第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
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
Over 120 bird species are considered lost as they haven’t been seen in the wild for over ten years. Now, the Search for Lost Birds, a global organization, is taking action. It offers people a database (数据库) and encourages them to share information on the lost birds they might find in the wild. Since its establishment in 2021, the project has discovered 15 missing species including these.
Long-billed Bush Warbler
Lost: 1977| Found: 2022
This songbird once existed in such large numbers in the river valleys of Kashmir that some said it could be heard all day long — until changing agricultural practices threatened its habitats. After 45 years of secret, in 2022, the birdwatcher James Eaton found a warbler in a potato field.
Black-naped Pheasant-pigeon
Lost: 1896| Found: 2022
For 126 years, this pheasant-like bird was considered all but lost on its homeland of Fergusson Island, a mountainous land off Papua New Guinea. Recently, an international team of scientists, guided by local hunters, finally took a photo of the pigeon.
Dusky Tetraka
Lost: 1999| Found: 2022/2023
In late 2022, researchers returned to the same location in the rainforest of Madagascar, where the dusky tetraka had last been seen in 1999. Going down in the rainforest, they finally tracked the songbird hunting in the thick undergrowth along a river.
Urich’s Tyrannulet
Lost: 2005| Found: 2021
This flycatcher, observed only three times since its discovery in Venezuela in 1899, seemed to disappear completely after 2005. However, in 2021, a team led by the bird expert David Ascanio took unique photos and the first recording of its call.
1. What is the purpose of the project started by the Search for Lost Birds
A. To advertise the database of wild birds.
B. To investigate the lost 120 bird species.
C. To encourage observing birds in the wild.
D. To rediscover the lost bird species with people’s aid.
2. Which wild bird has been lost for the longest period
A. Long-billed Bush Warbler. B. Black-naped Pheasant-pigeon.
C. Dusky Tetraka. D. Urich’s Tyrannulet.
3. Where will we probably read this passage
A. In a news report. B. In a travel guide.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a bird encyclopedia.
B
As a primary school kid, Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family. Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places.
Three years after graduating from school, Armand bought his first bakkie (箱式轻便货车), a Toyota Cab. Besides camping, Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes. He does this regularly to satisfy his desire to be in nature.
His love of nature means he avoids busy places and settles down in quieter places. However, he doesn’t mind if he comes across someone out in the middle of nowhere; they’re likely to share the same interests.
Verneukpan, now one of Armand’s favourite camping sites, was next on the schedule — a route that would finally take him past Augrabies, Vioolsdrif, the Richtersveld and Port Nolloth. Armand’s journeys aren’t carefully planned. He simply sets daily goals and refuses the usual routes. “Nothing stops you from hitting the road nice and early. Explore the world and enrich your journey instead of following a preplanned route.”
Although Armand mostly camps alone, he’s not completely alone. His sheepdog, Buks, goes along. Buks, Armand’s campsite commander, has a specially-fitted seat on the back seat of the bakkie. When Armand arrives at his destination for the day, he grabs a beer and takes a walk with Buks to explore the surroundings. The camping chairs follow, and then Armand takes in the scenery. “Camping in nature is the perfect escape because it provides peace while refreshing your soul,” says Armand.
4. What made Armand fall in love with camping
A. His wonderful primary school time.
B. The seed he planted at the campsite as a kid.
C. His curiosity to explore other amazing places.
D. The great camping experiences with his family.
5. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Going camping. B. Buying the bakkie.
C. Graduating from school. D. Driving through scenic landscapes.
6. Which of the following can best describe Armand
A. Quiet and organized. B. Peaceful and careful.
C. Curious and courageous. D. Helpful and interesting.
7. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Armand’s New Life B. Armand’s Love for Camping
C. Armand’s Adventures D. Armand’s Camping with Family
C
Whether it’s salty popcorn at the cinema or a bag of ready salted crisps as a quick snack, salt is something many of us desire. While we need salt in our diet, too much of the white stuff can lead to some serious health issues.
