阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I recently visited California’s most-visited national park—Yosemite. Turns out there is a lot you can do and see over a couple days. Here’s my suggested route, if you decide to make a quick weekend trip to see Yosemite’s wonders.
Day 1, Saturday
6 a. m. : Hike the Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point. The 9. 6-mile round trip will take six to eight hours with rest stops, so plan accordingly. Leave early to beat the heat and enjoy the sunrise.
Pro tip: Don’t forget to look down-the view of the valley is truly jaw-dropping.
1 p. m. : Hike to Vernal Fall. If you’re looking for lunch, a tasty and efficient spot is Curry Village Pizza Deck. Plus, your next adventure is on the Mist Trail from nearby Happy Isles for a quick 1. 6-mile round-trip visit to Vemal Fall. It’s a nice cool-down hike after your morning workout and offers easy access to year-round falls.
4 p. m. : Learn some history at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center. Every national park visit requires a stop at the visitor center to learn about park’s history and main features. Here, you can check out the Yosemite Village as well, but the real secret is the free bike share program. Download the app and grab a pair of wheels here for your evening exploration.
Day 2, Sunday
6 a. m. : Drive up the picturesque Tioga Road. While your feet are recovering from yesterday’s mileage, take a leisurely drive up Tioga Road. Along the 45 miles to Tenaya Lake, take photos at the many viewpoints, but especially at Olmsted Point, which has a less-visited but very cool perspective on Half Dome. Have breakfast or lunch alongside the blue waters of Yosemite’s largest lake before heading back toward the valley.
3 p. m. : Complete your trip with a visit to Yosemite Climbing Museum in Mariposa. At a last stop, visit the charming historical town of Mariposa to check out the long-overdue Yosemite Climbing Museum opened in 2021. The famous climbing history displayed in the museum gave me a new appreciation for Yosemite, a place I can’t wait to return to.
1. Which of the following does the author suggest visiting in the morning
A. Vernal Fall. B. Yosemite Village. C. Tenaya Lake. D. Climbing Museum.
2. According to the author, the best thing to do at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center is __________.
A. cycling for evening exploration B. learning about park’s history
C. going around the Yosemite Village D. downloading the free bike share app
3. Why is Olmsted Point a good place to take photos
A. Because it’s a less-visited place but with picturesque scenery.
B. Because it’s a place offering a better view of Half Dome.
C. Because it’s a rest stop for visitors to have breakfast or lunch.
D. Because it’s not such a place that is flooded with visitors taking photos.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。作者从徒步旅行到参观景点和了解公园历史，提供了一个简要的行程规划，以帮助人们更好地游览美丽的Yosemite国家公园。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据6 a. m. : Drive up the picturesque Tioga Road 中的“Along the 45 miles to Tenaya Lake, take photos at the many viewpoints...”（沿着通往特纳亚湖45英里，你可以在许多景点拍照）可知，作者建议在早上的时候前往Tenaya Lake。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据4 p. m. : Learn some history at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center中的“Here, you can check out the Yosemite Village as well, but the real secret is the free bike share program. Download the app and grab a pair of wheels here for your evening exploration. (在这里，你也可以参观Yosemite Village，但真正的秘密是免费的自行车共享计划。下载该应用程序，在这里租一辆自行车，为晚上的探索做准备。)”可知，在Yosemite Village最好的活动是骑自行车进行夜间探索。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Along the 45 miles to Tenaya Lake, take photos at the many viewpoints, but especially at Olmsted Point, which has a less-visited but very cool perspective on Half Dome. (沿着45英里的路程到达特纳雅湖(Tenaya Lake)，在许多观景点拍照，尤其是在奥姆斯特德点(Olmsted Point)，它虽然游客较少，但是提供了一个非常酷的哈夫穹顶(Half Dome)的视角。)”可知，Olmsted Point是有一个非常酷的Half Dome的视角，所以是拍照的好地方，故选B项。
B
Lying in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the fishing village Huatulco is home to nine bays, 36 beaches and thousands of baby turtles that apparently needed me. I had three open days on my calendar, and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystem in the U. S. and Mexico.
I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. Just one hour north of Huatulco, this protected beach is where mass turtle nesting happens. This natural phenomenon lasts just four days during rainy season, hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs.
Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects.
I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an average laying of 100 eggs, just one in 1, 000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. Gazing into the bowl, I so badly wanted them to taste the sea and find shelter somewhere deep in the ocean. Finally, it was time to liberate those little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach.
With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1, 000.” Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea.
4. The baby turtles are threatened by various factors except ________.
A. the cruel hunters B. the rapid development
C. the extreme weather D. the oil-polluted ocean
5. What do the underlined words “full steam ahead” in paragraph 4 mean
A. With slow pace and fear. B. With all energy and enthusiasm.
C. With full caution and curiosity. D. With great satisfaction and responsibility.
6. What does the author indicate by mentioning “One in 1,000” in the last paragraph
A. One baby turtle in 1,000 can make his way to the sea.
B. Thousands of baby turtles were crashed back to shore.
C. The struggle of baby turtles for life touched the author.
D. Baby turtles can hardly survive the harsh living conditions.
7. What can we learn from the author’s experience in saving baby turtles
A. Think twice before you leap. B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. Cease to struggle and you cease to live. D. When the buying stops, the killing can too.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海龟的危险处境，作者想拯救海龟并加入到保护美国和墨西哥海岸和海洋生态系统的变革斗士中，体会到了适者生存，小乌龟很难在恶劣的生活条件下生存。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. ”（在狗、螃蟹、发展和石油泄漏的威胁之间，这些小生物让整个世界都在与它们对抗。直到2002年，在瓦哈卡社区，海龟狩猎不仅是一种常见的做法，也是文化和饮食的重要组成部分。）可知，海龟宝宝受到残忍的猎人、快速的发展、被石油污染的海洋这些因素的威胁，没有提到极端的天气。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach.”其中的结构“some...while others....”可知，while前后表示对比，while后面说“而另一些则几乎没有划动到位”，所以推出while前面是说“有些全速前进，充满活力和热情”，所以“full steam ahead”意思是“有些全速前进，充满活力和热情”。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1, 000.” Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea.”（在每一次海浪中，我们都见证了适者生存，一些推过粉饰的墙壁，另一些则撞回岸边。它们为生命而战，让我热泪盈眶。一群鸟准备潜入大海寻找它们移动的目标。“千分之一。”大自然同时又残忍又富有同情心。30分钟后，最后一只生物来到了大海。）可知，在每一次海浪中，适者生存，它们为生命而战，只有大约千分之一的存活率，小乌龟很难在恶劣的生活条件下生存。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通过全文可知，小乌龟很难在恶劣的生活条件下生存，它们得与一切恶劣环境作斗争，适者生存，所以我们可以从作者拯救小乌龟的经历中学到“停止斗争，你就会停止生活”。故选C项。
C
It’s not polite to stare, especially in the hospital. But nearly everyone who passes Moxi, the robot at Elmhurst Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois, can’t help but goggle at it as it slowly rolls through hallways and corridors. The robot is roughly human-shaped, stands about 5 feet tall and perhaps most strikingly, has his big blue eyes that occasionally blink.
For months, Moxi robots have been travelling the halls of Chicago-area hospitals. They deliver medication, supplies and small pieces of equipment across the facilities. “With the staffing shortage, we’re always looking for ways to take no-clinical tasks away from the clinical staff, especially repetitive tasks,” said Dr. Kimberley Darey, Elmhurst chief medical officer. She noted that Moxi does not work with patients. The idea behind the robots is to give nurses more time with patients and perform higher level care.
When nurses want to use Moxi, they can summon (召唤) the robot by entering a request into an app on a tablet, similar to the way a person might request an Uber ride. When the robot arrives, a nurse or worker then holds their badge (工作证) up to a detector, which allows the worker to open any of the three drawers on the robot, and the nurse can place medication, supplies or equipment into a drawer. Moxi then scoots away. When Moxi arrives at its destination, a written message appears on its face screen. A nurse can then flash their badge at Moxi’s detector, prompting the drawer to unlock so the nurse can retrieve the delivery.
