Just over two years ago at the age of 54, mv life changed tracks. Up until that point I had my parents and a family. I knew who I was. Then my mother, Diane, after a huge stroke (中风), decided to get something off her chest. And it turned out that my late father Richard, who had died in 2014, wasn’t actually my father.
At first there was sadness, then confusion and anger. One question was running around my head — who am I Obviously I asked my mother tons of questions but she wouldn’t give me any details. Just a name, a time and a place: John Pritchard, 1966, Brighton. I asked if John knew about me. No, she never told him. Wow! Not only had I been robbed of a father, he’d also been robbed of a son.
I was chasing around like a madman, exploring all sorts of ancestry (世系) websites. Then a friend of mine suggested I get an unlocked DNA test and see what happens. So I did and a few weeks later, I got the results — a 100 percent parent DNA match. The next thing I did before I knew it was to sit in front of the computer, trying to send my dad an email.
But to be honest, all I did was sit there staring at the screen, typing and deleting. How do you write the most important email of your life I put it gently and slowly, revealing what I’d found out. Luckily, John considerately replied, which was a huge relief, and we agreed to meet up.
So there I am, a man in his fifties, with a recently broken history, on a train to London to meet my real father. We had a long hug but there were no tears it was as if all the emotion was too big to grasp. We said hello, had a beer and talked about ordinary stuff, like we’d known each other for years. We’d both been firemen, and we were into motorbikes. What struck me was how easy it was to talk to him. We quickly fell into a pattern of texting each other, then ringing a couple of times a week. And now we are planning to go on a holiday in France together.
Through no fault of our own we lost each other a long time ago and that’s where the story could have ended. But fate has given us a second chance. So my advice for you Don’t waste your time regretting the loss of the past — live in the present.

Old trees are in big trouble. The whole forests of giant sequoias (红杉) up to 3,000 years old have recently gone up in flames in California. Baobabs (猴面包树), the world’s longest-living flowering plants, are starting to become bent as a result of drought conditions in southern Africa. The cedars (雪松) of Mount Lebanon, ancient symbols of longevity, are now struggling to survive in the area’s warmer, drier conditions.
Globally speaking, this is a great reduction: fewer massive trees, fewer ancient trees, fewer old-growth forests, fewer ancient species, and fewer species overall.
It is estimated that Earth’s “tree cover”—three trillion plants—covers roughly 30 percent of all available land. However, this tree cover is increasingly composed of trees that have been planted for wood, to take in greenhouse gas or to preserve soils from wind. It’s young stuff. Old-growth communities are rare and getting rarer.
Ancient trees provide such services too, but they are, in the first place, gift givers. Of all their gifts, the greatest is ethical (道德上的). They inspire long-term thinking and encourage us to be wise. If we could only recognize the urgency with which they are calling upon us to care for them, then we would not hesitate to start slowing climate change down now, and paying it forward to our future generations. In order to ensure their survival, they will need to receive a planet rich in biodiversity from us.
Besides, old trees are necessary for sustaining the rich communities of species in forests. They drop seeds that are then eaten and used by animals on the ground. Up high, they host epiphytes (附生植物) and birds. As the ecologist Meg Lowman put it, there’s a lively “eighth continent” in the tall branches. The ecosystem under them might as well be the ninth. Research has shown that big old trees are of great importance, serving as hubs (枢纽) for hundreds of other trees. The destruction of old growth destroys not just standing trees but also the underground links among them.
However, some organizations have single-mindedly pursued tree planting to cushion their emissions. Obviously these efforts are not a fix-all solution. Protecting our planet’s existing old-growth forests should take priority over generating new tree cover.
8. The author lists the examples of old trees in Paragraph 1 to___________.
A. remind people of the dangers of climate change
B. highlight their historical and cultural significance
C. introduce famous species of trees around the world
D. warn people of the global challenges faced by old trees
9. According to the text, which of the following is NOT a benefit ancient trees can offer
A. The inspiration and encouragement they give to us.
B. Their ability to absorb carbon dioxide and protect the soil.
C. The valuable data and information they provide for scientific research.
D. The vital role they play in the survival and conservation of the ecosystem.
10. What does the underlined word “cushion” mean in the last paragraph
A. Take account of. B. Soften the effect of.
C. Put a price on. D. Keep away from.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Different types of trees serve different purposes.
