Whether you’re a passionate surfer, or you simply want to relax and watch the daring wave runners and body surfers, the Wedge is the perfect place to spend your afternoon. The Wedge has some of the largest waves in Southern California, measuring up to 30 feet. Obviously, it’s not a place for beginner swimmers or young children.

Fashion Island is a shoppers’ paradise, featuring more than 100 brand-name stores, including large chain stores like Macy’s and Neiman Marcus. It also shelters a variety of local and upscale dining options, a Whole Foods Market and a movie theater. Children can enjoy playing with the little games scattered around the area while parents are shopping.
Newport Beach Whale Watching
Newport Beach is one of the country’s best whale watching destinations. In winter and early spring, you’ll catch sight of gray whales migrating south to give birth to their calves; they’ll turn around and head north around April or May. In summer and fall, blue whales are often found swimming in the waters surrounding Newport Beach.

On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛).
I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.
I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”
“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”
She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.
I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.
I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate.
4. Why did the author take up running?
A. By chance. B. Due to stress. C. Out of interest. D. For weight loss.
5. What benefit did the author get from running?
A. Having a regular life style. B. Escaping from her problems.
C. Doing well in school work. D. Getting along well with Mom.
6. What does paragraph 6 mainly talk about?
A. The running process. B. The team spirit.
C. The training hardship. D. The race purpose.
7. What can we learn form the passage?
A. Every dog has its day. B. Challenges build character.
C. Talent is the key to success. D. Accidents can lead to the right path.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B

On Nov.13, 2023, the Kenyan government announced a surprise public holiday for a nationwide tree planting day, part of its plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.
“This Monday on Nov.13, the public across the country were expected to plant trees as a contribution to the national efforts to save our country from the terrible effects of climate change,” said Kindiki, the Home Minister of Kenya.
Kenya’s present forest coverage stands at about 7%. Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.
“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.
He added, “Having been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing rather well, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”
8. What is the purpose of the public holiday?
A. To increase economic income. B. To encourage people to plant trees.
C. To allow people to get more rest. D. To remind people to get close to nature.
9. Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?
A. Increase. B. Figure. C. Record. D. Stop.
10. What does Soipan Tuya want to say by referring to the day as “a ‘hummingbird’ contribution day”?
A. We should get on well with birds. B. No contribution is too small to leave an impact.
C. Each animal is important to nature. D. It is time to protect hummingbirds.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect Wildlife
B. Kenya Is in Face of Environmental Problems
C. Kenya Improves Relationships with Their Neighbors
D. Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant Trees
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道,介绍了肯尼亚政府意料地宣布了一个全国性的公共假日——植树节,为了拯救国家免受气候变化的可怕影响做出贡献。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“On Nov.13, 2023, the Kenyan government announced a surprise public holiday for a nationwide tree planting day, part of its plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.(2023年11月13日,肯尼亚政府出人意料地宣布了一个全国性的公共假日——植树节,该计划的一部分是到2032年种植150亿棵树)”可知,公共假日的目的是为了鼓励人们植树。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段划线词前文“Kenya’s present forest coverage stands at about 7%. Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row.(肯尼亚目前的森林覆盖率约为7%。森林砍伐加速了气候变化,加剧了非洲之角的干旱,包括肯尼亚,那里已经连续五季没有降雨)”及后文“tree coverage to more than 10%(树木覆盖率达到10%以上)”可知,肯尼亚政府想要努力将森林覆盖率从原来的7%增加到10%,划线词与Increase意思相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.(他把这一天称为“一个‘蜂鸟’的贡献日”。蜂鸟是一种小型鸟类,但它们通过授粉在环境中发挥着重要作用)”可知,这一天被称为“一个‘蜂鸟’的贡献日”是为了表示,虽然个人只是采取小的行动,但是在整体的环境中却起到了重要的作用,因此,Soipan Tuya想要表明的是“再小的贡献也能产生影响。”故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“On Nov.13, 2023, the Kenyan government announced a surprise public holiday for a nationwide tree planting day, part of its plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.(2023年11月13日,肯尼亚政府出人意料地宣布了一个全国性的公共假日——植树节,该计划的一部分是到2032年种植150亿棵树)”及全文内容可知,本文介绍了肯尼亚政府意料地宣布了一个全国性的公共假日——植树节。D选项“肯尼亚给公众带来了一个意外的植树节日”符合主旨。故选D。

