You have to provide a current state or federal photo ID with a KC area street address. (要注册一个借阅账户，你必须是堪萨斯城地区的居民。您必须提供带有 KC地区街道地址的当前州或联邦带照片的身份证件。)”以及“Patrons must show their LHL library card or a photo ID at the time of check-out.(读者在图书馆把书借出时必须出示LHL借书证或带照片的身份证件。)”可知，从图书馆借阅资料必须有借阅账户，借阅资料时必须出示LHL借书证或带照片的身份证件。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Who Can Borrow:”下文中的“Established businesses within the KC area.(在KC内所建立的企业)”可知，在KC地区的公司工作的人可以从图书馆借书。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“If you wish to borrow from the Linda Hall Library but do not meet the above criteria, please contact your local library and request to borrow through interlibrary loan from Document Delivery Services.(如果您想从琳达·霍尔图书馆借阅但不符合上述标准，请联系您当地图书馆，并请求通过馆际互借从‘文献传递服务’借阅。)”可知，如果你不符合图书馆的标准，你可以向你当地的图书馆寻求帮助，通过“文献传递服务”申请馆际互借。故选B。 B An ordinary day in 2008, first grade teacher Alvin Irby stopped by a Bronx barbershop after school for a haircut. Before long, one of his students came in. “He is getting antsy; he’s kind of looking bored,” Irby recalled. “I’m looking at this student (thinking), ‘He should be practicing his reading.’ But I didn’t have a book.” That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he started Barbershop Books. Since 2013, the nonprofit has brought more than 50,000 free children’s books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly Black neighborhoods across the country. According to Irby, they are putting books in a male-centered space. “Less than 2% of teachers are Black males and many Black boys are raised by single moms. Black boys don’t see Black men reading.” So, Irby involves the barbers in his mission—training them to engage boys about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was, or tell them about another book another kid was reading.” Irby believes that talking about books with a Black man can be powerful for the boys he serves. “Our goal is not to turn barbers into tutors,” he said. “This is an opportunity to provide boys with male role models.” Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to forego that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.” And that’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.” 4. What inspired Irby to launch the project Barbershop Books? A. His encounter with his student in the barber’s. B. His childhood experience in his neighborhood. C. His bad impression on Black men. D. Barbers’ enthusiasm and generosity. 5. What does Irby intend the barbers to do in the project? A. To collect books for Black boys. B. To set a good example as a behaved citizen. C. To help Black boys comprehend books. D. To draw Black boys to reading. 6. What does the underlined word “forego” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Give up. B. Build up. C. Give away. D. Open up. 7. What has contributed to the success of the project? A. Black boys’ increased interest in reading. B. New policies concerning barbers’ shops. C. Irby’s firm belief in the power of reading. D. Effective cooperation between Irby and Denny Moe. 【答案】4 A 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章讲述了一年级教师Alvin Irby在理发店遇到一个学生后引发了他的思考，继而开创了Barbershop Books这个非营利项目，为一群由单亲妈妈抚养长大的黑人孩子提供书籍和读书空间，为他们树立男性榜样，使他们的生活发生了改变。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An ordinary day in 2008, first grade teacher Alvin Irby stopped by a Bronx barbershop after school for a haircut. Before long, one of his students came in.”（2008年一个普通的日子，一年级Alvin Irby放学后到布朗克斯的一家理发店理发。不久，他的一个学生走了进来。）和第二段““He is getting antsy; he’s kind of looking bored,” Irby recalled. “I’m looking at this student (thinking), ‘He should be practicing his reading.’ But I didn’t have a book.” That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he started Barbershop Books.”（“他开始坐立不安了;他看起来有点无聊，”Irby回忆道。“我看着这个学生(在想)，‘他应该在练习阅读。’但我没有书。”那一刻一直伴随着Irby，五年后他创办了Barbershop Books。）可知，是当时在理发店碰到一个学生引发了Irby的思考，继而开创了Barbershop Books这个项目的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So, Irby involves the barbers in his mission—training them to engage boys about reading.”（因此，Irby让理发师参与到他的任务中来——训练他们让男孩们参与阅读。）可知，Irby打算让理发师们吸引这些黑人男孩们阅读书籍。