B When 100-year-old Colin Thorne crossed the 5.5k m finish line at the 2024 Rotorua Marathon, he deserved the acclaim of supporters cheering him on. “My main goal of entering races is not so much for myself, but to encourage people to get off their backsides and go for a run or a walk,” explains the spirited centenarian (百岁老人). Over the past 12 months, Colin has become somewhat of a New Zealand icon (偶像). He gained recognition after he decided to celebrate his 100th birthday by starting a “grand tour” of Parkruns around New Zealand, as well as completing the race for the60th anniversary (周年纪念日) of the Rotorua Marathon. “I’ve had an extremely good response,” he says. “People want to take photos and ask questions. Someone asked me, ‘Do I have my own teeth?!’ I get a lot of fun out of entering the events.” Colin was born in 1924 and raised through the Depression. He believes the physicality of working on farms for many decades formed the foundation of his longevity and fitness. After more than 30 years playing and coaching hockey until in his sixties, Colin decided to try running instead. “I guess it became a bit of an addiction,” he reflects. Despite describing himself as a person who works slowly after running his first marathon in Whangarei at 65, Colin went on to finish a further 49 more. He held an impressive personal best time of three hours and 18 minutes for the New Plymouth 42.2 k m Marathon—and ran his 50th and last marathon at 90 years old. Exercising six times a week, with three walks of up to 5 km around Whangarei, plus three sessions at his local gym, Colin is a phenomenon. He still lives independently, drives, cuts the grass in his garden and takes very little medicine. Colin has no plans to slow down, with his future ambition to finish 200-plus Parkruns. He exclaims, “It has been an amazing journey and I’d like to do it all over again!” 4. What does the underlined word “acclaim” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Awards. B. Praises. C. Donations. D. Criticisms. 5. What is Colin Thorne’s main goal of participating in marathons? A To win the races. B. To improve his own health. C. To compete with other runners. D. To encourage people to exercise. 6. Which can describe Colin Thorne? A. Enthusiastic and energetic. B. Independent and cautious. C. Productive and ambitious. D. Creative and friendly. 7. What is Colin’s future ambition? A. To open a fitness center. B. To win more marathon races. C To complete over 200 Parkruns. D. To celebrate his 101st birthday. C A new study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health finds air pollution may negatively impact standardized test scores. Using data from the North Carolina Education Research Data Center, the researchers tracked 2.8 million public school students in North Carolina from 2001 to 2018 and measured their exposure to PM 2.5 found in polluted air. While previous research has shown negative effects on academic performance, it has relied on relatively small or less representative samples. “The biggest strength of this study is that we tracked every student in North Carolina in those years. For the whole time period that they were in the public schools,” said Emma Zang, coauthor of the study. The study also finds that test scores of ethnic minorities and girls are disproportionately (不成比例地) impacted by PM2.5 levels. “Females and ethnic minorities face sexism and racism,” said Zang. “If there were policies friendly to them currently, they would have the resources to lessen the negative influences.” More privileged populations, however, might have more resources that allow them to live in a better environment, such as in houses with air purifiers. “The level of PM2.5 pollution in the US is relatively low, but students living in areas below the current air quality standard of annual PM2.5 concentration are still negatively impacted by air pollution when it comes to their test scores,” said Zang. “We should aim to strengthen the annual PM2.5 standard to better protect our children.” Air pollution is known to contribute to disease and death, and it also negatively affects students’ academic performance even at low levels of pollution. The subsequent studies, the researchers said, would involve looking at whether the findings hold true in different areas, and also the reasons behind the ethnic and sexual differences. 8. What’s the greatest advantage of the study? A. Tracking each student for 18 years. B. Collecting more comprehensive data. C. Measuring students’ PM2.5 exposure precisely. D Building links between air pollution and test scores. 9. According to Zang, ethnic minorities and girls____. A. have policies friendly to them currency B. benefit from current policies on PM2.5 pollution C. lack resources to reduce the impact of air pollution D. have the lowest test scores due to their special identities 10. What’s Zang doing in paragraph 3? A. Giving a prediction. B. Raising a doubt. C. Making a comparison. D. Offering a suggestion. 