Go Sledding(滑雪橇)around Baltimore
From steep slopes(陡坡)to gentle hills, there's no shortage of local sledding rides in the Baltimore area. Here are a few of the favorites.
Leakin Park
1901 EAGLE DRIVE
There's a sweet slide behind the Crimean Mansion off Eagle Drive—also known today as Friends of Orianda House—which is accessible and also one of the best-kept sledding secrets inside city lines. The Winans Meadow area is super scenic year-round. but especially so when it snows.
Baltimore Country Club
4712 CLUB ROAD
The golf course is a legendary sledding destination, but make sure to be aware that the steep slope here is nicknamed “Adventure Hill” for a reason.

Herring Run Park
3800 BELAIR ROAD
The 375-acre northeast area may be the top spot in the city for the variety of hills to choose from.

Visitors can enjoy the benefit of sufficient parking for private vehicles.
Federal Hill
300 WARREN AVE.

It was hard not to notice the 8-year-old boy Jerry Chun across the street who stormed in and out of his own house. He did it so often that a neighbor,William Dunn, wondered what was going on in his life. So, Dunn asked him.
"He told me that he didn't have a father," says Dunn, now 58,"and I realized there might be something I could do for him."
That something was fishing, and Dunn's father taught him how to fish." Fishing always brought me peace and it taught me how to be patient. When you're on the water, you can forget about your problems and just appreciate the moment,"Dunn said.
One Saturday afternoon on the water led to another, and soon he was teaching other kids in their neighborhood, Lakeland, Florida, how to fix a line, hold a pole, and roll in a big catch. That was 16 years ago.
Since then, Dunn has taken groups of kids out almost every weekend to fish. Then, in 2018,he started the nonprofit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. He and a small group of volunteers have introduced more than 2,500 kids—most without fathers around—to the calming peace found on the water and the excitement of catching a fish.
One of those kids was Jayden Pryor, who struggled emotionally when his father died in a car accident in January 2020.
"He was really close to his dad," says Jayden's mother, Terra Pryor. And with two younger sisters, he "felt he needed to take over the man-of-the-house role. He was trying to be strong for everyone and didn't show his emotion. I was wondering what to do to help him, and then I learned about Take a Kid Fishing Inc."
Jayden, now 13,has become a devoted fisherman and credits Dunn with helping him mature."
There's nothing like feeling that first tug(猛拉)on the line and seeing a kid light up with a smile,"Dunn says."I feel lucky to witness that every weekend."
24.What can we learn about Jerry Chun from the first paragraph?
A.He longed to have a father. B.He tended to be restless.
C. He was interested in fishing. D.He had an ambitious mind.
25.Why did Dunn set up Take a Kid Fishing Inc?
A.Because he considered teaching children to catch fish fun.
B. Because he had to raise some volunteers to help kids.
C. Because he wanted to light up fatherless children's life.
D. Because he enjoyed the company of children.
26.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Jayden Pryor?
A.To present the benefits of Dunn's act.
B.To show Jayden's mother's appreciation.
C.To promote the popularity of fishing together.
D.To make readers donate money to Dunn's organization.
27.What conclusion can be made from Dunn's work?
A.Proper and timely guidance makes a mature kid.
B. Family kids are the future of a strong nation.
C. Fishing can strengthen family connections.
D. Fathers play an important role in kids' life.

