阅读下列短文、从每题、所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
New York is a year-round city, with events happening every month. But when you’ve got limited vacation days, every moment of your trip counts. My advice: The best time to visit New York City (NYC) really depends on what you desire to see or do.
April
Spring is when New York shows its softer side. The weather is mild and the streets are calm — before the summer crowds come. In April, it feels like you have the city to yourself. After a long, cold winter being holed up in your apartment, you can walk through the park and watch the flowers bloom.
August
If you want to live like a New Yorker, head to Rockaway Beach, Queens, in August. This is where the locals escape the hot damp summer heat, especially when the Hamptons and Fire Island are too packed. Rockaway has a long stretch of sand, so you can take your pick. If you want to catch a wave, sign up for surf lessons at Locals Surf School.
September
September is the month that makes me fall in love with the city. It’s sunny and warm, and there are fewer crowds once the kids go back to school after Labor Day. Though there are signs of fall, mainly in the cooler nights, you don’t need to wear anything above a light sweater. This pleasant weather is ideal for a picnic in Brooklyn.
October
In October, the city becomes one big food festival. No really, there are open-air markets all across the five boroughs. If you want to try food from around the world, Queens Night Market should be at the top of your list. To see some cooks in action, get tickets to the New York City Wine & Food Festival that takes place in mid-October.
1. What does the author think is the key to choosing the best time to visit New York
A. Vacation length. B. Social customs.
C. Personal needs. D. Attractive events.
2. Which of the following make April in New York special
A. Its fewer crowds. B. Its cooler nights.
C. Its fun festivals. D. Its surf teams.
3. Who will probably enjoy October in New York most
A. Famous cooks. B. Food lovers. C. Beach goers. D. Sports players.
B
In 2008, a big wildfire called the Freeway Complex Fire broke out in Orange County. Friedrich and her husband had to act quickly to save animals from the fire. They roped pigs and helped guide frightened horses into trailers to move them to safety. They should have rescued (营救) all their neighbors’ horses, but the fire was getting closer.
That experience made Friedrich realize that there wasn’t a good rescue plan in place. In response, horse owners in Orange County formed the Large Animal Rescue Team (LART) in 2008. The group helped save horses and other animals from wildfires. Friedrich joined the team in 2009.
However, because of limited resources and fewer volunteers, the group recently decided to only operate within San Juan Capistrano, the city where it is based. This means that horse owners in nearby areas, like Yorba Linda, will no longer have support during fires. This decision has caused concern among people who live outside the city.
The idea of a local animal rescue team is not unique to Orange County, but this is the first time an organization has reduced its coverage in this way. In the past, volunteers traveled from different areas to help during emergencies (紧急情况). Now, that support is limited.
Although LART was praised for its success in rescuing animals, during one fire, there were problems with communication, which caused delays (延迟). The county recognized the team’s hard work during the 2020 fire season, but there were still issues with how the rescue efforts were managed.
With fewer volunteers, LART would no longer manage the program after January 1. Orange County has not yet shown interest in taking over the program. “For now, local horse owners are turning to other strategies (策略) and working to be prepared for emergencies. We understand that it’s important to be ready before fires strike,” says Friedrich.
4. How did the experience in 2008 affect Friedrich
A. She gave up efforts to rescue wild animals. B. She realized the need for a better rescue plan.
C. She sold all the pigs and horses on her farm. D. She dropped out of a local animal rescue team.
5. Why did LART decide to operate only within San Juan Capistrano
A. It was short of hands. B. It wasted much money in a fire rescue.
C. Neighboring areas had similar rescue teams. D. Fire risks in other areas had greatly been reduced.
6. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The new goals LART will set. B. The achievements LART made.
C. The problems facing LART. D. The national support for LART.
7. What have local horse owners probably been doing according to Friedrich
A Providing food for families in need. B. Waiting for the rescue team to return.
