When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year，I don't usually know how to reply. Of course I，as most people do，want to see an improvement in my grades. This year，however，I'm hoping for something different.
Through the course of my school life，I've gradually developed a new understanding of the word "prioritization（优先次序）".The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester，and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions，everything should be set up in a way that doesn't influence my health，which leads me to my second goal.
My mother has always told me to put my health first，so in the future，I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can't study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic，they must put their health first，no matter how busy they are，or how much work they have to complete.
And finally，I hope that I won't be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I'll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another's likes and dislikes，and focus on each other's strengths，not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life's opportunities.
Albert Einstein once said，“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance，you must keep moving.” In my case，it's the other way around. In order to keep moving，I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities，efficiency and procrastination （拖延症），academics and health，passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one，but if I set these goals，I believe I will make it through to the end.
24. During Senior One，what does the writer want to do first？ ______
A. Focus on improving her overall grades.
B. Join as many school clubs as possible.
C. Learn how to manage her time well.
D. Spend more time on outdoor activities.
25. What is the attitude of the writer towards failure？ ______
A. Discouraged. B. Brave. C. Worried. D. Careful.
26. What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean？ ______
A. It is the opposite. B. It is difficult.
C. It is necessary. D. It is helpful.
27. What is the writer's purpose of the passage？ ______
A. To share her goals for the coming school year.
B. To stress the importance of health to students.
C. To show what she likes about high school life.
D. To explain how to balance studies and activities.
C
At Beijing's Palace Museum，it sometimes seems that time stands still，but the clocks keep ticking at a small workshop there. This is where clock conservator （文物修复员） Qi Haonan works. .
As part of the fourth generation of conservators to repair and restore（修复） antique （古老的） clocks at the museum since 1949，Qi has returned more than 100 clocks to their former glory.
After having majored in mechanical automation during his university studies，Qi joined the cultural relics restoration department at the Palace Museum in 2005. “In the beginning，everything in the palace was new to me. It made me excited to even think about repairing antique clocks，” the 41-year-old told China Daily. But reality soon weakened his warmth. There is a rule at the museum：For the first year you can look，but not touch. From 8 a.m.to5 p.m. every day，he checked and took apart watches and clocks collected from his friends to practice. After a year of repeated work，he could finally get his hands on the clocks in the museum and get a better understanding of the job. To him，restoring such clocks doesn't mean making them look brand-new. Through cleaning and restoration，he tries to keep them in their original form，bringing back their former function.
Qi still remembered the excitement he felt when the hands of his first repaired clock began to move. It was a French clock，which took him a month to restore. “What amazes me most about these clocks is that they combine the scientific advances，technological precision （精确） and trends in decorative art of their particular times，” Qi told China Daily.
Although the antique clock repairing special skills at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible （非物质的） cultural heritage in 2014，it was still a little-known skill and the specialty was in short supply of professionals. Until 2016，a 3-part TV documentary，Masters in the Forbidden City，made it possible to the public.
Qi started posting videos about the antique clocks on social media in 2019，giving viewers a look into the work. “With rising attention and influence，antique clock restoration can not only be further developed，but also expanded to more museums which house antique clocks and watches，” Qi told China Daily.
28. What can be known about the clock conservator Qi Haonan？ ______
A. He began to work at the Palace Museum in 1949.
B. He learned how to restore antique clocks at university.
C. He has decided to rescue the cultural relics restoration.
D. He is part of the fourth generation of clock conservators.
29. Why did Qi Haonan lose a bit of warmth at the beginning of his work？ ______
A. He couldn't touch the antique clocks.
B. He was asked to do much repeated work.
C. He had to collect clocks from his friends.
D. He didn't understand the meaning of restoration.
30. What does restoring antique clocks mean to Qi Haonan？ ______
A. Keeping them clean and brand-new.
B. Making them more beautiful and valuable than ever.
C. Getting them back to their original form and function.
D. Combining scientific advances and technological precision.
31. Which word can best describe the future of antique clock restoration？ ______
A. Worrying. B. Uncertain. C. Hopeless. D. Promising.
D
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced. After all，it's part of human life. But no question，the experience can be destructive.
However，research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate （激活） empathy （共鸣） and the desire to connect with others—both ways through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and improve your condition from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music can activate feelings of empathy，sympathy，and a desire for positive connection with others. That，itself，is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the loss of yourself，and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment，from the University of Kent，found that when people were experiencing sadness，listening to music that was "beautiful but sad" strengthened their mood. In fact，it did so when the person first consciously had their awareness of the situation causing their sadness，and then began listening to the sad music. That is，when they intended that the sad music might help，they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show facing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—leads to healing and growth beyond it. In short，admitting your full experience arouses hope. For example，research from Cornell University，found that admitting discomfort about a life experience or new situation，and viewing it as a step towards growth and change，leads to motivation to find a pathway through it，beyond it. As Churchill famously said，"If you're going through hell，keep going." That discomfort points you towards creating a plan，a new action. It fuels hope.
32. What can we learn from the study from Germany？ ______
A. Listening to sad music can cure people of heartache.
B. Realizing their sadness，people may willingly listen to sad music.
C. Embracing sadness，people can have a better future.
D. Listening to sad music can motivate people to connect with others.
33. Which of the following best illustrates the course of the psychologically healing of sadness？ ______
A. accept→ activate→ connect→ grow
B. activate→ connect→ accept→ grow
C. connect→ accept→ activate→ grow
D. connect→ activate→ accept→ grow
34. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 possibly mean？ ______
A. Walk alongside discomfort.
B. Sadness stops you from growing.
C. Say no to those challenge you.
D. Difficulties will not always stay with you.
35. What is a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Listening to music makes you happy.
B. Facing sadness bravely brings about hope.
C. Sad music can help people through.
D. Music helps people accept sad reality.
三、阅读七选五（本大题共1小题，共12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue You couldn't remember the name of the movie a friend recommended What is going on here Is your memory failing
It's not. (36) Despite memory's extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people's names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. (37) Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So, what determines what we remember and what we forget
(38) Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you're exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus (刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. (39) Why does this happen The tip of the tongue can occur when there's only partial or weak activation (激活)of the nerve cells that connect to the word you're looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don't know why you're there, you're not going crazy or getting Alzheimer's disease, and your memory isn't terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. (40)
A. One necessary factor is attention.
B. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D. Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn't.
E. You're trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F. It will instantly deliver（传输） what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G. Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.