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上一句“Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income,”（Moe之前曾在他的Harlem商店里提供电子游戏，以赚取额外收入）和转折词“but”可知，划线词所在句与上一句之间为转折关系，故“he was willing to forego that to help the community.”应表示虽然他赚取了额外收入，但是为了帮助社区，他愿意放弃这些收入，故forego表示“放弃”。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.””（“我很激动，我们可以为男孩们创造一个安全的空间，让他们做一些真正改变生活的事情。”他说，“这就是我真的相信阅读可以做到，它释放了人们的潜力。”）可知，这个项目的成功，来源于Irby对阅读力量的坚定信念。故选C。 C When Mark Twain first set eyes on Honolulu in 1866, he observed that the trees were so thick that they blocked the sunlight, rocks from past volcanic eruptions covered the corals — and lovely cats were everywhere. Nearly 160 years later, however, the descendants (后代) of the cats that so pleased Twain are now widely seen as a threat to the islands. The wild cat, explains the Hawaii Invasive (侵入的) Species Council (HISC), has become one of the state’s most “disastrous” animals. Cats were first brought to Hawaii aboard European colonists’ ships, where they killed rats and mice. As their number in their new home grew during the 19th century, birds started to disappear. At least 30 types of native bird became rarer or went extinct between 1870 and 1930 as they were exposed to their new enemies, according to the US Geological Survey. Toxoplasmosis (弓形虫病) is a disease caused by a parasite (寄生虫) that reproduces in the digestive systems of cats, and then pollutes soil and water through their faces (粪便). A new study determined that two spinner dolphins found on the Hawaiian coast died of toxoplasmosis. From these findings the authors suggest that at least 60 spinner dolphins have died of the parasite over the past 30 years. A bill that could have directed the HISC to kill cats using poisoned food, as Australia has done, died in the state legislature earlier this year. Animal-lovers prefer to focus on catching wild cats, removing their sex organs and releasing them so that they have no kittens. But HISC contends that such programmes do not actually help control cat numbers. Ms West suggests that people are too quick to blame the cats, when there is another cruel animal. “People have to stop abandoning these poor cats,” she says. “It’s not really a cat problem. It’s a human problem.” 8. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To stress Mark Twain’s impression on cats. B. To urge people to show love to cats. C. To indicate the change of cats in the history. D. To lead in the topic of the wild cats in Hawaii. 9. What probably caused the decline of birds and dolphins? A. The loss of habitat. B. The infectious disease. C. The increase of cats. D. The polluted food. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Solutions to the problem. B. Influence on the society. C. Discovery of the phenomenon. D. Outcome of the situation. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Species Invasion Is Common in Hawaii B. Wild Cats Have Invaded Hawaii C. Humans Caused the Increase of Cats D. Getting Rid of Wild Cats in Hawaii 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇关于夏威夷野猫问题的文章。文章首先描述了马克·吐温对夏威夷猫的印象，然后介绍了这些猫的后代现在对岛屿构成的威胁，以及由此引发的一系列生态问题和解决措施的讨论。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段中提到“When Mark Twain first set eyes on Honolulu in 1866, he observed that the trees were so thick that they blocked the sunlight, rocks from past volcanic eruptions covered the corals—and lovely cats were everywhere. (当马克·吐温在1866年首次看到檀香山时，他注意到树木如此茂密以至于遮挡了阳光，过去火山爆发的岩石覆盖了珊瑚——可爱的猫咪到处都是)”紧接着文章提到“Nearly 160 years later, however, the descendants of the cats that so pleased Twain are now widely seen as a threat to the islands. (然而，近160年后，那些曾经让吐温如此喜欢的猫的后代现在被广泛视为对岛屿的威胁)”可知，这表明文章的主要目的是引入夏威夷野猫的问题，而不是单纯强调马克·吐温对猫的看法。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段中提到“As their number in their new home grew during the 19th century, birds started to disappear. At least 30 types of native bird became rarer or went extinct between 1870 and 1930 as they were exposed to their new enemies, according to the US Geological Survey. (根据美国地质调查局的数据，随着19世纪它们在新家园的数量增长，鸟类开始消失。至少有30种本地鸟类在1870年到1930年间变得稀有或灭绝，因为它们暴露在新的天敌面前)”，此外，文章第三段还提到“A new study determined that two spinner dolphins found on the Hawaiian coast died of toxoplasmosis. From these findings the authors suggest that at least 60 spinner dolphins have died of the parasite over the past 30 years. (一项新的研究确定，在夏威夷海岸发现的两只spinner海豚死于弓形虫病。