When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money. They were some of the few Afro-Brazilians (非洲裔巴西人) in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she quickly learned that, although more than half of Brazilians have African ancestry, many of the Brazilians profiting off Black ideas do not.
This is significant considering how wide Brazil’s racial wealth gap is, even as officials have down played the existence of racism (种族歧视) in their society. The average income for white workers was 74% higher than that of black and brown workers in 2019, according to a study by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics.
In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture. The first event showcased music, plays, and literature and drew more than5,000 visitors. It also provided a platform for Barbosa and other business people to sell their products.
Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood blocked the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.
Later she grew the Feira Preta Festival into an initiative, the PretaHub platform. Over the last two decades, it has worked with more than 10,000 Black business people in many fields. “It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.”
24. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The racial wealth gap in Brazil is narrow.
B. Only a few Brazilians have African ancestry.
C. Adriana helped her family financially by selling food.
D. The average salary for white workers was low in 2019.
25. When organizing the Feira Preta Festival, Barbosa faced many challenges except ______.
A. The shortage of funding.
B. The theft of ticket income.
C. The opposition from white people.
D. The absence of the government’s support.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Adriana Barbosa?
A. Creative and strong-willed.
B Passionate and cautious.
C. Conservative and sensitive.
D. Humorous and warm-hearted.
27. What message does the text convey?
A. It’s never too old to learn.
B. Constant dripping wears away a stone.
C. From humble beginnings come great things.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
C
The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: Dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a make shift stretch of family tables — siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen in your life,” says one, remembering his first day in America.
This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson’s 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood,” Levinson told me, “you’d gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories... Now individuals sit around the TV, watching other families’ stories.”
This is the story of our times — the story of the family, once a dense group of many siblings and extended relatives, fragmenting (分裂) into ever smaller and more fragile forms. The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn’t seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle, the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families.
Although the far-reaching consequences are dramatic, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental. Too uncomfortable. Maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been breaking into pieces in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, addiction, the quality of the labor force — result from that fragmentation. We’ve left behind the nuclear-family model of 1955. For most people it’s not coming back. Americans are hungering to live in extended families, in ways that are new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when the y fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives.
It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables.
28. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs?
A The scene of warm old-day family gatherings.
B. The comparison between past and present life.
C. The description of modern family celebrations.
D. The experiences of Barry Levinson’s adulthood.
29. What does the underlined word “brittle” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strong and close.
B. Stiff and complex.
C. Flexible and adaptable.
D. Fragile and easily broken.
30. What do we know about the nuclear family?
A. It gradually falls apart with time.
B. It has been replaced by extended families.
C It has grown more stable over time.
D. It helps to broaden our family relationships.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Nuclear Family is Ideal
B. The Nuclear Family is a Mistake
C. The Extended Family is a Hit
D. The Extended Family is Outdated
D
A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world’s vegetation (植物) as how much. Reporting on Dec.11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants grew differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts.
Scientists have previously estimated that almost half of the world’s vegetation is driven primarily by how much rain falls in a year. Less well understood is the role of day-to-day variability, said lead author Andrew Feldman, an ecosystem scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
The team analyzed two decades of field and satellite observations spanning diverse lands cap es from Siberia to the southern tip of Patagonia. They found that plants across 42% of Earth’s vegetated land surface were sensitive to daily rainfall variability. Of those, a little over half grew better in years with fewer but more intense wet days. These include drier landscapes like grasslands, croplands and deserts. In contrast, broadleaf forests and rainforests in lower and middle latitudes (纬 度) tended to grew worse under those conditions, possibly because they could not tolerate the longer dry periods. Statistically, daily rainfall variability was nearly as important as annual rainfall totals in driving growth worldwide.
