In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eye proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegansaid.
However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said.
Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ on her resume.
Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said.
When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter.
4. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013?
A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship.
C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction.
5. What led to Deegan’s decision to start a baking business?
A Receiving encouragement from friends. B. Seeing people running to get cookies.
C. Working previously in the baking industry. D. Wanting desperately to gain total control.
6. What makes Deegan’s hiring approach unique?
A. She values employees who love baking.
B. She offers training to inexperienced workers.
C. She hires people eager to work despite their past.
D. She prioritizes creativity over qualifications.
7. What can be a suitable title for this text?
A. Overcoming Addiction: A New Beginning of Life
B. From Struggle to Success: A Story of Rebuilding Life
C. Pie Crust Cookies: The Key to Success
D. The Art of Baking: Turning Life Around
C
Having an extra slice of cake, buying expensive clothes, or sleeping in until 11 A.M. may bring you great enjoyment. It might be something that makes your week worth it or how you get through a stressful day. Still, you may feel embarrassment or shame if you admit to it. This is why “guilty pleasures” exist. It comes from the idea that when we treat ourselves, it can sometimes leave us feeling guilty.
Perhaps we don’t feel we deserved it, or we don’t think it was a responsible way to spend our money. What if we told you that you shouldn’t feel bad about your guilty pleasures and that they are actually fantastic for you? Keep reading to discover why you should indulge occasionally.
Psychologists say that buying things for yourself can make you feel better because it gives you a chance to take control of your situation. It can also give you social contact and a confidence boost from changes you make to your self-image. When you feel under the weather, treating yourself might be the lift you need. When you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself and maintaining a positive outlook.
Permitting yourself to enjoy things can help you deal with symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can even be a protective factor against depression. Life isn’t easy, and when we’re struggling, we need to be kind to ourselves. Indulging in the things that bring us joy can envelop us in comfort during tough times. As long as your guilty pleasure is harmless, there is no reason not to do it. Our brain’s neural pathways light up when we do things we enjoy. This makes it easier to gain feelings of happiness.
As we said earlier, guilt and happiness can be mixed up in our minds. Rather than fighting them or trying to replace them, welcome them. Eventually, embracing these feelings can enhance your overall well-being and happiness.
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “indulge” in the second paragraph?
A. ignore expense. B. embrace oneself.
C. satisfy oneself. D. deny guilty feelings.
9. According to psychologists mentioned in the text, what effect does buying things for oneself have?
A. It leads to financial instability.
B. It can create feelings of guilt and shame.
C. It enhances self-control and improves mood.
D. It causes social isolation and low self-esteem.
10. Which of the following belongs to looking after yourself according to psychologists?
A. Going to the cinema. B. Volunteering in the community.
C. Working overtime to meet deadlines. D. Ignoring your hobbies.
11. How does the text propose we should deal with the feelings of guilt?
A. Fight against them. B. Replace them with happiness.
C. Welcome and embrace them. D. Suppress them completely.
D
When Mammola and Ficetola went to an ecology conference in 2021, they met a scientist with an unusual complaint. Jennifer Anderson, an expert in aquatic fungi(水生真菌), said that the subject of her research was not available in emoji(表情符号) form. “If you are doing the important work of trying to save whales, you can use pictures or images to help you communicate this,” said Anderson. “If you are working to save the aquatic fungi, you first must let people know that they exist, and then describe in words what they look like.”
Struck by their conversation with Anderson and alarmed at how unusual species were ignored, the Italian scientists set out to find out how well species were represented in the emoji library. The answer wasn’t satisfactory at all: animals were well represented by available emojis but plants, fungi and microorganisms(微生物) were not. “Our findings confirm a typical prejudice in biodiversity research and a feature of human psychology,” said Mammola. “We usually feel more caring and sympathetic towards living things that are genetically closer to us.”
“A good representation of species on social media can arouse interest in unfamiliar organisms, greatly help publicize the message that biodiversity is much more than just cats, dogs, lions and pandas, and indirectly help conservation efforts,” said Mammola. “There are an impressive number of organisms, and all of them play a fundamental role on our planet, even the ones we know less about.”
Some scientists have taken steps to describe their research on their phone keyboards with images instead of words. However, according to Mammola, the number of animal species represented rose from 45 in 2015 to 92 in 2022, yet the number of plants, fungi and microorganisms represented barely increased.
Anderson said she wanted emojis for organisms like aquatic fungi as reflections of increased public awareness and indicators of their ecological value. “Having an emoji indicates that an organism is valued or important enough to be part of daily conversation,” she said.
12. What did Anderson complain about?
A. Lack of available emojis for aquatic fungi.
B. People’s disinterest in studying aquatic fungi.
C. People’s unwillingness to save aquatic fungi.
D. Difficulty in describing aquatic fungi in words.
13. Why are animal species better represented than other species?
A. They are more common species. B. They matter more to biodiversity.
C. They encourage human sympathy. D. They help remove human prejudice.
14. What is the benefit of a good representation of species on social media?
A Facilitating communication between scientists.
B. Making biodiversity research more satisfactory.
C Deepening people’s understanding of biodiversity.
D. Helping people grasp complex concepts of science.
15. What is Mammola’s attitude toward the progress of emoji biodiversity?
A. Unclear. B. Unsatisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful.

