Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist (小說家）known for his best-selling tales of romance (浪漫) and heartbreak.
Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career（運動生涯） and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In 1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels.
While working his day job, Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation (改編) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels.
Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a “romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister.
Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes（慈善事業）, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011.
24．What led Sparks to write his first novel
A．A scholarship B．His marriage C．An accident. D．His major.
25．What do we know about The Notebook
A．It arrived in cinemas in 2004. B．It was written by two authors.
C．It became a hit due to a report. D．It was Sparks’ nonfiction work.
26．Why isn’t Sparks a romance novelist
A．His stories have nothing to do with love. B．He prefers to record real events in lives.
C．His books never end with happiness. D．He pays attention to various themes.
27．Which words can best describe Sparks
A．Lucky and careful. B．Tough and caring. C．Honest and brave. D．Tolerant and calm.
C
Tourist industry has advantages and disadvantages. While it makes money for the local economy and creates jobs for locals, it also causes problems.
One growing problem is tourists who want to show that they have visited a destination（目的地）. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, and many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists. I have three words for people like this: please stop it. If you want to leave a mark, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction（破壞）.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打擾) the local people and life. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of locals without asking for their permission（允許）. For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies. Another example is Sanlitun, a neighbourhood in Beijing, China. Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate (體諒的). Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws… The only solution is to make sure that you are not a terrible tourist! Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist! Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders（邊界）, you are standing for your country to the rest of the world.
28．How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2
A．By providing examples. B．By making comparisons.
C．By following the order of time. D．By following the order of importance.
29．What can be known from paragraph 3
A．Locals should be more polite to tourists.
B．Tourists have no idea of their bad behaviors.
C．Some tourists’ improper behaviors disturb locals.
D．Universities are the main places troubled by tourists.
30．According to the passage, who is a responsible tourist
A．Lucy, who likes to walk in large groups, chatting and laughing loudly.
B．Tom, who always writes his name on the walls of the ancient temples.
C．Mike, who follows local traffic rules and is always polite to the local people.
D．Lily, who often takes photos of the local people without asking for permission.
31．What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To praise considerate tourists. B．To suggest a way to solve the problem.
C．To call on readers to love their countries. D．To introduce the importance of traveling.
D
Have you ever dreamed of packing things up and hitting the road
Molly and Jaren Garcia of the lifestyle blog We Plus Three did just that in 2023. They sold their three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Joshua, Texas, abandoned some of their belongings, and moved with their three children into an RV (recreational vehicle房車). Since then, the family has already traveled to 25 states.
The Garcias said they made the big life change because they wanted to be together as a family while Jaren Garcia, who was working in sales at the time, traveled for work.
Molly Garcia now gives lessons to their children at home by herself — Lillie, 13, Jaxton, 9, and Willow, 5, and creates content for the family’s blog and social media platforms. Jaren Garcia is in charge of driving and has changed his job.
The Garcias estimated that when they lived in a traditional house, they needed to spend approximately $3,000 per month. Now that they’ve moved to an RV, they cut their living costs down to about $1,000 per month. When it comes to keeping costs reasonable, Molly Garcia suggested buying a membership at Thousand Trails, whose members can park their RVs for two weeks for free.
“When you get into the RV life, if you bring a lot of weight into your RV, it’ll weigh it down,” Molly Garcia added. “You’ll spend more money on gas, and you might get rid of some useless stuff because there’s so much weight in your RV.”
“We don’t want to scare people away from this lifestyle,” she continued. “But you will get a lot more experiences, be able to travel and be on your own time.”
“We just want people to know that you can do it if you put your mind to it, like the biggest roadblock that you’re going to hit is the one that you have set up, so you can overcome it, ” Jaren Garcia added.
32．Why did the Garcias decide to move into a recreational vehicle
A．To travel around their country and the neighboring ones.
B．To make it convenient for the family to sell goods.
C．To ensure the family members can live together.
D．To attract more readers to their blogs.
33．Why did Molly Garcia advise buying a membership at Thousand Trails
A．To get much cheaper gas. B．To save a lot of parking fees.
C．To pay less money to use roads or bridges. D．To spend less on their vehicle maintenance.
34．What are the benefits of living in an RV
①Having a flexible schedule ②Owning larger living space ③Spending less money per month
④Receiving medical services easily ⑤Gaining a lot of valuable experiences
A．①③④ B．①③⑤ C．③④⑤ D．②③④
35．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Giving lessons to their kids at home. B．Having a relaxing lifestyle.
C．Creating content for their blogs. D．Enjoying living in an RV.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community.The concept was great, but none of us had any idea what to do.
"Maybe we could have food delivered to the homeless,”John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times,"answered Brian with a frown.
Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak, “Why don't we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on ”Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue（線索） what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive（不明確的）.
On Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner.Sensing my uneasiness（不自在）, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. "Well... it...”I let out a long breath. "Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don't know what to do...”
“Hmm,"my dad thought out loud, “there's a seniors' home I've worked with close to St. Joseph's Hospital. The residents don't get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular （絢麗的） New Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work.

