According to Alm, each diagnosis(诊断)is unique. That can make it difficult to understand a child’s learning needs. Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia.The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability.Dyslexia means a person has trouble processing written words due to the difficulty of identifying speech sounds. Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read. But she adds that many people with dyslexia are extremely creative and smart. Whoopi Goldberg, Dav Pilkey and Steven Spielberg are among the famous Americans who have dyslexia.For Alm, the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic. She believes that it’s helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad, ”she says.“ So children don’t need to feel shameful and embarrassed.”Alm and the other co-founders of Dyslexia Road host community events to share resources about dyslexia. On March 2, the organization celebrated its launch with a community gathering. Many people turned up, suggesting to Alm the “power of community”. Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.“We’re excited to get out there and start pushing forward so that people can come together and figure out how to direct this journey,” Alm says.4. What do the co-founders of Dyslexia Road have in common?A. Their kids are unique and perfect.B. Their kids have the same problem.C. They suffer from learning disability.D. They ignore children’s learning needs.5. What does Alm suggest doing for people with dyslexia?A. Helping them do more brain exercises.B. Making them realise they lack creativity.C. Creating special reading materials for them.D. Encouraging them to turn to their own families.6 What does the underlined word “stigma” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Shame. B. Selection.C. Principle D. Origin.7 What’s the purpose of hosting the three additional events?A. To find out kids with dyslexia.B. To provide the professional servicesC. To sell books about mental disability.D. To introduce great people with dyslexia.【答案】4. B    5. A    6. A    7. B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是克莉丝汀·阿尔姆拥有随时准备帮助他人的美德，她是“阅读障碍之路”的联合创始人，也是四个患有阅读障碍的孩子的母亲。她与其他创始人开创该项目帮助那些具有同样“阅读障碍”的孩子们，并且指导他们能够更好的走完这段旅途。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Christine Alm, who has the virtue of being ready to help others, is the co-founder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia. (克莉丝汀·阿尔姆拥有随时准备帮助他人的美德，她是“阅读障碍之路”的联合创始人，也是四个患有阅读障碍的孩子的母亲。)”以及“Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia. The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability. (Alm最近与另外三位孩子也患有阅读障碍的母亲共同创立了“阅读障碍之路”。这家非营利组织为有学习障碍的儿童提供学习资源。)”可知，阅读障碍之路的联合创始人的孩子们都有着同样的问题即阅读障碍。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read. (阿尔姆解释说，患有阅读障碍的人需要更多的帮助来训练他们的大脑阅读。)”可知，对于阅读障碍，阿尔姆建议他们需要更多的帮助来训练他们的大脑阅读。根据故选A。【6题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“She believes that it’s helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad, ”she says.“ So children don’t need to feel shameful and embarrassed.”(她认为开诚布公的讨论很有帮助。她说：“阅读障碍没有好坏之分。”“所以孩子们不需要感到羞耻和尴尬。”)”可知，阿尔姆认为阅读障碍没有好坏之分，故当谈论该话题的时候，不要感到羞耻和尴尬，她之所以这样说，是为了解决她的自己孩子在解决“阅读障碍”过程中面临的最大挑战，即当谈论话题时，孩子们会感觉到羞耻。故划线词的含义与A选项“shame(羞愧)”为同义词。故选A。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.”（阅读障碍之路还将举办另外三项活动，将家庭与学习专家联系起来。客人将讨论可用的教育选项、如何获得诊断评估等。此外，阅读障碍之路网站还提供书籍等资源。）最后一段“We’re excited to get out there and start pushing forward so that people can come together and figure out how to direct this journey,” Alm says.(“我们很高兴能走出去，开始向前推进，这样人们就可以走到一起，找出如何指导这段旅程，” 阿尔姆说。)”可知，之所以举办另外三个活动其目的是为了给同样遭遇的人们做出合理的指导，为他们提供专业的支持和帮助，这样能够更合理的解决“阅读障碍”这个问题。故选B。CThe Masai(马赛人) are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their livelihood. They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. They like drinking the cows’ milk.They don’t kill their cattle for food. But if a cow is killed, the parts of its body are used to make containers, shoes, clothin,  ropes, bed coverings and so on. Not all of the men have cows. The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. Rich men have a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man’s entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal’s special voice.The Masai men have become known as warriors(勇士), protecting their cattle against other wild animals. They wear their red long hair. Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. They also make necklaces dresses and headdresses. A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough. They speak a language called Maa.The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass, which are held together with a mixture of mud, are not very firm or safe. These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village. They are not meant to last long since the migration(迁徙) of the cow population means that the Masai move as well. In the meantime, in order to prevent animals from entering, they also form a wall of branches. The whole setup is to protect the cattle, which sleep at night in the middle of the village. They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilisation.8. What do we know about the Masai?A. They don’t move in their lives.B. They each have their own cows.C. They don’t kill their cattle at all.D. They are heavily dependent on cattle.9. What do most of the Masai women work as?A. Designers. B. Authorities.C. Housewives. D. Warriors.10. Which word best describes Masai houses?A. Modern. B. Lasting C. Simple. D. Safe.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Africans: Living a Moving lifeB. Africans: Brave People in the WorldC. The Masai: Rich People in East AfricaD. The Masai: Maintaining a Traditional Lifestyle【答案】8. D    9. C    10. C    11. D【解析】【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了东非马赛人传统的生活方式。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. (他们在生活的许多方面都依赖他们的牛。)”可知，马赛人严重依赖牛，故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. (大多数妇女经常在家照顾她们的孩子，做饭，洗衣服和做衣服。)”可推知，大多数马赛妇女扮演着家庭主妇的角色，故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village.(这些带有一些基本生活用品的平房围成一个圈，构成了一个马赛村。)”可知，马赛人的房屋很简陋，由此可推知，C项“Simple.(简朴的)”这个词最能描述马赛人的房子，故选C。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了东非马赛人传统的生活方式。D项“马赛人：保持传统生活方式”适合作文章的标题，故选D。DObjects 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 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 rainforest, 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.12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?A. By asking a question.B. By referring to a study.C. By making comparisons.D. By showing experiments.13. What can be inferred from Kyba’s words?A. Light pollution is becoming serious.B. Stars are becoming fewer year by year.C. Kids are losing interest in watching stars.D. It’s easier for adults to see stars than kids.14. What effect may light pollution cause?A. Humans produce more melatonin.B. Turtles are forced to hatch at sea.C. Birds in cities wake up much later.D. Bats can get lost during the flight.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. Pollution does affect children.B. Light causes human sleep problems.C. Light pollution is making stars disappear.D. There are some ways to deal with light pollution.【答案】12. B    13. A    14. D    15. C【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了灯光让人们看不见天上的星星。【12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.”（一项新的研究表明，由于光污染，夜空中的物体正在从人们的视野中消失。来自路灯、办公楼和汽车前灯的户外照明导致天空不那么亮，也就是夜空变亮的时候。夜晚越亮，就越难从地球上看到恒星和行星。）可推知，作者通过参考研究来引出文章的主题。故选B项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中““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，“一个出生在可以看到250颗星星的地方的孩子，到18岁时只能看到100颗星星。”）可知，从Kyba的话中可以推断出光污染越来越严重。故选A项。【14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。这也给动物带来了问题。在夜间活动动物，如蝙蝠，会感到困惑并撞向物体。）可知，光污染或许使蝙蝠在飞行过程中可能会迷路。故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“The brighter it is at night, the harder it is to see stars and planets from Earth.”（夜晚越亮，就越难从地球上看到恒星和行星。）和第二段中“Christopher Kyba, an astronomer with the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, led his team studying 50,000 star observations between 2011 and 2022.”（Christopher Kyba是GFZ德国地球科学研究中心的天文学家，他带领他的团队研究了2011年至2022年期间的5万次恒星观测。）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。所以文章的主旨是“光污染正在使星星消失”。故选C项。第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。Whether in work or study, great people always do things as effectively as possible.

Take a break at the same time each day, despite just 10 minutes.F. You should be energetic all day and spare no effort to finish your work.G. Here are some habits you can start practicing to become more productive.【答案】16. G    17. C    18. A    19. E    20. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一些有助于提高我们工作效率的好习惯。【16题详解】由上文“Whether in work or study, great people always do things as effectively as possible. Productive (高效的) people have one thing in common: A solid routine made up of small habits that helps them to keep a healthy mindset and lifestyle. Research shows a habit takes about 2l days to become normal behavior.(无论是在工作还是学习中，伟大的人总是尽可能有效地做事。有效率的人有一个共同点：一个由小习惯组成的坚实的日常生活，帮助他们保持健康的心态和生活方式。研究表明，一个习惯大约需要2天才能成为正常行为。)”可知，上文主要讲习惯是让人保持高效率的重要因素，而G项Here are some habits you can start practicing to become more productive.(以下是一些你可以开始练习的习惯，以提高工作效率。)符合语境，有承上启下作用，其中productive和上文effectively对应，且Here are some habits有启下作用。故选G项。【17题详解】由下文“Some people prefer to make their to-do lists first thing in the morning, while others like to do them each night to prepare for the day ahead. As a matter of fact, either way helps you to manage your time and workload efficiently.