A teacher touched my shoulder and told me to follow her down the hall to a small room. She asked me questions about my life and took notes of everything I said. The next day we met in the same room and I began taking tests that would become a weekly routine throughout that year. A few other kids joined me in that small room also. We didn't know it at the time,but the school system had labelled us as LD,or learning disabled.
As a learning disabled student,teachers treated me accordingly—disabled. They gave me answers to math problems,helped me finish my homework assignments,and allowed me to take untimed tests. They didn't expect much and so that was what they got back. By high school,for the first time I had found myself using my disability as a crutch that would let me ease my way out of assignments. I sold myself short.
During my senior year,I was placed in a class with several other learning disabled teenagers. The class was taught by a new teacher,Mr. Weisberg. Mr.Weisberg had given up his profession as a lawyer in order to help teenagers like me realize their true value. He accomplished exactly what he set out to do. He didn’t accept any of my excuses. For the first time in my life,I had to take accountability for my education,learning not to make excuses.
Gradually,Mr. Weisberg made me believe in myself as a human being with limitless potential. At first I hated him for not letting me be lazy,but together we broke down the label's invisible barriers.
I graduated from high school,and I am now receiving straight A's as I prepare to earn a bachelor's degree in English. The truth is that we pretty much live up to what others think of us and what“we”think of ourselves.
24. What did the new label mean for the author?
A. Lower standards. B. Better treatment. C. Higher scores. D. Stricter requirements.
25. What do the underlined words“a crutch”refer to in paragraph 2?
A. Something that excites you. B. Something that frightens you.
C. Something that limits your growth. D. Something that really helps you.
26. What was Mr. Weisberg good at?
A. Labelling students. B. Finding excellent students.
C. Developing students'interests. D. Discovering students'potential.
27. What message does the author intend to convey by sharing his story?
A. You are as good as you think you are. B. A teacher can change your life.
C. You are influenced by your environment. D. It is wrong to label students.
C
A thorough transformation of the area around the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris (巴黎圣母院) will open it up toward the Seine River and help millions of visitors flow through more easily while also reducing the effects of climate change,city officials said on Monday.
Notre-Dame,which was damaged by a fire in 2019,is closed to visitors and is still being rebuilt,with plans to partially reopen in 2024,just in time for the Olympic Games in Paris.
The redesign of the area surrounding Notre-Dame,which leaves the long,rectangular (矩形的) stone square in front of the cathedral mostly untouched,will not greatly change the neighborhood. But Paris officials said that the planned changes would improve visitors’experiences and make the city more resilient (有承受力的) in the face of rising temperatures.
The redesign envisions (预想) removing fencing to extend and combine parks around Notre-Dame into one,making neighboring streets more pedestrian-friendly and planting over 30 percent more vegetation in the area,including trees to provide additional shade. Plans also call for transforming a parking lot that is currently underneath the cathedral's main square into an underground walkway that opens up onto the banks of the Seine and provides access to a welcome center and an archaeological museum,officials said.
The new design includes a cooling system that will send a five-millimeter-thin sheet of water streaming down the square in front of the cathedral during heat waves,enough to lower temperatures by several degrees without flooding the area—and to give tourists a fantastic backdrop for their photos,officials added.
Reverend Gilles Drouin,an adviser to the Paris archbishop(大主教),said that the goal was to“decompartmentalize (减少划分) spaces that were limiting it somewhat”.
“I am very pleased that the tragedy of the fire will enable us to recreate physical and symbolic ties between the capital and its urban environment,”Father Drouin said.
28. What is the idea behind redesigning the area around the Notre-Dame Cathedral?
A. To protect the cathedral from fires. B. To prepare it for the Olympic Games.
C. To rebuild the cathedral as it was. D. To facilitate visits and fight climate change.
29. What does the redesign plan include?
A. Opening nearby parks to the public for free. B. Creating a walkway leading to the Seine.
C. Keeping the green coverage rate over 30 percent. D. Building a new archaeological museum.
30. How will the cooling system serve visitors?
A. It will help clean the square floor. B. It will cool the site year-round.
C. It will offer a background for photography. D. It will keep the air wet for the whole city.
31. Which of the following statements would Reverend Gilles Drouin probably agree with?
A. Physical barriers in Paris make it more organized. B. The reconstruction is a way to better integrate the city.
C. The urban environment in Paris should be updated. D. The fire cost ties between the city and its environment.
D
It is a starry April night in the southern Appalachian Mountains. A beautiful bird is flying to the Adirondacks. It is Passerina cyanca,or the indigo bunting (靛蓝彩鹀). The bird is on a 1,200-mile spring migration (迁徙). Without fail,in total darkness,it maintains a steady northward bearing(an exact direction).
