篇
【语篇导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍看几本令人惊叹的书。
【21 题详解】细节理解题。根据 TheLastLecturebyRandyPausch 中的“Thisbook,which
takes readers on a journey of his ups and downs, is something everyone should
read at least once in their lifetime.(这本书带领读者踏上了他的起起落落之旅，是
每个人一生中至少应该读一次的书。)”可知，患癌症的教授 RandyPausch 写的
TheLastLecture 一书中描述了他的经历，也就是讲述了作者自己的故事。故选 A。
【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据 TheSilverChainbyJionSheibani中的
“Sixteen-year-old Azadeh seeks comfort in her violin playing while adjusting to
a new school, struggling with friendships, and facing problems at home. (16 岁的
阿扎德在适应新学校、为友谊而挣扎、面对家庭问题的同时，也在小提琴演奏中寻求安
慰。)”
和 TheSisterhoodoftheTravelingPantsbyAnnBrashares 中的“It is a delightful read
that shows independence, the true meaning of friendship and the challenges of
growingup.(这是一本令人愉快的读物，它展示了独立、友谊的真谛和成长的挑战。)”可
知，二者共同聚焦的是成长与友谊。故选 B。
【23题详解】推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章介绍了几本不同的书，并对书的内容亮点
进行了阐述，目的很可能是给寻求鼓舞人心读物推荐的读者提供参考，而不是针对痴迷冒险
小说的、对青少年相关书籍感兴趣的或者计划文学主题环球旅行的读者。故选 C。
阅读理解 B 篇
【语篇导语】 本文讲述 Gelinne目睹飞机坠入冰河后，与儿子用皮划艇展开救援的故事。
面对冰层脆弱、工具不足等挑战，他冷静应对，幽默安抚飞行员，最终在警方协助下成功救
人。文章突出其果敢、机智与幽默，传递人性光辉。
试题解析：
【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees,
Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation,
he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将
降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑
到水边，所以推知是担心的。故选 B
【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的 The kayaks paddles(桨) proved too weak,
so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left
themspinningincircles.Butwitheffort,theymadeprogress.WhenGelinnereached the
plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water.（皮划艇
的桨太弱了，所以两人试着用棍子推动小船。他们的第一次尝试让他们在原地打转。但是
经过努力，他们取得了进步。当杰琳娜到达飞机时，飞行员正站在尾翼上，周围是开阔的
水域。）可知，落水飞行员站在飞机尾翼上，但是 Gelinne 父子很 难接近他。由此可知救
助过程比预想的要困难。 故选 D
【26 题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“Withhissonnearby,Gelinnefocusedonkeeping
thepilotcalm,joking, “Justhangontothekayakasifyouwerehuggingyourwife.” The
pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the
shelfofunbrokenice.ButeachtimeGelinnetried,thekayakbrokethroughtheice.
He needed help.(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像
拥抱你的妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”领航员抓住皮艇的船头。Gelinne知道他必须把飞行
员弄到没有破冰的架子上。但每次杰琳尝试，皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助)”故选 C。
【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees,
Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation,
he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将
降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑
到水边去救人，所以他是热于助人的，以及第五段“Withhissonnearby,Gelinnefocused
onkeepingthepilotcalm,joking, “Justhangontothekayakasifyouwerehugging your
wife.”(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像拥抱你的
妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”)”可推知 Gelinne 是个幽默的人，所以 Gelinne 是乐于助人
又幽默的。故选 A。
阅读理解 C 篇
【语篇导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨小说体裁的发展，尤其是 20世纪小说的地
位变化。小说在 20世纪因反映现实而备受关注，被视为 “体裁之王” 。如今小说在文化
讨论中地位下降，而许多 19世纪小说借改编重获生机 ，显示出媒体能赋予小说新生命。
【28 题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Amongallgenres,thenovelreceivedthemost
criticalattentioninthetwentiethcentury,oftenpraisedasthe “kingofgenres” due to
its reflection on the real world.(在所有的文学体裁中，小说在 20世纪受到了最多的
