The landscape of parents staying at home is changing, challenging old ideas about who takes care of the children. While moms usually did this in the past, a recent study by Pew Research Center shows more dads are staying at home. Over the last 30 years, the number of dads staying at home has gone up from 11% in 1989 to 18% in 2021.
Economics is the most significant part of this change. As women do better in school — with 53.1% of adults with a bachelor’s degree being women and get better jobs, families are thinking about different ways to share responsibilities. Women are getting better paying jobs, like in medicine and law, making some families decide that having the dad at home and the mom as the main earner is the best choice. Chris Braaten from California knew his wife, with a higher degree, could earn more, so he happily stayed at home.
The wish for one parent to stay at home often matches what both partners want. Many dads, not happy with their jobs, find more joy in taking care of their children. Spending meaningful time with family and feeling satisfied often matter more than staying in the workforce.
The high cost of childcare is also making parents think differently. Childcare can be very expensive, ranging from $4,810 to over $15,000 per child each year. This leads some families to consider new ways, like having the dad stay home, to handle these costs.
Cannon Ingalls and Jeff Carlson show this too. Ingalls, moving from Missouri to Minneapolis, chose his wife’s better-paying job over his own. Carlson in Colorado found that most of his salary was going to childcare, so he decided to stay at home to avoid money stress.
As the idea of parents staying at home continues to change, economic factors, along with new thoughts about gender (性别) roles and a wish for more meaningful family time, are making more dads choose to stay at home.
8. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed
A. By sharing stories of dads staying at home.
B. By presenting data over the past three decades.
C. By comparing the income of different families.
D. By stressing the benefits of women’s education.
9. What mainly contributes to more stay-at-home dads
A. Social expectations in today’s society.
B. Fathers being dissatisfied with their jobs.
C. Changing preferences in family structures.
D. Changes in women’s education and economic roles.
10. Why are Chris Braaten and Cannon Ingalls mentioned in the text
A. To serve as typical examples.
B. To show their close relationship.
C. To show their different personalities.
D. To provide some background information.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Decline of Traditional Gender Roles
B. The Growing Trend of Stay-at-Home Dads
C. The Challenges Faced by Working Mothers
D. The Effects of Traditional Parenting Methods
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了父亲留在家中的变化趋势，探讨了背后的原因以及一些家庭的选择。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“While moms usually did this in the past, a recent study by Pew Research Center shows more dads are staying at home. Over the last 30 years, the number of dads staying at home has gone up from 11% in 1989 to 18% in 2021.(虽然过去妈妈们通常是这样做的，但皮尤研究中心最近的一项研究表明，越来越多的爸爸呆在家里。在过去的30年里，全职爸爸的比例从1989年的11%上升到2021年的18%。)”可知，第一段主要通过提供过去三十年的全职爸爸所占比例的数据，说明越来越多的父亲留在家中的情况。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Economics is the most significant part of this change. As women do better in school — with 53.1% of adults with a bachelor’s degree being women and get better jobs, families are thinking about different ways to share responsibilities. Women are getting better paying jobs, like in medicine and law, making some families decide that having the dad at home and the mom as the main earner is the best choice.(经济情况是这一变化中最重要的部分。随着女性在学校表现更好——53.1%拥有学士学位的成年人是女性，并且找到了更好的工作，家庭正在考虑不同的方式来分担责任。女性正在获得收入更高的工作，比如在医学和法律领域，这使得一些家庭决定让爸爸在家，妈妈作为主要的经济来源是最好的选择。)”可知，随着女性在教育和经济领域的表现变得更好，一些家庭考虑了不同的责任分享方式，这导致了越来越多的父亲留在家中。