Now, there are three groups of us on this trip, and we’ll be using three tourist buses to get to and from the palace. They each have numbers on the front, and ours is Bus 2. The palace is probably going to be very busy, so please stay close to me when we get there. If you lose me, head for the main gate which is opposite the ticket office, and you’ll find me there. Now, these days, the palace is a museum, but you’ll be surprised to hear that people still live there. No, they’re not kings or queens but local people who work at the palace, and their families. Many of them wear traditional clothes, so they are good for a photograph. But please ask them if it’s OK before doing this. These people may also offer to sell you small wooden and stone products that they’ve made. They’ll probably ask you for about $20 or so for these, but it’s perfectly acceptable to offer them less. 30 percent below the asking price would be an acceptable figure, but please don’t try to go lower than that. OK, that’s all. Now let’s start our enjoyable trip. 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A How to explore Yellowstone National Park in just two days? Here is an incredible 2-day itinerary (行程) that enables you to see Yellowstone’s best in just one weekend. DAY ONE ●Lamar Valley: This grassy valley supports huge numbers of bears, wolves, deer, bisons, coyotes and bald eagles. To see a wolf, get up before sunrise and head to Lamar Valley in the park’s northeast corner. ●Mammoth Hot Springs: Near the park's north entrance, stop at Mammoth Hot Springs where you can see colorful terraces (梯形地貌) formed by hot springs rising to the surface. You’ll see about 50 hot springs as you follow the boardwalks for 1.75 miles. ●Old Faithful Inn: A trip to Yellowstone wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of the largest log structures in the world. Built from 1903 to 1904, the Old Faithful Inn is an amazing hotel worth visiting. DAY TWO ●Grand Prismatic: Head to Midway Geyser Basin and walk along the boardwalk to see one of the world’s largest and deepest hot springs — Grand Prismatic Spring. It’s larger than a football field at 370 feet across and deeper than a 10-story building at 125 feet. Its colors are incredible and range from deep blue in the center to green to yellow and orange on the edges. ●Yellowstone Lake: When you feel hungry, head for Yellowstone Lake, which has 141 miles of shoreline. Thirteen picnic areas line the lake’s shores. Be ready to enjoy a peaceful picnic. ●Giant Waterfalls: The powerful Yellowstone River formed the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone which is home to three incredible waterfalls: Upper, Lower and Crystal falls. Seeing the waterfalls in the late afternoon or early evening light is breathtaking. 21. Which of the following is the best place for watching wildlife? A. Lamar Valley. B. Giant Waterfalls. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了一个很棒的两天行程，可以让你在一个周末就能看完黄石公园最好的地方。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This grassy valley supports huge numbers of bears, wolves, deer, bisons, coyotes and bald eagles. To see a wolf, get up before sunrise and head to Lamar Valley in the park’s northeast corner.(这个长满草的山谷里生活着大量的熊、狼、鹿、野牛、土狼和秃鹰。要看狼，日出前起床，前往公园东北角的拉马尔谷。)”可知，拉马尔山谷是观赏野生动物的最佳地点。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A trip to Yellowstone wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of the largest log structures in the world.(如果没有看到世界上最大的原木结构之一，黄石公园之旅就不完整。)”可知，Old Faithful Inn的亮点是它独特的建筑。