Here at Comedy Hour, it’s not just about the adults telling jokes. We also offer young people the chance to perform. But we’veyet tofind someone who can do that without preparation, so we’ve set up the world’s first Comedy Classes to teach young people how to tell jokes on stage. At the moment our classes are only monthly, but we’re planning to start a number of others over the coming year.
So what are you waiting for? Come and join Comedy Hour.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Travel WiFi is a global company with a simple mission: to keep you connected to the Internet while traveling. They do this by providing WiFi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents.
About the WiFi devices
The Pocket Travel WiFi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and the Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one mini-USB charging port. However, it’s important to note that these devices are not waterproof. When fully charged, they should last around 12 hours with fairly regular WiFi use. Additionally, the Sapphire 2 model features indicator lights displaying signal strength and battery life.
Renting VS Buying the travel WiFi device
The cost of purchasing a travel WiFi device is $89 — $109, and then you pay on top of that for data packages ($29.9 for 20 GB in a month). Most frequent travelers buy their own device for convenience.
The rental price is based on the total number of days that you’ll keep the device and how much data you want to use each day. Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1 GB, $12.9 for 2 GB to $16.9 for 3 GB. Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers.
21. What is an advantage of the travel WiFi device?
A. It is resistant to water. B. It is quick to charge.
C. It is convenient to carry. D. It is excellent in signal.
22. For a 7-day UK trip, what’s the minimum rent for a WiFi device?
A. $6.9. B. $29.9. C. $45.9. D. $48.3.
23. Who is most likely to show interest in the device?
A. A person who will travel abroad.
B A diver who is training off the coast.
C. A student who likes surfing the Internet.
D. A doctor who needs the latest information.
【答案】21. C 22. C 23. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了Travel Wifi公司的旅行wifi设备的特点、购买和租赁的价格以及使用情况。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章About the WiFi devices中的“The Pocket Travel WiFi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and the Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one mini-USB charging port. (这款袖珍Travel WiFi设备的大小和形状与小型智能手机相当。)”可知,这款Travel WiFi设备的尺寸较小,便于携带。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Renting VS Buying the travel WiFi device中的“Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers.(没有数据限制的周卡(45.9美元)也是短期旅行者的好选择。)”可知,7天英国之旅的费用为:$45.9;并根据“Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1GB (1GB每天的租金从为6.9美元起)” 可知,7天英国之旅的费用为:$6.98*7=$48.86。对比可知,7天英国之旅中,一个WiFi设备的最低租金是$45.9。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Travel WiFi is a global company with a simple mission: to keep you connected to the Internet while traveling. They do this by providing WiFi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents. (Travel WiFi是一家全球性的公司,它的使命很简单:让你在旅行时连接到互联网。他们通过提供WiFi热点设备(出租或购买)来实现这一点,这些设备可以在6个不同的大洲使用。)”可知,该设备可以在6个不同的大洲使用,将要出国旅行的人会对此感兴趣。故选A。
B
Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu District earlier this month might be surprised to catch an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”.
In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which alternately (交替地) rise up and down, imitating the human stride. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.
In recent decades, China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for grand skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of tear-down across the country. Shanghai has arguably been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “shikumen” (or “stone gate”) houses in the renovated Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou District, in what was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.
The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, whereas previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.
Citizens welcome and appreciate the efforts made by the municipal government to protect these old buildings. In their eyes, not only are the old buildings part of their memory but they also represent part of Shanghai’s history.
24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. A “walking building” can often be seen in Shanghai.
B. The 85-year-old building is called “walking machine”.
C. The 85-year-old building is the first building to be relocated.
D. Engineers relocated the building without breaking it into parts.
25. Which are excluded from the project of relocating the building?
A. Mobile supports. B. Robotic legs.
C. Attached sensors. D. Technical engineers.
26. The author shows Shanghai’s success in protecting historic buildings by ______.
A. listing figures B. giving reasons
C. making comparisons D. providing examples
27. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Many old buildings in Shanghai have been relocated.
