The pandas will be greatly missed by the zoo and its visitors. Black and white giant pandas are special and unusual. In the wild, pandas are only found in China. For many years, China has “lent” pandas to other countries as away of making positive connections with them. In 1972, US President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat visited China. Mrs. Nixon said that she loved pandas, and China’s leader promised to send her some. Later, the pandas appeared at the National Zoo and became one of he big reasons that people visited the zoo. The zoo worked hard to help raise more pandas but the National Zoo didn’t own the pandas. It had a special agreement with China which allowed them to keep the pandas for a certain amount of time. Now, all three pandas are on their way to China. The trip to China will take about 9 hours. When the pandas arrive in China, they will be taken to a protected area in the mountains of Sichuan Province. 152 other pandas already living there. It’s not clear if China will “lend” more pandas to the National Zoo again but the zoo is still working to improve its panda area, so that it will be ready if that happens. 1. China is the only place where pandas can be found. 2. The National Zoo can keep pandas for about 50 years according to the agreement. 3. There will be 155 pandas living in the protected area of Sichuan province in two days. 4. Pandas will never appear at the National Zoo in the future. 5. The passage is probably a news report. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A 4. B 5. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了大熊猫离开美国国家动物园回到中国的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ In the wild, pandas are only found in China.”可知，文章讲述了在野外，大熊猫只在中国发现，并不是说中国是唯一能找到熊猫的地方。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In 1972, US President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat visited China”可知，熊猫于1972年出现在美国国家动物园。根据“Pandas Leave US National Zoo After Decades NOVEMBER 9, 2023”可知，2023年11月9日，大熊猫离开美国国家动物园，这其中有大约50年了。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Now, all three pandas are on their way to China. The trip to China will take about 9 hours. When the pandas arrive in China, they will be taken to a protected area in the mountains of Sichuan Province. 152 other pandas already living there.”可知，这三只熊猫正在返回中国，当大熊猫抵达中国时，它们将被带到四川省山区的一个保护区。那里已有152只熊猫生活在那里。所有两天内将有155只大熊猫生活在四川省的保护区内。故选A。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It’s not clear if China will ‘lend’ more pandas to the National Zoo again but the zoo is still working to improve its panda area, so that it will be ready if that happens.”可知，中国是否会再次向国家动物园“借出”更多熊猫，这一点还不清楚，所以表述过于绝对，故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章开头格式，短文可能是一篇新闻报道。故选A。 第二节：阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 B When Holly looks out of the window in the morning, the world is white: the roofs of the houses are white; the trees are white; the grass is white. But she sees something else, too. She pulls on her clothes, runs downstairs, and opens the door. The bright snow dazzles her eyes and the cold air makes her hands turned. But there, in the snow, she clearly sees little shapes going from the food bowl to the end of the garden. These aren’t human foot prints. They are paw (爪子) prints! Holly follows them across the garden, with the snow under her feet. They go under the old tree to the garage (车库). The garage door isn’t completely closed. The paw prints stop at the entrance. An animal is in there. A fox? A cat? A lovely pig? Or even... “Oh please, please,” she says softly. Holly pushes up the door and steps inside. It’s very quiet in the garage. Her parents’ car is in the middle, and along the walls are shelves filled with all the old things that don’t fit in the house: her dad’s tools, Holly’s old toys, boxes, bags—all the things they don’t want but don’t want to throw away. In the corner, under some card board boxes, and lying on an old blanket, she sees a dark shape. It opens an eye. It opens another eye. Its tail starts to shake. Yes, it’s Eco! Lost Eco! Before Holy goes to school, there’s a meeting in the kitchen. Her mother, father, sister and dog are all there. The decision is: Holly can keep Eco, but she must take him to a dog training school. 6. What may the underlined phrase “something else” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The paw prints. B. Holly’s clothes. C. The things in the garage. D. The food bowl. 7. What is missing in the passage? A. A fox. B. A cat. C. A dog. D. A pig. 8. How does Holly find Eco? A. With the help of old toys. B. With her family’s help. C. By looking out of the window. D. By following the paw prints. 9. Why does Holly say “please” softly in Paragraph 3? A. She is afraid of that animal. B. She isn’t sure if that’s an animal. C. She doesn’t want to speak louder. D. She really wishes that’s her lost Eco. 10. What will Eco probably do next? A. Receive some training. B. Go back to the garage. C. Meet Holly in the kitchen. D. Practice shaking its tail. 【答案】6. A 7. C 8. D 9. A 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述Holly找到小动物Eco的经历。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“But there, in the snow, she clearly sees little shapes going from the food bowl to the end of the garden. These aren’t human foot prints. They are paw (爪子) prints!”