评论界关注，常常因其对现实世界的反映而被誉为“体裁之王”)”可知，小说在二十世纪
获得了认可是因为它反映了与现实的联系。故选 A。
【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank,
Stranger
ThanFiction, he raises an appealing question: is there such a thing as a
“twentieth-centurynovel” Isitmeaningfultodistinguishthetwentieth-century
novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor — or even from the novel of the
twenty-first century Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates how the
twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth
century was a period of violent change; therefore, violent change is what the
twentieth-century novel reflects — not, or not only, in its subject matter but
in its form. Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it
shows the cultural relevance to development of societies.(最近，在埃德温 弗兰克
的 StrangerThanFiction一书中，他提出了一个引人深思的问题：真的存在所谓的“20世
纪小说”吗？将 20 世纪的小说与它之前的 19 世纪小说区分开来，甚至与 21 世纪的小说区
分开来，这样做有意义吗？弗兰克认为是有意义的。在他的书中，他阐述了 20 世纪的小说
是如何发展成熟，成为一种独特的文学体裁的。20 世纪是一个发生剧烈变革的时期；因此，
剧烈的变革正是 20 世纪小说所反映的内容——这种反映不仅（或者说不只是）体现在小说
的主题上，还体现在其形式上。弗兰克指出，尽管 20 世纪的小说具有现代性，但它也显示
出与社会发展的文化关联性)”可知，StrangerThanFiction阐述了二十世纪小说如何发展
成为一种独特的文学体裁，且它还反应了二十世纪的社会动荡，即与社会文化相关，这是
社会背景造成的，是它的独特性，由此可推知，StrangerThanFiction 关注的是二十世纪
小说的发展和其独特性。故选 D。
【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Frank suggests that, modern as the
twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to development of
societies.(弗兰克指出，尽管 20世纪的小说具有现代性，但它也显示出与社会发展的文化
关联性)”和第四段中“Today,thenovelnolongerholdsacentralplaceinthecultural
conversation.(今天，小说在文化对话中已不再占据中心地位)”可知，二十世纪的小说展
现的是文化与社会发展的相关性，但是如今，小说与文化的关联已经不再占据中心地位，这
说明，二者之间的关联性已经减弱，划线单词意为“减弱”。故选 B。
【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many nineteenth-century novels gain
vitalityinthetwentiethcenturythroughfilmadaptations.HenryJames,forexample, would
likely be pleased to know that ThePortraitofaLadyhas been adapted into a BBC
miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version — each reaching
afarlargeraudiencethantheoriginalprint editioncould everhavehoped for.(许多 19世
纪的小说通过改编成电影在 20 世纪焕发出了生机。例如，亨利 詹姆斯若是知道《贵妇画像》
已经被改编成了一部英国广播公司（BBC）的迷你剧、一部故事片，甚至还有一个电视版本，
他很可能会感到高兴——每一个改编版本所触及的观众群体都远比原著印刷版所能期望的要
庞大得多)”可推知，《贵妇画像》的例子表明媒体为小说注入了生命。故选 C。阅读理解 D
篇
【语篇导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了蚂蚁如何通过释放信息素和使用触角进行交
流，以及科学家对此的研究。
【32 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Ants communicate by releasing pheromones (信息素) that
function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching
their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other.(蚂蚁通过释放体外起作用的信息素来向接收
信息的蚂蚁发送化学信息，并通过触摸它们的触角来感觉和闻对方的味道进行交流。)”可
知，蚂蚁通过触角识别信息素来交流。故选 D。
【33 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The result of these pheromone paths is long lines of ants,
marching one behind each other to collect food.(这些信息素路径的结果是长长的蚂蚁队伍，它
们一个接一个地行进去收集食物。)”可知，信息素轨迹的功能是帮助同伴找到食物来源。
故选 B。
【34 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about
their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form collective memories and sound
alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators.(研究人员对蚂蚁的研究越多，他们就越能发现
蚂蚁相互传递信息、学习、形成集体记忆和发出警报的能力。蚂蚁真是令人惊叹的交流
者。)” 可推知，蚂蚁交流的更多秘密仍然未知。故选 D。
【35 题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了蚂蚁如何通过释放信息素和使用触角进行交
流，以及科学家对此的研究，所以选项 C“对蚂蚁交流的洞察”可以作为本文的最佳标
题。故选
C。
七选五
