My mother and I don’t speak the same language．Her English is not good, and my Mandarin stopped at the picture-book level on the day I started kindergarten in California, as I realized that the few English words I knew weren’t going to get me very far．I immersed（沉浸）myself in strange grammar and new vocabulary．As my mother tongue withered（逐渐淡去）in my mind, English allowed me to explain my personhood here and silence the narrative that I was just a shy, odd Asian．
My wish to write, however, made me unintelligible to my mother．She couldn’t understand why I’d spoil other better chances．I’d tried to communicate with her in Chinese, searching my mind for sentences: How could I describe my gratitude for a path to self-fulfillment when all I could say was “kai xin” or “happy” Without the words to bridge the gap between our worldviews, our dissatisfaction and worry turned into stubbornness．
I landed a day job editing a design magazine but worked on my novel in my off-hours．As its main characters, Marissa and Kathleen’s mother-daughter relationship was similar to my own, troubled and split by cultural differences—though always revived by love．But the book is in English, so my mom won’t be able to read it．
Writing the book gave me a reason to mine for details about my family．I’d spent so much of my adolescence shedding（摆脱）my background that when I reached adulthood, I became interested in our history．I started asking questions, hoping to find a new understanding of us．
Her answers were mixed with joyful memories, like the pleasant smell of the flowers my mother would pin to her blouse, or the hubbub（喧闹）of visiting her cousins in the countryside．As her world became clearer to me, I came closer to knowing who she is．
When I showed my mother a copy, she noticed her Chinese name in the acknowledgments and said in Mandarin with a shaking voice, “Now I know you truly love me.” I wish it hadn’t taken this long to find a way to tell her．She may not understand it word for word, but I know she gets the message．
24．Why did the author start to learn English
A．She hoped to read picture books in kindergarten．
B．She was eager to introduce herself to more people．
C．She realized its importance to her life in the country．
D．She found the language strange but fairly easy to learn．
25．What does the underlined word “unintelligible” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Sensitive． B．Sympathetic．
C．Grateful． D．Incomprehensible．
26．What motivated the author to dig into her family history
A．Her interest in her own childhood．
B．Her curiosity about other cultures．
C．Her desire to know her mother better．
D．Her need for inspiration for her novel．
27．How did the author’s mother react to the acknowledgments of the book
A．She was surprised by it．
B．She was deeply moved and felt loved．
C．She was disappointed that she couldn’t read the book．
D．She was grateful for the author’s efforts to understand her．
C
From camping to Frisbee（飞盘游戏）, China’s urban residents are always on the lookout for the next outdoor activity in fashion．Over the last few months, farming vegetables has become the most popular one as more and more people seek to break away from urban routines for a short break back with nature．
Completely different from traditional farming, the pieces of land are divided into smaller parts so they can be rented out to families with kids, the elderly, and white-collar residents．They are usually located on the suburbs of cities, and promise potential tenants（租户）hours of peaceful gardening and beautiful scenery．
As their own “landlords,” inexperienced city residents get to experience the whole process—from sowing vegetable seeds and watering them to eventually harvesting the fruits of their labor．Shanghai resident Tai Xin rented a 100-square-meter plot of land on Shanghai’s suburbs that costs 1,000 yuan annually．She says, “I initially thought my seven-year-old son would be able to better understand crops, planting, picking, and agricultural science.” But her parents, who have been helping with babysitting, are now also engaged on the “farm”．“We’re pleased to be here,” she added．Tai says she visits the plot of land, around two kilometers away from her home, once in a while but only on weekends．She spends a couple of hours watering the crops, removing weeds, and sometimes just organizing a picnic with her family．
But like other outdoor activities, vegetable gardening, as an emerging trend, is not without its complications. Most of the land for such vegetable gardens are agricultural tracts（大片土地）rented from the local government, says Zhang Ling, who operates the Shanghai Shanxi Fruit &Vegetable Cooperative．
“The regulator wants to keep track of the kind of vegetables planted as well as the yield to guarantee the city’s food supply,” says Zhang．“It’s very difficult for us to track that since our customers are mostly amateur farmers and they could be very spontaneous（自发的）in what they want to plant．A failure to meet the regulatory requirements, however, may lead to the land rental contract being canceled.”
