第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Which book you should read based on your next travel destination
Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan.
Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip.
Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America.
A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”.
Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot.
21. If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up?
A. The Fault in Our Stars. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude.
C. 1Q84. D. The Great Gatsby.
22. Which one of the followings is NOT true?
A. Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town.
B. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America.
C. “West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names.
D. The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
23. An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city.
According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city?
A. Tokyo. B. New York. C. Amsterdam. D. Sao Paulo.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本前往旅行目的地时可以阅读的文学作品。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. (日本著名作家村上春树创造了另一个1984,名为1Q84,在那里一切都感觉不对劲,一切都略有不同。以日本东京为背景,这本反乌托邦、充满神秘的奇幻小说一定会让你在旅途中着迷)”可知,《1Q84》这本书涉及平行存在,充满神秘,因此适合对平行存在感兴趣、充满想象力的读者。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. (作为一部重要的文学作品,加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的经典作品讲述了布恩迪亚家族几代人在南美小镇上的生活)”和第三段中“Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. (虽然经典小说中的“West Egg”和“East Egg”更像长岛的大颈和华盛顿港半岛,但人们认为,弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德在创作这本书时受到了汉普顿斯的启发)”可知,布恩迪亚家族家族几代人都住在他们的南美小镇上,“West Egg”和“East Egg”都是地名,《了不起的盖茨比》是弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德写的,A、C、D与文意相符。根据第二段中“Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. (加西亚·马尔克斯的魔幻现实主义与他丰富的描写相结合,使这本书成为参观南美洲一些令人惊叹的景点的完美读物)”可知,B项“《百年孤独》是一本主要描写南美洲风景的书”与文意不符。故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. (约翰·格林的故事曾于2014年被改编成电影,讲述了一群命运多舛的青少年,其中有一段著名的阿姆斯特丹之旅)”可知,《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书中包含青少年前往阿姆斯特丹的故事,再结合题干中“有人可能会对这种疯狂的情况感到惊讶:一位母亲把她16岁的女儿和一个17岁的男孩单独送到一个外国城市”的摘要可知,该摘要出自《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书,这座外国城市是阿姆斯特丹。故选C项。
B
I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas. Hours later, I completed my first short story. Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long. But also, since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write. Since then, I also felt less and less willing to share my work:what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else's? What started off as something creative that I could share with friends turned into competition changed by feelings of competence. Oftentimes, hobbies begin as something just for fun. But eventually, what was once fun now contributes to feelings of stress and inadequacy. I have plenty of memories of thinking I was going to pick up something new and stick with it, whether it be playing the piano, or drawing. But there is always a part of me that expects myself to just magically be good at all of those things. And when I’m not, the enjoyment tapers off as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore.
Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly. I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drop writing for months at a time. This feeling of a hobby becoming, for a lack of better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby.
But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation. We must accept that it is okay to just suck at an activity but still doing it because it brings you joy. There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves.
24. What does the author do in the first paragraph?
A. He challenges a tradition. B. He relates an experience.
C. He envisions a coming trend. D. He compares varied hobbies.
25. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “tapers off” in paragraph 1?
A. Thins out. B. Tops out. C. builds up. D. Spreads around.
26. Why does the author drop writing constantly?
A. He is inadequate for it. B. He prefers mediocrity.
C. He equates joy with achievement. D. He receives bitter comment.
27. What message does the passage convey?
A. Mediocrity is the key to enjoyment.
B. A hobby shared is a hobby squared.
C. Excellence ensures academic success.
D. Enjoyment outweighs excellence in hobbies.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己从五年级开始写作,随着阅读增多,发现同龄人写作水平高,因担心自己写得不好而逐渐不愿分享作品,写作从创意分享变成竞争,还提到其他爱好也因期望过高而带来压力,最后指出爱好应带来快乐,要在快乐和期望间找到平衡。

