第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15 小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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
The United Kingdom (UK) is rightly celebrated as the birthplace of the railway. The UK’s rail network is not only a testament (证明) to engineering genius, but also the gateway to some of the most attractive landscapes to be found anywhere in the world.
The West Highland Line
Considered by some to be the most beautiful railway line in the scenery on the earth, this line takes passengers from the busy city of Glasgow through Scotland’s wild western highlands to the remote port of Mallaig. Built in stages through the 1890s, the line is a true wonder of late Victorian British engineering. The line passes through Corrour, the UK’s highest altitude train station.
The Caledonian Sleeper
Linking London with the Scottish Highlands, it has been taking travellers northward during the night along the West Coast Main Line since way back in 1873. Passengers can enjoy falling asleep to the rhythm of the train on leaving London, then waking up to the beauty of the Highlands at dawn right outside your window.
The Cambrian Line
Wales, with its dramatic landscapes and historic sites, offers some of the most scenic train journeys to be found in the UK. And perhaps the jewel in the Welsh crown is the Cambrian Line, which weaves its way through Mid Wales to the coast. The route begins in Shrewsbury in England and is famous for its scenery. Travellers will love the wonderful views of the Cambrian Mountains, a range of peaks.
The Settle-Carlisle Line
Opened in 1876, the 73-mile-long route takes travellers from Settle Junction in North Yorkshire to Carlisle in Cumbria. Rolling hills, beautiful valleys and picturesque villages along the way leave a deep impression on passengers. Threatened with closure in the 1980s, the line was saved thanks to the efforts of rail lovers, and passenger numbers have gone from strength to strength.
1. Which railway line is considered the most scenic by some across the globe
A. The West Highland Line. B. The Caledonian Sleeper.
C. The Cambrian Line. D. The Settle-Carlisle Line.
2. What is special about the Caledonian Sleeper
A. It is the east-west line. B. It offers overnight travel.
C. It is the oldest railway line. D. It runs through the whole UK.
3. What do the Cambrian Line and the Settle-Carlisle Line have in common
A. They run along the coast. B. They appeared at the same time.
C. They own many historic sites. D. They have amazing views.
B
Speaking of “desires of our hearts”, Billy Graham explained on TV it’s different than just asking for your wants and wishes. It is the deepest and truest desires of your heart. His word made me sink into deep thought. I came to realize my desire was to be someone who made a difference in the lives of people and in the lives of animals. After all, dogs had always been a large part of my life, from the time when I was a little girl growing up in central Oklahoma.
Then, something happened that shook my entire heart. The “love of my life” dog, Nicholas, died because of cancer, which made me heartbroken. However, I didn’t lose hope. I began to do research and form a small group called Small Paws Rescue. I started sending the latest news on our rescue efforts to about 25 people. Within a few months, we had grown to a group of several hundred.
A few years passed and my rescue stories were being read by more than six thousand people in 28 different countries. National media outlets began asking me to do interviews and to film episodes for Animal Planet.
It took me a while to realize that I had not only found my purpose in life, but each of the desires of my heart had been included as well. Now my days are filled with helping people and animals. I travel this beautiful country attending Small Paws Rescue functions. In the past t hirteen years, Small Paw s Rescue has rescued more than 8,000 Bichons and has made a difference in the lives of thousands of people, too.
I’ve been made whole and complete, and what more could any person ever ask The delight of doing what I do overflows from every cell of my body, and I can never repay this wonderful gift that has given my life purpose.
4. Why is Billy Graham mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To describe a situation. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To promote the program. D. To give a presentation.
5. What can be learnt about Small Paws Rescue
A. It gained more attention. B. It was a dog adoption center.
C. It’s now owning 25 staff. D. It’s merely a chat group.
6. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Everything comes to those who wait. B. Paying out would always get repaid.
C. Helping others brings joy. D. Barking dogs seldom bite.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Small Paw s Rescue B. A Call to Action C. A Friendly Reminder D. The Purpose in Life
C
Security is the condition of feeling protected against danger. A lack of security causes stress, which can negatively impact your parrots’ health. Stress often leads to their picking feather (羽毛), screaming and biting.
Since parrots are flock animals, they are born to live as part of a group. It is the most important for their security. Parrots left in isolation (孤独) without the benefit of direct contact and interaction do not develop a sense of security. They need to interact with their household flock to become comfortable and develop a sense of belonging.
The decision on where to place your bird’s cage is a critical one. Placing at least one side of the cage against a wall may help your bird feel sheltered from predators (捕食性动物). Placement opposite the entry to the room allows your bird to observe who is approaching and what is going on. Also, avoid placement in a room with a ceiling fan or directly in front of a window so they can relax and stop worrying about flying predators. Making use of cage covers or tents surrounded by lots of toys can also provide a parrot with hideaway and feel more secure when they want to sleep.
Parrots are less stressed when there are household routines that provide them with the opportunity for regular sleep hours, regular feeding and watering times and special one on one time. Since they have no means to do it for themselves, caged parrots are entirely dependent on us to provide them with clean water and a nutritious diet. They need to know they can rely on this. Daily interactions also reinforce your parrot’s sense of security. For example, greetings in the morning, goodbyes when leaving for the office, game playing when coming home, silly songs during activities such as feeding or bathing all help to reassure your bird.
The earlier in life you start to expose your bird to changes of a non-threatening nature, the less likely they will be threatened by things commonly encountered (遇到) in life such as household moves, family additions, time away from their flock (vacations, business trips). Variations in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
8. What will parrots show when under stress
A. Undesirable behaviors. B. Joyful reactions.
C. Direct contact. D. Lost memories.
9. What does the greatest sense of security of parrots come from
A. Having a safe cage. B. Living within a flock.
C. Being left in isolation. D. Interacting with owners.
10. What does the underlined word “hideaway” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Strategy. B. Adventure. C. Fitness. D. Shelter.
11. What can be inferred about parrots from the last paragraph
A. Might is right. B. Change is good.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Nature creates ability.
D
Recently, a group of stroke (中风) survivors in British Columbia will test a new technology designed to aid their recovery, and finally restore use of their arms and hands. Participants will wear a new groundbreaking “smart glove” capable of tracking their hand and finger movements during rehabilitation (康复) exercises supervised by Dr. Janice Eng, a professor of medicine at UBC.
“With this glove, we can monitor patients’ hand and finger movements without the need for cameras. We can then analyze and fine-tune their exercise programs for the best possible results, even remotely,” says Dr. Eng.
Peyman Servati, a UBC electrical and computer engineering professor and their team at their startup, Texavie, created the smart glove for collaboration on the stroke project. Dr. Servati described in a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence, “This is the most accurate (精确的) glove we know of that can track hand and finger movements and grasping force without requiring motion-capture cameras. Thanks to machine learning models we developed, the glove can accurately determine the angles of all finger joints and the wrist as they move. The technology is highly precise and fast, capable of detecting small stretches and pressures and predicting movement with at least 99% accuracy—matching the performance of costly motion-capture cameras.”
Unlike other products in the market, the glove is wireless (无线的) and comfortable, and can be easily washed after removing the battery. Dr. Servati and his team have developed advanced methods to produce the smart glove at a relatively low cost locally.
Dr. Servati hopes that the smart glove can enter the market soon. He adds, “Imagine being able to accurately capture hand movements and interactions with objects and have it automatically display on a screen. There are endless applications. You can type text without needing a physical keyboard, control a robot, or translate American Sign Language into written speech in real time, providing easier communication for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.”
12. What’s the function of the “smart glove”
A. Treating the stroke patients. B. Keeping track of the cure.
C. Helping the patients to recover soon. D. Taking control of a patient’s hands.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about concerning the “smart glove”
A. Its price. B. Its advantages. C. Its inspiration. D. Its users.
14. What is unique about the “smart glove” compared with other similar products in the market
A. It’s produced at quite a low price. B. It’s light and warm.
C. It’s fashionable. D. It’s easy to carry.
15. What is Dr. Servati’s attitude toward the “smart glove”
A. Unclear. B. Careless. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

