W: Having too many days off can affect our study and even our life. And many students’ parents like mine have to go to work. If students get too many days off, they might be at home alone too much. This could make some students’ mental health issues worse. M: But some students have serious mental health challenges. How can they get help?

During a family vacation to a rainforest in Mexico, 12-year-old Noah saw thousands of monarch butterflies. He really loved the sight. However, when he was talking to a biologist who was doing research there, he learned that the butterflies were at great risk of disappearing. He became very concerned and decided to take action. After Noah returned home with his family, he had a talk with his parents. He told them he wanted to help monarch butterflies. His parents weren’t surprised. They knew their son cares about wildlife. They told Noah they’d be there for him. With his parents’help, the boy created Monarch Defenders. It’s an organization that aims to protect monarch butterflies. It tries to raise awareness about issues impacting the species, such as loss of habitat, pollution and climate change. On his website, Noah encourages others to take small, actionable steps—for example, planting a monarch butterfly habitat in their yard. I hope that we all can follow Noah’s lead and make an effort to save this species. 二、阅读理解 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 Heightening Environmental AwarenessAbout Green Haven… ● Visit Green Haven to learn how to care about the environment and broaden your knowledge and understanding of conservation efforts. ● Our purpose is to showcase what others have done to help conserve the environment and how everyone can also do his/her part. ● We believe that everyone can achieve this through hands-on activities.

After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in engineering in 1956. Walsh was hired by Chrysler in Detroit. “That was the best decision I ever made, because if I’d gone to GM, I could have been lost in a big hurry,” Walsh said. The engineer proved his ability while making $485 a month. “I was the youngest chief engineer at Chrysler at that time,” Walsh recalled. Walsh was approached by the manager in 1976 to design a vehicle unlike any other. Walsh’s team didn’t waste time. “We designed a prototype (原型) by cutting down the big vans,” Walsh explained. But the plans Walsh led would sit on a shelf collecting dust. “We kept proving that it was workable through the prototypes,” Walsh said. Then eight years later, Chrysler’s new CEO Lee Iacocca greenlighted the project. “He thought it was a product that needed to be on the market,” Walsh said. “It was decided to produce it in 1984.” With its extra cargo (货物) space and roominess for passengers, the Chrysler minivan was an instant hit. “It became the cash cow of Chrysler Corporation,” Walsh said. After 32 years in Chrysler, Walsh retired in 1988 just four years after the first minivan was produced. “The world’s best minivans and that is true,” Walsh said. “It was a landmark vehicle.” 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the minivan, proving good ideas get good gas mileage. The 93-year-old doesn’t take credit for the minivan. To this day Walsh sings high praise for his talented team. Admirably, the retired engineer helped introduce a new way of driving. “I enjoyed every minute of those jobs. That is all I have got to say,” Walsh said. “I enjoyed every minute of my career. I am very fortunate to be there at the beginning.” 24．What can we infer about Walsh from paragraph 2? A．He once had the idea of working for GM. B．He wasn’t valued in the company initially. C．He joined Chrysler to design the minivan. D．He learnt engineering because he was poor. 25．What was the attitude of the CEOs before Lee Iacocca to Walsh’s prototype? A．Unclear. B．Approving. C．Tolerant. D．Dismissive. 26．Which best describes Walsh as a team leader? A．Strict. B．Modest. C．Ambitious. D．Humorous. 27．What can we learn from Walsh’s story? A．A winner is one with a great effort of will. B．Gaining success helps you become an expert. C．Your success comes from loving what you do. D．