【解析】
【原文】W: Hello, everyone. I know most of you want to be singers, but I’m afraid to say, it’s all hard work. However, the rewards are beyond anything else, so it’s a fair deal. If you have got a good voice, then treasure it. Don’t be anxious if it does get hurt—it’s impressive how it’ll recover. The important thing is to use it. Get out the campus and take every chance you can to sing in public. This experience will also help to feed and build your ambition to go on, to be better. Singing on stage to an appreciative audience is as good as life gets. And for those who don’t like public performance, if you’ve got a good voice—then maybe you’ll be like my friend Diana. Although she got over most of her anxiety about performing in public a few years ago, she still prefers studio singing, performing directly for CDs and so on. Nobody really sees her outside her home and the studio. Even warming up her voice for a recording performance is something she does in private, making noises while sitting in her car outside the studio building. I think she’s alarmed a few passers-by in her time!
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four of the Most Beautiful Roads in the United States
Alaska Highway, Alaska
In the early days of World War II, fears of a potential attack on the Territory of Alaska stimulated military officials to create the Alaska Highway.
Eagle-eyed motorists may spot caribou, moose and grizzly bears along the road. Those keen on eyeing bald eagles should plan a stop near the Canadian border at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. Its wetlands serve as a pit stop for 180 species of migratory birds, including America’s national bird, on their springtime journey towards the ice fields and glaciers at the road’s northernmost reaches.
Highway 101, California
“The 101” is a drivable California postcard, taking motorists past the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The route offers a chance to not only see some of the best that California has to offer, but also smell and taste it when the road cuts through the heart of Sonoma’s wine country. Over 400 different wineries there produce varieties of wine.
Hana Highway, Hawaii
The Hana Highway dates to the 16th century, when Native Hawaiians first paved the road with lava blocks. Today, the route is one of Maui’s greatest tourist draws, with its 617 switchbacks hiding some of the island’s best attractions. The natural pools formed by waterfalls at Waikamoi Stream are a swimmer’s dream. Locals may be driving much faster. So if you see a local person driving behind you, you should pull over as soon as you can.
Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana
Millions of years ago, the area around Montana’s Glacier National Park was submerged under ice a mile deep. The most striking reminders of the region’s prehistoric origins are the 25 glaciers that give the park its name. The glaciers have been shrinking for decades, and more than 50 have disappeared entirely since the mid-1800s. Visitors may be flocking to Glacier to see these natural wonders before they vanish.
21. Which one below was built for military purpose?
A. Alaska Highway, Alaska. B. Highway 101, California.
C. Hana Highway, Hawaii. D. Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana.
22. What can you do along Highway 101?
A. Appreciate glaciers. B. See wild animals.
C. Swim in a natural pool. D. Taste various wine.
23. Why should you pay attention to the locals while driving down Hana Highway?
A. They are repaving the road. B. They block the road with lava stones.
C. They are driving very fast. D. They are not friendly to the tourists.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C
【解析】

【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Highway 101, California”下“The route offers a chance to not only see some of the best that California has to offer, but also smell and taste it when the road cuts through the heart of Sonoma’s wine country. Over 400 different wineries there produce varieties of wine.(这条路线提供了一个机会,不仅可以看到加州最好的一些东西,而且当这条路穿过索诺玛葡萄酒之乡的心脏时,还可以闻到和品尝它。这里有400多家不同的酿酒厂生产各种各样的葡萄酒)”可知,沿加州101号公路(Highway 101)你可以品尝各种葡萄酒。故选D项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Hana Highway, Hawaii”下的“Locals may be driving much faster. So if you see a local person driving behind you, you should pull over as soon as you can.(当地人可能开得快得多。所以如果你看到一个当地人在你后面开车,你应该尽快靠边停车)”可知,当地人开车开得很快,所以在Hana高速公路上开车时要注意当地人。故选C项。

As an active duty Marine and marathon runner, 27-year-old Wesley Swainston runs regularly and always has a dog by his side. However, the dogs are usually not his.
Wesley lovingly calls these dogs “shelter gems” — pups that are amazing but not adopted because they have not spent enough time with people and are stressed out in the shelter. His goal is to find them forever homes by spending time with them and documenting their journey.
