【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Bluest Eye部分中“It tells a story of Pecola Breedlove, a young African American girl who dreams of having blue eyes a sign of acceptance in a world ruled by white conceptions of beauty. (它讲述了年轻的非裔美国女孩佩科拉·布里德洛夫的故事,她梦想着拥有蓝眼睛——因为在一个由白人审美观念主导的世界里,这是被认可的标志)”可知,如果你想读一个关于想变美的女孩的故事,应该选择《最蓝的眼睛》。故选A项。
B
On her 53rd birthday, Debra Ferrell received the usual well-wishes on Facebook, but she also got some unusual messages. One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother, autistic (自闭症) and nonverbal, was struggling with grief. They were reaching out to Ferrell, seeking any possible support. “Could you bring him some comfort?” they asked with deep sadness.
Ferrell’s heart ached when she read the message. She knew she had to do something. She sent them a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near.” written on the clapper. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. Ferrell says, “I hope it brings him some comfort. Sometimes, a small gesture can mean the world to someone going through a tough time.”
This is not the first time that Ferrell decided to give gifts for her birthday. In fact, for her 47th birthday in 2014, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and beyond. Its motto is simple: Be Love, Do Stuff. “I believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference,” Ferrell explains. “It’s amazing to see the joy on people’s faces when you do something unexpected for them.”
To celebrate her 53rd birthday, Ferrell decided to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month. She put out a call on her Facebook page, asking for information on people who could use a little help. Over the years, she has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found through Facebook callouts, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shares her favourite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. Her grandkids often join her on these missions, making it a family affair. “It’s amazing to see the joy on people’s faces,” she says. “And it’s even more rewarding when my grandkids are involved. They learn the value of kindness and compassion.”
Ferrell funds all these acts of kindness herself. She buys gift cards, makes pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, sends care packages, and even covers the gas to deliver these surprises. Her family often gives her extra birthday cash, jokingly warning her not to spend it on others, but she always does. “I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my birthday this year and was like YESSS!” she says with a laugh. “It’s my party, and I’ll give if I want to!”
4. On Deba Ferrell’s 53rd birthday, what did she receive?
A. Invitations to give a speech at a community event.
B. Beautiful birthday gifts from Love with Skin On.
C. Unique birthday wishes with moving stories.
D. Messages calling for help.
5. What does Deba Ferrell do on Pinterest?
A. She lets her grandkids participate in family activities.
B. She introduces innovative ideas.
C. She buys presents for strangers.
D. She distributes care packages.
6. What description matches Deba Ferrell most accurately?
A. Warm-hearted and generous.
B. Aggressive and demanding.
C. Modest and cautious.
D. Logical and cold.
7. What meaning does the story express?

C
Scientists have discovered a new and renewable source of water on the moon for future explorers in lunar samples from a Chinese mission.
Water was stored in tiny glass beads (珠子) in the lunar dirt where meteorite (陨石) impacts occur. These shiny, multicolored glass beads were in samples returned from the moon by China in 2020. The beads range in size from the width of one hair to several hairs; the water content was just a very small part of that, according to Hui HeJiu of Nanjing University, who took part in the study.
Since there are billions if not trillions of these impact beads, that could amount to substantial amounts of water, but mining it would be tough, according to the team. “Yes, it will require lots and lots of glass beads. There are lots and lots of beads on the moon,” said Hui in an email.
“These beads could continually yield water thanks to the constant bombardment by hydrogen in the solar wind. The findings are based on 32 glass beads randomly selected from lunar dirt returned from the Chang’e 5 moon mission. Therefore, more samples will be studied,” said Hui.
These impact beads are everywhere, the result of the cooling of melted material pushed out by incoming space rocks. Water could be got by heating the beads, possibly by future robotic missions. “More studies are needed to determine whether this would be feasible and, if so, whether the water would be safe to drink. This shows water can be recharged on the moon’s surface…a new water reservoir on the moon,” said Hui.
Previous studies found water in glass beads formed by lunar volcanic activities, based on samples returned by the Apollo moonwalkers more than a half-century ago. These, too, could provide water not only for use by future crews, but for rocket fuel.
