Arsh believes in the imprtance f making the wrld a mre beautiful place. The talented by nt nly paints but als sells his artwrk and dnates the mney.
It all started when his parents bught him a set f painting tls fr his 8th birthday. Once he had his wn materials, he began spending much f his free time putting clr n his canvas. As Arsh’s paintings began t grw in number, he decided t give them as gifts t friends and family.

Arsh’s artwrk is ften clrful and cheery, as ne might expect frm a yungster, but it shwcases the impressive technique f a gifted artist. Sme pieces are mre abstract in nature; thers feature realistic renditins (演绎) f flwers and animals. They range in size and cmplexity, and, accrdingly, price. Small paintings might sell fr $10 while larger canvases, up t five feet, have gne fr $800.
Last year, Arsh wn The Diana Award, an hnr presented by a UK charity funded n Princess Diana’s belief that yung peple have the pwer t change their cuntry. And the yung artist has advice fr ther kids lking t make a difference. “Helping thers desn’t have t be, like, mney r anything. It can be yur time, yur skills, yur talent,” he says, “and verall, just be kind t ther peple t make their day better.”

Since then, he’s bradened his reach t benefit ther rganizatins, including childhd cancer nnprfit Cmpass t Care and the Make-A-Wish Fundatin. He’s raised ver $16,000 fr charities s far. (他的第一个计划是为St. Jude儿童研究医院筹集1000美元,他通过在社交媒体和当地艺术展上出售自己的画作,在大约9个月的时间里完成了这个目标。从那以后,他扩大了自己的影响范围,帮助其他组织,包括儿童癌症非营利组Cmpass t Car和the Make-A-Wish 基金会。到目前为止,他已经为慈善机构筹集了超过16000美元)”可推知,Arsh的筹资计划进展顺利。故选A。
【7题详解】