Should We Help Strangers
Recently our class had a discussion about whether we should help strangers. Different students have different opinions.
Some think we should try to help strangers.Helping others is a virtue, and helping others is helping ourselves.We may come across some trouble and need others' help some day. If nobody is willing to help us just because we are strangers to them, it's hard to imagine what our world will be like. However, some are afraid that helping others can bring us trouble.Sometimes we are just misunderstood.In my opinion, we should try our best to help others in need, but we should also protect ourselves from getting into trouble. If everyone shows a little kindness, our world will be full of love.

Next Sunday evening, our youth group met. My fellows put forward several suggestions and I also contributed Dad's idea for discussion. To my pleasant surprise, the New Year lights tour won their hearts We called the seniors' home and they were thrilled about our proposal. The following weeks, we were busy preparing everything for the tour, including the bus to drive the seniors along the planned route.
On New Year's Day, the bus we rented arrived at the seniors' home in the snow. Despite the cold, the snow added a magical white blanket to the neighborhood. All residents slowly found seats on the bus and the tour began.The spectacular light displays lit up their faces and I even saw some eyes filling up.Returning to the seniors' home, they couldn't stop talking about all they'd seen and thanked us again and again. Looking at their excited and grateful faces, we felt so warm. What we had done was worthwhile.

1．W: Congratulations, Leon! You’re chosen as a host in our school’s broadcasting station. Will you be paid each month
M: No, but I can get two credits this term. In fact, I want to gain some practical experience from it.
2 M: Hey, Maggie. Eggs are still in the frying pan. They’re going to be burnt.
W: Oops, I totally forgot that. Can you turn off the gas I’m busy with these dirty clothes.
3．W: I’m thinking of getting a special pet, not a dog or a cat. They’re so common.
M: How about a turtle It’s quiet and easy to keep.
W: OK, I’ll feed one.
4．M: That phone ringing all the time is driving me mad! There must be something wrong.
W: Let me check it. Believe me. Okay, it’s fixed. Here you are.
M: Bravo! You’re such an expert!
5.W: It’s the first time I’ve visited our next door. Honey, you know what I’m shocked by the old furniture in Sophie’s room. She tells me her grandpa gave it to her.
M: Really It could be worth a fortune. We should also leave something to our future grandchildren.
6．M: If this blouse doesn’t fit my wife, may I return it
W: Certainly. You’ll receive a full refund within 7 days if it’s not damaged by human error. And you must show your receipt.
M: Oh, I see. But what if I just want to get it exchanged
W: You may change it for the goods at the same or a lower price within 14 days.
M: Okay, I’ll take it. Can I pay it by credit card
W: I guess it’s OK. But you should make it clear to the cashier.
8．W: Excuse me, sir. Which bus should I take if I go to Central Park
M: The No. 3 is heading in that direction. But you’ll wait at least 20 minutes for it in the rush hour.
W: That’s too long. I think I’d call a taxi.
M: Maybe it’s not a good idea, either. Taking a taxi is not worth it. It’ll take you 25 minutes there. There seems to be a traffic jam. Why not walk to the park You can go straight from the opposite museum, and when you see a large parking lot, you’re almost there. That’ll take nearly 30 minutes.
W: You’re right. Although a 30-minute walk is tiring, it’s the best option for now.
M: Exactly.
W: Thank you very much.
11．M: Good morning, Ms. Thomas. Can I have a talk with you
W: Yes, Eric. Come in please.
M: I’ve made a tough decision. I have to give up my job now.
W: It comes as a bit of surprise. Why do you want to leave

