I was ten years old when I started watching lawn tennis. Having developed interest in tennis, I started following and gaining knowledge about the game. The play of the 100th seed was the best according to me until I asked my father who is the number 1 ranked player in the world, to which he replied—Roger Federer.
That was it! I watched his play at Wimbledon and really couldn’t stop admiring this personality. His silky smooth movement, flawless serve, unreachable powerful forehand, amazing footwork—all of it was pretty amazing. I started playing tennis because of him; he was undoubtedly my role model. I followed his career off the tennis court and learned things about him that really made me a better person in life.
There is a feeling of joy in each stroke that Federer plays and a feeling of excitement in each thing he does whether it is giving an interview, doing a press conference, practicing on court or mere signing the tennis balls for fans. There is never a dull moment when he is around, which inspires everyone to be happy and joyous in life in whatever they do. One of the most important things about him which inspires me is his sense of humor.
Federer first congratulates his opponents and never shies from telling them they played wonderfully well, and that luck was on his side today or that he had a good day, instead of attributing the victory to his hours of hard work and training. He always looks for opportunities to praise others.
Another admirable thing about Federer is his love for the game. It teaches me that it’s great to do what you love. You can excel in any profession if you love it from your heart; it then becomes no more a profession but a thing of joy from which you can get satisfaction and fulfilment each day you practice it. It is no more a duty but a sense of fulfilment（成就）.
He is the most respected player in the game and everyone feels privileged to play against him, and some don’t even mind losing to him! This kind of respect is not gained in a few days but in many years by achieving perfectionism both on and off the court, by inspiring and motivating generations to come and becoming a part of history, by not just getting awards on the court but also by being a good man. Federer’s energy motivates me to keep moving on and on in my life, fighting difficulties with a smile and cherishing good moments as well as not so good.
24. How did the author initially know Federer
A. By watching the play of the 100th seed player.
B. By following a Wimbledon tournament.
C. By participating in a tennis camp.
D. By requiring his father.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about

A. We should never cares about losing a game.
B. We’d better keep a good relationship with anyone.
C. We should treasure both good and not-so-good moments in life.
D. We can learn to handle challenges brought by our opponents.
27. What is probably the best title
A. The Significance of Following a Model B. An Inspiring Legend: Roger Federer
C. The Way to Gain the Sense of Fulfilment D. The Privilege of Being a Tennis Star

Make me a chili pepper lover! People who often chow down on chili peppers may live for longer and have a significantly reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease（心血管疾病）or cancer, research from Cleveland Clinic’s Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute suggests.
Previous studies have found that capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their characteristic kick, can have anti-inflammatory（消炎的）, antioxidant, anti-cancer and blood-glucose regulating effects when eaten. To further investigate the effects of consuming chili peppers, the researchers gathered together the health and dietary records of more than 570,000 patients in the US, Italy, China and Iran, published in four previous large-scale scientific studies.
They found that those who ate chili peppers regularly had a 26% reduction in cardiovascular disease（CVD）death, a 23% relative reduction in cancer death, and a 25% relative reduction in all-cause death, compared to those who rarely or never ate them.
“We were surprised to find that in these previously published studies, regular consumption of chili pepper was associated with an overall risk reduction of all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality. It highlights that dietary factors may play an important role in overall health,” said senior author Dr. Bo Xu, a cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic’s Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute.
“The exact reasons and mechanisms that might explain our findings, though, are currently unknown,” he added. “Therefore, it is impossible to convincingly say that eating more chili pepper can prolong life and reduce deaths, especially from cardiovascular factors or cancer. More research, especially evidence from randomized controlled studies, is needed to confirm these new findings.”
Additionally, as the precise amount and type of chili pepper consumed varied across the four studies used in the research, it’s tricky to determine exactly how much and what type of chili peppers may provide the health benefits. However, the researchers are continuing to analyze the data in the hope of uncovering more concrete evidence.
28. What does the research reveal
A. Chili peppers can cure heart diseases. B. People who love chili peppers live longer.
C. Eating hot peppers may be good for the health. D. Some peppers have been used as medicine.
29. Why are data listed in paragraph 3
A. To correct misunderstandings.
B. To clarify a concept.
C. To prove researchers’ ideas.
D. To provide readers with the truth.
30. What is Dr. Bo Xu’s attitude toward the new findings
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Dismissive.
31. What are the researchers planning to do according to the text
A. Go on the study to find more proofs. B. Conduct a large-scale clinical trials.
C. Discover more potential health benefits. D. Develop new nutrition dietary guidelines.
D
You may feel like a master multitask er as you drink your morning coffee, catch up on email and tune into a conference call. But did you know for most people, in most situations, multitasking makes us less efficient and more likely to make a mistake.
This might not be as apparent when we’re doing simple and routine tasks, like listening to music while walking, or folding laundry while watching TV. But when the stakes are higher and the tasks are more complex, trying to multitask can negatively impact our lives — or even be dangerous.
So-called multitasking divides our attention. It makes it harder for us to give our full attention to one thing. For example, attempting to complete additional tasks during a driving simulation led to poorer driving performance. It can also affect our ability to learn, because in order to learn, we need to be able to focus. Dr. Kubu, a neuropsychologist, says, “If we’re constantly attempting to multitask, we don’t practice tuning out the rest of the word to engage in deeper processing and learning. ”Another pitfall（缺陷）is that trying to do too much at once makes it harder to be mindful and truly present in the moment — and mindfulness comes with a plethora（过量）of benefits for our minds and our bodies. In fact, many therapies based on mindfulness can even help patients suffering from depression, anxiety and other conditions.
Choosing to focus on one task at a time can benefit many aspects of our life. Take surgeons for example. “People assume a surgeon’s skill is primarily in the precision and steadiness of their hands. While there’s some truth to that, the true gift of a surgeon is the ability to single-mindedly focus on one person and complete a series of task over the course of many hours.” Dr. Kubu explains. But surgeons aren’t necessarily born with this ability to monotask. Rather, they develop and perfect it through hours of practice. It is true that we perform best one thing at a time. Why not give it a try
32. Multitasking will make negative influences when tasks are ________.
A. clear and apparent B. routine and regular
C. simple and relaxing D. risky and complicated
33. How did the author develop paragraph 3
A. By listing data. B. By stating reasons.
C. By giving definitions. D. By making comparisons.
34. What does the underlined word “monotask” mean in the last paragraph
A. Single-task. B. Multitask. C. Efficiency. D. Task-switching.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Why multitasking doesn’t work. B. How to improve daily performance.
C. Which career less needs multitasking. D. What positive effects multitasking has.

