From the deserts of Southern California to the forests of Alaska, the U. S. possesses a diversity (多样性) of nature. For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U. S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa.
“When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea inspired their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realized that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the amazing places they were able to visit.
Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa.
“I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And you’re your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U. S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling.

Some of us like to keep some things private — maybe we don’t want people knowing about our relationship, our age or where we live — because these details are personal. The problem is, everywhere we go online, we seem to leave a digital footprint.
On our social media accounts, we often present things like our opinions, connections and holiday photos. The issue is, how do we stop everybody seeing everything? Maybe we don’t want a stranger knowing our favourite type of coffee. And cookies — there was a time they were just something nice to eat. Now they seem to appear unexpectedly on websites. So how can you stay more private?
There are some steps you can take. First, on your social media accounts, check your privacy settings. Many social media sites allow everything to be seen by default (默认), and the responsibility is on you to set your boundaries. And limiting the amount you share isn’t only confined (局限于) to social media. There are many sites out there that help you to share documents — so a good tip may be not to put anything too private, like passwords, on there. One careless click may send it to the wrong person.
Finally, cookies are designed to improve your surfing experience by tracking and saving information about your visits to a site, helping to personalise your sessions. Deleting (删除) your using history may help, but there are certain apps which can block them if you don’t feel comfortable.
So, if you want to maintain your privacy online, maybe only share things you’d be happy with a stranger seeing — and if you don’t feel comfortable with cookies, you might decide to apply some tech to block them. If that’s not enough, just don’t accept them and visit another site — and why not have a yummy cookie to eat instead?
8. What is the article aimed at?
A. Reminding you to update information.
B. Advising you to maintain privacy online.
C. Encouraging you to live a simple digital life.
D. Warning you to delete social media accounts.
9. Why is it important to check privacy settings on social media accounts?
A. To increase the number of followers.
B. To block all the cookies from tracking.
C. To limit the amount of information shared.
D. To prevent strangers from viewing using history.
10. Which step does the author suggest readers take to stay more private?
A. Disable some social media sites.
B. Share passwords with familiar ones.
C. Store documents on public sites.
D. Use suitable apps to block cookies.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Concerns for personal privacy. B. Recommendation of private apps.
C. Suggestions for protecting privacy. D. Application of high technologies.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要通过阐述在线隐私泄露的问题,分析了数字足迹的产生,特别是在社交媒体上的信息分享、cookies的追踪功能,进而提出了一系列实用的建议和措施来帮助读者维护其网络隐私。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“Some of us like to keep some things private—maybe we don’t want people knowing about our relationship, our age or where we live—because these details are personal. The problem is, everywhere we go online, we seem to leave a digital footprint. (我们中的一些人喜欢把一些事情保密——也许我们不想让别人知道我们的关系,我们的年龄或我们住在哪里——因为这些细节是私人的。问题是,无论我们在哪里上网,我们似乎都会留下数字足迹)”可知,第一段提到个人隐私问题,以及第三段中“There are some steps you can take. (你可以采取一些措施。)”可知,这篇文章旨在建议读者维护在线隐私。故选B。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“First, on your social media accounts, check your privacy settings. Many social media sites allow everything to be seen by default (默认), and the responsibility is on you to set your boundaries. And limiting the amount you share isn’t only confined (局限于) to social media. (首先,在你的社交媒体账户上,检查你的隐私设置。许多社交媒体网站默认允许所有内容被看到,你有责任设定你的界限。)”可知,检查社交媒体上的隐私设置很重要是因为可以限制分享的信息量。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Deleting (删除) your using history may help, but there are certain apps which can block them if you don’t feel comfortable. (删除你的使用记录可能会有所帮助,但如果你觉得不舒服,有些应用程序可以阻止它们。)”可知,如果对cookies感到不舒服,可以使用特定的应用程序来阻止它们。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, if you want to maintain your privacy online, maybe only share things you’d be happy with a stranger seeing—and if you don’t feel comfortable with cookies, you might decide to apply some tech to block them. If that’s not enough, just don’t accept them and visit another site —and why not have a yummy cookie to eat instead? (所以,如果你想在网上保护你的隐私,也许只分享那些你愿意让陌生人看到的东西——如果你对cookie感到不舒服,你可能会决定应用一些技术来阻止它们。如果这还不够,那就不要接受他们,访问另一个网站——为什么不吃一块美味的饼干呢?)”可知,最后一段主要提供了两个实际操作的建议来保护隐私:一是如果想要在网上保持隐私,只分享与陌生人可见也舒适的内容;二是如果不舒服于cookies,可以使用技术手段阻止它们,或者选择不接受并访问其他网站。因此,这一段主要是关于保护隐私的建议。故选C。
D
It is a well-known fact that not all animals have the ability to instantly recognize themselves in the mirror. However, a few animals can recognize themselves, such as dolphins, Asian elephants, and of course humans! A species of fish with the ability to recognize itself in the mirror is commonly known as the cleaner fish.
