As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains. Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition (远征), I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland (格陵兰岛). At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather. It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica (南极洲). I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed. When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe. When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that. 4. Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey? A. To show her abilities. B. To escape her everyday life. C. To explore a remote area. D. To meet an experienced team. 5. What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Flexible. B. Realistic. C. Athletic. D. Accessible. 6. What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition? A. She braved the physical challenges. B. She enjoyed the landscape most. C. She gained several survival skills. D. She adapted to the environment soon. 7. What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji? A. She was ready for a new task. B. She made his expectations come true. C. She was worthy of what she achieved. D. She did more than he believed possible. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小热爱极地探险，14岁时为滑雪穿越格陵兰岛做准备，15岁决定前往南极洲，21岁踏上南极探险之旅的经历，展现了她追求梦想、勇敢挑战的精神。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable.(但我必须先去挪威北部的芬马克郡进行一次探险，以证明我有能力)”可知，作者去芬马克郡旅行是为了展示自己的能力。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic.(起初我没有告诉妈妈我的计划。我只告诉了爸爸，他和我一样，是个充满梦想的人。我妈妈更……)”，通过对比爸爸充满梦想，可推测妈妈更加现实，所以“pragmatic”意思是“现实的”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe.(在最艰难的日子里，我深陷齐膝深的新雪中，10个小时只能前进9.5公里。快到终点时，我的肺部疼痛，呼吸困难)”可知，作者在南极探险期间勇敢地应对了身体上的挑战。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg.(当我穿越格陵兰岛时，拉尔斯给我起了个绰号叫“极地蛋”。意思是有一天我会破壳而出，独自进行一次更大的探险。当我到达南极时，我给他发了一个小鸡破壳而出的表情符号)”可知，作者发送这个表情符号是想告诉拉尔斯，她实现了他的期望。故选B项。 C A Washington State University study showed that being exposed to even small amounts of available green and blue space may improve older adults’ mental and physical health. Published in the journal Health & Place, the study is based on health survey data from more than 42,000 people aged 65 and older living in urban areas of Washington State between 2011 and 2019. Participants completed the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), which asked about their general health, mental health, and levels of psychological distress (困扰). Lead author Adithya Vegaraju and his coworker, Solmaz Amiri, then analyzed the responses. Nearly 2% of respondents showed signs of serious psychological distress, and 19% reported being in fair or poor general health. The researchers presented initial findings for this study at an American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in April 2023. Those findings looked only at the relationship between serious psychological distress and distance to the closest green and blue space. In the final published version (版本) of their study, the researchers looked at the amount of green space, forest area and open space in people’s neighborhoods. They also studied how these were linked to people’s self-rated health and took into account differences such as race and education level. They found that a 10% increase in green and blue space lowered the chance that older people would report their general health as poor or fair. Although other studies have looked at how being close to nature might affect health, Vegaraju said this is one of the first to focus on older adults in America. Older people are more likely to have mental health problems, which can raise the risk of memory loss and dementia (痴呆). They are also less likely to receive treatment to manage their mental health conditions, which concerns researchers much. “If exposure to green or blue space could help prevent, slow down or even treat poor mental health in older adults, we need to look at that more closely as a way to improve mental health outcomes in this population,” Vegaraju said. One potential solution could involve nature prescriptions (处方), a growing practice that involves healthcare providers giving patients written recommendations to spend time outdoors. 8. What can we learn from the BRFSS data about older people? A. They preferred indoor activities. B. They disliked urban water bodies. C. Around one-fifth of them had health problems. D. Half of them showed psychological distress. 