Eight-year-old Maggie Carosino spent last year on homeschooling and her science class of choice was botany (植物学). Her mother Reagan said she took Maggie for an educational visit to Lake Rasmussen in Duvall last fall when the little scientist noticed an unusual plant in the water. King County officials said they were amazed to receive an email telling them about the possible invasive plant (入侵植物). A couple of scientists said that it was an invasive plant known as “Egeria” that can cause big problems.
Sasha Shaw, with King County’s Noxious Weed Program, said that Egeria is “a super invasive water plant that’s never been found in the local river.” Egeria is an issue because if left unchecked it will spread to a point where it prevents light from reaching other plants and reduces oxygen for fish, according to Shaw.
Maggie’s discovery was important in its timing as the county worked quickly to have a look and found no signs of Egeria having spread outside of the lake to this point.
“Her love of plants was what got Maggie to the lake but the fact that she felt some sort of duty to notice the plant and say ‘hey mom, we gotta tell somebody!’ is just amazing,” said Shaw.
Shaw said that the Egeria likely came from someone who threw a fish tank (鱼缸) into the lake. This is a good chance for the county to remind people that leaving unwanted pets and plants in the wild can lead to serious problems.
4. Why did Reagan take Maggie to Lake Rasmussen?
A. To meet some scientists. B. To have a relaxing day together.
C. To find an invasive plant. D. To learn something about plants.
5. What problem can Egeria cause?
A. It blocks out the light. B. It gives fish too much food.
C. It is highly poisonous. D. It produces too much oxygen.
6. What lesson does Shaw hope people can learn?
A. It is bad to put fish in fish tanks.
B. It is not so difficult to become a scientist.
C. It matters a lot to deal with unwanted animals properly.
D. It leads to serious problems to be famous at a young age.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. 8-year-old girl is a big nature lover. B. 8-year-old girl knows a lot about duty.
C. 8-year-old girl enjoys her homeschooling days. D. 8-year-old girl warns officials of a problem plant.
C
When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. The fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given in today’s world. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin-starred chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table screen-free have largely failed.
New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For every five portions (份) of fruits and vegetables (the recommended amount) that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat an extra one. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one.
The research suggests that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people’s choices of food and their diets. Study author Lily Hawkins said, “We can use social media as a tool to shape each other’s eating behaviour within friend groups and improve public health.”
Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People desire to copy what they see but they need good social media skills in order to identify what’s real and what’s not. It is necessary to avoid the fake (虚假的) perfection of social media.
It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. Therefore, stay on the lookout for new ideas. You can gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.
8. What phenomenon is talked about in paragraph 1?
A. The influence of social media on people’s diet. B. People’s habit of taking photos before eating.
C. Chefs’ efforts to make the table screen-free. D. The desire to have meals in fancy restaurants.
9. What did the research find about people seeing their friends’ food posts?
A. They’ll like what their friends eat.
B. They’ll take junk food more seriously.
C. They’ll care more about their friends’ eating habits.
D. They’ll consume more than they think their friends do.
10. What is Lily Hawkins’s attitude towards social media?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Point out the unreality of social media.
B. Call on people to learn more about cooking.
C. Introduce the general types of food posted online.
D. Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.
D
Is it time to stop visitors coming to Bath? That’s the question that leading travel guide Fodor’s Travel has asked its readers, in light of the fact that the ancient city — home to famous Roman baths and impressive Georgian architecture (建筑) — struggles to deal with levels of tourism it just wasn’t built for.
Fodor’s Travel’s Samantha Priestley points out that in high season and on weekends, visitors outnumber the locals in the city — population 94,000 — by 63 to one. Fodor’s Travel says: “The tourists who don’t stay long and don’t spend any money inside the city are the problem. Day-trippers create traffic problems in the streets while contributing very little to local business. This makes many locals unhappy because they think the day-trippers are causing trouble.”
That’s not a view shared by all. Libby Windle founder of Shop Local Bath, tells Fodor’s Travel: “I personally love having a busy tourist industry in Bath and having lots of different people from all over the world visiting our beautiful city. Obviously, it can make you feel dejected if you’re trying to get from A to B in the city centre quickly, but it’s worth that.”
Fodor’s Travel puts forward the suggestion that a tourist tax (税) might create a better environment for thoughtful tourists to enjoy the city’s culture and history, and worries over what tourism does to historical sites could be reduced by the funds for their protection. At the same time, editors at Fodor’s Travel are thinking about whether to add Bath to its influential No List — places you should reconsider visiting that are suffering from over-tourism.
12. What do we know about Bath?
A. It is limiting the number of visitors.
B. It is expecting to be explored by more visitors.
C. It is trying to bring ancient buildings back to life.
D. It is facing challenges in managing high tourism levels.
13. How does Fodor’s Travel find those taking quick trips in Bath?
A. They’re thoughtful. B. They’re responsible.
C. They’re troublesome. D. They’re disorganized.
14. What does the underlined word “dejected” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Comfortable. B. Upset. C. Embarrassed. D. Safe.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Benefits of tourism to Bath. B. Poor protection of historical sites.
C. Possible ways to manage Bath tourism. D. Bath’s increasing international influence.

