The first you should consider when choosing a home security system is how long the monitoring record can be saved. Others to be considered include: Would you prefer to install the system by yourself or by a professional? What do you want to be able to do with your system? How much will you pay? These questions will help you determine which system is right for you. Ring is a good DIY option, though it also offers professional installing. It is built around a comprehensive, easy-to-use app and good-quality cameras. Apart from reliable self-monitoring option, additional functions like Neighhors Alerts are icing on the cake. Vivint has much to recommend it, including greal outdoor cameras and easy-to-use apps. It also offers excellent professional installation by trained installers. What makes it stand out among the list is its entry sensors, proving accurate and reliable throughout our testing. ADT has systems that are built around excellent indoor and outdoor cameras. It has smart lights, locks and voice assistant integrations. As an added bonus, the sound quality of recordings was among the sharpest and clearest of all of the systems we have tested. SimpliSafe lives up to its branding by being one of the easiest home security systems to set up. It offers smart locks, lights, built-in Wi-Fi and its cameras are very solid and generally perform well. SmashSafe app will alert police if the equipment is damaged. 21. What is the primary consideration when you choose a home security system? A. Shipping expenses B. Product suppliers. C. Record-saving duration. D. Installation position. 22. Which of the following is Vivint’s special advantage? A. Entry sensors. B. Ouidoor cameras. C. Built-in Wi-Fi. D. Professional installers. 23. Which system has the sound alert function when the equipment is unavailable? A. Ring. B. Vivint. C. ADT. D. SimpliSafe. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章主要讲的是如何选择家庭安全系统及四款相关产品的介绍。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The first you should consider when choosing a home security system is how long the monitoring record can be saved. (在选择家庭安全系统时，首先要考虑的是监控记录可以保存多长时间。)”可知选择一个家庭安全系统首先要考虑的是记录保存时间。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Vivint部分的“What makes it stand out among the list is its entry sensors, proving accurate and reliable throughout our testing.(它之所以在众多列表中脱颖而出，是因为它的入口传感器。在我们的测试中，它证明了其准确性和可靠性。)”可知Vivint的特别优势在于其入口传感器。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据SimpliSafe部分的“SmashSafe app will alert police if the equipment is damaged.(SmashSafe应用程序会在设备损坏时通知警方。)”可知SimpliSafe系统具有一项特殊功能，即当设备受损时SmashSafe应用会向警方发出警报。故选D项。 B One of the most popular therapists (治疗师) in University of Rochester (UR) smells like chips, pees outside, and doesn’t mind eating baby carrots off the ground. Sasha, a five-year-old golden dog, runs her practice out of a second-flour office in the Interfaith Chapel that she shares with her owner-Dr. Denise Yarbrough. During their office hours, which run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m, on Mondays and Fridays, the messy puppy is likely to greet you with tail wags, happy “woof”, and even her two front paws lifting. It’s this patented charm that allows Sasha to meet the needs of a crowd of students who drop in to see UR’s first and most accessible therapy dog in residence. But the path to her puppy Ph.D still called for three rounds of training. First was a two-week residential camp on the essentials — sit, stay, come, heel, ete. There her natural fondness for “people pleasing” revealed itself on her very first day! That training was followed by the eight- week Canine Good Citizen program, where she learned how to stay calm in crowds, to resist reacting to other dogs, and to be comfortable with Yarbrough leaving her side. A five-week therapy dog specific course was the last step in her journey. There she studied approaching people with mobility aids like wheelchairs, tolerating loud noises, and the importance of the “leave it!” command, among other things. Sasha passed the therapy dog exams at nine months old but couldn’t get certificated until she was one year old. The pandemic postponed her on-campus arrival, but Yarbrough did eventually get to bring her to work, and students consequently fell in love, “I have this constant stream of students, and obviously this is meeting a need.” Yarbrough said. “This is the third year we’re doing this, and she does get a pretty steady stream of friends coming in on the days that she’s here.” Since then, Sasha’s role in the community has ballooned. 