C. Holding activities to train volunteers. D. Looking for other solutions to wildfires.
C
On a warm April evening on England’s Jurassic Coast, I joined a seaweed foraging course. Our guide, Dan Scott, taught us about the different parts of seaweed, how to harvest it sustainably by cutting without killing the plant, and which types are safe to eat. The experience made me think: Does foraging help us reconnect with nature, and is it good for the planet
Foraging can create a deep connection to nature. Janani Sivarajah, a researcher on city foraging, says it brings people together, connects people to the land, and brings people back to their roots. Dan Scott agrees, believing that teaching people about edible plants makes them more likely to protect nature while foraging.
Foraging is the oldest way of getting food and is becoming very popular again. It is common among people who care about the environment and want to avoid pesticides and industrial food systems. However, its popularity has led to rules in some US national parks to limit how much people can gather.
The effect of foraging on the environment is complicated. Foraging can use up local resources that wildlife needs, particularly when it is done to sell for money. Laws show these worries, so foraging is not allowed in some Canadian parks, and the UK’s National Trust warns against taking too much. Sustainable foraging means taking only small amounts for yourself. But Dan Scott admits that if thousands of people foraged on the beach, it would not be sustainable.
Health risks are another important thing to think about. Sivarajah warns that plants in cities can absorb harmful metals from car pollution. Seaweed has high levels of substances like arsenic and lead. The biggest danger, however, comes from picking the wrong thing. For example, he is very clear that looking for mushrooms needs learning from an expert, not just books, because deadly poisonous types exist. His advice is joining a group and learning from experienced people.
8. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A. By listing numbers.
B. By answering some questions.
C. Through a brief comparison.
D. Through a personal experience.
9. What is Dan Scott’s attitude towards Janani Sivarajah’s opinion
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
10. Why are people prevented from foraging in some parks in Canada
A. Foraging can have bad effects on local wildlife.
B. Foraging causes local farmers to make less money.
C. Foraging often leads to people picking up some poisonous plants.
D. Foraging influences the development of Canada’s food systems.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why is foraging a valuable practice
B. The benefits and challenges of foraging
C. Methods of foraging for seaweed safely
D. Why is foraging becoming popular again
D
Researchers at Stanford University have used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) and brain scanning (扫描) technology to study the brain activity of students with math learning disabilities. This research aims to better understand the neurological (神经系统的) reasons behind these challenges, which affect one in five students in the United States.
The study built on years of research into how learning disabilities affect children’s brains. By using new AI tools, the team was able to explore these problems in greater detail. The study created “digital twins” — AI models that copy the brain activity of real students as they solve math problems.
The researchers tested 45 students, aged 7 to 9, including 21 with math learning disabilities. While the students solved basic addition and subtraction (减法) problems, their brain activity was tracked by a brain scanning machine. The AI models, or “digital twins”, were then trained to copy the students’ answers and brain activity.
The results were surprising. It turned out that the problem wasn’t too little brain activity, as many had thought, but too much. The students with learning disabilities showed signs of too much excitement in brain areas connected to math. The digital twins showed the same patterns, which means that too much neural activity could cause confusion in solving math problems.
The study suggests that students with learning disabilities may need more training to better their performance. The researchers hope that their “digital twins” can be used to create personalized learning plans for students, helping to design more effective educational programs.
However a researcher said that we cannot overread the results. The model needs refinement. There is more work to do, but it does point in some promising new directions for further research.
“The study makes us have a system to test targeted strategies before trying them in real classrooms,” Vinod Menon, a professor at Stanford, said. “That can speed up the ability to design effective educational programs and make real progress for kids with math learning disabilities.”
12. What is the purpose of the Stanford University study
A. To change the existing education system.
B. To teach students better math learning methods.
C. To raise solutions to challenges facing teachers.
D. To find out the neurological causes of math learning disabilities.
13. What were the students asked to do during the experiment
A. Design an AI model. B. Join a math club together.
C. Take notes about math. D. Work out math problems.
14. What does the underlined word “refinement” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Comments. B. Invention.
C. Improvement. D. Responsibilities.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the study
A. Its wide use. B. Its positive effects.
C. Its disadvantages. D. Its difficulties.

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。
Elena felt a bit lonely during her first week at Westbrook High School. She carried her backpack through crowded hallways, surrounded by laughter and chatter, yet none of it belonged to her. At lunch she sat alone, staring at the clock, counting the minutes until she could leave.
