Susan B. Anthony was called terrible names, had things thrown at her, and even had her picture dragged through the streets. But still she didn’t back down. She thought fighting for women’s rights — and the rights of everyone — was too important.
Anthony was born in Massachusetts in 1820. From an early age, she was taught that everyone should be equal. She knew it wasn’t fair that she didn’t have a say in electing (选择) political leaders just because she was a woman. She also thought that it wasn’t right that male teachers made more money than she did. In the 1850s, she started voicing her opinion publicly, stopping people on the streets or giving speeches around the country.
In 1856 Anthony joined the anti-slavery (反对奴隶) movement. She gave speeches organized meetings, put up posters, and handed out leaflets, even though she faced angry crowds of people who disagreed with her. She met Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851, and together they co-founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869 to push for women’s voting (投票) rights. They also launched a newspaper, The Revolution, to spread their message.
African-Americans were recognized as U. S. citizens in 1870, and black men were later given the right to vote. But African-American women, like all women, still did not have the right to vote. This made Anthony so angry that she cast a vote in the 1872 presidential election, an act for which she was arrested (逮捕) and fined $100 — though she never paid the fine.
Anthony worked for more than 50 years for women’s rights, but she never got to legally vote. She died on March 13,1906,14 years before the 19th Amendment (修正案) gave all women the right to vote. Despite this, her efforts were recognized, and the amendment was even referred to as the “Anthony Amendment” in her honor. And in 1979, Anthony became the first woman to be on a U. S. coin, the silver dollar.
4. What was Anthony’s main goal?
A. Ending slavery.
B. Getting paid as much as a man.
C. Gaining voting rights for women.
D. Becoming the first woman to be on a U. S. coin.
5. What happened to Anthony at the age of 49?
A. She launched a newspaper.
B. She was recognized as a U. S. citizen.
C. She started voicing her opinion publicly.
D. She set up the National Woman Suffrage Association.
6. Why was Anthony arrested?
A. For voting in an election. B. For refusing to pay the fine.
C. For stopping people on the streets. D. For joining the anti-slavery movement.
7. Why was the 19th Amendment called the “Anthony Amendment”?
A. Because Anthony voted for it.
B. Because Anthony set it up.
C. Because of Anthony’s great contributions.
D. Because Anthony was an important political leader.

