21、Machines work well at a constant speed—and the faster the better. They are designed and built for it. Whether they are spinning cotton or dealing with numbers, regular, repetitive actions are what they excel at.

Increasingly, our world is being designed by machines, for machines. We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards: People are judged by the speed with which they respond, not the quality of their response. Such ideas are being woven into our culture. “Always on” becomes something to boast of, or aspire to.

Most of us are busy most of the time, if not with work then with family, domestic tasks or our social networks—real and virtual. When I ask people how they are doing, they almost always answer “busy”. Ticking things off the “to do” list becomes a means of defining ourselves.

A few years ago, I became very interested in what it means to pause. I started to notice where pauses show up in my own work and life. For example, I realized that when I was writing, a short walk was a more effective way to break a creative block than concentrating harder.

I realized that a pause is not nothing. It acts as a kind of switch or opening. As Helene Simonsen, a classical musician, says, “Whatever you are doing, if you want something else to happen, you need to pause.” It is not a fixed unit of time. It might be taking a moment before you enter a room, but it could also be a “screen-free Saturday”, a “Think Week” every two years (which works for Bill Gates) or a year-long vacation. However fast you are moving, there is always the chance to pause—to rest, reflect or refresh of course, but also to appreciate, get perspective, connect to others, or have new ideas.

There is more to life than getting things done. Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a uniform raw material—as the physics of Einstein shows. Try to let go of the idea that time is linear (直线型), regular and objective, and think of it in the same way we experience it. Instead of setting work and life against each other, use pauses to leaven (为增色) your experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): you don’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient.

I want to give pauses more visibility, importance and status. My hope is that each of us can use pauses, great and small, to avoid sliding into a mode where we act like poorly performing machines.

22、“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.

We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.

But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.

I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.

All the lights were off except father’s.

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.

This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.

【1】 Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?

a. I opened the door and entered the house.

b. I ran out into the street angrily.

c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.

d. I recalled my happy childhood.

e. I began to walk about in the street without any aim.

A. e, b, d, c, a  B. b, e, d, c, a

C. b, e, c, d, a  D. e, b, c, a, d

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.

B. The author’s father didn’t approve of his stamp collecting.

C. The author and his father lacked communication.

D. The author’s father opened the door for him when he came back.

【3】 According to the author, why did his father often shout at him?

A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.

B. Perhaps the son had already grown up.

C. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.

D. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.

【4】 What did the author mean by the underlined sentence “My heart was frozen on this hot summer night”?

A. He felt lonely because there were so few people on the street.

B. He felt uncomfortable because it was a very hot night.

A. He loved his father.

B. He was frustrated with his father.

C. He was afraid of his father.

D. He was dissatisfied with his father.

23、To everyone’s surprise, Huawei launched the newest handset, the Mate 60 Pro, equipped with a 5G application processor and satellite phone function, without any prior announcement. This left many Chinese feeling amazed.

With the international situation becoming increasingly challenging, Huawei was encountering significant financial issues. For instance, its revenue (收入) in 2021 declined nearly 30 percent, according to its annual report. For a company like Huawei, this was a major shock and could pose a persistent problem that needed immediate attention. Therefore, it was crucial for Huawei to have its own core technology, especially when it came to chips. Developing chips is a lengthy, demanding, and labor-intensive (劳动密集型的) process, but this didn’t stop Huawei. Instead of purchasing or leasing products from other countries, Huawei decided to invest heavily in research and development.

Huawei’s difficulties are similar to those faced by modern China in its early days. During that time, China lacked advanced technology. Despite this, China managed to develop its own atomic bombs, aircraft carriers, satellites, and fighter jets starting from zero. These advancements guided the country to prosperity and power.

With a determined attitude and united team, Huawei has been successful in breaking free from the chains of past difficulties. In this context, Huawei is “a light canoe that has passed the mountains”. 

As a storm of trouble approached, Huawei chose to confront it rather than give up. Huawei’s attitude of struggling and pushing ahead is the best presentation of the Chinese national spirit and serves as an example for others to follow. In the face of life’s unknown challenges, the key is to look ahead and not give in.

【1】What’s the most important thing for Huawei to solve problems?

A．Independently developing chips.

B．Purchasing products from other countries.

C．Investing in other industries.

D．Raising a large amount of funds.

【2】Why did the author mention the four advancements in the third paragraph?

A．Thanks to advanced technology, China has developed its own atomic bombs.

B．Even in the face of various difficulties, Huawei is bound to succeed.

C．Advancements of atomic bombs guided the country to prosperity and power.