B. Shanghai is making great efforts to preserve old buildings.
C. A 5-storey building in Shanghai “walks” to a new location.
D. Citizens in Shanghai are shocked to see buildings relocated.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,讲述了上海使用技术将一所学校完整移动到新地方,保护了历史建筑。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu District earlier this month might be surprised to catch an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”.(本月早些时候,经过上海东部黄浦区的上海居民可能会惊讶地看到一个不同寻常的景象:一座“行走”的建筑。一所拥有85年历史的小学已经全部拔地而起,并使用名为“步行机”的新技术进行了搬迁。)”可知,一所小学通过使用“步行机”技术进行平移搬迁,由此可推测出,工程师在不用拆分建筑的情况下将其迁移。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building.(在该市保护历史建筑的最新努力中,工程师们在五层楼的建筑下安装了近200个移动支架。)”和“Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.(附加的传感器有助于控制建筑物的前进方式。)”可知,搬动建筑的项目包含了技术工程师的努力、移动支架和附加传感器的使用。B项“机器腿”不在其中。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Shanghai has arguably been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “shikumen” (or “stone gate”) houses in the renovated Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou District, in what was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.(在遗产保护方面,上海可以说是中国最进步的城市。在著名的外滩区,许多20世纪30年代的建筑和经过翻新的新天地街区19世纪的“石库门”房屋的幸存,为如何赋予老建筑新的生命提供了例子。该市也有搬迁旧建筑的记录。2018年,该市搬迁了虹口区一栋有90年历史的建筑,这被认为是上海迄今为止最复杂的搬迁项目。)”可知,作者通过举例子的方式展示了上海在保护历史建筑的成功。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu District earlier this month might be surprised to catch an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”.(本月早些时候,经过上海东部黄浦区的上海居民可能会惊讶地看到一个不同寻常的景象:一座“行走”的建筑。一所拥有85年历史的小学已经全部拔地而起,并使用名为“步行机”的新技术进行了搬迁。)”可知,本文主要通过上海运用技术完整搬迁一所学校引出话题,讲述了上海在保护历史建筑方面的努力,所以C项“上海一栋5层楼的建筑“步行”到一个新的地点”最适合作本文标题。故选C。
C
Based on a study, dogs’ brains cannot distinguish words that differ by a single speech sound, such as “dig” versus “dog”, or “sit” versus “set”. This makes dogs similar to human infants, who also can’t distinguish between words with similar sounds. But around age 14 to 20 months, babies typically start to learn that every sound in a word matters (i.e. that “dog” and “dig” are different words), and this allows them to proliferate their vocabulary, the authors said.
It appears that dogs never grasp these distinctions. “Dogs might not attend to all details of speech sound when they listen to words,” study senior author Attila Andics, of the Department of Ethology at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary, said in a statement. “Further research could reveal whether this could be a reason that disables dogs from acquiring a numerous vocabulary”.
For the study, published Tuesday (Dec. 8) in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the researchers monitored the brain waves of 17 very good dogs using a technique called electroencephalography (EEG) (脑电图). The study is one of the first to use EEG on awake dogs that didn’t have any specific training. The dogs visited the lab with their owners, and once the dogs got used to the new environment, they sat down on a carpet with their owners, and the researchers attached electrodes (电极) to the dogs’ heads with tape.
The dogs’ brains could quickly discriminate the words that they knew from the words that sounded very different (“sit” vs. “bep”). But their brains seemed to make no difference between the words they knew and the words that differed by only a single speech sound (“sit” vs. “sut”). Researchers have seen a similar pattern in infants younger than 14 months.
It’s not that the dogs can’t hear the different sounds — studies have found that dogs can distinguish individual speech sounds (such as “d,” “o” and “g”). But they may have “attentional and processing biases (偏差)” that prevent them from attending to all the sounds in a word, they said. Future studies with a large number of subjects (实验对象) and more trials of words are needed to confirm the findings, they said.
