Baseball was everything to Walker Smallwood. But when he was just 14 years old, he got heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg. His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.
The young pitcher's leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option. “At the time I guess I was just kind of in denial, because my whole life, day in and day out, was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said. “It was pretty disastrous,” his mom, Pam said. The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games.
As the team approached the final game of the season, Walker's parents and coach agreed that he could pitch （投球） for an inning（一局） or two for the old time's sake.
“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened,” Walker said.
What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected. Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened. Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.
“I was in tears, most of the stands were in tears— just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said. Smallwood may never play again. He's actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you've already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.
24. What does the word “It” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The serious injury to his leg. B. The childhood baseball dream.
C. The risk of multiple surgeries. D. The long-term mental stress.
25. Which of the following best describes Walker Smallwood
A. Confident and energetic. B. Ambitious and determined.
C. Brilliant and considerate. D. Optimistic and independent.
26. Why does the author mention a World Series ring in the last paragraph
A. To emphasize the value of cherishing every moment.
B. To stress the significance of any championship prize.
C. To highlight Walker's personal success at the game.
D. To serves as a reminder of challenges in Walker's life.
27. What can we learn from Walker's story
A. Misfortune can tell us what fortune is. B. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
C. Constant dropping wears away a stone. D. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
C
While an analysis of the Global Dietary Database for the years 1990, 2005, and 2018 found overall consumption of sweetened drinks increased—by nearly 16% worldwide over the 28-year period studied—regional intake widely varied, researchers say.
Sugary drinks have been widely associated with overweight and heart related diseases, which are among the leading causes of death and years lost to disability globally. Many national guidelines recommend limiting added sugars to less than 5% to 10% of daily calories, and because sodas（汽水） add no nutritional value, some countries tax their consumption to help their residents meet this goal.
The study, published in Nature Communications, is the latest presentation of how adults in 185 countries drink sugar-sweetened beverages（饮料）. Intakes varied widely by world region. In 2018, the average person consumed 2.7 servings of sugary drinks per week, but this ranged from 0.7 servings per week in South Asia to 7.8 servings per week in Latin America. And some of the highest sugary drink intakes in the world were among urban, highly educated adults in Sub-Saharan Africa（12. 4 servings per week） and in Latin America （8.5 servings per week）.“We were struck by the wide variations by world regions in 2018; that Latin America had the largest intakes at all time points despite an overall decrease overtime; and that Sub-Saharan Africa had the greatest increases across all time points,” says Laura Lara-Castor, a PhD candidate at Tufts University.
“These results suggest that more work is needed such as marketing regulations, food labeling, and soda taxes.” Information from the Global Dietary Database, which gathers hundreds of survey results, also revealed a relationship between sugary beverages and socio-economic status. “Sugar-sweetened beverage intake has increased in the past few decades despite efforts to decrease their appeal,” says researchers. “Some populations are especially easily affected, and our findings provide evidence to inform the need and design of national and more targeted policies to reduce their intake worldwide.”
28. What is the main concern about sugary drinks
A. They are just a barrier to weight loss. B. They are linked to health issues.
C. They are far from nutrition standard. D. They are a total waste of money.
29. Why do some countries tax the consumption of sodas
A. To increase income for the government. B. To promote the sales of healthier drinks.
C. To discourage people from drinking sodas. D. To set a limit to the price of sugary drinks.
30. What is the primary focus of the study published in Nature Communications
A. Sugary drink consumption trends. B. Impact of soda taxes on purchases.
C. Regional variations in dietary habits. D. Global dietary information analysis.
31. What can we infer from the results of the study
A. Sugary drinks have nothing to do with economic status.
B. The appeal of sugary drinks cannot be underestimated.
C. Some people are very particular about the sugary drinks.
D. National policies on sugary drinks are more than enough.
D
Three young American men were on a crowded train when they encountered a heavily armed terrorist. With little regard for their personal safety, they rushed the terrorist and controlled him. Only some people seem capable of this split-second form of heroism. Why some men rise to the occasion—and others don't—has been a bit tricky to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.
