第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分40分)
第一节(共15小题:每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Preschooler or grade-schooler Start saving early
It’s never too early to start saving for college. One way to get a jump is to use college savings plans like the 529 or Coverdell to start a pool of money to draw from later. You can open an account while your student is a child. And with an account like a 529, the money can be invested to grow tax-free, as long as it’s used for qualified education expenses.
Early high school Time to check those expectations
Setting realistic expectations with your high schooler is an important part of the college readiness timeline. In fact, you can start talking about college and the future when your student is in junior high. Even if you have college savings to help pay for college—or most of your savings—speaking with your student about expectations is important
.High school junior Apply for scholarships and financial aid
The time to start applying for scholarships is during your student’s junior year of high school. Sports, music, performance, and clubs can enhance an application along with grades. It can help create a general essay that can be adjusted for each scholarship. Put together a résumé that includes activities, jobs, and accomplishments. Don’t forget to fill out a CSS profile with the college board. Some schools and other organizations use the CSS profile for outstanding scholarship applications
.Federal financial aid
In order to qualify for federal financial aid, including grants (助学金) and student loans, it’s important to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Your student should fill out their first FAFSA in October of their senior year of high school. The FAFSA should be updated and submitted every subsequent year in October to keep the information up to date and to receive ongoing federal financial aid.
Other opportunities to hold back the costs … or add to them
When planning ahead for college, it’s also important to consider other opportunities and expect the unexpected. Some additional opportunities to consider while your high schooler is a junior or senior include:
Study abroad. If there’s a chance for your student to take a semester or year abroad, that can be a good experience, but it might also require extra paperwork and additional costs.
Additional education. Some schools might offer additional certifications on top of regular degree coursework. A special certification might require a summer semester that might not be included in the traditional financial aid award.
Longer time in school. Not every student will finish in the traditional four-year time frame. Changing majors, double majors, and extracurricular (课外的) activities can extend your student’s time in school.
…
21．What does the underlined part in Para.1 refer to
A．College savings plan. B．Scholarship application method.
C．Education savings account. D．Educational certification agency.
22．What do you need to do first if you want to get federal financial aid
A．To update your materials. B．To apply for scholarships.
C．To contact the government. D．To fill out the free application.
23．What does the author want to tell the readers to do
A．To plan a brand-new college life.
B．To think ahead about the cost of college.
C．To work to make money as early as possible.
D．To think about the significance of major choices.

On a sunny morning, I walked casually through the park, savoring the gentle breeze, with the simple desire to locate a quiet spot for a good book. Little did I know that an unexpected encounter with a naughty creature would turn this peaceful outing into an unforgettable experience.
Settling down on a comfortable bench under an oak tree, I was fascinated by a novel, lost in a world of fictional characters. Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted me. Curiously, I glanced in the direction of the noise, only to discover a squirrel hurrying towards my bag. Immediately, I reached out to protect my bag from the thief. But the squirrel ran away, grasping a chocolate bar stolen from my bag. Fueled by determination to get my. snack back, I gave chase to the creature through the park.
The squirrel displayed impressive flexibility, effortlessly jumping onto trees and leaping from branch to branch. Children and bystanders couldn’t help but laugh at the spectacle of a grown adult chasing a squirrel. The chase continued , and as I ran after the squirrel, I became both exhausted and awkward. The peacefulness of the park transformed into a lively playground, with laughter echoing around us. The squirrel, seemingly aware of its comical effect, increased its speed and finally vanished into thin air.
As I made my way back to the bench, my heart still raced from the pursuit. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of companionship with the squirrel. It had reminded me to embrace the unexpected, to break free from routine, and most importantly, to find joy in life’s simplest pleasures. From that day forward, whenever I visit the park, I always keep a chocolate bar handy, just in case I come across my friend.
24．What did the author want to do in the park

In the late 1990s, two psychology researchers, were talking about how the female scientists in their lab responded differently to stress than the men did. The men would disappear into their offices; the women would bring cookies to lab meetings and bond over coffee. Forget fight-or-flight, they joked. The women were tending and befriending.
