All of the hotel’s profits go to support the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife.

Jon Fosse has won the 2023 Nobel Prize in literature, “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”. The 64-year-old playwright is not well-known outside his home country of Norway. But the author is internationally celebrated in literary circles and has been called “the most produced living playwright”.
Fosse grew up on a rural farm near Strandebarm, Norway, where his grandparents lived in one house while he, his parents, and two sisters lived in another. His father worked as a manager of Strandebarm Cooperative, a local grocery store, and his mother was a caregiver. Fosse started writing at age 12 or 13, first composing song lyrics and later trying poems.
In 1979 Fosse graduated from high school and moved to Bergen, where he began working for the newspaper Gula Tidend. That same year he became a father, and the following year he married the mother of his child. In the next decades he married twice more and had five additional children. Meanwhile, throughout the 1980s he studied at the University of Bergen, receiving a Master of Art in comparative literature in 1987.
Also during the 1980s, Fosse published his first novels, namely Red, Black, whose topic is suicide, and Stringed Guitar, about a mother in a difficult situation after locking herself out of her house where she has left her baby.
The playwright began as a novelist, and did not break through as a theater writer until he was in his 40s. His international reputation as a playwright was confirmed in 1998, with a Paris production of his first play Someone Is Going to Come, which had been written in 1992. Since then, his work has been performed in more than 60 countries around the world, according to his translator, Ann Henning Jocelyn. According to his publisher, Fosse’s work has been translated into more than 40 languages, and there have been more than 1,000 different productions of his plays.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re talking to someone but they keep looking at their phone This is called “phubbing” — a mix of the words “phone” and “snubbing”, which is the act of ignoring someone in favor of the phone. It can happen in any conversation — whether it’s with a friend, family member, or even a business associate. When someone is “phubbing”, they’re using their phone to look through the online news, check messages, play games and so on, instead of focusing on the conversation or spending time with the people they’re with.
The word was first used back in 2012, when fewer people had smartphones. And now that most people have smartphones, phubbing is a common problem. Most people would agree that it’s rude to be focused on your phone when you’re spending time with another person. The expert William Hanson thinks so, too. “Phubbing is a no-no!” he says. “If you have planned to go out with friends, focus on them and not your friends on your phone.” Studies have found that phubbing can damage your relationships with others. Eye contact is super important in bonding and developing oxytocin, the chemical that builds trust and connection. A lack of eye contact due to phubbing can make people feel like you don’t care about them or value their time.
Phubbing can make people feel disregarded, and those who “phub” are thought of as less polite and caring. So science has shown that phubbing is not good for us — but why do we do it It might be because we are feeling bored, worried or stressed. Or it might be because we are addicted to checking our phones, especially social media. Whatever the reason may be, phubbing is a bad habit and can make us miss out on real moments with the people around us. So the next time you’re spending time with a friend or family member, try and keep your phone out of sight!
8. What can we learn from the passage
A. Phubbing dates from 2012.
B. Phubbing means using phone when necessary.
C. Phubbing only happens in business associates.
D. Phubbing is the act of focusing on people instead of phones.
9. Which of the following states would William Hanson agree with
A. Phubbing would benefit relationship.
B. It is polite to phub when meeting friends.
C. People don’t need eye contact to show their caring.
D. Phone should be put aside when they meet their friends.
10. Which is NOT a reason for people’s phubbing according to the passage
A. They are bored. B. They think it a fashion to phub.
C. They are addicted to their phones. D. They want to check their social media.
11. What does the underline word “disregarded” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Concerned. B. Protested. C. Focused. D. Ignored.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。phubbing意为“低头症”，是phone(电话)和snubbing(怠慢)两个词的合成词，指的是因为使用手机而忽略了其他人的行为。文章对此进行了介绍。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The word was first used back in 2012, when fewer people had smartphones.(这个词最早出现在2012年，当时拥有智能手机的人还比较少。)”可知，“低头症”这个词始于2012年。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第三句和第四句“Most people would agree that it’s rude to be focused on your phone when you’re spending time with another person. The expert William Hanson thinks so, too.(大多数人都会认同，当你和另一个人在一起的时候，专注于你的手机是不礼貌的。专家威廉·汉森也这么认为。)”可知，威廉·汉森会认为和朋友见面时应该把手机放在一边。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句和第四句“It might be because we are feeling bored, worried or stressed. Or it might be because we are addicted to checking our phones, especially social media.(这可能是因为我们感到无聊、担心或有压力。也可能是因为我们沉迷于查看手机，尤其是社交媒体。)”可知，低头症的原因不包括人们认为低头是一种时尚。故选B。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句中的“and those who “phub” are thought of as less polite and caring(而那些“低头”的人则被认为没有礼貌、不关心他人)”可知，此处是指“低头症”会让人们觉得被忽视，所以disregarded意为“被忽视的”。故选D。
