The Matrix (1999) IMDb (Internet Movie Database): 8.7/10 | Runtime: 136 minutes The Matrix is a science fiction film that stars Keanu Reeves as a hacker who discovers the world he lives in is an illusion crafted by malevolent Artificial Intelligence.

Society of the Snow (2023) IMDb: 7.7/10 | Runtime: 144 minutes In 1972, a Uruguayan flight crashed on the way to Chile, and the survivors of the wreck had to work together to survive in the of the Snow.

B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章为读者推荐了四部在Netflix上可以观看的电影，包括科幻片、纪录片、体育剧情片和历史剧情片，旨在为不同口味的观众提供选择。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Matrix (1999)下“IMDb (Internet Movie Database): 8.7/10 | Runtime: 136 minutes (IMDb（互联网电影数据库）：8.7/10 | 时长：136分钟)”可知，《黑客帝国》在IMDb上的评分是8.7/10，是这几部电影中评分最高的，所以对于重视在线评分的人来说，《黑客帝国》是他们的首选。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据American Symphony (2023)下“The documentary (纪录片) tells the story of Grammy winner Jon Batiste and his wife, Suleika Jaouad. It’s a beautiful tale of love and resilience, with Variety Magazine calling it “one of the best love stories seen on film.”(这部纪录片讲述了格莱美奖得主Jon Batiste和他的妻子Suleika Jaouad的故事。这是一个关于爱和韧性的美丽故事，Variety杂志称它为“电影上看到的最好的爱情故事之一。”)”可知，American Symphony是一部纪录片，讲述了一个真实的故事；根据Nyad (2023)下“As expected from most sports dramas and biopics, Nyad shares a story of perseverance, the triumphs of determination, and a message of hope. (正如大多数体育剧和传记片所预期的那样，Nyad分享了一个关于毅力、决心的胜利和希望的信息。)”可知，Nyad也是一部基于真实故事改编的电影；根据Society of the Snow (2023)下“In 1972, a Uruguayan flight crashed on the way to Chile, and the survivors of the wreck had to work together to survive in the of the Snow.(1972年，一架乌拉圭航班在飞往智利途中坠毁，幸存者不得不共同努力在雪地中生存。)”可知，Society of the Snow也是根据真实事件改编的电影。由此可以推知，这三部电影的共同点是它们都是基于真实故事改编的。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Summer is finally in the air, but that doesn't mean you can't still stay in and have a great movie night. Whether you're looking for something deep and thought-provoking or light for the whole family, there are many incredible films on Netflix.(夏天终于来了，但这并不意味着你还不能呆在家里度过一个美好的电影之夜。无论你是在寻找一些深刻的、发人深省的东西，还是适合全家人观看的轻松电影，Netflix上都有许多令人难以置信的电影。)”可知，本文主要介绍了几部值得在家观看的电影，因此这篇文章主要是面向电影观众的。故选C项。 B I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate (模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans. I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there’s no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans. Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul (白头鹎). The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it’s relatively easy to socialize. But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released. When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful. 4. What do we know about the author’s job? A. It was his initial career choice. B. It forbids close interaction with animals. C. It mainly aims to cure the injured animals. D. It involves both rescue and release efforts. 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to release the rescued animals? A. Ambitious. B. Cheerful. C. Sorrowful. D. Anxious. 6. Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3? A. Was attached to. B. Was aware of. C. Was sensitive to. D. Was cautious of. 7. What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work? A. Animals’ faith in humans. B. Human’s knowledge in the work. C. Human’s attitude towards animals. D. Animals’ ability to survive in the wild. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为记叙文。作者分享了自己作为野生动物救援工作者的亲身经历和感受，讲述了救助并放归野生动物的过程，以及对于这份工作的看法和情感。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. (我曾经想成为一名动物园管理员，但在成为一名野生动物救援人员后，我发现这份工作比我想象的更有价值。我不仅可以帮助受伤的野生动物，还可以帮助它们重返野外。)”可知，作者的工作既包括救助受伤的野生动物，也涉及帮助它们回归野外。 故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. (经常有人问我，当要放生动物的时候，我是否感到难过——说实话，我总是很愿意放生它们的。)”可知，当被问及放生动物时是否感到悲伤，作者表示自己总是很愿意放它们走。这表明作者对此是感到高兴的。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. (但飞行羽毛的损伤推迟了它回归野外的时间)”和“during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released. (在接下来的两个月里，这是认知能力发展的关键时期，因此它在被释放后又回到了我们身边。)”可知，这只鸟因为受伤延迟了回归野外的时间，并且在接下来的两个月里与人类建立了联系，导致它被放生后又回到了人类身边。因此，imprinted on在这里的意思是“变得依恋于”。