It was nt just that it was the end f a wnderful hliday; it was nt just that he invariably suffered badly frm jet lag(時(shí)差); it was that Mnday mrning always began with a team meeting and , ver the mnths, he had grwn t hate them.
Martin was aware that clleagues apprached these meetings with hidden agenda（會(huì)議議程）; they indulged in(沉溺于）game playing ; and he knew that peple were nt being hnest and pen. The meetings themselves were bad enugh---there was all the maning afterwards at the meeting like “I culd have imprved n that idea, but I wasn’t ging t say.”
As this mrning’s meeting began, Martin prepared himself fr the usual dullness and bredm. But, as the meeting prgressed, he became aware f a strange backgrund nise. At first, he thught that he was still hearing the engine nise frm the aircraft that had brught him back t Lndn. But as he cncentrated n the nise, it became a little clearer.
He realized, t his amazement, that he culd actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even mre than the acquisitin f this strange pwer, was that he discvered that what peple were saying was nt really what they were thinking. They were nt making clear their reservatins. They were nt supprting views which they thught might be ppular. They were nt cntributing their new insights. They were nt vlunteering their new ideas.
Martin fund it impssible nt t respnd t his new knwledge. S he started t make gentle interventins (干涉), based mre n what he culd hear his clleagues thinking than n what he culd hear them saying. “S, Jhn, are yu really ” “Susan, d yu really think that?” “Tm, have yu gt an idea n hw we culd take this frward?” They lked at him, puzzled. In truth, he felt rather prud f his newly -acquired talent.
As the meeting prgressed, it was clear t him that each member f the meeting was learning hw t hear the thughts f the thers. The game playing started t fall away; peple started t speak mre directly; views became better understd; the atmsphere became mre pen and trusting.
The meeting ended. As peple left the rm, Martin fund that he culd still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.” “All meetings shuld be like that,” “ In future, I’m ging t say what I think.”

We wuld arrive at sme faraway destinatin, usually a car park with a field attached next t a plant, and unpack tasteless and sandwiches, nearly cld sausage rlls and disgusting salads. There were never any tilets, s we had t “g” behind a bush; the memry f being discvered by a randm dg-walker still embarrasses me frm time t time.

There was fresh bread, lives, even candles t keep away insects, music, and wine. It was cmpletely delightful.

（2023·天津和平·統(tǒng)考二模）I have ne f thse names that are hard t prnunce, s I never liked the first day f schl.

Befre they wuld even finish, I wuld put up my hand and say, “That’s me. Just call me Sanj.”
Sanj is shrt fr Sanjukta. It’s an Indian name derived frm Sanskrit and it means “united”. Wrds are pwerful and s are names. I like my name. It means mre than diversity; it means cnnectin.
When strangers see my name, I can tell that they are trying t figure ut where I am frm. Sme ask me what type f name it is and I knw that what they really want t ask is “Where are yu frm?”
Grwing up, I answered that I am Canadian. I didn’t want t stand ut as the Indian kid. I used t think it was implite t ask smene where they are frm — it may make smene feel like an utsider. But ver time, I understand mst peple are just curius and want t make a cnnectin. Nw when smene asks me where I am frm, I als ask them where they are frm. The cnversatin gets interesting when this happens.
Recently, I was at a dinner where mst f the guests had never met each ther. At first, peple asked abut where thers wrked and lived. Then peple asked abut kids and dgs. Peple started feeling a lt mre cmfrtable with each ther, s I asked everyne where they are frm. This is when the cnversatin really gt lively.

A cuple f Indian wmen at the table cnvinced her t check ut an Indian clthing stre and shwed her a traditinal Indian utfit that wuld lk great n her. All f a sudden, all the talk abut where we came frm united us.
United. That is what my name means. When I intrduce myself t peple, I say, “My name is Sanj. It’s shrt fr Sanjukta.” Then I tell them that is Indian and what it means. And just like that, the meaning f my name makes peple united.

But the panic that filled my shcked heart in that awful mment was fr the nine cats that shared my hme after being rescued frm abandnment.

