When I got out of my car to check the engine, I accidentally locked myself out of my car! I was very nervous and scared, given that the road was so dark and quiet. The only thing I could do was sit by the road and hope someone would come by and help me. Luckily, a man drove by after about 20 minutes. He stopped and asked if he could lend a hand. He let me use his cell phone to call the rescue service. He even waited with me, keeping me company until the truck for rescue service arrived. What a wonderful, helpful man! Before he left, I offered to pay him for helping me, but he refused. He said it was his pleasure to help out a lady in trouble. All I could do was thank him over and over again. If it had not been for him, I could have been in real trouble. I asked him for his number and promised to meet him and have dinner sometime. I got very lucky that night, thanks to the stranger.

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2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often-overlooked beauty.
Loew’s Palace Theatre
Originally opened as the Poli’s Palace Theatre in 1922 by architect Thomas W. Lamb, it was one of a double theatre complex along with the neighbouring Poli’s Majestic Theatre. In 1934, both theatres were taken over by Loew’s and operated as film theatres. In the late 1970s, an attempt to turn the building into a Christian Revival Centre never succeeded. The theatre is presently vacant and awaiting restoration.
Metropolitan Opera House
Originally founded as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908, it was designed by local architect William H. McElfatrick, who was in charge of the design of 40 theatres in his career. The Philadelphia Opera House was designed for opera manager Oscar Hammerstein as his sixth opera house. In 1910, it was sold to the Metropolitan Opera of New York City and was renamed the Met. Through the 1920s, it showed silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the late 1930s, it became a ballroom, and in the 1940s a sports area for basketball, wrestling, and boxing events. It finally closed in 1954 and was turned into a church.
Robin’s Theatre
Opened in 1923, it had 1,500 seats, and was designed by architects I. J. Goldston and Detroit-based C. Howard Crane. It was operated by The Robins Theatre Enterprises Co., a local company founded by Daniel Robins, who was an early partner of Albert Warner of Warner Bros. It closed in 1974 and was vacant until 2018, when it was renovated and reopened as a multipurpose venue in 2020.
21. What do Loew’s Palace Theatre and Metropolitan Opera House have in common?
A. Both of them were renamed. B. Both of them used to show silent films.
C. Both of them have been restored. D. Both of them served religious purposes.
22. At present, where are you likely to go for a concert?
A. Loew’s Palace Theatre. B. Christian Revival Centre.
C. Robin’s Theatre. D. Metropolitan Opera House.
23. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To rank the old and unnoticed theatres.
B. To encourage people to protect the old theatres.
C. To show the development of American theatres.
D. To provide information on overlooked old theatres.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三座常被忽视但具有历史意义的老影院及其相关信息。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Loew’s Palace Theatre部分中“Originally opened as the Poli’s Palace Theatre in 1922…In 1934, both theatres were taken over by Loew’s and operated as film theatres.(最初于1922年作为Poli’s Palace Theatre开业……1934年,这两家剧院被Loew接管,作为电影剧院运营)”及标题“Loew’s Palace Theatre”可知,Poli’s Palace Theatre更名为Loew’s Palace Theatre,Metropolitan Opera House部分中“Originally founded as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908…In 1910, it was sold to the Metropolitan Opera of New York City and was renamed the Met.(最初于1908年作为Philadelphia Opera House成立……1910年,它被卖给纽约Metropolitan Opera,并更名为Met)”可知,Loew’s Palace Theatre和Metropolitan Opera House的共同点是它们都被重新命名了。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Robin’s Theatre部分中“It closed in 1974 and was vacant until 2018, when it was renovated and reopened as a multipurpose venue in 2020.(它于1974年关闭,直到2018年一直空置,2018年进行了翻新,并于2020年重新开放为一个多功能场所)”可知,目前Robin’s Theatre是一个多功能场所,因此可以推测出,目前可能去Robin’s Theatre听音乐会。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often-overlooked beauty.(古老而有历史意义的电影院就在我们身边,但却常常被忽视。一本新的摄影集揭示了它们常常被忽视的美丽)”可知,本文主要介绍了三座常被忽视但具有历史意义的老影院及其相关信息,因此这篇文章的写作目的是提供关于被忽视的老影院的信息。故选D。
B
John Nelson, 92, grew up in Michigan and volunteered for the army in 1945. The 18-year-old managed to get accepted despite being colorblind. He landed on the island of Iwo Jima on the first day of the American attack to take the island from the Japanese. Nelson fought day and night for ten days before receiving a serious wound to his right arm. The other seven men in his squadron (中队) all died. American losses included 5900 dead and 17,400 wounded.
