本文是一篇新闻报道。文章包含了时事背景（如移民潮、无家可归人口问题）、政策解释 （如“庇护权 ”授权）、具体事例（如 Ingrid Henao 一家的经历） 以及社会反响（如对酒店转 型为收容所的不同看法）。
32. C 推理判断题。“more New York than New York ”这种表达通常是用来强调某个事物非常具 有纽约的特色，是纽约的典型代表，因此 C 符合题意。文中未提及the Row NYC 是最高的 酒店或很便宜的酒店，因此 A 、D 不正确。选项 B 说人们倾向于住在 the Row NYC ，这并不 能直接体现出城市文化的代表性。故选 C。
33. D 细节理解题。根据文中第三、四段可知，疫情冲击城市且移民家庭增加使得很多酒店被 改造成了移民避难所。选项 A 避难所更多的为移民提供避难的地方，而不是为了赚钱。选项 B“旅游业蓬勃发展并需要更好的服务 ”和原文不符。选项 C“应该为无家可归的人提供良 好的条件 ”，这可能是酒店变成避难所之后的结果而不是原因。故选 D。
34. B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The contracts with the city — totaling up to 1.04 billion — became a boom for hotels recovering from inactive tourism, filling a critical ... in Mid-town Manhattan were removed from the tourist pipeline, transforming them into unlikely refuges in plain sight. ”可知，酒店被转变为避难所以满足迁移人口的需求，这导致了“一些旅行者房 间的短缺 ”。这是一个直接且长期的后果，因为避难所的用途不太可能短期内改变。故选 B。
35. A 观点态度题。通读全文可知，作者比较客观地进行描述，没有参杂作者本人的看法和评 价，因此作者持客观态度。故选 A。

38. C 本段中提到 PLB 设备使用专用的频道联络以及可以持续数年不用充电的电池的特点让其在 极端环境中正常使用。C 选项中 This reliability 与上文和小标题呼应，故选 C。
39. B 根据下文“doesn’t have to break the bank ”、“Prices for these devices have become more accessible ” 以及“a small price to pay for your safety ”可知，本段主要阐述 PLB 设备价格并不昂贵，可以用
大家支付得起的价格来保障安全。故选 B。
40. D 上文提到想要拥有该设备保障安全不用花费高昂的费用。D 选项是对于获得设备方式的进一 步阐述，如果购买不起还可以采用租赁的方式获得 PLB 设备，与前文内容衔接紧密，故选 D。

续写范文
第一段
I walked across the street, past the annoying table, and knocked on the student’s door. My palms were sweating, and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. When he opened the door, there was a defensive look in his eyes. Without hesitation, I stretched out the plate of cookies I had made and said sincerely, “I'm here to say sorry. I was really out of line yesterday. I hope you can forgive me.” He fixed his eyes on the cookies, and then looked up at me. After a moment of silence, his tense expression softened, and he said with a small smile, “I wasn't so nice either. Let's just forget it.” We chatted briefly to clear up the awkwardness, and I left with a much - relieved heart.
第二段
As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. The gentle wind blew through my hair, making me feel relaxed. This apology wasn't just about making peace with him; it was also a significant step for my personal growth. The once - annoying table now stood as a symbol, reminding me that a simple act of kindness could turn a quarrel into a friendly moment. It taught me to control my emotions and think twice before getting angry. This experience would stay with me forever, guiding me to handle conflicts more calmly and maturely in the future.

