However, housing costs for one-bedroom homes in most of its areas are relatively high for people with a limited budget. Let’s explore four affordable districts in Richmond with unique features to help you find ideal one-bedroom homes. Elkhardt Situated beyond Richmond’s central zone, Elkhardt is a beautiful district in its southeast. Having pleasant residential streets and a mix of classic small houses and mid-century homes, it creates a relaxing atmosphere. With complete basic living facilities, it is a practical choice for young working residents. Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,249 Median sale price per square foot: $ 140 Fairmount As one of Richmond’s historic residential districts, Fairmount stands out for its unique architectural beauty. Located in the city’s East End, it features well-preserved early 1900s houses with diverse classic styles. It offers great walkability to local popular restaurants, making it ideal for people who love historic atmosphere and convenient city life. Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,153 Median sale price per square foot: $210 Cedarhurst Cedarhurst is a small, closely united Southside district formed after World War II. It is famous for tidy Cape Cod-style homes, well-kept green yards and strong community spirit. Just 10 minutes from downtown, it serves as a quiet shelter from busy urban life, perfectly suitable for those pursuing a friendly living environment. Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,210 Median sale price per square foot: $220 Worthington Worthington features peaceful suburban scenery and spacious residential designs. It mainly consists of medium and small-sized family houses, providing residents with private and comfortable living space. Besides, it offers stable community security and a quiet lifestyle, attracting experienced professionals who value living quality. Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,380 Median sale price per square foot: $180 1. How much is needed to buy a 500-square-foot home in the cheapest-rent district? A. $70,000. B. $90,000. C. $105,000.

What similarity do Elkhardt and Worthington share? A. They are located in the suburbs. B. They guarantee residents’ privacy. C. They are suitable for young workers. D. They have numerous historic buildings. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍里士满四个经济实惠的居住区，分别介绍各区特色、一居室租金与房屋单价信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Elkhardt部分中“Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,249 (一居室月均租金：1249美元)”，根据Fairmount部分中“Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,153 (一居室月均租金：1153美元)”，根据Cedarhurst部分中“Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,210 (一居室月均租金：1210美元)”，根据Worthington部分中“Average 1-bedroom monthly rent: $1,380 (一居室月均租金：1380美元)”可知，Fairmount是租金最低的区域，根据Fairmount部分中“Median sale price per square foot: $210. (每平方英尺房屋售价中位数：210美元。)”可知，500×210=105000美元。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cedarhurst部分中“It is famous for tidy Cape Cod-style homes, well-kept green yards and strong community spirit. (它以整洁的科德角风格住宅、维护良好的绿色庭院和浓厚的社区精神闻名。)”可知，Cedarhurst的特色是和谐融洽的社区氛围。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Elkhardt部分中“Situated beyond Richmond’s central zone, Elkhardt is a beautiful district in its southeast. (埃尔克哈特位于里士满中心区之外，是城市东南部的一个美丽街区。)”，以及Worthington部分中“Worthington features peaceful suburban scenery and spacious residential designs. (沃辛顿拥有宁静的郊区风光和宽敞的住宅设计。)”可知，二者都不属于城市核心闹市区，都带有远离喧嚣的近郊居住属性，这是两个街区的共同特征。 B Stepping into Maggie’s backyard, guests were greeted with a professionally designed garden full of colorful flowers, comfortable rest areas and beautiful decorations — everything fit together harmoniously. When Maggie gestured toward a special flower bed and invited guests to guess its former identity, few got the right answer; it was repurposed from a waste tire (轮胎). Maggie recalled she had longed to beautify her garden without wasting huge sums purchasing flower pots. She therefore eyed the useless tires in her garage (车库). After coating a tire with bright paint, she filled it with soil and planted flowering