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)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Volunteer Opportunities for Kids
Animal shelter volunteering
If your child is an animal lover, then volunteering at a local animal shelter could be a great option. Most animal shelters provide volunteer opportunities. They need volunteers for cleaning kennels, feeding, walking dogs and so on. Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time.
Tutoring
If your child is a good student and enjoys school or even just a specific subject, volunteering to tutor lower grade students is a great opportunity. Helping struggling students catch up or grasp a concept can make your friend feel great. It is an easy and convenient way to get your teen volunteering after school. And we suggest the age should be older than 14.
Youth sports
Another great opportunity to get your kid volunteering is in sports. If your child has years of experience with any sport, they can most likely find an opportunity to help out younger kids. Most youth sports need teenage volunteers to be an assistant coach or a referee. Teenagers can volunteer in maintenance to spruce up (使整洁) fields, or in cleanup after game days. The age of volunteers is required beyond 14. Contact any local sports league to get specifics on where they may be needing volunteers.
Service projects for teens
Cleaning up a common space such as a park or walking trail is a great way to get active in the community, and your teen can even include their friends in their volunteer effort. More detail projects may include something like building a shade structure at a local playground or planting trees. We suggest the age of the kids should be older than 14.
1. Of the following volunteer opportunities, which is suitable for kids under 14?
A. Tutoring. B. Service projects for teens.
C. Youth sports. D. Animal shelter volunteering.
2. What can kids do when volunteering in sports?
A. They can teach younger players.
B. They can give assistance to referees.
C. They can become professional coaches.
D. They are welcome to visit local sports league.
3. Who is the passage intended for?
A. Kids’ parents. B. Sports workers.
C. Animal lovers. D. School teachers.
B
“Quick, quick, slow, slow,” my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet. Both of us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the floor. However, it didn’t.
It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (鸡尾酒) in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
It turns out that my theory is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection or friendship. But how exactly does this work? The key is vulnerability (弱点). “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us. We can work together to find a solution, and working together helps deepen the connection.
The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together. You don’t have to go bungee jumping or skydiving to grow closer. Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure you’re on the same page.
Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends. Overall, some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.
4. What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1?
A. Playing sports. B. Practising dancing.
C. Teaching lessons. D. Taking a walk.
5. What can we learn from the author’s experiences?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Good memories last a long time.
C. Processes matter more than results.
D. Well begun is half done.
6. Why does learning new things together strengthen partners’ relationship?
A. It can encourage them to teach and praise each other.
B. It helps improve the understanding of each other.
C. It can reduce each other’s loneliness and boredom.
D. It helps find each other’s weaknesses and offer support.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The power of learning new things together
B. The advantages of taking different lessons
C. The challenge of acquiring new knowledge
D. The importance of improving people’s bonds
C
It’s a dog, it’s a fox, it’s a wolf... it’s a robot? A new dog-like robot has entered the field. Created to help keep airplanes and animals safe by acting a as a predator (捕食者), the Aurora, as it is known, will soon begin its important work at the Fairbanks airport in Alaska.
Though not often discussed, the issue of airplane- animal collisions (相撞) at airports is not trivial. In 2023, 92 animal collisions were reported to the FAA at airports near Alaska. And that’s just Alaska. Trying to ease this problem without harming wildlife requires some creative thinking. And that is where Aurora comes in. Aurora is a headless robot, about the size of a hunting dog. Aurora can climb rocks and stairs, and even do a little dance.
It is these movements that its creators, Boston I Dynamics, hope will be part of a strategy to keep runways clear of wildlife, especially migratory birds in the autumn. Silly as it may seem, Aurora can do these movements of predators such as foxes and wolves, which hopefully will create a fear response in the birds and other wildlife.
Aurora is just the latest in a long line of rejected potential solutions to the bird and wildlife problem at airports. One suggestion that was suggested in Alaska was flying drones throwing a deterrent (威慑物) that included grape juice, but it was believed too risky.
