Here is a brief selection of desert reads. Get a glimpse of awe-inspiring vistas, rugged wildlife, tales of resilience and more.The Land of Little Rain By Mary Austin, Penguin Classics: 128 pp., $17 (1903; reprinted 1997) Arguably the first lyrical essay collection about the California desert, Austin drew on her Owens Valley travels, covering mining, tribal life, weather and water. The book is thrilling in its close attention to details. Here, she writes, “It is possible to live with great energy, to have red blood and delicate joys.”Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness By Edward Abbey, Ballantine Books: 352 pp., $10 (1968; reprinted 1985) Abbey’s bestselling memoir revealed the Southwest’s beauty and fragility, depicting awe-inspiring vistas while thundering against those who damage it. Often likened to Walden, Abbey’s darkly humorous voice gave Western literature a tone distinct from East Coast gentility and folksy cowboy writing.Mecca By Susan Straight, V: 384 pp., $19 (2022) A contemporary epic set in the Coachella Valley, Straight’s novel offers a cross-section of desert inhabitants — a motorcycle officer, a spa employee, a family rocked by a police shooting — set against the demands of desert life. It speaks to the present while exploring the region’s long history.The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas By Obi Kaufmann, Heyday, 576 pp., $55 (2023) Kaufmann’s illustrated field guide to the state’s dry regions is wide-ranging geographically and in species covered. Built for both backpack and end table, it offers detailed descriptions alongside requests for the land’s preservation. 21．(2.5分)What distinguishes The Land of Little Rain from others? A．It argues for the preservation of desert land. B．It focuses on the lyrical details of desert life. C．It is based on the author’s travels in the Southwest. D．It pioneered a lyrical approach to writing about desert. 22．(2.5分)Which book is suitable for a traveller to carry? A．The Land of Little Rain. B．Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness. C．Mecca. D．The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas. 23．(2.5分)What do the four books have in common? A．They were all published in the 20th century. B．They were all written by California natives. C．They are all set in or about desert regions. D．They all focus primarily on desert wildlife. 【答案】21．D 22．D 23．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文推荐了四本以沙漠为主题的书籍，分别介绍了作者、内容特点与阅读价值，展现沙漠的丰富与独特。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“Arguably the first lyrical essay collection about the California desert.(它可以说是第一本关于加利福尼亚沙漠的抒情散文集。)”可知，该书开创了描写沙漠的抒情写作方式，这是它与众不同之处。故选D项。 22．细节理解题。根据第五段“Built for both backpack and end table, it offers detailed descriptions alongside requests for the land’s preservation.(这本书既适合放在背包里随身携带，也适合摆在茶几上。)”可知，The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas适合旅行者随身携带。故选D项。 23．细节理解题。根据第一段“Here is a brief selection of desert reads.(以下是几本以沙漠为主题的精选读物。)”以及下文对四本书的介绍可知，这四本书的共同点是都以沙漠地区为背景或主题。故选C项。 （本题10分）Zach, a fourth grader, sits alone in the school cafeteria. At break, he skirts the edges (边缘) of the playground, not joining in. He doesn’t play sports, so he doesn’t mix well with the other boys in his class. His mother is concerned about that. At most schools, this child might become lonely and even sad. But at Graham Elementary School in Naperville, Illinois, teachers moved him around to different groups for class projects until he clicked with another boy. “Suddenly, Zach had a best friend. They would hang out together, and help each other with homework,” says Zach’s mother. Sue Clendening, the principal of Graham Elementary, believes that friendships are just as important as schoolwork. For years she had watched children get their feelings hurt at break and they couldn’t focus on their lessons afterward. Two years ago, she decided to do something about it. Clendening surveyed the students to learn who had friends and who didn’t. She found that 30 percent of the children in fourth grade said they were often alone on the playground because no one wanted to play with them. Some students even wrote their own names on the survey under the question, “Who most needs a friend?” Clendening shared the survey results with her teachers. She flagged lonely kids and got teachers to put them in groups of children where they might make friends. The school also started after-school clubs like book club and chess club so that children could find like-minded people. Each week, a lunch group brings together shy children and more social children to talk with a social worker. “I believe social skills can be taught the same way math can be taught,” says Clendening. “A growing body of research points to social skills being as important as academic (学业的) skills for future success.” 24．(2.5分)Why does Zach’s mother feel concerned? A．