Overcoming extreme cold, cruel ice and people dismissing him as mad, Slovenian Davo Kamicar became the first person to ski non-stop down Mount Everest.
After a dramatic fall over almost sheer cliffs of snow, stones and ice, 38-year-old Kamicar emerged in his base camp after five hours of skiing. “I feel only absolute happiness and absolute tiredness,” he said.
At one stage he had to speed over stretches of ice that collapsed and broke underneath him and could have sent him falling into the deep crevasses (裂缝) that dot the mountain.
The descent (下落) had been seen by many as insanely dangerous. The Darwin Awards website, which documents deaths which are foolhardy, urged people to log on to Internet broadcasts of the attempt. “Keep your eyes peeled for a live Darwin Award,” it said.
However, the only body to make the news was the corpse (尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes.
“This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was a really shocking experience,” he said.
Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the record highs ever. During the run more than 650,000 hits were registered on his expedition website jamming it for a time as others tried to access the site.
Weather conditions were so severe that Kamicar had to abandon plans to rest on the summit before attempting to descend. Instead, suffering from fatigue, as soon as he reached the top he put on his skis and flung himself back down the mountain.
Dealing with the mountain had already cost Kamicar two fingers when a previous failed attempt saw him get frostbite as a fierce storm lashed the peak.
Kamicar comes from a skiing family and took part in his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989. Since then, he has been tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal.
24．Davo Kamicar made history by ________.
A．skiing down Mount Everest without rest
B．descending Mount Everest within the shortest time ever
C．attracting largest number of audience online for his descent
D．becoming the first to film his descent down Mount Everest
25．The underlined word foolhardy in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A．sudden and hard to accept B．taking unnecessary risks
C．attracting public attention D．working hard to fool others
26．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Kamicar saw about 120 dead bodies littering the slope.
B．The broadcast of his descent online was cancelled because of the website jam.
C．Kamicar’s family had a tradition to conquer Mount Everest.
D．This was not Kamicar’s first attempt on Mount Everest.
27．Which of the following may be the best title for the passage
A．Mad man skis down Everest B．Darwin Award for Davo Kamicar
C．Extreme sports hero slides to a record D．Body of mountaineer found on Everest
C
French schools once prized the nutritional value of wine. So commonly was it served to children that in
1956 the government banned wine in school canteens—and even then, only for the under-14s. France was the world’s biggest wine producer last year. A bottle of wine has long been to the French meal what fast driving is to the German motorway: an ordinary habit, national right and personal pleasure.
No longer. In 2022 roughly 10% of French people drank wine every day, down from half in 1980. Back in 1960 the French drank an average of 116 liters of everyday wine per person. Between 2000 and 2018 that shrank from 28 liters to just 17. A glass of wine is an increasingly rare sight at the lunch table.
What is going on It is not simply price. A bottle of Bordeaux can still be found in a French supermarket for under ?3. Some village co-operatives sell local produce straight from the vat for ?l.90 a liter—less than fresh orange juice. A better explanation is that a beer-drinking trend is challenging Mediterranean habits. The French now tell polls that they prefer beer to wine. Beer accounts for more than half of all alcohol bought in French supermarkets. Even in southern France, some cafes serve imported Belgian or German beer on tap.
Most important, a health-conscious younger generation is drinking less. A quarter of French 18- to 34-year-olds say they never drink alcohol. Fully 39% of under-35s say that they do not drink wine, next to only 27% of the over-50s. Le dry January has entered the national vocabulary. No- and low-alcohol drinks are spreading. A younger generation is rejecting old Mediterranean habits. In an attempt to “speak to Generation Z by adopting its codes”, Pernod Ricard, a drinks giant, runs a marketing campaign with the slogan “Drink more…water”.
Of course, consumption of high-quality wine remains strong. But the decline of cheaper stuff has wider consequences for France. Last summer the government allowed ?200m to buy surplus low-end wine that producers could not sell. In some areas, farmers are tearing off lesser vines (葡萄藤) altogether. Less alcohol may improve health, but not necessarily the mood or landscapes of rural France.
28．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Serving wine to French children has been banned.
B．Drinking wine is as dangerous a habit as fast driving.
C．Wine consumption has long been a practice in France.
D．Nutritional value of wine is widely recognized in France.
29．What’s the major reason for the French people drinking less wine
A．Health concern. B．Challenge from beer.
C．Economic decline. D．Shortage of wine supply.
30．What does the underlined part “Le dry January” in paragraph 4 probably refer to
A．A season of poor grape harvest.
B．A period when the weather is dry.
C．An organization advocating drinking water.
D．A campaign calling for less wine consumption.
31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Consumption of low-quality wine remains unchanged.
B．Production of high-end wine is lower than that of low-end wine.
C．Farmers who produce more wine are awarded by the government.
D．Not all French people benefit from the decline of wine consumption.
D
Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert.
For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says.
The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.
The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.
Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.
32．What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Get the essence of. B．Find the opposite of.
C．Keep the focus on. D．Reduce the impact on.
33．What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3
A．Its standard is stable. B．It prevents unequal division.
C．Its concept is complex. D．It dominates personal preferences.
34．What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting
A．The application of its rules. B．The details of its process.
C．The problems it produces. D．The harmony it symbolizes.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Who Benefits Most from Fairness
B．How Has Fairness Changed over Time
C．What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting
D．Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting

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。
Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. Apart from those, reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. 36
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. 37 In addition, your brain thinks you are in the story, which means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they were real.
38 This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance. One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools. After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. 39
40 Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
A．In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
B．This permits people to limit their emotions that others are feeling.
C．Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story.
D．It also stimulated them to raise 1,000 for the homeless caused by war.
E．Reading encourages us to empathize with others, which could be beneficial.
F．Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond.
G．It helps you see into other people’s hearts and can be learned through various stories.

67．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。
I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When
I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.

In the video, Barty discussed her thoughts about retiring with her good friend Casey Dellacqua. Dellacqua, who is also a retired tennis player, used to be Barty’s doubles partner. Barty made it clear that playing
professional tennis at an extremely high level is very demanding and stressful. She said she knew how much work it took to bring the best out of herself. She added she didn’t have that in her anymore.
Even though she was only 25, Barty has been playing tennis for a long time. She started when she was four and turned professional ten years later. For over two years, Barty has been ranked the world’s No. 1 women's tennis player. She has won 15 important women’s singles tournaments in her career. In 2019, Barty won the French Open.
In 2021, she won Wimbledon. And in January 2022, she won the Australian Open. Barty said she knew some people wouldn’t understand her decision, but she’s okay with that.

【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章是Marist School 2024-2025学年招生信息，介绍了Marist School的招生流程、重要日期、申请要求等。
21．推理判断题。第一段中“We are delighted that you are contemplating Marist School as the next significant phase in your child’s educational journey.(我们很高兴您正在考虑将圣母学校作为您孩子教育旅程的下一个重要阶段)” 表明这是一份招生简章，“Marist offers two principal junctures for student enrollment, specifically for those entering the 7th and 9th grades, with our usual intake being 150 and 50 students, respectively.(Marist提供两个主要的学生入学时间，特别是那些进入七年级和九年级的学生，我们通常分别招收150名和50名学生)”提到了Marist School的招生信息，包括招生年级、招生人数、申请流程等，因此推断这是一份招生简章。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据文中“January 18, 2024(2024年1月18日)”这一截止日期可知，2024年1月下旬无法申请。第二段中“The application for the academic year spanning 2024 to 2025 will be accessible by late September, with a final submission deadline set for January 18, 2024.(2024至2025学年的申请将于9月下旬开放，最终提交截止日期为2024年1月18日)”说明了申请的最后期限。故选D。
23．细节理解题。第二段中“For the management of the entire admissions procedure, Marist School employs Ravenna, an application stewardship software. Utilizing Ravenna, parents are able to access the Marist application form, dispatch accompanying documents, monitor the progression of the application, and peruse the admissions verdicts.(为了管理整个招生程序，Marist学校采用了应用程序管理软件Ravenna。利用Utilizing Ravenna，家长可以访问Marist申请表格，发送随附文件，监控申请的进展，并仔细阅读录取裁决)”提到使用Ravenna软件进行在线申请，表明申请是通过在线方式提交的。故选C。

