With such a strong artistic heritage，it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries.These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA)，London
Not your standard gallery，the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art，but its practice.It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking.Besides，what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences，allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.

Whitworth，Manchester

Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula.He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table，and today the memory inspires him to help those in need.When an invasive(入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches，Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous，but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water.Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years，and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well.Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines later.
With tourism dollars at risk，officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed，but only Omar saw its true potential.The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families，but he knew there was more to do.Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences，he decided to become an agent(推动者) for change.
When sargassum started arriving，everyone was complaining.“I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad，” Omar explained.
In 2018，Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock.He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay，then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days.The end result is an organic，sustainable，and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date，Omar’s company，Bluegreen Mexico，has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need.Omar said he would take on more projects，and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.
24．What can be learned from paragraph 1
A．Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
B．Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
C．Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
D．Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
25．How did most people react to the increasing sargassum
A．They didn’t take it seriously.
B．They were anxious to clear it up.
C．They viewed it as new materials.
D．They were excited to see a grand scene.
26．Which words can best describe Omar
A．Sympathetic and innovative.
B．Strong-willed and confident.
C．Quick-thinking and humorous.
D．Honest and ambitious.
27．What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success
A．It’s never too old to learn.
B．Love shines every dark corner.
C．Solutions can be obtained from problems.
D．Heroes arise from humble beginnings.

An ancient Latin proverb says “Aquila non capit muscas”—eagles don’t hunt flies—meaning that important ones shouldn’t concern themselves with small，insignificant matters.But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants，because these ants are changing their lifestyles.
The story starts with the acacia trees(金合欢树) in an African wildlife area in central Kenya.Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific ant species，which in turn defend the trees against herbivores(食草动物)．The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves.This is highly effective；the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers.
But these ants are in trouble.Another species called the “big-headed” ant is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants.This，in turn，sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and how lions can hunt.
This ant invasion(入侵) affects one thing after the other.It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores especially elephants.The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas.The lions，while hunting for food，have no more trees to use for hiding.This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in.
“These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together，determining who is eaten and where，” said Todd Palmer，an ecologist from Florida.
The lions，which are already endangered，are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras.The zebras，of course，can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover.Instead，they are targeting water buffalo.But this also isn’t the end of the story.Who knows what the lions’ changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line
28．What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Direct. B．Seek.
C．Identify. D．Discourage.
29．What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction
A．Cooperating with “big-headed” ants.
B．Damaging the hiding place for lions.
C．Protecting the acacias from herbivores.
D．Starting off the disturbance of the chain.
30．Why did the author mention lions，zebras and water buffalo in the last paragraph
A．To show animals fall victim to bigger ones.
B．To show the ecology is on the road to recovery.
C．To show animals are correlated in the ecosystem.
D．To show species are firmly positioned in the food chain.
31．What is the text mainly about
A．How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt.
B．Why African lions are endangered.
C．What ecologists find about animals.
D．How the law of the jungle works in Africa.

The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers—it accepts only the sick.The Saint Lukas is one of five government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia.Each stop lasts an average of two days，and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural(乡村) populations with basic medical care，X-ray scans and prescriptions.
“People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning，” says Emile Ducke，a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the vast regions(区域) of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization.The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem，particularly in the poorer，rural areas east of the Volga River，including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation.For 10 months every year，the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks，before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock(补给)．Then it starts all over again the next month.Most stations wait about a year between visits.
Doctors see up to 150 patients every day.The train’s equipment allows for basic check-ups.“I was very impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and very concerned，” says Ducke.“They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want.”
32．How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains
A．It runs across countries.
B．It reserves seats for the seniors.
C．It functions as a hospital.
D．It travels along a river.
33．What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk
A．It is heavily populated.
B．It offers training for doctors.
C．It is a modern city.
D．It needs medical aid.
34．How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply
A．About a year.
B．About ten months.
C．About two months.
D．About two weeks.
35．What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services
A．Appreciative. B．Doubtful.
C．Ambiguous. D．Cautious.

When attending holiday parties，we are eager to help our hosts in the kitchen，with food and drink service，and with post-party clean-up，which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host. 36 Here’s what professional event planners recommend.
Be sure to respond in a timely manner. 37 If the invitation asks you to respond，do so well before the host has to reach out to confirm your attendance.Hosts who don’t want their guests to help out during the party can hint that all has been taken care of right on the invitation.
38 Asking a host if you can assist on the event date can be overwhelming，but extending that offer while the host is still planning the party and putting the details together may prove more useful.If you are someone who loves to help，contact the host in advance and offer your assistance. 39
Don’t show up early.Respect the event’s start time and arrive on time or 5 minutes later than the time on the invitation.If the invitation says 7：15 pm，guests should arrive between 7：15 and 7：20.
When the party is over，don’t stay.At the end of the evening，you can make one last offer to help the host tidy up the space.But if they refuse，don’t insist. 40 So it’s the guest’s responsibility to leave at an appropriate hour.
A．Consider offering help to the host ahead of time.
B．So what can you do to really help holiday hosts
C．Contact the host to know the details about the party.
D．Many hosts are too polite to tell people it’s time to go.
E．Being a good guest begins long before the party begins.
F．This way，the host can know an extra pair of hands is available as needed.
G．The invitation phase serves as a prime opportunity to clarify the event’s tone.