The National Health Service suggests that adults should eat no more than 6 grams of salt daily. For children, the amount varies by age. Specifically, kids aged one to three should have 2 grams per day, and older children aged seven to ten can have up to 5 grams. It is important to note that some food packaging only shows the sodium (钠) content. Do not mistake it for the salt content. To get the salt amount, multiply (乘以) the sodium by 2.5. Adults should limit their sodium intake to 2.4 grams a day, which is equal to the recommended 6 grams of salt a day.
Overeating salt can cause high blood pressure. It causes the body to hold water increasing blood pressure and putting stress on organs. Moreover, it leads to water retention. However, too little salt intake is harmful. A study found that adults who ate less than 2 grams of salt a day were more likely to have heart disease than those who had around the recommended 4 to 5 grams.
Luckily, these days, most pre-packed food has nutrition labels on the back to tell us how much salt is in the product. Besides, many foods also show the salt content on the front of the packaging. The salt content can be different in branded foods such as pizza, bread and soups. Thankfully, the Change4Life Food Scanner can aid you to find out how much salt is in a product by using its app on your smartphone to scan the barcode (条形码). You can also use the traditional method of avoiding adding salt on the dinner table. Always taste a dish first. If necessary, add salt carefully.
8. Which daily intake might be recommended according to Paragraph 2
A. 5 grams of sodium for adults.
B. 2.5 grams of salt for two-year-old kids.
C. 6 grams of salt for ten-year-old children.
D 2 grams of sodium for eight-year-old children.
9. Which of the following would the writer probably agree with
A. Too much salt intake can result in water retention.
B. High blood pressure is mainly caused by a lack of salt.
C. People with little salt intake experience more stress on organs.
D. Heart disease is more likely to affect people with too much salt intake.
10. What is suggested to stop taking in too much salt
A. Buying pre-packed food with nutrition labels.
B. Eating branded foods rather than other products.
C. Scanning barcodes to learn products’ salt content.
D. Making it a habit to place salt on the dinner table.
11. What is mainly discussed in the passage
A. Salt intake and health. B. Different functions of salt.
C. Ways to reduce salt intake. D. Connection between salt and sodium.
D
Male mosquitoes may be nearly as blood-thirsty as females under certain conditions, new research suggests. Male mosquitoes, which are normally disinterested in blood, will take blood meals when they are dehydrated (脱水), the scientist Jason Rasgon of Penn State and his colleagues report in a paper. The finding overturns the idea that only female mosquitoes bite, drink blood and spread diseases. Males may not be totally harmless.
A student in Rasgon’s lab noticed that male mosquitoes would sometimes feed on blood in a tray covered by a thin artificial membrane (人工膜) when researchers took away water. Rasgon wanted to know if thirsty males would try to get blood from a person, so he stuck his hand in cages containing male mosquitoes. Hydrated males mostly ignored him, but dehydrated males would land and examine his skin. One even bit him but hardly got into the first layer of the skin. “I was shocked,” says Rasgon.
Male mosquitoes’ long, tubelike mouth parts aren’t able to bite skin deeply enough to draw blood. But a wound caused by Rasgon’s cat allowed him to test whether males could get blood another way. Sure enough, a dehydrated male mosquito drank blood from the open wound.
In another experiment, male mosquitoes that were genetically engineered to be unable to sense wetness didn’t take blood meals more often when lacking water. Those findings suggest that males may go for blood to satisfy their thirst.
One earlier research paper showed that blood was harmful to male mosquitoes. Scientists thought all male mosquitoes didn’t have the ability to break down blood. But in Rasgon’s experiment, male mosquitoes fed only blood lived as long as those that didn’t get blood, and even a little bit longer.
12. What is discovered in Rasgon’s research according to Paragraph 1
A. That female mosquitoes may be harmful.
B. That only female mosquitoes drink blood.
C That male mosquitoes may bite and drink blood.
D. That male mosquitoes are disinterested in blood.
13. How did Rasgon carry out his research
A. By taking away water. B. By experimenting on himself.
C. By placing his cat in the cage. D. By creating a thin artificial membrane.
14. What didn’t Rasgon expect in his research
A. Male mosquitoes would be able to bite deeply into human skin.
B. Male mosquitoes would try to drink human blood when dehydrated.
C. Female mosquitoes would become interested in blood when hydrated.
D. Female mosquitoes would prefer water over blood meals when dehydrated.
15. What did one earlier research paper show
A. Blood would bring harm to male mosquitoes.
B. Blood would make mosquitoes more harmful.
C. Male mosquitoes were able to break down blood.
D. Male mosquitoes fed blood would live as long or longer.

