Protecting and serving is more than checking for imminent（紧急的） danger. One officer in South Hill, Virginia, makes it his mission to make people of all ages feel safe after giving the all-clear, starting with the younger generations.
And because of his kindness, many parents and their children look on C. B. Fleming as something of a superhero. 28-year-old Mom, Lesha Roper-Boswell said that the neighborhood kids need someone “larger than life” they can depend on to protect them and their town, and Fleming fits the role beautifully. “He’s awesome. That’s the only word you can really use to describe C. B.,” she told reporters. “It’s just amazing — the bond he has with the children.”
Recently, residents in an apartment complex had a scare when emergency crews came to investigate a gas leak. Though he could have just left the scene after making sure the leak wasn’t harmful, Officer Fleming made sure everyone in the building felt safer.
Seeing some kids play outside with dolls, he sat down and joined them, reassuring them that everything was going to be okay. The kids were happy to have another playmate, regardless of his uniform. Impressed and grateful, Roper-Boswell took a video of the kind act and posted it on Facebook, where it’s gained thousands of views from people living all over the country.
Fleming, who is celebrating his 15th year on the force, said he’s always desired to do more than fine people for violating（违反） parking rules. “It’s something I’ve always tried to do,” he said about also looking out for the children. “When I got into this job, I knew there was something different, other than just writing tickets and being the ‘bad’ person all the time. I figured if I could be that bright spot in someone’s day, then that was all that mattered.”
24. What kind of role did C. B. Fleming play according to Roper-Boswell
A. A risk-taker. B. A superhero.
C. A decision-maker. D. A teacher.
25. What about Fleming impressed Roper-Boswell at the scene
A. His devotion to work. B. His professional skills.
C. His striking uniform. D. His connection with kids.
26. What does C. B. Fleming consider a top priority in his life

A. Neighborhood Spared from Fire Thanks to Crews

C. Police Officer Becomes Hero to Neighborhood Kids
D. Police Officer Aims to Reduce Residents’ Violations
C
Nostalgia（怀旧） is a powerful emotion that can be employed to create a strong emotional connection between a brand and its audience. By tapping into the fond memories and positive associations that people have with a particular brand, marketers can create a sense of familiarity and comfort that resonates（共鸣） with their audience. This emotional connection can then be used to drive engagement and loyalty, ultimately leading to increased sales.
In the case of Barbie movie marketing, nostalgia has been used. By incorporating elements of the classic Barbie brand into the movies, such as the symbolic pink color, the classic Barbie logo, and the inclusion of classic Barbie characters, the movies serve as a way to transport fans back to their childhood and relive their favorite memories.
This emotional connection is further strengthened by the marketing campaigns, which create a sense of community and excitement around the brand. By using social media to build hype（夸张报道） and anticipation for each movie, the brand has managed to create a loyal and engaged fan base that has contributed to its success.
The success of Barbie movie marketing has not been limited to the brand’s existing fan base. In fact, the movies have managed to attract a new generation of fans who may not have been familiar with the classic Barbie brand. By creating movies that are both entertaining and empowering, the brand has managed to appeal to a wider audience, including young girls who may be looking for strong female role models.
The impact of Barbie movie marketing on a new generation can be seen in the way that the brand has developed over the years. Although Barbie was once denounced for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and conventional gender images, the brand has since made significant steps in promoting diversity and inclusivity（包容性）. The recent Barbie movies feature diverse actors and storylines that promote self-empowerment and self-acceptance, reflecting the changing attitudes and values of society.
28. Nostalgia is often used in marketing mainly because ______.
A. it enables a new brand to expand its markets quickly
B. it has a strong influence on people’s choice of goods
C. it brings back the audience’s positive emotions about a brand
D. it helps make goods appealing to customers of all age groups
29. What can we learn about Barbie movies
A. They highlight the color of pink. B. They use a different logo.
C. They target children as audiences. D. They are about community stories.
30. How have Barbie movies managed to grow their fan base
A. By simplifying the storylines.
B. By removing the classic characters.
C. By including more cultural elements.
D. By creating new female role models.
31. What does the underlined word “denounced” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Acknowledged. B. Criticized. C. Observed. D. Respected.
D
How is it that a fly always seems to be buzzing around your food moments after you sit down for an outdoor meal
The answer is practice. Or, more specifically: evolution（进化）. Flies and other insects have been on a multimillion-year journey of evolution, improving their ability to detect food. Being able to zero in on nutritious meals is a matter of life and death.
The family of flies that I study — the blowflies — are the buzzing ones that are usually a beautiful metallic blue, with bronze and green colors. They’ve perfected their ability to quickly sense the smells that naturally come off picnics and garbage cans. There is a lot of competition for a resource like an overflowing garbage can because of how nutritious garbage, with the meat rotting in it, is. But the blowflies can sense these smells long before their competitors or people can, and tend to show up to the scene first.
Sensing systems differ depending on the insect and species. The blowflies’ main sensing organ is their antennae, two thin projections（凸起） from the head that are covered in tiny hairs. These fine hairs are made up of special cells that contain receptors（受体） for specific smells. Think about a batch of chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. You can detect their delicious smells because we humans have receptors on the surfaces of the cells that line the inside of our noses. These receptors send signals to the brain: yummy food ahead. They’re detecting the sweet smell of sugar-based molecules, an energy-rich food source for us.
What’s a “good” or a “bad” smell can differ depending on the animal doing the smelling. The attractive rotting meat stench（恶臭） that a fly finds delightful is perceived quite differently by a person passing by an unpleasant garbage can on a hot day. But any fly that can detect the useful smell signal, which means “nutritious fly food here”, will have an advantage. Over time, the insects that have the receptors for those smells will have better survival rates and produce more generations.
32. Why does the author focus on blowflies in his study
A. They have attractive deep green colors.
B. They have gone through much evolution.
C. They have unusual ability to sense smells.
D. They are easier to control than other species.
33. In which field do blowflies have an advantage over their competitors
A. Detecting food resources. B. Designing flying routes.
C. Producing nutrition out of garbage. D. Escaping from enemies.
34. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A. By explaining a principle. B. By making a comparison.
C. By following time order. D. By describing a process.
35. What’s the message implied in the last paragraph
A. It’s rather easy to wipe out the blowflies.
B. Nutritious foods usually have attractive smells.
C. The receptors play a key role in flies’ survival.
D. Flies find a smell signal much faster than humans.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You’re overwhelmed（压垮）. That is a state where there is just too much on your plate. You have no idea how you will ever get it all done. 36 And it can lead to anxiety, unhealthy stress, and even burnout.
Here are three steps you can put into immediate action next time you feel overwhelmed.
Stop and breathe.
The first thing to do is stop. This may seem unreasonable when you hurry to get everything done. But to end the state of being overwhelmed, we first need to step out of the busyness. 37 And we end up running around and around in our own unproductiveness and panic. Start consciously breathing. As your breathing starts to slow, extend your breath. Bring your breath down deep into your stomach. Hold the inhale（吸气） for a few counts and then slowly release.
38
Stand up and get away from the situation that is causing the pressure and anxiety. It could be your desk, or your lounge room. If you can, go outside. If not, find a quiet space. You need to get some distance from the messiness. Walking away, even momentarily, often provides enough of a break to get some perspective. 39
Refocus.
After returning to your place, take a few moments to think about the situation. 40 As you do so, highlight the things that are adding fuel to your feeling of too much pressure. By taking the time to look at your priorities and time commitments, you will step out of the pressure, take care of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and give more energy to the tasks and projects that really matter.
A. Walk away.
B. Never stop moving forward.
C. Seek advice from people around you.
D. Then come back with a clearer mind.
E. Otherwise, it becomes a bad cycle.
F. It’s the feeling of being “in over your head”.
G. Write down all the things that are on your to-do list.