A remarkable study conducted in 1967 by Cornell University scientist Stephen Emlen found indigo buntings could orient (确定方向) themselves based on projected star patterns. Emlen caught birds ready for their fall migration—a behavioral state known as migration anxiety—and placed them into special enclosed spaces under the artificial sky of a planetarium(a building whose ceiling shows the movements of stars). Then,Emlen recorded the direction of their hops just before takeoff. Almost without exception,the birds oriented themselves southward,in the direction of their autumnal migration toward Central America.
Humans have long used the North Star,or Polaris,to determine fundamental directions. Emlen guessed the birds were doing something similar,reading the sweep of the stars around Polaris to maintain a bearing. (Stars close to Polaris travel in smaller circles relative to stars that are farther away.)
Emlen began systematically wiping away concentric (同轴的) rings of stars around Polaris. For a while,the buntings were able to perform their little dance——face south,hop,fly—despite the erased (被清除的) stars. But once the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point,within 35 degrees of Polaris,the buntings,once a well-practiced dance group,lost their ability to dance. They hopped in a disorganized way,unable to determine their takeoff direction.
Some species of seals can also use stars to find their way across vast oceans.These and other stargazing specialists,unfortunately,have been forced to live upon a planet completely changed by artificial light in the night environment. Such pollution—a major side-effect of urbanization—is particularly destructive to many wild species. Like Emlen,we have erased stars across the sky,throwing animal behavior and migration patterns across the globe into chaos.
32. How did Emlen carry out the study in 1967?
A. By following the routes of the buntings’migration.
B. By watching the buntings under an artificial starry sky.
C. By analyzing the buntings’takeoff direction in the wild.
D. By comparing the buntings'spring and autumnal migration.
33. What happened to the buntings after the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point?
A. They faced south and flew. B. They hopped toward Polaris.
C. They danced in a beautiful way. D. They lost their sense of direction.
34. What problem does the author mainly discuss in the last paragraph?
A. Light pollution's harm to wildlife. B. The overdevelopment of urbanization.
C. The waste of energy caused by artificial light. D. Challenges faced by today's stargazing scientists.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Little indigo buntings migrate for 1,200 miles B. Indigo buntings migrate guided by stars
C. Birds ready for migration show migration anxiety D. Animals have different ways to orient themselves
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Now, imagine we're deep space explorers and we've found something out in space that is both extremely heavy and very small. This mysterious object would pull so powerfully that nothing inside could escape to the outside.36________ Again imagine we stay in our spaceship at a safe distance and make a movie of this black hole.37________ We would instead see the black hole eat anything that came too close. We get lucky:as we watch,the black hole swallows an entire star!
Our movie, titled “ Black hole eats a star ” gets a million views online. 38________ In the movie played backwards, we'd see a very heavy,very small object just sitting there—and then, all of a sudden, spit out an entire star! The object we're looking at now,which spits everything out and eats nothing,would be called a white hole.
Are there white holes?We have good evidence from our telescopes that black holes really do exist. 39________ That astronomers think about white holes is because of Albert Einstein. He came up with an excellent idea about gravity. His theory describes how black holes work,with their huge gravitational pull and also says white holes are possible. So could our universe actually make a white hole? 40________ Probably not. Something can be“possible”as an idea,but also extremely unlikely in real life.
White holes are unlikely because they are an“in reverse” kind of thing. Time in our universe only flows in one direction:forward. So for now,white holes are just an interesting possibility.
A. This kind of object is a black hole.
B. Is there a white hole in the universe?
C. Now picture yourself near a black hole.
D. However,we've never seen a white hole.
E. And could a black hole become a white hole?
F. We'd never see anything escape from the black hole.
G. But now imagine what would happen if we played it in reverse.

Awe is the feeling we get when something is so vast that it stops us in our tracks.Most of us 41________ it with something rare and beautiful:nature or music. But people can trigger awe too,and not just public heroes or 42________ people.
During the 43________ of 2021,Beverly Wax had an experience that 44________ her with awe. It wasn't a sunset,a sweeping mountain vista or the sound of waves gently lapping on a beach that got to her. It was the 45________ of her colleague,Justin,dragging an 80-pound portable air conditioner up three 46________ of stairs to her Boston-area residence. Wax's central air conditioning had 47________ the day before—in the middle of a 90-plus-degree heat wave. She had mentioned to her colleague that she was having 48________ finding someone to repair it quickly. He 49________ with the new air conditioner as a surprise. As she watched him 50________ and struggle while hauling it up the stairs and 51________ it in her bedroom,Wax says she felt a wave of 52________ for her colleague.
