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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Frozen II
Disney never makes proper big-screen follow-ups to its cartoons to suit kids’ taste, except Wreck-It Ralph. Frozen was the Box Office Champion of 2013 and, until The Lion King remake overtook it. Frozen the highest money-making cartoon film ever, it’s hardly surprising that the studio made it an exception.
Won’ t You Be My Neighbor
Fred Rogers (Tom Hanks), host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood for over 30 years, was an icon of an entertainment channel. The documentary about his uplifting life and work, Won’ t You Be My Neighbor, was a box office hit. Tom Hanks was awarded The Best Actor of The Year by the Golden Globe. BBC Culture’s Caryn James says “It is something rare—a warm-hearted film that everyone will enjoy”.
Charlie’ s Angels
Hollywood action movies written and directed by women and starring women are incredibly rare. Charlie’s Angels is one of the best. A restart of the 1970s TV series, let alone the two films from 2000 and 2003, the new version is produced by Elizabeth Banks, director of Pitch Perfect 2. She also plays Bosley, the middleman between the mysterious Charles Townsend and the female detectives he pays.
Minari
Most dialogue in Korean, Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari was classified by the Golden Globe in the Foreign Language Film. But Minari is also the tale of a US family working on a small farm in Arkansas in the 1980s. Glenn Whip in the Los Angeles Times says the film “feel like a comfort right now, a gentle truthful and tender story of family filled with kind people trying to love one another the best they can.”
Which film is most suitable for a child movie lover
A. Frozen II. B. Minari.
C. Charlie’s Angels. D. Won’t You Be My Neighbor
22. What’s the most special about the film Charlie’s Angels
A. It is produced by Hollywood.
B. Women contribute more to its production.
C. Elizabeth Banks also plays a role in the film.
D. It is the fourth version and the best of its series.
23. What do Won’t You Be My Neighbor and Minari have in common
A. The reporters thought highly of them respectively.

