Aurora This historic village located on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake was originally inhabited by the Cayuga people. European-American settlement began in 1789, and by 1837, Aurora was incorporated as a village. It became a centre for canal traffic following the opening of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, which facilitated the transport of wool, grain, fruit, and pigs to broader markets. Cooperstown Founded in 1786 by Judge William Cooper, this town was named in Cooper’s honor. His son, James Fenimore Cooper, a renowned novelist, immortalized the area in his The Leatherstocking Tales, referring to Otsego Lake as the “Glimmerglass”. Cooperstown is perhaps best known as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, established in 1939. This institution celebrates the history of baseball and honors its greatest players, making the village a favourite site for fans of America’s pastime. Skaneateles The name “Skaneateles” derives from the Iroquois term for “long lake”, which reflects the indigenous roots of this small town. European-American settlement began in the late 18th century, and the village was officially incorporated in 1833. Skaneateles is known for its well- preserved 19th-century architecture, with many buildings dating back to the 1830s. The downtown Historic District, established in 1985, showcases these architectural treasures. Seneca Falls This town is often recognized as the birthplace of the Women’s Rights movement in America. In July 1848, it hosted the first Women’s Rights Convention at the Wesleyan Chapel, where activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott presented the Declaration of Sentiments, advocating for women’s equality. You can visit the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, which includes the Wesleyan Chapel and the homes of key figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton. 1. What contributed to Aurora’s being a traffic center? A. The need of markets. B. The opening of a canal. C. The location of the village. D. The settlement of Americans. 2. What is Cooperstown largely known for? A. A famous baseball museum. B A yearly “Glimmerglass” event. C. A large collection of James Fenimore Cooper’s novels. D. The birthplace of James Fenimore Cooper. 3. Which of the following may appeal most to architects? A. Aurora. B. Cooperstown. C. Skaneateles. D. Seneca Falls. B What did you imagine the future of transportation would look like? Was it up in the air? A unique vehicle called XTurismo made its appearance at the Detroit Auto Show in early September. The vehicle resembles an ordinary motorbike you’d see on the freeway—a sleek (造型优美的) design with an aerodynamic shape. But what stirred interest in the vehicle is what it doesn’t have, which is a pair of wheels. And it flies. Instead, it has a landing gear similar to a helicopter and it has six propellers parallel to the ground. Two rotors (转子) are in front of the bike and the other two on the back. In principle, this might be the world’s first flying bike. In the video, you can see the bike hovering at a height of around five feet. The placement of the rotors allows the bike to stabilize midair and stop it from tipping or dipping on one side. Even with its “earthly” design, it still looks like something out of a science fiction movie. There’s a reason for that too. The founder and CEO of the company behind this vehicle loved Star Wars movies. XTurismo isn’t as fast as its counterparts in Hollywood, but it proudly shows that the technology could work. And it’s achievable. “I wanted to make something from the movie real,” the founder was quoted saying. “It’s a land speeder for the Dark Side.” Creating something that flies isn’t new to the company. The Delaware-based company is an air-mobility company that makes drones and other unmanned vehicles. XTurismo is already being sold in Japan but the company plans on bringing this vision of the future to the United States in 2023. The estimated price for this baby? A whopping$777,000. The company, however, shared much more ambitious plans in creating a smaller and more efficient version of the craft by 2025. The smaller version is planned to be run by electricity and would cost about $50,000. “We haven’t unlocked the technology to make more efficient engines for flying vehicles that can take them higher and faster. Moreover, regulations and restrictions also vary from one country to another,” the founder said. However, even with a 40-minute flight time, the XTurismo is more than enough to inspire engineers about the possibility of flying through your neighborhood. 4. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. The related data of the vehicle. B. The disadvantages of the vehicle. C. The design theories behind the vehicle. D. The unique design and flight feature of the vehicle. 5. What is the function of the rotors? A. To keep the vehicle’s balance in the air. B. To maintain a certain speed. C. To assist the landing. D. To work as wheels. 6. What can be inferred about the XTurismo? A. It is the first flying device in the company. B. It can fly faster than the one in Hollywood movies. C. It is priced at astronomical $777,000 in the United States. D. Technical and regulatory factors overshadow its further advances. 