Welcome to Biscayne National Park
Biscayne is not very far from the lights and excitement of downtown Miami. But it has a very different atmosphere from the big city. Established as a national monument in 1968, Biscayne National Park includes the northern part of the world-famous Florida Keys which are low-lying islands or reefs.
Biscayne National Park
If you enjoy water, Biscayne is the park for you. You will find the threatened huge, gentle West Indian manatee, the less gentle American crocodile, several kinds of sea turtles and over 500 species of fish. Four ecosystems come together here, which is what makes the park so diverse. The blending ecosystems create ”edge communities.“
Human history
Human history at Biscayne begins more than 10, 000 years ago. Scientists say evidence of the area’s earliest people is mostly underwater now and learn about these people by examining the hills of shells they left behind. As the population grew, it divided into separate cultures. The groups began making pottery and created trade networks. These Native Americans are called the Tequesta. The Tequesta depended on the rich food source of the sea to survive. They were not centered on farming and had more time than other natives for art and religion. The reefs and rough waters made it difficult for early explorers resulting in more than 50 shipwrecks. Scuba divers today can explore six of them.
Exploring the park
Many visitors to Biscayne National Park choose to explore underwater. Guides lead snorkeling and scuba diving trips. At Boca Chita Key, visitors can explore a lighthouse, a symbol of Biscayne National Park built in the 1930s. But visitors to Biscayne National Park probably are not there to see skyscrapers and city lights. The beauty in Biscayne is quiet waters, rustling mangroves.
1. What is the feature of the ecosystem in the Biscayne National Park
A. The different species of the animals. B. The mixed biological communities.
C. The low-lying islands or reefs. D. The clear and warm waters.
2. What can we know from the last two paragraphs
A. Human history dates back to more than 50, 000 years ago.
B. The Native Americans prefer farming to fishing.
C. Biscayne is a paradise for the water sports enthusiasts.
D. Scuba divers today are to see skyscrapers and city lights.
3. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A personal diary. B. geography textbook. C. A A travel magazine. D. A book review.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了比斯坎国家公园的一些游玩项目。

B
As a reporter, I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting them to open up. Yet here’s a confession: I’ve been married for eight happy years, but until six months ago, I could be the stereotypical inattentive husband.
It’s not that my wife and I never had pleasant conversations. But more often than I care to admit, I was just going through the motions, nodding when I was supposed to. I was the guy who’d defensively snap (厉声说), “Of course I did!” when my wife would ask, “JB, did you even hear what I just said ”
In January, I began to lose my voice repeatedly. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or else my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.
Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son stood by me looking puzzled because I wouldn’t answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn’t.
But before I got home, I had settled into a Zen-like peace about my silence. Soon I noticed another “side effect”: As my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn’t just hearing her; I was listening to her.
Over the next few weeks, I found myself unwilling to miss a word she said. I began to hear a sweetness in her voice that I hadn’t recalled for long. I found myself understanding her better on topics I’d previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.
I also realized my toddler (学步的儿童) wasn’t just chattering nonstop but that he often had surprisingly thoughtful things to say for his age.
Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in bird songs. The rustling leaves sounded crisper to me. Before my surgery, I’d have spent those walks on my phone.
After several months, I was fully recovered. Now conversation in our house is better, but not because I’m talking more. I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.
4. What does the author want to tell us most in the first two paragraphs
A. He was fond of talking to strangers.
B. He enjoyed taking challenges.
C. Sometimes he ignored his wife’s words.
D. He often quarreled with his wife.
5. Why did the author have to keep silent
A To avoid argument. B. To hear more.
C. To ensure recovery. D. To show unhappiness.
6. After the surgery, how did the author feel about his inability to talk at first
A Peaceful. B. Upset. C. Puzzled. D. Uncertain.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Easier said than done.
