Here are some national parks where visitors can enjoy varieties of wildlife.
Acadia National Park, Maine
The Atlantic Ocean meets the cliff-lined Maine coast at this popular park, providing habitat for wildlife with feet and flippers. From the shore, scan the water for marine life like sharks or gray seals（海豹）. On land, you might spot beavers, snowshoe hares, or bobcats. In between, in the intertidal zone, tide pools hold translucent anemones, sea urchins, snails, and sea stars.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
The park is a mixed ecosystem of oak-hickory forest, meadows, and wetlands sheltering a variety of animals. You can see water-loving mammals or snapping turtles. More than 200 species of bird live or migrate through the park, including nesting peregrine falcons and bald eagles.
Pinnacles National Park, California
Nearly being in extinction in the 1980s, the number of mighty California condors（兀鹫）now increases again over volcanic peaks. Intense recovery efforts, including a captive breeding（圈养繁殖）program, have brought a significant increase of the population, which was just 22in 1982. If you have binoculars, you’ll have a good chance of seeing condors flying in the mornings and evenings. Others include golden eagles, peregrine falcons and bees.
Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida
Contrary to its name, water makes up 99 percent of this park. Visitors can see five species of endangered sea turtles nest on the beaches or swimming. Book a snorkeling to explore the reefs, where green sea turtles, nurse sharks, and decorator crabs live am id corals. Divers can also access the Windjammer Wreck site, where a ship that sank（沉没） in 1907 provides a home for marine life.

