At 98, Dick Van Dyke still sings with his group, The Vantastix, and still makes it all look easy．When asked
how important it is that he’s having fun when he’s doing it, Van Dyke replied, “My whole career has relied on
that．It’s such a blessing to find a way of making a living that you love．I feel so sorry for people who hate their
job．I look forward to going to work every morning!”
And some of his work helped define a generation．Take “The Dick Van Dyke Show”; it ran for five years on
CBS, and it was such a hit that they’re bringing it back．This week, CBS aired a two-hour tribute（致敬）, “Dick
Van Dyke,98 Years of Magic”, and for the occasion, they recreated the original Dick Van Dyke Show” set, down to
that well-known sofa．
Early in his career Van Dyke was quoted as saying he only wanted to make films his children could watch．That
got the attention of Walt Disney, who promptly cast him in “Mary Poppins”．And his next few films were equally
family-friendly, like “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which happened to have been co-written by James Bond creator Ian
Fleming．From then on, Van Dyke was almost always assigned to play the good guy, though he claims to have
missed out on a choice part: “Yeah, I could have been James Bond．When Sean Connery left, the producer said,
‘Would you like to be the next Bond?’ I said, ‘Have you heard my British accent?’ That’s a true story!”
It seems that in show biz the true legends never stop．In an interview from 2017 with his friends, Van Dyke
described what it was like hitting 90:“People are more afraid of aging than they are of death these days．And I want
to say that remain young in heart and there’s a lot of good living to do.”
24．What can we infer from Dyke’s reply in Paragraph 1?
A．He enjoys his job． B．He hates morning work．
C．He sees his job as a burden． D．He prefers leisure to work．
25．What did CBS do for Dyke?
A．They created a new set for his show．
B．They bought a famous sofa for him．
C．They made a special program for him．
D．They invited young generation to watch his show．
26．Which statement is true about Dyke’s career?
A．His films are rarely family-friendly．
B．His films are only made for his children．
C．Van Dyke was always playing the good guy．
D．Van Dyke had the chance to play James Bond．
27．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Forever Young． B．Work Comes First．
C．Always Have Fun． D．Legends Are Timeless．

3M and Discovery Education announced Sean Jiang from Gilman School as one of the top ten finalists from
across the nation for the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge．It’s a competition that encourages students to identify
an everyday problem and submit a video showing the science behind the solution he or she came up with．
14-year-old Jiang decided to help those who can’t see．Blind people had a hard time navigationg（导航）
objects that are medium to far range．So Jiang wanted to design something to give them a heads-up on obstacles（障
碍）that may be incoming．
Jiang’s inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system．“I learned in school that bats and whales are
able to use echolocation（回声定位）to help them navigate and just use their sense of hearing and I also saw on
YouTube some very skilled blind people that use echolocation to help them walk,” said Jiang．
Jiang started with a virtual reality setting and then made it a reality．His creation uses a depth camera that can
detect how close objects are, thus giving enough time to dodge the obstacles．When a blind is walking with the
device, the sensor of the depth camera gathers the information regarding the obstacles’ position and distance．Then
the AI system in it will turn the distance data into musical sound guidance．This could significantly increase the
walking speed of a blind person as well as decrease the number of obstacles they hit．
Some other similar programs were alright at finding objects that were in close range, but Jiang still wanted the
blind to experience the world even fuller so they were able to see stuff that was much further away than their circle of
reach．
In October, the top ten finalists will compete in person in Minneapolis for the title of “America’s Top Young
Scientist” and a $25,000 prize．
28．What can we learn about Jiang from the first two paragraphs?
A．He was the champion of the 2023 3M event．
B．He invented technology to remove road obstacles．
C．He sought to assist the blind in walking smoothly．
D．He developed a new navigation app for his school．
29．Why did Jiang mention “echolocation”?
A．To show the development of technology．
B．To present the difficulties the blind face．
C．To stress the significance of hearing．
D．To explain the inspiration of his invention．
30．What does the underlined word “dodge” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Avoid．
B．Encounter．
C．Challenge．
D．Remove．
31．What is the text mainly about?
A．3M facilities intended for the blind．
B．A teen using sound to help the blind．
． ．
C An invention to cure vision problems
D．A competition to improve the blind’s life．
D
As you read this, pause to reflect on your recent interactions．As a politician, husband, and father, I encounter
various spoken language styles: analytical or chatty, formal or informal, pointed or gentle, cooperative or decisive.
Talk is the currency of politics．It is our way of negotiating, debating, and persuading．Talk is also the currency of
learning-how we develop our ideas, deepen our thinking and share our feelings．
That’s why I want speaking skills, sometimes called “oracy”, to play an important part in Labor’s plans for a
reformed school curriculum（课程）．
Employers value speaking skills equally with reading and writing．The ability to speak well and express
yourself should be something every child should master．But the curriculum doesn’t allow us to provide this．This is
short-sighted．An inability to express your thoughts fluently is a key barrier to getting on and doing well in life．
Oracy is in part about good public speaking and debating skills, but in reality, it’s about teaching young people to
make strong arguments, choose wise words, understand their audience, form meaningful social connections, and use
facial expressions and body language to convey their message．Above all else it’s about finding your voice．To
work out who you are and what you believe．If reading opens up a world of imagination and possibility, then
speaking and listening opens up a lifetime of empowerment-a chance for those who feel invisible in their own country
to be heard．It is about the confidence to speak out, to call out injustice or harm．
And the other side of speaking is listening, which can also be taught．Listening, truly listening, develops
tolerance and understanding．And as parents we can play our part．We’ve all been there, at mealtimes, silent as we
all stare at our devices．Our job, all of ours, is to get off our screens and give young people, and adults, the gift of
listening.
So, oracy—speaking and listening—needs to be placed firmly at the heart of school life．
32．How does talk help a politician?
A．It deepens his wishful thinking．
B．It enhances his analytical skills．
C．It strengthens persuasive power．
D．It provides emotional support．
33．Why does the author suggest a reform in the British school curriculum?
A．Employers underestimate the value of speaking．
B．Academic pressure makes students poor-sighted．
C．Spoken language is regarded as least important．
D．Oracy should deserve more attention at school．
34．How does the author illustrate his argument in paragraph 4?
A．By sharing different opinions．
B．By clarifying the definition．
C．By describing personal experiences．
D．By employing the concept．
35．What are parents advised to do?
． ．
A Set a good example for their children
B．Balance screen time and mealtime．
C．Have oral face-to-face communication．
D．Disconnect from the virtual world．

