Passage 1

【2024 新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture ( 针

灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his

coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a

small but growing number of American veterinarians ( 兽医 ) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining

traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.

Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became

interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing

drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he

improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So,

after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.

Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she

was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to

keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more

easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.

Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication,

he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from

30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal.

That’s my job.”

24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?

A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude.

25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?

A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.

C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.

26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.

C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.

27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?

A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance.

C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection.

Passage 2

【2024 北京卷】When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at

home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped

individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.

In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since. I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the

art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low

grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.

But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions

often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made

painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it.

Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil

painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.

One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and

told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back

something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints.

Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I

now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-

anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.

Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much.

That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.

24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam?

A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged.

25. In her 30s, the author _________.

A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career

C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings

26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream?

A. Confusing. B. Empowering.

C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining.

27. What can we learn from this passage?

A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success.

C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident.

Passage 3

【2024 浙江 1月卷】When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone

call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago

right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose

was…2006. I was conducting auditions ( 试演 ) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to

impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit

candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.

As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked

outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory

Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time

to get back in before the actors arrived.

As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public

telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by

can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.

For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be

stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous

books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to

experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great

books!

If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect

me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.

4. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?

A. The play. B. The shared house.

C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.

5. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?

A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.

C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition.