And yet, despite the fact that Aurora costs about $70,000, according to Ryan Marlow, Aurora’s robot handler, the robot is still preferable to a dog: “A border dog requires food, training, warmth, but doesn’t collect data for us.”
There is something about Aurora that has great fun. Maybe it is the dancing, or just the very concept of a robot chasing birds around. Whatever the case, comparing to other solutions it seems that Aurora can make airports just a bit more safe for people and animals alike.
8. What does the underlined word “trivial” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Serious. B. Unimportant. C. Incredible. D. Appealing.
9. How does Aurora intend to keep runways clear of wildlife?
A. By producing chemical substances. B. By modelling after predators’ behaviors.
C. By using sound waves to drive animals away. D. By directly removing animals from the area.
10. Why does Ryan Marlow consider Aurora preferable to a real dog?
A. It is cheaper in the long run. B. It requires food and training.
C. It can climb rocks and stairs. D. It can gather data for analysis.
11. What does the author imply about the Aurora robot in the last paragraph?
A. It is not as effective as expected. B. It has brought entertainment to the airport.
C. It has made airports the safest places for all. D. It is a more practical solution than other options.
D
“There’s nothing more truly artistic than to love people,” said the famous painter Vincent van Gogh. The spirit of that comment might support new research findings that show spending just 30 minutes in an arts and culture museum has a number of positive mental health benefits, including measurably reducing the stress hormone (激素).
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania reviewed more than 100 studies that explore the emotional experience of visiting a museum, and Katherine Cotter, a postdoctoral fellow, concluded that museum visits yield mental health benefits. “When we enter a museum, we’reentering it with an intention,” Cotter told the PBS station.
Visiting a museum, she added, draws us away from the time and place where we live and pulls us into the experience of seeing the world through another person’s eyes. “We engage different mindsets and different cognitive(认知的) processes,” she said. “Once we get into the center of the museum visit, we see ourselves more concerned communally (共同地), thinking about how things are interrelated in the world more broadly.”
Walking through an art museum, large or small, is about more than spending time in a cool, quiet and interesting space. Notably, Cotter identified a reduction in feelings of loneliness as one of the mental health benefits of visiting art museums.
Part of the reason for this could be the communal experience of observing artworks together with other like- minded individuals. But it is also the art itself that brings us into a feeling of connection with other human beings — creators, thinkers, observers— who remind us that each of us has a point of view, something to say and something to teach and learn from the world around us.
And so we return to van Gogh’s observation. Perhaps we benefit from expanding our view of the world by exploring art and culture, in part, because the experience of being human is in itself just that — an art form.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Vincent van Gogh was a famous writer.
B. 30 minutes is enough for visiting a museum.
C. Visiting museums is a way to relieve pressure.
D. People visit museums for different purposes.
13. How did researchers at the University of Pennsylvania conduct the research?
A. By doing psychological experiments.
B. By reviewing previous studies.
C. By visiting different museums.
D. By concluding mental health benefits.
14. According to Katherine Cotter, what happens when we visit a museum?
A. We observe the world in different views.
B. We stop thinking about our daily lives.
C. We become more self- centered.
D. We show great interest in art and culture.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Museum Visit Is the Best Emotional Experience
B. Changing Your Worldview Can Change Your Life
C. Visiting an Art Museum Is Good for Mental Health
D. Museums Create Environments for Better Learning

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) when I was twelve. It ended up getting serious, and I was in the hospital for the better part of the summer. For the first week or so, I was so miserable that I didn’t really do anything but sleep, but as I started feeling better, I wanted to keep occupied. I read too quickly for my mom to keep me in books and wasn’t really interested in television even then, so my mom was desperate.
This being the early 2000s, she eventually hit on one of the most popular trends of the time: bead (珠子) keychains. She bought me some threads, a bag of beads in every color of the rainbow and a book that taught me how to make all different types of animals. I mastered the making process of it pretty quickly, and it kept me happily engaged in between books.
