Several years ago, a cousin I had lost touch with since I was a teenager dropped by my house. At the living room entrance, he stopped in dead silence, his eyes fixed on the bookshelves covering the entire back wall. “Have you read them all?” he asked me, almost lightened. “Yes”，I said, “just about”. He shook his head in silence，as if this was a feat (技艺）that had demanded some effort. As for him, he had had to leave school at fourteen, working wherever he could. His family did not have books. I only ever recalled seeing the comic book Tarzan lying around on the table.
I often recall this scene with my cousin with unease. It hides another violent one. I between fifteen and eighteen years old. I must have blamed my father for 44 not being interested in anything”, for reading only Paris-Normandie, the local newspaper. Usually so calm and tolerant regarding the rudeness of his only daughter, he replied seriously: “Books are good for you. But as for me, I don't need them to live.”
These words stretch across time，fixed inside me, like a pain and an unbearable reality. I understood very well what my father meant. Reading Alexander Dumas, Flaubert, Camus would not have served any practical purpose in his work as a cafe owner. On the other hand, in the future he hoped for me, he vaguely knew that books held weight, and that they formed part of a defining package — “cultural baggage” 一that included the theatre, the opera and winter sports一a superior social world. I understood all that and it was unacceptable. I refused to think that the world of books would stay forever closed to the human being who was dearest to me.
As I think about reasons for reading, my father’s words come back to me insistently, like a personal and unsolvable contradiction. No, to read is not to live but I have always lived with books.
24、What does Paragraph 1 tell us about the writer?
A. Her having read many books amazed her cousin.
B. Her cousin quit school early and had no books at all.
C. She completely finished reading the books on the shelves.
D. Her cousin was lightened to death upon seeing the books.
25、What does “one” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. An idea. B. An emotion. C. A scene- D. A relative.
26、What can’t the writer accept?
A. The bitter memory of a violent childhood.
B. The strict tone in which her father spoke.
C. The fear of falling short of her father’s expectations.
D. Her father’s ignorance of the importance of reading.
27、What is the passage going to talk about next?
A. Why the writer enjoys reading books.
B. What separates the writer from others.
C. What the writer’s father really meant.
D. How other conflicts erupted.
Last April, Elon Musk, the world's richest man, attempted a takeover of Twitter, for $44 billion T which quickly tinned into public controversy and court battles. But the most interesting part of the story is the more fundamental question: why would Musk want to buy Twitter in the first place?
If you look at the size of Twitter, its appeal isn’t obvious. The company makes a relatively small profit each year, and in terms of the number of users, Twitter has around 436 million users every month, which is still a long way behind the likes of Facebook(near three billion), Instagram (two billion) , and TikTok (one billion). So why does Musk want to spend a considerable amount of money on Twitter?
The answer might be what makes Twitter so interesting: it carries enormous cultural power and has an unmatched ability to shift the course of news and culture. Twitters cultural power is easy to see. Click on any random news article, and there's a good chance that somewhere in the text, it’s quoting what someone said on Twitter.
What makes the platform important is essentially its clients. Twitter is the place where the most powerful and influential people like to hang out. Because Twitter is mostly based on short, text-based posts, it is perfect for conveying information, an argument, or a joke, at enormous speed, making it extremely useful for the likes of politicians, journalists, executives and celebrities.
What Twitter is really good at is acting as a global watercooler—a persistent backchannel for gossip (流言蜚语），jokes and informal connections. It’s a place where new ideas emerge，or arguments happen, and because the people doing the gossiping are important, influential types, what happens on Twitter can actually affect the rest of the world. I think this explains why Elon Musk might want to pay big money for it. If you own Twitter, you suddenly have a say in the world's most important watercooler conversation.
28、What can we know about Twitter?
A. Elon Musk's purchase of it went smoothly.
B. It has significant power to shape culture.
C. What people say on Twitter comes from random articles.
D. Its influence can’t compare with those of its competitors.
29、What makes Twitter valuable for its users?
A. The volume of information. B. The potential clients it attracts.
C. The profit it generates. D. The efficiency of spreading ideas.
30、According to the author, why might Elon Musk want to buy Twitter?
A. To promote new ideas. B. To improve its products.
C. To have a greater voice. D. To control powerful people.
31、What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Is Twitter so Valuable?
B. Who Are Twitter’s Target Users?
C. What Did Elon Musk Do to Twitter?
D. How Does Twitter Dominate the World?
Are you among the one in three Americans who gulps down a multivitamin every morning, probably with a sip of water? The truth about this popular habit may be hard to swallow. “Most people would be better off just drinking a full glass of water and skipping the vitamin,” says Dr. Pieter Cohen, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. In addition to saving money, you’ll have the satisfaction of not succumbing to misleading marketing strategies.
That’s because for the average American adult, a daily multivitamin doesn’t provide any meaningful health benefit, as noted recently by the US Preventive Services Task Force(USPSTF). Their review, which analyzed 84 studies involving nearly 700,000 people, found little or no evidence that taking vitamin and mineral supplements(营养片) helps prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease that can lead to heart attacks, nor do they help prevent an early death.
However, this is not always the case. Highly restrictive diets, or certain weight-loss surgeries that cause poor nutrient absorption, are examples of reasons why a multivitamin or individual vitamins might be recommended. A daily vitamin D supplement may be necessary when a person gets insufficient sun exposure. Your doctor may recommend an iron supplement if you have anemia, a low red blood cell count.
Then why do people place too much reliance on vitamins? “They are very inexpensive to make, so the companies can sink lots of money into advertising/' says Dr. Cohen. But because the FDA regulates dietary supplements as food and not as prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the agency only closely monitors claims regarding the treatment of disease. For example, supplement makers cannot say that their product u lowers heart disease risk”. But their labels are allowed to include phrases such as “promotes a healthy heart” or “supports immunity”, as well as vague promises about improving fatigue and low motivation.
“Supplement manufacturers are allowed to market their products as if they have benefits when no benefit actually exists,” says Dr. Cohen. He considers it wise to note the legally required disclaimer on each product: “These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.” Although multivitamins aren't helpful, at least they're not harmful. But the money people spend on them could be better spent on purchasing healthy foods.
32、What does the underlined expression “succumbing to” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Giving in to. B. Looking forward to.
C. Objecting to. D. Sticking to.
33、Why does the author mention anemia in Paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the risks of a restricted diet.
B. To prove the benefits of adequate sun exposure.
C. To demonstrate the existence of exceptions.
D. To stress the importance of nutrient absorption.
34、We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.
A. drug companies lose much money promoting vitamins
B. the FDA has stricter regulations for prescribed medicine
C. supplement makers care little about designing their labels
D. it is illegal to market a product without actual health benefits
35、What does Dr. Cohen think of the disclaimer?
A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Confusing. D. Interesting

