After graduating from high school, Amelia Earhart spent a vacation in Toronto, Canada, where she spotted wounded soldiers returning from World War I. Then, she volunteered as a nurse’s aide, coming to know many wounded pilots. She developed a strong admiration for aviators, spending much of her free time watching the Royal Flying Corps practicing at the airfield nearby.
At a Long Beach air show, Earhart took a plane ride that transformed her life. It was only 10 minutes, but when she landed she knew she had to learn to fly. Working at a variety of jobs, from photographer to truck driver, she earned enough money to take flying lessons. She read everything she could find on flying and spent much of her time at the airfield. She cropped her hair short, in the style of other women aviators. Worried about what the other more experienced pilots might think of her, she even slept in her new leather jacket for three nights to give it a more “worn” look.
Soon, she rose her fame and became the 16th woman to be issued a pilot’s license by The Federation Aeronautique. One day, Earhart received a phone call, asking her, “Would you like to fly the Atlantic ” In a heartbeat, she said yes. She was selected to be the first woman on a transatlantic flight as a passenger.
On June 17, 1928, Earhart took off from Trepassey Harbor in a Fokker named Friendship. Accompanying her on the flight were three other male pilots. Approximately 20 hours and 40 minutes later, they touched down safely. Earhart later confessed that she felt she “was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes”. Then she added, “Maybe someday I’ll try it alone.”
24．What contributed to Earhart’s determination to be a pilot
A．Experiencing a ten-minute air ride.
B．Appreciating a Long Beach air show.
C．Volunteering as a nurse's aide during World War I.
D．Watching wounded soldiers returning from the war.
25．Why did Earhart sleep in her new leather jacket
A．She cared for it a lot. B．She tried to make it look old.
C．She worried others would take it away. D．She was too worn out to take it off.
26．The reason why Earhart felt like “baggage” was that ______.
A．she landed the plane safely
B．she was the only woman on the flight
C．she was not an active-enough participant
D．she was not given credit for her role in the flight
27．Which words can best describe Earhart
A．Adventurous and patient. B．Humble and persistent.
C．Determined and passionate. D．Diligent and unselfish.
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars (臼齿) located at the very back of the mouth. They are the last of the 32 permanent teeth to appear, emerging between 17 and 25 years of age, when you are older and wiser. You might know that not everyone grows all four wisdom teeth. You might also know many people get them pulled. We study teeth and find the reason has a lot to do with the distant past and a bit about the present day, too.
A few million years ago, early human ancestors had larger jaws and teeth than humans do today. Scientists think robust jaws and teeth were needed because the foods early human ancestors ate were much more difficult to chew than food today. Softer, easier-to-chew food means teeth have a less challenging job. Therefore, modern human jaws have evolved to be smaller and faces to be flatter than our extinct ancestors’ were. Given these changes, the third molars might not be as important now as they once were.
About 25% of people today are missing at least one wisdom tooth completely. Sometimes, due to lack of space, wisdom teeth can get stuck inside the jawbone and never fully come up- or they only partially emerge. An impacted wisdom tooth will never come up properly. And it happens more often in the lower jaw than in the upper jaw. In cases where wisdom teeth are only partially up, people can sometimes experience pain, tooth decay (龋齿) or gum infection, which is why they have them pulled.
But wisdom teeth don’t usually need to be removed if they are fully erupted in the mouth, positioned correctly and healthily. Dentists can examine your mouth to see if your wisdom teeth are present, or look at X-ray pictures of your jaw if these last molars haven’t yet emerged and you suspect they may be impacted. Dentists can also advise you if any treatment or removal is recommended for your wisdom teeth. In the meantime, brushing at least twice a day will help keep all your teeth healthy.
28．What is the function of the first paragraph
A．To explain some reasons. B．To illustrate a concept.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To raise a question.
29．What does the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Flexible. B．Demanding. C．Rigid. D．Powerful.
30．What can be inferred about wisdom teeth from the passage
A．Some people get them pulled for convenience.
B．Our face is bound to become smaller by removing them.
C．Impacted wisdom teeth should be removed as early as possible.
D．The transformation of diet structure gives rise to their degeneration.
31．What is the best title for the passage
A．Wisdom teeth: the ache source. B．Wisdom teeth: To Pull or Not
C．Why do wisdom teeth disappear D．What influence will wisdom teeth bring
Climate change, pollution and fast-paced life got you down Wish you could buy a ticket on the Europa Clipper spacecraft Before you decide to leave Earth behind, consider the life of an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS).
Two NASA astronauts have been living aboard the ISS since their departure from Earth on June 5. Their mission, originally meant to last around a week, will have gone on for over eight months. NASA’s accepted odds for loss of crew during the extended stay, or chances they two won’t make it back to Earth alive, are 1 in 270. Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies.
Living in microgravity causes bodily fluids to become more evenly distributed, with up to two extra liters of blood in the upper body, triggering constant feelings of puffiness (浮肿), especially in the head and face. Captain Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, describes the feeling, “It feels a little like standing on your head 24 hours a day.” The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate.
Discoveries made during NASA’s study found extended time in space also impacts telomeres (端粒). During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels.
If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth.
32．What can we know about the two astronauts from Paragraph 2
A．NASA has accepted the fact of losing them.