Each month, the two Moxi robots at Elmhurst Hospital perform about 1, 800 deliveries. At first, when Moxi arrived at Elmhurst, some of the nurses were nervous, said Heather Johnson, a nurse and clinical leader at the hospital. But after a successful trial run, nurses began to feel more optimistic about the robot’s usefulness. What’s more, at Elmhurst Hospital, patients often grin as Moxi rolls by, and some even stop to take selfies with it.
8. Why do people passing Moxi robot stare at it
A. Out of interest. B. Out of mercy. C. Out of kindness. D. Out of necessity.
9. What’s the purpose of introducing Moxi robots into hospital
A. To entertain patients and medical workers.
B. To cut down expense by replacing nurses.
C. To take medical tasks away from medical workers.
D. To free nurses up to spend more time with patients.
10. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. When Moxi robots are wanted. B. How Moxi robots are operated.
C. How Moxi robots are summoned. D. Why Moxi robots are needed.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Moxi robots
A. Dismissive. B. Indifferent. C. Favourable. D. Suspicious.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了伊利诺伊州埃尔姆赫斯特市埃尔姆赫斯特医院的机器人Moxi的工作。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“But nearly everyone who passes Moxi, the robot at Elmhurst Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois, can’t help but goggle at it as it slowly rolls through hallways and corridors. The robot is roughly human-shaped, stands about 5 feet tall and perhaps most strikingly, has his big blue eyes that occasionally blink. (但是，几乎每个经过Moxi的人都忍不住盯着它看，因为它在走廊和走廊里慢慢地滚动。Moxi是伊利诺伊州埃尔姆赫斯特市埃尔姆赫斯特医院的机器人。这个机器人大致是人形的，大约5英尺高，也许最引人注目的是，它有一双蓝色的大眼睛，偶尔会眨眼。)”可知，出于对Moxi的兴趣，人们都盯着它看。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“The idea behind the robots is to give nurses more time with patients and perform higher level care. (机器人背后的想法是让护士有更多的时间和病人在一起，并提供更高水平的护理。)”可知，将Moxi引入医院的目的是让护士腾出更多时间与病人相处。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第三段“When nurses want to use Moxi, they can summon (召唤) the robot by entering a request into an app on a tablet, similar to the way a person might request an Uber ride. When the robot arrives, a nurse or worker then holds their badge (工作证) up to a detector, which allows the worker to open any of the three drawers on the robot, and the nurse can place medication, supplies or equipment into a drawer. Moxi then scoots away. When Moxi arrives at its destination, a written message appears on its face screen. A nurse can then flash their badge at Moxi’s detector, prompting the drawer to unlock so the nurse can retrieve the delivery. (当护士想要使用Moxi时，她们可以通过在平板电脑上的应用程序中输入请求来召唤机器人，就像一个人请求乘坐优步一样。当机器人到达时，护士或工作人员将他们的徽章举到检测器前，工作人员可以打开机器人上的三个抽屉中的任何一个，护士可以将药物、用品或设备放入抽屉中。然后Moxi跑开了。当Moxi到达目的地时，一条书面信息就会出现在它的屏幕上。然后，护士可以在Moxi的探测器上亮出他们的徽章，促使抽屉解锁，这样护士就可以取出递送的东西。)”可知，第三段主要讲述如何操作Moxi。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Each month, the two Moxi robots at Elmhurst Hospital perform about 1, 800 deliveries. At first, when Moxi arrived at Elmhurst, some of the nurses were nervous, said Heather Johnson, a nurse and clinical leader at the hospital. But after a successful trial run, nurses began to feel more optimistic about the robot’s usefulness. What’s more, at Elmhurst Hospital, patients often grin as Moxi rolls by, and some even stop to take selfies with it. (每个月，埃尔姆赫斯特医院的两台Moxi机器人要进行大约1800次递送。医院的护士兼临床负责人Heather Johnson说，刚到埃尔姆赫斯特时，一些护士很紧张。但在一次成功的试运行后，护士们开始对机器人的实用性感到更加乐观。更重要的是，在埃尔姆赫斯特医院，当Moxi经过时，病人们经常会咧嘴笑，有些人甚至停下来和它自拍。)”可知，作者描述了Moxi的好处和人们对它的积极反应，对此是支持的。故选C。
D
Most of us have some sort of bucket list—a checklist of experiences and accomplishments we hope to achieve before our time here on earth is up. When we think of how to improve our lives, our first urge is generally to add things: I’d be happier if my career were going better. Everything would be different if I could find a good relationship. There is only one problem with this approach—science suggests it tends to have the opposite result.
