第二部分" 閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

A

From vibrant， culture-full cities to peaceful areas of outstanding natural beauty， the UK is a diverse destination for travelers. Here are some of the best places to visit in the UK.

Norwich， Norfolk

With 31 surviving medieval churches， Norwich is an easily overlooked historical treasure. Roadside signs read “A Fine City” and the reason is pretty obvious. The pubs are among the best in England， with the oldest Adam amp; Eve dating back to 1249. And with an annual arts festival taking place every May， its modern cultural offerings make it far more than a museum piece.

Dungeness， Kent

Dungeness， the only place designated as a desert in the UK， is completely unique. Located on the Kent coast， its windswept beaches and inland nature reserve， coupled with big skies and sea air， make it the perfect place to spend an afternoon getting the freshest air imaginable.

Manchester

Northern English’s cities often get unfairly crowed together， but there’s a distinctiveness between Leeds， Bradford， Liverpool and Manchester that makes them all worth a visit. It’s the latter， though， that’s the big hitter. The vibrant Northern Quarter is great for shopping， while places such as Birdgewater Hall， Home and the Albert Hall make it the place for culture lovers. Forget complaints about the wet weather in England; Manchester is the real deal.

Glasgow

It’s easy to overlook Glasgow， which is the charm of Edinburgh. But as Scotland’s largest city it easily matches the capital when it comes to architecture， art and culture. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is world-class， while the West End’s shops and bars are the perfect places to spend a relaxing afternoon.

21. What can you see in Norwich， Norfolk？

A. Ancient buildings. B. Beautiful rivers. C. Huge deserts. D. Thick forests.

22. Where can you go if you enjoy experiencing fresh sea air？

A. Norwich， Norfolk. B. Dungeness， Kent. C. Manchester. D. Glasgow.

23. What do Manchester and Glasgow have in common？

A. They have pleasant weather. B. They attract culture lovers.

C. They have convenient transport. D. They are famous for their bars.

B

One January evening in 2008， Rachel Lapierre bought a $4 lottery ticket （彩票） at the grocery store. As a nearly full-time emergency-room nurse and part-time volunteer aid worker， after an exhausting day cutting sugar maples， she needed something to lift her spirits. Lapierre longed to be able to one day quit her nursing job and focus on the volunteer work she found most fulfilling. The next day， the lottery office informed her that she had won a lump sum of $675，000 or $1，000 a week for life. She chose the latter. “I know myself，” she says. “The lump sum would have melted like snow in the sun.”

Staying true to her word， Lapierre quit her nursing job and dedicated her life to helping others through her passion project， LeBook Humanitaire， which has since become a registered charity. LeBook began as a simple list of good deeds Lapierre jotted down in a black-and-white notebook. She had been using it to keep track of what she had done to help those living in the small communities around her.

To her， the deeds were just small acts of kindness. But word started spreading. Her phone began ringing and a Facebook page she created for the project became an efficient way to field （處理） requests from those in need and those who wanted to help.

The non-profit charity now has a team of 80 volunteers. It provides local emergency support， homeless and medical out-reach， food delivery for seniors and a community fridge. Its kitchen volunteers make about 500 meals a day， with all food donated from local restaurants， hospitals and schools.

The book itself？ It has since been replaced by dozens more， representing millions of deeds. In 2022 alone， the organization carried out nearly 450，000 acts of service.

24. What can we learn about Lapierre from the first paragraph？

A. She was very short of money. B. She’s good at managing money.

C. She was kind-hearted. D. She loved her full-time job.

25. What gave Lapierre the idea to help others at first？

A. Her winning the lottery. B. Her love for volunteer work.

C. Her family’s support. D. Her unhappy childhood.

26. What do we know about LeBook Humanitaire？

A. It is a notebook. B. It is a Facebook page.

C. It is a non-profit charity. D. It is run by local communities.

27. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the project？

A. Its expectations. B. Its members.

C. Its present situation. D. Its existing challenges.

C

Fabien Cousteau is the grandson of Jacques Cousteau， an ocean scientist who brought the wonders of the sea to the attention of people around the world. Jacques Cousteau helped invent the aqualung （水肺）， now used by divers everywhere. Fabien Cousteau has followed a similar path， exploring the sea as a scientist and working to protect the oceans.

