阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Pedal Street by Breeze
Reviewer Anna Martino, age 13
Breeze has released Pedal Street after a two-year wait, in spite of pressure from fans and the record company. Fans had been told to expect something special and this is a masterpiece. This band’s music is exceptional. The song lyrics (歌词) express emotions that are felt by everybody, focusing on topics other artists seem to prefer not to sing about. Breeze uses an interesting mix of styles including classical strings (弦乐器) and modern guitar riffs (重复段).
Thrill by Skydiggers
Reviewer Alexis Walker, age 14
Skydiggers, a Canadian rock group, have released the album Thrill, which was recorded over two years. Although some tunes are difficult to tell apart from each other in the sense that Suzi Tarrant’s voice doesn’t vary from song to song, the album will soon be permanently fixed on your playlist.
Silver Honeybees by Lena and the Lantanas
Reviewer Sam Roberts, age 16
Lena has been allowed to sing all types of songs here in order to really show what she can do. And in case you think that her new far-ranging style may not be attractive to a youthful teenage fan base, remember that her teen audience is sure to grow along with her as she makes more music. While some bands include good beats but have meaningless lyrics that make you feel slightly sick, or sing songs with meaningful words yet make a terrible sound, the Lantanas are different and a rare find.
Hungry Rock by April Sapa
Reviewer Julie Zhang, age 14
The album covers everything a teenager can feel: love, hate, acceptance and even boredom. It is an excellent combination of easy listening, even though there are several songs that could easily have been left out, resulting in a better album overall.
21. What can we learn about Pedal Street
A. It was a let-down for fans. B. It is emotional and unusual.
C. It was prepared in a short time. D. It mainly consists of rock music.
22. What does Roberts say about Silver Honeybees
A. It attracts people of all ages. B. It makes you feel heartbroken.
C. It covers several types of music. D. It has both good words and sounds.
23. What type of writing is this text
A. Reports. B. Music reviews. C. Advertisements. D. Event announcements.
B
For the past 13 years, Martin Burrows has been working as a long-distance truck driver. Spending up to five nights a week on the road can be a lonely business, leaving him with plenty of time to notice his surroundings. “I kept seeing more rubbish everywhere and it was getting on my nerves. I decided I had to do something about it,” he says. One day, he stopped his vehicle, took out a trash bag and started picking up the garbage. The satisfaction after clearing a small area was remarkable.
Before his time on the road, Burrows spent over two decades in the military as a vehicle driver. His service saw him stationed throughout Europe and also on tours in Afghanistan. After returning to civilian life, he was diagnosed with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) and had a mental health crisis in 2017. His involvement in fundraising for Help for Heroes led him to meet a man who used model-building as a distraction from PTSD. Burrows realized that his act of roadside cleanup had a similar calming effect on his mental well-being.
By 2019, Burrows had begun using his free time on the road to regularly clean up garbage. A passerby encouraged him to set up a Facebook group, which he called Truckers Cleaning Up Britain. “I was worried I’d be the laughing stock of my town for putting videos and photos up of me cleaning but people started to join,” he says. “I was amazed. The local council stepped in and gave me litter-picking supplies and we’re up to almost 3,000 members now.”
Since truckers are so often on the move, the Facebook page acts as a means of raising awareness rather than a platform for organizing cleanups. Burrows expressed his intention to continue the cleanup efforts as long as his physical condition allowed, as he still found joy in the process.
24. What initially caused Burrows to pick up roadside garbage
A. He wanted to kill time by picking up litter.
B. He aimed to raise fund for soldiers with PTSD.
C. He felt annoyed to see the increasing rubbish.
D. He received the assignment from his employer.
25. How did collecting roadside garbage affect Burrows’ PTSD
A. It resulted in his embarrassment. B. It increased his sense of isolation.
C. It worsened his stress and anxiety. D. It brought him comfort and relief.
26. What concerned Burrows when he started Truckers Cleaning Up Britain
A. He feared being teased for his action.
B. He was lacking in advanced cleanup tools.
C. He was unsure about the group’s development.
D. He worried about the local council’s disapproval.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Joyful Volunteer Experience B. A Trucker’s Cleanup Initiative
C. A Fighting Hero against PTSD D. A Platform for Environmentalists
C
A wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb (蜂巢) seems to somehow learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers (觅食者) who live near them.
This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. “That’s the signal to the Hadza to really start searching,” says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk.
It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country.
This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. “This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there’s a learning process involved,” says Wood.
But how do the birds learn It’s still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers get the honey—which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds.
28. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Para.2 mean
A. Eye-catching. B. Care-free. C. Naughty. D. Noisy.
29. What can we know about the birds
A. They are raised by humans.
B. They help cut open the tree trunk.
C. They feed on honey as their annual diet.
D. They can distinguish different whistles.
30. Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering
A. A complex dilemma. B. An unfair trade.
C. A double-edged sword. D. A win-win cooperation.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The familiar signal in the forest.
B. A talented expert in hunting the bees.
C. A wonderful guide to collecting honey.
D. The human-animal communication in Tanzania.
D
As people hold different views on almost anything, we live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others, yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.
So what is the possible solution to criticism
If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.
It is important to remain emotionally connected with what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake Could I have done better Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand If so, how can I improve myself As for chronic (习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.
In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.
32. What may the author think of people who prefer to judge others
A. Warm-hearted. B. Self-centered. C. Talkative. D. Responsible.
33. What does a person probably convey by saying “OK” according to paragraph 3
A. He thinks the suggestions are helpful.
B. He defenses himself with the response.
C. He agrees with the comments completely.
D. He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.
34. What is the key to making an objective observer according to paragraph 4
A. Having debates. B. Accepting criticism.
C. Keeping calm. D. Avoiding criticizers.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To make a judgment on others. B. To explain some social behavior.
C. To call for action against attack. D. To give advice on facing criticism.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology (方法论) that redefines how you approach your life and work. It relies on the idea that you need to simplify your workload. If you frequently feel overwhelmed or you just have too much going on, this method might be great for you. 36 However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components:
37 Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future.
Clarify what you have written down. Look at each task and identify the steps you can take to complete it. Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps. 38 Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead.
Organize by creating a to-do list, putting action items on your calendar, assigning smaller tasks, filing away (把……归档) reference materials to create a timely, structured approach to getting it done.
Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis. 39 Try using an “after-action review” to comprehensively go over what you’ve done and what you need to work on or stick with as you move forward.
Engage by tackling your action items knowingly and actively. You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself. 40
A little stress can push you to be more productive, but too much will have the opposite effect, so using the GTD method can really make you calm and confident.
A. Seize whatever is coming into your head.
B. Note down the main concerns in your daily life.
C. Sometimes you may feel it tough to work out the plan.
D. Then you have all in place and work toward goal completion gradually.
E. The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book.
F. This could mean every Monday, you check it, update or revise something.
G. You may find that there are no actionable steps associated with some task.

