On April 19, the National Park Service will not charge entry fees for all national parks that normally charge admission, saving you $25 to $35. Find a park near you at FeeFreeParksByState.htm. Then on April 22, many botanical gardens will offer admission in honor of Earth Day. Check local event listings or visit the websites of your favorite outdoor destinations for details and deals. Enjoy Tax Day treats Here’s a good reason to look forward to April 15: Many restaurants dish out special deals to celebrate making it through another Tax Day. Usually, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse and California Pizza Kitchen give $10 off a $40 order, while Krispy Kreme sells a dozen doughnuts for half the price alone when customers buy another dozen at full price $12. Check out EatDrinkDeals.com for this year’s tasty bargains. Sow seeds & score plants at no cost Planning ahead? Seeds typically take 30 to 60 days to shoot, so if you can wait, they’re a great option. Pick up freebies (免费品) from “seed libraries” hosted at botanical centers by visiting SeedLibraryNetwork.org. Want instant greenery? People often look to rehome mature plants when they’re refreshing their own gardens. Find them by searching “free plants” on Nextdoor.com. Bring a cozy sweater When feeling cold in a store, we tend to spend more. Supermarkets often keep temperatures low, which makes shoppers more likely to choose products based on emotions — like comforting snacks — as a way to cope with the cold. Wearing a warm sweater can help you better stick to your budget. 1. What can visitors do in April according to the passage? A. Visit botanical gardens for free. B. Enjoy free entry to some national parks. C. Save $30 when dining out in most restaurants. D. Find Earth Day events at FeeFreeParksByState.htm. 2. How much will it cost to buy two dozen doughnuts in Krispy Kreme on Tax Day? A. $18. B. $12. C. $24. D. $6. 3. What do the four savings solutions have in common? A. They are scheduled for April. B. They provide free items. C. They are for economical people. D. They offer discount deals online. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章聚焦四个主题，结合季节特点与节日节点，提供省钱、休闲及消费小贴士，帮助读者轻松享受乐趣与省钱秘诀。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On April 19, the National Park Service will not charge entry fees for all national parks that normally charge admission, saving you $25 to $35.(4月19日，国家公园管理局将不再对所有通常收取入场费的国家公园收取入场费，为您节省25至35美元。)”，可知，在四月份游客可享受国家公园免费入园。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Usually, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse and California Pizza Kitchen give $10 off a $40 order, while Krispy Kreme sells a dozen doughnuts for half the price alone when customers buy another dozen at full price $12.(通常，BJ’s Restaurant&Brewhouse和California Pizza Kitchen在40美元的订单上会打折10美元，而Krispy Kreme在顾客以12美元的全价购买另一打甜甜圈时，仅以半价出售一打甜甜圈。)”，可知，当顾客以12美元的全价购买另一打甜甜圈时，Krispy Kreme会以半价单独出售一打甜甜圈。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据题干信息可知，第一段：4月19日国家公园免费入场。第二段：4月15日税务日餐厅优惠。第三段：免费种子或植物。第四段：穿毛衣省钱的建议。四个省钱方案的共同点是它们适合节俭的人。故选C项。 B It’s hard not to be impressed with 38-year-old Chris Ringot. The Missouri resident, who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), has been competing in Special Olympics games since he was 10. He’s tried many Special Olympics sports — everything from golf to bowling to basketball — but swimming is his passion. The first time he got in the pool, he showed a natural talent. After that, it just took off. From that moment on, swimming was a central part of his life. The camaraderie (友情) of Special Olympics and the swim family within it was really important to him, especially in the formative years. Chris became a star in competitions, and in 2011 he was selected for the Special Olympics World Games in Greece, where his relay team won a gold medal. