Beginning in Venice on April 26, 2022, Vienna Cammarota, in her seventies, arrived in China in August, 2024, the last stop of her journey to the East, trekking more than 20,000 kilometers, across fourteen countries.
Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road in 1275, Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown of Venice to retrace the route on foot. “I want to compare the China described by Marco Polo over 700 years ago with the China of today through my journey. I also hope to share my experiences and observations in China with my fellow Italians,” she says.
She first spent a few days making inroads into the ancient city of Kashgar in the autonomous region, experiencing the local folk customs and history, ranging from a century-old teahouse where she engaged with residents to learn about tea culture to a naan bread shop where she tried her hand at making the traditional staple food. During her stay, she documented the history and modernity of the ancient city through the lens of a camera, which she will share with the world.
Starting from Kashgar, Cammarota will set about a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China.
She has only a backpack of about 20 kilos, which carries her summer and winter clothing and kits, including a portable compass, a small knife and a bottle of pepper spray for protection against animal attacks.
She prefers to wander, stopping when something catches her eye and embracing the unexpected sights along the way. “Why am I doing it? Hiking has always been my passion but this journey is meant to be a message of courage and strength for everyone,” she adds.
4. Which is closest in meaning to “trekking” in paragraph 1?
A. Driving. B. Flying. C. Walking. D. Cycling.
5. Why did Cammarota retrace Marco Polo’s footsteps along the Silk Road?
A. To experience the transformation of China.
B. To learn Chinese customs and history.
C. To make a documentary about China.
D. To break Marco Polo’s record for traveling.
6. Which of the following best describes Cammarota?
A. Spirited and cooperative.
B. Determined and adventurous.
C. Passionate and considerate.
D. Sympathetic and ambitious.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Italian Hiker Overcomes Difficulties.
B. Cultural Diversity Should Be Cherished.
C. Marco Polo Remains a Mystery for Hiking Lovers.
D. Italian Grandmother Puts Her Best Foot Forward.
C
In 2015, Georgia May, a rescue dog, made a 35-mile hike home after running away during a hike in San Dirgo, California. And back in 1924, Bobbie, a collie mix (混种牧羊犬) that got separated from his family during a mad trip, made his way from Indiana ha ck home to Silverton, Oregon — a 2,800-mile-hike that look six months and crossed multiple mountain ranges.
So how do dogs accomplish such impressive journeys? They possess a powerful combination of homing instincts (本能) and sharp senses, experts say.
Tracking, or following a smell trail, is one method dogs use to navigate (导航) and familiarize themselves with their surroundings. Dogs have a sense of smell 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than ours, which gives them the capability to sniff out everything. Dogs can also recognize familiar landmarks by sight, smell, and sound. Some dogs likely establish direction themselves by recognizing the relative position of a familiar landmark to their home and their current location relative to that same landmark.
Migratory birds and whales are a handful of the animals known to make use of Earth’s magnetic field (磁场). Dogs may also possess this puzzling capability. In a study published in 2020, researchers in Czechia recruited 27 hunting dogs to participate in a three-year experiment. During more than 600 field trials, scientists placed GPS trackers and cameras on the dogs before releasing them into an unfamiliar forested area. They then tracked the animals when their owners called them back home. All of the study dogs ran an average of nearly a mile into the woods.
Nearly 60 percent of the dogs in the study used their sense of smell to retrace their steps and sniff their way back to their owners. But another 30 percent of the dog participants did something else. These dogs took a novel route by running a short distance along the forest’s north-south axis (中轴), regardless of where their owner was located. Without any familiar visual signal to draw from, the study dogs were likely navigating by Earth’s magnetic field.
8. What do Georgia: May and Bobbie have in common?
A. They once got lost. B. They were from Indiana.
C. They were adorable pet dogs. D. They were enthusiastic about hiking.
9. How are dogs likely to establish direction according to paragraph 3?
A. By finding their favorite food. B. By communicating with other dogs.
C. By identifying familiar landmarks. D. By listening to their owners’ voices.
10. What can be inferred from the study published in 2020?
A. Most of the dogs took a new route. B. Dogs need more freedom to explore forests.
C. Dogs have a certain similarity to whales. D. Dogs can find their owners with GPS trackers.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The challenges for dogs to get home. B. The characteristics possessed by dogs.
