One weekend last summer, I paid a visit to the Sahara Desert with my boyfriend David. Before we went to the Sahara Desert, we had heard about the sandstorms there. But we didn’t believe we would be so unlucky to experience one.
We were in a jeep with our guide when someone who was traveling with us said a sandstorm was coming. But the guide shook his head, saying we shouldn’t worry. He took us straight to the place where we would take a camel ride.
We were watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm came. The winds roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe.
David found me in the sand. Then he began taking off his long scarf around his neck and face, wanting to put it around my face instead. But I rejected it. Instead, I managed to put on a travel jacket that I had put in my backpack and pulled the hood around my face. David held me and we walked in the sand. All I wanted was to get back to our camp and out of the storm.
Unfortunately, getting back to the camp meant facing the storm. Both David and I climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel. When we finally stopped, David helped me to get off the camel and led me to the side of a long black tent, where he rolled out a blanket and helped me to sit. We saw our guide near us. “I thought you guys were going to kill me,” he said. “There were signs, if I had paid attention. The driver asked me twice about doing the ride tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but everyone was so excited about riding camels that I didn’t want to see all of you feel upset.”
Most of us laughed it off. A few even took a pleasure in the experience. Though I suffered a lot, I didn’t regret my trip there. How many people can say they’ve ridden a camel through a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert?
4. What happened to the author and her boyfriend?

B. They prepared well for a possible sandstorm.
C. They had good skills in surviving sandstorms.
D. They suffered a lot on the way back to the camp.
6. Why didn’t the guide move the camel ride to the next day?
A. He was encouraged not to by the driver.
B. He thought the sandstorm would stop soon.
C. He didn’t want to let the tourists down.
D. He wanted to finish the tour as quickly as possible.
7. What is the best title for the text?

C. The Danger of Sandstorms D. A Considerate Guide

Many kinds of birds migrate (迁徙) every year, raising a family in one place during the warm summer months before flying to a warmer place to spend the cold winter months. In the northern half of the world, many birds fly north in the summer and south in the winter, looking for food and better conditions.
Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built. Experts say that as many as one billion birds may die every year in the US alone as a result of flying into buildings. Other tall structures, such as power lines and cell towers, also lead to many bird deaths.
Buildings are a special challenge for migrating birds. The windows can reflect things like the sky or trees, causing birds to fly directly into the glass. And many birds migrate at night. As a result, the difficulty in migrating is amplified at night. That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.
Philadelphia got a sad reminder of that last October when thousands of migrating birds were killed in one night. Over 1,000 birds were believed to have died in just one small area. Scientists still aren’t sure what made that night so bad, but it may have been connected with the low clouds over the city at the time.
Now the city begins a program called Lights Out Philly. Twice a year (from April 1 to May 31. and from August 15 to November 15), many of the city’s buildings go dark at night. The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning. So far, many of the city’s best-known and tallest buildings have taken part in the program.
8. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the migration of birds?
A. It takes place once a year.
B. It can affect human activities.
C. It can be hard and dangerous.
D. It is caused by human actions sometimes.
9. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increased. B. Reduced.
C. Handled. D. Replaced.
10. What does the program run by Bird Safe Philly ask people to do?
A. Stop hunting birds. B. Go out less at night.
C. Build homes for birds in cities. D. Tum off lights during the required time.
11. Why is Lights Out Philly started?
A To protect the environment.
B. To educate the public on birds.
C. To cut the cost of electricity.
D. To help birds pass Philadelphia safely.
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two parts related to rewards (奖赏) when they were being watched by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers influence the way young people gather and apply information. It included 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are suggesting that we should take advantage of the teens’ strong sensitivity (敏感性) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
12. What does the author want to say by mentioning Steinberg’s study?
A. Parents’ worries are reasonable. B. Teens drive more carelessly with peers.
C. Adults are better drivers than teens. D. Peer pressure only brings harm.
13. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
14. How does risk-taking influence teens in the latest study?
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
15. What does Blakemore think of involving peers in learning?
A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Risky. D. Challenging.

