Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project. Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age. The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck (粘) on the wall. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter. Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end. McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here?’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’” 4. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities? A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the knowledge of novel writing. C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues. 5. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean? A. Changing the aging process. B. Tasting some overseas food. C. Decorating the communities. D. Testing out various methods. 6. Which statement might Carpenter agree with? A. Seventy is the new twenty. B. A good start is half the battle. C. Never teach old dogs new tricks. D. Passion serves as a driving force. 7. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Carpenter’s Dream of Helping Poor People B EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People C. McElroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist D. Community Is the Source of Strength 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非营利组织EngAGE通过在老年社区提供各种免费项目的方式来改变老年人的生活，帮助老年人重焕活力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. (非营利组织EngAGE在许多方面使她的生活方式成为可能，该组织通过在其老年社区提供各种免费的现场节目，包括小说写作、表演戏剧、广播讲故事和艺术表演，使衰老过程恢复生机。)”可知，老人可以在这里学习小说写作、表演戏剧、广播讲故事和艺术表演，由此可知，老年人在EngAGE社区可以学习小说写作知识。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线短语下句“And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything. (我们继续这样做，几乎什么都试过。)”可知，为了实现目标，他们几乎什么都试过，由此可知，画线短语“throwing spaghetti against the wall”指“测试各种方法”。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. (在卡彭特看来，退休就像上大学，是一个新的阶段，你正试图弄清楚下一步该做什么。这可以是一个起点，有空闲时间尝试不同的东西或重温旧爱。)”可知，在卡彭特看来，退休是一个新的阶段，可以像大学生一样尝试新东西，“Seventy is the new twenty.”意为“七十岁就是二十岁”，可以表达老人也是年轻人这个观点。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段关键句“McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. (McElroy总结道：“EngAGE是一个为老年人提供无尽机会的地方。)”可知，本文主要介绍了非营利组织EngAGE通过在老年社区提供各种免费项目的方式来改变老年人的生活，让老人有更多机会，“EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People”意为“EngAGE：老年人的机会之地”，能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。 C Having retired from the job at the brewery (啤酒厂), Harold Fry is leading a simple life with his wife Maureen when an unexpected mail arrives. The sender is a former woman colleague Harold hasn’t heard about for twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice (临终关怀医院) and is writing to say goodbye. Harold immediately writes a reply and walks eagerly to the nearest mailbox to send it. However, there is something inside him that makes him give up the thought of posting and despite Maureen’s disagreement, he starts to walk to the faraway Berwick to meet Queenie in person, lasting 87 days. I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. This book was a part of her reading list at her friend’s suggestion, so I decided to buy it in the bookstore during this summer. And undoubtedly I made the right choice! The book has been divided into several chapters and it is more of a collection of short stories. In each chapter, Harold comes across different people, from a garage girl to a manager in the café, each telling a story and influencing Harold in some way. As chapters progress, you get to see a change in Harold. When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages (使参与) himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. I felt this is a reminder for all of us to have a moment of our own during our busy schedule. For a first novel, Joyce has written an incredible story. From the title of the book to the characters, everything is well organized. The story has the energy of an adventure and at the same time, it’s emotionally inspiring. I don’t think the adapted film is better than the paper book. It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it. 8. What is the text? A. A book review. B. A moving story. C. A travel guide. D. A diary. 9. How did the author first hear of the book? A. From a bookshop owner. B. From a book. C. From a friend’s recommendation. D. From an author’s interview. 10. Which part of the book does the author most appreciate? A. Harold’s work experience. B. Harold’s experiences in fields. C. Harold’s reflection on past life. D. The challenges Harold faces along the way. 11. How does the author suggest truly appreciating the book? A. By discussing it with others. B. By watching a film adaptation. C. By reading to feel the characters’ lives. D. By relating it to one’s own life experiences. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了作者对The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry这本书的介绍和评价。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. (我第一次听说The Unlikely Pilgrimage这本书是在看作家桑塔·蒙蒂菲奥里的采访时。)”及第四段内容可知，本文主要围绕作者对The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry这本书的介绍和评价展开，是一篇书评。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. (我第一次听说The Unlikely Pilgrimage这本书是在看作家桑塔·蒙蒂菲奥里采访时。)”可知，作者是通过观看一位作家的访谈才第一次听说这本书的。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第一、二句“When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. (当Harold独自一人长途跋涉穿过乡村时，他吃野莓，有时在田野里露营，但我最喜欢的是他经常沉浸在他的过去中。他回顾了他的一生，他的父亲、妻子、儿子和Queenie。)”可知，作者最欣赏的部分是Harold对过去生活的回忆。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it. (在这本书中，你不是通过讨论，而是通过阅读来感受人物和他们的生活。)”可知，作者建议大家通过阅读来感受书中人物及其生活，从而真正欣赏这部作品。故选C。 