Though her success hasn’t been shown to be true by the Guinness Book of World Records, Alford said she had been to 196 countries. While her trips may have looked attractive and exciting on her social media, Alford faced various difficulties such as getting lost in new places, running short of money, and falling sick with malaria (疟疾) or food poisoning. For most people, the biggest problem for seeing the world is not having enough money, but Alford managed to pay for her travels mostly by herself. She started doing many jobs and savings all the money she earned since she was 12 years old. Also, her mother owns a travel agency and it helps her find the best prices and book in advance, which helps her save a lot of money on flights and hotels. As a solo female traveler, Alford thought being safe was the most important thing when deciding how long to stay in a country, besides money and her own interest. She spent over a month in countries like Egypt and Switzerland, where there were many things she could do and ways to keep those trips from being too expensive. Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days visiting, but unfortunately she couldn’t afford the proper steps to travel safely there. Despite feeling lonely at times, Alford thinks that solo travel is a great experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives. After her travels, Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough. You also have to give up a lot of things if you want to travel the world, but if it’s something you really love, you just need courage to go for it. 41. What do we know about Alford’s travel to 196 countries? A. It was easy and fun all the time. B. She faced some hard situations. C. She visited all countries with her mother. D. She had no health problems at all. 42. How did Alford get money for her travels? A. She mainly used her own money from work and saving. B. Her mother gave her all the money. C. She got free flights and hotels. D. She borrowed money from friends. 43. Why did Alford stay in Mali for only a few days? A. She didn’t like the things to do in those countries. B. She didn’t have enough money for safe travel there. C. She felt so lonely that she didn’t want to stay any longer. D. She couldn’t talk with people there. 44. What does the word “solo” in Para. 3 mean? A. With family. B. With friends. C. By oneself. D. In a group. 45. What does Alford want to tell us after traveling? A. Traveling needs love and courage. B. Traveling is impossible for most people. C. We should never give up things for travel. D. Problems in travel can’t be solved. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了21岁的Lexie Alford自称成为访问所有国家的最年轻的人，介绍了她旅行中的经历、资金来源、旅行安排及感悟。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Though her success hasn’t been shown to be true by the Guinness Book of World Records, Alford said she had been to 196 countries. While her trips may have looked attractive and exciting on her social media, Alford faced various difficulties such as getting lost in new places, running short of money, and falling sick with malaria (疟疾) or food poisoning.(尽管吉尼斯世界纪录尚未证实这一成就，但Alford称自己已到访过 196 个国家。虽然她的旅行在社交媒体上看起来光鲜又刺激，但她实则面临着各种困难 —— 比如在陌生地方迷路、资金短缺，还曾感染疟疾或食物中毒。)”可知，Alford在去196个国家的旅行中面临了一些艰难的情况。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She started doing many jobs and saving all the money she earned since she was 12 years old. Also, her mother owns a travel agency and it helps her find the best prices and book in advance, which helps her save a lot of money on flights and hotels.(她从12岁起就开始打多份工，把赚到的钱全部存了起来。此外，她的母亲经营着一家旅行社，这能帮她找到最优价格并提前预订，让她在机票和酒店上省下不少钱。)”可知，Alford旅行用的钱主要是自己工作赚的和存的。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days visiting, but unfortunately she couldn’t afford the proper steps to travel safely there.(还有一些国家，如马里、南苏丹和索马里，她很想在那里多待几天，但不幸的是，她负担不起安全旅行的适当费用。)”可知，Alford只在马里待了几天是因为她没有足够的钱在那里安全旅行。故选B。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“As a solo female traveler, Alford thought being safe was the most important thing when deciding how long to stay in a country, besides money and her own interest.(作为一名solo旅行的女性，Alford认为，除了金钱和自己的兴趣之外，安全是决定在一个国家停留多长时间的最重要因素。)”和最后一段中“Despite feeling lonely at times, Alford thinks that solo travel is a great experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives.(尽管有时会感到孤独，但Alford觉得，独自旅行是一种很棒的体验，每个人一生至少都该有一次。)”可知，Alford是一个人旅行的，所以solo意思是“独自地”。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“You also have to give up a lot of things if you want to travel the world, but if it’s something you really love, you just need courage to go for it.(如果你想环游世界，你还必须放弃很多东西，但如果这是你真正喜欢的事情，你只需要有勇气去做。)”可知，Alford旅行后想告诉我们旅行需要热爱和勇气。故选A。 