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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It takes a special person to travel with kids—a parent.Children have their own needs.Their idea of a vacation is more“adventurous”than a parent’s.They need constant inspiration and they can get as tired as they are tiring.
Make sure you have plenty of room while traveling
If you are driving,get a mini-van.Sure,you might be more of a“car”type,and you might have resisted buying a mini—van so far.But pick up a rental van for the vacation just to give the kids a little more room for fighting.
Accommodations along the way can be tricky.Usually it involves a crowded motel for just long enough to sleep,then back in the crowded car.This is not anybody’s idea of a home away from home.An accommodation alternative is to camp,but not everyone enjoys a good early morning wake-up wrestle with a bear as much as I do,so a motel might be required.
Make sure you have plenty of room when you“get there”
Assuming you are actually heading for a destination,make sure to have lots of room when you get there.This part is easy.But it requires thinking outside the box.Forget hotels,motels,and inns.Look for private rental homes.
Probably the biggest destination for families is Walt Disney World in Florida.Good news—Orlando,Kissimmee and the surrounding area is full of private vacation homes for rent.In Florida they call them vacation villas,and they offer all the space of home.
Be prepared for“children being children”events
Sometimes,stress hits you from behind when the unexpected happens.Like a cut or a scrape…or a child getting sick.Sharon Baillie told me that is why she tells all her villa rental guests where the first-aid case can be found,and exactly where to go for medical attention.This is particularly helpful for her many guests from abroad,who are unfamiliar with the US healthcare system.
Booking tickets to theme parks and making reservations for just about everything in advance makes the trip less stressful.Try having your children baby-sat.Hire a local baby-sitter once or twice.Vacation Home owners can set this up for you,and some hotels might be willing to,too.
21.Where does the author prefer to rest on the way to the destination?
A.In a camp. B.In a mini-van. C.At a motel. D.In a car.
22.What does the underlined word“this”in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Booking tickets in advance. B.Hiring a baby-sitter.
C.Making reservations ahead of time. D.Looking for a tour guide.
23.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce ways of travelling.
B.To advertise vacation homes for tourists.
C.To reduce the stress while traveling abroad.
D.To show how to travel comfortably with kids.
B
The birth of a healthy calf is certainly something to celebrate on a farm but one calf gave farmers Megan and Barry Coster even more to smile about. That’s because the Holstein calf was born with markings that look like a smiley face.
The Costers’ Bellbrook Holsteins farm in Ripplebrook, West Gippsland in Australia breeds around 700 calves a year, but they have never seen anything like this before.
When Barry Coster was checking the herd (牛群) during his morning rounds on March10, 2023, he came across the calf — now named Happy — and was surprised to see a face smiling at him. He was so shocked that he took a photo and sent it to his wife. “We’ve seen some number sevens or love hearts on the head and a few strange markings, but we’ve never seen anything that looks like a smiley face before, ” Megan Coster said.
At first, the Costers were going to keep Happy on the farm where he would be a life-long pet but after the news about this unique calf got out, the couple was bombarded (轰炸) by media from around the world. That was when they decided Happy should go on to do great things. So they started looking for a buyer for the calf but the Costers were not looking to make a profit from the sale. The money was donated to the West Gippsland Hospital that is being redeveloped and upgraded.
Farm World, a field day event held at Lardner Park purchased Happy who will now live out his days at the park which consists of a 120-hectare working farm that has livestock so Happy will have plenty of company. And the farm is located just around the corner from his birthplace.
“Happy is adjusting well, eating well, and has a great temperament (性情),” Craig Debnam, Lardner Park’s officer said. “With about 40, 000 to 50, 000 visitors coming through the gates to see ‘Happy’ this weekend, we know Happy will put a smile on everybody’s face,” he said.
24.What can we know about the calf?
A.He was born on a special day. B.He was born to a great parent.
C.He has a love heart on the head. D.He was born with a smiley face.
25.How did Barry Coster feel when he first saw the calf on March 10?
A.Frightened. B.Astonished. C.Excited. D.Unbelievable.
26.Why did Barry Coster look for a buyer for the calf Happy?
A.To make a profit. B.To find Happy a new home.
C.To make Happy more popular. D.To let Happy do more meaningful things.
27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Happy doesn’t adapt to his new life. B.Happy misses his owners very much.
C.Happy leads a comfortable life in the park. D.Happy is too tired to respond to so many visitors.

