Bring the beauty of native birds into your home
with unique artwork by Pam McGrath Australia and its offshore islands and territories have 898 recorded bird species as of 2014. Of the recorded birds,
165 are considered accidental visitors, of the remainder over 45% are classified as Australian endemics: found nowhere else on earth. It has been suggested that up to 10% of Australian bird species may go extinct by the year 2100 as a result of climate change.
Artist Pam McGrath expresses her lifetime concern for wildlife conservation through these acrylic paintings of Australian birds. While celebrating their beauty and diversity, the birds are presented in abstract design with straight lines, rather than the delicate natural form, to suggest the challenges of their adaption to environmental change.

I sold one of my cars and switched to an e-bike one year ago. I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved for the deeply committed and adventurous, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. However, I live in Colorado; e-bike would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. Before selling my car, I worried most about riding in the cold winter months. But I quickly learned that, as the saying goes, there is no bad weather, only bad clothes. I wear gloves, warm socks and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almost never too cold.
Though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-
bike solved my problem. Even when there was 35 degrees Celsius outside, I didn’t sweat, thanks to my bike’s pedal- assist mode (脚踏辅助模式). If I am honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched to pedal-assist mode, sat back and enjoyed my ride.
But biking to work wasn’t just not unpleasant — it was entirely enjoyable. One day, shortly after selling our car, I hopped on (跳上) my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. I have to say, this sensation made me happier and healthier.
Of course, e-bikes aren’t going to replace every car on every trip. In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s unrealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T (福特公司第一款大规模生产的汽车) replaced horses. But as an individual, making short trips on an e-bike would save money, cut carbon footprints, and improve health and well-being.
What did the author originally think of letting go of his car
A．A healthy move. B．A difficult choice.
C．A call of duty. D．A crowd-driven decision.
How did the author feel about the actual experience of riding to work
Confused. B．Embarrassed. C．Anxious. D．Amazed.
What does the underlined part “this sensation” in paragraph 4 refer to
Interest in exploring new routes. B．Desire to head home faster. C．Relief from work pressure. D．Love for exposure to nature.
What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．E-bike will replace cars very soon. B．Cyclists should do more to protect themselves. C．Cities need a more inclusive transport network. D．The Model T will be back quickly.

Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive (冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’meaning for the younger generation.
A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best never used in any situation as it is “hurtful”. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.
“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the
people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don't know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive to me,”one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I've read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”
Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”
Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old”if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.
What does the thumbs-up emoji mean to Gen Z according to the text
It shows agreement. B．It is considered rude or hurtful. C．It is used to joke with older people. D．It symbolizes friendship.
Why does one woman find the thumbs-up emoji aggressive in her workplace
Because it is a formal way of communication.
Because it shows disagreement with her messages.
Because it seems dismissive and unresponsive.
Because it was used only by younger colleagues.
What can be inferred about older workers from the text
They misunderstand the younger generation's emoji preferences.
They intentionally use thumbs-up to annoy younger colleagues.
They avoid using emojis in work-related chats.
They view emojis as inappropriate in formal settings.
Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage
The Emoji Debate: Generational Differences
How Thumbs-Up Became a Global Symbol
The Rise of Emojis in Professional Chats
Why Older Workers Prefer Thumbs-Up
D
In Mexico, a chinampa is an island that was built up by the native Aztec people with mud from the bottom of a lake that surrounds their capital. One of these areas is called Xochimiloo.
Food grown on the islands in Xochimilco has fed people for hundreds of years, but the chinampas here are under threat from urbanization. Many families are giving up the ancient practice to rent out or sell their land for more profitable uses such as soccer fields and tourism. “If you do well in farming, you could earn $5,000 to S10.000 a year,”
one local landowner said. “In the tourist area, you could have that within a couple of weekends.”
Some of those remaining, like Cassandra Gardu o, are banding together to promote the traditional use of the chinampas. When her grandfather died in 2010 and her uncles didn’t want to carry on, Gardu o took it upon herself to learn farming. She bought land from a friend’s uncle in 2020 and grew kinds of produce, including sunflowers and eggplants. Now 32-year-old Gardu o is one member of the growing organization called Chinampo Refuge, and she and other members encourage local people to protect their land. They follow ancient growing techniques but are trying new commercial approaches to compete with cheaper produce grown on massive farms elsewhere in Mexico. That includes a special label-Etiqueta Chinampera, which tells buyers the produce came from a chinampa.
Luis Zambrano, an ecologist who has worked in Xochimilco for decades, says fed and watered by the lake, the fields can produce three to five crops of vegetables a year without the need for chemicals. But now, on weekends, it’s common to see more soccer players boating to islands than farmers tending their crops. Over the past two to three years, there has been a massive increase in the number of soccer fields on the islands. “It doesn’t look that harmful because there’s no construction,” says Zambrano. “But it’s just as damaging because of the amount of chemicals that are used, and the amount of pollution that is generated.”
What can we learn from paragraph 2
The chinampas have benefited from urbanization.
Many farmers are using new farming technology.
Farming affects the environment in Mexico badly.
Farming is less profitable than tourism in Xochimilco.
What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Garduno
Her relationship with her family.
The trouble she had in buying land.
Her efforts to protect agricultural land.
The challenges she met when learning farming.
What is the purpose of using Etiqueta Chinampera
To show the date of production.
To indicate the food origin.
To tell the price of the food.
To explain the cooking method.
What is Zambrano’s attitude to building soccer fields on chinampas
Positive. B．Unconcerned. C．Disapproving. D．Unclear.
第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays more and more young athletes are taking part in the risky, adventurous activities called “extreme sports” or “X-sports”. Its philosophy is to get as close to the edge as possible.
In the past young athletes would play hockey or baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement — the closer to the edge, the better. 36 They windsurf near hurricane, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungee-jump from towers.
37 A city kid who couldn’t afford expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There is even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-game, which includes snow mountain biking and climbing.
It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboard attached to their feet.
“People love the excitement,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. “City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt.” An athlete adds, “Sure there’s a risk, but that’s part of the appeal.”
Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend, groups of friends in their early 30s get together. On weekdays, they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes and ride down steep mountains together.
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV.

A．An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island.
B．What makes extreme sports so popular
C．Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports such as golf.
D．What are the risks in Extreme sports
E．But it has been a fact that extreme sports are gaining popularity.
F．They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. G．Extreme sports bring us both excitement and risks.

Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her.
On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favourite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door.

explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “I just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.”

Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school ” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mom ” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker.

