These range from very large events to local celebrations in tiny villages. We have selected a few of the more unusual, colourful festivals from around the world. Mighty Mud (泥; 泥浆) Mania: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA Children’s dreams really do come true in the City of Scottsdale. Children aged 1 to 13, get to join in the mud race Mighty Mudway features water and mud games. There are also water slides, sandcastle buildings and fun for all ages. Moms and dads, remember to send your kids out with old clothes and shoes. Songkran Festival, Thailand What better way to celebrate the “start of the return of rains” than with a country-wide water fight? Thais celebrate their festival officially from April 13th until April 15th. These three days represent the last day of the old year, the day of transition, and the first day of the New Year. Water battles fought out for days in the streets of every town and city over the country. The La Tomatina Festival, Spain On the last Wednesday of every August thousands of Spaniards take part in the La Tomatina Festival in Bunol. Truckloads of tomatoes are pulled in each year and dumped in the city centre. The people throw tomatoes at each other for the whole day, but the only rule is that the tomato must be flattened in the hand first, before being thrown. Even elderly grandmothers have been known to take part. Canberra Sled Dog Classic: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia. As there’s no snow (the trail is earth and sand and is smooth and wide with a few hills and turns) , the sleds have wheels instead of runners, but the excitement is the same. 1. Which festival is most suitable for 10-year-old Jack and his younger brother? A. Mighty Mud Mania B. Songkran Festival C. The La Tomatina Festival D. Canberra Sled Dog Classic 2. How is the Songkran Festival in Thailand traditionally celebrated? A. With a dog sledding race. B. Through a country-wide water fight. C. By having a nationwide tomato fight. D. By building sandcastles in a muddy environment. 3. What do the festivals above have in common? A. They are all for adults. B. They happen in the same season. C. They all have joyful atmosphere. D. They all happen in the same country. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上一些独特且丰富多彩的节日。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mighty Mud (泥; 泥浆) Mania: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA部分中“Children’s dreams really do come true in the City of Scottsdale. Children aged 1 to 13, get to join in the mud race Mighty Mudway features water and mud games. (在斯科茨代尔市，孩子们的梦想真的成真了。1至13岁的小朋友可以参加泥地比赛。Mighty Mudway的特色是水和泥的游戏。)”可知，Mighty Mud Mania最适合10岁的杰克和他的弟弟。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Songkran Festival, Thailand部分中“What better way to celebrate the “start of the return of rains” than with a country-wide water fight? (还有什么比在全国范围内打一场水仗更好的方式来庆祝“雨季的开始”呢?)”和“Water battles fought out for days in the streets of every town and city over the country. (在全国每个城镇的街道上，水战持续了数天)”可知，泰国通过一场全国性的水仗来庆祝传统的泼水节。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中对4个节日的介绍可知，他们并不只适合成年人，因为亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔的Mighty Mud Mania音乐节特别提到，1至13岁的儿童都可以参加；这些节日并非都在同一个季节举行，因为泰国的宋干节在4月，西班牙的番茄节在8月，堪培拉雪橇狗经典赛也没有特定的季节；它们也并不都发生在同一个国家，因为它们分别在美国、泰国、西班牙和澳大利亚庆祝，故ABD是错误选项。根据第一段中“We have selected a few of the more unusual, colourful festivals from around the world. (我们从世界各地挑选了一些更不寻常、更丰富多彩的节日。)”和下文的介绍可知，这4个节日都具有趣味性，充满了快乐的气氛。故选C项。 