Conventionally butterflies were regarded not as fascinating subjects for close observa-
tion but as symbols of shallowness. But Eleanor Granville treated them with scientific seri-
ousness.
In her thirties, though suffering from a marriage where the husband was violent and
even turned her family against her, Granville sought comfort by studying moths and butter-
flies. She travelled around the countryside with local girls, beating bushes to catch falling
larvae （幼虫）, and recruited her servants as assistants to collect specimens（样本）. Be-
cause of unusual generosity in paying for a fine specimen, she soon accumulated a substan-
tial collection of butterflies. After bringing larvae home, she meticulously logged their growth,
providing some of the earliest detailed accounts of insect life cycles.
However, wandering the countryside with a collecting net was considered weird behav-
ior for anyone back then, let alone a woman, and she was accused of going out dressed like
a "gypsy".
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Besides her own extensive research, Granville exchanged letters and butterflies with
other collectors. Another enthusiast William Vernon reported that she had owned "the no-
blest collections of butterflies, all English, which has shamed us". She sent 100 examples to
the Royal Society and also sent James Petiver, England's most celebrated butterfly expert,
boxes of carefully pinned butterflies, including several that had been previously unknown, and
notably the one later named the Granville fritillary whose wings carry striking brown and
yellow patterns, a species of special concern due to the decline of the total number under the
influence of food loss and hotter weather.
Eleanor Granville remains the only British naturalist to have left their name to a native
butterfly species. A pioneer in the study of entomology （昆虫学）, Cranville helped make
it an academic subject. Regretfully, only two moths and a butterfly of Granville's precious
specimens are still preserved in London's Natural History Museum. Her name lives on the
butterflies she loved.
24. What do we know about Granville?
A. She paid generously for every specimen.
B. She was accused of deserting her family.
C. Studying butterflies provided an escape from her life.
D. Working with local girls earned her a good reputation.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. James Petiver greatly influenced Granville.
B. Granville's efforts shamed the Royal Society.
C. The Granville fritillary is an endangered species.
D. Granville's work was academically recognized.
26. How did Granville contribute to the field of entomology?
A. By naming butterflies and moths.
B. By studying rare butterfly specimens.
C. By offering up her collections for research.
D. By introducing entomology into universities.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Battle Against Social Conventions
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. A Woman Who Collected Butterflies
C. An Adventurer Trapped in a Woman
D. An Undertaking That Changed History
C
The world feels like it's being set alight. Wildfires in Canada and Europe, floods in
China, and a never-ending stream of record-breaking heat waves have constantly dominated
newspaper headlines. The feeling that time is quickly running out is very real. But that
feeling is a barrier to action-Nothing has changed when we've called for action before, so
considering the seemingly limited time window.
Our past efforts tell us there is a chance. The world has solved large environmental
problems that seemed impossible to overcome at the time. An eye-opening example is acid
rain. Studying how the world dealt with this geopolitically divisive problem can give us
some inspiration on how we can address climate change today.
It has mostly slipped from the public conversation, but acid rain was the leading envi-
ronmental problem of the 1990s. Caused by sulfur dioxide （二氧化硫）, it dissolved old
sculptures, stripped forests of their leaves, and polluted rivers and lakes. Emissions from the
UK would blow over to Sweden and Norway; emissions from the US would blow over to
Canada. This is a classic game theory problem; outcomes don't only depend on the actions of
one country but those of the others too. Eventually, government officials had to sign inter-
national agreements, place emissions limits on power plants and start to reduce coal burn-
ing. Interventions were incredibly effective. In Europe, sulfur dioxide emissions fell by 84
percent and in the US by 90 percent.
Surely climate change is not the perfect parallel for the environmental problems we've
solved before. It will be harder. It will involve every country, rich and poor. But change is
happening. To accelerate action, we need to have the expectation that things can move
faster. Past lessons tell us that these expectations are not unrealistic.
