When 19-year-old Emily Bhatnagar from Maryland, USA, found out her father had stage four thyroid (甲状腺) cancer, her response was a little different than you might expect. To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer.
“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app called Nextdoor asking my neighbours for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly incredible, and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my grief rather than letting it consume me.
“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose combined with an even greater sense of compassion (同情) to help others in any shape or form. I wanted to help kids. They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”
Using tips she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Emily has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her Amazon wish list, which can be found in the bio of the book drive’s Instagram account.
Emily and her older brother spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into their car. “It was such an honour knowing people have carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to gift it to my cause.”
The project has seen huge success, with For Love and Buttercup donating over 15,000 books and being recognized by The Washington Post, Forbes, The President’s Volunteer Service Award and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation.
4. Why did Emily decide to start a book drive?
A. To show respect for her sick father. B. To raise money for kids with cancer.
C. To recycle used books from neighbours. D. To draw more attention from the media.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
8. The passage begins with two questions to ________.
A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude
C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information
9. What can we learn about the first experiment?
A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
10. In transactive memory, people ________.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
11. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A. We are using memory differently.
B We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.
D
A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. The report also showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the statement that “the future is frightening.” This, and many other studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the environment. It also poses a very real threat to our mental health.
Psychologists have classified these feelings of sadness, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “intense physical and mental discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system.”
Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people. It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown.
In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience mental distress.
The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external. According to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good-as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in 2024, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek sustainable development. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy—we will solve it by taking action.
12. What does the underlined word “distress” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Shock. B. Anxiety. C. Happiness. D. Anger.
13. What is eco-anxiety according to the Climate Psychology Alliance?
A. It is a strong reaction to the natural disasters.
B. It is a kind of mental disease for the young people.
C. It is a physical and mental discomfort when we meet difficulties.
D. It is a strong physical and mental discomfort for the dangerous climate changes.
14. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. The process of eco-anxiety. B. The impact of eco-anxiety.
C. The causes of eco-anxiety. D. The benefits of eco-anxiety.
15. What’s the approach to solving eco-anxiety according to Caroline Hickman?
A. Defeat it with a therapy. B. Just wait for a good solution.
C. Join the fight for climate justice. D. Use it to urge people to protect our earth.

52. 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 Saturday. Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was a Saturday because the mall was packed with people.
I was with my mom. Mom is short and skinny. It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see.
On that day, we wondered in the mall, peeking at fancy shops in fleeting (短暂的) glances, because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always.
I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore 5-inch heels that click importantly on the floor and bright clothing. Men strode by smelling of sharp cologne (古龙香水), faces clear of wrinkles - wiped away with expensive creams.
An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer: I was ashamed of my mother.
I could see the heavy lines around mom’s eyes and the mouth, deep into her skin without luxurious lotions to ease them away. She wore cheap, ragged clothes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair too gray for her age.
I looked at her, and I was ashamed. My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain.
I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. Telling her I’d meet her at the clothes outlet around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. When I finally made my way to the outlet, I found that mom wasn’t there. “She must be in some second-hand store.” I thought to myself.
But I couldn’t have been more wrong. Mom was standing in the middle of a high-end store, holding a sweater that looked much too expensive. “This will look good on you. Do you want it?”
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。
It was too much expensive. And I almost agreed, carelessly, thoughtlessly.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself. “Do you want it?” My mom repeated. “No, thanks.”

When 19-year-old Emily Bhatnagar from Maryland, USA, found out her father had stage four thyroid (甲状腺) cancer, her response was a little different than you might expect. To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer.
“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app called Nextdoor asking my neighbours for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly incredible, and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my grief rather than letting it consume me.
“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose combined with an even greater sense of compassion (同情) to help others in any shape or form. I wanted to help kids. They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”
Using tips she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Emily has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her Amazon wish list, which can be found in the bio of the book drive’s Instagram account.
Emily and her older brother spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into their car. “It was such an honour knowing people have carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to gift it to my cause.”
The project has seen huge success, with For Love and Buttercup donating over 15,000 books and being recognized by The Washington Post, Forbes, The President’s Volunteer Service Award and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
8. The passage begins with two questions to ________.
A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude
C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information
9. What can we learn about the first experiment?
A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
10. In transactive memory, people ________.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
11. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A

