A flat tire! “This is making the boring trip even worse,” she thought to herself. “No big deal! We’ll continue our trip soon!” Her dad jumped out to change the tire. “What kind of trip is this? We’re driving in a broken car, all the way through South Dakota, just to see some huge rocks! There’s nothing fun in that!” Serena thought and returned to her phone. “What’s so interesting on your phone?” Her brother Tony asked curiously. “Ally shared pictures from her vacation. She’s on a real trip in Africa! Look! Elephants! Hippos! Even lions!” she said. “You can also post a picture of our trip.” Tony said. “You mean pictures of Dad changing a flat tire in the middle of nowhere? Who would want to see that?” “But that’s the great thing about this whole trip!” Tony said excitedly. “We have no idea what’s going to happen, or what surprises we might have! We’re on a true trip.” Tony continued, “I read that there’s an amazing place out here. I found pictures online. Look how amazing they are!” Serena put down her phone as Tony introduced pictures of the ancient animals and other interesting things about here. She looked out of the window, wondering when they could get there. But then she held her breath. Just on the other side of the road, was a herd of bison (一群野牛) walking slowly through the grasses. She’d never seen anything like them this close before! “Well, I didn’t expect that! Maybe we’re going to have a real trip after all,” said Serena as she quickly took a picture through the window. “Exactly! Now look how wonderful the view is at the moment!” Tony said. “And all because we got a flat tire.” 24. Why did Tony show Serena the pictures online? A. To ask her to compete with her friends. B. To prove he was good at taking pictures. C. To encourage her to study ancient animals. D. To show their trip can be amazing, too. 25. What does “that” in the passage refer to? A.

The value of living in the moment. The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, is remembered for the many things he did during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B.C, he started the construction of the Great Wall of China. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency (货币流通), and set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta (陶器) soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb (基) after his death. Today, the soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren’t always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground. When they were ___▲___, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history. New techniques are now starting to reveal (揭露) the army’s true colors. Scientists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese researchers have developed a special liquid (液体) to help keep the soldiers’ colors. After they find a soldier, scientists spread the liquid over it. They then cover it in plastic. Scientists are also finding colors in the dirt around Xian’s terracotta warriors. “It’s important not to move the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. We are treating the earth as an art piece,” says Rong Bo, the museum’s leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to put the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to life in full color. 28. What is the reading mainly about? A. why the emperor’s clay army was built. B the real colors of the terracotta soldiers. C. what life was like for soldiers under Emperor Qin. D. why the emperor’s tomb was built. 29. In paragraph 3,what can be put into ___▲___? A. cleaned up B. dug up C. looked over D. fixed up 30. What have scientists recently discovered? A. A museum with many art pieces. B. A liquid in the tomb that keeps the soldiers’ colors. C. A place with over a hundred terracotta soldiers. D. A new tomb for Emperor Qin. 31. Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with? A. The soldiers should be left the way they were found. B. Artists should be able to paint the soldiers the colors they want. C. We should try to repaint the army’s real colors. D. we should clear up the earth around the army for visitors to see them. Last April, Runway AI, a New York company introduced technology that let people make videos by typing a sentence into a box on a computer screen. The several-second videos were not clear. Just 10 months later, another company OpenAI has developed a similar system that can create videos seemingly from a Hollywood movie. It shows a short video created in minutes: a woman is walking down a street. The technology could speed the work of seasoned movie-makers, but make less experienced digital artists lose their jobs. They call this system Sora. However, Sora is not perfect. Sometimes, things like shop signs in the videos don’t make sense. Although it is good at getting details right, it can still make mistakes, like making the crowd’s feet look strange in the street video. Despite (尽管) these challenges, Sora has a lot of possibilities. Models like Sora can change things by making videos in real-time (实时). This can be a big deal for things like video games and help the AI market grow even more. But to make this happen, we need a lot of computing power. Making just one second of video needs a lot of frames (电影画面的一帧), but present models take a long time to process each frame. The company has not made Sora open to the public yet… 32. How does the writer start the passage? A. By showing facts. B. By giving reasons. C. By telling stories. D. By asking questions. 