第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
◇ Continental Breakfast
◇ Breakfast and Dinner
◇ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
SelfCatering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.
21. The passage is probably written for ______.
A. hosts willing to receive foreign students
B. foreigners hoping to build British culture
C. travelers planning to visit families in London
D. English learners applying to live in English homes
22. Which of the following will the host provide
A. Room cleaning. B. Medical care.
C. Free transport. D. Physical training.
23. According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include
A. Dessert and coffee. B. Fruit and vegetables.
C. Bread and fruit juice. D. Cereal and cold meat.
B
The story of the Forest of Immortal Stories begins in 2019, when Cojocaru lost his wife to cancer. Cojocaru suffered constant depression; as a solution, his doctor told him to walk in the countryside, 6,000 or more steps a day.
Cojocaru had grown up in Nucsoara, but only as he walked the hills did he notice the trees: giant beeches (山毛榉), some as old as 500 years. Their beauty and strength revived him, and he felt as if they had adopted him.
Indeed, generations of villagers gathered firewood from the trees, trimming (修剪) the branches. Where the trees were trimmed, new shoots appeared, branched, grew and were trimmed again, year after year for centuries. The practice allowed the trees to continue bearing nuts, which the villagers fed to their pigs to fatten them up. “The power of these trees is mindblowing,” said Cojocaru. 5,000 beeches still grow around Nucsoara, the highest concentration in Europe. But logging and changing uses of the land pose a threat. Bark beetles (蠹虫) are moving in, too.
Together with a conservation organization, Cojocaru began the plan to protect the beeches and draw ecotourism to Nucsoara. 2,544 trees were identified and each was given a number plate, photographed through the seasons and marked on a digital map. The trees are offered for adoption on a website—although as Cojocaru insists, the tree adopts the person, not the other way around.
So began the project—the Forest of Immortal Stories. For a modest fee, people can attach their own stories to a tree. When visited in person, the tree reads the narrative back through a QR code. For example, No.44 is Ana Branza, a Romanian fencing champion who won her first national title at age 15. No. 2,544 is Cojocaru. “I learn from them. I get a sense that they are old men who are very wise and want me to do good.” Cojocaru said of the trees.
24. Cojocaru’s walk in the beech forest can be described as ______.
A. demanding B. healing C. adventurous D. romantic
25. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Beeches are posing a threat to the land.
B. Beeches are at risk of extinction in Europe.
C. The villagers benefited from the beeches a lot.
D. The villagers kept the beeches under protection.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Efforts made to preserve the beeches.
B. Introduction to a conservation organization.
C. The development of ecotourism in Nucsoara.
D. Advanced technologies used to protect the beeches.
27. What can people do in the Forest of Immortal Stories
A. Identify more beeches.
B. Donate a modest sum of money.
C. Plant beeches and track their growth.
D. Adopt a beech and attach their own stories to it.
C
In life, there are times when we lose our way, both literally (字面上地) and figuratively(比喻意义上地). We might get lost walking in the woods or sailing at sea, which are examples of being literally lost. We could also lose our way while on our career path, which is an example of being figuratively lost. If you are physically lost and do not have a compass, you could use the stars in the night sky to know which way to go, especially the North Star. The North Star can also help if you get lost figuratively.
Some people may say their North Star is something very important to them. It can include principles and guiding beliefs. It can give life meaning and direction. For some people, their North Star may be a religion. For others, it might be a purpose, like teaching people to read. Or a North Star can be a mix of important things.
There is a term that is linked to the North Star. A lodestar is also a star which is used to find one’s way. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary explains that both meanings of “lodestar” date back to the1300s. The English poet Geoffrey Chaucer used both meanings of the word in his poems. However, by the 1600s, the literal meaning fell out of common use. After the term “lodestar” was used commonly, people used it in a figurative way meaning something or someone who guides them.
As the world changes around you and grows more complex, you can look to your North Star to help guide you. Your North Star can help keep you focused on the important things and stay on track. During a difficult or important time, many things can act as your North Star or lodestar. For example, when a woman went through a difficult time, her close friend was her lodestar and helped her surmount it.
