After seemingly endless waiting, news finally reached President Abraham Lincoln. The North had won at Gettysburg. The citizens of Pennsylvania created a national cemetery(公墓)for the soldiers who lay dead at Gettysburg. A ceremony was planned. Lincoln received an invitation to attend. He was not asked to give the major speech of the day. That honor was given to a New England statesman and professional speaker named Edward Everett. The president was asked instead to say “a few words”.
As the day approached, Lincoln’s wife asked him to reconsider. Their son, Tad, had fallen ill. Mary Lincoln was near crazy. On the morning of the day, Tad was so sick that he could not eat. Lincoln felt unwell himself, but he decided to go anyway.
On Thursday, November 19, for two hours, Everett held the audience spellbound with his rich voice and inspiring words. Then Lincoln rose to speak. “Four score and seven years ago,” he began in his high pitched(声调高的)voice. He spoke for barely three minutes.
As Lincoln sat down, some eyewitnesses recalled little applause(掌声). Others heard “not a word, not a cheer, not a shout”. A person taking notes asked Lincoln, “Is that all?” Embarrassed, Lincoln replied, “Yes--for the present.” A photographer in the crowd had not even had time to take a picture.
Lincoln thought his speech was a failure. Some newspapers considered it as “silly” and “boring”. But Everett correctly predicted that the Gettysburg Address would “live among the history of man”. A few days after both of them had spoken at Gettysburg, he wrote to Lincoln, saying that he wished he had come “as close to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes”. Lincoln replied, telling Everett how pleased he was that “the little I did say was not entirely a failure.”
Indeed it was not. It gave the North new hope and purpose as to why it was fighting the war. Today, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is remembered as one of the greatest speeches of all time.
24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Lincoln was asked to give a mini speech.
B. Lincoln was elected President on the victory of Gettysburg.
C. Lincoln’s speech was given to celebrate the end of the War.
D. Lincoln ordered the construction of a cemetery in Gettysburg.
25. Why does the writer mention the person taking notes?
A. To show the disappointment of the audience.
B. To show the greatness of Lincoln’s speech.
C. To laugh at Lincoln for his unsuccessful speech.
D. To tell us that Lincoln was very sad about his speech.
26. What did Everett intend to express about Lincoln’s speech in the 5th paragraph?
A. Sympathy. B. Criticism.
C. Appreciation. D. Embarrassment.
27. Why did Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address become famous?
A. Because it was distinctively well constructed.
B. Because it was concise and delivered in a rich voice.
C. Because Everett, a great speaker, sang high praise for it.
D. Because people got hope and a sense of purpose from it.
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亚伯拉罕·林肯总统在北方在葛底斯堡取得了胜利后发表著名演讲以及人们对演讲的反应。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“He was not asked to give the major speech of the day. That honor was given to a New England statesman and professional speaker named Edward Everett. The president was asked instead to say “a few words”.(他没有被要求发表当天的重要讲话。这个荣誉被授予了新英格兰的政治家和职业演说家爱德华·埃弗雷特。总统被要求说“几句话”。)”可知,Lincoln仅被邀请讲几句话,做一个简短的演讲。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“As Lincoln sat down, some eyewitnesses recalled little applause(掌声). Others heard “not a word, not a cheer, not a shout”. A person taking notes asked Lincoln, “Is that all?” Embarrassed, Lincoln replied, “Yes --- for the present.”(当林肯坐下来的时候,一些目击者回忆说没有什么掌声。其他人听到的是“没有一个字,没有欢呼,没有呼喊”。一个做笔记的人问林肯:“就这些吗?”林肯感到很尴尬,回答说:“是的,暂时是的。”)”可知,观众们对于Lincoln的简短发言表现得并不满意,而引用记笔记这个人的话更加体现了观众们的失望。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据划线部分后一句“…he had come “as close to the central idea of the occasion(……他已经“接近这个场合的中心思想,)”及最后一段“Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is remembered as one of the greatest speeches of all time.(亚伯拉罕·林肯的葛底斯堡演说作为有史以来最伟大的演讲之一而被人们所铭记。)”可知,Lincoln总统的演讲十分成功,Everett写信是为了表达对总统的演讲的认可和欣赏。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It gave the North new hope and purpose as to why it was fighting the war.(它给了北方新的希望和目标,让他们明白为什么要打这场战争。)”可知,Lincoln总统的演讲讲述了反对战争的目的,给了北方人民希望。故选D。
C
Alaska’s Mendenhall glacier (冰川) is about 20 minutes by car from Juneau, the state capital. It is one of the area’s most popular sites for tourists. But climate change has caused the ice to melt and the glacier to retreat (消退). That means it is losing more snow and ice than it gains. Researchers say the Mendenhall glacier retreated about 800 meters between 2007 and 2021.