从这些发现中，作者建议在过去30年中至少有60只spinner海豚死于该寄生虫。)”可推知，猫的增加是导致鸟类和海豚数量下降的原因。故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。文章的最后一段中提到“Animal-lovers prefer to focus on catching wild cats, removing their sex organs and releasing them so that they have no kittens. But HISC contends that such programmes do not actually help control cat numbers. (动物爱好者更倾向于专注于捕捉野猫，移除它们的生殖器官并释放它们，这样它们就没有小猫了。但夏威夷入侵物种委员会(HISC)认为这样的计划实际上并不能帮助控制猫的数量)”可知，这表明文章在讨论解决野猫问题的不同方法和观点。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Nearly 160 years later, however, the descendants (后代) of the cats that so pleased Twain are now widely seen as a threat to the islands. (然而，近160年后，那些曾经让吐温如此喜欢的猫的后代现在被广泛视为对岛屿的威胁)”可知，全文围绕夏威夷野猫问题展开，包括它们对当地生态的影响，以及提出的不同解决方案。故选B项。 D Toy giant Lego has given up on plans to make its bricks from recycled bottles, in a blow to its efforts to cut carbon emissions (排放). The company said in 2021 that it aimed to reduce oil-based bricks within two years. But Monday’s statement said it had found that using the new material didn’t reduce carbon emissions. Lego said it remains fully devoted to developing sustainable materials for bricks. The toy maker makes about 4, 400 different bricks. Currently, many of them are made using a plastic, ABS, mainly made from oil. The move, which was first reported in Financial Times, will be seen as a setback (挫折) after an open claim by Lego to improve its sustainability. Like many other companies, Lego has been exploring alternative materials to plastic that will be lasting enough for generations. In 2021, it said it had developed bricks made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, with some other chemicals added, to offer an alternative to oil-based bricks. But Lego has now discovered that after more than two years of testing, it had found that using recycled PET didn’t reduce carbon emissions. It said extra steps were required in the production process, which meant it needed to use more energy. It has decided not to progress with making bricks from the material, and now testing and developing bricks made from a range of alternative sustainable materials. Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of Lego, told the FT that it was hard to find “magic material” to fix the firm’s sustainability challenges. “We tested hundreds and hundreds of materials. It’s almost not been possible to find a material like that,” he said. A spokesperson for the company told the BBC, “We are investing more than $1. 2bn in sustainability move in the four years to 2025 as part of our efforts to turn to more sustainable materials and reduce our carbon emissions by 37% by 2032.” 12. What material has been Lego trying to replace? A ABS. B. PET. C. Oil. D. Carbon. 13. What did Lego find after the two-year test? A. It failed to achieve its desired goal. B. Carbon emission was under control. C. Pressure from competitors was huge. D. Added chemicals harm the environment. 14. In which part of a newspaper can the text be found? A. Entertainment. B. Sports. C. Economy. D. Education 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. A New Announcement from Lego B. More Recycling, More Pollution C. Lego: Dropping Its Low-impact Act D. Lego: Firm Green Goal Despite failure 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了乐高公司放弃使用回收塑料瓶制造积木的计划，并探讨了该公司面临的可持续发展挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The toy maker makes about 4, 400 different bricks. Currently, many of them are made using a plastic, ABS, mainly made from oil. (这家玩具制造商生产大约4400种不同的积木。目前，它们中的许多都是用一种主要由石油制成的塑料ABS制成的。)”可知，乐高一直试图取代由石油制成的塑料ABS。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But Lego has now discovered that after more than two years of testing, it had found that using recycled PET didn’t reduce carbon emissions. (但乐高现在发现，经过两年多的测试，它发现使用回收PET并不能减少碳排放。)”可知，经过两年的测试，乐高发现，PET未能达到预期的目标。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Toy giant Lego has given up on plans to make its bricks from recycled bottles, in a blow to its efforts to cut carbon emissions (排放). The company said in 2021 that it aimed to reduce oil-based bricks within two years. But Monday’s statement said it had found that using the new material didn’t reduce carbon emissions. Lego said it remains fully devoted to developing sustainable materials for bricks. (玩具巨头乐高(Lego)放弃了用回收瓶子制造积木的计划，这对其减少碳排放的努力造成了打击。