(B)
About a decade ago, Lawson was at a beach in Virginia watching his kids build castles right next to the waves.
“I kept trying to get them to come back because I thought it was a terrible idea,” he remarked. He wanted them to build their sandcastles closer to the dunes (沙丘). But they found it more exciting to build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destroyed, and then rebuilding them with whatever debris (残骸) washed up from the ocean. “It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures. “It seemed like it would work beautifully without words,” he said.
A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng. It’s the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop. Leng’s illustrations stay pretty true to real life. Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying hat. “To me it’s a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life. These are the things I like to capture (捕捉),” said Leng.
Leng spent part of her childhood in France, and she was inspired by European comic books “What I love to do when I illustrate a picture book is add side stories to the main storyline. I always think about the readers and the longevity(持久) of the book, and I want them to be able to discover something new every time they revisit the book,” Leng explained.
At the end of the day, the sleepy-eyed kids pile into the bus that will take them home. “Those last pages are some of my favorite. They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the beach, when it’s getting dark and you feel completely exhausted,” Lawson said. It must be a universal childhood feeling: happy with sand, sticky from the salt, hot from the sun, and ready to fall asleep the moment you get into the car.
4. Why does Lawson mention the scene where the kids built sandcastles?
A. To suggest a way to enjoy leisure. B. To remind readers of the childhood.
C. To convince us of how life works. D. To tell us the inspiration for his book.
5. What do you know about the two books mentioned?
A. They are purchased by kids universally. B. Readers can only find pictures in them.
C. They carry no elements of comic books. D. The stories are literally works of fantasy.
6. How does Lawson feel when telling us the last pages in the last paragraph?
A. Updated. B. Pleased. C. Disturbed. D. Exhausted.
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Childhood in sandcastles B. Beautiful childhood memories
C. Popular illustrated books D. Explore the mystery of nature
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了两本描绘了童年在沙堡里度过的无字图画书。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But they found it more exciting to build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destroyed, and then rebuilding them with whatever debris (残骸) washed up from the ocean. “It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures. (但是他们发现更令人兴奋的是在海浪冲击的地方建造，看着他们的沙堡被摧毁，然后用从海里冲上来的任何碎片重建它们。劳森说:“不知何故，这似乎象征着生活不仅仅是建造完美的沙堡。”当他决定把那个阳光明媚的日子变成一本儿童读物时，他的想法变成了只用图片。)”可推知，Lawson提到孩子们建沙堡的那个场景是为了告诉我们他这本书的灵感来源于此。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures.(当他决定把那个阳光明媚的日子变成一本儿童读物时，他的想法变成了只用图片。)”和第三段中“A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng. It’s the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop.(《沙堡的一天》由Qin Leng绘制。这是继2021年的《超越商店》之后，Lawson和Leng的第二本无字图画书。)”可知，文中提到的这两本书都只有图片，所以读者在这两本书里面只能看到图片。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Those last pages are some of my favorite. They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the beach, when it’s getting dark and you feel completely exhausted,” Lawson said. It must be a universal childhood feeling: happy with sand, sticky from the salt, hot from the sun, and ready to fall asleep the moment you get into the car.(“最后几页是我最喜欢的。他们捕捉到了那种感觉，就像一天结束时在海滩上，天色渐暗，你感到筋疲力尽，”劳森说。这一定是一种普遍的童年感觉：在沙滩上感到快乐，在盐里感到粘，在太阳底下感到热，一上车就准备睡觉。)”可推知，在最后一段中，当Lawson向我们讲述最后几页时，他感觉很快乐，故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中““It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures. ( 劳森说:“不知何故，这似乎象征着生活不仅仅是建造完美的沙堡。”当他决定把那个阳光明媚的日子变成一本儿童读物时，他的想法变成了只用图片。)”和第三段中“A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng. It’s the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop. Leng’s illustrations stay pretty true to real life. Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying hat. “To me it’s a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life. These are the things I like to capture(捕捉),” said Leng.(《沙堡的一天》由Qin Leng绘制。这是继2021年的《超越商店》之后，Lawson和Leng第二本无字图画书。Leng的插图保持相当真实的现实生活。三个兄弟姐妹花了一整天的时间建造沙堡，看着它们被一个会飞的帽子摧毁。“对我来说，这是对童年和生活简单乐趣的庆祝。这些都是我喜欢捕捉的东西。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了两本描绘了童年在沙堡里度过的无字图画书，这两本书都描绘了童年的快乐，由此可知，A项“在沙堡里度过的童年”适合做文章标题，故选A。
(C)
Civilization began with agriculture, and though humanity has changed significantly, agriculture remains very important. In certain countries, its significance is more apparent, but the reality is that every country in the world depends on agriculture for one thing or another.