B．They postpone their missions to eight months later.
C．Staying in space has potential damage to their physical conditions.
D．The longer they stay in space, the lower chances they have of returning alive.
33．How do the bodily fluids affect astronauts living in microgravity
A．They make astronauts’ whole bodies puffy.
B．They greatly weaken astronauts’ urges to urinate.
C．They accumulate more in the upper body than the lower.
D．They cause astronauts to feel like standing 24 hours a day.
34．What can we learn from Captain Kelly
A．He was less likely to suffer age-related diseases.
B．He reminded us that living on Earth was comfortable.
C．Living in space had no significant impact on his overall health.
D．His telomeres lengthened first and then shortened after returning from space.
35．What does the author intend to imply according to this article
A．It is not worth exploring the solar system.
B．Travelling in space is an affordable journey.
C．It is possible to travel to space as a vacation.
D．Exploring the space takes devotion and sacrifice.

67．阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Forty or so years ago, Andreas was born in a little village in Northern Greece, Macedonia, a village where old stone buildings could tell stories of a thousand years past and where tradition stayed strong and religious festivities are upheld with the highest honor. Andreas’ parents gave it all to support his brother to go to a medical college, which made life difficult for this family. When other children in the village played with toys, the only “toys” Andreas had access to were his brother’s medical textbooks. His mother often sat by the flickering candlelight, telling stories of bravery and hope. His father worked tirelessly to support the family.
When I first met Andreas, it was Christmas day this year. For Andreas, a dedicated doctor, it was simply another day spent in a white-walled hospital. In the corner of Andreas’ office sat an evergreen tree decorated with ribbons and fairy lights. But for Andreas, just like last Christmas, he would rather not enjoy the Christmas lights. Instead, he was surrounded by flashes of red from arriving ambulances and beeping bedside monitors.
He shared with me his childhood hatred towards Santa Claus. “But, why did you hate Santa Was it because you knew he wasn’t real ” I asked Andreas. “No!” Andreas laughed out loud. “It was because Santa never brought me Christmas gifts! Santa brought the other children gifts, but nothing for me. Never. Nothing!” He threw his head back, and I couldn’t help but join the broken heart of the boy who hated Santa Claus.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With a hint of sadness, Andreas continued to explain, “During my childhood, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me gifts.”

W: OK. That should be fine. I have a friend coming round in the afternoon, but I’ll be at home. So the day after tomorrow will be great. Do I need to pay for the package
M: No, you don’t. You just need to sign the form to say you’ve received it.
W: See you the day after tomorrow then.
M: See you then.
【答案】18．C 19．A 20．A
【听力材料】
W: Well, now let me tell you what I've been doing in recent years. In 2015, I retired from my post as a designer for a furniture company. And since then, I’ve been working as a volunteer. In 2017, I joined Green Woodpecker — an organization that promotes environmental protection. At the beginning, I mostly worked in public squares near the west railway station, helping the traffic police and giving directions to passengers. Then my work focus changed. When our city adopted the new tobacco control rules in June, 2018, I began a new task: persuading people not to smoke in public places. In addition to the railway station, I have been going to places where there are many restaurants and bars. We work in groups of three, and try to stop people from smoking. Fortunately, most smokers are supportive and put out their cigarettes when we ask them to, but that was not the case in the early days — some smokers could become quite violent. I like being a volunteer. The work is exciting and makes me feel young. It has now become a part of my life.

