Into the Night
The lights from the cottage windows disappear, as we follow a dark footpath through a field into the open countryside. Thick clouds prevent the moonlight from lighting up the way ahead. Yet, as my eyes begin to get used to the darkness, the landscape around me reveals itself in a new light.
Mount Caburn, an iron-age hill fort (堡垒), looks like shadows against the sky. On the horizon is a tree bent by the wind. The rocky outcrop (露出的部分) at the top of the field turns out to be a flock of sleeping sheep. A fox cries, a pheasant crows, and the air is full of a strong earthy scent.
“For most of human history, man lived in close contact with the land,” says Nigel Berman, my guide. “Only in the past few hundred years have we shut ourselves off from our natural surroundings. Walking at night is a powerful way of reconnecting. When your vision is reduced, your other senses are sharpened.”
Nigel and I walk from the village of Glynde across the South Downs towards the town of Lewes. It is a walk I know well by day, but at night everything is different, and a familiar wander becomes a mini adventure. When Nigel told me not to bring a torch, I was alarmed. I can’t remember the last time I used my night vision and I’m not even sure how it works.
Normally, at this time of night, I would be having a glass of wine in front of the television, but being out in the countryside is a purer form of relaxation. I forget about work and family tensions, and begin to blend into the surroundings. There is no one other than Nigel to see or hear me and, with little visual distraction, my mind calms. I am aware of the breeze on my face, the rustle (沙沙声) of leaves, and as I watch the clouds slowly changing color against the sky like a natural sound and light show, it feels fascinating.
Having got used to the dark, we continue walking and the path that leads up the escarpment (峭壁) of Saxon Down now appears to almost shine in front of us. We climb carefully, feeling our way on the uneven ground. Walking at night is not without risk, but with knowledge and preparation it opens up a new side to walking.
As we reach the top, Lewes appears below as a twinkly mass of lights, a sight I would generally consider as inviting. In just a few hours, however, I find myself unwilling to walk back down. Walking at night is like discovering a new world on your doorstep. As Henry David Thoreau wrote in Night and Moonlight: “Night is certainly more novel and less profane (世俗的) than day.”
41.According to Nigel Berman, why is walking at night significant?
A.It helps people appreciate natural surroundings.
B.It is a way to take risks and explore new places.
C.It improves our vision and sharpens other senses.
D.It makes us avoid distractions from work and family.42.Why did the author feel alarmed when Nigel told them not to bring a torch?
A.He was afraid of getting lost in the dark.
B.He hardly had any trust in Nigel as a guide.
C.He didn’t know how to use his night vision.
D.He worried about the way on uneven ground.43.The night walk brought the following benefits to the author except ________.
A.a reconnection with nature
B.a chance of abandoning wine
C.an escape from daily tensions
D.an approach to getting relaxed44.What can we learn about the author from the article?
A.He had gone for a walk on his own at night before.
B.He intentionally picked a cloudy night for his walk.
C.He enjoyed the feeling after reaching the top of the mountain.
D.He badly wanted to go home to have a glass of wine after the walk.45.What is the article mainly about?
A.Describing his night hike through the countryside.
B.Contrasting the experience of day and night walking.
C.Encouraging readers to go on a night walk themselves.
D.Exploring the history of human connection with nature.
In 2016, the world’s population cast aside 49 million tons of electronic waste, known as e-waste. It has been calculated that this number will grow to more than 60 million tons by 2021.
What is causing the upsurge (激增) in e-waste? Technology is becoming more and more widespread, covering almost every aspect of our lives. Meanwhile, the lifespan of devices is getting shorter—many products will be thrown away once their batteries die, to be replaced by new devices. Companies intentionally plan the obsolescence (过时) of their goods by updating the design or software and discontinuing support for older models, so that now it is usually cheaper and easier to buy a new product than to repair an old one. Since prices are falling, electronic devices are in demand around the world.
As more people buy electronic equipment, manufacturers (制造商) are beginning to face shortages of the raw materials needed to make their products, so recycling and reusing materials from discarded (扔掉的) products and waste makes economic and environmental sense.
