第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)
A
Many people want to travel around the world and enjoy new cultures, especially the different festivals. There are festivals going on somewhere in the world every day of the year. These range from very large events which involve whole cities to local celebrations in tiny villages or neighborhoods of towns or cities. We have selected a few of the more unusual, colorful festivals from around the world. You can choose anyone you like best!
The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Thirteen years ago, Eric Schechter and his friends were brainstorming to find new ways of raising money for local charities when they came up with the idea of rubber duck races. The event, crazy as it may sound, involves racing "cool" rubber ducks down a local waterway and having members of the community "adopt" the ducks for a chance to win valuable donated prizes, possibly even $1 million bucks.
La Tomatina: Bunol, Spain
"The tomato battle is in honor of Saint Luis Beltran, the patron saint of Bunol. Residents and visitors take part in a tomato-throwing battle that decimates more than 88,000 pounds of tomatoes. This crazy event began with a serious aim as a symbolic protest against Franco. But the Tomatina is now celebrated as an amusing way to end the summer."
Mighty Mud Mania: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
"Children's dreams really do come true in the City of Scottsdale. Children aged 1 to 13, get to participate in a mud race to end all mud races. During the running of the Mighty Mud Obstacle(泥坑) course, several mud pits strategically placed, provide wet and really dirty obstacles as kids compete for the fastest time in each heat. There are also mud puddle pools for the tiny tots, and a mini mud course for those six and younger. In addition, Mighty Mudway features water and mud games. There are also water slides, sandcastle buildings and fun for all ages. Moms and dads, remember to send your kids out with old clothes and shoes. And have no fear, Rural Metro Fire Department is on hand to offer plenty of water for the muddy children."
Canberra Sled Dog Classic: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia. As there's no snow (the trail is earth and sand and is smooth and wide with a few hills and turns), the sleds have wheels instead of runners, but the excitement is the same.
1. Which of the following means the summer is over?
A Mighty Mud Mania. B. La Tomatina.
C. Canberra Sled Dog Classic. D. The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race.
2. What can you enjoy in all the four festivals mentioned?
A. Fantastic activities. B. Beautiful beaches.
C. Delicious food. D. Amazing sceneries.
3. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.
A. share personal experiences B. compare cultures in different countries
C. introduce favorable festivals D. offer practical tips on choosing activities
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上精彩绝伦,又非比寻常的四个节日。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据La Tomatina: Bunol, Spain这一小标题下最后一句But the Tomatina is now celebrated as an amusing way to end the summer. (但是 Tomatina现在被当作一种结束夏天的有趣方式来庆祝。)可知,现在Tomatina已经作为庆祝结束夏天结束的一种有趣方式了。这里的end the summer和题干中summer is over进行了替换。故此题选B。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章Eric Schechter and his friends were brainstorming to find new ways of raising money for local charities when they came up with the idea of rubber duck races. 可知,第一个节日有橡胶鸭子赛跑活动。根据文章The tomato battle is in honor of Saint Luis Beltran可知,第二个节日有番茄大战。根据文章During the running of the Mighty Mud Obstacle(泥坑) course可知,第三个节日有泥浆赛跑。根据文章Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia.可知第四个节日有狗拉雪橇活动。所以四个节日的共同特点就是有精彩的活动。故此题选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一自然段We have selected a few of the more unusual, colorful festivals from around the world. You can choose anyone you like best!(我们从世界各地挑选了一些更不寻常、更丰富多彩的节日。你可以选择你最喜欢的节日!)是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知作者写这篇文章的目的就是介绍一些精彩绝伦,又非比寻常的节日。故此题选C。
B
I’m a 22-year-old young man and came to China 4 months ago for the same reasons most people of my age do. They want to see the world and expand their minds. To explore more about China, I am currently teaching English in Guangdong.
China hasn’t been the expected. Before I came, I was an aware of the level of ongoing development within the country. High-rise buildings, flat screen televisions, well-equipped classrooms... I found myself pleasantly surprised. Like other foreigners, I saw the funny side of the language barrier and tasted the chicken feet. I gave in to the flow of Chinese culture and haven’t looked back since, but it wasn't until today that I realized how naturally similar it is to my own.