A mountain of researches show that when you reach your goals, they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy. After a brief high, dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list. How do you get off this problem and find lasting peace of mind Brooks offers a simple, practical suggestion: Swap your traditional bucket list for something he calls a “reverse bucket list.”
“Each year on my birthday, I list my wants and attachments—the stuff that fits under the categories of money, power, pleasure and honor. I try to be completely honest,” he writes. Next, Brooks sits down and lists what his life would be like in five years if he were truly happy and successful—if he were living up to his values and experiencing a sense of psychological peace. The final step is to compare the two lists side by side. Would those things he longs for actually bring him closer to his vision of the good life
If an item is on your bucket list because it lines up with your deepest desires and values, keep it. If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for “success”, onto the reverse bucket list it goes.
When scientists ask people to solve problems of all kinds, their first urge is to add elements. They think a new feature, additional rule or extra ingredient will improve the final outcome. But recent research shows that subtraction (减法) is often the better one.
12. What is a problem probably caused when you achieve your goals
A. You will be eaten up with pride.
B. Your confidence will be boosted overly.
C. You will be unwilling to achieve the next goal.
D. Your temporary happiness will give way to discontent.
13. What’s the difference between the traditional and the reverse bucket list
A. Whether the items on the list are listed honestly.
B. Whether the items on the list can bring you glory.
C. Whether the items on the list can be achieved.
D. Whether the items on the list are consistent with your beliefs.
14. According to Brooks, which of the following will be classified into the reverse bucket list
A. Buying a more luxurious villa than a friend’s.
B. Keeping on working out regularly to keep fit.
C. Serving the community to keep mentally peaceful.
D. Studying abroad for further education to realize self-value.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Barrier of Happiness: A Rule of Subtraction
B. The Secret to Happiness: A Reverse Bucket List
C. The Block to Happiness: A Traditional Bucket List
D. The Truth of Happiness: A Checklist of Achievements
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了传统的“bucket list”方法可能导致暂时的幸福感和不满，并介绍了一个替代方法——反向“bucket list”，通过对比个人的真实愿望、价值观和理想生活，以寻求持久的心灵平静和幸福。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“A mountain of researches show that when you reach your goals, they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy. After a brief high, dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list. (大量研究表明，当你达到目标时，它们可能只会给你带来短暂的快乐。在短暂的高潮之后，不满情绪悄然袭来，我们开始渴望清单上的下一件事。)”可知，实现目标后，暂时的幸福感会被不满所取代，故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中““Each year on my birthday, I list my wants and attachments—the stuff that fits under the categories of money, power, pleasure and honor. I try to be completely honest,” he writes. (“每年在我生日那天，我都会列出我的需求和依恋——这些东西属于金钱、权力、快乐和荣誉的范畴。我试着完全诚实，”他写道。)”及第四段“If an item is on your bucket list because it lines up with your deepest desires and values, keep it. If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for “success”, onto the reverse bucket list it goes. (如果某件物品在您的愿望清单上，因为它符合您最深切的愿望和价值观，请保留它。如果它是为了给邻居留下深刻印象，或者满足对“成功”的模糊而强烈的需求，那么它就会进入反向愿望清单。)”可知，愿望清单和反向愿望清单的不同之处在于清单上的项目是否与你的信念一致。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for “success”, onto the reverse bucket list it goes. (如果它是为了给邻居留下深刻印象，或者满足对“成功”的模糊而强烈的需求，那么它就会进入反向的遗愿清单。)”并结合选项推知，买比朋友的别墅更豪华的别墅是属于反向遗愿清单，故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“A mountain of researches show that when you reach your goals, they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy. After a brief high, dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list. How do you get off this problem and find lasting peace of mind Brooks offers a simple, practical suggestion: Swap your traditional bucket list for something he calls a “reverse bucket list.”(大量的研究表明，当你达到目标时，它们可能只会给你带来短暂的快乐。在短暂的高潮之后，不满情绪悄悄降临，我们开始渴望清单上的下一件事。你如何摆脱这个问题，找到持久的内心平静 布鲁克斯提出了一个简单实用的建议：把你的传统愿望清单换成他所谓的“反向愿望清单”)”和最后一段中“But recent research shows that subtraction (减法) is often the better one.(但最近的研究表明，减法往往是更好的选择)”可知，文章主要介绍了传统“bucket list”带来的问题和反向“bucket list”作为实现持久幸福的秘诀。因此，选项B“The Secret to Happiness: A Reverse Bucket List(幸福的秘诀：反向遗愿清单)”是最适合的标题。故选B项。

The Friend Trip: Fun Without Conflicts
Anyone who said a friend is a friend forever has clearly never experienced a group trip where you will get into trouble arguing over plans and restaurant bills. ___16___ Here are some ways to do it without anyone getting unfriended.
