“Where I grew up, there were not a lot of plants outside,” said Yolanda Palmer. “Some people had them; some people didn’t.”
Palmer, who is from Southwest Philadelphia, discovered her love for plants at the age of 10. Growing up, she developed great skills in growing plants and learned more about nature each and every day.
“As I got a little older, one block in my neighborhood would be filled with flowers and things in the yard,” she said. “But in another block there would be none.”
Since then, Palmer had wanted to share her love of plants with the community. But the dream remained just a seed (种子) while she worked an ordinary day job. Sitting in the company she often thought she had to do something else. Palmer then planted the seed. She started small, selling at a local outdoor market in Southwest Philadelphia and then coming to shows and festivals in Chestnut Hill.
By December 2021, she had her store on German town Avenue, “Foliage”. There, she sells common plants, rare (罕见的) plants, small plants, and large plants. “The goal is to sell them to homeowners to beautify their home and also to clean the air,” she said.
Palmer’s home is in Chestnut Hill, a central gardening center in the city. She hopes her message will be able to reach other communities in the Philadelphia area. “Everyone should buy houseplants. Everyone should want cleaner air,” she said. “And that way, in the future when our children grow up, we can make it better.”
Palmer plans on continuing to work hard to support not only her store, but her boys, four dogs, one cat and 128 plants at home.
4. What did Palmer find when she was young
A. Her neighbors disliked plants.
B. People knew little about plants.
C. There were few kinds of plants.
D. Plants were not seen everywhere.
5. What is Palmer doing now
A. Managing a gardening center. B. Running her own plant store.
C. Beautifying her block with plants. D. Teaching communities about plants.
6. What does Palmer hope
A. Everyone can protect the plants.
B. More locals will have houseplants.
C. Children can learn more about plants.
D. She will have an outdoor market for plants.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. From hobby to job: Palmer has made it
B. From class to work: Palmer’s happy habit
C. From village to city: Palmer is on the road
D. From seed to flower: Palmer’s future dream
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“‘Where I grew up, there were not a lot of plants outside,’ said Yolanda Palmer. ‘Some people had them; some people didn’t.’(‘在我长大的地方，外面没有很多植物，’尤兰达·帕尔默说。‘有些人有;一些人没有。’)”可知，Palmer小时候发现她长大的地方植物并非随处可见。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“By December 2021, she had her store on German town Avenue, ‘Foliage’. There, she sells common plants, rare (罕见的) plants, small plants, and large plants. ‘The goal is to sell them to homeowners to beautify their home and also to clean the air,’ she said.(到2021 12月，她在German town 大道上开了一家名为Foliage的商店。在那里，她出售常见的稀有植物、小植物和大植物)”可知，现在Palmer经营着自己的植物商店。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“She hopes her message will be able to reach other communities in the Philadelphia area. ‘Everyone should buy houseplants. Everyone should want cleaner air,’ she said.(她希望她的信息能够传播到费城地区的其他社区。她说：‘每个人都应该买室内植物。每个人都需要更清洁的空气。’)”可知，Palmer希望更多当地人有室内植物。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第二段“Palmer, who is from Southwest Philadelphia, discovered her love for plants at the age of 10. Growing up, she developed great skills in growing plants and learned more about nature each and every day.(来自费城西南部的帕默在10岁时发现了自己对植物的热爱。在成长过程中，她在种植植物方面发展出了高超的技能，每天都在学习更多关于大自然的知识)”和倒数第三段“By December 2021, she had her store on German town Avenue, ‘Foliage’. There, she sells common plants, rare (罕见的) plants, small plants, and large plants. “The goal is to sell them to homeowners to beautify their home and also to clean the air,” she said.(到2021 12月，她在German town 大道上开了一家名为Foliage的商店。在那里，她出售常见的稀有植物、小植物和大植物。她说：‘我们的目标是把它们卖给房主，以美化他们的房子，并净化空气。’)”可知，文章主要讲述了爱好种植植物的Yolanda Palmer通过努力将自己的爱好变为工作，并希望能够影响更多人去种植植物的故事。故A项“从爱好到工作:Palmer成功了”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
C
In an ideal world, we would be able to devote as much time to sports as we feel we need. But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts representing a balance of opposite forces which are also interconnected. Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. They are complementary to one another, as one cannot exist without the other.
Yin Yang yoga is a combination (结合体) of high-energy movement which builds energy, increases strength and promotes stamina (耐力), followed by the more restful practice of Yin to give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system.
If you have a busy and active life you may feel more in Yang, so taking some cooler, slower Yin yoga practice into your routine may help you feel calmer and more balanced.
If you are practicing for an hour, divide the time in half. Warm up with sun salutations (拜日式瑜伽), continue into a dynamic flow and then move on to some standing postures. After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!
