20. What does Mickey Mouse represent
A. Characters of Disney. B. Famous cartoon creation. C. Popular culture in America.
【答案】17. C 18. A 19. A 20. C
【原文】
Mickey Mouse is not Walt Disney’s first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his most famous one. Supposedly, Disney took his inspiration of drawing Mickey from the field mice that used to run into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now-familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lillian started to call him Mickey Mouse. Disney planned Mickey’s first show in the short cartoon Plane Crazy. By the 1930s, Mickey’s image had circled the world. He won the heart of everyone and became a superstar. Although he has received a few little changes throughout his lifetime, he has remained true to his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is nice. He is both good-natured and smart. Perhaps that was Disney’s own image of himself. Why else would he have insisted on doing Mickey’s voice in all the cartoons for twenty years When interviewed, he would say, “There’s a lot of the mouse in me.” And that mouse has remained one of the most well-known images in America. Actually, it stands for one of the most enjoyable cultures in America. For other images, we’ll talk about them later.

Every year during Halloween, it’s likely homes around the neighborhood will put up some spider webs as their spooky (恐怖的) decorations. But people were asked to stop using fake spider webs last year because they pose a huge danger to natural wildlife.
The fake webbing is considered a danger to birds, bats and other small animals as they are often attracted to the decoration and get caught, resulting in injuries or sometimes even death. What’s more, when blown around by the wind, fake Halloween spider webs often end up in public spaces like parks and beaches, attracting wildlife. Since they are not biodegradable (可生物降解的), they can linger for months or even years, posing a continuous threat to the environment and animals.
Last year, government authorities actively used social media to warn about the dangers posed by popular Halloween decorations. One post advised: “Please avoid using fake spider webs when decorating your home. They can be very harmful to wildlife, especially birds, which often mistake spider silk for building their nests and cannot distinguish between real and synthetic webbing. This can lead to birds and their young becoming entangled, along with bats, insects and other wildlife.”
The Paws & Recover Facebook group posted a reminder about the dangers of synthetic webbing, generating over 700 comments from people expressing how much they loathe the decoration due to the great harm it causes to precious wildlife.
Wildlife experts have urged people to use larger, safer decorations that don’t endanger passionate individuals have also shared advice online. “Here I am, ready to spoil your Halloween decorating fun! PLEASE DO NOT USE FAKE SPIDER WEBS OUTSIDE,” a woman cautioned, sharing her photos. Another suggested, “If you’re looking for decorating ideas, consider reusing or repurposing items you already own.”
24. What is the problem with fake spider webs
A. They are not visually appealing. B. They break down easily.
C. They pose a risk to wildlife. D. They are difficult to clean up.
25. Why did local officials share posts on social media
A. To raise people’s awareness of fake webbing issues.
B. To warn people about the danger of Halloween decorations.
C. To respond to people’s concerns on environment.
D. To promote bird protection practices.
26. What does the underlined word “loathe” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Ignore. B. Choose. C. Hate. D. Frighten.
27. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this text
A. Abandon dangerous Halloween decorations.
B. Restore the losing wildlife habitats.
C. Celebrate Halloween responsibly.
D. Stop using fake spider webs for Halloween.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了停止使用万圣节假蜘蛛网装饰的原因，因为这些装饰对野生动物构成威胁。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But people were asked to stop using fake spider webs last year because they pose a huge danger to natural wildlife.(但去年人们被要求停止使用假蜘蛛网，因为它们对自然野生动物构成巨大危险)”可知，假蜘蛛网的问题是假蜘蛛网对野生动物构成威胁。故选C。
25. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Last year, government authorities actively used social media to warn about the dangers posed by popular Halloween decorations.(去年，政府当局积极利用社交媒体警告流行的万圣节装饰品带来的危险)”可推知，当地官员在社交媒体上发布帖子是为了提高人们对假蜘蛛网问题的认识。故选A。
26. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词的前面“The Paws & Recover Facebook group posted a reminder about the dangers of synthetic webbing(Paws&Recover脸书群组发布了关于合成织带危险的提醒)”以及后面“due to the great harm it causes to precious wildlife(由于它对珍贵的野生动物造成了极大的危害)”可知，Paws&Recover脸书群组发布了关于合成织带危险的提醒，这引发了700多条评论，人们表达了他们对这种装饰的厌恶，因为它对珍贵的野生动物造成了极大的伤害。所以划线单词的意思为“憎恨”。故选C。
27. 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“But people were asked to stop using fake spider webs last year because they pose a huge danger to natural wildlife.(但去年人们被要求停止使用假蜘蛛网，因为它们对自然野生动物构成巨大危险)”以及最后一段“Wildlife experts have urged people to use larger, safer decorations that don’t endanger animals.(野生动物专家敦促人们使用更大、更安全的装饰品，以免危及动物)”可知，本文主要讲述了停止使用万圣节假蜘蛛网装饰的原因，因为这些装饰对野生动物构成威胁，并建议人们使用更大、更安全的装饰。因此“停止在万圣节使用假蜘蛛网”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the article
A. By describing a scientific research process. B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure. D. By presenting a common misconception.
29. What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about
A. The challenges faced by scientists. B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results. D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
30. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science
A. They are essential for scientific progress. B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods. D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
31. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了科学的真实面貌，驳斥了科学浪漫化的刻板印象，并强调科学是一个集体的、不完美的、多面的过程，其中科学家们针对复杂多样的问题提出多种且往往是部分的解决方案。健康的意见分歧是科学进步的重要组成部分，体现了科学的社会性和动态发展特性。
28. 推理判断题。由文章第一段“A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth. (一个穿着实验室大褂的男人在昏暗的灯光下弯着腰，紧盯着显微镜。时间很短，回报很高，只有这位科学家能拯救所有人。这种浪漫化的科学图景在很长一段时间内都是标准的。但事实远非如此。)”可知，作者通过呈现一个常见的误解引入这篇文章的主题。故选D。
29. 主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. (一些科学家寻找一些可观察到的影响的原因，例如森林破坏和地球温度升高之间的联系。其他人可能会调查事情的“是什么”而不是“为什么”。)”、第三段中“Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. (除了“是什么”和“为什么”之外，科学家可能会关注“如何”。)”可知，这两段主要讨论了科学家在研究中的不同关注点。故选D。
30. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it. (在科学界，健康的分歧是一种特征，而不是缺陷。科学是一个社会过程，在这个过程中，社会的监督确保我们拥有最好的可用知识。“现有的最佳”并不意味着“确定的”，而是在我们找到改进方法之前我们所拥有的最佳。)”可以推断，作者认为健康的意见分歧对于科学进步是必不可少的。故选A。
31. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day. (原子论的悠久历史表明，科学是一个过程，而不是一成不变的快速交付结果。科学家Jean Baptiste Perrin在1908年进行的实验似乎解决了所有关于原子的讨论，但随着量子物理学的诞生，有关原子性质的问题即将引发数十年的争议。类似的讨论一直持续到今天。)”可以推断，作者提及Jean Baptiste Perrin的实验和随后的争论是为了说明科学是一个动态的、不断发展的过程。故选C。
D
The danger of a major solar storm is now at its highest in over a decade. As the Sun reaches the peak of its activity cycle, the odds of such a storm hitting Earth rise along with its associated risks, including blackouts, disabled satellites and damaged cell phones and GPS networks. In the most extreme scenarios, some power grids could be knocked out for weeks or even months.
But that is the worst case. In the face of such potential disaster, our best hope is to learn more about the Sun-Earth system, monitor solar activity and develop our ability to predict space weather. With the right precautions, solar activity could be a net positive for humanity, as it constantly protects us against harmful radiation from beyond the Solar System So whether we risk the dangers or reap the benefits of living with the Sun will come down to the same thing: our ability to predict and prepare for what our star is going to do next.
