These beautiful reading spots rank among the top 10 of the world’s 50 best libraries and are the inhabitants of your favorite fictional world.
Women’s Library, Glasgow
Rows of books on women’s issues throughout history line the shelves of the only official museum in the UK dedicated to women’s lives, histories and achievements.

Its key aim is to support women, with services teaching literacy, calculations, and handling a range of issues which include poverty, and surviving violence.
Sir Duncan Rice Library, Aberdeen
The outside of the modern facility is a huge glass structure made of 760 glass panels and 2.200 tons of steel.

Wellcome Reading Room, London

With drawing classes and static artistic displays accompanying rows of educational books, it’s an enjoyable spot to visit and revisit.

The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.
That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around a common goal.
I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.
4. Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma?
A. Because the mountain was overcrowded.
B. Because his original climbing goal changed.
C. Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry.
D. Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.
5. What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later?
A. The influence of Thom Pollard.
B. The results of the previous climbing.
C. The development of advanced equipment.
D. The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.
6. What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Relieved my tiredness. B. Showed my respect.
C. Expressed my gratitude. D. Proved my determination.
7. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. The search for missing adventurers holds great value.
B. Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment.
C. Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect.
D Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma.
C
A strange sound called “biotwang” was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Trench 10 years ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from.
Recorded by microphones deep in the ocean, the unexplained sound — a low, loud moan (哼声) followed by a mechanical echo, like a frog burping (打嗝) in space — thundered through a computer speaker about a decade ago. Confused researchers called it the “biotwang”.
“You’ve got this low-frequency portion, like a moan,” says Lauren Harrell, a data scientist at Google Research’s AI for Social Good, adding her own impression of a hearty sigh. “Then you have the higher-frequency component that sounds, to me, like an outer planet spacecraft — the ‘bip boo, bip boo’ sound.”
Confirming which marine animal makes a strange noise isn’t easy, though: it requires a person on a boat to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. “It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a fair amount of luck,” Allen says.
An international team headed by Allen, marine biologist from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Harrell conducted a collaborative research in 2020. While surveying whales off the Mariana Islands, Allen and other researchers saw a mysterious species called the Bryde’s whale 10 times. These whales are spread out far across the huge open ocean, so it’s hard for scientists to observe or study them. On nine of the occasions that Bryde’s whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang. “Once, it’s a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance. Nine times, it’s definitely a Bryde’s whale.”
After identifying the source, they reviewed years of audio data from underwater hydrophones to find out where this specific whale sound had previously been heard. “Once scientists know where and when these whales travel,” Harrell says, “AI models could connect that data to climate and environmental factors and thus support protection efforts.”
The technology isn’t perfect, though. “These algorithms (算法) can only search for a frequency they know,” says Harrell. “The Bryde’s whale vocalizations change over time and between populations. But because the tools are open-source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale language. We seem to be so disconnected from, or simply have no access to this amazing underwater world of sound,” he says. “I think it’s about time that we change that.”
8. Why is it difficult to identify the source of biotwang?
A. Because years of audio data need to be analyzed.
B. Because enough time and a right moment are a must.
C. Because researchers lack a knowledge of marine animals.
D. Because biotwang alternates with low and high frequency
9. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Who solved the biotwang mystery.
B. When the Bryde’s whale usually appeared.
C. How the source of biotwang was determined.
D. Why the Bryde’s whale was difficult to observe.
10 What is Harrell’s attitude toward their team’s discovery?
A. Ambiguous. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Disapproving.
11. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. Mystery of Biotwang Finally Solved
B. AI Algorithms Applied in Biotwang Research
C. Singer of the Deep Ocean — Bryde’s Whale
D. Protection of the Deep Ocean — A Long Way to Go
D
“It won’t forgive your mistakes,” wrote Valentin Lebedev, an astronaut, in his diary. “Even eating becomes more complicated. You must be careful and rely on sealed containers and specialized utensils to open packages. Spills can be dangerous as food particles or liquids might float into equipment or get into your eyes or nose.” Enough to say the anxiety of an altogether different order in zero gravity.