B In 2018, Pollyanna, a former reporter, was sad by the death of her mother. “My mother’s loss was terrible to me and she had always been my spiritual anchor.” Her mother focused on helping poor children and held a firm belief that education had the changing power of a person’s life. Influenced by her mother, Pollyanna was eager to do her best to help others. Three years later after her mother’s passing away, Pollyanna decided to return from the big city to start a free boarding school in her hometown, a poor mountain village, to help kids who couldn’t afford to go to school. As a local, she realized that a boarding school was the most logical and efficient way to provide access to education for children from across the region, bridging the gap in educational opportunities. “Starting a boarding school was a decision born out of necessity and a desire to make a meaningful influence on the region’s education.” According to her, a boarding school could not only address the transport difficulties but also ensure a safe learning environment for children there. Pollyanna has been mainly using her savings to support the no-charging school. Additionally, she has received support from many people who have helped to cover the cost of some students and the monthly expenses. However, there are still some problems listed by Pollyanna. Limited teachers, difficulties in construction and transportation, and bad weather conditions are the major difficulties that come in the way of her mission. “Knowledge sharing and finding similar role models in this remote region is also a challenging task. In addition, the natural conditions here are tough, making every breath an effort,” she explains. Despite the many difficulties in Pollyanna’ journey, she remains determined not to give up. “Working here makes me feel closer to my mother. I am eager to apply myself to this career.” The former reporter is now playing the role of a teacher, a caretaker and in many ways a motherly figure to these children. 4. Why did Pollyanna set up a free boarding school? A. Because she was a nature-lover. B. Because she wanted to be a teacher. C. Because her former job influenced her. D. Because her mother set an example for her. 5. What does the underlined word “address” in paragraph 3 mean? A. solve B. deliver C. change D. claim 6. What will Pollyanna do in the future? A. Take a trip to other cities. B. Improve the natural conditions. C. Continue to stay here to teach. D. Attract more people to work here. 7. What is the main idea of this text? A. A reporter will make a big difference. B. The construction of a school was difficult. C. A girl and her mother started a school together. D. A former reporter contributed to education in the mountains. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了波莉安娜在母亲去世后，受到母亲帮助贫困儿童和教育改变人生信念的影响，决定回到家乡贫困山区创办免费寄宿学校，帮助无法上学的孩子。虽然面临教师短缺、建设困难、交通不便和恶劣天气等挑战，但波莉安娜决心不放弃，用自己的积蓄和他人帮助支持学校运营，并在这一过程中感受到与母亲更近的联系，致力于教育事业。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Her mother focused on helping poor children and held a firm belief that education had the changing power of a person’s life. Influenced by her mother, Pollyanna was eager to do her best to help others.(她的母亲专注于帮助贫困儿童，并坚信教育能改变一个人的生活。受母亲的影响，波莉安娜渴望尽自己最大的努力帮助别人)”和第二段中“Three years later after her mother’s passing away, Pollyanna decided to return from the big city to start a free boarding school in her hometown, a poor mountain village, to help kids who couldn’t afford to go to school.(在她母亲去世三年后，波莉安娜决定从大城市回到家乡，在一个贫穷的山村开办一所免费寄宿学校，帮助那些上不起学的孩子)”可知，波利安娜建立免费的寄宿学校是受母亲的影响，她母亲给她树立了榜样。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。结合常识和划线词所在句“According to her, a boarding school could not only address the transport difficulties but also ensure a safe learning environment for children there.