Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks. That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in college. She went cage diving with classmates — viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage. Martinez was mostly there for the excitement.
The boat ride was proving to be uncomfortable. Martinez’s wetsuit didn’t fit. Everyone was feeling seasick. When she entered the ocean, a woman beside her said she felt ill. “All of a sudden, she brings up,” Martinez recalls. “Then a wave comes, so all she pukes (呕吐) just lands on me.”
At that moment, a white shark approached the cage. To see the shark, Martinez immediately dived, puke and all. But the sight was worth it. Movies usually show these sharks as bloody hunters. But this white shark looked entirely different. “I was shocked at how beautiful the shark was,” she says. “That was a critical moment in my career.”
Today, Martinez is a freelance shark researcher. When she decided to switch careers in her mid-20s, she felt scared. Her family had left Colombia when she was 6 so she could have a better future. She worried her parents would think everything she’d done was a waste. But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them. He explained that he had wanted to study marine biology, too. “It felt like this full-circle moment,” she says. “My dad left everything behind so I could do what I love.”
Martinez’s degrees are in anthropology and psychology, not marine biology. But these backgrounds have shaped her as a scientist. Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences. Psychology helps her understand how people receive information. For example, clam (蛤蜊) divers in the Gulf of Mexico have lost their lives to shark encounters. Their reaction is to hate sharks. Many scientists try to lecture the fishermen about how sharks don’t regularly attack divers. But studying psychology taught Martinez that if you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them first.
24. What happened to Martinez during her study trip in South Africa ?
A. Someone threw up on her. B. She was attacked by a shark.
C. She felt too sick to enjoy the trip. D. Her wetsuit was torn by a wave.
25. What can we infer from Martinez’s father’s reaction ?
A. He regretted not leaving Colombia. B. He was deeply touched by her decision.
C. He was worried about her wasting time. D. He felt sorry for his own unrealized dream.
26. Why does the author mention clam divers in Paragraph 5?
A. To stress the importance of degrees. B. To explain why fishermen fear sharks.
C. To prove that sharks regularly attack divers. D. To show the effect of interdisciplinary knowledge.
27. What can be concluded from Martinez’s experience?
A. Listening is a scientific research method. B. Efforts should be made to protect sharks.
C. Finding what interests us drives career path. D. Success is closely related to family support.
C
(热点话题)A video spread on social media earlier this year. It showed a tourist opening a car door, putting out an arm, and trying to touch lions that walked by. The lions pushed him away, but the situation could have become very dangerous easily.
Thoughtless behaviour around wildlife risks the safety of both people and animals. People risk being attacked, mauled (撕咬) and possibly killed, while animals can be harmed, removed or put down, no matter whether they were only defending themselves. Animal attacks can also cast a destination in a negative light, causing temporary closures or scaring off visitors. All just so someone could boast that they had touched lions or captured a moment on a camera phone.
“Tourists are getting more and more careless around wildlife and the source of the problem is social media.” says wildlife photographer Anette Mosshachers. “People risking their lives or doing stupid things with wildlife are after ’likes’ and followers, something to show off on social media,” says Mossbacher. “The greater the risk, the more ‘likes’ they get. With some clients, it seems like a sickness or addiction.”
Yet social media is not entirely to blame. People have always taken risks for an experience. Foolish behavior and a tendency to get too saucy around dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity. A hunger for attention online might drive some of the current madness, but some individuals might be trying to recreate a piece of the action they have seen on television. Perhaps the adrenaline (肾上腺激素) rush when close to wild animals causes a loss of common sense.
“There’s a worrying lack of awareness that animals several times our size weight, speed and strength can easily hurt us,” says wildlife photographer David Lloyd. “I don’t think parks are doing enough to raise awareness. Tourists need to know how their presence can affect wildlife. A good example is cheetahs (猎豹) on vehicle rooftops. It may be a thrill for the bystanders, but the consequences if a mother cheetah falls off would be severe. She would no longer be able to hunt, so her babies could easily starve.”
“People aren’t getting the education about why they need to stay away from wildlife, including avoiding diseases, keeping people secure and letting wildlife be wild,” says Philip Muruthi, vice president of species conservation and science for the African Wildlife Foundation. “We need to educate tourists through signs, leaflets and front-line drivers. We should stick to guidelines, and there needs to be enforcement through the law.”
28. As for Mossbacher’s opinion on what drives people’s careless behavior, the author is ______.
A. sympathetic B. disapproving C. doubtful D. indifferent
29. What does the underlined word “saucy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Selfish. B. Disrespectful. C. Frightened. D. Shocked.
30. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Parks are expected to take more responsibilities for educating tourists.
B. Raising tourists’ awareness means stressing the danger of animals to them.
C. More regulation of the tourist industry is the key to raising tourists’ awareness.
D. Punishment rather than education can stop people taking silly risks around wildlife.
D
(热点话题)Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
31. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To describe the conditions on Earth.
32. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?
A. Humans are nature-born to do so. B. Humans have the tendency to fight.
C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.
33. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A. Our genetic makeup. B. The adaptive ability of humans.
C. Resources on the earth. D. By-products in space exploration.
34. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Space exploration has created many wonders.
B. Space exploration provides the best value for money.
C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(新题材)
Hesitation as intuition (直觉)
You’ve thought about it. You’ve made your decision and then.….you hesitate. Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. ____35____
Our culture values doing. We’re constantly urged to “go for it.” But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness but rather a valuable signal? ____36____ But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. If you notice yourself hesitating, it might mean a part of you isn’t quite sure. Hesitation can be the body’s way of alerting us to overlooked details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice.
Since hesitation can carry such significance, it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our bodies send. Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy, when we cultivate the habit of self-awareness and understand our fears, we can begin to decipher (辨认) the messages behind our hesitation. Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations. ____37____ Therefore, by integrating our emotions and physical sensations into the decision-making process, we access a more comprehensive understanding.
To make more informed decisions, we can employ specific strategies. One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. ____38____ Another interesting way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision. And before it’s too late, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could.
____39____ By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity.
A. It’s easy to miss intuitive signals when we are moving from thinking minds.
B. They work within fixed frameworks that might not match the complex reality.
C. While our minds are undoubtedly powerful, our bodies also hold a wealth of wisdom.
D. In nature, the key to effective decision-making lies in seeing hesitation as a help.
E. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything differs.
F. Hesitation means your intuition is trying to speak to you from deep inner place.
G. This hesitation is common yet often overlooked in our decision-making process.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
(新语境)Every year, as birds make their journeys hundreds — sometimes thousands — of miles across whole continents, they attract the attention of bird-watchers. People gather along wetlands and shorelines, cold hands holding their telescopes and excitement growing in their stomachs.
For outsiders of bird-watching, a bird-watcher is usually someone from an older generation, such as an old grandma sitting at her feeder looking at different birds. However, according to the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated recreation, there were 4.7 million young bird-watchers in 2016 and 10. 8 million in 2022.
Why exactly has this rapid growth happened? Technology may be the real gateway these days. Families might introduce young people to bird-watching, but apps and social media networks are helping them keep up their commitment to the hobby. Once interested, teenagers find the benefits of bird-watching are truly noticeable: it helps them get access to the traditional recreation and broadens their understanding of ecosystems.
Teenage bird-watchers are finding their own digital way into a very traditional and meaningful activity. Sadie Cosby, a 17-year-old senior in Richmond, recognizes the appeal of online bird-watching platforms. She’s even part of a unique online chat group that sends messages when there is a rare bird in the area. Although Cosby says she prefers to bird-watch alone and uses it as a way to disconnect, she also enjoys being connected to other bird-watchers online. “I think because we’re kind of the smartphone generation, it’s easier for us to relate to bird-watching through all of the platforms,” says Cosby.
Cosby is just a member of a much larger and closely networked community of young bird-watchers. And though they share much in common with older generations of bird-watchers when it comes to their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, they also have a distinct advantage over the elders: being better at using digital tools to improve their bird-watching experience.
40. For outsiders of bird-watching, what kind of person is usually a bird-watcher?
_____________________________________________________________
41. What are the benefits of bird-watching for teenagers?
_____________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢Young bird-watchers share much in common with the elders in terms of their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, but the elders hold a clear advantage over the young.
_____________________________________________________________
43. Besides bird-watching what other hobby would you like to develop in Cosby’s way? And how can you develop it? (In about 40 words)

Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks.That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in
college.She went cage diving with classmates-viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage.
Martinez was mostly there for the excitement.
The boat ride was proving to be uncomfortable.Martinez's wetsuit didn't fit.Everyone was feeling seasick.
张
When she entered the ocean,a woman beside her said she felt ill."All of a sudden,she brings up,"Martinez recalls.
"Then a wave comes,so all she pukes(呕吐)just lands on me.”
At that moment,a white shark approached the cage.To see the shark,Martinez immediately dived,puke and all.

But the sight was worth it.Movies usually show these sharks as bloody hunters.But this white shark looked entirely

different."I was shocked at how beautiful the shark was,"she says."That was a critical moment in my career."
Today,Martinez is a freelance shark researcher.When she decided to switch careers in her mid-20s,she felt
scared.Her family had left Colombia when she was 6 so she could have a better future.She worried her parents
would think everything she'd done was a waste.But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them.He
explained that he had wanted to study marine biology,too."It felt like this full-circle moment,"she says."My dad
left everything behind so I could do what I love."
S
Martinez's degrees are in anthropology and psychology,not marine biology.But these backgrounds have
shaped her as a scientist.Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences.Psychology helps her understand
how people receive information.For example,clam (divers in the Gulf of Mexico have lost their lives to shark

()A video spread on social media earlier this year.It showed a tourist opening a car door,putting out
an arm,and trying to touch lions that walked by.The lions pushed him away,but the situation could have become
very dangerous easily.
Thoughtless behaviour around wildlife risks the safety of both people and animals.People risk being attacked,
mauled (and possibly killed,while animals can be harmed,removed or put down,no matter whether they were
only defending themselves.Animal attacks can also cast a destination in a negative light,causing temporary closures
or scaring off visitors.Alljust so someone could boast that they had touched lions or captured a moment on a camera

says wildlife photographer Anette Mosshachers."People risking their lives or doing stupid things with wildlife are

Yet social media is not entirely to blame.People have always taken risks for an experience.Foolish behavior
and a tendency to get too saucy around dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity.A

(Why should mankind explore space?Why should money,time and effort be spent exploring and
researching something with so few apparent benefits?Why should resources be spent on space rather than on
conditions and people on Earth?These are questions that,understandably,are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (as human beings.What drove our ancestors to
move from the trees into the plains,and on into all possible areas and environments?The wider the spread of a
species,the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to
expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored,because by doing so,any dangers in surrounding areas can be
identified and prepared for.Without knowledge,we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge,
we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (resources to be found.Even if we have no
immediate need of them,they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.
Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications
which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits
including improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication
systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (of technological developments in
the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return,the exploration of space allows creative,brave

and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders
and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works,it also holds dangers.The danger exists,but
knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space,the chance to save
ourselves might not exist
While Earth is the only planet known to support life,surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to
live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different,but human life and cultures have adapted in the
past and surely could in the future.
31.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A.To express his doubts.
B.To compare different ideas.
C.To introduce points for discussion.
D.To describe the conditions on Earth
32.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?
A.Humans are nature-born to do so.
B.Humans have the tendency to fight.
C.Humans may find new sources of food.
D.Humans don't like to stay in the same place.
33.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A.Our genetic makeup
B.The adaptive ability of humans.
C.Resources on the earth.
D.By-products in space exploration.
34.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A.Space exploration has created many wonders.
B.Space exploration provides the best value for money.
C.Space exploration can benefit science and technology
D.Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

