When Hurricane Ian hit Florida, Karen Lauder refused to leave her home because she was wrong about the intensity(强度) of the storm. Karen is 84 years old and depends on a wheelchair to get around because she is missing a leg. Her son, Johnny Lauder, tried repeatedly to get her to leave, but she refused.
Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another. They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently(猛烈地) outside, watching the water rising dangerously all around them. When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom, Johnny knew he had to take action.
First, Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of. Then, he jumped out of a window and began to swim. Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. He is obviously a strong swimmer, but the flood water was filled with dangerous materials. There was also a strong current (水流), and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s. As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies(自拍) to show his worried family that he was okay.
Johnny was racing against the clock. He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head. It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks. The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears!
“If it would’ve been 20 minutes later, she wouldn’t be here,” Johnny said.“She’s never been happier to see me.”
Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections(感染) she got in the water. The family have all lost everything they owned, including their houses, but they’re grateful just to be here.
4. Why did Karen decide to stay in her house when Hurricane Ian came
A. She had nowhere to go.
B. She was too old to move.
C. She thought the storm was not violent.
D. She lost her wheelchair and was unable to leave.
5. Why did Johnny take selfies along the way to Karen’s home
A. To record his swimming trip. B. To show off his swimming skills.
C. To warn other rescuers of danger. D. To report his safety to his family.
6. How did Johnny’s family keep in touch in the storm
A. By shouting. B. Over the phone.
C. Through e-mail. D. With other’s help.
7. How did Johnny feel when he heard Karen shouting
A. Curious. B. Frightened. C. Confused. D. Relieved.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】

Jace Tunnell, the founder of Nurdle I troll and Reserve Director at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute, is listening to the same question often.
“I hear every day, somebody says, ‘What is a nurdle ’” he said.
Tunnell explained nurdles are tiny balls of plastic that are typically used to make almost every plastic item we use, so they’re everywhere! He said nurdles are usually spilled (溢出) during transport from cargo ships or railroad cars. “These things would be out here for hundreds of years if we’re not picking them up,” Tunnell said while on a recent Nurdle Patrol cleanup along Galveston Bay.
Since 2018, Nurdle Patrol has grown to thousands of volunteers worldwide. Many people -volunteer with Nurdle Patrol and work for the Galveston Bay Foundation. Nurdle Patrol groups upload their findings to the nonprofit’s website map. It’s marked in colors to show where the highest concentration of nurdles is found.
“They look natural, and birds think that they’re food,” Tunnell said, “Birds, fish, sea turtles and other sea animals can eat nurdles and finally die from hunger because of a false sensation of fullness and lack of nutrition.”
I ended up finding 123 nurdles in 10 minutes. That’s high concentration,” Tunnell said about a recent cleanup. “I plan to take those to an elected official and say, ‘Look, these are what I found on our beaches here. We need to do something about this.’ So, it kind of puts in motion change that can happen.”
Nurdle Patrol has sent out hundreds of kits (工具包) globally, many to schools and volunteer organizations, with information about gathering nurdles and reporting the findings safely. Anyone can request a kit through their website.
8. What do we know about the nurdle
A. It is easily broken down. B. It is a small piece of plastic.
C. It was invented by Tunnell. D. It is mainly used to make ships.
9. What do Tunnell’s words in paragraph 5 mainly stress
A. The unique look of nurdles. B. The number of nurdles in the sea.
C. Nurdles’ harm to sea animals’ food. D. Nurdles’ impact on sea animals.
10. What does Tunnell want to do
A. Draw a map of nurdles’ concentration. B. Call the government’s attention to nurdles.
C. Organize more cleanups along the beaches. D. Share his findings on Nurdle Patrol’s website.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Group surveys the level of pollution in the sea B. Group takes action to reduce the use of plastics
C. Group tries to deal with pollutant harming wildlife D. Group looks for volunteers for its beach cleanups
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Nurdle I troll组织致力于清理海洋中的小塑料球，解释了其危害以及组织的发展情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Tunnell explained nurdles are tiny balls of plastic that are typically used to make almost every plastic item we use, so they’re everywhere!(Tunnell解释说，nurdle是一种微小的塑料球，通常用于制造我们使用的几乎所有塑料制品，所以它们无处不在)”可知，nurdle是塑料块。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““They look natural, and birds think that they’re food,” Tunnell said, “Birds, fish, sea turtles and other sea animals can eat nurdles and finally die from hunger because of a false sensation of fullness and lack of nutrition.”(“它们看起来很自然，鸟类认为它们是食物，”Tunnell说，“鸟类、鱼类、海龟和其他海洋动物吃了它们，最终会因为饱腹和缺乏营养的错觉而死于饥饿。”)”可推知，Tunnell在第5段主要强调了小塑料球对海洋动物的影响。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““I plan to take those to an elected official and say, ‘Look, these are what I found on our beaches here. We need to do something about this.’ So, it kind of puts in motion change that can happen.”(“我打算把这些拿给一位民选官员，说，‘看，这些是我在我们这里的海滩上发现的。我们得做点什么。’所以，这在某种程度上推动了可能发生的变化。”)”可知，Tunnell想唤起政府对小塑料球的注意。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Since 2018, Nurdle Patrol has grown to thousands of volunteers worldwide. Many people -volunteer with Nurdle Patrol and work for the Galveston Bay Foundation. Nurdle Patrol groups upload their findings to the nonprofit’s website map. It’s marked in colors to show where the highest concentration of nurdles is found.(自2018年以来，Nurdle Patrol已经发展到全球数千名志愿者。许多人在Nurdle巡逻队做志愿者，并为加尔维斯顿湾基金会工作。Nurdle Patrol小组将他们的发现上传到非营利组织的网站地图上。它用颜色标出了颗粒浓度最高的地方)”结合文章主要介绍了Nurdle I troll组织致力于清理海洋中的小塑料球，解释了其危害以及组织的发展情况。可知，C选项“一个组织试图处理危害野生动物的污染物”最符合文章标题。故选C。

