Are at least 16 years old by June 22, 2024, and will not turn 19 years old before July 31, 2024.(您必须满足以下条件：在2025年或2026年高中毕业并进入大学。2024年6月22日前年满16岁，2024年7月31日前未满19岁。)”以及“Important Deadlines: Early Application and Priority Financial Aid Deadline—January 10, 2024; Regular Application and Financial Aid Deadline—February 14, 2024; Late Application Deadline—April 10, 2024(重要截止日期：提前申请和优先财政援助截止日期——2024年1月10日；常规申请和财政援助截止日期——2024年2月14日；申请截止日期——2024年4月10日)”可知，申请者应该是2025年或2026年高中毕业生，年龄要求为2024年6月22日前年满16岁且2024年7月31日前未满19岁，并于2024年1月10日前进行提前申请，于2月14日前进行常规申请或于4月10日前进行申请的人。选项D“2026 graduates applying on February 13, 2024.(2026年毕业生将于2024年2月13日申请。)”提到的申请者为2026年高中毕业生，结合常识可知，美国高中毕业生年龄一般在18岁到19岁之间，同时，申请时间在2月14日之前，符合以上条件。故选D项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“Courses at Harvard’s Pre-College Program”部分内容“At the end of the program, you’ll receive a written evaluation from your instructor, as well as a Harvard transcript with a grade of AR or NM (“met all requirements” or “requirements not met”). This is a great way to enhance your college application.