可知Holly看到的别的东西是爪子印，故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Yes, it’s Eco! Lost Eco! ... The decision is: Holly can keep Eco, but she must take him to a dog training school.”可知文中丢了一只狗，故选C。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They are paw (爪子) prints! Holly follows them across the garden, with the snow under her feet. They go under the old tree to the garage (车库).”可知Holly通过跟随爪印找到的Eco，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据“A fox? A cat? A lovely pig? Or even... ‘Oh please, please,’ she says softly.”可知Holly轻声说“请”，是因为她不知道里面是什么动物，是对于未知的恐惧，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The decision is: Holly can keep Eco, but she must take him to a dog training school.”可推知Eco接下来可能会接受一些培训，故选A。 C A report from the United Nations says that about 54 percent of the human population live in cities, for more job opportunities, more cultural activities, larger communities. Yet, living in a crowded, green-poor environment takes something away from us—our basic need to be close to nature. In a book coming out this month, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the world’s expert in forest medicine, introduces readers to the practice of forest bathing—and the art and science of how trees can benefit our life. Forest bathing is the practice of spending long periods of time with trees to get their health benefits. It makes people less worried and angry. Essential tree oils (植物精油) increase energy levels by more than 30 percent. There is improvement in sleep and spirits. The health and emotional (情感的) benefits are many. Forest bathing doesn’t require huge areas to be useful. Walks in parks, green communities, gardens all offer a degree of benefits. Anyone can find a way to be close to nature. As Alan Watts once wrote, “You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.” The idea of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t felt a sense of peace when walking in a forest, the sunlight coming through the leaves to create light and shadows (影子) on the ground? Stepping into a forest, or just into a small park meets our deepest needs. It’s hard not to feel something meaningful as we are close to trees. 11. What is the disadvantage of living in cities? A. More cultural activities. B. Being far from nature. C. Better job opportunities. D. Being close to communities. 12. What can we learn about forest anything from Paragraph 2? A. It leads to anger and pressure. B. Dr. Qing Li invented this idea. C. It makes us healthy and happy. D. Many readers have practiced it. 13. Which of the following is a practice of forest bathing? A. Planting trees. B. Staying indoors. C. Swimming in lakes. D. Stepping into a park. 14. How can we understand the words of Alan Watts in Paragraph 3? A. Anyone can find a forest. B. Humans are part of nature. C. Walks in gardens benefit us. D. Huge areas in forests are useful. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Forest Bathing Is Helpful B. Nature Meets our Basic Need C. Growing Trees Benefits Humans D. A Green Environment Offers Peace 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文作者旨在呼吁人们亲身走进自然，并介绍了森林浴这种与自然亲密接触的新方式。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Yet, living in a crowded, green-poor environment takes something away from us—our basic need to be close to nature.”可知，生活在城市中会剥夺我们接近自然的基本需求。故选B。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Forest bathing is the practice of spending long periods of time with trees to get their health benefits. It makes people less worried and angry.”可知，森林浴是一种长时间与树木在一起以获得其健康益处的做法。它使人们不那么担心和愤怒。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Stepping into a forest, or just into a small park meets our deepest needs.”可知，走进一片森林，或者只是走进一个小公园是森林浴的一种做法。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As Alan Watts once wrote, ‘You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.’”可知，正如Alan Watts曾经写过的那样，“你不是来到这个世界的。你是从这个世界出来的，就像大海的波浪。你在这里不是陌生人。”由此可知，他想表达：人类是自然的一部分。故选B。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕“森林浴”对人的益处而展开，“森林浴是有益的”为最佳标题。故选A。 D When we are on a bus, shop with our friends, or eat in a restaurant, we can take a moment to look around us. Can we see the thing almost everyone is using? We use that small supercomputer in our pocket for almost everything. It is our shopping list, our alarm clock, our news, our music and more. For most people, it is often the first thing they see when they wake up in the morning and the last thing they see before they fall asleep at night. And we say to ourselves this supercomputer really isn’t such a bad thing, and everyone is doing it! But this is far from the truth. Except our work, it is probably the greatest single cause of stress (压力) in our lives. WeChat, QQ, and Blog are beginning to do harm to our health. Our love for it makes it hard for us to focus. This supercomputer also damages our social lives. In fact, just having it in view on the table in front of us influences the talk we are having with someone. It doesn’t even need to be “doing” anything. When it becomes active, we almost pay no attention to the people around us. It is not all that bad, however. It is very easy to protect ourselves from its bad effects. We can turn off the sounds. We will still have all the information we need, but then at a time of our own choosing, not when someone decides to get in touch with us. Tell our friends that they can use it to phone us if something important happens. Answering any other kind of message from it may take a little more time. Leave those apps on it that take up to much of our time. Don’t worry, we’re allowed to. Always remember, we are the ones who decide how to live our lie, not this super computer. 