【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三个各具特色的好莱坞巴士观光之旅路线计划。
【解析】21．细节理解题。根据A Taste of L.A.标题下的段落最后一句“What a great mix of time spent sightseeing on the tour bus, and exploring on your own! (在旅游巴士上观光和自己探索的时间真是太棒了！)”可知，游客可以在这条路线上欣赏景色并且自由探索。故选D项。
22．细节理解题。根据Private L.A. Tours标题下“Our private tours are great for small, medium, and large groups that come together for personal or professional experiences. (我们的私人旅游非常适合小型，中型和大型团体，他们聚集在一起进行个人或专业体验)”可知，这是为不同规模大小的团体量身定制的一条旅游线路。故选B项。
23．推理判断题。根据标题“Hollywood Bus Tours: Experience Los Angeles with Your Local Sightseeing Experts! (好莱坞巴士之旅：与您当地的观光专家一起体验洛杉矶！)”可知，这篇文章最有可能来自于一本旅游杂志。故选A项。
【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．C
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了女飞行员Amelia Earhart的成长故事。
【解析】24．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It was only 10 minutes, but when she landed she knew she had to learn to fly. (虽然只有10分钟，但当她降落时，她知道她必须学会飞行。)”可知，她决心学习飞行的原因是她亲身体验了十分钟的飞行。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第一句“she even slept in her new leather jacket for three nights to give it a more ‘worn’ look. (她甚至穿着新皮夹克睡了三个晚上，让它看起来更‘破旧’。)”可知，她穿着新的飞行皮夹克睡觉是为了让衣服看起来更旧一些。故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“Earhart later confessed that she felt she ‘was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes’ Then she added, ‘Maybe someday I’ll try it alone.’ (Earhart后来承认，她觉得自己‘只是个行李，就像一袋土豆’。然后她补充道，‘也许有一天我会独自尝试。’)”可知，在此次飞行当中，她认为自己发挥的作用并不大。故选C项。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“It was only 10 minutes, but when she landed she knew she had to learn to fly. (仅仅 10 分钟，但当她着陆时，她知道自己必须学会飞行。)” 以及最后一段第四句“Earhart later confessed that she felt she ‘was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes’. Then she added, ‘Maybe someday I’ll try it alone.’ (Earhart后来承认，她觉得自己‘就像行李，像一袋土豆’。然后她又说，‘也许有一天我会独自尝试。’)”以及上下文可知，Amelia Earhart经历10分钟飞行后就下定决心学飞行，做各种工作赚钱学飞行，以及在作为乘客完成跨大西洋飞行后还想独自尝试，可看出她对飞行充满决心和热情。故选C项。
【答案】28．C 29．D 30．D 31．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了智齿的产生和变化以及智齿给生活带来的影响。
【解析】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars (臼齿) located at the very back of the mouth. They are the last of the 32 permanent teeth to appear, emerging between 17 and 25 years of age, when you are older and wiser. You might know that not everyone grows all four wisdom teeth. You might also know many people get them pulled. We study teeth and find the reason has a lot to do with the distant past and a bit about the present day, too.(智齿是位于口腔最后面的第三组臼齿。它们是32颗恒牙中最后长出来的，在17岁到25岁之间长出来，这时你长大了，也更聪明了。你可能知道并不是每个人都会长出四颗智齿。你可能也知道很多人都把他们拔掉了。我们研究牙齿，发现原因与遥远的过去有很大关系，也和现在有一点关系)”可知，第一段是为了引出文章关于智齿的主题，故选C。
29．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“because the foods early human ancestors ate were much more difficult to chew than food today(因为早期人类祖先吃的食物比今天的食物更难咀嚼)”可知，早期人类祖先吃的食物比今天的食物更难咀嚼，所以人类需要强健的下颚和牙齿，故划线词意思是“强健的”。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第二段“Softer, easier-to-chew food means teeth have a less challenging job. Therefore, modern human jaws have evolved to be smaller and faces to be flatter than our extinct ancestors’ were.(更柔软、更容易咀嚼的食物意味着牙齿的工作难度更小。因此，现代人类的下颚比我们已灭绝的祖先进化得更小，脸更平)”可知，饮食结构的转变导致了智齿的退化，故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But wisdom teeth don’t usually need to be removed if they are fully erupted in the mouth, positioned correctly and healthily. Dentists can examine your mouth to see if your wisdom teeth are present, or look at X-ray pictures of your jaw if these last molars haven’t yet emerged and you suspect they may be impacted. Dentists can also advise you if any treatment or removal is recommended for your wisdom teeth.(但如果智齿在口腔中完全生长，位置正确且健康，通常不需要拔除。牙医可以检查你的口腔，看看你的智齿是否存在，或者看看你下巴的X光照片，如果这些最后的臼齿还没有出现，你怀疑它们可能受到了影响。牙医也可以告诉你是否有任何治疗或拔除智齿的建议)”以及文章介绍了智齿的产生和变化以及智齿给生活带来的影响。故B选项“智齿：拔还是不拔？”最符合文章标题。故选B。
