On most Sundays, the sound of hammers(锤子)and other tools hitting stone can be heard in a village in the Chimalhuacan area, on Mexico City’s east side. The sounds come from stone carvers(石雕师)who still work on a skill that has been passed down for generations(世代)—even after the local stone was used up. The village is filled with meter-high religious(宗教的)figures and other beautiful stone objects.
Generations of stone carvers in Chimalhuacan also created much of the stonework found on buildings and in parks in the capital’s downtown.
While carvers in other areas long ago turned to machines, the workers here only use hammers and other special hand tools. Many are self-taught, but some, like Tomás Ugarte, aged 86, learned in the traditional way. This method of rock cutting has been passed down between family members, dating back about five generations.
The rock cutters are generally old. There were about 600 official stone carvers about 10 years ago. Now, there are probably only around 300. The carvers are dying and their children generally do not want to take up the trade.
Still, the stone carvers keep the old traditions alive. Many people in the area use stone tools made by the stone carvers.
Rev. Alberto Sandoval, who has known the stone workers since 1990, described them as “the backbone of the community.” Most of the carvers have work areas at home, which provides them with some money. They sell carvings for prices from $500 to $2,000. But they often do not sell much.
Unlike many craftspeople who want to see their works shown in museums, the carvers here also work for free at repairing the stonework at the 250-year-old local church, Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
Asked if the trade will continue, carver Mario Olivares read a poem written on the church wall: “Your art, your tradition, your culture and the nobility(高贵)of the people keep the spirit of this town alive.”
24．What is special about the stone carvers in Chimalhuacan
A．They have turned to machines. B．They only use hand tools.
C．They are self-taught. D．They mainly create religious figures.
25．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A．The great loss of the local stone. B．Different jobs the young choose.
C．The worrying future for the trade. D．The long history of stone carving.
26．What can we know about the carvers
A．They work for free most of the time. B．They like giving their works to museums.
C．They sell carvings at high prices. D．They often make a little money.
27．How did Mario Olivares feel about the future of the trade
A．Confident. B．Uncaring.
C．Helpless. D．Worried.
Kids want to spend their summer vacations having fun in the sun with their friends. Reading may not even be on their list. But if you add a lovely dog, that could make reading a pleasant activity.
Now a new study found that reading to dogs helps to improve reading ability because dogs provide a nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere(氛围).
Three educators from the college decided to look at new ways to get kids to read more after the Education Ministry expressed concern over a great drop in reading scores in fourth-grade students.
These students had reading difficulties because they did not go through school in person during the last three years. They missed out on reading practice with their peers(同龄人)during the second and third grades.
“We want to find an original way that would encourage students to practice their reading,” Har-Zvi, head of the special-education track and senior lecturer at the college said. “And to create that encouragement, we decided to do experiments with dogs.”
Reading to pets encourages kids to acquire confidence and interest in reading, according to the pet food company Purina. That’s not only because the practice of reading to dogs is used in home-schooling to help the kids acquire reading ability, but also because pets are comforting and nonjudgmental. Einat Artzi, whose daughter took part in the experiment, told Ynet that her daughter Michaela ”has loved dogs from a young age. Her experience of reading to dogs greatly increased her desire to read, and in her opinion, it improved her reading abilities. All in all, the experience of introducing dogs into the classroom made her feel comfortable and safe, and she began to enjoy going to school. Michaela is now considered one of the top readers in her class and has a very rich vocabulary. Thanks to this, we also took in a dog.“
28．What led three educators to try to get kids to read more
A．Kids’ difficulty in making friends. B．Teachers’ passive teaching methods.
C．Their worry about students’ health. D．Concerns of education leaders.
29．What gave the kids confidence in the experiment
A．The quiet listening of the dogs. B．The kids’ love for the dogs.
C．The parents’ joining them. D．The guidance from the teachers.
30．How did the experiment influence Michaela according to her mother
A．It made her fall in love with dogs. B．It bettered her reading ability greatly.
C．It improved her relationships with others. D．It allowed her to take a dog to school.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Dogs Are Good Friends to Kids B．Kids’ Reading Scores Are Dropping
C．Dogs Help Make Kids Better Readers D．Kids Studying at Home Brings Problems
Sea ice in the Antarctic (南极) area fell to a record low this year. The drop is a result of rising temperatures worldwide. And there is no quick method to make up for the ice drop, and the recovery (恢复) has a long way to go, scientists said recently in a new study.