B. Planting younger trees is of little environmental value.
C. Ancient trees are worthy of our attention and good care.
D. Old-growth communities are in short supply and growing ever more so.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了老树面临的危机，强调其生态价值，呼吁人们保护老树，以确保地球生物多样性和生态平衡。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Old trees are in big trouble. The whole forests of giant sequoias (红杉) up to 3,000 years old have recently gone up in flames in California. Baobabs (猴面包树), the world’s longest-living flowering plants, are starting to become bent as a result of drought conditions in southern Africa. The cedars (雪松) of Mount Lebanon, ancient symbols of longevity, are now struggling to survive in the area’s warmer, drier conditions. (老树有大麻烦了。在加利福尼亚，有三千年树龄的巨型红杉森林最近被大火吞噬。猴面包树是世界上寿命最长的开花植物，由于非洲南部的干旱，猴面包树开始弯曲。黎巴嫩山上的雪松，古老的长寿的象征，现在正努力在该地区更温暖、更干燥的环境中生存。)”可知，作者在第一段中列举了老树的例子，以警告人们老树面临的全球性挑战。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“It is estimated that Earth’s “tree cover”—three trillion plants—covers roughly 30 percent of all available land. However, this tree cover is increasingly composed of trees that have been planted for wood, to take in greenhouse gas or to preserve soils from wind. It’s young stuff. Old-growth communities are rare and getting rarer. (据估计，地球上的“树木覆盖”——3万亿棵植物——大约覆盖了所有可用土地的30%。然而，越来越多的树木被用来种植木材、吸收温室气体或保护土壤免受风吹。这些都是年轻的树木。古老的群落很少见，而且越来越稀少。)”可知，古老的树木能够吸收二氧化碳并保护土壤。由文章第四段中“Ancient trees provide such services too, but they are, in the first place, gift givers. Of all their gifts, the greatest is ethical (道德上的). They inspire long-term thinking and encourage us to be wise. (古树也提供这样的服务，但它们首先是送礼者。在他们所有的天赋中，最伟大的是道德。它们激发我们的长远思考，鼓励我们变得明智。)”可知，他们给我们的鼓舞和鼓励。由文章第五段“Besides, old trees are necessary for sustaining the rich communities of species in forests. They drop seeds that are then eaten and used by animals on the ground. Up high, they host epiphytes (附生植物) and birds. As the ecologist Meg Lowman put it, there’s a lively “eighth continent” in the tall branches. The ecosystem under them might as well be the ninth. Research has shown that big old trees are of great importance, serving as hubs (枢纽) for hundreds of other trees. The destruction of old growth destroys not just standing trees but also the underground links among them. (此外，老树对于维持森林中丰富的物种群落是必要的。它们撒下种子，然后被地上的动物吃掉和利用。在高处，它们是附生植物和鸟类的宿主。正如生态学家梅格·洛曼(Meg Lowman)所说，在高大的树枝上有一个活泼的“第八大洲”。它们下面的生态系统可能是第九个。研究表明，高大的古树非常重要，它们是其他数百棵树的枢纽。对老树的破坏不仅破坏了直立的树木，还破坏了它们之间的地下联系。)”可知，它们在生态系统的生存和保护中发挥着至关重要的作用。只有选项C未被提及。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“However, some organizations have single-mindedly pursued tree planting to... (然而，一些组织一心一意地通过植树来……)”可知，一些组织一心一意地通过植树来减少排放，所以cushion的含义为“减少，减弱”。A. Take account of考虑；B. Soften the effect of减弱……的效果；C. Put a price on定价；D. Keep away from远离。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Old trees are in big trouble (老树有大麻烦了。)”、第四段中“Ancient trees provide such services too, but they are, in the first place, gift givers. (古树也提供这样的服务，但它们首先是送礼者。)”、第五段中“Besides, old trees are necessary for sustaining the rich communities of species in forests. (此外，老树对于维持森林中丰富的物种群落是必要的。)”可知，全文围绕古老树木所面临的威胁、它们对生态及人类精神层面的重要性展开，强调了保护古老树木的紧迫性和必要性，因此主要观点是古老的树木值得我们关注和妥善照顾。故选C。
D
A colleague of mine recently told me about a painful exposed nerve in his tooth. Rather than requesting a numbing option from his dentist, he used a "focus in" meditation (冥想) technique to direct all his attention to his mouth with as much calming equanimity (平和) as he could gather. Doing so transformed the pain for a few minutes. Each time the dentist touched the tooth, my colleague felt waves of joy, and this feeling lasted until the dentist interrupted by asking, "Why are you smiling "