Officials in South Carolina have recaptured (重新捕获) the last of 43 monkeys that escaped from a farm that raises monkeys in early November.
Head of Alpha Genesis research center, Greg Westergaard, said the final four recaptured monkeys appeared to be in good health. The remaining monkeys had spent weeks living in the woods and even experienced a rare snowstorm.
Alpha Genesis is a company that offers services to biomedical researchers. Some locals call it “the monkey farm.” The animals — all female rhesus macaque monkeys — escaped from the grounds of the company on November 6.
Police who investigated (调查) the incident said the monkeys escaped when an employee failed to properly lock their enclosure (围栏). Westergaard explained in November that workers were supposed to lock one gate before opening another, but all three gates were left unlocked.
Employees at Alpha Genesis tried to persuade the monkeys to return with offers of special foods, including peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and “monkey biscuits” — a high-protein food made specially for rhesus macaques. Alpha Genesis employees kept an eye on the monkeys and set out kind traps. Most of the animals came back to eat the food.
Most of the monkeys did not go far. The animals are about the size of a cat, weighing around 3 kilograms. The monkeys never represented a risk to public health, police and health officials said. During the time they were free, the area received its first snow in seven years, measuring up to 8 centimeters.
The Alpha Genesis company raises the monkeys to sell to medical labs and other researchers. Humans have been using the monkeys for scientific research since the late 1800s. Scientists believe rhesus macaques and humans split from a common ancestor about 25 million years ago and share about 93 percent of the same DNA.
8. What caused the monkeys to escape from Alpha Genesis?
A. The gates were left unlocked.
B. The employee forgot to feed them.
C The monkeys broke free on their own.
D. The enclosure was damaged by a rare snowstorm.
9. What is the main purpose of Alpha Genesis company?
A To provide pets for locals.
B. To sell the monkeys for scientific research.
C. To study rhesus macaque monkeys’ behavior.
D. To train the monkeys for human entertainment.
10. What can we know about rhesus macaque monkeys from the text?
A. They are from South Carolina. B. They are about the weight of a cat.
C. They can hardly survive in the wild. D. They are genetically close to humans.
11. Which of the following serves as the best title?
A. Escaped Monkeys Recaptured
B. Snowstorm Affects Escaped Monkeys
C. South Carolina Monkey Farm Incident
D. Biomedical Research and Rhesus Macaque Monkeys
D
When you think of diversity (多样性), what do you think of? To some it means a place where all are included, a place where you can be who you are without worry. But what does it mean in schools? We took a closer look.
When we asked students at our school about diversity, the responses were extremely positive. Younger students, while often unsure of the exact definition, confidently described our school as inclusive (包容的). A Year 2 student explained diversity as “everyone treating each other as equals.” Most students expressed how diversity makes them feel happy, proud of who they are, and comfortable being themselves. To us, diversity means feeling comfortable, being who you are in a space that makes you feel good about your unique self.
It is no secret that diversity has changed a lot in the last five years, but we wanted to know exactly how much it has evolved (进化). We asked Year 5 and 6 students their opinion on the topic and we received very varied responses. Some said it hasn’t changed that much, and we have always been a truly diverse school, but others responded saying that in the last few years, they have noticed an increase in people feeling more comfortable being themselves.
We also touched base with some of the teachers, who were able to give us more information on the topic. They agreed that events like Harmony Day and Diversity Day have created opportunities for teachers and students to discuss and celebrate the differences that make the school unique. One teacher said diversity has grown over time and continues to play an important role in making our school as welcoming and inclusive as it is. Another added: “Diversity is all around us and it is great to see students being themselves. After all, diversity is for everyone.”
12. What did a Year 2 student say about diversity?
A. It means being happy. B. It means being proud.
C. It means self-acceptance. D. It means equal treatment.
13. What does the underlined phrase “touched base with” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Talked to. B. Agreed with. C. Came across. D. Responded to.
14. Why do teachers think Harmony Day is important?
A. It makes students happy. B. It helps build self-confidence.
C. It promotes diversity discussion. D. It strengthens teacher-student relationship.
15. What can we infer about the school’s atmosphere about diversity?
A Diversity is only celebrated during special events.
B. The school is actively working to include everyone.
C Students are encouraged to hide their differences.
D. The school focuses on students’ grades.

Two experienced hikers, Kathryn McKee, 51, and Beata LeLacheur, 54, from Massachusetts, were rescued from Mount Washington after a terrible snowstorm trapped them at about 5,000 feet on Sunday. Mount Washington is the tallest peak in the Northeast at 6,288 feet, and is known for its extreme weather conditions.
The storm struck while the pair was hiking a difficult trail. Temperatures dropped and winds kicked up, blowing snow so that the trail the friends were following was completely wiped out. The pair pushed through chest-deep snow, lost on the mountain. “Both of us had received training on hikes and had winter hiking experience. So we didn’t expect we would get lost,” said McKee.
One of McKee’s snowshoes got stuck in a “spruce trap,” a hole in the snow under trees. “It took like 20 minutes to get out of that,” she recalled in an interview. “But that kept happening. We had to crawl to try to get to the next point, but our struggling wasn’t working.”
After about an hour of struggling, the hikers called 911 shortly after 6 p. m. and reached conservation officers, who directed them toward the trail — just 34 feet away. “They ended up on the trail several times but could not follow it because of the wind and blowing snow,” Officer Matthew Holmes said. The officers advised them to crowd together to stay warm and wait for rescue as temperatures dropped to -2°F with winds blowing at up to 60 mph.
McKee said that despite wearing gloves, her “hands were frozen.” The pair used a bag to protect themselves from the wind. They sat crowded together in the snow for six hours, unable to move as the wind buried them under the chest-deep snow. “I was terrified that my friend or I might pass away,” McKee said. “But we just kept focusing on survival, refusing to give in to panic.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

