第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Mysterious World of Deep-Sea Creatures
The deep sea remains one of the least explored and understood environments on our planet. Lying below the sunlit upper layers of the ocean, the deep sea is a region of permanent darkness, freezing temperatures, and massive pressure. Yet, life thrives (茁壮成长) here in some of the most astonishing ways.
* The Black Dragonfish *
Residing at dephs of up to 2,000 meters, the black dragonfish is a predator with a thin and long body and sharp teeth. What makes it unique is its ability to produce its own light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This helps it attract prey (猎物) and communicate with potential mates.
* The Giant Squid *
Long a stuff of legends and tales, the giant squid, which occasionally attacks whales, can reach lengths of up to 43 feet. Its massive eyes, the size of dinner plates, allow it to detect weak light in the deep dark waters. Encounters with this enormous creature are rare, and much of its life remains unknown.
* Tube Worms at Hydrothermal Vents *
In the depths of the ocean, hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) shoot superheated water packed with minerals. Around these vents, communities of tube worms thrive, reaching lengths of up to 2 meters. They possess no mouth or digestive system; instead, bacteria inside them process the minerals from the vents to produce energy.
Modern technology has enabled humans to explore deeper into the ocean than ever before. Using remotely operated vehicles and deep-sea submersibles (潜水器), scientists can now study these creatures in their natural habitats, uncovering secrets that could hold the key to understanding life’s adaptability.
1. What ability is unique to the black dragonfish
A. Generating light for itself. B. Attracting and capturing prey.
C. Discovering light in the deep water. D. Communicating with other creatures.
2. Which creature relies on internal bacteria for energy
A The black dragonfish B. The tube worm. C. The giant squid. D. The whale.
3. Where is this text probably taken from
A. An academic article. B. An experimental report.
C. A travel guide. D. A natural science magazine.
B
My family and I had set out on a day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji, a town known for being one of the wettest places on Earth. However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths (独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.
That is how I found myself standing in the shadow of the huge monoliths of Nartiang, which is home to the thickest and largest collection in the region. Curious to uncover their history, I approached Maryo Symblai, a village elder I met later that day, who told me the story of the monoliths that has been orally passed down over generations. She said, “Back in the day, Nartiang didn’t have a bazaar (集市) and the nearest one was at Raliang. On one such bazaar, a giant named Mar Phalyngki was caught in heavy rain on his way back. He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella ’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.”
“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory”, said Dr Reeju Ray, a local writer.
Today, even though the traditional customs and more confirmed historical accounts offer some insight into the site, the mystery(奥秘)of the stone giants lasts.
4. Why did the author and his family come to visit the monoliths of Nartiang
A. It was in their original trip plan.
B. They had to choose it as an alternative.
C. It was the only remaining place to visit.
D. An elder village r gave them the suggestion.
5. Which does the underlined word “Emboldened” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Threatened. B. Moved. C. Stimulated. D. Frightened.
6. Why are Dr. Reeju Ray’s words mentioned
A. To info rm what the monoliths served as.
B. To illustrate how the mysterious story came into being.
C. To introduce the feature of Nartiang monoliths.
D. To deny the overlap of ancient story and memory.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Trip to the Monoliths. B. The Mystery of Shillong.
C. The Formation of the Monoliths. D. A Disappointing Travel Experience.
C
Throughout history literature has been a mirror to society, capturing its evolution, revolutions, conflicts, and ambition. As reaoers, we often find comfort, inspiration, or severe realities through the world of words. Yet, in the 21st century, with a sharp rise in digitalization, literature’s canvas (画布) has expanded dramatically, leading to both enthusiasm and worry among literary enthusiasts.
Dr. Elizabeth Montgomery, a famous literary critic and professor at the Langford Literary University, set about an extensive study to decipher (破译) the changing landscape of literature in the digital age. “The printed word has a touchable beauty and permanence. Digital platforms, on the other hand, are vast, changing, and developing. This dichotomy (二分法) is interesting but also challenges traditional literary boundaries,” reflected Montgomery.
