Now, after a break we will be with Connie for the sports updates. So please stay with us.

B
A mom has been called a “genius” (天才) after sharing her doorbell hack which means she never has to shout for her kids to come downstairs again.
If you’ve got kids, you’ll know that getting them all together for dinner isn’t always the easiest task. When you shout through the house to let them know it’s time to come downstairs, and if they’re listening to music or watching TV, there’s a chance that they won’t hear you — meaning you only get more and more frustrated as your shouting gets louder and continues to be ignored.
One mom who had this very problem has come up with the perfect solution, though, and all it takes is a series of doorbells. 43-year-old Shelley Walker from Essex was sick of shouting upstairs for her three sons — Toby, nine, Jackson, seven, and Charlie, five — when dinner was on the table, so she bought three doorbells and fixed one receiver in each of their bedrooms, with the doorbells themselves fixed in the kitchen.
Now, whenever dinner is ready, Shelley simply has to press the three doorbells so that they ring in her sons’ bedrooms, and she said her kids got excited hearing the doorbells and raced downstairs in no time. Shelly said, “I was sick of shouting and being ignored then running up to get the kids down for dinner. I just thought up the idea myself and thought it would be a better way to get their attention. They are really easy to use and they don’t interfere (干扰) with each other so I can call each child independently. The sound of ‘ding-dong’ in their bedroom gets them downstairs very quickly.”
On her video, one person commented, “You, my dear, are a bloody genius. I am doing this today. I’m so fed up with shouting my kids down for their dinner.” Another added, “I’ve done this too. It works brilliantly… as long as they don’t unplug their end.”
24. What drove Shelley to invent a new way to call her children for dinner?
A. Wanting her shouting to be heard by her sons.
B. Developing a disease making her unable to shout loudly.
C. Being bored with shouting for her sons to come downstairs for dinner.
D. Intending to find a way to make her sons feel excited.
25. What does Shelley think of her new way to call her sons for dinner?
A. Useless. B. Effective. C. Impressive. D. Impractical.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Shelley was considered a considerate mom. B. Moms thought Shelly cruel.
C. Children do behave themselves at home. D. Shelley’s method is popular among parents.
27. Which of the following words can describe Shelly?
A. Creative. B. Caring. C. Courageous. D. Independent.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位妈妈因厌烦呼喊孩子下楼吃饭,想出用门铃召唤孩子的办法,且该办法受到其他家长的认可。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“43-year-old Shelley Walker from Essex was sick of shouting upstairs for her three sons — Toby, nine, Jackson, seven, and Charlie, five — when dinner was on the table(来自埃塞克斯郡的43岁的谢利·沃克厌倦了在晚餐上桌时朝楼上呼喊她的三个儿子——9岁的托比、7岁的杰克逊和5岁的查理)”可知,谢利厌烦呼喊儿子下楼吃饭,所以才发明了新方法。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Now, whenever dinner is ready, Shelley simply has to press the three doorbells so that they ring in her sons’ bedrooms, and she said her kids got excited hearing the doorbells and raced downstairs in no time.(现在,每当晚餐准备好了,谢利只需按下三个门铃,让它们在儿子们的卧室里响起,她说她的孩子们听到门铃很兴奋,马上就跑下楼了)”和“The sound of ‘ding dong’ in their bedroom gets them downstairs very quickly.(他们卧室里‘叮咚’的声音让他们很快就下楼了)”可知,谢利认为这个新方法能快速让孩子们下楼,是有效的。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“On her video, one person commented, ‘You, my dear, are a bloody genius. I am doing this today. I’m so fed up with shouting my kids down for their dinner.’ Another added, ‘I’ve done this too. It works brilliantly… as long as they don’t unplug their end.’(在她的视频中,一个人评论道:‘亲爱的,你真是个天才。我今天就这么做。我受够了喊孩子们下楼吃饭。’另一个人补充道:‘我也这么做了。效果非常好……只要他们不拔掉门铃。’)”可知,很多家长认可并打算采用谢利的方法,由此可推断出谢利的方法在家长中很受欢迎。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“One mom who had this very problem has come up with the perfect solution, though, and all it takes is a series of doorbells.(不过,一位有这个问题的妈妈想出了一个完美的解决方案,只需要一系列门铃)”以及第四段中“I just thought up the idea myself(这个主意是我自己想出来的)”可知,谢利自己想出用门铃召唤孩子下楼吃饭的办法,说明她很有创造力。故选A项。
C
Imagine a future where we can feast on meat, but no animals have been killed in the process. Only 16% of the UK population enjoy a meat-free diet, according to statistics website Finder.com. It seems there is a call for lab-grown meat as a substitute to traditional meat. But, despite years of expectation, this futuristic food is still not on our plates. Why?
