When the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide (水滑道), which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.
Shooting down a slide in hard hat and hi-viz vest (防护衣) or smiling broadly in cool shapes to the music, Pop soon became a social media hit. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers.
“First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it’s in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work — for example, if there are bumpy joints, which can hurt sliders — management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says.
Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O’Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast.
Pop estimates he’s tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It’s the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”
4. What motivated Guillaume Pop to make TikTok videos about waterslides?
A. His interest in lifeguarding techniques.
B. His passion for competitive swimming.
C. A suggestion from his friends to become a social media hit.
D. The loss of his lifeguard job due to poor economic conditions.
5. How did Guillaume Pop’s career change after gaining popularity on TikTok?
A. He began working as a manager at a water park.
B. He started a real-life waterslide-testing business.
C. He joined a professional swimming team in Paris.
D. He became a lifeguard at multiple pools in France.
6. Why does Guillaume Pop describe his job as“the best job in the world”?
A. He gains a high salary and job security.
B. He tests over 700 waterslides in France.
C. He gets to travel extensively to different countries.
D. He enjoys working outdoors and interacting with customers.
7. Which is a suitable title for the text?
A. Guillaume Pop: The TikTok Star of Water Parks
B. Guillaume Pop: From Lifeguard to a Traveler in Paris
C. Guillaume Pop’s Journey: From Pool Closures to Waterslide Adventures
D. Guillaume Pop’s Journey: Creating Waves in Swimming Pools
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了曾经的救生员Guillaume Pop通过制作水滑道测试的TikTok视频成为社交媒体红人,并成功转型为专业的水滑道测试员,拥有自己的业务和大量粉丝。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide, which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.(当他在巴黎附近担任救生员的游泳池因经济状况不佳而关闭时,Guillaume Pop开始在其他几乎空无一人的游泳池找活干。在一个游泳池里有一条小型水滑道,这给了这位22岁的前竞技游泳运动员一个主意:他决定制作一段TikTok视频,在视频中扮演一名“专业水滑道测试员”)”可知,由于经济状况不佳,Guillaume Pop失去了救生员的工作,这促使他制作了关于水上滑道的TikTok视频。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers.(如今,他在TikTok上有超过50万粉丝,并且拥有自己的真实生活中的水滑道测试业务。不再做救生员工作的他,现在周游全国,检查水滑道的状态,亲自体验以判断它们是否有趣,并创作搞笑视频来吸引顾客)”可知,在TikTok上走红后,他开始了一项现实生活中的滑水测试业务。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘It’s the best job in the world,’ declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. ‘I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!’(‘这是世界上最好的工作,’Pop宣称,他的视频已经获得了8000万的观看量。‘我不坐在桌子后面。我很活跃,在阳光下户外活动。我与顾客建立了积极的关系。事实上,所有的孩子都告诉我他们想成为一名水上滑道测试员!’)”可知,Guillaume Pop认为自己的工作是世界上最好的工作是因为他可以在户外活动,同时与客户建立积极的关系。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全篇,文章主要讲述了Guillaume Pop的职业生涯从救生员到成为一名水滑道测试员的过程,故C项“Guillaume Pop的旅程:从游泳池关闭到水上滑道冒险”适合作为文章的标题。故选C。
C
A recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials (千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. Libraries are also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are that you have similar interests.
And then, too, there are the books. Gen Z-ers are turning out to be big readers, especially of paper books. Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.
There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.
The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 1980s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library.
8. What does the underlined word “aesthetic” in paragraph l mean?
A. Visually appealing. B. Similarly private.
C. Spiritually relaxing. D. Economically practical.
9. Why do many young people choose to read paper books despite having smartphones?
A. Paper books are cheaper than smartphones.
B. Paper books are easier to carry around.
C. Paper books are a form of nostalgic entertainment.
D. Paper books offer a distraction-free reading experience.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of TikTok in New York.
B. A gathering attended by strangers free of charge.
C. A new reading trend integrating the old and new.
D. Historical costumes and their appeal to young readers.
11. Why does the author mention a “family reading hour” in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight her success in parenting the children.
B. To illustrate her attempt to combine personal and joint reading habits.
C. To criticize the lack of interest in performance among family members.
