第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Introduce your family to the fantastic night sky. Here are four places to experience a star-filled landscape.
Sossusvlei, Namibia
Check into Little Kulala, a solar-powered, desert tourist attraction within southern Africa’s expansive Kulala Wilderness Reserve. Jump aboard a Land Rover to see animals like springbok, ostrich and oryx, or float above the planet’s oldest desert the Namib Desert — in a hot air balloon. After a dramatic day, fall asleep on your rooftop Sky Bed and enjoy a “late-night show” where shooting stars and the Milky Way serve as headliners.
Death Valley, California
Death Valley National Park’s 3.4-million-acre (亩) size and the region’s clean, dry air combine to provide an ideal destination for observing shooting stars and constellations (星座). The area shares a strong commitment to limiting late night light use to keep the night sky visible. During the winter months, the National Park Service offers programs that provide an introduction to the universe at a famous Death Valley location.
Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese, Rome
For a multigenerational adventure, gather at the Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese for an evening picnic and stargazing (观星的) experience. You’ll learn which constellations may have been given their names by Roman astronomers. Villa Borghese, a former 19th century Roman palace, lies within walking distance of some of the city’s best-known cultural landmarks and parks.
Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah
Due to night light regulations, this scenic landscape is home to some of the darkest skies in the U.S. Massive natural bridges form star-filled windows through which you can observe the skies as the Pueblo people did some 800 years ago. Among the most beautiful geographical sights is the river of Milky Way brilliance observed rising over Owachomo Bridge.
1. What can tourists do in Sossusvlei, Namibia
A. Observe desert creatures. B. Learn about solar energy.
C. Enjoy a live performance. D. Camp in the oldest desert.
2. What do Death Valley and Natural Bridges National Monument have in common
A. Sharing geographical knowledge. B. Offering hands-on programs.
C. Permitting evening picnics. D. Controlling light overuse.
3. Who is the passage intended for
A. Wildlife conservationists. B. Professional astronauts.
C. Astronomy enthusiasts. D. Adventurous explorers.
B
In December 2014, a spine (脊柱) cancer surgery saved my life and disabled me at the same time.
I had been a very active person, but after surgery, my legs were partially paralyzed (瘫痪). Initially, I leaned on stories of fellow athletes who overcame significant physical hardships. But later, I drew inspiration from an old disabled man. I find myself consumed with the later years of Henri Matisse, an artist his friend Pablo Picasso described as “a magician”.
Matisse saved the best for last — the disabled end of his life, enjoying the most productive, creative and innovative years of his artistic life. Matisse’s solution was simple: painted paper, large tailor’s scissors and a creative hand.
Two days before having my surgery, I went to see a large exhibition of Matisse’s cutouts with my family. All the works displayed had come after Matisse’s cancer surgery, a period he called his “second life”. I was unexpectedly emotional seeing the 100 cutouts. Through months of radiation treatment, I had been suffering from severe pain, sometimes even unable to move a muscle. However, as I saw his works, I realized it wasn’t the end of the world and my nervousness disappeared.
After my surgery, I expected a full recovery. When it didn’t happen, I began to come back to Matisse. Like him, I mostly use a wheelchair, and my cancer will require new treatments and more adaptations. But, as I hoped, seeing his large cutouts in December brought me to a whole new mindset. For example, the elegant Swimming Pool was the first work I saw entering the gallery. It reminded me how the balletic scene lifted him as he composed it across his home walls in Nice.
I remembered Matisse’s statement: “Only what I created after my illness makes my real self: free, uncontrolled.” Now I always encourage myself: You don’t need to be a magician to have a new life.
4. What did the author learn from Matisse’s later life
A. Artworks cure mental suffering. B. Hardships don’t defeat freedom.
C. Innovations enrich personal life. D. Disabilities don’t stop creativity.
5. How may the author feel when seeing Matisse’s works
A. Relieved and calm. B. Refreshed yet tense.
C. Impressed and proud. D. Confused yet optimistic.
6. What drew the author to Matisse
A. His works’ unique style. B. Their similar backstories.
C. His works’ artistic value. D. Their individual preferences.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Fighting to get a full recovery. B. Learning to live a second life.
C. Appreciating themed artworks. D. Identifying unexplored possibilities.
C
Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light — and it’s smaller than a grain of rice.
