Australia Shocked by Shooting at Popular Beach
On Sunday, two men began shooting at a large group of people gathered for a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi
Beach in Sydney, Australia.
Hanukkah is an important Jewish holiday. This year, hundreds of people had gathered on Bondi Beach, a
popular tourist spot, to celebrate.
Around 6:45 in the evening, two men – a father and son – began shooting at the crowd, leaving at least 16
people dead. Over 40 others were injured. The older attacker was killed by police. The younger shooter is in the
hospital. Police say they found two bombs nearby.
Australia’s government says the shooting was a terrorist attack, and that the men were targeting Jewish
people. Worldwide, attacks on Jewish people have increased since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out
over two years ago.
读时文精读
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, “An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every
Australian.”
A man called Ahmed el Ahmed is being celebrated as a hero after he tackled one of the gunmen and took his
weapon away. Mr. el Ahmed, who came to Australia from Syria in 2006, was unarmed.
The leader of New South Wales, Chris Minns, says Mr. el Ahmed “saved countless lives”.
After a terrible shooting in 1996, Australia passed some of the strictest gun laws in the world. Mr. Albanese
says the country will now work to make its gun laws even stricter.

【答案】1.celebration 2.hundreds 3.a 4.leaving 5.was killed 6.that 7.have increased 8.called 9.who
10.stricter
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了澳大利亚邦迪海滩枪击事件。
1.celebration 考查词形转换。周日，两名男子在悉尼邦迪海滩向参加光明节庆祝活动的群众开枪射击。根据
前文的介词for 和冠词a 可知，此处用名词作宾语。故填celebration。
2.hundreds 考查数词。今年，数百人聚集在热门旅游胜地邦迪海滩庆祝。此处hundreds of 表示不定数，此
处是几百的意思。故填hundreds。
3.a 考查冠词。今年，数百人聚集在热门旅游胜地邦迪海滩庆祝。此处spot 是可数名词，所以前面要加不
定冠词a。故填a.
4.leaving 考查现在分词。一对父子持枪向人群开火，造成至少16 人死亡。此处是现在分词短语作结果状语，
表示自然的结果。故填leaving。
5.was killed 考查动词时态和语态及主谓一致。年长的袭击者被警方击毙了。根据前文的Around 6:45 in the
evening 可知，事件发生在过去具体的时间，故用一般过去时，因主语是单数。故填was killed。
6.that 考查名词性从句的连接词。此处that 引导宾语从句，此处不作成分，没有意思，只起连接作用。但从
第二个宾语从句开始，连接词that 不能省略。故填that。
7.have increased 考查动词时态及主谓一致。自两年前以色列与哈马斯爆发冲突以来，全球范围内针对犹太
人的袭击事件持续增加。根据后文的since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out over two years ago 可知，
此处用现在完成时。因主语是attacks 复数，故填have increased。
8.called 考查过去分词作定语。 一名叫艾哈迈德·艾哈迈德的男子因制服持枪歹徒并夺走其武器而被奉为英
雄。此处是过去分词短语作定语，意为：被称作……的。故填called。
9.who 考查定语从句。艾哈迈德先生2006 年从叙利亚移民澳大利亚，当时并未携带武器。此处Mr. el
Ahmed 先行词，who 引导定语从句。故填who。
10.stricter 考查形容词的比较级。澳大利亚出台了全球最严格的枪支管控法规。阿尔巴内塞先生表示，该国
将致力于进一步强化枪支法律。此处even 修饰形容词比较级，其是重要的做题线索。另外根据句意也可判
断。故填stricter。

Passage1 阅读理解
Beside pencils, sharpeners and calendars in classrooms throughout Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools,
there are now big blue boxes with a red button and the word “POLICE”. The button sends a text message to
emergency dispatchers (调度员), alerts the rest of the school to potential danger, and activates 1,200 pounds of
magnetic force to keep the class door shut.
It’s one of the measures that Michael Baumann has employed to harden the schools in his district and protect
against active shooters since he became supervisor in 2017. He hired four more advisers to improve mental-health
services, established a team to monitor potential threats of violence, and spent $14. 4 million installing the
emergency-alert system and building ballistic (弹道的) panels into walls that are designed to stop bullets — all
aimed at helping students and teachers survive an active shooter.
Fear of shootings has turned school security into a booming industry. The market for school security
equipment and services reached $2.7 billion in 2017, according to a report by the research firm Omdia.
