语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国遗产专家的一项发现:17世纪的贵族女性戴安娜·塞西尔的肖像画曾被修复者修改以增强其美貌特征,这暗示了现代审美标准可能并非如我们所想的那样现代,而是存在历史循环的现象。
9.C 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,专家发现修复者对戴安娜·塞西尔的肖像进行了修改,这表明现代审美标准并非如我们所想的那样现代,而是存在历史循环的现象。由此可推知,专家的发现表明过去的审美标准可能在现代会得到重复。
10.A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知,后来的修复者对戴安娜·塞西尔的肖像进行了改动,包括增大嘴唇尺寸和降低发际线以减小额头大小。由此可推知,原始画像并未完全满足修复者对于美的期望。

15.G 空前一句强调想象最坏的情况并接受它。G项承接上文,指出以现实和乐观的态度处理并接受事情的结果,符合语境。
16.D 根据so when you focus on what is good, the negative thoughts will have to take a back seat可知,此处强调把注意力集中在好的方面时,消极的想法就会被抛到脑后。D项(同时有两种相反的想法是很难的)引起下文,符合语境。

In an English class discussion about the beauty filter function on smartphones, diverse opinions emerged among us.
Some argue that the beauty filter enhances one’s appearance and boosts one’s self-confidence.However, others think that excessive use of beauty filters can develop unrealistic beauty standards and distort people’s perception of their own natural beauty.
As far as I’m concerned, while beauty filters can be fun to use occasionally, it’s crucial to recognize that true beauty lies in embracing our distinctive features.By celebrating our individuality, we can cultivate a genuine sense of self-confidence that radiates from within.

13.E 根据第一段第二至三句可知,获得改变世界的科学突破需要什么呢?有些是幸运的意外加上好奇心的结果。E项(其他重大突破源于科学家对特定想法的追求)与第一段相呼应,符合语境。
14.F 本段主要讲科学家对特定想法的追求可能会取得改变世界的科学突破,所以在讲完科学家对特定想法的追求可能产生的不良结果后,还需说明可能产生的有价值的结果(这是重点)。F项(但有时这条路会带来重大突破,如X光和疫苗)与上句构成转折关系,与前面“一无所获”的结果相反,符合语境。
15.D 上文介绍了弗莱明发现青霉素,卡里科使所有mRNA疫苗成为可能,通过实现自己的梦想,这些科学家获得了名利和更宝贵的东西。D项(因为他们,全世界数百万人避免了生病或死亡)符合语境。
16.B 空前一句谈到:对许多科学家来说,痴迷于一个不太可能实现的梦并没有得到回报,空后两句谈到:结果是大自然并不会像他们预测的那样运转。最终,他们美好的理论被残酷的事实扼杀。B项(他们的想法虽然很棒,但最终被证明是错误的)与上下文关系密切,符合语境。
17.G 根据空前一句可知,归根结底,只有社会愿意投资于梦想家,认识到并非所有的投资都会带来重大突破,科学突破才有可能实现;根据空后一句可知,最重要的是,投资可以防止痛苦和死亡,并改变世界。G项(然而,带来突破的投资会带来更大的经济回报)符合语境,与空前一句形成转折,同时,与下文形成递进关系。

5.B 词义猜测题。第二段列举了Isaac Newton的两个实验,在第一个实验中,为了测试光线如何穿过透镜,他把一根长针插进眼睛,推到后面,然后移动它,看看会发生什么,结果是Luckily, nothing long-lasting did.。在第二个实验中,他久久地盯着太阳,想看看这对他的视力有什么影响,根据画线词所在句可知,Isaac Newton不得不在一间黑暗的房间里待上几天,直到他的眼睛恢复,说明他的眼睛避免了遭受永久性的伤害。结合本句中的Again可知,permanent与上文中的long-lasting对应,意为“永久的”。
6.C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知,他是一位非常聪明的科学家,但他的一个缺点是有一个好奇的习惯,即对他所研究的每一种物质都要尝一些。这种危险的做法终于产生了问题。1786年,他被发现死在实验室里,周围有大量的危险化学品,任何一种化学品都有可能导致他的死亡。由此可推测,Carl Scheele喜欢品尝化学物质的习惯可能是他死亡的原因。

