Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Today's gift was to my friend Oscar in Portland who is unhoused. I got him a $50 Kroger card so that he can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Oscar and I have been talking a lot about gut (肠道) health and how important nutrition is.
Oscar told me that it's really hard to get good food. Most of what is given out is past the sellby dates. He is always grateful for the food,but he has an autoimmune (自身免疫的) disease so these kinds of foods are really making it worse. Now that spring is here,hopefully,he can get fresher produce.
I told him about the book I'm reading by Will Bulsiewicz,MD called Fiber Fueled. I'm learning so much. Today is day 70 since I started learning to make meals just from plants. The more I learn about plantfueled eating,the better I feel about this decision. And this book is specifically about taking advantage of the body's capacity to cure itself. So my friend ordered the audio from the library and it will come in soon. He wants to learn about this too since he has serious autoimmune issues. That's why he lost his job and then his apartment.
Oscar is a young man I can help. I want him to heal,and find a job and a home again. I know he can do it. And I won't stop helping him until that happens. I told him that. Once my social security checks come in,I plan to make sure he gets Kroger cards every time I get paid so that he has plenty of healthy produce.
Oscar's page on social media is @MyHomelessMeals. More than anything,he shows gratitude for every single person who helps him on a daily basis. He always shares what we send if he can,too. He recently joined Service Space because he said their Mission Statement is_aligned_with his values. He's quite an exceptional young man.
[语篇解读] 记叙文。讲述了关于患有免疫系统疾病的年轻人Oscar的故事。
1.Why did the foods Oscar received make his disease worse?
A.They are rich in fat.
B.They are a little raw.
C.They are hard to digest.
D.They are not so fresh.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据第二段二、三句“Most of what is given out is past the sellby dates. He is always grateful for the food,but he has an autoimmune (自身免疫的) disease so these kinds of foods are really making it worse.”可知,觉得分发的多数食物过期了,即不新鲜,甚至变质。这让他的自身免疫疾病变得更糟糕。
2.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.The author introduced a proper book to Oscar.
B.Oscar's disease made him lose everything.
C.Oscar wanted to cure his disease quickly.
D.The author gave Oscar a book as a gift.
解析 A 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“I told him about the book I'm reading by Will Bulsiewicz,MD called Fiber Fueled.”可知,本段将对这本书展开介绍。
3.How will the author help Oscar cure his illness?
A.By helping Oscar get a wellpaid job.
B.By making sure Oscar can get healthy food.
C.By recommending some restaurants to Oscar.
D.By introducing Oscar to some famous doctors.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Once my social security checks come in,I plan to make sure he gets Kroger cards every time I get paid so that he has plenty of healthy produce.”可知,作者通过帮助获得健康新鲜食物来帮助Oscar。
4.What does the underlined part “is aligned with” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Transforms. B.Matches.
C.Allows. D.Controls.
解析 B 词句猜测题。根据最后一段倒数第二句,即划线句的前半部分“He recently joined Service Space”可知,Oscar加入了一个公益组织,可推测加入的原因是因为这个组织传递的价值观和他的一致,即互相匹配,故选B。
B
A study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts,published in Frontiers in Medicine,found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits. That's because these digital connections can make retirees feel less lonely and isolated (孤立的).
Social isolation has been associated with the risks for heart disease and the decline of recognition abilities in seniors,according to a press release from the university.
The researchers investigated the potential benefits of weekly virtual visits for a threemonth period. The participants were people aged 65 and older who lived in Montreal.Half of the participants took part in online visits and a discussion afterwards,while the control group did not participate in any cultural events at all.The group who participated in the virtual visits showed improvements in their quality of life.“Our study showed that artbased activities may be an effective intervention,”lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet,a professor at the University of Montreal,said in the press release.“On a global scale,this participatory artbased activity could become a model that could be offered in museums and arts institutions worldwide to promote active and healthy aging.”
The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases,according to Beauchet. For instance,the WHO launched the Aging and Health Program in 2015 that included using communitybased organizations to promote culture as a key component of improving health.Traditionally,these sorts of preventive health activities have taken place in schools,community centers,and workplaces.“While these are suitable locations that reach a great number of people,there are additional organizations and sectors that could become partners in public health research and practice development,”Beauchet said. “Museums are among such potential partners. They are aware of the needs of their communities and are consequently expanding the types of activities they offer.”
[语篇解读] 说明文。研究表明,频繁地在网上参观博物馆能够帮助老年人保持精神上的活跃,并能为老年人带来其他有利于健康的好处,因为这些数码联系能够使退休人员感觉不那么孤独和孤立。
5.How do seniors benefit from regular virtual visits to museums?
A.They get survival skills.
B.They raise interest in art.
C.They improve quality of life.
D.They connect more with family.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The group... showed improvements in their quality of life”可知,研究表明,那些参与虚拟参观的人在他们生活质量方面得到了改善,故C选项正确。
6.What can be inferred from Beauchet's words in paragraph 3 ?
A.Participants come from the whole world.
B.The museum needs better cultural events.
C.Facetoface discussion is a useful intervention.
D.Seniors should attend more artbased activities.
解析 D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘Our study showed that artbased activities may be an effective intervention,’lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet”可知,Beauchet认为他们的研究表明基于艺术的活动可能是一种有效的干预。所以可推知老年人应该多参加一些这样的活动。
7.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To advocate. B.To entertain.
C.To advertise. D.To warn.
解析 A 目的推断题。根据最后一段内容,尤其是“The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases” “Museums are among such potential partners... are consequently expanding the types of activities they offer”可知,在Beauchet看来,这一倡议反映了世界卫生组织推荐的管理某些疾病的方法。博物馆也可以变成公共健康研究和实践发展的合作者。博物馆也意识到他们的社区需要并最终扩大他们所提供的活动类型。由此可推知,作者写最后一段的目的是提倡老年人经常在网上参观博物馆。故选A项。
8.Which may be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Aged Form a Community to Reduce Loneliness
B.Virtual Artbased Activities Bring People Together
C.Online Museum Trips Improve Seniors' Wellbeing
D.Retired Individuals Pay More Visits to Museums
解析 C 主旨大意题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段中“A study from...found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active... health benefits”可知,文章主要讲了一个新的研究发现——频繁地在网上参观博物馆能够帮助老年人保持精神上的活跃,并能为老年人带来其他有利于健康的好处,故C选项正确。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·济宁模拟)As the snow melts and flowers begin to bloom,many of us look forward to experiencing warmer weather and brighter,longer days. __1__While the act of sorting and dusting aren't necessarily fun,getting the house cleaned and organized is good for your mental health for several reasons.
__2__Spring cleaning is an example of what psychologists refer to as “temporal landmarks”. Those are the moments in the time that signify a change,like a new term at school. A wellorganized or redecorated living room might help your brain make that shift that you're entering into a new phase of the year.
It gives you a sense of control. __3__Cleaning your house is a great way to achieve that. After all,you might not be able to control the price of groceries,but you can control how organized your desk is. And while you can't control the weather,you can control how comfortable your home feels.
It may set other good habits in motion. __4__Getting your house in order may motivate you to get other areas of your life in order. You might feel inspired to get more exercise now that you've removed the stuff on your treadmill(跑步机),or you might go to sleep earlier because your room feels more peaceful.
It can improve social life. If you've ever felt uneasy about the condition of your home to let anyone come inside,you're not alone. __5__However,a cleaner space might help you feel more comfortable about opening up your home to others.
A.It signals a fresh start.
B.Good habits can have a snowball effect.
C.You may experience anxiety when focusing on things you can't control.
D.We feel best when we take charge of the things that we do have control over.