A. Was attached to依恋；B. Was aware of意识到；C. Was sensitive to对……很敏感；D. Was cautious of对……很谨慎。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful. (如果它们变得过于信任人类，很有可能，我们的成功不是取决于动物，也不是取决于我们在这里的工作，更重要的是取决于人类不会是坏事的态度，然后我们的释放尝试可能会成功。)”可知，野生动物救援工作的成功关键在于人类对待动物的态度。故选C。 C Rena, 18 months, is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home, hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit. The infants’ (婴儿) presences meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older, especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65. The nursing home’s director, Kimie Gondo, came up with the idea of baby workers three years ago when her own newborn granddaughter was visiting and she saw how happy it made the residents. The nursing home now has about 70 baby workers strolling around the nursing home with their parents, mostly mothers. Rena and her colleagues are paid in diapers (纸尿裤) and ice cream. But those are not the only rewards. “Here she gets to interact with kids her age and also with grandfathers and grandmothers who are a bit more difficult to come across,” said Shinohara, Rena’s mother,who called the nursing home residents “great life teachers”. Rena and her small colleagues work flexible hours but they don't have long in the business-having to retire before the age of three. A key requirement for the toddlers is that they should speak as little as possible. That’s because older people can struggle to speak and communicate, especially if they have cognitive impairment (认知障碍),” In order to communicate on the same level,words are unnecessary,” she added. For nursing home residents, Gondo said, the visits from toddlers provide the common experience of family members from multiple generations living under the same roof. “Even if they enter a facility like this, they should be able to interact with people from various age groups on a daily basis,” she said. “I think that’s only natural.” 8. Why does Kimie Gondo carry out her idea in the nursing home? A. To provide jobs for mothers. B. To prevent the elderly from ageing. C. To amuse grandchildren during visits. D. To promote the well-being of residents. 9. What’s the extra benefit for the baby workers according to Shinohara? A. Tasty snacks. B. Parent-kid relationship. C. Daily essentials. D. Interpersonal experience. 10. Why is there a restriction on retiring age of baby workers? A. Words might lessen the effect. B. Flexible hours could be guaranteed. C. Cognitive Impairment could be avoided. D. Over-aged workers have low language levels. 11. Which can be the best title of this passage? A. Babies helping remove cognitive barriers B. Babies replacing caregivers in nursing homes C. Baby workers tackling loneliness of the elderly D. Baby workers running a Japanese nursing home 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了日本一家养老院雇佣婴儿工人来陪伴老年人，以缓解他们的孤独感，提高生活质量。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Rena, 18 months, is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home, hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit. The infants’ presences meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older, especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65.(18个月大的Rena是日本一家养老院的婴儿工，她的工作是让那些自己的孙子孙女很少来看望的老人的日子变得愉快。这些婴儿的存在是为了缓解随着年龄增长而带来的孤独感，尤其是在这个快速老龄化的国家，三分之一的人口超过65岁。)”和文章第二段“The nursing home’s director, Kimie Gondo, came up with the idea of baby workers three years ago when her own newborn granddaughter was visiting and she saw how happy it made the residents.(这家养老院的负责人Kimie Gondo三年前在她刚出生的孙女来探望她的时候想到了保姆的想法，她看到这个想法让养老院的老人非常高兴。)”可推知，Kimie Gondo在养老院实施她的想法是为了促进居民的幸福。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Here she gets to interact with kids her age and also with grandfathers and grandmothers who are a bit more difficult to come across,” said Shinohara, Rena’s mother, who called the nursing home residents “great life teachers”.(Rena母亲 Shinohara说：“在这里，她可以和同龄的孩子互动，也可以和不太容易遇到的爷爷奶奶们交流。”她称养老院的居民为“很棒的人生导师”。)”可知，婴儿工人可以获得与不同年龄层次的人交往的经验，即人际交往经验。