第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Stretching 34 miles down the west coast of central Italy, the Amalfi Coast is dotted with 500-foot-tall cliffs (悬崖) and 100 beaches, as well as 13 adorable multicoloured seaside towns.
How to Save Money in this UNESCO World Heritage Site
* Avoid a summer visit. Summer is peak season for the Amalfi Coast, and rates are high during this time. Domestic and international travelers flood to the Amalfi Coast during July and August, resulting in traffic delays, packed beaches and seriously crowded streets. Visit it in spring and fall, when crowds are largely gone and temperatures are the most comfortable.
* Take the bus. Though the best way to get around the Amalfi Coast is by car, the cost of rentals, taxis and private cars adds up fast. The Sita bus services the whole of the Amalfi Coast and offers rates as low as 2.20 euros.
* Ride the ferry (渡船). Boat tours in the Amalfi Coast are a luxury for most people, but if you take the ferry, which is at most 20 euros for a one-way journey, you could save a lot.
What You Need to Know
* Beaches are different here. Due to the geography of the coast, beaches are composed of pebbles (卵石) instead of sand. Make sure to bring the proper footwear.
* Prepare to hike. The seaside towns are built into cliffs and main streets unable to accommodate cars. So, the best way to get around them is on foot.
21. For what reason should tourists avoid visiting the Amalfi coast in summer?
A. High rates. B. Hot weather. C. Empty streets. D. Poor service.
22. What makes Amalfi beaches unique?
A. Their location. B. Their quantity. C. Their history. D. Their composition.
23. What is the best way to get around the seaside towns?
A. Boating. B. Driving. C. Walking. D. Cycling.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲的是关于意大利Amalfi Coast的旅游指南。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“Summer is peak season for the Amalfi Coast, and rates are high during this time.(夏季是Amalfi Coast的旺季,在此期间费率很高)”可知,游客应该避免在夏季前往Amalfi Coast,因为夏季是旅游旺季,费用高。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Beaches are different here. Due to the geography of the coast, beaches are composed of pebbles (卵石) instead of sand. Make sure to bring the proper footwear.(这里的海滩不一样。由于海岸的地理位置,海滩是由鹅卵石而不是沙子组成的。一定要带合适的鞋子)”可知,Amalfi海滩的不同之处在于它们由鹅卵石而非沙子组成。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“So, the best way to get around them is on foot.(在这些地方四处走动的最好的方式是步行)”可知,游历Amalfi的城镇的最佳方式是步行,故选C。
B
Emma, a young librarian with a heartwarming smile and a steady commitment to her work, harboured a deep-seated fear: public speaking. When she was invited to deliver the opening speech at the annual Serenity Book Festival — an event too significant to decline — her anxiety rose.
Oliver, a bright and considerate boy who frequented the library, quickly sensed Emma’s depression. Having always admired her warmth and devotion, Oliver approached her with a gentle smile. “Why don’t we overcome our fear like heroes in them?” he suggested kindly, pointing to the books on the shelf. Moved by the boy’s courage, Emma agreed softly, “Alright, let’s give it a try!” With each practice, Emma gradually gained the confidence to boldly face her fear.
As the festival approached, Emma practiced before small groups, then larger ones, steadily improving. But a week prior, she received an unexpected letter from her old teacher, Mr. Langston, who expressed his intention to attend and eagerly anticipated her speech, adding to her pressure. Noticing her concern, Oliver reminded her how much she had improved. They did a final practice in front of the library staff, whose encouragement boosted her confidence significantly, calming her nerves for the big day.
The day of the festival arrived. Stepping onto the stage, Emma felt her heart beating wildly. She took a deep breath and began to speak. Oliver, sitting in the front row, watched with pride. His smile widened as he heard confidence in her voice. The audience listened attentively. When Emma concluded with a request for everyone to learn from books, there was a moment of silence — then the crowd erupted into applause. Tears of joy filled her eyes, not just from relief, but from the overwhelming support and recognition from both Oliver and the audience.
Emma took a final how as the applause died down feeling a warmth in her heart. She knew she could face whatever came next.
24. What was the problem with Emma?
A. It troubled her to host an event.
B. She was afraid to speak in public.
C. She found it difficult to stay calm.
D. It was hard for her to fund the festival.
25. What do we know about Mr. Langston’s letter?
A. It made Emma much more anxious.
B. It encouraged Emma to be confident.
C It taught Emma the techniques of speaking.
