Kakigōri, Japan
Kakigōri, the Japanese version of ice cream, is most definitely not a nice-cream cone (蛋卷冰激凌). Some chefs make Kakigōri by shaving(刨) ice from ice blocks. And traditional street sellers still use their hands to shave ice in the summer. They then add syrup(糖浆) to the ice in flavors like green tea, strawberries, grapes and melons. You can get it in the places such as restaurants, coffee shops and soon.
Raspado, Mexico
While snow cones are made using much sweet syrup, rasp a dos have real fruits or fresh fruit juice. The treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts, which sell a range of fruit-based shaved ice. Sellers make a mixture of a raspado and a milkshake called “eskimo” using milk, condensed milk, fresh seasonal fruit, sugar, vanilla and ice.
Dondurma, Türk iye
Is there an ice cream that doesn’t melt(融化) Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma is. Locals also call it Maras dondurma, which is believed to come from the city and region of Maras. Dondurma is made with goat milk, sugar, mastic and salep. The Turkish usually buy their dondurma from streets.
Frozen Custard, US
Frozen custard is the typical American ice cream which is a mixture of milk, cream, sugar and eggs. It is dense because it’s made in a machine that doesn’t let air into it. Americans usually have a choice between vanilla or chocolate. They can also go for a mixture of the two.

Before I came to the United States years ago, I had thought that culture separated people, but I have realized now that cultures are closer than we know. In the United States, there are certainly more differences than similarities when comparing it to my country.
An amazing aspect of culture is the food produced. I’ve always been a foodie (美食家). When I was hungry, there were many foreign signs of restaurants, but deciding which one was a difficult task. I remember reading the sign for “Chipotle” and I had no idea what was served there.
Who would ever have imagined that an experience as simple as trying new food would produce thoughts of cultures I find it truly beautiful that each culture brings different spices and tastes to the table. I have tried wonderful foods from all sorts of cultures. Each is very unique and atmospheres are also quite interesting and culturally affected. Although the food may taste different, preparation can be somewhat consistent (一致的). Many of the foods I have tasted have had similar mechanisms of cooking (烹饪机制).
Here in the United States, it can be somewhat difficult to express all of my culture, mainly because there are many different cultures here. But I have found common ground on these matters and have learned to adapt (适应)to different cultures.
I have learned how to live in two cultures. I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m not saying that it’s extremely hard, but it’s all about balance. Each person has their own culture. Life has too many things to care. The theory of “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is very applicable in most situations. Throughout my experiences here, I have certainly learned a lot about others. Culture is something different to many people but in the end, it connects all of us. Cultures bring others together to create new and exciting situations.
4. What does the author learn about culture after coming to the United States
A. Culture separates people. B. Culture is from local food.
C. Culture is closer than he knows. D. Food is the culture that unites people.

C. All foods from different cultures taste the same. D. Each culture brings different tastes to the table.

A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
8. What is the purpose of praise groups
A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported.
C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness.
9. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3
A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress.
C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area.
10. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph
A. A way of making new friends. B. A kind of medicine.
C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems.
11. What is the author s attitude to praise groups
A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种叫作“夸夸群”的交流形式在中国社交媒体上流行起来。这些聊天群提供了一个平台，让人们能够得到赞美和鼓励。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.(这些聊天群为人们提供了一个接受赞美和鼓励的平台，而这些在日常生活中往往是缺乏的)”和第四段“Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.(夸夸群的出现，是中国人寻求和接受日常生活中可能缺乏的赞美和鼓励的一种方式。它为参与者提供了积极向上的体验，提高了幸福感和自我价值感。)”可知，夸夸群旨在给人们带来希望和快乐。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.(看到这些赞美，孟忍不住笑了，并表示希望以后也能发布这样高质量的赞美)”可推知，Meng对夸夸群的服务是满意的。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Those who support the groups, see them as an(那些支持这些组织的人，把他们看作是一个)”以及后文“to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet(到极端糟糕的情绪，这通常与互联网上发生的事情有关)”可知，那些支持praise groups的人认为它们是一种药物，可以消除与互联网上发生的事情相关联的极度不好的情绪。故画线词意思是“一种药”。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.(但是人生的旅程是漫长的，当没有人提供帮助的时候，我们只能依靠自己来面对一些意想不到的情况。)”可知，作者对夸夸群的态度既没有反对，也没有支持，只是客观地做了评价。A.

