It was his final climb to reach the highest summit on all seven continents. When Christopher Kulish finally reached Mount Everest’s 29,035-foot peak, he joined a group known as the “Seven Summits Club”. But the 62-year-old Colorado lawyer died suddenly Monday after returning to the first camp below the mountain’s summit. He’s the second American to die in the past week after reaching Everest’s highest point. His family believes the cause was a heart attack.
Last week, 55-year-old Donald Cash died just after reaching the Everest peak. He also had reached the highest point on all seven continents. Including Christopher and Cash, at least 11 people have died on Mount Everest this year.
The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain. The Nepali government granted a total of 381 permits to climb Everest this year, a number that doesn’t include guides who are on the mountain as well. For some climbers, that traffic has meant longer wait time—some told the Himalayan Times the wait has exceeded two hours between the last camp and the peak. “When there’s a crowd, being a more experienced climber won’t help you,” Mountaineer O’Brien, who has also climbed the seven summits, said. “When a climber is stuck in that traffic, their body is starting to deteriorate (恶化) and the descent is often harder than the climb.”
“There’s no simple explanation for the string of deaths,” climbing expert Alan Arnette said. “Weather is one factor causing overcrowding. Meanwhile, the cost to climb Mount Everest has decreased, which means more people are making the journey.”
Still, Christopher was no beginner. His family said he’d been mountain climbing for five decades. He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions.
His brother, Mark Kulish, described being a lawyer as a “day job” for Christopher. Climbing was his passion.
24.What made longer wait time on Mount Everest?
A.Lacking guides. B.Overcrowding.
C.Bad weather. D.Getting Government’s permission.
25.Why did Christopher arrive at the base camp so early before climbing?
A.To wait for his friends. B.To learn about the mountain.
C.To clear the traffic jam. D.To adapt to conditions earlier.
26.What do we know about Christopher?
A.He joined the “Seven Summits Club” at the base camp.
B.He has reached the highest point on all seven continents.
C.He died from a heart attack below the Mount Everest’s peak.
D.11 people following him died after reaching the Everest peak this year.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了资深登山爱好者Christopher Kulish在攀登七大洲最高峰返回时在第一个营地突然死亡,文章说明了造成攀登最高峰人员死亡的原因以及Christopher的生平事迹。
24.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain.(有报道称,这座颇受欢迎的山峰过于拥挤,造成了这些死亡)”以及下文“For some climbers, that traffic has meant longer wait time—some told the Himalayan Times the wait has exceeded two hours between the last camp and the peak. (对一些登山者来说,这样的拥挤意味着更长的等待时间——一些人告诉《喜马拉雅时报》,从最后一个营地到山顶已经等了两个多小时)”由此可知,过度拥挤使得珠峰上的等待时间更长。故选B。
25.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions. (他在登山前两个月就到达了大本营,这样他就有时间适应环境。)”可知,Christopher在开始攀登前很早就到达了大本营,是为了更早适应气候条件。故选D。
26.细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was his final climb to reach the highest summit on all seven continents. When Christopher Kulish finally reached Mount Everest’s 29,035-foot peak, he joined a group known as the “Seven Summits Club”. (这是他攀登七大洲最高峰的最后一次攀登。当Christopher Kulish最终登上珠穆朗玛峰29035英尺高的山峰时,他加入了一个名为“七峰俱乐部”的精英组织);以及第二段“Last week, 55-year-old Donald Cash died just after reaching the Everest peak. He also had reached the highest point on all seven continents. Including Christopher and Cash, at least 11 people have died on Mount Everest this year. (上周,55岁的唐纳德·卡什在登顶珠峰后不久去世。他还登上了七大洲的最高点。包括克里斯托弗和卡什在内,今年至少有11人在珠穆朗玛峰上死亡。)”由此可知,Christopher已经登上了七大洲的最高点。故选B。

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
27.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A.Those who often take exercise.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
28.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because .
A.their parents often cook meals for them
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.they can't choose what to eat
D.there are too many fast food shops around
29.The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A.forcing B.guiding
C.driving D.moving
30.The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A.tell a story B.provide facts
C.give advice D.compare opinions
【答案】27.B 28.D 29.B 30.C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了太多的小孩子超重的问题,并解释相关的原因。
27.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.(当他们回到家,他们坐在电视机前或电脑前玩电脑游戏。这不仅是一种不健康的消遣,也给了他们时间吃更多不健康的食物)”可知,经常看电视的孩子可能会吃更多不健康的食物。 故选B。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices.(一些人指责我们周围的商店出售不健康的,高脂肪的食品,如廉价的炸鸡和冰淇淋)”可知,作者认为孩子们越来越胖是因为周围有太多的快餐店。 故选D。
29.词句猜测题。根据最后一段可知,为了解决孩子太胖的问题,需要让孩子们远离快餐店和不良饮食习惯。B和C两个选项在意思和语法上都是对的,但是对待孩子应该引导,而不是驱赶,所以B选项更好。 故选B。
30.主旨大意题。文章分析了几个使孩子变胖的因素并提出了如何控制孩子变胖的建议,目的是建议让孩子让孩子们远离快餐店和不良饮食习惯。故选C。
D
I get that parents worry about screen time. But speaking as a researcher studying the effects of screen-based experiences, screens can be a great tool for reading. Digital books give children unique opportunities to learn and improve skills through literacy apps. To that end, I am one of many researchers in this field who believe that digital reading should not be considered screen time in the traditional sense.
