第二部分阅读（共两节,满分50分）
第一节（共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Deciduous forests（落叶林）are home to many wild animals. The development and expansion of human presence in the forests has caused many of their native species to become endangered.
Giant Panda
The giant panda, one of the most recognizable endangered species, is a large, docile species of bear native to the deciduous forest of eastern China Myanmar and Vietnam because of its limited diet—the panda’s main source of food is bamboo—the species is limited in its habitat to areas where bamboo is available. Now the species only can be found today in 20small patches of forest at the western edge of its historic range.
Gray and red wolves
The gray wolf, which once ranged from the East Coast of America to the west, and south to Mexico, now has a population of only 5,000 in the lower 48 states, mostly in the Rocky Mountains. The smaller red wolf, native to the southeastern United States, was declared extinct in the wild in 1980, though conservation efforts have reintroduced small captive populations to the wild in California.
Red-Crowned crane
The red-crowned crane is native to Japan, Korea and eastern China. Agricultural expansion and deforestation in these areas have removed a great deal of the marshes and forests that are the crane’s primary habitats. For a time, the crane was thought to have completely disappeared from Japan, but the recent discovery of cranes in Japanese marshlands has restarted conservation efforts. Today, around 2,500 cranes live in the wild, including 1,000 in Japan.
European Mink
Native to Europe, the European mink ranges from France in the west to Finland in the north, Russia in the cast and the Balkans in the south. Destruction of the mink habitat and use of the species for fur have caused dramatic drops in the species’ population, which has been reduced by 85 percent since the mid-19th century.
21. What has caused the wild animals to become endangered?
A. Global warming. B. International trade.
C. Environmental pollution. D. The invasion of mankind.
22. Which is mentioned as the reason for the decline of European minks?
A. The loss of their natural food. B. The hunting of human beings.
C. Drought and forest fire. D. Excessive deforestation.
23. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call for more efforts to protect forests. B. To study the living habits of wild animals.
C. To introduce some endangered species. D. To find ways to protect wild animals.
B
At an age where many of his contemporaries are winding down, Jo Schoonbroodt is somehow speeding up. On Sunday, the 71-year-old from the Netherlands, ran a marathon in 2hr 54min 19sec to become the fastest septuagenarian（70-90年龄组）in history.
A few days later, when the Times catches up with him, his achievement is still sinking in. “I only started jogging at 36 because my doctor told me I had high cholesterol（胆固醇）,” he says. “But last year I ran 7,242 kilometres, which is more than double what I did in my car.”
But the secrets of his success might surprise you. “Most runners train too hard. I do a lot of my training with groups who run very slowly. And then I build on these basics with some faster interval training.”
Schoonbroodt often runs at 9-or 10-minute mile pace, far slower than the 6.38min / mile he ran for 26.2 miles to set his world record, but he says the crucial thing is that he listens to his body. “A lot of people follow a training plan or coach and push on even when their body is saying: ‘No, this is not a good day to do it.’ But if you go out the door and just do what you feel, it`s easier to keep running and stay injury-free.”
Being a late bloomer（大器晚成）, he believes, has actually helped him because his ego（自我意识）never had to worry about chasing faster times of his youth. “Because I started so late, I missed my best years. But that’s no problem. Everything is still new to me.”
Schoonbroodt, meanwhile, has no plans to put his feet up. “My next marathon is in two and a half weeks, on an old Roman road built 2,000 years ago,” he says, the excitement obvious. It will be his third in 2023. And with that he is off. After all, the quest（追求）for another sub-three-hour marathon waits for no man. Not even one who is 71.
24. What message does Schoonbrodt`s story carry?
A. It is never too late to run. B. More haste, less speed.
C. Time waits for no man. D. An earlier bird catches the worm.
25. What is the secret behind Schoonbrodt`s success?
A. He competed with slower runners. B. He made full use of the intervals.
C. He trained in line with his condition. D. He ran faster in the races than in trainings.
26. Why is being a late bloomer helpful to Schoonbrodt?
A. He can draw lessons from other runners.
B. He has a strong desire to make up for the lost time.
C. He can equip himself with new running skills.
D. He has no youthful success to think back to.
27. How does Schoonbrodt talk about his next marathon?
A. He is unsure of winning it. B. He is eager to participate in it.
C. He has no plan to enter for it. D. He will not run it in three hours.
C
Officials in New York City are using technology to cut down on noise on city streets. Cameras equipped with radar（雷达）sound collectors identify loud vehicles in an effort to catch drivers violating（违反）noise rules. New York officials say at least 71 people have received tines for operating cars or trucks that make too much noise. The city’s Department of Environmental Protection now has plans to expand the use of technology to enforce（强制执行）noise rules.
