【原文】After a test last autumn, Kuang went to Toronto to visit his schoolmate, the distance measuring about
5,000 kilometers. This train started from Vancouver, a city surrounded by mountains. After confirming his baggage
was aboard the train, Kuang settled down in his seat. Having a gift for communication, he started chatting with
another passenger within five minutes. Their topics included the Canadian traditions, the weather, the travel
experiences and the terrifying great falls. After a nice meal at noon, he was pleased to find that the scenery was
impressive. He saw beautiful lakes in the distance, wealthy urban areas and maple forest. He even managed to catch
sight of an eagle flying over bushes. Kuang reached Toronto, which lies near the border, at a misty dawn. Streets
were very quiet, though it was early. Kuang phoned his schoolmate at once rather than waiting for him to come.
They had a good time together.
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2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。
A
Which book you should read based on your next travel destination
Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan.
Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and
everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep
your captivated during your trip.
Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America.A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as
they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes
the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-
Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the
Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past
lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”.
Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to
Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the
book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot.
21. If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up?
A. The Fault in Our Stars. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude.
C. 1Q84. D. The Great Gatsby.
22. Which one of the followings is NOT true?
A. Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town.
B. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America.
C. “West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names.
D. The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
23. An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-
year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city.
According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city?
A. Tokyo. B. New York. C. Amsterdam. D. Sao Paulo.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. C
B
I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story
ideas. Hours later, I completed my first short story. Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long. But also,
since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write. Since then, I also felt less and less
willing to share my work:what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else's? What started off as something
creative that I could share with friends turned into competition changed by feelings of competence. Oftentimes,hobbies begin as something just for fun. But eventually, what was once fun now contributes to feelings of stress and
inadequacy. I have plenty of memories of thinking I was going to pick up something new and stick with it, whether
it be playing the piano, or drawing. But there is always a part of me that expects myself to just magically be good at
all of those things. And when I’m not, the enjoyment tapers off as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t
acceptable anymore.
Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly. I can see the
growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I
drop writing for months at a time. This feeling of a hobby becoming, for a lack of better word, a chore, lowers the
satisfaction of said hobby.
But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to
your occupation. We must accept that it is okay to just suck at an activity but still doing it because it brings you joy.
There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves.
24. What does the author do in the first paragraph?
A. He challenges a tradition. B. He relates an experience.
C. He envisions a coming trend. D. He compares varied hobbies.
25. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “tapers off” in paragraph 1?
A. Thins out. B. Tops out. C. builds up. D. Spreads around.
26. Why does the author drop writing constantly?
A. He is inadequate for it. B. He prefers mediocrity.
C. He equates joy with achievement. D. He receives bitter comment.
27. What message does the passage convey?
A. Mediocrity is the key to enjoyment.
B. A hobby shared is a hobby squared.
C. Excellence ensures academic success.
D. Enjoyment outweighs excellence in hobbies.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
C
The sharp fin (鳍). The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television
in Jaws or Discovery’s “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you
want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals (刻画) in movies and popular culture,
sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear.One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack
humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey (猎物), seals or dolphins. They don’t seek out
humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.
Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain. Some sharks even control the
balance of an ecosystem through fear alone. Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles.
Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks, will destroy these meadows. When tiger sharks are present though,
the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth.
Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of
humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they
mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is
happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according
to National Geographic. Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth. Shark fins are also believed to have
medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do.
28. What do most people think about sharks?
A. They are ugly. B. They are important.
C. They are violent. D. They are complicated.
29. What does the author try to show by comparing shark bites to lightning strikes?
A. Shark bites are deadly. B. Shark bites are rare.
C. Shark bites are unpredictable. D. Shark bites are painful.
30. Why should sharks be scared of humans according to the author?
A. Humans keep sharks to show off.
B. Humans catch sharks for medical research.
C. Humans kill sharks in large quantities.
D. Humans are greater in number than sharks.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ocean Life: Save Our Sharks! B. Sharks: Kings of Protectors?
C. Ocean Life: An Ecological Crisis! D. Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood?
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D
D
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better
able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.Professor Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the way in which
other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.
He compared the potential problem of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size
as temperatures rose around 55 million years ago.
Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world
today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons
are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to
their volume than bigger animals and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat,” he writes.
Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added,
“That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of
mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly. That does raise the question: If temperatures do rise really quickly,
might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.”
However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Professor Adrian Lister, of
the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak.
“We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large
people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We
wear clothes, we have got heating, we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”
32. How do mammals cope with climate change according to Brusatte?
A. Moving to colder regions. B. Reducing their body size.
C. Losing their weight. D. Adapting their diet.
33. What does the underlined word “dissipation” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Exchange. B. Formation. C. Absorption. D. Emission.
34. What is Adrian Lister’s attitude towards the recent study?
A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Approving.
35. What is the best title of this text?
A. The Threat of Climate Change to Human Survival
B. The Impact of Climate Change on Mammal Body Sizes
C. The Evolutionary Trends in Mammal Body Sizes
D. The Adaptive Strategies of Mammals to Climate Change

