As a boy, John Kerr wanted to be a fireman or a park ranger (公园管理员). Looking back on that childhood dream, he says, “This is exactly what I was longing for.”
Instead, after graduation, he spent four decades at WGBH in Boston, one of the public broadcasting stations. He retired in 2005 at the age of 65 without any particular post-career goal in mind. After several aimless weeks, he decided to drive his camper to visit family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
During the trip, he stopped at the Yellowstone Park Foundation, which raises funds for Yellowstone, America’s first national park. As it happened, the foundation was hiring people to educate park guests on wolves. Later, Kerr signed up for the position as an intern (实习生) .
Kerr stood out in the intern crowd — most of them were college and even high school students. But, in a sense, he had been prepared for this since his youth. His outdoor adventures with his grandfather had given him a love to nature, and as an adult, he had helped out at the local fire department on medical calls.
From his internship, he moved up to ranger, educating park visitors, ensuring safe encounters between guests and animals, and responding to medical emergencies (紧急情况). He values his stewardship (管理工作) of what he describes as one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and appreciates the moments when he treats a visitor to an up-close look at one of the park’s wolves or bears through his telescope.
“These are rich and all-too-rare moments,” recalls Kerr. “I never forget them.”
5. Why did Kerr go to Wyoming
A. To find a job. B. To visit family.
C. To join an internship. D. To become a volunteer.
6. What can we learn about Kerr according to Paragraph 4
A. He suited the job quite well. B. He was born to love nature.
C. He put out the fire alone. D. He was the only adult intern.
7. What are the duties of Kerr as a park ranger
A. Helping visitors and feeding animals.
B. Training interns and raising money.
C. Handling emergencies and ensuring safety.
D. Putting out fires and repairing telescopes.
8. What is Ker’s attitude towards his stewardship
A. Worried. B. Ashamed. C. Positive. D. Regretful.
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Kerr在退休后，一次偶然的机会遇到公园招聘实习生，他报名参加，并最终当上了护林员，在当护林员的过程中，收获许多丰富而又难得的时刻。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“After several aimless weeks, he decided to drive his camper to visit family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.(在几个漫无目的的星期后，他决定开着他的露营车去拜访怀俄明州杰克逊霍尔的家人。)”可知，Kerr去怀俄明州是为了拜访家人。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Kerr stood out in the intern crowd — most of them were college and even high school students. But, in a sense, he had been prepared for this since his youth. His outdoor adventures with his grandfather had given him a love to nature, and as an adult, he had helped out at the local fire department on medical calls.(在实习生人群中，Kerr显得尤为突出——他们中的大多数都是大学生，甚至是高中生。但是，从某种意义上说，他从小就为此做好了准备。他和祖父的户外冒险经历让他爱上了大自然，成年后，他曾在当地消防部门帮忙处理医疗呼叫。)”可知，Kerr小时候的户外经历以及成年后在消防部门的工作让他在实习中表现很突出；由此可知，Kerr很适合这项工作。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“From his internship, he moved up to ranger, educating park visitors, ensuring safe encounters between guests and animals, and responding to medical emergencies (紧急情况). (实习结束后，他晋升为护林员，为公园游客提供教育，确保游客和动物之间的安全接触，并应对医疗紧急情况。)”可知，作为一名园林管理员，Kerr的职责是确保游客安全，以及处理紧急医疗情况。故选C。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He values his stewardship (管理工作) of what he describes as one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and appreciates the moments when he treats a visitor to an up-close look at one of the park’s wolves or bears through his telescope.(他很珍惜自己对这个被他称为地球上最美丽的地方之一的管理工作，也很欣赏他带游客通过望远镜近距离观察公园里的狼或熊的时刻。)”以及最后一段““These are rich and all-too-rare moments,” recalls Kerr. “I never forget them.”(‘这些都是丰富而罕见的时刻，’科尔回忆道。‘我永远不会忘记他们。’)”可知，作为一名园林管理员，Kerr非常珍惜和喜欢这份园林管理工作；由此可知，他对这份工作是积极的。故选C。
C
Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protet eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Considering how much time we spend on our phones, we may think such glasses are smart choices, right After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even macular degeneration. The glasses can cost SIS all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the information that companies share as they recommend these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun produces a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. However, the problem is blue light at night:it affects the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps adjust our living paces and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from an iPad at night to avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study found that people affected by sleep disorders fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses experience similar eye strain to those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses failed to prevent macular degeneration.
But Dr. Esparaz says, “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful. ”
9. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic. B. To offer an example.
