If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness. Car camping At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair, cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers. So there are lots of choices. The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder your quest of communing with nature. Backpacking No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors. Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet. Boat Camping While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi service to reach the overnight site, camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking. Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a secluded shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp places that not even backpackers can reach. 1. Who are the intended readers? A. Red-blooded males B. White-collar staff C. Blue-blooded tourists D. Green-hand campers 2. What can you learn from the passage? A. Backpacking allows you to communicate with nature deeply. B. Car camping is the most economic way to experience nature. C. The drive-up campgrounds provide people with private environment. D. Boat camping offers the same adventures as backpacking. 3. In which column will you find this passage? A. Feature B. Style C. Travel D. Entertainment 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了针对于露营新手的几种露营方式和建议。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.(这篇文章是写给露营新手的，这些人从年轻时就没有在星空下睡过觉，也没有搭过帐篷，但他们正在认真考虑在野外过夜)”可推知，这篇文章的目标读者应该是新手露营者。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Backpacking中“A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors.(多日徒步旅行无疑是体验户外美景的最身临其境的方式)”可知，背包旅行可以让你与自然进行深入的交流。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及标题“Camping tips: Which overnight wilderness experience is right for you?(露营小贴士：哪种过夜的野外体验适合你？)”和第一段“If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.(如果你是一个有经验的背包客，不要再往下读了。这篇文章是写给露营新手的，这些人从年轻时就没有在星空下睡过觉，也没有搭过帐篷，但他们正在认真考虑在野外过夜)”可知，文章主要讲的是针对于露营新手的几种露营方式和建议。由此推知，你可能在旅行板块一栏找到这篇文章。故选C项。 First, a sincere thank you to the neighbors who have reached out over the past few months. We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! Now, a quick update: we’ve taken our new year lights down. It wasn’t easy. Our lights had been up since December, nearly six months as part of our household. We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!!” We hoped these lights, bought on a sale, would inspire us and find their forever home. But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. We sought help, but Shiny Brite Light Installations wanted to charge us an arm and a leg. Luckily, we discovered we could simply remove it. We knew it would upset the color arrangements by having two red bulbs together, but it was the only option. Dealing with the messy wires was another tiring challenge. We asked ourselves, “What are we doing wrong?” I remembered falling into bed one night and saying to my husband, “Is it us?” His answer: “No. It’s those lights. We should take them back.” Returning them? Unthinkable. Mainly because I’d lost the receipt, or because what kind of people would return a used item? Actually, neither. The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. Eventually, we relaxed and enjoyed the days as time passed. As temperatures rise, colorful flowers are perfect decorations now, but what about the lights still playing new year songs when sensing every Amazon delivery truck? Not so much. Contrary to your whispers, we haven’t returned the lights. They’ve been rehomed in the basement, for now. Don’t worry. We remain committed to these lights. They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. 4. How do the writer’s neighbors find her new year lights? A. Artistic. B. Annoying. C. Traditional. D. Inspiring. 5. According to paragraph 3, which was a problem with the lights? A. A part posed a safety risk. B. Their colors were boring. C. A bulb flashed unpredictably. D. Their wires were exposed. 6. Why did the writer decide not to return the lights? A. She regarded it a tiring challenge. B. She lost the receipt for them. C. She considered it impolite. D. She grew attached to them. 