In fact, many clients (委托人) believe the organization gives them the mental and emotional support they need to deal with other parts of their lives.

It is really surprising how many people are drinking green tea. Green tea was on humans’ grocery shelves years after its original purpose. First it began as an age-long cure in the Asian culture for digestive conditions and to help stop bleeding.
Green tea is actually different from many of its fellow tea friends. It goes through a different process of leaf fermentation (发酵), holding onto the most essential part of the green tea leaves. The tea leaf itself is not fermented as long as many others, like black tea. The antioxidants (抗氧化物质) are the best part. Recent studies show that they can also be helpful in reducing cholesterol (胆固醇).
New research shows that drinking green tea is a good start to lower cholesterol in many ways. It can help increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) (高密度脂蛋白) while decreasing low density lipoprotein (LDL), better known as good and bad levels of cholesterol found in the body.
Recent studies show that green tea also aids in preventing the liver from absorbing any unwanted cholesterol. Let us first understand a bit about cholesterol before we can understand why it is bad for your liver. Cholesterol is made up of a fat-like material that is found in every part of your body. It is a protein that is in your cells and travels through your blood vessels.
Think of all the benefits you can gain from eating foods high in antioxidants. Thus, you need an entire lifestyle change to drink green tea. Your cholesterol level will be under control.
8. Why did humans use green tea at first
A. To lower cholesterol in the body.
B. To treat digestive diseases and bleeding.
C. To live a longer life.
D. To treat their important guests as a drink.
9. How does green tea reduce cholesterol
A. By increasing LDL.
B By decreasing HDL.
C. By increasing HDL and decreasing LDL.
D. By stopping the body absorbing unwanted cholesterol.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Green tea. B. The liver. C. Fat. D. Cholesterol.
11. Who does the author advise to drink more green tea
A. People who have a lot of unwanted cholesterol.
B. People who prefer to drink green tea or black tea.
C. People who want to lose weight and keep healthy.
D. People whose cholesterol level has been under control.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A

【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Let us first understand a bit about cholesterol before we can understand why it is bad for your liver. (在我们了解为什么胆固醇对肝脏有害之前，让我们先了解一下胆固醇。)”可知，此处的it指的是上文提到的cholesterol“胆固醇”。故选D。

Many of China’s ancient buildings were in danger of being destroyed before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng started recording them in the 1930s. Thu husband-and-wife team were among the first people to work on protecting these buildings in China, and they are also the most well-known. Their efforts have inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture that is threatened by rapid development.
Becoming China’s best architectural historians was anything but an easy task. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old and often located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to travel through dangerous areas in the Chinese countryside to reach them. During the 1930s, exploring remote areas in China meant traveling on muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule or on foot. Inns (客栈) were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always a risk of violence from rebels, soldiers, and robbers.
Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was rebuilt in 857 AD, making it the oldest building known in China at the time. Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidden, forgotten areas to determine its age. One area they explored was inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats.
“In complete darkness and among an awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and took pictures with flashlights for several hours. When we finally came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. However, the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those hours the happiest of my years hunting for ancient architecture.” Liang wrote about his experience in a book called Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring Chin’s Architectural Past.
12. Why did Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng record ancient buildings in China
A. To gain fame as architects.
B. To inspire younger generations.
C To protect them from destruction.
D. To study their historical importance.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The challenges faced by architects in China.
B. The significance of ancient Chinese buildings.
C. The methods used to protect ancient buildings.
D. The contributions of architects to Chinese culture.
14. What did Liang think of his exploration of the Temple of Buddha’s Light
A. It was effortless but fruitful.
B. It was dangerous but meaningless.
C. It was challenging but rewarding.
D. It was breathtaking but time-consuming.
15. Where is this article most likely taken from
A. a travel brochure on ancient Chinese sites.
B. A magazine about famous Chinese couples.
C. A research paper on ancient Chinese architecture.
D. A book on the protection of Chinese cultural heritage.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D