Hesitation as intuition(直觉)
You've thought about it.You've made your decision and then.....you hesitate.Your mouse hovers over the
"purchase now"button,you've written the text but can't quite bring yourself to press "send'.You hesitate.
35
Our culture values doing.We're constantly urged to"go for it."But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness
but rather a valuable signal?36 But we don't always make it a practice to listen to our bodies.When we do
试题第7页(共10页)
pay attention,we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition.If you notice yourself
hesitating,it might mean a part of you isn't quite sure.Hesitation can be the body's way of alerting us to overlooked
details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice.
Since hesitation can carry such significance,it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our
bodies send.Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy,when we cultivate the habit of
self-awareness and understand our fears,we can begin to decipher (the messages behind our hesitation.
Moreover,our rational minds have their limitations.37 Therefore,by integrating our emotions and
physical sensations into the decision-making process,we access a more comprehensive understanding.
张
To make more informed decisions,we can employ specific strategies.One way that we can help ourselves with
a specific decision is to notice when there's hesitation and,if you have the time,wait.38 Another
interesting way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it.Take action as ifyou had already made the
江
decision.And before it's too late,notice how it feels to walk that path.That may give you more information than
舞
游
thinking ever could.
游
39 By integrating both rational and intuitive elements,we can handle the complex choices with
greater confidence and clarity.
A.It's easy to miss intuitive signals when we are moving from thinking minds.
B.They work within fixed firameworks that might not match the complex reality
C.While our minds are undoubtedly powerful,our bodies also hold a wealth of wisdom.
D.In nature,the key to effective decision-making lies in seeing hesitation as a help.
E.Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything differs.
F.Hesitation means your intuition is trying to speak to you from deep inner place.
G.This hesitation is common yet often overlooked in our decision-making process.

Teenage bird-watchers are finding their own digital way into a very traditional and meaningful activity.Sadie

Cosby is just a member of a much larger and closely networked community of young bird-watchers.And

Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks. That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in college. She went cage diving with classmates — viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage. Martinez was mostly there for the excitement.
The boat ride was proving to be uncomfortable. Martinez’s wetsuit didn’t fit. Everyone was feeling seasick. When she entered the ocean, a woman beside her said she felt ill. “All of a sudden, she brings up,” Martinez recalls. “Then a wave comes, so all she pukes (呕吐) just lands on me.”
At that moment, a white shark approached the cage. To see the shark, Martinez immediately dived, puke and all. But the sight was worth it. Movies usually show these sharks as bloody hunters. But this white shark looked entirely different. “I was shocked at how beautiful the shark was,” she says. “That was a critical moment in my career.”
Today, Martinez is a freelance shark researcher. When she decided to switch careers in her mid-20s, she felt scared. Her family had left Colombia when she was 6 so she could have a better future. She worried her parents would think everything she’d done was a waste. But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them. He explained that he had wanted to study marine biology, too. “It felt like this full-circle moment,” she says. “My dad left everything behind so I could do what I love.”
Martinez’s degrees are in anthropology and psychology, not marine biology. But these backgrounds have shaped her as a scientist. Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences. Psychology helps her understand how people receive information. For example, clam (蛤蜊) divers in the Gulf of Mexico have lost their lives to shark encounters. Their reaction is to hate sharks. Many scientists try to lecture the fishermen about how sharks don’t regularly attack divers. But studying psychology taught Martinez that if you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them first.
24. What happened to Martinez during her study trip in South Africa ?
A. Someone threw up on her. B. She was attacked by a shark.
C. She felt too sick to enjoy the trip. D. Her wetsuit was torn by a wave.
25. What can we infer from Martinez’s father’s reaction ?
A. He regretted not leaving Colombia. B. He was deeply touched by her decision.
C. He was worried about her wasting time. D. He felt sorry for his own unrealized dream.
26. Why does the author mention clam divers in Paragraph 5?
A. To stress the importance of degrees. B. To explain why fishermen fear sharks.
C. To prove that sharks regularly attack divers. D. To show the effect of interdisciplinary knowledge.
27. What can be concluded from Martinez’s experience?
A. Listening is a scientific research method. B. Efforts should be made to protect sharks.
C. Finding what interests us drives career path. D. Success is closely related to family support.

