Covering huge lands of Chile and Argentina in the Southern Hemisphere, Patagonia is heaven for fans of outdoor adventures.
El Calafate Argentina
Every day, groups of buses depart El Calafate for the Perito Moreno glacier — an accessible icy sight, and one of the world’s few advancing glaciers. A series of boardwalks lead to various viewpoints that allow you to be amazed at this shining, blue-white wall of ice.
Futaleufú, Chile
Imagine it: you and the rest of the rafting crew are waiting for the signal from the rafting guide to row like your life depends on it. Huge river waves are hitting the boat and white-water spray showers you head to foot. You wipe the water out of your eyes and enjoy the sunshine when people in the Northern Hemisphere suffer from the freezing cold, and there are numerous guesthouses where you can base yourself.
Cueva de las Manos, Argentina
In a hidden canyon, reachable by tour or your own wheels, a boardwalk leads you past a vast overhanging rock face, decorated with ancient rock art. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most famous rock art sites in South America, with over 800 outlines of human hands and feet of wildlife.
Punta Tombo, Argentina
You smell the penguins before you see them. The presence of nearly a million Magellanic penguins — some hiding underground, some going fishing in the sea, others standing around — is a powerful effect on your senses. The long, narrow peninsula also attracts gulls, flightless steamer ducks, and black oystercatchers.
21. What can you do in El Calafate, Argentina?
A. Carve icy walls. B. Admire glaciers.
C. Enjoy bus tours. D. Decorate boardwalks.
22. In which month can you take on the white-water rafting trips?

I was driving on a hot morning to Los Angeles in a brand- new car. I stopped to get fuel. I thought any gas would work, and I picked one. A while later, getting closer to Los Angeles, that’s when the car suddenly died.
I called the rental agency. Ten minutes later, a man named Jackson came with a tow truck and moved me off the road. I told him what was wrong. I felt so depressed, and I started to cry. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine,” he said. “It’s OK to cry. I sometimes cry.” Then we sat in his truck to wait for the agent from the car-rental company. He gave me some suggestions on driving and cars. It seemed as if the rental company had taken advantage of me by giving me a bad car.
When the agent finally came, I was then driven to the rental office. I was mad about getting a car that didn’t work right and complained to the manager. He offered me another car, but I didn’t want to handle more driving and asked a refund of full amount. The manager agreed gently. Then, as we went to get my stuff from the car, I saw something written on the windshield (挡风玻璃): “Diesel Only.” I Googled diesel and learned that gas shouldn’t be put in a diesel car. I thought: Oh, my God! It was my fault. I felt so stupid.
The manager left me at the train station with my suitcase and three bags, where I asked a policeman what train to take to Los Angeles. He said a bus would be quicker, and then he carried my bags to the stop and told the driver to tell me when to get off, which he did.
On the way to the hotel, I felt a whole chain of people helped me, but I was trapped in thinking everyone had bad intentions. It’s natural to be cautious in the complex world, but I guess I needed to be more open to the kindness of strangers, to see the potential for good in every interaction.
24. Why did the car stop working?
A. It was an old car. B. It ran out of gas.
C. Due to the hot weather. D. Owing to the wrong fuel.
25. How did Jackson react to the author’s crying?
A. He depressed her. B. He cried with her.
C. He comforted her. D. He complained to her.
26. What did the manager finally do after the author’s complaint?
A. He gave her money back. B. He offered a second car.
C. He drove her to the hotel. D. He helped carry her bags.
27. What did the author learn from her experience?
A. Trust is hard to build once lost.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Men are born kind and trustworthy.
D. Caution and openness need balance.
C
The author of The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan, makes a glorious success of writing this non-fiction. The Backyard Bird Chronicles tightens the focus in describing and drawing a variety of birds that visit her yard in California. The book consists of journal entries from 2017 through 2022 that describe her observations of the behavior of golden crowned sparrows, Anna’s hummingbirds and other birds, with her drawings of them. The entire package is fascinating, all the more so because Tan fills the pages with questions about what she is seeing.
