【答案】18. C 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Do you often have meetings For me, I usually have five meetings every pared to some people in America, I am lucky. In the United States, there are quite a few meetings every weekday. It seems Americans like to have meetings. The reason is that people can often find good ideas when they get together. A meeting gives each member a chance to present his or her ideas and to discuss them with others. People hope that they can make good use of their time and money in this way. However, meetings must be controlled. On the one hand, if everyone wants to have a chance to speak during a meeting, it can be very noisy, and some people may even get angry. On the other hand, if no one wants to say anything, the meeting will be very dull and awkward. How can we deal with this problem In fact, at meetings there is a person called the chairman whose job is to keep the discussion in order. The chairman helps to guide the discussion and makes decisions. Therefore, whether a meeting is a success or a waste of time often depends on the chairman.

In the live-streaming (直播) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.
The 73-year-old comes from Huainan city of Anhui province and is an experienced educator. She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education attempt through live-streaming online. The retiree opened her live-streaming account in May 2021 and offered free pinyin courses designed for kindergarten pupils about to attend primary schools. However, she gradually learned among her viewers there are a lot of illiterate (文盲) adults.
Yang said she found many illiterate adults develop a sense of lack of confidence. They are afraid to go to new places, worried that they couldn’t teach their children or read their boss’s instructions. So, she added targeted content to meet their needs. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said.
According to the seventh national census (人口普查) carried out last year, there are 38 million illiterate adults in China. Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.
Yang said students learning through her live-streaming channel each have their own demands. So she always prepares her classes carefully after concluding a live-streaming session. She has tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes.
24. What’s Yang’s original purpose when she started teaching online
A. To teach retired adults Chinese.
B. To spread Chinese character culture.
C. To teach kids before elementary school.
D. To sell products in her live-streaming channel.
25. Why does Yang’s live-streaming class become a hit among adults
A. She is an experienced and respectable teacher.
B. Many people believe her classes are beneficial for their children.
C. Her class is vivid and lively with singing or dancing performance.
D. Many illiterate adults can learn Chinese in an easy and private way in her class.
26. What’s the best title of the passage
A. The Rise Of Short Video Platforms
B. A Retiree And Her Live-streaming Courses
C. A Chinese Teacher In An Elementary School
D. 38 Million Illiterate Adults Received Free Courses
27. Which of the following can best describe Yang
A. Devoted and helpful. B. Caring and brave.
C. Warm-hearted and strict. D. Persistent and honest.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述一位73岁退休老教师直播教人识字的故事。

【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.(Yang的直播频道为那些想要克服成人文盲的人提供了一种简单而私密的方式)”可知，Yang的直播在不识字的成年人中走红，是因为许多不识字的成年人可以在她的课堂上以一种简单而私密的方式学习汉语，故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.(Yang教授拼音、阅读和写作，这是她在过去50年里最熟悉的东西。不同的是，她的学生大多是成年人)”可知，文章主要讲述一位73岁老教师直播教人识字的故事。B项“一位退休人员和她的直播课程”适合作为文章标题。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful.(她在一所小学当了50年的语文老师。退休后，Yang也想做一些有意义的事情)”及第四段中“Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.(Yang的直播频道为那些想要克服成人文盲的人提供了一种简单而私密的方式)”可知，Yang献身于教育事业，退休后仍用直播的方式帮助不识字的成年人学习汉语，所以她是一个有奉献精神且乐于助人的人，故选A。
C
When it comes to phones, music, movies and shows, it’s common for teenagers and young adults to listen too loud and too long. So turning down the loud noise isn’t just for unpleased parents, it could protect more than one billion young people at risk of hearing loss, according to a new study published in the journal BMJ Global Health.
