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,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。
A
Here are four student podcasts (播客) that offer a glimpse into the minds of students
and what they say about news concerning climate in their communities — and what they
hope to do about it.
Behind the Scenes of the Mosquito Fire
In a 10-episode series, a sixth-grade class at the Georgetown School of Innovation in
Georgetown, Calif., shares stories from the damaging Mosquito Fire in 2022. This group of
eight students asks two firefighters from the Georgetown Fire Department what it’s like to
fight fires and protect loved ones in their hometown.
Fires: Set Ablaze
At Chautauqua Elementary, the Vashon fifth-graders talk about the far-reaching and
lasting impact of wildfires and wildfire smoke — and the direct effects on their lives, like
waiting for the school bus on a smoky day. The students also interview experts and share
their research on wildfire precautions (预防措施).
Flowing Through TimeIn this podcast from Peak Academy, a group of eight middle schoolers reports on
dealing with water shortages in Bozeman, Montana. They trace the history of their growing
hometown’s water supply, which has been dependent on mountain snowmelt. As that source
becomes less reliable in a warming world, the students turn to the grown-ups to ask what
they can do to conserve water.
Washed Away
The deadly flooding in eastern Kentucky last year forever changed the lives of high
schoolers Ryley Bowman, Carolina Johnson and Hunter Noble. The three classmates at
Morgan County High School in West Liberty, Ky., share firsthand accounts of their own
and their family’s experiences during the floods.
21. Who shows interest in firefighters’ stories?
A. Peak Academy students. B. Chautauqua Elementary students.
C. Morgan County High School students. D. Georgetown School of Innovation
students.
22. Which podcast shows concern for water conservation?
A. Washed Away. B. Fires: Set Ablaze.
C. Flowing Through Time. D. Behind the Scenes of the Mosquito
Fire.
23. What do Fires: Set Ablaze and Washed Away have in common?
A. They consult experts’ research results.
B. They explore the causes of climate change.
C. They share students’ personal experiences.
D. They discuss precautions for natural disasters.
B
Now my dad is one of those people who never seem to have much trouble figuring
out how to make money. Sure, Mom and Dad had some trouble keeping it for a little
while during the bankruptcy (破产) years, but bringing home a good income was never
really a problem. That’s because my parents have never been confused about where money
comes from.
It’s something my dad has told me pretty much every day: Money comes from work.
Our culture has made many wonderful advances to ensure the safety and well-being of
children. But we may have taken this too far. Many parents today are so centered on whattheir children want that they have lost perspective on what their children really need.
Perspective — looking at life over time — demands that you teach children to work.
Teaching a child to work is not child abuse. We teach them to work not for our benefit,
but because it gives them both dignity in a job well done today and the tools and
character to win in the future as adults.
You should view teaching your children to work in the same way you view teaching
them to bathe and brush their teeth — as a necessary skill for life. If your child graduates
from high school and his only skill set consists of playing video games, complaining and
eating junk food, then you have set him up to fail.
Another huge benefit of teaching a child the wonder of work is that she will tend to
stay away from people who refuse to work. Why is this good? Because you want your
daughter to marry Mr. Right, not Mr. Lazy.
So train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not go
away from it.
24. Which of the following can best describe the author’s dad?
A. Generous. B. Hardworking. C. Considerate. D. Confident.
25. According to paragraph 2, what are parents today supposed to do?
A. To instruct children to work. B. To focus on children’s needs.
C. To ensure children’s well-being. D. To maintain the
dignity of children.
26. What’s the benefit children can get from work?
A. Getting rid of bad habits. B. Helping support
the family.
C. Learning to use money wisely. D. Keeping away from lazy people.
27. Which column does the text possibly come from?
A. Career planning. B. Parental education.
C. Financial management. D. Parent-child relationship.
C
July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires
have swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heat waves are damaging the world’s
third-largest coral reef off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to
increase, it means many even hotter summers lie ahead.Last week, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres coined a new term.
The time of “global warming” has ended, he announced, and the time of “global boiling”
has arrived.
But critics have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, “global boiling” is
clearly an overstatement, but “global warming” is now far too weak a description. Many
climate scientists have pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference.
Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because
many of us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with our own eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and relevant events have
struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the
size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood
in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods.
Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice
exports due to damage from heavy rain.
Critics of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis
talk”. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a
Hollywood-style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen and act — now we
can see what climate change looks like.
Are there better phrases to describe this? Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: can
you think up a brief, correct phrase to cover worsening local-and-regional-scale droughts,
fires, typhoons and floods; damage to crops and food safety; water shortages; existential
threats to coral reefs and low-lying communities? You can see how hard it is.
28. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Explained. B. Invented. C. Valued. D. Accepted.
29. What do critics think of the term “global boiling”?
A. It is overused. B. It is exaggerated.
C. It is lacking in enough attention. D. It is too weak
to describe the problem.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Climate crises are worsening. B. Several crises will be solved.
C. People will face food shortages. D. People are
taking effective measures.31. What is Guterres’s hope in using deeply impactful phrases?
