Johnson Public Library in Johnson, Vermont has just started a new chapter. Built in the early 1900s, the building has flooded more times than Johnson town administrator Thomas Galinat can count. In the last two years alone, it has been damaged in three different flood events, with a severely damaging moment in July 2023, when 9 feet of water filled the building.
As the only historic Georgian revival-style building in the city, the library’s building holds significance. And according to a 2017 engineering study, if the building were to stay in the same place, Galinat said, the city would have to do hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of management to keep it—and its entire basement storage—from sinking.
The city rallied(振作精神). They were determined to pick up the historic building and move it out of the danger zone. And last Saturday—April 26—was moving day. Using 28 large lifting vehicles, 60 to 70 construction workers, a dozen service workers, four police cruisers, two ambulances, and a fire truck, the community rolled the 119-ton library about a half-mile through town. Making its way across the river, and over a bridge, the library and its staff moved overnight in darkness. After traveling across the downtown section of a two-road state highway, Route 15, Johnson Public Library is now re-settled between Johnson Elementary School and Legion Field.
“We are not just jacking up and rolling the physical building down the street, we are creating a new center of Johnson that is free from the risk of flooding,” Galinat stated. “This is a message for Johnson, and all of Vermont, it is time to do something different.”
Along with the volunteers who advocated for the move, local youths also painted the boards protecting the library’s windows during the trip.
One of the signs sums it all up. “Library magic,” it reads.
4. What caused the move of Johnson Public Library?
A. Historic value. B. Volunteer efforts.
C. Natural disasters. D. Construction demand.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The failure in the move. B. The details of the moving process.
C. The impact of relocation. D. The community’s determination.
6. What does Galinat think of the relocation of the library?
A. Wasteful. B. Risky. C. Indifferent. D. Innovative.
7. What does the underlined part “Library magic” in the last paragraph mean?
A. The future of the library. B. The library’s importance.
C. The community’s unity. D. The wonder of the move.

Researchers studying the brains of songbirds have found that aging influences the gene expressions that control the birds’ song. The finding could lead to earlier diagnoses and better treatments for human neurodegenerative (神经变性的) disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, which affect vocal production in their early stages.
The study found that networks of interacting genes, in a region of the bird’s brain involved with singing, dramatically change as the bird ages. At the center of these networks are “hub genes (key control genes) ” that drive activity of many other genes. A better understanding of the hub genes could be crucial to developing treatments for age-related disorders.
Zebra finches (斑胸草雀), native to Australia, have a strikingly similar-looking brain to humans’, particularly the brain movement-control area, which is used for motor function, including speech. The finches also develop their birdsong by copying their parents and other birds around them — the same way humans learn to speak.
Perhaps most importantly to researchers, the birdsong is also a measurable marker for changes in the brain, enabling scientists to track changes in sound height, volume, and strength. Researchers recorded the songs of 36 birds, ranging widely in age, and studied how the genes associated with singing began to behave differently as the birds grew older.
“There is some hopeful news in that the bird is still able to produce the song behavior, even with the genetic changes, and it suggests that there are also some ways that the bird is adapting to what’s going on in the brain,” says Miller, an associate professor in the neuroscience department. “This might offer recovery methods for humans.”
Miller says she hopes further research can shed more light on the changes to the hub genes as the finches age.
8. What role do hub genes play in the gene networks?
A. They make other genes function.
B. They are direct age-related genes.
C. They stay unchanged as birds age.
D. They offer treatment to disorders.
9. What primarily makes finches suitable for brain aging research?
A. Their brain structure. B. Their singing ability.
C. Their relation to humans. D. Their way of learning.
10. How did the researchers measure changes in the birdsong?
A. By observing the birds’ daily activities.
B. By recording songs of birds of varying ages.
C. By comparing songs to human vocal patterns.
D. By changing the birds’ sound height of songs.
11. Which factor of songbirds can bring hope to humans in resisting aging?
A. Their genetic changes. B. Their ability to adapt to aging.
C. Their changes to the hub genes. D. Their act of producing the song.
D
In 1807, the German naturalist Alexander Humboldt made a famous drawing of Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador. One side was green with clouds; the other had species names at different heights. It’s a reminder of the richness of life a single mountain can hold.
