第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 42.5分)
第一节 (共 12小题;每题 2.5分，满分 30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
If I have a goal in life, it isn’t to be driving a Rolls-Royce. It’s to be giving away more than
$1,000,000 a year and having an impact on people’s lives. I have the success today because I
always had to work for what I wanted. I grew up accustomed to risks and disappointments, so I
was used to moving forward, no matter what.
In 2008, I went to Los Angeles where I tried to get hired as an agent, an analyst and a
financial broker. Unfortunately, all these doors slammed in my face. The world’s economy was in
a bad state, so I knew I would have to do a little spinning of my own.
Youth involves a certain innocence but also perseverance. The word “can’t” wasn’t in my
vocabulary. I partnered with a friend buying distressed multifamily properties around Houston.
Even though we were enthusiastic and backed with start-up sums, I didn’t make a deal work. My
friend moved on to other projects. Alone, I put all my money into the next real-estate project. I put
the time in, I dreamed it, but once again the deal fell through. Two months later, though, the deal
came back around. That was when the path opened, luck changed, and I was ready to form my
own company. I haven’t looked back. Only ahead.
I’m now able to give back to communities and causes. I donate about $500,000 a year, much
of that going to research to cure rare diseases. We also support a lot of services for disadvantaged
2
children in Houston and other places.
I have always been someone who can see the big picture and have never been distracted by
things that get in the way. There are lessons to be learned, and the biggest of those is to keep going.
You may have to change the path, but always keep that vision in front of you.
21. Which of the following about the author is true
A. He donated a lot of money to improve his company’s image.
B. He often encountered difficulties in the process of growing up.
C. He started his own company together with a friend.
D. He changed jobs several times while in Los Angeles.
22. By saying “do a little spinning of my own” in the second paragraph, the author probably
means he would_____________.
A. look for a part-time job independently B. make his contributions to the economy
C. give in to the disappointing reality D. be self-employed to develop his career
23. Which quality of the author is not shown in the passage
A. Perseverance. B. Optimism. C. Innocence. D. Kindness.
24. Which one is probably the best title of the passage
A. Saying No to “Turning Back” B. Tips for a Successful Business
C. Jumping over Economic Downturns D. A Life-time Pursuit of Dream
B
I love my gas stove. There’s nothing quite like cooking over that beautiful blue flame. But in
recent years environmentalists have been warning that gas stoves are bad for the climate and not
so great for our health, either. Two new studies have heightened health worries about harmful
gases in our kitchens. Is the evidence sufficient to change our cooking habits For me, the answer
is yes.
Broadly speaking, there are two categories of concerning emissions related to gas stoves.
First, there is the unburned natural gas, which is more than 90 percent methane. More than three
quarters of methane that escapes from a stove leaks into kitchens when it is not in use, most likely
through improper pipe fittings. Methane is not poisonous, but it is a powerful greenhouse gas.
With 40 million gas stoves across our country, it is estimated that the heat-trapping potential of the
methane they send out annually can roughly be compared to the carbon dioxide released by half a
million gas-powered cars.
Second, there are the pollutants created by combustion when a burner is on, most notably
nitrogen oxides, which can cause discomfort and pain in the lungs. In a matter of minutes, families
who do not use their exhaust hoods and who have small, poorly ventilated kitchens can go over
the Environmental Protection Agency’s outdoor exposure limit for nitrogen dioxide. Even short
exposures to much nitrogen dioxide can worsen symptoms in people with respiratory conditions.
And there is enough evidence that long-term exposure raises the risk of developing asthma.
What is the average home cook to make of all this They might take a cue from Michanowicz,
who bought a plug-in countertop induction stove and does much of his cooking on that $100 item.
Jackson, for his part, is putting his money where his research is: “I’m replacing a perfectly good
gas stove” with an induction stove. Several U.S. cities are curtailing the use of natural gas in new
construction.
As for me, I’m making some changes. I’ve switched to an electric kettle for boiling water,
and despite its annoying noise, I now use the exhaust hood over my stove. And weather permitting,
I’ll open a window.

