Pet adoption is the perfect way to add a new family member. But if a pet is too young to be adopted, it must be fostered (寄养) first. That’s how a puppy named Maggie that was rescued by the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), ended up being fostered by a sweet six-year-old boy.
The animal rescue organization in Port Washington needed to find a foster home for Maggie because she needed to be trained with basic obedience (顺从) skills and to become comfortable with a home environment. NSALA put out a call for a foster family.
Roman Duncan’s family was the lucky one chosen for the job. The boy fell in love with the puppy and was able to be part of her growth during those formative months. The family always made it clear to Roman that Maggie would eventually be adopted and move to a different home.
When it came time for Maggie to be adopted, Roman couldn’t hold his tears. He decided to write letters to the puppy’s future family. He wrote letters about his furry friend, saying “Maggie is so cute and loves to play fetch. She is the best dog ever,” and slipped the notes and some photos into Maggie’s paperwork.
The rescue team were surprised and then incredibly touched by the notes they found when opening Maggie’s file. NSALA made sure that Roman’s notes reached her adopted family. The boy’s gesture is exactly what pet fostering is about.
A dog or cat that has gone through terrible sufferings such as being abusing needs to learn what it means to live in a home. Fostering helps reduce the animal’s stress and makes it trust people again. It is also an opportunity for people who love pets but can’t have them full-time due to some restrictions. Pet fosters can get to enjoy helping a pet in need. If you are interested in pet fostering, contact a local shelter or animal rescue near you.
4. What happened to Maggie at first?
A. She was released into the wild. B. She was settled in a new home.
C. She was saved by a rescue team. D. She was fostered by Roman’s family.
5. Why did Roman write notes about Maggie?
A. To express his mixed feelings. B. To preserve Maggie’s paperwork.
C To choose Maggie’s future family. D. To help Maggie adapt to new home.
6. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A. The benefits of pet fostering. B. The access to fostering a pet.
C. A homeless animal’s barriers. D. The restrictions to adopting a pet.
7. What is the best title of the text?
A. Maggie Lives Happily in a Comforting Foster Home
B. A Boy Writes Sweet Letter to Puppy’s Forever Family
C. Pet fostering Plays Great Roles in Rescuing Lost Animals
D. Roman Duncan’s Family Adopts a new Family Member
【答案】4 C 5. A 6. A 7. B

C
One of the greatest sources of concern for Alaina Castillo has been the letter R.
Rolling Rs is at the heart of learning Spanish and one of its most challenging trills (颤音), especially for those unaccessible to the language regularly as a young child.
This is a lesson the 21-year-old singer spent years learning in and out of school. And it’s one that has paid off for Castillo, particularly on TikTok (抖音), which has made efforts to train its Spanish creators.
The Houston native is part of a flourishing Spanish and Latinx creator community that has attracted huge followings through videos that briefly translate cultural traditions and history for a young and captive TikTok audience.
“TikTok is a window to the world, and we’ve seen people across the worldwide Latinx and Spanish connect with one another on the platform through shared stories and experiences,” Kudzi Chikumbu, TikTok’s director of creator community, told CNN over email.
TikTok videos from Spanish creators are also getting consumed more than ever.
TikTok hashtags (主题标签) #Latino, #Latina, #Familia and #Comida, among others, grew in use by more than 185% since last year’s Spanish Heritage Month, according to data shared by TikTok spokesperson Cynthia Dew. The hashtags #Latino and #Latina have more than 62 billion views combined to date, Dew added.
Millions of those views belong to Castillo, who joined TikTok roughly a year ago to share original Spanish and English songs, as well as covers.
When she started making music, Castillo thought she’d be singing in English. That changed after her family encouraged her to write records in Spanish after learning the language in high school, Castillo told CNN.
“There’s a lot of different opinions when it comes to Latinx or people like me who are learning Spanish, so I made it my job to write records that bridge the gap between Spanish speakers and those who want to learn but were never taught,” she said.
8. What worries Castillo most in learning Spanish?
A. She is an American Native. B. She had no access to Spanish as young.
C. “R” is difficult to pronounce. D. She has no gift for a second language.
9. What do the underlined words “the language” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Latin. B. Spanish.
C. English. D. Rolling Rs.
10. How do you like Castillo from her experience?
A. Anxious and slow. B. Creative and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and enthusiastic. D. Brave and popular.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Castillo helps non-Spanish speakers a lot.