A fair question is why anyone would want to be fully aware of intensely negative or painful experiences. But what might sound like a punishing choice—to embrace suffering or pain—may in some instances be helpful. A stream of scientific articles suggests that there are benefits in turning toward discomfort or upsetting emotions with acceptance. It's important to first define the idea of turning toward discomfort. I'm not advocating for people to put themselves in dangerous or painful positions. But when we push ourselves into challenging situations, much like trainers who push athletes just past their comfort zone to make gains, learning often happens. "Equanimity" refers to a mental attitude of being at peace with the push and pull of experience.
To evaluate the effectiveness of such interventions (干预), we recruited 153 stressed adults in Pittsburgh and offered them a mindfulness-meditation training program with or without training in equanimity. For example, the mindfulness-only group built skills to recognize ongoing experiences, while the equanimity group practiced acceptance of those experiences in addition to the basic recognition. Our equanimity training group had much better outcomes on several measures. After just 14 days of training, the participants who learned equanimity skills had significantly lower biological stress responses when asked to deliver a difficult speech and solve math problems in front of experts in white lab coats. The equanimity skills group also had lower blood pressure and stress levels.
12. What helped the colleague in Paragraph 1 get through the tooth treatment
A. The numbing option. B. The calming equanimity.
C. The gentle touch from other patients. D. The occasional interruption by the dentist.
13. What does the concept of "turning toward discomfort" in Paragraph 2 suggest
A. It requires ignoring negative emotions.
B. It includes avoiding challenging situations.
C. It involves actively seeking out dangerous positions.
D. It means embracing suffering or pain with acceptance.
14. What can we learn from the equanimity training group
A. They experienced higher levels of stress.
B. They achieved better results in several ways.
C. They showed no significant changes in stress levels.
D. They experienced greater difficulty delivering speeches.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Facing Challenges Enhances Fulfillment
B. Avoiding Suffering Is the Key to Happiness
C. Equanimity Training Takes Lots of Practice
D. Accepting Discomfort Could Help You Get Stronger
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“A fair question is why anyone would want to be fully aware of intensely negative or painful experiences. But what might sound like a punishing choice—to embrace suffering or pain—may in some instances be helpful. A stream of scientific articles suggests that there are benefits in turning toward discomfort or upsetting emotions with acceptance.”（一个公平的问题是，为什么有人想要充分意识到强烈的消极或痛苦的经历。但是，在某些情况下，接受苦难或痛苦听起来像是一种惩罚的选择，可能是有帮助的。一系列科学文章表明，用接纳的态度来对待不舒服或不安的情绪是有好处的。）和最后一段中“After just 14 days of training, the participants who learned equanimity skills had significantly lower biological stress responses when asked to deliver a difficult speech and solve math problems in front of experts in white lab coats. The equanimity skills group also had lower blood pressure and stress levels.”（经过14天的训练，当被要求在穿着白大褂的专家面前发表困难的演讲和解决数学问题时，学静技巧的参与者的生物应激反应明显降低。平静技能组的血压和压力水平也较低。）可知，文章主要讲的是接受苦难或痛苦听起来像是一种惩罚的选择，但可能是有帮助的。一系列科学文章表明，用接纳的态度来对待不舒服或不安的情绪是有好处的。故文章最适合的标题是“接受不适可以帮助你变得更强大”。故选D项。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Steven Price is the class clown and has an unyielding (执着的) passion for coins. He tells silly jokes and asks dumb riddles while Ms. Redfield is trying to teach. “Ms. Redfield,” said Steven. “What have a head and a tail, but no body ”
“I don’t know,” said Ms. Redfield. “Coins!” Steven laughed and laughed.
