Standing on the South Pole at the start of the year with the wind blowing across the Antarctic, travel blogger Johnny Ward felt a wave of relief.
Just a week before, in early January 2024, he’d struggled through snow and ice to climb to the top of the Vinson Massif, Antarctica’s highest peak. Years before, in 2017, he’d become the first Irish person to visit every country in the world.
Now, after decades of traveling and mountaineering, Ward could claim another world first—the Ultimate Explorer’s Grand Slam (大满贯), which involves reaching the highest peak on every continent, and visiting both the North and South Poles in addition to visiting every country.
“I feel relieved,” Ward recalled as he slowly made his way back to his home in Thailand after climbing to the top of the Vinson Massif and then setting foot on the South Pole. “But also I’m aware I’m a normal guy, not a world-class athlete, so I guess it was more about resilience and determination more than any ability. Although I met with lots of barriers, I overcame them one by one.”
Ward had previously devoted a decade of his life, between 2007 and 2017, to visiting every country in the world. The incredible journey saw him hitchhike (搭便车) a ride on a container ship from Oman to Socotra in Yemen, travel overland from Cairo to Cape Town and travel from South Korea to Australia by bus and boat.
“It had been a huge life goal, over a decade of my life, and then when I finished that I was aimless and had no idea what to do next,” he said. “I started eating badly, drinking too much, putting on weight and I ignored my business.”
Ward decided that the best way to overcome this was to challenge himself again. He began running ultramarathons (超级马拉松) and climbing mountains, and soon found that with extreme purpose and direction, he was back to loving life again.
So where will Ward go next Space The bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point of the ocean “All good things come after suffering, and I want to share that with people. So that’s the next plan,” he said.
24．What did Johnny Ward achieve in early January 2024
A．He climbed to the highest peak in Antarctica.
B．He set a new record for traveling in Antarctica.
C．He became the first person to visit the South Pole.
D．He became the first Irish person to visit every country.
25．What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The ability to bounce back from difficulties. B．The quality of being strong and honest.
C．The skill of achieving goals quickly. D．The power to control one’ s emotions.
26．How did Johnny Ward feel after achieving his life goal in 2017
A．Relaxed. B．Satisfied. C．Lost. D．Excited.
27．Which of the following can best describe Johnny Ward
A．Helpful and motivated. B．Athletic and generous.
C．Proud and self-centered. D．Determined and strong-willed.
C
Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted（分心）driving was "only increasing, unfortunately."
"Big change requires big ideas." he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
"We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone."
28. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair.
29. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
30. What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. To Drive or Not to Drive Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer-
D
Singapore uses about 430 million gallons of water every day- a number it ex-pects could double in the next four decades.
That kind of consumption is piling pressure on the Asian city state to addressgrowing concerns about global water shortage. So it s building new technology toprepare itself for a future where obtaining clean water will be even more difficult." Singapore truly has become a global water center," said Shane Snyder,
executive director of the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute atSingapore's Nanyang Technological University. But as it stands, it imports ap-proximately 40% of its water today. And with climate change, that water has become far less dependable.
Singapore, meanwhile, is home to more than five million people and is coveredin fountains, reservoirs (7K4) and other water features including the world'stallest indoor waterfall, a 130-foot Rain Vortex that pumps 10,000 gallons of wa-ter per minute. But it has no natural water sources of its own, instead relying heav-ily on recycled water and imports from its neighbors.
Snyder's research facility is one of several places developing solutions forSingapore's water dependency. The hope is to create projects that could be usedacross the city. One development is a small, black sponge ( ijift) called carbon fi-ber aerogel that the university says can clean waste water on a mass scale. Thesponge absorbs 190 times its weight in waste, contaminants and microplastics.Another company, WateRoam, is already taking innovation from Singapore tthe rest of the region. Founded in 2014, WateRoam says it has developed a light -weight, portable filtration device (iI ùtik #t) that they say has already providedclean drinking water for more than 75,000 people across Southeast Asia.
WateRoam CEO David Pong said one of the most innovative aspects of theproduct is its simplicity. We want people who are green hands to be able to pickup this product and know how to use it. " Pong said. The device is no bigger than abicycle pump, yet it can provide clean water to villages of 100 people for up to twoyears, according to the company.
32. On what aspect will Singaporeans focus to handle the water shortage
A. Recycling and reusing.
B. Building more reservoirs.
C. Reducing the consumption.
D. Importing more from its neighbors.
33. What is the root cause of water shortage in Singapore
A. Most of its water is polluted.
B. It has no natural water sources.
C. It is an overpopulated city state.
D. Water features occupied too many resources.
34. Which is a distinct feature of the sponge
A. Its portable size.
B. Its cheap materials.
C. Its power to purify water.
D. Its function of water absorption.
35. What's the best title for the text
A. Why Singapore has a water shortage recently
B. Where the water shortage in Singapore is going
C. Who are to blame for the water shortage in Singapore
D. How Singapore is using technology to solve its water shortage
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
___36___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___37___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___38___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___39___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___40___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

