【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。通过讲述Sia Gdika的故事，记录了她如何从一个观察到建筑工地上赤脚儿童的普通女孩，成长为创立Sle Warrirs这一慈善组织，致力于为需要帮助的人提供鞋子的过程。
【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Sia Gdika was 13 when she nticed the bareft children f cnstructin wrkers at a building site near her huse in the district f Bangalre, India.(在印度班加罗尔，13岁的Sia Gdika在她家附近的一个建筑工地上注意到建筑工人的赤脚孩子)”以及第三段“Returning hme, she lked at her cllectin f shes—many f which had lain unused red fr mnths r even years. Then, inspired by a desire t make a difference, she decided t d with the supprt f her parents and cmmunity vlunteers, Sia funded Sle Warrirs, a charity aimed t prvide ftwear t thse in need with its mtt: “Dnate a sle, save a sul.”(回到家，她看着自己收藏的鞋子——其中许多已经几个月甚至几年没穿了。然后，在想要改变世界的愿望的鼓舞下，她决定在父母和社区志愿者的支持下，创立了一家名为Sle Warrirs的慈善机构，旨在为有需要的人提供鞋子，其座右铭是：“捐赠一个鞋底，拯救一个灵魂。”)”可知，Sia Gdika在看到建筑工地上赤脚的儿童时，意识到这些孩子的困境，从而产生了成立Sle Warrirs的想法，旨在帮助那些需要帮助的人。因此，她的灵感来源于对赤脚儿童的关注。故选B项。
【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Nw in its fifth year, the rganizatin runs distributin drives where used ftwear is cllected, repaired and dnated t peple in need.(今年是该组织成立的第五个年头，该组织开展分发活动，收集、修复并捐赠给有需要的人)”可知，Sle Warrirs这个组织的运作方式是收集、修理旧鞋子，然后捐赠给需要帮助的人，因此他们通过捐赠鞋子来帮助那些需要帮助的人。故选C项。
【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Fr mnths, Sia was busy with schlwrk and her new passin (激情) prject. “I was up till 2 a. m. creating Excel sheets t see which apartment buildings we culd find fr dnatins and cntacting peple.”(几个月来，希娅一直忙于学业和她的新项目。“我直到凌晨2点才睡，制作Excel表格，看看我们可以找到哪些公寓楼进行捐赠，并与人们联系。”)”以及最后一段“Despite facing many challenges, Sia didn’t give up. In 2021, her effrts were recgnized with the Diana Award.(尽管面临许多挑战，西娅并没有放弃。2021年，她的努力得到了Diana的认可)”可知，Sia Gdika面对很多挑战，但她没有放弃，并且她的努力得到了认可，获得了Diana奖。这表明她非常勤奋和有决心。故选D项。
【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段和最后一段，可推知，文章主要讲述了Sia Gdika看到贫困儿童的困境后，决定创办Sle Warrirs慈善机构，为需要的人提供鞋子的故事，所以C选项“Walking in Smene Else’s Shes”（穿着别人的鞋行走）最能概括文章的主题，最适合作为本文标题。故选C项。

Grwing Old
It happens t us all, hwever hard we may try t slw dwn the prcess. We grw ld. Csmetic surgery (整容手术) may remve the lines that frm n the face, the lse skin may be tightened by means f a facelift, and hairdressers may dye gray hair a mre yuthful clur, but we cannt remain yung frever.
Advances in medicine have made it pssible fr mre peple t stay alive lnger. Hwever, what is imprtant is the quality f life and peple age differently. Sme peple remain quite well and able t lk after themselves when they get ld, but thers f the same age are nt s lucky. They have t g int sheltered husing r even int a residential hme r nursing hme in rder t receive enugh care.
The wrst aspect f ageing is that ften the mind becmes less active. As peple grw lder, they ften experience lss f shrt-term memry, althugh they may well be able t recall quite easily events that happened lng ag. Later they may suffer frm dementia, ften in the frm f Alzheimer’s disease, a disease which gets gradually wrse.
By n means all elderly peple are in this type. Many senir citizens have all their pwers and see retirement (退休) as a time f freedm. Nt nly that, if they have a generus retirement payment, they are likely t be quite well ff, with mney t spend n hlidays and ther things. Because f this, bth businesses and gvernment have a new respect fr what is knwn as “gray pwer”.
By n means, hwever, des everyne treat OAPs (Old Age Pensiner) with respect. There are sme cultures which are nted fr the great respect with which they treat their ld peple, but many peple regard the ld as having a very lw psitin in sciety and treat them accrdingly. Peple in these latter cultures ften feel bad abut ageism and regard ld peple as geriatrics wh have ne ft in the grave. Smene shuld remind them that they, t, will be ld ne day.
8. Hw d peple try t lk yunger accrding t the passage?
A. By dressing smartly.B. By taking mre exercise.
C. By getting a facelift.D. By mixing with yung peple.
9. Where d the elderly peple wh cannt lk after themselves stay?
A. In nursing hmes.B. At hspitals.
C. In cmmunity centres.D. At hmes f relatives.
10. What d the underlined wrds “gray pwer” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. The elderly wh enjy great pwer.B. The elderly wh have much freedm.