Nelson saw the American flag being raised on Mount Suribachi after the island was taken by the American forces. The arm would continue to trouble him for the rest of his life. Suffering from anxiety and flashbacks, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).
Al Elders was a Grandville farm boy. He joined the Navy and was stationed in Guam when the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, ended the war with Japan.
War often develops lasting friendships. But for the two World War II veterans (老兵) living at Sunset Manor in Jenison, their friendship didn’t begin until about a year and a half ago. One day, Elders noticed a man sitting at a cafeteria in Sunset Village, and that was Nelson. Seeing his Marine cap, Elders thought they would have something to talk about. And they did. The war in the Pacific is a common bond.
The two men later worked together to serve other residents at Sunset Manor. Nelson began detailing cars during good weather and cleaning streets in the winter. Elders became his advertising manager. They donated most of their income to the Wounded Warrior Project. Nelson is less mobile now and is in care at Sunset. Elders continues to visit and encourage his friend. A friend of Elders’ who traveled to Iwo Jima brought back a jar filled with sand from the rocky island. Elders sent the gift and his own wartime collections to the Seabee Museum and Memorial Park.
24. What can we know about John Nelson?
A. He volunteered for the army after graduation.
B. He witnessed his hometown ruined by the war.
C. He joined the army through strict tests and training.
D. He was physically and mentally injured in the war.
25. Why did Nelson and Elders develop a friendship?
A. They both felt sad and lonely.
B. They lived in the same place.
C. They shared a common war experience.
D. They had helped each other during the war.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. The two friends started a successful business
B. The two friends were devoted to contributing to society
C. The two friends visited Iwo Jima together after the war
D. The two friends inspired young people to join the army
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The influence of war on people’s life.
B. The importance of peace for ordinary people.
C. Two soldiers’ touching friendship during wartime.
D. Two old soldiers’ life experiences and friendship.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了两位二战老兵因为共同的战争经历而结下了深厚的友谊,虽然年事已高,仍然致力于服务社会。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The arm would continue to trouble him for the rest of his life. Suffering from anxiety and flashbacks, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder .(这只手臂在他的余生中一直困扰着他。由于饱受焦虑和闪回记忆的折磨,他被诊断出患有创伤后应激障碍)”可知,Nelson在战争中身心都收到了创伤。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The war in the Pacific is a common bond. (太平洋战争是一个共同的纽带)”可知,两人结下友谊是因为都参加过太平洋战争,有共同的战争经历。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The two men later worked together to serve other residents at Sunset Manor. Nelson began detailing cars during good weather and cleaning streets in the winter. Elders became his advertising manager. They donated most of their income to the Wounded Warrior Project. (这两个人后来一起为日落庄园的其他居民服务。Nelson在天气好的时候开始为汽车做精洗美容,冬天则清扫街道。Elders成为了他的广告经理。他们将大部分收入捐给了受伤战士项)”可知,两人致力于为社会做贡献。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第四段中“War often develops lasting friendships. But for the two World War II veterans ( 老兵 ) living at Sunset Manor in Jenison, their friendship didn’t begin until about a year and a half ago.(战争往往能培养出持久的友谊。但对于住在杰尼森日落庄园的两位二战老兵来说,他们的友谊直到一年半前才开始)”和第五段中“The two men later worked together to serve other residents at Sunset Manor. Nelson began detailing cars during good weather and cleaning streets in the winter. Elders became his advertising manager. They donated most of their income to the Wounded Warrior Project. (这两个人后来一起为日落庄园的其他居民服务。Nelson在天气好的时候开始为汽车做精洗美容,冬天则清扫街道。Elders成为了他的广告经理。他们将大部分收入捐给了受伤战士项)”可知,本文主要讲述了两位老兵经历战争,成为好朋友并共同奉献社会的一系列人生经历。故选D项。
C
The world produces around 359 million tons of plastics each year. Plastics are certainly a big problem, but they don’t necessarily have to be. There are many ways we could set plastics on a different lifecycle. One that I have been working on is turning plastics into a hardy, reliable and sustainable building material.
Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. This is unsurprising. The proportion(比例)of plastics that are recycled is minimal. But all polymers(聚合物)are, technologically, recyclable. Some of them can be used again and again to produce the same goods. Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications.
