Today Monroe stands proud as a Sandhills Community College graduate, while Lameko will follow in her footsteps at graduation in May. A wish for a career (事业) in social work drove Monroe’s decision to enroll at (报读) Sandhills Community College in 2002. During her first year, she found out she was having a baby. Because of physical reasons, Monroe decided to unenroll. When her son Lameko was three, she found herself doing a physically demanding job in a factory. Deciding to better their lives, Monroe re-enrolled to get her degree in human service technology and general studies. After she graduated from Sandhills, Monroe went to UNC Pembroke for a degree in social work. Over the past 12 years, she has worked her way up and now serves at RHA Health Services, taking any chances to better herself through continuing education courses. Throughout childhood, Lameko watched his mom stop at nothing to achieve her educational and career dreams. Lameko began his time at Sandhills in 2021, working toward a degree in engineering. Their journey took an unexpected turn in 2022 when Monroe faced a huge health challenge. She kept her health condition hidden, wanting her son to remain focused on his education. Through her strength and perseverance (毅力), Monroe became healthy about a year later. Lameko’s journey at Sandhills is equally impressive. Addressing challenges, including long rides to attend classes, Lameko’s perseverance mirrored his mother’s. With graduation just around the corner, Lameko reflects on their journey, “Work in silence and let your success make the noise.” Monroe advises students who may face challenges when working to achieve their education, “It’s going to be hard. But never give up. Through the hard journey, you are going to cry; all those tears (眼泪) are doing is simply making your plants grow well. In the end, your flower will open.” 4.

By doing physical activities. D. By developing a list of goals. 6. What impressed Lameko a lot about Monroe? A. Her focus on his studies. B. Her strength in engineering. C. Her encouragement to the sick. D. Her efforts to realize her dream. 7. What message does Monroe want to give students? A. Patience pays off. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Perseverance means victory. D. Failure is the mother of success. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Shemicka Monroe和她的儿子Lameko York二人共同追求高等教育的励志故事，展现了他们面对挑战时的坚韧与毅力，以及最终取得的成就。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When her son Lameko was three, she found herself doing a physically demanding job in a factory. Deciding to better their lives, Monroe re-enrolled to get her degree in human service technology and general studies.(当她的儿子Lameko三岁时，她发现自己在一家工厂从事着需要大量体力的工作。为了改善生活状况，Monroe重新入学，攻读人类服务技术及通识教育的学位。)”可知，当Lameko三岁的时候，Monroe的生活是艰难的，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Over the past 12 years, she has worked her way up and now serves at RHA Health Services, taking any chances to better herself through continuing education courses.(在过去的 12 年里，她一路努力奋进，如今她在 RHA 医疗服务中心工作，还利用一切机会参加继续教育课程，不断提升自己。)”可知，Monroe通过参加众多课程实现自我提升。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Throughout childhood, Lameko watched his mom stop at nothing to achieve her educational and career dreams.(在成长的整个过程中，Lameko目睹着母亲为了实现自己的教育和职业梦想不遗余力地努力。)”可知，Lameko对Monroe的印象最深刻的是她为实现梦想所付出的努力。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s going to be hard. But never give up. Through the hard journey, you are going to cry; all those tears (眼泪) are doing is simply making your plants grow well. In the end, your flower will open.(这条路会很艰难。但永远不要放弃。在这段艰难的旅程中，你可能会流泪；而这些泪水，不过是在滋养你的成长之苗。最终，你的花朵终将绽放。)”可知，Monroe想向学生们传达的信息是坚持不懈就意味着胜利。故选C。 