Research shows that the number of deadly shootings at schools has increased since 2012, during a period in
which protective measures also expanded.
There also isn’t clear evidence that school resource officers (SROs) improve safety. SROs were on the scene
in Uvalde and in Parkland before the gunmen entered the schools, but failed to stop those shootings.

“When we add metal detectors, observation cameras, increased police presence, active-shooter drills, and we
turn schools into this mix of fortresses and prisons. It can have some negative impacts,” says Bryan Warnick, an
education professor at Ohio State University who has studied school discipline.
Although many school districts invest in security in the hopes of preventing shootings or minimizing
casualties, some worry that hardening schools ultimately makes educators responsible for solving the gun violence
epidemic. “We ask schools to turn themselves upside down with trainings and new procedures,” Warnick says. It’s a
larger societal problem of easy access to firearms, of lack of access to mentalhealth care.
1．Why are so many protective measures taken by Michael Baumann in the schools?
A．To prevent active shooters.
B．To capture active shooters.
C．To monitor active shooters.
D．To help students and teachers survive active shooters.
2．What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A．The investment in school security has increased.
B．The protective measures help a lot.
C．The protective measures aim to catch shooters.
D．Schools are responsible for solving the gun violence epidemic.
3．What dose Bryan Warnick think about the protective measures taken in the schools?
A．They measures are useless.
B．They measures may affect schools negatively.
C．They measures have turned schools into a mix of fortresses and prisons.
D．They measures only result in the rise of investment in school security.
4．Which is the best title of the passage?
A．The Education in Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools
B．The Ways to Survive Active Shooters in Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools
C．The Protective Measures in Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools
D．The Rise of School Security Investment
【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕明尼苏达州莱克维尔地区学校采取的一系列校园安全防护措施展
开，报道了相关措施的内容、背景及引发的讨论。
1．细节理解题。根据第二段“He hired four more advisers to improve mental-health services, established a team
to monitor potential threats of violence, and spent $14. 4 million installing the emergency-alert system and building
ballistic (弹道的) panels into walls that are designed to stop bullets—all aimed at helping students and teachers
survive an active shooter.(他又聘请了四名顾问来改善心理健康服务，成立了一个小组来监测潜在的暴力威
胁，并花费1440 万美元安装了紧急警报系统，并在墙上安装了防弹板，这些措施都是为了帮助学生和教师
在枪击事件中生存下来。)”可知，Michael Baumann 在学校里采取了保护措施是为了帮助学生和教师在枪击
事件中存活下来。故选D。
2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Fear of shootings has turned school security into a booming industry. The market
for school security equipment and services reached $2.7 billion in 2017, according to a report by the research firm
Omdia.(对枪击事件的恐惧使学校安全成为一个蓬勃发展的行业。根据研究公司Omdia 的一份报告，2017
年学校安全设备和服务市场规模达到27 亿美元。)”可知，对学校安全的投资增加了。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据第六段“‘When we add metal detectors, observation cameras, increased police presence,
active-shooter drills, and we turn schools into this mix of fortresses and prisons. It can have some negative
impacts,’ says Bryan Warnick, an education professor at Ohio State University who has studied school discipline.
(‘当我们增加金属探测器、监控摄像头、增加警察部署、进行枪击事件演练，并且把学校变成堡垒和监狱
的混合体时。这可能会产生一些负面影响，’ 俄亥俄州立大学研究学校纪律的教育学教授布莱恩
沃尼
・
克说。)”可知，布莱恩
沃尼克认为学校采取的保护性措施可能会对学校产生负面影响。故选
・
B。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了明尼苏达州莱克维尔地区学校采取的各种保护措施，包
括安装紧急警报系统、增加心理健康服务等，以及对这些措施的讨论。所以C 项“The Protective Measures
in Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools(明尼苏达州莱克维尔地区学校的保护措施)”能够概括文章主旨，适合
作为本文最佳标题。故选C。
【长难句分析】
【文章原句】Although many school districts invest in security in the hopes of preventing shootings or minimizing
casualties, some worry that hardening schools ultimately makes educators responsible for solving the gun violence
epidemic.