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍微重力环境对于宇航员的身体的影响。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies. (虽然他们在执行任务时死亡的几率相对较低，但他们在太空长期停留的影响可能会对他们的身体产生影响。)”可知，长时间留在太空有可能对宇航员的身体状况有潜在的损害。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate. (液体在太空中重新分配自己的方式也会导致尿液漂浮在膀胱两侧，这可能会使宇航员在膀胱完全充满之前感觉不到小便的需要，从而导致意外的、自发的小便需要。)”可知，体液会削弱生活在微重力环境中的宇航员的尿意。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels. (在近一年的太空生活中，Captain Kelly的端粒实际上变长了，这通常是患与年龄有关疾病的几率较低的一个指标。然而，在返回地球后的几个月里，他的端粒长度被发现比他飞行前的水平短得多。)”可知，从太空回来后，Captain Kelly的端粒先是变长，然后又变短。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth.(如果你打算去太空旅行作为你的下一个豪华假期，准备在一个全新的环境中遇到更多严重的健康后果。对于像Captain Kelly这样的宇航员来说，太空对身体的影响是探索太阳系的一个小代价。对于我们这些还没有去过太空的人来说，生活在微重力下引起的健康问题可以提醒我们地球上的生活是多么舒适。)”可知，作者想暗示探索太空需要奉献和牺牲。故选D项。
【答案】36．D 37．A 38．F 39．E 40．G
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍什么样的人可以称作是极客，以及他们有哪些特征。

37．下文“One thing that could potentially distinguish geeks is their undying commitment to the things they love. (极客的一个潜在区别是他们对自己热爱的事物的永恒承诺)”说明极客对自己热爱的事物极其忠诚，选项A“你对你所热爱的东西非常忠诚吗？”概括本段大意，符合题意。故选A项。
38．上文“Geeks only seek the company of those who exhibit the same enthusiasm as they do. (极客只寻求和他们有同样热情的人作伴)”说明极客只和那些与自己表现出同样热情的人为伴，选项F“在接受他人为同类方面，他们很严厉。”承接上文，进一步说明极客对接纳他人为同类是很严苛的。故选F项。
39．上文“You can’t pretend to be a geek. (你不能假装是个极客)”说明极客是不能假装的，选项E“你需要向他们展示你和他们站在同一个角度思考问题。”承接上文，说明你必须展示真实的自我，符合题意。故选E项。
40．下文“Being a fan of a specific thing is one thing, while sticking to it no matter what happens is another. A real geek is totally into it, intellectually and emotionally. This idea explains why geeks will stay loyal to their obsession till the end. (成为一个特定事物的粉丝是一回事，而无论发生什么都坚持是另一回事。一个真正的极客会在智力和情感上完全投入其中。这个想法解释了为什么极客们会一直忠于他们的痴迷直到最后)”说明极客会将热爱的事情坚持到底，不会只对某一学科有所了解，选项G“如果一个人只对某一学科有所了解，他/她就不是极客。”引领下文，符合题意。故选G项。

【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了从2024年七月份起我国开始实施的144小时过境免签政策。
【解析】56．考查非限制性定语从句引导词。句意：这项政策以前仅适用于云南省昆明市，现在已扩大到包括丽江、普洱和其他七个城市。“ 56 previously applied only to Kunming City in Yunnan Province”为之前名词“this policy”的非限制性定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词“which”作引导词。故填which。
57．考查时态语态。句意：此外，最近在适用144小时免签证过境政策的入境口岸名单中增加了三个新的入境口岸。所填动词作句子的谓语动词。根据后面的“recently”可知此处要用到现在完成时，而主语“ports”是复数，与“add”之间是被动关系，应是现在完成时被动结构：have been done。故填have been added。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：来自54个国家的公民可以在没有签证的情况下过境到另一个国家，停留时间不超过144小时。此处是非谓语动词作状语，其逻辑主语“citizens”和“hold”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式，放在句首，首字母要大写。故填Holding。
59．考查不定冠词。句意：来自54个国家的公民可以在没有签证的情况下过境到另一个国家，停留时间不超过144小时。结合语境和句意可知，这里的主语“citizens”指的是已经到过中国的外国人，因此，此处的“ 57 third country”表另一个国家，无特指，用“不定冠词+序数词+名词单数”结构表达，意为“又一，再一”。 third发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
60．考查介词。句意：在逗留期间，他们可以参加短期活动，如旅游、探访和家庭团聚。此处是短语“engage in”，表“参与”这一含义。故填in。
61．考查形容词。句意：自144小时过境免签政策实施以来，它为服务中国高水平对外开放、便利中外人员往来、促进国际合作发挥了重要作用。这里为形容词修饰名词“role”。“significance”，名词，意为“重要性，意义”，其形容词形式为“significant(重要的)”。故填significant。
62．考查从属连词。句意：自144小时过境免签政策实施以来，它为服务中国高水平对外开放、便利中外人员往来、促进国际合作发挥了重要作用。“ 58 it was implemented”为时间状语从句，结合主句时态“have played”为现在完成时，这里应是用“since”作从属连词，表“自从……以来”，之后接一般过去时句子。故填since。
63．考查名词。句意：144小时免签证过境政策的扩大为前往中国旅游和商务的外国公民提供了更多选择。分析句子结构可知，空前是冠词，空后是介词，因此，空处应填名词。“expand”，动词，意为“扩大，增加”，其名词形式为“expansion(扩大，扩张)”，为不可数名词。故填expansion。
64．考查副词比较级。句意：展望未来，国家移民局将继续完善免签证过境政策，进一步推进移民管理体制改革开放，全力推动高水平开放和高质量发展。用副词作状语，修饰动词“advanced”，且结合句意和语境可知，这里表示“进一步促进”，应是用far的比较级“further(进一步)”。故填further。
65．考查固定搭配。句意：展望未来，国家移民局将继续完善免签证过境政策，进一步推进移民管理体制改革开放，全力推动高水平开放和高质量发展。固定搭配make every effort to do尽一切努力做某事。故填to promote。

67．【答案】One possible version:
With a hint of sadness, Andreas continued to explain, “During my childhood, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me gifts.” I felt deep sympathy for Andreas as I imagined what it was like for him to watch all the other kids open their Christmas gifts. But his eyes softened as he recounted the memories of his childhood, “My parents gave me the greatest gift of all — love and perseverance.” A gentle smile played on his lips, reflecting a deep sense of gratitude and contentment. In the years without Christmas gifts, he passed the time reading his brother’s medical textbooks.