(据她说，寄宿学校不仅可以address交通难题，还可以确保孩子们有一个安全的学习环境)”中“the transport difficulties”可推知，读寄宿学校的学生不需要每天在学校和家之间往返，也就解决了交通难题，故address与solve同义，意为“解决”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Despite the many difficulties in Pollyanna’ journey, she remains determined not to give up.(尽管在波利安娜的办学历程中遇到了许多困难，但她仍然决心不放弃)”可知，波利安娜不会放弃，会继续留在这里教书。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In 2018, Pollyanna, a former reporter, was sad by the death of her mother. “My mother’s loss was terrible to me and she had always been my spiritual anchor.” Her mother focused on helping poor children and held a firm belief that education had the changing power of a person’s life. Influenced by her mother, Pollyanna was eager to do her best to help others.(2018年，曾是记者的波莉安娜因母亲的去世而悲伤。“我母亲的去世对我来说很可怕，她一直是我的精神支柱。”她的母亲专注于帮助贫困儿童，并坚信教育能改变一个人的生活。受母亲的影响，波莉安娜渴望尽自己最大的努力帮助别人)”、第二段中“Three years later after her mother’s passing away, Pollyanna decided to return from the big city to start a free boarding school in her hometown, a poor mountain village, to help kids who couldn’t afford to go to school.(在她母亲去世三年后，波莉安娜决定从大城市回到家乡，在一个贫穷的山村开办一所免费寄宿学校，帮助那些上不起学的孩子)”和最后一段中“Despite the many difficulties in Pollyanna’ journey, she remains determined not to give up.(尽管在波利安娜的办学历程中遇到了许多困难，但她仍然决心不放弃)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了前记者波莉安娜回到家乡开办免费寄宿学校，帮助那些上不起学的孩子，为山区的教育做贡献的故事。故“A former reporter contributed to education in the mountains.(一位前记者为山区教育做出了贡献)”是本文主要内容。故选D项。 C Patients with memory loss will often remember songs and specific song lyrics (歌词) . Doctors will often use music and lyric recall to help individuals recover lost memories. Music and its effect on memory has been a heated debate in the scientific world, but research now has found the evidence that music can get results on the job. University of Kansas Medical Center researchers conducted an experiment where they divided 70 healthy adults, aged 60 to 83, into three groups based on their amount of musical experience: no musical training, one to nine years of music lessons and at least 10 years of musical study. The participants, who had similar fitness and education levels and were free of Alzheimer’s disease, were given several cognitive (认知的) tests: ●Those with the greatest amount of musical experience did best on these tests of mental sharpness followed by those with less musical study followed by those who never took music lessons. ●Compared to non-musicians, the individuals with a high degree of musical experience had much higher scores on the cognitive tests, including those related to visual and special memory, naming objects and the brain’s ability to adapt to new information. ●The really cool part? The benefits of musical study and training were still obvious even in participants who no longer played an instrument. Music and musical training have been shown to protect the aging brain and keep it healthy. Here’s a story about the power of music from Kimberly Hersey, whose father has Alzheimer’s: “As a family, we didn’t know what to do when our father was diagnosed (确诊) with this Alzheimer’s disease. We have been through so many stages and now he seems to just be worsening to nothing. However, the music seems to have brought back some of his brain to him!” Now, you can tell your mom that those hours of musical practice for high school band were totally worth it. 8. How does the researchers of University of Kansas Medical Center conduct their experiment? A. By definition. B. By comparison. C. By listing examples. D. By making comments. 