11. What might be the focus of the follow-up studies? A. Applicability of the findings to other regions. B. Ways to address racial and sexual differences. C. Long-term impacts of air pollution on children. D. Establishment of PM2.5 standard fit for children. D “WOW, THIS is not what I was expecting at all,” says Allison, a nurse, remembering the first romance novel she ever read. Having shared the general literary bias (偏见) towards romance novels, she is now crazy about this genre (体裁). Allison was browsing in The Ripped Bodice, a romance-novel shop that recently opened in Brooklyn. The day the shop opened, the queue to get in was more than an hour long. The shop, which is uniquely-decorated, is serious in its devotion to romance novels. The popularity of The Ripped Bodice (the second chain store devoted to romance in the district) is part of a larger shift. During the pandemic, when many were stuck at home and looking for escapist reading, fictional romance blossomed. In the year to May, romance print sales were up by 52%, according to a market-research firm. List-price sales grew by 74%. Annual growth in sales went from 6% in 2020 to more than 50% last year. Readers have changed too. Newer fans are mostly young adults and many are teenagers. They are keen on romance novels with a central love story and a happy ending. “The industry has a lot of respect for what has been happening with romance,” says Kristen, the manager of the market-research firm. “Now modern authors want to seek something deeper. Love is a powerful feeling. I wish that the writers could all see their way past thinking that those emotions are somehow less valuable than emotions that are built out of pain and sorrow,” says Sarah, author of “Knockout”－a best-seller about romance in this season. Librarians have noticed the shift too. Stephanie Anderson, of BookOps, which buys books for public libraries in New York and Brooklyn, notes that “the biggest challenge with romance at this point is finding the money and space to keep up with all the popular titles.” 12. What happened on the day when the Ripped Bodice opened? A. Some well-known writers appeared on the spot. B. Readers gathered there out of passion for romance novels. C. Readers showed little interest in this newly-opened book shop. D. Allison’s bias towards romance novels has deepened. 13. Which of the following may contribute to the popularity of fictional romance? A. Shifts of writing styles. B. The marketing strategy. C. The immobility during pandemic. D. People’s attempt to escape reading. 14. What can we learn from Sarah’s words in paragraph 4? A. Romance writers should dig into emotions built out of pain and sorrow. B. Romance authors should pay more attention to people’s thoughts in the past. C. Romance writers should get rid of the conventional plots completely. D. Romance authors should realize the power and value of love. 15 What is the main idea of the text? A. Romance novels have been gaining popularity since the pandemic. B. Romance authors will seek something deeper in writing romance. C. Allison fell in love with The Ripped Bodice. D. Readers are crowding into bookstores and libraries. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据所给内容，从给定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。 It isn’t unusual that our life is always accompanied by joys, sorrows and other emotions. ___16___ Thankfully, there are a number of mental health techniques you can use and lifestyle changes you can make to control and overcome these negative feelings.

And I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.” However, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. He did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest. Brian knew what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into the backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn't go very far, so Brian took another sheet and folded another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther.

He held an impressive personal best time of three hours and 18 minutes for the New Plymouth 42.2 k m Marathon—and ran his 50th and last marathon at 90 years old. (尽管科林在 65 岁时参加了旺格雷的首场马拉松比赛，并自称是个慢条斯理的人，但他后来又完成了 49 场马拉松比赛。他在新普利茅斯 42.2 公里马拉松比赛中创下了令人印象深刻的个人最好成绩 3 小时 18 分钟，并在 90 岁时跑完了第 50 场也是最后一场马拉松比赛。)”可知，科林已经完成了很多场马拉松，且成绩很好，由此可推知，他很富有成效，根据最后一段中“Colin has no plans to slow down, with his future ambition to finish 200-plusParkruns.(科林没有放慢脚步的计划，他未来的目标是完成 200 多次 Parkrun)”可推知，他很有雄心，故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Colin has no plans to slow down, with his future ambition to finish 200-plusParkruns.(科林没有放慢脚步的计划，他未来的目标是完成 200 多次 Parkrun)”可知，科林的未来目标是完成 200 多次 Parkrun。故选C。 C A new study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health finds air pollution may negatively impact standardized test scores. Using data from the North Carolina Education Research Data Center, the researchers tracked 2.8 million public school students in North Carolina from 2001 to 2018 and measured their exposure to PM 2.5 found in polluted air. While previous research has shown negative effects on academic performance, it has relied on relatively small or less representative samples. “The biggest strength of this study is that we tracked every student in North Carolina in those years. For the whole time period that they were in the public schools,” said Emma Zang, coauthor of the study. The study also finds that test scores of ethnic minorities and girls are disproportionately (不成比例地) impacted by PM2.5 levels. “Females and ethnic minorities face sexism and racism,” said Zang. “If there were policies friendly to them currently, they would have the resources to lessen the negative influences.” More privileged populations, however, might have more resources that allow them to live in a better environment, such as in houses with air purifiers. “The level of PM2.5 pollution in the US is relatively low, but students living in areas below the current air quality standard of annual PM2.5 concentration are still negatively impacted by air pollution when it comes to their test scores,” said Zang. “We should aim to strengthen the annual PM2.5 standard to better protect our children.” Air pollution is known to contribute to disease and death, and it also negatively affects students’ academic performance even at low levels of pollution. The subsequent studies, the researchers said, would involve looking at whether the findings hold true in different areas, and also the reasons behind the ethnic and sexual differences. 