【句式分析】 这个句子是一个复合句。Although many school districts invest in security in the hopes of
preventing shootings or minimizing casualties 是让步状语从句，that hardening schools ultimately makes educators
responsible for solving the gun violence epidemic 是主句中的宾语从句。
【翻译】尽管许多学区投入安保资金以期预防枪击事件或减少伤亡，但有人担忧，强化校园安全措施最终会
使教育工作者承担起解决枪支暴力问题的责任。
Passage2 阅读理解
Three young American men were on a crowded train when they encountered a heavily armed terrorist. With
little regard for their personal safety, they rushed the terrorist and controlled him. Only some people seem capable
of this split-second form of heroism. Why some men rise to the occasion— and others don’t— has been a bit tricky
to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.
Of course, heroism and courage can appear in many forms, and men and women risk their reputations,
health, and social standing to do what they think is right. When it comes to physically risky bravery, people assume
that men will take the lead. There are sound biological reasons for this fixed image. One of the most common fears
in men is that they’ll be outed as a coward (懦夫), and a man who fails to display physical courage will suffer
damage to his reputation in a way that a woman will not. Throughout human history, attaining a position of high
status or dominance among one’s peers (同龄人) has been the ticket that needs to get punched for men to attract
mates and father children.
People tend to have an idea of what heroes are like. When rating the personalities of movie heroes,
participants expected them to be more careful and hard-working, open to experience, agreeable, and emotionally
stable than the average person! But some studies indicate that people who exhibit heroic behavior score high on
personality usually associated with madmen: risk-taking, sensation seeking, coolness under stress, and a tendency
to take over in social situations.
The study of the relationship between personality and heroism is at an early stage. Psychologists are still at a
loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person
who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might
hesitate during a crisis. Future disasters will cry out for further acts of true heroism. Hopefully, the right mix of
circumstances and personalities enable courage to carry the day.
5．How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph?
A．By giving an example.
B．By presenting a concept.
C．By explaining a theory.
D．By drawing a conclusion.
6．What do the underlined words “get punched” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Be purchased.
B．Be gifted.
C．Be obtained.
D．Be abandoned.
7．Why is it difficult to predict who will act heroically in a crisis?
A．Heroes and ordinary people are always difficult to tell apart.
B．Heroism is a phenomenon influenced by numerous factors.
C．Unknown circumstances play a crucial role in heroic acts.
D．Individual personality is not a reliable indicator of heroism
8．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．How Are Heroes Trained?
B．Who Are the True Heroes?
C．Why Are Heroes Essential?
D．What Makes a Person Heroic?
【答案】5．A 6．C 7．B 8．D
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“为什么有些人在关键时刻能展现出英勇行为，而有些人却不
能”这一主题进行论述，探讨了英勇行为的多种表现形式、生物学原因、与个性的关系以及研究的现状和
未来展望。
5．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Three young American men were on a crowded train when they encountered
a heavily armed terrorist. With little regard for their personal safety, they rushed the terrorist and controlled him.
Only some people seem capable of this split- second form of heroism. Why some men rise to the occasion— and
others don’t— has been a bit tricky to explain.(三名年轻的美国男子在一列拥挤的火车上遇到了一名全副武装
的恐怖分子。他们不顾个人安危，冲向恐怖分子并将其控制。只有一些人似乎能在这种千钧一发之际展现
出英勇行为。为什么有些人能在关键时刻挺身而出，而有些人却不能，这个问题一直难以解释。)”可知，
在第一段中，作者通过描述三名年轻美国男子在火车上遇到恐怖分子并控制其的情境，为文章的主题——
英勇行为的出现——提供了一个具体的例子。这种引入方式是通过实际事件或场景来吸引读者，并引导读
者进入文章的主题。故选A。
6．词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Throughout human history, attaining a position of high status or
dominance among one’s peers (同龄人) has been the ticket that needs to get punched for men to attract mates and
father children.(在人类历史上，在同龄人中获得高地位或支配地位一直是男性吸引伴侣和繁衍后代……的
“门票”。)”可知，男性需要“门票”来吸引伴侣和繁衍后代，这里“ticket”比喻为达到某个目的所需的条
件或资格，而“get punched”则比喻为“获得”这个条件或资格。选项A“Be purchased (被购买)”；选项
B“Be gifted (被赠送)”；选项C“Be obtained (被获得)”；选项D“Be abandoned (被放弃)”。故选C。
7．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically
step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself in extraordinary
circumstances. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate during a crisis. Future
disasters will cry out for further acts of true heroism. Hopefully, the right mix of circumstances and personalities
enable courage to carry the day. (心理学家仍然无法提前预测谁会在需要时英勇地挺身而出。通常，英雄只是
