One summer day, my husband and I boarded the boat to Flatey Island, eager to catch a glimpse of these charming creatures. As soon as the boat left the harbor, the rain started pouring. The wind picked up, and the boat began to jump. I was beginning to feel seasick. By the time we reached the island, my fingers were blue. The boat wouldn’t go back for four hours. We huddled under the shelter of a warehouse, wondering what to do. Then a woman wearing mittens (手套) came close to us. “You look cold,” she said. “Would you like to come to our house for lunch?” It was a small yellow house at the edge of the village. It was full of people, young and old. They made room for us at the table. We ate and drank a lot, and they told us all about the puffins and the other birds on the island. It was almost time for the boat to leave, our new friend Sigrid walked in the rain with us to the puffins’ cliffs. We sat still on the wet rocks, watching the birds fly right toward us, cocking their heads as if wondering what we were doing on their island. They made us laugh. When the boat whistle blew, Sigrid took my hand to say good-bye. “Your hands are so cold!” Slipping her mittens off, she handed them to me. “You need to have mittens for the boat ride,” she said. It’s been seventeen years, and I still have Sigrid’s mittens. They’re not fancy and bright like the puffin’s beak. But as much as I liked those funny little birds, it’s the mittens I think of when I remembered the island. I’ve spent years trying to be as kind to someone else as Sigrid was to me that day. 4. What was unexpected for the couple at first? A. Remote living place of the puffins. B. The peaceful boat ride. C. Delay in getting on board. D. The cold rainy weather. 5. What does the underlined word “huddled” mean in paragraph 3? A. Walked. B. Crowded. C. Chatted. D. Relaxed. 6. Which word can best describe the couple’s trip on Flatey Island? A. Disappointing. B. Struggling. C. Exciting. D. Heart-warming. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Puffins and Mittens B. A Close Puffin Watching C. A Magical Trip to Flatey Island D. Surviving a Day with Sigrid 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫在一个夏日里前往Flatey岛观赏海鹦（一种可爱的鸟类）的经历。在遭遇恶劣天气和身体不适的情况下，他们遇到了一位善良的女子Sigrid对其进行帮助。这些经历让作者深深感受到了人与人之间的温暖和善意。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As soon as the boat left the harbor, the rain started pouring. The wind picked up, and the boat began to jump. I was beginning to feel seasick.(船一离开港口，就下起了倾盆大雨。风起了，船开始颠簸。我开始觉得晕船了。)”可知，当船离开港口时，突然下起了大雨，风也大了起来，船开始颠簸，作者开始感到晕船。这表明最初这对夫妇没有预料到会遇到如此寒冷的雨天。故选D。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中划线词前面的句子“By the time we reached the island, my fingers were blue. The boat wouldn’t go back for four hours.(当我们到达小岛时，我的手指都发青了。这艘船要四个小时才能返航。)”以及后文“Then a woman wearing mittens(手套) came close to us. “You look cold,” she said. (然后一个戴着手套的女人走近我们。“你看起来很冷，”她说。)”可知，当作者和丈夫到达岛屿时，手指都冻青了，船还需要四个小时后才会返回。因此，他们在仓库的庇护下挤成一团（缩在一起抵御寒冷），想知道接下来该做什么。故划线词与B选项“Crowded.(拥挤的)”为同义词。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When the boat whistle blew, Sigrid took my hand to say good-bye. “Your hands are so cold!” Slipping her mittens off, she handed them to me. “You need to have mittens for the boat ride,” she said.( 船鸣笛时，Sigrid拉着我的手说再见。“你的手好冷啊!”她脱下手套，递给我。“乘船时你需要戴上连指手套，”她说。)”以及最后一段中“It’s been seventeen years, and I still have Sigrid’s mittens. They’re not fancy and bright like the puffin’s beak. But as much as I liked those funny little birds, it’s the mittens I think of when I remembered the island. I’ve spent years trying to be as kind to someone else as Sigrid was to me that day.( 十七年过去了，我还留着Sigrid的连指手套。它们不像海雀的嘴那样华丽明亮。尽管我很喜欢那些有趣的小鸟，但当我想起那个岛时，我想到的却是那副连指手套。多年来，我一直努力像西格丽德那天对我那样善待别人。)”可知，尽管这对夫妇最初遇到了不利的天气条件和困难，但他们遇到了善良的Sigrid，她的热情和善良给他们的旅程带来了温暖。特别是她把手套送给作者以抵御船上的寒冷，这一行为让作者印象深刻，并让她在之后的岁月里努力向别人展现同样的善良。因此，这次旅行可以被描述为“暖心的”。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫在前往Flatey岛观看海鹦的过程中遇到了一位善良的女子Sigrid，并讲述了她把手套送给作者以抵御船上的寒冷的温暖故事，这一温暖的行为让作者印象深刻，并让她在之后的岁月里努力向别人展现同样的善良。因此，选项A“Puffins and Mittens(海鹦和手套)”既包含了文章的主题元素——海鹦，也反映了文章的核心情感——手套所代表的善良和温暖，因此是最佳标题。故选A。 