Life was not kind to a sweet Boxer-Pit Bull mix. Dog fighting had cruelly taken away his left ear. In 2019, the 4-year-old arrived at a rescue in North Carolina and was then named Van Gogh. Christy Langley explains he was named after the famous painter “not because he is an artist, but because he is a work of art”. What Lang-ley couldn’t predict (预测) was that Van Gogh would actually go on to be a successful artist.
Gartner owns a shelter that helps dogs in shelters that are at risk of being put down. She saw Van Gogh and immediately knew she needed to help. So, she took Van Gogh in from North Carolina in June 2022. Gartner started telling everyone about the friendly and lovely Van Gogh on Facebook, Pet finder, and Rescue Me, but no one responded.
After months of searching for a new owner, Gartner had a new idea. Why not take Van Gogh’s name literally? Gartner explained. “He certainly had the name and the ear for it.” Gartner got to work, putting some paint on a canvas (油画布), wrapping it in a plastic bag, and coating it with peanut butter (花生酱) as a tasty treat for the pup. It only took five minutes for Van Gogh to lick the plastic-coated canvas clean and for a work of art to be created.
They worked on paintings for about a week and then, Gartner invited people to an outdoor art gallery event on October 23, 2022. Sadly, only two people showed up. The next day, Gartner put out a post on Facebook that she felt bad only two people showed up, and said the rest of the paintings were still waiting for their owners. Suddenly, Van Gogh’s pieces were hot items. After two minutes, the paintings were sold out and Gartner raised around $1,000 for her rescue. The biggest success of all, though, was that on the last day of the silent sale, Van Gogh was finally adopted (收养).
4. What got the dog named “Van Gogh”?
A. His talent. B. His works. C. His experience. D. His appearance.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The Canvas. B. The plastic bag. C. The work of art. D. The paint.
6. In what way is “Van Gogh” successful?
A. He went to Gartner for help.
B. He was skilled in promotion.
C. He defeated other dogs in a fight.
D. He was able to find himself a home.
7. Which words can best describe Gartner?
A. Creative and Demanding.
B. Caring and Determined.
C. Humorous and Honest.
D. Sociable and Generous.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述的是一只失去一只耳朵的小狗在Gartner坚持不懈的帮助下，最终成功被收养的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Life was not kind to a sweet Boxer-Pit Bull mix. Dog fighting had cruelly taken away his left ear. In 2019, the 4-year-old arrived at a rescue in North Carolina and was then named Van Gogh. Christy Langley explains he was named after the famous painter “not because he is an artist, but because he is a work of art”. (生活对一只可爱的拳师犬和比特犬的杂交犬并不仁慈。其他狗的撕咬残忍地夺去了他的左耳。2019年，这只4岁的小狗被送到北卡罗来纳州的救援中心，然后被命名为梵高。克里斯蒂·兰利解释说，他以这位著名画家的名字命名，“不是因为他是一位艺术家，而是因为他本身就是一件艺术品”。)”可知，这只狗被命名为梵高不是因为他是艺术家，而是因为他本身就是一件艺术品——只有一只耳朵的杂交犬，即：因外表而得名，故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Gartner got to work, putting some paint on a canvas (油画布), wrapping it in a plastic bag, and coating it with peanut butter (花生酱) as a tasty treat for the pup. (Gartner开始工作，在画布上涂上一些颜料，用塑料袋包裹起来，然后涂上花生酱，作为对小狗的美味款待。)”由此可猜测it指的是油画布，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的最后一句“The biggest success of all, though, was that on the last day of the silent sale, Van Gogh was finally adopted (收养). (然而，最大的成功是在无声拍卖的最后一天，梵高终于被收养了。) 可知，梵高被收养了是最大的成功，故选D。
7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Gartner owns a shelter that helps dogs in shelters that are at risk of being put down. She saw Van Gogh and immediately knew she needed to help. (Gartner拥有一家收容所，帮助那些有被安乐死风险的狗。她看到梵高，立刻意识到她需要帮助。)”可知她是一个有爱心的人；再通过第三段和第四段Gartner为了帮助Van Gogh找到可以收养它的家庭经过了屡次失败而没放弃，最后终于成功了，说明她是一个有决心的人。故选B。
C
We’ve all done it. For many of us, it’s something that happens so naturally every day. After working on an important project or a task for a little while, you decide to take a break-only to pick up your smartphone and start looking through social media, reading emails, checking out the news and maybe getting in a quick round of “Candy Crush Saga”. A break is supposed to be a time to relax so that you can go back to your work feeling fresh. However, a new study finds that cellphone use during a mental break doesn’t really allow the brain to relax and can actually result in a poorer performance.
For the study, a group of 422 undergraduate students at Rutgers were assigned a set of 20 word puzzles to complete. Halfway through the task, the students were separated into three groups: one group took a break and were told to use their cellphones to go shopping online, another group took a break and were instructed to shop either via their computers or using a paper circular (印刷品广告), and the third group didn’t take a break at all.