We're living through trying times. Almost every day,we're presented with new evidence of how annoying and 53________ others can be—the people who let the door slam in your face,or the ones who put their speakerphones 54________ in public. So it’s 55________ to forget that ordinary people can be awesome. However,just like Wax,we can be awestruck by the people around us.

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。
Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya's class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school,which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning. Maya looked down,feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier,she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still,she was unsure about others' reaction. All morning at school,kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief,they didn't say anything.
In the classroom,Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking,“What's that for?”Not knowing what to say,Maya pretended she didn't hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness,she glanced back at him,and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch,the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair,with a big smile on her face,sat the lady,wearing a pink coat,with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life.Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir,she greeted first.“I'm Joan,”she said cheerfully.“Glad to meet you.”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration,“You've written a poem!That's so artistic!”Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture.“The first flowers of spring!”she cried in delight.“You really have a gift for using colour!”she said. Clearly,Joan's praise added great power into Maya.
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。
In a sudden wave of bravery,Maya asked,“What’s it like being in a wheelchair?”
Deeply impressed by Joan,Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home.

A thorough transformation of the area around the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris (巴黎圣母院) will open it up toward the Seine River and help millions of visitors flow through more easily while also reducing the effects of climate change,city officials said on Monday.
Notre-Dame,which was damaged by a fire in 2019,is closed to visitors and is still being rebuilt,with plans to partially reopen in 2024,just in time for the Olympic Games in Paris.
The redesign of the area surrounding Notre-Dame,which leaves the long,rectangular (矩形的) stone square in front of the cathedral mostly untouched,will not greatly change the neighborhood. But Paris officials said that the planned changes would improve visitors’experiences and make the city more resilient (有承受力的) in the face of rising temperatures.
The redesign envisions (预想) removing fencing to extend and combine parks around Notre-Dame into one,making neighboring streets more pedestrian-friendly and planting over 30 percent more vegetation in the area,including trees to provide additional shade. Plans also call for transforming a parking lot that is currently underneath the cathedral's main square into an underground walkway that opens up onto the banks of the Seine and provides access to a welcome center and an archaeological museum,officials said.
The new design includes a cooling system that will send a five-millimeter-thin sheet of water streaming down the square in front of the cathedral during heat waves,enough to lower temperatures by several degrees without flooding the area—and to give tourists a fantastic backdrop for their photos,officials added.
Reverend Gilles Drouin,an adviser to the Paris archbishop(大主教),said that the goal was to“decompartmentalize (减少划分) spaces that were limiting it somewhat”.
“I am very pleased that the tragedy of the fire will enable us to recreate physical and symbolic ties between the capital and its urban environment,”Father Drouin said.
28. What is the idea behind redesigning the area around the Notre-Dame Cathedral?
A. To protect the cathedral from fires. B. To prepare it for the Olympic Games.
C. To rebuild the cathedral as it was. D. To facilitate visits and fight climate change.
29. What does the redesign plan include?
A. Opening nearby parks to the public for free. B. Creating a walkway leading to the Seine.
C. Keeping the green coverage rate over 30 percent. D. Building a new archaeological museum.
30. How will the cooling system serve visitors?
A. It will help clean the square floor. B. It will cool the site year-round.
C. It will offer a background for photography. D. It will keep the air wet for the whole city.
31. Which of the following statements would Reverend Gilles Drouin probably agree with?
A. Physical barriers in Paris make it more organized. B. The reconstruction is a way to better integrate the city.
C. The urban environment in Paris should be updated. D. The fire cost ties between the city and its environment.
D
It is a starry April night in the southern Appalachian Mountains. A beautiful bird is flying to the Adirondacks. It is Passerina cyanca,or the indigo bunting (靛蓝彩鹀). The bird is on a 1,200-mile spring migration (迁徙). Without fail,in total darkness,it maintains a steady northward bearing(an exact direction).
A remarkable study conducted in 1967 by Cornell University scientist Stephen Emlen found indigo buntings could orient (确定方向) themselves based on projected star patterns. Emlen caught birds ready for their fall migration—a behavioral state known as migration anxiety—and placed them into special enclosed spaces under the artificial sky of a planetarium(a building whose ceiling shows the movements of stars). Then,Emlen recorded the direction of their hops just before takeoff. Almost without exception,the birds oriented themselves southward,in the direction of their autumnal migration toward Central America.
Humans have long used the North Star,or Polaris,to determine fundamental directions. Emlen guessed the birds were doing something similar,reading the sweep of the stars around Polaris to maintain a bearing. (Stars close to Polaris travel in smaller circles relative to stars that are farther away.)
Emlen began systematically wiping away concentric (同轴的) rings of stars around Polaris. For a while,the buntings were able to perform their little dance——face south,hop,fly—despite the erased (被清除的) stars. But once the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point,within 35 degrees of Polaris,the buntings,once a well-practiced dance group,lost their ability to dance. They hopped in a disorganized way,unable to determine their takeoff direction.