The new study relied primarily on a suite of NASA missions and datasets, which provides rai n and snowfall rates for most of the planet every 30 minutes using a network of international satellites. To measure plant response day to day, the researchers calculated how green an area appeared in satellite imagery. “Greenness” is commonly used to estimate vegetation density and health. They also tracked a faint reddish light that plants give off during photosynthesis (光合作用), when a plant absorbs sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into food. This faint light is an obvious sign of flourishing vegetation.
Feldman said the findings highlight the vital role that plants play in moving carbon around Earth — a process called the carbon cycle. “A finer understanding of how plants thrive or decline day to day, storm by storm, could help us better understand their role in that critical cycle,” Feld man said.
32. What is the main focus of the NASA-led study in the article?
A. The global distribution of rainfall in a given year.
B. The role of satellites in monitoring rainfall and vegetation.
C. The impact of daily rainfall variability on vegetation growth.
D. The relationship between rainfall totals and vegetation growth.
33. What is the relationship between rainfall variability and plant growth?
A. All types of vegetation respond similarly to rainfall patterns.
B. Lower latitudes rainforests grew better after longer dry periods.
C. Drier landscapes benefit from fewer but more intense rain events.
D. Rainfall variability shows a relatively weaker influence on plant growth.
34 Which method did researchers use to measure plant responses to rainfall variability?
A. Conducting field experiments in specific locations.
B. Monitoring rainfall totals using a network of satellites.
C. Measuring the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by plants.
D. Analyzing satellite imagery for vegetation density and health.
35. What is Feldman’s attitude toward the findings of this study?
A. Cautious. B. Positive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.

The shape of Australia’s school system is undergoing a significant change. Enrollments(入学人数) in independent schools are growing, while fewer students are going to public schools. Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option? ____36____
One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent schools in Australia. In the 1990s, the Howard government changed a policy to allow funding for the establishment of new schools, even in areas that already had adequate capacity in existing schools.

Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of “socioeconomic segregation(社会经济隔离)”. ____39____ The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system.
Public schools continue to educate the majority of children in remote locations. ____40____ Independent schools enroll increasing proportions of students from the most advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.
A. What account for this shift?
B. How should we deal with this shift?
C. They are those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
D. That makes them more accessible to middle-income families.
E. Parents will naturally choose what they perceive to be the best school.
F. This means different types of schools have students from different backgrounds.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It wouldn’t fly. It wouldn’t eat. What was wrong with it? I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon.
The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn’t even seem to take note of it. Just as our eyes met — mine, dark brown; its fiery orange — the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self-defense.
“I’m not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts (本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treat animals.
“I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well.
The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn’t fly for some reason. Was it exhausted? Heartbroken? Abandoned? It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind.
I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could become friends and end up adopting it.
I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn’t let me have a dog, I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right.

The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon.

When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money. They were some of the few Afro-Brazilians (非洲裔巴西人) in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she quickly learned that, although more than half of Brazilians have African ancestry, many of the Brazilians profiting off Black ideas do not.
This is significant considering how wide Brazil’s racial wealth gap is, even as officials have down played the existence of racism (种族歧视) in their society. The average income for white workers was 74% higher than that of black and brown workers in 2019, according to a study by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics.
In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture. The first event showcased music, plays, and literature and drew more than5,000 visitors. It also provided a platform for Barbosa and other business people to sell their products.
Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood blocked the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.
Later she grew the Feira Preta Festival into an initiative, the PretaHub platform. Over the last two decades, it has worked with more than 10,000 Black business people in many fields. “It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.”
24. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The racial wealth gap in Brazil is narrow.
