Before starting her own business in wedding dress design and production, Cao worked in the fashion design industry in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. In 2014, Cao attended a wedding ceremony in her hometown of Chenzhou, Hunan Province, and found the design of her friend's wedding dress was old-fashioned. "I think to wear beautiful and fashionable wedding dress is a dream for many women, and I want to bring what I've learned back to my hometown, ”Cao said. In 2018, she started to design and produce mini wedding dresses. It took Cao two or three days to make a mini wedding dress, and about three months to make a full-size one. Last year, she began to post videos of making mini dresses online. So far, Cao has made 200 mini wedding dresses. "Observation, thinking and imagination are the keys to designing dresses, " she said.
第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Newsweek has released a list of 100 famous spots in its latest issue and says all of them may not exist in the future because of various reasons.
Kauai, Hawaii, U. S.
Kauai is the oldest and fourth largest of Hawaiian Islands. Most of this island lies in the mist (雾 气) all year round. The thick forests are home to the colorful Hawaiian honeycreeper, an endangered bird species. Even the tiny fall or rise of the sea level will cause large changes on the island, which put the island’s ecosystem under severe stress.
Caribbean Sea
Four types of endangered sea turtles (龟) live here. The rising sea levels and the pollution of the oceans can destroy the beach, where the female sea turtles lay eggs. Unlike other animals, the sex of a sea turtle depends on the temperature at which the turtle hatches (孵化). The temperature for female sea turtles to hatch is above 31℃, and male below 27.7℃. Scientists worry the cut of male turtles can threaten the species’ survival.
Recife, Brazil
Recife in northeastern Brazil is a business center and also a great destination of tourists, who visit here for the sunny weather and white-sand beaches. Due to its nonstop coastal development, now Recife is highly weak to the threats of rising sea levels, hurricanes and storms. The reduce of coral reefs (珊瑚礁) also exposes the whole city to flooding.
Chicago, Illinois, U. S.
Since founded in the 1830s, the “Windy City” Chicago has become the center of transportation, industry, finance and entertainment in the Midwest of U.S. Nowadays, more than 2.6 million residents live in the modern area, making it the third most populous city in U.S. In the coming years, Chicago will suffer from gradual increase in heat waves and flooding.
21. What is the climate like on Kauai?
A. Sunny. B. Dry. C. Foggy. D. Changeable.
22. What can cause the unequal rate between male and female turtles?
A. The global warming.
B. The rising sea levels.
C. The gradual disappearance of their habitats.
D. The female sea turtles stopping laying eggs.
23. What do the four places have in common?
A. They are home to honeycreepers.
B. They are endangered coastal areas.
C. They are faced with overpopulation.
D. They are free from human activities.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章列举了四个著名景点的名单，并表示由于各种原因，这些景点未来可能都不复存在。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Kauai is the oldest and fourth largest of Hawaiian Islands. Most of this island lies in the mist (雾气) all year round.(考艾岛是夏威夷群岛中最古老、面积第四大的岛屿。这个岛的大部分地区终年笼罩在雾中)”可知，Kauai气候特点是多雾。故选C。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Four types of endangered sea turtles (龟) live here. The rising sea levels and the pollution of the oceans can destroy the beach, where the female sea turtles lay eggs.(这里生活着四种濒临灭绝的海龟。海平面上升和海洋污染会破坏海滩，而海滩是雌海龟产卵的地方)”以及“The temperature for female sea turtles to hatch is above 31℃, and male below 27.7℃.(雌海龟的孵化温度在31℃以上，雄海龟在27.7℃以下”可知，海平面的上升及海洋污染会破坏海滩，而雌雄海龟会的孵化温度不同。由此推知，全球变暖导致气温变化，进而影响海龟的产卵率。故选A。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Even the tiny fall or rise of the sea level will cause large changes on the island, which put the island’s ecosystem under severe stress.(即使是海平面的微小下降或上升也会引起岛上的巨大变化，这将使岛上的生态系统面临严重压力)”，第三段“Scientists worry the cut of male turtles can threaten the species’ survival.(科学家担心雄性海龟的死亡会威胁到这个物种的生存)”，第四段“The reduce of coral reefs (珊瑚礁) also exposes the whole city to flooding.(珊瑚礁的减少也使整个城市暴露在洪水之中)”以及第五段“In the coming years, Chicago will suffer from gradual increase in heat waves and flooding.(在未来几年，芝加哥将遭受逐渐增加的热浪和洪水)”可知，这些景点均在沿海地区，且因各种原因而濒临灭绝。故选B。
B
Change is as good as a rest, as the old saying goes. Lucy Kellaway took this to extremes when she left to train as a teacher in her nearly sixth decade, after about 30 years working as a journalist.
