【原文】 A man woke up one day and surveyed his lands. “I need to buy another horse to help with the harvest,” he said to himself. And so the man set out for the market. He looked long and hard at the animals offered for sale before finally making an agreement with the owner of an expensive horse. The man would buy the horse on one condition: the owner had to allow the man to try out the animal before paying the money. The owner was puzzled. He had never heard of such a deal before, but he agreed to the man’s request. The man walked the horse home and put him in the straw yard with his other horses. He watched the animals to see how they would behave. Almost immediately, the new animal left the others and joined the laziest, fattest, and sleepiest-looking horse under the shade of a large tree. Seeing this, the man quickly led the horse back to the market. He gave the horse back to the owner and refused to buy it.

After nearly a decade of enduring the busy and noisy life in Las Vegas, Nevada, my family and I reached a decision to have a slower pace and adopt a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. We collectively agreed that moving to the countryside would be the perfect solution.
After some searching, we found a home in Yucca, Arizona, a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people. However, when I called to ask about the condition of the house, I was surprised to know that there was no electricity available in the area. Initially, I almost denied the idea of living here, but then I realized that it was an excellent opportunity to go green. After careful consideration, we decided to make an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
In the beginning, we faced challenges as we remodeled (改造) the house and lived in our motor home. However, these frustrations just made us work harder. We gradually fixed the things and after 38 days, we were able to move into the house.
Living off the grid (电线) has been a significant adjustment for us over the past four months, but it has also brought numerous benefits. One of the most educational lessons we have learned is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power, and gas for granted, but now they understand the need to be mindful of their usage. We have made changes such as taking shorter showers, doing full loads of laundry, and turning off the water while brushing our teeth. Additionally, we have embraced other sustainable practices like recycling, growing our own organic vegetables, and re-purposing items instead of throwing them away.
Overall, our decision to go off the grid has been incredibly positive for our family. We hope that even after our children move out, they will continue to keep the habits they have developed while living off the grid.

A. She had meant to reject the idea.
B. She was excited about the opportunity to go green.
C. She was unsure about whether to move or not.
D. She was disappointed and continued searching for other options.
26. What is one of the valuable lessons the family has learned from living off the grid
A. Repair the house before it rains. B. Have a new lifestyle is a trend.
C. The joy of growing their own vegetables. D. It is significant to save resources.

On the important occasion of the 20th anniversary of China’s first manned spaceflight the Shenzhou-5, the spacecraft soared into the sky from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on Thursday morning at 11:14 am.
Sitting atop the Long March-2F Y17 carrier rocket, the spacecraft, carrying taikonauts Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie, and Jiang Xinlin, set off on the journey toward the China Space Station. Following a smooth flight of around 10 minutes, the Shenzhou-17 spacecraft entered its planned orbit, marking a successful launch, according to the official release by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
Shenzhou-17 is a manned spacecraft with long-term space residency (驻留) capability. The spacecraft adopts the latest aerospace technology and has high autonomy and precise navigation capabilities, providing strong support for the development of China’s aerospace industry.
The main aim of the mission is to rotate (轮换) the crew in orbit with the Shenzhou-16, and then continue with a stay in space for about six months until April 2024. Also the astronauts will conduct a variety of scientific experiments and technological verification (技术验证) in space, including life sciences, physics, materials science, and other fields. These experiments will provide important scientific data and technological experience for human exploration of space. A significant highlight of the Shenzhou-17 mission, as revealed by the spokesperson, is the pioneering experimental extravehicular (舱外) repair operations to be undertaken on the space station. The increasing presence of space debris (碎片) has led to long-term operational spacecraft enduring unavoidable impacts from tiny space particles.
28. What does the word “taikonauts” mean in the second paragraph

Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默病),” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease.
Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.
“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones.”
Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.
32. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about
A. Causes of gum disease. B. The symptoms of brain shrinkage.
C. Ways to take good care of one’s teeth. D. The connection between the teeth and the brain.
33 How did researchers reach the conclusion
A. By making comparisons. B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By conducting a survey among dentists. D. By proving experts’ theory in experiments.
34. What do the research findings indicate
A. Gum disease is increasing among people.
B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance.
C. Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health.
D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.
35. What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi
A. Exploring treatments for gum disease.
B. Seeking new methods to improve brain health.
C. Involving people from other places in the research.
D. Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer’s disease.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据发表在2023年7月5日《神经病学》在线期刊上的一项研究，好好照顾你的牙齿可能与更好的大脑健康有关。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Our study found that gum (龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体) , which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease(我们的研究发现，牙龈疾病和牙齿脱落与海马体的大脑萎缩有关，海马体在记忆和阿尔茨海默病中起着重要作用)”可知，Yamaguchi的研究主要是关于牙齿健康与大脑之间的联系。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.(研究人员发现，牙齿的数量和牙龈疾病的数量与大脑左侧海马体的变化有关。对于患有轻度牙龈疾病的人来说，牙齿较少与大脑萎缩速度更快有关，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，牙齿较多也是如此。在对年龄进行调整后，研究人员发现，对于患有轻度牙龈疾病的人来说，由于少了一颗牙齿而增加的大脑萎缩率相当于近一年的大脑衰老。相比之下，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，多一颗牙齿导致的大脑萎缩的增加相当于1.3年的大脑衰老。)”可知，研究人员是通过作比较来得出结论的。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth(这些结果突出了保护牙齿健康的重要性，而不仅仅是维护牙齿)”可知，研究结果表明保持牙齿健康非常重要。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations. (这项研究的局限性在于它是在日本的一个地区进行的，因此结果可能不适用于其他地区。)”可知，目前的研究只局限于日本的一个地区，所以可以推测未来的研究希望会让其他地区的人参与进来。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要说明了如何在社区大学交到朋友。
【36题详解】
上文“Making friends in community college is a bit trickier than in four-year schools in some cases. Students don’t typically dorm at community colleges, so there isn’t always a shared living environment.(在某些情况下，在社区大学交朋友比在四年制大学要棘手一些。学生通常不住在社区大学，所以并不总是有一个共享的生活环境。)”提出在社区大学难交到朋友，下文“Here’s a look at how to make friends at a community college.(下面我们来看看如何在社区大学交朋友。)”却在讲在社区大学难交朋友的方法，上下文有转折关系。F项“然而，这并不意味着没有机会”承上启下，引出下文。故选F项。
【37题详解】
本段小标题“Get involved on campus (参与校园活动)”说明的是要参与校园活动，就有交友机会，因此C项“通过参加校园活动，你可以扩大你的社交圈，结交新朋友”符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
下文“Use these assignments as an opportunity to collaborate with classmates and build relationships. (利用这些作业作为与同学合作和建立关系的机会。)”说明通过与他人合作能够更好地了解他们，就有可能建立长久的友谊，因而，团队项目是非常好的机会。因此A项“利用团队项目”概括段意，故选A。
【39题详解】
上文“Be friendly and approachable (友善以及平易近人)”说明要与人为善，因此D项“简单的微笑或问候对营造友好的氛围有很大帮助”符合语境，故选D。
40题详解】
下文“You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.(你可以和你的朋友一起去学校的健身房或健身中心，尝试在那里结识新朋友。)”可知，要找朋友一起锻炼，是对G项“给自己找一个运动伙伴会帮助你变得更积极”信息的承接与说明。故选G。

第二节 读后续写
67. 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。
With a broad smile on her lips,15-year-old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But her mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone, “No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time, OK ”
Holding her oil painting, Sirin frowned (皱眉), and then searched for her dad.
“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a cheerful voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie, grinned at her, and made a thumbs-up sign!
Immediately, Sirin replied angrily, “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”
He smiled at her saying, “No time, baby. I will see it later.” He just patted her back lovingly, kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.
She was hard to please with a simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few seconds, and then stormed into her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils(鼻孔). Her face turned red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed(砰地关上)the door and threw herself on her bed.
“Why is everybody so busy ” She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in preschool, middle school and even high school too! She assumed at least her own family members would give some feedback on her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake on her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin intentionally came late to join them. She kept silent and didn’t look at anyone, scratching at the table mat with her nail. Her mom was puzzled at her unusual behavior. Suddenly, the morning incident came to mind. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do anything wrong ”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
At this very moment, Sirin could no longer contain her anger.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her painting on the wall.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Paragraph 1:
At this very moment, Sirin could no longer contain her anger. “Why are both of you so busy " she roared, tears streaming down her cheeks . She had assumed that her mom and dad would feel proud of her great talent, but she was neglected with everybody having “no time” for her. “I hate both of you!” she screamed angrily, grabbed the painting on the table and tore it in half. Shocked, her mom threw her arms around Sirin tightly, whispering, “Baby, I am so sorry! I promise that this mistake will not be repeated.”
Paragraph 2:
When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her painting on the wall. It was beautifully framed and below the painting was a sentence “We are so proud of you!” On seeing it, she burst out crying. She ran to her mom and hugged her tightly, fully aware of her mom’s love. Recalling her mom’s busy daily life, she regretted her previous behavior. So she ducked her head, apologizing, “Sorry, my dear mom!” It dawned on them that it is mutual understanding in the family that counts.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了Sirin画了一幅油画，迫切地想要向爸爸妈妈展示自己的作品，可是爸爸妈妈都以忙为由并未加以欣赏。晚饭时，Sirin压抑许久的情绪终于爆发，控诉父母对自己的忽视，母亲也意识到了问题所在，最终母亲把Sirin的画挂在墙上，母女二人也和好如初，懂得了家人之间互相理解的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“在这一刻，Sirin再也无法抑制她的愤怒。”可知，第一段可具体描写Sirin愤怒及控诉父母对自己的忽视。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天从学校回来，Sirin惊讶地看到她的画挂在墙上。”可知，第二段可描写Sirin看到自己的画被装裱好挂到墙上后的反应及母女二人对此事的反思。
2.续写线索：画油画——向父母展示——父母忽视——愤怒委屈——挂好油画——母女反思
3.词汇激活

