It’s hard to talk to dad sometimes. His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too.

But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it.

Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a much-thought, three-page letter. Dad, a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns.”

I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late. I cried because at 33, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send.”

We’ve since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven’t been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. It’s hard to talk to dads sometimes, but I’m glad I found a way to talk to mine.

24. The author’s dad can be best described as ______.

A. selfish and lonely   B. optimistic and careless

C. quiet and caring   D. indifferent and serious

25. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “______”.

A. show his true self   B. become more optimistic

C. draw the curtain   D. clear the misunderstanding

26. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. I was moved when reading the email.

B. My dad’s email was quickly written.

C. The email contained much information.

D. I wished I could have consulted him earlier.

27. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. The author regretted not writing to dad earlier.

B. Dad’s letter of reply is simple.

C. Dad helped settle the author’s problems.

D. The author can talk to his dad easily.

C

A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.

According to the results of an international passenger survey. Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch (干杯), compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.

The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brazil.

The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off (打瞌睡) once the seat-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively—when not drinking—choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet.

Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at making chats with random strangers—spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively, Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email, messaging apps or social media.

Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals. In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers.

The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment. “The industry has greatly improved the comfort, entertainment and onboard service, and passengers are accepting those improvements”, said Russell Lemieux, APEX executive director. “At the same time, passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey”, he added.

28. What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage?

A. Germans chat to kill the time.

B. Brazilians choose to drink.

C. Americans do in-flight shopping.

D. The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign.

29. When on board the plane, ______.

A. passengers from one nation have little in common

B. most passengers like to read in-flight magazines

C. more than half of the passengers don’t enjoy plane food

D. most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep

30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Flyers have more and more demands from airlines.

B. Flyers are not satisfied with the improvements.

C. Flyers are expecting better flight experiences.

D. Flyers care little about entertainment.

31. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To entertain readers with interesting stories.

B. To inform readers of the results of a survey.

C. To criticize impolite behaviors on the plane.

D. To encourage people to behave well in public.

D

On November 18, 2020, state workers who were tracking sheep were flying over the Utah desert in a helicopter. They noticed an object that is called monolith later, and landed nearby to see what it was. It was a shiny, three-sided metal column about 3. 7 meters tall and planted solidly in the middle of the desert.

Bret Hutchings, who flew the helicopter, said, “I have to admit, that’s been about the strangest thing that I’ve come across out there in all the years of flying. “The shape of the monolith and its strange appearance in the desert have reminded people of a black monolith in the science fiction movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. In that movie, the monolith was also unexplained, but it appeared to have been created by creatures from another world.

Some people say that the monolith appears to be similar to artwork created by some well-known artists. But one of the possible artists died in 2011. Two others have said that the work is not theirs.

Still, people working for the government believe that the monolith was most likely put there as an art project. But they note that it was quite a difficult task. The monolith is in a hard-to-reach spot somewhere in the 93,000 square kilometers of Utah land managed by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Delivering the column that seems valuable to that location in the traditional way would have required moving very heavy materials. They must have thought of other ways.

One metal statue in the desert may not cause too many problems for the sheep, but what if lots of people decide to visit the site? That’s one reason the BLM hasn’t released where it is. The BLM is also afraid that the monolith might encourage other artists to plant other similar artworks in the desert. That’s something that the department doesn’t want to happen. Anyway, the government still hasn’t decided whether to remove the monolith or let it remain.

32. Why did the author mention the science fiction movie?

A. To explain the film was imaginary.  B. To show the monolith is strange.

C. To make the text more interesting.  D. To prove what Bret said was true.

33. What do we know about the monolith according to the text?

A. It was created by aliens from another planet.

B. Some artists made it by copying an art project in a Sci-Fi movie.

C. BLM transported the heavy materials to the desert in a traditional way.

D. It remains puzzling how the monolith was made and transported to the desert.

34. What has the BLM decided to do with the monolith?

A. Keep its location secret. B. Get it removed at once.

C. Preserve it as an artwork.  D. Make it a tourist attraction.

35. Which one can be the best title of the text?

A. Metal Column Planted in the Ground

B. Man-made Column Drawing Attention

C. Unusual Monolith Found in the Desert

D. Monolith Presenting Strange Appearance

Self-management refers to self-control, which is a sign of inner power. There is no one easy or simple way to learn it, as everyone’s mind works differently from another.    36    Here’s a list of ways to develop self-management skills.