Found in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, cleaner fish exist as “cleaning stations” for other fish (known as hosts). They “clean” the dead skin and parasites (寄生虫) from other fish. This is of benefit for cleaner fish, which get a meal, as well as for the other fish species, which are freed from parasites. Such a type of relationship is known as mutualism.
Recently, a group of scientists in Japan found that cleaner fish might have the ability to identify (识别) themselves in photographs! It was already known that cleaner fish could recognize themselves in mirrors and would attack unknown cleaner fish. So, the team wanted to test whether the same was seen in the case of photos as well.
Thus, the team of scientists showed four types of photos to the cleaner fish. The first type was a photo of themselves, while the second involved an unknown cleaner fish. The third type of picture was a photo of an unknown cleaner fish with the fish’s own face edited onto it. The fourth type of photo included its own body but with the face of an unknown cleaner fish.
They found that cleaner fish attacked only those photographs which did not have their own faces. This result was similar to the ability of humans to recognize each other based on their faces and not by their bodies.
This study suggests that self-awareness may be far more widespread among animals than scientists once thought. People shouldn’t be surprised that fish could have a sense of self given that they have already been shown to have complex behavior including tool use and planning.
12. What does the underlined word “mutualism” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. A host-parasite relationship. B. A master-servant relationship.
C. Dependence on each other. D. Beneficial cleaning behavior.
13. What is the new finding about cleaner fish?
A. They can identify themselves in the mirror.
B. They can recognize themselves in the images.
C. They have the same sense of self as humans.
D. They have a better sense of self than some animals.
14. Which types of photos would cleaner fish most probably attack?
A. The first and second types. B. The second and fourth types.
C. The first and third types. D. The second and third types.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the study?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究表明被称为清洁鱼的鱼能够在镜子中认出自己,动物的自我意识可能比科学家们曾经认为的要广泛得多。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中划线部分前的“They “clean” the dead skin and parasites (寄生虫) from other fish. This is of benefit for cleaner fish, which get a meal, as well as for the other fish species, which are freed from parasites. (它们“清理”其他鱼类身上的死皮和寄生虫。这对清洁鱼来说是有好处的,因为它们有饭吃,对其他鱼类来说也是如此,因为它们没有寄生虫。)”可知,清洁鱼清理其它鱼身上的死皮和寄生虫可以有饭吃,而对其他的鱼来说也是有好处的,所以,双方都是互利的,由此可知,这种关系被称为“互利关系”,划线单词的意思应与“互利”意义相近。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Recently, a group of scientists in Japan found that cleaner fish might have the ability to identify (识别) themselves in photographs! (最近,日本的一组科学家发现,清洁鱼可能有能力在照片中识别自己(识别)!)”