The whole prediction process is like forecasting normal weather the more you understand the system, the better you can predict what it will do. This is no easy task when it comes to our star. The Sun is complex and not yet well understood, and scientists must also get a better handle on how its emissions travel through space and affect pared to forecasting the normal weather, our space weather predictions are about 50 years behind
That’s why missions like the Parker Solar Probe - the first spacecraft ever to touch the Sun-are all the more important. Launched in 2018, Parker has already made several discoveries about how the Sun transports energy outward into space. The spacecraft’s data have helped scientists improve their ability to predict exactly when an event at the Sun will later reach Earth. Establishing that timing is important, because it’s an essential first step to an early warning system that would help avoid the worst-case scenario.
Yet our current projects are not enough. Parker is not designed to act as a full-time warming system, and it can only study the Sun from one angle at a time. So a constellation of satellites around the Sun are recommended to completely monitor the Sun and always be ready to send warnings back to Earth.
32. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word!
A. Obtain. B. Eliminate. C. Strengthen. D. Tolerate.
33. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 2
A. The solar system releases a lot of harmful radiation to humanity.
B. People must learn more to reverse the worst result caused by the Sun.
C. Solar activities, if dealt with properly, can be very beneficial to humanity.
D. The potential disaster can be fully prevented if we make accurate prediction.
34. What is the main message conveyed in the passage
A. Improving space weather predictions is crucial for preparedness.
B. The Sun’s energy transport mechanisms have been fully understood.
C. The frequency of solar storms has significantly increased over the past decade.
D. A full-time warning system is the only solution to preventing solar storm impacts.
35. What will the following paragraphs probably talk about
A. The sunny sides of space weather and solar activities.
B. The drawback of the current solar prediction projects.
C. The ways to protect the Earth from potential solar storms.
D. The measures to improve and redesign the Parker Solar Probe.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D
【导语】本文是说明文。目前，太阳风暴的危险程度已超过十年来最高水平。随着太阳活动周期达到峰值，此类风暴袭击地球的可能性随之上升，并带来一系列风险，包括停电、失灵卫星和受损手机及GPS网络。在最极端的情况下，一些电网可能被中断数周甚至数月。但如果处理得当，太阳活动可以对人类非常有益。
32. 词句猜测题。根据第二段“With the right precautions, solar activity could be a net positive for humanity, as it constantly protects us against harmful radiation from beyond the Solar System So whether we risk the dangers or reap the benefits of living with the Sun will come down to the same thing: our ability to predict and prepare for what our star is going to do next. (只要采取适当的预防措施，太阳活动就可以为人类带来正面影响，因为它能不断保护我们免受来自太阳系外的有害辐射。因此，我们是选择冒险面对太阳带来的危险还是reap与太阳共存带来的好处，取决于我们预测和准备的能力，以应对我们的恒星接下来可能发生的事情。)”可知，此处建议利用太阳活动的正面影响保护我们，or提示后面是和冒险相反的词，reap指“得到”，近义词是obtain，故选A。
33. 细节理解题。根据第二段“But that is the worst case. In the face of such potential disaster, our best hope is to learn more about the Sun-Earth system, monitor solar activity and develop our ability to predict space weather. With the right precautions, solar activity could be a net positive for humanity, as it constantly protects us against harmful radiation from beyond the Solar System So whether we risk the dangers or reap the benefits of living with the Sun will come down to the same thing: our ability to predict and prepare for what our star is going to do next. (但那只是最坏的情况。面对这种潜在的灾难，我们最好的希望就是更多地了解太阳-地球系统，监测太阳活动，并提高预测空间天气的能力。只要采取适当的预防措施，太阳活动就可以为人类带来正面影响，因为它能不断保护我们免受来自太阳系外的有害辐射。因此，我们是选择冒险面对太阳带来的危险还是享受与太阳共存带来的好处，取决于我们预测和准备的能力，以应对我们的恒星接下来可能发生的事情。)”可知，第二段提到太阳活动，如果处理得当，可以对人类非常有益。故选C。
34. 推理判断题。根据第二段“But that is the worst case. In the face of such potential disaster, our best hope is to learn more about the Sun-Earth system, monitor solar activity and develop our ability to predict space weather. With the right precautions, solar activity could be a net positive for humanity, as it constantly protects us against harmful radiation from beyond the Solar System So whether we risk the dangers or reap the benefits of living with the Sun will come down to the same thing: our ability to predict and prepare for what our star is going to do next.