【答案】24．B 25．D 26．D 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从汽车换到电动自行车后的积极体验，强调了这种转变不仅环保，还能带来快乐和健康益处。
推理判断题。根据第一段中“I sold one of my cars and switched to an e-bike one year ago. I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved for the deeply committed and adventurous, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. However, I live in
Colorado; e-bike would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun. (一年前，我卖掉了一辆汽车，换上了一辆电动自行车。我知道我在为地球做些好事。但我仍然认为，放弃我的汽车是那些献身精神和冒险精神的人的事情，是绿色和平组织的志愿者为了让世界变得更美好而做的事情。然而，我住在科罗拉多州；骑电动自行车意味着冬天挨冻，夏
天大汗淋漓。我想，这样做是对的，但这不会很有趣)”可知，科罗拉多州的气候不适合骑电动自行车，会让
人受累。由此可知，作者原本认为放弃他的汽车是一个艰难的选择。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I wear gloves, warm socks and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almost never too cold. (我骑车时戴手套，穿暖和的袜子和滑雪服，所以我几乎从不觉得太冷)”、第三段中“Though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-bike solved my problem.
(虽然我和许多想骑自行车的人一样，担心在炎热的月份上班时汗流浃背，但电动自行车解决了我的问题)”和第四段中“But biking to work wasn’t just not unpleasant — it was entirely enjoyable. (但是骑自行车上班不仅 没有不愉快，而且完全是一种享受)”可知，作者原本担心的受冻、流汗的问题几乎不存在，相反，骑自行车还带来了享受。由此可知，作者对骑车上班的实际经历感到惊叹。故选 D 项。
词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. (我感觉自己与周围的自然环境更紧密地联系在一起，而不是走在被金属和玻璃包围的同一条路线上)”可推知，“这种感觉”指的是前面描述的对接触自然的喜爱。故选 D 项。
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s unrealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T.
(福特公司第一款大规模生产的汽车) replaced horses. (在一个郊区和购物中心不受控制的延伸以及不受保护的自行车道成为常态的国家，期望电动自行车像福特的 Model T 车取代马匹那样取代汽车是不现实的)”可知，当前的城市交通情况很不利于电动自行车的发展。由此推知，城市需要一个更具包容性的交通网络。故选 C 项。
C
Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive (冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’meaning for the younger generation.
A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best never used in any situation as it is “hurtful”. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.
“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don't know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive to me,”one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I've read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”
Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”
Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only
used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old”if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.
What does the thumbs-up emoji mean to Gen Z according to the text
It shows agreement. B．It is considered rude or hurtful. C．It is used to joke with older people. D．It symbolizes friendship.
Why does one woman find the thumbs-up emoji aggressive in her workplace
Because it is a formal way of communication.
Because it shows disagreement with her messages.
Because it seems dismissive and unresponsive.
Because it was used only by younger colleagues.
What can be inferred about older workers from the text
They misunderstand the younger generation's emoji preferences.
They intentionally use thumbs-up to annoy younger colleagues.
They avoid using emojis in work-related chats.
They view emojis as inappropriate in formal settings.
Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage
The Emoji Debate: Generational Differences
How Thumbs-Up Became a Global Symbol
The Rise of Emojis in Professional Chats
Why Older Workers Prefer Thumbs-Up
了 Z 世代的观点，称在任何情况下都最好不要使用它，因为它“很伤人”。)”可知，竖起大拇指的表情符号被
Z 世代被认为是粗鲁或伤人的。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容““My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read
your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”(“我的上一个工作场所有一个 WhatsApp 聊天工具，我们的团队可以在上面互相发送信息，但大多数人都只是竖起大拇指回复。我不知道为什么，但我觉得它有点咄咄逼人，”一位女士说。一位 Reddit 用户也表示，竖起大拇指实际上意味着“我已经阅读了你的信息，没有什么可补充的，我希望并祈祷……在这个群
里聊天的人也没什么可说的。”)”可以推论出，一名女性在工作场所会觉得竖起大拇指的表情符号很有攻击
性是因为她觉得这种回复显得轻蔑和无动于衷，缺乏积极参与或友好互动的感觉。故选 C 项。
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子““No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad-at me,” he added.(“办公室里和我同龄的人都不会这么做，但 X 世代（1966 年至 1980 年出生的人）总是这么做。让我调整一下，让我不再认为这意味着他们在生我的气，”他补充道。)”和第四段“Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood
and will follow.”(年长的员工似乎对这种反应感到困惑，他们说，他们在与工作相关的聊天中用大拇指表示 “我同意”或“我理解并会跟进”。)”可以推论出，年长的员工误解了年轻一代对表情符号的偏好。故选 A 项。
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是年轻人和年长一代对竖大拇指这一表情符号的不同理解。所以，用 A 项“The Emoji Debate: Generational Differences(表情符号之争：代际差异)”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选 A 项。
D
In Mexico, a chinampa is an island that was built up by the native Aztec people with mud from the bottom of a lake that surrounds their capital. One of these areas is called Xochimiloo.
Food grown on the islands in Xochimilco has fed people for hundreds of years, but the chinampas here are under threat from urbanization. Many families are giving up the ancient practice to rent out or sell their land for more profitable uses such as soccer fields and tourism. “If you do well in farming, you could earn $5,000 to S10.000 a year,” one local landowner said. “In the tourist area, you could have that within a couple of weekends.”
Some of those remaining, like Cassandra Gardu o, are banding together to promote the traditional use of the chinampas. When her grandfather died in 2010 and her uncles didn’t want to carry on, Gardu o took it upon herself
to learn farming. She bought land from a friend’s uncle in 2020 and grew kinds of produce, including sunflowers and eggplants. Now 32-year-old Gardu o is one member of the growing organization called Chinampo Refuge, and she and other members encourage local people to protect their land. They follow ancient growing techniques but are trying new commercial approaches to compete with cheaper produce grown on massive farms elsewhere in Mexico. That includes a special label-Etiqueta Chinampera, which tells buyers the produce came from a chinampa.
Luis Zambrano, an ecologist who has worked in Xochimilco for decades, says fed and watered by the lake, the fields can produce three to five crops of vegetables a year without the need for chemicals. But now, on weekends, it’s common to see more soccer players boating to islands than farmers tending their crops. Over the past two to three years, there has been a massive increase in the number of soccer fields on the islands. “It doesn’t look that harmful because there’s no construction,” says Zambrano. “But it’s just as damaging because of the amount of chemicals that are used, and the amount of pollution that is generated.”
What can we learn from paragraph 2
The chinampas have benefited from urbanization.
Many farmers are using new farming technology.
Farming affects the environment in Mexico badly.
Farming is less profitable than tourism in Xochimilco.
What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Garduno
Her relationship with her family.
The trouble she had in buying land.
Her efforts to protect agricultural land.
The challenges she met when learning farming.
What is the purpose of using Etiqueta Chinampera
To show the date of production.
To indicate the food origin.
To tell the price of the food.
To explain the cooking method.
What is Zambrano’s attitude to building soccer fields on chinampas
Positive. B．Unconcerned. C．Disapproving. D．Unclear.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了墨西哥霍奇米尔科地区的岛屿已经为当地人提供了数百年的食物。然而现在这些岛屿受到了城市化的威胁。
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““If you do well in farming, you could earn $5,000 to S10.000 a year,” one local landowner said. “In the tourist area, you could have that within a couple of weekends.”(“如果你农活干得好，一年能挣 5000 到 1 万美元，”一位当地土地所有者说道。“在旅游区，你只需几个周末就能挣到这么多。”)”可知，在霍奇米尔科地区，农耕的经济收益不如旅游业。故选 D。
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Now 32-year-old Gardu o is one member of the growing organization called Chinampo Refuge, and she and other members encourage local people to protect their land.(现在 32 岁的 Gardu o是一个不断壮大的组织“Chinampo Refuge”的成员，她和其他成员鼓励当地人保护他们的土地。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了 Gardu o 为保护农业用地所做的努力。故选 C。
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That includes a special label-Etiqueta Chinampera, which tells buyers the produce came from a chinampa.(这包括一个特殊的标签——Etiqueta Chinampera，它告诉买家这些农产品来自浮田。)”可知，Etiqueta Chinampera 是一个特殊标签，用于标明农产品的来源是浮田。故选 B。
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It doesn’t look that harmful because there’s no construction,” says Zambrano. “But it’s just as damaging because of the amount of chemicals that are used, and the amount of pollution that is generated.”(Zambrano 说：“看起来似乎没那么有害，因为没有建筑。”“但由于使用了大量的化学物质，以及产生了大量的污染，它同样具有破坏性。”)”可知，从 Zambrano 的话中可以看出，他并不赞同在浮田上建造足球场，因为尽管没有建筑活动，但使用大量化学物质和产生的污染对浮田造成了同样的
破坏。由此可推知，Zambrano 对在岛上建足球场持反对态度。故选 C。
第二节（共 5 小题, 每小题 2. 5 分, 共 12. 5 分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays more and more young athletes are taking part in the risky, adventurous activities called “extreme sports” or “X-sports”. Its philosophy is to get as close to the edge as possible.
In the past young athletes would play hockey or baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement — the closer to the edge, the better. 36 They windsurf near hurricane, go white-water rafting through rapids, and
bungee-jump from towers.
37 A city kid who couldn’t afford expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun.
But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There is even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-game, which includes snow mountain biking and climbing. 38 It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboard
attached to their feet.
39 “People love the excitement,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. “City people
want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt.” An athlete adds, “Sure there’s a risk, but that’s part of the appeal.” Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend, groups of friends in their early 30s get together. On weekdays, they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain
bikes and ride down steep mountains together.
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV. 40
A．An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island.
B．What makes extreme sports so popular
C．Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports such as golf.
D．What are the risks in Extreme sports
E．But it has been a fact that extreme sports are gaining popularity.
F．They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. G．Extreme sports bring us both excitement and risks.