Oceans cover more than 70% of our planet. National Ocean Atmospheric Administration （NOAA） says we have created maps of less than 20% of the world’s oceans， and only 5% have been explored. Space seems to have gotten much more attention， even though it’s farther away. The International Space Station （ISS） has been around for more than 20 years， and more people have gone to the moon than have gone to the deepest point in the ocean.

“The ocean is our life support system. It is the very reason why we exist in the first place，” Fabien says. Though the ocean is all around us， studying it is a challenge. Divers are limited in how far they can go down and how long they can stay below. Returning to the surface can be dangerous. Fabien has announced a plan to build a large research station under the ocean named Proteus， which is designed to deal with many of those problems. The power for the station is expected to come from solar energy and the movement of the ocean. Fabien says that the research base won’t just be used to study and help protect the sea， but also to research new ways of creating energy， and perhaps even searching for new medicines. Proteus is also expected to have the first underwater greenhouse in the world， so that the lab will be able to grow some of its own food.

Like the ISS， Proteus is designed so that it can grow in the future， as scientists decide to add new sections or equipment to the station.

28. What can we learn about Fabien Cousteau？

A. He’s building an undersea lab. B. He helped invent the aqualung.

C. He’s doing what Jacques once did. D. He took part in the work in the ISS.

29. Why does the author mention the statistics in Paragraph 2？

A. To tell why oceans need exploring. B. To advise people to protect oceans.

C. To show the world’s oceans are vast. D. To prove oceans and space are vital.

30. What word can best describe Proteus？

A. Environment-friendly. B. Water-saving.

C. Expensive. D. Conventional.

31. What is the text mainly about？

A. A research lab growing gradually. B. Fabien’s ocean research achievements.

C. A plan for underwater version of ISS. D. Fabien’s dream about promoting his station.

The new Webb telescope has discovered what appear to be galaxies that date back to within 600 million years of the Big Bang. The six newly discovered objects suggest that the early universe may have been developing unexpectedly fast to produce these huge galaxies.

While the new telescope has spotted even older galaxies， dating to within 300 million years of the beginning of the universe， it’s the size of these six galaxies that shocks the researchers.

“Most galaxies in this era are still small and only gradually growing larger over time，” lead researcher Ivo Labbe of Australia’s Swinburne University of Technology said. “But these six galaxies are fast-tracking to maturity. Why this is the case or how this works is unknown.”

According to the report， which was published in the journal Nature， each of the six objects weighs billions of times more than our sun. In one of them， the total weight of all its stars may be as much as 100 billion times greater than our sun.

The Pennsylvania State University’s Joel Leja， who also took part in the study， said， “What we found is so unexpected that it actually creates problems for science and it might call the whole picture of early galaxy formation into question.”

These galaxy observations were among the first set of data from the $10 billion Webb telescope. Unlike Hubble， the bigger and more powerful Webb can see through clouds of dust with its infrared （紅外的） vision and discover galaxies previously undetected. Scientists hope to eventually observe the first stars and galaxies formed following the creation of the universe 13.8 billion years ago.

The researchers are still waiting for official confirmation. “It’s possible that a few of the objects might not be galaxies， but black holes. One early lesson from Webb is to let go of our expectations and be ready to be surprised，” Labbe said.