【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。报道了斯洛文尼亚人达沃卡米卡成为第一个不间断地滑下珠穆朗玛峰的人，并创造了历史新纪录。
24．细节理解题。由第一段“Slovenian Davo Kamicar became the first person to ski non-stop down Mount Everest.”可知，斯洛文尼亚人达沃卡米卡成为第一个不间断地滑下珠穆朗玛峰的人。故A选项正确。
25．词义猜测题。由第四段“The descent had been seen by many as insanely dangerous.”可知，许多人认为这种下降是极其危险的，所以猜测出foolhardy的意思是“冒不必要的风险”。故B选项正确。
26．细节理解题。由倒数第二段“when a previous failed attempt saw him get frostbite as a fierce storm lashed the peak.”（当之前的一次尝试失败时，一场猛烈的风暴袭击了山顶，他冻伤了。）可知，这不是Kamicar第一次尝试征服登珠穆朗玛峰。故D选项正确。
27．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，斯洛文尼亚人达沃卡米卡成为第一个不间断地滑下珠穆朗玛峰的人，许多人认为这种极限运动是极其危险的，但达沃卡米卡成功做到了，并创造了历史新记录。故C选项正确。
【点睛】标题位于文章之首，用来高度概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子。要确定文章标题，首先，要在阅读原文的基础上，考虑标题是否与主题密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；然后，要注意标题范围不应太大或太小；最后，标题应简练并能吸引读者。即：1、独特新颖；2、概括性强；3、短小精炼。由第一段“ Slovenian Davo Kamicar became the first person to ski non-stop down Mount Everest.”由第四段“The descent had been seen by many as insanely dangerous.” 由第七段“hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the record highs ever. ”可知，斯洛文尼亚人达沃卡米卡成为第一个不间断地滑下珠穆朗玛峰的人，许多人认为这种极限运动是极其危险的，但达沃卡米卡成功做到了，并创造了历史新纪录。综合以上信息以及对比选项，只有C选项与主题密切相关，能概括全文内容，简练并能吸引读者。所以小题4的正确选项为C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了法国葡萄酒消费下降，年轻人更健康意识，啤酒流行挑战传统，低端酒过剩致农民受影响，国家面貌变化。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“French schools once prized the nutritional value of wine. So commonly was it served to children that in 1956 the government banned wine in school canteens—and even then, only for the under-14s. France was the world’s biggest wine producer last year. A bottle of wine has long been to the French meal what fast driving is to the German motorway: an ordinary habit, national right and personal pleasure. (法国学校一度重视葡萄酒的营养价值。1956年，英国政府禁止学校食堂供应葡萄酒，即便如此，也仅限14岁以下儿童饮用。去年，法国是世界上最大的葡萄酒生产国。长久以来，一瓶葡萄酒之于法国大餐，就像快速驾驶之于德国高速公路：一种普通的习惯、国家的权利和个人的乐趣。)”可知，葡萄酒消费在法国历史悠久。故选C项。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Most important, a health-conscious younger generation is drinking less. (最重要的是，注重健康的年轻一代正在减少饮酒。)”可知，为了健康，法国人少喝酒。故选A项。
30．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“No- and low-alcohol drinks are spreading. A younger generation is rejecting old Mediterranean habits. In an attempt to “speak to Generation Z by adopting its codes”, Pernod Ricard, a drinks giant, runs a marketing campaign with the slogan “Drink more…water”. (无酒精和低酒精饮料正在普及。年轻一代正在摒弃地中海的旧习惯。为了“通过采纳Z世代的准则来与他们对话”，饮料巨头保乐力加发起了一场以“多喝水”为口号的营销活动。)”可知，由此推断，Le dry January是指一种减少酒精摄入的运动，特别是减少葡萄酒消费。A. A season of poor grape harvest葡萄歉收的季节；B. A period when the weather is dry天气干燥的时期；C. An organization advocating drinking water提倡饮用水的组织；D. A campaign calling for less wine consumption呼吁减少葡萄酒消费的运动。故选D项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, consumption of high-quality wine remains strong. But the decline of cheaper stuff has wider consequences for France. Last summer the government allowed ?200m to buy surplus low-end wine that producers could not sell. In some areas, farmers are tearing off lesser vines (葡萄藤) altogether. Less alcohol may improve health, but not necessarily the mood or landscapes of rural France. (当然，高品质葡萄酒的消费依然强劲。但是廉价商品的减少对法国有更广泛的影响。去年夏天，政府允许2亿欧元购买生产
商卖不出去的过剩低端葡萄酒。在一些地区，农民们甚至将较小的葡萄藤全部拔掉。少喝酒可以改善健康，但不一定能改善法国乡村的心情或风景。)” 可知，低档葡萄酒消费下降导致生产者面临销售困难，甚至需要政府干预购买剩余葡萄酒，以及部分农民不得不拔除葡萄藤，这说明并非所有法国人都从葡萄酒消费下降中获益。故选D项。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍各个领域的研究人员对切蛋糕这一问题的本质和方法的研究以及切蛋糕的规则在解决现实问题中的应用。
32．词句猜测题。根据第二段“A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. (切蛋糕是一个数学问题的核心，它将严格的推理与现实世界的公平问题联系在一起，因此不仅吸引了数学家，也吸引了社会科学家、经济学家等。Procaccia说：“这是一个非常优雅的模型，在这个模型中，你可以distill出什么是公平，并对此进行推理。”)”可知，这里说明人们可以通过切蛋糕问题来提炼理解什么是公平，所以distill的意思应该是“提炼”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段“But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. (但当考虑到个人偏好时，即使是最简单的规则也会变得复杂。假设爱丽丝和鲍勃要分一块蛋糕，爱丽丝知道鲍勃更喜欢巧克力，她可能会故意把蛋糕分得不相等，这样小的一块含有更多的巧克力。然后鲍勃会根据自己的喜好进行选择，爱丽丝会得到更大的一块。他们都对所得到的感到满意，但公平的意义在这种情况下发生了变化。)”可知，公平这一概念是很复杂的。故选C。
34．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms(算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. (蛋糕是任何可分割商品的象征。当切蛋糕的原则被用来解决分歧时，它们有可能帮助世界找到解决方案。Procaccia使用公平分配算法对食物分配进行建模。社会科学家Haris Aziz正在探索各种情况，从如何分配日常任务到如何最好地安排医生在医院的轮班。)”可知，这一段主要介绍切蛋糕规则的应用。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. (Ariel Procaccia在过去的15年里思考了很多关于如何切蛋糕的问题。作为三个孩子的父亲，他知道要让每个人都满意地分一个生日蛋糕有多难。但这也是因为Procaccia的工作专注于探索公平划分事物的数学规则。一种方法是抽象地思考甜点。)”和最后一段“Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle(拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. (即使经过几十年的调
查，切蛋糕也不像一个简单的拼图游戏，有明确的解决方案。相反，随着时间的推移，它已经演变成一种数学沙盒，一个将抽象证明和简单应用程序结合在一起的建设性游乐场。研究人员对它的探索越多，就越有探索的余地。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍研究者为什么对切蛋糕问题感兴趣。故选D。

