第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer “to keep warm and to cover my body”. These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer’s body just as well.
Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!
21．What do people basically wear clothes for
A．Keeping warm and covering bodies.
B．Following the fashion.
C．Looking attractive to others.
D．Appearing successful to others.
22．What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Fashionable clothes shops.
B．Cupboards for storing clothes.
C．The clothes that some people have.
D．Shelves used for keeping books.
23．What is the passage mainly about
A．Clothes and fashion. B．Suits and ties.
C．Cost and pastime. D．Beauty and success.

New York’s Underside
A dangerous job
Since I was a boy, I have always looked down open manholes with curiosity, so I welcomed the opportunity to explore and write about the world beneath New York City. With a group of 11 “sandhogs” — the nickname for the workers who build New York’s underground — boarded a slow, shaky elevator lit by a single light bulb. Slowly we went down a shaft dug through 200 meters of rock. The sandhogs were building a new tunnel to bring water into the city, The present tunnel system carries more than 5.6 billion liters of water every day. That’s enough water to fill more than 2,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
As we descended, it got dark and the air got cool. I looked up into darkness and down into deeper blackness, then the elevator stopped, and everyone got out. Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. At the bottom was a dark tunnel filled with dust and smoke. Sandhogs were using explosives like dynamite to cut through the solid rock. The tunnel extends slowly — only four meters a day — and with each day come new dangers. Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. Their bodies are covered in such scars.
“Why do this work ” I asked Brian Gallagher, a sandhog for 16 years. Brian’s father was a sandhog, too, but it is not tradition that brought him here. “It’s the money,” he said. An experienced sandhog earns over $100,000 a year. The rewards are well deserved. A sandhog’s chances of dying on the job are far greater than those of an above-ground construction worker, or even a New York City police officer.“Everything down here can kill you,“ one sandhog said. They know many more workers will die before the tunnel is completed.
A river of sewage
On another trip below the city, sewer worker Jeff Kwami showed me how the city’s sewage is kept flowing smoothly. We went down a manhole wearing plastic bodysuits, gloves, and tanks of air. Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step. In front of me was a fast-moving river of sewage nearly two meters wide. It smelled awful. I asked Kwami, “What happens if you fall in and you’re not attached to a rope ” He said if you didn’t pull yourself out, you’d drown in the sewage. But unlike the dangers sandhogs face, such situations are rare. As we move through the sewer, Kwami seems calm and confident, but it’s still a terrifying thought.
Later, as we left the darkness and danger below, Kwami joked, “See any alligators ” Over the years, there have been stories about giant alligators living in the sewers. I tell Kwami that in 1935, the New York Times reported an alligator was pulled from a sewer. He still didn’t believe it, and we laugh together as we climb back to the surface.
24．The writer of the passage is .
A．considering getting a job as a tunnel worker B．taking tourists into New York City’s tunnels
C．interested in what lies beneath New York City D．reporting on the benefits of working underground.
25．What danger that underground workers face is NOT mentioned
A．Slipping. B．Being cut by rock. C．Drowning. D．Elevators falling.
26．Sewer workers probably carry tanks of air because .
A．the smell of the sewage is bad B．the tunnel is filled with smoke
C．they have to dive into the sewage D．they need to clean the air in the sewer
27．What would be the best heading for the last paragraph
A．Recent Alligator Sighting B．The 80-Year-Old Alligator
C．How to Survive Sewage D．Just a Story

John Nelson, 92, grew up in Michigan and volunteered for the army in 1945.The 18-year-old managed to get accepted, despite being colorblind. He landed on the island of Iwo Jima in the first days of the American attack to take the island from the Japanese. Nelson fought day and night for 10 days before receiving a serious wound to his right arm. The other seven men in his squadron (中队) all died. American losses included 5,900 dead and 17,400 wounded.
Nelson saw the American flag being raised on Mount Suribachi after the island was taken by the American forces. The arm would continue to trouble him the rest of his life. Suffering from anxiety and flashbacks, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).
Al Elders was a Grandville farm boy. He joined the Navy and was stationed on Guam when the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Aug. 6 and 9,1945, basically ended the war with Japan.