What started off as something creative that I could share with friends turned into competition changed by feelings of competence.(我记得五年级的一天,在和表弟就恐怖故事创意进行了一次愚蠢的对话后,我打开了iPad。几个小时后,我完成了我的第一个短篇小说。从那以后,我写了很多短篇和长篇故事。但同样,从那以后,我读得更多,也注意到我这个年纪的人写作水平有多高。从那以后,我也越来越不愿意分享我的作品:如果我的写作不如其他人的好呢?原本是一件我可以和朋友分享的创意之事,却变成了因能力感而改变的竞争。)”可知,作者在第一段讲述了一段自己的经历。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“And when I’m not, the enjoyment … as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore(当我不是这样的时候,随着慢慢地,我认为平庸不再被接受,这种乐趣就……了)”可知,当作者认为自己做得不好,认为平庸不再被接受时,乐趣就会减少,所以“tapers off”意思是“减少”。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly. I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drop writing for months at a time. This feeling of a hobby becoming, for a lack of better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby.(写作是我唯一一个不断放下却又反复捡起的爱好。这些年我能看到自己写作上的进步,但对越来越好的期望从未得到满足。这就是为什么我一次会放下写作好几个月。这种爱好变成了一种家务活的感觉,降低了这种爱好带来的满足感)”可知,这些年作者能看到自己写作上的进步,但对越来越好的期望从未得到满足,这就是为什么作者一次会放下写作好几个月,这种爱好变成了一种家务活的感觉,降低了这种爱好带来的满足感,可推理出作者不断放下写作是因为把快乐等同于成就,当达不到期望时,写作带来的快乐就降低了。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation. We must accept that it is okay to just suck at an activity but still doing it because it brings you joy. There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves(但爱好是为了让你在从学业到职业的各个方面都出类拔萃之余,能呼吸到新鲜空气。我们必须接受,在一项活动中表现不佳也没关系,只要它给你带来快乐。在快乐和期望之间有一个平衡,无论是别人设定的还是我们自己设定的)”可知,在一项活动中表现不佳也没关系,只要它给你带来快乐,可推理出文章主要传达的是在爱好中,快乐比优秀更重要。故选D项。
C
The sharp fin (鳍). The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals (刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear.
One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey (猎物), seals or dolphins. They don’t seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.
Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain. Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone. Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles. Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks, will destroy these meadows. When tiger sharks are present though, the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth.
Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic. Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth. Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do.
28. What do most people think about sharks?
A. They are ugly. B. They are important.
C. They are violent. D. They are complicated.
29. What does the author try to show by comparing shark bites to lightning strikes?
A. Shark bites are deadly. B. Shark bites are rare.
C. Shark bites are unpredictable. D. Shark bites are painful.
30. Why should sharks be scared of humans according to the author?
A. Humans keep sharks to show off.
B. Humans catch sharks for medical research.
C. Humans kill sharks in large quantities.
D. Humans are greater in number than sharks.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ocean Life: Save Our Sharks! B. Sharks: Kings of Protectors?
C. Ocean Life: An Ecological Crisis! D. Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood?
