C
Jimmy Carter is a 10-year-old boy who has visited many places around the world. But unlike most travelers, Jimmy “sees” these places from his mother’s back. Born with blindness and disability, Jimmy depends completely on his mother Anna and needs round-the-clock care.
Jimmy has a wheelchair, but they have never enjoyed using it. Every day, Anna carries Jimmy on her shoulders and helps him walk a short way with support. Together, they have traveled to many countries, visiting museums and taking wonderful photos to share happy moments.
Before each trip, Anna makes a plan and calls the travel companies to make sure they understand the situation. She always wakes up early to prepare meals, help Jimmy get dressed, and take care of all his needs. It is difficult, but she has made up her mind to give her son the best life she can provide.
When not traveling, they enjoy simple pleasures at home. They often ride a special bike together through their neighborhood, meeting their friendly neighbors. Over time, these neighbors often praise Anna for her courage and care toward her son.
Anna still remembers how her heart “broke” when she learned her son was blind for life. It took years to overcome those feelings of hurt. “Being a mom, my life is different,” she says, “but I will never stop being there for Jimmy because he makes my life meaningful.”

答案： 23.D[解析]词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Born with blindness and disability，Jimmy depends completely on his mother Anna”可知，吉米天生失明且残疾，完全依赖母亲安娜；结合生活常识可知，这类孩子需要母亲全天不间断的照顾，由此可推测“round-the-clock”意为“全天24小时，日夜不停”，与“all day and night”含义一致。故选D。
24.B[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jimmy‘sees’these places from his mother’s back”以及第二段中的“Every day，Anna carries Jimmy on her shoulders and helps him walk a short way with support. Together，they have traveled to many countries”可知，吉米在旅行时是通过母亲将他扛在肩上“看”世界的。故选B。
25.A[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When not traveling，they enjoy simple pleasures at home. They often ride a special bike together through their neighborhood，meeting their friendly neighbors.”可知，吉米在家时会和母亲一起骑特制自行车穿过社区，与友好的邻居见面。故选A。

D
It’s fun to visit the monkeys at the zoo and watch them play and climb. We laugh at how cute they are and talk about how much they seem like us. But in some cities, monkeys and people live together—it isn’t a pleasure at all.
In New Delhi, India, thousands of small monkeys live in the city. They steal food from street shops, break into people’s houses, and leave a mess. Sometimes they even bite(咬) people and cause blackouts(停电) and Internet problems. Every year the city grows and more forests are cut down, leaving monkeys with no wild space. Now monkeys are used to living in the city. It’s a big worry!
The government has tried many ways to keep monkeys away. Workers catch monkeys and take them to wild areas far from the city. To stop the monkeys from returning for food, trucks bring food to them. But the wild areas aren’t large enough for all the monkeys. Recently, the city also tried using paper tigers and recorded sounds to drive them away. However, monkeys quickly learn these aren’t real.
The problem won’t be easily solved. Most people like monkeys and don’t want to hurt them, but they don’t want monkeys in their homes either. The monkeys probably feel exactly the same way about us. No matter what method we choose, one thing is clear: if we don’t protect the homes of wild animals, they may have no choice but to live in ours.
27. Which is a problem caused by monkeys in New Delhi?
A. Making the zoo a mess.
B. Breaking into people’s homes.
C. Stealing food from trucks.
D. Causing harm to other animals.
28. Why is it difficult to keep monkeys away in the city?
① Because monkeys refuse to eat provided food.
② Because monkey catchers cannot catch them all.
③ Because the wild areas cannot hold so many monkeys.
④ Because paper tigers and recorded sounds don’t always work.
A. ①③
B. ②④
C. ③④
D. ②③
29. Which of the following is TRUE about Paragraph 4?
A. People don’t care about the monkeys living around them.
B. The government has found the best way to control monkeys.
C. Monkeys are happy to share their living space with humans.
D. Protecting monkeys’ natural homes may stop them from living in cities.
30. Where would you most probably find this passage?
A. In a story book.
B. In a zoo website.
C. In a wildlife magazine.
D. In a guide book.

答案： 27.B[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In New Delhi，India，thousands of small monkeys live in the city. They steal food from street shops，break into people’s houses，and leave a mess.”可知，新德里的猴子会闯入人们的家中，这是它们引发的问题之一。故选B。
28.C[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But the wild areas aren’t large enough for all the monkeys. Recently，the city also tried using paper tigers and recorded sounds to drive them away. However，monkeys quickly learn these aren’t real.”可知，难以将猴子赶出城市的原因包括：野生区域无法容纳所有猴子（③）、假老虎和录音等驱赶手段并不总是有效的（④）。文中未提及猴子拒绝吃提供的食物（①）和捕猴者无法捕捉所有猴子（②）。故选C。
29.D[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段(分析问题本质与解决方向)中的“No matter what method we choose，one thing is clear：if we don’t protect the homes of wild animals，they may have no choice but to live in ours.”可动词不定式作名词choice的定语可知，保护猴子的自然栖息地(即野生动物的家园)可能会阻止它们进入城市生活，该表述与选项D一致。故选D。
30.C[解析]推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But in some cities，monkeys and people live together—it isn’t a pleasure at all.”可知，本文谈论野生动物与人们杂居带来的问题，所以本文可能在野生动物杂志上出现。故选C。