One day, Elders noticed a man sitting at a cafeteria in the Sunset Village, and that was Nelson. Seeing his Marine cap, Elders thought they would have something to talk about. And they did. The war in the Pacific is a common bond.
The two men later worked together to serve other residents (居民) at Sunset Manor. John began detailing cars during good weather and cleaning walkers in the winter. Elders became his advertising manager. They donated most of their income to the Wounded Warrior project. John is less mobile now and is in care at Sunset. Al continues to visit and to encourage his friend. A friend of Elders’ who traveled to Iwo Jima brought back a jar filled with sand from the rocky island. Elders sent the gift, along with his own wartime collections, to the Seabee Museum and Memorial Park.

Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, a search engine company announced.
The company, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the United States Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning telling them to seek cover. The screen also will provide estimates of the quake’s magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.
Users won’t need to download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about 1 million of California’s 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.
“This announcement means that California’s world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone — giving millions of people precious seconds to seek cover and hold on when the big one hits,” Gov.Gavin Newsom said in a statement. The iPhone users won’t receive the alerts through Apple’s operating system, but they can download the MyShake app.
Also, the company announced that Android phones would begin detecting earthquakes from around the world through their motion-sensing accelerometers. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer, joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a blog post of the company. More than 2 billion devices run the Android operating system. Hundreds of millions of people live in earthquake-prone areas. But many countries lack the resources to build detection and alert systems, the company said. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate information on the search engine. But the company said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year.
32．If an earthquake hits the US, who won’t receive the earthquake warning
A．Android users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
B．The iPhone users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
C．The iPhone users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
D．Android users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
33．In the context of the article, the term “mass alert system” probably refers to: ______.
A．A system that alerts only a select group of people in the event of an earthquake.
B．A widely used method of communicating earthquake warnings to the general population.
C．A technology that detects earthquakes by monitoring the motion of large objects.
D．A program that allows users to share their location data during an earthquake.
34．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A．To emphasize the importance of earthquake monitoring.
B．To persuade readers to purchase Android phones for earthquake monitoring.
C．To make a search engine company known to the world.
D．To introduce a new function of Android phones.
35．Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the article
A．“California Leads the Way in Earthquake Detection with Android Phones”
B．“Android Phones Transform into Seismometers for Global Earthquake Monitoring”
C．“Earthquake Early Warning System Launched Exclusively for California Residents”
D．“The Future of Earthquake Prediction: Seismic Sensing Through Smartphones”

Besides, one should have patience, the ability to communicate clearly, and the ability to adjust to meet the needs of individual skiers. Most importantly, one has to have ski instructor qualifications and relevant certifications.
Professional ski instructors lead fascinating and exciting lives. If working and skiing at a ski resort most of the day appeals to you, then becoming a ski instructor must be your dream job! 40 If you’re interested, talk to a career counselor (职业顾问) who will help you decide whether it’s the right path for you!

B．Such skills can be harder to learn.

D．Ski instructors can also be self-employed.
E．Such skiers don’t need instructors any more.

The public nowadays has a 56 (misunderstand) of forest fires, 57 (believe) that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smoky the Bear’s famous warning: “Remember, only you can prevent forest fires.” 58 , that’s not always the case. Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, 59 (control) wildfires.
After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into 60 (recent) burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine (松树) snake prefer forests frequently 61 (burn) by fire.
If you are asked to picture the forest floor, 62 do you see Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind—all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up 63 any type of removal, the “fuel load” can lead to fires catastrophic to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fire can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at an appropriate and manageable level. They can also minimize the spread of pest 64 (insect) and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the 65 (grow) of trees, wildflowers and other various plants.