When the Chinese take a photograph, they won’t say “Cheese!” like we do back home in the U. K. Instead, they say the word “Eggplant! (茄子).” Amused at first, I suddenly realized that I had no reason to be critical. Cheese? Eggplant? Any difference?
China is home to one of the oldest and greatest cultures in the world. It is in this country that I have witnessed some of the most beautiful scenes that the human race can offer. We all share a way of life, no matter where we’re from or where we go. It’s my conclusion that though we shout random foods at a camera, at least, we’re all shouting words from the same category. How different can we really be?
So, instead of grasping onto your own culture, take a break and allow the culture of another country to embrace you. You may be surprised at the amount of similarities you find, just as I was this afternoon in sunny, southern China.
4. Why did the writer come to China?
A. To copy others. B. To make a living. C. To learn Chinese. D. To satisfy his curiosity.
5. What makes a pleasant surprise for the writer in China?
A. The rich culture. B. The way of taking photos.
C. The unexpected modern life. D. The funny scenes in communication.
6. What lesson did the writer learn through his experience in China?
A. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
B. People should all shout “Cheese” at a camera.
C. People of different cultures share some similarities.
D. The more you travel, the more you appreciate home.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. English or Chinese? B. Cheese and Eggplants
C. The Importance of Travel D. The Long Culture of China
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位英国人在中国的经历,发现不同文化中的相似处。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To explore more about China, I am currently teaching English in Guangdong.(为了更多地了解中国,我目前在广东教英语)”可知,作者来中国是好奇心驱使,想了解中国。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“China hasn’t been the expected. Before I came, I was unaware of the level of ongoing development within the country. High-rise buildings, flat screen televisions, well-equipped classrooms... I found myself pleasantly surprised.(中国并没有在我的意之中料。在我来之前,我不了解该国的发展水平。高楼大厦、平板电视、设备齐全的教室……我发现自己感到惊喜)”可知,作者没有预料到中国具有先进的生活学习设施,所以非常惊讶,同时也很享受这样现代化的生活。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“We all share a way of life, no matter where we’re from or where we go. It’s my conclusion that though we shout random foods at a camera, at least, we’re all shouting words from the same category. How different can we really be?(我们都分享一种生活方式,无论我们来自哪里或去哪里。我的结论是,尽管我们对着镜头喊随机食物,但至少,我们都在喊同一类别的单词。我们到底能有多大不同?)”可推知,作者在中国的经历,让作者感受到,不同国家和地区的人虽然文化有差异,却有很多相似之处。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据尾段“So, instead of grasping onto your own culture, take a break and allow the culture of another country to embrace you. You may be surprised at the amount of similarities you find, just as I was this afternoon in sunny, southern China.(所以,与其执着于自己的文化,不如休息一下,让另一个国家的文化拥抱你。你可能会惊讶于你发现的相似之处之多,就像我今天下午在阳光明媚的中国南方一样)”并结合全文可知,文章主要介绍作者通过观察到中英两国人民在照相时都选择了食物种类的词语,总结出不同文化虽有差异却有很多相似之处,鼓励读者去经历外国文化。由此可知,B选项“Cheese and Eggplants(奶酪和茄子)”为两种不同的食物代表中西方的食物,既有不同又有相似之处,与主题吻合。故选B项。
C
Many strawberry farmers prefer to remove natural habitat around their farms to keep wild birds, and any bacteria they carry, away from their fields and crops. However a new study published in 2022 shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.
The study was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California’s Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat berries without surrounding natural habitat.
For the study scientists looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal (排泄物) samples from 55 bird species, combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys. They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying bacteria. Using this data, the scientists then ranked wild birds to see which were more likely to bring most benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, were ranked beneficial to farmland.
But the results were more than creating a list of “good” and “bad” birds. The study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm. And farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds constantly saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others.
The study was part of a series of research conducted in Daniel Karp’s lab at University of California, Davis, all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds so that farmers experience less berry damage on farms with more habitat nearby.
8. What is the finding of the new study in 2022?
A. Wild birds in farms decrease food-safety risks.
B. Natural habitat near farms reduces crop damage
C. Birds in natural habitat carry more bacteria to farms.
D. Farms neighboring natural habitat benefit most from birds.
9. Which of the following was a research step in the study?
A. Analyzing 55 bird species.
B Conducting 300 bird surveys.
