Dolly Parton was one of the six honorees to receive the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy on Thursday night at Gotham Hall in New York. She was celebrated for her extraordinary contributions that make the world a better place.
It is thought that Dolly Parton has been quietly paying for the band uniforms of many Tennessee high schools for years. She used the songwriting payment she earned from Whitney Houston’s version of I Will Always Love You to purchase a shopping center in Nashville to support the surrounding black community in Houston’s honor.
Her “Imagination Library” provides children under age 5 with a free book every month. The library aims to inspire a love for reading through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local community partners in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and the Republic of Ireland. Currently, Parton sends out about 2 million free books each month. Parton has also donated many books to disaster relief. In 2021, she even raised $700,000 to help residents impacted by the terrible flooding in Middle Tennessee.
In her Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy speech, Parton said she didn’t really have a strategy for her donations. “I just give from my heart. I never know what I’m going to do or why I’m going to do it. I often see a need, and if I can meet it, then I will,” she said.
This year, Parton also carried out the Care More Program at her Dollywood Parks and Resorts, which gives employees a day off to volunteer at a nonprofit of their choice. Parton said, “I hope the program will let people realize that when they help somebody, they help themselves more.” “That’s what we should do as human beings,” she said. “I’ve never quite understood why we have to let religion and politics and other things stand in the way of just being good human beings. I think it’s important just to feel like you’re doing your part and doing something good and right.”
4、Why did Parton buy a shopping center?
A.To give aid to others. B.To honor black leaders.
C.To pay for songwriting. D.To support her music career.
5、What is the main purpose of “Imagination Library”?
A.To sell children’s books.
B.To collect money for disaster relief.
C.To motivate children’s interest in books.
D.To promote international financial cooperation.
6、What can we learn about Parton from paragraph 4?
A.She was forced to do charity.
B.She made donations occasionally.
C.She always helped those in need.
D.She used to make well-planned donations.
7、What does Parton want to tell people through the Care More Program?
A.Giving is receiving.
B.Employees come first.
C.It is important to tell right from wrong.
D.Religion stands in the way of volunteering.
The universe is incredibly vast. The diameter (直径) of the observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light years across. With just our eyes, we can generally only see a few thousand light years worth of distance though there are some objects we can see that are much further away. The farthest object we can see with our eyes is Andromeda Galaxy (仙女座星系) located 2.5 million light years away, and yet it is only visible if there is little light pollution. In order to see farther into space, we must rely on telescopes. How far can we see using the most powerful telescopes?
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was the record holder for the farthest visible distance in space until the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2021. JWST is now the most powerful telescope ever built, and it is able to see the universe as it was only 200 million years after the Big Bang. That means that JWST is able to piece together an additional 300 million years of universal history compared to HST. JWST will be able to study some of the first galaxies to form after the Big Bang.
The farthest physical distance we can see is the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). CMBR can be thought of as the echo (回声) of the Big Bang as it is the leftover radiation from the birth of the universe. The CMBR itself is the farthest possible distance humans can see as it represents the moment that the universe became transparent to light. Although light did exist before CMBR, gas and dust were simply too dense for light to cross space. CMBR formed only 380,000 years after the Big Bang, and so we are seeing the universe prior to the formation of even the first stars.
8、Why does the author mention Andromeda Galaxy?
A. To present the origin of the universe.
B. To stress the severity of space pollution.
C. To show the limited range of human vision.
D. To prove humans’ wonderful view of space.
9、What do we know about JWST?
A. It was launched in 2022.
B. It is more advanced than HST.
C. It can see 300 million years after the Big Bang.
D. It was used to study the formation of the first galaxies.
10、What does the underlined word “dense” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Distant. B. Rare. C. Tiny. D. Thick.
11、What is the best title for the text?
A. How Far Can Humans See In Space? B. How Will JWST Be Applied?
C. How Will Humans Explore Space? D. How Far Can JWST See?
In many casual discussion of language on the Internet, it’s common to hear about how “textspeak (短信语言)” is ruining language. Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write. Mainstream media have complained about the way in which people communicate using technology.
