In the ever-changing world of women’s artistic gymnastics, there has been a gymnast for more than three decades: Oksana Chusovitina.
The 48-year-old had said with certainty that her final competition would be the Tokyo 2020 Games. With no fans in the stands to honor her legendary career (职业生涯) , judges, coaches and other athletes did their best to give her a party worthy of all she’d given the sport. After she thanked them through tears in her eyes, she told media that was her swansong.
However, just a few months after the Tokyo Olympics, Chusovitina said that she would return to training, dreaming of one final medal at a major competition —the Asian Games—for Uzbekistan. “I just can’t finish my career without a medal for my motherland,” she said on her Instagram story.
Chusovitina first competed in the 1992 Olympics as part of the Unified Team and won a team gold medal there. Though she represented (代表) Uzbekistan in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics, her second Olympic medal came some 16 years later in the 2008 Olympics. Chusovitina, then representing her third nation, Germany, where better medical treatment was provided for her sick son, got the silver medal.
And now, her story continues. The historic eight-time Olympian has started her ninth trip to the 2024 Paris Olympics. At the first two World Cup stops of the season she won bronze medals. “Thank you all so much for the support,” she wrote on Instagram. “First start, first medal.”
“More to come,” added the gymnast, whose motto is “I’d rather try today than regret tomorrow”.
4. What does the underlined word “swansong” mean in paragraph 2
A. A popular song. B. A great honor.
C. The last performance. D. The wonderful career.
5. What made Chusovitina return to training after the Tokyo Olympics
A. Personal glory. B. National pride.
C. Economic situation. D. International pressure.
6. Why did Chusovitina represent Germany in the 2008 Olympics
A. To win more medals. B. To receive better education.
C. To get medical treatment for her son. D. To learn skills from the national team.

San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
8. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.
9. What challenge is the waterfront facing
A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.
C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.
10. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C. To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
11. What can be learned from the text
A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.
C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了旧金山的滨水区如今面临海平面上升的威胁，同时许多城市的滨水地标正面临着由人类活动引起的气候变化带来的洪水和海平面上升的日益严重的威胁。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. (它美丽的古老地标，如渡轮大厦和海湾大桥，在许多书籍、电视节目和电影中都有出现——从杰克·伦敦的故事和小说到20世纪70年代的电视剧《旧金山街道》)”可知，旧金山的滨水区以古老地标闻名。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise.(2016年，美国国家历史保护信托基金会将该市的部分海岸线列入了美国最濒危的历史遗迹名单，部分原因是海平面上升的威胁)”可知，滨水区面临海平面上升的威胁。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.(近年来，沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计，到2060年，水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右，到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺)”可推知，第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。故选B。
11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.(现在，旧金山正在考虑采取措施保护其历史悠久的海岸线)”可知，解决方案正在考虑之中。故选D。

Sleep is so important that it has long interested scientists. Scientists have studied everything from mice to fruit flies in the lab to get a better understanding of what happens when animals sleep and why they do it. However, gathering data (数据) on how animals sleep in their natural habitat has always been hard to do.
But scientists did just that with wild chinstrap penguins in Antarctica. In doing so, researchers found the birds took over ten thousand microsleeps throughout the day — adding up to a 11-hour-long sleep.
To study the penguins, scientists put devices (设备) into a small group of penguins’ brain and neck muscles, which provided the brain wave and location data. The devices had never been used before, so this data collection was only supposed to be a test. However, the process went so well and the data was published in this study.
Researchers found that the microsleeps last only seconds. Researchers think that being able to sleep for such a short time might help the animals avoid predators (捕食者) that might more likely attack if the penguins were asleep for longer — especially when one parent goes out feeding in the ocean for days, leaving the other parent to protect the eggs from predatory birds.
The study is an early insight into a relatively large missing scientific knowledge about sleep.
“Almost every study on sleeping birds discovers something new, something we didn’t know about before,” says study co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel.
Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, a sleep neuroscientist at the University of Oxford who didn’t join in the study, is excited about this new data because “most of what we know about the animal sleep was gained in laboratory conditions, which are totally different from conditions where sleep developed”.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The study method. B. The device introduction.