C. Finding out what wild birds eat.
D. Ranking birds according to how they eat.
10. What determined the impact that birds brought to farms?
A. Presence of neighboring farmlands.
B. Management of the surrounding land.
C. Location of natural habitat for wildlife.
D. Species of wild birds that lived near farms.
11. Why is a related study in 2020 mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To draw a conclusion. B. To make a comparison.
C To support the research finding. D. To give background information.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。2022年发布的一项新研究表明,周围有自然栖息地的农场从鸟类那里获得的好处最多,包括作物损害更少,食品安全风险更低。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一自然段“However a new study published in 2022 shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.(然而,2022年发布的一项新研究表明,周围有自然栖息地的农场从鸟类那里获得的好处最多,包括作物损害更少,食品安全风险更低。)”可知,2022年发布的一项新研究发现是邻近自然栖息地的农场从鸟类中受益最多。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段“For the study scientists looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal (排泄物) samples from 55 bird species, combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys. They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying bacteria.(在这项研究中,科学家们对1000份粪便进行了分析来自55种鸟类的样本,结合300多个鸟类调查的数据。他们利用这些信息来确定每只鸟在吃什么——无论是害虫、益虫还是农作物,以及哪些鸟携带细菌。)”可知,确定野生鸟类吃什么是这项研究的一个步骤。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四自然段“The study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm. And farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds constantly saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others.(研究发现,大多数鸟类物种给农场带来了成本和收益,这取决于周围土地的管理方式。自然栖息地的存在是区分农场的唯一最重要因素,在那里,野生鸟类带来的益处大于危害。与其他农场相比,周围有鸟类自然栖息地的农场受到的破坏更少,细菌问题更少。)”可知,周围土地的管理决定了鸟类对农场的影响。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“…all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds …(所有研究都集中在维护农田周围野生动物自然栖息地的影响和重要性。2020年的一项相关研究还发现,拥有自然栖息地的农场吸引了更多的食虫鸟和更少的吃草莓的鸟……)”可知,最后一段提到2020年的一项相关研究是为了支持研究结果。故选C。
D
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
12. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.
13. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
14. Why do parents and teens want to be right?
A. To give orders to the other. B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other. D. To get the other to behave properly.
15. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems. B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D. Future of the parent teen relationship.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了父母与青少年之间的矛盾冲突及常见的三种情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?(就像邻国之间的边境冲突一样,父母与青少年之间的战争是关于界限的:在我能控制的事情和你所做的事情之间的界限在哪里呢?)”可推知,作者把父母与青少年之间的战争比作边境冲突是因为两者都关乎界限在哪里,也就是在哪里划线的问题。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. (从父母的角度来看,他们争吵的唯一原因是他们的青少年完全不讲道理)”以及“Both feel trapped.(双方都觉得陷入了困境)”可知,双方陷入了困境的原因是父母认为是青少年的原因导致冲突,而青少年则认为是父母的原因导致冲突,所以划线部分意思是 “青少年指责他们的父母引发了冲突”。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect.(第三,需要证明自己是对的。无论话题是什么——政治、物理定律,还是打鸡蛋的正确方法——这些争论的重点是证明你是对的,而对方是错的,因为双方都希望被视为权威——一个真正懂点东西的人——从而赢得尊重)”可知,父母和青少年都想证明自己是对的是为了赢得对方的尊重。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.(在这篇文章中,我将描述三种通常出现在青少年和父母之间的两败俱伤的情况,然后提出一些摆脱困境的方法)”以及后面描述了三种情况可知,接下来作者很可能会讨论解决父母与青少年问题的方法。故选A。

How to Take to Become a Morning Person
As we all know, early to bed and early to rise is beneficial to health. ____16____ Here are some tips for you to take to become a morning person.
●Seek out as much natural light as possible. The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. ____17____ When you wake up, pop outside for a walk around the block, or sit out back while you sip a cup of coffee. Besides, the black-out curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment isn’t recommended. If the brightness bothers you overnight, consider wearing an eye mask that you take off as you start to wake up.