Generally, pacemakers are small, implanted devices that regulate the heart’s beating. Temporary pacemakers are a subcategory. The current standard in temporary pacemakers involves sewing electrodes (电极) to the heart via wires, which then go out of the patient’s chest and connect to a box. Igor Efimov, a heart expert, notes: “When the pacemaker is no longer needed, a physician pulls it out. It’s highly likely that the wires can become enveloped in certain tissues. So, when the wires are pulled out, that can potentially damage the heart muscle.”
A study on the new device, published in the journal Nature, found that the new tiny pacemaker delivered effective pacing in human hearts. The device is designed specifically for patients who need temporary pacemaking — like newborn babies with heart problems or heart surgery patients — and it’s made with materials that allow it to dissolve (溶解) into the body once it’s no longer needed. Besides, it can be implanted without any wire. The design could potentially help patients avoid complications involved with current temporary pacemakers.
Instead of using wires to deliver the small electrical pulses (脉冲) that keep the heart on track, the new device relies on light. It tracks patients’ heart rate on the outside of their chests. When their heart rate drops below a certain level, it’s activated to produce a tiny pulse of invisible light through the skin to the pacemaker. Inside the body, the pacemaker, with a light-activated “on” and “off” switch, then gives an electrical pulse whenever it’s “on”.
In the future, Efimov believes that the new pacemaker could have applications for various heart conditions. For those with heart diseases like arrhythmias, multiple small pacemakers could be placed around the heart to correct its rhythm. Currently, the tiny pacemaker is still in its testing phase, but Efimov strongly believes it could be available within the next five years.
8. What is the main disadvantage of current temporary pacemakers
A. High cost. B. Low standards. C. Fragile structure. D. Underlying risk.
9. What may the new device contribute to
A. Diversity in materials. B. Accuracy in implantation.
C. Simplification in treatments. D. Improvement in effectiveness.
10. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The working process of the new device. B. The rising production of the new device.
C. The tracking technique of the new device. D. The shocking activeness of the new device.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To stress the new pacemaker’s bright prospect.
B. To list the new pacemaker’s positive comments.
C. To show the new pacemaker’s wide application.
D. To praise the new pacemaker’s powerful functions.
D
Walk fast for three minutes, slow down for three minutes and repeat the cycle five times. It promises the benefits of a 10,000-step walk in just 30 minutes, no specific equipment needed. This latest trend is all over social media and has people wondering whether this can improve health more efficiently than a traditional walk.
The recent workout started with a video from fitness coach Eugene Teo. “People don’t like scientific terms,” Teo said in an interview, “and if I want to impact millions globally, I like to make those a lot more accessible.” According to a study of 246 people, participants who followed this routine saw greater improvements in blood pressure and leg strength than those in the less intense continuous walking group.
Generally, experts agree that energized activity is beneficial. However, there’s doubt whether the science behind the trend above is as strong as the messaging. Dr. Parveen Garg, with Keck Medicine of USC, said he doesn’t see the new walking trend as a standout recommendation among physicians. The study, he said, was small and meant to encourage further research, not to support sweeping conclusions.
Sarah T. Roberts, an internet culture expert, sees the trend as a reflection of broader social forces. However, Roberts warned against the risks of turning to social media platforms for medical advice. Roberts encourages viewers to critically evaluate where their advice comes from and who profits from it. “People with big followings often have something to sell,” she said. “They’re not really acting in the public interest.”
Still, Roberts said, with every health trend, social media companies are profiting. Although some platforms have tried to reduce medical misinformation, Roberts said, such content regulation has fallen out of favor because it affects profit.
For the mixed views, Teo admitted fitness trends should be approached with discernment. He’s not claiming to replace traditional walking — just to offer an alternative. “As long as you’re not misleading people,” he said, “it’s great to innovate things.”
12. What is the main feature of the new trend according to Teo
A. Strong intensity. B. Constant repetition.
C. Learner-friendliness. D. Equipment-independence.
13. How do the two experts view the trend
A. Healthy but profit-driven. B. Widespread and long-lasting.
C. Recommended but misleading. D. Untrustworthy and inconclusive.
14. What does the underlined word “discernment” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Worry. B. Caution. C. Prejudice. D. Disapproval.