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“It’s larger than a football field at 370 feet across and deeper than a 10-story building at 125 feet.(它比一个足球场还要大，直径370英尺，比一座10层楼高125英尺的建筑还要深。)”可知，大棱镜面积很大。故选C。 B The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached. As I shook Aaron’s hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron. We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed (吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother. While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory, a man whom I recognized from a professional club approached me. “What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face. 24. What used to trouble the writer? A. The recognition from Aaron. B. The hard tennis training. C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The influence of Aaron’s success. 25. How did the writer feel before the first round of the match? A. Excited. B. Anxious. C. Optimistic. D. Honored. 26. What can be inferred about Aaron during the match? A. He purchased a tennis racket for the writer. B. He intentionally lost to encourage his brother. C. He had an obvious advantage in the last round. D. He adopted a predictable play style in the match. 27. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Unfamiliar Feeling B. From Nobody to Somebody C. Beating the Undefeated D. Walking in Aaron’s shadow 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直想战胜哥哥，撕掉“亚伦弟弟”的标签。终于在一次比赛中，作者战胜哥哥，得到别人认可的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player.(在我六岁的时候，就被贴上了“亚伦弟弟”的标签。这个标签一直伴随着我，所有人只要提到这个想象中的标签，就知道该怎么称呼我。我想要打败亚伦，他的名气让我沦为了一个无名的网球选手。)”可知，作者被贴上“亚伦的弟弟”的标签，亚伦的名气让作者沦为无名的网球选手，亚伦的成功带来的影响困扰着作者。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As I shook Aaron’s hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match.(比赛开始时，当我和亚伦握手时，我坚定地看着他。“我今天要打败你。”我鼓起信心宣布比赛结果。)”可知，作者在比赛开始时是非常乐观的。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed (吊高球) over Aaron’s head.(我想起了他在世界网球锦标赛上的击球习惯，于是我朝左伸出手臂，预判球的落点。球碰到了我的球拍，我把球高高地吊过了亚伦的头顶。)”可知，作者能够预判亚伦的击球，说明他在这场比赛中表现得缺乏变化，打法很容易被预判。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player.(在我六岁的时候，就被贴上了“亚伦弟弟”的标签。这个标签一直伴随着我，所有人只要提到这个想象中的标签，就知道该怎么称呼我。我想要打败亚伦，他的名气让我沦为了一个无名的网球选手。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者从小就生活在哥哥亚伦的光环下，被贴上了“亚纶弟弟”的标签，而作者不断努力并最终在球场上战胜哥哥，得到认可的故事。选项B“From Nobody to Somebody (从无名小卒到大人物)”直接点明了文章的主题，即作者通过努力和策略，最终战胜了他一直认为无法战胜的哥哥，实现了从“无名小卒”到“大人物”的转变。这个标题既符合文章的主要内容，又能吸引读者的注意。故选B。 C As the first-ever Chinese captain to compete in the Vendee Globe, known as one of the world’s toughest endurance challenges, Olonne on Sunday in the 10th edition of the legendary solo, non-stop, around-the-world yacht race.

A New Path to Vendee Globe Race D. Overcoming Physical Limitations in Sports 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国首位参加Vendee Globe帆船赛的船长徐京坤的事迹，包括他的个人背景、成长经历、对帆船运动的热爱以及他在帆船运动领域取得的成就。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““Losing my arm taught me perseverance, and from then on, I wanted to push my own limits. Discovering the sea opened a new path for me,” Xu said.(徐京坤说：“失去手臂教会了我要坚持不懈，从那时起，我就想要挑战自己的极限。发现大海则为我开启了一条新的道路。”)”可知，他左臂受伤让他学会坚持并且想要挑战自我极限，看到大海为他开启了新的道路，这两个因素促使他投身帆船事业。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Over time, Xu gained recognition both in Route du Rhum transatlantic solo race and went on to complete China’s first double-hulled circumnavigation.(随着时间的推移，徐京坤在朗姆酒之路跨大西洋单人帆船赛中获得认可，并且继而完成了中国首次双体船环球航行。)”可知，徐京坤的一项主要成就是完成了中国首次双体船环球航行。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““Losing my arm taught me perseverance, and from then on, I wanted to push my own limits.

