Most of us probably don’t give a second thought to sitting down at our kitchen table, but for some, that is not routine. John Michael Stagliano had just finished furnishing an apartment in Goose Creek, South Carolina, for a veteran (退伍军人) through his nonprofit, HomeAgain, when the veteran texted to thank him.
“They were perhaps the most powerful words I had ever read,” says John. “It turned out that his spirits had been extremely low. He believed he was forgotten in this world. An empty apartment was a metaphor (隐喻) for his life. He was on the edge of breaking down in those days. Maybe it was the furniture, or perhaps it was knowing there were people who cared that made the difference.” “I see the world through a different prism now,” John adds. “I never knew the impact that a simple couch or kitchen table could have. Furniture can restore the dignity of a family.”
Recalling the story brings a big smile to John’s face. That’s because this first-year computer science major student gains joy from helping others — something he’s been doing for most of his young life. His sister, Katie Stagliano, founded Katie’s Krops, a nonprofit growing vegetables and fruits to help people struggling with hunger. And John credits his sister with inspiring him toward a path of service, which began at the age of 4.
When not studying, John manages the countless duties to run the nonprofit organization he established in his hometown at the age of 12. With donations and a group of volunteers, HomeAgain helps individuals and families by providing them with furnishings and housewares for their new places — nearly 600 people now.
“With every move-in, I have changed,” he says. “I’ve found self-confidence and a realization that we all need to know that someone cares. For people who have lived in and out of shelters, to be home again is a victory, a sense of peace and something to be celebrated.”
4. Why did the veteran thank John?
A. John rented an apartment for him.
B. John sent furniture to him for nothing.
C. John helped him move to a new place.
D. John told him that people cared about him.
5. What contributes most to John’s choice to serve others?
A. His sister’s influence. B. The joy from helping others.
C. People struggling with hunger. D. Some powerful words he read.
6. How does John like his nonprofit experience?
A. Challenging. B. Inspiring. C. Worthwhile. D. Troublesome.
7. What message does the text want to deliver?
A. Kindness is a choice. B. Education begins a gentleman.
C. Success is no accident. D. Home is a shelter from storms.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“John Michael Stagliano had just finished furnishing an apartment in Goose Creek, South Carolina, for a veteran (退伍军人) through his nonprofit, HomeAgain, when the veteran texted to thank him.( 约翰·迈克尔·斯塔吉诺刚刚通过他的非营利组织HomeAgain为一位退伍军人完成了南卡罗来纳州古斯克里克的一套公寓的布置,而就在那时,这位退伍军人给他发来短信表示感谢。)”以及第二段中“Maybe it was the furniture, or perhaps it was knowing there were people who cared that made the difference.( 也许是家具的缘故,又或许是因为知道有人在乎他,这才产生了不同的影响。)”可知,约翰通过非营利组织免费为退伍军人的公寓添置了家具,这份帮助让情绪低落、觉得被遗忘的退伍军人重新感受到温暖,因此对方发来感谢。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And John credits his sister with inspiring him toward a path of service, which began at the age of 4.( 而约翰则将姐姐的激励视为自己投身服务事业的起点,这一行动始于他 4 岁时。)”可知,约翰明确表示,是姐姐的激励让他走上了服务他人的道路,姐姐是其选择的核心原因。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Recalling the story brings a big smile to John’s face.

On a cold morning this fall,Adam Welz went through chest high grass in New York state’s Adirondack Park, pausing often to watch with his binoculars (双筒望远镜) and listen. The 6-million-acreAdirondack Park is one of the wildest places in the eastern United States.
Welz, who lives in South Africa and spent years in New York, describes himself as an old-school naturalist who likes to dive into places full of living things. Smelling them, hearing them and accessing them are his approaches to understanding the wild world. The experience of wildness helps him think more clearly about climate and humans’ contribution to global warming.
One of the probable dangers to this northern forest is that invasive (侵入的) insects are more easily able to spread because of milder, shorter winters. “Insects that previously were limited to the more southern parts are now moving into these colder areas of the Northeast, just with a tiny increase in winter minimum temperatures,” Welz notes. “They’re having massive effects on these woodlands.”
