B Holly Lillard went outside just to wash the windows.She didn't go out that day to help save a pet—or a person.But that's what happened when she found a lost cat named Tucker and closed a 600-mile gap to return him to his owner,McCall. Tucker's adventure began in early November 2022,when McCall spent the night in a hotel in the tiny town of Cleveland.The retired electrician was driving from Florida to Michigan to visit a sick relative.Her budget was tight,and her head was full of questions.In the previous two years,McCall had lost her husband to cancer,and their grandson to violence.And a workplace accident had left McCall partially disabled.But even as everything changed around her,the future held one certainty:she'd have her two cats,Tucker and the 20-pounder she calls Fat Cat.The companionship and the routine of having to care for theanimalswere a lifeline when all else was turned upside down. McCall planned to spend the night in Cleveland and drive on.When McCall returned from breakfast the next morning,ready to pack up and hit the road again, Tucker was gone from her hotel room,Panicked,she searched along the busy road for hours,but he was nowhere to be found.She couldn't afford to stay another night. Heartbroken,she got in her car and got back on the interstate, The next day,Lillard went to wash the back windows of her shop,just down the road across from the hotel where McCall had stayed.The moment she spotted Tucker,she knew he wasn't one of the usual strays—he trotted(小跑)straight to her and looked well fed.Lillard took Tucker home,and posted his story in a lost-pet Facebook group.McCall,too,had been posting about Tucker.Within hours, someone made the connection,and soon McCall was on the phone with Lillard, hearing Tucker's cries and sobbing with relief. McCall's luck was changing.Lillard's grandfather was planning a trip to Michigan,and Lillard was happy to shelter Tucker until the cat could take a ride with him.One month later,Tucker was hand-deliveredto McCall's doorstep and reunited with her in the presence of Lillard,whom the misty-eyed owner couldn't thank too much. 24.What do we know about McCall from paragraph 2?

C One afternoon,as we approached a mine from the air,a crew of panicked miners went running into the forest.As I followed their progress,something caught my eye:two macaws,flying away like crazy.After we landed,I found macaw feathers,yellow and blue,hanging on a string from a pole in the camp.Cabral shook his head and said that the miners must have hunted and eaten the bird,“The animals Die a silent death,”he said mournfully.For a public servant,Cabral is unusually outspoken —at least on Instagram,where his account is devoted to strongly criticizing animal cruelty. At the camp,Finger told Cabral that he had found signs of an active site deeper in the forest.We followed him,moving silently along a path through the woods.As we advanced,we could hear a dog barking.There in a clearing was a wooden hut, abandoned except for a black dog,yowling miserably.Then we heard a strange noise from a box next to the hut.Cabral lifted a plastic cover,revealing a mass of puppies, just a few days old.He picked up a couple and held them,then walked to a shelf where the miners had been drying wildlife meat.He threw a piece to the mother dog, which began wolfing it. Early in his career,Cabral acquired the nickname Rambo,but it seemed mostly like a joke.He had taken up armed patrols( 巡逻)only in service of wildlife conservation,his lifelong passion.He came from Juiz de Fora,a city in Brazil's central part,and spent his childhood immersed in nature,watching wildlife programs and reading about animals. “This is all I ever wanted to do,”he told me.He earned a degree in biology and another in ecology,then joined IBAMA,a branch of the environment ministry that protects threatened ecosystems.In 2013,Cabral secured approval to build a unit of rangers( 护 林 员 )who were committed to saving the environment,by force if necessary. 28.Why did the miners get so panicked that they ran into the forest? A.Because they mined illegally. B.Because they mistook“us"”as invaders. C.Because they killed animals cruelly. D.Because they camped without permission. 29.What was Cabral's career? A.Fighting against evils like Rambo. B.Protecting wildlife,by force if necessary. C.Volunteering in service of wildlife conservation. D.Filming wildlife programs in nature. 30.What do we know about IMAMA? A.It centered on wildlife protection, B.It originally built a unit of armed rangers, C.It was co-founded by Cabral. D.It worked as branch of a non-profit organization. 