When Ariel Cordova-Rojas rode her bike to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York,

last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. Bingo! A mile into her walk, she spotted a

gorgeous female swan near the water’s edge. Cordova-Rojas, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird

Fund care center in Manhattan, knew that swans can be aggressive. But as she approached this one, it

didn’t move.

She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas wrapped her jacket around

the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and cradled it in her arms. And then a thought

struck her: What do I do now?

Her best bet was the care center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of

town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, some

strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.

On the subway, no one seemed particularly disturbed by the feathered passenger. One guy, says

Cordova-Rojas, was “sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he noticed there was a

swan in front of him.” And then the animal-care manager picked her up at the subway station. There,

staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning, caused by eating weights used on

fishing lines.

The staff got the swan back up on her feet. She even made a boyfriend at the center—another

injured swan. Sadly, the swan got a bacterial infection later. Two months after Cordova-Rojas came to

her rescue, she passed away.

It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save

a swan in the big city—literally.

24. Why did Cordova-Rojas determine the swan needed medical care?

A. Because the swan was too aggressive.

B. Because the swan’s feet were injured badly.

C. Because the swan stayed still when she got closer.

D. Because she had worked at the Wild Bird Fund care center.

25. What was the passenger’s reaction to the swan on the subway?

26. What directly led to the swan’s death?

A. Why a swan rescued still died. B. What humans could do with nature.

C. How water pollution affected wild birds. D. How far a bird lover went to save a swan.

Research into whether the human voice helps plants isn’t conclusive. Even so, there are

convincing reasons that chatting with your houseplants is good for them—and you.

In a 2022 survey by trees.com, 50 percent of the 1250 respondents reported talking to their plants.

When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grow. The research, however, isn’t

definitive about this point. While studies have found that vibrations (震动) caused by sound do affect

plants, the jury is still out on whether the human voice offers any specific benefit.

For many plant owners, though, the science is beside the point. Marquis Matson, co-founder of the

blog the Indoor Nursery, says she talks to her plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants

get a sense of community from my talking to them and that keeps them going”. On the plant side, a

study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of the classical music and the

sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Both forms of

sound exposure increased the vegetables’ growth. In a 2015 study, researchers exposed marigold (金盏

花) and chickpea (鹰嘴豆) plants to light Indian music as well as to traffic noise. They found that both

types of plants grew and developed better after being exposed to the music for four hours per day, but

not to the traffic sounds. “Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment—which can

cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over,” says Heidi Appel, leader of

the study. She points out, “While sound absolutely matters to plants, we don’t know if talking to them

makes them grow differently.”

Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least

one theoretical bonus, “If we identify with a living organism that we’re taking care of, we’re going to

take better care of it and help them thrive,” Appel says.

28. What do the underlined words “the jury is still out” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. There is uncertainty. B. The jury has decided.

C. The jury is playing outside. D. People have different ideas.

29. What do Marquis Matson’s words suggest?

A. Vibrations caused by sound affect plants.

B. Chatting with the plants benefits both sides.

C. Scientific research in this area makes no sense.

D. A sense of community is a must for plants’ growth.

30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

A. Traffic sounds probably have a negative influence on plant growth.

B. Talking to plants can make them more sensitive to the environment.

C. Plants do not fall over because of the vibrations in their environment.

D. Classical music is beneficial to plant growth as sounds of nature do.

31. What is Appel’s attitude towards the study?

A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Unfavorable. D. Unclear.

Even the greatest writers had to sometimes trick themselves into writing. John Steinbeck, for one,

couldn’t put words to paper unless he had 12 perfectly sharpened pencils lined up on his desk. German

philosopher Friedrich Schiller “could not live or work” without a drawer full of rotting apples

nearby—a fact his poor friend Goethe discovered by following a strange, unpleasant smell to its source

in Schiller’s study. Even Virginia Woolf relied on a custom-made (定制的) standing desk—not for any

health benefits, but because her sister, a painter, worked standing all day, and Virginia hated to appear

any less hard-working.

The magic here is not in the pencils, or the standing, or even the rotting apples: It’s in the ritual (仪

式). Rituals are powerful drivers of behavior, and there’s increasingly more research to back it up.

Studies have shown that a ritual toast before a drink can make the drink taste better, ritual journaling

can reduce stress while promoting a more positive view, and any ritual behavior that establishes the

start of a process can help us push through delay and get rid of anxiety. Some rituals can even improve

our performance in tasks tied to personal identity. In this case, it may be as simple as writing with a

lucky pen.