D. It invited Emma to the celebration of the festival.
26. Which of the following best describes Emma?
A. Humble and capable. B. Careful and successful.
C. Anxious and ambitious. D. Determined and committed.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Librarian’s Secret: A Tale of Hidden Fears
B. Emma’ s Speech: A Journey from Fear to Applause
C. Oliver’s Advice: A Story of Friendship and Support
D. The Serenity Book Festival: A Celebration of Literature
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了图书管理员Emma害怕公众演讲,但在男孩Oliver的鼓励和帮助下,她克服恐惧,在图书节开幕式演讲中获得了观众的掌声。

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But a week prior, she received an unexpected letter from her old teacher, Mr. Langston, who expressed his intention to attend and eagerly anticipated her speech, adding to her pressure. (但在演讲前一周,她收到了老教师兰斯顿先生的一封意外来信,他表示打算参加并热切期待她的演讲,这增加了她的压力)”可知,兰斯顿先生的信让Emma更加焦虑了。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Emma, a young librarian with a heartwarming smile and a steady commitment to her work, harboured a deep-seated fear: public speaking. (艾玛是一位年轻的图书管理员,她笑容温暖,工作认真负责,但内心深处却藏着一种深深的恐惧:公开演讲)”、第二段中“With each practice, Emma gradually gained the confidence to boldly face her fear. (通过每一次练习,Emma逐渐获得了勇敢面对恐惧的信心)”、第三段中“They did a final practice in front of the library staff, whose encouragement boosted her confidence significantly, calming her nerves for the big day. (他们在图书馆工作人员面前进行了最后一次练习,他们的鼓励大大增强了她的信心,让她在大日子到来时平静下来)”和第四段中“The audience listened attentively. When Emma concluded with a request for everyone to learn from books, there was a moment of silence — then the crowd erupted into applause. (听众聚精会神地听着。当艾玛结束时,她要求每个人都从书本中学习,大家沉默了一会儿,然后人群爆发出掌声)”可知,Emma克服了对公开演讲的恐惧,通过坚持和不断练习,赢得了观众的掌声,这展现了她为实现目标的坚决(determined)和坚定(committed)。故选D项。

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Emma, a young librarian with a heartwarming smile and a steady commitment to her work, harboured a deep seated fear: public speaking. (艾玛是一位年轻的图书管理员,她笑容温暖,工作认真负责,但内心深处却藏着一种深深的恐惧:公开演讲)”可知Emma一开始害怕公众演讲;再根据第四 中段中“The day of the festival arrived. Stepping onto the stage, Emma felt her heart beating wildly. She took a deep breath and began to speak. Oliver, sitting in the front row, watched with pride. His smile widened as he heard confidence in her voice. The audience listened attentively. When Emma concluded with a request for everyone to learn from books, there was a moment of silence — then the crowd erupted into applause. (节日当天到了。艾玛走上舞台,感到心跳得厉害。她深吸了一口气,开始说话。奥利弗坐在前排,骄傲地看着他们。当他听到她的声音充满信心时,他的笑容更灿烂了。听众聚精会神地听着。当艾玛结束时,她要求每个人都从书本中学习,大家沉默了一会儿,然后人群爆发出掌声)”可知,Emma最终克服恐惧在演讲中获得了掌声。所以文章主要讲述了Emma从害怕公众演讲到获得掌声的过程。B选项“Emma’s Speech: A Journey from Fear to Applause(艾玛的演讲:从恐惧到掌声的旅程)”能概括文章的主要内容,最适合做文章标题。故选B项。

Our culture is addicted to collective goal setting and the idea that forming new habits during specific times of the year will lead to successful outcomes. But it turns out there’s no real evidence that it is the case.
In fact, research suggests that only two people in ten stick with their New Year’s resolutions long term. “I am aware of no research showing that starting fresh in January or October or any other month makes you more likely to stick with a new behaviour,” says Wendy Wood, a behavioural psychologist at the University of Southern California.
The reality is that, when it comes to establishing new habits, there really is an ideal time to do it — but it might not be when you think. Wood calls such ideal moments “turning points” — such as an upcoming high school reunion causing you to want to lose a few pounds, or over-drafting (透支) your bank account and realizing it is time to improve your career. He says such moments tend to provide lasting feelings of motivation because they are rooted in something meaningful and more in-depth than just going along with everyone else.
