Billy Barr, 71, paused outside his mountainside cabin to measure the water percentage in snow. This year, it contained about 10 percent. “Another year of high figure,” Barr sighed. Things were quite different five years ago, when the number had been around 6 percent. “Now the snow here has gotten wetter for sure. We understand that weather is weather, and it changes all the time. But all of a sudden, the last five years have all presented high figures,” said Barr. “So that’s when things need our attention.”

Barr arrived in Gothic in 1972 as a student helping on a water chemistry project. He stayed until the end of the year, then came permanently the following summer. In the

mountains, he felt relaxed — even though home was a mining hut with a lamp and a sleeping bag. He’d always liked numbers; as a kid, he counted gas stations on family trips. That’s what inspired his records, not some grand scientific ambition. Over time, Barr found he liked comparing one year to others.

On a recent afternoon, Barr sat at his computer, skimming through decades of numbers. In the numbers, he pointed out patterns. Nearly half the record low temperatures came in his first decade here, and more than half the record highs occurred in the past one. “Back in the 70s, there were winters when we had over 100 days in a row when it didn’t get above freezing. Last winter, the most was nine,” Barr worried. “There’s a trend there. I really think we’re in a load of trouble. And we don’t have much time for this.”

After filling 10 notebooks with his records, Barr now organizes them in Excel and publishes them on his website. Researchers regularly ask him for data, he said, and he was always pleased to share. Barr is witnessing snow fall here for the 50th year straight. “I just  want to keep it going. It is interesting — it is, I think. And it’s helpful.”

24. According to Barr, why should water percentage in snow be paid attention to?

A. It increased by 4 percent this year. B. It varies from 6 percent to 10 percent.

C. It is changeable like weather. D. It has been increasingly high for years.

25. What made Barr choose to stay in mountains?

A. The sense of relaxation. B. The boredom from city life.

C. The passion for comfort. D. The commitment to scientific ambition.

26. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
    1. There is no hurry at all for people to address this issue.
    2. More days above freezing have come in the last decade.
    3. People are prepared to face temperature trouble nowadays.
    4. 100 days of continuous low temperature is common now.
27. Which words best describe Billy Barr?

A. Crazy and ambitious. B. Generous and devoted.

C. Lonely and outdated. D. Patient and optimistic.

C

Space elevators — yes, literal elevators that will carry us into orbit — may not be as far from reality as we think, says Stephen Cohen, a space engineer and physics professor. According to his ideas, such a wild concept could be realistic relatively soon.

So, what exactly is a space elevator? Well, humans are headed to Mars by 2040, if all goes well, and one of the largest issues is the transport. Getting people up to space is a difficult and expensive task. A much better way, some believe, could be to put a really, really long cable (电缆) from the Earth’s surface all the way to orbit, and pass a pod ( 分离舱) up and down the cable. It would save on fuel, reduce overall expenses, and be far less dangerous than rockets.

However, as you can imagine, though, space elevators do not come without significant questions. For example, how would the rope stay tight? How could we ensure that nothing comes along and destroys the cable, like terrible weather or space junk? How would you even build such a thing?

Stephen Cohen, a long-time space elevator enthusiast, believes he has all the answers: Basically, a satellite orbiting Earth drops a cable (a very, very long one) while using fuel to get away from the Earth further into space. In this way the cable remains tight as it is fastened to the ground.

Unfortunately, modern tech can’t solve this because the cable needs a specific strength of around 50 times that of steel. But according to Cohen, we’re likely around 10 years away from the material being made and we shall be walking on Mars even before 2040.

Most scientists remain unconvinced — space elevators have been spoken about for years and yet a lot of questions are to be answered. But, who knows, maybe the days of fastening ourselves to rockets could soon be over; we can only imagine the astronauts would welcome the day.

28. What advantage does the space elevator have over the traditional transport?

A. Smaller noise. B. Higher speed. C. Less cost. D. Better protection.

29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
    1. The operating steps of the space elevator.
    2. The obvious benefits of the space elevator.
    3. The potential impacts of the space elevator.
    4. The possible challenges of the space elevator.
30. What makes it impossible to build a space elevator now?
    1. The high risks are difficult to predict accurately.
    2. The dangerous tasks are hard to fulfil successfully.
    3. The required material is not technologically available.
    4. The fuel-burning satellite will lead to serious pollution.

31. What is most scientists’ attitude towards the space elevator?

A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Opposed.

D

A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. The experience can be destructive. You might find yourself listening more to sad music, hoping it can resonate with your feelings of disappointment, and you’ll never heal (治愈) from your broken heart.

You might go through a strong feeling of sorrow, as in Neil Young’s “Only Love Can

Break Your Heart”, or the pain of a lyric from Bob Dylan’s “Love Sick”: “I’m sick of love. I wish I’d never met you.”

But research shows listening to sad music can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. Or, from any negative, disappointing life situation. It can activate empathy (共情) and the desire to reach out for others — both pathways out of the prison of heartache and hopelessness.

A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music can lift the feelings of empathy, compassion, and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from anxiety with yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.

Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” excited their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously understood the situation causing their sadness before beginning to listen to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did. But that wasn’t true if they just listened to sad music without first thinking about the sad situation.

Then, you may be answering the question raised in the old Bee Gees’ song, “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?’’

