The children were playfully swimming near their anchored boat while their father was fishing,smiling at his kids.Suddenly,Abigail got caught in the powerful current, forcing her to release the handle on the boat.Chase let go of the boat to take hold of his little sister,but he found himself caught in the current.When Steven jumped into the water to rescue his struggling children,he was also pulled in. As they all drifted farther from the boat,the desperate father pushed his son to a safer place and tried to stick with his daughter as long as he could.However,he wore himself out later,and she drifted away from him.The father had to follow his daughter.So the responsibility to save the family was now on young Chase's shoulders. Steven instructed his son to swim to the shore and find immediate help. Meanwhile,he would attempt to retrieve his little girl,who was continuously being pulled farther from his reach. Chase did as he was told.The young boy was swimming against the current, which made it more difficult to swim toward the shore.However,the young boy continued to swim with one thought in mind:to save his family.Chase swam as fast as he could to reach the riverbank.When he grew tired,Chase cleverly floated on his back;at times,he paddled to conserve his energy.Once.he-reached the shore,he raced to the closest house he could find,knocked on the door and screamed for help.The owners answered and immediately dialed 911. The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded quickly.They located the empty boat.In the water,they found kids'shoes,a cellphone and fishing poles floating near the boat.After a 90-minute search,the search crew located the father and the daughter in the water,who had been swept a mile and a half from their abandoned boat. 24.What can we know from paragraph 1?

