For many students, it’s the first time they have to manage their own studies, make new friends, and balance different activities. Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your high school years. First, develop good study habits. Unlike middle school, high school courses are more challenging. It’s important to take notes in class, review them regularly, and finish homework on time. You can also create a study schedule to avoid cramming (临时抱佛脚) before exams. Second, build meaningful relationships. High school is a great place to meet people with similar interests. Join clubs or sports teams that you like. Not only will you make friends, but you’ll also learn teamwork and leadership skills. Remember to be kind and respectful to others — friendships take time to grow. Finally, take care of yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, and exercising regularly are essential for your physical and mental health. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you make mistakes — high school is a learning process, and everyone grows at their own pace. 21. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to succeed in high school exams. B. Tips for adapting to high school life. C. The importance of making friends in high school. D. Ways to improve physical health in high school. 22. According to the passage, what should students do to deal with challenging courses? A. Cram before exams. B. Skip difficult classes. C. Develop good study habits. D. Ask teachers for help every day. 23. What benefit can students get from joining clubs? A. They can get better grades. B. They can learn teamwork skills. C. They can avoid making mistakes. D. They can sleep better at night. B When Christina Zimmerman came back to work after having her baby, she struggled with depression. She almost intended to quit her job. But her school’s daycare, just a few rooms away, made all the difference. “I can be a teacher and a mom at the same time,” said Zimmerman, a fourth-grade teacher in Idaho. “Teaching is my dream, but I also want to be with my child. I didn’t want to choose.” In states such as Idaho and Texas, many schools now provide affordable quality child care for teachers. This helps teachers stay in their jobs, especially women who often leave work to care for their children. It also helps schools keep more good teachers and gives young children a safe place to grow. In Idaho, Principal Heather Yarbrough started an on-campus daycare at her school after remembering how hard it was to drop off her three-month-old daughter Grace with a caregiver at a faraway daycare center each day. Yarbrough said the feelings still haunt her, even 14 years later. She recalled that she cried every day for weeks, but couldn’t quit her job as a teacher. Today, many teachers at her school use the on-campus daycare, and it helps them stay in their jobs. “This is a great strategy by which you can support both children, families and then the school’s workforce, and parties concerned welcome the idea,” said Molly Hillier, an instructional coach and mother of a child at the school. In Texas, the Richardson school district runs two daycares that care for babies as young as six weeks old. Teachers only pay $350 per month, which is much less than regular daycares. School-based child care not only helps teachers — it helps students, too. Happier teachers stay longer and build better relationships with kids. As one teacher said, “If teachers feel supported, they can give more to their students.” 24. Why did Zimmerman want to quit her teaching job? A. She failed to get a pay raise. B. She had to take care of her baby. C. She disliked teaching students. D. She lived far away from her school. 25. Which best explains the underlined word “haunt” in paragraph 3? A. Cause repeated suffering. B. Bring peace of mind. C. Show personal preference. D. Take up too much time. 26. What did Hillier say about the on-campus daycare? A It mainly aims to benefit pupils. B. It enables her to work from home. C. It is a well-received program. D. It is expensive for most families. 27. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Teachers’ Struggles in Balancing Work and Family B. Daycare Centers Are Facing Unexpected Hardships C. Mothers’ Love and Its Impact on Children’s Growth D. School Daycare Helps Teachers Stay in the Classroom C When people think about surfing, they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal (吸引力) to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social function that is particularly important to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have inspired other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone global. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 28. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C. The ages of the participants. D. The position on the skateboard. 29. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert guidance to professional surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people overcome fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 30. What could we infer about the older women from the question “What about us?”