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
The world’s most celebrated minds didn’t have easy or obvious paths. Let’s take a closer look at famous scientists who set inspiring examples during their lifetimes.
Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall is a famous expert on chimpanzees (黑猩猩). When she was 18, Goodall stopped schooling and worked three jobs — as a secretary, assistant film editor, and a waitress — just to pay for her first trip to Africa. In her early 20s, she arrived in Mombasa and worked for the well-known scientist Louis Leakey. Despite lacking a degree, she spent years observing chimpanzees in the wild before earning her PhD. Goodall’s journey teaches us that hard work and determination can help us achieve our goals.
Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur was one of the most significant scientists of the 19th century. In his youth, he did not stand out academically and was more interested in art. However, he decided to pursue a career in science, applying to the top university, Ecole Normale Superieure. After initially finishing 15th in the entrance exam, he devoted another year to his studies and later ranked 4th. Pasteur’s devotion highlights the importance of willpower in achieving success.
Caroline Herschel
Marie Curie may be the most famous female scientist, but she was far from the first. Caroline Herschel began her career as a singer but eventually became a brilliant astronomer. She was the first woman to discover a comet (彗星) and received many honors, including being the first woman paid for her scientific work. Herschel’s story emphasizes the importance of following one’s passion.
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was a knowledgeable person who was expert at various fields from art to science. His innovative ideas, such as drawings of flying machines and advanced engineering studies, remind us to maintain curiosity and explore diverse interests. Da Vinci’s life encourages us not to limit ourselves and to remain open-minded in our pursuit of knowledge.
1. According to the passage, what did Jane Goodall do before she started her research journey in Africa?
A. She completed a university degree.
B. She worked as an assistant to Louis Leakey.
C. She took on three jobs simultaneously to fund her trip.
D. She received funding from multiple research projects.
2. What can be inferred about Louis Pasteur’s early academic performance?
A. He was the top student in his class.
B. He struggled with science subjects.
C. He showed no particular interest in studies.
D. His initial academic performance was not outstanding.
3. Based on the passage, what do the four scientists have in common?
A. They all made significant contributions to the field of biology.
B. Each of them faced challenges but ultimately achieved success through perseverance.
C. They were all awarded prestigious honors for their scientific discoveries.
D All of them started their careers in a different field before turning to science.
B
Robert was born on August 9, 1910 in the Netherlands. His mother came from a family of musicians and piano manufacturers, a fact that greatly influenced Robert’s life. His father was a physician in army, a position which required frequent foreign postings. The family stayed in various areas of East Asia for most of Robert’s youth. This experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages.
Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were unparalleled. He wrote and published a number of non-fiction, scholarly articles and books on Chinese music, art, and literature, as well as Chinese culture and folk legends.
In 1940, Robert came across a little-known and anonymous (匿名的)18th-century Chinese novel that would take his career down an unplanned pathway and result in the public fame he never anticipated. The novel, titled Four Great Strange Cases of Empress Wu’s Reign, was a fictional account of the deeds of Judge Dee, one of the heroes of traditional Chinese detective fiction, and was set in the 7th-century Tang Dynasty. Fascinated, Robert not only translated the novel into English, he also did some research on the history of Chinese Penal Code and other legal literature of the period. It was not until 1949 that Robert was able to publish his translation —Dee Goong An: Three Murder Cases Solved by Judge Dee. Robert’s Chinese mysteries comprise over 10 novels and short-story volumes, recording the career of Chinese detective called Di Renjie. Interestingly, the tales first found fame in oriental (东方的)editions, before being translated into English in 1957.
Through all the novels by Robert, he impressively brings to life the sights and sounds of daily Chinese life in the past. His passionate devotion and respect for the Chinese culture was never discounted, yet he also appreciated the purpose of fiction.
4. What inspired Robert’s love for oriental culture?
A. His language competence.
B. His previous stay in East Asia.
C. His mother’s good family background.
D. His father’s professional medical knowledge.
5. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Robert’s passion for China. B. Robert’s music proficiency.