He has trouble making friends. B．He forms the habit of playing outside. C．He prefers to go to school alone. D．He spends too much time on homework. 25．(2.5分)What did Clendening’s survey show? A．Some students were left out and felt lonely. B．Few children had an interest in school activities. C．Most children were unhappy with their grades. D．30 percent of students wanted to play in groups. 26．(2.5分)What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A．How the children feel about social ties. B．How the teachers share the survey results. C．How the school draws out lonely kids. D．How the social workers help shy children. 27．(2.5分)What do Clendening’s words suggest? A．She pays more attention to math lessons. B．Friendship building can hardly be taught. C．Academic skills are the key to one’s success. D．She values social skills as part of education. 【答案】24．A 25．A 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。美国格雷厄姆小学(Graham Elementary School)通过开展社团活动、邀请社工进校园等措施，让孤独儿童融入集体，帮助他们建立友谊、提升社交能力。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Zach, a fourth grader, sits alone in the school cafeteria. At break, he skirts the edges (边缘) of the playground, not joining in. He doesn’t play sports, so he doesn’t mix well with the other boys in his class. His mother is concerned about that. (四年级学生Zach独自坐在学校的自助餐厅里。课间休息时，他绕着操场的边缘走，不加入进来。他不参加体育运动，所以他和班上其他男孩相处得不好。他的母亲对此很担心。)”可知，Zach的妈妈担心他交不到朋友。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据第五段“Clendening surveyed the students to learn who had friends and who didn’t．She found that 30 percent of the children in fourth grade said they were often alone on the playground because no one wanted to play with them．(Clendening调查了这些学生，了解谁有朋友，谁没有朋友。她发现，30%的四年级学生说，他们经常一个人在操场上玩，因为没有人想和他们一起玩。)”可知，Clendening的调查结果显示，部分学生感到孤独、无法融入集体。故选A。 26．主旨大意题。根据第六段“Clendening shared the survey results with her teachers．She flagged lonely kids and got teachers to put them in groups of children where they might make friends．The school also started after-school clubs like book club and chess club so that children could find like-minded people．Each week, a lunch group brings together shy children and more social children to talk with a social worker．(Clendening与她的老师分享了调查结果。她把孤独的孩子标记出来，让老师把他们分成一组，在那里他们可能会交到朋友。学校还开办了课外俱乐部，如读书俱乐部和象棋俱乐部，这样孩子们就可以找到志同道合的人。每周，一个午餐小组将害羞的孩子和更善于交际的孩子聚集在一起，与社会工作者交谈。)”可知，本段主要介绍格雷厄姆小学采取一系列措施，如开展小组社交活动、开设校园社团、邀请社工进校园等，帮助孤独孩子融入校园集体。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段““I believe social skills can be taught the same way math can be taught,” says Clendening．“A growing body of research points to social skills being as important as academic(学业的) skills for future success.” (“我相信社交技能可以像教授数学一样教授，”克伦丁宁说。“越来越多的研究指出，对于未来的成功来说，社交技能和学术技能一样重要。”)”可推断，Clendening把社交能力视为教育不可或缺的一部分。故选D。 （本题10分）Lin Yutang’s The Importance of Living is a humorous and philosophical (哲学的) exploration of the art of living. The book is a reflection of Lin Yutang’s view that true happiness can only be found in the small pleasures of everyday life. In the book, he challenges traditional concepts of success and happiness, arguing that the pursuit of wealth and fame can lead to a life of stress and unhappiness. Instead, he encourages readers to embrace their own unique habits and talents, and to find joy and meaning in their everyday experiences. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the art of living. In the section “Sensations”, for example, Lin Yutang describes the pleasure of eating, drinking, and sleeping, and he encourages readers to take time to enjoy these experiences. He writes, “The Chinese are gastronomes (美食家). They love to eat, and they eat with enthusiasm.” In the section “Freedom”, Lin Yutang explores the importance of individuality and creativity in living a satisfying life. He writes, “The important thing is not what we do, but how we do it. The important thing is not what we have, but how we use it.” Throughout the book, Lin Yutang’s unique brand of humor is evident. He uses wit to comment on social and political issues, and to challenge traditional values and customs. For example, he writes, “Some Chinese are gossipers (说闲话者). They love to talk about each other, and they talk with enjoyment.” This observation reflects his belief that gossip can be harmless amusement, and that it can even bring people together. Overall, The Importance of Living is an interesting read. Lin Yutang’s unique sense of humor and insight (洞察力) make it a pleasure to read, and his philosophy of life is both inspiring and practical. Lin Yutang’s wit, wisdom, and creativity are fully presented, which continue to attract readers around the world today. 28．(2.5分)What is the art of living according to Lin Yutang? A．Getting a sense of achievement in big successes. B．Finding and enjoying happiness in daily life. C．Exploring different talents from an early age.