It can be yur time, yur skills, yur talent,’ he says, ‘and verall, just be kind t ther peple t make their day better.’ (‘帮助别人不一定是金钱或其他东西。它可以是你的时间,你的技能,你的才能,’他说,‘总的来说,只是善待别人,让他们的一天更美好。’)”可知,Arsh说帮助别人可以是任何东西,只是善待别人,就可以让他人的一天更美好。由此推知,他的意思是每个人都有帮助别人的能力。故选B。
C
Stress ften ccurs when humans have t much wrk r are in immediate danger. We cmmunicate ur stress t thers thrugh ur behavir and physilgical changes. Thus, stress can cmmunicate infrmatin and even be useful fr survival in certain situatins. On the ther hand, the massive spread f stress frequently leads t dangerus situatins in grups, such as mass panic.
Hwever, nt nly humans, but als animals can experience and spread stress. This is the present research fcus f Dr Hanja Brand l frm the University f Knstanz.
“It has been repeatedly shwn that stress can be spread frm ne human t anther,” Brand l says. “Often, a similarly strng physilgical respnse is triggered, even thugh yu have never experienced the stress yurself.” But what is knwn abut stress amng animals? Brand l cncludes ther animals in the grup can be just as stressed as the friend wh experienced smething bad. Stress is evlutinarily deeply rted and the prcess is similar in all vertebrates (脊椎动物).
When are animals stressed? T be mentined primarily are naturally ccurring threats t which they are expsed, such as natural enemies. Human influences raise the level f stress. “Increasing changes in the habitat r nise and light pllutin als have an impact as these massively influence the envirnment f the animals.” Brand l explains. “Animals are flexible and can adapt t situatins. But at sme pint, the stress respnse—the adaptatins that therwise help animals better escape stressrs like enemies—n lnger gives them a survival advantage,” she adds.
This nt nly endangers the animals’ health, but als changes the scial structure f grups. “If we knw hw the underlying mechanisms (机制) wrk, we can better prtect animals,” says Brandl.
Fr humans, t, insights frm the animal wrld are useful, she says. “With humans, we can’t measure the functinality f grups under stress well in natural scenes.” Therefre, Brandl is nw cntinuing her studies. In the future, this will make it easier t respnd t and help with the spread f stress in grups f peple.
8. What can we learn abut stress frm paragraph 1?
A. Stress is bth gd and bad.
B. Grup living. can easily cause stress.
C. Each individual reacts differently t stressful situatins.
D. Pr cmmunicatin is ne f the biggest causes f stress.
9. What des the underlined wrd “triggered” prbably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Ignred.B. Eased.C. Caused.D. Transfrmed.
10. What can humans d t help animals reduce stress?
A. Supply fd t them.
B. Make them live in grups.
C. Prtect their habitat frm being destryed.
D. Prvide pprtunities fr them t practice their survival skills.
11. Frm which is the text prbably taken?
A. A pet magazine.B. A news website.
C. A bk review.D. A technical frum.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了压力不仅在人类中存在,动物也会经历和传播压力,并且介绍了动物产生压力的原因,包括自然威胁和人类影响,还提到了压力对动物健康和群体社会结构的影响,以及了解压力机制对保护动物的重要性,同时指出了从动物世界获得的见解对人类也很有用,最后提到研究人员将继续研究以更好地应对和帮助人们群体中压力的传播。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Thus, stress can cmmunicate infrmatin and even be useful fr survival in certain situatins. On the ther hand, the massive spread f stress frequently leads t dangerus situatins in grups, such as mass panic. (因此,压力可以传递信息,在某些情况下甚至对生存有益。另一方面,压力的广泛传播常常导致群体中的危险情况,如大规模恐慌)”可知,压力在某些情况下可以传递信息并且对生存有用,但另一方面,压力的大规模传播经常导致群体中的危险情况,如群众恐慌。因此,我们可以了解到压力既有好的一面也有坏的一面,故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词上文“a similarly strng physilgical respnse (类似的强烈生理反应)”以及下文“even thugh yu have never experienced the stress yurself (即使你自己从未经历过这种压力)”可知,上下文说的是通常一个同样强烈的生理反应会被引发,即使你自己从未经历过这种压力,可推理出划线词的含义为“引发”,分析选项,C项“Caused (导致)”表达的含义符合语境,故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Increasing changes in the habitat r nise and light pllutin als have an impact as these massively influence the envirnment f the animals. (栖息地不断增加的变化或噪音和光污染也产生了影响,因为这些因素极大地影响了动物的生活环境)”可知,栖息地的变化增加或噪音和光污染也会影响动物,因为这些会严重影响动物的环境,可推理出保护动物的栖息地不受破坏可以帮助减少它们的压力,故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Hwever, nt nly humans, but als animals can experience and spread stress. This is the present research fcus f Dr Hanja Brand l frm the University f Knstanz. (然而,不仅人类,动物也会经历和传播压力。这是来自康斯坦茨大学的汉娅·布兰德尔博士目前的研究重点)”、第四段“Animals are flexible and can adapt t situatins. But at sme pint, the stress respnse—the adaptatins that therwise help animals better escape stressrs like enemies—n lnger gives them a survival advantage, (动物是灵活的,可以适应各种情况。但在某些时候,应激反应——这些适应性反应本来有助于动物更好地逃离诸如敌人等压力源——就不再给它们带来生存优势了)”、倒数第二段“This nt nly endangers the animals’ health, but als changes the scial structure f grups. “If we knw hw the underlying mechanisms(机制)wrk, we can better prtect animals,” says Brandl.(这不仅危害动物的健康,也改变了群体的社会结构。“如果我们了解这些潜在机制是如何工作的,我们就能更好地保护动物,”布兰德尔说)”以及最后一段“Therefre, Brandl is nw cntinuing her studies. In the future, this will make it easier t respnd t and help with the spread f stress in grups f peple. (因此,布兰德尔现在继续她的研究。在未来,这将使人们更容易应对和帮助应对人群中压力的扩散)”可知,文章内容涉及科学研究发现,特别是引用了Dr. Hanja Brandl的研究,讨论了人类和动物的应激反应及其影响,提到了对动物保护的意义以及未来研究方向,这些信息通常出现在报道科学研究成果的新闻网站上。文章的写作风格和内容并不符合宠物杂志的亲和指导性、书评的文学分析性或技术论坛的专业技术讨论性质。因此,最合适的来源是新闻网站,故选B项。
D
It’s easy fr cnsumers t buy fd and drinks like a bwl f ht rice and cke nline r frm neighburhd shps, but fr astrnauts such things were impssible in the past.
Members f China’s Shenzhu manned space flight last year, hwever, were able t enjy such fd, thanks t Jyung, a Chinese firm. Jyung created a mbile space kitchen fr the astrnauts. A drinking water machine, an air heater and a sybean milk maker were all accessible in the kitchen thrugh a smart app. Tang Hngb, wh was a member f the Shenzhu manned spacecraft said in the news that during his three-mnth trip, he culd eat ht fd with just half-hur effrts, a cntrast t the past when similar attempts required several hurs. “If we had time, we wuld als use equipment t eat hmemade ygurt. We culd als cntrl the equipment in the space kitchen thrugh mbile phne apps.” he said.
In the past, mst fds culdn’t be directly heated in a micrwave ven in the space. Cnductin equipment ften caused uneven (不均匀的) heating. An astrnaut had t spend as lng as fur hurs t heat sme vegetables in the space kitchen. T slve the prblem, Jyung has develped equipment that gives ut ht air t heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astrnauts t eat steaming-ht fish-flavured prk and Gngba chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.
Besides Jyung, a grup f cmpanies, including Xiami Cip and Huawei Technlgies, have cntributed their technlgies t the develpment f the space statin. A vacuum (真空) cleaner made haircuts n the spacecraft pssible. NOLO VR, a Chinese virtual reality manufacturer, has helped astrnauts develp an experimental equipment thrugh which labratry technicians n the grund can see and experience what astrnauts are ding in space.
12. What d astrnauts think f Jyung’s mbile space kitchen?
A. Water-saving.B. Energy-wasting.C. Time-saving.D. Mney-wasting.
13. Hw des the authr shw the cnvenience n Shenzhu manned spacecraft?
A. By making cntrasts.B. By analyzing results.
C. By prviding pictures.D. By answering questins.
14. What des the last paragraph want t shw?
A. Jayung needs t further its technlgy.
B. What astrnauts are ding is significant.
C. Astrnauts n bard can d as they wish.
D. There are mre technlgies fr the spacecraft.
15. What is the best title f the text?
A. The Ht Diet n the Space Statin Needs t be Addressed
B. Earth t Space, Firms Add Value by Creating Technlgy
C. Mdern Technlgy Brings Cnvenience t Human Beings
D. Manufacturers Make Big Prfits frm Inventing Equipment

