阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
On September 17, 2022, a father and son set out to begin the first of three legs of the Ironman competition in Oxford. David, 59, and his son, John, 28, weren’t the typical competitors. Despite difficulty in walking, John has his dream of being an athlete. His father would act as his arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race.
To qualify as having finished, competitors must complete a hard 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours. David and John had participated together in five Ironman competitions, but they had yet to finish in the required time.
The race began with a 2.4-mile swim in the Choptank River. With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to a boat with his son inside, the father eased himself into the water. Swimming while carrying another person is tough enough — David also had to fight with jellyfish (水母).
The pair completed the swim in 90 minutes, and went through with the 112-mile bicycle ride in about nine hours, then set their sights on the final leg of the 26.2-mile marathon with David pushing John in the racing chair.
With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, his mom, on the sidelines, handed him the rolling walker. Not that long ago, John could hardly walk 23 steps. But after years of painful training, he increased his step count and was determined to finish the race on his own. He knew time was almost running out and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. “Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because dad had worked so hard.”
After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds — with just four minutes and 25 seconds to spare — father and son crossed the finish line together.
As the crowd flooded and cheered on John, the weary father kept a low profile. “He didn’t want his finish line moment,” says John. “He wanted it to be mine.”
1. How did David help his son in the swimming part?
A. By pulling a rope tied to a boat. B. By swimming beside his son.
C. By pushing his son’s lifebelt. D. By carrying his son on his back.
2. Why did John worry about not making the cutoff?
A. He wouldn’t get his moment.
B. His mom would be disappointed.
C. His father had put in lots of effort.
D. The audience had high expectations.
3. What can best describe David’s role as a father?
A. Responsible and selfless. B. Brave and honest.
C. Committed and friendly. D. Gentle and determined.
B
Every morning in graduate school, Christy would wave to the woman selling hot dogs outside her building. “If she wasn’t there on a given day, things didn’t feel right. I missed her,” says Christy, now a psychology (心理学) expert at a university in the U.K. “It was this huge source of comfort and safety, and it was with someone I never talked to.”
That connection satisfied a deep, bodily need for Christy, just like water relieves thirst. Humans are intensely social animals, and research increasingly suggests that losing our connections to others can negatively impact our health. A 2023 report called widespread loneliness in the U.S. a deadly health risk comparable to smoking up to15 cigarettes (香烟) a day. On the other hand, a Harvard study found that having strong relationships is key to living a long and happy life. The study also showed that people between 80 and 89 years old in happy marriages reported that their happiness remained stable even on days when they were in greater physical pain.
But close relationships aren’t the only social ties that matter. Chatting with a stranger, giving a smile of recognition to the waiter in your local coffee shop, or waving to the people you see every day at the park creates a much-needed sense of community. “We can’t achieve happiness by ourselves. We simply cannot survive or live well without feeling like we are accepted,” says Christy.
These “weak tie” relationships aren’t a replacement for the deeper, more meaningful connections we also need. But Christy says we should recognize and celebrate their importance, and push ourselves to engage in them because they’re so beneficial to our sense of well-being. “I am not outgoing,” she says. “And, at the same time, I love talking to strangers. I believe that anyone can do it.”
4. How did Christy feel when she couldn’t see the woman as usual?
A. Safe. B. Disappointed. C. Angry. D. Satisfied.
5. What did the Harvard study find?
A. Older adults feel happier in marriages.
B. Physical pain negatively affects happiness.
C. Close relationships lead to long-term well-being.
D. Happiness has little to do with social connections.
6. Why are “weak tie” relationships meaningful?
A. They contribute to our happiness. B. They help us to be outgoing.
C. They replace close relationships. D. They push us to communicate.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Advantages of Being Lonely B. Influence of Meeting New People
C. Value of Strong Social Connections D. Importance of “Weak Tie” Relationships
C
Young babies make many short and word-like sounds such as “ba” or “aga”. Those early sounds are later replaced with words and, eventually, sentences. While some of them are born to be more talkative than others, a new study confirms that male babies make more sounds than female babies in the first year.
While the research confirms earlier findings from a much smaller study by the same team, they still come as a surprise. That’s because there’s a common and long-held belief that females have an advantage over males in language.
In the study, Dr Kim and his team included more than 450,000 hours of all-day recordings of 5,899 babies, using a device about the size of an iPod. Those recordings were processed to count the number of words spoken by babies and adults across the first two years of life.
