Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Impressive scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can't always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock. Zanzibar
On an enormous stone off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. Fresh lobster, prawns, octopus salad and calamari are just a few of the appetizing dining options. At low tide, customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they're greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the "floating restaurant," is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Stunning waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, are different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of these falls. Guests dine on authentic Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand's Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining fortable tables are arranged inside the cave. International food with a Thai influence is featured.
For your next travel-and-dining adventure, why not make a reservation at one of these unique restaurants

When Emma woke up, she knew it was going to be one of those days. She felt unwell—a cold had taken hold of her. Still, she needed to brave the storm of responsibilities at work. Emma dragged herself out of bed and got ready for work. Then she put on her raincoat and went out into the pouring rain. As she walked, she fought against the bad weather. Emma's umbrella was almost useless as it was raining cats and dogs. Then like a bolt from the blue, the wind blew it inside out. She was immediately wet from head to toe. She said to herself in a quiet voice. "What a day to forget my rain boots!"
At the office, the day was as stormy as the weather. She had a mountain of tasks. Handling endless emails and phone calls should have been a light wind. But before long, she was desperate to take a break so she could get a second wind.
Then, at exactly the moment, her coworker Alex came to her rescue. Alex was not a fair-weather friend but was always ready to lend a hand. With a warm smile, he offered to help Emma.

On her way home, Emma reflected on the day, which had ended up being surprisingly pleasant. She realized that every cloud did indeed have a silver lining. Today, that silver lining had been her wonderful colleague, Alex.
When Emma arrived home, she decided to send Alex a heartfelt message of appreciation. She wrote, "Thanks for being my ray of sunshine in this rainy day!" It was a simple message, but it carried a lot of meaning.

