Today on “Talks of America”, we have a very special guest coming to the stage. Her name is Claire, and she’s here to talk to us about how she was able to overcome her difficult childhood. Claire’s father was killed in a car accident when she was six. Her mother had to go back to work, leaving Claire in charge of her three brothers. Claire was making meals, washing clothes, and cleaning the house all on her own. When Claire was eight, she went to live with her aunt and uncle to work on their farm. She had to get up early every morning to milk the cows and collect the eggs for breakfast, but she loved being outside and being around animals. In the evenings, she studied at a local school for farm workers, and she eventually received her high school degree just before her eighteenth birthday. Because of her hard work, the farm earned more money than it ever had, and Claire was able to save up enough money to get an apartment in the city. She started attending college, graduating with a degree in biology and eventually a Ph. D. in engineering. Finally, she bought her mother the house of her dreams. Today, we’re going to hear more about her amazing story. Please welcome Claire to the stage! 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 Summer Camps Kildinan Park Dale Farm Situated close to the historic town of Battle in East Sussex, south-east England, Kildinan Park Dale Farm offers horse enthusiasts (aged 10—18) around the world a chance to learn English language and skills of horse-riding.

Using the Japanese craft of kintsugi, an ancient method of repairing pottery with gold, Solomon filled in the cracks of a run-down basketball court in South Los Angeles. In the process, he transformed the forgotten bit of concrete into something eye-catching and functional. He highlighted the court’s weak points instead of hiding them. Basketball has been a frequent source for Solomon. But he’s far from alone. Over the past five years, basketball courts, some previously in disrepair or disuse, have been frequent canvases for public art. The work, from famous creators like Solomon as well as nonprofit organizations and art collectives, uses the courts to comment on the interconnected dynamics of race, class, and changing communities. Artists say they’re drawn to basketball as inspiration because of the game itself—a sport described as a universally accessible, race-indifferent platform. For other artists, that functionality—the opportunity to produce a useful public resource —is as important as the aesthetics (美感). DanPeterson is founding director of Project Backboard, an organization that changes old basketball courts into eye-catching murals (壁画) that double as durable public recreation spaces. Since its founding in 2014, Project Backboard has made more than 20 courts active, using work by 17 artists, in locations around the US including Memphis, St. Louis, Los Angeles, and Baltimore. Repairs are done with the same material used to repair public tennis courts, ensuring they will hold up for years to come. “The thing about the sport and the court itself is that it is indifferent to class or race or background of people it’s surrounded by,” says Vannatter. “These are meaningful contributions of public art in places that maybe would never have access to art.” 24. What inspired Solomon’s filling in the cracks of a basketball court? A. The return of the NBA season. B. An ancient method of repairing gold. C. The Japanese craft of kintsugi. D. The way to hide weak points. 25. What did artists do with the abandoned basketball courts? A. Repair them to be the same as before. B. Transform them into art works to appreciate. C. Pull them down to make room for museums. D. Rebuild them for basketball fans to play there. 26. Why were artists attracted by basketball? A. Because basketball was a universally accessible platform. B. Because basketball was more important than other sports. C. Because too many abandoned basketball courts need repairing. D. Because they liked to play basketball when they were young. 27. What can we infer from the text? A. Abandoned basketball courts are used to store goods. B. Old basketball courts are painted into murals for profits. C. Old basketball courts are served as public recreation spaces. D. More and more artists tend to get inspiration from old objects. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。艺术家维克托·所罗门利用日本古老的金缮修复工艺，将破旧的篮球场改造成了艺术品。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句话“Using the Japanese craft of kintsugi, an ancient method of repairing pottery with gold, Solomon filled in the cracks of a run-down basketball court in South Los Angeles.(所罗门使用日本的金缮修复工艺，一种用黄金修复陶器的古老方法，填补了南洛杉矶一个破旧篮球场的裂缝。)”可知，日本的金缮修复工艺启发了Solomon修补篮球场的裂缝的方式。