From animated (动画的) comedies to workplace satire. Check out some of the funniest shows you can’t miss out on. Night Court Melissa Rauch, John Larroquette and their Night Court co-stars are making a comeback to the screen. Fans got a taste of what’s to come in a special holiday episode, which aired days before the season 2 premiere (首映) on Feb.7. The festive episode saw Rauch’s Judge Abby Stone and Larroquette’s Dan Fielding — whom he also played in the original series — dressing up as Santa Claus and an elf to avoid spoiling one little girl’s Christmas. Not Dead Yet Gina Rodriguez is continuing her role as obituary writer Nell (讣告) Serrano, who discovers she can see the newly dead people about whom she’s assigned to write. In its second season, which premieres on Jan.2, Not Dead Yet is sure to come back with more hauntingly funny performances from the main cast and guest ghosts. Grimsburg Fox’s new animated series, Grimsburg, was already renewed for a second season more than a year before its season 1 premiere on Jan. 7. Jon Hamm voices the sitcom’s central character Marvin Flute, who is the leading detective in the fictional town of Grimsburg. Hamm talked about his new role on The Tonight Show, explaining that while Marvin Flute isn’t necessarily “living his best life”, he is “very good at solving crimes”. Young Sheldon The Big Bang Theory’s hit prequel (前传) is back for the last season, which is set to premiere on Feb. 15. CBS revealed that Young Sheldon will end with an hour-long final episode airing on May 16. Though this season’s arrival is bittersweet, the cast has spoken out about their excitement about the episodes to come. 1. Which of the four comedies is released first this year? A. Night Court. B. Not Dead Yet. C. Grimsburg. D. Young Sheldon. 2. What is special about Grimsburg? A. It has more than one season. B. It is an animated comedy. C. It features funny performances. D. It is starred by famous actors. 3. In which section of a website may this text appear? A. Fashion. B. Opinion. C. Leisure. D. Literature. B Back in my childhood days, I lived in a small town that had a Carnegie library. Every week, without fail, I would make a visit to this library to borrow three books. One of the most defining aspects of my life has been the challenge of living with a stammer(口吃). It’s a condition that can be incredibly burdensome and distressing, particularly if you happen to be a teenager. However, it turned out to be beneficial in shaping me into a female writer in my later life. Because of my stammer, the library became my favorite place. To me, it was more than just a building; it was a shelter where I could escape into the pages of countless stories and communicate with the world without the fear of being judged. Without distraction from the outside world, I eagerly absorbed knowledge about various subjects, from science fiction to history, from biographies to poetry. Each book was a stepping stone, leading me further into the vast ocean of knowledge and imagination. As I grew older, my love for reading evolved into a passion for writing. I began to pen my own stories. My stammer, which had once been a source of frustration, became a catalyst (催化剂) for creativity. It forced me to choose my words carefully, to think before I spoke, and to write with intention. The library, with its endless rows of books and the quiet hum of other readers, was my classroom. It taught me that stories have the power to change lives, to transport us to different worlds, and to help us understand ourselves and others. It was there, in that small town library, that I discovered the writer within me. And it was that discovery that shaped my future, leading me to a career where I could share my own stories and, hopefully, inspire others as I had been inspired. 4. How did stammer influence the author? A. It stopped her from making friends. B. It contributed to her writing career. C. It brought her joy of talking to writers. D. It had a bad effect on her school performance. 5. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A. She read a wide range of books. B. She put up a shelter in the library. C. She feared to communicate with people. D. She once worked as a part-time librarian. 6. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of sharing stories. B. The procedure for becoming a writer. C. The reasons why the author loves books. D. The significance of the library to the author. 7. Which of the following words best describe the author? A. Curious and outgoing. B. Humorous and positive. C. Hardworking and persistent. D. Talented and warmhearted. C The country’s increasing adoption of smart technologies in food production was recently showcased at an annual fair in Yangling, Shaanxi province, which featured a range of agricultural innovations focused on improving productivity. Among those displayed at the 31st China Yangling Agricultural High-tech Fair included a digital irrigation (灌溉) system designed to improve water efficiency. The system has helped Shaanxi province, a major wheat production area, curb agricultural water usage by about 18 million cubic meters each year and cut electricity consumption by 20 million kilowatt-hours. Drones designed for monitoring orchards situated in mountainous regions, along with tablets that allow for remote control of fertilization (施肥) during crop watering, are also attracting significant attention from fair visitors. At the booth of Raintech, an agricultural startup in Beijing, a range of instruments were on display, including a mini-meteorological station capable of monitoring (监控) greenhouse environment and sending real-time data, such as temperature, to a smartphone app. “The sensors integrated into the device can also monitor humidity, light intensity, atmospheric pressure and carbon dioxide levels,” said Liu Hongtao, manager of the company. By analyzing this data using AI-driven algorithms, the system can predict nighttime temperatures and alert growers to potential frost damage. This innovation — coupled with other devices aimed at automating greenhouse environmental control, such as a supplementary lighting system —— significantly benefits the advancement of facility agriculture. This sector has strict light and temperature requirements during both day and night, making environmental control technologies essential for optimum production. Data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs showed that, currently, 2.67 million hectares of crops are grown in greenhouses in China. Greenhouse farming also plays an important role in the production of animal protein, with70 percent of the country’s meat, eggs and milk and 52 percent of aquatic products relying on this method of cultivation. 