● ____18____ There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising. You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired in the first few days but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. You can shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. Step by step it’s easier for you to tolerate.
●Go to bed early in the evenings. A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same rising time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night. ____19____ Cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, because being exposed to artificial light in the late evening holds back your body’s ability to generate melatonin (褪黑素), which can interfere with both your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality.
●Plan something to look forward to. To motivate you out of bed, you should treat yourself to something special you can enjoy the moment you get up. For example, you won’t miss your favorite coffee or pastries when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m... ____20____
A. Ease in gradually.
B. Be consistent with your schedule.
C. You’re not fearing it if you think of these.
D. The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
E. Enough sleep will enhance your immune function.
F. However, it really needs dramatic courage to pull yourself out of the warm bed.
G. Thus, you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了几个帮助早起的建议。
【16题详解】
上文“As we all know, early to bed and early to rise is beneficial to health.(众所周知,早睡早起有益于健康)”提到早睡早起有利于健康,结合下文“Here are some tips for you to take to become a morning person.(这里有一些建议可以帮助你成为一个早起的人)”可知,空处应是说早起对人们来说不容易,由此引出下文的一些关于早起的建议,F项“然而,把自己从温暖的被窝里拽出来真的需要巨大的勇气”符合语境,故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light.(成为一个早起的人的秘密是暴露在明亮的阳光下)”提到,早起秘诀是将自己暴露在明亮的光线下,分析选项,D项“太阳是我们生物钟的驱动者”解释上文的原因,太阳是我们生物钟的驱动者,所以暴露在阳光下能让人早起,故选D。
【18题详解】
空处是段落主题句,根据本段内容及最后一句“Step by step it’s easier for you to tolerate.(一步一步来,你更容易忍受)”可知,本段是介绍循序渐进培养早起习惯的两个方法,A项“逐渐适应”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
根据本段主题句“Go to bed early in the evenings.(晚上早睡)”及空前“Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night.(大多数人应该保证每晚至少7小时睡眠)”可知,因为大多数人要保证每晚至少睡7小时,所以想要早起,还应该早睡,G项“因此,当你过渡到一个新的时间表时,你可能需要把你的就寝时间提前一点”符合语境,与上文形成因果关系,且呼应本段的主题,故选G。
【20题详解】
上文“To motivate you out of bed, you should treat yourself to something special you can enjoy the moment you get up. For example, you won’t miss your favorite coffee or pastries when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m…(为了激励你从床上爬起来,你应该给自己一些特别的东西,你可以在起床的那一刻享受。例如,当你的闹钟在早上5点响起时,你不会错过你最喜欢的咖啡或糕点)”提到,可以计划一些值得期待的事情来激励自己早起,如最喜欢的咖啡或糕点,这样早起就没有那么难了,故C项“想想这些,你就不会害怕早起了”符合语境,C项中的“these”指代上文的“your favorite coffee or pastries”,故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了中国春节被列入《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》以及春节的意义。
【36题详解】
考查时态与语态。句意:联合国教科文组织在2024年12月4日的会议上将春节列入人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。句子描述的是2024年12月4日发生的事件,属于过去的时间,因此需要用一般过去时。动词add的过去式是added。故填added。
【37题详解】
考查被动语态与非谓语动词。句意:作为中国文化的标志性部分,春节也被称为中国新年,是中国乃至全世界最重要的节日之一。句子谓语动词是is,空格处是非谓语动词,此处Spring Festival与call之间是被动关系,表示“被称为”,因此用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:同上。“one of the most important...”表示“最重要的……之一”,后面接可数名词复数形式。因此festival需要用复数festivals。故填festivals。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:将春节列为一项独特的人类非物质文化遗产不仅是对其中国根源的认可,而且是对其所承载的联结全人类理念的认可。此处“unique Intangible Cultural Heritage”是单数可数名词,且unique以辅音音素开头,因此用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:同上。not only… but…是固定搭配,表示“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:食物传统在中国烹饪中扮演重要角色,菜肴表达着对亲人的祝福。此处是with的复合结构,dishes与express之间是主动关系,表示“表达对亲人的祝福”,因此用现在分词expressing。故填expressing。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:春节包含了不同层次的非物质文化遗产。此处修饰名词levels,表示“不同的层次”,因此用形容词various/ varied作定语。故填various/varied。
【43题详解】
考查介词搭配。句意:这是一个充满民间故事和基于这些故事的传统的节日。be based on是固定搭配,表示“基于……”。故填on。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:过去,烟花和红色装饰是为了驱赶一种叫“年”的怪兽,人们在岁末之际害怕它。此处修饰整个句子,表示“过去”,因此用副词“formerly”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Formerly。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:其他文化符号和活动包括剪纸、舞龙和灯会,构成了庆祝这一节日的人们最快乐的日子。此处引导定语从句,修饰those,指人,且在从句中作主语,因此只能用关系代词who。故填who。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At a noisy train station a young couple boarded a train with their one-year-old son. The child, already battling a fever at home, was further unsettled by the motion of the train and the unfamiliar environment. His discomfort made him cry loudly. The noise filled the carriage (客车厢), breaking the quietness that most travelers had found in their books or the peaceful landscape passing by the windows.
