Some people love their hometowns so they preserve their heritage and tell the rest of the world everything about it. One British man’s effort deserves more praise. Artist Maurice Birch spent 54 years drawing the town of Aldridge on a 100-foot-long roll of paper.
Birch bought the oversized paper roll in 1969, and only finished his visual love letter to his hometown in 2023. He paid 10 shillings for the scroll (卷轴) with hopes of entertaining his then 4-year-old son.
Now 82 years old, Birch turned this art project into a five-decade-long hobby. “I thought I would tear it off but as I began to draw on it, I couldn’t tear it up. After doing about 80 sketches (草图) , I thought ‘What else can I do now?’” That’s when he decided to draw buildings of Aldridge, as he has lived his whole life there. “I decided to preserve the scroll and keep it intact as so many old buildings have long disappeared from the landscape. ”
The scroll now features 320 drawings of historic buildings in both ink and pencil. Since no city stays the same for long, Birch’s drawings include pubs, hotels, shops, and cottages that no longer exist—many of which he actually drew from memory. Overall, he spent 2, 560 hours, or 106 days, mixing the lost construction of the past with the way Aldridge looks today.
Since it would be hard for everyone to admire the scroll at the same time, Birch’s work has been turned into a book titled Aldridge on a Roll. “Hopefully it will be a heritage showing the way Aldridge used to be,” the man says. “It was the most beautiful village when I was a boy. It’s still a lovely place to live and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else but many of the buildings have gone. I’ve always wished my children could see Aldridge as it was and this way, they sort of can. ”
24. Why did Birch initially buy the oversized paper roll?
A. To record his hometown. B. To make his son cheerful.
C. To use it in a community event. D. To start a professional art project.
25. What does the underlined word “intact” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Unbroken. B. Damaged. C. Separated. D. Folded.
26. Why is Birch’s scroll made into a book?
A. It needs to be promoted. B. It will be sold at a high price.
C He wants to make it accessible to more people. D. He intends to tell more people about his story.
27. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this text?
A. To highlight the artist’s skills. B. To show the changes in the town.
C. To promote the artist’s new book. D. To praise the artist’s contributions to his hometown.

Cycling advocates in British Columbia (B.C., a province of Canada) hope a new U.S. study will boost the case to allow cyclists to yield (slow down, and pass without stopping fully) at stop signs and safely roll through intersections (十字路口). While it’s the law like B. C. for cyclists to stop at stop signs, like every other road user, it’s common to see people on two wheels choose an illegal yield — rolling past the sign after checking it’s safe to pass through. “It makes it a lot more efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper about getting through intersections. “I’m not going to come to a full stop. Like, the amount of energy it takes to stop my entire bike and get it going again — it just doesn’t make sense.”
The argument over whether rolling stops (no need to stop completely, but pass slowly) for cyclists should be legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move being named the Idaho stop. Several other U. S. states have since followed suit, including Oregon. Canada hasn’t yet adopted laws for rolling stops for bikes.
Cycling advocates in B.C. say they’ve been pushing the issue for years and hope a new study from researchers at Oregon State University, published this month in an academic transportation journal, will aid their argument.
The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists and drivers, Idaho stops do not lead either riders or motorists to act unsafely. Researchers observed 60 people paired off who went through 16 virtual interaction scenes as either cyclist or motorist, coming together at a four-way-stop intersection. They found that instead of drivers being angry toward cyclists who appeared to be breaking the law by rolling through, driving participants approached intersections either more slowly or at a similar pace after being educated about what bicycle rolling stops were.
Nearly four out of five crashes involving cyclists in B. C. happen at intersections. “This research gives decision-makers information to support prospective legal policies, set up educational programs and design strong enforcement (执行) practices,” said Hurwitz, one of the researchers.
28. What does Ben Cooper think of the idea of allowing cyclists to yield at stop signs?
A. It is against the law. B. It improves traffic efficiency.
C. It gives cyclists freedom. D. It is safer for cyclists.
29. What happened after Idaho legalized rolling stops for cyclists?
A. Bicycle sales went up. B. Accidents decreased.
C. Protests started to increase. D. More states adopted the same laws.
30. How did the drivers change their behavior after they learned bicycle rolling stops?
A. They became angrier. B. They drove faster.
C. They approached with greater care. D. They ignored cyclists.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Citizens Call for a Ban on Cycling B. Bicycle Safety Tips on Rolling Stops
C. B. C. Cyclists Push for “Idaho Stop” Law D. Stop Laws for Cyclists: Time for Change
D
Sea lions have become the first-ever “videographers” of the ocean. In a recent study, scientists from the University of Adelaide have equipped Australian sea lions with cameras to gather critical data on their behavior and habitats. By attaching these monitoring devices, scientists are hoping to see these endangered creatures’ habitats.
