第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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
What is the definition of a dumpling In its most basic sense, it’s a pocket of flour filled with some form of tasty stuffing. And the easy ideas are surely the best. Dumplings are a popular food across the globe: both simple and complex, local and global, adaptable yet fixed in their home regions. Here are 4 of our favorites around the world to get your mouth watering.
Xiaolongbao
Served steamed in bamboo baskets, Xiaolongbao look different from other types of Chinese dumplings, as the skin is gathered at the top instead of folded in half. Xiaolongbao are also unique in that aside from the traditional pork filling, a small piece of aspic（肉冻）is folded into the dumpling, which melts when steamed. Thanks to the thick soup, the filling stays juicy and flavorful.
Ravioli
Italy is the home of filled pasta, and ravioli is one of its most famous offerings. Ravioli can be packed with anything from meat to cheese to vegetables, or any combination thereof. If the processed canned or bagged varieties familiar to lazy college students make up your only impression of ravioli, change that as soon as possible, preferably with a trip to Rome.
Sichuan spicy wonton
The spicy Sichuan wonton, or Chaoshou, comes to the table in spicy chili oil flavored with Sichuan pepper. The Chaoshou is boiled, and the very best ones are so slippery that they’re nearly impossible to pick up with chopsticks. The combination of tasty meat, smooth wonton skin and tongue-numbing oil, makes for the most pleasant runny nose you’ve ever had.
Siomay
Siomay, a steamed fish dumpling, is closely related to the Chinese dim sum snack, shumai. Think of Siomay as the Indonesian street food version of shumai, which is traditionally found in Chinese dim sum restaurants. Adopted from Chinese Indonesian cuisine, the most popular variant of Siomay is found in Bandung. The best way to sample these dumplings is from a street seller carrying a steamer on his bicycle.
21. Why are Xiaolongbao different from other Chinese dumplings
A. They are served in bamboo baskets. B. The skin is typically folded in half.
C. They are traditionally filled with pork. D. They become juicy when cooked.
22. What can be learned about the dumplings mentioned
A. Canned Ravioli is preferred in Rome. B. Chaoshou features its smooth skin.
C. Siomay is found in Chinese restaurants. D. Shumai is a street food in Bandung.
23. What is the purpose of this text
A. To present ways of making dumplings. B. To promote Chinese food and culture.
C. To explore global dumpling diversities. D. To introduce popular street snacks.
B
I fell in love with rhinos when I worked in a zoo in the 80s, and spent much of the next 20 years as the keeper of the largest captive（圈养）group of rare black rhinos.
There’s a popular misconception that rhinos are aggressive and stupid, but I discovered sensitive, affectionate animals. Weighing over a ton, black rhinos are unexpectedly swift and have an unpredictable nature — but, given reassurance, they can be very trusting. In the past few decades, their numbers have dropped dramatically. In recent years, I’ve helped look after rhinos being moved to animal shelters, so they can form new populations in countries that have few left.
Last year, I helped on a project to fly five black rhinos from a private reserve in South Africa to the Serengeti National Park. Once there, the animals had to be kept captive for a few weeks to adapt to the new environment, in which time they lived in bomas — wooden enclosures（围场）with bedrooms, designed to create a calm space.
A couple of weeks before their planned release, the sky filled with smoke. Watching the flames rushing through the bush toward the bomas, I froze. Terrified that it would catch fire, my instinct was to release the rhinos, but they hadn’t yet been fitted with transmitters（信号传送器）. If I let them out into a bushfire and they were injured, we’d have great difficulty tracking them down.
So I rushed back to the bomas and called the rhinos to the bedrooms. Sensing the fear in my voices, they moved without hesitation and remained astonishingly calm. It was crucial the rhinos didn’t panic — they can easily hurt each other if they do.
Meanwhile, the keepers managed to beat the closest flames away. At last, after half an hour, the wind changed direction and the fire began to die down.
That we and the rhinos had escaped uninjured was a miracle. The teamwork of everybody there played a large part, and the rhinos were very much a part of that team. The relationships we’d built with them had proved crucial — had they or we panicked, all our work would have been in vain. Instead, two weeks later, they were released into the wild, ready to found part of a new population in the Serengeti.