Most environmental pollution on Earth comes from humans and their inventions, such as cars or plastic. Today, car emissions(排放物) area major source of air pollution leading to climate change, and plastics fill our ocean, creating a significant health issue to marine(海洋) animals.
And what about the electric light, thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time Electric light can be a beautiful thing, guiding us home when the sun goes down，keeping us safe and making our homes bright. However, like carbon dioxide emissions and plastic, too much of a good thing has started to impact the environment. Light pollution, the inappropriate use of outdoor light, is affecting human health, wildlife behavior and our ability to observe stars.
Light pollution is a global issue. This became obvious when the World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Available online for viewing, the map shows how and where our globe is lit up at night. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia are glowing(发光) with light, while only the most remote regions on Earth(Greenland, Central African Republic and Niue) are in total darkness. Some of the most light-polluted countries in the world are Singapore, Qatar, and Kuwait.
Sky glow is the brightening of the night sky, mostly over cities, due to the electric lights of cars, street lamps, offices, factories, outdoor advertising, and buildings, turning night into day for people who work and play long after sunset.
People living in cities with high levels of sky glow have a hard time seeing more than a handful of stars at night. Astronomers are particularly concerned with sky glow pollution as it reduces their ability to view stars.
More than 80 percent of the world’s population, and 99 percent of Americans and Europeans, live under sky glow.
12. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The use of outdoor light must be forbidden.
B. Electric light has both advantages and disadvantages.
C. Electric light is the main factor to keep us safe.
D. Electric light is the greatest human invention.
13. Which of the following places is least affected by sky glow
A. Qatar. B. Singapore. C. Kuwait. D. Niue.
14. Why do astronomers especially complain about sky glow
A. Sky glow costs too much.
B. Sky glow has a bad effect on their sleep.
C. Sky glow affects their viewing stars.
D. Sky glow wastes too much electricity.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Light pollution B. Plastic pollution
C. Different kinds of pollution D. Air pollution
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了电灯的好处和缺点，介绍了光污染严重的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Electric light can be a beautiful thing, guiding us home when the sun goes down, keeping us safe and making our homes bright. However, like carbon dioxide emissions and plastic, too much of a good thing has started to impact the environment. Light pollution, the inappropriate use of outdoor light, is affecting human health, wildlife behavior and our ability to observe stars. (电灯是一件美丽的东西，在太阳下山时指引我们回家，保证我们的安全，让我们的家明亮。然而，就像二氧化碳排放和塑料一样，太多的好东西已经开始影响环境。光污染，即户外光的不当使用，正在影响人类健康、野生动物行为和我们观察星星的能力)”可知，电灯给人类带来光明与方便，但太多灯光也有许多弊端。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia are glowing(发光) with light, while only the most remote regions on Earth(Greenland, Central African Republic and Niue) are in total darkness. (北美、欧洲、中东和亚洲的大片地区灯火通明，而地球上只有最偏远的地区（格陵兰岛、中非共和国和纽埃）一片漆黑。)”可知，纽埃受城市光污染最小。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Astronomers are particularly concerned with sky glow pollution as it reduces their ability to view stars. (天文学家特别关注天空辉光污染，因为它降低了他们观察恒星的能力)”可知，光污染给天文学家观察星空造成不便。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was so heartbreaking for Devan Bonagura to see 81-year-old Nola Carpenter sitting in the break room of a supermarket where she works. In the short video he shared, the woman appears tired and stares at the floor as if thinking of something. The video finally went popular, earning over 30 million views and causing a movement that would change Carpenter’s life.
It is widely known that retail (零售) workers are heroes. They put up with long hours and angry customers, among a lot of other things. This work is challenging for young people and able-bodied people, so it can really be more difficult to the old. That’s why Bonagura posted the video.
He posted the short video of her with the message “Life shouldn’t be this hard. . . ”and the caption(字幕)“I feel bad”. At last, his followers asked him to find a way to support this woman, and it inspired him to open a GoFundMe campaign titled“Let’s help Carpenter retire (退休)”. The idea was to support Carpenter so that she could retire early.
Although the goal was just $10, 000, 24 hours later over $100, 000 had been collected. Two days later, Bonagura met up with Carpenter and told her how he had posted a video of her and how people had come together to help her. “They see that you’re a very hard worker,” the social media platform told the woman. “We are all super proud of you, and we want to offer you the $110, 000 that has been raised for you.” “T’d accept it, but I’d still have to work until I get the other $60, 000 to pay off the house,” she explained. “The house is what’s holding me at work. ”She then talked about her daily life and how she struggled to help those in need.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Reaching her goal, Carpenter won’t retire until the New Year.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Knowing why Carpenter worked so hard at this age, every one was moved. In fact, she is a kind lady who often helps others whenever she sees them in trouble, but after all, she herself is not rich enough. The reason why she wanted to buy a new house is that her own house was burned down in a big fire. So she decided to buy a new house and it would be convenient for her to offer shelter when she meets with homeless persons. Every day, she would eat some cheap vegetables to save some money. She had never bought a pieces of clothes for a long time. In a word, she was trying to pay for the new house.
Reaching her goal, Carpenter won’t retire until the New Year. ”I’m going to help them out for the holidays, and after that, it’ll be good to stay at home, “ said Carpenter when interviewed. She has worked at the supermarket for over 20 years. ”I’m going to miss my customers. They look for me every day, " she said. At the same time, she would use the money she earned to continue to offer help to those in need. That’s the kind chain.