As for Hallie Barnard, who was born with a rare blood disorder, a song, whose main idea is about a good friendship turning bad like the bad blood, meant a lot to her. The song represents her inborn struggle with a unique blood condition and the impact it has on her life.
At just 15 months old, Hallie was diagnosed（诊断）with Diamond-Blackfan anemia（DBA）, and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. Hallie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy. The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant（骨髓移植）and Hallie was eager for one. But she knew thousands of other patients were, too.
So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation, Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant,” she said. “So, so far we’ve tested over 8,000 people and we found over 300 matches.” After a 9-year wait, Hallie got her own match through her own foundation. The recovery was hard, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “I would just kind of daydream. And sometimes I would listen to her music and I would daydream about the singer and meeting her and seeing her in person,” Hallie said in her social media.
When the singer’s assistant heard about Hallie’s Heroes and knew about her wish, he was inspired to help the selfless little girl who turned her own health battle into a way to help others and decided to give Hallie the surprise of a lifetime. He offered two tickets to the singer’s concert in Houston. When Hallie received a call offering her the tickets, she was shocked and enthusiastically accepted and attended the concert with her mother in the front row.
Now Hallie has recovered. She no longer has “bad blood”. Thanks to her foundation, hundreds of others can say the same.
24. Why did the author mention the main idea of a song
A. To introduce the heroine of the text.
B. To show the author’s love for the song.
C. To explain how harmful the bad blood was.
D. To highlight the impact of the song on the author.
25. What do we know about Hallie’s life before the operation
A. She felt sorrow for herself.
B. She often went to the concert.
C. She sought for a bone marrow match.
D. She prepared for her own foundation.
26. What was Hallie’s initial purpose of setting up Hallie’s Heroes
A. To help patients with DBA. B. To be known by others.
C. To see her favorite singer. D. To save herself.
27. Which of the following can best describe Hallie
A. Caring and determined. B. Selfish but capable.
C. Helpful and wealthy. D. Inactive but lucky.
C
When I was in high school, my history teacher tried an experiment with a classmate known for her enthusiastic and expressive communication style. The girl had raised her hand to answer a question, and the teacher challenged her to reply while keeping her hands folded in her lap. I’ve never forgotten the sight of her struggling to get her words out while her hands were restrained（限制）.
We all, to some extent or another, talk with our hands. It’s part of how we communicate. But as Susan Goldin-Meadow, a professor and psychologist at the University of Chicago, explains in her newest book, that’s just the beginning.
What she discovered are an astonishing number of ways in which our hands not only help us to emphasize（or sometimes contradict）our spoken words, but how they also play a vital role in how we form our ideas. As Goldin-Meadow shows, even people blind from birth use gestures.
People who don’t have arms will experience a phantom（幻觉）feeling they are gesturing. We gesture when someone we’re talking to can’t see us, such as on the phone. We gesture when we’re all alone, trying to compose an email. We need to gesture to make sense of the world.
“Gestures and language really are a single integrated system. It’s not just a system that linguists study,” said Goldin-Meadow. “There’s so much information that isn’t captured by our words, and by all of the conventional things that we learn from language. For that purpose, certainly as a psychologist, I think it’s very important to take these kinds of things seriously.”
There’s a huge literature on body language. It really does convey lots of things—attitude perspective, sense of self, and more. Most of them are about how we feel, and our perception of our interaction. What the hands contribute—and the face can do this, too—is not just our attitudes to the conversation, but the content of the conversation.
28. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To share an experiment.
C. To tell an interesting story. D. To introduce a phenomenon.
29. How do gestures have an impact on communication
A. Limiting oral words. B. Stressing oral words.
C. Directing oral words. D. Interrupting oral words.
30. What is mostly conveyed in a speaker’s gestures
A. His habits. B. His character.
C. His contribution, D. His feelings.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Hand Gestures: A Way We Need To Do Everyday
B. Hand Gestures: A Language We Struggle To Understand
C. Hand Gestures: An Important And Silent Communication Method
D. Hand Gestures: An Easy Language Learning From Childhood
D
India’s robotic spacecraft landed on the moon undamagedly on August 23, 2023, a historic achievement for the country’s growing space program.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is the first ever to touch down at the lunar south pole. Many nations and private companies have set their sights on the region because of its ice, thought to be buried in the polar craters. The natural resources are coveted because they could supply drinking water, air, and rocket fuel for future missions, ushering a new era in spaceflight.
The success also means India has been one of countries who have landed a spacecraft on the moon. The victory comes four years after India’s previous mission, Chandrayaan-2, crashed.
An Indian official, who watched the live stream from Johannesburg, South Africa, said, “On this joyous occasion, I would like to address all the people of the world: India’s successful moon mission is not just India’s alone. This success belongs to all humanity.”
About 60 years have passed since the first unpiloted（无人驾驶的）moon landings, but touching down is still demanding. The moon’s atmosphere is very thin, providing virtually no drag to slow a spacecraft down as it approaches the ground. Furthermore, there are no GPS systems on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot. Engineers have to make up for these shortcomings from about 239,000 miles away.
Over the past four years, private companies and other nations have tried and failed. But perhaps now there’s more hope.
The Indian official said, “I’m confident that all countries in the world including those from the global south are capable of achieving such a success. We can all aspire（渴望）to the moon and beyond.”
32. What does the underlined word “covered” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Desired. B. Legal. C. Tough. D. Balanced.
33. What can we infer about Chandrayaan-2
A. It was connected by Chandrayaan-3.
B. It landed on the south surface of the moon.
C. It fell and broke when carrying out space mission.
D. It was the first to touch down at the south pole.
34. What makes it hard to land on the moon according to the text
A. The unfamiliar process for scientists.
B. The materials used to make the spaceship.
C. The shortage of previous successful cases.
D. The limitation of the moon’s atmosphere and technology.
35. What is the Indian official’s attitude to the future space exploration
A. Indifferent. B. Positive.
C. Objective. D. Doubtful.

Snuggling（偎依）up with your little one from an early age and diving into a book together is always a great way to spend time. 36 They will give your little one a flying start in life.

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。
Birthdays were a huge deal at my workplace. Co-workers went above and beyond to shower the person of honor with food, decorations, affirmations, love and, yes, embarrassment on their special day. As one who preferred to go unnoticed and felt embarrassed at being the center of attention, I was horrified to walk in on my birthday to see my desk decorated with glitter y streamers, and a hot pink sash（饰带）with the words, “Kneel! I’m the Birthday Princess”. I was forced to wear for the duration of the day.
Although embarrassed by the display, I felt extremely loved. I thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant flowers and delicious chocolate cake my co-workers gave me.
Several months after my birthday celebration, our office welcomed Laura, a new member, to the team. Hired as our office manager’s assistant, Laura was also tasked with establishing a human resources department. Possessing an ambitious vision and receiving trust from our manager, she immediately made major changes—which were not well received. Gradually, Laura became the centre of gossip（闲言碎语）.
When Laura’s spring birthday neared, it was evident that no one wanted to celebrate. I understood why no one wanted to go all-out in celebrating Laura’s birthday, but it bothered me nevertheless. As an extremely shy and introverted（内向的）individual, being left out or ignored was nothing foreign to me, and it pained me to think of the deliberate effort to ignore her birthday. Although she drove me crazy, too, I knew her time in our office had not been easy.
Stopping by our local grocery store, I selected some rosy-pink tulips and a birthday card in which I wrote a heartfelt note highlighting some of Laura’s qualities I admired, such as her ambitious spirit, creativity, and strong inner drive. Arriving an hour early to work the morning of her birthday, I transformed her corner of the office just like what my co-workers did for my birthday.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I watched Laura spot her decorated work area when she arrived. The friendship between Laura and me began since the lunch and continued to grow over the years.