Success means getting personal desires satisfied. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Leo Walsh设计厢式旅行车的故事。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“That was the best decision I ever made, because if I’d gone to GM, I could have been lost in a big hurry(这是我做过的最好的决定，因为如果我去了通用汽车，我可能很快就会迷失)”可推知，Walsh曾经想过去通用汽车公司工作。故选A。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“But the plans Walsh led would sit on a shelf collecting dust.(但沃尔什领导的计划却被搁置在架子上积灰)”以及“Then eight years later, Chrysler’s new CEO Lee Iacocca greenlighted the project.(八年后，克莱斯勒的新任CEO李·艾柯卡批准了这个项目)”可推知，在Lee Iacocca之前的CEO们对Walsh团队所设计的原型持排斥态度。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The 93-year-old doesn’t take credit for the minivan. To this day Walsh sings high praise for his talented team.(这位93岁的老人并不把这辆小型货车归功于自己。直到今天，沃尔什仍然高度赞扬他的天才团队)”可知，Walsh高度赞扬了自己的团队，即Walsh是一位很谦虚的人。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Admirably, the retired engineer helped introduce a new way of driving. “I enjoyed every minute of those jobs. That is all I have got to say,” Walsh said. “I enjoyed every minute of my career. I am very fortunate to be there at the beginning.”(令人钦佩的是，这位退休的工程师帮助引进了一种新的驾驶方式。“我享受这些工作的每一分钟。这就是我要说的。我享受我职业生涯的每一分钟。我很幸运能从一开始就在那里。”)”可推知，我们可以从Walsh的经历中学到：成功源于热爱。故选C。 C Blue light blocking (BLB) glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wave length light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, using this type of glasses sounds like a smart investment, right? Elizabeth Esparaz, an eye specialist based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that producers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing and doubtful. Blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun produces much more blue light than human-made devices, and it’s actually advantageous,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It prevents the release of melatonin, a substance helping regulate our body and making us sleepy. So, in theory, wearing BLB glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid wakefulness. A review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag (时差反应) and shift work dropped off to sleep faster after using these glasses. “So to some extent, these glasses are useful to some people,” saysDr. Esparaz. But the effectiveness is not wide and does not extend beyond certain cases. As for eye strain (疲劳), a condition of the eyes usually caused by a long period of looking at screens, an Australian study showed that those wearing BLB glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And another review study, also by Australian researchers, found inadequate evidence that BLB glasses could prevent serious eye problems. “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, they are maybe not as good as advertised and a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. 28．What message does Dr. Esparaz convey in paragraph 2? A．Seeing is believing. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Every coin has two sides. D．One man’s meat is another man’s poison. 29．Who may benefit from wearing BLB glasses? A．People working long hours. B．People with poor sight. C．People watching the screen often. D．People with sleep problems. 30．Why does the author mention the two studies conducted by Australian researchers? A．To explain the function of BLB glasses. B．To indicate the limitations of BLB glasses. C．To show the commonness of eye problems. D．To demonstrate the influence of blue light. 31．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Do BLB glasses really work? B．Why are BLB glasses popular? C．Is blue light a trouble maker? D．How do BLB glasses play a role? 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。防蓝光眼镜被认为可以保护眼睛免受智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯的短波长光的影响，但是一些研究表明，防蓝光眼镜的作用很有限。 28．推理判断题。根据第二段中的““The sun produces much more blue light than human-made devices, and it’s actually advantageous,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It prevents the release of melatonin, a substance helping regulate our body and making us sleepy”（“太阳比人造设备产生更多的蓝光，这实际上是有利的，”埃斯帕拉兹博士说。它有助于我们的情绪和睡眠-觉醒周期。问题在于夜间的蓝光：它会阻止褪黑激素的释放，而褪黑激素是一种帮助调节我们的身体并使我们昏昏欲睡的物质。）