We have picked new affordable places in Brooklyn, New York for $150 a room a night or less. NU Hotel There are 93 minimalist rooms at NU Hotel, each decorated individually. Free breakfast and on-site fitness centre are among its pleasantness. But it’s the location that really sets this hotel apart from its competitors. All corners of Brooklyn are within easy reach. Hungry? Walk down to Gus’s Chop House at Union Street, where every dish is delicious. Arlo Williamsburg Hotel Searching for a room with a view? Well, look no further. Many of the 126 rooms at this hotel have floor-to-ceiling windows looking out across Manhattan. There’s also a vast rooftop pool — you’ll have a hard time finding a better spot from which to survey the skyline. To explore Brooklyn, free-to-use bicycles are available on request. The Box House Hotel The 147-room Box House Hotel makes an ideal base from which to explore Brooklyn’s Greenpoint. There’s a homely feel to the accommodation here, and the decorations are anything but stuffy. This popular residential area has no shortage of food and drink options. Plus, you’re only a 10 minute walk up to the Grand Central Station. The Rockaway Hotel This beach-side property has 53 rooms. The relaxed rooftop restaurant and bar has views of both the distant Manhattan skyline and out to the Atlantic. Relax by the pool in the spa, or head to the beach where summer sun, sand and surf await you. For $4 the Jamaica Bay ferry takes you direct to Brooklyn and then into Manhattan. 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了纽约布鲁克林四个价格实惠的新酒店。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中对各酒店房间数量的描述以及The Box House Hotel标题下的“The 147-room Box House Hotel makes an ideal base from which to explore Brooklyn’s Greenpoint.(拥有147间客房的Box House Hotel是探索布鲁克林绿点区的理想基地)”可知，Box House Hotel有 147 间房，是所有酒店中房间最多的。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据NU Hotel标题下的“But it’s the location that really sets this hotel apart from its competitors. All corners of Brooklyn are within easy reach. Hungry? Walk down to Gus’s Chop House at Union Street, where every dish is delicious.(但真正让这家酒店与众不同的是它的位置。布鲁克林的各个角落都近在咫尺。饿了？步行至联合街的Gus’s Chop House，那里的每一道菜都十分美味)”可知，该酒店的地理位置便利是其优势。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Arlo Williamsburg Hotel标题下的“Many of the 126 rooms at this hotel have floor-to-ceiling windows looking out across Manhattan.(这家酒店的126间客房中，有许多都有落地窗，可以俯瞰曼哈顿)”以及The Rockaway Hotel标题下的“The relaxed rooftop restaurant and bar has views of both the distant Manhattan skyline and out to the Atlantic.(这家轻松的屋顶餐厅和酒吧可以欣赏到遥远的曼哈顿天际线和大西洋的景色)”可知，这两家酒店能让游客享受到曼哈顿的景色。故选D。 B Johnson was fascinated by nature as a child and would often go on long walks with her mother, who pointed out the names of wild flowers and trees. After beginning her writing career, she satisfied her love of animals by adopting cats and several dogs. Yet her introduction to the world of hedgehogs (刺猬) came through her own role as a mother. In 2023, her only child, Alfie, was due to begin university in Cambridge and Johnson was faced with the prospect of an empty home. “I had a friend whose son was leaving home and she was so frightened of it happening. I knew I needed to plan ahead and keep myself occupied to avoid feeling the same,” she says. “A few members of my Women’s Institute group had been volunteering with Hodmedods Hedgehog Support (HHS), and it seemed like a worthy cause. I decided to join them.” Johnson volunteered to be a hedgehog driver, ready to transport the animals in need to safety. On call throughout the week, Johnson soon found herself travelling across Norwich and hunting for hedgehogs. She picked the hedgehog up very carefully, placed it into the box and rushed it a local sanctuary (鸟兽保护区). Her duty is to rescue injured hedgehogs, ones found on private property that need rehoming, and babies that have been abandoned. A year on from her first rescue, Johnson estimates that she has completed close to 30 rescues. With birthing season around the corner, Johnson is preparing for her busiest time of the year, looking after hoglets and the new mums. “They’re not just cute but they’re also amazing animals, native to our country, that need protecting,” she says.