His appetite for reading and the example his brother set inspired him to study hard and become a doctor. Andreas excelled in his studies, fueled by the desire to change his fate. He pored over his brother’s medical textbooks, dreaming of one day wearing the white coat of a doctor. Now, Andreas is a senior surgeon, working tirelessly in the hospital. His busy figure embodies a firm belief that the greatest joy doesn’t come from receiving but from giving — saving lives, easing pain and bringing hope to those in despair.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四十年前，Andreas出生在希腊北部小村庄，家庭因供他哥哥上医学院而生活艰难。他儿时只能把哥哥的医学教科书作为“玩具”，而母亲常讲励志故事，父亲辛苦养家。今年圣诞节，身为医生的Andreas在医院值班。他向作者回忆起小时候讨厌圣诞老人，因为从未收到过圣诞礼物，当时父母买不起。但Andreas表示，父母给了他爱与毅力。儿时阅读医学教科书的经历，加上哥哥的榜样作用，促使他努力学习。如今，他成为资深外科医生，深信最大的快乐源自给予。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“带着一丝悲伤，Andreas继续解释道：‘在我小时候，我的父母没钱给我买礼物。’”可知，第一段可描写作者对Andreas的不幸遭遇感到同情，Andreas继而讲到家庭赋予自己的美好品质，充满感激。
②由第二段首句内容“他对阅读的渴望和他哥哥树立的榜样激励他努力学习，成为一名医生”可知，第二段可描写Andreas发奋学习，希望成为医生，改变自己的命运，现在他成了成功的医生，帮助病患。
2. 续写线索：Andreas解释圣诞礼物的事——作者感到同情——Andreas谈到自己的收获——Andreas渴望成为医生——Andreas努力学习——Andreas现在的成就

After graduating from high school, Amelia Earhart spent a vacation in Toronto, Canada, where she spotted wounded soldiers returning from World War I. Then, she volunteered as a nurse’s aide, coming to know many wounded pilots. She developed a strong admiration for aviators, spending much of her free time watching the Royal Flying Corps practicing at the airfield nearby.
At a Long Beach air show, Earhart took a plane ride that transformed her life. It was only 10 minutes, but when she landed she knew she had to learn to fly. Working at a variety of jobs, from photographer to truck driver, she earned enough money to take flying lessons. She read everything she could find on flying and spent much of her time at the airfield. She cropped her hair short, in the style of other women aviators. Worried about what the other more experienced pilots might think of her, she even slept in her new leather jacket for three nights to give it a more “worn” look.
Soon, she rose her fame and became the 16th woman to be issued a pilot’s license by The Federation Aeronautique. One day, Earhart received a phone call, asking her, “Would you like to fly the Atlantic ” In a heartbeat, she said yes. She was selected to be the first woman on a transatlantic flight as a passenger.
On June 17, 1928, Earhart took off from Trepassey Harbor in a Fokker named Friendship. Accompanying her on the flight were three other male pilots. Approximately 20 hours and 40 minutes later, they touched down safely. Earhart later confessed that she felt she “was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes”. Then she added, “Maybe someday I’ll try it alone.”
24．What contributed to Earhart’s determination to be a pilot
A．Experiencing a ten-minute air ride.
B．Appreciating a Long Beach air show.
C．Volunteering as a nurse's aide during World War I.
D．Watching wounded soldiers returning from the war.
25．Why did Earhart sleep in her new leather jacket
A．She cared for it a lot. B．She tried to make it look old.
C．She worried others would take it away. D．She was too worn out to take it off.
26．The reason why Earhart felt like “baggage” was that ______.
A．she landed the plane safely
B．she was the only woman on the flight
C．she was not an active-enough participant
D．she was not given credit for her role in the flight
27．Which words can best describe Earhart
A．Adventurous and patient. B．Humble and persistent.
C．Determined and passionate. D．Diligent and unselfish.
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars (臼齿) located at the very back of the mouth. They are the last of the 32 permanent teeth to appear, emerging between 17 and 25 years of age, when you are older and wiser. You might know that not everyone grows all four wisdom teeth. You might also know many people get them pulled. We study teeth and find the reason has a lot to do with the distant past and a bit about the present day, too.
A few million years ago, early human ancestors had larger jaws and teeth than humans do today. Scientists think robust jaws and teeth were needed because the foods early human ancestors ate were much more difficult to chew than food today. Softer, easier-to-chew food means teeth have a less challenging job. Therefore, modern human jaws have evolved to be smaller and faces to be flatter than our extinct ancestors’ were. Given these changes, the third molars might not be as important now as they once were.
About 25% of people today are missing at least one wisdom tooth completely. Sometimes, due to lack of space, wisdom teeth can get stuck inside the jawbone and never fully come up- or they only partially emerge. An impacted wisdom tooth will never come up properly. And it happens more often in the lower jaw than in the upper jaw. In cases where wisdom teeth are only partially up, people can sometimes experience pain, tooth decay (龋齿) or gum infection, which is why they have them pulled.
But wisdom teeth don’t usually need to be removed if they are fully erupted in the mouth, positioned correctly and healthily. Dentists can examine your mouth to see if your wisdom teeth are present, or look at X-ray pictures of your jaw if these last molars haven’t yet emerged and you suspect they may be impacted. Dentists can also advise you if any treatment or removal is recommended for your wisdom teeth. In the meantime, brushing at least twice a day will help keep all your teeth healthy.
28．What is the function of the first paragraph
A．To explain some reasons. B．To illustrate a concept.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To raise a question.
29．What does the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Flexible. B．Demanding. C．Rigid. D．Powerful.
30．What can be inferred about wisdom teeth from the passage
A．Some people get them pulled for convenience.
B．Our face is bound to become smaller by removing them.
C．Impacted wisdom teeth should be removed as early as possible.