The joke stuck in the mind of one of the women, researcher Laura Cousino Klein. Psychology research has suggested that stress leads to aggression, but that wasn’t her experience. Women were more likely to want to talk with someone about their stress, spend time with their loved ones, or channel their stress into caring for others. She wondered if it was possible that science had gotten stress wrong.
Klein dug deeper into the science, and she made the surprising discovery that 90 percent of the published research on stress was conducted on males. So Klein studied the social side of stress, especially in women. Looking at both animal and human research, she found evidence that stress can increase caring, cooperation, and compassion (同情).
While the tend-and-befriend theory began as an investigation into the female response to stress, it quickly expanded to include men. In times of stress, both men and women have been shown to become more trusting, generous, and willing to protect others.
The tend-and-befriend theory doesn’t say that stress always leads to caring—stress can indeed make us angry and defensive. It simply says that stress can make people more caring. And when we care for others, it activates systems of our brain that produce feelings of hope and courage.
I wrote my book The Upside of Stress with that purpose in mind: to help you discover your own strength and compassion. Seeing the upside of stress is not about deciding whether stress is either good or bad. It’s about how choosing to see the good in stress can help you meet the challenges in your life. Tending and befriending is one of the best ways to do this, and to transform your own stress into a catalyst(催化剂) for courage and connection.
28．What does the joke in paragraph I show
A．Male scientists are smarter than female scientists.
B．Female scientists are friendlier than male scientists.
C．Men tend to seek a temporary escape from pressure.
D．Women care for each other when they are under stress.
29．Why did Laura keep the joke in her mind
A．It didn’t fit with her life experience.
B．It had the same topic as her new book.
C．It went against previous psychology research.
D．It indicated the inequalities between women and men.
30．What do we know about the tend-and-befriend theory
A．It is applicable to both men and women. B．It suggests stress always leads to caring.
C．It proves the fight-or-flight response wrong. D．It shows men are more defensive than women.
31．What does the author’s book aim to do
A．Provide evidence for her research.
B．Explain the fight-or-flight response.
C．Make suggestions on how to respond to stress positively.
D．Demonstrate women’s and men’s different responses to stress.
D
Nature has the power to alter an element’s identity with time and space. This is evident by the transformative effect Britain’s deep coal mines have been showing after decades of being one of the biggest reasons for pollution. Now, they’re being employed to supply green energy to the town of Gateshead. The town is the first place to experience something like this in the country, but the success of the phenomenon has encouraged the authorities to apply it to other towns.
In 2021, coal was just producing 2% of electricity in the UK. Most of the electricity in the country is being supplied through oil and gas. This has resulted in massive abandoned coal mines all across the country. As years went by, these mines were flooded with water, making it a source of geothermal（地热的） energy, which is used to generate heat and electricity. Gateshead hosts such a mine in its town, whose council, therefore, launched a mine water project in March 2023.
The authorities put in a large central heat pump in the mine. Mine water can often sit with a temperature of 45℃. The water is then pumped using appliances to home heat pumps. The process increases the temperature further. The water then goes ahead and warms up the interior space and home water supply. After the heat from the water has been used, it’s sent back to the mine where it again goes through the same process. The project has been successful in supplying low-carbon heating to 350 high-rise buildings, a college and several office buildings.
“Recovering heat from mine water below the ground within abandoned coal mines provides an exciting opportunity to generate a low-carbon secure supply of heat, benefitting people living or working in buildings on the coalfields,” said Gareth Farr, head of heat and by-product innovation at the Coal Authority.
The water resources through the mines are estimated to be two billion cubic meters or half the amount of water in Loch Ness. Farr added, “With many millions of people living upon abandoned coalfields in Great Britain, the potential for mine water heat could be significant.”
32．What does the town of Gateshead feature
A．It’s been one of the most heavily polluted areas. B．It has the most deep coal mines nationally.
C．It mainly relies on geothermal energy. D．It is the first one to reuse abandoned coal mines.