There is a five-and-a-half-mile bike path sitting in the middle of an eight-lane highway(八车道公路), topped with a solar panel(太阳能板) that lights up the streets below in South Korea. But this is not an ordinary bike path. It started as an idea to produce clean energy while giving people a place to exercise at the same time. South Korea built this eco-friendly bicycle lane that connects the cities of Daejeon to Sejong in 2014.
The 13-foot-wide path set in the middle of a highway is unique in South Korea where most bicycle paths are built next to walkways. But what really makes the path stand out is its one-of-a-kind feature—a solar panel-lined roof. Several other city governments in South Korea have built bike roads with solar panels, but this particular road in Sejong remains the longest and the only one set in the middle of a highway.
With 7,502 solar panels fixed at intervals(间隔空间) of about 30 inches, the paneling covers 3 miles of the 5.5-mile cycling highway and is capable of producing an average of 2,200 MWh of eco-friendly electricity every year that powers many of the streetlights and electronic displays in Sejong. The Korea Western Power Co., Ltd. is in charge of checking and repairing the solar panels to keep up the power efficiency(效率).
“Solar panels in public equipment are part of a trend(趋势) in clean energy,” Kim Geun-ho, a researcher from the Green Energy Institute said. “At the beginning stage, solar power generation was mostly built in vast farmland and mountainous areas. It moved on to public equipment rooftops, and finally evolved to play the role of a shelter and power generator at the same time, in this case, a roof on top of a bike road.”
“This is the fastest bike road I can take from my home in Daejeon to my workplace in Sejong,” said Park Yoon-soo, who has been going to work every day using the solar panel bike road for the last two years. “I have always appreciated the solar panel roofs because they become good shade under strong sunlight, and a roof when it rains.”
12. For what purpose was the bike path built
A. To try out an idea. B. To get clean energy.
C. To solve traffic jams. D. To encourage less driving.
13. What makes the bike path different from other ones with solar panels
A. Its width. B. Its solar panels.
C. Its location. D. Its energy output.
14. What does the underlined word “evolved” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Survived. B. Happened. C. Waited. D. Developed.
15. What does Park Yoon-soo think of this bike path
A. It is convenient. B. It is energy-saving.
C. It is a good place to relax. D. It is money-saving high tech.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍韩国一条八车道高速公路中间的一条五英里半长的自行车道。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But this is not an ordinary bike path. It started as an idea to produce clean energy while giving people a place to exercise at the same time. (但这不是一条普通的自行车道。它最初是一个生产清洁能源的想法，同时给人们一个锻炼的地方。)”可知，车道的建立目的是为了获得清洁的能源。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The 13-foot-wide path set in the middle of a highway is unique in South Korea, where most bicycle paths are built next to walkways. (设置在高速公路中间的13英尺宽的小路在韩国是独一无二的，那里的大多数自行车道都建在人行道旁边。)”可知，这条自行车道与其他带太阳能电池板的自行车道不同点在于它的位置，它位于一条八车道高速公路的中间。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“At the beginning stage, solar power generation was mostly built in vast farmland and mountainous areas. It moved on to public equipment rooftops, and finally evolved to play the role of a shelter and power generator at the same time, in this case, a roof on top of a bike road. (初期，太阳能发电大多建在广阔的农田和山区。它转移到公共设备的屋顶上，最终evolved为同时扮演避难所和发电机的角色，在这种情况下，它是自行车道顶部的屋顶。)”可知，这里介绍太阳能发电的发展，所以evolved的意思应该是“演变，发展”，和选项D意思一致。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is the fastest bike road I can take from my home in Daejeon to my workplace in Sejong,” said Park Yoon-soo (Park Yoon-soo说：“这是我从大田的家到世宗的工作场所能走的最快的自行车道。”)”可知，Park Yoon-soo认为走这条自行车道上下班很方便。故选A。

