When Roger Payne first heard the curious underwater sounds of a humpback whale, he was so moved that he cried.
Payne realized that the whale songs could be used as part of the novel movement to protect the mammals from extinction. In1970 he released Songs of the Humpback Whale, an LP that sold 125,000 copies on first launch and remains the bestselling environmental album of all time. Accompanying the album was a 40-page booklet which impressed the need to conserve the world’s whale populations.
When asked how whale songs should be heard, Payne said, “Attentively. You should listen silently. You should listen with nothing else to distract you. That’s the way to listen.”
His own dream of learning “whaleish”, as he called it, was only half-complete;he believed that such knowledge draws us closer to the animal kingdom. It troubled him that he would not be alive to help in the fight to protect animals on the brink of extinction. “I find myself at 88 years of age,” he wrote in an article for TIME magazine, “very close to the end of a long life, coming to terms with the fact that I will not be around to find out what we learn.”
Payne was always curious, with a childlike delight in the natural world and his interests were wide-ranging. Astronomy, giant clams and cellular biology, to name a few. He was also a practical man who spent many of his waking hours working with machinery in a messy workshop.
“We have learnt that all men are created equal,” said Payne after showing the beauty of whale songs to the world, “but the whales remind us that all species are created equal—that every organism on Earth, whether large or small, has an inalienable right to life.”
24. What impact did Roger Payne’s album Songs of the Humpback Whale have
A. It became the best-selling album of all time.
B. It raised the awareness of whale conservation.
C. It led to a significant increase in humpback whale populations.
D. It featured a 40-page booklet about other marine animals.
25. According to Roger Payne, how should whale songs be listened to
A. By scientifically analyzing the acoustic patterns.
B. While multitasking, such as reading or writing.
C. With background sounds to enhance the experience.
D. Listening intently and without any distractions.
26. What difficulty did Roger Payne have learning “whaleish”
A. He feared that his efforts would be in vain.
B. He worried about the impact of his work on the animal kingdom.
C. He might not live long enough to see the results.
D. He was concerned about the limitations of human understanding.
27. Which words best describe Roger Payne
A. Curious and enthusiastic. B. Practical and generous.
C. Knowledgeable and diverse. D. Compassionate and diligent.
C
Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5,2023, online issue of Neurology@. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease,” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Hiroshima University in Hiroshima, Japan.
The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease.
Researchers found that the number of teeth and the amount of gum disease were linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease, the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.
“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones.”
Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.
28. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about
A. Causes of gum disease.
B. The symptoms of brain shrinkage.
C. Ways to take good care of one’s teeth.
D. The connection between the teeth and the brain.
29. How did researchers reach the conclusion
A. By making comparisons.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By conducting a survey among dentists.
D. By proving experts’ theory in experiments.
30. What do the research findings indicate
A. Gum disease is increasing among people.
B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance.
C. Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health.
D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.
31. What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi
A. Exploring treatments for gum disease.
B. Seeking new methods to improve brain health.
C. Involving people from other places in the research.
D. Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer’s disease.
D
Imagine finding yourself in a spoken word event (also known as performance poetry). You’re attracted by the performer on stage as he conveys his deepest thoughts to the room:
Today I bought you flowers,
How strange meanings can change,
What was once a symbol of joy is now one of pain,
A universal language for when you don’t know what to say.
The crowd is attentive but far from silent. Throughout the performance, you hear clapping and cheers, expressing approval of specific lines. And then the poem ends with thunderous applause and the poet returns to his seat. The performance has ended, but its energy continues to exist throughout the night.
Spoken word events are far from your standard poetry reading. Many people today think of poetry as a silent, individual act but it actually started as an oral (口头的) tradition. Before mass literacy, poems and stories were shared verbally and performed to the public. In modern times, mass media provided audiences with alternative means of entertainment and the art of storytelling declined. The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots.
The spoken word helps people achieve healing and emotional balance. It shares many benefits with written poetry, including helping us organize our thoughts, process our emotions and promote self-reflection. However, it’s not just the sharing of poetry that is healing. It’s the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry. Poets can be themselves in this safe space, where they avoid being judged and laughed at. The feeling of healing also applies to audience members who relate to the poet’s words. Hearing someone who is going through the same feelings or experiences that you are going through or have experienced in the past can make you feel less alone and more connected to others, knowing that the struggles are shared.
The spoken word is an unbelievably accessible art form. There are very few rules, and the form is interpreted fairly broadly. As long as you are performing an original piece which doesn’t include any offensive (冒犯的) content, it will be accepted at a spoken word event.
32. Why is the scene of a performance mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To draw readers’ attention to the spoken word.
B. To call on audience to participate in the event.
C. To inform the content of a spoken word event.
D. To highlight the importance of spoken word poetry.
33. What does the underlined word “verbally” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. In private. B. On stage.
C. In spoken words. D. With enthusiasm.
34. What’s the core of spoken word poetry according to the text
A. The sharing of individual poems among performers.
B. The same feelings and experiences connecting people.
C. The promotion of self-reflection and emotional balance.
D. The extent of relationships between the poets and the audience.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. Reading Aloud in Public B. More Than Poetry Reading
C. A New Kind of Spoken Events D. The Popularity of the Spoken Word

