Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in the Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too.
24. What drove the author to make tiny sculpture at the beginning?
A. His interest in insects. B. His desire to make a name.
C. His dream of setting a record. D. His awareness of wildlife protection.
25. Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process?
A. Eventful and enjoyable. B. Complex and frustrating.
C. Money-wasting but entertaining. D. Time-consuming but fulfilling.
26. How does the author deal with his autism now?
A. He receives medical treatment. B. He takes full advantage of it.
C. He regards it as the source of failure. D. He shares it and asks help from others.
27. What message does the author mainly convey through the text?
A. Great art comes at a cost of loss.
B. Minor things in life can carry weight.
C. Childhood experiences sculpt a career.
D. Hard work contributes to great achievements.
C
Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.
Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.
28. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience?
A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships.
C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.
29. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors?
A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact.
B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return.
C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts.
D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust.
30. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible.
31. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect?
A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures.
C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance.
D
At one time, our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion, pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women.
This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure (基础设施) and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year.
And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact increased emissions (排放) from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades.
Yet, no matter how well documented the link between population and climate, lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich, and with no climate impacts.
But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated.
When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. The global population is decreasing every year.
B. The benefits of an aging society are overlooked.
C The ecological environment is turning for the better.
D. The media make up misleading news about the population.
33. What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates?
A. Reduced infrastructure needs. B. Challenges in senior care services.
C. A slowdown in economic growth. D. Increased greenhouse gas emissions.
34. Why is “green” technology questioned in the text?
A. It does damage to the ecosystem. B. It is not popular around the world.
C. It is unaffordable for poor regions. D. It has little effect on reducing pollution.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Aging Societies: A Global Crisis B. The Mystery of “Green” Technology
C. The Trend of Population Growth D. Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign

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。
Why are Police Officers Called Cops?
Police officers are often referred to as cops. ____36____ Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.
General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. ____37____
Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. ____38____ And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.
____39____ And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals.
The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. ____40____
A. The term is slightly less familiar to people.
B. So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar.
C. These words define some of what a police officer does.
D. The profession of a police officer was not respected then.
E. But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate.
F. However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct.
G. Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops.

My first personal ____45____ with this genie (精灵) -in-the-bottle came one day. Amusing myself at the tool bench, I hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there was no one home to give ____46____ . Suddenly I spotted the telephone. Quickly I ran for it and ____47____ the receiver. “Information Please!” I____48____. A voice spoke into my ear. “Information.” “I hurt my finger…” The tears came readily enough now that I had a (n) ____49____.
“Isn’t your mother home?” came the question.
“Nobody’s home but me.”
“Are you bleeding?”
“No.” I replied.
“Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then _____50_____ a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.”
After that I called her for everything I asked her for help with my geography and math. She even _____51_____ me that my pet chipmunk I had caught in the park liked eating fruits and nuts.
As I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood _____52_____ never really left me; often in moments of _____53_____ I would recall the sense of security I had then. I _____54_____ how patient and _____55_____ a stranger was to have spent her time on a little boy.

After flying all night, I was tired as I arrived in Denver to hold an event on positive thinking. As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vogt asked me, “Do you know about the Make-A-Wish Foundation?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, a 17-year-old girl Amy Graham has been diagnosed as having terminal (晚期的) cancer. Doctors gave her three days. Her dying wish was to attend your lecture.”
I was shocked. I felt a combination of awe and doubt. I couldn’t believe it. I thought kids who were dying would want to go see Disneyland, or suchlike. Why would a kid with only a few days to live want to spend their final days listening to a motivational speaker? Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted…
“Here’s Amy.” Before me stood a girl wearing a bright red hat to cover her head, which was bald from all of the treatments. Her weak body was a bit bent. She said, “My two goals were to graduate from high school and to attend your lecture. My doctors didn’t believe I could do either and they didn’t think I’d have enough energy. I have to rely on my parents now.”
Tears welled in my eyes; I was choked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my throat and smiled, “Thanks for wanting to come.” We hugged, wiped our eyes and separated.
That Sunday afternoon I held the workshop that Amy and her parents attended. The audience was packed to overflowing with over a thousand attendees eager to learn, grow and become more fully human. I humbly asked the audience if they wanted to learn a healing process that might serve them for life. From the stage it appeared that everyone’s hand was raised high in the air. I taught the audience how to vigorously (用力地) rub their hands together, separate them by two inches and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them off with a partner to feel the healing energy from themselves to another, explaining that everyone had healing potential to support others.
注意:
1. 续写短文词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
At that point an idea struck me.

With a round of applause, Amy’s dad led her off the stage.