28. The underlined word in Paragraph1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. change flexibly B. grasp easily
C. increase greatly D. distinguish clearly
29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly intend to tell the readers?
A. The principle applied in the experiment.
B. The real background of the experiment.
C. The whole procedure of the experiment.
D. The method employed in the experiment.
30. According to the finding, if a dog knew the word “trip”, which of the following words would it misunderstand when hearing them?
A. Tread. B. Trick. C. Shirt. D. Scrip.
31. What will the researchers do to draw a further conclusion?
A. Rid dogs of the attentional and processing biases.
B. Integrate means to make the result more scientific.
C. Test different types of dogs to avoid one-sidedness.
D. Observe more participants distinguishing more words.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了狗为什么无法区分相似发音的词。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词proliferate前文的内容“This makes dogs similar to human infants, who also can’t distinguish between words with similar sounds. But around age 14 to 20 months, babies typically start to learn that every sound in a word matters (i.e. that “dog” and “dig” are different words),(这使得狗与人类婴儿相似,他们无法区分发音相似的单词。但婴儿大约在14到20个月大的时候,通常会开始学习,单词中每个发音都很重要(如:dog和dig是不同的单词))”可知,前文提到婴儿在14到20个月大的时候,就会开始学习,每个单词的发音都很重要,因此这就使得他们的词汇量大大地提升,故此处划线词proliferate与C项“大大地增加”意思相近。故选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段首句内容“For the study, published Tuesday (Dec. 8) in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the researchers monitored the brain waves of 17 very good dogs using a technique called electroencephalography (EEG) (脑电图).(在周二(12月8日)发表在《皇家学会开放科学》杂志上的这项研究中,研究人员使用一种名为脑电图的技术检测了17只非常好的狗的脑电波。)”可知,本段介绍了研究人员使用叫做脑电图的技术来检测狗的脑电波,从而进行研究,故本段主要告诉读者实验中所使用的方法,故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“But their brains seemed to make no difference between the words they knew and the words that differed by only a single speech sound (“sit” vs. “sut”).(但是它们的大脑似乎无法区别他们知道的单词和只有一个发音不同的单词(如sit和sut))”可知,狗无法区分只有一个发音不同的单词,故与trip只有1个发音不同的单词为trick,故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Future studies with a large number of subjects (实验对象) and more trials of words are needed to confirm the findings, they said.(他们说,需要大量的受试者的研究和更多的单词实验来证实这些发现。)”可知,文章末提到需要更多的受试者和更多的单词实验来证实这些发现,故为得出进一步研究的结论,需要观察更多的狗,区别更多的单词,故选D。
D
I recently read The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, a psychologist who introduces the concept of different “zones” in life and work. These zones describe varying levels of ability and fulfillment (满足感) in our activities. The Zone of Disability involves tasks you’re not good at; the Zone of Ability includes tasks you’re capable of but find unsatisfying. The Zone of Excellence is where you stand out but might feel a little discouraged, and finally, the Zone of Genius is where your unique talents and passions shine, leading to deep fulfillment.
Curious to identify my Zone of Genius, I took a related test. To my surprise, it turns out my Zone of Genius is “Networking.” I even considered framing (装裱) the results and hanging them over the fireplace. This situation is particularly amusing, because I am often perceived as an introvert (内向的人) — some would say I tend to escape from social contacts. That makes me occasionally in low spirits and doubtful about my ability to socialize. What explains this contradiction?
Perceptions of introversion largely depend on cultural expectations, with different societies defining “introverted” and “extroverted” behaviors differently. In the United States, extroversion is often idealized. In contrast, in some East Asian cultures, such as Japan and China, value is associated with introversion. Differences also exist between Northern and Southern Europe. Research shows that the level of introversion differs widely across cultures, making it challenging to label introversion universally.