Generally, the data showed that male babies made 10% more sounds in the first year compared to females. In the second year, the difference turned directions, with female babies making about 7% more sounds than males. Those differences were observed even though the number of words spoken by adults caring for those babies was higher for female babies in both years compared to males.
Why, then, would male babies be more talkative than females in the first year and not later? “We think it may be because boys are more likely to die in the first year than girls. Given that so many male deaths happen in the first year, boys may have been under especially high selection pressure to produce fitness signals to express their wellness and improve their chances of surviving,” says Kim. By the second year of life, as death rates drop sharply across the board, he added, “the pressure on special fitness signaling is lower for both boys and girls.”
8. Why are the findings of the new study surprising?
A. They are similar to earlier ones.
B. They show males are more talkative.
C. They go against people’s common belief.
D. They show babies learn language differently
9. What did the study find about male babies in the second year?
A. They received more language input.
B. They showed better language abilities.
C. They communicated more with adults.
D. They made less sounds than female babies.
10. What might cause the change in sound production for male babies?
A. Improved language skills. B. Change in living environment.
C. Less need for fitness signaling. D. Increase in social communication.
第二节 选句填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do Animals Have Friends?
When you see little animals playing together around a tree, or a cat and dog sleeping together in the living room, do you ever think — are they friends? One expert, Mike, believes that many animals do have friends. If they’re in the same group, they greet one another, travel together, play together and even share food with each other. ____11____
Playing together helps animals keep them close to the group. Wild dogs who don’t play much are more likely to leave the group on their own. ____12____ If an animal has a special friend, both friends benefit by having someone to watch out for them. In the case of a young rhino (犀牛) going on its first journey, it may look for an older travel friend. ____13____
Sharing is another important part of friendship. For all animals, finding food is a matter of life and death. For some bats in Central and South America, if they don’t get a blood meal every three days, they die of hunger. ____14____ If a bat doesn’t find food, a full bat will throw up some blood from its stomach into the mouth of the hungry friend.
But sometimes members of a group also compete for food and mates, which can lead to fights. So making up after fights is a key skill. Sometimes after two male monkeys have a fight, they will sit apart, avoiding each other. ____15____ An older female monkey may need to step in to play peace-maker. She will walk up to one of them, kiss or touch him, then slowly walk toward the other. Then she sits close to the second male. Both start grooming (梳毛) her. When she leaves, they continue to groom each other, as if to say, “We’re cool now.”
A. Each wants the other to make the first move.
B. Young animals often team up for protection.
C. But hungry bats don’t need to worry if they have friends.
D. And leaving the protection of the group can be dangerous.
E. These friendly behaviors can be important for an animal to survive.
F. The friend helps to find food and water and avoid dangerous animals.
G. Bats take blood from sleeping animals, but they are surprisingly good friends.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了2022年9月17日,一位59岁的父亲戴维和他的28岁儿子约翰参加了在牛津举行的铁人三项比赛。尽管约翰行动不便,但他梦想成为运动员,父亲充当他的手脚,全程背负儿子参赛。他们需在17小时内完成140英里的游泳、自行车骑行和跑步。经过不懈努力,两人最终携手跨过终点线,展现了深沉的父爱与非凡的毅力。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to a boat with his son inside, the father eased himself into the water. Swimming while carrying another person is tough enough — David also had to fight with jellyfish (水母).(父亲把绳子的一端绑在背上的皮带上,另一端绑在船上,船上有他的儿子,他慢慢地下水了。带着另一个人游泳已经够难的了——大卫还不得不和水母搏斗)”可知,大卫是通过拉一根系在自己背上和载着儿子的船之间的绳子来帮助儿子完成游泳部分的。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“He knew time was almost running out and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. “Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because dad had worked so hard.”(他知道时间几乎要耗尽了,担心他们无法在截止时间内完成。“并不是因为我无法得到属于我的那一刻,”他说,“而是因为爸爸付出了太多努力。”)”可知,约翰担心不能按时完成主要是因为他知道父亲付出了巨大的努力,他不想让父亲的努力白费。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Despite difficulty in walking, John has his dream of being an athlete. His father would act as his arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race.(尽管走路很困难,约翰仍有成为一名运动员的梦想。他的父亲会充当他的胳膊和腿,在整个比赛中承受着儿子的重量)”以及全文可知,整篇文章描述了大卫为了帮助残疾的儿子实现运动员的梦想,不辞辛劳,承担起儿子的重量,陪伴他完成艰难的铁人三项比赛。这种行为体现了极强的责任感和无私的爱。故选A。
B

Chatting with a stranger, giving a smile of recognition to the waiter in your local coffee shop, or waving to the people you see every day at the park creates a much-needed sense of community. “We can’t achieve happiness by ourselves. We simply cannot survive or live well without feeling like we are accepted,” says Christy.
