Where does the inspiration come from Photographer Levon Biss got it when looking at beetles from his garden. He recently bought a microscope for his son. For fun, they placed a beetle under the lens. “It blew me away,” Biss recalls. “It was beautiful.” He wondered if he could capture that beauty in a photograph.
Until then, Biss had made a career as a commercial photographer. Insects gave his work a new goal. Around the world, insect populations are in decline because of pesticides (杀虫剂), habitat loss, and climate change. Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his son’s microscope, they would care more about protecting insects. “I’ve got a photographic technique and a skill,” he says. “If I can do this, I should use it for a better purpose.”
Biss turned to a type of photography that involves taking close-up pictures of small things, like flowers or bugs. His pictures show the insects in all their wonderful, microscopic detail. What is more wonderful is that Biss blows them up into larger-than-life images to be displayed in his exhibitions. Some are eight feet tall.
In 2016, Biss exhibited his first insect project, Microsculpture. That’s a scientific term. For his latest exhibition, Extinct and Endangered, Biss photographed bugs from the collection at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. With the help of the museum’s scientists, he selected bugs that were either extinct or endangered. “It’s a humbling experience, when you’re holding an insect that’s extinct,” Biss says. “The human species is responsible for the current insect crisis. It’s sad to know this insect will never be on this planet again.”
Biss hopes his photographs will get people thinking the same way. “The way I work is through pictures. I communicate visually in the way a writer communicates through words,” he says. “Hopefully, these pictures can shake things up and get people to pay attention.”
24．What inspired Biss to take pictures of insects
A．His job as a photographer. B．The insect’s beauty he found.
C．The microscope he had bought. D．His dream to hold an exhibition.
25．What does the underlined phrase “a better purpose” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Taking close-up pictures.
B．Practicing his relevant skills.
C．Encouraging people to protect insects.
D．Passing on knowledge about endangered insects.
26．What can we infer about Biss’ latest exhibition
A．It’s held in the American Museum of Natural History.
B．Its theme was microsculpture.
C．It was organized by Biss alone.
D．Its pictures were much larger than normal insects.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．A New Way to Take Pictures B．Appreciate Insects in Detail
C．Achievements Biss Has Made D．Learn More about Insects’ Present Situation
C
If you’re a white-collar worker working at an office, it’s unlikely that anyone can guess exactly what you do from your clothes. That’s not true for lots of the people you interact with. The bus driver who gets you to your destination, and the people on reception as you enter the building — they’re likely to be wearing some kind of corporate uniform. A poll of American workers conducted last summer by Gallup found that although most employees wear casual clothes, almost a quarter wear a uniform.
Some employers require uniforms, since they help ensure a level of professionalism in appearance, project a brand identity with useful job-specific features, and send a clear signal to customers about whom they should approach with questions.
Those customers draw different conclusions if staff are in uniform. A study by Robert Smith of Tilburg University and his colleagues asked people to imagine being on the receiving end of poor service when picking up a pizza. They were then shown pictures of uniformed or non-uniformed employees. Participants were more likely to blame the company than the individual for a bad experience when a uniform was involved. If corporate clothing makes each worker seem more representative of their employers, the authors suggest that it may be a good idea not to give it to inexperienced workers.
Uniforms can also affect the psychology of employees. In 2012, Hajo Adam and Adam Galinsky coined the term “unclothed cognition” to describe the effect that specific clothes have on the way people think and feel. In one study, Emilie Caspar of Ghent University gave participants the option to apply minor electric shocks to other people in return for money; those dressed in Red Cross uniforms showed more empathy than those in normal outfits.
The effects uniforms have on workers will obviously vary. The obvious objection to uniforms is that they lack individuality. But employees who don’t have to wear a formal uniform tend to have their own pattern of dressing, thus forming another informal uniform.
28．What do we know about white-collar office workers
A．They must follow strict rules about uniforms.
B．Their way of dressing reveals their job duties.
C．Their clothes may not be relevant to their work.
D．They wear uniforms to inspire customers’ interest.
29．What did the participants do in the study in Para. 3
A．They imagined being served in a shop.
B．They dressed up in employees’ uniform.
C．They were asked to work in a pizza shop.
D．They ordered pizza from uniformed employees.
30．Why are workplace uniforms disliked by some people
A．They block customers’ en-clothed cognition.
