Spending roughly a decade preparing for her 2023 book Alive: Like Light and Salt, writer Liao Zhi has taken a creative journey with her memories of surviving the disastrous Wenchuan earthquake. The then 23-year-old dance teacher was rescued from a collapsed building, but suffered the loss of her legs and her child.
Selected from Liao’s diary entries, the six-chapter book touches upon topics like “finding one’s true self” and “relationships”, revealing how the writer dealt with pain to set career goals and find the courage to become a parent once again.
The writer said her desire for life seemed to have been strengthened by the near-death experience and that may be why she took only less than a year to get back on track again. Swimming, running marathon and taking part in charity dance performances were only a part of Liao’s daily agenda that helped her see the light again.
Alive: Like Light and Salt is not all about dealing with difficulties. Liao has devoted several chapters to topics like “becoming a communication expert in close relationships” and sharing her thoughts on love.
Liao met Charles Wang, a prosthesis(假肢) engineer, when she was getting her new artificial legs. Although she was hesitant about getting remarried, Wang assured her that she was the one, even telling his parents that “I’ll never again meet such a good girl.”
“Her life-loving nature, her health y mind-set toward her disability and also her willingness to speak up for people with the same experiences as herself, such things let me see a different side of life. I’ve been deeply touched by her,” said Liao’s mother-in-law.
Liao set up the Home of Chenxing, a rehabilitation(康复) studio in Chongqing for disabled people in 2019, and has now helped over 100 people walk again with artificial limbs(肢). She’s also a leader of a charity group called “Seeing and Change”. “Society needs to be educated to see this particular group of people. We represent a part of society’s value,” Liao noted.
24. What do we know about the book Alive: Like Light and Salt
A. It’s mainly intended for earthquake survivors. B. It’s inspired by her husband encouragement.
C. It’s focused on ways to handle difficulties. D. It’s based on the author’s life experiences.
25. How did the busy life affect Liao Zhi after the earthquake
A. It helped her see the hope of life. B. It pushed her to start a studio.
C. It urged her to write many books. D. It enabled her to walk again.
26. Why are Liao’s mother-in-law’s words mentioned
A. To introduce Liao’s achievements. B. To confirm Liao’s good qualities.
C. To think highly of Liao’s marriage. D. To ask people to experience life.
27. What can be learned from the last paragraph

B. The disabled create more social values.
C. Liao is devoted to helping the physically disabled.
D Society owes an apology to the particular group.

“Have a dream. Don’t be afraid to want something.” That’s the advice from Florence Bergeron, associate director of knowledge mobilization (动员) for the Students Commission of Canada. The group organized the country’s annual “Take Our Kids to Work Day” initiative on November 1.
Across Canada, ninth-grade students had the chance to visit the workplace of a parent, relative or friend. Bergeron said over 450,000 people participated this year.
The initiative began in 1994. “The principle was to bring their own children into the workplace so they could see what their parents were doing and prepare for taking on that same role,” Bergeron explained. The purpose of the day has changed over the years, as many kids now follow careers different from their parents’.
According to Dorota Peacock, who is the district coordinator for career education in the Surrey School District in British Columbia, the event is beneficial in various ways. “It’s valuable for exposing students to what people do in the adult workforce that they normally wouldn’t see,” Peacock said. “They get to ask questions and decide what’s interesting.”
Peacock added that students also learned what they were loath to do, which was just as valuable. That was the case for three ninth graders from Ecole Salish Secondary School in Surrey. Mia Kim, Rithi Murugaselvam, and Eljie Salimbagat said that they enjoyed visiting their parents’ workplaces, but realized that they, themselves, would likely follow different paths. Rithi,14, who visited a day care center where her mother worked, said that “much patience is required for working with kids.”
All three students agreed that learning to socialize is essential no matter what career path you follow. “I learned that for a lot of jobs, you needed to learn how to communicate with others to be successful,” said Mia, 13.
