W: Japanese bachelors looking for love can now learn parenting skills to increase their chances of finding a partner. The male-only “ikumen” course, or parenting course for men, was organized by Osaka-based company “ikumen University” and was priced at 30,000 yen. The course teaches participants how to bathe and dress a baby and also helps them understand a woman’s perspective on parenting through exercises such as wearing a 7kg pregnancy jacket. Participants also learn how to improve communication with a potential partner. Instructor Mr. Takeshi Akiyama said the aim of the course was to help single men look more appealing to potential wives. “I wanted to create a form of certification proving a man’s parenting skills and support for married life,” Mr. Akiyama said. Masaya Kurita, a 31-year-old bachelor living in Tokyo started the course after looking for a wife over the last six months. “During the self-reflection part of the course I’ve realized I have a tendency to hide my weaknesses. I hope to be able to show my more vulnerable side after this,” said Mr. Masaya Kurita.

Early on, Sandra Marshall showed a talent and love for art. A New York native, Sandra owes her passion for art, and her thirst for learning, to childhood trips into New York City to visit the museums, and galleries.
After Sandra received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Arizona State University, she worked as a portrait painter and mural (壁画) artist but turned to food art when her daughter declared she would no longer eat meat. Sandra started exploring with fruits and vegetables to make cooking more fun, and was inspired by the colors of nature. She would write stories about her dinnertime art pieces so her children would see the magic in produce.
In 2014, Sandra opened a studio called Be...An Artist Studio, which welcomed artists to come and learn many different types of art. Paint nights, sculpting nights, live entertainment and eventually a cooking school, all came together and helped to bring the community creating together. She was featured on many television networks
displaying her passions for the arts. Sandra began posting her creations on social media which led to her first published book One Hot Night at the Veggie Bar.
In 2019, Sandra closed her studio to expand and bring art to more people. This also gave her more time to create and explore he town art, including her food art. Sandra hosted painting events, painting with thousands of people at her large Be...An Artist events, such as the National Football League’s owners meeting in 2019 where she painted with the NFL owners and their families.
Sandra is now working with schools, bringing the joy of creating to children and their families with her “Success For All” painting programs that n re supported by the sales of her food art books and grants given to the schools.

