During the lively Paris Olympics, while the spotlight shone on the athletes, a group of unsung heroes worked tirelessly behind the scenes — the Olympic volunteers. This year, out of 300,000 applicants, around 45,000 were chosen as volunteers, with 20 percent coming from nearly 150 countries. These volunteers wore bright green uniforms (制服) to be easily noticed in the purple venues (场馆). They offered help to viewers and media alike, making them an important part of the Olympic experience.
On my first day as a reporter, I met a technical problem with my media system account. Thankfully, Chinese volunteer Guo came to help me out. “I hope to improve my language, communication skills, and problem- solving methods through this event,” said 24-year-old Guo from Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, who was studying wireless communication at the Paris Institute of Digital Technology. As a former professional swimmer, Guo saw this as her chance to take part in the Olympics, though in a different role. Another Chinese volunteer, Yang, faced challenges in managing her job and volunteer duties. Despite giving up her holidays, she felt great pride in contributing to the event.
One of my most memorable experiences was meeting with a French volunteer. When I needed help to find the visitor center, a young man on a scooter (小型摩托车) appeared, like a sort of “Monkey King riding a cloud”, and offered to take me there. After helping me, he expressed his admiration for the Beijing Olympics and his desire to visit China again.
Volunteers like them were seen everywhere — from bus stops to competition venues — offering directions and helping with a smile. When large crowds left the venues after the events, causing overcrowding, some volunteers sat on high chairs with loudspeakers, providing directions to go outside in both English and French with a smile. These amazing volunteers, truly show the Olympic spirit, making the event and Paris shine even brighter.
24. Why might the volunteers wear bright green uniforms?
A. To stand out in the crowd. B. To show love for athletes.
C. To fit in with the venues. D. To stand for their countries.
25. What do we know about Guo?
A. She found it hard to balance her job and volunteer work.
B. She both swam and volunteered in the Paris Olympics.
C. She wanted to improve herself through volunteer work.
D. She wasn’t as patient and helpful as the French volunteer.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To doubt the organization of the Paris Olympics,
B. To praise the service of Paris Olympic volunteers.
C. To show the meaning of hosting Olympic Games.
D. To provide a detailed schedule of Olympic events.
27. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By listing the benefits of volunteer work.
B. By discussing historical Olympic events.
C. By comparing different views on Olympics.
D. By sharing personal stories and experiences.

How long do donkeys (驴) live? Do they live longer than horses? Donkeys can live for quite a number of years although there are many things to consider that will enable a donkey to live a long and healthy life. In the wild, donkeys can live into their mid-teens, while domesticated (驯养) donkeys can live a much longer life. It’s generally considered that an aged donkey is one that is over 20 years old, but many donkeys live into their 30s, with some going on into their 40s, or extremely rarely, their fifth decade. This is more the case in donkeys kept as pets rather than as working donkeys.
Donkeys tend to live longer than horses live, and this comes down to biological reasons and species differences. As equines (马科动物) age, it becomes more difficult for them to bite their food into pieces and take in the energy they need to maintain a healthy body weight. For horses, this can be a real problem. However, a donkey’s digestive (消化的) system is much more efficient, meaning a donkey only requires 50% — 75% of the food that a horse of a similar size would need. Their ability to get the energy out of their food, will be able to help them survive on a diet that wouldn’t support a horse of the same size and weight.
Domestic donkeys first came from the African wild donkeys, who lived in the difficult, dry environment of areas of Northeast Africa. This means they are better suited feeding on bushes (灌木) and are better suited surviving on wild vegetation.
That is one of the reasons why domestication has helped both species, and how specific feed, such as short cut, enables both species to get the nutrition they need. At international animal welfare charity, The Donkey Sanctuary, part of their ongoing care as donkeys age is to alter their diet as suitable. The care they get there will hopefully see them living a healthy, happy life.
28. At what age do donkeys start to be considered old?
A. 20. B. 30. C. 40. D. 50.
29. What affects how long a domestic donkey lives according to the text?
A. Its size. B. Its food choice.
C. Which country it comes from. D. Whether it’s a pet or a working animal.
30. Why do donkeys live longer than horses?
A. Donkeys like eating short- cut plants.
B. Donkeys have better digestive ability.
C. Donkeys prefer various kinds of food.
D. Donkeys have better living conditions.
31. What does the underlined word “alter” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Increase. B. Reduce. C. Doubt. D. Change.