24 What do we know about Sasha from the first paragraph? A. She works six hours every day. B. She goes to the office as Dr.Yarbrough’s pet. C. She attracts students with improper behaviour. D. She works by actively interacting with students. 25. What inborn nature did Sasha show in the training? A. The resisting reaction. B. Ability to aid the disabled. C. Fondness for people pleasing. D. Obeying the commands precisely. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The popularity of Sasha. B. The expectation of Yarbrough. C. The hardship of Sasha’s work. D. The feedback of the community. 27. What is the writing purpose of this text? A. To present puppy training strategies. B. To introduce a special campus therapist. C. To launch an appeal for animal conservation. D. To highlight the significance of pets’company. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了罗切斯特大学小狗治疗犬萨沙成长的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“During their office hours, which run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m, on Mondays and Fridays, the messy puppy is likely to greet you with tail wags, happy “woof”, and even her two front paws lifting. It’s this patented charm that allows Sasha to meet the needs of a crowd of students who drop in to see UR’s first and most accessible therapy dog in residence.(在他们周一和周五从早上11点到下午5点的办公时间里，这只邋遢的小狗可能会摇尾巴，开心地“汪汪”地叫，甚至抬起两只前爪来迎接你。正是这种有专利权的魅力，让萨沙满足了一群学生的需求，他们来这里看罗切斯特大学的第一只也是最容易接近的治疗犬。)”可知，萨沙是通过积极与学生互动来工作的。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“There her natural fondness for“people pleasing” revealed itself on her very first day! (在那里，她天生就喜欢“取悦别人”的特质第一天就显露出来了！)”可知，萨沙在训练中展现出了天生喜欢取悦人的特质，故选C项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段““This is the third year we’re doing this, and she does get a pretty steady stream of friends coming in on the days that she’s here.” Since then, Sasha’s role in the community has ballooned. (“这是我们第三年这样做了，她在这里的日子里确实有相当稳定的朋友流。”从那以后，萨沙在社区中的角色越来越重要。)”以及最后一段的其他内容可知这一段主要讲述了莎莎的受欢迎程度。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“One of the most popular therapists in University of Rochester (UR) smells like chips, pees outside, and doesn’t mind eating baby carrots off the ground.(罗切斯特大学最受欢迎的治疗师之一闻起来像薯条，在外面撒尿，而且不介意吃掉在地上的小胡萝卜)”以及第二段“But the path to her puppy Ph.D still called for three rounds of training.(但是她成为小狗博士的路径仍然需要三轮训练。)”以及文章最后一句“Since then, Sasha’s role in the community has ballooned.(从那时起，萨沙在社区中的角色越来越重要。)”可知文章介绍了罗彻斯特大学的一位特殊治疗师——一只名为萨沙的金毛犬，她通过训练成为了一位治疗犬，并深受学生们的喜爱。因此，文章的写作目的是介绍这位特殊的校园治疗师。故选B项。 C I was an environmental educator, tasked with instilling nature consciousness in young minds. My boss gave me standards for my nature hikes: “Educate students about river pollution”,“Inform students of regional endangered species”, or “Equip students to understand recycling.” While I did my best to engage with my tag-alongs, and give them an outdoor adventure, I noticed a disturbing tend — when the kids talked about their own relationships with nature, they were full of guilt and fear. Through the continuous stream of information now available in the modern age, the kids’ young minds were filled with the knowledge of deforestation, forest fires, extinct species, polluted waterways, and celebrities telling them to “do better”. Well-meaning but heavy-handed programs laid these big, scary problems at their feet, and then offered little help for tiny hands. After participating in classes like this for years, I can confidently report that the result of such teaching was often little more than helplessness, and continued disconnection from nature . Rather