33．Why were many coal mines abandoned in the UK
A．They were quite remote. B．Prices of coal declined a lot.
C．There weren’t enough miners. D．The UK prioritizes cleaner energy.
34．What is implied in the last paragraph
A．The number of abandoned coal mines is stably increasing.
B．The future of sourcing energy from coal mines is promising.
C．The dependence on water resources in the UK is decreasing.
D．The technique to take advantage of mine water is impressive.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．An innovative way to obtain green energy. B．A method of living in harmony with nature.
C．A national project for abandoned facilities. D．A discussion on the future of coal mines.

M: Sure, what’s up
W: Well, I have to get my little Ferguson some medicine.
M: Oh, is everything all right
W: Yes, of course. It’s not like he’s sick or anything. I give him medicine every month as part of his regular care so he doesn’t get any diseases from insects or other dogs.
M: Oh, right. I do that for Fargo too.
W: Yeah, that was what I was going to ask you about. Where do you buy your dog’s medicine I asked my vet and she told me the prices. I almost dropped dead right there.
M: Yeah, unfortunately most special pet stores sell them at fixed prices that are set by the companies that make them. You can usually find discounts of ten or fifteen percent for a lot of those stores though.
W: Well, that’s not a huge help for something that’s two hundred dollars per year. Isn’t there any other way
M: Well, you can order some medicines from websites that are based in other countries where the prices are lower.

【原文】
I’ve been living alone in London for a while now. Everybody here is very kind to me, but there are times when I feel homesick and get rather sad. It’s bound to happen when you live far from home. I sometimes get a little tired of cooking meals just for myself. Once a week I go to Soho. Soho is a part of London where there are all sorts of restaurants: French, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Indian, and Chinese. So, when I don’t want to cook, I will go to one of the restaurants in Soho and have a meal there. Sometimes I even treat myself to a bottle of wine. Wine isn’t cheap in London — at least not when you buy it at a restaurant. It isn’t something we drink every day.
British people do not talk as much as we do. They are more reserved. I’ve often traveled by train and noticed that people seldom chat with each other during the journey. They like to keep themselves to themselves. A British friend of mine, who can speak seven languages, is also quite a quiet person. But I’ve found one way to make him talk. He’s very interested in mountain climbing. If I ask him about climbing, he’s always ready to talk. When it comes to that subject, he suddenly opens up.

第一节(共15小题:每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Preschooler or grade-schooler Start saving early
It’s never too early to start saving for college. One way to get a jump is to use college savings plans like the 529 or Coverdell to start a pool of money to draw from later. You can open an account while your student is a child. And with an account like a 529, the money can be invested to grow tax-free, as long as it’s used for qualified education expenses.
Early high school Time to check those expectations
Setting realistic expectations with your high schooler is an important part of the college readiness timeline. In fact, you can start talking about college and the future when your student is in junior high. Even if you have college savings to help pay for college—or most of your savings—speaking with your student about expectations is important
.High school junior Apply for scholarships and financial aid
The time to start applying for scholarships is during your student’s junior year of high school. Sports, music, performance, and clubs can enhance an application along with grades. It can help create a general essay that can be adjusted for each scholarship. Put together a résumé that includes activities, jobs, and accomplishments. Don’t forget to fill out a CSS profile with the college board. Some schools and other organizations use the CSS profile for outstanding scholarship applications
.Federal financial aid
In order to qualify for federal financial aid, including grants (助学金) and student loans, it’s important to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Your student should fill out their first FAFSA in October of their senior year of high school. The FAFSA should be updated and submitted every subsequent year in October to keep the information up to date and to receive ongoing federal financial aid.
Other opportunities to hold back the costs … or add to them
When planning ahead for college, it’s also important to consider other opportunities and expect the unexpected. Some additional opportunities to consider while your high schooler is a junior or senior include:
Study abroad. If there’s a chance for your student to take a semester or year abroad, that can be a good experience, but it might also require extra paperwork and additional costs.