plants inside. The outcome was surprisingly impressive. This raised tire planter clearly divided the garden space and instantly became an eye-catching highlight. Best of all, it saved a waste tire from being abandoned and gave it a brand-new function. Walking further into the garden, guests saw her most practical tire creation: a vegetable planter. It greatly simplified the work of watering, tending and seasonal picking. Its raised edges also prevented rain from washing soil away. This fully proved that functional garden decorations depended not on pricey supplies, but on a fresh perspective on ordinary waste. Continuing toward the patio (露台), guests found Maggie’s most creative work. She remodeled an old tire into an almost unrecognizable decoration. After thorough cleaning, she wrapped the tire with thick rope and fixed a solid wooden board on top. The finished table on the patio matched the garden’s natural style perfectly. All guests admired the delicate furniture greatly, assuming it was a pricey store-bought piece. As Maggie shared, her neighbours, who once questioned her tire-collecting hobby, now frequently asked her for making tips. The most popular creation came into sight at last: a tire swing fixed to a thick tree branch. While it was the simplest work Maggie had ever made, it brought her the greatest joy. Whenever relatives brought kids to visit, the swing was occupied at once, with adults sitting by, touched by the childhood memories the swing brought back. For Maggie, the beauty of waste reuse lay in breathing warm fresh vitality into cast-offs. 4. What is Maggie’s inspiration for the tire flower bed? A. Her wish to entertain visiting guests. B. Her love for various colourful flowers. C. Her desire for affordable garden decoration. D. Her habit of recycling daily waste materials. 5. What practical advantage does the tire vegetable planter have? A. It saves water. B. It avoids soil loss. C. It boosts production. D. It catches visitors’ eyes. 6. How did Maggie’s neighbours feel about her hobby afterwards? A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful. C. Proud. D. Dismissive. 7. What important value can be found in Maggie’s tire art? A. Natural beauty exists in simplicity. B. Childhood memories fuel imagination. C. Hand-made items possess unique appeal. D. Creativity brings waste new warm beauty. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述Maggie利用废旧轮胎打造各类花园物件，变废为宝，赋予废弃物温暖生机。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Maggie recalled she had longed to beautify her garden without wasting huge sums purchasing flower pots. She therefore eyed the useless tires in her garage (车库).(玛吉回忆道，她一直想美化花园，又不想花大价钱买花盆。于是她盯上了车库里那些闲置的旧轮胎。)”可知，玛吉想要实惠的花园装饰，这是轮胎花坛的灵感来源。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Its raised edges also prevented rain from washing soil away.(它凸起的边缘还可以防止雨水冲走泥土。)”可知，轮胎蔬菜种植器可以避免土壤流失。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As Maggie shared, her neighbours, who once questioned her tire-collecting hobby, now frequently asked her for making tips.(玛吉说，曾经质疑她收集轮胎爱好的邻居，现在经常向她请教制作技巧。)”可知，邻居现在十分欣赏她的爱好。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For Maggie, the beauty of waste reuse lay in breathing warm fresh vitality into cast-offs.(对玛吉而言，废物再利用的美在于给废弃物注入温暖鲜活的生命力。)”可知，玛吉轮胎作品体现的价值是创造力让废弃物拥有崭新温暖的美感。 C “Neil the seal (海豹)” is a five-year-old, one-ton southern elephant seal in Tasmania Island of Australia. Wandering around coastal towns, he often overturns road posts and blocks traffic. Surprisingly, his naughty behaviors have won wide public affection, earning him over 1.5 million fans on social media. Neil’s life story started with an unexpected rescue in 2020. When he was a tiny seal weighing just 90 pounds, he was trapped in shallow coastal waters in Tasmania. Wildlife workers saved him. Researchers think his mother ran into trouble out at sea and had to give birth on Tasmania’s nearest shore. As Neil grew bigger and more energetic, he began breaking public road facilities, a behavior the public consider anomalous for young elephant seals. However, ecologists explain that such behaviors come