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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The ritual of riding bikes together is a saving grace for families. From forest tracks to coastal paths, we pick easy-to-follow bike routes through beautiful scenery.
Route 1
This traffic-free section of the Deeside Way runs along an old railway route. This ride runs through forests that are especially attractive in autumn. This is an out-and-back route rather than a loop (环形), so if the full ride seems too long, simply turn around earlier to make it a shorter ride.
·Distance: 22 miles return. Bike hire: 20 a day for an adult 10 for a child.
Route 2
The stretch of the Kennet & Avon Canal is picturesque. The path is shared with walkers, which keeps the pace of riding slow. The route is perfectly suited for relaxed family cycling. Highlights include Claverton Pumping Station, but kids will definitely love the boat that sells ice-cream and the rope swings along the way.
·Distance:17.6 miles return. Bike hire: 18 a day for an adult, 15 for a child.
Route 3
The scenic Mawddach Trail lies in the shadow of Cadair Idris, one of the wellknown and popular mountains in southern Snowdonia. But don’t be put off: this is an easy, flat and coastal route, with no serious climbs. This path is rich in birdlife, and a huge variety of butterflies and dragonflies. It’s also grass snake country.
·Distance: 18 miles return. Bike hire: 20 a day for an adult, 10 for a child.
Route 4
The Shepherd Trail in Thetford Forest is a green trail. The path is relatively flat, wide enough for cyclists to ride two abreast and short enough to be manageable for even the most out-of-practice or novice (新手) cyclists.
·Distance: 5-mile loop. Bike hire: 36 a day for an adult, 29 for a child.
1. How much will a couple with a child pay for one-day riding along Route 1
A. 30. B. 40. C. 50. D. 60.
2. What makes Route 2 different from the others
A. It has beautiful views. B. It is child-friendly.
C. It allows fast riding. D. It follows an old railway.
3. Who would most probably prefer to ride on Route 3
A. A wildlife lover. B. A long-distance cyclist.
C. A playful child. D. A vacation camper.
B
Elephants are the largest land mammals on the planet. Due to successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, numbers went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021.
While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live near the park. An elephant can eat a farm’s entire harvest in one day, seriously threatening a family’s food security. “I planted about six kilos of green grams; they were all caten,” a Kenyan farmer said during an interview. And although elephants are typically peaceful, they can endanger humans if the animals, in the search for food, end up trampling (踩踏) homes.
Now, an innovative solution has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. Lucy King, the head of the Save the Elephants program, had documented elephants running from bees, kicking up dust as if trying to knock bees out of the air. Bees tended to sting elephants around the eyes, behind the ears, and even inside the trunk when getting disturbed. Even recordings of buzzing bees that King played in the bush led to elephants running.
The project is using this, supporting farmers by hives (蜂箱). The hives are strung on a wire a few meters off the ground. This allows farmers to shake them if disturbed by an elephant, which starts the bees humming to scare the elephant away. During peak crop-growing seasons (November to January), the beehive fences prevented an annual average of 86.3% of elephants from eating crops. Across all seasons, the fences prevented an annual average of 76% of elephants.
And let’s not forget that bees provide pollination (授粉) services that increase crop yields and extract honey. Farmers can sell the honey from the hives to supplement their income. Selling honey can add $50 to $100 to a family’s income per harvest. King says, “The honey is a huge benefit. Though not too much, a jar of honey saves elephants and feeds more families.”
4 What is the cause of farmers’ concern about elephants near the park
A. They make noise near the farmers’ homes. B. They pollute the water sources.
C. They bring food and security problems. D. They disturb the normal traffic.
5. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The bees’ tendency to sting elephants. B. The elephants’ fear of bees.
C. The ability of elephants to create dust. D. The usage of fences in the bush.
6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the data in paragraph 4
A. To highlight the challenges faced by farmers. B. To illustrate the effectiveness of beehives.
C. To introduce a new method of crop cultivation. D. To stress the importance of wildlife conservation.
7. What does King think of the project
A It has added value. B. It makes lots of money.
C. It favors large farms. D. It focuses on sales.
C
The media always bombards (轰炸) us with the usual “New Year, New You” articles. Finding Mr. (or Mrs.) Right, they proclaim, is easy. Struggling with money There’s a simple fix. There are countless self-help books making similar claims. But unlike printed media, people are complicated and “simple fixes” to life’s greatest problems can’t normally be solved so easily. In my experience, few live up to their own hype (宣传) and many repeat the same “research” found elsewhere.