D
Climate change is speeding up the frequency and seriousness of extreme(极端的) weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. Besides, traditional weather forecast(预报) models in sub- Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events accurately(准确地) ahead of time, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, accurate and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy of extreme weather forecasts. By using both physical atmospheric processes in traditional forecasting and AI, researchers develop a first- of- its- kind new modeling approach to give more accurate rainfall forecasts.“ We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed,” explains Shruti Nath, a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations an affordable way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
Traditionally, many forecasting organizations in Africa did not have good computational resources. The project is supported by an IT company, which provides funding and computational resources. This approach gives them the ability to use AI to make forecasting at the least computational expense.
The model is currently being rolled out in Kenya and Ethiopia. If successful in East Africa, researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
32. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph?
A. The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. Little progress has been made in weather forecasts.
33. How does the new weather forecast model work?
A. It needs much less observational data.
B. It uses supercomputers to process data.
C. It combines AI with the traditional method.
D. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
34. What can we say about the new weather forecast model?
A. It runs easily. B. It is low- cost.
C It doesn’t work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
B. Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast in Sub- Saharan Africa
D. The Challenges Faced by Traditional Weather Forecast Model

Kenneth was born and raised in California. The sun, the beaches, and the friends he’d known since kindergarten were all part of his world. But at the age of 16, everything changed. His parents got new jobs in Ohio, and the family had to move there. It was a difficult decision, as it meant leaving behind everything Kenneth knew and loved.
Along with the move came a new school for Kenneth. He felt upset every time he thought about saying goodbye to his school. He was scared of the change, like the new city, the new school, and the new people he would meet. He didn’t know if he could fit in or if he would be lonely there.
After a long journey across the country, the family arrived and finally settled in Ohio. When it was time to go to his new school, Kenneth’s mind was filled with worries. What if the students were unfriendly and even cold? What if he didn’t make any friends?
The next morning, Kenneth’s parents drove him to school. His heart was beating in his chest as they pulled up to the big brick building. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the car. With each step towards the school gate, his anxiety grew. He felt like he was walking into a whole new world.
Kenneth was greeted by a school secretary, who was very friendly. Seeing that Kenneth was nervous and shy, she decided to show Kenneth around the school yard first. Kenneth was led to the modern computer lab, the science lab, and the huge gym with a basketball court where Kenneth imagined trying out for the school team. As they walked around, Kenneth gradually felt the school seemed nice, starting to feel a little better.
Finally, they got to the teaching building and headed for Kenneth’s new classroom, and Kenneth’s heart started racing again. The school secretary led him to the door and gave Kennet h an encouraging smile.

During the lively Paris Olympics, while the spotlight shone on the athletes, a group of unsung heroes worked tirelessly behind the scenes — the Olympic volunteers. This year, out of 300,000 applicants, around 45,000 were chosen as volunteers, with 20 percent coming from nearly 150 countries. These volunteers wore bright green uniforms (制服) to be easily noticed in the purple venues (场馆). They offered help to viewers and media alike, making them an important part of the Olympic experience.
On my first day as a reporter, I met a technical problem with my media system account. Thankfully, Chinese volunteer Guo came to help me out. “I hope to improve my language, communication skills, and problem- solving methods through this event,” said 24-year-old Guo from Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, who was studying wireless communication at the Paris Institute of Digital Technology. As a former professional swimmer, Guo saw this as her chance to take part in the Olympics, though in a different role. Another Chinese volunteer, Yang, faced challenges in managing her job and volunteer duties. Despite giving up her holidays, she felt great pride in contributing to the event.
One of my most memorable experiences was meeting with a French volunteer. When I needed help to find the visitor center, a young man on a scooter (小型摩托车) appeared, like a sort of “Monkey King riding a cloud”, and offered to take me there. After helping me, he expressed his admiration for the Beijing Olympics and his desire to visit China again.
Volunteers like them were seen everywhere — from bus stops to competition venues — offering directions and helping with a smile. When large crowds left the venues after the events, causing overcrowding, some volunteers sat on high chairs with loudspeakers, providing directions to go outside in both English and French with a smile. These amazing volunteers, truly show the Olympic spirit, making the event and Paris shine even brighter.
24. Why might the volunteers wear bright green uniforms?
A. To stand out in the crowd. B. To show love for athletes.
C. To fit in with the venues. D. To stand for their countries.
25. What do we know about Guo?
A. She found it hard to balance her job and volunteer work.
B. She both swam and volunteered in the Paris Olympics.
C. She wanted to improve herself through volunteer work.
D. She wasn’t as patient and helpful as the French volunteer.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To doubt the organization of the Paris Olympics,
B. To praise the service of Paris Olympic volunteers.
C. To show the meaning of hosting Olympic Games.
D. To provide a detailed schedule of Olympic events.
27. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By listing the benefits of volunteer work.
