For the past two months, I’ve spent weekday evenings and weekends tidying the old book section at Portland City Library. As an office worker, I sought meaningful after-work tasks — and the library’s volunteer call for organizing messy back shelves felt perfect. In the section, I found old novels mixed with history books, yellowed-page books stuffed behind new releases, and some with loose spines (书脊) that could fall apart if handled carelessly. I aimed to arrange these books into different groups, and fix minor damages gently, so readers could find them easily. So far, I’ve gone through over 150 books, most needing just a little care to be usable.
Some evenings after 6 pm work, I’d head to the library and often find boxes of poetry collections I’d overlooked under the tables. Mildew (霉点) spotted some books’ covers, so I learned from the librarian to wipe them with a soft cloth without damaging the pages. Some people who frequently came to read always asked me if we could keep worn books, such as a 1980s edition of To Kill a Mockingbird. Choosing between a slightly damaged The Old Man and the Sea and an outdated 1990s travel guide was tough — each book felt like it held its own story.
I’ve loved old books since childhood — running my fingers over pages feels like connecting with past readers, and head librarian Ms. Lopez said, “Emily, you handle things with such attention to detail — that’s exactly what these books need.” Her trust encouraged me to try as hard as I could in this volunteering work.
Very often, I feel worn out — like staying up late on Fridays to fix a book’s loose spine, then waking early for work the next day. Last week, an elderly man came in looking for a 1970s travel book he’d read as a teen, and I’d just sorted it onto the “Classic Travel” shelf. His wide smile made all those tiring nights disappear. I’m not perfect at this work, but I keep going — for the books, and the readers waiting to find them.
4. What was one of Emily’s after-work jobs in the library?
A. Sorting old books by type. B. Recycling classic books.
C. Organizing new releases by author. D. Registering damaged books.
5. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 2?
A. She has a preference for novels. B. She’s familiar with some readers.
C. She’s interested in writing poetry. D. She does well in repairing book spines.
6. How does Ms. Lopez find the author?
A. She’s careful. B. She’s humorous.
C. She’s knowledgeable. D. She’s demanding.
7. Why was the elderly man mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To praise his reading habit. B. To show continuous tiredness.
C. To describe a difficult learner. D. To prove the significance of the author’s work.
C
China is at the forefront of a transportation revolution with the rapid expansion of its robotaxi services, particularly Baidu’s Apollo Go. Since its appearance in Wuhan in 2022, Apollo Go has spread to 11 Chinese cities, completing an impressive 6 million rides. Despite the requirement for passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost of a ride.
Apollo Go currently boasts over 400 driverless cars in Wuhan, with ambitions to expand to 1,000 by the end of 2024. Most of the cars in Wuhan possess “Level Four” autonomy, allowing them to operate without human intervention in most driving scenarios, although they may struggle in complex environments like parking garages. As technology advances and costs decrease, Baidu anticipates that its robotaxis will become financially self-sustaining by the end of the year, with profits expected in 2025. This is a significant development in the taxi industry.
However, the rise of robotaxis has not been welcomed by all. Wuhan’s taxi drivers are fearing their roles will be replaced by technology. It is unclear how China’s government will deal with their worries. Local officials are actively competing to attract businesses, with Beijing recently drafting new guidelines to regulate autonomous driving, aiming to make the industry more transparent and predictable.
In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the concerns of Chinese taxi drivers.
8. What makes Apollo Go popular among riders?
A. Its extremely good service.
B. Its relatively cheap service.
C. Its completely automatical control.
D. Unnecessary reservation in advance.
9. What is Baidu’s financial strategy for its robotaxi service?
A. To count on official helps.
B. To charge high fares initially.
C. To cover a major part of the cost.
D. To avoid financial involvement.
10. What can be inferred about the future of robotaxis in China?
A. They will be limited to developed cities.
B. They are expected to become profitable.
C. They will face significant regulatory difficulties.
D. They are likely to be replaced by other vehicles.
11. Why does the author mention General Motors and Tesla?
A. To make a comparison between them.
B. To introduce competitors of Apollo Go.
C. To present global situations of robotaxis.
D. To explain reasons for the unemployment.
D
Dog owners often believe that their pets understand commands such as “sit” and “stay”, and even associate words with their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that.
But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have.
A recent study conducted in Hungary, appearing in Current Biology, explores this issue. It involved 18 dogs and employed a non-invasive EEG procedure to measure their brain activity. Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as “ball” or “frisbee”, and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not.