After nearly a decade of enduring the busy and noisy life in Las Vegas, Nevada, my family and I reached a decision to have a slower pace and adopt a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. We collectively agreed that moving to the countryside would be the perfect solution.
After some searching, we found a home in Yucca, Arizona, a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people. However, when I called to ask about the condition of the house, I was surprised to know that there was no electricity available in the area. Initially, I almost denied the idea of living here, but then I realized that it was an excellent opportunity to go green. After careful consideration, we decided to make an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
In the beginning, we faced challenges as we remodeled (改造) the house and lived in our motor home. However, these frustrations just made us work harder. We gradually fixed the things and after 38 days, we were able to move into the house.
Living off the grid (电线) has been a significant adjustment for us over the past four months but it has also brought numerous benefits. One of the most educational lessons we have learned is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power, and gas for granted, but now they understand the need to be mindful of their usage. We have made changes such as taking shorter showers, doing full loads of laundry, and turning off the water while brushing our teeth. Additionally, we have embraced other sustainable practices like recycling, growing our own organic vegetables, and re-purposing items instead of throwing them away.
Overall, our decision to go off the grid has been incredibly positive for our family. We hope that even after our children move out, they will continue to keep the habits they have developed while living off the grid.

On the important occasion of the 20th anniversary of China’s first manned spaceflight the Shenzhou-5, the spacecraft soared into the sky from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on Thursday morning at 11:14 am.
Sitting atop the Long March-2F Y17 carrier rocket, the spacecraft, carrying taikonauts Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie, and Jiang Xinlin, set off on the journey toward the China Space Station. Following a smooth flight of around 10 minutes, the Shenzhou-17 spacecraft entered its planned orbit, marking a successful launch, according to the official release by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
Shenzhou-17 is a manned spacecraft with long-term space residency (驻留) capability. The spacecraft adopts the latest aerospace technology and has high autonomy and precise navigation capabilities, providing strong support for the development of China’s aerospace industry.
The main aim of the mission is to rotate (轮换) the crew in orbit with the Shenzhou-16, and then continue with a stay in space for about six months until April 2024. Also the astronauts will conduct a variety of scientific experiments and technological verification (技术验证) in space, including life sciences, physics, materials science, and other fields. These experiments will provide important scientific data and technological experience for human exploration of space. A significant highlight of the Shenzhou-17 mission, as revealed by the spokesperson, is the pioneering experimental extravehicular (舱外的) repair operations to be undertaken on the space station. The increasing presence of space debris (碎片) has led to long-term operational spacecraft enduring unavoidable impacts from tiny space particles.
28. What does the word “taikonauts” mean in the second paragraph
A. Astronauts from China B. Spacecraft engineers
C. Mission control operators D. International space travelers
29. Which of the following statement is not mentioned about the Shenzhou-17 spacecraft

Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默病),” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease.
Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.
“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones.”
Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.
32. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about
A. Causes of gum disease. B. The symptoms of brain shrinkage.
C. Ways to take good care of one’s teeth. D. The connection between the teeth and the brain.
33. How did researchers reach the conclusion
A. By making comparisons. B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By conducting a survey among dentists. D. By proving experts’ theory in experiments.
34. What do the research findings indicate
A. Gum disease is increasing among people.
B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance.
C. Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health.
D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.
35. What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi
A. Exploring treatments for gum disease.
B. Seeking new methods to improve brain health.
C. Involving people from other places in the research.
D. Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer’s disease.

With a broad smile on her lips,15-year-old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But her mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone, “No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time, OK ”
Holding her oil painting, Sirin frowned (皱眉), and then searched for her dad.
“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a cheerful voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie, grinned at her, and made a thumbs-up sign!
Immediately, Sirin replied angrily, “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”
He smiled at her saying, “No time, baby. I will see it later.” He just patted her back lovingly, kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.
She was hard to please with a simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few seconds, and then stormed into her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils(鼻孔). Her face turned red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed(砰地关上)the door and threw herself on her bed.
“Why is everybody so busy ” She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in preschool, middle school and even high school too! She assumed at least her own family members would give some feedback on her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake on her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin intentionally came late to join them. She kept silent and didn’t look at anyone, scratching at the table mat with her nail. Her mom was puzzled at her unusual behavior. Suddenly, the morning incident came to mind. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do anything wrong ”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
At this very moment, Sirin could no longer contain her anger.

When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her painting on the wall.