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Chris. When returning from the Games, he began giving keynote speeches to local organizations. He was the speaker in the school district where he grew up. The editor of the local newspaper wrote it was the best welcome-back-to-school speech he’d ever heard. Last year Chris was inducted into the Special Olympics Missouri Hall of Fame. The induction spoke not just to Chris’s athletic skills but also to what an inspiration Chris has been to his peers. Carrie, his sister, has never been surprised by his success. “We had great role models in our parents — growing up, it was always anything I could do, Chris could do. And most of the time Chris did it better!” she said. Chris also credits his parents for his love of giving back to his community. He is involved in his church along with his wife. He has worked as a supplies assistant at the children’s hospital for seven years. And most meaningfully, he’s recently become a swimming coach for Special Olympics. “That was one of my dreams — it was a milestone for me,” Chris shares. “I want to pass what I’ve learned on to the next generation of swimmers.” 4. What can we learn about Chris Ringot from the first two paragraphs? A. He was interested in becoming a star. B. He won his first individual gold medal in 2011. C. He developed his love for swimming instantly. D. He competed in the Special Olympics before 10. 5. What does the underlined word “inducted” probably mean in the fourth paragraph? A. Transformed. B. Divided. C. Merged. D. Introduced. 6. Which words can best describe Chris Ringot? A. Talented and reserved. B. Diligent and kind. C. Ambitious and likable. D. Adaptable and humble. 7. Why does the author mention Chris’ parents? A. To comfort other families. B. To show their sorrow. C. To emphasize their influence. D. To prove Carrie’s excellence. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了38岁唐氏综合征患者Chris Ringot的励志人生，通过他在特奥会的卓越表现、对社区的贡献及角色转变，展现了坚韧、爱与善良的力量。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He’s tried many Special Olympics sports — everything from golf to bowling to basketball — but swimming is his passion. The first time he got in the pool, he showed a natural talent. After that, it just took off.(他尝试过许多特奥会运动，从高尔夫到保龄球再到篮球，但游泳是他的最爱。第一次下水时，他就展现出了天生的游泳天赋。从那以后，他的游泳事业便一飞冲天。)”可知，他迅速地对游泳产生了热爱。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“When returning from the Games, he began giving keynote speeches to local organizations. He was the speaker in the school district where he grew up. The editor of the local newspaper wrote it was the best welcome-back-to-school speech he’d ever heard.(从奥运会回来后，他开始向当地组织发表主题演讲。他是他长大的那个学区的发言人。当地报纸的编辑写道，这是他听过的最好的欢迎返校演讲。)”可知，Chris非常成功，从而推知，划线词句“Last year Chris was inducted into the Special Olympics Missouri Hall of Fame.”意为：去年，Chris入选了密苏里州特奥会名人堂。划线词和Introduced意思接近，故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“From that moment on, swimming was a central part of his life.(从那一刻起，游泳就成了他生活的中心部分。)”和最后一段“Chris also credits his parents for his love of giving back to his community.(Chris还感谢父母对他回馈社区的热爱。)”等内容，可知Chris游泳训练表现很勤奋、回馈社区表现很善良。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第四句“We had great role models in our parents — growing up, it was always anything I could do, Chris could do.(我们在父母身上有很好的榜样——在成长过程中，我能做的任何事情，Chris都能做。)”及最后一段第一句“Chris also credits his parents for his love of giving back to his community.(Chris还将自己热爱回馈社区的品质归功于父母。)”可知，父母对Chris产生了很大的影响。故项C项。 C The world of children’s publishing is tough. Print sales are struggling, and profits are thin. Because of this economic reality, many publishers lean heavily into “sure things”—like celebrity books, series, and popular IP projects. Parents seek suitable books for their kids. Ben Okon, while enjoying reading with his son, found most books underestimated young readers. Instead of ABCs, he desired books on concepts like personal finance for kids. Nicole Filippone, whose daughter had sensory processing disorder (SPD), searched for books to make her feel accepted but couldn’t find any. In the past, they might make up their own stories, tell them to their child at bedtime, and leave it at that. But now, easy access to print-on-demand companies like Amazon KDP and Ingram Spark has given parents a way to create the books they want. If they can’t buy it... they can write it! Traditional publishers claim there’s low demand for such books. Are these parents losing money? The answer is absolutely “No!” Ben’s books have been already sold almost $60,000 in preorders. Nicole sold thousands of copies, and has become an influencer in SPD with 