一个在非凡情况下发现自己身处其中的普通人。同时，一些接受过英勇行为训练的人在危机时刻可能会犹
豫不决。未来的灾难将呼唤更多的真正英勇行为。希望合适的情境和个性的结合能让勇气战胜一切。)”可
知，英勇行为并不是由单一因素决定的，而是受多种因素影响的。此外，虽然个性与英勇行为之间有关系，
但研究仍处于初级阶段，且有些受过英勇行为训练的人在危机时刻也可能会犹豫。因此，很难根据个性或
其他单一因素来预测谁在危机中会表现出英勇行为。故选B。
8．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Why some men rise to the occasion— and others don’t— has been a bit
tricky to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.(为什么
有些人能在关键时刻挺身而出，而有些人却不能，这个问题一直难以解释。心理学家已通过生物学和个性
心理学对这个问题进行了探究。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了是什么因素促使一些人在关键时刻
展现出英勇行为，而其他人却不能。它涉及了英勇行为的多种表现形式、生物学原因、与个性的关系以及
研究的现状和未来展望。因此，文章的核心是探讨是什么造就了英雄，即是什么因素促使人们表现出英勇
行为。选项D“What Makes a Person Heroic?(是什么造就了英雄？)”准确地概括了文章的主题和核心内容。
故选D。

Passage 3 阅读七选五
（2025·四川省成都市模拟预测）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Nobody prays to have their home broken into or property stolen.
1
According to a recent report
making the rounds on the Internet at least one home is burgled every 15 seconds in the United States. So, how do
you protect your home and property from these evildoers?
First of all, plant security cameras in plain sight.
2
Having a camera in plain sight will instantly
prevent criminals from attempting any bad activity they may have in mind. Besides, it sends a message to criminals
that there are probably some other security measures in place.
Having security cameras in open places leaves room for tampering ( 做手脚). Professional thieves and
burglars may tamper with the camera or even try to avoid the line of coverage of the camera while carrying out
their operation. This is why it makes sense to have a second line of defense—a hidden camera.
3
Again,
the wireless camera referenced above works here, too.
Whether you’re new in an area or not, it’s advisable to be friends—or at least be on good terms—with your
neighbors. This helps to keep an extra eye of protection on your house, especially when you’re not around. In case
of a break-in attempt, your neighbors will most likely be the first to know someone is attempting to break into your
property.
4
Finally, make sure every single door in your house has up-to-date, durable frames and protective hinges (铰
链).
5
But beyond that, the kind of effort it would take to break such doors down will surely create some
noise, which will likely alert your neighbors there’s been a break-in.
A．This idea makes sense for some reasons.
B．But actually these things happen every day.
C．Home security is a term that involves multiple aspects.
D．They will contact the police or try to scare the burglar off.
E．It will reveal the criminals’ identities in case of a break-in.
F．Gone are the days of the complicated home security systems.
G．On the surface, this will stop criminals stealing into your property.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．E 4．D 5．G
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是保护家庭和财产安全免受盗窃等犯罪行为侵害的方法和措施。
1．空后“According to a recent report making the rounds on the Internet at least one home is burgled every 15
seconds in the United States.(根据最近在互联网上流传的一份报告，在美国，每15 秒至少有一个家庭被
盗。)”说明家庭被盗发生的频率很高，B 选项“But actually these things happen every day.(但实际上这些事情
每天都在发生。)”说明了家庭被盗每天都在发生，说明了频率很高，引起下文，符合语境，故选B。
2．空前“First of all, plant security cameras in plain sight.(首先，把监控摄像头放在显眼的地方。)”是一个方
法，也就是在显眼的地方装个监控摄像头，空后“Having a camera in plain sight will instantly prevent
criminals from attempting any bad activity they may have in mind. Besides, it sends a message to criminals that
there are probably some other security measures in place.(在显眼的地方安装摄像头会立即阻止犯罪分子企图进
行他们可能想到的任何不良活动。此外，它向犯罪分子发出了一个信息，即可能还有其他一些安全措
施。)”解释了装监控的好处，空格处应该是承上启下，说明装监控是有意义的，A 选项“This idea makes
sense for some reasons.(出于某些原因，这个想法是有道理的。)”说明了装监控是有意义的，承上启下，符
合语境，故选A。
3．空前“This is why it makes sense to have a second line of defense—a hidden camera.(这就是为什么有第二道
防线——隐藏摄像头是有意义的。)”说明了要装隐藏摄像头，空格处应该说装隐藏摄像头的好处，E 选项
“It will reveal the criminals’ identities in case of a break-in.(一旦有人闯入，它将暴露罪犯的身份。)”说明了装
隐藏摄像头可以暴露罪犯的身份，承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
4．空前“In case of a break-in attempt, your neighbors will most likely be the first to know someone is attempting
to break into your property.(如果有人试图闯入，你的邻居很可能是第一个知道有人试图闯入你的房子的
人。)”说明有人闯入你的房子时，邻居可能是第一个知道的，空格处应该继续说邻居然后会干什么，D 选
项“They will contact the police or try to scare the burglar off.(他们会报警或设法把窃贼吓跑。)”说明了邻居会
报警，承接上文，符合语境，故选D。
5．空前“Finally, make sure every single door in your house has up-to-date, durable frames and protective hinges
(铰链).(最后，确保你家里的每一扇门都有最新的、耐用的框架和保护铰链。)”说明了要确保门上有铰链，
空格处应该说有铰链的好处，G 选项“On the surface, this will stop criminals stealing into your property.(从表
面上看，这将阻止罪犯盗窃你的财产。)”说明了有铰链的好处，承接上文，符合语境，故选G。

She was newly pregnant and feeling

: Ever since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she told him, flying had made her nervous.