One of the biggest reasons is cost. The first ever lab-grown hamburger was introduced in 2013 by Dutch scientist Mark Post. It was created from beef cells and cost more than $300,000. Lab-grown meat production goes from thousands to hundreds of thousands of US dollars per ounce — that’s the weight of about two chicken nuggets (鸡块). This expense is partly due to the cost of raw materials that ‘feed’ the cells — a combination of sugar, proteins and other nutrients is added to the cells.
In 2023, US-based company Upside Foods received authority from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to start selling lab-grown meat. In order to do this, the company has had to take on significant economic losses so that they can price it fairly compared to traditional meat. An investor in Upside Food, Lisa Feria, told Forbes magazine “Profitability is very much years off because the biggest challenge ahead of them is: can we make it at millions of tons a year and finally slightly compete with traditional meat?”
There are also environmental costs. A 2023 study by the University of California found that the process of producing lab-grown meat could have a four to 25 times higher impact on global warming than beef, which is generally the highest-polluting meat. This is mostly because of the emissions needed to create ‘feed’.
So, it seems unlikely that we’ll be eating lab-grown meat just yet, and we possibly never will. After all, no company would take a risk of bankrupt to create a product that is of higher cost than profit as well as not environment-friendly.
28. What can be known from the first paragraph?
A. Most of the British eat a diet without meat.
B. Most of the British eat a diet with meat.
C. Lab-grown meat has been served in the UK.
D. Lab-grown meat will serve as a replacement for traditional meat.
29. Why does the author mention the first ever lab-grown hamburger in paragraph 2?
A. To make a contrast. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To place an emphasis. D. To give an example.
30. What is Lisa’s attitude towards the future of lab-grown meat?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Uncertain.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Lab-grown meat and the reasons for its unpopularity.
B. The choice of traditional meat or lab-grown meat.
C. The problems of the diets in the UK.
D. A rising trend of choosing lab-grown meat.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了实验室培育的肉,以及它不受欢迎的原因,包括成本高和对环境不友好等问题。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Only 16% of the UK population enjoy a meat-free diet, according to statistics website Finder.com. It seems there is a call for lab-grown meat as a substitute to traditional meat. But, despite years of expectation, this futuristic food is still not on our plates(根据统计网站Finder.com的数据,英国只有16%的人口喜欢无肉饮食。似乎有人呼吁用实验室培育的肉来替代传统肉类。但是,尽管期待了多年,这种未来主义的食物仍然没有出现在我们的餐桌上)”可知,英国只有16%的人是无肉饮食,那么大部分人是吃肉的,故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One of the biggest reasons is cost. The first ever lab-grown hamburger was introduced in 2013 by Dutch scientist Mark Post. It was created from beef cells and cost more than $300,000. Lab-grown meat production goes from thousands to hundreds of thousands of US dollars per ounce — that’s the weight of about two chicken nuggets (鸡块).(其中一个最大的原因是成本。2013年,荷兰科学家马克・波斯特推出了世界上第一个实验室培育的汉堡。它是由牛肉细胞制成的,成本超过30万美元。实验室培育的肉每盎司的生产成本从几千美元到几十万美元不等 —— 一盎司大约是两块鸡块的重量)”可推知,作者提到第一个实验室培育的汉堡,是为了举例说明实验室培育的肉成本很高,以此来支持前面提到的“成本是最大原因之一”这一观点。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“An investor in Upside Food, Lisa Feria, told Forbes magazine ‘Profitability is very much years off because the biggest challenge ahead of them is: can we make it at millions of tons a year and finally slightly compete with traditional meat?’