Mary had always been a lover of tales. Her imagination was rich, and she often found herself making up stories in her head. Yet, she never dared to share them with anyone, confined (受限) by her shy nature and a fear of public speaking. Life passed her by in a routine that left little room for self-expression, and her stories remained locked within the walls of her mind.
One day, an old friend invited Mary to attend a local storytelling workshop. Hesitantly, she agreed, hoping to find a way to break free from her shell. As she entered the place, she felt a mix of expectation and fear. What if she stumbled(磕绊) over her words? What if people laughed at her? Despite her anxiety, Mary took her seat among the other participants, each there for their own reason—some seeking a new hobby, others looking for personal growth.
The workshop facilitator(主持人), a charming woman named Evelyn, greeted them warmly. She spoke of the power of stories and the beauty of sharing one’s voice. As the hours went by, Mary learned techniques to build suspense(悬念), create lifelike characters, and tell a fascinating story. The other participants listened carefully, offering ideas and encouragement. For the first time in a long while, Mary felt seen and heard.
As the day drew to a close, Evelyn announced an upcoming storytelling competition. It would be held in a few weeks at, a local bookstore. To Mary’s surprise, she found herself volunteering to participate. The thought of standing onstage frightened her, but something within her longed for the challenge.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

From that day on. Mary practiced day and night.

Eight-year-old Maggie Carosino spent last year on homeschooling and her science class of choice was botany (植物学). Her mother Reagan said she took Maggie for an educational visit to Lake Rasmussen in Duvall last fall when the little scientist noticed an unusual plant in the water. King County officials said they were amazed to receive an email telling them about the possible invasive plant (入侵植物). A couple of scientists said that it was an invasive plant known as “Egeria” that can cause big problems.
Sasha Shaw, with King County’s Noxious Weed Program, said that Egeria is “a super invasive water plant that’s never been found in the local river.” Egeria is an issue because if left unchecked it will spread to a point where it prevents light from reaching other plants and reduces oxygen for fish, according to Shaw.
Maggie’s discovery was important in its timing as the county worked quickly to have a look and found no signs of Egeria having spread outside of the lake to this point.
“Her love of plants was what got Maggie to the lake but the fact that she felt some sort of duty to notice the plant and say ‘hey mom, we gotta tell somebody!’ is just amazing,” said Shaw.
Shaw said that the Egeria likely came from someone who threw a fish tank (鱼缸) into the lake. This is a good chance for the county to remind people that leaving unwanted pets and plants in the wild can lead to serious problems.
4. Why did Reagan take Maggie to Lake Rasmussen?
A. To meet some scientists. B. To have a relaxing day together.
C. To find an invasive plant. D. To learn something about plants.
5. What problem can Egeria cause?
A. It blocks out the light. B. It gives fish too much food.
C. It is highly poisonous. D. It produces too much oxygen.
6. What lesson does Shaw hope people can learn?
A. It is bad to put fish in fish tanks.
B. It is not so difficult to become a scientist.
C. It matters a lot to deal with unwanted animals properly.
D. It leads to serious problems to be famous at a young age.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. 8-year-old girl is a big nature lover. B. 8-year-old girl knows a lot about duty.
C. 8-year-old girl enjoys her homeschooling days. D. 8-year-old girl warns officials of a problem plant.

