第二部分 阅读(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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Jungle Cruise
Jungle Cruise hits Disney’s streaming service alongside its arrival at cinemas. As such, you’ll have to pay $30 on top of your subscription fee to see it—a high price for a solo viewing, but a great deal for a family session. That’s good news, because this really is a winner of a family movie, thanks to the production values you’d come to expect from a Disney blockbuster(大片) and the chemistry between Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.
Inside Out
Just when we thought Pixar was on the decline, it released Inside Out, one of its most thoughtful and powerful movies. Featuring the voices of Amy Poehler, Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling, Inside Out made over $850 million at the box office upon its 2015 release. It wasn’t just a commercial success, as it scored 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Free Solo
Free Solo is one of the best documentaries ever made. Telling the story of Alex Honnold, the first man to “free solo” El Capitan, it’s a character study of a man who makes the impossible look almost ordinary; an Oscar-winning story that culminates (到达极点)—quite literally—in a close-up view of one of humanity’s wildest achievements.
Aladdin
You can agree or you can disagree, but I believe that Aladdin has the best song lineup of any animated movie that Disney has ever produced. A Whole New World, Prince Ali, Friend Like Me, Arabian Nights—banger after banger (一部接一部). That’s reflected in the critical response: Aladdin is one of the best-rated Disney movies ever, with a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
21. What do we know about the movie Jungle Cruise
A. It takes a total of $30 to see it.
B. It doesn’t require a subscription.
C. It is mainly intended for children.
D. It stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.
22. What makes Aladdin stand out among the movies above
A. Its music. B. Its voice actors.
C. Its approval rating. D. Its dialogues.
23. Which movie tells an inspiring real-life story
A. Jungle Cruise. B. Inside Out. C. Free Solo. D. Aladdin.
B
Melissa Sevigny, a science journalist for Arizona Public Radio, recounts the details of the 1938 river journey of Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter, who, along with their guide, Norm Nevills, and a few other crew members, traveled down the Colorado River with the goal of cataloging (登记) undiscovered plants in the area. The Colorado River was known as the most dangerous river in the world. But for Clover and Jotter, it held-a great appeal: no one had surveyed the Grand Canyon’s plants, and they were determined to be the first.
As women scientists, Clover and Jotter faced scrutiny (监督) even before their trip began. They started in Green River, Utah, and then traveled through Cataract Canyon, Glen Canyon, and the Grand Canyon before ending at Lake Mead. For Clover, the trip fit perfectly with her dream of cataloging all the Southwest’s cacti (a kind of plant), but, more than that, it was a chance to make her mark on the field of botany. As they made their way down the river, they continued to face challenges, including navigating intense rapids, losing one of their three boats, and dealing with aggressive reporters and inaccurate and imaginary news reports. When Clover and Jotter finally reached the entrance of the Grand Canyon, they felt apprehensive, but they decided they had no choice now but to brave the wild river.
Drawing information from the crew’s letters and journals, Sevigny brings us directly into the boats and introduces us to many of the plants that Clover and Jotter surveyed and collected. The author also includes a map of the route and photographic images of the crew at different points along the way. Woven (编织) throughout the narrative of Clover and Jotter is the early history of travel on the Colorado River as well as how Indigenous peoples, Europeans, and the Park Service have shaped the eco logy of the river over time.
As the author notes, women in science still face challenges and barriers; Sevigny hopes that recalling the past will lead to a fairer future.
24. What motivated Clover and Jotter to make the journey
A. The native cultures. B. The plants of the Grand Canyon.
C. The scenery along the river. D. The Southwest’s cactus species.
25. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” mean in paragraph 2
A. Relieved. B. Guilty. C. Anxious. D. Pleased.
26. What can we learn about Clover and Jotter’s adventure
A. They were aided by reporters all the way.
B. They ended their journey with losing three boats.
C. They pioneered in surveying the Colorado River.
D. They took many precious photos alongside the trip.
27. What is the text
A. A diary entry. B. A book review.
C. A news report. D. A travel journal.
C
As a senior resident, I often distributed poems to my team, printing and posting them above the computers in our hospital workrooms. Once, during a rare quiet moment in the ICU, with permission from my colleagues (同事), I read a couple of poems out loud. I remember watching my colleagues’ eyes close and their bodies visibly relax as the words washed over them.
Since then, I have shared poems—my own and others’—in talks at my institution and across the country. I’ve also led other healthcare providers in creative writing exercises during workshops, lectures and classes. Many institutions host book clubs, story slams, film screenings and other opportunities for medical learners to engage with the humanities (人文学科).
