【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：令Lily的朋友们感到困扰的是她为什么总是有这么多疯狂的想法。分析句子，该空需要一个表语从句的连接词，结合句意，应该是朋友们不明白Lily 为什么有这么多疯狂的想法。所以本句为why引导的表语从句。故选B项。

Arun Kumar Bajaj has a very unusual skill — he can paint with a sewing machine (缝纫机). Technically it’s embroidering, not painting, but his artworks are so detailed that they can pass as paintings to the untrained eyes. And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive.
Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father died suddenly 15 years ago, which destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business. His father was a tailor and he became one too, but he didn’t let the artist in him die. He started “painting” with a needle and thread, but instead of using his hands, he decided on a rather unusual tool —the sewing machine. It took him a while to master this unique art form, but today he is recognized as the world’s only sewing machine artist. His works become very popular both in India and abroad. It’s easy to see why, just by looking at them, but what really makes his embroideries special is the tool he uses.
“You need to be very careful because once you’ve stitched the cloth, there’s no way you can repair it.” Arun said. “It’s all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look.”
Some of Arun’s most impressive works include a 4×2 feet painting of the court of Ranjit Singh, which took the artist over a year to finish. Arun runs a tailoring business in the Adalat Bazar of Patiala, but he devotes a lot of his time to his artistic dream as well.
19. What was Arun’s ambition when he was growing up?
A To be a well-known artist. B. To be expert at embroidering.
C. To start a company of his own. D. To be a famous sewer like his father.
20. What can we infer about Arun’s business?
A. It runs very well at present. B. It often lacks a lot of money.
C. It has a lot of branches abroad. D. It is sponsored by the local government.
21. How did Arun paint the court of Ranjit Singh?
A. By using his feet. B. By using his mouth.
C. With a needle and thread. D. With a brush and paints.
22. How can we best describe Arun?
A. Outgoing and generous. B. Gifted and hardworking.
C. Courageous but impatient. D. Narrow minded and bad-tempered.
【答案】19. A 20. A 21. C 22. B
【解析】

(阿伦最令人印象深刻的作品包括一幅4×2英尺的兰吉特·辛格宫廷画，他花了一年多的时间才完成)”可推知，Arun用针线创作了兰Ranjit Singh的宫廷画。故选C。