Among the passengers was a businessman, seated next to the family, who had been looking forward to a peaceful rest to make up for a sleepless night. The child’s continuous crying disrupted (打乱) his plans, and his annoyance became obvious.
The young mother, with an apologetic smile, tried to rock her son back to calm, softly whispering endearments into his tiny ear. The father, with a helpless look at the surrounding passengers, turned to the visibly annoyed man. “We apologize for the disturbance,” he said. “Our boy has fallen ill, and the motion of the train is not helping matters.”
Upon hearing this, the businessman’s annoyance softened. He had a nephew (外甥) around the same age and understood the challenges of traveling with a sick child. His anger died away, replaced by a wave of understanding. “Don’t worry,” he replied, his voice gentle, “I can try to help.”
He reached into his bag and took out a small wooden rattle (拨浪鼓), a gift for his own nephew. Then he offered a gentle hand to the little boy. He tried to make soft sounds with the wooden rattle, together with making funny faces, trying to distract (使分心) the child from his discomfort. To everyone’s surprise, the little boy’s tears began to stop as the rattle’s gentle sound caught his attention. Soon, he was attracted by the toy. The mother’s relief was evident as she offered a silent, heartfelt “thank you” to the man.
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。
Then the atmosphere in the carriage began to change.

With the shared care of the passengers, the little boy eventually went into a peaceful sleep.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Then the atmosphere in the carriage began to change. Other passengers, who had been quietly observing the situation, were inspired to lend a hand. A young woman with a kind smile offered to share her sketchbook, offering to draw pictures to entertain the child. And a conductor brought more toys from the children’s kit. A group of students traveling together played a soft, comforting music with the guitar to calm the little boy. The once-annoyed passengers had transformed into a caring community, and their collective efforts made a difference to the young family who were struggling.
With the shared care of the passengers, the little boy eventually went into a peaceful sleep. The young couple, touched by the unexpected kindness, felt a profound sense of gratitude and warmth. They exchanged heartfelt smiles with these kind strangers. As the train pulled into its destination station, they shared warm farewells. The passengers were getting off the train with smiles and expressing good wishes for the young family. The young couple, carrying their now sleeping son, stepped off the train with a renewed hope and a story to tell about the kindness of strangers.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一对年轻夫妇的孩子在火车行驶和陌生环境中感到不适,开始大声哭闹,打乱了车厢里大多数乘客的平静。特别是坐在他们旁边的一位期待休息的商人,因孩子的哭闹而烦恼。然而,当孩子的父母解释孩子生病的情况后,商人理解并同情这对夫妇的处境,他拿出自己送给侄子的木制拨浪鼓,试图用柔和的声音和鬼脸转移孩子的注意力。出乎意料的是,这个玩具成功地吸引了孩子的注意,使他停止了哭泣。孩子的母亲因此感到轻松,并向商人表达了由衷的感谢。

A
Many people want to travel around the world and enjoy new cultures, especially the different festivals. There are festivals going on somewhere in the world every day of the year. These range from very large events which involve whole cities to local celebrations in tiny villages or neighborhoods of towns or cities. We have selected a few of the more unusual, colorful festivals from around the world. You can choose anyone you like best!
