Here are four page-turners for those seeking a better read. Scarborough, by Catherine Hernandez Catherine Hernandez’s multi-award winning novel shines the spotlight on Scarborough, a diverse neighbourhood that includes areas struggling with poverty and neglect. Scarborough looks at the challenges faced by its residents as they struggled against the difficulties and achieved success in this tightly united community. Brother, by David Chariandy Brother looks at racism, class, masculinity and the dreams of upward mobility harbored by its young leading character.

Magnified World, by Grace O’Connell An exploration of loss and identity, Magnified World is a novel starting with a mother’s death and charts the grief — or “madness” — of Maggie.

What is the text? A. Film preview. B. Academic article. C. Food advertisement. D. Book recommendation. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四本关于多伦多的书籍。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scarborough, by Catherine Hernandez”部分中“Scarborough looks at the challenges faced by its residents as they struggled against the difficulties and achieved success in this tightly united community.”（Scarborough见证了其居民面临的挑战，他们在这个紧密团结的社区中与困难作斗争并取得了成功。）可知，Scarborough社区的特点是紧密团结在一起，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scarborough, by Catherine Hernandez”部分中“Catherine Hernandez’s multi-award winning novel shines the spotlight on Scarborough...”（凯瑟琳·埃尔南德斯的这部屡获殊荣的小说让人们关注了斯卡伯勒……）、“Brother, by David Chariandy”部分中“This fast-paced novel is driven by hip hop, romance and timeliness...”（这部快节奏的小说是由嘻哈、浪漫和时效性驱动的……）、“The Pitiful Human-Lizard, by Jason Loo”部分中“The Pitiful Human-Lizard comic book series tells the hard journey of Lucas Barrett, an office clerk who works part-time as a superhero for evenings and weekends.”（《The Pitiful Human-Lizard》漫画系列讲述了Lucas Barrett的艰难旅程，他是一个办公室职员，晚上和周末兼职做超级英雄。）以及“Magnified World, by Grace O’Connell”部分中“An exploration of loss and identity, Magnified World is a novel starting with a mother’s death and charts the grief — or “madness” — of Maggie.”（《 Magnified World》是一部探索失落和身份的小说，从一位母亲的死亡开始，描绘了玛吉的悲伤——或者说‘疯狂’。）可知，《The Pitiful Human-Lizard》与其他三本书不同的地方在于它是一部漫画系列，其他三本书是小说。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Here are four page-turners for those seeking a better read.”（这里有四本引人入胜的书，适合那些寻求更好阅读的人。）可知，短文主要介绍了四本关于多伦多的书籍。所以本篇文章是书籍推荐，故选D。 B China’s newly-released TV show To the Wonder has made Altay (阿勒泰) in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region a new stylish and top-tier tourism destination among young people, who are attracted by the breathtaking views and the simple and heartwarming lives of the local residents. The travel portal (门户网站) Qunar said that from May 7 — the day the TV show began its commercial airing, flight ticket bookings to Altay rose 20 percent compared with the same period in the previous month, and hotel bookings doubled during the period on its platform. Homestay operating and booking platform Tujia said that bookings for homestays in Altay had surged by 200 percent from May 9 to Wednesday, compared with the same period in April. Altay enjoys great advantages in developing tourism, including its breathtaking grassland and lake views, and original and well-preserved villages. The place is also a popular skiing destination in winter. Wei Changren, founder of btiii. com, a tourism-related financial news portal, said that Altay has not become famous overnight, but has long been a destination well-known for its natural beauty. However, it hasn’t been very popular because of long travel times and higher costs of accommodation. Though Altay still lacks the capability to receive large numbers of travelers, Wei believes that the development of its tourism sector enjoys great prospects. “Altay has different charms in summer and winter, and these distinct seasonal views are attractive to travelers. From my perspective, authorities in Altay can take the hit show as an opportunity and continue developing good tourism and cultural resources to attract travelers. The local tourism infrastructure can also be improved to enhance visitors’ experiences,” he added. It’s not the first time in recent years that a teleplay has helped turn its location into a popular tourism destination. In January 2023, the TV drama Meet Yourself, starring Liu Yifei and Li Xian, made Dali a trendy tourism destination. 4. How does the writer indicate the booming tourism in Altay in Paragraph 2? A. By analyzing causes. B. By presenting research. C. By giving specific examples. D. By listing and comparing figures. 5. What does Wei think of the tourism development in Altay? A. Promising. B. Depressed. C. Steady. D. Outdated. 6. What does the underlined word “hit” in the fifth paragraph mean? A. A heated discussion. B. A classic masterpiece. C. A well-received work. D. A controversial TV drama. 