第二节（满分25分）
When Dr. Henderson was assigning (指定) project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped that he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all, I hoped he wouldn’t assign me to work with the fiercely competitive and extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate (命运) would have it, Dr. Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I weren’t there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasn’t mean or rude; he just gave me the impression that he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone. I tried to make the best of the opportunity and didn’t say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis (假说), set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings. Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project, I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades — the exact opposite of me. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out (退缩). I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers. I wasn’t sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic.
Paragraph 1: We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans.
Paragraph 2: One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease.

Development of Transport in China
From the vehicle of horses to today’s convenient transport, Chinese transport has an enormous development. Over the last few decades, China has adopted innovative solutions to make its transport network more sustainable.
Firstly, shared bicycles, as an eco-friendly mode of transport, have provided a new way for people to travel around freely in cities. Secondly, China’s high-speed train network has greatly improved travel efficiency and promoted connectivity between cities, facilitating economic growth and cultural exchange. Lastly, the rise of new energy vehicles has contributed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission, leading to a cleaner environment.
In conclusion, these advancements demonstrate China’s commitment to a more sustainable and efficient transport future. Thank you for your attention!
续写范文：
We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. Serious as my teammate was, we gradually grew in good tune with each other. Intelligent and brainy, he had a unique way with technical things and approached every detail with a clear purpose. Meanwhile, I spared no effort to do my bit, collecting data and recording results carefully, so as to compensate for my academic disadvantage. I fully discussed my ideas and shared my insights with him, who was once indifferent but later listened to me with close attention. With days wearing on,We were making steady progress with our project.
One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. The moment I saw him lying helplessly in bed, I resolved I had to act alone and do my utmost. Having assured him I would not let him down and that he should concentrate on recovering, I poured more time and energy into that project than ever before, and finally presented our findings to the class, which surprisingly earned us an excellent grade! No sooner had I informed him of our shared success than he cracked a radiant smile, which I thought would stick in my mind for good.
C篇【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一种将人类带到有蜂巢的树上的非洲野鸟似乎不知何故学会了住在它们附近的人类觅食者独特的口哨声和叫声，从而帮助人类和自己获得蜂蜜。
28. 词句猜测题。根据上文“With its noisy chattering sound (这只鸟叽叽喳喳叫得很响)”可知，响亮的叫声这只鸟引人注目，由此可知，conspicuous意为“引人注目的”。故选A。
29. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country. (研究发现，当播放当地人熟悉的信号时，这些鸟更有可能出现。根据这项研究，当哈扎哨声响起时，这些鸟出现的几率为82%。但当研究人员吹响另一个国家传统上使用的哨子时，它们出现的几率只有 24%。)”可知，这些鸟能够区分不同的哨声。故选D。
30. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. (可以肯定的是，这种人类与动物之间的交流似乎对双方都有好处，而且这种交流可能可以追溯到几千年前。)”可知，这个采蜜的过程是一个双赢的合作。故选D。
31. 主旨大意题。文章讲述了一种将人类带到有蜂巢的树上的非洲野鸟似乎不知何故学会了住在它们附近的人类觅食者独特的口哨声和叫声，从而帮助人类和自己获得蜂蜜。由此可知，C项：A wonderful guide to collecting honey. (一个收集蜂蜜的好向导。)是最合适的标题。故选C。
D篇【解析】 这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们生活在一个爱妄下评判的世界里，当面对一些人的评头论足时，该怎么回应呢？也许一个简短的“OK”就可以成为一个完美的回答。
32. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“Some misguided souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve. (一些被误导的灵魂认为他们有责任帮助你成为一个更好的人，首先告诉你你到底是一个多么失败的人，然后提供你如何改进的建议。)”可知，作者称这些人为“被误导的灵魂认为这是自己的责任”，即，自以为是。由此可推知，在作者看来，这样的人以自我为中心。故选B项。
33. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Instead, simply reply with ‘OK’. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it. (相反，只需回答“OK”。这个简短的一个词的回应承认了对方的评论，但不同意它，也不觉得有必要就此展开辩论。)”可知，回答“OK”有两层含义，一是承认了对方的评论，二是说话人并不同意这一评论，但没有必要就此展开争论。故选D项。
34. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“It is important to remain emotionally connected with what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. (重要的是，要对对方所说的话有情感上的联系，不带感情地倾听，做一个客观的观察者。)”可知，重要的是要做一个客观的观察者，不带感情地倾听，即，保持理性和冷静。故选C项。
35. 推理判断题。通读文章内容可知，文章第二段内容“So what is the possible solution to criticism (那么，应对批评的可能解决方案是什么呢 )”以及文章末尾段内容“In any case, one can learn to be ‘OK’ with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party. (在任何情况下，一个人都可以学会接受批评，不要让它对你的生活或与对方的关系产生负面影响。)”提出了文章的核心主旨，即，文章主要讨论了应对批评的可能性解决方案：用“OK”来应对批评可以避免一些负面影响的产生。因此可推知，文章的目的是给出面对批评时的建议。故选D项。
七选五【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对生活和工作的一种方法——GTD方法的五个核心部分。
36. E 根据下文的“However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components”可知，这一方法可以很容易地分解为五个主要部分。由此可推断出，人们认为这个方法的内容很繁杂，正好对应E项（GTD 这个方法涉及的东西可能足以写满一本书。），且与下文形成转折关系，符合语境。故选E。
37. A 设空处为本段的主旨句。根据下文可知，本段主要介绍了即便事情看起来无关紧要，也都要写在计划表上或者文档里，不要遗漏任何事情。你会发现将来这会在某种程度上有所帮助。由此可知，A项（抓住所有在你脑海中冒出的想法。）可概括本段的大意。故选A。
38. G 根据下文的“那么考虑是否要丢弃或者稍后再处理它”可知，G项（你可能发现某项任务没有可行的步骤。）可承接下文。故选G。
39. F 本段主要介绍“要经常反思和定期检查你所整理的材料”。由此可知，F项（这就意味着你要在每个周一检查、更新或修订一些东西。）对这一部分进一步解释说明。选项中的every Monday呼应了上文的on a regular basis。故选F。
40. D 本段主要介绍“有意且积极地处理你的行动项目”。上文介绍了你已经有了任务和行动项目的列表，一个有日期和参考资料的组织系统以及一个可以自查的时间表，且根据语境可知，这是GTD方法的最后一个部分，由此可知，D 项（万事俱备，你可以逐步完成目标了。）可承接上文，且符合本段主旨。故选D。

W: I know. It’s incredible, isn’t it I love how all the instruments combine to create such wonderful sounds.
M: There was a famous European musician called Beethoven. He began losing his hearing in his mid-twenties, but he still continued to write music! In his forties, he was totally deaf.
W: That’s so sad, but so amazing too.
M: He found it hard to talk to people, so he used written notes (音符) to communicate. A quite remarkable man! He died aged 57, and people still listen to his music Today.
W: Come on. Let’s download his music now!

M: Before your first day, you should know some necessary rules.
W: Great, thanks. This will be my first time to hold this type of job—your training would be very helpful.
M: My pleasure. I know you’re busy with classes—there are six of my restaurant’s employees who are also in university. But when you’re working, I need you to give 100% effort.
W: I’m a very motivated worker, Ben. I promise I won’t let you down.
M: Thanks, Cindy. First, we don’t provide uniforms here. Please wear a white top and black pants. If you need help finding items, I can recommend some stores.

W: And you always worry too much.

Reading books can expand our knowledge of the world. UNESCO established April 23rd as World Book and Copyright Day in 1995. Do you know its history Setting aside a day to celebrate books traces its beginnings to the Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés. In 1922, he proposed the idea as a way to honor the author, Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later, the first celebration took place on October 7th, Miguel’s birthday, but the later celebration was moved to April 23rd, the date of his death, in 1930. In 1995, the UNESCO General Conference decided to show respect for authors and books worldwide as a way of encouraging everyone to access books. Choosing April 23rd seemed a logical choice. Besides being the date of Miguel’s death, it also happens to be the date when William Shakespeare died, and some other important authors’ birthdays. Annually since 2001, one city around the world has been chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year. The selected city will carry out activities to encourage “a culture of reading and sharing its values in all ages and population groups in and out of the national borders”. The idea was put forward by Spain in 2001, and Madrid was designated the first capital, followed by Alexandria and then New Delhi.