With these high-tech tracking devices, experts can record detailed information about their movements and diving patterns. In turn, it can help us gather insights to improve conservation efforts for seals. Australian sea lions, which are native to the southern and western coasts of Australia, are currently facing severe threats from habitat loss, fishing activities, and climate change. For years, their population has been steadily declining.
The collected data will provide invaluable insights into the sea lions’ feeding habits, migration (迁徙) routes, and breeding (繁殖) sites. Dr. Jane Smith, an ocean biologist at the University of Adelaide, emphasized the importance of this research. “By understanding where these sea lions go and what they do, we can create more effective conservation plans to protect their natural habitats and ensure their survival, ”she said in a report by Phys. org.
Results from the monitoring project have already shown surprising findings. The sea lions are traveling further and diving deeper than previously believed, which suggests that they might be adapting to changing environmental conditions. These findings help shape conservation efforts to better protect these critical habitats.
The project has received attention and support from the broader scientific community and the public. The innovative use of technology in wildlife conservation demonstrates a promising approach to addressing the challenges faced by endangered species. As this research progresses, it is expected to contribute significantly to ocean conservation efforts not only for Australian sea lions but also for other ocean species. The comprehensive data collected will help create targeted and effective conservation strategies, ensuring the health and sustainability of ocean ecosystems.
32. What does the author mean by mentioning “videographers” in Paragraph 1?
A. Cameras will be attached to sea lions. B. Sea lions will learn how to take photos.
C. Sea lions will work with photographers. D. Cameras will be used as security guards.
33. What is likely a key goal of the sea lion research?
A. To track migrations. B. To deal with sea pollution.
C. To enhance species protection. D. To improve fishing techniques.
34. What can we infer about Australian sea lions from Paragraph 4?
A. They are becoming more numerous. B. They are adaptive.
C. They dive deep to avoid enemies. D. They behave as expected.
35. What does the author imply about the technology in wildlife conservation?
A. It’s money-consuming. B. It’s fully developed.
C. It’s widely accepted. D. It shows promising potential.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah Jenkins sat at her kitchen table, staring at the pile of unpaid bills. The weight of being a single mother pressed heavily on her shoulders. Two years had passed since her husband Tom’s sudden death in a car accident, leaving her alone to raise their two children, Emma aged 8 and Michael aged 6.
“Mommy, I’m hungry,” Michael’s small voice broke through her thoughts. Sarah quickly wiped away the tears that had gathered in her eyes and managed a smile, her voice shaking slightly as she replied, “Dinner will be ready soon, sweetheart,” though she knew there wasn’t much left in the refrigerator.
Working as a part-time waitress barely covered their basic needs. Sarah had to quit her full-time teaching job to care for the children after Tom’s death. The life insurance money was running out, and the medical bills from Tom’s final days had used up their savings.
One evening, while serving tables at the local restaurant, Sarah overheard a conversation about job openings at the community center. Mrs. Anderson, a regular customer with kind eyes and a warm smile, noticed Sarah’s interest.
“Sarah, dear, you used to be a teacher, right?” Mrs. Anderson asked gently, her voice cutting through the restaurant’s noise.
“Yes, I used to teach in a primary school for six years...” Sarah replied.
“The community center needs someone to run their after-school program. With your experience, you’d be perfect for it. Plus, they offer childcare for staff members,” Mrs. Anderson explained, placing a business card on the table with a soft smile, as if offering a lifeline to a woman who was struggling. The card seemed to shine under the restaurant’s lights, a symbol of hope and a possible new beginning. Sarah looked at it and considered the possibility of returning to her former job while also meeting her family’s current needs.
But she was still hesitant.
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。
That night, Sarah took out the card.

With her daughter’s encouragement, she called the community center and scheduled an interview.