Fortunately, there are many ways people and politicians can act to reduce the use of oil, coal and other fossil fuels, which remain the primary drivers of global warming. There are also ways to repair many of the already hurt ecosystems. One example is New York’s Adirondack Park, which has grown a lot wilder over the last century. Locals, environmentalists and government scientists created policies to protect wilderness areas and wildlife habitat from development. Along the way they made the park far more able to deal with climate change.
“This is a much more diverse and stable system than it was a hundred years ago because of these efforts to protect certain areas and allow wild species to reestablish themselves,” Welz says. He hopes more people will connect to wild places like this, not only because they’re beautiful and hopeful, but also because we need to remember our dependence on the natural world for basic needs like food and water.
8. In which aspect does Welz benefit from visiting the park?
A. Sharpening his five senses.
B. Becoming an old-school naturalist.
C. Improving both his physical and mental health.
D. Having a clearer understanding of climate change.
9. What is a probable danger to the northern forest according to paragraph 3?
A. Milder and shorter winter periods.
B. Easier spread of non-native insects.
C. Quicker disappearance of the woodlands.
D. Continuous low temperatures in winter.
10. Why is Adirondack Park mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To prove human efforts effective.
B. To praise the local government’s policies.
C. To explain how the park has grown a lot wilder.
D. To show how the park deals with climate change.
11. Which word best describes Welz’s opinion on the park now?
A. Interested. B. Worried. C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了博物学家韦尔兹探访美国阿迪朗达克公园,从荒野体验中明晰气候变化,该北方森林受暖冬影响面临入侵昆虫威胁,而公园经多方保护生态更稳定,成修复生态范例,他也呼吁人们走近荒野、铭记对自然的依赖。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The experience of wildness helps him think more clearly about climate and humans’ contribution to global warming.( 这种对野生环境的体验有助于他更清晰地思考气候问题以及人类对全球变暖所做出的贡献。)”可知,韦尔兹探访荒野的经历,让他能更清晰地理解气候变化以及人类对全球变暖的影响,这是他从探访公园中获得的直接益处。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of the probable dangers to this northern forest is that invasive (侵入的)insects are more easily able to spread because of milder, shorter winters.( 这片北部森林可能面临的潜在危险之一是,由于冬季变得更温和、更短暂,入侵性昆虫更容易传播。)”可知,北方森林面临的潜在威胁是,外来入侵昆虫因冬季更温和、更短暂而更容易传播,这是原文明确表述的核心危险。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“There are also ways to repair many of the already hurt ecosystems. One example is New York’s Adirondack Park, which has grown a lot wilder over the last century. Locals, environmentalists and government scientists created policies to protect wilderness areas and wildlife habitat from development. Along the way they made the park far more able to deal with climate change.( 还有办法可以修复许多已经受损的生态系统。其中一个例子是纽约州的阿迪朗达克公园,该公园在过去的一个世纪里变得愈发荒野化。当地居民、环保人士和政府科学家制定了保护荒野区域和野生动植物栖息地免受开发影响的政策。在此过程中,他们使公园在应对气候变化方面的能力大大增强。)”可知,本段先提出“人类可以采取措施修复受损生态系统”的观点,随后以阿迪朗达克公园为例子,说明当地通过制定保护政策,让公园更具应对气候变化的能力,核心目的是证明人类的保护努力是有效的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is a much more diverse and stable system than it was a hundred years ago because of these efforts to protect certain areas and allow wild species to reestablish themselves,” Welz says. He hopes more people will connect to wild places like this, not only because they’re beautiful and hopeful, but also because we need to remember our dependence on the natural world for basic needs like food and water.( 韦尔兹说:“由于这些保护特定区域和让野生物种重新繁衍的举措,这个系统比一百年前更加多样化和稳定了。因为这些努力,这片公园能够更好地应对气候变化。” 他希望更多的人能与这样的自然之地建立联系,不仅是因为它们美丽且充满希望,还因为我们需要记住我们对自然界的依赖,比如获取食物和水等基本需求。)”可知,韦尔兹评价如今的公园相比百年前,生态系统更具多样性和稳定性,还认为这个公园“美丽且充满希望”,并希望更多人走进它,可见他对现在的公园状况是满意的。故选C项。
D
While in space, fluid-filled areas in the brains of astronauts fit in with microgravity by expanding (扩大). But after a space task, these structures might take three years to go back to normal, researchers report.
