阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The least-visited countries in the world
It’s every traveler’s dream — a corner of the planet still undisturbed by tourists. And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally.
Liechtenstein (69,000)
The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered.
Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it.
French Guiana (199,000)
French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life.
While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the construction is in need of some attention.
Montserrat (9,000)
Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted.
These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserra’s main attractions, together with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters.
Comoros (24,000)
This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life.
Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs(礁) just waiting to be explored by divers.
21. Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers?
A. Montserrat. B. Comoros.
C. Liechtenstein. D. French Guiana.
22. What do we know about French Guiana?
A. It has a rich diversity of species.
B. Its construction is new and advanced.
C. It is the least-visited country in the world.
D Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle.
23. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common?
A. They have thick forests.
B. They are destinations for divers.
C. They have recovered from natural disasters.
D. They were badly destroyed by volcanic eruptions.
B
When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.
When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way.
On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything.
How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel.
24. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble?
A. Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious.
25. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect.
26. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Everything in social media is not true.
B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world.
C. People like to share their privacy in social media.
D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance.
27. What should parents do to their kids?
A. Tell them to behave themselves.
B. Praise their kids for their appearance.
C. Set a positive example for their kids.
D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty.
C
Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.
But the researchers are trying to help them: it is a controlled experiment that reveals how high wind speeds significantly reduce the efficiency of their feeding.
With no wind, the bees on average took nectar (花蜜) from 5.45 flowers during their 90-second time trial. When wind speeds were increased, this fell to an average of 3.73 flowers.
Researchers also examined the indirect impact of higher winds by moving the flowers.
The findings reveal that, while flower movement did not appear to have an effect on the bees, the movement of air from the fans made them much more hesitant to take off from a flower, with time taken ranging from an initial 0.05 seconds to 54 seconds.
Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees’ body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.
“With wind speeds predicted to increase in the years ahead, understanding how we can help bees in a changing climate is becoming ever more pressing. Although we can’t do much to control or stop the wind, we can take steps to reduce its impact on bees, such as placing hives in sheltered locations,” said Hennessy.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned last year that the decline in global bee populations was a “threat to global food security and diversity”.
Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, said:“Bees already face many pressures in the modern world, such as loss of habitats and exposure to pesticides (杀虫剂), and a great many are in decline. Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw.”
28. What task did the researchers set for the bees?
A. Identifying the new route.
B. Surviving in extreme conditions.
C. Feeding under different wind speeds.
D. Distinguishing various kinds of flowers.
29. What probably makes a bee hesitant to take off from a flower?
A. A full stomach.
B. Loss of balance.
C. Changed flower positions.
D. Reduced body temperature.
30. What can we do to reduce the impact of high winds on bees?
A. Stop the wind.
B. Restore their habitats.
C. Address climate change.
D. Prohibit the use of pesticides.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Loss of bees causes failure of food crops
B. Bees are on the decline as global heating worsens
C. Bees may struggle in winds caused by global warming
D. Artificial flowers are used for threatened bee populations
D
French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface. So the globul shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the joy and efficiency of sails.
The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say that the cargo ships won’t use their engines at all, but the kite will take some pressure off of those engines and will reduce the need for fuel. The wind will move the ship, just like it did for hundreds of years in the old days before industrialization.
Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency. Shipping is also a massive industry, and one worth focusing on for lowering emissions. About 90% of the world’s traded goods are moved around via shipping vessels (大船), according to the International Chamber of Shipping.
Some companies are expecting this new version of sails. Japanese shipping company, “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested more than $2 million in funding.
32. What is French company Airseas trying to do?
A. Participate in kite-flying competitions. B. Make sea exploration easy and joyful.
C. Produce big kites to be used for sailing D. Ship cargoes with low fuel consumption.
33. What’s the feature of the Seawing?
A. It will completely replace engines. B. It will be a light-weight device.
C. It will be easily operated by crews. D. It will follow the cargo vessel at sea.
34. Why is the airline industry mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To confirm a prediction. B. To make a comparison.
C. To lead in a new topic. D. To analyze cause and effect.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. The shipping industry is getting popular again.