As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.
8. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.
B. We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.
C. Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.
D. Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.
9. What does the underlined word “complementary” probably mean in the second paragraph
A. Independent from one another.
B. Competitive against one another.
C. Similar to each other but unable to work together as a whole.
D. Different from each other but together making a good combination.
10. Which of the following might be the advantage of Yin postures
A. Relaxing muscles. B. Building stamina.
C. Strengthening the body. D. Quickening the heartbeat.
11. What suggestion does the writer give in the last two paragraphs
A. Hold each Yin posture for longer than 5 minutes.
B. Do not practice yoga when you are not in good health.
C. Start your yoga practice with an expert trainer.
D. Spare half an hour for five Yin postures in every yoga practice.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阴阳瑜伽。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.(但在现实中，随着工作和家庭的需求不断增长，我们只能在可以的时候抓住锻炼身体的机会。充分利用这段时间来练习阴阳瑜伽，它混合了瑜伽的动态和慢节奏元素，帮助你保持活跃和放松)”可知，阴阳瑜伽是我们忙碌时的一种体育锻炼选择。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线处上句“Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. (阴是不活跃的、冷却的、消极的，与女性的力量有关。阳是活跃的，温暖的，积极的，与行动和运动有关) ”以及后句“as one cannot exist without the other. (因为一个人离不开另一个) ”可知，他们彼此不同，但在一起形成了一个很好的组合。故划线词complementary意为“相互补充的，相辅相成的”，和D项“Different from each other but together making a good combination(彼此不同，但在一起形成一个很好的组合)”含义相近。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“...followed by the more restful practice of Yin to give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system. (然后是更安静的阴瑜伽练习，给我们一个更深的伸展和平静的神经系统)”以及文章第五段中“After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!(半小时后，你的心脏会跳动，肌肉会收紧，你会感到精力充沛，但准备好休息了。然后选择五个阴的姿势，保持3-5分钟，如果你喜欢的话，甚至更长时间!)”可推知，阴的姿势可以放松肌肉。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.(一如既往，如果你是瑜伽初学者或有健康问题，一定要先参加训练有素的教练的课程，以指导你安全地完成瑜伽练习，避免受伤) ”可知，作者建议在教练的指导下开始你的瑜伽练习。故选C。
D
A small town in western France has gone viral for marking a busy crossroads with overlapping (重叠) white lines in order to confuse motorists and make them slow down.
The town of Bauné, near Angers, is home to only about 1,700 people, but it has to deal with heavy traffic on a daily basis because of its location at the crossroads between two departmental roads — D74 and D82. Some of the roughly 2,300 vehicles that pass through Bauné every day can have speeds of over 100 km/h, even though the town’s crossroads is clearly marked with signs limiting the speed at 30 km/h. In order to get drivers to slow down, local authorities came up with the idea of using confusing road markings in the form of overlapping continuous lines. Interestingly enough, the strategy worked like a charm!
Photos of the odd road markings on the busy crossroads of Bauné went viral on French social media recently and left a lot of people scratching (抓) their heads. Many people have pointed out that a continuous white line is impassable (不可通行的), so having the lines overlap and cover the entire square doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Others simply wondered why the local authorities didn’t use more traditional means of decreasing vehicle speed, like a roundabout (环形交叉路口) or traffic lights.
According to Grégoire Jauneault, deputy mayor of Loire-Authion and the person in charge of local development, the deliberately confusing road markings started working on the day they were completed, with data showing a significant decrease in motorists’ speeds. However, a part of the local community predicted that the result was only temporary and that as soon as motorists figured out the game, they would go right back to their speeding ways.
12. What’s the purpose of marking a busy crossroads with overlapping white lines
A. To make headlines on social media.
B. To reduce traffic jam at the crossroads
C. To make drivers slow down their speed.
D. To reduce the number of people crossing the crossroads.
13. What is true about the town
A. Only 1,7000 people living there.
B. The speed limit is 100 km/h at the crossroads.
C. Traffic jam happens every day at the crossroads.
D. Roughly 2,300 vehicles pass through Bauné every week.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the strategy
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Opposed D. Objective
15. Where can you probably find the passage
A. In a textbook B. In the newspaper
C. In a research paper D. In a travel magazine
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻稿。文章讲述法国西部的一个小镇因用重叠的白线标记繁忙的十字路口，以迷惑驾车者并使他们减速而走红。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“In order to get drivers to slow down, local authorities came up with the idea of using confusing road markings in the form of overlapping continuous lines. Interestingly enough, the strategy worked like a charm!(为了让司机减速，地方当局想出了以重叠连续线的形式使用令人困惑的道路标线的想法。有趣的是，这一策略奏效了！)”可知，地方当局者这样做的目的是为了让司机减速。故选C项。
【13题详解】

