Although travelling alone may sound discouraging, solo travel is continuing to rise in popularity. There may be numerous reasons why someone is travelling independently. Here are our top reasons to travel by yourself.
Time for you
Some people say solo travel is the comfort and relaxation of having your very own. However, for those looking for some more adventurous “me-time,” solo tours also typically offer plenty of free time to go it alone. During your time at leisure, you have the freedom to do your own exploration, see the sights you want to see or simply relax and take it easy. With no-one to compromise（妥协，和解）with, it’s totally up to you.
Meet like-minded people
Solo travel doesn’t mean you have to travel alone. Solo travelers come from all walks of life. but they usually all share the same passion—a desire to see the world! It’s often the people you meet on holiday that are the max highlight of the entire trip and, even though you’re travelling alone, you’ll have amazing memories of the shared experiences you had together with people in your group. Take plenty of pictures to remember forever.
You’ll never be alone
Group travel is ideal for solo travelers as it offers the opportunity to a group of like-minded people, each interested in their chosen destination. Being part of a group provides extra security (especially key for independent female travelers who may feel anxious about being on their own) and for everyone there is the benefit of an expert local guide who is keen to share their knowledge. The guides also accompany you on tours and can offer suggestions on what to see and do in your leisure time to ensure you have an authentic and enjoyable experience.
So, if your friends and family are unable to join you on your dream holiday, don’t let that stop you.

As a doctoral student, I served as a hostess for famous authors and illustrators（插图画家）when they came to participate in the Ohio State University Children’s Literature Conference. I hosted such beloved creators of children’s books as Nikki Grimes, Jerry Pinkney and James Ransome. I would stand at the airport, holding one of their books and waiting to pick them up and then drive them around town to places they needed to go and assist them during autograph（签名）sessions. After graduating from my university and accepting a position at Clemson University in 2003, I kept in touch with James Ransome.
In 2005 I received a grant from the government to conduct a family-literacy program. I wanted to see what would happen when I exposed ten African American families with children to books by and about African Americans. I provided each of the families with copies of seven books, five of which were illustrated by James.
The families participated in a series of five monthly workshops, and the final event was a presentation by James and an autograph session with him. I believed this event would be a meaningful way to end the program, by having a famous illustrator of children’s literature come and talk about his work, especially because the families and I had read and responded to several of his books over the course of the five workshops.
James’s visit was informative and enlightening for the families. A parent, Ashley, told me that she sent a note to her son’s teacher about having participated in the program and loaned her son’s autographed copies of James’s books for the class to read. Looking back over my career, this family-literacy program is one of the accomplishments of which I am the proudest, and I am especially pleased that James was part of it.
24．How did the author come into contact with James？
A．The author met him by accident at the airport.
B．The author went to him to ask for an autograph.
C．The author hosted him when he attended a conference.
D．The author was introduced to him by a university professor.
25．What can be learned about James？
A．He ran monthly workshops.
B．He is an African American.
C．He has written seven books.
D．He graduated from Clemson University.
26．What did James do for the family-literacy program？
A．He gave a talk to the families.
B．He loaned his books to the families.
C．He responded to the questions raised by the families.
D．He asked the government to give financial support to the families.
27．What is Ashley’s attitude towards James？
A．Doubtful.
B．Caring.
C．Tolerant.
D．Appreciative.
C
Recently, many climate change campaigns and organizations have marketed themselves using images of polar bears losing their habitat. This has led many people to view the polar bear as the global icon（象征物）for our climate crisis.
The polar bear has become so widespread because lit does an excellent job of playing on the audience’s emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth. The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph（图表）or chart of increasing sea level or frequency of extreme weather.
However, using polar bears as the only icon of climate change is flawed（有缺点的）. For one, it only represents one effect of climate change, global warming, and not climate change itself. It neglects to address other aspects such as extreme weather events, ocean acidification, etc. While global warming is an important impact of climate change, the other aspects need to be communicated as well since climate change may not even cause warming in certain parts of the world -it could lead to severe snowstorms or colder winters instead. Thus, communicating these other elements is vital because it can reduce much of the misinformation surrounding our climate and give the audience a more comprehensive understanding of our planet.
Moreover, using images of polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat. This makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives. Since climate change is anything but a distant phenomenon, a symbol that communicates the ways in which the climate crisis affects humans could be more convincing and push more people to act.
Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change plays a limited role in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.
28．Why are polar bears preferred as marketing images？
A．Their imagery is more convincing.
B．They are likely to lose their habitat.
C．They are unique victims of the climate crisis.
D．The data on them often appear in scientific graphs.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 3？
A．Polar bears are the only indicator of climate change.
B．Climate change is bound to result in global warming.
C．All elements of climate change have been communicated to the public.
D．Using polar bears as the only icon of climate change will cause some problems.
30．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 4？
A．Failing to understand our planet.
B．Refusing to take immediate action.
C．Living far from polar bear habitat.
D．Using polar bears to explain climate change.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A．The occurrence of climate change
B．The possible impact of climate change
C．The imperfect symbol of climate change
D．The importance of protecting polar bears
D
There are many kinds of pollution, which can be classified by environment, including air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Modern society is also concerned about specific types of pollution, such as noise pollution, light pollution and plastic pollution. Pollution of all kinds may not only have negative effects on the environment and wildlife. but also do harm to human health and well-being.
Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events such as forest fires and active volcanoes, use of the word “pollution” generally means that the wastes have an anthropocentric source—that is, a source created by human activities. Pollution has accompanied humankind ever since groups of people first congregated and remained for a long time in any one place. Indeed, ancient human settlements are frequently recognized by their wastes, Pollution was not a serious problem as long as there was enough space available for each individual or group. However, with the establishment of permanent settlements by great numbers of people, pollution became a problem, and it has remained one ever since.
By the middle of the 20th century, an awareness of the need to protect air, water, and land environments from pollution had developed among the general public. In particular, the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring focused attention on environmental damage caused by improper use of pesticides such as DDT. In response, major pieces of environmental law and regulation were passed in many countries to control the environmental pollution.
Great efforts are made to limit the release of harmful substances into the environment. Unfortunately, attempts at pollution control are surpassed by the scale of the problem, especially in less-developed countries. Noxious levels of air pollution are common in large cities. To control the pollution completely, we still have a long way to go.
32．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about？
A．The history of pollution. B．The types of pollution.
C．The causes of pollution. D．The effects of pollution.
33．What is the original cause of pollution according to this passage？
A．Natural disasters. B．Forest fires. C．Volcanoes. D．Human activities.
34．What does the underlined word “congregated” mean in paragraph 2？
A．gathered. B．separated. C．attended. D．lived.
35．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？
A．No measures have been taken by the government to control the problems of pollution.
B．The book Silent Spring helped to improve the awareness of protecting the environment.
C．Silent Spring concentrated on the improper use of plastic bags.
D．The pollution has been controlled in less-developed countries.