Montgomery’s study lasted over two years, involving a diverse group of 1,200 participants from various age groups and backgrounds. They were divided into three groups: the first experienced literature only through printed books, the second through e-books, and the third through interactive digital stories, which combine text, graphics, and user interaction.
Feedback revealed diverse insights. Printed book fans valued the sensory experience—the feel of pages, the smell of a book—claiming that it deepened their connection to the content. E-book readers appreciated the convenience and portability but missed the touchable experience of traditional books. However, the third group, who engaged with interactive digital stories, expressed excitement at being part of the story, though some felt it weakened the literary essence.
Further, the study found that interactive stories appealed especially to younger readers, suggesting a potential shift in future literary consumption patterns. Montgomery notes, “While traditionalists might find the digital development of literature disturbing, it’s undeniable that the boundary between readers and stories is becoming more foggy. The key is to balance innovation with the preservation of literary integrity.”
8. What was the purpose of Dr. Elizabeth Montgomery’s study
A. To promote digital platforms over printed books.
B. To explore the impact of digitalization on literature.
C. To present the landscape of the digital literature.
D. To challenge the traditional literary boundary.
9. What can we learn about the participants who read printed books
A. They found it convenient to carry the books around.
B. They believed the books lacked the literary essence.
C. They thought they were happy to be involved in the story.
D. They felt the sensory experience promoted their understanding.
10. What does the study suggest about the future of literature consumption
A. Traditional books may be preferred by elder people.
B. Digital stories will enjoy equal preference of all ages.
C. Interactive stories may see a rise among younger readers.
D. E-books will replace printed books and dominate the market.
11. What is Montgomery’s attitude to the digital development of literature
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Unconcerned.
D
Pity the poor traffic policeman. He’s the last guy you want to see when you’re speeding down the highway. But according to a major research by scientists in Canada and California, that policeman just might be saving your life or the life of someone else.
The researchers have found that a traffic ticket reduces a driver’s chance of being involved in a disastrous accident greatly. The effect doesn’t last long, however. Within months, the lead foot is back on the pedal and the risk of killing yourself or someone else is back up to where it was before that policeman stared you in the eye and wrote out that expensive ticket. It is back to business as usual for most motorists.
Traffic tickets save thousands of lives every year. Yet traffic laws are applied infrequently, almost as if by whim (心血来潮), partly because people just don’t like traffic policemen, and there are lots of other things for the government to spend money on than applying highway safety laws.
Researches looked at the month prior to a disastrous accident, and the number of traffic convictions (定罪), and then the same month in the year before. They found there were fewer tickets in the month before a disastrous accident than there were a year before, which suggests there’s a protective effect of having a ticket.
The scientists also turned up some surprising results. “Most of the crashes did not involve alcohol,” they reported. “The relative risk reduction associated with traffic convictions was remarkably consistent among women and men, regardless of age, prior driving record, and other personal data. Men, however, were involved in far more disastrous accidents than women and the most accident-prone (有倾向的) age was between 30 and 50.”
They also pointed out that most crashes could have been prevented by a small difference in driver behavior. So the next time you see that policeman in your rear-view mirror, give him or her a broad smile.
12. How will the drivers probably behave months after having traffic tickets
A. Drive more attentively than before. B. Return to where accidents happened.
C. Escape a spot check for alcohol. D. Drive as fast as they did before.
13. Which statement about traffic laws is correct
A. They have saved thousands of lives so far.
B. They are not favored by traffic policemen.
C. They are carried out consistently and sufficiently.
D. They are not the priority of the government’s budget.
14. What can be learned from paragraph 4
A. Traffic tickets can guarantee safe driving.
B. It is necessary to reduce traffic convictions.
C. Disastrous accidents will decline with more traffic tickets given.
D. Tickets’ protective effect can be found before disastrous accidents.
15. What can be inferred from the research
A. Its results applied to both men and women.
B. None of the traffic crashes involved alcohol.
C Women aged 30 to 50 caused more disastrous accidents.