Recycling e-waste is practiced both formally and informally. Proper or formal e-waste recycling usually involves taking apart the electronics, separating and sorting through the materials and cleaning them. Companies must obey health and safety rules to reduce the health and environmental hazards of handling e-waste by using pollution-control technologies. All this makes formal recycling expensive. Informal recycling is typically unlicensed and uncontrolled. At informal recycling workshops, men and women recover valuable materials by burning devices to melt away non-valuable materials. Usually they do not wear protective equipment and lack any awareness that they are handling dangerous materials.
With the amount of e-waste growing around the world, recycling alone will not be enough to solve the problem. In order to reduce e-waste, manufacturers need to design electronics that are safer, and more durable, repairable and recyclable. The best thing you can do is resist buying a new device until you really need it. Try to get your old product repaired if possible and, if it can’t be fixed, resell or recycle it responsibly. Before you recycle your device, put any broken parts in separate containers and close these tightly to prevent chemicals from leaking. Wear latex gloves and a mask if you’re handling something that’s broken.
46.Which of the following is a reason for e-waste’s sharp increasing?
A.The falling of devices’ quality. B.The results of updating devices.
C.The methods of recycling e-waste. D.The shortage of protective equipment.47.What makes recycling e-waste meaningful according to the text?
A.Increasing the variety of electronic products. B.Lowering the costs of technology innovation.
C.Relieving the lack of the raw materials. D.Improving the poor quality of e-devices.48.What is the meaning of the underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 4?
A.Influence. B.Harm. C.Limits. D.Costs.49.What can we know about informal recycling workshops from paragraph 4?
A.They are blamed for shortening the lifespan of devices.
B.Their ways of reusing waste are sometimes encouraged.
C.They aim to discover rare materials from waste for new products.
D.Their workers are unaware of the danger from dealing with devices.50.What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.Everyone should take action to reduce e-waste.
B.Companies should be mainly responsible for reducing e-waste.
C.Fixing a device could cause more pollution than buying a new one.
D.E-waste could be broken down by burying it underground for a long time.
Machines work well at a constant speed—and the faster the better. They are designed and built for it. Whether they are spinning cotton or dealing with numbers, regular, repetitive actions are what they excel at.
Increasingly, our world is being designed by machines, for machines. We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards: People are judged by the speed with which they respond, not the quality of their response. Such ideas are being woven into our culture. “Always on” becomes something to boast of, or aspire to.
Most of us are busy most of the time, if not with work then with family, domestic tasks or our social networks—real and virtual. When I ask people how they are doing, they almost always answer “busy”. Ticking things off the “to do” list becomes a means of defining ourselves.
A few years ago, I became very interested in what it means to pause. I started to notice where pauses show up in my own work and life. For example, I realized that when I was writing, a short walk was a more effective way to break a creative block than concentrating harder.
I realized that a pause is not nothing. It acts as a kind of switch or opening. As Helene Simonsen, a classical musician, says, “Whatever you are doing, if you want something else to happen, you need to pause.” It is not a fixed unit of time. It might be taking a moment before you enter a room, but it could also be a “screen-free Saturday”, a “Think Week” every two years (which works for Bill Gates) or a year-long vacation. However fast you are moving, there is always the chance to pause—to rest, reflect or refresh of course, but also to appreciate, get perspective, connect to others, or have new ideas.
There is more to life than getting things done. Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a uniform raw material—as the physics of Einstein shows. Try to let go of the idea that time is linear (直线型), regular and objective, and think of it in the same way we experience it. Instead of setting work and life against each other, use pauses to leaven (为增色) your experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): you don’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient.
I want to give pauses more visibility, importance and status. My hope is that each of us can use pauses, great and small, to avoid sliding into a mode where we act like poorly performing machines.
51.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.The widespread use of machines has destroyed our life.
B.People have become quite obsessed with response speed.
C.People always get pleasure from competing with machines.