(热点话题)A video spread on social media earlier this year. It showed a tourist opening a car door, putting out an arm, and trying to touch lions that walked by. The lions pushed him away, but the situation could have become very dangerous easily.
Thoughtless behaviour around wildlife risks the safety of both people and animals. People risk being attacked, mauled (撕咬) and possibly killed, while animals can be harmed, removed or put down, no matter whether they were only defending themselves. Animal attacks can also cast a destination in a negative light, causing temporary closures or scaring off visitors. All just so someone could boast that they had touched lions or captured a moment on a camera phone.
“Tourists are getting more and more careless around wildlife and the source of the problem is social media.” says wildlife photographer Anette Mosshachers. “People risking their lives or doing stupid things with wildlife are after ’likes’ and followers, something to show off on social media,” says Mossbacher. “The greater the risk, the more ‘likes’ they get. With some clients, it seems like a sickness or addiction.”
Yet social media is not entirely to blame. People have always taken risks for an experience. Foolish behavior and a tendency to get too saucy around dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity. A hunger for attention online might drive some of the current madness, but some individuals might be trying to recreate a piece of the action they have seen on television. Perhaps the adrenaline (肾上腺激素) rush when close to wild animals causes a loss of common sense.
“There’s a worrying lack of awareness that animals several times our size weight, speed and strength can easily hurt us,” says wildlife photographer David Lloyd. “I don’t think parks are doing enough to raise awareness. Tourists need to know how their presence can affect wildlife. A good example is cheetahs (猎豹) on vehicle rooftops. It may be a thrill for the bystanders, but the consequences if a mother cheetah falls off would be severe. She would no longer be able to hunt, so her babies could easily starve.”
“People aren’t getting the education about why they need to stay away from wildlife, including avoiding diseases, keeping people secure and letting wildlife be wild,” says Philip Muruthi, vice president of species conservation and science for the African Wildlife Foundation. “We need to educate tourists through signs, leaflets and front-line drivers. We should stick to guidelines, and there needs to be enforcement through the law.”
28. As for Mossbacher’s opinion on what drives people’s careless behavior, the author is ______.
A. sympathetic B. disapproving C. doubtful D. indifferent
29. What does the underlined word “saucy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Selfish. B. Disrespectful. C. Frightened. D. Shocked.
30. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Parks are expected to take more responsibilities for educating tourists.
B. Raising tourists’ awareness means stressing the danger of animals to them.
C. More regulation of the tourist industry is the key to raising tourists’ awareness.
D. Punishment rather than education can stop people taking silly risks around wildlife.
D
(热点话题)Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
31. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To describe the conditions on Earth.
32. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?
A. Humans are nature-born to do so. B. Humans have the tendency to fight.
C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.
33. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A. Our genetic makeup. B. The adaptive ability of humans.
C. Resources on the earth. D. By-products in space exploration.
34. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Space exploration has created many wonders.
B. Space exploration provides the best value for money.
C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

(新题材)
Hesitation as intuition (直觉)
You’ve thought about it. You’ve made your decision and then.….you hesitate. Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. ____35____
Our culture values doing. We’re constantly urged to “go for it.” But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness but rather a valuable signal? ____36____ But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. If you notice yourself hesitating, it might mean a part of you isn’t quite sure. Hesitation can be the body’s way of alerting us to overlooked details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice.
Since hesitation can carry such significance, it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our bodies send. Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy, when we cultivate the habit of self-awareness and understand our fears, we can begin to decipher (辨认) the messages behind our hesitation. Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations. ____37____ Therefore, by integrating our emotions and physical sensations into the decision-making process, we access a more comprehensive understanding.
To make more informed decisions, we can employ specific strategies. One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. ____38____ Another interesting way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision. And before it’s too late, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could.
____39____ By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity.
A. It’s easy to miss intuitive signals when we are moving from thinking minds.
B. They work within fixed frameworks that might not match the complex reality.
C. While our minds are undoubtedly powerful, our bodies also hold a wealth of wisdom.
D. In nature, the key to effective decision-making lies in seeing hesitation as a help.
E. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything differs.
F. Hesitation means your intuition is trying to speak to you from deep inner place.
G. This hesitation is common yet often overlooked in our decision-making process.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
(新语境)Every year, as birds make their journeys hundreds — sometimes thousands — of miles across whole continents, they attract the attention of bird-watchers. People gather along wetlands and shorelines, cold hands holding their telescopes and excitement growing in their stomachs.
For outsiders of bird-watching, a bird-watcher is usually someone from an older generation, such as an old grandma sitting at her feeder looking at different birds. However, according to the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated recreation, there were 4.7 million young bird-watchers in 2016 and 10. 8 million in 2022.
Why exactly has this rapid growth happened? Technology may be the real gateway these days. Families might introduce young people to bird-watching, but apps and social media networks are helping them keep up their commitment to the hobby. Once interested, teenagers find the benefits of bird-watching are truly noticeable: it helps them get access to the traditional recreation and broadens their understanding of ecosystems.
Teenage bird-watchers are finding their own digital way into a very traditional and meaningful activity. Sadie Cosby, a 17-year-old senior in Richmond, recognizes the appeal of online bird-watching platforms. She’s even part of a unique online chat group that sends messages when there is a rare bird in the area. Although Cosby says she prefers to bird-watch alone and uses it as a way to disconnect, she also enjoys being connected to other bird-watchers online. “I think because we’re kind of the smartphone generation, it’s easier for us to relate to bird-watching through all of the platforms,” says Cosby.
Cosby is just a member of a much larger and closely networked community of young bird-watchers. And though they share much in common with older generations of bird-watchers when it comes to their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, they also have a distinct advantage over the elders: being better at using digital tools to improve their bird-watching experience.
40. For outsiders of bird-watching, what kind of person is usually a bird-watcher?
_____________________________________________________________
41. What are the benefits of bird-watching for teenagers?
_____________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢Young bird-watchers share much in common with the elders in terms of their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, but the elders hold a clear advantage over the young.
_____________________________________________________________
43. Besides bird-watching what other hobby would you like to develop in Cosby’s way? And how can you develop it? (In about 40 words)

