Over time we got to know each other and got to be good friends. As I recall, he took the first step in inviting my son and me to a full night of country concerts, free of charge. Since then, we have become each other’s best friends. He could be described in many ways, but the following, is definitely at the top: “Kindness is making someone smile if only for a moment.” This is him. And... He does it every single day, without fail. To be completely honest, I could go on talking about him endlessly. However, since I don’t want this story to be too long, I’m going to finish up here with one last thing. Back in October 2023, I was going through an exceptionally tough time. He helped me to have an incredibly difficult, deeply personal, embarrassing conversation with my parents; truly, without doubt, the most difficult conversation I’ve ever had to have with them. The following are copies of texts he sent me during that time. “Try calling your parents and having this talk with them. All will work out and I will help you as well by telling you no or think about it first. I love you. You are my best friend.” “Hey, bro. It’s embarrassing but at least that can start to heal and everyone moves forward.” “Getting you on track. You can do this and I will walk with you.” I truly don’t know where I’d be without his kindness and friendship. 4. Where did the author and his best friend first meet? A. At his son’s school. B.

Everything will solve itself without action.” 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7.

These cities were unlike modern cities, but still organized places meant for many people to live together peacefully. So, what was life like in the earliest cities created by humankind? Using modern technology, scientific explorers have discovered some answers. The Indus Valley civilization existed from about 3300 — 1700 BCE, roughly 5,320 to 3,720years ago. Also known as the Harappan civilization, the Indus Valley civilization was one of the world’s earliest urban civilizations. At the same time, the civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China were also prosperous. The Harappan civilization was located in South Asia, in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. Although the Harappans had a written language, scholars today cannot decipher the text. As a result, most of what is known about Harappans comes from the ruins of their two largest cities: Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Both cities cover less than 2.6 square kilometers, or one square mile. This is much smaller than modern cities. For example, in the United States, Central Park in New York City alone has an area of 1.3 square miles. The cities had an estimated population of around40,000 each. The cities were located about 644 kilometers, or 400 miles, from one another and were similar in layout. Scholars believe the Harappans used the position of the rising sun and moon to determine their cities’ geography. One significant feature of Harappan cities was their highly developed systems for supplying water and removing waste. In Mohenjo-daro, about 700 wells supplied water to the city’s buildings. Explorers continue to investigate the Harappan civilization. Since 1986, they have made many important discoveries. Artifacts (手工艺品) are displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi, India, and in museums throughout the world. 8. What can we learn about the Harappan civilization from paragraph 2? A. It dates from thousands of years ago. B. It belongs to the Indus Valley civilization. C. It was the only urban civilization then. D. It was located in what is now China. 9. What does the underlined word “decipher” mean in paragraph 3? A. Select. B. Understand. C. Draft. D. Recite. 10. What is a notable feature of Harappan cities mentioned in the text? A. Modern designs and tall buildings. B. Large parks and entertainment areas. C. Advanced water and waste systems. D. Huge areas and large populations. 11. Where can the text be found? A. In a novel. B. In an art magazine. C. In a biography. D. In a history journal. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了印度河流域文明也被称为哈拉帕文明，是世界上最早的城市文明之一。文章重点介绍了哈拉帕文明的相关内容。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Indus Valley civilization existed from about 3300—1700 BCE, roughly 5,320 to 3,720years ago. Also known as the Harappan civilization, the Indus Valley civilization was one of the world’s earliest urban civilizations.”