It’s about inspiring others to see beyond obstacles and to explore what’s possible,” Xu said.(徐京坤说：“作为来到这里的首位中国水手，这不仅仅是个人的一项成就。它关乎激励其他人超越障碍，去探索各种可能性。”)”可知，他是个具有探索精神的人。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要围绕中国船长徐京坤展开，讲述了他因儿时经历开启帆船运动生涯，在不同帆船赛事中取得成绩以及参与旺代环球帆船赛这一具有历史意义的事件，重点体现了他一路走来的经历以及这些经历所带来的激励作用。选项A“Chinese Sailor’s Inspiring Journey（一位中国水手的鼓舞人心的旅程）”能够很好地概括文章主旨。故选A。 D Speed reading has its benefits—it saves time where there is a lack of available hours or days, and the volume of pages is shocking. The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. I prefer discussing the “way of reading” and not only the speed. Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow? In today’s busy times, I suggest “Mindful Reading”, which includes two simple principles. The first is, of course, being mindful. The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. And thus, poetry requires a slow pace, time for an internal “echo” of rhyme in the soul for appreciating the beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot. But all types of speed have one thing in common: mindfulness. And the other principle: Post Lectio—Ratiocination. If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. I hope you did not read this article too fast. 32. Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1? A. To show the efficiency of reading fast. B. To illustrate the problem of speed reading. C. To prove the director’s ability to summarize. D. To stress the importance of reading classics. 33. What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading? A. Fast reading ensures reading quality. B. Fast reading is superior to slow reading. C. Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality. D. Slow reading prevents us remembering the content. 34. What does the first principle of “Mindful Reading” involve? A. Deep engagement. B. Quick comprehension. C. Excellent memory. D. Wild imagination. 35. What does the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4? A. Take breaks to refresh their mind. B. Read mindfully without interruptions. C. Devote time to reflecting after reading. D. Digest information while reading. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要讲述了阅读速度问题，并建议我们要在阅读后思考。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. (然而，快速阅读带来的问题可以用机智的导演伍迪·艾伦的话来概括:“这是我阅读《战争与和平》的方式。这是关于俄罗斯的。”对于一本1200页的书来说，这是一个非凡的总结。)”可知，快速阅读产生的问题，可以引用诙谐的导演伍迪·艾伦的话来概括，对于一本1200页的书来说，这是一个了不起的总结。可推断引用伍迪艾伦的话是为了说明快速阅读的问题。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow?”(慢节奏能保证阅读的质量吗?你可以做一个很短的练习--你读过什么书，比如两年前?它们是关于什么的?你能从它们每一本上回忆起五个想法吗?在大多数情况下，答案是“不能”。那么，我们读得快或慢有什么区别呢?)”可知，慢速阅读不能保证阅读质量。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. (阅读的速度与意识的速度精确匹配。我读书是为了意识到。我意识到要理解。我理解了才能利用。当我无法理解文字背后的意思时，我不得不放慢脚步，一遍又一遍地回到同一个句子。) ”，可知，“正念阅读”的第一个原则是深入参与。故选A。 【35题详解】 推断判断题。根据第四段的“If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. (如果我们读了60分钟，然后合上书，马上去做别的事情，我们就错过了一个关键因素——在我们还记得的时候思考内容，就像精神消化一样。不习惯这一点的人可以尝试至少59/1，而不是60/0:1分钟思考和吸收。最好是五分钟，或者更好，十分钟，或者为什么不30/30分钟？通过这种思维练习，我们不仅能记住读过的书中的观点，还能从书的内容中获得更大的好处。)”可推断，作者建议读者阅读后思考。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 People say water can improve health and memory. But now some experts say that to think drinking water equals health is taking things too far and that hydration(水合作用）is about the balance between electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and the water in your body. Then. how much water do you need to drink? Many say you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Not so, some experts say. ___36___ A 200-pound person who hikes 10 miles in the heat needs more water than a 120-pound office manager in a temperature-controlled building. ___37___ Someone with a heart condition or kidney stones has one level of need. A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药）may need a different amount of water.You may need to change the amount you are drinking if you lave been ill with vomiting or diarrhea. Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.___38___One popular idea is that caffeine or alcohol will make your body lose much water. But one study showed the effect is not significant.You also get water from what you eat. Fruits, vegetables, and soups all add to the intake of water. Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough. You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.___39___ Electrolytes are essential minerals. ___40___ Some sports drinks ads say you need to add electrolytes to stay healthy.

