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。
American Express Gold: Best “non-travel” travel card
Why it’s great in one sentence: The American Express Gold card earns tons of valuable Amex travel points on practically all the food-related purchases you’re making even when you are not traveling, and the credits available on the card nearly offset (抵消) its annual fee.
This card is right for: People who can use all of the card’s various credits and who spend significant money at restaurants, on food delivery services or at U.S. supermarkets while they are not on the road.
Highlights:
First, with the Amex Gold, you’ll earn 4 points for every dollar you spend on restaurants worldwide, and on up to $25,000 in annual purchases at U.S. supermarkets (1 point per dollar afterwards). Most food delivery services count as “restaurants” on this card, so that means the vast majority of your food purchases will earn 4 points, regardless of how you’re eating.
You’ll also earn 3 points per dollar when you book airfare directly with an airline, so if you’re looking to jump on any sales for flights later in the year, you can pay for them with the Amex Gold and earn extra points on those as well.
The points earned on this card are American Express Membership Rewards points, which are extremely useful. You can redeem (兑取现金) them directly for flights via Amex Travel at 1 cent each, but if you put in some extra effort and research, you can potentially get much more value from them by transferring them to any of Amex’s 21 airline and hotel partners, which include Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Marriott and many more.
1. What can we know about the American Express Gold card?
A. It requires no annual fee. B. It has a link with food purchases.
C. It is targeted at delivery services. D. It.is right for restaurant managers.
2. If you spend $ 25,800 annually at U.S. supermarkets, how many points will you earn?
A. 100,000. B. 100,800. C. 103,200. D. 400,000.
3. What can you do with these points on this card?
A. Change them into money to buy food.
B. Transfer guests from airlines to hotels.
C. Purchase services in suggested airlines.
D. Make some extra effort and do research.
The news that all teachers were expected to attend camp with their students left me feeling unsettled. For the first time in more than 20 years, I would need to spend three days in the early autumn bush with 120 14-year-olds.
I love spending time with teenagers. But I teach Grade 12 English and am 51 years old. There is a difference between a literary seminar on King Lear, no matter how lively it may be, and late-night party in a campground. Besides, my idea of “outdoors” is biking on the Ottawa bike paths or sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea and a good book.
Eventually, we turn down a long dirt track that dives deep into a forest. I read the schedule and note the impressive minute-by-minute detail for the next 72 hours. I’ve never faced such a structured(高度组织化的) time since, well, when I went to camp in Grade 9. I think of home.
The next morning, I arise early. It is 7 a.m. Time for the polar bear dip. Everyone asks if I am going to swim. I respond with lame excuses and then wander, like a Grade 8 boy at the edges of a middle-school dance. Kids charge in, great plumes(股流) of water rising up around them as they shout with joy. My colleagues link arms, count down and run into the water bravely. Toweling off, the swimmers discuss the water temperature. The regret that I knew I would feel starts to kill me. I will now forever be the guy who did not take part in the polar bear dip. I walk slowly up to the dining hall and decide that from that moment on I will commit fully to camp life. My unwillingness to do anything is replaced with a burning desire to do everything.
At 7 a.m. the next morning, I am the first person on the beach in my bathing suit. I dive into the water. I scream about how good it feels. Toweling off afterward, I talk to anyone within earshot about the temperature of the water.
Later that day, the camp winds down. Something has happened in this camp. To the students, for sure, but also to me. When the last camper leaves, I give the camp director a big hug.
4. How did the author feel before the camp?
A. Angry. B. Disappointed.
C. Anxious. D. Excited.
5. Why does the author mention the literary seminar in Paragraph2?
A. To stress its liveliness. B. To explain its topic.
C. To introduce his preference. D. To show its similarity to camping.
6. Why does the author decide to devote himself to camping?
A. He is fed up with making excuses.
B. He hates to be regret-stricken.
C. He desires to show off his swimming skills.
D. He is encouraged to do so by his colleagues.
7. What happened to the author at the end of the camp?
A. He has used up his energy.
B. He misses home very much.
C. He turns into a camp director.
D. He has become a camp lover.
The return of sea otters to Southeast Alaska over the past 50 years, a project funded by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, has been a conservation success story. Erin Foster, a Nearshore Ecology PhD from Hakai Institute, suggests that sea otter restoration can enhance the genetic diversity of their habitat.