8. Why is it tough to collect water from the glass beads on the moon?
A. The temperature of the beads is high.
B. The beads are extremely tough to break.
C. The beads are so tiny that they are invisible.
D. The beads contain only a tiny amount of water.
9. Why are glass beads constantly producing water?
A. Because of the continuous hydrogen from the solar wind.
B. Because of the huge number of glass beads on the moon.
C. Because of the influence of meteorite.
D. Because of glass beads getting hot.
10. What does Hui intend to express in paragraph 5?
A. Researchers must conduct further investigations about water on the moon.
B. The moon’s water resources should be used to create electrical energy.
C. The water on the moon could be accessible to explorers someday.
D. The moon’s water is collected in a reservoir.
11. Which title fits the passage best?
A. Scientists Carried out an Investigation about Water On The Moon
B. China Achieved Lunar Sample Collection Successfully
C. Glass Beads Could Serve as Water Storage Containers
D. Scientists Has Found Water in Lunar Glass Beads
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家在月球玻璃珠中发现水资源及其相关情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The beads range in size from the width of one hair to several hairs; the water content was just a very small part of that, according to Hui HeJiu of Nanjing University, who took part in the study.(据参与研究的南京大学的Hui HeJiu介绍,这些珠子的大小从一根头发的宽度到几根头发的宽度不等;含水量只是其中很小的一部分)”可知,玻璃珠中含水量极少,因此从月球玻璃珠中收集水困难。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “These beads could continually yield water thanks to the constant bombardment by hydrogen in the solar wind.(由于太阳风中的氢不断轰击,这些珠子可以不断产生水)” 可知,玻璃珠不断产生水是因为太阳风中持续的氢。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的 “Water could be got by heating the beads, possibly by future robotic missions. “More studies are needed to determine whether this would be feasible and, if so, whether the water would be safe to drink. This shows water can be recharged on the moon’s surface…a new water reservoir on the moon,” said Hui.(水可以通过加热这些玻璃珠来获取,未来的机器人任务可能会实现这一点。Hui说:“需要开展更多研究来确定这是否可行,若可行,还要研究这些水是否可以安全饮用。这表明月球表面的水可以得到补充…… 月球上出现了一个新的水源。”)”可知,惠意在表达未来探索者可能会使用月球上的水。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Scientists have discovered a new and renewable source of water on the moon for future explorers in lunar samples from a Chinese mission.(科学家在中国某次任务的月球样本中为未来的探索者发现了一种新的可再生水资源)”及下文对月球玻璃珠中水资源的介绍可知,本文主要讲科学家在月球玻璃珠中发现了水,因此“科学家在月球玻璃珠中发现水”可以概括文章主题,最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
D
According to Dr. John Swaddle, a professor at the Institute for Integrative Conservation at William & amp; Mary hundreds of millions of birds die every year from window collisions (碰撞).
However, if you put decals (贴花纸) or colorful stickers outside of your windows, the birds are more likely to see the barrier and therefore avoid it. Remember: never inside your window; always outside of your window.
“Double-glazed (双层的) windows reflect a lot of light, especially when you view them from a slight angle, as a flying bird would do,”Swaddle told Salon. He is the corresponding author of a recent study which tries to figure out how this basic reality of physics impacts on a bird’s experience as it flies near a standard window. For their experiment, researchers had birds perform repeated and controlled flight trials near windows with film (薄膜) products, BirdShades film and Haverkamp film, respectively.
“In our collision avoidance trials, BirdShades increased window avoidance by 47% and the Haverkamp increased avoidance by 39%. But neither product was effective when the films were applied to the internal surface of windows,” the authors concluded.
When breaking down the problem of avoiding window collisions from a bird’s point of view Swaddle explained, “The light and reflected imagery from the external surface of the glass is sufficient to obscure a film or decal that is stuck to the inner surface from being seen clearly.”
If you want to protect birds from easily avoidable deaths without buying window film products, there are other solutions. Swaddle recommended “pleasing fritted glass that could be used in new construction and which is also bird-friendly”. Besides, he notes that screens can be helpful as well, not only by limiting reflectiveness but by providing birds with a cushion if they make impact. It is also possible to use everyday household objects to signal to birds that there are barriers—netting, bits of string, colorful stickers, and paint. These can all be used to this effect.
12. What can we do to reduce bird window collisions?
A. Decorating the inside of windows with decals.
B. Applying stickers to the outside of windows.
C. Selecting windows with two layers of glass.
D. Keeping windows closed at night.
13. What are the researchers trying to figure out in their experiments?
A. The effective ways to avoid collisions.
B. The eco-friendly glass and films designed for birds.
C. The relationship between light bounce and bird window collisions.
D. The responses of birds when they suddenly hitting the shiny windows.
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 5?
