第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50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
Spring breakers don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy life in the sunshine for a week. U. S. News carefully considered everything to bring you the best inexpensive spring break destinations.
Key West
This small island in the Florida Keys is known for its odd residents and best snorkeling (浮潜) opportunities. While you’ll find plenty of spots for partying along Duval Street, you can also soak up some culture at the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum. Plus, Key West offers several budget- friendly vacation rentals, so you can save your cash for bars and boat tours.
Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is a tried-and-true Florida spring break location that is sure to please the masses. Scope out a spot across the town’s 27 miles of white sand beaches to sunbathe, play volleyball or scan the horizon for bottlenose dolphins. Hotel prices are reasonable if you book your accommodations in advance. Just note: in this town alcohol consumption is not allowed on the beach during March, so you’ll have to enjoy your adult drinks elsewhere.
South Padre Island
With hotels offering nightly rates around $200 or less and DJs and celebrities holding court at nightclubs, South Padre Island, Texas, is a hot spring break destination for college students. This South Texas local is only about 30 miles north of the U. S.-Mexico border, meaning you’ll get to enjoy warm weather without having to leave the country. As an added bonus, the island offers a free public shuttle system, so budget-conscious travelers won’t have to worry about spending money on a rental car.
21. What can tourists do in Key West
A. Have a good surfing.
B. Bathe in the sun on the beach.
C. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum.
D. Throw a party anywhere on the island.
22. What is special about Panama City Beach
A. The hotel prices are low whenever you go.
B. It is a perfect destination for everyone.
C. You can drink wine on the beach in March.
D. You can see the bottlenose dolphins in person.
23. What do the three travel destinations have in common
A. They are alive with wildlife. B. They are budget-friendly.
C. They offer a taste of culture. D. They offer free public shuttle system.
B
A few months ago, a friend gifted me a robot sweeper that’s programmed to move around a room and clean as it goes.
When the box arrived, I was afraid the device would detect me and soak up (汲) data along with the dog hair and dust. But the instructions were easy, and I finally decided not to care.
I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work, and quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors. I kept shooting its working videos. “I think you’re giving more attention to it than to us,” joked my son.
One day, I returned home and discovered that our front door had blown open and the robot rolled into the yard, trying to clean the flower beds. Even when its brushes were blocked with leaves, bugs and mud, its little wheels bravely kept turning.
The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this context is difficult.
This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence). As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting.
Maybe this will happen in the near future.
24. What was the author’s concern about the robot sweeper at first
A. Its after-sales service.
C. The privacy of her family.
B. Its working efficiency.
D. The readability of its instruction.
25. How did the author feel about the robot sweeper after using it
A. Enthusiastic.
C. Uncertain.
B. Regretful.
D. Cautious.
26. What was the root cause of the accident happening to the robot sweeper
A. Its program went wrong.
B. It lacked critical thinking.
C. Its wheels were badly designed.
D. It failed to work on rough surfaces.
27. What does the sixth paragraph mainly talk about concerning AI
A. The accident. B. The public’s thinking.
C. Its appeal to the author. D. The author’s opinion.
C
On a recent afternoon, dozens of elderly farmers were playing chess in a courtyard, a common scene at the Madongchuan Township Zhaotai Village Mutual Support Nursing Home in Yan’an, a hilly part of Northwest China’s Shaanxi province.
There are no caregivers in sight. Instead, the residents look after one another at the self-service nursing facility, which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township. The younger ones grow vegetables in a small path of land nearby. They cook outdoors using a shared kitchen, and the food is delivered to those with mobility issues. After meals, many play chess or chat at their leisure. Local authorities also hired a retired village doctor to oversee the facility so that the residents no longer have to go to the hospital for less severe health problems such as cold and fever.
“They were enjoying themselves in the moment, and leading rather independent lives,” Zhao Liwen, secretary-general of Taikang Yicai Foundation, said of her first impression about the residents during a visit in 2019. The Beijing-based charity offered help by donating 1 million yuan to the nursing home. When she arrived, the seniors, all empty-nesters who are either childless or have children working in big cities, were wrapping dumplings together.
The scene was a sharp contrast from life in the area more than a decade ago. Village elders used to live lonely lives, scattered (分散) among the remote area and unable to access hospitals and other public services. Then in 2013, a flood washed their homes away, forcing them to move into the nursing facility.
The nursing home in Yan’ an is one of the best examples of China’s increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of “relationship-based communities” in rural (乡村的) areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared pared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. The self-sufficient, interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside.
28. What do the elderly residents do in the nursing facility
A. They use their separate kitchens.
B. They enjoy their leisure activities.
C. They share advanced medical services.
D. They employ caregivers to look after them.
29. What approach does the nursing home in Yan’an take to deal with the rural aging
A. Developing mutual cooperation.
B. Following strict regulations.
C. Conducting commercial strategies.
D. Promoting individual independence.
30. What is the author’s attitude to the self-service nursing home
A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Rural Revival: China’s Approach to Aging Population
B. Promoting traditional values: A Tale of Aging in Rural China
C. Bridging Generation Gaps: The Story of Yan’ an’s Nursing Home
D. Relationship-Based Community: A Nursing Home in Rural China
D
Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport for it is illegal, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
32. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin. B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water. D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
33. What does the author aim to tell us in Paragraph 4
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Causes to make Siamcse crocodiles endangered.
34. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Found. B. Sold. C. Seized. D. Stolen.
35. What do Tapley’s words focus on
A. The harm IWT caused. B. The purpose to show the handbag.
C. The importance of wildlife protection. D. The crisis endangered animals are facing.
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。
In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence. The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 36
It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our inten- tions for “home” are evolving.
37 Fast-paced lifestyles and work schedules make it hard to find time to shop for groceries and prepare meals. Online food delivery services have taken off, too. In 2016, one in 10 Chinese were ordering food online. Throughout Europe, online ordering is capturing 56 percent of the market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria. In India, online food ordering is expected to reach close to $12m (US) by 2023.
While there is a trend towards bring-in and order-in food, as well as dining out, the kitchen is still a core in home life. Food & Wine cited a survey in 22 countries asking about cooking habits. 38 At the lower end were South Koreans, who spent just 3.7 hours per week cooking. People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen.
Simply being in the kitchen, cooking and eating with other people, can have healthy benefits. Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. 39 The difference is, now you can follow a recipe on your iPad while cooking.
It’s true that impersonal appliances are connecting to each other and to us. Refrigerators order vegetables. Cooktop hoods with sensors turn on by themselves. While technology and our expectations for the kitchen are shape-shifting in real time, the fundamentals remain the same. 40
A. So is cooking a way to express yourself
B. The global average was almost 6.5 hours.
C. But is our relationship to the kitchen changing
D. It’s like gathering around a campfire in the past.
E. People seem to be spending less time cooking worldwide.
F. Now more of them are eating outside the home more frequently.
G. The kitchen is where we connect with food and company in the soul of the home.