31.Which can best describe Cabral? A.Passionate and devoted. B.Smart and straightforward. C.Cooperative and courageous.D.Intelligent and knowledgeable. D If you had to use one word to define yourself,what would it be?Imagine trying to summarize your entire being in just one word or two—a challenging task indeed. Labels,like“confident”or“creative”,may suggest certain aspects,but they can never fully capture the richness and depth of a person's character.Labels take on an “all-or-nothing”meaning.Someone either is something,or they're not. The biggest problem with labeling people is that it oversimplifies their complex nature.Using labels infers people's current behavior is fixed,but people change.As they learn,they grow,and someone we think of in a certain way today might not remain the same in a few months or years.When we label people,we deny their complexity,their right to change,and their richness as human beings. Furthermore,labels can become self-fulflling prophecies(预言).When people are constantly told they are a certain way,they may start to remember these labels and act accordingly.This hinders their potential for growth and development,as they may feel trapped by social expectations.For example,if parents label a child as “annoying”or“a complainer”,the child may feel their needs aren't important.Over time,being ignored for complaining too much can lead the child to believe that expressing their needs is not acceptable.Consequently,their self-perception(自我认知)may suffer,and they may even start todevalue themselves as a result. Linguist Benjamin Wharf once argued that the words we use to describe what we see are rarely objective,as they carry personal prejudice.Labels can be harmful because they can reduce individuals to a single characteristic or stereotype. Therefore,we should be mindful of the language we use and the labels we attach to people.By adopting a more open view of life,people,and events,we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience,and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world. 32.What is the biggest problem with labeling people? A.It expresses a subjective opinion. B.It ignores the complexity of humans. C.It overstates people's shortcomings. D.It denies goodness in human nature. 33.What does the underlined word “hinders”in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Exposes. B.Enhances. C.Restricts. D.Determines. 34.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A.To present the bad effects of labeling on people. B.To show the importance of using language skillfully. C.To prove people's natural tendency to be prejudiced. D.To encourage people to take an open-minded perspective. 35.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A.Stop Labeling People. B.Define Yourself Objectively. C.Children Suffer a Lot from Labels. D.Different Individuals Diversify the World. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 中有两项为多余选项。 How Peer Pressure Influences Your Child Peer pressure can affect your child's behavior in positive and negative ways. 36 Peer pressure is the influence from people who are members of the same social group.It is also the term used to describe the effect this influence has on a person to conform(从众)in order to be accepted by the group. 37 And while your child's friends are their peers,peers can also be anyone of a similar social position, such as people who are the same age,who have the same abilities,or who share a social position. People commonly think of peer pressure in a negative light. 38 Sometimes peer pressure is used to positively influence people,such as when teens work toward common goals such as doing well in school or helping out in their community.Learning about acceptable group norms can be a positive part of learning how to live with and socialize with others. 39 For example,natural leaders tend to be less likely to be influenced by negative forms of peer pressure,while followers may have a harder time resisting it. It's important to prepare for dealing with peer pressure,One of the most important things to help your child deal with negative peer pressure is to talk to them about it.__ 40 If your child is being negatively affected by peer pressure,let them know you are someone they can trust and offer to make a plan for getting out of a bad situation. A.Often,peers are thought of as friends. B.It can do great harm to his or her health. C.In reality,however,it's not always a bad thing. D.Here's what you should know about helping your child manage it. E.Different people may have differentways to deal with peer pressure. F.How a child responds to peer pressure can highlight different personalities. G.Help them develop the skills to think independently and encourage self-confidence. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A 、B 、C 、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 I still remember the day waiting in line to receive my high school diploma(毕业文凭).After that weekend my high school classmates and I would go our 41 ways.Many planned on attending colleges far away,as I did.Others had jobs lined up and a few were imagining the 42 in the future.