Sea otters reside in coastal habitats, including eelgrass fields, where they feed on rock crabs, often creating foraging pits (觅食坑) in the eelgrass. Foster looked at the impact of this activity on eelgrass genetic diversity by comparing eelgrass ecosystems with no otters (pre-disturbance) to those where otters had been reintroduced (post-disturbance). It was found that genetic diversity was higher in the areas with otters. Foster argues that genetic richness is of central importance here because it is crucial to resilience (恢复力) and the evolution of clonal organisms. Why? The primary mode of expansion for eelgrass is clonal growth, but sea otter digging stimulates sexual reproduction in the flowering plant and opens up areas for the seeds to settle.
Even though disturbance enhances the diversity and dynamics of many of the world’s ecosystems, its influence on genetic diversity remains poorly appreciated. The amount of disturbance that was observed in the eelgrass fields was relatively low: about 5% of the seafloor had foraging pits, although the pits last only for a short time, and visual observations likely underestimate the amount of activity. The disturbance theory, presented in 1978 on the basis of evidence from tropical forests and coral reefs, is well known to ecologists. Early studies showed that disturbance could increase species diversity, but researches on the effects of disturbance on genetic diversity are relatively rare.
The role of sea otters in eelgrass fields provides insights into how genetic diversity can change when species interactions are lost — and how these patterns can be restored. Without sea otters, genetic diversity appears to decline; when they return, so does diversity. Sea otters were extirpated from much of their range during intense commercial harvests in the 18th and 19th centuries. As their range expanded in the 1960s and 1970s after the disturbance, and their habitats became better understood, sea otters became symbolic species in ecology.
The role of sea otters in biogeochemical processes such as the carbon cycle has gained attention in recent years. During the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), more attention should be paid to rebuilding animal populations and the key ecological functions they provide.
8. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. eelgrass ecosystems are established by sea otters
B. eelgrass expands through clonal growth due to sea otters
C. the return of sea otters can increase genetic diversity of eelgrass
D. eelgrass plays a more important role in the ecosystem than sea otters
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. The ecological disturbance theory lacks basic proof.
B. The previous researches on disturbance are insufficient.
C. The necessity of the research on disturbance is doubted.
D. The effects of disturbance on genetic diversity are relatively small.
10. What does the underlined word “extirpated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Removed. B. Restored. C. Reproduced. D. Relocated.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Ecological Function of Eelgrass Fields
B. The Commitment to Ecological Conservation
C. The Strategy for Increasing Sea Otter Population
D. The Benefit of Disturbance on Genetic Diversity
It might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”
Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.
Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.
Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.
Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.
12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?
A. It may do serious damage to science.
B. It can effectively popularize science.
C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.
D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.
13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?
A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.
B. Because science is not easy to come up with.
C. Because they find no interest in science issues.
D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.
14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?
A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.
B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.
C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.
D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Negative.

Accepting a job offer can be exciting. ___16___ If we feel like we are settling, then it can also bring about a sense of frustration, anxiety, or even sadness.
I have felt the sting (刺痛) of settling many times in my life. Years ago, I took a freelance (自由职业的) role that at first, second, and third glance led to feelings of depression. What was once an expanding universe of potential in my career suddenly contracted. ___17___ “This is not why I studied mathematics or worked so hard,” I complained. I felt stuck. But the job came with a bonus: business trips to a fascinating city. And once I realized that the job wasn’t entirely gloomy, I started to notice other pluses I hadn’t previously considered.
We will all take roles at various times in our careers that do not tick all our goal boxes. We have a good reason for accepting the job offer, such as the need for a job in a certain location to keep family members together. ___18___ If we’re currently in this situation, we need to shift our concept of settling. Instead of taking a role with a sense of desperation, we can think about the new skills we’ll develop or the connections we’ll make.

We must be aware of how individual roles, even the most boring, are still useful, relevant, and beneficial. ___19___ Something is not happening to us; on the contrary, we are making something happen for us.
___20___ I expect there will be other jobs that at first glance will seem like I am settling. But I will serve myself even better if I see the situation for what it is: a temporary station on the way to a fascinating and fun career.
A. I need the money, so I settle.
B. Oh, how I hungered for more!
C. But what if the job doesn’t tick all our boxes?
D. And when we make this mental move, we feel stronger.
E. Yet we may feel that it presents too many new challenges.
F. The freelance role that I settled on years ago won’t be my last.
G. But we may also have a sense of unease that we are giving up the ability to dream.

第七部分 读后续写（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。
“Pick up the pace!” said Amy's husband. “But I can't!” Amy said, her heart beating quickly inside. “I can't go any faster!” Her husband encouraged her. “Yes, you can! You're making progress every day.”
