Fr nearly tw decades, a thin, sun-burnt pstal wrker culd frequently be seen carrying packages alng a dangerus muntain trail in the Taihang Muntains.
The 10-kilmeter-lng rute, which is between 20 centimeters and 1 meter wide, is knwn as the “cat rad” by lcals, meaning that it is s dangerus that nly cats culd walk n it. Whereas, Zha Yuefang, a pstal wrker in Ewu twnship in Huguan cunty, Shanxi prvince, had t walk the rute every day t deliver mail.
Every day at the crack f dawn, he wuld start his jurney alng the “cat rad”. Frm picking up the day’s pst t delivering it t villagers and returning alng the same rute, it tk Zha fur days. During rainy and snwy seasns, the muntain rad, part f which hugs the cliffs, wuld becme slippery and dangerus. One day in the winter f 2003, the “cat rad” was cvered in thick snw and he slipped ff the trail. Frtunately, he was able t stp his sharp descent by grabbing a tree branch and slwly managed t climb t safety.
By 2012, Zha had walked mre than 300,000 km and delivered ver 800,000 pieces f mail. Brn and raised in the deep muntains, Zha truly understands the significance f mail deliveries t villagers. “They depend n the mail t keep in tuch with the utside wrld,” he said. “Their sheer jy written n their face while receiving any pst struck me,” he added.
In 2012, a 67-km-lng turist highway was built and gne were thse days when Zha risked his life t walk n the “cat rad”. But Zha was even busier than befre. “The number f packages I handle daily nw exceeds the number I used t deal with in the past,” said Zha, adding that villagers are turning t nline shpping and rdering mre and mre gds by pst.
4.Why is the muntain trail referred t as “cat rad”?

Is life a stry r a game? Answers may vary frm ne t anther. Over the curse f life, we find things t lve and cmmit t — a jb, a partner r a cmmunity. At times, we struggle t learn frm ur misfrtunes t grw in wisdm, kindness and grace.
Will Strr, a writer whse wrk I admire, says this stry versin f life is a misunderstanding. In his bk The Status Game, he argues that human beings are deeply driven by status. Rather than abut being liked r accepted, he writes, it’s abut being better than thers. “When peple are bedient t us, ffer respect, admiratin r praise, that’s status. It feels gd.”
Life is a series f games, he adds. There’s the high schl game f cmpeting t be the ppular kid. The lawyer game t make partner. The finance game t make the mst mney. The academic game fr fame. The sprts game t shw that ur team is the best. Even when we are trying t d gd, Strr claims, we’re playing the “virtue game” t shw we are mrally superir t thers.
I think Strr is in danger f becming ne f thse guys wh ignre the nble desires f the human heart and the caring element in every friendship and family. The status-mad wrld that Strr describes is s lveless. In fact, gaming as a way f life is immature. Maturity means rising abve the shallw desire — fr status — that desn’t really nurish us. It’s abut cultivating the higher desires: the lve f truth and learning; the inner pleasure the craftsman gets in his wrk, which is nt abut ppularity, and the desire fr a gd and meaningful life that inspires peple t practise daily acts f genersity.
Hw d peple gradually learn t cultivate these higher mtivatins? T answer that, I’d have t tell yu a stry.
8.What lies in the cre f Will Strr’s pinin abut life?
A.The pride in ne’s virtue.B.The pursuit f superirity.
C.The desire fr acceptance.D.The mtivatin by wealth.
9.What can be viewed as higher mtivatins in the text?
A.Lve and inspiratin.B.Maturity and desire.
C.Cmmitment and kindness.D.Friendship and ppularity.
10.What’s the main purpse f the passage?
A.T crrect an attitude.B.T cmpare tw values.
C.T explain tw arguments.D.T criticize a viewpint.
11.What stry d yu think the authr will tell next?
A.A king’s-cmeback stry.B.A rags-t-riches stry.
C.A Yuan Lngping-style stry.D.An vernight-success stry.
Wuld a persn brn blind, wh has learned t distinguish bjects by tuch, be able t recgnize them purely by sight if he regained the ability t see? The questin, knwn as Mlyneux’s prblem, is abut whether the human mind has a built-in cncept f shapes that is s inbrn that a blind persn culd immediately recgnize an bject with restred visin. Alternatively, the cncepts f shapes are nt inbrn but have t be learned by explring an bject thrugh sight, tuch and ther senses.