C The fountain (喷泉) show of a famous hotel, on the Las Vegas Strip, attracts many visitors every day. But on Tuesday, March 5, this tradition had to be stopped for a unique guest. A yellow-billed loon, a bird not usually found on the mainland of the U.S., landed in the fountain. “We are happy to welcome the unique guest,” wrote the hotel team on Twitter. They then announced that the fountains had been stopped and that they were working with state wildlife officials to rescue the bird, which had “found comfort in our little lake.” It is extremely rare (罕见的) to see a yellow-billed loon in the Las Vegas area, as it usually makes its home in the Arctic and along the Pacific mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as “vulnerable” meaning it could be at risk of endangerment (受到危害) in the future, while the National Park Service (NPS) considers it to be one of the ten rarest birds that breed (繁殖) on the mainland of the United States, adding that about 20%-25% of the global population visits Alaska seasonally. “It’s an odd thing that it would come to the hotel’s fountains, where there are so many people,” said Kurt Buzard of the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. According to him, the yellow-billed loon is a younger bird that might have gotten lost while trying to travel north along the coast, where most yellow-billed loons travel. “It’s really off-course here. Very unusual to see a bird like that here.” At first, officials from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) decided it was best not to trouble the bird, giving it a day to work it out on its own. But when Wednesday came, they were worried about the absence of food the loon may face if it stayed there, so they caught the bird. Once they made sure it was unharmed and in good health, it was transported to the Wetlands, an area about 5 miles from the Strip, where it had plenty of food and water. 8. What happened to the fountain show on Tuesday? A. It was turned off because of an emergency. B. It had a special mix of music and lights. C. It drew a large number of visitors. D. It was canceled for repair work. 9. Why does the author mention IUCN and NPS in paragraph 3? A. To stress the yellow-billed loon’s rareness and survival situation. B. To discuss the yellow-billed loon’s living place preferences. C. To explain the yellow-billed loon’s seasonal visits to Alaska. D. To introduce the yellow-billed loon’s breeding models. 10. What does the underlined word “odd” in paragraph 4 mean? A Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Difficult. D. Natural. 11. What was the NDOW officials’ first reaction to the bird? A. To leave it alone. B. To inform its owner. C. To check its condition. D. To move it somewhere else. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是拉斯维加斯大道上一家著名酒店的喷泉表演因一只罕见黄嘴潜鸟的意外到访而暂停，酒店团队与野生动物保护部门合作对这只迷路的鸟进行救援，并最终将其安全转移至有充足食物和水的湿地保护区的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But on Tuesday, March 5, this tradition had to be stopped for a unique guest. A yellow-billed loon, a bird not usually found on the mainland of the U.S., landed in the fountain.(然而，在3月5日星期二，这一传统却因一位特殊的“客人”而暂停。一只黄嘴潜鸟——这种鸟通常不会出现在美国本土——落在了喷泉里。)”可知，周二的喷泉表演因紧急情况而关闭了。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It is extremely rare (罕见的) to see a yellow-billed loon in the Las Vegas area, as it usually makes its home in the Arctic and along the Pacific mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as “vulnerable” meaning it could be at risk of endangerment (受到危害) in the future, while the National Park Service (NPS) considers it to be one of the ten rarest birds that breed (繁殖) on the mainland of the United States, adding that about 20%-25% of the global population visits Alaska seasonally.(在拉斯维加斯地区看到黄嘴潜鸟极为罕见，因为它们通常栖息在北极地区以及太平洋沿岸。国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）已将黄嘴潜鸟列为“易危”物种，意味着它们未来可能面临灭绝的风险。而美国国家公园管理局（NPS）则认为，黄嘴潜鸟是美国本土十种最稀有的繁殖鸟类之一，并补充说，全球约20%至25%的黄嘴潜鸟会季节性地前往阿拉斯加。)”可知，作者在第三段提到IUCN和NPS是为了强调黄嘴潜鸟的稀有性和生存状况。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“it would come to the hotel’s fountains, where there are so many people(它竟然会来到酒店喷泉这里，这里人这么多)”和“It’s really off-course here. Very unusual to see a bird like that here.(它在这里偏离了路线。能在这里看到这样的鸟儿真是太罕见了。)”可知，这样的鸟来到喷泉这里是奇怪的事情，odd的意思是“奇怪的，反常的”，和surprising意思相近。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“At first, officials from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) decided it was best not to trouble the bird, giving it a day to work it out on its own.(起初，内华达州野生动物部的官员认为最好不要打扰这只鸟，给它一天时间自行解决这个问题。)”可知，内华达州野生动物部门（NDOW）的官员对这只鸟的第一反应是不去管它。故选A。 