Long exposure to fine particulate air pollutants(PM2.5)and nitrogen dioxide(NO₂) may increase non-lung cancer risk in older adults, according to a study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. In a study of millions of Medicare beneficiaries, the researchers found that exposures to PM2.5 and NO2 over a 10-year period increased the risk of developing collector and prostate cancers. The researchers also found that even low levels of air pollution exposure may make people particularly susceptible to developing these cancers.
"Our findings uncover the biological possibility of air pollution as a crucial risk factor in the development of specific cancers, bringing us one step closer to understanding the impact of air pollution on human health," said Yaguang Wei, a research fellow in the Department of Environmental Health. The study was published online on August 1, 2023, in Environmental Epidemiology.
Researchers studied data from national Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 or older, collected from2000 to 2016. All subjects were cancer-free for at least the initial 10 years of the study period.Separate analyses looked at cancer risk under the impacts of air pollutants for various subgroups by factors including age, sex(for collector cancer only),race,average BMI,and socioeconomic status.
Findings from the nationwide analysis showed that long-term PM2.5 and NO₂ exposures increased the risk of developing collector and prostate cancers. For breast cancer,NO₂ exposure was associated with a decreased risk, while the association for PM2. 5 was uncertain. There searchers suggested that the mixed associations may be due to variations in the chemical composition of PM2.5, which is a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles(颗粒).
"The key message here is that U.S. air pollution standards are inadequate in protecting public health," said senior author Joel Schwartz, professor of environmental epidemiology." Current NO₂ standards are also inadequate. Unless all of these standards become much, much stricter,air pollution will continue to result in thousands of unnecessary cases of multiple cancers each year."
28.What does the underlined word"susceptible" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Sustainably able to be bought or used.
B. Physically or mentally attacked.
C.Doubtful whether something is true or useful.
D.Very likely to be influenced or harmed.
29.How did the researchers conduct their study?
A.By asking national Medicare beneficiaries questions.
B. By looking at cancer risk of air pollutants for all groups.
C.By analyzing data from certain people aged 65 or older.
D.By collecting ideas from cancer-free people for 10 years.
30.What contributes to the mixed associations for PM2.5 according to the researchers?
A.Its fast changing speed.B.Its various chemical composition.
C. The subjects' long-term NO₂ exposure. D. The tiny size of PM2.5.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Air Pollution Standards Are Inadequate in Protecting Public Health
B. Cancer Risk under the Impacts of Air Pollutants by Various Factors
C. Air Pollution Will Result in Thousands of Unnecessary Multiple Cancers
D.Outdoor Air Pollution May Increase Non-Lung Cancer Risk in Older Adults
D
You may have heard the old saying, “The more, the merrier.” It’s usually true, but not for travel. When it comes to travel, I say, “The more, the messier.”
I first figured this out a few years ago. I bought the cheapest airline ticket I could find: the Philippines. It turned out great! Once, I went on a long hike and missed the last bus back to town. No problem! Because I was traveling alone, I was able to ride with some Swiss tourists who only had one extra seat in their van(货车). Traveling alone, I was never really alone at all. It was easier to meet people. I talked to everyone I met.
I’m not alone in my preference for solo travel. According to the Daily Mail, there has been a 143 percent increase in “solo travel” internet searches over the past three years. This makes it one of the fastest growing parts of the travel industry.
To me, it’s obvious why people like it. It’s easier to plan. Just pack your bag and go straight to your dream place. If you involve other people, you’ll have to make compromises with your time and money.
Besides freedom, for some people, solo travel is a journey for the mind and soul. They believe solo travel helps them escape trivial (琐碎的) problems of daily life and social activities. “I need peace. I need quiet,” said Suzanne Joinson in the Telegraph. “And most of all, I really, really need to be alone.” No wonder US author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”
32. What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning the old saying at the beginning of the text?
A. To arouse people’s thinking. B. To prove it’s completely wrong.
C. To introduce his opinion on travel. D. To show people’s opinions on happiness.
33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Few people prefer solo travel. B. Not all the people like solo travel.
C. Some other people also like solo travel. D. The author doesn’t feel lonely when travelling alone.
34. According to the context, if people travel with their friends or families,___________.
A. it’s easier to plan B. they will have more freedom
C. they can find their inner peace D. they need to compromise with their time and money
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Solo Travel: Lonelier but Freer B. Solo Travel: a Journey for the Soul
C. Solo Travel: the Best Way of Travelling D. Solo Travel: a Merrier Way of Travelling