C. To give people suggestions. D. To present the main idea.
10. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The sun. B. The melatonin. C. The device. D. The blue light.
11 Wearing blue-light-blocking glasses is useful when people .
A. watch movies in the cinema B. suffer from eyestrain seriously
C. have sleep problems at night D. use iPad to work in the daytime
12. What can be the best title for this passage
A. A Way to Protect our Eyes B. A Solution to Sleep Disorders
C. Why Blue-light-blocking Glasses Important D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses, to Buy or not to Buy
【答案】9. A 10. D 11. C 12. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了防蓝光眼镜可以保护眼睛免受来自智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯的短波光的影响，但同时提出这种眼镜是否真的有效的疑问。文章回答了这一疑问，指出当人们晚上有睡眠问题时，戴上防蓝光眼镜很有用。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protet eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Considering how much time we spend on our phones, we may think such glasses are smart choices, right After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even macular degeneration. The glasses can cost SIS all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work (防蓝光眼镜可以保护眼睛免受来自智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯的短波光的影响。考虑到我们在手机上花费的时间，我们可能会认为这样的眼镜是明智的选择，对吧？毕竟，眼睛疲劳是一个真正的问题，它会导致睡眠不足，甚至黄斑变性。这种眼镜的价格可能高达几百美元。但它们真的有效吗？)”可推知，第一段的作用是引入文章主题。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文““The sun produces a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz.(埃斯帕拉兹博士说：“当然，太阳产生的蓝光强度比人造设备高得多，这实际上是有益的。”)”以及后文“helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle”可知，上文提到博士说太阳产生的蓝光实际上是有益的，说明这种蓝光有助于我们的情绪和睡眠。故划线词指的是“蓝光”。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from an iPad at night to avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study found that people affected by sleep disorders fell asleep faster after using these glasses.(因此，从理论上讲，戴上防蓝光眼镜可以帮助那些在床上看电影或晚上用iPad阅读的人避免失眠。2021年的一项综述研究发现，受睡眠障碍影响的人在使用这种眼镜后入睡更快)”可知，当人们晚上有睡眠问题时，戴上防蓝光眼镜很有用。故选C。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The glasses can cost SIS all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work (这种眼镜的价格可能高达几百美元。但它们真的有效吗？)”结合文章主要说明了防蓝光眼镜可以保护眼睛免受来自智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯的短波光的影响，但同时提出这种眼镜是否真的有效的疑问。文章回答了这一疑问，指出当人们晚上有睡眠问题时，戴上防蓝光眼镜很有用。可知，D选项“防蓝光眼镜，买还是不买？”最符合文章标题。故选D。
第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡内 将相应的大写字母涂黑。其中有一项为多余选项。
It’s normal to wake up at night, especially as you age, but negative news can further activate your mind and make it hard for you to fall back asleep. Therefore, hope the following tips can help you have a deep sleep.
Test your pillow. ____13____. The National Sleep Foundation recommends replacing it every One to two years. A pillow past its prime can cause neck pain—and restless sleep.
Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. When people cut down on salt, their average toilet trips decreased from twice a night to once. ______14______
______15______. If you need to complain with your wife or husband, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to influence your sleep if you start them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which affects sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed with anger may make you impatient the next morning.
