12．（10分） When a group of college students put their sorrows into action，they never imagined the project would fuel a nationwide movement to help deal with hunger and control on food waste.
But that's exactly what the Farmlink Project has done since 2020，bringing together hundreds of young volunteers to rescue nearly 77 million pounds of excess food and deliver it to those in need.The organization's efforts help farmers，the environment，and people struggling to feed their families all at once.
"In the United States，40 million Americans don't have enough food to eat.They don't know where their next meal is going to come from，" said Aidan Reilly，who co﹣founded Farmlink. "Meanwhile，in the United States，we're throwing out over 100 billion pounds of food every year."
Back in 2020，Reilly and his childhood friend James Kanoff were reading and watching news about food shortages，and they learned that area farms were forced to destroy excess produce that they couldn't sell，especially with restaurants，schools and hotels closed.Reilly，Kanoff and a core group of friends worked together over Zoom，texted and e﹣mailed to contact farms coast to coast."We didn't really set out to start a nonprofit，"Reilly said. "We just thought， 'There're so many people suffering，if we can figure out one way to help，then that'll be great.'"
In California，they found a farmer who had 13，000 eggs that could be donated，and Reilly offered to do the pickup and delivery himself.That was the first of many more deliveries.With"we'll come to you"as their catchphrase（标语），the group rented U﹣Haul trucks and attempted to do all the food pickup and deliveries themselves.
"We had a lot of small problems in the beginning，" Reilly said."We broke axles（车轴），loaded in 40，000 pounds of potatoes in a wrong way and had to try to drag them out by using another truck and a rope.But we made it work."
"Farmlink has worked with more than 100 farms and 300 communities in the US，rescuing and moving enough food to distribute more than 64 million meals，" Reilly said.
（1）What can we learn about Farmlink Project from the text？
A.It was launched by some college students.
B.It helps relieve American poverty.
C.It cooperated with the farms worldwide.
D.It is supported by the government.
（2）Why did some farms waste the produce left？
A.The produce was of poor quality.
B.Nobody came to purchase the produce.
C.The farmers refused to sell it at a low price.
D.Food shortages were no longer a problem globally.
（3）What difficulty did the students encounter in the start﹣up phase？
A.They were lacking in experience.
B.They overloaded the supply.
C.Their navigation aids didn't work.
D.The vehicles were inadequate.