由此可推断，蓝光具有两面性，有利又有弊。A项“眼见为实”；B项“勿以貌取人”；C项“凡事皆有两面性”；D项“甲之蜜糖，乙之砒霜”。故选C。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So, in theory, wearing BLB glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid wakefulness. A review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag (时差反应) and shift work dropped off to sleep faster after using these glasses.”（因此，从理论上讲，戴BLB眼镜应该可以帮助那些在床上看电影或晚上用平板电脑阅读的人避免醒来。俄克拉何马大学的一项综述研究回顾了之前的24项研究，发现受睡眠障碍、时差和轮班工作影响的人在戴上这种眼镜后入睡更快。）可知，防蓝光眼镜能够避免失眠，受睡眠障碍、时差反应和轮班工作影响的人在使用这类眼镜后入睡得更快，所以有睡眠问题的人可能会从防蓝光眼镜中受益。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段段尾提到“But the effectiveness is not wide and does not extend beyond certain cases.”（但效果并不广泛，也没有超出某些情况。）以及第四段中第一项研究发现戴防蓝光眼镜的人不会比戴透明眼镜的人经历更少的眼睛疲劳，第二项研究发现没有足够的证据证明防蓝光眼镜可以预防严重的眼部问题。由此可推知，作者提到这两项研究是为了说明防蓝光眼镜的局限性。故选B。 31．主旨大意题。阅读全文可知，文章开头提到防蓝光眼镜被认为可以保护眼睛免受智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯的短波长光的影响，并引出“使用防蓝光眼镜是否是明智的投资(即防蓝光眼镜是否有用)”这一话题；第二段介绍蓝光有利有弊；第三、四段通过相关研究的发现说明防蓝光眼镜的益处和不足；最后一段进行总结。故A项“BLB眼镜真的有用吗？”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。故选A。 D I like an organized, clean house. I am, however, often in the minority in the house. Every time I walk in the front door and make the turn to hang my coat in the mudroom (Amudroom is a space set aside in a house where people can take off their outdoor clothing, remove their soiled shoes, store equipment), I frown at the mess that meets my eyes. Lots of shoes littered all over the floor, along with slippers (拖鞋) and anything you can imagine. No matter how many times I attempt to restore the scene, this room immediately ends up back in mess. The other day I started to think about why the mu droom is the most challenging room to keep in order. I came to the realization that it is because the mu droom is both the beginning and the end, it is the jumping off point to the adventures of our day and it is the storage ground when the sun sets. In turn, those four walls have become a holder of memories, and a museum of my family’s treasures, as each item tells a story of those that I love most. The bright white Nike high tops cast off on the floor belong to my oldest son, nearing 12,presenting his emerging fashion sense. The worn black and blue runners introduce my youngest,a lively tornado in a 10-year-old’s body. The slippers belong to my husband. They were a Christmas present from the boys and me many years ago. During the colder months, it is the first thing that my husband does when he return s home from work, he slips on those grey wool slippers and continues to settle in. He loves and wears them so much that the initial pair wore right through the toe. He won’t part with those treasures but now has a second pair; the exact same make and model. Recently it occurred to me that my annoyance at the mudroom chaos is temporary. This disorder will last only a few years. The boys are getting older, and the toys and mess will move on ... as will my sons eventually. This makes me sad for what I know will feel like a big loss. Each day that I see that collection of goods means that my house is full of love, energy, passion and family. 32．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2? A．Intense desire to be clean. B．Strong ha te of the mudroom. C．Ongoing struggle to maintain order. D．Great tension between her and her family. 33．What can we learn from the author’s reflection? A．Her regret and restart. B．Her wonder and willpower. C．Her frustration and forgiveness. D．Her acceptance and appreciation. 34．Why does the story refer to the husband’s slippers? A．To prove their comfort. B．To show their emotional value. C．To offer insight into his daily life. D．To praise his money management. 35．What is the best title of the text? A．Loss? Universal Gain! B．Chaos? Life’s Loving Marks! C．Litter? Proof of Daily Routine! D．Mudroom? Family’s Obligation! 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．B 35．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了作者喜欢整洁，但是家里的房间总是很难整理好，经过反思，作者认为家里的乱也透露出了家庭的友爱和活力。 32．推理判断题。