Contrary to the opinion that introverts are shy, research suggests they possess unique skills and strengths. The Harvard Grant Study shows that introverts tend to have fewer but deeper and more meaningful relationships. Another misunderstanding is that introverts do not make good leaders. However, studies show that introverted leaders can be just as effective — if not more so than the extroverts.
It’s vital to distinguish between introversion and shyness. Shyness is a fear of social judgment. However, introverts can be highly social, particularly in small groups or one-on-one conversations. Their preference for meaningful interaction over small talk makes them experts at forming deep, lasting relationships. So, the next time you meet an introvert, remember that their quiet behavior may hide a world of deep thoughts, keen insights, and powerful leadership potential.
32. If your Zone of Excellence is “English”, it may mean ________.
A. you are in trouble completing English assignments
B. you can display your talent in English to the fullest
C. your mind always wander off when learning English
D. you have a grasp of English but feel upset occasionally
33. Why did the author consider framing the results and hanging them?
A. The results were in line with his belief.
B. The results proved his ability in social life.
C. The results confirmed his nature of introversion.
D. The results reminded him to avoid social contacts.
34. According to the text, to tell whether a person is an introvert, you should take ________ into consideration.
A. his birthplace B. his inner value
C. his cultural background D. his education level
35. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE about the introverts?
A. They can develop lasting relationships with others.
B. They fear deeper and more meaningful relationships.
C. They have advantages over the extroverts in workplace.
D. They often hide their unique potential in front of others.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自身的例子说明了内向的人的特点,并指出理解“内向”时应注意的问题。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“The Zone of Excellence is where you stand out but might feel a little discouraged, and finally, the Zone of Genius is where your unique talents and passions shine, leading to deep fulfillment. (卓越区是你脱颖而出的地方,但可能会感到有点沮丧,最后,天才区是你独特的才能和激情闪耀的地方,会带来深刻的满足感。)”可知,如果你的特长是“英语”,这可能意味着你精通英语,但偶尔会感到沮丧。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段句子“Curious to identify my Zone of Genius, I took a related test. To my surprise, it turns out my Zone of Genius is “Networking.” I even considered framing (装裱) the results and hanging them over the fireplace. This situation is particularly amusing, because I am often perceived as an introvert (内向的人) — some would say I tend to escape from social contacts. That makes me occasionally in low spirits and doubtful about my ability to socialize. (为了找出自己的“天才地带”,我做了一个相关的测试。令我惊讶的是,我的天赋是“建立关系网”。我甚至想过把结果裱起来挂在壁炉上。这种情况特别有趣,因为我经常被认为是一个内向的人——有些人会说我倾向于逃避社会交往。这让我偶尔情绪低落,怀疑自己的社交能力。)”可知,作者考虑把结果裱起来挂起来是因为结果证明了他在社会生活中的能力。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Perceptions of introversion largely depend on cultural expectations, with different societies defining “introverted” and “extroverted” behaviors differently.(对内向的看法在很大程度上取决于文化期望,不同的社会对“内向”和“外向”行为的定义不同。)”和最后一句“Research shows that the level of introversion differs widely across cultures, making it challenging to label introversion universally. (研究表明,在不同的文化中,内向的程度差异很大,因此很难给内向贴上统一的标签。)”可知,要判断一个人是否内向,你应该考虑他的文化背景。故选C项。

One of the most important elements of successful job hunting is the job interview. ____36____ In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.
Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favourable way and stress your areas of excellence. However, don’t exaggerate (夸张); tell the truth. ____37____ Notice the interviewer’s interests and relate your comments to them.
____38____ Don't be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond.
Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. ___39___ If you believe that this area presents a real barrier to a job offer, you could be communicating this doubt to the interviewer. Many times, however, an interviewer will ignore these sensitive areas if you have a confident, positive attitude.
The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”. ____40____ Interviewers have the intelligence to recognize genuine enthusiasm and interest.