Do you think you need to shout at yourself to force yourself to finish your homework？If so, think again. 36 Research shows that practicing self-compassion （自我关怀）improves our mental and physical well-being and supports long-term success.

Rather than getting caught up in how we could have done better, forgive ourselves and think about what to change while remaining respectful, and loving to ourselves. 40 . We can read a novel, play a musical instrument or kick around a soccer ball with friends.
With practice, we can learn to treat ourselves with kindness and unconditional love—not tough love.
A．So how do we develop self-compassion？
B．It may be more effective to be kind to yourself.
C．It includes letting go of your strict self-criticism.
D．Mindfulness is the key to practicing self-compassion.
E．But this approach does not make us feel or perform better.
F．They have more confidence to look for areas where they can improve.
G．Also, show ourselves kindness in ways that nourish（滋养）our spirit and body.

第二节：读后续写（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。
I had run away from home after finishing high school. My parents had insisted I go to college, but I was tired of school. I hated it. I was determined not to go. And, besides, my father was too strict. I had too many chores to do around the farm. I hated the work!
There had been a quarrel between my father and me. I threw some things into a bag and left angrily, as my father shouted after me, “If you leave, don’t come back!” My mother cried openly, and I had seen those tears during a hundred sleepless nights.
Then it was time to write a letter to my father.
Dear Dad,
It’s been more than a year now. I’ve traveled east to west. I’ve had dozens of jobs. None of them amounted to very much. Always the same questions: “How much education have you got ” It seems they always want college men for the good jobs.
Dad, you and Mother were right about everything. I know now that the work on the farm didn’t hurt me, and I’m convinced I need college. I’m also convinced that both of you loved me.
Dad, I’ve learned a lesson. I want to come home. I know you said if I left, I couldn’t come back, but I’m praying you’ll change your mind. I want to come home and be a part of the family again.
Give my love to Mother and the girls.
Love,
Your son
As I folded the letter and put it into an envelope, I felt a refreshing relief. It was as if a heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders. And I had to be on my way home.
I started down the deserted road—the long road home. Fortunately, a car picked me up, and it was good to have someone to talk with. The driver was a salesman and very pleasant.
“Where you going, boy ” he asked good-naturedly.
There was a long silence before I said, “Home.”
“Been away from home long ”
I smiled, a little self-conscious, and said, “One year, one month and two days.”
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者开展一个家庭扫盲计划，邀请了儿童书籍创作者詹姆斯·兰瑟姆来参加，詹姆斯发表了讲话，鼓励了很多家庭。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a doctoral student, I served as a hostess for famous authors and illustrators when they came to participate in the Ohio State University Children’s Literature Conference. I hosted such beloved creators of children’s books as Nikki Grimes. Jerry Pinkney and James Ransome. （在读博士期间，我为前来参加俄亥俄州立大学儿童文学大会的著名作 家和插画家担任主持人。我邀请了尼基·格莱姆斯、杰里·平克尼和詹姆斯·兰瑟姆等受人喜爱的儿童书籍创作者）”可知，当James参加会议时，是作者接待了他，从而接触。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I wanted to see what would happen when I exposed ten African American families with children to books by and about African Americans. I provided each of the families with copies of seven books, five of which were illustrated by James.（我想着看当我让十个有孩子的非裔美国家庭阅读非裔美国人写的和关于非裔美国人的书时会发生什么。我给每个家庭提供了七本书，其中五本是詹姆斯的插图）”可知，James是一个非裔美国人。故选B。