54、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was in 1959, one week before my 10th birthday, my mother announced we were taking a trip to Niagara Falls when summer vacation started. Reservations had been made for a hotel and a Maid of the Mist Boat Tour trip. It all sounded incredibly good until Mom said we would drive to Canada.
Driving in the car meant I’d share the back seat with my 3-year-old sister. “Sitting in the back seat all day is dull,” I thought.
“Hey, can we take a plane there instead?” I asked between mouthfuls of hamburger and French fries.
“Sorry, honey, maybe next time,” my mother replied as she and my father exchanged glances.
“Dad, how long a ride is it to Canada?”
“ It’s about nine hours，pal. ’’
This was an excellent chance to get one parent on my side. “That’s not fair to you, Dad. You’ll be too tired to have fun after driving so much. ’’ I crossed my fingers. “Then you’ll have to drive all the way home too! Being on a plane would be very relaxing for you because you won’t be driving so much. ’’
My father smiled and patted my back. “Thanks for being so concerned, but I’ll be fine. No need to worry.” Then he looked at my mother and winked.
Parents can be so frustrating. Didn't they get it? I’m in desperate need of a plane ride, and I need something cool to talk about with my friends when we get home. I lost control. “Sitting in the back seat of the car sucks,” I blurted out, then rapidly covered my mouth with a hand to prevent any other forbidden words from escaping.
“Jay!” My mother shouted. “Watch your mouth!”
“I don’t want to hear that type of language again,” my father said, slapping the table angrily.
“Ok, sorry, but I really wanted to go by plane.”
“This conversation’s over. ’’ My father said. “If you have finished eating, go to your room.”
On Saturday morning, we loaded all our luggage into the car.

W: I just got it and can’t put it down. You know how I love fitting pieces together. This game has fruit and animals that you have to match up.

W: That’s too bad she got hurt. Do you still do performances?

