Sia was 13 when she nticed the bareft children f wrkers at a cnstructin site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking arund just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were s different frm hers.
Sia went back hme and saw shes piled up high — many f which hadn't been wrn fr mnths. Then she rushed t distribute them t the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help f her parents and cmmunity vlunteers, Sia funded Sle Warrirs, a charity cmmitted t prviding shes t thse in need, whse mtt is: “Dnate a sle(鞋), save a sul.”
The idea quickly grew. After she spread the wrd with psters, enquiries frm peple wh wanted t help came flding in. Nw in its fifth year, the rganizatin cllects used shes, refurbishes(翻新) it and dnates the finished prducts t peple in need. That need is endless. In the wrld, an estimated 300 millin peple can't affrd shes. Of the nearly 24 billin shes made every year, shckingly mre than 90 percent end up in dustbins.
In its first distributin, Sle Warrirs cllected and gave ut 700 pairs f shes. Tday that number rises t 28,000 acrss fur cuntries. But the rganizatin's grwth met with many challenges. When it came t lking fr a cmpany that wuld d the refurbishments free f charge, Sia faced ne barrier after anther befre finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-ld, I did face a lt f prejudice because peple were less willing t hear what I say.” says Sia.
In recgnitin f her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It’s ne f the mst remarkable hnrs a yung persn can receive fr scial actin. But her wrk isn't dne. “Our gal has always been t tuch a millin feet,” she says.
21. Why des the authr mentin Sia’s visit t a cnstructin site?
A. T display Sia’s genersity.
B. T aruse readers’ sympathy.
C. T shw the life f cnstructin wrkers.
D. T explain why Sia started Sle Warrirs.
22. Hw des Sle Warrirs ffer help?
A. By urging gvernments t make jint effrts.
B. By dnating refurbished shes t thse in need.
C. By cllecting secnd-hand shes frm dustbins.
D. By searching fr cmpanies t make new shes fr free.
23. What difficulty did Sia have in develping the rganizatin?
A. Their dnatin culdn’t meet peple’s demand.
B. The prcess f refurbishment was t cmplicated.
C. Her request was rejected by quite a few cmpanies.
D. Few peple were willing t give away their ld shes.
24. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Being a scialist is Sia’s dream.
B. The Diana Award is awarded annually.
C. Sia felt ttally satisfied with her scial actin.
D. Sia wuld nt stp her wrk with Sle Warrirs.
【语篇导读】本篇讲述了13岁女孩Sia成立慈善机构Sle Warrirs为赤脚儿童捐赠鞋子的故事。
21. D 写作目的题。第一段讲述了Sia目睹了赤脚孩子们的悲惨遭遇，根据后文“It was then that Sia realized their lives were s different frm hers.” “Then she rushed t distribute them t the children she saw at the building site. ”“Later that year,……Sia funded Sle Warrirs”可知，这段经历是Sia开始帮助赤脚孩子们乃至于成立慈善机构的起因与动机，故选D，解释Sia为什么要成立Sle Warrirs。而A选项为展现Sia的慷慨并不准确，文章重点并不只是表现Sia的慷慨这一点，而是她因为一个人的慷慨与善良进一步成立了机构呼吁全世界的人们帮助赤脚孩子们，同时第一段本身不能展现Sia的慷慨，而要同时结合第二段等后文，舍去。B选项为引发读者的同情，C选项为展现建筑工人的生活，均不是作者的主要目的，故舍去。
22. B 细节理解题。根据第三段“the rganizatin cllects used shes, refurbishes(翻新) it and dnates the finished prducts t peple in need.”慈善组织通过收集、翻新用过的鞋子并捐赠出去来帮助孩子，故选择B选项。A选项为督促政府于原文无据，C选项为从垃圾桶里找二手鞋，根据前文“ enquiries frm peple wh wanted t help came flding in”，可以推测鞋子的来源是人们捐赠而非垃圾桶，D选项为寻找公司来免费做新鞋，由于后文谈到的是寻找可以免费翻新鞋子的公司，翻新不等于做新鞋，故全部舍去，选择B选项。