Invite with care
“You cannot travel with everybody. All your friends are not travel friends,” says Irvin on her popular TikTok account. She suggests picking travel partners who share similar interests, and deciding ahead of time what kind of trip you will be taking—relaxation, partying or adventure.
Brainstorm as a group
___17___ Some people prefer to use familiar spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel to organise the plan and share it with friends. And creating an Airbnb wish list lets friends suggest accommodation options for the whole group to see.
Exchange the captain’s hat
Use a classic teacher’s trick to keep everyone engaged and share the planning burden: schedule a group leader to take ownership of each day’s activities. ___18___ By making everyone the driver, everyone also gets the chance at some point to sit back and be a passenger.
___19___
Tracking expenses for a whole group can expose a lot of pain points. “I have seen so many friendships break down because dissatisfaction builds when one person suspects other friends are taking advantage of her financially or not pulling their weight,” says friendship coach Jackson. ___20___ Jackson says he liked Splitwise to help groups manage everyone’s bills, so there’s no confusion about who owes what.
A. Prepare cash in advance
B. Automate the money flow
C. Travelling with your best friends can be a tough job.
D. There are countless situations where the group need to design travel routes.
E. Apps can help make complex calculations easy even while the trip is still underway.
F. Ask your friends where they want to go and what they want to do using Google Forms.
G. This person will be responsible for making that day’s tour plan or keeping everyone on schedule.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就和朋友一起旅游提出了一些建议和方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Anyone who said a friend is a friend forever has clearly never experienced a group trip where you will get into trouble arguing over plans and restaurant bills.(那些说朋友是永远的朋友的人显然没有经历过团体旅行，在那里你们会因为计划和餐厅账单而陷入麻烦)”可知，上文提到和朋友因为计划和餐厅账单而陷入麻烦，即本句总结上文的问题，说明和朋友旅行可能是困难的。故C选项“和你最好的朋友一起旅行可能是一件艰难的工作”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Some people prefer to use familiar spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel to organise the plan and share it with friends. And creating an Airbnb wish list lets friends suggest accommodation options for the whole group to see.(有些人喜欢使用熟悉的电子表格，如微软Excel来组织计划，并与朋友分享。创建一个爱彼迎愿望清单，让朋友们建议住宿选择，让整个团队都能看到)”可知，后文提到了使用电子表格的习惯，说明是建议用电子表单来咨询朋友的意见，F选项中Google Forms对应后文Microsoft Excel。故F选项“问你的朋友他们想去哪里，他们想用谷歌表单做什么”符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Use a classic teacher’s trick to keep everyone engaged and share the planning burden: schedule a group leader to take ownership of each day’s activities.(用一个经典的老师的技巧来让每个人都参与进来，分担计划的负担：安排一个小组领导来负责每天的活动)”可知，上文提到了安排一个小组领导，可知本句承接上文，说明这一领导的责任或作用。故G选项“这个人将负责制定当天的旅游计划或保证每个人按计划进行”符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】

【20题详解】
根据后文“Jackson says he liked Splitwise to help groups manage everyone’s bills, so there’s no confusion about who owes what.(Jackson说，他喜欢Splitwise，因为它可以帮助团队管理每个人的账单，这样就不会混淆谁欠了什么)”可知，后文提到了某个应用程序可以帮助管理账单，可知本句是在建议使用应用程序来算账。故E选项“即使旅行还在进行中，应用程序也可以帮助简化复杂的计算”符合语境，故选E。

【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：该项目按照中国标准设计、使用中国设备、由中国企业管理，是中国在海外建设隧道全产业链的成功探索，将成为中国在海外的一张闪亮名片。此处泛指“一张闪亮名片”，且shining以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I went to sleep with my mouth open and I woke up with a sore throat. The medicine I took was of no use and my mom was forcing me to go to the doctor because she was worried that it would make me ill. When I went to brush my teeth, there was no toothpaste left and as I was trying to squeeze anything left in the tube, the toothpaste splattered（酒） all over my face and the uniform I had been looking forward to wearing all week long. I washed my hair last night thinking I’d have time to straighten it in the morning or even give it a nice brush, but because of the toothpaste incident I didn’t have enough time to do anything to it at all. Now my hair was frizzy and I was in sweatpants.