C. Robert’s early achievements. D. Robert’s learning experiences.
6. What contributed to Robert’s fame?
A. He introduced western civilization to China.
B. He polished an existing Chinese fiction style.
C. He spread Chinese literature to a wider audience.
D. He conducted research on famous Chinese detectives.
7. Which of the following can best describe Robert’s translations?
A. Vivid and faithful. B. Dramatic and realistic.
C. Accurate and humorous. D. Imaginary and accessible.
C
People often vaguely refer to “the middle of nowhere”, but as it turns out, scientists have actually figured out precisely where that point is. Point Nemo, the most remote location on Earth, is so far removed from civilization that the closest humans to that location at any given time are likely to be astronauts. Point Nemo is officially known as “the oceanic pole of inaccessibility”, or the point in the ocean farthest from land. Located at 48°52.6’S 123°23.6’W, the spot is quite literally the middle of nowhere, surrounded by more than 1,000 miles of ocean in every direction. There are no human inhabitants anywhere near Point Nemo. And scientists chose to call the location “Nemo” because it is Latin for “no one” and as a reference to Jules Verne’s submarine captain from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
The location is so isolated that the closest people to Point Nemo are not even on Earth. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are around 258 miles from the Earth’s surface at any given time. Since the inhabited area closest to Point Nemo is more than 1,000 miles away, the humans in space are far closer to the pole of inaccessibility than those on land.
Not even the man who first calculated the precise location of Point Nemo has ever visited it. In 1992, Croatian survey engineer Hrvoje Lukatela set out to find the exact point in the Pacific that was farthest away from any land using a computer program. It is very possible that no human has ever passed through Point Nemo’s exact coordinates. As for non-human inhabitants, there aren’t very many of those around Point Nemo either. Point Nemo’s coordinates fall within the South Pacific Gyre, an enormous rotating current that prevents nutrient-rich water from flowing into the area. Without any food sources, sustaining most life in this part of the ocean is impossible.
Point Nemo does, however, have at least one other eerie claim to its name. Due to its remoteness and distance from shipping routes, the area around Point Nemo was chosen as a “spaceship graveyard”. According to CNN, NASA first started using the region in 1971. Since then, more than 263 pieces of space junk have crashed into the area, including some of the world’s greatest spacecraft, the Russian Mir space station and NASA’s first space station, Skylab.
8. Why is Point Nemo referred to as the “oceanic pole of inaccessibility”?
A. It is the farthest point from any land.
B. It is the deepest point in the ocean.
C. It is located at the center of the Pacific Ocean.
D. It is a place that only astronomers have ever visited.
9. What can be learned about the isolation of Point Nemo?
A. It is frequently visited by marine biologists.
B. It is within reach of commercial shipping routes.
C. The nearest humans to Point Nemo are often astronauts.
D. There are several small islands nearby.
10. Which of the following is True about the environmental conditions around Point Nemo?
A. The area is rich in marine biodiversity due to its isolation.
B. The strong currents of the South Pacific Gyre support a thriving ecosystem.
C. The region is frequently visited by marine researchers for its unique ecosystem.
D. The lack of nutrients makes it difficult for most marine life to survive in the area.
11. What is the crucial aspect when choosing an area as a “spaceship graveyard”?
A. Proximity to major coastal cities.
B. Depth of the ocean at the chosen location.
C. Distance from any landmass and human activity.
D. Presence of strong ocean currents that could disperse debris.
D
Lately, it is getting harder and harder to find clothes that aren’t laced with plastic. Like sugar in food, plastic comes in many forms with many different names. When you check a garment’s fabric composition, it’s not uncommon to be confronted by a list of scientific words. For example: polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene, which are all types of plastic. However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your wardrobe contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood.
Despite our awareness of the perils of plastic, fashion’s dependence on it persists. A recent report says between 1980 and 2014, production of polyester increased by nearly 900%. Two common plastics, polyester and nylon, account for 69% of all the materials used in clothing globally and that number is expected to increase to 75% by 2030.
So why do we continue to use plastics? The main reason is, of course, cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly less compared to natural fibers, creating a huge incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones. Moreover, making synthetic materials isn’t dependent on seasons or farms affected by rainfall or heatwaves, as is the case with cotton and wool.
You’ve likely seen a lot of brands promoting themselves as sustainable by using plastic bottles to make their clothes. But the problem is, our plastic-based textile economy has led to unsustainable overproduction of clothing that is unhealthy for our communities and our ecosystems. And plastic clothing is still going to impact our health and have a lasting effect on the environment. Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Plus, clothing made from plastic bottles can actually disrupt and shorten its life cycle. When a bottle is transformed into clothing, it often accelerates that bottle’s journey to the landfill because we purchase and discard our clothing at such a rapid pace.
