A World Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, is an annual event organized by the UNESCO to promote reading, publishing and copyright. The first World Book Day was celebrated in Spain on April 23 in 1995. Let’s take a look at the world’s fascinating libraries and enjoy the fun of reading. Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading Located in the center of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading is a library and cultural institution. It was built in the late 19th century under the stewardship of an association of Portuguese migrants. Open to the public since 1900, the cabinet has the largest collection of Portuguese literature outside Portugal, holding more than 350,000 books. Stuttgart City Library Stuttgart City Library is a cube outside with a hollow design inside. The hollow part is connected with misplaced stairs to create a unique sense of space. Since its completion in 2011, it has become a local cultural card and a “instagrammable” place for many tourists in Germany. Wormhole Library Located in Haikou, South China’s Hainan province, the symbolic and artistic Wormhole Library, completed in 2021, provides the public with an ideal spot for reading and resting. It has a reading space that can hold around 10,000 books and has a multifunctional audio-visual area, as well as leisure areas such as cafes, baby care rooms, a common room and a rooftop garden. 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍了世界上三个迷人的图书馆。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“The first World Book Day was celebrated in Spain on April 23 in 1995. (1995年4月23日，西班牙庆祝了第一个世界图书日)”可知，第一个世界读书日是在1995年庆祝的。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Stuttgart City Library部分中“Since its completion in 2011, it has become a local cultural card and a “instagrammable” place for many tourists in Germany. (自2011年建成以来，它已成为德国当地的一张文化名片，也是许多游客“喜欢在Instagram上分享的”地方)”可知，Germany的斯图加特市立图书馆是很多游客喜欢在Instagram上分享的地方，所以社交网络应用爱好者可能会去德国。注：“instagrammable”是一个流行的英语词汇，用来形容一个地方、物体或事件非常适合拍照并分享到Instagram等社交媒体平台上。这个词强调了某个场景或物体的视觉吸引力，以及它在社交媒体上的分享潜力。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Wormhole Library部分中“Located in Haikou, South China’s Hainan province, the symbolic and artistic Wormhole Library, completed in 2021, provides the public with an ideal spot for reading and resting. It has a reading space that can hold around 10,000 books and has a multifunctional audio-visual area, as well as leisure areas such as cafes, baby care rooms, a common room and a rooftop garden (位于中国南部海南省海口市具有象征性和艺术性的虫洞图书馆于2021年竣工，为公众提供了一个理想的阅读和休息场所。它有一个可容纳约10000本书的阅读空间，还有一个多功能视听区，以及咖啡馆、婴儿护理室、公共休息室和屋顶花园等休闲区。)”可知，虫洞图书馆具有象征性和艺术性，馆内设有多功能视听区，融入了现代建筑技术。所以它是建筑艺术和现代技术的结合。故选C。 B “Mommy!” I called over my shoulder. “Grace is here!” Our neighbor, Grace, stood on our front door holding a cardboard box. It took Mom a few minutes to get to the front door. At forty-two, her health wasn’t good. She smiled at our next-door neighbor. “Come in and have a cup of coffee.” “I can’t stay, Nancy,” Grace answered. “I just thought you all might be able to use some of this food. We get more at those giveaways than we can use.” I felt relieved that Grace couldn’t stay. She was friendly enough, but she and her husband drank a lot and they were given to loud arguments late at night. Sometimes, the police had to come and break up the fights. I was a little frightened of them. Grace placed the box on the kitchen table. Mom, who was not the sentimental type, got tears in her eyes. “Grace! We can’t take this.” Dad wandered in from the bedroom where he had been napping. He wasn’t dealing very well with the unemployment at the processing plant. “We don’t accept charity,” he said. “Now, Jim,” said Grace, “this is no time for your pride. You have two little girls and a sick wife to think of. This isn’t charity. It’s one neighbor helping another.” I stood a little distance from the grownups, looking into each of their faces, wondering what was going to happen next. “I thank you kindly,” Dad said at last. When she was gone, we examined the contents of the box. It wasn’t what we were used to. Mom smiled and said, “This will get us through for a couple of weeks.” The gesture from Grace confused me because she wasn’t family, or close friends with us. Even though I didn’t like most of the food in that box, I knew there was something significant about this woman’s generosity. She didn’t have much to give, but she gave what she had at a time when our family needed help. 4. Why did Grace come to pay a visit to the family? A. She delivered the leftovers to the family. B. She brought food to the neighbor in need. C. She apologized for making noises late at night. D. She wanted to change the impression made on neighbors. 5. What do we know about the writer’s family? A. It went through a huge loss. B. It struggled against a great change. C. It experienced pressure of life survival. D. It was talked about in the neighbourhood. 