D．The transformation of diet structure gives rise to their degeneration.
31．What is the best title for the passage
A．Wisdom teeth: the ache source. B．Wisdom teeth: To Pull or Not
C．Why do wisdom teeth disappear D．What influence will wisdom teeth bring
Climate change, pollution and fast-paced life got you down Wish you could buy a ticket on the Europa Clipper spacecraft Before you decide to leave Earth behind, consider the life of an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS).
Two NASA astronauts have been living aboard the ISS since their departure from Earth on June 5. Their mission, originally meant to last around a week, will have gone on for over eight months. NASA’s accepted odds for loss of crew during the extended stay, or chances they two won’t make it back to Earth alive, are 1 in 270. Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies.
Living in microgravity causes bodily fluids to become more evenly distributed, with up to two extra liters of blood in the upper body, triggering constant feelings of puffiness (浮肿), especially in the head and face. Captain Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, describes the feeling, “It feels a little like standing on your head 24 hours a day.” The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate.
Discoveries made during NASA’s study found extended time in space also impacts telomeres (端粒). During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels.
If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth.
32．What can we know about the two astronauts from Paragraph 2
A．NASA has accepted the fact of losing them.
B．They postpone their missions to eight months later.
C．Staying in space has potential damage to their physical conditions.
D．The longer they stay in space, the lower chances they have of returning alive.
33．How do the bodily fluids affect astronauts living in microgravity
A．They make astronauts’ whole bodies puffy.
B．They greatly weaken astronauts’ urges to urinate.
C．They accumulate more in the upper body than the lower.
D．They cause astronauts to feel like standing 24 hours a day.
34．What can we learn from Captain Kelly
A．He was less likely to suffer age-related diseases.
B．He reminded us that living on Earth was comfortable.
C．Living in space had no significant impact on his overall health.
D．His telomeres lengthened first and then shortened after returning from space.
35．What does the author intend to imply according to this article
A．It is not worth exploring the solar system.
B．Travelling in space is an affordable journey.
C．It is possible to travel to space as a vacation.
D．Exploring the space takes devotion and sacrifice.

67．阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Forty or so years ago, Andreas was born in a little village in Northern Greece, Macedonia, a village where old stone buildings could tell stories of a thousand years past and where tradition stayed strong and religious festivities are upheld with the highest honor. Andreas’ parents gave it all to support his brother to go to a medical college, which made life difficult for this family. When other children in the village played with toys, the only “toys” Andreas had access to were his brother’s medical textbooks. His mother often sat by the flickering candlelight, telling stories of bravery and hope. His father worked tirelessly to support the family.
When I first met Andreas, it was Christmas day this year. For Andreas, a dedicated doctor, it was simply another day spent in a white-walled hospital. In the corner of Andreas’ office sat an evergreen tree decorated with ribbons and fairy lights. But for Andreas, just like last Christmas, he would rather not enjoy the Christmas lights. Instead, he was surrounded by flashes of red from arriving ambulances and beeping bedside monitors.
He shared with me his childhood hatred towards Santa Claus. “But, why did you hate Santa Was it because you knew he wasn’t real ” I asked Andreas. “No!” Andreas laughed out loud. “It was because Santa never brought me Christmas gifts! Santa brought the other children gifts, but nothing for me. Never. Nothing!” He threw his head back, and I couldn’t help but join the broken heart of the boy who hated Santa Claus.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With a hint of sadness, Andreas continued to explain, “During my childhood, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me gifts.”

【听力材料】