(Angers附近的 Bauné镇只有大约1700人，但由于位于D74和D82两条省道之间的十字路口，每天都要应对繁忙的交通。)”可知，十字路口每天都会发生交通堵塞。故选C项。

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马厩), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth. The baby horse leant close to him, and Martin smiled, feeling the warmth he had never felt before. For the first time, he realized how much joy he could find in caring for another living being. I could see something changed in Martin’s eyes. Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.” From that day on, Martin made it his mission to care for the baby horse. As he did, he felt his anger and sadness slowly melting away. He became more empathetic, more patient, and more connected to the world around him. As we watched Martin’s transformation unfold, we knew that our “boy-horse communication program” had done its job. That was the true power of the ranch — not just to help boys in trouble, but to heal their spirits and give them hope for the future.

“Where I grew up, there were not a lot of plants outside,” said Yolanda Palmer. “Some people had them; some people didn’t.”
Palmer, who is from Southwest Philadelphia, discovered her love for plants at the age of 10. Growing up, she developed great skills in growing plants and learned more about nature each and every day.
“As I got a little older, one block in my neighborhood would be filled with flowers and things in the yard,” she said. “But in another block there would be none.”
Since then, Palmer had wanted to share her love of plants with the community. But the dream remained just a seed (种子) while she worked an ordinary day job. Sitting in the company she often thought she had to do something else. Palmer then planted the seed. She started small, selling at a local outdoor market in Southwest Philadelphia and then coming to shows and festivals in Chestnut Hill.
By December 2021, she had her store on German town Avenue, “Foliage”. There, she sells common plants, rare (罕见的) plants, small plants, and large plants. “The goal is to sell them to homeowners to beautify their home and also to clean the air,” she said.
Palmer’s home is in Chestnut Hill, a central gardening center in the city. She hopes her message will be able to reach other communities in the Philadelphia area. “Everyone should buy houseplants. Everyone should want cleaner air,” she said. “And that way, in the future when our children grow up, we can make it better.”
Palmer plans on continuing to work hard to support not only her store, but her boys, four dogs, one cat and 128 plants at home.
4. What did Palmer find when she was young
A. Her neighbors disliked plants.
B. People knew little about plants.
C. There were few kinds of plants.
D. Plants were not seen everywhere.
5. What is Palmer doing now
A. Managing a gardening center. B. Running her own plant store.
C. Beautifying her block with plants. D. Teaching communities about plants.
6. What does Palmer hope
A. Everyone can protect the plants.
B. More locals will have houseplants.
C. Children can learn more about plants.
D. She will have an outdoor market for plants.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. From hobby to job: Palmer has made it
B. From class to work: Palmer’s happy habit
C. From village to city: Palmer is on the road
D. From seed to flower: Palmer’s future dream
C
In an ideal world, we would be able to devote as much time to sports as we feel we need. But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts representing a balance of opposite forces which are also interconnected. Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. They are complementary to one another, as one cannot exist without the other.
Yin Yang yoga is a combination (结合体) of high-energy movement which builds energy, increases strength and promotes stamina (耐力), followed by the more restful practice of Yin to give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system.
If you have a busy and active life you may feel more in Yang, so taking some cooler, slower Yin yoga practice into your routine may help you feel calmer and more balanced.
If you are practicing for an hour, divide the time in half. Warm up with sun salutations (拜日式瑜伽), continue into a dynamic flow and then move on to some standing postures. After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!
As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.
8. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.
B. We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.
C. Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.
D. Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.
9. What does the underlined word “complementary” probably mean in the second paragraph

A small town in western France has gone viral for marking a busy crossroads with overlapping (重叠的) white lines in order to confuse motorists and make them slow down.
The town of Bauné, near Angers, is home to only about 1,700 people, but it has to deal with heavy traffic on a daily basis because of its location at the crossroads between two departmental roads — D74 and D82. Some of the roughly 2,300 vehicles that pass through Bauné every day can have speeds of over 100 km/h, even though the town’s crossroads is clearly marked with signs limiting the speed at 30 km/h. In order to get drivers to slow down, local authorities came up with the idea of using confusing road markings in the form of overlapping continuous lines. Interestingly enough, the strategy worked like a charm!
Photos of the odd road markings on the busy crossroads of Bauné went viral on French social media recently and left a lot of people scratching (抓) their heads. Many people have pointed out that a continuous white line is impassable (不可通行的), so having the lines overlap and cover the entire square doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Others simply wondered why the local authorities didn’t use more traditional means of decreasing vehicle speed, like a roundabout (环形交叉路口) or traffic lights.
According to Grégoire Jauneault, deputy mayor of Loire-Authion and the person in charge of local development, the deliberately confusing road markings started working on the day they were completed, with data showing a significant decrease in motorists’ speeds. However, a part of the local community predicted that the result was only temporary and that as soon as motorists figured out the game, they would go right back to their speeding ways.
12. What’s the purpose of marking a busy crossroads with overlapping white lines
A. To make headlines on social media.
B. To reduce traffic jam at the crossroads
C. To make drivers slow down their speed.
D. To reduce the number of people crossing the crossroads.
13. What is true about the town
A. Only 1,7000 people living there.
B. The speed limit is 100 km/h at the crossroads.
C. Traffic jam happens every day at the crossroads.
D. Roughly 2,300 vehicles pass through Bauné every week.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the strategy
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Opposed D. Objective
15. Where can you probably find the passage
A. In a textbook B. In the newspaper
C. In a research paper D. In a travel magazine

Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马厩), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