47. 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。
It was Christmas Eve morning, and I awoke with a mission: to find my lost cat, Daisy. Sure, it had been six months since she’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles, after all.
She was a beautiful lady, her fur a soft blend of brown, gold, and black stripes (条纹). Most importantly, she was a smart cat. I used to take her everywhere I could in a carrier (猫笼), and she was so clever that she learned to walk into it on her own, something I never thought a cat would do. At home, Daisy would enjoy a good nap curled up inside my parents’ fireplace. We loved her so much that she was in the family’s Christmas picture every year. So, we wouldn’t like her missing this year’s.
Dad always supported me, but he was so skeptical. He spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst despite the fact that he spent all six months looking for the cat. “She’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her,” he said. I rolled my eyes! He could do with a little more faith! Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I knew I’d see Daisy again. She’d been a stray (走失的宠物) when I found her — a tough little girl that had survived all on her own. If any cat could do the impossible, it was my Daisy.
This Christmas, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Daisy’s cat carrier and loaded it into the car, then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter, hoping she’d been found. My eyes scanned cats of all shapes and sizes at the shelter. Much to my disappointment, none of them was my Daisy. We drove through the town without rest, checking every shelter and asking everyone we could find, but each response was the same: no one had seen her. Finally, we pulled over in front of the last shelter in town.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I stepped into the house and heard a familiar meow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I knew I had to prove to the staff that she was my cat.

In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eye proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegansaid.
However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said.
Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ on her resume.
Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said.
When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter.
4. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013?
A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship.
C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction.
5. What led to Deegan’s decision to start a baking business?
A. Receiving encouragement from friends. B. Seeing people running to get cookies.
C. Working previously in the baking industry. D. Wanting desperately to gain total control.
6. What makes Deegan’s hiring approach unique?
A. She values employees who love baking.
B. She offers training to inexperienced workers.
C. She hires people eager to work despite their past.
D. She prioritizes creativity over qualifications.
7. What can be a suitable title for this text?

B. From Struggle to Success: A Story of Rebuilding Life
C. Pie Crust Cookies: The Key to Success

【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B

Having an extra slice of cake, buying expensive clothes, or sleeping in until 11 A.M. may bring you great enjoyment. It might be something that makes your week worth it or how you get through a stressful day. Still, you may feel embarrassment or shame if you admit to it. This is why “guilty pleasures” exist. It comes from the idea that when we treat ourselves, it can sometimes leave us feeling guilty.
Perhaps we don’t feel we deserved it, or we don’t think it was a responsible way to spend our money. What if we told you that you shouldn’t feel bad about your guilty pleasures and that they are actually fantastic for you? Keep reading to discover why you should indulge occasionally.
Psychologists say that buying things for yourself can make you feel better because it gives you a chance to take control of your situation. It can also give you social contact and a confidence boost from changes you make to your self-image. When you feel under the weather, treating yourself might be the lift you need. When you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself and maintaining a positive outlook.
Permitting yourself to enjoy things can help you deal with symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can even be a protective factor against depression. Life isn’t easy, and when we’re struggling, we need to be kind to ourselves. Indulging in the things that bring us joy can envelop us in comfort during tough times. As long as your guilty pleasure is harmless, there is no reason not to do it. Our brain’s neural pathways light up when we do things we enjoy. This makes it easier to gain feelings of happiness.
As we said earlier, guilt and happiness can be mixed up in our minds. Rather than fighting them or trying to replace them, welcome them. Eventually, embracing these feelings can enhance your overall well-being and happiness.
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “indulge” in the second paragraph?
A. ignore expense. B. embrace oneself.
C. satisfy oneself. D. deny guilty feelings.
9. According to psychologists mentioned in the text, what effect does buying things for oneself have?
A. It leads to financial instability.
B. It can create feelings of guilt and shame.
C. It enhances self-control and improves mood.
D. It causes social isolation and low self-esteem.
10. Which of the following belongs to looking after yourself according to psychologists?
A. Going to the cinema. B. Volunteering in the community.
C. Working overtime to meet deadlines. D. Ignoring your hobbies.
11. How does the text propose we should deal with the feelings of guilt?
A. Fight against them. B. Replace them with happiness.
C. Welcome and embrace them. D. Suppress them completely.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. C

