第二部分 阅读理解(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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Here are the best places to see the northern lights around the world.
Upper Peninsula, Michigan
Surrounded by untouched wilderness and the Great Lakes, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula features little light pollution and hundreds of miles of clear north-facing views along Lake Superior’s shoreline. For prime Northern Lights spotting territory, set up your tripod(三脚架)at Keweenaw Dark Sky Park, which holds star viewing workshops and events year-round. Northern lights season here is between October and April.
Svalbard, Norway
Svalbard, a Norwegian island between the mainland and the North Pole, is the only inhabited destination in the world where you can witness the northern lights at any time of day. Head to Svalbard during Polar Night—the country’s longest dark season—which lasts a full 113 days between November and January. With so many hours spent in darkness, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for aurora chasing(极光追逐).
Abisko, Sweden
Live out your Frozen-inspired Scandinavian fairy tale in northern Sweden by first staying in the world’s original Icehotel and then heading 70 miles northwest to Abisko National Park. Sweden’s top spot for the northern lights. The position of mountains on both sides of the park creates a microclimate, gathering most clouds, rain, and snow, and creating the so-called “blue hole over Abisko”, where the Northern Lights appear on a near-nightly basis during peak season between September and March.
Fairbanks, Alaska
Low rainfall and an inland location contribute to countless, clear winter nights, and excellent viewing throughout a lengthy aurora season from August 21 through April 21 in Fairbanks, Alaska. Just outside the city lie several must-do lookout points like Cleary Summit, which even has its own comfortable Aurora Watching Hotel. Or, head to one of greater Fairbanks’s hot spring resorts to soak(浸泡)while enjoying the aurora scene.
21. Where can you enjoy the northern lights all day long
A. Upper Peninsula, Michigan. B. Svalbard, Norway.
C. Abisko, Sweden. D. Fairbanks, Alaska.
22. When is the best time to visit Abisko National Park for the northern lights
A. September to March. B. August to April.
C. November to January. D. October to April.
23. Who would most likely be interested in visiting Cleary Summit
A. Tourists exploring microclimate.
B. Starviewers attending workshops.
C. People preferring to bathe in hot springs.
D. Aurora chasers seeking good accommodations.
B
David Thompson sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adam, was from Harvard College. David’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles(幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells(壳).”
David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next ” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
David and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster ” asked David’s father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adams and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David’s father.
“I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
24. What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Clear speaking voices. B. Low dull sounds.
C. Enthusiastic responses. D. High spirits.
25. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children
A. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons...”
B. “See if you can describe their shells...”
C. “Go outside and look at the sky...”
D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories ...”
26. What can we learn from paragraph 9
A. David’s father had met the new schoolmaster.
B. David had thought poorly of school before.
C. David’s father was not satisfied with the new ways.
D. David had shown his father his homework.
27. What is the main idea of this story
A. Science is all around us. B. School provides us with the best education.
C. There is more than one way to learn. D. Homework is an important part of education.
C
My brother once said, “I’d love for us all to live together, but it’s just not practical.” This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence over living with family. However, as housing costs rise and families face elder care challenges, this way of thinking is changing. Living with several generations — common in places like China — is becoming popular in the UK.
Recent reports showed that 1.8 million UK households now include two or more adult generations. Census (人口普查) data showed that 71 percent of Britons would consider it in the future. Money is a big reason: The cost-of-living crisis makes sharing rent, utilities (水电费) and groceries practical. For aging parents, avoiding expensive care facilities lowers financial pressure. However, focusing only on money misses the deeper benefits.
Living together isn’t just about sharing bills; it’s about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look after children, adults help with chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. In a society facing loneliness, especially among seniors, being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace. My brother’s wish for a “big house” wasn’t only old memories — it showed that separated families often miss these moments.
Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take (互相谦让). But modern design, from granny flats to shared common areas, can help. The key is to set boundaries while respecting each other.