Some species of seals can also use stars to find their way across vast oceans.These and other stargazing specialists,unfortunately,have been forced to live upon a planet completely changed by artificial light in the night environment. Such pollution—a major side-effect of urbanization—is particularly destructive to many wild species. Like Emlen,we have erased stars across the sky,throwing animal behavior and migration patterns across the globe into chaos.
32. How did Emlen carry out the study in 1967?
A. By following the routes of the buntings’migration.
B. By watching the buntings under an artificial starry sky.
C. By analyzing the buntings’takeoff direction in the wild.
D. By comparing the buntings'spring and autumnal migration.
33. What happened to the buntings after the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point?
A. They faced south and flew. B. They hopped toward Polaris.
C. They danced in a beautiful way. D. They lost their sense of direction.
34. What problem does the author mainly discuss in the last paragraph?
A. Light pollution's harm to wildlife. B. The overdevelopment of urbanization.
C. The waste of energy caused by artificial light. D. Challenges faced by today's stargazing scientists.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Little indigo buntings migrate for 1,200 miles B. Indigo buntings migrate guided by stars
C. Birds ready for migration show migration anxiety D. Animals have different ways to orient themselves

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Now, imagine we're deep space explorers and we've found something out in space that is both extremely heavy and very small. This mysterious object would pull so powerfully that nothing inside could escape to the outside.36________ Again imagine we stay in our spaceship at a safe distance and make a movie of this black hole.37________ We would instead see the black hole eat anything that came too close. We get lucky:as we watch,the black hole swallows an entire star!
Our movie, titled “ Black hole eats a star ” gets a million views online. 38________ In the movie played backwards, we'd see a very heavy,very small object just sitting there—and then, all of a sudden, spit out an entire star! The object we're looking at now,which spits everything out and eats nothing,would be called a white hole.
Are there white holes?We have good evidence from our telescopes that black holes really do exist. 39________ That astronomers think about white holes is because of Albert Einstein. He came up with an excellent idea about gravity. His theory describes how black holes work,with their huge gravitational pull and also says white holes are possible. So could our universe actually make a white hole? 40________ Probably not. Something can be“possible”as an idea,but also extremely unlikely in real life.
White holes are unlikely because they are an“in reverse” kind of thing. Time in our universe only flows in one direction:forward. So for now,white holes are just an interesting possibility.
A. This kind of object is a black hole.
B. Is there a white hole in the universe?
C. Now picture yourself near a black hole.
D. However,we've never seen a white hole.
E. And could a black hole become a white hole?
F. We'd never see anything escape from the black hole.
G. But now imagine what would happen if we played it in reverse.

Awe is the feeling we get when something is so vast that it stops us in our tracks.Most of us 41________ it with something rare and beautiful:nature or music. But people can trigger awe too,and not just public heroes or 42________ people.
During the 43________ of 2021,Beverly Wax had an experience that 44________ her with awe. It wasn't a sunset,a sweeping mountain vista or the sound of waves gently lapping on a beach that got to her. It was the 45________ of her colleague,Justin,dragging an 80-pound portable air conditioner up three 46________ of stairs to her Boston-area residence. Wax's central air conditioning had 47________ the day before—in the middle of a 90-plus-degree heat wave. She had mentioned to her colleague that she was having 48________ finding someone to repair it quickly. He 49________ with the new air conditioner as a surprise. As she watched him 50________ and struggle while hauling it up the stairs and 51________ it in her bedroom,Wax says she felt a wave of 52________ for her colleague.
We're living through trying times. Almost every day,we're presented with new evidence of how annoying and 53________ others can be—the people who let the door slam in your face,or the ones who put their speakerphones 54________ in public. So it’s 55________ to forget that ordinary people can be awesome. However,just like Wax,we can be awestruck by the people around us.

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。
Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya's class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school,which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning. Maya looked down,feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier,she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still,she was unsure about others' reaction. All morning at school,kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief,they didn't say anything.
In the classroom,Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking,“What's that for?”Not knowing what to say,Maya pretended she didn't hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness,she glanced back at him,and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch,the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair,with a big smile on her face,sat the lady,wearing a pink coat,with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life.Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir,she greeted first.“I'm Joan,”she said cheerfully.“Glad to meet you.”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration,“You've written a poem!That's so artistic!”Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture.“The first flowers of spring!”she cried in delight.“You really have a gift for using colour!”she said. Clearly,Joan's praise added great power into Maya.
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。
In a sudden wave of bravery,Maya asked,“What’s it like being in a wheelchair?”
Deeply impressed by Joan,Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home.
