One day, while Will Allen was driving home from work, he spotted a For Sale sign on the last
remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee. The place was small, only two acres (英亩), just a few
greenhouses on a plot of land. An idea flashed through Will's head. He could grow food here,
without using chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
Will hired some neighborhood teenagers to help him get started. Their first job was to “grow”
new soil by composting(堆肥).Will collected different kinds of food waste and piled it up until it
rotted(腐烂) and turned into soil. Then he spread layers of worms between layers of compost.
Amazingly, this worm poop(粪便) makes the best fertilizer in the world. With the preparations made,
Will started growing food.
Today, years later, Growing Power Community Food Center becomes a strikingly productive
model farm, growing enough food to feed 2,000 people on just two acres in the middle of a city. As
Will’s organization, Growing Power, expands gradually, he hires more people and opens an office
to manage three city farms. Will and his staff teach young people how to grow more than 150
varieties of vegetables. They also run garden projects in schools, where kids learn the basics of
growing food and then get to farm their own plots. Will also travels across the world to help people
grow food more efficiently.
“We’re in a worldwide food crisis right now,” Will says. “A lot of people are hungry. We
need to grow food everywhere we can—in backyards, on rooftops, and even in buildings. Will’s
vision for the city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun. This idea,
called” vertical farming”, is a new way to help feed more people.
“Growing food is powerful,” he says. “It can change the world!”
24. What inspired Will to grow food?
A. Being tired of his work. B. Finding a farm for sale.
C. Being experienced at farming. D. Visiting a greenhouse on site.
25. What did Will do before growing food?
A. Hire local adult farmers. B. Create soil with waste.
D. Buy chemical fertilizers. C. Deal with worms in soil.
26. Why is Growing Power regarded as a model farm?
A. It grows the best organic food.
B. It owns the latest farming techniques.
C. It helps more farmers to get employed.
D. It produces more food in a limited area.
27. Which best describes the development of Growing Power?
A. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
B. All things are difficult before they are easy.
C. From a single spark may burst a mighty flame.
D. Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labour does the body.

We know our workplace clothing choices can affect what others think us and influence our
success. Do those choices also shape productivity by affecting how we see ourselves?
Researchers conducted two experiments in the United States and a field study in South Korea
to investigate the meanings employees associate with their dress. In the first experiment, participants
viewed photos of different outfits(套装) and indicated what they thought each would convey in a
“business-casual” office. In the second, participants first changed into business-casual clothing and
then into new business-casual outfits they selected to correspond with one of three randomly
assigned characteristics: aesthetics(美学)，conformity(一致性).uniqueness. A control group was
asked to select an outfit similar to their first one. All participants were told to imagine that they
worked at a company where people could generally wear what they wanted to and where most
choose business-casual dress. After each clothing change they reported on how they would feel
going to work in what they had on, what they thought their clothing would convey, and their level
of self-esteem (自尊).江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
The experiments showed that people associate clothing high in aesthetics with personal
attractiveness conforming clothing with a sense belong, and unique clothing with distinctiveness.
and revealed that each of the three qualities raised self-esteem.
The field study involved 84 white-col1ar employees who worked on-site and were free to
choose their clothes They filled out three questionnaires daily for 10days, reporting on what they
were wearing, their self-esteem, their interactions with colleagues and their productivity. Aesthetic
and unique clothing boosted self-esteem, which in turn boosted progress toward job goals and
decreased social avoidance. Dress conformity had similar effects, but only when employees
frequently interacted with colleagues.
“Investing a little extra time in the morning to prepare an outfit that is aesthetically pleasing
and unique-and, if interactions with others are expected, highly conforming to organizational
standards—can have a meaningful impact on how an employee feels about themselves throughout
the workday,” the researchers write.
28.The researchers carried out the experiments to find out______.
A. what types of clothing employees like to wear
B. whether employees can choose the dress they like
C. why dress conformity is required in the workplace
D. how employees feel about their workplace clothing
29. What did all the participants do in the second experiment?
A. Work at the same company.
B. View photos of different outfits.
C. Report their feelings about clothes.
D. Select dress from three types randomly.
30. What can we know about the findings in Paragraph 4?
A. Three assigned types have the same effects.
B. Unique clothing can increase social avoidance.
C. Conforming clothing can strengthen coworkers’ bonds.
D. Aesthetic clothing has more advantages over other types.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A. Try Different Dress Styles
B. Dress Up To Be More Attractive
C. Wear Proper Clothes To Fit In Society
D. Be Smart About Workplace Clothing
D
The house had been cleaned and staged elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we
saw around the house provided important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We
were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.
All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional
ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with
emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for
one's grandmother's necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass
on the keys to the next generation.
No longer so, I am guessing. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument
always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of
furniture; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current
home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them
unused.
Hoarding is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are
hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding
something you haven't used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don't
sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.
All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation
from hoarding and let there be light!
32. Why does the author mention the grandmother’s necklace in Paragraph 2?
A. It illustrates family love.
B. It illustrates collection value.
C. It shows people’s outdated ideas.
D. It shows people’s financial status.
33.What does the underlined word “hoarding” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Keeping things unused at home. B. Giving away things to friends.
C. Passing things on to grandchildren. D. Buying things from the garage.
34. What may the author agree with?
A. Selling unused furniture.
B. Keeping old-time bedsheets locked.
C. Wearing as much jewellery as possible.
D. Visiting garages as frequently as possible.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a product. B. To report an event.
C. To organize an activity. D. To advocate a lifestyle.