These stargazers have travelled 250 miles to Samburu to witness the Perseid meteor shower(英仙座流星雨). They are not disappointed: Every few minutes, arrows of light shoot across the sky like silent fireworks. The Star Safari is organised by a Kenyan astronomer, Susan Murabana, who has brought a 50 kg,170 cm-long telescope to allow the group to view Mars and deep-sky objects. But here in Samburu, where light pollution is minimal, the Perseid meteors—visible with the naked eye (裸眼)—steal the show. Every two months, Murabana and her husband load their telescope on to the roof of their 4×4 and set off to rural communities, where they give up to 300 children a chance to view the planets and learn about constellations (星座) and the basics of astrophysics. They primarily targets schools in remote areas because of her mission to give girls an opportunity that she wishes had been available to her. “When I started this work, I didn’t see people who looked like me. I was a lone ranger and I wanted to change that.” says Murabana. “There is a common misconception in Kenya that astronomy in general is hard, boring, and only for boys,” she adds. “I’d like to teach young girls that astronomy is neither of these things and that they, too, can become astronomers,” says Murabana. Murabana’s passion for astronomy began in her early 20s when her uncle invited her to join a similar outreach session organized by the Cosmos Education. “That was a gamechanger. If an outreach group had come to me when I was a young teenager, my attitude towards a career in astronomy would have been positive. I ended up studying sociology and economics, but maybe I would have desired to be an astronomer,” she says. Inspired by the Cosmos Education, Murabana completed an online master’s degree in astronomy with the James Cook University in 201l and set up her own outreach programme. She looked to Dr Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space, as a role model. “I hope that one day, through this work, I will spark a chain reaction that leads to the first African woman in space.” 4. What do the underlined words “steal the show” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Ruin the effort. B. Face the challenge. C. Attract more attention. D. Keep the promise. 5. Why does Murabana target girl students in remote areas? A. To help them out of poverty. B. To inspire their love of astronomy. C. To look for assistants for her work. D. To give them an edge over boys in studies. 6. What can we learn about Murabana from paragraph 6? A. She enjoyed playing games. B. She longed to be an astronomer. C. She is an initiator of Cosmos Education. D. She regretted not taking astronomy earlier. 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The birth of a Kenyan woman astronomer. B. The prejudice against girls in rural Kenyan. C. The Kenyan astronomer bringing astronomy to the people. D. The Kenyan stargazers watching the Perseid meteors shower. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本篇是记叙文。文章主要讲述了肯尼亚天文学家Susan Murabana致力于普及天文知识的情况。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前文“The Star Safari is organised by a Kenyan astronomer, Susan Murabana, who has brought a 50 kg,170 cm-long telescope to allow the group to view Mars and deep-sky objects. But here in Samburu, where light pollution is minimal, the Perseid meteors—visible with the naked eye(裸眼) (星际旅行由肯尼亚天文学家Susan Murabana组织，她带来了一个50公斤，170厘米长的望远镜，让这个团队可以观察火星和深空天体。但是在这里的桑布鲁，光污染最小，英仙座流星——肉眼可见)”可知，以前是这架望远镜让大家观察天体，而这次因为污染少流星雨用裸眼可以看见从而抢了望远镜的风头，因此划线部分的意思是“吸引了更多注意力”。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They primarily targets schools in remote areas because of her mission to give girls an opportunity that she wishes had been available to her. (他们主要针对偏远地区的学校，因为她的使命是给女孩们一个她希望能得到的机会。)”和第五段““There is a common misconception in Kenya that astronomy in general is hard, boring, and only for boys,” she adds. “I’d like to teach young girls that astronomy is neither of these things and that they, too, can become astronomers,” says Murabana.(她补充说:“在肯尼亚有一种普遍的误解，认为天文学总体上是困难、无聊的，而且只适合男孩。”Murabana说:“我想告诉年轻女孩，天文学不是这两种东西，她们也可以成为天文学家。”)”可知，Murabana主要针对偏远地区的孩子尤其是女孩，为了激发她们对天文学的热爱。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“If an outreach group had come to me when I was a young teenager.my attitude towards a career in astronomy would have been positive. I ended up studying sociology and economics, but maybe I would have desired to be an astronomer (如果在我十几岁的时候有一个外展小组来找我，我对天文学事业的态度会是积极的。我最终学习了社会学和经济学，但也许我想成为一名天文学家)”推知，Murabana后悔没有早点学天文学。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段“Every two months, Murabana and her husband load their telescope on to the roof of their4×4 and set off to rural communities, where they give up to 300 children a chance to view the planets and learn about constellations (星座) and the basics of astrophysics. (每两个月，Murabana和她的丈夫将他们的望远镜装在他们4×4的屋顶上，出发去农村社区，在那里他们给多达300个孩子一个观察行星和了解星座的机会(星座)和天体物理学的基础知识)”可知，本文主要介绍了致力于把天文学带给人民的肯尼亚天文学家Susan Murabana的故事。故选C。 C One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 8. Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library? A. The library staff were in it. B. People kept reading on holidays. C. People came in without permission. D. It was used though supposed to be closed. 9. What did Elf do that Saturday? A. She left the library open. B. She asked the staff back. C. She apologized to the visitors. D. She read books in the library. 10. What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals? A. It displays community spirit. B. It gives the library much uplift. C. It is a positive reaction to society. D. It strengthens trust between people. 11. What does the author want to convey through the story? A. People tend to show care for others. B. Life is always full of the unexpected. C. Libraries can be automated sometimes. D. A library can bring out the best in people. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11.

But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar (毛毛虫) known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions? According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the caterpillar has 13 segments (昆虫的节/段) to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. Scientific studies on worm forecasting are rare. American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted a small trial in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder. Most scientists view the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just that, folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one — probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.” Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a caterpillar and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.” 12. How do people predict the weather through caterpillars? A. By analyzing their living habits. B. By measuring the change of their size. C. By calculating the number of their segments. D. By studying color bands on their bodies. 13. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on? A. His personal observations. B. An investigation on the locals. C. Studies by previous scientists. D. Statistics collected by the museum. 14. What is Joe Boggs’s attitude towards the folklore? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with? A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it. B The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather. C. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth. D. The caterpillar can help predict the severity of winter accurately. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了用毛毛虫预测冬天的民间传说。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter.(毛茸茸的蠕虫的黑色带越长，冬天就越长、越冷、越多雪，也就越严酷。同样，更宽的中间棕色带是即将到来的温和冬天的标志)”可知，人们通过研究毛毛虫身体上的色带来预测天气。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.(听说了毛毛虫的民间传说后，Curran每年秋天都前往Bear Mountain州立公园收集毛毛虫，持续了八年。他发现，如果这些蠕虫身上有超过三分之一的褐色斑纹，冬天就会比较温和)”可知，Howard Curran的发现是基于他自己的观察，故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one — probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.(Curran是一位真正的科学家。他发表了大量的论文，但他从未发表过这篇——可能是因为他知道这篇论文经不起同行评议)”可知，Joe Boggs认为Curran不发表关于毛毛虫预测冬天的论文可能是因为Curran知道这经不起同行评议，由此推知Joe Boggs对于这个民间传说持怀疑态度，故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“’The band does say something about a heavy winter,’ he says. ‘The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.’(‘色带确实表达了一些关于严冬的东西。’他说。‘唯一的问题是，它告诉你的是前一年的情况。’)”可知，Mike Peters认为毛毛虫身上的色带可以反映过去的天气，故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.