【原文】I’m going to talk about something that can completely change the way you learn English: reading. Reading helps you in many ways. The most important benefit is vocabulary. When reading, you are exposed to hundreds, maybe thousands of words that you may not hear in everyday conversation. Reading gives you access to this rich vocabulary. Grammar and sentence structure are other big benefits. When you read, you see how English sentences are put together. You begin to recognize how grammar works naturally, without studying long lists of rules. With time, you will start forming better sentences when speaking or writing. Reading also gives you a sense of accomplishment. Imagine finishing your first English book or even a long article. It feels great, doesn’t it? That feeling motivates you to keep going. So don’t hesitate. Pick up that book, article or even an online post and start reading. I’d love to hear from you. What kind of books or articles do you like reading? Drop your answers in the comments below and let’s get a conversation started.

Some people love their hometowns so they preserve their heritage and tell the rest of the world everything about it. One British man’s effort deserves more praise. Artist Maurice Birch spent 54 years drawing the town of Aldridge on a 100-foot-long roll of paper.
Birch bought the oversized paper roll in 1969, and only finished his visual love letter to his hometown in 2023. He paid 10 shillings for the scroll (卷轴) with hopes of entertaining his then 4-year-old son.
Now 82 years old, Birch turned this art project into a five-decade-long hobby. “I thought I would tear it off but as I began to draw on it, I couldn’t tear it up. After doing about 80 sketches (草图) , I thought ‘What else can I do now?’” That’s when he decided to draw buildings of Aldridge, as he has lived his whole life there. “I decided to preserve the scroll and keep it intact as so many old buildings have long disappeared from the landscape. ”
The scroll now features 320 drawings of historic buildings in both ink and pencil. Since no city stays the same for long, Birch’s drawings include pubs, hotels, shops, and cottages that no longer exist—many of which he actually drew from memory. Overall, he spent 2, 560 hours, or 106 days, mixing the lost construction of the past with the way Aldridge looks today.
Since it would be hard for everyone to admire the scroll at the same time, Birch’s work has been turned into a book titled Aldridge on a Roll. “Hopefully it will be a heritage showing the way Aldridge used to be,” the man says. “It was the most beautiful village when I was a boy. It’s still a lovely place to live and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else but many of the buildings have gone. I’ve always wished my children could see Aldridge as it was and this way, they sort of can. ”
24. Why did Birch initially buy the oversized paper roll?
A. To record his hometown. B. To make his son cheerful.
C. To use it in a community event. D. To start a professional art project.
25. What does the underlined word “intact” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A Unbroken. B. Damaged. C. Separated. D. Folded.
26. Why is Birch’s scroll made into a book?
A. It needs to be promoted. B. It will be sold at a high price.
C. He wants to make it accessible to more people. D. He intends to tell more people about his story.
27. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this text?
A. To highlight the artist’s skills. B. To show the changes in the town.
C. To promote the artist’s new book. D. To praise the artist’s contributions to his hometown.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D

【27题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提到“Some people love their hometowns so they preserve their heritage and tell the rest of the world everything about it. One British man’s effort deserves more praise. Artist Maurice Birch spent 54 years drawing the town of Aldridge on a 100-foot-long roll of paper. (有些人爱他们的家乡,所以他们保护他们的遗产,告诉世界其他地方关于它的一切。一位英国人的努力值得更多赞扬。艺术家莫里斯·伯奇花了54年的时间在一卷100英尺长的纸上画出了奥尔德里奇镇。)”,然后文章围绕卷轴的创作及其意义展开,由此可推知,本文的写作意图是赞扬艺术家伯奇对家乡的贡献。故选D项。

Cycling advocates in British Columbia (B.C., a province of Canada) hope a new U.S. study will boost the case to allow cyclists to yield (slow down, and pass without stopping fully) at stop signs and safely roll through intersections (十字路口). While it’s the law like B. C. for cyclists to stop at stop signs, like every other road user, it’s common to see people on two wheels choose an illegal yield — rolling past the sign after checking it’s safe to pass through. “It makes it a lot more efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper about getting through intersections. “I’m not going to come to a full stop. Like, the amount of energy it takes to stop my entire bike and get it going again — it just doesn’t make sense.”
The argument over whether rolling stops (no need to stop completely, but pass slowly) for cyclists should be legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move being named the Idaho stop. Several other U. S. states have since followed suit, including Oregon. Canada hasn’t yet adopted laws for rolling stops for bikes.
Cycling advocates in B.C. say they’ve been pushing the issue for years and hope a new study from researchers at Oregon State University, published this month in an academic transportation journal, will aid their argument.