W: Well, now let me tell you what I've been doing in recent years. In 2015, I retired from my post as a designer for a furniture company. And since then, I’ve been working as a volunteer. In 2017, I joined Green Woodpecker — an organization that promotes environmental protection. At the beginning, I mostly worked in public squares near the west railway station, helping the traffic police and giving directions to passengers. Then my work focus changed. When our city adopted the new tobacco control rules in June, 2018, I began a new task: persuading people not to smoke in public places. In addition to the railway station, I have been going to places where there are many restaurants and bars. We work in groups of three, and try to stop people from smoking. Fortunately, most smokers are supportive and put out their cigarettes when we ask them to, but that was not the case in the early days — some smokers could become quite violent. I like being a volunteer. The work is exciting and makes me feel young. It has now become a part of my life.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了女飞行员Amelia Earhart的成长故事。
【解析】24．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It was only 10 minutes, but when she landed she knew she had to learn to fly. (虽然只有10分钟，但当她降落时，她知道她必须学会飞行。)”可知，她决心学习飞行的原因是她亲身体验了十分钟的飞行。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第一句“she even slept in her new leather jacket for three nights to give it a more ‘worn’ look. (她甚至穿着新皮夹克睡了三个晚上，让它看起来更‘破旧’。)”可知，她穿着新的飞行皮夹克睡觉是为了让衣服看起来更旧一些。故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“Earhart later confessed that she felt she ‘was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes’ Then she added, ‘Maybe someday I’ll try it alone.’ (Earhart后来承认，她觉得自己‘只是个行李，就像一袋土豆’。然后她补充道，‘也许有一天我会独自尝试。’)”可知，在此次飞行当中，她认为自己发挥的作用并不大。故选C项。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“It was only 10 minutes, but when she landed she knew she had to learn to fly. (仅仅 10 分钟，但当她着陆时，她知道自己必须学会飞行。)” 以及最后一段第四句“Earhart later confessed that she felt she ‘was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes’. Then she added, ‘Maybe someday I’ll try it alone.’ (Earhart后来承认，她觉得自己‘就像行李，像一袋土豆’。然后她又说，‘也许有一天我会独自尝试。’)”以及上下文可知，Amelia Earhart经历10分钟飞行后就下定决心学飞行，做各种工作赚钱学飞行，以及在作为乘客完成跨大西洋飞行后还想独自尝试，可看出她对飞行充满决心和热情。故选C项。
【答案】28．C 29．D 30．D 31．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了智齿的产生和变化以及智齿给生活带来的影响。
【解析】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars (臼齿) located at the very back of the mouth. They are the last of the 32 permanent teeth to appear, emerging between 17 and 25 years of age, when you are older and wiser. You might know that not everyone grows all four wisdom teeth. You might also know many people get them pulled. We study teeth and find the reason has a lot to do with the distant past and a bit about the present day, too.(智齿是位于口腔最后面的第三组臼齿。它们是32颗恒牙中最后长出来的，在17岁到25岁之间长出来，这时你长大了，也更聪明了。你可能知道并不是每个人都会长出四颗智齿。你可能也知道很多人都把他们拔掉了。我们研究牙齿，发现原因与遥远的过去有很大关系，也和现在有一点关系)”可知，第一段是为了引出文章关于智齿的主题，故选C。
29．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“because the foods early human ancestors ate were much more difficult to chew than food today(因为早期人类祖先吃的食物比今天的食物更难咀嚼)”可知，早期人类祖先吃的食物比今天的食物更难咀嚼，所以人类需要强健的下颚和牙齿，故划线词意思是“强健的”。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第二段“Softer, easier-to-chew food means teeth have a less challenging job. Therefore, modern human jaws have evolved to be smaller and faces to be flatter than our extinct ancestors’ were.(更柔软、更容易咀嚼的食物意味着牙齿的工作难度更小。因此，现代人类的下颚比我们已灭绝的祖先进化得更小，脸更平)”可知，饮食结构的转变导致了智齿的退化，故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But wisdom teeth don’t usually need to be removed if they are fully erupted in the mouth, positioned correctly and healthily. Dentists can examine your mouth to see if your wisdom teeth are present, or look at X-ray pictures of your jaw if these last molars haven’t yet emerged and you suspect they may be impacted. Dentists can also advise you if any treatment or removal is recommended for your wisdom teeth.(但如果智齿在口腔中完全生长，位置正确且健康，通常不需要拔除。牙医可以检查你的口腔，看看你的智齿是否存在，或者看看你下巴的X光照片，如果这些最后的臼齿还没有出现，你怀疑它们可能受到了影响。牙医也可以告诉你是否有任何治疗或拔除智齿的建议)”以及文章介绍了智齿的产生和变化以及智齿给生活带来的影响。故B选项“智齿：拔还是不拔？”最符合文章标题。故选B。