33. What does the underlined word “seasoned” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. smart B. famous C. hard-working D. experienced 34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Sora can create pictures from text but make mistakes in some details. B. Sora can create videos from texts and is good at getting every detail right C. Sosa can be expected to bring risks and chances to the film industry. D. Sora can’t help the growth of AI and video games market. 35. What may the writer continue to talk about in the last paragraph? A Solutions to the problems of Sora. B. Reasons for not bringing out Sora. C. Actions to make Sora more useful. D. Ways to introduce Sora to the public. ①Corals (珊瑚) can produce CaCO3 under their bodies. This turns into hard, rock-like reefs which become homes to 25 percent of all sea life. What if our homes can also naturally grow, just like reefs? ②US company Biomason produces a new kind of concrete (混擬土) called Biolith, using bacteria that can make CaCO3. They first mixed sand and bacteria in a mould (模具), and then added nutrient solution (培养液) to keep the bacteria alive. Five days later the Biolith bricks “grew up” and were ready to use. That’s much faster than producing traditional concrete, which requires about 28 days. ③According to the company, this method can greatly cut down carbon emissions in the building industry. Traditional concrete is made of small stones. The stones are heated to temperatures greater than 1, 300°C, during which carbon dioxide comes out. A company, McKinsey & Company, reported that the concrete production industry accounts for 4.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. ④Biolith, however, doesn’t need heating so it’s more environmentally friendly. The company plans to reduce 25 percent of carbon emissions from the concrete industry by 2030. ⑤There are other similar technologies, but they are not in production yet. The University of Colorado in the US is studying a living, recyclable building material using cyanobacteria (蓝藻细菌). It can use CO2 and sunlight to grow and help get carbon. NASA is trying to grow buildings out of fungi (菌类) on the Moon and Mars, which may lead to more sustainable ways of living on the Earth. 36. What are the steps of making Biolith? a. Put the mixture in a mould. b. The bricks grow up. c. Add nutrient solution. d. Mix sand and bacteria. A. abcd B. aedb C. dcab D. dacb 37. Why is Biolith greener than traditional concrete? A. Because the growth of Biolith is faster. B. Because Biolith doesn’t have the process of heating. C. Because producing Biolith gives off carbon dioxide in the air. D. Because the growth of Biolith doesn’t give out any heat. 38. What’s the structure of the story? A. B. C. D. 39. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. New technologies make it possible to live on the moon. B. Corals are homes to all sea life. C. Researchers use bacteria to “grow” houses. D. US company thinks of ways to make nutrient solution.

VI、任务型阅读阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。 Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music boosts certain language abilities in the brain. Here are two examples. Music and Hearing A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra. When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise. Music and Speech Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke patients (中风病人). Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to finally speak. Why does this work? Music seems to activate different parts of the brain, including the sick parts. This somehow helps patients use those parts of the brain again. Music, therefore, is not only enjoyable; it’s also good for us in many ways. 45. Does a musical training help people hear more clearly? _____________________________________________________________ 46. How does Gottfried Schlaug help stroke patients speak? _____________________________________________________________ 47. What can music do to people according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________ 48. Nowadays many students believe listening to music help them to focus on doing homework. Is that true to you? Give the reason. _____________________________________________________________ VII、完成句子(每小题2分,共10分) 根据所给提示,完成句子,每空一词,含缩略词。 49.