B. Full set, partial to listen to the dark.
C. Knowledge is power.
D. Listen well and you can hear the world.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在手术后不能说话，但意外地发现了倾听的好处的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Yet here’s a confession: I’ve been married for eight happy years, but until six months ago, I could be the stereotypical inattentive husband. (不过，我得坦白：我已经幸福地结婚八年了，但直到六个月前，我可能还是那种典型的粗心大意的丈夫。)”以及第二段中的“But more often than I care to admit, I was just going through the motions, nodding when I was supposed to. (但更多的时候，我只是走过场，在该点头的时候点头。)”可知，作者是一个粗心大意的丈夫，在与妻子说话的时候，只是走过场，而非用心交流。由此可知，在前两段中作者想告诉我们，有时他会忽视妻子的话。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Doctors told me I needed surgery, or else my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery. (医生告诉我，我需要手术，否则我的喉咙会永远受损。在我康复的最初几个星期里，我需要保持完全的沉默。)”可知，作者要完全保持沉默是为了确保康复。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son stood by me looking puzzled because I wouldn’t answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn’t. (手术后两个小时，我的眼睛里充满了泪水，我两岁的儿子站在我身边，一脸困惑，因为我不愿回答他的问题。我想说话，但说不出口。)”可知，因为无法说话，作者很难和儿子交流。由此推知，作者感到心烦意乱。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Now conversation in our house is better, but not because I’m talking more. I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear. (现在我们家的谈话好多了，但不是因为我说话多了。我只是听得更好，越来越不惊讶我喜欢我听到的东西。)”可知，作者之前不认真倾听妻子的话，却因为手术后不能说话，意外地发现了倾听的好处。由此可知，作者想要告诉读者倾听的重要性，D项“好好倾听，你会听到全世界的声音”符合文章大意。故选D项。
C
A young woman holds up a book and smiles. “This is day one of me reading ‘The Song of Achilles’,” she says. The video jumps forward. “And this”, she cries, her face stained with tears, “is me finishing it.”
A new form of literary criticism is boosting sales of books. This is BookTok, as the literary wing of the app TikTok is known. Imagine the emotional pitch of a Victorian melodrama, add music, and you have the general idea. BookTok is passionate. It is also profitable—at least for publishers.
Bloomsbury, a publishing house based in Britain, recently reported record sales and a 220% rise in profits, which Nigel Newton, its boss, put down partly to the “absolute phenomenon” of BookTok. On Amazon, BookTok is so influential that it has leapt into the titles of books themselves. The novel “It Ends With Us”, for instance, is now listed as “It Ends With Us: TikTok made me buy it!” Evidently, TikTok did a good job: the romance is riding high in the top 100 in both Britain and America.
At the same time, BookTok pushes back against publishing amnesia(失忆症). Books are imagined to award immortality (不朽) to authors—to be a “monument more lasting than bronze”, as the Roman poet Horace wrote-but the lifespan of most is extremely short. Dig out a list of bestsellers from 20 years ago: not only are today’s readers unlikely to buy them, most won’t have heard of them.
BookTok is reviving backlists. One reason published it, says Philip Gwyn Jones of Picador, a British publishing house, was that, under its influence, old titles were creeping back into the bestseller charts. It offers such books “a second life”, and he applauds it. “Eventually, a great book finds its readers,” Mr. Gwyn Jones says. “You just have to hope that, unlike Kafka, authors don’t have to die before that happens.” Start trending on BookTok, and they won’t.
