Research shows that spending time in a natural setting has many benefits — it can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve concentration and attention, and even lead to better sleep. Here are some ways to get started. Go for a walk, bike, or hike The easiest way to get closer to nature is to simply step outside. Gather family or friends and go for a walk or bike ride in your neighborhood or a local park. Besides getting exercise, you’ll be stimulating (刺激) your senses, from seeing a variety of colors in autumn leaves to feeling a gentle wind blow through the trees. Try bird-watching November is a great time of year for bird-watching. It’s when many bird species take flight on their migratory (迁徙的) journeys to warm destinations to the south. You can visit a bird reserve in your area or learn more about the birds in your neighborhood. The highly-recommended Merlin Bird ID app is a free bird guide with photos, bird sounds, and maps that can help you identify the bird species you hear or see. Plant a fall garden Fall is a good time to plant because it’s less hot for plants but the soil is still warm. In parts of the US where the weather is milder, you may be able to plant leafy crops like spinach, broccoli, and kale through December. You can also bring nature inside by having plants in your home. 1. Why is it good to get closer to nature? A. People can plant leafy crops. B. People can build new friendship. C. People can improve their fitness. D. People can learn much about climate. 2. Which way is recommended for bird-watching? A. Referring to maps. B. Turning to a bird guide. C. Using an app for birds. D. Taking photos of birds. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A course plan. B. A health magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A museum guidebook. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三种在秋天亲近大自然的方式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Get Closer to Nature部分的“Research shows that spending time in a natural setting has many benefits — it can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve concentration and attention, and even lead to better sleep. (研究表明，在自然环境中度过时间有很多好处——它可以帮助减少焦虑和压力，提高注意力和专注力，甚至有助于改善睡眠。)”可知，接近大自然可以提高人们的健康水平，包括改善注意力和专注力，即可以提高身体素质。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Try bird-watching部分的“The highly-recommended Merlin Bird ID app is a free bird guide with photos, bird sounds, and maps that can help you identify the bird species you hear or see. (强烈推荐的Merlin Bird ID应用程序是一个免费的鸟类指南，包含照片、鸟的声音和地图，可以帮助您识别您听到或看到的鸟类。)”可知，推荐使用鸟类相关的应用程序来观鸟。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Autumn is a special time to enjoy the outdoors, when the weather is cool and refreshing for experiencing the sights and sounds of nature. Research shows that spending time in a natural setting has many benefits — it can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve concentration and attention, and even lead to better sleep. (秋天是享受户外活动的特殊时刻，此时天气凉爽宜人，适合体验大自然的景色和声音。研究表明，在自然环境中度过时间有很多好处——它可以帮助减少焦虑和压力，提高注意力和专注力，甚至有助于改善睡眠。)”以及接下来提到的几种接近大自然的方式，可知本文主要讲述的是秋季在自然环境中度过时间的好处和一些相关建议，这些内容更符合健康杂志的风格。因此，选项B“A health magazine.(一本健康杂志)”是本文可能的来源。故选B。 B At the age of 52, Elaine Plant never expected to become a competitive cyclist. Cycling was not a part of her busy life, which was focused on raising three children and running a family business. But in 2014, everything changed when her husband decided to join a charity (慈善) bike ride. Elaine decided to join him and took out an old, rusty mountain bike from the shed. That first ride was 15 miles, and it was very hard. Elaine pushed her bike up many hills, but she started to feel curious about cycling. Determined to improve, Elaine soon got a new road bike from her husband. On her first ride with it, she struggled with the brakes (刹车) and nearly missed a junction (路口) , but she was undeterred. Her confidence grew as she practiced, and she joined a local cycling club, the Bicester Millennium. There, she met other cyclists who taught her how to ride up hills, use the gears, and ride safely in a group. Elaine’s love for cycling grew stronger, and she started competing in events. She even bought a special bike to try time trials. Joining the club was a life-changing experience for Elaine. She became close friends with a group called the “Bicester Belles.” They supported each other on and off the bike. The group even tried a cyclocross race, a bike race on rough ground. Elaine was nervous, but she conquered her fears and finished the race with a smile. Now, Elaine encourages other women to try cycling. She says, “Challenge yourself! Enjoy being on your bike and connect with others. Cycling changed my life and helped me find myself.” Her story shows that a small step can lead to great changes, bringing confidence, friendship, and joy. 4. When did Elaine decide to go cycling? A. When she found her old mountain bike. B. When her friends in a club encouraged her. C. When her husband prepared for a cycling activity. D. When she wanted to collect money for a charity project. 