Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.
For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.
Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”
The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.
4. What can we learn about Jabal Sawda
A. It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot. B. It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.
C. It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak. D. It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa.
5. Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade
A. To write books about mountains. B. To rename the peaks of mountains.
C. To identify the highest mountains. D. To challenge other mountaineers.
6. What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3
A. It satisfies their curiosity. B. It strengthens their motivation.
C. It attracts more mountaineers. D. It guarantees informed choices.
7. Which of the following best describes the twins
A. Ambitious but impractical. B. Determined and adventurous.
C Intelligent and unselfish. D. Peace-loving and eco-friendly.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了双胞胎兄弟Matthew和Matthew and Eric Gilbertson已经攀登了100多个国家的最高峰山峰，并且还要继续攀登下去。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.(海拔2999米的Jabal Sawda一直被认为是沙特王国的最高峰，直到2018年，双胞胎登山者Matthew和Matthew and Eric Gilbertson登上它，发现它比Jabal Ferwa低约3米)”可知，Jabal Sawda比Jabal Ferwa低大约3米。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.(十多年来，这对双胞胎走遍了世界上一个又一个国家，改写了中东和西非地区的登山记录。到目前为止，他们已经到达了100多个国家的最高峰，最近在多哥、几内亚比绍和科特迪瓦发现了最高峰)”可知，十多年来，这对双胞胎在不同的国家旅行，重写山峰的记录。可推知，他们这么做的目的就是要确认最高的山峰。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.(我们认为，对未来的登山者来说，做一个准确的调查是有帮助的，这样他们就可以集中精力到达他们想要到达的山峰)”可知，他们的工作提供了准确的数据，登山者可以根据这些数据选择攀登哪一座山峰。故选D。

Electric bicycles have established themselves as an important mode of transportation worldwide, and their fame continues to improve as the electric vehicle revolution (革命) is slowly spreading over the world. Embracing the advantages of electric bikes not only benefits the economy but also improve the general well-being of the population.
Germany, in particular, has witnessed a remarkable upswing in the e-bike industry, displaying no signs of slowing down despite initial hesitations earlier this year. In May, favorable weather made it more convenient to ride e-bikes, which contributed to the increase of e-bike sales. By the end of May this year, Germany had produced over one million electric bikes, marking a significant five-percent growth compared to the same period last year. This growth is particularly impressive considering the challenging economic climate the country has faced.
Burkhard Stock, the Managing Director of the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), discussed this unbelievable turn of events in a report published by German e-bike publication E-Bike News. He mentioned that they had anticipated a slowdown in the market throughout the first half of the year. However, it turned out that a positive change in the industry was seen in May.
ZIV, a famous organization in the German and international bicycle industries, plays a key role as a governing body and major stakeholder (股东) in the European e-bike field. About 90 percent of all electric bikes produced by German companies are made by ZIV member companies. Their presence ensures the industry’s steady growth and development.
In addition to the market within the country, German-made electric bicycles have gone to other parts of the world. In the first quarter of this year, an astonishing 190, 000 electric bikes were sold abroad, meaning a significant 28-percent increase compared to the previous year. A majority of these electric bikes were transported to European Union and European Free Trade Association member countries. It is expected that the German e-bike market will produce a total of two million electric bicycles by the end of this year.
8. What resulted in a better e-bike market in May
A. Effective marketing strategies. B. Favorable turn of economic climate.
C. Improved environmental awareness. D. Weather conditions suitable for cycling.
9. What does the underlined word “anticipated” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Prevented. B. Guaranteed. C. Encountered. D. Expected.
10. What do the numbers of German-made e-bikes in the last paragraph show
A. A greater demand for electricity.
B. A complete hold of the global market.
C. A strong export performance of e-bikes.
D. A higher political rank in the United Nations.
11. Which part does this text probable appear on the website