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Cannon Ingalls and Jeff Carlson show this too. Ingalls, moving from Missouri to Minneapolis, chose his wife’s better-paying job over his own. Carlson in Colorado found that most of his salary was going to childcare, so he decided to stay at home to avoid money stress.(坎农·英格尔斯和杰夫·卡尔森也证明了这一点。从密苏里州搬到明尼阿波利斯的英格尔斯选择了妻子薪水更高的工作，而不是自己的工作。科罗拉多州的卡尔森发现，他的大部分工资都花在了儿童保育上，所以他决定呆在家里，以避免金钱压力。)”可知，Cannon Ingalls因为妻子薪水更高而选择放弃自己的工作留在家中，Cannon Ingalls是因为大部分工资都花在了儿童保育上而决定呆在家里，以避免金钱压力；由此可知，文章中提到Cannon Ingalls和Jeff Carlson是作为典型的例子，说明一些父亲选择留在家中的原因。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The landscape of parents staying at home is changing, challenging old ideas about who takes care of the children. While moms usually did this in the past, a recent study by Pew Research Center shows more dads are staying at home. Over the last 30 years, the number of dads staying at home has gone up from 11% in 1989 to 18% in 2021.(父母呆在家里的情况正在发生变化，这挑战了关于谁来照顾孩子的旧观念。虽然过去妈妈们通常是这样做的，但皮尤研究中心最近的一项研究表明，越来越多的爸爸呆在家里。在过去的30年里，全职爸爸的比例从1989年的11%上升到2021年的18%。)”以及最后一段“As the idea of parents staying at home continues to change, economic factors, along with new thoughts about gender (性别) roles and a wish for more meaningful family time, are making more dads choose to stay at home.(随着父母呆在家里的观念不断改变，经济因素、对性别角色的新思考以及对更多有意义的家庭时光的渴望，使更多的父亲选择呆在家里。)”可知，文章阐述了越来越多父亲留在家中的趋势，并阐述这一趋势背后的原因；B 选项“The Growing Trend of Stay-at-Home Dads(全职爸爸的增长趋势)”能够概括文章主旨，是一个合适的标题。故选B。
D
As water levels rise, causing severe erosion, many coastal Puerto Ricans are left watching their homes fall into the sea. A small software company in Puerto Rico called Terra Firma, founded in 2019 by island native Alejandro Mieses, is using satellite data to forecast accurate erosion pain points that might help Puerto Rican city planners better protect their island.
Terra Firma is dealing with the challenge of scattered (分散的) environmental data by creating a single database. Their user-friendly software allows scientists, construction professionals, and government agencies to model and predict environmental risks accurately. Similar to a powerful Google Maps, the software collects data from 1941 to the present, enabling users to predict erosion, landslides, flooding, solar exposure, and wind-related risks for up to 30 years.
This technology, once only available to well-funded projects, is now helping communities and individuals to protect their land. Since Hurricane Maria in 2017, Puerto Rico has focused on rebuilding a stronger island. With Terra Firma’s predictive data on flooding and erosion, city planners can better prepare for severe weather events.
One organization collaborating with Terra Firma is Blue Tide, a non-governmental group devoted to oceanic research and promoting the Blue Economy. After Hurricane Maria damaged coral reefs important for coastline protection, Blue Tide asked Terra Firma to design 3D-printed tiles. These unique tiles, made of clay, will help prevent erosion during future storms. They are shaped like cylinders (圆柱体), creating a nesting space for young coral, and over the next ten years, the clay is expected to dissolve (溶解), forming a complete organic coral reef.
This innovative approach aims to help Puerto Rico deal with erosion caused by storms, and Terra Firma plans to come up with more solutions as weather events get worse. According to Mieses, Terra Firma gives hope to Puerto Rico, which often faces hurricanes, by providing insights to better prepare for future storms and protect important infrastructure.
Currently, Terra Firma operates only in Puerto Rico, but they hope to expand to the southern United States in the next few years. Their work shows how technology can help deal with the effects of climate change on vulnerable coastal communities.
12. What do we know about Terra Firma’s software
A. It depends on Google Maps.
B. It helps predict possible risks.
C. It is used only by governmental groups.
D. It demands specialized technical knowledge.
13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Terra Firma’s latest product.
