My three grandchildren grew up, listening to someone read and learning to read.They discovered Jeanne Birdsall, Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan. I read and loved—many of the books. Often, I was reminded of my running story.
I started running when my older daughter was in primary school. During those early days, she made her disrespect for running clear. Later she did run. She ran throughout high school and had been running ever since. We often ran together. At first, I slowed down for her. But very soon, her pace improved, and she was slowing down for me.
Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren. At first,adults-parents,grandparents and teachers-led the way. Then the kids learned to read, and soon they were mere specks in the distance, gulping down books we’d never heard of, referring to series we’d never come across.
Early on, I began preparing myself for the inevitable. The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed, it ended,in the case of my granddaughter. She and her mother still read together, but mostly she read on her own. My grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car, at the table, while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again, eyes on their books.
I trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the library. They sustained them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. The night before our flight home, each of them were read, some more than once.
Recently, I picked up a book once owned by a child who was now these boys’ uncle. I began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment, and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch, listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.
4. What’s the author’s purpose of telling her running story?
A. To explain the benefits of running.
B. To share her running experience.
C. To exhibit her girl's talent for running.
D. To show the similarities of learning to read.
5. What is the key to guiding children to read in the author’s view?
A. Setting an attainable goal.
B Being a model yourself.
C. Discovering their interests.
D. Providing suitable books.
6. What does the underlined part imply in Paragraph3?
A. They made their own choice.
B. They soon followed suit.
C. They quickly lost interest.
D. They did much better.
7. What can we learn about the children from last two paragraphs?

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是如何在生活中引领孙子孙女们读书,并让他们爱上了读书。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I read and loved—many of the books. Often, I was reminded of my running story.(我阅读并喜爱其中的许多书。我经常想起我的跑步故事)”以及第三段“Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren. (现在我把它和我读书的孙子们做了比较)”可知,作者提到她跑步的故事是为了告诉读者们带女儿跑步的过程和带孙子们阅读的过程是很相似的。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Early on, I began preparing myself for the inevitable. The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed, it ended,in the case of my granddaughter. She and her mother still read together, but mostly she read on her own. My grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car, at the table, while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again, eyes on their books.(早些时候,我开始为不可避免的事情做准备。舒适的读书会时代将结束。事实上,它结束了,就我的孙女而言。她和母亲仍然一起读书,但大部分是她自己读书。我的孙子们从停车场走到球场,再走回来,眼睛盯着书,在车里、桌子旁看书时也像呼吸一样)”可知,在带孩子们阅读时,刚开始作者会做些准备,但是当孩子们能够自己读书并有自己的模式时,作者觉得就可以放手了。由此可推知,作者认为引导孩子阅读的关键是有他们自己的读书模式。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“At first,adults-parents,grandparents and teachers-led the way. (起初,成年人的父母、祖父母和老师带头)”以及划线所在句子的前半句话“Then the kids learned to read(然后孩子们学会了阅读)”可知,孩子们在阅读刚起步是需要成年人引领的。然后他们学会了怎样去阅读,不久之后就会做得更好。所以换线的句子意为“他们做得好多了”。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The night before our flight home, each of them were read, some more than once.(在我们乘飞机回家的前一天晚上,我们阅读了每一本书,有些不止一次)”以及最后一段“I began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment, and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch, listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.(我在一段疯狂的享受中开始大声朗读,几分钟后,两个男孩都坐在我旁边的沙发上,听叙述者勒德洛·费奇描述一次可怕的袭击和他逃到帕古斯·帕尔武斯小村庄的情景)”可知,只要作者和孩子们有读书的机会,他们就会去读书,由此可推知,他们都很喜欢书。故选A。

Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets — this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic local snacks.
Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people, or simply a leisurely stroll for one or two to explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more inclusive experience of the places you visit. Besides interacting with a city, Citywalk provides young people with a new social scene, where they who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends.
In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi, a young entrepreneur in Changsha, recently launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. Her Changsha route features more offbeat sights like historical architecture from the 19th century, artsy old alleys, and even a stop-off to sample the local spicy crayfish specialty.
Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, it is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences based on their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands.