To help Amy stay healthy, her husband had been running with her for over two years. Several years ago, Amy could barely walk down the stairs of her apartment building due to fatness caused by eating disorders. She realized the problem after a failed job interview and began walking to improve her ability to move. At first, she could walk for only 15 minutes at a time. But she pushed herself every day, walking 5 minutes longer than she did the day before until she walked for an hour and eventually two. For three years, Amy kept her walking habit, slowly and painstakingly building her body shape. Then she changed her walking shoes to running shoes about two years ago and became an excellent runner.
In March 2001, an advertisement invited people to nominate（提名）an ordinary person who inspired them to bring the Olympic flame to Salt Lake City as torch bearers（火炬手）or support runners.(Support runners serve as “guardians of the flame" and run with torch bearers along the journey.) Amy's experiences touched her husband, so he nominated her to be a torch bearer. The possibility to be selected was low, but Amy wanted to try.
Running taught Amy the importance of training for a race. She pictured herself running a race and crossing the finish line. For months, she ran through her neighborhood carrying a broken-off broom handle, feeling the weight of the torch. She waved at her neighbors, pretending they were cheering crowds. She also printed a picture of a torch bearer wearing the white uniform, replaced the face with a picture of hers, and put it onto her refrigerator door.
Every day, Amy imagined herself as a torch bearer. She was training for a historic running event. On September 26th, while on her daily run through her neighborhood, an express package arrived.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“One of today's torch bearers can't run her part,” announced the relay organizer.

2. 推理判断题。根据第三段“ The amount of disturbance that was observed in the eelgrass fields was relatively low....... but researches on the effects of disturbance on genetic diversity are relatively rare.”(在大叶藻地观察到的扰动量相对较低.....但对干扰对遗传多样性影响的研究相对较少。)可知，之前对干扰的研究还不够。故选B。
3. 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面during intense commercial harvests（大规模商业捕捞期间） 可以推断数量肯定下降，跟选项A removed 被移除意思相符合，故选A。
4. 标题判断题。根据第一段“sea otter restoration can enhance the genetic diversity of their habitat.”（海獭的恢复可以增强它们栖息地的基因多样性）和第三段“Even though disturbance enhances the diversity and dynamics of many of the world’s ecosystems”（尽管干扰增强了世界许多生态系统的多样性和动态性）以及最后一段“more attention should be paid to rebuilding animal populations and the key ecological functions they provide.”（应更多地关注动物种群的重建及其提供的关键生态功能。）可知，人类的干预例如海獭的恢复等对基因多样性有益处，应该更多关注，故选D。
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了讽刺类节目可以提高人们的科学兴趣和科学意识，但是也有其局限性。
1. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.”（因此，自2013年以来，心理学教授保罗就开始研究讽刺如何影响人们对科学的信念。研究表明，如果你想让人们对科学感兴趣，并塑造他们在热点科学问题上的观点，讽刺式幽默会更好。）可知，保罗对科学玩笑的研究表明，它可以有效地普及科学。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject.”（即使是经常看电视新闻的人，在他们的媒体饮食中也只能得到一丁点的科学信息，因为主流媒体对这一主题的报道时间是如此之少。）可知，看电视的人只会得到一点科学信息是因为科学很少出现在主流媒体上。故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement.”（深夜节目主持人可能偶尔会拿科学家开涮。然而，更多的时候，主持人宣传科学的正面形象。深夜电视节目通过让对科学知之甚少的观众感到有趣，可以激发他们对科学的参与。）可知，在深夜节目中，科学参与可以在观众中得到促进。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.”（尽管深夜的讽刺幽默可以提高科学兴趣和科学意识，但它也有其局限性。科学是复杂的，用几分钟的时间来传达这种复杂性，同时讲笑话可能是一种挑战。）可知，作者对于将科学与讽刺相结合持客观的态度。A. Critical批判的；B. Objective客观的；C. Positive积极的；D. Negative消极的。故选B。
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. F
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是对工作的看法。