“ Housing developments put them at risk, as well as people cutting down hedges and putting up fences they can’t travel through.” Johnson’s own garden has become a shelter for the creatures. The animals have also provided the inspiration for her writing. Her next novel, Prickly Company, tells the story of a woman who becomes passionate about creating a hedgehog highway through her neighbours’ gardens and discovers their secrets in the process. 4. Why did Johnson join Hodmedods Hedgehog Support? A. She had similar experiences. B. She was curious about wildlife. C. She was inspired by other role models. D. She needed a solution to her empty nest. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. HHS animal care and welfare. B. Johnson’s routine work with HHS. C. The gravity of hedgehog’s survival. D. The complexity of a hedgehog rescue. 6. What put hedgehogs at risk? A. Overbirthing. B. Hunting. C. Human activities. D. Non-native species. 7. Why does the author mention Prickly Company? A. To provide an example. B. To explain an innovation. C. To summarize the passage. D. To introduce the novel. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文.文章主要讲述Johnson加入Hodmedods Hedgehog Support救助刺猬的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2023, her only child, Alfie, was due to begin university in Cambridge and Johnson was faced with the prospect of an empty home. ‘I had a friend whose son was leaving home and she was so frightened of it happening. I knew I needed to plan ahead and keep myself occupied to avoid feeling the same,’ she says.(2023年，她唯一的孩子Alfie即将在剑桥上大学，Johnson即将面临着一个空荡荡的家。‘我有一个朋友，她的儿子要离开家了，她非常害怕这种事发生。我知道我需要提前计划，让自己保持忙碌，以避免同样的感觉，’她说)”可知，Johnson加入Hodmedods Hedgehog Support是因为她需要一个解决空巢问题的办法，故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Johnson volunteered to be a hedgehog driver, ready to transport the animals in need to safety. On call throughout the week, Johnson soon found herself travelling across Norwich and hunting for hedgehogs. She picked the hedgehog up very carefully, placed it into the box and rushed it a local sanctuary (鸟兽保护区). Her duty is to rescue injured hedgehogs, ones found on private property that need rehoming, and babies that have been abandoned.(Johnson自告奋勇当运送刺猬的司机，准备把这些有需要的动物送到安全的地方。整个星期，Johnson都随叫随到，很快，她就发现自己在诺里奇各地奔波，寻找刺猬。她小心翼翼地捡起刺猬，把它放进盒子里，然后把它送到了当地的鸟兽保护区。她的职责是拯救受伤的刺猬，那些在私人财产上发现的需要重新安置的刺猬，以及被遗弃的幼崽)”可知，本段是讲述Johnson在HHS的日常工作，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Housing developments put them at risk, as well as people cutting down hedges and putting up fences they can’t travel through.(住房开发使它们处于危险之中，人们还砍掉了树篱，竖起了它们无法通过的围栏)”可知，是人类活动将刺猬置于险境，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Johnson’s own garden has become a shelter for the creatures. The animals have also provided the inspiration for her writing. Her next novel, Prickly Company, tells the story of a woman who becomes passionate about creating a hedgehog highway through her neighbours’ gardens and discovers their secrets in the process.(Johnson自己的花园成了这些生物的避难所。这些动物也为她的写作提供了灵感。她的下一部小说Prickly Company讲述了一个女人热衷于在邻居的花园中修建刺猬高速公路，并在此过程中发现了它们的秘密)”可推知，文章提及Prickly Company是为了举一个例子。故选A。 C In the village of Barlaston, a strange language can be heard. It’s not the friendly Potteries dialect, but something that sounds a little like the lovechild of French and German. The concept of an easy-to-learn, universal second tongue was energetically promoted, drawing many speakers to the area. There has been an increase in people taking up Esperanto (世界语) recently. The Esperanto Association has increased the number of beginners’ courses by four-fold to keep up with demand. Esperanto was created by Zamenhof, a Jewish-Polish doctor born in 1859 in Białystok, now in Poland. Violence between different groups was common in the world. While still a child, Zamenhof hit upon the idea that a constructed second language that was easy to learn and understand would allow people to talk as peers, rather than fight. In 1887, Zamenhof published his ideas. By 1905, the fundamental rules of Esperanto had been established by a conference of speakers in France, and Esperantist groups began popping up across the world. In Esperanto, all words ending -o are nouns, an -a ending is for an adjective, while -e denotes (表示) an