D. Drivers were used to looking at the mirrors while driving.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Certain Chinese cuisines, such as the well-known Roasted Duck from Beijing or the delicious Tianjin-style Pancakes, might appear commonplace to the Chinese, but they have gained global recognition. The appeal of these delicacies is deeply rooted in vast geographical diversity.
Stretching from the extremely cold northern plains to the southern rainforests, different regions have their unique ingredients and cooking techniques. ___16___, commonly referred to as the Eight Major Cuisines of China. These include the rich and flavor-packed dishes of Sichuan, the delicate and varied tastes of Guangdong, the mouth-watering and hearty foods of Shandong, and the spicy and sour flavors of Hunan, among others.
Climate plays a crucial role in shaping regional cuisines. In Sichuan, for example, the hot and wet climate, coupled with the region’s mountainous physical geography, has led to a preference for spicy foods, like Stir-Fried Tofu in Hot Sauce or Spicy Chicken. The spicy flavors add appetite to dishes. In addition, ___17___. The unique conditions of the Sichuan Basin, with its low-lying land and difficulty in losing heat through evaporation (蒸发), contribute to this preference.
One of the most noteworthy contrasts between southern and northern Chinese cuisines lies in the employment of ingredients. Southern dishes tend to be lighter and more delicate, featuring seafood, vegetables, and rice. In contrast, ___18___. They have a wealth of wheat-based dishes like noodles and dumplings.
___19___ regardless of their differences. Dishes are attentively cooked to stimulate the senses and promote a sense of pleasure. The use of fresh, seasonal ingredients, along with the close attention to details in preparation and presentation, defines Chinese cuisine.
Another important aspect of Chinese dining culture is the significance of table manners. Meals are often shared among family and friends, with each person taking turns to serve and pour. Chopsticks, rather than forks or knives, are preferred, symbolizing closeness and familiarity. The act of eating together goes beyond food alone. ___20___.
A. northern cuisines are heavier and more hearty
B. they serve to warm up and remove dampness from the boday
C. This diversity comes down to its geographical and climatic conditions
D. The Chinese people have for centuries crafted varieties of delicious dishes
E. This geographical diversity has given birth to eight major cooking traditions
F. That is to say, it represents a sense of community and the strength of bonds
G. Chinese cuisines share emphasis on the perfect harmony of color, flavor and taste

The young cat, less than a year old, quickly ___24___ and came to the front of his cage, loud purring (咕噜声) coming out. I wanted to touch his long, soft fur (毛皮) but I remembered the sign and hesitated. I had never ___25___ a cat with a warning label before. He continued purring as I ___26___ stuck my index finger between the ___27___ and touched the soft fur behind his ear. Then he ___28___. The purring stopped.
I didn’t move my finger ___29___ he’d move faster than I could. I waited to see what he would do. One paw (爪子) was lifting slowly as if to hold my arm in place—I ____30____ so he could give me a good bite. I prepared myself for the ____31____ but then the purring began again.
For half an hour I stood at his cage letting him get used to me ____32____ him. In the end he did not bite me, much to the shelter manager’s ____33____.

Six hundred anxious parents and relatives sat in the school hall waiting for the talent show to begin. Jane sat alone in the crowd. It seemed everything she did lately, she did alone. Over the past several years the unexpected downward spirals (逐渐下滑) had destroyed her marriage and seriously threatened her financial situation, leaving her exhausted and hopeless. She worried how she was going to provide a future for herself and her eight-year-old daughter, Renee.
Renee had one passion—to learn Irish dance. For several years, with a borrowed CD, she had taught herself a few steps and had even danced in front of both her first and second grade classes. This year, despite their situation, Jane had somehow managed to squeeze enough from her budget to pay for Renee’s dancing lessons. For four months Renee had practiced, determined to perform in this talent show.