B．They re an expression of being inexperienced.
C．They are inferior to their own pattern of dressing.
D．They lack an express on of wearers’ individuality.
31．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．An essay on fashion trend.
B．A review of workplace culture
C．A guidebook about making clothes.
D．An introduction about social customs.

Wall Street bankers, investors and economists have for months argued over whether a US recession (衰退) is coming. But for some Americans, the unforgiving economic pain typical during recession has already set in.
Al Brown and his wife faced a tough call in May when reviewing their weekly budget: what’s a higher priority, more food or dish soap Based in Concord, North Carolina, Brown was the main breadwinner for his wife and their two children. Then in April, he was let go from his job as a global director of business development at software company Cascade. He’s since quit his gym membership and sold various items around his home, including a computer and yard furniture. His 13-year-old son quit the basketball team.
Brown, 37, now spends his days searching the internet for jobs or reaching out to potential connections. After filing over 600 applications, only a handful have produced interviews. That’s a far cry from the labor-market strength described in government figures.
Investors and economists have been expecting a recession since last year as the Fed raised interest rates to control inflation (通货膨胀). That caused companies to focus on profitability over growth, which meant cutting spending and reducing their workforces.
“I think it’s unlikely that I will get another good paying job with great benefits like the one I had,” McCollum, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio, said. More Americans are likely to encounter similar cases, some experts predict.
“As we go through this year, and into next year, there is still going to be this focus on trying to reduce costs, and it is going to result in more unemployment,” said Thomas Simons, a senior economist at Jefferies. “The impact of layoffs, currently concentrated among white-collar workers, will last throughout the economy through a ‘big pullback in overall spending’,” Simons said. “Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of economic output, so if more Americans are forced to cut back because they were laid off, that might throw the US economy into a recession.”
32．What are some Americans currently going through
A．They can’t afford necessities of life. B．They’ve lost interest in high-end gyms.
C．They are badly treated by their bosses. D．They have difficulty making ends meet.
33．What does the author want to demonstrate through Brown’s job hunting
A．One should try various ways to find a job.
B．American labor market is not that friendly to job-seekers.
C．Few companies are interested in middle-aged job-hunters.
D．The government provides accurate figures of the job market.
34．How do companies deal with the economic struggles
A．By employing more workers. B．By changing interest rates.
C．By giving priority to profits. D．By cutting employees’ allowances.
35．Which statement will Thomas Simons probably agree with
A．Laid-off workers tend to go into debt.
B．Lower consumption may worsen the current situation.
C．Americans will spend more to increase economic output.
D．Companies are to blame for the unemployment of white-collar workers.

Children and adolescents require support from adults, especially parents and teachers. Such support builds a healthy environment for their emotional growth and brain development. 36 Here are a few tips for offering them the guidance they need during adolescent development.
Teens need to gradually work toward independence. Caregivers can help adolescents gain independence by allowing them to make their own choices. You may also practice showing your teen love and compassion when they make mistakes to teach them that failures can be helpful growth Opportunities. 37
Even if they don’t act like it, your teen likely looks up to you. It’s normal for young people to look to adults in their lives for how to behave. 38 Seeing you put these things into practice first can help them fill their toolboxes with these tools, which will be useful to them throughout the rest of their lives.
39 In this way your child feels they can come to you with challenges or concerns. It’s true that your teens may think it unnecessary or even annoying to communicate with you. 40 However, your positive relationship with your children remains important for them to feel safe.
In a word, proper guidance from parents and teachers can equip adolescents with the tools to handle challenges later in life as adults.
A．In this way, you can encourage their independence.
B．Your definition of children or adolescence may vary.
C．Remember to keep the lines of communication open.
D．Seeking the support of a mental health doctor is needed.
E．However, you may not know exactly how to provide this.
F．You can support them simply by modeling healthy behaviors.
G．Instead, they may rely more on peers and friends for connection.

We entered the Year of the Dragon. Or should that be the Year of the Loong That is a question that has been 61 subject for debate in China, as some say there is a difference between the two in Chinese and Western mythology.