C. The dogs’ absolute loyalty to their owners. D. The home instincts and sharp senses of dogs.
D
Do you ever feel like your brain isn’t meant for modern times, like it’s a relic of a past era? After all, we wolf down fatty foods like our next meal isn’t a sure thing, even though most of us have access to many more calories than we need. We are afraid of snakes and spiders, even though we rarely encounter them now.
The human brain evolved (进化) over thousands of years to deal with immediate risks, like hunger and danger, but the vast majority of humans today are neither starving nor in danger of being bitten by a poisonous creature. Instead, the risks we face now are obesity, climate change and pollution. It seems that our brain’s threat and thinking systems are unadaptable to deal with them.
“Our brain is inborn, and the chemistry of the brain guarantees that we feel first and think second,” said David Ropeik, an expert in risk perception (感知). “That worked pretty well when the risks were lions, tigers and bears. It’s not as good now when we need to reason and use the facts more with the complicated risks.”
What can we do to overcome that? “If the brain jumps to conclusions out of emotion first, just assume that your first decision might not be the best one,” Ropeik said. “Get more information. Take more time to think.”
Dan Ariely from Duke University suggests another strategy. “When you think about your own life, you’re trapped within your own angle. You’re trapped within your own emotions and feelings and so on,” said Ariely. “But if you can think about a problem with a third-person viewpoint, you’ll likely reach a more rational (理性的) decision.”
You can also outsource your brain’s thought process to friends or family. Simply asking others for advice is a great way to tackle problems more rationally, Ariely said. For him, seeking wisdom from a team fits well with Paul Bloom’s idea: A human may be irrational, but humanity can be quite rational.
12. What do we know about our preference for fatty food?
A. It has an evolutionary root.
B. It gives us a sense of uncertainty.
C. It is a relatively rational behavior.
D. It contributes to serious food waste.
13. What is implied in David Ropeik’s words in paragraph 3?
A. It’s terrible to feel first and think second.
B. Too much information confuses our brain.
C. The human brain is outdated to some extent.
D. We can’t deal with immediate risks well now.
14. What is Dan Ariely’s suggestion on making a decision?
A. Staying calm in any situation.
B. Collecting as many facts as possible.
C. Learning from your past experiences.
D. Thinking from an outsider’s angle.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a healthier lifestyle.
B. To offer solutions to a problem.
C. To list some problems of our brain.
D. To discuss how to avoid risks.

My dad helped me build a tree house in our backyard. My sister was at camp for three whole weeks and I was on the best baseball team in town. It was all good until Jeremy Ross moved into the neighborhood. I did not like Jeremy Ross. He laughed at me when he struck me out in a baseball game. He had a party on his trampoline (蹦床) but I wasn’t even invited.
Jeremy Ross was the only person on my enemy list. I never even had an enemy list until he moved into the neighborhood. I hung the list up in my tree house, where Jeremy Ross was not allowed to go. My dad told me that when he was my age he had enemies too. But he knew a good way to get rid of them. I asked him to tell me how.
“I’ll show you how!” he said. He pulled a really old recipe book off the kitchen shelf. Inside, there was a worn-out scrap of paper with faded writing. “Enemy Pie,” he said, satisfied. I was wondering what exactly is in Enemy Pie. But Dad said the recipe was so secret. I begged him to tell me something or anything. “I’ll tell you this,” he said. “Enemy Pie is the fastest known way to get rid of enemies.” This got my mind working. What kinds of things — disgusting things — would I put into a pie for an enemy?
When Dad was preparing for the pic, I brought Dad some weeds, earthworms and rocks, but he didn’t think he needed those. I went out to play alone. I shot baskets until the ball got stuck on the roof. And all the while, I listened to the sounds of my dad chopping and stirring and blending the ingredients of Enemy Pie. I thought the Enemy Pie must be the most awful thing in the world. To my surprise, I smelled something really good. I asked Dad what was wrong. Enemy Pie shouldn’t smell this good.
