Digital copies of IDs are now accepted for faster check-in.(身份证明：18岁及以上的游客必须出示有效的政府签发的带照片的身份证明（护照、驾照或州身份证）。为了更快地办理进入手续，现在接受身份证的电子版)”可知，18岁以上游客必须提供政府签发的带照片有效身份证件(护照、驾照等)，且数字ID也被接受。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“IMAX Theater: Enjoy breathtaking documentaries on a giant screen. Adults: $9.50 | Children (2–12): $7.50 | Seniors (65+): $8.50(IMAX影院：在巨大的屏幕上欣赏令人惊叹的纪录片。成人：9.5美元；儿童（2-12岁）：7.5美元；老年人（65岁以上）：8.5美元)”计算：2位成人：$9.50×2 = $19.00，1位老人：$8.50，1位儿童(10岁)：$7.50，合计：$19.00 + $8.50 + $7.50 = $35.00。故选B项。 B In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 24. What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A. His attention to neighborhood safety. B. The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C. His interest in environmental science. D. The need for an invention competition. 25. How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A. By providing paid STEM education. B. By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C. By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D. By selling invention presentation skills. 26 What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A. Commitment. B. Intelligence. C. Curiosity. D. Leadership. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Damian’s siblings’ inventions are more practical than his. B. The invention process has influenced the whole family’s way of thinking. C. Damian’s father plans to apply his children’s inventions to his business. D. Damian’s siblings only followed his example for the sake of awards. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了12岁的Damian Earley因看到被风吹倒的垃圾桶而受到启发，发明了The Garbage Lot，并获得了奖项，他的发明过程也影响了他的家人和父亲的事业。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立).(2018年，12岁的Damian Earley在遛狗时，注意到垃圾桶被风吹倒，垃圾散落在哥伦布社区的街道上。他对这种环境破坏感到不安，于是受到启发，发明了The Garbage Lot，这是一个带有锁定装置的沉重平台，可以让垃圾桶保持直立。)”可知，是垃圾桶倒下造成的混乱促使Damian创造了The Garbage Lot。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship, which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created.(通过亲自动手的发明竞赛，他学会了向评委“推销”自己的发明。撰写和制作演示文稿有助于提高他的沟通技巧和创业能力，这对于未来的就业市场至关重要，因为学生们可能会从事尚未创造的工作。)”可知，OIL项目通过促进创业思维让学生为未来的工作做好准备。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.”(Damian的老师，尤其是Sarah Priebe，很欣赏他强烈的工作道德。她回忆起Damian在八年级时的出色口头报告：“你可以看出他投入了大量的时间和练习。许多有天赋的学生似乎不需要那么努力就能在学校取得优异成绩，但他总是全神贯注，随时准备着。)”可知，Damian的努力和投入给他的老师留下了深刻印象。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business.(Damian的兄弟姐妹Elena和Zavier追随他的脚步，创造了自己的发明并获得了奖项。14岁的Elena发明了一种去除洗衣机异味的装置，而11岁的Zavier为行动不便的人发明了一种无人机。他们的父亲Matt分享说，观看发明过程改变了他处理黑胶唱片业务中问题的方式。)”可知，发明过程影响了整个家庭的思维方式。故选B。 C Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km (6 miles) away. With data from weather radars and bird counts an international team of researchers revealed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. “Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, ”says ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam. In the scientific journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, the researchers therefore argue for large fireworks-free zones. Last year, other researchers at IBED discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend an average of 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time to restore their energy to their former condition, after fleeing from the fireworks. Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius of 2. 5 km of inhabited areas, the consequences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. “Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests and semi-open habitats. In addition, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance.” The authors argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live. Hoekstra: “These buffer zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far, such as near forests. Furthermore, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone shows or decorative fireworks without very loud bangs.” 28. What can we learn about the research? A. It’s the first one about fireworks’ effects on birds. B. It’s conducted by collecting data from weather radars. C. It shows the extent of the fireworks’ influence on birds. D. It keeps track of birds throughout Netherlands and beyond. 29. Why did geese spend more time looking for food? A. To make up for the lost energy. B. To store more food in case. C. To find a new source of energy. D. To find a place without fireworks. 30. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Para. 4 mean? A. Predictable. B. Noticeable. C. Admirable. D. Avoidable. 31. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Panic in the air B. Fireworks-free zones C. Fireworks in the world D. Birds throughout the country 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了烟花对鸟类的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km (6 miles) away. (阿姆斯特丹大学的生态学家巴特·胡克斯特拉领导的研究表明，除夕夜大量燃放烟花爆竹会影响到10公里（6英里）外的鸟类。)”