Renee could not have been more excited or looked more beautiful than she did tonight in her borrowed Irish costume and shoes. Full of confidence, she was ready to dance! As the program moved through each performance, Jane was anxious and wondered how her little third grade daughter would respond to such a large audience. In her short eight years, Renee had never faced such a challenge.
Finally, it was Renee’s turn. Jane held her breath as the curtain rose and the spotlight piereed (穿透) through the darkness and onto her daughter looking so small and alone on the stage. The audience greeted her with polite applause and the music began.
Renee fell quickly into step with the cheerful Irish tune. Her joy was evident as she danced and spun (旋转) in circles around the stage. A few in the crowd began to clap with the music. More joined in until the entire audience, caught up in the beat, was clapping along with Renee as she danced lightly.
But wait! Jane wanted to shout. What happened

Its massive eyes, the size of dinner plates, allow it to detect weak light in the deep dark waters. Encounters with this enormous creature are rare, and much of its life remains unknown.
* Tube Worms at Hydrothermal Vents *
In the depths of the ocean, hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) shoot superheated water packed with minerals. Around these vents, communities of tube worms thrive, reaching lengths of up to 2 meters. They possess no mouth or digestive system; instead, bacteria inside them process the minerals from the vents to produce energy.
Modern technology has enabled humans to explore deeper into the ocean than ever before. Using remotely operated vehicles and deep-sea submersibles (潜水器), scientists can now study these creatures in their natural habitats, uncovering secrets that could hold the key to understanding life’s adaptability.

My family and I had set out on a day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji, a town known for being one of the wettest places on Earth. However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths (独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.
That is how I found myself standing in the shadow of the huge monoliths of Nartiang, which is home to the thickest and largest collection in the region. Curious to uncover their history, I approached Maryo Symblai, a village elder I met later that day, who told me the story of the monoliths that has been orally passed down over generations. She said, “Back in the day, Nartiang didn’t have a bazaar (集市) and the nearest one was at Raliang. On one such bazaar, a giant named Mar Phalyngki was caught in heavy rain on his way back. He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella ’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.”
“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory”, said Dr Reeju Ray, a local writer.
Today, even though the traditional customs and more confirmed historical accounts offer some insight into the site, the mystery(奥秘)of the stone giants lasts.
4. Why did the author and his family come to visit the monoliths of Nartiang
A. It was in their original trip plan.
B. They had to choose it as an alternative.
C. It was the only remaining place to visit.
D. An elder village r gave them the suggestion.
5. Which does the underlined word “Emboldened” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Threatened. B. Moved. C. Stimulated. D. Frightened.
6. Why are Dr. Reeju Ray’s words mentioned
A. To info rm what the monoliths served as.
B. To illustrate how the mysterious story came into being.
C. To introduce the feature of Nartiang monoliths.
D. To deny the overlap of ancient story and memory.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Trip to the Monoliths. B. The Mystery of Shillong.