67．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。
There were three children in my family. Kind Larry was the oldest, followed by smart Emily and I. One year, our family moved into a bigger house and we each had our own room. Both Larry and Emily chose to live upstairs while I preferred living in the basement. Emily laughed at me because I picked a room with poor natural light. However, I never cared about it. I had a secret kept only between my brother Larry and me-I wanted to be the neighbor of our large refrigerator where something delicious was always stuffed including the whole family’s favorite-ice cream.
During the week, we drank only milk at our meals and never ate dessert. But Sunday was different- Mom would make her famous roast meat dinner and Dad would make an exception to the dessert rule. One Sunday, my father sat happily at the head of the table and said, “Great meal! I think we should finish it with something special, “He told my brother, “Larry, go downstairs and get Breyers!”
Breyers is a brand of ice cream, the family’s favorite. When it went on sale, my mother would buy some, about a gallon of it, storing it in the refrigerator in the basement for such a special occasion.
But when the moment really came, I spoiled it. For a few nights, I couldn’t resist the temptation and ate a half box of ice cream at the rate of a small spoonful per night. So when Larry was about to run downstairs, I hurriedly pulled his hand under the table. Larry turned to look at me and felt surprised, but he immediately understood what had happened.
Emily was impatient at the table, looking at her empty dinner plate and urging Larry to be quick. Larry didn’t move, and instead, he said to Dad, “Why don’t we enjoy it on Children’s Day ” Dad smiled, “We can eat again on that day. Come on, Larry! Go and get it!” I knew Larry didn’t look like himself today. He was an ice cream lover like everyone else present, but it was unbelievable that he should refuse to eat it today. I felt very sorry for making my brother Larry so embarrassed.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: With one more look at me, Larry had to walk slowly down to the basement.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: To my great shock, just when I hesitated to admit it, Larry said,“Yes. I ate it.”

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍人类穿衣服的基本需求是保暖，但是现在更多的人是为了追求时尚买一些很贵的衣服，但是时尚在不断地变化，所以很多人的衣橱充满了过时的衣服，时尚是一个昂贵的消遣方式。
21．细节理解题。根据第一段“When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer ‘to keep warm and to cover my body’. These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn (当被问到为什么要穿衣服时，有些人可能会回答‘为了保暖和遮盖身体’。这些都是穿衣服的基本原因)”可知，人们穿衣服主要是为了保暖和覆盖身体。故选A。
22．词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion (装满了几乎没穿过但已经不再流行的衣服)”可知，装满了几乎没有穿过但不再流行的衣服，由此可以判断出“wardrobes”是指储藏衣服的“橱柜”。故选B。
23．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice. (时尚总是在变化的，这意味着那些想要时髦的人不得不每隔几个月就买新衣服，即使上个月的衣服只穿过一两次)”并结合文章内容可知，文章主要讲述人类穿衣服的基本需求是保暖，但是现在更多的人是为了追求时尚买一些很贵的衣服，但是时尚在不断地变化，所以很多人的衣橱充满了过时的衣服，时尚是一个昂贵的消遣方式，所以这篇文章的主要内容是服装和时尚。故选A。