11.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Masters in the Forbidden City, brought the profession into the national consciousness ...As a result, in 2017, Qi got two apprentices (学徒) and Wang got three.可知,这个电视纪录片为人们揭开了这项工作的神秘面纱,让更多的人了解了这项工作并参与其中。因此Masters in the Forbidden City揭露了鲜为人知的职业——古钟表修复。
12.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,亓昊楠认为随着关注度的提升,古钟表修复的未来是光明的。promising前景很好的;unpredictable不可预测的;declining越来越少的;stable稳定的。

18.C Joe在替补席上坐了三年却没有上场的机会,这说明教练不看好他,认为他没有潜力。chance机会;resource资源;potential潜力;enthusiasm热情。
19.B 根据上文He applied to several colleges和下文Then he applied to Louisiana State University可知,这里表示他向内布拉斯加州大学提出申请。sign up for报名(参加课程);apply to向……申请;attend to处理,照料;search for寻找。

We started to meet regularly to draw up our panion as I was in the project, I still had no sense of participating in the project.My teammate kept his brain occupied in developing the hypothesis, setting up an experiment to test it, and running the tests alone, leaving me just standing beside him as if I were a fool.“What a dull project it is!” I murmured to myself.However, something changed gradually, as I became aware what the tactile-kinesthetic perception of space meant.Thanks to the intense, fiercely competitive, singularly serious fellow, the whole procedure went smoothly, close to the final stage.
One day in the middle of our project, I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. Without any delay, I packed up my schoolbag, took all the experiment statistics and rushed to the hospital.Seeing the pale fellow wearing pure white clothes instead of the annoying dark clothes, I felt a sense of sympathy and mercy welling up in my heart.With his guidance, I finished the statistical analysis and presented the findings.It turned out to be such an amazing and persuasive study that my teammate and I did win the best grade.Now, we have been most reliable cooperative partners ever since!

10.A 推理判断题。通读第二段可知,人们相信特洛伊战争是真实发生过的,这一点并不奇怪。由荷马创作的古希腊史诗《伊利亚特》描述了残酷的战争场景,那些描述如此果敢,让人很难相信它们不是基于观察来进行描写的。荷马对特洛伊古城的描述非常生动,仿佛把读者带入了这座古城。由此推知,《伊利亚特》中描述的特洛伊战争故事太过逼真。

18.D 上文提到她请求政府准许把这些书移到一个安全的地方,但是他们拒绝了。所以她应该是秘密地做转移书的事情。fortunately幸运地;surprisingly令人惊讶地;seriously严肃地;secretly秘密地。
19.D 根据上文Her friends came to help her when the war broke out.可知,她的朋友来帮助她。由此可推断,Anis同意帮助她藏一些书。并且下文提到他们把书从图书馆里运出来,然后藏到餐馆里。intend打算;pretend假装;happen发生;agree同意。

25.D 下文提到她把书转移到郊区的朋友家,由此可推断出,此处应该是书被再次移动。sell卖;read读;save拯救;move移动。
26.C 根据上文One day, the bombing stopped and the 24 left.可知,轰炸停止了,士兵们离开了,城市此时应该是安静的。occupied被占领的;bombed烂醉如泥的;quiet安静的;busy忙碌的。
27.A 根据上文可知,一场大火把图书馆夷为平地,所以她一定是梦想着和平和一个新图书馆。dream of梦想;believe in相信;care about关心;look for寻找。

6.D 推理判断题。根据第二段首句以及该段最后一句可知,库克船长的记录是片面的。
7.B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的a history told through things gives them back a voice和本段最后两句可知,only one half of a dialogue与other half of that conversation呼应,共同构成更客观的历史全貌。由此可知,conversation指的是历史。
8.C 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,本文讲述的重点是强调历史实物考证的重要性,故本文最可能选自《100件实物中的世界历史》。
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人类是否能够防范战争的问题。

1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知,祖母给了Taylor一个银盒子,里面装着父母从高中到1945年的大约450封手写信件。由此可推知,Taylor的父母过去经常给对方写信。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,随着柏林墙的倒塌,Taylor有可能参观潜在的坠机地点。由此可知,一开始德国还没有统一,这阻止了Taylor寻找父亲的遗骸。
3.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,Taylor广泛地分享了她的故事,提高了人们对那些永远不会从战争中回来的士兵以及找回士兵遗骸工作的重要性的认识。据估计,仍有81,000名在过去战争中死亡的美国军人的遗体下落不明,但幸运的是,人们一直在努力寻找阵亡军人,并为他们的家人带来安慰。由此可推知,Taylor想让别人知道她的故事是因为她想证明找回英雄遗骸的可能性。