When Amy didn’t respond, Bonnie went to her room, finding that Amy sat at her desk with her headphones on, drawing a picture. “Are you drawing those strange pictures again?” Bonnie yelled. “Have you finished your homework? Your teacher called me today and told me you’ve been ignoring her homework!” she shouted angrily. Minutes later, they began eating dinner in silence. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Bonnie answered the door to see a man standing outside. It turned out to be Mr. Henderson, a famous New York-based cartoonist. He explained to Amy he received a letter with some pieces of her artwork and was so impressed with her talent. In fact, he wrote Amy letters, but never got an answer. Then, Amy realized that her grandmother kept them hidden from her. “I’m here with an offer for Amy,” Mr. Henderson continued. “We are accepting applications for our arts training program this summer. I would personally teach the students the art of cartoons. For that, Amy needs to pass a test, and then she’ll have to spend her summer in New York learning under me. If everything goes well, she will be able to join my team later and seek her dream of art.” “Really?!” Amy was so excited. But Bonnie refused because she promised Amy’s late parents to raise her an educated person. Mr. Henderson sighed and pulled out a file from his bag, “It’s a test. I know your Granny is against it, kid. But if you manage to finish it and hand it over to me by 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, I can take it to my manager,” he added. Amy decided to finish the test after school the next day. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next evening, Amy found her drawing tools were gone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Entering the house, Amy found Bonnie holding her drawing tools, crying. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next evening, Amy found her drawing tools were gone. She ran to ask her grandmother. Barely looking at Amy, Bonnie told her that they had been thrown away already. Amy was so heartbroken and angry that she couldn’t help but yell at her grandmother. “I hate you, Granny!” she yelled through her tears and then rushed out of the house. She could hear Bonnie calling after her, but she didn’t stop. Amy ran down the street and stopped by a shop, where her parents bought her drawing tools for the first time and encouraged her to study hard as well as draw well. A while later, she wiped her tear-stained cheeks and returned home with a determined heart. Entering the house, Amy found Bonnie holding her drawing tools, crying. Amy apologized to her grandmother and promised to study hard in the future and never let her down or get angry again. Bonnie also said she was sorry to Amy for not living up to her parents’ expectations. She encouraged Amy to paint well and try to qualify for the painting course. Amy stayed up all night, trying to make her art perfect, and in the end, she did have a drawing she really liked. Mr. Henderson was very satisfied with the picture and Amy could learn under him for a whole summer. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事情发展顺序为线索展开，主要讲述了艾米热爱画画，但是奶奶邦妮为了完成对艾米父母的承诺，反对艾米画画。著名的纽约漫画家亨德森先生在给艾米写信久久未得到回复后，来到艾米家，想让艾米申请今年夏天艺术培训项目，邦妮拒绝了。亨德森先生交给艾米一份测试，如果艾米能在后天上午10点前完成并交给他，他可以把它交给经理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天晚上，艾米发现她的绘画工具不见了。”可知，第一段可描写奶奶邦妮告诉艾米自己扔掉了艾米的绘画工具，艾米很生气，在意识到自己的问题后回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“走进屋子，艾米发现邦妮拿着她的绘画工具在哭。”可知，第二段可描写邦妮和艾米互相谅解，邦妮鼓励艾米好好画画，艾米努力画了一幅自己满意的画，交给了亨德森先生，亨德森先生很满意，同意她参加今年夏天艺术培训项目。 2.续写线索：发现工具不见了——生气伤心——想起父母的鼓励——回家——邦妮在哭——两人互相谅解——艾米得以参加夏天艺术培训项目 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊： yell/shout ②回家：return home/go back home ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①坚定的：determined/firm ②生气的：angry/annoyed 【点睛】【高分句型1】Barely looking at Amy, Bonnie told her that they had been thrown away already.   (运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Amy ran down the street and stopped by a shop, where her parents bought her drawing tools for the first time and encouraged her to study hard as well as draw well.