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了纽约市地下作业人员的工作状况和所面临的危险。
24．细节理解题。根据第一部分A dangerous job的第一段中“Since I was a boy, I have always looked down open manholes with curiosity, so I welcomed the opportunity to explore and write about the world beneath New York City. (从我还是个孩子的时候起，我就总是好奇地看着敞开的沙井，所以我很高兴有机会探索和写作纽约地下的世界。)”可知，作者是对纽约市地下的东西感兴趣的人。故选C项。
25．细节理解题。根据第一部分A dangerous job的第二段中“Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. (接下来是最艰难的部分，沿着又长又滑的金属梯子再爬10米。)”及“ Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. (隧道挖掘工一直生活在被尖锐的爆炸岩石碎片伤害的恐惧中。)”和第二部分A river of sewage的第一段中“Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step. (我们小心翼翼地往下爬了12米，然后在一个狭窄的混凝土台阶上停了下来，周围的一切都又湿又滑。)”及“He said if you didn’t pull yourself out, you’d drown in the sewage. (他说如果你不把自己拉出来，你就会淹死在污水里。)”可知，地下作业人员面临的危险可能有滑落、被岩石割伤、淹死，但没有提到的是电梯坠落。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。根据第二部分A river of sewage的第一段中“On another trip below the city, sewer worker Jeff Kwami showed me how the city’s sewage is kept flowing smoothly. We went down a manhole wearing plastic bodysuits, gloves, and tanks of air.(在另一次城市地下之旅中，下水道工人Jeff Kwami向我展示了这座城市的污水是如何顺畅流动的。我们穿着塑料紧身衣，戴着手套，带着气罐下了一个沙井。)”可以推知，下水道工人携带气罐，可能因为他们不得不潜入下水道去疏通污水。故选C项。
27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Later, as we left the darkness and danger below, Kwami joked, ‘See any alligators ’ Over the years, there have been stories about giant alligators living in the sewers. I tell Kwami that in 1935, the New York Times reported an alligator was pulled from a sewer. He still didn’t believe it, and we laugh together as we climb back to the surface. (后来，当我们离开下面的黑暗和危险时，Kwami开玩笑说：‘看到鳄鱼了吗 ’多年来，一直有关于生活在下水道里的巨鳄的故事。我告诉Kwami，1935年，《纽约时报》(New York Times)报道说，有人从下水道里拉出了一条短吻鳄。他还是不相信，我们一起笑着爬回地面。)”可知，本段主要描述了他们在离开黑暗和危险的时候讲幽默故事，以使恐惧紧张的情绪轻松愉悦起来。虽然是讲故事，但这已经超出了故事的意义。D“只是一个故事？”符合本段主题，故选D项。
28．D 29．C 30．B 31．D
【语篇导读】
本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了两位二战老兵因为共同的战争经历而结下了深厚的友谊，虽然年事已高，仍然致力于服务社会。

Elders became his advertising manager. They donated most of their income to the Wounded Warrior project. (后来，两人一起为日落庄园的其他居民服务。约翰开始在天气好的时候给汽车做细节设计，在冬天给步行者做清洁。埃尔德斯成了他的广告经理。他们把大部分收入捐给了“伤兵”项目)”可知，两人致力于为社会做贡献。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据第四段“War often develops lasting friendships. But for the two World War II veterans (老兵) living at Sunset Manor in Jenison, their friendship didn’t begin until about a year and a half ago. One day, Elders noticed a man sitting at a cafeteria in the Sunset Village, and that was Nelson. Seeing his Marine cap, Elders thought they would have something to talk about. And they did. The war in the Pacific is a common bond. (战争往往能培养出持久的友谊。但对于住在杰尼森日落庄园的两位二战老兵来说，他们的友谊直到一年半前才开始。一天，埃尔德斯注意到一个人坐在日落村的自助餐厅里，那就是纳尔逊。看到他的海军帽，埃尔德斯想他们应该有话可聊了。他们做到了。太平洋战争是一个共同的纽带)”结合本文主要讲述了两位老兵经历战争、成为朋友并共同奉献社会的一系列人生经历。即这篇文章主要讲了两个老兵的生活经历和友谊。故选D项。