8. Why do young people choose Citywalk?
A. To enjoy a guided tour.
B. To cut down expenses.
C. To dig deeper into a city.
D. To make new friends.
9. What is the most notable feature about Citywalk?
A. Doing sightseeing on foot. B. Avoiding hot scenic spots.
C. Taking a local tour guide. D. Keeping a fixed urban route.
10. What might Xiao Yiyi be?
A. A tour guide B. A culture researcher.
C. A Citywalk enthusiast. D. An event organizer.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the Citywalk trend?
A. Favorable. B. Dismissive C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了年轻人探索城市的旅游新趋势——城市漫步。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic local snacks.(对他们来说,Citywalk的意思是“在城市里漫步”。参与者可以遵循独特的城市路线,沉浸在氛围中,探索古老的建筑,浏览精品店,喝一杯咖啡,或沉迷于正宗的当地小吃)”可推知,年轻人选择城市漫步是因为可以深入了解一个城市。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people, or simply a leisurely stroll for one or two to explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more inclusive experience of the places you visit. (城市漫步可以是一小群人的特别导游之旅,也可以只是一两个人悠闲地漫步,探索新的领域,坚持关键点:避开著名景点和拥挤的人群,以获得更全面的游览体验)”可知,城市漫步最显著的特点是避开热门景点。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi, a young entrepreneur in Changsha, recently launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. Her Changsha route features more offbeat sights like historical architecture from the 19th century, artsy old alleys, and even a stop-off to sample the local spicy crayfish specialty.(一些组织者邀请民间文化研究人员和爱好者担任导游。长沙的年轻企业家肖依依最近在她的社交媒体账户上推出了六条不同城市的城市漫步路线,旨在为游客提供‘在露天博物馆漫步’的体验。她的长沙路线上有更多不寻常的景点,比如19世纪的历史建筑、充满艺术气息的老巷子,甚至还会停下来品尝当地的辛辣小龙虾)”可推知,她是一位城市漫步活动的组织者。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, it is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences based on their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands.(尽管Citywalk是一个相对较新的现象,但它为城市旅行者提供了一个积极的变化,因为他们可以根据自己的兴趣和需求更好地选择体验。与此同时,城市步行街也为导游和旅游服务供应商提供了一个机会,让他们能够提供更有针对性、更专业的服务,以满足不断变化的市场需求)”可知,作者认为Citywalk让城市旅行者可以根据自己的兴趣和需求更好地选择体验内容,同时也让导游和旅游服务供应商能够提供更有针对性、更专业的服务,以满足不断变化的市场需求。由此推知,作者对于Citywalk这一旅行趋势是持赞成态度的。故选A。

Before the year has even come to a close, climate experts are certain that 2023 will be the hottest year in recorded history.
On Dec.6, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) — part of the European Union's space program—revealed that this year's average global temperatures have been 2.6 F (1.46 C) higher than temperatures in preindustrial times and 0.2 F (0.13 C) higher than January to November in 2016. These “extraordinary” temperatures mean that 2023will be “the warmest year in recorded history,” C3S deputy director Samantha Burgess said in a statement.
The researchers note that this year's record heat was partly caused by the latest El Nino event — a phenomenon where warmer water near the equator triggers warmer global air temperatures — that began in June. Some other experts have suggested that the January2022 eruption of Tonga's underwater volcano, which pumped record levels of water vapor into the atmosphere, may also be partly responsible.
Despite these factors, the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused by runaway greenhouse gas emissions, which, noted in a C3S statement, have trapped more than 25 billion atomic bombs' worth of energy in our atmosphere over the last 50 years. And still worse, the global carbon emissions have reached a new high this year, according to scientists at the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) On Dec 4.
The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious. In 2023, research revealed that climate change is causing major US cities to sink and more than half of the world's largest lakes and reservoirs to shrink. Studies also predicted that the Gulf Stream, which plays a vital role in ocean circulation, could collapse by as early as 2025, and that rising sea levels could swamp the U S coastline by 2050.
However, scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster. Leading climate change expert Michael Mann, from the University of Pennsylvania, recently wrote that “we can still stop the worst effects of climate change” if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as possible.
12. What's the purpose of the text?
A. To report the recorded hottest year.
B. To present findings of a research.
C. To analyze the causes of climate change.
D. To warn of the coming natural disaster.
13. Which is the main factor in causing the warmest weather in 2023?
A. Eruption of an underwater volcano.
B. Greenhouse gas emissions.
C. Collapse of the Gulf Stream.
D. The latest El Nino event.
14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Scientists' predictions of the future.