One afternoon, her English teacher, Ms Carter, stopped by her desk. “You write well,” she said gently. “Have you thought about joining the Debate (辩论) Club Just come to listen.” Elena nodded uncertainly, though inside she felt nervous.
That Saturday she pushed open the library door where the club members met. A circle of students sat with notebooks open, voices bright and eager. Elena hid near the back, ready to leave, but Ms Carter noticed her and introduced her to Daniel and Priya, two members of the Debate Club.
The meeting began with a simple topic: Should school uniforms (校服) be required At first, Elena only listened. She heard arguments about fairness, freedom and so on. Then, almost without thinking, she raised her hand and shared her opinion that uniforms could reduce the pressure to wear expensive clothes, which might make school life fairer. To her surprise, others nodded and smiled. For the first time, she felt her words mattered.
Over the next few weeks, Elena returned every Saturday. Each time she spoke more, laughed more, and even started preparing notes ahead of time. The library, once a place of silence, became a place of excitement and energy. Daniel often encouraged her, while Priya patiently helped her polish her ideas. Slowly, Elena realized she was no longer invisible (隐形的). She was part of something bigger than herself.
One afternoon, Priya handed her a flyer (宣传单) for a debate competition. “We need a member,” she said. “Would you join us ” Elena hesitated. The thought of speaking in front of strangers terrified her. But when she looked at her new friends’ hopeful faces, she finally agreed.
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。
For the next few days, Elena practiced with Daniel and Priya.

They roped pigs and helped guide frightened horses into trailers to move them to safety. They should have rescued (营救) all their neighbors’ horses, but the fire was getting closer.
That experience made Friedrich realize that there wasn’t a good rescue plan in place. In response, horse owners in Orange County formed the Large Animal Rescue Team (LART) in 2008. The group helped save horses and other animals from wildfires. Friedrich joined the team in 2009.
However, because of limited resources and fewer volunteers, the group recently decided to only operate within San Juan Capistrano, the city where it is based. This means that horse owners in nearby areas, like Yorba Linda, will no longer have support during fires. This decision has caused concern among people who live outside the city.
The idea of a local animal rescue team is not unique to Orange County, but this is the first time an organization has reduced its coverage in this way. In the past, volunteers traveled from different areas to help during emergencies (紧急情况). Now, that support is limited.
Although LART was praised for its success in rescuing animals, during one fire, there were problems with communication, which caused delays (延迟). The county recognized the team’s hard work during the 2020 fire season, but there were still issues with how the rescue efforts were managed.
With fewer volunteers, LART would no longer manage the program after January 1. Orange County has not yet shown interest in taking over the program. “For now, local horse owners are turning to other strategies (策略) and working to be prepared for emergencies. We understand that it’s important to be ready before fires strike,” says Friedrich.
4. How did the experience in 2008 affect Friedrich
A. She gave up efforts to rescue wild animals. B. She realized the need for a better rescue plan.
C. She sold all the pigs and horses on her farm. D. She dropped out of a local animal rescue team.
5. Why did LART decide to operate only within San Juan Capistrano
A. It was short of hands. B. It wasted much money in a fire rescue.
C. Neighboring areas had similar rescue teams. D. Fire risks in other areas had greatly been reduced.
6. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The new goals LART will set. B. The achievements LART made.
C. The problems facing LART. D. The national support for LART.
7. What have local horse owners probably been doing according to Friedrich
A Providing food for families in need. B. Waiting for the rescue team to return.
C. Holding activities to train volunteers. D. Looking for other solutions to wildfires.

On a warm April evening on England’s Jurassic Coast, I joined a seaweed foraging course. Our guide, Dan Scott, taught us about the different parts of seaweed, how to harvest it sustainably by cutting without killing the plant, and which types are safe to eat. The experience made me think: Does foraging help us reconnect with nature, and is it good for the planet
Foraging can create a deep connection to nature. Janani Sivarajah, a researcher on city foraging, says it brings people together, connects people to the land, and brings people back to their roots. Dan Scott agrees, believing that teaching people about edible plants makes them more likely to protect nature while foraging.