These “weak tie” relationships aren’t a replacement for the deeper, more meaningful connections we also need. But Christy says we should recognize and celebrate their importance, and push ourselves to engage in them because they’re so beneficial to our sense of well-being. “I am not outgoing,” she says. “And, at the same time, I love talking to strangers. I believe that anyone can do it.”
4. How did Christy feel when she couldn’t see the woman as usual?
A. Safe. B. Disappointed. C. Angry. D. Satisfied.
5. What did the Harvard study find?
A. Older adults feel happier in marriages.
B. Physical pain negatively affects happiness.
C. Close relationships lead to long-term well-being.
D. Happiness has little to do with social connections.
6. Why are “weak tie” relationships meaningful?
A. They contribute to our happiness. B. They help us to be outgoing.
C. They replace close relationships. D. They push us to communicate.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Advantages of Being Lonely B. Influence of Meeting New People
C. Value of Strong Social Connections D. Importance of “Weak Tie” Relationships
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了与陌生人之间的“弱联系”也能帮助我们提升幸福感。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段““If she wasn’t there on a given day, things didn’t feel right. I missed her,” says Christy, now a psychology (心理学) expert at a university in the U.K. “It was this huge source of comfort and safety, and it was with someone I never talked to.”(“如果某一天她不在,事情就会感觉不对劲。”克里斯蒂现在是英国一所大学的心理学专家,她说:“这是一个巨大的安慰和安全的来源,而且是和一个我从未说过话的人在一起。”)”可推知,当Christy不能像往常一样看见那个卖热狗的女人,她感到失望。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On the other hand, a Harvard study found that having strong relationships is key to living a long and happy life.(另一方面,哈佛大学的一项研究发现,拥有牢固的人际关系是幸福长寿的关键)”可知,哈佛大学研究发现亲密的关系能带来长期的幸福。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“These “weak tie” relationships aren’t a replacement for the deeper, more meaningful connections we also need. But Christy says we should recognize and celebrate their importance, and push ourselves to engage in them because they’re so beneficial to our sense of well-being.(这些“弱联系”关系并不能替代我们所需要的更深层、更有意义的联系。但克里斯蒂说,我们应该认识到并庆祝它们的重要性,并推动自己参与其中,因为它们对我们的幸福感非常有益)”可知,“弱联系”是有意义的,因为它们有助于我们的幸福感。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“That connection satisfied a deep, bodily need for Christy, just like water relieves thirst. Humans are intensely social animals, and research increasingly suggests that losing our connections to others can negatively impact our health.(这种联系满足了对克里斯蒂的身体深层需求,就像水可以解渴一样。人类是高度社会化的动物,越来越多的研究表明,失去与他人的联系会对我们的健康产生负面影响)”及最后一段“These “weak tie” relationships aren’t a replacement for the deeper, more meaningful connections we also need. But Christy says we should recognize and celebrate their importance, and push ourselves to engage in them because they’re so beneficial to our sense of well-being.(这些“弱联系”关系并不能替代我们所需要的更深层、更有意义的联系。但克里斯蒂说,我们应该认识到并庆祝它们的重要性,并推动自己参与其中,因为它们对我们的幸福感非常有益)”可知,本文介绍了与陌生人之间的“弱联系”对我们来说很重要,能提升幸福感,D选项“‘弱联系’关系的重要性”符合本文主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选D。
C
Young babies make many short and word-like sounds such as “ba” or “aga”. Those early sounds are later replaced with words and, eventually, sentences. While some of them are born to be more talkative than others, a new study confirms that male babies make more sounds than female babies in the first year.
While the research confirms earlier findings from a much smaller study by the same team, they still come as a surprise. That’s because there’s a common and long-held belief that females have an advantage over males in language.
In the study, Dr Kim and his team included more than 450,000 hours of all-day recordings of 5,899 babies, using a device about the size of an iPod. Those recordings were processed to count the number of words spoken by babies and adults across the first two years of life.
Generally, the data showed that male babies made 10% more sounds in the first year compared to females. In the second year, the difference turned directions, with female babies making about 7% more sounds than males. Those differences were observed even though the number of words spoken by adults caring for those babies was higher for female babies in both years compared to males.
