What does the research show? A. Cats rely upon humans to feel safe. B. Cats treat humans like their fellows. C. Cats’ reputation as a cold pet is true. 19. Why do cats expose their stomachs? A. To beg for food. B. To ask for a belly rub. C. To show their trust. 20. How do cats greet other cats they don’t know? A. By staring at them. B. By raising their tails. C. By touching legs. 【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】Research shows cats’ reputation as a cold pet is untrue. Because of their evolutionary ancestry, domestic cats are, by their nature, more independent than dogs. While they may not rely upon people to feel safe as dogs do, many cats show love towards their owners. Cats behave towards humans in the same way that they respond to other cats, so the secret of whether your cats feel bonded to you lies in their behavior. One of the most obvious signs that your cats are fond of you is the way that they greet you. A tail held in the upright flagpole position shows a friendly intention, indicating familiarity and trust. Cats sometimes twist their tails together as a sign of friendship. They usually wrap their tails around people’s legs to show affection. Rolling over and exposing their stomachs is another gesture that a cat has the greatest trust in you. This is not usually a request for a belly rub. Attempts to stroke a cat’s belly will often result in an escape. Your cats might also secretly show their love in the way they look at you. When cats encounter strange humans or other cats they don’t know, they usually greet them with a stare. But they are likely to slowly blink at cats they have a good relationship with. 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2. 5分，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 Are you ready to become an international UN Volunteer?

And then, at the height of my desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’re not very flexible,” my friend gently reminded me. She wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself in an attempt to stretch. Also, my track record for physical activity wasn’t great: With short periods on the badminton court, a brief try at cycling, and an on-and-off relationship with swimming, I could see how I didn’t exactly look like prospective ballet material. However, I was determined to give it a try. This wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. My classes were physically demanding and my muscles were achy. But this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio now brought me a fresh perspective. I hadn’t anticipated that my teacher’s instructions would change my way of being in the world. When I tried to extend my foot to the side, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about “struggling for perfection”. The idea that my body is still a work in progress encourages me. Ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body, and instead of noticing only the older age, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of and the changes I’ve seen as I’ve learned to stand with more confidence and courage. The imperfections? They’re part of being alive. Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At the age of 50, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. 24. What made the author determined to try ballet? A. Her need for freshness in midlife. B. Her failure in various sports. C. Her desire to perform ballet well. D. Her talent for physical activities. 25. What effect did the ballet teacher’s words have on the author? A. Forcing her to rethink each movement. B. Motivating her to practice even harder. C. Shifting her focus to the progress she made. D. Changing her attitude towards ballet dancing. 26. Why did the author call herself a lifelong advanced beginner? A. Because she has mastered ballet completely. B. Because she sticks to beginner ballet classes. C. Because she regrets starting ballet too late in life. D. Because she continues dancing despite challenges. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Imperfection should be avoided at all costs. B. Only through hardwork can one achieve perfection. C. The pursuit of perfection matters more than the result. D. Middle-aged people should make well-informed decisions. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者中年学芭蕾，领悟追求完美比结果更重要经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. And then, at the height of my desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.(在我40岁出头时候，我已经尝试了所有本应让我在进入中年时感觉更好的爱好。然后，在我绝望到极点的时候，我决定报名参加一个芭蕾舞班)”可知，作者在中年时尝试了各种爱好，但都没有让她感觉更好，因此她决定尝试芭蕾舞，以寻求新鲜感。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段中“When I tried to extend my foot to the side, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about “struggling for perfection”. The idea that my body is still a work in progress encourages me. Ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body, and instead of noticing only the older age, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of and the changes I’ve seen as I’ve learned to stand with more confidence and courage.