A year ago in August, Dave Fuss lost his job of driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His
wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of
everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in
recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-$7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and
Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially,” says
Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive an unexpected
legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was
a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million-they were an elderly
couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They liked
comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t
afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden. “They could
see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that
their legacy, a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents, would enrich the whole community and last
for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors-that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.
4. What can we learn about the Fusses?
A. Dave used to work in the local school cafeteria.
B. They lost their home soon after Dave lost his job.
C. Gerrie worked as a truck driver for a small company.
D. Dave found it challenging to find a job after his unemployment.
5. How did the Hatches get more than $3 million?
A. By saving and accumulating the money.
B. By running their enterprises and selling products.
C. By receiving the money from their last generations.
D. By being compensated by the insurance company for the accident.
6. Why did the Hatches pay for local children to attend summer camp?
A. Their parents lacked enough money.
B. Their parents turned to them for help.
C. The Hatches asked them if they needed anything.
D. The Hatches were looked after by their parents often.
7. How did almost all the people respond to the Hatches’ owning so much wealth?
A. They felt doubtful. B. They felt quite pleased.
C. It was within their imagination. D. It was out of their expectation.【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了密歇根州西部的一对老年夫妇在去世后，给当地社区留下了
超过300万美元的遗产，其中包括给多个家庭意想不到的巨额馈赠。文章通过讲述 Hatches夫妇的故事，
展现了邻里间互帮互助的美好品质。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A year ago in August, Dave Fuss lost his job of driving a truck for a small
company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave
was scarce, and the price of everything was rising.(一年前的8月，Dave Fuss失去了在密歇根州西部一家小公
司开卡车的工作。他的妻子Gerrie仍在当地学校的自助餐厅工作，但Dave的工作很少，而且所有东西的
价格都在上涨。)”可知，Dave之前在密歇根州西部的一家小公司开大卡车，失业后他很难找到工作，而
他的妻子Gerrie在当地学校的食堂工作。因此，Dave失业后找工作很困难。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of
saving. They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before
making a new purchase.(作为大萧条时期的孩子，Ish和Arlene以储蓄的习惯而闻名。他们喜欢货比三家，
经常从一家店逛到另一家店，在买新东西之前查看价格。)”可知，Hatches夫妇是大萧条时期的孩子，以
节俭著称，喜欢货比三家，在购物前会一家一家商店地比较价格。因此，他们是通过节省和积累获得了超
过300万美元的财富。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp
when their parents couldn’t afford it. (多年来，Hatches在当地孩子的父母负担不起的情况下资助他们参加夏
令营。)”可知，Hatches夫妇多年来一直为当地负担不起费用的孩子支付夏令营的费用。因此，他们这样
做是因为这些孩子的父母没有足够的钱。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3
million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.(几乎所有人都
惊讶于Hatches夫妇有这么多钱，超过300万美元——他们是一对老年夫妇，住在家族农场遗留下来的老
房子里。)”可知，Hatches夫妇拥有超过300万美元的财富让几乎所有人都感到惊讶，因此几乎所有人都
认为Hatches夫妇拥有这么多财富是出乎意料的。故选D。
C
Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to
run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every
year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event
offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.
That is a useful topic to explore. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how
people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their
creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to obtain. Daniel
Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.Dr. Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2023, and filmed the
runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度)
of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density
and speed.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less
expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was
contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as
group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or
death.
Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each
other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan
the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict the flow. The only option may well be to
make them wider.
8 What does the paper concentrate on?
A. How six fighting bulls appeal to so many people.
B. How bull-runs cause injuries and deaths every year.
C. How six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town
D. How bull-runs affect frightened people’s minds and behaviours.
9. Why is a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. People should learn how to deal with such disasters in a proper way.
B. People can behave in the same way as they do when bulls run in the city.
C. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners often consider such disasters.
D. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners sometimes ignore such disasters.