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. E 39. B 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了可持续旅游（或生态旅游）的重要性，提出了一
些实践可持续旅游的方法。
【36 题详解】
根据上文“This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing.(通过
提倡可持续度假，可以减少这种污染。)”和下文“When it comes to ecotourism, your
inspiration for others to take action is equally important.(说到生态旅游，你激励他人采取行动同
样重要。)”可知，本段主要讲述生态旅游或可持续旅游的重要性。选项 G“生态旅游和可
持续旅游这两个术语经常可以互换使用”能够承上启下，既提到了上文中的 sustainable
vacationing，也引出了下文中的 ecotourism。故选 G。
【37 题详解】
根据下文“If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them.(如果公园禁止喂养野
生动物，就不要喂养它们。)”可知，本段主要讲述要遵守规定，保护野生动物。选项
D“关心自然和野生动物的最好方法就是遵守规则”能够概括本段主旨。故选 D。
【38 题详解】
根据上文“When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some
practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife.(当你访问这些当地社区时，你可
能会发现他们参与了一些可能对生态系统或野生动物不友好的做法。)”和下文“Trying to
listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.(试着
倾听并与社区互动，比为批评打开更多带来改变的大门。)”可知，此处内容应与学习当地
社区的做法有关，选项 E“不要妄加批评，而是花时间去学习他们的做法”符合语境。故
选 E。
【39 题详解】
根据上文“Most people are not sustainability conscious.(大多数人没有可持续意识。)”和下文
“We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas.(我们有很多方法可以实
现可持续发展，其中之一就是分享你的想法。)”可知，本段主要讲述大多数人没有可持续
意识的原因，以及实现可持续发展的方法。选项 B“这是因为他们认为这是无法实现的”
能够承接上文，并引出下文提出的实现可持续发展的方法。故选 B。
【40 题详解】
根据上文“At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce
negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality. (归根结底，可持续度假
不仅应该帮助你减少对环境的负面影响，还应该唤醒社会对这一现实的认识。)”和下文
“However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world. (然而，每一个小步骤都有
助于构建一个更可持续的世界。)”可知，此处存在一个转折关系，选项 A“在这个问题
上，没有一成不变的规则”能够与下文形成转折关系，表示虽然可持续旅游没有固定的规
则，但每一个小步骤都有助于构建一个更可持续的世界。故选 A。

Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. He placed the check in his
wallet with great caution and headed for Mr. Thompson’s new address. Upon arriving, Mr.
Thompson greeted him warmly, inviting him in. Jack’s voice shivered as he extended thanks to Mr.
Thompson for the generous gift. “It’s more than just money to me,” Jack said, a wave of tears welling
up his eyes. “It’s hope.” Mr. Thompson smiled gently, patting Jack’s shoulder lightly. “You deserve
it, Jack. You’ve always been a nice tenant and a kind-hearted person. I believe in you.” Jack left with
a lighter heart, feeling more grateful than ever.
Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. He returned home and sat down
to make a plan. He made the decision to use a portion of the money to pay off his debts and buy
necessary groceries. But the rest, he would save. It was then that he realized that Mr. Thompson’s
kindness wasn’t just a handout — it was a vote of trust and belief. Jack vowed to work more
diligently, secure a decent job, and one day, pay it forward to others in need. He stared at the check,
now a symbol of hope, and beamed with great courage and motivation. He knew he could make it.
With renewed determination, Jack was positioned to take up all challenges in life.

M: Oh, really What do they make

best apple pie.
Text3【原文】M: I’ve noticed you haven’t been feeling well lately.
W: I’ve been feeling dizzy, but I’m hesitant to see a doctor.
M: Don’t be afraid to have this checked by a doctor, better safe than sorry. I can handle our project
report. Just talk to the boss and take time off.
Text4【原文】W: Have you decided which optional course to take next semester
M: Not yet. I’m torn among Psychology, Music Education and Personal Finance.