（2024·通州模拟）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。
Memories are funny, aren't they You can be going along, minding your business, and then, all of a sudden, a memory pops into your head. Sometimes memories are triggered （触发） by a song that reminds you of the setting where you first heard it. Or it may be a smell that makes you think of a delicious meal with your friends or family. Perhaps hearing kids arguing makes you remember an unhappy situation with childhood friends. These spontaneous（自发的） memories can he "sweet," or they might be "sour." Did you ever wonder what's going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biologica Studies in California have made a discovery that could help to uncover this secret. The explanation is a bit technical （for those of us who are not brain scientists）, but basically it all focuses on a single molecule（分子）called neurotensin（神经降压素）. Our surrounding environment is constantly presenting our brain with stimuli（刺激）. The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli. Our brain subsequently associates similar stimuli with the pleasant or painful memory that we experienced.
The study by the Salk Institute was published in the journal Nature. The focus of their experiments was the brain circuitry of laboratory mice. After a sound was played, the mice received either a pleasant swallow of sugary water or, an unpleasant electrical shock or puff of air. The researchers discovered that neurotensin was the signal that associated the sound with reward or with punishment When the gene（基因） that regulates neurotensin was removed from the mice's brains, they had more difficulty connecting the sound with the sugary water. However, the negative responses were enhanced.
Understanding how neurons in the brain respond to neurotensin could have influences on one's mental health. Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin （connected with positive rewards）. On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative. responses to dominate. Thus, regulating neurotensin could. help to maintain mental stability. One other thing: The research study showed that the brain may tend to be a pessimist, focusing on fearful memories that cause negative emotional responses.
Perhaps insights into neurotensin will help us have fewer sour memories and more sweet ones.
28．What is the function of neurotensin
A．To provide our brain with stimuli.
B．To indicate the category of an experience.
C．To focus on the surrounding environment.
D．To associate the stimuli with our memory.
29．What can we learn from the passage
A．Addictions and anxiety may be related to different levels of neurotensin.
B．The mice were given both sugary water and an electrical shock after hearing a sound.
C．As the gene which controls neurotensin disappeared, the negative responses decreased.
D．The brain prefers connecting with fearful memories which produce unexpected emotions.
30．What is the passage mainly about
A．What happens in our brain to form our memory.
B．What the discovery of memory can do for mental health.
C．How brain connects our memory with different emotions.
D．How we regulate neurotensin to make us have good emotions.
（2024·通州模拟）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。
In this age of social media, everyone has followed the review trend. Nearly every business or website persuades customers to leave reviews as they can drive traffic to the site or business. The online business directory Yelp, which gets 178 million monthly visitors, invites anyone with a cellphone to leave a review of a business or restaurant. But by no means are negative reviews always honest. Some people threaten to give a bad review to extort（敲诈） discounted or free food from a restaurant. Some then follow through when their demands are not met.
But there are two sides to every story. One Denver chef decided to respond to bad reviews at his restaurant. As it turned out, some customers who left bad review s deserved bad reviews themselves. One customer's terrible review claimed that the food at the restaurant was so awful that he didn't eat a single bite. The chef looked through the monitor and found clear evidence that he had eaten every bite! In response, the chef called out the dissatisfied customer in his own negative review. Since the chef started responding to all his negative reviews, business at his restaurant has nearly doubled.
Telling people what you think of them as the result of a bad review can backfire on you, especially when a bad review is justified. Reviews are important because 94 percent of diners read online review s before they decide where to eat.
But bad review s appear for many reasons. The reviewer may be having a bad day, or the chef may be sick and the substitute（代替者） couldn't fill his shoes, so the cuisine suffered. Or perhaps the service wasn't as good as usual. The worst-case scene is that the reviewer wants to punish the restaurant on purpose for some slight, real or imagined. So one or two bad reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. Many negative reviews, however, indicate a problem.
So what is a restauranteur to do First give an honest assessment of any negative reviews. Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points. Are there areas for improvement If the answer is yes, make adjustments. Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive. The goal should be to improve the situation, not just blow off steam.
31．The author mentions Yelp in Paragraph 1 to ____.
A．introduce the topic B．predict the ending
C．evaluate an argument D．support a statement
32．Regarding negative reviews to restaurants, the author is ____.
A．positive B．objective C．negative D．doubtful
33．What does the underlined word "valid" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A．Philosophical. B．Identical. C．Reasonable. D．Legal.
34．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Who to Be Responsible for Bad Reviews
B．When to Respond to Bad Reviews
C．How to Criticise Bad Reviews
D．What to Do with Bad Reviews
四、第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共 10分）
（2024·通州模拟）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Before you head out to a fun event where there will be many people, you should be aware of the dangers of a crowd crush （拥挤的人群）, whose possibility adds up during the festivals or on some celebrating occasions.
Though the risk of crowd crush is rare, it can be deadly when it happens. Crowd crush occurs when many people are packed together and begin to fall over one another. In the past, such instances have caused horrible injury and even death. 35． .
Before attending a crowded event, look up a map of the venue. 36． Once you arrive, choosing the right spot can be crucial. Avoid the middle or front; instead, pick the back or edges of a crowd. It s also important to trust your feelings. Stay aware to see if you feel packed in at any point. The more crowded the event becomes, the sooner you may need to move to a safe place.
37． . The most important thing you can do is stay on your feet. To do this, spread your feet apart and bend your knees a little. Also make sure to move with the flow of the crowd. Trying to move against a crowd of people will only end in disaster.
Helping others is another great way to keep everyone safe. Once one person falls down, more people tend to fall over them. 38． .
A common cause of death in a crowd crush isn't being crushed but rather losing air It's best to hold out your arms in front of your chest. 39． It also protects your chest and lungs from being crushed on the ground should you fall.
There is usually fun where the crowds are, so enjoy yourself. But meanwhile, it is also important to remember to stay alert and take care of your family members when you sense the smell of danger.
A.If you do end up in a crush, here's how you can stay safe.
B.This allows space between you and the person in front of you.
C.So if your neighbor in the crowd falls to the ground, help them up.
D.Seeking for a safer place takes some time and is sometimes challenging.
E.To avoid such an outcome, it's best to escape the crush before it happens.
F.The shortage of air means less oxygen, which will lead to serious consequences.
G.This will give you an idea of the surroundings—pay special attention to any exits.
五、第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
（2024·通州模拟）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
From birth, every person needs other human beings. Babies need to be cared for to survive. Their first connections usually come from parents and other family members. But as children grow up, they spend more time with others. And they may or may not feel connected to the people they see every day. Some people feel different from or rejected by their neighbors, people they work with or even their families. People who don't feel like they belong often feel lonely, even when others are around.
People find different ways to meet their natural desire to belong to a group. Some rely on their families while others find communities based on other interests. These can include shared goals, life experiences or popular culture.
You need others for many munity members can offer advice or practical help when you go through difficult times. You can also grow as a person from helping others
So what can you do if you lack a sense of belonging The first step will usually be to make a conscious effort to reach out to others. You could join groups based on interests you share. Or you could contact an individual with whom you have something in common and decide when to meet up. This may be uncomfortable at first, but as with most things, it becomes easier with practice. Focusing on others more than on yourself may help. Ask questions that show you care about others' lives. This will help them feel valued. If you are shy, it will spare you from having to talk about yourself too much.
Finding community requires a willingness to accept others. But it is also important to remain true to yourself. If a person always hides his or her true thoughts and feelings to fit in, how could he or she feel a sense of belonging And it will be much easier if you ask yourself what matters most to you.
Finding a place where you belong may not be easy. But it will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life. So if you are the one looking for it, don't lose heart easily since it truly deserves the effort.
40．Where are babies' first connections usually from
41．Why do you need others
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Focusing on others more than on yourself may help when you are finding community, so you should ignore your true feelings or thoughts during this process.
43．Give an example to illustrate what benefit（s） having a sense of belonging has brought you. （In about 40 words）

Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Impressive scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can't always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock. Zanzibar
On an enormous stone off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. Fresh lobster, prawns, octopus salad and calamari are just a few of the appetizing dining options. At low tide, customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they're greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the "floating restaurant," is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Stunning waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, are different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of these falls. Guests dine on authentic Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand's Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining fortable tables are arranged inside the cave. International food with a Thai influence is featured.

Memories are funny, aren't they You can be going along, minding your business, and then, all of a sudden, a memory pops into your head. Sometimes memories are triggered （触发） by a song that reminds you of the setting where you first heard it. Or it may be a smell that makes you think of a delicious meal with your friends or family. Perhaps hearing kids arguing makes you remember an unhappy situation with childhood friends. These spontaneous（自发的） memories can he "sweet," or they might be "sour." Did you ever wonder what's going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biologica Studies in California have made a discovery that could help to uncover this secret. The explanation is a bit technical （for those of us who are not brain scientists）, but basically it all focuses on a single molecule（分子）called neurotensin（神经降压素）. Our surrounding environment is constantly presenting our brain with stimuli（刺激）. The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli. Our brain subsequently associates similar stimuli with the pleasant or painful memory that we experienced.
The study by the Salk Institute was published in the journal Nature. The focus of their experiments was the brain circuitry of laboratory mice. After a sound was played, the mice received either a pleasant swallow of sugary water or, an unpleasant electrical shock or puff of air. The researchers discovered that neurotensin was the signal that associated the sound with reward or with punishment When the gene（基因） that regulates neurotensin was removed from the mice's brains, they had more difficulty connecting the sound with the sugary water. However, the negative responses were enhanced.
Understanding how neurons in the brain respond to neurotensin could have influences on one's mental health. Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin （connected with positive rewards）. On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative. responses to dominate. Thus, regulating neurotensin could. help to maintain mental stability. One other thing: The research study showed that the brain may tend to be a pessimist, focusing on fearful memories that cause negative emotional responses.
Perhaps insights into neurotensin will help us have fewer sour memories and more sweet ones.
28．What is the function of neurotensin
A．To provide our brain with stimuli.
B．To indicate the category of an experience.
C．To focus on the surrounding environment.
D．To associate the stimuli with our memory.
29．What can we learn from the passage
A．Addictions and anxiety may be related to different levels of neurotensin.
B．The mice were given both sugary water and an electrical shock after hearing a sound.
C．As the gene which controls neurotensin disappeared, the negative responses decreased.
D．The brain prefers connecting with fearful memories which produce unexpected emotions.
30．What is the passage mainly about
A．What happens in our brain to form our memory.
B．What the discovery of memory can do for mental health.
C．How brain connects our memory with different emotions.
D．How we regulate neurotensin to make us have good emotions.