Antarctica’s smallest summer ice cover fell further to a new low in February. This year’s sea ice minimum (最小值) is 20 percent lower than the average (平均值) over the last 40 years. The sea ice loss equals an area nearly 10 times that of New Zealand.
The warming of Earth’s surface driven by the burning of coal, gas and oil has made Antarctica more likely to suffer from extreme (极端的) events. And the result is almost “certain” to get worse, the study said. Climate change will “lead to increases in the size and rate”of heat waves, broken ice shelves and drops in sea ice, it said.
The effects of the Earth’s warming on Antarctica and the surrounding ocean have been uncertain. Scientists have had problems measuring how much the Earth’s warming is altering the thickness of Antarctic ice.
But from events such as the fast drop in sea ice, it is “scientifically reasonable” to suppose that extreme events are going to become worse as temperatures rise worldwide, said Martin Siegert of the University of Exeter, another study co-writer.
Siegert described the temperature increase as completely surprising. Siegert added that luckily the event had happened during the Antarctic winter, instead of summer, or it would have caused melting (融化) on the surface of the East Antarctic ice cover, which has so far been saved from melting.
Siegert used the term “fragile”, meaning easily broken or damaged, to describe Antarctica. “Antarctica is fragile as an environment, but extreme events test that fragility,” he said.
32．What do the scientists think of the recovery of Antarctic sea ice
A．It is hopeful. B．It is difficult.
C．It is on its way. D．It can’t be prevented.
33．Why does the author mention New Zealand
A．To explain the size of sea ice loss. B．To show the position of ice cover.
C．To describe how far Antarctica is. D．To state sea ice is connected to New Zealand.
34．What does the underlined word ”altering“ in paragraph 4 mean
A．Adding. B．Pressing.
C．Changing. D．Protecting.
35．What might have caused worse results according to Siegert
A．Antarctic sea ice is recovering too slowly.
B．The Antarctic ice cover is continuously moving.
C．The environment of Antarctica is easy to break.
D．Extreme events happen in Antarctic summer.
In a world ruled by hard exercise and complex fitness programs, the simple act of walking often goes unnoticed. 36 It offers physical and mental benefits (益处) that lead to total happiness.
Heart Health and Weight Management
Walking is light heart exercise that helps improve heart health by increasing blood circulation (循环). 37 Besides, regular quick walking supports in weight management by burning calories and improving digestion (消化), making it an excellent choice for those looking to throw away pounds or keep a healthy weight.
Stress Drop and Clear Mind
Taking a relaxing walk or quick walk has been shown to give off endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” materials. This leads to lower pressure (压力) levels, improved feelings, and improved mental health. Walking outdoors in nature or in a peaceful environment can provide a refreshing escape from the daily tasks. 38
Joint (关节) Health and Free Movement
Unlike active sports, walking is soft on the joints, making it a perfect choice for people of all ages and fitness levels. 39 At the same time, it also raises the ability to move freely and easily. Walking regularly can be particularly good for those recovering from pain or looking to avoid problems with joints.
Social Communication and Connection
40 Walking clubs, group climbs, or even simple walking with a friend or family member can provide a chance to connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories while at the same time bringing the physical benefits.
A．It helps oil joints and make them stronger.
B．In fact, it is not as simple as it seems.
C．So taking a walk can make your mind relaxed and fresh.
D．Taking a slow walk after meals is better than taking a quick one.
E．It cuts down the risk of heart disease and brings down blood pressure.
F．Walking is useful exercise that can easily be turned into a social activity.
G．However, walking remains one of the easiest and most useful forms of exercise.

Kay Day, an 87-year-old UK woman, loves elephants. But Day, who suffers from dementia(痴呆), rarely leaves her nursing home room and hasn’t seen a real elephant for a really long time. Until now.
Day is so fond of elephants that her room is full of elephant photos and toys. She dreamed of seeing an elephant up close again but never thought it would happen. On Wednesday, August 9, 2023, Day’s dream became a reality after her nursing home took her on a special trip to the Whipsnade Zoo.