10. What is the long-held assumption when there is a dangerous situation?
A. People may lose their minds in disasters.
B. People will slow down in crowded areas.
C. People tend to speed up in high-density crowds.
D. People in panicked crowds can be unaware of the collision.
11. How did Dr. Parisi and his team carry out their research?
A. By observing the event and analyzing the information.
B. By using the method of reasoning and judging.
C. By consulting the organizers of the bull-runs.
D. By doing experiments with some volunteers.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了西班牙潘普洛纳奔牛节上人群在恐慌状态下的奔跑行为为心
理学家提供了研究机会，研究人员通过观察和实验发现人群密度增加时个体奔跑速度反而加快，这与传统
建筑设计理念中人们为避免碰撞而放慢脚步的假设相悖，因此城市设计师需要更好地规划未来限制人流的
隧道、桥梁等通道的建设，可能需要增加其宽度以提高安全性。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event
offers into the psychology of panicked crowds. (一篇刚刚发表在《科学》杂志上的论文描述了这一事件对恐慌人群心
理的启示。)”可知，这篇论文主要关注的是奔牛节是如何影响恐慌人群的心理和行为的。因此，选项
D“How bull-runs affect frightened people’s minds and behaviours.(奔牛节是如何影响恐慌人群的心理和行为
的)”符合题意。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句“Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how
people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their
creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). (建筑师、土木工程师和城市规划者必须设法了解人们
在火灾、洪水或恐怖袭击等灾难中的行为方式，以便他们设计建筑时可以避免潜在的致命碰撞。)”和第
三句“Unfortunately, solid information is hard to obtain.”(不幸的是，很难获得确切的信息。)以及第四
句“Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural
experiment. (这篇论文的主要作者丹尼尔·帕里西意识到，潘普洛纳的奔牛节提供了一个完美的自然实
验。)”可知，建筑师、土木工程师和城市规划者在设计时会考虑像火灾、洪水或恐怖袭击等灾难的情
况，但很难获得确切的信息，而潘普洛纳的奔牛节为他们提供了一个自然的实验场景，可以通过观察人们
在奔牛节中的行为来推测他们在灾难中的行为。因此，提到这些灾难是为了说明人们在奔牛节中的行为和
在灾难中的行为可能相似，选项B“People can behave in the same way as they do when bulls run in the city.
(人们在城市中看到牛奔跑时的行为和在灾难中的行为可能相同)”符合题意。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句“which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and
urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a
collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death. (这与建筑和城市设计领域长期以来的一个假
设相悖，即随着人群密度的增加，人们会放慢脚步，以降低碰撞的风险，这可能导致摔倒，甚至可能造成
伤害或死亡。)”可知，在危险情况下，人们通常会放慢脚步以避免碰撞，这是长期以来的一个假设。因
此，选项B“People will slow down in crowded areas.(在拥挤的地区人们会放慢脚步)”符合题意。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Dr. Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona
in July 2023, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. (2023 年7月，帕里西博士和他的团队前往
潘普洛纳两个不同的屋顶位置，拍摄了动物被释放时奔跑的人们。)”和 “Later in the lab, they calculated
the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the
relationship between runner-group density and speed. (后来，在实验室里，他们计算了奔跑者的速度、人群的
密度、奔跑者绊倒和摔倒的可能性以及奔跑者群体密度与速度之间的关系。)”可知，帕里西博士和他的
团队是通过观
察奔牛节事件并分析收集到的信息来进行研究的。因此，选项 A“By observing the event and analyzing the
information.(通过观察事件和分析信息)”符合题意。故选A。
D
Japan turns to more legal measures to support child-bearing as its total fertility (生育) rate and number of
births hit new record lows in 2023. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan on Wednesday reported
that the total fertility rate, which is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime,
fell to 1.20, continuously dropping for the eighth year.
The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year of 2022 to 727,277, the lowestsince record-keeping began in 1899. Meanwhile, the number of deaths rose by 6,886 from the year of 2022,
reaching a record high of 1,575,936.
The number of marriages also fell, dropping by 30,213 from the year of 2022 to 474,717, the lowest since
World War II. Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the declining (下滑的)
birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing work and
childcare, jointly led to the critical situation.
To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances
(补贴) and parental leave. Starting in the year of 2026, this new child-rearing support will be funded by higher
monthly health insurance fees.
Key changes include extending child allowance coverage from age 15 to age 18 and removing the income
limit for parents and guardians. Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be
doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. Other measures include
increased benefits for parents taking childcare leave and expanded daycare services for children, regardless of
their parents’ employment (就业) status.