28. How does the sense of urgency affect attitudes to climate change?
A. It discourages team work.
B. It fuels doubts about efforts.
C. It arouses fear for disasters.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. It weakens trust in newspapers.
29. Why does the author discuss acid rain?
A. To analyze the causes of present challenges.
B. To boost public confidence in the government.
C. To highlight acid rain's environmental damage.
D. To offer insights into handling climate change.
30. What was the main challenge in addressing acid rain?
A. The seriousness of the pollution.
B. Unequal shares of responsibility.
C. Seeking international cooperation.
D. Reducing sulfur dioxide emissions.
31. What is the author's attitude to current climate change measures?
A. Unsatisfied.
B. Dismissive.
C. Optimistic.
D. Approving.

In July 1915, severely tortured by his poor health, James Murray, one of the early edi-
tors of the Oxford English Dictionary （OED）, defined one final word. After his 36
years' dedication to the dictionary, his hard labour had taken a toll . Knowing he would not
see the project complete.
The poetic quality of Murray's final days is one of the many memorable tales in The
Dictionary People. Beginning in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project-"the
Wikipedia of the 19th century"-comprising 3, 000 people. The idea was to create a "de-
scriptive" dictionary that tracked words' use and meaning over time, unlike its
"prescriptive"18th-century predecessor by Samuel Johnson, which told readers how to say and
use words. Volunteers read widely, mailing in examples of how "rare, old-fashioned, new,
strange" words were used. What is surprising about this fairly random method is that it
worked.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie's book is almost as improbable as that of the dictio-
nary itself. Ms Ogilvie, a former scholar who served as an editor for the OED, went into the
documents of Oxford University Press and came across an old notebook. It had belonged to
Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers, most of whom had
previously been unknown. The Dictionary People is her work of detective scholarship,
bringing the lives behind the names to readers.
Ms Ogilvie's book is full of intriguing stories. The presentation of the book is uncon-
ventional, too, taking its structure from the work it describes. There are 26 alphabetical
chapters, each celebrating a group of contributors （ memorably, "K" is for "kleptomaniac"
people who desire to steal）. This is a clever arrangement, though it sometimes means that
broader issues emerge only in pieces.
Essentially, this is a story about ordinary people. It is concrete proof of those who, to
cite dictionary-helper George Eliot, "lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited
tombs".
32. What does the underlined expression "taken a toll" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Paid off.
B. Proved in vain.
C. Worn out the passion.
D. Had a harmful effect.
33. What can we learn about the Oxford English Dictionary?
A. It serves as an example of dictionary editing.
B. It provides precise directions for word usage.
C. It is a cooperative work of many volunteers.
D. It was edited with the help of Samuel Johnson.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The story behind Sarah Ogilvie's book.
B. The detective methods of Sarah Ogilvie.
C. Legends of the early OED editors.
D. Murray's role in editing the OED.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. A review of a book.
B. A biography of an editor.
C. An essay on dictionary editing.
D. An introduction to a dictionary.

"Tidying can transform your life. This is the attractive promise from Japanese declut-
tering （清理） expert Marie Kondo. Around 11 million people have bought her book, The
Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, hoping to achieve her minimalistic happiness.
Kondo's method is straightforward-Tidy your home by category instead of by room,
pull everything out before sorting it out, and keep only things that are useful or "spark
joy". 36 Clothes, kitchen tools, paperwork, even books should be carefully examined, as-
sessed and thrown away.
Scientific research suggests Kondo is on to something. 37 For example, researchers at
the University of Navarra found volunteers made less mistakes inputting data in a neat en-
vironment than in a messy one. On the other hand, other studies show clutter（杂乱） can
reduce our ability to focus on a task, which may explain why some people just cannot
stand working at a messy desk. 38 It can even make us more likely to reach for junk food.
But for most of us, piles of clutter may not seem like a big deal. 39 And for many
people, some objects are tied to emotionally significant memories and represent a piece of
our identity, which is difficult to throw away. Scientists believe that there is a real value
in clutter and nostalgia （ 怀 旧 ） , especially if we are unlucky enough to develop
Alzheimer's in later life. 40 However, those that evoke happy memories are priceless, espe-
cially to people with memory problems.