（2024·通州模拟）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。
In this age of social media, everyone has followed the review trend. Nearly every business or website persuades customers to leave reviews as they can drive traffic to the site or business. The online business directory Yelp, which gets 178 million monthly visitors, invites anyone with a cellphone to leave a review of a business or restaurant. But by no means are negative reviews always honest. Some people threaten to give a bad review to extort（敲诈） discounted or free food from a restaurant. Some then follow through when their demands are not met.
But there are two sides to every story. One Denver chef decided to respond to bad reviews at his restaurant. As it turned out, some customers who left bad review s deserved bad reviews themselves. One customer's terrible review claimed that the food at the restaurant was so awful that he didn't eat a single bite. The chef looked through the monitor and found clear evidence that he had eaten every bite! In response, the chef called out the dissatisfied customer in his own negative review. Since the chef started responding to all his negative reviews, business at his restaurant has nearly doubled.
Telling people what you think of them as the result of a bad review can backfire on you, especially when a bad review is justified. Reviews are important because 94 percent of diners read online review s before they decide where to eat.
But bad review s appear for many reasons. The reviewer may be having a bad day, or the chef may be sick and the substitute（代替者） couldn't fill his shoes, so the cuisine suffered. Or perhaps the service wasn't as good as usual. The worst-case scene is that the reviewer wants to punish the restaurant on purpose for some slight, real or imagined. So one or two bad reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. Many negative reviews, however, indicate a problem.
So what is a restauranteur to do First give an honest assessment of any negative reviews. Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points. Are there areas for improvement If the answer is yes, make adjustments. Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive. The goal should be to improve the situation, not just blow off steam.
31．The author mentions Yelp in Paragraph 1 to ____.
A．introduce the topic B．predict the ending
C．evaluate an argument D．support a statement
32．Regarding negative reviews to restaurants, the author is ____.
A．positive B．objective C．negative D．doubtful
33．What does the underlined word "valid" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A．Philosophical. B．Identical. C．Reasonable. D．Legal.
34．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Who to Be Responsible for Bad Reviews
B．When to Respond to Bad Reviews
C．How to Criticise Bad Reviews
D．What to Do with Bad Reviews
【答案】31．D
32．B
33．C
34．D
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；说明文；社会文化类；标题选择

