In her 50s, Chen Xiufeng, from Lianyungang city in East China’s Jiangsu Province, along with her husband, Liang Decai, has been trying to make a living as street vendors (街头小贩) in Beijing for more than two decades, during which period they cooked at construction sites, sold fruit on the street and ran a barbecue restaurant.
Several years ago, the couple began to sell homemade goose legs. Their secret family recipe has won them a steady stream of customers over the years, mostly college students, as they usually operated near campuses such as Peking University and Renmin University of China.
Last winter, Chen rose to Internet fame after she moved her business to Tsinghua University. Regular customers from Peking University and Renmin University of China began half jokingly calling for Tsinghua University to give back their beloved “Auntie Goose Legs”. Soon “Auntie Goose Legs” became such a hit on social media that their homemade goose legs became hard to get. At one point, they sold out their entire stock of 200 goose legs within 20 minutes. Some people came to her with live streaming (视频直播), while others asked to sign a contract with her to make her a social media influencer.
On November 29, with help from her son, Chen set up a social media account and posted a video, explaining that she and her husband needed to take a break from their business, because there was too much pressure. Probably warmed by the encouraging comments from netizens, Chen posted another video the next day, expressing gratitude to the students and announcing their return to business.
With her time-tested persistence and wholehearted dedication to her small business, she wasn’t distracted by the sudden fame brought by social media. On the International Women’s Day, Chen was invited as a guest speaker to a women entrepreneurship forum hosted by Peking University. At the forum, she said she was just an ordinary person and only wanted to do business wholeheartedly without trouble or attention.
4. What helped “Auntie Goose Legs” keep her customers
A. The secret family recipe. B. The living streaming.
C. The location of business. D. The reasonable price.
5. Which of the following can be used to describe the couple
A. Diligent and grateful. B. Clever and strict.
C. Honest and lucky. D. Humorous and kind.
6. Why did the couple close their business temporarily after going viral
A. To relieve too much physical stress. B. To start a new business in another place.
C. To teach their son how to post a video. D. To escape too much attention from social media.
7. What do we know about Chen from the last paragraph
A. She has a natural talent for public speaking.
B She insisted on being an ordinary street vendor.
C. She considers pressure as opportunities to succeed.
D. She enjoys selling goose legs through live streaming.

