When I was leaving here about ten years ago, I decided to go to college, which when I think about it is a little strange, because I come from a family where no one had ever gone to college. Everything I knew about college came from the movies. Once in college, I got a classic case of too much fun and too little class time. At the end of my second year, my major professor warned me “You are never going to graduate unless something big changes”. But it wasn’t until I entered my graduate program in Conservation Ecology that I felt I was on the right path. My conservation work has brought me joy, excitement and adventure. I’ve done some research in the remote mountains of California. I’ve had dinners with important politicians. I’ve even stepped over snakes in Africa. But most important of all, it gave me something bigger than myself to fight for. When I look back, I feel fortunate to have chosen college and particularly, Science, through which I have rediscovered myself and achieved liberation. And I’m sure you all can do the same. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 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 The best thing about coming-of-age movies is that you can watch them and get a better understanding of yourself today.

She longs for adventure, sophistication (教养) and opportunity, but find none of them in her Sacramento Catholic high school.(“Lady Bird”克里斯汀·麦克弗森是一名来自“社会底层”的高三学生。她渴望冒险、成熟和机会，但在萨克拉门托的天主教高中却找不到这些)”可知，麦克弗森认为她在萨克拉门托天主教高中的生活是令人失望的。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Boyhood中的“This is one of the few movies where you actually get to see the star grow up before your eyes. Richard Linklater filmed with actor Ellar Coltrane over a period of 12 years, a little at a time, and you can watch him go from a little kid to a young adult on screen.(这是为数不多的能让你亲眼看到明星成长的电影之一。Richard Linklater和演员Ellar Coltrane一起拍摄了12年，一次拍一点，你可以看到他在屏幕上从一个小孩变成一个年轻人)”可知，我们能在屏幕上看到Ellar Coltrane长大成人。故选B项。 23题详解】 细节理解题。根据18 Again!中的“Jack Watson is an eighty-one-year-old businessman. While out with his grandson David, they get into a car accident and when he wakes up, he discovers that he is now in David’s body, and David is in his body.

He had already had his first show at a local art center, displaying his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried (评审) exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That was when he had trouble, discovering in the application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG help promote young talents by displaying their works. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regarded him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin is busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 24. What do we know about Nalin from the first two paragraphs? A. He became a working artist at 13. B. Art experts sang high praise for his works. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. Teenagers’ growth was the theme of his works. 25. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To earn money to support his parents. B. To show artists’ talent through themed shows. C. To form the connection between different galleries. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 26. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Pioneering. B. Romantic. C. Popular. D. Incredible. 27. In which column of a magazine is this text most likely to appear? A. Figure. B. Opinion. C. Culture. D. Lifestyle. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了少年艺术家Nalin Kamat在遇到参赛年龄限制后，创建Little EGG Gallery以展示年轻人才艺的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist.(到13岁时，多伦多的青少年Nalin Kamat已经走在成为职业艺术家的路上)”及第二段“Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That was when he had trouble, discovering in the application that the minimum age for submission was 18(然而他想要更多——具体来说，就是开始参加评审展览，在那里一组艺术专家将通过竞争性审查程序评估并选择作品。那时他遇到了困难，在申请中发现提交作品的最低年龄要求是18岁)”可知，Nalin Kamat因为年龄问题而被取消了参加评审展览的资格。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG help promote young talents by displaying their works.(“我觉得如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供这样的机会，那会非常酷。”现在15岁的Nalin说道。在父母的支持下，2023年1月，Nalin创办了Little EGG Gallery，如今它已经能够通过收取少量的挂画费用来维持运营。反过来，Little EGG通过展示他们的作品来帮助推广年轻人才)”可知，他创办Little EGG Gallery的目的是为了给年轻艺术家提供一个展示才华的舞台。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Griffin regarded him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void in the art world.(Griffin认为他是一个特别的人：“一位强大的年轻艺术家，有着非常出色的想法——创造一个空间来展示年轻人的自然天赋。这是艺术界的一片空白”)”可知，Nalin的想法填补了艺术界的一个空白，故他的想法是开创性的。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全篇，文章主要讲述了少年艺术家Nalin Kamat在遇到参赛年龄限制后，创建Little EGG Gallery以展示年轻人才艺的故事，最可能出现在杂志的人物专栏。故选A。 