After their attempt t test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka f Queen Mary University f Lndn and his team carried ut anther experiment n bumblebees. T test whether bumblebees can frm an internal representatin f bjects, they first trained the insects t distinguish glbes frm cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were first trained in the light, where they culd see but nt tuch the bjects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they culd tuch but nt see the items. The researchers fund that the insects spent mre time in cntact with the shape they had been trained t assciate with the sugar reward, even thugh they had t rely n tuch rather than sight t distinguish the bjects.
The researchers als did the ppsite test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able t recgnize the shape assciated with the sugar reward, thugh they had t rely n sight rather than tuch in the test. In shrt, bees have slved Mlyneux’s prblem because the fact suggests that they can picture bject features and access them thrugh sight r tuch.
Hwever, sme experts express their warning s against the result. Jnathan Birch, a philspher f science, cautins that the bees may have had prir experience assciating visual and tactile (触觉) infrmatin abut straight edges and curved surfaces in their nests.
12.What is Mlyneux’s prblem abut?
A.Whether mankind’s sense f tuch utweighs sight.
B.Whether mankind’s idea f shape is inbrn r learned.
C.Whether blind peple can identify the shape f an item.
D.Whether the blind can regain their sense f tuch after recvery.
13.Hw did Lrs Chittka and his clleagues try t figure ut Mlyneux’s prblem?
A.By experimentatin n blind children.
B.By cnducting cntrlled experiments.
C.By rewarding bumblebees with sugar.
D.By bserving bumblebees in their nests.
14.What is Jnathan Birch’s attitude twards the cnclusin f the bee experiments?
A.Skeptical.B.Supprtive.
C.Dismissive.D.Ambiguus.
15.Which f the fllwing can be the best title f the passage?
A.Scientists Fund Senses Matter
B.Visual-Tactile Puzzle Has Been Slved
C.Experiments Will Help the Blind Regain Sight
D.Bumblebees May Help Slve Mlyneux’s Prblem

参考答案:
1.B 2.D 3.C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些国家的当地人是如何通过美食来庆祝圣诞节的。
1.细节理解题。由文章England部分中“After the King’s r Queen’s annual Christmas speech, it’s time fr the main meal, typically including a turkey r rast beef accmpanied by varius side dishes. (在国王或女王的年度圣诞演讲之后,是吃正餐的时间,通常包括火鸡或烤牛肉以及各种配菜。)”可知,在圣诞节庆祝活动中,英国有一年一度的王室致辞。故选B。
2.细节理解题。由文章Italy部分中“Similar t France, Italians celebrate Christmas n the eve. The lcals typically attend midnight Mass and then indulge in a lavish meal befre heading t church. (和法国人一样,意大利人在圣诞节前夕庆祝圣诞节。当地人通常会参加午夜弥撒,然后在去教堂之前享受一顿丰盛的大餐。)”和Greece部分中“After attending an early mrning hly cmmunin in church n Christmas, Greeks g hme fr an all-day eating gathering. (在圣诞节清晨参加完教堂的圣餐后,希腊人会回家吃上一整天。)”可知,要体验宗教氛围,最好在意大利和希腊。故选D。
3.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“The cuisine that marks Christmas is as diverse as the peple feasting n it. Here’s a lk at hw the lcals celebrate Christmas thrugh cuisine in their cuntries, which will give yu a glimpse f the celebratins. (庆祝圣诞节的美食和享用圣诞大餐的人一样丰富多彩。下面我们来看看当地人是如何通过美食来庆祝圣诞节的,这将让你对庆祝活动有一个大致的了解。)”可知,这段话可能来自杂志的节日和传统一栏。故选C。