D Local government and firefighters in the United States are always managing to look for new and creative methods to help keep wildfires under control. Especially during the hot and dry summer months, thousands of wildfires spread through forests every year. The city of West Sacramento in North California has found a creative secret weapon (秘密武器) to help address this problem. The secret weapon, believe it or not, is goats (山羊)! In their wake, the dangerous fires cause loss of life, and cause damage to land and neighboring communities. By thinking out of the box, the decision to use goats for fire prevention has proven (证明) to be a success. These friendly animals have been helping the city with wildfire prevention by eating the dry grass and dead trees. When the goats eat the things that are likely to catch fire, they stop the problem before it grows! Wildfires can happen naturally, when dry plants catch fire because of the sun’s heat. However, most wildfires are caused by human carelessness. The best way to fight the fires and lessen the damage is to try to clear away the things that encourage the fire’s spread, in this case the dry grass, trees and plants. If the things that are most likely to catch fire are gone, the fire is less likely to spread. This is a very environmentally friendly solution on many levels, and super effective as well. The loveable goats are able to reach difficult areas that grass cutters would not be able to reach. Firefighters and government officials could not be happier with the results. West Sacramento public information officer, Paul Hosely, said that about 400 of these goats can clear an area of about two acres per day. They even fertilize (使肥沃) the area, a natural and free side effect of eating all those dry plants. Although this effort is costly, it has paid off. A few weeks ago, a fire near the Oakland Zoo spread quickly. Fire breaks made by the goats helped stop it from growing and spreading, and kept the people in the area and their properties (财产) safe. 12. What does the underlined part “this problem” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The shortage of firefighters in the U. S. B. Loss of life caused by extreme weather. C. The growth of wildfires across wooded areas. D. Damage to land caused by some wild animals. 13. How do goats help West Sacramento? A. By fertilizing gardens. B. By creating fire breaks. C. By warning of possible danger. D. By controlling overgrown grass. 14. How does the author show the solution’s effectiveness in paragraph5? A. By using experts’ words. B. By providing examples. C. By showing differences. D. By describing a process. 15. The author used the event near the Oakland Zoo to show _________. A. the side effect of the mentioned solution B. the popularity of the mentioned solution C. the high cost of the mentioned solution D. the success of the mentioned solution 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。说明了美国加州西萨克拉门托市用山羊吃掉易燃的干草枯木，形成防火带，环保高效，成功阻止野火蔓延，是预防野火的创新方法。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Especially during the hot and dry summer months, thousands of wildfires spread through forests every year.(尤其是在炎热干燥的夏季，每年都有成千上万的森林火灾在森林中蔓延开来)”可知，第一段讲美国每年夏天都有大量野火在森林蔓延，西萨克拉门托市找到秘密武器（山羊）来解决this problem，指代的就是森林地区野火频发、扩散的问题。故划线词指的是“林区范围内野火的蔓延情况”。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These friendly animals have been helping the city with wildfire prevention by eating the dry grass and dead trees.(这些友好的动物通过吞食干燥的草和枯树，为这座城市提供了防火方面的帮助)”可知，山羊通过开辟防火隔离带为西萨克拉门托市做出贡献。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“West Sacramento public information officer, Paul Hosely, said that about 400 of these goats can clear an area of about two acres per day.(西萨克拉门托市的公共信息官员保罗·霍塞利表示，这些山羊每天大约能清理两英亩左右的区域)”可知，作者通过引用专家的话展示该解决方案的有效性。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although this effort is costly, it has paid off. A few weeks ago, a fire near the Oakland Zoo spread quickly. Fire breaks made by the goats helped stop it from growing and spreading, and kept the people in the area and their properties (财产) safe.(尽管这项举措成本高昂，但最终还是取得了成效。几周前，奥克兰动物园附近发生了一场大火，火势迅速蔓延。而这些由山羊搭建的防火屏障帮助阻止了火势的扩大和蔓延，使该区域的居民及其财产得以安全)”可知，作者以奥克兰动物园附近发生的这一事件为例，来展示所提及解决方案的成效。故选D。 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。 In addition to being a quiet pastime, reading fiction offers children a number of benefits (好处) .

