This year, the Music Educator Award, presented by the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum, went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. She attended the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and brought home both a $10,000 prize and matching grant （资助） for her school’s music program.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their children. She got the idea mostly from the Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries, including many refugees and immigrants. “There’re many cultures that might typically clash, but they come together in this very beautiful harmony,” Ray explained. “And that’s really uniquely expressed in the orchestra classroom, where we’re just all music-ing together.”
Ray says the Crescendo Orchestra is focused on teaching students how to play an instrument, through one-on-one instruction tailored to their needs. The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however. “I really push my students to be brave and go outside of their comfort zone. We have to learn how to work together with others,” she says.
Ray, who comes from a family of musicians and has played the harp （竖琴） since the age of five, knows firsthand the impact that a great teacher can make on their students. “Why I am where I am is because a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she says.
Ray says her warm reception on the awards ceremony is especially meaningful because not many people understand what exactly music educators do in the classroom or how much their work matters. She says that lack of understanding is one of the biggest challenges facing the profession in general. Moreover, she says her school desperately needs new instruments, and adds that she’ll use some of her grant money to buy more.
（ ）24．What mainly inspired Ray to create the Crescendo Orchestra
A．The effect of some caregivers. B．The diversity of a community.
C．The harmony of the disabled. D．The rich culture of her school.
（ ）25．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Who are influenced by music. B．How the Crescendo Orchestra develops.
C．What students can learn. D．Why students need special instruction.
（ ）26．How was Ray influenced by her teacher
A．She funded some students. B．She fought against her family.
C．She began learning the harp. D．She chose to be a music educator.
（ ）27．What can be learned from what Ray says in the last paragraph
A．Music education needs to be appreciated. B．She badly wants donations for instruments.
C．The administration offers no support. D．She is often challenged by musicians.

People have long watched moths （飞蛾） and other flying insects flock to streetlamps, lights and flames. These insects appear attracted by the light. But a new study suggests they may just lose track of which way is up.
Previous theories say light probably blinds flying insects so that they get trapped by the light, or maybe they interpret light at night as a place to fly for a quick escape. Now the new study suggests flying insects instead turn their backs to the sky’s light to keep their feet pointing toward the ground. Insects naturally turn their backs toward light. But when that light is from an artificial source, it may affect their sense of direction, leading to them flying in circles or diving toward the ground.
At a field station in Costa Rica, Samuel Fabian, an entomologist from Imperial College London in England and his teammates set up hanging and standing lights, and then used high-speed cameras to track wild, flying insects including moths and flies. Some circled the lights endlessly, and others flew sharply upward, losing speed until they couldn’t fly any higher. When the light source pointed up, some insects turned around and headed for the ground. During the flight, the insects always kept the lights at their back even if they’d end up crashing. Crash landings were common when the team lit up a white sheet on the floor. But not when a white sheet—stretched into a height above the floor—was bathed in diffuse （漫射） light, much as the sky would be, insects flew through the area without getting trapped by the light.
The team also observed some species in a lab. Moths and dragonflies generally behaved like the wild insects, and they kept the light at their backs. However, in the lab, fruit flies, like oleander hawk moths—which can fly in the dark—could fly over LED lights without being thrown off course. In the wild, though, the moths still crashed. Maybe this is because, Fabian says, the insects can sometimes control their response to light, or over time, they might learn to avoid artificial light.
（ ）28．Why do insects naturally turn their backs toward light
A．To get close to the light. B．To escape being caught quickly.
C．To protect their feet better. D．To track where the ground is.
（ ）29．What did the researchers find during the new study
A．Artificial light at night could put insects on a crash course.
B．Artificial light signaled an escape route for the insects.
C．The insects had a better sense of direction.
D．The insects were flying toward the light.
（ ）30．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning oleander hawk moths
A．To stress the importance of the study. B．To prove the previous theory.
C．To tell the existence of the exception. D．To explain the flight pattern.