8. What is paragraph 1 aimed at
A. Boosting sales of books.
B. Introducing the topic of the text.
C. Describing the woman’s feelings.
D. Illustrating the book The Song ofAchilles.
9. Why is It Ends With Us mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To promote the book via BookTok.
B. To introduce the romance book in BookTok.
C. To present the influence of the book in BookTok.
D. To show the increase of book sales due to BookTok.
10. What can we learn about Kafka from the last paragraph
A. BookTok makes his books masterpieces.
B. Quite a few people read his books earlier.
C. He died before his books were recognized.
D. His books are not well received all the time.
11. What does the author talk about BookTok
A. BookTok can make books live forever.
B. It became a main form of literary criticism.
C. Many authors promote their books via BookTok.
D. It makes previously published books popular again.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是Booktok作为一种新的文学评论形式在社交平台Tiktok的文学分支中火爆起来，促进了图书的热卖，很多过去被人遗忘的书也因为Booktok用户的分享而热卖。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“A young woman holds up a book and smiles. “This is day one of me reading ‘The Song of Achilles’,” she says. The video jumps forward. “And this”, she cries, her face stained with tears, “is me finishing it.”(一位年轻女子拿起一本书，微笑着。“这是我读《阿喀琉斯之歌》的第一天，”她说。视频向前跳转。“而这个，”她哭着说，她的脸上沾满了泪水，“是我在完成它。”)”以及第二段中的“A new form of literary criticism is boosting sales of books. This is BookTok, as the literary wing of the app TikTok is known.”可知，第二段的开始讲述了Booktok作为一种新的文学评论形式促进了书籍的销售，而第一段中列举的是一位女士在视频上分享自己读书的第一天的场景，由此可知，第一段的目的是引出本文的话题。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It is also profitable—at least for publishers.(它也是有利可图的——至少对出版商来说是这样。)”可知，BookTok还有一个好处就是为对出版商来说是有好处的，结合第三段中的“On Amazon, BookTok is so influential that it has leapt into the titles of books themselves. The novel “It Ends With Us”, for instance, is now listed as “It Ends With Us: TikTok made me buy it!”(在亚马逊上，BookTok的影响力如此之大，以至于它已经跳入了图书标题本身。例如，小说《它随着我们而结束》现在被列为“它随着我们而结束：TikTok让我买了它！”)”可知，由于Booktok的影响，让人们购买《它随着我们而结束》这本书，由此可知，此处提到《它随着我们而结束》是为了说明由于Booktok的影响，使得书籍的销售量增加。故选D项。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的““Eventually, a great book finds its readers,” Mr. Gwyn Jones says. “You just have to hope that, unlike Kafka, authors don’t have to die before that happens.”(“最终，一本伟大的书会找到它的读者，”格温·琼斯说。“你只需要希望，不像卡夫卡，作家们不会在这一切发生之前死去。”)”可知，格温·琼斯认为不要像卡夫卡那样，在他的作品找到读者前就死去，由此可知，卡夫卡的作品在他去世前没有得到认可。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“BookTok is reviving backlists.( BookTok正在复兴后备书目。)”以及“It offers such books “a second life”, and he applauds it.(它为这样的书提供了“第二次生命”，他对此表示赞赏。)”可知，此处指的是Booktok的另一个好处，也就是它在复兴一些后备书目，能给予一些书第二次生命，由此可知，Booktok使以前出版的书再次流行起来。故选D项。
D
Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean “the beginning of the end” of Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症) Could we even cure it some day These are headlines and questions swirling (流传) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase-3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer’s is complex, but CT and MRI scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal buildup of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer’s has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about 20, 000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side-effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31.4% on the drug compared with 13.6% in the placebo (安慰剂) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven’t yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain. So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
12. What can we learn about Alzheimer from the passage
A. It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain.
B. Most people will develop Alzheimer when they are old.
C. There exists a new drug to cure it completely.
D. It results from the loss of memories as people get older.
13. What does the underlined word “caveats” mean in paragraph 4
A. Weaknesses. B. Discussions. C. Debates. D. Warnings.
14 What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic
A. The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment.
B. It has the serious side-effects such as brain bleeding and deaths.
C. The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people.
D. There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the new drug
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种治疗阿尔茨海默氏症的新药，文章介绍了阿尔茨海默氏症产生的原因以及这种新药存在的一些问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The brain science behind Alzheimer’s is complex, but CT and MRI scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal buildup of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles.(阿尔茨海默氏症背后的脑科学是复杂的，但CT和MRI扫描表明，大脑中发生了有毒的变化，包括淀粉样斑块和陶蛋白缠结的异常积聚)”可知，阿尔兹海默症是由大脑中某些蛋白质的积累引起的。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about 20,000 per person per year of treatment.(一个是它是否会在国民医疗服务体系中普及。据估计，每人每年的治疗费用约为2万英镑)”可知，针对这种新药存在一些警告，一个是它是否会在国民医疗服务体系中普及。据估计，每人每年的治疗费用约为2万英镑。故划线词意思是“警告”。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven’t yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.(作为一名学者，我在评估这种药物时遇到的部分问题是，试验的全部结果尚未公开分享，也没有在同行评议期刊上发表。我们还无法获得完整的数据或检查试验，而且私营公司总是有夸大新药有效性的动机。试验结果需要由一个独立的专家机构进行评估)”可知，作为一名学者，作者认为新药的问题是如果没有公平的评估，效果可能会被夸大。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven’t yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项.