Boros, a co-lead writer of the study, said “A different brain pattern appeared when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not, indicating that they might create a mental image of the object upon hearing its name. That was previously unproven.”
Lilla Magyari, another co-lead writer, noted that while other animals have shown some level of referential understanding, they often require extensive training. In contrast, the study suggests that in dogs, such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent. This finding supports that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans.
Despite the study’s promising results, some experts are skeptical. Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs’ responses to stimuli (刺激物), rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words.
Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question.
12. What does “referential understanding” refer to?
A. Associating words with emotions. B. Responding actively to commands.
C. Forming mental images of objects. D. Learning objects through training.
13. How did researchers test dogs’ brain responses?
A. By using different audio tones. B. By adjusting shapes of objects.
C. By matching objects with words. D. By comparing different objects.
14. Which does Clive Wynne agree with about the study?
A. It overestimates dogs’ cognitive abilities.
B. It is widely accepted by the scientific field.
C. It proves dogs know specific words very well.
D. It provides a new insight about dogs’ evolution.
15. What’s the text mainly about?
A. What dog owners’ belief about their pets is.
B. What dogs’ response to the different objects is.
C. Whether we can train dogs to follow commands.
D. Whether referential understanding exists in Dogs.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane was a sweet farm girl, brought up by her late grandmother. Her family managed a stretch of cornfield. The cornfield lay south of a stream, which was in turn south of vast woods. When she was little, her days were mostly spent running and exploring on the cornfield where her parents worked.
Jane had always loved nature, as her grandmother would take her on engaging walks through the cornfield and sometimes into the woods. Together, they would marvel at how ants worked together to carry leaves many times their size or how spiders wove perfect webs for food. “There’s so much wisdom in the world around’ us,” her grandmother would say, “All you have to do is look carefully and listen intently.”
She also got inspiration from her science lessons. Her teacher introduced a fascinating topic: beavers. Jane listened attentively and learned how these industrious animals build natural dams. She marveled at how these amazing creatures build such a steady architecture (dam) simply with branches, stones and mud by the riverbank. She was also surprised to know that they make an overflow channel to let extra water flow into a low, grassy area. “Beavers are such wise engineers. They don’t just block water with their dams, but they also redirect it.” the teacher vividly illustrated. Jane was totally captivated. It reminded her of Grandma’s lessons on the cornfield.
Rainy seasons came, and the air thick with the promise of storm. Staring out of the window, Dad sighed, and worriedly said: “When the stream overflows, the cornfield will be flooded.” Mom held his hand tightly. “We’ll just have to hope the damage is not too severe,” she sighed quietly, “if only there’s a way...”
Silence swelled the room. Jane was filled with worry. Her thoughts lingered on the cornfield that held the cherished memories of countless walks with Grandma, though she was not with her any more. Jane felt an overwhelming need to protect this special place from the upcoming storm.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Thinking of grandma’s words, Jane spoke up: “I have an idea!”

It having rained for several days, the water level rose.

For the past two months, I’ve spent weekday evenings and weekends tidying the old book section at Portland City Library. As an office worker, I sought meaningful after-work tasks — and the library’s volunteer call for organizing messy back shelves felt perfect. In the section, I found old novels mixed with history books, yellowed-page books stuffed behind new releases, and some with loose spines (书脊) that could fall apart if handled carelessly. I aimed to arrange these books into different groups, and fix minor damages gently, so readers could find them easily. So far, I’ve gone through over 150 books, most needing just a little care to be usable.
Some evenings after 6 pm work, I’d head to the library and often find boxes of poetry collections I’d overlooked under the tables. Mildew (霉点) spotted some books’ covers, so I learned from the librarian to wipe them with a soft cloth without damaging the pages. Some people who frequently came to read always asked me if we could keep worn books, such as a 1980s edition of To Kill a Mockingbird. Choosing between a slightly damaged The Old Man and the Sea and an outdated 1990s travel guide was tough — each book felt like it held its own story.
I’ve loved old books since childhood — running my fingers over pages feels like connecting with past readers, and head librarian Ms. Lopez said, “Emily, you handle things with such attention to detail — that’s exactly what these books need.” Her trust encouraged me to try as hard as I could in this volunteering work.
Very often, I feel worn out — like staying up late on Fridays to fix a book’s loose spine, then waking early for work the next day. Last week, an elderly man came in looking for a 1970s travel book he’d read as a teen, and I’d just sorted it onto the “Classic Travel” shelf. His wide smile made all those tiring nights disappear. I’m not perfect at this work, but I keep going — for the books, and the readers waiting to find them.