Foraging is the oldest way of getting food and is becoming very popular again. It is common among people who care about the environment and want to avoid pesticides and industrial food systems. However, its popularity has led to rules in some US national parks to limit how much people can gather.
The effect of foraging on the environment is complicated. Foraging can use up local resources that wildlife needs, particularly when it is done to sell for money. Laws show these worries, so foraging is not allowed in some Canadian parks, and the UK’s National Trust warns against taking too much. Sustainable foraging means taking only small amounts for yourself. But Dan Scott admits that if thousands of people foraged on the beach, it would not be sustainable.
Health risks are another important thing to think about. Sivarajah warns that plants in cities can absorb harmful metals from car pollution. Seaweed has high levels of substances like arsenic and lead. The biggest danger, however, comes from picking the wrong thing. For example, he is very clear that looking for mushrooms needs learning from an expert, not just books, because deadly poisonous types exist. His advice is joining a group and learning from experienced people.
8. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A. By listing numbers.
B. By answering some questions.
C. Through a brief comparison.
D. Through a personal experience.
9. What is Dan Scott’s attitude towards Janani Sivarajah’s opinion
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
10. Why are people prevented from foraging in some parks in Canada
A. Foraging can have bad effects on local wildlife.
B. Foraging causes local farmers to make less money.
C. Foraging often leads to people picking up some poisonous plants.
D. Foraging influences the development of Canada’s food systems.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why is foraging a valuable practice
B. The benefits and challenges of foraging
C. Methods of foraging for seaweed safely
D. Why is foraging becoming popular again

Researchers at Stanford University have used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) and brain scanning (扫描) technology to study the brain activity of students with math learning disabilities. This research aims to better understand the neurological (神经系统的) reasons behind these challenges, which affect one in five students in the United States.
The study built on years of research into how learning disabilities affect children’s brains. By using new AI tools, the team was able to explore these problems in greater detail. The study created “digital twins” — AI models that copy the brain activity of real students as they solve math problems.
The researchers tested 45 students, aged 7 to 9, including 21 with math learning disabilities. While the students solved basic addition and subtraction (减法) problems, their brain activity was tracked by a brain scanning machine. The AI models, or “digital twins”, were then trained to copy the students’ answers and brain activity.
The results were surprising. It turned out that the problem wasn’t too little brain activity, as many had thought, but too much. The students with learning disabilities showed signs of too much excitement in brain areas connected to math. The digital twins showed the same patterns, which means that too much neural activity could cause confusion in solving math problems.
The study suggests that students with learning disabilities may need more training to better their performance. The researchers hope that their “digital twins” can be used to create personalized learning plans for students, helping to design more effective educational programs.
However a researcher said that we cannot overread the results. The model needs refinement. There is more work to do, but it does point in some promising new directions for further research.
“The study makes us have a system to test targeted strategies before trying them in real classrooms,” Vinod Menon, a professor at Stanford, said. “That can speed up the ability to design effective educational programs and make real progress for kids with math learning disabilities.”
12. What is the purpose of the Stanford University study
A. To change the existing education system.
B. To teach students better math learning methods.
C. To raise solutions to challenges facing teachers.
D. To find out the neurological causes of math learning disabilities.
13. What were the students asked to do during the experiment
A. Design an AI model. B. Join a math club together.
C. Take notes about math. D. Work out math problems.
14. What does the underlined word “refinement” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Comments. B. Invention.
C. Improvement. D. Responsibilities.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the study
A. Its wide use. B. Its positive effects.
C. Its disadvantages. D. Its difficulties.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Elena felt a bit lonely during her first week at Westbrook High School. She carried her backpack through crowded hallways, surrounded by laughter and chatter, yet none of it belonged to her. At lunch she sat alone, staring at the clock, counting the minutes until she could leave.
One afternoon, her English teacher, Ms Carter, stopped by her desk. “You write well,” she said gently. “Have you thought about joining the Debate (辩论) Club Just come to listen.” Elena nodded uncertainly, though inside she felt nervous.