Have goals

If something is important enough for you, it should be written down somewhere as your goal. Whether it is losing some weight or finishing a course with a certain grade, having a goal to reach is important for your motivation. You can certainly have more than one goal.    37    

Set a schedule

Daily or weekly schedules give you more of a feeling that things are being accomplished (完成). Students who set schedules for themselves tend to be a bit more organized and aware of everything that is happening around them.    38    For example’ they usually like studying for a few hours now and then they can hang out with their friends later.    39    

If you fail to hit your goals, adjust your goals to make up for your past mistakes. Take a step back and assess (评估) what you are doing and change it. It’s okay not to reach goals, as long as you can acknowledge it honestly and make positive changes towards meeting your goals.    40    But sometimes you just fall short. Knowing that it’s okay and move on, you can pick yourself back up quickly.

The above self-management skills are essential for your development, which can truly change your future. So take it seriously and find ways to improve yourself!

A. Be honest to yourself

B. Assess yourself honestly

C. But there are certain things that work for most.

D. You can break it down to yearly, monthly, weekly, and even daily ones.

E. As long as you have a clear schedule, it’s possible for you to achieve them all.

F. They’re able to think in advance about what they need to accomplish now or later.

G. This step is especially hard because you want to feel good about yourself and achieve your goals.

I was deeply moved by the kindness of an elderly flower seller at Sydney’s Central Station one evening. I was feeling as cold as the chill winds    41    the steps of the workers who buried hands deep into coat pockets. In many ways, 2022 had proven a    42    year.

A year earlier, I’d dreamt about an earthquake. In the dream, a red light flashed inside a building and then the earth began to    45    Walls collapsed and pieces of brick rained down on me as I ran into the open, feeling    46    for the people I hadn’t loved enough.    47    I was buried completely by the falling world, I reached out my hands and    48   , “Abuelo, ayudame,” in my native Spanish. “Grandfather, help me!”

Now, with the very real aftershocks of a number of    49    endings, I walked into a little flower shop to buy a gift for a friend. The gentleman at the checkout looked at me and turned away for a moment,    50    with a beautiful flower. “For you. You need to smile today.” He said in a rich and nice voice,    51    me the flower with eyes full of care. It took all my strength not to    52    tears. Then he wrapped me in a    53    hug that made me want to tell him everything.    54    I just thanked him and headed for the train. How did he know? I wondered. For the first time in weeks, I felt    55   .

I’ve never been a gamer. Before I got into teaching, I had never even played any games.    61    (game) typically don’t interest me, and I figured I didn’t have the basic knowledge or experience    62    (make) a game of learning in my classroom. Gamification (游戏化), I thought, was for other teachers, not me.

Then in 2019, when    63    (teach) my seventh-grade students about ancient Rome, I faced the huge difficulty of getting my kids to connect    64    ancient civilizations. Despite my lack of gaming experience, I remembered how Michael Matera, author of Explore Like a Pirate    65    (present) some of the basic knowledge of gamification at    66    meeting I attended: how to use “experience points (XP)” and why establishing “side quests” was such a powerful motivational way for students.

The name of the game that I’d create for my kids came to me quickly: Barbarian (野蛮的) Battlefield. Most students, after all,    67    (hear) the term “barbarian, and given its meaning for wildness. I figured they would    68    (probable) find the name. The barbarian tool, I hoped, would keep them engaged and motivated as they chose a group and undertook various activities    69    exposed them to big questions of Roman culture government, geography, religion, and wars.

Barbarian Battlefield, I had decided, would lead    70    (I) students into and through the world of the ancient Romans.

Dear Mike,

Aimed at providing a platform where students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus book fair will soon be held in our school. The fair will attract a huge crowd from the entire school, who are to sell, purchase and exchange their books with their peers.

As a regular visitor, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn by the fair. For one thing, the fair exhibits books of hundreds of types or diverse topics, motivating us to further develop our reading habits and helping to broaden our horizons. For another, most books are sold at a lower price than what the bookstores offer.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to host such a book fair better.

Yours,

Li Hua