While the hidden story of plastic in our clothes doesn’t have the happiest of endings — yet! — we can each take measures. Reduce our overall consumption of clothing and textile products and extend the life of our favorite garment. Learning to mend can be a game-changer. When we do make textile purchases buy and wear natural fiber products, especially those originating from land-based production systems that are working to restore and build ecosystem and soil health.
12. What does the author imply about the presence of plastic in clothing?
A. It is easily noticeable.
B. It is beneficial for the environment.
C. It is often hidden and not widely recognized.
D. It is only present in certain types of garments.
13. What is the primary reason for the fashion industry’s continued reliance on plastic?
A. The durability of plastic materials.
B. The ease of recycling plastic textiles.
C. The environmental benefits of using plastic.
D. Synthetic fibers are more economical than their natural counterparts.
14. Which of the following best describes the environmental impact of plastic-based textiles?
A. They contribute positively to soil health.
B. They reduce the amount of waste in landfills.
C. They lead to microplastic pollution throughout the environment.
D. They encourage sustainable farming practices.
15. What measure does the author recommend to address the issue of plastic in clothing?
A. Increasing the production of synthetic fibers.
B. Promoting the use of more plastic-based textiles.
C. Encouraging the fast-paced purchasing and discarding of clothes.
D. Lowering our demand for new clothes and maximizing the longevity of existing items.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How frequently do you find yourself worrying about things beyond your control? ____16____. Why? There’s no substantial reason for it. It only serves to generate unnecessary stress, both physically and mentally, and stops you from enjoying the present moment. Perhaps it’s time to learn how to reduce your worrying a bit. Here are several strategies to help you manage your worries more effectively.
Accept uncertainty and learn to thrive in it
____17____. You can never be entirely sure what the future holds. Embrace this uncertainty and find ways to flourish within it. Unexpectedly, it might open doors to thrilling opportunities you hadn’t considered before. Pour your passion into what matters to you and strive diligently toward your aspirations. That’s the best approach you can take. ____18____.
Distract yourself with another activity
Really can’t seem to get it out of your head? ____19____. This approach is most effective when you choose an activity that fully captures your attention, like pursuing a hobby or delving into a remarkable book. For instance, I find myself completely immersed when I’m with my horses — whether it’s just grooming them or simply spending time in their company, it helps me forget about everything else.
____20____
If you find that the above strategies aren’t helping you manage your worries, try setting aside a specific time each day to focus on them. During this period, write down all your concerns in your worry journal and commit to stopping once the time is up. This allows you to externalize your worries, getting them out of your head and onto paper, which can be incredibly effective for clearing your mind.
A. The charm of life lies in its unpredictability
B. Reach out to a friend to discuss your concerns
C. What happens next is in the hands of the world
D. Chances are, it occurs several times daily, or even more
E. Set aside a specific time for worrying and keep a worry journal
F. Dive into an activity that’s totally different and demands your concentration
G. Talking about your worry will help you know about whether your worry is realistic

57. 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。
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very obvious scar (伤疤) on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not notice it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
It never occurred to me that something like this would happen to my son years later. Sending a child off to college can certainly be stressful for concerned parents. It was in 2018 that my son went off to college. He rarely contacted us. I couldn’t help asking about other aspects, which sometimes made him complain that I didn’t treat him as an adult.
To be honest, my son is excellent. Some of my friends always tell me that they admire my son’s characters and they hope their sons could have some of them.
Unexpectedly, it was 4 o’clock in the morning in 2020, when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just brought in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for an aircraft and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was serious.
The doctor described the reason, which caused the burns. At 6 am, my son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they lit the charcoal, it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline. The flames caught my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
Fortunately, one of the boys who was quick-minded grasped my son and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in shape to save him from severe burns and terrible scars.
After he recovered from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery for 6 months because it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So I told him about Nancy’s childhood.

A
The world’s most celebrated minds didn’t have easy or obvious paths. Let’s take a closer look at famous scientists who set inspiring examples during their lifetimes.
Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall is a famous expert on chimpanzees (黑猩猩). When she was 18, Goodall stopped schooling and worked three jobs — as a secretary, assistant film editor, and a waitress — just to pay for her first trip to Africa. In her early 20s, she arrived in Mombasa and worked for the well-known scientist Louis Leakey. Despite lacking a degree, she spent years observing chimpanzees in the wild before earning her PhD. Goodall’s journey teaches us that hard work and determination can help us achieve our goals.
Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur was one of the most significant scientists of the 19th century. In his youth, he did not stand out academically and was more interested in art. However, he decided to pursue a career in science, applying to the top university, Ecole Normale Superieure. After initially finishing 15th in the entrance exam, he devoted another year to his studies and later ranked 4th. Pasteur’s devotion highlights the importance of willpower in achieving success.
Caroline Herschel
Marie Curie may be the most famous female scientist, but she was far from the first. Caroline Herschel began her career as a singer but eventually became a brilliant astronomer. She was the first woman to discover a comet (彗星) and received many honors, including being the first woman paid for her scientific work. Herschel’s story emphasizes the importance of following one’s passion.
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was a knowledgeable person who was expert at various fields from art to science. His innovative ideas, such as drawings of flying machines and advanced engineering studies, remind us to maintain curiosity and explore diverse interests. Da Vinci’s life encourages us not to limit ourselves and to remain open-minded in our pursuit of knowledge.
1. According to the passage, what did Jane Goodall do before she started her research journey in Africa?
A. She completed a university degree.
B. She worked as an assistant to Louis Leakey.
C. She took on three jobs simultaneously to fund her trip.
D. She received funding from multiple research projects.
2. What can be inferred about Louis Pasteur’s early academic performance?
A. He was the top student in his class.
B. He struggled with science subjects.
C. He showed no particular interest in studies.
D. His initial academic performance was not outstanding.
3. Based on the passage, what do the four scientists have in common?
A. They all made significant contributions to the field of biology.
B. Each of them faced challenges but ultimately achieved success through perseverance.
C. They were all awarded prestigious honors for their scientific discoveries.
D. All of them started their careers in a different field before turning to science.

Robert was born on August 9, 1910 in the Netherlands. His mother came from a family of musicians and piano manufacturers, a fact that greatly influenced Robert’s life. His father was a physician in army, a position which required frequent foreign postings. The family stayed in various areas of East Asia for most of Robert’s youth. This experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages.
Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were unparalleled. He wrote and published a number of non-fiction, scholarly articles and books on Chinese music, art, and literature, as well as Chinese culture and folk legends.
In 1940, Robert came across a little-known and anonymous (匿名的)18th-century Chinese novel that would take his career down an unplanned pathway and result in the public fame he never anticipated. The novel, titled Four Great Strange Cases of Empress Wu’s Reign, was a fictional account of the deeds of Judge Dee, one of the heroes of traditional Chinese detective fiction, and was set in the 7th-century Tang Dynasty. Fascinated, Robert not only translated the novel into English, he also did some research on the history of Chinese Penal Code and other legal literature of the period. It was not until 1949 that Robert was able to publish his translation —Dee Goong An: Three Murder Cases Solved by Judge Dee. Robert’s Chinese mysteries comprise over 10 novels and short-story volumes, recording the career of Chinese detective called Di Renjie. Interestingly, the tales first found fame in oriental (东方的)editions, before being translated into English in 1957.
Through all the novels by Robert, he impressively brings to life the sights and sounds of daily Chinese life in the past. His passionate devotion and respect for the Chinese culture was never discounted, yet he also appreciated the purpose of fiction.
4. What inspired Robert’s love for oriental culture?
A. His language competence.
B. His previous stay in East Asia.
C. His mother’s good family background.
D. His father’s professional medical knowledge.
5. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Robert’s passion for China. B. Robert’s music proficiency.
C. Robert’s early achievements. D. Robert’s learning experiences.
6. What contributed to Robert’s fame?
A. He introduced western civilization to China.
B. He polished an existing Chinese fiction style.
C. He spread Chinese literature to a wider audience.
D. He conducted research on famous Chinese detectives.
7. Which of the following can best describe Robert’s translations?
A Vivid and faithful. B. Dramatic and realistic.