When his attention is diverted (转移) from coins, he finds amusement in playing tricks. I don’t mind when Steven plays tricks on Ms. Redfield or on some other kids. I just hate it when he plays tricks on me. I try to avoid or ignore him, but he gets me every time!
During recess (课间休息) on Monday, Steven was holding a small box in his hand. “Come and see what I’ve got,” he said to me. Before I could reject it, Steven lifted the lid. As the lid of the creaks opened, a horrifying clown figure sprang forth with a sudden burst of energy. Its painted bloody grin stretched unnaturally wide, revealing rows of sharp, jagged (锯齿状的) teeth. I was startled! My heart raced as the clown’s high-pitched cackle (咯咯的笑) echoed through the classroom. “You nearly gave me a heart attack!” I said. Steven just made a face and disappeared.
On Tuesday, we were studying measurement. Steven asked me to help him measure part of the hallway for his project. I told him I was busy working on my own math problem. “This will just take a minute!” he said. He had a piece of string 30 feet long. He wanted to see if it would reach to the cafeteria. I held one end of the string, and Steven went down the hall and around the corner. Pretty soon I felt the string get tight. I thought he was measuring. Keeping holding the string, I thought he would come right back.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Ms. Redfield came around the corner, looking strangely at me.

On Wednesday, I decided to fight back and play a trick on Steven.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Ms. Redfield came around the corner, looking strangely at me. “What are you doing ” she asked, her voice laced with a hint of laughter. I opened my mouth to explain, but my words caught in my throat as I watched Steven saunter across the hall towards the library. A wave of humiliation washed over me as I realized that I had fallen for his latest trick. “The other end of this string is tied to a doorknob. How long have you been holding it ” Ms. Redfield continued, her voice dripping with sarcasm. My face burned with shame. I had been so eager to help Steven with his project that I had let my guard down. Now, I was the laughing stock of the class.
On Wednesday, I decided to fight back and play a trick on Steven. Thinking of his obsession with coins, I just came up with a plan. After lunch, we were learning about adjectives. Steven spotted a coin sitting on my notebook beside his chair. He bent over to pick it up, but it was stuck to the cover with super-stick glue. Steven tugged and picked, but not only wouldn’t that coin budge, his fingers got stuck on the cover, too. It was at at that moment that the whole class burst into thunderous laughter. Steven’s face blushed and his ears got red. Then I approached him and looked right at him, “We are now even!” Realizing this trick was his punishment, he flashed an apologetic smile at me.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Steven Price是个爱恶作剧又对钱币有着无比热情的班级小丑。他在课堂上讲笑话、出脑筋急转弯，让老师Redfield头疼不已。虽然作者不介意他捉弄别人，但当作者成为目标时，作者就感到不快。周一课间，他用一个装有恐怖小丑玩偶的盒子吓了作者一跳。周二，他在测量项目中请作者帮忙。作者帮他拿着30英尺长的绳子的一端，他转过走廊角落去测量到餐厅的距离，结果却迟迟未归。

Just over two years ago, at the age of 54, mv life changed tracks. Up until that point I had my parents and a family. I knew who I was. Then my mother, Diane, after a huge stroke (中风), decided to get something off her chest. And it turned out that my late father Richard, who had died in 2014, wasn’t actually my father.
At first there was sadness, then confusion and anger. One question was running around my head — who am I Obviously I asked my mother tons of questions but she wouldn’t give me any details. Just a name, a time and a place: John Pritchard, 1966, Brighton. I asked if John knew about me. No, she never told him. Wow! Not only had I been robbed of a father, he’d also been robbed of a son.