C．【短文大意】最近，许多气候变化运动和组织利用北极熊失去栖息地的图像来宣传自己。这使得许多人将北极熊视为气候危机的标志。这种做法也有一定的可取之处，但是这样做容易让人们产生错误的认知。
28．A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“because it does an excellent job…convincing them that”及“The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph（图表）or chart of increasing sea level or frequency of extreme weather”可知，北极熊的形象比图表更有吸引力，更容易使人信服，所以人们喜欢把北极熊作为营销形象，故选A项。
29．D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, using polar bears as the only icon of climate change is flawed（有缺点的）”可知，把北极熊作为气候的唯一标志是有问题的。
30．C猜测词义题。画线词是指示代词，指代前文的内容。根据画线词后的“makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives”可知这使人们感觉北极熊和个人生活不相干，并因此让人感觉气候变化和我们的生活不相干；由此可推知，This指的是上文提到的大多数人都不住在北极熊栖息地附近。
31．C主旨大意题。文章第一、二段介绍一些活动或组织喜欢用北极熊图像来进行宣传并剖析了这么做的原因；第三、四段则从两方面详细分析了这种做法的不足之处；最后一段则点明此做法的可取之处。文章围绕把北极熊图像作为气候变化标志的不完美性展开，故C项概括了全文。
D．【答案】32．B 33．D 34．A 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了污染的种类、起源以及对污染的控制等。
32．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There are many kinds of pollution, which can be classified by environment, including air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Modern society is also concerned about specific types of pollution, such as noise pollution, light pollution and plastic pollution.（污染有很多种，可以按环境来分类，包括空气污染、水污染和土地污染。现代社会还关注特定类型的污染，如噪音污染、光污染和塑料污染。）”可知，第一段主要讲述了污染的种类。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events such as forest fires and active volcanoes, use of the word “pollution” generally means that the wastes have an anthropocentric source-that is, a source created by human activities.（虽然环境污染可能是由森林火灾和活火山等自然事件造成的，但使用‘污染’一词通常意味着这些废物具有以人类为中心的来源，即由人类活动产生的来源。）”可知，污染起源于人类活动。故选D。
34．词句猜测题。根据下文“However, with the establishment of permanent settlements by great numbers of people, pollution became a problem, and it has remained one ever since.（然而，随着大量人口的永久定居，污染成为了一个问题，从那时起它一直是一个问题。）”可知，划线词所在句子意思是：自从一群人第一次聚集在一个地方并长期居住以来，污染就一直伴随着人类。由此可推知，“congregated”意为“聚集”。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In particular, the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring focused attention on environmental damage caused by improper use of pesticides such as DDT. In response, major pieces of environmental law and regulation were passed in many countries to control the environmental pollution.（特别是1962年出版的雷切尔·卡森（Rachel Carson）的《寂静的春天》（Silent Spring）一书，将人们的注意力集中在了DDT 等杀虫剂的不当使用所造成的环境破坏上。作为回应，许多国家通过了重要的环境法律法规来控制环境污染。）”可知，《寂静的春天》这本书对于提高环保意识是有帮助的。故选B。
E．【答案】36．B 37．E 38．F 39．A 40．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过自我同情的练习，我们可以学会用善意和无条件的爱来对待自己。
36．前文提到可能通过对自己的大吼大叫来促使自己完成作业的这一情况，后文提到“Research shows that practicing self-compassion（自我关怀）improves our mental and physical well-being and supports long-term success.”（研究表明，练习自我同情可以改善我们的身心健康，并有助于长期的成功。），研究表明对自己鼓励和关怀有利于自身长期的成功，说明对自己好一点可能在促使自己完成一件事上更加有效果。B项“It may be more effective to be kind to yourself.”（善待自己可能会更有效。）该项提到善待自己更加有效果，该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选B。
37．前文提到“Self-compassion is the practice of being kind and supportive to ourselves. The opposite is being self-critical and mean to ourselves when we make a mistake.”（自我同情是对自己友善和支持的实践。相反的是当我们犯错时，自我批评和对自己刻薄。），人在犯错误的时候很容易进行自我批评，且后文提到“These negative responses are related to depression, stress and reduced quality of life.”（这些负面反应与抑郁、压力和生活质量下降有关。），对自己的批评可能会导致抑郁、有压力且可能会影响生活质量。E项“But this approach does not make us feel or perform better.”（但这种方法并不能让我们感觉或表现得更好。）该项提到自我批评并不会让自己感觉良好。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选E。
38．前文提到“A 2017 study found people who practice self-compassion tend to handle stress better. Their bodies have less of a stress response when, for example, they meet with difficulties at work or school.”（2017年的一项研究发现，练习自我同情的人往往能更好地应对压力。例如，当他们在工作或学校遇到困难时，他们的身体对压力的反应就会减少。），以及后文中提到“Self-compassion helps them use the experience to make changes going forward, like seeking out a math tutor.”（自我同情可以帮助他们利用这段经历做出改变，比如找一个数学导师。）该段提到练习自我同情的人能更好地应对压力，而且能够进行自我同情的人会根据自己的情况做出适当的可以改变自己的行为。F项“They have more confidence to look for areas where they can improve.”（他们更有信心去寻找自己可以改进的地方。）该项提到会自我同情的人会寻求改进自己的机会和方法。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选F。
39．后文提到“We can start with mindfulness.”（我们可以从正念开始。）由该段内容可以判断，该段提到了进行自我同情的练习方法。A项“So how do we develop self-compassion ”（那么我们如何培养自我同情呢？）该项由问题引出后文中进行自我同情的方法，起到引出后文的作用，符合文意。故选A。
40．前文提到“Rather than getting caught up in how we could have done better, forgive ourselves and think about what to change while remaining respectful, and loving to ourselves.”（与其纠结于我们该如何做得更好，不如原谅自己，想想在保持尊重和爱自己的同时要改变什么。）要与自己和解，要尊重自己爱自己，后文提到“We can read a novel, play a musical instrument or kick around a soccer ball with friends.”（我们可以读小说，演奏乐器或与朋友踢足球。）读书运动和演奏音乐都是让自己身心健康的好方法。G项“Also, show ourselves kindness in ways that nourish（滋养）our spirit and body.”（同时，要善待自己，以滋养我们的精神和身体。）该项提到了要善待自己，滋养自己。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选G。