The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists and drivers, Idaho stops do not lead either riders or motorists to act unsafely. Researchers observed 60 people paired off who went through 16 virtual interaction scenes as either cyclist or motorist, coming together at a four-way-stop intersection. They found that instead of drivers being angry toward cyclists who appeared to be breaking the law by rolling through, driving participants approached intersections either more slowly or at a similar pace after being educated about what bicycle rolling stops were.
Nearly four out of five crashes involving cyclists in B. C. happen at intersections. “This research gives decision-makers information to support prospective legal policies, set up educational programs and design strong enforcement (执行) practices,” said Hurwitz, one of the researchers.
28. What does Ben Cooper think of the idea of allowing cyclists to yield at stop signs?
A. It is against the law. B. It improves traffic efficiency.
C. It gives cyclists freedom. D. It is safer for cyclists.
29. What happened after Idaho legalized rolling stops for cyclists?
A. Bicycle sales went up. B. Accidents decreased.
C. Protests started to increase. D. More states adopted the same laws.
30. How did the drivers change their behavior after they learned bicycle rolling stops?
A. They became angrier. B. They drove faster.
C. They approached with greater care. D. They ignored cyclists.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Citizens Call for a Ban on Cycling B. Bicycle Safety Tips on Rolling Stops
C. B. C. Cyclists Push for “Idaho Stop” Law D. Stop Laws for Cyclists: Time for Change
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自行车骑行者在停车标志处安全通过的法律变革,介绍了相关研究和争议,以及这种变革可能带来的影响和好处。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中““It makes it a lot more efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper about getting through intersections. “I’m not going to come to a full stop. Like, the amount of energy it takes to stop my entire bike and get it going again — it just doesn’t make sense.” (温哥华的自行车手本·库珀在谈到通过十字路口时表示:“这大大提高了效率。我不会停下来的。比如,让我的整辆自行车停下来并让它重新启动所需要的能量——这太不合理了。”)”可知,Ben Cooper认为如果允许骑自行车的人在停止标志前不用停车而缓慢通过,将提高通行效率。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The argument over whether rolling stops (no need to stop completely, but pass slowly) for cyclists should be legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move being named the Idaho stop. Several other U. S. states have since followed suit, including Oregon. (关于是否应该使骑自行车者的滚动停车(无需完全停下,但缓慢通过)合法化的争论自20世纪80年代初爱达荷州首次将其合法化以来就一直在持续,这一举动也因此被命名为“爱达荷停车”。自那时起,美国的几个其他州也纷纷效仿,包括俄勒冈州。)”可知,爱达荷州将自行车骑行者的滚动停车合法化后,更多的州紧随其后。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They found that instead of drivers being angry toward cyclists who appeared to be breaking the law by rolling through, driving participants approached intersections either more slowly or at a similar pace after being educated about what bicycle rolling stops were. (他们发现,与司机对看似违法滚动通过的骑车人感到愤怒不同,那些在了解了自行车滚动停车是什么之后的驾车参与者,在接近交叉路口时要么会开得更慢,要么会保持相似的速度。)”可知,在学习了什么是自行车滚动停车后,他们靠近十字路口时更加小心了。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段提到“Cycling advocates in British Columbia (B.C., a province of Canada) hope a new U.S. study will boost the case to allow cyclists to yield (slow down, and pass without stopping fully) at stop signs and safely roll through intersections (十字路口) .(不列颠哥伦比亚省(B.C. 加拿大的一个省)的自行车倡导者希望美国的一项新研究能够推动这个案例,允许骑自行车的人在停车标志前退让(减速,不用完全停车),安全地通过十字路口。)”之后文章就此展开,第二段“The argument over whether rolling stops (no need to stop completely, but pass slowly) for cyclists should be legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move being named the Idaho stop.(关于是否应该使骑自行车者的滚动停车(无需完全停下,但缓慢通过)合法化的争论自20世纪80年代初爱达荷州首次将其合法化以来就一直在持续,这一举动也因此被命名为“爱达荷停车”。)”提及这项法律名称,因此判断C项“骑自行车的人推动“爱达荷停车”法”适合作文章的标题。故选C。
D
Sea lions have become the first-ever “videographers” of the ocean. In a recent study, scientists from the University of Adelaide have equipped Australian sea lions with cameras to gather critical data on their behavior and habitats. By attaching these monitoring devices, scientists are hoping to see these endangered creatures’ habitats.
With these high-tech tracking devices, experts can record detailed information about their movements and diving patterns. In turn, it can help us gather insights to improve conservation efforts for seals. Australian sea lions, which are native to the southern and western coasts of Australia, are currently facing severe threats from habitat loss, fishing activities, and climate change. For years, their population has been steadily declining.