B．The preference for food shows our personality. C．Creativity exists in different forms in life. D．We tend to consider wealth and fame first. 30．(2.5分)Why are gossipers mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To show Lin’s openness to social issues. B．To stress Lin’s rich knowledge and experience. C．To describe Lin’s deep research on the Chinese.

C．To show Lin Yutang’s achievements. D．To introduce Lin Yutang’s book. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍林语堂《生活的艺术》的核心思想、内容与写作特色。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The book is a reflection of Lin Yutang’s view that true happiness can only be found in the small pleasures of everyday life. (这本书反映了林语堂的观点，即真正的幸福只能在日常生活中的小乐趣中找到。)”可知，林语堂认为生活的艺术是在日常生活中发现并享受快乐。故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the section “Freedom, Lin Yutang explores the importance of individuality and creativity in living a satisfying life．He writes, “The important thing is not what we do, but how we do it．The important thing is not what we have, but how we use it.” (在“自由”一节中，林语堂探讨了个性和创造力在过上满意生活中的重要性。他写道：“重要的不是我们做什么，而是我们怎么做。重要的不是我们拥有什么，而是我们如何使用它。”)”可知，林语堂通过“自由”这一节想表达我们思考和处理事情的方式很重要。故选A。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Throughout the book, Lin Yutang’s unique brand of humor is evident．He uses wit to comment on social and political issues, and to challenge traditional values and customs．(在整本书中，林语堂独特的幽默风格显而易见。他用机智来评论社会和政治问题，挑战传统价值观和习俗。)”以及“This observation reflects his belief that gossip can be harmless amusement, and that it can even bring people together．(这一观察反映了他的信念，即闲聊可以是无害的娱乐，甚至可以拉近人们的距离。)”可知，第三段提到说闲话者是为了展示林语堂对社会问题的开放态度。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中“Lin Yutang’s The Importance of Living is a humorous and philosophical exploration of the art of living．(林语堂的《生活的艺术》是对生活艺术的一种幽默而哲学的探索。)”以及最后一段中“Overall, The Importance of Living is an interesting read. (总的来说，《生活的艺术》是一本有趣的读物。)”可知，全文围绕《生活的艺术》这本书展开，介绍其内容、观点与风格，故作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍林语堂的这本书。故选D。 （本题10分）Nowadays, poetry and science are always regarded to be contradictory in a sense. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms appears among scientists again as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice (伤害) to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’ re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 32．(2.5分)Why are the famous figures mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To highlight scientific poems were out of favor. B．To show poetry and science can be associated. C．To advocate people choose different career paths. D．To display they were talented and accomplished. 33．(2.5分)What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do? A．Inspire science communication through poems. B．Deepen poets’ understanding of scientific journals. C．Encourage outsiders to pursue their dreams in science. D．Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research. 34．(2.5分)What is Illingworth’s attitude towards the dominant ways of science communication? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Indifferent. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Scientists Take on Poetry B．Scientists and Poets Think Alike C．Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the World D．Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue 【答案】32．B 33．A 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家和诗人之间的联系。文章提到了一些名人，以显示诗歌和科学并不总是被认为是互相排斥的职业道路。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms appears among scientists again as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.(数学家Ada Lovelace和物理学家James Clerk Maxwell都是杰出的诗人。诗人约翰·济慈是一名持证外科医生。在19世纪，将这两种做法结合起来不再受欢迎。但是，科学家们再次将研究转化为歌词、俳句和其他诗歌形式，因为他们正在寻找其他方法来用他们的发现激励他人。)”