和“So, the team wanted to test whether the same was seen in the case of photos as well. (因此,研究小组想测试一下照片是否也会出现同样的情况。)”可知,最近日本的一组科学家发现清洁鱼有在照片中识别自己的能力,因此而进行一项实验测试,结合倒数第二段中的“They found that cleaner fish attacked only those photographs which did not have their own faces. (他们发现,清洁鱼只攻击那些没有自己面孔的照片。)”可知,研究发现,清洁鱼只攻击没有自己面孔的照片,由此可知,新研究发现的是他们能在照片中认出自己。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The first type was a photo of themselves, while the second involved an unknown cleaner fish. The third type of picture was a photo of an unknown cleaner fish with the fish’s own face edited onto it. The fourth type of photo included its own body but with the face of an unknown cleaner fish. (第一种是他们自己的照片,第二种是一条不知名的清洁鱼。第三种类型的照片是一张不知名的清洁鱼的照片,上面编辑了这条鱼自己的脸。第四种类型的照片包括它自己的身体,但脸是一条不知名的清洁鱼。)”以及下文中的“They found that cleaner fish attacked only those photographs which did not have their own faces. (他们发现,清洁鱼只攻击那些没有自己面孔的照片。)”可知,这些清洁鱼只攻击没有自己面孔的照片,第二种和第四中照片中没有清洁鱼自己的照片,综合以上信息可知,这些清洁鱼会攻击第二种和第四种类型的照片。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“This study suggests that self-awareness may be far more widespread among animals than scientists once thought. People shouldn’t be surprised that fish could have a sense of self given that they have already been shown to have complex behavior including tool use and planning. (这项研究表明,动物的自我意识可能比科学家们曾经认为的要广泛得多。人们不应该对鱼有自我意识感到惊讶,因为它们已经被证明有复杂的行为,包括工具使用和计划。)”可知,这项研究表明动物的自我意识比科学家们曾经认为的还要广泛,它们已经被证明有复杂的行为,包括工具使用和计划,由此可知,作者对这项研究的态度是支持的。故选C项。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humiliation (蒙羞). Many of us have experienced that fearful feeling of just wanting the ground to open up and get down, right? _____16_____ But what is humiliation, and how can we move on from it?
Humiliation is quite often compared to the feeling of shame. Shame is more of a private feeling of regret and dishonor, which results from having said or done something wrong or stupid. For example, a good person will feel ‘shameful’ for speaking or doing something mean to a friend. _____17_____ However, the case of humiliation differs. It is described as a strong feeling that comes with loss of self-respect. Imagine your workmates shock you by unfairly calling you out on your work during a meeting with your boss. Or your friend may look down upon you by questioning your knowledge in a hobby or interest in front of your other friends. _____18_____
So, how can you deal with it? According to psychologist Robert J. Sternberg, there are a few steps you can take. First, you must accept the humiliation and realize you’re not the only one who has felt like this. _____19_____ Also, don’t immediately try and fight back for ‘round 2’ —often humiliation isn’t personal.
Lastly, resilience (恢复力) seems to be extremely important. Some people say: “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger”. _____20_____ Why not use the disadvantage as motivation (动力) to become a better worker or learn more about that hobby or interest? It could be an opportunity to start spending more time in doing something you love. That way it may have an unexpected benefit.