adverb. For instance, “vida” for visual and “vide” for visually, concepts that require different words in English. If you need to find an opposite, you can add the “mal” prefix: “pura” is clean, “malpura” is dirty. These building blocks can help speakers learn new words very quickly. There are no grammatical genders, verbs are strictly regular. It’s child’s play to learn compared with years of high-school language lessons. Why isn’t Esperanto the current go-to for international communication? Esperanto is “neutral” (中立的) because it is not a national language, but that also means it does not have a state backing its use abroad. “People having to make a choice will see English as the financially better option,” says Sammy Kennedy, a young Esperantist who helps promote Esperanto in Manchester. “However, Esperanto gives you things that English will never be able to give you.” He credits the “accepting and caring” Esperanto-speaking community with helping him to overcome loneliness. 8. What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text? A. Esperanto is gaining popularity. B. Local dialects are hard to follow. C. Beginners’ courses are profitable. D. Small villages attract more tourists. 9. Why was Esperanto initially created? A. To replace English. B. To advance medicine. C. To ease peer pressure. D. To promote world peace. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Esperanto? A. Its development. B. Its distinct features. C. Its appeal to the kids. D. Its links with English. 11. What does Kennedy say Esperanto brings to its speakers? A. A sense of belonging. B. Better financial options. C. Higher academic grades. D. A strong national identity. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了世界语（Esperanto）起源、特点以及发展现状。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the village of Barlaston, a strange language can be heard. It’s not the friendly Potteries dialect, but something that sounds a little like the lovechild of French and German. The concept of an easy-to-learn, universal second tongue was energetically promoted, drawing many speakers to the area. There has been an increase in people taking up Esperanto (世界语) recently. The Esperanto Association has increased the number of beginners’ courses by four-fold to keep up with demand.(在巴拉斯顿村，可以听到一种奇怪的语言。这不是友好的陶艺方言，而是听起来有点像法语和德语的混合体。一种易于学习的、通用的第二语言的概念被大力推广，吸引了许多发言者到该地区。最近学习世界语的人越来越多。为了满足需求，世界语协会将初学者课程的数量增加了四倍)”可知，文章开头描述了世界语越来越受欢迎的现象。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Esperanto was created by Zamenhof, a Jewish-Polish doctor born in 1859 in Białystok, now in Poland. Violence between different groups was common in the world. While still a child, Zamenhof hit upon the idea that a constructed second language that was easy to learn and understand would allow people to talk as peers, rather than fight.(世界语是由犹太裔波兰医生Zamenhof创立的，他于1859年出生于Białystok，现居波兰。不同群体之间的暴力在世界上很常见。还是个孩子的时候，Zamenhof就突然想到，一种易于学习和理解的第二语言可以让人们像同龄人一样交谈，而不是打架)”可知，世界语最初被创造出来是为了促进世界和平。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In Esperanto, all words ending -o are nouns, an -a ending is for an adjective, while -e denotes (表示) an adverb. For instance, “vida” for visual and “vide” for visually, concepts that require different words in English. If you need to find an opposite, you can add the “mal” prefix: “pura” is clean, “malpura” is dirty. These building blocks can help speakers learn new words very quickly. There are no grammatical genders, verbs are strictly regular. It’s child’s play to learn compared with years of high- school language lessons.(在世界语中，所有以-o结尾的词都是名词，以-a结尾的词是形容词，而以-e结尾的词是副词。例如，“vida”代表视觉，“vide”代表视觉，这些概念在英语中需要不同的词汇。如果你需要找到一个相反的，你可以加上“mal”前缀：“pura”是干净的，“malpura”是脏的。这些积木可以帮助说话者快速学习新单词。没有语法上的性别，动词是严格规则的。与多年的高中语言课程相比，学外语简直是小菜一碟)”可知，第三段主要告诉我们关于世界语的独特的特点。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, Esperanto gives you things that English will never be able to give you.” He credits the “accepting and caring” Esperanto-speaking community with helping him to overcome loneliness.(然而，世界语能给你英语永远无法给你的东西。”他认为说世界语的社区“包容和关怀”帮助他克服了孤独)”可知，肯尼迪说世界语给它的使用者带来了归属感。故选A。 