than scaring kids, we need to use fun, adventure, discovery, and locally connected efforts to truly educate children about their world. I’ d like to advocate different approaches: Making creative art projects with things that can be found in nature or in daily life to show them the importance of conserving resources, creating a model ocean to teach them about ocean oil spills (泄漏) and pollution: gardening with them and teaching them about how plants grow so as to give them experience with taking care of nature, taking them to a zoo, farm, beach, or forest to see different types of animals. While it’s important that we all collectively help raise today’s children to be tomorrow’s environimental advocates, it deserves more attention to how to raise an environmentally conscious child to care about the environment without guilt or fear. 28. What does the underlined word “tag-alongs” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Hikes B. Surveys. C. Colleagues. D. Students. 29. Why did kids feel guilty and fearful? A. They lacked knowledge of climate change. B. Regional species were endangered or dangerous. C. Real information on the environment was inaccessible. D. They were burdened with enormous negative eco issues. 30. What is the author’s attitude towards the present envirommental education? A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 31. Which of the following approaches is advocated by the author? A. Making crafts out of empty tissue boxes. B. Reading the books about resource recycling. C. Lecturing students on ocean spills and pollution. D. Watching videos about plant growing in the classroom. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要指出了对孩子们进行环保教育的误区及改进的方式。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“My boss gave me standards for my nature hikes: “Educate students about river pollution”, “Inform students of regional endangered species”, or “Equip students to understand recycling.”(老板给我的自然远足设定了标准:“让学生了解河流污染”、“让学生了解地区濒危物种”或“让学生了解回收利用”。)”可知，“我”是一名环境教育工作者，负责向年轻人灌输自然意识，所以是“我”尽力与学生互动，并给他们一次户外冒险的机会。故划线词意思是“学生”。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Through the continuous stream of information now available in the modern age, the kids’ young minds were filled with the knowledge of deforestation, forest fires, extinct species, polluted waterways, and celebrities telling them to “do better”.(通过现代社会源源不断的信息，孩子们年轻的头脑里充满了关于森林砍伐、森林火灾、灭绝的物种、被污染的水道以及名人告诉他们“做得更好”的知识)”可知，孩子们会感到内疚和恐惧是因为他们被巨大的负面生态问题所困扰。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“After participating in classes like this for years, I can confidently report that the result of such teaching was often little more than helplessness, and continued disconnection from nature. (经过多年参与这样的课程，我可以自信地报告说，这种教学的结果往往只是无助感，以及与自然的持续脱节)”可知，作者对现有的环保教育持批评态度。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I’ d like to advocate different approaches: Making creative art projects with things that can be found in nature or in daily life to show them the importance of conserving resources, creating a model ocean to teach them about ocean oil spills (泄漏) and pollution: gardening with them and teaching them about how plants grow so as to give them experience with taking care of nature, taking them to a zoo, farm, beach, or forest to see different types of animals.(我想提倡不同的方法：用自然界或日常生活中可以找到的东西做创意艺术项目，向他们展示保护资源的重要性；创造一个海洋模型，教他们海洋漏油和污染；和他们一起园艺，教他们植物是如何生长的，给他们照顾自然的经验；带他们去动物园，农场，海滩或森林看不同类型的动物)”可知，选项A 中的“用空纸巾盒制作工艺品”符合这一描述，是作者提倡的方法。故选A项。 