第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
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
London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.
Time Zone
Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year (starting at Daylight Saving Time).
Best Time to Go
The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and London’s gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and lively for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.
Things to Know
Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do—while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness; it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.
How to Get Around
Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, are paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.
21. When is the best time to visit London for people who enjoy a festival atmosphere?
A. Autumn. B. Spring. C. Winter. D. Summer.
22. Which of the following is a suitable topic for starting a conversation with Londoners?
A. Future plans. B. Daily entertainments.
C. Personal relationships. D. Annual incomes.
23. Where is this text most probably taken from?
A. A survey. B. A guidebook.
C. A research paper. D. A travel journal.
B
When her students ask what she was like at their age, Tiffany Marconi opens up about her high school experience. Her family were often on the move, which made her feel lost. “I was just kind of all over the place. My teachers in high school really helped me discover who I was and feel comfortable with myself,” Marconi says.
Marconi is instrumental in building a program in Wheat on Warrenville Unit District 200. Through her “Intro to Teaching” classes, Marconi is drawing high school students to the profession (职业) at a time when a national teacher shortage makes headlines.
One of the goals of the program is to give teens real-world experiences and opportunities to explore careers while they’re in high school. The curriculum is set through the College of DuPage, but Marconi creates a student-centered classroom. At the end of the term, students design their own classroom on an individual level and in small groups as a team-based challenge.
Marconi doesn’t avoid talking about the realities—all the positives and some of the struggles of being a teacher. “Yes, I would love all of them to come back and teach,” Marconi says. “But I just hope honestly that it helps them figure out if they want to be a teacher, and if not, that’s OK. The one thing I always tell my students: You need to find a job, something that you love and that you are excited to do when waking up every day.”
24. Why did Marconi feel lost in her high school?
A. She scored low marks.
B. Her family moved a lot.
C. Her teachers were strict.
D. She went to school alone.
25. What does the program that Marconi works for aim to do?
A. Help students get along well with each other.
B. Encourage students to attend top colleges.
C. Build more student-centered classrooms.
D. Inspire students to go for teaching jobs.
26. What do the students need to do at the end of the term?
A. Design a classroom in their own way.
B. Look for a well-paid job as expected.
C. Prepare themselves for the interviews.
D. Discuss their curriculum with teachers.
27. Which of the following best describes Marconi as a teacher?
A. Quiet. B. Impatient. C. Caring. D. Humorous.
C
Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity, which was a method favoured by the inventor Thomas Edison and the artist Salvador Dali.
Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him. For Dali, it was a key landing on a plate. Now scientists have found that they might have been onto something.
Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute studied people’s ability to find a hidden rule in a maths puzzle. Identifying the trick would make solving the problem far simpler but to do so required thinking creatively. The scientists found that participants who had been woken just before falling into a deep sleep, using a technique like that used by Edison and Dali, were more likely to find the shortcut.
This “twilight zone” is known as non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1, or N1. Scientists described it like an exaggerated form of mind-wandering, where dream-like thoughts fill the mind. It is thought that as people start to get away from their environment they can “freely watch their minds wander, while maintaining their ability to identify creative sparks (火花)”.
For the study 103 people were given a maths problem to solve. To reach the final answer they had to apply the rules step by step but, unknown to them, a “hidden rule” would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly. The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut, compared with 31 percent in the group who were awake and 14 percent of those in a deep sleep.
Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks. “Although the neural mechanisms (神经机制) involved are not yet known, our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone,” said Dr Thomas Andrillon, co-author of the study.
28. Why did the author mention “a metal ball” and “a key” in Paragraph 2?
A. To present a concept. B. To explain a theory.
C. To make a comparison. D. To clarify a method.
29. What can we learn about “the twilight zone” from the text?
A. It prevents your mind from wandering.
B. It determines what your dreams will be like.
C. It is a state of being half asleep and half awake.
D. It is known as rapid eye movement sleep stage.
30. What does the underlined “the shortcut” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The hidden rule. B. The final answer.
C. The maths problem. D. The added step.
31. What attitude may Dr Thomas Andrillon hold to the technique used by Edison and Dali?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
D
In the world of water, 2021 was another year for the record books. Parts of Western Europe suffered from deadly floods while large areas of the southwestern United States remained locked in a massive drought.
One might think that our impressive water management would safeguard society from such catastrophic events. Yet when it comes to water, the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather. One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town, where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir (水库).
Appealing as it might be, the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams(水坝) that often result in more disastrous flooding. Rather, it is to work more with natural processes.