B. People can understand Latinx people well.
C. People of different languages stand apart.
D. Castillo is fond of writing English records.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了年轻歌手Castillo在抖音上出西班牙语写的唱片来弥合西班牙语者与想学而无人教授西班牙语者之间的差距，并使之成为其工作，这对于非西班牙语者的学习是有很大帮助的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第一段“One of the greatest sources of concern for Alaina Castillo has been the letter R.( Alaina Castillo最担心的是字母R。)”和第二段“Rolling Rs is at the heart of learning Spanish and one of its most challenging trills (R音是学习西班牙语的核心，也是它最具挑战性的颤音之一。)”可知，西班牙语中的字母R的颤音发音是Castillo最大的焦虑源之一，尤其是对于像她那样，小时候没怎么接触西班牙语的人来说，更是难上加难了。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Rolling Rs is at the heart of learning Spanish and one of its most challenging trills(R音是学习西班牙语的核心，也是它最具挑战性的颤音之一。)”可知，西班牙语中的字母R的颤音发音是Castillo最大的焦虑源之一，由此对于像Castillo这样小时候未接触过西班牙语的人是很难发出这个颤音的。故划线处的指代的是“西班牙语”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This is a lesson the 21-year-old singer spent years learning in and out of school. And it’s one that has paid off for Castillo. (就是这位21岁的歌手在学校内外花了多年时间学习的一课。这种做法给卡斯蒂略带来了回报.)”可知，Castillo坚持学习西班牙语，这体现出她意志坚定和最后一段““There’s a lot of different opinions when it comes to Latinx or people like me who are learning Spanish, so I made it my job to write records that bridge the gap between Spanish speakers and those who want to learn but were never taught,” she said.(“当涉及到拉丁语或像我这样正在学习西班牙语的人时，有很多不同的观点，所以我把写唱片作为我的工作，以弥合说西班牙语者和那些想学但从未被教过的人之间的差距，”她说。)”可知，Castillo在抖音上出西班牙语写的唱片来弥合西班牙语者与想学而无人教授西班牙语者之间的差距，并使之成为其工作，她对这份工作是充满热情的。故可以推断她是一个意志坚定且充满热情的人。故选C。
【11题详解】

D
Kwanzaa may be a festival celebrated by millions of African Americans and pan-Africans, but it has only been around for a few decades (十年). Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture.
Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles (信条), the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed.
Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A., Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community. He paired the practices with traditions of several different harvest celebrations on the African continent, and although it is celebrated around the Christmas period, it perhaps has more similarities to Thanksgiving or the Yam Festival in Ghana and Nigeria.
There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations.
These seven principles are known as Umoja, meaning unity; kujichagulia, self-determination; ujima, collective work, and responsibility; ujamaa, cooperative economics; nia, purpose; kuumba, creativity; and Imani, faith. There are seven candles used during the festival, and like, the Jewish Hanukkah, these candles are used to represent the principles.
On December 31, participants celebrate with a plentiful meal, often featuring good meals from various African countries.
The number of Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa has changed greatly over the years, and with as many as six million getting involved in the 1980s, Kwanzaa became a mainstream holiday. Now, however, numbers have paled, but it still remains an important cultural touchstone (试金石) for many African American communities.