D In the beginning, there was nothing. The vastness of an unborn galaxy was marked by the absence of sound, light and substance. Empty music stood on an empty stage. Then the universe began to form when colors and shapes began to dance across what we would soon come to call the sky, the stars and the planets. Sounds of an orchestra began to play, colorful and clean. Gustay Holst’s “The Planets, Op. 32”, to put simply, is a magical piece of music. Written between 1914 and 1916, the suite has built a strong legacy. As explained by conductor Peter Bay, Holst found inspiration from a topic that has twisted the human mind for centuries. It cannot be argued how deeply our understanding of the planets has shaped our aesthetics and culture — and Holst takes full creative liberty with this insight. Each movement proved spectacular. “Clouds” combines a solemn tone with that of peaceful permanence, while “Festivals” follows with blooming joy and loud confidence. “Sirens” features the chorus, with their fascinating calls over the ebb and flow (起伏) of the orchestra itself. Different sections make for an impressive playing and listening experience. The main event of the evening, to no surprise, proved an excellent journey across the planets that we find so familiar, bringing each to life with persistence and passion. In a world so focused on the digital, it is often easy to forget the power of live performance, particularly that of orchestral music. Yet, the richness and energy that flowed throughout the hall again proved the power of this art form and how fascinating collective sound can be. 32. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. The setting of the stage. B. The origin of the galaxy. C. The formation of the universe. D. The technique of the orchestra. 33. How does the author develop the writing in paragraph 3? A. By listing examples. B. By analyzing models. C. By comparing theories. D. By presenting arguments. 34. Why does the author mention the digital in the last paragraph? A. To praise its integration with music. B. To reveal the appeal of the live show. C. To show the importance of technology. D. To emphasize its harm to concentration. 35. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. A Musical Journey across the Galaxy. B. A Magical Exploration of the Universe. C. A Powerful Piece of Music on the Planets. D. A Creative Musician with Space Inspiration. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章描述了古斯塔夫·霍尔斯特的作品《行星组曲》被称为奇妙的音乐，深受人们喜爱。作者强调了现场演出的力量，以及管弦乐带来的丰富能量和震撼性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“In the beginning, there was nothing. The vastness of an unborn galaxy was marked by the absence of sound, light and substance. Empty music stood on an empty stage. Then the universe began to form when colors and shapes began to dance across what we would soon come to call the sky, the stars and the planets. Sounds of an orchestra began to play, colorful and clean. (一开始，什么都没有。一个未出生的星系的浩瀚是以没有声音、光和物质为特征的。空荡的舞台上放着空荡的音乐。然后，当颜色和形状开始在我们后来称之为天空、恒星和行星的地方跳舞时，宇宙开始形成。管弦乐队的声音开始演奏，丰富多彩，干净。)”可知，作者在文章开头描述了舞台的设置。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Each movement proved spectacular. “Clouds” combines a solemn tone with that of peaceful permanence, while “Festivals” follows with blooming joy and loud confidence. “Sirens” features the chorus, with their fascinating calls over the ebb and flow (起伏) of the orchestra itself. Different sections make for an impressive playing and listening experience. (每一个动作都很壮观。《云》将庄严的基调与平和的永恒相结合，而《节日》则以绽放的喜悦和响亮的自信紧随其后。“塞壬”的特点是合唱，他们迷人的呼唤在乐团本身的潮起潮落。不同的部分使令人印象深刻的演奏和聆听体验。)”可知，作者通过列举每个乐章的特点来展开描述，因此是通过举例的方式进行写作的。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The main event of the evening, to no surprise, proved an excellent journey across the planets that we find so familiar, bringing each to life with persistence and passion. In a world so focused on the digital, it is often easy to forget the power of live performance, particularly that of orchestral music. Yet, the richness and energy that flowed throughout the hall again proved the power of this art form and how fascinating collective sound can be. (不出所料，当晚的主要活动证明了一场精彩的行星之旅，我们发现这些行星是如此熟悉，让每个行星都充满了坚持和激情。在一个如此专注于数字的世界里，人们往往很容易忘记现场表演的力量，尤其是管弦乐的力量。然而，在整个大厅里流动的丰富和能量再次证明了这种艺术形式的力量，以及集体声音是多么迷人。)”可知，作者提到数字技术是为了与现场表演形成对比，凸显出现场演出的魅力和集体声音的感染力，揭示现场表演的吸引力。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章最后一段“The main event of the evening, to no surprise, proved an excellent journey across the planets that we find so familiar, bringing each to life with persistence and passion. In a world so focused on the digital, it is often easy to forget the power of live performance, particularly that of orchestral music.

