With the right planning and maximization of available resources, traveling as a college student may be easier than you think. Chengdu, China If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there’s no better city to hit than Chengdu. It is home to pandas and spicy things. Moreover, the city’s abundance of cultural and historical sights, together with its laid-back lifestyle, make itself one of the most attractive and livable large cities too. Past travelers have spent, on average,￥158 on meals and about a quarter of that on local transportation for one day. Con Dao Island, Vietnam Tourism is picking up in Vietnam lately, where you can travel for about ￥100 per day if you play your cards right. Con Dao Island Nation Park, a group of dramatic tiny islands off the southern coast, is a great destination to see sea turtles and other wildlife while exploring the area on foot. Its thick jungle will give you a good chance to uncover a paradise of your own. Zakynthos Island, Greece If you’re looking for an affordable European summer beach vacation, consider Zakynthos Island. Food is cheap and mouthwatering. There are plenty of free things to do, although the favorite is spending time on the beautiful beaches edged by electric blue water. There are countless options for swimming in the appealing sea, along with charming villages and museums to explore. New Orleans, U. S. New Orleans is an incredibly unique place in the U.S., full of fascinating history, absorbing culture, delicious food, and a constantly buzzing nightlife scene. There are actually a couple of hostels in and near the French Quarter that offer reasonable accommodation rates for students. 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了一些价格亲民的旅游地，帮助人们花最少的钱实现旅游。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Past travelers have spent, on average,￥158 on meals and about a quarter of that on local transportation for one day.”（过去的游客平均每天在餐费上花费158元，大概约四分之一用于当地交通。）可知，游客在成都旅行在餐食和交通上平均花费约158+39.5=197.9元，约200元。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Con Dao Island Nation Park, a group of dramatic tiny islands off the southern coast, is a great destination to see sea turtles and other wildlife while exploring the area on foot.”（孔岛国家公园是南部海岸附近的一组引人注目的小岛，是徒步探索该地区时看到海龟和其他野生动物的好去处。）及第四段第二句“There are plenty of free things to do, although the favorite is spending time on the beautiful beaches edged by electric blue water.”（这里有很多免费的事情可以做，尽管最受欢迎的是在蔚蓝的海水边美丽的海滩上度过时光。）可知，两地都可以看到迷人的海景。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“There are actually a couple of hostels in and near the French Quarter that offer reasonable accommodation rates for students.”（实际上，在法国区及其附近有几家旅馆，为学生提供合理的住宿价格。）可知，对于学生来说，该地有一些价格合理的旅馆。故选C项。 B Georgia, who works for a popular fashion store in the UK named Bows Boutique, left her purse at a gas station after her company party in early December. She was heartbroken, but thinking someone must have taken it away, she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn’t phone the station to ask about it. But her tears quickly dried when an off-duty firefighter named Nyma showed up at her door. A ring camera caught Georgia and Nyma’s exchange, and the owner of Bows Boutique posted the video on the store’s Instagram page. In it, Nyma rings her doorbell and Georgia answers it using a phone app. Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house, so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic. Georgia was moved to tears and kept offering to send Nyma money for his good deed, but he refused. He simply asked her to pay it forward, and explained that it was no trouble for him though Georgia knew he needed to drive hours to her house. Because she wasn’t home at the time, he left the purse in an empty garbage bag and left. The owner and Georgia were so touched by the gesture, and they started a search for the mystery man so they could give him a proper “thank you”. Georgia uploaded the video. It didn’t take long to find him. They invited him to the store for an official meet — and he went. “He is such a kind man,” reads another post. “It was an absolute pleasure to meet him. The video has got millions of views and we hope he will be a positive influence on many. ” 4. How did Georgia respond when realizing she lost her purse? A. She did nothing to recover it. B. She made a phone call to the station. C. She planned to go back to look for it. D. She believed someone would send it to her. 5. Which can best describe Nyma? A. Devoted and generous. B. Energetic and independent. C. Honest and considerate. D. Responsible and hard-working. 