5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的the root of the conflict we are trying to address is much deeper and needs to include more people in the conversations 可知,学校在调解过程中发现冲突通常不仅仅涉及学生本人,还可能涉及其他家庭成员。因此,需要拓展对话范围以深入解决冲突根源。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的During the beginning parts of the mediation, some of the adults in the room started to become heated and defensive ...a grandmother and one of the moms.可知,在调解初期,房间里的一些成年人情绪激动,都在为自己的孩子辩解。一场冲突在一位祖母和一位妈妈之间发生了。由此可推知,那位祖母和那位妈妈当时都很生气。
7.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的They left the room together and as the adults watched from the window, they hugged each other and apologized.可知,孩子们走出房间后,模仿着大人们的样子,相拥在一起并向彼此道歉。
8.B 标题归纳题。根据最后一段并结合文中的案例可知,本文意在传达:成年人的言行举止会对青少年产生重要的影响。成年人应该以身作则,通过示范告诉年轻人如何正确解决冲突,从而在潜移默化中改变他们的行为方式。因此B项为本文的最佳标题。

Seeing Charlie won first prize in 100 meters, Bill felt very bad and then made a decision. Soon it was the time for the sack race. Bill showed up on the track early, thinking he would spare no effort in this game to beat Charlie. When the race began, Bill glanced at Charlie next to him and said,“I will beat you definitely.” Then Bill jumped forward with all his strength at his first attempt. Slowly Charlie was left behind, but suddenly Bill tripped and fell onto the ground.When Charlie came to him, he found Bill’s ankle was bleeding and he couldn’t get up.
Charlie then took Bill to the school doctor who tended his injured leg. Charlie didn’t go back and gave up the race at last. Looking at Charlie, Bill lowered his head full of shame. After a while, he opened his mouth and said sincerely,“I’m sorry. I know I was wrong and beg for your forgiveness.” Charlie responded immediately with a smile,“From today on we will be friends forever.” So since that day Bill has changed completely.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I am a Canadian artist living in Victoria. My work focuses on peace. My art helps me find answers, or at least deal with some of the worrying realities of the modern day.
My trips to Baghdad standing for peace caused huge stress for my family and me. It took a few years before I was able to come to accept that whole experience and work out how to continue to work as an artist.I put my energy into creating natural art facilities that awoke a sense of peace in myself and others. I set up my first project in a large field, using a simple parent-child design. I later did two similar, small works, one in Scotland and the other in Baghdad.
I wanted to create something more permanent (长久的), however, and so I created the Peace Image in Hudson’s Hope. It can’t be seen very well on the ground these days, because the locals just loved riding over the large piles of dirt. I don’t mind that at all. The Peace Image still turns up well from the air and on Google Maps though.
For more than 50 years now, I’ve felt pleased to be able to express myself through my art. In the autumn of 2013, I was encouraged to lead the creation of a Peace Garden art project at Woodwynn Farms in Central Saanich. After everything we had been through, it was such a gift to work closely with my wife, Elizabeth Wellburn, a talented artist. It was and still is a labour of love.
1.What made the author suffer from great pressure?( )
A.His lack of enough money.
B.Some worrying realities.
C.The failure of his first project.
D.His strong support for peace.
2.Why did the author create the Peace Image?( )
A.To produce a more lasting thing.
B.To raise people’s awareness of peace.
C.To make people remember him.
D.To satisfy local people’s requirements.
3.How does the author feel about his own artistic works?( )
A.Doubtful. B.Discouraged.
C.Satisfied. D.Confident.
4.What is a suitable title for the text?( )
A.An Artist Concentrating on Peace Design
B.The Life Story of a Canadian Artist
C.Artistic Works Meaning a Labour of Love
D.An Unforgettable Experience
B
If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.
5.What is the first paragraph mainly about?( )
A.How past events should be presented.
B.What humanity is concerned about.
C.Whether facts speak louder than words.
D.Why written language is reliable.
6.What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in Paragraph 2?( )
A.His report was scientific.
B.He represented the local people.
C.He ruled over Botany Bay.
D.His record was one-sided.
7.What does the underlined word “conversation” in Paragraph 3 refer to?( )
A.Problem. B.History.
C.Voice. D.Society.
8.Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?( )
A.How Maps Tell Stories of the World
B.A Short History of Australia
C.A History of the World in 100 Objects
D.How Art Works Tell Stories
C
Is war unavoidable?Can war be prevented?
History tells that there were wars, great or small, in every century, in every decade.Throughout the ages, from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age, men have been fighting, first with swords and shields (盾), then with guns and cannons, and now, hydrogen bombs and missiles are used for military purposes.But, in spite of all these, it is still my belief that war can be prevented and peace can be won, but it requires the effort of every one of us.
I am sure that we would not like to experience another world war.If it ever happens, two-thirds of the world and much of the civilisation which men have gained through time, patience and effort will be destroyed.Will then the remaining one-third of the world be able to survive on its own?
Our task now is not to blame the past, but to plan for the future.
If there is peace in the world, men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space, their submarines to explore the depth of the sea, their missiles to deliver mails and their fine equipment to penetrate (穿透) the jungles of Africa, instead of using them militarily.
Governments can use their money to build more schools, so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens.Scientists can use atomic energy to propel (推动) steamships and planes.They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of living of the people.
How can a peaceful world be achieved?It requires, in my opinion, the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations.Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of colour, race, religion, or national origin.Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.
We know that neither peace nor such a dream world can come true in a day or a month.It may even take decades or centuries.But let us plan and begin now.