B 【解析】 【分析】本文为议论文，首先提出两个关于水的不同观点：饮水能改善健康状况与记忆；饮水并不等同于健康，水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。 【36题详解】 根据空前“how much water do you need to drink?”引出本段话题：你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法，并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量，说明了体重及其进行的活动不同，需水量不同，故选D项。 【37题详解】 从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出，该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关，此空为该段的主旨句，故选F项。 【38题详解】 根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水，其中“also”，说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源，G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求，且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯，“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应，故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据空前“Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough.”(你的身体会告诉你体内的水是否充足。)“You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.”(你不必思考这个问题也不必增加喝水量。)你口渴的时候就是身体在给你信号，所以你在这个时候喝水就可以了，不必专门去考虑体内的水是否充足，A项符合，故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康，说明电解质在人体内有重要作用，B项符合，“They”对应“Electrolytes”，“vital”对应“essential”，故选B项。 第三部分语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Although many over-processed foods can satisfy the desire for sweet, fatty, salty foods, research suggests these items are particularly bad for the heart and brain, with mood and cognition taking a hit.

I was looking forward to seeing Grandpa and playing with my best friend, Steve, his smart dog. Life in the countryside was great. I enjoyed Grandpa’s tasty vegetable soup and had a lot of fun playing with Steve. We explored the woods, chased (追逐) birds, and tried fishing by the stream, laughing all the while. One day, Grandpa went to the farm to get fresh pumpkins and tomatoes for a big dinner. While waiting for him to come back, I felt a bit bored. “Steve, let’s have some fun!” I declared, and with a wag (摇摆) of his tail, he excitedly agreed. Our game of hide-and-seek filled the house with laughter. “You can’t catch me!” I laughed, hiding and running away from Steve. But Steve was so smart that he could always find me, whether in the bedroom or the cupboard. However, while we were having fun, something unexpected happened. Suddenly there was a loud crash in the living room, breaking the calm like a stone disturbing a quiet pond. It turned out that I accidentally knocked over a mirror while playing. The mirror, once neat and pretty on the table, was now broken pieces on the floor because of our playful game. My heart pounded as I looked at the mess. The wind blew through the open window, making the curtains waving in the wind, which upset me even more. I didn’t know what to do with the broken mirror. Should I tell Grandpa or try to hide what had happened? I thought about it, and Steve lowered his ears. It seemed that he also realized that we had made a huge mistake. “What should we do, Steve?” I asked quietly, trying to find comfort. It was a tough decision, and I felt really guilty. Admitting the mistake seemed hard. Suddenly I had an idea — maybe I could put the blame on Steve alone. 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。 When Grandpa returned and came in, he looked surprised when he saw the broken mirror. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At dinner, the joy of having Grandpa’s vegetable soup was now mixed with regret. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When Grandpa returned and came in, he looked surprised when he saw the broken mirror. “What happened?” he asked. I looked away and made up a story about Steve being too playful. With my face burning, I told Grandpa, “Steve got too excited. He knocked over the mirror, and, well, the mirror broke.” Hearing this, Grandpa didn’t say anything, but his eyes showed a mix of doubt and disappointment. Grandpa cleaned up the mess and then he went to the kitchen to prepare the vegetable soup. I breathed a huge sigh of relief for I thought maybe the truth was hidden by the made-up story. At dinner, the joy of having Grandpa’s vegetable soup was now mixed with regret. Finally unable to bear the weight of dishonesty, with tears welling up in my eyes, I confessed, “Grandpa, it was my fault. Steve had nothing to do with the broken mirror.” Unexpectedly, Grandpa patted me on the shoulder and smiled gently, “I understand your situation, dear. But being honest is more important! You made the right choice just now.” At that moment, with the smell of soup in the air, I learned a big lesson about telling the truth. The countryside, with its wide fields and timeless lessons, became part of my memorable experience that stayed in my heart for a long time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在乡下爷爷家和小狗Steve玩耍时打碎了镜子，并对爷爷撒谎说是Steve打碎的，后来作者喝着爷爷做的蔬菜汤感到非常内疚，向爷爷说出真相承认了错误。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当爷爷回来进来的时候，当他看到破碎的镜子时，他看起来很惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写作者撒谎告诉爷爷说镜子是小狗Steve打碎的。 ②由第二段首句内容“吃晚饭时，喝爷爷做的蔬菜汤的喜悦中夹杂着遗憾。”可知，第二段可描写作者向爷爷说出真相，承认自己撒谎。 2. 续写线索：编故事撒谎——爷爷收拾碎玻璃后做饭——吃爷爷做的蔬菜汤——感到内疚——承认错误——爷爷原谅 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①承认：confess/admit ②清理：clean up/clear up ③拍：pat/tap 情绪类： ①笑：smile gently/give sb a gentle smile ②哭：with tears welling up in one’s eyes/with one’s eyes filled with tears 【点睛】【高分句型1】Hearing this, Grandpa didn’t say anything, but his eyes showed a mix of doubt and disappointed.