1. 空格后说“If we feel like we are settling, then it can also bring about a sense of frustration, anxiety, or even sadness.（如果我们觉得自己正在安定下来，那么它也会带来挫败感、焦虑甚至悲伤）”，C选项“But what if the job doesn’t tick all our boxes?（但如果这份工作没有满足我们所有的标准呢？）”的But表转折，前面的“exciting”和后面的“doesn’t tick all our boxes”构成转折，因此C选项承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
2. 空格后说““This is not why I studied mathematics or worked so hard,” I complained. I felt stuck.（“这不是我学习数学或如此努力工作的原因，”我抱怨道。我觉得卡住了）”可知，工作没有让作者满足，他/她想要更多，B选项“Oh, how I hungered for more!（哦，我多么渴望得到更多！）”符合语境，故选B。
3. 根据上文“We have a good reason for accepting the job offer, such as the need for a job in a certain location to keep family members together. （我们有充分的理由接受这份工作，比如需要在某个地方找到一份工作，让家人团聚）”和后文“If we’re currently in this situation, we need to shift our concept of settling. Instead of taking a role with a sense of desperation, we can think about the new skills we’ll develop or the connections we’ll make.（如果我们目前处于这种情况，我们需要改变我们安定的观念。与其带着绝望的心情扮演一个角色，我们可以考虑我们将要发展的新技能或我们将建立的关系）”可知，即使有一个很好的借口或理由安顿下来工作，我们也有感到不安的时刻，觉得自己好像放弃了什么，这时我们需要转变自己的观念，G选项“But we may also have a sense of unease that we are giving up the ability to dream.（但我们也可能会感到不安，因为我们正在放弃做梦的能力）”符合语境，故选G。
4. 上文“We must be aware of how individual roles, even the most boring, are still useful, relevant, and beneficial.（我们必须意识到，个人角色，即使是最无聊的角色，仍然是有用的、相关的和有益的）”与D选项“And when we make this mental move, we feel stronger.（当我们做出这种精神上的转变时，我们会感到更强大）”承接自然，选项中的“mental move”指的是前面的“be aware of how individual roles, even the most boring, are still useful, relevant, and beneficial”，故选D。
5. 空格后说“I expect there will be other jobs that at first glance will seem like I am settling.（我希望还有其他乍一看，我似乎已经安定下来的工作）”，由此可知，作者之前那份工作不是作者的最后一份工作，F选项“The freelance role that I settled on years ago won’t be my last.（我多年前确定的自由职业者角色不会是我的最后一个）”说明了自由职业的工作不是作者的最后一份工作，因此F选项引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国最近通过的一项允许夫妻生育三个孩子的法律修正案。
1. 考查动词时态。句意：周五，中国通过了一项允许夫妻生育三个孩子的法律修正案。分析可知，空格处为that引导的定语从句中的谓语，用于修饰说明这个修正案，表示计划或安排好的行为，用一般现在时，that指代的先行词为单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填allows。
2. 考查名词复数。句意：旨在鼓励生育的支助措施，例如保护妇女的工作权利和降低教育费用，也得到修订后的《人口和计划生育法》的法律支持。分析可知，此处可数名词measure为复数概念，表示支持性措施。故填measures。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意：旨在鼓励生育的支助措施，例如保护妇女的工作权利和降低教育费用，也得到修订后的《人口和计划生育法》的法律支持。分析可知，此处应用low的动词形式lower的动名词形式lowering和前文protecting并列，用于such as后，进行列举。故填lowering。
4. 考查形容词最高级。句意：政策的转变是为了应对出生率下降的挑战。根据最新的全国调查，去年60岁及以上的人口比例上升到18.7%，而出生率下降到每名妇女1.3个孩子。根据句意和前文定冠词the可知，此处应用形容词late的最高级latest，表示“最近的”。故填latest。
5. 考查动词时态。句意：政策的转变是为了应对出生率下降的挑战。根据最新的全国调查，去年60岁及以上的人口比例上升到18.7%，而出生率下降到每名妇女1.3个孩子。根据时间状语last year可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填dropped。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意：全国人大官员Zhang Guilong表示，对这部法律的修订旨在确保在实现人口均衡发展的长期目标方面取得进展。分析可知，非谓语动词make和名词revisions之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语。故填made。
7. 考查冠词。句意：特别是，修订后的法律推动建立负担得起的托儿所护理服务体系。后文可数名词单数push为泛指概念，发音以辅音开头，故用不定冠词a限定。故填a。
8. 考查介词。句意：针对第三个孩子政策可能会加深对职业妇女的性别歧视的担忧，该法律规定，将保障妇女的就业权利，并为那些因怀孕而工作受到影响的人提供就业服务。discrimination against“歧视”是固定搭配，符合句意。故填against。
9. 考查名词性从句引导词。句意：针对第三个孩子政策可能会加深对职业妇女的性别歧视的担忧，该法律规定，将保障妇女的就业权利，并为那些因怀孕而工作受到影响的人提供就业服务。分析可知，此处引导宾语从句，从句中结构齐全，句意完整，应用没有实际意义的that引导，和前面宾语从句并列，作动词states的宾语。两个宾语从句并列时，第一个that可以省略，第二个不能省略。故填that。
10. 考查代词、形式宾语。句意：该法律还首次涉及育儿假，明确规定将向实行育儿假的地区提供支持。分析可知，此处为“make+it+形容词+that…”结构，it用作形式宾语，that引导的宾语从句作真正宾语。故填it。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：艾米打开它，发现了一封信和一本关于奥运会的书。本段应该写艾米看到信上写着自己被选为奥运火炬接力的助跑员。她完成体检几个月后，又来了一个包裹，里面是正式的蓝色助跑服，还有她那部分接力的说明，终于到了火炬接力的那一天。第二段开头是：“今天的火炬手中有一个不能胜任她的角色，”接力组织者宣布。本段应该写艾米在挥舞着旗帜的人们中，跑去接过火炬，奥运主题曲播出了，艾米微笑着向人群挥手致意，她传递的不仅是火炬，还有奥林匹克精神。

American Express Gold: Best “non-travel” travel card
Why it’s great in one sentence: The American Express Gold card earns tons of valuable Amex travel points on practically all the food-related purchases you’re making even when you are not traveling, and the credits available on the card nearly offset (抵消) its annual fee.