Recent studies show mountains often have more species than plains and jungles nearby. Though covering only 25% of Earth’s land (excluding Antarctica), mountains are home to 87% of species. But biodiversity varies wildly from one mountain to the next, which has been difficult to explain. Some scientists have called this “Humboldt’s mystery”.
Now, a new paper published in the journal Science suggests that the very process of mountain formation might be the cause of this phenomenon — the rate and strength of geological uplift determine how rocks, river channels, and microclimates divide the land into different parts, and how many different ecological regions will form. The authors found that the higher the mountain and the faster the uplift rate, the greater the biodiversity that the mountains possess.
To measure how the rise of a mountain range influences evolution, researchers ran a series of mountain building simulations (模拟), where they placed a population of 100 individuals of a single species of rodent (啮齿动物) on a plain and watched how they spread and adapted under different rates of land rising over the span of 20 million years. The team chose rodents as they’re sensitive to habitat changes and diverse in mountain ecosystems with fossil records. The simulation could be adjusted for other species.
As simulated mountains rose, animals moved to new habitats and some got separated. This led to new species over time. Species variety was linked to mountain rising speed and height, and this pattern held even when model data changed.
An outside expert said this study elegantly showed mountain uplift and geography’s big impact on species diversity. For example, the fast-rising Andes are species-rich, while the Atlas Mountains have lower diversity. Earth’s outer layer movements may shape creature adaptation and evolution over millions of years.
12. Why was the famous drawing of Chimborazo volcano mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To show respect for the painter. B. To prove the richness of mountains.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To describe the drawing.
13. What makes “Humboldt’s mystery” puzzling?
A. Slow evolution of species. B. Plains having more species.
C. Limited mountain fossil records. D. Varying biodiversity across mountains.
14. What fact does the comparison between the Andes and Atlas Mountains support?
A. Faster uplift links to more species. B. Height aids the survival of rodents.
C. Older mountains have fewer species. D. Human impact on Atlas biodiversity.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. As Climate Shifts, Mountain Life Adapts.
B. As Mountains Rise, Biodiversity Improves.
C. With Global Warming, Species Face Extinction.
D. With Height Increasing, Habitats Become Broken.

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。
When you think of threats from climate change, you probably think of flooding and wind from powerful storms or unbearable heatwaves. ___16___ These are the kinds of events that affect people’s lives but don’t necessarily make the news.
____17____ Hotter temperatures due to climate change contribute to price increases. Friderike Kuik at the European Central Bank and her colleagues analyzed links between changing temperatures and thousands of price data from around the world. Across the board, they found that higher average temperatures, not just extreme events, lead to price increases. ____18____
Air conditioning is becoming more common and expensive. Higher temperatures also increase air conditioning costs. In hot places, people with air conditioning have to run it longer and more often for the same cooling effect. ____19____ People living in places that were once cool enough to get by without air conditioning are now having to install it for the first time. In most of the world, the increased cost of cooling wipes out any reduced heating costs.
We’re sleeping less because of rising temperatures. ____20____ Renjie Chen at Fudan University in China and his colleagues analyzed more than 20 million nights’ worth of sleep monitoring data from hundreds of thousands of people in China. They found that a 10°C rise in temperature on a given night made it 20 per cent more likely someone wouldn’t get enough sleep. With climate change under a worst-case pollution level, they estimated (估计) higher temperatures could amount to each person in China losing about 33 hours of sleep per year by the end of the century.
A. Noise from air conditioners disturbs sleep.
B. Climate change is driving up the cost of food and everything else.
C. This can often increase energy bills beyond what people can afford.
D. Weather-related delays are also rising for train systems and at airports.
E. This was especially true in regions closer to the equator, where the effect lasts all year.
F. Even when we can turn on the air conditioning, hotter temperatures overnight can affect our sleep.
G. But there are a series of more lasting ways climate change is affecting our day-to-day experiences.

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。
When I was in the first grade, I loved school but hated walking home when the school day was over. It was a journey of several blocks, and part of this journey—around a huge, brick Army National Guard building—frightened and disturbed me. That building, along with its large parking lot, took up the whole corner of the block. There was no way for me to reach home except to walk across two sides of that corner and walk around it.