4.C 5.A 6.A 7.D
【导语】本文是记叙文。它讲述了一位名叫赵岳芳的邮政工作人员在太行山的危险山路上投递邮件的故事,通过描述他的工作经历和所面临的挑战,展现了其坚持不懈和奉献精神。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段“The 10-kilmeter-lng rute, which is between 20 centimeters and 1 meter wide, is knwn as the “cat rad” by lcals, meaning that it is s dangerus that nly cats culd walk n it.(这条路长10公里,宽20厘米到1米,被当地人称为“猫路”,意思是这条路非常危险,只有猫才能在上面走)”可知,因为这条路太窄,风险太大,只有猫才能在上面走,所以被称为“猫路”。故选C项。
5.词句猜测题。根据前文“One day in the winter f 2003, the “cat rad” was cvered in thick snw and he slipped ff the trail.(2003年冬天的一天,“猫路”被厚厚的积雪覆盖,他滑下了小路)”在结合后文“grabbing a tree branch(抓住一根树枝)”可知,他滑下了小路,但是他抓住一根树枝,应是阻止了急剧的下降,推知descent意为“下降”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
6.推理判断题。根据第一段“Fr nearly tw decades, a thin, sun-burnt pstal wrker culd frequently be seen carrying packages alng a dangerus muntain trail in the Taihang Muntains.(近二十年来,在太行山的一条危险的山路上,经常可以看到一个瘦削的、被太阳晒得黝黑的邮递员拎着包裹)”以及第三段“Every day at the crack f dawn, he wuld start his jurney alng the “cat rad”. Frm picking up the day’s pst t delivering it t villagers and returning alng the same rute, it tk Zha fur days. During rainy and snwy seasns, the muntain rad, part f which hugs the cliffs, wuld becme slippery and dangerus.(每天天一亮,他就沿着“猫路”出发。从取当天的邮件到把邮件送到村民手中,再沿着同一条路线返回,赵花了四天时间。在雨季和雪季,这条山道会变得很滑很危险,因为有一部分山道紧靠悬崖)”可知,赵岳芳20年来一直在太行山一条被称为“猫路”的危险山路上投递邮件,他坚持不懈、有奉献精神,即使路线危险也不放弃,因此最能描述他的词语是“Persistent and dedicated(坚持不懈和奉献的)”。故选A项。
7.推理判断题。根据第二段“Brn and raised in the deep muntains, Zha truly understands the significance f mail deliveries t villagers. “They depend n the mail t keep in tuch with the utside wrld,” he said. “Their sheer jy written n their face while receiving any pst struck me,” he added.(在深山中出生和长大的赵真正理解给村民送邮件的意义。“他们依靠邮件与外界保持联系,”他说。他补充说:“他们在收到任何邮件时脸上写着的那种纯粹的快乐让我印象深刻。”)”可知,赵出生长大在深山,他真切理解邮件传递对于村民的重要性,所以是邮件传递的价值一直激励着赵对于工作的热情。故选D项。
8.B 9.C 10.A 11.C
【导语】
这是一篇议论文,生活是一个故事还是一场游戏?作家Will Strr认为生活就是一系列的游戏,人类深受地位的驱使,作者指出这种生活态度是不成熟的,成熟意味着追求更高的愿望。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段中“In his bk The Status Game, he argues that human beings are deeply driven by status. Rather than abut being liked r accepted, he writes, it’s abut being better than thers. ‘When peple are bedient t us, ffer respect, admiratin r praise, that’s status. It feels gd.’(在他的著作《地位游戏》中,他认为人类深受地位的驱使。他写道,这不是关于被喜欢或被接受,而是关于比别人更好。‘当人们顺从我们,给予尊重、钦佩或赞美时,这就是地位。感觉很好。’)”可知,Will Strr的作品核心在于追求更高的地位,要比别人更好,B项“追求卓越”符合题意,故选B。
9.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over the curse f life, we find things t lve and cmmit t — a jb, a partner r a cmmunity. At times, we struggle t learn frm ur misfrtunes t grw in wisdm, kindness and grace.(在生命的过程中,我们会找到一些值得热爱和承诺的事情——一份工作、一个伴侣或一个社区。有时,我们挣扎着从不幸中学习,在智慧、善良和优雅中成长)”和第四段中“It’s abut cultivating the higher desires: the lve f truth and learning; the inner pleasure the craftsman gets in his wrk, which is nt abut ppularity, and the desire fr a gd and meaningful life that inspires peple t practise daily acts f genersity.(它是关于培养更高的愿望:对真理和学习的热爱;工匠从他的作品中获得的内心愉悦,与受欢迎与否无关,以及对美好而有意义的生活的渴望,激励着人们践行慷慨的日常行为)”可知,C项“承诺和善良”可以被视为更高的动机,故选C。