It’s the end of August, and it’s time to start thinking about going back to school. For some, it’s a very exciting time. For others, however, they can feel very stressful. There are lots of things to do if you want to have a great first day at school.
Stay busy throughout the summer holiday. Usually those who struggle (挣扎) on their first days are people who spend too much of their summer holiday indoors and relaxing. So you should try to stay active and busy over the course of the holiday. There are lots of things you can do, such as getting a summer job or taking up a sport.
Continue learning over the summer holiday. People who struggle the most at first are those who aren’t learning over the holiday. Learning itself doesn’t have to be boring! You can learn about anything you want. Simply keeping your brain in the habit of learning will give you an extra advantage when it’s time to go back to school.
Spend time with friends that will attend the same school. If you have any friends living in the same neighborhood, there are chances that you will go to the same school! Make a point of creating stronger bonds (关系) with those friends. Spend part of your summer holiday with them, and grow closer. While there’s always some worry about going into the first day of school, having friends around that care about you makes it much easier.
Buy your school supplies. The most important thing you can do in preparation for your first day is make sure you have all of the equipment you need. Though the types of materials you’ll need differ from class to class, certain things, like pens and paper, will be used for all classes.

C.Friends can accompany you to spend the long holiday.

A new study published in Thursday’s edition of Cell reports that mosquitoes’ sense of smell is more complex than we once thought. And it may explain how they are so good at seeking us out in the darkness and lead to new strategies to fight against the potentially deadly diseases caused by their bites.
Until Meg Younger, co-author of the study, and her colleagues started studying mosquitoes, it’s long been known that mosquitoes rely on multiple clues to target humans, First, they will sense the CO2 in the breath from a distance that can be more than 30 feet. After the CO2, then they begin to sense human body smells. They follow the odors(气味) and, when they get very close, start to detect body heat. Once they land on the skin, they look for a place to bite with their legs.
In many parts of the world, their bites may lead to such diseases as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and malaria. The latter disease alone causes over half a million deaths each year around the globe.
“But most of what we know about mosquitoes’ sense of smell comes from the study of the brains of mice and fruit flies, where the pathways between the brain and smell detectors are fairly simple: Each neuron(神经元) in their smell detectors just responds to a single kind of smell and all the neurons for that smell are connected to the same part of their brains. Of course, there are countless different detectors responding to countless smells,” says Younger. “When we started looking inside mosquito brains, we found that each neuron can detect multiple smells.”
“It’s a great breakthrough,” says Josefina del Marmol, a scientist at the Harvard Medical School who wasn’t involved with the research. “It will change a lot about what we know of how mosquitoes interact with the world and give researchers additional ways to fight the bugs. But there’s more work to be done to test, neuron by neuron, which neuron actually responds to which human body smells.”
32.What can be learned about mosquitoes from paragraph 2?
A.They look for a place to bite with their eyes.
B.They can only detect humans within 30 feet.
C.They are first attracted by human body smells.
D.They are more sensitive to the CO2 in the breath.
33.Which disease causes more than 0.5 million deaths each year in the world?
A.Malaria. B.Zika. C.Dengue. D.Chikungunya.
34.What is Meg Younger’s new discovery?
A.The pathways in the brains of mice are fairly simple.
B.A neuron in mosquitoes’ detectors can detect many smells.
C.All the neurons for a smell are connected to the same part of the brain.
D.The neurons in fruit flies’ brains just respond to a single kind of smell.
35.What does Josefina del Marmol say about the new study?
A.The process is not very complete. B.The conclusion is not very reliable.
C.More specific tests have to be done. D.The research method is too complex.

One of the biggest causes of back injury at work is lifting or handling objects incorrectly, and many people have ever experienced such cases now and then while dealing with heavy objects. 36
Think before you lift Plan the lift. 37 Where is the load (负载) going to be placed?Are the obstacles (障碍物) such as deserted outer packing in your way? For long lifts, such as from floor to shoulder height, consider resting the load mid-way on a table or bench to change your hold on it.
Keep the load close to the waist Keep the load close to the waist for as long as possible while lifting to reduce the amount of pressure on the back. 38 If closely approaching the load isn’t possible, try to slide it towards the body before trying to lift it.
Adopt a stable position Your feet should be apart with one leg slightly forward to keep balance. 39 Wearing over-tight clothing or unsuitable footwear, such as high heels, may make this difficult.
40 Don’t lift or handle more than you can easily manage. There’s a difference between what people can lift and what they can safely lift. If you’re in doubt, seek advice or get help.
A.Know your limits.
B.Will help be needed with the load?
C.Why not ask someone else to help?
D.Recognize your strengths and weaknesses.
E.Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the body.
F.Learning some correct methods can help prevent injury or a back pain.
G.Be prepared to move your feet during the lift to maintain a stable position.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Sally had anxiety disorder trouble that made her fail to speak in social situations. I’m a nurse and use Bella to help children in my community, to bring them comfort and confidence the way only a dog can. I thought back to the day when I’d first brought Bella to the school.
That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room. “Sally hasn’t spoken outside her home in two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when she noticed my dog.
“This is Bella,” I said. “She does tricks. Would you like to see?”
Sally nodded. I motioned with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally’s eyes lit up. I showed Sally the hand signals for various commands. She was a natural for Bella, maybe because she couldn’t rely on the spoken word herself. Bella sensed that and responded. Soon Sally was able to put Bella through her paces all on her own. I could see her standing taller, more sure of herself each time we met.
One morning in March when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a whisper, “Good dog.” Sally didn’t take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose.
Now, five-year-old Sally stood nervously in front of her kindergarten class, with Bella, my trained dog, sitting calmly by her side. All the eyes of her classmates were focused on Sally. They were waiting for her to speak. It was June-only one week of school left-but they had never heard her voice. Not once.
Paragraph 1:
But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class.