W: Personal Finance could benefit you a lot. I highly recommend it.

Text 6【原文】M: It’s pouring down. Do you need an umbrella
W: Oh, yes. I forgot to bring mine. You’re so kind.
M: No worries. Where are you headed
W: I’m just on my way to the Tang Plaza Bus Stop. I need to catch a bus home.

It’s no trouble at all.
Text 7【原文】W: Guess what I found in a second-hand copy of The Shining — a photo with an
autograph from Stephen King himself! I bought the book for just five dollars three days ago. It was
a total steal!
M: Seriously That’s amazing luck! It reminds me of the time I came across a plane ticket from the
1970s in a used copy of The Moon and Six pence.
W: Wow, a plane ticket! That’s like a piece of someone’s journey frozen in time. I once discovered
a heartwarming letter from a mother to her son in a second-hand copy of Metaphors We Live By.
M: That’s incredible! Oh, I remember I bought a copy of Introduction to Algorithms in a second-
hand bookstore two years ago. I found a metal bookmark in it. I think these little items make second-
hand books more fascinating.
W: Absolutely. It’s like each second-hand book holds a story about its previous owner.
M: Definitely.

W: Oh, yes. I can’t find my phone anywhere.
M: Where did you last use it

M: Let me dial your number. Well, I can’t get through to the number.
W: Then what should I do now
M: Did you make a note of the license plate number or the driver’s information
W: Unfortunately, I didn’t. I was so worried I’d be late for work that I completely forgot.
M: Maybe your phone will turn up at the taxi company’s lost and found.
W: I hope so. It stores many important photos. What if someone finds it but doesn’t want to return
it
M: Hey, don’t lose hope just yet. Let me try again.
W: It’s so annoying, though.
M: Stay positive. Let’s hope for the best.
Text 9【原文】M: Good evening, Emily. Thank you for joining us today. Can you tell us how your
interest in the violin began
W: Good evening! My interest in the violin started when I was five. My parents took me to a classical
concert, and I was attracted by the violinists’ performances. I begged my parents for lessons, and
thankfully, they agreed.
M: That’s wonderful! How long did you practice the violin every day
W: In the beginning, I practiced for about an hour daily. As I got older, my practice sessions extended
to four or five hours daily.
M: How did your professional career as a violinist start
W: I started performing in local concerts in high school. My big break came when I won a national
competition at 17. This opened doors for me to play in symphonies and record my first album.
M: That’s impressive! So, can you tell us about your albums
W: Sure! I’ve released four albums so far. My first album was Strings of Passion, followed by
Harmony and Eternal Melodies. My latest album is Symphonic Dreams. I’m excited to announce
that I’ll perform Symphonic Dreams at Carnegie Hall - it feels like a lifelong dream come true. M:
Congratulations!
Text 10【原文】The 2024 Shaolin Games Finals concluded with those who placed in the top 10
earning the title of “Shaolin Kung Fu Star”. Two of the top 10 winners were from the Chinese
mainland; one was from Macao; two were from Australia; there was one winner each from the Czech
Republic, Austria, the United States, Peru and Zambia. Korenc Karel, the 18-year-old Czech winner,
said placing in the top 10 was a testament to his years of dedication to the martial art. Shaolin culture
promotes a healthy lifestyle, equipping people to navigate life’s challenges while maintaining
physical and mental balance. The competition attracted international participants, such as 32-year-
old Italian competitor Markus Hanisch. “Shaolin kung fu plays an important role in bridging cultures
between countries.” Hanisch said. Wara Lucero, a competitor from Bolivia, highlighted the personal
growth fostered by Shaolin kung fu training.智学大联考·皖中名校联盟

On Dec.26, Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home, gazing out at frozen Beards River. Suddenly, his
daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming
down.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without
hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore,
sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the
icy water could kill the pilot.
Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John,
pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said.
The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first
attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the
pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water,
paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics What if I fall over ”
With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you
were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of
unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help.
Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources
appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later
the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore.
The boat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get
him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied.