9. How did the final version of the study differ from the initial one? A. It considered more factors. B. It ignored self-assessment. C. It used fewer respondents. D. It focused on emotional problems. 10. What is one reason that senior’ mental health issues are worrying? A. They hardly recover after treatment. B. They seldom seek professional help. C. They often avoid nature prescriptions. D. They always have trouble thinking. 11. Which of the following might Vegaraju advise older adults to do? A. See doctors soon after they are ill. B. Gather many resources from nature. C. Follow diverse popular health practices. D. Increase outdoor time for better health. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍华盛顿州立大学的研究，说明接触少量绿色和蓝色空间可能改善老年人身心健康及相关研究细节。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Participants completed the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), which asked about their general health, mental health, and levels of psychological distress (困扰). Lead author Adithya Vegaraju and his coworker, Solmaz Amiri, then analyzed the responses. Nearly 2% of respondents showed signs of serious psychological distress, and 19% reported being in fair or poor general health.(参与者完成了行为风险因素监测调查，该调查询问了他们的总体健康状况、心理健康状况和心理困扰程度。主要作者阿迪提亚·维加拉朱和他的同事索尔马兹·阿米里随后分析了这些回答。近2%的受访者表现出严重心理困扰的迹象，19%的受访者表示总体健康状况一般或较差)”可知，从该调查数据中我们可以了解到，大约五分之一（19%接近五分之一）的老年人存在健康问题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers presented initial findings for this study at an American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in April 2023. Those findings looked only at the relationship between serious psychological distress and distance to the closest green and blue space. In the final published version (版本) of their study, the researchers looked at the amount of green space, forest area and open space in people’s neighborhoods. They also studied how these were linked to people’s self-rated health and took into account differences such as race and education level.(研究人员在2023年4月的美国神经学会年会上展示了这项研究的初步发现。这些发现只关注了严重心理困扰与最近的绿色和蓝色空间距离之间的关系。在研究的最终发表版本中，研究人员观察了人们社区内的绿色空间、森林面积和开放空间的数量。他们还研究了这些与人们自我评估健康状况的关联，并考虑了种族和教育水平等差异)”可知，该研究的最终版本与初步版本的不同之处在于，它考虑了更多的因素。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They are also less likely to receive treatment to manage their mental health conditions, which concerns researchers much.(他们也不太可能接受治疗来管理自己的心理健康状况，这让研究人员非常担忧)”可知，老年人心理健康问题令人担忧的一个原因是他们很少寻求专业的帮助。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If exposure to green or blue space could help prevent, slow down or even treat poor mental health in older adults, we need to look at that more closely as a way to improve mental health outcomes in this population,” Vegaraju said. One potential solution could involve nature prescriptions (处方), a growing practice that involves healthcare providers giving patients written recommendations to spend time outdoors.(维加拉朱说：“如果接触绿色或蓝色空间有助于预防、减缓甚至治疗老年人的心理健康不佳问题，我们需要更密切地关注这一点，将其作为改善这一人群心理健康结果的一种方式。”一个潜在的解决方案可能涉及自然处方，这是一种日益普遍的做法，即医疗服务提供者给患者书面建议，让他们花时间在户外)”可推断，维加拉朱可能会建议老年人增加户外时间以获得更好的健康。故选D项。 D Reading, for children, is similar to adventure. The idea of inspiring children’s playful nature dates back to the publication of Lewis Carroll’ s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (爱丽丝梦游仙境) in 1865. Alice’s playful exploration of Wonderland drives the story. There are no clear moral values taught in the book, making it a playground for children to engage with their wildest imagination. This book is often recognized as the one that marked the end of the era (时代) of moralism in children’s literature, bringing in a new era where authors began producing entertaining children’s books. The idea of “reading as play” doesn’t need text and illustrations to perfectly match; in fact, when the pictures only mirror what the text narrates, the experience is less intense than when there are gaps between those two elements. British illustrator and writer Pat Hutchins’s Rosie’s Walk from 1968, for example, presents two different stories. While the text describes a simple walk taken by Rosie the hen, the illustrations tell the additional story of a fox’s failed attempts to catch Rosie throughout her walk. This parallel (平行的) storytelling is hard to achieve with words alone. Similarly, in Where the Wild Things Are by American author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, the text