47. 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。
Near the end of August, I got a piece of terrible news from the doctor. “Linda, you have a brain tumor (肿瘤) on the underside of your brain. This is the worst place you could have possibly gotten a tumor. It’s growing very quickly. I’m sorry. It’s inoperable.”
I walked out of her office and went through the large medical building, not daring to glance at anyone. By the time I met my husband in the parking lot, my chest hurt. “It’s inoperable!” As I repeated the doctor’s words, I began to cry. My dream of becoming a licensed psychotherapist (心理治疗师) and helping others dissolved into my tears.
I had waited until my children were grown, with families of their own, before starting my own work on a college degree. By then I was 51. Through the years I dreamed of going back to school and becoming a psychotherapist. It had been a dream of mine for almost as long as I could remember. But so many things had gotten in my way.
Several days went by as I realized that I shouldn’t give up without a fight. So I began to do online research to see if someone else could help me. I was afraid to hope, but within a week I received a call from a doctor in Los Angeles. “I can help you,” he began. Those were the words I needed to hear.
I underwent a very risky brain surgery on a sunny fall day in October 2006. Dr. Shahinian told my husband, “It’s much larger than I thought. If I take it all, there is a possibility that she will not be able to walk or smile. She may not hear and perhaps she will be blind. If I leave half of it, she’ll be back here in five years to do this all again.”
My husband and my daughter made the hard decision to allow Dr. Shahinian to attempt to remove the entire tumor in this operation.
The recovery was horrible. My optic (视觉的) nerve was damaged. I completely lost the hearing in my left ear. I heard what sounded like the roaring (呼啸) of a waterfall in my head. My balance was terrible, and it seemed as if the floor wanted to come up. But I didn’t want to live just for the sake of remaining alive. I still wanted to help other people.
注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
So after six months of lying in bed, I decided to take action.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, my dream came true.