For many, life may be a struggle. You might find yourself feeling fine one minute, only to be filled with anxiety the next. This is all pretty normal, but it can be tiring. ____16____ Even the worst ones!
●Low times matter.
We’d all love to be happy 100% of the time, but that’s not realistic. ____17____ “Let’s not forget that if we didn’t experience low times, we’d never fully appreciate the highs,” says clinical therapist Kate Morris-Bates, the founder of InsideOut Wellness.
●____18____
The University of California’s study found that on rainy days, people remembered details better than on sunny days when their memory was less accurate. “People having negative emotions (情绪) are more focused and thoughtful than those having positive ones,” explains Kate. “Research shows that we are less likely to make mistakes in our memories when we are in a bad mood.”
●Negativity makes us focus.
If we are too optimistic, there’s a chance we can leave ourselves open to danger. Kate says that if a situation has a big risk, a pessimist (悲观主义者) is more likely to think about the worst. ____19____ Then we should think if we are using our optimism or pessimism well.
How can you handle your anger Rather than refuse it, be open to the emotion. Use it to understand what makes you angry and improve your response. One way of doing this is to keep a journal. Every time you feel angry, write down your feelings in whatever form comes to you — single words, full sentences, or even simple drawings. ____20____ It will help you to understand them better.

B. Sadness improves memory.

A Fish on the Baseball Field
My parents always hoped I’d play baseball. You would be amazed at how much they loved baseball. They actually met in line to buy hot dogs at a baseball game. Also, my dad was the star pitcher (投掷手) on his high school team, which happened to go all the way to the state championship!
You might think that with a family history like that, baseball would just be in my blood and I’d be naturally talented at it. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong. When I was little, my dad got me a plastic bat and ball and a mini catcher’s mitt (棒球手套). I could throw OK, but no matter how much I tried, I could not catch or hit at all!
Last year, my friend Ollie was super excited to join a baseball team. Then my parents decided baseball would be the best thing for me, too. Before I could say “Thanks, but no thanks”, they had signed me up!
Don’t get me wrong. The experience wasn’t terrible. Our coach was nice and the kids were great. Even though I never became good at baseball, I did improve. But the very best part of the whole experience — the silver-lining part — was something completely unexpected.
After every baseball practice, Ollie’s grandmother would take us to the community pool on the way home. Ollie was more interested in playing in the pool than swimming. I, on the other hand, could not get enough of swimming.
Ollie usually ended up leaving the water to hang out with his grandmother while I stayed in for a few more minutes with a girl named Isabel, a member of the swim team. We often challenged each other to see who could hold her breath underwater longer or who could get to the other side of the pool faster.
One day, Isabel said, “You are a natural little fish. Do you want to join our swim team ” She looked at me with expectation.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was hesitant (犹豫).

An Impressive Lecture on Chinese Cultural Heritage
Last Friday, our alumnus Li Hua, who is currently studying in the History Department at Peking University, amazed us all with an impressive lecture on Chinese cultural heritage.
Li Hua began by introducing the concept of cultural heritage and its significance in understanding a nation’s history and identity. He then explored specific examples, including the Great Wall, Peking Opera, and traditional Chinese festivals. Each example was brought to life with interesting stories and facts that highlighted the uniqueness and global influence of Chinese culture. During the Q&A session, we eagerly asked questions and shared thoughts on what we’d learned.
We all thought highly of his lecture, as it not only enriched our knowledge of Chinese cultural heritage, but also reminded us of the importance of its preservation.

【答案】范文
I was hesitant. Baseball had always been the family tradition, the sport my parents had envisioned for me since I was little, so the thought of disappointing them felt unbearable. Also, they had already invested so much time and money into my baseball training, and wouldn’t be happy to see me switch to something different. Yet, deep down, I knew swimming was a better fit for me. Isabel, seeing my struggle between sticking with baseball and pursuing my newfound passion, suggested I have an honest conversation with my parents.
When I arrived home, I nervously told my parents about the swim team. “Swimming ” they repeated, astonished. There was a long pause. “But ... baseball and I were never a good match. Swimming just feels natural to me!” I explained. To my surprise, my dad nodded thoughtfully and said, “Actually, I used to swim a little back in college.” My mother inquired in detail about the swim team and the practices. At the end of the conversation, they became supportive, and even proud of my decision. Feeling a huge weight lifted from my shoulders, I couldn’t wait to dive into this new adventure.