9. The experiment found that the participants did best on these cognitive tests if ______. A. they took less musical study B. they never took music lessons C. they suffer from Alzheimer’s disease D. they are equipped with the greatest amount of musical experience 10. What does Kimberly Hersey think of the effect music has on his father? A. It is fruitless. B. It is satisfying. C. It is unclear. D. It needs further improvement. 11. What does the text mainly focus on? A. Music benefits workouts. B. Music helps lift spirits. C. Music improves memory. D. Music reduces stress and relieves anxiety. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过讲述一个试验，说明了音乐有助于病人恢复记忆。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容“University of Kansas Medical Center researchers conducted an experiment where they divided 70 healthy adults, aged 60 to 83, into three groups based on their amount of musical experience: no musical training, one to nine years of music lessons and at least 10 years of musical study. (堪萨斯大学医学中心的研究人员进行了一项实验，他们将70名年龄在60到83岁之间的健康成年人根据他们的音乐经验分成三组：没有接受过音乐训练，上过一到九年的音乐课，学习过至少10年的音乐。)”以及第五段内容“ Compared to non-musicians, the individuals with a high degree of musical experience had much higher scores on the cognitive tests, including those related to visual and special memory, naming objects and the brain’s ability to adapt to new information. (与非音乐家相比，有高度音乐经验的人在认知测试中得分更高，包括与视觉和特殊记忆、命名物体和大脑适应新信息的能力有关的测试。)”可知，研究人员通过给测试人员分组，进行对比来研究的。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容“●Those with the greatest amount of musical experience did best on these tests of mental sharpness followed by those with less musical study followed by those who never took music lessons. ( ●那些有最多音乐经验的人在心智敏锐度测试中表现最好，其次是那些音乐学习较少的人，然后是那些从未上过音乐课的人。)”可知，实验发现，拥有最丰富的音乐经验的参与者在这些认知测试中表现最好。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容““As a family, we didn’t know what to do when our father was diagnosed (确诊) with this Alzheimer’s disease. We have been through so many stages and now he seems to just be worsening to nothing. However, the music seems to have brought back some of his brain to him!” (“作为一个家庭，当我们的父亲被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病时，我们不知道该怎么办。我们经历了这么多阶段，现在他似乎只是恶化到什么都没有。然而，音乐似乎给他带回了一些大脑!”)”可知，Kimberly Hersey认为音乐对他父亲的影响是令人满意的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Patients with memory loss will often remember songs and specific song lyrics (歌词) . Doctors will often use music and lyric recall to help individuals recover lost memories. Music and its effect on memory has been a heated debate in the scientific world, but research now has found the evidence that music can get results on the job. ( 失忆患者通常会记住歌曲和特定的歌词。医生通常会用音乐和歌词来帮助人们恢复失去的记忆。音乐及其对记忆的影响一直是科学界争论的焦点，但现在的研究发现，音乐可以在这项工作中取得成果。)”并通读全文可知，文章主要集中在音乐对失忆病人的有益影响上,有助于恢复记忆。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As is known to us all, honesty has always been a traditional virtue in China. Despite the passage of time, honesty has been passed down as a mainstream value. ___12___ A famous Chinese idiom (成语) , yinuo qianjin, tells such a story. In the early Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24) , a general named Ji Bu was known for being courageous and honest. Legend has it that whenever Ji made a promise, he would make an effort to keep it. ___13___ There was a saying widely spread: It is better to have a promise from Ji Bu than to get hundreds of ounces (盎司) of gold. ___14___ During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) , Li Daquan, a successful businessman in Shanxi province, was visited by a friend who came up with a new idea. In