【原文】M: Hello, Elizabeth. How are you? You look a bit worried today.
W: Well there is something wrong actually. Perhaps you can give me some advice. Last night when I returned from the theater, I found that I lost my wallet.
M: Oh dear! What was in your wallet?
W: Some money, of course, my visa, all my identity cards and some photos.
M: Well, if I were you, I’d go to the police station straight away and report it.
W: Yes. I’ve already done that, and they said they’d look for it. But we’re leaving soon and I need my visa and identity card badly.
M: I think you should put an advertisement in China Daily, saying when and where you lost it.
W: But that takes too long.
M: Wait a minute! My uncle lives very close to the theater. I’ll telephone him and ask him to go there to inquire about it. You’d better have breakfast now and I’ll meet you later.
W: Oh, thank you. I hope he finds it.

It has all the things that every star’s home should have: a six-car garage, a huge basketball court, and a golf course. What makes it special is that it is also home to twenty-seven different types of animals, and there are tons of rides and games. Jackson believed that his home should be a place for kids to have fun and relax. There are also many great places for adults, including a huge ballroom, a space for music and art, and a large theater.

Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in the Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too.
24. What drove the author to make tiny sculpture at the beginning?
A. His interest in insects. B. His desire to make a name.
C. His dream of setting a record. D. His awareness of wildlife protection.
25. Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process?
A. Eventful and enjoyable. B. Complex and frustrating.
C. Money-wasting but entertaining. D. Time-consuming but fulfilling.
26. How does the author deal with his autism now?
A. He receives medical treatment. B. He takes full advantage of it.
C. He regards it as the source of failure. D. He shares it and asks help from others.
27. What message does the author mainly convey through the text?
A. Great art comes at a cost of loss.
B. Minor things in life can carry weight.
C. Childhood experiences sculpt a career.
D. Hard work contributes to great achievements.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者利用自己的自闭症来让自己变得更好的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.(我小时候在英国长大,对昆虫很着迷。为了保护它们,我开始用小块木头和树叶为蚂蚁建造房屋。)”可知,对昆虫的兴趣驱使作者在一开始制作雕塑作品。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.(我有时一天工作16个小时,不间断地工作,完成一件雕塑需要3个月的时间。)”;第三段“But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.(但它确实给了我第二次做一个更好的机会。)”以及第四段“In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.(2017年,我用一个0.078毫米乘0.053毫米的人类胎儿雕塑打破了我的记录。)”可知,作者的雕刻过程耗时但令人有成就感。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be.(在学校里,我的老师把我当作失败的例子;现在,我把我的自闭症看作是一份礼物。它促使我成为最好的自己。)”可知,作者充分利用了自己自闭症。故选B。