该公司在2021年表示，其目标是在两年内减少油基积木的使用。但周一的声明说，它发现使用这种新材料并没有减少碳排放。乐高表示，该公司仍将全力致力于开发可持续的积木材料。)”可知，本文主要报道了乐高公司的动态，所以应来自报纸的经济板块。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Toy giant Lego has given up on plans to make its bricks from recycled bottles, in a blow to its efforts to cut carbon emissions (排放). The company said in 2021 that it aimed to reduce oil-based bricks within two years. But Monday’s statement said it had found that using the new material didn’t reduce carbon emissions. Lego said it remains fully devoted to developing sustainable materials for bricks. (玩具巨头乐高(Lego)放弃了用回收瓶子制造积木的计划，这对其减少碳排放的努力造成了打击。该公司在2021年表示，其目标是在两年内减少油基积木的使用。但周一的声明说，它发现使用这种新材料并没有减少碳排放。乐高表示，该公司仍将全力致力于开发可持续的积木材料。)”纵观可知，本文介绍了乐高公司放弃使用回收塑料瓶制造积木的计划，并探讨了该公司面临的可持续发展挑战，所以D项“Lego: Firm Green Goal Despite failure (乐高：尽管失败，但坚定的绿色目标)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In one of my teaching experiences, a colleague invited me to talk to his undergraduate class about being a clinical psychologist. Afterward, a line of students stopped me before I could go out. They didn’t have questions about the lecture. ___16___ The students’ enthusiasm showed the anxiety about navigating (找到正确方法) opportunity-seeking. ___17___ We encourage people to earn a college degree. We cheer on people who seek raises. However, emotional difficulties in opportunity-seeking and -taking can lead to our feeling stuck in the process. Because you can’t control how an opportunity will pan out, making your self-worth contingent (依情况而定的) on it creates a ground for anxiety and fear. There are two ways that people try to deal with these feelings: avoiding opportunities and seeking them excessively. Opportunity-avoiders are too hesitant to follow through with pursuing opportunities. Since they are afraid of failure, they avoid having a try at the opportunity. ___18___ They might also turn down opportunities that come their way because they don’t feel confident enough to pursue them. Compulsive (难控制的) opportunity-seekers get excited by the idea of an opportunity itself rather than identifying what the opportunity will mean for their quality of life. They find it painful to pass up opportunities even when they don’t have time for them and might say “yes” to thankless tasks. ___19___ These two ways are well-intentioned but they are also self-defeating. The healthiest way to go about opportunity-seeking and -taking is building self-awareness. ___20___ Additionally, have a sense of what you want, which will help you choose opportunities more purposely and carefully. A. But I didn’t have any opportunities for them. B. They hesitate to ask for help, sometimes out of shame. C. Figure out whether your behavior is clouded by emotion. D. Rather, they were eager to seek a chance to work with me. E. Pursuing opportunity is a healthy behavior that society celebrates. F. It could also mean being patient for a better time to start a new opportunity. G. As can be imagined, overloading one’s schedule does not do much to improve self-worth. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人们在寻求和把握机会时面临的情感困难和应对方式，并提出了建立自我认知作为最健康的方式来面对机会寻求和把握。 【16题详解】 根据空前内容“They didn’t have questions about the lecture.(他们没有关于讲座的问题。)”可知，学生并没有问关于讲座的问题。选项D“Rather, they were eager to seek a chance to work with me.(相反，他们渴望找机会和我一起工作。)”承接上文内容，指出，学生们并没有问关于讲座的问题，反而希望和作者一起工作。故选D。 【17题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“We encourage people to earn a college degree. We cheer on people who seek raises. However, emotional difficulties in opportunity-seeking and -taking can lead to our feeling stuck in the process. Because you can’t control how an opportunity will pan out, making your self-worth contingent(依情况而定的) on it creates a ground for anxiety and fear.(我们鼓励人们获得大学学位。我们为寻求加薪的人喝彩。然而，在寻找机会和抓住机会的过程中，情感上的困难会导致我们在这个过程中陷入困境。因为你不能控制一个机会如何实现，让你的自我价值依赖于它会给你带来焦虑和恐惧。)”可知，本段讲述的是社会对于追求机会的鼓励和庆祝，但紧接着提到在机会寻求和把握过程中可能会遇到情感上的困难，导致人们感到困惑。这些描述与选项E“Pursuing opportunity is a healthy behavior that society celebrates(追求机会是社会所庆祝的一种健康行为)”最为吻合。