C
A recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials (千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. It’s also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are you have similar interests.
And then, too, there are the books. Gen Z-ers are turning out to be big readers, especially of paper books. Even though, or perhaps because, they have in their pockets the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.
There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.
The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 80s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的衬裙). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library.
28．Which of the following is a reason why the young love libraries
A．They enjoy the sense of safety and freedom.
B．They are free to use social media in libraries.
C．They consider e-reading a way to discover beauty.
D．They expect to meet people with different interests.
29．What do we know about the latest TikTok-fuelled craze in New York
A．It’s a trend of reading with the family in bars.
B．It’s a learning approach advocating silent reading.
C．It’s a gathering attended by strangers free of charge.
D．It’s a reading fashion integrating the old and the new.
30．What can be learned about the author’s understanding of reading from paragraph 4
A．It is a delightful social experience. B．It is a way of personal enjoyment.
C．It is a significant parenting pattern. D．It is a painful routine practice.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．A Gen Z Way to Refresh Libraries
B．A Realistic Look of Library Reading
C．A Broad View of Libraries and Social Media
D．A New Way to See Human Connection with Libraries
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Z世代喜欢去图书馆的原因、新的读书方式、作者的读书见解。
28．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and-as my 11-year-old would say-“aesthetic”. (年轻人喜欢图书馆，因为它们安全、舒适、免费，而且——正如我11岁的儿子所说——“有美感”。)”可知，在图书馆他们享受着安全感和自由感，这是年轻人喜欢图书馆的原因。故选A。
29．推理判断题。由文章第三段“There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books. (有时候，在年轻人的阅读方式中会有一种怀旧的角色扮演感。例如，在纽约，tiktok掀起
的最新热潮是在酒吧里与陌生人一起阅读。你必须提前买票，然后大家聚在一起，安静地坐30分钟，读你带来的任何一本书。就像去图书馆的昂贵版本，除了之后你们都喝一杯，谈论书。)”可知，纽约最新的TikTok热潮是提前买票然后在酒吧里和陌生人一起阅读自己带去的书籍，看似与过去图书馆阅读一样，但是昂贵，有一种怀旧的角色扮演感；由此可知，纽约最新的TikTok热潮一种融合新旧的阅读时尚。故选D。
30．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的衬裙). (对我来说，阅读是一种私人乐趣，而屏幕——电视或电影——是社交的。有一次，出于养育子女的雄心壮志，我推出了‘家庭阅读时间’，在此期间，我的丈夫和孩子们被要求和我一起在炉边默读。如果我们戴上大礼帽，穿上衬裙，也不会感觉更有表演感。)”可知，从第4段可以了解到作者认为阅读是一种个人享受的方式。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“A recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials (千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. (美国最近的一项调查发现，z世代和千禧一代比他们的父母或祖父母更频繁地访问图书馆。年轻人喜欢图书馆，因为它们安全、舒适、免费，而且——正如我11岁的儿子所说——‘有美感’。)”和最后一段中“ But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library. (但是，我还是要为这些年轻的读者鼓掌——因为他们知道什么对自己有好处，因为他们寻求人际关系，因为他们在旧的机构中发现了美丽和快乐，因为他们给图书馆带来了新的生命。)”可知，文章主要介绍了美国一项调查发现Z世代和千禧一代更喜欢去图书馆，文章分析了喜欢去图书馆的原因、新的读书方式，作者认为Z一代给图书馆带来了新的生命。由此可知，选项A“A Gen Z Way to Refresh Libraries (让图书馆焕发生机的Z一代方式)”，能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A。
D
There’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets.
Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.
The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.
Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without
considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.
Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis. This means that a shipment of rip e tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.
OneThird’s scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions.
The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.
32．What problem does OneThird aim to solve
A．The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables.
B．Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers.
C．Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life.
D．Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce.
33．What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner
A．The use of the device in another field. B．Observation of the food-supply chain.
C．Consumer demands for fresher produce. D．Experts’advice on food waste reduction.
34．What can we learn about the manual quality inspections
A．They are time-consuming and costly. B．They are not performed at a regular time.
C．The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement. D．The shipping time is not taken into consideration.
35．What’s Jacob’s attitude to OneThird’s effort
A．Approving. B．Doubtful. C．Tolerant. D．Dismissive.
【答案】32．C 33．A 34．D 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了食品科技初创公司OneThird通过红外扫描仪准确预测新鲜水果和蔬菜的保质期。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.(现在，位于荷兰的食品科技初创公司OneThird正试图改变这一现状，他们发明了一种红外扫描仪，可以准确预测新鲜水果和蔬菜的保质期。这家初创公司之所以被命名为OneThird，是因为每年有三分之一的食物因变质而被浪费)”可知，OneThird旨在解决由于不确定食物的保质期而造成的食物浪费。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food.(这家初创公司的创始人受到一家英国公司的启发，该公司在医疗领域使用这种技术，并决定看看它是否适用于食品)”可知，设备在其他领域的使用激发了OneThird使用红外扫描仪的想法。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.(然后，食品被送到消费者手中，而不考虑运输时间或产品的可用性)”可知，人工质量检验中，运输时间没有考虑在内。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.(“全球食物浪费对环境有巨大影响;减少全球食物浪费可以减少全球温室气体排放，促进全球粮食安全，”缅因大学气候专家雅各布·史密斯说)”可知，雅各布对OneThird的努力持支持态度。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章对如何克服拖延症提出了几点建议。
36．根据前文“Procrastination can often be used by people who want to avoid the negative emotions of a task. In this way, they will prioritize (优先考虑) their immediate feelings over their long-term goals. (拖延症通常被那些想要避免一项任务的负面情绪的人所使用。通过这种方式，他们会优先考虑自己的即时感受，而不是长期目标。)”可知，此处是指这会导致他们随后不得不处理一些问题，所以选项G“这导致了许多问题，他们不得不随后处理”切合文意。故选G。