C
Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.
Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.
28 Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience?
A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships.
C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.
29. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors?
A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact.
B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return.
C Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts.
D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust.
30. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible.
31. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect?
A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures.
C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了本·富兰克林效应。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.(令人惊讶的是,答案是B型这种人性的怪癖被称为本·富兰克林效应。)”和第二段的“Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”(本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)在1736年担任宾夕法尼亚州议会书记员时遇到了这种现象。一个有权有势的成员不喜欢富兰克林,并威胁要让他的生活很痛苦。该怎么办?富兰克林没有用甜言蜜语来说服他,而是问他是否可以借他拥有的一本珍贵的书。这个请求改变了男人的态度,为他们的友谊铺平了道路。富兰克林的结论是:“曾经善待过你的人,会比你所善待的人更愿意为你做另一件事。”)”可推断,作者提到本杰明·富兰克林的经历为了介绍“本杰明·富兰克林效应”的起源。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable.(一些心理学家称之为认知失调。同时持有两种相互矛盾的思想是很难的。这让我们感到不舒服。)” 可知,人们倾向于喜欢寻求帮助的人是因为认知失调,即避免持有矛盾的想法带来的不适。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others.(2015年的一项研究发现,更确切地说,这是请求所传达的亲和动机。也就是说,我们人类希望与他人保持良好的关系,而实现这一目标的一种方式就是帮助他人。)”以及下文“We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.(我们喜欢成为有用的人,推而广之,我们喜欢那些给我们这样做机会的人。这是我们的基因。)”可推断,划线词所在句说明人类希望通过帮助他人来保持良好的关系,这解释了无私的行为,因此推断画线词与selfless“无私的”意思相近。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.(然而,我们对本·富兰克林效应还有很多不了解的地方。它在不同文化中都适用吗?有没有一个点,超过了这个点,请求别人帮忙会让你更不讨人喜欢,而不是更讨人喜欢?借书是一回事;向别人借车是另一回事。)”可知,作者认为本·富兰克林效应有情境限制。故选C。
D
At one time, our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion, pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women.
This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure (基础设施) and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year.
And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact, increased emissions (排放) from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades.
Yet, no matter how well documented the link between population and climate, lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich, and with no climate impacts.
But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated.
When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. The global population is decreasing every year.
B. The benefits of an aging society are overlooked.
C. The ecological environment is turning for the better.
D. The media make up misleading news about the population.
33. What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates?
A. Reduced infrastructure needs. B. Challenges in senior care services.
C. A slowdown in economic growth. D. Increased greenhouse gas emissions.
34. Why is “green” technology questioned in the text?
A. It does damage to the ecosystem. B. It is not popular around the world.
C. It is unaffordable for poor regions. D. It has little effect on reducing pollution.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Aging Societies: A Global Crisis B. The Mystery of “Green” Technology
C. The Trend of Population Growth D. Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是人口高出生率的危害以及出生率降低带来的积极影响。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges.(这是一个积极的发展,但媒体经常将其描述为“危机”,强调经济和老年人护理方面的挑战。)”以及下文中介绍的人口老龄化带来的积极影响被人们忽略的事实可知,在第二段我们了解到的是老龄化社会的好处被人们忽略。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming.(高出生率的后果是严重的。其中之一就是全球变暖。)”以及下文中介绍的高出生率导致排放量增加的情况可知,高出来率的缺点是造成温室气体排放增加。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes.(它的扩张要达到为不断增长的人口提供体面生活所需的程度,本身就需要对化石燃料(化石)进行惊人的投资。它还需要大规模的采矿作业,其中许多是在非洲的低工资工人的支持下进行的,这正在破坏对类人猿生存至关重要的热带雨林。)”可知,“绿色”技术的扩张需要对化石燃料进行大量投资,大规模的采矿作业,破坏了对类人猿生存至关重要的热带雨林,由此可知,“绿色”技术被质疑的原因是它破坏了生态环境。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段中“In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth.(事实上,出生率下降应该是值得庆祝的,因为它们标志着性别平等的进步和地球负担的减轻)”可知,本文主要讨论了出生率下降的积极意义,所以D选项“出生率下降:一个充满希望的迹象”概括全文主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。
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。
Why are Police Officers Called Cops?
Police officers are often referred to as cops. ____36____ Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.
General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. ____37____
Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. ____38____ And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.
____39____ And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals.
The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. ____40____
A. The term is slightly less familiar to people.
B. So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar.
C. These words define some of what a police officer does.
D. The profession of a police officer was not respected then.
E. But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate.
F. However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct.
G. Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops.
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. B 39. G 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了警察为什么被称为cops的由来。
【36题详解】
根据下文“Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.( 一些人认为这个词是“copper”的缩写,来自警察佩戴的铜徽章。也有人说它代表“警察总队”。)”可知,关于“cop”这个昵称的起源存在争议。因此推断E项“但这个绰号的起源却存在争议。”符合语境。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take.( 然而,关于“cop”一词起源的普遍共识表明,这个词更多地是基于警察的工作,而不是他的服装或头衔。在拉丁语中,动词capere可以被定义为“捕获”。在法语中,动词是caper。“To cop”在英语中的意思是抓住或拿走。)”可知,在不同的语言中有不同的词定义了警察的部分工作,因此推断C项“这些词定义了警察的部分工作”总结上文,these words指代前文的词汇。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets.( Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops.(一些人还认为,荷兰语kapen也可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”,与警察被称为coppers或cops有关。从本质上讲,警察的存在是为了把罪犯赶出街头。)”和下文“And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.(由于美式英语主要来源于德语、法语和拉丁语,kapen或capere的特定语言来源为“cop”一词创造了一条现成的路径。)”可知,荷兰语kapen可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”,与警察被称为coppers或cops有关,美式英语来自德语,法语和拉丁语,因此推断B项“荷兰语和法语的术语都很相似”承上启下。故选B。
【39题详解】
根据下文“And it is no longer considered rude.(它不再被认为是粗鲁的。)”可知,现在称警察为cops不粗鲁,是合适的。因此推断G项“今天,把警察称为cop是恰当的。”符合语境,下文是对此的详细解释。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop.(“cop”这个词现在被如此普遍地使用,以至于一个记录他们工作的节目被称为“Cops”。尽管J·埃德加·胡佛曾经强烈反对这个词,但现在把警察或女警察称为cop是可以的。)”可知,现在称呼a policeman或者 a police woman是最好的,与前一段是转折关系,因此推断F项“然而,“police officer”这个术语通常是最正确的”。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了印度电影产业的发展,主要依赖于与西方电影制作公司合作。
【56题详解】
考查代词。句意:因此,后者关注的是通过与西方电影制作公司建立新的合作伙伴关系来增加自己的影响力。空格处位于名词前,因此需要填入形容词性物主代词,修饰名词。故填its。
【57题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意:迄今为止,这种做法已被证明对确保该行业的增长是有益的,印度梦工厂与信实娱乐之间的成功合作便是明证。分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入谓语动词;句子的时间状语为“so far”,所以要用现在完成时,句子的主语This practice为第三人称单数,所以助动词用has,prove的过去分词为proved或者proven。故答案为has proved或者has proven。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:迄今为止,这种做法已被证明对确保该行业的增长是有益的,印度梦工厂与信实娱乐之间的成功合作便是明证。分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入非谓语动词;evidence意为“证实”;动词与逻辑主语之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词表示被动。故填evidenced。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:这两家公司在过去的7年里一直是合作伙伴,有足够的时间对这些政策的盈利能力和整体可行性做出结论。conclusion为名词,意为“结论”,可数,此处需要用复数。故填conclusions。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:梦工厂和信实娱乐合作的另一个好处是他们同意继续保持这种关系。gained from是固定搭配,表示“从……中获得”,所以需要用介词from。故填from。
【61题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:印度电影制作公司与西方电影制作人成为合作伙伴的趋势,也与该行业的整体增长及其模式有关。空格处需要填入谓语动词,此处描述的是一种趋势或者状态,所以应该使用一般现在时;主语The trend是单数,且与link之间为被动关系,所以需要使用一般现在时的被动语态,be动词用is。故填is linked。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,观众偏好的变化带来了挑战,他们越来越喜欢西方电影而不是印度电影。上句说明的是“这个国家正在经历一个持续发展的时期,发行的电影比美国多。”与本句中说明的“他们越来越喜欢西方电影而不是印度电影”为转折关系,空格处需要填入副词;however为副词,意为“然而”,句首单词首字母大写。故填However。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,观众偏好的变化带来了挑战,他们越来越喜欢西方电影而不是印度电影。空格处修饰动词favor,所以需要用副词。increasing的副词为increasingly,意为“越来越”。故填increasingly。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:因此,印度电影业的进一步发展完全取决于国内公司与西方电影人的合作能力,这将有助于推广一种吸引不同观众的产品。空格处位于名词所有格之后,因此需要填入名词capable的名词为capability,意为“能力”为不可数名词。故填capability。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:因此,印度电影业的进一步发展完全取决于国内公司与西方电影人的合作能力,这将有助于推广一种吸引不同观众的产品。空格处为非限制性定语从句的连接词,先行词为前面整个句子,且连接词在从句中作主语,所以用which。故填which。