The collected data will provide invaluable insights into the sea lions’ feeding habits, migration (迁徙) routes, and breeding (繁殖) sites. Dr. Jane Smith, an ocean biologist at the University of Adelaide, emphasized the importance of this research. “By understanding where these sea lions go and what they do, we can create more effective conservation plans to protect their natural habitats and ensure their survival, ”she said in a report by Phys. org.
Results from the monitoring project have already shown surprising findings. The sea lions are traveling further and diving deeper than previously believed, which suggests that they might be adapting to changing environmental conditions. These findings help shape conservation efforts to better protect these critical habitats.
The project has received attention and support from the broader scientific community and the public. The innovative use of technology in wildlife conservation demonstrates a promising approach to addressing the challenges faced by endangered species. As this research progresses, it is expected to contribute significantly to ocean conservation efforts not only for Australian sea lions but also for other ocean species. The comprehensive data collected will help create targeted and effective conservation strategies, ensuring the health and sustainability of ocean ecosystems.
32. What does the author mean by mentioning “videographers” in Paragraph 1?
A. Cameras will be attached to sea lions. B. Sea lions will learn how to take photos.
C. Sea lions will work with photographers. D. Cameras will be used as security guards.
33. What is likely a key goal of the sea lion research?
A. To track migrations. B. To deal with sea pollution.
C. To enhance species protection. D. To improve fishing techniques.
34. What can we infer about Australian sea lions from Paragraph 4?
A. They are becoming more numerous. B. They are adaptive.
C. They dive deep to avoid enemies. D. They behave as expected.
35. What does the author imply about the technology in wildlife conservation?
A. It’s money-consuming. B. It’s fully developed.
C. It’s widely accepted. D. It shows promising potential.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah Jenkins sat at her kitchen table, staring at the pile of unpaid bills. The weight of being a single mother pressed heavily on her shoulders. Two years had passed since her husband Tom’s sudden death in a car accident, leaving her alone to raise their two children, Emma aged 8 and Michael aged 6.
“Mommy, I’m hungry,” Michael’s small voice broke through her thoughts. Sarah quickly wiped away the tears that had gathered in her eyes and managed a smile, her voice shaking slightly as she replied, “Dinner will be ready soon, sweetheart,” though she knew there wasn’t much left in the refrigerator.
Working as a part-time waitress barely covered their basic needs. Sarah had to quit her full-time teaching job to care for the children after Tom’s death. The life insurance money was running out, and the medical bills from Tom’s final days had used up their savings.
One evening, while serving tables at the local restaurant, Sarah overheard a conversation about job openings at the community center. Mrs. Anderson, a regular customer with kind eyes and a warm smile, noticed Sarah’s interest.
“Sarah, dear, you used to be a teacher, right?” Mrs. Anderson asked gently, her voice cutting through the restaurant’s noise.
“Yes, I used to teach in a primary school for six years...” Sarah replied.
“The community center needs someone to run their after-school program. With your experience, you’d be perfect for it. Plus, they offer childcare for staff members,” Mrs. Anderson explained, placing a business card on the table with a soft smile, as if offering a lifeline to a woman who was struggling. The card seemed to shine under the restaurant’s lights, a symbol of hope and a possible new beginning. Sarah looked at it and considered the possibility of returning to her former job while also meeting her family’s current needs.
But she was still hesitant.
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。
That night, Sarah took out the card.

With her daughter’s encouragement, she called the community center and scheduled an interview.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】That night, Sarah took out the card. The position offered better pay and would allow her to return to teaching while keeping her children nearby. But could she handle such a responsibility while still sad? Emma found her mother still awake, holding the card. “Mom, are you okay?” she asked, showing wisdom beyond her years. “I’m just thinking about a new job, sweetie. But I’m not sure if I can do it,” Sarah admitted. Emma hugged her mother tightly. “Dad always said you were the strongest person he knew. Remember?” Sarah nodded.
With her daughter’s encouragement, she called the community center and scheduled an interview. To her surprise, the director, Linda, was incredibly understanding of her situation. She explained that her experience, both as a teacher and a mother, makes her uniquely qualified. Two months later, Sarah stood in front of her first group of students at the community center. Emma and Michael attended the center’s childcare program, and for the first time in two years, she felt hope blooming in her heart. Sarah knew she had made the right choice. Teaching wasn’t just her profession anymore - it had become her path to healing.
