B Since the Barkley Marathons started in 1986, over 1,000 ultramarathoners have entered, but only 20 people have ever finished within the 60-hour time limit—— they were all men. But on March 22,2024, Jasmin Paris, a 40-year-old senior veterinary (兽医的)lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, made history for being the first woman to finish the race. Paris came in fifth at 59 hours, 58 minutes, and 21 seconds, just making the cut-off, before collapsing at the finish line. The race happens every year at the Frozen Head State Park in Tennessee, in late March or early April. The course changes every year, but what remains the same is its length. The event consists of five loops(圈), each 20 miles long and off the track. These add up to the course being a tough 100 miles, consisting of an uneven forest area that includes 60,000 feet of climbing up and down. For reference, Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth, is29,031.7 feet high. Additionally, due to its intense pace, the racers do not have time to sleep during the entire 60-hour race. The Barkley Marathons, which is famous for its severe nature, is also known for its strange traditions. For example, the race doesn't start with the firing of a gun. Instead, racers set off when the race director lights a cigarette. Additionally, there is no official start time, and competitors who make it to the park on the right day are only informed of the race an hour beforehand by the sound of a conch (海螺) shell being blown. Despite the strange traditions of the competition, it is undeniably difficult to complete. And as impressive as Paris' achievement at the Barkley Marathons is, it is far from the only running record she has set. Last year she also attempted the race and became the first woman to begin the fourth loop. In an interview with The Guardian, Paris said, “I still find it really exciting to push myself, especially when I don't know whether I can do something. Besides, you also find out more about yourself, when you remove all the stuff that makes life easier.” 24. What made Jasmin Paris’ achievement at the Barkley Marathons significant? A. She finished the race in the shortest time. B. She broke the previous record for the race. C. She was the first woman to complete the race. D. She was the only runner to finish the fifth loop. 25. What's the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Jasmin Paris' past experiences. B. The history of the Barkley Marathons. C. The features of the Barkley Marathons. D. The reasons why Paris wanted to join in the race. 26. What is the Barkley Marathons noted for? A. Its long history. B. Its large number of participants. C. Its scenic route through Tennessee. D. Its severe nature and strange traditions. 27. What can be inferred about Jasmin Paris from the last paragraph? A. She is not satisfied with her performance. B. She finds the race challenging but exciting. C. She doubts her ability to complete the race. D. She plans to retire from running after this race. C They have killed skinny jeans and continue to shame millennials for having side partings in their hair. But now comes a surprising Gen Z plot twist. Those born between 1997 and2012 are reviving(复兴) reading—— it's physical books rather than digital that they are reading. This week the 22-year-old model Kai a Gerber launched her own book club, Library Science. Gerber describes it as “a platform for sharing books, featuring new writers, hosting conversations with artists we admire, and continuing to build a community of people who are as excited about literature as I am”. Gerber isn't alone. Last year in the UK, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded. Research from Nielsen Book Data highlights that it is print books that Gen Z favor, accounting for 80% of purchases from November 2022 to 2023.Libraries are also reporting a slight increase in Gen Z users who favor their quiet over noisy coffee shops. In the UK, in-person visits are up 71%. “The Gen Z book range is incredibly broad,” says Hali Brown, the 28-year-old co-founder of Books on the Bedside, a popular TikTok account devoted to Gen Z reading habits. “There is a lot of appreciation for literary fiction, memoirs, translated fiction and classics in particular,” says Brown. Gerber's first literary guest was the Iranian-American writer Kaveh Akbar, who joined the model on a video call to discuss his first novel, Martyr! The 28-year-old model Kendall Jenner became the unofficial face of this new “Lit Girls’ Club” when she was pictured on a ship reading Tonight I'm Someone Else, a collection of essays by Chelsea Hodson. After the photos of Jenner were published, there was a stream of online talk stating we had entered an era of performative reading. Brown speaks out her opinion, “I think whoever is eager to explore the world of reading shouldn't be shut down in this way because they' re beautiful or have large Internet presences. More people are reading and that's great.” 28. What was Kaia Gerber's book club aimed at? A. Promoting her modeling career. B. Competing with other book clubs. C. Criticizing teenagers' reading habits. D. Creating a literature-loving community. 29. How does the author illustrate Gen Z's new reading trend in paragraph 3? A. By listing figures. B. By drawing conclusions. C. By presenting reasons. D. By asking questions. 30. What is Brown's attitude towards Jenner's performative reading? A. Supportive. B. Curious. C. Disapproving. D. Confused. 31. Which of the following best serves as the title for the text? A. The Rise of Libraries in the Digital Age B. Gen Z's Revival in Reading: Books and Clubs C. The Decline of Digital Books Among the Young D. Teens’ Choices Online: Performance or Reading D Three atmospheric scientists at Colorado State University have found evidence suggesting that western boundary currents have a bigger impact on local climate variability than have been previously thought. In their paper published in the journal Nature, James Larson, David Thompson and James Hurrell describe how they used satellite data and numerical modeling to better understand the impact of western boundary currents on local climate variability and what they learned by doing so. Boundary currents are, as their names suggest, ocean currents that are impacted by coastlines associated with land masses. They fall under two main categories, eastern and western. Eastern boundary currents are those that have an eastern boundary, which means they run against the western coast of a land mass. Western boundary currents are the converse: In this new study, the researchers noted that prior research focusing on the impact of boundary currents has typically focused on mean climate impacts— western boundary currents, for example, are known to move huge amounts of warm water from the tropics(热带) to the mid-latitudes. Because of that, they have a major impact on wind, rain, and storms, in general. For this study, the researchers wanted to learn more about the role western boundary currents play in local weather variability. They analyzed high-resolution satellite images and used numerical models to find associations between factors such as sea surface temperatures(SSTs) and vertical motion in the atmosphere over western boundary currents in both hemispheres(半球). More specifically, they looked for associations between SSTs and circulation(环流) of air in the atmosphere on a month-by-month basis at a localized level. The researchers found what they describe as variability in SSTs and their influence on local atmospheric circulation, which has an impact on rainfall amounts and the vertical rise and fall of air in the atmosphere. The team sums up their findings by suggesting their work has shown that there is a mechanism that connects ocean processes to local climate variability. They suggest this finding could have an impact on weather forecasting models. 