The First Space Cat
In a few weeks, space scientists will celebrate a remarkable event — the 60th anniversary of the launch of the
first cat into space, an astronautical success that has never been repeated.
In the early 60s, dogs and monkeys were the animals usually used by scientists to find out exactly 21
dangerous the conditions were in outer space. And they were also used to assess if humans 22 survive
trips beyond the edge of Earth’s atmosphere.
A total of 14 street cats 23 (gather) at France’s space agency for selection as cat astronauts, but the
cats were not given names on purpose in order to prevent scientists from becoming too fond of them. The cat
selected to travel to space was simply known 24 C341. C341 flew on a French rocket in October 1963,
taking it to a place 25 no cat had gone before.
Then, 26 the news of its flight was announced on 18 October 1963, the French press decided this cat
had to have its name. They picked “Felix” after a cartoon cat character, only 27 (discover) that C341 was
female, so her name was then adjusted to “Felicette” as a result. In putting Felicette in one of its rockets, France
added a new species to the list of animals that scientists 28 (send) into space before. Previously, twogarden spiders, Anita and Arebella, had been taken to the Skylab 29 (orbit) around the moon.
“In the 60s, 30 (concern) about the possible danger for a human to be in outer space, scientists and
engineers primarily undertook animal space flights to see if they suffered or their lives were threatened by the
weightlessness or increased radiation or other effects they might experience up there,” said astronomer Jake Foster
at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. “The fact that they did not fail paved the way for humans to begin journeys
into space.”

Boat of PowerDragon boat racing began in China more than 2,000 years ago as part of a cultural community
event to memorize the ancient poet, Qu Yuan. The traditional holiday was a time to perform 31 for good
fortune and well-being, and to drive off evil spirits. Over time, dragon boat racing 32 into a global sport.
The Toronto-based Dragons Abreast team stands out at this sport for a few reasons. For one, the79-member
team includes people ranging in age from 30 to 93. Prior to joining Dragons Abreast, some members hadn’t been
part of a sports team since childhood and wouldn’t have described themselves as particularly athletic ones. And
what has brought these women together is something 33 — living with breast cancer.
The breast cancer survivors on this team are in the same boat in every way. For many, being part of a
community that knows 34 how life changes after breast cancer is as beneficial as the physical gains. The
team offers a supportive space to 35 all the complexities of survivorship.
“I was so surprised at how 36 the racing was for me,” says Liz Johnston Hill, the race coordinator for
Dragons Abreast. “It’s almost overwhelming how people encourage, no matter what.”
Being out on the water and connecting to the environment is an important aspect of dragon boating for many
of the team members. They talk about how it provides 37 of peace and encourages mindfulness, something
we could all use more of in our lives. Outside of dragon boat, the members are a(n) 38 part of each other’s
life. “We’ve all been through 39 the same thing in our various ways,” says the race coordinator Liz
Johnston Hill. While the number of breast cancer survivor teams grows, barriers to the sport remain such as cost,
time, 40 to water and practice facilities and the lack of cultural and language diversity. But there are
ongoing efforts to introduce more people living with breast cancer to dragon boat.

（2024·上海徐汇·统考一模）Acupuncture(针灸), an ancient Chinese medical practice, has been the remedyfor countless patients for thousands of years. Before modern medicine came to life, ancient Chinese used stone
tools to 41 pain. Over time, this primitive practice 42 evolved into a comprehensive and profound
medical system and 43 the root of acupuncture.
Acupuncture is a treatment that aims to 44 the body’s self-regulating functions. Its therapeutic
principles are in line with the 45 concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, which emphasizes all-inclusive

yin and yang balance; and stimulate the body’s innate 51 to heal itself.
Looking beyond China, acupuncture has become a global 52 . Over the years, acupuncture has seen
many advancements in scientific research and modern medicine. It is now a mainstream 53 and
complementary treatment for a variety of weaknesses. According to a 2019 WHO report, acupuncture is used in 113
of its 120 member countries, 54 its widespread recognition and application.