As a writer，I miss rejection slips.Not that I enjoyed receiving those pre-printed slips of paper，but at least when I got one，I was pretty sure that a flesh-and-blood 41 had put it in the envelope.And there was always the chance I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom， 42 the piece almost made it.When an editor at McCall’s wrote，“I’m afraid I have to say no on this 43 piece，but try me again on another，would you？” It was almost as 44 to me as if she had said，“We’ll 45 it and here is an advance for you.”
Nowadays，rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online submissions.Most editors don’t feel it a must to 46 your work because they receive so many 47 each day.
For me，there are three 48 of rejection slip pain.The first is 49 brought on by finding a flat “no” on a(n) 50 piece of paper，then followed by anger (how could they 51 a piece that is obviously so much 52 than most of the stuff they print)，and，finally，rebirth：I will live to 53 a new piece another day.
Learning to 54 rejection seems like part of growing up as a writer.Despite the many letters of acceptance I have received，my folder of “Noteworthy Rejection Slips” is far 55 than that of “Noteworthy Acceptances”，which indicates to me the fact：I still have some growing up to do.

For many，an act of kindness is its own reward.But Eva Hachey found her selflessness answered in ways she could never have imagined.
For weeks，Eva Hachey had imagined adopting a golden Chihuahua with a white spot on its forehead.And there he was，at her local SPCA in Fredericton，New Brunswick.The dog had been abused by his previous owners and was timid.“He’d come to me，then back away and growl，then come back to me，” Hachey said.“After 15 minutes，the attendant picked him up and put him in my lap.He started giving me kisses.He stole my heart in that moment.” She adopted the ten-month-old puppy on the spot and named him Bruno.
Bruno lived happily with Hachey and her 28-year-old daughter，Angel Hutchinson，for five months.Then，on the evening of September 26,2016，Hachey,52 at the time，returned home as usual at 8 p．m.from her job as a chiropractic assistant and office manager.And as usual，she ate supper in front of the TV in the living room.Around 10: 30，a friend called，just as Bruno went into Hutchinson’s room to go to sleep for the night.Hachey and her friend chatted a bit，and as Hachey hung up，she noticed the time was 11: 08.
“The next thing I remember was a male voice saying，‘Eva，Eva，wake up.’ It was an emergency doctor，” said Hachey.“I looked around，and the room was just full of people.And I said，‘What are you doing in my house？’”
What they were doing was saving her life.By the time Hachey had hung up with her friend，Hutchinson was fast asleep in her bedroom and Bruno was in his usual spot next to her under the blankets.Hachey believed Bruno heard something odd then and possibly went to the living room to investigate.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Unexpectedly，Bruno ran back to the bedroom and tried every means to awaken Hutchinson.
A year later，Hachey finally fully recovered.

27．C　[推理判断题。文章主要讲述了一种叫马尾藻的入侵海藻对人们的生活产生了不良影响，奥马尔·巴斯克斯却看到这种海藻的潜力，在帮助清理海藻的同时，利用这种海藻创造出一种有机的、可持续的生态友好型建筑材料，为有需要的人建造了低收入保障住房。由此推知，作者想要通过奥马尔的成功告诉我们解决方案可以从问题中获得。故选C。]
28．D　[词义猜测题。根据上文“The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves.”可知，蚂蚁可以攻击和驱赶食草动物，再结合画线词前的“蚂蚁不仅在身体上伤害食草动物”可知，“but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers”意为“(蚂蚁)还释放出可以阻止其他潜在攻击者的化学物质”，即deter意为“阻止”，与discourage同义。故选D。]
29．B　[细节理解题。根据第四段前四句“这种蚂蚁的入侵影响了一件又一件事。这使得金合欢树无法抵御食草动物，尤其是大象。大象吃金合欢的速度是未被(这种蚂蚁)入侵地区的5到7倍。狮子在寻找食物的时候没有更多的树可以用来躲藏”可知，在连锁反应中大象破坏了狮子的藏身之处。故选B。]
30．C　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段和最后一段可知，“大头”蚂蚁的入侵导致金合欢树大量被吃，这使得狮子在狩猎时失去掩护，进而导致以斑马为主食的狮子转而猎杀水牛。由此推知，作者提到狮子、斑马和水牛是为了说明动物在生态系统中是相互关联的。故选C。]
31．A　[主旨大意题。通读全文尤其根据第一段第二句可知，文章主要介绍了小蚂蚁如何影响狮子的捕猎方式。故选A。]
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由俄罗斯政府资助的为该国中东部偏远贫困地区提供医疗服务的圣卢卡斯号火车及其对居民的意义。
32．C　[细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，圣卢卡斯号不载乘客，只接收病人，为偏远地区的人们提供医疗服务，这与C项“作医院用”相符。故选C。]
33．D　[推理判断题。第三段提到俄罗斯政府努力采取措施以推动公共医疗服务现代化，且段末以Krasnoyarsk为例，说明政府鼓励医生去类似的偏远地区行医，由此可以推断，Krasnoyarsk需要医疗援助，故选D。]
34．D　[细节理解题。根据第四段的“For 10 months every year，the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks，before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock(补给)．”可知，圣卢卡斯号在两周内停靠8个车站，然后返程去补给，可推知一次补给可以维持大约两周，故选D。]
35．A　[观点态度题。根据最后一段中Ducke说的“I was very impressed”和“They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want.”可知，Ducke对圣卢卡斯号提供的服务持赞赏的态度，故选A。]
36．B　[由上文“...which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host.”及下文“Here’s what professional event planners recommend.”可知，本空跟“如何正确帮助主人”有关，B选项能承上启下。故选B。]
37．E　[由下文“If the invitation asks you to respond，do so well before the host has to reach out to confirm your attendance.”可知，要及时回复邀请，E选项“做一名好的客人从派对开始前很久开始”与下文意义以及文章主旨一致。故选E。]
38．A　[由下文“If you are someone who loves to help，contact the host in advance and offer your assistance.”可知，本段主要讲“提前联系主人并提供帮助”有关的话题，A选项与下文意义一致。故选A。]
39．F　[由上文“If you are someone who loves to help，contact the host in advance and offer your assistance.”可知，本空要说这样做对于主人的好处，F选项能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。]