C. Accurate and humorous. D. Imaginary and accessible.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了出生在荷兰的Robert van Gulik成长背景及其所取得的成就。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The family stayed in various areas of East Asia for most of Robert’s youth. This experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages.(罗伯特的童年大部分时间都在东亚各地度过。这段经历让他对各种文化有了更深的了解,并掌握了多种语言。)”可知,Robert小时候一家人生活在东亚,这激发了罗伯特对东方文化的热爱。故选B项。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were unparalleled. He wrote and published a number of non-fiction, scholarly articles and books on Chinese music, art, and literature, as well as Chinese culture and folk legends. (罗伯特是一位勤奋的学者、艺术品和手稿收藏家以及古文翻译家。他学习和训练成为中国古琴大师,并最终写了两本关于古琴的书。同样,他作为一名艺术家在中国传统风格方面的技巧和书法知识也是无与伦比的。他撰写并出版了许多关于中国音乐、艺术和文学以及中国文化和民间传说的非小说、学术文章和书籍。)”可知,Robert是一个学着,艺术和手稿收藏家,翻译古代作品,他是中国古琴大师,写过两本乐器的书籍,他的中国传统风格的艺术几千和书法知识非凡,还撰写很多中国音乐、艺术、文学以及中国文化和传统的纪实、学术文章和书籍,由此可知,本段主要讲述的是Robert的所取得的成就。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In 1940, Robert came across a little-known and anonymous(匿名的)18th-century Chinese novel that would take his career down an unplanned pathway and result in the public fame he never anticipated. The novel, titled Four Great Strange Cases of Empress Wu’s Reign, was a fictional account of the deeds of Judge Dee, one of the heroes of traditional Chinese detective fiction, and was set in the 7th-century Tang Dynasty.

Robert’s Chinese mysteries comprise over 10 novels and short-story volumes, recording the career of Chinese detective called Di Renjie. Interestingly, the tales first found fame in oriental(东方的)editions, before being translated into English in 1957. (1940 年,罗伯特偶然发现了一本鲜为人知的匿名 18 世纪中国小说,这本小说将他的职业生涯推向了一条意想不到的道路,并让他获得了从未预料到的公众名声。这本名为《武则天统治时期的四大奇案》的小说虚构了中国传统侦探小说英雄之一狄仁杰的事迹,故事背景设定在 7 世纪的唐朝。罗伯特对这本小说十分着迷,他不仅将这本小说翻译成英文,还对中国刑法史和当时其他法律文献做了一些研究。直到 1949 年,罗伯特才得以出版他的译作《狄公案:狄仁杰破获的三起谋杀案》。罗伯特的中国悬疑小说包括 10 多部小说和短篇小说集,记录了中国侦探狄仁杰的职业生涯。有趣的是,这些故事首先在东方版本中成名,然后于 1957 年被翻译成英文)”可知,Robert把中国文学传播给了更广泛的受众导致罗伯特名声大噪。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through all the novels by Robert, he impressively brings to life the sights and sounds of daily Chinese life in the past. His passionate devotion and respect for the Chinese culture was never discounted, yet he also appreciated the purpose of fiction. (罗伯特的小说生动再现了中国古代日常生活的景象和声音,令人印象深刻。他对中国文化的热爱和尊重从未被忽视,但他也理解小说的意义。)”,由此可推断,Robert的翻译生动而忠实。故选A项。
C
People often vaguely refer to “the middle of nowhere”, but as it turns out, scientists have actually figured out precisely where that point is. Point Nemo, the most remote location on Earth, is so far removed from civilization that the closest humans to that location at any given time are likely to be astronauts. Point Nemo is officially known as “the oceanic pole of inaccessibility”, or the point in the ocean farthest from land. Located at 48°52.6’S 123°23.6’W, the spot is quite literally the middle of nowhere, surrounded by more than 1,000 miles of ocean in every direction. There are no human inhabitants anywhere near Point Nemo. And scientists chose to call the location “Nemo” because it is Latin for “no one” and as a reference to Jules Verne’s submarine captain from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
The location is so isolated that the closest people to Point Nemo are not even on Earth. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are around 258 miles from the Earth’s surface at any given time. Since the inhabited area closest to Point Nemo is more than 1,000 miles away, the humans in space are far closer to the pole of inaccessibility than those on land.
Not even the man who first calculated the precise location of Point Nemo has ever visited it. In 1992, Croatian survey engineer Hrvoje Lukatela set out to find the exact point in the Pacific that was farthest away from any land using a computer program. It is very possible that no human has ever passed through Point Nemo’s exact coordinates. As for non-human inhabitants, there aren’t very many of those around Point Nemo either. Point Nemo’s coordinates fall within the South Pacific Gyre, an enormous rotating current that prevents nutrient-rich water from flowing into the area. Without any food sources, sustaining most life in this part of the ocean is impossible.
Point Nemo does, however, have at least one other eerie claim to its name. Due to its remoteness and distance from shipping routes, the area around Point Nemo was chosen as a “spaceship graveyard”. According to CNN, NASA first started using the region in 1971. Since then, more than 263 pieces of space junk have crashed into the area, including some of the world’s greatest spacecraft, the Russian Mir space station and NASA’s first space station, Skylab.