A. To scare people into taking immediate action.
B. To entertain readers with Hollywood-style stories.
C. To provide a more accurate description of global warming.
D. To make people aware of the severity of the climate crisis.
D
Living in a city, you may face fewer parking spaces, more pollution, less personal
space, and more traffic and noise, all of which contribute to higher stress levels, often
translating to aggression (攻击行为). And now, researchers have found evidence that this
behavior applies to song sparrows (歌雀) too. But it comes with a surprising benefit to the
youngest generation of city sparrows.
There are fewer city-living song sparrows than in the countryside. However, the
increased aggression observed in the males can be connected to a more pressing need to
defend territories in urban settings. But that increased aggression doesn’t mean the males
fail in their duties as fathers. In fact, the researchers were surprised to find that the
opposite may be true.
“Male songbirds are thought to reduce parental care when they are more aggressive.
Yet this study showed that urban male song sparrows provided more care for their young,”
says Dr Samuel Lane, lead author of the study. “Against our expectations, we found that
they visited nests more often and were more successful parents than the males in the
countryside.”
The researchers carried out their studies at six sites across southwest Virginia, USA,
across four breeding (繁殖) seasons. They found that the high survival rate of their chicks
was subject to many factors. Not only did male sparrows visit their nests more often, but
they also began feeding chicks earlier in the day. Despite the challenges of being a city
bird, hatching success was observed to be higher in urban habitats. And even though brood
parasitism, one species laying eggs in the nest of another, is typically higher in urban
areas, the researchers observed that rates of nest predation, the act of other animals eating
eggs or young birds, were lower, further contributing to the overall nesting success of
these sparrows.
Lane said, “Our study adds to growing evidence that certain species of songbirds even
benefit from living in urban environments when there is enough green space for them tofind food and nest locations.”
The team hope ongoing research in this area will contribute to the establishment of
urban environments aimed at offering improved support for wildlife.
32. What causes the increased aggression of male city sparrows?
A. The stress of protecting their territories. B. The worsening of urban noise
pollution.
C. The challenges of building their nests. D. The growing needs of younger
generations.
33. What had the researchers expected of urban males compared to those in the
countryside?
A. They lived shorter lives. B. They had a higher population.
C. They had lower nest attendance. D. They woke up earlier in the
morning.
34. Which of the following can be found in urban areas according to the study?
A. Higher nest locations. B. Reduced brood parasitism.
C. Limited breeding seasons. D. Lower nest predation rates.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. City Male Birds Do It All B. Aggressive Birds Surprise Scientists
C. Big City Life Makes Birds Better Dads D. The Future of City Birds Lies in
Our Hands

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
At first glance, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl
Earring. 3 6 Wearing two glowing earrings, there’s a slightly inhuman shade of red on the
girl’s face.
Look strange? 3 7 Chosen from 3,482 submitted images based on the Vermeer
masterpiece, the AI-generated work was displayed at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands in
March. The designer looked on the experience of literally replacing the famous painting by one
of his AI images crazy and completely surreal.
38 Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice
picture and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it wasqualified to be shown in the museum gallery. 3 9 It was regarded as a disrespect for the
masterpiece of Vermeer and also for any working artist.
In fact, this is not the first time that people have debated AI’s role in creativity. 40 But
the technology has now become widely available for regular everyday use and the practice of using
AI image generators to make art has become more common.
A. Coming from a museum, it’s really embarrassing.
B. However, the AI image raised a fierce argument.
C. But look more closely and you may find something different about it.
D. One common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws.
E. Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as almost Frankenstein-ish.
F. It’s actually an image made by Berlin-based designer Julian van Dieken using artificial
intelligence.
G. The emergence of such AI works is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm of artists
with creative skills.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’m used to people staring at me: Strange looks because of the strange sounds my brother
makes.
Public places have been difficult places for my family to deal with ever since Myles was
diagnosed with autism (诊断为自闭症) at the age of two. I built a wall around my heart, a shell to
protect my weakest parts from other people’s opinions about my family. It hurt too much when they
didn’t understand, so I told myself it didn’t matter.
So when I found myself at a restaurant with my brother, who started screaming and hitting the
table, I looked up with cautious eyes at the middle-aged woman approaching. Her face was perfectly
peaceful as she assessed the situation at the table with my brother and me. I readied my comeback.
If she had a complaint about my brother’s behavior, I was prepared to pull the trigger and give her
the piece of my mind I had held onto before.
“Hi, how are you doing?” she asked, her tone kind, her eyes steady. “I’m fine,” I said carefully. “I
hope you don’t mind me asking,” she continued. “But does your brother have autism?” I was surprised.
“Yeah, he has autism,” I replied to the lady, who was waiting patiently. “Well, I raised a child with
autism,” she began. Great. Now she really felt like she could tell me how to take care of my brother. I
didn’t want to hear it. “I know you don’t know me, but my name is Pam,” she said, reaching to touch
Myles’ shoulder.
“Like I said, I raised a child with autism, and if you ever need any help, please call me.” I lookedat the hand she offered, holding a piece of paper with her name and number on it. “I can help you,”
she said. “If you ever want me to watch him for you. Give you guys a break.”
注意:
（1）续写词数应为150个左右;
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I couldn’t speak because I got emotional and was about to cry.
I did call her, and she became as close as family and taught us a lot.
