B Tired of the busy life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmentally- friendly life. None of us felt this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone. Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, a very small town of less than 100 people, where it is normal to record temperatures above 46°C for days on end in summer and it is very wild with practically no snowfall in winter. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day. When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling and stayed in our motor home. We were faced with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days. While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, we benefit a lot from living off grid. I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take power for granted. But now they realize the importance of power, together with water and gas. We start taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. And this has a chain effect. We are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re- purposing things that we would have normally thrown. Overall going without electricity has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned here. 4. Why did the family move to the small town? A. To inspire the kids. B. To try a new lifestyle. C. To cut living expenses. D. To escape air pollution. 5. What can be learned about the small town? A. It has an aging population. B. It lacks access to water. C. It has hot summer days. D. It lacks educational resources. 6. What does the underlined phrase “living off grid” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Dealing with poverty. B. Dealing with garbage. C. Living without pollution. D. Living without electricity. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A family switching to a simple life. B. A family helping the locals go green. C. A family traveling around the country. D. A family teaching the kids hands- on skills. C One morning in June 1986, I placed an empty snail shell into a tide pool on Long Island. A hermit crab(寄居蟹)came by, inspected the shell, and quickly exchanged it for its old one. Soon another crab found the abandoned shell, did the same, and moved on. About 10 minutes later a third crab found the second’s old home and claimed its prize, leaving behind its damaged one. It may seem strange, but these small creatures are making use of what sociologists call a “vacancy chain(空缺链)”—an organized method of exchanging resources in which every individual benefits by claiming a more desirable possession abandoned by another individual. Recent studies have revealed two types of vacancy chains in hermit crabs: synchronous and asynchronous. In the asynchronous type(like what I observed), usually one crab at a time comes across a vacant shell without other crabs nearby. But in synchronous chains, they line up by size behind the one examining a vacant shell. Once it moves into the new shell, the others quickly follow, each taking the better-suited shelter in line. Though research on vacancy chains in animals beyond hermit crabs is limited, early evidence suggests that the strategy has evolved widespread. Humans follow the same pattern. Studies in 1960s Manhattan showed how new apartments triggered a chain reaction, allowing many families to upgrade their housing. Car dealers in the early 20th century adopted a similar system, trading in old cars to facilitate new sales. Vacancy chains highlight that resource distribution is not just about competition but also about the efficient transfer of resources, shedding light on issues like housing shortages and even crime. Not long ago, I returned to the beach where my observations began. Watching the hermit crabs crawl through the tide pool, I felt grateful and delighted, realizing that some patterns of our social life are so fundamental that we even share them with rather primitive creatures. 8. Where was the second crab’s original shell according to paragraph 1? A. It was taken by the first crab. B. It was exchanged with a snail. C. It was occupied by the third crab. D. It was left behind in the tide pool. 9. Which of the following is correct about the two kinds of chains? A. Asynchronous chains occur only in animals. B. Asynchronous chains involve fighting over resources. C. Synchronous chains involve crabs queuing up by age. D. Synchronous chains occur when crabs gather in the same place. 10. Which of the following can set off a “vacancy chain”? A Winning a bet. B. Storing canned food. C. Selling old vehicles for new ones. D. Buying disposable plastic bottles. 11. What does the passage imply about the significance of studying vacancy chains? A. It may suggest new ways to care for crabs. B. It may reveal how competition is stimulated. C. It may highlight the importance of saving resources. D. It may give insights into human resource distribution. D A bestseller by Giulia Enders explores the fascinating world of the human digestive system and its profound impact on overall health. One of the key takeaways is the idea that the gut(肠)is not just a digestion machine, but a complex and intelligent organ that influences our immune system, brain function, and emotional well-being. The book explores the gut-brain connection, explaining how the gut communicates with the brain and can influence mood and behavior, highlighting the link between gut health and mental conditions like anxiety and depression. Enders also explains how the gut’s nervous system functions independently of the brain and why it’s often called the “second brain.” Another key point is the impact of diet on gut health. Enders advises incorporating fiber-rich foods, fermented products(like yogurt), and probiotics(good bacteria)into our diet to