When Mammola and Ficetola went to an ecology conference in 2021, they met a scientist with an unusual complaint. Jennifer Anderson, an expert in aquatic fungi(水生真菌), said that the subject of her research was not available in emoji(表情符号) form. “If you are doing the important work of trying to save whales, you can use pictures or images to help you communicate this,” said Anderson. “If you are working to save the aquatic fungi, you first must let people know that they exist, and then describe in words what they look like.”
Struck by their conversation with Anderson and alarmed at how unusual species were ignored, the Italian scientists set out to find out how well species were represented in the emoji library. The answer wasn’t satisfactory at all: animals were well represented by available emojis but plants, fungi and microorganisms(微生物) were not. “Our findings confirm a typical prejudice in biodiversity research and a feature of human psychology,” said Mammola. “We usually feel more caring and sympathetic towards living things that are genetically closer to us.”
“A good representation of species on social media can arouse interest in unfamiliar organisms, greatly help publicize the message that biodiversity is much more than just cats, dogs, lions and pandas, and indirectly help conservation efforts,” said Mammola. “There are an impressive number of organisms, and all of them play a fundamental role on our planet, even the ones we know less about.”
Some scientists have taken steps to describe their research on their phone keyboards with images instead of words. However, according to Mammola, the number of animal species represented rose from 45 in 2015 to 92 in 2022, yet the number of plants, fungi and microorganisms represented barely increased.
Anderson said she wanted emojis for organisms like aquatic fungi as reflections of increased public awareness and indicators of their ecological value. “Having an emoji indicates that an organism is valued or important enough to be part of daily conversation,” she said.
12. What did Anderson complain about?
A. Lack of available emojis for aquatic fungi.
B. People’s disinterest in studying aquatic fungi.
C. People’s unwillingness to save aquatic fungi.
D. Difficulty in describing aquatic fungi in words.
13. Why are animal species better represented than other species?
A. They are more common species. B. They matter more to biodiversity.
C. They encourage human sympathy. D. They help remove human prejudice.
14. What is the benefit of a good representation of species on social media?
A. Facilitating communication between scientists.
B. Making biodiversity research more satisfactory.
C. Deepening people’s understanding of biodiversity.
D. Helping people grasp complex concepts of science.
15. What is Mammola’s attitude toward the progress of emoji biodiversity?
A. Unclear. B. Unsatisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是是一篇说明文。文章通过Mammola和Ficetola在会议上与Anderson的交谈引出话题,详细阐述了他们对表情符号库中物种代表性的研究及发现,包括动物、植物、真菌和微生物在表情符号中的呈现情况,说明了良好的物种表情符号呈现对宣传生物多样性的意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jennifer Anderson, an expert in aquatic fungi(水生真菌), said that the subject of her research was not available in emoji(表情符号) form. (Jennifer Anderson,一位水生真菌专家,说她的研究对象没有可用的表情符号形式。)”可知,Anderson不满的是她的研究对象缺乏表情符号,故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“We usually feel more caring and sympathetic towards living things that are genetically closer to us. (我们通常对与我们在基因上更接近的生物更有爱心和同情心。)”可知,之所以动物表情符号更多是因为人们通常对与其在基因上更接近的生物感到更关心和同情,故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“ ‘A good representation of species on social media can arouse interest in unfamiliar organisms, greatly help publicize the message that biodiversity is much more than just cats, dogs, lions and pandas, and indirectly help conservation efforts,’ said Mammola. (Mammola说:“在社交媒体上展示物种可以引起人们对不熟悉生物的兴趣,极大地有助于宣传生物多样性不仅仅是猫、狗、狮子和熊猫的信息,并间接有助于保护工作。)”可知,有更多的表情符号能够有助于让更多人了解生物多样性,故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“However, according to Mammola, the number of animal species represented rose from 45 in 2015 to 92 in 2022, yet the number of plants, fungi and microorganisms represented barely increased. (然而,根据Mammola数据,代表的动物物种数量从2015年的45种增加到2022年的92种,但代表的植物、真菌和微生物的数量几乎没有增加。)”可知,根据Mammola的说法,尽管动物物种的表情符号数量有所增长,但植物、真菌和微生物的表情符号数量几乎没有增加,所以Mammola对于表情符号多样性的进展现状是不满意的,故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着互联网的发展,登录网站时需要输入验证码已成为不可避免的事情,以及验证码的发展历程和作用。