C In addition to applying for a traditional guide dog, the visually impaired (有视觉障碍的) people will soon have another option to help with their daily life — a robot guide dog. About the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, the six-legged robot guide dog from Shanghai Jiao Tong University's School of Mechanical Engineering can navigate (导航) users to destinations without running into barriers. It also has voice interaction functions and can recognize traffic light signals. With cameras, sensors, and AI technology, the robot dog can see, listen, and speak with users on daily journeys outside and be a companion at home. Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at SJTU, points out that with six legs, the robot guide dog can walk smoothly with high stability. “Even if three legs are raised, the structure still has three points of contact with the ground, creating a very stable base.” Gao said. He adds that operators can use a cane (手杖) to control the walking and running speed of the robot. In China, there are currently about 17.31 million visually impaired people, yet only around 400 guide dogs are available due to high training costs. People have to wait for a long time after applying for one. Unlike traditional dogs, the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It's a bit like cars. We can mass-produce them in the same way as cars so that it will become more affordable,” Gao said. “This could be a huge market because tens of millions of people might need guide dogs.” Li Fei, among the visually impaired people participating in the field test, believes such high technology will likely change their lives soon. “The research teams are thoughtful and are continuously making improvements,” Li said. “The robot dog is electronic, making it easier to get into public places than traditional guide dogs, I will probably try the robot guide dog when it becomes available. They can be precise and reliable as they seldom make subjective mistakes.” 8. What do we know about the robot guide dog? A. It is smaller than an English Bulldog. B. It can identify traffic light signals. C. It relies on Al technologies to move. D. It can interact with other robot guide dogs. 9. Why does the robot guide dog have six legs? A. To walk more stably. B. To support heavier loads. C. To better control its speed. D. To quickly deal with urgency. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The potential market for robot guide dogs. B. The high cost of training traditional guide dogs. C. The difficulty of applying for a robot guide dog. D. The standard of mass-producing robot guide dogs. 11. What can we infer about the robot guide dog according to Li Fei? A. It has been widely available to the public. B. It needs further improvement in accuracy. C. It will benefit visually impaired people a lot. D. It will replace traditional guide dogs in the future. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了机器狗——机器人导盲犬可能很快就会改变视障人士的生活。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It also has voice interaction functions and can recognize traffic light signals. (它还具有语音交互功能，可以识别交通灯信号。)”可知，机器人导盲犬能识别交通信号灯，B项正确；它约英国斗牛犬大小但稍宽，A项错误；它是通过相机、传感器和AI技术综合来移动等，不是仅依靠AI技术移动，C项错误；未提及能与其他机器人导盲犬互动，D项错误。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at SJTU, points out that with six legs , the robot guide dog can walk smoothly with high stability. ‘Even if three legs are raised, the structure still has three points of contact with the ground, creating a very stable base.’ (上海交通大学研究团队负责人Gao Feng教授指出，机器人导盲犬有六条腿，行走平稳，稳定性高。Gao说：‘即使三条腿被举起来，这个结构仍然有三个与地面接触的点，创造了一个非常稳定的基础。’)”可知，机器人导盲犬有六条腿是为了更稳定地行走，A项正确，不是为了支撑更重负载、更好控制速度或快速处理紧急情况，B、C、D项错误。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容，尤其是“This could be a huge market because tens of millions of people might need guide dogs. (这可能是一个巨大的市场，因为数以千万计的人可能需要导盲犬。)”可知，本段主要讲在中国有大量视障人士可能需要机器人导盲犬，它可像汽车一样量产降低成本，有市场前景，所以是关于机器人导盲犬的潜在市场，A项正确；不是讲传统导盲犬训练成本高（第二段已提及）、申请机器人导盲犬困难或机器人导盲犬量产标准，B、C、D项错误。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Li Fei的话“‘The research teams are thoughtful and are continuously making improvements,’ Li said. ‘The robot dog is electronic, making it easier to get into public places than traditional guide dogs, I will probably try the robot guide dog when it becomes available. They can be precise and reliable as they seldom make subjective mistakes.’ (‘研究团队考虑周到，并在不断改进。’Li说。‘机器狗是电子的，比传统的导盲犬更容易进入公共场所。当机器狗上市时，我可能会尝试一下。因为他们很少犯主观错误，所以他们可以精确可靠。’)”