A. Apply. B. Shade. C. Preserve. D. Discover.
15. What could we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Solutions to prevent birds from hitting windows.
B. Methods to lower the cost of windows.
C. Eco-friendly glass materials.
D. Bird-attracting objects.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述鸟类因窗户碰撞导致的死亡问题,以及通过实验和研究提出的减少碰撞的多种方法,如使用外部贴纸、薄膜产品和日常物品等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, if you put decals (贴花纸)or colorful stickers outside of your windows, the birds are more likely to see the barrier and therefore avoid it. (然而,如果你在窗外贴上贴纸或彩色贴纸,鸟类更有可能看到障碍物,从而避开障碍物。”可知,在窗外贴上贴纸或彩色贴纸,鸟类更有可能看到障碍物,从而避开。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Double-glazed (双层的) windows reflect a lot of light, especially when you view them from a slight angle, as a flying bird would do,” Swaddle told Salon. He is the corresponding author of a recent study which tries to figure out how this basic reality of physics impacts on a bird’s experience as it flies near a standard window. (“双层玻璃窗户反射了很多光,尤其是当你从一个小角度看它们的时候,就像一只飞行的鸟一样,”Swaddle告诉Salon。他是最近一项研究的通讯作者,该研究试图弄清楚这一基本物理现实如何影响鸟类在标准窗口附近飞行时的体验)”可知,实验的目的是弄清光的反射和鸟类撞窗之间的联系。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“When breaking down the problem of avoiding window collisions from a bird’s point of view, Swaddle explained, ‘The light and reflected imagery from the external surface of the glass is sufficient to obscure a film or decal that is stuck to the inner surface from being seen clearly. ’(当从鸟的角度分析避免窗户碰撞的问题时, Swaddle解释道,‘玻璃外表面的光线和反射图像足以obscure粘在内表面的薄膜或贴花,使其看不清。’)”可知,玻璃外表面的光线和反射图像使得看不清粘在内表面的薄膜或贴花了,所以应该是遮挡住了粘在内表面的薄膜或贴花。由此猜测,obscure的意思应该是“遮挡;遮蔽:使朦胧”,和B选项意思一致。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“If you want to protect birds from easily avoidable deaths without buying window film products, there are other solutions. Swaddle recommended ‘pleasing fritted glass that could be used in new construction and which is also bird-friendly’. Besides, he notes that screens can be helpful as well, not only by limiting reflectiveness but by providing birds with a cushion if they make impact. It is also possible to use everyday household objects to signal to birds that there are barriers—netting, bits of string, colorful stickers, and paint. These can all be used to this effect. (如果你想在不购买窗膜产品的情况下保护鸟类免受容易避免的死亡,还有其他解决方案。Swaddle推荐‘令人愉悦的玻璃料,可以用于新建筑,也对鸟类友好’。此外,他指出,屏幕也很有帮助,不仅可以限制反射性,还可以在鸟类产生影响时为其提供缓冲。也可以用日常生活用品向鸟类发出有障碍物的信号——网、绳子、彩色贴纸和油漆。这些都可以用来达到这个效果)”可知,最后一段中Swaddle推荐了避免鸟类撞窗死亡的其他几种有效方法,比如使用家里的日常物品向鸟发出信号等。故选A。

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。
It was a Saturday. I can’t recall if the weather was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, warm or chilly, but I distinctly remember it was a weekend day since the mall was packed with people.
I was accompanying my mother that day. Being short and skinny, she tends to go unnoticed in crowds because she is ordinary.
On that day we wandered down the avenue, stealing brief glimpses of window boutiques (精品店) while we understand our shopping would be minimal, just like always. I recall looking up at the passersby as we made our way down the street. Ladies wore five-inch heels (高跟鞋) that clicked importantly on the floor and bright, luxury clothing. A sense of discomfort began to grow in my heart. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother.
It was evident we were in a high-class neighborhood — the luxurious surroundings left no doubt about that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment located at the county border that Mom had specifically picked for its reputable schools. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the deep wrinkles around Mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes, and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Exhaustion showed in her eyes from working long hours to make ends meet, while premature gray streaks ran through her hair. Staring at her, I felt a pang of shame.