Are you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?
A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.
Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.
The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.
According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.
There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ mental well-being.
And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.
“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”
12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a phenomenon. B. To bring in the topic.
C. To ask an interesting question. D. To provide background information.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By analyzing previous studies. B. By observing the behavior of birds.
C. By gathering feelings of participants. D. By studying people’s effect on birds.
14. What does Hammoud think of the new study?
A. Pioneering. B. Interesting. C. Conventional. D. Practical.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A Bird watching has become a popular hobby.
B. Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.
C. Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.
D. Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,接触鸟,包括赏鸟、听鸟鸣等有助于人的心理健康。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Are you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?”( 你喜欢鸟吗?如果是这样,你可能会欣赏它们美丽的颜色和甜美的歌声。但你知道这些长着羽毛的朋友实际上可以做更多的事情吗?)可知,第一段主要是引入主题。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird.”(伦敦国王学院的研究人员使用了一款由该学院城市思维项目开发的智能手机应用程序,来收集研究参与者在看到或听到鸟叫声时的实时感受)可知,研究者们利用智能手机的应用程序实时记录研究参与者们看到或听到鸟儿的情绪。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第七段“And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time”(虽然这项研究增加了关于鸟类和心理健康的少量研究,但该报告标志着研究人员首次实时研究了对鸟类和心理健康的反应)可知,Hammoud认为该研究第一次关注了人们对鸟儿的反应以及实时的情绪变化,因此是开创性的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.”(发表在《科学报告》杂志上的一项新研究发现,无论是在家里还是在户外,与鸟类接触都能改善人们的情绪。)可知,究发现,接触鸟,包括赏鸟、听鸟鸣等有助于人的心理健康。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。
Laziness and tiredness are so alike that it is difficult to tell them apart. ______16______.
Feel unrelated to everything.
People experiencing·tiredness-most commonly don’t feel like themselves anymore, don’t feel interested in anything and always struggle with sense of helplessness to manage their lives.
Used to be active.
A clear difference between someone who’s tired and someone who’s lazy is that tired people felt attracted by many things before. ______17______. And they find it hard to do the things they once loved.
Become moody and angry.
______18______? Do you often feel emotionally (情感上地) out of control and don’t know why? If you start to have trouble controlling your emotions, especially when it never used to be a problem for you, this might be a warning sign of tiredness rather than laziness.
______19______.
One of the signs is that you care little about yourself and try to keep away from others. You don’t want to dress up yourself and you spend most of your time by yourself doing nothing.
Change day by day.
Tiredness develops in different stages. All of the points mentioned above won’t just happen overnight. However, by the time you reach the final stage, tiredness has already become rooted so deeply in your life that the continuous mental and physical tiredness become much greater and harder to treat. ______20______.
A. Focus on signs
B. Pay little attention to your selfcare
C. Do you suddenly find yourself easily angry
D. Do lazy people always feel uninterested in things around
E. But they may now be struggling to find interest or enjoyment
F. Here are five obvious signs to show you’re experiencing tiredness rather than laziness
G. So the earlier you notice signs of tiredness, the more easily you can get help and recover from it
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. C 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了感到疲倦的五个症状。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Laziness and tiredness are so alike that it is difficult to tell them apart.(懒惰和疲劳是如此相似,以至于很难将它们区分开来)”可知,空格处的句子应该提到“疲劳和懒惰的不同”,F项“Here are five obvious signs to show you’re experiencing tiredness rather than laziness(这里有五个明显的迹象表明你正在经历疲劳而不是懒惰)”承接上文,开始讲述懒惰和疲劳区别,并引出下文,符号语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“A clear difference between someone who’s tired and someone who’s lazy is that tired people felt attracted by many things before.(疲倦的人和懒惰的人之间有一个明显的区别,那就是疲倦的人以前会被很多事情吸引)”以及后文“And they find it hard to do the things they once loved.(他们发现很难再做自己曾经热爱的事情了)”可知,疲倦的人之前会被很多事情吸引,现在发现很难再做自己曾经热爱的事情了,所以空处应是表转折,承接前后文,E项“But they may now be struggling to find interest or enjoyment(但他们现在可能正在努力寻找兴趣或乐趣)”符合文意,承接上文,引出下文。故选E项。
【18题详解】
分析设空,是个问句,答案在B,D两项中,位于句首,是本段中心句,根据后文“Do you often feel emotionally (情感上地) out of control and don’t know why? If you start to have trouble controlling your emotions, especially when it never used to be a problem for you, this might be a warning sign of tiredness rather than laziness.(你是否经常感到情绪失控而不知道为什么?如果你开始难以控制自己的情绪,尤其是当它从来都不是你的问题时,这可能是疲劳的警告信号,而不是懒惰)”可知,本段讲述的是疲倦的人情绪会变的难以控制,所以C项“Do you suddenly find yourself easily angry(你是否突然发现自己很容易生气)”符合本段主题。故选C项。
【19题详解】
分析设空,是本段的小标题,对本段的高度概括,根据后文“One of the signs is that you care little about yourself and try to keep away from others. You don’t want to dress up yourself and you spend most of your time by yourself doing nothing.(其中一个迹象是你不关心自己,并试图远离他人。你不想打扮自己,而且你大部分时间都是一个人无所事事)”可知,本段主要讲述了,疲倦的人,不太关注自己,所以B项“Pay little attention to your selfcare(很少注意你的自我护理)”符合文意,是本段小标题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
分析设空,位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Tiredness develops in different stages. All of the points mentioned above won’t just happen overnight. However, by the time you reach the final stage, tiredness has already become rooted so deeply in your life that the continuous mental and physical tiredness become much greater and harder to treat.(疲劳的发展有不同的阶段。上面提到的所有要点都不会在一夜之间发生。然而,当你到达最后阶段的时候,疲劳已经深深地扎根在你的生活中,持续的精神和身体疲劳变得更加严重和难以治疗)”可知,本段主要讲述疲劳的发展有不同的阶段,最后会难以治疗,所以G项“So the earlier you notice signs of tiredness, the more easily you can get help and recover from it(所以你越早注意到疲劳的迹象,你就越容易得到帮助并从中恢复过来)”和前文构成因果关系,是对前文的总结。故选G项。