根据第二段“Every time I walk in the front door and make the turn to hang my coat in the mudroom (A mudroom is a space set aside in a house where people can take off their outdoor clothing, remove their soiled shoes, store equipment), I frown at the mess that meets my eyes. Lots of shoes littered all over the floor, along with slippers (拖鞋) and anything you can imagine. No matter how many times I attempt to restore the scene, this room immediately ends up back in mess.(每次我走进前门，转身去把外套挂在储物间（储物间是房子里留出的一块地方，人们可以在那里脱下户外的衣服，脱掉脏鞋子，存放设备），我都会对眼前的混乱皱眉。地板上到处都是鞋子，还有拖鞋和任何你能想到的东西。不管我试着恢复多少次，这个房间马上就又乱了)”可知，作者想在第2段告诉我们维持秩序的持续斗争。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“In turn, those four walls have become a holder of memories, and a museum of my family’s treasures, as each item tells a story of those that I love most.(反过来，这四面墙也成了记忆的储藏地，成了我家珍宝的博物馆，因为每一件藏品都讲述了我最爱的人的故事)”可知，我们可以从作者的反思中了解到作者的接受和感激。故选D。 34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The slippers belong to my husband. They were a Christmas present from the boys and me many years ago. During the colder months, it is the first thing that my husband does when he return s home from work, he slips on those grey wool slippers and continues to settle in. He loves and wears them so much that the initial pair wore right through the toe. He won’t part with those treasures but now has a second pair; the exact same make and model.(这双拖鞋是我丈夫的。它们是许多年前我和孩子们送给我的圣诞礼物。在寒冷的月份里，我丈夫下班回家后做的第一件事就是穿上灰色羊毛拖鞋，继续安顿下来。他非常喜欢穿这双鞋，以至于最初的一双鞋都能漏出脚趾头。他不会放弃那些珍宝，但现在他有了第二双；一模一样的牌子和型号)”可知，这个故事提到了丈夫的拖鞋是为了显示情感价值。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Each day that I see that collection of goods means that my house is full of love, energy, passion and family.(每天我看到这些收藏品，就意味着我的房子里充满了爱、活力、激情和家庭)”结合文章讲述了作者喜欢整洁，但是家里的房间总是很难整理好，经过反思，作者认为家里的乱也透露出了家庭的友爱和活力。可知，B选项“混乱？生命的可爱印记！”最符合文章标题。故选B。 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。 Writing a successful English speech can be a challenging task, but with the following tips, you can create a powerful and engaging speech. 36 The first step in crafting a convincing speech is to know who will be listening.

Besides these basic elements, however, there is something unique 56 Chinese cuisine. One of them is the importance of texture (口感). The Chinese appreciate a far 57 (wide) range of textures in their food than most Westerners, 58 (include), for example, slippery, chewy and bouncy textures. Chinese people enjoy using their teeth and tongue to feel food, such as chicken feet and duck tongues. If you want to deepen your 59 (appreciate) of Chinese food, it 60 (recommend) that you order some chicken feet to appreciate what your teeth and tongue are doing while you eat them. Another element of Chinese cuisine is the art of cutting. So you might like to consider the way that the ingredients are cut 61 how this affects the way they look on the plate. If your meal has been ordered by a Chinese person or someone else who is knowledgeable about the food, you might also notice that there is 62 (probable) a soup that is intended to provide 63 pleasing contrast to the more strongly flavoured dishes. You might also notice that there is at least one lightly flavoured vegetable dish, 64 will help to create a balance d meal that will leave you 65 (relax) afterwards. 【答案】 56．to 57．wider 58．including 59．appreciation 60．is recommended 61．and 62．probably 63．a 64．which 65．relaxed 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了享受中国美食时独特的几个要素，包括对食物口感的重视、切割技艺以及菜品搭配的平衡。 56．考查介词。句意：然而，除了这些基本元素之外，中国菜还有一些独特之处。be unique to“对……来说是独特的”，为固定短语。故填 to。 57．考查形容词的比较级。句意：中国人比大多数西方人更欣赏食物中广泛多样的口感，比如滑溜、耐嚼和弹牙的口感。根据空后的than可知，这里需要用形容词wide的比较级形式wider，来修饰名词range，表示“更广泛的”。故填 wider。 58．考查介词。句意：中国人比大多数西方人更欣赏食物中广泛多样的口感，包括例如滑腻、有嚼劲和弹性的口感。including为介词，表示“包括”，和后面的名词构成介宾短语，在句中作状语。故填 including。 59．考查名词。句意：如果你想加深对中国菜的理解，建议你点一些鸡爪来体会吃它们时你的牙齿和舌头在做什么。空前是形容词性物主代词your，后应接名词，appreciate的名词形式为appreciation“欣赏，理解”，为不可数名词，故填 appreciation。 60．考查时态语态。句意：建议你点一些鸡爪来体会吃它们时你的牙齿和舌头在做什么。本句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句，空处为句子的谓语动词，主语与recommend之间是被动关系，且该句话描述一般事实，所以用一般现在时态，主语it是单数。故填 is recommended。 61．考查连词。句意：所以你可能会考虑食材的切法以及这如何影响它们在盘子上的外观。这里需要一个并列连词连接“the way that the ingredients are cut”和“how this affects the way they look on the plate”这两部分，前后为并列关系，所以用并列连词and连接。故填 and。 62．考查副词。句意：如果你的餐食是由中国人或其他了解这种食物的人点的，你也可能注意到可能有一道汤，旨在为味道更重的菜肴提供一种令人愉悦的对比。