At the start f my first lessn in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher tld me t write my name. After I put it dwn, he said, plainly: “Nw I will teach yu hw t make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch.
Grwing up in Singapre, I had an uneasy relatinship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese but they didn’t speak Mandarin. Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used frtune tellers t decide my name based n the ideal number f strkes (笔画) fr each character, which was calculated fr the best frtune. Chinese names can be truly petic. Nt mine. Embarrassingly, the characters fr my Chinese name mean, rughly, “ld,” “barley” and “warm.” My persnal and cultural histries were messy knts.
When I arrived in America fr cllege at 18, I embraced critical analysis and creative expressin. It felt like a way t abandn the strict frmalities that defined my early years in Singapre’s high-pressure educatin system, and with it, perhaps, parts f my identity. Suddenly, I felt the need t present myself in a way that Americans wuld accept. I put n an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately, after 14 years in the States, I decided t learn calligraphy. Why nt get back in tuch with my heritage? I thught.
In calligraphy, the idea is t replicate (复制) the ld masters’ techniques, thereby enhancing yur wn. Every week, my teacher wuld evaluate my writing. “Yu need t be braver,” he nce bserved. “Yur challenge is in prducing a bld strke.” Fr years, I had prided myself n develping an image f integratin and cnfidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me.
I had been learning calligraphy t try t get in tuch with my cultural rts, but what I was really seeking was a return t myself. That first lessn came with the terrific prmise that what had been shameful in myself culd be made beautiful—and that I culd be the ne t d that wrk. I knw nw that what calligraphy teaches me is nt the value f replicatin but the pssibility that I culd knw myself mre fully.
4．What criterin guided the selectin f the authr’s Chinese name?
A．Petic sund patterns.B．Ideal symblic images.
C．Favrable strke cunts.D．Psitive literal meanings.
5．Why did the authr adpt an American accent?
A．T break with traditin.B．T fit int the cmmunity.
C．T achieve academic success.D．T facilitate language learning.
6．What have we learned abut the authr’s experience with calligraphy?
A．It revealed her inner self.B．It imprved her public image.
C．It presented n challenge t her.D．It enhanced her replicatin skills.
7．What has the authr learned frm calligraphy?
A．Frtune favrs the bld.B．Embrace wh yu truly are.
C．Our rts define ur identity.D．Planning is gd, but ding is better.
Imagine standing in frnt f a supermarket shelf with 40 types f jam. Yu might think mre chices wuld make yu happier, but research suggests therwise. The “Paradx f Chice” is a fascinating cncept that has interested scilgists fr decades. On the surface, mre ptins seem t ffer mre freedm and satisfactin. We live in an age when the vast abundance f chices, frm streaming services t nline shpping, shuld, in thery, make ur lives better. Hwever, research has shwn that this verwhelming variety can lead t “decisin paralysis,” where we get stuck with s many ptins that we can hardly make up ur minds. In fact, an abundance f chices can reduce verall satisfactin with ur decisins.
Psychlgist Barry Schwartz explains that peple wh are presented with t many ptins tend t becme “maximizers” — individuals wh keep trying t find the best chice. They cmpare every feature, price, and pssibility, ften fearing that they might miss ut n a better ptin. This leads t a state f cnstant regret, even befre the decisin is made, as they wrry abut what they might have verlked. In cntrast, “satisfiers” lk fr smething that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their utcmes. They dn’t need the best ptin; they just need ne that wrks fr them. They are cntent with their chices because they aren’t paralyzed by the pssibility f making the wrng ne. While maximizers are trapped in endless cmparisn, satisfiers are cntent because they aren’t paralyzed by the fear f making the wrng chice.
Scial media has made this paradx even wrse by acting as a “never-ending cmparisn machine.” We n lnger just cmpare urselves t ur neighbrs, but we cmpare ur lives t edited, idealized versins f ther peple’s lives arund the wrld. This cnstant expsure t better alternatives nly increases the sense f discntent with ur wn decisins.
T address this, sme experts recmmend vluntary limitatin. By cnsciusly limiting ur chices, whether it’s thrugh a minimalist wardrbe (衣柜) r a simplified diet, we can reduce unnecessary mental pressure that stps us frm deciding easily. The gal is nt t have less, but t free up space fr what truly matters t us. By intentinally narrwing ur ptins, we can make mre rm fr meaningful experiences.
8．What is the authr’s attitude t diverse chices?
A．Critical.B．Enthusiastic.
C．Dismissive.D．Defensive.