Once upon a time in the bustling city of New York, there lived a young woman named Emily. Emily was a bright, ambitious woman with a promising career and a loving family. However, she had one major phobia (恐惧症) that held her back—the fear of public speaking.
As a child, Emily had been the center of attention in her classroom. Her teachers loved her for her intelligence and her ability to fascinate her audience with her stories. But when it came to presenting in front of larger groups, Emily would break into a cold sweat and stammer (口吃，结结巴巴地说) out her words. This phobia had started to take a toll on her confidence and professional growth.
One day, Emily received an invitation to speak at a prestigious (有声望的) event hosted by a global marketing firm. This was a golden opportunity for her to prove herself and advance her career. But the thought of standing in front of dozens of professionals and delivering a speech made her heart race faster.
Emily consulted her best friend Sarah, who was a successful entrepreneur (企业家) and a public speaking expert. Sarah listened patiently and shared some valuable insights, “The first step to overcoming any fear is to face it head-on. Public speaking can be nerve-wracking (伤脑筋的), but remember, everyone feels that way at some point. The key is to prepare well and believe in yourself.”
With Sarah’s advice, Emily decided to practice her speech daily and sought the guidance of professional public speakers. She attended workshops, watched videos, and even hired a coach to help her build confidence and improve her delivery.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day of the event arrived, and Emily felt a mix of emotions. In the days that followed, Emily’s speech went viral on social media, earning praise from industry experts and peers alike.

（Text 10）
W: Hey, friends! I've missed you. Let me tell you about my trip to Mexico this summer. It was the first time that I had left the United States and traveled to a foreign country. I learned useful traveling tips and had an exciting time in a different culture. The first and most important thing I learned was to make sure to apply for a passport months in advance. I got mine right before I was scheduled to leave, because I waited until the last minute! Secondly, if you are flying, be sure to book a plane ticket far ahead of time so you can get a fair price. Thirdly, my another travel tip is to be sure you pack lightly. You will be taking that luggage around with you everywhere, and it gets heavy quickly! Last but not least, I had some great times exploring the local culture. I was trying all the new kinds of food and went to special cultural events, like special dance performances and street festivals. If you follow these tips, I think you'll have an easy and rewarding experience!