8. What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reduce. B. Adjust. C. Cover. D. Record. 9. Which of the following is a function of the products of Raintech? A. Watering crops. B. Controlling fertilization. C. Monitoring temperature. D. Reducing carbon emission. 10. Why does the writer use the data in the last two paragraphs? A. To explain the working principles of the devices. B. To introduce the productivity of China’s agriculture. C. To show the importance of greenhouse farming in China. D. To describe the rapid development of Chinese agriculture. 11. What is the writing purpose of this passage? A. To report a news event. B. To advertise a new product. C. To share opinions on innovation. D. To draw attention to agriculture. D Britain is facing a future of increasingly disastrous marine (海洋的) heatwaves that could destroy shellfish groups and fisheries (渔业) and have serious impacts on communities around the coast of the UK. That is the conclusion of a new report by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), which is pressing for the launch of a targeted research programme to investigate how sudden temperature rises in coastal seawater could affect marine habitats and seafood production in the UK. “Marine heatwaves have catastrophic impacts and we need to be prepared for them. At present, we are not and that position needs to be rectified (修正) as a matter of urgency,” said Dr Zoe Jacobs, the lead researcher at the NOC report. “We need to know how these marine heatwaves are going to affect plants and animals that live in the sea and find ways to protect them, as well as the coastal communities that depend on them.” In early summer 2023 Britain was struck by a marine heatwave in which major rises in the temperature of sea water were experienced off the north-east coast of England and off the west of Ireland. For more than two weeks, the sea in these regions was around five degrees above normal temperatures, breaking records for late spring and early summer. And the North Sea and north Atlantic experienced higher temperatures at the same time, with sea temperatures reaching an all-time high, according to records that date back to 1850. As global temperature continues to rise scientists believe it is unavoidable that many more of these record-breaking heatwaves will affect water around Britain and Ireland in the near future. Now the problem is that the long-term consequences of such jumps in temperature are still unknown. “There have been stories that there were widespread die-offs of shellfish such as whelks, and disruption to many fisheries during last year’s heatwave, but there is no hard evidence to back up these because we have not carried out any detailed research into the exact effects, and that is a problem.” 12. What conclusion did NOC make in its new report? A. The marine heatwaves destroyed fisheries worldwide. B. Fisheries have serious impacts on the environment in the UK. C. Natural disasters happen frequently around the coast of the UK. D. Marine heatwaves may become more and more serious in Britain. 13. Which of the following statements may Dr Zoe Jacobs agree with? A. More efforts should be made to get prepared for the coming threat. B. There is no need to worry too much about the rising temperature. C. The exact position of the marine heatwaves remains unclear. D. Plants and animals are now protected well from the disaster. 14. What problem are the scientists concerned about according to the text? A. How Britain and Ireland will avoid heatwaves. B. Why the temperature of the UK rises so suddenly. C. What research should be carried out to find out the solution. D. What may be caused by high rise in temperature in a long run. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Lives Call for Long-term Protection B. Marine Heatwaves Bring Future Threats to Britain C. NOC Launched New Research Program on Seawater D. Sudden Jumps in Temperature Harmed Costal Ecosystem 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。 Health Benefits of Rollerblading (滑旱冰) Rollerblading is a popular sport nowadays. ___16___ .

When Jack was interviewed for a well-known music school, his heart sank as he received a rejection letter, stating that his skills were not up to the school’s high standards, a cruel blow that left him feeling uncertain about his future. Disappointed but not discouraged, Jack decided to turn his setback into a stepping stone. Every day after school, he would rush to a small, dimly lit room in his basement, where an old piano stood as a silent witness to his unwavering determination. The room was humble, with barely enough space for him and the piano, but it was there that he poured his heart and soul into his craft. Hours turned into days, and days into months, with Jack’s fingers bleeding from the constant practice. Despite the pain and exhaustion, he continued to press on, driven by his dream and the belief that one day he would prove them all wrong. Seeking guidance, Jack turned to a retired pianist in the neighborhood who had once been a renowned performer.