C Have you ever noticed this? When you line up at the supermarket checkout counter, the other lines always seem to move faster than yours. You might check your phone again and again, and even wish you’d picked a different line. Now, a report from The New York Times looks into the math and psychology (心理学) behind it. It also gives simple tips on how to pick the fastest line — whether you’re in a supermarket, a bank waiting to take out money, or a coffee shop waiting for your drink. Dan Meyer, a US mathematician, says a cart full of things doesn’t tell you everything. “Every person needs some time to say hello and goodbye to the cashier.” he explains. That fixed time is about 41 seconds per person. Each small thing in the basket, like a cola can or breakfast box. Let’s see an example. If there are five people in front of you, each with 10 things, you’ll wait 355 seconds (that’s almost 6 minutes!). But if there’s just one person ahead with 50 things, you’ll only wait 191 seconds (about 3 minutes). It’s surprising, but the numbers don’t lie! It’s also important to watch the people in line. For example, elderly people usually move more slowly — they might take time to put their wallet back or carry their bags. The things in their carts matter too: four bottles of the same milk check out faster than four different items (like a bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, a carton of eggs, and a jar of jam), because the cashier can scan the same item quickly. What’s more, US science writer Robert Samuel says about 90 percent of people are right-handed, so they naturally turn to the right when choosing a line. Going left instead gives you a better shot at a faster line. Try these tips next time you’re waiting in line, and you might save time to do something more fun! 46. What does the report look into according to Paragraph 1? A. Why phones are useful in lines. B. The math and psychology behind slow lines. C. How cashiers can work faster. D. Differences between store and bank lines. 47. How long will you wait if there is one person ahead with 10 things? A. 71 seconds. B. 101 seconds. C. 131 seconds. D. 161 seconds. 48. Which of the following lines may move fastest? A. One elderly person buying 10 different things. B. One young person buying 10 different things. C. One elderly person buying 10 same things. D. One young person buying 10 same things. 49. What advice does Robert Samuel give for choosing a faster line? A. Studying the customers. B. Choosing the left line. C. Picking someone with a full cart. D. Studying the goods customers bought. 50. What does the story mainly talk about? A. How to communicate with cashiers effectively. B. The psychology of customers in the supermarket. C. The best time to go shopping at the supermarket. D. Tips on choosing the fastest line when waiting in line. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了排队时选择最快队伍的相关原理及实用技巧。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“Now, a report from The New York Times looks into the math and psychology (心理学) behind it.(如今，《纽约时报》的一篇报道深入探究了这背后的数学原理与心理学因素)”可知，该报告探究了慢速队伍背后的数学和心理学原理。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“That fixed time is about 41 seconds per person. Each small thing in the basket, like a cola can or breakfast box. Let’s see an example. If there are five people in front of you, each with 10 things, you’ll wait 355 seconds (that’s almost 6 minutes!). But if there’s just one person ahead with 50 things, you’ll only wait 191 seconds (about 3 minutes).(每个人所需的这段固定时间大约为41秒。购物篮里的每件小物品，比如一罐可乐或一盒早餐，都会占用时间。让我们来看个例子。要是你前面有五个人，每人都有10件东西，那么你得等待355秒（这差不多是6分钟！）。但如果前面只有一个人，他有50件东西，那你只需等待191秒（大约3分钟）)”可知，每个人固定的时间大约是41秒，每多一件东西，就多41秒，但根据给出的例子，可推测出每件物品大约增加3秒（（355-5×41）÷（5×10）=3）。因此，如果前面有一个人带着10件东西，那么你需要等待的时间是41秒（固定时间）+10×3秒（每件物品增加的时间）=71秒。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“For example, elderly people usually move more slowly — they might take time to put their wallet back or carry their bags. The things in their carts matter too: four bottles of the same milk check out faster than four different items (like a bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, a carton of eggs, and a jar of jam), because the cashier can scan the same item quickly.(例如，老年人通常行动更为迟缓——他们可能需要花些时间把钱包放回包里，或是提着购物袋。他们购物车里的东西也很关键：四瓶同样的牛奶结账速度要比四件不同商品（比如一瓶牛奶、一条面包、一盒鸡蛋和一罐果酱）快，因为收银员能快速扫描相同的商品)”可知，老年人通常行动较慢，且相同物品结账更快，结合选项可知，一个年轻人买10件相同的东西的队伍可能移动得最快。故选D。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“What’s more, US science writer Robert Samuel says about 90 percent of people are right-handed, so they naturally turn to the right when choosing a line. Going left instead gives you a better shot at a faster line.(此外，美国科学作家罗伯特·塞缪尔表示，大约90%的人是右撇子，所以他们在选择队伍时自然会偏向右侧。而选择左侧队伍反而会让你更有机会排到更快的队伍)”可知，Robert Samuel建议选择左边的队伍以获得更快的结账速度。故选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第一段中“It also gives simple tips on how to pick the fastest line — whether you’re in a supermarket, a bank waiting to take out money, or a coffee shop waiting for your drink.