第二部分 阅读(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 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The best time to view the wonderful dancing lights is in the evening but winter in the North brings long nights. In fact, in some places, the sun doesn’t rise at all. Here are four places to view this wonderful night show.
Fairbanks, Alaska
The city lies directly below the activity, so it is a perfect place to view the lights. The shining lights are most commonly seen between 11 pm and 2 am, so don’t forget to set your alarm clock. You can enjoy a stay in a comfortable hotel, which is famous for its hot spring pools and enjoy the show while relaxing in the hot water.
Reykjavík, Iceland
If you visit Iceland, you can expect to experience the northern lights shining above. There is little light pollution in Iceland, so you can view the lights in Reykjavík, but it is recommended that you take a special tour outside of the city. A winter vacation in Iceland has so much to offer.
Yukon Territory, Canada
This distant area of Canada has many spots to view the northern lights shining in the night sky. One of the best places to view the lights and learn about the science as well as the tradition about this gift from Mother Nature, is the Northern Lights Space and Science Center in Watson Lake.
Swedish & Finnish Lapland
Located north of the Arctic (北极的) circle in Northern Finland and Sweden, Lapland has good views of the lights. There are rich daytime activities including sledding (乘雪橇), ice fishing, and learning about the culture of the area. Rukajarvi in Sweden has an ice hotel that is a perfect place for viewing the lights.
1. What can visitors do in Fairbanks, Alaska
A. Enjoy tasty food. B. Go ice fishing.
C. Learn about the local tradition. D. Take a bath in a spring pool.
2. What is special about Swedish & Finnish Lapland
A. It has almost no light pollution.
B. It offers a variety of ice activities.
C. It gets little sunlight all year round.
D. It invites visitors to a special tour outside the city.
3. Which provides visitors with scientific knowledge
A. Fairbanks, Alaska. B. Reykjavík, Iceland.
C. Yukon Territory, Canada. D. Swedish & Finnish Lapland.
B
“I’m excited for our women to show their hard work and efforts,” said Lisa Bluder. “Women’s sports should own this stage, and we’re happy to be leading the way.” Bluder is head coach of the women’s basketball team at the University of Iowa.
The exhibition game took place on October 15 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Iowa went on to defeat DePaul, 94 — 72. The event set a new NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) record for women’s basketball attendance — A total of 55,646 fans watched the game at the historic stadium.
Called “Crossover at Kinnick”, the game benefited the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. The hospital received a check in the amount of $250,000 from ticket sales.
During the game, fans took in “The Wave”, which is known among Iowa Hawkeyes as the best tradition in college sports: Coaches, players, and fans turn to the Children’s Hospital behind the stands to wave to patients and families watching the game.
Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark put on a wonderful performance. She had 34 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. She was also recognized as the Collegiate Women’s Athlete of the Year, an award she won last June.
“Events like the ‘Crossover at Kinnick’ are meaningful for several reasons,” Patrick Kenny said. “They create excitement to start a season and show the fans’ interest in women’s sports.” Kenny is communications manager at the Big Ten Network, which broadcasts college games.
In the 2022 — 2023 season, Louisiana State University defeated Iowa in the national finals. The championship game was the most-watched women’s college basketball game ever.
The growing popularity of women’s basketball makes a big difference, according to Bluder. “This is so important,” she said, “for boys, girls, women, and men, to see the positive impact women’s sports can have on our country as a whole.”
4. What is Bluder’s attitude towards women’s sports
A. Impatient. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.
5. In which way did the exhibition game create a record
A. The ages of its players. B. The size of its audience.
C. The huge difference in the final score. D. The places its players come from.
6. What’s the purpose of “The Wave” in the game
A. To cheer up basketball players. B. To excite the audience in the stadium.
C. To greet patients and their families. D. To let others pay attention to the hospital.
7. What does Kenny intend to tell us in paragraph 6
A. How tough women’s sports are.
B. Why “Crossover at Kinnick” is important.
C. Why women’s sports should create excitement.
D. How to draw audience’s interest to women’s sports.