28．What is the latest trend among urban residents in China
A．Camping in the wilderness．
B．Playing Frisbee in city parks．
C．Seeking adventurous urban routines．
D．Engaging in outdoor farming activities．
29．What distinguishes the vegetable farming experience in urban areas from traditional farming
A．It is carried out by various tenants on smaller lands．
B．It involves planting crops for commercial purposes．
C．It focuses on large-scale agricultural methods．
D．It is primarily promoted by local gardeners．
30．How does Tai Xin view the vegetable farming experience for her family
A．She thinks it’s a little expensive． B．She finds it quite time-consuming．
C．She considers it a good family activity． D．She believes it aims for health education．
31．What’s Zhang Ling’s attitude toward the future of vegetable gardening in urban areas
A．Concerned． B．Positive． C．Carefree． D．Unclear．
D
Humans have sailed the oceans’ surfaces for thousands of years, but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only about a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped at high resolution（清晰度）．Maps of most regions display only estimated depths and often miss entire underwater mountains or canyons（峡谷）．So a group of researchers have turned to some deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals．Scientists have been placing trackers on these blubber y marine mammals around Antarctica for years, gathering data on ocean temperature and salinity（盐度）．
For a new study, the researchers compared these dives’ location and depth data with some of the less detailed seafloor maps．They spotted places where the seals dove deeper than should have been possible according to the maps．
In eastern Antarctica’s Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater canyon suddenly descending（下降）to depths of more than a mile．“The seals discovered the canyon, and the ship confirmed it,” says Clive McMahon, a researcher at the Integrated Marine Observing System in Australia and a co-author of the new study．
But seals can’t map the entire ocean floor．The trackers used in the study could pinpoint（为……准确定位）a seal’s geographical location only within about 1.5 miles, which allows for useful but not exactly high-resolution data．Plus, because the seals don’t always dive to the bottom of the ocean, they can reveal only where the bottom is deeper than in existing maps—not shallower．McMahon notes that scientists could improve on these data by using more precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals’ diving patterns to determine whether they have reached the seafloor or simply stopped descending．
The current seal-dive data can still be valuable for an important task, says Anna W hlin, an oceanographer at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden．The deep ocean around Antarctica is warmer than the extremely cold waters at the surface, and seafloor canyons can allow that warmer water to flow to the ice along the continent’s coast, W hlin explains．To predict how Antarctica’s ice will melt, scientists will need to know where those canyons are and how deep they go．
32．What’s the initial function of the device carried by the seals
A．Collecting data about seawater．
B．Filming the images of the seafloor．
C．Recording the seals’ travelling routes．
D．Leading researchers to some remote areas．
33．What does the new study’s discovery prove
A．It is impossible to fully uncover the secrets of the sea．
B．The existing depth estimates for the sea are inaccurate．
C．Seals’ ability to dive is worth further scientific studies．
D．It is urgent for scientists to map detailed seafloor maps．
34．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The creative methods adopted in the study．
B．Major technical challenges faced by scientists．
C．New research directions inspired by the study．
D．The shortcomings of the approaches to the study．
35．Which of the following will Anna W hlin most probably agree with
A．The new study is potentially beneficial to other scientific fields．
B．The deep waters of Antarctica are colder than the surface waters．
C．Seafloor canyons slow down the speed of ice melting in Antarctica．
D．The seal-dive practice is valuable for mapping the entire ocean floor．

There is a peaceful moment that washes over you when you step into a forest． 36 Li and Gary Evans, director of the Forest Bathing Institute in the U．K．, talk to Life Kit about the science behind forest bathing and how you can obtain the health benefits．
The ideal place to forest bathe is in a natural forest．But if you live far away from one, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do． 37 A 2022 study found that walking in a forest had a greater impact on cardiovascular（心血管的）function than doing so in an urban park．
To gain the rewards of forest bathing, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods, says Li． 38 If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander in a forest, you can also do shorter walks．
Your forest bathing session is a good time to walk or do some gentle activities such as yoga and tai chi. 39 ．“The difference between normal activities and forest bathing is that we’re going to move very slowly,” says Evans．Forest bathing is about calming you down, reducing your heart rate and blood pressure．
When you get to the forest or the park, find a spot that could be a clearing in the woods surrounded by a bunch of tall trees． 40 “Inhale（吸气）for a count of one, two and then exhale（呼气）for double the length of time．Then keep that going.” This particular breathing exercise has been shown to have benefits outside of the forest environment．
A．You can do sports like hiking or jogging．
B．Sit down and slow down your breathing．
C．But they won’t be as significant as walking in the deep woods．
D．It’s not the time to do hard exercises like running or weight training．
E．Not only is “forest bathing” a way to explore nature, it’s good for your health．
F．It simply connects with our sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch．
G．According to his research, forest bathing for that amount of time help promote the well-being．

Sam Hensen was celebrating his ninth birthday at summer camp．The counselors and fellow campers came together to throw a party for him, complete with cake and gifts thoughtfully sent by his parents．But Sam was not a popular boy．He was mentally disabled and couldn’t move around like the other children, setting him apart from his peers and causing unease among parents．But things were about to change on his ninth birthday．At camp, he was about to discover that there were people who genuinely cared about him．
One boy reached out to Sam and extended a warm hand of friendship．His name was Bobby, an eleven-year-old, and he had a younger brother who was mentally challenged．Sam’s presence reminded Bobby of his beloved brother, and their bond was unique, unlike any other．
Bobby’s kindness didn’t stop at a friendly gesture; every morning, he went to Sam’s cabin to help him prepare for the day．Their friendship extended to sports, especially baseball, which Sam adored．Bobby, with strong determination, took on the incredible challenge of teaching Sam how to bat．
The hours and days they spent practicing seemed to point to an impossible task．The camp counselors had also tried their best to teach Sam, but progress had appeared to be hopeless．But Bobby was not ready to give up on his friend, but Sam began to feel anxious．
One restless night, Sam couldn’t sleep as he thought of Bobby’s kindness and the counselors’ tireless efforts to help him．He felt the burning desire to practice more, despite the late hour．He decided to take action．With determination, he made his way to Bobby’s cabin and woke him up, whispering, “Come on, Bobby! Wake up! I need you to pitch（投掷）the ball.” Bobby, rubbing his eyes, was initially puzzled by Sam’s late-night visit．But as Sam pulled him out of bed, he realized the importance of this moment．Sam assured him, “It will only take a moment, and we’ll be right back.”