Regardless of what promotes your motivation, Wood says it is critical to take action as soon as you feel the desire because you may only have a short window of opportunity to make decisions about what you want to do before your old habits get in the way. For instance, write out a daily schedule that includes time for your new habit and post it where you’ll see it each morning. You might also join a gym while your motivation is high to lock yourself into a monthly payment that will keep you motivated to use the membership even after your interest in getting in shape begins to cool.
Another strategy for successful habit formation is breaking down bigger goals into smaller, more specific ones. So instead of saying “I’m going to lose 10 pounds a month”, set a goal to limit your daily calorie intake and get to the gym for 30 minutes a day.
28. What is Wood’s attitude toward making New Year’s resolutions?
A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Casual. D. Objective.
29. Which of the following examples can be called a “turning point”?
A. Falling ill from heavy work.
B. Fulfilling a long-held dream.
C. Exercising on a regular basis.
D. Receiving New Year’s wishes.
30. What plays a leading role in reaching one’s goal according to Wood?
A. Motivation. B. Determination. C. Opportunity. D. Action.
31. What is this text mainly about?
A. Strategies for setting a collective goal.
B. Procedures for finding a turning point.
C. Approaches to developing a new habit.
D. Methods of making a New Year’s wish.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了培养新习惯的理想时机及有效方法。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的““I am aware of no research showing that starting fresh in January or October or any other month makes you more likely to stick with a new behaviour,” says Wendy Wood, a behavioural psychologist at the University of Southern California.(南加州大学的行为心理学家温迪・伍德说:“我没有发现任何研究表明,在1月、10月或其他任何月份重新开始,会让你更有可能坚持一种新行为。”)”可推知,Wood对制定新年计划持怀疑态度。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Wood calls such ideal moments “turning points” — such as an upcoming high school reunion causing you to want to lose a few pounds, or over-drafting (透支) your bank account and realizing it is time to improve your career.(伍德称这些理想时刻为“转折点”——比如即将到来的高中同学聚会让你想减掉几磅体重,或者透支了你的银行账户,然后意识到是时候改善你的职业了)”可推知,“因繁重的工作而生病”这种情况可能会促使人们改变生活方式等,可被称为 “转折点”。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Regardless of what promotes your motivation, Wood says it is critical to take action as soon as you feel the desire because you may only have a short window of opportunity to make decisions about what you want to do before your old habits get in the way.(不管是什么激发了你的动力,伍德说,一旦你有了这种欲望,立即采取行动是至关重要的,因为在你的旧习惯阻碍你之前,你可能只有很短的机会来决定你想做什么)”可知,根据Wood的说法,在实现目标的过程中,采取行动起着主导作用。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Our culture is addicted to collective goal setting and the idea that forming new habits during specific times of the year will lead to successful outcomes.(我们的文化沉迷于设定集体目标,并认为在一年中的特定时期养成新习惯将会带来成功的结果)”以及最后一段中“Another strategy for successful habit formation is breaking down bigger goals into smaller, more specific ones. (成功养成习惯的另一个策略是将更大的目标分解成更小、更具体的目标)”可知,本文主要讲述了如何成功养成新习惯的方法和策略。故选C。
D
There’s a small fatty thymus (胸腺), an organ located in our upper chest, just behind the breastbone. This organ is often said to be a ‘waste’ in adulthood. However, a review study suggests the thymus is not nearly as useless as experts once thought.
In childhood, the thymus is known to play a critical role in developing the immune (免疫的) system. When the thymus is removed at a young age, patients show long-term reductions in T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that fights against germs (细菌) and disease. Kids without a thymus also tend to have a damaged immune response to vaccines.
By the time a person hits adolescence, the thymus shrivels up and produces far fewer T cells for the body. It can seemingly be removed without immediate harm, and because it sits in front of the heart, it is often taken out during heart surgery. For some patients with thymus cancer or autoimmune diseases, they need surgery to remove the thymus. But the thymus isn’t always a problem.
Using patient data from a state healthcare system, researchers in Boston compared the outcomes of patients who had undergone heart surgery: more than 6,000 people (the control group) who did not have their thymus removed and 1,146 people who did have their thymus removed. Those who underwent a thymus removal were almost twice as likely as controls to die within 5 years, even after accounting for sex, age and race. Patients who had their thymus removed were also twice as likely to develop cancer within 5 years of surgery.