C. The Formation of the Monoliths. D. A Disappointing Travel Experience.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A

【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“My family and I had set out on a day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji, a town known for being one of the wettest places on Earth. However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). (我和家人从Shillong出发前往Cherrapunji,这是一个以地球上最潮湿的地方之一而闻名的小镇。然而,在我们被困在交通中四个多小时后,我的一个姐姐提议回到城市,作为最后一次尝试,以挽救当天剩下的一切。一个快速的在线搜索显示,Shillong周围还有其他必去景点。大多数人都很熟悉,但有一个引起了我们的注意——Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。)”可知,作者因为交通被困,所以改变原来旅游路线,不得已选择参观Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段“He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella ’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.(他要求向拉良首领的小女儿借把伞,但她想试试他传奇般的力量你为什么不去集市上搬那块巨石当伞用呢?”她轻蔑地说。在她的挑战的 下,他就这么做了,但在到达Nartiang之前,雨停了,他把它放在了森林里。)”可推测,这里指在女孩的话语的“刺激”下,巨人搬了石头。所以猜测Emboldened表“被刺激”。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory(在Nartiang巨石的案例中,古代故事和记忆有一定的重叠。当地人对这个地方是如何形成的描述是基于古代故事或民俗。但他们也记得它,因为它是他们祖先每周的集市、纪念碑和政治集会的场所。口述历史就是这样运作的。它将事实和虚构混合到集体记忆中)”可知,文中提到了Dr. Reeju Ray的话是为了说明这个神秘的故事是如何产生的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.(一个快速的在线搜索显示,Shillong周围还有其他必去景点。大多数人都很熟悉,但有一个引起了我们的注意——Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。照片显示,高高的石头以一种奇怪的形式堆积在一起,尽管缺乏细节,但仍呼吁我们进一步探索。)”以及下文可知,文章主要讲作者探索Nartiang巨石的故事,所以A项A Trip to the Monoliths(巨石之旅)作为文章标题,与本文主题相符合。故选A项。
C
Throughout history, literature has been a mirror to society, capturing its evolution, revolutions, conflicts, and ambition. As reaoers, we often find comfort, inspiration, or severe realities through the world of words. Yet, in the 21st century, with a sharp rise in digitalization, literature’s canvas (画布) has expanded dramatically, leading to both enthusiasm and worry among literary enthusiasts.
Dr. Elizabeth Montgomery, a famous literary critic and professor at the Langford Literary University, set about an extensive study to decipher (破译) the changing landscape of literature in the digital age. “The printed word has a touchable beauty and permanence. Digital platforms, on the other hand, are vast, changing, and developing. This dichotomy (二分法) is interesting but also challenges traditional literary boundaries,” reflected Montgomery.
Montgomery’s study lasted over two years, involving a diverse group of 1,200 participants from various age groups and backgrounds. They were divided into three groups: the first experienced literature only through printed books, the second through e-books, and the third through interactive digital stories, which combine text, graphics, and user interaction.
Feedback revealed diverse insights. Printed book fans valued the sensory experience—the feel of pages, the smell of a book—claiming that it deepened their connection to the content. E-book readers appreciated the convenience and portability but missed the touchable experience of traditional books. However, the third group, who engaged with interactive digital stories, expressed excitement at being part of the story, though some felt it weakened the literary essence.
Further, the study found that interactive stories appealed especially to younger readers, suggesting a potential shift in future literary consumption patterns. Montgomery notes, “While traditionalists might find the digital development of literature disturbing, it’s undeniable that the boundary between readers and stories is becoming more foggy. The key is to balance innovation with the preservation of literary integrity.”
8. What was the purpose of Dr. Elizabeth Montgomery’s study
A. To promote digital platforms over printed books.
B. To explore the impact of digitalization on literature.
C. To present the landscape of the digital literature.
D. To challenge the traditional literary boundary.
9. What can we learn about the participants who read printed books
A. They found it convenient to carry the books around.
B. They believed the books lacked the literary essence.
C. They thought they were happy to be involved in the story.
D. They felt the sensory experience promoted their understanding.
10. What does the study suggest about the future of literature consumption
A. Traditional books may be preferred by elder people.
B. Digital stories will enjoy equal preference of all ages.
C. Interactive stories may see a rise among younger readers.
D. E-books will replace printed books and dominate the market.
11. What is Montgomery’s attitude to the digital development of literature
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A

Pity the poor traffic policeman. He’s the last guy you want to see when you’re speeding down the highway. But according to a major research by scientists in Canada and California, that policeman just might be saving your life or the life of someone else.
The researchers have found that a traffic ticket reduces a driver’s chance of being involved in a disastrous accident greatly. The effect doesn’t last long, however. Within months, the lead foot is back on the pedal and the risk of killing yourself or someone else is back up to where it was before that policeman stared you in the eye and wrote out that expensive ticket. It is back to business as usual for most motorists.
Traffic tickets save thousands of lives every year. Yet traffic laws are applied infrequently, almost as if by whim (心血来潮), partly because people just don’t like traffic policemen, and there are lots of other things for the government to spend money on than applying highway safety laws.