Of course, language does change when it’s used to text or write messages online. “Textspeak” is an evolution of language. It’s even the focus of the field of linguistics (语言学) called Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). This field is devoted to the study of interaction facilitated by technology like computers, mobile phones and tablets. People have been complaining about language being “ruined” as long as they’ve been writing and speaking. In a talk, linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people complaining about language change through the ages. He said in AD 63, for example, a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in an “artificial language”. In fact, this writing was a new language that would become French!
Today, people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies. Perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon (表情符号), which can produce very clear pictures in our minds. The emoticon, for example, is a visual representation of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any number of facial expressions, it doesn’t really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to express a feeling, such as “I’m happy” or “just joking”.
Emoticons that represent these feelings are what linguists call discourse particles. These are little pieces of language that offer information about the tone of the statement though some elders feel puzzled about it. Far from ruining language, it turns out that “textspeak” enables people to communicate complex feelings in a simple, streamlined manner. This kind of change is perfect for the modern, fast-paced world.
12、What have mainstream media complained about according to paragraph 1?
A. Communication barriers. B. The mode of communication.
C. Technological innovations. D. The laziness of modern people.
13、How does the author support the argument on language evolution?
A. By giving an example. B. By conducting an experiment.
C. By making comparisons. D. By underlying assumptions.
14、Which word can best describe emoticons?
A. Misty. B. Violent. C. Vivid. D. Mysterious.
15、What is the author’s attitude towards “textspeak”?
A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
二、七选五
16、 It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. It is then that you may want to eat something sweet, perhaps a sweet drink or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. ①________
But a study suggests that sugar can make you feel worse rather than lift your mood. The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. ②________ Those emotions include anger, alertness, depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense over time.
According to researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling. ③________ As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people being tired and less alert.
④________ According to WHO, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as they make up less than 5 percent of our daily total energy intake.
So the next time you feel tired and can’t concentrate on study and work, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. There are still other ways to relieve tiredness. ⑤________
A. Maybe a little exercise at midday is a better idea.
B. So cutting sweet food out of the diet is a good choice.
C. They studied the effect of sugar on some aspects of mood.
D. After all, it’s believed that a “sugar rush” gives you energy.
E. Sugar in any form is not necessarily good for the human body.
F. But the result of the study doesn’t mean giving up sweet food altogether.
G. To remain on a “high”, people may eat more sugar until they become addicted to it.

六、读后续写
34、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。
I lived with Lassie, a black and white dog, sitting with her head on my lap, her intelligent, brown eyes staring at me as if to say, “Have a good day.”
Lassie arrived at my front door four years ago. Because I couldn’t find its owner, I had to keep it. Throughout the years, she was with me, proving to be a superb “judge” time and time again. I never knew if it was as a result of her sense of smell or sound or sixth sense. However, whatever it was, she definitely had a talent humans lacked. She would either wag the tip of her tail a couple of times to indicate that the visitors were acceptable, or slightly curl her top lip, which told you to be cautious. Her judgement was always accurate. Her gift was never more apparent than tonight.
The doorbell rang. I decided not to answer it. It rang again more insistently this time. Someone just wouldn’t go away. Still I hesitated. On the fourth ring, with Lassie by my side, I finally answered the call. I was getting very nervous for there stood a “monster”. The man had big eyes with a twisted body under a heavy overcoat, and his head leaned slightly forward.
“May I use your phone?” The deep voice came from somewhere back in his throat. Although the request was polite, his tone was rough. I shrank back as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. He took a step forward and further asked me for permission. Again, I refused his request. Thinking he might try and force his way in, I looked at Lassie to see if she was ready to defend our home. Surprisingly, she sat by my side, the tip of her tail wagging.
“You’re crazy, Lassie,” I thought to myself. But there was no denying sign. Based on past experience, I trusted her judgement. The man explained to me that he lost his phone by accident.