But, from time to time, a new title in the “personal development” genre will come along that does what it says on the tin. Hotlifestyle: Essential Basics by Paul McQueen promises many things, but assured happiness and countless riches for all aren’t thankfully among them. His book advocates a sense of accomplishment over accomplishment itself; happiness can be found not only at the destination but also on the journey. Hotlifestyle, then, is a guidebook to get one’s life back on track.
In the course of its 288 pages, the book provides advice about overcoming some of the more common complaints in our lives. Unlike many smug (自鸣得意的) authors, McQueen’s suggestions are actually doable. Rather than demanding that people immediately switch from a drinks-and-pizza lifestyle to that of an ultra-marathoner, he instead promotes the benefits of making small and sustainable changes in everyday life that can help us make the life improvements we seek.
What makes the book so particularly attractive is the author’s frankness. One person’s measure of success is not the same as another’s, he argues, and wealth in itself offers no lasting guarantee of happiness and fulfillment. Rather, McQueen encourages us to get what we know we deserve. He makes no guarantees that readers will become overnight millionaires or “new” people. His message is a pretty simple one. It’s about becoming the best possible version of yourself.
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence in paragraph 2
A. Gives enough simple life fixes. B. Truly fulfills what it claims.
C. Starts from a different point. D. Really attracts readers’ attention.
9. What is the theme of Hotlifestyle: Essential Basics
A. Popular lifestyles. B. Life improvements.
C. Journey guides. D. Personal relationships.
10. What does the author think of McQueen’s book
A. Interesting and revolutionary. B. Serious and objective.
C. Humorous and straightforward. D. Practical and realistic.
11. What does McQueen suggest people do
A Find our own goals in life. B. Pursue rapid self-advancement.
C. Learn from others’ success. D. Ignore the fulfillment from wealth.
D
Many people often do nice things for others. Well, here’s something interesting about “doing good”. Research suggests that when we make acts of kindness a habit, it’s also good for both our mental and physical health, whether it's volunteering at a local organization, or taking soup to a sick neighbor, says Tara Gruenewald, a social and health psychologist.
Most of the evidence comes from observational studies of people who volunteer regularly. But there is also experimental evidence. Perhaps the most striking one comes from the Baltimore Experience Corps study, where adults aged 60 and older were randomly assigned to either volunteer at schools or be put on a waiting list. The volunteers spent at least 15 hours a week helping kids with their studies. After two years, the researchers found that the volunteers had measurable changes.
“They didn’t experience declines in memory and cognitive (认知的) function like we saw in our control participants. There was even an increase in brain volume in areas of the brain that support cognitive processes,” says Gruenewald. “Volunteers also became more physically active, which is important for maintaining both cognitive and physical health as folks age,” she explains.
It is likely that multiple processes are at play. For example, stress causes a series of reactions in your body that can drive up blood pressure and other problems, ultimately leading to other poor health outcomes. But volunteering can draw your attention away from the problems that you might be having. Also when you help others, it also makes you less lonely, which is also crucial for your physical health.
Julia Boehm, an associate professor of psychology at Chapman University, says that most of the research in this field has looked at middle-aged and older adults. There’s less evidence on the health benefits of helping behaviors when it comes to younger people. Given the findings so far, Boehm says she’d like to see health officials make it a public health priority to study the benefits of volunteering and other acts of kindness to minors.
12. Why was Baltimore Experience Corps study different from other studies in this field
A. It observed people often volunteering. B. It involved a large number of kids.
C. It focused on short-term volunteering. D. It was based on experimental evidence.
13. Which aspect of the volunteers had obvious changes by the end of this study
A. Brain function. B. Work efficiency.
C. Knowledge reserve. D. Cognitive style.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How volunteering helps with health. B. Why volunteering strengthens relationships.
C. Which volunteer work is suitable for the old. D. What reactions volunteering causes in the body.
15. What does Julia Boehm suggest
A. Providing additional experimental data. B. Expanding the size of the research subjects.
C. Performing more experiments on the elderly. D. Making volunteer activities a public priority.

Their style matched the previous graffiti, confirming her suspicions. Eager to engage with them, she approached. However, the two boys spotted her, and started running away. “Wait!” Linda called out, her voice gentle but firm. “I just want to talk. You won’t be in trouble.”
The boys hesitated, and then stopped, their expressions a mix of unease and curiosity. “Did you two create the graffiti ” she asked in a soft tone. The taller one looked somewhat frightened but nodded, “Yeah... we did.”