31．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"In this age of social media，everyone has followed the review trend.Nearly every business or website persuades customers to leave reviews as they can drive traffic to the site or business.The online business directory Yelp，which gets 178 million monthly visitors，invites anyone with a cellphone to leave a review of a business or restaurant."在这个社交媒体时代，每个人都追随了评论潮流。几乎每个企业或网站都劝说客户留下评论，因为它们可以增加网站或企业的流量。在线商业目录Yelp每月有1.78亿访客，它邀请任何有手机的人留下对某家企业或餐馆的评论。可知作者在第一段提到Yelp来支持一个陈述（在这个社交媒体时代，每个人都追随了评论潮流）。故选D。
32．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"As it turned out，some customers who left bad reviews deserved bad reviews themselves.One customer's terrible review claimed that the food at the restaurant was so awful that he didn't eat a single bite.The chef looked through the monitor and found clear evidence that he had eaten every bite!In response，the chef called out the dissatisfied customer in his own negative review"事实证明，一些留下差评的顾客自己也活该被差评。一位顾客的糟糕评论称，餐馆的食物太糟糕了，他一口都没吃。厨师通过监视器发现了清晰的证据，证明他吃了每一口食物！作为回应，厨师在自己的负面评论中指出了不满意的顾客。可知关于对餐馆的负面评论，作者是客观的。故选B。
33．考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的"Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points.Are there areas for improvement？If the answer is yes，make adjustments Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive"退一步，问问作者是否提出了任何____观点。有需要改进的地方吗？如果答案是肯定的，做出调整评审者本身需要诚实和有建设性。可知valid的意思是"合理的"。故选C。
34．考查标题归纳。根据最后一段"So what is a restaurateur to do？First give an honest assessment of an；negative reviews.Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points.Are there areas for improvement？If the answer is yes，make adjustments Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive.The goal should be to improve the situation，not just blow off steam."那么餐馆老板应该怎么做呢？首先诚实地评价一个人；负面评论。后退一步，问作者是否提出了任何有效的观点。有需要改进的地方吗？如果答案是肯定的，请做出调整评论者本身需要诚实和建设性。目标应该是改善情况，而不仅仅是发泄情绪。可知本文主要讲述了社交媒体时代，评价文化的盛行以及它对商家和消费者双方的影响。"差评怎么办？"适合作本文标题。故选D。

五、第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
（2024·通州模拟）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
From birth, every person needs other human beings. Babies need to be cared for to survive. Their first connections usually come from parents and other family members. But as children grow up, they spend more time with others. And they may or may not feel connected to the people they see every day. Some people feel different from or rejected by their neighbors, people they work with or even their families. People who don't feel like they belong often feel lonely, even when others are around.
People find different ways to meet their natural desire to belong to a group. Some rely on their families while others find communities based on other interests. These can include shared goals, life experiences or popular culture.
You need others for many munity members can offer advice or practical help when you go through difficult times. You can also grow as a person from helping others
So what can you do if you lack a sense of belonging The first step will usually be to make a conscious effort to reach out to others. You could join groups based on interests you share. Or you could contact an individual with whom you have something in common and decide when to meet up. This may be uncomfortable at first, but as with most things, it becomes easier with practice. Focusing on others more than on yourself may help. Ask questions that show you care about others' lives. This will help them feel valued. If you are shy, it will spare you from having to talk about yourself too much.
Finding community requires a willingness to accept others. But it is also important to remain true to yourself. If a person always hides his or her true thoughts and feelings to fit in, how could he or she feel a sense of belonging And it will be much easier if you ask yourself what matters most to you.
Finding a place where you belong may not be easy. But it will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life. So if you are the one looking for it, don't lose heart easily since it truly deserves the effort.
40．Where are babies' first connections usually from
41．Why do you need others
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Focusing on others more than on yourself may help when you are finding community, so you should ignore your true feelings or thoughts during this process.
43．Give an example to illustrate what benefit（s） having a sense of belonging has brought you. （In about 40 words）
【答案】40．Their first connections usually come from parents and other family members.
41．Because community members can offer advice or practical help when I go through difficult times. And I can also grow as a person from helping others.
42．Focusing on others more than on yourself may help when you are finding community, so you should ignore your true feelings or thoughts during this process.
It is also important to remain true to yourself. If you always hide your true thoughts and feelings to fit in, you cannot feel a sense of belonging.
43．Having a sense of belonging makes me feel that life is meaningful, more motivated to pursue my goals,and lead a happier and more fulfilling life.（答案不唯一）

If you always hide your true thoughts and feelings to fit in, you cannot feel a sense of belonging.
43．考查开放性试题。拥有归属感让我觉得生活很有意义，更有动力追求自己的目标，并且过上更快乐，更充实的生活。故答案为：Having a sense of belonging makes me feel that life is meaningful ,more motivated to pursue my goals,and lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