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了鲨鱼在电影和流行文化中的形象与实际情况存在差异,阐述了鲨鱼在海洋生态系统中的重要性,以及当前鲨鱼数量因人类活动而减少的现状。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. (你在电影《大白鲨》或探索频道的“鲨鱼周”中看到的鲨鱼并不是最友好的生物。它们可不是你在海里游泳时希望在身边发现的动物。)”以及第二段中“One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. (关于鲨鱼,一个非常普遍的误解是认为它们渴望猎杀人类。)”可知,大多数人认为鲨鱼很凶猛。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark. (从统计数据来看,你被闪电击中的可能性比被鲨鱼咬伤的可能性更大。)”可知,作者通过将鲨鱼咬人与被闪电击中进行比较,是为了说明鲨鱼咬人是很罕见的。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic. (尽管鲨鱼在人类眼中素有十分可怕的名声,但可悲的事实是,它们应该害怕人类。海洋中鲨鱼的数量正在稳步下降。这有几个原因。其一,它们成熟得相当缓慢,需要数年时间,而且繁殖的幼鲨数量相对较少。其二,由于越来越多的人想要鱼翅,过度捕捞鲨鱼的现象正在发生。据《国家地理》报道,每年约有一亿条鲨鱼被捕杀。)”可知,鲨鱼应该害怕人类是因为人类大量捕杀鲨鱼。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Despite their portrayals (刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear. (尽管在电影和流行文化中有各种刻画,但鲨鱼是复杂且被误解的生物,它们比看上去要脆弱。)”可知,文章主要介绍了鲨鱼并非如电影和流行文化中所刻画的那样凶猛且渴望捕猎人类,实际上它们很复杂且被误解,同时目前鲨鱼正面临数量急剧下降的危机,所以D项“Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood? (鲨鱼:杀手还是被误解了?)”能够概括文章主旨,适宜作为标题。故选D项。
D
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.
Professor Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the way in which other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future. He compared the potential problem of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55 million years ago.
Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat,” he writes.
Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added, “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly. That does raise the question: If temperatures do rise really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.”
However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Professor Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”
32. How do mammals cope with climate change according to Brusatte?
A. Moving to colder regions. B. Reducing their body size.
C. Losing their weight. D. Adapting their diet.
33. What does the underlined word “dissipation” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Exchange. B. Formation. C. Absorption. D. Emission.
34. What is Adrian Lister’s attitude towards the recent study?
A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Approving.
35. What is the best title of this text?
A. The Threat of Climate Change to Human Survival
B. The Impact of Climate Change on Mammal Body Sizes
C. The Evolutionary Trends in Mammal Body Sizes
D. The Adaptive Strategies of Mammals to Climate Change
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章本文探讨了气候变化对哺乳动物尤其是人类的体型的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said. (一位著名化石专家表示,气候危机可能会导致人类体型缩小,因为体型较小的哺乳动物似乎更能应对不断上升的全球气温。)”及第四段中“Brusatte said that becoming smaller was ‘a common way that mammals deal with climate change’. ( Brusatte说,变小是“哺乳动物应对气候变化的一种常见方式”。)”可知,根据Brusatte的说法,哺乳动物减小体型来应对气候变化。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. (在《哺乳动物的兴起和统治》一书中,Brusatte指出,当今世界上温暖地区的动物通常比寒冷地区的动物要小,这是一个被称为Bergmann法则的生态原则。)”和划线词句中“The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals (原因尚不完全清楚,但可能在一定程度上是因为比较起更大的动物,较小的动物相对于其体积有更高的表面积)”可知,体型较小的动物比体型较大的动物更容易散热,从而推知划线部分“and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat (从而可以提高额外热量的dissipation)”其中划线部分意思是“散发”。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Professor Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak.(然而,并不是所有的专家都认为气温升高会导致哺乳动物体型缩小。伦敦自然历史博物馆的Adrian Lister教授说,最近的人类遗骸研究显示的这种关系很弱。)”以及“That is not happening in today’s world.(这在今天的世界是不会发生的。)”等内容可知,Adrian Lister对最近的研究持怀疑态度。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said. (一位著名化石专家表示,气候危机可能会导致人类体型缩小,因为体型较小的哺乳动物似乎更能应对不断上升的全球气温。)”可知,本文探讨了气候变化对哺乳动物尤其是人类的体型的影响。B“气候变化对哺乳动物体型的影响”符合主题,故选B项。

Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. ___36___ If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that.

But when you focus on the positive, no matter how small, you attract more of the positive.

A Traditional Chinese Festival Food
Chinese festival food is a crucial element of traditional Chinese culture, with a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes. Today, I’d like to introduce dumplings, a traditional food that holds a special place in Chinese culture.
Dumplings are made of thin dough wrapped around a filling, usually consisting of meat and vegetables. They are often boiled or steamed and served with dipping sauce. Dumplings are not only delicious but also symbolize wealth and good fortune because their shape resembles ancient Chinese gold ingots.
In Chinese culture, dumplings are especially important during the Spring Festival. Families gather to make and eat dumplings together, which represents unity and happiness. This tradition has been passed down for generations, making dumplings a meaningful part of Chinese festivals.

67. 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。
The smell of roasted chicken filled the kitchen as we gathered for our usual Friday dinner. Having swallowed a big mouthful of chicken, I took a deep breath and began, “Could I invite some friends over tomorrow? Just for the afternoon?”
My parents exchanged a glance, then nodded readily. But beside me, my younger sister, Lily, froze. Her wide eyes locked onto mine. “But... what about Miracle? She’ll be terrified, Ethan.”
Miracle was a cat Lily rescued on a rainy day last winter. True to her name, the cat had survived. Yet, it remained a creature of profound shyness: Loud voices sent her trembling under beds; sudden movements made her jump. She wasn’t just a pet; she was a fragile soul Lily fiercely protected.
“I promise, Lily,” I insisted, leaning forward, meeting her worried gaze(凝视). “We’ll stay in the living room. No loud music, no shouting games. I’ll keep the back door shut tight, and I’ll warn everyone to be quiet. Miracle won’t even know they’re here.” I saw the conflict in her eyes — her desire to be supportive warring with her deep concern for the poor cat. After a tense silence, she finally gave a small, reluctant nod.
Saturday arrived with sunshine and laughter as my friends piled in. True to my word, I guided them straight to the living room, reminding them firmly about Miracle’s sensitivity.Initially, we chatted, played cards quietly. Glancing around, I spotted Miracle sliding silently down the hallway towards Lily’s room. Good, she’s keeping her distance, I thought, relieved.
As the afternoon wore on, however, the initial caution disappeared. A competitive board game led to enthusiastic cheers and laughter. Lost in the sheer fun of being with my friends, I forgot everything - he promise, the fragile creature.
After friends departed with cheerful goodbyes, I began tidying empty glasses, still lost in the happy scenes when Lily burst through the front door into her room. Then came her scream, “Ethan, Miracle is gone.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

A cold wave of fear rushed through me.

Luckily, we finally found Miracle in the backyard.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 A cold wave of fear rushed through me. I remembered opening the backdoor for some air. Miracle must have got scared out of the house then. My sister looked at me in disbelief. Tears welled in her eyes, spilling over. “You promised” The words weren’t shouted, but they cut deep. Shame burned my face. Without a word, I grabbed a flashlight and raced into the backyard, Lily closely behind, her calls for Miracle now desperate and choked with tears. We searched like crazy.
Luckily, we finally found Miracle in the backyard. There hidden under the thick bushes was Miracle. I dropped to my knees and scooped it up gently and placed it into Lily’s waiting hands. Once we went back home, I apologized sincerely, “I am so, so sorry.” I slowly reached out towards Lily, placing my hand gently over hers. “Can you forgive me?” Lily looked down at Miracle, then back at me, her eyes still wet but softening slightly. A fragile bridge of forgiveness began to form.
【解析】

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Which book you should read based on your next travel destination
Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan.
Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip.
Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America.
A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”.
Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot.
21. If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up?
A. The Fault in Our Stars. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude.
C. 1Q84. D. The Great Gatsby.
22. Which one of the followings is NOT true?
A. Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town.
B. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America.
C. “West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names.
D. The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
23. An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city.
According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city?
A. Tokyo. B. New York. C. Amsterdam. D. Sao Paulo.
B
I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas. Hours later, I completed my first short story. Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long. But also, since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write. Since then, I also felt less and less willing to share my work:what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else's? What started off as something creative that I could share with friends turned into competition changed by feelings of competence. Oftentimes, hobbies begin as something just for fun. But eventually, what was once fun now contributes to feelings of stress and inadequacy. I have plenty of memories of thinking I was going to pick up something new and stick with it, whether it be playing the piano, or drawing. But there is always a part of me that expects myself to just magically be good at all of those things. And when I’m not, the enjoyment tapers off as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore.
Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly. I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drop writing for months at a time. This feeling of a hobby becoming, for a lack of better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby.
But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation. We must accept that it is okay to just suck at an activity but still doing it because it brings you joy. There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves.
24. What does the author do in the first paragraph?
A. He challenges a tradition. B. He relates an experience.
C. He envisions a coming trend. D. He compares varied hobbies.
25. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “tapers off” in paragraph 1?
A. Thins out. B. Tops out. C. builds up. D. Spreads around.
26. Why does the author drop writing constantly?
A. He is inadequate for it. B. He prefers mediocrity.
C. He equates joy with achievement. D. He receives bitter comment.
27. What message does the passage convey?
A. Mediocrity is the key to enjoyment.
B. A hobby shared is a hobby squared.
C. Excellence ensures academic success.
D. Enjoyment outweighs excellence in hobbies.
C
The sharp fin (鳍). The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals (刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear.
One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey (猎物), seals or dolphins. They don’t seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.
Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain. Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone. Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles. Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks, will destroy these meadows. When tiger sharks are present though, the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth.
Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic. Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth. Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do.
28. What do most people think about sharks?
A. They are ugly. B. They are important.
C. They are violent. D. They are complicated.
29. What does the author try to show by comparing shark bites to lightning strikes?
A. Shark bites are deadly. B. Shark bites are rare.
C. Shark bites are unpredictable. D. Shark bites are painful.
30. Why should sharks be scared of humans according to the author?
A. Humans keep sharks to show off.
B. Humans catch sharks for medical research.
C. Humans kill sharks in large quantities.
D. Humans are greater in number than sharks.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ocean Life: Save Our Sharks! B. Sharks: Kings of Protectors?
C. Ocean Life: An Ecological Crisis! D. Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood?
D
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.
Professor Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the way in which other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future. He compared the potential problem of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55 million years ago.
Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat,” he writes.
Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added, “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly. That does raise the question: If temperatures do rise really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.”
However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Professor Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”
32. How do mammals cope with climate change according to Brusatte?
A. Moving to colder regions. B. Reducing their body size.
C. Losing their weight. D. Adapting their diet.
33. What does the underlined word “dissipation” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Exchange. B. Formation. C. Absorption. D. Emission.
34. What is Adrian Lister’s attitude towards the recent study?
A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Approving.
35. What is the best title of this text?
A. The Threat of Climate Change to Human Survival
B. The Impact of Climate Change on Mammal Body Sizes
C. The Evolutionary Trends in Mammal Body Sizes
D. The Adaptive Strategies of Mammals to Climate Change

Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. ___36___ If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude can significantly boost people’s happiness and well-being, allowing them to live a more fulfilling life. So how can we practice gratitude? Here are ways that will set you in the right direction.
Keep a gratitude journal. Keep it simple and each day write 1 — 3 things you are grateful for in the morning and in the evening. ___37___ A lot of people focus on what they don’t have, or complain all day, making themselves upset. But when you focus on the positive, no matter how small, you attract more of the positive.

Flash a smile. A lot of people don’t smile these days, and often you have to be the one that initiates (发起) it. Smiling at someone can not only make you feel good, but also make their day, too. ___39___ While you’re at it, give compliments (问候), too.
___40___ It’s easy to focus on the negative of the past or worry about the future. If you can live in the moment and take in everything as they happen, you’ll discover joys that are often overlooked.

67. 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。
The smell of roasted chicken filled the kitchen as we gathered for our usual Friday dinner. Having swallowed a big mouthful of chicken, I took a deep breath and began, “Could I invite some friends over tomorrow? Just for the afternoon?”
My parents exchanged a glance, then nodded readily. But beside me, my younger sister, Lily, froze. Her wide eyes locked onto mine. “But... what about Miracle? She’ll be terrified, Ethan.”
Miracle was a cat Lily rescued on a rainy day last winter. True to her name, the cat had survived. Yet, it remained a creature of profound shyness: Loud voices sent her trembling under beds; sudden movements made her jump. She wasn’t just a pet; she was a fragile soul Lily fiercely protected.
“I promise, Lily,” I insisted, leaning forward, meeting her worried gaze(凝视). “We’ll stay in the living room. No loud music, no shouting games. I’ll keep the back door shut tight, and I’ll warn everyone to be quiet. Miracle won’t even know they’re here.” I saw the conflict in her eyes — her desire to be supportive warring with her deep concern for the poor cat. After a tense silence, she finally gave a small, reluctant nod.
Saturday arrived with sunshine and laughter as my friends piled in. True to my word, I guided them straight to the living room, reminding them firmly about Miracle’s sensitivity.Initially, we chatted, played cards quietly. Glancing around, I spotted Miracle sliding silently down the hallway towards Lily’s room. Good, she’s keeping her distance, I thought, relieved.
As the afternoon wore on, however, the initial caution disappeared. A competitive board game led to enthusiastic cheers and laughter. Lost in the sheer fun of being with my friends, I forgot everything - he promise, the fragile creature.
After friends departed with cheerful goodbyes, I began tidying empty glasses, still lost in the happy scenes when Lily burst through the front door into her room. Then came her scream, “Ethan, Miracle is gone.”