In the 1850s, she started voicing her opinion publicly, stopping people on the streets or giving speeches around the country.
In 1856 Anthony joined the anti-slavery (反对奴隶) movement. She gave speeches, organized meetings, put up posters, and handed out leaflets, even though she faced angry crowds of people who disagreed with her. She met Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851, and together they co-founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869 to push for women’s voting (投票) rights. They also launched a newspaper, The Revolution, to spread their message.
African-Americans were recognized as U. S. citizens in 1870, and black men were later given the right to vote. But African-American women, like all women, still did not have the right to vote. This made Anthony so angry that she cast a vote in the 1872 presidential election, an act for which she was arrested (逮捕) and fined $100 — though she never paid the fine.
Anthony worked for more than 50 years for women’s rights, but she never got to legally vote. She died on March 13,1906,14 years before the 19th Amendment (修正案) gave all women the right to vote. Despite this, her efforts were recognized, and the amendment was even referred to as the “Anthony Amendment” in her honor. And in 1979, Anthony became the first woman to be on a U. S. coin, the silver dollar.
4. What was Anthony’s main goal?
A. Ending slavery.
B. Getting paid as much as a man.
C. Gaining voting rights for women.
D. Becoming the first woman to be on a U. S. coin.
5. What happened to Anthony at the age of 49?
A. She launched a newspaper.
B. She was recognized as a U. S. citizen.
C. She started voicing her opinion publicly.
D. She set up the National Woman Suffrage Association.
6. Why was Anthony arrested?
A. For voting in an election. B. For refusing to pay the fine.
C. For stopping people on the streets. D. For joining the anti-slavery movement.
7. Why was the 19th Amendment called the “Anthony Amendment”?
A. Because Anthony voted for it.
B. Because Anthony set it up.
C. Because of Anthony’s great contributions.
D. Because Anthony was an important political leader.

Officials in South Carolina have recaptured (重新捕获) the last of 43 monkeys that escaped from a farm that raises monkeys in early November.
Head of Alpha Genesis research center, Greg Westergaard, said the final four recaptured monkeys appeared to be in good health. The remaining monkeys had spent weeks living in the woods and even experienced a rare snowstorm.
Alpha Genesis is a company that offers services to biomedical researchers. Some locals call it “the monkey farm.” The animals — all female rhesus macaque monkeys — escaped from the grounds of the company on November 6.
Police who investigated (调查) the incident said the monkeys escaped when an employee failed to properly lock their enclosure (围栏). Westergaard explained in November that workers were supposed to lock one gate before opening another, but all three gates were left unlocked.
Employees at Alpha Genesis tried to persuade the monkeys to return with offers of special foods, including peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and “monkey biscuits” — a high-protein food made specially for rhesus macaques. Alpha Genesis employees kept an eye on the monkeys and set out kind traps. Most of the animals came back to eat the food.
Most of the monkeys did not go far. The animals are about the size of a cat, weighing around 3 kilograms. The monkeys never represented a risk to public health, police and health officials said. During the time they were free, the area received its first snow in seven years, measuring up to 8 centimeters.
The Alpha Genesis company raises the monkeys to sell to medical labs and other researchers. Humans have been using the monkeys for scientific research since the late 1800s. Scientists believe rhesus macaques and humans split from a common ancestor about 25 million years ago and share about 93 percent of the same DNA.
8. What caused the monkeys to escape from Alpha Genesis?
A. The gates were left unlocked.
B. The employee forgot to feed them.
C. The monkeys broke free on their own.
D. The enclosure was damaged by a rare snowstorm.
9. What is the main purpose of Alpha Genesis company?
A. To provide pets for locals.
B. To sell the monkeys for scientific research.
C. To study rhesus macaque monkeys’ behavior.
D. To train the monkeys for human entertainment.
10. What can we know about rhesus macaque monkeys from the text?
A. They are from South Carolina. B. They are about the weight of a cat.
C. They can hardly survive in the wild. D. They are genetically close to humans.
11. Which of the following serves as the best title?
A. Escaped Monkeys Recaptured
B. Snowstorm Affects Escaped Monkeys
C. South Carolina Monkey Farm Incident
D. Biomedical Research and Rhesus Macaque Monkeys
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了南卡罗来纳州的一个猴子饲养场的43只猴子逃脱后被重新捕获的事件。