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍微重力环境对于宇航员的身体的影响。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies. (虽然他们在执行任务时死亡的几率相对较低，但他们在太空长期停留的影响可能会对他们的身体产生影响。)”可知，长时间留在太空有可能对宇航员的身体状况有潜在的损害。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate. (液体在太空中重新分配自己的方式也会导致尿液漂浮在膀胱两侧，这可能会使宇航员在膀胱完全充满之前感觉不到小便的需要，从而导致意外的、自发的小便需要。)”可知，体液会削弱生活在微重力环境中的宇航员的尿意。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels. (在近一年的太空生活中，Captain Kelly的端粒实际上变长了，这通常是患与年龄有关疾病的几率较低的一个指标。然而，在返回地球后的几个月里，他的端粒长度被发现比他飞行前的水平短得多。)”可知，从太空回来后，Captain Kelly的端粒先是变长，然后又变短。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth.(如果你打算去太空旅行作为你的下一个豪华假期，准备在一个全新的环境中遇到更多严重的健康后果。对于像Captain Kelly这样的宇航员来说，太空对身体的影响是探索太阳系的一个小代价。对于我们这些还没有去过太空的人来说，生活在微重力下引起的健康问题可以提醒我们地球上的生活是多么舒适。)”可知，作者想暗示探索太空需要奉献和牺牲。故选D项。

38．上文“Geeks only seek the company of those who exhibit the same enthusiasm as they do. (极客只寻求和他们有同样热情的人作伴)”说明极客只和那些与自己表现出同样热情的人为伴，选项F“在接受他人为同类方面，他们很严厉。”承接上文，进一步说明极客对接纳他人为同类是很严苛的。故选F项。
39．上文“You can’t pretend to be a geek. (你不能假装是个极客)”说明极客是不能假装的，选项E“你需要向他们展示你和他们站在同一个角度思考问题。”承接上文，说明你必须展示真实的自我，符合题意。故选E项。
40．下文“Being a fan of a specific thing is one thing, while sticking to it no matter what happens is another. A real geek is totally into it, intellectually and emotionally. This idea explains why geeks will stay loyal to their obsession till the end. (成为一个特定事物的粉丝是一回事，而无论发生什么都坚持是另一回事。一个真正的极客会在智力和情感上完全投入其中。这个想法解释了为什么极客们会一直忠于他们的痴迷直到最后)”说明极客会将热爱的事情坚持到底，不会只对某一学科有所了解，选项G“如果一个人只对某一学科有所了解，他/她就不是极客。”引领下文，符合题意。故选G项。

【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了从2024年七月份起我国开始实施的144小时过境免签政策。
【解析】56．考查非限制性定语从句引导词。句意：这项政策以前仅适用于云南省昆明市，现在已扩大到包括丽江、普洱和其他七个城市。“ 56 previously applied only to Kunming City in Yunnan Province”为之前名词“this policy”的非限制性定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词“which”作引导词。故填which。
57．考查时态语态。句意：此外，最近在适用144小时免签证过境政策的入境口岸名单中增加了三个新的入境口岸。所填动词作句子的谓语动词。根据后面的“recently”可知此处要用到现在完成时，而主语“ports”是复数，与“add”之间是被动关系，应是现在完成时被动结构：have been done。故填have been added。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：来自54个国家的公民可以在没有签证的情况下过境到另一个国家，停留时间不超过144小时。此处是非谓语动词作状语，其逻辑主语“citizens”和“hold”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式，放在句首，首字母要大写。故填Holding。
59．考查不定冠词。句意：来自54个国家的公民可以在没有签证的情况下过境到另一个国家，停留时间不超过144小时。结合语境和句意可知，这里的主语“citizens”指的是已经到过中国的外国人，因此，此处的“ 57 third country”表另一个国家，无特指，用“不定冠词+序数词+名词单数”结构表达，意为“又一，再一”。 third发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。

62．考查从属连词。句意：自144小时过境免签政策实施以来，它为服务中国高水平对外开放、便利中外人员往来、促进国际合作发挥了重要作用。“ 58 it was implemented”为时间状语从句，结合主句时态“have played”为现在完成时，这里应是用“since”作从属连词，表“自从……以来”，之后接一般过去时句子。故填since。
63．考查名词。句意：144小时免签证过境政策的扩大为前往中国旅游和商务的外国公民提供了更多选择。分析句子结构可知，空前是冠词，空后是介词，因此，空处应填名词。“expand”，动词，意为“扩大，增加”，其名词形式为“expansion(扩大，扩张)”，为不可数名词。故填expansion。
64．考查副词比较级。句意：展望未来，国家移民局将继续完善免签证过境政策，进一步推进移民管理体制改革开放，全力推动高水平开放和高质量发展。用副词作状语，修饰动词“advanced”，且结合句意和语境可知，这里表示“进一步促进”，应是用far的比较级“further(进一步)”。故填further。
65．考查固定搭配。句意：展望未来，国家移民局将继续完善免签证过境政策，进一步推进移民管理体制改革开放，全力推动高水平开放和高质量发展。固定搭配make every effort to do尽一切努力做某事。故填to promote。

67．【答案】One possible version:
With a hint of sadness, Andreas continued to explain, “During my childhood, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me gifts.” I felt deep sympathy for Andreas as I imagined what it was like for him to watch all the other kids open their Christmas gifts. But his eyes softened as he recounted the memories of his childhood, “My parents gave me the greatest gift of all — love and perseverance.” A gentle smile played on his lips, reflecting a deep sense of gratitude and contentment. In the years without Christmas gifts, he passed the time reading his brother’s medical textbooks.
His appetite for reading and the example his brother set inspired him to study hard and become a doctor. Andreas excelled in his studies, fueled by the desire to change his fate. He pored over his brother’s medical textbooks, dreaming of one day wearing the white coat of a doctor. Now, Andreas is a senior surgeon, working tirelessly in the hospital. His busy figure embodies a firm belief that the greatest joy doesn’t come from receiving but from giving — saving lives, easing pain and bringing hope to those in despair.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四十年前，Andreas出生在希腊北部小村庄，家庭因供他哥哥上医学院而生活艰难。他儿时只能把哥哥的医学教科书作为“玩具”，而母亲常讲励志故事，父亲辛苦养家。今年圣诞节，身为医生的Andreas在医院值班。他向作者回忆起小时候讨厌圣诞老人，因为从未收到过圣诞礼物，当时父母买不起。但Andreas表示，父母给了他爱与毅力。儿时阅读医学教科书的经历，加上哥哥的榜样作用，促使他努力学习。如今，他成为资深外科医生，深信最大的快乐源自给予。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“带着一丝悲伤，Andreas继续解释道：‘在我小时候，我的父母没钱给我买礼物。’”可知，第一段可描写作者对Andreas的不幸遭遇感到同情，Andreas继而讲到家庭赋予自己的美好品质，充满感激。
②由第二段首句内容“他对阅读的渴望和他哥哥树立的榜样激励他努力学习，成为一名医生”可知，第二段可描写Andreas发奋学习，希望成为医生，改变自己的命运，现在他成了成功的医生，帮助病患。
2. 续写线索：Andreas解释圣诞礼物的事——作者感到同情——Andreas谈到自己的收获——Andreas渴望成为医生——Andreas努力学习——Andreas现在的成就
