In today’s digital age when you can get information in a blink of an eye, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books. That’s why communities in Australia have come up with a way to spread a love of books in the younger generations.
Communities have dealt with this problem by bringing libraries to where the kids are, in the streets. The little libraries are made of weatherproof boxes that are set up outside of houses or public spaces and are filled with books. People can take books they haven’t read and donate ones they have to the libraries.
Street Library Australia, nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library in a trip to the US. In 2015 it planned to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4, 500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” Lowe said.
The libraries come in all shapes and sizes from reformed doll houses to old kitchen cupboards. They are completely voluntary and anyone can start one. Pamela Zielke who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. As an early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of stopping books from ending up becoming waste.
But the libraries are doing much more than just providing books and other donated items to people. The street libraries are also building community. “It’s a little stopping place outside your house,” Lowe said. “It’s a great way to meet people in your neighborhood who are also booklovers, recycle books and find new books. But even more importantly, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.”
4. How do communities in Australia develop children’s love for books?
A. By borrowing good books from the libraries.
B. By providing book appreciation classes.
C. By exchanging books with one another.
D. By building libraries close to their homes.
5. What does the underlined word “mushroomed” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Became acceptable. B. Grew fast.
C. Stayed current. D. Changed slowly.
6. What can we know about the street libraries?
A. They are set up voluntarily.
B. They have the same size and shape.
C. They bring owners many profits.
D. They’ sell recycled toys and books.
7. What does Lowe think of the street libraries?
A. They connect communities together.
B. They improve education of residents.
C. They save money on buying books.
D. They promote economic development.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚社区为了培养年轻一代对纸质书的阅读欣赏而采取的措施。

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“In 2015 it planned to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4, 500 registered street libraries in Australia. ‘It just grew and grew,’ Lowe said.(2015年,它计划建造30个图书馆,这个想法mushroomed,现在澳大利亚有4500个注册的街道图书馆。‘它越来越大,’Lowe说)”可知,原本计划建造30个图书馆,现在有4500个注册的街道图书馆,故mushroomed的意思是“成长迅速”。故选B。

细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They are completely voluntary and anyone can start one.(它们完全是自愿的,任何人都可以创建一个。)”可知,街头图书馆是自愿建立的。故选A。

But even more importantly, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.’(但是图书馆不仅仅是向人们提供书籍和其他捐赠物品。街道图书馆也在建设社区。‘这是你房子外面的一个小停车点,’Lowe说。‘这是一个很好的方式去认识你邻居中的书迷,回收书籍和寻找新书。但更重要的是,有了共同的兴趣,图书馆让社区更加紧密地联系在一起。’)可知,Lowe认为街道图书馆将社区联系在一起。故选A。