7 What is the text mainly about? A. The impact of a new TV drama on tourism. B. The prosperous tourism and cultural resources. C. The improvement of local tourism infrastructure. D. The distinct charms of Altay in different seasons. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。中国新推出的电视节目《去有风的地方》使新疆阿勒泰成为年轻人中时尚且顶级的旅游目的地。阿勒泰自然风光和淳朴生活吸引游客，旅游预订量大增。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The travel portal Qunar said that from May 7 — the day the TV show began its commercial airing, flight ticket bookings to Altay rose 20 percent compared with the same period in the previous month, and hotel bookings doubled during the period on its platform. Homestay operating and booking platform Tujia said that bookings for homestays in Altay had surged by 200 percent from May 9 to Wednesday, compared with the same period in April.”（旅游门户网站去哪儿网表示，从5月7日电视剧开始商业播出起，与上月同期相比，前往阿勒泰的机票预订量增长了20%，在该平台上，酒店预订量在此期间翻了一番。民宿经营和预订平台途家表示，与4月同期相比，5月9日至周三，阿勒泰的民宿预订量激增了200%。）可知，作者通过列出和比较具体的数字来表明阿勒泰旅游业的蓬勃发展。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Though Altay still lacks the capability to receive large numbers of travelers, Wei believes that the development of its tourism sector enjoys great prospects.”（虽然阿勒泰仍缺乏接待大量游客的能力，但魏认为其旅游业的发展前景广阔。）可知，魏认为阿勒泰的旅游业发展前景广阔。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前定冠词“the”可推知，the hit show特指第一段“China’s newly-released TV show To the Wonder has made Altay (阿勒泰) in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region a new stylish and top-tier tourism destination among young people”中提到的电视节目《去有风的地方》。再结合句中“as an opportunity and continue developing good tourism and cultural resources to attract travelers”可知，作者建议阿勒泰当局可以以这一“热门节目”为契机，继续开发良好的旅游和文化资源，以吸引游客。故划线词hit的意思是“一部受欢迎的作品”，与同义a well-received work。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“China’s newly-released TV show To the Wonder has made Altay in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region a new stylish and top-tier tourism destination among young people, who are attracted by the breathtaking views and the simple and heartwarming lives of the local residents.”（中国最新推出的电视节目《去有风的地方》使新疆阿勒泰成为年轻人中新潮且顶级的旅游目的地，他们被当地令人叹为观止的风景和简单而温馨的生活所吸引。）以及后文对于这个电视节目对阿勒泰旅游业影响的详细描述，可知本文主要讲述的是一个电视节目对旅游业的影响。故选A项。 C The art of writing by hand has a honorable history. From Emily Dickinson’s elegant cursive, to Stephen King’s neat block lettering, many of the most famous and important works of literature have been written by hand. Studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous benefits in terms of memory, brain development, and even the quality of the writing itself. Some say that handwriting has become a dying art since the arrival of the typewriter in the mid 1880s, even more so due to computers. However, despite the sense that writing on paper is out of date, it actually has a number of very important benefits. Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory, it is also important for cognitive (认知的) development. In learning to write by hand, the human brain must integrate sensation, movement control, and thinking. For whatever reason, it does not do so when learning to type. A 2021 study by the University of Tokyo shows that writing on paper could help students recall material better than typing on a keyboard. Likewise, a 2014 study from the Association for Psychological Science shows that taking notes on a laptop as opposed to writing them longhand (普通书写), leads to shallower processing of the material learned. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures word by word, without processing information and rewording it in their own language. Writing by hand also helps students do better on exams. A study led by Dr. Virginia Berninger, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, suggests that children wrote longer and more complex essays when they were writing by hand, as opposed to using a keyboard. So the next time you sit down to write an email to a loved one, consider the possibility that it might be better for your brain if you wrote a handwritten letter instead. 8. Why does the author mention Emily Dickinson and Stephen King? A. To compare different writing forms. B. To highlight the the history of writing. C. To illustrate the advantages of writing. D. To introduce the famous writing works. 9. What has been shown to have significant cognitive benefits? A. Writing on paper. B. Tying on a laptop. C. Using a typewriter. D. Learning literature works. 10. What can you learn about writing and typing from Paragraph 4? A. Taking notes on laptops is favored by students. B. There is no distinct difference in processing information. C. Writing by hand helps students remember materials better. D. Taking notes on laptops contributes to deeper processing of the material. 11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of writing on paper? A. Improving memory. B. Quickening the writing speed. C. Enhancing academic performance. D. Boosting information process ability. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了手写艺术的重要性及其在现代社会中的益处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The art of writing by hand has a honorable history. From Emily Dickinson’s elegant cursive, to Stephen King’s neat block lettering, many of the most famous and important works of literature have been written by hand.(手写的艺术有着光荣的历史。从Emily Dickinson优雅的草书，到Stephen King整洁的正体字体，许多最著名、最重要的文学作品都是手写的。)”可知，作者提及Emily Dickinson和Stephen King是为了突出强调书写光荣历史。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory, it is also important for cognitive (认知的) development.(手写不仅对语言处理和记忆很重要，对认知发展也很重要。)”可知，在纸上写已经被证明对认知有显著的好处。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A 2021 study by the University of Tokyo shows that writing on paper could help students recall material better than typing on a keyboard.(东京大学2021年的一项研究表明，在纸上写字比在键盘上打字更能帮助学生回忆材料。)”可知，书写可以帮助学生们更好地回忆信息。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory(手写不仅对语言处理和记忆很重要)”，第四段“taking notes on a laptop as opposed to writing them longhand (普通书写), leads to shallower processing of the material learned. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures word by word, without processing information and rewording it in their own language(与手写笔记相比，在笔记本电脑上记笔记会导致对所学材料的浅层处理。这是因为当使用笔记本电脑时，学生们经常会一个字一个字地输入讲课内容，而不需要处理信息，也不需要用自己的语言重新表述)”，第五段“Writing by hand also helps students do better on exams.(手写也有助于学生在考试中取得更好的成绩。)”可知，文中提到的书写的好处包括改善记忆，提高学习成绩，提高信息处理能力，没有提到B选项。故选B。 D It’s a dog, it’s a fox, it’s a wolf… it’s a robot? A new dog-like robot has entered the field. Created to help keep airplanes and animals safe by imitating a predator (捕食者), the Aurora, as it is known, will soon begin its important work at the Fairbanks airport in Alaska. According to The Verge, though not often discussed, the issue of airplane-animal collisions (碰撞) at airports is not trivial. In 2023, 92 animal collisions were reported to the FAA at airports near Alaska. And that’s just Alaska. Trying to relieve this problem without harming wildlife requires some creative thinking. And that is where Aurora comes in. Aurora can climb rocks and stairs, and even do a little dance. Silly as it may seem, these movements are meant to imitate the movements of predators such as foxes and wolves. Aurora can even be disguised as either a fox or a wolf, which hopefully will cause a fear response in the birds and other wildlife. And yet, despite the fact that Aurora costs about $70,000, according to Ryan Marlow, Aurora’s robot handler, the robot is still preferable to a dog: “A border Collie (牧羊犬) requires food, training, warmth, and doesn’t collect data for us,” he told Anchorage Daily News. There is something about Aurora that arouses a sense of fun. Maybe it is the dancing, or just the very concept of a robot chasing birds around. Whatever the case, here’s hoping that Aurora can make airports just a bit more safe for people and animals alike. 12. What can we learn from the example about collisions in Paragraph 2? A. The harm of airplane-animal collisions are not worth considering. B. The frequency of collision between animals and airplanes is high. C. The issue of airplane-animal collisions only happens in some cities. D. The discussion about the airplane-animal collisions is common. 13. What are these movements made by Aurora used for? A. Scaring away the wildlife in the airport. B. Making the wildlife more entertaining. C. Responding to the actions of wildlife. D. Interacting with the fierce predator. 14. What is the disadvantage of a real dog compared to Aurora? A. Its unaffordable price. B. Its demand for care. C. Its inaccurate data. D. Its low efficiency. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Airplane-animal Collisions Draws Widespread Attention B. The Creative Robot Makes Flight Travel Safer for People C. An Innovative Robot Keeps Airfields Clear of Wildlife D. The Issue in Many Airports Needs Urgent Response 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述的是一种新型像狗一样的机器人Aurora的引入及其在保护机场和动物安全方面的应用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to The Verge, though not often discussed, the issue of airplane-animal collisions (碰撞) at airports is not trivial. In 2023, 92 animal collisions were reported to the FAA at airports near Alaska. And that’s just Alaska.(据The Verge报道，虽然不常被讨论，但机场飞机与动物相撞的问题并非微不足道。2023年，阿拉斯加附近的机场向联邦航空局报告了92起动物碰撞事件。这还只是阿拉斯加)”可知，我们能从第二段的碰撞例子中了解到动物与飞机相撞的频率很高。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Silly as it may seem, these movements are meant to imitate the movements of predators such as foxes and wolves. Aurora can even be disguised as either a fox or a wolf, which hopefully will cause a fear response in the birds and other wildlife.(虽然看起来很傻，但这些动作是为了模仿狐狸和狼等掠食者的动作。Aurora甚至可以伪装成狐狸或狼，希望这能引起鸟类和其他野生动物的恐惧反应)”可知，Aurora的这些动作是用来吓跑机场里的野生动物的。