B. The GHG emissions are being greatly reduced.
C. Seawing factories are to be opened in Europe,
D. Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions.

第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

【答案】17. B 18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】 W: I’m glad to be here to talk about my gap year, which took place over two decades ago. I decided to go to the island of Bali. I really wanted to volunteer at a national park, but I was too late to apply so I went for a job at a diving center. This turned out to be better than what I considered, like helping in a school.
When it comes to packing, obviously you need your travel documents, your phone and charger. Then think about any medicine you might need. How did I stay in touch with family? When I first arrived, I wrote a letter every week. They took at least four weeks to arrive though. Then, when I met someone else who had a blog, I realized that that’s the thing to do. A phone call is nice, but the time difference can make that difficult.
There are lots of things you’ll need to adapt to when you’re in another country. The language of course. But luckily, so many people speak English. And I knew I’d struggle with the hot food. I hadn’t realized the effect the climate would have on us, though. Generally speaking, I really enjoyed my time away. It’s a good way to make friends, and you gain confidence too.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The least-visited countries in the world
It’s every traveler’s dream — a corner of the planet still undisturbed by tourists. And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally.
Liechtenstein (69,000)
The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered.
Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it.
French Guiana (199,000)
French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life.
While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the construction is in need of some attention.
Montserrat (9,000)
Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted.
These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserra’s main attractions, together with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters.
Comoros (24,000)
This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life.
Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs(礁) just waiting to be explored by divers.
21. Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers?
A. Montserrat. B. Comoros.
C. Liechtenstein. D. French Guiana.
22. What do we know about French Guiana?
A. It has a rich diversity of species.
B. Its construction is new and advanced.
C. It is the least-visited country in the world.
D. Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle.
23. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common?
A. They have thick forests.
B. They are destinations for divers.
C. They have recovered from natural disasters.
D. They were badly destroyed by volcanic eruptions.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇广告布告类阅读。本文主要介绍了由联合国旅游组织最新发布的全球四个游客去的最少的国家。

B
When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.
When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way.
On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything.
How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel.
24. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble?
A. Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious.
25. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect.
26. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Everything in social media is not true.
B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world.
C. People like to share their privacy in social media.
D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance.
27. What should parents do to their kids?
A. Tell them to behave themselves.
B. Praise their kids for their appearance.
C. Set a positive example for their kids.
D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过女儿被队友的话语伤害这件事儿引发了对于孩子自我价值教育的思考。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her.(当我问她时,她告诉我,一个队友说她牙齿黄。我为她感到心碎。)”可知,作者在听到女儿苦恼后,作者心碎了,故作者是伤心的,故选C。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词shield前文内容“I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth.(我想要保护她的耳朵,不去听到那些可能会影响她的自我价值的那些不友好的话语。)”可推知,此处划线词所在的句子与前文构成排比,故此处的划线词shield与前文内容中的protect意思相近,意为“保护她的眼镜不看到那些杂志、电视和电影呈现的不真实的美”,故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality.(在社交媒体上,这场战斗变得异常激烈。每天我们都那些被人们过着‘最好的生活’所轰炸,所有都是过滤后只突出‘最好’的那部分:最佳角度、最佳位置、最佳服装和最佳发型。我们很少能看到现实。)”可推知,媒体上呈现的都是过滤后的“最好”的东西,我们很少能看到现实的东西,故媒体上的东西并非都是现实的,故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others.(孩子是令人难以置信的模仿者,因此要注意你的言语,即使当你在孩子没有在听的时候。如果我们不断地贬低自己,我们的孩子也会效仿。相反,当谈到自我价值时,要采取积极的态度。而且,努力教会你的孩子看到自己和他人的内在美。)”可知,孩子是一个模仿者,因此当谈到自我价值时,我们要积极面对,孩子才能效仿我们,也同样积极面对,因此我们应给孩子树立一个正确的榜样,故选C。
C
Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.
But the researchers are trying to help them: it is a controlled experiment that reveals how high wind speeds significantly reduce the efficiency of their feeding.
With no wind, the bees on average took nectar (花蜜) from 5.45 flowers during their 90-second time trial. When wind speeds were increased, this fell to an average of 3.73 flowers.
