B(字数331)
The photographs that Scilla took as a 16-year-old girl on the streets of London in 1955 stayed largely in her album (相册) over the years. Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.
Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories.
Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.
Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.
Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building—now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.”
What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year
He taught her how to use a camera.
He took her to visit London streets.
C. He found a new way to treat her disease.
D. He recreated photos of London she had taken.
What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla
It inspired her to take photos. B. It made her think of her teenage days.
C. It encouraged her to travel across London. D. It raised her confidence to fight off illness.
What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean
Troubled. B. Interested. C. Experienced. D. Disappointed.
What is the best title of this passage
A. A teenager sensed the great changes of London.
B. An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease.
C. A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun.
D. A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory.
C(字数333)
My kitchen may be the best kitchen on the planet. That is because when I look out of its window, I can see the west side of Grandeur Peak. Grandeur Peak is one of the most attractive mountains in the central Wasatch, with its animals, trees, morning clouds, evening sunset, and the mountain’s paragliders (滑翔伞运动员).
The number of paragliders flying above Grandeur Peak has grown over the past 15 years, so much so that they have become part of the mountain. But during the past year they have largely disappeared. Some paragliders told me that the wind became too strong to fly in. The wind is too strong! Is this another character of our changing climate (气候) Will paragliding be a sport affected by a warming planet Utah has been much windier in the past few years. For me, a scientist who studies living things, it is easy to believe that our future will be windier. This year it’s getting super hot, and the planet is warming faster than scientists expected. I can’t help but worry that the future of paragliding in Utah is not bright.
I’m writing to the brave people who fly from Grandeur Peak with beautiful wings. I want you to join Clean The Darn Air, a group that’ s working hard to fight climate change and air pollution—I’m part of it too. We are introducing a measure, which aims to remove the state sales tax (税) on grocery store food and put a carbon tax on fossil fuels (化石燃料) in its place: gas, electricity produced from fossil fuels, and natural gas. The goal isn’t to make taxes higher. The idea is to encourage everyone to reduce their use of fossil fuels. So, paragliders, join us. Now is the time to take care of our planet. If we succeed, then Utah can be an example to others in fighting climate change.
28. Why does the author mention his kitchen
A. To share his love of cooking dishes.
B. To bring back his memories of paragliding.
C. To introduce Grandeur Peak’s paragliding.
D.To describe his adventures around Grandeur Peak.
29. What happened in the past year
A. The author saw less paragliding. B. Few people visited Grandeur Peak.
C. Air pollution became serious in Utah. D. Strong winds stopped people going outside.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of paragliding in Utah
A. Uncaring. B. Supportive. C. Positive. D. Worried.
31. What did the author call on paragliders to do
A. Buy those foods that are taxed less.
B. Reduce flying with wings in Grandeur Peak.
C. Join him to support a program about taxing.
D. Join a group to improve their paragliding skills.
D(字数367)
Hang your tongue out of your mouth while your eyes look upwards. Breathe loudly and use your hands to pull your head in every way. This is yoga (瑜伽) for your face.
Fumiko Takatsu, creator of the Face Yoga Method, has written six books on face yoga and has been practicing facial exercises for about 15 years. Takatsu, 50, said she came up with the idea of facial exercises after a car accident when she was 35 years old, which left her face out of its proper position. Around the same time, Takatsu said she began to notice signs of aging, but gave up using creams and beauty treatments after they became too expensive.
Koko Hayashi, 39, a face yoga instructor in Los Angeles, said she first heard of face yoga by discovering Takatsu’s work. Hayashi said she had a chin implant (下巴植入体) when she was 27 years old, but took it out because it misshaped her face. “That’s why I’m so interested in more natural beauty instead of plastic surgery (整形手术), ” Hayashi said. Like others who practice facial exercises, Hayashi believes it can fix signs of aging and help reduce wrinkles (皱纹).
The question that often pops up when someone mentions face yoga is, “Does it actually work ” A study out of Northwestern University found that the exercises may help middle-aged women.
“This is a pilot study that suggests that there might be some factors of face exercise that can be helpful to at least certain patients in improving certain signs of aging,” said Dr. Murad Alam from Northwestern University.” But we need more studies to better understand exactly how much exercise is necessary to have any benefit, whether it works for men and women of different ages, and then how much exercise is needed to keep that benefit.”
Medical reporter Dr. Jennifer Ashton said that she is not sure whether face yoga works and that any benefits are most likely going to be up to the person trying it. “If you feel better after trying face yoga, it may be something you should keep doing,” she said.
32. What made Takatsu decide to create the Face Yoga Method
A. An unexpected car accident. B. Great interest in doing yoga.
C. Unaffordable beauty treatments. D. Unsatisfactory effects of creams.
33. What do we know about Hayashi
A. She wrote a book about face yoga. B. She followed in Takatsu’s footsteps.
C. She had a plastic surgery two years ago. D. She had always admired natural beauty.
34. What can be inferred from Alam’s words
A. The study is helpful but more research is needed.
B. Face yoga is more suitable for women than men.
C. Face yoga needs much too exercise to bring benefits.
D. The study is well-designed but the findings are worthless.
35. What does Ashton think of face yoga
A. Its key point is keeping exercising.
B. It can stop all kinds of signs of aging.
C. Its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
D. Its effectiveness depends on personal feelings.

第五部分 书面表达
One possible version
Hello everyone, Today, I’d like to talk about responsible camping.
Camping is fun, but not everyone practices responsible camping. Some campers leave their trash behind. Some damage plants, disturb wildlife, and even leave their campfires unattended, posing risks to nature and other campers. We should say no to irresponsible camping behavior.
Please remember, “Leave nothing but happiness.” This means when we go camping, we should clean up after ourselves and respect the environment. This way, we can ensure that nature stays beautiful for everyone.
So, let’s camp with care and leave behind only positive memories. Thank you!

Text 10
M: A few years ago my wife and I were living in New York. Our apartment was next to Central Park, and every morning I went for a run before I went to work. A lot of people had told me to be careful of thieves in the park, so I didn’t usually take anything with me. But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put $10 in my back pocket. While I was running through the park, a young man knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. I thought it was a bit strange, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. I immediately ran after the young man and took him by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he give me the $10. I’m not usually a hot-headed person but I was really angry. This frightened him and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got there, I began to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me!” I started. She immediately said, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”