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. This November will witness new lights delivered B. The basement will be the lights’ forever home. C. Lights are perfect symbols of season changes D. The writer still plans on putting the lights up. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以幽默诙谐的笔触讲述了作者一家与新年灯之间发生的趣事，展现了邻里互动以及作者一家对新年灯复杂的情感。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! (我们收到了你们许多人的纸条——甚至有一张纸条系在扔进我们窗户的石头上！)”和第二段“We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!! (我们被一些发自内心的担忧所感动，比如“你们要一直挂着灯吗？？!！！”)””可知，作者收到邻居们抱怨，甚至有的人用石头砸窗户，故推断邻居们对作者家的新年彩灯感到厌烦，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. (但也有一些问题：嘶嘶声、气味、蚊子，还有一个绿色的灯泡莫名其妙地开了又关)”可知，有个绿色的灯泡突然闪烁。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. (灯已经挂起来了，成了我们的一部分，就该一直挂着)” 可知，灯已经成为了作者和家人的一部分，体现作者对灯产生了感情，很依恋灯，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后两段，尤其最后一句“They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. (它们是我们家庭的一部分，即使它们不再出现——至少要到11月底)”可知，作者11月底还会挂起彩灯，故推断作者仍然打算把灯挂起来。故选D。 When it comes to navigating (导航) areas, past studies showed that the abilities don’t truly kick in until 12. However, a new study has revealed that children aged 5 can find their way around large spaces. The researchers involved with this study previously concentrated on three regions of the adult brain that help navigation: PPA, which lets us recognize places and assign them to different categories, RSC, which maps these places within a larger space and OPA, which keeps us from running into objects. In 2024, they found that the system associated with OPA doesn't fully develop until the age of 8. However, they theorized that younger children must still be able to create a map of their surroundings, even before they can walk well. The new study confirmed that RSC is already well-developed in children younger than 8. The results come from an interesting experiment involving five-year-old participants who became familiar with a virtual location called “Tiny Town” full of entertaining landmarks like ice cream stores, playgrounds and fire stations. “We want to get answers, but it’s also important that participants have a good time and a good impression of science,” said Yaelan Jung, first author of the study. Then the researchers conducted fMRI scans (磁共振扫描) on the children, during which they participated in a game-like task where they were shown images from Tiny Town and pressed a button if the images accurately related. Data from the scans proved that the children were able to create a map in their minds, using RSC in their brains to facilitate navigation in larger spaces. The next step, the researchers say, is to look into the brain development of toddlers (学步孩童) with cleverer strategies. “It’s stimulating to explore how humans use different parts of the brain for complex behaviors and how that changes with age and experiences,” Jung said in a press release. “We’re also laying the groundwork for clinical applications.” 8. According to the new study, why can five-year-olds navigate large areas? A. They can mentally map a large environment. B. Their OPA region has developed to the full. C. Their PPA region helps them avoid objects. D. They can walk well by recognizing places. 9. Why did the researchers design Tiny Town? A. To confirm the accuracy of fMRI scans. B. To improve kids’ scientific competence. C. To make the experiment engaging for kids. D. To adjust kids’ emotion before the experiment. 10. What are Yaelan Jung’s words in the last paragraph mainly about? A. Influence of research strategies. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Demand for a larger sample size. D. Solid evidence of the findings. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Brain Development: A Magic Solution B. Young Children: Natural Navigators at Age 5 C. Tiny Town: A Key to Unlocking Brain Secrets D. Three Regions: Core Parts for Mapping Places 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明5岁儿童已能在广阔空间导航，还提及研究团队此前对成人导航相关脑区的研究、此次实验过程及后续研究计划。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Data from the scans proved that the children were able to create a map in their minds, using RSC in their brains to facilitate navigation in larger spaces. (扫描数据显示，这些儿童能够在大脑中构建“小镇”的方位地图，并借助RSC脑区的功能，实现对广阔空间的导航。)”