A. While humiliation probably won’t kill you, it can hurt.
B. It occurs when someone decides to make us feel small.
C. It makes that person feel bad and regretful of his behavior.
D. Therefore, talk to others who have experienced it and move on.
E. Thus this article helps to understand this painful private feeling.
F. The presence of others is the key factor—a public dressing-down.
G. So, take the challenge to make it known to the public and fight back.
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文。它首先介绍了耻辱的概念,将其与羞愧进行比较,随后通过实例阐述了耻辱的场景特征,并提出了一系列应对耻辱的心理学建议,鼓励读者接受、处理并从耻辱的经历中恢复和成长。
【16题详解】
由上文“Humiliation (蒙羞). Many of us have experienced that fearful feeling of just wanting the ground to open up and get down, right? (蒙羞。我们很多人都经历过那种只想让地面裂开让自己躲进去的恐惧感,对吧?)”以及下文“But what is humiliation, and how can we move on from it? (但什么是耻辱,我们又该如何从中走出来呢?)”可知,首段提出了耻辱这一概念,并引出下文对其定义及应对方法的讨论,E选项“It occurs when someone decides to make us feel small. (当有人决定让我们感到渺小时,就会发生这种情况。)”中的It指代上文的humiliation,同时引出下文对于耻辱的进一步探讨,符合题意。故选B。
【17题详解】
由上文“For example, a good person will feel ‘shameful’ for speaking or doing something mean to a friend. (例如,一个好人会对朋友说或做一些刻薄的事情感到‘羞愧’。)”可知,这里在举例说明羞愧的感觉来源于个人行为不当,C选项“It makes that person feel bad and regretful of his behavior. (这让他对自己的行为感到糟糕和后悔)”承接上文,解释了为什么好人会对自己的不当行为感到羞愧,符合题意。故选C。
【18题详解】
由上文“Imagine your workmates shock you by unfairly calling you out on your work during a meeting with your boss. Or your friend may look down upon you by questioning your knowledge in a hobby or interest in front of your other friends. (想象一下,在与老板开会时,你的同事不公平地批评你的工作,让你感到震惊。或者你的朋友可能在其他朋友面前质疑你对某个爱好或兴趣的知识,从而看不起你。)”可知,这里列举了两种公开场合下遭受羞辱的情景,F选项“The presence of others is the key factor—a public dressing-down. (他人的在场是关键因素——公开的责骂。)”总结了这两种情况的共同点,即都有他人在场,且是公开性质的,符合题意。故选F。
【19题详解】
由上文“First, you must accept the humiliation and realize you’re not the only one who has felt like this. (首先,你必须接受这种耻辱,并意识到你不是唯一有这种感觉的人。)”可知,这里在提供应对耻辱的第一个步骤,强调接受并认识到耻辱是一种普遍感受,D选项“Therefore, talk to others who have experienced it and move on. (因此,与其他经历过这些的人交谈并继续前进。)”承接上文,提出了解决办法之一是与同样经历的人交流并继续前行,符合题意。故选D。
【20题详解】
由上文“Some people say: ‘What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger’. (有些人说:‘那些杀不死你的只会让你变得更强大’。)”以及后文“Why not use the disadvantage as motivation (动力) to become a better worker or learn more about that hobby or interest? (为什么不利用这个劣势作为成为更好的工作者或了解更多关于那个爱好或兴趣的动力呢?)”可知,这里是在谈论将负面经历转化为成长的动力,A选项“While humiliation probably won’t kill you, it can hurt. (虽然耻辱可能不会杀死你,但它会伤害你。)”承上启下,既回应了前文提到的“不致命却让人更强大的事物”,又引出了下文关于如何将耻辱的伤害转变为积极行动的建议,符合题意。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了全球食物浪费问题的严重性。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:尽管世界上有超过7.3亿人生活在饥饿中,但每天仍有超过10亿顿饭被扔掉。throw(扔)是句中谓语动词,与主语meals之间是被动关系,句中有时间状语every day,描述习惯性行为应使用一般现在时态,又因主语是复数名词,谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上,谓语应用一般现在时的被动语态,复数形式。故填are thrown。
【37题详解】
考查分数。句意:根据联合国食物浪费指数报告,全球约有五分之一的食物被浪费,其中一个重要原因是人们无法获得冷藏或储存。分数的基本表达形式为“基数词+序数词”;句中表示“五分之一”,用序数词fifth。故填fifth。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:根据联合国食物浪费指数报告,全球约有五分之一的食物被浪费,其中一个重要原因是人们无法获得冷藏或储存。access to...是固定搭配,意为“(使用/得到)……的方法/机会/权利” 。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:这不仅是对自然资源的浪费,也是造成气候危机的主要原因,占全球温室气体排放量的近10%。提示词作表语,用可数名词contributor,意为“促成因素;原因”,结合冠词a可知,用单数形式。故填contributor。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这不仅是对自然资源的浪费,也是造成气候危机的主要原因,占全球温室气体排放量的近10%。“ (account) for close to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放) ”作伴随状语,account for(占)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语it之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填accounting。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:很少有国家有减少食物浪费的有效计划,而且大多数国家没有将其纳入减少碳排放的计划。fail to do是固定搭配,用不定式作宾语。故填to include。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意:全球食品银行网络 首席执行官丽莎•穆恩 呼吁食品生产商与食品银行开展比以往更密切的合作。提示词修饰动词work,用副词closely作状语,结合than before可知,应使用比较级more closely,意为“更加密切地”。故填more closely。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:粮食银行是减少粮食损失和浪费的独特模式,因为它不仅拯救了粮食,而且确保粮食最终出现在面临粮食不安全的人们的餐桌上。可数名词model在句中表示“一种模式”,泛指,unique发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:粮食银行是减少粮食损失和浪费的独特模式,因为它不仅拯救了粮食,而且确保粮食最终出现在面临粮食不安全的人们的餐桌上。“(face) food insecurity (不安全)”作后置定语,face(面临)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语people之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填facing。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:在英国,政府已宣布拨款2.95亿英镑,用于组织每周的食物垃圾收集,这样人们就能清楚地看到他们买的东西有多少被浪费了。“ they buy”是宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,结合句意,表示“(他们买的)东西”,用连接代词what引导该从句。故填what。