Between 221 and 210 B.C, he started the construction of the Great Wall of China. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency (货币流通), and set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta (陶器) soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb (基) after his death. Today, the soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren’t always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground. When they were ___▲___, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history. New techniques are now starting to reveal (揭露) the army’s true colors. Scientists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese researchers have developed a special liquid (液体) to help keep the soldiers’ colors. After they find a soldier, scientists spread the liquid over it. They then cover it in plastic. Scientists are also finding colors in the dirt around Xian’s terracotta warriors. “It’s important not to move the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. We are treating the earth as an art piece,” says Rong Bo, the museum’s leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to put the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to life in full color. 28. What is the reading mainly about? A. why the emperor’s clay army was built. B. the real colors of the terracotta soldiers. C. what life was like for soldiers under Emperor Qin. D. why the emperor’s tomb was built. 29. In paragraph 3,what can be put into ___▲___? A. cleaned up B. dug up C. looked over D. fixed up 30. What have scientists recently discovered? A. A museum with many art pieces. B. A liquid in the tomb that keeps the soldiers’ colors. C. A place with over a hundred terracotta soldiers. D. A new tomb for Emperor Qin. 31. Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with? A. The soldiers should be left the way they were found. B. Artists should be able to paint the soldiers the colors they want. C. We should try to repaint the army’s real colors. D. we should clear up the earth around the army for visitors to see them. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述秦始皇兵马俑和其真正的颜色。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知，本文主要讲述秦始皇兵马俑和其真正的颜色。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground.”可知，这些陶土士兵被埋在地下，因此此处应指它们被挖出来，用dig up表示“挖出来”。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scientists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.”可知，科学家们最近发现了一个有一百多名士兵的地区。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to put the colors to the army again.

The several-second videos were not clear. Just 10 months later, another company OpenAI has developed a similar system that can create videos seemingly from a Hollywood movie. It shows a short video created in minutes: a woman is walking down a street. The technology could speed the work of seasoned movie-makers, but make less experienced digital artists lose their jobs. They call this system Sora. However, Sora is not perfect. Sometimes, things like shop signs in the videos don’t make sense. Although it is good at getting details right, it can still make mistakes, like making the crowd’s feet look strange in the street video. Despite (尽管) these challenges, Sora has a lot of possibilities. Models like Sora can change things by making videos in real-time (实时). This can be a big deal for things like video games and help the AI market grow even more. But to make this happen, we need a lot of computing power. Making just one second of video needs a lot of frames (电影画面的一帧), but present models take a long time to process each frame. The company has not made Sora open to the public yet… 32. How does the writer start the passage? A. By showing facts. B. By giving reasons. C. By telling stories. D. By asking questions. 33. What does the underlined word “seasoned” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. smart B. famous C. hard-working D. experienced 34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Sora can create pictures from text but make mistakes in some details. B. Sora can create videos from texts and is good at getting every detail right C. Sosa can be expected to bring risks and chances to the film industry. D. Sora can’t help the growth of AI and video games market. 35. What may the writer continue to talk about in the last paragraph? A. Solutions to the problems of Sora. B. Reasons for not bringing out Sora. C. Actions to make Sora more useful. D. Ways to introduce Sora to the public. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Sora可以带来挑战和可能性 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Last April, Runway AI, a New York company introduced technology that let people make videos by typing a sentence into a box on a computer screen. The several-second videos were not clear.”可知，去年，纽约的Runway AI公司推出了一项技术，人们可以通过在电脑屏幕上的方框中键入一句话来制作视频。但这几秒的视频并不清晰。因此可知作者通过摆事实来开始文章。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The technology could speed the work of seasoned movie-makers, but make less experienced digital artists lose their jobs.”