We had friends coming for dinner. I still had some cleaning to do, and I needed time to shower and dress. “Come on, guys,” I said to the kids as I turned off the engine. “Let’s see how fast we can do this. I hurriedly got out of the car, and lifted my two-year-old daughter, Andrea, from her car seat. Seven-year-old Max, my oldest, volunteered,” Let me help. “Okay,” I said, “you close the door when everybody’s out.” With three kids, I always felt like I was forgetting something. Daniel.. Where was Daniel? I felt a pull on my arm and turned around. There he was, my four-year-old. He wasn’t one to say much. I put my hand out and he held onto it as we headed to the store. We were halfway there when Daniel dropped my hand and walked over to the cart (手推车) return area. He stopped, looking at something by his feet. “Daniel, leave it, whatever it is,” I said. “We need to go.” He reached down and picked up his prize, a crumpled (皱巴巴的) square of greenish paper. I took a quick look at it. A dollar bill. “I’ll take care of it till we’re home.” I put it into my pocket. “Whose is it?” Daniel asked. “Won’t the people who lost it be sad?” “No one will miss it. Trust me.” We quickly did the shopping and left the store. As we passed the place where Daniel had found his dollar, he slowed down. “Mom, maybe someone really needs that money.” Daniel said. “Look, it’s only a dollar,” I said impatiently, fishing the crumpled bill out of my pocket and unfolding (展开) it. I did a double take. “Daniel,” I said, “you found a hundred-dollar bill!” Daniel stopped and looked up at me. “Let’s give it back.” “But how?” I asked. “We wait here, and they come get it.” “We don’t have much time to stand here waiting,” I said, though I hated to think of someone losing so much. But then Daniel said quietly, “Mom, you never have time when it’s important.” I took a deep breath and said, “Okay, we’ll wait ten minutes.” 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右： (2) 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 We put the groceries in the car and sat inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Wait here a minute.” I said to the kids as I jumped out of the car and walked over to the couple. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 We put the groceries in the car and sat inside. The ten minutes felt like an hour. Max and Andrea grew a little restless, but Daniel kept his eyes fixed on the cart return area, never moving his gaze. Just as I was about to suggest leaving, a couple hurried over, looking anxious and checking the ground carefully. The woman was wiping her eyes, and the man was muttering, “I must have dropped it here… it’s for our kid’s medicine.” Daniel nudged my arm and whispered, “Mom, that’s them.” “Wait here a minute.” I said to the kids as I jumped out of the car and walked over to the couple. I held up the crumpled hundred-dollar bill and asked if they had lost it. The woman’s face lit up instantly, and she nodded eagerly. “Yes! That’s ours! We were so worried — our son is sick and we need it for his pills.” I handed her the bill, and the couple thanked me repeatedly. When I got back to the car, Daniel smiled proudly. I hugged him tightly, realizing my little boy had taught me a precious lesson about kindness and what truly matters. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者带孩子购物时，四岁的Daniel捡到一张美钞，却因担心失主难过提议归还。作者发现那是百元大钞，虽觉等待耗时，却被儿子“重要的事总没时间”的话打动，最终决定留下等待失主。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们把杂货放进车里并坐进去。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：我们等候失主时，孩子专注期盼，最终一对焦急的夫妇赶来，正是丢钱的人。 ②由第二段首句内容““在这儿等一下。”我一边对孩子们说，一边跳下车走向那对夫妇。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者归还百元大钞给焦急的夫妇，Daniel获赞，作者感悟善良与真情的重要。 2.续写线索：等候失主——遇到丢钱的人——归还百元大钞——Daniel获赞——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.建议：suggest/advise/recommend ②.检查：check/examine ③.低语：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①.焦虑的：anxious/nervous/worried ②.骄傲地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】[高分句型1].

But on Tuesday, March 5, this tradition had to be stopped for a unique guest. A yellow-billed loon, a bird not usually found on the mainland of the U.S., landed in the fountain. “We are happy to welcome the unique guest,” wrote the hotel team on Twitter. They then announced that the fountains had been stopped and that they were working with state wildlife officials to rescue the bird, which had “found comfort in our little lake.” It is extremely rare (罕见的) to see a yellow-billed loon in the Las Vegas area, as it usually makes its home in the Arctic and along the Pacific mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as “vulnerable” meaning it could be at risk of endangerment (受到危害) in the future, while the National Park Service (NPS) considers it to be one of the ten rarest birds that breed (繁殖) on the mainland of the United States, adding that about 20%-25% of the global population visits Alaska seasonally. “It’s an odd thing that it would come to the hotel’s fountains, where there are so many people,” said Kurt Buzard of the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. According to him, the yellow-billed loon is a younger bird that might have gotten lost while trying to travel north along the coast, where most yellow-billed loons travel. “It’s really off-course here. Very unusual to see a bird like that here.” At first, officials from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) decided it was best not to trouble the bird, giving it a day to work it out on its own. But when Wednesday came, they were worried about the absence of food the loon may face if it stayed there, so they caught the bird. Once they made sure it was unharmed and in good health, it was transported to the Wetlands, an area about 5 miles from the Strip, where it had plenty of food and water. 