Dear fellow students,
I am head of the School Environmental Protection Club. Our club is dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and raising the awareness of environmental protection.
The use of plastics on our campus has reached alarming levels, leading to significant environmental consequences. Single-use plastic items, such as water bottles, food containers, and plastic bags, are widely used and thrown away, contributing to pollution and waste.
To address this issue, I would like to propose two concrete measures. First, we suggest using a waste sorting system, which will encourage students to separate plastic waste from other trash. In addition, it’s recommended that reusable and eco-friendly shopping bags should be provided in school stores and canteens, thereby reducing the demand for plastic bags.
In the light of the above, we kindly request your support and attention to this matter. Let’s work together to create a more sustainable and plastic-free campus.
The School Environmental Protection Club

Having heard my story, he expressed his support for my final decision and told me something surprising about his son. “Boy, you have made the right choice to go back home,” he said. “To be frank, my son ran away from home two years ago. I have been missing him every hour and every minute.” Now it’s time for me to comfort him, “Don’t worry. I believe he will come back soon, just like me.” I expressed my thanks for his kindness of having me in his car and I wished his son good luck. After all, we are all good people and good people deserve good fortune.
Finally, I arrived home when it was completely dark. Nervous and uneasy, I approached the door and knocked on it gently. It was my father who opened the door and my sudden appearance made him go wild with joy. “Son, you’ve finally come back. I’ve been waiting for this moment for long,” said my father in a trembling voice. It was at that moment that I realized there is no place like home and that blood is thicker than water.

Although travelling alone may sound discouraging, solo travel is continuing to rise in popularity. There may be numerous reasons why someone is travelling independently. Here are our top reasons to travel by yourself.
Time for you
Some people say solo travel is the comfort and relaxation of having your very own. However, for those looking for some more adventurous “me-time,” solo tours also typically offer plenty of free time to go it alone. During your time at leisure, you have the freedom to do your own exploration, see the sights you want to see or simply relax and take it easy. With no-one to compromise（妥协，和解）with, it’s totally up to you.
Meet like-minded people
Solo travel doesn’t mean you have to travel alone. Solo travelers come from all walks of life. but they usually all share the same passion—a desire to see the world! It’s often the people you meet on holiday that are the max highlight of the entire trip and, even though you’re travelling alone, you’ll have amazing memories of the shared experiences you had together with people in your group. Take plenty of pictures to remember forever.
You’ll never be alone
Group travel is ideal for solo travelers as it offers the opportunity to a group of like-minded people, each interested in their chosen destination. Being part of a group provides extra security (especially key for independent female travelers who may feel anxious about being on their own) and for everyone there is the benefit of an expert local guide who is keen to share their knowledge. The guides also accompany you on tours and can offer suggestions on what to see and do in your leisure time to ensure you have an authentic and enjoyable experience.
So, if your friends and family are unable to join you on your dream holiday, don’t let that stop you.