Why, then, would male babies be more talkative than females in the first year and not later? “We think it may be because boys are more likely to die in the first year than girls. Given that so many male deaths happen in the first year, boys may have been under especially high selection pressure to produce fitness signals to express their wellness and improve their chances of surviving,” says Kim. By the second year of life, as death rates drop sharply across the board, he added, “the pressure on special fitness signaling is lower for both boys and girls.”
8. Why are the findings of the new study surprising?
A. They are similar to earlier ones.
B. They show males are more talkative.
C. They go against people’s common belief.
D. They show babies learn language differently
9. What did the study find about male babies in the second year?
A. They received more language input.
B. They showed better language abilities.
C. They communicated more with adults.
D. They made less sounds than female babies.
10. What might cause the change in sound production for male babies?
A. Improved language skills. B. Change in living environment.
C. Less need for fitness signaling. D. Increase in social communication.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,研究表明,男婴在出生的第一年发音比女婴多,而在第二年,发出的声音比女婴要少,文章解释了这种现象的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While some of them are born to be more talkative than others, a new study confirms that male babies make more sounds than female babies in the first year.(虽然有些婴儿生来就比其他人更健谈,但一项新的研究证实,男婴在出生第一年发出的声音比女婴更多)”及第二段“While the research confirms earlier findings from a much smaller study by the same team, they still come as a surprise. That’s because there’s a common and long-held belief that females have an advantage over males in language.(虽然这项研究证实了同一团队先前进行的一项规模小得多的研究的结果,但它们仍然令人惊讶。这是因为人们长期以来普遍认为,女性在语言方面比男性更有优势。)”可知,新的研究表明男婴在出生的第一年发音比女婴多,与长期以来人们普遍女性在语言方面比男性更有优势这一观点相悖,这是令人惊讶的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In the second year, the difference turned directions, with female babies making about 7% more sounds than males.(在第二年,这种差异转向了方向,女婴发出的声音比男婴多7%)”可知,第二年,男婴发出的声音比女婴要少。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““We think it may be because boys are more likely to die in the first year than girls. Given that so many male deaths happen in the first year, boys may have been under especially high selection pressure to produce fitness signals to express their wellness and improve their chances of surviving,” says Kim. By the second year of life, as death rates drop sharply across the board, he added, “the pressure on special fitness signaling is lower for both boys and girls.”(“我们认为这可能是因为男孩在第一年比女孩更容易死亡。鉴于如此多的男性死亡发生在第一年,男孩可能在特别高的选择压力下产生健康信号来表达他们的健康和提高他们的生存机会,”Kim说。他补充说,到婴儿出生后第二年,随着死亡率全面大幅下降,“男孩和女孩在特殊健康信号方面的压力都较低。”)”可知,男婴在第二年发出更少的声音也许是由于第二年死亡压力减少,所以需要更少的信号来表达健康需求。故选C。

Do Animals Have Friends?
When you see little animals playing together around a tree, or a cat and dog sleeping together in the living room, do you ever think — are they friends? One expert, Mike, believes that many animals do have friends. If they’re in the same group, they greet one another, travel together, play together and even share food with each other. ____11____
Playing together helps animals keep them close to the group. Wild dogs who don’t play much are more likely to leave the group on their own. ____12____ If an animal has a special friend, both friends benefit by having someone to watch out for them. In the case of a young rhino (犀牛) going on its first journey, it may look for an older travel friend. ____13____
Sharing is another important part of friendship. For all animals, finding food is a matter of life and death. For some bats in Central and South America, if they don’t get a blood meal every three days, they die of hunger. ____14____ If a bat doesn’t find food, a full bat will throw up some blood from its stomach into the mouth of the hungry friend.
But sometimes members of a group also compete for food and mates, which can lead to fights. So making up after fights is a key skill. Sometimes after two male monkeys have a fight, they will sit apart, avoiding each other. ____15____ An older female monkey may need to step in to play peace-maker. She will walk up to one of them, kiss or touch him, then slowly walk toward the other. Then she sits close to the second male. Both start grooming (梳毛) her. When she leaves, they continue to groom each other, as if to say, “We’re cool now.”