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over the past five years, basketball courts, some previously in disrepair or disuse, have been frequent canvases for public art. The work, from famous creators like Solomon as well as nonprofit organizations and art collectives, uses the courts to comment on the interconnected dynamics of race, class, and changing communities.(在过去的五年里，篮球场（有些以前年久失修或废弃）经常成为公共艺术的画布。这幅作品来自所罗门等著名创作者以及非营利组织和艺术集体，利用篮球场来评论种族、阶级和不断变化的社区的相互关联的动态。)”可知，所罗门（Solomon）等名人创作者以及非营利组织和艺术团体，利用废弃的篮球场来改造成艺术品。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Artists say they’re drawn to basketball as inspiration because of the game itself—a sport described as a universally accessible, race-indifferent platform.(艺术家们表示，他们之所以被篮球作为灵感来源，是因为这项运动本身——这项运动被描述为一个普遍可及的、与种族无关的平台。)”可知，艺术家们说，他们被篮球吸引并把它作为灵感来源，是因为这项运动被描述为一个普遍普及、不分种族的平台。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“DanPeterson is founding director of Project Backboard, an organization that changes old basketball courts into eye-catching murals(壁画)that double as durable public recreation spaces.(DanPeterson是Project Backboard的创始董事，该组织将旧的篮球场改造成引人注目的壁画，兼作耐用的公共娱乐空间。)”可知。该组织将旧篮球场翻新成引人注目的壁画，同时作为耐用的公共娱乐空间。故选C项。 C For many Generation Z students who are thinking about their future careers, the answer is clear: disposing of the climate crisis. Multiple surveys have found that enormous numbers of students and professionals under 25 are pursuing environmental-related degrees and careers. This shift in career aspirations (抱负) among the world’s youngest workers is a reflection of the heightened sense of climate awareness among Generation Z and even Generation Alpha — the generation of children born between 2011 and 2025. A 2021 Pew Research survey found that among Generation Z individuals, 76 percent of them cited climate change as one of their biggest social concerns, and 32 percent participated in at least one major environmental action last year. Seeing the demand for climate action and training among students, universities are matching their interests with initiatives like the university of Southern California’s Sustainability Across the Curriculum programme. The programme aims to teach students from all disciplines how their majors intersect (与……相关联) with sustainability and the environment. Christopher Schlottmann, the global curriculum coordinator (课程协调员) at New York University’s Environmental Studies programme explains to The Guardian that the long-standing opinion that environmental careers don’t pay well is also changing. “There’s a general belief that if you do good for the world, nobody’s going to pay you to do it. I don’t think that’s that accurate,” he says. “If you understand how climate change works, then a bank should actually really want to talk to you because they want to reduce their risk.” The United States Bureau of Labour Statistics predicts that job opportunities for environmental scientists and “related specialists” will grow by eight percent over the next decade. This change is expected to be pushed along by the establishment of the proposed Civilian Climate Corps, a programme which would help young people fight the climate crisis and conserve public lands with training and job placement. Climate change is a tough challenge, but climate awareness and determination grow with each generation and this progress demonstrates that the youngest citizens are staking (拿……当赌注) their future on a healthier planet. 28. Which word has similar meaning with the underlined phrase “disposing of” in Paragraph 1? A. Delivering. B. Applying. C. Handling. D. Promoting. 29. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. Generation Alpha is smarter than Generation Z. B. Generation Alpha is the most concerned about environmental issues. C. Young generation has grown to choose environmental-related careers. D. The climate crisis won’t be settled unless people take effective action. 30. What do Schlottmann’s words mean in Paragraph 4? A. Generation Z won’t change environment at all. B. Environmental careers will play an increasingly important role. C. No one can change climate as it is a natural phenomenon. D. The bank will pay you if you choose environmental-related careers. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards careers for Generation Z? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。对“Z一代”来说，他们越来越关注气候变化，选择环境相关职业。大学推出相关课程，环境职业薪酬观念正改变。预计未来十年环境科学家需求将增长8%，民间气候军团计划将助力年轻人参与气候行动。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“For many Generation Z students who are thinking about their future careers, the answer is clear: disposing of the climate crisis. Multiple surveys have found that enormous numbers of students and professionals under 25 are pursuing environmental-related degrees and careers.