第二部分 閱讀理解(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,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
A
If you’re looking for some thrills, Britain’s theme parks are great places to spend a
summer’s day. Here’s our guide to four best theme parks in the UK and the reasons you’ll love them.
Thorpe Park, Surrey
Thorpe Park is probably Britain’s scariest theme park. Built on an island in an artificial lake, it offers several aquatic-themed rides including Tidal Wave, Colossus and Nemesis Inferno. Another big attraction is Derren Brown’s Ghost Train, a high-tech version of the fairground
rides that terrified generations of British children.
Cost: Tickets start from £30
Crealy Adventure Park, Devon
Beautiful English countryside and some fun rides: what’s not to like? Crealy Adventure
Park is home to the 12-metre high Twister rollercoaster offering 310 metres of twists and turns.
It also offers more wet and soft thrills in the form of the Tidal Wave log flume, which drops you and your fellow riders 40 feet into a pool of water.
Cost: Tickets start at £16
Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool
This theme park is home to the UK’s tallest rollercoaster, looping (環(huán)形) coaster and
2
suspended looping coaster—so if you are an adrenaline junkie then this one is for you.
Cost: Tickets start at £27
Chessington World of Adventures, Chessington
You can combine a visit to this theme park with a visit to Chessington’s famous zoo (home
to more than 1, 000 animals)—but the thing to do at Chessington is to challenge yourself to go on the Dragon’s Fury spinning coaster that has a vertical turn.
Cost: Tickets start at £28
21.Which item has existed for decades?
A.Tidal Wave. B.Nemesis Inferno.
C.Dragon’s Fury spinning coaster. D.Derren Brown’s Ghost Train.
22.How much should a couple pay if they are to visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach?
A.£32. B.£54. C.£56. D.£ 60.
23.Which park will an animal lover probably choose?
A.Thorpe Park, Surrey. B.Crealy Adventure Park, Devon.
C.Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool. D.Chessington World of Adventures, Chessington.
B
Last month, I was sorting through an old box when I came across a time capsule, in purple and green floss(絲線). Faded(褪色的)and worm, it was a friendship bracelet(手鏈)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating; physical and concrete, like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it
was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each
other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as
bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord(一種聊天軟件)in chats that only pause
3
but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making
bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
24.Why does the author associate a bracelet with a time capsule?
A.It is faded and worn. B.It reminds her of her childhood.
C.It is shaped like a capsule. D.It was made by the author herself.
25.What does the underlined word “intoxicating” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Professional. B.Temporary. C.Exciting. D.Strange.
26.Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers?
A.They make more friends at summer camp.
B.They spend too much time on their cellphones.
C.They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents.
D.They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
27.What can be inferred about the friendship bracelets?
A.They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold onto.
B.They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
C.They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.
D.They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.
C
Some earlier studies had found no clear color preference among mosquitoes. One study
found they prefer blue, another that they prefer yellow-green. What should people make of such conflicting results?
The apparent color of an object doesn’t just depend on the wavelengths of light it gives off,
Claire Rusch explains, who studies mosquitoes for years. It also can be affected by the
brightness of that light and its contrast against surrounding colors. Humans see an object’s color largely in terms of the wavelengths of light it gives off. But other creatures’ eyes may be more sensitive to contrast or brightness. “We needed to control all of those variables to really be sure a mosquito’s preferences came from the wavelength of the object,” Rusch says.
To do this, she designed a test chamber (室) that was 450 mosquito-body-lengths long in
4
her experiment. Lined with cameras, it recorded the insects’ flight patterns. Two small colored disks laid on the floor of the chamber.
Since the researchers wanted to know if mosquitoes were attracted to certain colors, the
disks couldn't be the darkest or brightest objects in the chamber. Otherwise, it would be unclear if the mosquitoes were attracted to the disks’ color, contrast or brightness. So, the researchers projected a chessboard pattern onto the floor of the chamber and gray along the walls. That way, if the mosquitoes went to the colored disks, it could only be due to the disks’ color.
The researchers released about 50 starved mosquitoes into the chamber at a time. Because
mosquitoes don't start hunting until they’ve sensed CO2, so the team sprayed (噴) CO2 inside the chamber. They found before CO2 was sprayed, the mosquitoes ignored all the colored disks. With CO2, mosquitoes ignored any disk that was green, blue or purple. But the insects did fly toward disks that were red, orange or light blue. They seemed to especially like red.
To further investigate that, the team placed disks with different skin tones. But the mosquitoes didn't seem to prefer any particular skin colors. All were equally attractive. 28.What can be inferred about mosquitoes from the first two paragraphs?
A.The wavelengths determine the color of an object.
B.The background color affects mosquitoes’ eyesight.
C.Mosquitoes’ eyes are not sensitive to color contrast.
D.Testing their color preference is not so easy.
29.What might affect the result of the experiment?
A.The length of the chamber. B.The number of mosquitoes.
C.The brightness of the disks. D.The pattern of the chessboard.
30.Why is CO2 used in the experiment?
A.To take clearer photos of mosquitoes. B.To stimulate mosquitoes to look for food.
C.To slow down the speed of mosquitoes. D.To raise the temperature in the chamber.
31.What can be Rusch’s research finding?
A.Cool colors can drive mosquitoes away.
B.Skin colors are mosquitoes’ favorite.
C.People in red may attract most mosquitoes.
D.All colors are equally attractive to mosquitoes.