350,000 followers across multiple platforms. Parents need these children’s books for just a few short years—when their kids are at the right age to learn from them! Traditional publishing moves so slowly that if the authors above had tried to go that route, their own kids would likely have been too old for picture books before they hit the shelves. When you’re a parent out to solve problems, you don’t have the luxury of being patient! The explosion of self-publishing has opened the door for unknown authors to create books that fill those gaps in the market that traditional publishers can’t or won’t fill. And parent authors are the very people who discovered those gaps in the first place. There are always more stories to be told. 8. Why do many publishers focus on “sure things” according to the passage? A. To meet public demands. B. To attract renowned authors. C. To handle the financial stress. D. To advocate popular IP projects. 9. Which factor may motivate parents to start out on the path of self-publishing? A. The lack of bedtime books. B. The easy access to Amazon KDP. C. The deep affection for writing. D. The handsome profits of publishing. 10. How does the writer illustrate the popularity of self-publishing books? A. By giving examples. B. By defining concepts. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting studies. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. New publishing hits the Markets. B. Parent authors help fill shelf Gaps. C. Traditional publishing is in a Dilemma. D. More children stories need to be Told. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文聚焦儿童出版领域的变革及父母创作者如何填补市场空白。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Because of this economic reality, many publishers lean heavily into “sure things”—like celebrity books, series, and popular IP projects.(正因为这一经济现实，许多出版商在很大程度上倾向于选择 “稳妥项目”—— 比如名人著作、系列丛书以及热门 IP 项目)”可知，许多出版商大幅倚重“稳妥项目”是为了解决经济压力。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the past, they might make up their own stories, tell them to their child at bedtime, and leave it at that. But now, easy access to print-on-demand companies like Amazon KDP and Ingram Spark has given parents a way to create the books they want...(过去，他们或许会自己编些故事，在睡前讲给孩子听，事情也就到此为止了。但如今，通过亚马逊 KDP、英格拉姆・斯帕克等按需印刷公司获取服务变得十分便捷，这为父母们提供了一种创作自己想要的书籍的途径……)”可知，像亚马逊KDP和英格拉姆这样的按需印刷公司让家长们可以轻松接触到出版渠道，从而能够创作自己想要的书籍。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Ben’s books have been already sold almost $60,000 in preorders. Nicole sold thousands of copies, and has become an influencer in SPD with 350,000 followers across multiple platforms.(Ben的书籍预售额已接近6万美元。Nicole售出了数千册书，并成为感觉处理障碍领域的影响力人物，在多个平台拥有35万粉丝)”推知，本段通过举例子的方式证明了自出版书籍的受欢迎程度。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章可知，本文主要介绍了家长们自出版书籍的原因、影响。结合最后一段“The explosion of self-publishing has opened the door for unknown authors to create books that fill those gaps in the market that traditional publishers can’t or won’t fill. And parent authors are the very people who discovered those gaps in the first place. There are always more stories to be told.(自出版的蓬勃发展，为不知名作者打开了一扇门 —— 他们得以创作书籍，填补那些传统出版商无力或不愿填补的市场空白。而家长作者正是最早发现这些空白的人。值得讲述的故事还有很多)”可知，B项“家长作者有助于填补书架上的空白”包含文章中心话题，可以作为最佳标题。故选B项。 D Hypnotising (催眠) people before an operation may sound unbelievable, but it is becoming standard medical practice in some hospitals in the US, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands. The cases of surgical hypnosis that get the most attention involve someone having a major operation without any anaesthetic (麻醉剂), but the number of people who could be hypnotised so deeply is thought to be small. What is more widely workable is for doctors to use hypnosis alongside drugs to help people feel less anxious when having procedures that they remain awake through. This can cut the amount of medication needed. One trial looked at children having a thin tube pushed into their hearts, which requires a general anaesthetic. Those who listened to a nurse reading from a hypnosis script in the preoperative period required a lower dose of drugs. “It’s not an alternative to anaesthesia, it’s an adjunct (附属物),” says Samantha Black, an anaesthetist who helped develop hypnosis recording for the UK’s Royal