The husband-and-wife team were among the first people to work on protecting these buildings in China(在 20 世纪 30 年代林徽因和梁思成开始记录中国古建筑之前，许多古建筑都面临着被破坏的危险。这对夫妻是中国最早致力于保护这些建筑的人之一)”可知，林徽因和梁思成记录中国古建筑是为了保护它们不被破坏。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old and often located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to travel through dangerous areas in the Chinese countryside to reach them. During the 1930s, exploring remote areas in China meant traveling on muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule or on foot. Inns (客栈) were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always a risk of violence from rebels, soldiers, and robbers.(他们想要拯救的建筑已有数百年历史，而且常常位于该国偏远地区。在很多情况下，他们必须穿越中国农村的危险地区才能到达那些建筑。在 20 世纪 30 年代，在中国偏远地区探险意味着要骑着骡子或步行在泥泞、维护不善的道路上。客栈常常很脏，食物可能会被污染，而且总是存在来自叛军、士兵和强盗的暴力风险)”可知，第二段主要讲了在中国保护古建筑时建筑师所面临的挑战。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In complete darkness and among an awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and took pictures with flashlights for several hours. When we finally came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. However, the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those hours the happiest of my years hunting for ancient architecture.(在完全黑暗和难闻的气味中，几乎无法呼吸，我们用厚口罩捂住口鼻，用手电筒测量、绘图和拍照了几个小时。当我们终于出来呼吸新鲜空气时，我们在包里发现了数百只臭虫。我们自己也被狠狠地咬了一口。然而，我们发现的重要性和意外性使那几个小时成为我多年来寻找古建筑中最快乐的时光)”可推知，梁认为他对佛光寺的探索虽然充满挑战（如黑暗、恶臭、臭虫叮咬等）但很有收获（发现了重要的古建筑）。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讲述了林徽因和梁思成这对夫妻在中国古建筑保护方面做出的努力，他们为了记录和保护古建筑克服重重困难，还发现了山西五台山佛光寺这一重要古建筑，并介绍了探索佛光寺的经历以及他们的发现对古建筑保护的意义。所以短文来自“一本关于中国文化遗产保护的书”。故选D。

第二节 读后续写（共 1 题，满分 25 分）
54. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
When my editor asked me to go old-school and only use cash for a week to test whether it was impossible or easy to live without digital payments, my response was, “I don’t even know where my bank card is.”
Like many other Chinese, I seldom use cash. A report found that cash accounts for (占……比例) just 6 percent of whole-of-sale transactions (交易) in China. Some businesses have gone cashless, causing some criticism (批评) from elsewhere. One Facebook group, set up last year with the purpose of identifying and boycotting (抵制) businesses that refuse cash, now has 55,000 members. Therefore, how hard is it to live off or without cash alone
The first challenge was the bus. I usually pay for the bus by swiping (刷卡) my credit card. But now, I needed to first go to a nearby station to buy a transport card and load it with cash. Then, when going home later at night, I couldn’t use any ride-hailing (打车服务) apps as they all required linking a bank card. Instead, I chose to take a taxi, clicking the “cash” payment when ordering it.
Over the course of the week, I was happy to discover that my usual spots — the coffee shop, fruit and vegetable store and the pool — still accepted cash. After I handed the owner of the fruit and vegetable shop $40 to pay for the $31.10 price of my goods, he asked if I had $1.10 in change. I didn’t, so he gave me a discount and handed me $10 back.
Paragraph I: I asked if he preferred people using cards over cash, but he said he preferred cash.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph II: Once again having cash in my wallet, I felt at ease.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I asked if he preferred people using cards over cash, but he said he preferred cash. I was surprised and asked why. He explained it let him pay his suppliers sooner and gave him a better understanding of how much he’d earned for the day. Moreover, he didn’t face any transaction fees. Usually, if I spend under $10 he’ll add 20 cents to the charge to help cover the transaction fees. It’s these little costs that can add up, with businesses able to charge extra money for those paying by card.
Once again having cash in my wallet, I felt at ease. I was afraid I wouldn’t be used to the life without digital payments at first. However, after a week, I noticed I was more aware of how much money I had, and I could better control how much money I spent and avoid wasting money on useless things. I managed to use cash without any problem, and I hope it stays that way.

Being busy with personal and professional responsibilities makes many women feel stressed. Hot Mess Express offers the support needed to create a sense of order and comfort at home.
Jen Hamilton a nurse and mother of two, created Hot Mess Express in 2021 after learning that a large number of women, particularly moms, were struggling to manage their homes due to life’s many pressures.

They don’t just offer cleaning and organizing services. More importantly, they are willing to talk with the women who are stuck at home and feel down. They are able to help ease that feeling.
Those who have received help from the organization describe feeling a renewed sense of hope and energy. Their services have offered a fresh start to families burdened by housework and disorganization. In fact, many clients (委托人) believe the organization gives them the mental and emotional support they need to deal with other parts of their lives.