Additional education. Some schools might offer additional certifications on top of regular degree coursework. A special certification might require a summer semester that might not be included in the traditional financial aid award.
Longer time in school. Not every student will finish in the traditional four-year time frame. Changing majors, double majors, and extracurricular (课外的) activities can extend your student’s time in school.
…
21．What does the underlined part in Para.1 refer to
A．College savings plan. B．Scholarship application method.
C．Education savings account. D．Educational certification agency.
22．What do you need to do first if you want to get federal financial aid
A．To update your materials. B．To apply for scholarships.
C．To contact the government. D．To fill out the free application.
23．What does the author want to tell the readers to do
A．To plan a brand-new college life.
B．To think ahead about the cost of college.
C．To work to make money as early as possible.
D．To think about the significance of major choices.

On a sunny morning, I walked casually through the park, savoring the gentle breeze, with the simple desire to locate a quiet spot for a good book. Little did I know that an unexpected encounter with a naughty creature would turn this peaceful outing into an unforgettable experience.
Settling down on a comfortable bench under an oak tree, I was fascinated by a novel, lost in a world of fictional characters. Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted me. Curiously, I glanced in the direction of the noise, only to discover a squirrel hurrying towards my bag. Immediately, I reached out to protect my bag from the thief. But the squirrel ran away, grasping a chocolate bar stolen from my bag. Fueled by determination to get my. snack back, I gave chase to the creature through the park.
The squirrel displayed impressive flexibility, effortlessly jumping onto trees and leaping from branch to branch. Children and bystanders couldn’t help but laugh at the spectacle of a grown adult chasing a squirrel. The chase continued , and as I ran after the squirrel, I became both exhausted and awkward. The peacefulness of the park transformed into a lively playground, with laughter echoing around us. The squirrel, seemingly aware of its comical effect, increased its speed and finally vanished into thin air.
As I made my way back to the bench, my heart still raced from the pursuit. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of companionship with the squirrel. It had reminded me to embrace the unexpected, to break free from routine, and most importantly, to find joy in life’s simplest pleasures.

In the late 1990s, two psychology researchers, were talking about how the female scientists in their lab responded differently to stress than the men did. The men would disappear into their offices; the women would bring cookies to lab meetings and bond over coffee. Forget fight-or-flight, they joked. The women were tending and befriending.
The joke stuck in the mind of one of the women, researcher Laura Cousino Klein. Psychology research has suggested that stress leads to aggression, but that wasn’t her experience. Women were more likely to want to talk with someone about their stress, spend time with their loved ones, or channel their stress into caring for others. She wondered if it was possible that science had gotten stress wrong.
Klein dug deeper into the science, and she made the surprising discovery that 90 percent of the published research on stress was conducted on males. So Klein studied the social side of stress, especially in women. Looking at both animal and human research, she found evidence that stress can increase caring, cooperation, and compassion (同情).
While the tend-and-befriend theory began as an investigation into the female response to stress, it quickly expanded to include men. In times of stress, both men and women have been shown to become more trusting, generous, and willing to protect others.
The tend-and-befriend theory doesn’t say that stress always leads to caring—stress can indeed make us angry and defensive. It simply says that stress can make people more caring. And when we care for others, it activates systems of our brain that produce feelings of hope and courage.
I wrote my book The Upside of Stress with that purpose in mind: to help you discover your own strength and compassion. Seeing the upside of stress is not about deciding whether stress is either good or bad. It’s about how choosing to see the good in stress can help you meet the challenges in your life. Tending and befriending is one of the best ways to do this, and to transform your own stress into a catalyst(催化剂) for courage and connection.
28．What does the joke in paragraph I show
A．Male scientists are smarter than female scientists.
B．Female scientists are friendlier than male scientists.
C．Men tend to seek a temporary escape from pressure.
D．Women care for each other when they are under stress.
29．Why did Laura keep the joke in her mind
A．It didn’t fit with her life experience.
B．It had the same topic as her new book.
C．It went against previous psychology research.
D．It indicated the inequalities between women and men.