6. Which of the following best describes Grace? A. Generous and anxious. B. Kind and grateful. C. Friendly and curious. D. Warmhearted and considerate. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A neighbor’s helping hand. B. The friendship between two families. C. A struggling family seeking hope. D. Food sharing in the neighborhood. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个家庭在困难时期收到了邻居送来的食物帮助，尽管父亲不愿意接受慈善，但邻居的慷慨无私最终感动了他们，这个家庭的成员们体会到了邻里之间在困难时刻相互帮助的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Grace answered. “I just thought you all might be able to use some of this food. We get more at those giveaways than we can use.” (Grace回答说：“我只是想你们可能可以用得上一些这些食物。我们在那些赠品活动中得到的食物比我们能用的多。”)”可知，Grace的来访是想给作者一家提供一些食物。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“At forty-two, her health wasn’t good. She smiled at our next-door neighbor. (42岁时，她的健康状况不佳。她朝我们隔壁的邻居微笑)”以及第三段中“Dad wandered in from the bedroom where he had been napping. He wasn’t dealing very well with the unemployment at the processing plant. (爸爸从他午睡的卧室里走了进来。他没有很好地处理加工厂的失业问题)”以及最后一段中“Mom smiled and said, “This will get us through for a couple of weeks.” (妈妈笑着说：“这些食物够我们过几个星期了。”)”可知，作者一家中母亲身体健康状况不佳，同时父亲还正处于失业中，Grace送来的食物够作者一家撑过几个星期了。由此推知，这个家庭正在经历生活的压力。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Grace answered. “I just thought you all might be able to use some of this food. We get more at those giveaways than we can use.” (Grace回答说：“我只是想你们可能可以用得上一些这些食物。我们在那些赠品活动中得到的食物比我们能用的多。”)”以及第三段中““Now, Jim,” said Grace, “this is no time for your pride. You have two little girls and a sick wife to think of. This isn’t charity. It’s one neighbor helping another.” (“好了，Jim，” Grace说，“现在不是你骄傲的时候。你有两个小女儿和生病的妻子要考虑。这不是慈善。这是一个邻居互相帮助。”)”可知，Grace在看到邻居有困难时，无私地送来了食物，而且还劝说Jim不要客气。由此推知，她是一个善良体贴的人。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了一个家庭在困难时期收到了邻居送来的食物帮助，尽管父亲不愿意接受慈善，但邻居的慷慨无私最终感动了他们，这个家庭的成员们体会到了邻里之间在困难时刻相互帮助的重要性。由此可知，A选项“A neighbor’s helping hand.(邻居的援助之手)”概括文章的主要内容。故选A。 C Bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem, but the move by the Sherrard School in California, to set equipment inside toilets to catch bullying incidents is getting a lot of attention. The school has put up a campus alarm system in sensitive places such as toilets that employs voice recognition and sensitive word activation, so that if someone is being bullied, the system can alert members of staff by sending specific signals. The system uses artificial intelligence for voice recognition, but its effectiveness doesn’t depend only on these technologies. More important than the technology are the members of the school staff that are arranged to respond quickly and effectively to the warning calls. Basically, technology serves as a way of reporting instances of bullying to the school authorities. What is truly noteworthy is the authorities’ realization that timely intervention is required to stop bullying. In most cases of bullying in schools, educators and the administrators have overlooked early warning signs. And this can, at times, prove fatal. For instance, in a recent tragic case in Indiana, three junior school students plotted and took the life of their 10-year-old classmate. If the school had paid closer attention to the bullying, the tragedy could perhaps have been prevented. Returning to the system in California, should it prove effective, relevant government bodies can consider applying similar mechanisms in other schools to hold back bullying on campus. However, it is significant for them to bear in mind that it is human action, not just technology, that can help address this universal issue. Technology can definitely serve as a vital tool, but it is the human element — attentiveness, care, and timely intervention — that ultimately holds the key to creating a safer environment for all students. 8. How does the campus alarm system at Sherrard School work? A. It uses artificial intelligence to identify figures in the toilets. B. It allows students to activate an alarm through a physical button. C. It functions by using direct observation within the toilet facilities. D. It operates by listening for key words and using voice recognition. 9. What is the problem in stopping bullying according to paragraph 3? A. The lack of technology in schools. B. The inability of students to report bullying. C. The failure to recognize early warning signs. D. The absence of approaches to defining bullying. 10 Why the case in Indiana is mentioned in this passage? A. To show bullying is getting worse and worse. B. To present middle school students are in danger. C. To stress closer human attention should be paid. D. To answer why school bullying is uncontrollable. 11. What’s the writing purpose of this passage? A. To argue creating a safer environment for students is important. B. To explain humans can do more than technology to stop bullying. C. To present bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem. D. To prove the Sherrard School sets an good example to other schools. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了校园霸凌日益成为一个问题，指出解决这一问题的关键在于人们的及时干预和预防，技术只是一种辅助手段。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The school has put up a campus alarm system in sensitive places such as toilets that employs voice recognition and sensitive word activation, so that if someone is being bullied, the system can alert members of staff by sending specific signals.(学校在厕所等敏感场所安装了校园警报系统，该系统采用语音识别和敏感词激活，因此，如果有人受到欺凌，该系统可以通过发送特定信号来提醒工作人员)”可知，Sherrard学校的校园报警系统是通过听关键词和语音识别来运作的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In most cases of bullying in schools, educators and the administrators have overlooked early warning signs.(在大多数校园欺凌事件中，教育工作者和管理人员都忽视了早期预警信号)”可知，制止欺凌问题是未能识别早期预警信号。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In most cases of bullying in schools, educators and the administrators have overlooked early warning signs. And this can, at times, prove fatal. For instance, in a recent tragic case in Indiana, three junior school students plotted and took the life of their 10-year-old classmate. If the school had paid closer attention to the bullying, the tragedy could perhaps have been prevented.(在大多数学校欺凌事件中，教育工作者和管理人员忽视了早期预警信号。这有时会被证明是致命的。例如，最近在印第安纳州发生的一起悲剧事件中，三名小学生密谋杀害了他们10岁的同学。如果学校能更密切地关注欺凌事件，这场悲剧也许可以避免)”可知，文章中提到了印第安纳州的案例是为了强调应该给予霸凌早期预警信号更密切的人类关注。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, it is significant for them to bear in mind that it is human action, not just technology, that can help address this universal issue. Technology can definitely serve as a vital tool, but it is the human element — attentiveness, care, and timely intervention — that ultimately holds the key to creating a safer environment for all students.(然而，对他们来说，重要的是要记住，这是人类的行动，而不仅仅是技术，可以帮助解决这个普遍问题。技术肯定是一种重要的工具，但正是人为因素——注意力、关心和及时干预——最终决定了为所有学生创造一个更安全环境的关键)”可知，文章的写作目的是解释人类可以比技术做更多的事情来阻止欺凌。故选B。 D The internet, once only a tool for communication, has quickly become a gateway to countless gaming adventures.

A World Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, is an annual event organized by the UNESCO to promote reading, publishing and copyright. The first World Book Day was celebrated in Spain on April 23 in 1995. Let’s take a look at the world’s fascinating libraries and enjoy the fun of reading. Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading Located in the center of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading is a library and cultural institution. It was built in the late 19th century under the stewardship of an association of Portuguese migrants. Open to the public since 1900, the cabinet has the largest collection of Portuguese literature outside Portugal, holding more than 350,000 books. Stuttgart City Library Stuttgart City Library is a cube outside with a hollow design inside. The hollow part is connected with misplaced stairs to create a unique sense of space. Since its completion in 2011, it has become a local cultural card and a “instagrammable” place for many tourists in Germany. Wormhole Library Located in Haikou, South China’s Hainan province, the symbolic and artistic Wormhole Library, completed in 2021, provides the public with an ideal spot for reading and resting. It has a reading space that can hold around 10,000 books and has a multifunctional audio-visual area, as well as leisure areas such as cafes, baby care rooms, a common room and a rooftop garden. 1. When was the first World Book Day celebrated? A. In 1900. B. in 1995. C. In 2002. D. In 2006. 2. According to the passage, where would a social networking app lover probably go? A. Germany. B. Brazil. C. Spain. D. China. 3. What do we know about Wormhole Library? A. It is the newest one among all the libraries in the world. B. It is a symbol of history dating back to the late 19th century. C. It is a combination of architecture art and modern technology. D. It is a typical representative of a local culture for many tourists. B “Mommy!” I called over my shoulder. “Grace is here!” Our neighbor, Grace, stood on our front door holding a cardboard box. It took Mom a few minutes to get to the front door. At forty-two, her health wasn’t good. She smiled at our next-door neighbor. “Come in and have a cup of coffee.” “I can’t stay, Nancy,” Grace answered. “I just thought you all might be able to use some of this food. We get more at those giveaways than we can use.” I felt relieved that Grace couldn’t stay. She was friendly enough, but she and her husband drank a lot and they were given to loud arguments late at night. Sometimes, the police had to come and break up the fights. I was a little frightened of them. Grace placed the box on the kitchen table. Mom, who was not the sentimental type, got tears in her eyes. “Grace! We can’t take this.” Dad wandered