可知，5岁儿童能在广阔空间导航，是因为他们能够在大脑中构建环境地图，借助RSC脑区实现导航。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The results come from an interesting experiment involving five-year-old participants who became familiar with a virtual location called “Tiny Town” full of entertaining landmarks like ice cream stores, playgrounds and fire stations. “We want to get answers, but it’s also important that participants have a good time and a good impression of science,” said Yaelan Jung, first author of the study. (研究结论来源于一项趣味实验：研究人员让5岁受试者先熟悉一个名为“Tiny Town”的虚拟场景，场景中设有冰淇淋店、游乐场、消防站等充满趣味性的地标。该研究的第一作者Yaelan Jung表示：“我们希望通过实验找到答案，但同样重要的是，要让受试者在过程中感到快乐，并对科学留下良好印象。”)”可知，研究人员设计“Tiny Town”，是因为其包含有趣地标，能让儿童在实验中获得乐趣，让实验对孩子更有吸引力。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It’s stimulating to explore how humans use different parts of the brain for complex behaviors and how that changes with age and experiences,” Jung said in a press release. “We’re also laying the groundwork for clinical applications.” (Yaelan Jung在新闻发布会上称：“探索人类如何运用大脑不同区域完成复杂行为，以及这种能力如何随年龄增长和经验积累发生变化，是极具启发意义的课题。同时，我们的研究也在为相关临床应用奠定基础。”)”可知，Yaelan Jung的话既提及了未来值得探索的研究方向（人类如何利用大脑不同区域完成复杂行为及该能力的变化），也提到研究对临床应用的铺垫，核心围绕后续研究的可能方向展开。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“However, a new study has revealed that children aged 5 can find their way around larges paces. (然而，一项新研究却发现，5岁儿童已能在广阔空间中辨别方向、自主穿行。)”以及全文内容可知，全文围绕“一项新研究发现5岁儿童已能在广阔空间导航”展开，先对比以往“12岁才具备导航能力”的研究结论，再介绍实验过程、脑区作用及后续研究方向，核心主题是5岁儿童的导航能力。选项B“Young Children: Natural Navigators at Age 5 (五岁儿童：天生的导航者)”与此相符。故选B。 Australians are not, as they sometimes joke, the only people to eat their symbolic national animal. But the hunting of kangaroos causes debates Down Under. Many believe the kangaroos destroy grasslands and cause crashes by jumping in front of cars. Animal-rights types argue killing them is inhumane (不人道的), and that kangaroo meat is full of bacteria. But both sides are mad about a new film, which shows cruel killing and suggests that hunting is reducing the population. “We’ve learned how polarising the subject is in Australia,” Mick McIntyre, one of its makers, told a local paper. Annual surveys suggest that there are more than 47 million kangaroos bounding through the wild. Animals, like dingoes, which feed on them, are becoming rare, so when the grass they eat is sufficient, their numbers jump. State governments have long set “harvesting” quotas (定额) to keep the four most populous species in check. But some ecologists suggest that the hunting is damaging, and that the population estimates are over-optimistic. Those in favour of hunting point out that Australia earns $175m from it annually. And some scientists argue that kangaroos are a more sustainable source of protein than cows or sheep. Yet the industry is under pressure abroad. Heartwarming campaigns have turned shoemakers against kangaroo leather and weakened foreign appetite for the meat. Russia, once the biggest consumer of kangaroo meat, has issued a ban out of concern for food safety. In the eight years since it first did so, the value of Australia's kangaroo-meat exports has fallen sharply. As a result, professional hunters were paid less than before. And they killed 1.4 million kangaroos in 2016, a fifth of the permitted maximum. But a higher kangaroo population simply means that more will die in the next drought, says George Wilson of the Australian National University, Worse, he says, in Queensland, landholders have been accused of poisoning kangaroos and building fences to prevent them from reaching water. The back and forth is endless. 12. What does the underlined word “polarizing” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Abstract. B. Divided. C. Innovative. D. Amazing. 13. According to the text, what is a reason for kangaroo population increase? A. The ban on hunting quotas. B. Their diverse species. C. Their bounding abilities. D. The decline of natural enemies. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Why kangaroo development should be sustainable. B. How kangaroo goods market expands abroad. C. Why some people support kangaroo hunting. D. How exports of kangaroo products suffer. 15. How would George Wilson describe the situation kangaroos face? A. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. B. The survival of the fittest. C. While the cat is away, the mice will play. D. Let sleeping dogs lie. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要围绕袋鼠捕猎引发的多方分歧展开，呈现了支持与反对双方的观点、袋鼠数量现状及政府调控措施，还提及海外市场压力对该产业的影响，展现了这一争议的复杂性。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“But the hunting of kangaroos causes debates Down Under. Many believe the kangaroos destroy grasslands and cause crashes by jumping in front of cars. Animal-rights types argue killing them is inhumane (不人道的), and that kangaroo meat is full of bacteria. But both sides are mad about a new film, which shows cruel killing and suggests that hunting is reducing the population. (但在澳大利亚，袋鼠捕猎问题一直引发争议。许多人认为袋鼠会破坏草原，还会突然跳到车前引发交通事故。而动物权益保护者则反驳称，猎杀袋鼠不人道，且袋鼠肉含有大量细菌。然而，双方都对一部新纪录片感到愤怒 —— 该片不仅曝光了残忍的猎杀场景，还称捕猎行为正导致袋鼠数量减少。)”可知，澳大利亚人对袋鼠捕猎存在争议，支持方认为袋鼠破坏草原、引发事故，动物权益保护者则称猎杀不人道、袋鼠肉含细菌，而一部新片让双方都感到愤怒。由此可推测，划线单词的意思和“引起两极分化的、造成分歧”相似。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Animals, like dingoes, which feed on them, are becoming rare, so when the grass they eat is sufficient, their numbers jump. (以袋鼠为食的澳洲野犬等动物正日渐稀少，因此当袋鼠赖以生存的牧草充足时，其数量便会激增。)”可知，袋鼠数量增加的原因是其天敌（如澳洲野犬）数量减少。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Those in favour of hunting point out that Australia earns $175m from it annually. And some scientists argue that kangaroos are a more sustainable source of protein than cows or sheep. Yet the industry is under pressure abroad. Heartwarming campaigns have turned shoemakers against kangaroo leather and weakened foreign appetite for the meat. Russia, once the biggest consumer of kangaroo meat, has issued a ban out of concern for food safety. In the eight years since it first did so, the value of Australia's kangaroo-meat exports has fallen sharply. (支持捕猎的一方指出，袋鼠产业每年能为澳大利亚带来1.75亿澳元的收入。一些科学家也认为，相较于牛或羊，袋鼠是更具可持续性的蛋白质来源。不过，该产业在海外正面临压力。温馨感人的保护宣传活动已促使制鞋企业抵制袋鼠皮，同时也削弱了国外市场对袋鼠肉的需求。曾是袋鼠肉最大消费国的俄罗斯，出于食品安全担忧已颁布禁令。自首次禁售以来的八年间，澳大利亚袋鼠肉出口额大幅下滑。)”可知，第三段先提及支持捕猎袋鼠的理由（带来经济收益、袋鼠肉是更可持续的蛋白质来源），随后重点阐述袋鼠产业在海外面临的压力（制鞋企业抵制袋鼠皮、国外对袋鼠肉需求下降、俄罗斯颁布禁令导致出口额锐减）。核心围绕“袋鼠相关产品出口受挫的情况及原因”展开。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But a higher kangaroo population simply means that more will die in the next drought, says George Wilson of the Australian National University, Worse, he says, in Queensland, landholders have been accused of poisoning kangaroo sand building fences to prevent them from reaching water. The back and forth is endless. (但澳大利亚国立大学的George Wilson表示，袋鼠数量过多只会意味着，在下一次干旱来临时，会有更多袋鼠死于饥荒。更糟糕的是，他指出在昆士兰州，已有土地所有者被指控毒杀袋鼠，还修建围栏阻止袋鼠获取水源。关于袋鼠捕猎的争论，仍在无休止地反复上演。)”可知，George Wilson指出袋鼠虽因疫情期间捕猎减少而数量回升，但随着疫情后捕猎恢复，其生存压力再次增大 ——即袋鼠刚摆脱“疫情前捕猎”的困境，又面临“疫情后捕猎重启”的新威胁。选项A“Out of the frying pan, into the fire. (刚出虎穴，又入狼窝)”恰好贴合这种“刚摆脱一个困境，随即陷入另一个困境”的处境。故选A。 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的7个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While travelling alone can be an enlightening experience, it can be incredibly overwhelming to leave home and head into the big wide world with just you and your backpack. ____16____ But what kind of person should we anticipate? A person with opposite characteristics may increase the enjoyment of your trip’s duration. My best friend and I are far too alike. We love the same food, music and both love to travel. ____17____ We both hate making decisions and are poor with money. This is a recipe for disaster. My travel partner, on the other hand, is the total opposite of me. He loves to plan and budgets are his best friend. This is why we make such a great travel team. ____18____ You will make memories and share experiences that will last a lifetime. However, travelling the world together won’t be sun-kissed days and picture-perfect moments all the time. There will be flight delays, homesickness…even actual sickness. To resolve them quickly and fairly, you two need to be on the same wavelength. Put more simply, it’s important to find a travel buddy who communicates openly. Although I’ve enjoyed traveling with my partner for over a decade, I can admit that friendship fatigue (疲劳) is real. You will long for some alone time eventually as it is tiring spending 24/7 with another