The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project, which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands, lowering parts of the stormy river by more than a foot. Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil’s water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. This means farmland practices such as the planting of cover crops can not only raise output but improve water management.
Solutions don’t come easily, but they are key to a livable future. While it’s too late to avoid the impacts of climate change, we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more in such nature-based water solutions.
32. Why is Cape Town mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To show the existing water management is impressive.
B.To show the reservoir was of no practical use.
C.To show how awful it was without tap water.
D.To show new water management is in need.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Improving soil’s water-holding ability is practical.
B. The river’s water level was reduced to over a foot.
C. The Netherlands was free from flood damage.
D. Boosting organisms reduced the production.
34. Which of the following water projects might win the author’s favor?
①Restoring healthy soil ②Filling wetlands
③Strengthening dams ④Making room for river
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Water disaster: a threat out of control.
B. Investment in water: a key to the future.
C. Nature-based solution: a way out for water.
D. Good news: farming practices working well.
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。
Do you have an important or favorite memory from the past? Perhaps it was clapping for goals or seeing rainbow picture in the window. Shared memories can connect you to others. 36
How does memory work?
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stays in our brain for only 15-30 seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, or even years.
Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to remember faces. 37 Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories. They are long term and can sometimes last a lifetime.
Why are memories important?
38 Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heidi, 12, told The Week, “If I miss seeing my granny and granddad, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there.”
“When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talking with them,” Erica Boothby, a social-psychologist, said. By telling a funny or embarrassing story we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome. By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences, we empathize (产生共鸣) with and understand one another better.
39
Kim Roberts, a professor who runs the Child Memory Lab in Canada, believes focusing on happy memories will help you feel more positive. 40 Roberts says it’s also helpful to remember that if you missed out on your last term at school, or birthday celebrations, then your friends did too. One day you will look back on this year as an important memory that you all share.
A. When do memories fade?
B. Can memories help wellbeing?
C. Memories tell you the story of yourself.
D. Emotional memories are usually sad ones.
E. These types of memories can be short or long term.
F. If you have difficult memories, though, it is important to talk about them.
G. By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive.

There is a big difference between offering to help and helping. Almost all of us are guilty about the following 41 : Someone talks about a problem, and we answer with 42 words, “Be sure to give me a call if I can help.” But we often do nothing to help.
Once I was in the situation where I 43 these kinds of offers of help — my son just started studying abroad. During those particular days, all I could 44 was the trouble my son would possibly face. It was a very 45 experience. However, there were very few who offered something really helpful.
46 , I had one close friend who took action rather than just saying to offer help. She called, “I know you must be going crazy. I think you need to get away from your 47 .” She had already called a few of our friends and 48 a big dinner out. It was a wonderful night. I hadn’t even known how much I needed that 49 until I was there.
After that 50 , I decided I’d 51 her example and reach out to others. I’ve been 52 though rejected at times. But I was amazed when I cheered people up. So 53 asking someone if they need help, and offer something 54 then and there. It is a way to show the power of 55 in an uncertain world.

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。
Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring at the math problems in front of her, confused and hopeless. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
The situation became worse in the 10th grade. The poor grades shook her confidence. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was unwilling to spend extra hours on a subject she hated, which seemed like a punishment. But she agreed, knowing something had to change.
At their first class, Mr. Jenkins didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke excitedly about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.” Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts by using colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with limited improvement, and Emily’s patience ran out. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas(画布). Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how small.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. She found herself approaching math problems with a newfound curiosity instead of anxiety. The once confusing numbers and symbols began to become patterns she could understand. Mr. Jenkins continued to teach her in his unique way. On the day of the final math exam, Emily still felt a little nervous but it was different this time—she was prepared. Pen in hand, she carefully approached each problem, remembering the steps and visual cues Mr. Jenkins had taught her. She managed to finish the paper. Now all she could do was wait for the results.
Paragraph 2:
Emily's heart raced when the results day arrived. She sat in the classroom, her hands trembling slightly as she received her test paper. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the grade --- a bold “A”. Tears of relief and happiness welled up in her eyes. She looked up at Mr. Jenkins, who stood at the back of the classroom, watching her with a proud smile. At that moment, Emily knew that she had not only conquered her fear of math but also discovered the power of perseverance.