One day, from inside her house, Tan noticed a finch flying back and forth just outside the glass door, while looking directly at her. One feeder was full of seeds, and the bird sat there but did not eat. Another feeder nearby, devoted to highly favored sunflower seeds, was empty. “Could this bird possibly be signaling that I should refill its favorite feeder?” Tan wondered. She did refill it, and the finch “immediately went to the feeder and ate and ate and ate.”
When she began this project, Tan could recognize precisely three birds in her yard. Now, the count is 63 species. As a bird lover and observer, I deeply share her joy at this learning curve: In 2023, I counted 43 bird species in our little patch of land in southeastern Virginia.
Tan’s playful humor mixes with complete anthropomorphism (拟人) at times: “I want tourist junk food!” declares a baby crow (乌鸦) she has drawn. This playful tone only brings extra warmth to a beautifully written and illustrated volume. This book offers reflections on ways that watching birds can renew our joy in nature, and maybe even transform our lives.
28. What form is the book The Backyard Bird Chronicles written in?
A. Diaries. B. Novels. C. Poems. D. Questionnaires.
29. Why does the author mention Tan’s observation of a finch?
A. To praise Tan’s writing ability. B. To urge the protection of the bird.
C. To stress the bird’s preference. D. To show Tan’s curiosity about birds.
30. What does the underlined phrase “this learning curve” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The approach Tan adopted to study bird species.
B The progress Tan made in identifying bird species.
C. The joy shared by Tan and the author in bird counting.
D. The contrast between Tan and the author in bird counting.
31. What does the author think of Tan’s book?
A. Pleasant and direct. B. Fresh and beautiful.
C. Warm and humorous. D. Glorious and precise.
D
Imagine you’re cooking potatoes for breakfast. First, you’d remove the potatoes from their plastic bag. Then, you might chop them on a plastic cutting board. Next, you’d probably cook them in a nonstick pan. All the removing, chopping and overheating of nonstick pans can add 2.3 million microplastics to your food.
Besides food, the air and water in your home is full of microplastics. Smaller than a grain of salt, we interact with them more than we might realize. Humans breathe in about 22,000,000 microplastics annually. As a result, microplastics have been detected in our blood and lungs. We’re only just beginning to understand the effect of microplastics on human health — but research suggests we should concern more.
A groundbreaking new study shows how the presence of microplastics in arteries (动脉血管) is linked to a greater risk of heart attack and death. When microplastics build up in arteries, the thicker blood vessel (血管) walls reduce blood flow to parts of the body. This study will inspire more research into what other organs plastic may be damaging, such as the brain, or stomach.
Microplastics may be inescapable, but with simple swaps and fixes, you can reduce the amount of microplastics you encounter in your own home. Carry your own reusable bags and avoid buying food that comes in much plastic packaging. When heating food, use stainless steel instead of nonstick pans. Another way to limit your exposure is to filter (过滤) your tap water to reduce plastic fibers in the tap water.
Ultimately, plastic manufacturers and the companies that sell their products are responsible for the high volume of plastic waste in our environments, and significantly reducing that plastic — and the microplastics that come with it — will have to be at the policy level nationwide and worldwide.
32. What does the author try to convey by telling the cooking story?
A. Microplastics directly lead to diseases.
B. Nonstick pans are free of microplastics.
C. We consumed microplastics unknowingly.
D. Cooking is to blame for making microplastics.
33. How do microplastics affect our body according to the new study?
A. By damaging our brain. B. By slowing blood flow.
C. By thickening our lungs. D. By causing stomachache.
34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Tips for people to cut microplastics.
B Proof of microplastics in our homes.
C. Presence of microplastics in packaging.
D. Exposure to microplastics via tap water.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Plastic waste comes from microplastics on earth.
B. The amount of plastic waste is significantly large.
C. Relevant regulations are vital to contain plastic use.
D. Plastic makers and buyers answer for plastic waste.

Due to a medical misdiagnosis (误诊), Susan, 34, had been left sightless, and was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. And all she had to depend on was her husband, Mark.
