When I was a boy, I lived across the road from a camp. For nine months out of a year, the camp was mostly empty,so it was my own personal playground. I would ride my bike up and down the quiet road. I would shoot basketballs alone at the court no matter how many times I missed. I would even explore the woodlands near the camp to look for buried treasures in my imagination.
In summer when the camp opened，I would swim every day at the pool. Then I would sneak into（溜进去）the camp's kitchen to get a treasure of my own. My smiling grandma worked there and would hand me a hot roll and some coins from her pocket. I would take my treasure down to the vending（售卖）machine and buy myself a sweet can of Coca Cola to quench my thirst and lighten my heart.
Those memories are over 40 years old now,yet they still live in my mind like it was yesterday. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the old days and talk to that little boy. I would tell him to enjoy and cherish each day he had there. I would tell him that every moment is a gift of life. I would tell him to be here now and try not to blink（眨眼睛）because the years were flying silently. Most of all， I would tell him to stop and hug his grandma every chance he got.
Life seems so short at times. The longest life still seems too brief to learn all we have to learn, to do all we want to do, and to share the love we need to share. What we should do properly is to see the preciousness of each and every second,and live it like it was our last. May we all do so.
24.Why does the author mention the camp?
A.To recall his childhood. B.To remember a friend.
C.To introduce the woods.D.To make a comparison.
25.What does the underlined word“quench”in paragraph 2mean?
A.Find.B.Ignore. C.Cause.D.Satisfy.
26.What does the author say about his memories over four decades?
A.They are filled with sorrows.B.They are still fresh in his mind.
C.They have been lost forever.D.They have fallen into pieces.
27.What does the author expect us to do in the text?
A.Live and learn.B.Believe ourselves.
C.Treasure every day.D.Remain focused.

C
With no special equipment, no fences and no watering, two abandoned agricultural fields in the UK have been rewilded (重新野化), in large part due to the efforts of jays, which actually “engineered” these new woodlands. Researchers now hope that rewilding projects can take a more natural and hands-off approach and that jays can shed some of their bad reputations.
The two fields, which researchers have called the New Wilderness and the Old Wilderness, had been abandoned in 1996 and 1961 respectively. The former was a bare field, while the latter was grassland—both lay next to ancient woodlands. Researchers had suspected that the fields would gradually return to wilderness, but it was impressive to see just how quickly this happened, and how much of it was owed to birds.
Using aerial data, the researchers monitored the two sites. After just 24 years, the New Wilderness had grown into a young, healthy wood with 132 live trees per hectare, over half of which (57%) were oaks. Meanwhile, the Old Wilderness resembled a mature woodland after 39 years, with 390 trees per hectare.
“This native woodland restoration was approaching the structure (but not the species composition) of long-established woodlands within six decades” the researchers explained in the study.
Part of this reforestation was done by the wind, and researchers suspect that previous ground disturbance may have aided the woodland establishment—which is good news, as it would suggest that agricultural areas may be reforested faster than anticipated. However, animals—Eurasian jays, thrushes, wood mice, and squirrels—also played an important role in helping the forests take shape. This handful of species provided much of the natural regeneration needed for the forest to develop. Jays, in particular, seem to have done a lot of heavy lifting.
28. What does the underlined word “shed” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Be opposed to.
B. Be ashamed of.
C. Get used to.
D. Get rid of.
29. Which aspect of the changes in the two fields impressed the researchers?
A. The scale of the woodlands.
B The diversity of the fields.
C. The rate of the changes.
D. The frequency of the wilderness.
30. What does the author want to tell us by providing some data in Paragragh 3?
A. The woodland restoration was approaching the structure of long-established ones.
B. Much of the wilderness of the fields was owed to birds.
C. Previous ground disturbance aided the woodland establishment.
D. How quickly the fields returned to wilderness over time.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The essential role of humans in the reforestation.
B. The factors that contribute to the reforestation.
C. The importance of woodland establishment.
D. The threats faced by a handful of wild animals.

