Frances McGlannan grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and moved to Miami in the early 1950s with her husband. The couple had two children, Michael and Genevieve, and by the time Michael entered elementary school it was clear that he had difficulty reading.
She decided to tackle it and find out what it was herself because she wasn’t getting any answers to the questions she was asking. McGlannan searched the library for information and started working at the University of Miami Reading Clinic, where she tutored children and helped conduct research. She also founded the Dade Reading Foundation, a volunteer group that shared information about dyslexia (阅读障碍) with teachers, parents and the local school board.
In the early 1960s, McGlannan traveled to Europe, where she learned new techniques to help children overcome learning disabilities. She also adapted multi-sensory techniques to help dyslexic children learn to read. In 1964, MeGlannan founded the McGlannan School for children with dyslexia and related learning difficulties.
McGlannan did all of this while raising two children and often worked past midnight to get everything done. However, balancing work and family wasn’t the only challenge McGlannan faced. She was also ridiculed by educators and doctors who believed children with dyslexia couldn’t be taught. But McGlannan was not discouraged. In addition to running the school, she convinced a publisher to start a scientific journal devoted to the study of learning disabilities, where she served as one of the editors. She also helped pass the 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act, which established the rights of children with disabilities. And in the 1980s, McGlannan reached out to teachers and publications in Latin America to share information about dyslexia and teaching techniques in Spanish.
McGlannan’s tireless efforts affected thousands of children in South Florida. Her legacy (遗产) continues through her family and through her school. Her daughter Genevieve is an educator, and Michael and his wife help run the McGlannan School. One of her grandchildren, who has dyslexia, even attended the school as a child.

She also helped pass the 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act, which established the rights of children with disabilities. And in the 1980s, McGlannan reached out to teachers and publications in Latin America to share information about dyslexia and teaching techniques in Spanish.”（除了管理学校，她还说服一家出版商创办了一份专门研究学习障碍的科学杂志，她担任编辑之一。她还帮助通过了1975年的《所有残疾儿童教育法》，该法案确立了残疾儿童的权利。在20世纪80年代，麦格兰南接触了拉丁美洲的教师和出版物，分享了有关阅读障碍和西班牙语教学技巧的信息。）可知，第四段主要讲的是麦格兰南为帮助有学习障碍的儿童所做的努力。故选C项。

Wonder was published in February of 2012 and was R.J. Palacio’s first novel. One day Palacio took her son to buy ice cream and saw him cry when a girl with facial birth deformities (畸形) sat next to him. Later, while listening to Natalie Merchant’s song “Wonder”, Palacio reflected on the situation and began writing the novel, hoping that a tense scene from her own life could turn into a valuable lesson.
The story centers around Auggie, a ten-year-old boy. Auggie doesn’t look like the rest of us. He was born with a facial deformity that has caused the first person who ever sees him to faint (晕倒). When Auggie’s parents sent him to a regular school, he must face the challenges of fitting in with his classmates and dealing with bullying (霸凌) and exclusion. Along the way. Auggie makes new friends, learns to cope with his condition, and teaches others about the power of acceptance and kindness.
The book is divided into several parts, each told by a different character, allowing the reader to see the events through the eyes of various characters. The themes of acceptance, kindness, and family relationships are central to the book’s messages. However, some readers may find the plot predictable, and others might want a more diverse and inclusive cast of characters.
Despite this, Wonder is a beautifully written and deeply affecting book that offers a powerful message of sympathy and acceptance. By exploring the experiences of Auggie and those around him, the book encourages readers to see beyond appearances and embrace our differences. Its themes and messages are both timely and timeless, and its impact on readers of all ages is undeniable.
8. Where did R.J. Palacio’s inspiration for Wonder come from
A. Her son’s love for ice cream. B. A song for kids with deformities.