Perseverance（毅力）is the secret of success. 36 Even if a person is not very talented, nor highly knowledgeable, but of an average merit（优点）, still he can succeed in life simply by his perseverance. Every action has its reaction. So hard labour has no alternative. It must yield（产生）results.
A person who is highly intelligent, and a scholarly genius, but is lethargic（懒散的）by nature, and reluctant to diligence, can hardly prosper in life, because he does not know how to use his brain and labour in the right direction. 37 Say, the loft y monuments, the palaces, the cities, the buildings etc. — all were built only by long and hard labour. “Rome was not built in a day”. It is through perseverance of thousands of diligent men that such magnificent structures can be standing.
38 Science, architecture, literature, music — in every aspect of life —perseverance is the root cause of success and glory. Shakespeare did not compose such substantial works just in a day. He had to work hard during days and nights with tremendous perseverance to create such great masterpieces.
Modern scientists also work hard for years to succeed. 39 If one looks at his own life, he can very well understand that whatever he has so far gained, he has gained it only by his hard labour, and not by chance or magic, or by someone’s grace.
Therefore, perseverance must be practised from the very childhood so that the noble habit becomes a part and parcel of one’s life. With that great advantage or goodwill, a man can walk easily on the risky road of his life’s journey. 40
A. It is crucial to keep growing. B. And success will likely be his and his only. C. Without it, no great achievement is possible. D. Nothing can stop them from achieving their goals. E. In human life, perseverance plays a very important role. F. They carry on their experiments day and night for years together. G. In this world, all the great things have been made or constructed only by perseverance.

The world of tiny sculptures is where I find 56 . Although I’ve attempted larger works, I’ve realized that the 57 and precision of small sculptures are what I 58 love. It’s a reminder to 59 the small moments in life, where great 60 and beauty can often be found.

第二节 书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Johnson,
I’m thrilled to hear that your school is introducing a Chinese elective! To create an immersive learning environment for the classroom, I suggest the following:
First, decorate your classroom with cultural items: Chinese calligraphy, traditional paintings, and maps of China to stimulate interest in the language. Second, engage students with Chinese music, films, and interactive software for more dynamic learning. Finally, include authentic objects like Chinese tea sets or chopsticks, which can help students understand the practical use of the language.
I hope these suggestions will help make the Chinese classroom a place of excitement and inspiration. Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Chinese people have planted 78 billion trees since China launched its nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign 40 years ago. “The nationwide voluntary tree planting has effectively enriched China’s forest resources. Our forest coverage rate has risen from 12 percent in the early 1980s to 23.04 percent at present. Our forest stock volume has increased from 9.028 billion cubic meters to 17.56 billion cubic meters. The campaign has made China the country with the largest increase in forest resources and the largest area of planted forests,” said Zhang Wei, a senior official of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. Regarding the next step of the campaign, the administration said that it will further improve related laws and regulations and encourage more participation into the campaign. First, the Chinese government will speed up the legislation process for the campaign, providing more legal guidance for the activity. “Second, we’ll build more comprehensive service platforms for voluntary tree planting to provide more approaches for residents to fulfill their obligations, ” said Zhang. In addition, China will further popularize ecological knowledge and promote ecological civilization to raise the public awareness of forest conservation.

One possible version:
Dear Johnson,
I’m thrilled to hear that your school is introducing a Chinese elective! To create an immersive learning environment for the classroom, I suggest the following:
First, decorate your classroom with cultural items: Chinese calligraphy, traditional paintings, and maps of China to stimulate interest in the language. Second, engage students with Chinese music, films, and interactive software for more dynamic learning. Finally, include authentic objects like Chinese tea sets or chopsticks, which can help students understand the practical use of the language.
I hope these suggestions will help make the Chinese classroom a place of excitement and inspiration. Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