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“A border Collie (牧羊犬) requires food, training, warmth, and doesn’t collect data for us(边境牧羊犬需要食物、训练、温暖，而且不会为我们收集数据)”可知，与Aurora相比，真狗缺点是它们需要人的照顾，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A new dog-like robot has entered the field. Created to help keep airplanes and animals safe by imitating a predator (捕食者), the Aurora, as it is known, will soon begin its important work at the Fairbanks airport in Alaska.(一种新的像狗一样的机器人已经进入这个领域。被称为Aurora的无人机是为了模仿捕食者来保护飞机和动物的安全而设计的，它将很快在阿拉斯加的费尔班克斯机场开始它的重要工作)”可知，本文主要讲述的是一种新型像狗一样的机器人Aurora的引入及其在保护机场和动物安全方面的应用，因此最好的题目是C选项“An Innovative Robot Keeps Airfields Clear of Wildlife(一个创新的机器人让机场远离野生动物)”。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Getting a good night’s sleep doesn’t just feel refreshing and energizing, it’s also essential for physical and brain health. ____16____ Here are four ways to sleep again after waking up at night.

It can be annoying to wake up in the middle of a deep sleep. If this issue persists and other strategies don’t help, one should consult a sleep expert to find the best solutions to help them relax and gain the maximum benefits of a good night’s sleep. A. Remove distractions. B. Block out the lights. C. Also, keep the cell phone and other screens off. D. In addition to breathing, one can try relaxing all the muscles. E.

One of her stories is about the school picnic. At that time, schools didn’t have a track and field day like we have now. Instead, the biggest day for them was the School Picnic Day. The School Picnic Day was usually held on the last day of school in June. On that day, kids played simple games. No one cared who won and who lost. The true winners were the children themselves bathed in the joyous atmosphere of friendship and mutual respect. Soon, before anyone knew it, the School Picnic Day would reach its climax with a grand feast at lunch time. Parents always packed picnic baskets for the kids. They filled them with as many good foods as they could afford. Lunchtime was a delightful occasion with children early sharing their baskets and exchanging treats with one another. There was one family that was very poor. They had no picnic lunch that year. When my mom noticed this from a distance, she quickly tried to figure out how to help them. She knew they would be embarrassed if she gave them something from her own lunch basket. Just then, the teacher announced there was going to be one final race before lunch. It would be the sack race, in which two people get inside a sack and hop as fast as they can to the finish line. The winner would receive a special lunch basket prepared by the teachers. My mom wanted to enter this race. She waited until she saw Mary, the oldest sister of the family, get up. She asked Mary if she could be her partner, and Mary agreed. My mom had never been good at races, but as she put her legs into that sack with Mary, she told herself, “You can do it. You have to win!” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The teacher yelled, “Ready. Set. Go!” and the race was on. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, Mary came and thanked my mom for being her partner. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The teacher yelled, “Ready. Set. Go!” and the race was on. The trick with the sack race lies in the physical ability to maintain balance to keep from falling down. If you can keep standing, hopping and moving forward, you have a good chance to win. Most kids usually fall down right away, but this time my mom hopped in time with Mary. They pulled out in front and never looked back. They performed in perfect harmony as if they had rehearsed the race a thousand times. Their classmates were cheering. As they crossed the finish line, the crowds erupted into thunderous applause, shouting words of admiration. Later, Mary came and thanked my mom for being her partner. Her eyes sparkled with excitement and joy. She said that her family really enjoyed the special picnic lunch. Then, in a gesture of profound appreciation, Mary handed my mom a sandwich. The two girls sat together in the warm sun, eating the last two sandwiches merrily. According to Mom, it was the best school picnic in the whole world. The picnic stood out as the most memorable and meaningful experience, symbolizing the power of kindness and bonds between friends. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，在学校的野餐日，孩子们在那天通过简单的游戏增进友谊和相互尊重的欢乐氛围，有一个贫穷家庭无法参与野餐，作者的妈妈注意到了，决定采取行动，作者的妈妈巧妙地利用了麻袋赛跑这个比赛的机会。她主动邀请了这个家庭中的姐姐玛丽作为她的搭档，参加了这场比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老师大喊：“预备，开始！”于是比赛开始了。”可知，第一段可描写麻袋赛跑比赛过程和观众的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来，玛丽过来感谢我妈妈成为她的搭档。”可知，第二段可描写玛丽对作者妈妈的感激之情、她们之间的友谊以及这次野餐对她们的意义。 2.续写线索：比赛的诀窍——作者妈妈和玛丽表现很好——同学们欢呼——妈妈和玛丽冲过终点——同学们鼓掌——作者妈妈和玛丽野餐——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①在于：lie in/consist in ②欢呼：cheer/acclaim ③递：hand/pass 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] They performed in perfect harmony as if they had rehearsed the race a thousand times.