While poetry can be frightening to some, many contemporary poems provide approachable emotional experiences. Pieces like Safiya Sinclair’s “Notes on the State of Virginia” fully illustrate how a place that seems innocent or even beautiful to some can be upsetting to others. Monica Sok’s “ABC for Refugees” powerfully paints a portrait of a young child caught between languages and cultures—a reality that many pediatric (儿科的) patients face. “Ode to Small Towns” by Tyree Daye overturn s common assumptions about rural life. In “Medical History”, Nicole Sealey shares a patient’s perspective(视角) on a part of health care that, for many of my students and colleagues, has been reduced to a series of check boxes on a computer screen. These and other poems provide fertile ground for enhanced understanding of the human condition, as well as inspiration for a clinician’s own potentially transformative reflective writing.
The possibilities for cooperation between literature and medicine are wide open. I believe all clinicians have a role in recognizing and dealing with how everyone has been shaped by an unreasonable society. The history, sociopolitical context, imaginative perspective and reflective practices the humanities offer may improve the practice of medicine. Through understanding others’ experiences and reflecting critically on their own, every clinician can move closer to being the kind of healer they intend to be.
28. Why did the author like to share poems at work
A. To cure his patients. B. To bring in the humanities.
C. To make his colleagues amazed. D. To practice for a competition.
29. Whose poem may change people’s beliefs about the countryside
A. Tyree Daye’s. B. Monica Sok’s.
C. Safiya Sinclair’s. D. Nicole Sealey’s.
30. What does Nicole Sealey’s work seem to imply
A. It’s urgent to upgrade the medical equipment.
B. Doctors should have better medical skills.
C. There’s room for improvement in medical care.
D. A patient can be treated from different perspectives.
31. Which statement does the author probably agree with
A. The humanities help make a better doctor.
B. The clinicians are to shape our future society.
C. Doctors must learn from each other’s experiences.
D. Reflective writing greatly benefits a doctor’s skills.
D
Until now, dressing robots, designed to help an elderly person or a person with a disability get dressed, have been created in the laboratory as a one-armed machine, but research has shown that this can be uncomfortable for the person in care.
To solve this problem, Dr Jihong Zhu, a robotics researcher at the University of York’s Institute, proposed a two-armed assistive dressing plan, which has been inspired by caregivers who have demonstrated that specific actions are required to reduce discomfort to the individual in their care.
Dr Zhu gathered important information on how care workers moved during a dressing exercise, through allowing a robot to observe and learn from human movements and then, through AI, generate a model that mimics (模仿) how human helpers do their task. This allowed the researchers to gather enough data to illustrate that two hands were needed for dressing and not one, as well as information on the angles that the arms make.
Dr Zhu said, “We know that practical tasks, such as getting dressed, can be done by a robot, freeing up a care worker to concentrate more on providing companionship and observing the general well-being of the individual in their care. It has been tested in the laboratory, but for this to work outside of the lab, we really need to understand how care workers do this task in real life.”
“We’ve adopted a method called learning from demonstration, which means that you don’t need an expert to programme a robot; a human just needs to demonstrate the motion that is required of the robot and the robot learns that action. It is clear that for care workers two arms are needed to properly attend to the needs of individuals,” Dr. Zhu said. “With the current one-armed machine scheme a patient is required to do too much work in order for a robot to assist them, moving their arm up in the air or bending it in ways that they might not be able to do.”
32. What’s the problem with the one-armed dressing robot
A. It causes discomfort. B. It moves too slowly.
C. It has an ugly appearance. D. It lacks flexibility.
33. Dr Zhu got the inspiration for his new plan from ______.
A. some books B. AI models in the market
C. a dressing exercise D. the healthcare providers
34. What’s one purpose of Dr Zhu’s designing a two-armed dressing robot
A. To give better demonstrations.
B. To allow caregivers more time to do other things.
C. To make it a better companion for the needy.
D. To improve the well-being of the care workers.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Taking Care with Caregiving Robots
B. Robot Could Help People Get Dressed
C. Caregiving Robots: the Future of Health Care
D. University Scientists Create Two-Armed Caregiving Robot

The environment has never been more in need of a helping hand from us. Schools, in particular, are in a great position to educate future generations and make sure that good environmental habits are learned and adopted from an early age. So, ranging from energy efficiency to recycling, here are our tips to make your school more eco-friendly and sustainable.
☆ 36
Sending waste to landfill to slowly rot away isn’t the best use of the world’s resources. Plus, the space available for landfill is rapidly running out. Instead, boost recycling by providing appropriate and appealing facilities with clear signage (标识). 37 .