D
Kids and teenagers who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might also be helping themselves. That’s according to a new research published in JAMA Network Open, in May.
Kids who participated in community service were 34% more likely to be in very good physical health than those who didn’t participate, the study found. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered doing well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety than peers who didn’t. The findings come from survey data provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17. About half of those parents reported that their kids did volunteer work.
Studies like this have limitations. Parents answered questions about their kids’ health and community-service activity. But a parent might not know if their child experiences anxiety or considers themselves to be doing well in general. This type of data also can’t prove cause and effect. It can only uncover connections. So it’s not possible to say for sure that volunteering leads to better mental and physical health. It could be that people in good health are more likely to have the energy or desire to volunteer.
But the data comes at an important time for youth mental health. In recent years, rates of depression and anxiety have risen among young people. More than 40% of high school students reported experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness. So there’s a clear need for accessible and effective mental health resources. Giving back to the community may be one such resource. And this study isn’t the only one to reach that conclusion. Previous research has also found links between volunteering and well-being among adults. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. Generosity has also been shown to boost happiness and improve physical health. It might be a practice worth doing.
12. How many kids in the US who volunteered were less likely to be anxious
A. 12,500. B. 17,000. C. 33,000. D. 50,000.
13. What can we learn from the third paragraph
A. Healthy people are less likely to volunteer.
B. Volunteering surely leads to better mental and physical health.
C. Parents know their kids’ mental and physical health very well.
D. There is a relationship between health and community-service activity.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. There are various mental health resources.
B. People of all ages will serve the community.
C. Serving the community will benefit mental health.
D. High school students are suffering mental health problems.
15. Which proverb best matches the article
A. He laughs best who laughs last.
B. The rose is in her hand, the flavor in mine.
C. The longest journey begins with the first step.
D. Treat other people as you hope they will treat you.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项调查研究发现，做志愿者的孩子和青少年自身也受益于志愿活动，他们的身心健康水平更高，虽然该研究有其局限性，但就目前年轻人患抑郁症和焦虑症的比例有所上升的情况来看，投身志愿活动不失为解决该问题的一种有效方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety than peers who didn’t. The findings come from survey data provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17. (参加志愿者活动的12岁及以上的孩子比没有参加的同龄人患焦虑症的可能性低25%。这一发现来自美国5万名6至17岁儿童的父母提供的调查数据)”可知，在美国，约有12500名（=50000×25%）做志愿者的孩子不太容易焦虑。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“This type of data also can’t prove cause and effect. It can only uncover connections. So it’s not possible to say for sure that volunteering leads to better mental and physical health. It could be that people in good health are more likely to have the energy or desire to volunteer. (这种类型的数据也不能证明因果关系。它只能揭示联系。因此，不能肯定地说志愿活动能带来更好的心理和身体健康。这可能是因为身体健康的人更有可能有精力或意愿去做志愿者)”可推知，虽然志愿活动和心理和身体健康之间的因果关系尚不能确定，但是两者之间的确是有联系的。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是其中的“Previous research has also found links between volunteering and well-being among adults. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. Generosity has also been shown to boost happiness and improve physical health. It might be a practice worth doing. (之前的研究也发现了志愿者活动与成年人幸福感之间的联系。为社区服务似乎能让人们有一种使命感。这让他们觉得自己与周围的人有联系。慷慨也被证明能提升幸福感和改善身体健康。这可能是一个值得做的实践)”可知，本段主要结合目前年轻人患抑郁症和焦虑症的比例有所上升的背景，对做社区志愿服务的意义进行了补充说明，表明这种服务的确可以赋予人们幸福感、使命感、与他人的联系，改善人们的健康。因此，本段主要是揭示为社区服务将有利于心理健康。故选C项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Kids and teenagers who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might also be helping themselves. (做志愿者的孩子和青少年不仅仅是在帮助他们的社区。他们也可能是在帮助自己)”可知，文章围绕一项调查研究的发现展开，主要介绍了其发现内容：做志愿者的孩子和青少年自身也受益于志愿活动，他们的身心健康水平更高，同时指出了该研究的局限性和意义。因此，B项“赠人玫瑰，手留余香”最契合该研究发现的结果。A. 最后的胜利才是真正的胜利；C. 千里之行，始于足下；D. 己所不欲，勿施于人。故选B项。