Scarborough, by Catherine Hernandez Catherine Hernandez’s multi-award winning novel shines the spotlight on Scarborough, a diverse neighbourhood that includes areas struggling with poverty and neglect.

B China’s newly-released TV show To the Wonder has made Altay (阿勒泰) in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region a new stylish and top-tier tourism destination among young people, who are attracted by the breathtaking views and the simple and heartwarming lives of the local residents. The travel portal (门户网站) Qunar said that from May 7 — the day the TV show began its commercial airing, flight ticket bookings to Altay rose 20 percent compared with the same period in the previous month, and hotel bookings doubled during the period on its platform. Homestay operating and booking platform Tujia said that bookings for homestays in Altay had surged by 200 percent from May 9 to Wednesday, compared with the same period in April. Altay enjoys great advantages in developing tourism, including its breathtaking grassland and lake views, and original and well-preserved villages. The place is also a popular skiing destination in winter. Wei Changren, founder of btiii. com, a tourism-related financial news portal, said that Altay has not become famous overnight, but has long been a destination well-known for its natural beauty. However, it hasn’t been very popular because of long travel times and higher costs of accommodation. Though Altay still lacks the capability to receive large numbers of travelers, Wei believes that the development of its tourism sector enjoys great prospects. “Altay has different charms in summer and winter, and these distinct seasonal views are attractive to travelers. From my perspective, authorities in Altay can take the hit show as an opportunity and continue developing good tourism and cultural resources to attract travelers. The local tourism infrastructure can also be improved to enhance visitors’ experiences,” he added. It’s not the first time in recent years that a teleplay has helped turn its location into a popular tourism destination. In January 2023, the TV drama Meet Yourself, starring Liu Yifei and Li Xian, made Dali a trendy tourism destination. 4. How does the writer indicate the booming tourism in Altay in Paragraph 2? A. By analyzing causes. B. By presenting research. C. By giving specific examples. D. By listing and comparing figures. 5. What does Wei think of the tourism development in Altay? A. Promising. B. Depressed. C. Steady. D. Outdated. 6. What does the underlined word “hit” in the fifth paragraph mean? A. A heated discussion. B. A classic masterpiece. C. A well-received work. D. A controversial TV drama. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The impact of a new TV drama on tourism. B. The prosperous tourism and cultural resources. C. The improvement of local tourism infrastructure. D. The distinct charms of Altay in different seasons. C The art of writing by hand has a honorable history. From Emily Dickinson’s elegant cursive, to Stephen King’s neat block lettering, many of the most famous and important works of literature have been written by hand. Studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous benefits in terms of memory, brain development, and even the quality of the writing itself. Some say that handwriting has become a dying art since the arrival of the typewriter in the mid 1880s, even more so due to computers. However, despite the sense that writing on paper is out of date, it actually has a number of very important benefits. Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory, it is also important for cognitive (认知的) development. In learning to write by hand, the human brain must integrate sensation, movement control, and thinking. For whatever reason, it does not do so when learning to type. A 2021 study by the University of Tokyo shows that writing on paper could help students recall material better than typing on a keyboard. Likewise, a 2014 study from the Association for Psychological Science shows that taking notes on a laptop as opposed to writing them longhand (普通书写), leads to shallower processing of the material learned. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures word by word, without processing information and rewording it in their own language. Writing by hand also helps students do better on exams. A study led by Dr. Virginia Berninger, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, suggests that children wrote longer and more complex essays when they were writing by hand, as opposed to using a keyboard. So the next time you sit down to write an email to a loved one, consider the possibility that it might be better for your brain if you wrote a handwritten letter instead. 8. Why does the author mention Emily Dickinson and Stephen King? A. To compare different writing forms. B. To highlight the the history of writing. C. To illustrate the advantages of writing. D. To introduce the famous writing works. 9. What has been shown to have significant cognitive benefits? A. Writing on paper. B. Tying on a laptop. C. Using a typewriter. D. Learning literature works. 