City Council member Erik Bottcher told the Associated Press.（AP）vehicles with illegally changed parts can produce extremely loud sounds. He said they have been a growing problem in recent years. Bottcher supports the use of radar to reduce noise in the city.
New York City already has some of the strongest rules in the country aimed at limiting noise on city streets. It has set permissible noise levels for building-tools and vehicles. The new devices record the vehicle numbers of offenders, who then receive a violation notice in the mail. Owners face fines of 800 for their first noise offense. Some could. be required to pay up to $2,625 if they have three violations and ignore court hearings.
The AP says there is evidence to support the idea that noise affects not only hearing but also mood and mental health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDCP）even says there are possible links between noise and higher risks for heart disease and raised blood pressure.
However, some people in the city say the government efforts to quiet loud vehicles have gone too far. One person opposed to the policy is Phillip Franklin, a 30-year-old car lover from the Bronx area of New York. He launched an online effort to protest noise rules. “The majority of us. live here in New York City, where noise is a part of our daily lives,” said a document explaining. his effort. Franklin noted that quiet vehicles can also present dangers to inattentive individuals walking around New York City.
28. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. Technology is key in noise reduction.
B. Cases of violating noise rules are reduced.
C. More people will be punished for loud vehicles.
D. The efforts to identify loud vehicles seemed in vain.
29. What is a concern according to Bottcher?
A. The wide use of radar. B. Increasing loud vehicles.
C. The setting of noise levels. D. Illegally changed vehicles.
30. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To summarize the previous paragraphs. B. To provide some proof for the policy.
C. To add some background information. D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
31. What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A. Not all people approve of the noise rules.
B. New Yorkers are all used to loud noise.
C. Noise has nothing to do with high blood pressure.
D. Quiet vehicles will cause safety problems.
D
A new analysis of photographs from the International Space Station has identified a shift in the kind of lighting technologies that European countries are using at night to brighten streets and buildings. Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study, published in Science Advances, claimed that "this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems".
LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been counteracted by increased consumption of light.
The study also claimed that previous research into the effects of light pollution have underestimated the impacts of blue light radiation. Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin（褪黑素）that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people's sleeping habits.
The increase in blue light radiation in Europe has also reduced the visibility of stars in the night sky, which may have impacts on people's sense of nature. Blue light can also alter the behavioral patterns of animals including bats and moths, as it can change their movements towards or away from light sources.
David Smith, of the conservation charity Buglife, said, "Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths（带宽值）of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light."
32. What is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1?
A. The rising demand for public lighting.
B. The increasing use of LED lights.
C. Old street lights producing lots of emissions.
D. Artificial lights at night wasting much energy.
33. What does the underlined word "counteracted" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Judged. B. Maintained. C. Balanced. D. Strengthened.
34. In which aspect are people influenced by blue lights?
A. Sleep patterns. B. Eyesight.
C. Learning ability. D. Social behaviors.
35. Why does the author mention David Smith?
A. To stress the importance of saving energy.
B. To persuade authorities to avoid using LED lights.
C. To show ways of improving the quality of LED bulbs.
D. To provide suggestions on reducing light pollution.

What do you do when you get a headache, toothache, or fever? 36 Aspirin（阿司匹林）is a drug that has become more and more popular because it can help people with many illnesses. Today about 40,000 metric tons of aspirin are being consumed each year and it has become one of the most widely used medications in the world. Aspirin is effective to stop pain. 37 It is also used to stop fever and cold, and flu medicines also have aspirin in them. Moreover, small amounts of it can help prevent heart attacks, strokes and even cancer. One thing that aspirin does is that it makes the blood thinner, so the blood can move around the body more easily.
