I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. So we both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her quilt, sobbing(哭啼). Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the meaning of living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk(我从来都不是很整洁，而我的室友凯特却非常有条理。她的每一件物品都有它的位置，但我的总是藏在某个地方。她甚至给所有东西都贴上了标签。我总是寻找一切。随着时间的推移，凯特变得更整洁，而我变得更凌乱。她会把我的脏衣服推过去，我会把我的书放在她整洁的书桌上)”可知，第一段描述了作者与室友在日常习惯上的种种差异，可推理出第一段通过展示作者与室友之间的差异展开，故选B项。

Scientists have discovered how plants manage to live alongside each other in places that are dark and shady. Plants in the deep darkness of a thick forest, where natural supplies are not very great in amount, wont attempt to top their neighbors in growth as those in moderate (中度的) shade do. In deep shade conditions, it would be a waste of energy and harmful to survival because green shoots would never be able to top their larger neighbors in growth.
So how do plants prevent such growth in deep shade conditions The arcanum lies in the clocks inside them, say scientists from the John Innes Centre and the University of Bristol.
They have discovered that when plants notice deep shade, this changes the expression of genes in certain parts of the circadian clock (昼夜节律时钟) — the internal daily timer found in plants and other living things. These clock components perform an additional role in preventing plants from lengthening and overtopping neighbors.
The work identifies a previously unknown role of the circadian clock in controlling plant development, and the findings may have possible effects on both natural plant populations and crops. Professor Antony Dodd of the John Innes Centre said, “The biological clock of plants plays a big part in their development and fitness. This work casts new light on a new role of the circadian clock in adapting plants to competition with other plants in their environments.” “It also gives us new insights into how plants adapt to very deep shade, where resources are very limited,” said Professor Kerry Franklin at the University of Bristol.
This work provides evidence for the stability of the circadian clock in stressful environments, and information that may be useful in developing new generations of crops in a challenging climate.
8. What do plants normally do in moderate shade
A. Struggle to preserve energy. B. Compete for limited resources.
C. Depend on each other to survive. D. Try to outgrow their neighbors.
9. What does the underlined word “arcanum” mean
A. Secret. B. Note. C. Grammar. D. Award.
10. How does the circadian clock affect plants
A. It changes their gene expression.
B. It makes them realize light change.
C. It controls their growth in deep shade.
D. It helps them adapt to the darkness.
11. Why does the author write the text
A. To introduce the role of the deep shade.
B. To share a new discovery about plants.
C. To explain plants’ secret of living in the water.
D. To compare plants living in certain conditions.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们已经发现了植物是如何在黑暗和阴暗的地方相互共存的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Plants in the deep darkness of a thick forest, where natural supplies are not very great in amount, won’t attempt to top their neighbors in growth as those in moderate (中度的) shade do.(植物生长在浓密森林的黑暗深处，那里的自然资源不是很多，不会试图超过它们的邻居，而那些在中等阴暗下的就会)”可知，在中度阴暗的环境中，植物试图比其旁边的植物长得高。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。划线单词上文“So how do plants prevent such growth in deep shade conditions (那么植物是如何在深荫条件下阻止这种生长的呢？)”提出问题——植物是如何在深荫条件下阻止这种生长的呢，划线单词所在句子“The arcanum lies in the clocks inside them, say scientists from the John Innes Centre and the University of Bristol.(来自约翰因内斯中心和布里斯托尔大学的科学家说，arcanum在于它们内部的时钟)”解释了上文，即此处指物在深荫条件下阻止这种生长的秘密在于它们内部的时钟。由此可知，划线单词arcanum意为“秘密”与A项Secret.(秘密)意思一样。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So how do plants prevent such growth in deep shade conditions The secret lies in the clocks insides them.(那么，植物是如何在荫凉条件下防止这种生长的呢？秘密就藏在它们体内的时钟里)”和第三段中的“These clock parts perform an additional role in preventing plants from lengthening and overtopping neighbors.(这些时钟部件在防止植物拉长和覆盖邻近植物方面起着额外的作用)”可知，在深度阴暗的环境中，昼夜节律时钟能够控制植物的生长。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Scientists have discovered how plants manage to live alongside each other in places that are dark and shady.(科学家们已经发现了植物是如何在黑暗和阴暗的地方相互共存的)”可推知，作者写本文的目的是分享一个有关植物的新发现。故选B。
D
It was a snowy day during the spring break when I walked into a great restaurant. In this blizzard weather, it was the only restaurant that remained open.
The restaurant has a long history in Hong Kong. Its owners, the couple, Peter and Michelle, have been running the restaurant since 2007.
“Things have changed a lot in the past 30 years,” Peter said. “Chinese students 20 years ago thought that a 70-cent bowl of rice was too expensive, but now a $ 20 meal is acceptable”. He also said that the new generation of Chinese students engaged with other students, bringing all their non-Chinese friends to visit the restaurant.
Peter takes great pride in his own cooking. He was curious about how the food was made and why particular foods or sauces had specific tastes. He chose to serve mainly Guangdong and Sichuan food at the restaurant, featuring the family-style Chinese dim sum or hot pot.
When I asked whether he would modify the taste of the dishes to suit the taste of most Americans, Peter said, “We are not like those American Chinese restaurants. We provide the genuine Chinese taste to our customers, and they will love it because it is delicious, and their taste will suit the taste of our dishes, not the other way around.”
“If I hear complaints from my customers, I will be so upset that I can’t fall asleep at night”, he said. “Luckily most of my favorite dishes received wide acclaim from my customers and it takes more than one person’s effort.”
He compares himself with the craftsmen in China who are proud of preserving ancient Chinese art and whose motivation is only on people’s enjoyment of their work and thought.
Such a spirit of craftsmanship has been remarkable and greatly valued in the past. The craftsman’s spirit with perfection, precision, concentration, and patience remains in Peter and his cooking.
12. How long have the couple been running the restaurant
A. 17 years. B. 20 years. C. 30 years. D. 70 years.
13. Why is the restaurant different from other American Chinese restaurants
A Its customers are mainly Chinese.
B. It adjusts the taste according to the customers.
C. Its menu merely contains Guangdong and Sichuan food.
D. It sticks to its original taste of the dishes.
14. What can we know about Peter from the passage
A. He believes that cooking just needs one person’s effort.
B. He takes pride in cooking the best typical Chinese cuisine.
C. He shows an interest in preserving ancient Chinese art.
D. He doesn’t care about the customers’ complaints at all.
15. In which part of the newspaper can you read the passage
A. Geography. B. Art. C. Food. D. Literature.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了香港Peter和Michelle夫妇开的餐馆，并赞扬了Peter坚持原汁原味地做好中国传统食品的工匠精神。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Its owners, the couple, Peter and Michelle, have been running the restaurant since 2007. (它的主人Peter和Michelle夫妇从2007年开始经营这家餐厅。)”可知，自从2007年至今（2024年）已有17年之久。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“We are not like those American Chinese restaurants. We provide the genuine Chinese taste to our customers, and they will love it because it is delicious, and their taste will suit the taste of our dishes, not the other way around. (我们不像那些美国的中餐馆。我们为顾客提供真正的中国口味，他们会喜欢它，因为它很美味，他们的口味会适合我们的菜的味道，而不是相反。)”可知，这家餐厅坚持菜肴的原汁原味。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Peter takes great pride in his own cooking. (Peter对自己的厨艺非常自豪。)”以及倒数第二段“He compares himself with the craftsmen in China who are proud of preserving ancient Chinese art and whose motivation is only on people’s enjoyment of their work and thought .(他把自己比作中国的工匠，他们以保存中国古代艺术而自豪，他们的动机只是为了让人们享受他们的工作和思想。)”可知，Peter以做最好的典型的中国菜而自豪。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“The craftsman’s spirit with perfection, precision, concentration, and patience remains in Peter and his cooking. (完美、精确、专注和耐心的工匠精神仍然存在于Peter和他的烹饪中。)”可知，本文主要讲述了香港Peter和Michelle夫妇开的餐馆，并赞扬了Peter坚持原汁原味地做好中国传统食品的工匠精神。从而推知，它来自食品专栏。故选C项。