16. What do the underlined words “that small supercomputer” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. An MP3. B. A watch. C. A notebook. D. A smart phone. 17. Why does the writer talk about “WeChat, QQ, and Bog” in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce more ways to relax. B. To give advice on how to focus. C. To show the supercomputer’s bad influence. D. To prove the supercomputer is not a bad thing. 18. What do we know about the supercomputer from Paragraph 3? A. It hurts our relationships. B. It stops our talk with others. C. It becomes active all the time. D. It helps connect with others. 19. What should our friends do if something important happens? A. Offer us apps. B. Leave us a message. C. Give us a call. D. Send us information. 20. What can we learn about the last two sentences? A. Time allows us to do anything. B. We should choose our way of life. C. We can decide what our friends do. D. Supercomputers improve how we live. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了我们对手机的依赖及其带来的压力和社交影响，并提出了一些减少负面影响的方法。 【16题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It is our shopping list, our alarm clock, our news, our music and more.”可知，它是我们的购物清单，我们的闹钟，我们的新闻，我们的音乐等等。结合选项推知，“that small supercomputer”指的是“智能手机”。故选D。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But this is far from the truth. ...WeChat, QQ, and Blog are beginning to do harm to our health. Our love for it makes it hard for us to focus.”可知，微信、QQ和博客开始对我们健康造成危害。我们对它的热爱让我们很难集中注意力。由此推知作者提到“微信、QQ和博客”是为了展示手机的不良影响。故选C。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When it becomes active, we almost pay no attention to the people around us”可知，有了手机，我们几乎没有注意到我们周围的人。由此推知手机它伤害我们与周围人的关系。故选A。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Tell our friends that they can use it to phone us if something important happens.”可知，告诉我们的朋友，如果有重要的事情发生，他们可以用它给我们打电话。故选C。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Always remember, we are the ones who decide how to live our lie, not this super computer.”可知，我们是决定如何生活的人，而不是超级计算机。由此推知我们应该选择自己的生活方式。故选B。 第三节：完形填空(共15小题，每小题1. 5分，满分22. 5分) A Amanda works very hard She works very long hours day in and day out.

In my opinion, you should tell him immediately. If you tell him the truth, perhaps he’ll be angry with you, but at least you’ll prove you are honest. Then, I think you should offer to pay. You can use your pocket money to buy a new pen for him. Finally, you can invite him for dinner if necessary. This way he will realize that you are truly sorry. I hope my advice will be helpful. I’m sure you’ll make up with him soon.

The pandas will be greatly missed by the zoo and its visitors. Black and white giant pandas are special and unusual. In the wild, pandas are only found in China. For many years, China has “lent” pandas to other countries as away of making positive connections with them. In 1972, US President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat visited China. Mrs. Nixon said that she loved pandas, and China’s leader promised to send her some. Later, the pandas appeared at the National Zoo and became one of he big reasons that people visited the zoo. The zoo worked hard to help raise more pandas but the National Zoo didn’t own the pandas. It had a special agreement with China which allowed them to keep the pandas for a certain amount of time. Now, all three pandas are on their way to China. The trip to China will take about 9 hours. When the pandas arrive in China, they will be taken to a protected area in the mountains of Sichuan Province. 152 other pandas already living there.

China is the only place where pandas can be found. 2. The National Zoo can keep pandas for about 50 years according to the agreement. 3. There will be 155 pandas living in the protected area of Sichuan province in two days. 4. Pandas will never appear at the National Zoo in the future. 5. The passage is probably a news report. 第二节：阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 B When Holly looks out of the window in the morning, the world is white: the roofs of the houses are white; the trees are white; the grass is white. But she sees something else, too. She pulls on her clothes, runs downstairs, and opens the door. The bright snow dazzles her eyes and the cold air makes her hands turned. But there, in the snow, she clearly sees little shapes going from the food bowl to the end of the garden. These aren’t human foot prints. They are paw (爪子) prints! Holly follows them across the garden, with the snow under her feet. They go under the old tree to the garage (车库). The garage door isn’t completely closed. The paw prints stop at the entrance. An animal is in there. A fox? A cat? A lovely pig? Or even... “Oh please, please,” she says softly. Holly pushes up the door and steps inside It’s very quiet in the garage. Her parents’ car is in the middle, and along the walls are shelves filled with all the old things that don’t fit in the house: her dad’s tools, Holly’s old toys, boxes, bags—all the things they don’t want but don’t want to throw away. In the corner, under some card board boxes, and lying on an old blanket, she sees a dark shape. It opens an eye It opens another eye. Its tail starts to shake. Yes, it’s Eco! Lost Eco!