空后““People love the excitement,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment.(“人们喜欢这种刺 激，”销售运动器材的 Murray Nussbaum 说。)”说明的是人们喜欢极限运动的原因，空格处应该发问，问人们为什么喜欢极限运动，B 选项“What makes extreme sports so popular (极限运动为何如此受欢迎？)”提出了人们为什么喜欢极限运动的疑问，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选 B。
空前“Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV.(极限运动当然不适合所有人。大多数人仍然喜欢打篮球或看电视上的体育节目。)”说明极限运动不是适合所有人，空格处应该总结全文，对极限运动的总体情况进行描述，E 选项“But it has been a fact that extreme sports are gaining popularity.(但事实是，极限运动越来越受欢迎。)”说明了极限运动越来越受欢迎这一事实，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选 E。

Callie was a high school student. Because of her parents’ business, her family moved from London to Los Angeles, where she grew up.
Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her.
On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favourite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door.
“I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “and do you know the empty lot (场地) down the street ” Callie
nodded, smiling. “The place is a mess, covered with trash. The city is letting us use the lot as a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “I just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.”
At school the next morning, Callie’s close friend Tamara was waiting for her by their classroom, who had a surprise for her. Tamara said, “My mom bought tickets to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the amusement park to reopen.
Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school ” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should
I do, Mom ” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choice, and you need to make your own decision. But I know you will do what is best,” her mother answered.

My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people you’re telling the truth are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn.
I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.
Business clients are always in need of my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about
body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like minor matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal.
My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.
What is the purpose of mentioning the author’s professor in the first paragraph
To show how humorous his professor was.
To introduce what the concept of “Pinocchio” is.
To describe how interesting his university life was.
To explain what encouraged him to pick his career.

Why do people act in an unusual way after knowing the author’s occupation A．They believe he is studying them. B．They consider him aggressive. C．They don’t like his service. D．They are rooted in shock.
What does the author think of his job
Stable but difficult. B．Flexible but demanding. C．Fulfilling but challenging. D．Innovative but fast-paced.

One year ago, in an art competition at the Colorado State Fair in the United States, an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence (AI) called “Thé treD’opéra Spatial” won the first prize in the digital art category and sparked discussions online. Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel.
The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. When he shared his victory online, he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney — an AI program that turns text into images — to help create his piece, titled “Th é tre D’opéra Spatial”.
Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules.
His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements. At this year’s fair, which took place in Pueblo between August 26 and September 4, artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created using an Artificial Intelligence Generator,” according to this year’s requirements.
Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement, telling the Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks. Despite the change, he decided to submit once again to the digital arts category.
The fair’s leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances. As ScottStoller, the fair’s general manager, tells the Denver Post, the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades. In the future, officials may even decide to add a separate AI category, depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become.
“That’s the beauty of art — that it’s always evolving,” says Stoller. “Art can be anything, and anything can be made into art.”
What can be learnt about Jason Allen
He developed an AI program.
He revised the rules of an arts contest.
He won first place in an art competition.
He was the leader of the Colorado State Fair.
What does the underlined word “tweak” in paragraph 4 mean
Select. B．Revise. C．Continue. D．Create.
What can be inferred from the text
Allen broke the art competition rules.
Some people thought Allen deserved the victory.
Artists can’t use AI to make their entries.
Th é tre D’opéra Spatial was completely created by AI.
What’s Stoller’s attitude towards the AI artworks
Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Unconcerned.
D
A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.
Nigel Raine, a professor in the school of environmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead author, expressed his astonishment at the results. To further explore this phenomenon, Raine and his team conducted an experiment involving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discovered that those placed underwater for up to seven days had similar survival rates to those not, indicating that the bees’ ability to survive such conditions may be more
common than previously thought.
The research underlines the strength of bumblebees during their hibernation period. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplored. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alone in small holes during the cold months, which are believed to protect them from flooding. However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.
Given these findings, one possible explanation for their survival is diapause, a state of suspended growth and reproduction characterized by reduced oxygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may close their spiracles (气孔) to prevent water from entering their bodies, and they might also breathe through their skin. This energy-saving mode is likely a key factor in their ability to survive beneath the water.
Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.
What do we know about the finding
It matched prior beliefs. B．It concerned sea insects.
C．It was fully anticipated. D．It was made by accident.
What can be inferred about bumblebees from paragraph 3
They hibernate in groups for protection. B．They are always protected from flooding.
C．They have a hidden adaptation mechanism. D．They reproduce better in flooded conditions.
What may Nigel Raine do in the future
Secure research patents. B．Prioritize dietary security. C．Conduct further research. D．Raise ecological awareness.
Which is the most suitable title for the text
Bumblebee Reproductive Habits B．Bumblebee Hibernation Patterns C．Scientists’ Experimental Methods D．Bumblebee Survival Underwater

Tidying your desk, watering your plants or folding laundry — these household chores are hardly the height of hedonism (享乐主义). 36 . Psychologists suggest there are many potential mechanisms that might explain the perfect pleasure of puttering (慢条斯理地做) . They may well encourage you to engage in it more often.
Pleasant distractions
On the surface level, puttering may be useful because it occupies the mind, so that we give fewer resources to the
things that are worrying us. For instance, we may find household tasks can help us focus on the present moment. People completing these small tasks often report a significantly better mood. 37 , as if the immersion (沉浸) in the simple activity had refreshed their minds.
38
Unlike other distracting activities — such as playing computer games or watching trashy TV — puttering also has the advantage of being positive and useful, increasing our “perceived control”. When we feel anxious, a sense of helplessness can heighten the physiological stress response, increasing levels of hormones. Ideally, we would deal directly with the upsetting situation itself. But research suggests we can gain a perception of control from activities that may have little effect on the situation that’s bothering us.
Tidy room, focused mind
39 . If your puttering takes the form of organizing and decluttering (清理), you may find that the tidier environment is itself a form of comfort. To summarize, if we see order outside, it helps us to feel a bit less chaotic inside. 40 .
A．Being powerful
B．A feeling of control
The benefits do not end there
We will feel great anxiety in our mind
This included reduced nervousness and even a sense of “inspiration”
It is comforting because it makes life easier to manage and more predictable
Yet we often find ourselves seeking pleasure and comfort in small repetitive tasks

Three days later, a beautiful stairway came into being. The 48 of knowing that my 49 will
be on that mountainside for years to come is massive.
But on the last night we were 50 in a thunderstorm. I woke up at midnight to find a swimming pool in my tent. The temperature was close to 51 . I had to spend the rest of the night trembling in the only

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。
42-year-old Christine Dawn King has worked at a pet hospital for 10 years. She is a pet doctor and loves working with pets. As she is warm-hearted and professional, pet owners living in the neighbourhood also love to ask her to treat their pets.
One Thursday morning, Christine was hurrying to her job. The traffic on the road was thick — no surprise for this stretch of highway. She pulled into the exit lane(车道), where cars were moving at a slow speed.
That was when Christine noticed a woman standing near cars with a dog beside her. Christine saw the cause of
the traffic jam: The small dog had somehow gotten out of the car and was now stuck in the metal fences(栅栏)in the middle of the highway. The little dog was obviously frightened in the small space, unable to break free. Despite his owner’s best efforts, he was still struggling.
The woman caught the dog’s collar( 项圈)but couldn’t move him. Her hands were shaking, and her face was covered with sweat. She was obviously very panicked, not knowing what to do. Some drivers impatiently honked their horns(摁喇叭). Others were too focused on their own schedules to offer assistance. Christine could see the anxiety on the woman’s face as she looked around.
Without hesitation, Christine opened the car door. She quickly walked towards the dog. “Let me see if I can help,” Christine said to the woman. The woman was a little hesitant but still walked aside to allow the stranger to have a try. Christine carefully checked on the situation. She found that the dog was scared, but not injured. She spoke gently to the dog, trying to calm him down. Next, she took out a tool carried with her car and tried her best to widen the gap between the fences. The dog seemed to realize that Christine was here to help him, not struggling anymore.
In no time, the gap between the fences became larger. There was enough space to move the dog. Christine gently lifted him out, taking great care not to hurt him.
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。
The woman stepped forward and carefully held her dog.
Christine arrived at her office, expecting to see the woman again.