(对于许多正在考虑未来职业的Z一代学生来说，答案很清楚：disposing of气候危机。多项调查发现，大量25岁以下的学生和专业人士正在攻读与环境相关的学位和职业。)”可知，大量25岁以下的学生和专业人士正在攻读与环境相关的学位和职业，这是为了解决气候危机，划线短语后宾语是“the climate crisis(气候危机)”，所以disposing of在本句中意为“解决”，与handling意思相同。故选C项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。第二段谈到“the heightened sense of climate awareness among Generation Z and even Generation Alpha — the generation of children born between 2011 and 2025(Z世代和甚至阿尔法世代(出生于2011年到2025年之间的孩子们)对气候变化意识的增强")”以及“76 percent of them cited climate change as one of their biggest social concerns(Z一代认为气候变化是他们最关心的社会问题之一)”可知，第二段主要讲，越来越多的年轻的一代对于气候变化问题越来越关注，同时更愿意选择气候相关的职业。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Schlottmann的话“‘There’s a general belief that if you do good for the world, nobody’s going to pay you to do it. I don’t think that’s that accurate,’ he says. ‘If you understand how climate change works, then a bank should actually really want to talk to you because they want to reduce their risk.’(“人们普遍认为，如果你为世界做了好事，没有人会付钱给你。我认为这并不准确，”他说。“如果你了解气候变化是如何运作的，那么银行应该真的想和你谈谈，因为他们想降低风险。”)”可知，与环保相关的专业在世界上起着越来越重要的作用，故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文第一段“Multiple surveys have found that enormous numbers of students and professionals under 25 are pursuing environmental-related degrees and careers.(多种研究显示大量25岁以下的学生和专业人士正在追求与环境相关的学位和职业)”以及最后一段“Climate change is a tough challenge, but climate awareness and determination grow with each generation and this progress demonstrates that the youngest citizens are staking (拿……当赌注) their future on a healthier planet.(气候变化是一项艰巨的挑战，但气候意识和决心与日俱增，最年轻的公民正把他们的未来押在一个更健康的星球上。)”可知，作者对于“Z一代”的未来职业充满希望。故选D项。 D Adding just a few plants to a bare front garden can lower stress levels and help people feel happier, research suggests. Researchers introduced decorative plants such as juniper, azaleas, clematis, lavender, daffodil bulbs and petunias into small bare front yards in economically backward streets in Salford, Greater Manchester. The study by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and the universities of Sheffield, Westminster and Virginia in the US then measured the stress levels of residents taking part in the experiment and asked them how they felt. Each residents could receive one tree, one climber and enough smaller plants and bedding plants to fill two containers. They were not required to look after the plants, as the containers were “self-watering” with a 22-litre in-built reservoir (蓄水池) of water, but they were encouraged to take part in gardening their plots (小块地), with help from the RHS advisory team. The team measured residents’ cortisol (皮质醇) — the key stress response hormone (激素) — before and after the plants were added, and found a higher proportion(比例) of healthy daytime cortisol patterns after planting, suggesting they had a better health state. The research found only 24 per cent of residents had healthy cortisol patterns before the plants went in, but over the year following the greening of the front gardens, this increased to 53 per cent. More in-depth interviews showed the garden motivated people to do more gardening and repair and paint other areas of their homes and gardens. They also found gardening is relaxing and that it gave them a sense of pride in their homes, and all of them reported the plants made them feel more cheerful and lifted their spirits when they looked at them. “The stress reduction data is amazing, in that we found such a significant response with just a relatively small number of plants. We can now further evidence the vital need to include plants in our front gardens and domestic spaces,” said Dr Lauriane Suyin Chalmin-Pui, who conducted the research as part of her PhD. 32. What’s the text mainly about? A. A way to design bare front gardens. B. A tip for lowering the level of cortisol. C. The economic value of decorative plants. D. The positive effect of plants on humans’ health. 33. How can researchers conclude the plants’ influence on people? A. By testing the growing of bedding plants. B. By discovering subjects’ ways of gardening plots. C. By measuring the area of subjects’ front gardens. D. By observing the amount of a chemical substance. 34. What does the last paragraph suggest? A. Researchers should provide further evidence. B. Only front gardens are ideal places for gardening. C. People should garden outside or inside their homes. D. A small number of plants have little influence on stress reduction. 35. Where is this text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A magazine of science. D. A novel. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了研究人员通过实验证明植物对缓解人的压力有作用，建议人们可以在家里家外种些植物以促进自己的身体健康。