可知，这项研究告诉读者燃放烟花对鸟类的影响程度。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, other researchers at IBED discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend an average of 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time to restore their energy to their former condition, after fleeing from the fireworks. (去年，IBED的其他研究人员发现，鹅受到烟花的影响很大，至少在接下来的11天里，它们寻找食物的时间平均比正常情况长10%。在逃离烟火之后，他们显然需要时间将精力恢复到以前的状态。)”可知，在逃离烟花之后，它们需要这段时间来补充失去的精力，以恢复到以前的状态。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius of 2.5 km of inhabited areas, the consequences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. (由于荷兰62%的鸟类生活在居民区半径2.5公里的范围内，因此烟花对全国所有鸟类的影响都很大。)”和划线词后“near forests and semi-open habitats (在森林和半开放的栖息地附近)”可知，烟花对离居民区近的鸟类影响很大，在森林和半开放的栖息地附近，烟花对鸟类的影响不那么明显。所以划线词的含义为“显著的、明显的”A. Predictable可预测的；B. Noticeable显著的；C. Admirable令人钦佩的；D. Avoidable可避免的。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km(6 miles)away. (阿姆斯特丹大学的生态学家巴特·胡克斯特拉领导的研究表明，除夕夜大量燃放烟花爆竹会影响到10公里（6英里）外的鸟类)”可知，文章主要介绍了烟花对鸟类的影响。A选项中in the air 暗指鸟类，panic 指烟花带来的影响，故选项A“Panic in the air (空气中弥漫着恐慌)”为最佳答案。故选A。 D The Internet is often criticized as a source of many modern-day challenges, from comparison traps and information overload to negativity biases. These issues are closely associated with our digital culture, raising concerns about its impact on mental health and social well-being. However, a new study by the Oxford Internet Institute suggests that the Internet’ s role in our lives is not entirely negative. In fact, it may also be a significant driver of life satisfaction and social well-being for many people. The study, which analyzed data from 168 countries between 2006 and 2021, involved over two million participants aged 15 to 99. Researchers examined eight indicators of well-being, including life satisfaction, daily positive and negative experiences, and community well-being. The findings revealed that in 85% of cases, Internet access and active Internet use were associated with higher levels of well-being. For the majority of individuals, the Internet serves as a powerful tool for connection, education, and personal growth. It enables people to access valuable resources, maintain relationships, and engage with communities, all of which contribute to a sense of fulfillment and happiness. However, the study also identified a notable exception. In 5% of cases, Internet use was linked to negative outcomes, particularly among young women aged 15 to 24. They reported lower levels of well-being, a finding congruent with previous research that linked increased Internet usage to depression in young women and teenage girls. The reasons for this are complex but may include factors such as cyberbullying, social media-induced comparison, and the pressure to follow unrealistic online standards. The timing of this research is significant, as governments worldwide are considering new laws and guidelines to address concerns about online safety. The researchers ask policymakers to carefully consider the data before carrying out new laws, emphasizing that while the Internet can have negative effects, it also has the potential to be a positive force. With proper guidance, education, and safety measures, the Internet can continue to enhance well-being for many. In conclusion, while the Internet is not without its challenges, its impact on society is multifaceted (多方面的). For most, it is a source of connection, knowledge, and empowerment. By addressing its downsides and making use of its benefits, we can create a digital environment that supports and enriches lives globally. 32. What do the findings of the new study mainly show? A. Young people are the main users of the Internet. B. The Internet is criticized for information overload. C. Adults benefit more from the Internet than other age groups. D. Internet access is linked to higher levels of well-being in most cases. 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Oxford Internet Institute’s study only analyzed data from developed countries between 2006 and 2021. B. Internet use has a negative impact on everyone’s mental health and social well-being. C. Cyberbullying and social media-induced comparison may contribute to the negative outcomes of Internet use among young women. D. New laws addressing online safety have already been carried out in all countries. 34. What do the researchers suggest policymakers do? A. Give careful consideration to their findings. B. Underline the advantages of the Internet more. C. Make strict laws to monitor the Internet companies. D. Carry out new laws instantly to ensure online safety. 