（印度河流域文明存在于公元前3300-1700年，大约5320 - 3720年前。印度河流域文明也被称为哈拉帕文明，是世界上最早的城市文明之一。）可知，从第二段我们可以了解到哈拉帕文明可以追溯到几千年前。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“Although the Harappans had a written language”（虽然哈拉帕人有书面语言）以及第三段中“As a result, most of what is known about Harappans comes from the ruins of their two largest cities: Harappa and Mohenjo-daro.”（因此，人们对哈拉帕人的大部分了解都来自他们两个最大城市的废墟：哈拉帕和摩亨佐-达罗。）由此可知，此处为今天的学者不能解读文本，故可猜测划线单词decipher为“解读”的意思，结合选项B项Understand“理解”意思相近。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“One significant feature of Harappan cities was their highly developed systems for supplying water and removing waste.”（哈拉帕城市的一个显著特征是其高度发达的供水和垃圾处理系统。）可知，文中提到的哈拉帕城市的一个显著特征是先进的供水和废物处理系统。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Humans have lived in cities for around 5,000 years. These cities were unlike modern cities, but still organized places meant for many people to live together peacefully. So, what was life like in the earliest cities created by humankind? Using modern technology, scientific explorers have discovered some answers.”（人类在城市中生活了大约5000年。这些城市不像现代城市，但仍然是有组织的地方，意味着许多人和平地生活在一起。那么，人类最早创造的城市里的生活是什么样的呢？利用现代技术，科学探索者已经发现了一些答案。）和最后一段“Explorers continue to investigate the Harappan civilization. Since 1986, they have made many important discoveries. Artifacts (手工艺品) are displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi, India, and in museums throughout the world.”（探险家们继续调查哈拉帕文明。自1986年以来，他们有了许多重要的发现。文物在印度新德里的国家博物馆和世界各地的博物馆展出。）可知，文章主要讲的是印度河流域文明也被称为哈拉帕文明，是世界上最早的城市文明之一。文章重点介绍了哈拉帕文明，由此可知，文章属于历史方面的内容，故这篇文章可能出现在历史杂志上。故选D项。 D Many people struggle to maintain their focus while reading. If you’re a student, this problem can get in the way of completing coursework and understanding course material. What can you do to help yourself focus while reading, so you can stay on track academically? A new way of reading, might offer an answer to this question. It’s called bionic reading, and it was created by the Swiss typographic designer Renato Casutt. Bionic reading works by strategically bolding parts of words to make text easier to process. Here’s an example of what that looks like: Reading As before Bionic Reading is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. Reading mode Bionic Reading (variation) Bionic Reading is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. According to Renato Casutt’s website, bionic reading uses a special algorithm (算法) to work its magic. The algorithm identifies and bolds the “most important parts of words” to help guide your eyes over the text more quickly. Casutt calls these bolded parts of words “fixations.” He claims that by letting your eyes jump from one fixation to the next (and letting your brain fill in the rest of each word), you can read faster than you would normally. On his website, Casutt says he has gotten feedback from dyslexia users who have reading disorder. They have understood texts more quickly with bionic reading. Millions of people have also been reacting to bionic reading on social media, and many people with dyslexia have said bionic reading helps them focus. In truth, more research is needed before we can guarantee that bionic reading will help anyone read texts more quickly or effectively. If you’d like to try it out for yourself and see if bionic reading helps you focus, you can access the bionic reading software online for free. 12. What is the main purpose of bionic reading? A. To create a new form of expression. B. To make text more visually attractive. C. To help people to read more efficiently. D. To provide an enjoyable reading experience. 13. How does bionic reading work? A. By changing the size of letters. B. By highlighting all the letters. C. By bolding the key letters. D. By underlining important letters. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards bionic reading? A. Positive but cautious. B. Excited and supportive. C. Critical and doubtful. D. Objective but uninterested. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Future of Reading Technologies B. Bionic Reading: A New Way to Focus C. Traditional Reading VS. Bionic Reading D. How to Improve Your Reading Speed? 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种新的阅读方式——仿生阅读，可以帮助人们在阅读时集中注意力，从而更有效地阅读。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many people struggle to maintain their focus while reading.