? A. They disliked surfing. B. They desired to learn surfing. C. They were fearful of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting the Elderly into the Surf C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event D Before 2021, the typically cool Pacific Northwest and western Canada seemed highly unlikely to get a killer heat wave, but they did. Many in North Carolina figured that hurricanes were a coastal problem until Helene blew in last year. After the deadly flood in central Texas in 1987, some thought they could handle the worst flooding in the future. Then came this month’s terrible flash flood that killed more than 179 people. Climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense, according to climate data. But experts warn that people and governments are generally living in the past and haven’t accepted that extreme weather is becoming a new norm “There’s plenty of evidence that we start to experience things that just basically never happened before,” Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said" Unfortunately, when these risks are coming right at us like a fast-moving train, we just stand in the tracks. Then, all of a sudden, ‘Boom’” “Time and again after catastrophic storms and wildfires, people whose lives were runed said they didn’t think they could happen to them again. It’s sort of a psychological mechanism (心理机制) to protect themselves from the terrible stress caused by those disasters But with extreme weather events happening more frequently and in more places, this mindset can prevent them from making proper preparations,” said Kim Klockow McClain, an extreme weather social scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research who studies communicating disaster warnings and risk. “The message needs to be, ‘If you’ re used to some degree of flooding, look at what happened in Texas and realize that this is a shifting baseline.’” As for future disasters, the country needs to figure out and plan for the worst case instead of looking to the past. It’s obvious that we’ re living into a future where what used to be extreme becomes average, typical, and what used to never occur in a human lifetime or maybe even in a thousand years becomes the new extreme. 32. What message does the author want to convey in the first two paragraphs? A. It is very difficult to predict natural disasters. B. It is dangerous to take the new situation lightly. C Cool areas are also affected by climate change. D. Extreme events used to occur more frequently 33. How does Michael Oppenheimer most probably feel about the current situation? A. Satisfied. B. Regretful. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned. 34. How do the survivors react to similar future disasters, according to paragraph 4? A. They usually appear to be too optimistic B. They are willing to seek professional advice. C. They make great efforts to be ready for them. D. They tend to cooperate with the governments. 35. What does the author call on the governments and people to do? A. Learn from the past B. Get prepared for the worst. C. Move to safer places. D. Give in to the extreme climate. 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。 How to be a good basketball player Here are tips to help you improve your performance on the court: Master ball handling skills The ability to handle the ball is arguably the most important skill in basketball. When it comes to improving the handling of the ball, you need to learn the correct dribbling posture (运球姿势) and keep practicing it. ____36____ If you practice a lot, you won’t have to think too hard about dribbling. Get in good shape ____37____ Therefore, building endurance (耐力) is essential to playing an entire game. This is important, considering that you can’t use your skills best if you struggle to keep up after, say, 5 minutes of play. To build endurance, hit the gym daily before basketball training. Improve game speed If you train alone, it can possibly be challenging to maintain good form during a real game, depending on how you train. For this reason, when practicing basketball, try to mimic the speed of a real game by pretending that there are several defenders. This will go a long way to helping you master good game speed. ____38____ Practice how to create space from defenders When practicing, have some of your teammates act as defenders to help you improve your striking skills. When playing, pay attention to the defender’s feet and hands to create a better opportunity to bypass them with the ball in your hands. ____39____ Identify and work on improving your weak spots To improve your ball-handling techniques, you need to identify your weak areas and work tirelessly on improving them.____40____ In general, to become an excellent player, you need to identify and correct all of your weaknesses. A. Basketball is a physically challenging sport. B. The best way to improve as a basketball player is to find a mate. C. Use your shoulders to create space between the defender and the ball. D. For the most part, the right dribbling posture means staying balanced. E. However, improving your basketball skills might be harder than you think. F. For example, if you are weak at free throw shooting, spend more time practicing it. G. Otherwise, you might do well in practice, but fail in actual game due to poor speed. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(每小题1分，共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 Administrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang Gansu Province, are trying to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard the murals (壁画), through innovative measures.