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 was in my final year of high school, and like many of my peers, I was constantly stressed about my future. Everyone around me seemed to have their lives mapped out. But I was lost. I loved art, spending hours sketching in my notebook, but I was convinced that it wasn’t a practical career choice. My parents, both doctors, had high hopes for me to follow in their footsteps.
One day during lunch break, I was sitting alone in the school garden, flipping through my sketchbook. As I stared at a drawing of a beautiful landscape I had created, I felt a pang of sadness. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Mr. Thompson, our art teacher, approaching.
“Mind if I take a look?” he asked gently. Startled, I handed him the sketchbook. He flipped through the pages slowly, his eyes lighting up with each drawing. “These are incredible, Lily. You have a real talent,” he said. I shrugged, “Thanks, but it’s just a hobby. I can’t make a living from drawing.” Mr. Thompson sat down beside me. “Why not? There are so many amazing career opportunities in the art field-graphic design, illustration, art therapy... the list goes on.”
His words planted a seed of hope in my heart, but the doubts quickly crept back. That evening, at the dinner table, I hesitantly brought up the idea of studying art in college. My parents’ reactions were immediate. “Lily, we know you love art, but it’s not a stable career. You’ll struggle to make ends meet,” I remained silent, my appetite gone.
As the following school day ended, I found myself walking towards the art room. Mr. Thompson was inside, organizing some supplies. He smiled warmly, “I understand it’s a tough decision. But sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith and trust your instincts.” Just then, an announcement came over the school intercom. “Attention, students! The local art museum is hosting a high-school art competition. The winner will receive a full-scholarship to a renowned art school.” I froze. This could be my chance, but the fear of failure and my parents’ expectations were holding me back.
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。
For a moment, I stood there, torn between hope and fear
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the day of the competition arrived.

One weekend last summer, I paid a visit to the Sahara Desert with my boyfriend David. Before we went to the Sahara Desert, we had heard about the sandstorms there. But we didn’t believe we would be so unlucky to experience one.
We were in a jeep with our guide when someone who was traveling with us said a sandstorm was coming. But the guide shook his head, saying we shouldn’t worry. He took us straight to the place where we would take a camel ride.
We were watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm came. The winds roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe.
David found me in the sand. Then he began taking off his long scarf around his neck and face wanting to put it around my face instead. But I rejected it. Instead, I managed to put on a travel jacket that I had put in my backpack and pulled the hood around my face. David held me and we walked in the sand. All I wanted was to get back to our camp and out of the storm.
Unfortunately, getting back to the camp meant facing the storm. Both David and I climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel. When we finally stopped, David helped me to get off the camel and led me to the side of a long black tent, where he rolled out a blanket and helped me to sit. We saw our guide near us. “I thought you guys were going to kill me,” he said. “There were signs, if I had paid attention. The driver asked me twice about doing the ride tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but everyone was so excited about riding camels that I didn’t want to see all of you feel upset.”

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We were watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm came. The winds roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe. (骑完骆驼后,我们正在看日出时,沙尘暴来了。狂风怒吼着穿过沙丘之间的山谷,扬起沙子,直到让人无法呼吸)”可知,作者和她的男朋友遭遇了一场强烈的沙尘暴。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Unfortunately, getting back to the camp meant facing the storm. Both David and I climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel. (不幸的是,返回营地意味着必须直面风暴。我和David都骑上了骆驼。沙子打在我身体的每个部位。我紧紧闭着眼睛,什么也看不见,也无法控制骆驼)”可知,作者和她的男朋友在返回营地的路上受了不少苦。故选D项。

The driver asked me twice about doing the ride tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but everyone was so excited about riding camels that I didn’t want to see all of you feel upset. (是有预兆的,如果我注意了的话。司机问了我两次,让我把骑骆驼从今晚改到明天早上,但大家都对骑骆驼很兴奋,我不想扫你们的兴)”可知,导游没有将骑骆驼活动改到第二天的原因是不想让游客们失望。故选C项。