32. What is special about the six newly detected objects？

A. Their age. B. Their color. C. Their size. D. Their shape.

33. What do the underlined words “fast-tracking to maturity” in Paragraph 3 mean？

A. Turning quickly. B. Circling smoothly. C. Traveling fast. D. Growing rapidly.

34. What can we learn about the two telescopes？

A. Hubble can see further than Webb. B. Webb is more powerful than Hubble.

C. Webb is much cheaper than Hubble. D. Hubble is relatively bigger than Webb.

35. What does Labbe mean in the last paragraph？

A. The data might not be complete. B. The researchers will be disappointed.

C. He does not agree with Joel Leja. D. The new Webb telescope is unreliable.

Recently， social anxiety disorder is affecting many people’s lives. Over 80% of the university students who took part in a survey tended to avoid social interaction due to an assumed social phobia （恐懼癥）. 36

Having a social phobia can mean physical symptoms like blushing （臉紅）， upset stomach， or having trouble catching your breath. The good news is that it is treatable. 37 Avoiding social situations because of shyness might mean missing out on opportunities or being rude.

I used to be so shy that I avoided greeting people I knew by pretending to scroll on my phone. 38 When I saw him， I started scrolling on my phone as usual to avoid greeting him. But he immediately saw through it and asked， “Why did you pretend not to see me？” After my explanation， he replied， “I can relate to feeling awkward， but once someone realizes that you’re avoiding him， it can come across as rude.”

39 Being afraid of negative comments， they simply shut themselves down so that no one will have the chance to judge them. 40 If you’re lucky enough， you may come across someone who gives direct but honest feedback， like what the senior journalist did for me. But if some people only offer you negative judgment， simply stay away from them. After all， they are not making you any better.

A. But socializing not only leads to judgment.

B. Get to know it’s perfectly fine to make mistakes.

C. Here are some tips for overcoming the fear of social interaction.

D. But is avoiding social interaction equal to having a social phobia？

E. However， my attitude began to change when I met a senior journalist.

F. But if you only feel a bit uncomfortable， it might mean you are just shy.

G. Shy people avoid socializing because they take others’ opinions seriously.

Sanxingdui has produced a wealth of amazing Bronze Age objects. Many of these treasures were 56 （intention） ruined or burnt before being buried， 57 （raise） questions about what they were used for and how they met their end.

Among those objects， a huge bronze mask that 58 （discover） in 2021， measures 71 cm high by 131 cm wide， and 59 （date） back to around 1300 BC—1100 BC. It is the largest bronze mask ever found at the site. The face， eyes， and ears were cast separately and then connected together. The openings in the centre of the forehead and on both sides of the face were intended to attach the mask 60 something. Remains of silk have been observed near the right eye—clues for 61 （far） research into the use and function of the mask.

The bronze masks， heads， and statues discovered were distinctive in China， and indeed anywhere else.

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。

When I was in middle school， I became blind. Suddenly thrown into a world of darkness， I was troubled by frustration and self-pity. Depression consumed me and I was frightened to try anything challenging.

Imagine my surprise when my teacher asked me to enter a speaking contest. I rejected it out of hand. Among so many students， why did she pick me？ I was an average student， blind and plain-looking. Anyhow， she insisted that I go for it. Her reply： “Because I believe you can deliver a good speech. You are more capable than you imagine！” Encouraged by her words， I agreed to give it a shot.

I decided on a fictional mole （鼴鼠） as my topic. It was a cute creature with poor eyesight mostly living underground， digging holes and helping get rid of pests. Not a brilliant idea， but unique， and undoubtedly a relatable tale.

What did the mole think as he fought his way in the darkness？ Would he get scared？ Have second thoughts？ Want to quit？ It struck a chord immediately. I got exhausted from preparing the speech. I had doubts about my choice. I wanted to escape from reality. But， like the blind mole， I kept it up. I doubled my efforts. I checked out books from the school library; I referred to some great speeches; I turned to my father for guidance.

A week before the competition， I presented my speech to my teacher. She smiled， saying， “Good. Now， polish your writing and practice your delivery.” I couldn’t remember how many times I made adjustments to my writing. Nor could I recall how I practiced it over and over again， with mixed feelings. “Could my message get across to the audience？” “How would they react？” Tons of questions crowded into my mind.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150 左右。

The big day finally arrived.

I went up to my teacher after the award ceremony.