B. Terra Firma’s expansion plans.
C. Terra Firma’s promising future.
D. Terra Firma’s partnership with Blue Tide.
14. What does the underlined word “innovative” probably mean in Paragraph 5
A. Creative. B. Ordinary. C. Traditional. D. Official.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To entertain. B. To persuade. C. To inform. D. To relate.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Terra Firma如何使用卫星数据来预测环境风险，以及他们的合作和创新解决方案。
【12题详解】

【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“After Hurricane Maria damaged coral reefs important for coastline protection, Blue Tide asked. Terra Firma to design 3D-printed tiles. These unique tiles, made of clay, will help prevent erosion during future storms. They are shaped like cylinders (圆柱体), creating a nesting space for young coral, and over the next ten years, the clay is expected to dissolve (溶解), forming a complete organic coral reef.(在玛丽亚飓风破坏了对海岸线保护很重要的珊瑚礁之后，Blue Tide要求泰丰公司设计3d打印瓷砖。这些独特的瓷砖，由粘土制成，将有助于防止未来风暴的侵蚀。它们的形状像圆柱体，为年轻的珊瑚创造了一个筑巢的空间，在接下来的十年里，粘土预计会溶解，形成一个完整的有机珊瑚礁)”可知，Blue Tide和Terra Firma进行合作，Terra Firma制作出独有的瓷砖，所以推知innovative意为“创造性的”，和A项意思相近。故选A。
【15题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了位于山西省的悬空寺，该寺庙建在悬崖峭壁上，是中国七座古老寺庙之一，具有极高的历史价值。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：说到中国古建筑数量最多的山西省的古建筑奇观，浑源县衡山的悬空寺无疑是一个值得研究的经典案例。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，architecture的形容词形式是architectural。故填architectural。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：在许多中国人的心目中，寺庙大多被视为建在地面上的建筑物。本句缺少主语，所以空处应填名词作主语，temple意为“寺庙”，为可数名词，根据后文的are可知，用复数形式。故填temples。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：但悬空寺，意思是“悬在空中的寺庙”，或悬在空中的寺庙，是一个明显的例外。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Xuankong Temple，在从句中作主语，用which引导。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：据研究人员介绍，这座寺庙建在悬崖上，是中国仅有的七座具有这种地位的古代寺庙之一。根据句意，此处特指悬崖峭壁的表面，应用定冠词the。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这座北魏时期由木头、瓦片和石头建造的寺庙由两个三层楼阁和一个由楼梯和台阶连接的院子组成。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is made up，所以join用非谓语形式，根据后文的by可知，用过去分词表被动作后置定语修饰名词yard。故填joined。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：楼梯和台阶沿着陡峭的悬崖表面延伸，悬崖高出山脚下的一条小溪90米。此处是固定搭配：at the foot of表示“在……的脚下”。故填at。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：从下面看，悬空寺显得非常危险。空处修饰空后的形容词，用副词修饰。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考察非谓语动词。句意：它只由几个从突出的岩石上升起的薄脚手架支撑着。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is supported，所以rise用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语scaffolds之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填rising。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：因此，它被《时代》杂志选为2010年世界上十大最危险的建筑之一。分析句子结构可知，select作本句谓语，和主语it之间是被动关系，用被动语态，根据时间状语in 2010可知，用一般过去时。故填was selected。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：尽管在不同的历史时期进行了多次修复，但在过去的1500年里，这座寺庙经受住了风、雨和地震的考验。根据时间状语“in the past 1500 years”本句应用现在完成时，主语是the temple为第三人称单数。故填has survived。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
On a bright Saturday, my peaceful lunchtime was suddenly interrupted when my dad surprised me with an unplanned idea. I couldn’t hide my annoyance as what was supposed to be a relaxing Saturday turned into a day focused on football — a sport I wasn’t very excited about.
Many of my friends loved sports, while I preferred to find comfort in the pages of a good book rather than run around on a football court. My lack of interest resulted in average performance on the team, and I often felt like I was a problem for both my coach and teammates.
Things changed last week when our coach announced a coming match against the champions scheduled for a month later. The realization that this important game would have a big audience only made me more anxious. The fear of possibly letting down the team weighed on me.
Determined to make a positive impact, I decided to practice hard every day. My motivation came from wanting to help the team and to overcome the self-doubt affecting my performance.
As the match day approached, my teammates seemed unsure about including me in the lineup (阵容). I wouldn’t have minded sitting out, but the situations were different. With one player short, they reluctantly (不情愿地) included me, and The Thunder Strikers, our team, stepped onto the field to enjoy cheers from the crowd.