第一节
A篇
【主题语境】人与社会——志愿者招募
【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章是一则加拿大自然博物馆的志愿者招募启事，介绍了招募要求、福利和志愿者岗位等。
21. 答案B。细节理解题。根据 What We Look for in a Volunteer 部分中的 “We ask volunteers to commit a half day a week for three to four months, minimum.” 可知，博物馆要求志愿者每周投入半天时间，至少持续三到四个月。B项中的 “two-month” 不符合要求。故选B。
22. 答案 D。细节理解题。结合第一段中的 “At the Canadian Museum of Nature. . . with special exhibitions” 和 Benefits of Volunteering 部分中的 “Visit all parts of the museum without any charge. ” 可知，志愿者可以免费参观整个博物馆, 包含特殊展览。故选 D。
23. 答案 A。细节理解题。根据 School Programs中的 “Volunteers. . . will support staff in the in-person delivery of workshops to school groups” 可知，学校项目的志愿者需要协助举办研讨会。故选 A。
B篇
【主题语境】人与自然——环境保护
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。Roger Payne 听见鲸鱼的歌声后，通过他的工作来推动鲸类保护，并强调了物种平等和保护地球上每个生物生存权利的重要性。
24. 答案B。细节理解题。文章在第二段的第二句中提到 Roger Payne的这张专辑一发行就卖了125，000张，一直是最畅销的环保专辑。但第三句中提到这张专辑附带的40页的小册子强调了保护世界鲸类种群的必要性，结合文章后面的内容和保护动物的主旨可知，专辑的影响概括为提高了人们对鲸类的保护意识会更恰当。
25. 答案D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段，当 Roger Payne被问到该怎么听鲸鱼的歌声时，他说你应该专注地、静静地聆听，应该没有其他干扰。由此可找到答案。
26. 答案C。推理判断题。根据文章第四段第二句和第三句，困扰 Roger Payne的是他的寿命有限，他不能一直加入到保护濒临灭绝动物的斗争中。他写道：“我发现自己已经88岁了，离长寿的生命末期越来越近，于是我开始接受我将无法知道我们会学到什么的这个事实。”由此可知 Roger Payne在学习“鲸语”方面遇到了的困难是他可能活不到看到结果的时候。
27. 答案D。人物性格题。Roger Payne能够关注到鲸鱼的数量减少，体现出他富有同情心。再根据他采取了措施来保护其免于灭绝，并且同时对天文学、巨蛤和细胞生物学等前沿领域感兴趣，能够推断出他也是有远见的。
C篇
【主题语境】人与社会——健康的生活方式
【语篇导读】本文是说明文，介绍了保护牙齿和大脑健康的关系。
28. 答案D。细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，《神经学》杂志发表的一项研究显示，保护好牙齿可能与更好的大脑健康有关。科研人员的研究发现，牙龈疾病和牙齿脱落与大脑海马体的萎缩有关，而海马体在记忆和阿尔茨海默病中发挥着作用。由此可知，Yamaguchi的研究内容是关于牙齿与大脑之间的关系。故选 D项。
29. 答案A。推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，研究人员发现，牙齿数量和牙龈疾病的严重程度与大脑左海马体的体积变化有关。对于轻度牙龈疾病患者来说，牙齿较少与左海马体的大脑萎缩速度更快有关。同样，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，牙齿更多与同一区域的大脑萎缩速度更快也有关。在对年龄进行调整后，研究人员发现，对于患有轻度牙龈疾病的人来说，因少了一颗牙齿而加快的大脑萎缩相当于大脑近一年的自然衰老。相比之下，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，多一颗牙齿而加快的大脑萎缩相当于大脑1. 3年的自然衰老。由此可推知，研究人员通过作比较的方法得出了研究结果。故选 A项。
30. 答案 B。细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth. ” 可知，研究结果强调了保持牙齿健康的重要性，而不仅仅是保留牙齿。由此可知，研究结果表明了保持牙齿健康是至关重要的。故选B项。
31. 答案C。细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，Yamaguchi表示未来的研究需要在更广泛的人群中进行。这项研究的局限性在于它是在日本的一个地区进行的，因此结果可能不适用于其他地区。由此可推出，未来的研究最有可能是对其他地区的人们进行研究。故选C项。
D篇
【主题语境】人与社会——诗歌的介绍
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了口语诗歌的特点、起源以及它对人们的好处。
32. 答案 A。目的意图题。第一段描述了一个口语诗歌表演现场的场景，让读者想象自己身临其境，下文具体介绍了口语诗歌的优势。故此处旨在引起读者对口语诗歌的关注。故选A。
33. 答案C。词义猜测题。根据第三段中 “it actually started as an oral（口头的） tradition” 以及 “The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots. ” 可知，现在许多人认为诗歌是一种无声的、个人的行为，但实际上，它是一种口头传统。现在口语诗歌越来越流行，诗歌正在回归其根源，越来越口语化。由此推知，此处表示在大众识字之前，诗歌和故事是口头分享并向公众表演的。verbally意为“口头地；非书面地”，和C项意思相近。故选C。
34. 答案D。推理判断题。根据第四段中 “It's the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry.” 可知，口语诗歌的核心是诗人和听众之间建立的联系的程度。故选D。
35. 答案B。标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了口语诗歌的特点、起源以及对人们的疗愈作用，它不只是简单的诗歌朗读。所以B项（不只是诗歌阅读）适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
第二节
【主题语境】人与社会——体育与健康
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了人们在运动中预防脑震荡的三种有效措施。
36. 答案C。设空处为段尾设空过渡句，有承上启下的作用。第一段讲脑震荡在职业体育运动和青少年活动中时有发生，下文介绍了三种预防脑震荡的措施，所以用 Here are the measures taken to prevent concussions来承上启下。干扰项 A 项虽然可以与上文连接, 但是与下文没有联系起来，所以选C。
37. 答案D。设空处为段中设空过渡句，表转折关系。从前一句得知，足球头盔的发展旨在减少头骨骨折等严重伤害，而后面说现代头盔使得防止球员脑震荡成为可能，因此可知重点已转向预防脑震荡，上下文形成了转折关系，同时D中的 concussion prevention和最后一句中的 prevent players from concussions是同义词重现。
38. 答案A。设空处是段首设空主旨句，也就是一个小标题。从全段的内容来看，都是在讲要为教练和球员提供更好的培训。故选 A。
39. 答案G。设空处是段首设空中心句。从小标题可知，这是第三个措施，要提供更好的医疗。因此G项为中心句，意为“在训练和比赛中有训练有素的医疗专业人员在场对于有效的脑震荡管理至关重要”。后面的 Their expertise 中的 Their 指的就是医疗专业人员。
40. 答案F。设空处是段中设空细节句。前一句意为，他们的专业知识（使他们）能够迅速识别和移除受伤的球员，减轻受伤的严重程度和缩短恢复时间。后一句意为，全面的医疗护理，包括基线测试、损伤后评估和个性化的康复计划，可以最大限度地减轻脑震荡的影响，并为运动员的康复提供必要的支持。由此可知这些都是对中心句进行细节补充，讲述医疗专业人员能采取哪些医疗措施，从而减轻脑震荡的影响。故选F，快速又准确的诊断、适当的治疗和适当的管理对运动员的健康至关重要。干扰项 E, 乍一看 Their rich experience and better medical care. . . 结构和上一句 Their expertise. . . 结构相似, 又包含小标题中的核心词汇，但不是具体医疗措施，放进去前后逻辑不通。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
【主题语境】人与社会——乐于助人诠释体育精神