（ ）31．What could be the best title for the text
A．Artificial Light Makes Insects More Adaptable B．Insects May Lose Track near Artificial Light
C．The Ways to Get Rid of Light Pollution D．Insects Learn to Fly for a Quick Escape
D
The Ebola virus is an infectious disease that for years had almost no treatments, and it kill s about half the people it infects. Now a new study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases shows that a promising vaccine （疫苗）, named rVSV△G-ZEBOV-GP, doesn’t just help to reduce infections, it also can cut those death numbers in half.
The vaccine is a single-dose （单剂） muscular one that causes cells to produce one of the virus’s proteins. “Later, if the person is exposed to Ebola,”explains Rebecca Coulborn, a scientist with Epicentre, the medical research arm of Doctors Without Borders, “their immune system will recognize the viral protein. This recognition allows the immune system to be prepared to attack the virus and protect the person from Ebola virus disease.”
Researchers showed rVSV△G-ZEBOV-GP was effective at reducing the risk of infection, but no one knew how capable it was of preventing death in someone who was vaccinated after becoming infected during an epidemic （流行病）. To figure it out, Coulborn and her colleagues focused their efforts on the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded, which occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 2018 and 2020.
“Every single Ebola health facility across the entire Ebola epidemic had a standardized list of all admissions,” says Coulborn. This list included 2,279 confirmed Ebola patients, and it recorded whether or not each person had been vaccinated before they got sick—and if so, when they’d received the vaccine.
Coulborn found the death rate was 56% among the unvaccinated. But for those who’d received the vaccine, that rate was cut in half. This was true no matter when someone got vaccinated before the appearance of symptoms. Additionally, those who’d been vaccinated had less virus circulating in their bodies than those who hadn’t. So the vaccine played an important role.
Rebecca Coulborn says she feels buoyed by the results—since they offer clear evidence that people who’re at risk of contracting Ebola should be vaccinated early. It’s an opportunity to cut chains of transmission （传播） and prevent an outbreak before it gains speed.
（ ）32．What is Coulborn trying to talk about concerning the vaccine in paragraph 2
A．Who it attacks. B．Why it is developed. C．How it works. D．Where it comes from.
（ ）33．Coulborn’s team chose the second largest Ebola outbreak in Congo because ______.
A．it listed health facilities B．it was easy to analyze
C．it caused the fewest deaths D．it had a detailed record
（ ）34．What did Coulborn probably suggest people infected do
A．Avoid connecting with each other. B．Get vaccinated as early as possible.
C．Stay at home to reduce the spread. D．Learn to recognize the symptoms.
（ ）35．What does the underlined word “buoyed” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Encouraged. B．Relaxed. C．Astonished. D．Honored.

That morning in September, at a five-kilometer race, I waited for my 11-year-old son at the finish line. He’d run 30:34 at another 5k in late spring, so I 41 he could run a 5k in about 30 minutes. When I didn’t see him at the 35-minute mark, I began to 42 .
It’d already been an 43 morning. About an hour earlier, when we drove into town, my son noticed a lovely tiny green tree cricket （树蟋） in my car. It jumped onto my son’s hand where it stayed so long that we eventually gave it a name: Little Friend.
Minutes before the race, it jumped onto the sidewalk. Maybe it wanted to seek freedom, but this wasn’t a safe place due to the 44 pedestrian traffic. So my son knelt and 45 his hand. Little Friend came back. But I told him he would 46 it during the race.
I ran well and felt thrilled at the finish line. However, that 47 gave way to anxiety when my son didn’t show up. I 48 asking people if they’d seen him. No one had. So I returned to the race headquarters. In my confusion, I didn’t even see him 49 the finish line. But there he was, just ahead of the 45-minute mark, with Little Friend 50 on his right thumb.
My 51 were wrong. My son didn’t run fast, and he didn’t lose Little Friend. These two 52 seemed somehow related. He 53 a cold he was getting over, but I knew it was more than that.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Those are the words of Thomas Alva Edison, one of the greatest 56 (inventor) in the history of the United States.