可知，机器人导盲犬可能很快改变视障人士生活，会使他们受益很多，C项正确；它还未广泛可用，A项错误；未提及需要进一步提高准确性，B项错误；只是说可能会使用它，未说会取代传统导盲犬，D项错误。故选C。 D Today, poetry and science are often considered to be completely separate career paths. However, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. Similarly, the poet John Keats was also a licensed surgeon. The combination of these disciplines fell out of favor in the 1800s. Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki, participated in one of Illingworth’s workshops where she and fellow scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a common theme in their research. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do harm ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 12. What trend has been observed recently among scientists? A. A decline in interest in poetry and science. B. A preference for traditional research methods. C. An increase in combining science and poetry. D. A focus on historical figures like Ada Lovelace. 13. How does Sam Illingworth bridge the gap between science and the public? A. By translating classic poetry into different languages. B. By teaching at the University of Western Australia. C. By advocating for more funding in geoscience research. D. By organizing workshops and publishing a science-poetry journal. 14. How did Stephany Mazon feel about the experience of writing a haiku in the workshop? A. It was challenging and difficult. B. It was enjoyable and straightforward. C. It was a waste of time. D. It was too artistic for her taste. 15. What is one advantage of using poetry for science communication? A. It simplifies complex scientific ideas for a general audience. B. It promotes academic research in universities. C. It replaces traditional boring science textbooks. D It emphasizes the significance of public lectures. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最近，科学家们又重新对通过诗歌来表达他们的研究产生了兴趣，用诗歌将复杂的科学概念简化为人人都能理解的语言。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.(然而，最近，科学家们又重新对通过诗歌(如抒情诗和俳句)来表达他们的研究产生了兴趣，作为用他们的发现激励他人的另一种方式。)”可知，最近，科学与诗歌结合的现象增加了。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience , Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.(通过研讨会和一本名为consilience的新科学诗歌杂志，伊林沃思正在帮助科学家将他们的最新成果转化为诗歌，以吸引其直接科学领域以外的人的欣赏。)”可知，通过组织研讨会和出版科学诗歌杂志，Illingworth弥合了科学与公众之间的鸿沟的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“‘It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,’ Mazon says.(‘这很有趣，而且写这首诗出奇地容易，’Mazon说。)”可知，Stephany Mazon认为在工作坊写俳句有趣、简单。故填B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand.(科学家诗人、伦敦帝国理工学院的教育家Manjula Silva对此表示赞同，他指出诗歌将复杂的科学概念简化为人人都能理解的语言。)”可知，用诗歌进行科学传播的一个优势是它为普通读者简化了复杂的科学思想。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why we still need to read Dickens Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today.___16___ As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. ___17___ One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. ___18___ “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teacher you how to think,” I said. The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences. ___19___ But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years. Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. ___20___ If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself. A. Then a hand shot up. B. I know that wasn’t really the reason. C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves. D. That question was never more troubling. E. That’s why we still need to read him today. F. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels. G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文对为什么我们今天依然要阅读狄更斯著作的原因进行了分析。 【16题详解】 根据上文Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today. 可知，走进任何一家书店，你都难免会“偶遇”查尔斯•狄更斯(Charles Dickens)。狄更斯的许多作品至今仍很畅销。选项承接上文。故C选项“它们被放在很显眼的书架上”切题。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据前文As someone who teaches Dickens， the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 可知，作为一个教授狄更斯文学作品的人来说，我一直在想，为什么我们还要读他的作品。选项承接上文。故D选项“这个问题再麻烦不过了”切题。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据下文“But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked.可知，但我们为什么还要读这些东西呢?学生问。所以选项表示有一个学生举手提问。故 A选项“有一个学生举手提问。”切题。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences. 可知，我们读狄更斯，因为他不仅是他自己时代的人，也是我们时代的人。我们读狄更斯是因为我们可以从他笔下人物的经历中学习，就像我们可以从自己的经历中学习一样容易。所以选项对上文总结。故G选项“这些是阅读狄更斯著作的极好的原因。”