B. The threat of rising sea levels to the U.S.
C. The effects of climate change.
D. Different opinions on global warming.
15. How does Michael Mann feel about the present situation?
A. Confused. B. Worried. C. Pessimistic. D. Hopeful.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了关于气候变化和全球变暖的最新发现和数据。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Before the year has even come to a close, climate experts are certain that 2023 will be the hottest year in recorded history.(在这一年结束之前,气候专家们确信,2023年将是有记录以来最热的一年)”可推理出,本文的写作目的是报告有记录以来最热的一年,故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite these factors, the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused by runaway greenhouse gas emissions(尽管有这些因素,但气温攀升的主要原因是失控的温室气体排放导致的全球变暖)”可知,造成2023年天气最热的主要因素是温室气体排放,故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious. (全球变暖的影响越来越明显。)”可推理出,本段主要讲的是气候变化的影响,故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster. Leading climate change expert Michael Mann, from the University of Pennsylvania, recently wrote that “we can still stop the worst effects of climate change” if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as possible(然而,科学家们表示,我们仍有时间防止进一步的灾难。宾夕法尼亚大学的首席气候变化专家迈克尔·曼最近写道,如果我们尽快停止排放温室气体,“我们仍然可以阻止气候变化的最坏影响”)”可推理出,迈克尔·曼认为目前的情况充满希望,故选D项。

You will probably be surprised to find how many things there are that you can be proud of!

【16题详解】
由上文“Too often, doctors and others tell a patient suffering from a stress related disorder that she or he must spend some time relaxing. (医生和其他人经常告诉患有压力相关疾病的患者,她或他必须花一些时间放松)”和下文“In fact, just sitting in front of the TV set and trying to ignore the day’s problems don’t make much effect. (事实上,仅仅坐在电视机前,试图忽视一天的问题并没有多大影响)”可知,上文讲医生建议患有压力相关疾病的患者花一些时间放松,下文具体举例说明花时间放松没用,该空应该承接上下文讲医生建议患有压力相关疾病的患者花一些时间放松的这个提议,它并没有效果,A选项“当然,这帮不了什么忙。”切合语境,选项中“That”指的是上文“医生提出的建议”,选项中“isn’t a lot of help”呼应下文“don’t make much effect”。故选A项。
【17题详解】
由上文“Lacking self-confidence, you will probably worry about disastrous things happening to you. (缺乏自信,你可能会担心灾难性的事情发生在你身上)”可知,该空应该继续讲缺乏自信带来的消极影响,才能引出下文“In such circumstances, you should replace negative, damaging feelings of failure with positive feelings of success. (在这种情况下,你应该用积极的成功感来代替消极的、有害的失败感)”讲针对“缺乏自信”所应采取的策略,G选项“你可能会变得悲观,无法克服。”切合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
由第一段“In such circumstances, you should replace negative, damaging feelings of failure with positive feelings of success. (在这种情况下,你应该用积极的成功感来代替消极的、有害的失败感)”讲针对“缺乏自信”所应采取的策略和上文“Take a piece of paper and a pencil, and try writing down good words that describe you, such as honest, thoughtful, hard working, considerate, kind, ambitious, creative and so on. (拿一张纸和一支铅笔,试着写下描述你的好词,比如诚实、体贴、努力、体贴、善良、雄心勃勃、富有创造力等等)”也讲积极的思想可知,该空应该与积极的思想力量相关,D选项“列出你生命中有价值的东西。”切合语境,选项中“the things that are valuable in your life”是能让人变得积极的事物。故选D项。
【19题详解】
由上文“Don’t worry about making mistakes. (不要担心犯错误)”和下文“If you accept challenges and live your life to the full, you will fail sometimes. (如果你接受挑战并充分地生活,你有时会失败)”可知,上下文都在讲人会犯错,所以没有人可能总是对的,C选项“没有人可能总是对的。”切合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
本段依旧承接上文讲建设性地运用自己积极思想的力量(通过增强自信心)避免压力和焦虑,再结合上文“You will often be surprised to find that the “worst” may not be as bad as you thought it was going to be. The “bottom line” isn’t often as discouraging as you think it will be. (你经常会惊讶地发现,“最坏的情况”可能并没有你想象的那么糟糕。“底线”往往并不像你想象的那样令人沮丧)”讲“最坏的情况”或“底线”其实并没有你想象的那样令人沮丧可知,该空应该讲“最坏的情况”的实际情况于人有益,F选项“相反,它会帮助你制定相应的计划。”切合语境。故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章说明了和谐是中国和合文化的核心,介绍了六尺巷的故事。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:和谐是中国和合文化的核心价值,在现代中国社会得到广泛认同。分析句子结构可知,空格处位于动词之前,修饰动词;因此需要用副词形式;wide的副词形式为widely意为“广泛地”。故填widely。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意:“和”一词由两个读音相同但含义不同的汉字组成:第一个意思是和谐,第二个意思是融合。分析句子结构可知,句子中缺少谓语动词,所以需要填入谓语动词;此处表示描述事实,因此用一般现在时;句子的主语为“The term”为单数,因此谓语动词要用单数。故填consists。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:总之,和合文化就求同存异,和谐共处,协调发展。involve意为“涉及”为及物动词;后加动名词。故填seeking。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:六池巷是安徽省桐城市一条2米宽的小巷,在中国有自己的和谐故事。分析句子结构可知,空格处为定语从句的关系词;且在句子中作主语;修饰的词为“location”为地点,所以用that或者which。故填that或者which。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:300多年前的康熙年间,一位名叫张英的高官收到家乡桐城的家人寄来的一封信。空格处位于可数名词前,所以需要填入冠词,此处泛指“一封信”,所以用不定冠词;首字母发音为辅音音素,应用a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:在信中,他们告诉张某,他们和邻居吴某就财产界限发生了争执,并寻求帮助。“关于某事争吵”为quarrel about/over sth.;此处指的是“就财产界限争吵”。故填over或者about。