With the large number of educational technological products that lack research and good design, the million-dollar question is: What makes a digital story good for children’s learning? Over the past 20 years, researchers have identified specific design features and reading situations that make some digital books more educational than others. First, it’s crucial that digital books offer high-quality personalized reading experiences. With books that have AI-based text generators and a more open-ended design, children become multimedia creators, co-writers and co-illustrators of their own story universe. Second, digital books can significantly enhance the parent-child reading experience. The questions embedded (嵌入的) in digital books should model and expand what the parent might ask, and through this modeling, enhance the quality of parents’ talk around the book.
But as much as I support digital reading, the commercial turn in the development of ed tech worries me, particularly in relation to profit-driven design and misuse of children’s data. Like some social media, subscription libraries turn kids’ attention into a commodity (商品) through automatic book recommendations. These books are often tied to advertising clicks and exhibit low literary quality in their stories. Furthermore, there’s often no content oversight, allowing anyone to become a publisher, which can lead to the creation of biased or data-gathering materials targeting children. Generative AI has expanded content creation possibilities but also raised concerns about quality. In this regard, digital books, like all ed tech, need strict quality checks and improved collaboration between researchers and developers.
Anyway, the digital reading format has opened an exciting new research frontier. This includes using real-time data that teachers and other professionals can use to individualize how children learn to read. AI can be a good partner in supporting adults’ choice of texts, prompts and reading activities for children, provided it is trained with diverse data and valid reading models. As researchers’ calls for evidence-based children’s ed tech are being heard by governments and funders, I hope the past two decades of e-book research can deliver the advantages of digital books to all children. Like it or not, I hope you’ll see that, at least for reading, screens can be an amazing tool to teach your child to read.
31.What is the author’s attitude towards counting digital reading as screen time?
A.Supportive. B.Neutral. C.Cautious. D.Disapproving.
32.According to the passage, digital books contribute to ______.
A.more open-ended questions B.quality parent-child interaction
C.personalized design features D.changes in kids’ reading habits
33.What are the major threats to digital reading?
A.Profit-driven design and data misuse. B.The strict checks on the content.
C.The great number of advertisements. D.Low literary quality but high prices.
34.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To highlight the risks of screen time. B.To introduce some advances in ed tech.
C.To offer another view on digital reading. D.To present the benefits of reading online.
【答案】31.D 32.B 33.A 34.C

You’re faced with a lot of decisions in everyday work. There are multiple tasks calling for your focus, and you are burning daylight or even burn out trying to decide what comes first. 35
If you’re going to think smarter about how you prioritize (排序) tasks, you have to invest a little time away from your to-do list. Here’s the thing: what you work on confirms your values. You may think it’s no big thing to work overtime for a little while, but something will be sacrificed with this decision. If you’re a parent, you might spend less time with your kids. Similarly, if you choose not to work much or effectively, you’re deciding that your values lie outside your career. 36
Write all the tasks down and create four boxes containing all of things you care about. This could be: helps the community, helps one-to-one relationships, makes money, and things you find personally fulfilling. Then place them in the boxes and see how many of the boxes each one takes up. Anything that fills just one box has to be reconsidered. Anything that fills nothing should not be considered at all. 37 From here, the rest of the prioritization gets a little easier. You now have a better idea where the efforts are really paying off. You also know when you are wasting your own time.
In order to figure out a plan for yourself, the first thing you should be doing is gathering all of your tasks, large and small. 38 Other people are counting on you or your future self will depend on them somehow. These are actually easier to prioritize. Then break down large tasks into smaller pieces. That helps put things in order. Part of the reason we do the small things first is that being productive feels good. Acknowledging accomplishments makes you more likely to keep going and pushes you through the more complicated tasks.
39 Notice when your energy levels are high and when they are weak. Be aware when you’re more productive for social activities and when you’re better off. The more you study yourself, the easier planning becomes.
Now that you have your priorities in order, go ahead and you will boost your productivity.
A.You can also prioritize based on energy levels.
B.The good news is that some tasks can keep you motivated.