Wesley visits nearby shelters after work every week. It all started when he noticed that many shelter dogs lack socialization and interaction with humans. As a result, when they encounter visitors, they often bark and become frantic in their cages. “They haven’t seen a lot of life,” he says. “So they’re going to be pretty fearful of people and things like cars or leaves blowing on the ground.”
Wesley discovered that taking them out for runs and exposing them to the outside world can have a transformative effect. “It was a night and day difference,” he says. “It gives them a chance to get away from the shelter, which is super stressful.”
Every month, dogs featured by Wesley find their forever homes as people see their personalities and journeys through his social media. One of the dogs Wesley worked closely with was a pit bull boxer mix named Bear, whose high energy and jumping habits kept him from finding a forever home. Before meeting Wesley, Bear was one of the longest residents at the shelter, having been there since he was a puppy. Wesley spent months running with Bear, taking him to places like Lowe’s and filming him enjoying the world outside. Eventually, people started recognizing Bear in public. After months of dedication, Bear’s big moment came — he was adopted by a family from Maine!
“It made me feel like I’m making a difference,” says Wesley. “This has given me way more than I’ve sacrificed.” Through his actions, Wesley hopes to inspire more people to spend time with their local shelter dogs. “If you just set aside a little bit of time, you can make a huge difference in a person’s life and an animal’s life,” he says. “So that’s the goal.”
24. Why does Wesley always take dogs out for runs?
A. To relieve stress of work. B. To find them forever homes.
C. To promote the shelters. D. To ensure safety of the dogs.
25. What does the underlined word “frantic” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Calm and relaxed. B. Nervous but curious.
C. Frightened and upset. D. Confused but delighted.
26. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons why dogs are not adopted.
B. An example of Wesley’s meaningful act.
C. The role social media plays in daily life.
D. The process of helping dogs find shelters.
27. Which of the following best describes Wesley?
A. Caring. B. Generous. C. Confident. D. Ambitious.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了27岁的韦斯利·斯温斯顿经常跑步,并总是带着一只收容所的狗在身边,帮助狗找到主人的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“His goal is to find them forever homes by spending time with them and documenting their journey. (他目标是花时间和它们在一起,记录它们的旅程,为它们找到永远的家。)”可知,他带着收容所的狗跑步是为了帮助狗找到永远的家。故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“As a result, when they encounter visitors, they often bark and become frantic in their cages. ‘They haven’t seen a lot of life,’ he says. ‘So they’re going to be pretty fearful of people and things like cars or leaves blowing on the ground.’ (因此,当它们遇到访客时,它们经常在笼子里吠叫并变得frantic。他说:“它们没有见过很多生活。”“所以它们会非常害怕人和东西,比如汽车或吹在地上的树叶。”)”可知,这些狗关在笼子里没有见过很多生活以及害怕人和东西,所以划线词指的是害怕的和沮丧的。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“One of the dogs Wesley worked closely with was a pit bull boxer mix named Bear, whose high energy and jumping habits kept him from finding a forever home. Before meeting Wesley, Bear was one of the longest residents at the shelter, having been there since he was a puppy. Wesley spent months running with Bear, taking him to places like Lowe’s and filming him enjoying the world outside. Eventually, people started recognizing Bear in public. After months of dedication, Bear’s big moment came — he was adopted by a family from Maine! (韦斯利密切合作的一只狗是一只名叫贝尔的比特斗牛拳师混血狗,它的高能量和跳跃习惯使它无法找到一个永远的家。在遇到韦斯利之前,贝尔是收容所住得最久的狗之一,从他还是只小狗的时候就住在那里。韦斯利花了几个月的时间和贝尔一起跑步,带他去劳氏这样的地方,拍摄他享受外面的世界。最终,人们开始在公共场合认出贝尔。经过几个月的努力,贝尔的重要时刻到来了——他被缅因州的一个家庭收养了!)”可知,本段用一只名为贝尔的狗找到了家的故事,说明韦斯利有意义行为的一个例子。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Through his actions, Wesley hopes to inspire more people to spend time with their local shelter dogs. ‘If you just set aside a little bit of time, you can make a huge difference in a person’s life and an animal’s life,” he says. “So that’s the goal.’ (通过他的行动,韦斯利希望激励更多的人花时间和他们当地的收容所的狗在一起。他说:“如果你只留出一点时间,你就能给人和动物的生活带来巨大的不同。”“这就是我们的目标。”)”以及全文内容可知,韦斯利帮助收容所的狗找到主人以及鼓励更多的人花时间和当地收容所的狗在一起,可推知他是关心的,体贴的。故选A。
C
When Ernst Witte visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam last year, he wasn’t expecting to leave his mark on art history. Witte, a chef and visual artist, was admiring work by the famed Dutch artist when his professional knowledge signaled something was improper: Red Cabbages and Onions, an 1887 still life, had been incorrectly titled.