30．What do we know about the tend-and-befriend theory
A．It is applicable to both men and women. B．It suggests stress always leads to caring.
C．It proves the fight-or-flight response wrong. D．It shows men are more defensive than women.
31．What does the author’s book aim to do
A．Provide evidence for her research.
B．Explain the fight-or-flight response.
C．Make suggestions on how to respond to stress positively.
D．Demonstrate women’s and men’s different responses to stress.
【答案】28．D 29．C 30．A 31．C
【导语】本文是说明文。女性在面临压力时会互相关心，这种“照顾与友善”理论同样适用于男性。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The men would disappear into their offices; the women would bring cookies to lab meetings and bond over coffee. Forget fight-or-flight, they joked. The women were tending and befriending.(这些人会消失在他们的办公室里。女人们会带着饼干参加实验室会议，并通过咖啡增进感情。她们开玩笑说，忘记战斗或逃跑吧。妇女们在照顾和友善。)”可推知，第一段中的笑话说明了女性在面临压力时会互相关心。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“The joke stuck in the mind of one of the women, researcher Laura Cousino Klein. Psychology research has suggested that stress leads to aggression, but that wasn’t her experience..(这个笑话深深地印在了其中一位女性研究员劳拉·库西诺·克莱因 (Laura Cousino Klein) 的脑海中。心理学研究表明压力会导致攻击性，但她的经历并非如此。)”可知，劳拉把这个笑话记在了心里是因为它与之前的心理学研究很不同，它违背了之前的心理学研究。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段“While the tend-and-befriend theory began as an investigation into the female response to stress, it quickly expanded to include men. In times of stress, both men and women have been shown to become more trusting, generous, and willing to protect others.(虽然“照顾与交友”理论最初是为了研究女性对压力的反应，但它很快就扩展到包括男性。在压力时期，男性和女性都会变得更加信任、慷慨并愿意保护他人。)”可知，“照顾与友善”理论适用于男性和女性。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I wrote my book The Upside of Stress with that purpose in mind: to help you discover your own strength and compassion. Seeing the upside of stress is not about deciding whether stress is either good or bad. It’s about how choosing to see the good in stress can help you meet the challenges in your life. Tending and befriending is one of the best ways to do this, and to transform your own stress into a catalyst( 催化剂 ) for courage and connection.(我写《压力的好处》一书就是为了这个目的：帮助你发现自己的力量和同情心。看到压力的好处并不是要决定压力是好还是坏。这是关于如何选择在压力中看到好处可以帮助您应对生活中的挑战。照顾和交友是最好的方法之一，并将你自己的压力转化为勇气和联系的催化剂。)”可推知，作者写这本书的目的是就如何积极应对压力提出建议。故选C。
D
Nature has the power to alter an element’s identity with time and space. This is evident by the transformative effect Britain’s deep coal mines have been showing after decades of being one of the biggest reasons for pollution. Now, they’re being employed to supply green energy to the town of Gateshead. The town is the first place to experience something like this in the country, but the success of the phenomenon has encouraged the authorities to apply it to other towns.
In 2021, coal was just producing 2% of electricity in the UK. Most of the electricity in the country is being supplied through oil and gas. This has resulted in massive abandoned coal mines all across the country. As years went by, these mines were flooded with water, making it a source of geothermal（地热的） energy, which is used to generate heat and electricity. Gateshead hosts such a mine in its town, whose council, therefore, launched a mine water project in March 2023.
The authorities put in a large central heat pump in the mine. Mine water can often sit with a temperature of 45℃. The water is then pumped using appliances to home heat pumps. The process increases the temperature further. The water then goes ahead and warms up the interior space and home water supply. After the heat from the water has been used, it’s sent back to the mine where it again goes through the same process. The project has been successful in supplying low-carbon heating to 350 high-rise buildings, a college and several office buildings.
“Recovering heat from mine water below the ground within abandoned coal mines provides an exciting opportunity to generate a low-carbon secure supply of heat, benefitting people living or working in buildings on the coalfields,” said Gareth Farr, head of heat and by-product innovation at the Coal Authority.