Since my parents were very busy at that time, my Aunt Julia often took care of me during their absence. One rainy day, when Julia and I were heading toward home, I caught sight of an old lady wearing an orange jacket with a huge bag and a walking stick. Out of curiosity, I asked Julia, “Who is she? What is she doing with that huge bag?” Julia caught a glimpse at her, then told me, “She is called Melinda. She has been collecting garbage with that huge garbage bag in the town for several years. Nobody knows why she’s been doing it. Maybe just for fun.” Hearing her words, I couldn’t help exclaiming, “Wow! It’s so strange! Why does she find it funny to collect garbage?” Since that day, I had come across her for many times on my way home. She always carried the huge garbage bag whether it was rainy or sunny. Gradually, I didn’t find her strange for collecting garbage. Instead, I began to greet her with a smile. Two years later, I was admitted to Chicago University. To my disappointment, I often saw trash on the lawn on campus. “Why should people litter everywhere? Who is responsible for the trash?” A few days later, it occurred to me that, since nobody took responsibility for it, why not collect trash myself? That way, I could walk past the lawn without feeling guilty. Then, I took action. I always took a trash bag and collect trash on the lawn every time I walked past it. A few students also followed suit soon afterwards, keeping the school cleaner and prettier than before. One day, an idea popped into my head when I finished collecting trash — maybe we could help make the city cleaner and prettier too! Despite the thought that collecting trash in front of so many people outside school was awkward, I knew it was the right thing to do. So I decided to give it a go. 注意：1. 续写词数共150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: One day, I was collecting garbage outside the school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then I realized that I should encourage more students to take part. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, I was collecting garbage outside the school. Some people gave me a strange look, as if l were mad. All of a sudden, I thought of the old woman who used to collect garbage many years ago. It occurred to me that I was acting just like her. As strange as that may seem, collecting garbage was meaningful for me. Little by little, a lot of people, came to realize that I was doing voluntary service to keep the town clean, and I was complimented and thanked. Then I realized that I should encourage more students to take part. Surprisingly, they agreed and we founded a voluntary group. We gave each student a bright orange jacket with the message “Let’s Keep Our Town Cleaner!” We spent the time not just collecting trash, but also sorting it out and recycling it. The most wonderful thing was that all the people who were close to us were also doing their part! I said to myself, “This is what the old woman did for me. She has changed my life greatly.“” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者在年轻时受老妇人的影响开始收集垃圾，后来在大学时继续这种行为，并得到其他同学的支持，最终建立了一个志愿者团体，致力于保持城镇的清洁，并鼓励更多人参与。文章传达了一个关于环保和社会责任的正能量故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，我在学校外面捡垃圾。”可知，第一段可描写作者在学校外面捡垃圾的过程以及作者的感受。。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我意识到我应该鼓励更多的学生参加。”可知，第二段可描写作者成立了一个志愿者小组鼓励更多的人进来参与收集垃圾。。 2.续写线索：在学校外面捡垃圾——想起了多年前收集垃圾的老妇人——认识到行为的意义——鼓励更多的学生参加收集垃圾——成立了一个志愿者小组——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想到：thought of sth/sth came into one’s mind ②成立，建立：founded/set up ③感谢：thanked/appreciated 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的是：Surprisingly/Amazingly/ To one's surprise ②美妙的：wonderful/fantastic 【点睛】【高分句型1】All of a sudden, I thought of the old woman who used to collect garbage many years ago.(运用了关系代词who引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】Little by little, a lot of people, came to realize that I was doing voluntary service to keep the town clean, and I was complimented and thanked.

B He and I met a few years back at a local Starbucks where I’ve been a regular customer for many years. Over time we got to know each other and got to be good friends. As I recall, he took the first step in inviting my son and me to a full night of country concerts, free of charge. Since then, we have become each other’s best friends. He could be described in many ways, but the following, is definitely at the top: “Kindness is making someone smile if only for a moment.” This is him. And... He does it every single day, without fail. To be completely honest, I could go on talking about him endlessly. However, since I don’t want this story to be too long, I’m going to finish up here with one last thing. Back in October 2023, I was going through an exceptionally tough time. He helped me to have an incredibly difficult, deeply personal, embarrassing conversation with my parents; truly, without doubt, the most difficult conversation I’ve ever had to have with them. The following are copies of texts he sent me during that time. “Try calling your parents and having this talk with them. All will work out and I will help you as well by telling you no or think about it first. I love you. You are my best friend.” “Hey, bro. It’s embarrassing but at least that can start to heal and everyone moves forward.” “Getting you on track. You can do this and I will walk with you.” I truly don’t know where I’d be without his kindness and friendship. 4. Where did the author and his best friend first meet? A. At his son’s school. B. At a country concert. C. At a local Starbucks. D. On the Internet. 5. Which of the following can best describe the author’s best friend? A. He is known for his wealth and generosity. B.