10.推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第四段中“I think Strr is in danger f becming ne f thse guys wh ignre the nble desires f the human heart and the caring element in every friendship and family. The status-mad wrld that Strr describes is s lveless. In fact, gaming as a way f life is immature. Maturity means rising abve the shallw desire — fr status —that desn’t really nurish us. It’s abut cultivating the higher desires…(我认为斯托尔有可能成为那些忽视人类内心的崇高愿望和每一份友谊和家庭中的关怀元素的人之一。Strr所描述的这个为地位而疯狂的世界是如此缺乏爱。事实上,游戏作为一种生活方式是不成熟的。成熟意味着超越肤浅的欲望——对地位的渴望——这并不能真正滋养我们。它是关于培养更高的愿望)”可知,文章首句“Is life a stry r a game?(生活是一个故事还是一场游戏?)”提出问题:生活是一个故事还是一场游戏?接着提到了作家Will Strr对此问题的回答,Will Strr认为生活就是一系列的游戏,人类深受地位的驱使,接着作者提到这种生活态度是不成熟的,故本文目的是纠正一种态度,故选A。
11.推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“It’s abut cultivating the higher desires: the lve f truth and learning; the inner pleasure the craftsman gets in his wrk, which is nt abut ppularity, and the desire fr a gd and meaningful life that inspires peple t practise daily acts f genersity.(它是关于培养更高的愿望:对真理和学习的热爱;工匠从他的作品中获得的内心愉悦,与受欢迎与否无关,以及对美好而有意义的生活的渴望,激励着人们践行慷慨的日常行为)”和最后一段“Hw d peple gradually learn t cultivate these higher mtivatins? T answer that, I’d have t tell yu a stry.(人们如何逐渐学会培养这些更高的动机?要回答这个问题,我得给你讲个故事)”可知,更高的愿望是对真理和学习的热爱和对美好而有意义的生活的渴望,作者接下来要讲述关于如何培养这些更高动机的故事,C项“一个袁隆平式的故事”符合更高动机的内涵,故选C。
12.B 13.B 14.A 15.D
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章探讨了Mlyneux问题,即一个天生失明但通过触摸学会区分物体的人在恢复视力后是否能够通过视觉来识别物体。
12.细节理解题。根据第一段“The questin, knwn as Mlyneux’s prblem, is abut whether the human mind has a built-in cncept f shapes that is s inbrn that a blind persn culd immediately recgnize an bject with restred visin. Alternatively, the cncepts f shapes are nt inbrn but have t be learned by explring an bject thrugh sight, tuch and ther senses.(这个问题被称为Mlyneux的问题,是关于人类大脑是否有一种内在的形状概念,这种概念是天生的,以至于盲人可以在恢复视力的情况下立即认出物体。另外,形状的概念不是天生的,而是必须通过视觉、触觉和其他感官探索物体来学习的)”可知,Mlyneux问题的内容是人类的形状观念是天生的还是后天习得的。故选B项。
13.推理判断题。根据第二段“After their attempt t test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka f Queen Mary University f Lndn and his team carried ut anther experiment n bumblebees. T test whether bumblebees can frm an internal representatin f bjects, they first trained the insects t distinguish glbes frm cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were first trained in the light, where they culd see but nt tuch the bjects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they culd tuch but nt see the items. The researchers fund that the insects spent mre time in cntact with the shape they had been trained t assciate with the sugar reward, even thugh they had t rely n tuch rather than sight t distinguish the bjects.(在他们试图在失明儿童身上进行测试失败后,伦敦玛丽女王大学的Lars Chittka和他的团队在大黄蜂身上进行了另一项实验。为了测试大黄蜂是否能形成对物体的内部表征,他们首先用糖奖励来训练大黄蜂区分球形和立方体。蜜蜂首先在光线下训练,在那里它们可以看到但不能触摸物体。然后他们在黑暗中进行测试,在那里他们可以触摸但看不到物品。研究人员发现,这些昆虫花了更多的时间来接触它们被训练成与糖奖励相关联的形状,尽管它们必须依靠触觉而不是视觉来区分物体)”可知,Lrs Chittka和他的同事是通过控制实验来研究Mlyneux问题。故选B项。
14.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hwever, sme experts express their warning s against the result.