She lived with her hardworking mom, a nurse who often came home late. Jane tried to do everything by herself but always seemed to forget something. Her strict science teacher, Mr. Jeff, often got angry with her for being unprepared. “Late again, Jane!” Mr. Jeff shouted loudly one Monday morning as Jane rushed into class, her shoes untied and books falling from her arms. “Where’s your homework? Still unfinished?” Jane’s face turned red. “I... I did finish it this time,” she said quietly, searching her bag. Her heart dropped when she pulled out a messy math paper instead. The class laughed. That night, Jane sat in her room, remembering how embarrassed (尴尬的) she felt “I’ll prove I can do better,” she promised herself. She stayed up late organizing her school things: notes and a homework report, Jane’s mom, coming home late from her nursing job, noticed the extra effort Jane was putting into her schoolwork. She asked Jane to go to bed early. But Jane said. “I really need to do well on this homework. Mr. Jeff has been so strict, and I don’t want to disappoint (使失望) him again.” Her mom nodded, understanding the importance of Jane’s efforts. Finally, everything was ready. Jane set two alarms (闹铃). Unluckily, the next morning the alarms didn’t ring, because Jane had set them wrongly. Her mom knocked on her door and said, “Jane! The school bus is coming soon!” In a hurry to eat breakfast, brush her teeth, and find her shoes, Jane completely forgot her schoolbag by the door.

If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you’ll know that we began our tour in Amsterdam, walked our way through Germany and Austria down into Italy. Back up through Switzerland and this week we’re in Paris. We won’t spend much time at the big attractions in a tourist destination like Paris. Even a new traveler knows to see the famous art museums of Paris, and no one misses the Eiffel Tower. But we’re going to some of the places the average tourist misses. For instance, the best view in town may not be from the top of the Eiffel Tower, but from the top of the Montparnasse Tower. The view includes the Eiffel Tower as well as everything else. It’s cheaper and easier to get up. Here we can join a ride on a public bus. I like the views from line 63, or we can cruise through Paris in one of their river tour boats. To cover more territory, traffic and streets for you, I ride the subway. Many European cities have subway systems. The one in Paris is really amazing. You can go anywhere in town for a reasonable price. And don’t worry, getting lost is cheap. In fact, you could stay underground all day long on one ticket about the cost of a cup of coffee. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 9. What does the man want to do next year? A.

M: People told me before I would find it very stressful initially. It hasn’t been too bad, though — I’ve really enjoyed the challenge. The more you put in, the better you do. W: Do you have a part-time job? M: Yes, I share a flat with others, and I need to pay the rent. W: And finally, what are your teachers like? Are they helpful? M: I must admit I was a bit scared of them when I first arrived. But after chatting with them, I found most of the teachers enjoy getting to know their students. And I also benefit a lot from their valuable insights. So, I recommend students have more and effective communication with their teachers. W: Thank you, Mark.

For many students, it’s the first time they have to manage their own studies, make new friends, and balance different activities. Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your high school years. ( 高中是一个充满变化和成长的时期。对于许多学生来说，这是他们第一次管理自己的学习，结交新朋友，平衡不同的活动。这里有一些实用的建议，可以帮助你充分利用你的高中时光。)”可知，文章开篇点明高中是变化与成长的时期，随后从“培养良好学习习惯”“建立有意义的人际关系”“照顾好自己”三个方面给出实用建议，核心是帮助学生适应高中生活。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, develop good study habits. Unlike middle school, high school courses are more challenging. It’s important to take notes in class, review them regularly, and finish homework on time. (首先，养成良好的学习习惯。与初中不同，高中课程更具挑战性。在课堂上记笔记，定期复习，按时完成作业是很重要的。)”可知，学生应该养成良好的学习习惯来应对具有挑战性的课程。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“High school is a great place to meet people with similar interests. Join clubs or sports teams that you like. Not only will you make friends, but you’ll also learn teamwork and leadership skills. (高中是认识志趣相投的人的好地方。参加你喜欢的俱乐部或运动队。你不仅能交到朋友，还能学到团队合作和领导能力。)”可知，学生参加社团可以学习团队合作的技巧。故选B项。 