(它还提供了如何选择最快排队的简单提示——无论你是在超市、银行等着取钱，还是在咖啡店等饮料)”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了如何选择排队时最快的队伍的相关技巧和建议。故选D。 第II卷 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分30分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 In January, some special artworks were shown at Lillian M. Jacobs School in Hull, Massachusetts The sculptures are made entirely of rubbish collected by sixth-graders! The school is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In February 2024, the students spent a cold day cleaning up a nearly 1-mile area of Nantasket Beach. They collected more than 40 bags of rubbish. “I often go to the beach and don’t notice the rubbish,” says Derek DeGallo, who is now a seventh-grader. “But when I looked for it, I realized how much there was.” Every year, billions of pounds of rubbish end up in oceans all over the world. The students found many things on the beach, from fishing lines to old shopping carts. Most of it is plastic. This waste makes beaches dirty and can hurt sea animals — many get stuck in the plastic or eat it by mistake, falling ill. After their beach cleanup, the students sorted the rubbish into groups like glass, plastic and foam and counted each piece of rubbish. They sent the data to the Center for Coastal Studies, an organization helps protect the ocean near Massachusetts. Then, a local artist named Jackie Ranney and the school’s teachers helped the students turn the rubbish into sculptures of fish and other sea creatures, like whales and seahorses. The artworks show people how important it is to take care of the earth. “I hope kids see these artworks and think about how they use plastic,” says Ranney, the local artist. “They might ask themselves, ‘Do I throw away and recycle my rubbish in the right way?’” Derek, now a seventh-grader, feels proud that he and his classmates helped stop rubbish from getting into the ocean. “Our town’s beaches are wonderful,” he says. “We want to make sure they stay clean.” 51. Where did the students collect the rubbish? (no more than 5 words) _______________________________________________ 52. What harm does the rubbish cause to sea animals? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________ 53. What did the students do with the rubbish before making art? (no more than15 words) _______________________________________________ 54. What does the underlined word “creature” in Paragraph 6 mean? (One word) _______________________________________________ 55. What do you think about the students’ activities? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) _______________________________________________ 【答案】51. Nantasket Beach. 52. They get stuck in the plastic or eat it. 53. They sorted the rubbish and counted each piece of it. 54. Animals. 55. Meaningful. Because they help stop rubbish from getting into the ocean. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了马萨诸塞州赫尔市的莉莲·M·雅各布斯学校的学生们清理海滩垃圾，并将其转化为艺术作品，以此呼吁人们保护地球。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“In February 2024, the students spent a cold day cleaning up a nearly 1-mile area of Nantasket Beach. They collected more than 40 bags of rubbish.(2024年2月，学生们花了一个寒冷的日子清理了近1英里长的楠塔基特海滩。他们收集了40多袋垃圾。)”可知，学生们在Nantasket Beach收集垃圾。故答案是Nantasket Beach。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“This waste makes beaches dirty and can hurt sea animals—many get stuck in the plastic or eat it by mistake, falling ill.(这种废物使海滩变脏，并可能伤害海洋动物——许多动物被困在塑料中或误食塑料，生病了。)”可知，垃圾对海洋动物的危害是许多动物被困在塑料中或误食塑料，生病了。故答案是They get stuck in the plastic or eat it。 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段“After their beach cleanup, the students sorted the rubbish into groups like glass, plastic and foam and counted each piece of rubbish.(在清理海滩后，学生们将垃圾分类为玻璃、塑料和泡沫等组，并数了每一块垃圾。)”可知，在制作艺术品之前，学生们将垃圾分类并数了每一块垃圾。故答案是They sorted the rubbish and counted each piece of it。 【54题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第六段“Then, a local artist named Jackie Ranney and the school’s teachers helped the students turn the rubbish into sculptures of fish and other sea creatures, like whales and seahorses.(然后，一位名叫杰基·兰尼当地艺术家和学校的老师帮助学生将垃圾变成了鱼和其他海洋_____的雕塑，比如鲸鱼和海马。)”中的“fish”和“whales and seahorses”可知，这些都是海洋生物，所以“creature”的意思是“生物”，即animal。故答案是Animals。 【55题详解】 考查开放性试题。根据倒数第二段“Derek, now a seventh-grader, feels proud that he and his classmates helped stop rubbish from getting into the ocean.(现在上七年级的德里克为自己和同学们阻止垃圾进入海洋而感到自豪。)”可知，学生们的活动是有意义的，因为他们帮助阻止垃圾进入海洋。故答案是Meaningful. Because they help stop rubbish from getting into the ocean。 第二节：书面表达（满分20分） 56. 假如你是晨光中学学生李津。你校英文报“Sports Stories”栏目征文。请你根据表格提示，以“An Unforgettable School Sports Day”为题，写一篇英语短文，记录10月10日你校举办的运动会。 Time Oct. 10th Place school playground Main events 4×100-meter relay race, long jump...

