B Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.For instance,almost all animals have distinct vocals (that they rely on to either ask for help,scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter.But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills.They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it.If a pet cat is hungry,it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food.However,when a cat is looking for affection,they tend to produce stretched and soft meows.Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses,but their sense of smell is quite impressive.They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger.They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax.However,another way the cats are able to dis tinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells.Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future.That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats,which they don't usu- ally like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit,but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners.This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators(食肉s动物).Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you.These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time.So just go along with it! 24.What can be learned about cats'meowing from the first paragraph? A.It's a survival skill. B.It's taught by mother cats. C.It's hard to interpret. D.It's getting louder with age. 25.How does a pet cat assess different situations? A.By listening for sounds B.By touching familiar objects. C.By checking on smells. D.By communicating with other cats. 26.Which best explains the phrase "take...up a notch"in paragraph 3? A.Perform appropriately. B.Move faster. C.Act strangely. D.Do better. 2024·全国甲卷 第3页（共8页） 27.What is a suitable title for the text?

"People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,"says Emile Ducke, a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in No- vember through the vast regions (of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia. Russia's public health care service has been in serious need of modernization.The govern- ment has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem,particularly in the poorer. rural areas east of the Volga River,including arranging doctor's appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk. The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation.For 10 months every year,the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks,before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock ()Then it starts all over again the next month.Most stations wait about a year between visits. Doctors see up to 150 patients every day.The train's equipment allows for basic checkups.

D "I didn't like the ending,"I said to my favorite college professor.It was my junior year of undergraduate,and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature.I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot,and I was heartbroken with the ending.Prof. Gracie,with all his patience,asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not.He sug- 2024·全国甲卷第4页（共8页） gested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters,endings that satisfied the story even if they didn't have a tradi- tionally positive outcome.Of course,I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Mag- gie Tulliver,but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me,and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on,if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy,I'd pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn't guess,I'「d pick up a mystery(悬疑小说).One where I kind of knew what was going to happen,historical fiction.Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end-that's hard.It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers.You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable,but doesn't seem to come from nowhere,one that fits what's right for the characters. That's why this issue (of Writer's Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you're doing.If it's short stories,Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing.Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won't tell you what your ending should be-that's up to you and the story you're telling-but it might provide what you need to get there. 32.Why did the author go to Prof.Gracie? A.To discuss a novel. B.To submit a book report. C.To argue for a writer. D.To ask for a reading list. 33.What did the author realize after seeing Prof.Gracie? A.Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B.Readers are often carried away by characters. C.Each type of literature has its unique ending. D.A story which begins well will end well. 34.What is expected of a good ending? A.It satisfies readers'taste. B.It fits with the story development. C.It is usually positive. D.It is open for imagination. 35.Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A.To give examples of great novelists. B.To stress the theme of this issue. C.To encourage writing for the magazine. D.To recommend their new books. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 What is moderation ()Basically,it means eating only as much food as your body needs.You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal,but not too full.36. But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
