Overhead the sky was dotted with stars. “Watch!” Incredibly, as his father spoke, one of the stars moved. In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonishing heavens. And before the wonder of this could fade, another star leaped from its place, then another, plunging (猛降) towards the restless sea.“What’s this?” the child whispered.“Shooting stars. They come every year on a certain August night. I thought you’d like to see the show.”That was all: just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful. But, back in bed, the child stared for a long time into the dark, knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars.Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep. No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment, but those are forgotten now. What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, the telegraph we made that really worked, and the things we had found that were encouraged to exhibit — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins, seashells, flowers,... I remember the thought-provoking (引人深思的) books left by my bedside that broadened my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life.My father had the gift for opening doors for his children and leading them into areas of splendid newness. This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child’s world doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time. It simply involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them.24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?A. The child was still addicted to the beautiful scenery just now.B. The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness. C. The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars. D. The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him.25. All the things the author remember from his childhood are _______.A. unusual and novel B. dangerous and demandingC. strange and uncommonD. educational and thought-provoking26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Parents should intervene more in their children’s learning.B. Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own. C. Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children.D. Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life.27. What’s this passage mainly about?A. Limitless knowledge B. Father, the hero of my lifeC. Curiosity aroused that night D. The unusual things in my lifeCA recent survey in the US found that young people visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. Libraries are also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are that you have similar interests.And then, too, there are the books. Young people are turning out to be big readers of paper books. Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th_century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fueled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 1980s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library.28. What does the underlined word “aesthetic” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Visually appealing. B. Similarly private.C. Spiritually relaxing. D. Economically practical.29. Why do many young people choose to read paper books despite having smartphones?A. Paper books are cheaper than smartphones.B. Paper books are easier to carry around.C. Paper books are a form of nostalgic entertainment. D. Paper books offer a distraction-free reading experience.30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The popularity of TikTok in New York.B. A gathering attended by strangers free of charge.C. A new reading trend integrating the old and new. D. Historical costumes and their appeal to young readers.31. Why does the author mention a “family reading hour” in paragraph 4?A. To highlight her success in parenting the children.B. To illustrate her attempt to combine personal and joint reading habits.C. To criticize the lack of interest in performance amongfamily members.D. To emphasize the importance of dressing formally during family activities.DAccording to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫).Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator- friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities and now there are guidelines for solar farms.Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.32. What do solar developers often ignore?A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology.33. What does InSPIRE aim to do?A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.34. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To conserve pollinators.B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy.D. To ensure the supply of energy.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the FutureC. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development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。Tips for Planning a Nature Walk With Your ChildWhen it comes to planning a nature walk, the key tip to keep in mind is to have fun with it! 36 If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally. Let your children get dirty.If your little one is anxious to crawl (爬) in the dirt to get a better look at worms, then go for it! 37 Research suggests that kids who play the dirt are exposed to bacteria, germs and viruses that can help build their immune (免疫) system and reduce the risks of certain allergies and illnesses later in life. 38 Encourage them to stop to turn over rocks, touch moss, and when they can, climb on and over rocks and fallen trees. Whatever the environment, which you assess for any unreasonable danger, the children can set the pace — stimulating confidence, flexibility, problem-solving, creativity, and a sense of wonder. Get creative. 39 Davis suggests pretending to play, such as using a stick as a sword or magic wand, or making up stories about the items found during your walk. Your findings also work great for an art project. “Collecting rocks on your nature walk can later be painted and re-purposed as beautiful works of art,” says Davis. Let older children be more adventurous.For the older kids, it’s all about making a deeper connection with the world around them. With older kids, you can encourage them to connect with nature on a deeper level by exploring their senses. 40 A．Assess the environment.B．Have your children lead the way.C．Nature is perfect for a child’s creativity.D．Nature walks don’t have to be complicated.E．Dirt might get a bad reputation, but it shouldn’t.F．Try having them walk barefoot on different surfaces.G．Give them the freedom to play in their own ways.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。During a trip to San Diego, my husband Dan and I came across two stars, Gracie and Billy, at the Bahia Resort Hotel.