C
When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. The fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given in today’s world. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin-starred chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table screen-free have largely failed.
New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For every five portions (份) of fruits and vegetables (the recommended amount) that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat an extra one. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one.
The research suggests that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people’s choices of food and their diets. Study author Lily Hawkins said, “We can use social media as a tool to shape each other’s eating behaviour within friend groups and improve public health.”
Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People desire to copy what they see but they need good social media skills in order to identify what’s real and what’s not. It is necessary to avoid the fake (虚假的) perfection of social media.
It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. Therefore, stay on the lookout for new ideas. You can gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.
8. What phenomenon is talked about in paragraph 1?
A. The influence of social media on people’s diet. B. People’s habit of taking photos before eating.
C. Chefs’ efforts to make the table screen-free. D. The desire to have meals in fancy restaurants.
9. What did the research find about people seeing their friends’ food posts?
A. They’ll like what their friends eat.
B. They’ll take junk food more seriously.
C. They’ll care more about their friends’ eating habits.
D. They’ll consume more than they think their friends do.
10. What is Lily Hawkins’s attitude towards social media?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Point out the unreality of social media.
B. Call on people to learn more about cooking.
C. Introduce the general types of food posted online.
D. Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D

You can gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.(日复一日、一周又一周地琢磨一日三餐吃什么,难免会觉得乏味,难怪人们会想跟着朋友吃同样的东西。可惜的是,社交媒体上发布的内容,大多是耗时费力的食谱,或是摆盘精致的餐厅菜品。因此,要留意发掘新的饮食灵感 —— 你可以从美食杂志、食谱书、商店宣传单、可靠的烹饪网站,以及亲友推荐的菜谱中搜集这些创意)”可知,作者在最后一段想要表达鼓励人们拓宽获取灵感的食品来源。故选D。

