Aniza Khan, a young girl from Lahore has devoted her life to rescue animals for the past 10 years. Having about 35 cats and 16 dogs at home, Khan has rescued 1,500 plus animals so far. Taking inspiration from her parents, Khan has been rescuing animals since childhood.
Currently working completely in welfare, Khan has been financing her project by herself along with family and friends. She has registered a web page to call for donations, which helps her with some of her funds.
Talking about her experience in rescue, she stated, “Each animal has their own lifestyle, making each one of them different with individual needs. We cannot keep all animals together. We have to keep them separately. It not only is good for their environment but also helps in case of any viral spread of disease.”
Due to the lack of space in her home, Khan has bought land to set up her own animal shelter. Along with rescuing, Khan has been feeding stray (无主的) cats and dogs.
Animal rescuing culture is not found in the country, where dog killing campaigns are run by the government. Khan mentioned her struggles: “Most of the days I wake up to another cat being thrown on my gate. I have both cats and dogs and it is always hard to protect the new addition. People do not contact and leave them by my doorstep.”
Khan promotes the concept of “Adopt don’t Shop”. She says, “If you are looking for love, you will find it from a stray cat with broken legs. You do not need to have an expensive species to show or get love.”
“We need to understand that animals are living creatures just like us humans, having needs and a heart just like us. We need to take care of them because they can’t voice their own needs,” she says.
4. What does Khan do to keep the rescued animals healthy
A. Keep them in single shelters. B. Satisfy their curiosity.
C. Maintain a balanced diet. D. Feed them together.
5. What does paragraph 5 show
A. The reasons for feeding animals. B. The increase of rescued animals.
C. The tendency of protecting animals. D. The facts of animals being treated badly.
6. What does Khan call for people to do with strays
A. Take them into their own family. B. Keep these strays healthy.
C. Raise expensive species of them. D. Treat their leg injuries.
7. What do Khan’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. Voicing a common concern of the whole society.
B. Raising the awareness of protecting endangered animals.
C. Spreading the message of coexistence and mercy to animals.
D. Promoting better understanding between humans and animals.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了小女孩Aniza Khan在过去的10年里一直致力于拯救动物，到目前为止，她已经拯救了1500多只动物。她呼吁人们收养并保护这些动物。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We cannot keep all animals together. We have to keep them separately. It not only is good for their environment but also helps in case of any viral spread of disease. (我们不能把所有的动物都养在一起。我们必须把它们分开。这不仅有利于他们的环境，而且有助于防止任何病毒传播疾病)”可知，Khan把动物放在单独的收容所来保持这些获救动物的健康。故选A。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Animal rescuing culture is not found in the country, where dog killing campaigns are run by the government. Khan mentioned her struggles: “Most of the days I wake up to another cat being thrown on my gate. I have both cats and dogs and it is always hard to protect the new addition. People do not contact and leave them by my doorstep.”(这个国家没有动物救助文化，杀狗运动是由政府发起的。可汗提到了她的挣扎：“大多数时候，我醒来时看到另一只猫被扔到我的门上。我有猫和狗，总是很难保护新增加的。人们不会联系我，只会把它们放在我家门口。”)”可知，第5段说明了被救助动物的增加。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Khan promotes the concept of “Adopt don’t Shop”. She says, “If you are looking for love, you will find it from a stray cat with broken legs. You do not need to have an expensive species to show or get love.”(可汗提倡“收养而不是购物”的理念。她说:“如果你在寻找爱，你会从一只断腿的流浪猫身上找到它。你不需要有一个昂贵的物种来表达或获得爱。”)”可知，Khan呼吁人们收养流浪狗。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““We need to understand that animals are living creatures just like us humans, having needs and a heart just like us. We need to take care of them because they can’t voice their own needs,” she says.(“我们需要明白，动物和我们人类一样是有生命的生物，和我们一样有需求和一颗心。我们需要照顾他们，因为他们无法表达自己的需求，”她说)”可知，Khan在最后一段的话意思是传播对动物共存和仁慈的信息。故选C。
C
Libraries. They have that reassuring smell of well-read pages, are peaceful, have free Internet and, of course, abundant books.
But guess what There’s a new kind of library sweeping the nation — a tool library — and it’s just as cool, but in all sorts of different ways.
It’s often said that the average electric drill is only used for 11 minutes in its entire lifetime. Granted, it doesn’t take that long to drill a hole, but still — that’s crazy. Yet the majority of households have one, even though DIY is actually a really infrequent activity for most people.