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。
Pessimists typically have a doubtful outlook—they may focus heavily on what can go wrong. As a consequence, they may be genuinely surprised when things work out, or question the positive outcomes. Because pessimists always expect the worst things to happen, they tend to have lower well-being. 36
It might be hard to shake off pessimism, and it is OK to be a little pessimistic. After all, a healthy amount of pessimism can help us prepare for challenges. However, if you want to overcome excessive pessimism, here are a few strategies that can work.
Exploit positive expressions. 37 Try writing down a few simple positive affirmations somewhere within your reach and repeat them often, such as “Today will be a productive day.” and “I am capable of doing great things.”
Exercise gratitude. Pessimists tend to hold on to unfavorable experiences. 38 And when you recite your affirmations, also tell yourself something that you are thankful for.
Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is being present without judgments. Thus, you avoid attaching a negative label to everything when you practice mindfulness and see things in a realistic light.
39 If you catch yourself expecting negative outcomes, try to change your mindset. For instance, if you tell yourself, “I don’t want to go to this party because I won’t enjoy it,” try saying, “I may or may not enjoy the party, but I won’t know if I don’t go.”
Do what you can, and hope for the best. You may still expect the worst. 40 If you put in enough effort and are prepared for the worst, great things do indeed happen.
Pessimism can ruin the joys, but it isn’t always bad, as long as it is balanced with a healthy dose of optimism. Yet, if you are overly pessimistic, you may start experiencing anxiety and show symptoms of depression. Luckily, pessimism is something we can overcome.
A. Reframe your thoughts.
B. Develop a critical mindset.
C. But terrible things are actually rare.
D. It’s important to forgive ourselves for our shortcomings.
E. To keep pessimism at bay, repeat positive statements to yourself.
F. Try to call up good things in the past and everything you appreciate.
G. Also, they usually focus on their weaknesses and thus lack confidence.
【答案】36. G 37. E 38. F 39. A 40. C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了悲观主义者的特点、影响以及如何克服过度悲观情绪的策略，对悲观情绪进行了深入的分析和探讨。
36. 根据空前“Because pessimists always expect the worst things to happen, they tend to have lower well-being. (因为悲观主义者总是期待最坏的事情发生，所以他们的幸福感往往较低。)”可知，上文提到了悲观主义者。而第二段“It might be hard to shake off pessimism, and it is OK to be a little pessimistic.(要摆脱悲观情绪可能很难，而且有点悲观也是正常的。)”则形成转折，，介绍即使难以摆脱悲观情绪，有点悲观也是正常的。由此可推测，空处介绍了悲观主义者的特点。选项G“Also, they usually focus on their weaknesses and thus lack confidence.(此外，他们通常关注自己的弱点，因此缺乏自信。)”符合语境，既承接了前文提到的悲观主义者的特点，也与后文提到的悲观情绪可以被接受和适量悲观的好处形成了对比。故选G。
37. 根据段首句“Exploit positive expressions.(利用积极的表达)”以及空后“Try writing down a few simple positive affirmations somewhere within your reach and repeat them often.(试着在你触手可及的地方写下一些简单的积极肯定语，并经常重复它们。)”可判断，空处和积极的表达相关。选项E“To keep pessimism at bay, repeat positive statements to yourself.(为了抵御悲观情绪，对自己重复积极的陈述。)”符合语境，且其中的“repeat positive statements to yourself”与段落中的“repeat them often”相呼应。故选E。
38. 根据空前“Pessimists tend to hold on to unfavorable experiences.(悲观主义者往往执着于不愉快的经历。)”以及空后“And when you recite your affirmations, also tell yourself something that you are thankful for.(当你背诵你的肯定语时，也要告诉自己一些你感激的事情。)”可推测，空处和感恩有关。选项F“Try to call up good things in the past and everything you appreciate.(试着回想过去的好事和你所感激的一切。)”中的“good things in the past”与后文中的“something that you are thankful for”相呼应。”故选F。