That Saturday she pushed open the library door where the club members met. A circle of students sat with notebooks open, voices bright and eager. Elena hid near the back, ready to leave, but Ms Carter noticed her and introduced her to Daniel and Priya, two members of the Debate Club.
The meeting began with a simple topic: Should school uniforms (校服) be required At first, Elena only listened. She heard arguments about fairness, freedom and so on. Then, almost without thinking, she raised her hand and shared her opinion that uniforms could reduce the pressure to wear expensive clothes, which might make school life fairer. To her surprise, others nodded and smiled. For the first time, she felt her words mattered.
Over the next few weeks, Elena returned every Saturday. Each time she spoke more, laughed more, and even started preparing notes ahead of time. The library, once a place of silence, became a place of excitement and energy. Daniel often encouraged her, while Priya patiently helped her polish her ideas. Slowly, Elena realized she was no longer invisible (隐形的). She was part of something bigger than herself.
One afternoon, Priya handed her a flyer (宣传单) for a debate competition. “We need a member,” she said. “Would you join us ” Elena hesitated. The thought of speaking in front of strangers terrified her. But when she looked at her new friends’ hopeful faces, she finally agreed.
注意：

Finally, the competition day arrived.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
For the next few days, Elena practiced with Daniel and Priya. They sat in the library after school, going over every possible argument for their topic. Daniel helped her fix the tone of her speech, while Priya taught her how to make eye contact and use hand gestures. Whenever Elena stumbled over her words, they never laughed — instead, they cheered her on. Terrified though she initially was, she gradually gained confidence through repeated practice.
Finally, the competition day arrived. Standing backstage, Elena’s hands shook, but she thought of her friends’ smiles. When it was her turn, she walked onto the stage steadily. As she spoke, she forgot her fear, focusing only on sharing her thoughts clearly. When she finished, the audience broke into applause. Later, their team won third place. “You were amazing!” Daniel shouted, hugging her. Elena grinned — she not only found her voice but also true friends. Westbrook High no longer felt like a lonely place; it felt like home.

阅读下列短文、从每题、所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
New York is a year-round city, with events happening every month. But when you’ve got limited vacation days, every moment of your trip counts. My advice: The best time to visit New York City (NYC) really depends on what you desire to see or do.
April
Spring is when New York shows its softer side. The weather is mild and the streets are calm — before the summer crowds come. In April, it feels like you have the city to yourself. After a long, cold winter being holed up in your apartment, you can walk through the park and watch the flowers bloom.
August
If you want to live like a New Yorker, head to Rockaway Beach, Queens, in August. This is where the locals escape the hot damp summer heat, especially when the Hamptons and Fire Island are too packed. Rockaway has a long stretch of sand, so you can take your pick. If you want to catch a wave, sign up for surf lessons at Locals Surf School.
September
September is the month that makes me fall in love with the city. It’s sunny and warm, and there are fewer crowds once the kids go back to school after Labor Day. Though there are signs of fall, mainly in the cooler nights, you don’t need to wear anything above a light sweater. This pleasant weather is ideal for a picnic in Brooklyn.
October
In October, the city becomes one big food festival. No really, there are open-air markets all across the five boroughs. If you want to try food from around the world, Queens Night Market should be at the top of your list. To see some cooks in action, get tickets to the New York City Wine & Food Festival that takes place in mid-October.
1. What does the author think is the key to choosing the best time to visit New York
A. Vacation length. B. Social customs.
C. Personal needs. D. Attractive events.
2. Which of the following make April in New York special
A. Its fewer crowds. B. Its cooler nights.
C. Its fun festivals. D. Its surf teams.
3. Who will probably enjoy October in New York most
A. Famous cooks. B. Food lovers. C. Beach goers. D. Sports players.
B

The results were surprising. It turned out that the problem wasn’t too little brain activity, as many had thought, but too much. The students with learning disabilities showed signs of too much excitement in brain areas connected to math. The digital twins showed the same patterns, which means that too much neural activity could cause confusion in solving math problems.