Researchers also examined the indirect impact of higher winds by moving the flowers.
The findings reveal that, while flower movement did not appear to have an effect on the bees, the movement of air from the fans made them much more hesitant to take off from a flower, with time taken ranging from an initial 0.05 seconds to 54 seconds.
Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees’ body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.
“With wind speeds predicted to increase in the years ahead, understanding how we can help bees in a changing climate is becoming ever more pressing. Although we can’t do much to control or stop the wind, we can take steps to reduce its impact on bees, such as placing hives in sheltered locations,” said Hennessy.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned last year that the decline in global bee populations was a “threat to global food security and diversity”.
Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, said:“Bees already face many pressures in the modern world, such as loss of habitats and exposure to pesticides (杀虫剂), and a great many are in decline. Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw.”
28. What task did the researchers set for the bees?
A. Identifying the new route.
B. Surviving in extreme conditions.
C. Feeding under different wind speeds.
D. Distinguishing various kinds of flowers.
29. What probably makes a bee hesitant to take off from a flower?
A. A full stomach.
B. Loss of balance.
C. Changed flower positions.
D. Reduced body temperature.
30. What can we do to reduce the impact of high winds on bees?
A. Stop the wind.
B. Restore their habitats.
C. Address climate change.
D. Prohibit the use of pesticides.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Loss of bees causes failure of food crops
B. Bees are on the decline as global heating worsens
C. Bees may struggle in winds caused by global warming
D. Artificial flowers are used for threatened bee populations
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个关于风速对蜜蜂进食效率的影响的实验,进而引出蜜蜂当下所面临的困境,并引发对于如何解决这一问题的思考。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.(几十只蜜蜂通常在离开校园花园的蜂巢后以野花为食,它们被骗进小屋,以一朵人造花为食。一次只允许一只蜜蜂进入,并在不同的风扇速度下对它们造访人造花进行录像和计时,模拟了平静和有风的日子)”可知,研究人员为蜜蜂设置的任务是在不同的风速下进食。故选C。
29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees’ body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.(这项研究的主要作者Georgia Hennessy说,风导致蜜蜂迟疑的一个可能原因是风速的小幅增加降低了蜜蜂的体温,因此它们需要更长的时间来预热起飞所需的飞行肌群)”可知,降低的体温导致蜜蜂从一朵花到另一朵花的迟疑。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw.(应对气候变化下日益多风的天气可能是最后一根稻草)”可知,应对风变多的天气是最后的办法,故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章内容,尤其第一段本“Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.(几十只蜜蜂通常在离开校园花园的蜂巢后以野花为食,它们被骗进小屋,以一朵人造花为食。一次只允许一只蜜蜂进入,并在不同的风扇速度下对它们造访人造花进行录像和计时,模拟了平静和有风的日子)”和最后一段的“Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw.(应对气候变化下日益多风的天气可能是最后一根稻草)”可知,文主要围绕风速对于蜜蜂进食速率的影响的相关研究,进而引申出当下蜜蜂所面临的困境,以及如何解决该问题。故C项“蜜蜂可能会在全球变暖引起的大风中挣扎”可以作为本文标题。故选C。
D
French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface. So the globul shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the joy and efficiency of sails.
The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say that the cargo ships won’t use their engines at all, but the kite will take some pressure off of those engines and will reduce the need for fuel. The wind will move the ship, just like it did for hundreds of years in the old days before industrialization.
Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency. Shipping is also a massive industry, and one worth focusing on for lowering emissions. About 90% of the world’s traded goods are moved around via shipping vessels (大船), according to the International Chamber of Shipping.
Some companies are expecting this new version of sails. Japanese shipping company, “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested more than $2 million in funding.
32. What is French company Airseas trying to do?
A. Participate in kite-flying competitions. B. Make sea exploration easy and joyful.
C. Produce big kites to be used for sailing D. Ship cargoes with low fuel consumption.
33. What’s the feature of the Seawing?
A. It will completely replace engines. B. It will be a light-weight device.
C. It will be easily operated by crews. D. It will follow the cargo vessel at sea.
34. Why is the airline industry mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To confirm a prediction. B. To make a comparison.