4. What was one of Emily’s after-work jobs in the library?
A. Sorting old books by type. B. Recycling classic books.
C. Organizing new releases by author. D. Registering damaged books.
5. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 2?
A. She has a preference for novels. B. She’s familiar with some readers.
C. She’s interested in writing poetry. D. She does well in repairing book spines.
6. How does Ms. Lopez find the author?

China is at the forefront of a transportation revolution with the rapid expansion of its robotaxi services, particularly Baidu’s Apollo Go. Since its appearance in Wuhan in 2022, Apollo Go has spread to 11 Chinese cities, completing an impressive 6 million rides. Despite the requirement for passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost of a ride.
Apollo Go currently boasts over 400 driverless cars in Wuhan, with ambitions to expand to 1,000 by the end of 2024. Most of the cars in Wuhan possess “Level Four” autonomy, allowing them to operate without human intervention in most driving scenarios, although they may struggle in complex environments like parking garages. As technology advances and costs decrease, Baidu anticipates that its robotaxis will become financially self-sustaining by the end of the year, with profits expected in 2025. This is a significant development in the taxi industry.
However, the rise of robotaxis has not been welcomed by all. Wuhan’s taxi drivers are fearing their roles will be replaced by technology. It is unclear how China’s government will deal with their worries. Local officials are actively competing to attract businesses, with Beijing recently drafting new guidelines to regulate autonomous driving, aiming to make the industry more transparent and predictable.
In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the concerns of Chinese taxi drivers.
8. What makes Apollo Go popular among riders?
A. Its extremely good service.
B. Its relatively cheap service.
C. Its completely automatical control.
D. Unnecessary reservation in advance.
9. What is Baidu’s financial strategy for its robotaxi service?
A. To count on official helps.
B. To charge high fares initially.
C. To cover a major part of the cost.
D. To avoid financial involvement.
10. What can be inferred about the future of robotaxis in China?
A. They will be limited to developed cities.
B. They are expected to become profitable.
C. They will face significant regulatory difficulties.
D. They are likely to be replaced by other vehicles.
11. Why does the author mention General Motors and Tesla?
A. To make a comparison between them.
B. To introduce competitors of Apollo Go.
C. To present global situations of robotaxis.
D. To explain reasons for the unemployment.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C

Dog owners often believe that their pets understand commands such as “sit” and “stay”, and even associate words with their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that.
But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have.
A recent study conducted in Hungary, appearing in Current Biology, explores this issue. It involved 18 dogs and employed a non-invasive EEG procedure to measure their brain activity. Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as “ball” or “frisbee”, and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not.
Boros, a co-lead writer of the study, said “A different brain pattern appeared when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not, indicating that they might create a mental image of the object upon hearing its name. That was previously unproven.”
Lilla Magyari, another co-lead writer, noted that while other animals have shown some level of referential understanding, they often require extensive training. In contrast, the study suggests that in dogs, such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent. This finding supports that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans.
Despite the study’s promising results, some experts are skeptical. Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs’ responses to stimuli (刺激物), rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words.
Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question.