D We are all guilty of grabbing our phones and scrolling through social media when times get boring. Psychologists have noted in numerous studies over the past decade that individuals engage in social media and other digital media to escape boredom. However, the same studies reveal that consuming such media can actually increase boredom in individuals. That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online, the endless pursuit of the next piece of media to alleviate present boredom. To investigate the role that fast- forwarding and switching videos has in boredom, Dr Katy Tam, the lead author of the research and researchers performed two experiments on about 1,200 people. In the first trial, the study participants had two viewing experiences. They both watched a 10- minute video without the option to switch or fast- forward and then had a 10- minute period where they could switch between seven 5- minute videos. In the second experiment, participants watched a 10- minute video in one round and in the other round were allowed to fast- forward or rewind through a 50- minute video. Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful. Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” Finally, said Tam, it could be worth taking your time before hitting the fast- forward or skip buttons. “Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.” 12. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2mean? A. Ease. B. Understand. C. Define. D. Justify. 13. Tam’s study found that participants reported higher levels of boredom when ______. A. the length of a video was too long. B. the video content was played repeatedly. C. they switched between videos and within video. D. they watched the same video through to the end. 14. What did Tam present in paragraph 5? A. Ways of watching videos. B. The design of his experiment. C. Examples of divided attention. D. The cause of people’s boredom. 15. What was Tam’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Pay for a viewing experience. B. Refer to the ratings before watching videos. C. Go to a cinema for an immersive experience. D. Stay focused on the content while watching videos. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了关于无聊感的研究，指出快速浏览和切换视频可能会增加无聊感，并提出了相关建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online(这种结果可能是不断地在不同的在线内容之间“切换”的产物)”以及后文“present boredom(当前的无聊)”可知，不断切换在线内容以及追求下一个媒体是为了缓解当下的无聊。故划线词意思是“缓解”。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful.(参与者预测，在两个实验中，切换或快进的选择不会让他们感到无聊，但之后他们报告说，他们发现从头到尾看一个视频更有吸引力、更满意、更有意义)”可知，Tam的研究发现，当参与者在视频之间切换和在视频内部切换时，他们的无聊程度更高。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.”(Tam说，无聊与注意力密切相关。“当我们投入程度和我们想要的投入程度之间存在差距时，我们会感到无聊，”她说。“当人们不停地切换视频时，他们对视频的参与度就会降低，他们会寻找更有趣的东西。这可能会增加无聊感。”)”可知，Tam在第5段提出了人们无聊的原因。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.”(她说：“我们的研究表明，虽然人们为了避免无聊而快进或跳过视频，但这种行为实际上会让他们感到更加无聊。就像我们花钱去电影院享受身临其境的体验一样，享受往往来自于让自己沉浸在视频中，而不是在视频中刷屏。”)”可知，Tam在最后一段的建议是看视频时要专注于内容。故选D。 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。 It’s believed that everything you need to know can be found in a book. People have always received life-guiding wisdom from certain types of non-fiction, often from “self-help” books. ____16____ A random sentence in a thriller (惊悚小说) will give you unexpected insight. There is a proud tradition of extracting (摘录) lines from poetry and songs and using them in this way. Some people argue that lines from novels and plays are dependent on what surrounds them. ____17____ I don’t buy this. It ignores the way that your brain collects, sorts and combines information. We can find meaning in everything. Today, we often over-schedule our days and complain constantly about being too busy. Books are uniquely suited to helping us change our relationship to the rhythms and habits of daily life. ____18____ They demand that we briefly put aside our work at hand and listen to someone else. You can rant against (咆哮) a book, or even throw it out the window. Still, you won’t change the words on the page. We all ask each other a lot of questions: “How did you sleep?” “Where did you go on your holidays?” But there’s one question we should ask of one another a lot more often, and that is: “What are you reading?” It isn’t a simple question when asked with genuine curiosity. ____19____ You can also learn about the person who wrote the book by assessing their writing techniques, such as ideas, word