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。
But Dad told me: “In order for it to work, you need to spend a day with your enemy. Even worse, you have to be nice to him.”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We played games delightedly until my Dad called us for dinner.

Beginning in Venice on April 26, 2022, Vienna Cammarota, in her seventies, arrived in China in August, 2024, the last stop of her journey to the East, trekking more than 20,000 kilometers, across fourteen countries.
Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road in 1275, Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown of Venice to retrace the route on foot. “I want to compare the China described by Marco Polo over 700 years ago with the China of today through my journey. I also hope to share my experiences and observations in China with my fellow Italians,” she says.
She first spent a few days making inroads into the ancient city of Kashgar in the autonomous region, experiencing the local folk customs and history, ranging from a century-old teahouse where she engaged with residents to learn about tea culture to a naan bread shop where she tried her hand at making the traditional staple food. During her stay, she documented the history and modernity of the ancient city through the lens of a camera, which she will share with the world.
Starting from Kashgar, Cammarota will set about a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China.
She has only a backpack of about 20 kilos, which carries her summer and winter clothing and kits, including a portable compass, a small knife and a bottle of pepper spray for protection against animal attacks.
She prefers to wander, stopping when something catches her eye and embracing the unexpected sights along the way. “Why am I doing it? Hiking has always been my passion but this journey is meant to be a message of courage and strength for everyone,” she adds.
4. Which is closest in meaning to “trekking” in paragraph 1?
A. Driving. B. Flying. C. Walking. D. Cycling.
5. Why did Cammarota retrace Marco Polo’s footsteps along the Silk Road?
A. To experience the transformation of China.
B. To learn Chinese customs and history.
C. To make a documentary about China.
D. To break Marco Polo’s record for traveling.
6. Which of the following best describes Cammarota?
A. Spirited and cooperative.
B. Determined and adventurous.
C. Passionate and considerate.
D. Sympathetic and ambitious.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Italian Hiker Overcomes Difficulties.
B. Cultural Diversity Should Be Cherished.
C Marco Polo Remains a Mystery for Hiking Lovers.
D. Italian Grandmother Puts Her Best Foot Forward.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D

In 2015, Georgia May, a rescue dog, made a 35-mile hike home after running away during a hike in San Dirgo, California. And back in 1924, Bobbie, a collie mix (混种牧羊犬) that got separated from his family during a mad trip, made his way from Indiana ha ck home to Silverton, Oregon — a 2,800-mile-hike that look six months and crossed multiple mountain ranges.
So how do dogs accomplish such impressive journeys? They possess a powerful combination of homing instincts (本能) and sharp senses, experts say.
Tracking, or following a smell trail, is one method dogs use to navigate (导航) and familiarize themselves with their surroundings. Dogs have a sense of smell 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than ours, which gives them the capability to sniff out everything. Dogs can also recognize familiar landmarks by sight, smell, and sound. Some dogs likely establish direction themselves by recognizing the relative position of a familiar landmark to their home and their current location relative to that same landmark.
Migratory birds and whales are a handful of the animals known to make use of Earth’s magnetic field (磁场). Dogs may also possess this puzzling capability. In a study published in 2020, researchers in Czechia recruited 27 hunting dogs to participate in a three-year experiment. During more than 600 field trials, scientists placed GPS trackers and cameras on the dogs before releasing them into an unfamiliar forested area. They then tracked the animals when their owners called them back home. All of the study dogs ran an average of nearly a mile into the woods.
Nearly 60 percent of the dogs in the study used their sense of smell to retrace their steps and sniff their way back to their owners. But another 30 percent of the dog participants did something else. These dogs took a novel route by running a short distance along the forest’s north-south axis (中轴), regardless of where their owner was located. Without any familiar visual signal to draw from, the study dogs were likely navigating by Earth’s magnetic field.