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavourable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
8. Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century?
A. Because it built a link among people.
B. Because it helped unite a community.
C. Because it was a source of self-education.
D. Because it was a source of pleasure.
9. What does the underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stories. B. Changes. C. Amusements. D. Concentrations.
10. What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A. Students are poorly educated in high school.
B. Poems have become difficult to understand.
C. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.
D. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
11. What does the author try to tell us by writing the text?
A. The history and changes of poetry.
B. The correct way for teachers to teach poetry.
C. The failure of poetry in people’s life nowadays.
D. The reason why people aren’t keen on poetry today.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讲的是为什么人们不再喜欢诗歌。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.(然而,诗歌是快乐的来源,是自我教育的来源,是与他人或与自己社区之外的世界联系的来源。阅读它们既是一种个人行为,也是一种社会行为,甚至可能比个人行为更具社会性。)”可知,朗读诗歌在人们之间建立了一种联系。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的television(电视)、 movie theatres(电影院)和World Wide Web(万维网)可知,这些都是消遣的娱乐形式,因此划线词所在句子表示“的确,那时候没有电视,没有电影院,也没有万维网来提供娱乐”,因此划线词diversion的意思是“消遣,娱乐”,和Amusements意思相近。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中的“Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.(读者们认为诗歌不适合晚上坐在炉边或安乐椅上,它们属于其他难以阅读的东西。)”和最后一段“Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.(然而,当老师把这些问题强加给他们的高中生时,通常发生的情况是,年轻人认为诗歌是令人不快的填字游戏。)”可推知,读者与诗歌之间巨大鸿沟的主要原因是诗歌变得难以理解了。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段的几个问题“Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?(为什么大多数美国人不再对诗歌感到自在,为什么今天大多数人认为诗歌没有什么可告诉他们的,他们没有诗歌也能过得很好?)”以及下文就这几个问题展开阐述并告诉读者造成这种现象的原因(人们不再喜欢诗歌的原因)可知,作者试图通过写这篇文章告诉我们今天人们不喜欢诗歌的原因。故选D。
D
We have scenic beauty all around us, but looking around, much of it is covered with food packages, plastic bottles, and other rubbish. Despite warning signs and boards that constantly say “No littering here!”, people are unwilling to understand the significance of keeping public places clean. However, Khao Yai National Park in Thailand has taken an unusual step to make sure tourists clean up their own trash.
The park has begun sending trash back to the litterbugs (乱扔垃圾者) with a polite note saying “You forgot these things at Khao Yai National Park” to remind people that littering in public places is against the rules. Mr. Varawut Silpa-archa, minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand, posted a series of pictures on Facebook related with the new step. He posted a picture of a trash-filled box that was ready to be shipped with the words—“YOUR TRASH—WE’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.”
Varawut explained that throwing about trash could endanger wild animals, which might eat it by mistake when searching for food. He said littering in the park could carry a fine of up to 500,000 Thai Baht (about $16,000 U.S. dollars), a prison sentence of up to five years, or both. And the offending (违法的) visitors will also be banned from returning to the park.
The officials matched the trash to its owners by taking address details from the camping equipment rental forms. To make the process easier, people will be allowed to enter the park only after writing down their address.
“We think Khao Yai National Park’s new step has made a great contribution to maintaining our country’s natural resources,” Charinya Kiatlapnachai, director of the tourism authority of Thailand, told The Washington Post. “This gesture is an effective way to ensure we all do our part to help our country remain clean, safe and beautiful.”
12. What is the new step of Khao Yai National Park to control littering?
A. Reporting litterbugs to the police.
B. Forcing litterbugs to clean up the park.
C. Posting photos of litterbugs on Facebook.
D. Warning and returning the litterbugs trash.
13. What punishment will litterbugs get if they litter in the park?
A. Their behavior will be exposed in social media.
B. They will not be allowed to visit the park again.
C. They could be charged up to 500,000 U.S. dollars.
D. They could be sentenced to over 5 years in prison.
14. How can officials find the owners of trash?
A. By referring to their rental forms.
B. By viewing cameras inside the park.
C. By matching finger prints on the trash.
D. By contacting them through email.
15. What does Charinya Kiatlapnachai think of Khao Yai National Park’s action?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The park has begun sending trash back to the litterbugs with a polite note saying “You forgot these things at Khao Yai National Park” to remind people that littering in public places is against the rules.(该公园已经开始将垃圾寄回给乱扔垃圾的人,并附上一张礼貌的便条,上面写着“你在考雅伊国家公园忘记了这些东西”,提醒人们在公共场所乱扔垃圾是违反规定的。)”可知,泰国考雅伊国家公园采取的措施是警告并退回乱扔垃圾者的垃圾。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And the offending (违法的) visitors will also be banned from returning to the park.(违反规定的游客也将被禁止返回公园。)”可知,如果在公园里乱扔垃圾,会禁止再次进入公园。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The officials matched the trash to its owners by taking address details from the camping equipment rental forms.(官员们通过从露营设备租赁表格上获取地址细节,将垃圾与它的主人进行了匹配。)”可知,官员们通过参考他们的租赁表格来确定扔垃圾的人。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““We think Khao Yai National Park’s new step has made a great contribution to maintaining our country’s natural resources,” Charinya Kiatlapnachai.(Charinya Kiatlapnachai说:“我们认为考雅伊国家公园的新举措为维护我国的自然资源做出了巨大贡献。)”可知,Charinya Kiatlapnachai 认为该公园所采取的措施是积极的,故支持该公园的行为。故选B。