B. Only a few Brazilians have African ancestry.
C. Adriana helped her family financially by selling food.
D. The average salary for white workers was low in 2019.
25. When organizing the Feira Preta Festival, Barbosa faced many challenges except ______.
A. The shortage of funding.
B. The theft of ticket income.
C. The opposition from white people.
D. The absence of the government’s support.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Adriana Barbosa?
A. Creative and strong-willed.
B. Passionate and cautious.
C. Conservative and sensitive.
D. Humorous and warm-hearted.
27. What message does the text convey?
A. It’s never too old to learn.
B. Constant dripping wears away a stone.
C. From humble beginnings come great things.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章通过讲述了Adriana Barbosa的成长经历和她创办的Feira Preta Festival(黑人文化节)及其后续发展,展现了她在面对家庭经济困难和种族财富差距等挑战时,如何坚持并努力推动黑人文化的发展和庆祝。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money.(当Adriana Barbosa还是个孩子的时候,她的家庭正在努力支付房租,她会卖掉祖母做的食物来筹集资金。)”可知,Adriana Barbosa通过卖食物来帮助她的家人。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood block ed the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.(这并不是说它没有遇到过挑战。资金一直是个问题。她说,一个白人社区阻止这个节日在街道上举行。一些门票收入被盗。但Barbosa决心让这一切继续下去;该节日多年来吸引了20多万游客,已成为拉丁美洲最大的黑人文化活动之一)”可知,在组织Feira Preta节时,Barbosa面临着许多挑战,有资金短缺,盗窃票务收入和白人的反对,没有提到缺少政府的支持。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture.(斯派克·李的电影到黑豹党的激进主义,Barbosa总是对一切都感到兴奋。20多岁时,她创立了创立了Feira Preta Festival,既是为了帮助支付账单,也是为了庆祝黑人文化。)”可知,是Barbosa创立了Feira Preta Festival,说明她是有创造力的;以及倒数第二段“Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood block ed the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.(这并不是说它没有遇到过挑战。资金一直是个问题。她说,一个白人社区阻止这个节日在街道上举行。一些门票收入被盗。但巴博萨决心让这一切继续下去;该节日多年来吸引了20多万游客,已成为拉丁美洲最大的黑人文化活动之一。)”可知,在举办节日期间,遇到很多困难,但是她坚持了下去,所以是意志坚强的。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.”(Barbosa说:“这始于支付房租的一个小动作。“今天,它是一个大型社会组织,为黑人创造了一个市场。”)”和全文内容可知,文章讲述了Barbosa从小行动开始,最终成就了一个大的社会组织的经历,表明了“伟大的事情源于卑微的开始”。故选C项。
C
The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: Dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a make shift stretch of family tables — siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen in your life,” says one, remembering his first day in America.
This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson’s 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood,” Levinson told me, “you’d gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories... Now individuals sit around the TV, watching other families’ stories.”
This is the story of our times — the story of the family, once a dense group of many siblings and extended relatives, fragmenting (分裂) into ever smaller and more fragile forms. The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn’t seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle, the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families.
Although the far-reaching consequences are dramatic, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental. Too uncomfortable. Maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been breaking into pieces in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, addiction, the quality of the labor force — result from that fragmentation. We’ve left behind the nuclear-family model of 1955. For most people it’s not coming back. Americans are hungering to live in extended families, in ways that are new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when the y fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives.
It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables.
28. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs?