The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing. What if this plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society? Many universities and business people are attempting to do this. Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones. For example, several groups have developed building materials made of plastic waste. Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight and recyclable—all key properties for construction materials. So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations? Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale.
I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment. From agricultural waste to concrete waste, mixed with recycled plastics, there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings. So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem. They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.
28. What’s people’s common belief about plastic recycling?
A. Almost all plastic waste can be reused. B. The methods are quite limited.
C. Not many kinds of plastics are recyclable. D. The amount is unbelievably large.
29. What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A. Plastic waste is on the decline globally.
B. Recycling plastics doesn’t make money now.
C. Plastic buildings have been largely constructed.
D. New applications of plastics haven’t been found.
30. Why can plastics make good building materials?
A. They can resist water and won’t last long.
B. They can be reproduced in large quantity.
C. They satisfy the needs of low-income people.
D. They meet most demands of building materials.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to plastic recycling?
A. Positive. B. Anxious.
C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种塑料回收利用的新方法——将废弃塑料制造成理想的建筑材料。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. (大多数人认为塑料的回收利用受到严重限制:只有少数几种塑料可以回收利用)”可知,人们普遍认为可以被回收利用的塑料种类不多。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. (问题是,目前回收利用这些塑料废物的大部分是无利可图的)”可知,目前塑料回收是挣不了钱的。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight and recyclable—all key properties for construction materials. So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations?(塑料具有坚固、耐用、防水、轻质和可回收的所有关键特性,是建筑材料的关键。那么,如果所有这些塑料垃圾都能变成低收入人群的建筑材料呢?)”可知,塑料可以制成好的建筑材料是因为它满足了建筑材料的大多数要求——坚固、耐用、防水、质轻等。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.(它们可以成为通往更可持续生活方式的途径的一部分)”推知,作者对塑料回收持积极的态度。故选A。
D
The needs of plus-size consumers have long been the elephant in the room of the fashion industry until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. This size-inclusive(尺码包容)trend has become so popular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashion brands have finally decided to extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in both North America and the UK.
Yet, many consumers say fashion brands broadening their ranges are not truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based plus-size girl. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.”
Researchers also note that some brands are just taking advantage of the trend. “Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people,” says Tom Burgess, analyst in fashion industry. “If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn’t have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.”
The fashion industry must go beyond merely producing clothing in a range of sizes if they hope to succeed with a body-diverse world. The whole industry has to connect on a personal level with consumers. That involves showing shoppers that they are seen, understood and important to brands. “Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US.
32. What do the underlined words “the elephant in the room” mean in the first paragraph?
A. The hot issue that is valued. B. The obvious truth that is ignored.
C. The important principle that is recognized. D. The common phenomenon that is criticized.
33. Why do consumers say fashion brands are not truly inclusive?
A. They pick sizes randomly. B. They offer limited plus sizes.
C. They treat designers disrespectfully. D. They haven’t broadened standard sizes.
34. What is researchers’ attitude towards some brands?
A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
35. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. All buyers deserve fashion that fits their figure.