At the brain’s center sit four ventricles (脑室) filled with liquid that protects the organ and clears out waste. But with little gravity in space, fluids increase in an astronaut’s head. So the ventricles take in more fluid and expand, says space scientist Rachael Seidler of the University of Florida.
Researchers knew that astronauts often return to Earth with enlarged ventricles. But Seidler and colleagues wanted to see if time spent in space or time between two flights affects how much the brain changes during a space task.
The team examined MRI (核磁共振) brain scans of 30 astronauts from before and after one of each astronaut’s tasks. Results showed that the longer the task, the more the ventricles seemed to expand. While two-week trips left a minimal mark on ventricles, 6 and 12-month missions resulted in more discernible enlargement. The two longer periods led to similar amounts of expansion, suggesting the expanding slows after six months in space.
For the 18 astronauts who had flown before, time between tasks also made a difference. In those who last visited space three to nine years before, their ventricles expanded during the task. But ventricles grew little to none in astronauts whose last spaceflight took place less than three years before, which suggests their brains may not have had enough time between tasks to fully recover, the scientists say.
“I’m glad that the researchers are looking at this question,” says neuroradiologist Donna Roberts of the Medical University of South Carolina. “There are so many variables that could play into the brain changes that we’re seeing.” Spaceflight’s effects on the brain are even more pressing now that NASA aims to send people to Mars, which could be a two-year round trip, she notes. “Everybody talks about the rocket technology to get to Mars, but the humans are the real difficult task.”
12. What happens to their brains when astronauts go into space?
A. Their waste increases.
B. Their liquid flows faster.
C. Their memory areas expand.
D. Their ventricles become larger.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discernible” in paragraph 4?
A. Acceptable. B. Controllable. C. Noticeable. D. Dependable.
14. What does Donna think of sending people to Mars?
A. It’s pressing. B. It makes her glad.
C. It’s challenging. D. It has proven technology.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Human brains function better in microgravity
B. Astronauts need longer time between flights
C. Spaceflights become more popular and pressing
D. Space exploration faces technological challenges
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现宇航员太空受微重力影响脑室会扩大,任务越久扩大越明显且六月后增速放缓,脑室恢复需三年,短于三年复飞则几乎不再扩大,这为火星载人飞行提出挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While in space, fluid-filled areas in the brains of astronauts fit in with microgravity by expanding (扩大).( 在太空环境中,宇航员大脑中的液体区域会因微重力作用而膨胀。)”以及第二段“At the brain’s center sit four ventricles (脑室) filled with liquid that protects the organ and clears out waste. But with little gravity in space, fluids increase in an astronaut’s head. So the ventricles take in more fluid and expand, says space scientist Rachael Seidler of the University of Florida.( 大脑的中心有四个充满液体的腔室,这些液体负责保护大脑并清除废物。但在太空中,由于重力微弱,宇航员头部的液体会增多。因此,这些腔室会吸收更多的液体并膨胀,佛罗里达大学的太空科学家拉切尔·塞德勒如是说。)”可知,宇航员进入太空后,由于微重力环境,大脑中充满液体的脑室会吸收更多液体并扩大。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Results showed that the longer the task, the more the ventricles seemed to expand.( 结果显示,任务持续时间越长,脑室似乎膨胀得越明显。)”以及划线单词句中“While two-week trips left a minimal mark on ventricles, 6 and 12-month missions resulted in more…enlargement.( 两周的行程对脑室的影响很小,而 6 个月和 12 个月的任务则导致更……扩张。)”