Do you know some surprising innovations that came from World War Ⅰ? Here are some introductions.
Daylight Saving Time
The idea of fiddling (不停摆弄) with the clock has been around since ancient times, but it was not until World WarⅠ that governments around the globe officially adopted daylight saving time. Why? To save resources such as fuel and extend the workday for the war effort. 13.( ), and the Allies followed shortly after. To clear up confusion about the concept, a newspaper used a comic strip to explain the first “spring forward” in the United States in 1918.
Blood Banks
14.( ), but doctors barely performed them before World War Ⅰ, when they were accomplished by transfusing blood directly from one person to another. Captain Oswald Robertson, a US Army Reserve doctor consulting with the British army, recognized the need to stock blood before casualties(伤员) emerged.
Hollywood
With so much of Europe in the gunfire, the European film industry had to scale back (缩减) dramatically.15.( ). Hollywood was still in its early stage, but its studios soon made fortunes producing wartime movies. The war itself provided material for countless movies in the 1920s and 1930s, including Wings, the winner of the first Academy Awards.
Plastic Surgery
16.( ). British army surgeon Harold Gillies and his colleagues performed more than 11,000 operations, mostly on soldiers suffering from facial wounds from gunshots. 17.( ).
There were other innovations made during World WarⅠ, such as wristwatches, modern passports, zippers, drones, etc.
A.The Germans did it first in 1916
B.That opened the door for the Americans
C.Blood transfusions (输血) date back to the 1600s
D.Gillies’ operation became successful immediately
E.World War Ⅰ left thousands of men scarred and maimed
F.Gillies became known as the father of modern plastic surgery
G.After World WarⅠ the blood banks appeared in the United States