23. C 细节理解题。根据第四段“When it came t lking fr a cmpany that wuld d the refurbishments free f charge, Sia faced ne barrier after anther befre finding a partner. ‘Being a 13-year-ld, I did face a lt f prejudice because peple were less willing t hear what I say.’” 可知，Sia遇到的困难是由于人们不愿意听一个13岁女孩的想法，她很难找到很够帮助免费翻新鞋子的公司。A选项为他们的捐赠满足不了人们的需求，B选项为翻新过程太过复杂，D选项为很少的人愿意捐赠他们的旧鞋子，均没有提到，全部舍去。故选择C选项。
24. D 内容推断题。根据本段“But her wrk isn't dne. ‘Our gal has always been t tuch a millin feet,‘she says.”可知，在Sia认知里她的工作永远不会停止，她会一直帮助赤脚的孩子们，故选择D选项，Sia不会停止她Sle Warrirs的工作。A选项成为一个社会人物是Sia的梦想，B选项狄安娜奖是一年一颁发的，C选项Sia对于她的社会行为十分满意，选项均于原文无据，故选D。
B
When it cmes t ppular symbls f marriage, ne cannt lk past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbl f everlasting lve —a ring is a circle and thus has n beginning r end, representing the never-ending unin f marriage.
Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt arund 6,000 years ag. Hwever, unlike the metals and jewels used tday, they were crafted frm materials such as leather r bne. In the centuries that fllwed, the wedding ring traditin was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rme and Greece, subsequently thrughut Eurpe during the Middle Ages, and eventually t Eastern culture.
Thrughut histry, the rund shape f the ring has cntinued, and s has the traditin f wearing it n the furth finger f the left hand. The latter practice riginated frm an ancient belief that a vein(静脉) ran directly frm this finger t the heart. Althugh this belief has since been cnsidered wrng, the custm has cntinued.
Regarding custms surrunding wedding rings, there was a time when nly the bride wre a wedding ring. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the practice f bridegrms wearing rings gained ppularity. This change was influenced by sldiers ging ff t war, wh wre rings as reminders f their lved nes waiting fr them at hme. Tday, the exchange f wedding rings remains an essential part f the wedding ceremny, symblizing the cmmitment and lve shared between tw individuals wh will begin a life tgether.
Wedding rings hld a symblic significance that ties the tw members f a married cuple. In an ever-changing wrld, the wedding ring stands as an ancient traditin that is likely t cntinue fr generatins t cme, reflecting the timeless and everlasting lve celebrated thrugh marriage.
25. What can we knw abut wedding rings in the text?
A. They have their rts in Eurpe.
B. They date back t the Middle Ages.
C. They symblize the wners' scial status.
D. The rund shape has remained unchanged.
26. Why did peple in ancient times wear a wedding ring n the furth finger f the left hand?
A. Because it brught gd luck t sldiers ging ff t war.
B. Because they wished t keep their lver in their heart.
C. Because a vein runs directly frm this finger t the heart.
D. Because it represented the never-ending unin f marriage.
27. What can be predicted abut the future f the wedding ring traditin?
A. It will underg great changes.
B. It will gradually fall ut f date.
C. It will prbably last fr quite a lng time.
D. It will nly be ppular in certain cultures.
28. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The design f wedding rings.