B. Consumers prefer brands with personalized values.
C. Brands should catch up with the size-inclusive trend.
D. A good brand image is critical in the fashion industry.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了很多品牌推出了加码衣服,却只是为了迎合尺码包容这一趋势,而并非真正的满足客户的需要。品牌如果真的想要取得成功,就需要关心消费者的价值观。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind(直到“体型积极”和“接纳肥胖”运动宣扬了“身材肥胖的人不应被遗忘”这一理念。)”可知,在体型积极和接纳肥胖的运动提出口号之前,大尺码消费者的需求一直被忽视。“the elephant in the room”用来表示显而易见却被忽视的事情,这里指大尺码消费者的需求长期被时尚行业忽视,B选项“被忽视的明显事实”符合语境。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.(然而,如今许多设计师所做的只是挑选一个他们认为足够大、可以归入大码范畴的尺码,然后就止步不前了。这种做法甚至更不尊重人。)”可知,消费者认为时尚品牌不是真正包容的,是因为他们提供的大码服装有限。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people.(那些过去在广告中宣扬所谓完美身材的品牌,如今正试图通过增加一些尺码来跟风。感觉他们并不是真正关心大码人群。)”和“It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.(这给人的印象是,这些公司只是试图在市场上分得一杯羹,并没有真正致力于满足(大码人群所在的)群体的需求。)”可知,研究人员认为一些品牌只是为了跟风而增加一些尺码,并非真正关心大尺码消费者,只是想在市场上获得份额,对这些品牌持批评态度。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US.(美国商学院的市场营销学教授卢多维卡・切萨雷奥表示:“消费者在意价值观,所以他们希望从那些体现他们所信奉价值观的品牌处购物。每个人都应该享有同样范围的时尚选择。”)”可推知,所有买家都应该得到适合他们身材的时尚服装。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我国国庆节的由来及其历史意义。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:国庆节形成的历史渊源可以追溯到20世纪初,当时中国处于动荡状态。本空为主句谓语,主句描述的是客观事实,所以用一般现在时,主语The history为第三人称单数,date back to“追溯到”,谓语用第三人称单数dates。故填dates。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:渴望民族独立、人民解放和美好未来的中国人民,掀起了一波又一波英勇的斗争。本句谓语为launched,此处为非谓语动词,long for“渴望”与主语The Chinese people为主动关系,所以用现在分词,作后置定语。故填longing。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:1911年,辛亥革命爆发,推翻了统治中国数千年的专制君主制。本空为that引导的定语从句的谓语,从句动作rule“统治”发生在overthrew“推翻”之前,即过去的过去,时态用过去完成时,从句谓语用had ruled。故填had ruled。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在中国共产党的领导下,中国人民踏上了革命斗争的新征程。此处修饰名词struggle,应用形容词revolutionary“革命的”,作定语。故填revolutionary。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在抗日战争中,中国人民团结一致,英勇抗击日本侵略者,为捍卫国家主权和领土完整作出了巨大牺牲。本句谓语为fought和made,此处为非谓语动词,用defend“捍卫,保卫”的不定式,作目的状语。故填to defend。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:经过八年的浴血奋战,中国人民最终取得了抗日战争的胜利,这是中华民族求生存斗争的一个重大转折点。此处修饰动词achieved,应用副词eventually“最终”,作状语。故填eventually。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,且关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:1949年10月1日,毛泽东主席在北京天安门广场向全世界宣告:“中华人民共和国成立了!”declare to sb.“向某人宣告”,为固定搭配,to为介词,故填to。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这一重大事件标志着中国历史新时代的开始。此处泛指“一个新时代”,且new是以辅音音素开头的词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:国庆节不仅是庆祝的时刻,也是反思的时刻。此处作介词for的宾语,应用不可数名词reflection“反思”。故填reflection。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两端,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled (开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shifted their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess (课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor (谣言).
Paragraph 1: At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess ended.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
续写情节提示:
1) What is Jamie’s specific motivation for approaching Del? (e.g., guilt, pity, duty?)
2) What does Jamie say first, and how does Del initially react?
3) How does Jamie specifically apologize for starting the rumor?
4) What specific action does Jamie take to “do more”?
5) How do the other students react to Jamie’s action?
6) What is the final outcome for Del and Jamie’s relationship by the end of recess?
【答案】范文1
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. His shoulders were slumped, his knees drawn up to his chest, and his arms wrapped around them. I felt a pang of guilt as I remembered how quickly I had judged him and spread that harmful rumor. Taking a deep breath, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey, Del,” I started, “I’m sorry about everything. I shouldn’t have spread those rumors without knowing the truth. I know now that you were just worried about your brother and your mom.” Del’s eyes widened slightly, and for a moment, he just stared at me, as if trying to process my words. “Thanks, Jamie,” he said quietly, his voice tinged with surprise. “I appreciate you telling me that. I forgive you.” As he spoke, I could see the tension in his shoulders ease slightly, and his eyes softened, the cloud of sadness lifting just a bit.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess ended. I gathered a few of my friends and explained that the rumors about Del were untrue. Together, we approached the other kids and shared what we had learned about Del’s brother and their mom. Slowly, the truth began to sink in, and the hostility towards Del started to dissipate. By the end of recess, some kids even apologized to Del and invited him to join the next kickball game. Reflecting on this experience, I realized how damaging rumors can be and how important to seek the truth and understand someone’s circumstances before passing judgment.