C.Volunteers delivered farm produce to those in need.
D.Students took action to tackle hunger and food waste.
13．（10分） Tariq Qaiser，an architect，is trying to protect mangroves（红树林）.The trees could save Pakistan's largest city Karachi，sitting on the Arabian Sea，from natural disaster.He comes to BundalIsland several times a week to document the illegal cutting of mangro ve trees.Very often， "You can't hear a single bird because the chain saws are so loud.The trees are cut down illegally for firewood，"he says，shaking his head.Besides，developers clear the mangroves to make room for construction.
Karachi has a hot climate，and its concrete buildings and paved roads make it even hotter.Offshore，there are islands where mangroves grow.They could be the key to slowing climate change.Mangrove forests pull carbon dioxide out of the air，holding four times as much of the planet﹣warming gas as other forests can.They support diverse ecosystems.As sea levels rise with global warming，the trees could play a big role in protecting coastal cities like Karachi from flooding.Karachi's mangroves are disappearing.But its numbers are rising in other parts of Pakistan.With replanting efforts，the country has tripled（三倍于） its mangrove coverage over the past 30 years.
Qaiser's work may have worked.Recently，a court in Karachi declared Bundal Island's mangroves to be protected forests.But unforested parts of the island remain unprotected，and developers want to build there.City officials say this could provide much﹣needed housing and bring in billions of dollars.They claim that some of that money could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan.
Ecologist Rafiul Haq appreciates Qaiser's " extraordinary work " educating the public about mangroves.But he wishes Qaiser would look at the bigger picture. "Only 7% of Pakistan's mangroves are in Karachi，" Haq says.He thinks it's wrong to focus on the losses in 7% of the country while ignoring the success in 93% of it.But Qaiser believes it's important to protect every bit.
（1）What do we know about Karachi's mangroves？
A.They occupy the building land.
B.They're home to various birds.
C.They're primarily being used as firewood.
D.They protect the city from climate catastrophe.
（2）Why are efforts made to conserve the mangrove trees？
A.Their birthplaces meet crisis.
B.They boast huge diversity.
C.Their bonds with nature are close.
D.They grow at a rapid speed.
（3）What does the Karachi government plan to do？
A.Grow mangroves in other areas.
B.Destroy buildings to grow mangroves.
C.Build more mangrove reserves.
D.Use mangroves to make profit.
（4）What does Haq think of Qaiser's work on Karachi's mangroves？
A.Challenging.
B.Effective.
C.Insignificant.
D.Partial.
14．（10分） It's well﹣known that humor can benefit us both physically and mentally.The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times.In his 1905 book，Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious ，Sigmund Freud argue d that humor is the highest of the psyche's defense mechanism（机制），capable of turning anxiety into pleasure.
There are four humor styles.Affiliative humor refers to jokes about things that might be commonly considered funny，which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh.If you've ever shared a funny picture with a coworker，you've used affiliative humor.Self﹣enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself，often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result.Aggressive humor is laughing at the expense of others ，which often involves sarcasm（讽刺），teasing，and criticism.Self﹣defeating humor is the art of putting yourself down to gain favor from your peers，which is possibly used by someone who's targeted by bullies.
Each style of humor actually carries a different influence，when it comes to mental health.Julie Aitken Schermer，a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario，says people using self﹣enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others.By contrast，both aggressive and self﹣defeating humor styles can hint at trouble. "We find that self﹣defeating humor is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering.Those with an aggressive humor style may not experience loneliness as much，however，since they rely on group dynamics（群体动力） in order to make fun of their peers，"says Schermer.
Even if you tend to favor more negative humor styles，there's no reason to lose heart.Schermer says people can develop a positive，self﹣enhancing humor style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life.As author Kurt Vonnegut once wrote， "Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties.I prefer to laugh，since there is less cleaning up to do afterward."
（1）Why is Sigmund Freud's book mentioned in Paragraph 1？
A.To show the importance of mental health.
B.To stress the role of humor.
C.To persuade people to stay positive.
D.To introduce ancient jokes to us.
（2）According to the text，which kind of humor may you use to relieve pressure？
A.Affiliative humor.
B.Self﹣enhancing humor.
C.Aggressive humor.
D.Self﹣defeating humor.
（3）What does the underlined phrase" hint at"probably mean in the third paragraph？
A.Signal.
B.Explain.
C.Prevent.
D.Solve.
（4）Which of the following will Kurt Vonnegut probably agree with？
A.Humor is difficult to control.
B.Crying is a good way of relief.
C.Humor is a double﹣edged sword.
D.Laughter is the best cure for stress.
第二节 （共1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。
15．（12.5分） Humanities departments（人文院系） in America are once again being cut down.Earlier this month，the State University of New York（SUNY） Stony Brook announced a plan to abandon several of the college's well ﹣known departments for lack of fund.The University of Pittsburgh has cut its German and classics.（1） .In the UK，Middlesex University decided to gradually get rid of philosophy department.In June 2015，the Japanese minister of education sent a letter to the presidents of the national universities of Japan，suggesting they close their graduate and undergraduate departments in the humanities and social sciences and focus on something more practical.
These are hard times.Instead of Shakespeare or French，there will be（perhaps there already are）college classes in how to cut corporate spending.（2） .But the only opportunity has been lost if they are denied the opportunity to study foreign languages，the classics，literature，philosophy，music，theater and art in the university.When else in their busy lives will they get that chance？
（3） .Essays explain why we need these subjects，and what their loss will mean.These areas of learning provide us with the ability to think critically and independently；to see both sides of an issue；to look beneath the surface of what we are being told；to appreciate the ways in which language can help us understand one another more clearly.
I don't believe that the humanities can make you a decent person.（4） .Studying philosophy teaches us about those who have gone before us.A foreign language brings us closer to those with whom we share the planet.The humanities touch those aspects of awareness that we call intellect and heart. （5） .
A.These subjects are under attack
B.Students need practical skills to find jobs
C.Defenses of the humanities have appeared
D.This problem has also arisen internationally
E.Therefore，courses in the humanities are beneficial
F.It helps us learn how to think and live in a harmonious society
G.But they can expand our sense of what humans can accomplish and create

第二节 （满分25分）
19．（25分）When I was little，I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers，and roses were the most beautiful of them.There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me.When I was in primary school and old enough to read，I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade.I had been picked to be the princess in the school play，and for weeks my mother had rehearsed （排练） my lines so hard with me.But no matter how easily I acted at home，as soon as I stepped onstage，every word disappeared from my head.Finally，my teacher took me aside.She explained that she had written a narrator's （旁白、解说员）part to the play，and asked me to change roles.Her word，kindly expressed，still hurt，especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day.But she sensed my pain.Instead of suggesting we practice my lines，she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and，under the trees，we could also see yellow dandelions （蒲公英） in the grass，as if a painter had painted our garden with red，yellow and green.I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. "I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds，" she said，pulling it up by its roots. "From now on，we'll have only roses in this garden."
"But I like dandelions，" I protested. "All flowers are beautiful —— even dandelions."
My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes，every flower is beautiful in its own way，isn't it？" She asked thoughtfully.I nodded，pleased that I had won her over. "And that is true of people too，" she added. "Not everyone can be a princess，but there is no shame in that." Relieved that she had guessed my pain，I started to cry as I told her what had happened.She listened and smiled reassuringly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
"But you will be a beautiful narrator，" she said，_______________
After the play，I took home the flower._______________