24. What kind of animals does the author think rhinos are
A. Mild giants.
B. Aggressive killers.
C. Unfriendly creatures.
D. Reliable companions.
25. What can we infer from the passage
A. Black rhinos can easily get along well with human beings.
B. Measures have been taken to save black rhinos from extinction.
C. Black rhinos cannot survive if they aren’t kept captive in bomas.
D. The black rhino population has sharply decreased due to bushfire.
26. Why didn’t the author let the rhinos out in the bushfire
A. They would panic and hurt each other.
B. It could be difficult to locate and find them.
C. They showed signs of anger and aggression.
D. They might fail to adapt to new environments.
27. What is the best title of this passage
A. Saving the Rhinos.
B. Rush to Assumption.
C. A Bushfire Rescue.
D. A Bond Beyond Words.
C
The first transplant surgery to combine a mechanical（机械的）heart pump as well as a gene-edited pig kidney has recently been completed at NYU Langone Health.
The subject, 54-year-old Lisa Pisano of New Jersey, had heart failure and end-stage kidney disease. But she couldn’t have a standard heart or kidney transplant because of certain medical conditions and an overall lack of donor organs in the US. According to the Organ Transplantation Network, roughly 27,000 kidneys were transplanted last year, but nearly 89,000 people were on the waiting list for those organs.
Pisano got the heart pump on April 4 and then, on April 12, received a pig kidney, which was gene-edited to help keep the human body from recognizing the animal’s organ as foreign and rejecting it. “The editing process was to disrupt a gene responsible for the production of a sugar found on the surface of animal cells called alpha-gal, which can be recognized by human antibodies（抗体）and attacked,” said Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute, who led the surgery.
Montgomery noted that the gene edits used in the pig in this case are much simpler than those used in other transplants. “We’re going to have an opportunity to really address the problem that we’re trying to address, which is the scarcity of organs, and the more complex the gene edits, the less likely it is that you’ll be able to produce those edits into a pig group. You would have to clone every pig for each organ. That is not something that can be easily achieved. So, we feel like less is more in this case.”
“Pisano has a long way to go and we are watching out for rejections,” he said, “but her kidney is functioning beautifully, and her heart is in much better shape. What previously existed in science fiction is now a reality.” Doctors expect that she might be discharged within a month.
28. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The difficulties Pisano encountered. B. The way of transplanting organs.
C. The significance of human antibodies. D. The function of gene-editing.
29. What does the underlined word “scarcity” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Complexity. B. Expense. C. Shortage. D. Simplicity.
30. How did Montgomery feel about the outcome of the surgery
A. Worried. B. Grateful. C. Confused. D. Optimistic.
31. What type of writing is the text
A. A news report. B. An academic paper.
C. A personal story. D. Science fiction.
D
It has always been assumed that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Dr. Ravandi, a botanist at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, has revealed that plants suffer too.
That plants can be affected indirectly by noise pollution has never been in doubt. What has remained unknown is whether or not plants themselves suffer directly from noise pollution.
Sounds are pressure waves transmitted（传播）through gases, liquids and solids. Scientists have previously assumed plants may be able to sense these waves as they are struck by them. A number of experiments have confirmed this in recent years — plants exposed to ultrasound in the lab have shown a range of negative responses including the expression of stress-related genes, slow growth and reduced seed development.
Yet exposing plants to ultrasound is not the same as growing them in the presence of actual traffic noise. To this end, Dr. Ravandi decided to set up an experiment to explore it.
Working with a team, Dr. Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments — marigolds and sage. The plants, grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space, were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels（分贝）of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.
None of the plants exposed to the traffic noise did well. Analysis of their leaves revealed all of them were suffering. Chemical compounds（化合物）, such as hydrogen peroxide (H O ) and malondialdehyde (MDA) , are indicators of stress in plants and both were found at much higher levels in the plants exposed to the traffic noise. Most notably, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the sage plants exposed to noise were double what they were in those grown in silence and hydrogen peroxide (H O ) levels were three times higher in marigolds grown with the noise than those grown in silence.
Dr. Ravandi’s findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the vibrations（震动）generated by the noise of traffic still bother them enough to give rise to dramatic stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to drought, highly concentrated salt or heavy metals in their soil.
The question now arises whether all species are affected similarly by noise pollution. Nature is not silent. It remains a mystery if certain plant species have developed mechanisms to address noise pollution, which could potentially be transferred to urban plants in the future.
32. What did the new study focus on
A. Plants’ exposure to ultrasound.
B. Plants’ sensitivity to pressure waves.
C. The direct impact of noise pollution on plants.
D. The seed development of plants grown with noise.
33. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The facilities of the experiment. B. The analyses of the experiment.