32. What was the main focus of the study? A. Predicting future changes in ocean ecosystems. B. Developing new methods for ocean current mapping. C. How the researchers employ data from satellites scientifically. D. How western boundary currents influence local weather change. 33. What does the underlined word “converse” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Strange. D. Flexible. 34. What is the difference of the study compared to the prior one? A. It focused on more specific points. B. It paid more attention to the locals. C. It looked at rainfall trend more carefully. D. It took more time to achieve a high level. 35. What does the author intend to tell us about the study in the last paragraph? A. Its principle. B. Its challenges. C. Its application. D. Its process. 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。 Buying green bananas, or any unripe fruit for that matter, is a test of faith. 36 But sometimes, when you buy green bananas from the store, they simply refuse to turn, no matter how long you wait. So what should you do? Placing your bananas in a paper bag for a day or two to help the process along is the first trick to try. 37 Putting the fruit in a paper bag traps the gas near the fruit, causing it to ripen faster. But what if your bananas never turn into their ripe yellow color? 38 Not really. As it turns out, green bananas may be healthier than yellow bananas. That is because the green versions contain more resistant starch (淀粉) and take longer to digest than their yellow counterparts, leaving you fuller for longer. That starch turns to sugar as the banana ripens. 39 So, while you may have to put more effort into enjoying a green banana than a ripe yellow one, there's plenty to do with the green fruit you have lying around. Here are things you can do with bananas that won't turn. If you want to try a new dish using green bananas, slice them into fries as you would do with potatoes or sweet potatoes, and then fry them. 40 If you have a strong blender(搅拌机), you can take those green bananas and throw them into your morning smoothie. You won't even be able to taste green bananas, and you'll still get all the health benefits. Whichever route you go, take comfort in knowing that you won't throw away those green bananas, and you may even buy them on purpose next time. A. Are they a lost cause? B. Is eating green bananas normal? C. When fruit ripens, it gives off a gas. D. Now you've got an addictive, delicious treat. E. You assume that they'll soon ripen and be perfect to eat. F. You'll want to prepare boiled green bananas with the skin on. G. So green bananas are preferred by whoever limits sugar intake. 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。 My wife, Hannah, and I don't usually keep houseplants.

At LSO St Luke's, two actors dressed in Peking Opera clothes 57 (deliver) their recitative lines in the traditional style, accompanied by an orchestra performing Richard Strauss's symphonic poem Ein Heldenleben. 58 (base) on Strauss's iconic composition, the symphony poetry drama Ein Heldenleben: Cai Lun offers a glimpse into the life and 59 (emotion) struggles of Cai Lun, the inventor of the paper-making process during China's Han Dynasty. “I think it's unique and imaginative, and I'm amazed at 60 the drama of the story seems to fit in so amazingly well with the music,” Alison Kiln said after 61 (watch) the show, adding that she had never experienced 62 live performance as “amazing” as this before. Raffaello Morales, conductor and founder of the London-based orchestra, said that it was not the first instance of combining different art forms, 63 the integration of symphony and Peking Opera represented a new exploration. Chen Xinyi, the director of the production, said that she believed the show would be“ 64 (incredible) satisfying” and hoped it would help people from overseas learn about the great 65 (individual) of China, their personalities, and their inspiring spirits. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 假定你是高三学生李华，你校国际班将召开迎新会，邀请你在会上用英语发言，帮助高一新生适应高中生活。内容包括： 1.表示欢迎；2.提出建议；3.表达祝愿。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, Thank you! 第二节 (满分25分) 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。 “Somebody will get laughed at,” announced May Jordan. Frozen by fear, the group of students surrounding May silently hoped that her latest victim wasn't among them, but they knew full well that there was always a chance. I loved school. But since May had transferred (转学) in, our school had become an uncomfortable place. At about five feet eight inches, May was the tallest kid in our fifth grade class. She routinely played jokes on innocent third graders who were too afraid to defend themselves. I had managed to keep silent, and I wanted to keep it that way. But all that changed when I showed up for school one morning with a new hairstyle. It all started when my best friend, Jaime, said my hair looked nice. I noticed May's unfriendly eyes; it made me uncomfortable, but I remained focused on my math worksheet. Then came May's frightening claim across the room: “Nice braid(发辫). Somebody might cut it off.” I was scared. But what really sent me into desperation was when May moved her fingers to imitate (模仿) a pair of scissors in motion. My stomach dropped to my knees, and I immediately came up with a plan, which involved hiding out in the bathroom at the end of the school day so as to avoid running into May on the walk home. I awoke the next morning with a start and hurried to the bathroom to watch my mother get ready for work. “What's wrong, Courtney?” my mother asked. I told my mother the whole story. My mother said seriously, “She makes merry by making others scared. That's all. Don't be afraid of her, Courtney. If she can see that you' re not afraid, she will stop. I'll bet she's like everybody else—— she just wants to fit in and make friends. Perhaps she just doesn't know how.” 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。 With my mother's words rolling in my head, I decided to do something. Unexpectedly, May smiled and agreed to go to my house after school with me. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
