B Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak (down the Potomac River, continuing her voyage,the latest of her solo trips on major waterways.It was tough,but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else,empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the now."I'm in the moment,looking at the waves."said Brennan. The journey is a minimalist style:sleeping bag,small tent,rain jacket,change of clothes, first aid kit,apples and cheese sticks.When she's thirsty,she scoops water from the rivers and pumps it through a filter."I always drink the river,"she says.Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the bald eagles above,deer on the banks and a fascinating array of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes. However,every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and eat a cheeseburger.She'll also check in with her husband John,who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home."He's my virtual Sherpa with benefits,"Brennan says,laughing.She has a phone with her but rarely calls or texts anyone.Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so. Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she's not reckless.Brennan grew up on a lake and was a strong swimmer and boater from an early age.When going through rough rapids,she watches the weather carefully.She is cautious about where she camps and who is around her.She has packed up her gear and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe Surely,she is alone on these journeys but she isn't lonely.She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us. 24.What can be learned about Cathy Brennan from paragraph 1? A.She longs for calmness. B.She is fond of travelling. C.She seeks inner peace. D.She is tired of everyday housework. 25.Why does Brennan regard her husband as"virtual Sherpa with benefits"? A.Because he keeps track of her. B.Because he arranges the route for her. C.Because he accompanies her on the river. D.Because he contacts her with calls and texts. 26.What does the underlined word"reckless"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Cautious. B.Fearless. C.Ambitious. D.Thoughtless. 27.How is Brennan's kayak trip according to the passage? A.Odd and instructive. B.Costly and relaxing. C.Romantic and thrilling D.Tough and rewarding. C Earthquakes are among the most mysterious and terrifying natural disasters.While we can sometimes predict major ones,others strike without warning,devastating cities and causing fires, landslides and tsunamis.With climate change leading to increased wildfires and hurricanes, could it also make earthquakes more common? The most dangerous earthquakes are tectonic(地壳构造的)earthquakes,.caused by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates.These plates shift about 1.5 centimeters per year due to internal heat,building pressure until they suddenly move,which releases energy and causes earthquakes. Unlike other disasters,it's almost impossible to predict when earthquakes will happen, making planned evacuations()next to impossible. Unfortunately,climate change could make quakes happen closer together and with more intensity,experts told Live Science.With global warming,glaciers are melting at an increased rate.When melted glacier water flows off land and into the sea,the land that used to sit underneath it rises,said John Cassidy,an earthquake seismologist at the Geological Survey of Canada and the University of Victoria. More concerning than glacial-melt earthquakes are those that could be caused by an increase in sea level.As sea levels rise,pressure underwater on the seafloor also goes up,said Marco Bohnhoff,a geophysicist at GFZ Helmholtz Centre Potsdam and Free University Berlin in Germany.As water pressure spikes,the pressure on fault()lines near the coast will also increase. Even if we stopped using greenhouse gases now,it would take up to 1,000 years for sea level rise to stop,Bohnhoff added.He predicts that over that time,the gaps between big coastal 3 earthquakes will become shorter. Cassidy is uncertain if sea level rise will cause giant quakes to happen faster within our lifetimes.He emphasized that climate change will make them more dangerous."It's an important topic,and one that I'm sure we'll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,"he said.But no matter what we've discovered,it's not good news. 28.What does the article tell us about tectonic earthquakes? A.They are easier to predict than others. B.They happen mostly near coastal areas. C.They result from the shifting of Earth's plates. D.They rarely lead to other natural disasters. 29.What does the underlined word"it"in paragraph 4 refer to? A.The land.B.The glacier. C.The quake. D.The sea. 30.What does Bohnhoff imply? A.Coastal areas will be safer over time. B.Sea level rise will eventually stabilize C.Human actions have long-term effects. D.Earthquakes will become more predictable. 31.What is Cassidy's attitude toward the future impact of climate change on earthquakes? A.Hopeful. B.Concerned. C.Uncaring. D.Skeptical. D Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider?Data released by the OECD suggests that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than a primary school child.In maths, average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years,but fallen in almost as many.In literacy(读写能力)，a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance,despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before. Demographic(人口统计的)change offers some explanation-new immigrants often struggle with a new language while the native-born have ageing brains.Basic numeracy( )and literacy are oddly unfashionable compared with fashionable"soft skills",like generative AI:Overstating the importance of times-tables()seems even more boring when talking robots promise to do all the hard work. Yet a century of technological development has not cut demand for people who are good with numbers or words.Adults who do badly in the OECD's tests earn much less than those who top them.They are also in poorer health,less satisfied with their life,less trusting of others and more likely to feel that they have no voice in politics. What to do?Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grownups.England's adults have gradually improved their position in the OECD's rankings, mostly because the youngest ones are scoring better than before.The second task is to modernize outdated systems for educating adults.These give dropouts a second chance;they also serve people who change careers and help immigrants integrate. In too many places,a craze for universities has cut back on funding and focus on the kinds of lessons that people aged 18 and above could be offered.Degrees are becoming less meaningful:the OECD has found that even some university graduates post numeracy and literacy scores that might embarrass a child.Meanwhile,those adults who want to return to class 4 without beginning with long,expensive university courses often find good alternatives are lacking.Faster actions to fix all these problems seem like a bright idea. 32.What does the data released by the OECD show? A.Adults may be less literate than before. B.The majority of adults are well-educated. C.Children can have easier access to education D.Adults find numeracy and literacy less useful. 33.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The effectiveness of education. B.The role of advanced technology. C.The value of literacy and numeracy. D.The decline in political engagement. 34.Why is England mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To criticize its outdated education system. B.To reveal the decrease in its dropout rate. C.To demonstrate its high ranking in the OECD. D.To highlight the significance of children's education. 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.University students are financially supported. B.Children are embarrassingly worse in numeracy. C.Degrees and abilities are not necessarily matched. D.Expensive university courses have good alternatives. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Every day,we speak to and spend time with the people who mean the most to us.However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn't consider as close connections.36In sociology,these are known as our"weak ties", referred to as such to differentiate them from our strong ties,like close friends and family members. _37 For example,if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends,they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However,mentioning it to an acquaintance,like a regular waiter,connects you to people outside your own social circle,which can provide unexpected job opportunities. "Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties,including providing access to unique information and resources,"says Susan Sprecher,distinguished professor at Illinois State University."Additionally,many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties.38" Indeed,weak ties can give us a real mental health boost.A recent study done by Sprecher indicated people with wider connections of weak ties tend to be happier.39 They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual. 5 Given they have such a strong impact on our lives,why not create weak ties?40 Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people,whether it's those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops,or with whom you share a class. A.The research involved students. B.You find yourself in a better mood. C.We just need to engage with other people. D.Weak ties can have a smaller effect than you might think. E.This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being. F.For example,you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store. G.Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information. 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Venice has long suffered under the pressure of overtourism,leading to endangered heritage sites.Nowadays,it is launching a(n)41 campaign to inform visitors of a pilot program announced last year.

The floodwaters spread quickly,.sweeping through the whole village.Debris piled up(瓦砾堆积) in front of every home,and the water washed over the roads,spreading mud()and sand.The paths that were once passable were now completely blocked,and even the road to the hospital was completely submerged(淹没).The lives of the villagers were disrupted(打乱)，and there were no safe roads to travel.Most of the villagers stayed indoors,waiting for the rain to stop, hoping the water would go down. However,for one father,this could not stop him from taking action.His six-month-old daughter,Ruby,had a high fever that wouldn't go down,and she had been crying all night, growing weaker and weaker.The family didn't have enough medicine to relieve her pain.The father watched her anxiously,filled with fear and uncertainty.He knew he had to get Ruby to the hospital as quickly as possible to get proper treatment,but the road to the hospital was completely blocked by the flood,and there were no other choices available. "Ruby,Daddy's going to take you to the hospital.Hold on.he said softly,knowing she couldn't understand him yet.Her tiny face turned red from the fever,and she weakly rested in his arms.The father's heart ached with worry,feeling helpless.There was no time to waste; Ruby's life was more important than anything else. The father decided to walk through the water to get to the hospital.The water outside had risen to his calvest(小腿肚)，and the flood had covered the streets,completely submerging the nearby paths.He could only move slowly through the water.The water flowed fast,and the mud was dangerous,with every step feeling like a fight against the water's force,but the father's determination didn't weaken. 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。 Carrying Ruby on his back,the father carefully made his way through the flooded streets.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分）Possible version Carrying Ruby on his back,the father carefully made his way through the flooded streets. Each step sank deep into the mud,pulling at his legs as if to drag him down.The cold water bit into his skin,yet his arms tightened around his daughter's fragile body,whispering promises that she would be safe.At times the current almost knocked him off balance,and he staggered forward,heart racing with fear.Ruby gave a faint cry,which pierced through the storm, reminding him that giving up was not an option.He fixed his eyes on the distant lights,praying they belonged to the hospital.With his strength fading and hope flickering like a candle in the wind,he pressed on through the darkness,determined not to fall before reaching help. Paragraph 2 Finally,after a long and difficult journey,the father reached the hospital.Exhausted,he collapsed onto the steps,gasping for breath while holding Ruby tightly.Nurses rushed forward, guiding him inside,and the warmth of the building felt like the embrace of safety.As the doctors took Ruby from his trembling arms,tears welled in his eyes-tears of both fear and relief.He whispered a silent prayer,thanking fate for granting him the courage to fight the flood.When the doctor assured him that Ruby would recover with treatment,the father's shoulders shook with uncontrollable sobs.At that moment,he realized that even the fierces t storm could not break the bond between a father and his child. 9