Of course, heroism and courage can appear in many forms, and men and women risk their reputations, health, and social standing to do what they think is right. When it comes to physically risky bravery, people assume that men will take the lead. There are sound biological reasons for this fixed image. One of the most common fears in men is that they’ll be outed as a coward（懦夫）, and a man who fails to display physical courage will suffer damage to his reputation in a way that a woman will not. Throughout human history, attaining a position of high status or dominance among one’s peers（同龄人） has been the ticket that needs to get punched for men to attract mates and father children.
People tend to have an idea of what heroes are like. When rating the personalities of movie heroes, participants expected them to be more careful and hard-working, open to experience, agreeable, and emotionally stable than the average person. But some studies indicate that people who exhibit heroic behavior score high on personality usually associated with madmen: risk-taking, sensation seeking, coolness under stress, and a tendency to take over in social situations.
The study of the relationship between personality and heroism is at an early stage. Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate during a crisis. Future disasters will cry out for further acts of true heroism. Hopefully, the right mix of circumstances and personalities enable courage to carry the day.
32. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph
A. By giving an example. B. By presenting a concept.
C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a conclusion.
33. What do the underlined words “get punched” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Be bought. B. Be gifted. C. Be obtained. D. Be abandoned.
34. Why is it difficult to predict who will act heroically in a crisis
A. Heroes and ordinary people are always difficult to tell apart.
B. Heroism is a phenomenon influenced by numerous factors.
C. Unknown circumstances play a crucial role in heroic acts.
D. Individual personality is not a reliable indicator of heroism.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How Are Heroes Trained B. Why Are Heroes Important
C. Who Are the True Heroes D. What Makes a Person Heroic

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life.
36 Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert. On the opposite, get negative tasks out of the way as quickly as possible — any delay will only make them seem worse.
People who focus more on process than outcome tend to remain motivated in the face of setbacks. They're better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route. 37 Because it celebrates rewards that come from the work itself. Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don't go well.
38 Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier. 39
The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead. 40 The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media.
A. Anticipation itself is pleasurable.
B. Decrease unnecessary socializing.
C. Find someone to call or FaceTime.
D. This “growth mindset” helps people stay energized.
E. Facebook and Instagram often overstate how much better off others are.
F. Nothing is more important for our psychological health than high-quality friendships.
G. They recover from illnesses more quickly, live longer, and enjoy more enriched lives.

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。
Tom is a special child. Ever since he was little, dogs have been his greatest passion. He often growled（低吼）and barked and sometimes moved around the house on all fours. His parents brought in a little brown female dog named Lynn. Tom was on cloud nine. One day, this little boy, together with Lynn, was sitting quietly down by the side of the street when suddenly a giant dog walked across him. He was a little surprised and started screaming as loudly as he could! All of this frightened Lynn away immediately.
Tom's parents tried to see what the chances were of Lynn coming home on her own. But five days later, there was still no sign of Lynn. The boy didn't just have tears streaming down his cheeks—his parents were saddened too.
The woods behind their home stretched for over 50 miles! Together with their neighbors, they searched for over a month. But Lynn was gone. Tom's parents wanted to choose a new puppy for him. But no dog could replace Lynn for him.
Tom was not the same boy. He locked himself in his room. He seemed to have lost his love for dogs. He could not focus his attention on his classes so he didn't want to go to school. He would easily get angry with people around him. Tom changed from a happy, smiling boy to an upset and annoying kid.
Tom's parents wanted him to stay home and he had been studying at home ever since. His parents accompanied him almost every day, but staying home didn't help much. The boy's mother worried a lot. One rainy afternoon, she saw him staring out the window. “I miss Lynn so much. I wonder if everything is okay with her ” It had been a long time since his beloved dog ran away, but Tom's despair was as great as the day it happened. Days later, Tom walked out the front door with his head down and sat by the side of the street.

A Debate on Labour Education Week
Our school is planning to carry out Labour Education Week, giving a rise to a heated debate among the students. Here's where they disagree.
Some students warmly welcome the new policy, believing it will help enhance the concept of labour, and simultaneously acquire necessary life skills, which will benefit them all their lives. Other students don't agree. They think it is just a waste of time. They can learn to work naturally when they grow up. Right now they should devote their precious time to studies.