8. What do Georgia: May and Bobbie have in common?
A. They once got lost. B. They were from Indiana.
C. They were adorable pet dogs. D. They were enthusiastic about hiking.
9. How are dogs likely to establish direction according to paragraph 3?
A. By finding their favorite food. B. By communicating with other dogs.
C. By identifying familiar landmarks. D. By listening to their owners’ voices.
10. What can be inferred from the study published in 2020?
A. Most of the dogs took a new route. B. Dogs need more freedom to explore forests.
C. Dogs have a certain similarity to whales. D. Dogs can find their owners with GPS trackers.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The challenges for dogs to get home. B. The characteristics possessed by dogs.
C. The dogs’ absolute loyalty to their owners. D. The home instincts and sharp senses of dogs.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D

D
Do you ever feel like your brain isn’t meant for modern times, like it’s a relic of a past era? After all, we wolf down fatty foods like our next meal isn’t a sure thing, even though most of us have access to many more calories than we need. We are afraid of snakes and spiders, even though we rarely encounter them now.
The human brain evolved (进化) over thousands of years to deal with immediate risks, like hunger and danger, but the vast majority of humans today are neither starving nor in danger of being bitten by a poisonous creature. Instead, the risks we face now are obesity, climate change and pollution. It seems that our brain’s threat and thinking systems are unadaptable to deal with them.
“Our brain is inborn, and the chemistry of the brain guarantees that we feel first and think second,” said David Ropeik, an expert in risk perception (感知). “That worked pretty well when the risks were lions, tigers and bears. It’s not as good now when we need to reason and use the facts more with the complicated risks.”
What can we do to overcome that? “If the brain jumps to conclusions out of emotion first, just assume that your first decision might not be the best one,” Ropeik said. “Get more information. Take more time to think.”
Dan Ariely from Duke University suggests another strategy. “When you think about your own life, you’re trapped within your own angle. You’re trapped within your own emotions and feelings and so on,” said Ariely. “But if you can think about a problem with a third-person viewpoint, you’ll likely reach a more rational (理性的) decision.”
You can also outsource your brain’s thought process to friends or family. Simply asking others for advice is a great way to tackle problems more rationally, Ariely said. For him, seeking wisdom from a team fits well with Paul Bloom’s idea: A human may be irrational, but humanity can be quite rational.