24. What was Gelinne’s first reaction to the air crash
A. Hesitant. B. Concerned. C. Scared. D. Surprised.
25. What can be learned from paragraph 4 A. The plane had sunk to the bottom.
B. The pilot was nearly frozen to death.
C. The kayaks got stuck in floating ice.
D. The rescue was tougher than expected.
26. Why did Gelinne need help
A. Because his son didn’t help him.
B. Because the kayaks were broken.
C. Because the ice wasn’t solid enough.
D. Because the pilot was too exhausted.
27. Which of the following can best describe Gelinne
A. Helpful and humorous. B. Modest and intelligent.
C.Generous and cautious. D.Honest and independent.
C
Genres (体裁) are often viewed as structural frameworks for literary texts, onto which elements like imagery,
character, plot, and setting are layered. These frameworks are passed down through generations, evolving (演变)
over time.
Among all genres, the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century, often praised as the
“king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world. Yet, in the nineteenth century, it was primarily seen as a form
of middle-class entertainment. It was not until the twentieth century that the novel was lifted to the status of an art
form, joining in the same league as painting or classical music. Later on, many scholars successively studied the
characteristics of novels from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fiction, he raises an appealing question: is there such a
thing as a “twentieth-century novel” Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-
century predecessor — or even from the novel of the twenty-first century Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates
how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century was a period of violent
change; therefore, violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects — not, or not only, in its subject matter
but in its form. Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to
development of societies.
However, that relevance seems to have waned. Today, the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural
conversation. People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading ” to “What are you streaming ”
Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century.
Has prestige television reshaped the role of the novel Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the
twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James, for example, would likely be pleased to know that The
Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version — each
reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for.
28. Why did the novel gain recognition in the twentieth century
A. It mirrored its link with reality. B. It was written in amusing forms.
C. It displayed attractive characters. D. It was authored by the middle-class.
29. Which aspect of the twentieth-century novel does Stranger Than Fiction focus on
A. Its rises and falls. B. Its expansion and effect.
C. Its significance and limitation. D. Its evolution and uniqueness.
30. What does the underlined word “waned” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Varied. B. Weakened. C. Peaked. D. Remained.
31. What does the example of The Portrait of a Lady indicate
A. Novels lose their artistic appeal. B. Adaptation decreases novels’ status.
C. Media breathe new life into novels. D. TV shows change the role of novels.
D
We take our speech abilities for granted. Most people do not stop to think of how other animals and insects
communicate with each other. Ants are amazing creatures that have a tireless work pattern and complex social
structure. To achieve this, they must have some ways of communicating with each other. Obviously, ants do not
speak as we do, so how do they communicate
Ants communicate by releasing pheromones (信息素) that function outside of the body to send chemical
messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other. The best
example that we can see very clearly is that ants find food sources and drop pheromones on their ways. By using
their antennae to detect pheromone trails and following a sweeping pattern, they encounter a trail. Once the
pheromone trail is found, they follow it with one antenna on either side of the path, ensuring they keep on track.
This allows other ants to follow the pheromones. The result of these pheromone paths is long lines of ants, marching
one behind each other to collect food.
The queen ant uses pheromones to signal. As the queen ages, she gives off pheromones that tell the ant colony
that she is dying. They begin feeding and preparing a pupa (蛹) to be the new queen. When ants greet each other
with their antennae, they can tell if they are friends or foes and what function each ant fulfills in the nest.
Scientists know that this is possible, but they are still trying to identify which pheromones share this information.
Ants also give off pheromones that identify the nest they belong to, their social status, and their maturity. The more
researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form
collective memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators.
32. How could ants communicate according to the text
A. By keeping on the same track.
B. By attracting companions via sounds.
C. By sending alarm signals to the queen.
D. By identifying pheromones with antennae.
33. What is the function of the pheromone trail A. To
spot enemies in the ant colony.
B. To help companions find food sources.
C. To keep the orders of the ant community.
D. To enable ants to communicate with humans.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph A.
Ants have no collective memories.
B. Ants’ alarm-sounding ability is unique.
C. Researchers have identified the types of pheromones.
D. More secrets on ants’ communication remain unknown.
35. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Amazing World of Ants. B.The Research on Ants’ Memories.