5 What does the underlined word “undeterred” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Not skilled. B. Not injured. C. Not experienced. D. Not stopped. 6. What can we infer about the “Bicester Belles” in paragraph 3? A. They often rode alone. B. They were new to cycling. C. They often helped each other. D. They spent a lot oftime and money. 7. What is a key lesson from Elaine’s story? A. Starting a new hobby needs family support. B. Facing challenges can lead to unexpected benefits. C. Practicing often helps people become more skilled. D. Taking part in sports can make us healthy and strong. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了52岁的Elaine Plant如何从一位忙于家庭和生意的女性转变为一位热爱并投身于竞技自行车运动的人。这一切的起点是她丈夫决定参加一次慈善自行车骑行活动，Elaine随后加入并逐渐爱上了这项运动。通过不断的练习和加入当地自行车俱乐部，Elaine不仅提升了自己的骑行技能，还结识了一群志同道合的朋友，并鼓励他们一起尝试自行车运动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But in 2014, everything changed when her husband decided to join a charity bike ride. Elaine decided to join him and took out an old, rusty mountain bike from the shed. (但在2014年，当她的丈夫决定参加慈善自行车骑行时，一切都改变了。Elaine决定加入他，从车棚里拿出一辆生锈的旧山地车。)”可知，Elaine决定去骑自行车是在她丈夫准备参加一次慈善自行车骑行活动时。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“On her first ride with it, she struggled with the brakes (刹车) and nearly missed a junction (路口) , (第一次开车时，她刹车很吃力，差点错过一个路口，)”可知，Elaine在第一次骑新自行车时遇到了刹车问题，差点错过路口，因此前半句讲述的是Elaine骑行遇到的困难，后半句“but”一词转折可以猜测出她并没有因此停下或放弃。因此，“undeterred”在这里的意思是“没停下”或“没放弃”。D选项“Not stopped. (没有停下来。)”与划线词为同义。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She became close friends with a group called the “Bicester Belles.” They supported each other on and off the bike. (她与一个名为“Bicester Belles”的团体成为了亲密的朋友。他们上下自行车时互相搀扶着。)”可知，“Bicester Belles”是一个自行车俱乐部中的小组，成员们不仅在骑行时互相支持，在日常生活中也互相帮助。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，从本文Elaine的故事中，我们可以看到她从一个对自行车运动不熟悉的人，通过不断的挑战和努力，最终成为了一位热爱并投身于竞技自行车运动的人。这一过程中，她不仅提升了自己的技能，还结识了新朋友，并鼓励他们一起尝试自行车运动。因此，从她的故事中我们可以学到人生哲理是：面对挑战可以带来意想不到的收获。B选项“Facing challenges can lead to unexpected benefits. (面对挑战可以带来意想不到的好处。)”符合题意。故选B。 C This year’s Chelsea Flower Show, held from May 21 to 25, featured (以……为特色) a garden that was designed by children, for children. The famous show was run by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), a gardening charity in Chelsea, London. It is a chance for garden designers to show their skills and win prizes for their creations. Children played an important role in this year’s show. The “no adults allowed” garden was designed by primary school children. And it featured a woodland that invited exploration, a grassland with grass and wildflowers and a wetland area with bog plants. It also featured a play area that included a natural cave leading into a pool of water, providing a slide for children to enjoy. The show was a sensation, drawing in many families and community members, who were excited to see the creative designs. The young designers confidently presented their ideas to the visitors, sharing what they learned throughout the creative process. For the first time this year, children also took on the role of judges (裁判), giving prizes for the garden they would most like to play in. Judges from primary school evaluated each garden based on whether a garden was a good place to play, whether it was attractive to wildlife, and how the garden made them feel. At last, the most popular garden prize went to the Octavia Hill garden. A junior judge shared, “I like the Octavia Hill garden best, because its woodland holds more plants than others and the planting has attracted a lot of wildlife. It is more fun to explore and play in.” Helena Pettit the director of the RHS, stressed the importance of this show, stating, “The show was uniquely designed to prove how important it is for children to have access (通道) to nature. We’re delighted that we have children designers taking centre stage, who want to encourage other children around the world to become gardeners, to help save the planet and have fun.” 8.