Interestingly, the group that took a break with their cellphones displayed the highest levels of mental fatigue (疲劳), and had the hardest time solving the word puzzles following their breaks. In all, the cellphone group took 19% longer to finish the puzzle task, and solved 22% fewer problems than participants in the other two groups combined.
“The act of reaching for your phone between tasks, or the mid-task, is becoming more common. We assume it’s no different from any other break-but the phone may carry increasing levels of distraction (使人分心的事) that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks,” explains Terri Kurtzberg.
8. Why do people turn to smart phone after a big task?
A. To get relaxed. B. To keep informed. C. To achieve help. D. To make a phone call.
9. How was the study conducted?
A. By asking questions. B. By interviewing lots of people.
C. By studying different lifestyles. D. By studying different ways of breaks.
10. What does the study suggest?
A. Breaks are unnecessary. B. Students are addicted to smart phones.
C. Smart phones distract people’s attention. D. Paper circulars improve work efficiency.
11. What might be the purpose of the author?
A. To share a story. B. To present a finding. C. To solve a problem. D. To prove a theory.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，在脑力劳动休息期间使用手机并不能真正让大脑放松，实际上会导致更差的表现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“After working on an important project or a task for a little while, you decide to take a break-only to pick up your smartphone and start looking through social media, reading emails, checking out the news and maybe getting in a quick round of “Candy Crush Saga”. (在完成一项重要的项目或任务一段时间后，你决定休息一下——只是拿起你的智能手机，开始浏览社交媒体，阅读电子邮件，查看新闻，或者快速地玩一轮“糖果粉碎传奇”。)”，可知在完成一项大任务后会转向智能手机是为了休息放松，故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For the study, a group of 422 undergraduate students at Rutgers were assigned a set of 20 word puzzles to complete. Halfway through the task, the students were separated into three groups: one group took a break and were told to use their cellphones to go shopping online, another group took a break and were instructed to shop either via their computers or using a paper circular (印刷品广告), and the third group didn’t take a break at all. (在这项研究中，罗格斯大学的422名本科生被分配了一组20个字谜来完成。在任务进行到一半时，学生们被分成三组：一组休息一下，被要求使用手机在网上购物；另一组休息一下，被要求通过电脑或使用纸质通知购物；第三组根本不休息。)”。可知这项研究是通过研究不同的休息方式。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The act of reaching for your phone between tasks, or the mid-task, is becoming more common. We assume it’s no different from any other break-but the phone may carry increasing levels of distraction (使人分心的事) that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks,” explains Terri Kurtzberg. (“任务之间或任务中间拿手机的行为正变得越来越普遍。我们认为这和其他休息时间没有什么不同，但手机可能会越来越多地分散注意力，使人难以将注意力重新集中到工作任务上，”特里·库兹伯格解释说。)”。可知这项研究表明智能手机分散人们的注意力。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段“However, a new study finds that cellphone use during a mental break doesn’t really allow the brain to relax and can actually result in a poorer performance. (然而，一项新的研究发现，在精神休息时使用手机并不能真正让大脑放松，实际上会导致更差的表现。)”。可知作者的目的就是提出了一项新的研究发现，故选B。
D
Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. It is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be dealt with. When we take notice of that signal and actually correct the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it.
Start by looking beyond the superficial (表面上的) trigger to your anger. Anger is often precipitated (仓促发生) by underlying feelings of fear, anxiety, disappointment and guilt. Maybe you’re extremely angry that your partner is late, but it’s really because you were afraid that he or she had a car accident in the bad weather.
It helps to take a cool-down period before explaining to someone you’re angry with how he or she rocked your boat. That will allow for the effects of the adrenaline (肾上腺素) to wear off, which in turn allows you to reflect on what’s bothering you. Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activity to take the edge off. “There’s clear evidence that exercise helps with feelings of anger,” says McIntosh.
When you’re ready to approach the other person, focus on the behaviour and why it upsets you, not the person’s characters. Avoid calling the other person names. Don’t say something bad, and don’t make generalizations (泛化), such as “You always do this!” “The idea”, says Keelan, “is to bring up your reasonable points to the other person in a manner that is most likely to get a helpful and non-defensive response. ”
If you’re on the receiving end, remember that there are benefits to acknowledging and trying to under-stand the other person’s anger. Try offering to make a change, if that seems fair to you. If you’re willing to be a partner in working through heated situations, the other person will be much more likely to bring matters up constructively in the future. In the end, you’ll both be healthier for it.
12. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Cause. B. Solution. C. Course. D. Strategy.