On my way to school, there was an accident holding up traffic on the one-way only street to my high school. That day was my first day of high school, and also my birthday. You might be wondering: Wait... It’s really your birthday Then how come you didn’t mention your parents wishing you a happy birthday that morning All are very good questions. I didn’t mention it because it never happened. My own parents forgot my birthday.
Maybe this day would get better. At least that’s what I told myself to prevent the pulling of my own hair out. On my way to the classroom, I tripped up on the stairs and hurt my knee. I saw some students pull their phones out to capture the awkward moment. Luckily for me, I thought they were too late. Shortly after the first bell rang, the morning announcements played and on came the birthday section. What a feeling of relief!! wouldn’t be forgotten after. But I was wrong.
Not even the school, who quite literally has my birthday on file, remembered my birthday.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
This day continued to get worse.

When I finally went home, I found my parents’ car was in the driveway.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
This day continued to get worse. During the break, my classmates began playing the video, which had captured my ridiculous look, bursting into laughter. I had to put on a hat to cover my frizzy hair, face turning red. Even worse, I had forgotten that it was the day of school meeting, where every student was required to wear school uniform. So embarrassed was I that I stared at my sweatpants, wanting to hide myself somewhere. It was the worst birthday I had ever had! After school, I dragged my wounded legs behind me on the way home.
When I finally went home, I found my parents’ car was in the driveway. Opening the door, I found nobody in the house, only to be greeted by the darkness. A surge of sadness flooded into my mind, and my throat and knee became even more painful. No sooner had I turned on the light than a shout of “Surprise!” erupted. Suddenly my parents jumped out, carrying a big birthday cake. A wave of happiness took hold of me. After enjoying the delicious cake, my parents drove me to treat my sore throat and injured knee. Even though this birthday was filled with medicine and bad luck, family love was sweeter than anything else.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I recently visited California’s most-visited national park—Yosemite. Turns out, there is a lot you can do and see over a couple days. Here’s my suggested route, if you decide to make a quick weekend trip to see Yosemite’s wonders.
Day 1, Saturday
6 a. m. : Hike the Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point. The 9. 6-mile round trip will take six to eight hours with rest stops, so plan accordingly. Leave early to beat the heat and enjoy the sunrise.
Pro tip: Don’t forget to look down-the view of the valley is truly jaw-dropping.
1 p. m. : Hike to Vernal Fall. If you’re looking for lunch, a tasty and efficient spot is Curry Village Pizza Deck. Plus, your next adventure is on the Mist Trail from nearby Happy Isles for a quick 1. 6-mile round-trip visit to Vemal Fall. It’s a nice cool-down hike after your morning workout and offers easy access to year-round falls.
4 p. m. : Learn some history at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center. Every national park visit requires a stop at the visitor center to learn about park’s history and main features. Here, you can check out the Yosemite Village as well, but the real secret is the free bike share program. Download the app and grab a pair of wheels here for your evening exploration.
Day 2, Sunday
6 a. m. : Drive up the picturesque Tioga Road. While your feet are recovering from yesterday’s mileage, take a leisurely drive up Tioga Road. Along the 45 miles to Tenaya Lake, take photos at the many viewpoints, but especially at Olmsted Point, which has a less-visited but very cool perspective on Half Dome. Have breakfast or lunch alongside the blue waters of Yosemite’s largest lake before heading back toward the valley.