(Upside Food的投资者丽莎・费里亚告诉《福布斯》杂志:“要实现盈利还需要很多年,因为他们面临的最大挑战是:我们能否每年生产数百万吨,最终与传统肉类稍有竞争力?”)”可知,丽莎认为要实现盈利还需要很多年,并且对于能否达到与传统肉竞争的产量存在疑问。由此推知,她对实验室培育的肉的未来持不确定的态度。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It seems there is a call for lab-grown meat as a substitute to traditional meat. But, despite years of expectation, this futuristic food is still not on our plates. Why?(似乎有人呼吁用实验室培育的肉类来替代传统肉类。但是,尽管多年来一直备受期待,这种未来主义的食物仍然没有出现在我们的餐桌上。这是为什么呢?)”、第二段“One of the biggest reasons is cost. (其中一个最大的原因是成本)”、第四段“A 2023 study by the University of California found that the process of producing lab-grown meat could have a four to 25 times higher impact on global warming than beef, which is generally the highest-polluting meat.(加利福尼亚大学2023年的一项研究发现,与普遍污染最严重的牛肉相比,实验室培育肉的生产过程可能导致全球变暖的影响高出4至25倍)”以及最后一段“So, it seems unlikely that we’ll be eating lab-grown meat just yet, and we possibly never will. After all, no company would take a risk of bankrupt to create a product that is of higher cost than profit as well as not environment-friendly(因此,我们似乎不太可能很快就会吃到实验室培育的肉,而且可能永远也不会。毕竟,没有一家公司会冒险破产去生产一种成本高于利润且不环保的产品)”可知,文章主要是在介绍实验室培育的肉以及它不受欢迎的原因。故选A项。
D
Elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, are magnificent creatures and tourists rush to African countries to see them. Due to very successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, elephant numbers went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021.
While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts of the park. The human population has also grown and this means that it affects elephants’ feeding and migration areas, which has led to conflicts (冲突) between humans and elephants, sometimes resulting in elephant deaths.
Now a new solution using honeybees has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. This seemingly unlikely solution is part of a long-running project from the Save the Elephants organization. The sound of African honeybees prevents elephants. Now yellow-painted beehive fences (蜂巢围栏) protect some of the local areas. The project is supporting 40 farmers whose crops are protected by 15 hives. Each of the hives is strung on a wire a few meters off the ground. This protects them from insects and allows them to shake if they are disturbed by an elephant, which starts the bees making sounds. This frightens the elephant away.
A nine-year study tracked 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the high growing seasons — November to January from 2014 to 2020 — 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were prevented. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75%, elephants were still prevented 76% of the time.
Save the Elephants is now promoting beehive fences in 15 countries in Africa and Asia. But besides preventing elephants, the beehive fences can provide other benefits to communities. Bees provide pollination services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to increase their income.
While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.
32. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. The elephants are the most attractive creatures to tourists in Kenya.
B The protection efforts of elephants in Kenya are in vain.
C. The elephant population growth in Kenya mixes happiness with sadness.
D. The increasing migration areas in Kenya have caused many elephants’ deaths.
33. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The bees making sounds. B. The insects making sounds.
C. The beehives shaking. D. The painted-yellow fence.
34. Why does the author mention the nine-year study in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the importance of protecting elephants.