7. What is the main topic of this text? A. An air-mobility company. B. A smaller version of the XTurismo. C. A flying bike at the Detroit Auto Show. D. An elementary land speeder in Star Wars movies. C Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna (动植物). They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focused approach to the design of public spaces. Together with his team, Wolfgang Weisser, Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM, looked at such factors as size, the occurrence of lawn, plant and tree growth, artificial light sources and green in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich. The squares varied from almost entirely sealed (封闭的) to park-like squares. Their results show with Munich as an example, how greatly the different spaces can differ in the animals and other organisms that can live there. At the heavily sealed Marienplatz, the researchers counted only 20 species, with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species. Meanwhile, at Pfrontener Platz, a space with lawns, bushes and trees, they found 156 taxa, including 21 different kinds of birds. At Johannisplatz, 118 species are present, as it has trees, hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent. Unsurprisingly, more plants are beneficial to many animal species. This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account. However, the study also shows that lawns, trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract. So far, public spaces are designed with humans in mind, with little consideration to animals and other species. The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if, instead of applying the same patterns to every location, planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species. To encourage more bee species, for example, they should not only plant nectar-bearing flowers, but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest-building material. 8. What does the study at TUM focus on? A. The best locations for flora and fauna. B. Factors to be considered in square design. C. The impact of local conditions on biodiversity. D. The best way for humans and flora and fauna to get along. 9. What can we know from paragraph 3? A. Animals expand in sealed parks. B. Open parks support more biodiversity. C Open parks are not fit for birds to stay. D. Closed parks are as good as open ones. 10. What does the study say about urban greenery? A It varies in attracting species. B. It will replace artificial lights. C. It has nothing to do with species. D. It is well planned in urban buildings. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Enhancing Urban Development: Considering Local Species’ Needs B. Human-animal Coexistence: Integrating Nature into City Designing C. Urban Ecosystems: Challenges for Plants and Animals in Urban Spaces D. Biodiversity in the City: Designing Urban Spaces for Humans and Animals D If you find yourself sleepy during your daily activities in your older age, you may need to consider it more than an inconvenience - since the fatigue may indicate you’re at higher risk for developing a condition that can lead to dementia (痴呆), a new study has found. Among participants who experienced excessive daytime sleepiness and a lack of enthusiasm, 35.5% developed motoric cognitive risk syndrome (运动认知风险综合征), or MCR compared with 6.7% of people without those problems, according to the study. MCR is marked by slow walking speed and complaints of memory problems among older people who don’t already have dementia or a mobility disability. The risk of developing dementia more than doubles in those with this syndrome, which was first described in 2013. The findings are based on 445 adults who were aged 76 on average. Participants walked on treadmills (跑步机) so their initial gaits could be recorded, then were assessed annually from 2011 to 2018. The study authors also collected yearly data on participants’ recollections of their sleep quality and quantity in the two weeks leading up to the assessments. Over a follow-up period of roughly three years on average, 36 participants developed MCR syndrome. Compared with “good” sleepers, “poor” sleepers had only a slightly higher risk of MCR. “The study findings may help physicians and patients be more open to asking questions about sleep patterns, and to looking more closely at walking speed when making an early diagnosis,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, director of research at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Florida. “If you’re already experiencing mobility issues, fall prevention can help,” Isaacson said, “that can include physical and occupational therapy evaluation, and at-home adaptations such as installing bars in the shower, removing clutter (杂物) and using night-lights.” “MCR syndrome is newly identified, so experts still have a lot to learn before they can explain in detail what causes it and how it affects the body,” Isaacson said. 12. What does the underlined word “fatigue” probably mean in paragraph 1? A. Weakness. B. Tiredness. C. Comfort. D. Happiness. 13. What might be the feature of MCR? A. Slow movement. B. More complaints. C. Excessive sleepiness. D. Rapid cognitive declines. 14. How did the study collect data on participants’ sleep? A. By writing sleep diaries. B. By doing treadmill tests. C. By conducting annual interviews. D. By monitoring sleep at home. 15. What should a senior with mobility issues do? A. Live normally. B. Reduce activity. C. Stay awake. D. Avoid falls. 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。 Taking action is one of the most important factors that will determine your success.