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据空前内容“Opportunity-avoiders are too hesitant to follow through with pursuing opportunities. Since they are afraid of failure, they avoid having a try at the opportunity.(机会回避者在追求机会时过于犹豫。由于害怕失败，他们避免尝试机会。)”可知，上文主要描述的是机会逃避者因为害怕失败而避免尝试机会，可以推断空处应该是一个描述他们可能的其他表现或心态的句子。选项B“They hesitate to ask for help, sometimes out of shame.(他们犹豫着是否寻求帮助，有时是因为羞耻。)”中的“hesitate”与前文提到的机会逃避者的特征接近。与上文内容相符。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文内容“They find it painful to pass up opportunities even when they don’t have time for them and might say “yes” to thankless tasks. (他们觉得放弃机会很痛苦，即使他们没有时间，他们可能会对吃力不讨好的任务说“是”。)”可知，上文提到的是强迫性机会寻求者会因为机会本身而兴奋，甚至在没有时间的情况下也难以拒绝机会，接下来需要找到一个句子来描述这种行为可能导致的后果。选项G“As can be imagined, overloading one’s schedule does not do much to improve self-worth.(可以想象，过度安排日程并不会对提高自我价值有多大帮助。)” 与上文描述的强迫性机会寻求者的行为直接相关，即他们过度安排日程，导致自我价值难以提高。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据空前内容“These two ways are well-intentioned but they are also self-defeating. The healthiest way to go about opportunity-seeking and -taking is building self-awareness.(这两种方式都是出于好意，但也会弄巧成拙。寻找和把握机会最健康的方式是建立自我意识。)”可知，上文提出寻找和把握机会最健康的方式是建立自我意识。选项C“Figure out whether your behavior is clouded by emotion.(弄清楚你的行为是否被情绪所影响。)” 与建立自我意识的概念相符。了解自己的行为是否受到情绪的影响是建立自我意识的一个重要方面，因为它能帮助我们更客观地看待自己的选择和决策。故选C。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Jeff Jens can clearly recall the first time when he realized solar power was the real deal. On a cold November morning in the 1980s, Jens ____21____ his hand over a vent (排气口) cover in his father-in-law’s home, where he and his wife Boisclair were visiting. Boisclair’s father had installed (安装) a solar panel system in the house, which ____22____ water in the bathroom. “I was ____23____,” Jens said. “I remember feeling the ____24____ air come out with my hand over the vent. I realized solar power is for real. And it should be with us right now.” Three decades later, climate change has become a lively ____25____. “We’ve been ____26____ about it for a long time... We now have a strong sense of ____27____ and we have to do something,” Jens said. “It’s not an easy thing because there is no road map.” The couple soon had the idea to ____28____ Jens’ alma mater (母校), Denison University , and offer seed money for the solar development. Though the university ____29____ declined, they followed up months later with a ____30____ to install solar panels on a student housing building. “We realized by ____31____ startup money to some groups that want to do something but are still not financially committed, we could ____32____ our desire,” Jens said.

Sitting in the corner of the class, he was very much a loner. At the beginning of the semester, Oliver had a new classmate, Alan, who had just returned to England. Alan was assigned a seat next to Oliver. To his surprise, within weeks, he became good friends with Alan even though they were poles apart in personality. Alan was popular, outspoken and artistic. “Alan is all that I want to be,” Oliver thought to himself. He began listening to the music Alan listened to and having similar haircut. He even quit his drama club and started playing the online games that Alan played. He seemed to have been out of his loneliness. It was not long before Oliver was introduced to Alan’s “cool” friends. He told himself that he would try all means to be part of the group. He would follow them to the football games and join the art club after school so he could spend more time hanging out with them. Oliver followed them around laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions—most enthusiastically at the ones he disagreed with. He did not dare to differ in opinions as he would not want them to think badly of him. This continued for several months. At last, Oliver felt relieved that he had finally fitted in. One day, Oliver overheard Alan and his cool friends talking. “Oliver is such a loser,” one boy commented in a playful tone. “He just follows you around trying to be you. He copies you; he does not have a personality of his own!” another boy exclaimed. Alan laughed, to make matters worse, he added, “That fellow wears me out. I wish he would leave me alone. He thinks we are best friends. A thorough fool!” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Oliver stood still to the ground and could not believe his ears. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Oliver decided to change himself after hearing his mother’s words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Oliver stood still to the ground and could not believe his ears. Trembling and sobbing, he collapsed on the ground, feeling alone and betrayed. He had no choice but to cry all the way back home. Seeing his mother, he couldn’t contain his sorrow, pouring the incident out to her, who would always be there for him whenever he felt down. Stroking her trembling boy, the mother said gently, “just be yourself, Son! People will like you for who you are. ” Oliver had heard the remarks a million times before, yet he never truly got the point. Suddenly, it all clicked. Paragraph 2: Oliver decided to change himself after hearing his mother’s words. He bought a new schoolbag and chose a haircut he fancied. He dropped his art class and joined the drama club. He made new friends who liked him for who he was. He rediscovered himself. If he had not been given the chance, he might have been too concerned with “fitting in” desperately to experience some of the “best” times of his life. It dawned on him that despite the pain he felt that day, it was a gift they had given him, which taught him to be himself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了奥利弗性格内向，不愿与人交往，直到艾伦的出现，他和艾伦成为了好朋友，且想要融入艾伦和他的“酷”朋友群体，一天，他得知艾伦并不是真心当他为朋友，非常伤心，母亲告诉他只要做自己就好，之后他改变了自己，追求自己喜欢的东西，并结交新朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“奥利弗一动不动地站在地上，不敢相信自己的耳朵。”及第二段首句可知，第一段可描写奥利弗得知真相十分伤心，并回家求助母亲及母亲的教导。 ②由第二段首句内容“听完母亲的话，奥利弗决定改变自己。”可知，第二段可描写奥利弗如何改变自己，成为自己，追求自己喜欢的东西并结交新朋友和自己的感悟。 2.续写线索：无法相信——十分伤心——向母亲倾诉——母亲教导做自己——决定改变——加入戏剧社、交新朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/catch sight of ②放弃：drop/quit/give up 情绪类 ①消沉地：down/downhearted/in low spirits ②不顾一切地：desperately/ eagerly/ recklessly 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Before long, one of his students came in. “He is getting antsy; he’s kind of looking bored,” Irby recalled. “I’m looking at this student (thinking), ‘He should be practicing his reading.’ But I didn’t have a book.” That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he started Barbershop Books. Since 2013, the nonprofit has brought more than 50,000 free children’s books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly Black neighborhoods across the country. According to Irby, they are putting books in a male-centered space. “Less than 2% of teachers are Black males and many Black boys are raised by single moms. Black boys don’t see Black men reading.” So, Irby involves the barbers in his mission—training them to engage boys about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was, or tell them about another book another kid was reading.” Irby believes that talking about books with a Black man can be powerful for the boys he serves. “Our goal is not to turn barbers into tutors,” he said. “This is an opportunity to provide boys with male role models.” Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to forego that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.” And that’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.” 4. What inspired Irby to launch the project Barbershop Books? A. His encounter with his student in the barber’s. B. His childhood experience in his neighborhood. C. His bad impression on Black men. D. Barbers’ enthusiasm and generosity. 5. What does Irby intend the barbers to do in the project? A. To collect books for Black boys. B. To set a good example as a behaved citizen. C. To help Black boys comprehend books. D. To draw Black boys to reading. 