（2）细节理解题。根据Hisense 75''U 80 X0 GR 8 K ULED Roku TV部分Calling it"affordable"may be a little overstate，but compared to most 8 KTVs which all run over ＄5，000，it's the most cost﹣efficient version of the tech we've got.（说它"经济实惠"可能有点夸张，但与大多数售价超过5000美元的8台KTV相比，它是我们所拥有的技术中最具成本效益的版本。）可知海信8 K电视的特别之处是经济实惠。故选C。

12．【分析】这是一篇说明文，讲述了一群大学生如何通过创立Farmlink项目，将农场的过剩食物捐赠给需要的人，从而解决饥饿问题并减少食物浪费。文章提到，自2020年以来，Farmlink项目已经吸引了数百名年轻志愿者，共救援了近7700万磅的过剩食物。文章还提到了Farmlink项目的创始人Aidan Reilly和他的朋友们是如何开始这个项目的，以及他们在项目初期遇到的一些挑战。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。文章第一段中提到When a group of college students put their sorrows into action，they never imagined the project would fuel a nationwide movement to help deal with hunger and control on food waste.（当一群大学生将他们的悲伤付诸行动时，他们从未想到这个项目会推动一场全国性的运动，帮助解决饥饿和控制食物浪费。） 由此可知这是由一些大学生发起的项目。故选A。

"We broke axles（车轴），loaded in 40，000 pounds of potatoes in a wrong way and had to try to drag them out by using another truck and a rope.But we made it work."（"一开始我们遇到了很多小问题，"赖利说。"我们弄坏了车轴，用错误的方式装了4万磅土豆，不得不用另一辆卡车和一根绳子把它们拖出来。但我们成功了。"） 由此可知学生在创业阶段遇到的困难是他们缺乏经验。故选A。
（4）主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文，讲述了一群大学生如何通过创立Farmlink项目，将农场的过剩食物捐赠给需要的人，从而解决饥饿问题并减少食物浪费。文章提到，自2020年以来，Farmlink项目已经吸引了数百名年轻志愿者，共救援了近7700万磅的过剩食物。文章还提到了Farmlink项目的创始人Aidan Reilly和他的朋友们是如何开始这个项目的，以及他们在项目初期遇到的一些挑战。文章第一段开篇点题When a group of college students put their sorrows into action，they never imagined the project would fuel a nationwide movement to help deal with hunger and control on food waste.（当一群大学生将他们的悲伤付诸行动时，他们从未想到这个项目会推动一场全国性的运动，帮助解决饥饿和控制食物浪费。）由此可知这篇文章主要讲的是学生们采取行动解决饥饿和食物浪费问题。故选D。

13．【分析】建筑师塔里克 凯瑟正在努力保护红树林，这些树木可能会保护巴基斯坦最大的城市卡拉奇免受自然灾害的侵袭。他每周都会去布达尔岛记录非法砍伐红树林的情况。红树林能够吸收大量的二氧化碳，对缓解气候变化起着关键作用。近年来，卡拉奇的红树林正在消失，但在巴基斯坦的其他地方，红树林的数量正在增加。凯瑟的工作可能已经取得了成效，卡拉奇的一家法院最近宣布布达尔岛的红树林为保护林。然而，生态学家拉菲乌尔 哈克希望凯瑟能看到更大的问题，他认为凯瑟过于关注卡拉奇的红树林，而忽视了全国93%地区的成功。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段The trees could save Pakistan's largest city Karachi，sitting on the Arabian Sea，from natural disaster.（这些树木可以使位于阿拉伯海的巴基斯坦最大城市卡拉奇免遭自然灾害。）可知我们对卡拉奇的红树林的了解是它们保护城市免受气候灾难的影响。故选D。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段They could be the key to slowing climate change.Mangrove forests pull carbon dioxide out of the air，holding four times as much of the planet﹣warming gas as other forests can.They support diverse ecosystems.As sea levels rise with global warming，the trees could play a big role in protecting coastal cities like Karachi from flooding.（它们可能是减缓气候变化的关键。红树林从空气中吸收二氧化碳，其吸收的温室气体是其他森林的四倍。它们支持不同的生态系统。随着全球变暖导致海平面上升，这些树木可以在保护卡拉奇等沿海城市免受洪水侵袭方面发挥重要作用。）可知要努力保护红树林是因为它们与自然的联系很紧密。故选C。
（3）推理判断题。根据第三段City officials say this could provide much﹣needed housing and bring in billions of dollars.They claim that some of that money could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan.（市政府官员表示，这可以提供急需的住房，并带来数十亿美元的收入。他们声称，其中一些钱可以用来在巴基斯坦其他地区种植红树林。）可知卡拉奇政府计划在其他地区种植红树林。故选A。