8. Why is Point Nemo referred to as the “oceanic pole of inaccessibility”?
A. It is the farthest point from any land.
B. It is the deepest point in the ocean.
C. It is located at the center of the Pacific Ocean.
D. It is a place that only astronomers have ever visited.
9. What can be learned about the isolation of Point Nemo?
A. It is frequently visited by marine biologists.
B. It is within reach of commercial shipping routes.
C. The nearest humans to Point Nemo are often astronauts.
D. There are several small islands nearby.
10. Which of the following is True about the environmental conditions around Point Nemo?
A. The area is rich in marine biodiversity due to its isolation.
B. The strong currents of the South Pacific Gyre support a thriving ecosystem.
C. The region is frequently visited by marine researchers for its unique ecosystem.
D. The lack of nutrients makes it difficult for most marine life to survive in the area.
11. What is the crucial aspect when choosing an area as a “spaceship graveyard”?
A. Proximity to major coastal cities.
B. Depth of the ocean at the chosen location.
C. Distance from any landmass and human activity.
D. Presence of strong ocean currents that could disperse debris.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了地球上最偏远的地点尼莫点,它远离陆地、人类罕至、生物稀少,还被选为“航天器墓地”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Point Nemo is officially known as ‘the oceanic pole of inaccessibility’, or the point in the ocean farthest from land.(尼莫点被正式称为‘海洋难抵极’,即海洋中离陆地最远的点)”可知,尼莫点被称为“海洋难抵极”是因为它是离任何陆地最远的点。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The location is so isolated that the closest people to Point Nemo are not even on Earth. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are around 258 miles from the Earth’s surface at any given time. Since the inhabited area closest to Point Nemo is more than 1,000 miles away, the humans in space are far closer to the pole of inaccessibility than those on land.(这个地方非常偏僻,离尼莫点最近的人甚至不在地球上。国际空间站上的宇航员在任何时候都离地球表面约258英里。由于离尼莫点最近的有人居住区域超过1000英里远,太空中的人比陆地上的人离这个难抵极要近得多)”可知,离尼莫点最近的人类通常是宇航员。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Point Nemo’s coordinates fall within the South Pacific Gyre, an enormous rotating current that prevents nutrient rich water from flowing into the area. Without any food sources, sustaining most life in this part of the ocean is impossible.(尼莫点的坐标位于南太平洋环流内,这是一股巨大的旋转洋流,阻止了富含营养的水流进入该区域。没有任何食物来源,这片海洋区域很难维持大多数生物的生存)”可知,尼莫点没有任何食物来源,这片海洋区域很难维持大多数生物的生存。所以D项“The lack of nutrients makes it difficult for most marine life to survive in the area.(缺乏营养物质使得大多数海洋生物难以在该地区生存)”是正确表述。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Due to its remoteness and distance from shipping routes, the area around Point Nemo was chosen as a ‘spaceship graveyard’.(由于其偏远且远离航线,尼莫点周围的区域被选为‘航天器墓地’)”可知,尼莫点被选为‘航天器墓地’是因为它偏远且远离航线。由此推知,选择一个区域作为“航天器墓地”的关键因素是离任何陆地和人类活动的距离。故选C项。
D
Lately, it is getting harder and harder to find clothes that aren’t laced with plastic. Like sugar in food, plastic comes in many forms with many different names. When you check a garment’s fabric composition, it’s not uncommon to be confronted by a list of scientific words. For example: polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene, which are all types of plastic. However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your wardrobe contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood.
Despite our awareness of the perils of plastic, fashion’s dependence on it persists. A recent report says between 1980 and 2014, production of polyester increased by nearly 900%. Two common plastics, polyester and nylon, account for 69% of all the materials used in clothing globally and that number is expected to increase to 75% by 2030.
So why do we continue to use plastics? The main reason is, of course, cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly less compared to natural fibers, creating a huge incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones. Moreover, making synthetic materials isn’t dependent on seasons or farms affected by rainfall or heatwaves, as is the case with cotton and wool.
You’ve likely seen a lot of brands promoting themselves as sustainable by using plastic bottles to make their clothes. But the problem is, our plastic-based textile economy has led to unsustainable overproduction of clothing that is unhealthy for our communities and our ecosystems. And plastic clothing is still going to impact our health and have a lasting effect on the environment. Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Plus, clothing made from plastic bottles can actually disrupt and shorten its life cycle. When a bottle is transformed into clothing, it often accelerates that bottle’s journey to the landfill because we purchase and discard our clothing at such a rapid pace.
