Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
So， I did it. I moved back home， despite all the disapproval. I left my good job， my relationship， and the endless opportunities.
Some people questioned me， “Why did you move back？” It was hard at first to admit that I liked being home， and that， actually， I didn’t prefer New York City(as so many people do). But after time， it became easier and less of an issue. And when they asked me why I moved back home， I confidently said， “Because I wanted to.” Many people welcomed me back into the community.
The first few months home were the most relaxing of my life. Every day I wake up to birds chirping， and sunlight coming in from the window－no traffic sounds or people screaming on the streets. It sounds like a Disney movie， but it’s so true！ There is something about the air here－it’s clean. It smells good. I can also see the Grand Mesa(the largest flat－top mountain in the world) from my bedroom window. My work commute(通勤) is a four－minute car ride. And on summer nights， my favorite thing to do is watch the sunset from my porch because it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
I’ve been home for almost three years now， much to the surprise of my friends and family. Some friends even made bets with me on how long “this” would last. So far， I’m winning. But since I’ve been home my life has flourished. I realized that home， for me， is a place that inspires me. Because before， in the city， I felt like I had to compete with everyone to get ahead. Many times， forgetting what I was “fighting” for， I was clouded in competition and not passion. I lost touch with the other parts of myself， never quite realizing that the quiet country life provided that to me.
By coming home， I found myself again， the true me. I didn’t expect a city to give me opportunities because I could make my own.

At just seven years old， Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation. It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2 class. Today， the 18－year－old student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep－seated desire to use technology to decode(解码) real－world problems.
In 2021， she co－developed Megaphone， one of her first apps， to tackle unanswered post－class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem－solving ability kept building from there.
When she took online CPR classes， she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy－a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Student Challenge－which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award， Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook， a highlight in her young career， but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal(神坛)，” she says.
Angelina also built an app called Lilac， designed to assist non－English－speaking single parents with resources for housing， job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the U. S.
When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16， she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support， which encouraged her to create yet another app， Pilot Fast Track， which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.
Looking to the future， besides applying to colleges with great labs， Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics－combining computer science， electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
“There’s not enough optimism in the world，” she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end， it is a mindset， and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.”
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个名叫Angelina Tsuboi的年轻创新者如何将7岁时对创新的热情转化为解决现实世界问题的技术的故事。