What needs to be done and what doesn’t What is the most important task (花点时间整理一下。哪些需要做，哪些不需要？最重要的任务是什么？)”和后文“The simple act can be an effective way of organizing yourself and prioritizing your tasks.(这个简单的行为可以是一种有效的方式来组织你自己和优先处理你的任务。)”可知，此处是指给任务按照一定结构列一个清单，所以选项C“试着写一个列表，并创建一些结构”切合文意。故选C。
39．根据后文“Therefore, breaking it down into smaller parts can make it more manageable. (因此，将其分解成更小的部分可以使其更易于管理。)”可知，此处是指困难的任务会让人觉得无从下手，很难开始，所以选项D“有时一项困难的任务开始时压力太大”切合文意。故选D。
40．根据后文“Establish specific deadlines for completing a task. Then find someone who will help you be accountable. (为完成一项任务设定具体的最后期限。然后找一个能让你靠得住的人。)”可知，此处是指抓紧行动然后寻求帮助，所以选项A“抓紧行动然后寻求帮助”切合文意。故选A。

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。
Javon was the shortest kid in the class. It had been that way since the third grade. He’d had to ask to get his gym locker changed so that he didn’t have to struggle so much to reach it. For most kids, being short would be a problem, but Javon didn’t let being short bother him at all.
That was Javon’s attitude about most things except school work. And Javon had worked hard. By the middle of seventh grade, Javon was one of the top kids in the class. So, he hadn’t been too concerned when Mr. T announced they were starting a new unit in math. For Javon, math used to be easy. He figured that since he had ten fingers, he could do most of it. But when Mr. T threw letters into math problems, he couldn’t wrap his mind around using these letters. Mr. T had given them all sorts of rules for what to do when there were letters in math problems. But Javon couldn’t remember what they all were and he didn’t think he even understood the rules he did remember. Soon he was hopelessly lost in math class. Even worse, it was time for the class to take the chapter test.
The test was quite demanding. Javon was confused by the very first question. He was nervous and kept losing track of what he was doing. When the class period ended, he hadn’t finished all of the problems.
The day came when the class finally got their papers back. Seeing “D” written in red ink on the corner of the paper, he felt desperate. In the seat next to him, Tyler sighed slightly, catching Javon’s attention. He couldn’t help but see the big, red “C” on Tyler’s paper. He felt so upset.
When they started packing up to leave after class, Tyler accidentally told Javon he got extra time on the test.
Upon hearing this, Javon burst out, “It was unfair!” He dropped his books, face hot.
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 this very moment, Mr. T came up to see what happened to them.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eventually, Javon understood what a reading disorder was and how to ask for help.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At this very moment, Mr. T came up to see what happened to them. Javon, still feeling frustrated, complained loudly about the unfairness of Tyler getting extra time on the test. Tyler looked embarrassed and ducked his head, remaining silent. Mr. T, maintaining his calmness, explained with patience that Tyler had a reading disorder and found it challenging to complete the test within the given time. “Sometimes, we all need a little extra help. And it’s okay to ask for it.” Mr. T smiled and gently patted Javon on the shoulder.
Eventually, Javon understood what a reading disorder was and how to ask for help. He felt guilty for his outburst and apologized to both Mr. T and Tyler. Reflecting on his own struggles with math, Javon realized that everyone has their own unique challenges. He decided to seek assistance from Mr. T after class, who patiently guided him through the rules and concepts he had been struggling with. With consistent effort and determination, Javon gradually improved his math skills, just as he had overcome other obstacles in his life.
【导语】文章以人物为中心，讲述了Javon是班里成绩最好的孩子之一，所以，当T老师宣布他们要开设一个新的数学单元时，他并没有太担心。但是在学习新的单元时候，他迷失了方向，记不清规则，导致他在测试的时候得到的成绩是“D”，当他看到Tyler的成绩是“C”时，他觉得不公平。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“正在这时，T先生走了过来，想看看发生了什么事。”可知，第一段可描写Javon抱怨不公平的原因以及Mr. T的解释。
②由第二段首句内容“最终，Javon明白了什么是阅读障碍，以及如何寻求帮助。”可知，第二段可描写Javon向老师和Tyler道歉，并且通过寻求帮助和自己的努力提高了成绩的过程。
2.续写线索：Javon感到沮丧——抱怨不公平——Mr. T耐心解释——Javon道歉——向Mr. T求助——努力学习——成绩提升