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合首段“Adding just a few plants to a bare front garden can lower stress levels and help people feel happier, research suggests. (研究表明，在光秃秃的前花园种一些植物可以降低压力水平，让人们感觉更快乐。)”可知，本文主要介绍了植物能缓解人的压力，促进人的健康，说明了植物对人类健康的积极影响。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The team measured residents’ cortisol (皮质醇) — the key stress response hormone (激素) — before and after the plants were added, and found a higher proportion(比例) of healthy daytime cortisol patterns after planting, suggesting they had a better health state. (研究小组在种植植物前后测量了居民的皮质醇——关键的应激反应激素，发现种植植物后，健康的白天皮质醇模式比例更高，这表明他们的健康状况更好。)”可知，研究人员通过观察人体内皮质醇的量的变化来判断植物是否能缓解人的压力。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文末段““The stress reduction data is amazing, in that we found such a significant response with just a relatively small number of plants. We can now further evidence the vital need to include plants in our front gardens and domestic spaces,” said Dr Lauriane Suyin Chalmin-Pui, who conducted the research as part of her PhD. (“减少压力的数据是惊人的，因为我们发现只有相对较少的植物有如此显著的反应。我们现在可以进一步证明，在我们的前花园和家庭空间种植植物是至关重要的，”主持这项研究的劳里安·苏茵·查尔敏·贝博士说。)”可知，在花园和家庭空间种植植物是至关重要，所以最后一段建议人们应该在室外或室内种植花园。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“Adding just a few plants to a bare front garden can lower stress levels and help people feel happier, research suggests. (研究表明，在光秃秃的前花园种一些植物可以降低压力水平，让人们感觉更快乐。)”可推知，文章介绍的是一项关于植物对人类的影响的研究，所以应出自科学类杂志。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 When I attended high school, I studied Spanish for four years — mainly because it was a requirement. When I landed a job working in restaurant management at a location with a nearly 100% Hispanic staff, I immediately regretted my lack of commitment when I was younger. Through some online help and a lot of assistance from my workers, however, I eventually became fluent in Spanish. ____36____, there are several great reasons to do so. Improve Intelligence Research conducted at York University in Toronto, Canada found that people who studied a second language scored higher on standardized testing compared to those who did not. ____37____.

Every Sunday morning, I go jogging in this park. As I circle the lake, I notice an elderly woman sitting by the water with a metal cage beside her. Today, my curiosity made me stop and approach her. As I took a closer look, I saw that the cage was actually a small metal trap, and there were a few turtles walking around the trap, unharmed. The lady took one of the turtles in her hands and gently rubbed the shell (壳) with a sponge (海绵) brush. I came over to say hello to her politely. “Good morning,” I said. “I come here for jogging every Sunday morning and I see you sitting here by the lake. Please don’t mind my curiosity and innocence, but I really want to know what you’re doing to the turtles.” The lady smiled and said, “I am cleaning the turtle’s shell. Turtles gradually get more and more algae (水藻) and other dirt on their shells, which weighs them down and prevents their swimming abilities. It also reduces their ability to absorb heat. Over time, their shells become weak and rot (腐烂) away.” “Oh wow! That’s really thoughtful of you!” I shouted in shock. She continued, “Every Sunday morning, I spend a couple of hours by the lake to relax and help out these little guys stay clean. Strange as it sounds, this is my little way to make a difference in the world.” I thought for a while and said, “But all freshwater turtles have algae and other dirt on their shells. They live with that their whole lives, don’t they?” “Yes, sadly, they can’t help it,” she replied. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, I wasn’t completely sure whether it was worthwhile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Can I help you clean the turtles?” I asked the lady. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: However, I wasn’t completely sure whether it was worthwhile. “I appreciate your kind efforts, but don’t you think your time could be better spent? And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells, are your efforts really making an impact?” The lady laughed out loud, then looked up at me and said, “Dear, if this little one could speak, he’d gladly tell you that my care towards him makes a big difference in the world.” Her words made me understand one important lesson in life. Every little act of kindness counts. “Can I help you clean the turtles?” I asked the lady. “Of course, you can,” she nodded and said with pleasure. She taught me patiently and told me how to make the turtles clean again. “You should rub the shell of them gently, otherwise you will hurt them,” she reminded me. I picked up a little turtle, trying to imitate her and using the sponge brush to clean the shell. With the algae and scum got rid of, the turtle looked relaxed and joyful.