B. To show the popularity of beehive fences.
C. To prove the effectiveness of the new solution.
D. To show the effect of climate change on the number of bees.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Growth of African Elephant Population B. The Importance of Saving African Elephants
C. Effect of Climate Change on Elephant Habitat D. Pioneering Solution to Elephant-Human Conflict
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了非洲大象数量增多带来人象冲突,而利用蜂巢围栏驱象的新解决方案不仅有效,还能为社区带来其他益处。
32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Due to very successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, elephant numbers went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021.(由于非常成功的保护工作,肯尼亚等国家的非洲象数量正在增加。在该国著名的察沃国家公园,2021年大象数量从约6000头增加到近15000头)”可知,大象数量增长是令人高兴的事;结合第二段“While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts of the park. The human population has also grown and this means that it affects elephants’ feeding and migration areas, which has led to conflicts (冲突) between humans and elephants, sometimes resulting in elephant deaths.(虽然这对保护主义者来说是个好消息,但住在公园两部分之间的农民并不这么认为。人口也在增长,这意味着它影响了大象的觅食和迁徙区域,导致了人类和大象之间的冲突,有时还会导致大象死亡)”可知,大象数量增长也带来了人象冲突等令人担忧的问题。由此可推断出,肯尼亚大象数量的增长是喜忧参半的。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“This protects them from insects and allows them to shake if they are disturbed by an elephant, which starts the bees making sounds. This frightens the elephant away.(这可以保护它们免受昆虫侵害,如果它们被大象惊扰,就会晃动,这会让蜜蜂发出声音。这会把大象吓跑)”可知,是蜜蜂发出的声音把大象吓跑了,所以指示代词“this”指的是前文中“the bees making sounds”,即“蜜蜂发出声音”。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A nine year study tracked 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the high growing seasons — November to January from 2014 to 2020 — 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were prevented. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75%, elephants were still prevented 76% of the time.(一项为期九年的研究跟踪了公园附近两个村庄中26个由蜂巢围栏保护的农场。在2014年至2020年的生长旺季——11月至1月——有3027头大象接近围栏,大多数都被挡住了。在2017年的干旱期间,蜂巢中的蜜蜂数量减少了75%,但大象仍有76%的时间被挡住)”可知,作者提到的这项九年研究数据表明了蜂巢围栏在阻止大象方面的有效性,也就是证明了新解决方案的有效性。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段中“Now a new solution using honeybees has been found to keep the elephants away from farms.(现在,人们发现了一种利用蜜蜂的新解决方案,可以让大象远离农场)”和最后一段“While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.(虽然这个解决方案并不完美,还会受到气候变化和干旱的负面影响,但它确实表明大象和人类可以在没有冲突的情况下共享土地)”可知,本文主要介绍了一种解决人象冲突的创新方案。故D项“Pioneering Solution to Elephant Human Conflict(解决人象冲突的开创性解决方案)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选D项。

Over three and a half hours each day spent fixing my eyes on my phone screen? And of that time, almost two hours were spent using social networking? I kept telling myself that couldn’t be right. Yet, the numbers were considerable. What shocked me the most was how it didn’t seem like I was spending that much time on my phone. Perhaps some of you reading this also feel the same? If so, it’s OK. ____36____ And it will in turn hopefully enable you to be more focused when studying!
Set limits
Are you someone who manages to spend hours on Douyin or Little Red Book before starting any of your homework? Or perhaps you’re slightly addicted to the games on your phone? ____37____ When you only have one minute left for the phone, prepare to log out of all social media gaming apps.
____38____
There is a choice to schedule “Downtime” away from your phone. During this time, only limited apps (ones that you choose to allow) and phone calls will be available. As a student, you can try scheduling this for the time that you complete your homework after school. This will be an effective way to get rid of those distracting (使注意力分散的) apps. ____39____
Turn off notifications
____40____ They will check whenever a new notification pops up on their screen! When this is turned on, all calls and notifications are silenced; your phone won’t vibrate, and your screen won’t light up when your phone is locked. Another choice you could try is to simply put your phone on Airplane Mode. Again, this will get rid of any notifications that are often so distracting.