Across several studies, researchers had students complete a variety of physical and mental

challenges, sometimes with the help of “lucky” objects that reinforced a part of their identity; for

example, a drinking coaster (杯垫) decorated with a picture of an athlete might be given to a student to

use during a coaster-flipping game. The question was: Can custom-made equipment have an impact on

success? The answer seems to be yes. According to Scientific American: Even though participants did

not expect any benefit, they got higher scores using a customized pen, and they played a beer-coaster

flipping game better with customized coasters.

It is worth noting that the effect worked best when those customized objects had a strong

connection to some part of the student’s purpose. One of the study authors, professor Martin Schreier

explains, “If there is a connection between the goal and the identity, then you are more motivated to

achieve this goal because you can be sure of this part of the identity.”

32. Why does the author mention the examples of some greatest writers?

A. To voice views on strange habits.

B. To introduce the topic of the ritual.

C. To explain the recipe of their success.

D. To show they owe success to family bond.

33. What do more and more studies reveal according to Paragraph 2?

A. Rituals are of great benefit in studies.

B. Rituals enhance feeling of connection.

C. Rituals have a strong influence on behavior.

D. Rituals greatly help develop good habits.

34. Which of the following agrees with the findings of the studies in Paragraph 3?

A. Participants knew benefits of customized equipment.

B. Customization boosted participants’ performance.

C. Most athletes have their own customized equipment.

D. Custom equipment plays a decisive role in sports.

35. Which of the following can be a suitable title of the text?

Five Nutrition Myths and What Health Experts Want You to Know Instead

If you’re looking to improve your diet and achieve your health goals, keep reading to find out

what you need to know.

MYTH 1: All fat is bad.

By the 1980s, doctors, government health experts, the food industry and the media were reporting

that a low-fat diet could benefit everyone. As a result, many people replaced calories from fat with

calories from refined carbohydrates such as white flour and added sugar. 36 Examples of those

include monounsaturated (单元不饱和的) fats found in olive oil, certain nuts and seeds.

MYTH 2: 37

While the nutrition of plant-based drinks can vary, many have more added ingredients which can

contribute to poor health than cow’s milk. Typically, cow’s milk has about eight grams of protein per

250 millilitres. Almond drinks on the other hand, typically has one or two grams in the same amount.

MYTH 3: Potatoes are bad for you.

Potatoes have often been defamed in the nutrition community because of their high glycemic

index (血糖指数), which can increase your blood sugar sharply. 38 They are also inexpensive

and available year-round in grocery stores.

MYTH 4: “Calories in, calories out” is the most important factor for maintaining weight.

39 But research does not suggest that eating more will result in becoming overweight or

obese. Rather, it’s the types of foods we eat that may be the long-term drivers of those conditions.

MYTH 5: Fresh fruits and vegetables are always healthier than canned, frozen or dried

varieties.

Research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious

as their fresh counterparts. 40 However, some canned, frozen and dried varieties contain

added sugars, saturated (饱和的) fats and sodium, so be sure to read nutrition labels, especially on

prepared foods.

A. All drinks are nutritious.

B. They can also be a money saver.

C. Plant drinks are healthier than dairy milk.

D. In reality, healthy fats help reduce your risk.

E. It’s true that extra-processed foods can lead to weight gain.

F. However, they are rich in vitamin C, fibre and other nutrients.

G. If you burn more calories than you consume, you will probably lose weight.

I am a professor of psychology. Some time ago, I got halfway through a day of teaching before a

第二节（满分 25 分）

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervous about many things. But nothing compared to the

problem that I got to the age where my voice started changing. At first, the voice getting deep excited

me. But then I learned before getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).

The first time it happened I was so embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun of me.

In fact, they didn’t even mention it. But in my self-conscious sixth-grade mind I was certain they made

fun of me behind my back. They weren’t having the same problem.

After my first voice crack experience, I was determined to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. At

least not in public. So, except for strategic times I said, “cool” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My logic was,

“If I don’t use my voice, it cannot crack.” However, I couldn’t go without talking forever. I needed a

new solution.

I began clearing my throat before speaking, which actually seemed to help. Limiting how much I

spoke and clearing my voice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger

problem. I was much more scared about having a voice crack during class. My class had many new kids

I’d never spoken with. I didn’t want their first impressions of me to be based on a voice crack.

Unfortunately, one day my concern came true. It was about two months after the beginning of the

term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom. I noticed

that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking about how he would

take attendance. My permanent teacher never had to, since he already knew each student, I panicked.

So many thoughts rushed through my mind that I couldn’t think straight. I calmed myself down by

telling myself that I only had to say one word “Here”. “Easy enough, right?” I thought so until my name

was called. I did my routine—cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here.” The only problem was

that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of voice cracks.

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。

The whole class turned to look at me.

“You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said.