Some people are motivated by rewards, while others prefer consequences to keep them in line.

Because of this fact, you can make use of the differences ____42____(tell) which country the foreigners are from. For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver, “Come up straight to my apartment ____43____ elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs”, instead of ____44____(request), “Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis”, you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that he _____45_____(be) British.
【答案】36. an 37. frequently
38. which##that
39. be understood
40. Actually
41. expressions
42. to tell
43. by 44. requesting
45. is
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了不同的国家有不同的英语。英语在传播过程中在发音、词汇、拼写等方面都发生了一下细微的变化，我们可以根据这些语言差异辨别他们的国籍。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：英国人航海对于传播英语起着重要的作用。固定短语play an important part in…意为“在…中起着重要作用”，important以元音音素开头，不定冠词an修饰part，故填an。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：目前，英语经常作为一种官方语言和常用语言被许多国家使用，诸如美国、新加坡、马来西亚和一些非洲国家。修饰动词用副词作状语，故填frequently。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：建立在英式英语的基础上，在这些国家中讲的英语可以被英国本地人很容易理解。空处引导定语从句，代替先行词English在从句中作主语应用关系代词which/that作引导词。故填which/that。
【39题详解】
考查动词语态。句意同上。分析句子可知，understand作谓语，与主语the English是被动关系，用被动语态，空前can为情态动词，故填be understood。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上，这些英语逐渐都已在口音、拼写、表达和词汇用法上发生了变化。分析句子可知，本句中使用副词修饰整个句子，故填Actually。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：实际上，这些英语已经在语音、拼写、表达和词汇的用法上逐渐有了变化了。句中应该使用express的名词形式与accent、spelling构成并列关系，作介词in的宾语，可数名词，根据句意用复数，故填expressions。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因为这个事实，你可以充分利用这些差异来区别外国人来自哪一个国家。分析句子可知，用不定式作目的状语，说明人们利用语言的差异的目的，故填to tell。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：例如，如果老板流利地命令他的司机，“直接坐elevator（电梯）来我的公寓，给我的卡车和出租车带点gas（汽油）”而不是请求“请乘lift（电梯）到我的公寓，为我的卡车和出租车加点petrol（汽油）”，你可以认出他的美国身份，而后者则表明他是英国人。结合句意，空白处+elevator表示去往公寓的方式方法，需要用by elevator表示“搭乘电梯”。故填by。
【44题详解】
考查动名词。句意同上。本句instead of的后面要动名词作宾语，所以要填动名词形式requesting。故填requesting。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意同8小题。分析句子可知，that引导宾语从句，be动词是从句谓语，文章讲述事实，用一般现在时，主语he是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，故填is。

第二节（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。
A man called, asking if an owl（猫头鹰）could be rescued. Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York. She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year, the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2020”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was.
The tale of the owl’s rescue quickly became the highlight of this year’s tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree. Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive.
In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center. Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Kalish took the box carefully.

Rocky didn’t look that terrible as she was in the box a week before.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Kalish took the box carefully. She opened the box gently. The owl was standing in a cardboard box, looking straight at her. “I thought, this is a miracle! How did this bird survive this trip ” She named the owl Rockefeller, or “Rocky.” “She was super hungry,” she says, estimating that she probably had not been able to eat or drink for at least a few days. She immediately gave her water and food—a few frozen mice—which she ate quickly. A veterinarian examined her, and x-rays showed that she had no broken bones or inner damage. By Thursday, Rocky started to bathe herself—a sign she was feeling good. An owl bath, Kalish says, leads to “water everywhere.”
Rocky didn’t look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight. By Tuesday at dusk, she seemed ready to go. Kalish brought Rocky to a clearing of nearby forest, removed her from her carrier and raised her toward the sky. Rocky sat on Kalish’s hand for several moments, surveying her surroundings. Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree.
【解析】
【导语】本文以时间发展为线索展开，主要记叙了Ravensbeard野生动物救助中心的创始人Ellen Kalish接到陌生电话，问询他们是否接受野生猫头鹰，Ellen驱车30分钟后赶到了洛克菲勒中心的门前，救治这只“意外的小家伙”。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“卡利什小心翼翼地接过盒子。”可知，后文应该是讲述卡利什在盒子里看到了小猫头鹰。讲述了她照顾猫头鹰的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“Rocky看起来并不像一周前盒子里那幺可怕。”可知，第二段可描写卡利什对Rocky进行户外练习，让她就能适应环境。有一天终于能够自由飞翔。
2.续写线索：
打开盒子——发现猫头鹰——照顾——逐渐恢复——自由飞翔
3.词汇激活

Hotels Where Wild Animals Wander Free

Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa
Located within the Madikwe Game Reserve, the Makanyane Safari Lodge offers guests up close views of the surrounding bush and the wildlife that resides within it.

The lodge is home to 200 resident animals and birds, including gazelles, flamingos, zebras, and giraffes.
Giraffe Manor

All of the hotel’s profits go to support the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife.