13. Which might the author agree to deal with anger?
A. Breathe deeply while angry. B. Keep off a person you dislike.
C. Accept the lateness out of politeness. D. Point out the weaknesses in other’s character.
14. What shall we do with an angry partner?
A. Make a change at once. B. Stand in the other’s shoes.
C. Advise the partner to be calm. D. Help the partner overcome difficulties.
15. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Get Benefits out of Anger B. A New Research about Anger
C. Get Angry the Right Way D. How to Keep emotions Hidden
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述愤怒可能会让人感到不舒服，但这也是正常和健康的。这是一种内在的情感，表明我们需要处理一些事情。并且从不同方面讲了该如何面对愤怒。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线处下文“Anger is often precipitated (仓促发生) by underlying feelings of fear, anxiety, disappointment and guilt. Maybe you’re extremely angry that your partner is late, but it’s really because you were afraid that he or she had a car accident in the bad weather. (愤怒通常是由潜在的恐惧、焦虑、失望和内疚情绪引发的。也许你对你的伴侣迟到非常生气，但这实际上是因为你担心他或她在恶劣的天气下出了车祸。)”由此可推断上文意思是“从查找触发你愤怒的因素开始”。故猜测“trigger”意思是“原因”，故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It helps to take a cool-down period before explaining to someone you’re angry with how he or she rocked your boat. That will allow for the effects of the adrenaline (肾上腺素) to wear off, which in turn allows you to reflect on what’s bothering you. Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activity to take the edge off. (在向你生气的人解释他或她如何破坏了你的良好状态之前，花一段时间冷静下来是有帮助的。这会让肾上腺素的作用逐渐消失，从而让你反思困扰你的事情。做一些控制呼吸或找一些体育活动来缓解紧张情绪。)”可知作者可能会同意生气的时候深呼吸，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you’re on the receiving end, remember that there are benefits to acknowledging and trying to under-stand the other person’s anger. (如果你是被激怒的一方，记住承认并试图理解对方的愤怒是有好处的。)”可知生气的时候要站在别人的角度考虑问题。Stand in the other’s shoes意思是：设身处地为他人着想。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. It is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be dealt with. When we take notice of that signal and actually correct the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it. (愤怒可能会让人感到不舒服，但这也是正常和健康的。这是一种内在的情感，表明我们需要处理一些事情。当我们注意到这个信号并真正纠正问题而不是忽略它时，我们通常会变得更好。)”可知文章讲述愤怒可能会让人感到不舒服，并且从不同方面讲了该如何面对愤怒。C选项“处理愤怒的正确方式”符合文章主旨，故选C。

【36题详解】
考查时态、语态。句意：自1994年这个国际项目启动以来，已经制作了近50万张高质量的数码照片。根据时间状语从句since the international project started in 1994，主句用现在完成时，主语为Nearly 500,000 high quality digital photo-graphs，为复数，助动词为have，动词produce与主语之间为动宾关系，应用被动语态。故填have been produced。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 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。
My name is Maeli. I am so lucky, because I have Lizzy Jo. She is my cousin and my friend! We are close. We talk about everything from our dreams, our sad things to the things we value most such as her beautiful bracelets (手链) and my beads (有孔的珠子).
Yesterday our teacher brought out a big box just before the last bell rang. “I have a little gift for each of you,” she said. Then she gave each of us a perfect popcorn ball. Each popcorn ball was in clear bag that was tied with a ribbon (丝带). Just that little ribbon made the gift look so fancy! Sometimes, it’s the tiny details that make things special.
I happen to have a great appreciation for popcorn balls, so I was pleased. Lizzy Jo and I rode the bus home. The moment I was off the bus, I untied the ribbon and put it into my pocket. Then I took the popcorn ball out of the plastic bag. I didn’t even stop walking. Unfortunately, my feet were in a big hurry to get home, and sometimes when feet are in a hurry, they trip.
My feet tripped. I fell. And my perfect popcorn ball dropped right into a dirty puddle (水坑). I was okay, but my popcorn ball wasn’t. Have you ever seen a perfect popcorn ball in a dirty puddle? It isn’t something that you want to take a photo of and frame and keep forever.
I looked at my popcorn ball. That moment definitely was NOT the time to use the two second rule. Last week at my grandma’s house I used the two second rule. I accidentally dropped my cookie on her floor. I picked it up REALLY fast, and I admit that I ate that cookie. But this was a very different situation. This involved a puddle.
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。
I wanted to cry.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I went to my room and opened my box of beautiful beads.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: I wanted to cry. Maybe it’s silly to cry over a popcorn ball, but I was highly disappointed! Lizzy Jo gave me a hug. “Take mine,” she said. “But won’t you be sad without your popcorn ball?” I asked. “Well, losing something and giving something are two very different things. Giving mine doesn’t make me sad at all. Take it. I want you to have it,” said Lizzy Jo. Later that night I ate the popcorn ball. I looked at the ribbon. And I had an idea.
Paragraph 2: I went to my room and opened my box of beautiful beads. I chose the prettiest beads that I had. I used the ribbon from the bag on the popcorn ball and my beads to make a bracelet. It was attractive! I went next door to Lizzy Jo’s house. She smiled her biggest, happiest smile when she saw it. “Oh! The ribbon, so creative! You didn’t have to do that, you know, Thank you, Maeli!” she said. She gave me a hug. “Take it. I want you to have it,” I said with a smile.