In the painting, Witte saw two heads of garlic, not onions. Confident in his identification thanks to his experience in the kitchen—he is currently the head chef of Restaurant Feu in Utrecht, Netherlands—he sent a message to the museum, which took it seriously from the start.
With his wife, Witte prepared a presentation and a video comparing the way van Gogh painted the two items over the course of his career, including his 1889 work Still Life With a Plate of Onions. Using his own artistic talents, Witte also made an overlay drawing on top of the suspected garlic in Red Cabbages and Onions to show how van Gogh had painted them.
The museum then handed over the information to its research team, which concluded, with the help of a biologist, that Witte was right: The painting’s ingredients had been misidentified since the first time it was shown to the public in 1928.
“It was a feeling of intense joy and happiness, and also confirmation that I have a chef/painter’s view of things,” he posted. “The painting side of me helps me a lot with my color use and the composition of my dishes.”
In November, the museum told Witte it was changing the name of the painting, which is now listed as Red Cabbages and Garlic.
To celebrate his discovery, Witte created a dish inspired by the painting, featuring poached red cabbage and a smoked garlic creme with a vinaigrette of lemon balm, tarragon and absinthe.
28. What did Witte discover in the Van Gogh Museum?
A. There was a mistake in the name of a painting.
B. The author’s name on a painting was incorrect.
C. There were some marks on a painting in the museum.
D. Onions were Van Gogh’s favourite subject in painting.
29. What was the basis of Witte’s discovery?
A. Sheer curiosity. B. Adventurous spirit.
C. Thorough research. D. Professional background.
30. How did the museum respond to Witte’s discovery?
A. It ignored Witte’s message.
B. It confirmed and corrected its mistake.
C. It made an overlay drawing.
D. It presented its ultimate finding in a video.
31. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Chef’s Artistic Eye: Beating Van Gogh.
B. A New Dish Inspired by Van Gogh’s Painting.
C. The Boundary Between Art and Real Life.
D. Onion or Garlic—That is the Question.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Witte, a chef and visual artist, was admiring work by the famed Dutch artist when his professional knowledge signaled something was improper: Red Cabbages and Onions, an 1887 still life, had been incorrectly titled.(Witte是一名厨师和视觉艺术家,当时他正在欣赏这位著名荷兰艺术家的作品,突然他的专业知识显示出一些不恰当的地方:1887年的一幅静物画《红卷心菜和洋葱》的标题错了。)”可知,Witte在梵高博物馆发现有一幅画的名字弄错了。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Witte, a chef and visual artist, was admiring work by the famed Dutch artist when his professional knowledge signaled something was improper(Witte是一名厨师和视觉艺术家,当时他正在欣赏这位著名荷兰艺术家的作品,突然他的专业知识显示出一些不恰当的地方)”可知,Witte的发现的基础是专业背景。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In November, the museum told Witte it was changing the name of the painting, which is now listed as Red Cabbages and Garlic.(去年11月,博物馆告诉Witte,他们正在更改这幅画的名称,现在这幅画的名称是《红卷心菜和大蒜》。)”可知,博物馆对Witte的发现的反应是确认并纠正了自己的错误。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Witte, a chef and visual artist, was admiring work by the famed Dutch artist when his professional knowledge signaled something was improper: Red Cabbages and Onions, an 1887 still life, had been incorrectly titled.(Witte是一名厨师和视觉艺术家,当时他正在欣赏这位著名荷兰艺术家的作品,突然他的专业知识显示出一些不恰当的地方:1887年的一幅静物画《红卷心菜和洋葱》的标题错了。)”和第二段“In the painting, Witte saw two heads of garlic, not onions.(在画中,Witte看到的是两个蒜头,而不是洋葱。)”可知,本文主要讲的是厨师兼视觉艺术家Ernst Witte在参观阿姆斯特丹梵高博物馆时,凭借其专业知识发现并纠正了一幅梵高静物画《红卷心菜和洋葱》标题错误的故事,他发现画上的是蒜而不是洋葱,因此本文最恰当的题目是D选项“Onion or Garlic—That is the Question.(洋葱还是大蒜——这是个问题。)”。故选D。

The 2024 Olympic Games open in Paris late this month and experts expect this summer to be much hotter than the previous years. With such weather, the Olympic athletes will have to pay more attention to their body temperatures as they train, recover and compete. And the buildings where they will stay during the event will not be equipped with air conditioning.