A. The scene of warm old-day family gatherings.
B. The comparison between past and present life.
C. The description of modern family celebrations.
D. The experiences of Barry Levinson’s adulthood.
29. What does the underlined word “brittle” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strong and close.
B. Stiff and complex.
C. Flexible and adaptable.
D. Fragile and easily broken.
30. What do we know about the nuclear family?
A. It gradually falls apart with time.
B. It has been replaced by extended families.
C. It has grown more stable over time.
D. It helps to broaden our family relationships.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Nuclear Family is Ideal
B. The Nuclear Family is a Mistake
C. The Extended Family is a Hit
D. The Extended Family is Outdated
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. B

主旨大意题。根据第一段“The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: Dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a make shift stretch of family tables — siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen in your life,” says one, remembering his first day in America.(这个场景是我们许多人在家族历史中某个地方都经历过的:几十个人围着临时拼凑的家庭餐桌庆祝感恩节或其他节日——兄弟姐妹、表兄弟姐妹、叔叔阿姨、姑姑们。‘这是你一生中见过的最美丽的地方,’一个人回忆起他刚到美国的第一天时说道。)”和第二段“This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson’s 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood,” Levinson told me, “you’d gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories... Now individuals sit around the TV, watching other families’ stories.”(这个特别的家庭出现在巴里·莱文森1990年的电影《阿瓦隆》中,这部电影基于他在巴尔的摩的童年生活。‘在我的童年时代,’莱文森告诉我,‘你会围在祖父母身边,他们会讲述家族的故事……现在,人们围着电视,看着其他家庭的故事’。)”可知,前两段主要谈论了往日温馨的家庭聚会的场景。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中划线词后文的内容“In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families.(在社会的许多领域,核心家庭分裂成单亲家庭,单亲家庭分裂成混乱的家庭或没有家庭。)”可知,后文提到核心家庭的分裂,因此可推知此处划线词与D项“Fragile and easily broken(易碎的,很容易破裂)”意思相近,因为核心家庭很脆弱,所以分裂还在继续。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn’t seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle, the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families.(这种分裂的最初结果,即核心家庭,看起来并不那么糟糕。但随后,由于核心家庭如此脆弱,分裂继续。在社会的许多领域,核心家庭分裂成单亲家庭,单亲家庭分裂成混乱的家庭或没有家庭。)”可知,核心家庭随着时间的推移逐渐瓦解。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了家庭结构的变化,从过去的大家庭聚集到现在的小家庭模式,即核心家庭,以及这种变化带来的社会影响,如教育、心理健康、成瘾和劳动力质量等问题,并呼吁找回大家庭的温暖。根据最后一段“It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables.(是时候想办法找回大餐桌了。)”可知,作者认为核心家庭模式存在问题,应该回归大家庭模式,即认为核心家庭是一个错误。由此可知,B项“核心家庭是一个错误”适合做本文最佳标题。故选B项。
D
A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world’s vegetation (植物) as how much. Reporting on Dec.11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants grew differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts.
Scientists have previously estimated that almost half of the world’s vegetation is driven primarily by how much rain falls in a year. Less well understood is the role of day-to-day variability, said lead author Andrew Feldman, an ecosystem scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
The team analyzed two decades of field and satellite observations spanning diverse lands cap es from Siberia to the southern tip of Patagonia. They found that plants across 42% of Earth’s vegetated land surface were sensitive to daily rainfall variability. Of those, a little over half grew better in years with fewer but more intense wet days. These include drier landscapes like grasslands, croplands and deserts. In contrast, broadleaf forests and rainforests in lower and middle latitudes (纬 度) tended to grew worse under those conditions, possibly because they could not tolerate the longer dry periods. Statistically, daily rainfall variability was nearly as important as annual rainfall totals in driving growth worldwide.
The new study relied primarily on a suite of NASA missions and datasets, which provides rai n and snowfall rates for most of the planet every 30 minutes using a network of international satellites. To measure plant response day to day, the researchers calculated how green an area appeared in satellite imagery. “Greenness” is commonly used to estimate vegetation density and health. They also tracked a faint reddish light that plants give off during photosynthesis (光合作用), when a plant absorbs sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into food. This faint light is an obvious sign of flourishing vegetation.
Feldman said the findings highlight the vital role that plants play in moving carbon around Earth — a process called the carbon cycle. “A finer understanding of how plants thrive or decline day to day, storm by storm, could help us better understand their role in that critical cycle,” Feld man said.