ancient China, carrying a large amount of cash was not only a heavy burden (负担) but could also put the owner in danger. His friend proposed that a draft (汇票) be issued to replace the real cash. This draft was not only a promise to pay, but also could be cashed everywhere. Li readily agreed and kept his word. The story soon got around, and Li’s honesty brought him a flood of customers and a good business. ___15___ Such is the beginning of the Chinese banking industry. His banking business finally expanded into 35 branches across the country. Rishengchang has been preserved and turned into a museum now. In today’s China, the spirit of honesty is still well-respected. China selects national role models every year. ___16___ A. Everyone should try to be an honest person. B. Honesty is priceless and honesty also brings creativity. C. Such a virtue of honesty earned him a good popularity. D. China is a famous country that values and respects honesty. E. Li Daquan later set up China’s first draft bank, Rishengchang. F. It is also shown in countless stories throughout China’s history. G Their stories are told across the country to promote the virtue of honesty. 【答案】12. F 13. C 14. B 15. E 16. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了诚信一直是中国的传统美德。尽管时间在流逝，诚信已经作为一种主流价值观传承下来。 【12题详解】 分析设空，位于首段段尾，，应是承接上文，并引出下文，根据上文“As is known to us all, honesty has always been a traditional virtue in China. Despite the passage of time, honesty has been passed down as a mainstream value. (众所周知，诚实一直是中国的传统美德。尽管时间在流逝，诚实已经作为一种主流价值观传承下来)”以及下文举了两个中国历史上两个诚信的故事，所以F项“这也体现在中国历史上无数的故事中。”符合文意，承接上文，并引出下文。故选F项。 【13题详解】 根据前文“In the early Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), a general named Ji Bu was known for being courageous and honest. Legend has it that whenever Ji made a promise, he would spare no effort to fulfill it. (西汉初年(公元前206年-公元24年)，一位名叫季布的将军以勇敢和诚实而闻名。传说，每当季许愿时，他都会不遗余力地去实现它)”以及后文“There was a saying widely spread: It is better to have a promise from Ji Bu than to get hundreds of ounces of gold. (有句谚语流传甚：与其得到几百盎司的黄金，不如得到季布的承诺)”可知，空处应是过渡句，由介绍季布的事迹，到这么做的结果，所以C项“这种诚实的美德为他赢得了良好的声望”符合文意，是前面行为的结果。故选C项。 【14题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，应是本段的中心句，根据后文“During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) , Li Daquan, a successful businessman in Shanxi province, was visited by a friend who came up with a new idea. In ancient China, carrying a large amount of cash was not only a heavy burden (负担) but could also put the owner in danger. His friend proposed that a draft (汇票) be issued to replace the real cash. This draft was not only a promise to pay, but also could be cashed everywhere. Li readily agreed and kept his word. (清代(1644-1911)，山西成功商人李大全有一个朋友来拜访他，他有了一个新主意。在中国古代，携带大量现金不仅是一种沉重的负担，而且还可能使主人处于危险之中。他的朋友建议发行一张汇票来代替真正的现金。这张汇票不仅是一种付款承诺，而且是一种保证一定数额的硬币，汇票可以在任何地方兑现的主张。李欣然同意并遵守诺言)”可知，本段主要讲述了诚信带来了创造力，所以B项“诚实是无价的，诚实也带来创造力”符合文意，是本段的中心句。故选B项。 【15题详解】 根据前文“The story soon got around, and Li’s honesty brought him a flood of customers and a good business. (这件事很快就传开了，李的诚实给他带来了大量的顾客和生意兴隆)”以及后文“Such is the beginning of the Chinese banking industry. His banking business finally expanded into 35 branches across the country. (这就是中国银行业的开端。他的银行业务最终扩展到全国35家分行。)”可知，空处应是过渡句，由李的故事过渡到中国银行业，所以E项“李大全后来成立了中国第一家汇票银行日升昌”符合文意。故选E项。 【16题详解】 根据前文“In today’s China, the spirit of honesty is still well-respected. China selects national role models every year. (在今天的中国，诚实的精神仍然备受推崇。中国每年都会评选国家榜样。)”可知，现在人们仍旧推崇诚实的精神，评选全国的榜样，因此推断G项“他们的故事在全国播出，以树立好榜样，促进诚实的美德”符合文意。承接前文，故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tony, a teenager from India, is a lover of robotics.