C Sharing a bed with a pet at night is a common feature of nighttime routines in the United States.According to a 2021--2022 survey,43 percent of pet dogs in the United States and 49 percent of pet cats sleep on their owner's bed.When it comes to the perks of sharing your bed with your favourite furry friend,however,experts are divided. First,it's worth noting that the majority of research on the topic of co-sleeping with pets has focused on dogs rather than cats.Mark Fierstein,an internal medicine specialist at NYU Langone Health in New York City,suggests this is because cats may want to play or even purposely wake up their owner.Rabbits or hamsters are also out of the question. A benefit of sleeping with pets is that the practice may prevent loneliness, Fierstein says."Often,people who co sleep with pets report an increased sense of security,companionship,and relaxation,"he notes."For some people,the dog s warmth,steady heartbeat,and protective nature can make sleeping with them feel safe and cozy."This may be especially true of people who are managing trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).Leslie Sinn,a psychologist,says according to a survey,60%of PTSD suffers feel calm down if they wake up to see the presence of the dog. Some research suggests co-sleeping with pets may increase mid night awakenings for people."If the owner is a light sleeper,he or she may not do well with a dog or cat in the bedroom,"notes Fierstein.For example,he points out that a dog who snores loudly is not an ideal sleeping mate. Dogs may also show aggressive behaviour-such as biting.Allowing pets in the bedroom can also expose owners to potential allergens,like pet hair,as well as viruses that cause disease. 28.Which word can replace the underlined word "perks"in the first paragraph? A.disadvantages B.numbers C.possibility D.bonus 29.According to the text,who might be the most suitable one to sleep with a dog? A.A newborn baby B.A survivor of an earthquake 3 藏国全 44 C.An old man with a heart disease D.A young man suffering from lack of sleep 30.Which one is NOT the benefit to sleep with a pet? A.To relieve post-traumatic stress disorder B.To prevent loneliness C.To get a sense of security D.To avoid potential allergens 31.What is the author's attitude towards sleeping with pets? A.Objective B.Skeptical C.Ambiguous D.Approving D Now,a new trial finds antiviral medications,when given soon after a child is diagnosed with type1 diabetes(w糖尿病)，might help preserve those vital beta(B) cells. Antiviral drugs could be "used alone,or as part of combination treatment,to rescue insulin(胰岛素)producing beta cells at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes,.”said a team that presented their findings at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes,in Hamburg.So-called beta cells in the pancreas()can generate insulin.But in some cases,an uncontrolled auto-immune response causes the body to attack its own beta cells,ruining a child's capacity to produce insulin and causc type 1 diabetes.So people with type 1 diabetes rely on insulin injections to maintain healthy blood sugar levels the rest of their lives. The researchers have been investigating the root causes of the autoimmune "malfunction'behind beta cell destruction for years,and they discovered that low- grade infections with common germs often occur in the pancreatic cells of people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.So what if these people were given antivirals- -in this case,pleconaril and ribavirin-to rid the pancreas of these infections? The new trial,led by Dr.Mynarek,sought to answer that question.The team followed 96 children aged 6 to 15 who were all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the study.The children were randomly selected to receive either the two antiviral medicines or a placebo(无效对照剂)for six months.Mynarek's group tracked C-peptides levels in the blood,which"mirror the insulin production in the pancreas," implying that the higher a child's C-peptide levels on tests,the better their pancreas was producing insulin.According to their findings,while C-peptide levels dropped a full 24%in children who received the placebo,it fell by just 11%in those who got the antivirals.That suggests the treatment helped protect the child s pancreatic beta cells from destruction. The researchers concluded that "further studies should be done to evaluate whether antiviral treatment could delay the progression of beta-cell damage leading to clinical type 1 diabetes. 32.What's the function of beta cells? A.To attack the viruses B.To produce insulin C.To cause diabetes D.To absorb drugs 33.How does the new drug work for diabetes? 影国扫福全能王 4 A.To kill the germs infecting our pancreas B.To inject insulin to our body. C.To help create more beta cells. D.To prevent common germs from attacks. 34.What does the trial find according to Mynarek's group? A.There was no obvious difference between the two groups. B.The kids given a placebo show a higher C-peptide levels than others. C.The kids given antiviral medicines produce more insulin than others. D.The kids taking a placebo produce more insulin than others. 35.Which is the best title of the text? A.The root cause of diabetes has been found. B.Beta cells could be preserved by insulin. C.Autoimmune response could cause body diabetes D.Antiviral medicines could help ease Type I diabetes. 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。 The Power of“Like Like it or love it,social media is a major part of life.Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online.And most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family.Clicking on a thumbs-up is an easy way to stay in touch. 36 Clicking "like"on a post can increase the number of people who see it.If other people have liked a post,new viewers will be more likely to like it too.37 As a result,that popularity can feed on itself. iWhat's more,viewing one's own posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in their brains.Positive responses to teens'own photos (in the form of many likes")tell them that their friends appreciate the material they're posting.38 Seeing someone else's popular photo,however,doesn't necessarily turn it on. 39 In one 2011 study,teens doing driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around,which suggested that teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval.And they make similar changes when using social media according to a research conducted last year.The research showed that popular photos might signal to teens that what's in those photos is socially acceptable. For example,images related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink.That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like,but even what they do. Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know.However, posts may exaggerate (how well our friends and others are feeling,making them appear much happier than we are.40 ③扫播全能王 5 A.It can also lower the vicwer's self-control.

E.Their brains respond to those"likes"by turning on the reward center. F.And that can.inappropriately,make us feel less successful than them G.But thosc"likes"can have power that gocs beyond a simple connection. 三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A four-year-old child in Newberry County had last been seen at about 3:00 p.m., but she was missing later in the day.The situation took a 41 turn around 6:00 p.m.when a hunter in the area heard the cries of the missing child.Reacting immediately,the hunter 42 an emergency call telling authorities the child's location.The operators 43 immediately,applying advanced mapping technology to locate the position.This crucial information was then 44 sent to the related Law Enforcement Division and the county's first 45.

Tina got a glass of orange juice,went into the conservatory(玻璃房)and sat down in her favourite chair.The garden was still in the dark afternoon.On one side, her mum's garden was neat and tidy with boring short grass,boring straight flowerbeds and boring straight paths.But on the other side,Tina's Nature Garden looked wild and exciting with big dead sunflowers and tall grasses. "Nobody is interested in me.Mum and dad only think about their work,"she thought sadly. Then she recalled:One month earlier,she learned in a magazine that many dogs were abandoned because their owners got bored with them.One hour earlier,she saw a cute dog waggling (its tail and licking (her friend's face.