F.But this season can also bring with it a sense of anticipation for spring cleaning.
G.Sometimes,the embarrassment of a messy house keeps people from hosting dinner parties.

2.解析 A 根据空后内容可知,本段主要讲述的是Spring cleaning是一种时间标志,可以让人感觉到处于一种新的状态。与A项“It signals a fresh start.”上下文一致,故选A。
3.解析 D 根据空前主题句“It gives you a sense of control.”与空后内容可知,对于那些我们无法控制的事情可能会感到焦虑,但是我们想要感到最好的状态就是掌握我们能够控制的事情。D项“We feel best when we take charge of the things that we do have control over.”与上下文一致,故选D。
4.解析 B 根据空前空后可知,清洁房间之后能够激励我们在生活中的其他方面也更有条理和计划,然后更加积极向上。与B项“Good habits can have a snowball effect.”上下文一致,故选B。
5.解析 G 根据空前“It can improve social life. If you've ever felt uneasy about the condition of your home to let anyone come inside,you're not alone.”可知,有些人因为家里乱,没有办法邀请客人过来。这对于很多人来说都是很棘手的问题。social life与G项“Sometimes,the embarrassment of a messy house keeps people from hosting dinner parties.”中hosting dinner parties为关键词,上下文一致,故选G。

(2024·石家庄质量检测)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。
I had been working in a game reserve (野生动物保护区) in South Africa for many years. Though a part of me longed for the busy familiarity of Paris,I knew my life was in South Africa.
One night there was a sharp knock on my door. I wasn't expecting a visitor. “Francoise? It's me,” a woman whispered. I threw open the door. “Amanda? What's wrong?”
Amanda,a thin young woman,was our chef. She motioned for me to come outside. “There's a baby Ellie here.”
“An elephant?”
“She's right over there,tiny and terrified.”
“It must be ET's baby daughter,” I said.
Amanda explained that she'd heard a noise outside her room. She'd taken her flashlight,opened the door and shined it across the garden. A tiny elephant stared back at her,eyes in terror. Not knowing what to do,Amanda had closed the door and climbed out of a back window to call me.
Elephants are fantastic mothers—ET would never leave her baby unattended. Apparently,the baby elephant had somehow slipped under the fence.
Amanda and I had to get her inside the house to keep her safe until we could get her back to her mother. Her frightened eyes stared at us through the leaves. I walked slowly toward the Ellie. She watched me but as soon as I was within touching distance,she ran behind the house. Amanda and I ran after her. Finally,we managed to corner the Ellie in the parking area. She stood completely still,head down and eyes flashing anxiously at any movement or sound. I tried approaching her again,and this time she didn't resist,allowing us to gently get her into my home.
I kept talking to her,telling her she was safe and that we would get her back to her mum. Then I called the reserve center for help and,to our relief,they promised to come right away.
注意:续写的词数应为150左右。
Realizing the Ellie might be thirsty,I told Amanda to get her some milk.

【参考范文】
Realizing the Ellie might be thirsty,I told Amanda to get her some milk. After Amanda poured the milk into a bowl and put it near Ellie,however,so nervous and frightened was Ellie that she stepped backward,hungrily looking at the milk. In order to relieve Ellie of her tense,we softly called her and drank some of the milk,signaling it was safe and tasty. When we placed the milk on the ground again and hid away,Ellie ate it up with caution. Knowing that we were safe and kind,Ellie gradually calmed down when we approached her.
Soon,we heard the sound of a truck on the dirt track. Out came two men after the truck pulled off. They reminded us that if her mother couldn't find her,she would attack people and village around and the best way was to send Ellie back as soon as possible. After toughly searching for Ellie's mother,we finally caught the glimpse of her figure,who was extremely unsettled and upset. Meanwhile,Ellie had already run off for her mother joyfully. We all relieved,seeing Ellie went out of sight with her mother.