There was nothing extraordinary about my mom’s looks, but at that particular moment, her plainness made her stand out. Saying I’d meet her at the clothes store around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the store with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I had no choice but to look for her in other stores in the area.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Faced with my mother’s offer, I felt ashamed of my own thoughts.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I had no choice but to look for her in other stores in the area. Anxious to meet her again, I was afraid of the awkwardness that had accompanied us. Reluctantly and impatiently, my will to search decreased. But my assumptions were misguided. Mom stood in a high-end store, clutching an extravagant sweater. “This will suit you,” she said. I nearly nodded in haste. Upon closer inspection, her weary yet joyful expression as she offered me the sweater silenced me, revealing her profound love.
Faced with my mother’s offer, I felt ashamed of my own thoughts. I was frozen in disbelief, tears streaming down my face. The expensive sweater in her hands contrasted fiercely with her worn, inexpensive clothes, a proof of her sacrifice in buying me new ones. Her constant fatigue and plain appearance stemmed from her tireless efforts to provide for me. Despite her plain appearance, her unwavering love for me shone bright. Suddenly, Mom appeared radiantly beautiful and amazing to me. I was ashamed, not of her, but of myself. “Do you want it?” she asked again. “No, thank you,” I replied, humbled by her love.

On her 53rd birthday, Debra Ferrell received the usual well-wishes on Facebook, but she also got some unusual messages. One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother, autistic (自闭症) and nonverbal, was struggling with grief. They were reaching out to Ferrell, seeking any possible support. “Could you bring him some comfort?” they asked with deep sadness.
Ferrell’s heart ached when she read the message. She knew she had to do something. She sent them a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near.” written on the clapper. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. Ferrell says, “I hope it brings him some comfort. Sometimes, a small gesture can mean the world to someone going through a tough time.”
This is not the first time that Ferrell decided to give gifts for her birthday. In fact, for her 47th birthday in 2014, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and beyond. Its motto is simple: Be Love, Do Stuff. “I believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference,” Ferrell explains. “It’s amazing to see the joy on people’s faces when you do something unexpected for them.”
To celebrate her 53rd birthday, Ferrell decided to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month. She put out a call on her Facebook page, asking for information on people who could use a little help. Over the years, she has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found through Facebook callouts, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shares her favourite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. Her grandkids often join her on these missions, making it a family affair. “It’s amazing to see the joy on people’s faces,” she says. “And it’s even more rewarding when my grandkids are involved. They learn the value of kindness and compassion.”
Ferrell funds all these acts of kindness herself. She buys gift cards, makes pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, sends care packages, and even covers the gas to deliver these surprises. Her family often gives her extra birthday cash, jokingly warning her not to spend it on others, but she always does. “I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my birthday this year and was like YESSS!” she says with a laugh. “It’s my party, and I’ll give if I want to!”

Scientists have discovered a new and renewable source of water on the moon for future explorers in lunar samples from a Chinese mission.
Water was stored in tiny glass beads (珠子) in the lunar dirt where meteorite (陨石) impacts occur. These shiny, multicolored glass beads were in samples returned from the moon by China in 2020. The beads range in size from the width of one hair to several hairs; the water content was just a very small part of that, according to Hui HeJiu of Nanjing University, who took part in the study.
Since there are billions if not trillions of these impact beads, that could amount to substantial amounts of water, but mining it would be tough, according to the team. “Yes, it will require lots and lots of glass beads. There are lots and lots of beads on the moon,” said Hui in an email.
“These beads could continually yield water thanks to the constant bombardment by hydrogen in the solar wind. The findings are based on 32 glass beads randomly selected from lunar dirt returned from the Chang’e 5 moon mission. Therefore more samples will be studied,” said Hui.
These impact beads are everywhere, the result of the cooling of melted material pushed out by incoming space rocks. Water could be got by heating the beads, possibly by future robotic missions. “More studies are needed to determine whether this would be feasible and, if so, whether the water would be safe to drink. This shows water can be recharged on the moon’s surface…a new water reservoir on the moon,” said Hui.
Previous studies found water in glass beads formed by lunar volcanic activities, based on samples returned by the Apollo moonwalkers more than a half-century ago. These, too, could provide water not only for use by future crews, but for rocket fuel.