Kateryna Shcherbyna has been worried since the war broke out.As a horse owner and trainer, she saw that her horses were having trouble getting grain and hay (草料). “The problem that arose with the beginning of the war was the delivery of horses’ feed,” Shcherbyna tells Treehugger, a website. “It’s hard to have all the year stock of hay at the place; the land is quite expensive around here.”
Typically, stables (马房) keep their feed as distantly as 250 miles from the barn (棚舍). “That’s why it was impossible to bring a big truck with the feed to our area during the war. It was dangerous because of the bombs and an enormous number of block posts everywhere,” she says.
Shcherbyna came up with an idea to get a small bus to at least bring small amounts of feed to each stable. A friend brought her a minibus. Then, she drove almost every day to bring hay and grain from the stock not far from her home to the stables she was able to reach.
Besides, Shcherbyna created Help Ukrainian Horses, a Facebook group where people could ask for or offer assistance. While volunteers were able to help the animals that were still in stables, there were other horses that had to live on their own when their owners ran away for safety. “There were a lot of stables on the line of the fire and the only way to be safe was to release horses and get away as fast as possible. It was not possible to take care of them. There were military actions,” Shcherbyna says.
Shcherbyna, who is hoping to find a horse-related position abroad, says she has stayed safe so far.“Luckily, I didn’t get shot during my drives. Although there were some battle planes flying above us, I was lucky enough to live in a village where we did not have any military actions,” she says.
1.What has been bothering Shcherbyna during the war?( )
A.The rising land rent of her city.
B.The bomb damage to the stables.
C.The lack of feed for her horses.
D.The decline of her horse business.
2.How did Shcherbyna deal with her problem?( )
A.By finding barns nearby.
B.By making small deliveries.
C.By freeing horses in the wild.
D.By turning to other horse owners.
3.What does Shcherbyna probably think of the horse owners’ behavior during the war?( )
A.Understandable. B.Irresponsible.
C.Stupid. D.Creative.
4.What’s Kateryna Shcherbyna’s plan for the future?( )
A.Keeping horses in her village.
B.Saving more horses in the wild.
C.Getting a horse-related job abroad.
D.Expanding Help Ukrainian Horses.

On 26 January 1945, Audie Murphy and some 40 US troops sat shaking in the cold near the Alsatian town of Holtzwihr. Just after 2 p.m., the stillness of winter was suddenly broken. In the distance, some 250 German troops and 6 tanks emerged from the woods.
At just 19 years old, the baby-faced Texan had already won two Silver Stars and the Distinguished Service Cross, and he was leading men 10 years his senior into battle.
Murphy knew that his men stood no chance against so large a force, so he instructed most of them to withdraw to pre-prepared defensive positions along a nearby tree line. As they ran for cover, he stayed behind and used his field telephone to call in an artillery strike. He did not have enough time to contact their artillery commander before salvos(齐射) of German tank fire erupted around him.
Murphy saw their tank destroyer slowly burning, but he saw that its machine was still operational. He quickly seized the gun and opened fire on the German troops nearest his position.
From their cover on the edge of the tree line, most of Murphy’s troops could only watch in shock. “I expected to see the whole tank destroyer blow up under him any minute,”Private Anthony Abramski later wrote. In fact, the blaze may have saved Murphy’s life. Many of the German troops and tank commanders couldn’t see him behind the smoke and flames.
Audie Murphy was called a national hero and awarded the Medal of Honor. Murphy returned home in June 1945. He later started a film career that included more than 40 credits, most of them in Westerns and war films. Reliving the horrors of combat in front of the camera proved difficult for Murphy, who had suffered from nightmares and flashbacks since returning home. He later urged the US government to provide better mental health care for its soldiers. He also hoped people would always live in peace.
5.What do we know about Murphy before the battle?( )
A.He wasn’t known to anyone.
B.He had received many awards.
C.He was the oldest in his troops.
D.He wasn’t thought highly of by others.
6.How did Murphy react when seeing the German troops?( )
A.He hesitated to take action.
B.He was too frightened to do anything.
C.He became excited and decided to attack.
D.He withdrew his troops to an unexposed position.
7.Which of the following played a role in saving Murphy’s life?( )
A.The cover of the nearby tree line.
B.The help offered by the artillery commander.
C.His being invisible behind smoke and flames.
D.His skill in operating the tank destroyer.
8.What can be inferred about Murphy’s post-war life?( )
A.He left the horrors of combat behind him.
B.He encouraged people to honor war heroes.
C.He greatly suffered mentally.
D.He failed to find a job.

