Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do-it-yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.
She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.”
Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures, so, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.”
With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifth wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.

24. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1?
A. An artist. B. A winner. C. A specialist. D. A pioneer.
25. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day?
A. For a birthday gift.
B. As a treat for her work.
C. To support her DIY projects.
D. To encourage her to take up a hobby.
26. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented?
A. By making it look like before.
B. By furnishing it herself.
C. By splitting the rent with a roommate.
D. By cancelling the rental agreement.
27. What trend in DIY does the research show?
A. It is becoming more costly.
B. It is getting more time-consuming.
C. It is turning into a seasonal industry.
D. It is gaining popularity among females.

C

I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Caarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学).

That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you —

and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of.

28. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?
A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner. C. Jostein Caarder. D. A college teacher.
29. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiner’s book.
30. What does the author like about The Socrates Express?
A. Its views on history are well-presented. B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers. D. It leaves an open ending.
31. What does the author think of Weiner’s book?
A. Objective and plain. B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Humorous and straightforward.

Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche — we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.

32. How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A. They cause mixed feelings in people. B. They should be kept in national parks.
C. They are of high scientific value. D. They are a symbol of American culture.
33. What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A. The European settlers’ behavior. B. The expansion of bears’ range.
C. The protection by law since 1975. D. The support of Native Americans.
34. What has stopped the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies?
A. The opposition of conservation groups. B. The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C. The voice of the biologists. D. The local farmers’ advocates.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B. People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C. A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D. Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.

Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person

Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer.   36  .
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
● Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.   37  . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice.   38  . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other more annoying situations.
●   39  
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “  40  .” You’ll then gradually become more patient.

A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For thousands of years, people have told fables (寓言)   61   (teach) a lesson or to pass on wisdom. Fables were part of the oral tradition of many early cultures, and the well-known Aesop’s fables date to the   62   (six) century, B.C. Yet, the form of the fable still has values today,

  63   Rachel Carson says it in “A Fable for Tomorrow”.
Carson uses a simple, direct style common to fable. In fact, her style and tone (口吻) are seemingly directed at children. “There was once a town in the heart of America,   64   all life seemed to enjoy peaceful existence with its surroundings,” her fable begins,   65   (borrow) some familiar words from many age-old fables. Behind the simple style, however, is a serious message   66   (intend) for everyone.   67   (difference) from traditional fables, Carson’s story ends with an accusation instead of a moral. She warns of the environmental dangers facing society, and she teaches that people must take responsibility   68   saving their environment.

The themes of traditional fables often deal with simple truths about everyday life. However, Carson’s theme is a more weighty   69   (warn) about environmental destruction. Carson proves that a simple literal form that has been passed down through the ages can still

  70   (employ) today to draw attention to important truths.

41. D 考查动词辨析。根据上文“I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer”可知，此处指我们第一次住进这个房子。stay意为“停留，逗留；留宿，暂住”。故选D。

47. C 考查形容词辨析。根据“the nice, round,        things you get in a supermarket”可知，该空与“nice”、“round”并列，指超市的西红柿看起来都是又圆又好看，光鲜亮丽的。shiny意为“发光的，有光泽的”。故选C。
48. B 考查形容词辨析。根据上文的“because they were so misshapen: not at all like the nice, round,        things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label (标签) on it.”可知，我们认为西红柿和酒可能不是很好。good意为“好的”。故选B。

55. A 考查形容词辨析。根据上文“Nowadays supermarket tomatoes       perfect but taste of water.”可知，此处指超市西红柿好看不好吃，没有人会对此有开心的回忆。happy意为“开心的”。故选A。
56. D 考查动词辨析。根据上文“grow square ones so that they can”可推知，方形的西红柿更容易打包装箱。本句通过反讽语气吐槽现代农业讲究效率，不讲究味道。pack意为“打包”。故选D。