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。
Unwillingly, I handed my phone to the man.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After that, I almost forgot about the man, but one day, a deep voice came from outside the door again.

32、答案：①to protect②accounts③estimated④the⑤have been pictured⑥responsible⑦which⑧as⑨usually⑩standing
解析：①考查不定式。句意：然而，由于某些文化已经找到了通过口头传统、书面记录和世代相传的文化实践来保护其历史的方法，例如，辛巴人的神奇红膏剂Otjize，因此所有的希望都没有丧失。此处用不定式作后置定语，修饰名词ways。故填to protect。
②考查名词复数。句意：然而，由于某些文化已经找到了通过口头传统、书面记录和世代相传的文化实践来保护其历史的方法，例如，辛巴人的神奇红膏剂Otjize，因此所有的希望都没有丧失。可数名词account (记述)，复数名词accounts表泛指，作介词through的宾语。故填accounts。
③考查形容词。句意：辛巴人在一个非洲部落，估计人口为50000人，位于今天的纳米比亚北部。形容词estimated (估计的)作定语，修饰名词population。故填estimated。
④考查冠词。句意：辛巴部落通常被称为纳米比亚最后的游牧民族。the last (最后的)作定语，修饰名词短语nomadic people，用定冠词the。故填the。
⑤考查时态语态。句意：辛巴族妇女以其红土色的皮肤和头发而闻名，迄今为止，她们被描绘成非洲部落的象征性形象。谓语动词picture和主语the Himba women之间是被动关系，时间状语是up to now，用现在完成时的被动语态，主语复数，谓语复数形式。故填have been pictured。
⑥考查形容词。句意：辛巴族妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize是她们拥有独特红色皮肤的原因，因此她们被称为“非洲的红色人种”。be responsible for(对……负责、是……的原因)，形容词responsible作表语。故填responsible。
⑦考查定语从句关系词。句意：辛巴族妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize是她们拥有独特红色皮肤的原因，因此她们被称为“非洲的红色人种”。该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是their skins’ distinct red colour，指物，关系词在从句中做主语，用关系代词which。故填which。
⑧考查固定搭配。句意：Otjize由多种材料混合而成，将深红色赋予皮肤，被视为辛巴人的理想美容标准。be regarded as(被当作)。故填as。
⑨考查副词。句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人具有重要意义，代表着地球丰富的红色、血液和生命的本质。副词usually作状语修饰动词hold。故填usually。
⑩考查现在分词。句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人具有重要意义，代表着地球丰富的红色、血液和生命的本质。本句已有谓语holds且无连词，动词短语stand for用非谓语形式，逻辑主语Otjize与动词短语stand for是主谓关系，stand for用现在分词(doing)表主动，作状语。故填standing。

The Elder I Want to Thank Most

34、答案：
Unwillingly, I handed my phone to the man. He thanked me as he picked it up. I stood there without shame and listened to the conversation, from which I learned his roof had been broken in the storm, and he needed someone to repair it immediately. Lassie always followed anyone she mistrusted until they left the house. Strangely, she paid no attention to our visitor this time. Instead, she went back into the living room and curled up by the fire.
After that, I almost forgot about the man, but one day, a deep voice came from outside the door again. “Is there anybody inside?” Someone said outside. And the doorbell rang. I answered the door to find the rainy-night stranger standing there, handing me a large box of chocolates. “Thank you for your kindness,” he said. Then he placed a packet of dog treats in my other hand. “And this is for your good friend with good sense.” Again, he got the same warm welcome from my wise dog, Lassie.
解析：本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和一只狗Lassie住在一起，某天夜里来了一个男人来找作者借电话，作者听从了Lassie的直觉，给男人借了电话。最后事实证明男人的确不是坏人，他用巧克力和狗粮感谢了作者和Lassie。
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我很不情愿地把手机递给了那个人。”可知，第一段可描写作者借电话的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，我几乎忘记了那个人，但有一天，一个低沉的声音又从门外传来。”可知，第二段可描写男人回来感谢作者和Lassie。