human, regardless of how much you love and respect him/ her. ____19____ Make sure you find a travel buddy who understands this. With a travel companion, not only will you save money but it is beneficial to share travel stories and have a familiar face as you travel into the unknown. ____20____ A travel buddy and personal photographer all in one! A. Love and respect go a long way. B. We are terrible travel companions, nevertheless. C. Also, who else will take those natural photos for you? D. A travel companion might make a world of difference. E. A significant key to travelling together is communication. F. That’s why we need to give it a second thought before travelling. G. Alone time is healthy and very much critical for your mental well-being. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了为了避免独自旅行时的不知所措，可以寻找一个旅伴一起旅行，集旅行伙伴和私人摄影师于一体。而与旅伴相处最重要的是真诚地沟通，当然还要尊重彼此的独处时间。 【16题详解】 由上文“While travelling alone can be an enlightening experience, it can be incredibly overwhelming to leave home and head into the big wide world with just you and your backpack. (虽然独自旅行可能是一种有启发性的体验，但只带着自己和背包离开家走进广阔的世界可能会让人不知所措。)”可知，此处指出独自旅行的挑战，结合下文“But what kind of person should we anticipate?(但是我们应该期待什么样的人呢？)”可推知空格处需引出旅行伙伴的重要性，D项“A travel companion might make a world of difference. (一个旅行伙伴可能会带来很大的不同。)”符合语境，通过对比独自旅行的压力，强调伙伴能改变旅行体验，引出下文对“理想旅伴”的讨论。故选D项。 【17题详解】 由上文“My best friend and I are far too alike. We love the same food, music and both love to travel. (我和我最好的朋友非常相似。我们喜欢同样的食物、音乐，都喜欢旅行。)”及下文“We both hate making decisions and are poor with money. This is a recipe for disaster. (我们都讨厌做决定，而且不擅长理财。这是灾难的根源。)”可知，尽管兴趣相投，但性格相似导致不适合一起旅行，B项“We are terrible travel companions, nevertheless. (然而，我们是糟糕的旅行伙伴。)”符合语境，nevertheless转折上文“相似点”，引出下文缺点，形成对比。故选B项。 【18题详解】 由下文“To resolve them quickly and fairly, you two need to be on the same wavelength. Put more simply, it’s important to find a travel buddy who communicates openly. (为了快速公平地解决这些问题，你们俩需要达成共识。更简单地说，找到一个能坦诚交流的旅行伙伴很重要。)”可知，此段强调沟通在旅行中的关键作用，E项“A significant key to travelling together is communication. (一起旅行的一个重要关键是沟通。)”符合语境，communication直接对应后文communicates openly，总领段落核心观点。故选E项。 【19题详解】 由上文“You will long for some alone time eventually as it is tiring spending 24/7 with another human, regardless of how much you love and respect him/her. (你最终会渴望一些独处的时间，因为不管你有多爱和尊重他/她，整天和另一个人在一起都很累。)”可知，此处讨论独处时间的必要性，G项“Alone time is healthy and very much critical for your mental well-being. (独处时间是健康的，对你的精神健康非常重要。)”符合语境，alone time复现上文关键词，进一步强调其对心理健康的重要性，引出“找理解这一点的旅伴”的建议。故选G项。 【20题详解】 由下文“A travel buddy and personal photographer all in one! (一个旅行伙伴同时也是私人摄影师！)”可知，此处列举旅伴的额外好处，C项“Also, who else will take those natural photos for you? (此外，还有谁会为你拍那些自然的照片呢？)”符合语境，also承接前文“省钱、分享故事”，通过反问引出“拍照” 这一具体益处，与后文personal photographer形成呼应。故选C项。 第二部分 语言知识及应用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 The economy was worsening.

If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness. Car camping At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair, cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers. So there are lots of choices. The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder your quest of communing with nature. Backpacking No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors. Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet. Boat Camping While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi service to reach the overnight site camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking. Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a secluded shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp places that not even backpackers can reach. 1. Who are the intended readers? A. Red-blooded males B. White-collar staff C. Blue-blooded tourists D. Green-hand campers 2. What can you learn from the passage? A. Backpacking allows you to communicate with nature deeply. B. Car camping is the most economic way to experience nature. C. The drive-up campgrounds provide people with private environment. D. Boat camping offers the same adventures as backpacking. 