The nursing home collected money to be able to realize Day’s dream. “Day doesn’t join in many activities and tends to spend quite a lot of time alone,” said the nursing home manager. “So when we sat and discussed wishes, we found out she would love to see an elephant. When we found the Elephant Experience at Whipsnade and contacted them, we said we should make her dream come true!”
Day was so excited about going to the zoo that she marked off the days on her elephant-themed calendar. Day’s carers telephoned her family and asked them to come along on the trip to support her on that exciting day.
Since the Whipsnade Zoo is a protection zoo that is working to protect wildlife as well as connect people with nature, the staff runs a lot of programs including various animal experiences and “Be a Keeper” days.
Day often told people around her that she would like to pet and feed the elephants herself as she did many years before. And she said that the elephants’ trunks (象鼻) are her favourite part of the huge animals. “It’s such a wonderful feeling to have an elephant take some food out of your hand, put it in his trunk, curl (卷起) it up and put it in his mouth, ” she told the reporter when she was interviewed.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day for going to the zoo finally came.

The moment arrived when Day was able to meet the elephants up close.

That’s not only because the practice of reading to dogs is used in home-schooling to help the kids acquire reading ability, but also because pets are comforting and nonjudgmental.”（宠物食品公司Purina表示，给宠物朗读可以鼓励孩子们获得阅读的信心和兴趣。这不仅是因为在家庭教育中，给狗狗朗读的做法被用来帮助孩子们获得阅读能力，还因为宠物是安慰和不评判的。）可知，给狗朗读的做法是用来帮助孩子们获得阅读能力的。这是因为宠物让人感到安慰，而且不会评判别人。即狗的安静聆听让孩子们对实验充满信心。故选A项。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Einat Artzi, whose daughter took part in the experiment, told Ynet that her daughter Michaela ”has loved dogs from a young age. Her experience of reading to dogs greatly increased her desire to read, and in her opinion, it improved her reading abilities. All in all, the experience of introducing dogs into the classroom made her feel comfortable and safe, and she began to enjoy going to school.”（Einat Artzi的女儿参加了这次实验，她告诉Ynet，她的女儿Michaela“从小就喜欢狗。她对狗读书的经历大大增加了她的阅读欲望，在她看来，这提高了她的阅读能力。总而言之，把狗狗引入教室的经历让她感到舒适和安全，她开始喜欢上学了。）可推知，Michaela的母亲说，这个实验这大大提高了她女儿的阅读能力。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段的内容“Kids want to spend their summer vacations having fun in the sun with their friends. Reading may not even be on their list. But if you add a lovely dog, that could make reading a pleasant activity.”（孩子们想和朋友们一起在阳光下度过暑假。阅读甚至可能不在他们的清单上。但如果你加上一只可爱的狗，那就可以让阅读成为一项愉快的活动。）可知，文章谈论的话题是狗能帮助孩子更好地阅读。现在一项新的研究发现，给狗狗朗读有助于提高阅读能力，因为狗提供了一种没有评判和支持的氛围。故文章最好的标题是“狗帮助孩子更好地阅读”。故选C项。

66．The First Decision I Made by Myself
It was the summer before high school, when I was faced with a key choice: whether to attend a summer camp abroad, entirely on my own, or to spend the vacation comfortably at home with my family.
My parents wanted me to stay at home or choose a project near home. But I preferred to choose the camp abroad, though fear and uncertainty might be along the way. After several family discussions, I finally decided to take on this solo journey.
The summer camp proved to be a great experience. I am grateful for that choice. It has taught me that stepping out of our comfort zone can lead to incredible growth and discovery.
67．One possible version:
The day for going to the zoo finally came. Day headed for there with her family and carers. She was very excited all the way. She told people with her that she never expected her wish to actually come true. Soon the group arrived at the zoo, where the workers were already waiting for them. They gave them a warm welcome. Then they first showed them around the zoo and introduced other rare animals to them, but Day’s heart was set on seeing the elephants.
The moment arrived when Day was able to meet the elephants up close. She was led to her dream place—the elephant house. She was given a bucket of fresh fruit and vegetables to feed them, and as she held out a piece of apple to one of the elephants, she felt a sense of pure joy fill her heart. Day gently felt the elephant, and the elephant seemed to enjoy her kind touch. Day’s children took many photos of her and the elephant. For Day, it was a dream come true and a memory that she would cherish forever.