“Do you ever get nervous?” Shetterly asked. The man said that he didn’t. Then he leaned over, his face full

“Most people are good,” he said.
For Shetterly, it was like a

【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了发生在周一晚上的袭击事件。英国警方周二表示，周一晚上在曼
彻斯特火车站发生的三人被刺案被视为与恐怖活动有关。
1．考查介词。句意：英国警方对新年前夜发生的持刀袭击事件展开了“恐怖主义调查”。短语：
investigation into sth.“调查，侦察”，所以空处填介词into，故填into。
2．考查形容词。句意：当地时间周一21:00 前，一名25 岁的男子因涉嫌谋杀未遂被捕。空处应填形容词
修饰名词murder，attempted“未遂的”符合题意，attempted murder“谋杀未遂”，故填attempted。
3．考查非谓语。句意：三名受害者被送往附近一家医院，情况严重，但没有生命危险。空处在句中作定
语，动词threaten 与名词condition 为主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词转化的形容词threatening，作定语，
故填threatening。
4．考查连词。句意：一名50 多岁的女子面部和腹部受伤，同时另一名50 多岁的男子腹部受伤。分析可知，
空处前后内容表示并列关系，while 作并列连词时，意为“与……同时”，故填while。
5．考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：周一晚上，人们听到持刀者高喊“Allah”，然后在新年
前夕在曼彻斯特维多利亚火车站刺伤了一名警察和两名狂欢者。空处在句中为谓语，结合时间状语“on
Monday night”可知，动作发生在过去，所以时态为一般过去时；主语the knifeman 与动词hear 为动宾关系，
意为“这位持刀人被人们听到”，所以此处的语态为被动语态；主语为单数，所以助动词用was，故填
was heard。
6．考查介词。句意同上。具体日期前用介词on，on the New Year’s Eve“新年前夜”，故填on。
7．考查现在进行时的被动语态。句意：现场发现两把刀，目前正在 Cheetham Hill 地区搜查一处房产。空
处在句中为谓语，结合时间currently 可知，此处表示动作正在进行，且主语a property 为单数，与动词
search 为动宾关系，所以空处填is being searched，故填is being searched。
8．考查定语从句。句意：英国反恐警察正在调查这起发生在维多利亚车站的事件，维多利亚车站是一个
联合主线火车站，位于曼彻斯特市中心的北部。分析可知，“
8
, a combined mainline railway station, is
situated to the north of the city center of Manchester.”在句中为非限制性定语从句，先行词为Victoria Station，
代先行词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which，故填which。
9．考查定语从句。句意：刺杀现场接近曼彻斯特体育馆，在这里恐怖分子萨尔曼·阿贝迪在2017 年5 月的
一次自杀式炸弹袭击中杀害了22 人。分析可知，空处及之后的内容在句中为非限制性定语从句，先行词为
the Manchester Arena，空处指代先行词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where，故填where。
10．考查非谓语。句意：事件发生后，曼彻斯特阿尔伯特广场的除夕焰火表演继续进行，安保措施也有所
加强。分析可知，此处使用了with 的复合结构：with+ 宾语+ 过去分词，security 与动词increase 为动宾关
系，所以空处用过去分词increased，故填increased。