39. 空处为本段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“If you catch yourself expecting negative outcomes, try to change your mindset. For instance, if you tell yourself, “I don’t want to go to this party because I won’t enjoy it,” try saying, “I may or may not enjoy the party, but I won’t know if I don’t go.”(如果你发现自己预期会有不好的结果，试着改变你的心态。例如，如果你告诉自己，“我不想去参加这个聚会，因为我不会享受它，”试着说，“我可能会也可能不会享受这个聚会，但如果我不去，我就不会知道。”)”可知，本段讲述的是通过改变思维方式来对抗悲观情绪。选项A“Reframe your thoughts.(重塑你的想法)”概括了本段主题。故选A。
40. 根据空前“You may still expect the worst.(你可能仍然预期最坏的结果。)”以及空后“If you put in enough effort and are prepared for the worst, great things do indeed happen.(如果你付出足够的努力并做好最坏的打算，好事确实会发生。)”可知，本段是在鼓励人们即使预期最坏的结果，也要尽力而为。选项C“But terrible things are actually rare.(但可怕的事情实际上很少发生。)”符合语境，既承接了前文提到的预期最坏的结果，也与后文提到的做好最坏的打算但好事仍会发生形成了对比，起到了承上启下的作用。故选C。

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Tom could communicate well with other people through the computer or even on the phone, but when it came to making public presentations, he was hopeless. He was aware that people at conferences would count up the times he said such things as “what I really meant to say was” when he got nervous.
Tom was an expert in Reality Robotics Company. His boss had asked him to do something that he was absolutely scared about. The next month he would be presenting on behalf of his company, and there would be a lot of people, and his boss, who had never attended Tom’s presentations, wanted to impress the audience with the innovative work that the company was doing. Tom knew his boss’s respect for him would plummet (坠落) if he said that he could not do it. So, he worked like crazy on the task.
One day, he felt a great need to relax. He turned on the TV. He laughed, and smiled through the first show, making him feel a little better. But it was the second show that really got to him, where the ventriloquist (腹语术表演者) Arthur worked with his dummy (假人). This really provided him with an inspiration for how he was going to make his much-feared presentation a success.
The next day, he organized a meeting of the people that had the skills he needed, and, of course, his boss. When he explained what he wanted to do, he could sense that everyone was with him on this plan. But a lot of work had to be done for the object of the plan to be completed.
It was the day of the presentation. Tom was somewhat nervous, but nowhere near to the extent that he usually was for just such a situation. And they had to get to their destination early, for what needed to be done had to be completed before the audience knew what was going on.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible version:
The much-anticipated presentation started. The audience quieted, their curiosity piqued by the unusual setup. A figure draped in shadows appeared, capturing everyone’s attention. Tom, from behind the scenes, controlled the robot, delivering the presentation through it. The audience was spellbound, marveling at the technology that made it seem as if the robot itself was talking with passion about the company’s latest innovations in robotics. At the end of the speech, the presenter said, “To conclude today’s presentation, we’ll invite a mysterious guest here. You can never guess who he is!”
Tom walked onto the stage, looking exactly the same as the presenter. The crowd erupted into applause, both for the technological prowess demonstrated and for the clever way Tom had overcome his personal challenge. He stood beside the robot, confidently concluding the presentation with a Q&A session. Tom’s boss watched from the audience, a broad smile spreading across his face. The event was a mayor success, not only for the company’s public image but also for Tom, who had found a creative solution to his greatest fear.