As a doctoral student, I served as a hostess for famous authors and illustrators（插图画家）when they came to participate in the Ohio State University Children’s Literature Conference. I hosted such beloved creators of children’s books as Nikki Grimes, Jerry Pinkney and James Ransome. I would stand at the airport, holding one of their books and waiting to pick them up and then drive them around town to places they needed to go and assist them during autograph（签名）sessions. After graduating from my university and accepting a position at Clemson University in 2003, I kept in touch with James Ransome.
In 2005 I received a grant from the government to conduct a family-literacy program. I wanted to see what would happen when I exposed ten African American families with children to books by and about African Americans. I provided each of the families with copies of seven books, five of which were illustrated by James.
The families participated in a series of five monthly workshops, and the final event was a presentation by James and an autograph session with him. I believed this event would be a meaningful way to end the program, by having a famous illustrator of children’s literature come and talk about his work, especially because the families and I had read and responded to several of his books over the course of the five workshops.
James’s visit was informative and enlightening for the families. A parent, Ashley, told me that she sent a note to her son’s teacher about having participated in the program and loaned her son’s autographed copies of James’s books for the class to read. Looking back over my career, this family-literacy program is one of the accomplishments of which I am the proudest, and I am especially pleased that James was part of it.
24．How did the author come into contact with James？
A．The author met him by accident at the airport.
B．The author went to him to ask for an autograph.
C．The author hosted him when he attended a conference.
D．The author was introduced to him by a university professor.
25．What can be learned about James？
A．He ran monthly workshops.
B．He is an African American.
C．He has written seven books.
D．He graduated from Clemson University.
26．What did James do for the family-literacy program？
A．He gave a talk to the families.
B．He loaned his books to the families.
C．He responded to the questions raised by the families.
D．He asked the government to give financial support to the families.
27．What is Ashley’s attitude towards James？
A．Doubtful.
B．Caring.
C．Tolerant.
D．Appreciative.
C
Recently, many climate change campaigns and organizations have marketed themselves using images of polar bears losing their habitat. This has led many people to view the polar bear as the global icon（象征物）for our climate crisis.
The polar bear has become so widespread because lit does an excellent job of playing on the audience’s emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth. The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph（图表）or chart of increasing sea level or frequency of extreme weather.
However, using polar bears as the only icon of climate change is flawed（有缺点的）. For one, it only represents one effect of climate change, global warming, and not climate change itself. It neglects to address other aspects such as extreme weather events, ocean acidification, etc. While global warming is an important impact of climate change, the other aspects need to be communicated as well since climate change may not even cause warming in certain parts of the world -it could lead to severe snowstorms or colder winters instead. Thus, communicating these other elements is vital because it can reduce much of the misinformation surrounding our climate and give the audience a more comprehensive understanding of our planet.
Moreover, using images of polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat. This makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives. Since climate change is anything but a distant phenomenon, a symbol that communicates the ways in which the climate crisis affects humans could be more convincing and push more people to act.
Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change plays a limited role in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.
28．Why are polar bears preferred as marketing images？
A．Their imagery is more convincing.
B．They are likely to lose their habitat.
C．They are unique victims of the climate crisis.
D．The data on them often appear in scientific graphs.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 3？
A．Polar bears are the only indicator of climate change.
B．Climate change is bound to result in global warming.
C．All elements of climate change have been communicated to the public.
D．Using polar bears as the only icon of climate change will cause some problems.
30．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 4？
A．Failing to understand our planet.
B．Refusing to take immediate action.
C．Living far from polar bear habitat.
D．Using polar bears to explain climate change.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A．The occurrence of climate change
B．The possible impact of climate change
C．The imperfect symbol of climate change
D．The importance of protecting polar bears
D
There are many kinds of pollution, which can be classified by environment, including air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Modern society is also concerned about specific types of pollution, such as noise pollution, light pollution and plastic pollution. Pollution of all kinds may not only have negative effects on the environment and wildlife. but also do harm to human health and well-being.
Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events such as forest fires and active volcanoes, use of the word “pollution” generally means that the wastes have an anthropocentric source—that is, a source created by human activities. Pollution has accompanied humankind ever since groups of people first congregated and remained for a long time in any one place. Indeed, ancient human settlements are frequently recognized by their wastes, Pollution was not a serious problem as long as there was enough space available for each individual or group. However, with the establishment of permanent settlements by great numbers of people, pollution became a problem, and it has remained one ever since.
By the middle of the 20th century, an awareness of the need to protect air, water, and land environments from pollution had developed among the general public. In particular, the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring focused attention on environmental damage caused by improper use of pesticides such as DDT. In response, major pieces of environmental law and regulation were passed in many countries to control the environmental pollution.
Great efforts are made to limit the release of harmful substances into the environment. Unfortunately, attempts at pollution control are surpassed by the scale of the problem, especially in less-developed countries. Noxious levels of air pollution are common in large cities. To control the pollution completely, we still have a long way to go.
32．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about？
A．The history of pollution. B．The types of pollution.
C．The causes of pollution. D．The effects of pollution.
33．What is the original cause of pollution according to this passage？
A．Natural disasters. B．Forest fires. C．Volcanoes. D．Human activities.
34．What does the underlined word “congregated” mean in paragraph 2？
A．gathered. B．separated. C．attended. D．lived.
35．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？
A．No measures have been taken by the government to control the problems of pollution.
B．The book Silent Spring helped to improve the awareness of protecting the environment.
C．Silent Spring concentrated on the improper use of plastic bags.
D．The pollution has been controlled in less-developed countries.

