Walking into the building, I just felt excited, looking forward to what I was going to find out, something I’d like to share with my beloved husband when I got home.Just as I walked past the Chinese Antique Porcelain section, one collection caught my eyes and heart very much: a Chinese Plate with a drawing of a garden scene with two ladies, a child, a dog and a willow, very beautiful and unique. It reminded me that my mum used to have a similar plate like that: of course it was not from the Ming Dynasty, but we had plates and bowls of a similar design, following and serving us for many years.I still remember every day mum was busy cooking for eight of us. While waiting for the dinner to be ready, we would play in the garden, jumping up and down, with the family dogs and cats also running around. When the dinner was ready, we all ran over to the big round table, everyone holding a bowl with rice, and chopsticks, getting ready to fight for the foods on the table. My mum normally would prepare five or six meals served with those beautiful Chinese plates. The noises of chatting mixed with the warm heat, sweat, and wind blowing would slowly accompany the sun setting down. Mum’s face was full of shine and happiness; she loved to see us finish all her dishes. She would always be the last person to eat, and basically the last to clear the leftover. Mum always put herself last and the children first. When I moved away and lived so far from her, the food that she prepared always stays in my heart, and I always remember the beautiful Chinese plates.Plates for many people can be just tools to serve food, nothing more than that. But for me they are not plates, but a memory.39. Why did the Chinese Plate in the Museum draw the author’s attentionA．Because it was a rare antique from the Ming Dynasty.B．Because it called up her previous experience.C．Because she could share it with her husband.D．Because she remembered Mum had the same plate.40. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3A．She didn’t want to help her mother cook dinner.B．She used to fight against her family for more food.C．Her family enjoyed a warm and happy dinner atmosphere.D．Her mum would serve precious dishes with Chinese plates.41. How does the author sound while telling the storyA．Touched. B．Excited. C．Pleased. D．Encouraged.CLife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patternsDecide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.42. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should .A．slow down and live a simple lifeB．be careful when we choose to changeC．stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD．be content with what we already have43. What is the key to breaking the old patternsA．To focus on every detail.B．To decide and take immediate action.C．To listen to those close to us.D．To think twice before we act.44. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraphA．Escape from your punishmentB．Realization of your dreams.C．Freedom from your tension.D．Reduction of your expectations.45. What does the author intend to tell usA．It's easier than we think to get what we want.B．It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C．It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D．It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.四、阅读表达At 40, I decided to try downhill skiing. My family and I had moved from Haida Gwaii, a remote area with little snow, to Revelstoke, known for its ski hill. We moved for my partner Ty’s job, but we wanted to enjoy the town’s famous slopes (斜坡). We bought season passes and signed our kids up for lessons.Hazel and Arlo had never skied before. Ty had some experience, but I had only skied a few times, and it was harder than I’d thought.I had to work through my fear of heights, falling and getting hurt. I decided to give skiing one full winter.Following a particularly hard day, I took a private lesson. The instructor said I needed more confidence. “You’re better than you think,” she said. “You can’t control the mountain, but you can choose how to navigate it.”I often remember her advice, both on and off the slopes. Near the end of the season, I felt calm on the chairlift (登山吊椅) while I enjoyed the view of the mountains, listening to the kids chatting about school. We skied down together, each in our own style which made me feel happy and satisfied for my family.In Revelstoke, I’m still a poor skier compared to elite (精英的) athletes. But learning to ski in midlife taught me that being perfect isn’t the point. The point is the fun of learning something new and spending time with family.Now, I’m not afraid on the slopes. I feel excited. I didn’t know this about fear — that if you keep moving through it, you’ll find joy on the other side.46.

We brought many books and stationery for the kids there. We taught them simple English songs and told interesting stories. After class, we played games and chatted with them. Their big smiles and warm words deeply touched me.This experience is unforgettable. It taught me the true meaning of giving. Helping others brings me great happiness, and I decide to take part in more volunteer activities in the future.