D To emphasize the importance of dressing formally during family activities.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Z世代和千禧一代喜欢去图书馆的原因、新的读书方式、作者的读书见解。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and—as my 11-year-old would say—‘aesthetic’. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video.”(年轻人喜欢图书馆,因为它们安全、舒适、免费,而且——正如我11岁的儿子所说——‘aesthetic’。这意味着它们在Instagram帖子或TikTok视频的背景中看起来很好。)可知,划线词aesthetic意思是“有美感的,视觉上吸引人的”。A. Visually appealing视觉上很吸引人;B. Similarly private同样私密;C. Spiritually relaxing精神放松;D. Economically practical经济实用。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.”(尽管他们口袋里有智能手机,这种有史以来最具干扰性的设备,许多人还是故意选择拿起一件15世纪的技术。他们喜欢书籍是自成一体的,需要集中注意力。)可知,许多年轻人选择阅读纸质书籍是因为纸质书籍提供了一个无干扰的阅读体验。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.”(例如,在纽约,最新的TikTok热潮是在酒吧里与陌生人一起阅读。你必须提前买票,然后大家聚在一起,安静地坐30分钟,读你带来的任何一本书。就像去图书馆的昂贵版本,除了之后你们都喝一杯,谈论书。)可知,第三段主要讲的是一种融合了旧与新的新的阅读趋势。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a ‘family reading hour’, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬).”(有一次,在雄心勃勃的育儿冲动下,我推出了“家庭阅读时间”,在此期间,我的丈夫和孩子们被迫和我一起在炉边默读。如果我们戴上大礼帽,穿上裙衬,也不会感觉更有表演感。)可知,作者提到“家庭阅读时间”是为了说明她试图将个人和共同的阅读习惯结合起来。故选B。
D
Today, poetry and science are often considered to be completely separate career paths. However, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. Similarly, the poet John Keats was also a licensed surgeon. The combination of these disciplines fell out of favor in the 1800s. Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.
“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.
Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki, participated in one of Illingworth’s workshops where she and fellow scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a common theme in their research. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do harm ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says.
That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand.
Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share.
12. What trend has been observed recently among scientists?
A. A decline in interest in poetry and science. B. A preference for traditional research methods.
C. An increase in combining science and poetry. D. A focus on historical figures like Ada Lovelace.
13. How does Sam Illingworth bridge the gap between science and the public?
A. By translating classic poetry into different languages.
B. By teaching at the University of Western Australia.
C. By advocating for more funding in geoscience research.
D. By organizing workshops and publishing a science-poetry journal.
14. How did Stephany Mazon feel about the experience of writing a haiku in the workshop?
A. It was challenging and difficult. B. It was enjoyable and straightforward.
C. It was a waste of time. D. It was too artistic for her taste.
15. What is one advantage of using poetry for science communication?
A. It simplifies complex scientific ideas for a general audience.
B. It promotes academic research in universities.
C. It replaces traditional boring science textbooks.
D It emphasizes the significance of public lectures.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最近,科学家们又重新对通过诗歌来表达他们的研究产生了兴趣,用诗歌将复杂的科学概念简化为人人都能理解的语言。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.(然而,最近,科学家们又重新对通过诗歌(如抒情诗和俳句)来表达他们的研究产生了兴趣,作为用他们的发现激励他人的另一种方式。)”可知,最近,科学与诗歌结合的现象增加了。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience , Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.(通过研讨会和一本名为consilience的新科学诗歌杂志,伊林沃思正在帮助科学家将他们的最新成果转化为诗歌,以吸引其直接科学领域以外的人的欣赏。)”可知,通过组织研讨会和出版科学诗歌杂志,Illingworth弥合了科学与公众之间的鸿沟的。故选D项。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“‘It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,’ Mazon says.(‘这很有趣,而且写这首诗出奇地容易,’Mazon说。)”可知,Stephany Mazon认为在工作坊写俳句有趣、简单。故填B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand.(科学家诗人、伦敦帝国理工学院的教育家Manjula Silva对此表示赞同,他指出诗歌将复杂的科学概念简化为人人都能理解的语言。)”可知,用诗歌进行科学传播的一个优势是它为普通读者简化了复杂的科学思想。故选A项。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom.
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。
Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. She kept her head down with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s time for me to make an apology to Landy.” Catherine thought to herself. No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti? Are you crazy?”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. “Hi, Landy. I’m sorry about the spaghetti thing.” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. “I know it hurts you. Can you forgive us?” She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Catherine一开始在班上看到同学取笑自己的同桌Landy时,没什么反应。但后来去爷爷家过感恩节,看到一只小鸡由于与其他鸡不同而被啄,联想到了自己的同桌,后来带领班上同学向同桌Landy道歉的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“这时凯瑟琳看见兰蒂独自坐在一个角落里。”可知,第一段可描写Catherine注意到同桌Landy一个人坐在角落里时的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“但是凯瑟琳不管他们说什么,直接向兰迪走去。”可知,第二段可描写Catherine带着同学向Landy道歉后,Landy与其他同学的反应。
2. 续写线索:注意到Landy——联想到Landy的处境——决定道歉——道歉——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①低着头:keep her head down/put her head down
②盯着地板:fixed on the floor/focused on the floor
③取笑:tease/laugh at
情绪类

