A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony.
One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket.
That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.”
“My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!”
The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.”

When it comes to heart attacks, the first image that often comes to mind is that of a middle-aged man, clutching (紧抓) his chest and struggling with a pained expression. This is what you’re most likely to see when searching “heart attack” online. You’re far less likely to think of a female heart attack victim.
According to Forbes, medical research has traditionally been led by men, which undoubtedly leads to a lack of female-related data and information in medical research. From diagnosis to treatment, gender differences are often overlooked. For example, a 2017 study found that women are at greater risk of dying of heart attacks than men.
The reason lies in the difference in heart attack symptoms (症状) between men and women. According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the top-ranking hospitals in the US, women are less likely to have chest pains, which are considered as a typical symptom of heart attacks. Instead, they have more atypical symptoms, including shoulder pain and arm pain. As a result, many women were initially given a mistaken diagnosis (诊断), delaying access to the right treatment and increasing the fatality rate.
Even if a female is correctly and immediately diagnosed with a heart attack, there’s another problem: medicine. Research has found that certain medicines used to dissolve blood clots (凝块) right after a heart attack can be helpful for a lot of men, but might lead to serious bleeding issues in women.
Although women are no longer seen as inferior in most parts of the world today, the fields of healthcare and medicine still see a male’s body as the ”standard” human body. For example, Valium has been promoted as the “mother’s little helper” for treating anxiety among women. However, a study noted that the medicine developer had never conducted a single trial involving women until 2003.
Take a look at the medicine you have taken recently. There’s always one recommended dosage (剂量) for adults. But who is this dosage meant for? An adult in general, or specifically an adult man?
8. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. There exists a gender gap in online searching.
B. People have a fixed gender impression of heart attacks.
C. Female heart attacks are often observed by researchers.
D. Researches on heart attacks are mainly conducted by men.
9. What does the underlined word “atypical” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Natural. B. Mild. C. Unusual. D. Fatal.
10. Why is the death rate for heart attacks higher in women than in men?
A. Symptoms on women are more severe.
B. Symptoms on women are more misleading.
C. Women don’t seek medical help timely.
D. Women resist proper treatment and medicine.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some medicines are more effective on female bodies.
B. Women are disadvantaged groups in the medical field.
C. Medicine trials involving women are being conducted.
D. Women’s health concerns were a priority in medical research.
D
Parts of East Asia could see “rivers in the sky” form due to climate change, bringing record-breaking levels of rainfall with them, a new study has revealed.
The team, from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, have already seen clear signs of global warming hitting parts of the country, so they wanted to see how bad things could get. “It’s been becoming more and more clear that global warming means more than just warmer temperatures,” they wrote.
One particularly-damaging extreme weather event is an increase in rainfall to unexpected and unprecedented (前所未有的) levels, which can result in flooding. To help predict rainfall events, researchers looked to one of the causes — the interaction of atmospheric rivers with mountain ranges.
“As the name suggests, atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of concentrated water vapour flowing through the atmosphere,” the team explained. “When one of these bands meets a barrier, such as a mountain range, it can produce extreme levels of rainfall or snowfall.”
Parts of East Asia have been subjected to (遭受) an increasing number of damaging, extreme weather events over the past decade.
To understand the impact, the team used high-resolution global atmospheric circulations model simulations (模拟) that virtually re-create the conditions in the atmosphere. They then looked at other regional climate models, comparing simulations based on real, meteorological data (气象数据) from 1951 to 2010 to predictions for 2090.
Authors used the climate scenario that would result in 4℃ of warming, compared to preindustrial levels — which is significantly more than 2℃ target set as part of Paris Climate Agreement.
First author, Professor Yoichi Kamae, said that their simulations predict strengthened water vapour transport, as well as increased rainfall at unprecedented levels. In simulations the greatest amounts of atmospheric river-related rainfall occurred on the southern and western slopes of mountains in East Asia, including in Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and northeastern China. They had to limit the study to East Asia due to computer time and processing limitations, but predict it would apply to other regions around the world.
12. What’s the possible consequence of the global warming?
A. It contributes to polluted air.
B. It leads to hot and rainy climate.
C. It only results in the rise of temperature.
D. It causes the destruction of more species.
13. The author wrote Paragraph 4 to ________.
A. describe the new study
B introduce atmospheric rivers
C. analyze the cause of rainfall
D. warn people of global warming
14. How is the research carried to know the effect?
A. By comparison. B. By discussion.
C. By examples. D. By explanation
15. What’s the attitude of Professor Yoichi Kamae toward their simulations?
A. They are risky. B. They are valueless.
C. They are perfect. D. They are convincing.

47. 阅读下面材料，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。
My two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
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。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.

She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony.
One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket.
That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.”
“My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!”
The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.”

