In April 2023, he got sued (起诉) because a stray cat he fed tripped (绊倒) a man surnamed Wu, which led to a serious injury (重伤). The accident happened when Wu was playing badminton at the gym where Xiao works. In July, the Minhang District People’ s Court (法院) ordered Xiao to pay compensation (赔偿) of 48,000 yuan. At the same time, the gym was also ordered to pay compensation of over 192,000 yuan. Upon hearing the news, many people felt sorry for Xiao. “The feeder is so warm-hearted. He shouldn’t receive such a punishment,” said Cui Luoyao, a 14-year-old from Beijing. However, showing love to stray animals shouldn’t hurt the rights of others, or they should bear the responsibility. Even though Xiao didn’t own the cat, feeding it near. the gym created a dangerous environment in the sports area and led to a man getting hurt. In other words, he hurt others indirectly. 9. Who does the underline word “them” in Para. I refer to? A. Homeless animals. B. Gym coaches. C. People in court. D. Stray animal feeders. 10. Why did Mr Xiao get sued last year? A.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了上海一位姓肖的健身教练因喂养流浪猫而导致一名男子受伤并被起诉的事件。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“If kind-hearted people meet stray animals, they always want to feed them. However, it may put them in an unexpected situation.”这里说善良的人遇到流浪动物想喂它们，然而这可能会把“them”置于意想不到的情况。结合后文上海一位教练喂流浪猫被起诉的事例可知，是喂流浪动物的人会陷入意想不到的情况，所以“them”指的是流浪动物喂食者。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In April 2023, he got sued because a stray cat he fed tripped a man surnamed Wu, which led to a serious injury.”可知，肖先生被起诉是因为他间接伤害了一名男子。故选C。 【11题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章第三段“Upon hearing the news, many people felt sorry for Xiao. ‘The feeder is so warm-hearted. He shouldn’t receive such a punishment,’ said Cui Luoyao, a 14-year-old from Beijing.”可知，崔洛瑶认为这是不公平的。故选C。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Even though Xiao didn’t own the cat, feeding it near the gym created a dangerous environment in the sports area and led to a man getting hurt. In other words, he hurt others indirectly.”可知，喂养流浪动物的人应该知道可能的结果。故选D。 D ①Do you know that architecture (建筑) can shape who we become? For example, studies show that rooms with lower ceilings can make you more focused, while rooms with higher ceilings can make you more creative. ②Connecting nature with buildings is good for our bodies and minds. A study by Heidelberg University in Germany found that people who grew up in the countryside were less likely to have mental illnesses than those raised in cities.Vancouver, Canada, is a city surrounded by mountains and seas. The city plans its buildings carefully so that tall ones don’t block people’s views of the ocean and mountains. ③Architecture that lacks soul can also affect our moods. For examnple, in a study that took place in Lower Manhattan, New York City, people’s moods worsened as they walked past the dull (无趣的) glass front of a supermarket. They even started walking faster, as if they wanted to get away quickly. However, when they reached lively restaurants and shops, their moods improved a lot. ④To make architecture more interesting, designers should avoid too many flat and straight designs. These kinds of designs don’t allow light and shadow to create interesting patterns. They also don’t fit well with nature, making buildings seem boring.To add life to architecture, designers should pick colours carefully to create different moods, according to Forbes. Bright colours like yellow and orange can make people feel energetic and happy, while calm colours like blue and green can help people feel relaxed. ⑤So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that make you happy and, ideally, let you see nature too. 13. How does the writer start the topic in the first paragraph? A. By asking a question. B. By giving examples. C. By comparing. D. By listing numbers. 14. What did the study by Heidelberg University find about people growing up in the countryside? A. They preferred to live in rooms with high ceilings. B. They were interested in living in tall buildings. C. They were more likely to be creative workers. D. They were at a lower risk of having mental health problems. 15. Which one is the structure of the passage? A. ①|②|③④|⑤ B. ①|②③|④|⑤ C. ①②|③|④|⑤ D. ①②|③|④|⑤ 16. According to the passage, to improve our own well-being, we should ________ A. live in cities all the time B. often walk past the glass front of places C. be around mood-lifting buildings D. live in houses with lower ceilings 【答案】13. A 14. D 15. B 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了建筑如何影响我们心理和行为，并通过具体例子和研究成果来说明建筑与自然、设计元素之间的关系。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Do you know that architecture can shape who we become?”可知，作者通过提问的方式引入话题。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A study by Heidelberg University in Germany found that people who grew up in the countryside were less likely to have mental illnesses than those raised in cities.”可知，乡村长大的人患精神疾病的风险较低。故选D。 【15题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段提出建筑能塑造我们成为什么样的人这一观点。 第二段说明将自然与建筑联系对身心有益。 第三段指出缺乏灵魂的建筑会影响我们的情绪。 第四段阐述设计师应如何让建筑更有趣。 第五段总结为了自身幸福，要让自己处于能带来快乐的建筑环境中且最好能看到自然。 整体结构为总分总，先提出观点，中间从不同方面阐述，最后总结。因此，文章的结构是①|②③|④|⑤。故选B。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that make you happy and, ideally, let you see nature too.”可知，我们应该置身于能提升情绪的建筑物周围。故选C。 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Imagine you are going to give a speech the next day.

So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract (转移注意力) yourself for a bit: ____19____ Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. ____20____ It can be hard at first, but recognising that you are overthinking can help you make a change. A. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you are doing something fun. B. Overthinking means going over the same thought and simplest situations again and again. C.