C
Many kinds of birds migrate (迁徙) every year, raising a family in one place during the warm summer months before flying to a warmer place to spend the cold winter months. In the northern half of the world, many birds fly north in the summer and south in the winter, looking for food and better conditions.
Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built. Experts say that as many as one billion birds may die every year in the US alone as a result of flying into buildings. Other tall structures, such as power lines and cell towers, also lead to many bird deaths.
Buildings are a special challenge for migrating birds. The windows can reflect things like the sky or trees, causing birds to fly directly into the glass. And many birds migrate at night. As a result, the difficulty in migrating is amplified at night. That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.
Philadelphia got a sad reminder of that last October when thousands of migrating birds were killed in one night. Over 1,000 birds were believed to have died in just one small area. Scientists still aren’t sure what made that night so bad, but it may have been connected with the low clouds over the city at the time.
Now the city begins a program called Lights Out Philly. Twice a year (from April 1 to May 31. and from August 15 to November 15), many of the city’s buildings go dark at night. The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning. So far, many of the city’s best-known and tallest buildings have taken part in the program.
8. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the migration of birds?
A. It takes place once a year.
B. It can affect human activities.
C. It can be hard and dangerous.
D. It is caused by human actions sometimes.
9. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increased. B. Reduced.
C. Handled. D. Replaced.
10. What does the program run by Bird Safe Philly ask people to do?
A. Stop hunting birds. B. Go out less at night.
C. Build homes for birds in cities. D. Tum off lights during the required time.
11. Why is Lights Out Philly started?
A. To protect the environment.
B. To educate the public on birds.
C. To cut the cost of electricity.
D. To help birds pass Philadelphia safely.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是鸟类迁徙面临的挑战及费城为保护鸟类实施的“Lights Out Philly”计划。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built.(许多鸟类在迁徙途中死亡。其中一些死亡是人类活动的结果,如狩猎或清除曾经被迁徙鸟类使用的广阔土地。然而,对迁徙鸟类而言,最大的威胁之一来自于人类建造的结构。)”可知,鸟在迁徙途中的一些死亡是人类活动造成,由此可知,鸟类在迁徙过程中会遇到许多危险,包括来自人类行为和建筑物的威胁。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“And many birds migrate at night.(许多鸟类在夜间迁徙。)”以及划线单词后的“That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.(那是因为明亮的城市灯光会让那些通常依靠星星导航的鸟类感到困惑。)”可知,由于明亮的城市灯光会让那些通常依靠星星导航的鸟类感到困惑,所以在夜间迁徙的困难应该是增大,由此可知,划线单词的意思是“增大,扩大”,与“Increased”相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning.(由Bird Safe Philly运行的该项目,要求建筑业主和居住在该区域的人们在午夜至早上6点之间关闭灯光。)”可知,该项目要求人们在规定时间内关灯。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Philadelphia got a sad reminder of that last October when thousands of migrating birds were killed in one night.(去年十月,费城在一个晚上就有数千只迁徙中的鸟类被杀死,这给了费城一个悲伤的提醒。)”以及尾段中的“Now the city begins a program called Lights Out Philly.(现在,该城市启动了一个名为“Lights Out Philly”的计划。)”可知,费城在一个晚上就有数千只迁徙中的鸟类被杀死,因此而启动了“Lights Out Philly”计划,由此可推断,“Lights Out Philly”计划是为了帮助鸟类安全通过费城。故选D。
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two parts related to rewards (奖赏) when they were being watched by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers influence the way young people gather and apply information. It included 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are suggesting that we should take advantage of the teens’ strong sensitivity (敏感性) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
12. What does the author want to say by mentioning Steinberg’s study?
A. Parents’ worries are reasonable. B. Teens drive more carelessly with peers.
C. Adults are better drivers than teens. D. Peer pressure only brings harm.
13. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
14. How does risk-taking influence teens in the latest study?
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
15. What does Blakemore think of involving peers in learning?
A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Risky. D. Challenging.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年与同龄人在一起时更容易冒险的原因,并通过实验表明同龄人的影响也会促使青少年在学习方面取得更好的表现,专家建议利用青少年对朋友的敏感来促进教育。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.(青少年的父母常常对孩子的朋友心存疑虑,他们担心孩子会被同龄人驱使去做一些愚蠢甚至危险的事情。他们的担忧是有道理的。在之前的一项研究中,心理学家劳伦斯·斯坦伯格发现,与同龄人一同乘车的青少年司机发生交通事故的风险要高于独自驾车或与成年人一同驾车的司机)”可知,作者提及斯坦伯格的研究是想表达父母们的担忧是有道理的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences.(当人们体验到一些有益的东西时,大脑的奖励系统就会被激活,比如吃到美味的食物,这会让他们感觉很好。在这种情况下,青少年获得的奖励更大,这促使他们寻求更高风险的体验)”可知,青少年之所以会有危险行为,是因为他们寻求奖励,寻求满足感,所以获得满足感是青少年危险行为背后的原因。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.(有同伴的玩家更愿意冒险,试图找出哪些牌组可以帮助他们获胜。结果表明,与同龄人一起玩的青少年比单独玩的青少年更有探索行为,学习速度更快,在任务中表现更好)”可知,在最新的研究中,有同伴的玩家更愿意冒险,而这种冒险可以帮助青少年学得更快,表现更好。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.(伦敦大学学院的教授萨拉·杰恩·布莱克莫尔写道:“在教育环境中进行冒险是一种非常重要的技能,它能够促进进步和激发创造力。”)”可知,布莱克莫尔认为让同龄人参与学习这件事是有帮助的。故选A。