46. B 考查名词辨析。根据上文可知，在赛场上看到选手 Garrett Hinson 出现状况，“我”出手帮忙，由此推测，他的妈妈很快向“我”表达了感谢。故选 B。
47. D 考查副词辨析。根据上一题可知，Garrett Hinson 的妈妈向“我”表达了感谢，她可能会说，“我”绝对是她心中的英雄。故选 D。

第二节
【主题语境】人与社会——中国传统文化古诗的介绍
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章简单介绍了中国古诗的一些相关情况。
56. striking 考查词性转换。句意：经典古诗在表达上有惊人的想象力。strike 的形容词 striking的意思是“惊人的”。
57. connections 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空前有形容词 close“紧密的”修饰，空处应填 connect的名词形式。connection在此表示“（两种事实、观念等的）联系；关联”，是可数名词，此处用复数表示泛指。故填 connections。

参考范文：
Meet the Art
This May Day saw numerous visitors to the “Meet the Art” exhibition in our city museum. To cultivate citizen’ s artistic accomplishment, the museum exhibited many fantastic pictures of impressionists and post-impressionists, bringing a feast for the eyes of art lovers. I enjoyed every second of the show and was particularly attracted by Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night and the Sunflowers. Exposed to his colors, forms and imagination, I seemed to have reached his passionate inner world.
I hope in the future shows can last longer and more schools of pictures including Chinese masterpieces can be displayed.