Mendenhall pours down from rocky land between mountains and into a lake filled with icebergs. Special signs mark the glacier’s retreat, showing where the ice once stood. Experts estimate that by 2050, people will not be able to see the Mendenhall glacier from the visitor centre that was built for it. That is already the case at some other glacier visitor centres in Alaska.
The melting glacier leads to questions for the Alaskan tourism industry. How can tourism leaders help protect the glaciers for visitors to enjoy? And should there be limits on the number of tourists to the area?
Tourism is an important part of Juneau’s economy. About 1.6 million cruise ship (游轮) passengers are expected to stop in Juneau. On especially busy days, 20,000 people arrive each day to a city that has only 30,000 full-time residents.
Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India. He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier. “The glacier is so beautiful now,” he said. But he wondered what it must have looked like 10 or 20 years ago and what it would look like in the following days.
People have many reasons to want to visit Alaska, and all the visitors help the state’s economy. But in Juneau, tourism officials are questioning whether the city and surrounding areas can deal with so many visitors each year. City leaders and major cruise lines have agreed to a daily five-ship limit for next year. But critics worry that may not do much to reduce tourist numbers because the ships themselves keep getting bigger. Some Juneau residents say they would like one day a week without ships.
28. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The Mendenhall glacier. B. The special sign.
C. The glacier’s retreat. D. The tourism industry.
29. What is Manoj Pillai’s attitude towards the future of the Mendenhall glacier?
A. Confident. B. Annoyed. C. Concerned. D. Uninterested.
30. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A. New cruise ship routes will be added in the future.
B. Alaska’s tourism has lost its appeal to tourists.
C. The local government attaches great importance to tourism safety.
D The large number of tourists has brought negative impacts.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change Creates Questions for Alaska’s Tourist Economy
B. Residents in Juneau Are Anxiously Awaiting a Decision

That’s okay. ____39____ But don’t spend time thinking about how to word your responses.
Most conversations will run their own courses. It’s okay if you can’t think of anything else to say. Simply mention something else you have to do, and that you’ll have to step away. Thank the person for their time, and let them know that you’d like to talk again some other time. ____40____

Several days ago, local News Channel reported a story between a mother and her son. The mother was a single woman who had been feeling a great deal of anger and bitterness due to her financial and psychological problems, causing her emotions to be unpredictable. Occasionally, she may not pay enough attention to her son or couldn’t respond to his requirements timely. Sometimes, she would even pour her negative emotions onto her child, which made him feel helpless. In fact, this child is a very outstanding and caring boy.
That day, the mother directed her anger towards her child again because of some small matter. Although the child did not resist, the mother still drove the child out of the house, slammed the door shut and left the child outside to reflect (反省).
It was when the mother became calm and a little regretful that she opened her door and found her child missing. Anxious and scared, she searched everywhere, but the child was nowhere to be found. Her anxiety was gradually increasing.
The worried mother thought of seeking help from the police. Quickly, she went to the police station and explained the situation to the officer on duty. The police officer explained that, as a general rule, they couldn’t file a case for a missing child within the first 24 hours. However, they could provide assistance in other ways, such as posting the child’s photo on social media platforms to expand the search area.