可知,划线词前后形成对比——两周的太空旅行对脑室几乎没有影响(minimal mark),而6个月和 12 个月的任务会导致“更……的扩大”,对比逻辑可推断,划线词应与“minimal(微小的、不明显的)”相反,表“明显的”。C 项Noticeable“明显的”符合语境。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Spaceflight’s effects on the brain are even more pressing now that NASA aims to send people to Mars, which could be a two-year round trip, she notes. “Everybody talks about the rocket technology to get to Mars, but the humans are the real difficult task.”(她指出,随着美国国家航空航天局计划将人类送往火星(往返行程可能长达两年),太空飞行对大脑影响变得更加紧迫。她补充道:“人们都在谈论前往火星的火箭技术,但人类才是真正的艰巨任务。”)”可知,唐娜指出,NASA 计划送人类去火星(往返可能需要两年),而太空飞行对大脑的影响尚未完全明确,且“人类才是真正的难题”,可见她认为送人类去火星是具有挑战性的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章核心研究发现有两个:1.太空任务时间越长,宇航员脑室扩大越明显;2.两次太空飞行间隔不足三年的宇航员,脑室几乎不再扩大,说明大脑未完全恢复。全文围绕“太空飞行对宇航员大脑的影响”展开,核心呼吁/结论是“宇航员需要更长的飞行间隔时间以让大脑恢复”。B 项“宇航员需要更长的飞行间隔时间”贴合主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选B项。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Nowadays, students are faced with lots of challenges, of which the biggest one probably is managing their time. They just have so much to learn and their time is so limited.(如今,学生们面临着诸多挑战,其中最大的挑战或许就是如何合理安排时间。他们需要学习的内容太多,而可用的时间又如此有限)”可知,第一段总起,引出下文建议:如果你是为时间管理苦恼的学生,继续往下读。故E选项“如果你是那些在时间管理方面遇到困难的学生,请继续阅读”符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Just like a full-time career, to be successful may require 8 hours each day. This still leaves 16 hours each day for sleep, sports, clubs, social and other activities.(就像一份全职工作一样,要想取得成功可能需要每天工作8个小时。这样还剩下每天16个小时用于睡眠、运动、参加社团活动、社交以及其他活动)”以及本段主题是把上学当作一份工作来对待,对应 C选项中“上学是他们的首要任务”。故C选项“如果学生是全日制注册学生,学校就是他们的主要职责所在”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Students need to prepare for and attend all their classes. Meanwhile, they also need to spend some time each week learning new things. So they are supposed to work on their courses regularly, at a time when their concentration is best and in a place where they won’t be disturbed.(学生们需要提前准备并参加所有的课程。同时,他们每周还需要花些时间学习新知识。因此,他们应该定期专注于自己的课程学习,选择自己注意力最集中的时间段,并在不会被打扰的地方进行学习)”可知,后文讲“提前准备并参加他们的所有课程/定期学习他们的课程内容”,对应每周花时间在每门课程上。故B选项“每周分配时间用于每门课程”符合语境,故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Plan each week and term. Students should have their own goals. But just having a goal is not enough.( 每周和每学期制定计划。学生们应当有自己的目标。但仅仅有目标是不够的)”可知,本段主题是“每周和每学期制定计划”,前句说“光有目标不够”,G选项讲要制定计划实现目标,完美衔接。故G选项“成功的学生会制定一个计划,以增加实现其目标的可能性”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Seek out support services. Students need to take responsibility for their learning but this does not mean doing everything on their own.(寻求帮助。学生需要对自己的学习负责,但这并不意味着要独自完成所有事情)”可知,本段主题是“寻求帮助”,对应 D选项“知道如何寻找并寻求帮助”。故D选项“独立学习的学生应当知道如何寻找并寻求帮助”符合语境,故选D。

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
There are countless rankings (排名) of difficult languages to learn. Now, we are talking about second-language learning here, not learning one’s native tongue. Some such rankings are ____36____ (official), like the Accreditedonlinecolleges.com ranking; others are official, for example, the DLI classification ____37____ (base) on the number of hours needed to achieve a certain level.
The top spot in all these rankings ____38____ (give) to Chinese: Accreditedonlinecolleges.com lists Mandarin and Cantonese ____39____ (separate) as No.1 and No.2; the DLI classification includes Chinese in the most difficult group IV, ____40____Arabic, Japanese and Korean are also listed. But what are the main ____41____ (difficult) in learning Chinese? In addition to ____42____ unfamiliar writing system and many dialects, Chinese is difficult to learn because of the “exotic” sounds it has and especially its tone (声调) system. There are four tones in Mandarin and six tones in Cantonese.