I was chasing around like a madman exploring all sorts of ancestry (世系) websites. Then a friend of mine suggested I get an unlocked DNA test and see what happens. So I did and a few weeks later, I got the results — a 100 percent parent DNA match. The next thing I did before I knew it was to sit in front of the computer, trying to send my dad an email.
But to be honest, all I did was sit there staring at the screen, typing and deleting. How do you write the most important email of your life I put it gently and slowly, revealing what I’d found out. Luckily, John considerately replied, which was a huge relief, and we agreed to meet up.
So there I am, a man in his fifties, with a recently broken history, on a train to London to meet my real father. We had a long hug but there were no tears it was as if all the emotion was too big to grasp. We said hello, had a beer and talked about ordinary stuff, like we’d known each other for years. We’d both been firemen, and we were into motorbikes. What struck me was how easy it was to talk to him. We quickly fell into a pattern of texting each other, then ringing a couple of times a week. And now we are planning to go on a holiday in France together.
Through no fault of our own we lost each other a long time ago and that’s where the story could have ended. But fate has given us a second chance. So my advice for you Don’t waste your time regretting the loss of the past — live in the present.

Old trees are in big trouble. The whole forests of giant sequoias (红杉) up to 3,000 years old have recently gone up in flames in California. Baobabs (猴面包树), the world’s longest-living flowering plants, are starting to become bent as a result of drought conditions in southern Africa. The cedars (雪松) of Mount Lebanon, ancient symbols of longevity, are now struggling to survive in the area’s warmer, drier conditions.
Globally speaking, this is a great reduction: fewer massive trees, fewer ancient trees, fewer old-growth forests, fewer ancient species, and fewer species overall.
It is estimated that Earth’s “tree cover”—three trillion plants—covers roughly 30 percent of all available land. However, this tree cover is increasingly composed of trees that have been planted for wood, to take in greenhouse gas or to preserve soils from wind. It’s young stuff. Old-growth communities are rare and getting rarer.
Ancient trees provide such services too, but they are, in the first place, gift givers. Of all their gifts, the greatest is ethical (道德上的). They inspire long-term thinking and encourage us to be wise. If we could only recognize the urgency with which they are calling upon us to care for them, then we would not hesitate to start slowing climate change down now, and paying it forward to our future generations. In order to ensure their survival, they will need to receive a planet rich in biodiversity from us.
Besides, old trees are necessary for sustaining the rich communities of species in forests. They drop seeds that are then eaten and used by animals on the ground. Up high, they host epiphytes (附生植物) and birds. As the ecologist Meg Lowman put it, there’s a lively “eighth continent” in the tall branches. The ecosystem under them might as well be the ninth. Research has shown that big old trees are of great importance, serving as hubs (枢纽) for hundreds of other trees. The destruction of old growth destroys not just standing trees but also the underground links among them.
However, some organizations have single-mindedly pursued tree planting to cushion their emissions. Obviously these efforts are not a fix-all solution. Protecting our planet’s existing old-growth forests should take priority over generating new tree cover.
8. The author lists the examples of old trees in Paragraph 1 to___________.
A. remind people of the dangers of climate change
B. highlight their historical and cultural significance
C. introduce famous species of trees around the world
D. warn people of the global challenges faced by old trees
9. According to the text, which of the following is NOT a benefit ancient trees can offer
A. The inspiration and encouragement they give to us.
B. Their ability to absorb carbon dioxide and protect the soil.
C. The valuable data and information they provide for scientific research.
D. The vital role they play in the survival and conservation of the ecosystem.
10. What does the underlined word “cushion” mean in the last paragraph
A. Take account of. B. Soften the effect of.
C. Put a price on. D. Keep away from.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Different types of trees serve different purposes.