The study suggests that students with learning disabilities may need more training to better their performance. The researchers hope that their “digital twins” can be used to create personalized learning plans for students, helping to design more effective educational programs.
However a researcher said that we cannot overread the results. The model needs refinement. There is more work to do, but it does point in some promising new directions for further research.
“The study makes us have a system to test targeted strategies before trying them in real classrooms,” Vinod Menon, a professor at Stanford, said. “That can speed up the ability to design effective educational programs and make real progress for kids with math learning disabilities.”
12. What is the purpose of the Stanford University study
A. To change the existing education system.
B. To teach students better math learning methods.
C. To raise solutions to challenges facing teachers.
D. To find out the neurological causes of math learning disabilities.
13. What were the students asked to do during the experiment
A. Design an AI model. B. Join a math club together.
C. Take notes about math. D. Work out math problems.

A. Its wide use. B. Its positive effects.

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。
Elena felt a bit lonely during her first week at Westbrook High School. She carried her backpack through crowded hallways, surrounded by laughter and chatter, yet none of it belonged to her. At lunch she sat alone, staring at the clock, counting the minutes until she could leave.
One afternoon, her English teacher, Ms Carter, stopped by her desk. “You write well,” she said gently. “Have you thought about joining the Debate (辩论) Club Just come to listen.” Elena nodded uncertainly, though inside she felt nervous.
That Saturday she pushed open the library door where the club members met. A circle of students sat with notebooks open, voices bright and eager. Elena hid near the back, ready to leave, but Ms Carter noticed her and introduced her to Daniel and Priya, two members of the Debate Club.
The meeting began with a simple topic: Should school uniforms (校服) be required At first, Elena only listened. She heard arguments about fairness, freedom and so on. Then, almost without thinking, she raised her hand and shared her opinion that uniforms could reduce the pressure to wear expensive clothes, which might make school life fairer. To her surprise, others nodded and smiled. For the first time, she felt her words mattered.
Over the next few weeks, Elena returned every Saturday. Each time she spoke more, laughed more, and even started preparing notes ahead of time. The library, once a place of silence, became a place of excitement and energy. Daniel often encouraged her, while Priya patiently helped her polish her ideas. Slowly, Elena realized she was no longer invisible (隐形的). She was part of something bigger than herself.
One afternoon, Priya handed her a flyer (宣传单) for a debate competition. “We need a member,” she said. “Would you join us ” Elena hesitated. The thought of speaking in front of strangers terrified her. But when she looked at her new friends’ hopeful faces, she finally agreed.
注意：
（1） 续写词数应为150个左右；

For the next few days, Elena practiced with Daniel and Priya.

阅读下列短文、从每题、所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
New York is a year-round city, with events happening every month. But when you’ve got limited vacation days, every moment of your trip counts. My advice: The best time to visit New York City (NYC) really depends on what you desire to see or do.
April
Spring is when New York shows its softer side. The weather is mild and the streets are calm — before the summer crowds come. In April, it feels like you have the city to yourself. After a long, cold winter being holed up in your apartment, you can walk through the park and watch the flowers bloom.
August
If you want to live like a New Yorker, head to Rockaway Beach, Queens, in August. This is where the locals escape the hot damp summer heat, especially when the Hamptons and Fire Island are too packed. Rockaway has a long stretch of sand, so you can take your pick. If you want to catch a wave, sign up for surf lessons at Locals Surf School.
September
September is the month that makes me fall in love with the city. It’s sunny and warm, and there are fewer crowds once the kids go back to school after Labor Day. Though there are signs of fall, mainly in the cooler nights, you don’t need to wear anything above a light sweater. This pleasant weather is ideal for a picnic in Brooklyn.
October
In October, the city becomes one big food festival. No really, there are open-air markets all across the five boroughs. If you want to try food from around the world, Queens Night Market should be at the top of your list. To see some cooks in action, get tickets to the New York City Wine & Food Festival that takes place in mid-October.