The United Kingdom (UK) is rightly celebrated as the birthplace of the railway. The UK’s rail network is not only a testament (证明) to engineering genius, but also the gateway to some of the most attractive landscapes to be found anywhere in the world.
The West Highland Line
Considered by some to be the most beautiful railway line in the scenery on the earth, this line takes passengers from the busy city of Glasgow through Scotland’s wild western highlands to the remote port of Mallaig. Built in stages through the 1890s, the line is a true wonder of late Victorian British engineering. The line passes through Corrour, the UK’s highest altitude train station.

C. The Cambrian Line. D. The Settle-Carlisle Line.
2. What is special about the Caledonian Sleeper

3. What do the Cambrian Line and the Settle-Carlisle Line have in common

C. They own many historic sites. D. They have amazing views.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四条英国的铁路线的情况。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据The West Highland Line部分中“Considered by some to be the most beautiful railway line in the scenery on the earth, this line takes passengers from the busy city of Glasgow through Scotland’s wild western highlands to the remote port of Mallaig.(这条铁路线被一些人认为是地球上风景最美丽的铁路线，它把乘客从繁忙的格拉斯哥市带到苏格兰荒凉的西部高地，最后到达偏远的马莱格港)”可知，The West Highland Line被一些人认为是世界上风景最美的铁路线。故选A。
【2题详解】

Speaking of “desires of our hearts”, Billy Graham explained on TV it’s different than just asking for your wants and wishes. It is the deepest and truest desires of your heart. His word made me sink into deep thought. I came to realize my desire was to be someone who made a difference in the lives of people and in the lives of animals. After all, dogs had always been a large part of my life, from the time when I was a little girl growing up in central Oklahoma.
Then, something happened that shook my entire heart. The “love of my life” dog, Nicholas, died because of cancer, which made me heartbroken. However, I didn’t lose hope.