As Albert Einstein-the owner of an extremely messy desk-is often quoted as saying: "If
a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"
A. But can we really be better off with less stuff?
B. The word clutter implies it doesn't have value.
C. Tidy environments help us think more clearly.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. Living in a tidy space can greatly increase happiness.
E. Messiness can also make it harder for us to fall asleep.
F. All that stuff just helps turn the buildings we live in into homes.
G. Nothing is safe from her mission to reduce the stuff in our lives.

A Self-Discovery Journey at "Know Yourself"
第二节（满分25分）
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。
In a small town called Meadowville, there was a beloved playground that had brought
joy to generations of children. 11-year-old Emma and her best friends, Alice and Leo, were
among those who idled away their after-school time and weekends there all year round. It
was a place where imaginations soared, friendships blossomed, and laughter echoed through
the air.
One afternoon, rushing out the school gate, Emma shouted, "Let's go down to the play-
ground!" The three of them got there soon, but it was locked up. The fence was broken and
the swings had tape around them.
Shocked, they stared into each other's eyes, not knowing why. A man approached
them, explaining that it was unsafe and the council had decided to shut it down.
"Will they fix it?" asked Alice.
"No. it will cost a lot, at least ten thousand dollars. "the man shook his head, walking
away. Leo looked desperate, gazing at the playground and then hanging his head, as if bid-
ding farewell. "We need to get some help!" Emma dragged Alice towards her home.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司On stepping into the house, Emma exclaimed, "Dad! We need ten thousand dollars. . .
"Her dad, who was drinking coffee, turned his head around, "What?" Alice then revealed
the truth. Hearing this heart-breaking news, Emma's parents were more than surprised, for
their childhood was closely connected with that playground as well. They spread the news
to other families.
Instead of providing the money, they suggested the children take matters into their
own hands while parents offered assistance.

第一节范文：
A Self-Discovery Journey at "Know Yourself"
Last Friday, I had the privilege of attending the "Know Yourself" event organized by
our school's Psychology Club-a journey into self-discovery that was both enriching and en-
joyable.
The event, held in the school library, aimed to guide students in gaining a deeper un-
derstanding of themselves and promoting mental well-being. The activities were diverse,
ranging from group discussions on stress- coping strategies to enjoyable psychological tests
that unveiled personality traits and behavioral tendencies.
Through these activities, I gained insights into my coping mechanisms under pressure.
Additionally, the psychological tests provided me with new perspectives to better plan my
future development. I believe such experiences are invaluable for all participants and will
have a positive impact on our future growth.
第二节范文：
Emma sprang to her feet, "Let's hold a bake sale to raise funds!" Everyone presents lit
up, nodding in agreement. With respective tasks, the children and parents got down to the
preparation. Emma's father made a huge banner reading "Saving the Playground" while
Leo's mom occupied herself with paperwork needed to issue a permit for the sale. Mean-
while, kids worked jointly to design and hand out the leaflets. Eventually, the big day
学科网（北京）股份有限公司came. Almost every family in their community contributed their delicious homemade treats.
That Sunday morning, the aroma of freshly baked cookies and cakes filled the air as peo-
ple lined up to support the cause. Being a tremendous success, the sale in the farmer's
market went for another 2 months.
Their hard work paid off. As news of their efforts spread, local businesses started
pitching in. The hardware store donated paint and materials, while the gardening center pro-
vided plants and flowers. The children worked tirelessly, transforming the worn-out play-
ground into a vibrant and inviting space once again. On the day of re-opening, the children
organized a community celebration, inviting everyone who had contributed to the project to
share the joy. The children of Meadowville taught the world that with determination, unity,
and a little bit of fundraising, anything is possible. The playground stood as a testament to
their resilience and the power of their youthful spirits, reminding everyone that dreams can
be achieved when hearts come together.
