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

Newsweek has released a list of 100 famous spots in its latest issue and says all of them may not exist in the future because of various reasons.

Kauai, Hawaii, U. S.

Kauai is the oldest and fourth largest of Hawaiian Islands. Most of this island lies in the mist (雾 气) all year round. The thick forests are home to the colorful Hawaiian honeycreeper, an endangered bird species. Even the tiny fall or rise of the sea level will cause large changes on the island, which put the island’s ecosystem under severe stress.

Caribbean Sea

Four types of endangered sea turtles (龟) live here. The rising sea levels and the pollution of the oceans can destroy the beach, where the female sea turtles lay eggs. Unlike other animals, the sex of a sea turtle depends on the temperature at which the turtle hatches (孵化). The temperature for female sea turtles to hatch is above 31℃, and male below 27.7℃. Scientists worry the cut of male turtles can threaten the species’ survival.

Recife, Brazil

Recife in northeastern Brazil is a business center and also a great destination of tourists, who visit here for the sunny weather and white-sand beaches. Due to its nonstop coastal development, now Recife is highly weak to the threats of rising sea levels, hurricanes and storms. The reduce of coral reefs (珊瑚礁) also exposes the whole city to flooding.

Chicago, Illinois, U. S.

Since founded in the 1830s, the “Windy City” Chicago has become the center of transportation, industry, finance and entertainment in the Midwest of U.S. Nowadays, more than 2.6 million residents live in the modern area, making it the third most populous city in U.S. In the coming years, Chicago will suffer from gradual increase in heat waves and flooding.

21. What is the climate like on Kauai?

A. Sunny. B. Dry. C. Foggy. D. Changeable.

22. What can cause the unequal rate between male and female turtles?

A. The global warming.

B. The rising sea levels.

C. The gradual disappearance of their habitats.

D. The female sea turtles stopping laying eggs.

23. What do the four places have in common?

A. They are home to honeycreepers.

B. They are endangered coastal areas.

C. They are faced with overpopulation.

D. They are free from human activities.

B

Change is as good as a rest, as the old saying goes. Lucy Kellaway took this to extremes when she left to train as a teacher in her nearly sixth decade, after about 30 years working as a journalist.

Doing the same thing in the three decades was simply too long for her, according to Lucy. “I was no longer interested in my job and wanted to do something more useful and purposeful with my life, ”Lucy explains. “I was then aged fifty-seven and had spent almost my whole adult life doing one thing. ”

Lucy tried ringing the government’s helpline and discovered there was no maximum age restraint to train as a teacher. Then she met Katie Waldegrave, a social entrepreneur turned teacher, at a party. ”We met the following morning and talked and talked. We concluded that young graduates had long been the obvious recruiting (征募) into the profession. A new model for entering teaching was needed for career changers. By the time I left that conversation, Now Teach had probably been born, a professional online teacher training program for career-changers in teaching. ”

So successful was the program that it attracted the support of the Department for Education. Further state funding has seen the program rolled out across the country. “We’re delighted by its success. The best aspect of my job that the program brings me is that it makes me optimistic about the future and sometimes makes me feel I’m making a big difference to their lives. ”Lucy goes on, “We have helped 650 people with all sorts of backgrounds to bring their various experiences to secondary schools. ”

For anyone interested in teaching, Lucy tells them to experience school life first. “Go and visit two schools. Spend quality time in the classrooms of the subjects you think you may teach and find out if it seems right for you. You may not get it right at first. ”While Lucy loved her new career, she found teaching maths wasn’t her true calling, so she swapped to teaching economics instead.

24. Why did Lucy want to change her job?

A. She failed to get well-paid.

B. She was bored with the job.

C. She wanted to have a rest for a while.

D. She couldn’t balance her life and work.

25. What does the underlined word ”restraint“ in paragraph 3 mean?

A Limit. B. Concern. C. Difference. D. Advantage.

26. How does Lucy feel about Now Teach?

A. Challenging. B. Disappointing. C. Worrying, D. Meaningful.

27. What did Lucy want to do in the last paragraph?

A. Introduce how to get a degree certificate for teaching.

B. Share her personal experience of applying for a teacher.

C. Offer suggestions to those considering being a teacher.

D. Explain the reasons why she wanted to become a teacher.

C

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.

Christopher Kyba, an astronomer with the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, led his team studying over 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 Rain Forest, 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.

28. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?

A. By giving examples.

B. By offering evidence.

C By making comparison.