Although both sides have valid points, I am just supportive of the new policy. Well organized, it can help us become physically and mentally healthy. I hope every student will actively participate.
第二节
A huge brown dog crossed the street and stood in front of the crying boy. The animal barked twice and watched Tom, tongue rolling out. It was only after a few minutes that he looked at it more closely. The four-legged giant's glassy eyes reminded him of hugging by the fireplace and running between the sprinklers in the backyard. He knew the dog very well. It was Lynn!!! Tom ran to his friend and wrapped his arms tightly around her neck. Lynn licked his cheeks and then walked to the edge of the woods.
Tom ran after Lynn and entered the woods. He lost sight of her for a moment, but luckily soon heard his friend barking. And he finally saw it… Lynn grew up to be an adult dog and became a mother! She had three fluffy, sweet little puppies. Tom took Lynn and her puppies home and his parents were very happy to adopt the little dogs. Tom took good care of Lynn and her puppies. He shared his story, showing his appreciation of tiny animals. Tom made a full recovery. He happily returned to school. His classmates visit him almost every day. Of course, they want to see not only Tom, but also Lynn and her puppies.
答案详解
第二部分
第一节
A
【语篇导读】介绍了一个放松身心的绘画活动。应用文，人与社会。
21. D。理解具体信息。根据 WHAT YOU'LL GET 部分,“Take home your own finished artwork on a 30×40 inches stretched canvas”可知活动结束后, 可以把自己完成的画作带回家。
22. A。理解具体信息。根据文章首段“Discover a different time out, enter your happy and relaxing place for some me-time or with your friends, family, or workmates by your side.”以及 Age Policy 部分“Individuals under 18 years old must be accompanied by a paying adult.”可知，这个活动主要是为了让参与者轻松快乐，与家人朋友或同事一起度过一段乐趣时光，主要针对是有闲暇时间的成年人，未成年人需要陪同。
23. C。理解具体信息。根据价格和退票原则“There is a $4.33 EventBrite fee per person, taken away from the total refund amount.”可知每人$59.00, 退票每人须扣除$4.33的手续费。
B
【语篇导读】本文介绍了17岁男孩 Walker Smallwood 因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。他重返球场参加最后一场比赛，投出了一个无安打的球，震惊所有人。记叙文，人与自我。
24. A。理解具体信息。根据前两段以及“The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option.”可知 Walker一直梦想成为职业棒球手，但因癌症造成腿部伤害，无力支持高强度运动，妈妈因此想表达这简直是灾难性的，所以it在这里就是指代前面的癌症使得他的腿受伤无力这件事。
25. B。推断理解题。根据第四段“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that'll be it. Obviously, that's not what happened”，可知Walker在得知有机会参加最后一场比赛后，就决心不只是去玩玩，而是认真打比赛。结果他投出了一个无安打的球，超出所有人的预期。从这里可以看出这位年轻投手有追求，有决心，也很努力，棒球是他一生的追求，说明他很有雄心壮志。
26. C。推断理解题。从文章最后一段“Smallwood may never play again. He's actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you've already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.”可知，作者是为了强调 Smallwood 当天在棒球场上的成就超过了任何冠军奖的意义。一枚世界大赛戒指是棒球终极成就的象征，但 Smallwood克服癌症带来的伤痛，投出一个无安打的球，所向无敌，其它荣誉何足挂齿。虽然他可能再也不能打球了，但他并不感到失落。
27. D。理解文章主旨要义。What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 那些杀不死你的，终将使你更强大，无法打败你的事情才能让你更坚强，点明中心。
C
【语篇导读】本文介绍了含糖饮料摄入量在过去几十年不断增加，人们对含糖饮料的渴望与居住的地方有关。说明文，人与社会。
28. B。理解具体信息。根据第二段第一句“Sugary drinks have been widely associated with overweight and heart related diseases, which are among the leading causes of death and years lost to disability globally.”可知含糖饮料与肥胖超重和心脏相关疾病有着广泛联系，这些疾病是全球死亡和因残疾而导致减寿的主要原因之一。