Researchers conducted an analysis of scientific articles on unsafe listening practices published between 2000 and 2021, in which the unsafe practices were tracked based on the use of headphones as well as attendance at entertainment venues, such as concerts, bars and clubs. “We estimated that around 0.67 to 1.35 billion individuals aged 12-34 years worldwide are likely involved in unsafe listening practices and are therefore at risk of hearing loss,” said lead study author Lauren Dillard, who is a consultant to the World Health Organization and a researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Plugged into a smartphone downloaded with MP3 audio files, listeners often choose volumes (音量) as high as 105 decibels (分贝), and venues like concerts and parties often range from 104 to 112 decibels, which are too much for the ears to take, the study said. “Exposure to sound at a too high volume can wear down the sensory cells and structures in the ear,” said Dillard. “If that goes on for too long, they can become permanently damaged, resulting in ringing in the ears, hearing loss or both.”
“Music is a gift to be enjoyed for a lifetime, and hearing is the sense that connects us to the people we love,” said De Wet Swanepoel, professor of audiology at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. “Taking care of our hearing is key to maintaining general health and well-being. So the message here is to enjoy your music but safely.”
“Fortunately, policies, businesses and individuals can put measures into place to encourage safe listening and protect hearing from damage over time,” Dillard said.
28. Which of the following individuals is least likely to suffer from hearing loss
A. A waiter of 30 who works at a bar 8 hours a day.
B. A senior citizen who occasionally listens to music.
C. A 12-year-old boy who frequently wears headphones.
D. A college student who attends concerts on a daily basis.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The ways of measuring decibels. B. The effects of a constant high volume.
C. The methods of downloading audio files. D. The disadvantages of using an MP3 player.
30. What would be Swanepoel’s attitude to the findings of the study
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
31. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph
A. Why we should turn down loud noises. B. What benefits safe listening can bring us.
C. How to prevent our hearing from damage. D. Who we can tun to if we suffer from hearing loss.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了根据发表在《英国医学杂志全球健康》杂志上的一项新研究，调低噪音不仅可以保护不高兴的父母，还可以保护超过10亿有听力损失风险的年轻人。文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及发现。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers conducted an analysis of scientific articles on unsafe listening practices published between 2000 and 2021, in which the unsafe practices were tracked based on the use of headphones as well as attendance at entertainment venues, such as concerts, bars and clubs.(研究人员对2000年至2021年间发表的关于不安全听力行为的科学文章进行了分析，其中根据耳机的使用以及音乐会、酒吧和俱乐部等娱乐场所的出勤情况对不安全行为进行了追踪)”可推知，偶尔听音乐的老年人最不可能有听力损失。故选B。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Plugged into a smartphone downloaded with MP3 audio files, listeners often choose volumes (音量) as high as 105 decibels (分贝), and venues like concerts and parties often range from 104 to 112 decibels, which are too much for the ears to take, the study said. “Exposure to sound at a too high volume can wear down the sensory cells and structures in the ear,” said Dillard. “If that goes on for too long, they can become permanently damaged, resulting in ringing in the ears, hearing loss or both.”(研究称，通过下载MP3音频文件的智能手机，听众通常会选择高达105分贝的音量，而音乐会和派对等场所的音量通常在104到112分贝之间，耳朵无法承受。迪拉德说：“暴露在过大音量的声音中会磨损耳朵里的感觉细胞和结构。如果这种情况持续太久，它们可能会永久性受损，导致耳鸣、听力丧失或两者兼而有之。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了恒定高音量的影响。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Music is a gift to be enjoyed for a lifetime, and hearing is the sense that connects us to the people we love,” said De Wet Swanepoel, professor of audiology at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. “Taking care of our hearing is key to maintaining general health and well-being. So the message here is to enjoy your music but safely.”(南非比勒陀利亚大学的听力学教授De Wet Swanepoel说：“音乐是一种值得享受一生的礼物，而听觉是一种将我们与我们所爱的人联系起来的感觉。照顾好我们的听力是保持整体健康和幸福的关键。所以这里的信息是，享受你的音乐，但要安全。”)”可推知，Swanepoel对研究结果的态度是支持。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Fortunately, policies, businesses and individuals can put measures into place to encourage safe listening and protect hearing from damage over time,” Dillard said.(迪拉德说：“幸运的是，政策、企业和个人都可以采取措施鼓励安全倾听，保护听力免受长期损害。”)”可推知，作者在最后一段之后可能会讨论如何防止我们的听力受损。故选C。
D
The Amazon rainforest is now alarmingly close to dying by 2030 due to climate change and forest loss, a WWF report warns.