此处需要副词修饰整个句子，表示“可能地”。故填 probably。 63．考查冠词。句意：如果你的餐食是由中国人或其他了解这种食物的人点的，你也可能注意到可能有一道汤，旨在为味道更重的菜肴提供一种令人愉悦的对比。contrast可作可数名词“对比”，这里需要不定冠词a，表示泛指，指“一种令人愉悦的对比”，pleasing以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填 a。 64．考查定语从句引导词。句意：你可能还会注意到至少有一道口味较轻的蔬菜菜肴，这将有助于创造一顿均衡的餐食，让你之后感到放松。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是one lightly flavoured vegetable dish，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填 which。 65．考查形容词。句意：你可能还会注意到至少有一道口味较轻的蔬菜菜肴，这将有助于创造一顿均衡的餐食，让你之后感到放松。空处需要形容词作宾补，表示人的感受，意为“让你之后感到放松”，relaxed“放松的”，这个词通常用来描述人的情绪状态或身体状态。故填 relaxed。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 66．假定你是李华，你校外教Christine正在筹办校英语书法大赛，要求学生线上提交作品，你认为该形式存在问题。请你给她写封邮件，内容包括： （1）说明问题； （2）提出建议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Christine, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Christine, I am writing to express my concern about the upcoming English handwriting competition.

Confused, I glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?” Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads — the commander, and tails — the peanuts gay. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? It was as if time had frozen, and I stood there, grappling with the realization that I had chosen the wrong George Washington. The weight of my mistake settled heavily on my shoulders, and I could feel the eyes of my classmates staring at me, filled with disappointment and pity. Miss Lancelot’s expression softened slightly, perhaps sensing my confusion, but it offered little comfort to me. Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I believed I deserved a second chance. With a firm determination, I embarked on a journey of self-improvement, immersing myself in the study of American history and diligently working on my writing skills. It was a challenging road, filled with setbacks and moments of doubt, but I refused to give up. Slowly but surely, my perseverance paid off, and with each passing assignment, I could feel myself growing stronger and more confident, ready to face whatever obstacles lay ahead. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者讲述了自己努力学习的经历，由于自己对美国历史不是很熟悉，介绍的华盛顿这个人物不是历史上领导美国革命的华盛顿，而是另外一个人。在课堂上读自己写的有关人物的报告时，引起了同学的嘲笑，分数也很低，接下来的时间，自己努力学习，并最终取得了好的成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“整个世界变得安静了！我怎么知道她指的是乔治·华盛顿？”可知，第一段可描写作者做出错误选择后所经历的困惑以及失望的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“显然，我的成绩很糟糕。我伤心欲绝，但无所畏惧，我决定扭转局面。”可知，第二段可描写作者通过自己的努力终于取得了好成绩。 2.续写线索：整个世界变得安静——意识到自己错误的选择——失望和困惑——决定扭转局面——取得成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着：staring at/ gazing at ②.提供：offered /provided ③.拒绝：refused /declined 情绪类 ①.困惑：confusion /puzzle ②.挫折：setbacks/ frustration 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Leo Walsh participated in the design of the minivan, a kind of vehicle, which revolutionized the way families traveled 40 years ago to generations of Americans. After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in engineering in 1956. Walsh was hired by Chrysler in Detroit. “That was the best decision I ever made, because if I’d gone to GM, I could have been lost in a big hurry,” Walsh said. The engineer proved his ability while making $485 a month. “I was the youngest chief engineer at Chrysler at that time,” Walsh recalled. Walsh was approached by the manager in 1976 to design a vehicle unlike any other. Walsh’s team didn’t waste time. “We designed a prototype (原型) by cutting down the big vans,” Walsh explained. But the plans Walsh led would sit on a shelf collecting dust. “We kept proving that it was workable through the prototypes,” Walsh said. Then eight years later, Chrysler’s new CEO Lee Iacocca greenlighted the project. “He thought it was a product that needed to be on the market,” Walsh said. “It was decided to produce it in 1984.” With its extra cargo (货物) space and roominess for passengers, the Chrysler minivan was an instant hit. “It became the cash cow of Chrysler Corporation,” Walsh said. After 32 years in Chrysler, Walsh retired in 1988 just four years after the first minivan was produced. “The world’s best minivans and that is true,” Walsh said. “It was a landmark vehicle.” 