8. What’s the greatest advantage of the study? A. Tracking each student for 18 years. B. Collecting more comprehensive data. C. Measuring students’ PM2.5 exposure precisely. D. Building links between air pollution and test scores. 9. According to Zang, ethnic minorities and girls____. A. have policies friendly to them currency B. benefit from current policies on PM2.5 pollution C. lack resources to reduce the impact of air pollution D. have the lowest test scores due to their special identities 10. What’s Zang doing in paragraph 3? A. Giving a prediction. B. Raising a doubt. C. Making a comparison. D. Offering a suggestion. 11. What might be the focus of the follow-up studies? A. Applicability of the findings to other regions. B. Ways to address racial and sexual differences. C. Long-term impacts of air pollution on children. D. Establishment of PM2.5 standard fit for children. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了耶鲁大学公共卫生学院的研究人员领导的一项新研究发现，空气污染可能会对标准化考试成绩产生负面影响。文章介绍了研究的具体发现以及相应的应对建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的““The biggest strength of this study is that we tracked every student in North Carolina in those years. For the whole time period that they were in the public schools,” said Emma Zang, coauthor of the study. (该研究的合著者Emma Zang说：“这项研究最大的优势在于，我们追踪了北卡罗来纳州那些年的每一位学生，追踪了他们在公立学校上学的整个时间。”)”可知，这项研究最大的优势是收集了更全面的数据。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The study also finds that test scores of ethnic minorities and girls are disproportionately (不成比例地) impacted by PM2.5 levels. “Females and ethnic minorities face sexism and racism,” said Zang. “If there were policies friendly to them currently, they would have the resources to lessen the negative influences.” More privileged populations, however, might have more resources that allow them to live in a better environment, such as in houses with air purifiers. (该研究还发现，少数族群和女孩的考试成绩不成比例地受到PM2.5水平的影响。“女性和少数族群面临着性别歧视和种族主义，”臧说。“如果目前有对他们友好的政策，他们就会有资源来减轻负面影响。”然而，更有特权的人群可能拥有更多的资源，可以让他们生活在更好的环境中，比如有空气净化器的房子。)”可知，少数族群和女孩缺乏减少空气污染影响的资源。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““The level of PM2.5 pollution in the US is relatively low, but students living in areas below the current air quality standard of annual PM2.5 concentration are still negatively impacted by air pollution when it comes to their test scores,” said Zang. “We should aim to strengthen the annual PM2.5 standard to better protect our children.” (“美国的PM2.5污染水平相对较低，但生活在低于当前PM2.5年空气质量标准地区的学生，在考试成绩方面仍然受到空气污染的负面影响，”臧说。“我们应该致力于提高PM2.5年度标准，以更好地保护我们的孩子。”)”可知，臧在第三段提供建议。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The subsequent studies, the researchers said, would involve looking at whether the findings hold true in different areas, and also the reasons behind the ethnic and sexual differences. (研究人员表示，随后的研究将考察这些发现是否在不同地区也成立，以及探究造成种族和性别差异背后的原因。)”可推知，后续研究的重点可能是调查结果对其他区域的适用性。故选A。 D “WOW, THIS is not what I was expecting at all,” says Allison, a nurse, remembering the first romance novel she ever read. Having shared the general literary bias (偏见) towards romance novels, she is now crazy about this genre (体裁). Allison was browsing in The Ripped Bodice, a romance-novel shop that recently opened in Brooklyn. The day the shop opened, the queue to get in was more than an hour long. The shop, which is uniquely-decorated, is serious in its devotion to romance novels. The popularity of The Ripped Bodice (the second chain store devoted to romance in the district) is part of a larger shift. During the pandemic, when many were stuck at home and looking for escapist reading, fictional romance blossomed. In the year to May, romance print sales were up by 52%, according to a market-research firm. List-price sales grew by 74%. Annual growth in sales went from 6% in 2020 to more than 50% last year. Readers have changed too. Newer fans are mostly young adults and many are teenagers. They are keen on romance novels with a central love story and a happy ending. “The industry has a lot of respect for what has been happening with romance,” says Kristen, the manager of the market-research firm. “Now modern authors want to seek something deeper. Love is a powerful feeling. I wish that the writers could all see their way past thinking that those emotions are somehow less valuable than emotions that are built out of pain and sorrow,” says Sarah, author of “Knockout”－a best-seller about romance in this season. Librarians have noticed the shift too. Stephanie Anderson, of BookOps, which buys books for public libraries in New York and Brooklyn, notes that “the biggest challenge with romance at this point is finding the money and space to keep up with all the popular titles.” 12. What happened on the day when the Ripped Bodice opened? A. Some well-known writers appeared on the spot. B Readers gathered there out of passion for romance novels. C. Readers showed little interest in this newly-opened book shop. D. Allison’s bias towards romance novels has deepened. 13. Which of the following may contribute to the popularity of fictional romance? A. Shifts of writing styles. B. The marketing strategy. C. The immobility during pandemic. D. People’s attempt to escape reading. 14. What can we learn from Sarah’s words in paragraph 4? A. Romance writers should dig into emotions built out of pain and sorrow. B. Romance authors should pay more attention to people’s thoughts in the past. C. Romance writers should get rid of the conventional plots completely. D. Romance authors should realize the power and value of love. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Romance novels have been gaining popularity since the pandemic. B. Romance authors will seek something deeper in writing romance. C. Allison fell in love with The Ripped Bodice. D. Readers are crowding into bookstores and libraries. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15.