D.It’s difficult for people to adapt to a highly mechanized life.52.The underlined phrase “Ticking things off the ‘to do’ list” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.learning to slow down
B.concentrating on one thing
C.selecting what we should do
D.getting things done one by one53.According to the author, how does taking a pause benefit us in a busy life?
A.It makes your life dynamic and delightful.
B.It improves our working efficiency greatly.
C.It helps develop interpersonal connections.
D.It enables people to do what they want to do.54.Which of the following statements best sums up the author’s understanding of time?
A.Time can never get returned.
B.Time exists in the form of lines.
C.Time is precious that we all need to cherish.
D.Time is what everyone experiences uniquely.55.What message does the author want to convey about “pauses” at the end of the passage?
A.They are useless if taken for short periods of time.
B.They are for those who have too much spare time.
C.They play a vital role in our well-being and creativity.
D.They bring harm to our ability to perform efficiently.
四、阅读表达
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When Brantley Harrison and her family rescued a tiny, injured squirrel back, then released her back into the wild, they didn’t expect to ever see her again. Nine years later, however, little Bella, they called the squirrel Bella, still comes to visit them almost every day—as long as snacks are provided, of course.
As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe. Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her adopted home, though, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, despite how much time has passed.
“Bella sits right at the front door waiting for someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one notices her, she will jump over to the dining room window to wait for someone to see her,” Brantley told The Dodo. The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life. Whenever she stops by, she asks for nothing more than a handful of nuts.
What is the most amazing part? A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering. “It was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Brantley said. Bella now even has her own Instagram page, where her human family documents her adventures, with almost 4 thousand followers!

38.细节理解题。根据Sri Lanka部分中“This unique and fascinating project offers an opportunity to learn about Sri Lankan construction using traditional manual methods, without using modern machines.”(这个独特而迷人的项目提供了一个机会来了解斯里兰卡的建筑,使用传统的手工方法,而不使用现代机器。)可知,斯里兰卡的寺庙修复工作使用传统手工方法。由此推知,这会需要双手和力量。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在黑暗的夜晚来到乡下进行亲近自然的探索之旅,并介绍了亲近自然给自己带来的好处,进而倡导人们要走近自然,体验自然。
41.细节理解题。根据第三段中Nigel Berman所说的话“Only in the past few hundred years have we shut ourselves off from our natural surroundings. Walking at night is a powerful way of reconnecting(只有在过去的几百年里,我们才把自己与自然环境隔绝开来。晚上散步是重新建立联系的有力方式)”可知,Nigel Berman认为在晚上散步能帮助人们欣赏自然环境。故选A。
42.细节理解题。根据第四段中“When Nigel told me not to bring a torch, I was alarmed. I can’t remember the last time I used my night vision and I’m not even sure how it works.(当Nigel 告诉我不要带火把时,我吓了一跳。我都不记得上次用夜视力是什么时候了,我都不知道它是怎么工作的。)”可知,当Nigel告诉他们不要带火把时,作者感到惊慌,是因为他不知道怎么用夜视力。故选C。
43.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Normally, at this time of night, I would be having a glass of wine in front of the television, but being out in the countryside is a purer form of relaxation.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了导致电子垃圾的激增的原因和回收电子垃圾的方式,作者呼吁:每个人都应该为电子垃圾的处理贡献一份力。
46.细节理解题。根据第一段“Meanwhile, the lifespan of devices is getting shorter-many products will be thrown away once their batteries die, to be replaced by new devices. Companies intentionally plan the obsolescence (过时) of their goods by updating the design or software and discontinuing support for older models, so that now it is usually cheaper and easier to buy a new product than to repair an old one.(与此同时,设备的寿命也越来越短——许多产品一旦电池耗尽就会被扔掉,被新的设备取代。公司通过更新设计或软件,停止对旧机型的支持,有意识地规划商品的淘汰,这样现在购买新产品通常比修理旧产品更便宜、更容易)”可知,电子垃圾激增是由设备更新导致的。故选B。