You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day.“Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off.He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her.“Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out.Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed (发誓) to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children.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。Para. 1Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot.

For one thing, with numerous remarkable advantages, not only does it significantly enhance our reaction speed and concentration, but it also serves as an excellent means for us to build up our body. For another, it’s quite workable/practical for the school sports festival, considering that there are many ping-pong tables available on campus. Moreover, table tennis is suitable for players of all skill levels and popular among our students. Hence, organizing competitions would be relatively effortless. I firmly believe that table tennis would be an excellent option, bringing substantial benefits to the students.读后续写范文一：Finally, he saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. Jeffery felt relieved and delighted to see the girl staying safe and sound. Trying to calm himself, Jeffery decided to talk to her gently. He inquired about her name and why she had left home. “I was going to Grandma’s house. My mom wouldn’t let me go.” Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor. “Your parents are searching for you, and they’ll be here soon,” he assured her, and the little girl gave him a small smile.A few minutes later, the police and another car approached them. A woman got out of the vehicle and rushed toward Sarah. The little girl got up and ran to her, yelling, “Mommy!” The police officers approached Jeffrey and he told them the entire story and how he regretted not letting her on the bus, so he came to find her. Sarah’s parents thanked him for what he had done. From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job.听 力 材 料Text 1 W: How is the weather today?M: It’s beautiful.

The tale is even stranger when you consider that it might be true. The story started during the 12th century when villagers came across two young children — a girl and a boy with green skin. Their words made no sense and they were acting nervously. (18) The children were taken to the home of a wealthy man, who cared for them. (19) At first, they refused to eat. The children lived with the man for some time, and eventually started eating. After they did so, their skin lost its green color. The children also slowly learned to speak English, and were then asked where they had come from. They said they came from “the land of St. Martin”. They had been looking after sheep when they heard the sound of bells and followed the sound to where they were found. The boy later died but the girl grew up, married, and had a child. So, who were the strange green children? The most likely explanation is that they were the children of Flemish immigrants whose parents had died.