choice, style, tone, and content. ____20____ Similarly, examining the characters in books can give us a better grasp of human emotions and actions. Understanding others helps us to empathize with them, which creates a more compassionate society. A. They demand our attention. B. But they seem out of reach for most of us. C. It’s improper to grab the odd line here and there. D. It’s really a way of finding out what you are becoming. E. But actually all sorts of books can carry this kind of wisdom. F. An analysis of these aspects can reveal things about the author. G. So they spend their life collecting words and sentences from them. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了各种书籍都可以帮助读者获得指导人生的智慧。 【16题详解】 上文“People have always received life-guiding wisdom from certain types of non-fiction, often from “self-help” books. (人们总是从某些类型的非小说类书籍（通常是“自助”类书籍）中获得指导人生的智慧。)”说明人们总是从某些类型的非小说类书籍中获得指导人生的智慧，选项E“但实际上，各种各样的书都能传递这种智慧。”转折上文语义，说明各种书籍（包括小说类）也能传递这种智慧，引出下文“A random sentence in a thriller (惊悚小说) will give you unexpected insight.(惊悚小说中随便的一句话会给你意想不到的洞察力。)”说明惊悚小说就能传递这种智慧。故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文“Some people argue that lines from novels and plays are dependent on what surrounds them. (有些人认为，小说和戏剧的台词取决于周围的环境。)”和下文“I don’t buy this.(我不相信这个。)”说明作者不相信台词取决于周围的环境，选项C“到处抓奇怪的台词是不合适的。”承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 上文“Books are uniquely suited to helping us change our relationship to the rhythms and habits of daily life. (书籍是唯一适合帮助我们改变我们与日常生活节奏和习惯的关系。)”说明书籍对我们非常重要，选项A “它们需要我们的关注。”承接上文，和上文之间存在因果关系，所以我们要关注书籍。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文“But there’s one question we should ask of one another a lot more often, and that is: “What are you reading?” It isn’t a simple question when asked with genuine curiosity. (但有一个问题我们应该经常问对方，那就是：“你在读什么?”当你带着真正的好奇心问这个问题时，这可不是一个简单的问题。)”说明带着好奇心去探索所读的内容能够深入了解他人，选项D“这其实是一种了解自己正在成为什么样的人的方式。”承接上文，说明通过这样的方式可以让自己知道自己想要成为什么样的人。下文中的also也说明这样做也可以了解作者，故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“You can also learn about the person who wrote the book by assessing their writing techniques, such as ideas, word choice, style, tone, and content. (你也可以通过评估他们的写作技巧来了解作者，比如思想、用词、风格、语气和内容。)”介绍了另一种了解作者的方法，说明可以通过评估写作技巧来了解作者，选项F“对这些方面的分析可以揭示有关作者的信息。”承接上文说明分析所读内容可以了解作者的一些情况。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I came to UK from Asia with my parents when I was seven.

The impact cut through both bones and removed a big chunk (块) of my leg. I found myself hanging from a rope,1,600m off the ground, in sharp pain. I was afraid it might just drop off. After binding it to an ice- axe, my climbing partner abseiled down (缘绳下降) to get help. For two days I lay alone. My leg started to smell pretty bad. It took six days to get me off the mountain and to a hospital in northern India. The hospital was basic and the next day I was flown to Delhi for emergency surgery and then, when stable enough, back home. In the UK, after nine operations, my doctor recommended an amputation (截肢) if I wanted to be able to walk properly again. I was very sad. I had been competing in sport since I was a teenager. My physical fitness and love of running felt as if they were an inseparable part of the person I was. I visited a center specializing in prostheses and the consultant there seemed terribly enthusiastic about my prospects as an amputee, telling me I would be walking within six months and maybe even playing football after a year. I found the experience too depressing for words and was determined to put off the decision for as long as possible. Every night I had the same dream: I would be hobbling along a grassy path using my crutches (拐杖) and then, suddenly, I would lift them up and throw them in the river and I’d start walking, and then running, as if there had never been anything wrong. When I woke it would take me a few seconds to remember. 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。 I bought an exercise bike and used it for 30 minutes three times a week. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Almost 4 years after my accident, I entered a local half marathon. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I bought an exercise bike and used it for 30 minutes three times a week.