35. Based on the passage, which of the following can be inferred about the future of the Internet? A. It will be completely free of negative impacts if proper safety measures are implemented. B. It is likely to see more targeted policies that balance its benefits and risks. C. The negative effects on young women will disappear as new laws are passed. D. Its role in promoting social well-being will gradually decrease over time. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了尽管有担忧，互联网对幸福感有积极影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“In fact, it may also be a significant driver of life satisfaction and social well-being for many people. (事实上，它也可能是许多人生活满意度和社会福祉的重要驱动力。)”以及第二段中“The findings revealed that in 85% of cases, Internet access and active Internet use were associated with higher levels of well-being. (研究结果显示，在85%的情况下，互联网接入和积极使用互联网与更高水平的幸福感有关。)”可知，新研究的调查结果主要表明上网与更高水平的生活福祉相关。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“They reported lower levels of well-being, a finding congruent with previous research that linked increased Internet usage to depression in young women and teenage girls. The reasons for this are complex but may include factors such as cyberbullying, social media-induced comparison, and the pressure to follow unrealistic online standards. (他们报告的幸福感水平较低，这一发现与之前的研究一致，该研究将年轻女性和少女的互联网使用增加与抑郁联系起来。造成这种情况的原因很复杂，但可能包括网络欺凌、社交媒体引发的攀比以及遵循不切实际的网络标准的压力等因素。)”可知，网络欺凌和社交媒体诱导的比较可能导致年轻女性使用互联网的负面结果。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“The researchers ask policymakers to carefully consider the data before carrying out new laws, emphasizing that while the Internet can have negative effects, it also has the potential to be a positive force. (研究人员要求政策制定者在实施新法律之前仔细考虑这些数据，并强调尽管互联网可能产生负面影响，但它也有可能成为一种积极的力量。)”可知，研究人员建议政策制定者仔细考虑他们的研究结果。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段“The researchers ask policymakers to carefully consider the data before carrying out new laws, emphasizing that while the Internet can have negative effects, it also has the potential to be a positive force. With proper guidance, education, and safety measures, the Internet can continue to enhance well-being for many. (研究人员要求政策制定者在实施新法律之前仔细考虑这些数据，并强调尽管互联网可能产生负面影响，但它也有可能成为一种积极的力量。通过适当的指导、教育和安全措施，互联网可以继续增进许多人的福祉。)”可知，未来的互联网可能会看到更有针对性的政策，以平衡其收益和风险。故选B。 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。 Music and history have a unique relationship.

B In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 24. What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A. His attention to neighborhood safety. B. The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C. His interest in environmental science. D. The need for an invention competition. 25. How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A. By providing paid STEM education. B. By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C. By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D. By selling invention presentation skills. 26. What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A. Commitment. B. Intelligence. C. Curiosity. D. Leadership. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Damian’s siblings’ inventions are more practical than his. B. The invention process has influenced the whole family’s way of thinking. C. Damian’s father plans to apply his children’s inventions to his business. D. Damian’s siblings only followed his example for the sake of awards. C Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km (6 miles) away With data from weather radars and bird counts an international team of researchers revealed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. “Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, ”says ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam. In the scientific journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, the researchers therefore argue for large fireworks-free zones. Last year, other researchers at IBED discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend an average of 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time to restore their energy to their former condition, after fleeing from the fireworks. Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius of 2. 5 km of inhabited areas, the consequences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. “Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests and semi-open habitats. In addition, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance.” The authors argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live. Hoekstra: “These buffer zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far, such as near forests. Furthermore, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone shows or decorative fireworks without very loud bangs.” 