A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth: the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones, the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be. Being with the elderly is not just about the heartwarming stories or the secret family recipes you get to share; it’s about something even more significant.
This revelation comes from a study by the University of California, San Francisco, which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life. The research involved 1,600 adults, averaging 71 years in age, and it discovered a distinct contrast in mortality rates (死亡率) between those who felt lonely and those who didn’t.
The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward: as we age, the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish; in fact, it becomes more crucial. Lone lines s can affect anyone, but its effects are particularly severe for the elderly, making companionship not just a nice-to-have but a necessity for thriving in later years.
Interestingly, while senior homes often get a bad rating, they emerge as unsung heroes. These communities offer a vital space for cultivating elderly friendships, proving to be a blessing for those whose social circles tend to shrink with age. It is like experiencing the friendship of college life all over again, but this time, it’s even more enriching because it’s about making genuine connections that enhance the quality of life.
In another study, Rosemary Bliezner, a professor of human development at Virginia Tech finds that aging brings a wealth of experience that enriches friendships. Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t, making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships. This perspective suggests that seniors could very well be the best friends you’ve never considered. So, the next time you’re looking for some one to share a meal with or just have a casual chat, think of your elderly relatives.
8. What do we know from the study
A. Growing old is challenging and highly risky.
B. The elderly are easily hurt by social isolation.
C. Meaningful relationships are crucial for the elderly.
D. Companionship doesn’t affect the lifespan of the elderly.
9 What does the underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Disappear. B. Decline. C. Enlarge. D. Increase.
10. What can be inferred about being friends with someone older
A. It helps pass down family traditions.
B. It makes the young more wealthy.
C. The benefits of it are not one-sided.
D. The disadvantage of it is time-consuming.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Ways of raising the life quality of the elderly.
B. Methods of making friends with the elderly.
C. Benefits of the elderly living in senior homes.
D. Impacts of companionship on the lives of the elderly.
D
New research shows that the health consequences of wildfire smoke exposure stretch well beyond the smoky days themselves, contributing to nearly 16,000 deaths each year across the U.S., according to a National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) analysis released in April. The analysis warns that number could grow to nearly 30,000 deaths a year by the middle of the century.
Wildfire smoke is rarely listed as a cause of death on people’s death certificates. But research has shown that tiny particles present in smoke worsen many different health problems. These particles penetrate (渗透) deep into people’s lungs and can cross into the bloodstream or even into the brain. Repeated exposures, or high-concentration exposures, can worsen other health problems, from heart and kidney disease to promoting the onset of dementia (痴呆) symptoms. In some cases, the stress from wildfire smoke is so great that some people die.
Because the harm from wildfire smoke can accumulate and isn’t always immediately obvious, the long-term risks from wildfire smoke exposure have gone underestimated.
The NBER analysis used a suite of different computer models to figure out the relationship between fire activity and how much smoke was produced. In years like 2020, some northern California counties were exposed to double their normal pollution load for the year. In conditions like those, the total number of deaths increased by almost 6%. Even small increases in smoke exposure averaged out over the year, push mortality up.
Even with aggressive climate action in coming decades, wildfire activity is forecast to grow—and with it, smoke exposure. By the middle of the century, models suggest people across the U.S. will likely experience two to three times as much smoke as they did before 2020. Smoke-related deaths could rise by at least 8,000 people every year. With less aggressive climate action, the number of deaths could be even higher.
12. What can be learned about wildfire smoke exposure
A. It has become the main cause of death. B. It produces immediate harmful effects.
C. It makes health problems more serious. D. It can be avoided by using dust masks.
13. What will happen to Americans according to the computer models
A. Experiencing less wildfire smoke exposure.
B. Facing more deaths caused by heavy smoking.
C. Having more deaths connected to wildfire smoke.
D. Reducing wildfire activities with aggressive actions.
14 Where does this passage probably come from
A. A scientific report. B. Analysis of climate change.
C. An academic paper. D. Research findings of wildfire.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Formation of Wildlife Smoke B. The Harm of Wildfire Smoke to Health
C. The Ways to Reduce Wildfires D. The Causes of Too Many Wildfires

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语段续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My daughter Gina was in Mrs. Melton’s fourth grade class. After only a month in school, she began to come home on a regular basis asking for pencils, crayons (蜡笔), paper, etc. At first I just dutifully provided whatever she needed, never questioning her.
This went on for weeks. I became concerned and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school things ” She would always respond with answers that satisfied me. One day, after supplying a brand new eraser to her only three days earlier, I became annoyed and angrily asked her once more. Knowing her excuses would no longer work, she bent her head and began to cry. I lifted her tiny chin and looked into those big brown eyes, filled now with tears. I waited impatiently for her to answer.
“Mum, there is a boy named John in my class. He doesn’t have any of the school things he needs to do his work. Other kids tease him because his papers are messy and he only has two crayons to color with. Secretly, I’ve been putting the new school things you bought me on his desk,” Gina explained with watery eyes.
My heart sank as I stood there in disbelief. She had taken on the role of an adult and tried to hide it like a child. I knelt down and hugged her to me, not wanting her to see my own tears. When I pulled myself together, I stood up and said, “Gina, I would never get mad at you for wanting to help someone, but why didn’t you just come and tell me ” I didn’t wait for her to answer.
The next day I visited Mrs. Melton and told her what Gina had said. I then learnt that John’s family had just moved here. John was the eldest of four boys and their parents were struggling to make ends meet. Getting school things for the boys was not their priority.
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With Christmas drawing near, I became increasingly concerned about John and his family.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, we set out for John’s home.

In her 50s, Chen Xiufeng, from Lianyungang city in East China’s Jiangsu Province, along with her husband, Liang Decai, has been trying to make a living as street vendors (街头小贩) in Beijing for more than two decades, during which period they cooked at construction sites, sold fruit on the street and ran a barbecue restaurant.
Several years ago, the couple began to sell homemade goose legs. Their secret family recipe has won them a steady stream of customers over the years, mostly college students, as they usually operated near campuses such as Peking University and Renmin University of China.

On November 29, with help from her son, Chen set up a social media account and posted a video, explaining that she and her husband needed to take a break from their business, because there was too much pressure. Probably warmed by the encouraging comments from netizens, Chen posted another video the next day, expressing gratitude to the students and announcing their return to business.