6. What does the underlined word “forego” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Give up. B. Build up. C. Give away. D. Open up. 7. What has contributed to the success of the project? A. Black boys’ increased interest in reading. B. New policies concerning barbers’ shops. C. Irby’s firm belief in the power of reading. D. Effective cooperation between Irby and Denny Moe. C When Mark Twain first set eyes on Honolulu in 1866, he observed that the trees were so thick that they blocked the sunlight, rocks from past volcanic eruptions covered the corals — and lovely cats were everywhere. Nearly 160 years later, however, the descendants (后代) of the cats that so pleased Twain are now widely seen as a threat to the islands. The wild cat, explains the Hawaii Invasive (侵入的) Species Council (HISC), has become one of the state’s most “disastrous” animals. Cats were first brought to Hawaii aboard European colonists’ ships, where they killed rats and mice. As their number in their new home grew during the 19th century, birds started to disappear. At least 30 types of native bird became rarer or went extinct between 1870 and 1930 as they were exposed to their new enemies, according to the US Geological Survey. Toxoplasmosis (弓形虫病) is a disease caused by a parasite (寄生虫) that reproduces in the digestive systems of cats, and then pollutes soil and water through their faces (粪便). A new study determined that two spinner dolphins found on the Hawaiian coast died of toxoplasmosis. From these findings the authors suggest that at least 60 spinner dolphins have died of the parasite over the past 30 years. A bill that could have directed the HISC to kill cats using poisoned food, as Australia has done, died in the state legislature earlier this year. Animal-lovers prefer to focus on catching wild cats, removing their sex organs and releasing them so that they have no kittens. But HISC contends that such programmes do not actually help control cat numbers. Ms West suggests that people are too quick to blame the cats, when there is another cruel animal. “People have to stop abandoning these poor cats,” she says. “It’s not really a cat problem. It’s a human problem.” 8. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To stress Mark Twain’s impression on cats. B. To urge people to show love to cats. C To indicate the change of cats in the history. D. To lead in the topic of the wild cats in Hawaii. 9. What probably caused the decline of birds and dolphins? A. The loss of habitat. B. The infectious disease. C. The increase of cats. D. The polluted food. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Solutions to the problem. B. Influence on the society. C. Discovery of the phenomenon. D. Outcome of the situation. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Species Invasion Is Common in Hawaii B. Wild Cats Have Invaded Hawaii C. Humans Caused the Increase of Cats D. Getting Rid of Wild Cats in Hawaii D Toy giant Lego has given up on plans to make its bricks from recycled bottles, in a blow to its efforts to cut carbon emissions (排放). The company said in 2021 that it aimed to reduce oil-based bricks within two years. But Monday’s statement said it had found that using the new material didn’t reduce carbon emissions. Lego said it remains fully devoted to developing sustainable materials for bricks. The toy maker makes about 4, 400 different bricks. Currently, many of them are made using a plastic, ABS, mainly made from oil. The move, which was first reported in Financial Times, will be seen as a setback (挫折) after an open claim by Lego to improve its sustainability. Like many other companies, Lego has been exploring alternative materials to plastic that will be lasting enough for generations. In 2021, it said it had developed bricks made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, with some other chemicals added, to offer an alternative to oil-based bricks. But Lego has now discovered that after more than two years of testing, it had found that using recycled PET didn’t reduce carbon emissions. It said extra steps were required in the production process, which meant it needed to use more energy. It has decided not to progress with making bricks from the material, and now testing and developing bricks made from a range of alternative sustainable materials. Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of Lego, told the FT that it was hard to find “magic material” to fix the firm’s sustainability challenges. “We tested hundreds and hundreds of materials. It’s almost not been possible to find a material like that,” he said. A spokesperson for the company told the BBC, “We are investing more than $1. 2bn in sustainability move in the four years to 2025 as part of our efforts to turn to more sustainable materials and reduce our carbon emissions by 37% by 2032.” 12.