3 p. m. : Complete your trip with a visit to Yosemite Climbing Museum in Mariposa. At a last stop, visit the charming historical town of Mariposa to check out the long-overdue Yosemite Climbing Museum opened in 2021. The famous climbing history displayed in the museum gave me a new appreciation for Yosemite, a place I can’t wait to return to.
1. Which of the following does the author suggest visiting in the morning
A. Vernal Fall. B. Yosemite Village. C. Tenaya Lake. D. Climbing Museum.
2. According to the author, the best thing to do at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center is __________.
A. cycling for evening exploration B. learning about park’s history
C. going around the Yosemite Village D. downloading the free bike share app
3. Why is Olmsted Point a good place to take photos
A. Because it’s a less-visited place but with picturesque scenery.
B. Because it’s a place offering a better view of Half Dome.
C. Because it’s a rest stop for visitors to have breakfast or lunch.
D Because it’s not such a place that is flooded with visitors taking photos.
B
Lying in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the fishing village Huatulco is home to nine bays, 36 beaches and thousands of baby turtles that apparently needed me. I had three open days on my calendar, and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystem in the U. S. and Mexico.
I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. Just one hour north of Huatulco, this protected beach is where mass turtle nesting happens. This natural phenomenon lasts just four days during rainy season, hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs.
Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects.
I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an average laying of 100 eggs, just one in 1, 000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. Gazing into the bowl, I so badly wanted them to taste the sea and find shelter somewhere deep in the ocean. Finally, it was time to liberate those little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach.
With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1, 000.” Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea.
4. The baby turtles are threatened by various factors except ________.
A. the cruel hunters B. the rapid development
C. the extreme weather D. the oil-polluted ocean
5. What do the underlined words “full steam ahead” in paragraph 4 mean
A. With slow pace and fear. B. With all energy and enthusiasm.
C. With full caution and curiosity. D. With great satisfaction and responsibility.
6. What does the author indicate by mentioning “One in 1,000” in the last paragraph
A. One baby turtle in 1,000 can make his way to the sea.
B. Thousands of baby turtles were crashed back to shore.
C. The struggle of baby turtles for life touched the author.
D. Baby turtles can hardly survive the harsh living conditions.
7. What can we learn from the author’s experience in saving baby turtles
A. Think twice before you leap. B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. Cease to struggle and you cease to live. D. When the buying stops, the killing can too.
C
It’s not polite to stare, especially in the hospital. But nearly everyone who passes Moxi, the robot at Elmhurst Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois, can’t help but goggle at it as it slowly rolls through hallways and corridors. The robot is roughly human-shaped, stands about 5 feet tall and perhaps most strikingly, has his big blue eyes that occasionally blink.
For months, Moxi robots have been travelling the halls of Chicago-area hospitals. They deliver medication, supplies and small pieces of equipment across the facilities. “With the staffing shortage, we’re always looking for ways to take no-clinical tasks away from the clinical staff, especially repetitive tasks,” said Dr. Kimberley Darey, Elmhurst chief medical officer. She noted that Moxi does not work with patients. The idea behind the robots is to give nurses more time with patients and perform higher level care.
When nurses want to use Moxi, they can summon (召唤) the robot by entering a request into an app on a tablet, similar to the way a person might request an Uber ride. When the robot arrives, a nurse or worker then holds their badge (工作证) up to a detector, which allows the worker to open any of the three drawers on the robot, and the nurse can place medication, supplies or equipment into a drawer. Moxi then scoots away. When Moxi arrives at its destination, a written message appears on its face screen. A nurse can then flash their badge at Moxi’s detector, prompting the drawer to unlock so the nurse can retrieve the delivery.
Each month the two Moxi robots at Elmhurst Hospital perform about 1, 800 deliveries. At first, when Moxi arrived at Elmhurst, some of the nurses were nervous, said Heather Johnson, a nurse and clinical leader at the hospital. But after a successful trial run, nurses began to feel more optimistic about the robot’s usefulness. What’s more, at Elmhurst Hospital, patients often grin as Moxi rolls by, and some even stop to take selfies with it.