This card is right for: People who can use all of the card’s various credits and who spend significant money at restaurants, on food delivery services or at U.S. supermarkets while they are not on the road.
Highlights:
First, with the Amex Gold, you’ll earn 4 points for every dollar you spend on restaurants worldwide, and on up to $25,000 in annual purchases at U.S. supermarkets (1 point per dollar afterwards). Most food delivery services count as “restaurants” on this card, so that means the vast majority of your food purchases will earn 4 points, regardless of how you’re eating.
You’ll also earn 3 points per dollar when you book airfare directly with an airline, so if you’re looking to jump on any sales for flights later in the year, you can pay for them with the Amex Gold and earn extra points on those as well.
The points earned on this card are American Express Membership Rewards points, which are extremely useful. You can redeem (兑取现金) them directly for flights via Amex Travel at 1 cent each, but if you put in some extra effort and research, you can potentially get much more value from them by transferring them to any of Amex’s 21 airline and hotel partners, which include Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Marriott and many more.
1. What can we know about the American Express Gold card?
A. It requires no annual fee. B. It has a link with food purchases.
C. It is targeted at delivery services. D. It.is right for restaurant managers.
2. If you spend $ 25,800 annually at U.S. supermarkets, how many points will you earn?
A. 100,000. B. 100,800. C. 103,200. D. 400,000.
3. What can you do with these points on this card?
A. Change them into money to buy food.
B. Transfer guests from airlines to hotels.
C. Purchase services in suggested airlines.
D. Make some extra effort and do research.
The news that all teachers were expected to attend camp with their students left me feeling unsettled. For the first time in more than 20 years, I would need to spend three days in the early autumn bush with 120 14-year-olds.
I love spending time with teenagers. But I teach Grade 12 English and am 51 years old. There is a difference between a literary seminar on King Lear, no matter how lively it may be, and late-night party in a campground. Besides, my idea of “outdoors” is biking on the Ottawa bike paths or sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea and a good book.
Eventually, we turn down a long dirt track that dives deep into a forest. I read the schedule and note the impressive minute-by-minute detail for the next 72 hours. I’ve never faced such a structured(高度组织化的) time since, well, when I went to camp in Grade 9. I think of home.
The next morning, I arise early. It is 7 a.m. Time for the polar bear dip. Everyone asks if I am going to swim. I respond with lame excuses and then wander, like a Grade 8 boy at the edges of a middle-school dance. Kids charge in, great plumes(股流) of water rising up around them as they shout with joy. My colleagues link arms, count down and run into the water bravely. Toweling off, the swimmers discuss the water temperature. The regret that I knew I would feel starts to kill me. I will now forever be the guy who did not take part in the polar bear dip. I walk slowly up to the dining hall and decide that from that moment on I will commit fully to camp life. My unwillingness to do anything is replaced with a burning desire to do everything.
At 7 a.m. the next morning, I am the first person on the beach in my bathing suit. I dive into the water. I scream about how good it feels. Toweling off afterward, I talk to anyone within earshot about the temperature of the water.
Later that day, the camp winds down. Something has happened in this camp. To the students, for sure, but also to me. When the last camper leaves, I give the camp director a big hug.