可知，原文中提到了传统观念中的诗人和科学家不同，但也提到了历史上有一些科学家也具有诗人才华。由此推知，提到这些历史人物的目的是表明诗歌和科学是可以相结合的。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.(通过研讨会和一本名为《Consilience》的新科学诗歌杂志，伊林沃思正在帮助科学家将他们的最新成果转化为诗歌，以吸引他们所在科学领域以外的人的欣赏。)”可知，伊林沃思的研讨会旨在鼓励通过诗歌进行科学交流。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides．(伊林沃思也认同这一观点，他认为科学传播活动往往被那些只用幻灯片进行展示、缺乏互动的公开讲座所主导。)”可知，伊林沃思认为，现在主流的科学传播方式存在问题，对此是持批评态度的。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章开篇指出诗歌和科学曾有关联，现在科学家又开始用诗歌形式传播研究成果，接着通过伊林沃思等人的做法及观点阐述科学家借助诗歌进行科学交流等内容，整体围绕科学家从事诗歌创作、用诗歌传播科学展开。由此可知，A选项Scientists Take on Poetry(科学家投身诗歌)能概括文章主旨。故选A。 （本题12.5分）Have you ever wondered how to turn plain lines into striking poetry? Many beginners find polishing poems confusing. This article shares useful ideas to sharpen your poetic expressions step by step. ____36(2.5分)____ Avoid relying on abstract language and ground your poem in specific images of people, places, and objects. You can also engage all five senses — smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound — to pull your readers into the world you’re building and make images come alive for them. Say you want to express happiness. Instead of stating “I felt happy”, paint a scene with sensory details: “My smile lit up the room like wildfire.” Include literary devices. Techniques like metaphors and similes (暗喻和明喻) add variety and depth to your poetry. ____37(2.5分)____ It’s a good practice to use literary devices throughout your poem, but avoid relying merely on metaphors or just similes. Remember to vary your types in your writing. Write for the ear. ____38(2.5分)____ You should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page. As you put down your ideas, spare no effort to think about how your writing sounds when read. This habit gives you freedom to arrange poem structures and select delicate words, and helps you explore natural line flow as well as unique sounds from adjacent (临近的) words. Avoid clichés (陈词滥调). ____39(2.5分)____ Instead, go for fresh, imaginative descriptions to appeal to your readers. If a line feels too commonplace, replace it with something more original. For example, instead of writing “She was as busy as a bee”, try “Her hands were never still” or “She rushed through the kitchen without pause”. ____40(2.5分)____ A．Focus on vivid, concrete details. B．Look through examples of poetry. C．Poetry is made to be read out loud. D．Creative choices make your poetry stand out and feel alive. E．Using them can allow you to paint a detailed picture for your readers. F．You should also make sure spelling and grammar in the poem are correct. G．These overused phrases have lost their impact because they’re too familiar. 【答案】36．A 37．E 38．C 39．G 40．D 【导语】短文旨在帮助诗歌初学者解决在润色诗歌时遇到的困惑，逐步提升诗歌表达能力，文章分享了将普通语句转化为动人诗歌的实用方法。 【详解】36．根据后文“Avoid relying on abstract language and ground your poem in specific images of people, places, and objects. You can also engage all five senses — smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound — to pull your readers into the world you’re building and make images come alive for them.(避免使用抽象语言，将你的诗歌建立在人、地点和物体的具体形象之上。你还可以调动五种感官——嗅觉、味觉、触觉、视觉和听觉——将读者带入你构建的世界，让这些形象在他们眼前鲜活起来)”，强调诗歌创作要注重具体生动的细节描写。A选项“Focus on vivid, concrete details.(专注于生动、具体的细节)”能够概括这部分内容，作为小标题引出后文关于如何通过具体形象和感官细节进行诗歌创作的阐述。 37．根据前文“Techniques like metaphors and similes (暗喻和明喻) add variety and depth to your poetry.(像暗喻和明喻这样的技巧为你的诗歌增添了多样性和深度)”说明文学手法对诗歌的作用。E选项“Using them can allow you to paint a detailed picture for your readers.(使用它们可以让你为读者描绘出一幅详细的画面)”中的“Using them”指代前文的“Techniques like metaphors and similes”，进一步阐述了使用这些文学手法能为读者描绘详细画面，与前文关于文学手法作用的内容相呼应。 38．根据前文“Write for the ear.(为耳朵而写)”以及根据后文“You should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page．