第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分）
A
When you stand in the starlight under the Milky Way, the night sky is one of the most incredible wonders many of us have not seen, which is under threat due to the constant march of human progress and consequent light pollution. Below are some of my favorite dark sky destinations around the world.
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, New Zealand
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve is one of the best places in the country to view the night sky. Comprised of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin of Aotearoa New Zealand's South Island, the Dark Sky Reserve was certified in 2012 to continue protecting the dark skies in the area.
Stargazing(天体观察)enthusiasts should plan a visit to Mt John Observatory, tours of which must be booked in advance.
The Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland
Most visitors go to Ireland's western Wild Atlantic Way to explore beyond hot spots like Dublin and Cork, but the route is also fast becoming a great region for stargazing, thanks to the efforts of local communities along the Way.
If planning a trip, keep in mind that Ireland does have wet months where overcast skies are more likely to affect your stargazing prospects.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
Wadi Rum is also sometimes called "The Valley of the Moon", though you're more likely to compare it to Mars if you visit it. Famous for its otherworldly landscapes in movies like Prometheus, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Martian, Wadi Rum's towering red rock formations are extremely interesting to explore by day, and offer protection from any distant light pollution once the sun sets.
Stargazing in Wadi Rum is a breathtaking experience and reminds us how our ancestors have experienced the night sky for thousands of years.
21. What might be a disadvantage of stargazing inIreland
A. Conservation efforts. B. Heavy tourism.
C. Customer service. D. Local climate.
22. What sets Wadi Rum apart from the other dark sky destinations
A. Unusual landscapes. B. Ancestors' experiences.
C. Its geographical location. D. Its local film studios.
23. What is the purpose of the text
A. To compare things. B. To inform readers.
C. To warn readers. D. To announce something.
B
Lee hyun-seok grew up in South Korea addicted to Japanese manga (漫画) series such as “Dragon Ball” and “Slam Dunk”. As soon as he could, he migrated to Tokyo to build a successful career as a manga artist and editor. Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons”（网络漫画）, a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first pared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.
Yet Japanese manga is being eclipsed（黯然失色） by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to 265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn. Manga is going digital slowly, in part because it is still designed for print, so awkward to read on smartphones. Seeing which way the wind was blowing, Mr. Lee abandoned manga for the webtoon industry in 2014.
Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have become popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s. Webtoons have grown so fast, in part because they can be read more easily. Other recent South Korean exports, such as the Netflix sensation “Squid Game” and BTS, a boy band, have taken the world by storm thanks to the same combination of innovation and smart marketing behind webtoons.
Some are concerned about the future. Japan’s manga fans are, like all its population, aging. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. “Children these days are viewing through webtoons on their smartphones. Why not make something that suits their taste ”
24. What did Mr Lee think of “webtoons” in the early 2000s
A. He considered it as inventive. B. He considered it as attractive.
C. He considered it as original. D. He considered it as shallow.
25. Why does the author mention numbers in paragraphs 2
A. To confirm the advantages of smartphones.
B. To share the popularity of Japanese manga.
C. To introduce the influence of webtoons industry on Japanese manga.
D. To compare Mr. Lee’s career as an artist and an editor.
26. What can we learn from Japanese manga
A. Japanese manga can be read more easily.
B. Since the 1960s, the manga has grown so fast.
C. The manga industry is unwilling to transform.
D. “Squid Game” was adopted from Japanese manga.
27. What is Mr. Lee’s attitude towards manga’s future
A. Worried. B. Aggressive. C. Confident. D. Annoyed.
C
As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It's called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you've been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it's not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don't you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.
28. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2
A. The video replay has been widely used.
B. League games have become competitive.
C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.
D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.
29. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Tricking. B. Promoting. C. Damaging. D. Restoring.
30. What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game
A. They relied a lot on the video replay.
B. They cared too much about details.
C. They were definitely stressed out.
D. They were terribly disqualified.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. Video replays: high-end technology in sports
B. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports
C. Officiating: a duty that requires honesty
D. What do qualified referees really mean
D
One key element of human language is semantics(语义). Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations (发声) were involuntary, reflecting the emotional state of the animal without conveying any other information. But over the last four decades, numerous studies have shown that various animals have distinct calls with specific meanings.
Many bird species use different alarm calls. Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their baby birds to get down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends them jumping out of the nest entirely. Siberian jays vary their calls depending on whether an enemy is seen looking for food or actively attacking—and each call gets a different response from other nearby birds.
Two recent studies suggested that the order of some birds' vocalizations may impact their meaning. Though the idea is still controversial, this could represent a basic form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax (句法), as illustrated by the classic "dog bites man" vs. "man bites dog" example.
Even if some birds share basic aspects of human language, we still know very little about what’s actually going on in their minds. Most animal communication research has focused on describing signals and behavior, which on the surface can look a lot like human behavior. Determining if the underlying cognitive(认知的) processes driving the behavior are also similar is much more challenging, as at the heart of this question is intentionality: Are animals merely reacting to their environment, or do they intend to convey information to one another
32. What was scientists’ long-held belief about animal vocalizations
A. They conveyed no emotion.
B. They were semantically related.
C. They varied greatly with species.
D. They expressed no intended meaning.
33. How does the author develop paragraph 2
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By providing definition. D. By making comparison.
34. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. What birds’ vocalizations mean. B. How rules govern human language.
C. What the two recent studies indicate. D. How bird’s vocalizations are combined.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Shared aspects of human and birds’ languages.
B. Focus of most animal communication research.
C. Underlying cognitive processes of birds’ vocalizations.
D. Insufficient knowledge about birds’ communication intentionally.

Revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡眠拖延症) refers to the decision to delay sleep in response to stress or a lack of free time earlier in the day. The addition of the word “revenge”, by the Chinese, to the concept of bedtime procrastination became popular on social media. 36
Both language versions reflect frustration tied to long, stressful work hours that left little time for personal enjoyment.
People who engage in bedtime procrastination know and generally want to receive enough sleep. 37 This is known as an intention-behavior gap.
Bedtime procrastination can cause sleep deprivation (缺乏). 38 Not getting enough sleep affects thinking, memory, and decision-making. Sleep deprivation also raises the risk of daytime sleepiness, which can harm productivity and academic achievement while increasing the risks of sleeping driving.
39 It causes difficulties in regulating emotions. It’s also been connected to mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. It is also discovered that sleep deprivation worsens physical health, making people more easily to suffer from illnesses. Ongoing sleep loss consequences can build up over time. Therefore, it contributes to significant long-term health problems.
The best solution for bedtime procrastination is creating good sleep patterns and a good sleeping environment. 40
A. But they fail to actually do so.
B. The Chinese are noted for working long hours.
C. A lack of sleep is tied to mental and physical health.
D. But remember that it will take more than one night to truly get into good sleep habits.
E. We struggle to stay productive during the day to make up for the loss.
F. Without enough hours of sleep, the mind and body can’t properly recharge.
G. The English term “revenge bedtime procrastination” appeared from a translation of this expression.

Andy, a 15-year-old boy, and his mother Emily didn’t have much in life, living daily with just enough to eat three meals and pay the bills. Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.
As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.
The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some so up for his mother.
It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.
“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir ” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to spare!
Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag, Andy realized it was starting to rain. He was running to a nearby bus stop to seek shelter with other people when he noticed an old lady walking slowly and struggling for a balance. It was pouring down. Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.
Paragraph1：
The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain. She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight." Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring," she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and he wanted to get her a new one she could use for years." I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you," she replied, helping Andy to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella. They exchanged a knowing look and waved goodbye after the rain stopped.

Anxious about his sick mom, Andy rushed home, all over wet. Andy arrived home and his mother asked why he had been out for so long. Andy briefed her on his experience of his way home without speaking of the umbrella." That’s my boy," beamed Mom with a proud smile broadening from side to side. Andy giggled shyly, putting a cold towel on Mom’s forehead. When his mother’s birthday arrived, Andy excitedly woke up to give his mom the present box." Happy birthday! Mom!" exclaimed Andy, his eyes sparkling with thrill. Touched by her son’s efforts, Emily opened the gift and was surprised to see the umbrella inside. Tears began to gather in her eyes and she went to hug Andy tightly.
