They were the first people to live in New Zealand. In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins. The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive, because they have passed and are passing them on to their children. 43. When did the Maori first arrive in New Zealand? A. Around 11th century. B. Around 14th century. C. Around 16th century. D. Around 18th century. 44. What happened to the Maori during the 19th century? A. They owned more land. B. They lost their language. C. They left New Zealand. D. They had a smaller population. 45. How do the Maori keep their traditions alive? Check and choose the right answer. a．Increase the number of marae. b．Move to the center of New Zealand. c．Set up Maori radio and TV stations. d．Teach in the Maori language in many schools. e．Hold competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. A. bcde B. abcd C. abde D. acde 46. What’s the theme of the passage? A. Art. B. Culture. C. Travel. D. Technology. 47. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】43. A 44. D 45. D 46. B 47. C 【导语】本文主要讲述了毛利人从古到今的发展历程以及他们是如何保持和传承自己的文化。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian (波利尼西亚) islands about a thousand years ago.”可知，毛利人大约一千年前从波利尼西亚，今年是2024年，所以大约是1024年，即11世纪。故选A。 44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left.”可知，到19世纪末，只剩下大约4万毛利人，人口很少了。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. ”可知，现金毛利人的人口正在增加，大多数人像其他新西兰人一样生活，但他们保留了毛利语言和传统，现在有毛利人的广播电台和电视台。许多学校用毛利语教学。结合“Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year.

The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize. It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize. Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money. Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives. Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment. People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness. 48. How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2? A. By giving an example. B. By listing numbers. C. By telling the differences. D. By asking a question. 49. What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage? A. They came from the same country. B. They won the lotteries in the same year. C. They were poor before winning the lotteries. D. They spent their money quickly and carelessly. 50. What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Expensive. B. Funny. C. Surprising. D. Lucky. 51. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Big money brings lasting happiness. B. People’s lives depend on lottery prizes. C. Reasonable spending makes people happy. D. The basic needs of people are easily satisfied. 52. What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage? A. To encourage readers to make big money. B. To advise people to stay away from lotteries. C. To show his opinion about money and happiness. D. To share some success stories about finding happiness. 【答案】48. A 49. D 50. A 51. C 52. C 【导语】本文用真实的例子告诉我们金钱并不能买来快乐。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，作者通过举例子支持自己的观点，故选A。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending.”和“After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy.”可知，威廉和凯丽都是很快且没有规划地花光了钱，故选D。 【50题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes.”可知，她给家人和朋友买了……礼物，给自己买了昂贵的衣服。此处应与expensive语意相近，故选A。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care.”可知，研究人员发现，当人们能够支付自己的基本需求时，比如食物、衣服、安全的住所和医疗保健，他们就会感到快乐。选项C“合理的消费使人快乐”符合，故选C。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。本文用真实的例子告诉我们金钱并不能买来快乐，目的是为了表达他对金钱和快乐的看法。故选C。 2023年 A Come and try something new!

He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp（煤油灯）. Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar（太阳能的）light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference. 38. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Leaving school. B. Doing homework. C. Having eye problems. D. Having a bright idea. 39.

Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 48. What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Able to spread quickly. B. Able to breathe easily. C. Able to change easily. D. Able to sleep quickly. 49. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race? A. They are too tired or too bored. B. A yawn can let good things in. C. A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D. A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces. 50. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning. C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 51. What can we probably infer from the passage? A. People use different ways to yawn. B. Scientists will do further research on yawning. C. It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D. Some scientists think yawning is good for people. 52. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C.

Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn't scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart. Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say, ‘Mill, please grind (磨粉)’,” and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mil, please cease (停止) grinding’.” Soon the old couple had a much better life. They'd been happy people, and they didn't need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple's house secretly and heard, "Mill, please grind hot chocolate!" He was surprised to see it coming out. Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh，I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mil, please stop grinding! Please, no more! "His words didn't work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could. And there it's been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That's why the sea is salt. 58.The passage is probably a(n)_______. A. folk story B. instruction C. science fiction D. science report 59. Put the things happened to the mill in correct order. a. It began to produce salt. b. The young husband threw it c. The young couple stole it. d. The old coupe got it. A. b-d-a-c B. b-a-d-c C. d-a-c-b D. d-c-a-b 60.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The coffee. B. The horse. C. The mill D.The chocolate 61. How did the young husband's feelings change? A. sorry--sad--excited B. thirsty--excited--afraid C. happy--nervous--proud D. surprised--thankful--happy 62.What does the word “truth” in Paragraph 1 imply (暗指)？ A. Being patient. B. Working properly. C. Being satisfied. D. Listening carefully. 【答案】38. A 39. D 40. C 41. B 42. C 【导语】本文主要讲了一个关于海水为什么含盐的民间故事。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要讲了一个关于海水为什么含盐的故事，由此推出可能是一则民间故事。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. ... In return, he gave them a coffee mill ... Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. ... But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. ... Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”可知正确的顺序是一对老夫妻得到了它，然后年轻夫妻偷了它并让它产盐，最后年轻的丈夫扔了它（d-c-a-b）。故选D。 【40题详解】 代词指代题。根据“ ‘Mill, please grind salt!’ he said. ‘It works!’ the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. ‘Make it stop,’ the wife said.”可知是想要磨粉机停下来，it指代“the mill”。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy.”可知年轻的丈夫一开始是嫉妒的，不满足于现状，渴望过上想老夫妻一样的生活；再由“Along the way, the husband showed proudly”可知偷到磨粉机之后他是激动的；再由“Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”可知磨粉机一直产盐，让他很害怕，把磨粉机扔进了海里。感情变化是“thirsty — excited — afraid”。故选B。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didn’t need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied.”可知故事中老夫妻知足，所以生活幸福，而年轻夫妻不知足偷了磨粉机后也没能如愿，由此推出truth暗指文中的哲理，“要知足”。故选C。 C Indonesians love to celebrate.