Mark was an officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair. He was determined to help his wife gain confidence to become independent and return to her normal life again. But how would he do that?
Susan used to take the bus to work, but now she was too frightened to face the whole world. Mark decided to convince Susan to take the bus again. Perhaps one day she could enjoy a city tour all by herself or buy some daily grocery in the supermarket three stops away. But she was still so moody and sensitive. How would she react?
One day, Mark summoned up his courage and said “Honey, life shall move on, let’s try taking the bus as the first step, OK?” Just as he predicted, Susan was scared at the idea of taking the bus on her own. “I’m blind!” she responded bitterly. “How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you’re abandoning me.”
Mark’s heart broke hearing these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan he would ride the bus with her until she got the hang of it. And that was exactly what happened. For a whole week, Mark accompanied Susan on the bus. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Finally, Susan decided to try the trip on her own. Mark encouraged her and decided to continue watching out for her until she got off the bus, only in secret.
注意:

【原文】M: Anna, I’m so glad you are here at the gallery with me.
W: It’s my pleasure to have your invitation. This is my first time to visit a gallery. Can you tell me something about the artworks?
M: Sure. Look at this Chinese painting. The artist uses just ink and brush to create the mountains and trees, and the blank part means the snow. It shows a sense of harmony and peace.
W: Wow, that’s remarkable. I only see the colors and shapes instead of thinking about the feelings the artist wants to express.
M: Each artwork has its meaning. Look at the sculpture here, especially his facial expressions, muscles and gestures. Maybe it’s the moment of a sportsman doing his best and fighting to the last minute.
W: It’s so vivid.
M: Exactly and sometimes artworks have more to tell than visual appeal. The oil painting there documents a significant moment in history. A group of people fight for justice, marking the beginning of a new era in that land.
W: Artworks are silent, but sometimes silence speaks louder than words.
M: I can’t agree more.

A. Read more to their dogs.
B. Avoid upsetting their dogs.
C. Reply to their dogs in time.
【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: If you’ve ever noticed that you feel more relaxed around your beloved dog when you’re under pressure than you do with your family, you’re in good company. In recent years, multiple studies have illustrated how people’s dogs can be good listeners, provide comfort and calm their nerves. A study in 2023 had people engage in a stressful task. Then they were asked either to interact with their pet dogs or to color in a coloring book. Those who interact it with their dogs experienced a greater boost in mood and a greater reduction in anxiety than those who tried coloring. Measured by blood pressure and heart rate, researchers find that people are more willing to talk to their dogs about difficult emotions such as depression, anxiety and fear than they are. With their romantic partners or friends, one reason for this may be that pets are good, non judgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply. Dogs are fantastic at reading us. They can sense when we’re upset and they are better at reading us than some people are, says Cogan, a psychologist. And because we know that our dogs read us so well, we should regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful to our dogs as well.

Covering huge lands of Chile and Argentina in the Southern Hemisphere, Patagonia is heaven for fans of outdoor adventures.
El Calafate, Argentina
Every day, groups of buses depart El Calafate for the Perito Moreno glacier — an accessible icy sight, and one of the world’s few advancing glaciers. A series of boardwalks lead to various viewpoints that allow you to be amazed at this shining, blue-white wall of ice.
Futaleufú, Chile
Imagine it: you and the rest of the rafting crew are waiting for the signal from the rafting guide to row like your life depends on it. Huge river waves are hitting the boat and white-water spray showers you head to foot. You wipe the water out of your eyes and enjoy the sunshine when people in the Northern Hemisphere suffer from the freezing cold, and there are numerous guesthouses where you can base yourself.
Cueva de las Manos, Argentina
In a hidden canyon, reachable by tour or your own wheels, a boardwalk leads you past a vast overhanging rock face, decorated with ancient rock art. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most famous rock art sites in South America, with over 800 outlines of human hands and feet of wildlife.