Was it my mind playing tricks again? Mre than nce I had heard, seen r felt the brush f ne f my departed furry rmmates. The mew grew luder. Curius, I pened the dr.

That night, as I slid between the sheets f the bed in the still unfamiliar apartment, the energetic little fur ball jumped nt the bed yawned dramatically, and nestled by my side.
That was the first night since the fire that I actually slept. Needless t say, the cat cmmunity knew the precise treatment fr healing far better than I. The name Starlight (Star fr shrt) just ccurred t me because that night he brught sme light back int my life.
In the five years since the fire, we have been thrugh a lt, Starlight and I. We returned t the huse, managed t keep the business alive, brught the mystery nvel t the final edits befre it’s submitted in the hpe f publicatin. Star helped me thrugh a massive, yet untraditinal, healing f spirit. The memries f the kitties that passed away in the fire nw spark nly warmth in my heart and win sme smiles. Every single day.

（2023·天津?yàn)I海新·統(tǒng)考三模）Once, during my summer hlidays, my father was sick, but he wrked in the rice field just the same, because there was s much t d. As I lked at his thin figure, crawling (緩慢移動(dòng)) ahead f me, I thught f my wn depressing future. I was tied t the land by jb after backbreaking jb, unlike ther bys wh had freedm t pursue happiness. Why were there peple in the wrld wh wuld never knw what it was like t til (苦干), and thers, like me, wh had been tiling ever since they were small bys, seasn after seasn, year after year? Why were sme peple sitting befre electric fans r in air-cnditined rms, while I was ut f breath and sweating under the blazing sun? Why was there mud and mre mud in frnt f me?
Only we farmers were willing t crawl, t assume the lwliest f psitins in rder t have a better harvest. Even a hrse, when wrking fr man, stands tall. I was suddenly cnsumed with great pity and great respect fr pr farmers, and the fcus f my attentin began t extend beynd myself and my family. This was an imprtant turning pint in my life.
While resting beside a field ne day, my brthers and I reslved t pursue useful knwledge and technlgy t help urselves and ther farmers imprve ur circumstances, and lighten ur burden f labur. This reslve gave me strength s that when I went t university, lighten ur burden f labur. This reslve gave me strength s that when I went t university, and later t the US n a schlarship, my spirit rse abve persnal hardships. Crawling in the mud had taught me t lake bleeding and sweating as part f my life, and nt t be afraid in the face f difficulties. But what was mre imprtant was that I had learned the meaning f “Yu reap what yu sw”.
Mther used t say, “Judge a man nt by his face, but by his fields.” I appreciate mre and mre the meaning f these wrds. The land is dependable, as lng as yu are willing t til n it. When the wind blew and the green rice plants mved like waves in a sea, stunningly beautiful, a deep sense f satisfactin swelled up (充滿(mǎn)) in me.
I labured hard in the simple, islated cuntryside f my hme, and I am prud f this. Althugh later I went int academic research, I shall always remember what wrking in the rice fields taught me: plant yur feet firmly n the grund, wrk hard and yu will be rewarded.

But they are als a majr surce f pllutin. It can take hundreds f years fr plastic bags t break dwn. As they d, tiny pieces can pisn sil, lakes, rivers and ceans. Therefre, envirnmental experts urge peple t reuse and recycle plastic bags.
Maryland artist Allita Irby des just that. It starts with the mrning newspaper. What is mre imprtant is getting that plastic bag the paper cmes in. The mixed media artist recgnized its rich pssibilities abut three year ag. “As I was taking the newspaper ut, I felt the texture f these bags. They were sft. I just lked dwn and realized it wuld take three t make a braid (辮子).” Since then, Irby has been using plastic bags t create abstract lines in her art wrks.
Befre incrprating plastic bags in her wrks, Irby used natural materials like feathers, leather and dried plants. All thse elements represent her Native American ancestry (血統(tǒng)) and identity, like ne f her wrks called “Navah Bundles”.
Ms. Irby’s neighbrs praised her ability t turn waste int treasure. Sme, like Charltte Hgan, asked the artist t teach them hw t create art using the used plastic bags. “I think it is fascinating, and it is wnderful. I d plan t share it with my senirs at my church.” One f Irby’s neighbrs Aleta Meyer expressed her surprise, “I have never given any mre thught t what t d with a plastic bag. This is definitely different.”
Shirley Watts als lives in the neighbrhd. She plans t shw thers her art. “I want t make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it up n my wall and then I knw that I did it.”
“Making art with fund materials is nt a new idea. Anyne can d it. Recycled paper, clth and metal gds can becme beautiful pictures and sculptures,” Allita Irby said, “I think we are all artists really, and there is beauty all arund us.” The artist als said that all yu had t d was pen yur eyes and bring the utside in.