【答案】21．D 22．B 23．B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章是一则助听器的广告，主要介绍了这种助听器的优点和价格等信息。
细节理解题。根据第一段“Hearing loss is isolating and makes you feel invisible. To understand again is a miracle.(听力损失是孤立的，让你觉得自己被忽视了。重新理解是一个奇迹)”以及第三段“You get impressive sound quality, better hearing, and improved understanding.(你会得到令人印象深刻的音质，更好的听力和更好的理解)”可知，这款装置的功能是帮助用户更好地沟通。故选 D。
细节理解题。文章明确描述了产品的技术特点：Ranger-7600 具备“Technology to reduce unwanted noise while increasing soft sounds”（技术减少不需要的噪音，同时增强柔和的声音）和“Fingertip volume control”
（指尖音量控制），这些技术支持简单的声音调节，从而改善音质和听力体验。选项 B“声音调节通过其技术变得容易”直接对应这些特征。其他选项虽然部分正确，但不是产品功能的核心特点：选项 A“它可以 用作日常使用的智能手机”错误，文章提到“Includes a telephone setting”（包括电话设置），但这只是助听器的辅助功能，并非智能手机；选项 C“可以直接从制造商购买”是购买方式（文章提到“You buy direct from Hearing Help Express”），并非产品内在功能；选项 D“免费专业支持通过多种渠道可获得”是售后服务（文章提到“FREE support from licensed professionals (via phone, email and chat)”），属于公司服务而非设备功能。

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作为研究肢体语言的专家，作者论述了肢体语言的重要性，并提到这份特别的工作对自己的影响。
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication.(我对肢体语言的好奇始于我大学里的一位教授。在一个清爽的早晨，他
开玩笑地指出，每当我为他上课迟到编借口时，我就会蹭鼻子。他用“匹诺曹”这个扣人心弦的概念吸引了我。
事实上，当一个人说谎时，血液会涌到鼻子上，多余的血液会让鼻子发痒。这个非语言交流的小例子激励我成为一名肢体语言专家。现在，我通过培训人们的非语言沟通来谋生)”可知，作者大学时的一位教授从作者的肢体语言中发现了他在撒谎，这激起了作者研究肢体语言的兴趣。由此推知，作者提到教授是为了解释什么鼓励他选择自己的职业。故选 D。
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.(所有这些都说明了很多，只有你知道如何理解这些符号，你才能理解它们)”及本段介绍了一些体态语表示的内容可知，理解肢体语言需要特定的技能。故选 B。
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading.(每当我遇到一个新朋友，我告诉他们我是做什么的，他们就会立刻提高
C
One year ago, in an art competition at the Colorado State Fair in the United States, an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence (AI) called “Thé treD’opéra Spatial” won the first prize in the digital art category and sparked discussions online. Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel.
The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital
arts competition. When he shared his victory online, he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney — an AI program that turns text into images — to help create his piece, titled “Th é tre D’opéra Spatial”.
Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules.
His victory was controversial ( 有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the
submission requirements. At this year’s fair, which took place in Pueblo between August 26 and September 4, artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created using an Artificial Intelligence Generator,” according to this year’s requirements.
Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement, telling the Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks. Despite the change, he decided to submit once again to the digital arts category.
The fair’s leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances. As ScottStoller, the fair’s general manager, tells the Denver Post, the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades. In the future, officials may even decide to add a separate AI category, depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become.
“That’s the beauty of art — that it’s always evolving,” says Stoller. “Art can be anything, and anything can be made into art.”
What can be learnt about Jason Allen
He developed an AI program.
He revised the rules of an arts contest.
He won first place in an art competition.
He was the leader of the Colorado State Fair.
What does the underlined word “tweak” in paragraph 4 mean
Select. B．Revise. C．Continue. D．Create.
What can be inferred from the text
Allen broke the art competition rules.
Some people thought Allen deserved the victory.
Artists can’t use AI to make their entries.
Th é tre D’opéra Spatial was completely created by AI.
What’s Stoller’s attitude towards the AI artworks
Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Unconcerned.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．B 31．C
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一年前，在美国科罗拉多州博览会的一项艺术竞赛中，一件由人工智能（AI）帮助创作的作品获得了数字艺术类别的一等奖，并在网上引发了讨论。
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. (这个故事始于去年 8 月，当时游戏设计师杰森·艾伦赢得了博览会数字艺术竞赛的冠军)”可知，他在艺术比赛中获得第一名。故选 C 项。
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel. (据《丹佛邮报》的约翰·温泽尔报道，现在，这个有着 151 年历史的博览会的官员修改了比赛规则：艺术家必须声明他们是否使用了人工智能来制作作品)”以及第四段中划线词前文“His victory was controversial (有争议的) (他的胜利 引起了争议)”可知，他的成功引起了争议，因此，官员们决定修改提交作品的要求，从而推知划线词意思是 “修改”。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据第三段“Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules. (艾伦坚持表示，他从一开始就公开使用人工智能，尽管评委们说他们直到事情发生后才得知。无论如何，当时并没有相关规定要求声明，这意味着艾伦并未违反任何规则)”及第四段中“His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements.