And sports are important in our family. Both of our sons were high —school athletes. However, I was surprised when Lauren announced she was going out for the girls’ basketball team. But she has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) . My wife and I never told Lauren that she was different. We treated her like our other children. We didn’t want her to feel disabled or different. “I’m gonna play basketball, Daddy.” Lauren ran to meet me when I returned from work. “That’s nice, honey,” I replied and patted her shoulder. I figured she meant outside—on the driveway. My wife Laura later told me “What Lauren’s trying to tell you is that she’s joining the girls’ high-school basketball team.” Just as my wife’s words stopped, I heard Lauren behind me. “I’m gonna be a Lady Tiger,” she shouted, throwing her arms in the air. I discussed Lauren’s announcement with my wife that evening. “Maybe she won’t make the team,” I offered. “Everybody makes the team, Johnny,” she whispered, “It’s Verden. There are only eleven girls, and not all of them want to play.” However, I couldn’t help worrying about Lauren. Everything that could happen flashed through my mind. Lauren’s reactions were slow. What if she got injured during practice or trying to keep up with the other players? What if the other girls on the team failed to accept her? What if an insensitive audience made fun of her? Or what if Lauren’s feelings got hurt because she spent most of her time on the bench (替补席) ? Just as my wife had said, Lauren did make the school basketball team. To relieve my anxiety, I decided to see her practice in person. The next afternoon, I parked in front of the school gymnasium. Entering the gym, I could see Lauren standing alone at the other end of the court, shooting free throws. Inside, Coach (教练) Forsythe stood on the other side of the gym. After every shot, Lauren joyfully shouted, “Woo hoo!” She didn’t seem to care if she made the basket or not. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then I talked about Lauren with the coach. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the day for the game came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then I talked about Lauren with the coach. The coach smiled warmly and reassured me, "Lauren is a valuable member of the Lady Tigers. She brings a unique spirit and determination that the other girls admire." He explained that while Lauren might not be the most skilled player, her positive attitude and enthusiasm were inspirational to her teammates. Coach Forsythe's words eased my worries, and I began to see Lauren's participation through a different lens — one that celebrated her contribution to the team in a way that transcended the game itself. Finally, the day for the game came. The gymnasium was packed with excited fans. As the game progressed, I kept searching for Lauren on the court. When she was finally brought in, the crowd erupted into applause. Lauren played with all her heart. Despite not scoring, her mere presence on the team had a profound impact on everyone present. The game ended, Lauren was lifted onto her teammates' shoulders, a symbol of unity and acceptance. That day, Lauren wasn't just a player. She was a champion, reminding us all that the true spirit of sports lies in courage, camaraderie, and the joy of participation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索，讲述了患有唐氏综合症的女儿劳伦要参加高中女子篮球队，父亲对此很担忧，后来劳伦成功加入球队，父亲与教练交流后缓解了担忧，以及比赛日劳伦在球场上的表现。 【详解】段落续写： 第一段由首句内容“然后我和教练谈论了劳伦”可知，可描写教练对劳伦的评价以及父亲的感受变化。 第二段由首句内容“最后，比赛的日子来了”可知，可描写比赛现场的情况以及劳伦的表现和她给大家带来的影响。 续写线索：与教练交谈——教练评价劳伦——父亲放心——比赛日——劳伦上场——劳伦的表现——劳伦的影响 词汇激活行为类 带来：bring / take along 欢呼：erupt into applause / shout excitedly 举起：lift / raise 情绪类 温暖地：warmly / genially 兴奋的：excited / thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型 1].

B In 2018, Pollyanna, a former reporter, was sad by the death of her mother. “My mother’s loss was terrible to me and she had always been my spiritual anchor.” Her mother focused on helping poor children and held a firm belief that education had the changing power of a person’s life. Influenced by her mother, Pollyanna was eager to do her best to help others. Three years later after her mother’s passing away, Pollyanna decided to return from the big city to start a free boarding school in her hometown, a poor mountain village, to help kids who couldn’t afford to go to school. As a local, she realized that a boarding school was the most logical and efficient way to provide access to education for children from across the region, bridging the gap in educational opportunities. “Starting a boarding school was a decision born out of necessity and a desire to make a meaningful influence on the region’s education.” According to her, a boarding school could not only address the transport difficulties but also ensure a safe learning environment for children there. Pollyanna has been mainly using her savings to support the no-charging school. Additionally, she has received support from many people who have helped to cover the cost of some students and the monthly expenses. However, there are still some problems listed by Pollyanna. Limited teachers, difficulties in construction and transportation, and bad weather conditions are the major difficulties that come in the way of her mission. “Knowledge sharing and finding similar role models in this remote region is also a challenging task. In addition, the natural conditions here are tough, making every breath an effort,” she explains. Despite the many difficulties in Pollyanna’ journey, she remains determined not to give up. “Working here makes me feel closer to my mother. I am eager to apply myself to this career.” The former reporter is now playing the role of a teacher, a caretaker and in many ways a motherly figure to these children. 