Why these associations exist is unknown, but researchers suspect a lack of thymus is somehow messing with the healthy function of the adult immune system. “Together, these findings support a role for the thymus contributing to new T-cell production in adulthood and to adult health,” the authors conclude. Their results, they say, strongly suggest that the thymus plays a functionally important role in our continued health.
32. Why is the thymus important in childhood?
A. It generates blood. B. It produces T cells.
C. It damages vaccines. D. It repairs immune functions.
33. What does the underlined phrase “shrivels up” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Separates. B. Survives. C. Weakens. D. Disappears.
34. What’s the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To analyse data. B. To reach a conclusion.
C. To provide evidence. D. To illustrate the purpose.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Studies on the thymus still need improving.
B. Preserving the thymus benefits adult health.
C. Heart patients should have the thymus maintained.
D. Removing the thymus stimulates the immune system.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了胸腺在童年时对免疫系统发育很重要,青春期会萎缩,研究表明移除胸腺会影响成年健康,说明其在成年健康中也有重要作用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the thymus is removed at a young age, patients show long term reductions in T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that fights against germs (细菌) and disease. (当胸腺在年轻时被切除时,患者的T细胞会长期减少,T细胞是一种对抗细菌和疾病的白细胞)”可知,胸腺在童年时重要是因为它能产生T细胞。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When the thymus is removed at a young age, patients show long term reductions in T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that fights against germs (细菌) and disease. (当胸腺在年轻时被切除时,患者的T细胞会长期减少,T细胞是一种对抗细菌和疾病的白细胞)”可知,胸腺有助于T细胞的产生。根据划线词所在中“By the time a person hits adolescence, the thymus shrivels up and produces far fewer T cells for the body. (当一个人进入青春期时,胸腺……,为身体产生的T细胞也少得多)”中“produces far fewer T cells”可推知,T细胞的产生少了很多是由于胸腺功能的减弱。故划线短语shrivels up的意思是“变弱”,与C项“Weakens”同义。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Using patient data from a state healthcare system, researchers in Boston compared the outcomes of patients who had undergone heart surgery: more than 6,000 people (the control group) who did not have their thymus removed and 1,146 people who did have their thymus removed. Those who underwent a thymus removal were almost twice as likely as controls to die within 5 years, even after accounting for sex, age and race. Patients who had their thymus removed were also twice as likely to develop cancer within 5 years of surgery. (波士顿的研究人员利用一个州医疗系统的患者数据,比较了接受心脏手术的患者的结果:6000多名(对照组)未切除胸腺的人和1146名切除了胸腺的人。即使考虑了性别、年龄和种族因素,切除胸腺的人在5年内死亡的可能性几乎是对照组的两倍。切除胸腺的患者在手术后5年内患癌症的可能性也是对照组的两倍)”可推知,这一段通过对比两组患者的数据,为“胸腺对成年健康有重要作用”这一观点提供了证据。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中作者的话“Together, these findings support a role for the thymus contributing to new T cell production in adulthood and to adult health (这些发现共同表明,胸腺在成年期对新T细胞的产生和成年健康都有作用)”和“Their results, they say, strongly suggest that the thymus plays a functionally important role in our continued health.(他们说,他们的研究结果有力地表明,胸腺在我们的持续健康中起着重要的功能作用)”可知,作者认为胸腺很重要。由此推知,作者可能会同意保留胸腺有益于成年健康这一观点。故选B项。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Decorated with patterns like the butterfly that symbolize love and liveliness, Miao embroidery (刺绣)is not only China’s Intangible Culture Heritage (ICH) (非物质文化遗产) embroidery style, but also ____56____ (serve) as an artful expression of the Miao people’s cultural beliefs and daily life. In fact, Miao embroidery is even ____57____ (diverse) than many other traditional embroidery styles.
Taking the Leishan Miao embroidery as an example, the cultural symbolism behind it is ____58____ earned its recognition as a national-level ICH item in 2006.A key pattern in the Leishan Miao embroidery is the combination of “butterfly, gourd (葫芦), bird and petal”, which originates from a legendary Miao tale in ____59____ birds rescue a child who has fallen into a gourd. Nowadays, this particular pattern can still ____60____ (see) on children’s clothing, symbolizing blessings of health.