It provides employment. Whether it’s working as a farmer, a harvester, a technician for farm equipment or a scientist, there are plenty of jobs available in this field. In developing countries, agricultural jobs help reduce high rates of unemployment.
It’s crucial to a country’s development. Economic development is tied to a country’s agricultural sector. When trade, national avenue, and employment are combined in a positive way, a country enjoys reduced poverty and boosted economic growth. Because strong agriculture results in benefits fairly quickly, focusing on it is one of the best ways to speed up development and improve a country’s standing across the globe.
It drives innovation in technology. Because healthy agriculture is so essential to a country’s well-being, it’s been the setting of some of the most exciting innovations in technology. Through artificial intelligence, blockchain software, and more, scientists and farmers have been figuring out ways to increase crop productivity, use less water, and reduce negative impacts on the environment. For scientists and tech companies, agribusiness is one of the most fascinating and productive fields to work in.
It’s the source of our food supply. Arguably, the most important aspect of agriculture is that it’s the source of the world’s food supply. No matter where or what you are eating, the ingredients in your meals come from somewhere. All roads lead to agriculture. In countries dealing with food insecurity and severe malnutrition, their agricultural sectors are suffering. When agriculture thrives(蓬勃发展), fewer people go hungry.
It can help heal the environment. Agriculture possesses the power to cause harm or heal. When farmers prioritize biodiversity on their land, it benefits the earth. Having more biodiversity results in healthier soil, better water conservation, and healthier pollinators(传粉者).
All in all, agriculture plays a critical role in the entire life of a given economy. Agriculture culture is the backbone of the economic system of a given country.
8. What is the topic of the article?
A. Civilization. B. Agriculture. C. Economy. D. Environment.
9. What is expected to be achieved by using technology in agriculture?
A. Sustainable development. B. Sound economic systems.
C. Low unemployment rates. D. Worldwide food security.

(D)
A Norwegian company has created what it calls the world’s first zero-emission(排放), autonomous cargo ship(货船). Developed by chemical company Yara International, the ship was designed to reduce emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases, and move goods away from roads to the sea.
The shipping industry accounts for between 2.5% and 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Maritime Organization. Nearly all of Norway’s electricity is generated by hydroelectric power, which is generally considered to have much lower carbon emissions than burning fossil fuels, despite the fact that it still produces greenhouse gases.
Capable of carrying 103 containers and with a top speed of 13 knots, it will use a 7 MWh battery, with about a thousand times the capacity of one electrical car. The ship will be charged near the port before sailing to container harbors along the coast and then back again, replacing 40,000 truck journeys a year.
As well as providing a greener option compared to conventional cargo ships, there is no crewman, which means it will be more cost-effective to operate. Initially, loading and unloading the ship will require humans, but gradually, all loading, discharging, and some other operations will also be eventually operated using autonomous technology. That will involve developing autonomous cranes(起重机) and carriers, which are the vehicles that place containers onto ships.
According to researchers, fully autonomous ships are the future. But there are many challenges to overcome before autonomous ships can be used for commercial long sea journeys. Navigating traffic in large ports could be a major barrier.
Without a crew aboard to carry out maintenance checks, autonomous ships would need built-in self-diagnosing systems with the ability to detect and fix problems, or call for human assistance.
Although Yara International has no plans to add more autonomous ships to its operations, we may see more elements of AI technology used on commercial ships in the future. Elements are already being used in shipping today when it comes to the voyage and we’ll see more partly autonomous elements added.