Using the Japanese craft of kintsugi, an ancient method of repairing pottery with gold, Solomon filled in the cracks of a run-down basketball court in South Los Angeles. In the process, he transformed the forgotten bit of concrete into something eye-catching and functional. He highlighted the court’s weak points instead of hiding them. Basketball has been a frequent source for Solomon. But he’s far from alone. Over the past five years, basketball courts, some previously in disrepair or disuse, have been frequent canvases for public art. The work, from famous creators like Solomon as well as nonprofit organizations and art collectives, uses the courts to comment on the interconnected dynamics of race, class, and changing communities. Artists say they’re drawn to basketball as inspiration because of the game itself—a sport described as a universally accessible, race-indifferent platform. For other artists, that functionality—the opportunity to produce a useful public resource —is as important as the aesthetics (美感). DanPeterson is founding director of Project Backboard, an organization that changes old basketball courts into eye-catching murals (壁画) that double as durable public recreation spaces. Since its founding in 2014, Project Backboard has made more than 20 courts active, using work by 17 artists, in locations around the US including Memphis, St. Louis, Los Angeles, and Baltimore. Repairs are done with the same material used to repair public tennis courts, ensuring they will hold up for years to come. “The thing about the sport and the court itself is that it is indifferent to class or race or background of people it’s surrounded by,” says Vannatter. “These are meaningful contributions of public art in places that maybe would never have access to art.” 24. What inspired Solomon’s filling in the cracks of a basketball court? A. The return of the NBA season. B. An ancient method of repairing gold. C. The Japanese craft of kintsugi. D. The way to hide weak points. 25. What did artists do with the abandoned basketball courts? A. Repair them to be the same as before. B. Transform them into art works to appreciate. C. Pull them down to make room for museums. D. Rebuild them for basketball fans to play there. 26. Why were artists attracted by basketball? A. Because basketball was a universally accessible platform. B. Because basketball was more important than other sports. C. Because too many abandoned basketball courts need repairing. D. Because they liked to play basketball when they were young. 27. What can we infer from the text? A. Abandoned basketball courts are used to store goods. B. Old basketball courts are painted into murals for profits. C. Old basketball courts are served as public recreation spaces. D. More and more artists tend to get inspiration from old objects. C For many Generation Z students who are thinking about their future careers, the answer is clear: disposing of the climate crisis. Multiple surveys have found that enormous numbers of students and professionals under 25 are pursuing environmental-related degrees and careers. This shift in career aspirations (抱负) among the world’s youngest workers is a reflection of the heightened sense of climate awareness among Generation Z and even Generation Alpha — the generation of children born between 2011 and 2025. A 2021 Pew Research survey found that among Generation Z individuals, 76 percent of them cited climate change as one of their biggest social concerns, and 32 percent participated in at least one major environmental action last year. Seeing the demand for climate action and training among students, universities are matching their interests with initiatives like the university of Southern California’s Sustainability Across the Curriculum programme. The programme aims to teach students from all disciplines how their majors intersect (与……相关联) with sustainability and the environment. Christopher Schlottmann, the global curriculum coordinator (课程协调员) at New York University’s Environmental Studies programme explains to The Guardian that the long-standing opinion that environmental careers don’t pay well is also changing. “There’s a general belief that if you do good for the world, nobody’s going to pay you to do it. I don’t think that’s that accurate,” he says. “If you understand how climate change works, then a bank should actually really want to talk to you because they want to reduce their risk.” The United States Bureau of Labour Statistics predicts that job opportunities for environmental scientists and “related specialists” will grow by eight percent over the next decade. This change is expected to be pushed along by the establishment of the proposed Civilian Climate Corps, a programme which would help young people fight the climate crisis and conserve public lands with training and job placement. Climate change is a tough challenge, but climate awareness and determination grow with each generation and this progress demonstrates that the youngest citizens are staking (拿……当赌注) their future on a healthier planet. 28. Which word has similar meaning with the underlined phrase “disposing of” in Paragraph 1? A. Delivering. B. Applying. C. Handling. D. Promoting. 29. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. Generation Alpha is smarter than Generation Z. B. Generation Alpha is the most concerned about environmental issues. C. Young generation has grown to choose environmental-related careers. D. The climate crisis won’t be settled unless people take effective action. 