As you put down your ideas, spare no effort to think about how your writing sounds when read.(你写诗时应该关注它在纸上呈现出的声音效果。当你写下想法时，不遗余力地思考你的作品读起来的声音如何)”，都围绕诗歌创作要注重声音效果展开。C选项“Poetry is made to be read out loud.(诗歌是用来大声朗读的)”表明诗歌具有需大声朗读的特点，这与为耳朵而写以及关注诗歌读起来的声音相契合。 39．根据前文“Avoid clichés (陈词滥调).(避免陈词滥调)”以及根据后文“Instead, go for fresh, imaginative descriptions to appeal to your readers.(相反，采用新颖、富有想象力的描述来吸引读者)”。G选项“These overused phrases have lost their impact because they’re too familiar.(这些过度使用的短语由于太过熟悉而失去了影响力)”中的“These overused phrases”指代前文的“clichés”，解释了为什么要避免陈词滥调，即因为它们过度使用且太过熟悉而失去影响力，与前后文逻辑连贯。 40．根据前文“For example, instead of writing “She was as busy as a bee”, try “Her hands were never still” or “She rushed through the kitchen without pause”.(例如，不要写“她像蜜蜂一样忙碌”，可以试试“她的手从未停歇”或“她不停地在厨房里穿梭”)”展示了如何避免陈词滥调，采用新颖表达。D选项“Creative choices make your poetry stand out and feel alive.(有创意的选择会让你的诗歌脱颖而出，充满生机)”对前文内容进行总结，强调了避免陈词滥调，做出有创意选择对诗歌的积极影响。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）In the UK, one in every three children lives in poverty.

That idea stayed with him until his junior year, when his science teacher Mr. White announced a technology design competition. Seeing it as a chance to prove himself, Evan signed up at once, sure that his long hours of devotion would finally bring success. His project was a voice-controlled study helper, a small device that could respond to simple commands and remind users of their tasks. The idea sounded useful, and for weeks, Evan worked alone in his room, surrounded by notes, wires, and small parts. He rarely showed his work to others, believing that solving problems by himself meant real ability. When the device worked, Evan felt overjoyed. On the day of the competition, the school hall was full of energy. Machines lit up, screens flashed, and students spoke confidently about their designs. Some students demonstrated smart lights, while others presented robots or energy-saving inventions. Evan set up his device carefully and began his presentation. At first, everything seemed fine. But when the judges asked him to test it in a noisy environment, the device failed to respond. Evan repeated the command, adjusting the settings quickly, but the system stayed silent. Heat rose to his face as the voices around him seemed suddenly louder. The moment felt longer than it was, and soon the judges moved on. That evening, Evan sat at his desk, looking at the silent device. In the following days, he tried to avoid thinking about the competition, but his thoughts kept returning. While reading through his notebook, he noticed how often he had skipped careful testing because he was too eager to finish. He had trusted his first success too easily and ignored the possibility that real conditions might be different. What troubled him most was not simply the loss, but the realization that he had mistaken working alone for working well. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition.   ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over. He first asked Mr. White for advice, who pointed out his lack of testing and teamwork. Evan then invited two classmates good at programming and acoustics to join him. They improved the device’s noise cancellation together, testing it in crowded classrooms and busy corridors over and over again. Every small problem was discussed openly, and Evan learned to listen to others’ opinions instead of working alone. He also recorded every test result, and adjusted the settings patiently until the device worked perfectly in any environment. Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition. This time, he presented his improved voice-controlled study helper confidently. He calmly introduced the design concept and detailed improvement process of his work.