8. Why do people passing Moxi robot stare at it
A. Out of interest. B. Out of mercy. C. Out of kindness. D. Out of necessity.
9. What’s the purpose of introducing Moxi robots into hospital
A. To entertain patients and medical workers.
B. To cut down expense by replacing nurses.
C. To take medical tasks away from medical workers.
D. To free nurses up to spend more time with patients.
10. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. When Moxi robots are wanted. B. How Moxi robots are operated.
C. How Moxi robots are summoned. D. Why Moxi robots are needed.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Moxi robots
A. Dismissive. B. Indifferent. C. Favourable. D. Suspicious.
D
Most of us have some sort of bucket list—a checklist of experiences and accomplishments we hope to achieve before our time here on earth is up. When we think of how to improve our lives, our first urge is generally to add things: I’d be happier if my career were going better. Everything would be different if I could find a good relationship. There is only one problem with this approach—science suggests it tends to have the opposite result.
A mountain of researches show that when you reach your goals, they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy. After a brief high, dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list. How do you get off this problem and find lasting peace of mind Brooks offers a simple, practical suggestion: Swap your traditional bucket list for something he calls a “reverse bucket list.”
“Each year on my birthday, I list my wants and attachments—the stuff that fits under the categories of money, power, pleasure and honor. I try to be completely honest,” he writes. Next, Brooks sits down and lists what his life would be like in five years if he were truly happy and successful—if he were living up to his values and experiencing a sense of psychological peace. The final step is to compare the two lists side by side. Would those things he longs for actually bring him closer to his vision of the good life
If an item is on your bucket list because it lines up with your deepest desires and values, keep it. If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for “success”, onto the reverse bucket list it goes.
When scientists ask people to solve problems of all kinds, their first urge is to add elements. They think a new feature, additional rule or extra ingredient will improve the final outcome. But recent research shows that subtraction (减法) is often the better one.
12. What is a problem probably caused when you achieve your goals
A. You will be eaten up with pride.
B. Your confidence will be boosted overly.
C. You will be unwilling to achieve the next goal.
D. Your temporary happiness will give way to discontent.
13. What’s the difference between the traditional and the reverse bucket list
A Whether the items on the list are listed honestly.
B. Whether the items on the list can bring you glory.
C. Whether the items on the list can be achieved.
D. Whether the items on the list are consistent with your beliefs.
14. According to Brooks, which of the following will be classified into the reverse bucket list
A. Buying a more luxurious villa than a friend’s.
B. Keeping on working out regularly to keep fit.
C. Serving the community to keep mentally peaceful.
D. Studying abroad for further education to realize self-value.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Barrier of Happiness: A Rule of Subtraction
B. The Secret to Happiness: A Reverse Bucket List
C. The Block to Happiness: A Traditional Bucket List
D. The Truth of Happiness: A Checklist of Achievements

I went to sleep with my mouth open and I woke up with a sore throat. The medicine I took was of no use and my mom was forcing me to go to the doctor because she was worried that it would make me ill. When I went to brush my teeth, there was no toothpaste left and as I was trying to squeeze anything left in the tube, the toothpaste splattered（酒） all over my face and the uniform I had been looking forward to wearing all week long. I washed my hair last night thinking I’d have time to straighten it in the morning or even give it a nice brush, but because of the toothpaste incident I didn’t have enough time to do anything to it at all. Now my hair was frizzy and I was in sweatpants.
On my way to school, there was an accident holding up traffic on the one-way only street to my high school. That day was my first day of high school, and also my birthday. You might be wondering: Wait... It’s really your birthday Then how come you didn’t mention your parents wishing you a happy birthday that morning All are very good questions. I didn’t mention it because it never happened. My own parents forgot my birthday.
Maybe this day would get better. At least that’s what I told myself to prevent the pulling of my own hair out. On my way to the classroom, I tripped up on the stairs and hurt my knee. I saw some students pull their phones out to capture the awkward moment. Luckily for me, I thought they were too late. Shortly after the first bell rang, the morning announcements played and on came the birthday section. What a feeling of relief!! wouldn’t be forgotten after. But I was wrong.
Not even the school, who quite literally has my birthday on file, remembered my birthday.