C A new form of house is popping up along the beaches of South Africa -tiny white beach nests (巢). They are just big enough to fit a family of African penguins. Their unique selling point: a safe and cool place for penguins to breed (繁殖). African penguins grow strong in the cold currents of the South Atlantic Ocean. But when they come to land, their thick black coat absorbs the heat, and they desperately look for cover — both for themselves and their eggs. Historically, the penguins dug holes in layers of guano (海鸟粪层), but in the 1800s, traders started selling guano as fertilizer (肥料), leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly exposed to hunters and the burning sun. This, combined with other threats such as egg hunting, overfishing and climate change, has caused African penguin populations to decline sharply. That’s why conservationists have come to the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Project (APNP), which aims to build artificial nests to give penguin parents a safe and shaded place to raise their babies. Although guano 0trade gradually disappeared, recreating the layers isn’t easy. Seabird populations have declined so much over time, so there are simply not enough birds to recreate it, says Kevin Graham, director of the project. Instead, the project decided to build artificial nests. The design took years to develop, as Graham and other scientists closely studied old guano nests and worked out how best to copy “Mother Nature”. Getting the right temperature and humidity, the nests create an air conditioning effect. “The project started to build the nests in 2018 and the nests have usage rates of at least 99%,” he explains. Graham agrees that population recovery depends on more than just giving African penguins a safe place to breed. It’s not simply a case of “we give them a nest, the species is saved,” he says. “It’s a big part of it, but there has to be more.” 28. What can we learn about earlier penguins? A. Their eggs were often eaten by seabirds. B. They were traded in markets in the 1800s. C. Their waste was used as excellent fertilizer. D. They used guano layers to house themselves. 29. Why was the APNP started? A. To fight against egg hunting B. To offer penguins a shelter to live and breed. C. To call on people to rescue injured penguins. D. To build artificial nests to save endangered seabirds. 30. Why is it difficult to have natural nests for penguins? A. There isn’t enough guano. B. The land space is too limited. C. The temperature is too low. D. There are too many penguins. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To call for the protection of penguins. B. To introduce a new nest for African penguins. C. To promote the African Penguin Nest Project. D. To compare penguins’ natural and artificial nests. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南非海滩上出现的一种新型房屋——专为非洲企鹅设计的白色小海滩巢穴，以及这一项目（非洲企鹅巢穴项目）的背景、目的、设计和实施效果。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Historically, the penguins dug holes in layers of guano (海鸟粪层), but in the 1800s, traders started selling guano as fertilizer (肥料), leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly exposed to hunters and the burning sun.(从历史上看，企鹅在鸟粪层中挖洞，但在19世纪，商人开始出售鸟粪作为肥料，使企鹅和它们的蛋越来越多地暴露在猎人和烈日下)”可知，早期的企鹅用鸟粪层来筑巢。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“That’s why conservationists have come to the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Project (APNP), which aims to build artificial nests to give penguin parents a safe and shaded place to raise their babies.(这就是为什么自然资源保护主义者发起了非洲企鹅巢项目（APNP），该项目旨在建造人工巢穴，为企鹅父母提供一个安全、阴凉的地方来抚养他们的孩子)”可知，启动APNP是为了为企鹅提供栖息和繁殖的地方。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Although guano 0trade gradually disappeared, recreating the layers isn’t easy. Seabird populations have declined so much over time, so there are simply not enough birds to recreate it, says Kevin Graham, director of the project.(虽然鸟粪贸易逐渐消失，但重建这些层并不容易。该项目负责人凯文·格雷厄姆（Kevin Graham）说，随着时间的推移，海鸟数量大幅减少，因此根本没有足够的鸟类来重建它)”可知，没有足够的鸟粪，所以企鹅很难有天然的巢穴。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new form of house is popping up along the beaches of South Africa — tiny white beach nests (巢). They are just big enough to fit a family of African penguins. Their unique selling point: a safe and cool place for penguins to breed (繁殖).(南非海滩上出现了一种新型房屋——小小的白色海滩巢。它们的大小刚好能容下一个非洲企鹅家族。它们独特的卖点是：一个安全凉爽的地方供企鹅繁殖)”以及纵观全文可推知，本文的目的是介绍非洲企鹅的一种新巢穴。故选B项。 D Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication. Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys (绢毛猴) use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of their daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva (红檀香), which is well known for its medical properties. Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫). While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species to improve their health. This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals. 32. Why did tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree? A. They did this to help their digestion. B. They were attracting companions’ attention. C. They were trying to keep themselves healthy. D. They regarded the tree as part of their territory. 33. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the research? A. The purpose. B. The method C. The process. D. The findings. 34. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The resin. B. Self-medication. C. Cabreuva. D. A drugstore. 35. What is the possible significance of the discovery according to the text? A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Contributing to forest conservation. C. Developing new medicine from resin. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ health. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家发现绢毛猴使用一种红檀香树的树脂来作为治疗用药，这一发现对于树木保护具有重要意义。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“During one of their daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva(红檀香), which is well known for its medical properties.(在他们的一项日常研究中，观察到绢毛猴在一棵树干上摩擦身体。起初，研究人员认为它们在标记自己的领地，这是该物种的一种常见行为。植物学专家后来证实，这棵树是红檀香的一种，红檀香以其药用特性而闻名。)”可知，绢毛猴在红檀香树上摩擦身体，而这种树具有药用特性，由此可推测出，它们这样做是为了保持健康。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).(令人惊讶的是，记录显示，许多生活在森林里的动物都来过这里。总共观察到10种动物。对于它们中的许多来说，这是第一次观察到类似于自我用药的行为。更令人惊讶的是，一个物种成对地在彼此的皮毛上涂上树脂。一般来说，该物种似乎专门访问树木以获取树脂，并似乎从中受益，要么治愈伤口，要么击退寄生虫。)”可知，本段主要讲述了摄像机观察到的情况，侧重点在于研究的结果。故选D。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据句中的“While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication(虽然需要进一步的研究来确定树脂的性质，从而证实这确实是自我用药)”和画线词前的“the use of”可推测出，这里指树脂的使用，it指代的是前面提到的the resin。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.(这一发现可能具有重要的保护作用，因为一些树木的消失可能会影响一些动物的生存。)”可知，一些树木的消失可能会影响一些动物的生存，所以可推测出，研究人员的发现对森林的保护具有重要意义。故选B。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Time and money are life’s most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money” is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay (Advice to a Young Tradesman.1748) ____36____ He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different ways. Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ____37____ In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else. ____38____ Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores. Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not. ____39____ However, when people are made aware of their mortality (生命的有限), they wonder if they did make the most of their lives. In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. ____40____ They do their best to think of their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value. Knowing that time is limited encourages us to ask how we are using our time. Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time so the more time you spend on them, the more you improve. A. It cannot be bought at any price. B. It means time is a valuable resource. C. The value of time varies from person to person. D. Some people fail to realize that time is scarce E. Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time. F. You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event. G. Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. C 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。时间和金钱是生命中最宝贵的资源，文章引用本杰明·富兰克林的观点，详细阐述了时间是一种宝贵的资源。 【36题详解】 根据上文“One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money.(经济学一条伟大定律是时间等于金钱)”及下文“He encouraged people to treat time like money.(他鼓励人们把时间当作金钱来对待)”可知，经济学认为时间就是金钱，设空处承上启下，B选项“It means time is a valuable resource.(这意味着时间是一种宝贵的资源)”符合题意。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.(时间是我们最稀缺的资源。无论贫穷还是富有，我们都有一天24小时，一周7天)”以及后文“In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.(在一个稀缺的世界里，选择一件事就意味着不能做其他的事)”可知，此处讲述时间稀缺，应该如何选择度过，所以E项“Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time.(因此，我们每个人都面临着如何度过时间的选择)”符合本段主题，和前文构成因果关系。故选E项。 【38题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores.(对于收入高的人来说，时间相对来说是稀缺的，部分原因是他们的时间更有价值。所以，为了有更多的时间，富人会雇人帮他们做家务。然而，一个不工作的人可能会花更多的时间在家务上)”可知，本段主要讲述了每个人的时间价值不同，所以C项“The value of time varies from person to person.(时间的价值因人而异)”符合本段主题，为中心句。故选C项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not.(时间是无法储存的。我们很少考虑如何使用有限的资源的原因之一是我们无法储存时间。不管我们是否愿意花时间，时间都在流逝)”可知，此处讲述时间无法储存，所以F项“You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event.(你不能把时间装在瓶子里，然后用它来交换一个对象或事件)”符合本段主题。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive.(总之，时间绝不是免费的。时间作为一种不可再生资源，是非常昂贵的)”以及后文“They do their best to think of their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value.(他们竭力认为自己的时间是无限的，而无限的商品几乎没有价值)”可知，前文讲述时间的宝贵，后文讲述有人竭力认为自己的时间是无限的，所以空处应是一个转折句，D项“Some people fail to realize that time is scarce.(有些人没有意识到时间是宝贵的)”符合文意，承接上文，引出下文。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Soon after my arrival in Luanda.

Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly. It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others’ reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn’t say anything. In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “What’s that for?” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn’t hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad. After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up. Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. “I’m Joan, ” she said cheerfully, “Glad to meet you. ” Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration, “You’ve written a poem! That’s so artistic!” Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture. “The first flowers of spring!” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour!” she said. Clearly, Joan’s praise added great power into Maya. 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。 In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked, “What’s it like being in a wheelchair?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In a sudden wave of bravery Maya asked, “What’s it like being in a wheelchair?” “It helps me get around,” Joan said simply. Then, grinning, she added, “You’d be surprised at how fast I can go in this thing!” Right then, she moved the wheelchair across the room, turning around, back and forth. And what surprised Maya most was that she didn’t detect any pity or embarrassment from her. Then Maya looked up and found Joan was smiling, eyes purposefully resting on her brace. It was then that a spark of power was lit up deep inside Maya. That afternoon, the three of them had a pleasant talk over lots of things until it was dusk. Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. “Joan is great. I like her.” Samir admired. Maya nodded, lost in thought. With Joan’s wheelchair and smile in mind, she summoned up her courage and said, “The brace keeps my toe up so I can walk better.” “Really?” Samir looked amazed, reached out and touched it gently. “That’s super cool!” His words were so sincere that Maya felt warm and moved. It was a reaction that she expected deep inside her heart. Though it was autumn outside, it felt like spring for Maya. A little green bud was bursting — she and her brace looked cool, beautiful and dynamic in her and others’ eyes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了玛雅因为需要依靠腿支架才能走得更稳定、更平稳而觉得尴尬，她不搭理注意到她的支架的萨米尔，令萨米尔有点伤心，在养老院的活动中，玛雅和坐轮椅但依旧乐观的萨米尔互动交流后，心态有所改善，离开养老院，乘车回家途中玛雅主动告诉萨米尔她的支架的作用，俩人有了真诚的交流，萨米尔没有嘲笑她的支架。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“玛雅突然鼓起勇气问道：“坐在轮椅上是什么感觉？”可知，第一段可描写玛雅与坐轮椅的琼的交流使玛雅心态的改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“琼给玛雅留下了深刻的印象，她主动提出在回家的公交车上坐在萨米尔旁边。”可知，第二段可描写玛雅与萨米尔在回家途中的聊天，以及知道支架功能后萨米尔的反映让玛雅明白了萨米尔的真诚。 2.续写线索：去养老院看望老奶奶琼——得知琼坐轮椅的积极心态后的改变——主动告知萨米尔实情——萨米尔的真诚态度温暖了玛雅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.觉察到：detect /notice ②.鼓足勇气：summon up one’s courage / muster (up) one's courage ③.期待：expect/look forward to 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：amazed /surprised ②.真诚的：sincere/ genuine 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried (评审) exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That was when he had trouble, discovering in the application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG help promote young talents by displaying their works. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regarded him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin is busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 24. What do we know about Nalin from the first two paragraphs? A. He became a working artist at 13. B. Art experts sang high praise for his works. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. Teenagers’ growth was the theme of his works. 25. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To earn money to support his parents. B. To show artists’ talent through themed shows. C. To form the connection between different galleries. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 26. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Pioneering. B. Romantic. C. Popular. D. Incredible. 27. In which column of a magazine is this text most likely to appear? A. Figure. B. Opinion. C. Culture. D. Lifestyle. C A new form of house is popping up along the beaches of South Africa -tiny white beach nests (巢). They are just big enough to fit a family of African penguins. Their unique selling point: a safe and cool place for penguins to breed (繁殖). African penguins grow strong in the cold currents of the South Atlantic Ocean. But when they come to land, their thick black coat absorbs the heat, and they desperately look for cover — both for themselves and their eggs. Historically, the penguins dug holes in layers of guano (海鸟粪层), but in the 1800s, traders started selling guano as fertilizer (肥料), leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly exposed to hunters and the burning sun. This, combined with other threats such as egg hunting, overfishing and climate change, has caused African penguin populations to decline sharply. That’s why conservationists have come to the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Project (APNP), which aims to build artificial nests to give penguin parents a safe and shaded place to raise their babies. Although guano 0trade gradually disappeared, recreating the layers isn’t easy. Seabird populations have declined