B Sad news has come into view today as reports have surfaced that Geri Taylor, the brave person who turned her Alzheimer’s diagnosis (阿尔茨海默症诊断) into a call to action, has passed away at the age of 81. Geri’s story was one of courage in the face of difficulty, as she refused to let the disease silence her voice. Geri Taylor was a vibrant person who lived a full and active life before being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s. She was a wife, mother, and grandmother who spent her time helping others in her community. After receiving her diagnosis, Geri made the decision to share her journey with the world, using her experience to educate others about the realities of living with Alzheimer’s. Geri Taylor’s decision to speak out about her Alzheimer’s diagnosis was a brave one. She recognized the negative beliefs and wrong ideas surrounding the disease and knew that by sharing her story, she could help clear misunderstandings and raise awareness. Through speeches, interviews, and social media, Geri used her voice to advocate (提倡) for more research, support, and understanding for those with Alzheimer’s. Geri Taylor’s advocacy work had a deep impact on the Alzheimer’s community. She encouraged others to share their stories and seek support, creating a network of people who could rely on each other for guidance and understanding. Geri Taylor’s legacy (遗产) will continue to encourage others to speak out and advocate for Alzheimer’s awareness. By sharing her story, Geri showed that it is possible to live a meaningful and purposeful life even in the face of a challenging diagnosis. Her courage and determination serve as a reminder that no one should face Alzheimer’s alone, and that by coming together as a community, we can make a difference in the lives of those with the disease. 24.

To honour Geri Taylor’s life and legacy. B. To explain the causes of Alzheimer’s disease. C. To provide Alzheimer’s patients with support. D. To encourage people to share their own medical diagnoses. C What we define as beautiful depends on who sees it — the young or the old, through the Asian or Western eyes or the beauty experts. For example, the Kayan tribe in Southeast Asia considers women with long brass neck rings to be the most beautiful. The longer the neck rings, the more beautiful they are regarded. In many Asian cultures, having fair skin is seen as the ideal. In contrast, Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba represent beauty in Western culture, admired for their smooth skin and attractive features. In the fashion industry, being slim is often linked to beauty. Many models are extremely thin, which can lead to serious health problems such as eating disorders. To tackle this issue, countries like Spain and Italy have banned models who are too thin from participating in fashion shows. This change aims to protect models’ health and influence young people who look up to them. Youth is another quality often associated with beauty. This has led to an increase in cosmetic treatments, as many people seek quick ways to appear younger. Unfortunately, some individuals visit unlicensed practitioners for these treatments, which can be very dangerous for their health. However, focusing too much on outer beauty can cause us to overlook inner beauty. As Confucius said, “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” For instance, Susan Boyle was judged by her appearance, but when she sang, everyone was amazed by her beautiful voice. This shows that true beauty comes from within. In conclusion, we should value inner beauty and understand that a person’s true worth is not only about their looks. By recognizing the importance of character and kindness, we can develop a better understanding of what beauty really means. 28. How do Kayan tribe women show their beauty? A. By wearing long hair. B. By having fair skin. C. By wearing brass neck rings. D. By having slim figures. 29. What can we infer about the effect of fashion models on young people? A. They mislead beauty standards. B. They promote healthy body images. C. They help young people accept their looks. D. They inspire young people to be confident. 30. What does the author aim to convey? A. Fashion models should always be thin. B. Beauty standards are the same everywhere. C. Youth is the most important part of beauty. D. Inner beauty matters much more than outer appearance. 31. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Leading Role of Beauty B. The True meaning of Beauty C. The Great Importance of Beauty D. The Profound Influence of Beauty 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are interested in learning more about Chinese culture, there are multiple ways to get started.

That was the day when it took only six hours to break my body and soul. You think I am a very old man — but I am not. It took less than a single day to change my hair from black to white. One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going and got more fish than others. All at once, the sky was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. A huge wave covered our boat and my younger brother fell into the sea. My elder brother put his mouth close to my ear and cried out “Moskoe-strom!” The moment I heard the word I became very frightened. I knew what he meant by that one word well enough. With the wind and waves, we were going in the direction of the whirlpool. We were hopeless. Nothing could save us. I felt sick, as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream. We went round and round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of the whirlpool. It may appear strange, but at that moment, when we were on the edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature. Suddenly, we went over the edge. I thought my life was over. But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头句已为你写好。 The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ As you can see, the reason why I’m here to tell the story is that I made the right decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