14．【分析】这篇文章主要讨论了幽默对我们身心健康的影响，以及四种不同的幽默风格：联谊幽默、自我提升幽默、攻击性幽默和自我贬低幽默。文章指出，每种幽默风格对心理健康的影响不同，自我提升幽默能减少孤独感和人际关系问题，而攻击性和自我贬低的幽默可能暗示存在问题。然而，文章也提到，人们可以通过关注生活中轻松和幽默的方面，培养积极的、自我提升的幽默风格。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段It's well﹣known that humor can benefit us both physically and mentally.The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times.In his 1905 book，Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious ，Sigmund Freud argue d that humor is the highest of the psyche's defense mechanism（机制），capable of turning anxiety into pleasure.（众所周知，幽默对我们的身心都有好处。笑是最好的良药这一观点自古以来就存在。西格蒙德 弗洛伊德在他1905年出版的《笑话及其与无意识的关系》一书中认为，幽默是心灵的最高防御机制，能够将焦虑转化为快乐。）可知第一段提到了西格蒙德 弗洛伊德的书是为了强调幽默的作用。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段Self﹣enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself，often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result.（自我提升的幽默包括能够自嘲，通常是你处理压力或困难的一种方式，结果感觉更好。）可知根据文章，用来缓解压力的是自我提升的幽默。故选B。
（3）词义猜测题。根据第三段Julie Aitken Schermer，a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario，says people using self﹣enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others.By contrast，both aggressive and self﹣defeating humor styles can hint at trouble. （西安大略大学（The University of Western Ontario）的心理学研究员朱莉 艾特肯 谢默（Julie Aitken Schermer）说，使用自我增强幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不佳的迹象。相比之下，咄咄逼人和自我挫败的幽默风格都可能暗示出麻烦。）可知划线词意思是"暗示"。A.Signal.暗示；B.Explain.解释；C.Prevent.阻止；D.Solve.解决。故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段Schermer says people can develop a positive，self﹣enhancing humor style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life.As author Kurt Vonnegut once wrote， "Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties.I prefer to laugh，since there is less cleaning up to do afterward."（Schermer说，人们可以通过关注生活中更轻松、更幽默的方面来培养一种积极、自我提升的幽默风格。正如作家库尔特 冯内古特曾经写道："欢笑和泪水都是对担忧和焦虑的反应。我更喜欢笑，因为笑完之后要做的清理工作少了。"）可知库尔特 冯内古特可能会同意的是：笑是治疗压力的最好方法。故选D。

（2）推理判断题。上一段介绍人文学科被削减的情况，及空后But the only opportunity has been lost if they are denied the opportunity to study foreign languages，the classics，literature，philosophy，music，theater and art in the university.（但是，如果他们被剥夺了在大学学习外语、古典文学、文学、哲学、音乐、戏剧和艺术的机会，那么他们就失去了唯一的机会。）介绍我们需要人文学科的原因，因此空处应承上启下，维护人文学科，且与上段形成对比，同时引出下文。选项C.Defenses of the humanities have appeared（对人文学科的辩护出现了），符合语境。故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据下文Essays explain why we need these subjects，and what their loss will mean.（文章解释了我们为什么需要这些主题，以及它们的损失意味着什么。）可知，空处上下文均在介绍学习人文学科对我们的好处，因此，空处应承接上下文，也介绍学习人文学科的好处。选项F.It helps us learn how to think and live in a harmonious society（它帮助我们学习如何在和谐社会中思考和生活），符合语境。故选F。
（4）推理判断题。根据上文I don't believe that the humanities can make you a decent person（我不认为人文学科会让你成为一个正派的人），及下文Studying philosophy teaches us about those who have gone before us.A foreign language brings us closer to those with whom we share the planet.（学习哲学让我们了解那些在我们之前走过的人。一门外语让我们更接近那些与我们共享地球的人。）可知人文学科让我们了解前人，一门外语让我们更接近与我们共享这个星球的人。因此空处应与空前形成转折关系，表明人文学科的好处。对比选项，选项G.But they can expand our sense of what humans can accomplish and create（但是它们能关注并扩大我们对人类成就和创造的认识），符合语境。故选G。
（5）推理判断题。根据上文The humanities touch those aspects of awareness that we call intellect and heart（人文学科触及意识的那些方面，我们称之为智力和心灵），可知人文科学不一定会让你成为正派的人，但是它们能给你带来其他好处，由此可知，人文科学是有益的，空处承接并总结了上文，也是对全文的总结。选项E.Therefore，courses in the humanities are beneficial（因此，人文科学的课程是有益的），符合语境。故选E。
【点评】七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子。解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子。

【点评】解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