C A report from the United Nations says that about 54 percent of the human population live in cities, for more job opportunities, more cultural activities, larger communities. Yet, living in a crowded, green-poor environment takes something away from us—our basic need to be close to nature. In a book coming out this month, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the world’s expert in forest medicine, introduces readers to the practice of forest bathing—and the art and science of how trees can benefit our life. Forest bathing is the practice of spending long periods of time with trees to get their health benefits. It makes people less worried and angry. Essential tree oils (植物精油) increase energy levels by more than 30 percent. There is improvement in sleep and spirits. The health and emotional (情感的) benefits are many. Forest bathing doesn’t require huge areas to be useful. Walks in parks, green communities, gardens all offer a degree of benefits. Anyone can find a way to be close to nature. As Alan Watts once wrote, “You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.” The idea of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t felt a sense of peace when walking in a forest the sunlight coming through the leaves to create light and shadows (影子) on the ground? Stepping into a forest, or just into a small park meets our deepest needs. It’s hard not to feel something meaningful as we are close to trees. 11. What is the disadvantage of living in cities? A. More cultural activities. B. Being far from nature. C. Better job opportunities. D. Being close to communities. 12. What can we learn about forest anything from Paragraph 2? A. It leads to anger and pressure. B. Dr. Qing Li invented this idea. C. It makes us healthy and happy. D. Many readers have practiced it. 13. Which of the following is a practice of forest bathing? A. Planting trees. B. Staying indoors. C. Swimming in lakes. D. Stepping into a park. 14. How can we understand the words of Alan Watts in Paragraph 3? A. Anyone can find a forest. B. Humans are part of nature. C. Walks in gardens benefit us. D. Huge areas in forests are useful. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Forest Bathing Is Helpful B. Nature Meets our Basic Need C. Growing Trees Benefits Humans D. A Green Environment Offers Peace D When we are on a bus, shop with our friends, or eat in a restaurant, we can take a moment to look around us. Can we see the thing almost everyone is using? We use that small supercomputer in our pocket for almost everything. It is our shopping list, our alarm clock, our news, our music and more. For most people, it is often the first thing they see when they wake up in the morning and the last thing they see before they fall asleep at night. And we say to ourselves this supercomputer really isn’t such a bad thing, and everyone is doing it! But this is far from the truth. Except our work, it is probably the greatest single cause of stress (压力) in our lives. WeChat, QQ, and Blog are beginning to do harm to our health. Our love for it makes it hard for us to focus. This supercomputer also damages our social lives. In fact, just having it in view on the table in front of us influences the talk we are having with someone. It doesn’t even need to be “doing” anything. When it becomes active, we almost pay no attention to the people around us. It is not all that bad, however. It is very easy to protect ourselves from its bad effects. We can turn off the sounds. We will still have all the information we need, but then at a time of our own choosing, not when someone decides to get in touch with us. Tell our friends that they can use it to phone us if something important happens. Answering any other kind of message from it may take a little more time. Leave those apps on it that take up to much of our time. Don’t worry, we’re allowed to. Always remember, we are the ones who decide how to live our lie, not this super computer. 16. What do the underlined words “that small supercomputer” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. An MP3. B. A watch. C. A notebook. D. A smart phone. 17. Why does the writer talk about “WeChat, QQ, and Bog” in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce more ways to relax. B. To give advice on how to focus. C. To show the supercomputer’s bad influence. D. To prove the supercomputer is not a bad thing. 18. What do we know about the supercomputer from Paragraph 3? A. It hurts our relationships. B. It stops our talk with others. C. It becomes active all the time. D. It helps connect with others. 19. What should our friends do if something important happens? A. Offer us apps. B. Leave us a message. C. Give us a call. D. Send us information. 20. What can we learn about the last two sentences? A. Time allows us to do anything. B. We should choose our way of life. C. We can decide what our friends do. D. Supercomputers improve how we live. 第三节：完形填空(共15小题，每小题1. 5分，满分22. 5分) A Amanda works very hard She works very long hours day in and day out.

However, people will be used to their new relationship or wealth, return to a basic level of happiness, and look for the next goal. There are also many people who think they must be happier if they can earn more money. However, research shows that a person who can make money of$150, 000a year will not necessarily be as happy as a person making less money Happy people show certain signs. They always find joy in the simple pleasures of life—petting a dog, siting under a tee, and enjoying a cup of tea. Besides, happy people often have good relationships with others, because they are often grateful to and happy for other people. A happy person is also ready to learn new skill and open to new things.