②感动的:moved/touched

[高分句型2]From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.(运用了no matter how引导让步状语从句和that引导的同位语从句)

When the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide (水滑道), which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.
Shooting down a slide in hard hat and hi-viz vest (防护衣) or smiling broadly in cool shapes to the music, Pop soon became a social media hit. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers.
“First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it’s in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work — for example, if there are bumpy joints, which can hurt sliders — management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says.
Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O’Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast.
Pop estimates he’s tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It’s the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”
4. What motivated Guillaume Pop to make TikTok videos about waterslides?
A. His interest in lifeguarding techniques.
B. His passion for competitive swimming.
C. A suggestion from his friends to become a social media hit.
D. The loss of his lifeguard job due to poor economic conditions.
5. How did Guillaume Pop’s career change after gaining popularity on TikTok?
A. He began working as a manager at a water park.
B. He started a real-life waterslide-testing business.
C. He joined a professional swimming team in Paris.
D. He became a lifeguard at multiple pools in France.
6. Why does Guillaume Pop describe his job as“the best job in the world”?
A. He gains a high salary and job security.
B. He tests over 700 waterslides in France.
C. He gets to travel extensively to different countries.
D. He enjoys working outdoors and interacting with customers.
7. Which is a suitable title for the text?
A. Guillaume Pop: The TikTok Star of Water Parks
B. Guillaume Pop: From Lifeguard to a Traveler in Paris
C Guillaume Pop’s Journey: From Pool Closures to Waterslide Adventures
D. Guillaume Pop’s Journey: Creating Waves in Swimming Pools
C
A recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials (千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. Libraries are also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are that you have similar interests.
And then, too, there are the books. Gen Z-ers are turning out to be big readers, especially of paper books. Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.
There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.
The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 1980s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library.

Today, poetry and science are often considered to be completely separate career paths. However, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. Similarly, the poet John Keats was also a licensed surgeon. The combination of these disciplines fell out of favor in the 1800s. Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.
“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.
Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki, participated in one of Illingworth’s workshops where she and fellow scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a common theme in their research. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do harm ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says.
That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand.
Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share.
12. What trend has been observed recently among scientists?
A. A decline in interest in poetry and science. B. A preference for traditional research methods.
C. An increase in combining science and poetry. D. A focus on historical figures like Ada Lovelace.
13. How does Sam Illingworth bridge the gap between science and the public?
A. By translating classic poetry into different languages.
B. By teaching at the University of Western Australia.
C. By advocating for more funding in geoscience research.
D. By organizing workshops and publishing a science-poetry journal.
14. How did Stephany Mazon feel about the experience of writing a haiku in the workshop?
A. It was challenging and difficult. B. It was enjoyable and straightforward.
C. It was a waste of time. D. It was too artistic for her taste.
15. What is one advantage of using poetry for science communication?
A. It simplifies complex scientific ideas for a general audience.
B It promotes academic research in universities.
C. It replaces traditional boring science textbooks.
D. It emphasizes the significance of public lectures.

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。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom.
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。
Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said.