The pressure was intense. The game started, and within the ten minutes, I received a warning. Before long, the referee showed me a second yellow card, forcing me to leave the field. When I got back into the game, the score was tied, and the next goal would decide the winner.
As the ball came toward me, I felt a bit scared. My teammates seemed tired, and the other team really wanted to win. With great courage, I kicked the ball. The opponents (对手), maybe not expecting much from me because of my earlier struggles, were surprised when the ball went past the goalkeeper.
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。
The Thunder Strikers won!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After this win, football became different for me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The Thunder Strikers won! Cheers and laughter filled the air as the final whistle blew. In the middle of the celebration, my teammates surrounded me, offering high-fives and hugs. The coach, once uncertain about including me, now wore an approving smile. We gathered in a tight circle, exchanging celebratory gestures. The doubts before the match were now replaced with pride. As The Thunder Strikers, we celebrated this unexpected win, making our team bond stronger.
After this win, football became different for me. I used to dislike football, but after this unexpected win, everything changed. Football became something I enjoyed, bringing me happiness and a sense of achievement. I discovered my hidden skills on the football court. The bond formed during the match made every practice and game more fun. What started as an unwilling duty transformed into a journey of personal fulfillment. Now, with confidence, I continue to explore the details of the sport. Every practice is a chance for growth, and the football court has become a place for self-discovery and improvement.

The landscape of parents staying at home is changing, challenging old ideas about who takes care of the children. While moms usually did this in the past, a recent study by Pew Research Center shows more dads are staying at home. Over the last 30 years, the number of dads staying at home has gone up from 11% in 1989 to 18% in 2021.
Economics is the most significant part of this change. As women do better in school — with 53.1% of adults with a bachelor’s degree being women and get better jobs, families are thinking about different ways to share responsibilities. Women are getting better paying jobs, like in medicine and law, making some families decide that having the dad at home and the mom as the main earner is the best choice. Chris Braaten from California knew his wife, with a higher degree, could earn more, so he happily stayed at home.
The wish for one parent to stay at home often matches what both partners want. Many dads, not happy with their jobs, find more joy in taking care of their children. Spending meaningful time with family and feeling satisfied often matter more than staying in the workforce.
The high cost of childcare is also making parents think differently. Childcare can be very expensive, ranging from $4,810 to over $15,000 per child each year. This leads some families to consider new ways, like having the dad stay home, to handle these costs.
Cannon Ingalls and Jeff Carlson show this too. Ingalls, moving from Missouri to Minneapolis, chose his wife’s better-paying job over his own. Carlson in Colorado found that most of his salary was going to childcare, so he decided to stay at home to avoid money stress.
As the idea of parents staying at home continues to change, economic factors, along with new thoughts about gender (性别) roles and a wish for more meaningful family time, are making more dads choose to stay at home.

As water levels rise, causing severe erosion, many coastal Puerto Ricans are left watching their homes fall into the sea. A small software company in Puerto Rico called Terra Firma, founded in 2019 by island native Alejandro Mieses, is using satellite data to forecast accurate erosion pain points that might help Puerto Rican city planners better protect their island.
Terra Firma is dealing with the challenge of scattered (分散的) environmental data by creating a single database. Their user-friendly software allows scientists, construction professionals, and government agencies to model and predict environmental risks accurately. Similar to a powerful Google Maps, the software collects data from 1941 to the present, enabling users to predict erosion, landslides, flooding, solar exposure, and wind-related risks for up to 30 years.
This technology, once only available to well-funded projects, is now helping communities and individuals to protect their land. Since Hurricane Maria in 2017, Puerto Rico has focused on rebuilding a stronger island. With Terra Firma’s predictive data on flooding and erosion, city planners can better prepare for severe weather events.
One organization collaborating with Terra Firma is Blue Tide, a non-governmental group devoted to oceanic research and promoting the Blue Economy. After Hurricane Maria damaged coral reefs important for coastline protection, Blue Tide asked Terra Firma to design 3D-printed tiles. These unique tiles, made of clay, will help prevent erosion during future storms. They are shaped like cylinders (圆柱体), creating a nesting space for young coral, and over the next ten years, the clay is expected to dissolve (溶解), forming a complete organic coral reef.