in from the bedroom where he had been napping. He wasn’t dealing very well with the unemployment at the processing plant. “We don’t accept charity,” he said. “Now, Jim,” said Grace, “this is no time for your pride. You have two little girls and a sick wife to think of. This isn’t charity. It’s one neighbor helping another.” I stood a little distance from the grownups, looking into each of their faces, wondering what was going to happen next. “I thank you kindly,” Dad said at last. When she was gone, we examined the contents of the box. It wasn’t what we were used to. Mom smiled and said, “This will get us through for a couple of weeks.” The gesture from Grace confused me because she wasn’t family, or close friends with us. Even though I didn’t like most of the food in that box, I knew there was something significant about this woman’s generosity. She didn’t have much to give, but she gave what she had at a time when our family needed help. 4. Why did Grace come to pay a visit to the family? A. She delivered the leftovers to the family. B. She brought food to the neighbor in need. C. She apologized for making noises late at night. D. She wanted to change the impression made on neighbors. 5. What do we know about the writer’s family? A. It went through a huge loss. B. It struggled against a great change. C. It experienced pressure of life survival. D. It was talked about in the neighbourhood. 6. Which of the following best describes Grace? A. Generous and anxious. B. Kind and grateful. C. Friendly and curious. D. Warmhearted and considerate. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A neighbor’s helping hand. B. The friendship between two families. C. A struggling family seeking hope. D. Food sharing in the neighborhood. C Bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem but the move by the Sherrard School in California, to set equipment inside toilets to catch bullying incidents is getting a lot of attention. The school has put up a campus alarm system in sensitive places such as toilets that employs voice recognition and sensitive word activation, so that if someone is being bullied, the system can alert members of staff by sending specific signals. The system uses artificial intelligence for voice recognition, but its effectiveness doesn’t depend only on these technologies. More important than the technology are the members of the school staff that are arranged to respond quickly and effectively to the warning calls. Basically, technology serves as a way of reporting instances of bullying to the school authorities. What is truly noteworthy is the authorities’ realization that timely intervention is required to stop bullying. In most cases of bullying in schools, educators and the administrators have overlooked early warning signs. And this can, at times, prove fatal. For instance, in a recent tragic case in Indiana, three junior school students plotted and took the life of their 10-year-old classmate. If the school had paid closer attention to the bullying, the tragedy could perhaps have been prevented. Returning to the system in California, should it prove effective, relevant government bodies can consider applying similar mechanisms in other schools to hold back bullying on campus. However, it is significant for them to bear in mind that it is human action, not just technology, that can help address this universal issue. Technology can definitely serve as a vital tool, but it is the human element — attentiveness, care, and timely intervention — that ultimately holds the key to creating a safer environment for all students. 8. How does the campus alarm system at Sherrard School work? A. It uses artificial intelligence to identify figures in the toilets. B. It allows students to activate an alarm through a physical button. C. It functions by using direct observation within the toilet facilities. D. It operates by listening for key words and using voice recognition. 9. What is the problem in stopping bullying according to paragraph 3? A. The lack of technology in schools. B. The inability of students to report bullying. C. The failure to recognize early warning signs. D. The absence of approaches to defining bullying. 10. Why the case in Indiana is mentioned in this passage? A. To show bullying is getting worse and worse. B. To present middle school students are in danger. C. To stress closer human attention should be paid. D. To answer why school bullying is uncontrollable. 11. What’s the writing purpose of this passage? A. To argue creating a safer environment for students is important. B. To explain humans can do more than technology to stop bullying. C. To present bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem. D. To prove the Sherrard School sets an good example to other schools. D The internet, once only a tool for communication, has quickly become a gateway to countless gaming adventures.