Is it time to stop visitors coming to Bath? That’s the question that leading travel guide Fodor’s Travel has asked its readers, in light of the fact that the ancient city — home to famous Roman baths and impressive Georgian architecture (建筑) — struggles to deal with levels of tourism it just wasn’t built for.
Fodor’s Travel’s Samantha Priestley points out that in high season and on weekends, visitors outnumber the locals in the city — population 94,000 — by 63 to one. Fodor’s Travel says: “The tourists who don’t stay long and don’t spend any money inside the city are the problem. Day-trippers create traffic problems in the streets while contributing very little to local business. This makes many locals unhappy because they think the day-trippers are causing trouble.”
That’s not a view shared by all. Libby Windle, founder of Shop Local Bath, tells Fodor’s Travel: “I personally love having a busy tourist industry in Bath and having lots of different people from all over the world visiting our beautiful city. Obviously, it can make you feel dejected if you’re trying to get from A to B in the city centre quickly, but it’s worth that.”
Fodor’s Travel puts forward the suggestion that a tourist tax (税) might create a better environment for thoughtful tourists to enjoy the city’s culture and history, and worries over what tourism does to historical sites could be reduced by the funds for their protection. At the same time, editors at Fodor’s Travel are thinking about whether to add Bath to its influential No List — places you should reconsider visiting that are suffering from over-tourism.
12. What do we know about Bath?
A. It is limiting the number of visitors.
B. It is expecting to be explored by more visitors.
C. It is trying to bring ancient buildings back to life.
D. It is facing challenges in managing high tourism levels.
13. How does Fodor’s Travel find those taking quick trips in Bath?
A. They’re thoughtful. B. They’re responsible.
C. They’re troublesome. D. They’re disorganized.
14. What does the underlined word “dejected” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Comfortable. B. Upset. C. Embarrassed. D. Safe.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Benefits of tourism to Bath. B. Poor protection of historical sites.
C. Possible ways to manage Bath tourism. D. Bath’s increasing international influence.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕英国巴斯市是否该限制游客展开,指出其面临过度旅游问题(如一日游游客致拥堵、扰居民),各方看法不一,《福多尔旅行指南》还提出征收旅游税等应对建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“That’s the question that leading travel guide Fodor’s Travel has asked its readers, in light of the fact that the ancient city — home to famous Roman baths and impressive Georgian architecture (建筑) — struggles to deal with levels of tourism it just wasn’t built for.(这就是知名旅游指南《福多尔旅行指南》向读者提出的问题,因为这座历史悠久的城市(拥有著名的罗马浴场和宏伟的乔治亚建筑)正面临着其基础设施无法承受的游客数量所带来的挑战)”可知,巴斯在应对高游客量带来的管理问题方面面临挑战。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Day-trippers create traffic problems in the streets while contributing very little to local business. This makes many locals unhappy because they think the day-trippers are causing trouble.(一日游游客在街道上造成了交通拥堵,但却对当地经济贡献甚微。这让许多当地人感到不满,因为他们认为这些一日游游客给当地带来了麻烦)”可知,福多尔旅行社认为那些来巴斯进行短途旅行的游客很麻烦。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上下文“it can make you feel dejected if you’re trying to get from A to B in the city centre quickly”(如果你想在市中心快速从A地到B地,这种情况会让你感到______),结合第二段“Day-trippers create traffic problems in the streets while contributing very little to local business.(短途游客在街道上造成了交通拥堵,但却对当地经济贡献甚微)”提到了游客多导致拥挤的现象,可推断“dejected”应表示负面情绪。结合选项,B选项“沮丧的”最为接近。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Fodor’s Travel puts forward the suggestion that a tourist tax (税) might create a better environment for thoughtful tourists to enjoy the city’s culture and history, and worries over what tourism does to historical sites could be reduced by the funds for their protection. At the same time, editors at Fodor’s Travel are thinking about whether to add Bath to its influential No List — places you should reconsider visiting that are suffering from over-tourism.(福多尔旅游公司提出了一项建议,即征收游客税或许能为那些注重体验的游客提供一个更好的环境,让他们能够更好地领略这座城市的文化与历史。同时,对于旅游业对历史遗迹造成损害的担忧或许也能因用于保护这些遗迹的资金而有所缓解。与此同时,福多尔旅游公司的编辑们正在考虑是否将巴斯列入其颇具影响力的“不推荐名单”——那些因过度旅游而遭受破坏、值得重新考虑是否前往的旅游地)”可知,最后一段主要讲了管理巴斯旅游业的可行方法。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary had always been a lover of tales. Her imagination was rich, and she often found herself making up stories in her head. Yet, she never dared to share them with anyone, confined (受限) by her shy nature and a fear of public speaking. Life passed her by in a routine that left little room for self-expression, and her stories remained locked within the walls of her mind.
One day, an old friend invited Mary to attend a local storytelling workshop. Hesitantly, she agreed, hoping to find a way to break free from her shell. As she entered the place, she felt a mix of expectation and fear. What if she stumbled(磕绊) over her words? What if people laughed at her? Despite her anxiety, Mary took her seat among the other participants, each there for their own reason—some seeking a new hobby, others looking for personal growth.
The workshop facilitator(主持人), a charming woman named Evelyn, greeted them warmly. She spoke of the power of stories and the beauty of sharing one’s voice. As the hours went by, Mary learned techniques to build suspense(悬念), create lifelike characters, and tell a fascinating story. The other participants listened carefully, offering ideas and encouragement. For the first time in a long while, Mary felt seen and heard.
As the day drew to a close, Evelyn announced an upcoming storytelling competition. It would be held in a few weeks at, a local bookstore. To Mary’s surprise, she found herself volunteering to participate. The thought of standing onstage frightened her, but something within her longed for the challenge.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

From that day on. Mary practiced day and night.

Paragraph 2:
The big day came.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】From that Day on, Mary practiced day and night. She rehearsed her stories in front of the mirror, experimenting with different tones and gestures to bring her characters to life. Sometimes, she recorded herself and listened back. The more she practiced, the more she believed in herself, and the less she feared the upcoming competition. Her newfound confidence was evident to everyone around her, and her peers from the workshop, who had become a supportive circle of friends, cheered her on.
The big day came. Mary stepped on to the stage of the local bookstore and the sea of faces turned towards her expectantly. Taking a deep breath, she began to weave her tale, her voice at first hesitant but quickly gaining strength. As she immersed herself in the world of her story, the audience followed, their laughter echoing through the room, giving her the praise she had once only dreamed of. By the time she finished, the applause was thunderous, and Mary knew that not only had she overcome her fears, but she had also captured the hearts of everyone present.