from natural characteristics of young seals. Young males regularly push and lightly bite each other, which serves as playful fights to build strength and prepare for adulthood. Different from group-living seals, Neil stays alone in Tasmania with no companions. Without regular interactive fights with his kind, he has to release his energy by hitting road posts instead. Yet, the long-term lack of social training may cost him essential experience for finding female partners. Elephant seals are born equipped with a special “map sense”. They can accurately schedule regular rests on shore after months of foraging (觅食) in the deep ocean. Following this natural habit, Neil comes back to Tasmania repeatedly every year. It is Neil’s frequent returns that have drawn ecologists’ attention to the tough survival situation of southern elephant seals. Once widespread across Tasmania, the species was nearly wiped out by hunters in the early 1800s and remains at risk of being hunted in parts of Australia. Globally, it faces severe threats including climate-related disasters. Neil is among the first southern elephant seals born in Tasmania after the local species declined. His steady comeback reveals a promising sign of the species’ recovery. Despite the troubles his messy behaviors bring, local officials highly value and welcome his presence. 8. What does the underlined word “anomalous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Conventional. B. Adorable. C. Temporary. D. Abnormal. 9. What helps Neil’s return to Tasmania? A. The company of a female seal. B. A good natural sense of direction. C. Plenty of food on the coastal shore. D. Energy saved from breaking road posts. 10. What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A. Threats of global climate. B. Hunting history of local seals. C. Elephant seals’ survival crisis. D. Experts’ attention to wild animals. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Neil’s naughty acts annoy local residents. B. Seal populations may gradually bounce back. C. Officials tend to set limits on Neil’s activities. D. Seals’ habitat has seen dramatic improvement. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述海豹Neil的故事，以及南象海豹的生存危机与种群恢复的希望。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题‌。根据第三段中“As Neil grew bigger and more energetic, he began breaking public road facilities, a behavior the public consider anomalous for young elephant seals. However, ecologists explain that such behaviors come from natural characteristics of young seals. (随着Neil越长越大、越来越有活力，他开始破坏公共道路设施，公众认为这种行为对年轻象海豹来说是anomalous。然而，生态学家解释说，这类行为源于年轻海豹的自然特性。)”可知，公众原本认为幼象海豹破坏道路设施的行为是反常的，anomalous意为“反常的”，与abnormal同义。 【9题详解】 细节理解题‌。根据第五段中“Elephant seals are born equipped with a special “map sense”. They can accurately schedule regular rests on shore after months of foraging (觅食) in the deep ocean. (象海豹天生具备一种特殊的“地图感”。在深海觅食数月后，它们能够准确地安排定期上岸休息。)”可知，天生出色的方向感帮助Neil回到塔斯马尼亚。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题‌。根据第六段中“Once widespread across Tasmania, the species was nearly wiped out by hunters in the early 1800s and remains at risk of being hunted in parts of Australia. Globally, it faces severe threats including climate-related disasters. (该物种曾广泛分布于塔斯马尼亚各地，但在19世纪初几乎被猎人灭绝，如今在澳大利亚部分地区仍面临被猎杀的风险。在全球范围内，它还面临与气候相关的灾害等严重威胁。)”可知，该段介绍了南象海豹曾遭猎杀濒临灭绝，如今仍面临捕猎风险与气候灾害威胁，核心围绕象海豹的生存危机展开。 【11题详解】 推理判断题‌。根据最后一段中“Neil is among the first southern elephant seals born in Tasmania after the local species declined. His steady comeback reveals a promising sign of the species’ recovery. (Neil是当地该物种种群数量下降后，在塔斯马尼亚出生的首批南方象海豹之一。他稳定的回归表明该物种正在恢复，这是一个充满希望的迹象。)”可推断，海豹种群数量可能逐步回升。 D Have you ever taken a paracetamol (扑热息痛) and wondered why it takes so long to take effect? Most of us regard pill-taking simply as “swallow (吞) and wait”. However, researchers find we have ignored one crucial factor: the position of our body. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University conducted experiments with an advanced stomach model. They found body position significantly affects how fast medicine is absorbed into our system. The stomach is a J-shaped uneven organ, and gravity influences digestion much more than most people assume. Adjusting body position properly can direct pills straight toward the “exit door” of the stomach. According to the research, resting on one’s right side enabled pills to travel smoothly toward the stomach’s deepest part. After that, the medicine entered the next section of the digestive system, where medicine absorption occurred. By contrast, lying on the left side produced the opposite effect. The stomach’s shape trapped pills far from its exit that is in an “uphill” position. Pills could not flow to the stomach exit quickly, so more time was required to transport the pills, which accounted for why some people feel medicines ineffective. Standing upright and lying flat on one’s back produced identical test outcomes, ranking in the middle, which was not ideal. The tests revealed that a pill broke down in merely 10 minutes in the best position. In comparison, it took 23 minutes in an upright position. Worst of all, it took more than 100 minutes when one lay on the left side. Therefore, lying on one’s right side creates a quick passage, allowing useful substances to rapidly enter the bloodstream and relieve headaches or fever. The research shows human body is a complicated system governed by physical rules. A small change in position can make a huge difference between quick relief and long-lasting discomfort. Therefore, next time you take paracetamol, bear this tip in mind: swallow the pill and lie on your right side. 12. Why can body positions affect medicine absorption? A. Different positions change the stomach’s shape. B. Pill sizes decide their moving speed in different positions. C. Gravity within the stomach switches with varied positions. D. Gravity guides pills to the stomach exit at different rates. 13. Why do some people think medicine works poorly? A. Pills trapped high in the stomach get broken down. B. Pills sink to the stomach bottom and lose effectiveness. C. Right-side lying makes the stomach exit too low to reach pills. D. Left-side lying delays pills’ upward travel to the absorption site. 14. How long does it take for a swallowed pill to take effect in a flat-back position? A. 10 minutes. B. 23 minutes. C. 77 minutes. D. 100 minutes. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To introduce a simple trick of taking pills. B. To analyze physical laws of stomach function. C. To compare the effects of different medicines. D. To show the impact of body positions on digestion. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述不同服药体位对药物在胃内吸收速度的影响及实用建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题‌。根据第二段中“The stomach is a J-shaped uneven organ, and gravity influences digestion much more than most people assume. Adjusting body position properly can direct pills straight toward the ‘exit door’ of the stomach. (胃是一个J形的不规则器官，重力对消化的影响远比大多数人想象的要大。适当调整身体姿势可以引导药片径直朝向胃的‘出口’移动。)”可知，不同体位下重力引导药片到达胃出口的速度不同，这就是体位影响药物吸收的核心原因。 【13题详解】 细节理解题‌。根据第三段中“By contrast, lying on the left side produced the opposite effect. The stomach’s shape trapped pills far from its exit that is in an ‘uphill’ position. Pills could not flow to the stomach exit quickly, so more time was required to transport the pills, which accounted for why some people feel medicines ineffective. (相比之下，向左侧卧则产生了相反的效果。胃的形状会将药片困在远离其出口的位置，而该出口处于一个‘上坡’位置。药片无法迅速流向胃的出口，因此需要更多时间来运送药片，这就解释了为什么有些人会觉得药物无效。)”可知，左侧卧会延缓药片向上移动到吸收部位。 【14题详解】 细节理解题‌。根据第三段中“Standing upright and lying flat on one’s back produced identical test outcomes, ranking in the middle, which was not ideal. (直立站立和仰面平躺产生了相同的测试结果，排名居中，并不理想。)”以及第四段中“In comparison, it took 23 minutes in an upright position. (相比之下，在直立状态下则需要23分钟。)”可知，平躺和直立的测试结果相同，都需要23分钟。 【15题详解】 推理判断题‌。通读全文，根据最后一段中“Therefore, next time you take paracetamol, bear this tip in mind: swallow the pill and lie on your right side. (因此，下次你服用扑热息痛时，请记住这个小建议：吞下药片后向右侧卧。)”可知，文章通过介绍约翰斯·霍普金斯大学的实验，说明了身体姿势会影响扑热息痛的吸收速度，并给出了“吞下药片后向右侧卧”的实用建议。因此，作者写作本文的核心目的是向读者介绍这个简单的服药小技巧。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 New motherhood brings great joy and marks a life-changing experience, yet it is accompanied by diverse challenges.