B When Christina Zimmerman came back to work after having her baby, she struggled with depression. She almost intended to quit her job. But her school’s daycare, just a few rooms away, made all the difference. “I can be a teacher and a mom at the same time,” said Zimmerman, a fourth-grade teacher in Idaho. “Teaching is my dream, but I also want to be with my child. I didn’t want to choose.” In states such as Idaho and Texas, many schools now provide affordable quality child care for teachers. This helps teachers stay in their jobs, especially women who often leave work to care for their children. It also helps schools keep more good teachers and gives young children a safe place to grow. In Idaho, Principal Heather Yarbrough started an on-campus daycare at her school after remembering how hard it was to drop off her three-month-old daughter Grace with a caregiver at a faraway daycare center each day. Yarbrough said the feelings still haunt her, even 14 years later. She recalled that she cried every day for weeks, but couldn’t quit her job as a teacher. Today, many teachers at her school use the on-campus daycare, and it helps them stay in their jobs. “This is a great strategy by which you can support both children, families and then the school’s workforce, and parties concerned welcome the idea,” said Molly Hillier, an instructional coach and mother of a child at the school. In Texas, the Richardson school district runs two daycares that care for babies as young as six weeks old. Teachers only pay $350 per month, which is much less than regular daycares. School-based child care not only helps teachers — it helps students, too. Happier teachers stay longer and build better relationships with kids. As one teacher said, “If teachers feel supported, they can give more to their students.” 24. Why did Zimmerman want to quit her teaching job? A. She failed to get a pay raise. B. She had to take care of her baby. C. She disliked teaching students. D. She lived far away from her school. 25. Which best explains the underlined word “haunt” in paragraph 3? A. Cause repeated suffering. B. Bring peace of mind. C. Show personal preference. D. Take up too much time. 26. What did Hillier say about the on-campus daycare? A. It mainly aims to benefit pupils. B. It enables her to work from home. C. It is a well-received program. D. It is expensive for most families. 27. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Teachers’ Struggles in Balancing Work and Family B. Daycare Centers Are Facing Unexpected Hardships C. Mothers’ Love and Its Impact on Children’s Growth D. School Daycare Helps Teachers Stay in the Classroom 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国部分学校通过提供校内托儿服务来帮助教师平衡工作与育儿，从而留住优秀教师，提升教学质量。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Christina Zimmerman came back to work after having her baby, she struggled with depression. She almost intended to quit her job. But her school’s daycare, just a few rooms away, made all the difference. “I can be a teacher and a mom at the same time,” said Zimmerman, a fourth-grade teacher in Idaho. “Teaching is my dream, but I also want to be with my child. I didn’t want to choose.”(克里斯蒂娜·齐默曼在生完孩子后重返工作岗位，却饱受抑郁症的困扰。她差点打算辞职。但离她学校不远的托儿所却让她改变了想法。“我可以同时做老师和母亲，”爱达荷州的一名四年级教师齐默曼说道，“教学是我的梦想，但我也想陪伴我的孩子。我不想做出选择。”)”可知，Zimmerman需要照顾孩子，因此才打算辞掉教师工作。故选B。 25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“even 14 years later. She recalled that she cried every day for weeks, but couldn’t quit her job as a teacher.(甚至在 14 年之后。她回忆说，她连续几周每天都哭，但却不能辞去教师的工作)”可推断，这种感觉会导致反复的痛苦，即便14年后，这种感受仍让她困扰，故画线词与Cause repeated suffering的意思最接近，表示“导致反复的痛苦”。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““This is a great strategy by which you can support both children, families and then the school’s workforce, and parties concerned welcome the idea,” said Molly Hillier, an instructional coach and mother of a child at the school.(“这是一个非常棒的策略，它能同时照顾到孩子们、家庭以及学校的教职工队伍，而且相关各方都对这一想法表示欢迎。”莫莉·希利尔说道。她是该校的一名教学指导员，同时还是该校一名学生的母亲)”可知，Hillier认为校内托儿服务深受各方欢迎。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In states such as Idaho and Texas, many schools now provide affordable quality child care for teachers. This helps teachers stay in their jobs, especially women who often leave work to care for their children. It also helps schools keep more good teachers and gives young children a safe place to grow.(在爱达荷州和得克萨斯州等一些州，许多学校现在为教师提供价格合理的优质儿童保育服务。这有助于教师留任原职，尤其是那些常常因要照顾孩子而放弃工作的女性教师。