Is aspirin dangerous? Does aspirin have side effects? 38 Several hundred people die each year from taking too much aspirin. High-dose aspirin may cause stomach bleeding and tinnitus（耳鸣）. Some people are advised not to take low-dose aspirin, because it reduces uric acid excretion（尿酸排泄）. 39

I will never forget what happened when I was at the age of 10. It was one week before Children’s Day. I was looking forward to my gifts. Given the fact that I was the youngest in my family, the other members would like to give me a different gift. Whatever the gift was, I was always more than glad to accept them. Undoubtedly, I was being taken care of. Naturally, it was feeling so good.
In most cases, my uncles would ask me smilingly what I desired before Children’s Day and that year I was eagerly waiting to be asked. What a beautiful spaceship it was! That flashed across my eyes when I opened a big gift box. However, it greeted me against my expectation that year.
It was exactly one week before Children’s Day. Just one week, she could hardly wait. My dear mother told my father she, my future-to-be little sister, would come to the world. Immediately, we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had the little sister. I didn’t want her but I wanted a spaceship. The days that followed went so fast. No one was taking care of me. Everyone was talking about her. My life would go off the beaten track. I had no intention of being a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.
On the day before Children’s Day, everyone in my home was paying closer and closer attention to my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles asked me nothing about the gift again. She stole everything I’d ever had. My life and presents were completely spoiled. On thinking of this, I couldn`t help crying in the middle night sleep. Suddenly, I had a nightmare and was startled（吓一跳）awake. Shadows being all around me, I was defenseless and helpless. I rushed into my parents` bedroom but they were sleeping so soundly that I couldn’t wake them up. They were just stressed out and worn out. Standing near their bed, I tried not to cry when I saw her. She was wide awake, looking at me with her big eyes twinkling in her small bed.

32. B 解题思路: 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知, 通过对国际空间站拍摄的照片分析发现, 欧洲国家在夜间用来 照亮街道和建筑物的照明技术发生了变化。研究人员发现, 老式的温暖高压路灯正在迅速被较冷的 LED 灯所取 代。由此可知, 这种现象指的是 LED 灯使用越来越多, 故选 B 项。
33. C 解题思路: 词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知, LED 照明被宣传为旨在减少排放物, 但它的使用增加了能源消耗。对此的一种解释是: 电力效率的提高和相关经济成本的降低导致了照明需求的增加。由此看来, LED 灯的 使用并没有产生额外的益处。结合选项可推测, 画线词所在句表示任何效率的提高都被增加的光消耗“抵 消”了。C 项意为“抵消, 中和”, 故选 C 项。
34. A 解题思路: 细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Chief among the health consequences^can worsen people's sleeping habits. "可知, 蓝光对健康的主要影响是它会减少褪黑素的产生, 而褪黑素是一种调节人类和其他生 物睡眠模式的激素。科学研究表明, 人们长时间暴露在人造蓝光下会破坏睡眠习惯。由此可知, 蓝光会影响人 们的睡眠模式。故选 A 项。
35. D 解题思路: 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知, David Smith 表示光污染会极大地影响动物。我们应该从更 广泛的生物学角度来考虑光污染, 而不仅仅是人类角度。同时, 我们应该关注能与自然和谐共存的高质量照 明。高质量和低耗能的照明将有助于节约能源, 降低经济成本, 同时使我们的环境对生物更安全。他还表示当 局可以调暗夜间的灯光, 并调节 LED 灯泡的带宽值, 以减少有害的蓝光。由此可推知, 作者引用 David Smith 的话语旨在为减少光污染提供建议。故选 D 项。

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿司匹林这种药。
36. 根据下文“Aspirin（阿司匹林）is a drug that has become more and more popular because it can help people with many illnesses. （阿司匹林是一种越来越受欢迎的药物, 因为它可以帮助患有许多疾病的人）”可知, 下文提到了阿司匹林这种药。再结合上文“What do you do when you get a headache, toothache, or fever?（当你头痛、牙痛或发烧时, 你会怎么做? ）”推知, 在这些情况下如果你就医的话, 医生可能会给你开含有阿司匹林的药。F 项“Well, if you go to the doctor, you are likely to be given medicine with some aspirin in it. （嗯, 如果你去看医生, 医生可能会给你服用含有阿司匹林的药物）”符合语境, 承上启下。故选 F。