本文一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了一家搜索引擎公司宣布，Android手机将被用于全球地震感应，并可能有朝一日能够提供全球预警。
32．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The iPhone users won’t receive the alerts through Apple’s operating system,but they can download the MyShake app. (苹果用户不会通过苹果的操作系统收到提醒，但他们可以下载MyShake应用程序。)”可知，苹果手机使用苹果的操作系统将无法接收地震警报，只有下载MyShake才能接收地震警报。故没有下载MyShake的苹果手机用户无法收到地震警报。故选C。
33．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The company, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the United States Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system.(该公司帮助开发了安卓系统，并与加州和美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey）合作，将地震警报安装到所有运行通用移动操作系统的手机中。)”可知，该搜索引擎公司与加利福尼亚州和美国地质调查局合作，在Android手机上建立了地震警报功能。文章提到，第一个大规模警报系统于8月11日在加利福尼亚州投入使用。这表明“mass alert system”是指一种广泛使用的向公众传达地震警告的方法。故选B。
34．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段“Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, a search engine company announced. (一家搜索引擎公司宣布，Android手机将用于感知世界各地的地震，并有一天能够提供全球地震警报，首个大规模预警系统将于8月11日在加州投入使用。)”可知，本文主要介绍了安卓手机可收到地震预警的新功能。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。文章第一段“Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, a search engine company announced. (一家搜索引擎公司宣布，Android手机将用于感知世界各地的地震，并有一天能够提供全球地震警报，首个大规模预警系统将于8月11日在加州投入使用。)介绍了Android手机将用于感知和预警地震世界各地的地震；下文介绍这个系统是由一家搜索引擎公司、加利福尼亚州和美国地质调查局合作开发的，旨在将地震预警功能整合到所有运行Android操作系统的手机中，这些手机可以通过其内置的加速度计来检测全球范围内的地震，形成一个庞大的地震检测网络。由此可知，本文主要介绍Android手机将被用于全球地震感应的新功能；选项B“Android Phones Transform into Seismometers for Global Earthquake Monitoring(Android手机转变成地震仪用于全球地震监测)”能够概括文章主旨，最适合作为的标题。故选B。

39．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Surely, one must be familiar with skiing and have certain skiing skills and experience. Besides, one should have patience, the ability to communicate clearly, and the ability to adjust to meet the needs of individual skiers. Most importantly, one has to have ski instructor qualifications and relevant certifications.(当然，一个人必须熟悉滑雪，有一定的滑雪技巧和经验。此外，要有耐心，要有清晰的沟通能力，要有适应个人需求的能力。最重要的是，一个人必须有滑雪教练资格和相关证书。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是成为滑雪教练的要求。选项G“What are the requirements for working as a ski instructor (滑雪教练的工作要求是什么？)”正是本段主要内容，指的是滑雪教练的工作要求。故选G。
40．根据下文“If you’re interested, talk to a career counselor(职业顾问) who will help you decide whether it’s the right path for you!(如果你有兴趣，可以和职业顾问谈谈，他会帮你决定这条路是否适合你！)”可知，下文讲述的是如果想要成为滑雪教练，可以咨询职业顾问，他会帮助你决定这条路是否适合你。选项F“However, not everyone is cut out to be a ski instructor.(然而，并不是每个人都适合做滑雪教练。)”与下文内容一致，指的是不是每个人都适合做滑雪教练，所以需要咨询职业顾问。故选F。

A Great Artist
The artist who has greatly influenced me is Frida Kahlo. She was a Mexican painter who used her art to share her unique perspective and experience of life. Kahlo’s powerful paintings, filled with symbolism and vibrant colors, reflect her resilience and strength in the face of personal tragedy. Her unwavering determination to create despite her physical challenges is truly inspiring. She reminds me that art has the power to transform and heal, and that we should embrace our vulnerabilities and differences.

【范文】
With one more look at me, Larry had to walk slowly down to the basement. I felt extremely guilty for eating the ice cream. I wanted to confess, but I was too scared to speak up. As Larry returned with an empty container, everyone looked confused. Dad asked, “Where’s the ice cream ” Larry replied, “It looks like someone has eaten it all.” I lowered my head, hoping no one would notice my embarrassment.
To my great shock, just when I hesitated to admit it, Larry said, “Yes. I ate it.” My eyes widened in disbelief. Larry continued, “I was feeling hungry late at night and couldn’t resist the temptation. I’m sorry.” I was puzzled why Larry would take the blame for me. Later, when we were alone, Larry explained that he didn’t want me to feel guilty and wanted to teach me a lesson about honesty. I thanked him and promised to never do something like that again. From that day on, I became more truthful and responsible.