12. What do we know about our preference for fatty food?
A. It has an evolutionary root.
B. It gives us a sense of uncertainty.
C. It is a relatively rational behavior.
D. It contributes to serious food waste.
13. What is implied in David Ropeik’s words in paragraph 3?
A. It’s terrible to feel first and think second.
B. Too much information confuses our brain.
C. The human brain is outdated to some extent.
D. We can’t deal with immediate risks well now.
14. What is Dan Ariely’s suggestion on making a decision?
A. Staying calm in any situation.
B. Collecting as many facts as possible.
C. Learning from your past experiences.
D. Thinking from an outsider’s angle.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a healthier lifestyle.
B. To offer solutions to a problem.
C. To list some problems of our brain.
D. To discuss how to avoid risks.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了经过数十万年的进化,我们的大脑能够处理饥饿和危险等直接风险,这使得我们往往会先感觉后思考,但这并不适用于现代人所面临的复杂风险,对此专家提出了几种克服的办法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中“After all, we wolf down fatty foods like our next meal isn’t a sure thing, even though most of us have access to many more calories than we need.(毕竟,我们狼吞虎咽地吃高脂肪食物,就像我们的下一餐不确定一样,尽管我们大多数人摄入的卡路里比我们需要的要多得多)”可知,尽管大多数人摄入的卡路里比需要的要多得多故,但在好像下一餐不确定的感觉下,人们会吃很多高脂肪食物,可得出人们对高脂肪食物的偏好是因为它给了我们一种不确定性。选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段““Our brain is inborn, and the chemistry of the brain guarantees that we feel first and think second,” said David Ropeik, an expert in risk perception. “That worked pretty well when the risks were lions, tigers and bears. It’s not as good now when we need to reason and use the facts more with the complicated risks.”(风险感知专家David Ropeik说,“我们的大脑是天生的,大脑的化学物质保证了我们先感觉,后思考。当风险是狮子、老虎和熊的时候,大脑工作很好。现在,当我们需要在复杂的风险中更多地推理和利用事实时,情况就不那么好了。”)”可知,David Ropeik认为大脑在处理狮子、老虎和熊这些风险的时候能够运转良好,因为我们的大脑习惯于先感觉后思考,但在面临现代的复杂风险时,由于需要推理和利用事实,大脑就没那么好用了。由此可推测出,从David Ropeik的话中我们可以总结出:在某种程度上大脑已经有点过时了。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段中“But if you can think about a problem with a third-person viewpoint, you’ll likely reach a more rational decision.(但如果你能从第三人称的角度思考问题,你可能会做出更理性的决定)”可知,Dan Ariely建议从旁观者的角度思考问题,从而作出更理性的决定。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,第一至三段主要讲述了我们大脑在现代所面临的局限性;第四段首句“What can we do to overcome that?(我们能做些什么来克服这一点?)”以问句的形式引出接下来专家Ropeik和Dan Ariely分别提出的克服大脑局限性的方法。由此可推测出,本文主要是为了提供解决大脑如今所面临的挑战的一些办法。故选B项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My dad helped me build a tree house in our backyard. My sister was at camp for three whole weeks and I was on the best baseball team in town. It was all good until Jeremy Ross moved into the neighborhood. I did not like Jeremy Ross. He laughed at me when he struck me out in a baseball game. He had a party on his trampoline (蹦床) but I wasn’t even invited.
Jeremy Ross was the only person on my enemy list. I never even had an enemy list until he moved into the neighborhood. I hung the list up in my tree house, where Jeremy Ross was not allowed to go. My dad told me that when he was my age he had enemies too. But he knew a good way to get rid of them. I asked him to tell me how.
“I’ll show you how!” he said. He pulled a really old recipe book off the kitchen shelf. Inside, there was a worn-out scrap of paper with faded writing. “Enemy Pie,” he said, satisfied. I was wondering what exactly is in Enemy Pie. But Dad said the recipe was so secret. I begged him to tell me something or anything. “I’ll tell you this,” he said. “Enemy Pie is the fastest known way to get rid of enemies.” This got my mind working. What kinds of things — disgusting things — would I put into a pie for an enemy?
When Dad was preparing for the pic, I brought Dad some weeds, earthworms and rocks, but he didn’t think he needed those. I went out to play alone. I shot baskets until the ball got stuck on the roof. And all the while, I listened to the sounds of my dad chopping and stirring and blending the ingredients of Enemy Pie. I thought the Enemy Pie must be the most awful thing in the world. To my surprise, I smelled something really good. I asked Dad what was wrong. Enemy Pie shouldn’t smell this good.
注意:

But Dad told me: “In order for it to work, you need to spend a day with your enemy. Even worse, you have to be nice to him.”

We played games delightedly until my Dad called us for dinner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
But Dad told me: “In order for it to work, you need to spend a day with your enemy. Even worse, you have to be nice to him.” It sounded incredible and awkward but thinking that I could get rid of this enemy forever, I resolved to meet him. After greeting and chatting, we were able to have fun together. He told me how to play on his trampoline and when we climbed up on the roof to get the stuck ball, Jeremy noticed my tree house. He asked whether he could go into the house. Considering I should be nice to him, I said okay to him. But I climbed up ahead of him and tore the enemy list off the wall. Time passed fleetly in our laughter.
We played games delightedly until my Dad called us for dinner. As was predicted Dad brought out the pie. But at this point, I didn’t think Jeremy was my enemy anymore. He was eager to eat the delicious pie. I panicked and shouted: “Jimmy, don’t eat it! I think it’s poisonous or something!” He looked at me curiously. “If it’s so bad,” Jeremy asked, “then why has your Dad already eaten half of it?” I turned to my Dad and he was eating Enemy Pie! Although I was still confused about the pie, what seemed obvious was that from that day on, I had lost my enemy forever and had a new close friend!