Besides, one other language in one of those lists of difficult-to-learn languages ____43____ (be) Icelandic. It is certainly true that many Icelandic phonemes (音素) don’t have exact English equivalents. Other challenges of Icelandic lie ____44____ its vocabulary and grammar. Icelandic is one of the most conservative North Germanic languages, and it is undoubtedly much ____45____ (close) to English, which makes it rather easier for an English speaker to learn.
【答案】36. unofficial
37. based 38. is given
39. separately
40. where 41. difficulties
42. an 43. is
44. in 45. closer
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了各类外语学习难度排名中,汉语稳居最难学语言榜首的原因,同时也提及冰岛语虽被列为难学语言,但对英语使用者而言学习难度更低的特点。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:一些此类排名是非官方的,比如在线认证学院的排名;另一些则是官方的,例如基于达到一定水平所需学习时长的国防语言学院分类法。根据后句“others are official”的对比可知,此处表示“非官方的”,需将名词official转换为反义词unofficial,作表语。故填unofficial。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一些此类排名是非官方的,比如在线认证学院的排名;另一些则是官方的,例如基于达到一定水平所需学习时长的国防语言学院分类法。此处为非谓语动词作定语,be based on为固定搭配,意为“基于……”,应用过去分词形式based。故填based。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:所有这些排名的榜首都被授予了汉语。本句描述客观事实,应用一般现在时;主语The top spot与give之间为被动关系,意为“被授予”,且主语为单数,故用一般现在时的被动语态is given。故填is given。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:在线认证学院将普通话和粤语分别列为第一名和第二名。此处修饰动词lists,应用副词作状语,将形容词separate转换为副词separately,意为“分别地”。故填separately。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:国防语言学院的分类将汉语归入最难的第四类,阿拉伯语、日语和韩语也被列入该类别。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是group IV,指抽象的地点范畴,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:但学习汉语的主要困难是什么呢?形容词main后接名词,且根据系动词are可知,此处应用名词的复数形式,将形容词difficult转换为名词difficulties,意为“困难之处”。故填difficulties。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:除了一套陌生的书写体系和众多方言外,汉语难学还因为它有着“独特的”发音,尤其是其声调体系。writing system为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一套陌生的书写体系”,为泛指;且unfamiliar是以元音音素开头的单词,故用不定冠词an。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致和时态。句意:此外,这些最难学语言榜单中还有一种语言是冰岛语。本句描述客观事实,应用一般现在时;主语one other language为单数,故be动词用is。故填is。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:冰岛语的其他学习难点在于其词汇和语法。lie in为固定搭配,意为“在于”,故此处用介词in。故填in。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:冰岛语是最保守的北日耳曼语支之一,而且它无疑与英语的联系紧密得多,这让英语使用者学习它变得相当容易。根据空前的much和句意可知,此处表示比较含义,需将形容词close转换为比较级closer,much用来修饰比较级加强语气。故填closer。

【答案】One possible version:
It’s a disturbing fact that fewer and fewer students can speak their dialect fluently. According to some linguists, some dialects will die out after a generation or two, which raised my great concern.
In my opinion, a dialect is an essential part of local culture, which is local residents’ cultural identity. If you can say a local expression, it can immediately close the distance between locals. In terms of the dialect itself, some expressions actually do not exist in Mandarin, nor does the pronunciation of some words. But they are precious heritage of local culture. Therefore, it’s urgent for us to save dialects.

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 used to be very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I won the B Division long jump and was a good sprinter (短跑运动员). As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet. Before the sports meet, I had put in a lot of hard work and dedication during the training sessions. I woke up early every morning to go for runs and did countless drills to improve my technique. My teammates and I supported and encouraged each other during training, pushing ourselves to do better and achieve our goals.
The meet lasted two days, I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete. Large tents were provided for the young competitors on one side of the track. Despite being assigned the last tent that was furthest from the track, I made the best of the situation by decorating it with our school colors and creating a supportive atmosphere.
The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 8×50m relay later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was vastly outclassed. We finished our jumps, and I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8×50m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race date arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I watched nervously and excitedly as my team runners kept up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place.
