Section B: Multiple-Choice Comprehension

Read the following extract about a young man's relationship with his grandfather and answer the questions. (2 marks each)

（节选）爷爷的房间总是弥漫着一股淡淡的墨香。他并不强求我学习书法，但每当我看到他面对宣纸时那份专注与从容，心中便生出一种莫名的敬意。在那个快节奏的时代，爷爷像是一座孤岛，守护着一种近乎固执的传统。起初，我认为这种坚持在现代社会显得格格不入，但随着年龄增长，我意识到那种在喧嚣中保持定力的能力，才是最稀缺的财富。

  1. 文中将爷爷比作“一座孤岛”，这意味着什么？ (1) 爷爷性格孤僻，不愿与他人交流 (2) 爷爷的生活环境偏僻，远离闹市 (3) 爷爷在现代社会中坚守着独特的传统 (4) 爷爷感到孤独，渴望有人陪伴

Section C: Open-Ended Comprehension

Read the passage about "The Art of Forgiveness" and answer the questions. (Marks as indicated)

（节选）谅解是一道连接老少两代的桥梁。在很多家庭中，长辈习惯于用权威定义正确，而晚辈则倾向于用个性和自由来反抗。这种冲突往往源于双方都试图在对方身上寻找自己的影子，却忽略了彼此是独立的个体。当一个人能够放下心中的成见，承认对方的局限性时，谅解便产生了。这种谅解并非单方面的妥协，而是一种双向的成长。它要求我们走出舒适区，用共情代替评判。

  1. 为什么作者说“谅解是一道连接老少两代的桥梁”？ (2 marks)

  2. 根据文章，家庭冲突的主要原因是什么？ (2 marks)

  3. “放下心中的成见”在文中具体指什么？ (2 marks)

  5. 文中提到的“用共情代替评判”应该如何理解？ (2 marks)

Read the following passage about "Urban Greenery" and answer the questions.