Every year during Halloween, it’s likely homes around the neighborhood will put up some spider webs as their spooky (恐怖的) decorations. But people were asked to stop using fake spider webs last year because they pose a huge danger to natural wildlife.
The fake webbing is considered a danger to birds, bats and other small animals as they are often attracted to the decoration and get caught, resulting in injuries or sometimes even death. What’s more, when blown around by the wind, fake Halloween spider webs often end up in public spaces like parks and beaches, attracting wildlife. Since they are not biodegradable (可生物降解的), they can linger for months or even years, posing a continuous threat to the environment and animals.
Last year, government authorities actively used social media to warn about the dangers posed by popular Halloween decorations. One post advised: “Please avoid using fake spider webs when decorating your home. They can be very harmful to wildlife, especially birds, which often mistake spider silk for building their nests and cannot distinguish between real and synthetic webbing. This can lead to birds and their young becoming entangled, along with bats, insects and other wildlife.”
The Paws & Recover Facebook group posted a reminder about the dangers of synthetic webbing, generating over 700 comments from people expressing how much they loathe the decoration due to the great harm it causes to precious wildlife.
Wildlife experts have urged people to use larger, safer decorations that don’t endanger passionate individuals have also shared advice online. “Here I am, ready to spoil your Halloween decorating fun! PLEASE DO NOT USE FAKE SPIDER WEBS OUTSIDE,” a woman cautioned, sharing her photos. Another suggested, “If you’re looking for decorating ideas, consider reusing or repurposing items you already own.”
24. What is the problem with fake spider webs
A. They are not visually appealing. B. They break down easily.
C. They pose a risk to wildlife. D. They are difficult to clean up.
25. Why did local officials share posts on social media
A. To raise people’s awareness of fake webbing issues.
B. To warn people about the danger of Halloween decorations.
C. To respond to people’s concerns on environment.
D. To promote bird protection practices.
26. What does the underlined word “loathe” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Ignore. B. Choose. C. Hate. D. Frighten.
27. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this text

A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the article
A. By describing a scientific research process. B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure. D. By presenting a common misconception.

31. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.
D
The danger of a major solar storm is now at its highest in over a decade. As the Sun reaches the peak of its activity cycle, the odds of such a storm hitting Earth rise along with its associated risks, including blackouts, disabled satellites and damaged cell phones and GPS networks. In the most extreme scenarios, some power grids could be knocked out for weeks or even months.
But that is the worst case. In the face of such potential disaster, our best hope is to learn more about the Sun-Earth system, monitor solar activity and develop our ability to predict space weather. With the right precautions, solar activity could be a net positive for humanity, as it constantly protects us against harmful radiation from beyond the Solar System So whether we risk the dangers or reap the benefits of living with the Sun will come down to the same thing: our ability to predict and prepare for what our star is going to do next.
The whole prediction process is like forecasting normal weather the more you understand the system, the better you can predict what it will do. This is no easy task when it comes to our star. The Sun is complex and not yet well understood, and scientists must also get a better handle on how its emissions travel through space and affect pared to forecasting the normal weather, our space weather predictions are about 50 years behind
That’s why missions like the Parker Solar Probe - the first spacecraft ever to touch the Sun-are all the more important. Launched in 2018, Parker has already made several discoveries about how the Sun transports energy outward into space. The spacecraft’s data have helped scientists improve their ability to predict exactly when an event at the Sun will later reach Earth. Establishing that timing is important, because it’s an essential first step to an early warning system that would help avoid the worst-case scenario.
Yet our current projects are not enough. Parker is not designed to act as a full-time warming system, and it can only study the Sun from one angle at a time. So a constellation of satellites around the Sun are recommended to completely monitor the Sun and always be ready to send warnings back to Earth.
32. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word!