CHALLENGING STUDENT MYTHS
Everybody wants to be happy, lives in harmony with their parents and makes them proud, but in reality you may find yourself worried or even upset. ___16___. However, it may surprise you to know that research can help you become a more efficient and well-balanced student. Let’s examine some student myths that may be interfering(干涉) with your progress.
“The most successful students have no worries in exams. ”
___17___. In fact, these students do suffer stress-just like those with average or below average scores. In the UK, a database in 2021 showed that doctors provided more calming drugs for students aged between sixteen and eighteen than they had ever done before. Many of these drugs were for very able students to help them cope with stress and exam pressure. So remember, be realistic about your abilities.
“___18___”
It is just this kind of remark that produces pressure in anybody who is already anxious. Research shows that the most effective learning takes place if you use a quite different approach. So, adjust your study plan and take time to relax. In fact, an efficient learner knows how to strike a balance between work and rest. ___19___.
“I won’t be successful in the future if I don’t go to a key university. ”
This worry does affect many Chinese students and their parents. But how true is this point of view ___20___. First, clearly not everyone can go to a key university. Second, even if you don’t go to a key university, there is still the opportunity of going to one for post-graduate study. Third, if you take a course you like and do quite well in it, your motivation, training and hard work will impress your future employer. Remember, it is never too late to learn more!
A. Let’s look at the evidence
B. The most efficient students have more flexible approaches to learning
C. Some of these students are suffering harmful consequences
D. Only students who work day and night will succeed
E. This is a common assessment made of students with high scores in school
F. Above all, don’t become rigid in your approachwork hard but also work smart
G. Following a trend without thinking carefully can make you stressed and depressed
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是认识学生学习生活中的一些错误观点。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“Everybody wants to be happy, lives in harmony with their parents and makes them proud, but in reality you may find yourself worried or even upset.(每个人都想快乐，与父母和谐相处，让他们感到骄傲，但在现实中，你可能会发现自己担心甚至不安。)”可知，每一个人都想着美好的事情，而实际上会发现自己担忧甚至不安，空后的“However, it may surprise you to know that research can help you become a more efficient and well-balanced student.(然而，你可能会惊讶地发现，研究可以帮助你成为一个更高效、更平衡的学生。)”可知，了解研究可以帮助你成为高效的学生会给你带来惊喜，其中的However可知，此空处讲述的内容与此处相反，即与空前内容应该一致，G选项“Following a trend without thinking carefully can make you stressed and depressed(不仔细思考就随波逐流会让你感到压力和沮丧)”讲述的是会让人感到压力与沮丧的行为，与空前内容吻合，且与空后的内容符合逻辑。故选G项。
【17题详解】
分析语篇可知，此空位于小标题下的首句，因此要与小标题一致，根据小标题““The most successful students have no worries in exams.”(“最成功的学生在考试中没有烦恼。”)”可知，本段分析的应是对成功学生的一种错误观点，E选项“This is a common assessment made of students with high scores in school(这是对在学校取得高分的学生进行的一项常见评估)”中的students with high scores in school与小标题中的The most successful students所指相同，且this指代的是该错误观点。故选E项
【18题详解】
分析语篇可知，此处为该段的小标题，与其他两个段落相同，均是讲述的是对学生学习生活中的错误观点，根据空后的“It is just this kind of remark that produces pressure in anybody who is already anxious. Research shows that the most effective learning takes place if you use a quite different approach. So, adjust your study plan and take time to relax.(正是这种话给任何已经焦虑的人带来了压力。研究表明，如果你使用一种完全不同的方法，那么最有效的学习就会发生。所以，调整你的学习计划，花点时间放松一下。)”可知，研究表明，使用不同的学习方法，才会是最有效的学习，调整学习计划，花点时间放松一下，由此可知，该段对学习生活的错误观点应与“只学习不放松”相关，D选项“Only students who work day and night will succeed(只有日夜努力的学生才会成功)”讲述的是只有黑白努力的学生才会成功，这应是一种错误的观点，且与下文中的内容吻合。故选D项。
【19题详解】
分析语篇可知，此空位于段末，属于总结句，根据空前的“So, adjust your study plan and take time to relax. In fact, an efficient learner knows how to strike a balance between work and rest. (所以，调整你的学习计划，花点时间放松一下。事实上，一个高效的学习者知道如何在工作和休息之间取得平衡。)”可知，学习要适当的休息，要达到一种工作与休息的平衡状态，F选项“Above all, don’t become rigid in your approach; work hard but also work smart(最重要的是，不要过于死板;努力工作，但也要聪明工作)”讲述的是既要工作又要休息，其中的work hard but also work smart与本段的小标题相对应，且与本段的内容一致。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“But how true is this point of view (但这种观点有多正确呢？)”可知，用提问的方式引出下文，结合空后的“First, clearly not everyone can go to a key university…(首先，显然不是每个人都能上重点大学。……)”可知，下文进一步说明原因，由此可知，此空应起到承上启下的作用，回答空前的问题，同时引出下文，A选项“Let’s look at the evidence(让我们看看证据)”引出了下文对这一问题的进一步分析，列举了三点证据。故选A项。
第三部分语言知识运用(共两节, 满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.
