Dear Tommy,
I am Ole Orver, Finnair’s chief commercial officer. It’s my pleasure to warmly welcome you back to the skies with Finnair. I’d like to reflect on some of the developments that we hope you find exciting and helpful.
This summer season you can fly with Finnair to over 70 European and five US destinations. In Asia, we serve eight cities, including Guangzhou and newly added Mumbai starting 6 August. We operate over 300 daily flights and I'm excited about the addition of Seattle and Dallas to our US network.
Travel is recovering everywhere, and airports around the world are working hard to manage increased traffic volumes. It is a good idea to reserve some éxtra time at the airport before your flight. We are doing our very best together with our partners both at Helsinki and in our outstations to offer you a smooth travel experience during this popular travel season.
You are again able to offset (抵消) flight carbon emissions, this time with a service that combines sustainable aviation (航空) fuel and certified climate projects. We at Finnair have ambitious emissions targets and our customers wish for a simple and transparent way to contribute.
Finnair Plus turned 30 in May. We are committed to developing the programme further to serve you in the best possible way. To make your flight bookings smoother, we recently upgraded the experience of booking award flights in the Finnair app.
Finally, I’d like to thank you for your patience when we haven’t got things quite right. Wherever you’re travelling in the next few months, I hope it’s memorable. Thank you for flying Finnair.
Kind Regards,
Ole Orver

Abandoned outside an orphanage as a baby and adopted at the age of three by a family in the Netherlands, 16-year-old model Abbing has become known around the world, as a model who has appeared in fashion magazines-but also as an inspiring representative of the albino(白化病人)community.
When it comes to modelling, Abbing has found her difference more of a blessing: She is represented by the Zebedee Talent agency, which aims to make people who have disabilities more visible in the world of fashion.
“I want to help people to see that being different is good, and definitely not some curse (诅咒), as they believe in countries like Tanzania and Malawi, ” said Abbing. “Some companies try to include models who are different, but sometimes for the wrong reason, because they want to say: ‘Hey, look at us! We are also including people with differences or people of different color’. ”
But Abbing welcomes what she sees as a shift. People now want to learn about and accept differences. “They should also talk with people with differences directly, ask them questions and listen to what they have to say,” she urged.
When not in front of the camera, Abbing loves climbing and swimming, and used to love competitive sports. It’s important for her to focus on what is possible, rather than what isn’t. “At school, teachers tend to look at the things you cannot do. I really didn’t like that, although they meant well, I would rather they had focused on the things I can do instead.”
Abbing loves travelling, meeting new people and particularly working with artists. The teen also pours her creativity into decoration artwork. ”Because I see the world from a different angle, my artwork turns out a little different as well, " she said.
4．What is the main reason for Abbing’s being chosen by Zebedee?
A．Her physical disability.
B．Her youthful appearance.
C．Her success in the fashion world.
D．Her fame in the albino community.
5．What does Abbing think of some companies hiring disabled models?
A．It is racial discrimination.
B．It is a positive change.
C．It is completely justified.
D．It is real acceptance of difference.
6．Which of the following best describes Abbing?
A．Creative and honest.
B．Outgoing and patient.
C．Confident and optimistic.
D．Athletic and humorous.
7．What message does Abbing’s story convey?
A．Everyone is born equal.
B．Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C．Love makes the world go around.
D．You are beautiful the way you are.

Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis, according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫 害), with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
     “Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel, ” she says, “ that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people. ” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12, 189 km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise,” she says. Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “ not only important for them, but for all humanity, ” said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
8．What does the underlined phrase “final nail in the coffin” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．The last straw.
B．The last challenge.
C．The last possibility.
D．The last opportunity.
9．Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．To explain the main reason for language density.
B．To show the common features of endangered languages.
C．To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D．To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
10．What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do?
A．Support migrants to access local education.
B．Discourage people from massive migration.
C．Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D．Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B．Lost for Words: Climate Crisis Brings Threat of Catastrophe
C．Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D．Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis

Technology seems to discourage slow reading. Reading on screens tires eyes easily. So online writing is more skimmable than print. The neuroscientist Mary Walt argued this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, dramatic transformation” in how readers process words. And brains now favor rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis.
We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. “Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline, ” The American author Selvin wrote. “But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ”
Yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means there’s more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing means rapid release and response. Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.
Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a source of personal achievement. But this advocacy emphasizes “enthusiastic” or “eager” reading — neither suggest slow absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he’s done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.
The human need for this kind of deep reading is too determined for any new technology to destroy. We often assume technological change can’t be stopped, so older media are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn’t killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.
12．What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin’s opinion?
A．Favorable. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
13．Which statement would the author probably agree with?
A．Advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading.
B．Digital writing and reading tends to ignore careful reflection.
C．We should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain.
D．The number of Internet readers declines due to technology.
14．Why is “swimmer” mentioned in paragraph 4?
A．To demonstrate how to immerse oneself in thought.
B．To stress swimming differs from reading.
C．To show slow reading is better than fast reading.
D．To illustrate what slow reading is like.
15．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Slow Reading is Here to Stay
B．Technology Prevents Slow Reading
C．Reflections on Deep Reading
D．The Wonder of Deep Reading

“Why are we bringing groceries for Mrs. Killinger?” Bobby asked his mother, Anna, as they walked back from the supermarket with a few extra bags for their elderly neighbor. He enjoyed helping his mother with these tasks, but they had never bought anything for any neighbor before.
“Honey, Mrs. Killinger is now having trouble walking around, so I offered to bring some things from the market,” Anna explained as they climbed up the wooden steps to Mrs. Killinger’s house and rang the doorbell.
“Ok, but she could get a wheelchair and move around,” the boy commented as if it was the most straightforward solution in the world.
“You know, Bobby. Mrs. Killinger doesn’t have the money to buy one right now.
They can get expensive.”  Anna explained, and Bobby pursed his lips in thought.
Mrs.Killinger answered the door, smiled, and invited them for some coffee and cookies. Bobby noticed how slowly she moved, and an idea formed in his mind. He told the older woman and his mother all about it, and they grinned at him indulgently (宽容地笑).Neither of them thought Bobby would do it.
That’s why Anna was surprised the following day when Bobby had made several ads. “Mom, can you add your phone number here, so people can call me with work?”
“Oh, honey. This is very sweet. But I don’t know if it’ll be enough to raise the money she needs to buy a wheelchair,” Anna explained. She loved that her son had such a big heart, but he didn’t want him to be heartbroken if no one called or he couldn’t raise the money.
“Well，at least，I can say that I tried to help，” Bobby chirped (欢快地说)with his bright smile and eager eyes. Anna nodded and added her phone number to the ads. In his ad, Bobby offered his “services” which included helping with shopping, mowing lawns, keeping company, and walking dogs. He also left the price of his services, which made Anna smile. He honestly just wanted to help.

9．推理判断题。根据第三段“Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet.