so much over time, so there are simply not enough birds to recreate it, says Kevin Graham, director of the project. Instead, the project decided to build artificial nests. The design took years to develop, as Graham and other scientists closely studied old guano nests and worked out how best to copy “Mother Nature”. Getting the right temperature and humidity, the nests create an air conditioning effect. “The project started to build the nests in 2018 and the nests have usage rates of at least 99%,” he explains. Graham agrees that population recovery depends on more than just giving African penguins a safe place to breed. It’s not simply a case of “we give them a nest, the species is saved,” he says. “It’s a big part of it, but there has to be more.” 28. What can we learn about earlier penguins? A. Their eggs were often eaten by seabirds. B. They were traded in markets in the 1800s. C. Their waste was used as excellent fertilizer. D. They used guano layers to house themselves. 29. Why was the APNP started? A. To fight against egg hunting B. To offer penguins a shelter to live and breed. C. To call on people to rescue injured penguins. D. To build artificial nests to save endangered seabirds. 30. Why is it difficult to have natural nests for penguins? A. There isn’t enough guano. B. The land space is too limited. C. The temperature is too low. D. There are too many penguins. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To call for the protection of penguins. B. To introduce a new nest for African penguins. C. To promote the African Penguin Nest Project. D. To compare penguins’ natural and artificial nests. D Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication. Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys (绢毛猴) use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of their daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva (红檀香), which is well known for its medical properties. Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫). While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species to improve their health. This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals. 32. Why did tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree? A. They did this to help their digestion. B. They were attracting companions’ attention. C. They were trying to keep themselves healthy. D. They regarded the tree as part of their territory. 33. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the research? A. The purpose. B. The method C. The process. D. The findings. 34. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The resin. B. Self-medication. C. Cabreuva. D. A drugstore. 35. What is the possible significance of the discovery according to the text? A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Contributing to forest conservation. C. Developing new medicine from resin. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ health. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Time and money are life’s most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money” is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay (Advice to a Young Tradesman.1748) ____36____ He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different ways. Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ____37____ In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else. ____38____ Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores. Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not. ____39____ However, when people are made aware of their mortality (生命的有限), they wonder if they did make the most of their lives. In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. ____40____ They do their best to think of their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value. Knowing that time is limited encourages us to ask how we are using our time. Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time so the more time you spend on them, the more you improve. A. It cannot be bought at any price. B It means time is a valuable resource. C. The value of time varies from person to person. D. Some people fail to realize that time is scarce E. Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time. F You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event. G. Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Soon after my arrival in Luanda.

Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly. It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others’ reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn’t say anything. In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “What’s that for?” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn’t hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad. After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up. Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. “I’m Joan, ” she said cheerfully, “Glad to meet you. ” Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration, “You’ve written a poem! That’s so artistic!” Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture. “The first flowers of spring!” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour!” she said. Clearly, Joan’s praise added great power into Maya. 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。 In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked, “What’s it like being in a wheelchair?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