Punta Tombo, Argentina
You smell the penguins before you see them. The presence of nearly a million Magellanic penguins — some hiding underground, some going fishing in the sea, others standing around — is a powerful effect on your senses. The long, narrow peninsula also attracts gulls, flightless steamer ducks, and black oystercatchers.
21. What can you do in El Calafate, Argentina?

I was driving on a hot morning to Los Angeles in a brand- new car. I stopped to get fuel. I thought any gas would work, and I picked one. A while later, getting closer to Los Angeles, that’s when the car suddenly died.
I called the rental agency. Ten minutes later, a man named Jackson came with a tow truck and moved me off the road. I told him what was wrong. I felt so depressed, and I started to cry. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine,” he said. “It’s OK to cry. I sometimes cry.” Then we sat in his truck to wait for the agent from the car-rental company. He gave me some suggestions on driving and cars. It seemed as if the rental company had taken advantage of me by giving me a bad car.
When the agent finally came, I was then driven to the rental office. I was mad about getting a car that didn’t work right and complained to the manager. He offered me another car, but I didn’t want to handle more driving and asked a refund of full amount. The manager agreed gently. Then, as we went to get my stuff from the car, I saw something written on the windshield (挡风玻璃): “Diesel Only.” I Googled diesel and learned that gas shouldn’t be put in a diesel car. I thought: Oh, my God! It was my fault. I felt so stupid.
The manager left me at the train station with my suitcase and three bags, where I asked a policeman what train to take to Los Angeles. He said a bus would be quicker, and then he carried my bags to the stop and told the driver to tell me when to get off, which he did.
On the way to the hotel, I felt a whole chain of people helped me, but I was trapped in thinking everyone had bad intentions. It’s natural to be cautious in the complex world, but I guess I needed to be more open to the kindness of strangers, to see the potential for good in every interaction.
24. Why did the car stop working?
A. It was an old car. B. It ran out of gas.
C. Due to the hot weather. D. Owing to the wrong fuel.
25. How did Jackson react to the author’s crying?

C. He comforted her. D. He complained to her.
26. What did the manager finally do after the author’s complaint?

C. He drove her to the hotel. D. He helped carry her bags.
27. What did the author learn from her experience?
A. Trust is hard to build once lost.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Men are born kind and trustworthy.
D. Caution and openness need balance.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“I Googled diesel and learned that gas shouldn’t be put in a diesel car. I thought: Oh, my God! It was my fault. I felt so stupid. (我在谷歌上搜索了柴油,了解到柴油车不应该加汽油。我想:哦,天哪!这是我的错。我觉得自己很愚蠢。)”可知,车停止工作的原因是作者加错了油,将汽油加到了柴油车里。因此,车停止工作的原因是加错了油。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中Jackson的话“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine (别担心。一切都会好起来的)”和“It’s OK to cry. I sometimes cry (哭也没关系。我有时也会哭。)”可知,Jackson看到作者哭,安慰了作者,告诉她别担心,哭是可以的,他有时候也会哭。 因此,Jackson对作者哭泣的反应是安慰她。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He offered me another car, but I didn’t want to handle more driving and asked a refund of full amount. The manager agreed gently. (他提出给我另一辆车,但我不想再开车了,并要求全额退款。经理温柔地同意了。)”可知,作者抱怨之后要求全额退款,不再要另一辆车,经理同意了,最后把钱还给了她。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“It’s natural to be cautious in the complex world, but I guess I needed to be more open to the kindness of strangers, to see the potential for good in every interaction. (在这个复杂的世界里保持谨慎是理所当然的,但我觉得我需要更加坦率地接受陌生人的善意,在每一次互动中看到潜在的美好。)”可知,作者认识到在复杂的世界里应该保持谨慎,但也需要更加坦率地接受陌生人的善意,看到每一次互动中潜在的美好。因此,作者从她的经历中学到了需要平衡谨慎和坦率。故选D。
C
The author of The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan, makes a glorious success of writing this non-fiction. The Backyard Bird Chronicles tightens the focus in describing and drawing a variety of birds that visit her yard in California. The book consists of journal entries from 2017 through 2022 that describe her observations of the behavior of golden crowned sparrows, Anna’s hummingbirds and other birds, with her drawings of them. The entire package is fascinating, all the more so because Tan fills the pages with questions about what she is seeing.