B. By discussing historical Olympic events.
C. By comparing different views on Olympics.
D. By sharing personal stories and experiences.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D

How long do donkeys (驴) live? Do they live longer than horses? Donkeys can live for quite a number of years, although there are many things to consider that will enable a donkey to live a long and healthy life. In the wild, donkeys can live into their mid-teens, while domesticated (驯养) donkeys can live a much longer life. It’s generally considered that an aged donkey is one that is over 20 years old, but many donkeys live into their 30s, with some going on into their 40s, or extremely rarely, their fifth decade. This is more the case in donkeys kept as pets rather than as working donkeys.
Donkeys tend to live longer than horses live, and this comes down to biological reasons and species differences. As equines (马科动物) age, it becomes more difficult for them to bite their food into pieces and take in the energy they need to maintain a healthy body weight. For horses, this can be a real problem. However, a donkey’s digestive (消化的) system is much more efficient, meaning a donkey only requires 50% — 75% of the food that a horse of a similar size would need. Their ability to get the energy out of their food, will be able to help them survive on a diet that wouldn’t support a horse of the same size and weight.
Domestic donkeys first came from the African wild donkeys, who lived in the difficult, dry environment of areas of Northeast Africa. This means they are better suited feeding on bushes (灌木) and are better suited surviving on wild vegetation.
That is one of the reasons why domestication has helped both species, and how specific feed, such as short cut, enables both species to get the nutrition they need. At international animal welfare charity, The Donkey Sanctuary, part of their ongoing care as donkeys age is to alter their diet as suitable. The care they get there will hopefully see them living a healthy, happy life.
28. At what age do donkeys start to be considered old?
A. 20. B. 30. C. 40. D. 50.
29. What affects how long a domestic donkey lives according to the text?
A. Its size. B. Its food choice.
C. Which country it comes from. D. Whether it’s a pet or a working animal.
30. Why do donkeys live longer than horses?
A. Donkeys like eating short- cut plants.
B. Donkeys have better digestive ability.
C. Donkeys prefer various kinds of food.
D. Donkeys have better living conditions.
31. What does the underlined word “alter” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Increase. B. Reduce. C. Doubt. D. Change.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了驴的驯养方式对其寿命的影响并分析了驴比马寿命更长的原因。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It’s generally considered that an aged donkey is one that is over 20 years old(人们普遍认为,一头老驴是指20岁以上的驴)”可知,超过20岁的驴就被认为是老龄驴,故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It’s generally considered that an aged donkey is one that is over 20 years old, but many donkeys live into their 30s, with some going on into their 40s, or extremely rarely, their fifth decade. This is more the case in donkeys kept as pets rather than as working donkeys.(人们普遍认为,一头老驴是指20岁以上的驴,但许多驴活到了30多岁,有些甚至活到了40多岁,或者极少数活到了50多岁。在作为宠物而不是工作驴饲养的驴中情况更是如此。)”可知,作为宠物饲养的驴比作为工作动物饲养的驴活得更久。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。。根据文章第二段“However, a donkey’s digestive(消化的) system is much more efficient, meaning a donkey only requires 50%-75% of the food that a horse of a similar size would need. (然而,驴的消化系统要高效得多,这意味着一只驴只需要体型相似的马所需食物的50%-75%。)”可知,驴的消化能力更好,故选B。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词alter前文的内容“That is one of the reasons why domestication has helped both species, and how specific feed, such as short cut, enables both species to get the nutrition they need.(这就是为什么驯化对两个物种都有帮助的原因之一,以及特定的喂养方式,如切短饲料,能让这两个物种都能获得所需的营养。)”可知,前文提到需要特定的喂养方式,因此随着驴年龄的变化,护理它们的工作也在变化,故此处划线词alter与D项“改变”意思相近,年龄在增长,护理工作在变化,因此饮食也需要变化,故选D。
D
Climate change is speeding up the frequency and seriousness of extreme(极端的) weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. Besides, traditional weather forecast(预报) models in sub- Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events accurately(准确地) ahead of time, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, accurate and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy of extreme weather forecasts. By using both physical atmospheric processes in traditional forecasting and AI, researchers develop a first- of- its- kind new modeling approach to give more accurate rainfall forecasts.“ We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed,” explains Shruti Nath, a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations an affordable way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
Traditionally, many forecasting organizations in Africa did not have good computational resources. The project is supported by an IT company, which provides funding and computational resources. This approach gives them the ability to use AI to make forecasting at the least computational expense.