Edison, who grew up in the Midwest, was 57 (large) self-educated. He earned 1,093 patents in his lifetime, including the lightbulb. Being 58 successful businessman, Edison often reworked existing technology, making it more practical for widespread use.
Edison was born on February 11, 1847, a day that 59 (celebrate) as National Inventors’ Day today. The Thomas Edison Center, which was created in memory of Edison, is at Menlo Park in New Jersey. It is said that the seven years Edison spent at the lab he created in New Jersey were the most 60 (product).
“Menlo Park is the birthplace of 61 (record) sound. It was in Menlo Park 62 Edison invented the phonograph （留声机） in 1877. The invention led to the 30-year-old Ohio native’s international fame. From then on, he was known 63 the “Wizard （奇才） of Menlo Park.”
A phonograph was the first device that was used 64 (reserve) sound. It was the precursor （先驱） to record albums and CDs. The original model had no volume knob （旋钮）, so listeners would have to control the sound by 65 (place) a sock in the machine. That’s where we get the expression “put a sock in it”, which means “stop talking”.

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。
“Jennifer, do you hike ” Karen said to me. “Yes, I hike,” I replied. Karen’s slim figure and sun-kissed cheeks suggested she was a regular hiker.
“Great, do you want to come with us tomorrow We will meet in front of Bobbie’s house at 6:30 before it is too hot, and we will go over to Thunderbird Mountain. It is about three miles in total. Does that sound OK ”
Three miles. I wasn’t sure how long that was, partly because I didn’t actually hike. I was somewhat familiar with the area where they planned to go, but our family had just moved from Oregon to Arizona. I walked our dog around the neighbourhood all the time before we moved here. But I wasn’t sure if I had gone three miles. Being new to town and excited about an invitation from women I wanted to befriend, I accepted, saying, “Sure. That sounds great. We all benefit from hiking.”
When this hiking conversation among my new friends occurred, I was at a monthly dinner for moms in my new neighborhood. The group was four women in their forties, all with high-school kids, jobs, a fondness for reading and music and tricks for simplifying work-life.
I was honored to be invited since making friends in my forties in a new town wasn’t easy. After this re-location for my husband’s career, making friends wasn’t as simple for me as it was for him. He came to the community for a full-time position at a busy university. Our teenaged son and daughter immediately plugged into school through sports and clubs. I was enormously grateful for the ea se of the transition for my family, but nervous for myself. So, while at the monthly ladies’ gathering, when hiking came up, I just played along, wanting to try something new.
The next day, I got up early and carefully selected comfortable hiking clothes. When I arrived at the designated friend’s driveway a little early, Karen was standing there waiting. “Hey, Jennifer, I’m glad that you can come to hike,” she said cheerfully and hugged me. When the others joined us, we started walking. I was sweaty and a little out of breath before we even started going uphill.
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。
“So, where did you hike in Oregon ” one of them asked, offering me a bottle of water. __________________

W: I can’t decide what I want to eat for dinner tonight. Do I feel like Italian food or Thai food Indian or Chinese American or Turkish I don’t need to travel around the world; all these choices are available in a typical inner city in Australia.
Australian food has many different cultural influences. Over the past century, people from many countries have come to Australia. These migrants have contributed to the melting pot that is Australian food.
“Whether you’re after modern, traditional or exotic flavors, Australia’s various dining scene offers a wide range of the world’s great cuisines,” the Visit Victoria website noted.
Chinese students in Australia find it easy to get a Chinese meal. Cities like Sydney have large Chinatowns, but many towns in the country also have a Chinese takeaway restaurant. Popular Australian-Chinese dishes may not always seem the same as the original—honey chicken, for example—but you can still find dumplings and noodles.
Even so, Australia has its own, very Australian dish: meat pie. It’s a real classic! The dish is on the menu at every house party and sporting place, and is eaten every morning after a big night.