College of Anaesthetists. At a conference on “adjunctive medical hypnosis” at the Royal Society of Medicine in London in April, Black said people should be advised to listen to the recordings at home before a procedure. “Sometimes, patients can wait a couple of hours for their operations,” she says. “It’s very hard to relax in that kind of environment.” But the application of hypnosis in surgery has aroused intense controversy. Some researchers are concerned about its sensitivity to individual differences among patients, and not all patients can achieve the desired hypnotic effect. Black sees a silver lining, however. She believes that the exploration in this field may redefine the meaning of surgery — not just physical disinfection (消毒) and anesthesia, but also psychological preadaptation and active participation. 12. What does one trial of hypnosis on children exhibit in the case study? A. Less suffering for families. B. Smaller amount of drug use. C. Shorter duration of waiting. D. Higher efficiency of reading scripts. 13. What is Samantha Black’s attitude toward hypnosis before procedures? A. Approving. B. Cautious. C. Subjective. D. Dismissive. 14. What is the main concern of researchers in paragraph 6? A. The costly expense. B. Disbelief in doctors. C. Individuals’ sensitivity. D. Patients’ recovery rate. 15. What does the text mainly talk about regarding hypnosis? A. Its dominant impact on healing. B. Its well-received medical standards. C. Its major upside over anaesthesia. D. Its underlying applications in surgery. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍催眠在手术中的应用情况，在美国、澳大利亚等国家部分医院，催眠正成为一种标准医疗手段，它可辅助药物减轻患者焦虑、减少用药量，但也引发争议，因其对患者个体差异敏感，并非对所有患者都有效，同时还提到了其在手术应用方面的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One trial looked at children having a thin tube pushed into their hearts, which requires a general anaesthetic. Those who listened to a nurse reading from a hypnosis script in the preoperative period required a lower dose of drugs. (一项试验针对的是需要全身麻醉将细管插入心脏的儿童。那些在术前听护士朗读催眠脚本的儿童需要的药物剂量更低。)”可知，对儿童进行催眠的案例研究表明催眠能减少药物使用量。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““It’s not an alternative to anaesthesia, it’s an adjunct (附属物),” says Samantha Black, an anaesthetist who helped develop hypnosis recording for the UK’s Royal College of Anaesthetists. (“它不是麻醉的替代品，而是一种辅助手段，” 萨曼莎·布莱克说，她是一名麻醉师，曾为英国皇家麻醉师学院开发催眠录音。)”以及第五段“Black said people should be advised to listen to the recordings at home before a procedure. (布莱克说，应该建议人们在手术前在家听这些录音。)”可知，萨曼莎·布莱克对手术前使用催眠持认可态度。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Some researchers are concerned about its sensitivity to individual differences among patients, and not all patients can achieve the desired hypnotic effect. (一些研究人员担心它对患者个体差异的敏感性，而且并非所有患者都能达到预期的催眠效果。)”可知，研究人员主要担心的是个体的敏感性。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍催眠在手术中的应用情况，在美国、澳大利亚等国家部分医院，催眠正成为一种标准医疗手段，它可辅助药物减轻患者焦虑、减少用药量，但也引发争议，因其对患者个体差异敏感，并非对所有患者都有效，同时还提到了其在手术应用方面的意义。所以文章主要讨论的是催眠在手术中的潜在应用。故选D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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I’ve been engaged in a years-long war with Grammarly over the phrase “in order to”. I occasionally use the grammar-checking site in my freelance writing work. It always highlights the phrase and suggests I reduce it down to “to.” ____16____ I’m a rhythm-focused writer, and sometimes the extra syllables work best. But this constant struggle against a robot copyeditor often depresses me about my writing ability. Besides Grammarly, an array of writing tools are out there, from spelling and grammar checks to the AI generative tools like ChatGPT. They can be very helpful. But they endlessly complain about your work, which harms your confidence and depress you. ____17____ YOU DOING YOU Some writing tools always redline the same grammar or vocabulary choice and insist it is a mistake instead of a choice, no matter the context. But you choose different grammar ideas, affection for certain words, or resistance to the so-called “rules” of writing. ____18____ They make your work unique. Blindly following all that robotic advice may lead to work that could have been written by that robot, making you feel like a failure. To avoid having your spirit