When Roger Payne first heard the curious underwater sounds of a humpback whale, he was so moved that he cried.
Payne realized that the whale songs could be used as part of the novel movement to protect the mammals from extinction. In1970 he released Songs of the Humpback Whale, an LP that sold 125,000 copies on first launch and remains the bestselling environmental album of all time. Accompanying the album was a 40-page booklet which impressed the need to conserve the world’s whale populations.
When asked how whale songs should be heard, Payne said, “Attentively. You should listen silently. You should listen with nothing else to distract you. That’s the way to listen.”
His own dream of learning “whaleish”, as he called it, was only half-complete;he believed that such knowledge draws us closer to the animal kingdom. It troubled him that he would not be alive to help in the fight to protect animals on the brink of extinction. “I find myself at 88 years of age,” he wrote in an article for TIME magazine, “very close to the end of a long life, coming to terms with the fact that I will not be around to find out what we learn.”
Payne was always curious, with a childlike delight in the natural world and his interests were wide-ranging. Astronomy, giant clams and cellular biology, to name a few. He was also a practical man who spent many of his waking hours working with machinery in a messy workshop.
“We have learnt that all men are created equal,” said Payne after showing the beauty of whale songs to the world, “but the whales remind us that all species are created equal—that every organism on Earth, whether large or small, has an inalienable right to life.”
24. What impact did Roger Payne’s album Songs of the Humpback Whale have
A. It became the best-selling album of all time.
B. It raised the awareness of whale conservation.
C. It led to a significant increase in humpback whale populations.
D. It featured a 40-page booklet about other marine animals.
25. According to Roger Payne, how should whale songs be listened to
A. By scientifically analyzing the acoustic patterns.
B. While multitasking, such as reading or writing.
C. With background sounds to enhance the experience.
D. Listening intently and without any distractions.
26. What difficulty did Roger Payne have learning “whaleish”
A. He feared that his efforts would be in vain.
B. He worried about the impact of his work on the animal kingdom.
C. He might not live long enough to see the results.
D. He was concerned about the limitations of human understanding.
27. Which words best describe Roger Payne
A. Curious and enthusiastic. B. Practical and generous.
C. Knowledgeable and diverse. D. Compassionate and diligent.
C
Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5,2023, online issue of Neurology@. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease,” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Hiroshima University in Hiroshima, Japan.
The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease.
Researchers found that the number of teeth and the amount of gum disease were linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease, the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.
“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones.”
Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.
28. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about
A. Causes of gum disease.
B. The symptoms of brain shrinkage.
C. Ways to take good care of one’s teeth.
D. The connection between the teeth and the brain.
29. How did researchers reach the conclusion
A. By making comparisons.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By conducting a survey among dentists.
D. By proving experts’ theory in experiments.
30. What do the research findings indicate
A. Gum disease is increasing among people.
B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance.
C. Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health.
D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.
31. What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi
A. Exploring treatments for gum disease.
B. Seeking new methods to improve brain health.
C. Involving people from other places in the research.
D. Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer’s disease.

Imagine finding yourself in a spoken word event (also known as performance poetry). You’re attracted by the performer on stage as he conveys his deepest thoughts to the room:
Today I bought you flowers,
How strange meanings can change,
What was once a symbol of joy is now one of pain,
A universal language for when you don’t know what to say.
The crowd is attentive but far from silent. Throughout the performance, you hear clapping and cheers, expressing approval of specific lines. And then the poem ends with thunderous applause and the poet returns to his seat. The performance has ended, but its energy continues to exist throughout the night.
Spoken word events are far from your standard poetry reading. Many people today think of poetry as a silent, individual act but it actually started as an oral (口头的) tradition. Before mass literacy, poems and stories were shared verbally and performed to the public. In modern times, mass media provided audiences with alternative means of entertainment and the art of storytelling declined. The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots.
The spoken word helps people achieve healing and emotional balance. It shares many benefits with written poetry, including helping us organize our thoughts, process our emotions and promote self-reflection. However, it’s not just the sharing of poetry that is healing. It’s the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry. Poets can be themselves in this safe space, where they avoid being judged and laughed at.