He would spend hours watching them play in the park, their tails wagging and tongues sticking out in pure joy. But there was one dog that caught his eye more than any other: a Boston terrier (波士顿狗) with a cute face and bright, expressive eyes. Logan’s father, Joe, noticed his son’s fascination with the little dog and made a mental note. He knew that Logan would love to have a pet of his own, but unfortunately, Joe was allergic to dogs. So, for years, Logan had to content himself with soft toy animals and dreams of owning a real, live puppy. As the years passed, Logan grew older, but his love for dogs never waned. When he was three, his parents gave him a soft toy Boston terrier for his birthday, and he named it Puppers. From that day on, Puppers was his constant companion, accompanying him on every adventure and sleeping with him every night. But deep down, Logan still longed for a real puppy, one that he could play with and cuddle. He often talked to his father about it, and Joe would listen with a sad smile, knowing that he couldn’t fulfill his son’s wish. Then, one day, everything changed. Joe was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare and aggressive blood cancer. The family was in deep sorrow, but Joe remained strong, determined to fight the disease and spend as much time as possible with his loved ones. As his condition worsened, Joe knew that he might not have much time left. He wanted to make sure that his son’s dream of owning a puppy would come true, even if he couldn’t be there to see it. So, Joe asked Melanie, his wife, to make a promise that she would buy Logan a puppy after Joe passed away. Melanie kept her promise, and a week after Joe’s passing, she told Logan that they had to drive to Midland, Michigan, to pick up something special. Logan had no idea what it was, but he was excited to find out. 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。 When they arrived at the breeder’s house, Logan’s eyes lit up as he saw a litter of adorable Boston terrier puppies. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Indy brought joy and comfort to Logan during his time of sorrow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三考试英语试卷 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

(在Cayuga-Seneca运河开通后，它成为了一个运河交通中心，促进了羊毛、粮食、水果和猪肉向更广阔市场的运输)”可知，Aurora成为交通中心是因为一条运河的开通。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Cooperstown部分中“Cooperstown is perhaps best known as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, established in 1939.(库伯斯敦可能最以其为1939年建立的国家棒球名人堂和博物馆的所在地而闻名)”可知，库伯斯敦因其著名的棒球博物馆而闻名。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章Skaneateles部分中“Skaneateles is known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, with many buildings dating back to the 1830s.(斯凯内特尔斯以其保存完好的19世纪建筑而闻名，许多建筑可以追溯到19世纪30年代)”和最后一句“The downtown Historic District, established in 1985, showcases these architectural treasures.(1985年成立的历史中心展示了这些建筑瑰宝)”可知，斯凯内特尔斯因其保存完好的19世纪建筑而可能对建筑师最有吸引力。故选C项。 B What did you imagine the future of transportation would look like? Was it up in the air? A unique vehicle called XTurismo made its appearance at the Detroit Auto Show in early September. The vehicle resembles an ordinary motorbike you’d see on the freeway—a sleek (造型优美的) design with an aerodynamic shape. But what stirred interest in the vehicle is what it doesn’t have, which is a pair of wheels. And it flies. Instead, it has a landing gear similar to a helicopter and it has six propellers parallel to the ground. Two rotors (转子) are in front of the bike and the other two on the back. In principle, this might be the world’s first flying bike. In the video, you can see the bike hovering at a height of around five feet. The placement of the rotors allows the bike to stabilize midair and stop it from tipping or dipping on one side. Even with its “earthly” design, it still looks like something out of a science fiction movie. There’s a reason for that too. The founder and CEO of the company behind this vehicle loved Star Wars movies. XTurismo isn’t as fast as its counterparts in Hollywood, but it proudly shows that the technology could work. And it’s achievable. “I wanted to make something from the movie real,” the founder was quoted saying. “It’s a land speeder for the Dark Side.” Creating something that flies isn’t new to the