If you stand in front of a group of kids, and start stating facts and ideas about a particular topic, like common trees found in a forest, their eyes will probably become dull because they’ll get bored. There might be a few people with a particular interest in trees who remain attentive, but it’s likely that most will lose interest fairly quickly. But if you stand up in front of that same group of people and tell them a story, something different will happen.
Researchers have now quantified (量化) the emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that stories can transport us to another world,” says Guilherme Brockington, the lead author of the new paper. Earlier research suggests that stories help children process and regulate their emotions — but it was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside MRI (核磁共振) machines. There are few studies on psychological effects of storytelling in more commonplace scenes, such as hospitals.
So investigators working in several hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged between four and eleven into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers let each child spit into a tube, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz.
Based on the analysis of each tube of saliva (唾液), the researchers found children in both groups showed lower levels of the stress-related hormone (荷尔蒙) called cortisol and higher levels of oxytocin, a feel-good hormone. However, the cortisol levels of kids in the storytelling group were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words.
Next, the investigators plan to study how long these effects last. For now, Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes.
23. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?
A. To state people’s different reactions to some ideas.
B. To stress the magic of storytelling in grabbing attention.
C. To explain the importance of eye contact in storytelling.
D. To show the difficulty in making common topics interesting.
24. How does the new study differ from the previous research mentioned in paragraph 2?
A The new study was undertaken in real-life situations.
B. The new study was aimed to make hospital stays entertaining.
C. The researchers made full use of high-end laboratory equipment.
D. The researchers highlighted the link between cortisol levels and emotions.
25. What did the investigators do in their experiment?
A. They made the children report their delighted experiences in hospital.
B. They asked children to retell the newly learned stories.
C. They solved some riddle games for the children.
D. They collected and tested some saliva samples.
26. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Children should be forced to develop various interests.
B. Reading stories to kids can change their character greatly.
C. Listening to stories helps kids in hospital reduce their pain.
D. Compared with storytelling, children can feel better when playing riddle games.
【答案】23. B 24. A 25. D 26. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，讲故事是一种低成本、高效的方式，有助于改善健康状况，帮助住院的孩子减轻疼痛。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“If you stand in front of a group of kids, and start stating facts and ideas about a particular topic, like common trees found in a forest, their eyes will probably become dull because they’ll get bored.”（如果你站在一群孩子面前，开始陈述关于某个特定话题的事实和想法，就像森林里常见的树一样，他们的眼睛可能会变得迟钝，因为他们会感到无聊。）和“But if you stand up in front of that same group of people and tell them a story, something different will happen.”（但如果你站在同一群人面前，给他们讲一个故事，就会发生不同的事情。）可知，如果你站在一群孩子面前陈述关于某个特定话题的事实和想法，孩子们会感到无聊，但如果你给他们讲一个故事，他们会感到有趣，由此可知，作者在第一段中想要强调讲故事有吸引注意力的魔力。故选B项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Earlier research suggests that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but it was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside MRI (核磁共振) machines. There are few studies on psychological effects of storytelling in more commonplace scenes, such as hospitals.”（早期的研究表明，故事有助于儿童处理和调节他们的情绪，但这主要是在实验室里进行的，受试者躺在核磁共振成像机里回答问题。很少有人研究在医院等更常见的场景中讲故事的心理影响。）可知，之前的研究是在实验室里进行的，而新的研究是在医院等现实生活场景中进行的，由此可知，这项新研究与先前研究的不同之处在于这项新研究是在现实生活中进行的。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Before and after these sessions, the researchers let each child spit into a tube, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz.”（在这些实验的之前和之后，研究人员让每个孩子往一根管子里吐口水，然后让他们报告自己的疼痛程度，并进行了一个自由的联想单词测试。）和第四段关键句“Based on the analysis of each tube of saliva (唾液), the researchers found children in both groups showed lower levels of the stress-related hormone (荷尔蒙) called cortisol and higher levels of oxytocin, a feel-good hormone.”（根据对每管唾液的分析，研究人员发现，两组儿童的压力相关荷尔蒙皮质醇水平较低，催产素水平较高，催产素是一种感觉良好的激素。）可知，在实验的之前和之后，研究人员收集了并测试了每个孩子的唾液，由此可知，研究人员在他们的实验中收集并测试了一些唾液样本。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“Those who heard stories reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words.”（那些听过故事的人报告说，他们的疼痛程度下降了几乎是谜语组的两倍，而且他们使用了更多积极的词语。）可知，听过故事的人的疼痛程度下降了几乎是谜语组的两倍，由此可知，我们可以推断出听故事可以帮助住院的孩子减轻疼痛。故选C项。
D
Shortly after 6 am on Monday, buses carrying 200 immigrants rolled into Midtown Manhattan from Texas, Most of them, including young children, wore lightweight sweaters or blankets to keep out the cold. Mayor Eric Adams’ administration warned that 10 to 15 busloads of migrants were expected to arrive this week due to the lifting of Title 42, a Trump-era public health rule passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday temporarily blocked the Biden administration from ending the pandemic-era Title 42 immigration policy, leaving in doubt whether officials will continue to drive off migrants over concerns about public health risks. Title 42 is set to expire (期满) on Wednesday.
“We have been told in no uncertain terms that, beginning today, we should expect an influx (流入) of buses coming from the border and that more than 1,000 additional asylum (政治避难) seekers will arrive in New York City every week,” Adams said in a statement released on Sunday. “We need help from Washington.”
Seeking to draw the Biden administration’s attention to the growing immigrant crisis, Republican governors of border states such as Texas and Arizona have been shipping migrants to Democratic-controlled cities such as New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
New York has received more than 31, 000 migrants and has opened 60 emergency shelters, mostly in hotels, as well as six other centers. New York City’s school chancellor (校监) said in October that the school system has enrolled more than 5, 500 new migrant students, most of whom came from Latin America.
Adams, who declared a state of emergency over the migrant influx in October, said in a statement on Sunday that if nothing changes and the policy expires, the cost of absorbing new migrants was unsustainable and could lead to cuts to existing city programs.
“Our shelter system is full, and we are nearly out of money, staff, and space. To be honest, if corrective measures are not taken soon, we may very well be forced to cut programs New Yorkers rely on,” he said. Adams accused the federal government of ignoring the city’s pleas for aid and accused Republicans and Democrats in Congress of failing to “raise their hand” to help.
27. Why are so many migrants supposed to arrive in New York City?
A. New York City faces a major labor shortage.
B. The immigration policy is to be no longer valid.
C. Washington has announced a new immigration rule.
D. New York City provides them with better living conditions.
28. Which might be a Republican-controlled place?
A. Washington, DC. B. Philadelphia.
C. New York City. D. Texas.
29. What does the underlined phrase “pleas for” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Supplies of. B. Benefits of.
C. Rewards for. D. Demands for.
30. What is the most suitable title for the news report?
A. New York opens 60 emergency shelters
B. New York City hit by new immigrant flow
C. New York City needs help from Washington
D. New York City’s school system enrolls many migrant students
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. D 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了由于第42条移民政策将失效，大量移民将抵达纽约，纽约受到了该移民潮的冲击。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Mayor Eric Adams’ administration warned that 10 to 15 busloads of migrants were expected to arrive this week due to the lifting of Title 42, a Trump-era public health rule passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.(市长Eric Adams的政府警告称，由于取消了第42条，预计本周将有10至15辆公交车的移民抵达。第42条是特朗普时代为应对COVID-19大流行而通过的公共卫生规则)”可推知，由于第42条移民政策将不再有效，大量移民将抵达。故选B项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Seeking to draw the Biden administration’s attention to the growing immigrant crisis, Republican governors of border states such as Texas and Arizona have been shipping migrants to Democratic-controlled cities such as New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.(为了引起拜登政府对日益严重的移民危机的关注，德克萨斯州和亚利桑那州等边境州的共和党州长一直在向纽约、费城和华盛顿特区等民主党控制的城市运送移民)”可知，德克萨斯州是共和党控制的地方。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Adams accused the federal government of ignoring the city’s pleas for aid and accused Republicans and Democrats in Congress of failing to “raise their hand” to help.(亚当斯指责联邦政府无视该市的援助pleas for，并指责国会的共和党人和民主党人没有“举手”帮助)”以及“Our shelter system is full, and we are nearly out of money, staff, and space.(我们的避难所已经满了，我们的钱、人手和空间都快用完了)”可知，此处指请求援助。由此推知，划线部分为“请求，恳求”的意思。故选D项。