15.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The questin, knwn as Mlyneux’s prblem, is abut whether the human mind has a built-in cncept f shapes that is s inbrn that a blind persn culd immediately recgnize an bject with restred visin. Alternatively, the cncepts f shapes are nt inbrn but have t be learned by explring an bject thrugh sight, tuch and ther senses.(这个问题被称为Mlyneux的问题,是关于人类大脑是否有一种内在的形状概念,这种概念是天生的,以至于盲人可以在恢复视力的情况下立即认出物体。另外,形状的概念不是天生的,而是必须通过视觉、触觉和其他感官探索物体来学习的)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了Mlyneux问题,并通过大黄蜂来进行实验研究,所以D项“Bumblebees May Help Slve Mlyneux’s Prblem(大黄蜂可能帮助Mlyneux解决问题)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

19.分析设空,为本段小标题,根据后文“Yur healthy habits can als be fun and rewarding. What have yu always wanted t d? Yur answer t that questin might pint yu tward a new hbby t explre in 2024.(你的健康习惯也可以是有趣和有益的。你一直想做什么?你对这个问题的回答可能会让你在2024年探索一个新的爱好)”可知,本段讲述是培养一个新的爱好,所以B项“Take n a new hbby.(培养新的爱好)”为本段小标题。故选B项。
20.空处位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Yur healthy habits can als be fun and rewarding. What have yu always wanted t d? Yur answer t that questin might pint yu tward a new hbby t explre in 2024. And getting int it can help yu reduce stress and bst mental well-being.

【导语】本文是议论文。文章通过引用唐代诗人李绅的《悯农》(其二)一诗,展示了农民劳作的艰辛,进而引发了对食物浪费问题的深刻讨论。
36.考查非谓语动词。句意:唐代诗人李绅所写的《悯农》(二),向我们展示了农民的艰苦生活。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词shws,所以write用非谓语形式,在句中作后置定语,修饰The Peasants (II),根据空后的by和句意可知,动词write和The Peasants (II)之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填written。
37.考查代词。句意:唐代诗人李绅所写的《悯农》(二),向我们展示了农民的艰苦生活。空前是动词,所以空处应填宾格形式作宾语,应是us。故填us。
38.考查定语从句。句意:前两行描述了一个常见的场景:正午,太阳高悬在天空中,农民在他们的土地上劳作,汗水淋漓。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是scene,且关系词在从句中作地点状语,用where引导。故填where。
39.考查非谓语动词。句意:前两行描述了一个常见的场景:正午,太阳高悬在天空中,农民在他们的土地上劳作,汗水淋漓。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词,所以hang用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语the sun之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填hanging。
40.考查副词。句意:在最后两行诗中,诗人直接指出,我们吃的米饭是农民辛勤劳动的成果。空处修饰空后的动词,用副词修饰。故填directly。
41.考查介词。句意:虽然这首诗的语言很简单,但它的主题却很深刻,提醒人们珍惜食物的重要性。此处是固定搭配:remind sb. f sth.意为“提醒某人某事”。故填f。
42.考查冠词。句意:据联合国粮农组织估计,全球每年有13亿吨食物被浪费,占人类消费食物总量的三分之一。此处是固定搭配:the ttal意为“总数”。故填the。
43.考查虚拟语气和语态。句意:因此,强烈建议珍惜每一粒米。本句是suggest引导的宾语从句,从句需用虚拟语气,又主语rice和value之间是被动关系,用被动语态,所以用(shuld) be valued结构,其中shuld可省略。故填be valued或者shuld be valued。
44.考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国,我们已经通过了一项关于食物浪费的法律,为国家在保障粮食安全的同时促进节俭的传统美德的努力提供法律支持。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词have adpted,所以ffer用非谓语形式,根据句意,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填t ffer。
45.考查连词。句意:句意:在中国,我们已经通过了一项关于食物浪费的法律,为国家在保障粮食安全的同时促进节俭的传统美德的努力提供法律支持。此处是固定搭配:nt 意为“不但……而且”。故填but。