28. How does the author bring out the topic
A. By asking some questions. B. By making a comparison.
C. By putting forward a problem. D. By stating natural phenomena.
29. What can we infer about the North Star from the second paragraph
A. It takes people off track. B. It stops people getting lost.
C. It varies from person to person. D. It shapes people’s mindset.
30. What happened to the term “lodestar” by the 1600s
A. The word was given new meanings.
B. People were confused by its meanings.
C. Many poems only used its literal meaning.
D. Its literal meaning was abandoned commonly.
31. What does the underlined word “surmount” in the last paragraph mean
A. Oppose. B. Overcome. C. Analyze. D. Combine.
D
The entire country struggled with the unprecedented heat of the July 2022 heatwave, but for the disabled, the heat hit even harder. The climate crisis is a threat to everyone’s health, but according to a report in 2021, people with disabilities are more vulnerable to the extreme weather events and natural disasters that result from the climate crisis.
Professor Kristie Ebi of the Centre for Health and the Global at the University of Washington, described the topic of heatwaves and disabled people as being an important issue. “Groups at higher risk during periods of high temperature include people with chronic(慢性的) medical conditions, people who take certain medications that can reduce the ability of the body to sweat, and the “disabled”, notes Ebi, going on to describe the different threats that heatwaves pose to different types of disabilities. Ebi notes the difficulty people with mobility issues or blindness may have with accessing services, such as cooling shelters, Ebi also comments on the importance of making messaging on the dangers of high temperatures accessible to those with learning disabilities or to deaf people, “Some studies suggest higher rates of suicide and other mental health issues during heatwaves, requiring targeted help for those with mental disabilities,” she added.
Ailsa Speak, a disability and lifestyle blogger, experiences uncontrollable movements in the heat due to her cerebral palsy (脑瘫) “As you can imagine, when my involuntary movements increase, I get even hotter. It’s just a painful circle really.
In the absence of a concrete set of plans for people with disabilities during the climate crisis and extreme weather events, people with disabilities continue to be at increased risk of heat-related disease.
To prevent future death and destruction, the Climate Change Committee CCC), an independent organization tackling climate change, advocates for adaptation planning, as the temperature is set to rise further due to the climate crisis and global warming. The CCC’s 2022 report on the health risks of overheating offers adaptation options to the government to ensure that buildings are fit for future climate change. Nevertheless, the publication does not offer specific advice about people with disabilities and overheating, which thus remains to be discussed promptly and thoroughly.
32. The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 1 possibly means
A. defensive B. delicate C. experienced D. adaptable
33. Which of the following would Professor Ebi most probably agree with
A. Heatwaves make people with chronic diseases suffer most.
B. The mentally disabled have no access to cooling shelter.
C. Some disabled people are ill-informed about the risks of heatwaves.
D. Mobility disability contributes to higher risk of suicide in the heatwaves.
34. Why does the author mention Ailsa Speak
A. To share a disabled blogger’s painful life.
B. To show what a terrible disease cerebral palsy is.
C. To illustrate the trouble the disabled have in the heat.
D. To prove the never-before-seen highs in temperature.
35. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to
A. stress the urgent need to care for the disabled in the heat
B. suggest methods of helping the disabled in heatwaves
C. tell readers how severe the July 2022 heatwave was
D. introduce adaptation alternatives for future buildings

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。
How to Prepare For a Long Distance Run
A long distance race will leave you sweaty, sore, and deeply satisfied. 36 . However, working your way up to that long run is a challenging process that requires both mental and physical preparation.
Identify your goal
37 Long distance runs span a range from a 3K (three kilometers) all the way up to a marathon (over 40 kilometers) or an ultra-marathon (over 60 kilometers). Think about your previous athletic experience and how hard you want to push yourself.
Figure out a training plan
You probably don’t want to wait, but it’s important to give your body time to adjust to long-distance running. Depending on your fitness level, it takes a new runner about 3 to 6months to prepare for a half marathon and about 6 to 12 months to prepare for a marathon. If you’re running a very long race, like a half or full marathon, make use of a professionally developed training plan. 38 , or you can turn to an experienced coach for advice.
39
This sounds surprising but is essential. You can’t keep a quick run for ten miles, so don’t try. Pace yourself——you can always build up speed later in your training. The most important thing right now is learning to cover a lot of ground.
Find a runner’s group
If you want to get feedback, motivation, and potential new friends, locate a runners group near you. They’re all over the place and they exist for all different levels and events. 40 .
A. Run slow
B. Make steps faster
C. You have the freedom to decide your distance
D. There are many plans available on the Internet
E. You can try Googling your area’s running groups
F. Arm yourself with hard work and you will make it
G. It’s difficult to meet the challenge without preparation

I applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating.