12. What activity can be included during the celebration of Kwanzaa?
A. Creating a piece of music. B. Having a plentiful meal.
C. Giving and receiving gifts. D. Enjoying an art exhibition.
13. How did Dr. Karenga bring Kwanzaa to life?
A. He started the Watts violence in Los Angeles.
B. He created five common sets of values.
C. He found ways to practice African traditions.
D. He strengthened the unity of neighbors.
14. What can we infer about the celebration of Kwanzaa?
A. Kwanzaa is a festival across the world.
B. Africans are considered important in the U.S..
C. Kwanzaa is an important cultural symbol.
D. Kwanzaa is less popular among young Africans.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A festival: The Culture Cross the World
B. African Americans: An Important Part of Americans
C. Principles: The Focus of a Festival
D. Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非裔美国人和泛非洲人的宽扎节。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles, the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed.(这个节日的特色是盛宴、音乐和舞蹈，以及对不同原则的献身和重新承诺，它诞生于黑人自由运动(Black Freedom Movement)中期，当时人们认为需要文化基础)”可知，宽扎节的庆祝活动盛宴、音乐和舞蹈，对比选项。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A., Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community.(加州州立大学长滩分校黑人研究教授兼主席Maulana Karenga博士负责让这个节日变得活跃起来。洛杉矶瓦茨暴力事件发生后，卡伦加博士寻找加强非裔美国人社区的方法)”可知，卡伦加博士加强了邻居们的团结让宽扎节活跃起来。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations.(在为期一周的活动中，有五套共同的价值观是中心:聚集、尊敬、纪念、重新承诺和庆祝。宽扎节有七个原则，在肯尼亚、乌干达和坦桑尼亚使用的斯瓦希里语中，宽扎节意味着第一批果实。最早的水果庆典出现在古代和现代的古典非洲文明中)”可知，宽扎节有五套共同的价值观，有七个原则，所以我们能从宽扎节的庆祝活动中推断出宽扎节是一个重要的文化象征。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Kwanzaa may be a festival celebrated by millions of African Americans and pan-Africans, but it has only been around for a few decades. Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture.(宽扎节可能是数百万非裔美国人和泛非洲人庆祝的节日，但它只有几十年的历史。这个节日于1966年传入美国，作为欢迎第一次丰收的仪式，从12月26日举行到1月1日，是庆祝生命、团结、家庭和文化的节日)”可知，本文主要介绍宽扎节，而宽扎节是庆祝生命、团结、家庭和文化的节日。所以最好的标题是D项“Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture(宽扎节:非洲人庆祝团结和文化的节日)”符合文意。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
They say that children learn languages the best. ___16___. We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.
Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — ___17___.”
Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. ___18___, read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.
___19___. Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...
Make new friends. ___20___ — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.
A. Let technology help you out
B. and look up them in the dictionary
C. Do not worry about making mistakes
D. and then slowly start picking up grammar
E. Communicating in the new language is key
F. But that doesn’t mean that adults should give up
G. Stick every object in your house in this language
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了掌握外语的几个基本原则。
【16题详解】
F选项“但这并不意味着成年人应该放弃”与上文“They say that children learn languages the best.(他们说孩子们学习语言最好)”形成转折关系，引出下文“We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.(我们邀请了TED开放翻译项目中的一些多语者分享他们掌握外语的秘诀。几个基本原则如下)”讲掌握外语的几个基本原则。故选F项。
【17题详解】
由上文German translator Judith Matz的话“Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people(先找50个外语单词，用它们来跟别人交流)”可知，Judith Matz建议先选择所学语言的50个单词在真实场景中使用，然后慢慢学习语法，上下文先后关系，D选项“然后慢慢开始学习语法”切题。故选D项。
【18题详解】
由下文“read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend(读用那门语言写的童话，看有字幕的TED演讲，或者跟你想象中的外国朋友讲述一些一天里发生的事)”可知，该选项与后文两个分句构成平行关系，它们都是在家使用语言的日常场景，G选项“把家里的每一件物品都用这种语言粘起来”也呼应小标题“Play house with the language.(和语言玩过家家)”。故选G项。
【19题详解】
空处是该段段落小标题，由下文“Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...(德米特罗琴科娃有一个很好的主意：“重新设置手机语言就能让你马上学到新单词，”她说。同样，你也可以在浏览器上更改语言。或者在网上找一些更系统的学习资源。荷兰语翻译家埃尔斯·德·凯瑟推荐用“多邻国”像玩游戏一样学习语法，用Anki的智能卡片背单词)”可知，本段主要讲可以运用技术来帮助学习语言，A选项“让技术帮助你”切题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由小标题“Make new friends. (结交新朋友)”可知该段主题是通过交友练习语言，E选项中的“Communicating”是关键，E选项“用新语言交流是关键”切题。故选E项。

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it ___41___ (come) to the holidays people tend to forget that it’s the season of giving rather than receiving. We tend to be more ___42___ (interest) in what we’ll receive on Christmas morning instead of looking at the holidays as an opportunity ___43___ (help) out those who don’t have it as good as we do. So how can we change the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the time to give as much ___44___ they are looking forward to opening up their stockings? This is a question worth ___45___ (think) about. Giving ___46___ (selfless) is the right thing to do, though many of us ___47___ (challenge) by the task. Whether or not we have much money to spare, it isn’t always easy to give away ___48___ we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set financial goals — saving for retirement, a vacation or a ___49___ (rain) day. Even with so many reasons to be unwilling, the advantages of giving outweigh them all. When we give to those in need, we make a positive difference ___50___ the lives of others and our own.