When it comes to heart attacks, the first image that often comes to mind is that of a middle-aged man, clutching (紧抓) his chest and struggling with a pained expression. This is what you’re most likely to see when searching “heart attack” online. You’re far less likely to think of a female heart attack victim.
According to Forbes, medical research has traditionally been led by men, which undoubtedly leads to a lack of female-related data and information in medical research. From diagnosis to treatment, gender differences are often overlooked. For example, a 2017 study found that women are at greater risk of dying of heart attacks than men.
The reason lies in the difference in heart attack symptoms (症状) between men and women. According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the top-ranking hospitals in the US, women are less likely to have chest pains, which are considered as a typical symptom of heart attacks. Instead, they have more atypical symptoms, including shoulder pain and arm pain. As a result, many women were initially given a mistaken diagnosis (诊断), delaying access to the right treatment and increasing the fatality rate.
Even if a female is correctly and immediately diagnosed with a heart attack, there’s another problem: medicine. Research has found that certain medicines used to dissolve blood clots (凝块) right after a heart attack can be helpful for a lot of men, but might lead to serious bleeding issues in women.
Although women are no longer seen as inferior in most parts of the world today, the fields of healthcare and medicine still see a male’s body as the ”standard” human body. For example, Valium has been promoted as the “mother’s little helper” for treating anxiety among women. However, a study noted that the medicine developer had never conducted a single trial involving women until 2003.
Take a look at the medicine you have taken recently. There’s always one recommended dosage (剂量) for adults. But who is this dosage meant for? An adult in general, or specifically an adult man?
8. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. There exists a gender gap in online searching.
B. People have a fixed gender impression of heart attacks.
C. Female heart attacks are often observed by researchers.
D. Researches on heart attacks are mainly conducted by men.
9. What does the underlined word “atypical” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Natural. B. Mild. C. Unusual. D. Fatal.
10. Why is the death rate for heart attacks higher in women than in men?
A. Symptoms on women are more severe.
B. Symptoms on women are more misleading.
C. Women don’t seek medical help timely.
D. Women resist proper treatment and medicine.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some medicines are more effective on female bodies.
B. Women are disadvantaged groups in the medical field.
C. Medicine trials involving women are being conducted.
D. Women’s health concerns were a priority in medical research.

Parts of East Asia could see “rivers in the sky” form due to climate change, bringing record-breaking levels of rainfall with them, a new study has revealed.
The team, from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, have already seen clear signs of global warming hitting parts of the country, so they wanted to see how bad things could get. “It’s been becoming more and more clear that global warming means more than just warmer temperatures,” they wrote.
One particularly-damaging extreme weather event is an increase in rainfall to unexpected and unprecedented (前所未有的) levels, which can result in flooding. To help predict rainfall events, researchers looked to one of the causes — the interaction of atmospheric rivers with mountain ranges.
“As the name suggests, atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of concentrated water vapour flowing through the atmosphere,” the team explained. “When one of these bands meets a barrier, such as a mountain range, it can produce extreme levels of rainfall or snowfall.”
Parts of East Asia have been subjected to (遭受) an increasing number of damaging, extreme weather events over the past decade.
To understand the impact, the team used high-resolution global atmospheric circulations model simulations (模拟) that virtually re-create the conditions in the atmosphere. They then looked at other regional climate models, comparing simulations based on real, meteorological data (气象数据) from 1951 to 2010 to predictions for 2090.
Authors used the climate scenario that would result in 4℃ of warming, compared to preindustrial levels — which is significantly more than 2℃ target set as part of Paris Climate Agreement.
First author, Professor Yoichi Kamae, said that their simulations predict strengthened water vapour transport, as well as increased rainfall at unprecedented levels. In simulations the greatest amounts of atmospheric river-related rainfall occurred on the southern and western slopes of mountains in East Asia, including in Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and northeastern China. They had to limit the study to East Asia due to computer time and processing limitations, but predict it would apply to other regions around the world.
12. What’s the possible consequence of the global warming?
A. It contributes to polluted air.
B. It leads to hot and rainy climate.
C. It only results in the rise of temperature.
D. It causes the destruction of more species.
13. The author wrote Paragraph 4 to ________.
A. describe the new study
B introduce atmospheric rivers
C. analyze the cause of rainfall
D. warn people of global warming
14. How is the research carried to know the effect?
A. By comparison. B. By discussion.
C. By examples. D. By explanation
15. What’s the attitude of Professor Yoichi Kamae toward their simulations?
A. They are risky. B. They are valueless.
C. They are perfect. D. They are convincing.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D

47. 阅读下面材料，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。
My two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
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。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.

As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn. It was dark inside. I gathered myself and went toward the sound with great care. As I flicked on my phone’s flashlight and saw what was in one of the stalls, I let out a high-pitched squeal — baby foxes! They were crawling out of a hole and then tumbling back down. Adorable! Barely could I contain my thrill and excitement at my first encounter with these wild creatures. Knowing that everyone adored animals, I snapped a hundred photos and quickly updated my post. This time, I knew I’d make everyone jealous, including, of course, my two best friends.
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change. Likes did pour in as anticipated, alongside Carlos and Natalia’s warm words. Yet, the thrill of likes faded as my thoughts wandered to the cute baby foxes’ awkward leaps — no filter could frame this joy. Piece by piece, the farm’s simple wonders surfaced: the unforgettable dawn scene, the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies, the dusty barn, and wild magic, etc., and all these kept me spellbound. Mom was right: true joy wasn’t in crafting envy-worthy posts for likes but in these simple, precious moments spent with my beloved Grandpa on the magic farm.