9．What is a typical behavir f a “satisfier”?
A．Making quick decisins naturally.
B．Feeling satisfied with every chice.
C．Seeking the perfect ptin cnstantly.
D．Caring much abut nline cmparisns.
10．What rle des scial media play in the paradx f chice?
A．It helps peple find better deals nline.
B．It simplifies the decisin-making prcess.
C．It prvides a realistic view f thers’ lives.
D．It fuels dissatisfactin with ne’s wn chices.
11．What des “vluntary limitatin” imply in the last paragraph?
A．A lack f digital resurces.
B．A lss f persnal freedm.
C．A strategic reductin f chices.
D．A temprary break frm technlgy.
Tw years ag, Chris and Jenna Humphrey mved t their rural dream huse, sitting in splendid islatin in the suth Nrflk cuntryside. Nw n three sides f their hme, the fields are set t be filled with slar panels fr ne f Britain’s grwing number f huge slar farms. “I’m all fr slar — we have panels n ur garage (车库) rf,” says Chris. “It just seems criminal that hundreds f new huses are being built dwn the rad and nne has slar panels, when they wuld benefit husehlds. But my bigger cncern is these slar farms. They seem t reflect big-business thinking aimed at generating prfits — they are putting prfits befre the cuntryside, fd prductin and the envirnment.”
With thusands f panels cvering an extensive stretch f land, these prjects are cnsidered by sme residents as industrial factries rather than green slutins. Their nce peaceful and rural cmmunity is nw under attack. A villager named Berry, fr instance, is wrried abut pllutin when panels are driven int the land suppsedly prtected fr her drinking water.
Adding t the frustratin is a grwing sense that lcal decisins are subject t being verturned by a higher authrity. In many cases, lcal cuncils hld a vte and decisively reject a slar farm plan. Hwever, the applicatin can then be sent t a natinal gvernment minister fr a final decisin. This prcess makes peple feel that their lcal demcratic (民主的) rights have been taken away, with decisins abut their cmmunity made far away in the capital. It’s a situatin that has left many feeling angry and pwerless.
Fr sme landwners, their chice is shaped by ecnmic reality. “A lt f the land we’re taking ut f prductin is land that desn’t make mney. It just prduces sme lw-grade feed fr cattle,” says ne f the farmers wh have rented fields t a slar farm cmpany. He says he is lsing mney n his wheat fields and the cmpany will net him upwards f £1,000 per acre (英亩) per year. “Peple like t think the cuntryside never changes and always lks beautiful,” he says. The cuntryside has t make mney like everywhere else. A lt f peple supprt the slar farm. Peple are much mre psitive than is being made ut.”
12．The wrd “criminal” (para.1) mainly expresses Chris’s criticism f _______.
A．the failure t use slar panels where apprpriate
B．the large-scale cnstructin f new huses
C．the prfit-driven peratin f slar farms
D．the increasing reliance n slar energy
13．Accrding t para.2 and 3, sme residents’ cncern with slar farms is rted in_________.
① the vast scale f slar farm prjects.
② the ptential peratinal risks in factries
③ the cmplex vting system facing the lcal cmmunity
④ the gvernment decisin-making prcess that ignres lcal vices
A．①②B．①④C．②③D．②④
14．What des the farmer’s situatin in the last paragraph suggest?
A．A natural landscape appeals t lcal farmers mre than an industrial ne des.
B．The slar farm prject can be a prfitable alternative t cnventinal farming.
C．Realizing green gals utweighs satisfying lcal cmmunity needs.
D．Sme farmers unwillingly rent their wheat fields t slar farm cmpanies.
15．What’s the main fcus f this passage?
A．The financial struggles faced by British farmers.
B．The envirnmental dangers caused by slar technlgy.
C．The gvernment’s effrts t prmte renewable energy.
D．The cntrversy ver large slar farms in the cuntryside.
Fd Technlgy is a vital subject but has fallen ut f favur in recent years, vershadwed by “academic” subjects. 16 As a Fd Technlgy teacher, I firmly believe that the time has cme t reinvent it
Engaging students in Fd Technlgy can help shape practical prblem-slving skills, enabling them t make mre infrmed chices abut their diets. But Fd Technlgy must evlve t meet the demands f the mdern age. 17 Instead, a mdern fd tech prgram must be reflective f current culinary (烹饪的) innvatins. We need a curricula (课程) that emphasizes fresh, seasnal ingredients, and internatinal cuisines.