D
In many casual discussion of language on the Internet, it’s common to hear about how “textspeak (短信语言)” is ruining language. Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write. Mainstream media have complained about the way in which people communicate using technology.
Of course, language does change when it’s used to text or write messages online. “Textspeak” is an evolution of language. It’s even the focus of the field of linguistics (语言学) called Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). This field is devoted to the study of interaction facilitated by technology like computers, mobile phones and tablets. People have been complaining about language being “ruined” as long as they’ve been writing and speaking. In a talk, linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people complaining about language change through the ages. He said in AD 63, for example, a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in an “artificial language”. In fact, this writing was a new language that would become French!
Today, people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies. Perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon (表情符号), which can produce very clear pictures in our minds. The emoticon “:)”, for example, is a visual representation of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any number of facial expressions, it doesn’t really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to express a feeling, such as “I’m happy” or “just joking”.
Emoticons that represent these feelings are what linguists call discourse particles. These are little pieces of language that offer information about the tone of the statement though some elders feel puzzled about it. Far from ruining language, it turns out that “textspeak” enables people to communicate complex feelings in a simple, streamlined manner. This kind of change is perfect for the modern, fast-paced world.
32. What have mainstream media complained about according to paragraph 1?
A. Communication barriers. B. The mode of communication.
C. Technological innovations. D. The laziness of modern people.
33. How does the author support the argument on language evolution?
A. By giving an example. B. By conducting an experiment.
C. By making comparisons. D. By underlying assumptions.
34. Which word can best describe emoticons?
A. Misty. B. Violent. C. Vivid. D. Mysterious.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards “textspeak”?
A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
At least 3 million people, or around 6% of the adult population in England aged over 16, say they feel isolated “often or always,” according to Government figures, with those aged between 16 to 24 especially vulnerable(易受影响的). When it comes to our emotional wellbeing, feeling lonely is a risk factor for several mental disorders including schizophrenia and major depression, and also makes us more fearful and anxious.
____36____ What is perhaps less obvious is one answer to the problem: the healing power of poetry to make us feel more connected to others. ____37____ We’re not alone in our despair or delight. When we have a poem by our side, whether tucked into a bag or on a bedside table, it feels like we’re being accompanied by a friend: an authorial arm is wrapped around our shoulders.
I remember one woman starting to cry as she read Derek Walcott’s poem Love After Love during a workshop held at my local hospital in West London. ____38____ Everyone in the room knew just what she meant.

Feast on your life” was what she needed, in language which spoke to her, to imagine loving herself in a way she had always found hard. ____39____
I am not alone in believing in that poems can aid our mental health. A 2021 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that a group of 44 hospitalized children who were encouraged to read and write poetry saw reductions in fear, sadness, anger, worry and fatigue, Poetry was a welcome distraction from stress and an opportunity for self-reflection, the researchers concluded. ____40____
A. Fighting through tears, she eventually said that she felt understood.
B. I hope there will be more clinical studies on poetry’s therapeutic power.
C. Indeed, loneliness is now widely recognized as a major public health problem.
D. Poetry lets us connect with other people who have experienced similar feelings.
E. Unfortunately, an increasing number of people have no idea of emotional well-being.
F. Poetry had worked its magic, unlocking a feeling of inner connection to all of us there.
G. I am hopeful that more studies and evidence will emerge, given my own experience of how poems can help us feel less isolated.

As for the places, please check the message board in the main hall, or ask your teachers for a schedule. Tomorrow, we will have a special guest coming to visit us just before our Christmas concert. As you know, one of our previous graduates won a gold medal in the last Olympics. He will be here to sign shirts and take pictures with students after an introduction by our PE teacher. Finally, the headmaster asks you to remind your parents to get here early for the concert. Although there will be enough seating in the gym, the parking lot gets full very quickly. That's all for the announcements. Have a good week, everyone!