6. What did Nyma advise Georgia to do? A. Pass on the kindness. B. Be more careful next time. C. Meet at the gas station for safety. D. Empty the garbage bag for her purse. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Two Strangers Meet for the First Time B. An Unexpected Meet with a Firefighter C. A Moving Journey Recorded on Social Media D. A Firefighter Drives Hours to Return a Purse 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了消防员Nyma不辞辛劳地将捡到的钱包归还给失主Georgia的感人故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“but thinking someone must have taken it away, she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn’t phone the station to ask about it.(但她认为一定是有人把它拿走了，于是她放弃了回去找的想法，也没有给加油站打电话询问。)”可知，Georgia并没有采取任何行动去找回她的钱包。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house, so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic.(Nyma解释了他是在哪里找到丢失的钱包的，并说他决定直接开车到她家去，这样她就不必再经历一丝恐慌。)”和文章第三段“Georgia was moved to tears and kept offering to send Nyma money for his good deed, but he refused. He simply asked her to pay it forward, and explained that it was no trouble for him though Georgia knew he needed to drive hours to her house.(Georgia感动得流下了眼泪，并一直提出要给Nyma钱以感谢他的善举，但他拒绝了。他只是让她将这份善良传递下去，并解释说这对他来说没什么麻烦，尽管Georgia知道他需要开车数小时才能到达她家。)”可知，Nyma不辞辛劳地开车数小时将捡到的钱包归还给Georgia，并且在Georgia要给他钱时他拒绝了，只是让她将这份善良传递下去，这说明Nyma是一个诚实且体贴的人。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“He simply asked her to pay it forward.(他只是让她将这份善良传递下去。)”可知，Nyma建议Georgia传递善良。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house, so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic.(尼玛解释了他在哪里找到丢失的钱包，并说他决定直接开车去她家，这样她就不用再经历额外的恐慌了)”可知，文章主要讲述了消防员Nyma不辞辛劳地开车数小时将捡到的钱包归还给失主Georgia的感人故事，所以选项D“一名消防员开车数小时去还一个钱包”能够概括文章主旨，是本文最好的标题。故选D。 C I’ve started to hate traveling. When my friends heard me say that, they were all shocked and confused, because I’m an absolute travel fanatic. It’s not that I dislike traveling itself; rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism. What I hate most during every trip is hearing, “This place is perfect for photos, take a few for me.” It seems our travels have become nothing more than check-ins and photo sessions. Traveling is no longer about admiring scenery, marveling at the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, or experiencing new lifestyles. Instead, I see crowds of people snapping pictures and checking off locations, hardly anyone pausing to genuinely soak in the sights and experiences with their own eyes and hearts. The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check-in spots and completing the task of “checking in”. Travel has changed, and so have many aspects of our lives. We experience too little genuine joy within. I’ve asked my students why they study, and almost all of them answer that it’s to be admitted into a good university, seek a good job, and earn a lot of money. I don’t think these are wrong or even unnecessary aspirations, but where is our inner happiness and peace? When will we be able to travel for the sake of traveling, to learn for the sake of learning, to go shopping for the sake of going shopping and to preserve our authenticity? After all, we are human beings. How many of us are living day-to-day, going through the motions, turning life into a chore, a mere existence? We still have “poetry and distant horizons” to pursue. We must strive for what truly defines us as human, or we risk losing our humanity. 8. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “fanatic” in paragraph 1? A. Journalist. B. Psychologist. C. Enthusiast. D. Artist. 9. What is the author’s main reason for hating traveling nowadays? A. The inconvenience of modern transportation. B. The increasing cost of traveling. C. The overcrowding of tourist attractions. D. The shift in people’s perception of traveling. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the “modern travel trilogy”? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous. 11. What does the author imply in the passage? A. The author regrets becoming a travel fanatic. B. Modern society has lost touch with genuine experiences. C. Traveling is no longer an enjoyable activity. D. The purpose of traveling has shifted to social media. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论了作者对现代旅行目的与方式的不满，并探讨了人们在现代社会中缺乏真实体验的问题。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“I’ve started to hate traveling. When my friends heard me say that, they were all shocked and confused(我开始讨厌旅行了。当我的朋友们听到我这么说时，他们都很震惊和困惑)”说明朋友对作者讨厌旅行的说法感到震惊和困惑，因为作者非常热爱旅行，从而推知“because I’m an absolute travel fanatic(因为我是一个绝对的旅行fanatic)”中划线词fanatic应为“狂热者，爱好者”的意思，与C项同义。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It’s not that I dislike traveling itself; rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism.(并不是我不喜欢旅行本身；相反，我不喜欢现代人给它的新定义，这是对旅游业的一种根本错误的理解。)”和第二段“Traveling is no longer about admiring scenery, marveling at the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, or experiencing new lifestyles. Instead, I see crowds of people snapping pictures and checking off locations, hardly anyone pausing to genuinely soak in the sights and experiences with their own eyes and hearts. The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check- in spots and completing the task of ‘checking in’.(旅行不再是欣赏风景，惊叹祖国的壮丽景色，或者体验新的生活方式。相反，我看到的是一大群人在拍照和查看地点，几乎没有人停下来真正沉浸在他们自己的眼睛和心灵的风景和经历中。曾经诗意的旅程已经变成了所谓的现代旅行三部曲：走近，拍照，离开。现在旅行的唯一目的似乎就是在社交媒体上发帖子，向大家炫耀，让自己沉浸在一个完全由自己的帖子构建的世界里。旅行的目的已经转变为仅仅是参观签到点，完成‘签到’的任务。)”可知，作者现在讨厌旅行的主要原因是人们对旅行观念的转变。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s not that I dislike traveling itself; rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism.(并不是我不喜欢旅行本身;相反，我不喜欢现代人给它的新定义，这是对旅游业的一种根本错误的理解。)”以及第二段中“The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check- in spots and completing the task of ‘checking in’.(曾经诗意的旅程已经变成了所谓的现代旅行三部曲：走近，拍照，离开。现在旅行的唯一目的似乎就是在社交媒体上发帖子，向大家炫耀，让自己沉浸在一个完全由自己的帖子构建的世界里。旅行的目的已经转变为仅仅是参观签到点，完成‘签到’的任务。)”可知，作者对“现代旅行三部曲”持不赞成的态度。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check-in spots and completing the task of ‘checking in’.(现在旅行的唯一目的似乎就是在社交媒体上发帖子，向大家炫耀，让自己沉浸在一个完全由自己的帖子构建的世界里。旅行的目的已经转变为仅仅是参观签到点，完成‘签到’的任务。)”可知，作者在文章中暗示了旅行的目的已经转向了社交媒体。故选D项。 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. 12. 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. 13 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. 14. 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. 15. 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】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. 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。 【12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。 【13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。 【14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。 【15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。 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。 How to Fall Back in Love with Reading Do you remember the last time you spent time reading books for pleasure?

Recently, a survey was conducted about which matters more, one’s major or university. As it turns out, 48 percent believe the university plays a more important role in shaping their future. However, 33 percent argue one’s major matters more. Still, 19% have ambiguous thoughts yet. As far as I’m concerned, university and major are of equal importance. With access to academic training, lectures and experiences of different clubs in university, an excellent university brings many unseen benefits. Meanwhile, different majors will lead to different career paths which ultimately contribute to different incomes. All in all, no matter which university or major we are in, trying to learn more knowledge and skills is the key to a better future. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图表作文。要求考生使用图表中的调查结果写一篇短文并投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 实施：conduct→carry out 最后：ultimately→finally 总之：all in all→in short 重要：be of importance→vital 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：With access to academic training, lectures and experiences of different clubs in university, an excellent university brings many unseen benefits. 拓展句：An excellent university brings many unseen benefits, which include academic training, lectures and experiences of different clubs. 【点睛】[高分句型1] As it turns out, 48 percent believe the university plays a more important role in shaping their future.