Peacock hoped that the event inspired Canada’s ninth graders to have a deeper appreciation for their parents. “They are smart, productive people, and not just people who come home and help with homework and make meals,” Peacock said. “They’re an actual person in the world doing really cool things.”
28. What was the purpose of the initiative
A. To expose children to the busy life. B. To prepare students for their career options.
C. To improve parent-child relationships. D. To educate children on possible changes.
29. What does the underlined word “loath” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Unwilling. B. Nervous. C. Ready. D. Eager.
30. Which of the following is a must in all careers according to the three students
A. The ability to adapt. B. The adventurous spirit.
C The sense of success. D. The communication skill.
31. What does Peacock probably want to say in the last paragraph
A. Family count above all else. B. Parents’ work is much more meaningful.
C. Children should admire their parents. D. Children lack appreciation for housework.
D
Only around a couple dozen people have been to the deepest part of the ocean floor, a place known as Challenger Deep. One of them is marine geographer Dawn Wright, a chief scientist of the Environmental Systems Rescarch Institute. She’s also part of a global race to map the entirety of the world’s oceans by 2030.
Challenger Deep is about 11,000 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. In July 2022, Wright and pilot and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo sank in a submersible (潜水器). Once the pair sank about 800 meters, they lost sunlight and saw worms, jellyfish and anglerfish that could create their own light. Wright and Vescovo were focused on testing a special mapping device, thus making a map.
Mapping the bottom of the ocean is for many things. For instance, installing (安装) underwater cables stretching between continents, which account for the vast majority of our Internet traffic, requires a map of the seafloor, and offshore wind farm developers also need to know the composition of the seafloor to fix turbines (涡轮机).
Historically, satellite data has been critical to mapping the ocean, but Wright says these maps are too unclear to see fine details. What is the solution It’s using sonar mapping, meaning an instrument sends pulses of sound from the ocean surface down toward the seafloor and waits for it to come back up. Based on the amount of time it takes for the sound to return and factors like temperature and salt content, scientists can get a specific depth.
Only about 25% of the world’s seafloor is currently mapped in detail, but an initiative called Seabed 2030 aims to get to 100% in just over six years. To complete the picture, ocean mappers are expecting industries to fill in some of the gaps. “The hope is that we can very quickly get to 40% if we can get a lot of these companies to release their data and to make it public,” says Wright.
32. Why did Wright and Vescovo go to Challenger Deep
A. To study ocean creatures. B. To map the seafloor.
C. To test the submersible. D. To enjoy themselves.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The benefits of mapping the seafloor.
B. The need to build offshore wind farms.
C. The way the Internet traffic works.
D. The similarities among continents.
34. What does Wright probably suggest companies do in the last paragraph
A. Collect more information. B. Learn to use sonar mapping.
C. Map 40% of the world’s seafloor. D. Share their data with ocean mappers.
35. What could be the best title for the text
A. Seafloor Mapping Is Now a Hot Topic in Science
B. Scientists Cooperate to Map the Entire Seafloor
C. Mapping the Seafloor Is Challenging But Essential
D. The Entire Seafloor Will Be Mapped Successfully Soon

67. 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。
I grew up in New York City. Over the years, my family have explored many notable landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. However, the one we never attended was the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. My father worked as a baker, so purchasing tickets for six of us was considered a too high expense. How I wish I could see the show! I was always attracted by the long line of Rockettes that would dance across our television screen, so I decided I’d see the iconic show in person one day.
Then I found myself at the age of twenty-eight heading to Radio City to buy tickets to the show on Christmas day. My husband Jay was driving the car. His sister and I were sitting in the back seat. I prayed to God, just as I always did, that everything would go well.
Our plan was to park the car and head directly to the box office. After parking our car, we enjoyed the walk to Radio City. By the time we got there, there were long lines and people everywhere.
I went to wait in one of those long lines. I saw people walking away disappointed in front of me, but I told myself that it was probably too expensive or the show was at the wrong time to fit in with their plans. Finally, I reached the cashier. “Good morning,” I greeted her cheerfully. “I’d like to buy three tickets for the next show.”