Doing the same thing in the three decades was simply too long for her, according to Lucy. “I was no longer interested in my job and wanted to do something more useful and purposeful with my life, ”Lucy explains. “I was then aged fifty-seven and had spent almost my whole adult life doing one thing. ”
Lucy tried ringing the government’s helpline and discovered there was no maximum age restraint to train as a teacher. Then she met Katie Waldegrave, a social entrepreneur turned teacher, at a party. ”We met the following morning and talked and talked. We concluded that young graduates had long been the obvious recruiting (征募) into the profession. A new model for entering teaching was needed for career changers. By the time I left that conversation, Now Teach had probably been born, a professional online teacher training program for career-changers in teaching. ”
So successful was the program that it attracted the support of the Department for Education. Further state funding has seen the program rolled out across the country. “We’re delighted by its success. The best aspect of my job that the program brings me is that it makes me optimistic about the future and sometimes makes me feel I’m making a big difference to their lives. ”Lucy goes on, “We have helped 650 people with all sorts of backgrounds to bring their various experiences to secondary schools. ”
For anyone interested in teaching, Lucy tells them to experience school life first. “Go and visit two schools. Spend quality time in the classrooms of the subjects you think you may teach and find out if it seems right for you. You may not get it right at first. ”While Lucy loved her new career, she found teaching maths wasn’t her true calling, so she swapped to teaching economics instead.
24. Why did Lucy want to change her job?
A. She failed to get well-paid.
B. She was bored with the job.
C. She wanted to have a rest for a while.
D. She couldn’t balance her life and work.
25. What does the underlined word ”restraint“ in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Limit. B. Concern. C. Difference. D. Advantage.
26. How does Lucy feel about Now Teach?
A. Challenging. B. Disappointing. C. Worrying, D. Meaningful.
27. What did Lucy want to do in the last paragraph?
A. Introduce how to get a degree certificate for teaching.
B. Share her personal experience of applying for a teacher.
C. Offer suggestions to those considering being a teacher.
D. Explain the reasons why she wanted to become a teacher.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Doing the same thing in the three decades was simply too long for her, according to Lucy. “I was no longer interested in my job and wanted to do something more useful and purposeful with my life, ”Lucy explains.”（露西说，在30年里做同样的事情对她来说太长了。露西解释说：“我对自己的工作不再感兴趣，我想做一些更有用、更有意义的事情。”）可知，露西想换工作是因为她对这份工作感到厌烦。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“I was then aged fifty-seven and had spent almost my whole adult life doing one thing.”（那时我57岁，几乎整个成年生活都在做一件事。）以及划线单词句中“and discovered there was no maximum age…”（发现没有最高年龄……）可推知，此处为露西试着拨打政府的帮助热线，发现培训教师没有最高年龄限制。故可猜测，划线单词restraint为“限制”的意思，结合选项A项Limit“限制”意思一致。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““We’re delighted by its success. The best aspect of my job that the program brings me is that it makes me optimistic about the future and sometimes makes me feel I’m making a big difference to their lives. ” Lucy goes on, “We have helped 650 people with all sorts of backgrounds to bring their various experiences to secondary schools. ””（“我们为它的成功感到高兴。这个项目给我的工作带来的最好的方面是，它让我对未来感到乐观，有时让我觉得我对他们的生活产生了很大的影响。”露西继续说道：“我们已经帮助了650名不同背景的人把他们不同的经历带到中学。”）可推知，露西对Now Teach这个项目的看法是认为 它是非常有意义的。故选D项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For anyone interested in teaching, Lucy tells them to experience school life first. “Go and visit two schools.

C
Objects in the night sky are disappearing from view because of light pollution, according to a new study. Outdoor lighting from street lamps, office buildings and vehicle headlights leads to sky less bright, which is when the night sky gets brighter. The brighter it is at night, the harder it is to see stars and planets from Earth.