C. To lead in a new topic. D. To analyze cause and effect.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. The shipping industry is getting popular again.
B. The GHG emissions are being greatly reduced.
C. Seawing factories are to be opened in Europe,
D. Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是法国Airseas公司正在研发一种大型风筝以帮助轮船减少油耗,降低温室气体排放。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface.(法国公司Airseas承诺帮助货船减少燃料消耗,并将其温室气体排放量平均减少20%。他们正在用一个1000平方米的风筝来做这件事,它将在水面以上300米(984英尺)的地方飞行。)”及第二段首句“The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026.(目前正在开发船舶大小的大型风筝,该公司计划在2026年开设生产Seawing的工厂。)”可知,法国航空公司想制作用于航海的大风筝,故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky.(一旦制造出来,Airseas承诺在货船上发射和操作Seawing将是自动化的,使其易于船员使用。风筝和发射它的设备安装在船的甲板上,船员只需按几个按钮,一个大风筝就会升上天空。)”可知,在货船上发射和操作 Seawing将是自动化,风等设备就在船的甲板上,船员按几个按钮风筝就能升空。简言之, Seawing 的特点就是容易操作。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021(减少20%的排放量似乎不是什么大事,但在公海上来回运输大量货物产生的温室气体排放量占世界温室气体排放量的3%。这比航空业还要多,航空业在2021年的排放量约占全球的2%)”可知,将排放量减少20%似乎不是什么大不了的事,但在公海上来回运输大量货物造成了世界3%的温室气体排放,这比航空业还多,航空业在2021年的排放量约占世界的2%。由此推断,该段提到航空业是为了进行对比说明。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface.(法国公司Airseas承诺帮助货船减少燃料消耗,并将其温室气体排放量平均减少20%。他们正在用一个1000平方米的风筝来做这件事,它将在水面以上300米(984英尺)的地方飞行。)”可知,文章主要介绍法国Airseas公司正在研发一种在水面上方300米处飞行的1000平方米的风筝,可以帮助轮船降低20%的温室气体排放,因此最好的题目是D选项“Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions.(船上的风筝有助于减少航运排放。)”。故选D。

第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Jane和丈夫出门露营时,由于与丈夫产生分歧,简自己离开,最终迷路,等待救援的故事。
【66题详解】
①根据第一段“One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel.(七月的一个周末,Jane和她的丈夫汤姆驱车三个小时,在森林里的一个湖边露营过夜。不幸的是,在路上,一个不愉快的话题出现了,他们开始吵架)”可知,Jane和丈夫Tom在去湖边露营的路上吵架,空处应用动词quarrel,文段描述过去的一般情况,使用一般过去时,动词使用过去式形式。故填quarreled。
②根据第一段“By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, ‘I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp’ and walked away.(当他们到达湖边时,简非常生气,她对Tom说:‘我要找个更好的地方露营’,然后走开了)”可知,Jane感觉生气,所以一时冲动,走开去找一个更好的露营地,空处应用名词anger的形容词形式angry,作表语。故填angry。
③根据第二段“After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.(爬到高处后,她转过身来,希望能看到湖。令她惊讶的是,她只看到了森林,远远地,一座白雪皑皑的山顶。她突然意识到自己迷路了)”可知,Jane爬到高处时,意识到自己迷路了,空处应用动词realize,句中已有谓语found,realize作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语she之间是主动关系,使用现在分词形式作状语。故填realizing。
④根据第三段“‘Tom!’ she cried. ‘Help!’(‘Tom!’她喊道。‘救命!’)”以及第四段“No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom.(没有回复。要是她没有把手机忘在Tom的那个包里就好了)”可知,Jane没有带手机,无法联系到Tom,处于困境中,Jane会感觉绝望,空处应用形容词hopeless,作表语。故填hopeless。
⑤根据第四段“Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family.(Jane在黑暗中醒着躺着,非常想和Tom和她的家人在一起)”可知,Jane一个人在黑暗中醒着躺着,空处应用形容词awake。故填awake。