B. Schedule downtime
C. Prevent yourself from being addicted to games.

【36题详解】
上文“And of that time, almost two hours were spent using social networking? I kept telling myself that couldn’t be right. Yet, the numbers were considerable. What shocked me the most was how it didn’t seem like I was spending that much time on my phone. Perhaps some of you reading this also feel the same? If so, it’s OK. (在那段时间里,近两个小时都花在了使用社交网络上?我一直告诉自己这不可能是真的。然而,数据相当可观。最让我震惊的是,我似乎并没有在手机上花那么多时间。也许读到这篇文章的你们中的一些人也有同样的感觉?如果是这样,没关系)”指出作者对自己在手机屏幕上花费的大量时间感到惊讶,且意识到很多人可能也有同样感受。G选项“The good news is that you can learn how to cut down on your phone screen time.(好消息是你可以学习如何减少在手机屏幕上花费的时间)”承接上文这种担忧,提出解决的办法,引出下文介绍减少使用手机时间的具体方法。故选G项。
【37题详解】
上文“Are you someone who manages to spend hours on Douyin or Little Red Book before starting any of your homework? Or perhaps you’re slightly addicted to the games on your phone?(你是不是那种在开始做作业前会在抖音或小红书上花好几个小时的人?或者你是不是有点沉迷于手机上的游戏?)”指出一些人在使用手机娱乐方面花费时间过长的问题。F选项“If so, limit yourself to one hour (or even less) of these activities a day.(如果是这样,限制自己每天进行这些活动的时间为一小时(甚至更少))”针对上文提到的情况给出了限制使用时间的建议,与上文逻辑紧密。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“There is a choice to schedule ‘Downtime’ away from your phone.(有一种选择是安排远离手机的‘休息时间’)”可知,该段主要围绕安排远离手机的休息时间展开。B选项“Schedule downtime(安排休息时间)”作为段落小标题,准确概括了段落内容。故选B项。
【39题详解】
上文“As a student, you can try scheduling this for the time that you complete your homework after school. This will be an effective way to get rid of those distracting (使注意力分散的) apps.(作为一名学生,你可以尝试在放学后完成作业的时间安排这段时间。这将是摆脱那些分散注意力的应用程序的有效方法)”介绍了安排“休息时间”远离手机是摆脱分散注意力应用程序的有效方法。E选项“Hopefully, this will help you much more focus on your homework!(希望这将帮助你更加专注于你的家庭作业!)”说明了这样做的好处,即能让学生更专注于作业,与上文逻辑相符。故选E项。
【40题详解】
小标题“Turn off notifications(关闭通知)”建议关闭通知,D选项“This choice is for those who are easily distracted.(这个选择是针对那些容易分心的人)”指出这一方法是针对容易被通知分心的人,引出下文“They will check whenever a new notification pops up on their screen!(每当屏幕上弹出新通知时,他们都会进行检查!)”对这类人的介绍,上下文逻辑连贯。故选D项。

57. which##that
58. held 59. varieties

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了位于长江三角洲南部的太湖以及太湖上以樱花闻名的鼋头渚半岛,包括其名字的由来、樱花的种植历史和现状等。
【56题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:在长江以北的众多湖泊中,太湖是最大的。根据“Among many lakes on the north of the Yangtze River”可知,这里是在众多湖泊中进行比较,且空前有定冠词the,所以要用形容词的最高级形式,large的最高级是largest,故填largest。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它是以一块从湖中突起的巨石命名的,这块石头看起来就像一只昂首挺胸的乌龟。本句为包含定语从句的复合句,先行词是a giant stone,指物,在从句中作主语,所以可以用关系代词which或that引导定语从句,故填which/that。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同第2题。此处是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”的复合结构,head与hold之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,即“头被抬起”,所以要用过去分词作宾语补足语,hold的过去分词是held,故填held。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:鼋头渚种植了3万多棵樱花树和100多个品种。空白处在句子中作主语,使用名词,根据空前的“more than 100”可知,此处要用名词的复数形式,variety的复数是varieties,故填varieties。
【60题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:鼋头渚种植樱花的历史可以追溯到20世纪30年代。“date back to”是固定短语,意为“追溯到,始于”,故填to。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:最初,樱花只种植在长春桥的两侧。此处要用副词作状语,修饰整个句子,original的副词形式是originally,位于句首,首字母要大写,故填Originally。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:1988年3月,400多名日本友人来到鼋头渚,与无锡市民一起种植了1500棵樱花树。“came to Yuantouzhu(来到鼋头渚)”和“planted 1,500 cherry trees with the citizens of Wuxi(与无锡市民一起种植了1500棵樱花树)”是并列顺承关系,所以要用连词and连接,故填and。
【63题详解】
考查时态。句意:从那以后,一万多名日本友人回来种植了更多的樱花树。根据“Since then”可知本句表示从过去开始持续到现在的动作或状态,谓语动词要用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”,主语“more than 10,000 Japanese friends”是复数,助动词用have,return的过去分词是returned,故填have returned。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:鼋头渚因此成为了中国的一个赏樱胜地,每年都吸引着无数游客前来欣赏这里美丽的樱花。此处表示“一个赏樱胜地”,是泛指,且cherry是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以要用不定冠词a,故填a。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同第9题。空白处在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,使用现在分词,故填attracting。