50. The happiest are not those who own all the best things, but those who can a_______ the beauty of life. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】appreciate##ppreciate
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:最幸福的人不是那些拥有最好东西的人,而是那些能够欣赏生活之美的人。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中作谓语,使用动词。根据下文“the beauty of life(生活的美)”可推理出空白处应填表示“欣赏”含义的动词,根据首字母提示,以字母a开头且表示“欣赏”含义的动词为:appreciate,因空白处前面有情态动词can,所以空白处填动词原形,故填appreciate。
51. The photo of their baseball team winning the first place has _______ (唤醒) Tom’s feelings of excitement and pride. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)

Let’s join forces to protect our planet’s forests!
Forests are important for the well-being of our planet, serving as vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, regulate climate and provide various resources. However, they face threats, including deforestation, wildfires, and illegal logging.
We can start by educating ourselves and others about the importance of forests and the threats they face. Participating in tree planting and advocating for stronger environmental policies are ways we can contribute to forest protection. Additionally, we can reduce our consumption of paper and wood products and promote recycling to lessen the demand for forest resources.
By coming together and taking action, we can make a significant difference in safeguarding our planet’s forests for current and future generations.

第二节 读后续写(满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was surprised to find that the busy traffic lines outside Layla’s primary school had remarkably disappeared—I easily found a parking space and, for once, I was on time. The school bell rang, and a group of children merrily made their way through the gate. However, something was different—the children were all squeezing (挤进) into cars in groups of three or four.
Before I could ask my daughter Layla, Mr. Trent, the head teacher, approached me. “Mrs. Pavis, didn’t you see our letter?” Letter? What letter? I had a habit of not paying attention to them and, in most cases, not reading them. “The letter? Of course. I didn’t notice that. I’ve been away for work.”
Now, at home, I examined through Layla’s messy school bag. Eventually, I found several letters, all about the problem of parking outside the school gates. Obviously, due to some parents parking improperly, the police were about to step in. “Why didn’t you give me these letters?” I demanded. Layla raised her shoulders. “I forgot.” I was about to give her a lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for the cooking class that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.
I calmed down and realized that they wanted parents to carpool (拼车). Over the next half hour, I called the parents of Layla’s friends, asking if they would like to carpool with us. Unfortunately, they had already made arrangements. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters long ago. “Um... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would carpool with us because we’re always late.” I suddenly felt sorry. We were a disorganized family.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I made up my mind to change.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
I made up my mind to change. From that day on, I set a rule for myself to regularly check Layla’s school bag for any notices or letters, ensuring that nothing important slipped through the cracks. Meanwhile, I reached out to Layla’s friends’ parents, and together we established a system that ensured everyone had an equal opportunity to carpool. The positive changes in me didn’t go unnoticed by Layla, who happily followed in my footsteps. The stress and frustration caused by the previous disorganization gradually faded away, replaced by a sense of harmony and efficiency. Our relationship blossomed, and I became more aware of the importance of being present and attentive in her life.

Explore more in Thailand’s parts unknown
Thailand’s southern beaches attract travelers worldwide, but there’s more to explore in the Southeast Asian country.