【42题详解】
考查条件状语从句。句意:如果它移动一米,会造成什么伤害?分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入连词;根据后句“会造成什么伤害”可知,此处是“如果移动一米”,所以需要填入表示“如果”,引导条件状语从句。故填If。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:长城今天仍然巍然屹立,但它的建造者秦始皇已经不在了。此处句子倒装,且此处表示的是“建造者秦始皇已经不在了”;形容词gone意为“不复存在的”。故填gone。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:被他的回答所启发,张家决定把他们的墙加高大约一米。decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”;所以此处填动词不定式。故填to bring。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:这条小巷现在是当地人每天必经的热门景点。空格处位于不定冠词之后,因此需要填入名词单数,attract的名词为attraction。故填attraction。

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写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From an early age, Patti Wilson was told that she was an epileptic (癫痫患者). However, she was a lively and enthusiastic girl, looking at her illness as simply “an inconvenience”. She never focused on what she had lost, but on what she had left. One day, Patti said to her father, who was a morning jogger, “Daddy, I’d really love to run with you every day, but I’m afraid I’ll have an epileptic fit.”
Her father told her “Don’t worry, my girl. I know how to handle it! Let’s start running then!”
It was a wonderful experience for the father and daughter to run together every day. After a few weeks, the ambitious girl told her father, “Daddy, What I’d really love to do is to break the world’s long-distance running record for women.” The father checked the Guinness Book of World Records and found that the farthest any woman had run was 80miles.
That year, she completed her run to San Francisco, which is a distance of 400 miles. She was wearing a T-shirt, reading, “I Love Epileptics”. Her father ran every mile at her side, and her mom, a nurse, followed in a motor home behind them in case anything went wrong. But nothing happened at all while she was running.
As a senior high school student, Patti announced that she was determined to run from her hometown up to the White House, which is a distance of more than 3000 miles away. Her classmates got behind her. They built a giant poster that read, “Run, Patti, Run!” This has since become her motto and the title of a book she later has written.
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On her second marathon in Portland, she had her foot injured.
Half a year later, Patti ran in Washington and finally shook the hand of the President.
【答案】On her second marathon in Portland, she had her foot injured. A doctor told her she had to stop her run. He said, “I’ve got to put a cast on your ankle so that you don’t sustain permanent damage.” Hearing that, she felt upset. She said, “Isn’t there a way I can keep running?” He gave her one option. He could wrap it in adhesive instead of putting it in a cast. He warned her that it would be incredibly painful, and he told her, “It will blister.” She told the doctor to wrap it up. She finished the run to Portland.
Half a year later, Patti ran in Washington and finally shook the hand of the President. She told him happily, “I wanted people to know that epileptics are normal human beings with normal lives.” Because of her noble efforts, enough money had been raised to open up 19 multi-million-dollar epileptic centers around the country. If Patti Wilson can do so much with so little, what can you do to outperform yourself in a state of total wellness?
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Patti Wilson从小被医生告知她患有癫痫,但她仅仅将它看作“一个小困难”,有一天她说想和父亲一起跑步,家人非常支持,和父亲跑了几周后,她说她想打破世界女子长跑纪录,她完成了前往旧金山的400英里赛跑,这一次她决心从家乡跑到3000多英里外的白宫,家人和朋友鼎力支持她。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在波特兰的第二场马拉松比赛中,她的脚受伤了。”可知,第一段可描写她脚受伤,医生建议她打石膏,但为了继续跑步,她采用了医生提出的第二个治疗方法(此方法不好、会很痛),最后她完成了前往波特兰的跑步。
②由第二段首句内容“半年后,帕蒂到达华盛顿,并最终与总统握手。”可知,第二段可描写她和总统说了什么积极的话语,她的贡献及作者提出的反思。
2.续写线索:
脚受伤——拒绝医生提出的第一个治疗方法——采纳医生提出的第二个治疗方法——完成前往波特兰的跑步——到达华盛顿并和总统握手——和总统对话——所做的贡献——作者提出反思