A Birthday Surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed.
“I’m going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked,
“We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat a s he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let off the secret until Papa’s birthday.
Then came the day and we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes when we showed him the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for him was rewarding.

A mom has been called a “genius” (天才) after sharing her doorbell hack which means she never has to shout for her kids to come downstairs again.
If you’ve got kids, you’ll know that getting them all together for dinner isn’t always the easiest task. When you shout through the house to let them know it’s time to come downstairs, and if they’re listening to music or watching TV, there’s a chance that they won’t hear you — meaning you only get more and more frustrated as your shouting gets louder and continues to be ignored.
One mom who had this very problem has come up with the perfect solution, though, and all it takes is a series of doorbells. 43-year-old Shelley Walker from Essex was sick of shouting upstairs for her three sons — Toby, nine, Jackson, seven, and Charlie, five — when dinner was on the table, so she bought three doorbells and fixed one receiver in each of their bedrooms, with the doorbells themselves fixed in the kitchen.
Now, whenever dinner is ready, Shelley simply has to press the three doorbells so that they ring in her sons’ bedrooms, and she said her kids got excited hearing the doorbells and raced downstairs in no time. Shelly said, “I was sick of shouting and being ignored then running up to get the kids down for dinner. I just thought up the idea myself and thought it would be a better way to get their attention. They are really easy to use and they don’t interfere (干扰) with each other so I can call each child independently. The sound of ‘ding-dong’ in their bedroom gets them downstairs very quickly.”
On her video, one person commented, “You, my dear, are a bloody genius. I am doing this today. I’m so fed up with shouting my kids down for their dinner.” Another added, “I’ve done this too. It works brilliantly… as long as they don’t unplug their end.”
24. What drove Shelley to invent a new way to call her children for dinner?
A. Wanting her shouting to be heard by her sons.
B Developing a disease making her unable to shout loudly.
C. Being bored with shouting for her sons to come downstairs for dinner.
D. Intending to find a way to make her sons feel excited.
25. What does Shelley think of her new way to call her sons for dinner?
A. Useless. B. Effective. C. Impressive. D. Impractical.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Shelley was considered a considerate mom. B. Moms thought Shelly cruel.
C. Children do behave themselves at home. D. Shelley’s method is popular among parents.
27. Which of the following words can describe Shelly?
A. Creative. B. Caring. C. Courageous. D. Independent.
C
Imagine a future where we can feast on meat, but no animals have been killed in the process. Only 16% of the UK population enjoy a meat-free diet, according to statistics website Finder.com. It seems there is a call for lab-grown meat as a substitute to traditional meat. But, despite years of expectation, this futuristic food is still not on our plates. Why?