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。
Ellie was busy tuning(为……调音)her guitar when her older brother, Chris, knocked on her door. “You ready to go ” he asked.
“Just a minute,” Ellie answered. She picked up her guitar, placed it in her case, and walked out.
Even though she was on her way to performing at her first concert in New York City, she could hardly feel any excitement. All that was on her mind was her best friend, Alice. Just 24 hours ago, she went to Santiago, Chile, as her mother wanted to do research at the university there. Ellie said goodbye to Alice and was very sad. They promised to stay in touch.
So as Ellie stepped on stage and arranged her fingers on the guitar strings, she didn’t notice the bright red lights that lit her and her bandmates. She hardly heard the cheers coming from her friends and family in the crowd. She also paid little attention to the flash of Chris’s camera as he took pictures of her band, Alphabet Soup. But as soon as Jordan, the drummer(鼓手), signaled the beginning of the first song with the clicks of his drumsticks, Elli e was pulled back to the present.
The first number was a piece that Alice taught her a year ago, when she finally mastered the basic jazz chords(和弦). The “F” chord took her a while to learn, as it required tricky finger placement. However, once she was able to add the chord to her repertoire(全部曲目), a new world of music opened to her. She chose to specialize in jazz under the influence of Chris’s love of it. That was what she often heard in the hallway while growing up.
Soon, it was time for the band to take a ten-minute break. As her bandmates left the stage. they are all satisfied with their performance. Jackson, the lead singer, approached Ellie. He’d noticed something was off about her. “Everything okay ” he asked.
“Yeah, don’t worry. I’m fine,” she assured him.
His eyes expressed his concern, but he didn’t have much time to talk to her. He figured it could wait until after the concert. Ellie was left alone.