“The rising temperature has lots of effects on performance,” said Craig Heller of Stanford University, an expert in body temperature regulation.
Stanford University is well known for Olympic Athletes. Stanford-connected athletes won 26 Olympic medals in the 2020 games in Tokyo and 27 in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. As a result, Heller has had the chance to study body temperature regulation. And the school’s closeness to Silicon Valley helped the tech industry enter the playing field.
Heller invented CoolMitt, a device worn like a glove on the hand. It is designed to be used during suspensions in games, in between sets and reps in the gym, or any short break in training or competition.
Once inside the glove, the palm rests on a special pad set to 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. The pad draws the heat out while cooling the athlete’s blood. The cooled blood is sent back to the heart and to the athlete’s muscles. “Taking heat out of the core of the body prevents heat from building up in the active muscles, so that they keep on working,” Heller said. “So by preventing body temperature rising to a dangerous level, CoolMitt enables you to have a higher work volume. The higher work volume you have, the bigger conditioning effect you get.”
Tyler Friedrich of Stanford University works with athletes there. “If we are overheating, we will not be performing at the level that we want or that we should be. So regulating heat and regulating core temperature in some instances can be essential to performance,” he said. The CoolMitt has made a difference. “The athletes notice themselves feeling like at the end of the game they have as much juice or jump in their legs as they did at the beginning,” Friedrich added.
32. What problem may the athletes face during the Paris Olympic Games according to the text?
A. Shabby buildings. B. Poor training conditions.
C. Rising temperature. D. Insufficient equipment.
33. What is the purpose of Heller’s invention?
A. To regulate the body temperature of athletes.
B. To promote the technology of Silicon Valley.
C. To reduce the temperature of the playing field.
D. To shorten the breaks in training or competition.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. When the device is used. B. How the device works.
C. How the device is designed. D. Why the device is invented.
35. What does Tyler Friedrich think of CoolMitt?
A. It is of little practical value.
B. Its effect remains to be seen.
C. It has proved to be significant and effective.
D. It has a long way to go before it is put into use.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了斯坦福大学专家研发的CoolMitt装置如何帮助运动员在高温天气中更好地控制体温,从而提升其运动表现。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The 2024 Olympic Games open in Paris late this month and experts expect this summer to be much hotter than the previous years. With such weather, the Olympic athletes will have to pay more attention to their body temperatures as they train, recover and compete.(2024年奥运会将于本月底在巴黎开幕,专家预计今年夏天将比往年热得多。在这样的天气下,奥运会运动员在训练、恢复和比赛中不得不更加关注自己的体温)”以及第二段中“The rising temperature has lots of effects on performance(体温上升对运动表现有很多影响)”可知,运动员在巴黎奥运会期间可能会面临的问题是体温上升。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a result, Heller has had the chance to study body temperature regulation.(因此,Heller有机会研究体温调节)”和倒数第二段“Once inside the glove, the palm rests on a special pad set to 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. The pad draws the heat out while cooling the athlete’s blood. The cooled blood is sent back to the heart and to the athlete’s muscles.(一旦进入手套,手掌就会放在一个设置在10到12摄氏度的特殊垫上。垫在冷却运动员血液的同时将热量抽出。冷却后的血液被送回心脏和运动员的肌肉。)”和“Taking heat out of the core of the body prevents heat from building up in the active muscles, so that they keep on working(将热量从身体的核心排出,可以防止热量在活跃的肌肉中积聚,从而使它们继续工作)”可知,Heller的发明的目的是调节运动员体温。故选A。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Once inside the glove, the palm rests on a special pad set to 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. The pad draws the heat out while cooling the athlete’s blood. The cooled blood is sent back to the heart and to the athlete’s muscles.(一旦进入手套,手掌就会放在一个设置在10到12摄氏度的特殊垫上。垫在冷却运动员血液的同时将热量抽出。冷却后的血液被送回心脏和运动员的肌肉。)”可知,第五段的主要内容是这个装置是如何工作的。故选B。

77. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为80左右。
When I was ten, I was shy. Almost everyone made me nervous. I was also a good kid, following rules and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
It was raining hard that day and the school bus was crowded. Most of the kids were engaged in conversation. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped the window to see the rain outside. The rushing water was filling the street, overflowing the curbs and drains (排水管).