D. By bringing up the issue.

29. What can be inferred from Kyba’s words?

A. Light pollution is becoming serious.

B. Adults are easier to see stars than kids.

C. Stars are becoming fewer year by year.

D. Kids are losing interest in watching stars.

30. What effect may light pollution cause?

A. Turtles are forced to hatch at sea.

B. Humans produce more melatonin.

C. Bats can get lost during the flight.

D. Birds in cities wake up much later.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. A New Origin of Light Pollution

B. Light Is Making Stars Unobserved

C. Ways to Deal with Light Pollution

D. Light Causes Human Sleep Issues

D

Staying in hospital can be difficult for patients, often causing fear and anxiety, especially in younger individuals. These emotions can easily take over, but hospitals in Richmond, Virginia, have programs to relieve some of the stress and create moments of joy.

Due to a program called Dogs On Call provided by the non-profit organization Center for Human-Animal Interaction, at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, the sound of dogs coming down the hallway creates an atmosphere of excitement among child patients. For 21 years, the volunteer-run program has been connecting dogs with those in need of an inspiring moment.

With the necessary registration steps, dogs and handlers can participate in weekly visits to the hospital. Besides the scheduled visits, parents or children can request a specific team to visit their rooms.

“When a patient interacts with a dog, it can decrease blood pressure and reduce pain,” says Nancy R. Gee, executive director of the center. Their faces change just for a moment. They’re not thinking about their health situation or their pain. Just for that moment, they’re just kids with a dog.

Instead of Dogs On Call, Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital of Richmond provides Happy Wheels, a program in which a cart full of treats and other items rolling through the halls of the hospital. The volunteer-run program visits four times a week. They go from room to room to hand out toys, coffee, snacks, and other comfort items. All of the items found in the cart are donated to the program and handed out to families in all children’s care units.

“It’s an opportunity for the children to be children and to get excited about a new toy coming in their rooms, ”says Laura Gepford, child life specialist at St. Mary’s Hospital. “Besides the fevers, the medicine and all the difficult things that occur in the hospital, they have the shining of happy moments. That’s what people hold onto. ”

32. What do we know about the program Dogs On Call?

A. Dogs might frighten the child patients.

B. Dog visits must follow a fixed schedule.

C. It gives mental treatment to the child patients.

D. It is financially supported by the government.

33. What does Nancy R Gee mean in paragraph 4?

A. Children care for dogs by nature.

B. Children’s moods are changeable.

C. Children are too young to take their illness seriously.

D. Children’s spirits are lifted by the dogs’ companion.

34. What is Laura Gepford’s attitude to the Happy Wheels program?

A. Concerned. B. Appreciative. C. Dissatisfied. D. Doubtful.

35. How do the two programs in the text help?

A. By bringing patients comfort and cheer.

B. By changing people’s attitude to illness.

C. By telling people the importance of play.

D. By guiding parents to better comfort kids.

67. 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。

Daniel got a job as a delivery man to work his way through college. His parents couldn’t save up all the money he needed to get into law school, so since he was 16, he has been taking summer jobs to earn extra money.

The boy usually wakes up at 5 am in summer or winter, riding his rusty (生锈的)old bike delivering packages. It isn’t an easy job, especially during winter. Besides that, his old bike is slow, making things harder. But that isn’t a problem for Daniel. ”Come on, boy! We can do this, “he says to himself.

Daniel’s route is always the same and people in the neighborhood have already known him. He calls them by their names, and they often wave and greet him as he passes.

One day, Daniel came to McReynolds’ house. He parked his bike at the doorstep. He rang the doorbell but no one answered. He tried again, still no answer. Then he left the parcel at the doorstep.

As Daniel jumped back on his bike, he noticed his bike broken down. ”Bad luck!“But as he turned around, he saw a strange man secretly looked around and placed a package under his jacket. Daniel shouted at the man, ”Hey there! What are you doing? That’s not yours!“

The man saw Daniel and started to run. Daniel looked at his broken bike helplessly and ran fast after the man, shouting, ”Stop!Thief!“When the man saw that Daniel was gaining on him, he threw the package at him. Daniel caught it, but he didn’t give up the chase. Then the man tripped over a stone and fell on the floor. Daniel came a few seconds later and got him.

The ruckus (喧闹) alarmed all the neighbors. Then the police were called. McReynolds came out from the house, ”I couldn’t get the door when you rang because I was taking a shower. Thank you for stopping him!“ Daniel smiled back at her and was turning around to leave.

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。

When Daniel was to pick up his bike, he heard a voice behind him, “Wait!”

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Minutes later, McReynolds returned, with a beautiful blue bike.