In the “yin and yang fish” pattern, for instance, the two fish ____62____ (represent) male and female in Miao embroidery express wishes for a happy ____63____ (marry). Therefore, this pattern often appears on Miao wedding dress, usually designed by the bride.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一则说明文。文章主要介绍作为我国非物质文化遗产之一的“苗绣”,不仅风格独特,而且还是苗族人民文化信仰和日常生活的艺术表达。
【56题详解】
考查谓语动词时态及主谓一致。句意:苗绣以象征爱情和活泼的蝴蝶等图案装饰,不仅是中国非物质文化遗产(ICH)的刺绣风格,而且是苗族人民文化信仰和日常生活的巧妙表达。句中embroidery为句子主语,对应谓语动词serves应与not only前的is并列,描述主语的现状及特征,故用一般现在时态第三人称单数形式。故填serves。
【57题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:事实上,苗绣比许多其他传统刺绣风格更加多样化。此句应为“more…than…”搭配结构,形容词diverse的比较级形式应在其前面加more。故应填more diverse。
【58题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:以雷山苗绣为例,其背后的文化象征意义是2006年被认定为国家级非物质文化遗产的原因。本句谓语动词is后接表语从句,earned为从句中谓语动词,且从句中缺指物的主语成分,故用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:雷山苗绣的一个关键图案是“蝴蝶、葫芦、鸟、花瓣”的组合,这个图案来源于一个传说中的苗族故事,故事中小鸟救了一个掉进葫芦里的孩子。定语从句修饰的先行词tale,在从句中为抽象地点概念,充当地点状语成分,译为“在故事中”。且此处有介词in前置,所以用关系代词which。故填which。
【60题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:如今,这种特殊的图案仍然可以在儿童的衣服上看到,象征着健康的祝福。根据句子主语pattern与谓语动词see的逻辑关系可知,应为“图案被看到”,且谓语助动词为can,后应接动词原形,故此处应用被动体be seen。故填be seen。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:与一些传统刺绣注重现实主义不同,苗绣的显著特点是将抽象的意象与熟悉的图案相结合。句中 remarkably用来修饰谓语动词is characterized,应用副词形式。故填remarkably。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,在“阴阳鱼”图案中,苗绣中的两条鱼分别代表男性和女性,表达了对婚姻幸福的祝愿。根据句子成分判断,the two fish为句子主语,唯一与之对应的谓语动词为express,故此处应使用represent的非谓语形式作后置定语,且被修饰词fish与represent为主谓逻辑关系,故使用现在分词。故填representing。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:例如,在“阴阳鱼”图案中,苗绣中的两条鱼分别代表男性和女性,表达了对婚姻幸福的祝愿。句中冠词a和形容词happy后应修饰名词成分,所以此处应用marry的名词形式。故填marriage。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:苗族还使用凤凰、龙、太阳等动物图案来传达幸福的含义,或者表达他们对自然的尊重以及对和谐的渴望。根据句子成分判断,此处应为use…to do“用……做……”的结构,动词不定式在句中作目的状语,且与其后or reveal(省略to的不定式)呈并列结构,所以使用不定式形式。故填to convey。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:苗族还使用凤凰、龙、太阳等动物图案来传达幸福的含义,或者表达他们对自然的尊重以及对和谐的渴望。此处介词与前面的名词longing搭配,long表示“渴望”后接名词时常与介词for搭配,构成短语long for...“渴望……”。故填for。

67. 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。
In the busy city of New York, a man named Alex spent nearly 30 years searching for his long-lost childhood best friend, Sam. Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared.
Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive.
One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together.
Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough.
The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years. She was excited to hear from Alex and immediately gave Alex Sam’s number.
注意:

When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone. The heart racing, he had no idea what to expect. What if Sam didn’t remember him? Barely did he breathe until a voice—familiar yet different—answered, “Alex? Is that really you?” Both choked up. Words seemed inadequate to express the years of longing and the joy of reconnection. By the end of the call, there was only one thing left to do: meet in person. They agreed to meet at the old neighbourhood park. As Alex hung up, a smile spread across his face.