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。
One of the cores of emotional intelligence is self-regulation, an important skill in the workplace．Like any skill,
mastery of emotional self-control requires intentionality and practice． 36 ．
Pause to Mentally Distance
When you notice your typical physiological experiences associated with strong negative emotion, what should
you do? Mentally step out of your immediate experience．Asking yourself any question, or imagining what you
might look like to others right now, will do the trick．At that point, although still physiologically keyed up, you will
be able to ask yourself, “What is the best course of action right now?” or “What advice would I give someone else
who is in my shoes?” 37 ．
Take Control of Your Self-Talk
We’re frequently unaware of how much self-chatter is going on in the background of our minds．Such self-talk
might not be in fully articulated（铰接式的）words or phrases, but instead little flashes of thought．Becoming
aware of your self-talk can be difficult．Why is this an important skill to develop? 38 ．To genuinely ease a
strong negative emotion requires tackling the source by examining the underlying belief and how accurate, reasonable,
or useful it is．
Seek Support from Partners
Ask others you trust to help you recognize when your emotions seem to be getting the best of you.
39 ．Agree on a gesture or word that might serve as a signal that your trusted individual wonders whether you’re
riding the led-by-your-limbic-system train．Of course, there will be times they’re wrong．So, it’s important not to
respond defensively when you get that signal．Reacting with anything other than gratitude ensures that your partner
won’t take that risk again．
Cultivate（培养）Curiosity
Our brains are wired to draw conclusions and form judgments at lightning speed, and those are frequently the
cause of our negative emotions． 40 , but we tend to run with them, sparking the self-talk that
follows．Generally working to be more curious about other people’s experiences, including their self-identified
motives for their behavior, helps avoid making hasty judgments．
A．They are comfortable with all emotions
B．Those judgments are not necessarily accurate
C．Doing so provides you with choices as to how to act
D．Explain your developmental goals and sincerely ask for help
E．Stay focused on coming up with an answer and following through on it
F．Because it is those background beliefs that fuel our emotional responses
G．Here are four ways you can develop greater emotional self-management

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 was a dream born in fire．Andrea Peterson was 5 when she was trapped on the ledge（窗台）of a burning
building．
“Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, whose eyes are firm and courageous, along with
professional rescue techniques．Seeing this, little Andrea jumped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She
wanted to fight fires as her rescuers did．
She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed naturally the way grown-ups do when a kid says he
wants to be an astronaut or a sports star．But this was back in a time when little girls weren’t even allowed to
fantasize（幻想）about such grand goals．
“You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her．“You’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you
can never be a fireman.”
Indeed, life sidelined her ambitious dream．She was studying for a degree in aviation technology（航空科技）
and that’s where she met her husband, Dennis．Unfortunately, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer．Peterson spent 31
years caring for the man she loved, and in 2007, when Dennis was about to leave, he was at peace but worried for
her．“But what are you going to do?” “I’ll be fine,” she told him．
At 61, she attended a course for emergencies．She went on an ambulance ride-along from time to time．It
turned out to be a life-and-death situation, which reminded her of the childhood experience back in the fire．But
every time she saw people who were in need were successfully rescued, Peterson felt that long-ago childhood
calling．She earned her emergency medical technician license and responded to fire calls with the ambulance．She
found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with the variety of hurts and ills．The inside
calling echoed increasingly stronger．