Here is a brief selection of desert reads. Get a glimpse of awe-inspiring vistas, rugged wildlife, tales of resilience and more.The Land of Little Rain By Mary Austin, Penguin Classics: 128 pp., $17 (1903; reprinted 1997) Arguably the first lyrical essay collection about the California desert, Austin drew on her Owens Valley travels, covering mining, tribal life, weather and water. The book is thrilling in its close attention to details. Here, she writes, “It is possible to live with great energy, to have red blood and delicate joys.”Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness By Edward Abbey, Ballantine Books: 352 pp., $10 (1968; reprinted 1985) Abbey’s bestselling memoir revealed the Southwest’s beauty and fragility, depicting awe-inspiring vistas while thundering against those who damage it. Often likened to Walden, Abbey’s darkly humorous voice gave Western literature a tone distinct from East Coast gentility and folksy cowboy writing.Mecca By Susan Straight, V: 384 pp., $19 (2022) A contemporary epic set in the Coachella Valley, Straight’s novel offers a cross-section of desert inhabitants — a motorcycle officer, a spa employee, a family rocked by a police shooting — set against the demands of desert life. It speaks to the present while exploring the region’s long history.The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas By Obi Kaufmann, Heyday, 576 pp., $55 (2023) Kaufmann’s illustrated field guide to the state’s dry regions is wide-ranging geographically and in species covered. Built for both backpack and end table, it offers detailed descriptions alongside requests for the land’s preservation. 21．(2.5分)What distinguishes The Land of Little Rain from others? A．It argues for the preservation of desert land. B．It focuses on the lyrical details of desert life. C．It is based on the author’s travels in the Southwest.

D．They all focus primarily on desert wildlife. （本题10分）Zach, a fourth grader, sits alone in the school cafeteria. At break, he skirts the edges (边缘) of the playground, not joining in. He doesn’t play sports, so he doesn’t mix well with the other boys in his class. His mother is concerned about that. At most schools, this child might become lonely and even sad. But at Graham Elementary School in Naperville, Illinois, teachers moved him around to different groups for class projects until he clicked with another boy. “Suddenly, Zach had a best friend. They would hang out together, and help each other with homework,” says Zach’s mother. Sue Clendening, the principal of Graham Elementary, believes that friendships are just as important as schoolwork. For years she had watched children get their feelings hurt at break and they couldn’t focus on their lessons afterward. Two years ago, she decided to do something about it. Clendening surveyed the students to learn who had friends and who didn’t. She found that 30 percent of the children in fourth grade said they were often alone on the playground because no one wanted to play with them. Some students even wrote their own names on the survey under the question, “Who most needs a friend?” Clendening shared the survey results with her teachers. She flagged lonely kids and got teachers to put them in groups of children where they might make friends. The school also started after-school clubs like book club and chess club so that children could find like-minded people. Each week, a lunch group brings together shy children and more social children to talk with a social worker. “I believe social skills can be taught the same way math can be taught,” says Clendening. “A growing body of research points to social skills being as important as academic (学业的) skills for future success.” 24．(2.5分)Why does Zach’s mother feel concerned? A．He has trouble making friends. B．He forms the habit of playing outside. C．He prefers to go to school alone. D．He spends too much time on homework. 25．(2.5分)What did Clendening’s survey show? A．Some students were left out and felt lonely. B．Few children had an interest in school activities. C．Most children were unhappy with their grades. D．30 percent of students wanted to play in groups. 26．(2.5分)What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A．How the children feel about social ties. B．How the teachers share the survey results. C．How the school draws out lonely kids. D．How the social workers help shy children. 27．(2.5分)What do Clendening’s words suggest? A．She pays more attention to math lessons. B．Friendship building can hardly be taught. C．Academic skills are the key to one’s success. D．She values social skills as part of education. （本题10分）Lin Yutang’s The Importance of Living is a humorous and philosophical (哲学的) exploration of the art of living. The book is a reflection of Lin Yutang’s view that true happiness can only be found in the small pleasures of everyday life. In the book, he challenges traditional concepts of success and happiness, arguing that the pursuit of wealth and fame can lead to a life of stress and unhappiness. Instead, he encourages readers to embrace their own unique habits and talents, and to find joy and meaning in their everyday experiences. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the art of living. In the section “Sensations”, for example, Lin Yutang describes the pleasure of eating, drinking, and sleeping, and he encourages readers to take time to enjoy these experiences. He writes, “The Chinese are gastronomes (美食家). They love to eat, and they eat with enthusiasm.” In the section “Freedom”, Lin Yutang explores the importance of individuality and creativity in living a satisfying life. He writes, “The important thing is not what we do, but how we do it. The important thing is not what we have, but how we use it.” Throughout the book, Lin Yutang’s unique brand of humor is evident. He uses wit to comment on social and political issues, and to challenge traditional values and customs. For example, he writes, “Some Chinese are gossipers (说闲话者). They love to talk about each other, and they talk with enjoyment.” This observation reflects his belief that gossip can be harmless amusement, and that it can even bring people together. Overall, The Importance of Living is an interesting read. Lin Yutang’s unique sense of humor and insight (洞察力) make it a pleasure to read, and his philosophy of life is both inspiring and practical. Lin Yutang’s wit, wisdom, and creativity are fully presented, which continue to attract readers around the world today. 28．(2.5分)What is the art of living according to Lin Yutang? A．Getting a sense of achievement in big successes. B．Finding and enjoying happiness in daily life. C．Exploring different talents from an early age.