A few years passed and my rescue stories were being read by more than six thousand people in 28 different countries. National media outlets began asking me to do interviews and to film episodes for Animal Planet.
It took me a while to realize that I had not only found my purpose in life, but each of the desires of my heart had been included as well. Now my days are filled with helping people and animals. I travel this beautiful country attending Small Paws Rescue functions. In the past t hirteen years, Small Paw s Rescue has rescued more than 8,000 Bichons and has made a difference in the lives of thousands of people, too.
I’ve been made whole and complete, and what more could any person ever ask The delight of doing what I do overflows from every cell of my body, and I can never repay this wonderful gift that has given my life purpose.

Security is the condition of feeling protected against danger. A lack of security causes stress, which can negatively impact your parrots’ health. Stress often leads to their picking feather (羽毛), screaming and biting.
Since parrots are flock animals, they are born to live as part of a group. It is the most important for their security. Parrots left in isolation (孤独) without the benefit of direct contact and interaction do not develop a sense of security. They need to interact with their household flock to become comfortable and develop a sense of belonging.
The decision on where to place your bird’s cage is a critical one. Placing at least one side of the cage against a wall may help your bird feel sheltered from predators (捕食性动物). Placement opposite the entry to the room allows your bird to observe who is approaching and what is going on. Also, avoid placement in a room with a ceiling fan or directly in front of a window so they can relax and stop worrying about flying predators. Making use of cage covers or tents surrounded by lots of toys can also provide a parrot with hideaway and feel more secure when they want to sleep.
Parrots are less stressed when there are household routines that provide them with the opportunity for regular sleep hours, regular feeding and watering times and special one on one time. Since they have no means to do it for themselves, caged parrots are entirely dependent on us to provide them with clean water and a nutritious diet. They need to know they can rely on this. Daily interactions also reinforce your parrot’s sense of security. For example, greetings in the morning, goodbyes when leaving for the office, game playing when coming home, silly songs during activities such as feeding or bathing all help to reassure your bird.
The earlier in life you start to expose your bird to changes of a non-threatening nature the less likely they will be threatened by things commonly encountered (遇到) in life such as household moves, family additions, time away from their flock (vacations, business trips). Variations in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
8. What will parrots show when under stress
A. Undesirable behaviors. B. Joyful reactions.
C. Direct contact. D. Lost memories.
9. What does the greatest sense of security of parrots come from
A. Having a safe cage. B. Living within a flock.
C. Being left in isolation. D. Interacting with owners.
10. What does the underlined word “hideaway” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Strategy. B. Adventure. C. Fitness. D. Shelter.
11. What can be inferred about parrots from the last paragraph
A. Might is right. B. Change is good.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Nature creates ability.