One day, from inside her house, Tan noticed a finch flying back and forth just outside the glass door, while looking directly at her. One feeder was full of seeds, and the bird sat there but did not eat. Another feeder nearby, devoted to highly favored sunflower seeds, was empty. “Could this bird possibly be signaling that I should refill its favorite feeder?” Tan wondered. She did refill it, and the finch “immediately went to the feeder and ate and ate and ate.”
When she began this project, Tan could recognize precisely three birds in her yard. Now, the count is 63 species. As a bird lover and observer, I deeply share her joy at this learning curve: In 2023, I counted 43 bird species in our little patch of land in southeastern Virginia.
Tan’s playful humor mixes with complete anthropomorphism (拟人) at times: “I want tourist junk food!” declares a baby crow (乌鸦) she has drawn. This playful tone only brings extra warmth to a beautifully written and illustrated volume. This book offers reflections on ways that watching birds can renew our joy in nature, and maybe even transform our lives.
28. What form is the book The Backyard Bird Chronicles written in?
A. Diaries. B. Novels. C. Poems. D. Questionnaires.
29. Why does the author mention Tan’s observation of a finch?
A. To praise Tan’s writing ability. B. To urge the protection of the bird.
C. To stress the bird’s preference. D. To show Tan’s curiosity about birds.
30. What does the underlined phrase “this learning curve” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The approach Tan adopted to study bird species.
B. The progress Tan made in identifying bird species.
C. The joy shared by Tan and the author in bird counting.
D. The contrast between Tan and the author in bird counting.
31. What does the author think of Tan’s book?
A. Pleasant and direct. B. Fresh and beautiful.
C. Warm and humorous. D. Glorious and precise.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了作家谭恩美的作品《后院鸟类编年史》。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The book consists of journal entries from 2017 through 2022 that describe her observations of the behavior of golden crowned sparrows, Anna’s hummingbirds and other birds, with her drawings of them.(这本书包括2017年至2022年的日记记录,描述了她对金冠麻雀、安娜蜂鸟和其他鸟类行为的观察,并附有关于它们的图画。)”可知,这本书采用了日记的形式。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One day, from inside her house, Tan noticed a finch flying back and forth just outside the glass door, while looking directly at her. One feeder was full of seeds, and the bird sat there but did not eat. Another feeder nearby, devoted to highly favored sunflower seeds, was empty. “Could this bird possibly be signaling that I should refill its favorite feeder?” Tan wondered. She did refill it, and the finch “immediately went to the feeder and ate and ate and ate.”(有一天,谭从家里看到一只雀在玻璃门外来回飞翔,直直地望着她。一只喂食器里装满了种子,这只鸟坐在那里,但不吃东西。附近的另一个喂食器是空的,专门喂食备受青睐的葵花籽。谭想知道:“这只鸟可能是在示意我应该给它最喜欢的喂食器补充食物吗?”。她确实重新装满了它,这只雀“立刻到喂食器前,吃了又吃。”)”可知,谭恩美详细描述了这只雀的行为,它示意谭恩美把自己喜欢的那个喂食器装满种子,然后就过去大吃特吃了,只有充满好奇的人才能观察这么细致,由此可推测出,作者描述谭恩美对这只雀的观察是想要表现她对鸟充满好奇。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“When she began this project, Tan could recognize precisely three birds in her yard. Now, the count is 63 species.(当她开始这个项目时,谭可以准确地认出院子里的三只鸟。现在,数量是63种。)”可知,谭恩美在自家院子里识别的鸟从3种慢慢上升到63种,再结合画线词所在句“As a bird lover and observer, I deeply share her joy at this learning curve: In 2023, I counted 43 bird species in our little patch of land in southeastern Virginia.(作为一名鸟类爱好者和观察者,我深深地分享了她对这条学习曲线的喜悦:2023年,我在弗吉尼亚州东南部的一小块土地上统计了43种鸟类。)”可知,“this learning curve”指的是上文讲述的谭恩美在识别鸟类方面取得的进步。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Tan’s playful humor mixes with complete anthropomorphismat times(谭的俏皮幽默与完全拟人化的时代混合在一起)”和“ This playful tone only brings extra warmth to a beautifully written and illustrated volume(这种俏皮的语气只会给一本优美的文字和插图带来额外的温暖)”可推知,作者认为谭恩美的这本书幽默且温暖。故选C。
D
Imagine you’re cooking potatoes for breakfast. First, you’d remove the potatoes from their plastic bag. Then, you might chop them on a plastic cutting board. Next, you’d probably cook them in a nonstick pan. All the removing, chopping and overheating of nonstick pans can add 2.3 million microplastics to your food.