【19题详解】
由下文“Engage them in a game instead. Ask the little ones to walk around the house with pen and paper, and make a note of all the equipment that consume energy.(让他们参与游戏。让孩子们拿着纸和笔在家里走动,并记下所有消耗能量的设备。)”可知,这里讲要让孩子们参与到节约能量的活动中,而不应该只是一直说而不实践。而D项Lecturing kids about environmental issues won’t help.(口头教育孩子们有关环境问题没有帮助。)符合语境,其中kids与后文的them对应。故选D项。
【20题详解】
由后文“Create a theatre-like experience at home on a Sunday and gather everyone in the family, especially the kids, to watch an informative film about environmental issues or climate change. If parents have slightly older children, they can discuss the film and ask them what they think.(星期天在家里创造一个戏剧般的体验,让家里的每个人,尤其是孩子们,一起观看一部关于环境问题或气候变化的信息电影。如果父母有稍微大一点的孩子,他们可以讨论这部电影,并询问他们的想法。)”可知,这里主要讲父母和孩子一起看一部关于环境方面的电影。而A项Watch an environmental film(观看环境电影)符合语境,对后文有总括作用,其中an environmental film与下文an informative film about environmental issues or climate change对应。故选A项。

Mental Health Awareness Month shines on campus
Last month, our school launched a meaningful Mental Health Awareness Month to promote emotional well-being.
Activities included expert-led workshops on stress management, mindfulness meditation sessions, and interactive art therapy classes where students created colourful artworks expressing their feelings.

Over 500 students participated, with many praising the event for fostering openness about mental health.

At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. I, a young boy, had a hard time, and had been watching her from the table around the corner.
I was in rough shape. My clothes were too big. My hair was all over the place, and my face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. When the lady left, I saw my chance. I quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal I’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched me for a second. I got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill my eyes. I thought the waiter would kick me out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and my heart sank.
I got up to leave, but before I could get far, the waiter came back and asked me to wait for a moment. The waiter gave me a full and fresh meal.

I couldn’t thank the waiter enough with a full stomach and a happy heart.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Seeing what was happening, all the people in the cafe smiled. Then, out of nowhere, people started clapping. It was like something from a movie. Everyone was smiling and looking at me enjoying my surprise meal. As I ate, the people in the cafe started walking up to the waiter and giving him some money. They were tipping him, but it wasn’t just a few coins; they were super generous. It was like the waiter’s kindness had the leading function, and now everyone wanted to offer him some money.
I couldn’t thank the waiter enough with a full stomach and a happy heart. Perhaps this was the first time I had had such a delicious meal. At the same time, the waiter gave me all the money he received just now and encouraged me, “Everything will be OK. Never give up.” I was so moved that I couldn’t say any words. I knew that without the waiter’s kind act, I couldn’t have had a full meal. We didn’t talk much, but it didn’t matter. We were just two people sharing a quiet moment together, and it felt like we understood each other perfectly.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了我看到一位女士在柜台付钱离开了,便去吃她剩下的食物。我迅速坐下来,狼吞虎咽地吃剩下的饭菜,就像这是我吃过的最好的一顿饭一样。然后,服务员走了过来,他一开始什么也没说,只是看了一会,我感到害怕,停止吃东西,泪水开始充满了我的眼睛。我以为服务员肯定会把我赶出去。相反,服务员拿走了吃了一半的盘子,我的心一沉。我起身要离开,但我还没走多远,服务员就回来了,让我等一会儿。服务员给了我一顿丰盛而新鲜的饭菜。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“看到发生的一切,咖啡馆里所有的人都笑了。”可知,第一段可描写咖啡馆里的人们看到这一幕之后所做的事情。
②由第二段首句内容“我吃得饱饱的,心情愉快,对服务员的感谢无以言表。”可知,第二段可描写服务员如何处理人们给的小费并且鼓励我的过程。
2.续写线索:人们开始鼓掌——看着我享受大餐——人们走向服务员,给小费——服务员把小费给我——鼓励我——我感动

The main attractions here are the historic bathhouses and hot springs that the park was established to protect.

The 105-mile Skyline Drive traces the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers many jumping-off points to see the beauty of this park. Beyond the scenic drive, you can explore the park’s many offerings through hiking, biking, and horseback riding,
Indiana Dunes National Park
Stretching along 15 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and covering more than 15,000 acres, this Midwestern park is ideal for relaxing on a beach, hiking the 50 miles of trails,and exploring the diverse ecosystem.