12. What’s the good news about the new ship?
A. It’s conventionally designed. B. It has been fully marketed.
C. It’s environmentally friendly. D. It is luxuriously equipped.
13. What plays a critical role in the ship’s successful operation?
A. The autonomous carriers. B. The latest navigating traffic.
C. The burning of fossil fuels. D. The massive battery capacity.
14. What can we learn from paragraphs 4-6?
A. Researchers are pessimistic about its future.
B. The new ship isn’t completely autonomous yet.
C. A lot more such ships will be in operation soon.
D. No human labor is needed to maintain the ship.
15. What is the author’s attitude to technology being applied to shipping?
A. Favorable. B. Reserved. C. Suspicious. D. Disapproving.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了世界上第一艘零排放的自动货运船。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A Norwegian company has created what it calls the world’s first zero-emission, autonomous cargo ship. Developed by chemical company Yara International, the ship was designed to reduce emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases, and move goods away from roads to the sea.(一家挪威公司创造了世界上第一艘零排放的自动货运船。该船由化学公司雅拉国际(Yara International)开发，旨在减少污染物和温室气体的排放，并将货物从公路转移到海上)”可知，新船旨在减少污染物和温室气体的排放，是环保的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Capable of carrying 103 containers and with a top speed of 13 knots, it will use a 7 MWh battery, with about a thousand times the capacity of one electrical car.(它能够携带103个集装箱，最高航速为13节，将使用7兆瓦时的电池，容量约为一辆电动汽车的1000倍)”可推知，在这艘船的成功运作中，之所以是零排放，是因为采用的纯电力动力，所以巨大的电池容量起着至关重要的作用。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“As well as providing a greener option compared to conventional cargo ships, there is no crewman, which means it will be more cost-effective to operate. Initially, loading and unloading the ship will require humans, but gradually, all loading, discharging, and some other operations will also be eventually operated using autonomous technology.(与传统货船相比，它提供了一个更环保的选择，没有船员，这意味着它将更具成本效益。最初，船上的装卸将需要人工操作，但逐渐地，所有装卸和其他一些操作最终也将使用自主技术进行操作)”以及第五段“According to researchers, fully autonomous ships are the future. But there are many challenges to overcome before autonomous ships can be used for commercial long sea journeys.(根据研究人员的说法，完全自主的船只是未来。但在自动驾驶船舶用于商业长途海上旅行之前，还有许多挑战需要克服)”以及第六段“Without a crew aboard to carry out maintenance checks, autonomous ships would need built-in self-diagnosing systems with the ability to detect and fix problems, or call for human assistance.(在没有船员上船进行维护检查的情况下，自动驾驶船舶将需要内置的自我诊断系统，该系统具有检测和解决问题的能力，或者需要人工协助)”可知，从第4-6段我们可以学到这艘新船还不是完全自主的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although Yara International has no plans to add more autonomous ships to its operations, we may see more elements of AI technology used on commercial ships in the future. Elements are already being used in shipping today when it comes to the voyage and we’ll see more partly autonomous elements added.(虽然Yara International没有计划在其运营中增加更多的自动驾驶船舶，但我们可能会在未来看到更多的人工智能技术元素用于商业船舶。在今天的航行中，我们已经在航运中使用了一些元素，我们将看到更多的部分自主元素被添加进来)”可推知，作者对人工智能技术元素用于商业船舶的态度，是支持的。故选A项。

There is probably no better way to get some academic assistance than that from your fellow students.(同伴辅导是你大学期间最有用的工具之一。有时候，你不知道所有的答案，你可能需要帮助。也许没有比从你的同学那里获得一些学术帮助更好的方法了)”可知，此处是在讲述同伴辅导的好处，所以G项“Peer tutors are understanding, helpful, and especially honest enough to help you out.(同伴导师是理解的，乐于助人的，尤其是足够诚实地帮助你)”符合文意。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Tutors are being harsh with you not because they want to be mean and ruin your existence.(导师对你苛刻不是因为他们想要刻薄，毁掉你的生活)”根据文意，接下来空处应是和此句构成转折，讲述导师的目的，所以E项“They simply want you to be the best of the best to your best ability.(他们只是想让你成为最优秀的人中的最优秀的人)”符合文意。故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Expect change(期待改变)”可知，本段主题是改变，分析设空，位于段尾，应是本段的总结句，根据前文“If a tutor teaches you how to solve a math problem in a way that makes sense to you, but is also different from what you have learned in class, you will have to use that method because it works for you.