After expressing gratitude for the police officer’s kindness, the mother continued searching for her child. Despite trying various methods, the mother still couldn’t find the child. Unexpectedly, the child was wandering in the streets. He felt lost and alone, not knowing where to go or what to do. He felt the tears forming in his eyes but refused to let them down. He didn’t want to show weakness in front of anyone, and it made him feel even more alone. Exhausted (筋疲力尽的) and hungry, the child kept walking aimlessly until he finally came across a bench (长凳) along the street.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
It was then that a kind delivery young man noticed him and thought of the photo posted on the Internet.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 It was then that a kind delivery young man noticed him and thought of the photo posted on the Internet. He said quietly next to the boy, offering him some delicious food and water. A wave of gratefulness swept over the boy and he felt comforted by his warmth and kindness. He then asked the boy what had happened. After hearing his story, the man hugged the boy tightly and told him that everything would be okay. The delivery man convinced the boy of his mother’s love towards him and got in touch with his mother after the boy’s agreement.
Soon after, the mother arrived hurriedly. As soon as the mother saw her son, she was relieved and grateful to the kind-hearted man. She took her son in her arms, sobbing. She felt regretful and promised him that she would manage her emotions. Thanks to the helpful young man, the mother and son’s relationship grew close. The incident was a wake-up call for both the mother and the child, helping them recognize the importance of family, love and communication.

After seemingly endless waiting, news finally reached President Abraham Lincoln. The North had won at Gettysburg. The citizens of Pennsylvania created a national cemetery(公墓)for the soldiers who lay dead at Gettysburg. A ceremony was planned. Lincoln received an invitation to attend. He was not asked to give the major speech of the day. That honor was given to a New England statesman and professional speaker named Edward Everett. The president was asked instead to say “a few words”.
As the day approached, Lincoln’s wife asked him to reconsider. Their son, Tad, had fallen ill. Mary Lincoln was near crazy. On the morning of the day, Tad was so sick that he could not eat. Lincoln felt unwell himself, but he decided to go anyway.
On Thursday, November 19, for two hours, Everett held the audience spellbound with his rich voice and inspiring words. Then Lincoln rose to speak. “Four score and seven years ago,” he began in his high pitched(声调高的)voice. He spoke for barely three minutes.
As Lincoln sat down, some eyewitnesses recalled little applause(掌声). Others heard “not a word, not a cheer, not a shout”. A person taking notes asked Lincoln, “Is that all?” Embarrassed, Lincoln replied, “Yes--for the present.” A photographer in the crowd had not even had time to take a picture.
Lincoln thought his speech was a failure. Some newspapers considered it as “silly” and “boring”. But Everett correctly predicted that the Gettysburg Address would “live among the history of man”. A few days after both of them had spoken at Gettysburg, he wrote to Lincoln, saying that he wished he had come “as close to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes”. Lincoln replied, telling Everett how pleased he was that “the little I did say was not entirely a failure.”
Indeed it was not. It gave the North new hope and purpose as to why it was fighting the war. Today Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is remembered as one of the greatest speeches of all time.
24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Lincoln was asked to give a mini speech.
B. Lincoln was elected President on the victory of Gettysburg.
C. Lincoln’s speech was given to celebrate the end of the War.
D. Lincoln ordered the construction of a cemetery in Gettysburg.
25. Why does the writer mention the person taking notes?
A To show the disappointment of the audience.
B. To show the greatness of Lincoln’s speech.
C. To laugh at Lincoln for his unsuccessful speech.
D. To tell us that Lincoln was very sad about his speech.
26. What did Everett intend to express about Lincoln’s speech in the 5th paragraph?
A. Sympathy. B. Criticism.
C. Appreciation. D. Embarrassment.
27. Why did Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address become famous?
A Because it was distinctively well constructed.