What if you could just borrow tools when you need them, and drop them back so that they can be used by someone else all the time you’re not DIY-ing Well, in some parts of Scotland, you now can. Membership-based tool sharing services are popping up in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Linlithgow and Cumbernauld. They work just like a normal library but instead of books, you can borrow a massive range of tools and equipment when you need them, then drop them back when you’re done.
Zero Waste Scotland’s Andrew Pankhurst recently renovated (翻新) his house using the Stirling Tool Library. He said, “It’s amazing. It had all the tools I was looking for, and some I didn’t even realize I needed.”
And that’s the beauty of a tool library. Borrow a tool, use it for one afternoon at a small amount of cost of buying it and instead of it cluttering up your house gathering dust, it’s back off to a busy life all across town, week in and week out.
The tools available to borrow are mainly received as donations. The tool library will then repair them if needed and PAT test for safety ready to be borrowed and saved from going to landfill.
So next time you have a job to do around the house, why not borrow rather than buy
8. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. The electric drill is worth buying.
B. People dislike to use out-of-date tools.
C. Most of the tools aren’t often used at home.
D. DIY is a really frequent activity for most people.
9. What does Andrew Pankhurst think of the tool library
A. Familiar. B. Practical.
C. Essential. D. Disappointing.
10. What do the underlined words “cluttering up” probably mean
A. Clearing up. B. Piling up. C. Throwing out. D. Breaking up.
11. What might be the best title for the text
A. Borrowing Is the New Buying
B. Please Make a Donation Today
C. When in Doubt, Go to the Library
D. Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在苏格兰兴起的工具图书馆，鉴于大多数工具在家里都不常用，这种图书馆可以为使用者提供很好的服务，避免了使用者花大价钱购买工具，实现了工具的有效流转。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s often said that the average electric drill is only used for 11 minutes in its entire lifetime. (人们常说，普通的电钻在其整个使用寿命中只使用11分钟)”和“Yet the majority of households have one, even though DIY is actually a really infrequent activity for most people. (然而，大多数家庭都有一个，尽管DIY对大多数人来说实际上是一个频率很低的活动)”可知，此处通过普通电钻的实际使用寿命说明人们很少使用它，而且大多数人很少从事DIY活动。由此推知，多数工具在家里都不常用。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Andrew Pankhurst所说的话“It’s amazing. It had all the tools I was looking for, and some I didn’t even realize I needed. (这是惊人的。它有我一直在寻找的所有工具，还有一些我甚至没有意识到我需要)”可知，Andrew Pankhurst表示这个工具图书馆为他提供了所有需要的工具。由此可知，他觉得它是实用的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Borrow a tool, use it for one afternoon at a small amount of cost of buying it (借一个工具，用一个下午，用一个下午，花的钱只是买工具的一小部分)”和“instead of (而不是)”可知，此处描述的是与短暂地借用工具不同的情况，再结合下文“gathering dust (积灰)”可推知，此处指买了工具后，把它堆积在家里，在那里积灰。因此，画线词的意思应该是“堆积，堆满”，与pile up意思相近。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“But guess what There’s a new kind of library sweeping the nation — a tool library — and it’s just as cool, but in all sorts of different ways. (但你猜怎么着？有一种新的图书馆正在席卷全国——工具图书馆——它同样很酷，但方式各不相同)”和最后一段“So next time you have a job to do around the house, why not borrow rather than buy (所以下次你在家里有工作要做的时候，你可以借用而非购买)”可知，文章围绕在苏格兰兴起的工具图书馆展开，介绍了其兴起的背景是大多数工具在家里都不常用，以及它的各种好处，包括可以为使用者提供很好的服务，避免了使用者花大价钱购买工具，实现了工具的有效流转等，作者认为读者有需要的时候可以尝试这种图书馆。因此，A项“借是新的购买方式”准确地概括了工具图书馆的属性，契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
D
In school, we learned the periodic table and were told to recite the alphabet, but nobody forced us to take a class on what emotions are and how they work before we entered the big world. And for many of us, that means understanding how we feel and why can be incredibly difficult.
Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. In layman’s terms, that can translate as being able to predict your emotions and develop coping mechanisms in advance, becoming wise to unhealthy behavior patterns, and even being more in tune with the needs of others.
“Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health,” explains Rachel Vora, psychotherapist and founder of CYP Wellbeing. “When we are able to identify and reflect on our emotional responses, we can understand how this influences our behaviors and in turn, change the way we respond to challenging situations.”
Of course, pinpointing how we feel can often prove difficult. It’s the very reason we turn to general phrases like “I feel blue” or “I’m not myself today”. Vora says this is often because on some level we don’t want to know how we really feel. “We can often try to numb (使麻木), suppress or avoid emotions because they feel overwhelming or distressing and this can often lead to a lack of emotional awareness as we feel disconnected from ourselves,” she explains.