Ban Krut for beach fans
In Ban Krut, travelers will find one of the cleanest and quietest white sandy beaches within driving distance of the capital, Bangkok. This sleepy seaside community, known mostly by locals, is a five-hour drive or six-hour train trip down the Gulf of Thailand. Don’t miss the great Wat Tang Sai, a Buddhist temple located on Thong Chai Mountain.
Lopburi for history lovers
Lopburi, one of Thailand’s oldest cities, is home to Khmer-era temples and the uncrowded ruins of King Narai’s Palace, which was built in the 1600s. It’s also known for the monkeys that gather at Phra Prang Sam Yot temple in the center of town. A tip: Keep a safe distance from the monkeys and hide anything you don’t want them to steal.
Cave (洞穴) for holiday hikers
Hiking trails, wetlands and forests make Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park a weekend adventure worthy of topping your Thailand to-do list. The park’s crown jewel is the amazing Phraya Nakhon Cave. Outdoorsy travelers can camp in a park or choose better rooms in the nearby tourist town of Hua Hin.

From the deserts of Southern California to the forests of Alaska, the U. S. possesses a diversity (多样性) of nature. For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U. S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa.
“When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea inspired their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realized that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the amazing places they were able to visit.
Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa.
“I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And you’re your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U. S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling. Next up, they have their sights set on Kenya.
4. Why did Brad decide to intervene in some way?

C. Stressful but eye-opening. D. Amazing and worthwhile.
6. Which factor mainly contributes to Grandma Joy’s good health?

Some of us like to keep some things private — maybe we don’t want people knowing about our relationship, our age or where we live — because these details are personal. The problem is, everywhere we go online, we seem to leave a digital footprint.
On our social media accounts, we often present things like our opinions, connections and holiday photos. The issue is, how do we stop everybody seeing everything? Maybe we don’t want a stranger knowing our favourite type of coffee. And cookies — there was a time they were just something nice to eat. Now they seem to appear unexpectedly on websites. So how can you stay more private?
There are some steps you can take. First, on your social media accounts, check your privacy settings. Many social media sites allow everything to be seen by default (默认), and the responsibility is on you to set your boundaries. And limiting the amount you share isn’t only confined (局限于) to social media. There are many sites out there that help you to share documents — so a good tip may be not to put anything too private, like passwords, on there. One careless click may send it to the wrong person.
Finally, cookies are designed to improve your surfing experience by tracking and saving information about your visits to a site, helping to personalise your sessions. Deleting (删除) your using history may help, but there are certain apps which can block them if you don’t feel comfortable.
So, if you want to maintain your privacy online, maybe only share things you’d be happy with a stranger seeing — and if you don’t feel comfortable with cookies, you might decide to apply some tech to block them. If that’s not enough, just don’t accept them and visit another site — and why not have a yummy cookie to eat instead?
8. What is the article aimed at?
A. Reminding you to update information.
B. Advising you to maintain privacy online.
C. Encouraging you to live a simple digital life.
D. Warning you to delete social media accounts.
9. Why is it important to check privacy settings on social media accounts?
A. To increase the number of followers.
B. To block all the cookies from tracking.
C. To limit the amount of information shared.
D. To prevent strangers from viewing using history.
10. Which step does the author suggest readers take to stay more private?
A. Disable some social media sites.
B. Share passwords with familiar ones.
C. Store documents on public sites.
D Use suitable apps to block cookies.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Concerns for personal privacy. B. Recommendation of private apps.
C. Suggestions for protecting privacy. D. Application of high technologies.
D
It is a well-known fact that not all animals have the ability to instantly recognize themselves in the mirror. However, a few animals can recognize themselves, such as dolphins, Asian elephants, and of course humans! A species of fish with the ability to recognize itself in the mirror is commonly known as the cleaner fish.
Found in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, cleaner fish exist as “cleaning stations” for other fish (known as hosts). They “clean” the dead skin and parasites (寄生虫) from other fish. This is of benefit for cleaner fish, which get a meal, as well as for the other fish species, which are freed from parasites. Such a type of relationship is known as mutualism.
Recently, a group of scientists in Japan found that cleaner fish might have the ability to identify (识别) themselves in photographs! It was already known that cleaner fish could recognize themselves in mirrors and would attack unknown cleaner fish. So, the team wanted to test whether the same was seen in the case of photos as well.