C. The research purpose. D. The background information.
13. What is a possible reason for penguins’ microsleeps
A. Feeding baby birds. B. Getting longer sleep.
C. Avoiding being hunted. D. Attacking other birds.
14. What’s Vyazovskiy’s attitude towards the study
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Objective.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Animal Sleep Is Researched in the Lab
B. Penguins Gain a Different Way of Sleep
C. Sleep Is of Great Importance to Penguins
D. Penguins Take Thousands of Microsleeps a Day
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍科学家们通过研究发现，南极洲野生帽带企鹅一天中有超过1万个微睡眠。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“To study the penguins, scientists put devices (设备) into a small group of penguins’ brain and neck muscles, which provided the brain wave and location data. The devices had never been used before, so this data collection was only supposed to be a test. However, the process went so well and the data was published in this study.(为了研究企鹅，科学家们在一小群企鹅的大脑和颈部肌肉中植入了设备，这些设备提供了脑电波和位置数据。这些设备以前从未使用过，所以这次数据收集只是一个测试。然而，这个过程进行得很顺利，数据发表在了这项研究中。)”可知，科学家们在一小群企鹅的大脑和颈部肌肉中植入了以前从未使用过的设备，这些设备提供脑电波和位置数据，收集到的数据发表在了这项研究中；由此可知，本段主要介绍了这项研究的方法——通过植入设备来获取数据。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Researchers found that the microsleeps last only seconds. Researchers think that being able to sleep for such a short time might help the animals avoid predators (捕食者) that might more likely attack if the penguins were asleep for longer — especially when one parent goes out feeding in the ocean for days, leaving the other parent to protect the eggs from predatory birds.(研究人员发现，微睡眠只持续几秒钟。研究人员认为，能够睡这么短的时间可能有助于这些动物避开捕食者，如果企鹅睡得更久，捕食者更有可能攻击它们——尤其是当父母中的一方在海洋中觅食数天，留下另一方保护企鹅蛋免受掠食性鸟类的伤害。)”可知，研究人员认为，微睡眠可能有助于这些动物避开捕食者，如果企鹅睡得更久，捕食者更有可能攻击它们；由此可知，企鹅的微睡眠很可能是为了避免被捕食者猎杀。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, a sleep neuroscientist at the University of Oxford who didn’t join in the study, is excited about this new data because “most of what we know about the animal sleep was gained in laboratory conditions, which are totally different from conditions where sleep developed”.(牛津大学的睡眠神经科学家Vladyslav Vyazovskiy没有参与这项研究，他对这些新数据感到兴奋，因为‘我们对动物睡眠的大部分了解都是在实验室条件下获得的，这与睡眠发展的条件完全不同’。)”可知，Vladyslav Vyazovskiy没有参与这项研究，但他对这些新数据感到兴奋，因为他认为他们对动物睡眠的大部分了解都是在实验室条件下获得的，而这项研究不同；由此可知，Vladyslav Vyazovskiy对这项研究是持肯定态度的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段“But scientists did just that with wild chinstrap penguins in Antarctica. In doing so, researchers found the birds took over ten thousand microsleeps throughout the day — adding up to a 11-hour-long sleep.(但科学家们在南极洲对野生帽带企鹅进行了实验。在这样做的过程中，研究人员发现这些鸟在一天中有超过1万个微睡眠，加起来总共有11个小时的睡眠。)”介绍了科学家们通过对南极洲野生帽带企鹅研究发现，这些鸟在一天中有超过1万个微睡眠，加起来总共有11个小时的睡眠；下文介绍了这项研究的方法，研究发现以及这项研究的意义；由此可知，本文主要阐述一项研究发现——南极洲野生帽带企鹅一天中有超过1万个微睡眠；D选项“Penguins Take Thousands of Microsleeps a Day(企鹅每天有数千个微睡眠)”能够概括本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了最近，四川广汉三星堆博物馆的一座新展览馆成为了一个热门的旅游景点。这些展品展示了3000多年前的神秘文化。
【36题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：这些展品展示了3000多年前的神秘文化。分析句子可知，这里考查非谓语，date和the mysterious culture之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填dating。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：对于那些无法来到广汉的人来说，一个名为“你好，三星堆”的令人兴奋的数字技术展览为他们提供了一个不同的机会。分析句子可知，这里考查make it表“及时赶上参加”，是固定短语。故填it。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：对于那些无法来到广汉的人来说，一个名为“你好，三星堆”的令人兴奋的数字技术展览为他们提供了一个不同的机会。分析句子可知，这里考查provide sb.with sth.表“提供某人某物”，为固定短语。故填with。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它提供了一种教育和艺术的时间旅行体验。分析句子可知，此空作定语修饰名词，所以用形容词。故填educational。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：旅程以文字、照片和视频的简短时间线开始，展示了三星堆是如何在20世纪20年代首次被发现的，当时农民们发现了许多物品分析句子可知，此空应填谓语动词。The journey 与begin为主动关系，且这里描述事实，所以用一般现在时态，主语为名词单数，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填begins。