The world’s largest rainforest is now close to a “tipping point” (临界点) that could mean it changes forever, no longer benefiting humanity in dealing with climate change by soaking up greenhouse gases, the report says.
Deforestation (森林砍伐) in the Amazon reached a record high this year, as illegal trees cutting increased to the highest levels in 15 years. Between 13 to 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest area has already been lost in the past 50 years. The WWF report said an area of 1.4 million square miles of the Amazon has experienced a lack of rain, a constant dry season and deforestation, which could lead it to become degraded, turning to a dry land.
What’s worse, the “tipping points” could lead to irreversible (不可逆的) loss, including receiving less than 1500mm annual rainfall, a dry season of more than 7 months and deforestation of the area to reduce to just 20 percent of the original cover. The loss of the Amazon would further reduce the chances of alleviating (减轻) global warming as the areas’ trees take in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide.
“This paper sounds an alarm bell for humanity, revealing the threats of climate change and forest loss are pushing the world’s largest rainforest at risk,” Professor Gagen, lead author of the WWF report, added. “The evidence gives a serious warning that we need to take the tipping point risk seriously and act immediately to cut emissions (排放), saving natural resources, and, most importantly, change the indifferent attitude to forest loss which are sending people and our planet down a path to disaster.”
“Only by listening to the voices of Amazonia’s peoples and by preserving nature can we bring our world back to life,” Gagen said.
32. What does the underlined phrase “soaking up” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Absorbing. B. Adapting. C. Abandoning. D. Applying.
33. Why does the author give several numbers in paragraph 3-4
A. To show why deforestation happens. B. To show how big the Amazon rainforest is.
C. To explain how bad the current situation is. D. To suggest what to do to stop global warming.
34. According to Gagen, what is the most important factor in dealing with “the tipping point”
A. Cutting down emissions right away. B. Saving the Amazon from deforestation.
C. Preventing natural resources going to waste. D. Change the unconcerned attitude to the problem.
35. In which column of a website can you probably find the passage
A. Environment. B. Health. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。世界自然基金会的一份报告警告称，由于气候变化和森林减少，亚马逊雨林现在接近于2030年死亡。文章主要说明了世界上最大的热带雨林现在正接近一个“临界点”，这可能意味着它将永远改变，不再有利于人类通过吸收温室气体来应对气候变化。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The world’s largest rainforest is now close to a “tipping point” (临界点) that could mean it changes forever, no longer benefiting humanity in dealing with climate change by”以及后文“greenhouse gases”以及常识可知，世界上最大的热带雨林现在正接近一个“临界点”，这可能意味着它将永远改变，不再有利于人类通过吸收温室气体来应对气候变化。故画线词意思是“吸收”。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Deforestation (森林砍伐) in the Amazon reached a record high this year, as illegal trees cutting increased to the highest levels in 15 years. Between 13 to 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest area has already been lost in the past 50 years. The WWF report said an area of 1.4 million square miles of the Amazon has experienced a lack of rain, a constant dry season and deforestation, which could lead it to become degraded, turning to a dry land.(今年亚马逊地区的森林砍伐达到了历史新高，非法砍伐树木的数量达到了15年来的最高水平。在过去的50年里，13%到17%的亚马逊雨林面积已经消失。世界自然基金会的报告称，亚马逊地区有140万平方英里的面积经历了降雨不足、持续的旱季和森林砍伐，这可能导致该地区退化，变成干旱的土地)”以及第四段“What’s worse, the “tipping points” could lead to irreversible (不可逆的) loss, including receiving less than 1500mm annual rainfall, a dry season of more than 7 months and deforestation of the area to reduce to just 20 percent of the original cover.(更糟糕的是，“临界点”可能会导致不可逆转的损失，包括年降雨量不足1500毫米，旱季超过7个月，以及该地区的森林砍伐减少到只有原始覆盖面积的20%)”可知，作者在第3到4段给出了几个数字是为了解释目前的情况有多糟糕。故选C。
【34题详解】

How to learn new things
Is it ever too late to learn a new skill The answer is: absolutely not! Learning new things is beneficial at any age. It can change your life in many ways — from giving you a career promotion to helping you discover a new passion. All you need is enthusiasm, focus, and some helpful learning strategies. ____36____
●Take a class or online course.