Every week, without fail, I would make a visit to this library to borrow three books. One of the most defining aspects of my life has been the challenge of living with a stammer(口吃). It’s a condition that can be incredibly burdensome and distressing, particularly if you happen to be a teenager. However, it turned out to be beneficial in shaping me into a female writer in my later life. Because of my stammer, the library became my favorite place. To me, it was more than just a building; it was a shelter where I could escape into the pages of countless stories and communicate with the world without the fear of being judged. Without distraction from the outside world, I eagerly absorbed knowledge about various subjects, from science fiction to history, from biographies to poetry. Each book was a stepping stone, leading me further into the vast ocean of knowledge and imagination. As I grew older, my love for reading evolved into a passion for writing. I began to pen my own stories. My stammer, which had once been a source of frustration, became a catalyst (催化剂) for creativity. It forced me to choose my words carefully, to think before I spoke, and to write with intention. The library, with its endless rows of books and the quiet hum of other readers, was my classroom. It taught me that stories have the power to change lives, to transport us to different worlds, and to help us understand ourselves and others. It was there, in that small town library, that I discovered the writer within me. And it was that discovery that shaped my future, leading me to a career where I could share my own stories and, hopefully, inspire others as I had been inspired. 4. How did stammer influence the author? A. It stopped her from making friends. B. It contributed to her writing career. C. It brought her joy of talking to writers. D. It had a bad effect on her school performance. 5. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A. She read a wide range of books. B. She put up a shelter in the library. C. She feared to communicate with people. D. She once worked as a part-time librarian. 6. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of sharing stories. B. The procedure for becoming a writer. C. The reasons why the author loves books. D. The significance of the library to the author. 7. Which of the following words best describe the author? A.

Among those displayed at the 31st China Yangling Agricultural High-tech Fair included a digital irrigation (灌溉) system designed to improve water efficiency. The system has helped Shaanxi province, a major wheat production area, curb agricultural water usage by about 18 million cubic meters each year and cut electricity consumption by 20 million kilowatt-hours. Drones designed for monitoring orchards situated in mountainous regions, along with tablets that allow for remote control of fertilization (施肥) during crop watering, are also attracting significant attention from fair visitors. At the booth of Raintech, an agricultural startup in Beijing, a range of instruments were on display, including a mini-meteorological station capable of monitoring (监控) greenhouse environment and sending real-time data, such as temperature, to a smartphone app. “The sensors integrated into the device can also monitor humidity, light intensity, atmospheric pressure and carbon dioxide levels,” said Liu Hongtao, manager of the company. By analyzing this data using AI-driven algorithms, the system can predict nighttime temperatures and alert growers to potential frost damage. This innovation — coupled with other devices aimed at automating greenhouse environmental control, such as a supplementary lighting system —— significantly benefits the advancement of facility agriculture. This sector has strict light and temperature requirements during both day and night, making environmental control technologies essential for optimum production. Data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs showed that, currently, 2.67 million hectares of crops are grown in greenhouses in China. Greenhouse farming also plays an important role in the production of animal protein, with70 percent of the country’s meat, eggs and milk and 52 percent of aquatic products relying on this method of cultivation. 8. What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reduce. B. Adjust. C. Cover. D. Record. 9. Which of the following is a function of the products of Raintech? A. Watering crops. B. Controlling fertilization. C. Monitoring temperature. D. Reducing carbon emission. 10. Why does the writer use the data in the last two paragraphs? A.

That is the conclusion of a new report by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), which is pressing for the launch of a targeted research programme to investigate how sudden temperature rises in coastal seawater could affect marine habitats and seafood production in the UK. “Marine heatwaves have catastrophic impacts and we need to be prepared for them. At present, we are not and that position needs to be rectified (修正) as a matter of urgency,” said Dr Zoe Jacobs, the lead researcher at the NOC report. “We need to know how these marine heatwaves are going to affect plants and animals that live in the sea and find ways to protect them, as well as the coastal communities that depend on them.” In early summer 2023 Britain was struck by a marine heatwave in which major rises in the temperature of sea water were experienced off the north-east coast of England and off the west of Ireland. For more than two weeks, the sea in these regions was around five degrees above normal temperatures, breaking records for late spring and early summer. And the North Sea and north Atlantic experienced higher temperatures at the same time, with sea temperatures reaching an all-time high, according to records that date back to 1850. As global temperature continues to rise, scientists believe it is unavoidable that many more of these record-breaking heatwaves will affect water around Britain and Ireland in the near future. Now the problem is that the long-term consequences of such jumps in temperature are still unknown. “There have been stories that there were widespread die-offs of shellfish such as whelks, and disruption to many fisheries during last year’s heatwave, but there is no hard evidence to back up these because we have not carried out any detailed research into the exact effects, and that is a problem.” 12. What conclusion did NOC make in its new report? A. The marine heatwaves destroyed fisheries worldwide. B. Fisheries have serious impacts on the environment in the UK. C. Natural disasters happen frequently around the coast of the UK. D. Marine heatwaves may become more and more serious in Britain. 13. Which of the following statements may Dr Zoe Jacobs agree with? A. More efforts should be made to get prepared for the coming threat. B. There is no need to worry too much about the rising temperature. C The exact position of the marine heatwaves remains unclear. D. Plants and animals are now protected well from the disaster. 14. What problem are the scientists concerned about according to the text? A. How Britain and Ireland will avoid heatwaves. B. Why the temperature of the UK rises so suddenly. C. What research should be carried out to find out the solution. D. What may be caused by high rise in temperature in a long run. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Lives Call for Long-term Protection B. Marine Heatwaves Bring Future Threats to Britain C. NOC Launched New Research Program on Seawater D. Sudden Jumps in Temperature Harmed Costal Ecosystem 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15.