company. The Delaware-based company is an air-mobility company that makes drones and other unmanned vehicles. XTurismo is already being sold in Japan but the company plans on bringing this vision of the future to the United States in 2023. The estimated price for this baby? A whopping$777,000. The company, however, shared much more ambitious plans in creating a smaller and more efficient version of the craft by 2025. The smaller version is planned to be run by electricity and would cost about $50,000. “We haven’t unlocked the technology to make more efficient engines for flying vehicles that can take them higher and faster. Moreover, regulations and restrictions also vary from one country to another,” the founder said. However, even with a 40-minute flight time, the XTurismo is more than enough to inspire engineers about the possibility of flying through your neighborhood. 4. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. The related data of the vehicle. B. The disadvantages of the vehicle. C. The design theories behind the vehicle. D. The unique design and flight feature of the vehicle. 5. What is the function of the rotors? A. To keep the vehicle’s balance in the air. B. To maintain a certain speed. C. To assist the landing. D. To work as wheels. 6. What can be inferred about the XTurismo? A. It is the first flying device in the company. B. It can fly faster than the one in Hollywood movies. C. It is priced at astronomical $777,000 in the United States. D. Technical and regulatory factors overshadow its further advances. 7. What is the main topic of this text? A. An air-mobility company. B. A smaller version of the XTurismo. C. A flying bike at the Detroit Auto Show. D. An elementary land speeder in Star Wars movies. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在底特律车展上展出的一款名为XTurismo的飞行自行车，包括其设计、功能、价格以及面临的挑战等方面的内容。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“But what stirred interest in the vehicle is what it doesn’t have, which is a pair of wheels. And it flies. Instead, it has a landing gear similar to a helicopter and it has six propellers parallel to the ground. Two rotors (转子) are in front of the bike and the other two on the back. In principle, this might be the world’s first flying bike. (但引起人们兴趣的是它没有的东西，那就是一对轮子。它会飞。相反，它有一个类似于直升机的起落架，它有六个平行于地面的螺旋桨。两个转子在自行车的前面，另外两个在后面。原则上，这可能是世界上第一辆会飞的自行车。)”可知，本段提到它没有轮子，而是可以飞行，具有类似于直升机的起落架和六个与地面平行的螺旋桨。接着提到这可能是世界上第一辆飞行自行车即主要介绍了XTurismo的独特设计和飞行特点。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The placement of the rotors allows the bike to stabilize midair and stop it from tipping or dipping on one side.(转子的位置允许自行车稳定在半空中，并阻止它从倾斜或倾斜在一边。)”可知，转子的位置可以使自行车在空中保持稳定，防止其向一侧倾斜或下沉。因此，转子的功能是保持车辆在空中的平衡，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段创始人所说的话““We haven’t unlocked the technology to make more efficient engines for flying vehicles that can take them higher and faster. Moreover, regulations and restrictions also vary from one country to another,” the founder said.(“我们还没有开发出技术，为飞行器制造更高效的引擎，让它们飞得更高更快。此外，各国的规定和限制也各不相同。”)”可知，XTurismo在技术和法规方面还存在很多挑战，这些因素阻碍了其进一步发展。因此，可以推断出技术和法规因素阻碍了XTurismo的进一步发展。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“A unique vehicle called XTurismo made its appearance at the Detroit Auto Show in early September. The vehicle resembles an ordinary motorbike you’d see on the freeway—a sleek ( 造型优美的 ) design with an aerodynamic shape.(9月初，一款名为XTurismo的独特汽车在底特律车展上亮相。这辆车和你在高速公路上看到的普通摩托车很像——光滑的设计和空气动力学的外形。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了在底特律车展上展出的一款名为XTurismo的飞行自行车，包括其设计、功能、价格以及面临的挑战等方面的内容。因此，C选项“A flying bike at the Detroit Auto Show.(在底特律车展上展出的飞行自行车)”符合文章主题。选项C正确。 C Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna (动植物). They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focused approach to the design of public spaces. Together with his team, Wolfgang Weisser, Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM, looked at such factors as size, the occurrence of lawn, plant and tree growth, artificial light sources and green in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich. The squares varied from almost entirely sealed (封闭的) to park-like squares. Their results show, with Munich as an example, how greatly the different spaces can differ in the animals and other organisms that can live there. At the heavily