B. Planting younger trees is of little environmental value.
C. Ancient trees are worthy of our attention and good care.
D. Old-growth communities are in short supply and growing ever more so.
D
A colleague of mine recently told me about a painful exposed nerve in his tooth. Rather than requesting a numbing option from his dentist he used a "focus in" meditation (冥想) technique to direct all his attention to his mouth with as much calming equanimity (平和) as he could gather. Doing so transformed the pain for a few minutes. Each time the dentist touched the tooth, my colleague felt waves of joy, and this feeling lasted until the dentist interrupted by asking, "Why are you smiling "
A fair question is why anyone would want to be fully aware of intensely negative or painful experiences. But what might sound like a punishing choice—to embrace suffering or pain—may in some instances be helpful. A stream of scientific articles suggests that there are benefits in turning toward discomfort or upsetting emotions with acceptance. It's important to first define the idea of turning toward discomfort. I'm not advocating for people to put themselves in dangerous or painful positions. But when we push ourselves into challenging situations, much like trainers who push athletes just past their comfort zone to make gains, learning often happens. "Equanimity" refers to a mental attitude of being at peace with the push and pull of experience.
To evaluate the effectiveness of such interventions (干预), we recruited 153 stressed adults in Pittsburgh and offered them a mindfulness-meditation training program with or without training in equanimity. For example, the mindfulness-only group built skills to recognize ongoing experiences, while the equanimity group practiced acceptance of those experiences in addition to the basic recognition. Our equanimity training group had much better outcomes on several measures. After just 14 days of training, the participants who learned equanimity skills had significantly lower biological stress responses when asked to deliver a difficult speech and solve math problems in front of experts in white lab coats. The equanimity skills group also had lower blood pressure and stress levels.
12. What helped the colleague in Paragraph 1 get through the tooth treatment
A. The numbing option. B. The calming equanimity.
C. The gentle touch from other patients. D. The occasional interruption by the dentist.
13. What does the concept of "turning toward discomfort" in Paragraph 2 suggest
A It requires ignoring negative emotions.
B. It includes avoiding challenging situations.
C. It involves actively seeking out dangerous positions.
D. It means embracing suffering or pain with acceptance.
14. What can we learn from the equanimity training group
A. They experienced higher levels of stress.
B. They achieved better results in several ways.
C. They showed no significant changes in stress levels.
D. They experienced greater difficulty delivering speeches.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Facing Challenges Enhances Fulfillment
B. Avoiding Suffering Is the Key to Happiness
C. Equanimity Training Takes Lots of Practice
D. Accepting Discomfort Could Help You Get Stronger

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。
Steven Price is the class clown and has an unyielding (执着的) passion for coins. He tells silly jokes and asks dumb riddles while Ms. Redfield is trying to teach. “Ms. Redfield,” said Steven. “What have a head and a tail, but no body ”
“I don’t know,” said Ms. Redfield. “Coins!” Steven laughed and laughed.
When his attention is diverted (转移) from coins, he finds amusement in playing tricks. I don’t mind when Steven plays tricks on Ms. Redfield or on some other kids. I just hate it when he plays tricks on me. I try to avoid or ignore him, but he gets me every time!
During recess (课间休息) on Monday, Steven was holding a small box in his hand. “Come and see what I’ve got,” he said to me. Before I could reject it, Steven lifted the lid. As the lid of the creaks opened, a horrifying clown figure sprang forth with a sudden burst of energy. Its painted bloody grin stretched unnaturally wide, revealing rows of sharp, jagged (锯齿状的) teeth. I was startled! My heart raced as the clown’s high-pitched cackle (咯咯的笑) echoed through the classroom. “You nearly gave me a heart attack!” I said. Steven just made a face and disappeared.
On Tuesday, we were studying measurement. Steven asked me to help him measure part of the hallway for his project. I told him I was busy working on my own math problem. “This will just take a minute!” he said. He had a piece of string 30 feet long. He wanted to see if it would reach to the cafeteria. I held one end of the string, and Steven went down the hall and around the corner. Pretty soon I felt the string get tight. I thought he was measuring. Keeping holding the string, I thought he would come right back.
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。
Ms. Redfield came around the corner, looking strangely at me.