Classes offer informative, guided instruction on your chosen discipline. Check out the course listings at your local community college or look for class offerings at local churches, free schools, community recreation centers, and cultural centers. ____37____
●Learn through practical experience.
The most effective way to learn something is just to do it! ____38____ For example, you want to learn a programming language. Try it out rather than spending all your time in a textbook! Learn by coding a small program and working out the bugs yourself.
●____39____
Teaching a skill enables you to understand it better. Why Because by teaching someone else, you first have to think critically about the skill or subject and break it down into easily explainable pieces. Ask a friend or coworker if you can discuss what you’ve been learning with them. Make an informative presentation about the subject or start a blog about your learning process.
●Test yourself.
A test will show you how much of the material you remember. Quizzes aren’t the most fun part of learning, but sometimes they’re exactly what you need. ____40____ Find a practice exam online or draw up your own test that you can use to grade yourself.

It can change your life in many ways — from giving you a career promotion to helping you discover a new passion. All you need is enthusiasm, focus, and some helpful learning strategies.(学习一项新技能永远不会太晚吗？答案是：绝对不是！学习新事物在任何年龄都是有益的。它可以在很多方面改变你的生活——从给你升职到帮助你发现新的激情。你所需要的只是热情、专注和一些有用的学习策略)”结合后文介绍了一些学习新技能的方法，故E选项“这里有一些技巧可以帮助你学习任何你想要的新技能”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Classes offer informative, guided instruction on your chosen discipline. Check out the course listings at your local community college or look for class offerings at local churches, free schools, community recreation centers, and cultural centers.(课程为您选择的学科提供信息丰富的指导。查看当地社区大学的课程列表，或者在当地教堂、免费学校、社区娱乐中心和文化中心寻找课程)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故主要承接上文说明如何寻找课程以及教师。故F选项“查看当地杂志和网上关于独立教师和家庭教师的列表”符合语境，故选F。
【38题详解】
根据上文“The most effective way to learn something is just to do it!(学习东西最有效的方法就是去做)”以及后文“For example, you want to learn a programming language. Try it out rather than spending all your time in a textbook! Learn by coding a small program and working out the bugs yourself.(例如，你想学习一门编程语言。尝试一下，而不是把所有的时间都花在教科书上!通过编写小程序并自己解决错误来学习)”可知，上文强调学习最有效的是去做，即要实践，故G选项“把你从课程中学到的想法应用到实践中，找出最适合你的方法”符合语境，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据本段内容“Teaching a skill enables you to understand it better. Why Because by teaching someone else, you first have to think critically about the skill or subject and break it down into easily explainable pieces. Ask a friend or coworker if you can discuss what you’ve been learning with them. Make an informative presentation about the subject or start a blog about your learning process.(教授一项技能可以让你更好地理解它。为什么？因为通过教别人，你首先必须批判性地思考技能或主题，并将其分解成易于解释的部分。问问朋友或同事，你是否可以和他们讨论你所学到的东西。就这个主题做一个信息丰富的演讲，或者写一个关于你学习过程的博客)”可知，后文提到“教授一项技能可以让你更好地理解它”，即通过教人来学习。故A选项“教别人”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“A test will show you how much of the material you remember. Quizzes aren’t the most fun part of learning, but sometimes they’re exactly what you need.(考试会显示你记住了多少材料。小测验并不是学习中最有趣的部分，但有时它们正是你所需要的)”以及后文“Find a practice exam online or draw up your own test that you can use to grade yourself. Testing shows you how well you’ve mastered the material so far and what you might still need to work on.(在网上找一个练习考试，或者自己写一个测试，你可以用它来给自己打分。测试可以告诉你，到目前为止，你对材料的掌握程度，以及你可能还需要改进的地方)”可知，后文提到了给自己写一个测试，C选项中test对应后文test。故C选项“当你学习一项新技能或新概念时，给自己做一个测试”符合语境，故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
“Time to get up. It’s your birthday.” Alex opened his eyes and looked up. His parents were standing next to his bed holding a breakfast muffin. “We can do anything you want today,” said his mom.