This innovative approach aims to help Puerto Rico deal with erosion caused by storms, and Terra Firma plans to come up with more solutions as weather events get worse. According to Mieses, Terra Firma gives hope to Puerto Rico, which often faces hurricanes, by providing insights to better prepare for future storms and protect important infrastructure.
Currently, Terra Firma operates only in Puerto Rico, but they hope to expand to the southern United States in the next few years. Their work shows how technology can help deal with the effects of climate change on vulnerable coastal communities.
12. What do we know about Terra Firma’s software
A. It depends on Google Maps.
B. It helps predict possible risks.
C. It is used only by governmental groups.
D. It demands specialized technical knowledge.
13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Terra Firma’s latest product.
B. Terra Firma’s expansion plans.
C. Terra Firma’s promising future.
D. Terra Firma’s partnership with Blue Tide.
14. What does the underlined word “innovative” probably mean in Paragraph 5
A. Creative. B. Ordinary. C. Traditional. D. Official.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To entertain. B. To persuade. C. To inform. D. To relate.

Around the globe, about 1 in 4 adults says they’re lonely. And the effects of long-term social disconnection can be severe-everything from an increased risk of heart attacks to early death. But social isolation isn’t new or uncommon. And occasional loneliness isn’t disastrous. What matters is how people respond to these feelings when they surface. ____16____
Be curious.
It’s easier to connect with people if you have shared interests or experiences, so start paying attention to what’s on your mind. What are you thinking about What motivates you ____17____ Knowing yourself can be a first step to bond with others. If you know what’s meaningful or fun for you, it may lead you to an activity that connects you to people who share your interests.
Make something.
People often say, “I’m not Picasso and I don’t know how to do a fancy painting.” ____18____ The opportunities for creative expression are endless. Do a doodle or a dance move. Bring back your grandma’s pie recipe, plant a herb garden or try a textile art. Make a real object that then can express your thoughts and feelings to others.
Take a risk by having conversations.
____19____ It doesn’t have to be the biggest, darkest secret of your life, but just something you think other people might find interesting and striking, and see where it goes. Even if you’re nervous about being judged or ignored, putting yourself out there requires a bit of a risk, and it’s the first step to real connection. If you’ve made something, simply explaining what you’ve made may make it easier to open up about who you are.
Find people who share your interests
Whether it’s volunteering or playing games, try to find others who share your interests. Share your thoughts and feelings in creative ways with other people who have that interest.

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。
On a bright Saturday, my peaceful lunchtime was suddenly interrupted when my dad surprised me with an unplanned idea. I couldn’t hide my annoyance as what was supposed to be a relaxing Saturday turned into a day focused on football — a sport I wasn’t very excited about.
Many of my friends loved sports, while I preferred to find comfort in the pages of a good book rather than run around on a football court. My lack of interest resulted in average performance on the team, and I often felt like I was a problem for both my coach and teammates.
Things changed last week when our coach announced a coming match against the champions scheduled for a month later. The realization that this important game would have a big audience only made me more anxious. The fear of possibly letting down the team weighed on me.
Determined to make a positive impact, I decided to practice hard every day. My motivation came from wanting to help the team and to overcome the self-doubt affecting my performance.
As the match day approached, my teammates seemed unsure about including me in the lineup (阵容). I wouldn’t have minded sitting out, but the situations were different. With one player short, they reluctantly (不情愿地) included me, and The Thunder Strikers, our team, stepped onto the field to enjoy cheers from the crowd.
The pressure was intense. The game started, and within the ten minutes, I received a warning. Before long, the referee showed me a second yellow card, forcing me to leave the field. When I got back into the game, the score was tied, and the next goal would decide the winner.
As the ball came toward me, I felt a bit scared. My teammates seemed tired, and the other team really wanted to win. With great courage, I kicked the ball. The opponents (对手), maybe not expecting much from me because of my earlier struggles, were surprised when the ball went past the goalkeeper.
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。
The Thunder Strikers won!

After this win, football became different for me.