A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating ( 冬眠的)
queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.
Nigel Raine, a professor in the school of environmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead author, expressed his astonishment at the results. To further explore this phenomenon, Raine and his team conducted an experiment involving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discovered that those placed underwater for up to seven days had similar survival rates to those not, indicating that the bees’ ability to survive such conditions may be more common than previously thought.
The research underlines the strength of bumblebees during their hibernation period. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplored. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alone in small holes during the cold months, which are believed to protect them from flooding. However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.
Given these findings, one possible explanation for their survival is diapause, a state of suspended growth and reproduction characterized by reduced oxygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may close their spiracles (气孔) to prevent water from entering their bodies, and they might also breathe through their skin. This energy-saving mode is likely a key factor in their ability to survive beneath the water.
Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.
What do we know about the finding
It matched prior beliefs. B．It concerned sea insects.
C．It was fully anticipated. D．It was made by accident.
What can be inferred about bumblebees from paragraph 3
They hibernate in groups for protection. B．They are always protected from flooding. C．They have a hidden adaptation mechanism. D．They reproduce better in flooded conditions.
What may Nigel Raine do in the future
Secure research patents. B．Prioritize dietary security. C．Conduct further research. D．Raise ecological awareness.
Which is the most suitable title for the text
Bumblebee Reproductive Habits B．Bumblebee Hibernation Patterns C．Scientists’ Experimental Methods D．Bumblebee Survival Underwater
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．C 35．D
【导语】本文是说明文。一项研究发现，东部大黄蜂可以在水下生存长达一周，这种适应能力在以往未被发现。研究表明。大黄蜂在冬眠期间可能通过关闭气孔和减缓新陈代谢来实现这一生存技巧，这一发现对研究野生昆虫的生存机制具有重要意义。
细节理解题。根据第一段“This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.(这一发现发表在《生物学快报》杂志上，是由于一个实验错误造成的，当时研究人员将冬眠的大黄蜂皇后放在水中，几天后发现它们还活着。这一发现给科学家们留下了
深刻印象。特别是因为大黄蜂是陆生生物，通常与水环境无关)”可知，研究人员在一次实验错误中发现冬眠
中的大黄蜂能够在水下生存数天。这说明这个发现是偶然的，而非预先计划的。故选 D 项。
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.(然而，这项研究揭示了这些蜜蜂具有意想不到的适应性，使它们即使在洪水条件下也能生存)”可知，研究发现大黄蜂在水下能够生存，这表明它们其备一种未被发现的适应机制，这一机制帮助它们在洪水等极端条件下生存。故选 C 项。
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can
survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.(Raine 强调了理解这些 机制的重要性，因为它可能对帮助植物繁殖的野生昆虫的研究具有重要意义，这对粮食安全和生态系统健康至关重要。他的团队的研究将旨在确定冬眠的蜂王是否可以在水下存活更长的时间，以及其他蜜蜂物种是否存在类似的力量)”可知，Nigel Raine 强调了理解蜜蜂在水下存活机制的重要性，所以他将继续进行研究。故选 C 项。
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week.
This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.(加拿大圭尔夫大学最近的一项研究揭示了一个关于普通东部大黄蜂的惊人发现:这些昆虫可以在水下存活长达一周。这一发现发表在《生物学快报》杂志上，是由于一个实验错误造成的，当时研究人员将冬眠的大黄蜂皇后放在水中，几天后发现它们还活着。这一发现给科学家们留下了深刻印象。特别是因为大黄蜂是陆生生物，通常与水环境无关)”以及通读全文可知，文章的主要内容集中在大黄蜂在水下生存的发现及其意义，因此 D 项“Bumblebee Survival Underwater(大黄蜂在水下生存)”是最合适的标题。故选 D
项。
第二节（共 5 小题, 每小题 2. 5 分, 共 12. 5 分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Tidying your desk, watering your plants or folding laundry — these household chores are hardly the height of hedonism (享乐主义). 36 . Psychologists suggest there are many potential mechanisms that might
explain the perfect pleasure of puttering (慢条斯理地做) . They may well encourage you to engage in it more often.
Pleasant distractions
On the surface level, puttering may be useful because it occupies the mind, so that we give fewer resources to the things that are worrying us. For instance, we may find household tasks can help us focus on the present moment. People completing these small tasks often report a significantly better mood. 37 , as if the
immersion (沉浸) in the simple activity had refreshed their minds.
38
Unlike other distracting activities — such as playing computer games or watching trashy TV — puttering also has the advantage of being positive and useful, increasing our “perceived control”. When we feel anxious, a sense of helplessness can heighten the physiological stress response, increasing levels of hormones. Ideally, we
would deal directly with the upsetting situation itself. But research suggests we can gain a perception of control from activities that may have little effect on the situation that’s bothering us.
Tidy room, focused mind
39 . If your puttering takes the form of organizing and decluttering (清理), you may find that the
tidier environment is itself a form of comfort. To summarize, if we see order outside, it helps us to feel a bit less chaotic inside. 40 .
A．Being powerful
B．A feeling of control
C．The benefits do not end there
D．We will feel great anxiety in our mind
E．This included reduced nervousness and even a sense of “inspiration”
F．It is comforting because it makes life easier to manage and more predictable
G．Yet we often find ourselves seeking pleasure and comfort in small repetitive tasks
【答案】36．G 37．E 38．B 39．C 40．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家务活等简单重复任务如何通过提供心理上的慰藉、增强控制感和整理环境来改善人的心情和减轻压力。
上文“Tidying your desk, watering your plants or folding laundry — these household chores are hardly the height of hedonism (享乐主义).(整理办公桌、浇花或叠衣服——这些家务活并不是享乐主义的最高境界)”说明家务活并不是典型的享乐行为。空处和前文形成转折关系，并且引出下文。G 项中的 yet 为转折连词， “seeking pleasure and comfort in small repetitive tasks”和下文“might explain the perfect pleasure of puttering (慢条斯理地做)”相呼应，说明尽管家务活并不是享乐主义的最高境界，但是人们还是会在这些琐碎的任务中找到乐趣。所以 G 项“然而，我们经常发现自己在重复的小任务中寻求快乐和安慰”符合语境。故选 G。
上文“People completing these small tasks often report a significantly better mood.(完成这些小任务的人通常会报告心情明显好转)”以及下文“as if the immersion (沉浸) in the simple activity had refreshed their minds.(仿 佛沉浸在简单的活动中让他们精神焕发)”说明完成家务小任务会让人心情明显好转。空处进一步说明心情变好的具体表现。E 项中的“reduced nervousness and even a sense of “inspiration””和上文中的“a significantly better mood”相呼应，也和下文的“refreshed their minds”相呼应，所以 E 项“这包括减少了紧张感，甚至有一种“灵感”的感觉”符合语境。故选 E。
下文“Unlike other distracting activities — such as playing computer games or watching trashy TV— puttering
also has the advantage of being positive and useful, increasing our “perceived control”.(不像其他分散注意力的活动——比如玩电脑游戏或看低质量的电视节目——慢条斯理地做事情也有其积极和有用的一面，能增加我们的“感知控制力”)”以及“But research suggests we can gain a perception of control from activities that may have little effect on the situation that’s bothering us.(但研究表明，我们可以从对困扰我们的情况影响不大的活动中获得控制感)”说明与其他分散注意力的活动相比，慢条斯理地做事还具有积极和有用的优势，可以增加我们的“感知控制”。所以 B 项“控制的感觉”适合作本段的主旨句。故选 B。
标题“Tidy room, focused mind(整洁的房间，专注的思维)”以及下文“If your puttering takes the form of organizing and decluttering (清理), you may find that the tidier environment is itself a form of comfort.(如果你的 慢条斯理表现为整理和去杂乱，你可能会发现，整洁的环境本身就是一种安慰)”说明整洁的环境能让人专注，而且如果你的慢条斯理表现为整理和去杂乱，整洁的环境本身就是一种安慰。所以空处承上启下，既总结了标题提到的好处，也引出下文中其它的好处。所以 C 项“好处不仅仅于此”符合语境。故选 C。
上文“To summarize, if we see order outside, it helps us to feel a bit less chaotic inside.(总结来说，如果我们看到外界是有序的，这会帮助我们感觉到内心不那么混乱)”说明整洁的外部环境能带来内心的平静。空处顺接前文，进一步说明整洁的外部环境带来的好处。F 项“这让人感到安慰，因为它使生活更容易管理且更具可预测性”符合语境，it 指代前文中提到的“order outside”。故选 F。

第二节（满分 25 分）
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。
42-year-old Christine Dawn King has worked at a pet hospital for 10 years. She is a pet doctor and loves working with pets. As she is warm-hearted and professional, pet owners living in the neighbourhood also love to ask her to treat their pets.
One Thursday morning, Christine was hurrying to her job. The traffic on the road was thick — no surprise for this stretch of highway. She pulled into the exit lane(车道), where cars were moving at a slow speed.
That was when Christine noticed a woman standing near cars with a dog beside her. Christine saw the cause
of the traffic jam: The small dog had somehow gotten out of the car and was now stuck in the metal fences(栅栏)in the middle of the highway. The little dog was obviously frightened in the small space, unable to break free. Despite his owner’s best efforts, he was still struggling.
The woman caught the dog’s collar(项圈)but couldn’t move him. Her hands were shaking, and her face was covered with sweat. She was obviously very panicked, not knowing what to do. Some drivers impatiently honked their horns(摁喇叭). Others were too focused on their own schedules to offer assistance. Christine could see the anxiety on the woman’s face as she looked around.
Without hesitation, Christine opened the car door. She quickly walked towards the dog. “Let me see if I can help,” Christine said to the woman. The woman was a little hesitant but still walked aside to allow the stranger to have a try. Christine carefully checked on the situation. She found that the dog was scared, but not injured. She spoke gently to the dog, trying to calm him down. Next, she took out a tool carried with her car and tried her best to widen the gap between the fences. The dog seemed to realize that Christine was here to help him, not struggling anymore.
In no time, the gap between the fences became larger. There was enough space to move the dog. Christine gently lifted him out, taking great care not to hurt him.
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。
The woman stepped forward and carefully held her dog.
Christine arrived at her office, expecting to see the woman again.
【答案】One possible version:
The woman stepped forward and carefully held her dog. She thanked Christine heartily for what she had done, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She said that without Christine’s generous help, everything would have been much worse. Christine introduced herself, and gave the woman her business card, saying she could take the dog to her pet hospital for a checkup if she still felt worried. The woman took the card and walked to her car. After the woman’s car moved away, the traffic quickly returned to normal.
Christine arrived at her office, expecting to see the woman again. In the afternoon, she saw the woman walking into the hospital with the dog and a bouquet of flowers as her gift.

*Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140℉m
food poisoning organisms may surviv
Bacteria are the one of the main food prisoners. So, to get food on the table safely, you need to know and follow the rules for food care.
KEEP FOOD HOT
High food temperatures (165℉to 212℉) reached in boiling, baking, frying, and roasting kill most food poisoning bacteria. If you want to delay serving cooked food, though, you have to keep it at a holding temperature — roughly 140℉to 165℉. Steam tables and chafing dishes are designed to maintain holding temperatures. But they don’t always keep food hot enough. So it’s not wise to leave hot food out more than 2 hours.
When cooked food is left out unheated, the possibility of bacterial growth is greater, since the food quickly drops to room temperature where food poisoners multiply.
To serve hot foods safely — particularly meat and poultry, which are highly affected by food poisoning — follow these rules:
Cook thoroughly — Cook meat and poultry to the “doneness” temperatures given in the above chart. To make sure that meat and poultry are cooked all the way through, use a meat thermometer (温度计). Insert the tip into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding fat or bone. ● Don’t interrupt cooking — Cook meat and poultry completely at one time. Partial cooking may encourage bacterial growth before cooking is complete.
Cooking frozen food — Allow frozen food more time to cook — generally 1.5 times the period required for food that has been thawed (解冻).
At what temperature do bacteria grow the fastest
0℃～60℃. B．60℉～125℉. C．40℃～140℃. D．125℉～140℉.
What is suggested ton keep food safe
hot food should not be left out over two hours
frozen food should be thawed with a microwave oven
raw ham should be cooked to the “doneness” temperature at 71℉
steam tables and chafing dishes should be used to keep food hot enough
What can be learned according to the guideline
The only way to ensure food safety is to keep it hot enough. B．High food temperatures above 74℃destroy most poisoning bacteria.
Compared with goose, ground beef should be cooked to higher temperatures.
Insert the tip of a thermometer into the thickest part of the fat to control the temperature.
B
Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese.
However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology.
Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes.
Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT.
But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls.
The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy.
What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1
The power of AI. B．The threat from humans. C．The customer requirements. D．The tips on language learning.
What advantage does Lina have over other staff
A．Winning the trust of customers. B．Responding to customers faster. C．Selling more products to customers. D．Having a great relationship with Shah.
What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021
Take on other duties. B．Leave their company.
C．Move to HongKong. D．Develop latest chatbots.
What is the best title for the text
How Will AI Change Our Lives B．How Should We Use AI Effectively
C．Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs D．What Is the Future of Traditional Companies

Our mood brightens as nature wakes up from winter, with blooming trees coloring the scenery in soft, pretty colors. Near my house is Kairaku Park, one of the biggest gardens in Japan, famous for its vast collection of almost 10,000 plum trees. I find myself in the enviable position of having them all outside my backyard, taking advantage of the walking paths daily.
The trees and swans are like old friends to me now, a familiar sight with each visit. However, on one particular day, the routine was broken by a charming novelty. At the water’s edge of the small lake, I was greeted by the sight of newly hatched black swans. Their delicate beauty was heartwarming as they stayed close to their mother. While capturing the golden of the sunset on camera, I was drawn away by an unusual, persistent sound. Turning around, I discovered one little swan was stuck by two stones, struggling to free itself. The mother swan’s efforts to liberate her were in vain.
Approaching with the intention to help, I found the mother’s protective instincts in full force. She was fiercely guarding her young, preventing any approach. I sought assistance from an elderly gentleman sitting on a nearby bench, “Excuse me, the swan baby seems trapped and unable to move. I wish to lend a hand, but the mother is quite territorial.
Would you be so kind as to assist me ”
The man’s face broke into a warm smile before he agreed to help me. With considerable effort, he managed to distract the mother, braving her aggressive behavior multiple times. Thanks to his courageous attempts, I was able to edge closer and successfully push the little swan out of the gap. I held my breath, hoping that it was not injured, but relief washed over me as I saw it swim away, alive.
In spring, my body seems to come alive with renewed energy. It’s nature, not material possessions, that shapes us. I am positive that each of us has a slice of nature nestled in our own neighborhoods. There, we are reminded of why natural life is so important-it supports us as we grow alongside it. Personally, I take simple joy in the sight of baby birds, which brings a smile to my face! I strive for a minimalist lifestyle, seeking fulfillment in the basic harmony of living in tune with Nature.
What is special about the Kairakuen Park
It has many trees and swans B．It is the largest park in Japan.
C．It is located very close to the author’s house. D．It is famous for its large number of plum trees.
Why couldn’t the author get close to the stuck swan at first
Because the mother swan was angry and protective.
Because the stuck swan was too far away from the author.
Because the author was afraid of hurting the mother swan.
Because the old man sitting on the bench stopped the author.
How did the author feel after rescuing the stuck swan
A．Excited and proud. B．Relieved and hopeful.
C．Frustrated and helpless. D．Angry and disappointed.
It can be inferred from the text that the author .
is really a nature lover B．is short of some life skill
C．asks people to help the weak D．calls on more people to protect the environment
D
Insects cause billions of dollars of damage to crops every year, driving farmers to apply pesticides on an industrial scale, at huge expense and often with unwelcome ecological side effects. They take this, carpet-bombing approach because they lack information about where and when it is best to hit pests, and nobody wants to use too little pesticide and thus risk losing crops. Technologists at FarmSense, a firm in Riverside, California, hope to change that.
The established approach to detecting insect pests, moths in particular, is to employ pheromone-baited (以外外激素为诱饵的) sticky traps. Pheromones are chemicals which animals use to communicate — and especially to attract members of the opposite sex. An appropriately baited sticky trap gives a fair idea of the number and type of pests around, but not with sufficient detail for the accurate application of pest control measures. FarmSense’s researchers believe they can do better.
The company’s device, FlightSensor, has been in full-scale tests on farms since 2020 and is about to be made generally available. It does, not trap insects. Rather, it detects them with a laser as they fly by. The developers’ finding was that the shadows of passing wings produce the same signal as the sound of the wing beats recorded by a microphone.
For the first group of targets the results are impressive. Navel orangeworm moths, in particular, are a common pest of almond and pistachio trees both important to Californian agriculture. FlightSensor can identify them accurately more than 99% of the time. And the device is still improving its capability, and adding new species as it gets more data. Sometimes it can distinguish insects which, to a human eye, look identical.
Farmsense’s approach works, better than microphones for recording, wing beats because the insects under investigation are quiet and the sound they send out is thus easily lost in background noise. They are easily detectable by laser, though. And while sticky traps are at least a solution for large moths, the FarmSense sensor picks up extremely small moths. From farm to lab, then, identifying insects with FlightSensot may soon be all the rage on farms.
What is the problem with the carpet bombing approach
It has very little effect. B．It takes too much time.
C．It’s weather dependent. D．It’s costly and damaging.
How does FlightSensor work
It uses light for insect analysis. B．It detects chemicals from insects. C．It works by recording wing beats. D．It traps insects by giving out sound.
What can we say about navel orangeworm moths
They are hardly under control at present. B．They are a threat to Californian agriculture. C．They are clever enough to avoid FlightSensor. D．They are a new species discovered in California.
What does the underlined part “all the rage” in the last paragraph mean
Well protected. B．Quickly removed.
C．Widely adopted. D．Closely checked.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, the importance of critical thinking cannot be overstated. 36 It not only helps students analyze information and solve problems but also prepares them for the complexities of the future workplace. This essay will discuss the necessity of critical thinking in modern education and its various benefits.
Critical thinking fosters (促进) intellectual curiosity and a love for learning. When students are encouraged to question and analyze, they develop a deeper understanding of the subjects they study. 37 This leads to a more engaged and motivated learning experience.
Critical thinking skills are essential for making informed decisions. In an age where information is readily
available but often unreliable, the ability to evaluate sources and discern (辨别) facts from fiction is crucial. Students must learn to evaluate information critically and make informed decisions based on that evaluation. 38
When students are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and think outside the box, they come up with novel solutions to complex problems. This ability to think critically and independently is what sets humans apart from other animals and machines. This fosters an environment of creativity and innovation, which is vital for progress and development in any field.
In conclusion, the inclusion of critical thinking in modern education is not just a nice addition but a necessity.
It prepares students for the challenges of the future and equips them with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly complex world.
Critical thinking promotes creativity and innovation.
People hold different views on almost everything because of this.
As a result, students will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of life. D．Without these skills, students may fall prey to misinformation and make poor choices. E．Therefore, integrating critical thinking into educational curricula is extremely important.
F．This encourages them to explore new ideas and concepts, expanding their knowledge base.
G．Critical thinking is the ability to analyze and reason about information in a logical and objective manner.