C. The elderly wh have spending pwer. D. The elderly wh are at the age f retirement.
11. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Each f us will get ld ne day.B. Everyne shws respect fr the ld peple.
C. Different cultures have different attitudes.D. We need t shw cnsideratin t the elderly.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章讨论了人们如何面对衰老、社会对老年人的态度以及老年人自身的生活状态和感受。
【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“We grw ld. Csmetic surgery (整容手术) may remve the lines that frm n the face, the lse skin may be tightened by means f a facelift, and hairdressers may dye gray hair a mre yuthful clur, but we cannt remain yung frever.(整容手术可以去除脸上的皱纹，松弛的皮肤可以通过拉皮而紧致，美发师可以把白发染成更年轻的颜色，但我们不能永远年轻)”可知，通过整容手术可以去除脸上的皱纹，松弛的皮肤可以通过拉皮手术收紧，因此人们通过拉皮手术来使自己看起来更年轻。故选C项。
【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Hwever, what is imprtant is the quality f life and peple age differently. Sme peple remain quite well and able t lk after themselves when they get ld, but thers f the same age are nt s lucky. They have t g int sheltered husing r even int a residential hme r nursing hme in rder t receive enugh care.(然而，重要的是生活质量和人们年龄的不同。有些人老了还能很好地照顾自己，但其他同龄的人就没这么幸运了。为了得到足够的照顾，他们不得不住进庇护房，甚至住进养老院或养老院)”可知，不能照顾自己的老年人会住在养老院或疗养院。故选A项。
【10题详解】词句猜测题。根据前文“By n means all elderly peple are in this type. Many senir citizens have all their pwers and see retirement (退休) as a time f freedm. Nt nly that, if they have a generus retirement payment, they are likely t be quite well ff, with mney t spend n hlidays and ther things.(并不是所有的老年人都属于这种类型。许多老年人拥有他们所有的权力，并将退休视为自由的时光。不仅如此，如果他们有一笔丰厚的退休金，他们可能会相当富裕，有钱去度假和做其他事情)”可推知，这些老年人有一定的消费能力，即“gray pwer”指的是有消费能力的老年人。故选C项。
【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“By n means, hwever, des everyne treat OAPs (Old Age Pensiner) with respect. There are sme cultures which are nted fr the great respect with which they treat their ld peple, but many peple regard the ld as having a very lw psitin in sciety and treat them accrdingly. Peple in these latter cultures ften feel bad abut ageism and regard ld peple as geriatrics wh have ne ft in the grave. Smene shuld remind them that they, t, will be ld ne day.(然而，并不是每个人都尊重OAPs(老年养老金领取者)。有一些文化以尊重老年人而闻名，但是许多人认为老年人在社会上的地位很低，所以相应地对待他们。在后一种文化中，人们常常对年龄歧视感到不快，认为老年人是一只脚已踏入坟墓的老年病患者。应该有人提醒他们，有一天他们也会变老)”可知，有些人不尊重老年人，把老年人视为低社会地位的人，这是不应该的。作者呼吁人们应该尊重老年人，因此我们可以推断出我们需要对老年人表现出更多的关心和考虑。故选D项。
D
A new study finds that getting a family dg is linked with a big jump in physical activity in yunger kids — especially in yung girls.
In the study, Australian researchers fllwed 600 children ver a three-year perid, starting at preschl age. They tracked the kids’ physical activity and surveyed parents abut their children’s activities — and whether they had a family dg. Half f the children didn’t have a dg.

Bth bys and girls in the study engaged mre frequently in activities like dg walking and playing in the yard after getting a dg. But the impact was prnunced in girls in particular. It shwed that adding a dg t the husehld increased yung girls’ physical activity by 52 minutes a day — r almst an hur. In cntrast, girls whse dg died during the study saw a big drp in their daily physical activity — by 62 minutes a day.
Katie Ptter, a prfessr at the University f Massachusetts Amherst, wh led the study ntes that while the bdy f research is limited, ther studies have als suggested that dgs may have a bit mre f an impact n girls’ activity levels. “We’re nt sure why — if it’s smething abut hw girls and bys differently cmmunicate with r cnnect with their dgs. S we certainly want t learn mre abut this,” Ptter says. Studies shw girls experience a bigger drp in physical activity as they get lder than bys d. “If researchers can find ways t use dgs t get — and keep — girls mving mre, that culd have a real impact n public health.”
Dgs are a big respnsibility, and wning ne is nt fr everyne. But fr dg lvers, welcming a furry friend int the family culd have many benefits. “There’s just smething abut the cnnectin between humans and animals that I think peple just can’t get enugh f,” Ptter says.
12. Hw des the study get its finding accrding t the passage?
A. By cmparing bys’ schl activities with girls.
B. By tracking kids’ lng-term physical activity levels.
C. By studying the number f wning dgs in children.
D. By bserving the relatinship between kids and dgs.
13. What des the underlined wrd “prnunced” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Nticeable.B. Accessible.C. Measurable.D. Reliable.