One day, one of the nurses came in and saw me working on one and exclaimed over how cute it was. She was one of my favorite nurses, so I immediately offered her one, and she immediately attached it to her ID badge (徽章). A nursing assistant asked for one, so I gave him one too, and then my doctor… and then it seemed like everyone wanted one!
I started spending most of my time making lizards (蜥蜴), snakes, and a turtle in the color combinations requested. My mom said she felt bad that it was turning from a hobby into a chore, but I genuinely enjoyed it and wanted to make something for everybody who’d been so nice to me when I was sick.
What I didn’t find out until some time later was that one of the officers supervising the hospital saw one of my nurses and criticized her for the lizard hanging on her badge and the officer said that the lizard was“ out of uniform” and therefore against regulations.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Apparently , several nurses had received criticism.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After that, I continued to make different animals with beads.

“Quick, quick, slow, slow,” my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet. Both of us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the floor. However, it didn’t.
It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (鸡尾酒) in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
It turns out that my theory is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection or friendship. But how exactly does this work? The key is vulnerability (弱点). “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us. We can work together to find a solution, and working together helps deepen the connection.
The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together. You don’t have to go bungee jumping or skydiving to grow closer. Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure you’re on the same page.
Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends. Overall, some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.
4. What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1?

It’s a dog, it’s a fox, it’s a wolf... it’s a robot? A new dog-like robot has entered the field. Created to help keep airplanes and animals safe by acting a as a predator (捕食者), the Aurora, as it is known, will soon begin its important work at the Fairbanks airport in Alaska.
Though not often discussed, the issue of airplane- animal collisions (相撞) at airports is not trivial. In 2023, 92 animal collisions were reported to the FAA at airports near Alaska. And that’s just Alaska. Trying to ease this problem without harming wildlife requires some creative thinking. And that is where Aurora comes in. Aurora is a headless robot, about the size of a hunting dog. Aurora can climb rocks and stairs, and even do a little dance.
It is these movements that its creators, Boston I Dynamics, hope will be part of a strategy to keep runways clear of wildlife, especially migratory birds in the autumn. Silly as it may seem, Aurora can do these movements of predators such as foxes and wolves, which hopefully will create a fear response in the birds and other wildlife.
Aurora is just the latest in a long line of rejected potential solutions to the bird and wildlife problem at airports. One suggestion that was suggested in Alaska was flying drones throwing a deterrent (威慑物) that included grape juice, but it was believed too risky.
And yet, despite the fact that Aurora costs about $70,000, according to Ryan Marlow, Aurora’s robot handler, the robot is still preferable to a dog: “A border dog requires food, training, warmth, but doesn’t collect data for us.”
There is something about Aurora that has great fun. Maybe it is the dancing, or just the very concept of a robot chasing birds around. Whatever the case, comparing to other solutions it seems that Aurora can make airports just a bit more safe for people and animals alike.
8. What does the underlined word “trivial” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Serious. B. Unimportant. C. Incredible. D. Appealing.