slowly disappears as the images continue expanding, offering a playful space for the readers to explore the main character’s emotional journey. The lack of directing words allows the young readers to create their own engagement with the characters. Wordless picture books are a relatively new style in children’s literature. The removal of words makes it easier to convey (表达) difficult, unspeakable things. In Yellow Butterfly, a wordless picture book by Ukrainian illustrator Oleksandr Shatokhin, war is seen through the eyes of a young girl who finds hope in the symbolism of yellow butterflies (蝴蝶). Without words, children can interpret and connect with the story in their own way. The language gap is also broken, allowing kids from anywhere to understand and own the story. 12. What is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland known for in children’s literature? A. Using images in storytelling. B. Pioneering the theme of adventure. C. Shifting from moral lessons to fun stories. D. Centering on realism and personal growth. 13. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of “reading as play”? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 14. What is an advantage of wordless picture books? A. They allow children to read faster. B. They present complex topics more easily. C They save the author from writing text. D. They help improve children’s drawing skills. 15. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. The secrets of wordless books B. An exploration of literary texts C. A playground between words and images D. The power of entertainment in children’s literature 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述了儿童阅读如同冒险这一观点，以《爱丽丝梦游仙境》引出儿童文学从注重道德教化到强调趣味性的转变，介绍“阅读即玩耍”理念下文字与插图关系，并说明无字图画书在儿童文学中的特点与优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This book is often recognized as the one that marked the end of the era (时代) of moralism in children’s literature, bringing in a new era where authors began producing entertaining children’s books.(这本书常被视作标志着儿童文学道德主义时代终结的作品，开启了一个新的时代，在这个时代作家们开始创作充满趣味的儿童书籍)”可知，《爱丽丝梦游仙境》在儿童文学领域以从道德说教向有趣故事的转变而闻名。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The idea of “reading as play” doesn’t need text and illustrations to perfectly match; in fact, when the pictures only mirror what the text narrates, the experience is less intense than when there are gaps between those two elements.(“阅读即玩耍”这一理念并不要求文字与插图完美匹配；事实上，当图片仅仅反映文字所叙述的内容时，其阅读体验不如二者存在差异时那般强烈)”以及作者通过列举《罗西的散步》和《野兽国》这两个例子，进一步说明该理念能为读者提供有趣的探索空间，作者对此持支持态度。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The removal of words makes it easier to convey (表达) difficult, unspeakable things.(去掉文字使得传达难以表述的、复杂的事物变得更为容易)”可知，无字图画书的一个优势在于它们能更轻松地呈现复杂主题。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕儿童文学展开，论述了文字与图像之间的关系，包括“阅读即玩耍”理念下文字与插图的相互作用，以及无字图画书这种文字与图像特殊结合形式的特点与意义，就如同文字与图像之间形成了一个供孩子们探索的“游乐场”。所以C选项“A playground between words and images (文字与图像间的游乐场)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You sit on your sofa, looking through your newsfeed, when suddenly hunger hits. Rather than checking your fridge, you open a food delivery app and order a meal. ___16___ Cooking at home is much healthier than eating out or ordering food online. When you cook for yourself, you have better control over the ingredients, which can lead to greater benefits like boosted energy levels and improved sleep. ___17___ The problem with the American diet is that people are depending more on store-bought food, which is usually higher in calories and lower in nutritional value. Some argue that ordering food saves time, and that time is money, so buying a takeout is saving money, right? However, that is far from the case. ___18___ For example, a takeout pepperoni pizza (意大利香肠披萨) costs $15.49 on average, S24.25 for delivery, but only $9.90 to make at home. Additionally, many recipes for homemade pepperoni pizzas take only 20 minutes to make with the right preparations, offering a more cost-effective and more enjoyable meal. As food delivery has become increasingly accessible, many are less drawn to taking time out of their busy days to cook a proper meal. ___19___ Cooking has been proven to have mental health benefits. Research shows that cooking improves mental health, boosting confidence and leading to less anxiety. ___20___ A fundamental part of being an adult is having the ability to take care of yourself, whether physically or mentally: Cooking is a great remedy (方法) for both. A. This is a change people should start making now. B. The first step is to go out and get your hands dirty. C. Cooking at home is significantly cheaper than ordering a takeout. D. Additionally, you can track the nutritional value of your meals more effectively. E. Cooking food, however, is actually a great way to relax after a long day of working. F. While this has become common, people should try to take time to cook a quality meal. G. Learning how to cook is a vital life skill for high school students to transition into adulthood. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，聚焦现代人习惯点外卖而忽视自己做饭的现象，从更健康、更省钱、有益心理健康等角度阐述了在家做饭的好处，并强调做饭是成年人照顾身心的重要生活技能，旨在鼓励人们养成自己做饭的习惯。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You sit on your sofa, looking through your newsfeed, when suddenly hunger hits. Rather than checking your fridge, you open a food delivery app and order a meal.(你坐在沙发上刷动态，突然饿了，不看冰箱反而打开外卖软件点餐）”可知，空格处需要对这一现象进行转折，引出文章主题。F选项“While this has become common, people should try to take time to cook a quality meal.(虽然这已变得很普遍，但人们应该尽量花时间做一顿优质的饭)”承接上文场景，自然点出中心话题，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“When you cook for yourself, you have better control over the ingredients, which can lead to greater benefits like boosted energy levels and improved sleep.(自己做饭能更好地控制食材，带来提升精力、改善睡眠等好处)”可知，空格处需要继续补充在家做饭的优点。D选项“Additionally, you can track the nutritional value of your meals more effectively.(此外，你能更有效地掌握饭菜的营养价值)”与前文形成递进关系，进一步说明健康优势，符合语境。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“For example, a takeout pepperoni pizza costs $15.49 on average, $24.25 for delivery, but only $9.90 to make at home.(例如，外卖意大利香肠披萨平均15.49美元，配送后24.25美元，而在家做只需9.90美元)”可知，空格处需要概括本段核心：自己做饭更便宜。C选项“Cooking at home is significantly cheaper than ordering a takeout.(在家做饭比点外卖便宜得多)”总领全段，与后文例子高度契合，符合语境。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“As food delivery has become increasingly accessible, many are less drawn to taking time out of their busy days to cook a proper meal.(外卖越来越方便，很多人不愿从忙碌的日子里抽出时间好好做饭)”以及下文“Cooking has been proven to have mental health benefits.(做饭被证明对心理健康有益)”可知，空格处需要转折，说明做饭的心理好处。E选项“Cooking food, however, is actually a great way to relax after a long day of working.(然而，做饭其实是漫长工作后放松的好方式)”承上启下，引出心理健康的话题，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“A fundamental part of being an adult is having the ability to take care of yourself, whether physically or mentally: Cooking is a great remedy for both.(成年的核心能力之一就是照顾好自己，无论身体还是心理：做饭对两者都很好)”可知，空格处需要总结做饭对成长的意义。G选项“Learning how to cook is a vital life skill for high school students to transition into adulthood.(学习做饭是高中生过渡到成年人的一项重要生活技能)”点明主旨，与下文内容衔接紧密，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At just 13 years old, Madhvi Chittoor stands up for what she believes in: everyone has ____21____ to clean air, water, and soil.

These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they have something to worry about. Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and the cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the time of their studying so that they can learn the local language very quickly. You don’t know a lot of words and their real meanings until you use them with local people. Living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students, for it ensures them a family of living at a low cost. The advantages, however, have not prevented host families from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries. To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathrooms, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family activities. It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity for language travel students. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Host family accommodation appeals to language travel students but worries host families. It offers language practice, cultural experience and lower costs. Yet it is losing appeal due to less communication and higher service demands. Host families are improving services to keep students. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说寄宿家庭住宿方式对语言学习旅行的学生很有吸引力，但令寄宿家庭感到担忧。它能提供语言实践、文化体验以及更低的费用。然而，由于交流减少和服务需求提高，这种方式的吸引力正在下降。寄宿家庭正在改进服务以留住学生。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they have something to worry about. ②Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and the cost of living.

