of that, Hamed left quietly.
When Teacher’s Day came around, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, both the teachers and students were surprised to see the school’s clumsiest student walking on stage with a violin. When he started to play, the audience fell silent. Jaws dropped. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience erupted into thunderous applause. Mohi became a sensation and had many fans in his final year of school. Mohi and Hamed became the best of friends eventually.