Malala Yousafzai is widely acknowledged as one of the outstanding young activists on the global stage. Among her numerous honors are her roles as an advocate for education, a human rights activist, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Born in Mingora, Pakistan, in 1997, Malala encountered tough challenges from a young age, yet she emerged as a global symbolization of resilience (坚韧) and unwavering determination.
At the age of 11, Malala embarked on her advocacy for girls’ education in her hometown, undeterred(未被吓住的) by the threats from the Taliban, who fiercely opposed female education. Her remarkable courage and perseverance drew international attention, but it also made her a high-profile target. In 2012, she was the victim of a violent attack by a gunman while on the way home from school. The assassination (暗杀) attempt, intended to silence her, instead strengthened her voice on the global stage, spreading her message to an international audience.
How did Malala Yousafzai transform adversity into advocacy and become global icon status Following her hard recovery, she persisted in championing the right to education. Her first speech at the United Nations in 2013 represented a crucial moment in her pursuit. Subsequently, she co-authored her memoir, “I Am Malala”, which became international bestseller status. In 2014, at the age of 17, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the youngest-ever winner for her brave struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the universal right to education.
Malala’s activism exceeds the field of education. She has used her influential platform to advocate for human rights, gender equality, and peace. Her organization, the Malala Fund, is dedicated to ensuring that every girl has access to 12 years of free, safe, and quality education. Despite the challenges she has faced, Malala remains a resilient guide of hope and inspiration for millions across the globe.
24. Why did the 2012 attack on Malala backfire
A. It led to the immediate collapse of the Taliban’s cause.
B. It silenced other activists advocating for girls’ education.
C. It drew widespread attention to her cause and highlighted her message.
D. It caused Malala to give in to the Taliban’s cause out of fear.
25. What does the phrase “transform adversity into advocacy” in paragraph 3 most likely imply about Malala Yousafzai’s journey
A. She used her personal struggles as a platform to fight for others’ rights.
B She abandoned her activism after facing life-threatening challenges.
C. She focused on her recovery and avoided public attention.
D. She shifted her focus from education to political leadership.
26. Which of the following best describes Malala Yousafzai
A. Courageous and determined. B. Ambitious and adventurous.

27. What is the main point of Malala Yousafzai’s story
A. Education is the key to empowerment.
B. Fame comes with opportunities and risks.
C. Young girls can contribute to social change.
D. Adversity can be overcome with determination and hope.
C
The experiments sound like something out of a horror movie. Sew two mice together so that they share blood in a single circulatory system. This procedure has led to new discoveries in the study of aging. Studies using the procedure, called parabiosis, suggest that pumping blood from young mice into old mice can make the old mice act young again. But scientists are still testing “young blood” and debating whether it really holds the secret to turning back time.
In the 2000s, Thomas Rando, a neurologist at Stanford University in California, conducted an experiment using parabiosis. He found that the young mouse blood caused certain cells in older mice to help repair damaged muscles. But the blood from old mice also affected young mice in negative ways. Rando’s experiment also hinted at some growth of new brain cells.
This really interested Tony Wyss-Coray, a neuroscientist at Stanford University. In 2011, Wyss-Coray and his graduate student Saul Villeda found that if old mice received blood from young mice, they experienced a burst of cell growth in the hippocampus—as many as three to four times more new cells than mice that did not receive young blood. And if young mice received old blood, this slowed cell growth, making the mice old before their time. This was partly due to a high level of a protein called CCL11 in old blood. CCL11 blocks the growth of new brain cells.
These results stirred a great deal of excitement. What if young blood could help Alzheimer’s patients improve their memories This is exactly what Wyss-Coray set out to learn.
Michael and Irina Conboy, research scientists at UC Berkeley who worked with Thomas Rando have conducted a blood-exchange experiment. The Conboys noted that although young blood had some positive effects on older mice, it’s not so much that young blood has magical age-defying properties. Instead, it just helps filter out or dilute some of the “bad stuff” in old blood. “Science is the process of refining the questions we have, ” Conboy says. Researchers are hopeful that, one day science will finally unlock the secrets of aging.
28. Why might young mice receiving old blood become older according to Wyss-Coray
A. Cell growth in the hippocampus. B. Age-defying properties.
C. Repaired muscles during Parabiosis. D. High amount of CCL11.
29. What does the underlined word “dilute” mean in paragraph 5
A. Identify. B. Weaken. C. Intensify. D. Locate.
30. What do the researchers think of the prospects of the experiments
A. Unconvincing. B. Skeptical. C. Promising. D. Unclear.
31. What is the best title of the passage
A. Overturning Old Age B. Regaining Lost Memories
C. Maintaining Healthy Cells D. Uncovering Alzheimer’s Disease
D
The first hotel to change into a migrant shelter was the Row NYC, once a four-star hotel in Times Square that advertised itself as “more New York than New York”.
The hotel was repurposed in late 2022, when Mr. Adams declared that the population in traditional homeless shelters had hit a “breaking point” absorbing more than 16,000 asylum seekers. And the city had the responsibility to house homeless people, including new immigrants, under a longstanding mandate (授权) known as right to shelter.
Desperate for more space, the city negotiated an initial $40 million deal with the Row, still in financial trouble, from the pandemic. The hotel received $190 a night per room to house migrant families with children in its 1,331 rooms.
As the pace of the migrant arrivals began to exceed 2,000 each week last year, more than 100 hotels were turned into shelters.
The contracts with the city — totaling up to 1.04 billion — became a boom for hotels recovering from inactive tourism, filling a critical need for migrant beds even as they created a shortage of rooms for some travelers. Nearly two dozen hotels in Mid-town Manhattan were removed from the tourist pipeline, transforming them into unlikely refuges in plain sight. Some drew special attention for robberies in Times Square last year that the police attributed to a small group of migrants living in the hotel.
It was Ingrid Henao’s second week in New York, but the parents were already diligently applying for work permits and jobs. Still, Ms. Henao could not shake a feeling of guilt that their stay in the hotel, tucked between the skyscrapers of Billionaire’s Row, was being funded by American taxpayers. They were getting free laundry service, their clothes sometimes returned, folded and placed in their room, as well as housekeeping. Uncomfortable, Ms. Henao would sometimes prevent servants from cleaning the room.
“We’re getting spoiled,” Ms. Henao said. “This was never my idea. I didn’t leave my country under the conditions for which we escaped.”
32. What does the author show by “more New York than New York”
A. The Row NYC was a cheap hotel.
B. People tended to live in the Row NYC.
C. Row NYC was a representative of city culture.
D. It’s amazing that the Row NYC was highest hotel.
33. What caused the appearance of the hotels ’ turning into shelters
A. The government wanted to make money.
B. The tourism was booming and calling for better service.
C. Good conditions should be provided for the homeless people.
D. The pandemic hit the city and migrant families increased.
34. What long-term issue might hotel conversions cause
A. Rising crime in tourist zones. B. Permanent tourist room shortages.
C. Chronic taxpayer resentment. D. Migrant dependency on aid.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the deed
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.