My legs and arms were shaking. Sweat was tripping down my face. Every step felt like thousands of needles were sinking into my legs. I couldn’t take it. By that time I had got three blisters（水泡） on each foot. It felt like I was in Sahara!
It was discovery week. Grade eight was visiting Altai for a week. We lived in camps near the river. Now we were going up the mountain called The Devil’s Finger. But the mountain was only getting steeper（陡的）. Most of the people were already on the top, screaming, laughing and taking selfies. Then I realized I had left my hat on the bus and I felt even worse. I touched my head. It was warm, but I couldn’t do anything about it.
Most of my friends were up the hill cheering me on. “Pointless!” I told them. “I can’t go any faster!” They looked at me and laughed. “They have got to be kidding me! Are they doing it on purpose ”
I was making my way slowly up the mountain. My feet stepped on something. I thought it was a rock, but whatever. The rock slipped from under my boot and went tumbling down the mountain. I lost my balance and fell on the ground. “Are you OK ” I heard a voice behind me. “Just tired. I’m taking a break.” I didn’t want to say that I fell.
There were only eight people behind me by that time. I decided to speed up because I didn’t want to be the last one up. I looked up. Yana was already on the top, waving to me. “It’s like she isn’t tired at all,” I thought to myself. The sun was behind her so I could barely see her face. Actually, no. I could see a huge smile on her face. She was shouting something, but I couldn’t hear it. I decided that the rest of the way up I would not stop to take any breaks.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

However, my body wasn’t listening and I sunk to the ground again. ______

M: The first residents of Australia were the Aboriginal people. Most Aboriginal Australians were hunter-gatherers who lived off the land. They hunted and ate native animals, insects and fish as well as plants and fruits. Today this hunter-gatherer diet is called “Bush Tucker”.
When European settlement started, the population of Aboriginal Australians was between 750,000 and 1,000,000, and over the next 150 years this number got dramatically lower. The biggest cause of death in Aboriginal communities were European diseases, for example, smallpox and tuberculosis.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the government took Aboriginal children from their families and put them in special institutions or with white European families to force them to be more like white Australians. This generation of children is called the “Stolen Generation” and is thought to be another reason why the population decreased.
As well as their children, Aboriginal Australians also had their land and their rights taken from them. They were not allowed to vote. They had to wait at the back of shops until all the white people had been served and they were forced to live on reserves. Today they are recognized as the traditional owners of Australian land and have equal rights as citizens of Australia. However, they are still disadvantaged.

Dear Janson,
I’m much delighted to know that you are interested in learning about Chinese traditional festivals. Here I’m recommending the book Chinese Festivals to you. In it, there are introductions to all the major Chinese festivals, like the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Better still, the book is written in English and contains 150 pages in all. It has colorful illustrations, through which you will get a better understanding of the Chinese festivals and various activities specially organized for them.
Will you please give me your address so I can send a copy to you as a gift afterwards
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

One possible version:
However, my body wasn’t listening and I sunk to the ground again. It was too hot and my lips were dried. I reached for my water bottle. My blisters were killing me and the pain was unbearable. My lungs felt like they were about to explode. However, I pushed myself to get up. The Devil’s Finger laughed at me with its steep incline, but I refused to give in. My friends’ cheers echoed in my ears, reminding me that I wasn’t alone. With each step, I felt like I was conquering not just the mountain, but my own fears and limitations.