10. What can you learn about writing and typing from Paragraph 4? A. Taking notes on laptops is favored by students. B. There is no distinct difference in processing information. C. Writing by hand helps students remember materials better. D. Taking notes on laptops contributes to deeper processing of the material. 11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of writing on paper? A. Improving memory. B. Quickening the writing speed. C. Enhancing academic performance. D. Boosting information process ability. D It’s a dog, it’s a fox, it’s a wolf… it’s a robot? A new dog-like robot has entered the field. Created to help keep airplanes and animals safe by imitating a predator (捕食者), the Aurora, as it is known, will soon begin its important work at the Fairbanks airport in Alaska. According to The Verge, though not often discussed, the issue of airplane-animal collisions (碰撞) at airports is not trivial. In 2023, 92 animal collisions were reported to the FAA at airports near Alaska. And that’s just Alaska. Trying to relieve this problem without harming wildlife requires some creative thinking. And that is where Aurora comes in. Aurora can climb rocks and stairs, and even do a little dance. Silly as it may seem, these movements are meant to imitate the movements of predators such as foxes and wolves. Aurora can even be disguised as either a fox or a wolf, which hopefully will cause a fear response in the birds and other wildlife. And yet, despite the fact that Aurora costs about $70,000, according to Ryan Marlow, Aurora’s robot handler, the robot is still preferable to a dog: “A border Collie (牧羊犬) requires food, training, warmth, and doesn’t collect data for us,” he told Anchorage Daily News. There is something about Aurora that arouses a sense of fun. Maybe it is the dancing, or just the very concept of a robot chasing birds around. Whatever the case, here’s hoping that Aurora can make airports just a bit more safe for people and animals alike. 12. What can we learn from the example about collisions in Paragraph 2? A. The harm of airplane-animal collisions are not worth considering. B. The frequency of collision between animals and airplanes is high. C. The issue of airplane-animal collisions only happens in some cities. D. The discussion about the airplane-animal collisions is common. 13. What are these movements made by Aurora used for? A. Scaring away the wildlife in the airport. B. Making the wildlife more entertaining. C. Responding to the actions of wildlife. D Interacting with the fierce predator. 14. What is the disadvantage of a real dog compared to Aurora? A. Its unaffordable price. B. Its demand for care. C. Its inaccurate data. D. Its low efficiency. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Airplane-animal Collisions Draws Widespread Attention B. The Creative Robot Makes Flight Travel Safer for People C. An Innovative Robot Keeps Airfields Clear of Wildlife D. The Issue in Many Airports Needs Urgent Response 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Getting a good night’s sleep doesn’t just feel refreshing and energizing, it’s also essential for physical and brain health. ____16____ Here are four ways to sleep again after waking up at night.

One of her stories is about the school picnic. At that time, schools didn’t have a track and field day like we have now. Instead, the biggest day for them was the School Picnic Day. The School Picnic Day was usually held on the last day of school in June. On that day, kids played simple games. No one cared who won and who lost. The true winners were the children themselves bathed in the joyous atmosphere of friendship and mutual respect. Soon, before anyone knew it, the School Picnic Day would reach its climax with a grand feast at lunch time. Parents always packed picnic baskets for the kids. They filled them with as many good foods as they could afford. Lunchtime was a delightful occasion with children early sharing their baskets and exchanging treats with one another. There was one family that was very poor. They had no picnic lunch that year. When my mom noticed this from a distance, she quickly tried to figure out how to help them. She knew they would be embarrassed if she gave them something from her own lunch basket. Just then, the teacher announced there was going to be one final race before lunch. It would be the sack race, in which two people get inside a sack and hop as fast as they can to the finish line. The winner would receive a special lunch basket prepared by the teachers. My mom wanted to enter this race. She waited until she saw Mary, the oldest sister of the family, get up. She asked Mary if she could be her partner, and Mary agreed. My mom had never been good at races, but as she put her legs into that sack with Mary, she told herself, “You can do it. You have to win!” 注意：1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The teacher yelled, “Ready. Set. Go!” and the race was on. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, Mary came and thanked my mom for being her partner. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案1-20 CBACBCCBAABACCBBBACC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