He refused to dive after the football for fear of getting his jeans dirty when we played catch. Yet I kept expecting to return to the past when I was his hero, his big brother and his best friend. It was tough facing the fact that I was no longer the center of my brother’s universe, and I worried about where I fit in his new life. I discovered the answer during Matthew’s seventh-grade year, when he attended a summer camp and I served as a volunteer. He was usually the center of attention, blowing straw wrappers at all of his friends and showing off football skills. He was the kid everybody knew and loved. It was happy for him, but I barely saw my brother the whole week. I felt being cast aside like an old shoe. I was the one who had taught Matthew how to blow the wrappers of straws off and play football. I had been with him for every major moment in his life until now, and suddenly it was as if none of that mattered. Then, on the last evening, Matthew called me as I was leaving. “Chris! We’re gonnia play football. You have to come!” I blinked in surprise. “Are you sure? Won’t embarrass you?” I asked. “It doesn’t matter. Just play.” he replied, smiling. I followed Matthew to the football field. When his cool new friends saw me, they laughed, “I thought you were getting a real player!” one of the guys shouted, eyes widening with disbelief. “He’s my brother,” was Marthew’s reply. “And he’s really good!” I wound up on the opposite team from Matthew. Still, I wanted to score a hundred touchdowns to prove to my brother that his faith in me wasn’t misplaced. Unfortunately, I never got that chance. The guys on my team simply refused to pass the ball to an older man. Exactly they wouldn’t let me anywhere near it. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That football game might have been the most frustrating one I’d ever played. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “He’s my brother! ” Matthew said proudly to all his friends. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That football game might have been the most frustrating one I’d ever played. Despite that, I ran up and down the field, doing my best to stay positive. As soon as Matthew realized what was happening, he began to stick up for me. His support made a difference when one teammate finally threw the ball in my direction. Seizing the chance, I ran with all my might. With a quick move, I got past the defender and scored a touchdown. Among the thunderous cheers, I distinctly heard Matthew’s voice. “He’s my brother!” Matthew said proudly to all his friends. The words echoed in my ears, dispelling all my disappointment. Hearing him saying that again in such a situation weighed a ton in me. Matthew ran over, his face beaming with pride, and gave me a high-five. At that moment, I realized that my brother still saw me as his hero, which hadn’t changed. From that night on, I no longer worried about losing him. Even though our relationship might change over time, I knew it would always remain strong. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的弟弟马修正步入青春期，一切都与以往不同了，他不再缠着我，他成为了别人眼中受欢迎的人，而我觉得自己像是被抛弃了，然而，我一直期待着回到过去。在一次我作为志愿者的夏令营活动中马修提出要我和他一同去参加足球比赛，他对别人说我很棒，我也想要趁此机会证明自己，但是没有人给我机会，比赛令人失望极了，但是我一直非常乐观，而马修也开始支持我，最终在马修和队友的积极配合下，我抓住机会触地得分，马修告诉别人我是他哥哥，那一刻我意识到马修仍然把我当作他的英雄，这一点没有改变。从那天晚上起，我不再担心会失去他，尽管我们的关系可能会随着时间的推移而改变。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那场足球比赛可能是我参加过的最令人沮丧的比赛。”可知，第一段可描写虽然球赛非常的令人沮丧，但是我依旧保持积极的态度，而马修也开始支持我以及我最终触地得分的经过及马修的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容““他是我哥哥!”马修自豪地对他所有的朋友说。”可知，第二段可描写听到马修的话后作者当时的感受以及对于自己和弟弟之间关系的新的认识及内心的欣慰与释然。 2.续写线索：坚持不放弃——马修和队友积极配合——抓住机会——触地得分——得到弟弟认可时的感受——对二人关系的新认识——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住机会：seize the chance/grab the chance/ grasp the chance ②意识到：realise/come to realise/learn ③消除，驱散：dispell/eliminate/remove/clear up 情绪类 ①乐观的：positive/optimistic/rosy ②自豪地：proudly/with pride ③担心：worry about/be worried about/fret one’s gizzard 【点睛】【高分句型1】As soon as Matthew realized what was happening, he began to stick up for me.(运用了as soon as引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Matthew ran over, his face beaming with pride, and gave me a high-five.