第2节 读后续写
10年级的Emily Harper,她在数学方面遇到了极大的困难,尽管她在艺术上很有天赋。随着数学成绩的下降,她的自信心也受到了打击。父母决定为她找一位家教,最终请来了退休教师Jenkins先生。起初,Emily对额外的数学辅导感到抗拒,但Jenkins先生通过将数学与艺术相结合的教学方法,逐渐激发了她的兴趣。虽然进步缓慢,但在Jenkins先生的鼓励下,Emily一步步建立了自信,并在考试中努力应用所学知识,最终克服了对数学的恐惧。
故事主题:
原文的主题是克服困难与成长。它通过Emily在数学学习中的挑战和最终的进步,展现了如何通过坚持不懈的努力和适当的引导,战胜自我怀疑与学业压力。Jenkins先生的教学方法不仅帮助Emily理解了数学,还启发她将数学与她热爱的艺术联系起来,从而逐渐重拾自信,体现了在逆境中寻找适合自己的解决方法的重要性。
续写主要线索:

描述Emily如何准备参加数学考试的细节。尽管她曾经对数学感到恐惧,但在Jenkins先生的指导下,她逐渐掌握了基本概念,并开始相信自己能够应对考试。可以写到Emily走进考场时的紧张心情,她回想起在辅导中学到的技巧,并尝试冷静下来,用老师教她的方式分析试题。
通过考试过程的描写,展示Emily如何运用新掌握的数学技巧逐步解决问题,表现出她从最初的焦虑到慢慢适应,甚至感到一丝成就感。最后过渡到完成试卷,等待考试结果。
第二段线索:
描述考试成绩公布的情节。Emily在等待成绩时的忐忑和不安,她既希望有好成绩,又担心自己的努力可能还不够。
当Emily看到自己的成绩时,可以突出她内心的反应,可能是惊讶、激动或是解脱。她会意识到自己取得了进步,不仅在分数上,更是在对数学的理解和自信心方面。Jenkins先生的鼓励和教学在这一刻显得尤为重要,Emily感到一切的努力都是值得的。

6.M: That was one of the best performances I’ve ever been to! Did you see how many turns Misty
Copeland did?
W: Uh, yeah. She was impressive.
M: You don’t sound so enthusiastic. Didn’t you like the show?
W: Well, I didn’t actually see much of it. The music was so calming and quiet that it sent me to sleep.
M: Are you saying that you feel asleep? How could you miss one of the most significant ballets of our time? I thought you loved Swan Lake.
W: Yes, but I feel clear now.
M: I’ve fallen asleep at shows before, but it was because they were boring or it was too hot in the theater. What a shame!
7.M: Michelle, do you want to eat your sandwich now? It’s just 10:30 am.
W: I was woken up early by my father and was asked to jog with him for half an hour. I just had some bread and two eggs this morning. Now, I’m really starving. I usually don’t feel hungry before 11:30 am. I guess it’s because of my jogging.
M: Well, if you really want to eat now, I suggest you go outside.
W: Why?
M: If you eat in the studio, you’ll make Mr. Brown very angry. He doesn’t allow eating here.
W: I guess you’re right. I don’t want to make him cross.
8.W: Henry, I heard a fire engine siren this afternoon. Was there a fire in our town?
M: No, there wasn’t. Haven’t you watched TV? There was an accident at the DreiMeister chocolate factory. One of its tanks overflowed on the street of WestOennen.
W: I really didn’t know that. So why did the firefighters go there?
M: Well, the chocolate immediately froze because of the weather. It’s freezing these days after all. Chocolate covered the street and it couldn’t be used. The firefighters were called to solve the problem.
W: Was it easy work?
M: I don’t think so. Altogether 25 firefighters responded to the call and spent hours attempting to break the frozen chocolate layer using tools.
W: The CEO of the chocolate factory must have been worried.
M: You bet. Because of the accident, the traffic was stopped for hours. Luckily, the street could be used again before rush hour.
W: So do you know what led to the accident?
M: Yes. The news said...
9.W: You’re not very talkative, Eric. What’s up?
M: Nothing, I’m worn out because I spent hours sitting in the car in traffic jams this morning.
W: It’s no wonder you got stuck in a traffic jam. There was a public transport strike.
M: Now I understand. Anyway, why were they on strike today? For more pay and holidays, I suppose.
W: No. Some of the drivers are going to lose their jobs. They’re cutting down the number of services.
M: So how did you deal with today? You work in the center.
W: I borrowed my brother’s bike. It was quite easy to get through the traffic.
M: But you don’t normally go in like that, do you?
W: No. I usually go by bus. The bus stop is near my house.