28. What can we learn about the research? A. It’s the first one about fireworks’ effects on birds. B. It’s conducted by collecting data from weather radars. C. It shows the extent of the fireworks’ influence on birds. D. It keeps track of birds throughout Netherlands and beyond. 29. Why did geese spend more time looking for food? A. To make up for the lost energy. B. To store more food in case. C. To find a new source of energy. D. To find a place without fireworks. 30. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Para. 4 mean? A. Predictable. B. Noticeable. C. Admirable. D. Avoidable. 31. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Panic in the air B. Fireworks-free zones C. Fireworks in the world D. Birds throughout the country D The Internet is often criticized as a source of many modern-day challenges, from comparison traps and information overload to negativity biases. These issues are closely associated with our digital culture, raising concerns about its impact on mental health and social well-being. However, a new study by the Oxford Internet Institute suggests that the Internet’ s role in our lives is not entirely negative. In fact, it may also be a significant driver of life satisfaction and social well-being for many people. The study, which analyzed data from 168 countries between 2006 and 2021, involved over two million participants aged 15 to 99. Researchers examined eight indicators of well-being, including life satisfaction, daily positive and negative experiences, and community well-being. The findings revealed that in 85% of cases, Internet access and active Internet use were associated with higher levels of well-being. For the majority of individuals, the Internet serves as a powerful tool for connection, education, and personal growth. It enables people to access valuable resources, maintain relationships, and engage with communities, all of which contribute to a sense of fulfillment and happiness. However, the study also identified a notable exception. In 5% of cases, Internet use was linked to negative outcomes, particularly among young women aged 15 to 24. They reported lower levels of well-being, a finding congruent with previous research that linked increased Internet usage to depression in young women and teenage girls. The reasons for this are complex but may include factors such as cyberbullying, social media-induced comparison, and the pressure to follow unrealistic online standards. The timing of this research is significant, as governments worldwide are considering new laws and guidelines to address concerns about online safety. The researchers ask policymakers to carefully consider the data before carrying out new laws, emphasizing that while the Internet can have negative effects, it also has the potential to be a positive force. With proper guidance, education, and safety measures, the Internet can continue to enhance well-being for many. In conclusion, while the Internet is not without its challenges, its impact on society is multifaceted (多方面的). For most, it is a source of connection, knowledge, and empowerment. By addressing its downsides and making use of its benefits, we can create a digital environment that supports and enriches lives globally. 32. What do the findings of the new study mainly show? A. Young people are the main users of the Internet. B. The Internet is criticized for information overload. C. Adults benefit more from the Internet than other age groups. D. Internet access is linked to higher levels of well-being in most cases. 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Oxford Internet Institute’s study only analyzed data from developed countries between 2006 and 2021. B. Internet use has a negative impact on everyone’s mental health and social well-being. C. Cyberbullying and social media-induced comparison may contribute to the negative outcomes of Internet use among young women. D. New laws addressing online safety have already been carried out in all countries. 34. What do the researchers suggest policymakers do? A. Give careful consideration to their findings. B. Underline the advantages of the Internet more. C. Make strict laws to monitor the Internet companies. D. Carry out new laws instantly to ensure online safety. 35. Based on the passage, which of the following can be inferred about the future of the Internet? A. It will be completely free of negative impacts if proper safety measures are implemented. B. It is likely to see more targeted policies that balance its benefits and risks. C. The negative effects on young women will disappear as new laws are passed. D. Its role in promoting social well-being will gradually decrease over time. 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。 Music and history have a unique relationship.