Coach Josh Husted said, “He saw this runner on the ground 43 and it seemed he wasn’t getting the medical attention that he needed.” So Zach, jumped back on the 44 and helped Garrett. “It was about 15 meters from the finish line.

Zach said Garrett Hinson’s mother quickly expressed her 46 , “She said I was 47 her hero.” While hero to some, a national cross-country rule called it 48 and disqualified both runners. Zach was heartbroken, saying, “I didn’t want anyone to see me 49 because I couldn’t take it.”

When asked whether he would 53 his actions if he could, Zach replied, “If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing because I did what I thought was right.”

Once upon a time in the bustling city of New York, there lived a young woman named Emily. Emily was a bright, ambitious woman with a promising career and a loving family. However, she had one major phobia (恐惧症) that held her back—the fear of public speaking.
As a child, Emily had been the center of attention in her classroom. Her teachers loved her for her intelligence and her ability to fascinate her audience with her stories. But when it came to presenting in front of larger groups, Emily would break into a cold sweat and stammer (口吃，结结巴巴地说) out her words. This phobia had started to take a toll on her confidence and professional growth.
One day, Emily received an invitation to speak at a prestigious (有声望的) event hosted by a global marketing firm. This was a golden opportunity for her to prove herself and advance her career. But the thought of standing in front of dozens of professionals and delivering a speech made her heart race faster.
Emily consulted her best friend Sarah, who was a successful entrepreneur (企业家) and a public speaking expert. Sarah listened patiently and shared some valuable insights, “The first step to overcoming any fear is to face it head-on. Public speaking can be nerve-wracking (伤脑筋的), but remember, everyone feels that way at some point. The key is to prepare well and believe in yourself.”
With Sarah’s advice, Emily decided to practice her speech daily and sought the guidance of professional public speakers. She attended workshops, watched videos, and even hired a coach to help her build confidence and improve her delivery.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day of the event arrived, and Emily felt a mix of emotions. In the days that followed, Emily’s speech went viral on social media, earning praise from industry experts and peers alike.

I got mine right before I was scheduled to leave, because I waited until the last minute! Secondly, if you are flying, be sure to book a plane ticket far ahead of time so you can get a fair price. Thirdly, my another travel tip is to be sure you pack lightly. You will be taking that luggage around with you everywhere, and it gets heavy quickly! Last but not least, I had some great times exploring the local culture. I was trying all the new kinds of food and went to special cultural events, like special dance performances and street festivals. If you follow these tips, I think you'll have an easy and rewarding experience!