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。
My turn arrived and I took the baton (接力棒) cleanly and began my run.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As a result, I left the meet empty-handed.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
My turn arrived and I took the baton (接力棒) cleanly and began my run. The air rushed past me as I moved closer to the next runner. Then disaster struck! I saw a boy run across the track into my path out of nowhere. I couldn’t get away from him fast enough. We were sent somersaulting over him after colliding with a crunch. Because I was young and agile, I was able to quickly pick myself up and continue the race. However, the collision cost us valuable time. I handed the baton to the next runner. I knew everything was lost when he ran with all his might, but it was too late. We’d blown our chance at a medal.
As a result, I left the meet empty-handed. As a result, we just assumed it was bad luck. I, for one, felt terrible for letting the team down, but what was done was done, and we had no choice but to accept it. Anyway, it had been an eventful but unsatisfying day for me. And I learned about failure and success and how to deal with them, and I am grateful for the lessons.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者小学的时候非常积极地参加体育和比赛,因此被选中代表学校参加地区运动会的单人跳和接力赛。比赛当天,作者单人跳只获得了第四名,无缘奖牌。而接力赛上又因为突发状况也错失奖牌。通过这次经历,作者学到了失败和成功以及如何应对它们,并很感激这些教训。

Most of us probably don’t give a second thought to sitting down at our kitchen table but for some, that is not routine. John Michael Stagliano had just finished furnishing an apartment in Goose Creek, South Carolina, for a veteran (退伍军人) through his nonprofit, HomeAgain, when the veteran texted to thank him.
“They were perhaps the most powerful words I had ever read,” says John. “It turned out that his spirits had been extremely low. He believed he was forgotten in this world. An empty apartment was a metaphor (隐喻) for his life. He was on the edge of breaking down in those days. Maybe it was the furniture, or perhaps it was knowing there were people who cared that made the difference.” “I see the world through a different prism now,” John adds. “I never knew the impact that a simple couch or kitchen table could have. Furniture can restore the dignity of a family.”
Recalling the story brings a big smile to John’s face. That’s because this first-year computer science major student gains joy from helping others — something he’s been doing for most of his young life. His sister, Katie Stagliano, founded Katie’s Krops, a nonprofit growing vegetables and fruits to help people struggling with hunger. And John credits his sister with inspiring him toward a path of service, which began at the age of 4.
When not studying, John manages the countless duties to run the nonprofit organization he established in his hometown at the age of 12. With donations and a group of volunteers, HomeAgain helps individuals and families by providing them with furnishings and housewares for their new places — nearly 600 people now.
“With every move-in, I have changed,” he says. “I’ve found self-confidence and a realization that we all need to know that someone cares. For people who have lived in and out of shelters, to be home again is a victory, a sense of peace and something to be celebrated.”
4. Why did the veteran thank John?
A. John rented an apartment for him.
B. John sent furniture to him for nothing.
C. John helped him move to a new place.
D. John told him that people cared about him.
5. What contributes most to John’s choice to serve others?
A. His sister’s influence. B. The joy from helping others.
C. People struggling with hunger. D. Some powerful words he read.
6. How does John like his nonprofit experience?
A. Challenging. B. Inspiring. C. Worthwhile. D. Troublesome.
7. What message does the text want to deliver?
A. Kindness is a choice. B. Education begins a gentleman.
C. Success is no accident. D. Home is a shelter from storms.

On a cold morning this fall,Adam Welz went through chest high grass in New York state’s Adirondack Park, pausing often to watch with his binoculars (双筒望远镜) and listen. The 6-million-acreAdirondack Park is one of the wildest places in the eastern United States.
Welz, who lives in South Africa and spent years in New York, describes himself as an old-school naturalist who likes to dive into places full of living things. Smelling them, hearing them and accessing them are his approaches to understanding the wild world. The experience of wildness helps him think more clearly about climate and humans’ contribution to global warming.
One of the probable dangers to this northern forest is that invasive (侵入的) insects are more easily able to spread because of milder, shorter winters. “Insects that previously were limited to the more southern parts are now moving into these colder areas of the Northeast, just with a tiny increase in winter minimum temperatures,” Welz notes. “They’re having massive effects on these woodlands.”