How to Make Good Conversation
“Conversation is the most sociable of all human activities.” I totally agree with this point. Conversation is the main part of everyone’s daily life. ___36___ What’s more, good conversation is the most interesting part for us. In my view, you should pay attention to the following three issues to make good conversation.
To start good conversation, we'd better prepare some questions. ___37___ We can ask some questions to show our politeness and care for others. Like, do you have a good sleep last night? Or what do you do in your spare time? Think twice before you throw a question to others.
___38___ We should pay attention to what others said and think in their shoes. Allow the others to do most of the talking. Be patient and hold interest for their comments and make some noise to show you are listening carefully. ___39___ In this way you will get the credit for being a good conversationalist as well as a good listener and it will help you to make friends with others.
We always said eyes are the windows to the soul. Appropriate eye contact is like a great element of the main dish which makes it more delicious. ___40___ It will help us to improve mutual (相互的) understanding. Do not hesitate to look into them. But don't stare at them and don't look at them for too long a time. It would make others feel uneasy and unwilling to go on talking.
A. Good questions make people feel comfortable.
B. Without conversation, life would be as cold as a rock.
C. The most important part of conversation is to listen.
D. Enjoy good conversation and be friends with them.

第二节(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。
From childhood, I was never a fan of football or any sports. My disinterest in “The Beautiful Game” was my attitude, avoiding discussions of football during school lunch breaks in school or dismissing the sports section of the newspaper.
As I grew older, my lack of interest became more obvious. I would go shopping during big games, posting photos on social media to show I had more free time than the people absorbed in their yearly sports. I considered my disengagement from the world of sports an intellectual advantage, a space in my brain reserved for non-sports activities.
However, this attitude of mine became a pressure to me. Casual conversations with friends’ fathers or fellow cab passengers became a challenge. The well-intentioned openers like, “Hey, terrible season we’re having, eh?” or “Who do you support?” made me feel my heart sink, not knowing what to reply. Though I still found football boring, I was starting to regret my outsider status.
The turning point came when I became a father myself. Fearing that my boy Harvey would lack the social involvement of football, I decided to change. So, I brought a football to the playground and I bought him a mini football table at home. I even took the brave step of buying tickets to watch our local team, Boreham Wood.
The friendly atmosphere of the Meadow Park Stadium, the home ground of Boreham Wood, immediately surprised me: low-key, free parking on the street, and £2.50 for a bag of chips. Families surrounded us, all with a real connection to the players on the field.
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。
Slowly but surely, I found myself engaged in the game.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With each visit to the stadium, our connection to football deepened.

There's a sweet slide behind the Crimean Mansion off Eagle Drive—also known today as Friends of Orianda House—which is accessible and also one of the best-kept sledding secrets inside city lines. The Winans Meadow area is super scenic year-round. but especially so when it snows.
Baltimore Country Club
4712 CLUB ROAD
The golf course is a legendary sledding destination, but make sure to be aware that the steep slope here is nicknamed “Adventure Hill” for a reason. No small number of green hands have rolled down here. As one Reddit commenter said, "It left me hurt many a time as a kid"-words no doubt that frighten some but also attract more than a few.
Herring Run Park
3800 BELAIR ROAD
The 375-acre northeast area may be the top spot in the city for the variety of hills to choose from.

Visitors can enjoy the benefit of sufficient parking for private vehicles.
Federal Hill
300 WARREN AVE.