切题。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and wrote of times. 可知，狄更斯揭示了我们在最美好的时代里是什么样的人。所以选项是对上文的总结。故E选项“那就是为什么我们今天依然要阅读狄更斯著作的原因。”切题。选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was shocked when my socially awkward sister, who had suffered from Asperger Syndrome (阿斯伯格综合症), decided to sing in front of the school.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Go 【解析】 【详解】考查祈使句。句意：往前走，你就会看到的。空格处是祈使句，用动词原形，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Go。 50. ________ (turn) left, he saw a bicycle there. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】Turning 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他向左拐，看到那里有一辆自行车。本句谓语为saw，此处为非谓语动词；he与turn“转向，拐弯”之间为主动关系，应用现在分词，作状语，句首单词，首字母大写。故填Turning。 51.

One summer day, my husband and I boarded the boat to Flatey Island, eager to catch a glimpse of these charming creatures. As soon as the boat left the harbor, the rain started pouring. The wind picked up, and the boat began to jump. I was beginning to feel seasick. By the time we reached the island, my fingers were blue. The boat wouldn’t go back for four hours. We huddled under the shelter of a warehouse, wondering what to do. Then a woman wearing mittens (手套) came close to us. “You look cold,” she said. “Would you like to come to our house for lunch?” It was a small yellow house at the edge of the village. It was full of people, young and old. They made room for us at the table. We ate and drank a lot, and they told us all about the puffins and the other birds on the island. It was almost time for the boat to leave, our new friend Sigrid walked in the rain with us to the puffins’ cliffs. We sat still on the wet rocks, watching the birds fly right toward us, cocking their heads as if wondering what we were doing on their island. They made us laugh. When the boat whistle blew, Sigrid took my hand to say good-bye. “Your hands are so cold!” Slipping her mittens off, she handed them to me. “You need to have mittens for the boat ride,” she said. It’s been seventeen years, and I still have Sigrid’s mittens. They’re not fancy and bright like the puffin’s beak. But as much as I liked those funny little birds, it’s the mittens I think of when I remembered the island. I’ve spent years trying to be as kind to someone else as Sigrid was to me that day. 4. What was unexpected for the couple at first? A. Remote living place of the puffins. B. The peaceful boat ride. C. Delay in getting on board. D. The cold rainy weather. 5. What does the underlined word “huddled” mean in paragraph 3? A. Walked. B. Crowded. C. Chatted. D. Relaxed. 6 Which word can best describe the couple’s trip on Flatey Island? A. Disappointing. B. Struggling. C. Exciting. D. Heart-warming. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Puffins and Mittens B. A Close Puffin Watching C. A Magical Trip to Flatey Island D. Surviving a Day with Sigrid C In addition to applying for a traditional guide dog, the visually impaired (有视觉障碍的) people will soon have another option to help with their daily life — a robot guide dog. About the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, the six-legged robot guide dog from Shanghai Jiao Tong University's School of Mechanical Engineering can navigate (导航) users to destinations without running into barriers. It also has voice interaction functions and can recognize traffic light signals. With cameras, sensors, and AI technology, the robot dog can see, listen, and speak with users on daily journeys outside and be a companion at home. Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at SJTU, points out that with six legs, the robot guide dog can walk smoothly with high stability. “Even if three legs are raised, the structure still has three points of contact with the ground, creating a very stable base.” Gao said. He adds that operators can use a cane (手杖) to control the walking and running speed of the robot. In China, there are currently about 17.31 million visually impaired people, yet only around 400 guide dogs are available due to high training costs. People have to wait for a long time after applying for one. Unlike traditional dogs, the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It's a bit like cars. We can mass-produce them in the same way as cars so that it will become more affordable,” Gao said. “This could be a huge market because tens of millions of people might need guide dogs.” Li Fei, among the visually impaired people participating in the field test, believes such high technology will likely change their lives soon. “The research teams are thoughtful and are continuously making improvements,” Li said. “The robot dog is electronic, making it easier to get into public places than traditional guide dogs, I will probably try the robot guide dog when it becomes available. They can be precise and reliable as they seldom make subjective mistakes.” 