He jumped up to get dressed as quickly as he could, already imagining what kind of day he would have at the beach. He had always dreamed about playing in the sand and jumping in the waves. He nearly tripped (绊倒) as he ran down the stairs on his way to the kitchen.
Alex’s dad asked him what he wanted to do today. “The beach,” he shouted with joy.
The expression on his mom’s face changed from joy to sadness. She knew the one place that he would not go was the beach. When her husband had been a young boy of Alex’s age, he had a terrifying experience at the beach. Alex’s dad shook off his initial (最初的) shock of hearing his son’s plan.
“How about we go to the zoo instead ” he suggested. “The beach is over two hours away.”
“But dad, I’ve wanted to go to the beach my WHOLE life,” Alex pleaded.
“Son, I’m sorry, but we are not going to the beach and that’s final.”
They ended up driving to the zoo. It was an exciting day, but Alex could not get the beach out of his mind. He yearned to build a sandcastle, swim in the ocean and chase the incoming and outgoing waves. The beach seemed like the best place on earth.
Over the next few weeks, he dreamed about it almost every night. Any free moment he had was spent filling his room with pictures and drawings of beaches. He repeatedly pleaded with his mom to help him convince his dad to take them to the beach. Each time she explained that they could do other things as a family, just not the beach.
One night, Alex received what he thought was good news. His dad was going on a three-day business trip the next day. “This is an opportunity,” he thought to himself.
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
The next morning, seeing his dad get into the taxi, Alex ran to his mother.

Hours later, as Alex looked out of the front window of the car, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The next morning, seeing his dad get into the taxi, Alex ran to his mother. He looked at his mother eagerly and pleaded: “Mom, I really want to go to the beach. Please, please, please!” After that, he looked at his mother with anxious and expectant eyes. Alex’s mother didn’t know what to do. She knew that going to the beach was her son’s dream, but she didn’t want to do it without telling her husband. Alex saw his mother’s hesitation and then said:“Mom, Dad is not at home, so he doesn’t have to worry about going to the beach with us. ” With Alex’s persuasion, his mother finally agreed to take him to the beach.
Hours later, as Alex looked out of the front window of the car, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. It was his father who was waiting them at the destination. When the taxi stopped, he quickly got out of the car and rushed to his father, asking anxiously, “Dad, why are you here ” His father smiled and said, “Your mother called me and told me the news. I think this is not only a good opportunity for you to go to the beach, but also it’s time for me to overcome the fear, so I postponed my trip and came here directly”. Hearing this, Alex was obviously relieved and became excited. On that day, Alex did everything he had always wanted to do on the beach and had a very good time. His father also seemed to have overcome the psychological obstacles. After returning home, Alex was tired and fell asleep directly on the bed, but He has a faint smile on his lips.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了Alex非常想去海边玩，但是他的父亲因为小时候在海边有着不好的经历，一直没有同意带他去。有一天父亲去出差，Alex想趁着爸爸不在的时候，让妈妈偷偷带他去海滩玩。

②由第二段首句内容“几个小时后，当亚历克斯从汽车的前窗向外看时，他的眼睛睁大了，下巴都掉了下来。”可知，第二段可描写Alex在海边看到了爸爸，度过了愉快地时光。

In the live-streaming (直播) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.