The water resources through the mines are estimated to be two billion cubic meters or half the amount of water in Loch Ness. Farr added, “With many millions of people living upon abandoned coalfields in Great Britain, the potential for mine water heat could be significant.”
32．What does the town of Gateshead feature
A．It’s been one of the most heavily polluted areas. B．It has the most deep coal mines nationally.
C．It mainly relies on geothermal energy. D．It is the first one to reuse abandoned coal mines.
33．Why were many coal mines abandoned in the UK
A．They were quite remote. B．Prices of coal declined a lot.
C．There weren’t enough miners. D．The UK prioritizes cleaner energy.
34．What is implied in the last paragraph
A．The number of abandoned coal mines is stably increasing.
B．The future of sourcing energy from coal mines is promising.
C．The dependence on water resources in the UK is decreasing.
D．The technique to take advantage of mine water is impressive.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．An innovative way to obtain green energy. B．A method of living in harmony with nature.
C．A national project for abandoned facilities. D．A discussion on the future of coal mines.
【答案】32．D 33．D 34．B 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是英国利用废弃煤矿来供应绿色能源，通过从地热水中获取热能来取暖和发电。这项创新方法已在Gateshead镇成功实施，对其他城镇也具有潜力。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, they’re being employed to supply green energy to the town of Gateshead. The town is the first place to experience something like this in the country, but the success of the phenomenon has encouraged the authorities to apply it to other towns.(现在，他们受雇为盖茨黑德镇提供绿色能源。该镇是全国第一个体验到这种现象的地方，但这种现象的成功促使当局将其应用到其他城镇)”可知，该镇是全英国第一个重新利用废弃煤矿的国家。故选D。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2021, coal was just producing 2% of electricity in the UK. Most of the electricity in the country is being supplied through oil and gas. This has resulted in massive abandoned coal mines all across the country. (2021年，煤炭仅占英国电力的2%。这个国家的大部分电力是通过石油和天然气供应的。这导致了全国各地大量的废弃煤矿)”可知，由于英国优先发展清洁能源，导致了全国各地大量的废弃煤矿。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The water resources through the mines are estimated to be two billion cubic meters or half the amount of water in Loch Ness. Farr added, “With many millions of people living upon abandoned coalfields in Great Britain, the potential for mine water heat could be significant.”(据估计，通过这些矿山开采的水资源约为20亿立方米，相当于尼斯湖水量的一半。法尔补充说：“在英国，有数百万人生活在废弃的煤田里，矿井热水的潜力可能是巨大的。”)”可知，矿山开采的水资源数量巨大并且矿井热水的潜力可能是巨大的即从煤矿中获取能源的未来是有希望的。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“This is evident by the transformative effect Britain’s deep coal mines have been showing after decades of being one of the biggest reasons for pollution. Now, they’re being employed to supply green energy to the town of Gateshead. The town is the first place to experience something like this in the country, but the success of the phenomenon has encouraged the authorities to apply it to other towns.( 这一点在英国深层煤矿显示出了转变的效果，几十年来它们一直是污染的主要原因之一。现在，它们被用来为Gateshead镇提供绿色能源。这个镇是整个英国第一个经历这样一种现象的地方，但这一成功激励了当局将其应用到其他城镇)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章主要介绍了利用废弃煤矿从地热水中获取绿色能源的创新方法。文章提到了Gateshead镇是第一个尝试这种方法的地方，还提到了项目的成功和潜力。因此，文章主要是关于一种获取绿色能源的创新方法。A选项“An innovative way to obtain green energy.( 一种获得绿色能源的创新方式)”概括文章主要内容。故选A。

3.考查连词。句意：他不喜欢别人知道这件事，而且/所以他从不戴眼镜，这经常给他带来一些麻烦。“He doesn’t like everybody else to know about it”和“he never wears glasses”构成并列或因果关系，所以此处应用连词and或so。故将or改为and/so。