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In May, favorable weather made it more convenient to ride e-bikes, which contributed to the increase of e-bike sales.”（5月份，有利的天气使得骑电动自行车更加方便，这也促进了电动自行车销量的增长。）可知，适宜骑行的天气条件促使电动自行车销量增长。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Burkhard Stock, the Managing Director of the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), discussed this unbelievable turn of events in a report published by German e-bike publication E-Bike News.”（Zweirad-Industrie-Verband董事总经理Burkhard Stock在德国电动自行车出版物《e-bike News》发表的一份报告中讨论了这一令人难以置信的转折。）及第二句后半部分“a slowdown in the market throughout the first half of the year”（整个上半年的市场放缓。）及最后一句“However, it turned out that a positive change in the industry was seen in May.”（然而，事实证明，5月份该行业出现了积极的变化。）可知，他们之前认为上半年市场销量会下降，但结果却出人意料。可推知anticipated意为“预计，预想”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句“In addition to the market within the country, German-made electric bicycles have gone to other parts of the world. In the first quarter of this year, an astonishing 190, 000 electric bikes were sold abroad, meaning a significant 28-percent increase compared to the previous year.”（除了国内市场，德国制造的电动自行车还销往世界各地。今年第一季度，电动自行车在国外的销量达到了惊人的19万辆，与去年相比增长了28%。）可知，这些数字显示了电动自行车强劲的出口业绩。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第二段前两句“Germany, in particular, has witnessed a remarkable upswing in the e-bike industry, displaying no signs of slowing down despite initial hesitations earlier this year. In May, favorable weather made it more convenient to ride e-bikes, which contributed to the increase of e-bike sales.”（尤其是德国，该国的电动自行车行业出现了显著的增长，尽管今年早些时候出现了最初的犹豫，但没有显示出放缓的迹象。5月份，有利的天气使得骑电动自行车更加方便，这也促进了电动自行车销量的增长。）可知，文章讲述了德国电动自行车的销量显著增长。这是与制造业相关的话题，由此可知，本文出自网站的“Industry”部分。故选B项。

I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.
Dogs help people in lots of ways, but service dogs are different from working dogs, therapy (治疗) dogs, and emotional support animals. Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert (警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way. Service dogs have lots of different skills, depending on the disability they are trained for.
No matter how you get a service dog, they usually go through a tough training program with an experienced trainer. In the last month of training, the service dog spends time with you and the instructor. The instructor teaches the dog to help you, and tells you how to command, handle, and care for the dog.
Service dogs need obeying skills and other very special skills. When you think about how to get a service dog, consider finding one with relevant characters. They should be calm, be able to learn and hold onto information. To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.
It’s important to keep your dog healthy so that they can best help you. Give your dog access to plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet, and keep their vaccinations (疫苗) updated. Yearly visits to the vet are also important to make sure you catch any changes in your dog’s health.
12. Why does the author mention Yang in paragraph 1
A. To show his emotions. B. To present a mystery.
C To describe his daily life. D. To introduce the main topic.
13. Who is advised to keep a service dog
A. A healthy animal lover. B. A person with sight disability.
C. A person requiring emotional support. D. A policeman performing a special task.
14. Which of the following is among the basic skills for a service dog
A. Helping the owner to remain calm.
B. Learning to analyzing information.
C. Focusing on disturbing surroundings.
D. Handling different situations and areas.
15. What is the suitable title of the text
A. Caring for Animals B. Helping the Disabled
C. Keeping a Service Dog D. Training a Special Dog
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了服务犬，包括其任务、训练、养护等。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.(在过去的几个月里，我一直和我的新狗Yang在一起，这是我正在共同饲养的一只服务犬。它将在我身边待14个月左右。如果它表现得足够好，它将被送到导盲犬学校接受进一步的训练，最终成为一只导盲犬。)”并结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍服务犬，第一段提到自己最近养的犬，如果它足够好，将被送去训练成为一只导盲犬。由此可推知，第一段的目的是为了引出文章主题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert(警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way.(服务犬被训练为残疾人执行特定任务。他们可以拉轮椅、拿药、提醒你吃药、帮助你走路时保持稳定、警示重要的声音或危险的事情。)”可知，服务犬帮助残疾人做特定的任务。由此推知，视力障碍人士可以养服务犬。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.(要训练一只服务犬，你应该从基本技能开始，比如专注于你、忽略干扰因素以及能够在有陌生的人、气味和动物的新地方完成任务。)”可知，服务犬能够在有陌生的人、气味和动物的新地方完成任务，即要应对不同的情况和区域。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段作者结合自身饲养服务犬的经历引出话题；第二段讲述了服务犬的任务；第三、四段讲述了服务犬的训练；最后一段讲述了服务犬的养护。全文围绕“服务犬”展开，所以C项“饲养一只服务犬”最适合作本文标题。故选C项。