(今年的切尔西花展于5月21日至25日举行，展出了一个由孩子们设计的、为孩子们设计的花园)”可知，今年的切尔西花展的特色是由孩子们设计、为孩子们设计的花园，因此今年的花展是以孩子为中心的。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Children played an important role in this year’s show. The “no adults allowed” garden was designed by primary school children. And it featured a woodland that invited exploration, a grassland with grass and wildflowers and a wetland area with bog plants. It also featured a play area that included a natural cave leading into a pool of water, providing a slide for children to enjoy. The show was a sensation, drawing in many families and community members, who were excited to see the creative designs. The young designers confidently presented their ideas to the visitors, sharing what they learned throughout the creative process. (孩子们在今年的花展中扮演了重要角色。这个“成人禁止入内”的花园是由小学生设计的，它包括了一个邀请探索的林地、一片种满草和野花的草地以及一个有沼泽植物的湿地。此外，还有一个游乐区，包含了一个通向水池的天然洞穴，并提供滑梯供孩子们玩耍。这次展览引起了轰动，吸引了许多家庭和社区成员前来参观这些创意设计。年轻设计师们自信地向参观者展示了他们的想法，并分享了他们在创作过程中学到的知识)”可知，第二段主要讲述了孩子们设计的花园非常有特色和创意，引起了大家的关注，即本段主要讲述孩子们的创造力。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Judges from primary school evaluated each garden based on whether a garden was a good place to play, whether it was attractive to wildlife, and how the garden made them feel. (来自小学的评委们根据花园是否是玩耍的好地方、是否吸引野生动物以及花园带给他们的感受来评估每个花园)”可知，小评委们选择最佳花园的依据是它对孩子们和野生动物的吸引力。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中Helena Pettit所说的话“The show was uniquely designed to prove how important it is for children to have access (通道) to nature. We’re delighted that we have children designers taking centre stage, who want to encourage other children around the world to become gardeners, to help save the planet and have fun. (这次展览的独特设计旨在证明孩子们接触自然的重要性。我们很高兴看到孩子们作为设计师成为焦点，他们希望鼓励世界各地的孩子成为园艺师，帮助拯救地球并享受乐趣)”可知，Helena Pettit认为孩子们应该做的是增加与自然的联系。故选C。 D Light pollution is the human-made change of outdoor light levels from those that naturally exist. It is the presence of unwanted, unfit, or too much artificial (人造的) lighting. Light pollution can have a number of bad effects, damaging wildlife, reducing natural beauty, and even threatening human health. Despite a growing awareness (意识) of light pollution and its effects, and the increasing number of dark-sky places, the overall situation is getting worse. According to a 2023 study published in Science magazine, the number of stars visible (可见的) in the night sky decreased between 7-10% per year from 2011 to 2022. At that rate, a location that had 250 visible stars in 2011 would see a reduction to just 100 visible stars over a decade. This worsening of light pollution is mainly due to several factors. Along with population growth, people seek higher standards of living, which leads to more roads, houses, shopping malls, and street lighting. The type of lighting in use has also changed. LED lighting makes it very cheap to have more light and brighter light than ever before. Coupled with the wrong idea that more light is better, homeowners and property managers are rapidly increasing the number of light outdoors. Unlike environmental challenges like climate change, species extinction, and habitat destruction (破坏), which require significant top-down responses, meaningful action can be taken from the bottom up to address light pollution. That means that as much as governments can make rules to limit light pollution — countries like France, Slovenia, and Croatia already have laws to this effect — individual homeowners can make a difference by using light only where and when needed. They can also choose to use warm-white or yellow light instead of blue light. This aids night vision by all animals, including people. There’s also a global movement for “dark-sky places”, which have plans to limit light pollution and communicate with local people and companies to promote good outdoor lighting practices. Right now, there are more than 350 of these dark-sky places in the whole world. 