Russians have made important contributions to the development of science and technology, which has changed our daily life. Here are three Russian contributions for you to read.
Yogurt
Yogurt has a long history. Many Bulgarians claim it, was accidentally discovered in the country around 4, 000 years ago. But there was a Russian biologist named Elie Metchnikoff.____31____
Metchnikoff travelled to Bulgaria and found a lot of people who were a hundred years old or older there. He then investigated the eating habits of residents and found that they often drank fermented (发酵的) milk.
He also read Bulgarian researcher Stamen Grigorov’s research. In 1905, Grigorov discovered one of the main bacteria in Bulgarian lactic acid bacteria (乳酸菌) responsible for transforming milk into yogurt.
So Metchnikoff came up with a theory that lactic acid is good for human health and prolongs human life. ____32____ He lived to be 71, longer than the average life expectancy at the time after consuming “untold gallons” of yogurt according to Time magazine.
Helicopter
Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky was born on May 25, 1889 in Kiev, which at the time was part of Russia.____33____ Both of his parents were physicians, giving Sikorsky the scientific grounding that he needed to develop aircraft ideas.
In 1939, he achieved his goal. He completed the VS-300, piloting the craft himself during its first flight.
Periodic table
Have you ever memorized the periodic table of elements(元素周期表)?____34____ It is a single document that helps the study and research of chemistry.
On Feb. 17, 1689, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev wrote down in a hurry the symbols for the chemical elements.____35____ Thus, he invented the periodic table.
It was perhaps the greatest breakthrough in the history of chemistry. Indeed, nothing quite like it exists in the other subjects of science, according to Scientific American.