Christopher Kyba, an astronomer with the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, led his team studying over 50, 000 star observations between 2011 and 2022. “If the brightening of the night sky continues at the current rate,” Kyba said, “a child born in a place where 250 stars are visible will only be able to see 100 stars by the time he or she turned 18.”
The issue is global but particularly common in North America, where 80% of people cannot see the Milky Way galaxy (银河系). This huge group of billions of stars should look like a wide strip of light in the dark night sky. However, only very remote places, such as the Sahara Desert and the Amazon Rain Forest, have a truly dark night sky.
Light pollution makes it harder for astronomers to study stars and planets. It also causes problems for animals. Animals active at night like bats become confused and crash into objects. Turtles that hatch (孵化)at night need moonlight to find the sea, but artificial lights can confuse them and make them head inland instead. Birds in cities often wake up and start singing earlier than they should. Human lights also cause themselves to produce less of a chemical called melatonin(褪黑激素). This can lead to sleep problems, headaches, tiredness, and mood issues.
To help, scientists want to raise awareness of light pollution. They suggest that people use outdoor lighting that causes less light pollution, such as motion-sensitive lights that switch on only when they’re needed.
28. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A. By giving examples.
B. By offering evidence.
C. By making comparison.
D. By bringing up the issue.
29. What can be inferred from Kyba’s words?
A. Light pollution is becoming serious.
B. Adults are easier to see stars than kids.
C. Stars are becoming fewer year by year.
D. Kids are losing interest in watching stars.
30. What effect may light pollution cause?
A. Turtles are forced to hatch at sea.
B. Humans produce more melatonin.
C. Bats can get lost during the flight.
D. Birds in cities wake up much later.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Origin of Light Pollution
B. Light Is Making Stars Unobserved
C. Ways to Deal with Light Pollution
D. Light Causes Human Sleep Issues
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了灯光让人们看不见天上的星星。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Objects in the night sky are disappearing from view because of light pollution, according to a new study. Outdoor lighting from street lamps, office buildings and vehicle headlights leads to sky less bright, which is when the night sky gets brighter. The brighter it is at night, the harder it is to see stars and planets from Earth.(根据一项新的研究，由于光污染，夜空中的物体正在从视野中消失。街灯、办公楼和汽车前灯的室外照明会使天空变得不那么明亮，这时夜晚的天空变得更加明亮。夜晚的光线越亮，就越难从地球上看到星星和行星。)”可推知，作者通过提出问题——光污染来引出文章主题——灯光让人们看不见星星。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Kyba所说的话““If the brightening of the night sky continues at the current rate,” Kyba said, “a child born in a place where 250 stars are visible will only be able to see 100 stars by the time he or she turned 18.”(“如果夜空继续以目前的速度变亮，”Kyba 说，“一个出生在能看到250颗星星的地方的孩子，到18岁时只能看到100颗星星。”)”可推知，光污染日益严重。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Light pollution makes it harder for astronomers to study stars and planets. It also causes problems for animals. Animals active at night like bats become confused and crash into objects.(光污染使天文学家更难研究恒星和行星。它也会给动物带来麻烦。像蝙蝠一样在夜间活动的动物会感到困惑并撞向物体。)”可知，光污染或许使蝙蝠在飞行中可能会迷路。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“The brighter it is at night, the harder it is to see stars and planets from Earth.(夜晚的光线越亮，就越难从地球上看到星星和行星。)”和第二段中“Christopher Kyba, an astronomer with the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, led his team studying over 50, 000 star observations between 2011 and 2022.(GFZ 德国地球科学研究中心的天文学家克里斯托弗·凯巴（Christopher Kyba）带领他的团队在2011年至2022年间研究了5万多个恒星观测数据。)”以及第三段中“The issue is global but particularly common in North America, where 80% of people cannot see the Milky Way galaxy (银河系).(这个问题是全球性的，但在北美尤其普遍，那里80% 的人看不到银河系。)”可知，文章主要介绍了灯光让人们看不见星星，B项“光让星星变得不可观测”适合做文章标题，故选B。

Staying in hospital can be difficult for patients, often causing fear and anxiety, especially in younger individuals. These emotions can easily take over, but hospitals in Richmond, Virginia, have programs to relieve some of the stress and create moments of joy.