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。
A Dream Come True
For many years, I kept having the same dream. I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying, Mom. What did I do with my books ”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all, I longed to someday march down the aisle (走廊) to receive my diploma (毕业文凭). That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition. My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Years later, I married and had three children, and I thought, “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her going back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad. in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (登记) forms when the secretary said, “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed, “There’s no way. I’m 55.” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and art. “This is only an experiment,” I warned the secretary, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.
续写要求：
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。
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no picnic (不轻松).

Linda and I helped each other through this difficult time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no picnic (不轻松). At first, I felt really embarrassed to be sitting in a classroom with all the kids staring at me, even though I knew they were only doing it out of curiosity. However, the first few months of going back to studying were undoubtedly challenging, for I had totally forgotten what I had learned in my younger days. Fortunately, the attitude of the teachers calmed my nerves. They didn’t say much but they behaved with great understanding. Also, as a mother of three children, I had to balance loads of housework and my kids’ needs while doing my courses.
Linda and I helped each other through this difficult time. Linda would share the housework when I was up to my eyebrows with my schoolwork. And when she was down, I would stay by her side, offering comfort and encouragement. I have to say, it was a hard time for both of us but we didn’t give up. Finally, I completed all the credits needed for graduation. I glowed with pride as I was presented with my diploma. Waving my hands at Linda, I could hardly contain my excitement. At last, the unfinished business in my dreams had been finished.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. So we both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her quilt, sobbing(哭啼). Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the meaning of living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
4. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed
A. By showing differences. B. By making a conclusion.
C. By explaining a saying. D. By following special order.
5. What made Kate so angry one evening

B. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.
C. She heard the author shouting loud.
D. She got the news that her grandma was ill.
6. The author tidied up the room most probably because ________.
A. she was scared by Kate’s anger B. she hated herself for being so messy
C. she was asked by Kate to do so D. she wanted to show her care
7. What might be the best title for the story

Scientists have discovered how plants manage to live alongside each other in places that are dark and shady. Plants in the deep darkness of a thick forest, where natural supplies are not very great in amount, wont attempt to top their neighbors in growth as those in moderate (中度的) shade do. In deep shade conditions, it would be a waste of energy and harmful to survival because green shoots would never be able to top their larger neighbors in growth.
So how do plants prevent such growth in deep shade conditions The arcanum lies in the clocks inside them, say scientists from the John Innes Centre and the University of Bristol.
They have discovered that when plants notice deep shade, this changes the expression of genes in certain parts of the circadian clock (昼夜节律时钟) — the internal daily timer found in plants and other living things. These clock components perform an additional role in preventing plants from lengthening and overtopping neighbors.
The work identifies a previously unknown role of the circadian clock in controlling plant development, and the findings may have possible effects on both natural plant populations and crops. Professor Antony Dodd of the John Innes Centre said, “The biological clock of plants plays a big part in their development and fitness. This work casts new light on a new role of the circadian clock in adapting plants to competition with other plants in their environments.” “It also gives us new insights into how plants adapt to very deep shade, where resources are very limited,” said Professor Kerry Franklin at the University of Bristol.
This work provides evidence for the stability of the circadian clock in stressful environments, and information that may be useful in developing new generations of crops in a challenging climate.
8. What do plants normally do in moderate shade
A. Struggle to preserve energy. B. Compete for limited resources.
C. Depend on each other to survive. D. Try to outgrow their neighbors.
9. What does the underlined word “arcanum” mean
A Secret. B. Note. C. Grammar. D. Award.
10. How does the circadian clock affect plants
A. It changes their gene expression.
B. It makes them realize light change.
C. It controls their growth in deep shade.
D. It helps them adapt to the darkness.
11. Why does the author write the text
A. To introduce the role of the deep shade.
B. To share a new discovery about plants.
C. To explain plants’ secret of living in the water.
D. To compare plants living in certain conditions.

“Things have changed a lot in the past 30 years,” Peter said. “Chinese students 20 years ago thought that a 70-cent bowl of rice was too expensive, but now a $ 20 meal is acceptable”. He also said that the new generation of Chinese students engaged with other students, bringing all their non-Chinese friends to visit the restaurant.
Peter takes great pride in his own cooking. He was curious about how the food was made and why particular foods or sauces had specific tastes. He chose to serve mainly Guangdong and Sichuan food at the restaurant, featuring the family-style Chinese dim sum or hot pot.
When I asked whether he would modify the taste of the dishes to suit the taste of most Americans, Peter said, “We are not like those American Chinese restaurants. We provide the genuine Chinese taste to our customers, and they will love it because it is delicious, and their taste will suit the taste of our dishes, not the other way around.”
“If I hear complaints from my customers, I will be so upset that I can’t fall asleep at night”, he said. “Luckily most of my favorite dishes received wide acclaim from my customers and it takes more than one person’s effort.”
He compares himself with the craftsmen in China who are proud of preserving ancient Chinese art and whose motivation is only on people’s enjoyment of their work and thought.
Such a spirit of craftsmanship has been remarkable and greatly valued in the past. The craftsman’s spirit with perfection, precision, concentration, and patience remains in Peter and his cooking.
12. How long have the couple been running the restaurant
A. 17 years. B. 20 years. C. 30 years. D. 70 years.
13. Why is the restaurant different from other American Chinese restaurants
A. Its customers are mainly Chinese.
B. It adjusts the taste according to the customers.
C Its menu merely contains Guangdong and Sichuan food.
D. It sticks to its original taste of the dishes.

A. He believes that cooking just needs one person’s effort.
B. He takes pride in cooking the best typical Chinese cuisine.
C. He shows an interest in preserving ancient Chinese art.
D. He doesn’t care about the customers’ complaints at all.
15. In which part of the newspaper can you read the passage

A Dream Come True
For many years, I kept having the same dream. I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying, Mom. What did I do with my books ”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all, I longed to someday march down the aisle (走廊) to receive my diploma (毕业文凭). That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition. My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Years later, I married and had three children, and I thought, “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her going back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad. in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (登记) forms when the secretary said, “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed, “There’s no way. I’m 55.” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and art. “This is only an experiment,” I warned the secretary, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.
续写要求：
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。
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no picnic (不轻松).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Linda and I helped each other through this difficult time.