6．主旨大意題。由第一段中的“Brian Hamiltn used t ccupy himself with a six-figure jb, but his life changed in a prisn when he was accmpanying his friend, Reverend Rbert J. Harris, wh ften went t lcal prisns t d his wrk. (布萊恩·漢密爾頓曾經(jīng)忙于一份六位數(shù)的工作，但當(dāng)他陪伴他的朋友羅伯特·J·哈里斯牧師時(shí)，他的生活在監(jiān)獄里發(fā)生了變化，哈里斯牧師經(jīng)常去當(dāng)?shù)乇O(jiān)獄工作)”可知，第一段主要講漢密爾頓參觀(guān)監(jiān)獄后，他的生活發(fā)生了變化。故選C項(xiàng)。
7．推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段““Nw, anyne is able t access the curse, either t becme a teacher t g int prisns t teach it r t access it fr themselves as a prisner r part f the general ppulatin,” Hamiltn explains. In additin, he visits middle schls and presents the curse t at-risk students t lead the s-called bad students t the right path.

8．推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段中的“In additin, he visits middle schls and presents the curse t at-risk students t lead the s-called bad students t the right path. (此外，他還參觀(guān)了中學(xué)，并向有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的學(xué)生介紹課程，以引導(dǎo)所謂的壞學(xué)生走上正確的道路)”可知，漢密爾頓試圖提前預(yù)防可能發(fā)生的犯罪。故選B項(xiàng)。
9．推理判斷題。由第二段中的“Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial cnversatin, Hamiltn created Inmates t Entrepreneurs, a nnprfit rganizatin that helps peple with criminal backgrunds start their wn small businesses. (最后，在2008年，也就是最初的對(duì)話(huà)16年后，漢密爾頓創(chuàng)建了“Inmates t Entrepreneurs”，這是一個(gè)非營(yíng)利組織，幫助有犯罪背景的人創(chuàng)辦自己的小企業(yè))”和最后一段Hamiltn所說(shuō)的話(huà)的“If yu can make peple knw that ther peple care abut them, it will make a difference. (如果你能讓人們知道其他人關(guān)心他們，那就會(huì)有所不同)”可知，Hamiltn創(chuàng)建了非營(yíng)利組織“Inmates t Entrepreneurs”，幫助有犯罪背景的人創(chuàng)辦自己的小企業(yè)，認(rèn)為人們要去關(guān)懷囚犯，可得出漢密爾頓看重為他人提供關(guān)懷。故選A項(xiàng)。
10．主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，短文敘述了Brian Hamiltn成功創(chuàng)業(yè)的故事，Hamiltn創(chuàng)建了“Inmates t Entreprcneurs”這個(gè)組織，這是個(gè)幫助有犯罪背景的人創(chuàng)業(yè)的非營(yíng)利組織。與此同時(shí)Hamiltn還建立自己的公司Sagewrks。2018年他賣(mài)掉了Sagewrks的股份，一心投到“Inmates t Entrepreneurs”中來(lái)，去教犯人如何去創(chuàng)業(yè)。所以短文主要在講述一個(gè)男人賣(mài)了他的企業(yè)去教囚犯如何創(chuàng)業(yè)，B項(xiàng)“一個(gè)男人賣(mài)掉了自己的生意來(lái)教囚犯”符合文意。故選B項(xiàng)。