32. What is the main focus of the NASA-led study in the article?
A. The global distribution of rainfall in a given year.
B. The role of satellites in monitoring rainfall and vegetation.
C. The impact of daily rainfall variability on vegetation growth.
D. The relationship between rainfall totals and vegetation growth.
33. What is the relationship between rainfall variability and plant growth?
A. All types of vegetation respond similarly to rainfall patterns.
B. Lower latitudes rainforests grew better after longer dry periods.
C. Drier landscapes benefit from fewer but more intense rain events.
D. Rainfall variability shows a relatively weaker influence on plant growth.
34. Which method did researchers use to measure plant responses to rainfall variability?
A. Conducting field experiments in specific locations.
B. Monitoring rainfall totals using a network of satellites.
C. Measuring the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by plants.
D. Analyzing satellite imagery for vegetation density and health.
35. What is Feldman’s attitude toward the findings of this study?
A. Cautious. B. Positive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国宇航局领导的一项新研究发现,某一年的降雨方式对世界植被的影响几乎和降雨量一样重要,并且强调了这项研究的重要性和意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world’s vegetation (植物) as how much. Reporting on Dec.11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants grew differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts. (美国宇航局领导的一项新研究发现,某一年的降雨方式对世界植被的影响几乎和降雨量一样重要。研究人员在12月11日的《自然》杂志上报道,即使在降雨总量相似的年份,当降雨量减少、降雨量增加时,植物的生长也会有所不同。)”可知,美国宇航局领导的研究的主要关注点是每日降雨量变化对植被生长的影响。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Of those, a little over half grew better in years with fewer but more intense wet days. These include drier landscapes like grasslands, croplands and deserts.(其中,有一半以上的植物在雨天较少但强度较大的年份生长得更好。这些包括草原、农田和沙漠等干燥景观。)”可知,较干燥的景观得益于较少但更强烈的降雨事件。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“To measure plant response day to day, the researchers calculated how green an area appeared in satellite imagery. “Greenness” is commonly used to estimate vegetation density and health.(为了测量植物的日常反应,研究人员计算了一片区域在卫星图像上看起来有多绿。“绿色”通常用于估计植被密度和健康状况。)”可知,研究人员通过分析卫星图像中的植被密度和健康状况来测量植物对降雨量变化的反应。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Feldman said the findings highlight the vital role that plants play in moving carbon around Earth — a process called the carbon cycle. “A finer understanding of how plants thrive or decline day to day, storm by storm, could help us better understand their role in that critical cycle,” Feld man said.(Feldman说,这些发现凸显了植物在地球碳循环过程中所发挥的重要作用。Feldman说:“更好地了解植物如何在日常、风暴中茁壮成长或衰落,可以帮助我们更好地了解它们在这个关键周期中的作用。”)”可推知,Feldman说明了这项发现所发挥的重要作用,因此对这项研究的结果持肯定的态度。故选B。

The shape of Australia’s school system is undergoing a significant change. Enrollments(入学人数) in independent schools are growing, while fewer students are going to public schools. Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option? ____36____
One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent schools in Australia. In the 1990s, the Howard government changed a policy to allow funding for the establishment of new schools, even in areas that already had adequate capacity in existing schools.
New independent schools tend to charge lower fees than established elite schools. ____37____ According to Independent Schools Australia, the largest growth in enrollments is in schools charging fees of around A$5,0 00 per year.
____38____ New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car has spoken about this issue for her own son, who attends an independent primary school: “We were in one of the suburbs where the government didn’t build a school.”
Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of “socioeconomic segregation(社会经济隔离)”. ____39____ The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system.
Public schools continue to educate the majority of children in remote locations. ____40____ Independent schools enroll increasing proportions of students from the most advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.