(如果一个家庭教师教你如何用一种对你来说有意义的方式解决一个数学问题，但又不同于你在课堂上学到的，你就必须使用这种方法，因为它对你有用)”所以B项“Change is good and is nothing to be afraid of.(改变是好的，没有什么好害怕的)”符合本段主题，且是对前文的总结。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Expect discipline (sometimes)(期待纪律(有时))”可知，本段是讲述让导师监督自己，分析设空，位于本段段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“We are humans, it happens. It is nothing to be ashamed of. However, if a tutor notices that you have been slacking off, don’t be surprised if they call you out on it. Your tutor wants you to use your potential to do the great things that they know you are capable of.(我们是人，这是常有的事。这没什么好羞愧的。然而，如果一个导师注意到你一直在偷懒，如果他们把你叫出来，不要感到惊讶。你的导师希望你发挥你的潜能，去做他们知道你有能力做的伟大的事情)”可知，C项“Sometimes, we all try to get by with a little less.(有时候，我们都会尽量用更少的付出获得回报)”符合本段主题。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据本段小标题“Expect improvement(希望提高)”以及前文“Last but not least expect to improve.(最后但并非最不重要的一点是期望有所改善)”可知，本段是在讲述，辅导的目的是帮助自己进步，所以F项“Peer tutoring can be difficult, but its ultimate goal is for you to improve. (同伴辅导可能很难，但它的最终目标是让你提高)”符合本段主题，其中improve为同词复现。故选F项。

【答案】36 ranging
37. What 38. It
39. thinly 40. a
41. to be 42. is served
43. wonderful
44. got 45. treats
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以外国人的口吻来介绍中国的一种小吃——煎饼的制作过程。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国的时候，我有机会在许多不同的餐馆用餐，从大的、高档的到小的、为行人准备的。此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词restaurants，且动词range和restaurants是主动关系，应用现在分词形式，故填ranging。
【37题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：然而，我真正想念的是中国的街头小吃，这在加拿大是吃不到的。空处引导主语从句，从句缺少miss和get后面的宾语，表示“……的东西”，应用连接代词what来引导，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填What。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：它是在一个圆形的煎锅上制作的，上面倒入液态的面糊，面糊由一个看起来像木制橡胶刮板但没有橡胶边缘的工具薄薄地铺开。此处应用it代指上文提到的one of my favorite street dishes，作主语，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填It。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：它是在一个圆形的煎锅上制作的，上面倒入液态的面糊，面糊由一个看起来像木制橡胶刮板但没有橡胶边缘的工具薄薄地铺开。修饰动词spread应用副词thinly作状语，故填thinly。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：面糊形成一个直径约20厘米的圆圈，几乎马上就会熟，然后迅速翻转过来。此处表示“一个圆圈”应用不定冠词来修饰，且circle发音是以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a，故填a。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一个鸡蛋，有时是两个，将与切碎的洋葱和某种香料一起放在上面，然后像华夫饼的东西被放在上面。appear to do固定搭配，意为“似乎做”，故填to be。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：熟面糊的“外皮”包裹着类似“华夫饼”的东西，然后将整个东西对折起来，用纸包着端上来。此处在句中作谓语，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，主语it和动词serve是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is served。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：味道绝对好极了。此处应用形容词作表语，故填wonderful。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意：我们这里有街头小吃，通常都很好吃，但是没有人做我在中国吃到的东西，这里的餐馆也没有提供这种食物。“ I ______(get) in China”是省略关系代词引导的定语从句，修饰the things，所以空处在从句中作谓语，句子描述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，故填got。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意： 我想我再也不会有机会去中国旅行了，所以街头小吃只能留在我的记忆里。由are可知，可数名词treat(美味佳肴)应用复数形式，作主语。故填treats。

第二节：续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“What’s this — Ben is trying out for Mr. Zuckerman?”
My ears burned at hearing my name. It was Lindsey, the most popular eighth-grader, talking to her friend. I held my breath. She obviously had no clue that my locker was next to Mr. Steven’s room; where the tryout schedule for Charlotte’s Web was posted.
“What if he ruins the character? He’s never acted before,” Lindsey continued.
My stomach tightened. Lindsey was right. Who was I kidding? I’d never been in a play. So what if Mom told me I was a natural when I imitated (模仿) movie stars? Mothers always think you’re talented. At lunch I told Trevor, my best friend, that I’d changed my mind. I’d join the technical crew instead. That fit my quiet-kid image better anyway. Trevor shook his head, but he didn’t try to change my mind. I was starting to look forward to being on the tech crew.