Reading a new book of ancient stories translated by great writers, I was surprised to discover how widely the tale of the Trojan War has been told down the ages.A diverse range of authors have been moved to translate various versions of the classical myth (神话).One reason the Trojan War has struck such a chord is that, besides being an excellent story, it has long been suspected to have actually happened.
It isn’t surprising that people have been convinced of the reality of the Trojan War.The cruel realities of battle are described so unflinchingly (果敢地) in The Iliad, an ancient Greek epic (史诗) by Homer, that it is hard to believe they were not based on observation.Troy, the ancient city located at Hisarlik in present-day Turkey, is described in such vivid colour in the epic that a reader cannot help but be transported to its splendid walls.
It was in fact the possibility of rediscovering Homer’s Troy that led the rich Prussian businessman, Heinrich Schliemann, to travel to Hisarlik in the late 19th century.Told of a possible location for the city, Schliemann began to dig, and uncovered a large number of ancient treasures, many of which are now on display at the British Museum.Although he initially thought many finds belonged to the period in which Homer set the Trojan War when they were in fact centuries older, he had dug the correct location.Most historians agree that ancient Troy was to be found at Hisarlik.Troy was real.
But a historic Trojan War would have been quite different from the one that dominates Homer’s epic.It is hard to imagine a war taking place on quite the scale the poet described, and lasting as long as 10 years when the citadel (城堡) was fairly small.Whether the Trojan War myth was inspired by a war waged long ago, or was just an original invention, it left its mark on the world, and is still of exceptional historic importance.
9.What does the underlined part “struck such a chord” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?( )
A.Made its name.
B.Spread the word.
C.Changed many people’s opinions.
D.Touched many people’s hearts.
10.What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the tale of the Trojan War described in The Iliad?( )
A.It is too true to life.
B.It falls short of details.
C.It is based on observation.
D.It focuses on brave soldiers.
11.What caused Heinrich Schliemann’s visit to Hisarlik?( )
A.His love for traveling.
B.The chance of finding Troy.
C.His ambition to expand his business.
D.The possibility of uncovering ancient treasures.
12.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?( )
A.Did the Trojan War Actually Happen?
B.Homer: a True “Influencer” Back Then
C.Ancient Troy: the City and the Legend
D.What Inspired Homer to Write The Iliad?

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Sharon Estill Taylor has no first-hand memories of her father. The World War Ⅱ fighter pilot was shot down over Germany in April 1945, when Taylor was just three weeks old.When Taylor was young, her grandmother often shared stories about their fallen hero. “Nana, it’s OK,” Taylor assured her. “I’m going to find him and bring him home.”
Grandmother gave Taylor a silver box containing some 450 handwritten letters between her parents, spanning from their high school to the year 1945. Also included were six months’ worth of unopened letters. Taylor learned that on 13 April 1945, Estill had taken off to attack a railway station and destroy Nazi supply lines. She found a reference to a possible crash site near the town of Elsnig in eastern Germany.
With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, it became possible for Taylor to visit the potential crash site. She connected with German military historian Hans-Guenther Ploes, who agreed to help her try to find and identify any aircraft and human remains. In 2005, a team, accompanied by Ploes and Taylor, led a three-week dig. From the moment she set foot on the site, Taylor could feel that her dad was there. DNA analysis confirmed that the remains were his. On a sunny day, Taylor and her family buried her father’s remains at Arlington National Cemetery. Beyond fulfilling her promise to her grandmother, Taylor says her mission has been to get closer to her father and his legacy.
She has also come to realize that there are many Americans who’ve lost parents and loved ones in military conflicts overseas and wishes they knew more. Taylor shares her story widely, raising awareness of soldiers who never return from war and the significance of recovery efforts. An estimated 81,000 American service members’ bodies remain unaccounted for from past conflicts, but fortunately there are constant efforts to locate the fallen and bring relief to their families.
Taylor will never know exactly what her father’s final moments were like but she feels, in a way, that her father has finally come home.
1.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?( )
A.Taylor’s father delivered supplies in the war.
B.Taylor got along well with her father as a kid.
C.Taylor’s parents used to write letters to each other.
D.The exact crash site where Taylor’s father died was recorded.

C.There weren’t any clues about the battle.
D.Science and technology were not advanced.
3.Why does Taylor want others to know her story?( )
A.To help make her grandmother’s wish come true.
B.To let the readers know more about World War Ⅱ.
C.To pay her respects to fallen heroes like her father.