“I don’t even need to look. The last seven people asked me the same thing. They’re sold out,” she responded.
“OK, so how about tonight’s show ” I said.
“Um…girl, they’re sold out for this day, this week and this month. I might be able to get you in the middle of January,” she replied.
I was shocked. It was worse than I could have imagined. I stood alone in the building, not knowing what to do. I even wanted to try from the scalpers (票贩子).
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

At that moment, a man approached me, asking me, “Are you looking for tickets ”

Only around a couple dozen people have been to the deepest part of the ocean floor, a place known as Challenger Deep. One of them is marine geographer Dawn Wright, a chief scientist of the Environmental Systems Rescarch Institute. She’s also part of a global race to map the entirety of the world’s oceans by 2030.
Challenger Deep is about 11,000 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. In July 2022, Wright and pilot and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo sank in a submersible (潜水器). Once the pair sank about 800 meters, they lost sunlight and saw worms, jellyfish and anglerfish that could create their own light. Wright and Vescovo were focused on testing a special mapping device, thus making a map.
Mapping the bottom of the ocean is for many things. For instance, installing (安装) underwater cables stretching between continents, which account for the vast majority of our Internet traffic, requires a map of the seafloor, and offshore wind farm developers also need to know the composition of the seafloor to fix turbines (涡轮机).
Historically, satellite data has been critical to mapping the ocean, but Wright says these maps are too unclear to see fine details. What is the solution It’s using sonar mapping, meaning an instrument sends pulses of sound from the ocean surface down toward the seafloor and waits for it to come back up. Based on the amount of time it takes for the sound to return and factors like temperature and salt content, scientists can get a specific depth.
Only about 25% of the world’s seafloor is currently mapped in detail, but an initiative called Seabed 2030 aims to get to 100% in just over six years. To complete the picture, ocean mappers are expecting industries to fill in some of the gaps. “The hope is that we can very quickly get to 40% if we can get a lot of these companies to release their data and to make it public,” says Wright.
32. Why did Wright and Vescovo go to Challenger Deep
A. To study ocean creatures. B. To map the seafloor.
C. To test the submersible. D. To enjoy themselves.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A The benefits of mapping the seafloor.
B. The need to build offshore wind farms.
C. The way the Internet traffic works.
D. The similarities among continents.
34. What does Wright probably suggest companies do in the last paragraph
A. Collect more information. B. Learn to use sonar mapping.
C. Map 40% of the world’s seafloor. D. Share their data with ocean mappers.
35. What could be the best title for the text
A. Seafloor Mapping Is Now a Hot Topic in Science
B. Scientists Cooperate to Map the Entire Seafloor
C. Mapping the Seafloor Is Challenging But Essential
D. The Entire Seafloor Will Be Mapped Successfully Soon
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是绘制海底地图会给人们带来一定的好处，但绘制整个海底地图是艰巨的，它需要公司与海底地图绘制者合作。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Wright and Vescovo were focused on testing a special mapping device, thus making a map.(赖特和维斯科沃专注于测试一种特殊的测绘设备，从而制作了一张地图)”可知，Wright和Vescovo潜入Challenger Deep是为了绘制海底地图。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Mapping the bottom of the ocean is for many things. For instance, installing (安装) underwater cables stretching between continents, which account for the vast majority of our Internet traffic, requires a map of the seafloor, and offshore wind farm developers also need to know the composition of the seafloor to fix turbines (涡轮机).(绘制海底地图有很多用途。例如，安装横跨大陆的海底电缆（占我们互联网流量的绝大部分）需要一张海底地图，而海上风力发电场的开发商也需要知道海底的构成来安装涡轮机)”可知，第三段主要讲述的是绘制海底地图的好处。