A. Handle your troubles before dinner
B. Those who consumed more salt had a deeper sleep
C. If you bought your pillow in 2020, it’s already old
D. And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom
【答案】13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些有助于睡眠建议。
【13题详解】
根据后文“The National Sleep Foundation recommends replacing it every One to two years. A pillow past its prime can cause neck pain—and restless sleep.(国家睡眠基金会建议每一到两年更换一次。过了巅峰期的枕头会导致颈部疼痛和失眠)”可知，后文提到了枕头建议每一到两年更换一次，可知本句与枕头的使用时长有关。故C选项“如果你在2020年买的枕头，它已经旧了”符合语境，故选C。
【14题详解】
根据上文“When people cut down on salt, their average toilet trips decreased from twice a night to once.(当人们减少盐的摄入量时，他们平均每晚上厕所的次数从两次减少到一次)”可知，上文提到少吃盐可以减少起夜的次数，故反之亦然。故D选项“吃盐多的人起床上厕所的次数也多”符合语境，故选D。
【15题详解】
根据后文“If you need to complain with your wife or husband, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to influence your sleep if you start them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which affects sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed with anger may make you impatient the next morning.(如果你需要向你的妻子或丈夫抱怨，不要等到晚上。如果你早点开始，激烈的讨论不太可能影响你的睡眠。争吵会激活你的交感神经系统，从而影响睡眠。一些研究甚至表明，带着怒气睡觉可能会让你第二天早上变得不耐烦)”可知，本段的主旨是在晚上之前解决一天中的烦恼事，避免影响睡眠。故A选项“在晚饭前解决你的烦恼”符合语境，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国的一种食品—炸鱼薯条。
【31题详解】
考查冠词。句意：英国是一个岛国，吃鱼让我们想起我们在实际生活和精神上对海洋的依赖。该空后island是一个可数名词单数形式，在句中作表语解释主语Britain，众所周知，不列颠是一个岛屿，首次提到island，该空需要使用不定冠词表示泛指，island发音以元音开头，应使用an。故填an。
【32题详解】
考查时态及主谓一致。句意：英国是一个岛国，吃鱼让我们想起我们在实际生活和精神上对海洋的依赖。该空所给动词remind在and后面的分句中作谓语，应使用一般现在时陈述事实；主语eating fish是一个动名词短语，谓语动词应使用单数形式。故填reminds。
【33题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：薯片象征着我们的人民：没有两片薯片是相同的，但我们是团结的，因为我们都是从同一袋土豆中切出来的，都是用同一种油油炸的。所给词potato为可数名词，此处指一口袋的土豆，应使用复数形式，其复数拼写为potatoes。故填potatoes。
【34题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：炸鱼薯条晚餐是英国，也许是世界上最古老的快餐。所给词old为形容词，该空需要一个形容词作定语修饰名词fast food，根据后面的状语in Britain, perhaps in the world可知，英国甚至世界上的快餐种类肯定是三者以上，所以该空应使用形容词old的最高级形式。故填oldest。
【35题详解】
考查介词。句意：鱼在面糊中蘸过，面糊是面粉、鸡蛋和牛奶的混合物。该空需要一个介词表示mixture(混合物)的组成成分，应使用介词of，a mixture of something意为“一种...的混合物”符合语境。故填of。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：当它被扔进热油里时，面糊就像海绵一样吸收了最大量的油，使它变得美味多汁。该空需要一个关系引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子，并指代先行词在从句中做主语。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：传统的炸鱼店会把你点的菜包在昨天的报纸里。该空需要一个形容词在句中作定语修饰名词fish fryer,提示词tradition为名词，其派生的形容词拼写为traditional。故填traditional。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在包装之前，他会问：“盐和醋吗 ”所给词wrap为动词意为“包裹，包装”在句中作介词before的宾语，应使用动名词形式，其动名词拼写为wrapping。故填wrapping。
【39题详解】
考查被动语态及情态动词用法。句意：这顿晚餐应该马上吃，用手指，沿着街道走，最好是在黑暗中，飘着细雨。所给词eat在句中作谓语，其主语supper与eat为被动关系，应使用被动语态，前面已使用了情态动词，所以助动词be应使用原形。故填be eaten。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：把它们倒到盘子里，用刀叉吃就行了。 作动词empty的宾语，应使用代词宾格形式。故填them。

When Emily was 16, she had a dream of becoming a professional singer, a dream that was as bright as the stars in the night sky. Emily’s parents, though supportive, often reminded her of the importance of her studies. This made Emily feel torn (为难) between her passion and her responsibilities
Each day, Emily trained herself for hours. She would sing in the mirror, imagining every audience was fully attracted by her singing. The sound of her voice filled the empty room, giving Emily a sense of purpose and fulfillment (成就感).
When she learned about the local singing competition, Emily felt a spark of excitement in her heart. She chose a song that reflected her emotional journey and practised it over and over again. The lyrics spoke to her heart, allowing her to relive (回味) moments of joy, heartbreak and growth.
Finally came the day of the competition. With butterflies in her stomach, Emily could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she walked onto the stage. As the music began, Emily closed her eyes and let her voice flow out. She could hear the audience gasp (倒吸气) as she hit the high notes, and she felt a sense of connection with them that she had never experienced before.

When the judges announced Emily as the winner, she felt a wave of joy washing over her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
As she sang, Emily’s emotions poured out. She felt the weight of years of practice and determination in every note. She thought about all the times when she had doubted herself and all the moments of pure bliss when she had forgotten about everything else.
When the judges announced Emily as the winner, she felt a wave of joy washing over her. She hugged her parents tightly, tears streaming down her face. They had always been there for her, supporting her and loving her unconditionally. Emily learned that following one’s passion is not always easy, but the reward is more than worth the struggle. She learned to cherish the moments and people who supported her along the way. Her story is one of hope and perseverance, a reminder to all teenagers to never give up on their dreams.