More and more, while we are in schools and doing mediation (调解) with students, we find out that the conflict is more widespread than just them.It may involve other siblings (兄弟姐妹) and sometimes parents, guardians, aunts and uncles.This means that while we can do a lot of work with the students themselves, the root of the conflict we are trying to address is much deeper and needs to include more people in the conversations.
A few weeks ago, two of CCR’s (Center for Conflict Resolution’s) restorative justice coordinators (协调者) had a case that involved four students and their five guardians.During the beginning parts of the mediation, some of the adults in the room started to become heated and defensive of their child.A confrontation (对抗) occurred between a grandmother and one of the moms.CCR mediators separated the two parties and allowed them each to calm down.Then, CCR staff invited everyone in the room to pause and refocus on the task at hand.As a group, they reviewed the guidelines and actually added some that addressed why the adults were feeling so defensive.
Then, something incredible happened: The grandmother and the mom who were upset with each other earlier apologized to each other.They each said they had no issue with each other after hearing the other’s perspective.They hugged and agreed to communicate in a more positive way.
After the students witnessed this, they asked to have some space.They left the room together and as the adults watched from the window, they hugged each other and apologized.Once they came back into the room, the students made a plan for how to communicate in the future using the example of their guardians.At the end of the mediation, a student said, “It was easier to apologize when I saw it done.”
The power of role models is far beyond what we know.By modeling how to be angry effectively, we can change how our youth respond when they are angry too.
5.What is needed to deal with conflicts in schools according to the author?( )
A.More coordinators.
B.Broader conversations.
C.A simpler mediation process.
D.More communication with the students involved.
6.How did the grandmother and the mom feel at the beginning of the mediation?( )
A.Surprised. B.Doubtful.
C.Regretful. D.Annoyed.
7.What did the students do after leaving the room?( )
A.They made a secret plan.
B.They said sorry to each other.
C.They cleared a space for play.
D.They communicated with their guardians.
8.What would be the best title for this text?( )
A.The Nature of Conflicts
B.The Power of Role Models
C.The Correct Ways to Apologize
D.The Challenges of Family Relationships

(2024·浙江湖州高二上期末)Charlie was very obedient to his parents and teachers, for which everyone loved him a lot. Due to his father’s job, his family moved to a new city, where he entered a new school. As Charlie was a good boy, soon most of his new classmates became his good friends. The teachers also praised this new boy, because of his intelligence and nice behavior to all.
But there was one boy in the class who did not like Charlie at all! His name was Bill and he was a very naughty boy, for which no one liked him at all. He found that Charlie was a quiet boy. So he started creating troubles for his new classmate. At the lunchtime, when Charlie was having lunch, Bill came up to him and asked, “Hey, what do you have for lunch?” “It’s cake and sweets,” Charlie replied with a smile.
“I love sweets and so I will eat this food today,” Bill said grudgingly. He snatched the lunch box from Charlie. The other boys sitting around were furious, but no one dared to protest due to fears of being bullied by Bill and his little gang.
From that day on, Bill regularly ate Charlie’s lunch and even threw away the water from his water bottle one day. But Charlie still kept quiet and did not complain to the teacher. Bill never did his homework and always forced the good boys of the class, including Charlie, to write it down on his copy for him! When Charlie’s parents learned about all these bullies of Bill, they wanted to come to the school and complain about this naughty boy. But Charlie stopped them and said, “Mom, Dad, please do not worry. Everything will be all right. After all, Bill is also a kid like me.”
The days went by and the time came for the annual sports at the school. Charlie was also good at sports and he participated in a number of events. Bill also participated in sack race (套袋赛跑), though he could not run very fast due to his fat body.

In the late 1930s, people could donate blood, but very few hospitals could store it for later use. Whole blood breaks down quickly, and there were no methods at the time for safely preserving it. As a result, hospitals often did not have the appropriate blood type when patients needed it. Charles Drew, a Black surgeon and researcher, helped solve this monumental problem for medicine, earning him the title “Father of the Blood Bank”.
In 1938, while obtaining his doctorate in medicine, Drew became a fellow at Columbia University’s Presbyterian Hospital in New York. He studied the storage and distribution of blood, including the separation of its components, and applied his findings to an experimental blood bank at the hospital.
As Drew was finishing his degree at Columbia, World War Ⅱ was erupting in Europe. Great Britain was asking the United States for desperately needed plasma (血浆) to help victims. Given his expertise, Drew was selected to be the medical director for the Blood for Britain campaign. Using Presbyterian Hospital’s blood bank as a model, Drew established uniform procedures and standards for collecting blood and processing blood plasma from nine New York hospitals. The five-month campaign collected donations from 15,000 Americans and was considered a success. His discoveries and his leadership saved countless lives.
With the increasing likelihood that the nation would be drawn into war, the United States wanted to capitalize on what Drew had learned from the campaign. He was appointed as the assistant director of a three-month pilot program to mass-produce dried plasma in New York, which became the model for the first Red Cross blood bank. His innovations for this program included mobile blood donation stations, later called bloodmobiles.