W: Hi. I can’t stop for long. I still have a mile to run.
M: A mile? Wow! You really do take fitness seriously.
W: Everybody should. Even on rainy days like this.
M: I suppose you’re right. I see a lot of very heavy people these days.
W: They are harming themselves by eating the wrong things and not doing exercise.
M: So how much running do you do? Wouldn’t it be better going to a gym?
W: Gyms cost money. I can run for free. Two miles a day, three times a week — it’s an easy routine.
M: It doesn9t sound easy to me. I suppose I should do some exercise and get enough sleep as well. I seldom get my full eight hours.
W: You really should.
M: On the plus side, I’m a healthy eater. I eat plenty of vegetables and just a little meat.
W: At least you are making an effort. With a few small changes, you could have a healthy lifestyle.
M: You’re right. I can’t do much about my bed times, but from tomorrow I am going to travel to work on my bike.
W: Swimming is good exercise as well.
M: Maybe I’ll check out the local pool sometime.
W: I promise you will feel so much better.

解析：
20、答案：C
解析：Too often the modem trend is for people to be separated from each other. Cars have taken us off the streets, where we used to stop to chat. Television has planted us firmly in our living rooms, instead of going out with other people. We must strike back against the selfishness and greed of our modern world and help our fellow human beings. Helping someone has many advantages. It makes you feel better about yourself, improves someone’s life and makes the world a better place. Don’t know where to start? Well, just smile and be friendly. Sometimes a simple little thing like this can put a smile and a warm feeling in someone else’s heart. Call a charity to volunteer. The next time you see someone pulled over with a flat tire or in need of help, stop and ask how you can help. Take the time to teach someone a skill you know. Comfort someone in grief. Often someone who is sad or frustrated just needs someone who will listen. Be patient. Sometimes people can have difficulty understanding things or learning to do something right. Find ways to express your love to others, whether they are your partner, child, friends, co-workers, or a complete stranger.