A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth: the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones, the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be. Being with the elderly is not just about the heartwarming stories or the secret family recipes you get to share; it’s about something even more significant.
This revelation comes from a study by the University of California, San Francisco, which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life. The research involved 1,600 adults, averaging 71 years in age, and it discovered a distinct contrast in mortality rates (死亡率) between those who felt lonely and those who didn’t.
The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward: as we age, the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish; in fact, it becomes more crucial. Lone lines s can affect anyone, but its effects are particularly severe for the elderly, making companionship not just a nice-to-have but a necessity for thriving in later years.
Interestingly, while senior homes often get a bad rating, they emerge as unsung heroes. These communities offer a vital space for cultivating elderly friendships, proving to be a blessing for those whose social circles tend to shrink with age. It is like experiencing the friendship of college life all over again, but this time, it’s even more enriching because it’s about making genuine connections that enhance the quality of life.
In another study, Rosemary Bliezner, a professor of human development at Virginia Tech finds that aging brings a wealth of experience that enriches friendships. Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t, making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships. This perspective suggests that seniors could very well be the best friends you’ve never considered. So, the next time you’re looking for some one to share a meal with or just have a casual chat, think of your elderly relatives.
8. What do we know from the study
A. Growing old is challenging and highly risky.
B. The elderly are easily hurt by social isolation.
C. Meaningful relationships are crucial for the elderly.
D. Companionship doesn’t affect the lifespan of the elderly.
9. What does the underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Disappear. B. Decline. C. Enlarge. D. Increase.
10. What can be inferred about being friends with someone older
A. It helps pass down family traditions.
B. It makes the young more wealthy.
C. The benefits of it are not one-sided.
D. The disadvantage of it is time-consuming.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Ways of raising the life quality of the elderly.
B. Methods of making friends with the elderly.
C. Benefits of the elderly living in senior homes.
D. Impacts of companionship on the lives of the elderly.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究表明，与祖母等长辈共度时光有助于延长他们充实生活。加州大学旧金山分校的研究指出，老年人需要有意义的社交关系，孤独对其生活质量和寿命有显著影响。养老院成为培养老年友谊的重要场所，而老年人的丰富经验和智慧使他们成为理想的伙伴。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This revelation comes from a study by the University of California, San Francisco, which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life.”（这一发现来自加州大学旧金山分校的一项研究，该研究强调了陪伴对老年人寿命和生活质量的深远影响。）以及第三段“The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward: as we age, the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish; in fact, it becomes more crucial.”（这项研究结果的本质很简单：随着年龄的增长，我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并不会减少；事实上，它变得更加重要。）可推知，我们从这项研究中了解到的是有意义的联系对老年人来说至关重要。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词所在句“as we age, the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish; in fact, it becomes more crucial.”（随着年龄的增长，我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并没有diminish；事实上，它变得更加重要。）中“in fact, it becomes more crucial.”对前文所提及的内容进行纠正，引出事实，与上文“diminish”之间有转折关系，即“我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并没有减弱，事实上，它变得更加重要了”。故diminish与decline同义，意为“减弱，降低”。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth: the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones, the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”（最近的一项研究揭示了一个令人振奋的事实：我们越珍惜与祖母和其他年长的亲人在一起的时光，他们的生活就会越长久、越充实。）和最后一段中“Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t, making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships.”（老年人知道什么重要，什么不重要，这使他们成为无价的伙伴，他们提供智慧，而没有那些经常破坏年轻人关系的小争吵。）可推知，和年纪大的人交朋友的好处是双向的，不仅对老年人有好处，年轻人能从中获益。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth: the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones, the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”（最近的一项研究揭示了一个令人振奋的事实：我们越珍惜与祖母和其他年长的亲人在一起的时光，他们的生活就会越长久、越充实。）可知，本文主要介绍了加州大学旧金山分校的一项研究结果，该研究强调了陪伴对老年人寿命和生活质量的深远影响。所以，文章主要讲的是陪伴对老年人生活的影响。故选D项。