Besides food the air and water in your home is full of microplastics. Smaller than a grain of salt, we interact with them more than we might realize. Humans breathe in about 22,000,000 microplastics annually. As a result, microplastics have been detected in our blood and lungs. We’re only just beginning to understand the effect of microplastics on human health — but research suggests we should concern more.
A groundbreaking new study shows how the presence of microplastics in arteries (动脉血管) is linked to a greater risk of heart attack and death. When microplastics build up in arteries, the thicker blood vessel (血管) walls reduce blood flow to parts of the body. This study will inspire more research into what other organs plastic may be damaging, such as the brain, or stomach.
Microplastics may be inescapable, but with simple swaps and fixes, you can reduce the amount of microplastics you encounter in your own home. Carry your own reusable bags and avoid buying food that comes in much plastic packaging. When heating food, use stainless steel instead of nonstick pans. Another way to limit your exposure is to filter (过滤) your tap water to reduce plastic fibers in the tap water.
Ultimately, plastic manufacturers and the companies that sell their products are responsible for the high volume of plastic waste in our environments, and significantly reducing that plastic — and the microplastics that come with it — will have to be at the policy level nationwide and worldwide.
32. What does the author try to convey by telling the cooking story?
A. Microplastics directly lead to diseases.
B. Nonstick pans are free of microplastics.
C. We consumed microplastics unknowingly.
D. Cooking is to blame for making microplastics.
33. How do microplastics affect our body according to the new study?
A. By damaging our brain. B. By slowing blood flow.
C. By thickening our lungs. D. By causing stomachache.
34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Tips for people to cut microplastics.
B. Proof of microplastics in our homes.
C. Presence of microplastics in packaging.
D. Exposure to microplastics via tap water.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Plastic waste comes from microplastics on earth.