A. Each wants the other to make the first move.
B. Young animals often team up for protection.
C. But hungry bats don’t need to worry if they have friends.
D. And leaving the protection of the group can be dangerous.
E. These friendly behaviors can be important for an animal to survive.
F. The friend helps to find food and water, and avoid dangerous animals.
G. Bats take blood from sleeping animals, but they are surprisingly good friends.
【答案】11. E 12. D 13. F 14. C 15. A
【解析】

上文“If they’re in the same group, they greet one another, travel together, play together and even share food with each other.(如果它们在同一个群体中,它们会相互问候,一起旅行,一起玩耍,甚至分享食物。)”提到动物的一些互动行为,结合下文“ Playing together helps animals keep them close to the group.(一起玩耍有助于动物们与群体保持亲密关系)”可知,下文是描述这些行为的好处,选项E“这些友好行为对于动物的生存很重要”承上启下,符合语境。因此,正确选项是E。

【13题详解】
上文提到“If an animal has a special friend, both friends benefit by having someone to watch out for them (如果一个动物有一个特别的朋友,那么两个朋友都会因为有人照看而受益。)”,说明拥有特殊朋友可以为彼此提供保护。选项F“这个朋友会帮助寻找食物和水,避免危险的动物”与上文的语境相吻合,强调了朋友在生存中的互助作用。因此,正确选项是F。
【14题详解】
上文提到“For some bats in Central and South America, if they don’t get a blood meal every three days, they die of hunger (对于中美洲和南美洲的一些蝙蝠来说,如果它们每三天没有一顿血液食物,它们就会饿死。)”,说明某些蝙蝠如果每三天没有血液食物就会饿死,下文“If a bat doesn’t find food, a full bat will throw up some blood from its stomach into the mouth of the hungry friend.(如果一只蝙蝠找不到食物,一只吃饱了的蝙蝠会从胃里吐出一些血到饥饿的朋友嘴里)”提到朋友会提供帮助,选项C“如果它们有朋友,饥饿的蝙蝠就不需要担心。”与上文的语境相吻合,引起下文,强调了朋友在食物共享中的作用。因此,正确选项是C。
【15题详解】
上文提到“Sometimes after two male monkeys have a fight, they will sit apart, avoiding each other (有时两只雄性猴子打斗后,它们会分开坐,避开彼此。)”,选项A“每个人都希望对方先采取行动”与上文的语境相吻合,each指代的就是上文中的猴子,描述了猴子在打架后的行为和心理状态。因此,正确选项是A。

【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:他的伤势如此严重,以至于身体完全失去了活动和知觉。此处需要使用so,构成固定搭配“so...that... ”,表示“如此……以至于……”,副词so作状语修饰形容词severe,that引导结果状语从句。故填so。

【答案】peaceful
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:金组织了许多和平抗议活动,但他因此多次入狱。protests 是名词,前面需要用形容词来修饰,peace是名词,其形容词形式是 peaceful,表示 “和平的”。故填 peaceful。

【答案】Unfortunately
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:不幸的是,1955 年灾难降临到了里夫身上。他在骑马时从马上摔下来,摔断了脖子。空处修饰整个句子,应用副词形式作状语,根据disaster struck Reeve可知,这是一件不幸的事情,所以用unfortunately,表示“不幸地”,置于句首,首字母大写。故填Unfortunately。
76. Captain Scott left a record, for honesty, for sincerity, for ______(brave), for everything that makes a man. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】bravery

77. First, his two sledges ______ (break) down and then the horses began to have serious difficulties with the snow and the cold. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】broke
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:首先,他两辆雪橇坏了,然后马开始在雪和寒冷中遇到严重的困难。此处作谓语动词,主语为his two sledges,break down为不及物动词作谓语动词,且根据后文的began可知,此处应用过去时,故填broke。
78. She has a strong desire ______(catch) up on her reading during the holidays. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to catch
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意:她强烈渴望在假期里补上她落下的阅读量。“have a strong desire to do sth.” 是固定用法,表示 “有强烈的愿望去做某事”,此处要用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰 “desire”。故填 to catch。
79. Communicating through a screen makes ______ more difficult for children to concentrate. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】it
【解析】
【详解】考查it作形式宾语。句意:通过屏幕交流会让儿童更难集中注意力。此处需填入形式宾语 it,指代后文的真实宾语to concentrate,构成结构:make + it + adj. + to do sth.。故填it。
80. In 1943, many people ______ (treat) unfairly due to their skin color in America. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】were treated
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意:1943年,在美国,许多人因为肤色而受到不公平的待遇。由“in 1943”可知事情发生在过去,要用一般过去时;主语many people与treat之间是被动关系,即 “人们被不公平对待”,所以要用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为 “was/were+过去分词”,主语 many people 是复数,故填 were treated。