It was a Saturday afternoon. I was having lunch when Dad told me to get ready. I became unhappy. I don’t like Saturdays! Even though it’s a holiday for most children, it is not for me because I need to go to football club.
Many kids love sports, but I am not one of them. I prefer to stay at home and read. I don’t like running, so in a team I am a bad player. The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I’m useless.
I have no idea how to play football. Usually, after practice my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod.
Last Thursday, the coach told us that we would be competing with another team in a month and many people would come to see the game. Our opponents (对手) were the winner last year and I froze and thought how awkward it would be if the team lost because of me.
So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day.
After one month, when the game day came, my teammates were unwilling to take me in the team, and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well. But they happened to be short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team.
Our team was the Big Blues. There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field. I got very nervous. The game started and within two minutes, I got a blue card. By the time I was allowed back, the score was two goals for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team.

— roughly 140℉to 165℉. Steam tables and chafing dishes are designed to maintain holding temperatures. But they don’t always keep food hot enough. So it’s not wise to leave hot food out more than 2 hours.
When cooked food is left out unheated, the possibility of bacterial growth is greater, since the food quickly drops to room temperature where food poisoners multiply.
To serve hot foods safely — particularly meat and poultry, which are highly affected by food poisoning — follow these rules:
Cook thoroughly — Cook meat and poultry to the “doneness” temperatures given in the above chart. To make sure that meat and poultry are cooked all the way through, use a meat thermometer (温度计). Insert the tip into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding fat or bone. ● Don’t interrupt cooking — Cook meat and poultry completely at one time. Partial cooking may encourage bacterial growth before cooking is complete.
Cooking frozen food — Allow frozen food more time to cook — generally 1.5 times the period required for food that has been thawed (解冻).
At what temperature do bacteria grow the fastest
A．40℃～60℃. B．60℉～125℉.
C．40℃～140℃. D．125℉～140℉.
What is suggested ton keep food safe
hot food should not be left out over two hours
frozen food should be thawed with a microwave oven
raw ham should be cooked to the “doneness” temperature at 71℉
steam tables and chafing dishes should be used to keep food hot enough
What can be learned according to the guideline
The only way to ensure food safety is to keep it hot enough. B．High food temperatures above 74℃destroy most poisoning bacteria.
Compared with goose, ground beef should be cooked to higher temperatures.
Insert the tip of a thermometer into the thickest part of the fat to control the temperature.
B
Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese.
However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology. Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two
hours to just over three minutes.
Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT.
But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls.
The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy.
What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1
The power of AI. B．The threat from humans.
C．The customer requirements. D．The tips on language learning.
What advantage does Lina have over other staff
A．Winning the trust of customers. B．Responding to customers faster. C．Selling more products to customers. D．Having a great relationship with Shah.
What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021
Take on other duties. B．Leave their company.
C．Move to HongKong. D．Develop latest chatbots.

【答案】24．A 25．B 26．A 27．C
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要通过实例介绍了人工智能可能不会抢走人类的很多工作。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. (Alorica 是一家位于加利福尼亚州尔湾的公司，在世界各地设有客户服务中心，该公司推出了一种人工智能（AI）翻译工具，可以让员工与说 200 种不同语言和 75 种方言的客户交谈)”可知，这种人工智能翻译工具有强大的力量，可以让员工与说 200 种不同语言
和 75 种方言的客户交谈，并列举了下文与香港客户交谈的例子。由此推知，作者想通过第一段中的例子告
诉我们人工智能的力量。故选 A 项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. (以印度商人苏米特·沙阿为例，他去年表示，他已经用一个名为 Lina的聊天机器人取代了 90%的客户支持人员，这引起了轩然大波。沙阿的公司 Dukaan 帮助客户建立电子商务网站，此举将查询的响应时间从 1 分 44 秒缩短到“即时”)”可知，名为 Lina 的聊天机器人将查询的响应时间从 1 分 44 秒缩短到“即时”。由此可知，Lina 比其他员工有的优势是能够更快地回应客户。故选 B 项。 26．细节理解题。根据第五段关键句“Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls. (宜家没有裁员，而是对 8500 名客户服务人员进行了再培训，以处理室内设计咨询和接听复杂客户电话等任务)”可知，宜家要

Our mood brightens as nature wakes up from winter, with blooming trees coloring the scenery in soft, pretty colors. Near my house is Kairaku Park, one of the biggest gardens in Japan, famous for its vast collection of almost 10,000 plum trees. I find myself in the enviable position of having them all outside my backyard, taking advantage of the walking paths daily.
The trees and swans are like old friends to me now, a familiar sight with each visit. However, on one particular day, the routine was broken by a charming novelty. At the water’s edge of the small lake, I was greeted by the sight of newly hatched black swans. Their delicate beauty was heartwarming as they stayed close to their mother. While capturing the golden of the sunset on camera, I was drawn away by an unusual, persistent sound. Turning around, I discovered one little swan was stuck by two stones, struggling to free itself. The mother swan’s efforts to liberate her were in vain.
Approaching with the intention to help, I found the mother’s protective instincts in full force. She was fiercely guarding her young, preventing any approach. I sought assistance from an elderly gentleman sitting on a nearby bench, “Excuse me, the swan baby seems trapped and unable to move. I wish to lend a hand, but the mother is quite territorial. Would you be so kind as to assist me ”
The man’s face broke into a warm smile before he agreed to help me. With considerable effort, he managed to distract the mother, braving her aggressive behavior multiple times. Thanks to his courageous attempts, I was able to edge closer and successfully push the little swan out of the gap. I held my breath, hoping that it was not injured, but relief washed over me as I saw it swim away, alive.
In spring, my body seems to come alive with renewed energy. It’s nature, not material possessions, that shapes us. I am positive that each of us has a slice of nature nestled in our own neighborhoods. There, we are reminded of why natural life is so important-it supports us as we grow alongside it. Personally, I take simple joy in
the sight of baby birds, which brings a smile to my face! I strive for a minimalist lifestyle, seeking fulfillment in the basic harmony of living in tune with Nature.
What is special about the Kairakuen Park
It has many trees and swans B．It is the largest park in Japan.
C．It is located very close to the author’s house. D．It is famous for its large number of plum trees.
Why couldn’t the author get close to the stuck swan at first
Because the mother swan was angry and protective.
Because the stuck swan was too far away from the author.
Because the author was afraid of hurting the mother swan.
Because the old man sitting on the bench stopped the author.
How did the author feel after rescuing the stuck swan
A．Excited and proud. B．Relieved and hopeful.
C．Frustrated and helpless. D．Angry and disappointed.
It can be inferred from the text that the author .
is really a nature lover B．is short of some life skill
C．asks people to help the weak D．calls on more people to protect the environment
【答案】28．D 29．A 30．B 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在公园散步时解救被困黑天鹅宝宝的故事。 28．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Near my house is Kairaku Park, one of the biggest gardens in Japan, famous for its vast collection of almost 10,000 plum trees. (我家附近是开乐公园，这是日本最大的花园之一，以拥有近一万棵梅树而闻名。)”可知，Kairaku Park 的特别之处在于它拥有大量的梅树。故选 D。