(当我试图把脚伸到一边时，我的老师提醒我，芭蕾舞不是关于完美的。相反，他说，这是关于“为完美而奋斗”。我的身体仍在不断进步的想法鼓舞了我。芭蕾舞迫使我重新思考我与身体的关系，我不再只注意到年龄的增长，而是现在对我的身体所能做的事情以及我随着学会更加自信和勇敢地站立而看到的变化感到惊讶)”可知，芭蕾舞老师的话让作者不再只关注自己的不完美，而是开始关注自己的进步和身体所能做的事情，即老师的话使作者将注意力转移到了她所取得的进步上。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At the age of 50, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.(上了八年的芭蕾舞课，我就是你们所说的终身高级初学者。在50岁的时候，我专注于自己的呼吸，以一种总是挑战我的方式移动身体，并提醒我一切皆有可能)”可知，作者虽然已经上了八年的芭蕾舞课，但她仍然称自己为“终身高级初学者”，因为她继续跳舞，尽管面临着挑战，她仍然在不断进步。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者在中年时尝试芭蕾舞的经历，以及芭蕾舞老师的话对她的影响。老师告诉她芭蕾舞不是关于完美的，而是关于“为完美而奋斗”，这使作者开始重新思考自己与身体的关系，并关注自己的进步和身体所能做的事情。由此可推知，文章传达的信息是追求完美比结果更重要。故选C。 C Doctors at Great Ormond Street are being encouraged to consider air pollution levels at their patients’ home addresses when assessing the causes of their illnesses, under an innovative pilot scheme. Data showing the average annual air pollution rates at patients’ postcodes has been added to patients’ electronic files so physicians can help families understand whether their child has been exposed to mounting risk. The initiative is a response to criticisms about the case of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, who was nine when she died from asthma (哮喘) 10 years ago, and who in 2020 became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed on her death certificate as a cause of death. Ella’s mother, Rosamund, has noted that she was not given information about the health risks of air pollution and its potential to cause asthma, and the family “would have moved straight away” if she had been told that her daughter was being killed by the air she was breathing. Mark Hayden, who works in the Great Ormond Street hospital, put forward this scheme. Hayden said there had previously been a “significant knowledge gap” at the hospital regarding air pollution and its effects. The negative effects of air pollution on health were not sufficiently communicated to patients and carers by medical and nursing professionals, and called on medical staff to do more to inform families about the dangers of air pollution. Data added to patients’ electronic records provides information on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide, indicates whether they exceed World Health Organization (WHO) safe levels. The information will encourage physicians to think about whether air pollution is a factor in a patient’s illness, and do more to educate patients about the risks of air pollution. Hayden agreed that staff had been apprehensive about talking about the health risks. “Obviously, air quality is a bit harder to fix than an infection. You can’t just give some pills, ” he said. 28. What is the initiative aimed at? A. Removing air pollution. B. Perfecting patients’ files. C. Tracing patients’ illnesses. D. Recording air quality data. 29. What can we know about Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah? A. Her case raised concerns among the public. B. Her death certificate was updated 10 years ago. C. She was the first person in the UK that died from asthma. D. Her mother doubted the information on the death certificate. 30. How does the scheme help fill the “significant knowledge gap” in paragraph 3? A. By warning people of the potential risks. B. By analyzing data based on WHO safety levels. C. By providing suggestions on decreasing air pollution. D. By encouraging communication between patients and doctors. 31. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in last paragraph probably mean? A. Curious. B. Uneasy. C. Relieved. D. Enthusiastic. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Great Ormond Street医院的一项创新试点计划，该计划鼓励医生在评估患者病因时考虑患者家庭住址的空气污染水平。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Doctors at Great Ormond Street are being encouraged to consider air pollution levels at their patients’ home addresses when assessing the causes of their illnesses, under an innovative pilot scheme.(根据一项创新试点计划，大奥蒙德街的医生在评估患者病因时，正被鼓励考虑患者家庭住址的空气污染水平。)”可知，该试点计划旨在让医生在评估患者病因时考虑其居住地的空气污染水平，即通过空气污染数据追溯患者的病因。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The initiative is a response to criticisms about the case of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, who was nine when she died from asthma(哮喘)10 years ago, and who in 2020 became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed on her death certificate as a cause of death. Ella’s mother, Rosamund, has noted that she was not given information about the health risks of air pollution and its potential to cause asthma, and the family “would have moved straight away” if she had been told that her daughter was being killed by the air she was breathing.(这一举措源于对Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah案例的反思。十年前，九岁的Ella因哮喘去世，2020年她成为英国首位死亡证明上将空气污染列为死因的人。Ella的母亲Rosamund指出，当时她未被告知空气污染的健康风险及其引发哮喘的可能性，并表示如果知道女儿正被呼吸的空气 “杀死”，家人“会立刻搬家”。)”可知，Ella的案例是促使该试点计划推出的关键事件，文中提到她的死亡证明在2020年成为英国首份将空气污染列为死因的文件，其母亲也指出若早知空气污染的危害会立即搬家，由此可知，她的案例引发了对空气污染与健康问题的关注。