47.细节理解题。根据第三段“As more people buy electronic equipment,manufacturers are beginning to face shortages of the raw materials needed to make their products, so recycling and reusing materials from discarded products and waste makes economic and environmental sense.(随着越来越多的人购买电子设备,制造商开始面临生产产品所需的原材料短缺,因此从废弃产品和废物中回收和再利用材料具有经济和环境意义)”可知,为减轻生产原材料短缺的压力,回收和再利用变得有意义。故选C。
48.词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Companies must obey health and safety rules to reduce the health and environmental hazards of handling e-waste by using pollution-control technologies.(公司必须遵守健康和安全规则,通过使用污染控制技术来减少处理电子垃圾对健康和环境的hazards)”可知,公司通过污染控制技术以减少电子垃圾带来的危害,即划线词意为“危害”,与harm同义。故选B。
49.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Usually they do not wear protective equipment and lack any awareness that they are handling dangerous materials.(通常他们不穿防护装备,也不知道自己在处理危险材料)”可知,非正式回收的人员一般不知道处理电子垃圾的危害。故选D。
50.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In order to reduce e-waste, manufacturers need to design electronics that are safer, and more durable, repairable and recyclable. The best thing you can do is resist buying a new device until you really need it.(为了减少电子垃圾,制造商需要设计出更安全、更耐用、更可修复、更可回收的电子产品。你能做的最好的事情就是在你真的需要的时候再买一个新设备)”可推断,作者在最后一段说明了不管是制造商还是使用者都需要对电子垃圾的处理作出行动。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述的是在这个人人都忙的社会适时按下暂停键,可以避免陷入一种我们就像表现不佳的机器一样的模式。
51.推理判断题。根据首段中的“Machines work well at a constant speed—and the faster the better.(机器以恒定的速度运转良好——而且越快越好)”以及第二段中的“We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards: People are judged by the speed with which they respond, not the quality of their response.(我们适应机器,按照机器的标准来要求自己:人们的评判标准是反应的速度,而不是反应的质量。)”可知,我们人类像机器一样,判断标准是反映的速度而不是质量,由此可知,人们痴迷于反应速度。故选B项。
52.词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Most of us are busy most of the time, if not with work then with family, domestic tasks or our social networks—real and virtual. When I ask people how they are doing, they almost always answer “busy”.(我们大多数人大部分时间都很忙,如果不是忙于工作,那么就是忙于家庭、家务或我们的社交网络——不管是真实的还是虚拟的。当我问人们近况如何时,他们几乎总是回答“很忙”。)”可知,大多数人大部分时间都是很忙,忙工作、忙家务,各种忙,由此可知,本段讲述的内容与“忙”相关,所以划线短语所在的句子所描述的内容应与本段主题“忙”相关,结合选项,“一个接一个地做事情”与本段的主题吻合。故选D项。
53.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“However fast you are moving, there is always the chance to pause—to rest, reflect or refresh of course, but also to appreciate, get perspective, connect to others, or have new ideas.(无论你走得有多快,总有机会停下来休息、反思或刷新,但也要欣赏、获得视角、与他人联系或有新的想法。)”可知,在忙碌的时候,按下暂停键,可以让我们得到休息,重新振奋精神,去欣赏,从不同角度获得新的见解或不同的想法,由此推断,在忙碌的生活中按下暂停键会让生活充满活力和快乐。故选A项。
54.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a uniform raw material—as the physics of Einstein shows. Try to let go of the idea that time is linear (直线型), regular and objective, and think of it in the same way we experience it.(我们所经历的时间变化很大。一分钟吃冰淇淋和一分钟做俯卧撑是不一样的。甚至时间本身也不是一种统一的原材料——正如爱因斯坦的物理学所表明的那样。试着放弃时间是线性的、有规律的和客观的想法,以我们经历它的方式来思考它。)”可知,我们所经历的时间大不相同,时间本身也不是统一的原材料,作者建议放弃时间是线性的观点,用我们自己体验它的方式来思考它,由此可推断,作者认为时间是每个人独特的体验。故选D项。
55.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I want to give pauses more visibility, importance and status. My hope is that each of us can use pauses, great and small, to avoid sliding into a mode where we act like poorly performing machines.(我想赋予停顿更多的可见度、重要性和地位。我的希望是,我们每个人都能利用或大或小的停顿,避免陷入一种像表现不佳的机器一样的模式。)”可知,作者希望人们不会像机器一样,做着有规律地重复动作,我们应该利用好大大小小的暂停,结合倒数第二段中的“Instead of setting work and life against each other, use pauses to leaven (为增色) your experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): you don’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient.(不要把工作和生活对立起来,要利用停顿来丰富你的经历。暂停就像酵母:你不需要太多,但它是至关重要的成分。)”可知,我们不是把工作与生活对立起来,而是使用暂停让生活充满色彩,暂停像酵母一样,不需要很多,但是很重要,由此可推断,暂停在对我们的幸福和创造力起着至关重要的作用。故选C项。
56.It/she was saved/rescued by the Harrisons/family. 57.They fed it/her on regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food.