Nothing terrible ever happened to me there, but for some reason, this extremely large building scared me. The site frequently had multiple types of artillery (大炮), military equipment, and vehicles near it, and all the activity frightened me. The soldiers performed marching exercises and fitness drills in the parking lot, and I always felt like they were watching me. When a commander would yell out orders and an entire group would respond in unison, I’d jump at the sounds.
The result was that I sometimes froze where I stood or walked so slowly that my mother questioned me about why it had taken me so long to get home. I came to be afraid of the school bell because it meant I had to walk by that National Guard building and its parking lot.
The only good thing about that corner was that, once I got around it, I always ran into a friendly and very intelligent Dalmatian (斑点狗) named Chief, which I looked forward to seeing every day.
One day, early in the school year, when the National Guard corner was particularly active with moving vehicles and soldiers marching here and there, I heard a loud bang. I froze in my tracks and couldn’t move. The noise hadn’t disturbed anyone else, and the military activity on the corner continued like nothing had happened, but I remained glued to the spot where I first heard the bang. Nervous and frightened, my mind raced with thoughts of fire, bombs, and explosions. I started breathing heavily, and my legs began shaking.
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。
Suddenly, Chief appeared at my side.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thereafter, Chief met me every day, and we walked around the corner together.

Johnson Public Library in Johnson, Vermont has just started a new chapter. Built in the early 1900s, the building has flooded more times than Johnson town administrator Thomas Galinat can count. In the last two years alone, it has been damaged in three different flood events, with a severely damaging moment in July 2023, when 9 feet of water filled the building.
As the only historic Georgian revival-style building in the city, the library’s building holds significance. And according to a 2017 engineering study, if the building were to stay in the same place, Galinat said, the city would have to do hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of management to keep it—and its entire basement storage—from sinking.
The city rallied(振作精神). They were determined to pick up the historic building and move it out of the danger zone. And last Saturday—April 26—was moving day. Using 28 large lifting vehicles, 60 to 70 construction workers, a dozen service workers, four police cruisers, two ambulances, and a fire truck, the community rolled the 119-ton library about a half-mile through town. Making its way across the river, and over a bridge, the library and its staff moved overnight in darkness. After traveling across the downtown section of a two-road state highway, Route 15, Johnson Public Library is now re-settled between Johnson Elementary School and Legion Field.
“We are not just jacking up and rolling the physical building down the street, we are creating a new center of Johnson that is free from the risk of flooding,” Galinat stated. “This is a message for Johnson, and all of Vermont, it is time to do something different.”
Along with the volunteers who advocated for the move, local youths also painted the boards protecting the library’s windows during the trip.
One of the signs sums it all up. “Library magic,” it reads.
4. What caused the move of Johnson Public Library?
A. Historic value. B. Volunteer efforts.
C. Natural disasters. D. Construction demand.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The failure in the move. B. The details of the moving process.
C. The impact of relocation. D. The community’s determination.
6. What does Galinat think of the relocation of the library?
A. Wasteful. B. Risky. C. Indifferent. D. Innovative.
7. What does the underlined part “Library magic” in the last paragraph mean?
A. The future of the library. B. The library’s importance.
C. The community’s unity. D. The wonder of the move.

Researchers studying the brains of songbirds have found that aging influences the gene expressions that control the birds’ song. The finding could lead to earlier diagnoses and better treatments for human neurodegenerative (神经变性的) disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, which affect vocal production in their early stages.
The study found that networks of interacting genes, in a region of the bird’s brain involved with singing, dramatically change as the bird ages. At the center of these networks are “hub genes (key control genes) ” that drive activity of many other genes. A better understanding of the hub genes could be crucial to developing treatments for age-related disorders.
Zebra finches (斑胸草雀), native to Australia, have a strikingly similar-looking brain to humans’, particularly the brain movement-control area, which is used for motor function, including speech. The finches also develop their birdsong by copying their parents and other birds around them — the same way humans learn to speak.