范文2
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. The sight of his isolated figure tugged at my heartstrings. Ashamed and embarrassed, I took a deep breath, approached him inch by inch and sat beside him. At the sight of me, his eyebrow narrowed, with a mixture of surprise and confusion. I lowered my head, murmuring, “Sorry, Del. It was I who spread the rumor that you hit the little boy.” His eyes widened in surprise, I could feel something in his voice sounded more hurt than angry. But a moment later, he patted my shoulder gently and replied in a soft voice, “It’s okay, Jamie. I’m also sorry for calling your nickname.” It was the first time he’d used my real name. I was delighted that I got his forgiveness.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I gathered my courage, walked up into the front and began to call for others’ attention. All the kids stopped kicking the ball and exchanged confused looks with each other. I cleared my throat and explained what actually happened. I felt a sense of relief welling up in my heart and surging through me after my confession. Much to my surprise, the players waved to Del, inviting him to join us. Del nodded willingly, a look of joy spreading across his face. Soon the air was filled with laughter and talks. Only at that moment did I realize that rumor spread easily, but it hurt someone deeply.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者因Del给作者取不好听的绰号且是麻烦制造者而不喜欢他。Del被叫到办公室后,作者认为Del打了人,要被学校开除了,就把自己想象的结果传播给同学,同学们信以为真。课间他孤独悲伤,作者后来得知真相后十分愧疚。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“第二天课间休息时,我看到Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知,第一段可描写作者看到 Del 独自坐着的落寞模样,回忆起自己传谣的行为产生愧疚,进而主动向Del道歉,以及Del原谅作者时的反应与状态变化。
②由第二段句首内容“既然Del已经原谅了我,我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知,第二段可描写作者为弥补过错,召集朋友澄清关于Del的谣言,其他孩子逐渐理解Del并消除敌意,甚至邀请他加入游戏,最后作者从这件事里领悟到谣言的危害与探寻真相的重要性。
2.续写线索:看到Del独自落寞——因传谣愧疚——向Del道歉——Del原谅——召集朋友澄清谣言——其他孩子接纳Del——领悟道理

A
Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often-overlooked beauty.
Loew’s Palace Theatre
Originally opened as the Poli’s Palace Theatre in 1922 by architect Thomas W. Lamb, it was one of a double theatre complex along with the neighbouring Poli’s Majestic Theatre. In 1934, both theatres were taken over by Loew’s and operated as film theatres. In the late 1970s, an attempt to turn the building into a Christian Revival Centre never succeeded. The theatre is presently vacant and awaiting restoration.
Metropolitan Opera House
Originally founded as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908, it was designed by local architect William H. McElfatrick, who was in charge of the design of 40 theatres in his career. The Philadelphia Opera House was designed for opera manager Oscar Hammerstein as his sixth opera house. In 1910, it was sold to the Metropolitan Opera of New York City and was renamed the Met. Through the 1920s, it showed silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the late 1930s, it became a ballroom, and in the 1940s a sports area for basketball, wrestling, and boxing events. It finally closed in 1954 and was turned into a church.
Robin’s Theatre
Opened in 1923, it had 1,500 seats, and was designed by architects I. J. Goldston and Detroit-based C. Howard Crane. It was operated by The Robins Theatre Enterprises Co., a local company founded by Daniel Robins, who was an early partner of Albert Warner of Warner Bros. It closed in 1974 and was vacant until 2018, when it was renovated and reopened as a multipurpose venue in 2020.
21. What do Loew’s Palace Theatre and Metropolitan Opera House have in common?
A. Both of them were renamed. B. Both of them used to show silent films.
C. Both of them have been restored. D. Both of them served religious purposes.
22. At present, where are you likely to go for a concert?
A. Loew’s Palace Theatre. B. Christian Revival Centre.
C. Robin’s Theatre. D. Metropolitan Opera House.
23. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To rank the old and unnoticed theatres.
B. To encourage people to protect the old theatres.
C. To show the development of American theatres.
D To provide information on overlooked old theatres.
B
John Nelson, 92, grew up in Michigan and volunteered for the army in 1945. The 18-year-old managed to get accepted despite being colorblind. He landed on the island of Iwo Jima on the first day of the American attack to take the island from the Japanese. Nelson fought day and night for ten days before receiving a serious wound to his right arm. The other seven men in his squadron (中队) all died. American losses included 5900 dead and 17,400 wounded.
Nelson saw the American flag being raised on Mount Suribachi after the island was taken by the American forces. The arm would continue to trouble him for the rest of his life. Suffering from anxiety and flashbacks, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).
Al Elders was a Grandville farm boy. He joined the Navy and was stationed in Guam when the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, ended the war with Japan.