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the minivan, proving good ideas get good gas mileage. The 93-year-old doesn’t take credit for the minivan. To this day Walsh sings high praise for his talented team. Admirably, the retired engineer helped introduce a new way of driving. “I enjoyed every minute of those jobs. That is all I have got to say,” Walsh said. “I enjoyed every minute of my career. I am very fortunate to be there at the beginning.” 24．What can we infer about Walsh from paragraph 2? A．He once had the idea of working for GM. B．He wasn’t valued in the company initially. C．He joined Chrysler to design the minivan. D．He learnt engineering because he was poor. 25．What was the attitude of the CEOs before Lee Iacocca to Walsh’s prototype? A．Unclear. B．Approving. C．Tolerant. D．Dismissive. 26．Which best describes Walsh as a team leader? A．Strict. B．Modest. C．Ambitious. D．Humorous. 27．What can we learn from Walsh’s story? A．A winner is one with a great effort of will. B．Gaining success helps you become an expert. C．Your success comes from loving what you do. D．Success means getting personal desires satisfied. C Blue light blocking (BLB) glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wave length light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, using this type of glasses sounds like a smart investment, right? Elizabeth Esparaz, an eye specialist based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that producers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing and doubtful. Blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun produces much more blue light than human-made devices, and it’s actually advantageous,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It prevents the release of melatonin, a substance helping regulate our body and making us sleepy. So, in theory, wearing BLB glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid wakefulness. A review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag (时差反应) and shift work dropped off to sleep faster after using these glasses. “So to some extent, these glasses are useful to some people,” saysDr. Esparaz. But the effectiveness is not wide and does not extend beyond certain cases. As for eye strain (疲劳), a condition of the eyes usually caused by a long period of looking at screens, an Australian study showed that those wearing BLB glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And another review study, also by Australian researchers, found inadequate evidence that BLB glasses could prevent serious eye problems. “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, they are maybe not as good as advertised and a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. 28．What message does Dr. Esparaz convey in paragraph 2? A．Seeing is believing. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Every coin has two sides. D．One man’s meat is another man’s poison. 29．Who may benefit from wearing BLB glasses? A．People working long hours. B．People with poor sight. C．People watching the screen often. D．People with sleep problems. 30．Why does the author mention the two studies conducted by Australian researchers? A．To explain the function of BLB glasses. B．To indicate the limitations of BLB glasses. C．To show the commonness of eye problems. D．To demonstrate the influence of blue light. 31．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Do BLB glasses really work? B．Why are BLB glasses popular? C．Is blue light a trouble maker? D．How do BLB glasses play a role? D I like an organized, clean house. I am, however, often in the minority in the house. Every time I walk in the front door and make the turn to hang my coat in the mudroom (Amudroom is a space set aside in a house where people can take off their outdoor clothing, remove their soiled shoes, store equipment), I frown at the mess that meets my eyes. Lots of shoes littered all over the floor, along with slippers (拖鞋) and anything you can imagine. No matter how many times I attempt to restore the scene, this room immediately ends up back in mess. The other day I started to think about why the mu droom is the most