本文是一篇记叙文。由唱片学院和格莱美博物馆颁发的音乐教育家奖今年授予了弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯县安南代尔高中的表演艺术系主任兼管弦乐队总监安妮·雷，她因努力让学生，尤其是残疾学生能接触到音乐而受到表彰。
24．B 细节理解题。根据第二段“She got the idea mostly from the Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries, including many refugees and immigrants.”可知，一个社区的文化多样性启发了雷创建了Crescendo Orchestra。
25．C 段落大意题。根据第三段“Ray says the Crescendo Orchestra is focused on teaching students how to play an instrument, through one-on-one instruction tailored to their needs. The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however…”可推断，第三段主要讲述了学生在Crescendo Orchestra能学到什么。
26．D 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘Why I am where I am is because a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,’ she says.”可知，雷的老师促使她成为一名音乐教育工作者。
27．A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“…because not many people understand what exactly music educators do in the classroom or how much their work matters. She says that lack of understanding is one of the biggest challenges facing the profession in general.”可推断，音乐教育工作需要得到别人的理解。
【答案与解析】
本文是一篇说明文。飞蛾和其他飞虫之所以会聚集在灯和火焰前并不是因为它们被这些光线迷住了，而是它们可能不知道飞行的方向。
28．D 细节理解题。根据第二段“…turn their backs to the sky’s light to keep their feet pointing toward the ground. Insects naturally turn their backs to ward light. But when that light is from an artificial source, it may affect their sense of direction, leading to them flying in circles or diving toward the ground.”可知，飞虫自然地背对光飞行是为了追踪地面在哪。
29．A 细节理解题。根据第三段“…Some circled the lights endlessly, and others flew sharply upward, lo sing speed until they couldn’t fly any higher. When the light source pointed up, some insects turned around and headed for the ground. During flight, the insects always kept the lights at their back even if they’d end up crashing. Crash landings…”可知，夜晚的人造光可能会让飞虫找不到路线，陷入危险。
30．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容，尤其“However, in the lab, fruit flies, like oleander hawk moths—which can fly in the dark—could fly over LED lights without being thrown off course.”可推断，作者在最后一段提到夹竹桃鹰蛾的目的是告知也有例外。
31．B 标题判断题。本文主要讲述的是飞蛾和其他飞虫聚集在灯和火焰前是因为这些光线扰乱了它们的飞行路线。故B项适合作本文标题。
【答案与解析】
本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现：埃博拉疫苗rVSV△G-ZEBOV-GP即使是在感染后接种也可以将死亡率降低一半。
32．C 推理判断题。根据第二段内容,尤其是“‘their immune system will recognize the viral protein. This recognition allows the immune system to be prepared to attack the virus and protect the person from Ebola virus disease.’”可推断，Coulborn在第二段主要讲述的是该疫苗是如何产生作用的。
33．D 推理判断题。根据第三段“To figure it out, Coulborn and her colleagues focused their efforts on the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded…”及第四段“‘Every single Ebola health facility across the entire Ebola epidemic had a standardized list of all admissions,’”可推断，刚果第二大埃博拉疫情的相关数据记载比较详细。
34．B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Additionally, those who’d been vaccinated had less virus circulating in their bodies than those who hadn’t. So, the vaccine played an important role.”及最后一段可知，Coulborn可能会建议感染的人尽早接受疫苗。
35．A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后“…since they offer clear evidence that people who’re at risk of contracting Ebola should be vaccinated early.”可推断，画线词与Encouraged的意思相同。
【答案与解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何制定职业启动计划。
36．F 根据空后“Therefore, a career launch plan is your survival guide, helping you avoid the traps and seize the right opportunities.”可知，F项“就业市场可能是一片丛林，尤其是当你刚开始工作的时候”符合。
37．A 该空是段落主题句。根据该段大意“如果你要规划好你的旅行路线，你会怎么做？你不只是随机移动；你有意识地知道你想去哪里、你想实现什么。职业计划也一样。它包括列出具体的、可实现的目标，为你的职业轨迹指明方向”可知，A项“设定你的目标”符合。
38．E 根据空前“Sign up for courses, pursue certifications, or gain hands-on experience to enhance your skill set.”可知，E项“这样做，你基本上是在提高你的技巧”符合。
39．D 根据空前“Your approach to job applications should be more like a precision strike than a messy explosion of arrows in all directions.”可知，D项“为了实现这一点，制定一个系统的方法来找工作”符合。

第一节
One possible version:
To promote the appreciation and understanding of classical Chinese literature among students, an Ancient Poetry Recitation Competition was held last Saturday in the school hall, attracting great attention of all the teachers and students.