According to a new study, human noise is a “major global pollutant” that harms a wider range of animal life than we tend to think. Published in the journal Biology Letters, the study suggests noise pollution not only harms lots of animals, but also threatens the survival of more than 100 different species.
Lots of species rely on sound for communication, for example, including many amphibians, birds, insects and mammals which use sound for vital business like finding mates or warning about predators (捕猎者). If noise pollution drowns out enough of these messages. it can threaten survival and the stability of their populations.
On the other hand, noise pollution can make it harder for some predators to find food Bats and owls rely on sound to hunt, for instance, which may not work if noise pollution drowns out the sounds of their prey like insects and mice. Even if noise pollution is mild, it might still force them to spend more time and energy searching for food, which could be enough to cause a decline.
Noise pollution is a well-known risk for whales and dolphins, but it threatens other sea animals, too. The researchers cite fish larvae, which are easily drawn to the sounds of coral reefs (珊瑚礁). This is how they find suitable habitats, but if their journey features too much noise from ships and other human sources, more fish larvae may get lost or move into wrong reefs, potentially reducing their lifespan.
Similarly, noise pollution influences the way animals migrate (迁徙), which in turn can have chain effects for ecosystems along migration routes. Some migrating birds avoid areas with noise pollution, the researchers note, which may change not only where they travel, but also where they establish long-term homes and raise their young. Many ecosystems and non-migrating species have come to depend on the arrival of migrating birds, and many others may be unprepared for their sudden absence, so this could cause a series of ecological changes.
“Noise must be considered as a global pollutant and we need to develop strategies to protect animals from noise for their livelihoods,” says Kunc, the lead author of the study.
12. What is the new study mainly about
A. The sources of noise pollution. B. The dangers of noise pollution to animals.
C. Why people should lower noise levels. D. How animals deal with noise pollution.
13. What can we infer about bats and owls from paragraph 3
A. They are very sensitive to sound. B. Their hunting abilities are weakening.
C. They are easily attracted by sounds. D. Their populations are sharply declining.
14. How may noise pollution affect migrating animals
A. They may abandon their young. B. They may give up their migration.
C. They may change their migration routes. D. They may develop new eating habits.
15. Which of the following may Kunc agree with
A. Measures must be taken to reduce noise pollution.
B. Noise pollution affects the way animals reproduce.
C. Migrating animals will die out due to noise pollution.
D. Nature reserves should be built to stop the loss of habitats.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了根据一项新的研究，人类噪音是一种“主要的全球污染物”，对动物生命的危害比我们想象的要大得多。发表在《生物学快报》杂志上的这项研究表明，噪音污染不仅伤害了许多动物，还威胁到100多种不同物种的生存。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a new study, human noise is a “major global pollutant” that harms a wider range of animal life than we tend to think. Published in the journal Biology Letters, the study suggests noise pollution not only harms lots of animals, but also threatens the survival of more than 100 different species.”（根据一项新的研究，人类噪音是一种“主要的全球污染物”，对动物生命的危害比我们想象的要大得多。发表在《生物学快报》杂志上的这项研究表明，噪音污染不仅伤害了许多动物，还威胁到100多种不同物种的生存。）可知，这项新研究的主要内容是噪音污染对动物的危害。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“On the other hand, noise pollution can make it harder for some predators to find food Bats and owls rely on sound to hunt, for instance, which may not work if noise pollution drowns out the sounds of their prey like insects and mice. Even if noise pollution is mild, it might still force them to spend more time and energy searching for food, which could be enough to cause a decline.”（另一方面，噪音污染会使一些捕食者更难找到食物，例如蝙蝠和猫头鹰依靠声音捕食，如果噪音污染淹没了昆虫和老鼠等猎物的声音，这可能就行不通了。即使噪音污染是轻微的，它仍然可能迫使它们花更多的时间和精力寻找食物，这可能足以导致数量下降。）可知，从第三段我们可以推断出关于蝙蝠和猫头鹰，它们对声音很敏感。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Similarly, noise pollution influences the way animals migrate (迁徙), which in turn can have chain effects for ecosystems along migration routes. Some migrating birds avoid areas with noise pollution, the researchers note, which may change not only where they travel, but also where they establish long-term homes and raise their young.”（同样，噪音污染也会影响动物的迁徙方式，这反过来又会对迁徙路线上的生态系统产生连锁效应。研究人员指出，一些候鸟会避开噪音污染的地区，这不仅会改变它们的旅行地点，还会改变它们建立长期家园和抚养后代的地方。）可知，噪音污染对迁徙动物的影响是它们可能会改变迁徙路线。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Noise must be considered as a global pollutant and we need to develop strategies to protect animals from noise for their livelihoods,” says Kunc, the lead author of the study.”（该研究的主要作者Kunc说：“噪音必须被视为一种全球性的污染物，我们需要制定策略来保护动物免受噪音的影响，以维持它们的生计。”）可推知，昆克可能同意的观点是必须采取措施减少噪音污染。故选A项。

【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：地震发生在甘肃省西南部与青海省接壤的积石山县，这是一个多山的地区，部分居民是藏族、回族、东乡族和撒拉族。region意为“区域”，为可数名词，句中用的单数，前应用不定冠词修饰，mountainous为辅音音素开头，前用a修饰。故填a。

考察介词。句意：死者中，100人在甘肃，11人在青海。根据句意，此处表达“在死者中”之意，应用介词of，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Of。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国领导人习近平主席迅速呼吁全力搜救和救治伤员。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词called，所以treat用非谓语形式，位于介词in后，用动名词形式。故填treating。