【解析】

As a boy, John Kerr wanted to be a fireman or a park ranger (公园管理员). Looking back on that childhood dream, he says, “This is exactly what I was longing for.”
Instead after graduation, he spent four decades at WGBH in Boston, one of the public broadcasting stations. He retired in 2005 at the age of 65 without any particular post-career goal in mind. After several aimless weeks, he decided to drive his camper to visit family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
During the trip, he stopped at the Yellowstone Park Foundation, which raises funds for Yellowstone, America’s first national park. As it happened, the foundation was hiring people to educate park guests on wolves. Later, Kerr signed up for the position as an intern (实习生) .
Kerr stood out in the intern crowd — most of them were college and even high school students. But, in a sense, he had been prepared for this since his youth. His outdoor adventures with his grandfather had given him a love to nature, and as an adult, he had helped out at the local fire department on medical calls.
From his internship, he moved up to ranger, educating park visitors, ensuring safe encounters between guests and animals, and responding to medical emergencies (紧急情况). He values his stewardship (管理工作) of what he describes as one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and appreciates the moments when he treats a visitor to an up-close look at one of the park’s wolves or bears through his telescope.
“These are rich and all-too-rare moments,” recalls Kerr. “I never forget them.”
5. Why did Kerr go to Wyoming
A. To find a job. B. To visit family.
C. To join an internship. D. To become a volunteer.
6. What can we learn about Kerr according to Paragraph 4
A. He suited the job quite well. B. He was born to love nature.
C. He put out the fire alone. D. He was the only adult intern.
7. What are the duties of Kerr as a park ranger
A. Helping visitors and feeding animals.
B. Training interns and raising money.
C. Handling emergencies and ensuring safety.
D. Putting out fires and repairing telescopes.
8. What is Ker’s attitude towards his stewardship
A. Worried. B. Ashamed. C. Positive. D. Regretful.
C
Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protet eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Considering how much time we spend on our phones, we may think such glasses are smart choices, right After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even macular degeneration. The glasses can cost SIS all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the information that companies share as they recommend these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun produces a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. However, the problem is blue light at night:it affects the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps adjust our living paces and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from an iPad at night to avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study found that people affected by sleep disorders fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses experience similar eye strain to those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses failed to prevent macular degeneration.
But Dr. Esparaz says, “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful. ”
9. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic. B. To offer an example.
C. To give people suggestions. D. To present the main idea.
10. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The sun. B. The melatonin. C. The device. D. The blue light.
11. Wearing blue-light-blocking glasses is useful when people .
A. watch movies in the cinema B. suffer from eyestrain seriously
C have sleep problems at night D. use iPad to work in the daytime
12. What can be the best title for this passage
A. A Way to Protect our Eyes B. A Solution to Sleep Disorders
C. Why Blue-light-blocking Glasses Important D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses, to Buy or not to Buy
第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡内 将相应的大写字母涂黑。其中有一项为多余选项。
It’s normal to wake up at night, especially as you age, but negative news can further activate your mind and make it hard for you to fall back asleep. Therefore, hope the following tips can help you have a deep sleep.
Test your pillow. ____13____. The National Sleep Foundation recommends replacing it every One to two years. A pillow past its prime can cause neck pain—and restless sleep.
Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. When people cut down on salt, their average toilet trips decreased from twice a night to once. ______14______
______15______. If you need to complain with your wife or husband, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to influence your sleep if you start them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which affects sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed with anger may make you impatient the next morning.
A Handle your troubles before dinner
B. Those who consumed more salt had a deeper sleep
C. If you bought your pillow in 2020, it’s already old
D. And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom

When Emily was 16, she had a dream of becoming a professional singer, a dream that was as bright as the stars in the night sky. Emily’s parents, though supportive, often reminded her of the importance of her studies. This made Emily feel torn (为难) between her passion and her responsibilities
Each day, Emily trained herself for hours. She would sing in the mirror, imagining every audience was fully attracted by her singing. The sound of her voice filled the empty room, giving Emily a sense of purpose and fulfillment (成就感).
When she learned about the local singing competition, Emily felt a spark of excitement in her heart. She chose a song that reflected her emotional journey and practised it over and over again. The lyrics spoke to her heart, allowing her to relive (回味) moments of joy, heartbreak and growth.
Finally came the day of the competition. With butterflies in her stomach, Emily could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she walked onto the stage. As the music began, Emily closed her eyes and let her voice flow out. She could hear the audience gasp (倒吸气) as she hit the high notes, and she felt a sense of connection with them that she had never experienced before.