The 73-year-old comes from Huainan city of Anhui province and is an experienced educator. She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education attempt through live-streaming online. The retiree opened her live-streaming account in May 2021 and offered free pinyin courses designed for kindergarten pupils about to attend primary schools. However, she gradually learned among her viewers there are a lot of illiterate (文盲) adults.
Yang said she found many illiterate adults develop a sense of lack of confidence. They are afraid to go to new places, worried that they couldn’t teach their children or read their boss’s instructions. So, she added targeted content to meet their needs. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said.
According to the seventh national census (人口普查) carried out last year, there are 38 million illiterate adults in China. Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.
Yang said students learning through her live-streaming channel each have their own demands. So she always prepares her classes carefully after concluding a live-streaming session. She has tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes.
24. What’s Yang’s original purpose when she started teaching online
A. To teach retired adults Chinese.
B. To spread Chinese character culture.
C. To teach kids before elementary school.
D. To sell products in her live-streaming channel.
25. Why does Yang’s live-streaming class become a hit among adults
A. She is an experienced and respectable teacher.
B. Many people believe her classes are beneficial for their children.
C. Her class is vivid and lively with singing or dancing performance.
D. Many illiterate adults can learn Chinese in an easy and private way in her class.
26. What’s the best title of the passage
A. The Rise Of Short Video Platforms
B A Retiree And Her Live-streaming Courses
C. A Chinese Teacher In An Elementary School
D. 38 Million Illiterate Adults Received Free Courses
27. Which of the following can best describe Yang
A. Devoted and helpful. B. Caring and brave.
C. Warm-hearted and strict. D. Persistent and honest.
C
When it comes to phones, music, movies and shows, it’s common for teenagers and young adults to listen too loud and too long. So turning down the loud noise isn’t just for unpleased parents, it could protect more than one billion young people at risk of hearing loss, according to a new study published in the journal BMJ Global Health.
Researchers conducted an analysis of scientific articles on unsafe listening practices published between 2000 and 2021, in which the unsafe practices were tracked based on the use of headphones as well as attendance at entertainment venues, such as concerts, bars and clubs. “We estimated that around 0.67 to 1.35 billion individuals aged 12-34 years worldwide are likely involved in unsafe listening practices and are therefore at risk of hearing loss,” said lead study author Lauren Dillard, who is a consultant to the World Health Organization and a researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Plugged into a smartphone downloaded with MP3 audio files, listeners often choose volumes (音量) as high as 105 decibels (分贝), and venues like concerts and parties often range from 104 to 112 decibels, which are too much for the ears to take, the study said. “Exposure to sound at a too high volume can wear down the sensory cells and structures in the ear,” said Dillard. “If that goes on for too long, they can become permanently damaged, resulting in ringing in the ears, hearing loss or both.”
“Music is a gift to be enjoyed for a lifetime, and hearing is the sense that connects us to the people we love,” said De Wet Swanepoel, professor of audiology at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. “Taking care of our hearing is key to maintaining general health and well-being. So the message here is to enjoy your music but safely.”
“Fortunately, policies, businesses and individuals can put measures into place to encourage safe listening and protect hearing from damage over time,” Dillard said.
28. Which of the following individuals is least likely to suffer from hearing loss
A. A waiter of 30 who works at a bar 8 hours a day.
B. A senior citizen who occasionally listens to music.
C. A 12-year-old boy who frequently wears headphones.
D. A college student who attends concerts on a daily basis.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The ways of measuring decibels. B. The effects of a constant high volume.
C. The methods of downloading audio files. D. The disadvantages of using an MP3 player.
30. What would be Swanepoel’s attitude to the findings of the study
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
31. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph
A. Why we should turn down loud noises. B. What benefits safe listening can bring us.
C. How to prevent our hearing from damage. D. Who we can tun to if we suffer from hearing loss.
D
The Amazon rainforest is now alarmingly close to dying by 2030 due to climate change and forest loss, a WWF report warns.