One possible version:
With their counselors sound asleep, the two friends sneaked out, making their way to a poorly lit parking lot. Bobby helped Sam get into position to bat, and Sam, trying to focus on the ball in the weak light, took several swings, but still couldn’t hit it．In a quiet but determined voice, Bobby assured Sam, who was obviously upset, “I’ll pitch one more, and I know you’re going to hit this one.” With hope in his heart, Bobby pitched the ball．In a magical moment, the ball sailed past Sam’s head and finally made contact! Their excitement was uncontainable as they jumped and yelled with joy．
Sam fell asleep that night with a smile of accomplishment on his face．For Bobby, this experience taught him an invaluable lesson about maintaining faith even in the face of what seemed to be challenges impossible to be handled. Sam’s determination didn’t stop at the summer camp; he went on to play college baseball and received the honor of being elected to his school’s Hall of Fame．In the years that followed, Sam was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a professional baseball game．Eventually, he returned to the old summer camp to teach baseball during their Special Olympics events, where he continued to inspire those around him．

B篇
主题语境：人与自我——生活
本文是记叙文。作者与母亲之间因为语言问题而无法完全理解对方。作者酷爱写作，通过写小说，她挖掘家族历史，重新认识了母亲，也加深了彼此之间的理解。
24．C。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的 Her English is not good, and my Mandarin stopped at the picture-book level on the day I started kindergarten in California, as I realized that the few English words I knew weren’t going to get me very far可知，母亲的英语不太好，而作者的普通话在她到加利福尼亚上幼儿园的那天起就停留在绘本书的水平上，因为作者意识到自己所知道的几个英语单词是无法支撑她前行的，即作者意识到了想要在这个国家生活，就得会英语，故选C项。
25．D。理解词汇。根据第二段中的 She couldn’t understand why I’d spoil other better chances．I’d tried to communicate with her in Chinese, searching my mind for sentences: How could I describe my gratitude for a path to self-fulfillment when all I could say was “kai xin” or “happy” Without the words to bridge the gap between our worldviews, our dissatisfaction and worry turned into stubbornness可知，母亲不明白作者为什么要浪费更好的机会。作者曾试图用中文与她沟通，搜寻着脑海中的句子：这是一条能带来自我满足感的道路；在只会（用中文）说“开心”的情况下，该如何表达对这条道路的感激之情呢？由于无法找到弥合二人世界观差异的词语，她们的不满和担忧变成了执拗。由此可推知，母亲无法理解作者。画线词与D项incomprehensible含义相近，表示“难以理解的，费解的”。
26．C。理解具体信息。根据第四段中的I started asking questions, hoping to find a new understanding of us可知，作者挖掘家族的历史是为了更好地了解母亲，故选C项。
27．B。推断。根据最后一段中的 When I showed my mother a copy, she noticed her Chinese name in the acknowledgments and said in Mandarin with a shaking voice, “Now I know you truly love me.”可知，当作者把书拿给母亲时，她发现了致谢辞中有她的中文名字，然后她用颤抖的声音用普通话说：“现在我知道你真的爱我了。”由此可推知，母亲看到书中的致谢词时很感动，感受到了来自女儿的爱，故选B项。
C篇
主题语境：人与社会——社会