Perhaps most importantly to researchers, the birdsong is also a measurable marker for changes in the brain, enabling scientists to track changes in sound height, volume, and strength. Researchers recorded the songs of 36 birds, ranging widely in age, and studied how the genes associated with singing began to behave differently as the birds grew older.
“There is some hopeful news in that the bird is still able to produce the song behavior, even with the genetic changes, and it suggests that there are also some ways that the bird is adapting to what’s going on in the brain,” says Miller, an associate professor in the neuroscience department. “This might offer recovery methods for humans.”
Miller says she hopes further research can shed more light on the changes to the hub genes as the finches age.
8. What role do hub genes play in the gene networks?
A. They make other genes function.
B. They are direct age-related genes.
C. They stay unchanged as birds age.
D. They offer treatment to disorders.
9. What primarily makes finches suitable for brain aging research?
A. Their brain structure. B. Their singing ability.
C. Their relation to humans. D. Their way of learning.
10. How did the researchers measure changes in the birdsong?
A. By observing the birds’ daily activities.
B. By recording songs of birds of varying ages.
C. By comparing songs to human vocal patterns.
D. By changing the birds’ sound height of songs.
11. Which factor of songbirds can bring hope to humans in resisting aging?
A. Their genetic changes. B. Their ability to adapt to aging.
C. Their changes to the hub genes. D. Their act of producing the song.

In 1807, the German naturalist Alexander Humboldt made a famous drawing of Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador. One side was green with clouds; the other had species names at different heights. It’s a reminder of the richness of life a single mountain can hold.
Recent studies show mountains often have more species than plains and jungles nearby. Though covering only 25% of Earth’s land (excluding Antarctica), mountains are home to 87% of species. But biodiversity varies wildly from one mountain to the next, which has been difficult to explain. Some scientists have called this “Humboldt’s mystery”.
Now, a new paper published in the journal Science suggests that the very process of mountain formation might be the cause of this phenomenon — the rate and strength of geological uplift determine how rocks, river channels, and microclimates divide the land into different parts, and how many different ecological regions will form. The authors found that the higher the mountain and the faster the uplift rate, the greater the biodiversity that the mountains possess.
To measure how the rise of a mountain range influences evolution, researchers ran a series of mountain building simulations (模拟), where they placed a population of 100 individuals of a single species of rodent (啮齿动物) on a plain and watched how they spread and adapted under different rates of land rising over the span of 20 million years. The team chose rodents as they’re sensitive to habitat changes and diverse in mountain ecosystems with fossil records. The simulation could be adjusted for other species.
As simulated mountains rose, animals moved to new habitats and some got separated. This led to new species over time. Species variety was linked to mountain rising speed and height, and this pattern held even when model data changed.
An outside expert said this study elegantly showed mountain uplift and geography’s big impact on species diversity. For example, the fast-rising Andes are species-rich, while the Atlas Mountains have lower diversity. Earth’s outer layer movements may shape creature adaptation and evolution over millions of years.
12. Why was the famous drawing of Chimborazo volcano mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To show respect for the painter. B. To prove the richness of mountains.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To describe the drawing.
13. What makes “Humboldt’s mystery” puzzling?
A. Slow evolution of species. B. Plains having more species.
C. Limited mountain fossil records. D. Varying biodiversity across mountains.
14. What fact does the comparison between the Andes and Atlas Mountains support?
A. Faster uplift links to more species. B. Height aids the survival of rodents.
C. Older mountains have fewer species. D. Human impact on Atlas biodiversity.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. As Climate Shifts, Mountain Life Adapts.
