详细解析：
A篇
A篇是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了东北格陵兰、三江源及纳米布-纳克卢夫特国家公园是各大洲最大的国家公园以及它们的特点。
第21题 C 文章中提到，“Covering nearly half of the world’s largest island, Northeast Greenland National Park is currently the globe’s single largest national park and biggest land-based protected area. It covers 972,000 square kilometers.” 说明东北格陵兰国家公园是目前全球最大的国家公园，并且它位于格陵兰，属于美洲大陆的一部分。因此答案是C，在美洲。
第22题 B 文章中关于三江源国家公园的描述是，“Founded in 2021, China’s Sanjiangyuan National Park is now the largest in Asia, covering 190,700 square kilometers of the snow-covered Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that provides the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers, Rough and remote, the highlands harbor a range of rare, endangered animal species. The park also includes cultural sites.” 三江源国家公园不光拥有自然保护价值，其中提到的“cultural sites”表明它包括了文化风景名胜区，因此答案是B “Cultural scenic spots”。
第23题 D 文章解释了纳米布-纳克卢夫特国家公园提供的不同游览方式：“Some of the world’s highest and biggest sand dunes are the centerpiece of western Namibia’s Namib-Naukluft National Park, Africa’s largest at 49,768 square kilometers. Easy to explore with your own vehicle, the main park road leads to most dunes and forest, Hot air balloon flights offer a bird’s eye view of the whole park.” 这段文字讲述了，热气球飞行提供全公园的鸟瞰（bird’s eye view），意味着可以全面观赏公园。因此答案是D，“By riding hot air balloons”。
B篇
B篇是一篇报道文。文章主要报道了Dr. Joseph Dituri 在 Key Largo 水下酒店进行100天实验以研究深海压力对身体的影响，期间保持常规生活，打破世界记录，并激励年轻人勇探未知。
第24题 C Jules’s Undersea Lodge 的特别之处在于其位置，这是一个位于海洋表面下30英尺的特别酒店，在Key Largo的一个保护区内。文章首段提到：“On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.” 因此，C 选项 “Its location” 正确，强调酒店特别因为它的位置——在水下。
第25题 D Dr. Dituri长期居住在水下酒店是为了验证他的一个学术想法。文章中提到：“The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure, Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time… It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.” 这说明他的居住是出于科学研究的目的，他相信高压可能有利于人类长寿和健康，并可能帮助治疗不同的医学问题。因此，D 选项 “To test one of his academic ideas” 是正确的。
第26题 A Dr. Dituri 的水下生活遵循着几乎像平常一样的日常例程。文章中描述：“While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries…” 显然，尽管生活在水下，Dr. Dituri 依然保持着教学、锻炼等常规活动，A 选项 “He kept a daily routine almost as usual” 最能符合这种描述。
第27题 B Dr. Dituri 希望年轻人勇敢地探索未知。文末，Dr. Dituri 表达了他对年轻人的期望：“‘Who knows ’ he said. ‘Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.’” 这段话清楚地传达了他希望激发新一代的探险家和研究者勇敢突破界限的愿望，因此B选项 “Explore the unknown bravely” 是正确答案。
C篇
C篇是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了美国校巴更新计划如何减少柴油污染，提高学生出勤率和健康水平。老旧巴士被指出对学生健康不利，新巴士实施后出勤有所改善。
第28题 D 文章第一段描述了柴油学校巴士产生的污染对乘客的潜在危害。文中提到：“Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it.”（内部的污染水平可以比外部高几倍。）这说明柴油巴士对孩子们的健康造成了很大的伤害，因此 D 选项 “They do much harm to school children” 是正确的推论。
第29题 A 文章后面提到生病减少从而导致出勤率提高的情况，虽然每天额外出席的学生数量看起来微小，但是累积起来却很重要。特别是文中提到了学校出勤率对学生成绩的重要性，以及如果所有旧巴士都被更换，一年中会减少130万次学生缺勤的假设。这些都说明了，虽然每天额外出勤的学生数量看似微不足道，但长期累计起来却非常重要，这也反映出了出勤率和学生学习成就间的关联。因此 A 选项 “It is a long accumulation” 是正确的。
第30题 B 文章中有几处提到换新巴士和学生健康之间的关联。首先，新巴士的引入减少了排放，“emissions from buses in the winning districts fell”（中标地区的巴士排放量下降了），并且文章提到在接受新巴士一年后的学区，学生出勤率有所提高。进一步的研究显示柴油排放对成人的短暂暴露减少了大脑中的 “网络连接性”，这与记忆和心理任务的恶化有关联。基于这些信息，B 选项 “By bettering the health state of students” 是正确的，因为它暗示了健康状态的改善是导致学生出勤率提高的最可能原因。
第31题 D 全文主要谈论的是更换新校巴带来的更好的学生出勤率。文中详细说明了美国某些学区采取行动换新巴士后，学生的出勤情况如何改善，以及这一改变如何积极影响到学生的健康和学习成绩。尽管文中也提到了美国政府的项目和对大脑网络连接性的研究，但这些都是为了支持主题，也就是新校巴和出勤率改善之间的关系。因此 D 选项 “Better attendance due to new school buses” 正确地反映了文本的主旨。
D篇
D篇是一篇议论文。文章探讨了大学新生选择校内外住宿的优劣，并提供选择建议。文中分析了校内住宿对学习的益处以及校外住宿的独立生活技能需求。
第32题 A 文章中提到了校园内居住对大一新生和大二学生的保留率和出勤率有正面影响。这是因为校内居住增加了学生参与校园活动和课程的可能性，这与选项 A “To keep them stay longer on campus for classes” 对应，表明校方希望学生能够更多地参与到校园课程活动中。
第33题 C 文章在讨论校外居住时强调了独立生活技能的重要性，如支付账单、寻找租房保险、自己做饭和协商或审查合同。这些都是学生在考虑搬到校外居住前需要了解和思考的方面，因此选项 C “They should learn all aspects of off-campus living” 符合这一前提。
第34题 D 上文中的 “overpack” 是在讨论校外住房降低成本的方法，说明有些学生选择在二卧室的房子里塞进四五个人。这里的 “overpack” 指的是房子里的人数超过了舒适的或预期的居住量，因此 D 选项 “Overload” 是最合适的解释，表示超载或填得过满。
第35题 B 文章讨论了大学新生住在校园内与选择校外住宿的对比，包括这些选择的利与弊，并提供了相关的建议。这是关于学生在校内和校外住房之间选择的讨论，所以选项 B “Choice Between Housing On Or Off Campus” 最能概括文章的主题。