A. Answer sensitive questions briefly and positively.
B. Show confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job.
C. Some people lose job opportunities because of talking too much.
D. If unsure of job requirements, ask questions to see if you're qualified.

【36题详解】
根据空前“One of the most important elements of successful job hunting is the job interview.(找工作最重要的因素之一就是面试)”和空后“In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.(为了在申请你想要的工作时让自己比别人有优势,在面试中给人留下深刻印象是很重要的)”可知,空前是面试的重要性,空后提到面试中想要比别人有优势,留下深刻印象是很重要的,故F项“有几千人步入新的工作,找工作。”能够承接前文。最重要的因素就是面试,每年有几千人在找工作,因此想要在面试中比别人有优势,留下深刻的印象是很重要的。故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据空前“Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favourable way and stress your areas of excellence.(因为你在面试中说的话很重要,因此要记住这两条规则。其中一个就是以一种有利的方式呈现自己,强调自己优秀的地方)”可知,空前提到有两条规则,且介绍了其中一条,故G项“第二,认真听,投入到面试者所说的话。”能够承接前文,继续介绍前文提到的两条规则中的另一条。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据空后“Don't be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond.(如果你需要时间收集第二次面试中更有用的信息,不要害怕要求第二次面试。大多数面试官都会欣赏你的问题以及你的倾听和回应能力)”可知,空后提到要勇敢询问第二次面试所需要的信息,故D项“如果不确定工作要求,提出问题看自己是否符合。”能够引出后文。如果不确定工作要求,直接提出问题,如果需要时间收集第二次面试中有用的信息,直接要求第二次面试即可,故本段主要介绍大胆提出问题。故选D项。
【39题详解】
根据空前“Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field.(我们每个人都有敏感区,这可能是你没有学位,长期失业,或者如果你进入了一个新领域,缺乏工作经验)”可知,空前列举了一些敏感区的问题,故此处应提出如何应对,故A项“简单并积极地回答敏感的问题。”能够承接前文,提出在面对自己的敏感区时,应简单并积极地回答这些问题。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据空前“The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”.(面试是求职的重要组成部分,因为你表现出的态度和印象会让面试官感到“支持你”或者“反对你。”)”可知,空前提到在面试中,你的态度和印象是面试官决定留下你或者拒绝你的重要因素,故E项“记住,你有力量创造一个好的印象。”能够承接前文。你的态度和印象决定了面试的结果,你有力量创造一个好的印象。故选E项。

第二节 读后续写 (满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“No, little girl. You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day.
“Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off.
He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her.
“Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out.
Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children.
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。
Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few minutes later, the police and another car approached.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Finally, he saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. Jeffery felt relieved and delighted to see the girl staying safe and sound. Trying to calm himself, Jeffery decided to talk to her gently. He inquired about her name and why she had left home. “I was going to Grandma’s house. My mom wouldn’t let me go.” Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor. “Your parents are searching for you, and they’ll be here soon,” he assured her, and the little girl gave him a small smile.
A few minutes later, the police and another car approached them. A woman got out of the vehicle and rushed toward Sarah. The little girl got up and ran to her, yelling, “Mommy!” The police officers approached Jeffrey and he told them the entire story and how he regretted not letting her on the bus, so he came to find her. Sarah’s parents thanked him for what he had done. From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了公交车司机Jeffrey一开始拒绝让没有钱的小女孩上车,后来他在Facebook上看到女孩失踪的消息,意识到自己的错误并努力将她找回的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“最后,他看见一个小小的身影坐在原地的长凳上。”可知,第一段可描写Jeffrey抵达公交站并发现小女孩仍然坐在那里的情形以及他对自己行为的反思。
②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后,警察和另一辆车靠近了他们。”可知,第二段可描写小女孩与她的父母团聚的感人瞬间,以及他们对Jeffrey的感谢及Jeffrey的变化。
2.续写线索:车站看到小姑娘——感到欣慰——安慰小姑娘——女孩与父母团聚——女孩父母感谢——Jeffrey的变化。

Travel WiFi is a global company with a simple mission: to keep you connected to the Internet while traveling. They do this by providing WiFi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents.