29. C。理解具体信息。根据第二段“some countries tax their consumption to help their residents meet this goal.”这里的 the goal 代指前文limiting added sugars to less than 5% to 10% of daily calories（将糖摄入量控制在每日热量的5%到10%以下），所以有的国家对汽水增加税收是为了让人们少喝没有营养价值的汽水，达到控制每日糖摄入量的目的。
30. A。理解段落中心。发表在《自然通讯》上的是关于185个国家成年人饮用含糖饮料的最新研究，研究发现，不同地区的含糖饮料摄入量存在很大差异，也就说明研究核心是关于含糖饮料的消费变化趋势。Regional variations in dietary habits 是指饮食习惯的地区差异。
31. B。推断理解题。根据“Sugar-sweetened beverage intake has increased in the past few decades despite efforts to decrease their appeal”在过去的几十年里，尽管在努力降低含糖饮料的吸引力，但其摄入量仍在增加。可知含糖饮料的吸引力不容小觑。are particular about 对……挑剔。
D
【语篇导读】本文讨论了为什么有的人愿意冒着生命危险去救助他人。议论文，人与社会。
32. A。开篇作者描述了三个年轻的美国人在拥挤的列车上不顾个人安危，挺身而出，勇斗并制服全副武装的恐怖分子。这个具体的事例引出了本篇文章的主题——为什么有的人能成为英雄。
33. C。词语猜测题。根据“Throughout human history, attaining a position of high status or dominance among one’s peers has been the ticket that needs to get punched for men to attract mates and father children.”在人类历史上，在同辈中获得崇高或主导地位一直是男性吸引伴侣和生育后代的必要条件。punch a ticket 这里指获取“入场券”或“通行证”。
34. B。推断理解题。最后一段“The study of the relationship between personality and heroism is at an early stage. Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate during a crisis.”心理学家们仍然无法提前预测谁会在需要时挺身而出。因为英雄主义是与复杂的个人特质有关，往往是在极端压力和不确定性下表现出来。然而有些人可能接受过英雄主义行为的训练，但这并不意味着他们在所有情况下都能表现出英勇行为，他们可能会在危机中犹豫或失去勇气。由于个体差异、不确定情境、受训经历、心理情绪多种因素的影响，很难预测谁会在危机中英勇行动。
35. D。理解文章主旨要义。文章主要讲心理学家通过生物心理学和人格心理学探讨了为什么有人愿意冒着生命危险去救助他人这个问题。
第二节

36. A。对未来美好的期待会使这段经历更加甜美，所以期待本身令人愉悦。
37. D。这一段讲关注过程比关注结果更能激励人们面对挫折，这种发展型的心理定向更能帮助人们充满活力。注意 this “growth mindset”的提示作用。
38. F。这一段主要讲友谊对心理健康的重要作用。
39. G。前一句说到高质量友谊的作用，不仅使人更加快乐，而且使人更加健康。这样的人生病后康复更快、更长寿、能享受更加丰富的生活。持续讲高质量友谊的作用，注意they的指代作用。
40. C。空前提到如果要浏览社交媒体时，就看看通讯录，给他们打电话或通过脸书与他们进行真实的联系，这样比在社交媒体上获得点评或点赞更好。

Phil Cleaver, a British designer, won a prize in the 2024 Global Zodiac Design Competition for his work well including ancient representations of the Chinese dragon.
To display his understanding of this year's Chinese zodiac animal, the Chinese dragon, also known as “loong” according to its pronunciation in Chinese, Cleaver combined different symbolic objects in his work: an antique Chinese dragon-shaped pipe placed across an open book, with the book resting against a backboard.
“The loong itself is an antique pipe, beautiful in its detail, and it sits on a book that is a story of a dragon. The book is a very old symbol of knowledge …the book reflects the knowledge and wisdom of the loong,”Phil Cleaver told Xinhua in a written interview.
This is his second time taking part in this contest. Last year, for the contest marking the Year of the Rabbit, he presented a print entitled Rabbit Moon, which he said was inspired by an ancient Chinese fairy tale.
Referring to a comparison between the Western and Chinese dragons, Cleaver said the two types of dragons share some similarities in how they are shown in paintings, but Chinese culture contributes much better qualities to the dragons than the concept of a horrible animal well accepted in Western culture.（停20秒）