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“A key requirement for the toddlers is that they should speak as little as possible. That’s because older people can struggle to speak and communicate, especially if they have cognitive impairment (认知障碍),” In order to communicate on the same level,words are unnecessary,” she added.(对于幼儿来说，一个关键的要求是他们应该尽量少说话。这是因为老年人可能难以说话和交流，特别是如果他们有认知障碍，”她补充道，“为了在同一层面上交流，语言并不是必需的。”)”可知，婴儿工人有退休年龄限制的原因是语言可能会影响效果。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Rena, 18 months, is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home, hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit. The infants’ presences meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older, especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65.(18个月大的Rena是日本一家养老院的婴儿工，她的工作是让那些自己的孙子孙女很少来看望的老人的日子变得愉快。这些婴儿的存在是为了缓解随着年龄增长而带来的孤独感，尤其是在这个快速老龄化的国家，三分之一的人口超过65岁。)以及结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了日本一家养老院雇佣婴儿工人来陪伴老年人，以缓解他们的孤独感，提高生活质量。由此可知，C项：Baby workers tackling loneliness of the elderly(婴儿工人解决老年人的孤独问题)是最好的标题。故选C。 D Children exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver’s motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact. Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child’s words, sentences, and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared. Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children’s media use. These factors were then compared to the children’s vocabulary and length using two or more words together. The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children’s vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members. Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching, and whether they can interact with them during this period. Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development. 12. What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children? A. It enhances their vocabulary development. B. It has no significant effect on their language skills. C. It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences. D. It encourages them to read print books more often. 13. What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the study? A. Its research process. B. Its theoretical basis. C. Its underlying logic. D. Its scientific evidence. 14. Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened? A. When children focus on tasks. B. When children get involved in the content. C. When videos serve as entertainment. D. When videos aid learning and bond building. 15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To point out the significance of the study. B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies. C. To present the practical application of the findings. D. To discuss other affecting factors of babies’ growth. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章基于一项关于儿童观看视频与其语言发展之间关系的研究，介绍了研究方法、结果及对未来研究方向的展望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Children exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. (为了安抚情绪或“照顾”孩子而观看由看护人提供的视频的儿童倾向于使用词汇较少的短语和句子。)”可知，由看护者为了让婴儿安静或起到临时照看作用而让他们接触视频的孩子倾向于使用更少词汇的短语和句子。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child’s words, sentences, and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared. (这项研究发表在《儿科学报》杂志上，涉及302名17至30个月大儿童的看护人。照顾者回答了关于孩子的单词、句子以及他们每天花在不同媒体活动上的时间的问题。这些活动包括视频/电视、视频游戏、视频聊天和电子书，看护人解释了他们为什么和孩子一起做这些活动。也比较了纸质书的阅读情况。)”和第三段“Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children’s media use. These factors were then compared to the children’s vocabulary and length using two or more words together. (研究人员调查了孩子们使用媒体的数量，以及照顾者为孩子使用媒体提供的原因。然后将这些因素与孩子们的词汇量和使用两个或两个以上单词的长度进行比较。)”可知，这两段详细介绍了研究的实施过程，包括参与研究的儿童看护者的数量、他们需要回答的问题内容、涉及的媒体活动类型，以及研究人员如何比较和分析这些因素对孩子词汇发展的影响。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members. (然而，当视频用于教育目的或促进社会联系时（例如通过与家人视频聊天），对语言技能的负面影响就会减少。)”可知，当视频用于教育目的或促进社交联系时（如与家庭成员进行视频聊天），对语言技能的负面影响会减轻。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development. (Kucker和她的同事们未来的研究将继续探索幼儿观看的视频类型，他们如何与他人一起使用屏幕，以及这对语言发展的影响。)”可知，其目的是介绍后续研究的重点方向，即继续探索儿童观看的视频类型、他们如何与他人共用屏幕，以及这对语言发展的影响。故选B。 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。 When it comes to wardrobe (衣柜) organization, many of us operate on an out of sight, out of mind basis.