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Hayden said there had previously been a “significant knowledge gap” at the hospital regarding air pollution and its effects. The negative effects of air pollution on health were not sufficiently communicated to patients and carers by medical and nursing professionals, and called on medical staff to do more to inform families about the dangers of air pollution. Data added to patients’ electronic records provides information on fine particulate matter(PM2. 5) and nitrogen dioxide, indicates whether they exceed World Health Organization(WHO)safe levels. The information will encourage physicians to think about whether air pollution is a factor in a patient’s illness, and do more to educate patients about the risks of air pollution. (在大奥蒙德街医院工作的Mark Hayden提出了该计划。他表示，医院此前在空气污染及其影响方面存在“显著的知识缺口”，医护人员未能充分向患者及其照料者传达空气污染对健康的负面影响，并呼吁医务人员更多地告知家庭空气污染的危害。电子病历中添加的数据包含细颗粒物和二氧化氮信息，标明其是否超过世界卫生组织安全水平。这些信息将促使医生思考空气污染是否为患者病因，并加强对患者的空气污染风险教育。)”可知，该计划通过在患者电子档案中添加空气污染数据，促使医生思考空气污染是否为病因，并加强对患者的风险教育，这直接针对此前“医护人员未充分传达空气污染健康风险”的知识缺口，通过提供数据支持来“警告人们潜在风险”。故选A。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Hayden agreed that staff had been apprehensive about talking about the health risks. “Obviously, air quality is a bit harder to fix than an infection. You can’t just give some pills,” he said.( Hayden承认，医护人员此前对谈论健康风险……。“显然，空气质量问题比感染更难解决，你不能只是开些药片。”他说。)”可推测，因为该问题难以像治疗感染一样通过药物解决，医护人员对谈论空气污染健康风险存在顾虑或者感到不安。选项B“uneasy”，意为“不安的”，与此相符。故选B。 D When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947). Who would write the first great novel of the latest era? Two of America’s novelists, Michael Cunningham and Sigrid Nunez, have recently published novels that try to carry this tradition. The narrator of The Vulnerables by Ms Nunez is an older writer who lives in New York and has all the concerns of a middle-aged, middle-class American living in the 21st century. She ends up in an apartment alone, but her real crisis is literary. Suffering from writer's block, she concludes that “the traditional novel” has lost its “urgency” now. Mr Cunningham's Day, coincidentally, is just the kind of traditional novel Ms Nunez suggests is now outdated. It tells the story of a young family in New York — Dan, an ageing singer, and Isabel, a photo editor, have two young children. His recent unemployment accelerates the breakdown of their marriage and the relationships of several other people they know. Day is alive with all of the small thoughts, looks and feelings that the global financial crisis caused. Unlike historical transformations during previous centuries, the impacts of current events on novels have so far been weakened. With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham’s books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory. Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground. As people’s depression gradually gave way to the optimism of the digital age, they soon slipped right back into normality. The same is proving true for fiction. Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same. 32. Why does the author mention Jhon Steinbeck and Albert Camus in paragraph 1? A. To set a standard. B. To raise a question. C. To clarify a confusion. D. To illustrate a phenomenon. 33. What do The Vulnerables and Day have in common? A. Both belong to traditional novels. B. Both present characters faced with crises. C. Both are written in first-person perspective. D. Both reveal mental issues caused by unemployment. 34. What is the significance of Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham's books? A. They adopt novel subject matters. B. They highlight changes in family relationships. C. They serve as records of a special but passing period. D. They push the boundaries of fiction for their contemporaries. 35. Which best describes the author’s attitude towards the two novels? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了两部小说The Vulnerables和Day如何反映当前社会危机对人们生活的影响，并对这些作品的文学价值进行了评价。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的句子“When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947).(当世界面临越来越多的危机时，包括气候变化和经济衰退，作家和评论家发现他们手中有比平时更多的灵感和材料，想知道这些戏剧性的变化会如何影响小说。文学记录和塑造了全球事件，如约翰·斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》（1939）和阿尔伯特·加缪对霍乱爆发的想象——《瘟疫》（1947）。)”可知，作者提到这些作家是为了说明文学如何记录和被全球事件塑造这种现象。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same.(这两部小说都提醒读者，他们的生活在危机中发生了多大的变化，但至少对作家和文学读者来说，有多少东西保持不变。)”可知，这两部小说都展示了人物在危机中面临的挑战。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez's and Mr Cunningham's books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory.(随着科技加速了人们的生活节奏，努涅斯女士和坎宁安先生的书可能最好被视为某个时代的文件，而这个时代现在似乎越来越遥远。)”可知，这些书作为记录一个特殊但逐渐成为过去的时期的文献具有重要意义。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground.(尽管题材新颖，但这些书并没有突破文学领域。)”可知，作者对这两部小说持客观态度，认为它们虽然有新的主题，但并未在文学上取得突破。