Researches looked at the month prior to a disastrous accident, and the number of traffic convictions (定罪), and then the same month in the year before. They found there were fewer tickets in the month before a disastrous accident than there were a year before, which suggests there’s a protective effect of having a ticket.
The scientists also turned up some surprising results. “Most of the crashes did not involve alcohol,” they reported. “The relative risk reduction associated with traffic convictions was remarkably consistent among women and men, regardless of age, prior driving record, and other personal data. Men, however, were involved in far more disastrous accidents than women and the most accident-prone (有倾向的) age was between 30 and 50.”
They also pointed out that most crashes could have been prevented by a small difference in driver behavior. So the next time you see that policeman in your rear-view mirror, give him or her a broad smile.
12. How will the drivers probably behave months after having traffic tickets
A. Drive more attentively than before. B. Return to where accidents happened.
C. Escape a spot check for alcohol. D. Drive as fast as they did before.
13. Which statement about traffic laws is correct
A. They have saved thousands of lives so far.
B. They are not favored by traffic policemen.
C. They are carried out consistently and sufficiently.
D. They are not the priority of the government’s budget.
14. What can be learned from paragraph 4
A. Traffic tickets can guarantee safe driving.
B. It is necessary to reduce traffic convictions.
C. Disastrous accidents will decline with more traffic tickets given.
D. Tickets’ protective effect can be found before disastrous accidents.
15. What can be inferred from the research
A Its results applied to both men and women.
B. None of the traffic crashes involved alcohol.
C. Women aged 30 to 50 caused more disastrous accidents.
D. Drivers were used to looking at the mirrors while driving.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers have found that a traffic ticket reduces a driver’s chance of being involved in a disastrous accident greatly. The effect doesn’t last long, however. Within months, the lead foot is back on the pedal and the risk of killing yourself or someone else is back up to where it was before that policeman stared you in the eye and wrote out that expensive ticket.(研究人员发现,交通罚单大大降低了司机卷入灾难性事故的几率。然而,这种效果不会持续太久。几个月后,你就会重新踩上踏板,而你自己或他人死亡的风险又回到了警察盯着你的眼睛开那张昂贵罚单之前的状态)”可知,在收到交通罚单几个月后,司机可能会和他们以前一样开得快。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Traffic tickets save thousands of lives every year. Yet traffic laws are applied infrequently, almost as if by whim (心血来潮), partly because people just don’t like traffic policemen, and there are lots of other things for the government to spend money on than applying highway safety laws.(交通罚单每年挽救成千上万人的生命。然而,交通法规的实施很少,几乎是一时兴起,部分原因是人们不喜欢交通警察,而且除了实施高速公路安全法,政府还有很多其他的事情要花钱)”可知,交通法规不是政府预算的重点。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Researches looked at the month prior to a disastrous accident, and the number of traffic convictions (定罪), and then the same month in the year before. They found there were fewer tickets in the month before a disastrous accident than there were a year before, which suggests there’s a protective effect of having a ticket.(研究人员查看了灾难性事故发生前的一个月,以及交通事故定罪的数量,然后是前一年的同月。他们发现,灾难性事故发生前一个月的罚单比一年前少,这表明有罚单有保护作用)”可知,交通罚单越多,灾难性事故就会减少。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The scientists also turned up some surprising results. “Most of the crashes did not involve alcohol,” they reported. “The relative risk reduction associated with traffic convictions was remarkably consistent among women and men, regardless of age, prior driving record, and other personal data. Men, however, were involved in far more disastrous accidents than women and the most accident-prone (有倾向的) age was between 30 and 50.”(科学家们还发现了一些令人惊讶的结果。“大多数车祸与酒精无关,”他们报告说。“无论年龄、以前的驾驶记录和其他个人数据如何,与交通定罪相关的相对风险降低在女性和男性中都是非常一致的。然而,男性发生的灾难性事故远比女性多,最容易发生事故的年龄在30至50岁之间”)”可知,无论年龄、以前的驾驶记录和其他个人数据如何,与交通定罪相关的相对风险降低在女性和男性中都是非常一致的,所以研究结果对男性和女性都适用。故选A项。

Certain Chinese cuisines, such as the well-known Roasted Duck from Beijing or the delicious Tianjin-style Pancakes, might appear commonplace to the Chinese, but they have gained global recognition. The appeal of these delicacies is deeply rooted in vast geographical diversity.