C. They both won big prizes awarded by the Golden Globe.
D. They belonged to the category of Foreign Language Film.
B
A “bucket list” is a personal list of goals and activities someone wants to accomplish before the end of his life. Fortunately, I’ve been able to check off many of mine, an achievement that many people I know never get the opportunity to do.
While most people don’t like to talk about mortality(死亡), the hard fact is that it will come eventually. After the loss of several loved ones, I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could.
Some of the things on my bucket list that I’ve achieved — hiking the Plank Road in the Sky on Mount Huashan in China; diving off the highest platform of 15 meters (50 feet) into the sea at Ariel’s Point in Boracay; doing the world’s highest commercial bungee jump at 233 meters off Macao Tower; octopus fishing in the Yellow Sea off South Korea; and much more.
The top item on my bucket list, however, is much more difficult to achieve. Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976, I have been searching for my birth parents for the past several years. I can’t help but worry that they may be gone. But having this item head my list urges me to keep trying and I’m planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search.
When I’ve talked about my bucket list to others, some of the feedback I’ve received is that it seems “a bit morbid”. Like, if you have a list, you’re thinking about your death. But I’m still in my rosy years.
As you get older, the list may change. And that’s OK. Whether it includes visiting certain countries, getting in better physical shape, buying a particular item or just spending more time with loved ones, there is no wrong way to do a bucket list. Your list can include short-term goals, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals. It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so.
24. Why did the author decide to make his bucket list
A. Because he missed his loved ones.
B. Because he was afraid of early death.
C. Because he thought life was too hard.
D. Because he didn’t want to live to regret.
25. Which of the following wishes has NOT been achieved according to the author
A. Diving at Ariel’s Point. B. Hiking on Mount Huashan.
C. Doing bungee off Macao Tower. D. Finding his biological parents.
26. What does the underlined word “morbid” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. peculiar. B. necessary. C. acceptable. D. amazing.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. People should stick to their dreams and hopes.
B. It doesn’t make any sense to change the bucket list.
C. A bucket list can help us get motivated and relaxed.
D. Personal experiences shouldn’t be included in a bucket list.
C
Weighing just 2 grams, hummingbirds don’t appear to be fierce and strong. Hummingbird migration(迁徙) season gets underway in August, when the small birds will fly thousands of miles away in search of warmer climates and blooming flowers to last out the cold winter months. Colder temperatures don’t necessarily bother them, but finding new food sources is a headache.
About 20 of the world’s 363 known hummingbird species call the U.S. home, most native to the western U.S., especially Arizona and southern Texas. “East of the Mississippi, we only have the Ruby-throated hummingbird,” said David Wiedenfeld, a senior conservation scientist with the American Bird Conservancy. When migration season begins, the Ruby-throated hummingbirds are still abundant throughout the eastern half of the U.S. By early October, they are starting to show up in Central America, and they settle in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica for the winter.
On their journey, some birds cross the Gulf of Mexico, cruising from the coast of Texas or Louisiana to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico without stopping for about 18 hours, “without landing, without eating, without drinking,” Wiedenfeld said. “For these tiny birds, it’s a tremendous crossing.” Since males play a minor role in raising their young, they often set out south sooner, usually by September 1st, followed by females a few weeks later after their babies leave the nest. Then, the young hummingbirds set out on the journey alone. “They’re doing it for the first time, all on their own,” said Witko. “They’re just setting off by nature. They’ve evolved the signals ... that tell them to go certain directions and certain places.”
The start of migration season means hummingbirds will be easier to spot, which means it will bring bird-watchers new opportunities to catch sight of them on their trip. Seeing hummingbirds really comes down to finding places where there are native plants, native flowers. Those are always some of the best spots. Besides, bird feeder with homemade nectar(花蜜)placed right outside your window will attract them, offering you a close-up view of their beating wings.
What’s the biggest challenge hummingbirds encounter when August comes
A. Cold temperatures. B. Lack of food supplies.
C. Their natural enemies. D. The long distance ahead.
29. Which words can best describe little Ruby-throated hummingbirds in paragraph 3
A. Rough and smart. B. Patient and creative.
C. Energetic and friendly. D. Independent and persistent.
30. What should bird-watchers do to observe the little bird close by
A. Equip themselves with a telescope. B. Follow their tracks all the way.
C. Wait around foreign flowers and observe. D. Place a bird feeder containing nectar outside.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Hummingbirds Flying South Feasts Bird-watchers’ Eyes
B. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds Are Native to America Only
C. Tiny Hummingbirds Start Big Journey for Warmer Winter
D. Hummingbirds Favor Warmer Climates and Blooming Flowers
D
Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The WHO predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly unclear.
On seeing this, while our first reaction is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine(多巴胺), helping regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Ideally, kids should get at least two hours of natural light a day.
Still, our increased use of screens is a problem. Most screens are high contrast—like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas(视网膜), causing more eye growth problems in children. A 2018 study in Scientific Records analyzed the retinal pathways when looking at black text on white backgrounds compared to natural environments, and concluded the contrast could stimulate myopia. Close work, like reading and looking closely at screens, has also been shown to cause myopia.
Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising myopia rates. A recent clinical trial found eye-drops with a low dose of atropine can slow myopia in kids. There’s also some early evidence that peripheral defocus lenses(周边离焦透镜) might help stop nearsightedness from worsening.
It’s strongly recommended that regular eye examinations should be a must, for people with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration. You can also reduce eye pressure by making a few simple lifestyle changes, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, and taking frequent breaks, etc.
What’s the real reason why so many people are nearsighted
Dramatically increased use of screens. B. Not enough exposure to natural light.
C. Not having enough breaks when working. D. Looking at screens at a short distance.
Why does the author mention the 2018 study in Scientific Records
To call on readers to remove their incorrect eye habits.
To prove to readers the seriousness of nearsightedness.
To support the link between high contrast and myopia.
To show he is well-informed of the advances in this field.
What can you do to improve the situation of your myopia
A. Work on your homework for hours on end.
B. Apply eye-drops with a high dose of atropine.
C. Wear specially-designed peripheral defocus lenses.
D. Have an eye operation recommended at an early age.
35. What’s the main structure of this passage
A. Questions—answers. B. Problem—reasons—solutions.
C. Problem—changes—effects. D. Viewpoint—arguments—conclusion.

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。
Working from home in a small apartment is fine during the day. But when nighttime comes, it may be difficult to turn off work and get a good night’s sleep. 36 These kinds of apartments, with the living room, kitchen and sleeping area all in one room, are common in large cities.
Here comes some advice gathered on how to work productively and sleep well in such an apartment.
A good bed is extremely important
At the beginning, a good bed is a must. Even better is a high-quality sleep sofa that can double as a bed and couch. Or, a Murphy bed. 37 He came up with this idea in 1900 while living in his own studio apartment in California.
Create a sleep area
To separate your sleep area from the rest of the apartment, you can purchase a freestanding screen or room divider. And try your best to keep your sleep area strictly for sleeping. 38 If you use your bed during the daytime, you can do small tasks to keep daytime work and sleep separate. Lisa Strauss, a psychologist and expert in sleep disorders, suggests using one side of the bed for reading and the other for sleeping.
Freshen the air. Lower the lights.
For starters, you must make sure the air flow is good. An air purifier will work, if you cook and
sleep in the same place. Also, be sure that computer, TV, and other electronic screens are turned off at night. 39
Keep things clean and organized
One thing to avoid when it comes to studio living is leaving beds unmade. Why 40 It will also add to a sense of crowdedness. At night, you would do well to put away electronics. Side tables with plugs and ports for electronics help you store devices and keep things organized and clean.
It is named after William Murphy.
However, that is not always possible.
Studio apartments often do not have a lot of storage.
Work and life can be even harder in studio apartments.
People will have an impression that you are lazy and untidy.
Their light can affect our internal clocks if they are at a short distance from bed.
Using calming smells like lavender(薰衣草) at bedtime will set the tone for restful sleep.