If you can’t see the mess, it doesn’t exist, right?(当谈到衣柜整理时，我们很多人都抱着眼不见心不烦的态度。如果你看不到混乱，它就不存在，对吧？)”提到无视衣柜混乱这种想法，下文“With a bit of planning, you can get that wardrobe looking orderly in no time.(稍加计划，你就能很快让你的衣橱看起来井然有序)”提到让衣橱看起来井然有序，故上文想法是不正确的，需要去面对和改变衣橱的混乱。A 项“Well, it’s time to face it!(好吧，是时候面对它了) ”符合上下文语境，故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“What outcome are you hoping to achieve by rearranging your wardrobe? Do you just want more space? Or maybe you fancy making a bit of extra money by selling the things you don’t wear?(通过重新整理衣柜，你希望达到什么结果？你只是想要更多空间吗？或者也许你想通过卖掉不穿的东西赚点外快)”以及下文“That will help you fine-tune your approach.(这将帮助你微调你的方法)”可知，在开始之前要弄清楚自己的目标。F 项“Either way, figure out your goals before you get started.(不管怎样，在开始之前弄清楚你的目标) ”起到了承上启下的作用，故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Sorting through your wardrobe and deciding what to get rid of is essential for restoring order.(整理你衣柜并决定扔掉什么对于恢复秩序是至关重要的) ”以及下文“Take a cold hard look at your clothes and ask yourself what you really need.(冷酷地看看你的衣服，问问自己真正需要什么)”可知，在整理时不要心软。D 项“And don’t be afraid to be cruel!(而且不要害怕残忍) ”符合语境，故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“A great way to create space is to remove seasonal items from your wardrobe and pack them away in a damp-proof storage bag.(创造空间的一个好方法是把季节性的物品从衣柜里拿出来，用防潮的袋子把它们装起来) ”可知，这些物品需要放在不碍事的地方。E项“These can be somewhere out of the way.(这些可以放在不碍事的地方)”与上文衔接紧密，故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Once you’ve done your clear-out, clean the entire inside of the wardrobe and chest of drawers before replacing items.

Before you add items back inside, remember to hang a scented bag to keep the wardrobe smelling fresh.(一旦你完成了清理，在放回物品之前，要把衣柜和抽屉柜的内部全部清理干净。如果你把鞋子放在衣柜里，你可能会发现后面和角落里有堆积的污垢和杂物，所以一定要把它们擦干净。在把物品放回里面之前，记得挂一个香包，让衣柜保持清新的气味)”可知，这是一些最后的整理工作。C项“Finish with these final touches.(用这些最后的修饰完成)”概括了本段内容，故选C项。 第二部分 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。 Clark, a bald eagle (秃鹰), is a frequent commercial flier.

After school,they would catch fish or swim in it,adding color and fun to their life. When they were in middle school,however,they started to lose the eagerness to play in the river. The once crystal-clear water was now dirty and smelly with garbage such as bottles and plastic bags floating on its surface, and the fish that once swam lively here seemed to be gone.They really got upset about it. Nothing changed until one day Alex attended a lecture on protecting the earth from being polluted in the school. He was shocked to see the terrible pollution caused by human's activities and got to appreciate the importance of protecting the earth. After the lecture,Alex walked home with a heavy heart, concerned about the huge amount of annoying rubbish in the river.Suddenly an idea flashed across his mind. He rushed to Ben's home and couldn't wait to share it with Ben. Later,they went to the riverbank together. “Our river is sick,” said Alex in a worried tone, “We need to find a way to heal it.” “Yes,”said Ben in agreement. “It's our responsibility to protect the hometown river. What can we do?” Alex suggested eagerly, “We should clean up the garbage from the riverbanks at weekends.” Ben nodded thoughtfully and said, “That is a good idea. But it is impossible for only two of us to remove so much garbage. Besides, the villagers may throw garbage into the river again and again.” “You're right! Maybe we need more helpers and also need to educate more people about the importance of keeping our river clean and encourage them to make a change.” Finally,they both decided that something must be done before it was too late. Quickly Alex and Ben went home and began planning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, they put up the posters in and around the village. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Quickly Alex and Ben went home and began planning. They decided to make posters to raise awareness among the villagers about the pollution of the River Jade. They spent hours designing and creating eye-catching posters that depicted the once beautiful river and the current sad state it was in. They also wrote down some practical suggestions on how to keep the river clean, such as not throwing garbage into it and regularly organizing clean-up activities. The next day, they put up the posters in and around the village. At first, not many people paid attention. But Alex and Ben didn't give up. They went from door to door, explaining to the villagers the importance of a clean river. Gradually, some villagers started to show interest and agreed to join their efforts. On the weekend, a group of villagers, young and old, gathered by the riverbank. Together, they spent the whole day cleaning up the garbage. As time went by, more and more villagers joined in. The River Jade gradually regained its former cleanliness and the fish came back. Alex and Ben's efforts had made a huge difference to their hometown. 