The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Thirteen years ago, Eric Schechter and his friends were brainstorming to find new ways of raising money for local charities when they came up with the idea of rubber duck races. The event, crazy as it may sound, involves racing "cool" rubber ducks down a local waterway and having members of the community "adopt" the ducks for a chance to win valuable donated prizes, possibly even $1 million bucks.
La Tomatina: Bunol, Spain
"The tomato battle is in honor of Saint Luis Beltran, the patron saint of Bunol. Residents and visitors take part in a tomato-throwing battle that decimates more than 88,000 pounds of tomatoes. This crazy event began with a serious aim as a symbolic protest against Franco. But the Tomatina is now celebrated as an amusing way to end the summer."
Mighty Mud Mania: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
"Children's dreams really do come true in the City of Scottsdale. Children aged 1 to 13, get to participate in a mud race to end all mud races. During the running of the Mighty Mud Obstacle(泥坑) course, several mud pits strategically placed, provide wet and really dirty obstacles as kids compete for the fastest time in each heat. There are also mud puddle pools for the tiny tots, and a mini mud course for those six and younger. In addition, Mighty Mudway features water and mud games. There are also water slides, sandcastle buildings and fun for all ages. Moms and dads, remember to send your kids out with old clothes and shoes. And have no fear, Rural Metro Fire Department is on hand to offer plenty of water for the muddy children."
Canberra Sled Dog Classic: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia. As there's no snow (the trail is earth and sand and is smooth and wide with a few hills and turns), the sleds have wheels instead of runners, but the excitement is the same.
1. Which of the following means the summer is over?
A. Mighty Mud Mania. B. La Tomatina.
C. Canberra Sled Dog Classic. D. The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race.
2. What can you enjoy in all the four festivals mentioned?
A. Fantastic activities. B. Beautiful beaches.
C. Delicious food. D. Amazing sceneries.
3. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.
A. share personal experiences B. compare cultures in different countries
C. introduce favorable festivals D. offer practical tips on choosing activities
B
I’m a 22-year-old young man and came to China 4 months ago for the same reasons most people of my age do. They want to see the world and expand their minds. To explore more about China, I am currently teaching English in Guangdong.
China hasn’t been the expected. Before I came, I was an aware of the level of ongoing development within the country. High-rise buildings, flat screen televisions, well-equipped classrooms... I found myself pleasantly surprised. Like other foreigners, I saw the funny side of the language barrier and tasted the chicken feet. I gave in to the flow of Chinese culture and haven’t looked back since, but it wasn't until today that I realized how naturally similar it is to my own.
When the Chinese take a photograph, they won’t say “Cheese!” like we do back home in the U. K. Instead, they say the word “Eggplant! (茄子).” Amused at first, I suddenly realized that I had no reason to be critical. Cheese? Eggplant? Any difference?
China is home to one of the oldest and greatest cultures in the world. It is in this country that I have witnessed some of the most beautiful scenes that the human race can offer. We all share a way of life, no matter where we’re from or where we go. It’s my conclusion that though we shout random foods at a camera, at least, we’re all shouting words from the same category. How different can we really be?
So, instead of grasping onto your own culture, take a break and allow the culture of another country to embrace you. You may be surprised at the amount of similarities you find, just as I was this afternoon in sunny, southern China.
4. Why did the writer come to China?
A. To copy others. B. To make a living. C. To learn Chinese. D. To satisfy his curiosity.
5. What makes a pleasant surprise for the writer in China?
A. The rich culture. B. The way of taking photos.
C. The unexpected modern life. D. The funny scenes in communication.
6. What lesson did the writer learn through his experience in China?
A. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
B. People should all shout “Cheese” at a camera.
C. People of different cultures share some similarities.
D. The more you travel, the more you appreciate home.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. English or Chinese? B. Cheese and Eggplants
C. The Importance of Travel D. The Long Culture of China

Many strawberry farmers prefer to remove natural habitat around their farms to keep wild birds, and any bacteria they carry, away from their fields and crops. However a new study published in 2022 shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.
The study was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California’s Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat berries without surrounding natural habitat.
For the study scientists looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal (排泄物) samples from 55 bird species, combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys. They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying bacteria. Using this data, the scientists then ranked wild birds to see which were more likely to bring most benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, were ranked beneficial to farmland.