（2024·上海长宁·统考一模）When I volunteered as a social worker at a domestic violence shelter in a
developing country, I imagined the position for which my university experience had prepared me. I imagined
conducting intake interviews and walking around from organization to organization seeking support that the women
would need to rebuild their lives. When I arrived, I felt as if I already had months of experience, experience gainedin the hypothetical situations I had invented and subsequently resolved single-handedly. I felt thoroughly prepared
to tackle the situation I assumed was waiting for me.
I arrived full of zeal. Within moments, my reality made a sharp break from which I had expected. The
coordinator explained that the shelter’s need for financial self-sufficiency had become obvious. To address this, the
center was planning to open a bakery. I immediately enthused about the project, making many references to the
small enterprise case studies I had researched at the university. In response to my impassioned reply, the
coordinator declared me in charge of the bakery. At that moment, I was as prepared to bake bread as I was to run
for political office. The bigger problem, however, was that I was completely unfamiliar with the for-profit business
models necessary to run the bakery. I was out of my depth in a foreign river with only my coordinator’s confidence
to keep me afloat.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I began finding recipes and using the expertise of friends.
With their help making bread, printing leaflets and making contacts, the bakery was soon running successfully.
After a short time it became a significant source of income for the house.
In addition to funds, baking bread provided a natural environment to work with and get to know the women of
the shelter. Kneading dough (揉面团) side by side, I shared in the friendly atmosphere of the kitchen, treated to
stories about their children and the towns and jobs they had to leave behind to ensure their safety. Baking helped
me develop strong relationships with the women and advanced my understanding of their situations. It also
improved the women’s self-esteem. Their ability to master a new skill gave them confidence in themselves, and the
fact that the bakery contributed to the upkeep of the house gave the women a sense of pride and the confidence that
they had the capability to support themselves.
Baking gave me the opportunity to work in a capacity I had not at all expected, but one that proved very
successful. Learning to bake gave me as much newfound self-confidence as it gave the women, and I found that
sometimes quality social work can be as simple as kneading dough.
59．The primary purpose of the passage is to show how the author .
A．was shocked by the reality
B．broadened the scope of her work
C．developed her abilities to run a for-profit enterprise
D．handled a tough situation in a developing country
60．The statement that the author arrived “full of zeal” indicates that she was .
A．anxious and insecure B．confident but uninformed
C．eager and interested D．enthusiastic but incompetent
61．Why was the author initially enthusiastic about the idea of the bakery?
A．She considered it from a theoretical point of view.
B．She hoped to get a leadership position in the bakery.
C．She wanted to show her baking skills to her new coordinator.
D．She believed it is a good way to raise women’s self-esteem.
62．What did the last sentence (“Learning ... dough”) indicate?A．The author underestimated her abilities to learn new skills.
B．The author derived benefit from her work by helping others.
C．The author lacked self-confidence as much as the women working with her.
D．The author found performing social work surprisingly easy with no education.

（2024·上海杨浦·统考一模）Homing pigeons combine precise internal compasses and memorized
landmarks to re-trace a path back to their lofts — even four years after the previous time they made the trip, a new
study shows.
Testing nonhuman memory retention (保持) is challenging; in research studies, “it’s rare that there is a gap of
several years between when an animal stores the information and when it is next required to retrieve it,” says
University of Oxford zoologist Dora Biro. For a recent study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Biro and
her colleagues compared domestic homing pigeons’ paths three or four years after the birds established routes back
to their loft from a farm 8.6 kilometers away. The study built on data from a 2016 experiment in which pigeons
learned routes in different social contexts during several flights — on their own or with peers that did or did not
know the way.
Using data from GPS devices temporarily attached to the birds’ backs, the researchers compared the flight
paths a pack of pigeons took in 2019 or 2020, without the birds visiting the release site in between. Some birds
missed a handful of landmarks along the way, but many others took “strikingly similar” routes to those they used in
2016, says Oxford zoologist and study co-author Julien Collet: “It was...as if the last time they flew there was just
the day before, not four years ago.”
The team found that the pigeons remembered a route just as well if they first flew it alone or with others and
fared much better than those that had not made the journey in 2016.
The result is not surprising, says Verner Bing-man, who studies animal navigation at Bowling Green State
University and was not involved with the study. But it provides new confirmation of homing pigeons’ remarkable
memory, he says: “It closes the distance a little bit between our self-centered sense of human intellectual abilities
and what animals can do.”
63．The underlined word “retrieve” is closest in meaning to ________.
A．reserve B．return C．recover D．record
64．Which of the following conclusions may be found in the recent study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society
B ?
A．Pigeons remember specific routes home after years away.
B．Pigeons remember routes better when flying with others.
C．Pigeons can find their way back though taking different routes.
D．Pigeons can retrace the path home through an attached GPS device.
65．Which of the following is TRUE about the 2016 experiment?
A．Oxford zoologist Julien Collet designed the experiment procedure.
B．GPS devices were attached permanently to collect data about flight routes.C．The experiment was designed to eliminate pigeons that missed key landmarks.
D．Pigeons were made to fly from the release site to their lofts several times.
66．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Humans need to adopt a more rigid approach to pigeons’ memory.
B．Humans are blinded by superiority when it comes to animal intelligence.
C．Riddles about animals are too complex to be solved in the foreseeable future.
D．There have been mixed responses to the findings about pigeons’ memory.