The doctors talked about the potential side effects of the drugs that might occur over the next two years of treatment. When our parents told our sister she had cancer, her biggest concern was losing her hair. “Will all my hair really fall out? Will people make fun of me?” she asked, her voice filled with worry. “Don’t worry,” I later told her in secret. “When you lose your hair, I’ll shave mine with a razor (剃刀) and we’ll both be bald (秃头的). We’ ll walk down the street proudly with our bald heads held high. We’ll swim, go to parks and play at the beach with our bald heads.” “Promise?” she asked. “Promise,” I replied, thinking it was a small sacrifice (牺牲) as long as it could cheer her and help her recover. The days and weeks of treatment began to affect her little body. As the doctors had warned, she began to lose her hair. At first, I found some on her clothes and towels. A short time later, I found her hair on the backs of the sofas and chairs she’d been on. Before long, there were masses of hair on her pillow every morning as she awoke from her restless sleep. A few days later, she was finally completely bald. Her head was very smooth and soft as I held her. It reminded me of that wonderful time when I held her in my arms and was amazed at how lucky I was to have such a beautiful and healthy baby sister. Her bald head was beautiful, but it also showed the signs of her battle with cancer. One afternoon at home, I thought it was time to shave my head. However, it was then that I began seriously worrying about something. How ugly would I become when I was bald? Would my parents — who always encouraged us to maintain a certain image — scold (责备) me for having my head shaved? Would people, especially my classmates, make fun of me? 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。 I was looking at myself in the mirror when my sister approached. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “It’s beautiful. Please also help shave our heads,” our parents smiled. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was looking at myself in the mirror when my sister approached. Her big, innocent eyes searched my face, filled with both curiosity and a hint of admiration. “Are you really going to do it?” she asked softly, her voice breaking the silence. I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of fear and determination. “Yes, I am,” I replied, forcing a smile. “She clapped her hands and squealed, “We’ll be twins!” The first few strokes felt strange, but with each pass of the razor, I felt lighter, as if I were shedding not just my hair, but also my fears and insecurities. “It’s beautiful. Please also help shave our heads,” our parents smiled. Their approval warmed my heart, and I could see the love in their eyes as they watched this moment unfold. As we stood in front of the mirror, I realized that our bald heads symbolized more than just a physical change; they represented our unity and strength in facing her battle against cancer. We were not just a family; we were warriors, ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead, side by side. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的妹妹在癌症治疗期间，妹妹的头发脱落严重，她开始担心自己会不会掉光头发，会不会被人取笑。为了安慰妹妹，作者以及父母承诺会剃光头发，一起面对困境的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我妹妹走近时，我正在照镜子。”可知，第一段可描写作者剃头发的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“这是美丽的。也请帮我们剃光头吧，父母笑着说。”可知，第二段可描写作者一家人为了妹妹都剃了头发以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：作者正在照镜子——妹妹问作者是否真的剃头发——作者剃头发的经过——父母也决定加入进来——最终看到的情形——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①承担：take on/undertake ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③代表：represent/be on behalf of 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/scare ②感觉轻松：feel light/feel relaxed 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Georgia, who works for a popular fashion store in the UK named Bows Boutique, left her purse at a gas station after her company party in early December. She was heartbroken, but thinking someone must have taken it away, she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn’t phone the station to ask about it. But her tears quickly dried when an off-duty firefighter named Nyma showed up at her door. A ring camera caught Georgia and Nyma’s exchange, and the owner of Bows Boutique posted the video on the store’s Instagram page. In it, Nyma rings her doorbell and Georgia answers it using a phone app. Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house, so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic. Georgia was moved to tears and kept offering to send Nyma money for his good deed, but he refused. He simply asked her to pay it forward, and explained that it was no trouble for him though Georgia knew he needed to drive hours to her house. Because she wasn’t home at the time, he left the purse in an empty garbage bag and left. The owner and Georgia were so touched by the gesture, and they started a search for the mystery man so they could give him a proper “thank you”. Georgia uploaded the video. It didn’t take long to find him. They invited him to the store for an official meet — and he went. “He is such a kind man,” reads another post. “It was an absolute pleasure to meet him. The video has got millions of views and we hope he will be a positive influence on many. ” 4. How did Georgia respond when realizing she lost her purse? A. She did nothing to recover it. B. She made a phone call to the station. C. She planned to go back to look for it. D. She believed someone would send it to her. 5. Which can best describe Nyma? A. Devoted and generous. B. Energetic and independent. C. Honest and considerate. D. Responsible and hard-working. 