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The hope is that we can very quickly get to 40% if we can get a lot of these companies to release their data and to make it public,” says Wright.(Wright说：“如果我们能让很多这样的公司发布他们的数据并将其公之于众，我们希望能很快达到40%。”)”可推断，Wright可能建议公司把他们的数据分享给海洋地图绘制者。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Challenger Deep is about 11,000 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. In July 2022, Wright and pilot and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo sank in a submersible (潜水器).(Challenger Deep位于太平洋表面以下约11000米。2022年7月，Wright和飞行员兼海洋探险家Victor Vescovo乘坐潜水器沉没)”和第三段“Mapping the bottom of the ocean is for many things.(绘制海底地图有很多用途)”可知，绘制海底地图会给人们带来一定的好处，但绘制整个海底地图是艰巨的，它需要公司与海底地图绘制者合作，因此本文最好的题目是C选项“Mapping the Seafloor Is Challenging But Essential(绘制海底地图很有挑战性，但也很重要)”。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
I grew up in New York City. Over the years, my family have explored many notable landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. However, the one we never attended was the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. My father worked as a baker, so purchasing tickets for six of us was considered a too high expense. How I wish I could see the show! I was always attracted by the long line of Rockettes that would dance across our television screen, so I decided I’d see the iconic show in person one day.
Then I found myself at the age of twenty-eight heading to Radio City to buy tickets to the show on Christmas day. My husband Jay was driving the car. His sister and I were sitting in the back seat. I prayed to God, just as I always did, that everything would go well.
Our plan was to park the car and head directly to the box office. After parking our car, we enjoyed the walk to Radio City. By the time we got there, there were long lines and people everywhere.
I went to wait in one of those long lines. I saw people walking away disappointed in front of me, but I told myself that it was probably too expensive or the show was at the wrong time to fit in with their plans. Finally, I reached the cashier. “Good morning,” I greeted her cheerfully. “I’d like to buy three tickets for the next show.”
“I don’t even need to look. The last seven people asked me the same thing. They’re sold out,” she responded.
“OK, so how about tonight’s show ” I said.
“Um…girl, they’re sold out for this day, this week and this month. I might be able to get you in the middle of January,” she replied.
I was shocked. It was worse than I could have imagined. I stood alone in the building, not knowing what to do. I even wanted to try from the scalpers (票贩子).
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that moment, a man approached me, asking me, “Are you looking for tickets ”

【答案】At that moment, a man approached me, asking me, “Are you looking for tickets ” With his words, he extended a slip of paper to me, adding. “Here, take this. I can no longer use it.” “Yes!”I answered enthusiastically. Then, I added, “And how much are they ” I reached for the paper while also watching to make sure I was not the victim of a cheat. “This will work. No charge. It’s meant for you,” he assured me. I couldn’t believe my ears. As soon as I grasped the paper, he disappeared into the crowd.
I looked down at the paper, wondering why he gave me the tickets for free. I felt confused about what he did. “Why didn’t he use it That’s worth hundreds of dollars.” I thought to myself. I told what had happened to my husband and his sister, who also couldn’t understand. Anyway, we all got in for free. We saw the show that day. Maybe my prayers were heard by God or maybe it was a special Christmas gift. I felt touched and grateful to the stranger. He was my angel and helped me realize the dream that had lived in my heart for many years.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇读后续写，文章讲述了作者从小就想去现场观看圣诞狂欢节，但是由于小时候家庭原因一直没有实现。作者成年后，和自己的家人踏上了去往圣诞狂欢节的路程，到了现场却发现没有票了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句“正在那时，一个人悄悄地靠近了我，并开口询问是不是想要门票”可知，作者不会在售票大厅白白站着，有人愿意来帮助她，很可能是这个人愿意把自己的票送给作者。
②由第二段首句“我低头看着票，心里想为什么他会把票送给我”可知，这个人果然把票送给了作者，但是作者需要一个理由。可能是这个人心地善良，可能是他多买了一张票，也可能是上天给作者的补偿，只要考生言之有理即可。