C.So how can you figure out what’s most important to work on first?
D.This activity allows you to see where you really want to invest your energy.
E.If you want to make a new list, you need to turn to your colleagues for help.
F.There are some tasks that are pretty straightforward and you need to do the thing.
G.Where you invest your time is not just about what you value but also what you don’t value.
【答案】35.C 36.G 37.D 38.F 39.A
【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了有效排序任务的策略。
35.前文“There are multiple tasks calling for your focus, and you are burning daylight or even burn out trying to decide what comes first.”说明有许多任务需要你关注,你无法决定先做什么,后文几个自然段分别讲述怎么排序任务, 怎样分辨任务的重要性等,因此这里使用问句“那么,应该怎样来辨明首先要处理的最重要的事情是什么呢"来引起后文。逻辑通顺。故选C。
36.根据上文“Here’s the thing: what you work on confirms your values.”以及接下来的举例可知,本段讲述一个人的价值观是由致力于什么而确定的。并列举了几个例子。因此空格处进行总结说“你把时间投资到哪里,说明了你重视什么,同时也说明了你不重视什么”,故选G。
37.上文“Write all the tasks down and create four boxes containing all of things you care about.”首先介绍了一种方法,把所有的任务写下来放在四个盒子里。横线后“the rest of the prioritization gets a little easier.”说“剩下的会更容易一些”故前后存在对比,因此空格处说“这项活动会让你看清你想往哪里投入精力”。故选D。
38.前文“In order to figure out a plan for yourself, the first thing you should be doing is gathering all of your tasks, large and small.”说把所有的大小任务都收集到一起,后文“Other people are counting on you or your future self will depend on them somehow.”说其他人指望你或者未来的自己依赖于这些。故中间用“有一些任务直接需要你做这些事”符合语境,引领下文。故选F。
39.后文“Notice when your energy levels are high and when they are weak.”说有时你的能量值高有时能量值低,故前文说的是“你可以基于你的能量值来排序优先性”,故选A。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32 分)
第一节 (共 4 小题; 第 40、41 题各 2 分, 第 42 题 3 分, 第 43 题 5 分, 共 12 分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life — his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle won inspired Nielsen to make a career (职业) in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship (奖学金) to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn’t quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy (喜剧) but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn’t until 1980 — 32 years into his career — that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane. That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial (财务的) success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was excited to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working.
Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single dream, never given up on, can make for a remarkable (非凡的) life.
40.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
41.What impact did the movie Airplane have on Nielsen’s career?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
When Nielsen landed a number of film roles that got him noticed, he thought he got what he wanted.
43.What is your dream? What inspiration do you get from Nielsen’s story to achieve it? (In about 40 words )
【答案】40.His uncle inspired him. 41.It launched his comedic career. 42.When Nielsen landed a number of film roles that got him noticed, he thought he got what he wanted. What he had wasn’t quite what he wanted. 43.My dream is to be a scientist. Nielsen’s persistence teaches me to embrace challenges and keep improving.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了莱斯利·尼尔森的职业生涯和成就。
40.考查细节理解。根据第一段“The admiration and respect his uncle won inspired Nielsen to make a career (职业) in acting.(他叔叔所赢得的钦佩和尊重激励了尼尔森在演艺事业上发展)”可知,尼尔森想成为一名演员是因为他叔叔鼓舞了他。故答案为His uncle inspired him.
41.考查细节理解。根据第二段“It wasn’t until 1980 — 32 years into his career — that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane. That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial (财务的) success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.(直到1980年,也就是他出道32年后,他才在《飞机》中获得了一个似乎是为他量身定做的角色。这部电影让他进入了职业生涯的后半段,即使电影评论家不会给它很高的评价,他的喜剧表现也能让一部电影获得经济上的成功)”可知,电影《飞机》开启了尼尔森的喜剧生涯。故答案为It launched his comedic career.
42.考查细节理解。根据第二段“But even then, what he had wasn’t quite what he wanted.(但即便如此,他所拥有的也不完全是他想要的)”可知,错误部分为“he thought he got what he wanted”,他所拥有的也不完全是他想要的。故答案为When Nielsen landed a number of film roles that got him noticed, he thought he got what he wanted. What he had wasn’t quite what he wanted.
43.考查开放题。根据“你的梦想是什么?你从尼尔森的故事中得到了什么灵感来实现它?”可回答:我的梦想是成为一名科学家。尼尔森的坚持教会了我接受挑战,不断进步。故答案为My dream is to be a scientist. Nielsen’s persistence teaches me to embrace challenges and keep improving.

It was his final climb to reach the highest summit on all seven continents. When Christopher Kulish finally reached Mount Everest’s 29,035-foot peak, he joined a group known as the “Seven Summits Club”. But the 62-year-old Colorado lawyer died suddenly Monday after returning to the first camp below the mountain’s summit. He’s the second American to die in the past week after reaching Everest’s highest point. His family believes the cause was a heart attack.