Afterward, a line of students stopped me before I could go out. They didn’t have questions about the lecture. ___16___ The students’ enthusiasm showed the anxiety about navigating (找到正确方法) opportunity-seeking. ___17___ We encourage people to earn a college degree. We cheer on people who seek raises. However, emotional difficulties in opportunity-seeking and -taking can lead to our feeling stuck in the process. Because you can’t control how an opportunity will pan out, making your self-worth contingent (依情况而定的) on it creates a ground for anxiety and fear. There are two ways that people try to deal with these feelings: avoiding opportunities and seeking them excessively. Opportunity-avoiders are too hesitant to follow through with pursuing opportunities. Since they are afraid of failure, they avoid having a try at the opportunity. ___18___ They might also turn down opportunities that come their way because they don’t feel confident enough to pursue them. Compulsive (难控制的) opportunity-seekers get excited by the idea of an opportunity itself rather than identifying what the opportunity will mean for their quality of life. They find it painful to pass up opportunities even when they don’t have time for them and might say “yes” to thankless tasks. ___19___ These two ways are well-intentioned but they are also self-defeating. The healthiest way to go about opportunity-seeking and -taking is building self-awareness. ___20___ Additionally, have a sense of what you want, which will help you choose opportunities more purposely and carefully. A. But I didn’t have any opportunities for them. B. They hesitate to ask for help, sometimes out of shame. C. Figure out whether your behavior is clouded by emotion. D. Rather, they were eager to seek a chance to work with me. E. Pursuing opportunity is a healthy behavior that society celebrates. F. It could also mean being patient for a better time to start a new opportunity. G. As can be imagined, overloading one’s schedule does not do much to improve self-worth. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Jeff Jens can clearly recall the first time when he realized solar power was the real deal.

He was quiet and preferred indoor activities. Sitting in the corner of the class, he was very much a loner. At the beginning of the semester, Oliver had a new classmate, Alan, who had just returned to England. Alan was assigned a seat next to Oliver. To his surprise, within weeks, he became good friends with Alan even though they were poles apart in personality. Alan was popular, outspoken and artistic. “Alan is all that I want to be,” Oliver thought to himself. He began listening to the music Alan listened to and having similar haircut. He even quit his drama club and started playing the online games that Alan played. He seemed to have been out of his loneliness. It was not long before Oliver was introduced to Alan’s “cool” friends. He told himself that he would try all means to be part of the group. He would follow them to the football games and join the art club after school so he could spend more time hanging out with them. Oliver followed them around laughing when they told jokes agreeing when they had opinions—most enthusiastically at the ones he disagreed with. He did not dare to differ in opinions as he would not want them to think badly of him. This continued for several months. At last, Oliver felt relieved that he had finally fitted in. One day, Oliver overheard Alan and his cool friends talking. “Oliver is such a loser,” one boy commented in a playful tone. “He just follows you around trying to be you. He copies you; he does not have a personality of his own!” another boy exclaimed. Alan laughed, to make matters worse, he added, “That fellow wears me out. I wish he would leave me alone. He thinks we are best friends. A thorough fool!” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Oliver stood still to the ground and could not believe his ears. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Oliver decided to change himself after hearing his mother’s words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