【41题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：旅程以文字、照片和视频的简短时间线开始，展示了三星堆是如何在20世纪20年代首次被发现的，当时农民们发现了许多物品。分析句子可知，先行词为1920s，在非限制性定语从句中作时间状语，所以应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【42题详解】
考查可数名词的复数。句意：“你好，三星堆”的制作人之一谭平表示，向公众介绍考古发现和相关研究进展非常重要，而它依靠新的思想和技术给人们带来新的文化体验。分析句子可知，作介词的宾语，所以用名词，表示不止一个发现，所以用名词复数。故填discoveries。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。“你好，三星堆”的制作人之一谭平表示，向公众介绍考古发现和相关研究进展非常重要，而它依靠新的思想和技术给人们带来新的文化体验。分析句子可知，这里考查rely on sb. to do sth.表“依靠某人做某事”，所以此空应用动词不定式作宾补。故填to bring。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他说，像“你好，三星堆”这样的展览将帮助游客了解蜀国人民的生活和创造力。分析句子可知，这里泛指表“一个”，所以用不定冠词，exhibition是以元音音素开头的。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：他说，像“你好，三星堆”这样的展览将帮助游客了解蜀国人民的生活和创造力。分析句子可知，此空前后名词是并列关系，所以用并列连词and连接。故填and。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Miguel looked across the school campus. Why did the English teacher annoy the whole class with such a stupid topic, “The Most Courageous Person I’ve Known” He groaned (呻吟) at the painful thought of writing two full pages about a person who didn’t exist. He just couldn’t think of anyone.
At twelve, Miguel just wanted to be a boy. He wanted to play, get his homework done as quickly as possible, and eat. He reached his pocket for a candy bar, tore open the wrapper with his teeth and headed home.
Passing an alley (胡同) , he spotted a white chicken poking at a dirty bag that lay on a pile of garbage. Then, like soup, an idea bubbled in his mind. He got the dirty bag, held it open and got close to the chicken slowly. It lifted its head, took a few slow steps and clucked (咯咯叫) . Miguel was quick. He caught it by the neck, pushed it in and tied the bag.
For a moment, he felt like a fox, the trickiest of all animals. Now, it was time to go to Mr. Shafer, who sold chickens. Luckily, Mr. Shafer was in his front yard. Miguel announced that he had a nice chicken for him because his grandma couldn’t eat chicken anymore. Mr. Shafer took the chicken out, examined it carefully and handed him two dollars.
The chicken looked up at him with kind of sad eyes. Miguel’s heart sank. Why could I become so unfeeling What had I done Miguel groaned to himself. Money in hand, he turned around quickly and ran toward his home, trying not to think of the defenseless chicken. Yet, those sad eyes of the chicken seemed to be staring at him all the way.

“I’ll save you,” he stopped and said to himself.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I’ll save you,” he stopped and said to himself. Filled with guilt, Miguel rushed back to Mr. Shafer’s yard. “Sorry, but I’ve changed my mind.” Without eye contact, he returned the two dollars to Mr. Shafer and exchanged for the chicken. Then Miguel ran back to the alley and set the chicken free. As it fluttered away, a sense of relief washed over him. Returning home, he wrote about this act of courage in his essay, acknowledging his mistake and the lesson he learned about empathy and compassion. When he handed in his homework, his reflection touched hearts and sparked discussions. Inspired, Miguel vowed to strive to make a difference through doing the right thing in small moments. After all, this experience taught him that true courage lies in small acts of bravery.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本篇文章以故事发展为线索展开，讲述了Miguel的英语老师让学生们以“我所认识的最勇敢的人”为题写一篇作文，但是他想不出来写谁；在放学回家的路上，Miguel逮住垃圾堆上的一只鸡并以两美元卖给了Shafer先生，但是他后来后悔了，把钱退回并把鸡放了；回到家后他写下了这一勇敢的举动，承认了自己的错误，也意识到真正的勇气在于勇敢的小举动。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
由首句内容“‘我会救你的。’他停下来自言自语道。”可知，下文可描写Miguel把两美元还给了Shafer先生换回鸡，并把鸡放了；回家后他在自己的文章中写下了这一勇敢的举动，承认了自己的错误，并从中吸取了教训也意识到真正的勇气在于勇敢的小举动。
2. 续写线索：回去换回鸡并把鸡放了——写下这一勇敢的举动并承认错误——决定从小事做出改变——意识到真正的勇气在于勇敢的小举动
3. 词汇激活：

In the ever-changing world of women’s artistic gymnastics, there has been a gymnast for more than three decades: Oksana Chusovitina.