When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view. Sam, running his hand through his brown thick curly hair, greeted him with a bright smile and stepped forward, arms wide open. They hugged tightly, laughing heartily as if no time at all had separated them. The two spent the entire day exchanging stories of the past and the present. Alex was touched to learn that Sam, too, had tried to find him over the years. They were picking up the story right where they left off. No matter how much time had changed, true friendship would never end.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Alex在纽约寻找失联30年的童年好友Sam,两人曾共同度过无数美好时光,但Sam搬家后失去联系。多年来,Alex通过各种方式寻找Sam,却始终无果。直到有一天Alex在旧相册中发现一张照片,通过联系夏令营组织者,最终得到了Sam的联系方式。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Stretching 34 miles down the west coast of central Italy, the Amalfi Coast is dotted with 500-foot-tall cliffs (悬崖) and 100 beaches, as well as 13 adorable multicoloured seaside towns.
How to Save Money in this UNESCO World Heritage Site
* Avoid a summer visit. Summer is peak season for the Amalfi Coast, and rates are high during this time. Domestic and international travelers flood to the Amalfi Coast during July and August, resulting in traffic delays, packed beaches and seriously crowded streets. Visit it in spring and fall, when crowds are largely gone and temperatures are the most comfortable.
* Take the bus. Though the best way to get around the Amalfi Coast is by car, the cost of rentals, taxis and private cars adds up fast. The Sita bus services the whole of the Amalfi Coast and offers rates as low as 2.20 euros.
* Ride the ferry (渡船). Boat tours in the Amalfi Coast are a luxury for most people, but if you take the ferry, which is at most 20 euros for a one-way journey, you could save a lot.
What You Need to Know
* Beaches are different here. Due to the geography of the coast, beaches are composed of pebbles (卵石) instead of sand. Make sure to bring the proper footwear.
* Prepare to hike. The seaside towns are built into cliffs and main streets unable to accommodate cars. So, the best way to get around them is on foot.
21. For what reason should tourists avoid visiting the Amalfi coast in summer?
A. High rates. B. Hot weather. C. Empty streets. D. Poor service.
22. What makes Amalfi beaches unique?
A. Their location. B. Their quantity. C. Their history. D. Their composition.
23. What is the best way to get around the seaside towns?
A. Boating. B. Driving. C. Walking. D. Cycling.
B
Emma, a young librarian with a heartwarming smile and a steady commitment to her work, harboured a deep-seated fear: public speaking. When she was invited to deliver the opening speech at the annual Serenity Book Festival — an event too significant to decline — her anxiety rose.
Oliver, a bright and considerate boy who frequented the library, quickly sensed Emma’s depression. Having always admired her warmth and devotion, Oliver approached her with a gentle smile. “Why don’t we overcome our fear like heroes in them?” he suggested kindly, pointing to the books on the shelf. Moved by the boy’s courage, Emma agreed softly, “Alright, let’s give it a try!” With each practice, Emma gradually gained the confidence to boldly face her fear.
As the festival approached, Emma practiced before small groups, then larger ones, steadily improving. But a week prior, she received an unexpected letter from her old teacher, Mr. Langston, who expressed his intention to attend and eagerly anticipated her speech, adding to her pressure. Noticing her concern, Oliver reminded her how much she had improved. They did a final practice in front of the library staff, whose encouragement boosted her confidence significantly, calming her nerves for the big day.
The day of the festival arrived. Stepping onto the stage, Emma felt her heart beating wildly. She took a deep breath and began to speak. Oliver, sitting in the front row, watched with pride. His smile widened as he heard confidence in her voice. The audience listened attentively. When Emma concluded with a request for everyone to learn from books, there was a moment of silence — then the crowd erupted into applause. Tears of joy filled her eyes, not just from relief, but from the overwhelming support and recognition from both Oliver and the audience.
Emma took a final how as the applause died down, feeling a warmth in her heart. She knew she could face whatever came next.
24. What was the problem with Emma?
A. It troubled her to host an event.
B. She was afraid to speak in public.
C. She found it difficult to stay calm.
D. It was hard for her to fund the festival.
25. What do we know about Mr. Langston’s letter?
A. It made Emma much more anxious.
B. It encouraged Emma to be confident.
C. It taught Emma the techniques of speaking.
D. It invited Emma to the celebration of the festival.
26. Which of the following best describes Emma?
A. Humble and capable. B. Careful and successful.
C. Anxious and ambitious. D. Determined and committed.
27 What is the best title for the text?
A. The Librarian’s Secret: A Tale of Hidden Fears
B. Emma’ s Speech: A Journey from Fear to Applause
C. Oliver’s Advice: A Story of Friendship and Support
D. The Serenity Book Festival: A Celebration of Literature
C
Our culture is addicted to collective goal setting and the idea that forming new habits during specific times of the year will lead to successful outcomes. But it turns out there’s no real evidence that it is the case.