A篇
【主题语境】人与社会——志愿者招募
【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章是一则加拿大自然博物馆的志愿者招募启事，介绍了招募要求、福利和志愿者岗位等。
21. 答案B。细节理解题。根据 What We Look for in a Volunteer 部分中的 “We ask volunteers to commit a half day a week for three to four months, minimum.” 可知，博物馆要求志愿者每周投入半天时间，至少持续三到四个月。B项中的 “two-month” 不符合要求。故选B。
22. 答案 D。细节理解题。结合第一段中的 “At the Canadian Museum of Nature. . . with special exhibitions” 和 Benefits of Volunteering 部分中的 “Visit all parts of the museum without any charge. ” 可知，志愿者可以免费参观整个博物馆, 包含特殊展览。故选 D。
23. 答案 A。细节理解题。根据 School Programs中的 “Volunteers. . . will support staff in the in-person delivery of workshops to school groups” 可知，学校项目的志愿者需要协助举办研讨会。故选 A。
B篇
【主题语境】人与自然——环境保护
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。Roger Payne 听见鲸鱼的歌声后，通过他的工作来推动鲸类保护，并强调了物种平等和保护地球上每个生物生存权利的重要性。
24. 答案B。细节理解题。文章在第二段的第二句中提到 Roger Payne的这张专辑一发行就卖了125，000张，一直是最畅销的环保专辑。但第三句中提到这张专辑附带的40页的小册子强调了保护世界鲸类种群的必要性，结合文章后面的内容和保护动物的主旨可知，专辑的影响概括为提高了人们对鲸类的保护意识会更恰当。
25. 答案D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段，当 Roger Payne被问到该怎么听鲸鱼的歌声时，他说你应该专注地、静静地聆听，应该没有其他干扰。由此可找到答案。
26. 答案C。推理判断题。根据文章第四段第二句和第三句，困扰 Roger Payne的是他的寿命有限，他不能一直加入到保护濒临灭绝动物的斗争中。他写道：“我发现自己已经88岁了，离长寿的生命末期越来越近，于是我开始接受我将无法知道我们会学到什么的这个事实。”由此可知 Roger Payne在学习“鲸语”方面遇到了的困难是他可能活不到看到结果的时候。
27. 答案D。人物性格题。Roger Payne能够关注到鲸鱼的数量减少，体现出他富有同情心。再根据他采取了措施来保护其免于灭绝，并且同时对天文学、巨蛤和细胞生物学等前沿领域感兴趣，能够推断出他也是有远见的。
C篇
【主题语境】人与社会——健康的生活方式
【语篇导读】本文是说明文，介绍了保护牙齿和大脑健康的关系。
28. 答案D。细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，《神经学》杂志发表的一项研究显示，保护好牙齿可能与更好的大脑健康有关。科研人员的研究发现，牙龈疾病和牙齿脱落与大脑海马体的萎缩有关，而海马体在记忆和阿尔茨海默病中发挥着作用。由此可知，Yamaguchi的研究内容是关于牙齿与大脑之间的关系。故选 D项。
29. 答案A。推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，研究人员发现，牙齿数量和牙龈疾病的严重程度与大脑左海马体的体积变化有关。对于轻度牙龈疾病患者来说，牙齿较少与左海马体的大脑萎缩速度更快有关。同样，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，牙齿更多与同一区域的大脑萎缩速度更快也有关。在对年龄进行调整后，研究人员发现，对于患有轻度牙龈疾病的人来说，因少了一颗牙齿而加快的大脑萎缩相当于大脑近一年的自然衰老。相比之下，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，多一颗牙齿而加快的大脑萎缩相当于大脑1. 3年的自然衰老。由此可推知，研究人员通过作比较的方法得出了研究结果。故选 A项。
30. 答案 B。细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth. ” 可知，研究结果强调了保持牙齿健康的重要性，而不仅仅是保留牙齿。由此可知，研究结果表明了保持牙齿健康是至关重要的。故选B项。
31. 答案C。细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，Yamaguchi表示未来的研究需要在更广泛的人群中进行。这项研究的局限性在于它是在日本的一个地区进行的，因此结果可能不适用于其他地区。由此可推出，未来的研究最有可能是对其他地区的人们进行研究。故选C项。
D篇
【主题语境】人与社会——诗歌的介绍
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了口语诗歌的特点、起源以及它对人们的好处。
32. 答案 A。目的意图题。第一段描述了一个口语诗歌表演现场的场景，让读者想象自己身临其境，下文具体介绍了口语诗歌的优势。故此处旨在引起读者对口语诗歌的关注。故选A。
33. 答案C。词义猜测题。根据第三段中 “it actually started as an oral（口头的） tradition” 以及 “The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots. ” 可知，现在许多人认为诗歌是一种无声的、个人的行为，但实际上，它是一种口头传统。现在口语诗歌越来越流行，诗歌正在回归其根源，越来越口语化。由此推知，此处表示在大众识字之前，诗歌和故事是口头分享并向公众表演的。verbally意为“口头地；非书面地”，和C项意思相近。故选C。
34. 答案D。推理判断题。根据第四段中 “It's the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry.” 可知，口语诗歌的核心是诗人和听众之间建立的联系的程度。故选D。
35. 答案B。标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了口语诗歌的特点、起源以及对人们的疗愈作用，它不只是简单的诗歌朗读。所以B项（不只是诗歌阅读）适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
第二节
【主题语境】人与社会——体育与健康
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了人们在运动中预防脑震荡的三种有效措施。
36. 答案C。设空处为段尾设空过渡句，有承上启下的作用。第一段讲脑震荡在职业体育运动和青少年活动中时有发生，下文介绍了三种预防脑震荡的措施，所以用 Here are the measures taken to prevent concussions来承上启下。干扰项 A 项虽然可以与上文连接, 但是与下文没有联系起来，所以选C。
37. 答案D。设空处为段中设空过渡句，表转折关系。从前一句得知，足球头盔的发展旨在减少头骨骨折等严重伤害，而后面说现代头盔使得防止球员脑震荡成为可能，因此可知重点已转向预防脑震荡，上下文形成了转折关系，同时D中的 concussion prevention和最后一句中的 prevent players from concussions是同义词重现。
38. 答案A。设空处是段首设空主旨句，也就是一个小标题。从全段的内容来看，都是在讲要为教练和球员提供更好的培训。故选 A。
39. 答案G。设空处是段首设空中心句。从小标题可知，这是第三个措施，要提供更好的医疗。因此G项为中心句，意为“在训练和比赛中有训练有素的医疗专业人员在场对于有效的脑震荡管理至关重要”。后面的 Their expertise 中的 Their 指的就是医疗专业人员。
40. 答案F。设空处是段中设空细节句。前一句意为，他们的专业知识（使他们）能够迅速识别和移除受伤的球员，减轻受伤的严重程度和缩短恢复时间。后一句意为，全面的医疗护理，包括基线测试、损伤后评估和个性化的康复计划，可以最大限度地减轻脑震荡的影响，并为运动员的康复提供必要的支持。由此可知这些都是对中心句进行细节补充，讲述医疗专业人员能采取哪些医疗措施，从而减轻脑震荡的影响。故选F，快速又准确的诊断、适当的治疗和适当的管理对运动员的健康至关重要。干扰项 E, 乍一看 Their rich experience and better medical care. . . 结构和上一句 Their expertise. . . 结构相似, 又包含小标题中的核心词汇，但不是具体医疗措施，放进去前后逻辑不通。