About the WiFi devices
The Pocket Travel WiFi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and the Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one mini-USB charging port. However, it’s important to note that these devices are not waterproof. When fully charged, they should last around 12 hours with fairly regular WiFi use. Additionally, the Sapphire 2 model features indicator lights displaying signal strength and battery life.
Renting VS Buying the travel WiFi device
The cost of purchasing a travel WiFi device is $89 — $109 and then you pay on top of that for data packages ($29.9 for 20 GB in a month). Most frequent travelers buy their own device for convenience.
The rental price is based on the total number of days that you’ll keep the device and how much data you want to use each day. Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1 GB, $12.9 for 2 GB to $16.9 for 3 GB. Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers.
21. What is an advantage of the travel WiFi device?
A. It is resistant to water. B. It is quick to charge.
C. It is convenient to carry. D. It is excellent in signal.
22. For a 7-day UK trip, what’s the minimum rent for a WiFi device?
A. $6.9. B. $29.9. C. $45.9. D. $48.3.
23. Who is most likely to show interest in the device?
A. A person who will travel abroad.
B. A diver who is training off the coast.
C. A student who likes surfing the Internet.
D. A doctor who needs the latest information.
B
Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu District earlier this month might be surprised to catch an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”.
In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which alternately (交替地) rise up and down, imitating the human stride. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.
In recent decades, China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for grand skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of tear-down across the country. Shanghai has arguably been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “shikumen” (or “stone gate”) houses in the renovated Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou District, in what was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.
The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, whereas previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.
Citizens welcome and appreciate the efforts made by the municipal government to protect these old buildings. In their eyes, not only are the old buildings part of their memory but they also represent part of Shanghai’s history.
24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. A “walking building” can often be seen in Shanghai.
B. The 85-year-old building is called “walking machine”.
C. The 85-year-old building is the first building to be relocated.
D. Engineers relocated the building without breaking it into parts.
25. Which are excluded from the project of relocating the building?
A. Mobile supports. B. Robotic legs.
C Attached sensors. D. Technical engineers.
26. The author shows Shanghai’s success in protecting historic buildings by ______.
A. listing figures B. giving reasons
C. making comparisons D. providing examples
27. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Many old buildings in Shanghai have been relocated.
B. Shanghai is making great efforts to preserve old buildings.
C. A 5-storey building in Shanghai “walks” to a new location.
D. Citizens in Shanghai are shocked to see buildings relocated.
C
Based on a study, dogs’ brains cannot distinguish words that differ by a single speech sound, such as “dig” versus “dog”, or “sit” versus “set”. This makes dogs similar to human infants, who also can’t distinguish between words with similar sounds. But around age 14 to 20 months, babies typically start to learn that every sound in a word matters (i.e. that “dog” and “dig” are different words), and this allows them to proliferate their vocabulary, the authors said.
It appears that dogs never grasp these distinctions. “Dogs might not attend to all details of speech sound when they listen to words,” study senior author Attila Andics, of the Department of Ethology at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary, said in a statement. “Further research could reveal whether this could be a reason that disables dogs from acquiring a numerous vocabulary”.
For the study, published Tuesday (Dec. 8) in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the researchers monitored the brain waves of 17 very good dogs using a technique called electroencephalography (EEG) (脑电图). The study is one of the first to use EEG on awake dogs that didn’t have any specific training. The dogs visited the lab with their owners, and once the dogs got used to the new environment, they sat down on a carpet with their owners, and the researchers attached electrodes (电极) to the dogs’ heads with tape.
The dogs’ brains could quickly discriminate the words that they knew from the words that sounded very different (“sit” vs. “bep”). But their brains seemed to make no difference between the words they knew and the words that differed by only a single speech sound (“sit” vs. “sut”). Researchers have seen a similar pattern in infants younger than 14 months.