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to clear. I spotted a kitty struggling in what seemed to be a surging river across the street. His body had already been sucked (吸入) into the dark opening of a storm drain, his little front paws seizing the bars tightly. He swallowed water and breathed hard as he fought the current (水流) with all of his strength.
My heart was racing, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus to save the poor cat. But I knew that the bus driver, Mrs. Foster, would never allow me off the bus. It was against the rules to even stand up.
The bus began to move forward But the cat’s eyes locked on to mine. He was begging for help. The weight of hopelessness blanketed down around me. Somehow I managed to stand up.
“Mrs. Foster!” I cried. Every person on the bus stopped talking and looked at me.
“There’s a cat in the drain,” I stammered. “If we don’t help him, he’ll die.” I held out a shaking hand and pointed.
Mrs. Foster, to my amazement, did not yell at me. Nor did the other kids laugh at me. Instead, she pulled the bus to the side of the busy road. “Children,” she said strictly. “No one is to leave this bus.”
Then Mrs. Foster rushed out into the traffic and rain.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then Mrs. Foster rushed out into the traffic and rain. Without grabbing an umbrella, Mrs. Foster quickly pulled the cat into her arms. She tightly held the terrified creature, removed her own coat to wrap the cat in it, and then raced back to the bus.We all cheered until she gestured us to be quiet. Mrs. Foster handed me the poor little cat. The cat was rescued, and I breathed a sigh of relief. My actions had not only saved a life but also broken some of my own barriers. I found it easier to speak up and connect with people around me and I was no longer shy when I was in any situation.

A
Four of the Most Beautiful Roads in the United States
Alaska Highway, Alaska
In the early days of World War II, fears of a potential attack on the Territory of Alaska stimulated military officials to create the Alaska Highway.
Eagle-eyed motorists may spot caribou, moose and grizzly bears along the road. Those keen on eyeing bald eagles should plan a stop near the Canadian border at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. Its wetlands serve as a pit stop for 180 species of migratory birds, including America’s national bird, on their springtime journey towards the ice fields and glaciers at the road’s northernmost reaches.
Highway 101, California
“The 101” is a drivable California postcard, taking motorists past the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The route offers a chance to not only see some of the best that California has to offer, but also smell and taste it when the road cuts through the heart of Sonoma’s wine country. Over 400 different wineries there produce varieties of wine.
Hana Highway, Hawaii
The Hana Highway dates to the 16th century, when Native Hawaiians first paved the road with lava blocks. Today, the route is one of Maui’s greatest tourist draws, with its 617 switchbacks hiding some of the island’s best attractions. The natural pools formed by waterfalls at Waikamoi Stream are a swimmer’s dream. Locals may be driving much faster. So if you see a local person driving behind you, you should pull over as soon as you can.
Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana
Millions of years ago, the area around Montana’s Glacier National Park was submerged under ice a mile deep. The most striking reminders of the region’s prehistoric origins are the 25 glaciers that give the park its name. The glaciers have been shrinking for decades, and more than 50 have disappeared entirely since the mid-1800s. Visitors may be flocking to Glacier to see these natural wonders before they vanish.