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes What should I do ”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.

1．续写词数应为150左右;

A possible version
Nowadays, more and more parents tend to rent an apartment close to where their children study to attend them. This trend has aroused great concern across the campus.
Some students find it acceptable to rent an apartment. They hold a firm belief that high school students have such a tight schedule that they can’t afford to waste a single minute every day. Therefore, parents take great pains to pave the way for their kids’ future. However, other students hold a totally different opinion. They don’t think it makes any sense to live outside school, which will deprive students of the chance to cultivate self-discipline and team spirit.
As far as I’m concerned, it is all right to do so. But try to get kids exposed to some housework at their convenience.
读后续写
The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand.
The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.

A篇 题材： 应用文 主题：人与社会
http://www./read/201911/598547.shtml
https://www./read/202112/650819.shtml
【语篇导读】本篇文章介绍四部不同的电影，各有特色，值得一看。
答案A。 【细节理解题】。 根据 “Disney never makes proper big-screen follow-ups to its cartoons to suit kids’ taste, except Wreck-It Ralph. ”可知答案选择A项。（除了《无敌破坏王》之外，迪士尼就没为了迎合孩子们的口味拍出过像样的电影续集。但是《冰雪奇缘》是2013年的票房冠军，在被翻拍版《狮子王》赶超之前，《冰雪奇缘》是有史以来票房最高的动画电影，所以迪士尼一反常态为其制作续集也就不足为奇了。)
答案B。 【推理判断题】。 根据影片Charlie’ s Angels《霹雳娇娃》中介绍 “Hollywood action movies written and directed by women and starring women are incredibly rare. Charlie’s Angels is one of the best.”可知，该片作为由女性编剧，女性导演和女性主演的好莱坞动作片，更是凤毛麟角。所以，答案选择B项。
答案A。【推理判断题】。 根据电影《与我为邻》和《米纳里》最后一句中引语，隶属于不同机构的两位记者分别对该部电影评价颇高。
B篇 题材：记叙文 主题：人与自我
https://www.chinadaily./a/202407/02/WS66834612a31095c51c50bc88_1.html
【语篇导读】本文首先陈述遗愿清单定义，然后讲述作者为自己列遗愿清单的详情，最后分享列遗愿清单的注意事项。
答案D。 【细节理解题】。 根据文章第二段 “After the loss of several loved ones, I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could.”可知答案选择D。作者在失去几位挚爱亲人后写下遗愿清单，为的是当回顾自己的一生时，知道自己抓住了每一个可以获得幸福的机会，人生没有遗憾。live to regret活在悔恨中。
答案D。【细节理解题】。 根据文章第四段描述可知，作者遗愿清单中位列榜首且最难实现的是找到生身父母，这激励着作者继续寻找，而且作者决定于10月前往首尔继续。
答案A。【词义猜测题】。根据文章第五段叙述可知，尚处于花样年华的作者此时和他人谈及遗愿清单，别人正常反应应该会觉得作者“古怪不正常”，所以答案选择A项。
答案C。【推理判断题】。 根据文章最后一段，使用排除法，完全可以排除ABD三个选项。且根据最后一句 “give a boost to your motivation”可知get motivated, “force you to take breaks”可知get relaxed。综合来看，故答案选择C项。
C篇 题材：说明文 主题：人与自然
【语篇导读】本文选自2024 August 14 Wednesday 《今日美国》国内新闻板块。蜂鸟会在每年的八月份开始迁徙，路程遥远。在迁徙过程中，the Ruby-throated hummingbirds幼鸟表现出独立和坚韧的可贵品质；大迁徙同时也为观鸟者提供了难得的观鸟机会。
28. 答案B。【推理判断题】。 根据文章第一段最后一句 “Colder temperatures don’t necessarily bother them, but finding new food sources is a headache.”可知，答案选择B项。
29. 答案D。【推理判断题】。 根据文章第三段所描述，蜂鸟幼鸟在迁徙过程中，长达18小时不眠不休不吃不喝，我们可以推断出蜂鸟具有坚忍不拔(persistent)的一面; 同时，迁徙过程中，雄蜂鸟先行离开，雌蜂鸟紧随其后；而幼鸟只能全程靠自己，正是独立（independent）的最好体现。
30. 答案D。【细节理解题】。 根据文章最后一段所描述，观察蜂鸟有两种选择：一，土著植物（花）所在地；二，把装有蜂蜜的鸟类投食器放置在窗外，综合考虑，所以答案选择D项。
31. 答案C。【主旨大意题】。 纵观全文，文章讲述蜂鸟大迁徙，包括原因﹑时间﹑路线﹑沿途困难﹑方式以及顺便为观鸟者带来的观鸟机会等等；A﹑B﹑D三项都很好地概括了文章某一段大意，但作为标题显得以偏概全，所以答案选择C项。
D篇 题材：说明文 主题：人与社会
【语篇导读】本文选自READER’S DIGEST USA MAY 2024 P37—40 Eye Health Epidemic What’s behind the sharp increase in nearsightedness 作者在篇首就陈述问题——近视眼问题日益严峻，接着从科学的角度分析造成近视的原因，最后为大家指出缓解近视的可行办法。
答案B。 【细节理解题】。 根据文章第二段 “experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine, helping regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick.”可知，根本原因不是增加了的屏幕使用时间，而是户外时间不足，所以答案选择B项。
答案C。 【推理判断题】。根据文章第三段 “A 2018 study in Scientific Records analyzed the retinal pathways when looking at black text on white backgrounds compared to natural environments, and concluded the contrast could stimulate myopia.”(2018年发表在《科学记录》上的一项研究分析了在白色背景上看黑色文字与在自然环境中看东西时的视网膜通路，并得出结论：这种对比度可以刺激近视。)该结论印证了本段第二句部分科学家的猜想。所以答案选择C项。
答案C。【推理判断题】。 根据文章第四第五段，我们不难发现A项和B项和文章相冲突，D项文章未提及，C项为第四段最后一句的简化版，所以答案选择C项。
答案B。【主旨大意题】。 根据文章结构，我们可以得知，第一段提出问题——近视问题日益严峻；第二三段分析原因——从科学角度分析造成近视的原因；第四五段解决问题——如何缓解近视问题的可行办法。所以答案选择B项。