本篇介绍了如何克服飞行恐惧，包括面对恐惧、分散注意力、接受恐惧和寻求医疗帮助等方法。
详细解析：
第36题 F 在文章中，作者提到了害怕飞行是很正常的，并且给出了几个建议来帮助读者克服这种恐惧。其中之一就是尽量不避免飞行，即使你几乎做了任何事情来避免它。因此，选项F "If you did almost anything but can't avoid flights" 是正确的答案。
第37题 E 文章中提到了"Exposure therapy"，即暴露疗法，这种疗法是通过反复面对恐惧的事物来降低大脑边缘系统的反应速度，从而减少焦虑。因此，选项E "Face your fear, repeatedly but in small doses" 是正确的答案。
第38题 D D 文章中提到，在飞行过程中分散注意力可以缓解焦虑。因此，选项D "Board your flight with plenty of distractions" 是正确的答案。
第39题 A 在文章中提到，当遇到气流时，不要强迫自己冷静下来，因为一旦战斗或逃跑反应被触发，几乎不可能停止。因此，选项A "But don't try to stop the experience" 是正确的答案。
第40题 C "Consult with a doctor about medication (冥想)，if you feel you might need it."（如果你觉得你可能需要药物来上飞机，就请咨询医生。）根据上下文，我们需要选择一个表达"如果你确实需要药物来上飞机"的选项。因此，正确选项是 C. If you do need medication to get on a plane（如果你确实需要药物来上飞机）。

On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules's Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean's surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5, 500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.
On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.
Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.
Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. "Who knows " he said. "Maybe one day, one of them will come. back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.