【37题详解】

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在获奖后，她告诉记者：“我最喜欢的花是兰花，我希望在未来的插花中加入更多的泰国花卉，尤其是泰国兰花。”分析句子可知，空处作After的宾语，应用动名词形式，且award“授予，颁发”和she逻辑上是被动关系，因此需用动名词的被动形式。故填being awarded。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：在获奖后，她告诉记者：“我最喜欢的花是兰花，我希望在未来的插花中加入更多的泰国花卉，尤其是泰国兰花。”根据“into my future ikebana arrangements”可推知，此处表达对未来的希望，应该是加入“更多的”泰国花卉，应用many的比较级形式。故填more。

47. 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。
Aubrey, a mom of three, was breastfeeding her 10-month-old daughter in her Maui home last week when alarms started going off and she saw her entire neighborhood was covered in black smoke.
Aubrey and her husband Alex rushed out of the home and into their car, escaping with their 10-month-old daughter as well as their 6-year-old twin daughters. They didn’t take any necessities. In fact, they had never thought the wildfires would ever get to where they lived. After all, they were very far.
While Aubrey and her family eventually made it to safety, a relative’s home, they later learned their own home was burned to the ground.
They were left with no possessions, so Alex had to go to the neighborhood surrounding his relative’s home searching for supplies for his baby daughter Blue. He went door-to-door, asking if anyone had a baby and if there was a bottle or a diaper (尿布) and some extra milk.
One neighbor just had a baby so he gave Alex two bottles. And some neighbors gave Alex two diapers and some gave her three. Alex later said. “They were holding onto their own diapers too, which I understand.”
The disaster turned into a crisis for countless parents like Aubrey and Alex, who had to escape quickly and now needed basic supplies to keep their children alive and safe.
The wildfires claimed the lives of over 100 people, while many more remained missing. Officials on Maui warned that their supplies were running out.
Aubrey and Alex decided to travel to another island, Oahu, where they could stay in the home of Alex’s brother’s. There, they had more access to supplies like diapers and milk. Then they managed to contact with volunteers and left in a lifeboat for Oahu. Thinking those helpless people, they cried in pain.
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。
Now on Maui, situations were becoming worse.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Together with other volunteers, Alex and his brother collected large quantities of supplies on Oahu.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Now on Maui situations were becoming worse. Many more houses were burnt down, leaving countless people homeless. People lacked drinking water, food and clothes. Some began to fall ill and what’s worse, it was hard for them to get access to medicine, which was more challenging for parents with children. They were in great need of help. The government were taking action. But it was depressing that urgent need for food, medicine and shelter was still hard to be achieved. Thankfully, more and more volunteers were joining.
Together with other volunteers, Alex and his brother collected large quantities of supplies on Oahu. Considering those helpless parents with children, Alex mainly collected baby supplies, including milk and diapers. His brother and other volunteers collected lots of tents, clothes and medicine. They arranged boats to deliver the necessities to Maui as quickly as possible. Many doctors and nurses on Oahu volunteered to head for Maui to offer timely medical assistance. Thanks to the efforts from those dedicated people, people in need on Maui were getting out of trouble.

Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.
For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.
Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”
The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.
4. What can we learn about Jabal Sawda
A. It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot. B. It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.
C. It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak. D. It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa.
5. Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade
A. To write books about mountains. B. To rename the peaks of mountains.
C. To identify the highest mountains. D. To challenge other mountaineers.
6 What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3
A. It satisfies their curiosity. B. It strengthens their motivation.
C. It attracts more mountaineers. D. It guarantees informed choices.
7. Which of the following best describes the twins
A. Ambitious but impractical. B. Determined and adventurous.
C. Intelligent and unselfish. D. Peace-loving and eco-friendly.
C
Electric bicycles have established themselves as an important mode of transportation worldwide, and their fame continues to improve as the electric vehicle revolution (革命) is slowly spreading over the world. Embracing the advantages of electric bikes not only benefits the economy but also improve the general well-being of the population.
Germany, in particular, has witnessed a remarkable upswing in the e-bike industry, displaying no signs of slowing down despite initial hesitations earlier this year. In May, favorable weather made it more convenient to ride e-bikes, which contributed to the increase of e-bike sales. By the end of May this year, Germany had produced over one million electric bikes, marking a significant five-percent growth compared to the same period last year. This growth is particularly impressive considering the challenging economic climate the country has faced.
Burkhard Stock, the Managing Director of the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), discussed this unbelievable turn of events in a report published by German e-bike publication E-Bike News. He mentioned that they had anticipated a slowdown in the market throughout the first half of the year. However, it turned out that a positive change in the industry was seen in May.
ZIV, a famous organization in the German and international bicycle industries, plays a key role as a governing body and major stakeholder (股东) in the European e-bike field. About 90 percent of all electric bikes produced by German companies are made by ZIV member companies. Their presence ensures the industry’s steady growth and development.
In addition to the market within the country, German-made electric bicycles have gone to other parts of the world. In the first quarter of this year, an astonishing 190, 000 electric bikes were sold abroad, meaning a significant 28-percent increase compared to the previous year. A majority of these electric bikes were transported to European Union and European Free Trade Association member countries. It is expected that the German e-bike market will produce a total of two million electric bicycles by the end of this year.
8. What resulted in a better e-bike market in May
A. Effective marketing strategies. B. Favorable turn of economic climate.
C. Improved environmental awareness. D. Weather conditions suitable for cycling.
9. What does the underlined word “anticipated” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Prevented. B. Guaranteed. C. Encountered. D. Expected.
10. What do the numbers of German-made e-bikes in the last paragraph show
A. A greater demand for electricity.

I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.
Dogs help people in lots of ways, but service dogs are different from working dogs, therapy (治疗) dogs, and emotional support animals. Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert (警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way. Service dogs have lots of different skills, depending on the disability they are trained for.
No matter how you get a service dog, they usually go through a tough training program with an experienced trainer. In the last month of training, the service dog spends time with you and the instructor. The instructor teaches the dog to help you, and tells you how to command, handle, and care for the dog.
Service dogs need obeying skills and other very special skills. When you think about how to get a service dog, consider finding one with relevant characters. They should be calm, be able to learn and hold onto information. To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.
It’s important to keep your dog healthy so that they can best help you. Give your dog access to plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet, and keep their vaccinations (疫苗) updated. Yearly visits to the vet are also important to make sure you catch any changes in your dog’s health.
12. Why does the author mention Yang in paragraph 1
A. To show his emotions. B. To present a mystery.

13. Who is advised to keep a service dog

Aubrey, a mom of three, was breastfeeding her 10-month-old daughter in her Maui home last week when alarms started going off and she saw her entire neighborhood was covered in black smoke.
Aubrey and her husband Alex rushed out of the home and into their car, escaping with their 10-month-old daughter as well as their 6-year-old twin daughters. They didn’t take any necessities. In fact, they had never thought the wildfires would ever get to where they lived. After all, they were very far.
While Aubrey and her family eventually made it to safety, a relative’s home, they later learned their own home was burned to the ground.
They were left with no possessions, so Alex had to go to the neighborhood surrounding his relative’s home searching for supplies for his baby daughter Blue. He went door-to-door, asking if anyone had a baby and if there was a bottle or a diaper (尿布) and some extra milk.
One neighbor just had a baby so he gave Alex two bottles. And some neighbors gave Alex two diapers and some gave her three. Alex later said. “They were holding onto their own diapers too which I understand.”
The disaster turned into a crisis for countless parents like Aubrey and Alex, who had to escape quickly and now needed basic supplies to keep their children alive and safe.
The wildfires claimed the lives of over 100 people, while many more remained missing. Officials on Maui warned that their supplies were running out.
Aubrey and Alex decided to travel to another island, Oahu, where they could stay in the home of Alex’s brother’s. There, they had more access to supplies like diapers and milk. Then they managed to contact with volunteers and left in a lifeboat for Oahu. Thinking those helpless people, they cried in pain.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