B Lexie Alford, 21, said she recently became the youngest person to visit every country. Though her success hasn’t been shown to be true by the Guinness Book of World Records, Alford said she had been to 196 countries. While her trips may have looked attractive and exciting on her social media, Alford faced various difficulties such as getting lost in new places, running short of money, and falling sick with malaria (疟疾) or food poisoning. For most people the biggest problem for seeing the world is not having enough money, but Alford managed to pay for her travels mostly by herself. She started doing many jobs and savings all the money she earned since she was 12 years old. Also, her mother owns a travel agency and it helps her find the best prices and book in advance, which helps her save a lot of money on flights and hotels. As a solo female traveler, Alford thought being safe was the most important thing when deciding how long to stay in a country, besides money and her own interest. She spent over a month in countries like Egypt and Switzerland, where there were many things she could do and ways to keep those trips from being too expensive. Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days visiting, but unfortunately she couldn’t afford the proper steps to travel safely there. Despite feeling lonely at times, Alford thinks that solo travel is a great experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives. After her travels, Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough. You also have to give up a lot of things if you want to travel the world, but if it’s something you really love, you just need courage to go for it. 41. What do we know about Alford’s travel to 196 countries? A. It was easy and fun all the time. B. She faced some hard situations. C. She visited all countries with her mother. D. She had no health problems at all. 42. How did Alford get money for her travels? A. She mainly used her own money from work and saving. B. Her mother gave her all the money. C. She got free flights and hotels. D. She borrowed money from friends. 43. Why did Alford stay in Mali for only a few days? A. She didn’t like the things to do in those countries. B. She didn’t have enough money for safe travel there. C. She felt so lonely that she didn’t want to stay any longer. D. She couldn’t talk with people there. 44. What does the word “solo” in Para. 3 mean? A. With family. B. With friends. C. By oneself. D. In a group. 45. What does Alford want to tell us after traveling? A. Traveling needs love and courage. B. Traveling is impossible for most people. C. We should never give up things for travel. D. Problems in travel can’t be solved. C Have you ever noticed this? When you line up at the supermarket checkout counter, the other lines always seem to move faster than yours. You might check your phone again and again, and even wish you’d picked a different line. Now, a report from The New York Times looks into the math and psychology (心理学) behind it. It also gives simple tips on how to pick the fastest line — whether you’re in a supermarket, a bank waiting to take out money, or a coffee shop waiting for your drink. Dan Meyer, a US mathematician, says a cart full of things doesn’t tell you everything. “Every person needs some time to say hello and goodbye to the cashier.” he explains. That fixed time is about 41 seconds per person. Each small thing in the basket, like a cola can or breakfast box. Let’s see an example. If there are five people in front of you, each with 10 things, you’ll wait 355 seconds (that’s almost 6 minutes!). But if there’s just one person ahead with 50 things, you’ll only wait 191 seconds (about 3 minutes). It’s surprising, but the numbers don’t lie! It’s also important to watch the people in line. For example elderly people usually move more slowly — they might take time to put their wallet back or carry their bags. The things in their carts matter too: four bottles of the same milk check out faster than four different items (like a bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, a carton of eggs, and a jar of jam), because the cashier can scan the same item quickly. What’s more, US science writer Robert Samuel says about 90 percent of people are right-handed, so they naturally turn to the right when choosing a line. Going left instead gives you a better shot at a faster line. Try these tips next time you’re waiting in line, and you might save time to do something more fun! 46.

Jacobs School in Hull, Massachusetts The sculptures are made entirely of rubbish collected by sixth-graders! The school is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In February 2024, the students spent a cold day cleaning up a nearly 1-mile area of Nantasket Beach. They collected more than 40 bags of rubbish. “I often go to the beach and don’t notice the rubbish,” says Derek DeGallo, who is now a seventh-grader. “But when I looked for it, I realized how much there was.” Every year, billions of pounds of rubbish end up in oceans all over the world. The students found many things on the beach, from fishing lines to old shopping carts. Most of it is plastic. This waste makes beaches dirty and can hurt sea animals — many get stuck in the plastic or eat it by mistake, falling ill. After their beach cleanup, the students sorted the rubbish into groups like glass, plastic and foam and counted each piece of rubbish. They sent the data to the Center for Coastal Studies, an organization helps protect the ocean near Massachusetts. Then, a local artist named Jackie Ranney and the school’s teachers helped the students turn the rubbish into sculptures of fish and other sea creatures, like whales and seahorses. The artworks show people how important it is to take care of the earth. “I hope kids see these artworks and think about how they use plastic,” says Ranney, the local artist. “They might ask themselves, ‘Do I throw away and recycle my rubbish in the right way?’” Derek, now a seventh-grader, feels proud that he and his classmates helped stop rubbish from getting into the ocean. “Our town’s beaches are wonderful,” he says. “We want to make sure they stay clean.” 51.
