The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to
Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生
素 C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of
gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the
weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m.
adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North
Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most
of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No
matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed
in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of
my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be
eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the
suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to
have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
25. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.
26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter
A. They are soft. B. They look nice.
C. They taste great D. They are juicy.
27. What was the author going to that evening
A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegatables.
C
Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by corals and some
other ocean life. Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine
species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching (白化). It
happens when the corals lose colored algae (海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the
corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic (酸性的) from absorbing CO ,
corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures
since 2009. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since
2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused serious
three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the
hot parts of the globe are the least affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focuses on
finding genes for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more
resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gases, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs
will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt to warm climate, so if temperatures
rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
28. Which is the main threat to coral reefs
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Increasing sea temperatures.
C. Loss of colored algae. D. Lack of food sources.
29. What do we know from paragraph 3
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.
B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.
D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
30. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs
A. Limiting their spread. B. Lowering the release of greenhouse gases.
C. Relying on genetic science. D. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. How Can Coral Reefs Survive
B. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread
C. Coral Reefs, a New Threat to Ocean
D. Coral Reefs, a Busy Underwater Community
D
Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for
tea. It’s a miracle of sorts.
Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has
figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品).
A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some
people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of
shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from.
Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it
never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the
crystals and return the honey to its liquid form.
No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show
early evidence of beekeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even
as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was
more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power!
Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult
for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is
also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children.
The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of
honey.
32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat
A Its various shades. B. Its natural creation.
C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history.
33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids
A. To illustrate that it never goes bad.
B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians.
C. To compare it with the honey in Spain.
D. To inform that it originates from Egypt.
34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey
A. Promoting bacterial growth.
B. Curing throat pain.
C. Preventing infection in wounds.
D. Resisting common colds.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature
B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure
C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy
D. Honey: a Common Sweetener

●Listen to the Feelings Behind the Words
When people are upset, their words don’t always show their true feelings. ____40____ Are they scared, stressed, or
hurt Recognizing these hidden emotions can prevent you from focusing only on their sharp words. Even if you disagree,

67. 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 cold winter afternoon. The wind howled outside, hitting the windowpanes with a sharp sound. Lily, a senior
high school student, stared at the math problem in front of her, feeling frustrated. She had been struggling with it for an hour,
but her mind was blank. Her mom had gone to the supermarket to buy some groceries, leaving her alone at home.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Lily frowned, wondering who it could be on such a cold day. She walked
to the door cautiously and looked through the peephole (窥视孔). It was an old lady with white hair, wearing a thin coat and
holding a basket in her hand. The lady’s hands were red from the cold, and she looked tired and helpless.
“Excuse me, dear,” the old lady said weakly when Lily opened the door a little. “I’m your neighbor, Mrs. Henderson. I
live next door. My cat Mimi ran out of the house this morning, and I’ve been looking for her everywhere. I’m so cold and
thirsty… Could I come in for a cup of hot water ”
Lily hesitated for a moment. Her mom always told her not to let strangers in, but Mrs. Henderson looked so pitiful. She
remembered seeing the old lady walking her cat in the neighborhood a few times before. Finally, she opened the door and
let Mrs. Henderson in. She fetched a cup of hot water and handed it to the old lady, who thanked her repeatedly.
As Mrs. Henderson drank the hot water, she kept talking about her cat Mimi — a small, fluffy (毛茸茸的) white cat
with a pink nose. “She’s my only companion (伙伴),” the old lady said with tears in her eyes. “I don’t know what I would
do if I lost her.” Lily felt a pang of sympathy (同情). She decided to help Mrs. Henderson look for Mimi after finishing her
homework.
Just as Lily was about to start her homework again, she heard a faint meow (猫叫) from the balcony (阳台). She
rushed to the balcony, and Mrs. Henderson followed her closely…

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to
Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生
素 C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of
gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the
weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m.
adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North
Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most
of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No
matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed
in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of
my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be
eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the
suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to
have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
25. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.
26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter
A. They are soft. B. They look nice.
C. They taste great D. They are juicy.
27. What was the author going to that evening
A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegatables.

Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by corals and some
other ocean life. Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine
species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching (白化). It
happens when the corals lose colored algae (海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the
corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic (酸性的) from absorbing CO ,
corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures
since 2009. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since
2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused serious
three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the
hot parts of the globe are the least affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focuses on
finding genes for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more
resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gases, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs
will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt to warm climate, so if temperatures
rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
28. Which is the main threat to coral reefs
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Increasing sea temperatures.
C. Loss of colored algae. D. Lack of food sources.
29. What do we know from paragraph 3
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.
B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.
D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
30. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs
A. Limiting their spread. B. Lowering the release of greenhouse gases.
C. Relying on genetic science. D. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. How Can Coral Reefs Survive
B. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread
C. Coral Reefs, a New Threat to Ocean
D. Coral Reefs, a Busy Underwater Community

Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for
tea. It’s a miracle of sorts.
Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has
figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品).
A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some
people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of
shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from.
Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it
never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the
crystals and return the honey to its liquid form.
No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show
early evidence of beekeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even
as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was
more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power!
Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult
for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is
also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children.
The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of
honey.
32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat
A Its various shades. B. Its natural creation.
C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history.
33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids
A. To illustrate that it never goes bad.
B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians.
C. To compare it with the honey in Spain.
D. To inform that it originates from Egypt.
34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey
A. Promoting bacterial growth.
B. Curing throat pain.
C. Preventing infection in wounds.
D. Resisting common colds.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature
B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure
C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy
D. Honey: a Common Sweetener

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear you’re planning a “Green Campus” themed club activity and I’d love to share some ideas with you.
For the activity form, a combination of workshops and on-site practices would work well. This way, students can both
learn knowledge and put it into action. In the workshop, you can invite a teacher to give a talk on environmental protection,
like how small daily actions can reduce carbon footprint. Then, organize a campus clean-up where students pick up litter
and sort it into different bins. You can also set up a “swap corner” where students exchange used books, stationery or
clothes instead of throwing them away.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. Wish your activity a great success!
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 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 cold winter afternoon. The wind howled outside, hitting the windowpanes with a sharp sound. Lily, a senior
high school student, stared at the math problem in front of her, feeling frustrated. She had been struggling with it for an hour,
but her mind was blank. Her mom had gone to the supermarket to buy some groceries, leaving her alone at home.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Lily frowned, wondering who it could be on such a cold day. She walked
to the door cautiously and looked through the peephole (窥视孔). It was an old lady with white hair, wearing a thin coat and
holding a basket in her hand. The lady’s hands were red from the cold, and she looked tired and helpless.
“Excuse me, dear,” the old lady said weakly when Lily opened the door a little. “I’m your neighbor, Mrs. Henderson. I
live next door. My cat Mimi ran out of the house this morning, and I’ve been looking for her everywhere. I’m so cold and
thirsty… Could I come in for a cup of hot water ”
Lily hesitated for a moment. Her mom always told her not to let strangers in, but Mrs. Henderson looked so pitiful. She
remembered seeing the old lady walking her cat in the neighborhood a few times before. Finally, she opened the door and
let Mrs. Henderson in. She fetched a cup of hot water and handed it to the old lady, who thanked her repeatedly.
As Mrs. Henderson drank the hot water, she kept talking about her cat Mimi — a small, fluffy (毛茸茸的) white cat
with a pink nose. “She’s my only companion (伙伴),” the old lady said with tears in her eyes. “I don’t know what I would
do if I lost her.” Lily felt a pang of sympathy (同情). She decided to help Mrs. Henderson look for Mimi after finishing her
homework.
Just as Lily was about to start her homework again, she heard a faint meow (猫叫) from the balcony (阳台). She
rushed to the balcony, and Mrs. Henderson followed her closely…

【答案】Paragraph 1:
There, on the cold balcony railing, sat a small white cat, shivering with cold. It was exactly Mimi! Mrs. Henderson let
out a cry of joy and reached out her hands gently to hold the cat. Mimi rubbed against her palm affectionately, as if she was
also glad to see her owner. Lily quickly fetched a warm towel and wrapped it around Mimi, who stopped shivering soon.
Mrs. Henderson thanked Lily again and again, her eyes filled with gratitude. She said that Mimi must have climbed over the
wall to Lily’s balcony to seek warmth.
Paragraph 2:
When Lily’s mom came back home, she was surprised to see Mrs. Henderson and Mimi in the house. Lily explained
what had happened, and her mom smiled and praised her for being kind and helpful. She invited Mrs. Henderson to stay for
dinner, but Mrs. Henderson politely refused, saying she wanted to take Mimi home to warm up. Before leaving, Mrs.
Henderson gave Lily a small box of homemade cookies as a gift. From then on, Lily and Mrs. Henderson became good
friends, and Mimi often came to visit Lily’s house.