One of the biggest reasons is cost. The first ever lab-grown hamburger was introduced in 2013 by Dutch scientist Mark Post. It was created from beef cells and cost more than $300,000. Lab-grown meat production goes from thousands to hundreds of thousands of US dollars per ounce — that’s the weight of about two chicken nuggets (鸡块). This expense is partly due to the cost of raw materials that ‘feed’ the cells — a combination of sugar, proteins and other nutrients is added to the cells.
In 2023, US-based company Upside Foods received authority from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to start selling lab-grown meat. In order to do this, the company has had to take on significant economic losses so that they can price it fairly compared to traditional meat. An investor in Upside Food, Lisa Feria, told Forbes magazine “Profitability is very much years off because the biggest challenge ahead of them is: can we make it at millions of tons a year and finally slightly compete with traditional meat?”
There are also environmental costs. A 2023 study by the University of California found that the process of producing lab-grown meat could have a four to 25 times higher impact on global warming than beef which is generally the highest-polluting meat. This is mostly because of the emissions needed to create ‘feed’.
So, it seems unlikely that we’ll be eating lab-grown meat just yet, and we possibly never will. After all, no company would take a risk of bankrupt to create a product that is of higher cost than profit as well as not environment-friendly.
28. What can be known from the first paragraph?
A. Most of the British eat a diet without meat.
B. Most of the British eat a diet with meat.
C. Lab-grown meat has been served in the UK.
D. Lab-grown meat will serve as a replacement for traditional meat.
29. Why does the author mention the first ever lab-grown hamburger in paragraph 2?
A. To make a contrast. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To place an emphasis. D. To give an example.
30. What is Lisa’s attitude towards the future of lab-grown meat?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Uncertain.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Lab-grown meat and the reasons for its unpopularity.
B. The choice of traditional meat or lab-grown meat.
C. The problems of the diets in the UK.
D. A rising trend of choosing lab-grown meat.
D
Elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, are magnificent creatures and tourists rush to African countries to see them. Due to very successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, elephant numbers went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021.
While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts of the park. The human population has also grown and this means that it affects elephants’ feeding and migration areas, which has led to conflicts (冲突) between humans and elephants, sometimes resulting in elephant deaths.
Now a new solution using honeybees has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. This seemingly unlikely solution is part of a long-running project from the Save the Elephants organization. The sound of African honeybees prevents elephants. Now yellow-painted beehive fences (蜂巢围栏) protect some of the local areas. The project is supporting 40 farmers whose crops are protected by 15 hives. Each of the hives is strung on a wire a few meters off the ground. This protects them from insects and allows them to shake if they are disturbed by an elephant, which starts the bees making sounds. This frightens the elephant away.
A nine-year study tracked 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the high growing seasons — November to January from 2014 to 2020 — 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were prevented. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75%, elephants were still prevented 76% of the time.
Save the Elephants is now promoting beehive fences in 15 countries in Africa and Asia. But besides preventing elephants, the beehive fences can provide other benefits to communities. Bees provide pollination services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to increase their income.
While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.
32. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. The elephants are the most attractive creatures to tourists in Kenya.
B. The protection efforts of elephants in Kenya are in vain.
C. The elephant population growth in Kenya mixes happiness with sadness.
D. The increasing migration areas in Kenya have caused many elephants’ deaths.
33. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The bees making sounds. B. The insects making sounds.
C. The beehives shaking. D. The painted-yellow fence.
34. Why does the author mention the nine-year study in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the importance of protecting elephants.
B. To show the popularity of beehive fences.
C. To prove the effectiveness of the new solution.
D. To show the effect of climate change on the number of bees.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Growth of African Elephant Population B. The Importance of Saving African Elephants
C. Effect of Climate Change on Elephant Habitat D. Pioneering Solution to Elephant-Human Conflict

A Birthday Surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed.
“I’m going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked,
“We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.
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。
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan.