这还有助于学校留住更多优秀的教师，并为年幼的孩子们提供一个安全的成长环境)”及最后一段“School-based child care not only helps teachers — it helps students, too. Happier teachers stay longer and build better relationships with kids. As one teacher said, “If teachers feel supported, they can give more to their students. ”(校内儿童托管服务不仅对教师有益，对学生也有益。更快乐的教师会留任更久，并能与孩子们建立更良好的关系。正如一位教师所说：“如果教师感到受到支持，他们就能为学生付出更多。”)”及全文内容可知，文章通过Idaho和Texas的案例，讲述学校提供的托儿服务帮助教师平衡工作与家庭，从而留住更多教师。故选项D“学校托儿有助于教师留在教室授课”能够体现语篇的主旨，适合作本文标题。故选D。 C When people think about surfing, they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal (吸引力) to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social function that is particularly important to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have inspired other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone global. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 28. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C. The ages of the participants. D. The position on the skateboard. 29. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert guidance to professional surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people overcome fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 30. What could we infer about the older women from the question “What about us?”? A. They disliked surfing. B. They desired to learn surfing. C. They were fearful of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting the Elderly into the Surf C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种适合老年人的冲浪方式——趴板冲浪，并通过Granny Grommets的案例说明冲浪能帮助老年人克服恐惧、保持活力，同时形成社交社群。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. (另一种对膝盖更友好的特殊冲浪形式是趴板冲浪，冲浪者会俯卧在特制的冲浪板上进行滑行)”可知，趴板冲浪的特殊之处在于冲浪者在板上的姿势不同。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. (随着年龄增长，人们往往会在开始体育活动时失去信心并产生强烈的恐惧感，尤其是像冲浪这类运动时。一些冲浪课程旨在通过提供专业指导、培养社交联系，同时为老年人带来健康益处，来消除这些顾虑)”可知，这些冲浪课程的目标是帮助老年人克服恐惧、保持活跃。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us?” (这个团体最初成立时，创始人Kim Buttfield正在教一对母女冲浪，这时几位年长女性走过来好奇地问道：“那我们呢?”)”可知，几位年长女性提问“那我们呢？”，是想像那对母女一样学习冲浪，这表现出她们渴望学习冲浪的意愿。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal (吸引力) to people of all ages. (这项运动正因其对所有年龄层人群的吸引力而越来越受欢迎)”可知，文章围绕趴板冲浪展开，指出这是一种适合老年人的冲浪方式，并通过Granny Grommets的案例说明冲浪能帮助老年人克服恐惧、保持活力，同时形成社交社群。因此，B项“让老年人参与冲浪”最契合趴板冲浪特别的吸引力，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Before 2021, the typically cool Pacific Northwest and western Canada seemed highly unlikely to get a killer heat wave, but they did. Many in North Carolina figured that hurricanes were a coastal problem until Helene blew in last year. After the deadly flood in central Texas in 1987, some thought they could handle the worst flooding in the future. Then came this month’s terrible flash flood that killed more than 179 people. Climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense, according to climate data. But experts warn that people and governments are generally living in the past and haven’t accepted that extreme weather is becoming a new norm “There’s plenty of evidence that we start to experience things that just basically never happened before,” Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said" Unfortunately, when these risks are coming right at us like a fast-moving train, we just stand in the tracks. Then, all of a sudden, ‘Boom’” “Time and again after catastrophic storms and wildfires, people whose lives were runed said they didn’t think they could happen to them again. It’s sort of a psychological mechanism (心理机制) to protect themselves from the terrible stress caused by those disasters But with extreme weather events happening more frequently and in more places, this mindset can prevent them from making proper preparations,” said Kim Klockow McClain, an extreme weather social scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research who studies communicating disaster warnings and risk. “The message needs to be, ‘If you’ re used to some degree of flooding, look at what happened in Texas and realize that this is a shifting baseline.’” As for future disasters, the country needs to figure out and plan for the worst case instead of looking to the past. It’s obvious that we’ re living into a future where what used to be extreme becomes average, typical, and what used to never occur in a human lifetime or maybe even in a thousand years becomes the new extreme. 32. What message does the author want to convey in the first two paragraphs? A. It is very difficult to predict natural disasters. B. It is dangerous to take the new situation lightly. C. Cool areas are also affected by climate change. D. Extreme events used to occur more frequently 33. How does Michael Oppenheimer most probably feel about the current situation? A. Satisfied. B. Regretful. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned. 34. How do the survivors react to similar future disasters, according to paragraph 4? A. They usually appear to be too optimistic B. They are willing to seek professional advice. C. They make great efforts to be ready for them. D. They tend to cooperate with the governments. 35. What does the author call on the governments and people to do? A. Learn from the past B. Get prepared for the worst. C. Move to safer places. D. Give in to the extreme climate. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍气候变化使极端天气更频繁剧烈，但人们和政府仍固守过往认知，作者呼吁需正视新常态，为最坏情况做好准备。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Before 2021, the typically cool Pacific Northwest and western Canada seemed highly unlikely to get a killer heat wave, but they did. Many in North Carolina figured that hurricanes were a coastal problem until Helene blew in last year. After the deadly flood in central Texas in 1987, some thought they could handle the worst flooding in the future. Then came this month’s terrible flash flood that killed more than 179 people.(2021年之前，气候通常凉爽的太平洋西北地区和加拿大西部似乎极不可能遭遇致命热浪，但事实却发生了。北卡罗来纳州的许多人曾认为飓风是沿海地区的问题，直到去年海伦飓风来袭。1987年德克萨斯州中部发生致命洪水后，一些人认为他们能够应对未来最严重的洪水。随后本月发生的可怕山洪已造成179多人死亡。)”以及第二段中的“But experts warn that people and governments are generally living in the past and haven’t accepted that extreme weather is becoming a new norm.(但专家警告称，人们和政府普遍活在过去，尚未接受极端天气已成为新常态这一事实。)”可知，作者通过多个极端天气案例，传达出轻视这种新形势是危险的。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There’s plenty of evidence that we start to experience things that just basically never happened before,” Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said. “Unfortunately, when these risks are coming right at us like a fast-moving train, we just stand in the tracks. Then, all of a sudden, ‘Boom’.(普林斯顿大学气候科学家迈克尔·奥本海默说：“有大量证据表明，我们开始经历一些基本上从未发生过的事情。不幸的是，当这些风险像一列疾驰的火车朝我们袭来时，我们却只是站在轨道上。然后，突然之间，‘砰’的一声。”)”可知，迈克尔·奥本海默认为人们面对气候风险毫无防备，对当前状况大概率感到担忧。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Time and again after catastrophic storms and wildfires, people whose lives were ruined said they didn’t think they could happen to them again.(在灾难性的风暴和野火之后，那些生活被毁的人一次又一次地说，他们认为这样的事不会再发生在自己身上。)”可知，灾难幸存者通常过于乐观，认为类似灾难不会再次降临。故选A项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As for future disasters, the country needs to figure out and plan for the worst case instead of looking to the past.(至于未来的灾难，这个国家需要弄清楚并为最坏的情况做好计划，而不是回望过去。)”可知，作者呼吁政府和人们为最坏的情况做好准备。故选B项。 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。 How to be a good basketball player Here are tips to help you improve your performance on the court: Master ball handling skills The ability to handle the ball is arguably the most important skill in basketball.

Get in good shape ____37____ Therefore, building endurance (耐力) is essential to playing an entire game. This is important, considering that you can’t use your skills best if you struggle to keep up after, say, 5 minutes of play. To build endurance, hit the gym daily before basketball training. Improve game speed If you train alone, it can possibly be challenging to maintain good form during a real game, depending on how you train. For this reason, when practicing basketball, try to mimic the speed of a real game by pretending that there are several defenders. This will go a long way to helping you master good game speed. ____38____ Practice how to create space from defenders When practicing, have some of your teammates act as defenders to help you improve your striking skills. When playing, pay attention to the defender’s feet and hands to create a better opportunity to bypass them with the ball in your hands. ____39____ Identify and work on improving your weak spots To improve your ball-handling techniques, you need to identify your weak areas and work tirelessly on improving them.____40____ In general, to become an excellent player, you need to identify and correct all of your weaknesses. A. Basketball is a physically challenging sport. B. The best way to improve as a basketball player is to find a mate. C. Use your shoulders to create space between the defender and the ball. D. For the most part, the right dribbling posture means staying balanced. E. However, improving your basketball skills might be harder than you think. F.

