”可知，童年的孤独让作者感到恐惧，从而促使作者去读《隐藏的楼梯》，现在患癌了，开始读伽马奇探长推理小说以抑制恐惧，由此可知，类似的恐惧使作者想起了自己的童年。故选A。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Althoughthereisnothingfairaboutacancerdiagnosis,mybeliefthatproblemscanbesolvedhasonlygottenstronger.Butmostofall,Istillbelieveinthepowerofthewrittenwordtohelpusthroughdarknightswhensleepisslowtoe.Thereisnomysteryinthat.(虽然患上癌症不是好事情，但我坚信问题是可以解决的。但最重要的是，我仍然相信文字的力量，它能帮助我们度过难以入眠的黑夜。这一点并不神秘。)”可知，作者对自己能够战胜癌症充满希望。故选D。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段的“AfterIreceivedacancerdiagnosisinDecemberof2022,Peter,oneofmyclosestfriends,toldmetoreadPenny’sbooks.Itookhisadvice.Thecharactersinthenovelstookholdofmymindandtransportedmeawayfromthefearduringthetreatments.(在2022年12月我被诊断出患有癌症后，我最亲密的朋友之一彼得告诉我要读佩妮的书。我接受了他的建议。小说中的人物控制了我的思想，把我从治疗过程产生的恐惧带了出来。)”和最后一段的“Althoughthereisnothingfairaboutacancerdiagnosis,mybeliefthatproblemscanbesolvedhasonlygottenstronger.Butmostofall,Istillbelieveinthepowerofthewrittenwordstohelpusthroughdarknightswhensleepisslowtoe.Thereisnomysteryinthat.(虽然患上癌症不是好事情，但我坚信问题是可以解决的。但最重要的是，我仍然相信文字的力量，它能帮助我们度过难以入眠的黑夜。这一点并不神秘。)”可知，读书给作者带来勇气，给作者带来战胜癌症的信心，因此B项(文字拥有神奇力量)可以作为标题。故选B。CLEGOistobeginsellingbraille(盲文)brickstohelpblindandpartiallysightedchildrenlearntoreadthetouchbasedalphabet(全部字母).Afterthefirstannouncementofitsbraillebricksin2019,LEGOhasannouncedthatshopperswouldbeabletobuytheaccessiblekitforthefirsttime.Upuntilnow,theLEGOFoundationhasgivenoutthekitsfreeofcharge,aspartofapilotprogram,toorganizationsspecializingintheeducationofchildrenwithvisionimpairment(障碍).Whilesomeviewbrailleasoldfashioned,givenmoderntechnologythatcanturnwrittentextintospokenword,blindadultssaytheyliketoreadwiththeirfingerswhilelisteningtootherthings.TheEuropeanBlindUnionsaysknowledgeofbrailleleadstoimprovedspelling,readingandwriting,contributingtohigherlevelsofeducationandbetteremploymentopportunitiesforthosewhoarevisionimpaired.DaveWilliams,whoworksfortheRoyalNationalInstituteofBlindPeople,whichactsforblindandpartiallysightedpeople,said,“Whowouldwantagreetingcardreadtoyou?Andtherearethingslikeboardgames.”AndheaddedlearningbraillewithLEGOhelpedgivethosewhocouldnotreadprintindependence.LisaTaylor,mumtosevenyearoldOlivia,said,“OliviafirstdiscoveredLEGObraillebricksatschoolandtheyhadsuchabigimpactonhercuriosityaboutbraille.Beforethen,shefoundithardtogetstartedwiththesymbolsbutnowshe’simprovingallthetime.”8.Whatcanbeinferredfromparagraph2?A.LEGOisthefirstfirmtoputbrailleintouse.B.LEGObeganitssellofbraillebricksin2019.C.LEGOintegratesoldtraditionwithmoderntechnology.D.LEGOhasdonatedbraillebrickstocertainorganizations.9.Whatdotheblindpreferaccordingtothetext?A.Readingwiththeirfingers.