12．A 13．B 14．D 15．A

【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者从各角度就科技对阅读的影响阐述了自己的观点并推崇慢速阅读。
12．推理判断题。由文章第二段“We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. ‘Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,’ The American author Selvin wrote. ‘But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ’(我们不应该夸大这种危险。所有读者都会略读。略读是我们在学习更熟练地阅读时获得的技能。事实证明，对注意力持续时间下降的担忧是虚惊一场。美国作家Selvin写道，‘一些评论家担心注意力持续时间，认为短篇小说是文化衰落的标志，但从来没有人说诗歌是注意力持续时间短的证据’。)”可知，作者是赞成Selvin的观点，诗歌就是注意力持续时间短但文化丰富的深度阅读，所以对阅读注意力持续时间下降的担忧是没有必要的。故选A项。
13．推理判断题。由文章第三段“Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.(一旦发表，在线文章就开始在下面形成一个评论字符串。这种写作和阅读模式可以是互动和有趣的，但可能缺乏深刻的反思。)”可知，作者认为在线写作和阅读往往忽视仔细思考。故选B项。
14．推理判断题。由文章第四段“To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he's done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.(对于一个慢读者来说，只有沉浸在他们对单词的缓慢理解中，才能完全理解一篇文章。阅读速度慢的人就像一个游泳运动员，他不再计算自己在游泳池里跑了多少圈，只是享受自己的身体在水中的感觉和运动。)”可知，一个游泳运动员不再计算自己在游泳池里跑了多少圈，只是享受自己的身体在水中的感觉和运动，作者提到游泳运动员是为了说明慢速阅读是什么样的。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn't killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.(在实践中，旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle并没有像汽车杀死自行车一样杀死印刷书籍。我们仍然想享受慢慢形成的想法和精心挑选的词语。即使在一个快速发展的时代，也有时间慢慢阅读。)”以及上文可知，作者就科技对阅读的影响阐述自己的观点并认为在快速发展的时代中，我们仍然可以享受慢速阅读。所以A项Slow Reading is Here to Stay(慢读还是存在的)符文文意。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了民间习俗——社火游行的历史发展。
36．考查名词。句意：社火游行是一种历史悠久的表演形式，在中国农村地区广泛流行，可以追溯到大约2000年前，那时候人们进行祭祀活动祈求丰收。形容词修饰名词，结合空前widespread，可知此处用不可数名词popularity作宾语，故填popularity。
37．考查主谓一致和时态。句意：社火游行是一种历史悠久的表演形式，在中国农村地区广泛流行，可以追溯到大约2000年前，那时候人们进行祭祀活动祈求丰收。空处在句中为谓语，表示客观事实，所以时态用一般现在时；主语“the shehuo parade”为单数名词，所以空处用单数。故填dates。
38．考查非谓语。句意：后来，随着唱歌和舞蹈成为游行的一部分，社火成为了一种在春节和元宵节去除坏运气和给新的一年带来新的开始的民间习俗被搬上了舞台。分析可知，“　　　　(stage) during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival” 在句中为后置定语，修饰名词custom，custom与动词stage为被动关系，所以此处用过去分词，意为“被在春节和元宵节搬上舞台的习俗”，故填staged。
39．考查非谓语。句意：同上。空处及之后的内容在句中为目的，表示这种民间习俗的目的是去除坏运气和带来新的开始，所以用不定式。故填to remove。
40．考查副词。句意：王马咀村位于陇县，以前被称为“陇州”，这里以真实的表演和简单而精致的面部化妆而闻名。修饰known用副词作状语，故填previously。
41．考查非谓语。句意：同上。分析句子可知，which及之后的内容为非限制性定语从句，空处在定语从句中作后置定语，feature与shehuo parades为主谓关系，所以用现在分词。故填featuring。
42．考查定语从句。句意：每年，陇县都会举办100多场社火活动，每场活动都有数十或数百名村民参加。分析可知，逗号后为非限制性定语从句，关系词指代先行词“shehuo festivals”并在从句中作介词of的宾语，故填which。
43．考查连词。句意：参加者通常在马匹或皮卡上表演，表演不同的节目，包括高跷舞和登陆艇。空处前后的两个名词表示选择关系，指表演的场所，所以用连词or，故填or。
44．考查名词复数。句意：现年65岁的王大爷对自己小时候每年的表演记忆犹新。空处在句中作宾语，要用名词。结合句中“when he was a child”，可知孩提时代的记忆为复数含义，所以此处用复数。故填memories。
45．考查介词。句意：“我家几代人都从事社火表演，”他说。for generations“几代人、祖辈”，固定短语，故填for。

47．One possible version:
Anna helped him put up the ads around the neighborhood. Very quickly Bobby’s ads spread around. Amazed to hear that a ten-year-old was offering his services to help an elderly woman, people from all over the city started calling and asking Bobby to do jobs for them. Soon he was asked to walk dogs, buy groceries, and mow lawns for people. Meanwhile Mrs. Killinger was very pleased with the extra companionship Bobby provided and Bobby quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and kind helper. Seeing the funds increasing, Bobby felt more than delighted.
Two weeks later, Bobby still hadn’t raised the amount of money he wanted. But Bobby didn’t give up. He continued to offer his services to anyone who needed it. Bobby even started a GoFundMe page and shared it on his social media accounts, hoping to reach more people. His efforts paid off when a local news station shared his story, and more people offered their support. Thanks to his hard work and kindness, Bobby was finally able to raise enough funds to purchase a new wheelchair for Mrs. Killinger.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩Bobby在看到邻居Mrs. Killinger没有能力购买轮椅之后决定帮忙筹钱，于是他制作了广告，通过提供自己的服务而获得报酬从而为Mrs. Killinger买轮椅。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Anna帮他在附近张贴广告。”以及第二段首句“两个星期过去了，Bobby仍然没有筹集到他想要的金额。”可知，第一段可描写Anna帮Bobby张贴广告后，Bobby开始了自己的筹钱行动。
②由第二段首句“两个星期过去了，Bobby仍然没有筹集到他想要的金额。”可知，第二段可描写Bobby虽然没有筹集到足够的钱却没有放弃，反而加倍努力。
2.续写线索：Bobby感到疑惑为什么邻居太太不自己去买东西——妈妈说邻居太太走路有困难，但是又没有钱买轮椅——Bobby突然有了个想法，想帮助邻居太太买轮椅——Bobby做了广告，想通过为别人提供服务换取报酬，从而为邻居太太买轮椅——Bobby的想法得到了妈妈的支持——Bobby很努力地赚钱，却还凑不足足够的钱——Bobby并未放弃，努力最终带来了回报