C 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何成为一名优秀的篮球运动员。文章从掌握球技、保持良好体形、提高比赛速度、练习如何从防守队员中创造空间以及识别并改进自己的弱点五个方面给出了具体的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“The ability to handle the ball is arguably the most important skill in basketball. When it comes to improving the handling of the ball, you need to learn the correct dribbling posture and keep practicing it.(运球能力可以说是篮球中最重要的技能。当谈到提高运球能力时，你需要学习正确的运球姿势并不断练习)”可知，需要学习正确的运球姿势并不断练习，可推理出此处应进一步解释正确的运球姿势的要点。D项“For the most part, the right dribbling posture means staying balanced.(在很大程度上，正确的运球姿势意味着保持平衡)”与上下文衔接自然，故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Therefore, building endurance is essential to playing an entire game. This is important, considering that you can’t use your skills best if you struggle to keep up after, say, 5 minutes of play. To build endurance, hit the gym daily before basketball training.(因此，建立耐力对于打完整场比赛至关重要。考虑到如果你在比赛开始5分钟后就难以跟上，你就无法最好地发挥你的技能，这一点很重要。为了建立耐力，每天在篮球训练前去健身房锻炼)”可知，本段主要强调篮球是一项对体力要求很高的运动，需要增强耐力。A项“Basketball is a physically challenging sport.(篮球是一项对体力要求很高的运动)”与上下文衔接自然，故选A项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“For this reason, when practicing basketball, try to mimic the speed of a real game by pretending that there are several defenders. This will go a long way to helping you master good game speed.(因此，在练习篮球时，试着通过假装有几个防守队员来模仿真实比赛的速度。这将大大有助于你掌握良好的比赛速度)”可知，此处强调模仿真实比赛速度的重要性。G项“Otherwise, you might do well in practice, but fail in actual game due to poor speed.(否则，你可能在练习中表现得很好，但在实际比赛中由于速度不佳而失败)”与上下文衔接自然，故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“When practicing, have some of your teammates act as defenders to help you improve your striking skills. When playing, pay attention to the defender's feet and hands to create a better opportunity to bypass them with the ball in your hands.(在练习时，让一些队友充当防守队员，以帮助你提高打击技能。在比赛中，注意防守队员的脚和手，以便创造更好的机会在手中有球的情况下绕过他们)”可知，此处应进一步解释如何利用身体部位创造空间。C项“Use your shoulders to create space between the defender and the ball.(用你的肩膀在防守队员和球之间创造空间)”与上下文衔接自然，故选C项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“To improve your ball-handling techniques, you need to identify your weak areas and work tirelessly on improving them.(为了提高你的运球技巧，你需要识别你的薄弱环节，并不懈努力改进它们)”可知需要识别你的薄弱环节，并不懈努力改进它们，可推理出此处应举例说明如何改进自己的薄弱环节。F项“For example, if you are weak at free throw shooting, spend more time practicing it.(例如，如果你在罚球方面较弱，花更多的时间练习它)”表达的含义符合语境，故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(每小题1分，共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 Administrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, are trying to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard the murals (壁画), through innovative measures.

She asked Jane to go to bed early. But Jane said. “I really need to do well on this homework. Mr. Jeff has been so strict, and I don’t want to disappoint (使失望) him again.” Her mom nodded, understanding the importance of Jane’s efforts. Finally, everything was ready. Jane set two alarms (闹铃). Unluckily, the next morning the alarms didn’t ring, because Jane had set them wrongly. Her mom knocked on her door and said, “Jane!

With her schoolbag safely in hand, Jane hurried into the school building. She took a deep breath before entering Mr. Jeff’s classroom. As Jane walked in, Mr. Jeff looked up and said, “Late and no homework again, Jane?” “Sorry I’m late, Mr. Jeff.