项。
Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. ___36___ If you are a person
that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that. Studies have shown that practicing
gratitude can significantly boost people’s happiness and well-being, allowing them to live a more fulfilling life. So
how can we practice gratitude? Here are ways that will set you in the right direction.
Keep a gratitude journal. Keep it simple and each day write 1 — 3 things you are grateful for in the morning
and in the evening. ___37___ A lot of people focus on what they don’t have, or complain all day, making
themselves upset. But when you focus on the positive, no matter how small, you attract more of the positive.
Don’t compare. It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and want what they have. When you do that, you’re
not appreciating your own unique journey. We’re all on a different life path and we were born to stand out.
___38___
Flash a smile. A lot of people don’t smile these days, and often you have to be the one that initiates (发起) it.
Smiling at someone can not only make you feel good, but also make their day, too. ___39___ While you’re at it,
give compliments (问候), too.
___40___ It’s easy to focus on the negative of the past or worry about the future. If you can live in the moment
and take in everything as they happen, you’ll discover joys that are often overlooked. There are joys of playing with
your classmates in the playground, the conversation with your friends across the table and the smell of rain. Enjoy
and embrace these moments.
A. Live in the present.
B. So how often do you practice gratitude?
C. Do you know how to practice gratitude sincerely?
D. It will allow you to see more joy and beauty in your days.
E. Always discover the positive side of the people around you.

A Traditional Chinese Festival Food
Chinese festival food is a crucial element of traditional Chinese culture, with a wide variety of mouth-watering
dishes. Today, I’d like to introduce dumplings, a traditional food that holds a special place in Chinese culture.
Dumplings are made of thin dough wrapped around a filling, usually consisting of meat and vegetables. They
are often boiled or steamed and served with dipping sauce. Dumplings are not only delicious but also symbolize
wealth and good fortune because their shape resembles ancient Chinese gold ingots.
In Chinese culture, dumplings are especially important during the Spring Festival. Families gather to make and
eat dumplings together, which represents unity and happiness. This tradition has been passed down for generations,
making dumplings a meaningful part of Chinese festivals.

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。
The smell of roasted chicken filled the kitchen as we gathered for our usual Friday dinner. Having swallowed abig mouthful of chicken, I took a deep breath and began, “Could I invite some friends over tomorrow? Just for the
afternoon?”
My parents exchanged a glance, then nodded readily. But beside me, my younger sister, Lily, froze. Her wide
eyes locked onto mine. “But... what about Miracle? She’ll be terrified, Ethan.”
Miracle was a cat Lily rescued on a rainy day last winter. True to her name, the cat had survived. Yet, it
remained a creature of profound shyness: Loud voices sent her trembling under beds; sudden movements made her
jump. She wasn’t just a pet; she was a fragile soul Lily fiercely protected.
“I promise, Lily,” I insisted, leaning forward, meeting her worried gaze(凝视). “We’ll stay in the living room.
No loud music, no shouting games. I’ll keep the back door shut tight, and I’ll warn everyone to be quiet. Miracle
won’t even know they’re here.” I saw the conflict in her eyes — her desire to be supportive warring with her deep
concern for the poor cat. After a tense silence, she finally gave a small, reluctant nod.
Saturday arrived with sunshine and laughter as my friends piled in. True to my word, I guided them straight to
the living room, reminding them firmly about Miracle’s sensitivity.Initially, we chatted, played cards quietly.
Glancing around, I spotted Miracle sliding silently down the hallway towards Lily’s room. Good, she’s keeping her
distance, I thought, relieved.
As the afternoon wore on, however, the initial caution disappeared. A competitive board game led to
enthusiastic cheers and laughter. Lost in the sheer fun of being with my friends, I forgot everything - he promise,
the fragile creature.
After friends departed with cheerful goodbyes, I began tidying empty glasses, still lost in the happy scenes
when Lily burst through the front door into her room. Then came her scream, “Ethan, Miracle is gone.”

【答案】 A cold wave of fear rushed through me. I remembered opening the backdoor for some air.
Miracle must have got scared out of the house then. My sister looked at me in disbelief. Tears welled in her eyes,
spilling over. “You promised” The words weren’t shouted, but they cut deep. Shame burned my face. Without a
word, I grabbed a flashlight and raced into the backyard, Lily closely behind, her calls for Miracle now desperate
and choked with tears. We searched like crazy.
Luckily, we found Miracle in the backyard. There hidden under the thick bushes was Miracle. I dropped to
my knees and scooped it up gently and placed it into Lily’s waiting hands. Once we went back home, I apologized
sincerely, “I am so, so sorry.” I slowly reached out towards Lily, placing my hand gently over hers. “Can you
forgive me?” Lily looked down at Miracle, then back at me, her eyes still wet but softening slightly. A fragile
bridge of forgiveness began to form.