(你是否读过一个故事，因为一个人物的痛苦而热泪盈眶？如果是这样，那是因为你对角色有共情。)”提到“共情”，结合诸选项信息可知，G选项“它可以帮助你看到别人的心，可以通过不同的故事来学习。”契合语境，该句就是对上文“empathy”进行说明和解释，“it”指代“empathy”，“stories”呼应上文“story”。故选G。
37．根据本段首句“Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. (研究表明，人类大脑对故事和事实的反应是不同的。)”可知，本段主要谈论人的大脑会根据不同的故事和事实产生不同的反应；C选项“当你在欣赏一个故事时，你的大脑会有更多的区域被激活。”也是谈论当人阅读时大脑的反应，契合语境。故选C。
38．下文“This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. (这种技能被称为情商，可以让你更容易与人沟通和联系。)”讲述情感智力这项技能能够使沟通和与人建立联系更容易，F选项“同理心可以帮助你读懂别人的情绪并想出最佳方式来回应。”契合语境，下文This skill指代F项中的Empathy。故选F。
39．上文“After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. (在读完《教室后面的男孩》后，圣迈克尔高中的学生们受到启发，为非营利组织‘难民行动’进行了10英里的步行活动。这本书讲述了一个逃离战争的男孩的故事。)”进一步举例说在读了《教室后面的男孩》这本书后，圣迈克尔高中的学生的反应，选项D“这也促使他们为因战争而无家可归的人筹集了1000英镑。”也是在谈论反应：促使他们为因战乱而无家可归之人募集一千英镑，因而契合语境。故选D。
40．由本空所在位置可知，此处为段首句，总括全段信息，下文“Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter. (当我们对他人感同身受时，我们不仅更有可能做出有益的行为，而且当他人感同身受时，他们也更有可能帮助我们。为了社会的发展，善于沟通和善解人意的个人真的很重要。)”谈论当我们对他人感同身受时，我们不仅更有可能做出有益的行为，而且当他人感同身受时，他们也更有可能帮助我们，是在讲述共情对人有益。由此可知，选项E“阅读鼓励我们去同情他人，这是有益的。”契合语境。故选E。