Some people say living with several generations feels like going backward. I see it as progress: using tradition to solve modern problems. China’s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost.
Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but calling it “impractical” ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures, one that turns “my burden (负担)” into “our shared life”. Let’s stop seeing it as a sacrifice and start valuing it as a choice worth considering.
28. What does the author suggest about the Western view of family life
A. It prefers wealth to relationships. B. It sees independence as important.
C. It values privacy more than support. D. It ignores tradition in modern times.
29. What is the deeper benefit of multi-generational living
A. It strengthens family connections. B. It encourages respect for traditions.
C. It prepares children for adulthood. D. It reduces dependence on society.
30. Why does the author mention China’s model of living
A. To criticize Western values. B. To provide a cultural difference.
C. To show a successful example. D. To defend traditional duties.
31. What does the author consider multi-generational living
A. It is modern yet imperfect. B. It is practical yet a short-term fix.
C. It is outdated but unavoidable. D. It is challenging but helpful.
D
The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the past five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into clothing to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers(微纤维) could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years. He explains that every time synthetic(合成) clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples(样本) from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can take in other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution”. Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support “Benign by Design”, his research project, which is trying to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one woman’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
32. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. New microfibers have been discovered.
B. Plastic-based clothes can’t handle the pollution problem.
C. Plastic waste has been well dealt with.
D. Recycled clothes have gained wide popularity.
33. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. How to wash synthetic clothes. B. How to prevent plastic pollution.
C. How microfibers end up in the sea. D. How synthetic clothes relate to microfibers.
34. Which of the following is true about the “Benign by Design” project
A. It has achieved great success. B. It is facing some difficulties.
C. It is supported by many firms. D. It hasn’t got anything done.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution
B. The impact of Microfibers on the sea
C. Environmental protection: moving forward or backward
D. The benefit of clothes made from plastic bottles
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many students still miss past summer travel experiences. People believe that summer travel is destined to be expensive, crowded, and exhausting. In fact, the quality of a trip depends more on the way you travel than on the season itself.
Where you choose to go matters the most. Many people choose popular tourist attractions, only to end up spending a lot of money while struggling through huge crowds. Why not turn to the places with better value for money In this way, you can not only save money but also enjoy peace and quiet. 36
Dealing with hot weather is also very important. Summer travel naturally involves strong sunshine, but that does not mean you have to suffer through it helplessly. 37 For example, wearing breathable clothing and carrying portable fans can help a lot. If possible, arranging major outdoor activities in the cooler early morning or evening hours is also a smart choice.
To travel light, you also need to pack light. 38 Make your trip easier by choosing a small roller bag instead of heavy checked luggage. Take only the essentials and wash clothes during your trip.
Accommodation choices also matter. 39 Check the actual conditions of the room — for example, whether it has windows, a real bed, and a private bathroom. These details often determine how comfortable your trip will be.
40 With some careful planning on where to go, how to deal with the heat, and where to stay, anyone can turn it into a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
A. Summer travel is not necessarily a “painful journey.”
B. Carrying too much luggage often becomes a burden.
C. The location of your hotel is more important than the room itself.
D. Many popular destinations offer cheaper tickets for students or seniors.
E. Some simple yet effective protective measures can make a noticeable difference.
F. In particular, you should stay cautious about places with unbelievably low prices.
G. Avoiding the mindset that “popular means best” is a key step toward a better travel experience.

Now, as we prepare to go to university, I think I can do some things to make us all enjoy being here this year. It is not usually the president’s job to make you study harder. Instead, I will make sure we all have stuff to do outside of class. Our football field has no grass. Using donation boxes at the school front desk, I will raise money to buy grass. People will pass this box when they drop off their kids every morning. We have about a thousand students, so I think this will work. Also, the previous president did a great job making field trips more fun. For example, all we went to the history museum because he suggested it to the teachers. By writing a survey for you to fill out, I hope to better understand what kind of field trips you want. That is all I have to say today. If you want to ask any questions, you know where to find me.