4. Why did Pollyanna set up a free boarding school? A. Because she was a nature-lover. B. Because she wanted to be a teacher. C. Because her former job influenced her. D. Because her mother set an example for her. 5. What does the underlined word “address” in paragraph 3 mean? A. solve B. deliver C. change D. claim 6. What will Pollyanna do in the future? A. Take a trip to other cities. B. Improve the natural conditions. C. Continue to stay here to teach. D. Attract more people to work here. 7. What is the main idea of this text? A. A reporter will make a big difference. B. The construction of a school was difficult. C. A girl and her mother started a school together. D. A former reporter contributed to education in the mountains. C Patients with memory loss will often remember songs and specific song lyrics (歌词) . Doctors will often use music and lyric recall to help individuals recover lost memories. Music and its effect on memory has been a heated debate in the scientific world, but research now has found the evidence that music can get results on the job. University of Kansas Medical Center researchers conducted an experiment where they divided 70 healthy adults, aged 60 to 83, into three groups based on their amount of musical experience: no musical training, one to nine years of music lessons and at least 10 years of musical study. The participants, who had similar fitness and education levels and were free of Alzheimer’s disease, were given several cognitive (认知的) tests: ●Those with the greatest amount of musical experience did best on these tests of mental sharpness followed by those with less musical study followed by those who never took music lessons. ●Compared to non-musicians the individuals with a high degree of musical experience had much higher scores on the cognitive tests, including those related to visual and special memory, naming objects and the brain’s ability to adapt to new information. ●The really cool part? The benefits of musical study and training were still obvious even in participants who no longer played an instrument. Music and musical training have been shown to protect the aging brain and keep it healthy. Here’s a story about the power of music from Kimberly Hersey, whose father has Alzheimer’s: “As a family, we didn’t know what to do when our father was diagnosed (确诊) with this Alzheimer’s disease. We have been through so many stages and now he seems to just be worsening to nothing. However, the music seems to have brought back some of his brain to him!” Now, you can tell your mom that those hours of musical practice for high school band were totally worth it. 8.

And sports are important in our family. Both of our sons were high —school athletes. However, I was surprised when Lauren announced she was going out for the girls’ basketball team. But she has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) . My wife and I never told Lauren that she was different. We treated her like our other children. We didn’t want her to feel disabled or different. “I’m gonna play basketball, Daddy.” Lauren ran to meet me when I returned from work. “That’s nice, honey,” I replied and patted her shoulder. I figured she meant outside—on the driveway. My wife Laura later told me “What Lauren’s trying to tell you is that she’s joining the girls’ high-school basketball team.” Just as my wife’s words stopped, I heard Lauren behind me. “I’m gonna be a Lady Tiger,” she shouted, throwing her arms in the air. I discussed Lauren’s announcement with my wife that evening. “Maybe she won’t make the team,” I offered. “Everybody makes the team, Johnny,” she whispered, “It’s Verden. There are only eleven girls, and not all of them want to play.” However, I couldn’t help worrying about Lauren. Everything that could happen flashed through my mind. Lauren’s reactions were slow. What if she got injured during practice or trying to keep up with the other players? What if the other girls on the team failed to accept her? What if an insensitive audience made fun of her? Or what if Lauren’s feelings got hurt because she spent most of her time on the bench (替补席) ? Just as my wife had said, Lauren did make the school basketball team. To relieve my anxiety, I decided to see her practice in person. The next afternoon, I parked in front of the school gymnasium. Entering the gym, I could see Lauren standing alone at the other end of the court, shooting free throws. Inside, Coach (教练) Forsythe stood on the other side of the gym. After every shot, Lauren joyfully shouted, “Woo hoo!” She didn’t seem to care if she made the basket or not. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then I talked about Lauren with the coach. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally the day for the game came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