Though I was a teenage boy, I deeply loved old classic folk songs. In my spare time, I often sat alone in peace, lost in such gentle music. Yet I had never met any peer (同龄人) who shared this special love for old tunes. Every now and then, soft bits of guitar music came over from the flat next door. The tunes were never fully played, just broken, disconnected pieces. Curiosity filled my mind, and I often wondered what kind of neighbor lived next door. Apart from music, my pet Sunny was my greatest comfort. To avoid disturbing other residents or getting into unnecessary trouble, I always took Sunny for a walk in a park after supper. At that time, most neighbors had already gone back indoors. Running after balls with Sunny on the grass always brought me pure happiness. One quiet night, I was watching Sunny running freely across the lawn when a familiar sound came through the air. Someone was playing the guitar and singing my favorite little-known folk song. The soft music touched my heart at once. I turned my head toward the sound and saw a young man sitting on a nearby bench (凳子). I listened carefully and sang quietly along with him. I was afraid that the stranger might feel scared of dogs, so I dared not walk closer with Sunny beside me. I stayed far away and quietly enjoyed his beautiful singing every night after that. For days, we were complete strangers and never said a word to each other. Everything changed on one cool evening. Sunny’s ball slipped out of my hand, rolled quickly across the lawn, and finally stopped right at the young guitarist’s feet. 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。 I froze on the spot, hesitant to step forward to get the ball. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Led by him, I was amazed to find we were heading to our apartment building. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I froze on the spot, hesitant to step forward to get the ball. Worried that Sunny might frighten the young man, I stood rooted to the ground nervously. To my surprise, the man bent down to pick up the ball gently and stroked Sunny’s head fondly. He smiled warmly and told me that he loved peaceful evening walks too. We started chatting casually, and I was thrilled to find he was also a huge fan of classic folk music. He even mentioned the broken guitar tunes from the next-door flat, which instantly cleared up my long-held curiosity. Led by him, I was amazed to find we were heading to our apartment building. It turned out that he was my mysterious next-door neighbor who often practiced guitar. He invited me to his flat to listen to his complete music performance. From then on, we often enjoyed folk music together and took Sunny for walks in the park. I finally found a peer who shared my unique hobby, making my ordinary days full of warmth and joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了热爱老民谣的作者与爱犬Sunny相伴，每晚在公园听一位陌生青年弹唱，却因Sunny的球滚到青年脚边而有了交集，最终发现他竟是隔壁邻居，两人因共同爱好成为好友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者手足无措的心理、陌生人温柔的举动，二人交谈并发现彼此都热爱经典民谣，解开作者对隔壁断续琴声的疑惑。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写作者跟随男子回家，得知他就是隔壁神秘邻居，二人相约相伴听音乐、遛狗，收获知音与温暖。 2.续写线索：犹豫不前——青年友善捡球——交谈发现共同爱好——得知青年是隔壁邻居——受邀听完整演奏——成为好友共度温暖时光 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①弯腰捡起：bend down to pick up/stoop to collect ②抚摸：stroke/caress 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】He smiled warmly and told me that he loved peaceful evening walks too.

Let’s explore four affordable districts in Richmond with unique features to help you find ideal one-bedroom homes. Elkhardt Situated beyond Richmond’s central zone, Elkhardt is a beautiful district in its southeast.