4. How did the author feel before the camp?
A. Angry. B. Disappointed.
C. Anxious. D. Excited.
5. Why does the author mention the literary seminar in Paragraph2?
A. To stress its liveliness. B. To explain its topic.
C. To introduce his preference. D. To show its similarity to camping.
6. Why does the author decide to devote himself to camping?
A. He is fed up with making excuses.
B. He hates to be regret-stricken.
C. He desires to show off his swimming skills.

The return of sea otters to Southeast Alaska over the past 50 years, a project funded by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, has been a conservation success story. Erin Foster, a Nearshore Ecology PhD from Hakai Institute, suggests that sea otter restoration can enhance the genetic diversity of their habitat.
Sea otters reside in coastal habitats, including eelgrass fields, where they feed on rock crabs, often creating foraging pits (觅食坑) in the eelgrass. Foster looked at the impact of this activity on eelgrass genetic diversity by comparing eelgrass ecosystems with no otters (pre-disturbance) to those where otters had been reintroduced (post-disturbance). It was found that genetic diversity was higher in the areas with otters. Foster argues that genetic richness is of central importance here because it is crucial to resilience (恢复力) and the evolution of clonal organisms. Why? The primary mode of expansion for eelgrass is clonal growth, but sea otter digging stimulates sexual reproduction in the flowering plant and opens up areas for the seeds to settle.
Even though disturbance enhances the diversity and dynamics of many of the world’s ecosystems, its influence on genetic diversity remains poorly appreciated. The amount of disturbance that was observed in the eelgrass fields was relatively low: about 5% of the seafloor had foraging pits, although the pits last only for a short time, and visual observations likely underestimate the amount of activity. The disturbance theory, presented in 1978 on the basis of evidence from tropical forests and coral reefs, is well known to ecologists. Early studies showed that disturbance could increase species diversity, but researches on the effects of disturbance on genetic diversity are relatively rare.
The role of sea otters in eelgrass fields provides insights into how genetic diversity can change when species interactions are lost — and how these patterns can be restored. Without sea otters, genetic diversity appears to decline; when they return, so does diversity. Sea otters were extirpated from much of their range during intense commercial harvests in the 18th and 19th centuries. As their range expanded in the 1960s and 1970s after the disturbance, and their habitats became better understood, sea otters became symbolic species in ecology.
The role of sea otters in biogeochemical processes such as the carbon cycle has gained attention in recent years. During the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), more attention should be paid to rebuilding animal populations and the key ecological functions they provide.
8. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. eelgrass ecosystems are established by sea otters
B. eelgrass expands through clonal growth due to sea otters
C. the return of sea otters can increase genetic diversity of eelgrass
D. eelgrass plays a more important role in the ecosystem than sea otters

B. The previous researches on disturbance are insufficient.
C. The necessity of the research on disturbance is doubted.
D. The effects of disturbance on genetic diversity are relatively small.
10. What does the underlined word “extirpated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Removed. B. Restored. C. Reproduced. D. Relocated.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

D. The Benefit of Disturbance on Genetic Diversity
It might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”
Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.
Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.
Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.
Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.
12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?
A. It may do serious damage to science.
B. It can effectively popularize science.
C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.
D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.
13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?
A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.
B. Because science is not easy to come up with.
C. Because they find no interest in science issues.
D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.
14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?
A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.
B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.
C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.
D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Negative.

Accepting a job offer can be exciting. ___16___ If we feel like we are settling, then it can also bring about a sense of frustration, anxiety, or even sadness.
I have felt the sting (刺痛) of settling many times in my life. Years ago, I took a freelance (自由职业的) role that at first, second, and third glance led to feelings of depression. What was once an expanding universe of potential in my career suddenly contracted. ___17___ “This is not why I studied mathematics or worked so hard,” I complained. I felt stuck. But the job came with a bonus: business trips to a fascinating city. And once I realized that the job wasn’t entirely gloomy, I started to notice other pluses I hadn’t previously considered.
We will all take roles at various times in our careers that do not tick all our goal boxes. We have a good reason for accepting the job offer, such as the need for a job in a certain location to keep family members together. ___18___ If we’re currently in this situation, we need to shift our concept of settling. Instead of taking a role with a sense of desperation, we can think about the new skills we’ll develop or the connections we’ll make.
We alone get to decide how to perceive an opportunity. A job is not a destiny. It is simply a step toward a destination. We must be aware of how individual roles, even the most boring, are still useful, relevant, and beneficial. ___19___ Something is not happening to us; on the contrary, we are making something happen for us.