12. Why are the numbers mentioned in the second paragraph? A. To explain the bad effects of light pollution. B. To draw attention to further space exploration. C. To introduce the rapid increase in visible stars. D. To stress the achievement in reducing light pollution. 13. What may be a cause of the increase in light pollution? A. Higher demands for safety. B. The growth of homeowners. C. More affordable LED lighting. D. The rise of green awareness. 14. What can we learn about “dark-sky places” from the last paragraph? A. The attention to it is limited. B. The impact of it is unexpected. C. It has gained worldwide support. D. It has improved the communication between companies. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of Dark-Sky Movements B. The Future of LED Lighting Technology C. The Economic Impact of Light Pollution D The Growing Light Pollution and Its Solutions 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文详细阐述了光污染及其负面影响。研究揭示，光污染正日益严重，其主要原因包括人口增长、生活水平提升导致的道路、住宅、购物中心数量增加以及街灯的普及，还有LED照明技术的广泛采用。光污染问题可以通过政府立法和公众合理使用照明设备来得到有效缓解。目前，全球已有超过350个暗夜保护区致力于减少光污染。 12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to a 2023 study published in Science magazine, the number of stars visible (可见的) in the night sky decreased between 7-10% per year from 2011 to 2022. At that rate, a location that had 250 visible stars in 2011 would see a reduction to just 100 visible stars over a decade. (根据2023年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究，从2011年到2022年，夜空中可见的恒星数量每年减少7-10%。按照这个速度，2011年有250颗可见恒星的地方在十年内将减少到只有100颗可见恒星。)”可知，从2011年到2022年夜空可见星星数量每年减少7-10%，通过这一数据呈现了夜空可见星星数量因光污染而减少的情况，而星星数量减少正是光污染不良影响的体现，所以该数据是为了解释光污染的不良影响。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“LED lighting makes it very cheap to have more light and brighter light than ever before. Coupled with the wrong idea that more light is better, homeowners and property managers are rapidly increasing the number of light outdoors. (LED照明使得拥有比以往任何时候都更明亮的光线变得非常便宜。再加上光照越多越好的错误观念，房主和物业经理正在迅速增加户外的光线数量。)”可知，LED照明成本降低，使得人们能更轻易地使用更多更亮的光，从而导致光污染增加。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There’s also a global movement for “dark-sky places”, which have plans to limit light pollution and communicate with local people and companies to promote good outdoor lighting practices. Right now, there are more than 350 of these dark-sky places in the whole world. (还有一场“暗空之地”的全球运动，该运动计划限制光污染，并与当地人民和公司沟通，推广良好的户外照明实践。现在，全世界有350多个这样的黑暗天空。)”可知，“暗空之地”有计划限制光污染并推广良好户外照明实践，其目的就是减少光污染，该计划已获得全世界超过350个地区的支持。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Light pollution is the human-made change of outdoor light levels from those that naturally exist. It is the presence of unwanted, unfit, or too much artificial (人造的) lighting. Light pollution can have a number of bad effects, damaging wildlife, reducing natural beauty, and even threatening human health. (光污染是人为造成的室外光照水平与自然光照水平的变化。它是指存在不需要的、不合适的或太多的人工照明。光污染会产生许多不良影响，破坏野生动物，降低自然美景，甚至威胁人类健康。)”和第三段“This worsening of light pollution is mainly due to several factors. (光污染的恶化主要是由几个因素造成的。)”以及第四段“Unlike environmental challenges like climate change, species extinction, and habitat destruction (破坏), which require significant top-down responses, meaningful action can be taken from the bottom up to address light pollution. (与气候变化、物种灭绝和栖息地破坏等环境挑战不同，需要自上而下的重大应对措施，可以自下而上采取有意义的行动来解决光污染问题。)”可知，文章阐述光污染的概念及不良影响，接着分析光污染加剧的原因，最后提出解决光污染的办法，文章整体围绕光污染的加剧和解决办法展开。 故D选项“日益严重的光污染及其解决方案”符合文章中心。故选D。 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 3 分, 满分 15 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。 Strategic tips on how to get anything you want in life Whether you’re struggling to work or study, being ambitious will work only when you’re fired up, enthusiastic, and ready to take on the world.

Here are some ways to get started. Go for a walk, bike, or hike The easiest way to get closer to nature is to simply step outside.