Early on, Sandra Marshall showed a talent and love for art. A New York native, Sandra owes her passion for art, and her thirst for learning, to childhood trips into New York City to visit the museums, and galleries.
After Sandra received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Arizona State University, she worked as a portrait painter and mural (壁画) artist but turned to food art when her daughter declared she would no longer eat meat. Sandra started exploring with fruits and vegetables to make cooking more fun, and was inspired by the colors of nature. She would write stories about her dinnertime art pieces so her children would see the magic in produce.
In 2014, Sandra opened a studio called Be...An Artist Studio, which welcomed artists to come and learn many different types of art. Paint nights, sculpting nights, live entertainment and eventually a cooking school, all came together and helped to bring the community creating together. She was featured on many television networks displaying her passions for the arts. Sandra began posting her creations on social media which led to her first published book One Hot Night at the Veggie Bar.
In 2019, Sandra closed her studio to expand and bring art to more people. This also gave her more time to create and explore he town art, including her food art.

A recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials (千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. It’s also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are you have similar interests.
And then, too, there are the books. Gen Z-ers are turning out to be big readers, especially of paper books. Even though, or perhaps because, they have in their pockets the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.
There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.
The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 80s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的衬裙). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library.
28．Which of the following is a reason why the young love libraries
A．They enjoy the sense of safety and freedom.
B．They are free to use social media in libraries.
C．They consider e-reading a way to discover beauty.
D．They expect to meet people with different interests.
29．What do we know about the latest TikTok-fuelled craze in New York
A．It’s a trend of reading with the family in bars.
B．It’s a learning approach advocating silent reading.
C．It’s a gathering attended by strangers free of charge.
D．It’s a reading fashion integrating the old and the new.
30．What can be learned about the author’s understanding of reading from paragraph 4
A．It is a delightful social experience. B．It is a way of personal enjoyment.
C．It is a significant parenting pattern. D．It is a painful routine practice.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．A Gen Z Way to Refresh Libraries
B．A Realistic Look of Library Reading
C．A Broad View of Libraries and Social Media
D．A New Way to See Human Connection with Libraries
D
There’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets.
Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.
The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.
Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.
Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis. This means that a shipment of rip e tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.
OneThird’s scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions.
The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.
32．What problem does OneThird aim to solve
A．The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables.
B．Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers.
C．Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life.
D．Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce.
33．What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner
A．The use of the device in another field. B．Observation of the food-supply chain.
C．Consumer demands for fresher produce. D．Experts’advice on food waste reduction.
34．What can we learn about the manual quality inspections
A．They are time-consuming and costly. B．They are not performed at a regular time.
C．The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement. D．The shipping time is not taken into consideration.
35．What’s Jacob’s attitude to OneThird’s effort
A．Approving. B．Doubtful. C．Tolerant. D．Dismissive.

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。
Javon was the shortest kid in the class. It had been that way since the third grade. He’d had to ask to get his gym locker changed so that he didn’t have to struggle so much to reach it. For most kids, being short would be a problem, but Javon didn’t let being short bother him at all.
That was Javon’s attitude about most things except school work. And Javon had worked hard. By the middle of seventh grade, Javon was one of the top kids in the class. So, he hadn’t been too concerned when Mr. T announced they were starting a new unit in math. For Javon, math used to be easy. He figured that since he had ten fingers, he could do most of it. But when Mr. T threw letters into math problems, he couldn’t wrap his mind around using these letters. Mr. T had given them all sorts of rules for what to do when there were letters in math problems. But Javon couldn’t remember what they all were and he didn’t think he even understood the rules he did remember. Soon he was hopelessly lost in math class. Even worse, it was time for the class to take the chapter test.
The test was quite demanding. Javon was confused by the very first question. He was nervous and kept losing track of what he was doing. When the class period ended, he hadn’t finished all of the problems.
The day came when the class finally got their papers back. Seeing “D” written in red ink on the corner of the paper, he felt desperate. In the seat next to him, Tyler sighed slightly, catching Javon’s attention. He couldn’t help but see the big, red “C” on Tyler’s paper. He felt so upset.
When they started packing up to leave after class, Tyler accidentally told Javon he got extra time on the test. Upon hearing this, Javon burst out, “It was unfair!” He dropped his books, face hot.
注意：

At this very moment, Mr. T came up to see what happened to them.