What’s worse, in space, no one can hear you scream about travel delays. When will I get back? Such is the dilemma of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two astronauts who have been stranded (被滞留的) on the International Space Station (ISS) since docking there on June 6, 2024. NASA does not like that word. As one official insisted, “I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space.”
Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams arrived at the ISS aboard the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner. What was meant to be an eight-day stay is approaching the three-month mark after their capsule leaked helium (氦) and five of its 28 engines malfunctioned. That has delayed their return, possibly until February 1, 2025. Precisely what happens now depends on whether NASA thinks Starliner is safe — tests are ongoing — or whether they are better off getting a ride home on a flight operated by Boeing’s competitor, SpaceX. A decision should come soon.
The next SpaceX Dragon capsule is due to dock at the ISS in September and return to Earth next year. If it is to make room for Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams, it will go up with two crew members instead of its usual four. That would require Starliner to leave the ISS uncrewed. Boeing says this is not currently possible owing to software issues.
As it is, the engineering fault is a shame for Boeing and NASA. If crewed Starliner flights are unworkable, that will put paid to NASA’s ambition for competition in the task of ferrying astronauts to the space station and back to Earth. Now SpaceX looks like the only American game in town capable of getting to and from the ISS.
Having a mission prolonged unexpectedly, which sometimes happens, means missing out on changes big and small. Sergei Krikalev spent five extra months on the Mir space station when earthlings got distracted by the breaking up of the Soviet Union. He came back to a whole new world in 1992.
12. Which of the following best describes Valentin’s feeling in the diary?
A. Amused but fragile. B. Uncomfortable and tense.
C. Disturbed but magical. D. Restless and tolerant.
13. When did Starliner plan to return at first?
A. June 6, 2024. B. June 14, 2024.
C. September 6, 2024. D. February 1, 2025.
14. What do we know about NASA according to the text?
A. It should have made massive investment for Starliner.
B. It prefers cooperation with Space X instead of Boeing.
C. It is giving a test to fix gas leak and an engineering fault.
D. It denied the delayed flight in protection of its reputation.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. A stranded flight caused Soviet Union to break up.
B. What’s in store for Butch and Suni remains to be seen.
C. Astronauts will see a whole new world when they return.
D. Soviet Union’s spacecraft technology was no better than NASA’s.

·Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). ____19____ For example, when are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?
·Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.
·____20____ Never forget that while you might be trying to fit in, you should never try to be anybody but yourself.
A. Don’t over-think people or situation.
B. Don’t charge into friendships, though.
C. Start noticing your patterns of mentality.
D. If I was asked a question, panic would set in.
E. The only person making you feel like an outsider is you.

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。
Sally’s birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, sensing Sally’s sadness, her best friend Jane approached and asked, “What’s up? You look down today.” “Nothing serious,” murmured Sally. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jane asked. “No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
Sally smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Maria, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Maria. “What did she say?” Sally asked. However, Maria simply shrugged and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
“What is happening?” Sally wondered anxiously. “Are they keeping something from me?”As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. “Jane has never kept secrets from me before,” Sally thought. Her heart sank. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding?
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On her birthday, Sally went to school as usual but what she saw totally confused her.

With the light suddenly on, a touching scene unfolded and the secret was finally revealed.

B
The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.
That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around a common goal.
I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.
4. Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma?
A. Because the mountain was overcrowded.
B. Because his original climbing goal changed.
C. Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry.
D. Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.
5. What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later?
A. The influence of Thom Pollard.
B. The results of the previous climbing.
C. The development of advanced equipment.
D. The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.
6. What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Relieved my tiredness. B. Showed my respect.
C. Expressed my gratitude. D. Proved my determination.
7. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. The search for missing adventurers holds great value.
B. Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment.
C Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect.
D. Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇记叙文。叙述了作者从对攀登珠穆朗玛峰的态度从厌恶转向重新考虑这座山及其攀登精神的变化过程。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry.Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested. (攀登珠穆朗玛峰的想法令我厌恶。这座山成了我热爱和尊敬的攀岩运动的对立面。曾经的最终登山目标变成了商业导游业的焦点。这些年来,大本营的人越来越多,留下了成吨的垃圾。每当有人问我是否会攀登珠穆朗玛峰,我的回答总是一样的:不感兴趣)”可知,作者不喜欢攀登珠穆朗玛峰,是因为攀登这座山成为了一个商业活动,导致了营地人满为患、垃圾成堆,由此可推断出作者反感珠穆朗玛峰的原因是攀登活动被利益驱动所主导。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession with one of the greatest mysteries.(如果不是因为老朋友Mt. Qomolangma 和他对最大谜团之一的痴迷,我个人的珠穆朗玛峰故事可能就此结束了)”以及第三段“Pollard’s story moved me. (Pollard的故事感动了我)”可知,是Thom Pollard的坚持和故事激励了作者去攀爬珠穆朗玛峰。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. (我不断地tipped my hat,不仅是对Mallory和Irvine,也是对任何有动力推动自己走上这条路的人)”可知,作者在攀登的过程中向那些有勇气攀登的人表达敬意,推断出“tipped my hat”意为“表示敬意”。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.”(我去珠穆朗玛峰寻找欧文。但最后,我发现了更难得到的东西:欧文和马洛里共有的精神。它隐藏在人们的视线中,就在它一直存在的地方:在那些冒着巨大风险追随传奇冒险家的脚步攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇敢的灵魂里。)可知,文章传达的信息主要是珠穆朗玛峰攀登者的精神值得尊敬。故选C。
C
A strange sound called “biotwang” was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Trench 10 years ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from.
Recorded by microphones deep in the ocean, the unexplained sound — a low, loud moan (哼声) followed by a mechanical echo, like a frog burping (打嗝) in space — thundered through a computer speaker about a decade ago. Confused researchers called it the “biotwang”.
“You’ve got this low-frequency portion, like a moan,” says Lauren Harrell, a data scientist at Google Research’s AI for Social Good, adding her own impression of a hearty sigh. “Then you have the higher-frequency component that sounds, to me, like an outer planet spacecraft — the ‘bip boo, bip boo’ sound.”
Confirming which marine animal makes a strange noise isn’t easy, though: it requires a person on a boat to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. “It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a fair amount of luck,” Allen says.
An international team headed by Allen, marine biologist from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Harrell conducted a collaborative research in 2020. While surveying whales off the Mariana Islands, Allen and other researchers saw a mysterious species called the Bryde’s whale 10 times. These whales are spread out far across the huge open ocean, so it’s hard for scientists to observe or study them. On nine of the occasions that Bryde’s whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang. “Once, it’s a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance. Nine times, it’s definitely a Bryde’s whale.”
After identifying the source, they reviewed years of audio data from underwater hydrophones to find out where this specific whale sound had previously been heard. “Once scientists know where and when these whales travel,” Harrell says, “AI models could connect that data to climate and environmental factors and thus support protection efforts.”
The technology isn’t perfect, though. “These algorithms (算法) can only search for a frequency they know,” says Harrell. “The Bryde’s whale vocalizations change over time and between populations. But because the tools are open-source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale language. We seem to be so disconnected from, or simply have no access to this amazing underwater world of sound,” he says. “I think it’s about time that we change that.”
8. Why is it difficult to identify the source of biotwang?
A. Because years of audio data need to be analyzed.
B. Because enough time and a right moment are a must.
C. Because researchers lack a knowledge of marine animals.
D. Because biotwang alternates with low and high frequency
9. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Who solved the biotwang mystery.