Weeks before the competition, all the participants, immersed in the preparation for it, went to great lengths to practice their recitations and perfect their expressions.
On the big day, participants took to the stage with great confidence. The judges were deeply impressed by the students’ performance. And the first, second, and third prizes were all announced. It was a day that highlighted the beauty of our ancient literature and the talent of us students.
第二节
One possible version:
“So, where did you hike in Oregon ” one of them asked, offering me a bottle of water. “Well, uh, I mainly walked a lot. Actually, we lived in the suburbs, so we were in a neighborhood in southwest Portland with sidewalks, and…” Seeing my embarrassment, Karen saved me by saying, “There are all kinds of hikes, which are all beneficial to us.” Along the path, we talked about our families, jobs and dogs. We shared concerns about our kids in school with sports, grades, or significant others.
By accepting the invitation to hike that day, I received a lot. On the one hand, I stretched myself. On the other hand, I made amazing new friends. Being new to an unfamiliar environment was uneasy, but as long as you tried, there was always someone willing to be open to you. I imagine I will always remain connected to these lovely women who led me into their circle. I also feel confident that there are some other hikers, more great friends I’ve yet to meet and love simply by agreeing to try something new.

This year, the Music Educator Award, presented by the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum, went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. She attended the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and brought home both a $10,000 prize and matching grant （资助） for her school’s music program.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their children. She got the idea mostly from the Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries, including many refugees and immigrants. “There’re many cultures that might typically clash, but they come together in this very beautiful harmony,” Ray explained. “And that’s really uniquely expressed in the orchestra classroom, where we’re just all music-ing together.”
Ray says the Crescendo Orchestra is focused on teaching students how to play an instrument, through one-on-one instruction tailored to their needs. The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however. “I really push my students to be brave and go outside of their comfort zone. We have to learn how to work together with others,” she says.
Ray, who comes from a family of musicians and has played the harp （竖琴） since the age of five, knows firsthand the impact that a great teacher can make on their students. “Why I am where I am is because a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she says.
Ray says her warm reception on the awards ceremony is especially meaningful because not many people understand what exactly music educators do in the classroom or how much their work matters. She says that lack of understanding is one of the biggest challenges facing the profession in general. Moreover, she says her school desperately needs new instruments, and adds that she’ll use some of her grant money to buy more.
（ ）24．What mainly inspired Ray to create the Crescendo Orchestra
A．The effect of some caregivers. B．The diversity of a community.
C．The harmony of the disabled. D．The rich culture of her school.
（ ）25．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Who are influenced by music. B．How the Crescendo Orchestra develops.
C．What students can learn. D．Why students need special instruction.
（ ）26．How was Ray influenced by her teacher
A．She funded some students. B．She fought against her family.
C．She began learning the harp. D．She chose to be a music educator.
（ ）27．What can be learned from what Ray says in the last paragraph
A．Music education needs to be appreciated. B．She badly wants donations for instruments.
C．The administration offers no support. D．She is often challenged by musicians.
C
People have long watched moths （飞蛾） and other flying insects flock to streetlamps, lights and flames. These insects appear attracted by the light. But a new study suggests they may just lose track of which way is up.