(仅此而已:只是对神秘而美丽事物的意外一瞥。)”并结合上文父亲抱着熟睡的作者去看流星的场景可知，在这个夜晚，作者看到了神秘而美丽的流星雨，再根据画线句 “But, back in bed, the child stared for a long time into the dark, knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars. (但是，回到床上，孩子在黑暗中凝视了很长一段时间，知道在安静的房子周围，夜晚充满了星星落下的无声音乐。)” 可推知，作者回到床上躺着后，依然沉浸在刚刚看到的美丽景色之中，故选A。25．A. 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep (我是一个幸运的男孩，他的父亲认为，对一个小男孩来说，一次新的经历比一个完整夜晚的睡眠更重要)”和“What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, the telegraph we made that really worked, and the things we had found were encouraged to exhibit—anything unusual or beautiful --snake skins, seashells, flowers, ...(我记得的是流星的夜晚，我们制作的真的很管用的电报，我们这些孩子被鼓励展示我们发现的东西一任何不寻常或美丽的东西-蛇皮、贝壳、花……)可推出，作者记得的童年里的那些事物都非常独特、新颖，故选A。26．D. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My father had the gift of opening doors for his children and leading them into areas of splendid newness. (我父亲有一种了不起的天赋，那就是为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域。)”可知，父亲为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域，激发出了他们探索的兴趣。由此可推测出，父母应该鼓励孩子们保持好奇心，探索生活中的新事物, 故选D。27．C. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文首先描述了几十年前的一个夏日夜晚父亲抱起熟睡的作者，带作者去看流星，再根据第五段中的“Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep. (几十年过去了，但我仍然记得那个夜晚，因为我是一个幸运的男孩，他的父亲认为，对一个小男孩来说，一次新的经历比一个完整的夜晚更重要。)”和最后一段中的“My father had the gift of opening doors for his children and leading them into areas of splendid newness. (我父亲有一种了不起的天赋，那就是为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域。)” 可知，那个夜晚父亲让作者体验了新的事物，父亲总能够激发孩子们去探索新事物，使孩子保持好奇心。由此可推测出，C项“那晚激发的好奇心”最适合作本文标题，故选C。C篇【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了年轻一代热衷图书馆，视其为舒适、免费社交空间和能展现个性品味的地点。尽管电子设备普及，他们仍偏爱纸质书阅读以享受静谧时光，同时创新阅读方式如酒吧共读，融合社交与阅读。作者虽偏好私读，却赞赏年轻读者为图书馆注入新活力的观点。28．考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and—as my 11-year-old would say—‘aesthetic’. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video.” 年轻人喜欢图书馆，因为它们安全、舒适、免费，而且—正如我11岁的儿子所说—‘aesthetic’。这意味着它们在Instagram帖子或TikTok视频的背景中看起来很好。可知，划线词aesthetic意思是“有美感的，视觉上吸引人的”，故选A。29．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.” 尽管他们口袋里有智能手机，这种有史以来最具干扰性的设备，许多人还是故意选择拿起一件15世纪的技术。他们喜欢书籍是自成一体的，需要集中注意力。可知，许多年轻人选择阅读纸质书籍是因为纸质书籍提供了一个无干扰的阅读体验，故选D。30．考查段落大意。根据第三段中的“In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.” 例如，在纽约，最新的TikTok热潮是在酒吧里与陌生人一起阅读。你必须提前买票，然后大家聚在一起，安静地坐30分钟，读你带来的任何一本书。就像去图书馆的昂贵版本，除了之后你们都喝一杯，谈论书。可知，第三段主要讲的是一种融合了旧与新的新的阅读趋势，故选C。31．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a ‘family reading hour’, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬).” 有一次，在雄心勃勃的育儿冲动下，我推出了“家庭阅读时间”，在此期间，我的丈夫和孩子们被迫和我一起在炉边默读。如果我们戴上大礼帽，穿上裙衬，也不会感觉更有表演感。可知，作者提到“家庭阅读时间”是为了说明她试图将个人和共同的阅读习惯结合起来，故选B。D篇【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。32．隐含意义推断题。根据第二段中的Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil (通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者) 可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生了问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响，故答案选B项。33．动作倾向题。根据第三段中的InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact solar development,which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land (InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场)可知，InSPIRE采用更好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是目的使得太阳能农场更加环保，故答案选C项。34．