C. The process of the experiment. D. The background of the experiment.
34. What do we know about the findings
A. Noise pollution had a little impact on plant leaves.
B. Noise-exposed plants showed certain levels of stress.
C. MDA levels in sage plants grown in silence were higher.
D. Traffic noise caused rapid pressure responses in all plants.
35. Which might be the potential significance of the findings
A. Building barriers to protect plants from traffic pollution.
B. Studying the relationship between soil quality and plant health.
C. Exploring strategies to preserve plant ecosystems in rural areas.
D. Developing noise-resistant plant species for an urban environment.

Having thousands of photographs, songs, and films available at our fingertips would have seemed amazing just a few decades ago. 36 Could the digitalisation of cultural objects put a time limit on our memories
The materials phones and computers are made of can decay（腐烂）over time, impacting the data that they store. 37 Yet when digital data is destroyed, it can quickly make it impossible to even open a file. Also, as formats and devices become out of date, it may become impossible to read files from previous decades.
38 Large companies can still lose data. In 2019, social media platform MySpace admitted losing over 12 years’ worth of users’ music uploads. The widespread use of streaming services for music, TV, and film means people no longer own the content that they watch and listen to. They just pay for the right to access it, which is called licensing. If streaming companies decide to remove content, or go out of business, users will lose access.
Licensing rather than purchasing content is an example of how our behavior towards digital content has changed. Another example is that we take far more pictures than people did in the past. 39 And we must also consider what to keep and what to delete.
So, what can we do Technology writer Jack Schofield said that “data doesn’t exist unless you have at least two copies of it”. 40 Academic Paul Royster suggests that we should all take time to consider what content we personally believe is worth saving. Perhaps the answer is just to avoid digital altogether. Science and Technology writer Chris Baranaiuk calls for a cultural movement towards buying analogue (实体的) copies of cultural content.
A. This adds to the challenge of keeping our data safe.
B. But how long will these files last for and be available
C. Storing information in the cloud can also help preserve it.
D. Images can still be seen in discolored physical photographs.
E. Storing your uploads on a cloud service can present problems as well.
F. However, it’s common presently thanks to technological advancements.
G. So it’s important that we keep backup copies of what is important to us.

Talk to any “successful” person and you’ll quickly realize success doesn’t come suddenly. First comes 41 , and it takes perseverance to 42 past the discouragement it brings.
Popular actress Meryl Streep has been winning awards since the 1980’s. Yet, she shares a story from before she 43 .
Before she earned herself the 44 of “the best actress of her generation”, she had to 45 her own insecurities and setbacks. Meryl says, “I didn’t have 46 in my beauty when I was young.” So, imagine how disappointing it was for a(an) 47 actress to be denied by a major role based 48 on her looks!
It was the mid-1970’s, and Meryl Streep was struggling to make a 49 for herself. Certainly the young actress was 50 excited when she was 51 to meet a major Italian film producer. But as Meryl walked into his office, he turned and asked, “Who brings me this 52 thing ”
Had she accepted this 53 opinion as fact and considered herself “too ugly” to ever succeed in Hollywood, Meryl Streep would have never become a 54 name. “I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to 55 myself from any concern with my looks,” Meryl says. “For an actress, worrying about appearance is a horrible, horrible 56 .”
Meryl refused to 57 her dream, and she’s since enjoyed a 58 that’s spanned several decades. The actress has won 2 Emmy’s, 8 Golden Globes and 3 Oscars, among many others, and currently holds the 59 record for the most Academy Award acting nominations（提名）.
Meryl bravely chose not to place her focus on her looks but on her 60 . Failure is part of life. But when we do encounter it, it’s important to fight on.
41. A. failure B. trouble C. recognition D. prejudice
42. A. soldier on B. move on C. take on D. call on
43. A. made it big B. set it aside C. put it down D. got it over
44. A. possession B. reputation C. fame D. title
45. A. tolerate B. criticize C. perceive D. battle

48. A. previously B. merely C. randomly D. subsequently
49. A. fortune B. living C. name D. difference
50. A. incredibly B. literally C. hardly D. secretly
51. A. guaranteed B. invited C. suggested D. motivated
52. A. rare B. rigid C. ugly D. proud
53. A. misunderstood B. misapplied C. misguided D. misaimed

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
One cannot help but wonder 61 the man was holding, when looking up to the famous bronze standing man, in Sanxingdui, 62 archaeological（考古）site located in Sichuan province.