Samsung Electronics America announced that Galaxy device owners can make their own
5
repairs to the Galaxy S20 and S21 family of products, as well as the Galaxy Tab S7+, starting August 2nd.
Samsung is cooperating with iFixit, the leading online repair community, to deliver their

charging ports. In the future, Samsung plans to expand self-repair to include more devices and repair options from our extensive product portfolio (檔案).
Furthermore, the program makes it easy for consumers to return their thrown-away parts
for responsible recycling, as the new display kits will come with a return label to ship thrown-away parts back to Samsung — at no cost to the consumer.
In addition to the convenience of these new self-repair options, Galaxy smartphone owners
have a choice on how they can extend the life of their devices across Samsung’s expansive care options, including: Through Samsung’s perfect care network, customers have access to over 11,000 Samsung Mobile certified repair technicians in the U.S.

第二節(jié) (共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Science shows that stretching isn’t actually literal — you’re not even “stretching” your muscles at all. _______36_______. It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?
? You could feel sick
You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a
period of time. _______37_______, experts will tell you that it’s just as important to “get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.” This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down.”
“After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body
temperature is higher and your blood vessels are dilated,” write the health experts at the
American Heart Association. “This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick. _______38_______. ”
? Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore
When you exercise your muscles, it produces an inflammatory response in the form of lactic acid, which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest — or “recover” — in the time between bouts of exercise, your body naturally breaks down and gets rid of that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body dispose of that lactic acid?
_______39_______. Stretching helps your distribute oxygen throughout your body and
muscles, which, according the Healthline, “can reduce lactic acid production and rid your
muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid. ”
? _______40_______
Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often
7
feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking
to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A.You’ll be at risk of injury
B.You guessed it: Stretching
C.While it’s great to get that blood flowing
D.You have to improve your flexibility by stretching
E.If you want some clever ways to work your muscles more every day
F.A cool-down after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode
G.In fact, the true purpose of stretching is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle

My son had just gotten his driving license. On the way home, I _41_ the car to a side road, unfastened my seat belt, and _42_ places with him. “Okay,” I said. “I want you to drive home.”
Sitting behind the steering wheel, his body looked tense and _43_. “Mom,” he said quietly,
“I can’t do this. I’m not ready.”
“It’s okay,” I said. “You’re _44_ going to feel ready. At some point, you just have to go for it.”

make you do something you’re not comfortable with. I’m proud of you for the choice you made.”
This was the exact _54_ of what I expected him to say.

A new study reveals that plants have their own “ bedtime alarm clock ” that helps them survive the night. Researchers at the University of York have discovered that plants possess an internal signal which they believe tells them _56_ amount of sugar they have in their systems at dusk. Plants use sunlight to make _57_ ( they ) own sugars from photosynthesis (光合作用)during the day and store them to provide energy during the night.
Plants’ ability to predict sunrise and estimate the _58_ ( long ) of the night, as well as adjust metabolism (新陳代謝), _59_( depend ) on a biological time-keeper called a circadian clock. This is a network of genes which drives rhythms of _60_ ( rough ) 24 hours. Biologists think it
is this signal or so-called “ alarm ” _61_ gives plants the information they need to adjust their
metabolism in the dark nighttime hours to stay alive.
The researchers discovered a set of genes _62_ ( regulate ) by the chemical compound superoxide, which _63_ ( associate ) with metabolic activity. And they found by stopping the production of superoxide, they also stopped the effect of sugar _64_ these circadian clock genes in the evening, _65_ ( reveal ) the plants’ so-called “ alarm ”

“Ugh, chicken rolls again? I hate chicken rolls!” Matt yelled. “I’m not eating this.” Matt’s
mom and dad looked at each other. Matt’s outbursts had been happening at least once a week all summer long.
“You know what, Matt? We re going to let you take over dinnertime from now on. You can
pick the meals and cook them, as long as they’re healthy,” Mom said.
“Good, we’re going to eat good food every night!” Matt answered.
The next day, Dad sat down with Matt to make the meal plan so he could go grocery
shopping. Matt had already been thinking about his favorite dinners. “We’re going to have beef tonight, and spaghetti tomorrow, and macaroni (通心粉) and cheese the next day,” Matt started.
“Woah, hold on now,” Dad said. “What else are we going to have with the beef? We need to
have at least one vegetable with each meal, and usually we have another side to go with it.”
“Oh, yeah. Um, we can have corn with the beef,” Matt said.
“Sophia does not like corn,” said Dad.
“Well, it’s my choice, so I’m going to make corn,” Matt replied.
10
“OK, but she might complain at dinner tonight. Are you ready for that?” Dad asked. “Yeah, whatever,” Matt answered.
Matt and his dad spent the next hour figuring out the whole week’s meals and side dishes. It
was a lot more work than Matt expected, and almost every time he picked something out, his
dad would tell him that someone in the family wouldn’t like it. It was very frustrating. “This is impossible!” Matt said.
“Yes, it is hard. Your mother and I try very hard to make everyone happy, but everyone has
different tastes, and sometimes, we just can’t please everyone.”
“Fine, we’ll have to just go with this plan this week. Next week I’ll try to make everyone happy,” replied Matt.