21. Which one below was built for military purpose?
A. Alaska Highway, Alaska. B. Highway 101, California.
C. Hana Highway, Hawaii. D. Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana.
22. What can you do along Highway 101?
A. Appreciate glaciers. B. See wild animals.
C. Swim in a natural pool. D. Taste various wine.
23. Why should you pay attention to the locals while driving down Hana Highway?
A. They are repaving the road. B. They block the road with lava stones.
C. They are driving very fast. D. They are not friendly to the tourists.
B
As an active duty Marine and marathon runner, 27-year-old Wesley Swainston runs regularly and always has a dog by his side. However, the dogs are usually not his.
Wesley lovingly calls these dogs “shelter gems” — pups that are amazing but not adopted because they have not spent enough time with people and are stressed out in the shelter. His goal is to find them forever homes by spending time with them and documenting their journey.
Wesley visits nearby shelters after work every week. It all started when he noticed that many shelter dogs lack socialization and interaction with humans. As a result, when they encounter visitors, they often bark and become frantic in their cages. “They haven’t seen a lot of life,” he says. “So they’re going to be pretty fearful of people and things like cars or leaves blowing on the ground.”
Wesley discovered that taking them out for runs and exposing them to the outside world can have a transformative effect. “It was a night and day difference,” he says. “It gives them a chance to get away from the shelter, which is super stressful.”
Every month, dogs featured by Wesley find their forever homes as people see their personalities and journeys through his social media. One of the dogs Wesley worked closely with was a pit bull boxer mix named Bear, whose high energy and jumping habits kept him from finding a forever home. Before meeting Wesley, Bear was one of the longest residents at the shelter, having been there since he was a puppy. Wesley spent months running with Bear, taking him to places like Lowe’s and filming him enjoying the world outside. Eventually, people started recognizing Bear in public. After months of dedication, Bear’s big moment came — he was adopted by a family from Maine!
“It made me feel like I’m making a difference,” says Wesley. “This has given me way more than I’ve sacrificed.” Through his actions, Wesley hopes to inspire more people to spend time with their local shelter dogs. “If you just set aside a little bit of time, you can make a huge difference in a person’s life and an animal’s life,” he says. “So that’s the goal.”
24. Why does Wesley always take dogs out for runs?
A. To relieve stress of work. B. To find them forever homes.
C. To promote the shelters. D. To ensure safety of the dogs.
25. What does the underlined word “frantic” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Calm and relaxed. B. Nervous but curious.
C. Frightened and upset. D. Confused but delighted.
26. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons why dogs are not adopted.
B. An example of Wesley’s meaningful act.
C. The role social media plays in daily life.
D. The process of helping dogs find shelters.
27. Which of the following best describes Wesley?
A. Caring. B. Generous. C. Confident. D. Ambitious.
C
When Ernst Witte visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam last year, he wasn’t expecting to leave his mark on art history. Witte, a chef and visual artist, was admiring work by the famed Dutch artist when his professional knowledge signaled something was improper: Red Cabbages and Onions, an 1887 still life, had been incorrectly titled.
In the painting, Witte saw two heads of garlic, not onions. Confident in his identification thanks to his experience in the kitchen—he is currently the head chef of Restaurant Feu in Utrecht, Netherlands—he sent a message to the museum, which took it seriously from the start.
With his wife, Witte prepared a presentation and a video comparing the way van Gogh painted the two items over the course of his career, including his 1889 work Still Life With a Plate of Onions. Using his own artistic talents, Witte also made an overlay drawing on top of the suspected garlic in Red Cabbages and Onions to show how van Gogh had painted them.
The museum then handed over the information to its research team, which concluded, with the help of a biologist, that Witte was right: The painting’s ingredients had been misidentified since the first time it was shown to the public in 1928.
“It was a feeling of intense joy and happiness, and also confirmation that I have a chef/painter’s view of things,” he posted. “The painting side of me helps me a lot with my color use and the composition of my dishes.”
In November, the museum told Witte it was changing the name of the painting, which is now listed as Red Cabbages and Garlic.
To celebrate his discovery, Witte created a dish inspired by the painting, featuring poached red cabbage and a smoked garlic creme with a vinaigrette of lemon balm, tarragon and absinthe.
