【答案】
Person of the Year
I would like to nominate my friend Emily as the Person of the Year. She is a selfless individual who has dedicated countless hours to volunteering in our community.
Despite her busy schedule, Emily always finds time to help others. One particular story that stands out is Emily’s involvement in a local food drive. Not only did she help gather donations, but she also took the initiative to deliver the collected food to families in need. Her dedication and determination were evident as she tirelessly spread kindness and supported those facing hardships.
I recommend Emily for this prestigious title because of her unwavering commitment to helping others. She is a role model for us and serves as a reminder that a single individual can make a significant difference.

【答案】参考范文
As I left him, he said, “Thank you. By the way, my name’s Dr. Holstrom.” The name ringing in my mind, I froze on the spot. Jeff Holstrom! Could this be the cold, stern father who demanded his son attend college or never enter his home again Curiosity and doubt bubbling up, I turned around to get a glimpse of Dr. Holstrom, attempting to find some facial resemblances. Beaming and scanning, Dr. Holstrom seemed to be looking for his daughter. Speeches given, the dean began to read the names of the graduates, inviting them onto the stage one by one to receive their diplomas.
Jeff was the last person to cross the stage. Having received his diploma, he turned toward the audience, radiant with joy. Suddenly, a lone figure popped into his eyes — Dr. Holstrom. I was not sure how Jeff spotted him in the crowd, but I could tell their eyes met. Dr. Holstrom, gazing at Jeff thoughtfully for a few seconds, opened his arms as if to embrace the air around him. For a moment time seemed to stand still. Jeff came down, smiling with tears in eyes. “My father is here,” he whispered to me, “I think I’m going home.”
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jeff告诉作者很多关于他的家庭的事情，Jeff爱好滑雪，高中毕业时没有按照父亲的意愿上大学，而是去了滑雪巡逻队工作，此后两人不再联系，后来Jeff回到家乡上大学，他依然请求家人瞒着父亲，毕业典礼那天作者遇到一个满脸困惑的男人，作者帮他找了一个座位。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当我离开他时，他说：‘谢谢你。顺便说一下，我是Holstrom医生。’”可知，第一段可描写作者意识到他就是Jeff的父亲以及毕业生上台接受毕业证书。
②由第二段首句内容“Jeff是最后一个穿过舞台的人。”可知，第二段可描写Jeff拿到毕业证书后看到了父亲，父亲做出拥抱的动作，Jeff告诉作者自己想回家了。
2.续写线索：僵住——意识到他的身份——毕业生上台接受毕业证书——Jeff看到父亲——父亲做出拥抱的动作——Jeff流泪说要回家

It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2022 when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station.On the platform,two men were fighting bitterly.Then the unthinkable happened: the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back. Suddenly, he started convulsing ( 抽搐) unnaturally. He had fallen on the third rail, the conduit ( 导线 管 ) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains. The aggressor (挑衅者) leaped backward, bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared.
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch. He sat at the edge of the platform and eased himself down. He took a few quick bounds and approached the victim(受害者).The guy looked dead,his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed (搏动). Gathering up his courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and forearm and, braving the shock, pulled with all his strength. The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail, coming to rest on the gravel on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing, but irregularly. Something wasn’t right. “Give him chest compressions
( 按 压 )!” yelled a woman. Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing. Then he heard a sudden noise behind him — medical workers and firefighters had arrived. Perry let the professionals take over.His heart still racing from the electric shocks,he climbed back up onto the platform, grabbed his things and headed home.
The evening news reported the incident. After a friend outed him to the media, Perry became the toast of Chicago. Perry was then recruited by the Chicago Fire Department and is now training to be an emergency medical technician.
24. What made the rescue of the victim particularly difficult
A. The man had lost his consciousness(意识).
B. The victim lay injured on top of a track.
C. The rescuer was at risk of an electric shock.
D. The electricity powering trains was hard to cut off.
25. What can be inferred about Perry according to paragraphs 3—4
A. He had received professional first aid training.
B. The local newspaper interviewed him on the spot.
C. His chest compressions played a key role in saving life.
D. His heart beat fast because of nervousness and tiredness.