【解析】 【导语】本文以环保为主题，围绕小镇中一条河流的污染与治理展开，讲述了两位好友Alex和Ben为拯救河流所做出的努力。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句“Alex和Ben很快回家开始计划”可知，第一段可描写他们为治理河流污染所做的计划，如制作海报等。 由第二段首句“第二天，他们在村子里面和周围张贴海报”可知，第二段可描写张贴海报后的情况，如村民们的反应以及最终取得的成果。 续写线索：回家计划——制作海报——张贴海报——村民反应——村民参与——河流恢复 词汇激活 行为类 ①计划：plan/scheme 张贴：put up/stick 参与：join in/participate in 情绪类 担心：be worried/be concerned ②感兴趣：show interest/be keen on 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Whether you’re looking for something deep and thought-provoking or light for the whole family, there are many incredible films on Netflix. The Matrix (1999) IMDb (Internet Movie Database): 8.7/10 | Runtime: 136 minutes The Matrix is a science fiction film that stars Keanu Reeves as a hacker who discovers the world he lives in is an illusion crafted by malevolent Artificial Intelligence. The movie presents the very best in technical filmmaking, winning four Oscars. With thrilling action and a complex story, it’s a must-see. American Symphony (2023) IMDb: 7.9/10 | Runtime: 104 minutes Even if you just watch the trailer for American Symphony, you will be in tears. The documentary (纪录片) tells the story of Grammy winner Jon Batiste and his wife, Suleika Jaouad. It’s a beautiful tale of love and resilience, with Variety Magazine calling it “one of the best love stories seen on film.” Nyad (2023) IMDb: 7.1/10 | Runtime: 121 minutes As expected from most sports dramas and biopics, Nyad shares a story of perseverance, the triumphs of determination, and a message of hope. It engages the audience with its solid foundation while entertaining through grounded drama based on reality instead of relying on cheap cliches (陈词滥调). Society of the Snow (2023) IMDb: 7.7/10 | Runtime: 144 minutes In 1972, a Uruguayan flight crashed on the way to Chile, and the survivors of the wreck had to work together to survive in the of the Snow. With a budget of 60 million euros, the film is the most expensive Spanish film ever made. 1. For those who value online scoring, which film would be their top choice? A. The Matrix. B. American Symphony. C. Nyad. D. Society of the Snow. 2. What do the last three films have in common? A. They are high-budget films. B. They are based on true stories. C. They have the duration within two hours. D. They have been successful at the box office. 3. Who is the text intended for? A. Film critics. B. Film makers. C. Movie-goers. D. Cinema staff. B I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate (模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans. I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there’s no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans. Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul (白头鹎). The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it’s relatively easy to socialize. But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released. When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful. 4. What do we know about the author’s job? A. It was his initial career choice. B. It forbids close interaction with animals. C. It mainly aims to cure the injured animals. D. It involves both rescue and release efforts. 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to release the rescued animals? A. Ambitious. B. Cheerful. C. Sorrowful. D. Anxious. 6. Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3? A. Was attached to. B. Was aware of. C. Was sensitive to. D. Was cautious of. 7. What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work? A. Animals’ faith in humans. B. Human’s knowledge in the work. C. Human’s attitude towards animals. D. Animals’ ability to survive in the wild. C Rena, 18 months, is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home, hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit. The infants’ (婴儿) presences meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older, especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65. The nursing home’s director, Kimie Gondo, came up with the idea of baby workers three years ago when her own newborn granddaughter was visiting and she saw how happy it made the residents. The nursing home now has about 70 baby workers strolling around the nursing home with their parents, mostly mothers. Rena and her colleagues are paid in diapers (纸尿裤) and ice cream. But those are not the only rewards. “Here she gets to interact with kids her age and also with grandfathers and grandmothers who are a bit more difficult to come across,” said Shinohara, Rena’s mother,who called the nursing home residents “great life teachers”. Rena and her small colleagues work flexible hours but they don't have long in the business-having to retire before the age of three. A key requirement for the toddlers is that they should speak as little as possible. That’s because older people can struggle to speak and communicate, especially if they have cognitive impairment (认知障碍),” In order to communicate on the same level,words are unnecessary,” she added. For nursing home residents, Gondo said, the visits from toddlers provide the common experience of family members from multiple generations living under the same roof. “Even if they enter a facility like this, they should be able to interact with people from various age groups on a daily basis,” she said. “I think that’s only natural.” 