B. When the Bryde’s whale usually appeared.
C. How the source of biotwang was determined.
D. Why the Bryde’s whale was difficult to observe.
10. What is Harrell’s attitude toward their team’s discovery?
A. Ambiguous. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Disapproving.
11. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. Mystery of Biotwang Finally Solved
B. AI Algorithms Applied in Biotwang Research
C. Singer of the Deep Ocean — Bryde’s Whale
D. Protection of the Deep Ocean — A Long Way to Go
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家经过长时间的研究,终于揭开了“biotwang”这一深海神秘声音的来源。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Confirming which marine animal makes a strange noise isn’t easy, though: it requires a person on a boat to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. “It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a fair amount of luck,” Allen says.(不过,确认哪种海洋动物会发出奇怪的声音并不容易:这需要一个人在听到声音的同时,在船上看到并识别出声音的来源。“这需要很多时间,很多努力和相当多的运气,”艾伦说)”可知,很难确定生物噪音的来源是因为足够的时间和合适的时机是必须的。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“An international team headed by Allen, marine biologist from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Harrell conducted a collaborative research in 2020. While surveying whales off the Mariana Islands, Allen and other researchers saw a mysterious species called the Bryde’s whale 10 times. These whales are spread out far across the huge open ocean, so it’s hard for scientists to observe or study them. On nine of the occasions that Bryde’s whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang. “Once, it’s a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance. Nine times, it’s definitely a Bryde’s whale.”(2020年,由苏黎世瑞士联邦理工学院海洋生物学家艾伦和哈雷尔领导的国际团队进行了一项合作研究。在对马里亚纳群岛附近的鲸鱼进行调查时,艾伦和其他研究人员10次看到了一种名为布莱德鲸的神秘物种。这些鲸鱼分布在广阔的海洋中,所以科学家很难观察或研究它们。在布莱德鲸出现的9次场合中,研究人员也听到了生物鼻音。“曾经,这是一个巧合,”艾伦说。“两次是偶然。九次,肯定是布氏鲸。”)”可知,本段主要讲的是科学家是如何确定biotwang的来源的。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The technology isn’t perfect, though. “These algorithms (算法) can only search for a frequency they know,” says Harrell. “The Bryde’s whale vocalizations change over time and between populations. But because the tools are open-source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale language. We seem to be so disconnected from, or simply have no access to this amazing underwater world of sound,” he says. “I think it’s about time that we change that.”(不过,这项技术并不完美。“这些算法只能搜索它们知道的频率,”哈雷尔说。“布莱德鲸的叫声会随着时间和种群的不同而变化。但由于这些工具是开源的,其他科学家可以使用它们来发现更多关于鲸鱼语言的信息。我们似乎与这个令人惊叹的水下声音世界如此脱节,或者根本无法进入,”他说。“我认为是时候改变这种状况了。”)”可知,Harrell既看到了技术的不足,也看到了其未来的潜力,所以他对他们团队的发现持客观的态度。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A strange sound called “biotwang” was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Trench 10 years ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from.(10年前,一种被称为“biotwang”的奇怪声音首次在马里亚纳海沟附近被听到,科学家们终于弄清楚了它的来源)”结合本文主要讲的是科学家经过长时间的研究,终于揭开了“biotwang”这一深海神秘声音的来源,故A选项“Biotwang之谜终于解开”可以作为本文标题,故选A。
D
“It won’t forgive your mistakes,” wrote Valentin Lebedev, an astronaut, in his diary. “Even eating becomes more complicated. You must be careful and rely on sealed containers and specialized utensils to open packages. Spills can be dangerous as food particles or liquids might float into equipment or get into your eyes or nose.” Enough to say the anxiety of an altogether different order in zero gravity.
What’s worse, in space, no one can hear you scream about travel delays. When will I get back? Such is the dilemma of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two astronauts who have been stranded (被滞留的) on the International Space Station (ISS) since docking there on June 6, 2024. NASA does not like that word. As one official insisted, “I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space.”
Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams arrived at the ISS aboard the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner. What was meant to be an eight-day stay is approaching the three-month mark after their capsule leaked helium (氦) and five of its 28 engines malfunctioned. That has delayed their return, possibly until February 1, 2025. Precisely what happens now depends on whether NASA thinks Starliner is safe — tests are ongoing — or whether they are better off getting a ride home on a flight operated by Boeing’s competitor, SpaceX. A decision should come soon.
The next SpaceX Dragon capsule is due to dock at the ISS in September and return to Earth next year. If it is to make room for Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams, it will go up with two crew members instead of its usual four. That would require Starliner to leave the ISS uncrewed. Boeing says this is not currently possible owing to software issues.
As it is, the engineering fault is a shame for Boeing and NASA. If crewed Starliner flights are unworkable, that will put paid to NASA’s ambition for competition in the task of ferrying astronauts to the space station and back to Earth. Now SpaceX looks like the only American game in town capable of getting to and from the ISS.
Having a mission prolonged unexpectedly, which sometimes happens, means missing out on changes big and small. Sergei Krikalev spent five extra months on the Mir space station when earthlings got distracted by the breaking up of the Soviet Union. He came back to a whole new world in 1992.
12. Which of the following best describes Valentin’s feeling in the diary?
A. Amused but fragile. B. Uncomfortable and tense.
C. Disturbed but magical. D. Restless and tolerant.
13. When did Starliner plan to return at first?
A. June 6, 2024. B. June 14, 2024.
C. September 6, 2024. D. February 1, 2025.
14. What do we know about NASA according to the text?
A. It should have made massive investment for Starliner.
B. It prefers cooperation with Space X instead of Boeing.
C. It is giving a test to fix gas leak and an engineering fault.
D. It denied the delayed flight in protection of its reputation.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. A stranded flight caused Soviet Union to break up.
B. What’s in store for Butch and Suni remains to be seen.
C. Astronauts will see a whole new world when they return.
D. Soviet Union’s spacecraft technology was no better than NASA’s.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宇航员在太空中的生活挑战以及一次因技术故障导致的宇航员滞留太空的事件。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段Valentin日记中的内容“It won’t forgive your mistakes (它不会原谅你的错误)”和“Even eating becomes more complicated. You must be careful and rely on sealed containers and specialized utensils to open packages. Spills can be dangerous as food particles or liquids might float into equipment or get into your eyes or nose.(甚至吃东西也变得更加复杂。你必须小心,依靠密封的容器和专门的器具来打开包装。溢出可能是危险的,因为食物颗粒或液体可能会漂浮到设备中或进入你的眼睛或鼻子)”可知,Valentin在日记中描述了在太空中生活的不便和潜在的危险,表达了他感到的不安和紧张情绪。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Such is the dilemma of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two astronauts who have been stranded (被滞留的) on the International Space Station (ISS) since docking there on June 6, 2024.(这就是布奇·威尔莫尔和苏尼·威廉姆斯的困境,这两名宇航员自2024年6月6日与国际空间站对接以来一直被困在那里)”和第三段中“What was meant to be an eight-day stay is approaching the three-month mark after their capsule leaked helium (氦) and five of its 28 engines malfunctioned.(原本计划是八天的停留,但在他们的太空舱泄漏氦气,且28个引擎中有5个出现故障后,这一时间接近了三个月)”可知,Starliner于2024年6月6日到达国际空间站,原计划在八天后,即2024年6月14日返回。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“NASA does not like that word. As one official insisted, “I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space.”(NASA不喜欢这个词。正如一位官员所坚持的那样,“我想说清楚,布奇和苏妮并没有被困在太空中。”)”和第五段中“As it is, the engineering fault is a shame for Boeing and NASA. If crewed Starliner flights are unworkable, that will put paid to NASA’s ambition for competition in the task of ferrying astronauts to the space station and back to Earth.(事实上,工程上的错误是波音和NASA的耻辱。如果Starliner载人飞行无法实现,那将使美国宇航局在运送宇航员到空间站和返回地球的任务中竞争的雄心壮志付之一炬)”可推知,NASA官员否认宇航员被困在太空,否认了飞船延误,是为了保护其声誉。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Having a mission prolonged unexpectedly, which sometimes happens, means missing out on changes big and small. Sergei Krikalev spent five extra months on the Mir space station when earthlings got distracted by the breaking up of the Soviet Union. He came back to a whole new world in 1992.(任务意外延长,这种情况时有发生,意味着会错过大大小小的变化。当地球人被苏联解体分散注意力时,谢尔盖·克里卡列夫在和平号空间站上多呆了五个月。他在1992年回到了一个全新的世界)”可知,最后一段通过举例说明宇航员因任务延长而错过地球上的变化,暗示Butch和Suni在太空滞留期间,地球上可能发生许多他们无法预料的变化,他们的未来仍然未知。故选B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。
Always the Outsider?
