B Zhu Zhiwen, in his 30s,has been on the road, on his most recent bicycle trip since March. Zhu started this adventure, an “Olympic trip”, from Beijing and had spent several months going across the country’s vast land, including Shijiazhuang of Hebei province and Urumqi of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. “My destination is Paris, France, before the Summer Olympics on July 26, 2024,” says Zhu, who was originally from a small village in East China’s Jiangxi province. “It’s my way of celebrating the Games.” Over the past 11 years, Zhu has traveled through 45 countries and regions across four continents, covering a distance of over 90,000 kilometers. From Asia to Africa, from South America to North America, he has encountered many wonderful people and experiences, and witnessed various unique customs. People’s good will has been a highlight of his trips. “I met a small hotel owner when I was cycling in Ecuador, South America, in 2016. After I knew the owner had been to China multiple times and was a fan of the Chinese culture and food, I took the initiative to cook him a Chinese dinner. He was very happy and, in return, offered me a night of accommodation for free,” Zhu says. Yet, it hasn’t all been smooth riding. Zhu came across severe weather on his way to the Arctic in 2020.Moreover, he suffered robberies during his stay in South Africa and escaped attacks from bears and other wild animals in Canada. After the Olympic tour, Zhu says he will continue to explore the world on his bicycle and fulfill his childhood dream of touring the whole world with his feet. Being an experienced traveler, Zhu has often been asked about his understanding of travel. “I think it is to accept what is possible during travel and get pleasure from it, no matter if it is good or bad,” Zhu says. 4.

C Many of us have heard of or seen My Fair Lady (1964), a classic movie starring British actress Audrey Hepburn. The film is an adaptation of Pygmalion, a comic play by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950). However, the musical version of My Fair Lady is even older, and has been entertaining audiences since 1956. In fact, a new Broadway version of the musical was nominated for 10 Tony awards. The story of Eliza Doolittle, a working-class flower seller from London, and the snobbish (势利的) Professor Higgins, who teaches her “proper English”, has never showed any signs of dying out since it was introduced. But why do people still line up around the block for tickets when a new production of the play is announced? The answer is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittle’s desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets. However, it seems that people like Higgin s are always looking down on Doolittle for not being from a fancy family. Besides Doolittle’s background, the story and the songs in the music al are also what make it so popular. Audience members are moved when Eliza and her fellow flower sellers imagine what it’d be like to live as a rich person does. This is perfectly summed up in the lyric (歌词),“Wouldn’t it be lovely?” The musical also makes people think. It doesn’t make sense that one kind of accent can be considered good and another bad. Eliza and her father speak “badly” because they were born poor, while Higgins speaks “proper English” because he was born a “gentleman”. That reflects the unfairness of class divisions — a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today. 8. The underlined word “nominated” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by _________. A. Appointed. B. Selected. C. Suggested. D. Directed. 9. Why do people like Broadway’s musical My Fair Lady? A. People can relate to Doolittle’s experiences. B. It’s considered the best adaptation of Pygmalion. C. It has won 10 Tony awards since its appearance. D. People have a good chance to learn proper English. 10. What message does My Fair Lady convey? A. People from poor families can hardly be successful. B. Women’s status has been greatly improved in the UK. C. Social class division is deeply rooted in British society. D. One’s language ability and manner are the key to success. 11. What can we know about the story of the musical? A. Higgins was described as a kindhearted man. B. Eliza was born poor but fought for a better life. C. Higgins and Eliza became friends after they first met. D. Eliza finally changed Higgins` prejudice against the poor. D Sharks and their relatives are some of the most threatened vertebrates (脊椎动物) on Earth. Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans — and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute (剧烈的). The study by Simpfendorfer with his team is the result of a worldwide cooperation called the Global FinPrint project. The data analyzed include more than 20,000 hours of standardized underwater video taken at nearly 400reefs in 67 countries around the world. It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant (充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world. However, the findings of Simpfendorfer with his team include signs of hope and a clear path forward. Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined, some healthy reef shark populations remained. The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities: they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations (规定) . A country that lacks the resources to feed its people is less able to sustainably manage and protect its biodiversity. The most unexpected result of the study is that a decline or complete loss of shark species in one reef was not always associated with similar changes in nearby reefs. They found that one reef can be over fished so badly that a once-common reef shark species is totally gone, but another reef a short distance away can have healthy populations of that same species. It is likely that healthy population s can eventually help repopulate nearby areas. The problem is clear — animals that provide ecosystem services that are vital for human food security and livelihoods are disappearing at an alarming rate. The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans. But apparently, the findings have shown a way. If the threat that led to population decline are resolved, then these important and threatened animals may recover. 12. Why is Simpfendorfer with his team mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the result of global cooperation. B. To state the urgency of protecting the ocean. C. To show the severe condition of certain sharks. D. To present the figures of their contributions to sharks. 13. Why could healthy reef shark population s remain in some areas? A. Citizens there had a stronger environmental awareness. B. Science and economics were improving fast in such areas. C. The waters in these areas were suitable for sharks to live in. D. These areas took stricter measures to protect natural resources. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. Changes in reefs lead to loss of shark species. B. Humans and animals co-exist in ecosystem. C. It’s not clear whether humans cause damage to biodiversity. D. The declined shark species have nothing to do with overfishing. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. Acute Decline of reef sharks. B. Potential recovery of reef sharks. C Global cooperation of saving sharks. D. Amazing discovery of Coral reefs. 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。 In an increasingly busy world, finding moments of peace is more important than ever.