During the 1910s, the Great War broke out. A 25-year-old American soldier probably never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.
One night while the American troops were returning to the base after a bloody fight, Suleyman stumbled to the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush. Being stuck between two choices, either an enemy or an animal, Suleyman found a five-year-old girl from the bush trembling with cold and utmost horror. Due to the atrocity of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.
During the war, it was impossible to find the child’s family so Suleyman took this little French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which meant the flower. Soon, Flora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.
For one and a half years, Flora and Suleyman became inseparable; however, every fairy tale came to an end.When the war ended, Suleyman was sent back to the USA, while Flora was put in an orphanage, the Normandy School, which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.
For years, Suleyman always thought about Flora. When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.
At the age of 85, Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials. After hearing his story, a French journalist started to investigate the story, and all government files were read in detail.

On the eve of the 77th anniversary of the D-Day landings, I found myself on Omaha Beach, leading a small band of college students into the past.
For more than 20 years, my co-workers and I have taken students from the University of Texas at Austin to Europe as the highlight of half-year-long study of World War Ⅱ. There’s nothing like being there to discover what happened there 77 years ago or how much it can teach us today.
We board a bus and enter the American cemetery (墓地).A staff member greets us and tells us about the 9,380 graveyards here. We turn to face the cemetery as the national anthem (国歌) plays over the loudspeaker. Tears well up in my eyes at the memory of my father, who flew for 30 missions over France and Germany in the spring and summer of 1944.
Each student receives a yellow rose to place at the grave of a Texan soldier. The headstones give us only the name, rank, unit, home state and date of death. We can guess how old they were, for the students are about the same age.
We return to the beach and look at the peaceful scene that we know was anything but peaceful 77 years ago. “Bloody Omaha” was the deadliest beach of the landings. More than 2,400 Americans were killed or wounded, or went missing in action. No one who survived ever forgot it.
Our students understand the sacrifices made that day and the cost of war, both humans and materials. They face a world different from the one their grandfathers and great-grandfathers lived in but just as complex and even more dangerous. Pandemics, pollution and the threat of climate change present challenges that no previous generation has faced.
I have faith in this young generation.We can learn much from the D-Day landings and World WarⅡ about the importance of alliances (联盟), the value of cooperation and the meaning of courage. As it turns out, learning from the past is a matter of moment today.

Sheri Rosenblum learned about the Holocaust (纳粹大屠杀) the same way most kids did.13.( ).“It was like watching a horror movie. I really did not understand it. It was totally the wrong way to be introduced to it,” she said.14.( ).Sheri works at the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation (JPEF), an organization focusing on teaching students about the thousands of Jews who fought back against Hitler’s plans to kill them.
During World War Ⅱ, as many as 30,000 Jews joined resistance groups throughout Europe. Known as partisans (游击队员), they formed their own fighting units and also joined non-Jewish partisan armies to fight against Hitler’s forces. 15.( ).Eta Wrobel, a 20-year-old Jewish girl, escaped into the woods and helped form an all-Jewish partisan unit. Some partisans were even younger. In France, 12-year-old Bernard Musmand helped the Jewish Resistance by working as a courier (通讯员). At age 13, he joined partisan military actions against the Nazis, according to the JPEF.
These are all kinds of stories that the JPEF is working to spread.The organization has interviewed dozens of former Jewish partisans about their experiences during the Holocaust. 16.( ).“Students will say,‘I always pictured the Jews as victims. However, learning about this as a young Jew makes me feel proud to be Jewish,’” she said.
There are lessons for non-Jewish students too, of course.17.( ):young people can make a difference; stand up to oppression (压迫) early before it’s too late; never give up.
A.Many of them were youngsters
B.Unfortunately, this is the truth
C.Most of the partisans were Jewish girls
D.Now she’s working to tell a different part of this history