Previous theories say light probably blinds flying insects so that they get trapped by the light, or maybe they interpret light at night as a place to fly for a quick escape. Now the new study suggests flying insects instead turn their backs to the sky’s light to keep their feet pointing toward the ground. Insects naturally turn their backs toward light. But when that light is from an artificial source, it may affect their sense of direction, leading to them flying in circles or diving toward the ground.
At a field station in Costa Rica, Samuel Fabian, an entomologist from Imperial College London in England and his teammates set up hanging and standing lights, and then used high-speed cameras to track wild, flying insects including moths and flies. Some circled the lights endlessly, and others flew sharply upward, losing speed until they couldn’t fly any higher. When the light source pointed up, some insects turned around and headed for the ground. During the flight, the insects always kept the lights at their back even if they’d end up crashing. Crash landings were common when the team lit up a white sheet on the floor. But not when a white sheet—stretched into a height above the floor—was bathed in diffuse （漫射） light, much as the sky would be, insects flew through the area without getting trapped by the light.
The team also observed some species in a lab. Moths and dragonflies generally behaved like the wild insects, and they kept the light at their backs. However, in the lab, fruit flies, like oleander hawk moths—which can fly in the dark—could fly over LED lights without being thrown off course. In the wild, though, the moths still crashed. Maybe this is because, Fabian says, the insects can sometimes control their response to light, or over time, they might learn to avoid artificial light.
（ ）28．Why do insects naturally turn their backs toward light
A．To get close to the light. B．To escape being caught quickly.
C．To protect their feet better. D．To track where the ground is.
（ ）29．What did the researchers find during the new study
A．Artificial light at night could put insects on a crash course.
B．Artificial light signaled an escape route for the insects.
C．The insects had a better sense of direction.
D．The insects were flying toward the light.
（ ）30．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning oleander hawk moths
A．To stress the importance of the study. B．To prove the previous theory.
C．To tell the existence of the exception. D．To explain the flight pattern.
（ ）31．What could be the best title for the text
A．Artificial Light Makes Insects More Adaptable B．Insects May Lose Track near Artificial Light
C．The Ways to Get Rid of Light Pollution D．Insects Learn to Fly for a Quick Escape
D
The Ebola virus is an infectious disease that for years had almost no treatments, and it kill s about half the people it infects. Now a new study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases shows that a promising vaccine （疫苗）, named rVSV△G-ZEBOV-GP, doesn’t just help to reduce infections, it also can cut those death numbers in half.
The vaccine is a single-dose （单剂） muscular one that causes cells to produce one of the virus’s proteins. “Later, if the person is exposed to Ebola,”explains Rebecca Coulborn, a scientist with Epicentre, the medical research arm of Doctors Without Borders, “their immune system will recognize the viral protein. This recognition allows the immune system to be prepared to attack the virus and protect the person from Ebola virus disease.”
Researchers showed rVSV△G-ZEBOV-GP was effective at reducing the risk of infection, but no one knew how capable it was of preventing death in someone who was vaccinated after becoming infected during an epidemic （流行病）. To figure it out, Coulborn and her colleagues focused their efforts on the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded, which occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 2018 and 2020.
“Every single Ebola health facility across the entire Ebola epidemic had a standardized list of all admissions,” says Coulborn. This list included 2,279 confirmed Ebola patients, and it recorded whether or not each person had been vaccinated before they got sick—and if so, when they’d received the vaccine.
Coulborn found the death rate was 56% among the unvaccinated. But for those who’d received the vaccine, that rate was cut in half. This was true no matter when someone got vaccinated before the appearance of symptoms. Additionally, those who’d been vaccinated had less virus circulating in their bodies than those who hadn’t. So the vaccine played an important role.
Rebecca Coulborn says she feels buoyed by the results—since they offer clear evidence that people who’re at risk of contracting Ebola should be vaccinated early. It’s an opportunity to cut chains of transmission （传播） and prevent an outbreak before it gains speed.