When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep ，which do you choose？Believe it or not ，that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings ，according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing （打盹），a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.
As to how the snooze button(贪睡按钮) will affect your day ，scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever ，creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life ，or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep ，" researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you 'snoozing' and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero."
According to some sleep experts ，when hitting the snooze button ，you are in fact confusing your body and mind ，and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up，so，when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time，you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won't know what it wants ， resulting in a sort of half awaken state.
If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock，the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.
28. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2？
A. People do it just for fun. B. It is a common practice.
C. People take it seriously. D. It is a bit childish.
29. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button？
A. It is meaningful in the long term. B. It makes people become lazy.
C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction. D. It affects our body and mind.
30. What's the author's suggestion on getting the best out of alarms？
A. Forming a good sleep habit. B. Trying to relax ourselves.
C. Making use of willpower. D. Using an extra alarm.
31. What is the best title for the text？
______
A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning. B. The snooze button and people's character.
C. Should you rely on the snooze button？ D. How to avoid the light sleep mode？
D
The creators of Mission Io Mars AR meant it to be educational, with plenty of up-to-the-minute facts and figures about Mars exploration. But don’t let that put you off. It’s also a lot of fun. And it shows how far phone-based AR has progressed in the four and a half years since Pokemon Go, a 2016 AR mobile game, sent millions of people out into the streets searching for imaginary creatures.
The free app, which comes out in time for next week’s landing of the Perseverance rover (探测 器) on Mars, is nearly identical in design to the Smithsonian Channel’s Apollo’s Moon Shot released for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in 2019. In that one, you could use your phone to send a virtual Saturn V rocket into space, and learn about the Apollo astronauts and their machines through more than a dozen interactive experiences. Take some photos on the moon, suited up in the Apollo 11 spacesuit, and share with friends on social media.
Simple AR has taken off in shopping apps and social media in recent years. But Mission to Mars AR shows that the technology is capable of much more than just adding rabbit ears or cool sunglasses to your selfies (自拍). The app offers seven experiences, starting with an overview of Martian geography. Tun the globe in front of you to inspect the planer’s frozen polar caps and vast valleys.
The experiences in Mission to Mars AR add a bit more challenge, but are easy to master after a couple of tries. Guide Perseverance through its “seven minutes of terror” -- NASA’s now semi-official term fora Mars landing. The “Mission to Mars” module offers the most interaction. You guide the rover from rock to rock, using a laser to analyze their contents while being careful not to crash or get stuck in the sand. You can even fly a small helicopter on Perseverance, which is sure to be one of the real mission’s highlights.
Just as NASA rovers have advanced from tiny Sojourner in the 1990s to Perseverance, we’ve come a long way from just downloading Mars photos for our desktop wallpaper.
32. What does the underlined part “put you off” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Cheat you. B. Confuse you. C. Delay you. D. Discourage you.
33. What can players do with Apollo’s Moon Shot
A. Launch a virtual Saturn V rocket.
B. Help Perseverance land on Mars safely.
C. Take photos with the Apollo astronauts.
D. Dress themselves in the latest spacesuits.
34. Why does the author mention specifics in paragraph 3
A. To stress(强调) their popularity.
B. To reveal(揭示) AR’s advancement.
C.To encourage people to use social media.
D. To doubt the value of Mission to Mars AR.
35. What is the text mainly about
A cool way to learn about Mars.
B.Challenges for space exploration.
C. Some basic facts about NASA rovers.
D A new AR app designed for astronauts.

第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分， 满分 12.5 分)
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Learn from your Regrets
Regret’s benefits don’t come to us by chance. 36 . Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking carefully about your past missteps.
Kill the ghost.
People often say their regrets keep coming to their mind. This suggests that regret is like a ghost. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets. Write down why each one still bothers you and its bad effects. 37 .
Forgive yourself.
38 , but sometimes you just can’t stop blaming yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and are constantly calculating today how much money you would be making if you had pressed on to graduation. Now is the time to declare: “I will not waste my life reliving a decision that can’t be changed.”
Collect your diploma(文凭).
Regret is like a school run by human nature. If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities. 39 . Next, list all the ways that you can invest in your own skills and improvement right now — and get started.
Regrets may hurt. 40 , while trying to live without them is a lost opportunity to grow. Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains. To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including the mistakes, and moving forward.
A. After you make a mistake, life moves on
B. Filling your mind with them is painful
C. The ghost certainly doesn’t rule a person’s life
D. We have to seek them out on purpose to improve ourselves
E. You will find that the list is a lot less frightening than a ghost
F. You choose to blame yourself for life for a poor decision you made in the past
G. If you let regret teach, you can note how you want to change your behavior

第二节(满分 25 分)
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。
Jeff and I had many conversations during the year, but I will always remember the time he told me about his family. His father, a successful physician, was cold and strict in Jeffs words. His father had even paved the way for Jeff to attend the same college from which he had graduated.
Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company — without a degree. His passion was skiing. When he graduated from high school, he decided to decline his father’s offer and, instead, to work with a ski patrol (滑雪巡逻队). With pain in his eyes, Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort.
Hearing Jeffs decision, his father looked off into the distance. Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff’s mind: “You lazy kid. No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college. I should have known you’d never amount to anything!” The two had not spoken since that conversation.
Later, he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college. He was doing this for himself, not for his father. He said it over and over again. Jeff’s sister had always remained supportive of Jeffs decisions. She stayed in contact with their father, but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with him.
The day when the graduation ceremony came, I walked around talking to people before it started. I noticed a man with a confused expression.
“Excuse me,” he said as he politely approached me. “What is happening here today ”
“It’s graduation day,” I replied, smiling. “Well, that’s odd,” he said, “my daughter asked me to meet her at this address.” His eyes sparkled and he smiled. “Maybe she completed her associate’s degree and wanted to surprise me!”
I helped him find a seat.