46. B 考查名词辨析。根据上文可知，在赛场上看到选手 Garrett Hinson 出现状况，“我”出手帮忙，由此推测，他的妈妈很快向“我”表达了感谢。故选 B。
47. D 考查副词辨析。根据上一题可知，Garrett Hinson 的妈妈向“我”表达了感谢，她可能会说，“我”绝对是她心中的英雄。故选 D。
48. B 考查形容词辨析。根据上文可知，Zach在比赛中帮助了需要就医的 Garrett Hinson，结合下文 “and disqualified both runners” 可知，两位选手都违反了比赛规则。故选 B。

57. connections 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空前有形容词 close“紧密的”修饰，空处应填 connect的名词形式。connection在此表示“（两种事实、观念等的）联系；关联”，是可数名词，此处用复数表示泛指。故填 connections。
58. be documented 考查动词的语态。document 在此表示“记录；记载”，是及物动词。document与 existence之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态。故填 be documented。

60. arose 考查动词的时态。句意：它们中的很多或者说大部分产生于唐代晚期。arise“产生，出现”，是不及物动词。根据时间状语“at the end of the Tang Dynasty”可知，本句应用一般过去时态。故填 arose。
61. actively 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰谓语动词 continued，应用其副词形式，表示“活跃地”。故填 actively。
62. when 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是 the year of 1919，且空处在从句中作时间状语。故填 when。
63. a 考查冠词。a great deal of“大量的，许多”，是固定搭配，修饰不可数名词。故填a。
64. with 考查介词搭配。句意理解为和其他的中国艺术形式的相互关联，所以填介词 with。
65. to be enjoyed 考查短语 proceed to do 的被动形式 proceed to be done，这个句子的意思是古诗继续在世界范围内被不少的读者喜欢。
第四部分 写作

参考范文：
Meet the Art
This May Day saw numerous visitors to the “Meet the Art” exhibition in our city museum. To cultivate citizen’ s artistic accomplishment, the museum exhibited many fantastic pictures of impressionists and post-impressionists, bringing a feast for the eyes of art lovers. I enjoyed every second of the show and was particularly attracted by Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night and the Sunflowers. Exposed to his colors, forms and imagination, I seemed to have reached his passionate inner world.
I hope in the future shows can last longer and more schools of pictures including Chinese masterpieces can be displayed.