37. 根据下文“It is also used to stop fever and cold, and flu medicines also have aspirin in them. （它也被用来阻止发烧和感冒, 流感药物中也含有阿司匹林）”可知, 治疗流感的药物中也含有阿司匹林。结合上文“Aspirin is effective to stop pain. （阿司匹林对止痛很有效）”推知, 空处陈述某些止疼药里含有阿司匹林。D 项“Therefore, most headache medicines have aspirin in them. （因此, 大多数头痛药都含有阿司匹林）”符合题意。故选 D。
38. 根据上文“Is aspirin dangerous? Does aspirin have side effects?（阿司匹林有危险吗? 阿司匹林有副作用吗? ）”推知, 空处应是对这两个问题的回答。结合下文“Several hundred people die each year from taking too much aspirin. （每年有几百人因服用过量阿司匹林而死亡）”推知, 空处的回答应指出阿司匹林可能是有害的。E 项“Aspirin is a drug and like any other drug, it can be quite dangerous. （阿司匹林是一种药物, 和其他任何药物一样, 它可能非常危险）”符合题意。故选 E。
39. 空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“High-dose aspirin may cause stomach bleeding and tinnitus（耳鸣）. Some people are advised not to take low-dose aspirin, because it reduces uric acid excretion（尿酸排泄）. （大剂量阿司匹林可能导致胃出血和耳鸣。有些人被建议不要服用低剂量的阿司匹林, 因为它可以减少尿酸排泄）”可知, 服用大剂量和低剂量的阿司匹林都可能有害。由此推知, 空处应继续陈述阿司匹林不能使用的情况。G 项“Aspirin has also been removed from children`s medicines for fear of death from taking it. （由于担心服用阿司匹林会导致死亡, 阿司匹林也已从儿童药物中删除）”符合语境。故选 G。
40. 空处位于文末, 应是总结性语言。根据上文“But overall, aspirin is usually not dangerous for adults if it is taken in small amounts. Many people get help for various illnesses by taking a tablet that contains aspirin. （但总的来说, 如果少量服用阿司匹林, 通常对成年人没有危险。许多人通过服用含有阿司匹林的药片来治疗各种疾病）”可知, 阿司匹林能治疗各种疾病。由此可知, 这种药很神奇。A 项“It is truly an amazing drug for people. （对人们来说, 它真的是一种神奇的药物）”符合题意。故选 A。

读后续写范文:
All of a sudden, a slim shadow danced in the bedroom, startling her. In that split second, the slimly dancing shadow startled me. It took me what seemed a century to realize a tree waving in the violent wind was reflected on the window. Meanwhile, she began to cry, her mouth wide opening, arms waving and legs kicking. Obviously, she panicked too. Startled as I was, I tiptoed closer to her little bed, held out my hand to stroke hers, patted her on the back with the other. She stopped crying knowingly and grinned from ear to ear with her eyes twinkling again. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Having comforted her, I felt some change slowly happened to me. My loneliness was disappearing out of nowhere now. Instead, a sense of responsibility as an elder brother was overwhelming me. Not only did her arrival take over the center of the whole family initially but also she started to become the center of my attention too. Her cute round face and sparkling eyes arrested my love for her. I looked around and found parents awake and smiling at me warmly. It was just at that moment that a shadow of a happy family dancing in the gentle wind was reflected on the window. It was just at that moment that I knew from the bottom of my heart that my little sister was the best gift I`d ever got.

M: European universities and universities in the United States differ in many ways.
First, European students enroll in fewer courses each term than United States students do. Second, European students seldom live on a university campus. Instead, they live at home and travel to classes. Third, most Europe-an courses are for the most time lectures given by professors while professors in the United States spend much less time lecturing; instead, they often ask their students questions and divide their students into discussion groups. What’s more, at most American universities, social activities take up a large part of the students’ time; but in Europe, unlike in the United States, a university is mainly a place to study. Above all, European students’ final examinations are usually oral, whereas American students take more written final examinations.