It was hard not to notice the 8-year-old boy Jerry Chun across the street who stormed in and out of his own house. He did it so often that a neighbor,William Dunn, wondered what was going on in his life. So, Dunn asked him.
"He told me that he didn't have a father," says Dunn, now 58,"and I realized there might be something I could do for him."
That something was fishing, and Dunn's father taught him how to fish." Fishing always brought me peace and it taught me how to be patient. When you're on the water, you can forget about your problems and just appreciate the moment,"Dunn said.
One Saturday afternoon on the water led to another, and soon he was teaching other kids in their neighborhood, Lakeland, Florida, how to fix a line, hold a pole, and roll in a big catch. That was 16 years ago.
Since then, Dunn has taken groups of kids out almost every weekend to fish. Then, in 2018,he started the nonprofit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. He and a small group of volunteers have introduced more than 2,500 kids—most without fathers around—to the calming peace found on the water and the excitement of catching a fish.
One of those kids was Jayden Pryor, who struggled emotionally when his father died in a car accident in January 2020.
"He was really close to his dad," says Jayden's mother, Terra Pryor. And with two younger sisters, he "felt he needed to take over the man-of-the-house role. He was trying to be strong for everyone and didn't show his emotion. I was wondering what to do to help him, and then I learned about Take a Kid Fishing Inc."
Jayden, now 13,has become a devoted fisherman and credits Dunn with helping him mature."
There's nothing like feeling that first tug(猛拉)on the line and seeing a kid light up with a smile,"Dunn says."I feel lucky to witness that every weekend."
24.What can we learn about Jerry Chun from the first paragraph?
A.He longed to have a father. B.He tended to be restless.
C. He was interested in fishing. D.He had an ambitious mind.
25.Why did Dunn set up Take a Kid Fishing Inc?
A.Because he considered teaching children to catch fish fun.
B. Because he had to raise some volunteers to help kids.
C. Because he wanted to light up fatherless children's life.
D. Because he enjoyed the company of children.
26.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Jayden Pryor?
A.To present the benefits of Dunn's act.
B.To show Jayden's mother's appreciation.
C.To promote the popularity of fishing together.
D.To make readers donate money to Dunn's organization.
27.What conclusion can be made from Dunn's work?
A.Proper and timely guidance makes a mature kid.
B. Family kids are the future of a strong nation.
C. Fishing can strengthen family connections.
D. Fathers play an important role in kids' life.

Long exposure to fine particulate air pollutants(PM2.5)and nitrogen dioxide(NO₂) may increase non-lung cancer risk in older adults, according to a study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. In a study of millions of Medicare beneficiaries, the researchers found that exposures to PM2.5 and NO2 over a 10-year period increased the risk of developing collector and prostate cancers. The researchers also found that even low levels of air pollution exposure may make people particularly susceptible to developing these cancers.
"Our findings uncover the biological possibility of air pollution as a crucial risk factor in the development of specific cancers, bringing us one step closer to understanding the impact of air pollution on human health," said Yaguang Wei, a research fellow in the Department of Environmental Health. The study was published online on August 1, 2023, in Environmental Epidemiology.
Researchers studied data from national Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 or older, collected from2000 to 2016. All subjects were cancer-free for at least the initial 10 years of the study period.Separate analyses looked at cancer risk under the impacts of air pollutants for various subgroups by factors including age, sex(for collector cancer only),race,average BMI,and socioeconomic status.
Findings from the nationwide analysis showed that long-term PM2.5 and NO₂ exposures increased the risk of developing collector and prostate cancers. For breast cancer,NO₂ exposure was associated with a decreased risk, while the association for PM2. 5 was uncertain. There searchers suggested that the mixed associations may be due to variations in the chemical composition of PM2.5, which is a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles(颗粒).
"The key message here is that U.S. air pollution standards are inadequate in protecting public health," said senior author Joel Schwartz, professor of environmental epidemiology." Current NO₂ standards are also inadequate. Unless all of these standards become much, much stricter,air pollution will continue to result in thousands of unnecessary cases of multiple cancers each year."
28.What does the underlined word"susceptible" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Sustainably able to be bought or used.
B. Physically or mentally attacked.
C.Doubtful whether something is true or useful.
D.Very likely to be influenced or harmed.
29.How did the researchers conduct their study?
A.By asking national Medicare beneficiaries questions.
B. By looking at cancer risk of air pollutants for all groups.
C.By analyzing data from certain people aged 65 or older.
D.By collecting ideas from cancer-free people for 10 years.
30.What contributes to the mixed associations for PM2.5 according to the researchers?
A.Its fast changing speed.B.Its various chemical composition.
C. The subjects' long-term NO₂ exposure. D. The tiny size of PM2.5.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Air Pollution Standards Are Inadequate in Protecting Public Health
B. Cancer Risk under the Impacts of Air Pollutants by Various Factors
C. Air Pollution Will Result in Thousands of Unnecessary Multiple Cancers
D.Outdoor Air Pollution May Increase Non-Lung Cancer Risk in Older Adults