B. Because it was concise and delivered in a rich voice.
C. Because Everett, a great speaker, sang high praise for it.
D. Because people got hope and a sense of purpose from it.
C
Alaska’s Mendenhall glacier (冰川) is about 20 minutes by car from Juneau, the state capital. It is one of the area’s most popular sites for tourists. But climate change has caused the ice to melt and the glacier to retreat (消退). That means it is losing more snow and ice than it gains. Researchers say the Mendenhall glacier retreated about 800 meters between 2007 and 2021.
Mendenhall pours down from rocky land between mountains and into a lake filled with icebergs. Special signs mark the glacier’s retreat, showing where the ice once stood. Experts estimate that by 2050, people will not be able to see the Mendenhall glacier from the visitor centre that was built for it. That is already the case at some other glacier visitor centres in Alaska.
The melting glacier leads to questions for the Alaskan tourism industry How can tourism leaders help protect the glaciers for visitors to enjoy? And should there be limits on the number of tourists to the area?
Tourism is an important part of Juneau’s economy. About 1.6 million cruise ship (游轮) passengers are expected to stop in Juneau. On especially busy days, 20,000 people arrive each day to a city that has only 30,000 full-time residents.
Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India. He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier. “The glacier is so beautiful now,” he said. But he wondered what it must have looked like 10 or 20 years ago and what it would look like in the following days.
People have many reasons to want to visit Alaska, and all the visitors help the state’s economy. But in Juneau, tourism officials are questioning whether the city and surrounding areas can deal with so many visitors each year. City leaders and major cruise lines have agreed to a daily five-ship limit for next year. But critics worry that may not do much to reduce tourist numbers because the ships themselves keep getting bigger. Some Juneau residents say they would like one day a week without ships.
28 What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The Mendenhall glacier. B. The special sign.
C. The glacier’s retreat. D. The tourism industry.
29. What is Manoj Pillai’s attitude towards the future of the Mendenhall glacier?
A. Confident. B. Annoyed. C. Concerned. D. Uninterested.
30. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A. New cruise ship routes will be added in the future.
B. Alaska’s tourism has lost its appeal to tourists.
C. The local government attaches great importance to tourism safety.
D. The large number of tourists has brought negative impacts.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change Creates Questions for Alaska’s Tourist Economy
B. Residents in Juneau Are Anxiously Awaiting a Decision
C. The Best Way to Visit Amazing Alaska Is by Taking a Cruise Ship
D. The Glaciers Are Disappearing, Changing the Face of Alaska
D

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。
Several days ago, local News Channel reported a story between a mother and her son. The mother was a single woman who had been feeling a great deal of anger and bitterness due to her financial and psychological problems, causing her emotions to be unpredictable. Occasionally, she may not pay enough attention to her son or couldn’t respond to his requirements timely. Sometimes, she would even pour her negative emotions onto her child, which made him feel helpless. In fact, this child is a very outstanding and caring boy.
That day, the mother directed her anger towards her child again because of some small matter. Although the child did not resist, the mother still drove the child out of the house, slammed the door shut and left the child outside to reflect (反省).
It was when the mother became calm and a little regretful that she opened her door and found her child missing. Anxious and scared, she searched everywhere, but the child was nowhere to be found. Her anxiety was gradually increasing.
The worried mother thought of seeking help from the police. Quickly, she went to the police station and explained the situation to the officer on duty. The police officer explained that, as a general rule, they couldn’t file a case for a missing child within the first 24 hours. However, they could provide assistance in other ways, such as posting the child’s photo on social media platforms to expand the search area.
After expressing gratitude for the police officer’s kindness, the mother continued searching for her child. Despite trying various methods, the mother still couldn’t find the child. Unexpectedly, the child was wandering in the streets. He felt lost and alone, not knowing where to go or what to do. He felt the tears forming in his eyes but refused to let them down. He didn’t want to show weakness in front of anyone, and it made him feel even more alone. Exhausted (筋疲力尽的) and hungry, the child kept walking aimlessly until he finally came across a bench (长凳) along the street.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
It was then that a kind delivery young man noticed him and thought of the photo posted on the Internet.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon after, the mother arrived hurriedly.