D
Insects cause billions of dollars of damage to crops every year, driving farmers to apply pesticides on an industrial scale, at huge expense and often with unwelcome ecological side effects. They take this, carpet-bombing approach because they lack information about where and when it is best to hit pests, and nobody wants to use too little pesticide and thus risk losing crops. Technologists at FarmSense, a firm in Riverside, California, hope to change that.
The established approach to detecting insect pests, moths in particular, is to employ pheromone-baited (以外外激素为诱饵的) sticky traps. Pheromones are chemicals which animals use to communicate — and especially to attract members of the opposite sex. An appropriately baited sticky trap gives a fair idea of the number and type of
pests around, but not with sufficient detail for the accurate application of pest control measures. FarmSense’s researchers believe they can do better.
The company’s device, FlightSensor, has been in full-scale tests on farms since 2020 and is about to be made generally available. It does, not trap insects. Rather, it detects them with a laser as they fly by. The developers’ finding was that the shadows of passing wings produce the same signal as the sound of the wing beats recorded by a microphone.
For the first group of targets the results are impressive. Navel orangeworm moths, in particular, are a common pest of almond and pistachio trees both important to Californian agriculture. FlightSensor can identify them accurately more than 99% of the time. And the device is still improving its capability, and adding new species as it gets more data. Sometimes it can distinguish insects which, to a human eye, look identical.
Farmsense’s approach works, better than microphones for recording, wing beats because the insects under investigation are quiet and the sound they send out is thus easily lost in background noise. They are easily detectable by laser, though. And while sticky traps are at least a solution for large moths, the FarmSense sensor picks up extremely small moths. From farm to lab, then, identifying insects with FlightSensot may soon be all the
rage on farms.
What is the problem with the carpet bombing approach
It has very little effect. B．It takes too much time.
C．It’s weather dependent. D．It’s costly and damaging.
How does FlightSensor work
It uses light for insect analysis.
It detects chemicals from insects.
It works by recording wing beats.
It traps insects by giving out sound.
What can we say about navel orangeworm moths
They are hardly under control at present.
They are a threat to Californian agriculture.
They are clever enough to avoid FlightSensor.
They are a new species discovered in California.
What does the underlined part “all the rage” in the last paragraph mean
Well protected. B．Quickly removed.
C．Widely adopted. D．Closely checked.
【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．C

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Insects cause billions of dollars of damage to crops every year, driving farmers to apply pesticides on an industrial scale, at huge expense and often with unwelcome ecological side effects.( 昆虫每年给农作物造成数十亿美元的损失，迫使农民以工业规模使用杀虫剂，代价巨大，而且往往带来不受欢迎的生态副作用。)”可知，地毯炸弹法成本高，破坏性高。故选 D 项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The company’s device, FlightSensor, has been in full-scale tests on farms since 2020 and is about to be made generally available. It does, not trap insects. Rather, it detects them with a laser as
they fly by.( 该公司的设备 FlightSensor 自 2020 年以来一直在农场进行全面测试，即将全面上市。它不会诱捕昆虫。相反，当它们飞过时，它会用激光探测它们。)”可知，FlightSensor 通过使用光来分析昆虫。故选 A 项。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the importance of critical thinking cannot be overstated. 36 It not only helps students analyze information and solve problems but also prepares them for the complexities of the future workplace. This essay will discuss the necessity of critical thinking in modern education and its various benefits.
Critical thinking fosters (促进) intellectual curiosity and a love for learning. When students are encouraged to question and analyze, they develop a deeper understanding of the subjects they study. 37 This leads to a more engaged and motivated learning experience.
Critical thinking skills are essential for making informed decisions. In an age where information is readily available but often unreliable, the ability to evaluate sources and discern (辨别) facts from fiction is crucial. Students must learn to evaluate information critically and make informed decisions based on that evaluation. 38
39 When students are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and think outside the box, they come up with novel solutions to complex problems. This ability to think critically and independently is what sets humans apart from other animals and machines. This fosters an environment of creativity and innovation, which is vital for progress and development in any field.
In conclusion, the inclusion of critical thinking in modern education is not just a nice addition but a necessity. 40 It prepares students for the challenges of the future and equips them with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly complex world.
A．Critical thinking promotes creativity and innovation.
B．People hold different views on almost everything because of this.
C．As a result, students will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of life.
D．Without these skills, students may fall prey to misinformation and make poor choices. E．Therefore, integrating critical thinking into educational curricula is extremely important.
F．This encourages them to explore new ideas and concepts, expanding their knowledge base.
G．Critical thinking is the ability to analyze and reason about information in a logical and objective manner.

前文“Critical thinking skills are essential for making informed decisions. In an age where information is readily available but often unreliable, the ability to evaluate sources and discern facts from fiction is crucial. Students must learn to evaluate information critically and make informed decisions based on that evaluation. (批判性思维技能对于做出明智的决定是必不可少的。在一个信息唾手可得但往往不可靠的时代，评估信息来源和辨别事实与虚构的能力至关重要。学生必须学会批判性地评估信息，并在此基础上做出明智的决定)”可知，批判性思考
的技能在对于评估信息是十分重要的，D 选项“如果没有这些技能，学生们可能会沦为错误信息的牺牲品，
做出糟糕的选择”从反面说明这些技能在辨别信息上的重要性。故选 D。 39．空处为本段主旨句，根据后文“When students are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and think outside the box, they come up with novel solutions to complex problems.(当学生不害怕挑战传统的智慧，跳出固有的思维模式，他们就会想出解决复杂问题的新方法)”及“This fosters an environment of creativity and innovation, which is vital for progress and development in any field.(这促进了创造和创新的环境，这对任何领域的进步和发展都至关重要)”可知，本段主要讲解批判性思维对于提升创造力和创新力的重要性。A 选项“批判性思维促进创造力和创新”符合主旨。故选 A。

63．考查名词的复数。句意：在马耳他大学孔子学院的展位上，其中一个参与者， 12 岁的 Nathan Zammit用毛笔用汉字写下了自己的名字。One of 后跟名词的复数，因此空格处是复数participants。故填 participants。 64．考查介词。句意：在马耳他大学孔子学院的展位上，其中一个参与者，12 岁的 Nathan Zammit 用毛笔 用汉字写下了自己的名字。此处表示“用毛笔写字”，空格处意为“用”，是介词 with，故填 with。 65．考查不定式。句意：尽管没有去过中国，但他对书法感到兴奋，并对中国文化表示钦佩。be excited to do 是固定短语，意为“兴奋地做某事”，因此空格处是不定式 to experience，作状语。故填 to experience。

第二节（满分 25 分）
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。
It was a Saturday afternoon. I was having lunch when Dad told me to get ready. I became unhappy. I don’t like Saturdays! Even though it’s a holiday for most children, it is not for me because I need to go to football club.
Many kids love sports, but I am not one of them. I prefer to stay at home and read. I don’t like running, so in a team I am a bad player. The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I’m useless.
I have no idea how to play football. Usually, after practice my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod.
Last Thursday, the coach told us that we would be competing with another team in a month and many people would come to see the game. Our opponents (对手 ) were the winner last year and I froze and thought how awkward it would be if the team lost because of me.
So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day.
After one month, when the game day came, my teammates were unwilling to take me in the team, and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well. But they happened to be short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team.
Our team was the Big Blues. There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field. I got very nervous. The game started and within two minutes, I got a blue card. By the time I was allowed back, the score was two goals for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team.
注意：
所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph l：
When the ball came towards me, I froze.
Paragraph 2：
Our team, The Big Blues, won the match!
【答案】Paragraph 1:
When the ball came towards me, I froze. My teammates were very tired and seemed worried. The opponents rushed towards me. Without thinking anymore, I found courage, and I kicked the ball with all my strength. The opponents didn’t think highly of me, so they didn’t think that I would be able to kick the ball so powerfully. As I kicked, the goalkeeper jumped towards the ball but missed it.
Paragraph 2:
Our team, The Big Blues, won the match! All my teammates ran towards me to lift me in the air. Since that day, I have gained some confidence and started to play better. My coach and teammates are also content with me and they try to improve my skills every time I play. Now I have realized that I always liked this sport, but my problem with it had something to do with the lack of encouragement I got. Now I can build on my confidence and I’ve realized I can also play this sport very well.