D A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School, and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放). More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items — burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels. Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to. the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting,” says Wolfson. While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is. “An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them,” Wolfson says. “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.” 12. What’s the aim of the new study? A. To encourage sustainable food choices in fast food restaurants. B. To discover the impact of climate labels on fast food choices. C. To find out the connection between red meat and health problems. D. To decide the best method for labeling food products in general. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The process of the study. B. The results of the study. C. The importance of the study. D. The influence of the study. 14. What potential effect could climate labels cause? A. They may cause confusion among consumers. B. They could make a food item seem healthier than it is. C. They might result in people consuming more red meat. D. They may lead to an increase in vegetarian choices. 15. What is Wolfson’s attitude towards climate impact labels on food? A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Cautious. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候影响标签在快餐菜单上的使用对消费者食品选择的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items.(一项新的研究发现，在快餐菜单上添加气候影响标签会影响参与者的食物选择，使他们更倾向于选择对气候更加友好的食品)”可知，这项研究的目的是探讨气候标签对快餐选择的影响。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items — burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels.(超过5000名参与者被展示了一份样本菜单，并被要求选择一个晚餐项目。其中一组参与者收到了一份非红肉项目(如鸡肉三明治)标有“低气候影响”标签的菜单。另一组参与者收到了一份红肉项目——汉堡标有“高气候影响”标签的菜单。第三组作为对照组，收到了没有气候影响标签的菜单)”可知，本段主要讲述了研究的过程。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is.(同时，气候标签可能会产生一个不希望的副作用，即让某些选择看起来比实际更健康)” 可知，气候标签可能会使某些食品看起来比实际更健康。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中““These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting,” says Wolfson.(“这些结果表明，菜单标签，特别是警告某个项目具有高气候影响的标签，可以成为在快餐环境中鼓励更可持续食物选择的有效策略，”Wolfson说)”最后一段““An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them,” Wolfson says. “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.”(“不恰当的健康光环加诸于不健康的菜单项目可能会鼓励人们过量食用它们，”Wolfson说。“因此，我们必须寻找既能促进更可持续又能促进健康选择的标签策略。”)”可知，Wolfson既看到了其积极的一面，也指出了潜在的负面影响，对食品气候影响标签的态度是客观的。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Language Learner Habits to Avoid Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don’t and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid. Always being distracted (注意力分散的). Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of great importance in learning. ___16___ Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can. Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. ___17___ You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below! ___18___ We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist (坚持) will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness. Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.” ___19___ And often, it comes after failing time and time again. If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to think more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices. ___20___ A. Giving in to (屈服于) laziness. B. Learning to get rid of laziness. C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error (反复试验). D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction. E. Success never comes from not trying. F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts. G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是应该避免的语言学习习惯。 【16题详解】 根据段落主题句“Always being distracted (注意力分散的).(总是分心。)”可知，该段的主要内容与“分心”有关。空处上一句“Presence is of great importance in learning.(专心对学习很重要。)”介绍“不分心”对学习的重要性，空处下一句“Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.(学习无法弥补专注度的缺失——任何事物都无法弥补。)”强调没有什么可以弥补注意力的分散。因此设空处应该同样介绍注意力的重要性。分析选项内容可知，G项“Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.(没有它，你就无法注意到那些能帮助你进步的事情。)”说明了没有注意力会有什么后果，强调其重要性，符合语境；G项中的“that”指代上文中的“Presence”。故选G。 【17题详解】 由主旨句“Only talking the talk.(只是说说而已。)”可知，本段主要介绍“只说不做”这一不好的语言学习习惯。空前内容“There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through.(如果你不坚持到底，制定计划或谈论你要做什么就没有什么意义了。)”指出只有计划没有行动是没意义的，空后“You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!(你需要言行一致。如果你只是说说而已，也许这与下面提到的其他习惯之一有关！)”强调了行动的重要性。F项“Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.(行动才会产生结果，而不仅仅是靠言语或想法。)”强调了行动的重要性，承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 空处为段落主旨句，应与其他段落的主旨句在形式上保持一致，同时在内容上应概括介绍一种不好的语言学习习惯。根据下文“We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us.(如果我们做的事情不能激励我们，我们都会变得懒惰。)”可知，本段主要介绍“懒惰”相关的内容。因此A项“Giving in to (屈服于) laziness.(屈服于懒惰。)”说明了我们会屈服于懒惰，概括了本段主旨，可作为主旨句。故选A。 【19题详解】 空前““The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.”(托马斯·爱迪生曾经说过：“成功最可靠的方法就是再试一次。”)”说明了成功在于尝试，E项“Success never comes from not trying.(不尝试就永远不会成功)”可以承接上文；上文“succeed”和选项中“Success”是同根词复现。同时，E项中的“Success ... never comes”与下文的“it comes”是对比的逻辑关系，因此E选项承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 空处上一句“If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to think more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices.(如果你正在做这些，我的建议是更仔细地思考，看看你是否可以摆脱这些做法。)”鼓励人们要摆脱上文中提到的不良习惯，空格处应该说这么做的好处，D项“Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.(一旦你这样做了，你就会朝着更好的方向前进。)”承接上文内容，说明了如果你摆脱上文的不好的习惯的好处，do指代上文的“to think more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices”，因此符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One cold morning in early 2022, Lauren Passell was on her way to work.