During their office hours, which run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m, on Mondays and Fridays, the messy puppy is likely to greet you with tail wags, happy “woof”, and even her two front paws lifting. It’s this patented charm that allows Sasha to meet the needs of a crowd of students who drop in to see UR’s first and most accessible therapy dog in residence. But the path to her puppy Ph.D still called for three rounds of training. First was a two-week residential camp on the essentials — sit, stay, come, heel, ete. There her natural fondness for “people pleasing” revealed itself on her very first day! That training was followed by the eight- week Canine Good Citizen program, where she learned how to stay calm in crowds, to resist reacting to other dogs, and to be comfortable with Yarbrough leaving her side. A five-week therapy dog specific course was the last step in her journey. There she studied approaching people with mobility aids like wheelchairs, tolerating loud noises, and the importance of the “leave it!” command, among other things. Sasha passed the therapy dog exams at nine months old but couldn’t get certificated until she was one year old. The pandemic postponed her on-campus arrival, but Yarbrough did eventually get to bring her to work, and students consequently fell in love, “I have this constant stream of students, and obviously this is meeting a need.” Yarbrough said. “This is the third year we’re doing this, and she does get a pretty steady stream of friends coming in on the days that she’s here.” Since then, Sasha’s role in the community has ballooned. 24. What do we know about Sasha from the first paragraph? A. She works six hours every day. B. She goes to the office as Dr.Yarbrough’s pet. C. She attracts students with improper behaviour. D. She works by actively interacting with students. 25. What inborn nature did Sasha show in the training? A. The resisting reaction. B. Ability to aid the disabled. C. Fondness for people pleasing. D. Obeying the commands precisely. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The popularity of Sasha. B. The expectation of Yarbrough. C. The hardship of Sasha’s work. D. The feedback of the community. 27. What is the writing purpose of this text? A. To present puppy training strategies. B. To introduce a special campus therapist. C To launch an appeal for animal conservation. D. To highlight the significance of pets’company. C I was an environmental educator tasked with instilling nature consciousness in young minds. My boss gave me standards for my nature hikes: “Educate students about river pollution”,“Inform students of regional endangered species”, or “Equip students to understand recycling.” While I did my best to engage with my tag-alongs, and give them an outdoor adventure, I noticed a disturbing tend — when the kids talked about their own relationships with nature, they were full of guilt and fear. Through the continuous stream of information now available in the modern age, the kids’ young minds were filled with the knowledge of deforestation, forest fires, extinct species, polluted waterways, and celebrities telling them to “do better”. Well-meaning but heavy-handed programs laid these big, scary problems at their feet, and then offered little help for tiny hands. After participating in classes like this for years, I can confidently report that the result of such teaching was often little more than helplessness, and continued disconnection from nature . Rather than scaring kids, we need to use fun, adventure, discovery, and locally connected efforts to truly educate children about their world. I’ d like to advocate different approaches: Making creative art projects with things that can be found in nature or in daily life to show them the importance of conserving resources, creating a model ocean to teach them about ocean oil spills (泄漏) and pollution: gardening with them and teaching them about how plants grow so as to give them experience with taking care of nature, taking them to a zoo, farm, beach, or forest to see different types of animals. While it’s important that we all collectively help raise today’s children to be tomorrow’s environimental advocates, it deserves more attention to how to raise an environmentally conscious child to care about the environment without guilt or fear. 28. What does the underlined word “tag-alongs” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Hikes B. Surveys. C. Colleagues. D. Students. 29. Why did kids feel guilty and fearful? A. They lacked knowledge of climate change. B. Regional species were endangered or dangerous. C. Real information on the environment was inaccessible. D. They were burdened with enormous negative eco issues. 