8. What do we know about the robot guide dog? A. It is smaller than an English Bulldog. B. It can identify traffic light signals. C. It relies on Al technologies to move. D. It can interact with other robot guide dogs. 9. Why does the robot guide dog have six legs? A. To walk more stably. B. To support heavier loads. C. To better control its speed. D. To quickly deal with urgency. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The potential market for robot guide dogs. B. The high cost of training traditional guide dogs. C. The difficulty of applying for a robot guide dog. D. The standard of mass-producing robot guide dogs. 11. What can we infer about the robot guide dog according to Li Fei? A. It has been widely available to the public. B. It needs further improvement in accuracy. C. It will benefit visually impaired people a lot. D. It will replace traditional guide dogs in the future. D Today, poetry and science are often considered to be completely separate career paths. However, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. Similarly, the poet John Keats was also a licensed surgeon. The combination of these disciplines fell out of favor in the 1800s. Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki, participated in one of Illingworth’s workshops where she and fellow scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a common theme in their research. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do harm ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 12. What trend has been observed recently among scientists? A. A decline in interest in poetry and science. B. A preference for traditional research methods. C. An increase in combining science and poetry. D. A focus on historical figures like Ada Lovelace. 13. How does Sam Illingworth bridge the gap between science and the public? A. By translating classic poetry into different languages. B. By teaching at the University of Western Australia. C. By advocating for more funding in geoscience research. D. By organizing workshops and publishing a science-poetry journal. 14. How did Stephany Mazon feel about the experience of writing a haiku in the workshop? A. It was challenging and difficult. B. It was enjoyable and straightforward. C. It was a waste of time. D. It was too artistic for her taste. 15. What is one advantage of using poetry for science communication? A. It simplifies complex scientific ideas for a general audience. B. It promotes academic research in universities. C. It replaces traditional boring science textbooks. D. It emphasizes the significance of public lectures. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why we still need to read Dickens Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today.___16___ As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. ___17___ One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. ___18___ “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teacher you how to think,” I said. The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences. ___19___ But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years. Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. ___20___ If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself. A. Then a hand shot up. B. I know that wasn’t really the reason. C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves. D. That question was never more troubling. E. That’s why we still need to read him today. F. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels. G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was shocked when my socially awkward sister, who had suffered from Asperger Syndrome (阿斯伯格综合症), decided to sing in front of the school.