We hardly . had choices. I feel sorry for you. What did you do next? We found a house in the suburbs, and I have to get up early every morning. IT means you have to travel far to work. right?

Hello, everyone in a few minutes will be setting off on a trip to the palace of comm on being. There are a few things I should mention before we go, so please pay carefully attention. Now there are three groups of us on this trip, and we'll be using three tourist buses to get to and from the palace. They each chat numbers on the front and hours is bus too. The palace is probably going to be very busy, so please stay close to me when we get there. If you lose me, head for the main gate, which is opposite the ticket office, and you'll find me there. Now these days, the policy is a museum, but you'll be surprised to hear that people still live there. No, they're not kings or queens, but local people who work at the palace and their families. Many of them wear traditional clothes, so they're good for a photograph. But please ask them if it's okay. Before doing this, these people may also offer to sell you small wooden and stone products that they've made. They will probably ask you for about twenty dollars or so for these, but it's perfectly acceptable to offer them less. Thirty percent below the asking Price would be an acceptable figure, but please don't try to go lower than that. Okay, that's all. Now let's start our enjoyable trip.

To see a wolf, get up before sunrise and head to Lamar Valley in the park’s northeast corner. ●Mammoth Hot Springs: Near the park's north entrance, stop at Mammoth Hot Springs where you can see colorful terraces (梯形地貌) formed by hot springs rising to the surface. You’ll see about 50 hot springs as you follow the boardwalks for 1.75 miles. ●Old Faithful Inn: A trip to Yellowstone wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of the largest log structures in the world.

Its colors are incredible and range from deep blue in the center to green to yellow and orange on the edges. ●Yellowstone Lake: When you feel hungry, head for Yellowstone Lake, which has 141 miles of shoreline.

B The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached. As I shook Aaron’s hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron. We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed (吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother. While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory, a man whom I recognized from a professional club approached me. “What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face. 24. What used to trouble the writer? A. The recognition from Aaron. B. The hard tennis training. C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The influence of Aaron’s success. 25. How did the writer feel before the first round of the match? A Excited. B. Anxious. C. Optimistic. D. Honored. 26. What can be inferred about Aaron during the match? A. He purchased a tennis racket for the writer. B. He intentionally lost to encourage his brother. C. He had an obvious advantage in the last round. D. He adopted a predictable play style in the match. 27. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Unfamiliar Feeling B. From Nobody to Somebody C. Beating the Undefeated D. Walking in Aaron’s shadow C As the first-ever Chinese captain to compete in the Vendee Globe, known as one of the world’s toughest endurance challenges, Olonne on Sunday in the 10th edition of the legendary solo, non-stop, around-the-world yacht race. Born in Pingdu, north China’s Shandong Province, Xu encountered two life-changing events at the age of 12 — seeing the sea for the first time and losing his lower left arm due to a fireworks accident. “Losing my arm taught me perseverance, and from then on, I wanted to push my own limits. Discovering the sea opened a new path for me,” Xu said. Always athletic, he first excelled in track and field before discovering a lifelong passion for sailing. His talent and determination led him to represent China in sailing at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. “Sailing isn’t just about competing; it’s about constantly learning and exploring the sea,” he explained. Over time, Xu gained recognition both in Route du Rhum transatlantic solo race and went on to complete China’s first double-hulled circumnavigation. Now, his participation in the Vendee Globe marks a historic milestone as he becomes the first Chinese sailor to compete in a field traditionally dominated by European captains. “Being the first Chinese sailor here is more than a personal achievement. It’s about inspiring others to see beyond obstacles and to explore what’s possible,” Xu said. Asked about his goal in this year’s race, Xu emphasized the importance I’ll aim to place in the middle of the pack,” he stated confidently. 