B Stepping into Maggie’s backyard, guests were greeted with a professionally designed garden full of colorful flowers, comfortable rest areas and beautiful decorations — everything fit together harmoniously. When Maggie gestured toward a special flower bed and invited guests to guess its former identity, few got the right answer; it was repurposed from a waste tire (轮胎). Maggie recalled she had longed to beautify her garden without wasting huge sums purchasing flower pots. She therefore eyed the useless tires in her garage (车库). After coating a tire with bright paint, she filled it with soil and planted flowering plants inside. The outcome was surprisingly impressive. This raised tire planter clearly divided the garden space and instantly became an eye-catching highlight. Best of all, it saved a waste tire from being abandoned and gave it a brand-new function. Walking further into the garden, guests saw her most practical tire creation: a vegetable planter. It greatly simplified the work of watering, tending and seasonal picking. Its raised edges also prevented rain from washing soil away. This fully proved that functional garden decorations depended not on pricey supplies, but on a fresh perspective on ordinary waste. Continuing toward the patio (露台), guests found Maggie’s most creative work. She remodeled an old tire into an almost unrecognizable decoration. After thorough cleaning, she wrapped the tire with thick rope and fixed a solid wooden board on top. The finished table on the patio matched the garden’s natural style perfectly. All guests admired the delicate furniture greatly, assuming it was a pricey store-bought piece. As Maggie shared, her neighbours, who once questioned her tire-collecting hobby, now frequently asked her for making tips. The most popular creation came into sight at last: a tire swing fixed to a thick tree branch. While it was the simplest work Maggie had ever made, it brought her the greatest joy. Whenever relatives brought kids to visit, the swing was occupied at once, with adults sitting by, touched by the childhood memories the swing brought back. For Maggie, the beauty of waste reuse lay in breathing warm fresh vitality into cast-offs. 4. What is Maggie’s inspiration for the tire flower bed? A. Her wish to entertain visiting guests. B. Her love for various colourful flowers. C. Her desire for affordable garden decoration. D. Her habit of recycling daily waste materials. 5. What practical advantage does the tire vegetable planter have? A. It saves water. B. It avoids soil loss. C. It boosts production. D. It catches visitors’ eyes. 6. How did Maggie’s neighbours feel about her hobby afterwards? A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful. C. Proud. D. Dismissive. 7. What important value can be found in Maggie’s tire art? A. Natural beauty exists in simplicity. B. Childhood memories fuel imagination. C. Hand-made items possess unique appeal. D. Creativity brings waste new warm beauty. C “Neil the seal (海豹)” is a five-year-old, one-ton southern elephant seal in Tasmania Island of Australia. Wandering around coastal towns, he often overturns road posts and blocks traffic. Surprisingly, his naughty behaviors have won wide public affection, earning him over 1.5 million fans on social media. Neil’s life story started with an unexpected rescue in 2020. When he was a tiny seal weighing just 90 pounds, he was trapped in shallow coastal waters in Tasmania. Wildlife workers saved him. Researchers think his mother ran into trouble out at sea and had to give birth on Tasmania’s nearest shore. As Neil grew bigger and more energetic, he began breaking public road facilities, a behavior the public consider anomalous for young elephant seals. However, ecologists explain that such behaviors come from natural characteristics of young seals. Young males regularly push and lightly bite each other, which serves as playful fights to build strength and prepare for adulthood. Different from group-living seals, Neil stays alone in Tasmania with no companions. Without regular interactive fights with his kind, he has to release his energy by hitting road posts instead. Yet, the long-term lack of social training may cost him essential experience for finding female partners. Elephant seals are born equipped with a special “map sense”. They can accurately schedule regular rests on shore after months of foraging (觅食) in the deep ocean. Following this natural habit, Neil comes back to Tasmania repeatedly every year. It is Neil’s frequent returns that have drawn ecologists’ attention to the tough survival situation of southern elephant seals. Once widespread across Tasmania, the species was nearly wiped out by hunters in the early 1800s and remains at risk of being hunted in parts of Australia. Globally, it faces severe threats including climate-related disasters. Neil is among the first southern elephant seals born in Tasmania after the local species declined. His steady comeback reveals a promising sign of the species’ recovery. Despite the troubles his messy behaviors bring, local officials highly value and welcome his presence. 8. What does the underlined word “anomalous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Conventional. B. Adorable. C. Temporary. D. Abnormal. 9. What helps Neil’s return to Tasmania? A. The company of a female seal. B. A good natural sense of direction. C. Plenty of food on the coastal shore. D. Energy saved from breaking road posts. 