B At the age of 52, Elaine Plant never expected to become a competitive cyclist. Cycling was not a part of her busy life, which was focused on raising three children and running a family business. But in 2014, everything changed when her husband decided to join a charity (慈善) bike ride. Elaine decided to join him and took out an old, rusty mountain bike from the shed. That first ride was 15 miles, and it was very hard. Elaine pushed her bike up many hills, but she started to feel curious about cycling. Determined to improve, Elaine soon got a new road bike from her husband. On her first ride with it, she struggled with the brakes (刹车) and nearly missed a junction (路口) , but she was undeterred. Her confidence grew as she practiced, and she joined a local cycling club, the Bicester Millennium. There, she met other cyclists who taught her how to ride up hills, use the gears, and ride safely in a group. Elaine’s love for cycling grew stronger, and she started competing in events. She even bought a special bike to try time trials. Joining the club was a life-changing experience for Elaine. She became close friends with a group called the “Bicester Belles.” They supported each other on and off the bike. The group even tried a cyclocross race, a bike race on rough ground. Elaine was nervous, but she conquered her fears and finished the race with a smile. Now, Elaine encourages other women to try cycling. She says, “Challenge yourself! Enjoy being on your bike and connect with others. Cycling changed my life and helped me find myself.” Her story shows that a small step can lead to great changes, bringing confidence, friendship, and joy. 4. When did Elaine decide to go cycling? A. When she found her old mountain bike. B. When her friends in a club encouraged her. C. When her husband prepared for a cycling activity. D. When she wanted to collect money for a charity project. 5. What does the underlined word “undeterred” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Not skilled. B. Not injured. C. Not experienced. D. Not stopped. 6. What can we infer about the “Bicester Belles” in paragraph 3? A They often rode alone. B. They were new to cycling. C. They often helped each other. D. They spent a lot oftime and money. 7. What is a key lesson from Elaine’s story? A. Starting a new hobby needs family support. B. Facing challenges can lead to unexpected benefits. C. Practicing often helps people become more skilled. D. Taking part in sports can make us healthy and strong. C This year’s Chelsea Flower Show, held from May 21 to 25, featured (以……为特色) a garden that was designed by children, for children. The famous show was run by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), a gardening charity in Chelsea, London. It is a chance for garden designers to show their skills and win prizes for their creations. Children played an important role in this year’s show. The “no adults allowed” garden was designed by primary school children. And it featured a woodland that invited exploration, a grassland with grass and wildflowers and a wetland area with bog plants. It also featured a play area that included a natural cave leading into a pool of water, providing a slide for children to enjoy. The show was a sensation, drawing in many families and community members, who were excited to see the creative designs. The young designers confidently presented their ideas to the visitors, sharing what they learned throughout the creative process. For the first time this year, children also took on the role of judges (裁判), giving prizes for the garden they would most like to play in. Judges from primary school evaluated each garden based on whether a garden was a good place to play, whether it was attractive to wildlife, and how the garden made them feel. At last, the most popular garden prize went to the Octavia Hill garden. A junior judge shared, “I like the Octavia Hill garden best, because its woodland holds more plants than others and the planting has attracted a lot of wildlife. It is more fun to explore and play in.” Helena Pettit, the director of the RHS, stressed the importance of this show, stating, “The show was uniquely designed to prove how important it is for children to have access (通道) to nature. We’re delighted that we have children designers taking centre stage, who want to encourage other children around the world to become gardeners, to help save the planet and have fun.” 8. What was special about the show this year? A. It was child-centered. B. It focused on various plants. C. It featured design skills. D. It was organized by primary schools. 9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The creativity of the children. B. The brief introduction to the show. C. The excitement of community members. D. The reasons for children’s participation in the show. 10. How did the little judges choose the best garden？ A. By its modern design. B. By the unique skills of designers. C. By the beauty of the garden. D. By its attraction to children and wildlife. 11. What should children do according to Helena Pettit? A. Take responsibility for their own lives. B. Take part in more relaxing events. C. Increase their connection with nature. D. Enrich their environmental knowledge. D Light pollution is the human-made change of outdoor light levels from those that naturally exist. It is the presence of unwanted, unfit, or too much artificial (人造的) lighting. Light pollution can have a number of bad effects, damaging wildlife, reducing natural beauty, and even threatening human health. Despite a growing awareness (意识) of light pollution and its effects, and the increasing number of dark-sky places, the overall situation is getting worse. According to a 2023 study published in Science magazine, the number of stars visible (可见的) in the night sky decreased between 7-10% per year from 2011 to 2022. At that rate, a location that had 250 visible stars in 2011 would see a reduction to just 100 visible stars over a decade. This worsening of light pollution is mainly due to several factors. Along with population growth, people seek higher standards of living, which leads to more roads, houses, shopping malls, and street lighting. The type of lighting in use has also changed. LED lighting makes it very cheap to have more light and brighter light than ever before. Coupled with the wrong idea that more light is better, homeowners and property managers are rapidly increasing the number of light outdoors. Unlike environmental challenges like climate change, species extinction, and habitat destruction (破坏), which require significant top-down responses, meaningful action can be taken from the bottom up to address light pollution. That means that as much as governments can make rules to limit light pollution — countries like France, Slovenia, and Croatia already have laws to this effect — individual homeowners can make a difference by using light only where and when needed.