8. Why does Kimie Gondo carry out her idea in the nursing home? A. To provide jobs for mothers. B. To prevent the elderly from ageing. C. To amuse grandchildren during visits. D. To promote the well-being of residents. 9. What’s the extra benefit for the baby workers according to Shinohara? A. Tasty snacks. B. Parent-kid relationship. C. Daily essentials. D. Interpersonal experience. 10. Why is there a restriction on retiring age of baby workers? A. Words might lessen the effect. B. Flexible hours could be guaranteed. C. Cognitive Impairment could be avoided. D. Over-aged workers have low language levels. 11. Which can be the best title of this passage? A. Babies helping remove cognitive barriers B. Babies replacing caregivers in nursing homes C. Baby workers tackling loneliness of the elderly D. Baby workers running a Japanese nursing home D Children exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver’s motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact. Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child’s words, sentences, and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared. Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children’s media use. These factors were then compared to the children’s vocabulary and length using two or more words together. The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children’s vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members. Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching, and whether they can interact with them during this period. Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development. 12 What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children? A. It enhances their vocabulary development. B. It has no significant effect on their language skills. C. It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences. D. It encourages them to read print books more often. 13. What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the study? A. Its research process. B. Its theoretical basis. C. Its underlying logic. D. Its scientific evidence. 14. Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened? A. When children focus on tasks. B. When children get involved in the content. C. When videos serve as entertainment. D. When videos aid learning and bond building. 15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To point out the significance of the study. B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies. C. To present the practical application of the findings. D. To discuss other affecting factors of babies’ growth. 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。 When it comes to wardrobe (衣柜) organization, many of us operate on an out of sight, out of mind basis.

After school,they would catch fish or swim in it,adding color and fun to their life. When they were in middle school,however,they started to lose the eagerness to play in the river. The once crystal-clear water was now dirty and smelly with garbage such as bottles and plastic bags floating on its surface, and the fish that once swam lively here seemed to be gone.They really got upset about it. Nothing changed until one day Alex attended a lecture on protecting the earth from being polluted in the school. He was shocked to see the terrible pollution caused by human's activities and got to appreciate the importance of protecting the earth. After the lecture,Alex walked home with a heavy heart, concerned about the huge amount of annoying rubbish in the river.Suddenly an idea flashed across his mind. He rushed to Ben's home and couldn't wait to share it with Ben. Later,they went to the riverbank together. “Our river is sick,” said Alex in a worried tone, “We need to find a way to heal it.” “Yes”said Ben in agreement. “It's our responsibility to protect the hometown river. What can we do?” Alex suggested eagerly, “We should clean up the garbage from the riverbanks at weekends.” Ben nodded thoughtfully and said, “That is a good idea. But it is impossible for only two of us to remove so much garbage. Besides, the villagers may throw garbage into the river again and again.” “You're right! Maybe we need more helpers and also need to educate more people about the importance of keeping our river clean and encourage them to make a change.” Finally,they both decided that something must be done before it was too late. Quickly Alex and Ben went home and began planning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, they put up the posters in and around the village. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