We have picked new affordable places in Brooklyn, New York for $150 a room a night or less. NU Hotel There are 93 minimalist rooms at NU Hotel, each decorated individually. Free breakfast and on-site fitness centre are among its pleasantness. But it’s the location that really sets this hotel apart from its competitors. All corners of Brooklyn are within easy reach. Hungry? Walk down to Gus’s Chop House at Union Street, where every dish is delicious. Arlo Williamsburg Hotel Searching for a room with a view? Well, look no further. Many of the 126 rooms at this hotel have floor-to-ceiling windows looking out across Manhattan.

B Johnson was fascinated by nature as a child and would often go on long walks with her mother, who pointed out the names of wild flowers and trees. After beginning her writing career, she satisfied her love of animals by adopting cats and several dogs. Yet her introduction to the world of hedgehogs (刺猬) came through her own role as a mother. In 2023, her only child, Alfie, was due to begin university in Cambridge and Johnson was faced with the prospect of an empty home. “I had a friend whose son was leaving home and she was so frightened of it happening. I knew I needed to plan ahead and keep myself occupied to avoid feeling the same,” she says. “A few members of my Women’s Institute group had been volunteering with Hodmedods Hedgehog Support (HHS), and it seemed like a worthy cause. I decided to join them.” Johnson volunteered to be a hedgehog driver, ready to transport the animals in need to safety. On call throughout the week, Johnson soon found herself travelling across Norwich and hunting for hedgehogs. She picked the hedgehog up very carefully, placed it into the box and rushed it a local sanctuary (鸟兽保护区). Her duty is to rescue injured hedgehogs, ones found on private property that need rehoming, and babies that have been abandoned. A year on from her first rescue, Johnson estimates that she has completed close to 30 rescues. With birthing season around the corner, Johnson is preparing for her busiest time of the year, looking after hoglets and the new mums. “They’re not just cute but they’re also amazing animals, native to our country, that need protecting,” she says.“ Housing developments put them at risk, as well as people cutting down hedges and putting up fences they can’t travel through.” Johnson’s own garden has become a shelter for the creatures. The animals have also provided the inspiration for her writing. Her next novel, Prickly Company, tells the story of a woman who becomes passionate about creating a hedgehog highway through her neighbours’ gardens and discovers their secrets in the process. 4. Why did Johnson join Hodmedods Hedgehog Support? A. She had similar experiences. B. She was curious about wildlife. C. She was inspired by other role models. D. She needed a solution to her empty nest. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. HHS animal care and welfare. B. Johnson’s routine work with HHS. C. The gravity of hedgehog’s survival. D. The complexity of a hedgehog rescue. 6. What put hedgehogs at risk? A. Overbirthing. B. Hunting. C. Human activities. D. Non-native species. 7. Why does the author mention Prickly Company? A. To provide an example. B. To explain an innovation. C. To summarize the passage. D. To introduce the novel. C In the village of Barlaston, a strange language can be heard. It’s not the friendly Potteries dialect, but something that sounds a little like the lovechild of French and German. The concept of an easy-to-learn, universal second tongue was energetically promoted, drawing many speakers to the area. There has been an increase in people taking up Esperanto (世界语) recently. The Esperanto Association has increased the number of beginners’ courses by four-fold to keep up with demand. Esperanto was created by Zamenhof, a Jewish-Polish doctor born in 1859 in Białystok, now in Poland. Violence between different groups was common in the world. While still a child, Zamenhof hit upon the idea that a constructed second language that was easy to learn and understand would allow people to talk as peers, rather than fight. In 1887, Zamenhof published his ideas. By 1905, the fundamental rules of Esperanto had been established by a conference of speakers in France, and Esperantist groups began popping up across the world. In Esperanto, all words ending -o are nouns, an -a ending is for an adjective, while -e denotes (表示) an adverb. For instance, “vida” for visual and “vide” for visually, concepts that require different words in English. If you need to find an opposite, you can add the “mal” prefix: “pura” is clean, “malpura” is dirty. These building blocks can help speakers learn new words very quickly. There are no grammatical genders, verbs are strictly regular. It’s child’s play to learn compared with years of high-school language lessons. Why isn’t Esperanto the current go-to for international communication? Esperanto is “neutral” (中立的) because it is not a national language, but that also means it does not have a state backing its use abroad. “People having to make a choice will see English as the financially better option,” says Sammy Kennedy, a young Esperantist who helps promote Esperanto in Manchester. “However, Esperanto gives you things that English will never be able to give you.” He credits the “accepting and caring” Esperanto-speaking community with helping him to overcome loneliness. 