25. What does the author want to show by mentioning two new studies
A. She might well get out of her cooking habits.
B. Health worries are proved by the two studies.
C. It’s not for her to judge despite sufficient evidence.
D. She will continue to cook with her beloved gas stove.
26. What do we know about methane
A. Methane can test the destructive power of greenhouse gas.
B. Most methane will leak into kitchens when a stove is not in use.
C. The leakage of methane into kitchens is possibly through imperfect pipe fittings.
D. The heat-trapping potential of methane is equal to the carbon dioxide released by cars.
27. What does the underlined word “curtailing” mean in paragraph 4
A. Guaranteeing. B. Limiting. C. Increasing. D. Embracing.
28. Which of the following is the most suitable structure of the text
A. B. C. D.
C
After 11 years, China has finally completed its Tiangong space station with the docking (对
接) its Mengtian lab module, establishing the Tiangong as the second operational space station
apart from the US-led, multinational International Space Station (ISS).
On November 1, the Mengtian lab module, the third and final part of its Tiangong space
station docked with the core Tianhe module 13 hours after being launched. Next, the Tianhe and
Mengtian modules will dock with the Wentian lab module, completing Tiangong’s T-shaped basic
structure. The 17.88-meter-long, 23-ton Mengtian module is the heaviest operational single-cabin
active spacecraft in orbit. Mengtian consists of a workcabin, a cargo airlock cabin, a payload cabin
and resource cabin. In addition, it has eight scientific experiment cabinets and 37 extravehicul
installation options, enabling more in-cabin and out-cabin experiments in a microgravity
environment. Mengtian also carries the world’s first space atomic clock system, consisting of a
hydrogen clock, rubidium clock and an optical clock. It is the world’s most accurate time and
frequency system, but to support fundamental physics research.
One of the more ambitious aims of China’s space program is to position the country as a
leading provider of space-based international public goods and services, such as planetary defense.
Last month, Asia Times reported about China’s plans to conduct its first asteroid deflection test in
2025 or 2026. China has also taken pioneering steps in Marsexploration. A good example is the
completion of China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission, which has provided medium and high-resolution
photos of the planet’s surface. China has also stated that it is willing to share scientific data from
its Tianwen-l mission at an appropriate time and that scientists are welcome to apply for research
over the data.
Moreover, China has also announced plans to send men to the moon, paving the potential
way for its future settlement and economic use. And China and Russia plan to establish a
permanent moon base by 2027. The proposed permanent moon base, the International Lunar
4
Research Station(ILRS), is seen as an experimental complex designed for multiple scientific
activities.
The Tiangong is open to all UN member states,with nine projects involving 17 countries
including Kenya, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and Peru, alongside 23 entities selected among the first
batch of scientific experiments to be carried on board the station. Reflecting China’s open-door
space policy, the Tiangong is designed to be “inclusive” and adaptable for foreign astronauts.
29. What can we infer about the Mengtian module according to the text
A. It has docked with the Wentian lab module.
B. It is an significant part of Tiangong space station.
C. It is made up of four scientific experiment cabins.
D. It is heavier than all the other single-cabin spaceships.
30. Why did the author mention “China’s plan” in paragraph 4
A. To make a prediction. B. To present a fact. C. To clarify a concept. D. To explain a rule.
31. How will China explore the moon
A. By sending men to the settlement of the moon.
B. By providing clear photos of the planet’s surface.
C. By sharing scientific data from its Tianwen-1 mission.
D. By setting up a moon base for multiple scientific activities.
32. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. International Space Station Suffers Wear and Tear
B. Side by Side, China Works with UN Member States
C. Step by Step, China Finds Its Footing in Outer Space
D. Tiangong Space Station Is Established Little by Little

Classical music is one of the most complex, and beautiful forms of music. It can be enjoyed
by people of all ages, and can be appreciated in many different ways.
33 These elements include melody(旋律), harmony, rhythm, dynamics(力度), and
timbre(音质). Melody is the primary musical element, and is what people typically think of when
they think of music. 34 Rhythm is the organization of time, and is created by the pulse
or beat of the music. Dynamics are the changes in volume, and timbre is the quality of the sound.
Once you have a basic understanding of these elements, you can start to appreciate classical
music on a deeper level. 35 Pay attention to the four elements mentioned above.
Understand the story it is telling. Try to find out how the different sounds work together. Feel the
beat, and sense the changes in volume. Try to appreciate the different sounds.
36 Seeing the musicians play, and watching the conductor guide the orchestra, can
be an amazing experience. You can watch videos of classical music performances online, or attend
a live concert.
Finally, classical music can be appreciated through its history and culture. Learning about the
musicians, the pieces, and the different movements in classical music can help you understand and
appreciate it more. 37