Jon Fosse has won the 2023 Nobel Prize in literature, “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”. The 64-year-old playwright is not well-known outside his home country of Norway. But the author is internationally celebrated in literary circles and has been called “the most produced living playwright”.
Fosse grew up on a rural farm near Strandebarm, Norway, where his grandparents lived in one house while he, his parents, and two sisters lived in another. His father worked as a manager of Strandebarm Cooperative, a local grocery store, and his mother was a caregiver. Fosse started writing at age 12 or 13, first composing song lyrics and later trying poems.
In 1979 Fosse graduated from high school and moved to Bergen, where he began working for the newspaper Gula Tidend. That same year he became a father, and the following year he married the mother of his child. In the next decades he married twice more and had five additional children. Meanwhile, throughout the 1980s he studied at the University of Bergen, receiving a Master of Art in comparative literature in 1987.
Also during the 1980s, Fosse published his first novels, namely Red, Black, whose topic is suicide, and Stringed Guitar, about a mother in a difficult situation after locking herself out of her house where she has left her baby.
The playwright began as a novelist, and did not break through as a theater writer until he was in his 40s. His international reputation as a playwright was confirmed in 1998, with a Paris production of his first play Someone Is Going to Come, which had been written in 1992. Since then, his work has been performed in more than 60 countries around the world, according to his translator, Ann Henning Jocelyn. According to his publisher, Fosse’s work has been translated into more than 40 languages, and there have been more than 1,000 different productions of his plays.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re talking to someone but they keep looking at their phone This is called “phubbing” — a mix of the words “phone” and “snubbing”, which is the act of ignoring someone in favor of the phone. It can happen in any conversation — whether it’s with a friend, family member, or even a business associate. When someone is “phubbing”, they’re using their phone to look through the online news, check messages, play games and so on, instead of focusing on the conversation or spending time with the people they’re with.
The word was first used back in 2012, when fewer people had smartphones. And now that most people have smartphones, phubbing is a common problem. Most people would agree that it’s rude to be focused on your phone when you’re spending time with another person. The expert William Hanson thinks so, too. “Phubbing is a no-no!” he says. “If you have planned to go out with friends, focus on them and not your friends on your phone.” Studies have found that phubbing can damage your relationships with others. Eye contact is super important in bonding and developing oxytocin, the chemical that builds trust and connection. A lack of eye contact due to phubbing can make people feel like you don’t care about them or value their time.
Phubbing can make people feel disregarded, and those who “phub” are thought of as less polite and caring. So science has shown that phubbing is not good for us — but why do we do it It might be because we are feeling bored, worried or stressed. Or it might be because we are addicted to checking our phones, especially social media. Whatever the reason may be, phubbing is a bad habit and can make us miss out on real moments with the people around us. So the next time you’re spending time with a friend or family member, try and keep your phone out of sight!
8. What can we learn from the passage
A. Phubbing dates from 2012.
B. Phubbing means using phone when necessary.
C. Phubbing only happens in business associates.
D. Phubbing is the act of focusing on people instead of phones.
9. Which of the following states would William Hanson agree with
A. Phubbing would benefit relationship.
B. It is polite to phub when meeting friends.
C. People don’t need eye contact to show their caring.
D. Phone should be put aside when they meet their friends.
10. Which is NOT a reason for people’s phubbing according to the passage
A. They are bored. B. They think it a fashion to phub.
C. They are addicted to their phones. D. They want to check their social media.
11. What does the underline word “disregarded” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Concerned. B. Protested. C. Focused. D. Ignored.

Kids who participated in community service were 34% more likely to be in very good physical health than those who didn’t participate, the study found. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered doing well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety than peers who didn’t. The findings come from survey data provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17. About half of those parents reported that their kids did volunteer work.
Studies like this have limitations. Parents answered questions about their kids’ health and community-service activity. But a parent might not know if their child experiences anxiety or considers themselves to be doing well in general. This type of data also can’t prove cause and effect. It can only uncover connections. So it’s not possible to say for sure that volunteering leads to better mental and physical health. It could be that people in good health are more likely to have the energy or desire to volunteer.
But the data comes at an important time for youth mental health. In recent years, rates of depression and anxiety have risen among young people. More than 40% of high school students reported experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness. So there’s a clear need for accessible and effective mental health resources. Giving back to the community may be one such resource. And this study isn’t the only one to reach that conclusion. Previous research has also found links between volunteering and well-being among adults. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. Generosity has also been shown to boost happiness and improve physical health. It might be a practice worth doing.

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。
A man called, asking if an owl（猫头鹰）could be rescued. Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York. She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year, the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2020”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was.
The tale of the owl’s rescue quickly became the highlight of this year’s tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree. Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive.
In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center. Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside.