In fact, research suggests that only two people in ten stick with their New Year’s resolutions long term. “I am aware of no research showing that starting fresh in January or October or any other month makes you more likely to stick with a new behaviour,” says Wendy Wood, a behavioural psychologist at the University of Southern California.
The reality is that, when it comes to establishing new habits, there really is an ideal time to do it — but it might not be when you think. Wood calls such ideal moments “turning points” — such as an upcoming high school reunion causing you to want to lose a few pounds, or over-drafting (透支) your bank account and realizing it is time to improve your career. He says such moments tend to provide lasting feelings of motivation because they are rooted in something meaningful and more in-depth than just going along with everyone else.
Regardless of what promotes your motivation, Wood says it is critical to take action as soon as you feel the desire because you may only have a short window of opportunity to make decisions about what you want to do before your old habits get in the way. For instance, write out a daily schedule that includes time for your new habit and post it where you’ll see it each morning. You might also join a gym while your motivation is high to lock yourself into a monthly payment that will keep you motivated to use the membership even after your interest in getting in shape begins to cool.
Another strategy for successful habit formation is breaking down bigger goals into smaller, more specific ones. So instead of saying “I’m going to lose 10 pounds a month”, set a goal to limit your daily calorie intake and get to the gym for 30 minutes a day.
28. What is Wood’s attitude toward making New Year’s resolutions?
A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Casual. D. Objective.
29. Which of the following examples can be called a “turning point”?
A. Falling ill from heavy work.
B. Fulfilling a long-held dream.
C. Exercising on a regular basis.
D. Receiving New Year’s wishes.
30 What plays a leading role in reaching one’s goal according to Wood?
A. Motivation. B. Determination. C. Opportunity. D. Action.
31. What is this text mainly about?
A. Strategies for setting a collective goal.
B. Procedures for finding a turning point.
C. Approaches to developing a new habit.
D. Methods of making a New Year’s wish.
D
There’s a small fatty thymus (胸腺), an organ located in our upper chest, just behind the breastbone. This organ is often said to be a ‘waste’ in adulthood. However, a review study suggests the thymus is not nearly as useless as experts once thought.
In childhood, the thymus is known to play a critical role in developing the immune (免疫的) system. When the thymus is removed at a young age, patients show long-term reductions in T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that fights against germs (细菌) and disease. Kids without a thymus also tend to have a damaged immune response to vaccines.
By the time a person hits adolescence, the thymus shrivels up and produces far fewer T cells for the body. It can seemingly be removed without immediate harm, and because it sits in front of the heart, it is often taken out during heart surgery. For some patients with thymus cancer or autoimmune diseases, they need surgery to remove the thymus. But the thymus isn’t always a problem.
Using patient data from a state healthcare system, researchers in Boston compared the outcomes of patients who had undergone heart surgery: more than 6,000 people (the control group) who did not have their thymus removed and 1,146 people who did have their thymus removed. Those who underwent a thymus removal were almost twice as likely as controls to die within 5 years, even after accounting for sex, age and race. Patients who had their thymus removed were also twice as likely to develop cancer within 5 years of surgery.
Why these associations exist is unknown, but researchers suspect a lack of thymus is somehow messing with the healthy function of the adult immune system. “Together, these findings support a role for the thymus contributing to new T-cell production in adulthood and to adult health,” the authors conclude. Their results, they say, strongly suggest that the thymus plays a functionally important role in our continued health.
32. Why is the thymus important in childhood?
A. It generates blood. B. It produces T cells.
C. It damages vaccines. D. It repairs immune functions.
33. What does the underlined phrase “shrivels up” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Separates. B. Survives. C. Weakens. D. Disappears.
34. What’s the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To analyse data. B. To reach a conclusion.
C. To provide evidence. D. To illustrate the purpose.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Studies on the thymus still need improving.
B. Preserving the thymus benefits adult health.
C. Heart patients should have the thymus maintained.
D. Removing the thymus stimulates the immune system.

In the busy city of New York, a man named Alex spent nearly 30 years searching for his long-lost childhood best friend, Sam. Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared.
Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive.
One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together.
Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough.
The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years. She was excited to hear from Alex and immediately gave Alex Sam’s number.