Recently, a group of stroke (中风) survivors in British Columbia will test a new technology designed to aid their recovery, and finally restore use of their arms and hands. Participants will wear a new groundbreaking “smart glove” capable of tracking their hand and finger movements during rehabilitation (康复) exercises supervised by Dr. Janice Eng, a professor of medicine at UBC.
“With this glove, we can monitor patients’ hand and finger movements without the need for cameras. We can then analyze and fine-tune their exercise programs for the best possible results, even remotely,” says Dr. Eng.
Peyman Servati, a UBC electrical and computer engineering professor and their team at their startup, Texavie, created the smart glove for collaboration on the stroke project. Dr. Servati described in a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence, “This is the most accurate (精确的) glove we know of that can track hand and finger movements and grasping force without requiring motion-capture cameras. Thanks to machine learning models we developed, the glove can accurately determine the angles of all finger joints and the wrist as they move. The technology is highly precise and fast, capable of detecting small stretches and pressures and predicting movement with at least 99% accuracy—matching the performance of costly motion-capture cameras.”
Unlike other products in the market, the glove is wireless (无线的) and comfortable, and can be easily washed after removing the battery. Dr. Servati and his team have developed advanced methods to produce the smart glove at a relatively low cost locally.
Dr. Servati hopes that the smart glove can enter the market soon. He adds, “Imagine being able to accurately capture hand movements and interactions with objects and have it automatically display on a screen. There are endless applications. You can type text without needing a physical keyboard, control a robot, or translate American Sign Language into written speech in real time, providing easier communication for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.”
12. What’s the function of the “smart glove”
A. Treating the stroke patients. B. Keeping track of the cure.
C. Helping the patients to recover soon. D. Taking control of a patient’s hands.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about concerning the “smart glove”
A. Its price. B. Its advantages. C. Its inspiration. D. Its users.
14. What is unique about the “smart glove” compared with other similar products in the market
A. It’s produced at quite a low price. B. It’s light and warm.
C. It’s fashionable. D. It’s easy to carry.
15. What is Dr. Servati’s attitude toward the “smart glove”

47. 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。
Near the end of August, I got a piece of terrible news from the doctor. “Linda, you have a brain tumor (肿瘤) on the underside of your brain. This is the worst place you could have possibly gotten a tumor. It’s growing very quickly. I’m sorry. It’s inoperable.”
I walked out of her office and went through the large medical building, not daring to glance at anyone. By the time I met my husband in the parking lot, my chest hurt. “It’s inoperable!” As I repeated the doctor’s words, I began to cry. My dream of becoming a licensed psychotherapist (心理治疗师) and helping others dissolved into my tears.
I had waited until my children were grown, with families of their own, before starting my own work on a college degree. By then I was 51. Through the years I dreamed of going back to school and becoming a psychotherapist. It had been a dream of mine for almost as long as I could remember. But so many things had gotten in my way.
Several days went by as I realized that I shouldn’t give up without a fight. So I began to do online research to see if someone else could help me. I was afraid to hope, but within a week I received a call from a doctor in Los Angeles. “I can help you,” he began. Those were the words I needed to hear.
I underwent a very risky brain surgery on a sunny fall day in October 2006. Dr. Shahinian told my husband, “It’s much larger than I thought. If I take it all, there is a possibility that she will not be able to walk or smile. She may not hear and perhaps she will be blind. If I leave half of it, she’ll be back here in five years to do this all again.”
My husband and my daughter made the hard decision to allow Dr. Shahinian to attempt to remove the entire tumor in this operation.
The recovery was horrible. My optic (视觉的) nerve was damaged. I completely lost the hearing in my left ear. I heard what sounded like the roaring (呼啸) of a waterfall in my head. My balance was terrible, and it seemed as if the floor wanted to come up. But I didn’t want to live just for the sake of remaining alive. I still wanted to help other people.

【答案】范文
So after six months of lying in bed, I decided to take action. I began by focusing on physical therapy to regain my balance and strength. Every day, I pushed myself to do a little more, even if it meant falling and getting back up again. Slowly but surely, I started to see progress. Mentally, I also began preparing myself for the next phase of my journey. I knew that I wanted to help others, and I started looking for ways to do so while still recovering. I joined online support groups for people with similar conditions, sharing my experiences and listening to theirs. This gave me a newfound purpose and helped me see that I wasn't alone in my struggle.
Finally, my dream came true. With the support of my family and friends, I was able to complete my degree and become a licensed psychotherapist. I specialized in working with individuals who had undergone major life changes or had chronic illnesses, as I could relate to their experiences in a unique way. My journey through illness had given me a deep understanding of resilience and the power of the human spirit. I was able to use this understanding to help my clients navigate their own challenges. It was a rewarding experience, and I felt fulfilled knowing that I was able to make a difference in people's lives, just as I had always dreamed of doing.