C. The Insight into Ants’Communication. D. The Secret of Touching Antennae.

处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is well deserved
to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature.
While tourism is good, it has its dark side. Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily
to plastic pollution. This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing. 36 When it
comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.
37 If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them. Most times, what we interpret as
affection for wildlife puts them at risk. If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying
from food poisoning are high.
In our efforts to protect nature, we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures. The local communities in the
Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in
some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife. 38 Trying to listen and interact with
communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.
Most people are not sustainability conscious. 39 We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your
ideas. The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person. However, sharing your experience
may help others have different perspectives.
At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact
but also awaken society to such a reality. 40 However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.
A. No rule fits all situations concerning this topic.
B. The reason for this is that they think it cannot be achieved.
C. Protect our lives from potential danger by following regulations.
D. The best way to care for nature and wildlife is to follow the rules.
E. Instead of being critical, take your time to learn from their practices.
F. An ecotourist focuses on protecting nature, culture and social practices.
G. The term ecotourism is often used interchangeably with sustainable tourism.

A sign language learning app, 56 (name) ArtfulSign (Miaoshou in Chinese), emerged as the top winner among
240 participating teams at a computering contest held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
ArtfulSign, developed by three hearing-impaired students from Beijing Union University, 57 (design) to help
hearing individuals learn sign language to communicate with others. The most notable feature of the app is the use
of AI models in sign language teaching. After learning the real-person video examples 58 show each sign language
word, users can activate the camera, and the app will recognize and assess the 59
(accurate) of their sign language gestures.
The team leader, Zhao Yuan, 60 software engineering graduate student, shoulders the responsibility of 61 (plan)
the development process and oversees the most difficult and time-consuming task---building and training the sign
language AI recognition model. Tan Chenglong employs his expertise (专长) in visual communication 62 (handle)
the user interface (界面) and user experience design. One of Tan’s thoughtful 63 (touch) is allowing users to have
their own sign language names.
- 64 (current), few researchers in China study sign language as a natural language from a linguistic (语
言学) perspective. The developers hope that everyone can learn some basic sign language. Whether it’s out of love
and interest, a desire to help those with hearing loss, 65 simply for situations where speaking is difficult due to
illness, sign language can be very useful.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack leaned against his apartment’s kitchen counter, gazing at the growing mountain of bills. Despite the city’s
promise of opportunities, he struggled with a low-paying job and high expenses. Every month felt like a battle to
make ends meet. He missed the warmth of Mr. Thompson’s old house, where every tenant (租户) felt like family
and Mr. Thompson treated each tenant with constant kindness.
One cool autumn day, as Jack sorted through his mail, mostly consisting of bills and advertisements, a plain
white envelope caught his eye. The return address belonged to Mr. Thompson. Heart pounding with curiosity, Jack
tore it open. Inside, a check for $2,500 and a handwritten note fell into his hands.
“Dear Jack,
I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve recently sold the old house, and it felt only right to share a portion of the
proceeds with those who made it a home. Over the years, watching young people like you grow and pursue their
dreams has been my greatest reward. Your presence brought joy and warmth to our community. I wish you all the
best.
Warm regards,
Thompson”
Jack’s eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. This unexpected windfall was more than just money---it was a
lifeline, a ray of hope in his struggles. The gesture reminded him of all the times Mr. Thompson had shown similar
kindness to his tenants, from helping with repairs to offering wise advice during difficult times.
The check trembled in Jack’s hand. It could fix everything, he thought---the unpaid rent, the empty fridge, and
the endless fear. But his chest tightened. Memories of his father’s lectures echoed: “Never depend on others. Stand
on your own.” Jack had promised to prove himself in the city, yet here he was, drowning.
Mr. Thompson’s words warmed him, but doubt crept in. Was it a charity case He needed answers---not from
the money, but from the man who sent it.
Jack paced, the check glaring from the table. He imagined Mr. Thompson’s kind eyes. This isn’t pity, Jack
reasoned. It’s... thanks. 注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person.