W: Keep talking... I’m almost asleep.

参考范文：
I watched Laura spot her decorated work area when she arrived. She stopped dead in her tracks. She looked around confusedly, and then our eyes met. She seemed to have known the source of the birthday surprise. Later that morning, she invited me to have lunch with her at the restaurant close to our office. Over the lunch, she told me she was extremely sorrowful that morning because her family were not around and she felt ignored. Laura tearfully expressed the great impact my efforts had on her who expected a gesture of kindness and love more than she knew. Realizing how similar we were, I hugged her firmly.
The friendship between Laura and me began since the lunch and continued to grow over the years. Laura and I became inseparable friends. We supported each other through the ups and downs and formed a close bond that extended beyond the workplace. We discovered shared interests and spent weekends exploring new restaurants, going on hikes, and attending art exhibitions. We realized small gestures of kindness for our co-workers on their birthdays were important, which ensured that no one felt left out or ignored and made the office culture more compassionate and empathetic.

Here are some national parks where visitors can enjoy varieties of wildlife.
Acadia National Park, Maine
The Atlantic Ocean meets the cliff-lined Maine coast at this popular park, providing habitat for wildlife with feet and flippers. From the shore, scan the water for marine life like sharks or gray seals（海豹）. On land, you might spot beavers, snowshoe hares, or bobcats. In between, in the intertidal zone, tide pools hold translucent anemones, sea urchins, snails, and sea stars.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
The park is a mixed ecosystem of oak-hickory forest, meadows, and wetlands sheltering a variety of animals. You can see water-loving mammals or snapping turtles. More than 200 species of bird live or migrate through the park, including nesting peregrine falcons and bald eagles.
Pinnacles National Park, California
Nearly being in extinction in the 1980s, the number of mighty California condors（兀鹫）now increases again over volcanic peaks. Intense recovery efforts, including a captive breeding（圈养繁殖）program, have brought a significant increase of the population, which was just 22in 1982. If you have binoculars, you’ll have a good chance of seeing condors flying in the mornings and evenings. Others include golden eagles, peregrine falcons and bees.
Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida
Contrary to its name, water makes up 99 percent of this park. Visitors can see five species of endangered sea turtles nest on the beaches or swimming. Book a snorkeling to explore the reefs, where green sea turtles, nurse sharks, and decorator crabs live am id corals. Divers can also access the Windjammer Wreck site, where a ship that sank（沉没） in 1907 provides a home for marine life.
21. When introducing wildlife, the author divides the Acadia National Park into __________.
A. two areas B. three areas C. four areas D. five areas
22. How does the California condor increase its population