hurt by that cold, unemotional criticism — the key is to use these tools with authority. USE THOUGHTFULLY ____19____ When using any AI tool for your writing, you have to approach it as an expert, because you’re the one getting paid to write something. You have to use it the same way a carpenter uses a saw. Unless you fell into a writing career completely by accident and you’re one of those writers who actually hates writing, keep the fun stuff for yourself. ____20____ Remember that don’t let machines win and you’re in charge. A. And just about every time, I refuse. B. I didn’t use the word authority randomly. C. So how do you handle AI-related depression? D. These are the very DNA of your style and voice. E. The following tips can build up even more confidence. F. There is nothing wrong with using AI to correct your work. G. Use AI merely for the dull task, like digging up references. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者是一名自由职业写作者。作者习惯使用“in order to”强化表达节奏，但语法检查工具Grammarly坚持简化为“to”。AI工具对写作的持续否定可能削弱创作者自信，甚至引发自我怀疑。作者给出了如何处理与AI相关的抑郁情绪的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It always highlights the phrase and suggests I reduce it down to “to.”(它总是会突出这个短语，并建议我将其简化为“to”这个形式)”以及下文“I’m a rhythm-focused writer, and sometimes the extra syllables work best.(我是个注重节奏的作家，有时候多出来的音节反而效果更佳)”可知，前文提到 Grammarly 总是建议将“in order to”简化为“to”，后文则说明作者作为注重节奏的作家，有时需要额外音节，因此此处应体现作者对该建议的拒绝，与A项中“而且几乎每次我都会拒绝”形成因果逻辑关系，故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Besides Grammarly, an array of writing tools are out there, from spelling and grammar checks to the AI generative tools like ChatGPT. They can be very helpful. But they endlessly complain about your work, which harms your confidence and depress you.(除了Grammarly之外，市面上还有众多的写作工具，从拼写和语法检查工具到像ChatGPT这样的人工智能生成工具应有尽有。这些工具往往非常有用。但它们会无休止地对你的作品进行批评，这会损害你的自信心，让你感到沮丧)”可知，前文指出写作工具的过度批评会打击信心、让人沮丧，后文则给出应对建议，因此此处需要一个过渡句引出如何处理这种沮丧，C项“那么，对于与人工智能相关导致的抑郁情绪，你又是如何应对的呢？”符合语境，故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“But you choose different grammar ideas, affection for certain words, or resistance to the so-called “rules” of writing.(但你可能会采用不同的语法理念、偏爱某些特定的词汇，或者抗拒所谓的写作“规则”)”以及后文“They make your work unique.(这些都会使你的作品独具特色)”可知，前文提到作者对语法、词汇的选择或对所谓 “规则” 的抗拒，后文说明这些让作品独特，D选项中的 “These” 指代前文的选择，且解释了其与风格、声音的关系，衔接紧密。D选项“这些正是你个人风格和特色的核心所在”符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据后文“When using any AI tool for your writing, you have to approach it as an expert, because you’re the one getting paid to write something. You have to use it the same way a carpenter uses a saw.(在使用任何人工智能工具进行写作时，你必须将其视作一位专业人士来对待，因为你是那个需要完成写作任务的人。你应当像木匠使用锯子那样正确使用它)”以及本段标题为“USE THOUGHTFULLY(慎重考虑一下)”可知，后文提到使用AI工具时要以专家身份对待，就像木匠用锯子，而前文提到“use these tools with authority”，B 项解释了“authority”一词的用意，呼应上下文。故B项“我使用‘权威’这个词并非随意为之”符合语境，故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Unless you fell into a writing career completely by accident and you’re one of those writers who actually hates writing, keep the fun stuff for yourself.(除非你是完全出于偶然才投身写作事业的，并且你还是那种真正讨厌写作的人，否则就把那些有趣的部分留给自己吧)”可知，前文建议保留写作中有趣的部分，本句说明AI仅用于枯燥工作，与“保留乐趣”形成对比，G项“仅将人工智能用于挖掘参考文献等枯燥任务”符合语境，故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I’ve always had a passion for animals but my parents worked long hours, so I was just ____21____ a parrot at home.

I went with a friend to a farm to buy her dog and there was a tiny poor sheepdog. I bought her on the ____24____. I got my first kitten from a charity, to offer the dog ____25____ while I was working. They loved each other. My dog was 16 when she died, and she ended up being a security ____26____ to eight skinny adopted cats through the years. One day in 2023, my son rang to tell me there was a white rabbit on the road. We ____27____ it with the aid of sweeping brushes and buckets. I advertised him, but no one ____28____ him. Alan, another adopted dog, liked our rescue Siamese cat Po, and they were ____29____. Not long after, my friend Jane sent me a(n) ____30____ to rehome an ancient Siamese cat who hadn’t much sight. “You know what you want,” she said. We couldn’t ____31____ a huge and fluffy one. He got around clicking like sonar (声呐) and always ____32____ his way to our laps. We said it would be enough to keep these animals.