第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer “to keep warm and to cover my body”. These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer’s body just as well.
Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!
21．What do people basically wear clothes for
A．Keeping warm and covering bodies.
B．Following the fashion.
C．Looking attractive to others.
D．Appearing successful to others.
22．What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Fashionable clothes shops.
B．Cupboards for storing clothes.
C．The clothes that some people have.
D．Shelves used for keeping books.
23．What is the passage mainly about

New York’s Underside
A dangerous job
Since I was a boy, I have always looked down open manholes with curiosity, so I welcomed the opportunity to explore and write about the world beneath New York City. With a group of 11 “sandhogs” — the nickname for the workers who build New York’s underground — boarded a slow, shaky elevator lit by a single light bulb. Slowly we went down a shaft dug through 200 meters of rock. The sandhogs were building a new tunnel to bring water into the city, The present tunnel system carries more than 5.6 billion liters of water every day. That’s enough water to fill more than 2,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
As we descended, it got dark and the air got cool. I looked up into darkness and down into deeper blackness, then the elevator stopped, and everyone got out. Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. At the bottom was a dark tunnel filled with dust and smoke. Sandhogs were using explosives like dynamite to cut through the solid rock. The tunnel extends slowly — only four meters a day — and with each day come new dangers. Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. Their bodies are covered in such scars.
“Why do this work ” I asked Brian Gallagher, a sandhog for 16 years. Brian’s father was a sandhog, too, but it is not tradition that brought him here. “It’s the money,” he said. An experienced sandhog earns over $100,000 a year. The rewards are well deserved. A sandhog’s chances of dying on the job are far greater than those of an above-ground construction worker, or even a New York City police officer.“Everything down here can kill you,“ one sandhog said. They know many more workers will die before the tunnel is completed.
A river of sewage
On another trip below the city, sewer worker Jeff Kwami showed me how the city’s sewage is kept flowing smoothly. We went down a manhole wearing plastic bodysuits, gloves, and tanks of air. Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step. In front of me was a fast-moving river of sewage nearly two meters wide. It smelled awful. I asked Kwami, “What happens if you fall in and you’re not attached to a rope ” He said if you didn’t pull yourself out, you’d drown in the sewage. But unlike the dangers sandhogs face, such situations are rare. As we move through the sewer, Kwami seems calm and confident, but it’s still a terrifying thought.
Later, as we left the darkness and danger below, Kwami joked, “See any alligators ” Over the years, there have been stories about giant alligators living in the sewers. I tell Kwami that in 1935, the New York Times reported an alligator was pulled from a sewer. He still didn’t believe it, and we laugh together as we climb back to the surface.

John Nelson, 92, grew up in Michigan and volunteered for the army in 1945.The 18-year-old managed to get accepted, despite being colorblind. He landed on the island of Iwo Jima in the first days of the American attack to take the island from the Japanese. Nelson fought day and night for 10 days before receiving a serious wound to his right arm. The other seven men in his squadron (中队) all died. American losses included 5,900 dead and 17,400 wounded.
Nelson saw the American flag being raised on Mount Suribachi after the island was taken by the American forces. The arm would continue to trouble him the rest of his life. Suffering from anxiety and flashbacks, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).
Al Elders was a Grandville farm boy. He joined the Navy and was stationed on Guam when the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Aug. 6 and 9,1945, basically ended the war with Japan.
War often develops lasting friendships. But for the two World War II veterans (老兵) living at Sunset Manor in Jenison, their friendship didn’t begin until about a year and a half ago. One day, Elders noticed a man sitting at a cafeteria in the Sunset Village, and that was Nelson. Seeing his Marine cap, Elders thought they would have something to talk about. And they did. The war in the Pacific is a common bond.
The two men later worked together to serve other residents (居民) at Sunset Manor. John began detailing cars during good weather and cleaning walkers in the winter. Elders became his advertising manager. They donated most of their income to the Wounded Warrior project. John is less mobile now and is in care at Sunset. Al continues to visit and to encourage his friend. A friend of Elders’ who traveled to Iwo Jima brought back a jar filled with sand from the rocky island. Elders sent the gift, along with his own wartime collections, to the Seabee Museum and Memorial Park.

Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, a search engine company announced.
The company, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the United States Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning telling them to seek cover. The screen also will provide estimates of the quake’s magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.
Users won’t need to download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about 1 million of California’s 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.
“This announcement means that California’s world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone — giving millions of people precious seconds to seek cover and hold on when the big one hits,” Gov.Gavin Newsom said in a statement. The iPhone users won’t receive the alerts through Apple’s operating system, but they can download the MyShake app.
Also, the company announced that Android phones would begin detecting earthquakes from around the world through their motion-sensing accelerometers. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer, joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a blog post of the company. More than 2 billion devices run the Android operating system. Hundreds of millions of people live in earthquake-prone areas. But many countries lack the resources to build detection and alert systems, the company said. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate information on the search engine. But the company said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year.
32．If an earthquake hits the US, who won’t receive the earthquake warning
A．Android users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
B．The iPhone users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
C．The iPhone users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
D．Android users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
33．In the context of the article, the term “mass alert system” probably refers to: ______.
A．A system that alerts only a select group of people in the event of an earthquake.
B．A widely used method of communicating earthquake warnings to the general population.
C．A technology that detects earthquakes by monitoring the motion of large objects.
D．A program that allows users to share their location data during an earthquake.
34．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A．To emphasize the importance of earthquake monitoring.
B．To persuade readers to purchase Android phones for earthquake monitoring.
C．To make a search engine company known to the world.
D．To introduce a new function of Android phones.
35．Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the article
A．“California Leads the Way in Earthquake Detection with Android Phones”
B．“Android Phones Transform into Seismometers for Global Earthquake Monitoring”
C．“Earthquake Early Warning System Launched Exclusively for California Residents”
D．“The Future of Earthquake Prediction: Seismic Sensing Through Smartphones”

The public nowadays has a 56 (misunderstand) of forest fires, 57 (believe) that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smoky the Bear’s famous warning: “Remember, only you can prevent forest fires.” 58 , that’s not always the case. Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, 59 (control) wildfires.
After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into 60 (recent) burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine (松树) snake prefer forests frequently 61 (burn) by fire.
If you are asked to picture the forest floor, 62 do you see Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind—all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up 63 any type of removal, the “fuel load” can lead to fires catastrophic to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fire can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at an appropriate and manageable level. They can also minimize the spread of pest 64 (insect) and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the 65 (grow) of trees, wildflowers and other various plants.

67．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。
There were three children in my family. Kind Larry was the oldest, followed by smart Emily and I. One year, our family moved into a bigger house and we each had our own room. Both Larry and Emily chose to live upstairs while I preferred living in the basement. Emily laughed at me because I picked a room with poor natural light. However, I never cared about it. I had a secret kept only between my brother Larry and me-I wanted to be the neighbor of our large refrigerator where something delicious was always stuffed including the whole family’s favorite-ice cream.
During the week, we drank only milk at our meals and never ate dessert. But Sunday was different- Mom would make her famous roast meat dinner and Dad would make an exception to the dessert rule. One Sunday, my father sat happily at the head of the table and said, “Great meal! I think we should finish it with something special, “He told my brother, “Larry, go downstairs and get Breyers!”
Breyers is a brand of ice cream, the family’s favorite. When it went on sale, my mother would buy some, about a gallon of it, storing it in the refrigerator in the basement for such a special occasion.
But when the moment really came, I spoiled it. For a few nights, I couldn’t resist the temptation and ate a half box of ice cream at the rate of a small spoonful per night. So when Larry was about to run downstairs, I hurriedly pulled his hand under the table. Larry turned to look at me and felt surprised, but he immediately understood what had happened.
Emily was impatient at the table, looking at her empty dinner plate and urging Larry to be quick. Larry didn’t move, and instead, he said to Dad, “Why don’t we enjoy it on Children’s Day ” Dad smiled, “We can eat again on that day. Come on, Larry! Go and get it!” I knew Larry didn’t look like himself today. He was an ice cream lover like everyone else present, but it was unbelievable that he should refuse to eat it today. I felt very sorry for making my brother Larry so embarrassed.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: With one more look at me, Larry had to walk slowly down to the basement.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: To my great shock, just when I hesitated to admit it, Larry said,“Yes. I ate it.”