8. Why is it tough to collect water from the glass beads on the moon?
A. The temperature of the beads is high.
B. The beads are extremely tough to break.
C. The beads are so tiny that they are invisible.
D. The beads contain only a tiny amount of water.
9. Why are glass beads constantly producing water?
A. Because of the continuous hydrogen from the solar wind.
B. Because of the huge number of glass beads on the moon.
C. Because of the influence of meteorite.
D. Because of glass beads getting hot.
10. What does Hui intend to express in paragraph 5?
A. Researchers must conduct further investigations about water on the moon.
B. The moon’s water resources should be used to create electrical energy.
C. The water on the moon could be accessible to explorers someday.
D. The moon’s water is collected in a reservoir.
11. Which title fits the passage best?
A. Scientists Carried out an Investigation about Water On The Moon
B. China Achieved Lunar Sample Collection Successfully
C. Glass Beads Could Serve as Water Storage Containers
D. Scientists Has Found Water in Lunar Glass Beads
D
According to Dr. John Swaddle, a professor at the Institute for Integrative Conservation at William & amp; Mary hundreds of millions of birds die every year from window collisions (碰撞).
However, if you put decals (贴花纸) or colorful stickers outside of your windows, the birds are more likely to see the barrier and therefore avoid it. Remember: never inside your window; always outside of your window.
“Double-glazed (双层的) windows reflect a lot of light, especially when you view them from a slight angle, as a flying bird would do,”Swaddle told Salon. He is the corresponding author of a recent study which tries to figure out how this basic reality of physics impacts on a bird’s experience as it flies near a standard window. For their experiment, researchers had birds perform repeated and controlled flight trials near windows with film (薄膜) products, BirdShades film and Haverkamp film, respectively.
“In our collision avoidance trials, BirdShades increased window avoidance by 47% and the Haverkamp increased avoidance by 39%. But neither product was effective when the films were applied to the internal surface of windows,” the authors concluded.
When breaking down the problem of avoiding window collisions from a bird’s point of view, Swaddle explained, “The light and reflected imagery from the external surface of the glass is sufficient to obscure a film or decal that is stuck to the inner surface from being seen clearly.”
If you want to protect birds from easily avoidable deaths without buying window film products, there are other solutions. Swaddle recommended “pleasing fritted glass that could be used in new construction and which is also bird-friendly”. Besides, he notes that screens can be helpful as well, not only by limiting reflectiveness but by providing birds with a cushion if they make impact. It is also possible to use everyday household objects to signal to birds that there are barriers—netting, bits of string, colorful stickers, and paint. These can all be used to this effect.
12. What can we do to reduce bird window collisions?
A. Decorating the inside of windows with decals.
B. Applying stickers to the outside of windows.
C. Selecting windows with two layers of glass.
D. Keeping windows closed at night.
13. What are the researchers trying to figure out in their experiments?
A. The effective ways to avoid collisions.
B. The eco-friendly glass and films designed for birds.
C. The relationship between light bounce and bird window collisions.
D. The responses of birds when they suddenly hitting the shiny windows.
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 5?
A. Apply. B. Shade. C. Preserve. D. Discover.
15. What could we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Solutions to prevent birds from hitting windows.
B. Methods to lower the cost of windows.
C. Eco-friendly glass materials.
D. Bird-attracting objects.

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。
It was a Saturday. I can’t recall if the weather was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, warm or chilly, but I distinctly remember it was a weekend day since the mall was packed with people.
I was accompanying my mother that day. Being short and skinny, she tends to go unnoticed in crowds because she is ordinary.
On that day we wandered down the avenue, stealing brief glimpses of window boutiques (精品店) while we understand our shopping would be minimal, just like always. I recall looking up at the passersby as we made our way down the street. Ladies wore five-inch heels (高跟鞋) that clicked importantly on the floor and bright, luxury clothing. A sense of discomfort began to grow in my heart. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother.
It was evident we were in a high-class neighborhood — the luxurious surroundings left no doubt about that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment located at the county border that Mom had specifically picked for its reputable schools. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the deep wrinkles around Mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes, and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Exhaustion showed in her eyes from working long hours to make ends meet, while premature gray streaks ran through her hair. Staring at her, I felt a pang of shame.
There was nothing extraordinary about my mom’s looks, but at that particular moment, her plainness made her stand out. Saying I’d meet her at the clothes store around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the store with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I had no choice but to look for her in other stores in the area.

Faced with my mother’s offer, I felt ashamed of my own thoughts.