When ___13___ (ask) how he got into piano work, he’ll reply happily, “It is ___14___ long story.”
【答案】11. has been 12. listening 13. asked 14. a
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了中国最优秀的盲人钢琴调音师之一——李任炜,他虽然从未见过钢琴,但却凭借敏锐的听觉和灵巧的双手为钢琴用户提供了最好的服务。
11.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:李仁伟从出生起就失明了。提示词作谓语,是连系动词,结合时间状语since birth可知,描述从过去持续到现在的状态,应用现在完成时,又因主语Li Renwei是专有名词,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填has been。
12. 考查非谓语动词。句意:“与那些用眼睛了解世界的人不同,我是通过倾听和触摸来了解世界的,”他自豪地说。在介词through后用动名词作宾语。故填listening。
13. 考查状语从句的省略。句意:当被问及是如何从事钢琴调音工作时,他会高兴地回答:“这说来话长。” 在when, while, if, as if, though (或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中,常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词;“When (ask) how he got into piano work”是条件状语从句,原句为“When he is asked how he got into piano work”,符合状语从句省略条件,省略he is后,应保留过去分词asked。故填asked。
14. 考查冠词。句意同上。可数名词story在句中表示“一个故事”,泛指,long发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
B
As a key point on the Old Silk Road, Loulan was an important old city in Northwest China, ___15___ the road separated into northern and southern lines, going either way until they met again at its western end. Before its sudden disappearance in the sixth century, both traveling traders and tourists ___16___ (depend)largely on Loulan to refill their bags of food and water, look for a guide, or find more camels (骆 驼) and horses. Since then, ___17___ happened to Loulan has attracted both travelers and adventurers all over the world.
【答案】15. where 16. depended/had depended/had been depending 17. what
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于中国西北部的古城楼兰,作为古丝绸之路的关键节点,以及其突然消失后,对旅行者和探险家的吸引力。
15. 考查定语从句。句意:作为古丝绸之路上的一个关键点,楼兰是中国西北部的一个重要古城,在这里道路分为北线和南线,各自延伸直到在西端再次交汇。空处引导非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词“an important old city”,且在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
16. 考查时态。句意:在六世纪突然消失之前,旅行的商人和游客在很大程度上依赖楼兰来补充他们的食物和水袋,寻找向导,或者找到更多的骆驼和马匹。空处为句子的谓语动词,根据“Before its sudden disappearance in the sixth century”可知,用一般过去时,或过去完成时态和过去完成进行时态,表示过去的过去发生的动作或过去之前发生的动作一直持续到过去某个时间。故填depended/had depended/had been depending。
17. 考查主语从句。句意:从那时起,发生在楼兰身上的事情吸引了全世界的旅行者和探险家。空处引导主语从句,主语从句中缺少主语,表示“楼兰发生的事情”,所以用what引导。故填what。
C
With the weather getting hot, bites ___18___ (cause) by mosquitoes not only annoy people, but also can result in many terrible diseases. Even when people wear long clothes, they always find ___19___ very hard to avoid mosquitoes. It would be great if clothing could be used to completely prevent people from getting bitten. Researchers tested graphene, a material that is incredibly thin but___20___ (real) strong, in order to find out if it can be applied to make clothing fight against mosquitoes.
【答案】18. caused 19. it 20. really
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员对石墨烯这种材料进行了测试,以确定它是否可以用于制造防蚊衣物。
18. 考查非谓语动词。句意:随着天气逐渐炎热,蚊虫叮咬不仅给人们带来烦恼,还可能引发许多可怕的疾病。句中有谓语,前后无连词,此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词bites,动词cause和名词bites是被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语,故填caused。
19. 考查形式宾语。句意:即使人们穿着长衣服,也总是很难避开蚊子。find it+形容词+to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“发现做某事是……”,it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是不定式,故填it。
20. 考查副词。句意:研究人员对石墨烯(一种非常薄但非常坚固的材料)进行了测试,以确定它是否可以用于制造防蚊衣物。此处应用副词really作状语,修饰形容词strong,故填really。

Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks. That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in college. She went cage diving with classmates — viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage. Martinez was mostly there for the excitement.
The boat ride was proving to be uncomfortable. Martinez’s wetsuit didn’t fit. Everyone was feeling seasick. When she entered the ocean, a woman beside her said she felt ill. “All of a sudden, she brings up,” Martinez recalls. “Then a wave comes, so all she pukes (呕吐) just lands on me.”
At that moment, a white shark approached the cage. To see the shark, Martinez immediately dived, puke and all. But the sight was worth it. Movies usually show these sharks as bloody hunters. But this white shark looked entirely different. “I was shocked at how beautiful the shark was,” she says. “That was a critical moment in my career.”
Today, Martinez is a freelance shark researcher. When she decided to switch careers in her mid-20s, she felt scared. Her family had left Colombia when she was 6 so she could have a better future. She worried her parents would think everything she’d done was a waste. But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them. He explained that he had wanted to study marine biology, too. “It felt like this full-circle moment,” she says. “My dad left everything behind so I could do what I love.”
Martinez’s degrees are in anthropology and psychology, not marine biology. But these backgrounds have shaped her as a scientist. Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences. Psychology helps her understand how people receive information. For example, clam (蛤蜊) divers in the Gulf of Mexico have lost their lives to shark encounters. Their reaction is to hate sharks. Many scientists try to lecture the fishermen about how sharks don’t regularly attack divers. But studying psychology taught Martinez that if you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them first.
24. What happened to Martinez during her study trip in South Africa ?
A. Someone threw up on her. B. She was attacked by a shark.
C. She felt too sick to enjoy the trip. D. Her wetsuit was torn by a wave.
25. What can we infer from Martinez’s father’s reaction ?
A. He regretted not leaving Colombia. B. He was deeply touched by her decision.
C. He was worried about her wasting time. D. He felt sorry for his own unrealized dream.
26. Why does the author mention clam divers in Paragraph 5?
A. To stress the importance of degrees. B. To explain why fishermen fear sharks.
C. To prove that sharks regularly attack divers. D. To show the effect of interdisciplinary knowledge.
27. What can be concluded from Martinez’s experience?
A. Listening is a scientific research method. B. Efforts should be made to protect sharks.
C. Finding what interests us drives career path. D. Success is closely related to family support.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。马丁内斯的学位是人类学和心理学,但是在一次南非游学经历中她对海洋生物学产生了深深的兴趣,这引导了她的职业道路,她的跨学科背景也非常有利于她的学术研究。
24.细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句““All of a sudden, she brings up,” Martinez recalls. “ Then a wave comes, so all she pukes (呕吐) just lands on me.”(“突然之间,她就吐了。”马丁内斯回忆道。“这时涌来一阵海浪,把她吐出的东西全都拍到了我身上。”)”可知,马丁内斯在南非游学的时候,有人吐在了她身上。故选A。
25. 推理判断题。根据第四段最后四句“But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them. He explained that he had wanted to study marine biology, too. “It felt like this full-circle moment,” she says. “My dad left everything behind so I could do what I love.”(但当她把这件事告诉父亲时,父亲竟落泪了。他解释说,自己也曾想学习海洋生物学。“那一刻感觉真是圆满了,”她说,“父亲放弃了一切,只为让我能做自己热爱的事情。”)”可知,马丁内斯的父亲的反应表明他被她的这一决定深深打动了。故选B。
26. 推理判断题。根据第五段前四句“Martinez’s degrees are in anthropology and psychology, not marine biology. But these backgrounds have shaped her as a scientist. Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences. Psychology helps her understand how people receive information.(马丁内斯的学位是人类学和心理学,而非海洋生物学。但这些背景经历塑造了她作为科学家的特质。人类学使她能够考虑文化差异。心理学则帮助她理解人们获取信息的方式。)”可知,作者在第五段中提到捕蛤者这一群体是为了表明跨学科知识的成效。故选D。
27. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks. That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in college. She went cage diving with classmates — viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage. Martinez was mostly there for the excitement.(海蒂·马丁内斯从未想过要研究鲨鱼。但在大学期间的一次南非留学之旅中,这一切都发生了改变。她和同学们一起进行了潜水活动——在有防护罩的笼子里观察水下的鲨鱼。马丁内斯去那里主要是为了寻求刺激。)”和最后一段最后两句“Many scientists try to lecture the fishermen about how sharks don’t regularly attack divers. But studying psychology taught Martinez that if you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them first.(许多科学家试图向渔民们宣讲鲨鱼并不会经常袭击潜水者这一事实。但通过心理学的学习,马丁内斯明白,要想让别人听你说话,你首先得先倾听他们的想法。)”可知,马丁内斯因为一次经历对海洋生物学产生了深深的兴趣,她的跨学科知识也让她的职业道路非常顺利,这说明找到我们感兴趣的事物会引导我们的职业道路。故选C。
C
(热点话题)A video spread on social media earlier this year. It showed a tourist opening a car door, putting out an arm, and trying to touch lions that walked by. The lions pushed him away, but the situation could have become very dangerous easily.
Thoughtless behaviour around wildlife risks the safety of both people and animals. People risk being attacked, mauled (撕咬) and possibly killed, while animals can be harmed, removed or put down, no matter whether they were only defending themselves. Animal attacks can also cast a destination in a negative light, causing temporary closures or scaring off visitors. All just so someone could boast that they had touched lions or captured a moment on a camera phone.
“Tourists are getting more and more careless around wildlife and the source of the problem is social media.” says wildlife photographer Anette Mosshachers. “People risking their lives or doing stupid things with wildlife are after ’likes’ and followers, something to show off on social media,” says Mossbacher. “The greater the risk, the more ‘likes’ they get. With some clients, it seems like a sickness or addiction.”
Yet social media is not entirely to blame. People have always taken risks for an experience. Foolish behavior and a tendency to get too saucy around dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity. A hunger for attention online might drive some of the current madness, but some individuals might be trying to recreate a piece of the action they have seen on television. Perhaps the adrenaline (肾上腺激素) rush when close to wild animals causes a loss of common sense.
“There’s a worrying lack of awareness that animals several times our size weight, speed and strength can easily hurt us,” says wildlife photographer David Lloyd. “I don’t think parks are doing enough to raise awareness. Tourists need to know how their presence can affect wildlife. A good example is cheetahs (猎豹) on vehicle rooftops. It may be a thrill for the bystanders, but the consequences if a mother cheetah falls off would be severe. She would no longer be able to hunt, so her babies could easily starve.”