A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. The report also showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the statement that “the future is frightening.” This, and many other studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the environment. It also poses a very real threat to our mental health.
Psychologists have classified these feelings of sadness distress, and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “intense physical and mental discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system.”
Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people. It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown.
In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience mental distress.
The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external. According to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good-as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in 2024, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek sustainable development. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy—we will solve it by taking action.
12. What does the underlined word “distress” in paragraph 1 mean?
A Shock. B. Anxiety. C. Happiness. D. Anger.
13. What is eco-anxiety according to the Climate Psychology Alliance?
A. It is a strong reaction to the natural disasters.
B. It is a kind of mental disease for the young people.
C. It is a physical and mental discomfort when we meet difficulties.
D. It is a strong physical and mental discomfort for the dangerous climate changes.
14. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. The process of eco-anxiety. B. The impact of eco-anxiety.
C. The causes of eco-anxiety. D. The benefits of eco-anxiety.
15. What’s the approach to solving eco-anxiety according to Caroline Hickman?
A. Defeat it with a therapy. B. Just wait for a good solution.
C. Join the fight for climate justice. D. Use it to urge people to protect our earth.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D

【答案】being caught
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:为了逃避抓捕,小偷藏匿在树林中。escape doing sth.固定搭配,意为“逃避做某事”,catch和主语the thief是被动关系,应用动名词的被动语态,故填being caught。

48. The sourness of a moment earlier was gone, a warmth and gratitude ______ (replace) it. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】replacing
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:之前的酸楚感消失了,取而代之的是一种温暖和感激之情。空处为需要非谓语动词,和前面的“a warmth and gratitude”构成独立主格结构,在句中作状语。该动词和其逻辑主语之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词表示主动。故填replacing。
49. An amusement park is ______ construction and will be open to the public in June. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】under
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语。句意:一座游乐园正在建设中,将于六月向公众开放。under construction“正在建设中”,该介词短语在句中作表语。故填under。

【答案】lying
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意:30%的美国青少年承认为了成功访问某些网站而谎报他们的年龄。admit doing sth.“承认做某事”,所以空处需要动名词的形式作宾语。故填lying。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
52. 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 Saturday. Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was a Saturday because the mall was packed with people.
I was with my mom. Mom is short and skinny. It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see.
On that day, we wondered in the mall, peeking at fancy shops in fleeting (短暂的) glances, because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always.
I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore 5-inch heels that click importantly on the floor and bright clothing. Men strode by smelling of sharp cologne (古龙香水), faces clear of wrinkles - wiped away with expensive creams.
An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer: I was ashamed of my mother.
I could see the heavy lines around mom’s eyes and the mouth, deep into her skin without luxurious lotions to ease them away. She wore cheap, ragged clothes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair too gray for her age.
I looked at her, and I was ashamed. My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain.
I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. Telling her I’d meet her at the clothes outlet around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. When I finally made my way to the outlet, I found that mom wasn’t there. “She must be in some second-hand store.” I thought to myself.
But I couldn’t have been more wrong. Mom was standing in the middle of a high-end store, holding a sweater that looked much too expensive. “This will look good on you. Do you want it?”
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。
It was too much expensive. And I almost agreed, carelessly, thoughtlessly.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself. “Do you want it?” My mom repeated. “No, thanks.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 It was too much expensive. And I almost agreed, carelessly, thoughtlessly. Then I took a closer look at the small, weary woman with a big smile stretching across her narrow face and a shiny sweater in her rough hands, happy to be giving me something so nice, and my words died in my throat. Her clothes were tattered and old because she spent her money buying me new ones. She looked so tired and ragged all the time because she was busy working to provide for me. She didn’t wear jewelry or scented perfumes because she spent all she had on me.
I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself. “Do you want it?” My mom repeated. “No, thanks.” I responded, hardly containing my tears and the strangled voice, “It’s not worth it.” I wanted to confide to Mom: it’s not worth the hard-earn money and it’s not worth buying it for her daughter who should be ashamed of a plainly-looking yet devoted mother. Holding Mom’srough but warm hands tightly, I was determined secretly to buy a delicate sweater for her. Mom is more than extraordinary in my eyes.