63 the numerous bronze statues there, this giant standing bronze figure, 64 (measure) 260.8 centimeters in height, is the “highest” ruler. People argue over just about all 65 (aspect) of him, from identity and dragon-patterned clothing, to delicate headpiece. Yet nothing has aroused more interest than 66 (he) gestures. With arms raised in midair and fingers of both hands circled to form a hole in the middle, the man 67 (doubt) was holding something, something that is likely to have been lost or rotted away after countless years.
But what was it
“It’s a gold scepter（权杖）,” says Hu Jialin, who is behind a well-researched 68 (exhibit) at Shanghai Museum, which takes a deeper look at the myths of Sanxingdui.
The reason is simple: just a month before the unearthing of the bronze man, a 1.42-meter-long gold scepter was found at the same site, made up of a layer of gold foil（金箔）wrapped around a wooden stick. 69 initially mistaken for a belt as the wooden part long rotted away, this gold scepter
70 (prove) to be one of the biggest of its kind found in China and beyond.

It’s believed that unique chance is offered by sports to meet people with a sharing passion. I remembered being in primary school that everyone loved playing sports, no matter their gender. At lunchtime, girls and boys played soccer together and have a lot of fun. Therefore, as we entered our teenage years and grew old, only boys kept their love of sports. I think the situation can change only when more young girls stick to sports and begin to influence on others to take part in it. With female role model like Eileen Gu, I hope that this process of change is underway.

A proposal to the Student Union
As the Student Union aims to establish a Chinese cultural club, I am thrilled to present my proposal.
Chinese culture is a treasure chest of diverse traditions, arts, and philosophies, reflecting a rich history and profound wisdom. Therefore, setting up a Chinese culture club in our school is essential to provide a platform for members to explore, appreciate, and preserve the cultural heritage.
I suggest immersing students in the richness of Chinese culture through activities. To offer new cultural insights, the club can hold engaging activities, such as regular lectures, calligraphy workshops, and traditional festival celebrations. Additionally, visits to museums and cultural landmarks will allow members to experience the charm of Chinese culture firsthand.
This club will definitely be a valuable addition to school community and revive our passion for Chinses culture. I hope the Student Union will consider my proposal.

W: OK. And which room do you want to rent out
M: Just the master bedroom plus the use of the rest of the house — the living room and the kitchen. The master bedroom itself has a bathroom.
W: OK. Can you just tell me the address, please
M: Yeah sure, it’s 1380 No. 1 Road, Richmond.
W: And how much are you thinking of for the room
M: Do you think $800 per month would be an acceptable price
W: I think that’s OK. You’d get at least $1,200 if you were in Vancouver. Well, is it nice I mean it’s got a view and things
M: Sure, it looks out over a big lake and some trees. No garden, but there’s a lot to look at from the south-facing windows.
W: OK. That’s all. I’ll post the information on the website of our company.
M: Thanks.

本文是应用文，介绍了不同地区不同风格dumplings的基本信息。
21. D 细节理解题。由Xiaolongbao部分“a small piece of aspic（肉冻）is folded into the dumpling, which melts when steamed.”可知，答案选D。
22. B 细节理解题。由Sichuan spicy wonton部分“The combination of tasty meat, smooth wonton skin and tongue-numbing oil, makes for the most pleasant runny nose you’ve ever had.”由此可知，答案选B。
23. 主旨大意题。本文介绍了全球四个不同地区的dumplings及其分别的特点，故答案选C。
阅读B
本文是一篇记叙文，描述了黑犀牛在火灾中被救援的故事，从中体现了人与犀牛之间的信任。
24. C 推理判断题。由文章第二段第一句 “There’s a popular misconception that rhinos are aggressive and stupid, but I discovered sensitive, affectionate animals.” 可知认为犀牛笨拙且有攻击性的观点是错误的。故选A。