Have you ever heard of and seen Canadian geese Do you know that they ___41___ fresh grass and seeds
Canadian geese have a good ___42___ for their politeness. They always bow down to you whenever you walk by.

It’s ___47___ to witness the “impolite” side of Canadian geese. Hence, I couldn’t help ___48___ my morning walk, standing still to watch these “gentlemen” quarreling. Interestingly, after a short while, a truck roared past their feast, disturbing their ___49___ conversation. The two geese were equally ___50___ by the massive “monster”, thus giving up their conversation.
Would they start quarreling again I stood still, ___51___ the ridiculous question and waited. Beyond my expectation, right after the truck’s passing by, the two geese immediately lost their ___52___for quarreling as if they had forgotten all about what had happened. Even the two turned around and left the ___53___ in opposite directions as if nothing had happened. They left only me there, imagining what might have happened without the ___54___.
They got along harmoniously again. Sometimes it’s not that bad to be ___55___.

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。
Mrs. Peabody was a serious old woman the kids called psychic (通灵者) because she magically knew which students had accomplished the real assignment and which had not.
She once gave the class a writing assignment. “Write an essay about summer vacation. ”she said. “Be as creative as you can. ”
Well, that night Jim sat at his desk at home and stared unhappily at a blank sheet of paper. He didn’t want to write a stupid essay about his summer vacation. Boring. So he gave up on the assignment but wrote what he wanted to—not an essay at all but a science fiction. It was about a distant planet that didn’t have summer—it was spring all the time. And it didn’t have vacations either. The aliens on the planet worked 24 hours a day.
The next morning he handed in the story but that night he lay awake until three a. m. , thinking: Why did I do that I totally ignored the assignment. Maybe it’d take Mrs. Peabody a few days to grade the essays. I’d beg her for a chance to write another one, the sort she wanted.
But when he got to class the next morning it turned out that Mrs. Peabody had read and graded the essays. And when he saw the way she glanced at him with a strange look in her sten, psychic eyes, he wished he’d stayed home sick. I’m in trouble, Jim thought, blushing already, betrayed by his freckles (雀斑). Staring at the floor. Mrs. Peabody continued, “Almost everyone in class wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation . Almost everyone. ”This is bad, Jim thought. I’m getting an F, I know it. “But, ” the teacher said, “One student decided he didn’t feel like doing that. ” Jim glanced up long enough to see her eyes focused on him. This is worse than an F. . . I’m in note-to-the-parents territory now.
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。
Then Jim heard his name called.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________When Jim finished reading his story, a smile spread across Mrs. Peabody’s face.

This is my first time that I have invited you to attend our program —Talk and Talk. It is ten years since Talk and Talk was established.

As our distinguished foreign language teacher, your aid can help us a lot. If you are available on this Sunday, I together with the whole Talk and Talk staff am waiting for your coming. I’d appreciate it if you take my invitation into consideration.
Yours,

67. Then Jim heard his name called. Jim’s heart missed a beat. “Come here to the front and read your story,” said Mrs. Peabody. Desperately, Jim tried to read her intentions from her face, but got nothing. Feeling all the eyes on him, he walked to the front of the classroom with trembling steps. Then he gave Mrs. Peabody another glimpse and found her staring at him with no expression. Jim felt a drop of sweat dripping down his back, itching. Clearing up his throat, Jim began to read his story.
When Jim finished reading his story, a smile spread across Mrs. Peabody’s face. “Boys and girls,” Mrs. Peabody said clearly to the rest of the class, “Jim is the only one who got an A on the assignment because he was as creative as I had asked you to be.” After a few seconds’ pause, applause broke out. Face blushing, Jim couldn’t believe what he had just heard. All previous worries disappeared. It turned out that the teacher’s real intention was to make students value creativity. It was his reverence for the teacher as well as a serious attitude towards tasks that got Jim an A.