It is really surprising how many people are drinking green tea. Green tea was on humans’ grocery shelves years after its original purpose. First it began as an age-long cure in the Asian culture for digestive conditions and to help stop bleeding.
Green tea is actually different from many of its fellow tea friends. It goes through a different process of leaf fermentation (发酵) holding onto the most essential part of the green tea leaves. The tea leaf itself is not fermented as long as many others, like black tea. The antioxidants (抗氧化物质) are the best part. Recent studies show that they can also be helpful in reducing cholesterol (胆固醇).
New research shows that drinking green tea is a good start to lower cholesterol in many ways. It can help increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) (高密度脂蛋白) while decreasing low density lipoprotein (LDL), better known as good and bad levels of cholesterol found in the body.
Recent studies show that green tea also aids in preventing the liver from absorbing any unwanted cholesterol. Let us first understand a bit about cholesterol before we can understand why it is bad for your liver. Cholesterol is made up of a fat-like material that is found in every part of your body. It is a protein that is in your cells and travels through your blood vessels.
Think of all the benefits you can gain from eating foods high in antioxidants. Thus, you need an entire lifestyle change to drink green tea. Your cholesterol level will be under control.
8. Why did humans use green tea at first
A. To lower cholesterol in the body.
B. To treat digestive diseases and bleeding.
C. To live a longer life.
D. To treat their important guests as a drink.
9. How does green tea reduce cholesterol
A. By increasing LDL.
B By decreasing HDL.
C. By increasing HDL and decreasing LDL.
D. By stopping the body absorbing unwanted cholesterol.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Green tea. B. The liver. C. Fat. D. Cholesterol.
11. Who does the author advise to drink more green tea
A. People who have a lot of unwanted cholesterol.
B. People who prefer to drink green tea or black tea.
C. People who want to lose weight and keep healthy.
D. People whose cholesterol level has been under control.

Many of China’s ancient buildings were in danger of being destroyed before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng started recording them in the 1930s. Thu husband-and-wife team were among the first people to work on protecting these buildings in China, and they are also the most well-known. Their efforts have inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture that is threatened by rapid development.
Becoming China’s best architectural historians was anything but an easy task. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old and often located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to travel through dangerous areas in the Chinese countryside to reach them. During the 1930s, exploring remote areas in China meant traveling on muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule or on foot. Inns (客栈) were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always a risk of violence from rebels, soldiers, and robbers.
Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was rebuilt in 857 AD, making it the oldest building known in China at the time. Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidden, forgotten areas to determine its age. One area they explored was inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats.
“In complete darkness and among an awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and took pictures with flashlights for several hours. When we finally came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. However, the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those hours the happiest of my years hunting for ancient architecture.” Liang wrote about his experience in a book called Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring Chin’s Architectural Past.
12. Why did Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng record ancient buildings in China
A. To gain fame as architects.
B. To inspire younger generations.
C. To protect them from destruction.
D. To study their historical importance.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The challenges faced by architects in China.
B. The significance of ancient Chinese buildings.
C. The methods used to protect ancient buildings.
D. The contributions of architects to Chinese culture.
14. What did Liang think of his exploration of the Temple of Buddha’s Light
A. It was effortless but fruitful.
B. It was dangerous but meaningless.
C. It was challenging but rewarding.
D. It was breathtaking but time-consuming.
15. Where is this article most likely taken from
A. a travel brochure on ancient Chinese sites.
B. A magazine about famous Chinese couples.
C. A research paper on ancient Chinese architecture.
D. A book on the protection of Chinese cultural heritage.

54. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
When my editor asked me to go old-school and only use cash for a week to test whether it was impossible or easy to live without digital payments, my response was, “I don’t even know where my bank card is.”
Like many other Chinese, I seldom use cash. A report found that cash accounts for (占……比例) just 6 percent of whole-of-sale transactions (交易) in China. Some businesses have gone cashless, causing some criticism (批评) from elsewhere. One Facebook group, set up last year with the purpose of identifying and boycotting (抵制) businesses that refuse cash, now has 55,000 members. Therefore, how hard is it to live off or without cash alone
The first challenge was the bus. I usually pay for the bus by swiping (刷卡) my credit card. But now, I needed to first go to a nearby station to buy a transport card and load it with cash. Then, when going home later at night, I couldn’t use any ride-hailing (打车服务) apps as they all required linking a bank card. Instead, I chose to take a taxi, clicking the “cash” payment when ordering it.
Over the course of the week, I was happy to discover that my usual spots — the coffee shop, fruit and vegetable store and the pool — still accepted cash. After I handed the owner of the fruit and vegetable shop $40 to pay for the $31.10 price of my goods, he asked if I had $1.10 in change. I didn’t, so he gave me a discount and handed me $10 back.
Paragraph I: I asked if he preferred people using cards over cash, but he said he preferred cash.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph II: Once again having cash in my wallet, I felt at ease.