The 48-year-old had said with certainty that her final competition would be the Tokyo 2020 Games. With no fans in the stands to honor her legendary career (职业生涯) , judges, coaches and other athletes did their best to give her a party worthy of all she’d given the sport. After she thanked them through tears in her eyes, she told media that was her swansong.
However, just a few months after the Tokyo Olympics, Chusovitina said that she would return to training, dreaming of one final medal at a major competition —the Asian Games—for Uzbekistan. “I just can’t finish my career without a medal for my motherland,” she said on her Instagram story.
Chusovitina first competed in the 1992 Olympics as part of the Unified Team and won a team gold medal there. Though she represented (代表) Uzbekistan in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics, her second Olympic medal came some 16 years later in the 2008 Olympics. Chusovitina, then representing her third nation, Germany, where better medical treatment was provided for her sick son, got the silver medal.
And now, her story continues. The historic eight-time Olympian has started her ninth trip to the 2024 Paris Olympics. At the first two World Cup stops of the season she won bronze medals. “Thank you all so much for the support,” she wrote on Instagram. “First start, first medal.”
“More to come,” added the gymnast, whose motto is “I’d rather try today than regret tomorrow”.
4. What does the underlined word “swansong” mean in paragraph 2
A. A popular song. B. A great honor.
C. The last performance. D. The wonderful career.
5. What made Chusovitina return to training after the Tokyo Olympics
A. Personal glory. B. National pride.
C. Economic situation. D. International pressure.
6. Why did Chusovitina represent Germany in the 2008 Olympics
A. To win more medals. B. To receive better education.
C. To get medical treatment for her son. D. To learn skills from the national team.
7. Which word best describes Chusovitina
A. Determined. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Curious.

San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
8. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.
9. What challenge is the waterfront facing
A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.
C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.
10. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
11. What can be learned from the text
A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.
C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.
D
Sleep is so important that it has long interested scientists. Scientists have studied everything from mice to fruit flies in the lab to get a better understanding of what happens when animals sleep and why they do it. However, gathering data (数据) on how animals sleep in their natural habitat has always been hard to do.
But scientists did just that with wild chinstrap penguins in Antarctica. In doing so researchers found the birds took over ten thousand microsleeps throughout the day — adding up to a 11-hour-long sleep.
To study the penguins, scientists put devices (设备) into a small group of penguins’ brain and neck muscles, which provided the brain wave and location data. The devices had never been used before, so this data collection was only supposed to be a test. However, the process went so well and the data was published in this study.
Researchers found that the microsleeps last only seconds. Researchers think that being able to sleep for such a short time might help the animals avoid predators (捕食者) that might more likely attack if the penguins were asleep for longer — especially when one parent goes out feeding in the ocean for days, leaving the other parent to protect the eggs from predatory birds.
The study is an early insight into a relatively large missing scientific knowledge about sleep.
“Almost every study on sleeping birds discovers something new something we didn’t know about before,” says study co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel.

Miguel looked across the school campus. Why did the English teacher annoy the whole class with such a stupid topic, “The Most Courageous Person I’ve Known” He groaned (呻吟) at the painful thought of writing two full pages about a person who didn’t exist. He just couldn’t think of anyone.
At twelve, Miguel just wanted to be a boy. He wanted to play, get his homework done as quickly as possible, and eat. He reached his pocket for a candy bar, tore open the wrapper with his teeth and headed home.
Passing an alley (胡同) , he spotted a white chicken poking at a dirty bag that lay on a pile of garbage. Then, like soup, an idea bubbled in his mind. He got the dirty bag, held it open and got close to the chicken slowly. It lifted its head, took a few slow steps and clucked (咯咯叫) . Miguel was quick. He caught it by the neck, pushed it in and tied the bag.
For a moment, he felt like a fox, the trickiest of all animals. Now, it was time to go to Mr. Shafer, who sold chickens. Luckily, Mr. Shafer was in his front yard. Miguel announced that he had a nice chicken for him because his grandma couldn’t eat chicken anymore. Mr. Shafer took the chicken out, examined it carefully and handed him two dollars.
The chicken looked up at him with kind of sad eyes. Miguel’s heart sank. Why could I become so unfeeling What had I done Miguel groaned to himself. Money in hand, he turned around quickly and ran toward his home, trying not to think of the defenseless chicken. Yet, those sad eyes of the chicken seemed to be staring at him all the way.