Stretching from the extremely cold northern plains to the southern rainforests, different regions have their unique ingredients and cooking techniques. ___16___, commonly referred to as the Eight Major Cuisines of China. These include the rich and flavor-packed dishes of Sichuan, the delicate and varied tastes of Guangdong, the mouth-watering and hearty foods of Shandong, and the spicy and sour flavors of Hunan, among others.
Climate plays a crucial role in shaping regional cuisines. In Sichuan, for example, the hot and wet climate, coupled with the region’s mountainous physical geography, has led to a preference for spicy foods, like Stir-Fried Tofu in Hot Sauce or Spicy Chicken. The spicy flavors add appetite to dishes. In addition, ___17___. The unique conditions of the Sichuan Basin, with its low-lying land and difficulty in losing heat through evaporation (蒸发), contribute to this preference.
One of the most noteworthy contrasts between southern and northern Chinese cuisines lies in the employment of ingredients. Southern dishes tend to be lighter and more delicate, featuring seafood, vegetables, and rice. In contrast, ___18___. They have a wealth of wheat-based dishes like noodles and dumplings.
___19___, regardless of their differences. Dishes are attentively cooked to stimulate the senses and promote a sense of pleasure. The use of fresh, seasonal ingredients, along with the close attention to details in preparation and presentation, defines Chinese cuisine.
Another important aspect of Chinese dining culture is the significance of table manners. Meals are often shared among family and friends, with each person taking turns to serve and pour. Chopsticks, rather than forks or knives, are preferred, symbolizing closeness and familiarity. The act of eating together goes beyond food alone. ___20___.
A. northern cuisines are heavier and more hearty
B. they serve to warm up and remove dampness from the boday
C. This diversity comes down to its geographical and climatic conditions
D. The Chinese people have for centuries crafted varieties of delicious dishes

(菜肴精心烹饪以刺激感官并促进愉悦感。使用新鲜的季节性食材,以及对准备和呈现细节的密切注意,定义了中国菜。)”可知,中国菜肴无论差异如何,都注重精心烹饪以激发感官和愉悦感。选项G中的Chinese cuisines share emphasis on the perfect harmony of color, flavor and taste与上文所述的中国菜肴的烹饪理念相吻合,因此选择G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Meals are often shared among family and friends, with each person taking turns to serve and pour. Chopsticks, rather than forks or knives, are preferred, symbolizing closeness and familiarity. The act of eating together goes beyond food alone. (餐食通常在家人和朋友之间共享,每个人轮流服务和倒酒。比起刀叉,更倾向于使用筷子,象征着亲近和熟悉。一起吃饭的行为超越了食物本身。)”可知,中国人在餐桌上的礼仪,强调了共享食物的文化,以及筷子的使用象征着亲近和熟悉。选项F中的represents a sense of community and the strength of bonds与上文提到的共享食物和筷子使用的文化意义相一致,因此选择F。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,讲述了清朝官员林则徐作为爱国主义的典范和英雄,他对抗鸦片贸易的故事。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:林则徐,清朝的一位高级官员,今天在中国人的心中作为爱国主义的一个榜样被记住。a是不定冠词,用于单数可数名词前,表示“一个”。由于role model是可数名词,此处表示泛指,因此使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查关系代词。句意:他还被认为是一位与鸦片作斗争的伟大英雄。关系代词who用于引导定语从句,指代前面提到的先行词a great hero,并在从句中作主语。故填who。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:当对这种极易上瘾的药物对中国产生的负面影响深感震惊时。on 是介词,表示“对……有影响”。故填on。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:包括士兵在内的许多人变得上瘾了。addicted 是过去分词,可作形容词,用作表语,说明people和soldiers的状态。故填addicted。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他向皇帝发送了几份奏折,试图让鸦片在全国范围内被禁止。trying 是现在分词,用作状语,表示目的,即他发送奏折的目的是要禁止鸦片。故填trying。
【41题详解】