While the hidden story of plastic in our clothes doesn’t have the happiest of endings — yet! — we can each take measures. Reduce our overall consumption of clothing and textile products and extend the life of our favorite garment. Learning to mend can be a game-changer. When we do make textile purchases, buy and wear natural fiber products, especially those originating from land-based production systems that are working to restore and build ecosystem and soil health.
12. What does the author imply about the presence of plastic in clothing?
A. It is easily noticeable.
B. It is beneficial for the environment.
C. It is often hidden and not widely recognized.
D. It is only present in certain types of garments.
13. What is the primary reason for the fashion industry’s continued reliance on plastic?
A The durability of plastic materials.
B. The ease of recycling plastic textiles.
C. The environmental benefits of using plastic.
D. Synthetic fibers are more economical than their natural counterparts.
14. Which of the following best describes the environmental impact of plastic-based textiles?
A. They contribute positively to soil health.
B. They reduce the amount of waste in landfills.
C. They lead to microplastic pollution throughout the environment.
D. They encourage sustainable farming practices.
15. What measure does the author recommend to address the issue of plastic in clothing?
A. Increasing the production of synthetic fibers.
B. Promoting the use of more plastic-based textiles.
C. Encouraging the fast-paced purchasing and discarding of clothes.
D. Lowering our demand for new clothes and maximizing the longevity of existing items.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了衣物中普遍存在塑料的情况,分析了时尚产业依赖塑料的原因及塑料衣物对环境的影响,并给出应对措施建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your wardrobe contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood.(然而,除非你密切关注,否则很少有人意识到你的大部分衣橱里都含有大量的塑料。它通常是看不见的,就像合成材料释放的微塑料;虽然你可能永远看不到它们,但在海洋底部和人类血液中都发现了它们)”可知,衣物中的塑料是看不到的,很少有人意识到大部分衣橱里都含有大量的塑料;由此推知,作者暗示塑料的存在是隐藏的,没有被广泛认识到。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“So why do we continue to use plastics? The main reason is, of course, cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly less compared to natural fibers, creating a huge incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones.(那么,我们为什么还要继续使用塑料呢?当然,主要原因是成本。与天然纤维相比,合成纤维的市场价格要低得多,这极大地激励了时尚品牌想办法用合成纤维取代传统使用的天然纤维)”可知,时尚产业持续依赖塑料的主要原因是合成纤维比天然纤维更经济实惠。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.(由塑料纤维制成的纺织品在其生命周期的每个阶段都会释放微塑料纤维:当它们被穿着、洗涤和处理时。这些微塑料进入我们呼吸的空气、饮用的水和食用的食物中)”可知,塑料基纺织品中的微塑料会进入我们呼吸的空气、饮用的水和食用的食物中,所以会在整个环境中造成微塑料污染。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While the hidden story of plastic in our clothes doesn’t have the happiest of endings — yet! — we can each take measures. Reduce our overall consumption of clothing and textile products and extend the life of our favorite garment.(虽然我们衣服里隐藏的塑料故事并没有一个最幸福的结局——然而!——我们可以各自采取措施。减少我们对服装和纺织品的总体消费,并延长我们喜爱的服装的使用寿命)”可知,作者建议降低对新衣服的需求,并最大限度地延长现有衣物的使用寿命来解决衣物中塑料的问题。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How frequently do you find yourself worrying about things beyond your control? ____16____. Why? There’s no substantial reason for it. It only serves to generate unnecessary stress, both physically and mentally, and stops you from enjoying the present moment. Perhaps it’s time to learn how to reduce your worrying a bit. Here are several strategies to help you manage your worries more effectively.
Accept uncertainty and learn to thrive in it
____17____. You can never be entirely sure what the future holds. Embrace this uncertainty and find ways to flourish within it. Unexpectedly, it might open doors to thrilling opportunities you hadn’t considered before. Pour your passion into what matters to you and strive diligently toward your aspirations. That’s the best approach you can take. ____18____.
Distract yourself with another activity
Really can’t seem to get it out of your head? ____19____. This approach is most effective when you choose an activity that fully captures your attention, like pursuing a hobby or delving into a remarkable book. For instance, I find myself completely immersed when I’m with my horses — whether it’s just grooming them or simply spending time in their company, it helps me forget about everything else.