One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. ____16____ I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess who was left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?
As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: No one can make you feel lower without your agreement. ____17____
These are the lessons I have learned along the way :
·Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. ____18____ It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.
·Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). ____19____ For example, when are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?
·Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.
·____20____ Never forget that while you might be trying to fit in, you should never try to be anybody but yourself.
A. Don’t over-think people or situation.
B. Don’t charge into friendships, though.
C. Start noticing your patterns of mentality.
D. If I was asked a question, panic would set in.
E. The only person making you feel like an outsider is you.
F. The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.
G. We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not alone.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了作为“局外人”的感受,作者分享了自己过去作为新成员融入新环境的困难,并提出了面对这种情况时的建议和心得。
【16题详解】
根据上文“I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough.(我担心自己不够好,不够聪明)”以及后文“I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool.(我一边挣扎着说话,一边努力让自己看起来很酷)”可知,作者担心自己不够好或不够聪明,结合后文作者会在努力表现很酷时言辞挣扎,这说明了作者被问到问题时的情况,即作者被问到问题时就会恐慌而不知怎么回答。故D选项“如果有人问我问题,我就会惊慌失措”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: No one can make you feel lower without your agreement.(在生活的许多方面,你唯一能控制的就是你的反应。我提醒自己埃莉诺·罗斯福说过的话:没有你的同意,没有人能让你感到自卑)”可知,空前引用Eleanor Roosevelt的话说明“没有人能在你不同意的情况下让你感到低人一等”,这句话强调了自我认同的重要性,即如果你觉得自己是局外人,那就只有你自己这样认为。所以选项E“唯一让你觉得自己是局外人的人就是你自己”是对前文观点的重申和总结,故E选项“唯一让你觉得自己是个局外人的人就是你自己”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“·Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you.(在任何新的地方开始,你只需要找到你的人,那些理解你的人)”以及后文“It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.(你可以花点时间想想你们是否适合对方。相信你会找到对的人)”可知,上文提到找到理解你的人,后文提到花时间看是否合适,推测本句与上文构成转折关系,指出建立友谊不要心急,故B选项“不过,不要急于建立友谊”符合语境,故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“·Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本).(·通常是我们的信念系统告诉我们,我们不适合。我们正在重播童年的故事,需要重写剧本)”以及后文“For example, when are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?(例如,你什么时候会觉得自己是一个人?你把什么恐惧投射到自己身上?)”可知,我们的信念系统常常告诉我们自己不适应环境,我们一直在重复童年的故事,需要重写剧本,也就是说,我们需要开始注意自己的思维模式。故C选项“开始注意自己的思维模式”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Never forget that while you might be trying to fit in, you should never try to be anybody but yourself.(永远不要忘记,当你试图融入社会时,你不应该试图成为任何人,除了你自己)”可知,后文强调保持自我接受的重要性,选项A“不要过度考虑他人或情况”符合作为段落开头引出段落主题的作用,并与后文“你应该永远不要试图成为除了自己以外的任何人”构成对比。故A选项“不要过度考虑他人或情况”符合语境,故选A。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了中秋节假期期间,大批游客涌向山西省的文化和历史遗址,其中部分因出现在游戏《黑神话:悟空》中而受到关注,云冈石窟和铁佛寺最受欢迎。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:其中一些建筑因出现在八月发布的游戏《黑神话:悟空》中而受到关注。分析句子可知,这是一个非限定性定语从句,先行词是the most ancient buildings,在从句中作主语,且空前有介词,因此使用关系代词which引导非限定性定语从句。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其中一些建筑因出现在八月发布的游戏《黑神话:悟空》中而受到关注。分析句子可知,句中存在谓语动词gained,这里使用非谓语动词,且逻辑主语Black Myth: Wukong与release之间为被动关系,因此使用过去分词released形式作后置定语。故填released。
【38题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:其中,云冈石窟和铁佛寺最为热门。分析句子可知,这里使用名词作表语,且be动词是are,因此这里表语使用名词复数形式hits,被最高级greatest修饰,表示最热门的地方。故填hits。