sealed Marienplatz, the researchers counted only 20 species, with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species. Meanwhile, at Pfrontener Platz, a space with lawns, bushes and trees, they found 156 taxa, including 21 different kinds of birds. At Johannisplatz, 118 species are present, as it has trees, hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent. Unsurprisingly, more plants are beneficial to many animal species. This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account. However, the study also shows that lawns, trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract. So far, public spaces are designed with humans in mind, with little consideration to animals and other species. The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if, instead of applying the same patterns to every location, planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species. To encourage more bee species, for example, they should not only plant nectar-bearing flowers, but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest-building material. 8. What does the study at TUM focus on? A. The best locations for flora and fauna. B. Factors to be considered in square design. C. The impact of local conditions on biodiversity. D. The best way for humans and flora and fauna to get along. 9. What can we know from paragraph 3? A. Animals expand in sealed parks. B. Open parks support more biodiversity. C. Open parks are not fit for birds to stay. D. Closed parks are as good as open ones. 10. What does the study say about urban greenery? A. It varies in attracting species. B. It will replace artificial lights. C. It has nothing to do with species. D. It is well planned in urban buildings. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Enhancing Urban Development: Considering Local Species’ Needs B. Human-animal Coexistence: Integrating Nature into City Designing C. Urban Ecosystems: Challenges for Plants and Animals in Urban Spaces D. Biodiversity in the City: Designing Urban Spaces for Humans and Animals 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了慕尼黑工业大学(TUM)的研究，探讨了城市公共空间设计中考虑当地条件和不同物种需求的重要性，以促进生物多样性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna (动植物).

Among participants who experienced excessive daytime sleepiness and a lack of enthusiasm, 35.5% developed motoric cognitive risk syndrome (运动认知风险综合征), or MCR compared with 6.7% of people without those problems, according to the study. MCR is marked by slow walking speed and complaints of memory problems among older people who don’t already have dementia or a mobility disability. The risk of developing dementia more than doubles in those with this syndrome, which was first described in 2013. The findings are based on 445 adults who were aged 76 on average. Participants walked on treadmills (跑步机) so their initial gaits could be recorded, then were assessed annually from 2011 to 2018. The study authors also collected yearly data on participants’ recollections of their sleep quality and quantity in the two weeks leading up to the assessments. Over a follow-up period of roughly three years on average, 36 participants developed MCR syndrome. Compared with “good” sleepers, “poor” sleepers had only a slightly higher risk of MCR. “The study findings may help physicians and patients be more open to asking questions about sleep patterns, and to looking more closely at walking speed when making an early diagnosis,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, director of research at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Florida. “If you’re already experiencing mobility issues, fall prevention can help,” Isaacson said, “that can include physical and occupational therapy evaluation, and at-home adaptations such as installing bars in the shower, removing clutter (杂物) and using night-lights.” “MCR syndrome is newly identified, so experts still have a lot to learn before they can explain in detail what causes it and how it affects the body,” Isaacson said. 12. What does the underlined word “fatigue” probably mean in paragraph 1? A. Weakness. B. Tiredness. C. Comfort. D. Happiness. 13. What might be the feature of MCR? A. Slow movement. B. More complaints. C Excessive sleepiness. D. Rapid cognitive declines. 