The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms appears among scientists again as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice (伤害) to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’ re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 32．(2.5分)Why are the famous figures mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To highlight scientific poems were out of favor. B．To show poetry and science can be associated. C．To advocate people choose different career paths. D．To display they were talented and accomplished. 33．(2.5分)What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do? A．Inspire science communication through poems. B．Deepen poets’ understanding of scientific journals. C．Encourage outsiders to pursue their dreams in science. D．Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research. 34．(2.5分)What is Illingworth’s attitude towards the dominant ways of science communication? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Indifferent. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Scientists Take on Poetry B．Scientists and Poets Think Alike C．Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the World D．Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue （本题12.5分）Have you ever wondered how to turn plain lines into striking poetry? Many beginners find polishing poems confusing. This article shares useful ideas to sharpen your poetic expressions step by step. ____36(2.5分)____ Avoid relying on abstract language and ground your poem in specific images of people, places, and objects. You can also engage all five senses — smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound — to pull your readers into the world you’re building and make images come alive for them. Say you want to express happiness. Instead of stating “I felt happy”, paint a scene with sensory details: “My smile lit up the room like wildfire.” Include literary devices. Techniques like metaphors and similes (暗喻和明喻) add variety and depth to your poetry. ____37(2.5分)____ It’s a good practice to use literary devices throughout your poem, but avoid relying merely on metaphors or just similes. Remember to vary your types in your writing. Write for the ear. ____38(2.5分)____ You should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page. As you put down your ideas, spare no effort to think about how your writing sounds when read. This habit gives you freedom to arrange poem structures and select delicate words, and helps you explore natural line flow as well as unique sounds from adjacent (临近的) words. Avoid clichés (陈词滥调). ____39(2.5分)____ Instead, go for fresh, imaginative descriptions to appeal to your readers. If a line feels too commonplace, replace it with something more original. For example, instead of writing “She was as busy as a bee”, try “Her hands were never still” or “She rushed through the kitchen without pause”. ____40(2.5分)____ A．Focus on vivid, concrete details. B．Look through examples of poetry. C．Poetry is made to be read out loud. D．Creative choices make your poetry stand out and feel alive. E．Using them can allow you to paint a detailed picture for your readers. F．You should also make sure spelling and grammar in the poem are correct. G．These overused phrases have lost their impact because they’re too familiar. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）In the UK, one in every three children lives in poverty.

That idea stayed with him until his junior year, when his science teacher Mr. White announced a technology design competition. Seeing it as a chance to prove himself, Evan signed up at once, sure that his long hours of devotion would finally bring success. His project was a voice-controlled study helper, a small device that could respond to simple commands and remind users of their tasks. The idea sounded useful, and for weeks, Evan worked alone in his room, surrounded by notes, wires, and small parts. He rarely showed his work to others, believing that solving problems by himself meant real ability. When the device worked, Evan felt overjoyed. On the day of the competition, the school hall was full of energy. Machines lit up, screens flashed, and students spoke confidently about their designs. Some students demonstrated smart lights, while others presented robots or energy-saving inventions. Evan set up his device carefully and began his presentation. At first, everything seemed fine. But when the judges asked him to test it in a noisy environment, the device failed to respond. Evan repeated the command, adjusting the settings quickly, but the system stayed silent. Heat rose to his face as the voices around him seemed suddenly louder. The moment felt longer than it was, and soon the judges moved on. That evening, Evan sat at his desk, looking at the silent device. In the following days, he tried to avoid thinking about the competition, but his thoughts kept returning. While reading through his notebook, he noticed how often he had skipped careful testing because he was too eager to finish. He had trusted his first success too easily and ignored the possibility that real conditions might be different. What troubled him most was not simply the loss, but the realization that he had mistaken working alone for working well. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition.   ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