Thus, the team of scientists showed four types of photos to the cleaner fish. The first type was a photo of themselves, while the second involved an unknown cleaner fish. The third type of picture was a photo of an unknown cleaner fish with the fish’s own face edited onto it. The fourth type of photo included its own body but with the face of an unknown cleaner fish.
They found that cleaner fish attacked only those photographs which did not have their own faces. This result was similar to the ability of humans to recognize each other based on their faces and not by their bodies.
This study suggests that self-awareness may be far more widespread among animals than scientists once thought. People shouldn’t be surprised that fish could have a sense of self given that they have already been shown to have complex behavior including tool use and planning.
12. What does the underlined word “mutualism” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. A host-parasite relationship. B. A master-servant relationship.
C. Dependence on each other. D. Beneficial cleaning behavior.
13. What is the new finding about cleaner fish?
A. They can identify themselves in the mirror.
B. They can recognize themselves in the images.
C. They have the same sense of self as humans.
D. They have a better sense of self than some animals.
14. Which types of photos would cleaner fish most probably attack?
A. The first and second types. B. The second and fourth types.
C. The first and third types. D. The second and third types.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the study?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humiliation (蒙羞). Many of us have experienced that fearful feeling of just wanting the ground to open up and get down, right? _____16_____ But what is humiliation, and how can we move on from it?
Humiliation is quite often compared to the feeling of shame. Shame is more of a private feeling of regret and dishonor, which results from having said or done something wrong or stupid. For example, a good person will feel ‘shameful’ for speaking or doing something mean to a friend. _____17_____ However, the case of humiliation differs. It is described as a strong feeling that comes with loss of self-respect. Imagine your workmates shock you by unfairly calling you out on your work during a meeting with your boss. Or your friend may look down upon you by questioning your knowledge in a hobby or interest in front of your other friends. _____18_____
So, how can you deal with it? According to psychologist Robert J. Sternberg, there are a few steps you can take. First, you must accept the humiliation and realize you’re not the only one who has felt like this. _____19_____ Also, don’t immediately try and fight back for ‘round 2’ —often humiliation isn’t personal.
Lastly, resilience (恢复力) seems to be extremely important. Some people say: “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger”. _____20_____ Why not use the disadvantage as motivation (动力) to become a better worker or learn more about that hobby or interest? It could be an opportunity to start spending more time in doing something you love. That way it may have an unexpected benefit.
A. While humiliation probably won’t kill you, it can hurt.
B. It occurs when someone decides to make us feel small.
C. It makes that person feel bad and regretful of his behavior.
D. Therefore, talk to others who have experienced it and move on.
E. Thus, this article helps to understand this painful private feeling.
F. The presence of others is the key factor—a public dressing-down.
G. So, take the challenge to make it known to the public and fight back.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was surprised to find that the busy traffic lines outside Layla’s primary school had remarkably disappeared—I easily found a parking space and, for once, I was on time. The school bell rang, and a group of children merrily made their way through the gate. However, something was different—the children were all squeezing (挤进) into cars in groups of three or four.
Before I could ask my daughter Layla, Mr. Trent, the head teacher, approached me. “Mrs. Pavis, didn’t you see our letter?” Letter? What letter? I had a habit of not paying attention to them and, in most cases, not reading them. “The letter? Of course. I didn’t notice that. I’ve been away for work.”
Now, at home, I examined through Layla’s messy school bag. Eventually, I found several letters, all about the problem of parking outside the school gates. Obviously, due to some parents parking improperly, the police were about to step in. “Why didn’t you give me these letters?” I demanded. Layla raised her shoulders. “I forgot.” I was about to give her a lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for the cooking class that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.
I calmed down and realized that they wanted parents to carpool (拼车). Over the next half hour, I called the parents of Layla’s friends, asking if they would like to carpool with us. Unfortunately, they had already made arrangements. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters long ago. “Um... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would carpool with us because we’re always late.” I suddenly felt sorry. We were a disorganized family.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I made up my mind to change.