The cast list (演员表) was finalized. Cindy, a seven-grader, got the part of Charlotte. Trevor was Templeton. And Lindsey was Mrs Zuckerman? And rehearsals (排演) started. I spent Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at school. It was fun to learn all the technical stuff. It was also fun to watch the actors from backstage by visualizing (想象) their moves. By the third week I’d memorized everyone’s lines (台词). My mind just does stuff like that.
And then, only a week before the performance, everything fell apart. The actor to play Mr. Zuckerman crashed his bike and broke his leg. Then his understudy (替补) came down with the flu. Things like this weren’t supposed to happen in real life.
Mr. Steven called the cast together. “We cannot get someone else ready by next week. We’ll have to postpone the play.” She frowned. “If the auditorium (礼堂) is booked for later, we may even have to cancel.”
Silence fell. Then I heard Trevor’s voice. “Ben can do it. He has known all the lines by heart.”
Mr. Steven stared at me. I nodded, taking a deep breath, and then spouted out (滔滔不绝地说出) Mr. Zuckerman’s longest speech.
Mr. Steven clapped. “All right, Ben, you’ve saved the show. Cast dismissed for today, but be here the rest of the week. We have a lot of work to do.”
Lindsey just looked at me, confused.
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。
Mr. Steven started us, but on stage I was rather nervous and awkward.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And then it was opening night.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Mr. Steven started us, but on stage I was rather nervous and awkward. I forgot lines partly and sometimes even completely. I tripped over my feet and knocked over some scenery. “Maybe we should postpone the show,” Lindsey sighed. I was ready to agree with her, but Mrs. Steven spoke first, “No, we have some time yet.” Back at home, I practised hard alone. I could spew my lines quickly and confidently. But when the entire cast watched me at rehearsal, I stumbled and stuttered. Laughter burst out. Lindsey grumbled. I did want to crawl into a hole. Mr. Steven told me to take deep breaths and visualize my moves. They did help. Suddenly and finally, I felt the way. And at dress rehearsal, difference was made. Mr. Steven clapped and Lindsey looked relieved.
And then it was opening night. Nervousness hit again. Before the play, I threw up. I waited backstage, my blood running cold. The lights came up. The audience clapped. My entrance came. I took a deep breath and walked on. I, visualizing my moves, calmly and naturally interacted with Lindsey. It seemed like just a minute later that the scene was over. I made it! I hadn’t missed a line or knocked over anything. When the play was over, someone poked me in the ribs and signaled to me to walk onstage. It was Trevor. Mr. Steven and all the actors were out. The audience roared. As we walked offstage, Mr. Steven gave me a thumbs up and Lindsey nudged me. “You turned out to be some actor,” she said. I grinned. Maybe next year I’ll try out for the lead.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事情发展的顺序为线索展开。讲述了作者本想参加学校组织的话剧表演，出演Mr. Zuckerman这一角色，但是在意外听到高年级的学生Lindsey说自己不适合出演时，决定放弃这个角色，加入技术团队。最终Mr. Zuckerman这一角色由七年级的学生Cindy出演。在排练期间，作者观看演员出演，并记住了每个人的台词。但是在表演开始前一周，Cindy出了事故，无法出演，于是Mr. Steven要作者出演，作者答应了。但是Lindsey却很困惑地看着作者。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“史蒂文先生让我们开始，但是在舞台上我有点紧张和尴尬。”可知，第一段可描写作者排练时出现的小故障，Lindsey和其他人对作者的看法，以及Steven老师对作者的鼓励使得作者找到表演的感觉。
②由第二段首句内容“然后就是首演之夜。”可知，第二段可描写表演时作者很紧张，但是努力克服，最终表演很成功，作者受到了Steven老师的赞扬。
2.续写线索：紧张——出故障——别人的看法——回家练习——仍会出故障——老师鼓励——情况好转——首演之夜——紧张——平静下来——表演成功——观众反应——老师表扬
3.词汇激活
行为类
①推迟：postpone/put off
②鼓掌：clap/applaud
③成功了：made it/succeeded
情绪类
①放心的： relieved/reassured
②紧张：nervousness/tension