42．B 　[根据上文“I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom”可知，编辑手写的句子表明这篇文章几乎快要成功了。故选B。]
43．D　[根据下文“but try me again on another”可知，这是编辑对于退稿的委婉的说法，赞扬文章很特别，但是不得不拒绝，并鼓励作者再接再厉。故选D。]
44．C　[根据上文“but try me again on another”可知，收到编辑的鼓励应该是一件令人兴奋的事情。故选C。]
45．A 　[根据下文“here is an advance for you”可知，此处表示将要购买，先付了预付款。故选A。]
46．D 　[根据上文“Nowadays，rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online submissions.”可知，如今，由于网上投稿的使用，退稿单似乎已经消失了，大多数编辑并不觉得必须告知他们已经收到你的作品。acknowledge此处为熟词生义，意为“告知收到”。故选D。]
47．C　[根据上文“Most editors don’t feel it a must to your work”可知，此处指的是编辑每天收到很多投稿。故选C。]
48．B　[根据下文“The first”，“then”和“finally”可知，此处指对作者而言，被退稿后的痛苦有三个阶段。故选B。]

语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，阐述了中国古典家具的历史、制作工艺、哲学意义及其与文化和审美的关联。
56．recorded　[考查非谓语动词。空后是名词，所以空处应填非谓语动词作定语，history和record之间是被动关系，应该用 ed形式，表达“被记录的历史”之意。故填recorded。]
57．that　[考查代词。根据句意，空处应用代词that代指前文的the history。故填that。]

Dear Ryan，
Thrilled to hear about your plan for the English Reading Bar，I would heartily recommend fantasy novels as a captivating choice for our students.
Filled with thrilling adventures and memorable characters，fantasy novels can transport readers into magical and imaginative worlds.These narratives，often rich in detail and creativity，spark the imagination and curiosity of young minds.Moreover，they encourage us students to think outside the box and develop a deeper understanding of human nature and ethical dilemmas.By discussing these books，we students can engage in lively debates，exchange ideas，and broaden our horizons，all enhancing our critical thinking skills.
In conclusion，I firmly believe that fantasy novels will be a thought provoking addition to the English Reading Bar，fostering a deeper appreciation for literature among us students.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.

第二节　参考范文
Unexpectedly，Bruno ran back to the bedroom and tried every means to awaken Hutchinson.He barked and jumped on and off the bed.When that didn’t work，he attacked Hutchinson’s fleshy skin between her fingers.Finally，Hutchinson woke up and was immediately led into the living room，only to discover Hachey passed out in the chair.She had almost stopped breathing and was apparently in danger.Without hesitation，Hutchinson lifted her head up so her mother could breathe，and dialed 911 on her cell.The ambulance finally arrived and Hachey was rushed to the hospital.It turned out that she suffered a stroke and would have died without the quick response.
A year later，Hachey finally fully recovered.Recalling the experience，she was convinced that being found so quickly after the attack was the key factor in helping her survive.She owed it to Bruno，saying that it was he that saved her life.“I never imagined he would save my life when I adopted him.I did believe the animal would pick us and I am lucky he chose me.” Hachey gazed at Bruno and stroked his fur gently，smiling contentedly.Any act of kindness is its own reward，no matter how small it seems.