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着互联网的发展,登录网站时必须输入验证码已成为不可避免的事情。when引导时间状语从句,从句中省略了主语和be动词,完整形式为when (you are) logging into websites,you和log之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作状语。故填logging。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:你是否曾经努力区分过‘I’、‘L’和‘l’?或者你是否曾经被要求在九个不同的方块中点击公交车,感觉自己像个傻瓜?空处前后部分为选择关系,故用连词or,句首单词首字母大写。故填Or。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这种包括数字、文本和图像的验证方法被称为验证码系统,代表“全自动区分计算机和人类的图灵测试的缩写。”。system为可数名词,此处特指 “验证码系统”,应用定冠词the。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:它通过给人们双倍的任务但对机器人不可能完成的任务来检查用户是否是人类,这阻止了骗子使用机器人滥用网站。空处引导宾语从句,从句中不缺少成分,根据语境,此处表示“是否”,需用连接词whether/if 引导。故填whether/if。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它通过给人们双倍的任务但对机器人不可能完成的任务来检查用户是否是人类,这阻止了骗子使用机器人滥用网站。use sth. to do sth.为固定用法,意为“使用某物去做某事”,空处需用不定式作宾语补足语。故填 to misuse。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:对于人类来说,验证码系统听起来完全是正面的。human为可数名词,此处表泛指应用复数形式。故填humans。
【42题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:然而,自从2007年推出免费的验证码服务reCAPTCHA以来,人们可能一直在免费地担任“数据标注劳动者”。空处在从句中作谓语,根据时间状语in 2007可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,主语reCAPTCHA和launch之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数名词,be动词用was。故填was launched。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,自从2007年推出免费的验证码服务reCAPTCHA以来,人们可能一直在免费地担任“数据标注劳动者”。for free为固定短语,意为“免费”。故填for。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:例如,reCAPTCHA向用户显示一个扫描仪可以识别的单词和一个不能识别的单词,比如报纸上的一个变形单词。不定冠词a后面需加单数可数名词,此处表示“扫描仪”,用名词scanner。故填scanner。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:因此,通过回答验证问题,用户正在手动将纸质材料转换为数字文本。空处修饰动词transforming,需用副词形式,作状语。故填manually。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 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。
It was Christmas Eve morning, and I awoke with a mission: to find my lost cat, Daisy. Sure, it had been six months since she’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles, after all.
She was a beautiful lady, her fur a soft blend of brown, gold, and black stripes (条纹). Most importantly, she was a smart cat. I used to take her everywhere I could in a carrier (猫笼), and she was so clever that she learned to walk into it on her own, something I never thought a cat would do. At home, Daisy would enjoy a good nap curled up inside my parents’ fireplace. We loved her so much that she was in the family’s Christmas picture every year. So, we wouldn’t like her missing this year’s.
Dad always supported me, but he was so skeptical. He spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst despite the fact that he spent all six months looking for the cat. “She’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her,” he said. I rolled my eyes! He could do with a little more faith! Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I knew I’d see Daisy again. She’d been a stray (走失的宠物) when I found her — a tough little girl that had survived all on her own. If any cat could do the impossible, it was my Daisy.
This Christmas, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Daisy’s cat carrier and loaded it into the car, then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter, hoping she’d been found. My eyes scanned cats of all shapes and sizes at the shelter. Much to my disappointment, none of them was my Daisy. We drove through the town without rest, checking every shelter and asking everyone we could find, but each response was the same: no one had seen her. Finally, we pulled over in front of the last shelter in town.

【答案】范文
I stepped into the house and heard a familiar meow. I followed the sound and my eyes fell on a little cat with big green eyes. She was skinnier than I remembered, but it was Daisy ! My eye welled up with tears. I opened the cage door. Daisy practically jumped into my arms. I held her close as Dad looked on. “There’s just no way…,” he mumbled. The shelter staff were skeptical too, saying the cat had just been brought in during the morning storm.
I knew I had to prove to the staff that she was my cat. I grabbed the carrier. I’d trained Daisy to walk inside the carrier. Sure enough, when she was let down, she made a dash for the carrier and rushed right inside. I was overjoyed to have her back. It was a miracle that she had managed to survive on her own for so long, and I was filled with admiration for her strength and determination. I thanked my lucky stars that I had never given up hope, and that I had come to the shelter one last time.