B. The amount of plastic waste is significantly large.
C. Relevant regulations are vital to contain plastic use.
D. Plastic makers and buyers answer for plastic waste.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了微塑料对人类健康的影响,包括其在食物、空气和水中的普遍存在,以及可能对人体器官如心脏造成的危害,并提出了一些减少微塑料暴露的建议。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Imagine you’re cooking potatoes for breakfast. First, you’d remove the potatoes from their plastic bag. Then, you might chop them on a plastic cutting board. Next, you’d probably cook them in a nonstick pan. All the removing, chopping and overheating of nonstick pans can add 2.3 million microplastics to your food.(想象一下你在早餐时煮土豆。首先,你会从塑料袋里拿出土豆。然后,你可能会在塑料砧板上切它们。接下来,你可能会在不粘锅里煮它们。所有去除、切割和加热不粘锅的动作可能会给你的食物增加230万微塑料颗粒)”可推知,作者试图通过讲述烹饪故事来传达我们在不知情的情况下摄入了微塑料。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A groundbreaking new study shows how the presence of microplastics in arteries (动脉血管) is linked to a greater risk of heart attack and death. When microplastics build up in arteries, the thicker blood vessel (血管) walls reduce blood flow to parts of the body.(一项开创性的新研究表明,动脉中微塑料的存在与心脏病发作和死亡风险增加有关。当微塑料在动脉中积聚时,更厚的血管壁会减少流向身体各部位的血液)”可知,微塑料通过减缓血流来影响我们的身体。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Microplastics may be inescapable, but with simple swaps and fixes, you can reduce the amount of microplastics you encounter in your own home. Carry your own reusable bags and avoid buying food that comes in much plastic packaging. When heating food, use stainless steel instead of nonstick pans. Another way to limit your exposure is to filter (过滤) your tap water to reduce plastic fibers in the tap water.(微塑料可能是无法避免的,但通过简单的替换和修复,你可以减少在自己家中接触到的微塑料的数量。带上你自己的可重复使用的袋子,避免购买包装有大量塑料的食品。加热食物时,使用不锈钢而不是不粘锅。另一种限制暴露的方法是过滤你的自来水以减少自来水中的塑料纤维)”可知,本段主要提供了减少在家中接触微塑料的建议,包括使用可重复使用的袋子、避免购买塑料包装的食品、使用不锈钢锅加热食物以及过滤自来水等。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ultimately, plastic manufacturers and the companies that sell their products are responsible for the high volume of plastic waste in our environments, and significantly reducing that plastic — and the microplastics that come with it — will have to be at the policy level nationwide and worldwide.(最终,塑料制造商和销售其产品的公司对我们环境中大量的塑料垃圾负有责任,要在全国范围内和全球范围内大大减少这种塑料——以及随之而来的微塑料——将必须在政策层面进行)”可知,塑料制造商和销售产品的公司对塑料垃圾负有责任,并强调了在全国范围内和全球范围内通过政策层面减少塑料和微塑料的重要性。由此推知,相关法规对控制塑料使用至关重要。故选C。

Graffiti and Street Art
People have been painting and writing on walls throughout history. In prehistoric times, people in Africa and Europe used to paint pictures of animals and people in caves. ____36____. In the Roman town of Pompeii, archaeologists have found numerous examples of graffiti written in Latin. These include religious, political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells.
In the late twentieth century, graffiti and street art became an international phenomenon. In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first taggers was Demetrius. At first, he wrote his tag on walls in his neighborhood. Then he started tagging in subway stations on the way to and from school. When the subway train stopped at a station, he would jump off, write his tag on the wall and then jump back on before the doors closed. Other teenagers noticed Demetrius’s tag and started to write their own. ____37____.
But is graffiti art or damage? American artist Elura Emerald organized a street art exhibition at a New York Gallery in 2008. “Street artists and artists who paint on the street are merely expressing themselves, not hurting anyone. ____38____.” she defended.
____39____. In many countries, writing or painting on public or private property is considered illegal. Many street artists have been stopped by the police and some have had to pay fines. Many city councils complain about the high cost of cleaning graffiti off buildings, buses and trains.
However, some countries take a more tolerant attitude. In some countries, councils have tried to encourage artists not to paint randomly on walls by allowing them to work in specific areas. ____40____.