☆Turn off the lights and fit energy-efficient light bulbs
Saving energy used for lighting is one of the easiest things that we can do. 38 . Turn off lights when they’re not needed. Signage asking people to turn off the lights can act as a useful reminder.
☆Go paperless
39 , with paper now being seen as outdated in many cases. This is good news for the environment, but it sometimes needs people to change how they do things. Look into options for creating and using fewer paper-based administration systems at school and think twice before printing or photocopying all those A4 pages, for example.
☆Reject plastic water bottles
Recent television programs and campaigns have raised the issue of waste plastic towards the top of the environmental agenda. In some ways, this isn’t surprising because, again, it is relatively easy for everyone to make a difference to the environment with minimal effort. 40 . Just stop buying brand-new water bottles that are used once and then recycled, and reuse existing bottles and containers instead.
A. Encourage and enable recycling
B. The world is becoming ever more digital
C. All it takes is a little bit of planning ahead
D. Get everyone involved with clean-up days
E. It will also save money on buying traditional materials
F. Try to maximize the use of natural light as much as possible
G. This is the key to preventing pollution of different waste streams

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。
Laughter is said to be the best medicine in our life. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Laughter lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you more focused on the positive. I like to laugh and be happy whenever there is a reason for it. Cracking jokes usually makes us happy and light-hearted after a day of hard work, and so do many funny incidents which we may sometimes experience in our daily life.
However, today, I would like to talk about a funny incident that happened to me a few years ago, when I was still a student at primary school. That very incident took place at a birthday party held at my aunt’s house. In fact, it was a birthday party held for one of my little cousins.
On that special occasion, everybody, including all of my family members, close relatives and some of the little friends of my cousin’s, was invited to the party on a lovely summer evening in order to enjoy the party. By the way, the party was supposed to be concluded as early as possible, because all the little guests, friends of my cousin’s, needed to return to their homes safely before it was getting too late at night. So, after several hours of busy preparations, the party formally started at around 8 pm. The adults and the kids all came up to the table and gently opened up the various colorful gift boxes one by one with a formal ceremony. Once we were done with opening the gift boxes, the time came for us to sing the “Happy Birthday to You” song in chorus, and we all sang the song in order to wish a very happy birthday to my little cousin. Finally came the moment we all had been waiting for eagerly. And we were ready to open the cake box and cut the birthday cake.
注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To our surprise, the cake had already been cut! __________________________________________________

W: Three scientists have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in helping to understand the evolution of the universe. Half of the $918,000 in prize money will go to Canadian-born James Peebles, a retired professor at Princeton University in the United States. The other half of the award will go to Michael Mayor and Didier Queloz, both of whom work in the University of Geneva in Switzerland. In 1995, the two men announced the first discovery of a planet outside our solar system. Didier Queloz also works at the University of Cambridge in England.
Scientists have praised Peebles as one of the most influential scientists of his time. They say he recognized the importance of a huge explosion billions of years ago. Scientists call the explosion “the Big Bang”. The Nobel committee said Peebles’ theory about the universe led to the foundation of our modern understanding of the universe’s history, from the Big Bang to the present day.
Peebles laughed repeatedly when he spoke by telephone with The Associated Press. He talked about hearing the news on the phone before sun rise and thinking that “it’s either something very wonderful or it’s something horrible”.

One possible version:
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m Li Hua from Class 5, Grade 3 of our school. I’m writing to seek your help regarding idioms. I find it quite challenging to grasp the meanings of some idioms while reading English texts. They often confuse me, and I’m not sure how to interpret them correctly. I know that idioms are a crucial part of English language learning, and I am eager to improve my understanding of them.
I would really appreciate it if you could share some strategies or tips on how to better understand and remember idioms. Your guidance would be invaluable to me. Thank you very much for your time and support.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
To our surprise, the cake had already been cut! What’s worse, almost half of the cake was missing! Without a clue as to what exactly had really happened, we all started to look at each other’s face in great shock. Then we suddenly noticed my aunt smiling in a corner of the room. Once approached by us, she spared no time in letting out her secret about giving her “fair share” of the cake to a homeless man in the street just now!
Hearing what my aunt said, we expressed our willingness to give our share to the homeless. We all felt a sense of warmth and kindness spreading among us. We decided to join my aunt and cut more cake to give to those in need. As we handed out the pieces of cake, smiles filled the faces of the recipients and us. It was a beautiful moment, showing that even a small act of kindness can make a big difference. We realized that this unexpected turn of events had turned into a memorable and meaningful celebration.