【答案】41. comes
42. interested
43. to help
44. as 45. thinking
46. selflessly
47. are challenged
48. what 49. rainy
50. to
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讲述的是人们忘记了节日的初衷，只关注自己在节日时得到了什么，而不是把节日当作一个付出的时机。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：当谈及到假日，人们总是忘记这是一个付出的时刻而不是一个收获的时刻。“when it comes to...”是常见的一种表达，意思是“当谈及到”，主语为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故填comes。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，这里考查的是be interested in这个固定短语的用法，意为“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词tend，所以help应用非谓语形式，此处应用不定式做opportunity的后置定语。故填to help。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，我们该如何挑战节日文化来确保人们去重视这些付出的机会，就像人们重视期待圣诞袜里出现礼物一样呢?分析句子结构可知，这里有一个同级比较，as much as意为“和……一样多”，第一个as是副词，第二个as引导比较状语从句。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个值得思考的问题。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配be worth doing意为“值得做某事”。故填thinking。
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。修饰动词give，所以需要用副词形式，selfless的副词形式是selflessly。故填selflessly。
【47题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。分析句子结构可知，本句是though 引导的让步状语从句，challenge做从句谓语，根据语义，判断使用被动语态，再根据主句用的是一般现在时，从句也用一般现在时。故填are challenged。
【48题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。根据句子结构可知，空处引导的是宾语从句，从句中for后面缺宾语，指代事物，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【49题详解】
考查形容词。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词day，所以空处应填形容词修饰名词，rain的形容词形式是rainy，此处的rainy day，意思为“有困难的日子”。故填rainy。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我们给予那些有需求的人帮助，我们就对他们以及我们的生活都产生积极的影响。根据句意，此处是固定短语make a difference to，意思为“对……产生影响”，故填to。

Listening to English radio programmes help me get used to how fast native speaker talk. I also repeat what I hear to help me to experience the feeling of language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to my pronunciation and compare it with the radio host! My biggest headache is why to be polite in English. It’s much easier to just say “Open the window!”, but in English that can sound really terribly. I have to think about who I’m talking to and then decide whether to say it, “Open the window, please!” or “Could you open the window, please?” or even a long one “Would you mind open the window, please?”
【答案】1. help→helps
2. speaker→speakers
3. me→myself
4. language前加the
5. host→host’s
6. why→how
7. terribly→terrible
8. 去掉it
9. long→longer
10. open→opening

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了作者学习英语的方法和遇到的问题。
【详解】1. 考查主谓一致。句意：听英语广播节目帮助我习惯了以英语为母语的人说话的速度。分析句子结构可知，本句主语是Listening，为动名词做主语，是第三人称单数，句子描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故将help改为helps。
2. 考查名词。句意：听英语广播节目帮助我习惯了以英语为母语的人说话的速度。根据句意可知，英语为母语的人很多，所以speaker为可数名词，应该用复数形式。故将speaker改为speakers。
3. 考查代词。句意：我也会重复我所听到的来帮助自己体验语言的感觉。分析句子结构，根据句意可知，此处表达的是“我帮助我自己”之意，而不是“我帮助我”，不符合日常表达。故将me改为myself。
4. 考查冠词。句意：我也会重复我所听到的来帮助自己体验语言的感觉。分析句子结构可知，此处的language特指上文提到的英语，所以前需加定冠词the。故在language前加the。
5. 考查名词所有格。句意：有时我甚至会录下自己的声音，这样我就可以听到自己的发音，并将其与电台主持人的发音进行比较!分析句子结构，根据句意可知，此处指的是和主持人的发音作比较，而不是和主持人比较，所以需用名词所有格。故将host改为host’s。
6. 考查表语从句连接词。句意：我最头疼的是如何用英语表达礼貌。分析句子结构，根据句意可知，why引导的是表语从句，此处表达的是怎么样表达礼貌之意，问的是方法，所以应该用how引导。故将why改为how。
7. 考查形容词。句意：直接说“打开窗户!”，但在英语中，这听起来真的很糟糕。分析句子结构可知，sound是系动词，后应接形容词做表语，而terribly是副词，所以应改为形容词terrible。故将terribly改为terrible。
8. 考查代词。句意：我必须考虑我在和谁说话，然后决定是否说：“请把窗户打开!”或者“你能把窗户打开吗?”或者甚至是更长的一句“你介意打开窗户吗?”。分析句子结构可知，say后面有接具体的内容，所以此处it指代不明，应去掉。故去掉it。
9. 考查形容词。句意：我必须考虑我在和谁说话，然后决定是否说:“请把窗户打开!”或者“你能把窗户打开吗?”或者甚至是更长的一句“你介意打开窗户吗?”。分析句子结构，根据even可知，此处是把后面一句话和前面的话做对比，所以应该用比较级。故将long改为longer。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：你介意打开窗户吗?分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定句型would you mind doing sth.意为“你介意做某事吗”。故将open改为opening。