The world’s largest rainforest is now close to a “tipping point” (临界点) that could mean it changes forever no longer benefiting humanity in dealing with climate change by soaking up greenhouse gases, the report says.
Deforestation (森林砍伐) in the Amazon reached a record high this year, as illegal trees cutting increased to the highest levels in 15 years. Between 13 to 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest area has already been lost in the past 50 years. The WWF report said an area of 1.4 million square miles of the Amazon has experienced a lack of rain, a constant dry season and deforestation, which could lead it to become degraded, turning to a dry land.
What’s worse, the “tipping points” could lead to irreversible (不可逆的) loss, including receiving less than 1500mm annual rainfall, a dry season of more than 7 months and deforestation of the area to reduce to just 20 percent of the original cover. The loss of the Amazon would further reduce the chances of alleviating (减轻) global warming as the areas’ trees take in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide.
“This paper sounds an alarm bell for humanity, revealing the threats of climate change and forest loss are pushing the world’s largest rainforest at risk,” Professor Gagen, lead author of the WWF report, added. “The evidence gives a serious warning that we need to take the tipping point risk seriously and act immediately to cut emissions (排放), saving natural resources, and, most importantly, change the indifferent attitude to forest loss which are sending people and our planet down a path to disaster.”
“Only by listening to the voices of Amazonia’s peoples and by preserving nature can we bring our world back to life,” Gagen said.
32. What does the underlined phrase “soaking up” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Absorbing. B. Adapting. C. Abandoning. D. Applying.
33. Why does the author give several numbers in paragraph 3-4
A. To show why deforestation happens. B. To show how big the Amazon rainforest is.
C. To explain how bad the current situation is. D. To suggest what to do to stop global warming.
34. According to Gagen, what is the most important factor in dealing with “the tipping point”
A. Cutting down emissions right away. B. Saving the Amazon from deforestation.
C. Preventing natural resources going to waste. D. Change the unconcerned attitude to the problem.
35. In which column of a website can you probably find the passage
A. Environment. B. Health. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.

“Time to get up. It’s your birthday.” Alex opened his eyes and looked up. His parents were standing next to his bed holding a breakfast muffin. “We can do anything you want today,” said his mom.
He jumped up to get dressed as quickly as he could, already imagining what kind of day he would have at the beach. He had always dreamed about playing in the sand and jumping in the waves. He nearly tripped (绊倒) as he ran down the stairs on his way to the kitchen.
Alex’s dad asked him what he wanted to do today. “The beach,” he shouted with joy.
The expression on his mom’s face changed from joy to sadness. She knew the one place that he would not go was the beach. When her husband had been a young boy of Alex’s age, he had a terrifying experience at the beach. Alex’s dad shook off his initial (最初的) shock of hearing his son’s plan.
“How about we go to the zoo instead ” he suggested. “The beach is over two hours away.”
“But dad, I’ve wanted to go to the beach my WHOLE life,” Alex pleaded.
“Son, I’m sorry, but we are not going to the beach and that’s final.”
They ended up driving to the zoo. It was an exciting day, but Alex could not get the beach out of his mind. He yearned to build a sandcastle, swim in the ocean and chase the incoming and outgoing waves. The beach seemed like the best place on earth.
Over the next few weeks, he dreamed about it almost every night. Any free moment he had was spent filling his room with pictures and drawings of beaches. He repeatedly pleaded with his mom to help him convince his dad to take them to the beach. Each time she explained that they could do other things as a family, just not the beach.
One night, Alex received what he thought was good news. His dad was going on a three-day business trip the next day. “This is an opportunity,” he thought to himself.
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
The next morning, seeing his dad get into the taxi, Alex ran to his mother.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hours later, as Alex looked out of the front window of the car, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