As for Hallie Barnard, who was born with a rare blood disorder, a song, whose main idea is about a good friendship turning bad like the bad blood, meant a lot to her. The song represents her inborn struggle with a unique blood condition and the impact it has on her life.
At just 15 months old, Hallie was diagnosed（诊断）with Diamond-Blackfan anemia（DBA）, and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. Hallie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy. The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant（骨髓移植）and Hallie was eager for one. But she knew thousands of other patients were, too.
So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation, Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant,” she said. “So, so far we’ve tested over 8,000 people and we found over 300 matches.” After a 9-year wait, Hallie got her own match through her own foundation. The recovery was hard, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “I would just kind of daydream. And sometimes I would listen to her music and I would daydream about the singer and meeting her and seeing her in person,” Hallie said in her social media.
When the singer’s assistant heard about Hallie’s Heroes and knew about her wish, he was inspired to help the selfless little girl who turned her own health battle into a way to help others and decided to give Hallie the surprise of a lifetime. He offered two tickets to the singer’s concert in Houston. When Hallie received a call offering her the tickets, she was shocked and enthusiastically accepted and attended the concert with her mother in the front row.
Now Hallie has recovered. She no longer has “bad blood”. Thanks to her foundation, hundreds of others can say the same.
24. Why did the author mention the main idea of a song
A. To introduce the heroine of the text.
B. To show the author’s love for the song.
C. To explain how harmful the bad blood was.
D. To highlight the impact of the song on the author.
25. What do we know about Hallie’s life before the operation
A. She felt sorrow for herself.
B. She often went to the concert.
C. She sought for a bone marrow match.
D. She prepared for her own foundation.
26. What was Hallie’s initial purpose of setting up Hallie’s Heroes
A. To help patients with DBA. B. To be known by others.
C. To see her favorite singer. D. To save herself.
27. Which of the following can best describe Hallie
A. Caring and determined. B. Selfish but capable.
C. Helpful and wealthy. D. Inactive but lucky.
C
When I was in high school, my history teacher tried an experiment with a classmate known for her enthusiastic and expressive communication style. The girl had raised her hand to answer a question, and the teacher challenged her to reply while keeping her hands folded in her lap. I’ve never forgotten the sight of her struggling to get her words out while her hands were restrained（限制）.
We all, to some extent or another, talk with our hands. It’s part of how we communicate. But as Susan Goldin-Meadow, a professor and psychologist at the University of Chicago, explains in her newest book, that’s just the beginning.
What she discovered are an astonishing number of ways in which our hands not only help us to emphasize（or sometimes contradict）our spoken words, but how they also play a vital role in how we form our ideas. As Goldin-Meadow shows, even people blind from birth use gestures.
People who don’t have arms will experience a phantom（幻觉）feeling they are gesturing. We gesture when someone we’re talking to can’t see us, such as on the phone. We gesture when we’re all alone, trying to compose an email. We need to gesture to make sense of the world.
“Gestures and language really are a single integrated system. It’s not just a system that linguists study,” said Goldin-Meadow. “There’s so much information that isn’t captured by our words, and by all of the conventional things that we learn from language. For that purpose, certainly as a psychologist, I think it’s very important to take these kinds of things seriously.”
There’s a huge literature on body language. It really does convey lots of things—attitude perspective, sense of self, and more. Most of them are about how we feel, and our perception of our interaction. What the hands contribute—and the face can do this, too—is not just our attitudes to the conversation, but the content of the conversation.
28. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To share an experiment.
C. To tell an interesting story. D. To introduce a phenomenon.
29. How do gestures have an impact on communication
A. Limiting oral words. B. Stressing oral words.
C. Directing oral words. D. Interrupting oral words.
30. What is mostly conveyed in a speaker’s gestures
A. His habits. B. His character.
C. His contribution, D. His feelings.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Hand Gestures: A Way We Need To Do Everyday
B. Hand Gestures: A Language We Struggle To Understand
C. Hand Gestures: An Important And Silent Communication Method
D. Hand Gestures: An Easy Language Learning From Childhood
D
India’s robotic spacecraft landed on the moon undamagedly on August 23, 2023, a historic achievement for the country’s growing space program.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is the first ever to touch down at the lunar south pole. Many nations and private companies have set their sights on the region because of its ice, thought to be buried in the polar craters. The natural resources are coveted because they could supply drinking water, air, and rocket fuel for future missions, ushering a new era in spaceflight.
The success also means India has been one of countries who have landed a spacecraft on the moon. The victory comes four years after India’s previous mission, Chandrayaan-2, crashed.
An Indian official, who watched the live stream from Johannesburg, South Africa, said, “On this joyous occasion, I would like to address all the people of the world: India’s successful moon mission is not just India’s alone. This success belongs to all humanity.”
About 60 years have passed since the first unpiloted（无人驾驶的）moon landings, but touching down is still demanding. The moon’s atmosphere is very thin, providing virtually no drag to slow a spacecraft down as it approaches the ground. Furthermore, there are no GPS systems on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot. Engineers have to make up for these shortcomings from about 239,000 miles away.
Over the past four years, private companies and other nations have tried and failed. But perhaps now there’s more hope.
The Indian official said, “I’m confident that all countries in the world including those from the global south are capable of achieving such a success. We can all aspire（渴望）to the moon and beyond.”
32. What does the underlined word “covered” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Desired. B. Legal. C. Tough. D. Balanced.
33. What can we infer about Chandrayaan-2
A. It was connected by Chandrayaan-3.
B. It landed on the south surface of the moon.
C. It fell and broke when carrying out space mission.
D. It was the first to touch down at the south pole.
34. What makes it hard to land on the moon according to the text
A. The unfamiliar process for scientists.
B. The materials used to make the spaceship.
C. The shortage of previous successful cases.
D. The limitation of the moon’s atmosphere and technology.
35. What is the Indian official’s attitude to the future space exploration
A. Indifferent. B. Positive.
C. Objective. D. Doubtful.