They point to dragons in the West being usually thought of as evil creatures. Dragons, they say, are 62 (typical) seen as symbols of chaos, 63 (describe) as enemies in Western mythology and literature. In Chinese culture, Loong are seen as symbols of power, 64 (excellent), and good luck. The Loong 65 (be) a central concept in Chinese culture for thousands of years, and its origins can be traced back to early Chinese civilization through mythology and religious beliefs. 66 Loong were believed 67 (have) control over natural phenomena such as rain, and water, and were associated with the productivity of the land, Loong became symbols of strength and good fortune.
The differences 68 the belief of the mythical creatures in China and the West 69 (root) in their different cultural values. Thus the answer to the question at the beginning is clear: Whether or not to use Loong instead of dragon is not important. What is important is 70 as we enter a new lunar year people globally appreciate the cultural values embodied in such Chinese symbols as Loong.

(灵感从何而来？摄影师Levon Biss在花园里观察甲虫时拍下了这张照片。他最近给儿子买了一台显微镜。为了好玩，他们在镜头下放了一只甲虫。“这让我大吃一惊，”Biss回忆道。“太美了。”他想知道他是否能在照片中捕捉到这种美。)”可知，Biss拍摄昆虫的灵感来源于他发现的昆虫之美。故选B项。
25．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“Insects gave his work a new goal. Around the world, insect populations are in decline because of pesticides (杀虫剂), habitat loss, and climate change. Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his son’s microscope, they would care more about protecting insects. “I’ve got a photographic technique and a skill,” he says. “If I can do this, I should use it for a better purpose.” (昆虫给了他一个新的工作目标。在世界范围内，由于杀虫剂、栖息地丧失和气候变化，昆虫数量正在下降。比斯认为，如果人们能看到他通过儿子的显微镜看到的东西，他们就会更关心保护昆虫。“我有摄影技术和技能，”他说。“如果我能做到这一点，我应该把它用于更好的目的。”) ”可知，a better purpose指的是鼓励人们保护昆虫。A. Taking close-up pictures拍摄特写照片；B. Practicing his relevant skills练习他的相关技能；C. Encouraging people to protect insects鼓励人们保护昆虫；D. Passing on knowledge about endangered insects传播有关濒危昆虫的知识。故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“What is more wonderful is that Biss blows them up into larger-than-life images to be displayed in his exhibitions. Some are eight feet tall.(更奇妙的是，比斯把它们放大成比真人更大的图像，在他的展览中展出。有些有八英尺高。)”可知，Biss的最新展览中的图片比普通昆虫要大很多。故选D项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“Biss hopes his photographs will get people thinking the same way. “The way I work is through pictures. I communicate visually in the way a writer communicates through words,” he says. “Hopefully, these pictures can shake things up and get people to pay attention.” (Biss希望他的照片能让人们以同样的方式思考。“我的工作方式是通过照片。我用作家通过文字交流的方式进行视觉交流，”他说。“希望这些照片能改变现状，引起人们的关注。”)”可知，整篇文章主要讲述了摄影师Levon Biss如何通过微距摄影展现昆虫的微观美，以此唤起人们对昆虫保护的意识。因此，最合适的标题是 B. “Appreciate Insects in Detail (仔细欣赏昆虫)”。故选B项。
28．C 29．A 30．D 31．B