10. What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A. Threats of global climate. B. Hunting history of local seals. C. Elephant seals’ survival crisis. D. Experts’ attention to wild animals. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Neil’s naughty acts annoy local residents. B. Seal populations may gradually bounce back. C. Officials tend to set limits on Neil’s activities. D. Seals’ habitat has seen dramatic improvement. D Have you ever taken a paracetamol (扑热息痛) and wondered why it takes so long to take effect? Most of us regard pill-taking simply as “swallow (吞) and wait”. However, researchers find we have ignored one crucial factor: the position of our body. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University conducted experiments with an advanced stomach model. They found body position significantly affects how fast medicine is absorbed into our system. The stomach is a J-shaped uneven organ, and gravity influences digestion much more than most people assume. Adjusting body position properly can direct pills straight toward the “exit door” of the stomach. According to the research, resting on one’s right side enabled pills to travel smoothly toward the stomach’s deepest part. After that, the medicine entered the next section of the digestive system, where medicine absorption occurred. By contrast, lying on the left side produced the opposite effect. The stomach’s shape trapped pills far from its exit that is in an “uphill” position. Pills could not flow to the stomach exit quickly, so more time was required to transport the pills, which accounted for why some people feel medicines ineffective. Standing upright and lying flat on one’s back produced identical test outcomes, ranking in the middle, which was not ideal. The tests revealed that a pill broke down in merely 10 minutes in the best position. In comparison, it took 23 minutes in an upright position. Worst of all, it took more than 100 minutes when one lay on the left side. Therefore, lying on one’s right side creates a quick passage, allowing useful substances to rapidly enter the bloodstream and relieve headaches or fever. The research shows human body is a complicated system governed by physical rules. A small change in position can make a huge difference between quick relief and long-lasting discomfort. Therefore, next time you take paracetamol, bear this tip in mind: swallow the pill and lie on your right side. 12. Why can body positions affect medicine absorption? A. Different positions change the stomach’s shape. B. Pill sizes decide their moving speed in different positions. C. Gravity within the stomach switches with varied positions. D. Gravity guides pills to the stomach exit at different rates. 13. Why do some people think medicine works poorly? A. Pills trapped high in the stomach get broken down. B. Pills sink to the stomach bottom and lose effectiveness. C. Right-side lying makes the stomach exit too low to reach pills. D. Left-side lying delays pills’ upward travel to the absorption site. 14. How long does it take for a swallowed pill to take effect in a flat-back position? A. 10 minutes. B. 23 minutes. C. 77 minutes. D. 100 minutes. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To introduce a simple trick of taking pills. B. To analyze physical laws of stomach function. C. To compare the effects of different medicines. D. To show the impact of body positions on digestion. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 New motherhood brings great joy and marks a life-changing experience, yet it is accompanied by diverse challenges.

Though I was a teenage boy, I deeply loved old classic folk songs. In my spare time, I often sat alone in peace, lost in such gentle music. Yet I had never met any peer (同龄人) who shared this special love for old tunes. Every now and then, soft bits of guitar music came over from the flat next door. The tunes were never fully played, just broken, disconnected pieces. Curiosity filled my mind, and I often wondered what kind of neighbor lived next door. Apart from music, my pet Sunny was my greatest comfort. To avoid disturbing other residents or getting into unnecessary trouble, I always took Sunny for a walk in a park after supper. At that time, most neighbors had already gone back indoors. Running after balls with Sunny on the grass always brought me pure happiness. One quiet night, I was watching Sunny running freely across the lawn when a familiar sound came through the air. Someone was playing the guitar and singing my favorite little-known folk song. The soft music touched my heart at once. I turned my head toward the sound and saw a young man sitting on a nearby bench (凳子). I listened carefully and sang quietly along with him. I was afraid that the stranger might feel scared of dogs, so I dared not walk closer with Sunny beside me. I stayed far away and quietly enjoyed his beautiful singing every night after that. For days, we were complete strangers and never said a word to each other. Everything changed on one cool evening. Sunny’s ball slipped out of my hand, rolled quickly across the lawn, and finally stopped right at the young guitarist’s feet. 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。 I froze on the spot, hesitant to step forward to get the ball. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Led by him, I was amazed to find we were heading to our apartment building. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