You have probably noticed how noisy and crowded cities can be. What if you could live next to a calm lake or river instead? As it turns out, living near water, such as oceans, lakes, rivers or ponds, can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometre from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental health problems than those who live 50 km or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. People who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better physical and mental health as well. So how does “blue space” make us feel better? For one thing, aquatic (与水相关的) environments tend to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of which are related to better physical and mental health. People who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not. There is also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is because sea air is charged (带电的) with negative ions (负离子). These ions balance our levels of serotonin (血清素), a body chemical that has an effect on our mood. With balanced serotonin levels, we feel more calm and relaxed. Finally, people who live near water tend to be more physically active. Water sports like swimming and rowing can help us stay in shape, which in turn keeps us healthy. 41. Why are cities not suitable for people to live in? ______________________________ 42. How can living near water help people feel? ______________________________ 43. After spending time near the ocean, how will people feel? ______________________________ 44. Do you like living in a city or near the water? Why? (Write 30 words or more.) ______________________________ 【答案】41. Because they are noisy and crowed. 42. It can help people feel both happier and healthier. 43. They will feel more relaxed than usual. 44. I like living near the water. Because the scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. It’s peaceful and relaxing. I can enjoy activities like fishing or just listening to the sound of the waves. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了住在水边的好处。 【41题详解】 根据“Do you live in a city? You have probably noticed how noisy and crowded cities can be.”可知，城市不适合居住的原因是它们嘈杂和拥挤。故填Because cities are noisy and crowded. 【42题详解】 根据“As it turns out, living near water, such as oceans, lakes, rivers or ponds, can help us feel both happier and healthier.”可知，居住在水边可以让人感到更快乐和更健康。故填It can help people feel both happier and healthier. 【43题详解】 根据“After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual.”可知，在海洋附近度过一段时间后，人们会感到比平时更放松。故填They will feel more relaxed than usual. 【44题详解】 开放性试题，答案言之有理即可，参考答案为I like living near the water. Because the scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. It’s peaceful and relaxing. I can enjoy activities like fishing or just listening to the sound of the waves. 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 你的家乡要举办一次国际会议，届时，大批的外国友人会来参会。假如你是李辉，请用英文写一封信，申请做志愿者， 内容提示： （1）写信目的； （2）个人优势； （3）表达感激和希望。 要求：（1）语言表达准确；语意通顺连续；（2）书写工整规范；（3）文中不得出现真实姓名、校名和地名；（4）词数80~100。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Dear Sir/Madam, I’m Li Hui I’m writing to apply to be a volunteer for the upcoming international conference in my hometown.

It sounds like a spell (咒语), right? But in fact, it is the name of a book. In English, it means “land, sea and sky”. Two 13-year-old boys, Tyran Uddin and Kayden Wellington, wrote this book. They are Yuin (尤因) people from the south coast (海岸) of New South Wales, Australia. They used the Dhurga language to write it. The book came out on September 4. It is Indigenous Literacy Day (原住民扫盲日) in Australia. This special day helps people know how important reading and writing are for indigenous people. In the book, two Yuin boys go to a mountain to find food after having a dream. They meet animals of the land, sea and sky. These animals teach them about their homeland.

However, it may put them in an unexpected situation. A gym coach surnamed Xiao in Shanghai has found himself in such a case. In April 2023, he got sued (起诉) because a stray cat he fed tripped (绊倒) a man surnamed Wu, which led to a serious injury (重伤). The accident happened when Wu was playing badminton at the gym where Xiao works. In July, the Minhang District People’ s Court (法院) ordered Xiao to pay compensation (赔偿) of 48,000 yuan. At the same time, the gym was also ordered to pay compensation of over 192,000 yuan. Upon hearing the news, many people felt sorry for Xiao. “The feeder is so warm-hearted. He shouldn’t receive such a punishment,” said Cui Luoyao, a 14-year-old from Beijing. However, showing love to stray animals shouldn’t hurt the rights of others, or they should bear the responsibility. Even though Xiao didn’t own the cat, feeding it near. the gym created a dangerous environment in the sports area and led to a man getting hurt. In other words, he hurt others indirectly. 9.

For example, studies show that rooms with lower ceilings can make you more focused, while rooms with higher ceilings can make you more creative. ②Connecting nature with buildings is good for our bodies and minds. A study by Heidelberg University in Germany found that people who grew up in the countryside were less likely to have mental illnesses than those raised in cities.Vancouver, Canada, is a city surrounded by mountains and seas. The city plans its buildings carefully so that tall ones don’t block people’s views of the ocean and mountains. ③Architecture that lacks soul can also affect our moods. For examnple, in a study that took place in Lower Manhattan, New York City, people’s moods worsened as they walked past the dull (无趣的) glass front of a supermarket. They even started walking faster, as if they wanted to get away quickly. However, when they reached lively restaurants and shops, their moods improved a lot. ④To make architecture more interesting, designers should avoid too many flat and straight designs. These kinds of designs don’t allow light and shadow to create interesting patterns. They also don’t fit well with nature, making buildings seem boring.To add life to architecture, designers should pick colours carefully to create different moods, according to Forbes. Bright colours like yellow and orange can make people feel energetic and happy, while calm colours like blue and green can help people feel relaxed. ⑤So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that make you happy and, ideally, let you see nature too. 13.

What if you could live next to a calm lake or river instead? As it turns out living near water, such as oceans, lakes, rivers or ponds, can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometre from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental health problems than those who live 50 km or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. People who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better physical and mental health as well. So how does “blue space” make us feel better? For one thing, aquatic (与水相关的) environments tend to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of which are related to better physical and mental health. People who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not. There is also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is because sea air is charged (带电的) with negative ions (负离子). These ions balance our levels of serotonin (血清素), a body chemical that has an effect on our mood. With balanced serotonin levels, we feel more calm and relaxed. Finally, people who live near water tend to be more physically active. Water sports like swimming and rowing can help us stay in shape, which in turn keeps us healthy. 41. Why are cities not suitable for people to live in? ______________________________ 42.