Sitting on the seat, Ellie pulled her phone out of her pocket. To her surprise, she noticed a text message from Alice. “Wishing you the best of luck tonight! You better make me proud,” it read. She smiled at the screen. She was so happy to receive the message. She figured that Alice wouldn’t want her to be sad during her first performance in New York City. She felt ashamed for her performance just now. So she decided to try her best and perform well.
Ellie stepped back on stage with renewed energy. This time, she smiled at Chris’s camera and waved to the audience, getting more cheers from strangers, friends, and family. She joined in when Jackson sang the song, and he turned back to look at her, surprised and pleased. She performed so well that she herself couldn’t believe it. Ellie thought the next time Alice was in town, she would play a concert just like this one and make her proud.

When Hurricane Ian hit Florida, Karen Lauder refused to leave her home because she was wrong about the intensity(强度) of the storm. Karen is 84 years old and depends on a wheelchair to get around because she is missing a leg. Her son, Johnny Lauder, tried repeatedly to get her to leave, but she refused.
Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another. They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently(猛烈地) outside, watching the water rising dangerously all around them. When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom, Johnny knew he had to take action.
First, Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of. Then, he jumped out of a window and began to swim. Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. He is obviously a strong swimmer, but the flood water was filled with dangerous materials. There was also a strong current (水流), and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s. As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies(自拍) to show his worried family that he was okay.
Johnny was racing against the clock. He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head. It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks. The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears!
“If it would’ve been 20 minutes later, she wouldn’t be here,” Johnny said.“She’s never been happier to see me.”
Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections(感染) she got in the water. The family have all lost everything they owned, including their houses, but they’re grateful just to be here.

Jace Tunnell, the founder of Nurdle I troll and Reserve Director at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute, is listening to the same question often.
“I hear every day, somebody says, ‘What is a nurdle ’” he said.
Tunnell explained nurdles are tiny balls of plastic that are typically used to make almost every plastic item we use, so they’re everywhere! He said nurdles are usually spilled (溢出) during transport from cargo ships or railroad cars. “These things would be out here for hundreds of years if we’re not picking them up,” Tunnell said while on a recent Nurdle Patrol cleanup along Galveston Bay.
Since 2018, Nurdle Patrol has grown to thousands of volunteers worldwide. Many people -volunteer with Nurdle Patrol and work for the Galveston Bay Foundation. Nurdle Patrol groups upload their findings to the nonprofit’s website map. It’s marked in colors to show where the highest concentration of nurdles is found.
“They look natural, and birds think that they’re food,” Tunnell said, “Birds, fish, sea turtles and other sea animals can eat nurdles and finally die from hunger because of a false sensation of fullness and lack of nutrition.”
I ended up finding 123 nurdles in 10 minutes. That’s high concentration,” Tunnell said about a recent cleanup. “I plan to take those to an elected official and say, ‘Look, these are what I found on our beaches here. We need to do something about this.’ So, it kind of puts in motion change that can happen.”
Nurdle Patrol has sent out hundreds of kits (工具包) globally, many to schools and volunteer organizations, with information about gathering nurdles and reporting the findings safely. Anyone can request a kit through their website.
8. What do we know about the nurdle
A. It is easily broken down. B. It is a small piece of plastic.
C. It was invented by Tunnell. D. It is mainly used to make ships.
9. What do Tunnell’s words in paragraph 5 mainly stress
A. The unique look of nurdles. B. The number of nurdles in the sea.
C. Nurdles’ harm to sea animals’ food. D. Nurdles’ impact on sea animals.
10. What does Tunnell want to do
A. Draw a map of nurdles’ concentration. B. Call the government’s attention to nurdles.
C. Organize more cleanups along the beaches. D. Share his findings on Nurdle Patrol’s website.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Group surveys the level of pollution in the sea B. Group takes action to reduce the use of plastics
C. Group tries to deal with pollutant harming wildlife D. Group looks for volunteers for its beach cleanups
D
There is a five-and-a-half-mile bike path sitting in the middle of an eight-lane highway(八车道公路), topped with a solar panel(太阳能板) that lights up the streets below in South Korea. But this is not an ordinary bike path. It started as an idea to produce clean energy while giving people a place to exercise at the same time. South Korea built this eco-friendly bicycle lane that connects the cities of Daejeon to Sejong in 2014.
The 13-foot-wide path set in the middle of a highway is unique in South Korea, where most bicycle paths are built next to walkways. But what really makes the path stand out is its one-of-a-kind feature—a solar panel-lined roof. Several other city governments in South Korea have built bike roads with solar panels, but this particular road in Sejong remains the longest and the only one set in the middle of a highway.
With 7,502 solar panels fixed at intervals(间隔空间) of about 30 inches, the paneling covers 3 miles of the 5.5-mile cycling highway and is capable of producing an average of 2,200 MWh of eco-friendly electricity every year that powers many of the streetlights and electronic displays in Sejong. The Korea Western Power Co., Ltd. is in charge of checking and repairing the solar panels to keep up the power efficiency(效率).
“Solar panels in public equipment are part of a trend(趋势) in clean energy,” Kim Geun-ho, a researcher from the Green Energy Institute said. “At the beginning stage, solar power generation was mostly built in vast farmland and mountainous areas. It moved on to public equipment rooftops, and finally evolved to play the role of a shelter and power generator at the same time, in this case, a roof on top of a bike road.”
“This is the fastest bike road I can take from my home in Daejeon to my workplace in Sejong,” said Park Yoon-soo, who has been going to work every day using the solar panel bike road for the last two years. “I have always appreciated the solar panel roofs because they become good shade under strong sunlight, and a roof when it rains.”
12. For what purpose was the bike path built
A. To try out an idea. B. To get clean energy.
C To solve traffic jams. D. To encourage less driving.
13. What makes the bike path different from other ones with solar panels
A. Its width. B. Its solar panels.