【9题详解】

When you think of diversity (多样性), what do you think of? To some it means a place where all are included, a place where you can be who you are without worry. But what does it mean in schools? We took a closer look.
When we asked students at our school about diversity, the responses were extremely positive. Younger students, while often unsure of the exact definition, confidently described our school as inclusive (包容的). A Year 2 student explained diversity as “everyone treating each other as equals.” Most students expressed how diversity makes them feel happy, proud of who they are, and comfortable being themselves. To us, diversity means feeling comfortable, being who you are in a space that makes you feel good about your unique self.
It is no secret that diversity has changed a lot in the last five years, but we wanted to know exactly how much it has evolved (进化). We asked Year 5 and 6 students their opinion on the topic and we received very varied responses. Some said it hasn’t changed that much, and we have always been a truly diverse school, but others responded saying that in the last few years, they have noticed an increase in people feeling more comfortable being themselves.
We also touched base with some of the teachers, who were able to give us more information on the topic. They agreed that events like Harmony Day and Diversity Day have created opportunities for teachers and students to discuss and celebrate the differences that make the school unique. One teacher said diversity has grown over time and continues to play an important role in making our school as welcoming and inclusive as it is. Another added: “Diversity is all around us and it is great to see students being themselves. After all, diversity is for everyone.”
12. What did a Year 2 student say about diversity?
A. It means being happy. B. It means being proud.
C. It means self-acceptance. D. It means equal treatment.
13. What does the underlined phrase “touched base with” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Talked to. B. Agreed with. C. Came across. D. Responded to.
14. Why do teachers think Harmony Day is important?
A. It makes students happy. B. It helps build self-confidence.
C. It promotes diversity discussion. D. It strengthens teacher-student relationship.
15. What can we infer about the school’s atmosphere about diversity?
A. Diversity is only celebrated during special events.
B. The school is actively working to include everyone.
C. Students are encouraged to hide their differences.
D. The school focuses on students’ grades.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了学校内的多样性和包容性,强调学生和老师对于多样性的理解和其在学校文化中的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A Year 2 student explained diversity as “everyone treating each other as equals.”(一名二年级学生将多样性解释为“每个人都平等对待彼此”)”可知,一名二年级学生将多样性解释为“每个人都平等相待”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“who were able to give us more information on the topic.(他们能给我们提供更多关于这个话题的信息)”可知,与老师交流的时候,老师才能提供更多关于这个话题的信息。所以换线词的意思是“与……谈话”。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They agreed that events like Harmony Day and Diversity Day have created opportunities for teachers and students to discuss and celebrate the differences that make the school unique.( 他们一致认为,和谐日和多样性日等活动为教师和学生创造了讨论和庆祝使学校与众不同的差异的机会)”可知,老师们认为像“和谐日”和“多样性日”这样的活动为师生创造了讨论和庆祝差异的机会,这说明“和谐日”能促进关于多样性的讨论。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Younger students, while often unsure of the exact definition, confidently described our school as inclusive(包容的)(年轻的学生,虽然经常不确定确切的定义,自信地描述我们的学校是包容性的)”以及最后一段“One teacher said diversity has grown over time and continues to play an important role in making our school as welcoming and inclusive as it is (一位老师说,随着时间的推移,多样性不断增长,并在使我们的学校保持热情和包容性方面继续发挥重要作用)”可知,文章中提到学生们认为学校具有包容性,老师们也表示像“和谐日”和“多样性日”这样的活动在不断促进对多样性的讨论和庆祝,还有老师说多样性在学校不断发展,让学校更加包容,这些都表明学校积极营造氛围,努力让每个人都能融入其中。故选B项。

Finally, set a positive example. If your child sees you enjoying healthy foods like vegetables and fish, they’ll be more likely to try them too. ___20___ It’s not just Mummy and Daddy who love it; Grandma and Grandpa are really enjoying their meal too!
A. Instead, try serving it a few more times.