When you left us, it was the end of a long, painful road. Since then, I was___21___my favorite memories of you.

Group members would___43___(definite) make every effort to assist one another and solve problems.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了凌家滩以北40公里的太平村，有一个名叫“太平妇女”的志愿者队伍，每当有村庄需要帮助时，王女士和她的队友们就会第一时间赶到现场。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在中国第五大淡水湖巢湖东岸，坐落着一个神秘的古代玉石“王国”——凌家滩。修饰名词kingdom应用形容词mysterious，作定语。故填mysterious。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在中国文化中，玉扮演着重要的角色，长期以来一直被认为是和谐的重要象征。symbol为可数名词，此处为泛指，且essential是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：“化干戈为玉帛”、“温柔如玉”等短语，完美地展现了玉在中国人心目中的象征。引导宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，指物，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：在凌家滩以北40公里的太平村，有一个名叫“太平妇女”的志愿者队伍，是王梓莲几年前成立的。空处为定语从句的谓语动词，which指代先行词team在从句作主语，为单数意义，且与谓语构成被动关系，根据several years ago可知为一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数。故填was founded。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：每当有村庄需要帮助时，王和她的队友们是第一批救援人员。短语serve as表示“担任”。故填as。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：王组织了所有留守的家庭主妇，并在太平村成立了第一个妇女互助小组。根据上文all可知housewife应用复数形式。故填housewives。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：小组成员肯定会尽一切努力互相帮助，解决问题。修饰动词make应用副词definitely，故填definitely。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：志愿者不仅照顾老人和孩子，还解决冲突，王补充说，如果发生分歧，争吵或任何其他打架，“太平妇女”将在那里提供帮助。分析句子结构可知add与逻辑主语Wang构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填adding。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：志愿者不仅照顾老人和孩子，还解决冲突，王补充说，如果发生分歧，争吵或任何其他打架，“太平妇女”将在那里提供帮助。此处表示选择关系，意为“或者”应用or。故填or。

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.
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend was different from any other friends they had brought home. With a yellowish coat and tiny brown spots dropped across her nose, she was the cutest puppy I had ever seen.
When my husband got home that evening, he recognized the breed——a beagle puppy (猎兔犬), not more than twelve weeks old, he guessed. She ran to him right away and after dinner climbed into his lap to watch TV. By now the girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely. I tried to find seemingly logical reasons to explain my behavior.
By the end of the week, she was part of our family. We had named the puppy Molly. She was very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time for the girls to take responsibility for another life, so they would learn the nurturing skills they’d need if they decided to become mommies when they grew up.
The following week, something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was asking for the return of a lost beagle puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately seeking.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I folded the newspaper, put it away in the drawer and tried to ignore what I saw. However, trapped in the dilemma of choice, I hesitated whether I should hide the truth. It was not long before my husband and daughters came home and started to have fun with Molly. At the sight of the scene that they were playing happily, I couldn’t help thinking about the owner’s sincere lost-dog ad. Though it would be pretty hard to part with Molly, my moral code told me to make the right choice.