B. The significance f wedding rings.
C. The lng histry f wedding rings.
D. The materials used fr wedding rings.
【语篇导读】本篇讲述了结婚戒指的起源与发展历史和未来发展趋势。
25. D 细节理解题。由第一段 “a ring is a circle and thus has n beginning r end, representing the never-ending unin f marriage.”可知结婚戒指是圆形的，并且后续全文并没有提到戒指的形状在历史演变中出现变化，故选D。A选项由第二段Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt arund 6,000 years ag.可知戒指起源于埃及，而由后文可知在几世纪后戒指文化才传入欧洲；B选项由后文“In the centuries that fllwed, the wedding ring traditin was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rme and Greece, subsequently thrughut Eurpe during the Middle Ages, and eventually t Eastern culture.”，中世纪是戒指传入欧洲的时间而非起源的时间，不能用“date back”；C选项由全文多次出现“The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbl f everlasting lve ”戒指象征持久而纯洁的爱情，并且全文没有出现戒指象征社会地位的论述，属于无中生有，故选D。
26. B 细节理解题。根据第三段“The latter practice riginated frm an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly frm this finger t the heart.”可知，左手的无名指在传统信仰里是直接连接心脏的部位，故可推断戒指戴在此处象征着将爱意连接心脏，将爱人置于心底，B符合题意，而C选项由于后文“Althugh this belief has since been cnsidered wrng, the custm has cntinued”为这种说法“辟谣”了，故C选项本身是人们的错误认知，故舍去。而A选项于原文无据，D选项将戒指形状的意义张冠李戴到佩戴位置上，舍去。故选B。
27. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In an ever-changing wrld, the wedding ring stands as an ancient traditin that is likely t cntinue fr generatins t cme, reflecting the timeless and everlasting lve celebrated thrugh marriage. ”可知结婚戒指作为一项历久弥新的传统，在未来将会一代代继续传承下去，象征着无穷无尽的爱意，其余选项均不符合题意，故选C。
28. C 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章首先介绍了戒指历史在埃及起源，然后传播到欧洲，然后介绍戒指的佩戴习惯与形式在历史中的演变与发展，最后总结戒指作为结婚者爱意的象征将会继续传承下去。所以这篇文章主要讲了戒指的漫长历史。A选项为戒指的设计，B选项戒指的重要性，D选项戒指的用材，均不符合，故选C。
C
At the Prt f Ls Angeles, a lng gray ship is ding its part t fight against climate change. On the ship, which belngs t Captura, a Ls Angeles-based cmpany, is a system f pipes, pumps, and cntainers that pumps seawater and remves CO₂, which can be used t make plastics and fuels r buried. Then the treated seawater is returned t the cean, where it absrbs mre CO₂ frm the atmsphere, in an effrt t battle the rise f the greenhuse gas.
Capturing(捕获) CO₂ frm the cean shuld be easier and cheaper than a seemingly mre direct apprach: capturing it directly frm the air. Direct air capture, which relies n fans t sweep air past chemicals that can absrb CO₂, currently csts between $600 t $1000 per tn f CO₂ remved, largely because atmspheric CO₂ nly makes up less than 0.05% f the air by vlume. Earth's ceans, in cntrast, hld the gas at a cncentratin nearly 150 times higher, and absrb rughly 30% f all emitted(排放) CO₂ each year.
Besides, cean capture is develping faster than ther cean CO₂ remval appraches. That’s partly because the systems can usually be attached t desalinatin(脱盐) plants, wastewater treatment equipment, and ther large water-prcessing systems.
Hwever, ne challenge fr the apprach is determining exactly hw much CO₂ the treated water absrbs and at what rate. Still, the absrptin rates will vary based n where the water is released and hw easily it mixes with surrunding water. That makes site selectin a really imprtant part f this prcess.
Even if the technlgy takes ff, it will have t be prmted widely t make a difference in ffsetting glbal emissins. Accrding t the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change, by 2050 engineered carbn remval effrts will need t remve sme 5 billin tns f CO₂ every year t limit the glbal temperature increase t 1.5°C. At present, the cean capture cmpanies are remving nly thusands f tns.
29. What des Paragraph 1 mainly talk abut?
A. The re use f remved CO₂.
B. The basic infrmatin abut Captura.
C. The wrking prcess f cean capture.
D. An unusual phenmenn in Ls Angeles.
30. Why des cean capture cst less than direct air capture?
A. Because the system is used mre widely.
B. Because the cean absrbs CO₂ mre directly.
C. Because capturing CO₂ frm the cean is faster.
D. Because the cncentratin f CO₂ in seawater is higher.
31. What des the underlined wrd “ffsetting” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Sending ut. B. Canceling ut. C. Figuring ut. D. Giving ut.