1. What does the author think is the key to choosing the best time to visit New York
A. Vacation length. B. Social customs.
C. Personal needs. D. Attractive events.
2. Which of the following make April in New York special
A. Its fewer crowds. B. Its cooler nights.
C. Its fun festivals. D. Its surf teams.
3. Who will probably enjoy October in New York most
A. Famous cooks. B. Food lovers. C. Beach goers. D. Sports players.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
B
In 2008, a big wildfire called the Freeway Complex Fire broke out in Orange County. Friedrich and her husband had to act quickly to save animals from the fire. They roped pigs and helped guide frightened horses into trailers to move them to safety. They should have rescued (营救) all their neighbors’ horses, but the fire was getting closer.
That experience made Friedrich realize that there wasn’t a good rescue plan in place. In response, horse owners in Orange County formed the Large Animal Rescue Team (LART) in 2008. The group helped save horses and other animals from wildfires. Friedrich joined the team in 2009.
However, because of limited resources and fewer volunteers, the group recently decided to only operate within San Juan Capistrano, the city where it is based. This means that horse owners in nearby areas, like Yorba Linda, will no longer have support during fires. This decision has caused concern among people who live outside the city.
The idea of a local animal rescue team is not unique to Orange County, but this is the first time an organization has reduced its coverage in this way. In the past, volunteers traveled from different areas to help during emergencies (紧急情况). Now, that support is limited.
Although LART was praised for its success in rescuing animals, during one fire, there were problems with communication, which caused delays (延迟). The county recognized the team’s hard work during the 2020 fire season, but there were still issues with how the rescue efforts were managed.
With fewer volunteers, LART would no longer manage the program after January 1. Orange County has not yet shown interest in taking over the program. “For now, local horse owners are turning to other strategies (策略) and working to be prepared for emergencies. We understand that it’s important to be ready before fires strike,” says Friedrich.
4. How did the experience in 2008 affect Friedrich
A. She gave up efforts to rescue wild animals. B. She realized the need for a better rescue plan.
C. She sold all the pigs and horses on her farm. D. She dropped out of a local animal rescue team.
5. Why did LART decide to operate only within San Juan Capistrano
A. It was short of hands. B. It wasted much money in a fire rescue.
C. Neighboring areas had similar rescue teams. D. Fire risks in other areas had greatly been reduced.
6. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The new goals LART will set. B. The achievements LART made.
C. The problems facing LART. D. The national support for LART.
7. What have local horse owners probably been doing according to Friedrich
A Providing food for families in need. B. Waiting for the rescue team to return.
C. Holding activities to train volunteers. D. Looking for other solutions to wildfires.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
C
On a warm April evening on England’s Jurassic Coast, I joined a seaweed foraging course. Our guide, Dan Scott, taught us about the different parts of seaweed, how to harvest it sustainably by cutting without killing the plant, and which types are safe to eat. The experience made me think: Does foraging help us reconnect with nature, and is it good for the planet
Foraging can create a deep connection to nature. Janani Sivarajah, a researcher on city foraging, says it brings people together, connects people to the land, and brings people back to their roots. Dan Scott agrees, believing that teaching people about edible plants makes them more likely to protect nature while foraging.
Foraging is the oldest way of getting food and is becoming very popular again. It is common among people who care about the environment and want to avoid pesticides and industrial food systems. However, its popularity has led to rules in some US national parks to limit how much people can gather.
The effect of foraging on the environment is complicated. Foraging can use up local resources that wildlife needs, particularly when it is done to sell for money. Laws show these worries, so foraging is not allowed in some Canadian parks, and the UK’s National Trust warns against taking too much. Sustainable foraging means taking only small amounts for yourself. But Dan Scott admits that if thousands of people foraged on the beach, it would not be sustainable.
Health risks are another important thing to think about. Sivarajah warns that plants in cities can absorb harmful metals from car pollution. Seaweed has high levels of substances like arsenic and lead. The biggest danger, however, comes from picking the wrong thing. For example, he is very clear that looking for mushrooms needs learning from an expert, not just books, because deadly poisonous types exist. His advice is joining a group and learning from experienced people.
8. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A. By listing numbers.