9. How does Aurora intend to keep runways clear of wildlife?
A. By producing chemical substances. B. By modelling after predators’ behaviors.
C. By using sound waves to drive animals away. D. By directly removing animals from the area.
10. Why does Ryan Marlow consider Aurora preferable to a real dog?
A. It is cheaper in the long run. B. It requires food and training.
C. It can climb rocks and stairs. D. It can gather data for analysis.
11. What does the author imply about the Aurora robot in the last paragraph?
A. It is not as effective as expected. B. It has brought entertainment to the airport.
C. It has made airports the safest places for all. D. It is a more practical solution than other options.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍机器人 Aurora靠模仿捕食者行为保持跑道上没有野生动物,让机场对人和动物都更加安全。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“Though not often discussed, the issue of airplane- animal collisions (相撞) at airports is not(虽然不常被讨论,但机场飞机与动物相撞的问题却不是……)”以及划线词后文“In 2023, 92 animal collisions were reported to the FAA at airports near Alaska. And that’s just Alaska.(2023年,阿拉斯加附近的机场向联邦航空局报告了92起动物碰撞事件。这还只是阿拉斯加)”可知,飞机与动物在机场相撞频繁发生。所以该句表达,虽然不常被讨论,但飞机与动物在机场相撞的问题并不是微不足道、不重要。故划线词意思是“不重要的”。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Silly as it may seem, Aurora can do these movements of predators such as foxes and wolves, which hopefully will create a fear response in the birds and other wildlife.(虽然看起来很傻,但Aurora可以模仿狐狸和狼等掠食者的动作,希望能在鸟类和其他野生动物中产生恐惧反应)”可知,Aurora靠模仿捕食者行为保持跑道上没有野生动物。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And yet, despite the fact that Aurora costs about $70,000, according to Ryan Marlow, Aurora’s robot handler, the robot is still preferable to a dog: “A border dog requires food, training, warmth, but doesn’t collect data for us.”(然而,据Aurora的机器人管理员瑞安·马洛说,尽管Aurora的成本约为7万美元,但它仍然比狗更受欢迎:“边境狗需要食物、训练和温暖,但它不会为我们收集数据。”)”可知,Ryan Marlow认为机器人比狗更可取是因为机器人可以收集数据进行分析。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whatever the case, comparing to other solutions it seems that Aurora can make airports just a bit more safe for people and animals alike.(无论如何,与其他解决方案相比,Aurora似乎可以让机场对人和动物都更安全)”可知,作者认为机器人Aurora是一个比其他选择更实用的解决方案。故选D。
D
“There’s nothing more truly artistic than to love people,” said the famous painter Vincent van Gogh. The spirit of that comment might support new research findings that show spending just 30 minutes in an arts and culture museum has a number of positive mental health benefits, including measurably reducing the stress hormone (激素).
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania reviewed more than 100 studies that explore the emotional experience of visiting a museum, and Katherine Cotter, a postdoctoral fellow, concluded that museum visits yield mental health benefits. “When we enter a museum, we’reentering it with an intention,” Cotter told the PBS station.
Visiting a museum, she added, draws us away from the time and place where we live and pulls us into the experience of seeing the world through another person’s eyes. “We engage different mindsets and different cognitive(认知的) processes,” she said. “Once we get into the center of the museum visit, we see ourselves more concerned communally (共同地), thinking about how things are interrelated in the world more broadly.”
Walking through an art museum, large or small, is about more than spending time in a cool, quiet and interesting space. Notably, Cotter identified a reduction in feelings of loneliness as one of the mental health benefits of visiting art museums.
Part of the reason for this could be the communal experience of observing artworks together with other like- minded individuals. But it is also the art itself that brings us into a feeling of connection with other human beings — creators, thinkers, observers— who remind us that each of us has a point of view, something to say and something to teach and learn from the world around us.
And so we return to van Gogh’s observation. Perhaps we benefit from expanding our view of the world by exploring art and culture, in part, because the experience of being human is in itself just that — an art form.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Vincent van Gogh was a famous writer.