B It’s 1:30 am in Kenya’s populated north, and 50 people are lying on their backs on the shore of a dried-up river, staring up at the night sky. These stargazers have travelled 250 miles to Samburu to witness the Perseid meteor shower(英仙座流星雨). They are not disappointed: Every few minutes, arrows of light shoot across the sky like silent fireworks. The Star Safari is organised by a Kenyan astronomer, Susan Murabana, who has brought a 50 kg,170 cm-long telescope to allow the group to view Mars and deep-sky objects. But here in Samburu, where light pollution is minimal, the Perseid meteors—visible with the naked eye (裸眼)—steal the show. Every two months, Murabana and her husband load their telescope on to the roof of their 4×4 and set off to rural communities, where they give up to 300 children a chance to view the planets and learn about constellations (星座) and the basics of astrophysics. They primarily targets schools in remote areas because of her mission to give girls an opportunity that she wishes had been available to her. “When I started this work, I didn’t see people who looked like me. I was a lone ranger and I wanted to change that.” says Murabana. “There is a common misconception in Kenya that astronomy in general is hard, boring, and only for boys,” she adds. “I’d like to teach young girls that astronomy is neither of these things and that they, too, can become astronomers,” says Murabana. Murabana’s passion for astronomy began in her early 20s when her uncle invited her to join a similar outreach session organized by the Cosmos Education. “That was a gamechanger. If an outreach group had come to me when I was a young teenager, my attitude towards a career in astronomy would have been positive. I ended up studying sociology and economics, but maybe I would have desired to be an astronomer,” she says.

C One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 8.

D Perhaps you know northern Americans still maintain the habit of celebrating Groundhog Day when a large groundhog (土拨鼠) checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar (毛毛虫) known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions? According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the caterpillar has 13 segments (昆虫的节/段) to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. Scientific studies on worm forecasting are rare. American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted a small trial in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder. Most scientists view the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just that, folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one — probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.” Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a caterpillar and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.” 12. How do people predict the weather through caterpillars? A. By analyzing their living habits. B. By measuring the change of their size. C. By calculating the number of their segments. D. By studying color bands on their bodies. 13. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on? A. His personal observations. B. An investigation on the locals. C. Studies by previous scientists. D. Statistics collected by the museum. 14. What is Joe Boggs’s attitude towards the folklore? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with? A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it. B. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather. C. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth. D. The caterpillar can help predict the severity of winter accurately. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.

When Amy didn’t respond, Bonnie went to her room, finding that Amy sat at her desk with her headphones on, drawing a picture. “Are you drawing those strange pictures again?” Bonnie yelled. “Have you finished your homework? Your teacher called me today and told me you’ve been ignoring her homework!” she shouted angrily. Minutes later, they began eating dinner in silence. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Bonnie answered the door to see a man standing outside. It turned out to be Mr. Henderson, a famous New York-based cartoonist. He explained to Amy he received a letter with some pieces of her artwork and was so impressed with her talent. In fact, he wrote Amy letters, but never got an answer. Then, Amy realized that her grandmother kept them hidden from her. “I’m here with an offer for Amy,” Mr. Henderson continued. “We are accepting applications for our arts training program this summer. I would personally teach the students the art of cartoons. For that, Amy needs to pass a test, and then she’ll have to spend her summer in New York learning under me. If everything goes well, she will be able to join my team later and seek her dream of art.” “Really?!” Amy was so excited. But Bonnie refused because she promised Amy’s late parents to raise her an educated person. Mr. Henderson sighed and pulled out a file from his bag, “It’s a test. I know your Granny is against it, kid. But if you manage to finish it and hand it over to me by 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, I can take it to my manager,” he added.
