Also, autumn is the time for harvesting. So, you can make use of pumpkins, corn, and other vegetables as decorations. Most importantly, remember the turkey! Turkey’s pictures, statues, and feathers are a must.
A classic homemade Thanksgiving decoration is a hand turkey. They are very simple to make. First, shape your hand on a white piece of paper. Second, color the four fingers so that they look like feathers. Remember to use lots of colors. Third, make an eye on the thumb and color the body brown. Then, cut out your turkey. Use orange colored paper to make legs and a bird’s mouth. Glue the legs onto the bottom of your hand turkey. Last, glue the bird’s mouth onto the thumb to complete your turkey’s face. You’re done!
When you make homemade decorations, be creative. You can reuse the most beautiful ones each year. This is not only fun but also a great activity to do with friends and family.

On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.
When I first signed them up for forest school program, I loved the idea, but as a mum, I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly, they stared at me in confusion. They didn’t understand my question, which fittingly removed it.
In this program, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to self- adjust. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
“What about all the things they’re missing in real school?”concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close-a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.
I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.
24. How did the author feel about kids’ reaction to her questions?
A. Relieved. B. Concerned. C. Awkward. D. Proud.
25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The concerns caused by the program. B. The skills acquired by children.
C. The benefits gained from role plays. D. The games loved by teachers.
26. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Nature: a wonderland for the young B. Forest school: a fine place for my kids
C. Parks are replacing traditional schools D. Forest school program proves a hit
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍了作者送孩子在一所认证的森林学校度过一整天，在那里孩子们接近大自然，能学到很多学校内学不到的各种技能，同时也描述了家长们的忧虑。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly, they stared at me in confusion. They didn’t understand my question, which fittingly removed it.然后我问他们时间是不是过得很慢，他们困惑地盯着我。他们不理解我的问题，这正好回避了这个问题）”可知，孩子们对作者的问题感到很迷惑，这也消除了作者的担忧，由此可知，见到孩子们的这种反应，使得作者打消了顾虑。故选A项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题，根据第四段中的主题句“Neither of their clasroom teachers thinks it’s a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a clasroom cannot teach.(他们的老师都不认为这是个问题，但最重要的是，我的孩子们正在学习新的和不同的技能，这是课堂上无法教授的。）”以及下文中的详细介绍的孩子们能学到的各种技能可知，在这所森林学校，孩子们在学习一些学校里面学不到的技能。故选B项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.(我很感激森林学校塑造了我的孩子们与户外的关系。他们正在学习如何在大自然中度过更长的时间，做什么来打发时间，并学习知识，使他们在未来的几十年里更接近大自然。）”以及全文讲述的内容可知，作者介绍的这所森林学校的特殊之处，以及孩子们在这里能学到许多学校内学不到的技能，作者感激森林学校可以塑造孩子与户外的关系，所以本文的题目为“森林学校，一个对我的孩子很好的地方”概括了文章的主题。故选B项。
C
There is nothing quite like enjoying the sights, sounds and culture of a city while tasting a cup of coffee outdoors. But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city. An outdoor cooling system produced by Kinonko, an Israeli (以色列的) company, began to be tested in Tel Aviv. The sweltering city is a perfect place to try the new technology.
With global warming heating up the temperature, it will soon be too hot to sit outside in cafes. While outdoor cooling systems have existed for a while, most of them use some sort of water or misting system to cool the air around them, consuming too much water and power. After two years of development, the perfect solution to the problem was found. “We have invented a new generation of air conditioner, ” Kinonko CEO Leizer said.
As Leizer introduced, the energy is from the pressure created between liquid nitrogen (氮) and gas nitrogen. When liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees turns into gas, it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine. It is that mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.
The technology is unique and amazing. Beyond the coolness of the concept, it also has other advantages. The work unit doesn’t need to be power-driven, and doesn’t blow out harmful warm air as it works. As for the potential price, it will probably be no more expensive than any other air conditioner. In addition, the liquid nitrogen container will need to be replaced every seven to ten days, depending on usage. This makes it an affordable option for all sorts of businesses. The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.
27. What does the underlined word “sweltering” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Warm.
B. Dry.
C. Hot.
D. Freezing.
28. What problem does the existing outdoor cooling systems have?
A. They are wasteful.
B. They overheat easily.
C. They often break down.
D. They are slow to cool the air.
29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly explain?
A. What powers the engine.
B. What turns liquid into gas.
C. How the pressure is formed.
D. How the new system works.
30. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To promote a company.
B. To settle an energy crisis.
C. To introduce a technology.
D. To market a misting system.
【答案】27. C 28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了开始进入测试阶段的一种室外冷却系统，这项新技术有望在2024年投入市场，使人们在炎热的天气下，能够重享在室外喝咖啡的快乐。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city.(但当热浪席卷城市时，就不那么令人愉快了)”可知，这座城市是非常闷热的。由此可知，“The sweltering city”指的是这座闷热的城市，划线词sweltering意为“闷热的”。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“While outdoor cooling systems have existed for a while, most of them use some sort of water or misting system to cool the air around them, consuming too much water and power.(虽然室外冷却系统已经存在了一段时间，但大多数都使用某种水或喷雾系统来冷却周围的空气，消耗了太多的水和电力)”可知，现在的室外冷却系统消耗过多的水和电力，是比较浪费的。故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“When liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees turns into gas, it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine. It is that mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.(当零下196度的液氮变成气体时，会产生很强的压力，这种压力被用来驱动机械发动机。正是这个机械发动机缓慢地释放出冰冷的氮气来冷却周围的空气)”可知，该段主要描述了这种新的冷却系统是如何工作的。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“An outdoor cooling system produced by Kinonko, an Israeli (以色列的) company, began to be tested in Tel Aviv.(以色列Kinonko公司生产的室外冷却系统开始在Tel Aviv进行测试)”和最后一段“The technology is unique and amazing.(这项技术是独特而令人惊叹的)”及“The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.(该冷却系统预计将于2024年上市)”可推知，本文的主要目的是向人们介绍一种新的室外冷却技术。故选C。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some of the best road trips are unplanned. You simply grab a few items, jump in a car and set off. However, this approach involves some risk. ___31___ That’s why the first rule of road trip planning is to bring along whatever you might need to have fun. Some food, a guitar, and a cooler full of drinks can go a long way.
Planning a road trip can be almost as fun as the trip itself. Some well-designed travel guides may be of great help. ___32___ For the logically-minded the management of speed, fuel, accommodation and timing details can present a rewarding journey.
___33___ Highways make it possible to drive across an entire country without seeing anything or meeting anyone. The more you skip freeways in favor of scenic highways, the more you’re likely to get out of your trip.
Once you’ve figured out your plan roughly, fill in the details, and bear in mind that maps and satellite navigation systems are not always up to date. ___34___ Remember, the more you prepare now, the better equipped you’ll be if you decide to change your trip later or have to deal with an unforeseen problem.
Booking accommodation and having backup plans can make or break a trip, especially if you want to visit some remote byways with limited accommodation opportunities. ___35___ In some areas, especially the American West, gas stations can be a hundred miles away.
A. You may end up in a boring part of town.
B. You can find this information online.
C. When planning your route, consider what kinds of roads to take.
D. Also, be sure to investigate fuel availability where you’re headed.
E. It’s good to take an emergency phone with you.