In an era when students can shw ff their recipes via scial media, we can als seize the pprtunity t intrduce technlgy int ur fd tech classes. Beynd being tls fr accessing infrmatin, digital platfrms have the ptential t enhance ur culinary instructin techniques. We can task students with develping their wn meal-planning apps. 18
In my reimagined Fd Technlgy classes, inclusivity wuld play a further crucial rle. We nw live in a multicultural sciety, where fd practices vary widely. By celebrating diverse traditins, we can teach students abut nutritin frm a range f cultural perspectives. 19 It’s imprtant that students learn t respect and celebrate the differences that fd represents. Such an apprach wuld nt nly help t build their understanding and empathy, but als t enrich and expand their culinary hrizns and fuel their interest in trying new fds.
20 Wh knws — we might well end up with classrms full f future chefs, health advcates and fd scientists, all eager t cme up with their wn slutins t the wrld’s culinary challenges.
A．Cking can bridge differences.
B．Each dish tells a unique cultural stry.
C．Or we can engage them in interactive cking lessns.
D．Gne, after all, are the days f simply biling cabbage.
E．Yet there is a grwing awareness f diet-related health issues.
F．T achieve that, hwever, we’ll need mre passinate educatrs.
G．Diverse lcal recipes are seldm mentined in mdern Fd Technlgy

My mst memrable Thanksgiving happened last year at ur lcal church, where a simple utreach prgram blssmed int a prfund lessn n the pwer f sharing, care, and inclusin.
A week befre Thanksgiving, with a few church members, we wanted t give away hliday meals fr families in ur cmmunity. We cntacted neighbrs and scial wrkers fr families wh might be struggling. Their respnses were verwhelming: a single mther, Amy, wrking tw jbs t pay medical bills; an elderly cuple, Mr and Mrs Jnes, whse fixed incme culdn’t stretch; the Tmas family, displaced by a recent fire...
Eventually, we created a list f 10 families in financial need, each t receive a Thanksgiving fd basket. These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities fr a traditinal hliday meal: glden stuffing mix, green beans, sweet ptates, jellied cranberry sauce, flur, butter, nins, and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams.
That night, the fellwship hall buzzed with laughter and emtin. As each family arrived t pick up their basket, their gratitude was evident. Mr and Mrs Jnes shared hw this wuld be their first full meal tgether in weeks. Amy spke quietly abut jb lsses, and thers abut hardships. Yet, in that hall, there was warmth restred.
Just as the families were abut t leave, a father, mther, and a child with wrn but neat clthes stepped in. The father said they had simply heard thrugh wrd f muth that a church was giving ut fd and decided t cme. Clearly, they were nt n ur list. I apprached them and explained that we were unable t prvide supplies tday fr an extra family due t limited resurces. I felt s srry as I lked at the family, hping they wuld understand the difficult circumstances. The man respnded with an awkward smile, saying, “Oh, never mind. We just came t see if anything was available. Thank yu anyway.”

Dear classmates,
Gd cmmunicatin plays a vital rle in ur study and daily life, s tday I’d like t share three practical cmmunicatin skills that I have learned.

These simple skills have imprved my teamwrk a lt. I hpe all f us can master them t build better interpersnal relatinships.
47．参考范文：
Just as the disappinted family were abut t leave, Mrs Jnes stpped them. She hurried ver with her neatly packed fd basket. “Wait a mment,” she said gently, fetching an empty bx frm the crner f hall. She pulled ut a bag f glden stuffing mix and laid it carefully int the bx. Mr Jnes std beside her, ndded in agreement, “We dn’t need s much fd fr just the tw f us.” Inspired by their kindness, Amy reached int her basket fr a jar f jellied cranberry sauce, while the Tmas family cntributed six plump sweet ptates. One by ne, each family stepped frward and ffered an item. Sn, the empty bx was transfrmed int the 11th special basket, brimming with all the Thanksgiving necessities, wven tgether by the lve f everyne present.
Seeing the special “basket”, the family were mved t tears. The mther quickly wiped her mist eyes with the back f her hand, and clutched her child tightly t her chest, while the father held the basket as if it were a precius treasure. “Thank yu, thank yu all s much,” he said harsely, his vice chked with deep gratitude. The child lked up at the crwd and whispered a shy yet sincere“thank yu” t. As they left, the warm glw f the church lights fell n their figures, gently illuminating their path hme. That night, we all grasped the true essence f Thanksgiving — it lies nt just in giving, but in sharing hand in hand.