One spring, I helped my parents do some work in the yard at the beginning of the year. Dad was getting a flower bed ready for Mom to plant flowers in, I was picking up litter next to the fence and Mom was removing old leaves that had been in the yard since last autumn. I found a bird’s nest in the big tree behind our house. After a while, two birds flew back to the nest and I heard their calls from the nest. Dad said they were Robins (知更鸟).
I was about to climb the tree to get a good look inside the nest when Dad saw and stopped me. Dad said Robins did not want to be bothered. I nodded.
We went for quite a while and then decided to sit at the picnic table with a glass of cool water. As we sat there, I watched the Robin nest in the tree, wondering what was in it. Were there eggs Were there baby birds A moment later, we continued to work.
When we finished up our work outside, we went in to fix some food and ate supper, then got cleaned up, watched some TV and went to bed.
Morning came quickly with the sun shining in through the windows. While we ate breakfast, we talked about what we needed to do for the day. Since it was the weekend, we wanted to do some more work in the yard to finish the jobs we had started the day before.
We met outside in the front yard this time to do some touch-up work to the front of the house. Dad got out a big tank of white paint to take care of some chips (缺口) along the lower edge of the house next to the basement windows. It was another nice sunny day. As Dad did the painting work, Mom and I picked rocks out of the grass.

Dear Mr. Huang,
I am Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Senior 2. I am writing to suggest establishing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) club at our school. As AI is becoming increasingly important in many areas, I believe that many students will benefit from learning more about it.
The purpose of the AI club would be to help students understand the basics of AI, including its applications and future impact. This will give students an edge in the growing field of technology.The club could organize activities such as programming workshops, robot-building competitions, and AI expert lectures to engage students and spark their interest.
I hope you will consider my suggestion. Thank you for your time and support.
Yours sincerely,
LiHua

And I saw a thing in the grass under the big tree ---- a bird nest. I looked up at the big tree and was sure it was the Robin nest I saw the day before. I shouted. Dad and Mom stopped their work. Mom gently removed the dry grass on the nest. In the delicate nest were three eggs. They looked so lovely. Luckily, they were still fine. “The nest must have been blown down by the wind,” Dad said. Then he smiled , continuing ," Now it is time for you to climb the tree ." I knew what he meant and happily agreed .(87 words )
With Dad ' s help , I climbed up the tree carefully with the nest. As I climbed higher, I was worried to break the eggs. Dad guided me to look up and keep climbing from the ground. Feeling encouraged, I kept calm and finally reached where the nest should be. Dad instructed me to place it on the joint of the branches. After making sure that it wouldn’t fall down again, I climbed down. Dad patted me on the shoulder, saying ," Well done ." Later that day, we heard birds singing happily and I guessed they were the Robin parents .(85 words )