But the results were more than creating a list of “good” and “bad” birds. The study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm. And farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds constantly saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others.
The study was part of a series of research conducted in Daniel Karp’s lab at University of California, Davis, all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds so that farmers experience less berry damage on farms with more habitat nearby.
8. What is the finding of the new study in 2022?
A. Wild birds in farms decrease food-safety risks.
B. Natural habitat near farms reduces crop damage
C. Birds in natural habitat carry more bacteria to farms.
D. Farms neighboring natural habitat benefit most from birds.
9. Which of the following was a research step in the study?
A. Analyzing 55 bird species.
B. Conducting 300 bird surveys.
C. Finding out what wild birds eat.
D. Ranking birds according to how they eat.
10. What determined the impact that birds brought to farms?
A. Presence of neighboring farmlands.
B. Management of the surrounding land.
C. Location of natural habitat for wildlife.
D. Species of wild birds that lived near farms.
11. Why is a related study in 2020 mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To draw a conclusion. B. To make a comparison.
C. To support the research finding. D. To give background information.
D
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
12. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.
13. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
14. Why do parents and teens want to be right?
A. To give orders to the other. B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other. D. To get the other to behave properly.
15. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems. B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D. Future of the parent teen relationship.

How to Take to Become a Morning Person
As we all know, early to bed and early to rise is beneficial to health. ____16____ Here are some tips for you to take to become a morning person.
●Seek out as much natural light as possible. The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. ____17____ When you wake up, pop outside for a walk around the block, or sit out back while you sip a cup of coffee. Besides, the black-out curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment isn’t recommended. If the brightness bothers you overnight, consider wearing an eye mask that you take off as you start to wake up.
● ____18____ There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising. You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired in the first few days but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. You can shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. Step by step it’s easier for you to tolerate.
●Go to bed early in the evenings. A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same rising time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night. ____19____ Cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, because being exposed to artificial light in the late evening holds back your body’s ability to generate melatonin (褪黑素), which can interfere with both your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality.
●Plan something to look forward to. To motivate you out of bed, you should treat yourself to something special you can enjoy the moment you get up. For example, you won’t miss your favorite coffee or pastries when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m... ____20____
A. Ease in gradually.
B. Be consistent with your schedule.
C. You’re not fearing it if you think of these.
D. The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
E. Enough sleep will enhance your immune function.
F. However, it really needs dramatic courage to pull yourself out of the warm bed.
G. Thus, you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At a noisy train station, a young couple boarded a train with their one-year-old son. The child, already battling a fever at home, was further unsettled by the motion of the train and the unfamiliar environment. His discomfort made him cry loudly. The noise filled the carriage (客车厢), breaking the quietness that most travelers had found in their books or the peaceful landscape passing by the windows.
Among the passengers was a businessman, seated next to the family, who had been looking forward to a peaceful rest to make up for a sleepless night. The child’s continuous crying disrupted (打乱) his plans, and his annoyance became obvious.
The young mother, with an apologetic smile, tried to rock her son back to calm, softly whispering endearments into his tiny ear. The father, with a helpless look at the surrounding passengers, turned to the visibly annoyed man. “We apologize for the disturbance,” he said. “Our boy has fallen ill, and the motion of the train is not helping matters.”
Upon hearing this, the businessman’s annoyance softened. He had a nephew (外甥) around the same age and understood the challenges of traveling with a sick child. His anger died away, replaced by a wave of understanding. “Don’t worry,” he replied, his voice gentle, “I can try to help.”
He reached into his bag and took out a small wooden rattle (拨浪鼓), a gift for his own nephew. Then he offered a gentle hand to the little boy. He tried to make soft sounds with the wooden rattle, together with making funny faces, trying to distract (使分心) the child from his discomfort. To everyone’s surprise, the little boy’s tears began to stop as the rattle’s gentle sound caught his attention. Soon, he was attracted by the toy. The mother’s relief was evident as she offered a silent, heartfelt “thank you” to the man.
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。
Then the atmosphere in the carriage began to change.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the shared care of the passengers, the little boy eventually went into a peaceful sleep.