28.答案 D
命题透析 词义猜测题。
思路点拨 上句提到“10年内暴露于PM2.5和二氧化氮下增加了患直肠癌和前列腺癌的风险。”此句中“研究人员还发现,即使是低水平的空气污染暴露”,说明此处表示也会有风险。
29.答案 C
命题透析 细节理解题。
思路点拨 由第三段可知,研究人员研究了从2000年至2016年收集的65岁及以上国家医疗保险受益人的数据。所有受试者在研究期间的最初10年内都没有患癌。单独分析研究了不同组受空气污染物影响的癌症风险,包括年龄、性别(仅限于肠癌)、种族、平均体重指数和社会经济地位。说明研究人员是通过分析一些关于老年人的数据进行研究的。
30.答案 E
命题透析 细节理解题。
思路点拨 由倒数第二段最后一句可知,研究人员认为,这种混合关联可能是由于PM2.5化学成分的变化,
PM2.5是固体和液体颗粒的复杂混合物。说明导致混合关联的是PM2.5成分的变化。
31.答案 D
命题透析 标题归纳题。
思路点拨 文章讲述的是研究人员发现,长期暴露于PM2.5和二氧化氮下会增加患结肠直肠癌和前列腺癌的风险。即使是长期置身于低水平的空气污染也可能使老年人特别容易患上这些癌症。

You may have heard the old saying, “The more, the merrier.” It’s usually true, but not for travel. When it comes to travel, I say, “The more, the messier.”
I first figured this out a few years ago. I bought the cheapest airline ticket I could find: the Philippines. It turned out great! Once, I went on a long hike and missed the last bus back to town. No problem! Because I was traveling alone, I was able to ride with some Swiss tourists who only had one extra seat in their van(货车). Traveling alone, I was never really alone at all. It was easier to meet people. I talked to everyone I met.
I’m not alone in my preference for solo travel. According to the Daily Mail, there has been a 143 percent increase in “solo travel” internet searches over the past three years. This makes it one of the fastest growing parts of the travel industry.
To me, it’s obvious why people like it. It’s easier to plan. Just pack your bag and go straight to your dream place. If you involve other people, you’ll have to make compromises with your time and money.
Besides freedom, for some people, solo travel is a journey for the mind and soul. They believe solo travel helps them escape trivial (琐碎的) problems of daily life and social activities. “I need peace. I need quiet,” said Suzanne Joinson in the Telegraph. “And most of all, I really, really need to be alone.” No wonder US author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”
32. What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning the old saying at the beginning of the text?
A. To arouse people’s thinking. B. To prove it’s completely wrong.
C. To introduce his opinion on travel. D. To show people’s opinions on happiness.
33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Few people prefer solo travel. B. Not all the people like solo travel.
C. Some other people also like solo travel. D. The author doesn’t feel lonely when travelling alone.
34. According to the context, if people travel with their friends or families,___________.
A. it’s easier to plan B. they will have more freedom
C. they can find their inner peace D. they need to compromise with their time and money
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Solo Travel: Lonelier but Freer B. Solo Travel: a Journey for the Soul
C. Solo Travel: the Best Way of Travelling D. Solo Travel: a Merrier Way of Travelling
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇论述旅行方式选择的说明文,作者通过个人经历和数据统计,阐述了独自旅行的好处和它在旅行行业中的增长趋势。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。作者在文章开头引用了老话“The more, the merrier.(人越多,越快乐)”,目的是为了引出自己对旅行的看法,即在旅行中,人多并不一定更好,反而可能导致混乱。因此,选项C To introduce his opinion on travel.(介绍他对旅行的看法)是正确的。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。第三段中的划线句子“I’m not alone in my preference for solo travel.(我不是唯一一个喜欢独自旅行的人)”意味着除了作者之外,还有其他人也喜欢独自旅行。因此,选项C Some other people also like solo travel.(还有一些人也喜欢独自旅行)是正确的。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“If you involve other people, you’ll have to make compromises with your time and money. (如果你涉及其他人,你将不得不在时间和金钱上做出妥协。)”可知,如果人们与朋友或家人一起旅行,他们将不得不在时间和金钱上做出妥协。因此,选项D they need to compromise with their time and money(他们需要在时间和金钱上做出妥协)是正确的。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Traveling alone, I was never really alone at all. It was easier to meet people. I talked to everyone I met.(独自旅行,我从来没有真正感到孤独。更容易结识朋友。我和遇到每个人都聊过。)”可知,作者虽独行,但并不孤独,所以A选项不正确;根据最后一段 “Besides freedom, for some people, solo travel is a journey for the mind and soul.(除了自由,对一些人来说,独自旅行是一场心灵之旅。)"可知,这只是人们 喜欢Solo Travel的原因之一,并不是全文的主旨,故B选项不正确;虽然作者更喜欢Solo Travel,但 他并没有论证Solo Travel就是最好的旅行方式,故C选项不正确。相较而言,D 选项 Solo Travel: a Merrier Way of Travelling(独自旅行:一种更快乐的旅行方式)更准确。故选D项。