Paragraph 2:
The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination.

【原文】W: Dave, what about going to Maya Bay in Thailand for a holiday this year? The magazine says it’s a very famous beach in the country.
M: I know that beach. It made headlines in 1999 when some people arrived there to film the famous Hollywood movie The Beach. Since then, tourists have flooded in this beach with as many as 4.000 visitors arriving on boats every day.
W: That’s really hard to believe.

21.A 22.B 23.D
【分析】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了如何和孩子们一起舒适地旅行。
21.推理判断题。根据Make sure you have plenty of room while traveling部分的An accommodation alternative is to camp,but not everyone enjoys a good early morning wake-up wrestle with a bear as much as I do,so a motel might be required.(一种住宿选择是露营,但并不是每个人都像我一样喜欢早起与熊搏斗,所以可能需要一个汽车旅馆)可推知,在去目的地的路上作者更愿意在帐篷里休息。故A选项正确。
22.代词指代题。根据划线词前文Hire a local baby-sitter once or twice.(雇用一两次当地的保姆)及划线词所在句Vacation Home owners can set this up for you,and some hotels might be willing to,too.(度假屋的主人可以为你安排这个,一些酒店可能也愿意)可知,this指的是雇用当地保姆这件事。故B选项正确。
23.写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了如何和孩子们一起舒适地旅行。故D选项正确。
【点睛】代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象,包括考查it(指动物,无生命的事物、特定的事件或人),they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词),he/she等人称代词的指代意义,以及指示代词this,that,these,those等在文章中的指代意义,考查同学们对文章中叙述特定的人,物,事件的认知能力。解答这类题时,同学们要认真阅读画线词所在句和前后临近句的内容,分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程,理清来龙去脉和前后的因果关系,从而准确推断其指代的对象。例如,在第2小题中,要结合划线词所在句的前文,才能理清this指代的对象。仅凭this所在句是无法推理出其指代意义的。我们根据划线词前文Hire a local baby-sitter once or twice.(雇用一两次当地的保姆)及划线词所在句Vacation Home owners can set this up for you,and some hotels might be willing to,too.(度假屋的主人可以为你安排这个,一些酒店可能也愿意)可知,this指的是雇用当地保姆这件事。故B选项正确。

Also, I want to ask about the specific activities throughout the week, because the information can help us make better preparations and promote our participation.

Thanks again for your kind invitation. It would be highly appreciated if you could deal with my inquiries at your convenience. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,

67.One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class. She had been quite familiar with the hand signals and had practiced for weeks. Now her eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. Her mouth-then her whole body-seemed to close in on itself in defeat. Sally stood off to the side, head down. I felt awful. Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella.
Paragraph 2:
The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination. I asked whether she was sure and suggested it would be OK if she waited till next year. She refused and insisted giving her presentation that day. Then we headed to Sally’s classroom. The kids were sitting in a circle on the floor listening to the teacher. We walked to the front of the room. I shook Sally’s hands and stepped back. For a few seconds, she stood silently, staring at her classmates. Finally she whispered, “This is Bella.” Then, a little louder voice with more confidence came out of her mouth. We were all delighted to see her change.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲了萨莉患有焦虑症,这使她在社交场合不能说话。作者是一名护士,用贝拉来帮助社区里的孩子们,给他们带来安慰和信心,只有狗才能做到这一点。在小狗贝拉的帮助下,萨莉逐渐可以在社交场合说话了。一天,在幼儿园里,大家都在等待着萨莉说话。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“但是,萨莉一个字也没有说出”,可知,后文可以讲述萨莉一言不发的尴尬场景。