So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression Would I make a complete fool of myself
That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers. “It is not that hard,” she said. “That is easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It is natural for you!” I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day.
The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons.
I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. _____________________

21.D 22.A 23.C
【分析】本文属于应用文,寄宿家庭为英语语言专业的学生提供在课外说英语的机会以及作为英国家庭一份子的经历,短文介绍了英国的寄宿家庭的特点以及具体的信息。
21.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.”寄宿家庭为英语语言专业的学生提供在课外说英语的机会以及作为英国家庭一份子的经历。由此判断出,短文是写给申请住在英语家庭的英语学习者。故D正确。
22.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.”每周至少一次打扫房间和更换床罩,可知打扫房间是对方提供的服务之一。故A正确。
23.细节理解题。根据“Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee.”您的住宿包括欧式早餐,通常包括果汁、麦片、面包和茶或咖啡。可知面包和果汁是传统的英国早餐的内容。故C正确。
24.B 25.C 26.A 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了“不朽故事森林”项目是如何开始的。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“Cojocaru suffered constant depression; as a solution, his doctor told him to walk in the countryside, 6,000 or more steps a day.(Cojocaru一直患有抑郁症;为了解决这个问题,他的医生建议他去乡下散步,每天至少走6000步)”和第二段的句子“Their beauty and strength revived him, and he felt as if they had adopted him. (它们的美丽和力量使他恢复了活力,他觉得它们好像收养了他)”可知,Cojocaru在山毛榉林中的散步有治愈作用。故选B项。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Indeed, generations of villagers gathered firewood from the trees, trimming (修剪) the branches. Where the trees were trimmed, new shoots appeared, branched, grew and were trimmed again, year after year for centuries. The practice allowed the trees to continue bearing nuts, which the villagers fed to their pigs to fatten them up.(的确,一代又一代的村民从树上收集柴火,修剪树枝。树木被修剪的地方,新的嫩芽出现,分枝,生长,又被修剪,年复一年,几个世纪。这种做法可以让树继续结出坚果,村民们把坚果喂给他们的猪,让它们长得更肥)”可知,村民们从山毛榉中获益良多。故选C项。
26.主旨大意题。根据第四段的内容“Together with a conservation organization, Cojocaru began the plan to protect the beeches and draw ecotourism to Nucsoara. 2,544 trees were identified and each was given a number plate, photographed through the seasons and marked on a digital map. The trees are offered for adoption on a website — although as Cojocaru insists, the tree adopts the person, not the other way around.(Cojocaru与一个保护组织一起,开始了保护山毛榉的计划,并吸引生态旅游到Nucsoara。2544棵树被识别出来,每棵树都有一个车牌,按季节拍照,并在数字地图上做了标记。这些树是在一个网站上供人收养的——尽管Cojocaru坚持认为,是树收养人,而不是人收养树)”可知,该段主要是说Cojocaru与一个保护组织一起为保护山毛榉所做的努力。故选A项。
27.细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“So began the project — the Forest of Immortal Stories. For a modest fee, people can attach their own stories to a tree. When visited in person, the tree reads the narrative back through a QR code.(于是,“不朽故事森林”项目开始了。人们可以花很少的钱把自己的故事挂在树上。当人们亲自访问时,树会通过二维码读取故事)”可知,在不朽故事森林里人们能选择一棵山毛榉,并将自己的故事附着在上面。故选D项。
28.B 29.C 30.D 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“North Star(北极星)”和“lodestar(指路星)”在个人生活和导航中的比喻意义,以及它们如何帮助人们在生活和职业道路上找到方向和意义。
28.推理判断题。第一段中“In life, there are times when we lose our way, both literally and figuratively (比喻意义上地). We might get lost walking in the woods or sailing at sea, which are examples of being literally lost. We could also lose our way while on our career path, which is an example of being figuratively lost.”(在生活中,有时我们会迷路,这可以是字面意义也可以是比喻意义。我们可能会在树林里迷路或在海上迷路,这些都是字面意义上迷路的例子。我们也可能在职业道路上迷路,这是比喻意义上迷路的例子)作者先比较了在实际生活中迷路和在职业生涯中迷失方向这两种情况,接着“If you are physically lost and do not have a compass, you could use the stars in the night sky to know which way to go, especially the North Star. The North Star can also help if you get lost figuratively.”(如果你在实际中迷路了并且没有指南针,你可以利用夜空中的星星来确定方向,尤其是北极星。如果你在比喻意义上迷失了,北极星也能有所帮助)谈及北极星在帮助确定方向和在个人生活中的指引作用。由此推知,作者是通过比较来引出话题。故选B项。