考查名词。句意：他还敦促尽快部署救援物资和修复基础设施，因为该地区处于高海拔地区，冬季天气寒冷。分析句子结构，根据and可知，空处和前文的hasty deployment of relief materials一起作宾语，所以空处应填名词，repair意为“维修工作”，为可数名词，此处用复数形式。故填repairs。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：美国地质调查局说，这次地震的震级为5.9级，并报告了几次余震。根据前文“The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 5.9”以及后文“reported several aftershocks.”可知，两句是并列关系，用and连接。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：救援队告诉中国媒体，冰冻的道路使得车辆很难进入受影响最严重的积石山县的城镇和村庄。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词made，所以affect用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语area之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语。故填affected。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：救援人员现在的平均气温约为14华氏度，远低于冰点。空前是介词，所以空处填名词，freeze的名词形式freezing意为“冰点”。故填freezing。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：大约10小时后，再往西，中国与吉尔吉斯斯坦边境附近的新疆地区发生5.5级地震。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，根据句意，此处表达“再往西”之意，用比较级，far的比较级有farther或者further。故填farther或者further。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：大约10小时后，再往西，中国与吉尔吉斯斯坦边境附近的新疆地区发生5.5级地震。分析句子结构可知，strike作本句谓语，描述的是已发生的事，句子时态用一般过去时。故填struck。

Eva, an ambitious and kind-hearted 14-year-old girl, couldn’t be more excited to start her new job delivering newspapers in her neighborhood. All her friends boasted (夸耀) about their part-time jobs, and Eva couldn’t wait to prove herself as a responsible young adult.
On her first day, Eva got up before daybreak, drank a cup of strong coffee, and went out to load her bicycle’s basket with newspapers for her rounds. As she set off, the early morning sun rose above the horizon, bathing the sleepy streets in its soft, golden glow.
Riding along, she skillfully tossed (投挥) each paper onto the doorstep of her neighbors’ homes, accompanied by the happy songs of morning birds. Eva took pride in her accuracy and determination to do a good job.
As she approached her final delivery, however, she saw an unexpected scene. Mrs. Green, an elderly widow who lived alone with her dog, sat on her front steps, weeping softly. Noticing Eva approach, she wiped her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
Concerned Eva stopped her bike and walked over to Mrs. Green. “Is everything alright Can I help you with anything ” she asked, sincerity shining through her voice. Mrs. Green hesitated, but eventually managed to share her story. She explained that her beloved dog. Sam, had gone missing earlier, and her poor health limited her ability to search for him. The old lady wept as she expressed her fears of losing her best friend.

Together, they formed a search team and began to search the neighborhood for Sam. As Eva rode back to check on Mrs. Green, she noticed something unusual. A small figure curled up at the end of the street near a park. Eva’s heart leaped as she recognized the lost Sam. Eva called Mrs. Green with the good news and hurriedly sent Sam back to Mrs. Green.
As Mrs. Green saw Sam approaching, her eyes sparkled with joyful tears. She embraced her pet and thanked Eva for her kindness. The people who helped search for Sam also praised Eva for helping Mrs. Green. That day, Eva didn’t just fulfill her job responsibilities. Eva’s act of kindness brought relief to Mrs. Green and strengthened the sense of unity within the neighborhood. Inspired by Eva’s dedication and selflessness, people in the neighborhood began to look out for one another, offering a helping hand whenever it was needed.

Frances McGlannan grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and moved to Miami in the early 1950s with her husband. The couple had two children, Michael and Genevieve, and by the time Michael entered elementary school it was clear that he had difficulty reading.
She decided to tackle it and find out what it was herself because she wasn’t getting any answers to the questions she was asking. McGlannan searched the library for information and started working at the University of Miami Reading Clinic, where she tutored children and helped conduct research. She also founded the Dade Reading Foundation, a volunteer group that shared information about dyslexia (阅读障碍) with teachers, parents and the local school board.
In the early 1960s, McGlannan traveled to Europe, where she learned new techniques to help children overcome learning disabilities. She also adapted multi-sensory techniques to help dyslexic children learn to read. In 1964, MeGlannan founded the McGlannan School for children with dyslexia and related learning difficulties.
McGlannan did all of this while raising two children and often worked past midnight to get everything done. However, balancing work and family wasn’t the only challenge McGlannan faced. She was also ridiculed by educators and doctors who believed children with dyslexia couldn’t be taught. But McGlannan was not discouraged. In addition to running the school, she convinced a publisher to start a scientific journal devoted to the study of learning disabilities, where she served as one of the editors. She also helped pass the 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act, which established the rights of children with disabilities. And in the 1980s, McGlannan reached out to teachers and publications in Latin America to share information about dyslexia and teaching techniques in Spanish.
McGlannan’s tireless efforts affected thousands of children in South Florida. Her legacy (遗产) continues through her family and through her school. Her daughter Genevieve is an educator, and Michael and his wife help run the McGlannan School. One of her grandchildren, who has dyslexia, even attended the school as a child.