Snuggling（偎依）up with your little one from an early age and diving into a book together is always a great way to spend time. 36 They will give your little one a flying start in life.

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。
Birthdays were a huge deal at my workplace. Co-workers went above and beyond to shower the person of honor with food, decorations, affirmations, love and, yes, embarrassment on their special day. As one who preferred to go unnoticed and felt embarrassed at being the center of attention, I was horrified to walk in on my birthday to see my desk decorated with glitter y streamers, and a hot pink sash（饰带）with the words, “Kneel! I’m the Birthday Princess”. I was forced to wear for the duration of the day.
Although embarrassed by the display, I felt extremely loved. I thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant flowers and delicious chocolate cake my co-workers gave me.
Several months after my birthday celebration, our office welcomed Laura, a new member, to the team. Hired as our office manager’s assistant, Laura was also tasked with establishing a human resources department. Possessing an ambitious vision and receiving trust from our manager, she immediately made major changes—which were not well received. Gradually, Laura became the centre of gossip（闲言碎语）.
When Laura’s spring birthday neared, it was evident that no one wanted to celebrate. I understood why no one wanted to go all-out in celebrating Laura’s birthday, but it bothered me nevertheless. As an extremely shy and introverted（内向的）individual, being left out or ignored was nothing foreign to me, and it pained me to think of the deliberate effort to ignore her birthday. Although she drove me crazy, too, I knew her time in our office had not been easy.
Stopping by our local grocery store, I selected some rosy-pink tulips and a birthday card in which I wrote a heartfelt note highlighting some of Laura’s qualities I admired, such as her ambitious spirit, creativity, and strong inner drive. Arriving an hour early to work the morning of her birthday, I transformed her corner of the office just like what my co-workers did for my birthday.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I watched Laura spot her decorated work area when she arrived. The friendship between Laura and me began since the lunch and continued to grow over the years.

W: Excuse me, sir Can you tell me the quickest way to the post office from here
M: Yes, of course. It’s right around the corner. Just keep walking straight down this road, and then make a left at the next crossroads. It should be on your left-hand side next to a bus station. You’d better hurry, though. It’ll close in about ten minutes.

W: Help me make a list of what to buy on Friday.
M: Please don’t tell me your shopping plan on that day.

M: No way! I won’t allow that. You cannot ruin our Thanksgiving dinner because you need to buy some useless stuff.
W: But the deals are too good to pass up! 80% off TVs,75% off clothes... You can even get a new iPad for only 150 at some stores!
M: I’m sorry, but forget about it. We don’t need to keep buying things, especially on a holiday. We cannot ruin our family time for things we don’t really need.

M: Why are you turning so much You’re constantly waking me up.
W: I’m sorry. I just can’t fall asleep!
M: I don’t know what’s wrong with you. This is the third night in a row.
W: I really want to be able to sleep. What should I do
M: Did you try counting sheep
W: You mean, like in the cartoons Do you think that if I imagine sheep jumping over a fence one at a time, I’ll be able to sleep
M: It does sound silly, but it might work.
W: That sounds boring. Any other ideas
M: It’s supposed to be boring. That’s why it puts you to sleep. Don’t you fall asleep whenever you read a really boring history book And didn’t you ever fall asleep during a boring class at school When the teacher’s voice had no character, it just went on and on and on...
W: Keep talking... I’m almost asleep.

第二节
参考范文：
I watched Laura spot her decorated work area when she arrived. She stopped dead in her tracks. She looked around confusedly, and then our eyes met. She seemed to have known the source of the birthday surprise. Later that morning, she invited me to have lunch with her at the restaurant close to our office. Over the lunch, she told me she was extremely sorrowful that morning because her family were not around and she felt ignored. Laura tearfully expressed the great impact my efforts had on her who expected a gesture of kindness and love more than she knew. Realizing how similar we were, I hugged her firmly.
The friendship between Laura and me began since the lunch and continued to grow over the years. Laura and I became inseparable friends. We supported each other through the ups and downs and formed a close bond that extended beyond the workplace. We discovered shared interests and spent weekends exploring new restaurants, going on hikes, and attending art exhibitions. We realized small gestures of kindness for our co-workers on their birthdays were important, which ensured that no one felt left out or ignored and made the office culture more compassionate and empathetic.