Fortunately, there are many ways people and politicians can act to reduce the use of oil, coal and other fossil fuels, which remain the primary drivers of global warming. There are also ways to repair many of the already hurt ecosystems. One example is New York’s Adirondack Park, which has grown a lot wilder over the last century. Locals, environmentalists and government scientists created policies to protect wilderness areas and wildlife habitat from development. Along the way they made the park far more able to deal with climate change.
“This is a much more diverse and stable system than it was a hundred years ago because of these efforts to protect certain areas and allow wild species to reestablish themselves,” Welz says. He hopes more people will connect to wild places like this, not only because they’re beautiful and hopeful, but also because we need to remember our dependence on the natural world for basic needs like food and water.
8. In which aspect does Welz benefit from visiting the park?
A. Sharpening his five senses.
B. Becoming an old-school naturalist.
C. Improving both his physical and mental health.
D. Having a clearer understanding of climate change.
9. What is a probable danger to the northern forest according to paragraph 3?
A. Milder and shorter winter periods.
B. Easier spread of non-native insects.
C. Quicker disappearance of the woodlands.
D. Continuous low temperatures in winter.
10. Why is Adirondack Park mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To prove human efforts effective.
B. To praise the local government’s policies.
C. To explain how the park has grown a lot wilder.
D. To show how the park deals with climate change.
11. Which word best describes Welz’s opinion on the park now?
A. Interested. B. Worried. C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.
D
While in space, fluid-filled areas in the brains of astronauts fit in with microgravity by expanding (扩大). But after a space task, these structures might take three years to go back to normal, researchers report.
At the brain’s center sit four ventricles (脑室) filled with liquid that protects the organ and clears out waste. But with little gravity in space, fluids increase in an astronaut’s head. So the ventricles take in more fluid and expand, says space scientist Rachael Seidler of the University of Florida.
Researchers knew that astronauts often return to Earth with enlarged ventricles. But Seidler and colleagues wanted to see if time spent in space or time between two flights affects how much the brain changes during a space task.
The team examined MRI (核磁共振) brain scans of 30 astronauts from before and after one of each astronaut’s tasks. Results showed that the longer the task, the more the ventricles seemed to expand. While two-week trips left a minimal mark on ventricles, 6 and 12-month missions resulted in more discernible enlargement. The two longer periods led to similar amounts of expansion, suggesting the expanding slows after six months in space.
For the 18 astronauts who had flown before, time between tasks also made a difference. In those who last visited space three to nine years before, their ventricles expanded during the task. But ventricles grew little to none in astronauts whose last spaceflight took place less than three years before, which suggests their brains may not have had enough time between tasks to fully recover, the scientists say.
“I’m glad that the researchers are looking at this question,” says neuroradiologist Donna Roberts of the Medical University of South Carolina. “There are so many variables that could play into the brain changes that we’re seeing.” Spaceflight’s effects on the brain are even more pressing now that NASA aims to send people to Mars, which could be a two-year round trip, she notes. “Everybody talks about the rocket technology to get to Mars, but the humans are the real difficult task.”
12. What happens to their brains when astronauts go into space?
A. Their waste increases.
B. Their liquid flows faster.
C Their memory areas expand.
D. Their ventricles become larger.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discernible” in paragraph 4?
A. Acceptable. B. Controllable. C. Noticeable. D. Dependable.

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 used to be very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I won the B Division long jump and was a good sprinter (短跑运动员). As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet. Before the sports meet, I had put in a lot of hard work and dedication during the training sessions. I woke up early every morning to go for runs and did countless drills to improve my technique. My teammates and I supported and encouraged each other during training, pushing ourselves to do better and achieve our goals.
The meet lasted two days, I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete. Large tents were provided for the young competitors on one side of the track. Despite being assigned the last tent that was furthest from the track, I made the best of the situation by decorating it with our school colors and creating a supportive atmosphere.
The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 8×50m relay later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was vastly outclassed. We finished our jumps, and I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8×50m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race date arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I watched nervously and excitedly as my team runners kept up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place.
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。
My turn arrived and I took the baton (接力棒) cleanly and began my run.

As a result, I left the meet empty-handed.