Without emotional awareness, we can also develop emotional blind spots: unhealthy thoughts, behaviors and coping mechanisms that are hidden from our view. Perhaps you may feel self-doubt when you receive negative feedback. Unless you take time for introspection (反省), you’ll remain unaware of these habits. Vora says tuning into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is key. “By identifying our emotional blind spots, we can feel more in control of our emotions, how to improve our mood and also how we respond in challenging situations.”
12. What can we know about people with high emotional awareness
A. They can foresee their emotions.
B. They solve problems ahead of time.
C. They always keep positive attitude.
D. They can avoid unhealthy behaviors.
13. How does Vora view emotional awareness
A. It can be gained without difficulty.
B. It is vital for us to keep mental health.
C It can enable us to respond to challenges easily.
D. It is helpful to understand most people’s emotions.
14 What does the word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. We don’t know how we feel.
B. We lack emotional awareness.
C. We can’t control our emotions.
D. We describe our emotions with difficulty.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. How to control our mood.
B. What to do with our habits.
C. When to practise self-reflection.
D. How to develop emotional awareness.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了情绪意识的重要性，提出了解自己的情绪对于维持良好的心理健康和社交功能的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. In layman’s terms, that can translate as being able to predict your emotions and develop coping mechanisms in advance, becoming wise to unhealthy behavior patterns, and even being more in tune with the needs of others.(然而，研究表明，意识到自己的情绪是非常有益的，情绪意识高的人有更好的社交和情感功能。用外行的话来说，这可以解释为能够预测你的情绪，提前发展应对机制，对不健康的行为模式变得明智，甚至更能与他人的需求保持一致。)”可知，情绪意识高的人有更好的社交和情感功能，能够提前预测自己的情绪。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health,” explains Rachel Vora, psychotherapist and founder of CYP Wellbeing. “When we are able to identify and reflect on our emotional responses, we can understand how this influences our behaviors and in turn, change the way we respond to challenging situations.”(“情绪意识不仅是能够识别和理解我们自己的情绪，也能理解他人的情绪。这对保持良好的心理健康是绝对必要的，”心理治疗师、CYP wellness的创始人Rachel Vora解释说。“当我们能够识别和反思我们的情绪反应时，我们就能理解这是如何影响我们的行为的，进而改变我们应对挑战的方式。”)”可知，Vora提到情绪意识是心理健康的重要组成部分，因为它可以帮助我们理解和管理自己的情绪，从而更好地应对挑战和压力。因此，Vora认为情绪意识对于保持心理健康非常重要。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Of course, pinpointing how we feel can often prove difficult. It’s the very reason we turn to general phrases like “I feel blue” or “I’m not myself today”.(当然，准确地指出我们的感受往往是困难的。这就是为什么我们会说“我感觉很沮丧”或“我今天不是我自己”。)”可知，Vora所说的“this”指的是我们很难准确表达出自己的感受。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Without emotional awareness, we can also develop emotional blind spots: unhealthy thoughts, behaviors and coping mechanisms that are hidden from our view. Perhaps you may feel self-doubt when you receive negative feedback. Unless you take time for introspection (反省), you’ll remain unaware of these habits. Vora says tuning into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is key. “By identifying our emotional blind spots, we can feel more in control of our emotions, how to improve our mood and also how we respond in challenging situations.”(如果没有情感意识，我们也会形成情感盲点：不健康的想法、行为和应对机制，这些都是我们看不到的。也许当你收到负面反馈时，你会感到自我怀疑。除非你花时间自省，否则你不会意识到这些习惯。Vora说，调整自己的情绪，诚实地反思自己的感受是关键。“通过识别我们的情绪盲点，我们可以更好地控制我们的情绪，如何改善我们的情绪，以及我们如何应对具有挑战性的情况。”)”可知，最后一段讲述了情感意识的重要性以及提出我们应该如何培养我们的情感意识。故选D。

47. 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。
Lian gazed awesomely at the enormous redwood trees towering overhead. Her family had toured many fantastic historic sites during their vacation to Northern California. Visiting the splendid redwoods, something Lian had always wanted to do, was the icing on the cake.
Lian’s father, Mr. Yee, interrupted her thoughts. “Shake a leg everyone,” he said, clapping his hands quickly. “We don’t want to miss our flight.”