67. 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。
After flying all night, I was tired as I arrived in Denver to hold an event on positive thinking. As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vogt asked me, “Do you know about the Make-A-Wish Foundation?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, a 17-year-old girl Amy Graham has been diagnosed as having terminal (晚期的) cancer. Doctors gave her three days. Her dying wish was to attend your lecture.”
I was shocked. I felt a combination of awe and doubt. I couldn’t believe it. I thought kids who were dying would want to go see Disneyland, or suchlike. Why would a kid with only a few days to live want to spend their final days listening to a motivational speaker? Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted…
“Here’s Amy.” Before me stood a girl wearing a bright red hat to cover her head, which was bald from all of the treatments. Her weak body was a bit bent. She said, “My two goals were to graduate from high school and to attend your lecture. My doctors didn’t believe I could do either and they didn’t think I’d have enough energy. I have to rely on my parents now.”
Tears welled in my eyes; I was choked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my throat and smiled, “Thanks for wanting to come.” We hugged, wiped our eyes and separated.
That Sunday afternoon I held the workshop that Amy and her parents attended. The audience was packed to overflowing with over a thousand attendees eager to learn, grow and become more fully human. I humbly asked the audience if they wanted to learn a healing process that might serve them for life. From the stage it appeared that everyone’s hand was raised high in the air. I taught the audience how to vigorously (用力地) rub their hands together, separate them by two inches and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them off with a partner to feel the healing energy from themselves to another, explaining that everyone had healing potential to support others.
注意:
1. 续写短文词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
At that point an idea struck me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a round of applause, Amy’s dad led her off the stage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At that point an idea struck me. I said to the audience, “This morning I was introduced to Amy Graham, a 17-year-old. I want to bring her up here and let you all send healing life energy toward her.” Supported by her father, Amy stepped onto the stage, looking frail from an absolute lack of exercise. She talked about what she was suffering from and her final wish to be at this workshop. Touched by her story, the audience spontaneously warmed up their hands and engaged in the simple exercise, after which they gave her a tearful standing ovation.
With a round of applause, Amy’s dad led her off the stage. At that moment, the workshop became more than just a lecture on positive thinking — it showed the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit. After the workshop concluded, attendees lingered, sharing stories and exchanging contact information. Many approached Amy and her parents, offering words of encouragement. It was clear that something extraordinary had taken place — a blend of hope, belief, and the courage to confront adversity with positivity. Before leaving, Amy thanked me for the unexpected invitation, which was a real bonus for her and gave her the healing power beyond physical remedies.
