In fact, he is very friendly to me especially when I take care of other furry friends in our shelter.There have been a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. Luke rushed towards the forest where flames send out a terrible heat. Theres no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Luke to come back to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce me his death in the forest. Suddenly, a fireman burst into my office and informed me that my dog Luke succeeded in saving four cats which were trapped by the flames. Luke seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe place.I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to pick up the rescued kittens, but Luke was not there. Then we heard the sound of a dog came from the forest barking furiously. The firemen followed the tracks of the dog until they found him barking loudly by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground.That day, I was very proud of Luke for his two heroic actions. I paid a visit to the fireman accompanied with my adorable Luke. What a memorable scene when the fireman hugged Luke tightly to his chest! “One thousand thanks, Luke, for saving my life,” the fireman said.This true story of love shows us that pets are kind, loving, and caring. We should love and protect them. Dont belittle them. Little animals can make enormous things for humans.24. What did the author think had happened to Luke?A.

D【解析】【分析】本文为记叙文。主要介绍了一只狗的英勇事迹。小狗Luke在一场森林大火中，奋不顾身地拯救四只小猫和一个消防员的故事。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Theres no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Luke to come back to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce me his death in the forest.”可知作者原来认为自己的狗有可能在森林中被烧死。故选C。【25题详解】细节理解题。文章主要叙述了小狗Luke在一场森林大火中，奋不顾身地拯救四只小猫和一个消防员的故事。所以对小狗Luke的英勇行为而感到自豪，故选A。【26题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段划线词的上一句“This true story of love shows us that pets are kind, loving, and caring.”及下句“ We should love and protect them. Little animals can make enormous things for humans.”作者呼吁我们要关爱和保护动物，小动物也能为人类做出巨大的贡献。可知我们不要小瞧了它们。由此可推断出“Dont belittle them”中的划线词为“瞧不起（Look down upon.）”，故选B。【27题详解】主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了小狗Luke在一场森林大火中，奋不顾身地拯救四只小猫和一个消防员的故事。由此可推断出作者讲述Luke的英勇事迹是为了与读者分享Luke的爱与关心的故事。故选D。【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第3小题词意猜测题。根据最后一段划线词的上一句“This true story of love shows us that pets are kind, loving, and caring.”及下句“ We should love and protect them. Little animals can make enormous things for humans.”作者呼吁我们要关爱和保护动物，小动物也能为人类做出巨大的贡献。可知我们不要小瞧了它们。由此可推断出“Dont belittle them”中的划线词为“瞧不起（Look down upon.）”，故选B。CAlmost none of us have the time to read everything wed like to read. Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and thinking?Established in 2020, iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and text.

The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with related examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them.Holger Seim, German co-founder of this app, declares, “iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time.

It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.”的回答。即iReader是“把伟大的想法转化成小包装”。因此最佳的题目为：iReader是小包装的大创意。因此D项符合题意，故选D。DThe largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been considered as evidence of the “invisible value of urban design” in improving long-term health outcomes say researchers. The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant connections between the increased walkability of a neighborhood and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents (居民).The results remained the same even after lifestyles and physical environment were changed, though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those living in heavily populated areas and poor neighborhoods.The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health. With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的) and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings showed the need to take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design.“We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.”Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving, and were harmful to social communication, and as such related to poorer mental and physical health.Because walkability was “based on the potential (潜在的) design of the city”, said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, cities could be adapted or designed to encourage it. “Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are lasting and common.”32. What is probably the result if we consider “invisible value of urban design”?A. The ageing population will be reduced.B. Our cities will be more walkable and activity-friendly.C. More money will be invested in preventing and curing heart diseases.D. The pace of urbanization will be slowed down.33. What can be inferred from the study?A. Young people are more likely to benefit from increased walkability.B. Walkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure.C. Chronic diseases are becoming common for peoples inattention to their health.D. Walkable cities can help reduce blood pressure and the risk of heart diseases.34. What isnt the effects of poorly-designed neighborhoods?A. Worse economy.B. Unhealthy lifestyle.C. Fewer social communication.D. Poorer health.35. What does Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar mean?A. Cities should encourage the residents to engage in social communication.B. The design of our neighborhoods should meet peoples needs for shopping.C. Money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expenses.D. Chronic diseases will be common because of pollution and the environment change.【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C【解析】本文为说明文。主要介绍了研究发现步行能力的增加能降低人们得慢性病的风险。专家呼吁城市建设要充分考虑城市设计的无形价值，通过让城市更加环保和适宜行走来提高人们的健康指数。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable。”可知，如果我们能够通过对社区设计的微小改变来投资于创建健康的城市，使其更易于活动和步行。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“The largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant connections between the increased walkabilit