Last week, 55-year-old Donald Cash died just after reaching the Everest peak. He also had reached the highest point on all seven continents. Including Christopher and Cash, at least 11 people have died on Mount Everest this year.
The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain. The Nepali government granted a total of 381 permits to climb Everest this year, a number that doesn’t include guides who are on the mountain as well. For some climbers, that traffic has meant longer wait time—some told the Himalayan Times the wait has exceeded two hours between the last camp and the peak. “When there’s a crowd, being a more experienced climber won’t help you,” Mountaineer O’Brien, who has also climbed the seven summits, said. “When a climber is stuck in that traffic, their body is starting to deteriorate (恶化) and the descent is often harder than the climb.”
“There’s no simple explanation for the string of deaths,” climbing expert Alan Arnette said. “Weather is one factor causing overcrowding. Meanwhile, the cost to climb Mount Everest has decreased, which means more people are making the journey.”
Still, Christopher was no beginner. His family said he’d been mountain climbing for five decades. He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions.
His brother, Mark Kulish, described being a lawyer as a “day job” for Christopher. Climbing was his passion.
24.What made longer wait time on Mount Everest?
A.Lacking guides. B.Overcrowding.
C.Bad weather. D.Getting Government’s permission.
25.Why did Christopher arrive at the base camp so early before climbing?
A.To wait for his friends. B.To learn about the mountain.
C.To clear the traffic jam. D.To adapt to conditions earlier.
26.What do we know about Christopher?
A.He joined the “Seven Summits Club” at the base camp.
B.He has reached the highest point on all seven continents.
C.He died from a heart attack below the Mount Everest’s peak.
D.11 people following him died after reaching the Everest peak this year.

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
27.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A.Those who often take exercise.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
28.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because .
A.their parents often cook meals for them
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.they can't choose what to eat
D.there are too many fast food shops around
29.The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A.forcing B.guiding
C.driving D.moving
30.The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A.tell a story B.provide facts
C.give advice D.compare opinions
D
I get that parents worry about screen time. But speaking as a researcher studying the effects of screen-based experiences, screens can be a great tool for reading. Digital books give children unique opportunities to learn and improve skills through literacy apps. To that end, I am one of many researchers in this field who believe that digital reading should not be considered screen time in the traditional sense.
With the large number of educational technological products that lack research and good design, the million-dollar question is: What makes a digital story good for children’s learning? Over the past 20 years, researchers have identified specific design features and reading situations that make some digital books more educational than others. First, it’s crucial that digital books offer high-quality personalized reading experiences. With books that have AI-based text generators and a more open-ended design, children become multimedia creators, co-writers and co-illustrators of their own story universe. Second, digital books can significantly enhance the parent-child reading experience. The questions embedded (嵌入的) in digital books should model and expand what the parent might ask, and through this modeling, enhance the quality of parents’ talk around the book.
But as much as I support digital reading, the commercial turn in the development of ed tech worries me, particularly in relation to profit-driven design and misuse of children’s data. Like some social media, subscription libraries turn kids’ attention into a commodity (商品) through automatic book recommendations. These books are often tied to advertising clicks and exhibit low literary quality in their stories. Furthermore, there’s often no content oversight, allowing anyone to become a publisher, which can lead to the creation of biased or data-gathering materials targeting children. Generative AI has expanded content creation possibilities but also raised concerns about quality. In this regard, digital books, like all ed tech, need strict quality checks and improved collaboration between researchers and developers.
Anyway, the digital reading format has opened an exciting new research frontier. This includes using real-time data that teachers and other professionals can use to individualize how children learn to read. AI can be a good partner in supporting adults’ choice of texts, prompts and reading activities for children, provided it is trained with diverse data and valid reading models. As researchers’ calls for evidence-based children’s ed tech are being heard by governments and funders, I hope the past two decades of e-book research can deliver the advantages of digital books to all children. Like it or not, I hope you’ll see that, at least for reading, screens can be an amazing tool to teach your child to read.
31.What is the author’s attitude towards counting digital reading as screen time?
A.Supportive. B.Neutral. C.Cautious. D.Disapproving.
32.According to the passage, digital books contribute to ______.
A.more open-ended questions B.quality parent-child interaction
C.personalized design features D.changes in kids’ reading habits
33.What are the major threats to digital reading?
A.Profit-driven design and data misuse. B.The strict checks on the content.
C.The great number of advertisements. D.Low literary quality but high prices.
34.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To highlight the risks of screen time. B.To introduce some advances in ed tech.
C.To offer another view on digital reading. D.To present the benefits of reading online.