可知，这项技术可以加快经验丰富的电影制作人的工作，但会让经验不足的数字艺术家失业。因此seasoned意为“经验丰富的”，与experienced同义。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The technology could speed the work of seasoned movie-makers, but make less experienced digital artists lose their jobs.”和“Despite (尽管) these challenges, Sora has a lot of possibilities.”可知，Sora将给电影行业带来风险和机遇。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The company has not made Sora open to the public yet…”可知，最后一段可能继续谈到这个公司不把Sora向公众开放的原因。故选B。 ①Corals (珊瑚) can produce CaCO3 under their bodies. This turns into hard, rock-like reefs which become homes to 25 percent of all sea life. What if our homes can also naturally grow, just like reefs? ②US company Biomason produces a new kind of concrete (混擬土) called Biolith, using bacteria that can make CaCO3. They first mixed sand and bacteria in a mould (模具), and then added nutrient solution (培养液) to keep the bacteria alive. Five days later the Biolith bricks “grew up” and were ready to use. That’s much faster than producing traditional concrete, which requires about 28 days. ③According to the company, this method can greatly cut down carbon emissions in the building industry. Traditional concrete is made of small stones. The stones are heated to temperatures greater than 1, 300°C, during which carbon dioxide comes out. A company, McKinsey & Company, reported that the concrete production industry accounts for 4.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. ④Biolith, however, doesn’t need heating so it’s more environmentally friendly. The company plans to reduce 25 percent of carbon emissions from the concrete industry by 2030. ⑤There are other similar technologies, but they are not in production yet. The University of Colorado in the US is studying a living, recyclable building material using cyanobacteria (蓝藻细菌). It can use CO2 and sunlight to grow and help get carbon. NASA is trying to grow buildings out of fungi (菌类) on the Moon and Mars, which may lead to more sustainable ways of living on the Earth. 36. What are the steps of making Biolith? a. Put the mixture in a mould. b. The bricks grow up. c. Add nutrient solution. d. Mix sand and bacteria. A. abcd B. aedb C. dcab D. dacb 37. Why is Biolith greener than traditional concrete? A. Because the growth of Biolith is faster. B. Because Biolith doesn’t have the process of heating. C. Because producing Biolith gives off carbon dioxide in the air. D. Because the growth of Biolith doesn’t give out any heat. 38. What’s the structure of the story? A. B. C. D. 39. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. New technologies make it possible to live on the moon. B. Corals are homes to all sea life. C. Researchers use bacteria to “grow” houses. D. US company thinks of ways to make nutrient solution. 【答案】36 D 37. B 38. C 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们受珊瑚的启示利用现代技术制造可以自然生长的建筑材料。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They first mixed sand and bacteria in a mould, and then added nutrient solution to keep the bacteria alive. Five days later the Biolith bricks “grew up” and were ready to use.”可知制造生物石，首先把沙子和能制造碳酸钙的细菌混合在一个模具里，然后加培养液保持细菌存活，五天后生物石长大备用，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Traditional concrete is made of small stones. The stones are heated to temperatures greater than 1, 300°C, during which carbon dioxide comes out. A company, McKinsey & Company, reported that the concrete production industry accounts for 4.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Biolith, however, doesn’t need heating so it’s more environmentally friendly.”可知传统的混凝土由小石头制成，需要加热1300°C以上，在这个过程中会产生大量二氧化碳，而生物石不需要加热，故选B。 【38题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章可知，第一段提出问题，第二、三段介绍了一个解决问题的技术，第四段介绍了解决问题的其它尚未投产的技术，故选C。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文可知文章介绍了利用现代技术制造可以自然生长的建筑材料，故选C。 V、口语应用(共5分) 阅读下面的对话，根据上下文，选择恰当的选项补全对话，使句意完整，符合逻辑。（其中有两项为多余选项） (Li Juan is talking with her brother Li Ming.

According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music boosts certain language abilities in the brain. Here are two examples. Music and Hearing A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra. When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise. Music and Speech Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke patients (中风病人). Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to finally speak. Why does this work? Music seems to activate different parts of the brain, including the sick parts. This somehow helps patients use those parts of the brain again. Music, therefore, is not only enjoyable; it’s also good for us in many ways. 45. Does a musical training help people hear more clearly? _____________________________________________________________ 46. How does Gottfried Schlaug help stroke patients speak? _____________________________________________________________ 47. What can music do to people according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________ 48.