In today’s digital age when you can get information in a blink of an eye, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books. That’s why communities in Australia have come up with a way to spread a love of books in the younger generations.
Communities have dealt with this problem by bringing libraries to where the kids are, in the streets. The little libraries are made of weatherproof boxes that are set up outside of houses or public spaces and are filled with books. People can take books they haven’t read and donate ones they have to the libraries.
Street Library Australia, nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library in a trip to the US. In 2015 it planned to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4, 500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” Lowe said.
The libraries come in all shapes and sizes from reformed doll houses to old kitchen cupboards. They are completely voluntary and anyone can start one. Pamela Zielke who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. As an early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of stopping books from ending up becoming waste.
But the libraries are doing much more than just providing books and other donated items to people. The street libraries are also building community. “It’s a little stopping place outside your house,” Lowe said. “It’s a great way to meet people in your neighborhood who are also booklovers, recycle books and find new books. But even more importantly, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.”
4. How do communities in Australia develop children’s love for books?
A. By borrowing good books from the libraries.
B. By providing book appreciation classes.
C. By exchanging books with one another.
D. By building libraries close to their homes.
5. What does the underlined word “mushroomed” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Became acceptable. B. Grew fast.
C. Stayed current. D. Changed slowly.
6. What can we know about the street libraries?
A. They are set up voluntarily.
B. They have the same size and shape.
C. They bring owners many profits.
D. They’ sell recycled toys and books.
7. What does Lowe think of the street libraries?
A. They connect communities together.
B. They improve education of residents.
C. They save money on buying books.
D. They promote economic development.
C
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavourable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
8. Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century?
A. Because it built a link among people.
B. Because it helped unite a community.
C. Because it was a source of self-education.
D. Because it was a source of pleasure.
9. What does the underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stories. B. Changes. C. Amusements. D. Concentrations.
10. What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A. Students are poorly educated in high school.
B. Poems have become difficult to understand.
C. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.
D. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
11. What does the author try to tell us by writing the text?
A. The history and changes of poetry.
B. The correct way for teachers to teach poetry.
C. The failure of poetry in people’s life nowadays.
D. The reason why people aren’t keen on poetry today.
D
We have scenic beauty all around us, but looking around, much of it is covered with food packages, plastic bottles, and other rubbish. Despite warning signs and boards that constantly say “No littering here!”, people are unwilling to understand the significance of keeping public places clean. However, Khao Yai National Park in Thailand has taken an unusual step to make sure tourists clean up their own trash.
The park has begun sending trash back to the litterbugs (乱扔垃圾者) with a polite note saying “You forgot these things at Khao Yai National Park” to remind people that littering in public places is against the rules. Mr. Varawut Silpa-archa, minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand, posted a series of pictures on Facebook related with the new step. He posted a picture of a trash-filled box that was ready to be shipped with the words—“YOUR TRASH—WE’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.”
Varawut explained that throwing about trash could endanger wild animals, which might eat it by mistake when searching for food. He said littering in the park could carry a fine of up to 500,000 Thai Baht (about $16,000 U.S. dollars), a prison sentence of up to five years, or both. And the offending (违法的) visitors will also be banned from returning to the park.
The officials matched the trash to its owners by taking address details from the camping equipment rental forms. To make the process easier, people will be allowed to enter the park only after writing down their address.
“We think Khao Yai National Park’s new step has made a great contribution to maintaining our country’s natural resources,” Charinya Kiatlapnachai, director of the tourism authority of Thailand, told The Washington Post. “This gesture is an effective way to ensure we all do our part to help our country remain clean, safe and beautiful.”
12. What is the new step of Khao Yai National Park to control littering?
A. Reporting litterbugs to the police.
B. Forcing litterbugs to clean up the park.
C. Posting photos of litterbugs on Facebook.
D. Warning and returning the litterbugs trash.
13. What punishment will litterbugs get if they litter in the park?
A. Their behavior will be exposed in social media.
B. They will not be allowed to visit the park again.
C. They could be charged up to 500,000 U.S. dollars.
D. They could be sentenced to over 5 years in prison.
14. How can officials find the owners of trash?
A. By referring to their rental forms.
B. By viewing cameras inside the park.
C. By matching finger prints on the trash.
D. By contacting them through email.
15. What does Charinya Kiatlapnachai think of Khao Yai National Park’s action?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Unclear.

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。
At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. I, a young boy, had a hard time, and had been watching her from the table around the corner.
I was in rough shape. My clothes were too big. My hair was all over the place, and my face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. When the lady left, I saw my chance. I quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal I’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched me for a second. I got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill my eyes. I thought the waiter would kick me out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and my heart sank.
I got up to leave, but before I could get far, the waiter came back and asked me to wait for a moment. The waiter gave me a full and fresh meal.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