第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了寓言这种文学形式在今天仍然具有价值。
61. to teach 考查非谓语动词。句意：几千年来，人们通过讲述寓言来进行说教或传授智慧。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，此处应用不定式作目的状语，表示人们讲述寓言故事的目的。且空处应与or后面的to pass on构成并列关系。故填to teach。
62. sixth 考查数词。句意：寓言是许多早期文化口述传统的一部分，而著名的伊索寓言可以追溯到公元前6世纪。“the+序数词+century”表示“第……世纪”。故填sixth。
63. as 考查定语从句。句意：然而，正如雷切尔·卡森在《明日寓言》中所说，寓言的形式在今天仍然具有价值。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，表示“正如”之意，应用关系代词as引导。故填as。
64. where 考查定语从句。句意：“从前，在美国的中心地带有一个小镇，那里所有的生命似乎都与周围的环境和谐共生，”她的寓言是这样开头的，借用了许多古老寓言中的一些熟悉的词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为town，关系词在非限制性定语从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
65. borrowing 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词begins，所以空处作非谓语。borrow与其逻辑主语her fable之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填borrowing。
66. intended 考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，简洁的风格背后是一个想要传达给每个人的重要信息。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词is，所以空处为非谓语。intend与其逻辑主语messages之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作定语，构成be intended for sb.结构，意为“是为某人而提供/设计的”。故填intended。
67. Different 考查词性转换。句意：与传统寓言不同，卡森的故事以一种谴责而非道德说教结束。该处考查be different from ...结构，意为“与……不同”，应用difference的形容词形式，构成形容词短语在句中作状语。故填Different。
68. for 考查介词。句意：她警告社会面临的环境危险，并教导人们必须承担起保护环境的责任。该处考查take responsibility for ...结构，意为“对……负责”。故填for。
69. warning 考查词性转换。句意：然而，卡森的主题是对环境破坏的一个更严重的警告。分析句子结构可知，空处应填warn的名词形式作表语。根据空前的不定冠词a可知，空处应填可数名词的单数形式。故填warning。
70. be employed 考查动词的语态。句意：一种世代相传的简单文学形式（寓言），今天仍然可以用来吸引人们去关注重要的真理。分析句子结构可知，宾语从句缺少谓语动词。从句主语a simple lyric form与employ之间为被动关系，应用被动语态。情态动词can后接动词原形。故填be employed。
第四部分 写作
第一节  短文改错
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经害怕昆虫，但是上星期五的生物课使作者认识到了昆虫的有趣之处。
第一处（第一句）：在to后添加be 考查固定短语。句意：过去我害怕昆虫，但是上星期五的生物课使我（对昆虫的看法）发生了很大的变化。该处考查短语be afraid of ...，意为“害怕……”。又因主句为used to do sth.结构，因此应用系动词的原形be。故在to后添加be。
第二处（第一句）：make→made 考查动词的时态。句意同上。根据语境可知，事情发生在上周五，因此应用一般过去时。故将make改为made。
第三处（第二句）：we→us 考查代词。句意：在那节课上，我们的生物老师赵老师给我们展示了邮票上的昆虫。该处考查show sb. sth.结构，在这个结构中，sb.作动词show的宾语，应用宾格形式。故将we改为us。
第四处（第三句）：butterfly→butterflies 考查名词的复数。句意：邮票上的蜜蜂、蝴蝶和许多其它昆虫看起来可爱又美丽。分析句子结构可知，butterfly和上文的bees以及下文的many other insects并列，应用其复数形式。故将butterfly改为butterflies。
第五处（第三句）：beautifully→beautiful 考查词性转换。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，looked为系动词，其后应接形容词作表语。故将beautifully改为beautiful。
第六处（第四句）：or→and 考查连词。句意：赵老师给我们讲述了昆虫的名字，并描述了它们的生活习性。分析句子结构可知，told us the names of the insects和described their living habits为并列关系，并非选择关系。故将or改为and。
第七处（第五句）：what→which 考查定语从句。句意：她甚至播放了一些它们唱歌的录音，这很有趣。分析句子结构可知，逗号后面为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词singing，从句缺少主语，指物，应用which引导。故将what改为which。
第八处（第六句）：删除of 考查介词。句意：现在，我开始喜欢上那些小生物了。指示代词those可直接作前置定语，修饰名词短语small living things，不需要介词。故删除of。
第九处（第七句）：第二个the→a 考查冠词。句意：当我晚上在学校的花园里散步时，昆虫的歌声对我来说变得更有意义了。该处考查短语take a walk，泛指“散步”。故将第二个the改为a。
第十处（第七句）：become→becomes 考查主谓一致。句意同上。根据语境可知，此处为一般现在时；分析句子结构可知，主语the singing of insects为单数形式，因此谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故将become改为becomes。
第二节  书面表达
Li Bai, one of the greatest poets of China’s Tang Dynasty, is celebrated for his profound and lyrical verses. His poetry, filled with vivid imagery and deep emotions, beautifully encapsulates life’s transient beauty.
Li Bai’s work is significant to Chinese culture, reflecting the philosophies and ethos of the Tang era. His poetry, transcending time and space, communicates universal themes of nature’s beauty and human longing for freedom.
His legacy inspires us to express our inner feelings and views of the world. His artistic mastery reminds us of the power of words, urging us to engage with our own creative pursuits, shaping the world with our unique voices.