B. By answering some questions.
C. Through a brief comparison.
D. Through a personal experience.
9. What is Dan Scott’s attitude towards Janani Sivarajah’s opinion
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
10. Why are people prevented from foraging in some parks in Canada
A. Foraging can have bad effects on local wildlife.
B. Foraging causes local farmers to make less money.
C. Foraging often leads to people picking up some poisonous plants.
D. Foraging influences the development of Canada’s food systems.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why is foraging a valuable practice
B. The benefits and challenges of foraging
C. Methods of foraging for seaweed safely
D. Why is foraging becoming popular again
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
D
Researchers at Stanford University have used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) and brain scanning (扫描) technology to study the brain activity of students with math learning disabilities. This research aims to better understand the neurological (神经系统的) reasons behind these challenges, which affect one in five students in the United States.
The study built on years of research into how learning disabilities affect children’s brains. By using new AI tools, the team was able to explore these problems in greater detail. The study created “digital twins” — AI models that copy the brain activity of real students as they solve math problems.
The researchers tested 45 students, aged 7 to 9, including 21 with math learning disabilities. While the students solved basic addition and subtraction (减法) problems, their brain activity was tracked by a brain scanning machine. The AI models, or “digital twins”, were then trained to copy the students’ answers and brain activity.
The results were surprising. It turned out that the problem wasn’t too little brain activity, as many had thought, but too much. The students with learning disabilities showed signs of too much excitement in brain areas connected to math. The digital twins showed the same patterns, which means that too much neural activity could cause confusion in solving math problems.
The study suggests that students with learning disabilities may need more training to better their performance. The researchers hope that their “digital twins” can be used to create personalized learning plans for students, helping to design more effective educational programs.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Elena felt a bit lonely during her first week at Westbrook High School. She carried her backpack through crowded hallways, surrounded by laughter and chatter, yet none of it belonged to her. At lunch she sat alone, staring at the clock, counting the minutes until she could leave.
One afternoon, her English teacher, Ms Carter, stopped by her desk. “You write well,” she said gently. “Have you thought about joining the Debate (辩论) Club Just come to listen.” Elena nodded uncertainly, though inside she felt nervous.
That Saturday she pushed open the library door where the club members met. A circle of students sat with notebooks open, voices bright and eager. Elena hid near the back, ready to leave, but Ms Carter noticed her and introduced her to Daniel and Priya, two members of the Debate Club.
The meeting began with a simple topic: Should school uniforms (校服) be required At first, Elena only listened. She heard arguments about fairness, freedom and so on. Then, almost without thinking, she raised her hand and shared her opinion that uniforms could reduce the pressure to wear expensive clothes, which might make school life fairer. To her surprise, others nodded and smiled. For the first time, she felt her words mattered.
Over the next few weeks, Elena returned every Saturday. Each time she spoke more, laughed more, and even started preparing notes ahead of time. The library, once a place of silence, became a place of excitement and energy. Daniel often encouraged her, while Priya patiently helped her polish her ideas. Slowly, Elena realized she was no longer invisible (隐形的). She was part of something bigger than herself.
One afternoon, Priya handed her a flyer (宣传单) for a debate competition. “We need a member,” she said. “Would you join us ” Elena hesitated. The thought of speaking in front of strangers terrified her. But when she looked at her new friends’ hopeful faces, she finally agreed.

【答案】
For the next few days, Elena practiced with Daniel and Priya. They sat in the library after school, going over every possible argument for their topic. Daniel helped her fix the tone of her speech, while Priya taught her how to make eye contact and use hand gestures. Whenever Elena stumbled over her words, they never laughed — instead, they cheered her on. Terrified though she initially was, she gradually gained confidence through repeated practice.
Finally, the competition day arrived. Standing backstage, Elena’s hands shook, but she thought of her friends’ smiles. When it was her turn, she walked onto the stage steadily. As she spoke, she forgot her fear, focusing only on sharing her thoughts clearly. When she finished, the audience broke into applause. Later, their team won third place. “You were amazing!” Daniel shouted, hugging her. Elena grinned — she not only found her voice but also true friends. Westbrook High no longer felt like a lonely place; it felt like home.