___20___ I expect there will be other jobs that at first glance will seem like I am settling. But I will serve myself even better if I see the situation for what it is: a temporary station on the way to a fascinating and fun career.
A. I need the money, so I settle.
B. Oh, how I hungered for more!
C. But what if the job doesn’t tick all our boxes?

第七部分 读后续写（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。
“Pick up the pace!” said Amy's husband. “But I can't!” Amy said, her heart beating quickly inside. “I can't go any faster!” Her husband encouraged her. “Yes, you can! You're making progress every day.”
To help Amy stay healthy, her husband had been running with her for over two years. Several years ago, Amy could barely walk down the stairs of her apartment building due to fatness caused by eating disorders. She realized the problem after a failed job interview and began walking to improve her ability to move. At first, she could walk for only 15 minutes at a time. But she pushed herself every day, walking 5 minutes longer than she did the day before until she walked for an hour and eventually two. For three years, Amy kept her walking habit, slowly and painstakingly building her body shape. Then she changed her walking shoes to running shoes about two years ago and became an excellent runner.
In March 2001, an advertisement invited people to nominate（提名）an ordinary person who inspired them to bring the Olympic flame to Salt Lake City as torch bearers（火炬手）or support runners.(Support runners serve as “guardians of the flame" and run with torch bearers along the journey.) Amy's experiences touched her husband, so he nominated her to be a torch bearer. The possibility to be selected was low, but Amy wanted to try.
Running taught Amy the importance of training for a race. She pictured herself running a race and crossing the finish line. For months, she ran through her neighborhood carrying a broken-off broom handle, feeling the weight of the torch. She waved at her neighbors, pretending they were cheering crowds. She also printed a picture of a torch bearer wearing the white uniform, replaced the face with a picture of hers, and put it onto her refrigerator door.
Every day, Amy imagined herself as a torch bearer. She was training for a historic running event. On September 26th, while on her daily run through her neighborhood, an express package arrived.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics.

2. 空格后说““This is not why I studied mathematics or worked so hard,” I complained. I felt stuck.（“这不是我学习数学或如此努力工作的原因，”我抱怨道。我觉得卡住了）”可知，工作没有让作者满足，他/她想要更多，B选项“Oh, how I hungered for more!（哦，我多么渴望得到更多！）”符合语境，故选B。
3. 根据上文“We have a good reason for accepting the job offer, such as the need for a job in a certain location to keep family members together. （我们有充分的理由接受这份工作，比如需要在某个地方找到一份工作，让家人团聚）”和后文“If we’re currently in this situation, we need to shift our concept of settling. Instead of taking a role with a sense of desperation, we can think about the new skills we’ll develop or the connections we’ll make.（如果我们目前处于这种情况，我们需要改变我们安定的观念。与其带着绝望的心情扮演一个角色，我们可以考虑我们将要发展的新技能或我们将建立的关系）”可知，即使有一个很好的借口或理由安顿下来工作，我们也有感到不安的时刻，觉得自己好像放弃了什么，这时我们需要转变自己的观念，G选项“But we may also have a sense of unease that we are giving up the ability to dream.（但我们也可能会感到不安，因为我们正在放弃做梦的能力）”符合语境，故选G。
4. 上文“We must be aware of how individual roles, even the most boring, are still useful, relevant, and beneficial.（我们必须意识到，个人角色，即使是最无聊的角色，仍然是有用的、相关的和有益的）”与D选项“And when we make this mental move, we feel stronger.（当我们做出这种精神上的转变时，我们会感到更强大）”承接自然，选项中的“mental move”指的是前面的“be aware of how individual roles, even the most boring, are still useful, relevant, and beneficial”，故选D。