28. What did Witte discover in the Van Gogh Museum?
A. There was a mistake in the name of a painting.
B. The author’s name on a painting was incorrect.
C. There were some marks on a painting in the museum.
D. Onions were Van Gogh’s favourite subject in painting.
29. What was the basis of Witte’s discovery?
A. Sheer curiosity. B. Adventurous spirit.
C. Thorough research. D. Professional background.
30. How did the museum respond to Witte’s discovery?
A. It ignored Witte’s message.
B. It confirmed and corrected its mistake.
C. It made an overlay drawing.
D. It presented its ultimate finding in a video.
31. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Chef’s Artistic Eye: Beating Van Gogh.
B. A New Dish Inspired by Van Gogh’s Painting.
C. The Boundary Between Art and Real Life.
D. Onion or Garlic—That is the Question.
D
The 2024 Olympic Games open in Paris late this month and experts expect this summer to be much hotter than the previous years. With such weather, the Olympic athletes will have to pay more attention to their body temperatures as they train, recover and compete. And the buildings where they will stay during the event will not be equipped with air conditioning.
“The rising temperature has lots of effects on performance,” said Craig Heller of Stanford University, an expert in body temperature regulation.
Stanford University is well known for Olympic Athletes. Stanford-connected athletes won 26 Olympic medals in the 2020 games in Tokyo and 27 in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. As a result, Heller has had the chance to study body temperature regulation. And the school’s closeness to Silicon Valley helped the tech industry enter the playing field.
Heller invented CoolMitt, a device worn like a glove on the hand. It is designed to be used during suspensions in games, in between sets and reps in the gym, or any short break in training or competition.
Once inside the glove, the palm rests on a special pad set to 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. The pad draws the heat out while cooling the athlete’s blood. The cooled blood is sent back to the heart and to the athlete’s muscles. “Taking heat out of the core of the body prevents heat from building up in the active muscles, so that they keep on working,” Heller said. “So by preventing body temperature rising to a dangerous level, CoolMitt enables you to have a higher work volume. The higher work volume you have, the bigger conditioning effect you get.”
Tyler Friedrich of Stanford University works with athletes there. “If we are overheating we will not be performing at the level that we want or that we should be. So regulating heat and regulating core temperature in some instances can be essential to performance,” he said. The CoolMitt has made a difference. “The athletes notice themselves feeling like at the end of the game they have as much juice or jump in their legs as they did at the beginning,” Friedrich added.
32. What problem may the athletes face during the Paris Olympic Games according to the text?
A. Shabby buildings. B. Poor training conditions.
C. Rising temperature. D. Insufficient equipment.
33. What is the purpose of Heller’s invention?
A. To regulate the body temperature of athletes.
B. To promote the technology of Silicon Valley.
C. To reduce the temperature of the playing field.
D. To shorten the breaks in training or competition.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. When the device is used. B. How the device works.
C. How the device is designed. D. Why the device is invented.
35. What does Tyler Friedrich think of CoolMitt?
A. It is of little practical value.
B. Its effect remains to be seen.
C. It has proved to be significant and effective.
D. It has a long way to go before it is put into use.

77. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为80左右。
When I was ten, I was shy. Almost everyone made me nervous. I was also a good kid, following rules and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
It was raining hard that day and the school bus was crowded. Most of the kids were engaged in conversation. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped the window to see the rain outside. The rushing water was filling the street, overflowing the curbs and drains (排水管).
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to clear. I spotted a kitty struggling in what seemed to be a surging river across the street. His body had already been sucked (吸入) into the dark opening of a storm drain, his little front paws seizing the bars tightly. He swallowed water and breathed hard as he fought the current (水流) with all of his strength.
My heart was racing, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus to save the poor cat. But I knew that the bus driver, Mrs. Foster, would never allow me off the bus. It was against the rules to even stand up.
The bus began to move forward. But the cat’s eyes locked on to mine. He was begging for help. The weight of hopelessness blanketed down around me. Somehow I managed to stand up.
“Mrs. Foster!” I cried. Every person on the bus stopped talking and looked at me.
“There’s a cat in the drain,” I stammered. “If we don’t help him, he’ll die.” I held out a shaking hand and pointed.
Mrs. Foster, to my amazement, did not yell at me. Nor did the other kids laugh at me. Instead, she pulled the bus to the side of the busy road. “Children,” she said strictly. “No one is to leave this bus.”
Then Mrs Foster rushed out into the traffic and rain.