She also helped her fill out the intake paperwork, and even took Passell to the bathroom. Each time, Passell tried to ___32___ Evans to leave, to get to work. And each time, Evans refused.

Although my parents were not wealthy, they always tried to turn special occasions into beautiful memories with each other. I was about to leave for school when my mother stopped me. “Wait a minute! We have something special for you!” my mother announced and offered me a shoebox. My eyebrows raised in surprise. This gift was surprising because the box looked like one of my favourite brands. When I lifted the lid, I screamed in delight. “Happy birthday, baby!” my mom said as I grabbed the popular basketball shoes and tried them on.“I got them from Mr. Byrne’s thrift shop (旧货店), but they look pretty new, right?” “I don’t care where they came from, Mom. They are amazing! Thank you so much!”I held them fondly. “I can’t wait to show them off at school!” Of course, I received lots of praise at school. Suddenly, Brandon, one of my classmates, shouted, “Look! There’s something written here!” I looked carefully and saw the words “To my dearest boy…” on a sole (鞋底). “Your mom probably wrote them,” Brandon stated. I shook my head. “My mom’s handwriting is not like this. It must be from the old owner.” I wondered about the words the rest of the day. Someone had really loved my sneakers, and maybe these shoes held much meaning to someone else. After school, I walked to Mr. Byrne’s store and asked around. The older man said, “Oh, they were brought in by a kid named Samuel. He lives in a red house nearby. Mrs. Gherkins’ son, I believe.” “Do you know why he sold them?” “Most people bring stuff here because they need money,” Mr. Byrne stated. I walked out of the store, thinking about how sad the boy probably was. I wanted to know what happened, so I looked around that street and soon spotted the red house. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I returned home barefoot (赤脚的) and my parents were surprised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door. Out came a kid, calling himself Samuel. After greeting, I came straight to the point, asking why the shoes went to the thrift shop. From Samuel’s hesitant words, I knew the fact that his family needed money badly because of his father’s sudden illness. Thus, Samuel had to give up the precious birthday gift. Moved by what he said, I took off the shoes and handed them to Samuel without hesitation, wishing his family all the best. Tears in eyes, Samuel thanked me again and again. Paragraph 2: I returned home barefoot and my parents were shocked. Before they could say anything, the whole story came pouring out. “The amazing shoes have been back to the owner, Samuel! There’s special meaning to him!” I asked my parents to forgive me for my immediate action without referring to their opinions. Instead of scolding (训斥) me, my parents went over and hugged me tightly, praising me for what I had done. Later on, I got another special pair of shoes for my birthday. Such a “small” but beautiful memory inspired me to be a better person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在自己的生日收到了一双很喜欢的篮球鞋，但在学校发现鞋子上有前任主人的留言后，决定追寻鞋子的主人。作者得知前任主人是因为家庭困难而卖掉了这份珍贵的生日礼物。出于同情和善良，作者决定将鞋子归还给原主人，并得到了父母的理解和支持。这个经历让作者学会了关爱他人，并成为了一个更好的人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我走到前面的台阶上，敲了敲门。”可知，第一段可描写作者亲自上门询问Samuel卖出鞋子的理由并且归还鞋子。 ②由第二段首句内容“我光着脚回到家，父母都惊呆了。”可知，第二段可描写作者赤着脚回家，父母惊呆了，作者向父母讲述关于鞋子所发生的一切，作者决定将鞋子归还给原主人，并得到了父母的理解和支持。 2.续写线索： 作者归还鞋子——Samuel解释出售鞋子的理由——Samuel表达感谢——作者回到家中将事情讲述给父母——父母理解并支持作者的决定——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 放弃：give up/abandon ②. 责备：scold/blame ③. 拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ① 感动：moved/touched ②. 感谢：thank/show his appreciation/show his gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project. Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age. The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck (粘) on the wall. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter. Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end. McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here?’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’” 4. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities? A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the knowledge of novel writing. C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues. 5. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean? A. Changing the aging process. B. Tasting some overseas food. C. Decorating the communities. D. Testing out various methods. 6. Which statement might Carpenter agree with? A. Seventy is the new twenty. B. A good start is half the battle. C. Never teach old dogs new tricks. D. Passion serves as a driving force. 7. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Carpenter’s Dream of Helping Poor People B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People C. McElroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist D. Community Is the Source of Strength C Having retired from the job at the brewery (啤酒厂), Harold Fry is leading a simple life with his wife Maureen when an unexpected mail arrives. The sender is a former woman colleague Harold hasn’t heard about for twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice (临终关怀医院) and is writing to say goodbye. Harold immediately writes a reply and walks eagerly to the nearest mailbox to send it. However, there is something inside him that makes him give up the thought of posting and despite Maureen’s disagreement, he starts to walk to the faraway Berwick to meet Queenie in person, lasting 87 days. I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. This book was a part of her reading list at her friend’s suggestion, so I decided to buy it in the bookstore during this summer. And undoubtedly I made the right choice! The book has been divided into several chapters and it is more of a collection of short stories. In each chapter, Harold comes across different people, from a garage girl to a manager in the café, each telling a story and influencing Harold in some way. As chapters progress, you get to see a change in Harold. When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages (使参与) himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. I felt this is a reminder for all of us to have a moment of our own during our busy schedule. For a first novel, Joyce has written an incredible story. From the title of the book to the characters, everything is well organized. The story has the energy of an adventure and at the same time, it’s emotionally inspiring. I don’t think the adapted film is better than the paper book. It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it. 8. What is the text? A. A book review. B. A moving story. C. A travel guide. D. A diary. 9. How did the author first hear of the book? A. From a bookshop owner. B. From a book. C. From a friend’s recommendation. D. From an author’s interview. 10. Which part of the book does the author most appreciate? A. Harold’s work experience. B. Harold’s experiences in fields. C. Harold’s reflection on past life. D. The challenges Harold faces along the way. 11. How does the author suggest truly appreciating the book? A. By discussing it with others. B. By watching a film adaptation. C. By reading to feel the characters’ lives. D. By relating it to one’s own life experiences. D A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items. Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School, and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放). More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items — burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels. Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to. the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting,” says Wolfson. While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is. “An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them,” Wolfson says. “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.” 12. What’s the aim of the new study? A. To encourage sustainable food choices in fast food restaurants. B. To discover the impact of climate labels on fast food choices. C. To find out the connection between red meat and health problems. D. To decide the best method for labeling food products in general. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The process of the study. B. The results of the study. C. The importance of the study. D. The influence of the study. 14. What potential effect could climate labels cause? A They may cause confusion among consumers. B. They could make a food item seem healthier than it is. C. They might result in people consuming more red meat. D. They may lead to an increase in vegetarian choices. 15.

Cautious. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Language Learner Habits to Avoid Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don’t and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do!

Although my parents were not wealthy, they always tried to turn special occasions into beautiful memories with each other. I was about to leave for school when my mother stopped me. “Wait a minute! We have something special for you!” my mother announced and offered me a shoebox. My eyebrows raised in surprise. This gift was surprising because the box looked like one of my favourite brands. When I lifted the lid, I screamed in delight. “Happy birthday, baby!” my mom said as I grabbed the popular basketball shoes and tried them on.“I got them from Mr. Byrne’s thrift shop (旧货店), but they look pretty new, right?” “I don’t care where they came from, Mom. They are amazing! Thank you so much!”I held them fondly. “I can’t wait to show them off at school!” Of course, I received lots of praise at school. Suddenly, Brandon, one of my classmates, shouted, “Look! There’s something written here!” I looked carefully and saw the words “To my dearest boy…” on a sole (鞋底). “Your mom probably wrote them,” Brandon stated. I shook my head. “My mom’s handwriting is not like this. It must be from the old owner.” I wondered about the words the rest of the day. Someone had really loved my sneakers, and maybe these shoes held much meaning to someone else. After school, I walked to Mr. Byrne’s store and asked around. The older man said, “Oh, they were brought in by a kid named Samuel. He lives in a red house nearby. Mrs. Gherkins’ son, I believe.” “Do you know why he sold them?” “Most people bring stuff here because they need money,” Mr. Byrne stated. I walked out of the store, thinking about how sad the boy probably was. I wanted to know what happened, so I looked around that street and soon spotted the red house. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I returned home barefoot (赤脚的) and my parents were surprised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