D．Huawei has passed the mountains to solve the significant financial issues.

【3】According to the passage, what does the underlined word mean?

A．escape from

B．understand.

C．separate

D．challenge

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Huawei have the same difficulties as others.

B．Huawei encounters financial issue

C．Huawei overcomes challenges

D．Huawei launched the Mate 60 Pro.

24、   Having met only weeks before,climbers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay shook hands before hugging each other in a moment that would put their names in history books forever. They were on top of the world-literally.After five hours of continuous climbing the two first climbed to the top of Mount Everest, the highest spot on Earth. As the ultimate climbing goal for them both and the dream of most climbers, they had just 15 minutes to absorb the experience of being at 8,848 metres above sea level. Any longer and they may not have made it back to camp to tell the tale.

With this in mind, the pair spent some of their precious minutes searching the area for signs of those who had been before them. The bodies of two previous Everest hopefuls-Andrew Irvine and George Mallory of the 1924 attempt-were in the thoughts of Norgay and Hillary.However, they could find no sign of them having reached the top.

Everest has been responsible for claiming over 300 lives and endangering many others, as it poses huge and unpredictable challenges,with high altitudes(海拔）putting immense tension on human biology and with its icy land making each step a risk. When the climbers made it back to camp and the news spread, global admiration and fame poured in.

Norgay and Hillary were determined to be the first to conquer the world's highest mountain. They had done it. At the time they believed that the box had been ticked and no one else would put themselves through the danger to repeat their achievement. They couldn't have been more wrong. Today hundreds of people choose to follow in their footsteps every year. In contrast to the total isolation(孤立） felt on the first successful journey, during times of ideal weather conditions,queues form up to the mountain's summit. This creates dangerous standstills (停滞）in the mountain's most deadly zones.

Whether you believe these adventurers to be brave, admirable or out of their minds, it is clear that Hillary and Norgay have provided knowledge and inspiration for many to find out how it feels to truly be on top of the world.

【1】What did Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay do on the top of the world?

A.They measured the height of Mount Everest.

B.They celebrated their victory with many climbers.

C.They tried to find signs of earlier climbers.

D.They shared the experience as long as 15 minutes.

【2】What can be inferred about Andrew Irvine and George Mallory from the passage?

A.They succeeded in reaching the top of Mount Everest first.

B.They lost their lives in their attempt to conquer Mount Everest.

C.They were good friends of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

D.They died because they didn't return to their camp in time.

【3】What does the underlined word "immense" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Huge. B.Outside. C.Minimum. D.Limited.

【4】What will the present Everest climbers be likely to face compared with Norgay and Hillary?

A.More terrible loneliness.

B.More ideal weather conditions.

C.More deadly zones.

D.More dangerous stops.

25、My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea.

Throughout the years of changing_________, schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood—my mother. For both my brother and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while_________some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the _________which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. While she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother somehow managed to make each house the very home that is safe and _________.

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, _________ with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to __________ a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this __________ into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to __________ another part of the world. My mother__________each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a __________ to rearrange furniture, make curtains and hang pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I had the carriage on the train to myself up to Rohana, and then a girl got on. The couple seeing her off were probably her parents, they seemed very anxious about her comfort, and the woman gave the girl detailed instructions as to where to keep her things, when not to lean out of windows, and how to avoid speaking to strangers.

As I had become blind by then, I could not tell what the girl looked like, but I knew she wore slippers from the way they slapped against her heels.

“Are you going all the way to Dehra Dun?” I asked her as the train pulled out of the station.

I must have been sitting in a dark comer, perhaps because my voice amazed her. She gave a little scream, and said, “I didn’t know anyone else was here.”

“I didn’t see you either at first,’’ I said. “But I heard you come in.” I wondered if I would be able to prevent her from discovering that I couldn’t see. I thought, provided I kept to my seat, it shouldn’t be too difficult.

“I’m getting down at Saharanpur,’’ the girl said. “Where are you going?”

“To Dehra Dun, and then to Mussoorie,” I replied.

“Oh, lucky you! I wish I were going to Mussoorie. I love the mountains, especially in October.”

“Yes, this is the best time.” I said, calling on my memories when I could see. “The hills are covered with wild flowers, the sun is delicious, and at night you can sit in front of a log fire and drink a little brandy.”

Most of the tourists have gone, and for a while we sat in silence.

She was silent, and I wondered if my words had touched her. “What is it like outside?” I asked. But I made a mistake. Had she noticed already that I could not see?

“Why don’t you look out of the window?” she asked quite naturally.