B. As Mountains Rise, Biodiversity Improves.
C. With Global Warming, Species Face Extinction.
D. With Height Increasing, Habitats Become Broken.

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In 1807,the German naturalist Alexander Humboldt made a famous drawing of Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador...It’s a reminder of the richness of life a single mountain can hold.(1807年,德国博物学家亚历山大·洪堡绘制了一幅著名的厄瓜多尔钦博拉索火山图……这提醒着人们一座山就能承载丰富的生命。)”以及后文围绕山脉生物多样性展开论述可知,提及这幅火山图是为了自然引出“山脉生物多样性”这一核心话题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But biodiversity varies wildly from one mountain to the next, which has been difficult to explain. Some scientists have called this “Humboldt’s mystery”.(但不同山脉之间的生物多样性差异巨大,这一现象难以解释。一些科学家将其称为“洪堡之谜”)”可知,“洪堡之谜”的困惑之处在于不同山脉的生物多样性存在显著差异。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“An outside expert said this study elegantly showed mountain uplift and geography’s big impact on species diversity. For example, the fast-rising Andes are species-rich, while the Atlas Mountains have lower diversity.(一位外部专家表示,这项研究巧妙地展示了山脉隆起和地理环境对物种多样性的重大影响。例如,快速隆起的安第斯山脉物种丰富,而阿特拉斯山脉的生物多样性较低。)”可知,安第斯山脉(快速隆起,物种丰富)与阿特拉斯山脉(未提及快速隆起,多样性低)的对比,是为了支撑“山脉隆起速度越快,物种多样性越高”这一观点。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中的“Now, a new paper published in the journal Science suggests that the very process of mountain formation might be the cause of this phenomenon — the rate and strength of geological uplift determine how rocks, river channels, and microclimates divide the land into different parts, and how many different ecological regions will form. The authors found that the higher the mountain and the faster the uplift rate, the greater the biodiversity that the mountains possess.(如今,发表在《科学》期刊上的一篇新论文指出,山脉形成过程本身或许就是这一现象的成因 —— 地质隆起的速率与强度,决定了岩石、河道及微气候如何将陆地分割成不同区域,以及最终会形成多少个不同的生态区。论文作者发现,山脉海拔越高、隆起速率越快,其拥有的生物多样性就越丰富。)”可知,文章核心围绕“山脉隆起与生物多样性的关系”展开,即山脉隆起速度越快、高度越高,生物多样性越丰富。所以标题为“随着山脉隆起,生物多样性增加”。故选B项。

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。
When I was in the first grade, I loved school but hated walking home when the school day was over. It was a journey of several blocks, and part of this journey—around a huge, brick Army National Guard building—frightened and disturbed me. That building, along with its large parking lot, took up the whole corner of the block. There was no way for me to reach home except to walk across two sides of that corner and walk around it.
Nothing terrible ever happened to me there, but for some reason, this extremely large building scared me. The site frequently had multiple types of artillery (大炮), military equipment, and vehicles near it, and all the activity frightened me. The soldiers performed marching exercises and fitness drills in the parking lot, and I always felt like they were watching me. When a commander would yell out orders and an entire group would respond in unison, I’d jump at the sounds.
The result was that I sometimes froze where I stood or walked so slowly that my mother questioned me about why it had taken me so long to get home. I came to be afraid of the school bell because it meant I had to walk by that National Guard building and its parking lot.
The only good thing about that corner was that, once I got around it, I always ran into a friendly and very intelligent Dalmatian (斑点狗) named Chief, which I looked forward to seeing every day.
One day, early in the school year, when the National Guard corner was particularly active with moving vehicles and soldiers marching here and there, I heard a loud bang. I froze in my tracks and couldn’t move. The noise hadn’t disturbed anyone else, and the military activity on the corner continued like nothing had happened, but I remained glued to the spot where I first heard the bang. Nervous and frightened, my mind raced with thoughts of fire, bombs, and explosions. I started breathing heavily, and my legs began shaking.
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。
Suddenly, Chief appeared at my side.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thereafter, Chief met me every day, and we walked around the corner together.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, Chief appeared at my side. He looked up at me with his big, kind eyes, as if sensing my fear. He gently nudged my leg with his nose, as if trying to tell me not to be afraid. His presence immediately comforted me, and my breathing started to slow down. I reached out to stroke his soft fur, and the warmth of his body made me feel safe. With Chief by my side, I found the courage to take a step forward, and then another, gradually walking past the intimidating National Guard building.
Thereafter, Chief met me every day, and we walked around the corner together. His company was a constant source of reassurance. Whenever I heard the loud commands or saw the military vehicles moving, I would look down at Chief, and his calm demeanor would soothe my nerves. As the days passed, my fear of the corner lessened. Chief became my protector and friend, and the once - terrifying journey home turned into an enjoyable walk, all thanks to this wonderful Dalmatian.
【解析】