Be patient and hold interest for their comments and make some noise to show you are listening carefully. ___39___ In this way you will get the credit for being a good conversationalist as well as a good listener and it will help you to make friends with others.

第二节(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。
From childhood, I was never a fan of football or any sports. My disinterest in “The Beautiful Game” was my attitude, avoiding discussions of football during school lunch breaks in school or dismissing the sports section of the newspaper.
As I grew older, my lack of interest became more obvious. I would go shopping during big games, posting photos on social media to show I had more free time than the people absorbed in their yearly sports. I considered my disengagement from the world of sports an intellectual advantage, a space in my brain reserved for non-sports activities.
However, this attitude of mine became a pressure to me. Casual conversations with friends’ fathers or fellow cab passengers became a challenge. The well-intentioned openers like, “Hey, terrible season we’re having, eh?” or “Who do you support?” made me feel my heart sink, not knowing what to reply. Though I still found football boring, I was starting to regret my outsider status.
The turning point came when I became a father myself. Fearing that my boy Harvey would lack the social involvement of football, I decided to change. So, I brought a football to the playground and I bought him a mini football table at home. I even took the brave step of buying tickets to watch our local team, Boreham Wood.
The friendly atmosphere of the Meadow Park Stadium, the home ground of Boreham Wood, immediately surprised me: low-key, free parking on the street, and £2.50 for a bag of chips. Families surrounded us, all with a real connection to the players on the field.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

With each visit to the stadium, our connection to football deepened.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Slowly but surely, I found myself engaged in the game. Harvey’ endless questions about the sport fueled my curiosity, making me more focused. Besides, the exciting atmosphere of the stadium became infectious, which inspired a genuine passion within me. Though some elements of the football culture were still unfamiliar to me, I found myself cheering and celebrating with fellow fans. I discussed with them, shared our thoughts on the players’ performance, and even predicted the outcome of the match. When we walked out of the stadium, our discussion about the game continued, showing the unexpected joy football had brought into our lives.
With each visit to the stadium, our connection to football deepened. The following matches became more than mere routine outings; they were shared moments of excitement and connection with my son. The stadium, once an unfamiliar place, transformed into a comforting ground where families gathered to share the joy of the game. As we cheered for Boreham Wood, I discovered the beauty of sports extending beyond the field-connecting people, creating memories, and fostering a sense of community. Football became more than just a sport but an activity that not only changed my life but also strengthened the father-son relationship.