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 I was always shy. As a new student in the school, I spent most days staring at my desk, which made it surprising that I chatted to someone around me one day. ____36____ That would take all night! After I got home, I took my time petting the cat, postponing the pain. When I finally sat down to write the five-page essay, I began with the reasons Ms. Black would want to hear. First of all, talking in class would keep me and my neighbors from learning. I wrote wildly and one paragraph down. ____37____ What if talking were the first step towards life as a bad person? I started picturing my future as a failed bank robber. Without the education I was throwing away, I’d turn to a criminal and go to prison! When I got out, people would point fingers at me and say, “She used to talk in class.” ____38____ But when mum got home from work, I was still roaring, “Five pages! That’s impossible!” “Well, you’d better get back to work,” she said, “and I want to read it when you’re through.” Shortly after dinner, the essay packed with my complaints was handed to mum. ____39____ Instead, mum laughed so hard that she had to wipe her eyes, “Oh, this is going to be memorable. ” The next day, as Ms. Black read my essay aloud, the class erupted into laughter. ____40____ The essay didn’t cure my shyness overnight, but I did learn I wasn’t shy in print. My face burned, but for the first time, it wasn’t from shame; it was pride. A. I couldn’t help feeling awkward. B. And then I chewed on my pencil. C. Gradually the pages began flying by. D. I expected a lecture on my behavior in class. E. The fact was that I had the power to tell a funny story. F. I was wondering if I could write an essay about “Overcoming shyness”. G. Now I was paying the price by writing an essay on “Why I Should Not Talk in Class”. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. D 40.

She was like, “Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer; surely you will be, too. ” What she refused to acknowledge, however, was that I was visibly afraid of water. Every Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet, but had little chance of success. That said, with a bang of the starting gun, I would div e into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could, only to find that the other swimmers slid past me. I would have given it up if I had not heard my father’s encouraging shouts to cheer me on. When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool, he would always be there with a warm, dry towel, telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts. Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra (管弦乐队) visited my class, and gave a demonstration. The drums annoyed me. The flutes (笛子) bored me. But the violin… ah, the violin. It made the sweetest sound I’d ever heard! My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune. For the first time in my life, I went so wild with joy. One evening I’d been out to dinner. Since it wasn’t dark yet after the meal, I decided to walk home from the restaurant. I had traveled that way before, yet I had never noticed that old little violin shop. But that night I felt drawn to it. I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside. Several violins hung from the dark walls, quietly waiting to be chosen. As my eyes rested on them, my heart began to race. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew it was time to tell my parents what I truly wanted to pursue. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I began practicing the violin with great passion to join the school orchestra. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I knew it was time to tell my parents what I truly wanted to pursue. On returning home, I nervously approached Mom and Dad, with my hands trembling. “I want to learn the violin and join the school orchestra,” I whispered, “I don’t belong in the pool. When I hear the violin, my heart sings in a way that swimming never could.” To my astonishment, Mom’s expression softened and Dad bent down to meet my eyes, saying, “If this is what you truly want, we’ll support you.” I leaped into their arms, tears of relief and joy streaming down my face. The next day, Mom took me to that violin shop and bought me my first own violin. I began practicing the violin with great passion to join the school orchestra. At first, my fingers moved awkwardly on the strings, producing only noises. But I wouldn’t quit. Every day after school, I’d lock myself in my room, practicing until my fingertips ached. Mom and Dad would often sit beside me, listening and offering words of encouragement. Slowly but surely, my performance improved. After months of hard work, I finally received the news I’d been waiting for: I had been accepted into the school orchestra. Standing on the stage during our first performance, I played in harmony with my fellow musicians. This was where I belonged. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者童年时被迫参加游泳队，因怕水表现不佳，幸得父亲鼓励。学校管弦乐队表演时，作者被小提琴吸引，某天散步时被一家小提琴店吸引，内心激动。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我知道是时候告诉父母我真正想追求什么了。”可知，第一段可以描写作者决心向父母坦白学琴的想法，紧张地表达诉求，以及父母意外支持时作者的激动反应。 ②由第二段句首内容“我满怀激情地开始练习小提琴，加入了学校管弦乐队。”可知，第二段可以描写作者开始热情练琴，初期遇到困难仍坚持，在父母鼓励下不断进步，最终成功加入学校管弦乐队并登上舞台的情景。 2.续写线索：决心学琴 —— 向父母坦白 —— 父母支持 —— 购买小提琴 —— 刻苦练习 —— 成功加入管弦乐队 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走近：approach/come close to/get near ②低语：whisper/speak in a low voice/murmur ③购买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/with nerves ②惊讶：astonishment/surprise/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I hear the violin, my heart sings in a way that swimming never could.