15. In which column may the text be found
A. Science. B. Wellness. C. Psychology. D. Entertainment.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the 2000-2001 season, I coached the Assumption Crusaders senior boys hockey (冰球) team. We were an average team with extraordinary experiences: we’d toured many countries and played in numerous excellent games. Countless hours in dressing rooms, at practice, in competition and hanging out off the ice had bound this group of boys into an incredibly united team.
In December 2000, we faced off against the dominant team in our league, knowing we’d be fighting just to keep the score close. After two periods, we were behind 4-0. During time-out, our coaching staff kept the mood light, reminding the boys they were playing well.
At the start of the third period, our captain, Travis Colley-Zorrilla, broke in from the side boards at the blue line on a partial breakaway. He pulled off a brilliant move, shifting the “ball” from his backhand to his forehand, and fired it past the goalkeeper’s glove into the back of the goal.
What happened next took mere seconds, but left a permanent mark. Travis caught his foot on the goalkeeper, and the weight of an opposing player who landed on him after the goal sent him crashing suddenly into the end boards, instead of sliding gently into the corner. Unable to raise his arms to protect himself, he took the full impact to his head, suffering horrific injuries: three broken backbones (C4, C5 and C7), leaving his arms and legs disabled.
When the doctor laid out the extent of Travis’s injuries, I was flooded with disbelief, shock, sadness and desperation. Travis, by contrast, chose unshakable strength, toughness and optimism, lifting up everyone who came to visit him. Through his hospital stay, his recovery and multiple surgeries, he never once asked “why me ” or showed any self-pity. Meanwhile, when Travis was in hospital, the entire school and community worked together. Classmates, teachers and parents showed up to cook meals for his family and help around the house to ease their burden.
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。
We even organized a charity sale to support Travis.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After everything was settled, we brought the money and gifts to Travis.

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light — and it’s smaller than a grain of rice.
Generally, pacemakers are small, implanted devices that regulate the heart’s beating. Temporary pacemakers are a subcategory. The current standard in temporary pacemakers involves sewing electrodes (电极) to the heart via wires, which then go out of the patient’s chest and connect to a box. Igor Efimov, a heart expert, notes: “When the pacemaker is no longer needed, a physician pulls it out. It’s highly likely that the wires can become enveloped in certain tissues. So, when the wires are pulled out, that can potentially damage the heart muscle.”
A study on the new device, published in the journal Nature, found that the new tiny pacemaker delivered effective pacing in human hearts. The device is designed specifically for patients who need temporary pacemaking — like newborn babies with heart problems or heart surgery patients — and it’s made with materials that allow it to dissolve (溶解) into the body once it’s no longer needed. Besides, it can be implanted without any wire. The design could potentially help patients avoid complications involved with current temporary pacemakers.
Instead of using wires to deliver the small electrical pulses (脉冲) that keep the heart on track, the new device relies on light. It tracks patients’ heart rate on the outside of their chests. When their heart rate drops below a certain level, it’s activated to produce a tiny pulse of invisible light through the skin to the pacemaker. Inside the body, the pacemaker, with a light-activated “on” and “off” switch, then gives an electrical pulse whenever it’s “on”.
In the future, Efimov believes that the new pacemaker could have applications for various heart conditions. For those with heart diseases like arrhythmias, multiple small pacemakers could be placed around the heart to correct its rhythm. Currently, the tiny pacemaker is still in its testing phase, but Efimov strongly believes it could be available within the next five years.
8. What is the main disadvantage of current temporary pacemakers
A. High cost. B. Low standards. C. Fragile structure. D. Underlying risk.
9. What may the new device contribute to
A. Diversity in materials. B. Accuracy in implantation.
C. Simplification in treatments. D. Improvement in effectiveness.
10. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The working process of the new device. B. The rising production of the new device.
C. The tracking technique of the new device. D. The shocking activeness of the new device.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To stress the new pacemaker’s bright prospect.
B. To list the new pacemaker’s positive comments.
C. To show the new pacemaker’s wide application.
D. To praise the new pacemaker’s powerful functions.

Walk fast for three minutes, slow down for three minutes and repeat the cycle five times. It promises the benefits of a 10,000-step walk in just 30 minutes, no specific equipment needed. This latest trend is all over social media and has people wondering whether this can improve health more efficiently than a traditional walk.
The recent workout started with a video from fitness coach Eugene Teo. “People don’t like scientific terms,” Teo said in an interview, “and if I want to impact millions globally, I like to make those a lot more accessible.” According to a study of 246 people, participants who followed this routine saw greater improvements in blood pressure and leg strength than those in the less intense continuous walking group.