Carl Allamby started his car repair business at the tender age of 19. Over the years， it had grown into two shops with 11 workers， but Allamby had become uneasy， longing for something more. Therefore， at the age of 34， he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management.
After taking classes part－time over the next five years， Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree， which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself.
Born in East Cleveland， Ohio， Allamby was raised by his stay－at－home mother and a father who sold home goods door－to－door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed(医学预科的) path. Even if it had， doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd(讨厌的人)，” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.
But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes. Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead， he reasoned. But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him “Why not a doctor？ You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” The professor was right and Allamby did very well.
In 2015， Allamby cut ties with his past， and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019， Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby， MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.
“How many people can do something so brand－new at such a late stage in their life？” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet， here I am.”
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了出身贫寒的Carl Allamby在年近50岁的时候克服重重困难，实现了自己儿时的医生梦。
9. Why was taking biology “the best thing that ever happened” to Allamby？
A. It ensured him a bachelor’s degree.
B. It developed his potential to become a doctor.
C. It brought about positive transition in his life.
D. It satisfied his childhood curiosity about doctors.
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段“In 2015， Allamby cut ties with his past， and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019， Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby， MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.(在2015年，Allamby与他的过去断绝了联系，然后他开始在东北俄亥俄医科大学工作。2019年，Carl Allamby成为Carl Allamby医学博士。他在克利夫兰诊所阿克伦总医院找到了一份急诊医学工作。)”可推知，学生物学对Allamby来说是“发生过的最好的事情”是因为这给他的生活带来了积极的转变。故选C项。
答案：C
10. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 3？
A. To describe Allamby’s difficulty in school.
B. To introduce Allamby’s family background.
C. To explain why Allamby once gave up his dream.
D. To show how Allamby struggled in his childhood.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Born in East Cleveland， Ohio， Allamby was raised by his stay－at－home mother and a father who sold home goods door－to－door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed(医学预科的) path. Even if it had， doing well in school could prove dangerous. 'You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd(讨厌的人)，' Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.(Allamby出生在俄亥俄州的东克利夫兰，他的母亲是全职主妇，父亲是挨家挨户推销家居用品的。
他的学校没有提供可能让他走上医学预科之路的高级科学课程。即便如此，在学校表现良好也可能是危险的。”如果你只是班里的书呆子，你可能会惹上很多麻烦。“Allamby说。所以他把当医生的念头搁在一边，开始修车。)”可推知，作者写第三段的目的是来解释为什么Allamby曾经放弃了他的梦想。故选C项。
答案：C
11. What do we know from the chemistry professor’s words？
A. He appreciated Allamby’s courage.
B. He recognized Allamby’s capability.
C. He suggested Allamby should aim lower.
D. He thought Allamby was too old to be a doctor.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him 'Why not a doctor？ You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.'(但是Allamby的化学教授告诉他：”为什么不去当医生呢？你对这项工作很有天赋。你会大有作为的。“)”可知，从化学教授的话中我们知道他认识到了Allamby的能力。故选B项。
答案：B
12. What does Allamby’s story mainly tell us？
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Education holds the key to success.
C. A tough man can bear great suffering.
D. It’s never too late to pursue your dream.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“'How many people can do something so brand－new at such a late stage in their life？' he said. 'My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet， here I am.'(”有多少人能在生命的晚期做一些如此全新的事情？“他说。”我的年龄和过去的职业生涯都是我不应该在这里的好理由。然而，我却在这里。)”可推知，Allamby的故事主要告诉了我们追求梦想永远都不晚。故选D项。
答案：D
Ⅱ.七选五
Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower？ You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist， making your throat(喉咙) feel wet. 1 You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at band. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance(共鸣).
Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting， stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm－up， you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake， you may be drinking coffee， which can make you thirsty. 2 While singing along to the radio， your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car.
From my personal experience， I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 3 This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws， even slower ones that they wouldn’t see in a real game.
4 To warm up， I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blah”. Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning， imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand. 5
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. You are standing up straight.
C. You are loudly clearing your throat.
D. Poor training may lead to poor results.
E. The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense.
F. After all， an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it was bent.
G. I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了在不同条件下练习唱歌的感受，由此引出在合适的条件下练习非常重要。
答案：B
1.解析：空前提到洗澡时唱歌感觉令人满意的原因，例如独处、温暖、湿润的空气等。空后描述你在洗澡时既放松又因为水而充满活力，沉浸在手头的简单任务中。B项“你正挺直身子站立。”作为段中句，提及了站立姿势，这与洗澡时放松的状态形成呼应，暗示了正确的姿势可能是唱歌时感觉良好的一个因素，符合语境。故选B项。
答案：E
2.解析：空前提到在开车时唱歌的不舒适，如安全带限制了气流、没有热身、空气较干、你被咖啡弄得口渴等，而空后提到你随着收音机唱歌，你的声音可能会消失在歌曲和车辆噪声中，因此空处应与开车唱歌感觉不舒适有关，E项“驾驶和保持安全的压力使你感到紧张。”符合语境。故选E项。
答案：D
3.解析：空前讲到作者认识到专注以及在练习时设置正确条件的重要性。空后举例一些人反对棒球运动员在比赛前练习击球的原因，D项“质量低的训练可能导致糟糕的结果。”总结了练习的质量对结果的重要性，与空前空后的内容形成逻辑上的衔接。故选D项。
答案：G
4.解析：本空位于段首，应是这一段的主旨句。空后提到为了热身，作者练习深呼吸和放松舌头，并通过打哈欠来张大嘴巴。G项“I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am.”作为段首句，表达了作者想要在任何练习环境中重现洗澡时唱歌的愉快感觉，能够引出下文对具体热身练习的描述。故选G项。
答案：F
5.解析：上文讲述了作者在练习唱歌前会调整站姿，体现了正确练习姿势的重要性。F项“毕竟，如果一把竖直的吉他弯曲了，它的声音就不会正确。”以吉他为例，说明了保持正确姿势对声音效果的重要性，与上文作者调整练习姿势的内容呼应。故选F项。