“People aren’t getting the education about why they need to stay away from wildlife, including avoiding diseases, keeping people secure and letting wildlife be wild,” says Philip Muruthi, vice president of species conservation and science for the African Wildlife Foundation. “We need to educate tourists through signs, leaflets and front-line drivers. We should stick to guidelines, and there needs to be enforcement through the law.”
28. As for Mossbacher’s opinion on what drives people’s careless behavior, the author is ______.
A. sympathetic B. disapproving C. doubtful D. indifferent
29. What does the underlined word “saucy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Selfish. B. Disrespectful. C. Frightened. D. Shocked.
30. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Parks are expected to take more responsibilities for educating tourists.
B. Raising tourists’ awareness means stressing the danger of animals to them.
C. More regulation of the tourist industry is the key to raising tourists’ awareness.
D. Punishment rather than education can stop people taking silly risks around wildlife.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了游客在野生动物周围的不理智行为及其原因,并强调了教育和法规在提高游客意识方面的重要性。
28. 推理判断题。根据第三段““Tourists are getting more and more careless around wildlife and the source of the problem is social media.” says wildlife photographer Anette Mosshachers. “People risking their lives or doing stupid things with wildlife are after ’likes’ and followers, something to show off on social media,” says Mossbacher. “The greater the risk, the more ‘likes’ they get. With some clients, it seems like a sickness or addiction.”(野生动物摄影师安妮特・莫斯巴赫表示:“游客面对野生动物时越来越疏忽大意,而问题的根源就在于社交媒体。人们冒着生命危险、做出出格举动招惹野生动物,只为博取点赞、涨粉丝,想在网上炫耀自己。风险越大,收获的点赞就越多。有些游客,简直像是染上了瘾、走火入魔。”)”和第四段中“Yet social media is not entirely to blame. People have always taken risks for an experience. Foolish behavior and a tendency to get too saucy around dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity. A hunger for attention online might drive some of the current madness, but some individuals might be trying to recreate a piece of the action they have seen on television. Perhaps the adrenaline (肾上腺激素) rush when close to wild animals causes a loss of common sense.(然而,社交媒体并非唯一罪魁祸首。为了追求新奇体验,人类向来就爱冒险。愚蠢的举动、在危险动物面前肆意放肆的心态,自人类诞生之初就一直存在。渴望网络关注或许助长了如今的疯狂行为,但也有部分人,只是想模仿在电视上看到的画面。或许近距离接触野生动物时飙升的肾上腺素,会让人丧失理智、丢掉常识。)”可知,作者分析人类自古就有冒险心理、模仿影视画面、肾上腺素上头等其他原因可知,作者对莫斯巴赫将问题完全归结于社交媒体、点赞跟风的观点持怀疑态度。故选C。
29. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Foolish behavior and a tendency to get too saucy around dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity.(愚蠢的行为和在危险动物周围过于saucy的倾向从人类诞生之初就存在了。)”以及“Perhaps the adrenaline (肾上腺激素) rush when close to wild animals causes an loss of common sense.(也许当接近野生动物时,肾上腺素的激增会导致常识的丧失。)”可知,接近野生动物时,肾上腺素的激增会导致常识的丧失,在危险动物面前过于放肆的倾向,故saucy意思是“无礼的,不尊重的”。故选B。
30. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“I don’t think parks are doing enough to raise awareness. Tourists need to know how their presence can affect wildlife.(我认为公园在提高公众意识方面做得还不够。游客需要知道他们的存在会如何影响野生动物)”和第六段中“People aren’t getting the education about why they need to stay away from wildlife, including avoiding diseases, keeping people secure and letting wildlife be wild(人们没有得到关于为什么他们需要远离野生动物的教育,包括避免疾病,保证人们的安全,让野生动物自然生长)”可推知,公园在提高公众意识方面做得还不够,应该在教育游客方面承担更多的责任。故选A项。
D
(热点话题)Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
31. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To describe the conditions on Earth.
32. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?
A. Humans are nature-born to do so. B. Humans have the tendency to fight.
C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.
33. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A. Our genetic makeup. B. The adaptive ability of humans.
C. Resources on the earth. D. By-products in space exploration.
34. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Space exploration has created many wonders.
B. Space exploration provides the best value for money.
C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. B 34. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从人类天性的角度剖析了人类进行太空探索的动机,以及从中获得的益处——太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。
31. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. (人类为什么要探索太空?为什么要花费金钱、时间和精力去探索和研究那些没有什么明显好处的东西呢?为什么资源应该花在太空上,而不是花在地球上的环境和人身上?可以理解的是,这些问题经常被问到)”可知,作者用连续的三个问题来说明人们对太空探索的意义的困惑,再结合下文段落对此进行解答可推知,作者提出这些问题是为了引出要讨论的主题——太空探索的意义。故选C项。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. (也许最好的答案在于我们作为人类的基因构成)”和“Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. (也许探索太空的最好理由是这种向任何可能的地方扩张的遗传倾向)”可知,本段给出的理由是人类的基因决定了人类倾向于向任何可能的地方扩张,去探索太空,即人类天生就会这么做。故选A项。
33. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. (虽然地球是已知的唯一一个支持生命的星球,但人类的适应能力肯定会允许我们在其他星球上生活)”可知,人类的适应能力使得人类居住在其他星球上成为可能。故选B项。
34. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,第一段以问题的形式引出对太空探索意义的思考,第二到五段从不同方面说明进行太空探索的原因,包括人类有向任何可能的地方扩张的基因倾向,每个文明都会探索周围环境以降低危险,探索使得人类能够发现潜在能源,发现拯救自身的办法,第六段用人类强大的适应能力说明人类有可能住在其他星球上,表达对未来的希望。由此可知,文章的主旨是太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(新题材)
Hesitation as intuition (直觉)
You’ve thought about it. You’ve made your decision and then.….you hesitate. Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. ____35____
Our culture values doing. We’re constantly urged to “go for it.” But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness but rather a valuable signal? ____36____ But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. If you notice yourself hesitating, it might mean a part of you isn’t quite sure. Hesitation can be the body’s way of alerting us to overlooked details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice.
Since hesitation can carry such significance, it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our bodies send. Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy, when we cultivate the habit of self-awareness and understand our fears, we can begin to decipher (辨认) the messages behind our hesitation. Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations. ____37____ Therefore, by integrating our emotions and physical sensations into the decision-making process, we access a more comprehensive understanding.
To make more informed decisions, we can employ specific strategies. One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. ____38____ Another interesting way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision. And before it’s too late, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could.
____39____ By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity.
A. It’s easy to miss intuitive signals when we are moving from thinking minds.
B. They work within fixed frameworks that might not match the complex reality.
C. While our minds are undoubtedly powerful, our bodies also hold a wealth of wisdom.
D. In nature, the key to effective decision-making lies in seeing hesitation as a help.
E. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything differs.
F. Hesitation means your intuition is trying to speak to you from deep inner place.
G. This hesitation is common yet often overlooked in our decision-making process.
【答案】 35. G 36. C 37. B 38. E 39. D
【导语】 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了犹豫的重要意义以及做出更明智的决定,我们可以采用具体的策略。
35.根据上文“Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate.(你的鼠标悬停在“立即购买”按钮上,你已经写好了文字,但无法让自己按下“发送”。你犹豫)”可知,选项承接上文说明这种现象的普遍性和被忽视性。故G选项“这种犹豫很常见,但在我们做决定的过程中却经常被忽视”切题。故选G项。
36. 根据下文“But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. (但是我们并没有经常去倾听我们身体的声音。当我们集中注意力的时候,我们可以接触到很多非理性的信息,包括我们的直觉)”可知,选项承接下文说明我们的身体中藏着巨大的智慧。故C选项“虽然我们的思想无疑是强大的,但我们的身体也拥有丰富的智慧”切题。a wealth of wisdom呼应a lot of nonrational information。故选C项。
37. 根据上文“Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations.(此外,我们的理性思维也有其局限性)”可知,选项承接上文具体说明局限性的内容。故B选项“它们在固定的框架内工作,可能与复杂的现实不匹配”切题。故选B项。
38. 根据上文“One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait.(我们可以帮助自己做出具体决定的一种方法是注意到犹豫的时候,如果你有时间,等待)”可知,选项与上文为并列关系继续说明犹豫的时候该做的事情。故E选项“回顾一下你认为自己做出的决定,看看是否有什么不同”切题。故选E项。
39. 根据下文“By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity.(通过整合理性和直觉的元素,我们可以更有信心和更清晰地处理复杂的选择)”可知,选项在总结全文强调了犹豫在决策中的重要作用且这种作用能够帮助我们处理复杂的选择。故D选项“从本质上讲,有效决策的关键在于将犹豫视为一种帮助”切题。故选D项。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
(新语境)Every year, as birds make their journeys hundreds — sometimes thousands — of miles across whole continents, they attract the attention of bird-watchers. People gather along wetlands and shorelines, cold hands holding their telescopes and excitement growing in their stomachs.
For outsiders of bird-watching, a bird-watcher is usually someone from an older generation, such as an old grandma sitting at her feeder looking at different birds. However, according to the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated recreation, there were 4.7 million young bird-watchers in 2016 and 10. 8 million in 2022.
Why exactly has this rapid growth happened? Technology may be the real gateway these days. Families might introduce young people to bird-watching, but apps and social media networks are helping them keep up their commitment to the hobby. Once interested, teenagers find the benefits of bird-watching are truly noticeable: it helps them get access to the traditional recreation and broadens their understanding of ecosystems.
Teenage bird-watchers are finding their own digital way into a very traditional and meaningful activity. Sadie Cosby, a 17-year-old senior in Richmond, recognizes the appeal of online bird-watching platforms. She’s even part of a unique online chat group that sends messages when there is a rare bird in the area. Although Cosby says she prefers to bird-watch alone and uses it as a way to disconnect, she also enjoys being connected to other bird-watchers online. “I think because we’re kind of the smartphone generation, it’s easier for us to relate to bird-watching through all of the platforms,” says Cosby.
Cosby is just a member of a much larger and closely networked community of young bird-watchers. And though they share much in common with older generations of bird-watchers when it comes to their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, they also have a distinct advantage over the elders: being better at using digital tools to improve their bird-watching experience.
40. For outsiders of bird-watching, what kind of person is usually a bird-watcher?
_____________________________________________________________
41. What are the benefits of bird-watching for teenagers?
_____________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢Young bird-watchers share much in common with the elders in terms of their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, but the elders hold a clear advantage over the young.
_____________________________________________________________
43. Besides bird-watching what other hobby would you like to develop in Cosby’s way? And how can you develop it? (In about 40 words)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】40. A bird-watcher is usually someone from an older generation.
41. It helps them get access to the traditional recreation and broadens their understanding of ecosystems.
42. Young bird-watchers share much in common with the elders in terms of their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, but the elders hold a clear advantage over the young. Because they have a distinct advantage over the elders: being better at using digital tools to improve their bird-watching experience.
43. I would like to develop the hobby of photography in Cosby’s way. I can join online photography communities, share my works and techniques with others, and use digital tools like image editing software to enhance my photography skills.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了观鸟活动在年轻人中兴起及其原因和影响。
40. 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“For outsiders of bird-watching, a bird-watcher is usually someone from an older generation, such as an old grandma sitting at her feeder looking at different birds. (对于不观鸟的人来说,观鸟者通常是老一辈的人,比如坐在喂食器前看不同鸟类的老奶奶。)”可知,对于不观鸟的人来说,观鸟者通常是老一辈的人。故答案为:A bird-watcher is usually someone from an older generation.
41. 考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“Once interested, teenagers find the benefits of bird-watching are truly noticeable: it helps them get access to the traditional recreation and broadens their understanding of ecosystems. (一旦感兴趣,青少年就会发现观鸟的好处确实很明显:它帮助他们接触到传统娱乐活动,并拓宽他们对生态系统的理解。)”可知,观鸟对青少年的好处是帮助他们接触到传统娱乐活动,并拓宽他们对生态系统的理解。故答案为:It helps them get access to the traditional recreation and broadens their understanding of ecosystems.
42. 考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中“And though they share much in common with older generations of bird-watchers when it comes to their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, they also have a distinct advantage over the elders: being better at using digital tools to improve their bird-watching experience. (尽管在他们对这项爱好的热情和享受方面,他们与老一辈的观鸟者有很多共同之处,但他们也有一个明显的优势:更善于使用数字工具来改善他们的观鸟体验。)”可知,年轻观鸟者比老一辈的观鸟者更善于使用数字工具来改善他们的观鸟体验,而不是“the elders hold a clear advantage over the young (老一辈的观鸟者比年轻的观鸟者有明显的优势)”。故答案为:Young bird-watchers share much in common with the elders in terms of their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby, but the elders hold a clear advantage over the young. Because they have a distinct advantage over the elders: being better at using digital tools to improve their bird-watching experience.
43.开放性题目,此题要求回答:除了观鸟,你还想在考斯比的道路上发展什么爱好?你如何开发它?答案不唯一,合理即可。例如:我想以科斯比的方式培养摄影这一爱好。我可以加入在线摄影社群,和其他人分享我的作品与拍摄技巧,还能利用图像编辑软件等数字工具来提升我的摄影水平。故答案为:I would like to develop the hobby of photography in Cosby’s way. I can join online photography communities, share my works and techniques with others, and use digital tools like image editing software to enhance my photography skills.