（ ）32．What is Coulborn trying to talk about concerning the vaccine in paragraph 2
A．Who it attacks. B．Why it is developed. C．How it works. D．Where it comes from.
（ ）33．Coulborn’s team chose the second largest Ebola outbreak in Congo because ______.
A．it listed health facilities B．it was easy to analyze
C．it caused the fewest deaths D．it had a detailed record
（ ）34．What did Coulborn probably suggest people infected do
A．Avoid connecting with each other. B．Get vaccinated as early as possible.
C．Stay at home to reduce the spread. D．Learn to recognize the symptoms.
（ ）35．What does the underlined word “buoyed” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Encouraged. B．Relaxed. C．Astonished. D．Honored.

That morning in September, at a five-kilometer race, I waited for my 11-year-old son at the finish line. He’d run 30:34 at another 5k in late spring, so I 41 he could run a 5k in about 30 minutes. When I didn’t see him at the 35-minute mark, I began to 42 .
It’d already been an 43 morning. About an hour earlier, when we drove into town, my son noticed a lovely tiny green tree cricket （树蟋） in my car. It jumped onto my son’s hand where it stayed so long that we eventually gave it a name: Little Friend.
Minutes before the race, it jumped onto the sidewalk. Maybe it wanted to seek freedom, but this wasn’t a safe place due to the 44 pedestrian traffic. So my son knelt and 45 his hand. Little Friend came back. But I told him he would 46 it during the race.
I ran well and felt thrilled at the finish line. However, that 47 gave way to anxiety when my son didn’t show up. I 48 asking people if they’d seen him. No one had. So I returned to the race headquarters. In my confusion, I didn’t even see him 49 the finish line. But there he was, just ahead of the 45-minute mark, with Little Friend 50 on his right thumb.
My 51 were wrong. My son didn’t run fast, and he didn’t lose Little Friend. These two 52 seemed somehow related. He 53 a cold he was getting over, but I knew it was more than that.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Those are the words of Thomas Alva Edison, one of the greatest 56 (inventor) in the history of the United States.
Edison, who grew up in the Midwest, was 57 (large) self-educated. He earned 1,093 patents in his lifetime, including the lightbulb. Being 58 successful businessman, Edison often reworked existing technology, making it more practical for widespread use.
Edison was born on February 11, 1847, a day that 59 (celebrate) as National Inventors’ Day today. The Thomas Edison Center, which was created in memory of Edison, is at Menlo Park in New Jersey. It is said that the seven years Edison spent at the lab he created in New Jersey were the most 60 (product).
“Menlo Park is the birthplace of 61 (record) sound. It was in Menlo Park 62 Edison invented the phonograph （留声机） in 1877. The invention led to the 30-year-old Ohio native’s international fame. From then on, he was known 63 the “Wizard （奇才） of Menlo Park.”
A phonograph was the first device that was used 64 (reserve) sound. It was the precursor （先驱） to record albums and CDs. The original model had no volume knob （旋钮）, so listeners would have to control the sound by 65 (place) a sock in the machine. That’s where we get the expression “put a sock in it”, which means “stop talking”.

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。
“Jennifer, do you hike ” Karen said to me. “Yes, I hike,” I replied. Karen’s slim figure and sun-kissed cheeks suggested she was a regular hiker.
“Great, do you want to come with us tomorrow We will meet in front of Bobbie’s house at 6:30 before it is too hot, and we will go over to Thunderbird Mountain. It is about three miles in total. Does that sound OK ”
Three miles. I wasn’t sure how long that was, partly because I didn’t actually hike. I was somewhat familiar with the area where they planned to go, but our family had just moved from Oregon to Arizona. I walked our dog around the neighbourhood all the time before we moved here. But I wasn’t sure if I had gone three miles. Being new to town and excited about an invitation from women I wanted to befriend, I accepted, saying, “Sure. That sounds great. We all benefit from hiking.”
When this hiking conversation among my new friends occurred, I was at a monthly dinner for moms in my new neighborhood. The group was four women in their forties, all with high-school kids, jobs, a fondness for reading and music and tricks for simplifying work-life.