Rather than getting caught up in how we could have done better, forgive ourselves and think about what to change while remaining respectful, and loving to ourselves. 40 . We can read a novel, play a musical instrument or kick around a soccer ball with friends.
With practice, we can learn to treat ourselves with kindness and unconditional love—not tough love.
A．So how do we develop self-compassion？
B．It may be more effective to be kind to yourself.
C．It includes letting go of your strict self-criticism.
D．Mindfulness is the key to practicing self-compassion.
E．But this approach does not make us feel or perform better.
F．They have more confidence to look for areas where they can improve.

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。
I had run away from home after finishing high school. My parents had insisted I go to college, but I was tired of school. I hated it. I was determined not to go. And, besides, my father was too strict. I had too many chores to do around the farm. I hated the work!
There had been a quarrel between my father and me. I threw some things into a bag and left angrily, as my father shouted after me, “If you leave, don’t come back!” My mother cried openly, and I had seen those tears during a hundred sleepless nights.
Then it was time to write a letter to my father.
Dear Dad,
It’s been more than a year now. I’ve traveled east to west. I’ve had dozens of jobs. None of them amounted to very much. Always the same questions: “How much education have you got ” It seems they always want college men for the good jobs.
Dad, you and Mother were right about everything. I know now that the work on the farm didn’t hurt me, and I’m convinced I need college. I’m also convinced that both of you loved me.
Dad, I’ve learned a lesson. I want to come home. I know you said if I left, I couldn’t come back, but I’m praying you’ll change your mind. I want to come home and be a part of the family again.
Give my love to Mother and the girls.
Love,
Your son
As I folded the letter and put it into an envelope, I felt a refreshing relief. It was as if a heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders. And I had to be on my way home.
I started down the deserted road—the long road home. Fortunately, a car picked me up, and it was good to have someone to talk with. The driver was a salesman and very pleasant.
“Where you going, boy ” he asked good-naturedly.
There was a long silence before I said, “Home.”
“Been away from home long ”
I smiled, a little self-conscious, and said, “One year, one month and two days.”