根据后文“It is a single document that helps the study and research of chemistry.(这是一个单一的文件，有助于化学的学习和研究)”可知，本句应当是在说明元素周期表的重要性，F选项It指代上文the periodic table of elements。故F选项“它是科学界最有力的标志之一”符合语境，故选F。

I could see that he hadn’t a long time to live, but he came up to me, and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor. He compared his to mine and watched ____51____(intent). “Frank!” I cried in surprise, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back to more than thirty years ago. My memory was ____52____(associate) with the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter(防空洞), in which about a hundred people slept every night.____53____ we had to stay there was to make sure of our safety. That was the reason. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank. Why Frank interested me was ____54____ he was not normal. He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby had. Mrs. West, then 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank relied ____55____ her completely. ____56____(raise) her disabled son was no easy job. She was a representative of a kind and she devoted ____57____ (she) to looking after him.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house ____58____(destroy) already. That wasn’t quite true. Though ____59____(damage) badly, their house could still be used because the Wests went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned. The _____60_____(restore) of the buildings needed a lot of time.
I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted me in the same way.

【答案】Dear Tom,
I have received your email saying that you are worried about the coming exam. It is common for most of us students, but I think we can get rid of it.
First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a wise attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Furthermore, study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. Only in this way can we avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. In addition, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
I hope my suggestions will meet with you approval.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写(满分20分)
72. Tom appeared in front of the house with a can of paint and a big brush. He was going to paint Aunt Poly’s fence as he was asked to. A deep sadness settled upon his heart. The fence was long and tall. He dipped the brush into the can and moved it along the first plank (板条) unwillingly. He did it again and again. The painted part was very small but the whole fence was endless. He felt tired and sleepy and stopped painting.
Just then Tom heard a noise. He recognized it easily. It came from one of his schoolmates, Ben, who would make strange noises as he ate. Ben was walking by and eating an apple. At that moment, a wonderful idea came to Tom and he began to, cheer up. He wanted first to arouse Ben’s interest and then let Ben work for him. If other boys passed by, he would do the same to them. “Maybe they even need to give me something for getting the chance to show their ability,” he thought.
He quickly took his brush and painted quietly. Ben saw Tom, walked up to him and greeted him with a wide smile.
Continuing with his painting, Tom intentionally did not look at Ben. He wished for his plan to work and therefore, he did not turn around from his work. Tom moved his brush gently and slowly, all the while taking no notice of Ben. Ben went closer and taunted (奚落)Tom, “Tom, it’s unfortunate that you have work to do. I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could go, too?”
Tom turned suddenly. “Oh, Ben. I didn’t see you. What do you mean by ‘unfortunate’? It may be work but it may not be.”
“Do you mean that you enjoy it?” Ben asked, feeling puzzled.
“Of course! How often do we get the chance to be in charge of painting a whole fence?” said Tom. Moving his brush and stepping away, Tom looked at the end result proudly.
Ben went closer to Tom, seeming curious. He stopped eating his applet watched Torn and became more and more interested. He then begged Tom to allow him to paint the fence. He even offered Tom his half-eaten apple. Tom directly refused and said, “Aunt Poly wants this main fence to be perfect.

【答案】范文
Again and again, Ben insisted on (坚持) being given the chance to have a try. At last, Tom handed the brush to Ben “unwillingly” and sat under a tree to watch Ben do the work for him. Other boys came along and stopped to laugh, but eventually, like Ben, they wanted to paint the fence too. Tom was excited. Each boy gave some sort of payment to work. By then, Tom’s plan had become very fruitful. The whole fence was painted nicely without Tom sweating a bit and on top of that, he even got some earnings. At last Tom took his reward and went home happily.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tom要按照保利姨妈的要求给她的篱笆刷漆，但是Tom很不情愿，于是他想了个办法让自己的同学Ben来完成这一项工作。

根据首句内容“一次又一次，Ben坚持要给他一次尝试的机会”可知，第一段可描写Ben渴望做这项工作，Tom假装不情愿让Ben干活。整个篱笆都刷得很漂亮，Tom一点也没出汗。他甚至还得到了一些收入。
2.续写线索：坚持尝试——给予机会——其他男孩想尝试——完成工作——得到报酬