12. How many babies were born in Japan in 2022?
A. 474,717. B. 727,277. C. 770,759. D. 1,575,936.
13. What is the main topic of Paragraph 3?
A. Fall of the number of marriages. B. Causes of the declining birthrate.
C. Effects of the declining birthrate. D. Challenge of balancing work and childcare.
14. How can parents who have a third child benefit from the new measures?
A. They will be supplied with free milk powder. B. They will be provided with low-rent housing.
C. They will get a higher monthly allowance. D. They will get more monthly salaries.
15. What is the best title for the news report?
A. Japan passes new law to increase birthrate
B. Daycare services for children expanded in Japan
C. More young Japanese people unwilling to marry
D. Number of deaths in Japan reaches a record high
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了日本生育率和出生人数创历史新低，因此采取更多法律措
施支持生育，包括扩大儿童补贴、延长育儿假等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year
of 2022 to 727,277, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1899.(日本2023年的新生儿数量为727277人，
比2022年减少了43482人，是1899年有记录以来的最低水平。)”可知，2023年日本出生婴儿数量比
2022年减少了43482人，降至727277人，因此可以反推出2022年日本出生婴儿数量为727277 + 43482 =
770759人。故选C项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the
declining birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing
work and childcare, jointly led to the critical situation.( 晚婚和经济问题通常被认为是出生率下降的原因。官员们表示，经济不稳定以及平衡工作和育儿的挑战等各种因素共同导致了这一危急局面。)”可知，晚婚
和经济问题是生育率下降的原因，官员表示经济不稳定和工作与育儿之间难以平衡等多种因素共同导致了
这一严峻形势，因此第三段主要讲述的是生育率下降的原因。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be
doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. (此外，第三个或更多孩子
的每月津贴将增加一倍，达到3万日元（192美元），这些变化将在几个月内生效。)”可知，有三个或更
多孩子的家庭每月补贴将翻倍至30000日元（192美元），因此有三个孩子的父母可以从新措施中获得更
高的每月补贴。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第一段“Japan turns to more legal measures to support child-bearing as its
total
fertility rate and number of births hit new record lows in 2023(随着2023年日本总生育率和出生人数创下历史
新低，日本将采取更多法律措施支持生育。)”可知，日本2023年的总和生育率和出生人数创历史新低，
因此采取更多法律措施支持生育，再根据最后一段“To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on
Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances and parental leave(为了解决生育率下降的问题，日本周三
通过了一项法律，扩大每月儿童补贴和育儿假)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是日本通过新法律
增加生育率。A选项“Japan passes new law to increase birthrate(日本通过新法律提高出生率)”符合文章标
题。故选A项。

well with each other even though they disagreed with each other sometimes. Last Saturday, Grace and Martin,
went to a restaurant to have dinner. There were lots of people in the restaurant so they had to share their table with
another person, who was a girl in her twenties. After eating, she left in a hurry and left her phone on the table.
When Grace and Martin were ready to return home Grace noticed the phone. She quickly told Martin,
“It must be the girl’s phone.” Martin looked at the phone which took his breath away. It was one of the latest
models on the market. Martin had always wanted a phone, but his parents didn’t agree with his idea.
Martin stared at it for a few minutes. Then he said slowly, “I want to take the phone.” Grace could not believe
her ears. She shouted at her brother. “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?” However, Martin
grabbed the phone and ran out of the restaurant quickly.Upon arriving home, Martin locked his bedroom door with trembling hands. Inside his room, he took out the
piece of beauty. He liked it very much and polished it happily. He was unwilling to give back the phone.
Before going to sleep, Grace went into Martin’s bedroom and said, “Martin, you can’t keep the phone. Your
behavior is wrong. And how will you explain the thing to our parents?” Martin said, “I will say a friend lent it to
me.” “You are lying. Oh, dear! When did you turn so dishonest?” said Grace.
Then Grace saw a phone number on the plastic cover of the phone. “Why don’t we just call this number?
Maybe it is her family member’s. The owner must be worried. We can talk to her and ask her to come and take
back her phone,” Grace was trying to persuade her brother to change his mind.

bed from time to time. He looked into the darkness and kept sighing, and then he covered his head with the pillow.
It was difficult for him to return the new phone! Whenever he closed his eyes, the girl would appear in his mind.
But how could he bear to think of the girl heartbroken for her lost phone? How had he become such a boy? Shame
overcame him. Grace was right! The next morning, he found Grace. “I am going to phone the owner,” he told
Grace, stressing each word.
“How have you changed your mind?” Grace asked. “It is a good deed to return something one has lost,”
Martin replied. Grace was very happy to hear that. They phoned the girl by dialing the phone number and got
through to the girl’s mother. After their telling her about the her daughter’s phone, then the girl answered the
phone and expressed her gratitude repeatedly. Even on the other end of the line, Martin could felt her excitement.
Then the three met at the same cafe. Seeing the girl’s broad smile, Martin never felt more relieved. He was
grateful that he resisted the evil temptation and stuck to being honest.