考查动词的被动语态。句意:如果鸦片被允许无限制地传播,几十年内,中国将无法抵抗敌军的力量。was allowed 是动词的被动语态,表示opium是动作的承受者。故填was allowed。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:中国将无法抵抗敌军的力量,更不用说维护国家独立了。forces 是可数名词单数,意思是“武装力量”,这里应该使用复数形式。故填forces。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:驻扎在中国的外国官员决心继续这项业务。stationed是动词,意思是驻扎,在这里需要变成过去分词,用作后置定语,说明这些官员的状态。故填stationed。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:但是,与他们的预期相反,林则徐坚守了他的职责。his 是形容词性物主代词,代替Lin Zexu,指代他自己的职责。故填his。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:除非鸦片被销毁,否则我不会返回北京。until/unless 是连词,引导时间状语从句或条件状语从句,表示“直到……才……”或“除非……否则不……”,符合题意。故填until/unless。

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。
Six hundred anxious parents and relatives sat in the school hall waiting for the talent show to begin. Jane sat alone in the crowd. It seemed everything she did lately, she did alone. Over the past several years the unexpected downward spirals (逐渐下滑) had destroyed her marriage and seriously threatened her financial situation, leaving her exhausted and hopeless. She worried how she was going to provide a future for herself and her eight-year-old daughter, Renee.
Renee had one passion—to learn Irish dance. For several years, with a borrowed CD, she had taught herself a few steps and had even danced in front of both her first and second grade classes. This year, despite their situation, Jane had somehow managed to squeeze enough from her budget to pay for Renee’s dancing lessons. For four months Renee had practiced, determined to perform in this talent show.
Renee could not have been more excited or looked more beautiful than she did tonight in her borrowed Irish costume and shoes. Full of confidence, she was ready to dance! As the program moved through each performance, Jane was anxious and wondered how her little third grade daughter would respond to such a large audience. In her short eight years, Renee had never faced such a challenge.
Finally, it was Renee’s turn. Jane held her breath as the curtain rose and the spotlight piereed (穿透) through the darkness and onto her daughter looking so small and alone on the stage. The audience greeted her with polite applause and the music began.
Renee fell quickly into step with the cheerful Irish tune. Her joy was evident as she danced and spun (旋转) in circles around the stage. A few in the crowd began to clap with the music. More joined in until the entire audience, caught up in the beat, was clapping along with Renee as she danced lightly.
But wait! Jane wanted to shout. What happened
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。
Paragraph 1:
The music shouldn’t have stopped!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
In the silence of that hall, Renee danced on and on.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The music shouldn’t have stopped! The dance wasn’t over. Something had gone wrong but there was nothing Jane could do. Her daughter stood completely alone on that stage, her dance unfinished, with no one to give her direction, a hopeless and confusing situation that Jane couldn’t be more familiar with. However, just as she wondered how her little girl would react, Renee glanced off stage and made a decision in one quick instant: she took her position and began to dance again, with a look of grim determination and with no music at all! The audience, now somewhat confused, grew quiet and watched.
In the silence of that hall, Renee danced on and on. Realizing what happened to this little third grade girl, more and more of the audience started their rhythmic clap again. As she eventually finished every step and bowed deeply, the audience stood and roared their approval with deafening applause, whistles, and loud shouts of “Bravo! Bravo!” Staring at her daughter with a radiant and proud smile, Jane realized something at that moment-something her own daughter had just shown her. Though her own music had stopped, she must keep on dancing. She could keep on dancing! After all, if her daughter could do it, she could, too.
【解析】