本文是新闻报道。在中国的城市居民中，种植蔬菜成了一种新兴的户外活动。与传统农业不同，这一活动将土地划分为小块，租给城市居民。它为人们提供了与自然亲近的机会，但也需要遵循一些监管规定。
28．D。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的Over the last few months, farming vegetables has become the most popular one as more and more people seek to break away from urban routines for a short break back with nature可知，在过去的几个月里，种植蔬菜已成为最受欢迎的活动之一，故选D项。
29．A。理解具体信息。根据第二段中的 Completely different from traditional farming, the pieces of land are divided into smaller parts so they can be rented out to families with kids, the elderly, and white-collar residents 可知，与传统农业不同的是，这些土地被划分成较小的地块，租给有孩子的家庭、老人和白领居民，即在这项活动中，不同的租户在小块土地上耕种，故选A项。
30．C。推断。根据第三段中的“We’re pleased to be here,”she added 和She spends a couple of hours watering the crops, removing weeds, and sometimes just organizing a picnic with her family 可知，这位女士说她的家人都很喜欢去那里，而且她会花几个小时浇水、除草，有时还会和家人组织一次野餐。由此可推知，她认为这是一项很好的家庭活动，故选C项。
31．A。理解观点、态度。根据最后一段可知，监管部门希望追踪种植的蔬菜种类和产量，以确保城市的食品供应；由于租户大多是业余耕种者，因此他们只是按照自己的意愿选择种植的作物，并没有进行统筹安排。然而，无法满足监管要求可能会导致土地租赁合同被取消。由此可推知，Zhang Ling对这一活动的未来感到担忧，故选A项。
D篇
主题语境：人与社会——科学
本文是说明文。文章介绍了科学家利用海豹进行海洋探测的一项研究。
32．A。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的Scientists have been placing trackers on these blubbery marine mammals around Antarctica for years, gathering data on ocean temperature and salinity可知，科学家多年来一直在南极海域的海豹身上安装追踪器,以收集有关海洋温度和盐度的数据，故选A项。
33．B。推断。根据第二段可知，在这项新研究中，研究人员将海豹潜水的位置和深度与一些粗略的海床地图进行了对比。他们发现海豹能下潜到比地图上所标注的深度更深的地方。由此可推知，目前人们对海洋深度的估算是不准确的，故选B项。
34．D。理解主旨要义。根据第四段可知，海豹无法提供整个海床的信息。研究中使用的追踪器只能在大约1.5英里的范围内准确定位海豹的地理位置，这些数据虽然有用，但精度不高。此外，由于海豹并不总是潜到海底，它们只能展示出比现有地图更深的海床位置，却无法揭示更浅的位置。由此可推知，本段主要介绍了利用海豹进行海洋探测的缺陷，故选D项。
35．A。推断。根据最后一段中可知，Anna Wahlin认为海豹潜水数据很有价值；在南极洲附近，海洋深处的水温高于海洋表面的水温，而海底峡谷可以使这些温度较高的海水流向大陆沿岸的冰；为了预测南极洲的冰将如何融化，科学家需要知道这些峡谷的位置和深度。由此可推知，Anna W hlin认为这项新研究也可能给其他科学领域带来助力，故选A项。

主题语境：人与自然——自然生态
本文是说明文。森林浴是一种通过接触大自然来缓解压力，促进身心健康的运动。
36．E。上文提到“当你踏入森林时，会感觉自己立刻就进入了平静的状态”；结合下文中的how you can obtain the health benefits可知，E项“森林浴不仅是探索大自然的一种方法，也对你的健康有益”符合语境，与上下文衔接紧密。
37．C。根据下文的 A 2022 study found that walking in a forest had a greater impact…than doing so in an urban park可知，研究发现在森林中散步比在城市公园中散步的益处更多。由此可知，C项“但是它们不像在茂密的森林中漫步那样有效”符合语境。C项与上文形成转折关系,选项中的they指代上文的any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces。
38．G。根据上文的 To gain the rewards of forest bathing…”says Li 和下文的If you can’t set aside a good．．．you can also do shorter walks可知,本段主要讲的是进行森林浴的时长。G项“根据他的研究，在该时长范围内进行森林浴对身体健康有促进作用”符合语境。G项中的that amount of time指代上文中的two to six hours。
39．D。上文提到进行森林浴的时段适合散步和进行一些轻度运动，如瑜伽和太极拳。下文中Evans的话提到普通的运动和森林浴的区别。由此可推知，设空处与普通运动有关，故D项“这段时间内不适合进行诸如跑步或力量训练的剧烈运动”符合语境。D项中的 hard exercises、running和weight training与下文的normal activities相呼应。
40．B。根据下文的“Inhale for a count of one, two and then exhale …” This particular breathing exercise has been shown …可知，进行森林浴时可以调整呼吸的节奏。B项“坐下来并放缓你呼吸的节奏”符合语境。