29.推理判断题。根据第二段“Some people may say their North Star is something very important to them. It can include principles and guiding beliefs. It can give life meaning and direction. For some people, their North Star may be a religion. For others, it might be a purpose, like teaching people to read. Or a North Star can be a mix of important things.”(有些人可能会说他们的北极星对他们来说非常重要。它可以包括原则和指导思想。它可以赋予生命意义和方向。对一些人来说,他们的北极星可能是一种宗教。对另一些人来说,它可能是一个目的,比如教人们阅读。或者北极星可以是重要事物的混合体)可推知,不同的人对北极星的理解不同,它因人而异。故选C项。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, by the 1600s, the literal meaning fell out of common use.”(然而,到了17世纪,字面意义已不再常用)可知,到了17世纪,“lodestar”这个词的字面意义被普遍抛弃了。故选D项。
31.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“For example, when a woman went through a difficult time, her close friend was her lodestar and helped her surmount it.”(例如,当一个女人经历了一段困难时期,她的密友就是她的指路星,帮助她surmount它)中“through a difficult time”和“helped her”可推知,此处指密友会帮助她克服了困难。surmount与overcome意思相近,意为“克服”。故选B项。

The most important thing right now is learning to cover a lot of ground.(这听起来令人惊讶,但却是必要的。你不可能快速跑完十英里,所以别试了。调整自己的速度——你可以在之后的训练中提高速度。现在最重要的事情是学会多涉猎)”可知,后文提到在训练中再提高速度,且提到不可能快速跑完十英里,说明跑步的速度不宜过快。故A选项“慢跑”符合语境,故选A。
40.根据上文“If you want to get feedback, motivation, and potential new friends, locate a runners group near you. They’re all over the place and they exist for all different levels and events.(如果你想获得反馈、动力和潜在的新朋友,那就在你附近找一个跑步小组。它们无处不在,存在于所有不同的水平和活动中)”可知,本段主要建议寻找跑步团体,本句为本段最后一句,故就如何找到跑步团体提出建议。故E选项“你可以试着用谷歌搜索一下你所在地区的跑步团体”符合语境,故选E。

Seeing this fantastic man-made wonder, the foreign students couldn’t help speaking highly of the building techniques of ancient Chinese people.

第二节(满分25分)
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. As soon as they were brought in front me, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked over at my boss and we exchanged a smile. With determination, I grasped the chopsticks and attempted to pick up some rice and a piece of meat. However, my fingers slipped and the food fell back onto the plate. I was swamped with a sense of embarrassment due to my failed attempts. At that moment, I saw my boss giving me a reassuring nod, which motivated me to keep trying. I plucked up the courage and tried again, determined to master this skill. Through trial and error, I gradually got the hang of using chopsticks.
Paragraph 2:
In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I was glad that my new boss was so thoughtful that he could take everything into consideration. And I was really happy that I had decided to ask for chopsticks. After that, we often went out for lunch in that restaurant. Despite facing a number of challenges, I persevered in my attempts to use chopsticks. With the help of my friend and the patience of my boss, I was able to overcome my fear of using chopsticks and practice until I became proficient. It struck me that diversity is not about how we differ, but about embracing one another’s uniqueness.
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开,讲述了作者得到了温哥华一家加拿大华人公司的工作,并被新老板邀请共进午餐进行庆祝。作者担心自己不会用筷子,为此焦虑不安,还给朋友打电话请教了,但焦虑并未缓解,作者甚至整夜未眠。第二天午餐时,作者惊讶地发现餐桌上提供了刀叉而非筷子。原来,老板提前安排了刀叉,因为他知道作者用筷子有困难,不想让作者感到尴尬。作者对老板的善解人意深感感激。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我立刻下定决心,让服务员给我拿一双筷子来”可知,第一段可描写作者勇敢地使用筷子,遇到了一点挫折,但在老板的鼓励下继续尝试,逐渐掌握了技巧。
②由第二段首句内容“最后,我一点也不尴尬”可知,第二段可描写作者对自己真的用了筷子感到高兴,之后常去那家餐馆用餐,坚持使用筷子,最后能够熟练使用,以及从这次经历中作者意识到文化多样性的意义。