New research shows that the health consequences of wildfire smoke exposure stretch well beyond the smoky days themselves, contributing to nearly 16,000 deaths each year across the U.S., according to a National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) analysis released in April. The analysis warns that number could grow to nearly 30,000 deaths a year by the middle of the century.
Wildfire smoke is rarely listed as a cause of death on people’s death certificates. But research has shown that tiny particles present in smoke worsen many different health problems. These particles penetrate (渗透) deep into people’s lungs and can cross into the bloodstream or even into the brain. Repeated exposures, or high-concentration exposures, can worsen other health problems, from heart and kidney disease to promoting the onset of dementia (痴呆) symptoms. In some cases, the stress from wildfire smoke is so great that some people die.
Because the harm from wildfire smoke can accumulate and isn’t always immediately obvious, the long-term risks from wildfire smoke exposure have gone underestimated.
The NBER analysis used a suite of different computer models to figure out the relationship between fire activity and how much smoke was produced. In years like 2020, some northern California counties were exposed to double their normal pollution load for the year. In conditions like those, the total number of deaths increased by almost 6%. Even small increases in smoke exposure averaged out over the year, push mortality up.
Even with aggressive climate action in coming decades, wildfire activity is forecast to grow—and with it, smoke exposure. By the middle of the century, models suggest people across the U.S. will likely experience two to three times as much smoke as they did before 2020. Smoke-related deaths could rise by at least 8,000 people every year. With less aggressive climate action, the number of deaths could be even higher.
12. What can be learned about wildfire smoke exposure
A. It has become the main cause of death. B. It produces immediate harmful effects.
C. It makes health problems more serious. D. It can be avoided by using dust masks.
13. What will happen to Americans according to the computer models
A. Experiencing less wildfire smoke exposure.
B. Facing more deaths caused by heavy smoking.
C. Having more deaths connected to wildfire smoke.
D. Reducing wildfire activities with aggressive actions.
14. Where does this passage probably come from
A. A scientific report. B. Analysis of climate change.
C. An academic paper. D. Research findings of wildfire.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Formation of Wildlife Smoke B. The Harm of Wildfire Smoke to Health
C. The Ways to Reduce Wildfires D. The Causes of Too Many Wildfires
【答案】12 C 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新的研究显示接触野火烟雾对人体健康影响很大，每年导致近1.6万人死亡，未来可能增至3万人。烟雾中的微小颗粒会加重多种疾病，其长期危害被低估。即使采取气候行动，野火活动和烟雾暴露预计仍会增加，导致死亡人数上升。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But research has shown that tiny particles present in smoke worsen many different health problems. (但研究表明，烟雾中的微小颗粒会恶化许多不同的健康问题)”可知，接触野火烟雾使健康问题更加严重。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“By the middle of the century, models suggest people across the U.S. will likely experience two to three times as much smoke as they did before 2020. Smoke-related deaths could rise by at least 8,000 people every year. (模型显示，到本世纪中叶，美国各地的烟雾量可能会是2020年之前的两到三倍。与烟雾相关的死亡人数每年至少会增加8000人)”可知，根据计算机模型，美国将有更多的人死于野火烟雾。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“New research shows that the health consequences of wildfire smoke exposure stretch well beyond the smoky days themselves, contributing to nearly 16,000 deaths each year across the U.S., according to a National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) analysis released in April. (根据美国国家经济研究局(NBER)今年4月发布的一份分析报告，新的研究表明，接触野火烟雾对健康的影响远远超出了烟雾天本身，美国每年有近1.6万人死亡)”可推知，文章应该是出自一份科学报告，具体呈现了该报告中提及的接触野火烟雾的危害。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“New research shows that the health consequences of wildfire smoke exposure stretch well beyond the smoky days themselves, contributing to nearly 16,000 deaths each year across the U.S., according to a National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) analysis released in April. The analysis warns that number could grow to nearly 30,000 deaths a year by the middle of the century.

(作为一个青少年可以给你生活带来翻天覆地的变化。你会发现，与父母交谈、沟通和信任已经不像以前那么容易了。然而，你的父母也在努力应对你与他们关系的变化。)”提到青少年会发现和父母沟通变得不再容易，父母也努力应对这种情况，后文段落给出了具体的解决方法，空处应该和如何解决该问题相关，因此G项“How can you relearn to get along with your parents and have fun together (你怎样才能重新学会与父母相处，一起玩乐呢？)”符合语境，以问题的形式引出后文的解决方法。故选G。