B Growing up in Norway (挪威), I had heard a lot about polar exploration. As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains. Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition (远征), I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland (格陵兰岛). At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather. It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica (南极洲). I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed. When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe. When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that. 4. Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey? A. To show her abilities. B. To escape her everyday life. C. To explore a remote area. D. To meet an experienced team. 5. What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Flexible. B. Realistic. C. Athletic. D. Accessible. 6. What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition? A. She braved the physical challenges. B. She enjoyed the landscape most. C. She gained several survival skills. D. She adapted to the environment soon. 7. What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji? A. She was ready for a new task. B. She made his expectations come true. C. She was worthy of what she achieved. D. She did more than he believed possible. C A Washington State University study showed that being exposed to even small amounts of available green and blue space may improve older adults’ mental and physical health. Published in the journal Health & Place, the study is based on health survey data from more than 42,000 people aged 65 and older living in urban areas of Washington State between 2011 and 2019. Participants completed the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), which asked about their general health, mental health, and levels of psychological distress (困扰). Lead author Adithya Vegaraju and his coworker, Solmaz Amiri, then analyzed the responses. Nearly 2% of respondents showed signs of serious psychological distress, and 19% reported being in fair or poor general health. The researchers presented initial findings for this study at an American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in April 2023. Those findings looked only at the relationship between serious psychological distress and distance to the closest green and blue space. In the final published version (版本) of their study, the researchers looked at the amount of green space, forest area and open space in people’s neighborhoods. They also studied how these were linked to people’s self-rated health and took into account differences such as race and education level. They found that a 10% increase in green and blue space lowered the chance that older people would report their general health as poor or fair. Although other studies have looked at how being close to nature might affect health, Vegaraju said this is one of the first to focus on older adults in America. Older people are more likely to have mental health problems, which can raise the risk of memory loss and dementia (痴呆). They are also less likely to receive treatment to manage their mental health conditions, which concerns researchers much. “If exposure to green or blue space could help prevent slow down or even treat poor mental health in older adults, we need to look at that more closely as a way to improve mental health outcomes in this population,” Vegaraju said. One potential solution could involve nature prescriptions (处方), a growing practice that involves healthcare providers giving patients written recommendations to spend time outdoors. 8. What can we learn from the BRFSS data about older people? A. They preferred indoor activities. B. They disliked urban water bodies. C. Around one-fifth of them had health problems. D. Half of them showed psychological distress. 9. How did the final version of the study differ from the initial one? A. It considered more factors. B. It ignored self-assessment. C. It used fewer respondents. D. It focused on emotional problems. 10. What is one reason that senior’ mental health issues are worrying? A. They hardly recover after treatment. B. They seldom seek professional help. C. They often avoid nature prescriptions. D. They always have trouble thinking. 11. Which of the following might Vegaraju advise older adults to do? A. See doctors soon after they are ill. B. Gather many resources from nature. C. Follow diverse popular health practices. D. Increase outdoor time for better health. D Reading, for children, is similar to adventure. The idea of inspiring children’s playful nature dates back to the publication of Lewis Carroll’ s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (爱丽丝梦游仙境) in 1865. Alice’s playful exploration of Wonderland drives the story. There are no clear moral values taught in the book, making it a playground for children to engage with their wildest imagination. This book is often recognized as the one that marked the end of the era (时代) of moralism in children’s literature, bringing in a new era where authors began producing entertaining children’s books. The idea of “reading as play” doesn’t need text and illustrations to perfectly match; in fact, when the pictures only mirror what the text narrates, the experience is less intense than when there are gaps between those two elements. British illustrator and writer Pat Hutchins’s Rosie’s Walk from 1968, for example, presents two different stories. While the text describes a simple walk taken by Rosie the hen, the illustrations tell the additional story of a fox’s failed attempts to catch Rosie throughout her walk. This parallel (平行的) storytelling is hard to achieve with words alone. Similarly, in Where the Wild Things Are by American author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, the text slowly disappears as the images continue expanding, offering a playful space for the readers to explore the main character’s emotional journey. The lack of directing words allows the young readers to create their own engagement with the characters. Wordless picture books are a relatively new style in children’s literature. The removal of words makes it easier to convey (表达) difficult, unspeakable things. In Yellow Butterfly, a wordless picture book by Ukrainian illustrator Oleksandr Shatokhin, war is seen through the eyes of a young girl who finds hope in the symbolism of yellow butterflies (蝴蝶). Without words, children can interpret and connect with the story in their own way. The language gap is also broken, allowing kids from anywhere to understand and own the story. 12. What is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland known for in children’s literature? A. Using images in storytelling. B. Pioneering the theme of adventure. C. Shifting from moral lessons to fun stories. D. Centering on realism and personal growth. 13. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of “reading as play”? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 14. What is an advantage of wordless picture books? A. They allow children to read faster. B. They present complex topics more easily. C. They save the author from writing text. D.

These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they have something to worry about. Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and the cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the time of their studying so that they can learn the local language very quickly. You don’t know a lot of words and their real meanings until you use them with local people. Living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students, for it ensures them a family of living at a low cost. The advantages, however, have not prevented host families from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries. To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathrooms, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family activities. It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity for language travel students. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
