第二部分 阅读理解（共两节；满分 50分）
第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
When it comes to tricks in life, the following will be of great help, which might surprisingly end up working the
magic.
Hooks that help
There’s nothing worse than throwing something into the trash bin and watching the garbage bag fall in with it. To
prevent this, stick two wall hooks onto the outside of your bin（one on either side）, positioned so they face
downward. The next time you replace the grocery bag, loop its handles through the hooks and no matter how full the
bag gets, it’ll never drop to the bottom of the bin again.
Easier garbage storage
You have probably encountered this: after filling the bag with trash, it forms a vacuum （真空） seal so tight
that it’s a struggle to lift the bag out once it’s full. What to do? Punch a couple of small holes in the sides, a few
centimeters above its base. The holes will allow just enough airflow to make lifting out the trash a piece of cake.
Instant bottle brush
If you have an ordinary kitchen sponge（海绵） and a fork, then you have everything you need for a DIY bottle
brush. Pierce the narrowest edge of the sponge with the fork and slide the sponge down until the points of the fork are
fully covered. You can now clean out the skinniest bottle with ease.
Express drying
Need washed load of laundry dried in a flash? Toss a clean, dry towel into the dryer along with all the wet stuff
for the first 15 minutes of the cycle. It’ll absorb some of the moisture and speed up the overall drying time.
21．What is the key to lifting trash bags?
A．The fork. B．The hook. C．The brush. D．The holes.
22．Why is a dry towel used in the laundry?
A．To take in water. B．To tidy the dryer.
C．To clean the clothes. D．To distinguish the wet stuff.
23．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Various means of saving money. B．Creative ideas on making life fun.
C．DIY solutions for life’s little dilemmas. D．Different ways to promote cooking skills.
B
Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years
ago. McNee was at a dentist appointment in Toronto when he chatted with Mandekic, who was studying to be a
teacher. When she told McNee what a headache it was to get students excited about math, he made a surprising
suggestion, “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”
The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the colleagues were invited to run
a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.
When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly thrilled. Over the next few hours, Mandekic
and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal
percentage, which, in turn, taught them about fractions（分数）. The winning team would be determined based on
which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so
fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we
might be onto something.”
The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other Toronto schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Duane
Douglas, an 8th grader. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made
me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.”
McNee and Mandekic have established a private high school called Uchenna Academy since 2019, where kids
with excellent basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time.
The value of BallMatics is clear: last year, the boys landed university scholarships for their performance in the
classroom, not on the court. McNee and Mandekic believe the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason
why it’s been a winner.
24．What did Mandekic think of teaching math at the beginning?
A．Worrying. B．Shocking. C．Boring. D．Exciting.
25．What does the underlined word “fixated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Calm. B．Impressed. C．Focused. D．Dependent.
26．Duane Douglas was mentioned in paragraph 4 to ______.
A．show the simplicity of math B．prove the success of BallMatics
C．stress the significance of playing D．display his passion for the school
27．What is the best title of the passage?
A．A Simple Entertainment B．A Surprising Discovery
C．A Beautiful Coincidence D．A Winning Combination
C
More than half the world’s population are city residents, and, by 2050, the United Nations predicts that seven in
ten people will be. Architects are having to consider how architecture influences our emotional well-being in urban
settings.
According to Colin Ellard, a research psychologist at Waterloo University, Canada, there is a lot of evidence
which shows “the profound impact that the design of buildings has on how we feel, how we treat one another, and our
overall psychological well-being”. A study from the University of Heidelberg concluded that people raised in the
countryside are less likely to have mental disorders than those raised in the city. The city of Vancouver in Canada,
which is surrounded by mountains and ocean, recognises the need to connect with nature. It has included protecting
ocean and mountain views in its urban planning guidelines. For example, tall buildings are set up in strategic locations
that don’t block scenic views for downtown residents.
The British designer Thomas Heatherwick wants to make architecture less soulless and boring. He told The
Guardian, “We need to fearlessly demand interestingness and make buildings that enrich our senses.” He has listed
seven characteristics of a boring building. These include being too flat and straight. He says lack of depth means light
and shadow cannot play on surfaces, while straight lines are at odds with nature and make buildings dull.
However, making buildings interesting is not always easy, as architect Rafael Vinoly found out in 2013 when he
created the 37-store y skyscraper in London. The building was admired for its curved exterior walls covered in
reflective glass. However, it acted like a magnifying glass and reflected light which melted nearby cars and almost set
fire to a carpet. A screen had to be added to prevent the building causing further damage.
So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that bring you joy, and ideally a view of nature.
28．Why are tall buildings located in certain places in Vancouver?