And then, at the height of my desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’re not very flexible,” my friend gently reminded me. She wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself in an attempt to stretch. Also, my track record for physical activity wasn’t great: With short periods on the badminton court, a brief try at cycling, and an on-and-off relationship with swimming, I could see how I didn’t exactly look like prospective ballet material. However, I was determined to give it a try. This wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. My classes were physically demanding and my muscles were achy. But this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio now brought me a fresh perspective. I hadn’t anticipated that my teacher’s instructions would change my way of being in the world. When I tried to extend my foot to the side, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about “struggling for perfection”. The idea that my body is still a work in progress encourages me. Ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body, and instead of noticing only the older age, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of and the changes I’ve seen as I’ve learned to stand with more confidence and courage. The imperfections? They’re part of being alive. Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At the age of 50, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. 24. What made the author determined to try ballet? A. Her need for freshness in midlife. B. Her failure in various sports. C. Her desire to perform ballet well. D. Her talent for physical activities. 25. What effect did the ballet teacher’s words have on the author? A. Forcing her to rethink each movement. B. Motivating her to practice even harder. C. Shifting her focus to the progress she made. D. Changing her attitude towards ballet dancing. 26. Why did the author call herself a lifelong advanced beginner? A. Because she has mastered ballet completely. B. Because she sticks to beginner ballet classes. C. Because she regrets starting ballet too late in life. D. Because she continues dancing despite challenges. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Imperfection should be avoided at all costs. B Only through hardwork can one achieve perfection. C. The pursuit of perfection matters more than the result. D. Middle-aged people should make well-informed decisions. C Doctors at Great Ormond Street are being encouraged to consider air pollution levels at their patients’ home addresses when assessing the causes of their illnesses, under an innovative pilot scheme. Data showing the average annual air pollution rates at patients’ postcodes has been added to patients’ electronic files so physicians can help families understand whether their child has been exposed to mounting risk. The initiative is a response to criticisms about the case of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, who was nine when she died from asthma (哮喘) 10 years ago, and who in 2020 became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed on her death certificate as a cause of death. Ella’s mother, Rosamund, has noted that she was not given information about the health risks of air pollution and its potential to cause asthma, and the family “would have moved straight away” if she had been told that her daughter was being killed by the air she was breathing. Mark Hayden, who works in the Great Ormond Street hospital, put forward this scheme. Hayden said there had previously been a “significant knowledge gap” at the hospital regarding air pollution and its effects. The negative effects of air pollution on health were not sufficiently communicated to patients and carers by medical and nursing professionals, and called on medical staff to do more to inform families about the dangers of air pollution. Data added to patients’ electronic records provides information on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide, indicates whether they exceed World Health Organization (WHO) safe levels. The information will encourage physicians to think about whether air pollution is a factor in a patient’s illness, and do more to educate patients about the risks of air pollution. Hayden agreed that staff had been apprehensive about talking about the health risks. “Obviously, air quality is a bit harder to fix than an infection. You can’t just give some pills, ” he said. 28. What is the initiative aimed at? A. Removing air pollution. B. Perfecting patients’ files. C. Tracing patients’ illnesses. D. Recording air quality data. 29. What can we know about Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah? A. Her case raised concerns among the public. B. Her death certificate was updated 10 years ago. C. She was the first person in the UK that died from asthma. D. Her mother doubted the information on the death certificate. 