32. What des the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change want t cnvey?
A. The cean capture cmpanies still have a lng way t g.
B. The cean capture cmpanies have remved enugh CO₂.
C. Mre CO₂ will be emitted int the atmsphere in the future.
D. Limiting the glbal temperature increase t 1.5℃is the final gal.
【语篇导读】本篇文章主要介绍了从海洋中捕集二氧化碳的方法以及这种方法相比于其他二氧化碳捕集技术的优势和这种技术推广应用方面的不足。
29. C 根据第一段“ On the ship, , is a system f pipes, pumps, and cntainers that pumps seawater and remves CO₂ Then the treated seawater is returned t the ”可知第一段主要描述了船只从海水中除去二氧化碳，之后再将处理后的海水倾倒回海洋的过程，即捕集海水中二氧化碳的过程。故选C选项。
30. D 根据第二段“ largely because atmspheric CO₂nly makes up less than 0.05% f the air by vlume. Earth's ceans, in cntrast, hld the gas at a cncentratin nearly 150 times higher, and absrb rughly 30% f all emitted (排放) CO₂each year”可知海洋捕集技术比空气捕集技术更具经济效益的原因是海洋中二氧化碳浓度远高于空气中二氧化碳浓度。
31. B “send ut”发出“cancel ut”抵消“figure ut”解决“give ut”发出，根据划线处语境，可知原文文意为“即使海洋捕集技术发展迅速，这种技术需要被广泛推广才能有助于抵消全球碳排放。”
32. A 根据最后一段“by 2050 engineered carbn remval effrts will need t remve sme 5 billin tns f CO₂every year t limit the glbal temperature increase t 1.5°C. At present, the cean capture cmpanies are remving nly thusands f tns.”，可知根据“the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change"，二氧化碳海洋捕集公司移除的二氧化碳量远小于所需量。

As a kid, I ften suffered frm nsebleeds. My parents had sme 38 f traditinal Chinese medicine, and they said this was caused by my lve fr 39 fruits.

Its taste left me wide-eyed and 44 . The strng, sweet flavr filled my whle huse fr days. It was such a 45 smell that I’d rather believe it was picked frm a fd scientist’s imaginatin.
“What lasted is what the sul ate,” Jack Gilbert wrte in his pem The Spirit and the Sul, “The way a child knws the wrld by putting it int his 46 .” Each tasting is a chance t be 47 with my inner child. The experience is n less 48 than seeing the cean fr the first time, leaving me 49 what else this wrld has been hiding frm us.
I try mst fruits nly several times because I always lve newer things. But there is ne I keep returning t: the sursp(刺果番荔枝). When it is ripe, it tastes wnderful. Wait just ne mre day, 50 , and it starts t brwn, giving ff a terrible smell. Yes, it ges bad fast, 51 that life is t shrt. S dn't let ur sweetest days 52 .“Taste” the jys arund us as they cme alng.