21．细节理解题。根据第一段“When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer ‘to keep warm and to cover my body’. These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn (当被问到为什么要穿衣服时，有些人可能会回答‘为了保暖和遮盖身体’。这些都是穿衣服的基本原因)”可知，人们穿衣服主要是为了保暖和覆盖身体。故选A。
22．词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion (装满了几乎没穿过但已经不再流行的衣服)”可知，装满了几乎没有穿过但不再流行的衣服，由此可以判断出“wardrobes”是指储藏衣服的“橱柜”。故选B。
23．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice. (时尚总是在变化的，这意味着那些想要时髦的人不得不每隔几个月就买新衣服，即使上个月的衣服只穿过一两次)”并结合文章内容可知，文章主要讲述人类穿衣服的基本需求是保暖，但是现在更多的人是为了追求时尚买一些很贵的衣服，但是时尚在不断地变化，所以很多人的衣橱充满了过时的衣服，时尚是一个昂贵的消遣方式，所以这篇文章的主要内容是服装和时尚。故选A。

25．细节理解题。根据第一部分A dangerous job的第二段中“Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. (接下来是最艰难的部分，沿着又长又滑的金属梯子再爬10米。)”及“ Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. (隧道挖掘工一直生活在被尖锐的爆炸岩石碎片伤害的恐惧中。)”和第二部分A river of sewage的第一段中“Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step.

34．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段“Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, a search engine company announced. (一家搜索引擎公司宣布，Android手机将用于感知世界各地的地震，并有一天能够提供全球地震警报，首个大规模预警系统将于8月11日在加州投入使用。)”可知，本文主要介绍了安卓手机可收到地震预警的新功能。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。文章第一段“Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, a search engine company announced. (一家搜索引擎公司宣布，Android手机将用于感知世界各地的地震，并有一天能够提供全球地震警报，首个大规模预警系统将于8月11日在加州投入使用。)介绍了Android手机将用于感知和预警地震世界各地的地震；下文介绍这个系统是由一家搜索引擎公司、加利福尼亚州和美国地质调查局合作开发的，旨在将地震预警功能整合到所有运行Android操作系统的手机中，这些手机可以通过其内置的加速度计来检测全球范围内的地震，形成一个庞大的地震检测网络。由此可知，本文主要介绍Android手机将被用于全球地震感应的新功能；选项B“Android Phones Transform into Seismometers for Global Earthquake Monitoring(Android手机转变成地震仪用于全球地震监测)”能够概括文章主旨，最适合作为的标题。故选B。

A Great Artist
The artist who has greatly influenced me is Frida Kahlo. She was a Mexican painter who used her art to share her unique perspective and experience of life. Kahlo’s powerful paintings, filled with symbolism and vibrant colors, reflect her resilience and strength in the face of personal tragedy. Her unwavering determination to create despite her physical challenges is truly inspiring. She reminds me that art has the power to transform and heal, and that we should embrace our vulnerabilities and differences.

With one more look at me, Larry had to walk slowly down to the basement. I felt extremely guilty for eating the ice cream. I wanted to confess, but I was too scared to speak up. As Larry returned with an empty container, everyone looked confused. Dad asked, “Where’s the ice cream ” Larry replied, “It looks like someone has eaten it all.” I lowered my head, hoping no one would notice my embarrassment.
To my great shock, just when I hesitated to admit it, Larry said, “Yes. I ate it.” My eyes widened in disbelief. Larry continued, “I was feeling hungry late at night and couldn’t resist the temptation. I’m sorry.” I was puzzled why Larry would take the blame for me. Later, when we were alone, Larry explained that he didn’t want me to feel guilty and wanted to teach me a lesson about honesty. I thanked him and promised to never do something like that again. From that day on, I became more truthful and responsible.