And traditional street sellers still use their hands to shave ice in the summer. They then add syrup(糖浆) to the ice in flavors like green tea, strawberries, grapes and melons. You can get it in the places such as restaurants, coffee shops and soon.
Raspado, Mexico
While snow cones are made using much sweet syrup, rasp a dos have real fruits or fresh fruit juice. The treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts, which sell a range of fruit-based shaved ice. Sellers make a mixture of a raspado and a milkshake called “eskimo” using milk, condensed milk, fresh seasonal fruit, sugar, vanilla and ice.

Before I came to the United States years ago, I had thought that culture separated people, but I have realized now that cultures are closer than we know. In the United States, there are certainly more differences than similarities when comparing it to my country.
An amazing aspect of culture is the food produced. I’ve always been a foodie (美食家). When I was hungry, there were many foreign signs of restaurants, but deciding which one was a difficult task. I remember reading the sign for “Chipotle” and I had no idea what was served there.
Who would ever have imagined that an experience as simple as trying new food would produce thoughts of cultures I find it truly beautiful that each culture brings different spices and tastes to the table. I have tried wonderful foods from all sorts of cultures. Each is very unique and atmospheres are also quite interesting and culturally affected. Although the food may taste different, preparation can be somewhat consistent (一致的). Many of the foods I have tasted have had similar mechanisms of cooking (烹饪机制).
Here in the United States it can be somewhat difficult to express all of my culture, mainly because there are many different cultures here. But I have found common ground on these matters and have learned to adapt (适应)to different cultures.
I have learned how to live in two cultures. I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m not saying that it’s extremely hard, but it’s all about balance. Each person has their own culture. Life has too many things to care. The theory of “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is very applicable in most situations. Throughout my experiences here, I have certainly learned a lot about others. Culture is something different to many people but in the end, it connects all of us. Cultures bring others together to create new and exciting situations.
4. What does the author learn about culture after coming to the United States
A. Culture separates people. B. Culture is from local food.