Due to a program called Dogs On Call provided by the non-profit organization Center for Human-Animal Interaction, at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, the sound of dogs coming down the hallway creates an atmosphere of excitement among child patients. For 21 years, the volunteer-run program has been connecting dogs with those in need of an inspiring moment.
With the necessary registration steps, dogs and handlers can participate in weekly visits to the hospital. Besides the scheduled visits, parents or children can request a specific team to visit their rooms.
“When a patient interacts with a dog, it can decrease blood pressure and reduce pain,” says Nancy R. Gee, executive director of the center. Their faces change just for a moment. They’re not thinking about their health situation or their pain. Just for that moment, they’re just kids with a dog.
Instead of Dogs On Call, Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital of Richmond provides Happy Wheels, a program in which a cart full of treats and other items rolling through the halls of the hospital. The volunteer-run program visits four times a week. They go from room to room to hand out toys, coffee, snacks, and other comfort items. All of the items found in the cart are donated to the program and handed out to families in all children’s care units.
“It’s an opportunity for the children to be children and to get excited about a new toy coming in their rooms, ”says Laura Gepford, child life specialist at St. Mary’s Hospital. “Besides the fevers, the medicine and all the difficult things that occur in the hospital, they have the shining of happy moments. That’s what people hold onto. ”
32. What do we know about the program Dogs On Call?
A. Dogs might frighten the child patients.
B. Dog visits must follow a fixed schedule.
C. It gives mental treatment to the child patients.
D. It is financially supported by the government.
33. What does Nancy R Gee mean in paragraph 4?
A. Children care for dogs by nature.
B. Children’s moods are changeable.
C. Children are too young to take their illness seriously.
D. Children’s spirits are lifted by the dogs’ companion.
34. What is Laura Gepford’s attitude to the Happy Wheels program?
A. Concerned. B. Appreciative. C. Dissatisfied. D. Doubtful.
35. How do the two programs in the text help?
A. By bringing patients comfort and cheer.
B. By changing people’s attitude to illness.
C. By telling people the importance of play.
D. By guiding parents to better comfort kids.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】

Daniel got a job as a delivery man to work his way through college. His parents couldn’t save up all the money he needed to get into law school, so since he was 16, he has been taking summer jobs to earn extra money.
The boy usually wakes up at 5 am in summer or winter, riding his rusty (生锈的)old bike delivering packages. It isn’t an easy job, especially during winter. Besides that, his old bike is slow, making things harder. But that isn’t a problem for Daniel. ”Come on, boy! We can do this, “he says to himself.
Daniel’s route is always the same and people in the neighborhood have already known him. He calls them by their names, and they often wave and greet him as he passes.
One day, Daniel came to McReynolds’ house. He parked his bike at the doorstep. He rang the doorbell but no one answered. He tried again, still no answer. Then he left the parcel at the doorstep.
As Daniel jumped back on his bike, he noticed his bike broken down. ”Bad luck!“But as he turned around, he saw a strange man secretly looked around and placed a package under his jacket. Daniel shouted at the man, ”Hey there! What are you doing? That’s not yours!“
The man saw Daniel and started to run. Daniel looked at his broken bike helplessly and ran fast after the man, shouting, ”Stop!Thief!“When the man saw that Daniel was gaining on him, he threw the package at him. Daniel caught it, but he didn’t give up the chase. Then the man tripped over a stone and fell on the floor. Daniel came a few seconds later and got him.
The ruckus (喧闹) alarmed all the neighbors. Then the police were called. McReynolds came out from the house, ”I couldn’t get the door when you rang because I was taking a shower. Thank you for stopping him!“ Daniel smiled back at her and was turning around to leave.

Minutes later, McReynolds returned, with a beautiful blue bike. She said to Daniel, “I bought this bike but I have never used it. I have been considering giving it to someone who is in need. Now I want you to have it, please!" Daniel was shocked, in disbelief. Daniel appreciated her generosity and kindness with tears in his eyes. He touched the bike, admiring its beauty, and it was light, too. With the incredible bike, now the boy can deliver his packages more effectively and still have some time left for his studies.