A．To protect people’s mental health. B．To follow the tradition of the city.
C．To caution people against disorder. D．To reveal the prosperity of the area.
29．Which kind of building is Thomas’ preference?
A．One with straight lines. B．One having flat surfaces.
C．One having a security system. D．One with innovative patterns.
30．What did Rafael Vinoly fail to consider in his design?
A．Boldness. B．Creativity. C．Practicality. D．Flexibility.
31．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To call on people to live in big cities.
B．To compare buildings in different cities.
C．To stress the importance of healthy emotion.
D．To convince people of emotional impact by buildings.
D
According to legend, the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger, who dashed 40km
from the battlefield to Athens, collapsed and died. Over the past 2,500 years, humans have become better at running.
Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022. This can to a large extent be
explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes— “super-shoes”—that offer
athletes greater assistance. Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now
too dominant.
No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded
World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles（鞋底）, which act as springs. When their feet compress
the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again. In 2017 Nike announced the
new technology allowed athletes to use 4% less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe.
Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners’ ability and footwear has
become twisted. Plainly, though, this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners. A club runner may set a
personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa（world champion） wearing
regular shoes. World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal, so there
is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment.
Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory （轨迹）, becoming stronger,
faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the
motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have
to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce. This is a genie （精
灵）that cannot be returned to its shoebox.
32．What has improved female marathon records since 2022?
A．The changes of rules. B．The advance in sports kit.
C．The assistance of coaches. D．The development of humans.
33．What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2?
A．The principle. B．The history. C．The challenge. D．The drawback.
34．Which of the following might the author agree with?
A．Ms. Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes. B．Using super-shoes is regarded as dishonest.
C．Nike Alphaflys better athletes’ performance. D．Access to super shoes determines athletes’ success.
35．What does the last paragraph imply?
A．Athletics should not embrace super-shoes.
B．There is nothing to fear about technological advances.
C．Not all investments have led to advances in technology.
D．It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes.

Up to 80% of premature heart disease can be prevented by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies,
such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 36 . “A small change in your everyday routine can
potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.
Get eight hours of sleep
“ 37 ,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re sleep deprived, our bodies
also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation（发炎） and glucose levels. These factors can all
have an impact on heart health. 38
“We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” says Abramson. “Volunteering gets you out and
creates a social network.” Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2020 showed that a feeling of purpose in
life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack.
Avoid polluted air
Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Breathing in pollutants may irritate
arteries （动脉） and increase inflammation. Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people who already
have other cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure. 39 .
Eat breakfast
A recent study found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost twice more likely to have heart
disease six years later than those consuming a substantial morning meal. One possible reason, “If you eat a proper
breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson.“ 40 .”
A．Engage in voluntary work
B．Socialize to enhance health
C．Others, as a result, slip your mind easily
D．But others may not have crossed your mind
E．We need to keep a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle
F．Everything that happens in your life gets stressful when you stay up
G．Try to get your exercise far away from highways and industrial areas

第二节（满分 25 分）
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。
Adam was kind and considerate, and always deeply cherished his wife Zoe. He knew how much she liked to do
up her long waterfall-like hair and trim her long and delicate fingernails. He knew she loved strawberries in
supermarkets. Meanwhile, Zoe married him without complaint; after all, she loved his diligence, honesty,
consideration and gentle quality. In order to improve their lives, the couple joined the ranks of migrant workers and
moved into the city.
The New Year flavor of the city was still alive, with spring wind blowing and frequent cold wave appearing,
which blocked the smell of spring flowers. The city of the new century was abundant in prosperity and vitality, but it
did not belong to them. Adam set up a bed and a mini coal stove in a building under construction where he worked as
their temporary home; in a plot of land rented in front of a supermarket, Zoe occupied herself steadily by running a
barbecue on a cart （推车）.
Every day, she would push her cart out from her humble home, standing in the chilly wind as the morning mist
rose. After the supermarket closed, she dragged herself back home, exhausted from her daily routine, but in the faith
of love, she lived through each day with hope.
Most days, Adam got off work earlier than her, so he would pick her up at the supermarket and give her a hand.
The cart demonstrated their love at that time. The happy and intimate couple walked home pushing the cart, with the
street lights shining on the road. It was a beautiful scene that no one appreciated.
One day, when Adam got off work later than usual, he found Zoe sleeping soundly. She was so tired that when
she rolled over, she did not even feel her hands sticking out of bed. In grief, he gently took her cold, calloused（长满
老茧的）, swollen, and red hands full of frostbite （冻疮）, tears running down his cheeks.
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。
That night, Adam turned over repeatedly, unable to sleep. _________________________________________