【答案】参考范文
Dear Jenny,
I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English broadcasting program. From my perspective, American country music, compared with Chinese folk music, is more suitable for this new part, and the reasons are as follows.
Initially, American country music itself is beautiful, for its simple and catchy tunes make it easy for the listeners to follow along, even for those with basic English skills, and its lyrics often leave us in deep thought. Additionally, American country music provides a platform for us to have a deep insight into authentic American culture, especially about their unique music.
To sum up, I prefer American country music to Chinese folk music. Hope my view can be taken into your favorable consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 (满分25分)
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 was in my final year of high school, and like many of my peers, I was constantly stressed about my future. Everyone around me seemed to have their lives mapped out. But I was lost. I loved art, spending hours sketching in my notebook, but I was convinced that it wasn’t a practical career choice. My parents, both doctors, had high hopes for me to follow in their footsteps.
One day, during lunch break, I was sitting alone in the school garden, flipping through my sketchbook. As I stared at a drawing of a beautiful landscape I had created, I felt a pang of sadness. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Mr. Thompson, our art teacher, approaching.
“Mind if I take a look?” he asked gently. Startled, I handed him the sketchbook. He flipped through the pages slowly, his eyes lighting up with each drawing. “These are incredible, Lily. You have a real talent,” he said. I shrugged, “Thanks, but it’s just a hobby. I can’t make a living from drawing.” Mr. Thompson sat down beside me. “Why not? There are so many amazing career opportunities in the art field-graphic design, illustration, art therapy... the list goes on.”
His words planted a seed of hope in my heart, but the doubts quickly crept back. That evening, at the dinner table, I hesitantly brought up the idea of studying art in college. My parents’ reactions were immediate. “Lily, we know you love art, but it’s not a stable career. You’ll struggle to make ends meet,” I remained silent, my appetite gone.
As the following school day ended, I found myself walking towards the art room. Mr. Thompson was inside, organizing some supplies. He smiled warmly, “I understand it’s a tough decision. But sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith and trust your instincts.” Just then, an announcement came over the school intercom. “Attention, students! The local art museum is hosting a high-school art competition. The winner will receive a full-scholarship to a renowned art school.” I froze. This could be my chance, but the fear of failure and my parents’ expectations were holding me back.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 For a moment, I stood there, torn between hope and fear. Then, something inside me snapped. I decided to take a chance. I walked up to Mr. Thompson and told him I wanted to participate in the competition. Overjoyed, he immediately offered to help me prepare my entry. Over the next few weeks, I poured all my energy into creating a masterpiece. It was a large-scale watercolor painting that depicted a vivid scene of a bustling city street filled with people from all walks of life. Mr. Thompson provided valuable feedback, guiding me to improve the composition and color palette.
Finally, the day of the competition arrived. I nervously submitted my painting and waited anxiously for the results. When it was announced that I was the winner, I couldn’t believe my ears. I stood there, stunned, as my classmates and teachers erupted into applause. I looked around and saw Mr. Thompson beaming with pride. My parents were initially shocked when receiving the news. But as they saw the joy and determination in my eyes, they began to understand that my happiness was more important than their expectations. From that day on, I knew that following my passion was the best decision I could have ever made.