Lucy was saved in New South Wales, Australia, two years ago. She was suffering from chlamydia, a disease widespread among koalas. Today, she is one of the lucky animals living in tree corridors (走廊) that have been created to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly reducing habitats, or natural environment.
The corridors, planted by the local protection group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are a lifeline for koalas and other animals. All of them are at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken home. This permits increased genetic mixing and protection from human threats (威胁).
“Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars, from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president of Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscape and do not have to put up with us humans.”
The koala is thought to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest threats include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been announced endangered in several Australian states.
Founded in 2019, Bangalow Koalas has planted over 336,000 trees, helping with koala protection and improving the local ecosystem. The group, whose members depend on community volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025.
“One neighbor would want to join and then another neighbor will want to join,” Sparrow said, describing the increase in the number of people taking part in the group.
Volunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together.
A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth about $3.2billion per year to the tourism industry. However, the World Wildlife Fund-Australia reported about drops in koala populations in Australian states, with a 50 percent drop in Queensland and a 62 percent drop in New South Wales since 2001.
8. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Animals. B. Threats. C. Wildfires. D. Plants.
9. What can be learnt about Bangalow Koalas
A. Its members are volunteers from the community. B. It helps animals live together with humans.
C. It faces difficulty getting enough supporters. D. It has achieved its final goal.
10. What do we know from the report of the Australian Koala Foundation
A. The bright future of koalas. B. The challenge of protecting koalas.
C. The tourism value of koalas. D. The mental benefit of planting trees.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Population of Australia’s Koalas Is Rising B. Koalas’ Seriously Damaged Habitats
C. Wildfires and Development Threaten Koalas D. Growing Plants to Save Australia’s Koalas
D
A new electric car from Sweden comes in a flatpack (散装组件) box and it needs putting together.
Stockholm-based Luvly, founded in 2015, designed the microcar to be small and very light so that it could reduce the emissions (排放) that regular shipping entails.
There are countless tiny cars and electric tiny cars that are too small to be considered passenger vehicles. They are becoming very popular in Europe because of convenience, affordability, and a smaller carbon footprint.
To fill this niche (空缺), Luvly will introduce its first model, the Luvly O, later in 2024. The car will roll out in Stockholm, Paris, and Madrid.
The modern two-seater has a top speed of 55 mph (90 kph) with a 62-mile (100 km) distance per charge. It comes with two portable (便携的) batteries that do not use car chargers. In fact, you can recharge from your workplace or home. This is enough for the majority of travels and trips in the city surroundings.
The cars are not a DIY project. In order to be road safe, the flatpacks will be delivered to licensed car factories to put them together.
Tiny cars are not new and they have actually been around since the 1950s. These small lightweight vehicles have developed a name of being unsafe. That’s due to the light designs and limited crumple areas (防撞缓冲区).
Microcars also are not required to be crash tested because they are not subject to the same safety rules but the Luvly O is safe. For light vehicles to compete with cars, and hopefully win cars, they must be safe. People will not accept that you change from driving an SUV to driving what is really a motorbike with a shell. The Luvly O was actually inspired by Formula One cars that are light but have a strong base plate.
Luvly plans to license its flat-pack design to other carmakers, allowing them to build their own models. This is the best way to develop this city mini car.
12. Which can replace the underlined word “entails” in paragraph 2
A. Matches. B. Brings. C. Requires. D. Suffers.
13. Why will Luvly create the electric tiny car
A. To meet the new needs. B. To reduce car-making costs.
C. To make electric vehicles popular. D. To compete with other carmakers.
14. What does the author think of the batteries of the Luvly O
A. They are inconvenient to carry. B. They are expensive to change.
C. They are suitable for big cars. D. They are almost enough for city drivers.
15. What is special about the Luvly O compared with other tiny cars
A. It is light. B. It is actually a race car.
C. It is safe to drive. D. It is similar to an SUV.

47. 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。
About 7 years ago, at the age of 16, I was doing an unpaid job at an aquarium (水族馆). It was amazing because I loved the ocean and still do. I wanted to be a sea scientist, so it was extra special for me.
The other teens working there were nice; we were all there because we wanted to be. I don’t remember having any problems with coworkers at that time and was just enjoying getting to talk about my favorite things for part of the day.
Eventually “Shark Week” rolled around. I was excited because I love sharks. I think they’re wonderful creatures and swimming with sharks is still on my wish list. Obviously, everyone else wanted to work the shark week too as the schedule filled up fast.
I had one shift (轮班) during the shark week. I was dropped off at the aquarium in the morning, ready to talk ha ppily about sharks for the next few hours. I went to my station with a coworker and then I started feeling sick.
I started trembling (颤抖)a bit. I felt warm, then my stomach started shaking and I could not see things clearly. Obviously, my face was very pale and my coworker noticed I was about to fall down. She was able to walk me to one of the worker-only doors before having to go back to her station. I made my way slowly to the office and explained the situation—I needed to go home.
I wanted to cry. That was my only shift during the shark week and I had to miss it. And on top of that, I had to take the bus home. Normally I didn’t mind taking the bus home, but my bus stop was up a very steep (陡峭的) city hill. It’s quite a climb even if you aren’t sick. But I still struggled to do it. But by the time I reached the cupcake shop halfway up the hill, I couldn’t climb any further.
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。
Seeing my bad condition, the owner of the cupcake shop came to my side.

47 Seeing my bad condition, the owner of the cupcake shop came to my side. She helped me into the shop and asked me to sit on a chair and rest for a while, and then she asked one of the shop assistants to give me some warm water to drink. She asked me what was wrong and I told her what had happened. After I drank the water, she brought me a glass of milk and a cupcake. Under their care, I felt much better. The owner asked the assistant to accompany me while I walked to the bus stop. Finally, I succeeded in taking the bus home with the assistant’s help.
The next day, Mom and I went to thank the kind owner. My mother prepared many gifts for her, including chocolates, drinks and vegetables that we had grown ourselves. The owner was delighted with our visit. We talked over the meal, and soon became good friends. After that, every time I passed her shop, I would go in and buy a few cupcakes. She often gave me gifts, and my mother also asked me to bring vegetables to her. Her shop became my second home. Though I missed the shark week, that accident led me to get a very good friend.