8. What happened to the fountain show on Tuesday? A. It was turned off because of an emergency. B. It had a special mix of music and lights. C. It drew a large number of visitors. D. It was canceled for repair work. 9. Why does the author mention IUCN and NPS in paragraph 3? A. To stress the yellow-billed loon’s rareness and survival situation. B. To discuss the yellow-billed loon’s living place preferences. C. To explain the yellow-billed loon’s seasonal visits to Alaska. D. To introduce the yellow-billed loon’s breeding models. 10. What does the underlined word “odd” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Difficult. D. Natural. 11. What was the NDOW officials’ first reaction to the bird? A. To leave it alone. B. To inform its owner. C. To check its condition. D. To move it somewhere else. D Local government and firefighters in the United States are always managing to look for new and creative methods to help keep wildfires under control. Especially during the hot and dry summer months, thousands of wildfires spread through forests every year. The city of West Sacramento in North California has found a creative secret weapon (秘密武器) to help address this problem. The secret weapon, believe it or not, is goats (山羊)! In their wake, the dangerous fires cause loss of life, and cause damage to land and neighboring communities. By thinking out of the box, the decision to use goats for fire prevention has proven (证明) to be a success. These friendly animals have been helping the city with wildfire prevention by eating the dry grass and dead trees. When the goats eat the things that are likely to catch fire, they stop the problem before it grows! Wildfires can happen naturally, when dry plants catch fire because of the sun’s heat. However, most wildfires are caused by human carelessness. The best way to fight the fires and lessen the damage is to try to clear away the things that encourage the fire’s spread, in this case the dry grass, trees and plants. If the things that are most likely to catch fire are gone, the fire is less likely to spread. This is a very environmentally friendly solution on many levels, and super effective as well. The loveable goats are able to reach difficult areas that grass cutters would not be able to reach. Firefighters and government officials could not be happier with the results. West Sacramento public information officer, Paul Hosely, said that about 400 of these goats can clear an area of about two acres per day. They even fertilize (使肥沃) the area, a natural and free side effect of eating all those dry plants. Although this effort is costly, it has paid off. A few weeks ago, a fire near the Oakland Zoo spread quickly. Fire breaks made by the goats helped stop it from growing and spreading, and kept the people in the area and their properties (财产) safe. 12. What does the underlined part “this problem” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The shortage of firefighters in the U. S. B. Loss of life caused by extreme weather. C. The growth of wildfires across wooded areas. D. Damage to land caused by some wild animals. 13. How do goats help West Sacramento? A. By fertilizing gardens. B. By creating fire breaks. C. By warning of possible danger. D. By controlling overgrown grass. 14. How does the author show the solution’s effectiveness in paragraph5? A. By using experts’ words. B. By providing examples. C. By showing differences. D. By describing a process. 15 The author used the event near the Oakland Zoo to show _________. A. the side effect of the mentioned solution B. the popularity of the mentioned solution C. the high cost of the mentioned solution D. the success of the mentioned solution 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。 In addition to being a quiet pastime, reading fiction offers children a number of benefits (好处) .

We had friends coming for dinner. I still had some cleaning to do, and I needed time to shower and dress. “Come on, guys,” I said to the kids as I turned off the engine. “Let’s see how fast we can do this. I hurriedly got out of the car, and lifted my two-year-old daughter, Andrea, from her car seat. Seven-year-old Max, my oldest, volunteered,” Let me help. “Okay,” I said, “you close the door when everybody’s out.” With three kids, I always felt like I was forgetting something. Daniel.. Where was Daniel? I felt a pull on my arm and turned around. There he was, my four-year-old. He wasn’t one to say much. I put my hand out and he held onto it as we headed to the store. We were halfway there when Daniel dropped my hand and walked over to the cart (手推车) return area. He stopped, looking at something by his feet. “Daniel, leave it, whatever it is,” I said. “We need to go.” He reached down and picked up his prize, a crumpled (皱巴巴的) square of greenish paper. I took a quick look at it. A dollar bill. “I’ll take care of it till we’re home.” I put it into my pocket. “Whose is it?” Daniel asked. “Won’t the people who lost it be sad?” “No one will miss it. Trust me.” We quickly did the shopping and left the store. As we passed the place where Daniel had found his dollar, he slowed down. “Mom, maybe someone really needs that money.” Daniel said. “Look, it’s only a dollar,” I said impatiently, fishing the crumpled bill out of my pocket and unfolding (展开) it. I did a double take. “Daniel,” I said, “you found a hundred-dollar bill!” Daniel stopped and looked up at me. “Let’s give it back.” “But how?” I asked. “We wait here, and they come get it.” “We don’t have much time to stand here waiting,” I said, though I hated to think of someone losing so much. But then Daniel said quietly, “Mom, you never have time when it’s important.” I took a deep breath and said, “Okay, we’ll wait ten minutes.” 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右： (2) 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 We put the groceries in the car and sat inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Wait here a minute.” I said to the kids as I jumped out of the car and walked over to the couple. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