29．细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“A study by Robert Smith of Tilburg University and his colleagues asked people to imagine being on the receiving end of poor service when picking up a pizza.(蒂尔堡大学的罗伯特·史密斯和他的同事们进行的一项研究要求人们想象在取披萨时遭遇糟糕服务的情况。)”可知，参与者在研究中被要求想象在商店接受服务的情景。故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“The obvious objection to uniforms is that they lack individuality.(对制服的明显反对意见是它们缺乏个性。)”可知，有些人不喜欢工作场所的制服，是因为它们缺乏个性。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Some employers require uniforms, since they help ensure a level of professionalism in appearance, project a brand identity with useful job-specific features, and send a clear signal to customers about whom they should approach with questions.(一些雇主要求穿制服，因为这有助于确保外表的专业水平，用有用的特定工作特征来展示品牌形象，并向客户明确示意他们应该向谁提出问题。)”和第三段“Those customers draw different conclusions if staff are in uniform.(如果员工穿制服，这些顾客会得出不同的结论。)”可知，本文主要讨论了制服对员工的影响，包括帮助公司树立形象、影响顾客的看法以及对员工心理的影响等。因此，这篇文章最有可能出自一篇关于职场文化的评论。故选B。
32．D 33．B 34．C 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国正在经历经济衰退，以布朗一家为例说明了其影响。

But for some Americans, the unforgiving economic pain typical during recession has already set in.(数月来，华尔街银行家、投资者和经济学家一直在争论美国是否即将陷入衰退。但对一些美国人来说，经济衰退期间典型的无情的经济痛苦已经开始了)”以及后文布朗家生活日渐拮据的例子表明，一些美国人目前正在经历入不敷出。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段“Brown, 37, now spends his days searching the internet for jobs or reaching out to potential connections. After filing over 600 applications, only a handful have produced interviews. That’s a far cry from the labor-market strength described in government figures.(37岁的布朗现在每天都在网上搜索工作，或者联系潜在的人脉。在提交了600多份申请后，只有少数获得了面试机会。这与政府数据所描述的劳动力市场强劲程度相去甚远)”可知，作者想通过布朗的求职来证明美国劳动力市场对求职者并不那么友好。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段“That caused companies to focus on profitability over growth, which meant cutting spending and reducing their workforces.(这导致企业更关注盈利能力，而不是增长，这意味着削减支出和裁员)”可知，企业优先考虑利润来应对经济困境。故选C。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段““As we go through this year, and into next year, there is still going to be this focus on trying to reduce costs, and it is going to result in more unemployment,” said Thomas Simons, a senior economist at Jefferies.(杰富瑞高级经济学家托马斯 西蒙斯表示：“随着今年和明年的过去，人们仍将把重点放在试图降低成本上，这将导致更多的失业。”)”可知，托马斯·西蒙斯可能会同意较低的消费可能会使目前的情况恶化。故选B。

You may also practice showing your teen love and compassion when they make mistakes to teach them that failures can be helpful growth Opportunities.(照顾者可以让青少年做出自己的选择，从而帮助他们获得独立。你也可以练习在孩子犯错时表现出爱和同情，教会他们失败可以帮助成长)”说明照顾青少年的成年人可以让他们自己做出选择，从而帮助他们获得独立。空处总结前文。A项中的“encourage their independence”和前文中的“gain independence ”相呼应，说明上述做法带来的正面效果，即鼓励青少年独立。所以A项“通过这种方式，你可以鼓励他们的独立性。”符合语境。故选A。

It’s true that your teens may think it unnecessary or even annoying to communicate with you.(通过这种方式，你的孩子觉得他们可以带着挑战或担忧来找你。的确，你的青少年可能认为与你交流是不必要的，甚至是令人讨厌的)”说明本段说给建议为需要和孩子们及时的沟通。C项中的communication 和下文中的“communicate with you”相呼应。C项“记住保持沟通渠道畅通。”适合作本段的主旨句。故选C。
40．上文“It’s true that your teens may think it unnecessary or even annoying to communicate with you.(的确，你的青少年可能认为与你交流是不必要的，甚至是令人讨厌的)”说明青少年们可能觉得和成年人交流是不必要的。空处和前文形成对比，解释了青少年在沟通偏好上的变化，即使他们可能不愿意与父母交流，但与同龄人的联系对他们来说变得更加重要。G项“相反，他们可能更依赖同龄人和朋友建立联系。”符合语境。故选G。
41．D 42．C 43．C 44．A 45．C 46．D 47．A 48．B 49．B 50．A 51．B 52．D 53．C 54．D 55．A 56．C 57．D 58．A 59．B 60．B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了中国龙与西方龙的区别，强调中国文化中龙象征权力、卓越和好运，而西方文化中的龙常代表邪恶。两种观念的差异源自不同的文化价值观。关键在于全球应欣赏中国象征如龙所蕴含的文化价值，而非纠结名称翻译。