考查名词的数。句意:麦凯说:“我非常担心人工智能在创作新书方面的作用,部分原因是,作为一名作家,它可能会伤害那些已经面临谋生挑战的新作家。”challenge是可数名词,这里表示新作家面临的各种挑战,所以用复数形式。故填challenges。
【40题详解】
考查比较级。句意:而现在,与人工智能展开竞争所有书面书籍所蕴含的海量知识,这可能会让情况变得更加棘手。even常用来修饰比较级形式。make的宾语后用形容词。故填harder。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:麦凯希望所有的新书都有一个特殊的标记,表明是人工智能还是人写的。“whether... or...”是固定搭配,意为“是……还是……”。故填or。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他说,这个标志可能会像食品包装上的标志一样。先行词是those,指物,在定语从句中作主语,可以用that或which引导定语从句。故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他认为,公众有权知道一本书在创作过程中涉及了多少人工智能,并贴上“100%无人工智能或100%人工制作”的标签。“have the right to do sth”是固定短语,意为“有做某事的权利”。故填to know。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:麦凯发出这一呼吁之际,美国和英国拒绝签署一项关于人工智能的国际协议,以保持其“清洁”和“道德”,称对人工智能的过多监管可能会扼杀一个刚刚起步的新行业。根据前面的不定冠词“an”和“sign”可知,这里需要用可数名词的单数形式。故填agreement。

考查非谓语动词。句意:麦凯发出这一呼吁之际,美国和英国拒绝签署一项关于人工智能的国际协议,以保持其“清洁”和“道德”,称对人工智能的过多监管可能会扼杀一个刚刚起步的新行业。此处是现在分词短语作伴随状语,且say与主语“the USA and UK”之间是主动关系。故填saying。

47. 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。
Two experienced hikers, Kathryn McKee, 51, and Beata LeLacheur, 54, from Massachusetts, were rescued from Mount Washington after a terrible snowstorm trapped them at about 5,000 feet on Sunday. Mount Washington is the tallest peak in the Northeast at 6,288 feet, and is known for its extreme weather conditions.
The storm struck while the pair was hiking a difficult trail. Temperatures dropped and winds kicked up, blowing snow so that the trail the friends were following was completely wiped out. The pair pushed through chest-deep snow, lost on the mountain. “Both of us had received training on hikes and had winter hiking experience. So we didn’t expect we would get lost,” said McKee.
One of McKee’s snowshoes got stuck in a “spruce trap,” a hole in the snow under trees. “It took like 20 minutes to get out of that,” she recalled in an interview. “But that kept happening. We had to crawl to try to get to the next point, but our struggling wasn’t working.”
After about an hour of struggling, the hikers called 911 shortly after 6 p. m. and reached conservation officers, who directed them toward the trail — just 34 feet away. “They ended up on the trail several times but could not follow it because of the wind and blowing snow,” Officer Matthew Holmes said. The officers advised them to crowd together to stay warm and wait for rescue as temperatures dropped to -2°F with winds blowing at up to 60 mph.
McKee said that despite wearing gloves, her “hands were frozen.” The pair used a bag to protect themselves from the wind. They sat crowded together in the snow for six hours, unable to move as the wind buried them under the chest-deep snow. “I was terrified that my friend or I might pass away,” McKee said. “But we just kept focusing on survival, refusing to give in to panic.”

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The rescuers began their operation at 8:30 p. m. Facing the fierce wind and snow, they advanced slowly but steadily. Using special equipment, they managed to locate the trapped hikers. After hours of great efforts, they finally found McKee and LeLacheur buried in the snow. The rescuers quickly dug them out and provided immediate medical aid. Thanks to the timely rescue, the two hikers were in stable condition. “We feel really awful about having to make that 911 call, but it did save our lives, and we’re indeed grateful,” said McKee.
Looking ahead, McKee and LeLacheur plan to return to the White Mountains. They say this experience has only strengthened their love for nature and hiking. They want to try again, better prepared this time. “This experience has taught us valuable lessons about preparation and respect for nature,” McKee said. “We’ll be more cautious and better equipped next time.” LeLacheur added, “The mountains are unpredictable, but they’re also incredibly beautiful. We’re not going to let this stop us from exploring.”
