(80分鐘106分)
Part A
一、閱讀理解(共8小題;每小題2分,滿分16分)
A
I am a single working mother and going to college for a better life for my three-year-old child and myself.I am taking a nurse course called “Urban Community”.We were asked to do a major project on problems in urban communities.I chose the topic “Homeless”.
Each day I would walk down the streets of the homeless and offer them something to drink and to eat.I know it’s tough to survive on the streets.Last night I ran into a group of 30 kids who were living on the streets in New York.My heart went out to them and I just wanted to cry.But I had to be strong.?
I asked about their families and if they contacted them to let them know they were alive.Most of them said,“NO!” They all looked like a happy family and they took care of one another.I tried to persuade them to get help and to contact their families but they did not want to.I did not want to make them to do it as they had their own reasons.
All these kids were very respectful.None of them was high on drugs nor were they drinking.Some of them enjoyed reading and writing.Some of them enjoyed skateboarding,dancing and playing music.
One girl asked me if I could give her a hug and I did so.She started to cry and said,“Thank you for not treating us as freaks(怪人)like everyone else does.People don’t realize that we all have our own problems and some are worse than others.” She told me that her stepfather was extremely mean to her and her mother did not believe her.She ran away.Her street name was Little Mary.
They were good kids just trying to make ends meet.I told them that I didn’t have much to offer because I was a single mother.I had offered them sandwiches and drinks.They were so happy to have something to eat and told me that I couldn’t change the world but at least there was someone who really cared.

【文章大意】本文是篇記敘文。“我”是一位單身媽媽,在上大學期間就城市社區問題做課題時,“我”了解到那些流落街頭的問題孩子的具體情況,號召人們要關心這些無家可歸的孩子。
1.C 句意理解題。根據第二段中的“I just wanted to cry”可知,“我”很同情那些在街上流浪的孩子們。
2.D 推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“I tried to persuade them to get help and to contact their families but they did not want to.I did not want to make them to do it as they had their own reasons.”可知,“我”盡力勸說孩子們得到幫助并和家人聯系,但他們不想這樣做,“我”認為他們有自己的理由。因此推測“我”理解他們。
3.D 細節理解題。根據第五段中的“She told me that her stepfather was extremely mean to her and her mother did not believe her.”可知,她的繼父對她特別刻薄,而她的媽媽不相信她說的話。
4.B 標題歸納題。根據第一段中的“I chose the topic ‘Homeless’.”可知,“我”選擇的課題是“無家可歸的人”,全篇文章圍繞此主題展開。
B
As we grow old,we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to.Yet re-readers are everywhere around us.For certain fans,re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually.One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him,despite his having read it over 50 times.
New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading.Journalist Rebecca Mead,a long-time Englishwoman in New York,first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17.Since then,she has read it again every five years.With each re-reading,it has opened up further;in each chapter of her life,it has resonated(引起共鳴) differently.Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads,but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines.These kinds of books grow with us.?
Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading.Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading,we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”.Second time round,we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express.As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained,returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”
It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages).These texts can carry us back to a time and place,and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience—by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.
More so than the movie director or the musician,the writer calls upon our imaginations,using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life.A book is a joint project between writers and readers,and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.
Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often.After all,we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once.We treasure messy old paintings as objects,yet of all art forms,literature alone is a largely one-time delight.A book,of course,takes up more time,but as Mead confirms,the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.

【文章大意】本文是一篇議論文,闡述了重復閱讀的重要性,號召我們重復閱讀。

The darker it is,the more “invisible” you might feel,the less easy 7. is to see how much you’re eating and the less guilty you might feel.Seeing the sunlight,8.(passer-by)or trees outside might make you more aware 9. how you look,might make you think about walking or might inspire you to choose a green salad.?
The researchers also noted that slim diners chewed around 15 times per mouthful,three chews more than heavier diners.By 10.(eat) more slowly,the diner spends less time it takes for the brain to feel full.
(2024·河北邯鄲質檢)
1.the。根據句意可知,此處特指“每家飯店的設計風格”,故應該用定冠詞the來修飾。
2.to track。此處表示研究人員用菜單來追蹤顧客所點的菜和他們所坐位置之間的關系,表目的,故填to track。
3.farthest。根據“ate the fewest salads”可知,這里說的是坐在離前門最遠的顧客吃最少的沙拉,故填farthest。
4.were。主語是people,謂語用復數形式,且所填詞與前面動詞ate并列,同作謂語動詞,故填were。
5.seated。seated“就座的,坐著的”,表示“坐著的”狀態,相當于sitting,故填seated。
6.while/and。句子的前后對比了“at a dark table”和“sitting at high-top bar tables”兩種位置的顧客的點菜情況,可以用while表示對比,也可以看作由and連接的兩個并列分句。故填while或and。
7.it。“It is+形容詞+to do sth.”意為“做某事怎么樣”,it是形式主語,不定式是真正的主語,故填it。
8.passers-by。passer-by是一個合成詞,中心詞為passer,其復數形式為passers-by。
9.of。be aware of“知道,了解”,為固定搭配,故填of。
10.eating。by為介詞,后跟動名詞作賓語,故填eating。