nourish beneficial gut bacteria. She also warns against the overuse of antibiotics(抗生素), which can upset the balance of gut bacteria and lead to digestive disorders. The book also provides insight into common digestive problems and breaks down how these issues can be managed or prevented by making simple lifestyle changes, like eating slowly and managing stress. Enders explains the digestive process in a simple and engaging way, highlighting the importance of a healthy gut and offers practical advice on supporting its function, such as avoiding overly processed foods and eating mindfully. Enders also touches on the significance of the immune system in the gut, where a large portion of immune cells reside. A healthy gut microbiome(肠道微生物组)can strengthen the immune response, while an imbalanced gut may lead to increased risk to infections and autoimmune diseases. Enders successfully makes the science of the gut accessible and relatable, showing that by understanding how this often-overlooked organ works, we can make informed choices that significantly improve our health and happiness. 12. What does the underlined word “takeaways” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Differences. B. Conclusions. C. Causes. D. Goals. 13. What does the author might agree with? A. An unhealthy gut will definitely lead to immune disorders. B. The gut’s nervous system interrelates with the brain in its function. C. Eating slowly or managing stress helps avoid some digestive problems. D. The more fiber we include in our diet, the healthier our gut will become. 14. Which one can best serve as the title of the book by Giulia Enders? A Gut Health Is Above Wealth. B. Eat Your Way to Good Health. C. Immune System: A Deciding Factor in Overall Health. D. Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ. 15. What is the text? A. A book review. B. A research paper. C. An advertisement for a book. D. A chapter of a book. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you get up in the morning, what is the first thing that you tend to do? By chance, is it to check notifications on a cell phone? ____16____ That usually means using the newest technology in nearly every aspect of life. ____17____ One sensible approach is to set goals, use time limits, and avoid letting any single medium or electronic platform take up the lion’s share of your time. One major impact of advanced technology has been the change in the way people read. After centuries of reading the printed page, people now do much of their reading on various kinds of screens for the reason that the shift is convenient and cost-effective. ____18____ One concern is that light from computer and phone screens can eventually cause teary eyes. In addition, recent research has found advantages to reading on paper. Professor Virginia Clinton of the University of North Dakota examined results from 33 studies on reading. This research indicates that students demonstrated better comprehension when reading on paper rather than on screens. ____19____ It simply suggests that reading on paper has not yet lost its value. How often do people find themselves watching videos or using websites only to find that hours have passed with their original goal unfulfilled? That is because designers use artificial intelligence to create video feeds and music streaming programs that absorb your attention for as long as possible. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be able to take a step back. ____20____ In doing so, it can give them back their time and sense of agency. A. Sometimes, small changes can go a long way. B. That does not mean to never read on a phone. C. The value of it often depends on the judgment of the user. D. However, some people choose to read on paper when possible. E. For many, keeping up with the most current information is a must. F. Sometimes, though, constant connectivity can become a bit overwhelming. G. Users should establish reasonable usage time limits based on their actual needs. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In many ways Mack and Cameron were typical high school friends.

When I was a little girl, I knew that I had a gift for music. Playing was my love. While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun, playing childish games, I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano. When I played, I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy. All I had to worry about was my music. Playing was never boring for me. I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came. It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition. The music hall was packed with excited audience. I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me. As the fellow competitors were playing. I couldn’t keep my mind on their music. I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings. I had known my music was like the back of my hand. But this time, to my great surprise, I found my fingers completely out of my control. They kept shaking. I nearly burst into tears. Seeing this, mom held my hands tightly in hers. She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up. Then she whispered to my ear, “Sweetie, take it easy. Just listen and enjoy the music.” I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time. A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano. He looked calm and confident. His fingertips danced on the keyboard. The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air. For a moment, I totally forgot my nervousness. 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。 Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly my fingers slipped（滑）and I hit a wrong note. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