”可知，多种因素将导致世界发生变化，因此在实验室培育水果是有必要的，以应对未来的变化。故选C。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Theprogramaimstogrowfruittissuewithoutthepartsthatareusually

discarded

likethepeelofthebanana.Providingconsumerswithonlythetissueoffruitwillhelpreducefoodwaste,saidSchon.(该项目旨在培育没有香蕉皮等通常被……的部分的水果组织。舍恩说，只向消费者提供水果组织有助于减少食物浪费。)”可知，人们是不食用香蕉皮的，会将其扔掉，因此，让香蕉没有皮，人们就会减少浪费，则划线词意为“扔掉”。故选B。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“ThePlant&FoodResearchprogramstarted18monthsago,butscientistswarnthattheendgoalofgettingsomethingthatisnutritionalandenjoyabletoeatissomeyearsawayandmightnotbeachievableatall.(植物与食品研究项目开始于18个月前，但科学家们警告说，最终目标是获得营养和美味的食物，这是几年以后的事情，可能根本无法实现。)”可知，科学家们不确定获得营养和美味的食物的目标能否实现。故选C。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。EmmaTipping,agardendesigner,sharesherexperttipsonhowtousesmallspacesonyourbalcony(阳台)tocreaterelaxinggardenareasfilledwithplantsandseatingareas.Makeuseofexistingfeatures.Railings(栏杆)andexternalwallsaregreatfeaturestousewhenlookingtosavespace.Planthangerscanbepositionedontopofrailingsandfences.____16____Organisingyourplantslikethiscanavoidusingupanyfloorspaceandallowsyoutoaddmoreflowers.Bringtheinterior(内部)outdoors.Thekeytomakingyouroutdoorspacefortableandhomelyistobringatouchoftheindoorsoutside.Inthegarden,youcanuserugs(地毯),aswellasfeaturingoutdoorcushions,whichmakefortableseatingareatositunderthetrailingleavesofyourplants.____17____Recycleandrepurpose.____18____Oldcansmakelovelypotsforsmallerplants,andcolanders(沥水盆)areidealforhangingbaskets,withthedesignprovidinggreatdrainagewhenwatering.Forthecans,ifyouwanttomakethemlookprettier,givethemalickofpaint,andthensimplydrillafewholesinthebottom.They’retheperfectsizeforgrowingarangeofproduceyoucanuseforcooking,suchasherbs,tomatoesandstrawberries.____19____Whendecidingwhatplantstoincludeinyourbalcony,choosetheonesthatarefunctional.Whenyouhaveasmallspace,youwanttomakethemostofitandpickplantsthatbringthemostbenefits.Tomakethemostofyourbalcony,youcanlookforplantsthataddsmellandcolour.Youcangrowplantswhichareabletobecutforflowerarranging.____20____Nowtakeheradviceandhaveatry!A.Selectplantsofallkinds.B.Chooseplantswithapurpose.C.Plantsthatcanbeeatenarealsoagoodchoice.D.Longplanterscanbeattachedtoexternalwalls.E.Inthisway,youcangetacalmingindoorenvironmentforfort.F.Itcreatesaquietspot,givingyouthetrueoutdoorfeelofbeinginnature.G.You’llbesurprisedatwhatitemscanbeusedtocreateyourbalconygarden.【答案】16.D17.F18.G19.B20.C【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了如何利用阳台上的小空间来打造一个充满植物和座位区域的让人放松的花园。【16题详解】根据上文的“Railingsandexternalwallsaregreatfeaturestousewhenlookingtosavespace.Planthangerscanbepositionedontopofrailingsandfences.