Cookies for Forgiveness
Last week, a U - Haul truck pulled up across the street, and a college student unloaded a Ping - Pong table onto his front lawn. To most, it might seem harmless, but to me, it was a trigger. In my town, a Ping - Pong table on a lawn isn’t just for games — it’s a beer - pong table, a symbol of late - night noise and chaos. Years ago, my husband and I lived near the university, surrounded by students who turned beer pong into a lifestyle. The thumping bass and laughter kept us awake night after night. We eventually moved to a quieter neighborhood, at great expense, to escape it.
So, when I saw that table, memories of those sleepless nights flooded back. Anger rose inside me, uncontrollable. I walked over, past the table, and knocked on the student’s door. I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize. Instead, he met my rage(暴怒) with rudeness.
“Who are you to tell me what to do ” he shot back. His words only added to my rage. I said things I didn’t mean, my voice sharp with dirty words. My husband, sensing trouble, pulled me away before things got worse.
The rest of the day, I was angry. But by morning, shame replaced anger. I thought about the confrontation (冲突)in my mind. Why couldn’t I keep my cool Why did I let something so unimportant make me angry I’ve always struggled with anger — it runs in my family — but I’ve worked hard to change. I tried therapy(心理治疗), meditation（冥想）, journaling — I’ve tried them all. Yet, there I was, yelling at a stranger over a Ping - Pong table. I knew I had to make it right.
I turned to what I do best: baking. I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough I’d made weeks earlier. The dough balls were my secret weapon, ready to turn into warm, comforting cookies at a moment’s notice. As the cookies baked, the house filled with their sweet, buttery smell. I let them cool, then arranged them on a plate, my hands shaking.