14. How did the study collect data on participants’ sleep? A. By writing sleep diaries. B. By doing treadmill tests. C. By conducting annual interviews. D. By monitoring sleep at home. 15. What should a senior with mobility issues do? A. Live normally. B. Reduce activity. C. Stay awake. D. Avoid falls. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于疲劳可能表明你患痴呆的可能性更高的研究。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“If you find yourself sleepy during your daily activities in your older age, you may need to consider it more than an inconvenience (如果你在年老时发现自己在日常活动中犯困，你可能需要考虑的不仅仅是一种不便)”可知，此处提到了犯困的问题，紧接着下文提到了可能导致的风险，所以可推测划线词可能是“疲劳”的意思。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“MCR is marked by slow walking speed and complaints of memory problems among older people who don’t already have dementia or a mobility disability. (MCR的特点是走路速度慢，在没有痴呆症或行动障碍的老年人中抱怨有记忆问题。)”可知，MCR的特点是行动缓慢。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The study authors also collected yearly data on participants’ recollections of their sleep quality and quantity in the two weeks leading up to the assessments. (研究作者还收集了参与者在评估前两周对睡眠质量和睡眠时间的年度回忆数据。)”可知，此处提到了关于睡眠的年度回忆数据，所以这项研究是通过年度采访收集参与者的睡眠数据的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“If you’re already experiencing mobility issues, fall prevention can help (如果你已经有行动不便的问题，预防跌倒会有所帮助)”可知，行动不便的老年人应该预防跌倒。故选D项。 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。 Taking action is one of the most important factors that will determine your success.

He would spend hours watching them play in the park, their tails wagging and tongues sticking out in pure joy. But there was one dog that caught his eye more than any other: a Boston terrier (波士顿狗) with a cute face and bright, expressive eyes. Logan’s father, Joe, noticed his son’s fascination with the little dog and made a mental note. He knew that Logan would love to have a pet of his own, but unfortunately, Joe was allergic to dogs. So, for years, Logan had to content himself with soft toy animals and dreams of owning a real, live puppy. As the years passed, Logan grew older, but his love for dogs never waned. When he was three, his parents gave him a soft toy Boston terrier for his birthday, and he named it Puppers. From that day on, Puppers was his constant companion, accompanying him on every adventure and sleeping with him every night. But deep down, Logan still longed for a real puppy, one that he could play with and cuddle. He often talked to his father about it, and Joe would listen with a sad smile, knowing that he couldn’t fulfill his son’s wish. Then one day, everything changed. Joe was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare and aggressive blood cancer. The family was in deep sorrow, but Joe remained strong, determined to fight the disease and spend as much time as possible with his loved ones. As his condition worsened, Joe knew that he might not have much time left. He wanted to make sure that his son’s dream of owning a puppy would come true, even if he couldn’t be there to see it. So, Joe asked Melanie, his wife, to make a promise that she would buy Logan a puppy after Joe passed away. Melanie kept her promise, and a week after Joe’s passing, she told Logan that they had to drive to Midland, Michigan, to pick up something special. Logan had no idea what it was, but he was excited to find out. 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。 When they arrived at the breeder’s house, Logan’s eyes lit up as he saw a litter of adorable Boston terrier puppies. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Indy brought joy and comfort to Logan during his time of sorrow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When they arrived at the breeder’s house, Logan’s eyes lit up as he saw a litter of adorable Boston terrier puppies.

He picked up the puppy and held it close, already feeling a strong connection. Melanie smiled, knowing that she had fulfilled Joe’s wish and that Logan would have a true companion. He named the puppy Indy. Indy brought joy and comfort to Logan during his time of sorrow. The puppy’s playful antics and loving nature helped Logan cope with the loss of his father. Every day, Indy would curl up next to Logan, providing warmth and companionship. Logan found solace in taking care of Indy, and it became a way for him to honor his father’s memory.