动作倾向题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. (超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)” 可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者，故答案选A项。35．标题判断题。根据最后一段中的Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction (在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放)可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍新发展的太阳能农场，故选D项。七选五【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了计划与孩子一起在大自然散步的几点建议。36．后文“If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally.(如果孩子们有机会体验大自然，即使是简单的方式，互动和参与也会自然而然地随之而来)”谈到，如果给予孩子探索自然的机会，即便是简单的方式，孩子也会自然地互动和参与起来，据此可以推断出此处应该谈到大自然散步是一件并不复杂的事情，D项“自然漫步并不一定要很复杂”符合语境，故选D。37．根据前文“If your little one is anxious to crawl (爬) in the dirt to get a better look at worms, then go for it!(如果你的孩子急于在泥土里爬，以便更好地观察蠕虫，那就去做吧)”和后文“Research suggests that kids who play the dirt are exposed to bacteria, germs and viruses that can help build their immune (免疫) system and reduce the risks of certain allergies and illnesses later in life.(研究表明，玩泥巴的孩子会接触到细菌、病菌和病毒，这些细菌和病毒可以帮助他们建立免疫系统，降低日后患某些过敏和疾病的风险)”可知，此处与dirt有关，结合后文谈到的好处可以推断出于dirt的优缺点有关，E项“肮脏可能会有坏名声，但它不应该”符合语境，故选E。38．根据本段内容“Encourage them to stop to turn over rocks, touch moss, and when they can, climb on and over rocks and fallen trees. Whatever the environment, which you assess for any unreasonable danger, the children can set the pace — stimulating confidence, flexibility, problem-solving, creativity, and a sense of wonder.(鼓励他们停下来翻石头，摸苔藓，如果可以的话，爬上石头和倒下的树。无论环境如何，你评估任何不合理的危险，孩子们都可以设定节奏——激发信心，灵活性，解决问题的能力，创造力和惊奇感)”可知，本段谈到鼓励孩子们多去跟大自然接触，去体验不同的环境，家长在确保环境安全的前提下，让孩子确定与大自然接触的节奏，B项“让孩子们带路”符合本段主旨，故选B。39．根据本段小标题“Get creative.(变得有创造力)”可知，本段于创造力有关，结合本段末句“Collecting rocks while on your nature walk can later he painted and re-purposed as beautiful works of art(在大自然中散步时收集的岩石可以在以后被他绘画并重新利用为美丽的艺术品)”可知，C项“大自然对激发孩子的创造力再合适不过了”符合本段主题，故选C。40．结合本段小标题 “Let older children be more adventurous.(让大一点的孩子更有冒险精神)”可知，本段主题是“让大一点的孩子更有冒险精神”，前文“With older kids, you can encourage them to connect with nature on a deeper level by exploring their senses.(对于大一点的孩子，你可以通过探索他们的感官来鼓励他们与自然建立更深层次的联系)”提到通过探索感官来鼓励孩子接触大自然，F项“试着让他们赤脚在不同的地面上行走”是具体的方法，故选F。完型填空【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者在圣地亚哥的Bahia Resort Hotel度假期间与两只居住在那里的海豹Gracie和Billy的互动经历，展现了一则关于克服逆境、寻找生命中的喜悦和感激的故事。41．选B。在一次前往圣地亚哥的旅行中，我和丈夫Dan在 Bahia Resort Hotel遇见了两位明星, Gracie和Billy。它们实际上是两只海豹。42．选D。结合前面的内容可知，与Gracie的严重视觉障碍相呼应，表明 Billy也有视觉上的问题，符合句法结构上的平行性。43．选A。尽管有这些缺陷，它们仍然快乐地生活，在池塘里优雅地玩耍和移动。我每天都去看望它们，被它们的热情和快乐所吸引。44．选D。这里描述了Gracie对饲养员的存在作出反应的方式。考虑到Gracie有严重的视觉障碍，它可能通过非视觉方式感知到饲养员，比如通过声音或触觉。45．选B。结合前面的“swam towards him”和后面的“under and swim away at the last second”以及上文 playful，说明Gracie突然潜人水下然后游走。46．选C。这里描述了Billy加入了一个活动，这个活动带来了欢乐的水上场景。根据前文Gracie和饲养员的互动，我们可以推断这是一个愉快的、可能具有游戏性质的活动。47．选B。这里描述了作者花费大量时间与Gracie和Billy相处的情景，观察这两只海豹。48．选A。这里描述了作者与Gracie和Billy之间形成的某种强烈的情感联系。49．选B。这里提到Dan注意到了作者的某种表现，而这种表现让Dan认为作者爱上了Gracie和 Billy。这表明作者对海豹展现出了强烈的兴趣或情感投入。50．选A。这句话描述了Gracie和Billy的适应能力给作者留下了深刻的印象。51．选A。“ Terrified of losing my vision…”这句话揭示了作者害怕失去视力,暗示了作者的担忧与视力有关。52．选B。作者受到Gracie和Billy 生活态度的启发，提醒自己专注于自己能做的事情。53．选C。考虑到Gracle和Billy的适应能力和作者从中得到的正面启示，enthusiasm描述了海豹对生活的积极态度。54．选D。这里描述了作者在视力问题中乐于接受了这些简单的快乐，如享受美食和重新发现对运动的热爱。55．选B。考虑到作者从海豹身上找到了光明，我们可以推断作者的身体状况有所改善。语法填空(略)