Wonder was published in February of 2012 and was R.J. Palacio’s first novel. One day Palacio took her son to buy ice cream and saw him cry when a girl with facial birth deformities (畸形) sat next to him. Later, while listening to Natalie Merchant’s song “Wonder”, Palacio reflected on the situation and began writing the novel, hoping that a tense scene from her own life could turn into a valuable lesson.
The story centers around Auggie, a ten-year-old boy. Auggie doesn’t look like the rest of us. He was born with a facial deformity that has caused the first person who ever sees him to faint (晕倒). When Auggie’s parents sent him to a regular school, he must face the challenges of fitting in with his classmates and dealing with bullying (霸凌) and exclusion. Along the way. Auggie makes new friends, learns to cope with his condition, and teaches others about the power of acceptance and kindness.
The book is divided into several parts, each told by a different character, allowing the reader to see the events through the eyes of various characters. The themes of acceptance, kindness, and family relationships are central to the book’s messages. However, some readers may find the plot predictable, and others might want a more diverse and inclusive cast of characters.
Despite this, Wonder is a beautifully written and deeply affecting book that offers a powerful message of sympathy and acceptance. By exploring the experiences of Auggie and those around him, the book encourages readers to see beyond appearances and embrace our differences. Its themes and messages are both timely and timeless, and its impact on readers of all ages is undeniable.

According to a new study, human noise is a “major global pollutant” that harms a wider range of animal life than we tend to think. Published in the journal Biology Letters, the study suggests noise pollution not only harms lots of animals, but also threatens the survival of more than 100 different species.
Lots of species rely on sound for communication, for example, including many amphibians, birds, insects and mammals which use sound for vital business like finding mates or warning about predators (捕猎者). If noise pollution drowns out enough of these messages. it can threaten survival and the stability of their populations.
On the other hand, noise pollution can make it harder for some predators to find food Bats and owls rely on sound to hunt, for instance, which may not work if noise pollution drowns out the sounds of their prey like insects and mice. Even if noise pollution is mild, it might still force them to spend more time and energy searching for food, which could be enough to cause a decline.
Noise pollution is a well-known risk for whales and dolphins, but it threatens other sea animals, too. The researchers cite fish larvae, which are easily drawn to the sounds of coral reefs (珊瑚礁). This is how they find suitable habitats, but if their journey features too much noise from ships and other human sources, more fish larvae may get lost or move into wrong reefs, potentially reducing their lifespan.
Similarly, noise pollution influences the way animals migrate (迁徙), which in turn can have chain effects for ecosystems along migration routes. Some migrating birds avoid areas with noise pollution, the researchers note, which may change not only where they travel, but also where they establish long-term homes and raise their young. Many ecosystems and non-migrating species have come to depend on the arrival of migrating birds, and many others may be unprepared for their sudden absence, so this could cause a series of ecological changes.
“Noise must be considered as a global pollutant and we need to develop strategies to protect animals from noise for their livelihoods,” says Kunc, the lead author of the study.
12. What is the new study mainly about
A. The sources of noise pollution. B. The dangers of noise pollution to animals.
C. Why people should lower noise levels. D. How animals deal with noise pollution.
13. What can we infer about bats and owls from paragraph 3
A. They are very sensitive to sound. B. Their hunting abilities are weakening.
C. They are easily attracted by sounds. D. Their populations are sharply declining.
14. How may noise pollution affect migrating animals
A. They may abandon their young. B. They may give up their migration.
C. They may change their migration routes. D. They may develop new eating habits.
15. Which of the following may Kunc agree with
A. Measures must be taken to reduce noise pollution.
B. Noise pollution affects the way animals reproduce.
C. Migrating animals will die out due to noise pollution.
D. Nature reserves should be built to stop the loss of habitats.

Eva, an ambitious and kind-hearted 14-year-old girl, couldn’t be more excited to start her new job delivering newspapers in her neighborhood. All her friends boasted (夸耀) about their part-time jobs, and Eva couldn’t wait to prove herself as a responsible young adult.
On her first day, Eva got up before daybreak, drank a cup of strong coffee, and went out to load her bicycle’s basket with newspapers for her rounds. As she set off, the early morning sun rose above the horizon, bathing the sleepy streets in its soft, golden glow.
Riding along, she skillfully tossed (投挥) each paper onto the doorstep of her neighbors’ homes, accompanied by the happy songs of morning birds. Eva took pride in her accuracy and determination to do a good job.
As she approached her final delivery, however, she saw an unexpected scene. Mrs. Green, an elderly widow who lived alone with her dog, sat on her front steps, weeping softly. Noticing Eva approach, she wiped her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
Concerned, Eva stopped her bike and walked over to Mrs. Green. “Is everything alright Can I help you with anything ” she asked, sincerity shining through her voice. Mrs. Green hesitated, but eventually managed to share her story. She explained that her beloved dog. Sam, had gone missing earlier, and her poor health limited her ability to search for him.