By answering his parents’ texts for him. B. By calling and talking with his parents. C. By taking care of his son occasionally. D. By offering him valuable emotional support. 7. What might have been sent to the author by his friend? A. “Try ignoring your parents and avoiding the conversation.” B. “Time will heal and you will put joy on your parents’ face.” C. “It’s not embarrassing at all, and it doesn’t need to be healed.” D. “No need to worry. Everything will solve itself without action.” C Humans have lived in cities for around 5,000 years. These cities were unlike modern cities, but still organized places meant for many people to live together peacefully. So, what was life like in the earliest cities created by humankind? Using modern technology, scientific explorers have discovered some answers. The Indus Valley civilization existed from about 3300 — 1700 BCE, roughly 5,320 to 3,720years ago. Also known as the Harappan civilization, the Indus Valley civilization was one of the world’s earliest urban civilizations. At the same time, the civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China were also prosperous. The Harappan civilization was located in South Asia, in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. Although the Harappans had a written language, scholars today cannot decipher the text. As a result, most of what is known about Harappans comes from the ruins of their two largest cities: Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Both cities cover less than 2.6 square kilometers, or one square mile. This is much smaller than modern cities. For example, in the United States, Central Park in New York City alone has an area of 1.3 square miles. The cities had an estimated population of around40,000 each. The cities were located about 644 kilometers, or 400 miles, from one another and were similar in layout. Scholars believe the Harappans used the position of the rising sun and moon to determine their cities’ geography. One significant feature of Harappan cities was their highly developed systems for supplying water and removing waste. In Mohenjo-daro, about 700 wells supplied water to the city’s buildings. Explorers continue to investigate the Harappan civilization. Since 1986, they have made many important discoveries. Artifacts (手工艺品) are displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi, India, and in museums throughout the world. 8. What can we learn about the Harappan civilization from paragraph 2? A. It dates from thousands of years ago. B. It belongs to the Indus Valley civilization. C. It was the only urban civilization then. D. It was located in what is now China. 9. What does the underlined word “decipher” mean in paragraph 3? A. Select. B. Understand. C. Draft. D. Recite. 10. What is a notable feature of Harappan cities mentioned in the text? A. Modern designs and tall buildings. B. Large parks and entertainment areas. C. Advanced water and waste systems. D. Huge areas and large populations. 11. Where can the text be found? A. In a novel. B. In an art magazine. C. In a biography. D. In a history journal. D Many people struggle to maintain their focus while reading. If you’re a student, this problem can get in the way of completing coursework and understanding course material. What can you do to help yourself focus while reading, so you can stay on track academically? A new way of reading, might offer an answer to this question. It’s called bionic reading, and it was created by the Swiss typographic designer Renato Casutt. Bionic reading works by strategically bolding parts of words to make text easier to process. Here’s an example of what that looks like: Reading As before Bionic Reading is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. Reading mode Bionic Reading (variation) Bionic Reading is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. According to Renato Casutt’s website, bionic reading uses a special algorithm (算法) to work its magic. The algorithm identifies and bolds the “most important parts of words” to help guide your eyes over the text more quickly. Casutt calls these bolded parts of words “fixations.” He claims that by letting your eyes jump from one fixation to the next (and letting your brain fill in the rest of each word), you can read faster than you would normally. On his website, Casutt says he has gotten feedback from dyslexia users who have reading disorder. They have understood texts more quickly with bionic reading. Millions of people have also been reacting to bionic reading on social media, and many people with dyslexia have said bionic reading helps them focus.

Since my parents were very busy at that time, my Aunt Julia often took care of me during their absence. One rainy day when Julia and I were heading toward home, I caught sight of an old lady wearing an orange jacket with a huge bag and a walking stick. Out of curiosity, I asked Julia, “Who is she? What is she doing with that huge bag?” Julia caught a glimpse at her, then told me, “She is called Melinda. She has been collecting garbage with that huge garbage bag in the town for several years. Nobody knows why she’s been doing it. Maybe just for fun.” Hearing her words, I couldn’t help exclaiming, “Wow! It’s so strange! Why does she find it funny to collect garbage?” Since that day, I had come across her for many times on my way home. She always carried the huge garbage bag whether it was rainy or sunny. Gradually, I didn’t find her strange for collecting garbage. Instead, I began to greet her with a smile. Two years later, I was admitted to Chicago University. To my disappointment, I often saw trash on the lawn on campus. “Why should people litter everywhere? Who is responsible for the trash?” A few days later, it occurred to me that, since nobody took responsibility for it, why not collect trash myself? That way, I could walk past the lawn without feeling guilty. Then, I took action. I always took a trash bag and collect trash on the lawn every time I walked past it. A few students also followed suit soon afterwards, keeping the school cleaner and prettier than before. One day, an idea popped into my head when I finished collecting trash — maybe we could help make the city cleaner and prettier too! Despite the thought that collecting trash in front of so many people outside school was awkward, I knew it was the right thing to do. So I decided to give it a go. 注意：1. 续写词数共150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: One day, I was collecting garbage outside the school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then I realized that I should encourage more students to take part. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