War often develops lasting friendships. But for the two World War II veterans (老兵) living at Sunset Manor in Jenison, their friendship didn’t begin until about a year and a half ago. One day, Elders noticed a man sitting at a cafeteria in Sunset Village, and that was Nelson. Seeing his Marine cap, Elders thought they would have something to talk about. And they did. The war in the Pacific is a common bond.
The two men later worked together to serve other residents at Sunset Manor. Nelson began detailing cars during good weather and cleaning streets in the winter. Elders became his advertising manager. They donated most of their income to the Wounded Warrior Project. Nelson is less mobile now and is in care at Sunset. Elders continues to visit and encourage his friend. A friend of Elders’ who traveled to Iwo Jima brought back a jar filled with sand from the rocky island. Elders sent the gift and his own wartime collections to the Seabee Museum and Memorial Park.
24. What can we know about John Nelson?
A. He volunteered for the army after graduation.
B. He witnessed his hometown ruined by the war.
C. He joined the army through strict tests and training.
D. He was physically and mentally injured in the war.
25. Why did Nelson and Elders develop a friendship?
A. They both felt sad and lonely.
B. They lived in the same place.
C. They shared a common war experience.
D. They had helped each other during the war.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. The two friends started a successful business
B. The two friends were devoted to contributing to society
C. The two friends visited Iwo Jima together after the war
D. The two friends inspired young people to join the army
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The influence of war on people’s life.
B. The importance of peace for ordinary people.
C. Two soldiers’ touching friendship during wartime.
D. Two old soldiers’ life experiences and friendship.
C
The world produces around 359 million tons of plastics each year. Plastics are certainly a big problem, but they don’t necessarily have to be. There are many ways we could set plastics on a different lifecycle. One that I have been working on is turning plastics into a hardy, reliable and sustainable building material.
Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. This is unsurprising. The proportion(比例)of plastics that are recycled is minimal. But all polymers(聚合物)are, technologically, recyclable. Some of them can be used again and again to produce the same goods. Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications.
The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing. What if this plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society? Many universities and business people are attempting to do this. Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones. For example, several groups have developed building materials made of plastic waste. Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight and recyclable—all key properties for construction materials. So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations? Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale.
I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment. From agricultural waste to concrete waste, mixed with recycled plastics, there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings. So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem. They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.
28. What’s people’s common belief about plastic recycling?
A. Almost all plastic waste can be reused. B. The methods are quite limited.
C. Not many kinds of plastics are recyclable. D. The amount is unbelievably large.
29. What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A. Plastic waste is on the decline globally.
B. Recycling plastics doesn’t make money now.
C. Plastic buildings have been largely constructed.
D. New applications of plastics haven’t been found.
30. Why can plastics make good building materials?
A. They can resist water and won’t last long.
B. They can be reproduced in large quantity.
C. They satisfy the needs of low-income people.
D. They meet most demands of building materials.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to plastic recycling?
A. Positive. B. Anxious.
C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
D
The needs of plus-size consumers have long been the elephant in the room of the fashion industry until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. This size-inclusive(尺码包容)trend has become so popular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashion brands have finally decided to extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in both North America and the UK.
Yet, many consumers say fashion brands broadening their ranges are not truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based plus-size girl. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.”
Researchers also note that some brands are just taking advantage of the trend. “Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people,” says Tom Burgess, analyst in fashion industry. “If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn’t have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.”
The fashion industry must go beyond merely producing clothing in a range of sizes if they hope to succeed with a body-diverse world. The whole industry has to connect on a personal level with consumers. That involves showing shoppers that they are seen, understood and important to brands. “Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US.
32. What do the underlined words “the elephant in the room” mean in the first paragraph?
A. The hot issue that is valued. B. The obvious truth that is ignored.
C. The important principle that is recognized. D. The common phenomenon that is criticized.
33. Why do consumers say fashion brands are not truly inclusive?
A. They pick sizes randomly. B. They offer limited plus sizes.
C. They treat designers disrespectfully. D. They haven’t broadened standard sizes.
34. What is researchers’ attitude towards some brands?
A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
35. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. All buyers deserve fashion that fits their figure.
B. Consumers prefer brands with personalized values.
C. Brands should catch up with the size-inclusive trend.
D. A good brand image is critical in the fashion industry.

I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled (开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shifted their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess (课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor (谣言).
Paragraph 1: At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