A. What account for this shift?
B. How should we deal with this shift?
C. They are those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
D. That makes them more accessible to middle-income families.
E. Parents will naturally choose what they perceive to be the best school.
F. This means different types of schools have students from different backgrounds.
G. In some cases, state governments are slow to build new public schools in suburbs.
【答案】36. A 37. D 38. G 39. F 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚独立学校的入学人数超过公立学校的入学人数的原因。
【36题详解】
根据空前“Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option?(为什么更多的家庭选择独立学校,而不是免费的公立学校呢?)”和空后“One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent schools in Australia.(一个原因可能是政策的变化,允许在澳大利亚建立新的独立学校。)”可知,空前提出问题,为什么更多的家庭选择独立学校,空后提出了其中一个可能的原因,故A项“什么导致了这种转变呢?”符合,在此处承上启下,A项中的that shift指代前文的“更多的家庭选择独立学校”,引出后文的具体原因,故选A项。
【37题详解】
根据空前“New independent schools tend to charge lower fees than established elite schools.(新的独立学校往往比老牌精英学校的收费更低。)”可知,独立学校比老牌精英学校收费低,D项“这使得中收入家庭更能支付。”是空前的顺义承接,因此,中收入家庭更能支付,从而导致更多的家庭选择独立学校,D项中的“them”指代空前的“New independent schools”,故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据空后“New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car has spoken about this issue for her own son, who attends an independent primary school: “We were in one of the suburbs where the government didn’t build a school.”(新南威尔士州教育部长Prue Car曾谈到她儿子的这个问题,他就读于一所独立的小学:“我们住在一个政府没有建学校的郊区。”)”可知,本段主要介绍了教育部长的儿子就读独立学校的原因是他们住在一个政府没有建学校的郊区,故G项“在某些情况下,州政府在郊区建设新公立学校的速度较慢。”符合,总结后文内容,说明越来越多的家庭选择独立学校的另一个原因是因为州政府在郊区建设新公立学校的速度较慢,故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据空前“Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of “socioeconomic segregation(社会经济隔离)”.(与其他国家相比,澳大利亚的学校具有较高的社会经济隔离水平。)”和空后“The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system.(去付费私立学校的学生人数的增加意味着我们的学校系统中的隔离现象越来越严重。)”可知,空前提到了澳大利亚学校社会经济隔离水平较高,空后提出了去私立学校的人数增加导致这种隔离现象越来越严重,故F项“这意味着不同学校的学生来自不同的背景。”符合,澳大利亚学校具有较高的社会经济隔离水平,就意味着不同学校的学生来自不同的背景,去私立学校的人更多也就意味着这种隔离现象越来越严重,故选F项。
【40题详解】
根据空前“Public schools continue to educate the majority of children in remote locations.(公立学校继续教育偏远地区的大多数儿童。)”可知,空前提到公立学校教育的是偏远地区的儿童,故C项“他们都是背景不太优越的孩子。”符合,C项中的“They”指代前文的“the majority of children in remote locations”,公立学校教育的是偏远地区的儿童,他们都是背景不太优越的孩子,故选C项。

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It wouldn’t fly. It wouldn’t eat. What was wrong with it? I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon.
The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn’t even seem to take note of it. Just as our eyes met — mine, dark brown; its fiery orange — the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self-defense.
“I’m not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts (本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treat animals.
“I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well.
The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn’t fly for some reason. Was it exhausted? Heartbroken? Abandoned? It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind.
I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could become friends and end up adopting it.
I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn’t let me have a dog I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination.

【答案】范文
So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. After all, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I prepared a warm and cozy corner in my room for it. Soft rags were carefully lined there, creating a comfortable nest. I talked to it softly, sharing stories of my other pets and the adventures we had together. I even played some gentle music, thinking it might soothe the bird. Gradually, the pigeon began to relax a bit, starting to peck at the grains and take small bites. It was a small step, but it gave me hope that it was beginning to trust me. As night fell and deepened, I took one last peek at the pigeon before drifting off to sleep.
The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon. The sound was a delightful surprise, a sign that the bird was feeling more at ease. As we gathered in my room, the pigeon slightly spread its wings as if testing the air. It seemed to have regained some of its energy overnight. I placed a few more grains on the floor, and this time, the pigeon approached the food directly, suggesting that it was slowly regaining its trust in the world around it. Seeing this, my parents and I exchanged smiles with each other. By the afternoon, the pigeon had made its way to the window. With a sudden burst of energy, the pigeon spread its wings and flew away, leaving us with a heartwarming memory.