But tonight, he had something important on his mind. “I’m really going to miss my school,” said the 10-year-old, who would be graduating from Thomas Ultican Elementary in a few months and, in the fall, going on to middle school. Daken’s eyes sparkled with determination as he turned to Vanessa. “I want to do something nice for my school, so they’ll remember me, just like the plaque (牌匾) hung in his school.” he declared, his voice filled with enthusiasm. Vanessa smiled warmly, immediately recognizing the passion behind his words. “That’s a wonderful idea,” she replied. “Let’s give it some thought, but right now it’s time to go to sleep,” she added gently. Vanessa remembered her old school days, and the embarrassment when she couldn’t afford to buy lunch. They had a free lunch program, but her family didn’t qualify, even though her dad’s income was unreliable. She knew the situation was still the same at Daken’s school. They never turned a child away, but they kept a running tab (累计记账) for those who didn’t pay. “It’s not a problem for them now,” she told Daken. “But if they still owe money when they get to high school, they don’t get to go to senior party or walk at their graduation.” “That’s not right!” he insisted. “We should ask all our friends and relatives to donate and pay off all the kids’ lunch debt, so they don’t have to miss things.” Vanessa figured they could easily raise a few hundred dollars, but when she called the principal (校长) and learned the outstanding debt topped $3,000, she became worried. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 “We can raise it — I know we can,” Daken insisted. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At graduation ceremony, Daken gave the principal a check with all the funds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“We can raise it — I know we can,” Daken insisted. He and his mom wrote a script for a Facebook video. Vanessa typed it up, Daken practiced reading the script several times and finally they filmed Daken’s appeal in his bedroom. “Please donate,” he pleaded in a 2-minute long video explaining the cause, and then they posted it to Vanessa’s Facebook page. A few hundred dollars in contributions came in as the video was shared. Then a local TV station picked up the story, and even more contributions poured in. In a month, the total topped $7,000. “That’s twice as much as kids owe!” Daken marveled. At graduation ceremony, Daken gave the principal a check with all the funds. “Use the money to pay off kids’ debt and the extra for next year’s free lunches,” he said, his eyes clear and his voice filled with the sincere eagerness. The principal extended heartfelt gratitude to him. Then he pulled out a small package, “We have a surprise for Daken’s generosity.” Producing a carved plaque — “Daken Kramer Award,” he announced with wild applause. “This will hang in a place of honor at school.” “It’s important for kids not to be hungry. We couldn’t make it through the day without a good meal” Daken replied with a big smile. Daken, a kid hero, proved that it only took a small action to make a difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，围绕母子二人对校园公益的热心展开，通过孩子Daken的纯真视角和母亲的共情，揭示了校园午餐债务问题及其对学生的影响，展现了普通人通过行动传递善意的温暖故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Daken坚持道：“我们能筹到这笔钱的——我知道我们可以。””并结合前面的故事分析可知，母子扩大筹款范围(如发起社区活动、网络众筹，电台报道等)，为情节发展预留空间，也暗示“公益需要更多人参与”的主题。续写中可以选取一种以上筹款方式，过程应具体，捐款人热心此事，一段时间之后，达到或超过筹款金额。 ②由第二段首句内容“在毕业典礼上，Daken将一张包含所有善款的支票交给了校长。”可知，用这张支票还清了学生所欠饭钱，并且结余部分继续支付下一年饭费。校长表示衷心感谢。Daken证明了小善举能产生大影响。 2.续写线索：呼吁——筹款——还清——感谢——影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.呼吁：appeal/call on ②.涌来：pour in/come ③.还清：pay off/wipe off 情绪类 ①.真诚的：sincere/genuine ②.慷慨：generosity/largesse 【点睛】[高分句型1]. “Use the money to pay off kids’ debt and the extra for next year’s free lunches,” he said, his eyes clear and his voice filled with the sincere eagerness.

On April 19, the National Park Service will not charge entry fees for all national parks that normally charge admission, saving you $25 to $35. Find a park near you at FeeFreeParksByState.htm. Then on April 22, many botanical gardens will offer admission in honor of Earth Day. Check local event listings or visit the websites of your favorite outdoor destinations for details and deals. Enjoy Tax Day treats Here’s a good reason to look forward to April 15: Many restaurants dish out special deals to celebrate making it through another Tax Day. Usually, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse and California Pizza Kitchen give $10 off a $40 order, while Krispy Kreme sells a dozen doughnuts for half the price alone when customers buy another dozen at full price $12. Check out EatDrinkDeals.com for this year’s tasty bargains. Sow seeds & score plants at no cost Planning ahead? Seeds typically take 30 to 60 days to shoot, so if you can wait, they’re a great option. Pick up freebies (免费品) from “seed libraries” hosted at botanical centers by visiting SeedLibraryNetwork.org. Want instant greenery? People often look to rehome mature plants when they’re refreshing their own gardens. Find them by searching “free plants” on Nextdoor.com. Bring a cozy sweater When feeling cold in a store, we tend to spend more.