At the age of 18, we become adults and are given the right to vote, to travel the world and to
pursue our dreams. At 60, we enter a new phase of life. It marks the start of retirement for most of
us. There are 42 years between these two major phases. Interestingly, the number 42 is also
associated with marathons, which cover42 km. 36 Let’s explore.
It takes time to prepare.
To run a full marathon, you need to train hard for months and even years, slowly building your
endurance(耐力). The same goes for building a savings pool for retirement. 37 So, if
you're thinking about saving for retirement, don’t hesitate! Get started today.
38
Preparing for a marathon requires a well-rounded approach. Similarly, individuals building a
retirement fund need to build a file that is diversified across different property classes. By
diversifying your investments, you can survive market unstability and safeguard your hard-earned
savings. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Every runner runs his own race.
Just like marathon runners focus on running and completing their own race, retirement
planning for every individual is a personal endeavour. Trying to keep pace with another runner can
damage one’s performance. Similarly, each person’s financial situation is unique and as such, each
person’s approach to retirement planning will be too. 39
Are you serious about planning for your retirement? 40 With a little hard work and
dedication, you can cross the finish line with flying colours.
A. It makes sense to cover every aspect.
B. Starting small and starting young is essential.
C. Preparing for the race requires more than just physical training.
D. Take your time to dream big and plan carefully your retirement.
E. The key is to find what works best for you and remain committed to it.
F. If so, take a page out of the marathon runner's playbook and begin training.
G. Are there lessons in training and running a marathon- that can be applied to retirement
planning?

The international federation(联合会)of pickleball, with 60 member countries and counting,
56 (work) to make sure that pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
If you haven’t played it 57 (you), you've probably at least heard of pickleball. Here’s
58 the game is played.
Pickleball takes elements from tennis, badminton and table tennis. It’s played on a badminton-
sized court with a slightly lowered tennis net, 59(use)square paddles(球拍) and a holey plastic ball
that's similar 60 size to a tennis ball, but much lighter. Since the lighter ball doesn’t
bounce as much, it’s 61 (easy) to get a rally (back and forth hit) going.
Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn 62 (serve). The goal is to keep
the ball in the air, and if your opponent (called the receiver) fails to return the ball over the net,
either from the serve 63 in a rally, you get the point. Matches can be played in doubles or
singles, and games are played to 11 points. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
People who are really into the sport can join tournaments at 64 (vary)levels. The first
World Pickleball Games 65 (hold) next summer at the Austin Pickle Ranch in Austin,
Texas. By 2030, pickleball is expected to have as many as 40 million players worldwide.

Imagine sitting at your breakfast table having a cup of coffee when all of a sudden you
see someone about to die. What would you do? Last Christmas, John Gelinne found out.
On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was watching out the back windows of his home in Edgewater,
Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek(河 流 ). Children and grandchildren were running around the
house. That's when Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small plane a few hundred yards away,
losing altitude(海拔高度). 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander, realized it was
going to land in the creek. He flashed on a moment from more than20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001.
Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists(恐怖分子) crashed a
plane into the building. He escaped but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and
“To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could have gone
right, but I went left,” he recalled. “I always second-guessed myself about that decision.”
On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slipped to
a stop on the broad, frozen creek, far from the shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on
the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill
the pilot.
Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he
and his son, John Ir., 37, pulled two kayaks(皮艇) out.
“I figured, if it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne says. The kayaks’
paddles(桨) proved easily broken, so the pair tried using shovels(铁铲) to push the boats along.
Their first attempts left them moving in circles. But with some muscle, they made progress.
注意:
1.词数 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The two men set off, pushing their boats across the ice.
They finally arrived at the shore with great efforts.

第一节（满分 15 分）
66.One possible version:
Should high school students have a two-day weekend?
A two-day weekend is NO DOUBT a necessity.
First, it can reduce students’ stress by enabling them to fully relax, pursue hobbies, and spend
time with family and friends. And as such, it’ll contribute to increased focus and motivation during
the class. After all, as the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” And with
more time and energy, students will be more involved in extracurricular activities and volunteer
work, which help their overall development.
Another possible version:
Should high school students have a two-day weekend?
I don’t think it is a good idea. The reasons are as follows.
With a two-day weekend, students may spend too much time playing and fail to get enough
rest. After all, not everyone is proud of their self-control. What’s more, the entertainments they
enjoy during weekends will somewhat distract them from their studies. Additionally, high school
students need more time and efforts to advance academically or catch up with their schoolwork.
Therefore, a shorter school week doesn’t make sense.

67. One possible version:
The two men set off, pushing their boats across the ice. When they reached the plane, the pilot
was standing on the sinking wing, and the icy water was up to his chest. John Ir. tried to pull him
onto his kayak, while Gelinne helped prevent their kayaks from turning over. It was hard work, but