30. What is the author’s attitude towards the present envirommental education? A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 31. Which of the following approaches is advocated by the author? A. Making crafts out of empty tissue boxes. B. Reading the books about resource recycling. C. Lecturing students on ocean spills and pollution. D. Watching videos about plant growing in the classroom. D In the beginning, there was nothing. The vastness of an unborn galaxy was marked by the absence of sound, light and substance. Empty music stood on an empty stage. Then the universe began to form when colors and shapes began to dance across what we would soon come to call the sky, the stars and the planets. Sounds of an orchestra began to play, colorful and clean. Gustay Holst’s “The Planets, Op. 32”, to put simply, is a magical piece of music. Written between 1914 and 1916, the suite has built a strong legacy. As explained by conductor Peter Bay, Holst found inspiration from a topic that has twisted the human mind for centuries. It cannot be argued how deeply our understanding of the planets has shaped our aesthetics and culture — and Holst takes full creative liberty with this insight. Each movement proved spectacular. “Clouds” combines a solemn tone with that of peaceful permanence, while “Festivals” follows with blooming joy and loud confidence. “Sirens” features the chorus, with their fascinating calls over the ebb and flow (起伏) of the orchestra itself. Different sections make for an impressive playing and listening experience. The main event of the evening, to no surprise, proved an excellent journey across the planets that we find so familiar, bringing each to life with persistence and passion. In a world so focused on the digital, it is often easy to forget the power of live performance, particularly that of orchestral music. Yet, the richness and energy that flowed throughout the hall again proved the power of this art form and how fascinating collective sound can be. 32. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. The setting of the stage. B. The origin of the galaxy. C. The formation of the universe. D. The technique of the orchestra. 33. How does the author develop the writing in paragraph 3? A. By listing examples. B. By analyzing models. C. By comparing theories. D. By presenting arguments. 34. Why does the author mention the digital in the last paragraph? A. To praise its integration with music. B. To reveal the appeal of the live show. C. To show the importance of technology. D. To emphasize its harm to concentration. 35. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. A Musical Journey across the Galaxy. B. A Magical Exploration of the Universe. C. A Powerful Piece of Music on the Planets. D. A Creative Musician with Space Inspiration. 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Over the past year, just about every major streaming service has raised its subscription (订阅) fees.

Now everything was changing. He spent most of his time indoors talking on the phone. He refused to dive after the football for fear of getting his jeans dirty when we played catch. Yet I kept expecting to return to the past when I was his hero, his big brother and his best friend. It was tough facing the fact that I was no longer the center of my brother’s universe, and I worried about where I fit in his new life. I discovered the answer during Matthew’s seventh-grade year, when he attended a summer camp and I served as a volunteer. He was usually the center of attention, blowing straw wrappers at all of his friends and showing off football skills. He was the kid everybody knew and loved. It was happy for him, but I barely saw my brother the whole week. I felt being cast aside like an old shoe. I was the one who had taught Matthew how to blow the wrappers of straws off and play football. I had been with him for every major moment in his life until now, and suddenly it was as if none of that mattered. Then, on the last evening, Matthew called me as I was leaving. “Chris! We’re gonnia play football. You have to come!” I blinked in surprise. “Are you sure? Won’t embarrass you?” I asked. “It doesn’t matter. Just play.” he replied, smiling. I followed Matthew to the football field. When his cool new friends saw me, they laughed, “I thought you were getting a real player!” one of the guys shouted, eyes widening with disbelief. “He’s my brother,” was Marthew’s reply. “And he’s really good!” I wound up on the opposite team from Matthew. Still, I wanted to score a hundred touchdowns to prove to my brother that his faith in me wasn’t misplaced. Unfortunately, I never got that chance. The guys on my team simply refused to pass the ball to an older man. Exactly they wouldn’t let me anywhere near it. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That football game might have been the most frustrating one I’d ever played. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “He’s my brother! ” Matthew said proudly to all his friends. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