5. 空格后说“I expect there will be other jobs that at first glance will seem like I am settling.（我希望还有其他乍一看，我似乎已经安定下来的工作）”，由此可知，作者之前那份工作不是作者的最后一份工作，F选项“The freelance role that I settled on years ago won’t be my last.（我多年前确定的自由职业者角色不会是我的最后一个）”说明了自由职业的工作不是作者的最后一份工作，因此F选项引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国最近通过的一项允许夫妻生育三个孩子的法律修正案。
1. 考查动词时态。句意：周五，中国通过了一项允许夫妻生育三个孩子的法律修正案。分析可知，空格处为that引导的定语从句中的谓语，用于修饰说明这个修正案，表示计划或安排好的行为，用一般现在时，that指代的先行词为单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填allows。
2. 考查名词复数。句意：旨在鼓励生育的支助措施，例如保护妇女的工作权利和降低教育费用，也得到修订后的《人口和计划生育法》的法律支持。分析可知，此处可数名词measure为复数概念，表示支持性措施。故填measures。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意：旨在鼓励生育的支助措施，例如保护妇女的工作权利和降低教育费用，也得到修订后的《人口和计划生育法》的法律支持。分析可知，此处应用low的动词形式lower的动名词形式lowering和前文protecting并列，用于such as后，进行列举。故填lowering。
4. 考查形容词最高级。句意：政策的转变是为了应对出生率下降的挑战。根据最新的全国调查，去年60岁及以上的人口比例上升到18.7%，而出生率下降到每名妇女1.3个孩子。根据句意和前文定冠词the可知，此处应用形容词late的最高级latest，表示“最近的”。故填latest。
5. 考查动词时态。句意：政策的转变是为了应对出生率下降的挑战。根据最新的全国调查，去年60岁及以上的人口比例上升到18.7%，而出生率下降到每名妇女1.3个孩子。根据时间状语last year可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填dropped。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意：全国人大官员Zhang Guilong表示，对这部法律的修订旨在确保在实现人口均衡发展的长期目标方面取得进展。分析可知，非谓语动词make和名词revisions之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语。故填made。
7. 考查冠词。句意：特别是，修订后的法律推动建立负担得起的托儿所护理服务体系。后文可数名词单数push为泛指概念，发音以辅音开头，故用不定冠词a限定。故填a。
8. 考查介词。句意：针对第三个孩子政策可能会加深对职业妇女的性别歧视的担忧，该法律规定，将保障妇女的就业权利，并为那些因怀孕而工作受到影响的人提供就业服务。discrimination against“歧视”是固定搭配，符合句意。故填against。
9. 考查名词性从句引导词。句意：针对第三个孩子政策可能会加深对职业妇女的性别歧视的担忧，该法律规定，将保障妇女的就业权利，并为那些因怀孕而工作受到影响的人提供就业服务。分析可知，此处引导宾语从句，从句中结构齐全，句意完整，应用没有实际意义的that引导，和前面宾语从句并列，作动词states的宾语。两个宾语从句并列时，第一个that可以省略，第二个不能省略。故填that。
10. 考查代词、形式宾语。句意：该法律还首次涉及育儿假，明确规定将向实行育儿假的地区提供支持。分析可知，此处为“make+it+形容词+that…”结构，it用作形式宾语，that引导的宾语从句作真正宾语。故填it。

Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics. The letter read, “Congratulations! You've been selected as a support runner for the Olympic Torch Relay...” Although she wouldn't be wearing the white uniform, she wasn't disappointed. She completed the required physical examination, delivered the forms, and waited. Months later, another package arrived. It contained her official blue support runner uniform along with instructions for her part of the relay. Then on a cold day, Amy and her husband stood outside the Torch Relay collection point.
Paragraph 2:
“One of today's torch bearers can't run her part,” announced the relay organizer. Then he said, “One lucky support runner will become a torch bearer. Select a person now.” Luckily, Amy became the torch bearer. Holding it tight, she ran down the street filled with people waving flags. The Olympic theme song was broadcast. Amy smiled and waved to the crowds, knowing that she was carrying not only the torch, but also the Olympic spirit.
【解析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
通过阅读所给文章可知，几年前，艾米由于饮食失调导致肥胖，几乎走不下公寓楼的楼梯。在丈夫的帮助下，慢慢地恢复身材，并成为一名优秀的跑步运动员。在看了一则广告后，丈夫鼓励艾米去竞选奥运火炬手。为此，艾米把自己想象成火炬手，一直为此训练，直到有一天，一个快递包裹到达。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：艾米打开它，发现了一封信和一本关于奥运会的书。本段应该写艾米看到信上写着自己被选为奥运火炬接力的助跑员。她完成体检几个月后，又来了一个包裹，里面是正式的蓝色助跑服，还有她那部分接力的说明，终于到了火炬接力的那一天。第二段开头是：“今天的火炬手中有一个不能胜任她的角色，”接力组织者宣布。本段应该写艾米在挥舞着旗帜的人们中，跑去接过火炬，奥运主题曲播出了，艾米微笑着向人群挥手致意，她传递的不仅是火炬，还有奥林匹克精神。
续写时要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右，按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：be selected as，run down，fill with等高级词汇；Although she wouldn't be wearing the white uniform, she wasn't disappointed.让步状语从句的运用；Amy smiled and waved to the crowds, knowing that she was carrying not only the torch, but also the Olympic spirit.宾语从句的运用等高级句式。