Being resilient isn’t about avoiding misfortune but rather how we respond to it. Resilience means “doing well in the face of risk or misfortune,” says Suniya Luthar, co-founder of Authentic Connections, a company that helps teach resilience and well-being.

Find a sense of purpose
___19___, Ungar says. Your sense of purpose doesn’t have to come from school or work; it can also come from hobbies or volunteer projects, like growing a backyard vegetable garden or cleaning up litter in a neighborhood park.

Ellie was busy tuning(为……调音)her guitar when her older brother, Chris, knocked on her door. “You ready to go ” he asked.
“Just a minute,” Ellie answered. She picked up her guitar, placed it in her case, and walked out.
Even though she was on her way to performing at her first concert in New York City, she could hardly feel any excitement. All that was on her mind was her best friend, Alice. Just 24 hours ago, she went to Santiago, Chile, as her mother wanted to do research at the university there. Ellie said goodbye to Alice and was very sad. They promised to stay in touch.
So as Ellie stepped on stage and arranged her fingers on the guitar strings, she didn’t notice the bright red lights that lit her and her bandmates. She hardly heard the cheers coming from her friends and family in the crowd. She also paid little attention to the flash of Chris’s camera as he took pictures of her band, Alphabet Soup. But as soon as Jordan, the drummer(鼓手), signaled the beginning of the first song with the clicks of his drumsticks, Elli e was pulled back to the present.
The first number was a piece that Alice taught her a year ago, when she finally mastered the basic jazz chords(和弦). The “F” chord took her a while to learn, as it required tricky finger placement. However, once she was able to add the chord to her repertoire(全部曲目), a new world of music opened to her. She chose to specialize in jazz under the influence of Chris’s love of it. That was what she often heard in the hallway while growing up.
Soon, it was time for the band to take a ten-minute break. As her bandmates left the stage. they are all satisfied with their performance. Jackson, the lead singer, approached Ellie. He’d noticed something was off about her. “Everything okay ” he asked.
“Yeah, don’t worry. I’m fine,” she assured him.
His eyes expressed his concern, but he didn’t have much time to talk to her. He figured it could wait until after the concert. Ellie was left alone.