B. 30 minutes is enough for visiting a museum.
C. Visiting museums is a way to relieve pressure.
D. People visit museums for different purposes.
13. How did researchers at the University of Pennsylvania conduct the research?
A. By doing psychological experiments.
B. By reviewing previous studies.
C. By visiting different museums.
D. By concluding mental health benefits.
14. According to Katherine Cotter, what happens when we visit a museum?
A. We observe the world in different views.
B. We stop thinking about our daily lives.
C. We become more self- centered.
D. We show great interest in art and culture.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Museum Visit Is the Best Emotional Experience
B. Changing Your Worldview Can Change Your Life
C. Visiting an Art Museum Is Good for Mental Health
D. Museums Create Environments for Better Learning
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了新的研究发现,参观艺术和文化博物馆对心理健康有许多积极的好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The spirit of that comment might support new research findings that show spending just 30 minutes in an arts and culture museum has a number of positive mental health benefits, including measurably reducing the stress hormone (激素).(该评论的精神可能支持新的研究成果,即仅仅在艺术和文化博物馆中度过30分钟,就会带来许多积极的心理健康益处,包括可测量的减少压力激素。)”可知,我们可以从第一段中得知参观博物馆是一种缓解压力的方式。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania reviewed more than 100 studies that explore the emotional experience of visiting a museum, and Katherine Cotter, a postdoctoral fellow, concluded that museum visits yield mental health benefits.(宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员回顾了100多项关于参观博物馆情感体验的研究,博士后研究员凯瑟琳·科特得出结论,参观博物馆有益于心理健康。)”可知,他们是通过回顾先前的研究来进行研究的。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Visiting a museum, she added, draws us away from the time and place where we live and pulls us into the experience of seeing the world through another person’s eyes.(她补充说,参观博物馆使我们远离了生活的时间和地点,让我们通过另一个人的眼睛去看世界。)”可知,参观博物馆会使我们以不同的视角观察世界。因此,当我们参观博物馆时,我们会从不同的视角看待世界。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The spirit of that comment might support new research findings that show spending just 30 minutes in an arts and culture museum has a number of positive mental health benefits, including measurably reducing the stress hormone (激素).(该评论的精神可能支持新的研究成果,即仅仅在艺术和文化博物馆中度过30分钟,就会带来许多积极的心理健康益处,包括可测量的减少压力激素。)可知,文章首段提出话题,新的研究发现,在艺术和文化博物馆即使呆30分钟对心理健康也有许多积极的好处。下文对此进行详细介绍。由此可知,C项:Visiting an Art Museum Is Good for Mental Health(参观艺术博物馆有益于心理健康)符合题意,适合作文章标题。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) when I was twelve. It ended up getting serious, and I was in the hospital for the better part of the summer. For the first week or so, I was so miserable that I didn’t really do anything but sleep, but as I started feeling better, I wanted to keep occupied. I read too quickly for my mom to keep me in books and wasn’t really interested in television even then, so my mom was desperate.
This being the early 2000s, she eventually hit on one of the most popular trends of the time: bead (珠子) keychains. She bought me some threads, a bag of beads in every color of the rainbow and a book that taught me how to make all different types of animals. I mastered the making process of it pretty quickly, and it kept me happily engaged in between books.
One day, one of the nurses came in and saw me working on one and exclaimed over how cute it was. She was one of my favorite nurses, so I immediately offered her one, and she immediately attached it to her ID badge (徽章). A nursing assistant asked for one, so I gave him one too, and then my doctor… and then it seemed like everyone wanted one!
I started spending most of my time making lizards (蜥蜴), snakes, and a turtle in the color combinations requested. My mom said she felt bad that it was turning from a hobby into a chore, but I genuinely enjoyed it and wanted to make something for everybody who’d been so nice to me when I was sick.
What I didn’t find out until some time later was that one of the officers supervising the hospital saw one of my nurses and criticized her for the lizard hanging on her badge and the officer said that the lizard was“ out of uniform” and therefore against regulations.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Apparently , several nurses had received criticism.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After that, I continued to make different animals with beads.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Apparently, several nurses had received criticism. They all felt very upset until one of them, or possibly one of my doctors, explained to the officer that the small animals were gifts from a very sick child- patient and that it not only made the patient smile to see them proudly wearing them on their badges, but it made the other patients smile as well. It was eventually decided that they could keep them hanging on their badges when they interacted with child- patients.
After that, I continued to make different animals with beads. And more nurses and doctors asked for the lovely presents. They kept hanging them on their badges when I saw them, which made the hospital full of smile. Soon I got recovered from the disease. I thought the story ended as I got released from the hospital but it turned out to be beyond my imagination. When I was visiting someone in the hospital about six months later, I was moved to see all of the nurses still had the bead animals hanging on their badges.
【解析】