32. What does the underlined word “resonate” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Communicate. B. Cooperate. C. Contrast. D. Correspond.

33. Why are the songs of Neil Young and Bob Dylan mentioned?
    1. To present the sad feelings from their songs.
    2. To celebrate their achievements in the music field.
    3. To compare the difference between their music.
    4. To convince others of the healing effects of music.
34. What can we learn from the experiment from University of Kent?
    1. Shared feelings might enable people to help others.
    2. Sad music can strengthen relationship between people.
    3. Showing empathy does good both mentally and physically.
    4. Sad songs can benefit people with the intention of lifting spirits.

35. Which is a suitable title for the text?

A. What does music bring to us? B. How can sad music heal a broken heart?

C. Why is sad music so popular? D. When can we turn to others for help?

第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）

阅读下面短文, 全科试题免费下载公众号《高中僧课堂》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。

Friendship is based on respect, common interests, and laughter. Studying doesn’t usually appear on the list of shared activities. So why are more and more students meeting with their friends after class to do homework and prepare for exams? There is a simple reason: Having a study buddy (同伴) has many advantages. Of course, you can always study alone at home, but you’ll miss the numerous benefits that come from learning with a friend or two. There are several reasons why you should think of finding a study buddy or a study group.

1. It can reduce procrastination (拖延) and distraction.

    36 But when you have a study buddy, it will  be easier to  achieve because you will keep each other reliable. With common goals in mind, you will avoid being unnecessarily distracted and focus on the result.

2. 37    

Having a study buddy can help you learn faster. Let’s face it: two brains are always better than one. You can also learn some new study methods and techniques from your study buddy. When you have someone to discuss the newly acquired information, learning becomes more accessible. 38   

3. Study buddies can test each other.

Apart from teaching each other, motivating each other, and holding each other accountable, you can get a better result from testing each other.    39     It can help to identify areas that    need more attention.

4. Learning becomes organized yet fun.

Last but not least, it can be enjoyable to share your study journey  with  another person.    40     Plus, it is nice to have a break once in a while. It will turn the learning into a fun yet organized process.

1. You get the material faster than alone.
2. A smarter learning partner will guide you.
3. Quizzing before the exam can benefit both of you.
4. Most students are struggling to stay focused and motivated.
5. A funny friend who keeps joking with you is an advantage.
6. Besides that, you can clarify something if either of you isn’t sure.
7. Long evenings in the library will seem less lonely if you’re with a friend.

It’s 2023 and almost everyone with a smartphone also has a high-resolution ( 分辨率) camera built-in. We carry this image-making 41 with us at all times. We snap photos and  videos of our daily lives.

Every day I record something. It seems I     42      go 24 hours without snapping a photo  or video of some sort. I began to wonder — why? Why can’t I just go a day without pressing the shutter (快门) button? My huge number of photos and videos began to 43 me.

I’ve loved photography since I was a teenager. Lots of cherished family 44 were

documented. Revisiting them was like    45    a treasure box. I’m    46    for these visual  records because they showed my youth and growth.

For more than a decade I worked as a professional filmmaker and photographer because I loved the  47   conveyed by the story on video. I  recorded a  wide range  of varieties,   therefore collecting tens of thousands of     48    — both still and moving. However, gradually  I felt I was drowning under them and so I deleted a large part. This was   49    but in some  ways it set me free.

Image  taking and   50   have greatly changed ever since the social media became   popular. Like it or not, it’s not surprising to see many have become     51      sharing our lives on the social media — about 86 million images are 52  to Wechat daily. We want to show others what we’re up to. We want to be seen. We want to   53    . Perhaps it helps us feel   less 54 ; as if someone is there to see us grow and achieve. We don’t feel as if we’re 55 .

The Rainbow Chase (追逐)

One summer afternoon, about 8 years old, I was standing at a window of the farmhouse, looking at a beautiful rainbow that seemed to be losing itself in thick woods about a quarter of  a mile distant.

No one was in the room then but my brother Rufus. “See, brother,” I said, “The rainbow drops right down among the woods.”

“Do you know, Gracie,” said Rufus seriously, “if you should go there, you would find pots of gold and silver.”

“Is it truly so?” I asked.

“Truly so.” Answered Rufus, with a smile. I was then a simple-hearted child, believing everything told me. Without another word, I dashed out of the door, setting off towards the woods. Rufus called after me loudly, but I didn’t stop.

I cared nothing for the wet grass and ran on. Thinking what fine presents I could give to my friends and laying delightful plans, before I knew it, I had reached the woods, and the rainbow was not there! But I saw it shining down among the trees a little further off, so on and

on I struggled, through the thick bushes and over logs, till I came within the sound of a steam. Then I thought, “What if the rainbow should come down right in the muddy stream? What about the heavy pots of gold and silver? How should I get them out?” I reached the bank of the stream, and again the rainbow was not there! It was on the other side!

I crossed the steam on a fallen tree and on and on I ran, though my legs began to give out and every inch of my body ached. It was rather hard travelling in a journey after riches. The woods grew thicker, darker and scarier; the ground more wet and slippery. Fright and hurry made me forget the rainbow. When at last I remembered and looked for it, it was nowhere in sight. It had faded away! I burst into tears; for I had lost all my treasures and had nothing to show off but muddy feet and wet and torn dress.