challenging room to keep in order. I came to the realization that it is because the mu droom is both the beginning and the end, it is the jumping off point to the adventures of our day and it is the storage ground when the sun sets. In turn, those four walls have become a holder of memories, and a museum of my family’s treasures, as each item tells a story of those that I love most. The bright white Nike high tops cast off on the floor belong to my oldest son, nearing 12,presenting his emerging fashion sense. The worn black and blue runners introduce my youngest,a lively tornado in a 10-year-old’s body. The slippers belong to my husband. They were a Christmas present from the boys and me many years ago. During the colder months, it is the first thing that my husband does when he return s home from work, he slips on those grey wool slippers and continues to settle in. He loves and wears them so much that the initial pair wore right through the toe. He won’t part with those treasures but now has a second pair; the exact same make and model. Recently it occurred to me that my annoyance at the mudroom chaos is temporary. This disorder will last only a few years. The boys are getting older, and the toys and mess will move on ... as will my sons eventually. This makes me sad for what I know will feel like a big loss. Each day that I see that collection of goods means that my house is full of love, energy, passion and family. 32．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2? A．Intense desire to be clean. B．Strong ha te of the mudroom. C．Ongoing struggle to maintain order. D．Great tension between her and her family. 33．What can we learn from the author’s reflection? A．Her regret and restart. B．Her wonder and willpower. C．Her frustration and forgiveness. D．Her acceptance and appreciation. 34．Why does the story refer to the husband’s slippers? A．To prove their comfort. B．To show their emotional value. C．To offer insight into his daily life. D．To praise his money management. 35．What is the best title of the text? A．Loss? Universal Gain! B．Chaos? Life’s Loving Marks! C．Litter? Proof of Daily Routine! D．Mudroom? Family’s Obligation! 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。 Writing a successful English speech can be a challenging task, but with the following tips, you can create a powerful and engaging speech. 36 The first step in crafting a convincing speech is to know who will be listening.

Besides these basic elements, however, there is something unique 56 Chinese cuisine. One of them is the importance of texture (口感). The Chinese appreciate a far 57 (wide) range of textures in their food than most Westerners, 58 (include), for example, slippery, chewy and bouncy textures. Chinese people enjoy using their teeth and tongue to feel food, such as chicken feet and duck tongues. If you want to deepen your 59 (appreciate) of Chinese food, it 60 (recommend) that you order some chicken feet to appreciate what your teeth and tongue are doing while you eat them. Another element of Chinese cuisine is the art of cutting. So you might like to consider the way that the ingredients are cut 61 how this affects the way they look on the plate. If your meal has been ordered by a Chinese person or someone else who is knowledgeable about the food, you might also notice that there is 62 (probable) a soup that is intended to provide 63 pleasing contrast to the more strongly flavoured dishes. You might also notice that there is at least one lightly flavoured vegetable dish, 64 will help to create a balance d meal that will leave you 65 (relax) afterwards. 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 66．假定你是李华，你校外教Christine正在筹办校英语书法大赛，要求学生线上提交作品，你认为该形式存在问题。请你给她写封邮件，内容包括： （1）说明问题； （2）提出建议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Christine, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节：读后续写（满分25分） 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。 Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?” Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads — the commander, and tails — the peanuts gay. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Obviously, my grade was awful.