⑥根据第四段“Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family.(Jane在黑暗中醒着躺着,非常想和Tom和她的家人在一起)”可知,Jane想要抱着丈夫Tom告诉自己有多爱他,并且对Tom说抱歉,由此可推知,此时的Jane感觉后悔,空处应用regret的形容词形式regretful,作表语。故填regretful。
⑦根据第五段“Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries.(Jane在黎明时分起来,又饿又渴。她能听到远处某处有滴水声。她很快跟着声音来到一条小溪边。令她非常高兴的是,她还看到了一些浆果丛。她喝了一些水,吃了几颗浆果)”可知,找到小溪后,Jane解决了饿和渴的问题,空处与thirst并列,作of的宾语,应用hungry的名词形式hunger。故填hunger。
⑧根据第五段“She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.(她喝了一些水,吃了几颗浆果。她一生中从未尝过比这更好的东西。现在感觉好多了,简开始沿着小溪走,希望它能把她带到湖边)”可知,Jane喝了水,吃了浆果,感觉比以前好点儿,即比以前感觉更强壮点儿,空处应用形容词strong的比较级形式stronger。故填stronger。
⑨根据最后一段“As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.(当Jane小心翼翼地沿着小溪走时,她听到了直升机的声音。那是给我的吗?不幸的是,树木使人们无法从上面看到她)”可知,树木的存在挡住了Jane,使得直升机无法看到Jane,空处应用动词cover,文段描述过去的一般情况,使用一般过去时,动词使用过去式形式。故填covered。
⑩根据最后一段“Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.(Jane脱下黄色上衣,心想如果他们再回来,她应该去一个开阔的地方给他们发出信号)”以及语境可知,Jane迷路被困,直升机成为了Jane的希望之光,所以空处应用名词light。故填light。
【67题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第一段中“By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, ‘I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp’ and walked away.(当他们到达湖边时,Jane非常生气,她对Tom说:‘我要找一个更好的地方露营。’然后走开了)”可知,在户外露营时Jane很生气,冲动之下独自走开,这说明她不理性;根据倒数第二段“Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.(Jane在黎明时分起来,又饿又渴。她能听到远处某处有滴水声。她很快跟着声音来到一条小溪边。令她非常高兴的是,她还看到了一些浆果丛。她喝了一些水,吃了几颗浆果。她一生中从未尝过比这更好的东西。现在感觉好多了,简开始沿着小溪走,希望它能把她带到湖边)”和最后一段中“A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.(几分钟后,另一架直升机从头顶飞过。简脱下她的黄色上衣,心想如果他们再来,她应该到空旷的地方打个招呼)”可知,Jane又渴又饿,听到水声后循声找到一条小溪和浆果丛,填饱了肚子,看到直升机后设法求救,这说明她聪明、冷静且有决心。故答案为Irrational; intelligent; calm; determined.
【68题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.(当简小心翼翼地沿着小溪走时,她听到了直升机的声音。那是给我的吗?不幸的是,树木使人们无法从上面看到她。几分钟后,另一架直升机飞过头顶。简脱下黄色上衣,心想如果他们再回来,她应该去一个开阔的地方给他们发出信号)”可知,如果直升机返回,简可能会像她计划的那样,脱下黄色上衣,从开阔地带向直升机发出信号,最终得救。故答案为Jane would be saved eventually by signaling to a helicopter from an open area if it returned, as she planned by removing her yellow blouse.
【69题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第一段“By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, ‘I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp’ and walked away.(当他们到达湖边时,简非常生气,她对汤姆说:“我要找个更好的地方露营”,然后走开了)”以及第二段“With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.(没有路可走,Jane只是走了很长一段时间。爬到高处后,她转过身来,希望能看到湖。令她惊讶的是,她只看到了森林,远远地,一座白雪皑皑的山顶。她突然意识到自己迷路了)”可知,由于没能在与丈夫Tom的分歧中保持冷静,Jane没有做任何准备就离开,导致迷路,由此可推知,从这次经历中,Jane可能会学到在分歧中保持冷静的重要性,以及在陌生环境中做好准备和谨慎的必要性。故答案为Jane might learn the importance of staying calm during disagreements and the necessity of being prepared and cautious in unfamiliar environments.