【导语】本文是说明文，主要讲的是埃塞俄比亚的塞米恩国家公园曾面临威胁，在政府和民众的共同努力下，该公园得到了很好的保护，最终被移出《濒危世界遗产名录》。
56．考查不定式。句意：联合国教科文组织认识到它们的非凡价值，并为保护它们的生态财富，将其中一些遗址列为世界遗产。根据语境可知，句子表示“联合国教科文组织认识到它们的非凡价值，并为保护它们的生态财富，将其中一些遗址列为世界遗产”，空格处用不定式表目的，故填to preserve。
57．考查介词。句意：联合国教科文组织认识到它们的非凡价值，并为保护它们的生态财富，将其中一些遗址列为世界遗产。联合国教科文组织将其中一些遗址列为世界遗产，“将……列为”是classify...as...，因此空格处是介词as，故填as。
58．考查冠词。句意：1996年，当它被列入世界濒危遗产名录时，多年来公园周围越来越多的人类定居点，加上不可持续的农业实践和过度放牧，使所有重要的野生动物栖息地的条件恶化。根据语境可知，此处表示“越来越多的人类定居点”，an increasing number of意为“越来越多的”，因此空格处是不定冠词an，故填an。
59．考查非谓语动词。句意：1996年，当它被列入世界濒危遗产名录时，多年来公园周围越来越多的人类定居点，加上不可持续的农业实践和过度放牧，使所有重要的野生动物栖息地的条件恶化。句中谓语是had worsened，空格处用非谓语动词，“increasing number of human settlements around the park over the years”和couple之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填coupled。

61．考查名词。句意：然而，在2017年，该公园从名单上删除，创造了历史，这是埃塞俄比亚政府取得的一项重大而非凡的成就。its后跟名词，remove的名词是removal，意为“移走，去掉”，是不可数名词，故填removal。
62．考查时态和被动语态。句意：到那时为止，已经为实现这一目标作出了各种努力。be devoted to doing是固定短语，意为“致力于做某事”，由By then可知，句子表示在过去某个时间之前已经完成的动作，时态用过去完成时，因此空格处是had been devoted。故填had been devoted。
63．考查形容词。句意：有效的社区驱动的保护策略有助于防止进一步的生态损失。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰“community-driven conservation strategies”，句子表示“有效的社区驱动的保护策略有助于防止进一步的生态损失”，空格处意为“有效的”，形容词是effective，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Effective。
64．考查定语从句。句意：当局已经制定了一项放牧策略，其目的是大大减少公园的放牧压力。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，strategy和aim之间是所属关系，因此空格处用表所属的关系代词whose引导定语从句，故填whose。

Para 1
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure.
Para 2
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station
where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like Gunter.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次因风暴延误的旅途中，匆忙搭乘出租车前往车站赶最后一班去布拉格的公共汽车。司机冈特不熟悉车站位置，通过电话求助后顺利抵达。到达时作者却发现自己没带现金，尝试用葡萄牙银行卡支付没有成功，而车站的取款机也故障了。