30. How does the scheme help fill the “significant knowledge gap” in paragraph 3? A. By warning people of the potential risks. B. By analyzing data based on WHO safety levels. C. By providing suggestions on decreasing air pollution. D. By encouraging communication between patients and doctors. 31. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in last paragraph probably mean? A Curious. B. Uneasy. C. Relieved. D. Enthusiastic. D When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947). Who would write the first great novel of the latest era? Two of America’s novelists, Michael Cunningham and Sigrid Nunez, have recently published novels that try to carry this tradition. The narrator of The Vulnerables by Ms Nunez is an older writer who lives in New York and has all the concerns of a middle-aged, middle-class American living in the 21st century. She ends up in an apartment alone, but her real crisis is literary. Suffering from writer's block, she concludes that “the traditional novel” has lost its “urgency” now. Mr Cunningham's Day, coincidentally, is just the kind of traditional novel Ms Nunez suggests is now outdated. It tells the story of a young family in New York — Dan, an ageing singer, and Isabel, a photo editor, have two young children. His recent unemployment accelerates the breakdown of their marriage and the relationships of several other people they know. Day is alive with all of the small thoughts, looks and feelings that the global financial crisis caused. Unlike historical transformations during previous centuries, the impacts of current events on novels have so far been weakened. With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham’s books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory. Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground. As people’s depression gradually gave way to the optimism of the digital age, they soon slipped right back into normality. The same is proving true for fiction. Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same. 32. Why does the author mention Jhon Steinbeck and Albert Camus in paragraph 1? A. To set a standard. B. To raise a question. C. To clarify a confusion. D. To illustrate a phenomenon. 33. What do The Vulnerables and Day have in common? A. Both belong to traditional novels. B. Both present characters faced with crises. C. Both are written in first-person perspective. D. Both reveal mental issues caused by unemployment. 34. What is the significance of Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham's books? A. They adopt novel subject matters. B. They highlight changes in family relationships. C. They serve as records of a special but passing period. D. They push the boundaries of fiction for their contemporaries. 35. Which best describes the author’s attitude towards the two novels? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 I was always shy. As a new student in the school, I spent most days staring at my desk, which made it surprising that I chatted to someone around me one day. ____36____ That would take all night! After I got home, I took my time petting the cat, postponing the pain. When I finally sat down to write the five-page essay, I began with the reasons Ms. Black would want to hear.

My face burned, but for the first time, it wasn’t from shame; it was pride. A. I couldn’t help feeling awkward. B. And then I chewed on my pencil. C. Gradually the pages began flying by. D. I expected a lecture on my behavior in class. E. The fact was that I had the power to tell a funny story. F. I was wondering if I could write an essay about “Overcoming shyness”. G.

She was like, “Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer; surely you will be, too. ” What she refused to acknowledge, however, was that I was visibly afraid of water. Every Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet, but had little chance of success. That said, with a bang of the starting gun, I would div e into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could, only to find that the other swimmers slid past me. I would have given it up if I had not heard my father’s encouraging shouts to cheer me on. When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool, he would always be there with a warm, dry towel, telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts. Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra (管弦乐队) visited my class, and gave a demonstration. The drums annoyed me. The flutes (笛子) bored me. But the violin… ah, the violin. It made the sweetest sound I’d ever heard! My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune. For the first time in my life, I went so wild with joy. One evening I’d been out to dinner. Since it wasn’t dark yet after the meal, I decided to walk home from the restaurant. I had traveled that way before, yet I had never noticed that old little violin shop. But that night I felt drawn to it. I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside. Several violins hung from the dark walls, quietly waiting to be chosen.