____20____
If you find that the above strategies aren’t helping you manage your worries, try setting aside a specific time each day to focus on them. During this period, write down all your concerns in your worry journal and commit to stopping once the time is up. This allows you to externalize your worries, getting them out of your head and onto paper, which can be incredibly effective for clearing your mind.
A. The charm of life lies in its unpredictability
B. Reach out to a friend to discuss your concerns
C. What happens next is in the hands of the world
D. Chances are, it occurs several times daily, or even more
E. Set aside a specific time for worrying and keep a worry journal
F. Dive into an activity that’s totally different and demands your concentration
G. Talking about your worry will help you know about whether your worry is realistic
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种有效管理担忧情绪的策略。
【16题详解】
上文“How frequently do you find yourself worrying about things beyond your control?(你多久会发现自己在担心一些无法控制的事情?)”询问担心无法控制之事的频率。D选项“Chances are, it occurs several times daily, or even more(很可能,这种情况每天会发生好几次,甚至更多)”给出了可能的频率情况,与上文问题相呼应。故选D项。
【17题详解】
下文“You can never be entirely sure what the future holds. Embrace this uncertainty and find ways to flourish within it.(你永远无法完全确定未来会怎样。接受这种不确定性,并找到在其中茁壮成长的方法)”强调要接受生活的不确定性。A选项“The charm of life lies in its unpredictability(生活的魅力在于它的不可预测性)”点明生活的魅力就在于不确定性,与下文内容契合。故选A项。
【18题详解】
上文“Pour your passion into what matters to you and strive diligently toward your aspirations. That’s the best approach you can take.(把你的热情投入到对你重要的事情上,并为你的抱负努力奋斗。这是你能采取的最好方法)”说明要专注于自己的事,做好自己该做的。C选项“What happens next is in the hands of the world(接下来会发生什么就交给世界吧)”承接上文,表明做好自己后,后续结果就顺其自然,符合逻辑。故选C项。
【19题详解】
上文“Really can’t seem to get it out of your head?(真的似乎无法把它从你的脑海中赶走吗?)”提出问题,即无法摆脱担忧。F选项“Dive into an activity that’s totally different and demands your concentration(投入到一项完全不同且需要你全神贯注的活动中去)”给出解决办法,与上文问题形成呼应,同时照应小标题“Distract yourself with another activity(用其他活动分散注意力)”。故选F项。
【20题详解】
下文“If you find that the above strategies aren’t helping you manage your worries, try setting aside a specific time each day to focus on them. During this period, write down all your concerns in your worry journal and commit to stopping once the time is up.(如果你发现上述策略无法帮助你管理担忧情绪,试着每天留出一段特定的时间来专注于这些担忧。在这段时间里,把你所有的担忧写在你的担忧日记里,并承诺时间一到就停止)”详细介绍了设定专门时间担忧并记录的方法。E选项“Set aside a specific time for worrying and keep a worry journal(留出特定的时间来担忧并记录担忧日记)”概括了这一策略,与下文内容相符,适合做小标题。故选E项。

第二节 (满分20分)
57. 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。
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very obvious scar (伤疤) on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not notice it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
It never occurred to me that something like this would happen to my son years later. Sending a child off to college can certainly be stressful for concerned parents. It was in 2018 that my son went off to college. He rarely contacted us. I couldn’t help asking about other aspects, which sometimes made him complain that I didn’t treat him as an adult.
To be honest, my son is excellent. Some of my friends always tell me that they admire my son’s characters and they hope their sons could have some of them.
Unexpectedly, it was 4 o’clock in the morning in 2020, when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just brought in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for an aircraft and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was serious.
The doctor described the reason, which caused the burns. At 6 am, my son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they lit the charcoal, it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline. The flames caught my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
Fortunately, one of the boys who was quick-minded grasped my son and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in shape to save him from severe burns and terrible scars.
After he recovered from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery for 6 months because it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So I told him about Nancy’s childhood.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily. Although I knew that there were going to be storms in life, it was hard for me to imagine that a handsome and sunny boy would return to his classmates with scars. I really didn’t know how to comfort him. After all, the scars were on him. Not all of us could be able to turn that particular page successfully. It was at this time that I remembered what my mother said to my sister. It was those words that enabled her to overcome her psychological barriers and lead a smooth life.
So I told him about Nancy’s childhood. I passed the wisdom on to my son. Realizing my complex feelings, he smiled and comforted me instead. He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high. By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter. So he made the decision to give up any plastic surgery. We all have “scars” that we believe will keep people away from us. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
