At least that’s been the case for a grieving(悲痛的) mom and a dad in Tennessee whose 12-year-old daughter died on January 5. Just days after Taylor Smith’s death, her parents found a sealed envelope containing a letter Taylor had written to her 22-year-old self---and its sunny, wise-beyond-her years tone appears to be a comfort to her parents. “To be opened by Taylor Smith on April 13, 2023 only unless said otherwise.” Taylor had printed on the envelope of the letter. “Sorry, baby, we opened it,” her father, Tim, said before reading it aloud with a quavering voice. “Dear Taylor, how’s life? Life might be pretty simple in the past 10 years. I know I’m late for you, but as I’m writing this early, so: congratulations on graduating from high school! If you didn’t, go back and keep trying. Get that degree! Do you have your own place yet? If we are in college, what are we majoring(主修) in? Right now I wanna be a lawyer.” The last heartbreaking line reads, “Well, I think that’s all, but remember it’s been 10 years since I wrote this. Things have happened, good and bad. That’s just how life works, and you have to go with it.” Her father talks about his feelings of grief. “At the beginning I felt shocked and depressed, hoping that it’s not real, and hoping that every time I take a nap or go to sleep, I find out it wasn’t real,” he says. “She liked doing quirky things and she liked doing meaningful things. She always created stuff. The fact that she wrote this letter wasn’t surprise, but what she wrote was.” Tim Smith posted a message on his daughter’s Facebook page: “I just wanted to write this so that all of her friends would know that Taylor loved you all! Thanks for loving our daughter.” 24.Taylor Smith’s parents got great comfort when they .

Because Taylor said what would happen to her future life in advance C. Because Taylor imagined her future life D. Because what Taylor wrote in the letter was beyond her age C About tem men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman. There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades(阴影) of green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man sees everything in shades of green--a strange world indeed. Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones(圆锥细胞)”. These help us see in a bright day and tell the differences between colors. There are also millions of “rods(棒条体)”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape, but not color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible( 看 不 见 的 ) colors around us. 28. The passage is mainly about . A. color and its surprising effects on drivers B. women being luckier than man because fewer of them are color blind C. color blindness and how our eyes tell different colors and shapes D. danger caused by color blindness 29. According to the passage, with the help of “cones”, we can . A. see in a weak light B. tell different colors C. tell different shapes D. tell orange from yellow 30. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A. There are fewer color blind women B. Women are more careful C. Women are fonder of driving than men D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking 31. Which of the following statements about color blind people is true? A. None of them can see deep red but all can tell blue from green B. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color C. None of them can tell blue from green but all can see deep red D. All of them are lucky enough to see everything in shades of green D Today, we talk about a common object that appears in many expressions--buttons! Buttons, which are usually small and round and made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another in order to make sure your clothes don’t fall off. To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say this expression dates back to the late 1860s. Here is another expression related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving. When buttoning a button you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying, “Stop talking!” Button your lip is another equally rude but effective way to stop a person who talks too much. Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. They find a person’s weak point and then they use it to upset them. 32.What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office? A. Funny B. Fashionable C. Crazy D. Traditional 33.What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk? A. Be cute as a button B. Button your lip C. Push your buttons D. Be button-down 34.How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop? A. By making contrasts(对比) B. By giving examples C. By listing figures D. By analyzing cause and effect 35.What does the underlined phrase “pushes one’s buttons” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Learns of one’s secret B. Shouts loudly C. Gets someone to lose his temper D. Argues with someone 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Why do people travel? There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this. To travel far enough to meet yourself Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. 36 You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self. 37 If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories. To slow down and relax A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our finger. 38 The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy. 39 To celebrate life Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy. 40 A. Travelling lets you discover yourself B. To break through your comfort zone C. So, go travelling to celebrate life itself D. You can relate to the world and connect to others E. And the feeling of being away from your boos for a few days is pure pleasure F. Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money G. To become a storyteller 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） Cheating happens a lot in our city.