Generally, experts agree that energized activity is beneficial. However, there’s doubt whether the science behind the trend above is as strong as the messaging. Dr. Parveen Garg, with Keck Medicine of USC, said he doesn’t see the new walking trend as a standout recommendation among physicians. The study, he said, was small and meant to encourage further research, not to support sweeping conclusions.
Sarah T. Roberts, an internet culture expert, sees the trend as a reflection of broader social forces. However, Roberts warned against the risks of turning to social media platforms for medical advice. Roberts encourages viewers to critically evaluate where their advice comes from and who profits from it. “People with big followings often have something to sell,” she said. “They’re not really acting in the public interest.”
Still, Roberts said, with every health trend, social media companies are profiting. Although some platforms have tried to reduce medical misinformation, Roberts said, such content regulation has fallen out of favor because it affects profit.
For the mixed views, Teo admitted fitness trends should be approached with discernment. He’s not claiming to replace traditional walking — just to offer an alternative. “As long as you’re not misleading people,” he said, “it’s great to innovate things.”
12. What is the main feature of the new trend according to Teo
A. Strong intensity. B. Constant repetition.
C. Learner-friendliness. D. Equipment-independence.
13. How do the two experts view the trend
A. Healthy but profit-driven. B. Widespread and long-lasting.
C. Recommended but misleading. D. Untrustworthy and inconclusive.
14. What does the underlined word “discernment” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Worry. B. Caution. C. Prejudice. D. Disapproval.
15. In which column may the text be found
A. Science. B. Wellness. C. Psychology. D. Entertainment.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the 2000-2001 season, I coached the Assumption Crusaders senior boys hockey (冰球) team. We were an average team with extraordinary experiences: we’d toured many countries and played in numerous excellent games. Countless hours in dressing rooms, at practice, in competition and hanging out off the ice had bound this group of boys into an incredibly united team.
In December 2000, we faced off against the dominant team in our league, knowing we’d be fighting just to keep the score close. After two periods, we were behind 4-0. During time-out, our coaching staff kept the mood light, reminding the boys they were playing well.
At the start of the third period, our captain, Travis Colley-Zorrilla, broke in from the side boards at the blue line on a partial breakaway. He pulled off a brilliant move, shifting the “ball” from his backhand to his forehand, and fired it past the goalkeeper’s glove into the back of the goal.
What happened next took mere seconds, but left a permanent mark. Travis caught his foot on the goalkeeper, and the weight of an opposing player who landed on him after the goal sent him crashing suddenly into the end boards, instead of sliding gently into the corner. Unable to raise his arms to protect himself, he took the full impact to his head, suffering horrific injuries: three broken backbones (C4, C5 and C7), leaving his arms and legs disabled.
When the doctor laid out the extent of Travis’s injuries, I was flooded with disbelief, shock, sadness and desperation. Travis, by contrast, chose unshakable strength, toughness and optimism, lifting up everyone who came to visit him. Through his hospital stay, his recovery and multiple surgeries, he never once asked “why me ” or showed any self-pity. Meanwhile, when Travis was in hospital, the entire school and community worked together. Classmates, teachers and parents showed up to cook meals for his family and help around the house to ease their burden.

【答案】范文
We even organized a charity sale to support Travis. The whole team poured their hearts into it. Various items, like hockey equipment, cherished souvenirs from our trip and homemade snacks, were on sale. So well-received was the activity that nearly all items were sold out in the end. With the amount of money going up, a wave of relief washed over us. Much to our surprise, besides making purchases, some students and teachers even brought heartwarming gifts such as flowers and signed T-shirts with inspiring messages to lift his spirits. It was not until midnight that we finished the list recording what we’d collected from the sale.
After everything was settled, we brought the money and gifts to Travis. Shocked and moved, he delightedly accepted them all and sincerely expressed his appreciation. As usual, we chatted, asked about his physical condition and hoped he could make a full recovery and return to school soon, no matter whether he could step onto the ice and play again. Optimistic and lighthearted, Travis continued to display his hearty smile and can-do attitude. Even we were no longer so stressed after the visit. After that, our team became more united and hardworking than ever because we were fully aware that we were playing not just for ourselves, but for Travis as well.