The film is an adaptation of Pygmalion, a comic play by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950). However, the musical version of My Fair Lady is even older, and has been entertaining audiences since 1956. In fact, a new Broadway version of the musical was nominated for 10 Tony awards. The story of Eliza Doolittle, a working-class flower seller from London, and the snobbish (势利的) Professor Higgins, who teaches her “proper English”, has never showed any signs of dying out since it was introduced. But why do people still line up around the block for tickets when a new production of the play is announced? The answer is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittle’s desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets. However, it seems that people like Higgin s are always looking down on Doolittle for not being from a fancy family. Besides Doolittle’s background, the story and the songs in the music al are also what make it so popular. Audience members are moved when Eliza and her fellow flower sellers imagine what it’d be like to live as a rich person does. This is perfectly summed up in the lyric (歌词),“Wouldn’t it be lovely?” The musical also makes people think. It doesn’t make sense that one kind of accent can be considered good and another bad. Eliza and her father speak “badly” because they were born poor, while Higgins speaks “proper English” because he was born a “gentleman”. That reflects the unfairness of class divisions — a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today. 8. The underlined word “nominated” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by _________. A. Appointed. B. Selected. C. Suggested. D. Directed. 9. Why do people like Broadway’s musical My Fair Lady? A. People can relate to Doolittle’s experiences. B. It’s considered the best adaptation of Pygmalion. C. It has won 10 Tony awards since its appearance. D. People have a good chance to learn proper English. 10. What message does My Fair Lady convey? A. People from poor families can hardly be successful. B. Women’s status has been greatly improved in the UK. C. Social class division is deeply rooted in British society. D. One’s language ability and manner are the key to success. 11. What can we know about the story of the musical? A. Higgins was described as a kindhearted man. B. Eliza was born poor but fought for a better life. C. Higgins and Eliza became friends after they first met. D. Eliza finally changed Higgins` prejudice against the poor. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了广受观众喜欢的音乐剧《窈窕淑女》，分析了人们喜爱它的原因。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“However, the musical version of My Fair Lady is even older, and has been entertaining audiences since 1956.(然而，《窈窕淑女》音乐版年龄更大，自1956年以来一直在娱乐观众)”，因此推断这部音乐剧很受观众欢迎，划线句句意“事实上，这部音乐剧的一个新百老汇版本获得了10项托尼奖的nominated。”说明这部音乐剧的成功，获得了许多奖项的提名，因此划线词词义与C项“推荐；提名”词义相近。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The answer is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittle’s desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets.(答案很简单：这部音乐剧有一个精彩的故事。每个人都能认同杜立特希望过更满意的生活的愿望;她只是想改掉自己的口音，这样她就能在商店里找份工作，而不是在街上流浪)”可推断，人们喜欢百老汇音乐剧《窈窕淑女》主要因为人们可以理解杜立特的经历。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That reflects the unfairness of class divisions — a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today.(这反映了阶级划分的不公平——一种至今仍然悲哀地存在的不公平)”可知，《窈窕淑女》传递了一种信息：社会阶级划分深植于英国社会。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Everyone can identify with Doolittle’s desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets. (每个人都能认同杜立特希望过更满意的生活的愿望；她只是想改掉自己的口音，这样她就能在商店里找份工作，而不是在街上流浪)”以及最后一段的“Eliza and her father speak “badly” because they were born poor, while Higgins speaks “proper English” because he was born a “gentleman”.(伊丽莎和她的父亲说得“不好”，因为他们出身贫寒，而希金斯说得“得体”，因为他出身“绅士”)”可知，伊丽莎生来很穷，但却在为更好的生活而奋斗。故选B。 D Sharks and their relatives are some of the most threatened vertebrates (脊椎动物) on Earth. Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans — and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute (剧烈的). The study by Simpfendorfer with his team is the result of a worldwide cooperation called the Global FinPrint project. The data analyzed include more than 20,000 hours of standardized underwater video taken at nearly 400reefs in 67 countries around the world. It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant (充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world. However, the findings of Simpfendorfer with his team include signs of hope and a clear path forward. Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined, some healthy reef shark populations remained. The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities: they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations (规定) . A country that lacks the resources to feed its people is less able to sustainably manage and protect its biodiversity. The most unexpected result of the study is that a decline or complete loss of shark species in one reef was not always associated with similar changes in nearby reefs. They found that one reef can be over fished so badly that a once-common reef shark species is totally gone, but another reef a short distance away can have healthy populations of that same species. It is likely that healthy population s can eventually help repopulate nearby areas. The problem is clear — animals that provide ecosystem services that are vital for human food security and livelihoods are disappearing at an alarming rate. The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans. But apparently, the findings have shown a way. If the threat that led to population decline are resolved, then these important and threatened animals may recover. 12. Why is Simpfendorfer with his team mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the result of global cooperation. B. To state the urgency of protecting the ocean. C. To show the severe condition of certain sharks. D. To present the figures of their contributions to sharks. 13. Why could healthy reef shark population s remain in some areas? A. Citizens there had a stronger environmental awareness. B. Science and economics were improving fast in such areas. C. The waters in these areas were suitable for sharks to live in. D. These areas took stricter measures to protect natural resources. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. Changes in reefs lead to loss of shark species. B. Humans and animals co-exist in ecosystem. C. It’s not clear whether humans cause damage to biodiversity. D. The declined shark species have nothing to do with overfishing. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. Acute Decline of reef sharks. B. Potential recovery of reef sharks. C. Global cooperation of saving sharks. D. Amazing discovery of Coral reefs. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究发现，因为人类活动对珊瑚礁的破坏，礁鲨数量的下降似乎尤为严重，但Simpfendorfer和他的团队也发现了衰退的礁鲨的恢复潜力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant (充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world.(该报告显示，世界各地曾经丰富的珊瑚礁鲨鱼物种减少了60%至73%)”可知，第二段提到Simpfendorfer和他的团队是为了引出关于珊瑚礁的研究报告，显示某些鲨鱼的严重状况。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined, some healthy reef shark populations remained. The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities: they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations (规定).( 他们的研究结果表明，尽管许多珊瑚礁的鲨鱼数量下降了，但一些健康的珊瑚礁鲨鱼数量仍然存在。鲨鱼数量更健康的珊瑚礁有一些重要的相似之处：它们往往位于自然资源管理法规更强的高收入国家的水域)”可知，由于一些地区采取了更严格的措施来保护自然资源，健康的礁鲨种群仍然存在。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans.(鲨鱼及其提供的生态系统服务的丧失是一场生态灾难，可能对人类造成重大伤害)”可知，鲨鱼及其提供的生态系统服务的丧失是一场生态灾难，会对人类造成重大伤害，可得出人类和动物在生态系统中共存。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans—and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute (剧烈的).(珊瑚礁为无数对渔业至关重要的鱼类提供了家园，因此对人类来说是一个特别重要的生态系统，而鲨鱼数量的下降似乎尤为严重)”结合文章讲述了研究发现，因为人类活动对珊瑚礁的破坏，礁鲨数量的下降似乎尤为严重，但Simpfendorfer和他的团队也发现了衰退的礁鲨的恢复潜力，B项“礁鲨的潜在恢复”能概括文章大意。故选B。 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。 In an increasingly busy world, finding moments of peace is more important than ever.

When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents， “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla.