12. What does “referential understanding” refer to?
A. Associating words with emotions. B. Responding actively to commands.
C. Forming mental images of objects. D. Learning objects through training.
13. How did researchers test dogs’ brain responses?
A. By using different audio tones. B. By adjusting shapes of objects.
C. By matching objects with words. D. By comparing different objects.
14. Which does Clive Wynne agree with about the study?
A. It overestimates dogs’ cognitive abilities.
B. It is widely accepted by the scientific field.
C. It proves dogs know specific words very well.
D. It provides a new insight about dogs’ evolution.
15. What’s the text mainly about?
A. What dog owners’ belief about their pets is.
B. What dogs’ response to the different objects is.
C. Whether we can train dogs to follow commands.
D. Whether referential understanding exists in Dogs.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于狗是否具有指称理解能力,即是否能在听到物体名称时在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像的科学研究。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have.(但科学一直难以确定,狗和其他动物在听到物体的名字时,是否真的会在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像,这种与语言的关系被称为referential understanding,这表明它们对人类语言有着更深的理解)”可知,referential understanding指的前文中“狗和其他动物在听到物体的名字时,在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像”这一现象,所以,referential understanding指的是“在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像”。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as ‘ball’ or ‘frisbee,’ and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not.(研究人员播放了狗主人说出物体名称(如‘球’或‘飞盘’)的音频片段,然后向狗展示相应的物体或不同的物体,以观察当物体与单词匹配时,与不匹配时相比,狗是否会表现出明显的大脑反应)”可知,研究人员是通过将物体与单词匹配来测试狗的大脑反应的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs’ responses to stimuli (刺激物), rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words.(亚利桑那州立大学的克莱夫·温恩在脸书上争论说,这项研究只证明了狗对刺激物的反应,而不是对特定单词的理解。他怀疑狗是否真正理解单词的确切含义)”可知,克莱夫·温恩认为这项研究高估了狗的认知能力,只是证明了狗对刺激物的反应,而不是对特定单词的理解。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding(但科学一直难以确定,狗和其他动物在听到物体的名字时,是否真的会在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像,这种与语言的关系被称为指称理解)”和最后一段中“However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question.(然而,这种长期的共同居住历史是否有助于它们理解指称语言的能力仍然是一个悬而未决的问题)”可知,文章主要介绍了关于狗是否具有指称理解能力的科学研究,即探讨狗是否能在听到物体名称时在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像。故选D项。

Manage Our weekends, Build Our Future
As is widely seen, nowadays, many of us students fail to manage our weekends properly. Playing video games has become a widespread addiction; many get up nearly at noon, not doing homework until the last hour, leading to a tiring start of a new week.
There must be a change to this. Not only should we make a short plan on Friday nights, dividing time between study and rest, but we should also balance learning with our healthy hobbies.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane was a sweet farm girl, brought up by her late grandmother. Her family managed a stretch of cornfield. The cornfield lay south of a stream, which was in turn south of vast woods. When she was little, her days were mostly spent running and exploring on the cornfield where her parents worked.
Jane had always loved nature, as her grandmother would take her on engaging walks through the cornfield and sometimes into the woods. Together, they would marvel at how ants worked together to carry leaves many times their size or how spiders wove perfect webs for food. “There’s so much wisdom in the world around’ us,” her grandmother would say, “All you have to do is look carefully and listen intently.”
She also got inspiration from her science lessons. Her teacher introduced a fascinating topic: beavers. Jane listened attentively and learned how these industrious animals build natural dams. She marveled at how these amazing creatures build such a steady architecture (dam) simply with branches, stones and mud by the riverbank. She was also surprised to know that they make an overflow channel to let extra water flow into a low, grassy area. “Beavers are such wise engineers. They don’t just block water with their dams, but they also redirect it.” the teacher vividly illustrated. Jane was totally captivated. It reminded her of Grandma’s lessons on the cornfield.
Rainy seasons came, and the air thick with the promise of storm. Staring out of the window, Dad sighed, and worriedly said: “When the stream overflows, the cornfield will be flooded.” Mom held his hand tightly. “We’ll just have to hope the damage is not too severe,” she sighed quietly, “if only there’s a way...”
Silence swelled the room. Jane was filled with worry. Her thoughts lingered on the cornfield that held the cherished memories of countless walks with Grandma, though she was not with her any more. Jane felt an overwhelming need to protect this special place from the upcoming storm.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Thinking of grandma’s words, Jane spoke up: “I have an idea!” “We could learn from the beavers! To redirect the water with a dam.” She announced to her parents with light of inspiration shimmering in her eyes. Hearing out Jane’s plan, the family set out for the cornfield with some gloves, buckets, shovels and a cart. No sooner had they arrived at the stream bank, they sprang to work, gathering branches and stones to build a structure before gluing them steady with mud. Then, with the shovels, they together dug a narrow channel to guide the rushing water away from the cornfield, directing it towards the vast woods. Tough though the work was, the family worked tirelessly. With all the preparation work done, they hoped for the best. Before long, a rainstorm arrived.
It having rained for several days, the water level rose. Standing at the window with a worried heart, Jane checked the cornfield from time to time. Overlooking at the lush field, she broke out a proud smile — the cornfield remained untouched and flourishing, a vivid sea of green stretching peacefully. Her parents joined her at the window, eyes widening in disbelief and gratitude as they realized their precious cornfield had been spared. “Jane, your idea worked!” Mom exclaimed, pulling her into a tight hug. Dad, usually reserved, gave her a proud, hearty pat on the back, as he uttered in an approving voice: “We all learned a lot from those beavers.” It dawned on her that this experience had deepened her love for nature, igniting in her a passion to learn its secrets and share its wisdom.