W: Could you please tell me how I can get to the student dorm building?
M: Sure. Turn left when you walk out of this register office. Pass the bookstore and you’ll see it.
Text 2
M: We couldn’t ask for a better day, could we, Barbara?
W: I know, Steve. There isn’t a cloud in the sky. I love this time of year.
M: Me too. The flowers are beautiful. A calling for rain though.

M: We got any plans this weekend?
W: We might start with our vegetable garden, then the barbecue.
M: Sounds fun, but I still want to go fishing with George.

M: Lisa, I saw Jack this morning.
W: You mean the former designer of our company? What’s he doing these days?
M: He said he’s got a new job as an art reporter.

M: Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for what you’ve shared with our listeners. Now, please tell us, do you sometimes feel worried about your daughter, now that she’s grown up?
W: Oh, I worry about her like all parents do. After she graduated from medical school, she went to volunteer medical service in Africa.
M: Wow!
W: That’s OK if communication was fine. But if there was no Internet or telephone connection, we could sometimes go two weeks without getting in touch with each other. That often worries me.

W: Now, sell yourself in a minute, please.
M: I graduated from university two years ago, and have since been working in an accounting company. Apart from the knowledge, skills related to my major, I’m really good with computers. I have a large amount of experience working with big data. I think I’m well qualified for the accountant position here.
W: Good! Why did you choose this company?
M: Peterson has been my dream company all along. You value progress and focus on the quality of work more than the quantity. The flexible working hours and working from home is also attractive.
W: Ah huh. What do you think is your biggest weakness?
M: Well, when I work, I often concentrate so much on what I’m doing that I may have a hard time dealing with things that come up unexpectedly. That may be annoying to some people.
W: All right. Thank you very much.

W: So Robert, I guess you must be well into your third decade as a writer. How was life treating you?
M: Fourth decade as a writer. Hmm ... let me get my calculator out. Well, I guess I’ve been writing novels since the 1980s. So you’re right. But I have been writing all my life. And to answer your question, life has been treating me excellently.
W: Can I ask you about your childhood? Were you a bookish child?
M: In a strange way, I was a non-reader until I turned nine. I used to play basketball in the school yards of Brooklyn. My father was a high school teacher of physics and chemistry. And he was a big reader. He would bring books back from his high school library. One day, I read the last chapter of a book, the title of which I’ve long since forgotten. I liked it so much that I started reading the remainder. Interestingly, I read the chapters backwards until I got to the beginning. I really loved the experience. And I soon became an eager reader. Then my father would bring piles of books home from the library. And I would read them all, and they were all fiction. I must add that I started reading the books from the start as opposed to working backwards.
Text 10
M: Hello, I’m Maxim Vengerov, and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with open Tchaikovsky competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in open Tchaikovsky competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Where else can you see young players playing within ten days classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the final stage? As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician.