Love is a powerful feeling. I wish that the writers could all see their way past thinking that those emotions are somehow less valuable than emotions that are built out of pain and sorrow,” says Sarah, author of “Knockout”－a best-seller about romance in this season.(Sarah是一位畅销书作家，她的作品《Knockout》讲述了本赛季的浪漫故事。她表示：“现在现代作者想要寻求更深层次的东西。爱情是一种强大的情感。我希望作家们能够认识到，那些情感并不比那些建立在痛苦和悲伤之上的情感价值更低。”)”可知，Sarah认为现代作者希望寻求更深层次的情感表达，而不仅仅是基于痛苦和悲伤的情感，他们认为爱情是一种更强大的情感，即她的话表达了现代坐着认识到爱情的力量和价值。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了在疫情期间，人们寻找逃避现实的阅读材料，导致浪漫小说销量大增。这种趋势吸引了大量年轻读者，尤其是青少年，他们对以爱情故事为中心、结局幸福的浪漫小说特别感兴趣。同时，现代作者也在寻求更深层次的情感表达，而不仅仅是基于痛苦和悲伤的情感。总的来说，浪漫小说市场正在经历一场显著的增长和变化。A选项“Romance novels have been gaining popularity since the pandemic.( 自新冠疫情以来，爱情小说越来越受欢迎。)”概括文章主要内容，符合题意。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据所给内容，从给定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。 It isn’t unusual that our life is always accompanied by joys, sorrows and other emotions. ___16___ Thankfully, there are a number of mental health techniques you can use and lifestyle changes you can make to control and overcome these negative feelings.

And then they would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane flew the farthest would win. When Mr. Moose announced the paper airplane contest, all the students were very excited. Paul, who was on the wrestling team, said to other students: “I am the strongest. And I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.” However, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. He did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest. Brian knew what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into the backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn't go very far, so Brian took another sheet and folded another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为120左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the contest day, all the students lined up on the playground. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The whole school cheered as Brian went up to get his prize! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 第一段： Finally, it was Brian's turn.

Mr Moose gave him a prize:a toy airplane. 第二段： Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far. He did this by testing out many different designs and comparing the results. When he found the design that worked best and the paper airplane that flew the farthest, he was happy to use it. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了科学老师穆斯先生决定学校将举办一场纸飞机比赛。每个学生都会设计一架纸飞机。然后他们会轮流扔飞机。飞机飞得最远的学生将获胜。学生布莱恩热爱飞机，真的想赢得比赛并通过自己不断琢磨并改善飞机，使飞机越飞越远。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛当天，所有的学生都在操场上排队。”可知，第一段可描写布莱恩展示自己的飞机并试飞获得第一名。 ②由第二段首句内容“当布莱恩上前领取奖品时，全校都欢呼起来！”可知，第二段可对布莱恩飞获胜原因进行分析。 2.续写线索：尽全力参赛——取得第一——获得奖励—— 全校欢呼——分析获胜原因 3.词汇激活 行为类 用尽全力：with all one’s strength /try one’s best/with all one’s might 掷出：throw/toss .对比：compare/ contrast/ make a comparison 情绪类 ①.欢呼：cheer/ hail/scared ②.高兴：happy / glad/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