二、A．【答案】21．C 22．B 23．C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要说明了应该单独旅行的三个理由。
21．细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s often the people you meet on holiday that are the max highlight of the entire trip and, even though you’re travelling alone, you’ll have amazing memories of the shared experiences you had together with people in your group. （通常你在假期遇到的人是整个旅行的最大亮点，即使你是一个人旅行，你也会和你的团队成员一起分享你的经历）”可知，整个独自旅行最棒的部分是旅途中遇到的人。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Being part of a group provides extra security （especially key for independent female travelers who may feel anxious about being on their own）and for everyone there is the benefit of an expert local guide who is keen to share their knowledge. The guides also accompany you on tours and can offer suggestions on what to see and do in your leisure time to ensure you have an authentic and enjoyable experience. 作为团体的一部分提供了额外的安全保障（特别是对于独立的女性旅行者来说，她们可能会对自己感到焦虑），对每个人来说，都有一个热衷于分享知识的专业当地导游的好处。导游也会陪你一起旅行，并为你提供一些建议，告诉你在闲暇时间该看什么、做什么，以确保你有一个真实而愉快的经历”可知，当地导游能提供陪伴和个性化的建议。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, if your friends and family are unable to join you on your dream holiday, don’t let that stop you. Travel Department is delighted to partner with Reader’s Digest and offer their readers an exclusive discount on 2023 & 2024 holidays. To discuss any questions or make a booking simply call 02039660527.（所以，如果你的朋友和家人不能加入你的梦想假期，不要让它阻止你。旅游部很高兴与读者文摘合作，为读者提供2023年和2024年假期的独家折扣。讨论任何问题或预订只需拨打02039660527）”可推知，文章的目的是做广告。故选C。
B．【答案】24．C 25．B 26．A 27．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者开展一个家庭扫盲计划，邀请了儿童书籍创作者詹姆斯·兰瑟姆来参加，詹姆斯发表了讲话，鼓励了很多家庭。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a doctoral student, I served as a hostess for famous authors and illustrators when they came to participate in the Ohio State University Children’s Literature Conference. I hosted such beloved creators of children’s books as Nikki Grimes. Jerry Pinkney and James Ransome. （在读博士期间，我为前来参加俄亥俄州立大学儿童文学大会的著名作 家和插画家担任主持人。我邀请了尼基·格莱姆斯、杰里·平克尼和詹姆斯·兰瑟姆等受人喜爱的儿童书籍创作者）”可知，当James参加会议时，是作者接待了他，从而接触。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I wanted to see what would happen when I exposed ten African American families with children to books by and about African Americans. I provided each of the families with copies of seven books, five of which were illustrated by James.（我想着看当我让十个有孩子的非裔美国家庭阅读非裔美国人写的和关于非裔美国人的书时会发生什么。我给每个家庭提供了七本书，其中五本是詹姆斯的插图）”可知，James是一个非裔美国人。故选B。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段“The families participated in a series of five monthly workshops, and the final event was a presentation by James and an autograph session with him. I believed this event would be a meaningful way to end the program, by having a famous illustrator of children’s literature come and talk about his work, especially because the families and I had read and responded to several of his books over the course of the five workshops.（这些家庭参加了一系列每月五个的研讨会，最后的活动是詹姆斯的演讲和他的签名会。我相信这次活动将是结束 这个项目的一个有意义的方式，让一位著名的儿童文学插画家来谈谈他的作品，特别是因为我和我的家人在五个研讨会的过程中阅读并回应了他的几本书）”可知，James在家庭扫盲计划中，对家庭发表了讲话。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“James’s visit was informative and enlightening for the families. A parent, Ashley, told me that she sent a note to her son’s teacher about having participated in the program and loaned her son’s autographed copies of James’s books for the class to read. Looking back over my career, this family-literacy program is one of the accomplishments of which I am the proudest, and I am especially pleased that James was part of it.（詹姆斯的访问对这些家庭来说是有益的和有启发的。一位名叫阿什利的家长告诉我，她给儿子的老师发了一张便条，告诉他自己参加了这个项目，并把儿子亲笔签名的詹姆斯的书借给了全班学生阅读。回顾我的职业生涯，这个家庭扫盲计划是我最自豪的成就之一，我特别高兴詹姆斯是其中的一员）”可推知，Ashley对James的态度是“欣赏的”。故选D。
C．【短文大意】最近，许多气候变化运动和组织利用北极熊失去栖息地的图像来宣传自己。这使得许多人将北极熊视为气候危机的标志。这种做法也有一定的可取之处，但是这样做容易让人们产生错误的认知。
28．A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“because it does an excellent job…convincing them that”及“The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph（图表）or chart of increasing sea level or frequency of extreme weather”可知，北极熊的形象比图表更有吸引力，更容易使人信服，所以人们喜欢把北极熊作为营销形象，故选A项。
29．D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, using polar bears as the only icon of climate change is flawed（有缺点的）”可知，把北极熊作为气候的唯一标志是有问题的。
30．C猜测词义题。画线词是指示代词，指代前文的内容。根据画线词后的“makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives”可知这使人们感觉北极熊和个人生活不相干，并因此让人感觉气候变化和我们的生活不相干；由此可推知，This指的是上文提到的大多数人都不住在北极熊栖息地附近。
31．C主旨大意题。文章第一、二段介绍一些活动或组织喜欢用北极熊图像来进行宣传并剖析了这么做的原因；第三、四段则从两方面详细分析了这种做法的不足之处；最后一段则点明此做法的可取之处。文章围绕把北极熊图像作为气候变化标志的不完美性展开，故C项概括了全文。
D．【答案】32．B 33．D 34．A 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了污染的种类、起源以及对污染的控制等。
32．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There are many kinds of pollution, which can be classified by environment, including air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Modern society is also concerned about specific types of pollution, such as noise pollution, light pollution and plastic pollution.（污染有很多种，可以按环境来分类，包括空气污染、水污染和土地污染。现代社会还关注特定类型的污染，如噪音污染、光污染和塑料污染。）”可知，第一段主要讲述了污染的种类。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events such as forest fires and active volcanoes, use of the word “pollution” generally means that the wastes have an anthropocentric source-that is, a source created by human activities.（虽然环境污染可能是由森林火灾和活火山等自然事件造成的，但使用‘污染’一词通常意味着这些废物具有以人类为中心的来源，即由人类活动产生的来源。）”可知，污染起源于人类活动。故选D。
34．词句猜测题。根据下文“However, with the establishment of permanent settlements by great numbers of people, pollution became a problem, and it has remained one ever since.（然而，随着大量人口的永久定居，污染成为了一个问题，从那时起它一直是一个问题。）”可知，划线词所在句子意思是：自从一群人第一次聚集在一个地方并长期居住以来，污染就一直伴随着人类。由此可推知，“congregated”意为“聚集”。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In particular, the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring focused attention on environmental damage caused by improper use of pesticides such as DDT. In response, major pieces of environmental law and regulation were passed in many countries to control the environmental pollution.（特别是1962年出版的雷切尔·卡森（Rachel Carson）的《寂静的春天》（Silent Spring）一书，将人们的注意力集中在了DDT 等杀虫剂的不当使用所造成的环境破坏上。作为回应，许多国家通过了重要的环境法律法规来控制环境污染。）”可知，《寂静的春天》这本书对于提高环保意识是有帮助的。故选B。
E．【答案】36．B 37．E 38．F 39．A 40．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过自我同情的练习，我们可以学会用善意和无条件的爱来对待自己。