(有些人喜欢在早上第一件事就是列出待办事项清单，而另一些人则喜欢每晚都这样做，为下一天做准备。事实上，无论哪种方式，都可以帮助您有效地管理时间和工作量。)”可知，这里主要讲待办事项清单可以帮助有效地管理时间和工作量，而C项Making a list of tasks for the day helps you to stay on track.(列出一天的任务有助于你保持正轨。)符合语境，有启下作用，其中a list of tasks 和下文make their to-do lists对应。故选C项。【18题详解】由下文“Writing down your thoughts in your diary can help you achieve goals. You should even write down your progress, no matter how small it is, to help motivate you to keep going. (把你的想法写在日记里可以帮助你实现目标。你甚至应该写下你的进步，无论它有多小，以帮助激励你继续前进。)”可知，作者这里鼓励读者写日记，所以A项Keep a journal.(记日记。)对下文有总结作用，其中a journal与下文your diary对应。故选A项。【19题详解】由上文“Have a rest(休息一下)”以及下文“ When coming back, you’ll become clear-headed and happy, leading to greater productivity than just rushing through it.(当你回来的时候，你会变得头脑清醒，心情愉快，从而提高工作效率，而不仅仅是匆匆忙忙。)”可知，本段主要讲注意休息以及休息的益处，而E项Take a break at the same time each day, despite just 10 minutes.(每天在同一时间休息，尽管只有10分钟。)符合句意，由承上启下作用，其中Take a break和上文Have a rest对应。故选E项。【20题详解】由上文“Clean up and organize for tomorrow. (打扫卫生，为明天做好准备。)”以及下文“However, tidying up your home and preparing for tomorrow can prevent stress. This daily maintaining can ensure that you do not have to spend an entire afternoon cleaning during the weekend.(然而，整理一下你的家，为明天做准备可以防止压力。这种日常维护可以确保你在周末不必花整个下午的时间打扫卫生。)”可知，作者这里建议读者打扫卫生，而D项After a long day, the last thing you may want to do is clean.(经过漫长的一天，你可能最不想做的事就是清洁。)符合语境，其中clean与上文Clean up对应，且与下文代词It对应。故选D项。第三部分  语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.This morning, my daughter, Helen, and I arrived at a town in Xi’an, China.

When coming to this city for high school, I moved into the new house with my parents. We were very grateful to the owner for renting us this house at a cheap price. The house was really comfortable to live in. It was warm inside and full of life outside. A tree in the front yard attracted my attention, and all I could confirm was that it was a fruit tree. My father thought it was a fig(无花果) tree, and sure enough, as the months went by, the tree grew huge leaves and finally bore the fruit—figs, the size of my fist. How wonderful they were! I took many pictures of the fig tree. And then we wondered how to deal with the figs. My mother thought for a while and said, “Why not try making fig jam?” I responded quickly, “That’s a good idea!” Jack, one of our neighbors, just visited us and asked if he could pick some figs from our tree. Certainly, we encouraged him to take as many as he liked. In fact, Jack was extremely polite and friendly to us. He introduced himself at the first sight of us. He always waved to me as he came home or as he left for work. When I picked the figs with him, he told me about how he had been living in the house next door for close to twenty years. He said, “Bruce, the owner of the house you live in now, used to be my best friend. And we had planted this very fig tree a few years before he went to the nursing home.” I was amazed to know that we actually enjoyed the fruit of his work. He told me that he was so impressed by the quality of the fruit this year. I found a fruit box for him to put the figs in. Both of us enjoyed the pleasure of sharing. When Jack set out for his home, I turned to my parents and advised doing something in return for Jack and Bruce’s kindness and friendliness. 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 called him and talked about it, and he accepted the invitation with pleasure. After school, I went to the supermarket to help my parents buy lots of food materials. And I specially bought a toy for Jack’s little baby. My mother prepared a bottle of fig jam for dinner. We cooked a big meal together at home. Jack’ family arrived on time. We shared the delicious food happily. After dinner, we talked about Bruce. We all thought it was him who planted this fig tree that brought us together. So we were determined to thank him. The next day, our family and Jack visited Bruce in the nursing home. When Bruce saw us, he jumped with joy like a child. My mother reminded me and said, “Dear, give Bruce a surprise.” I pulled out my phone and showed him the pictures of the fig tree. I also handed a basket of sweet figs to him. He was particularly pleased to see the fig tree. He thanked me for taking good care of it. I swore that I would always treasure it. And all of us promised to see him more often. We had such a close relationship with him, like a family.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和一家搬家到新房子，院子里的一颗无花果给作者带来很多快乐，无花果接了很多果实，邻居杰克告诉作者这是他和原来的房主布鲁斯一起种下了这个无花果，作者向父母建议做些什么来回报杰克和布鲁斯的善良和友好。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“最后，我们决定邀请杰克和他的家人当晚共进晚餐。”可知，第一段可描写作者一家招待杰克一家的过程以及他们聊起了布鲁斯，决定去感谢他。