【37题详解】

【42题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:作为世界上最富有的人之一,Facebk的创始人并没有在自己身上花太多钱。结合“the wrld’s”可知,此处指“世界上最富有的人之一”,使用形容词最高级,故填richest。

考查名词复数。句意:这与我们应该通过我们参加的活动而不是我们买的东西让自己快乐的观点有关。activity是可数名词,其前无限定词,结合“we take part in”可知,此处应用名词复数形式,故填activities。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在这种情况下,有一句英国谚语提供了一些很好的建议:“节约从小处做起。”空处引导定语从句,先行词是a British saying,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导,故填that/which。

On a cld winter day years ag, I slipped in the snw in the wilderness and brke my legs. As I lay n the grund, unable t mve my bdy, I believed I was fated t freeze t death. My dg, Becky, hwever, didn't run away. Instead, she determined t save me. She lay n tp f me t keep me warm fr many hurs, barking cntinually until help arrived, lng after I lst cnsciusness. Eventually, I was saved.
A few cld winters later, Becky was discvered t have a baseball-sized lump (肿块) n her belly. Befre lng, my husband Bb tk Becky fr surgery t remve the lump. T take care f my babies, I had t stay at hme, filled with anxius thughts. After her surgery, when Bb left t pick her up, it was snwing heavily. Becky culd barely walk, s Bb carried her.
They culdn't get in the dr easily because Becky was wearing a big, hard plastic cne(圆锥体) arund her neck t prevent her frm licking her sutures (伤口缝合线). I held the dr wide pen. She was sad and crying. There was snw inside her cne. It tk ver five minutes t get them in because Becky shk her head wildly t try t remve the cne. The sund f the cn e hitting the dr made her panic and cry even luder.
Once inside, she was s frightened that she kept her tail between her legs. She thught she had dne smething wrng. Her expressin said, “I’m srry fr what I did that led t me having t wear this.” Because f her surgery, Becky wuldn't take her special treat f a cube f cheese. She wuldn’t sit r lie dwn. All she did was stand and cry. “Hw lng will she have t wear it ?” I asked. “Tw weeks,” Bb replied.
“It’s my turn t take gd care f her, just as she did fr me years ag,” I thught.
Paragraph 1:
Then, I stayed with her n the flr, helping her get thrugh her firs tugh night.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, I stayed with her n the flr, helping her get thrugh her first tugh night. Hlding her tenderly, my sthing whispers and small treats, given ne by ne, gradually calmed her anxius spirit, distracting her frm the cne’s ppressive discmfrt. As she nestled with her head n my lap, her gratitude was palpable, mirrring the unwavering supprt she had nce bestwed during my wn time f need. As the night unflded, we bth fund slace in ur shared cmpaninship, eagerly awaiting the day when the cnfining cne wuld be lifted.
Eventually, the day arrived when Bb tk her t have her sutures remved. The mment she emerged frm the clinic, her tail danced with pure delight, the cne’s encirclement nw a frgtten memry. I wept with pride, witnessing her renewed vigr as she explred the backyard, her resilience eching the resilience she had shwn n that frigid winter when she saved my life. Determined t repay her kindness, I cherished every passing mment, shwering her with the identical lve and supprt she had nce given me. Our bnd, frged thrugh trials and gratitude, was a testament t the prfund cnnectin that transcended language, exemplifying the unyielding bnd between a heart filled with gratitude and an ever-lyal friend.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个寒冷的冬天,主人意外摔断了双腿,无法行动的情况下,狗狗Becky决定挺身而出,用自己的身体保暖并不停地吠叫,直到救援到达。多年后,Becky肚子上患上了一个巴士球大小的肿块,接受手术治疗,但手术后因佩戴塑料圆锥体以防止舔伤口而感到不安和不适。主人意识到现在轮到自己照顾Becky了,像Becky当初保护自己一样,主人决心好好照顾Becky。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然后,我和她一起躺在地板上,帮助她度过了第一个艰难夜晚。”可知,第一段可描写作者抱着Becky,让她逐渐平静,想起了曾经,等待着紧闭锥体被解除的那天的到来。