The opposite is being self-critical and mean to ourselves when we make a mistake.”（自我同情是对自己友善和支持的实践。相反的是当我们犯错时，自我批评和对自己刻薄。），人在犯错误的时候很容易进行自我批评，且后文提到“These negative responses are related to depression, stress and reduced quality of life.”（这些负面反应与抑郁、压力和生活质量下降有关。），对自己的批评可能会导致抑郁、有压力且可能会影响生活质量。E项“But this approach does not make us feel or perform better.”（但这种方法并不能让我们感觉或表现得更好。）该项提到自我批评并不会让自己感觉良好。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选E。

Their bodies have less of a stress response when, for example, they meet with difficulties at work or school.”（2017年的一项研究发现，练习自我同情的人往往能更好地应对压力。例如，当他们在工作或学校遇到困难时，他们的身体对压力的反应就会减少。），以及后文中提到“Self-compassion helps them use the experience to make changes going forward, like seeking out a math tutor.”（自我同情可以帮助他们利用这段经历做出改变，比如找一个数学导师。）该段提到练习自我同情的人能更好地应对压力，而且能够进行自我同情的人会根据自己的情况做出适当的可以改变自己的行为。F项“They have more confidence to look for areas where they can improve.”（他们更有信心去寻找自己可以改进的地方。）该项提到会自我同情的人会寻求改进自己的机会和方法。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选F。

40．前文提到“Rather than getting caught up in how we could have done better, forgive ourselves and think about what to change while remaining respectful, and loving to ourselves.”（与其纠结于我们该如何做得更好，不如原谅自己，想想在保持尊重和爱自己的同时要改变什么。）要与自己和解，要尊重自己爱自己，后文提到“We can read a novel, play a musical instrument or kick around a soccer ball with friends.”（我们可以读小说，演奏乐器或与朋友踢足球。）读书运动和演奏音乐都是让自己身心健康的好方法。G项“Also, show ourselves kindness in ways that nourish（滋养）our spirit and body.”（同时，要善待自己，以滋养我们的精神和身体。）该项提到了要善待自己，滋养自己。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选G。
【完形填空语篇解读】本文为记叙文。文章介绍美国一位90岁老太太通过在线学习完成大学学业，弥补了年轻时辍学遗憾的经历。文章鼓励大家遇到困难时不要放弃，即使短暂放弃，也可以重新弥补。

第一节（满分15分）
Dear fellow students,
I am head of the School Environmental Protection Club. Our club is dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and raising the awareness of environmental protection.
The use of plastics on our campus has reached alarming levels, leading to significant environmental consequences. Single-use plastic items, such as water bottles, food containers, and plastic bags, are widely used and thrown away, contributing to pollution and waste.
To address this issue, I would like to propose two concrete measures. First, we suggest using a waste sorting system, which will encourage students to separate plastic waste from other trash. In addition, it’s recommended that reusable and eco-friendly shopping bags should be provided in school stores and canteens, thereby reducing the demand for plastic bags.
In the light of the above, we kindly request your support and attention to this matter. Let’s work together to create a more sustainable and plastic-free campus.
The School Environmental Protection Club
读后续写
Having heard my story, he expressed his support for my final decision and told me something surprising about his son. “Boy, you have made the right choice to go back home,” he said. “To be frank, my son ran away from home two years ago. I have been missing him every hour and every minute.” Now it’s time for me to comfort him, “Don’t worry. I believe he will come back soon, just like me.” I expressed my thanks for his kindness of having me in his car and I wished his son good luck. After all, we are all good people and good people deserve good fortune.
Finally, I arrived home when it was completely dark. Nervous and uneasy, I approached the door and knocked on it gently. It was my father who opened the door and my sudden appearance made him go wild with joy. “Son, you’ve finally come back. I’ve been waiting for this moment for long,” said my father in a trembling voice. It was at that moment that I realized there is no place like home and that blood is thicker than water.