3 In which column will you find this passage? A. Feature B. Style C. Travel D. Entertainment First, a sincere thank you to the neighbors who have reached out over the past few months. We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! Now, a quick update: we’ve taken our new year lights down. It wasn’t easy. Our lights had been up since December, nearly six months as part of our household. We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!!” We hoped these lights, bought on a sale, would inspire us and find their forever home. But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. We sought help, but Shiny Brite Light Installations wanted to charge us an arm and a leg. Luckily, we discovered we could simply remove it. We knew it would upset the color arrangements by having two red bulbs together, but it was the only option. Dealing with the messy wires was another tiring challenge. We asked ourselves, “What are we doing wrong?” I remembered falling into bed one night and saying to my husband, “Is it us?” His answer: “No. It’s those lights. We should take them back.” Returning them? Unthinkable. Mainly because I’d lost the receipt, or because what kind of people would return a used item? Actually, neither. The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. Eventually, we relaxed and enjoyed the days as time passed. As temperatures rise, colorful flowers are perfect decorations now, but what about the lights still playing new year songs when sensing every Amazon delivery truck? Not so much. Contrary to your whispers, we haven’t returned the lights. They’ve been rehomed in the basement, for now. Don’t worry. We remain committed to these lights. They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. 4. How do the writer’s neighbors find her new year lights? A. Artistic. B. Annoying. C. Traditional. D. Inspiring. 5. According to paragraph 3, which was a problem with the lights? A. A part posed a safety risk. B. Their colors were boring. C. A bulb flashed unpredictably. D. Their wires were exposed. 6. Why did the writer decide not to return the lights? A. She regarded it a tiring challenge. B. She lost the receipt for them. C. She considered it impolite. D. She grew attached to them. 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. This November will witness new lights delivered B. The basement will be the lights’ forever home. C. Lights are perfect symbols of season changes D. The writer still plans on putting the lights up. When it comes to navigating (导航) areas, past studies showed that the abilities don’t truly kick in until 12. However, a new study has revealed that children aged 5 can find their way around large spaces. The researchers involved with this study previously concentrated on three regions of the adult brain that help navigation: PPA, which lets us recognize places and assign them to different categories, RSC, which maps these places within a larger space and OPA, which keeps us from running into objects. In 2024, they found that the system associated with OPA doesn't fully develop until the age of 8. However, they theorized that younger children must still be able to create a map of their surroundings, even before they can walk well. The new study confirmed that RSC is already well-developed in children younger than 8. The results come from an interesting experiment involving five-year-old participants who became familiar with a virtual location called “Tiny Town” full of entertaining landmarks like ice cream stores, playgrounds and fire stations. “We want to get answers, but it’s also important that participants have a good time and a good impression of science,” said Yaelan Jung, first author of the study. Then the researchers conducted fMRI scans (磁共振扫描) on the children, during which they participated in a game-like task where they were shown images from Tiny Town and pressed a button if the images accurately related. Data from the scans proved that the children were able to create a map in their minds, using RSC in their brains to facilitate navigation in larger spaces. The next step, the researchers say, is to look into the brain development of toddlers (学步孩童) with cleverer strategies. “It’s stimulating to explore how humans use different parts of the brain for complex behaviors and how that changes with age and experiences,” Jung said in a press release. “We’re also laying the groundwork for clinical applications.” 