6. What did Nyma advise Georgia to do? A. Pass on the kindness. B. Be more careful next time. C. Meet at the gas station for safety. D. Empty the garbage bag for her purse. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Two Strangers Meet for the First Time B. An Unexpected Meet with a Firefighter C A Moving Journey Recorded on Social Media D. A Firefighter Drives Hours to Return a Purse C I’ve started to hate traveling. When my friends heard me say that, they were all shocked and confused, because I’m an absolute travel fanatic. It’s not that I dislike traveling itself; rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism. What I hate most during every trip is hearing, “This place is perfect for photos, take a few for me.” It seems our travels have become nothing more than check-ins and photo sessions. Traveling is no longer about admiring scenery, marveling at the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, or experiencing new lifestyles. Instead, I see crowds of people snapping pictures and checking off locations, hardly anyone pausing to genuinely soak in the sights and experiences with their own eyes and hearts. The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check-in spots and completing the task of “checking in”. Travel has changed, and so have many aspects of our lives. We experience too little genuine joy within. I’ve asked my students why they study, and almost all of them answer that it’s to be admitted into a good university, seek a good job, and earn a lot of money. I don’t think these are wrong or even unnecessary aspirations, but where is our inner happiness and peace? When will we be able to travel for the sake of traveling, to learn for the sake of learning, to go shopping for the sake of going shopping and to preserve our authenticity? After all, we are human beings. How many of us are living day-to-day, going through the motions, turning life into a chore, a mere existence? We still have “poetry and distant horizons” to pursue. We must strive for what truly defines us as human, or we risk losing our humanity. 8. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “fanatic” in paragraph 1? A. Journalist. B. Psychologist. C. Enthusiast. D. Artist. 9. What is the author’s main reason for hating traveling nowadays? A. The inconvenience of modern transportation. B. The increasing cost of traveling. C. The overcrowding of tourist attractions. D. The shift in people’s perception of traveling. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the “modern travel trilogy”? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous. 11. What does the author imply in the passage? A. The author regrets becoming a travel fanatic. B. Modern society has lost touch with genuine experiences. C. Traveling is no longer an enjoyable activity. D. The purpose of traveling has shifted to social media. 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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. 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。 How to Fall Back in Love with Reading Do you remember the last time you spent time reading books for pleasure?

The doctors talked about the potential side effects of the drugs that might occur over the next two years of treatment. When our parents told our sister she had cancer, her biggest concern was losing her hair. “Will all my hair really fall out? Will people make fun of me?” she asked, her voice filled with worry. “Don’t worry,” I later told her in secret. “When you lose your hair, I’ll shave mine with a razor (剃刀) and we’ll both be bald (秃头的). We’ ll walk down the street proudly with our bald heads held high. We’ll swim, go to parks and play at the beach with our bald heads.” “Promise?” she asked. “Promise,” I replied, thinking it was a small sacrifice (牺牲) as long as it could cheer her and help her recover. The days and weeks of treatment began to affect her little body. As the doctors had warned, she began to lose her hair. At first, I found some on her clothes and towels. A short time later, I found her hair on the backs of the sofas and chairs she’d been on. Before long, there were masses of hair on her pillow every morning as she awoke from her restless sleep. A few days later, she was finally completely bald. Her head was very smooth and soft as I held her. It reminded me of that wonderful time when I held her in my arms and was amazed at how lucky I was to have such a beautiful and healthy baby sister. Her bald head was beautiful, but it also showed the signs of her battle with cancer. One afternoon at home, I thought it was time to shave my head. However, it was then that I began seriously worrying about something. How ugly would I become when I was bald? Would my parents — who always encouraged us to maintain a certain image — scold (责备) me for having my head shaved? Would people, especially my classmates, make fun of me? 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。 I was looking at myself in the mirror when my sister approached. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “It’s beautiful. Please also help shave our heads,” our parents smiled. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 CCABA 6—10 ABABC 11—15 BCABA 16—20 CBBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