25. A 推理判断题。由第一段最后一句中的“rare”以及第二段中“In the past few decades, their numbers have dropped dramatically.”“…, so they can form new populations in countries that have few left.” 可知犀牛的数量稀少，而“…, and spent much of the next 20 years as the keeper of the largest captive（圈养）group of rare black rhinos.” “I’ve helped look after rhinos being moved to animal shelters,…”，说明人类已经采取措施保护黑犀牛。故B项正确。
26. A 细节理解题。由文章第四段第三四句“…, but they hadn’t yet been fitted with transmitters（信号传送器）. If I let them out into a bushfire and they were injured, we’d have great difficulty tracking them down.” 可知没有信号传送器的犀牛难以被找到。故选B。
27. D 主旨大意题。本文最后一段是故事的升华, 由最后一段“The teamwork of everybody there played a large part, and the rhinos were very much a part of that team. The relationships we’d built with them had proved crucial — had they or we panicked, all our work would have been in vain.”可知黑犀牛在火灾中获救的关键在于它们对人类的信任。故选D。
阅读C
本文为新闻，介绍了首例结合机械心脏泵和基因编辑猪肾的移植手术在纽约大学朗格尼医疗中心完成这件事。
28. D 主旨大意题。由第三段“…received a pig kidney, which was gene-edited to help keep the human body from recognizing the animal’s organ as foreign and rejecting it.”“The editing process was to disrupt a gene responsible for the production of a sugar found on the surface of animal cells called alpha-gal, which can be recognized by human antibodies（抗体）and attacked.”可知，本段主要阐述了基因编辑在移植过程中的作用——避免排异反应，故答案选D。
29. C 猜测词义题。 由第四段“…the gene edits used in the pig in this case are much simpler than those used in other transplants.” “…and the more complex the gene edits, the less likely it is that you’ll be able to produce those edits into a pig group. You would have to clone every pig for each organ. That is not something that can be easily achieved. So, we feel like less is more in this case.”由此可知，基因编辑越简单，就越容易量产，因此可以解决器官短缺的问题，故答案选C。
30. D 推理判断题。由最后一段“but her kidney is functioning beautifully, and her heart is in much better shape. What previously existed in science fiction is now a reality.”可知，作者对手术的结果持乐观积极的态度，故答案选D。
31. A 推理判断题。文章第一段“The first transplant surgery to combine a mechanical（机械的）heart pump as well as a gene-edited pig kidney has recently been completed at NYU Langone Health.”为本文的导语，概述了新闻的内容。同时，“recently”一词也体现出了文章的时效性。故答案选A。
阅读D
这是一个关于噪声污染对植物直接影响的新发现的科学报告。
32 C细节题 从文章第二段That plants can be affected indirectly by noise pollution has never been in doubt. What has remained unknown is whether or not plants themselves suffer directly from noise pollution. 和第四段Yet exposing plants to ultrasound is not the same as growing them in the presence of actual traffic noise. To this end, Dr Ravandi decided to set up an experiment to explore it. 可知，正确答案为C。
33. C段落大意题 第五段讲Dr Ravandi 先在实验室播种植物种子，等它们发芽、成熟两个月后进行对照试验，最后选取所有植物新长出来的嫩叶作为样本进行研究。这是介绍的实验过程，所以选C。
34. B细节题 根据第6段Chemical compounds（化合物）, such as hydrogen peroxide (H O ) and malondialdehyde (MDA) , are indicators of stress in plants and both were found at much higher levels in the plants exposed to the traffic noise.和第7段though plants lack ears, the vibrations （震动）generated by the noise of traffic still bother them enough to give rise to dramatic stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to drought, highly concentrated salt or heavy metals in their soil.可知，正确答案为B。
35. D推断题 根据最后一段It remains a mystery if certain plant species have developed mechanisms to address noise pollution, which could potentially be transferred to urban plants in the future.可知，自然界可能存在抗噪音的植物机制，这有可能在未来被人类发现和并为城市环境培育抗噪声植物物种。正确答案为D。
七选五
36 B 空前句子意为：现在的数字化在几十年前是令人惊讶的。空后句子意为：数字化是否能给我们的记忆带来时间限制？ 前后有转折关系，选项B But how long will these files last for and be available （但这些文件还能保存多久？） 符合这个语境。
37 D 空前意思是：手机和电脑的材料会随着时间的推移而衰变，从而影响其存储的数据。空后的意思是：但当数字数据被毁坏时，甚至很快就无法打开文件。选项D Images can still be seen in discolored physical photographs. （从褪色的照片中仍能看到图像）与数字数据的潜在丢失形成对比。
38 E 整段介绍了人们在网上存储的数据有丢失的风险。38空处是本段的主题句。
39 A 空前的句子提到我们拍摄的照片比过去多得多。空后的句子指出我们还必须考虑哪些需要保留，哪些可以丢弃。根据全文的谈论主题是数字化带来的风险，说明此处的意思是：过多照片的数字化带来的风险。所以选A。
40 G 本段为全文的结束段，探讨了一些数字化风险的解决方案。空前的内容为解决方案之一，根据上文可知选项G放在这里符合句意。