The Missouri resident, who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), has been competing in Special Olympics games since he was 10. He’s tried many Special Olympics sports — everything from golf to bowling to basketball — but swimming is his passion. The first time he got in the pool, he showed a natural talent. After that, it just took off. From that moment on, swimming was a central part of his life. The camaraderie (友情) of Special Olympics and the swim family within it was really important to him, especially in the formative years. Chris became a star in competitions, and in 2011 he was selected for the Special Olympics World Games in Greece, where his relay team won a gold medal. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Chris. When returning from the Games, he began giving keynote speeches to local organizations. He was the speaker in the school district where he grew up. The editor of the local newspaper wrote it was the best welcome-back-to-school speech he’d ever heard. Last year Chris was inducted into the Special Olympics Missouri Hall of Fame. The induction spoke not just to Chris’s athletic skills but also to what an inspiration Chris has been to his peers. Carrie, his sister, has never been surprised by his success. “We had great role models in our parents — growing up, it was always anything I could do, Chris could do. And most of the time Chris did it better!” she said. Chris also credits his parents for his love of giving back to his community. He is involved in his church along with his wife. He has worked as a supplies assistant at the children’s hospital for seven years. And most meaningfully, he’s recently become a swimming coach for Special Olympics. “That was one of my dreams — it was a milestone for me,” Chris shares. “I want to pass what I’ve learned on to the next generation of swimmers.” 4. What can we learn about Chris Ringot from the first two paragraphs? A. He was interested in becoming a star. B. He won his first individual gold medal in 2011. C. He developed his love for swimming instantly. D. He competed in the Special Olympics before 10. 5. What does the underlined word “inducted” probably mean in the fourth paragraph? A. Transformed. B. Divided. C. Merged. D. Introduced. 6. Which words can best describe Chris Ringot? A. Talented and reserved. B. Diligent and kind. C. Ambitious and likable. D. Adaptable and humble. 7. Why does the author mention Chris’ parents? A. To comfort other families. B. To show their sorrow. C. To emphasize their influence. D. To prove Carrie’s excellence. C The world of children’s publishing is tough. Print sales are struggling, and profits are thin. Because of this economic reality, many publishers lean heavily into “sure things”—like celebrity books, series, and popular IP projects. Parents seek suitable books for their kids. Ben Okon, while enjoying reading with his son, found most books underestimated young readers. Instead of ABCs, he desired books on concepts like personal finance for kids. Nicole Filippone, whose daughter had sensory processing disorder (SPD), searched for books to make her feel accepted but couldn’t find any. In the past, they might make up their own stories, tell them to their child at bedtime, and leave it at that. But now, easy access to print-on-demand companies like Amazon KDP and Ingram Spark has given parents a way to create the books they want. If they can’t buy it... they can write it! Traditional publishers claim there’s low demand for such books. Are these parents losing money? The answer is absolutely “No!” Ben’s books have been already sold almost $60,000 in preorders. Nicole sold thousands of copies, and has become an influencer in SPD with 350,000 followers across multiple platforms. Parents need these children’s books for just a few short years—when their kids are at the right age to learn from them! Traditional publishing moves so slowly that if the authors above had tried to go that route, their own kids would likely have been too old for picture books before they hit the shelves. When you’re a parent out to solve problems, you don’t have the luxury of being patient! The explosion of self-publishing has opened the door for unknown authors to create books that fill those gaps in the market that traditional publishers can’t or won’t fill. And parent authors are the very people who discovered those gaps in the first place. There are always more stories to be told. 8. Why do many publishers focus on “sure things” according to the passage? A. To meet public demands. B. To attract renowned authors. C. To handle the financial stress. D. To advocate popular IP projects. 9. Which factor may motivate parents to start out on the path of self-publishing? A. The lack of bedtime books. B. The easy access to Amazon KDP. C. The deep affection for writing. D. The handsome profits of publishing. 10. How does the writer illustrate the popularity of self-publishing books? A. By giving examples. B. By defining concepts. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting studies. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. New publishing hits the Markets. B. Parent authors help fill shelf Gaps. C. Traditional publishing is in a Dilemma. D. More children stories need to be Told. D Hypnotising (催眠) people before an operation may sound unbelievable, but it is becoming standard medical practice in some hospitals in the US, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands. The cases of surgical hypnosis that get the most attention involve someone having a major operation without any anaesthetic (麻醉剂), but the number of people who could be hypnotised so deeply is thought to be small. What is more widely workable is for doctors to use hypnosis alongside drugs to help people feel less anxious when having procedures that they remain awake through. This can cut the amount of medication needed. One trial looked at children having a thin tube pushed into their hearts, which requires a general anaesthetic. Those who listened to a nurse reading from a hypnosis script in the preoperative period required a lower dose of drugs. “It’s not an alternative to anaesthesia, it’s an adjunct (附属物),” says Samantha Black, an anaesthetist who helped develop hypnosis recording for the UK’s Royal College of Anaesthetists. At a conference on “adjunctive medical hypnosis” at the Royal Society of Medicine in London in April, Black said people should be advised to listen to the recordings at home before a procedure. “Sometimes, patients can wait a couple of hours for their operations,” she says. “It’s very hard to relax in that kind of environment.” But the application of hypnosis in surgery has aroused intense controversy. Some researchers are concerned about its sensitivity to individual differences among patients, and not all patients can achieve the desired hypnotic effect. Black sees a silver lining, however. She believes that the exploration in this field may redefine the meaning of surgery — not just physical disinfection (消毒) and anesthesia, but also psychological preadaptation and active participation. 12. What does one trial of hypnosis on children exhibit in the case study? A. Less suffering for families. B. Smaller amount of drug use. C. Shorter duration of waiting. D. Higher efficiency of reading scripts. 13. What is Samantha Black’s attitude toward hypnosis before procedures? A. Approving. B. Cautious. C. Subjective. D. Dismissive. 14. What is the main concern of researchers in paragraph 6? A. The costly expense. B. Disbelief in doctors. C. Individuals’ sensitivity. D. Patients’ recovery rate. 15. What does the text mainly talk about regarding hypnosis? A. Its dominant impact on healing. B. Its well-received medical standards. C. Its major upside over anaesthesia. D. Its underlying applications in surgery. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I’ve been engaged in a years-long war with Grammarly over the phrase “in order to”. I occasionally use the grammar-checking site in my freelance writing work. It always highlights the phrase and suggests I reduce it down to “to.” ____16____ I’m a rhythm-focused writer, and sometimes the extra syllables work best. But this constant struggle against a robot copyeditor often depresses me about my writing ability. Besides Grammarly, an array of writing tools are out there, from spelling and grammar checks to the AI generative tools like ChatGPT. They can be very helpful. But they endlessly complain about your work, which harms your confidence and depress you. ____17____ YOU DOING YOU Some writing tools always redline the same grammar or vocabulary choice and insist it is a mistake instead of a choice, no matter the context. But you choose different grammar ideas, affection for certain words, or resistance to the so-called “rules” of writing. ____18____ They make your work unique. Blindly following all that robotic advice may lead to work that could have been written by that robot, making you feel like a failure. To avoid having your spirit hurt by that cold, unemotional criticism — the key is to use these tools with authority. USE THOUGHTFULLY ____19____ When using any AI tool for your writing, you have to approach it as an expert, because you’re the one getting paid to write something. You have to use it the same way a carpenter uses a saw. Unless you fell into a writing career completely by accident and you’re one of those writers who actually hates writing, keep the fun stuff for yourself. ____20____ Remember that don’t let machines win and you’re in charge. A. And just about every time, I refuse. B. I didn’t use the word authority randomly. C. So how do you handle AI-related depression? D. These are the very DNA of your style and voice. E. The following tips can build up even more confidence. F. There is nothing wrong with using AI to correct your work. G. Use AI merely for the dull task, like digging up references. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I’ve always had a passion for animals but my parents worked long hours, so I was just ____21____ a parrot at home.

But tonight, he had something important on his mind. “I’m really going to miss my school,” said the 10-year-old, who would be graduating from Thomas Ultican Elementary in a few months and, in the fall, going on to middle school. Daken’s eyes sparkled with determination as he turned to Vanessa. “I want to do something nice for my school, so they’ll remember me, just like the plaque (牌匾) hung in his school.” he declared, his voice filled with enthusiasm. Vanessa smiled warmly, immediately recognizing the passion behind his words. “That’s a wonderful idea,” she replied. “Let’s give it some thought, but right now it’s time to go to sleep,” she added gently. Vanessa remembered her old school days, and the embarrassment when she couldn’t afford to buy lunch. They had a free lunch program, but her family didn’t qualify, even though her dad’s income was unreliable. She knew the situation was still the same at Daken’s school. They never turned a child away, but they kept a running tab (累计记账) for those who didn’t pay. “It’s not a problem for them now,” she told Daken. “But if they still owe money when they get to high school, they don’t get to go to senior party or walk at their graduation.” “That’s not right!” he insisted. “We should ask all our friends and relatives to donate and pay off all the kids’ lunch debt, so they don’t have to miss things.” Vanessa figured they could easily raise a few hundred dollars, but when she called the principal (校长) and learned the outstanding debt topped $3,000, she became worried. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 “We can raise it — I know we can,” Daken insisted. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At graduation ceremony, Daken gave the principal a check with all the funds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