【39题详解】
考查冠词和固定搭配。句意:云冈石窟已被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》,每年吸引着络绎不绝的游客。分析句子可知,a flow of是固定搭配意为“源源不断的”,符合语境。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:据说不参观云冈石窟,行程就不算完整。根据句意可知,表示 “没有”用介词without。故填without。
【41题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:令人敬畏的是,云冈石窟是一项历经数十年雕刻,由皇室和民众共同创造的艺术成就。分析句子可知,这是一个主语从句,使用it作形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:参观铁佛寺时,我对古代人技术先进的泥塑工艺感到惊叹。分析句子可知,句中存在谓语动词was amazed,这里使用非谓语动词,且逻辑主语 I与tour之间为主动关系,因此使用现在分词touring作伴随状语。故填touring。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:参观铁佛寺时,我对古代人技术先进的泥塑工艺感到惊叹。分析句子可知,advanced是形容词,这里使用副词修饰形容词,因此使用technical的副词形式technically。故填technically。
【44题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:我给每一个栩栩如生的雕塑都拍了很多照片,要和爸爸妈妈一起分享。分析句子可知,这里表示两个并列动作存在先后发生顺序,因此使用并列连词and连接前后两句话。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和固定搭配。句意:在未来的日子里,通过最大限度地发挥《黑神话:悟空》的知名度,我们将致力于提供优质服务,确保文化旅游市场安全。分析句子可知,be committed to是固定搭配意为“致力于……”,且根据时间状语In the days to come可知,这里使用一般将来时。故填will be committed。

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Sports and Health
Our school English newspaper conducted a survey on how much time Senior 3 students spend on sports every day. The results show that only 4% of students play sports for more than 30 minutes. About 30% do it for 20 to 30 minutes, but 60% only play for less than 20 minutes. Sadly, 6% don’t do any sports. This is horrible! I think the main reason is that students are very busy with their studies and have less time for sports. But doing sports is so important for our health. Schools, I think, should encourage students to do more sports by having fun activities after school and making sure there are enough places to play.

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。
Sally’s birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, sensing Sally’s sadness, her best friend Jane approached and asked, “What’s up? You look down today.” “Nothing serious,” murmured Sally. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jane asked. “No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
Sally smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Maria, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Maria. “What did she say?” Sally asked. However, Maria simply shrugged and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
“What is happening?” Sally wondered anxiously. “Are they keeping something from me?”As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. “Jane has never kept secrets from me before,” Sally thought. Her heart sank. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding?

【答案】参考范文:
On her birthday, Sally went to school as usual but what she saw totally confused her. She found her classroom in total darkness and quietness as she stepped in. Looking back on her classmates’ strange and distant behaviors, she felt a little disappointed at the time. She reached for the light switch carefully, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence, “Surprise!” Her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places.
With the light suddenly on, a touching scene unfolded and the secret was finally revealed. Sally’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped. Tears sprang from Sally’s eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jane said. In that moment, the weight of her worries seemed to disappear, replaced by the warmth of friendship and the joy of being surrounded by people who cared.
【解析】