Lian and her older brother Shing hurried back to the family’s rental car. Their mother was already in the front passenger seat, anxiously tapping her fingertips against the window. Lian knew her mother was worried about missing their flight home. Mrs. Yee had wanted to stay close to the airport during the last morning of their vacation, but everyone else wanted to see the giant redwood trees. She finally gave in.
Mr. Yee slid into the driver’s seat. “We have two hours before we need to check in at the airport,” he said, checking his watch. “Traffic of the city shouldn’t be a problem at this time of day. We’ll have plenty of time to spare.”
Lian admired the trees as they drove through the park. Shing’s attention, however, was focused elsewhere. “Hey, Dad, I think you were supposed to turn there,” he said, pointing over his shoulder at a road marker. “Good catch, Shing,” replied Mr. Yee. It took several minutes to find a place to turn around on the narrow road. They retraced (折回) their route and tried again. This time, Lian and Shing kept their eyes wide open watching for markers. They successfully exited the park.
Lian and Shing were chatting quietly when they heard a loud“Bang”. Lian’s side of the car suddenly sunk low to the ground. Mr. Yee calmly slowed down and pulled the car to the side of the road. “Everybody stay in the car,” he ordered. He turned on the warning lights and got out to inspect the car. “The axle(轴) is damaged,” he sighed.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
Mr. Yee telephoned the rental car company. The representative on the other end of the line was apologetic but explained that they were unable to send a replacement car in such a short notice. Panic began to set in for the Yee family. As they sat stranded on the side of the road, a private car approached slowly. The driver, a middle-aged man, saw their distress and stopped to offer assistance. He quickly assessed the situation and offered to take them to the airport in his car.
Para 2:
They swiftly piled into the private car. Relief washed over the Yee family as they got into the private car. The man introduced himself as a local resident and offered to help them in any way he could. As they drove towards the airport, the Yee family felt a sense of gratitude for the kindness of a stranger. They arrived at the airport with just enough time to spare and boarded their flight with a renewed sense of adventure and gratitude for the kindness of others.

Aniza Khan, a young girl from Lahore has devoted her life to rescue animals for the past 10 years. Having about 35 cats and 16 dogs at home, Khan has rescued 1,500 plus animals so far. Taking inspiration from her parents, Khan has been rescuing animals since childhood.
Currently working completely in welfare, Khan has been financing her project by herself along with family and friends. She has registered a web page to call for donations, which helps her with some of her funds.
Talking about her experience in rescue, she stated, “Each animal has their own lifestyle, making each one of them different with individual needs. We cannot keep all animals together. We have to keep them separately. It not only is good for their environment but also helps in case of any viral spread of disease.”
Due to the lack of space in her home, Khan has bought land to set up her own animal shelter. Along with rescuing, Khan has been feeding stray (无主的) cats and dogs.
Animal rescuing culture is not found in the country, where dog killing campaigns are run by the government. Khan mentioned her struggles: “Most of the days I wake up to another cat being thrown on my gate. I have both cats and dogs and it is always hard to protect the new addition. People do not contact and leave them by my doorstep.”
Khan promotes the concept of “Adopt don’t Shop”. She says, “If you are looking for love, you will find it from a stray cat with broken legs. You do not need to have an expensive species to show or get love.”
“We need to understand that animals are living creatures just like us humans, having needs and a heart just like us. We need to take care of them because they can’t voice their own needs,” she says.
4. What does Khan do to keep the rescued animals healthy
A. Keep them in single shelters. B. Satisfy their curiosity.
C. Maintain a balanced diet. D. Feed them together.
5. What does paragraph 5 show
A. The reasons for feeding animals. B. The increase of rescued animals.
C. The tendency of protecting animals. D. The facts of animals being treated badly.
6. What does Khan call for people to do with strays
A. Take them into their own family. B. Keep these strays healthy.
C. Raise expensive species of them. D. Treat their leg injuries.
7. What do Khan’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. Voicing a common concern of the whole society.
B. Raising the awareness of protecting endangered animals.
C Spreading the message of coexistence and mercy to animals.
D. Promoting better understanding between humans and animals.
C
Libraries. They have that reassuring smell of well-read pages, are peaceful, have free Internet and, of course, abundant books.
But guess what There’s a new kind of library sweeping the nation — a tool library — and it’s just as cool, but in all sorts of different ways.
It’s often said that the average electric drill is only used for 11 minutes in its entire lifetime. Granted, it doesn’t take that long to drill a hole, but still — that’s crazy. Yet the majority of households have one, even though DIY is actually a really infrequent activity for most people.