【32题详解】
根据上文“Some well-designed travel guides may be of great help.(一些精心设计的旅游指南可能会有很大帮助)”可推理出，下文说的是查看旅游指南的有益之处，分析待选项，G项“A quick look through them can fuel your inspiration(快速浏览它们可以激发你的灵感)”表达的含义符合语境，故选G项。
【33题详解】
根据下文“Highways make it possible to drive across an entire country without seeing anything or meeting anyone. The more you skip freeways in favor of scenic highways, the more you’re likely to get out of your trip.(高速公路使人们可以开车穿越整个国家，而不会看到任何东西或遇到任何人。你越是跳过高速公路而选择风景优美的公路，你就越有可能从旅行中脱身。)”可知上文说的是，要对出行线路进行规划，与C项“When planning your route, consider what kinds of roads to take.(在规划路线时，要考虑走哪种路。)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。
【34题详解】
根据上文“Once you’ve figured out your plan roughly, fill in the details(一旦你大致了解了你的计划，就填充细节)”以及下文“Remember, the more you prepare now, the better equipped you’ll be if you decide to change your trip later or have to deal with an unforeseen problem(记住，如果你决定以后改变行程或不得不处理不可预见的问题，你现在准备得越多，你配备得就会越充分)”可推理出，此处上下文说的是在确定计划以后，要尽可能充分地进行准备，与F项“Research as much as possible and cross-reference your sources.( 尽可能多地研究并交互参照你的资料。)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。
【35题详解】
根据上文“In some areas, especially the American West, gas stations can be a hundred miles away.( 在一些地区，尤其是美国西部，加油站可能在一百英里外。)”可推理出，上文说的是要对所到之处的燃油供应情况有所准备，与D项“Also, be sure to investigate fuel availability where you’re headed.(此外，一定要调查你要去的地方的燃料供应情况。)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。

【答案】Success
Success has long been a heated topic. When people talk about success, they usually think of the reputation and great fortune naturally. However, I think the definition of success is not just like the traditional idea.
For us students in the school, it seems nowadays the society is telling us to learn hard so as to make a lot of money and then become the successful person. But I have seen and heard many people are rich but not happy. Apparently, the measure of success should lie in the positive attitude to life and the happiness one owns.
That’s exactly my definition of success: If a person lives a happy life then he enjoys success.

72. 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。
Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college.Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet,her love for ballet had faded years before,and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school,as Kelly left the dance studio,she walked past the gym,fascinated by boxers(拳击手)training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing.
She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack.On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase：BOXING CLUB TRYOUT(选拔).That was what Kelly really wanted to do.She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path.
The next day,she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer,right? Besides, boxing is only for boys,and you’re so good at ballet.Lean into your strength,Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted,“and what exactly does ‘only for boys’mean,anyway? Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
Gradually,touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her.Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision,no matter what.But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout,where she was required to show her footwork and punching(击打)abilities with other candidates. Boxing didn＇t come natural to Kelly,but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
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。
Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom.
_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom. Ballet was the Kelly way of life, so only her sister knew about boxing, and her mother would have stopped it. Because boxing didn't come naturally to Kelly, she just came to love it, so she often got knocked down during training and suffered. Now that you've made a choice, you can't give up. She has an unyielding spirit and must participate in the qualifiers.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. Kelly was afraid to look at the published list for fear of losing out. Then a woman tapped her on the shoulder and told her she had been chosen. The voice sounded familiar to her. It was her mother. Her sister stood by smiling. Before she knew it, her mother told her she had known she had been boxing. Her mother very much support her. Now through the qualifiers, the family happily went home to celebrate. This really echoes the saying, "Interest is the best teacher".