61．考查冠词。句意：这是一个在中国一直存在争议的问题，因为有人说这两者在中国和西方神话中是有区别的。此处泛指“一个问题”，且subject以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
62．考查副词。句意：他们说，龙通常被视为混沌的象征，在西方神话和文学中被描述为敌人。本空用副词typically“通常”，修饰动词seen，作状语。故填typically。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：他们说，龙通常被视为混沌的象征，在西方神话和文学中被描述为敌人。本句谓语为are seen as，此处为非谓语动词，且describe“描述”与逻辑主语Dragons构成被动关系，用过去分词，作后置定语，修饰Dragons。故填described。
64．考查名词。句意：在中国文化中，龙被视为权力、卓越和好运的象征。本空用excellence“卓越”，与power和good luck并列，作介词of的宾语。故填excellence。
65．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：几千年以来，龙一直是中国文化中的一个中心概念，其起源可以追溯到中国早期文明的神话和宗教信仰。根据时间状语for thousands of years可知，本句使用现在完成时，主语The Loong是第三人称单数，因此助动词用has。故填has been。
66．考查原因状语从句。句意：由于龙被认为可以控制雨水和水等自然现象，并与土地的生产力有关，龙成为力量和好运的象征。本空用since/because/as“因为”，引导原因状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Since/Because/As。
67．考查非谓语动词。句意：由于龙被认为可以控制雨水和水等自然现象，并与土地的生产力有关，龙成为力量和好运的象征。be believed to do sth.“被认为做某事”。本句谓语为were believed ，此处为非谓语动词，本空用have“有”的不定式。故填to have。
68．考查介词。句意：中西方神话生物信仰的差异源于文化价值的不同。本空用介词in，表示“在……方面”。故填in。
69．考查时态和语态。句意：中国和西方对这种神话生物信仰的差异根植于他们的不同文化价值观中。本句陈述事实，用一般现在时，主语differences与动词root“（使）生根”构成被动关系，因此使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用are。故填are rooted。
70．考查表语从句。句意：重要的是，随着我们进入一个新的农历年，全球人民都能欣赏到龙这样的中国象征所体现的文化价值。本空引导表语从句，从句不缺少任何成分，也不缺少含义，用that引导。故填that。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要叙述了作者上周六去附近博物馆参观的一次经历。
【详解】1.考查副词。句意：上周六，我去了附近的一个博物馆，在那儿玩得很开心。作者上周六去了博物馆，讲述时应该表示在“那里”玩得开心。故将here改为there。
2.考查时态。句意：天气晴朗，于是我决定骑自行车去，以此来一次环保的出行。根据“It was sunny”及文章整体时态可知，decide为过去发生的动作，应用一般过去式。故将decide改为decided。
3.考查形容词。句意：天气晴朗，于是我决定骑自行车去，以此来一次环保的出行。上下文没有明确对比，应用形容词的原级。故将greener改为green。
4.考查冠词。句意：大约骑行了一个小时后，我终于到达了博物馆入口。特指博物馆的入口，需要加上定冠词the来限定。故entrance前加the。
5.考查非谓语。句意：我迅速地检了票，跟着一群由知识渊博的导游带领的游客走进了博物馆。have sth. done意为“使某事被做”，check应用过去分词作宾语补足语。故将check改为checked。
6.考查定语从句。句意：我迅速地检了票，跟着一群由知识渊博的导游带领的游客走进了博物馆。先行词为a tour guide的非限制性定语从句，先行词指人，不能用which引导。故将which改为who。
7.考查介词。句意：她对每个展品都给出了生动的描述。give 应接双宾语，构成give sb. sth.的结构，to是多余的。故删掉a之前的to。
8.考查主谓一致。句意：给我印象最深的是汉字的发展历程。句子为what引导的主语从句做主语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数。故将were改为was。
9.考查代词。句意：这次参观不仅增强了我对中国历史的兴趣，而且拓宽了我的视野。整篇文章都是以第一人称单数叙述的，应保持前后人称的一致。故将our改为my。
10.考查固定搭配。句意：这次参观不仅增强了我对中国历史的兴趣，而且拓宽了我的视野。not only...but (also)是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”，用于连接两个并列成分。故将and改为but。
72．Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to express my interest in the upcoming “Mental Health Week” event that you are organizing. I believe that this event is of great importance as it raises awareness about mental health issues and provides a platform for students to learn about ways to maintain their mental well-being.
I would like to suggest that we could organize workshops and seminars on topics such as stress management, mindfulness, and self-care. Additionally, we could invite mental health professionals to give talks and provide resources for students who may need further support. I also think it would be beneficial to have interactive activities such as yoga or meditation sessions to promote relaxation and stress relief.
I am looking forward to the event and I am more than willing to assist in any way I can. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