Each year, more than 27 million. U. S. and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel （柴油） fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.
A U. S. government program started in 2012 offered schools' money spent on cleaner school buses but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10, 000 students, about six more students attended 'school each day' in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses They had an average of 45 more students in school each day.
Those numbers may sound small, but 'they add up. And school attendance matters for student achievement. Almost 3 million U. S. kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If U. S. school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1. 3 million fewer student absences each year.
There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced "network connectivity" in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in schools without bus upgrades.
Almost all U. S. school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income areas, in tribal areas and, in rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face. the most health risks from older buses.
28. What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph
A. They have a short service life.
B. They operate cost-effectively.
C. They accommodate few passengers.
D. They do much harm to school children.
29. Why is the increase in school attendance small but important
A. It is a long accumulation. B. It is a winning condition.
C. It is a measuring standard. D. It is a student achievement.
30. How does the bus replacement bring better student attendance
A. By reducing the network connectivity.
B. By bettering the health state of students.
C. By improving student satisfaction with schools.
D. By meeting students' demand for school bus drivers.
31. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The "network connectivity" in the brain.
B. The great work on cleaner school buses.
C. A U. S. government program for education.
D: Better attendance due to new school buses.
D
First-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories. In the rest years, it's usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus.
But some schools don't provide an option and require four years of on-campus living for full-time students. Living on campus has been shown to increase retention（保留） and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students, according to a 2021 report. There are exceptions, however. At some colleges, students may be freed from the requirement if they are, for instance, commuters （通勤生）, fifth-year seniors, at least 23 years of age or legally married.
Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms. Alternatives include flats, apartments, Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with shared interests. On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as residence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises. When students live in a community, they are forced to live with different people, learn more about themselves and about the others, and tell each other their stories.
On the other hand, off-campus living provides students with more independence, as they are not constrained by school housing policies. Off-campus students gain more real-world experience in areas like paying their own bills, finding renter's insurance, cooking their own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts. If students are choosing to live off campus, they should really think it through and talk to someone that lived. off campus. Do their homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision. Make sure, too, that they are choosing people that they can live with.
At first glance, off-campus housing can appear less expensive. But the additional expenses outside of rent---like utilities, groceries, Internet access, cable and furniture---are often overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs, some students choose to overpack houses or apartments, sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house. Unlike off-campus housing, the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive, coveting rent, utilities, furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan.
32. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus
A. To keep them stay longer on campus for classes.
B. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms.
C. To make as much profit as possible for the colleges.
D. To monitor all of their students as easily as possible.
33. What should students do before living off campus
A. They should find someone to take care of them.
B. They should fully develop the ability to live alone.
C. They should learn all aspects of off-campus living.
D. They should seek accommodation through an agent.
34. What does the underlined word "overpack" in the last paragraph mean
A. Overlook. B. Overconsume. C. Overestimate. D. Overload.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Residential Housing At Different Colleges
B. Choice Between Housing On Or Off Campus
C. Accommodation Situation For College Students
D. Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus

第二节（满分25分）
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。
"Hi, Connie. My sister-in-law's familiar bright and clear voice greeted me from the other end of the phone line early one Monday afternoon. "Mom and I just finished baking banana bread, and we'd love to bring you out a warm loaf. Can you have the coffee on in half an hour "
Since thoughts of my mother-in-law's freshly baked banana bread clouded my sensibilities and made me unable to think of an excuse, I replied in my cheeriest voice, "Of course, come on up. I'll be here!"
What was I thinking I can't let my mother-in-law see the house like this! She's under the impression that I'm perfect. I had to attempt to clean the house within thirty minutes. The past week, however, had been even busier than usual with running my five very active kids back and forth for extra-curricular activities. As a result, the house was neglected.
To add to my awkward situation, I had spent the morning sitting in the garden drinking coffee in an effort to recover from the rushed weekend of activities. But I told myself, "Where there's a will, there's a way. Then I put my words into action!
I cleaned up the kitchen in ten minutes. Things were looking good, and I still had twenty minutes remaining. I quickly swept the living room, throwing toys into the toy box as I worked my way across the floor. Glancing at the clock on my way upstairs to the kids' bedrooms, I was relieved to find I had five minutes to spare. That gave me just enough time to tidy up the bathroom and run a brush through my hair.
Whew! I did it! I put on a fresh pot of coffee, and since my guests hadn't yet arrived, I decided to wipe off the chicken eggs I had gathered after taking the kids to the bus stop. It would be a nice gesture to give them some eggs in return for the banana bread.

I was finishing the last egg when I heard a knock at the door behind me.
But that smile was short-lived when my oldest son ran through the front door.