8. According to the new study, why can five-year-olds navigate large areas? A. They can mentally map a large environment. B. Their OPA region has developed to the full. C. Their PPA region helps them avoid objects. D. They can walk well by recognizing places. 9. Why did the researchers design Tiny Town? A. To confirm the accuracy of fMRI scans. B. To improve kids’ scientific competence. C. To make the experiment engaging for kids. D. To adjust kids’ emotion before the experiment. 10. What are Yaelan Jung’s words in the last paragraph mainly about? A. Influence of research strategies. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Demand for a larger sample size. D. Solid evidence of the findings. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Brain Development: A Magic Solution B. Young Children: Natural Navigators at Age 5 C. Tiny Town: A Key to Unlocking Brain Secrets D. Three Regions: Core Parts for Mapping Places Australians are not, as they sometimes joke, the only people to eat their symbolic national animal. But the hunting of kangaroos causes debates Down Under. Many believe the kangaroos destroy grasslands and cause crashes by jumping in front of cars. Animal-rights types argue killing them is inhumane (不人道的), and that kangaroo meat is full of bacteria. But both sides are mad about a new film, which shows cruel killing and suggests that hunting is reducing the population. “We’ve learned how polarising the subject is in Australia,” Mick McIntyre, one of its makers, told a local paper. Annual surveys suggest that there are more than 47 million kangaroos bounding through the wild. Animals, like dingoes, which feed on them, are becoming rare, so when the grass they eat is sufficient, their numbers jump. State governments have long set “harvesting” quotas (定额) to keep the four most populous species in check. But some ecologists suggest that the hunting is damaging, and that the population estimates are over-optimistic. Those in favour of hunting point out that Australia earns $175m from it annually. And some scientists argue that kangaroos are a more sustainable source of protein than cows or sheep. Yet the industry is under pressure abroad. Heartwarming campaigns have turned shoemakers against kangaroo leather and weakened foreign appetite for the meat. Russia, once the biggest consumer of kangaroo meat, has issued a ban out of concern for food safety. In the eight years since it first did so, the value of Australia's kangaroo-meat exports has fallen sharply. As a result, professional hunters were paid less than before. And they killed 1.4 million kangaroos in 2016, a fifth of the permitted maximum. But a higher kangaroo population simply means that more will die in the next drought, says George Wilson of the Australian National University, Worse, he says, in Queensland, landholders have been accused of poisoning kangaroos and building fences to prevent them from reaching water. The back and forth is endless. 12. What does the underlined word “polarizing” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Abstract. B. Divided. C. Innovative. D. Amazing. 13. According to the text, what is a reason for kangaroo population increase? A. The ban on hunting quotas. B. Their diverse species. C. Their bounding abilities. D. The decline of natural enemies. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Why kangaroo development should be sustainable. B. How kangaroo goods market expands abroad. C. Why some people support kangaroo hunting. D. How exports of kangaroo products suffer. 15. How would George Wilson describe the situation kangaroos face? A. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. B. The survival of the fittest. C. While the cat is away, the mice will play. D. Let sleeping dogs lie. 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的7个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While travelling alone can be an enlightening experience, it can be incredibly overwhelming to leave home and head into the big wide world with just you and your backpack. ____16____ But what kind of person should we anticipate?