The model is currently being rolled out in Kenya and Ethiopia. If successful in East Africa, researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
32. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph?
A. The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. Little progress has been made in weather forecasts.
33. How does the new weather forecast model work?
A. It needs much less observational data.
B. It uses supercomputers to process data.
C. It combines AI with the traditional method.
D. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
34. What can we say about the new weather forecast model?
A. It runs easily. B. It is low- cost.
C. It doesn’t work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
B. Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast in Sub- Saharan Africa
D. The Challenges Faced by Traditional Weather Forecast Model
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kenneth was born and raised in California. The sun, the beaches, and the friends he’d known since kindergarten were all part of his world. But at the age of 16, everything changed. His parents got new jobs in Ohio, and the family had to move there. It was a difficult decision, as it meant leaving behind everything Kenneth knew and loved.
Along with the move came a new school for Kenneth. He felt upset every time he thought about saying goodbye to his school. He was scared of the change, like the new city, the new school, and the new people he would meet. He didn’t know if he could fit in or if he would be lonely there.
After a long journey across the country, the family arrived and finally settled in Ohio. When it was time to go to his new school, Kenneth’s mind was filled with worries. What if the students were unfriendly and even cold? What if he didn’t make any friends?
The next morning, Kenneth’s parents drove him to school. His heart was beating in his chest as they pulled up to the big brick building. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the car. With each step towards the school gate, his anxiety grew. He felt like he was walking into a whole new world.
Kenneth was greeted by a school secretary, who was very friendly. Seeing that Kenneth was nervous and shy, she decided to show Kenneth around the school yard first. Kenneth was led to the modern computer lab, the science lab, and the huge gym with a basketball court where Kenneth imagined trying out for the school team. As they walked around, Kenneth gradually felt the school seemed nice, starting to feel a little better.
Finally, they got to the teaching building and headed for Kenneth’s new classroom, and Kenneth’s heart started racing again. The school secretary led him to the door and gave Kennet h an encouraging smile.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Kenneth took a deep breath and entered the classroom. He noticed that all eyes were on him as he walked in. It was quiet for a moment and he felt his face got hot. Trying to calm himself down, he knew he was supposed to introduce himself. Though his voice was shaky, Kenneth managed to tell them a little about himself. After the introduction, the class clapped and cheered warmly and they seemed happy to have him there, which was quite a surprise and comfort for Kenneth. He became a little less nervous, and he started to feel like maybe he could make friends here.
As the day went on, Kenneth found that what he had worried was unnecessary. The classes were interesting, and the teachers were helpful. During the breaks, he was surrounded by the enthusiastic classmates and they chatted about their interests and had fun together. After school, some of the students invited him to play basketball in the school gym. The day ended up with surprise. Kenneth realized that change wasn’t always bad. It was scary at first, but it had led him to new experiences and friendships. He learned that he was stronger than he thought and that he could adapt to new situations.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Kenneth因父母在俄亥俄州找到新工作,不得不从熟悉的加利福尼亚搬到陌生的俄亥俄。16岁的他对离开熟悉的一切感到不舍,同时对新城市、新学校和即将遇到的新人们充满恐惧和担忧。一家人长途跋涉到达俄亥俄后,在去新学校的那天,Kenneth内心十分焦虑。到校后,一位友好的学校秘书迎接了他,并带他参观了学校的现代化计算机实验室、科学实验室和有篮球场的大体育馆等地方,这让Kenneth逐渐觉得学校还不错,心情稍有好转。最后他们来到教学楼,走向Kenneth的新教室时,他的心又开始紧张起来。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Kenneth深呼吸,走进了教室。”可知,第一段可描写他走进教室后其他人的反应,他觉得自己的脸发烫,声音颤抖,向全班介绍了自己,全班鼓掌欢呼,他感到欣喜和安慰,也不紧张了。
②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的流逝,肯尼斯发现他一直担心的事情是不必要的。”可知,第二段可描写学校的课程很有趣,老师热情,课后被同学们包围,一起玩得很开心,使得Kenneth意识到改变并不是坏事,了解到自己比想象的要强壮。
2.续写线索:走进教室——目光——脸发烫——冷静——自我介绍——鼓掌——不紧张——课程有趣——热情的同学——打篮球——惊喜——感悟