（2024上·上海青浦·高三统考期末）How Young Americans Spend Their Money
Young people have always puzzled their elders. Today’s youngsters are no different; indeed, they are
confusing. They have thin wallets and expensive tastes. They prize convenience and a social conscience. They want
shopping to be personal. 67 As they start spending in earnest, brands are trying to understand what
these walking paradoxes with conflicting features want and how they shop. The answers will define the next era of
consumerism.
Their absolute numbers are impressive. The European Union is home to nearly 125m people between the ages
of ten (the youngest will become consumers in the next few years) and 34. America has another 110m of these Gen-
Zs and millennials, a third of the population. The annual spending of households headed by American Gen-Zs and
millennials hit $2.7trn in 2021, around 30% of the total.
68 Forrester, a market-research firm, found that most users of “buy now, pay later” apps are
around 20. Megan Scott, a 20-year-old student from London, speaks for many of her peers by admitting that, when
shopping, she has no self-control—until the bill arrives.
The light-speed online world also appears to have lowered tolerances for long delivery times. A study by
Salesforce, a business-software giant, found that Gen-Z Americans, who prefer to use their phones to pay for
shopping, are the likeliest of all age groups to want their groceries delivered within an hour. 69
The Internet has also changed how the young discover brands. Print, billboard or TV advertising has given
way to social media. Instagram, part of Meta’s empire, and TikTok, a Chinese-owned app, are where the young
look for inspiration, particularly for goods where looks matter such as fashion, beauty and sportswear. 70
Such apps are increasingly adding features that allow users to shop without ever leaving the platform. According to
McKinsey, six in ten Americans under the age of 25 had completed a purchase on a social-media site.
A．They desire genuineness while constantly immersed in a digital world.
B．TikTok’s user-generated videos can lead even tiny brands to speedy viral fame.
C．The lifestyle of the “moonlight clan” has made many young people feel overwhelmed.
D．Easy access to means of spreading payments may encourage spending money like water.
E．A heightened expectation of convenience comes with being raised in the age of Amazon.
F．These “always-on purchasers” often shift from a weekly shop to quicker fixes of everything from fashionto furniture.
IV. Summary Writing(共10分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
（2023·上海·一模）Are Oceans Silent?
Most sea creatures, from whales and dolphins to fish, sharks and shrimps, respond to sound, and many can
produce it. They use it to hunt and to hide, find mates and food, send messages and give warnings, establish
territories, warn off competitors, confuse their targets, deceive enemies, and sense changes in water and conditions.
Marine animals click bones, grind teeth and belch gases (磨牙打嗝); use special organs to make various noises.
Far from the ‘silent deep’, the oceans are so noisy.
Into this age-long confused noise, in the blink of an evolutionary eye, has entered a new thunder: the trembling
sound of mighty engines as 46,220 large ships passed the world’s shipping courses. Scientists say that background
noise in the ocean has increased roughly by 15 decibels (分贝) in the past 50 years. It may not sound like much in
overall terms, but it is enough, according to many marine biologists, to mask the normal sounds of ocean life going
about its business. At its most intense, some even say noise causes whales to become disoriented, dolphins to suffer
from ‘the bends’, fish to go deaf, leave their breeding grounds or fail to form groups—enough to disorganize the
basic biology of two thirds of the planet.
“Undersea noise pollution is like the death of a thousand cuts”, says Sylvia Earie, chief scientist of the U.S.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Each sound in itself may not be a matter of critical concern,
but taken all together, the noise from shipping, earthquake-related surveys, and military activity is creating a totally
different environment than existed even 50 years ago. That high level of noise is bound to have a hard, sweeping
impact on life in the sea.