(栏杆和外墙是寻求节省空间时用得到的很好的特色。植物挂钩可以放置在栏杆和栅栏的顶部。)”和下文的“Organisingyourplantslikethiscanavoidusingupanyfloorspaceandallowsyoutoaddmoreflowers.(像这样安排你的植物可以避免占用任何地面空间，并允许你添加更多的花。)”可知，D项(长花盆可以贴在外墙上。)承接上文，说明了现有特色栏杆和外墙可以被充分利用，下文指出这样做的好处。故选D项。【17题详解】根据上文的“Thekeytomakingyouroutdoorspacefortableandhomelyistobringatouchoftheindoorsoutside.Inthegarden,youcanuserugs,aswellasfeaturingoutdoorcushions,whichmakefortableseatingareatositunderthetrailingleavesofyourplants.(让你的户外空间舒适和温馨的关键是把室内的感觉带到外面。在花园里，你可以使用地毯，以及特色的户外垫子，坐在你的植物的垂叶下，这样形成一个舒适的座位区。)”可知，F项(它创造了一个安静的地方，给你置身于大自然中真正的户外感觉。)承接上文，说明了上文的做法可以让你更好地享受户外的美好时光。故选F项。【18题详解】根据下文的“Oldcansmakelovelypotsforsmallerplants,andcolandersareidealforhangingbaskets,withthedesignprovidinggreatdrainagewhenwatering.Forthecans,ifyouwanttomakethemlookprettier,givethemalickofpaint,andthensimplydrillafewholesinthebottom.They’retheperfectsizeforgrowingarangeofproduceyoucanuseforcooking,suchasherbs,tomatoesandstrawberries.(旧的罐子可以用来种植小的植物，沥水盆是悬挂篮子的理想选择，它的设计可以在浇水时提供很好的排水。对于罐子，如果你想让它们看起来更漂亮，给它们涂上油漆，然后简单地在底部钻几个洞。它们的大小非常适合种植各种烹饪用的农产品，比如香草、西红柿和草莓。)”可知，G项(你会惊讶地发现有些东西可以用来建造你的阳台花园。)说明了可以利用旧物来打造阳台花园，可以作为该段落的话题句，下文就此进行举例说明。故选G项。【19题详解】根据下文的“Whendecidingwhatplantstoincludeinyourbalcony,choosetheonesthatarefunctional.Whenyouhaveasmallspace,youwanttomakethemostofitandpickplantsthatbringthemostbenefits.Tomakethemostofyourbalcony,youcanlookforplantsthataddsmellandcolour.Youcangrowplantswhichareabletobecutforflowerarranging.(当决定在阳台上种植什么植物时，选择那些有功能的。当你有一个小空间时，你想要充分利用它，挑选能带来最大好处的植物。为了充分利用你的阳台，你可以寻找增加气味和色彩的植物。你可以种植一些可以剪下来插花的植物。)”可知，B项(带着目的性选择植物。)可知，该段说明了选择植物来打造阳台花园时要有目的性，下文具体解释了如何去选择植物。故选B项。【20题详解】根据上文的“Whendecidingwhatplantstoincludeinyourbalcony,choosetheonesthatarefunctional.Whenyouhaveasmallspace,youwanttomakethemostofitandpickplantsthatbringthemostbenefits.Tomakethemostofyourbalcony,youcanlookforplantsthataddsmellandcolour.Youcangrowplantswhichareabletobecutforflowerarranging.(当决定在阳台上种植什么植物时，选择那些有功能的。当你有一个小空间时，你想要充分利用它，挑选能带来最大好处的植物。为了充分利用你的阳台，你可以寻找增加气味和色彩的植物。你可以种植一些可以剪下来插花的植物。)”可知，C项(可食用的植物也是不错的选择。)承接上文，进一步举例说明可以选择的植物类型。故选C项。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。PuttingdownthebookIwasreading,Iturnedtomymum.“Nextyear,whenIgotohighschool…,”Istarted,thinkingofallthenovelsI’dsoonfinish.ButbeforeIcouldfinishmysentence,Mum____21____mywords.“Therewillbenohighschool,”shesaid.“Wedon’thave____22____foruniformsorschoolshoesorbooks.”Myfamilywereverypoorandthekidsall____23____school,includingme.Yearslater,ImetGeorgeandgotmarried.Lifewenton,____24____thedesiretostudyneverleftme.“Whenweretire,Iwantt