I’m not athletic. In high school, for example, I joined the soccer team for a year, ending up as
a 38 .
In 2020, I was in a difficult stage of life and wanted something to fight for. Therefore, though I’d
never run even 5 kilometers before, I entered the lottery (抽签) to run a marathon, a 39 where
only a small number of people are randomly selected. Somehow, my name was 40 .
I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. But even
one kilometer proved too hard, so I adjusted the 41 . I ran several minutes at a time, and then
walked to catch my 42 . I repeated that for months. Besides, I read books, talked to friends
and found coaches. Step by step, I became a 43 .
Then the 44 day came when I showed up at the starting line with other competitors.
Did I win Certainly not! Did I run 42 kilometers, cross the finishing line joyfully and receive my
medal proudly 45 !
Last year I decided to 46 my own business: a performing arts training centre for kids.
I’ve always loved kids and arts, but I was 47 of business. Nevertheless, because of the
marathon, I had a model for how to 48 it—step by step.
So, again: I read books, talked to friends and found 49 . Through it all, I became a
successful entrepreneur. I keep my Marathon medal above my desk not to 50 my achievements
but to remind myself every big goal can always be 51 into individual steps. When you
combine enough steps, you will 52 to the finishing line.

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。
It was a lazy Sunday morning, the type of day that getting out of bed requires an effort. When
Marilyn and I entered the kitchen, Lori was already at the table doing her homework. Seeing us
coming, she, suddenly, stood and faced me, “Why are there more pictures of Lisa than there are of
me ” she asked. Lisa is our older daughter.
I stared back, not understanding the question. Lori turned and left the room. Caught off-guard
by the question, I looked at Marilyn. “Are there more pictures of Lisa than of Lori ” Marilyn
shrugged and raised her eyebrows in a motion of puzzlement. “Are you aware that there are more
pictures of Lisa than Lori ” I added.
Marilyn said, “I’ve never counted them. I don’t know.”
Marilyn’s answer was the same as my thoughts, “I hadn’t realized that there was any
significant difference. Now why would Lori ask such a question ” I asked.
Marilyn just shook her head and stared back at me. After a few minutes of thought she said,
“When Lisa was born, you were taking photographs. You hardly went anywhere without a camera.
When Lori was born, you were involved in colored slides (幻灯片). There must be hundreds of
slides of Lori somewhere in the house that Lori has never seen or doesn’t remember.”
After digesting Marilyn’s remarks, I agreed. “After Lori leaves, we’ll look for those slides.
Who knows, we may find more slides of Lori than pictures of Lisa,” I joked.
Later that afternoon, when we were alone, we went into the basement where we had stored
the boxes that we had brought from our previous home. It wasn’t long before we discovered the
trays of slides, and for the rest of the afternoon we looked at each tray, pointing out those slides
that highlighted Lori.
“What are you going to do ” Marilyn asked.
“It’s her birthday in a few weeks,” I said, “We’ll select about one hundred slides with Lori
and convert them into pictures, put them into an album and give to her as a gift. I don’t know if
the album will answer her question, but at least she’ll know that we care enough to find her an
answer.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150左右：
2. 开头已给出。
Over the next few days, we secretly went through all of our slides. _____________________

On November 24, before leaving for work, I opened her door and slipped the album inside.__

Dear fellow students,
On behalf of School Students’ Union, I call on all of my fellow students to do what we can to
become well-rounded.
Firstly, we should develop a positive attitude to life. Life consists of not only happy moments
but also hard times. We should be brave when facing difficulties. Secondly, we must study hard
because knowledge is power. If we have the power, we can help to build our country and enjoy
life better. What we ought to do, of course, goes far beyond our studies. We should take
responsibility in all aspects of our everyday life.
If we do those things well, we will be able to experience an enjoyable and rewarding teenage
life. It’s time for us to take action.
(二) 读后续写 (25分)
Over the next few days, we secretly went through all of our slides. We kept on selecting and
rejecting pictures until we were satisfied. Those pictures brought back memories of the early years
of our marriage and we hoped they showed how we felt about our daughter. Marilyn had them
converted into photographs. Then, we placed them into an album with a birthday card explaining
why her mother and I had put the album together. When the album was finally finished, we hid the
book until her birthday.
On November 24, before leaving for work, I opened her door and slipped the album inside.
Then I left the house and drove to work. I was about to enter the office when the telephone rang. I
picked up the receiver, and on the other end of the receiver, a tiny voice spoke, “I love you,
Daddy, ”she said and disconnected. The receiver remained against my ear for a few more minutes
before I placed it on the telephone. Our message had been delivered and acknowledged.