【语篇导读】大城市单间公寓甚是普遍。其虽空间小，但功能俱全。本文作者就如何在这狭小的空间里做到既工作有成效又睡眠有保障，把从网上搜集的建议和大家分享。
答案D。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 根据第一段第二句，“可能就比较难从工作中抽离，好好睡一觉了。”在单间公寓里，这样生活工作就更难了。紧接着，就单间公寓做出诠释和说明。所以答案选择D项。
答案A。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 前面一句提到墨菲床，37空又出现he, 所以该空应该是一个人物。墨菲床是用威廉·墨菲的名字命名的。所以答案选择A项。
答案B。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 本段文字前面讲到严格划分睡眠区。而38空后所讲的是床并不是完全用于睡觉，同样可以用来读书或者你可以做一些小事来将白天的任务和睡眠分开。所以说，严格区分这并不总是可行的。此处使用半否定。
答案F。【考查段尾句】。 本段主题两个，一是保证空气清新二是减少光源。本段第一第二句紧扣第一个主题；第三句以及本空就应该围绕第二个主题。本空分析原因——为什么要关掉这些设备。
答案E。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 本段先给出建议——被子不能不叠。然后分析原因，此空可能的选项会是C项和E项。但试想，单间公寓存储空间小，那我们应该怎么做？我们完全可以不买无用的东西或者是购买多功用的东西就可以了。而不是通过叠被子这件事情来实现增加存储空间。不叠被子，只会让人觉得你懒和不爱整洁，但同时也会增加房间的局促感。

W: Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Sea Life Centre. This is an extremely exciting place with so many things to see. It costs 4 with grown-ups and 2 for children. It opens at 8:30 a.m. every day of the year except the 25th and 26th of December when the centre is closed. Special attractions to the children include the hourly feeding times for all the different fish. Starting at 9:30 a.m., you can see everything here from the biggest fish to the smallest. Every morning from 10:00, there are short films for children in the Sea Life Theatre.
Someone is always there to answer questions about what she’s seen. The latest attraction of the center is a big glass passage you can walk through all around you. You’ll see fish swimming sometimes even over your head. You certainly have a fierce possible view of the underwater world children like. It’s really amazing for grown-ups, too. I’m sure you have a good time here.