31、答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。文章前两段说明了埃隆•马斯克斥巨资收购推特的情况，引出核心问题:“为什么他愿意为推特花大价钱? ”后面三段都在回答该问题:推特对新闻和文化影响很大、拥有影响力大的用户群体以及提供了讨论小道消息的秘密渠道。汇总全文信息，标题应该选“为什么推特如此重要?”，即A项。
32、答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。第一段最后一句 “ you’ll have the satisfaction of not succumbing to misleading marketing strategies”中说道:你会有对误导性的营销策略不做……的满意感。A选项为“屈服于;向……让步”，B选项为“盼望，期待”，C选项为“反对”，D选项为“坚持”；带入选项，只有不屈服于误导性的营销策略才可以让人觉得满意，故选A项。
33、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“However, this is not always the case” 和第二句“examples of reasons why a multivitamin or individual vitamins might be recommended” 可知这些例子，包括 anemia(贫血），都是针对第二段说多种维生素片没什么用处所列举的反例，故选C项。
34、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段提到 “because the FDA regulates dietary supplements as food and not as prescription (处方药）or over-the-counter drugs, the agency only closely monitors claims regarding the treatment of disease”可知B项“FDA对处方药的管理规范更严格”为正确选项。
35、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He considers it wise to note the legally required disclaimer on each product”，Dr. Cohen认为关注免责声明是一种明智的行为，故选A项“有帮助的”。
36、答案：①-⑤FBEDC
解析：①F语境推断+复现。全文讲的是讲故事的好处，根据第一段主题句“Storytelling provides children with a window to new worlds”知道整段都是围绕“讲故事让孩子打开新世界的窗”，故选择F “learn new ideas and information”。
②B逻辑推断。复现+语境推断。第二段第一句说道“讲故事可以让孩子代入故事重要角色，帮助培养共情(empathy)”，与B项“因此，they(孩子们)更可能了解其他人的想法(relate to others)” 匹配，故选B。
③E 逻辑推断。语境推断。下文 “You could also actively encourage children to ask questions and to talk about how they feel”中的“also”说明前一句也应该是让孩子做的事，故选E项。
④D语境推断。逻辑推断+代词。该段第一句说“讲故事让孩子可以自己创作和想象”，第二句说“这和看电影不同”，因此D项“孩子们（they)建造一个世界，在那里故事是为他们自己设定的” 为正确选项。
⑤C复现。语境推断+替代。作为末段的首句，应该为该段的主题句，下文中的“They learn to be more patient and to let others speak”，可以与 C 项“listen to others”对应，而且选项中的“children” 为下文的“They”提供了指代对象，故选C项。
37、答案：C
解析：前文“My son struggles with his writing”说明他觉得写字难。
38、答案：D
解析：下文的“it”指的是怎样拿笔，为了搭配这个宾语，应该选择“master”（学会，精通）。
39、答案：B
解析：根据上文儿子说放弃，证明当事情变得困难，爸爸也会放弃，这是父子都有的遗传特征，因此选择 “ tendency ”（倾向）。
40、答案：A
解析：由于上文提到这是遗传特征“an genetic feature”，所以“我”不能怪他。
41、答案：B
解析：本句意为:我一直在讲怎么握笔，久了之后，自己都不知道怎么握了。
42、答案：A
解析：从下文“我”的目的是“to make it easier for him to imitate(模仿）”可以知道“我”用左手书写给孩子打个样。
43、答案：A
解析：本题考查和“out”搭配的动词短语:come out出来，结果是;drop out退出，辍学;break out爆发;look out注意，当心。按照该句意思，应该是字写出来扭曲怪异，故选A。
44、答案：B
解析：联系语境，“我”写信的第一部分，“儿子”加上他想要的玩具和签名。
45、答案：D
解析：上文说“我写的字母不好看”，下文说“我左手很容易累”，均为两个不利因素，应该填表递进的“Worse”（更糟糕的是）。
46、答案：B
解析：此句为双重否定句，意思是“我能写出来甚至最简单的词都像鸡爪”。
47、答案：A
解析：“the blind are leading the blind”为英语习语，指的是瞎子给盲人引路，外行指导外行。
48、答案：C
解析：本题考查动词短语区分:count on依靠，指望;break down分解，砸倒;work out弄懂，解决;put forward提出。根据上文需要联邦调查局特工才能弄清哪部分是“我”写的。
49、答案：C
解析：根据下文写给圣诞老人的信在冰箱上，前面应该是“我们”写完了信。
50、答案：D
解析：根据上文“我”妻子问“都是儿子自己写的吗?”，她想的肯定错了，但是“我”没有纠正她。deny否认，拒绝承认。
51、答案：B
解析：因为妻子说的是表扬，所以应该选积极色彩的形容词，用“proud”还体现出一丝嘲讽的意味。
52、答案：①that/ which②and③to find④his⑤following⑥teamed⑦The⑧existence⑨officially⑩to
解析：①that/which考查定语从句关系词。先行词为practice(做法），在定语从句中做主语，因此可以用 关系代词that/which。
②and考查并列连词。根据语意，在美国和全世界的其他80个国家，所以填and。
③to find考查非谓语动词。此句意为:社区免费小图书馆给每个人提供了一种有趣又自由的找好书 方式。用不定式做后置定语修饰“way”。
④his考查词性转换。此处应该用形容词性物主代词修饰名词“home”，故填his。
⑤following考查词性转换。此处需要用形容词修饰名词“year”，故填following,表示:接下来的。
⑥teamed考查谓语时态和语态。最后一段讲的是免费小图书馆发展历史。本句讲的是受到一位 慈善家的启发，Bol和Rick合作要在四年内至少建起2508个免费小图书馆。这个“合作”发生在过去，且为Bol的主动行为，所以谓语为一般过去时的主动。
⑦The考查冠词。上文提到的合作的Bol和Rick再次出现为定指的这对合伙人，故填the。
⑧existence考查词性转换。“in”为介词，后应填名词，而且“in existence”为固定搭配，表示现有的， 现存的。
⑨officially考查词性转换。此处需要用副词修饰动词，因此填officially。
⑩to考查介词。此处为固定搭配move sth. from ... to ...。

54、答案：
My father turned the key and started the engine. There I was, stuck in the back seat with no hope of having great tales of adventure for my friends. The most exciting thing that might happen in the car would be my sister throwing up in my lap. Not exactly the kind of story I’d want anyone to hear. I sighed with disappointment and stared at the road ahead with a blank expression. Bored, I rolled down the window, spitting into the air to see how far my saliva would travel. Suddenly, I noticed a large plane flying overhead. It looked as if it was coming in for a landing.
Then I was surprised to see a sign that read “Airport Parking”. I couldn’t believe my eyes. We were heading right into the airport! Why were we here? What was going on? Despite all my rapid-fire questions, I was told to wait until we reached the terminal. It seemed to take forever for us to park and check in all our baggage. “Happy Birthday, Jay,” my father said as he bent down to kiss my head. “We were planning this as a birthday present for you all along,” my mother explained, “despite your bad language the other night.” Hearing this，I was overwhelmed by a sense of guilt with tears of gratitude welling up in my eyes.