28. Why did Xu Jingkun pursue a career in sailing? A. He wanted to use his athletic background. B. He hoped to win the Vendee Globe race. C. He aimed to compete with excellent European sailors. D. He was influenced by his injury and seeing the sea. 29. What is one of Xu Jingkun’s major achievements? A. Winning the Route du Rhum transatlantic race. B. Competing in the first Vendee Globe race. C. Representing China at the Paris Olympics. D. Completing China’s first double-hulled circumnavigation. 30. Which of the following best describes Xu Jingkun’s character? A. Ambitious and generous. B. Strong-willed and exploratory. C. Creative and hard-working. D. Cautious and conservative. 31. What is the best title for this passage? A. A Chinese Sailor’s Inspiring Journey B. Breaking Records in Chinese Sailing C. A New Path to Vendee Globe Race D. Overcoming Physical Limitations in Sports D Speed reading has its benefits—it saves time where there is a lack of available hours or days, and the volume of pages is shocking. The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. I prefer discussing the “way of reading” and not only the speed. Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow? In today’s busy times, I suggest “Mindful Reading”, which includes two simple principles. The first is, of course, being mindful. The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. And thus, poetry requires a slow pace, time for an internal “echo” of rhyme in the soul for appreciating the beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot. But all types of speed have one thing in common: mindfulness. And the other principle: Post Lectio—Ratiocination. If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. I hope you did not read this article too fast. 32. Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1? A. To show the efficiency of reading fast. B. To illustrate the problem of speed reading. C. To prove the director’s ability to summarize. D. To stress the importance of reading classics. 33. What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading? A. Fast reading ensures reading quality. B. Fast reading is superior to slow reading. C. Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality. D. Slow reading prevents us remembering the content. 34. What does the first principle of “Mindful Reading” involve? A. Deep engagement. B. Quick comprehension. C. Excellent memory. D. Wild imagination. 35 What does the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4? A. Take breaks to refresh their mind. B. Read mindfully without interruptions. C. Devote time to reflecting after reading. D. Digest information while reading. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 People say water can improve health and memory.

I was looking forward to seeing Grandpa and playing with my best friend, Steve, his smart dog. Life in the countryside was great. I enjoyed Grandpa’s tasty vegetable soup and had a lot of fun playing with Steve. We explored the woods, chased (追逐) birds, and tried fishing by the stream, laughing all the while. One day, Grandpa went to the farm to get fresh pumpkins and tomatoes for a big dinner. While waiting for him to come back, I felt a bit bored. “Steve, let’s have some fun!” I declared, and with a wag (摇摆) of his tail, he excitedly agreed. Our game of hide-and-seek filled the house with laughter. “You can’t catch me!” I laughed hiding and running away from Steve. But Steve was so smart that he could always find me, whether in the bedroom or the cupboard. However, while we were having fun, something unexpected happened. Suddenly there was a loud crash in the living room, breaking the calm like a stone disturbing a quiet pond. It turned out that I accidentally knocked over a mirror while playing. The mirror, once neat and pretty on the table, was now broken pieces on the floor because of our playful game. My heart pounded as I looked at the mess. The wind blew through the open window, making the curtains waving in the wind, which upset me even more. I didn’t know what to do with the broken mirror. Should I tell Grandpa or try to hide what had happened? I thought about it, and Steve lowered his ears. It seemed that he also realized that we had made a huge mistake. “What should we do, Steve?” I asked quietly, trying to find comfort. It was a tough decision, and I felt really guilty. Admitting the mistake seemed hard. Suddenly I had an idea — maybe I could put the blame on Steve alone. 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。 When Grandpa returned and came in, he looked surprised when he saw the broken mirror. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At dinner, the joy of having Grandpa’s vegetable soup was now mixed with regret. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