It’s not that the dogs can’t hear the different sounds — studies have found that dogs can distinguish individual speech sounds (such as “d,” “o” and “g”). But they may have “attentional and processing biases (偏差)” that prevent them from attending to all the sounds in a word, they said. Future studies with a large number of subjects (实验对象) and more trials of words are needed to confirm the findings, they said.
28. The underlined word in Paragraph1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. change flexibly B. grasp easily
C. increase greatly D. distinguish clearly
29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly intend to tell the readers?
A. The principle applied in the experiment.
B. The real background of the experiment.
C. The whole procedure of the experiment.
D. The method employed in the experiment.
30. According to the finding, if a dog knew the word “trip”, which of the following words would it misunderstand when hearing them?
A. Tread. B. Trick. C. Shirt. D. Scrip.
31. What will the researchers do to draw a further conclusion?
A. Rid dogs of the attentional and processing biases.
B. Integrate means to make the result more scientific.
C. Test different types of dogs to avoid one-sidedness.
D Observe more participants distinguishing more words.
D
I recently read The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, a psychologist who introduces the concept of different “zones” in life and work. These zones describe varying levels of ability and fulfillment (满足感) in our activities. The Zone of Disability involves tasks you’re not good at; the Zone of Ability includes tasks you’re capable of but find unsatisfying. The Zone of Excellence is where you stand out but might feel a little discouraged, and finally, the Zone of Genius is where your unique talents and passions shine, leading to deep fulfillment.
Curious to identify my Zone of Genius, I took a related test. To my surprise, it turns out my Zone of Genius is “Networking.” I even considered framing (装裱) the results and hanging them over the fireplace. This situation is particularly amusing, because I am often perceived as an introvert (内向的人) — some would say I tend to escape from social contacts. That makes me occasionally in low spirits and doubtful about my ability to socialize. What explains this contradiction?
Perceptions of introversion largely depend on cultural expectations, with different societies defining “introverted” and “extroverted” behaviors differently. In the United States, extroversion is often idealized. In contrast, in some East Asian cultures, such as Japan and China, value is associated with introversion. Differences also exist between Northern and Southern Europe. Research shows that the level of introversion differs widely across cultures, making it challenging to label introversion universally.
Contrary to the opinion that introverts are shy, research suggests they possess unique skills and strengths. The Harvard Grant Study shows that introverts tend to have fewer but deeper and more meaningful relationships. Another misunderstanding is that introverts do not make good leaders. However, studies show that introverted leaders can be just as effective — if not more so than the extroverts.
It’s vital to distinguish between introversion and shyness. Shyness is a fear of social judgment. However, introverts can be highly social, particularly in small groups or one-on-one conversations. Their preference for meaningful interaction over small talk makes them experts at forming deep, lasting relationships. So, the next time you meet an introvert, remember that their quiet behavior may hide a world of deep thoughts, keen insights, and powerful leadership potential.
32. If your Zone of Excellence is “English”, it may mean ________.
A. you are in trouble completing English assignments
B. you can display your talent in English to the fullest
C. your mind always wander off when learning English
D. you have a grasp of English but feel upset occasionally
33. Why did the author consider framing the results and hanging them?
A. The results were in line with his belief.
B. The results proved his ability in social life.
C. The results confirmed his nature of introversion.
D. The results reminded him to avoid social contacts.
34. According to the text, to tell whether a person is an introvert, you should take ________ into consideration.
A. his birthplace B. his inner value
C. his cultural background D. his education level
35. According to the text which of the following is TRUE about the introverts?
A. They can develop lasting relationships with others.
B. They fear deeper and more meaningful relationships.
C. They have advantages over the extroverts in workplace.
D. They often hide their unique potential in front of others.

“No, little girl. You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day.
“Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off.
He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her.
“Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out.
Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children.
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。
Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot.