OR: They provided it/her with a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food.

【导语】本文为记叙文。本文叙述了人类与动物之间美好而感人的友谊。一只可爱的小松鼠贝拉被布兰特利•哈里森和她的家人救了,伤愈后放归野外,却不愿与救她的家庭分开。9年后,松鼠贝拉仍然几乎每天都来看望他们,哈里森一家还在网上记录了小松鼠的冒险经历。
56.考查细节理解。根据第二段“As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe.(小时候,一只猫头鹰的可怕袭击使贝拉濒临死亡,她被南卡罗来纳州格林维尔县的一户人家精心收养,和另外三只松鼠——拉里、科利和莫伊——一起抚养长大)”可知,小贝拉被猫头鹰弄伤后它(她)被哈里森一家救了。故答案为It/she was saved/rescued by the Harrisons/family.
57.考查细节理解。根据第二段“Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest.(贝拉一直和哈里森一家待在一起,直到她通过定期进食水果、坚果和婴儿食品成功康复,并准备在森林里的树上跳来跳去)”可知,哈里森一家用水果、坚果和婴儿食品喂养它/她。故答案为They fed it/her on regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: They provided it/her with a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: By giving/offering it/her a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food.
58.考查词句猜测。根据第一段“2010年10月,布兰特利·哈里森和她的家人救了(rescued)一只受伤的小松鼠,然后把她放归野外。然而,9年后,他们叫小贝拉的松鼠仍然几乎每天都来看望他们。”可知,小松鼠常来看望救她的家庭。因此“The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life.”可知,她还没准备好和救她的家庭分开。由此可判断出“succored”意为“saved/rescued”。
59.考查细节理解。根据最后一段“A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering.(贝拉最初住在哈里森家几年后,她带着一只受伤的脚和一肚子的孩子回到了他们身边,又花了几个月的时间恢复)”可知,一只脚受伤了,怀孕让贝拉在最初的几年后又回到了哈里森家。故答案为An injured foot and a belly full of babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and coming babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and the babies in her belly. OR: That it was pregnant/had babies on the way and injured (in the foot).
60.考查开放题。根据“贝拉的故事对你有什么启发?请用你自己的话解释。”可回答,我将尽我所能保护动物,并与它们和谐相处。故答案为I will do whatever I can to protect animals and live with them in harmony.
61.范文
As a student from Tianjin High School, I strongly believe that true beauty lies in more than just one’s physical appearance. True beauty goes beyond skin deep, encompassing an individual’s character, inner traits, and the way they treat others.
In my opinion, true beauty is reflected in a person’s kindness, empathy, and compassion toward others. People who possess these qualities are beautiful because they radiate positive energy and encourage others to be better versions of themselves. Therefore, true beauty is not limited to one’s outward appearance, but consists of the positive impact that one leaves on others.
I urge my fellow students to strive for true beauty by cultivating inner qualities and treating others with kindness and respect. A beautiful heart will never grow old or fade away, and it will inspire those around us to do the same. So let us focus on becoming people of true beauty, rather than just chasing after fleeting physical appearances.