I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately seeking. I quickly dialed the number and then came a woman’s voice. After explaining the situation of Molly, I could feel the embarrassing silence in the phone. Suddenly, she broke the embarrassing air and suggested that our families should raise Molly together. My parting pain gave way to excitement on the spot. I couldn’t say a word to describe my gratitude. In the following days, my daughters accepted to give Molly back and kept playing with Molly. We all knew that we did the right thing.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者女儿放学回家带回了一只走失的宠物狗，女儿和丈夫都非常的喜欢，作者也没有发现任何与狗主人相关的信息，同时也担心登个广告后有人来认领这只宠物狗后孩子会很伤心，所以这只宠物狗成了作者家的一员，并给它起了名字，但是，在接下来的一个星期，作者在当地报纸的失物招领栏中发现了有人在寻找丢失的宠物狗。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“相反，我假装没有看到广告。”可知，第一段可描写作者选择假装没见到广告后的内心活动，并结合第二段提示的内容，此处应描述矛盾的内心。
②由第二段首句内容“我心里知道，我必须打那个电话，看看我们的莫莉是不是他们拼命寻找的那只小狗。”可知，第二段可描写作者决定归还这只宠物狗时的心里状态，以及联系上失去宠物狗的主人后双方做了什么。
2.续写线索：假装没见到广告——内心受到谴责——打电话联系失主——双方决定共同照顾小狗——作者一家的感悟

Welcome to Biscayne National Park
Biscayne is not very far from the lights and excitement of downtown Miami. But it has a very different atmosphere from the big city. Established as a national monument in 1968, Biscayne National Park includes the northern part of the world-famous Florida Keys which are low-lying islands or reefs.
Biscayne National Park
If you enjoy water, Biscayne is the park for you. You will find the threatened huge, gentle West Indian manatee, the less gentle American crocodile, several kinds of sea turtles and over 500 species of fish. Four ecosystems come together here, which is what makes the park so diverse. The blending ecosystems create ”edge communities.“
Human history
Human history at Biscayne begins more than 10, 000 years ago. Scientists say evidence of the area’s earliest people is mostly underwater now and learn about these people by examining the hills of shells they left behind. As the population grew, it divided into separate cultures. The groups began making pottery and created trade networks. These Native Americans are called the Tequesta. The Tequesta depended on the rich food source of the sea to survive. They were not centered on farming and had more time than other natives for art and religion. The reefs and rough waters made it difficult for early explorers resulting in more than 50 shipwrecks. Scuba divers today can explore six of them.
Exploring the park
Many visitors to Biscayne National Park choose to explore underwater. Guides lead snorkeling and scuba diving trips. At Boca Chita Key, visitors can explore a lighthouse, a symbol of Biscayne National Park built in the 1930s. But visitors to Biscayne National Park probably are not there to see skyscrapers and city lights. The beauty in Biscayne is quiet waters, rustling mangroves.
1. What is the feature of the ecosystem in the Biscayne National Park
A. The different species of the animals. B. The mixed biological communities.
C. The low-lying islands or reefs. D. The clear and warm waters.
2. What can we know from the last two paragraphs
A. Human history dates back to more than 50, 000 years ago.
B. The Native Americans prefer farming to fishing.
C. Biscayne is a paradise for the water sports enthusiasts.
D. Scuba divers today are to see skyscrapers and city lights.
3. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A personal diary. B. geography textbook. C. A A travel magazine. D. A book review.
B
As a reporter, I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting them to open up. Yet here’s a confession: I’ve been married for eight happy years, but until six months ago, I could be the stereotypical inattentive husband.
It’s not that my wife and I never had pleasant conversations. But more often than I care to admit I was just going through the motions, nodding when I was supposed to. I was the guy who’d defensively snap (厉声说), “Of course I did!” when my wife would ask, “JB, did you even hear what I just said ”
In January, I began to lose my voice repeatedly. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or else my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.
Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son stood by me looking puzzled because I wouldn’t answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn’t.
But before I got home, I had settled into a Zen-like peace about my silence. Soon I noticed another “side effect”: As my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn’t just hearing her; I was listening to her.
Over the next few weeks, I found myself unwilling to miss a word she said. I began to hear a sweetness in her voice that I hadn’t recalled for long. I found myself understanding her better on topics I’d previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.
I also realized my toddler (学步的儿童) wasn’t just chattering nonstop but that he often had surprisingly thoughtful things to say for his age.
Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in bird songs. The rustling leaves sounded crisper to me. Before my surgery, I’d have spent those walks on my phone.
After several months I was fully recovered. Now conversation in our house is better, but not because I’m talking more. I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.
4. What does the author want to tell us most in the first two paragraphs
A. He was fond of talking to strangers.

A young woman holds up a book and smiles. “This is day one of me reading ‘The Song of Achilles’,” she says. The video jumps forward. “And this”, she cries, her face stained with tears, “is me finishing it.”
A new form of literary criticism is boosting sales of books. This is BookTok, as the literary wing of the app TikTok is known. Imagine the emotional pitch of a Victorian melodrama, add music, and you have the general idea. BookTok is passionate. It is also profitable—at least for publishers.
Bloomsbury, a publishing house based in Britain, recently reported record sales and a 220% rise in profits, which Nigel Newton, its boss, put down partly to the “absolute phenomenon” of BookTok. On Amazon, BookTok is so influential that it has leapt into the titles of books themselves. The novel “It Ends With Us”, for instance, is now listed as “It Ends With Us: TikTok made me buy it!” Evidently, TikTok did a good job: the romance is riding high in the top 100 in both Britain and America.
At the same time, BookTok pushes back against publishing amnesia(失忆症). Books are imagined to award immortality (不朽) to authors—to be a “monument more lasting than bronze”, as the Roman poet Horace wrote-but the lifespan of most is extremely short. Dig out a list of bestsellers from 20 years ago: not only are today’s readers unlikely to buy them, most won’t have heard of them.
BookTok is reviving backlists. One reason published it, says Philip Gwyn Jones of Picador, a British publishing house, was that, under its influence, old titles were creeping back into the bestseller charts. It offers such books “a second life”, and he applauds it. “Eventually, a great book finds its readers,” Mr. Gwyn Jones says. “You just have to hope that, unlike Kafka, authors don’t have to die before that happens.” Start trending on BookTok, and they won’t.
8. What is paragraph 1 aimed at
A. Boosting sales of books.
B. Introducing the topic of the text.
C. Describing the woman’s feelings.
D. Illustrating the book The Song ofAchilles.
9. Why is It Ends With Us mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To promote the book via BookTok.
B. To introduce the romance book in BookTok.
C. To present the influence of the book in BookTok.
D. To show the increase of book sales due to BookTok.
10. What can we learn about Kafka from the last paragraph
A. BookTok makes his books masterpieces.
B. Quite a few people read his books earlier.
C. He died before his books were recognized.
D. His books are not well received all the time.
11. What does the author talk about BookTok
A. BookTok can make books live forever.
B. It became a main form of literary criticism.
C. Many authors promote their books via BookTok.
D. It makes previously published books popular again.
D
Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean “the beginning of the end” of Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症) Could we even cure it some day These are headlines and questions swirling (流传) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase-3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer’s is complex, but CT and MRI scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal buildup of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer’s has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about 20, 000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side-effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31.4% on the drug compared with 13.6% in the placebo (安慰剂) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven’t yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain. So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
12. What can we learn about Alzheimer from the passage
A. It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain.
B. Most people will develop Alzheimer when they are old.
C. There exists a new drug to cure it completely.
D. It results from the loss of memories as people get older.
13. What does the underlined word “caveats” mean in paragraph 4
A. Weaknesses. B. Discussions. C. Debates. D. Warnings.
14. What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic
A. The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment.
B. It has the serious side-effects such as brain bleeding and deaths.
C The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people.
D. There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the new drug
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.

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.
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend was different from any other friends they had brought home. With a yellowish coat and tiny brown spots dropped across her nose, she was the cutest puppy I had ever seen.
When my husband got home that evening, he recognized the breed——a beagle puppy (猎兔犬), not more than twelve weeks old, he guessed. She ran to him right away and after dinner climbed into his lap to watch TV. By now the girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely. I tried to find seemingly logical reasons to explain my behavior.
By the end of the week, she was part of our family. We had named the puppy Molly. She was very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time for the girls to take responsibility for another life, so they would learn the nurturing skills they’d need if they decided to become mommies when they grew up.
The following week, something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was asking for the return of a lost beagle puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad.

Paragraph 2: I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately seeking.