8. What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text? A. Esperanto is gaining popularity. B. Local dialects are hard to follow. C. Beginners’ courses are profitable. D. Small villages attract more tourists. 9. Why was Esperanto initially created? A. To replace English. B. To advance medicine. C. To ease peer pressure. D. To promote world peace. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Esperanto? A. Its development. B. Its distinct features. C. Its appeal to the kids. D. Its links with English. 11. What does Kennedy say Esperanto brings to its speakers? A. A sense of belonging. B. Better financial options. C. Higher academic grades. D. A strong national identity. D We are all guilty of grabbing our phones and scrolling through social media when times get boring. Psychologists have noted in numerous studies over the past decade that individuals engage in social media and other digital media to escape boredom. However, the same studies reveal that consuming such media can actually increase boredom in individuals. That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online, the endless pursuit of the next piece of media to alleviate present boredom. To investigate the role that fast- forwarding and switching videos has in boredom, Dr Katy Tam, the lead author of the research and researchers performed two experiments on about 1,200 people. In the first trial, the study participants had two viewing experiences. They both watched a 10- minute video without the option to switch or fast- forward and then had a 10- minute period where they could switch between seven 5- minute videos. In the second experiment, participants watched a 10- minute video in one round and in the other round were allowed to fast- forward or rewind through a 50- minute video. Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful. Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” Finally, said Tam, it could be worth taking your time before hitting the fast- forward or skip buttons. “Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.” 12. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2mean? A. Ease. B. Understand. C. Define. D. Justify. 13. Tam’s study found that participants reported higher levels of boredom when ______. A. the length of a video was too long. B. the video content was played repeatedly. C. they switched between videos and within video. D. they watched the same video through to the end. 14. What did Tam present in paragraph 5? A. Ways of watching videos. B. The design of his experiment. C. Examples of divided attention. D.

The impact cut through both bones and removed a big chunk (块) of my leg. I found myself hanging from a rope,1,600m off the ground, in sharp pain. I was afraid it might just drop off. After binding it to an ice- axe, my climbing partner abseiled down (缘绳下降) to get help. For two days I lay alone. My leg started to smell pretty bad. It took six days to get me off the mountain and to a hospital in northern India. The hospital was basic and the next day I was flown to Delhi for emergency surgery and then, when stable enough, back home. In the UK, after nine operations, my doctor recommended an amputation (截肢) if I wanted to be able to walk properly again. I was very sad. I had been competing in sport since I was a teenager. My physical fitness and love of running felt as if they were an inseparable part of the person I was. I visited a center specializing in prostheses and the consultant there seemed terribly enthusiastic about my prospects as an amputee, telling me I would be walking within six months and maybe even playing football after a year. I found the experience too depressing for words and was determined to put off the decision for as long as possible. Every night I had the same dream: I would be hobbling along a grassy path using my crutches (拐杖) and then, suddenly, I would lift them up and throw them in the river and I’d start walking, and then running, as if there had never been anything wrong. When I woke it would take me a few seconds to remember. 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。 I bought an exercise bike and used it for 30 minutes three times a week. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Almost 4 years after my accident, I entered a local half marathon. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1 - 5 ACABC6 - 10 BACBA11 - 15 CBCBA16 - 20 CACBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