I was honored to be invited since making friends in my forties in a new town wasn’t easy. After this re-location for my husband’s career, making friends wasn’t as simple for me as it was for him. He came to the community for a full-time position at a busy university. Our teenaged son and daughter immediately plugged into school through sports and clubs. I was enormously grateful for the ea se of the transition for my family, but nervous for myself. So, while at the monthly ladies’ gathering, when hiking came up, I just played along, wanting to try something new.
The next day, I got up early and carefully selected comfortable hiking clothes. When I arrived at the designated friend’s driveway a little early, Karen was standing there waiting. “Hey, Jennifer, I’m glad that you can come to hike,” she said cheerfully and hugged me. When the others joined us, we started walking. I was sweaty and a little out of breath before we even started going uphill.
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。
“So, where did you hike in Oregon ” one of them asked, offering me a bottle of water. __________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
By accepting the invitation to hike that day, I received a lot. ________________________________________

W: I can’t decide what I want to eat for dinner tonight. Do I feel like Italian food or Thai food Indian or Chinese American or Turkish I don’t need to travel around the world; all these choices are available in a typical inner city in Australia.
Australian food has many different cultural influences. Over the past century, people from many countries have come to Australia. These migrants have contributed to the melting pot that is Australian food.
“Whether you’re after modern, traditional or exotic flavors, Australia’s various dining scene offers a wide range of the world’s great cuisines,” the Visit Victoria website noted.
Chinese students in Australia find it easy to get a Chinese meal. Cities like Sydney have large Chinatowns, but many towns in the country also have a Chinese takeaway restaurant. Popular Australian-Chinese dishes may not always seem the same as the original—honey chicken, for example—but you can still find dumplings and noodles.
Even so, Australia has its own, very Australian dish: meat pie. It’s a real classic! The dish is on the menu at every house party and sporting place, and is eaten every morning after a big night.

28．D 细节理解题。根据第二段“…turn their backs to the sky’s light to keep their feet pointing toward the ground. Insects naturally turn their backs to ward light. But when that light is from an artificial source, it may affect their sense of direction, leading to them flying in circles or diving toward the ground.”可知，飞虫自然地背对光飞行是为了追踪地面在哪。
29．A 细节理解题。根据第三段“…Some circled the lights endlessly, and others flew sharply upward, lo sing speed until they couldn’t fly any higher. When the light source pointed up, some insects turned around and headed for the ground. During flight, the insects always kept the lights at their back even if they’d end up crashing.

第一节
One possible version:
To promote the appreciation and understanding of classical Chinese literature among students, an Ancient Poetry Recitation Competition was held last Saturday in the school hall, attracting great attention of all the teachers and students.
Weeks before the competition, all the participants, immersed in the preparation for it, went to great lengths to practice their recitations and perfect their expressions.
On the big day, participants took to the stage with great confidence. The judges were deeply impressed by the students’ performance. And the first, second, and third prizes were all announced. It was a day that highlighted the beauty of our ancient literature and the talent of us students.
第二节
One possible version:
“So, where did you hike in Oregon ” one of them asked, offering me a bottle of water. “Well, uh, I mainly walked a lot. Actually, we lived in the suburbs, so we were in a neighborhood in southwest Portland with sidewalks, and…” Seeing my embarrassment, Karen saved me by saying, “There are all kinds of hikes, which are all beneficial to us.” Along the path, we talked about our families, jobs and dogs. We shared concerns about our kids in school with sports, grades, or significant others.
By accepting the invitation to hike that day, I received a lot. On the one hand, I stretched myself. On the other hand, I made amazing new friends. Being new to an unfamiliar environment was uneasy, but as long as you tried, there was always someone willing to be open to you. I imagine I will always remain connected to these lovely women who led me into their circle. I also feel confident that there are some other hikers, more great friends I’ve yet to meet and love simply by agreeing to try something new.