A. Policies also vary from region to region
B. They should be appreciated and celebrated
C. There are exhibitions of street art in major cities such as Paris
D. The city’s walls, buses and subway trains were covered with tags soon
E. In Greece and Italy, graffiti has been found on buildings at ancient sites
F. In Paris, there are “graffiti zones” where artists are free to paint and write

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位父亲为了帮助孩子提高学习成绩,与孩子一同学习,并最终两人都收到了大学录取通知书的感人故事。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一位父亲为了帮助孩子取得更好的成绩,开始与孩子一起学习,这激励着他去追求自己的学业。motivate sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“激发某人做某事”,此处为其被动语态形式sb be motivated to so sth.。故填to pursue。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:一些网友称这个故事“太棒了”,而其他人则认为这是父子之间深厚纽带的感人例子,对其他家庭来说也是一堂值得学习的课。空处作主语,需填名词,some修饰可数名词复数形式。故填netizens。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。between…and…为固定搭配,意为“在两者之间”。故填between。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:来自青海省的高中毕业生刘奥涵被北京航空航天大学录取,而他的父亲则收到了广西师范大学的录取通知书。结合“received”可知,使用一般过去时,Liu Aohan和admit为被动关系,需用被动语态,主语为Liu Aohan,be动词用was。故填was admitted。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意:刘奥涵曾经沉迷于游戏而分心。根据空前的become可知,此处应用形容词作表语,表示“分心的”。distracted意为“分心的”,符合题意。故填distracted。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:因此,他的父亲决定和他一起学习,目的是帮助他集中注意力,有效学习,克服困难。上文提到“刘奥涵曾经沉迷于游戏而分心”,下文提到“他的父亲决定和他一起学习”,上下文之间是因果关系,此处表示“因此”或“所以”的意思,应用副词therefore/thus/consequently,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Therefore/Thus/Consequently。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们一起上网课,做作业,讨论问题,这一切一直持续到儿子高中毕业。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面的句子,在定语从句中作宾语,需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:在这段旅程中,刘先生觉得支持儿子的教育是作为父亲的责任,但他也受到鼓励要在学业上提升自己。此处应用副词作状语,修饰动词improve。academically意为“在学术上”,符合题意。故填academically。
【64题详解】
考查代词。句意:“陪伴孩子学习为我提供了信任自己继续学习冒险的机会,”刘先生说。句子的主语和宾语一致,此处应用反身代词作宾语,表示“信任自己”。主语为I,对应的反身代词为myself。故填myself。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在收到大学录取通知书后,刘先生给儿子写了一封深情的信,表达了他深深的自豪和最好的祝愿。此处为非谓语动词作状语,express与逻辑主语Liu之间为主动关系,应用现在分词。故填expressing。

Due to a medical misdiagnosis (误诊), Susan, 34, had been left sightless, and was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. And all she had to depend on was her husband, Mark.
Mark was an officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair. He was determined to help his wife gain confidence to become independent and return to her normal life again. But how would he do that?
Susan used to take the bus to work, but now she was too frightened to face the whole world. Mark decided to convince Susan to take the bus again. Perhaps one day she could enjoy a city tour all by herself or buy some daily grocery in the supermarket three stops away. But she was still so moody and sensitive. How would she react?
One day, Mark summoned up his courage and said “Honey, life shall move on, let’s try taking the bus as the first step, OK?” Just as he predicted, Susan was scared at the idea of taking the bus on her own. “I’m blind!” she responded bitterly. “How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you’re abandoning me.”
Mark’s heart broke hearing these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan he would ride the bus with her until she got the hang of it. And that was exactly what happened. For a whole week, Mark accompanied Susan on the bus. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Finally Susan decided to try the trip on her own. Mark encouraged her and decided to continue watching out for her until she got off the bus, only in secret.
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。
With the help of her walking stick, she slowly made it to the bus stop.

She asked the driver, “Why do you say that I’m very lucky?”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With the help of her walking stick, she slowly made it to the bus stop. Hearing the bus arrive, Susan got on alone and sat in the seat that the driver had reserved for her. She was nervous but excited all the way until she got off the bus at the stop smoothly, where Mark was waiting for her. Hugging Susan gently, Mark said he was proud of her. For the rest of the week, Susan went on her own perfectly and she had never felt better. On Friday morning, as she was getting off the bus, the driver said, “Do you know you are very lucky?” Hearing this, Susan felt curious.
She asked the driver, “Why do you say that I’m very lucky?” The driver responded, “You know, every morning for the past week, a gentleman in a military uniform has been watching you as you get off the bus until you safely enter your office building. You are one lucky lady.” Tears of happiness poured down Susan’s cheeks. Although she couldn’t see him physically, she had always felt Mark’s presence. She was so lucky, for her husband had given her a gift she didn’t need to see to believe - the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Susan因误诊而失明后,她的丈夫Mark帮助她克服了内心的恐惧,使她能够一个人乘坐公交车上下班的故事。