【答案】Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history.
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty. He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi (Maps and Records of the World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China, which opened our eyes to the world. So he and his works are still worthy of being respected by us now. In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more? I can find you some books! Just let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. The school took part in the league matches every year. However, it never ended well. We were more of the audience, watching and cheering instead of sweating out in the fields.
Fortunately, the school held the tradition that the school’s old team was to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. For lack of resources, the old team bad no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game.
I was assigned (指派) as the coach of the new team, which was why I was excited. I believed that we were going to win, but to my disappointment, we were defeated. I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I tried to figure out the reason and what I should do next.
It didn’t take long before I came to realize that my team was depending on me. Without proper guidance or previous experience, my team was at a loss what to do. I had to change my attitude so that I could bring out the best in them about their ability and potential.
I would let my action do the talking. First, I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. I could see their spirits lifted, with their head held high in great confidence. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. Only when they regarded themselves as winners could they willingly invest time and energy.
This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations. We met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football. At first, some complained that even the hardest practice couldn't change the fact that they were the last. The whole team was covered by the sense of depression and failure. What I could do at that time was to company them and try to cheer them up. Encouraged by my persistence, the team gathered the spirit of trying again and practiced even harder. This time, we sweated out in the fields instead of being the audience, watching and cheering. Every inch of the field has seen the effort of my team.
Six months later, football season started. After suffering our failure on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills of my life! From the game I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can influence the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves differently, and they built themselves into winners. Winners are made, not born.

Newport Beach is one of the country’s best whale watching destinations.

On a Saturday morning last November I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛).
I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.
I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”
“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”
She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.
I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.
I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate.

On Nov.13, 2023, the Kenyan government announced a surprise public holiday for a nationwide tree planting day, part of its plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.
“This Monday on Nov.13, the public across the country were expected to plant trees as a contribution to the national efforts to save our country from the terrible effects of climate change,” said Kindiki, the Home Minister of Kenya.
Kenya’s present forest coverage stands at about 7%. Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.
“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.
He added, “Having been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing rather well, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”
8. What is the purpose of the public holiday?
A. To increase economic income. B. To encourage people to plant trees.
C. To allow people to get more rest. D. To remind people to get close to nature.
9. Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?
A. Increase. B. Figure. C. Record. D. Stop.
10. What does Soipan Tuya want to say by referring to the day as “a ‘hummingbird’ contribution day”?
A We should get on well with birds. B. No contribution is too small to leave an impact.
C. Each animal is important to nature. D. It is time to protect hummingbirds.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect Wildlife
B. Kenya Is in Face of Environmental Problems
C. Kenya Improves Relationships with Their Neighbors
D. Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant Trees
D
Are you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?
A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.
Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.
The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.
According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.
There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ mental well-being.
And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.
“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”
12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a phenomenon. B. To bring in the topic.
C. To ask an interesting question. D. To provide background information.
13 How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By analyzing previous studies. B. By observing the behavior of birds.
C. By gathering feelings of participants. D. By studying people’s effect on birds.
14. What does Hammoud think of the new study?
A. Pioneering. B. Interesting. C. Conventional. D. Practical.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Bird watching has become a popular hobby.
B. Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.
C. Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.
D. Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.