14. What des prfessr Ptter suggest abut the dg wnership?

【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现，家里养狗能够增加小孩子的体育活动量,尤其是小女孩的体育活动量，这对孩子们的健康有着很大影响。
【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the study, Australian researchers fllwed 600 children ver a three-year perid, starting at preschl age. They tracked the kids’ physical activity and surveyed parents abut their children’s activities — and whether they had a family dg. (在这项研究中，澳大利亚的研究人员对600名儿童进行了为期三年的跟踪调查，从学龄前开始。他们追踪了孩子们的身体活动，并向父母们调查了孩子的活动，以及他们是否养了一只狗)”可知，这项研究通过跟踪孩子们的长期身体活动水平得出结论。故选B项。
【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“It shwed that adding a dg t the husehld increased yung girls’ physical activity by 52 minutes a day — r almst an hur. In cntrast, girls whse dg died during the study saw a big drp in their daily physical activity — by 62 minutes a day. (研究表明，家里养狗会使年轻女孩每天的运动量增加52分钟，差不多一个小时。相比之下，在研究期间狗死了的女孩，她们的日常体育活动大幅减少——每天减少62分钟)”可知，此处具体说明家里养狗会使年轻女孩每天的运动量大幅增加，没有狗的话，她们的运动量则会大幅减少。由此推知，这种影响在女孩身上尤其明显，画线词意思应该是“明显的，显著的”，与Nticeable意思一致。故选A项。
【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Katie Ptter, a prfessr at the University f Massachusetts Amherst, wh led the study ntes that while the bdy f research is limited, ther studies have als suggested that dgs may have a bit mre f an impact n girls’ activity levels. (领导这项研究的马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校教授Katie Ptter指出，虽然研究的主体有限，但其他研究也表明，狗对女孩的活动水平可能有更大的影响)”可知，Ptter教授认为，养狗可以帮助女孩们更积极地锻炼身体。故选B项。
【15题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中Ptter教授所说的话“If researchers can find ways t use dgs t get — and keep — girls mving mre, that culd have a real impact n public health. (如果研究人员能找到利用狗让女孩多运动的方法，这可能会对公众健康产生真正的影响)”可推知，在Ptter教授看来，研究人员进行这项研究是为了了解狗对公众健康的影响。故选B项。

【36题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：摄影师是一位42岁的重庆居民，名叫何雨霜，她说她在重庆第一社会福利院拍摄了这些照片，重庆以山景、辛辣的食物和活泼的文化而闻名。根据句子结构和语境，这里需要一个非谓语动词来描述摄影师的名字。由于name和主语The phtgrapher之间是被动关系，所以应该使用过去分词named作为定语。故填named。
【37题详解】考查代词。句意：摄影师是一位42岁的重庆居民，名叫何雨霜，她说她在重庆第一社会福利院拍摄了这些照片，重庆以山景、辛辣的食物和活泼的文化而闻名。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词性物主代词作定语。故填its。
【38题详解】考查名词。句意：这座城市的传统塑造了这些女士们的生活。空前是介词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，lady意为“女士”，为可数名词，根据these可知，用复数形式。故填ladies。
【39题详解】考查副词。句意：他们中的许多人与家人住在一起，或者经常被朋友和亲戚拜访。句子中需要一个副词来修饰动词visited，所以空处应填副词。故填usually
【40题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：但随着家庭越来越忙于工作和其他责任，提供一些老年人所需的全天候护理可能变得困难。句子中使用了it is difficult t d sth的结构，表示“做某事是困难的”，所以需要用不定式t prvide作为真正的主语。故填t prvide。
【41题详解】考查形容词。句意：对于重庆的许多老年人来说，选择搬进福利院也是一个现实的选择。句子中需要一个形容词来修饰名词chice，表示“实际的选择”，所以应该用practical。故填practical
【42题详解】考查定语从句。句意：这些福利院就像一个社区，人们可以在这里互相交流，从事有趣的活动，比如拍照。空处引导定语从句，先行词是cmmunities，在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【43题详解】考查动词时态。句意：一位106岁的老人在拍摄后拥抱了我，这温暖了我的心。句子中使用了and连接两个并列的句子，根据时态一致原则，第二个句子也应该用一般过去时。故填hugged。
【44题详解】考查介词。句意：她从2007年开始从事公益项目，报道了照顾烧伤儿童、帮助母乳喂养的母亲、帮助偏远农村地区的人们等。句子中提到了“reprting such things”，后面列举了具体的例子，表示“像……这样的事情”，所以应该用like作为介词。故填like。
【45题详解】考查冠词。句意：她说：“今年我想引起公众对白发人群的关注，并为我们生活中的老年女性庆祝。”句子中提到了gray-haired ppulatin，这是一个特指的概念，表示“这个灰白头发的群体”也就是老年人，所以需要用定冠词the来修饰。故填the。