What if you could just borrow tools when you need them, and drop them back so that they can be used by someone else all the time you’re not DIY-ing Well, in some parts of Scotland, you now can. Membership-based tool sharing services are popping up in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Linlithgow and Cumbernauld. They work just like a normal library but instead of books, you can borrow a massive range of tools and equipment when you need them, then drop them back when you’re done.
Zero Waste Scotland’s Andrew Pankhurst recently renovated (翻新) his house using the Stirling Tool Library. He said, “It’s amazing. It had all the tools I was looking for, and some I didn’t even realize I needed.”
And that’s the beauty of a tool library. Borrow a tool, use it for one afternoon at a small amount of cost of buying it and instead of it cluttering up your house gathering dust, it’s back off to a busy life all across town, week in and week out.
The tools available to borrow are mainly received as donations. The tool library will then repair them if needed and PAT test for safety ready to be borrowed and saved from going to landfill.
So next time you have a job to do around the house, why not borrow rather than buy
8. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. The electric drill is worth buying.
B. People dislike to use out-of-date tools.
C. Most of the tools aren’t often used at home.
D. DIY is a really frequent activity for most people.
9. What does Andrew Pankhurst think of the tool library
A. Familiar. B. Practical.
C. Essential. D. Disappointing.
10. What do the underlined words “cluttering up” probably mean
A. Clearing up. B. Piling up. C. Throwing out. D. Breaking up.
11 What might be the best title for the text
A Borrowing Is the New Buying
B. Please Make a Donation Today
C. When in Doubt, Go to the Library
D. Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader

In school, we learned the periodic table and were told to recite the alphabet, but nobody forced us to take a class on what emotions are and how they work before we entered the big world. And for many of us, that means understanding how we feel and why can be incredibly difficult.
Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. In layman’s terms, that can translate as being able to predict your emotions and develop coping mechanisms in advance, becoming wise to unhealthy behavior patterns, and even being more in tune with the needs of others.
“Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health,” explains Rachel Vora, psychotherapist and founder of CYP Wellbeing. “When we are able to identify and reflect on our emotional responses, we can understand how this influences our behaviors and in turn, change the way we respond to challenging situations.”
Of course, pinpointing how we feel can often prove difficult. It’s the very reason we turn to general phrases like “I feel blue” or “I’m not myself today”. Vora says this is often because on some level we don’t want to know how we really feel. “We can often try to numb (使麻木), suppress or avoid emotions because they feel overwhelming or distressing and this can often lead to a lack of emotional awareness as we feel disconnected from ourselves,” she explains.
Without emotional awareness, we can also develop emotional blind spots: unhealthy thoughts, behaviors and coping mechanisms that are hidden from our view. Perhaps you may feel self-doubt when you receive negative feedback. Unless you take time for introspection (反省), you’ll remain unaware of these habits. Vora says tuning into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is key. “By identifying our emotional blind spots, we can feel more in control of our emotions, how to improve our mood and also how we respond in challenging situations.”

47. 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。
Lian gazed awesomely at the enormous redwood trees towering overhead. Her family had toured many fantastic historic sites during their vacation to Northern California. Visiting the splendid redwoods, something Lian had always wanted to do, was the icing on the cake.
Lian’s father, Mr. Yee, interrupted her thoughts. “Shake a leg everyone,” he said, clapping his hands quickly. “We don’t want to miss our flight.”
Lian and her older brother Shing hurried back to the family’s rental car. Their mother was already in the front passenger seat, anxiously tapping her fingertips against the window. Lian knew her mother was worried about missing their flight home. Mrs. Yee had wanted to stay close to the airport during the last morning of their vacation, but everyone else wanted to see the giant redwood trees. She finally gave in.
Mr. Yee slid into the driver’s seat. “We have two hours before we need to check in at the airport,” he said, checking his watch. “Traffic of the city shouldn’t be a problem at this time of day. We’ll have plenty of time to spare.”
Lian admired the trees as they drove through the park. Shing’s attention, however, was focused elsewhere. “Hey, Dad, I think you were supposed to turn there,” he said, pointing over his shoulder at a road marker. “Good catch, Shing,” replied Mr. Yee. It took several minutes to find a place to turn around on the narrow road. They retraced (折回) their route and tried again. This time, Lian and Shing kept their eyes wide open watching for markers. They successfully exited the park.
Lian and Shing were chatting quietly when they heard a loud“Bang”. Lian’s side of the car suddenly sunk low to the ground. Mr. Yee calmly slowed down and pulled the car to the side of the road. “Everybody stay in the car,” he ordered. He turned on the warning lights and got out to inspect the car. “The axle(轴) is damaged,” he sighed.
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。
Mr. Yee telephoned the rental car company.