C. The different tastes of food. D. The methods of food production.
6. What does the author find beautiful about different cultures
A. Each culture has unique atmosphere. B. Preparation methods of food are similar across cultures.
C. All foods from different cultures taste the same. D. Each culture brings different tastes to the table.
7. How does the author feel about living in two cultures
A. Difficult. B. Beneficial. C. Awkward. D. Unpleasant

A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
8. What is the purpose of praise groups
A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported.
C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness.
9. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3
A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress.
C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area.
10. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph
A. A way of making new friends. B. A kind of medicine.
C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems.
11. What is the author s attitude to praise groups
A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
D
Most environmental pollution on Earth comes from humans and their inventions, such as cars or plastic. Today, car emissions(排放物) area major source of air pollution leading to climate change, and plastics fill our ocean, creating a significant health issue to marine(海洋的) animals.
And what about the electric light, thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time Electric light can be a beautiful thing, guiding us home when the sun goes down，keeping us safe and making our homes bright. However, like carbon dioxide emissions and plastic, too much of a good thing has started to impact the environment. Light pollution, the inappropriate use of outdoor light, is affecting human health, wildlife behavior and our ability to observe stars.
Light pollution is a global issue. This became obvious when the World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Available online for viewing, the map shows how and where our globe is lit up at night. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia are glowing(发光) with light, while only the most remote regions on Earth(Greenland, Central African Republic and Niue) are in total darkness. Some of the most light-polluted countries in the world are Singapore, Qatar, and Kuwait.
Sky glow is the brightening of the night sky, mostly over cities, due to the electric lights of cars, street lamps, offices, factories, outdoor advertising, and buildings, turning night into day for people who work and play long after sunset.
People living in cities with high levels of sky glow have a hard time seeing more than a handful of stars at night. Astronomers are particularly concerned with sky glow pollution as it reduces their ability to view stars.
More than 80 percent of the world’s population, and 99 percent of Americans and Europeans, live under sky glow.
12. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The use of outdoor light must be forbidden.
B. Electric light has both advantages and disadvantages.
C. Electric light is the main factor to keep us safe.
D. Electric light is the greatest human invention.
13. Which of the following places is least affected by sky glow
A. Qatar. B. Singapore. C. Kuwait. D. Niue.
14. Why do astronomers especially complain about sky glow
A. Sky glow costs too much.
B. Sky glow has a bad effect on their sleep.
C. Sky glow affects their viewing stars.
D. Sky glow wastes too much electricity.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Light pollution B. Plastic pollution
C. Different kinds of pollution D. Air pollution

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was so heartbreaking for Devan Bonagura to see 81-year-old Nola Carpenter sitting in the break room of a supermarket where she works. In the short video he shared, the woman appears tired and stares at the floor as if thinking of something. The video finally went popular, earning over 30 million views and causing a movement that would change Carpenter’s life.
It is widely known that retail (零售) workers are heroes. They put up with long hours and angry customers, among a lot of other things. This work is challenging for young people and able-bodied people, so it can really be more difficult to the old. That’s why Bonagura posted the video.
He posted the short video of her with the message “Life shouldn’t be this hard. . . ”and the caption(字幕)“I feel bad”. At last, his followers asked him to find a way to support this woman, and it inspired him to open a GoFundMe campaign titled“Let’s help Carpenter retire (退休)”. The idea was to support Carpenter so that she could retire early.
Although the goal was just $10, 000, 24 hours later over $100, 000 had been collected. Two days later, Bonagura met up with Carpenter and told her how he had posted a video of her and how people had come together to help her. “They see that you’re a very hard worker,” the social media platform told the woman. “We are all super proud of you, and we want to offer you the $110, 000 that has been raised for you.” “T’d accept it, but I’d still have to work until I get the other $60, 000 to pay off the house,” she explained. “The house is what’s holding me at work. ”She then talked about her daily life and how she struggled to help those in need.
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。
Knowing why Carpenter worked so hard at this age, every one was moved
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reaching her goal, Carpenter won’t retire until the New Year.