【语篇导读】本篇讲了作者由加拿大到中国，吃不到曾经喜爱的水果，后来偶然间吃到龙葵，最终使他开始不断尝试新水果的故事，作者由自己的经历启发人们要把握住最美好的年华，去品味快乐，活出精彩。
38. B 作者的父母因为对中药有所了解，所以才会说流鼻血是吃了某些给了作者t much heat的水果所致，故填knwledge，选择B项。
39. A 这种水果有名字lychees，所以不是unknwn，作者接下来还接着吃，所以unsafe也排除，unfrgettable与上下文无关联，而这种水果可以给作者t much heat可知它不是一般的水果，故填unusual，选择A项。
40. C 上文提到my lve fr，可知这种水果是作者的喜爱之物，故填favrite，选择C项。
41. D 由上下文题意可知流鼻血并未阻止作者大量地吃这种水果，by the pile和by the dzen都有大量的意思，但根据实际，by the pile（成堆）太过夸张，by the dzen（按打）更符合实际，故填dzen，选择D项。
42. A 上文说这种水果becme harder t find，可知下文作者每去到一个中国镇子，都会在水果市场里寻找那种水果，故填search，选择A项。
43. B 作者自以为已经见识过世间所有pleasant fruity smell，A项check，检查，不合句意，C项cntact，联系，不合句意，D项explre，探索，水果香气不是什么很深奥的东西，探索用词太夸张，故用encunter（偶遇），选择B项。
44. C 本题描写作者吃了龙葵之后的反应，由wide-eyed及下文可知作者吃了以后吃惊于它这么好吃，选项里只有speechless（说不出话来）也表示吃惊，故填spechless，选择C项。
45. A 作者说那气味就像从食物科学家想象里而来，可知它的气味很独特，故填rare，B项familiar，熟悉，不合句意，若是熟悉的话作者不会这么吃惊，排除。C项terrible（糟糕的）与上文矛盾，排除。D项vital(重要的)不合逻辑，排除。选择A项。
46. C 上下文都在讲吃，可知本句讲的是一个孩子了解东西的方式就是把它放进嘴里，故填muth，选择C项。
47. B 上文说孩子通过把事物放进嘴里来了解它，由此推断下文意思：每一次品尝都是和自己内心中的孩子的：A项refresh，刷新，恢复精力，B项reunit，重聚，C项recharge，重新充电，D项rearrange，重新安排。综合来看B项最合题意，故选择B项。
48. D 作者说吃龙葵的经历就和第一次看海一样，是令人印象深刻的，故填memrable，选择D项。A项rewarding（有回报的），B项practical（实际的）均不合逻辑，C项meaningful由于作者没有点明意义，对意义没有重点说明，故排除，选择D项。
49. C 作者吃了龙葵后觉得自己还有很多东西没有见过，他想知道还有多少是这个世界藏起来的，故用wnder，选择C项。
50. A 前文说仅仅多等一天，后文说它就开始腐败，可知为转折关系，使用thugh，选择A项。

Amy helped her mther in their vegetable garden every day, s the vegetables wuld be healthy and ready fr the market. Amy ften pretended the plants she tk care f were beautiful chrysants(菊花) , like Mrs. Taylr’s prize flwers.
“Flish girl!” her mther sclded. “N ne in ur pr village wastes mney s flishly n flwers. Take care f the vegetables. That’s ur living.”
Amy knew her mther was right. The nly persn in the village wh made mney by selling flwers was Mrs. Taylr. Every year she wn first prize at the Chrysant Festival. Other cmpetitrs whispered that Taylr used magic t grw her chrysants.
Amy envied Mrs. Taylr. But chrysants were expensive t start, and Amy culd nly dream abut grwing them.
One day, Amy visited Mrs. Taylr. Mrs. Taylr was inspecting her chrysants. “Spying n me again!” Taylr frwned. “But, Mrs. Taylr, I nly cme t see yur flwers.” Amy tk a deep breath. “I wish I culd grw beautiful chrysants and win a prize at the festival like yu.”
“Yu?” Mrs. Taylr laughed. “Child, d yu knw what’s required t grw such flwers? The secret f grwing chrysants has been passed dwn frm my grandfather. Stick t vegetables. Leave flwers t thse wh knw the secret.” Taylr pulled up a weak plant and threw it away.
Suddenly Amy had an idea. She asked fr Taylr’s permissin t have that plant, dashed back hme, and grew it behind the cttage. She leaned clse t the hanging leaves and whispered, “Grw, little flwer. Yu dn’t have t win a prize. Just grw.” She tk care f her plant every mrning and evening. “Yu are my beautiful plant,” Amy wuld sing sftly, as she weeded and watered it. “Smeday, yu will blm(开花) prettier than any flwer at the festival.” Each time Amy visited her little plant, it lked greener and taller. Time seemed t fly by as the festival neared.