D. To show how Allamby struggled in his childhood.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Born in East Cleveland， Ohio， Allamby was raised by his stay－at－home mother and a father who sold home goods door－to－door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed(医学预科的) path. Even if it had， doing well in school could prove dangerous. 'You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd(讨厌的人)，' Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.(Allamby出生在俄亥俄州的东克利夫兰，他的母亲是全职主妇，父亲是挨家挨户推销家居用品的。
他的学校没有提供可能让他走上医学预科之路的高级科学课程。即便如此，在学校表现良好也可能是危险的。”如果你只是班里的书呆子，你可能会惹上很多麻烦。“Allamby说。所以他把当医生的念头搁在一边，开始修车。)”可推知，作者写第三段的目的是来解释为什么Allamby曾经放弃了他的梦想。故选C项。
答案：C

A. He appreciated Allamby’s courage.
B. He recognized Allamby’s capability.
C. He suggested Allamby should aim lower.

答案：B
12. What does Allamby’s story mainly tell us？
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Education holds the key to success.
C. A tough man can bear great suffering.
D. It’s never too late to pursue your dream.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“'How many people can do something so brand－new at such a late stage in their life？' he said. 'My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet， here I am.'(”有多少人能在生命的晚期做一些如此全新的事情？“他说。”我的年龄和过去的职业生涯都是我不应该在这里的好理由。然而，我却在这里。)”可推知，Allamby的故事主要告诉了我们追求梦想永远都不晚。故选D项。
答案：D
Ⅱ.七选五
Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower？ You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist， making your throat(喉咙) feel wet. 1 You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at band. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance(共鸣).
Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting， stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm－up， you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake， you may be drinking coffee， which can make you thirsty. 2 While singing along to the radio， your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car.
From my personal experience， I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 3 This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws， even slower ones that they wouldn’t see in a real game.
4 To warm up， I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blah”. Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning， imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand. 5
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. You are standing up straight.
C. You are loudly clearing your throat.
D. Poor training may lead to poor results.
E. The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense.
F. After all， an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it was bent.
G. I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了在不同条件下练习唱歌的感受，由此引出在合适的条件下练习非常重要。
答案：B
1.解析：空前提到洗澡时唱歌感觉令人满意的原因，例如独处、温暖、湿润的空气等。空后描述你在洗澡时既放松又因为水而充满活力，沉浸在手头的简单任务中。B项“你正挺直身子站立。”作为段中句，提及了站立姿势，这与洗澡时放松的状态形成呼应，暗示了正确的姿势可能是唱歌时感觉良好的一个因素，符合语境。故选B项。
答案：E
2.解析：空前提到在开车时唱歌的不舒适，如安全带限制了气流、没有热身、空气较干、你被咖啡弄得口渴等，而空后提到你随着收音机唱歌，你的声音可能会消失在歌曲和车辆噪声中，因此空处应与开车唱歌感觉不舒适有关，E项“驾驶和保持安全的压力使你感到紧张。”符合语境。故选E项。
答案：D
3.解析：空前讲到作者认识到专注以及在练习时设置正确条件的重要性。空后举例一些人反对棒球运动员在比赛前练习击球的原因，D项“质量低的训练可能导致糟糕的结果。”总结了练习的质量对结果的重要性，与空前空后的内容形成逻辑上的衔接。故选D项。
答案：G
4.解析：本空位于段首，应是这一段的主旨句。空后提到为了热身，作者练习深呼吸和放松舌头，并通过打哈欠来张大嘴巴。G项“I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am.”作为段首句，表达了作者想要在任何练习环境中重现洗澡时唱歌的愉快感觉，能够引出下文对具体热身练习的描述。故选G项。
答案：F
5.解析：上文讲述了作者在练习唱歌前会调整站姿，体现了正确练习姿势的重要性。F项“毕竟，如果一把竖直的吉他弯曲了，它的声音就不会正确。”以吉他为例，说明了保持正确姿势对声音效果的重要性，与上文作者调整练习姿势的内容呼应。故选F项。