A. Obtain. B. Eliminate. C. Strengthen. D. Tolerate.
33. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 2
A. The solar system releases a lot of harmful radiation to humanity.
B. People must learn more to reverse the worst result caused by the Sun.
C. Solar activities, if dealt with properly, can be very beneficial to humanity.
D. The potential disaster can be fully prevented if we make accurate prediction.
34. What is the main message conveyed in the passage
A. Improving space weather predictions is crucial for preparedness.
B. The Sun’s energy transport mechanisms have been fully understood.
C. The frequency of solar storms has significantly increased over the past decade.
D. A full-time warning system is the only solution to preventing solar storm impacts.
35. What will the following paragraphs probably talk about
A. The sunny sides of space weather and solar activities.
B. The drawback of the current solar prediction projects.
C. The ways to protect the Earth from potential solar storms.
D. The measures to improve and redesign the Parker Solar Probe.

Pessimists typically have a doubtful outlook—they may focus heavily on what can go wrong. As a consequence, they may be genuinely surprised when things work out, or question the positive outcomes. Because pessimists always expect the worst things to happen, they tend to have lower well-being. 36
It might be hard to shake off pessimism, and it is OK to be a little pessimistic. After all, a healthy amount of pessimism can help us prepare for challenges. However, if you want to overcome excessive pessimism, here are a few strategies that can work.
Exploit positive expressions. 37 Try writing down a few simple positive affirmations somewhere within your reach and repeat them often, such as “Today will be a productive day.” and “I am capable of doing great things.”
Exercise gratitude. Pessimists tend to hold on to unfavorable experiences. 38 And when you recite your affirmations, also tell yourself something that you are thankful for.
Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is being present without judgments. Thus, you avoid attaching a negative label to everything when you practice mindfulness and see things in a realistic light.
39 If you catch yourself expecting negative outcomes, try to change your mindset. For instance, if you tell yourself, “I don’t want to go to this party because I won’t enjoy it,” try saying, “I may or may not enjoy the party, but I won’t know if I don’t go.”
Do what you can, and hope for the best. You may still expect the worst. 40 If you put in enough effort and are prepared for the worst, great things do indeed happen.
Pessimism can ruin the joys, but it isn’t always bad, as long as it is balanced with a healthy dose of optimism. Yet, if you are overly pessimistic, you may start experiencing anxiety and show symptoms of depression. Luckily, pessimism is something we can overcome.
A. Reframe your thoughts.
B. Develop a critical mindset.
C. But terrible things are actually rare.
D. It’s important to forgive ourselves for our shortcomings.
E. To keep pessimism at bay, repeat positive statements to yourself.
F. Try to call up good things in the past and everything you appreciate.
G. Also, they usually focus on their weaknesses and thus lack confidence.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Tom could communicate well with other people through the computer or even on the phone, but when it came to making public presentations, he was hopeless. He was aware that people at conferences would count up the times he said such things as “what I really meant to say was” when he got nervous.
Tom was an expert in Reality Robotics Company. His boss had asked him to do something that he was absolutely scared about. The next month he would be presenting on behalf of his company, and there would be a lot of people, and his boss, who had never attended Tom’s presentations, wanted to impress the audience with the innovative work that the company was doing. Tom knew his boss’s respect for him would plummet (坠落) if he said that he could not do it. So, he worked like crazy on the task.
One day, he felt a great need to relax. He turned on the TV. He laughed, and smiled through the first show, making him feel a little better. But it was the second show that really got to him, where the ventriloquist (腹语术表演者) Arthur worked with his dummy (假人). This really provided him with an inspiration for how he was going to make his much-feared presentation a success.
The next day, he organized a meeting of the people that had the skills he needed, and, of course, his boss. When he explained what he wanted to do, he could sense that everyone was with him on this plan. But a lot of work had to be done for the object of the plan to be completed.
It was the day of the presentation. Tom was somewhat nervous, but nowhere near to the extent that he usually was for just such a situation. And they had to get to their destination early, for what needed to be done had to be completed before the audience knew what was going on.
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。
At long last, the presentation that everyone had been eagerly awaiting started. _________________________