W: But you can visit them more often during the holidays. What about I permit you 10 more days off each year Or I can help you apply for a pay rise. Plus, you’ll get a golden handshake if you can work in our American branch for at least 5 years. Do you want to go there I truly appreciate your work.
M: Thank you, Ms. Thomas. But I’ve already made up my mind.
W: Well, I feel sorry about it.
14．W: Colin, you got the highest score on the English exam again. How I envy you!
M: You did make progress this time, especially in reading and writing parts.
W: But I’m still dissatisfied with my spoken English. It’s my biggest problem.
M: Cheer up, Tina. Let me help you find the right way to learn English. When you’re studying a language, the keyword is patience. It’s of the greatest importance, because nobody can master a language all at once.
W: Oh, yeah. But what am I supposed to do Find some foreign friends or go abroad to learn it
M: Not exactly. You can just make full use of every morning to practice English.
W: Should I get up earlier every day
M: You don’t have to do so. Actually, there are indeed many chances in the morning that you can grasp to learn English. For example, you can listen to English news while you are dressing and washing. At the same time, you can imitate and speak English loudly. You need to take every opportunity to learn.
W: Practice makes perfect, right
M: You said it.
17 A new era of AI (artificial intelligence) is coming. AI has made its way into a variety of industries, which benefits both businesses and consumers. More and more companies have used it in their products, such as AlphaGo, self-driving, facial recognition, online assistants and so on. Generally, there are two types of AI: weak AI and strong AI. Weak AI is an AI system that is designed and trained to complete a specific task. For example, Apple’s Siri can answer people’s simple questions and obey a programmed order. But it can’t work without humans. Strong AI differs from weak AI in this part most. Strong AI can solve problems and find solutions without humans, such as the self-driving car. It can control a vehicle without human involvement, and avoid unexpected obstacles, such as passersby. As a whole, AI can make human life easy and convenient, and many experts believe the future of AI is bright. But it is expensive and requires complex systems to operate. There are still many problems to solve, such as …

33．細節理解題。根據第五段中“When it comes to keeping costs reasonable, Molly Garcia suggested buying a membership at Thousand Trails, whose members can park their RVs for two weeks for free.(在控制成本方面，Molly Garcia建議購買Thousand Trails的會員資格，該會員可以免費停放房車兩周)”可知，Molly Garcia建議購買Thousand Trails的會員資格是為了節省大量停車費。故選B項。
34．細節理解題。根據第五段中“The Garcias estimated that when they lived in a traditional house, they needed to spend approximately $3,000 per month. Now that they’ve moved to an RV, they cut their living costs down to about $1,000 per month.(Garcia一家估計，他們住在傳統房子里時，每月大約需要花費3000美元。現在他們搬進了房車，每月的生活成本降到了大約1000美元)”可知，住在房車里每月花費更少；根據倒數第二段中“But you will get a lot more experiences, be able to travel and be on your own time.(但你會獲得更多的體驗，能夠去旅行，并且可以按照自己的時間安排)”可知，住在房車里能有靈活的日程安排，還能獲得很多寶貴的經驗。而文中未提及住在房車里有更大的居住空間和能輕松獲得醫療服務。所以①③⑤是住在房車的好處。故選B項。
35．詞句猜測題。根據上文內容可知，文章主要圍繞Garcia一家享受房車生活展開，再結合最后一段中“We just want people to know that you can do it if you put your mind to it(我們只是想讓人們知道，只要你下定決心，你就能做到它)”可推知，“it”指的是上文中講的“享受房車生活”。故選D項。