30. What do Schlottmann’s words mean in Paragraph 4? A. Generation Z won’t change environment at all. B. Environmental careers will play an increasingly important role. C. No one can change climate as it is a natural phenomenon. D. The bank will pay you if you choose environmental-related careers. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards careers for Generation Z? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful. D Adding just a few plants to a bare front garden can lower stress levels and help people feel happier, research suggests. Researchers introduced decorative plants such as juniper, azaleas, clematis, lavender, daffodil bulbs and petunias into small bare front yards in economically backward streets in Salford, Greater Manchester. The study by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and the universities of Sheffield, Westminster and Virginia in the US then measured the stress levels of residents taking part in the experiment and asked them how they felt. Each residents could receive one tree, one climber and enough smaller plants and bedding plants to fill two containers. They were not required to look after the plants, as the containers were “self-watering” with a 22-litre in-built reservoir (蓄水池) of water, but they were encouraged to take part in gardening their plots (小块地), with help from the RHS advisory team. The team measured residents’ cortisol (皮质醇) — the key stress response hormone (激素) — before and after the plants were added, and found a higher proportion(比例) of healthy daytime cortisol patterns after planting, suggesting they had a better health state. The research found only 24 per cent of residents had healthy cortisol patterns before the plants went in, but over the year following the greening of the front gardens, this increased to 53 per cent. More in-depth interviews showed the garden motivated people to do more gardening and repair and paint other areas of their homes and gardens. They also found gardening is relaxing and that it gave them a sense of pride in their homes, and all of them reported the plants made them feel more cheerful and lifted their spirits when they looked at them. “The stress reduction data is amazing, in that we found such a significant response with just a relatively small number of plants. We can now further evidence the vital need to include plants in our front gardens and domestic spaces,” said Dr Lauriane Suyin Chalmin-Pui, who conducted the research as part of her PhD. 32. What’s the text mainly about? A. A way to design bare front gardens. B A tip for lowering the level of cortisol. C. The economic value of decorative plants. D. The positive effect of plants on humans’ health. 33. How can researchers conclude the plants’ influence on people? A. By testing the growing of bedding plants. B. By discovering subjects’ ways of gardening plots. C. By measuring the area of subjects’ front gardens. D. By observing the amount of a chemical substance. 34 What does the last paragraph suggest? A. Researchers should provide further evidence. B. Only front gardens are ideal places for gardening. C. People should garden outside or inside their homes. D. A small number of plants have little influence on stress reduction. 35. Where is this text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A magazine of science. D. A novel. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 When I attended high school, I studied Spanish for four years — mainly because it was a requirement.

Every Sunday morning, I go jogging in this park. As I circle the lake, I notice an elderly woman sitting by the water with a metal cage beside her. Today, my curiosity made me stop and approach her. As I took a closer look, I saw that the cage was actually a small metal trap, and there were a few turtles walking around the trap, unharmed. The lady took one of the turtles in her hands and gently rubbed the shell (壳) with a sponge (海绵) brush. I came over to say hello to her politely. “Good morning,” I said. “I come here for jogging every Sunday morning and I see you sitting here by the lake. Please don’t mind my curiosity and innocence, but I really want to know what you’re doing to the turtles.” The lady smiled and said, “I am cleaning the turtle’s shell. Turtles gradually get more and more algae (水藻) and other dirt on their shells, which weighs them down and prevents their swimming abilities. It also reduces their ability to absorb heat. Over time, their shells become weak and rot (腐烂) away.” “Oh wow! That’s really thoughtful of you!” I shouted in shock. She continued, “Every Sunday morning, I spend a couple of hours by the lake to relax and help out these little guys stay clean. Strange as it sounds, this is my little way to make a difference in the world.” I thought for a while and said, “But all freshwater turtles have algae and other dirt on their shells. They live with that their whole lives, don’t they?” “Yes, sadly, they can’t help it,” she replied. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, I wasn’t completely sure whether it was worthwhile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Can I help you clean the turtles?” I asked the lady. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