Each kind has its own look and talents, and its own role within human society. Here are three examples of “a dog’s life” in the world. Today，many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee is a therapy(治疗) dog. She visits children who are in hospital. Dogs like shaynee help patients feel calm and at peace, which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and, some suggest, even help them get better. Today, some beagles(小猎犬) work in airports for the government. They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade. A beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose, and ability to follow smells. The Beagle Brigade’s job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They make officers notice illegal(非法的) fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail.The beagles do the job far better than any human could. While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have they own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many kinds of wild dogs playing, learning to follow, or even going to classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so. Whether as workers or objects of affection(钟情), dogs have become helpful to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dog’s special place as “man’s best friend” has allowed it to survive(存活) in a human world. 61. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A.Hospitals need many special dogs. B.Dogs can take care of patients. C.Patients need love in the hospital. D.Doctors are too busy to see patients. 62. what does the underline word “domestic” in Paragraph 5 mean? A.Trained. B.Smart. C.Hungry D.Valuable. 63. What’s the purpose of the passage? A.To ask people to treat dogs as their own children. B.To explain why humans need beagles in their work. C.To tell people about the history of dog’s development. D.To show a good relationship between dogs and humans. 64. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? 【答案】 （61）B（62）A（63）D（64）C 【解析】本文主要介绍了犬在当代人类世界中扮演的角色，并详细列举了犬的三种不同生活。第一种犬能够在医院为病人和病人家属带来慰藉和鼓励；第二种犬能够在机场为政府工作， 帮助找出行李中的非法物品；第三种犬被主人像孩子一样对待，能够无忧无虑自由玩耍，主 人也乐在其中。最后，文章进行了总结，犬对人类有诸多帮助，是人类最好的朋友，也正因 为如此，家养犬得以生存繁衍。 （61）段落大意题。第二段首句为段落主题句：现如今，很多医院让经过特殊训练的犬为 病人带去爱和鼓励。接下来详细列举的犬 Shaynee 在医院为病人带去帮助的实例，最后一 句再次点明段落主旨犬能为病人带去帮助。A 选项“医院需要许多特殊犬”文中未提及， C 选项“病人在医院需要爱”及 D 选项“医生太忙而无法看望病人”过于片面，不符合段 意。B 选项“犬能照顾病人”符合段意，故选 B. （62）词义推断题。第五段第三句：“许多野狗在地球上已几乎灭绝。但是，domestic dog 作为人类‘最好的朋友’得以在世界上存活下来”。从 However 得知，此句前后为转折关 系，与灭绝的“野狗”相对应的是存活下来的“训养的狗”，A.训练过的，B.聪明的，C. 饥饿的，D.有价值的。故选 A。 （63）主旨大意题。A.“为了倡导人们对待犬像对待自己的孩子一样”，文章并未倡导， 只是在第四段提到有些主人对待宠物犬像对待孩子一样这个事实。B 选项“为了解释为什 么人类在工作中需要小猎犬”，小猎犬只在文中第三段作为列举犬在人类生活中扮演的其 中一种角色时出现过，与全文主旨不符。C 选项“为了告诉人们犬的发展历史”，不符合 全文主旨。D 选项“为了展示犬和人类的友好关系”符合全文主旨，故选 D. （64）主旨题。根据全文结构，文章第一段指出，犬在人类生活中扮演着不同角色；第二、 三、四段详细列举了犬在人类生活中扮演的三种不同的角色；最后一段点明主旨，犬对人 类有多种帮助，是人类的好朋友。故为总分总结构，选 C. D Eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 7 meters high. At its base（基座）was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move. The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him “the father of modern-day engineering”. We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. ____ They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works. Many everyday things today-from toys to car engines(发动机）—still use al-Jazari’s ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots. Today,it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant clock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again. How Dose the Elephant Clock Work? Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound. The ball then drops out of a falcon’s mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragon’s head to move down, and the dragon’s tail pulls the water bowl back up. Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon’s mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more balls in the top of the clock. 65. Why is al-Jazari called “the father of modern-day engineering”? A. His ideas are still widely used in machines. B. The elephant clock is an amazing invention. C. His inventions include some parts of modern robots. D. His book about machines is still popular with readers 66. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “___ ”in paragraph 3. A. He became famous when he was a young man. B. He invented a lot of everyday machines in history. C. It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes. D. People in Turkey enjoy reading his books in their free time. 67. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 7 refer to? A. The pen moves. B.The ball drops. C. The bowl sinks completely D.The bowl pulls the ropes. 68. How does the elephant clock work? Put the steps in the correct order. a. The ball drops into vase. b. The ball drops into dragon’s mouth. c. The elephant driver moves and makes a sound. d. After 30 minutes, a ball starts to fall from the top. e. The bowl moves down in the water and pulls on ropes. A. b-d-a-c-e B. e-d-b-a-c C.a-c-b-d-c D.c-a-d-e-b 【答案】：ACCB 65. A. 本题为段落理解题，根据段落之间的衔接含义找答案。第二段指出 al-Jazri 是世界上 最有名的工程师之一，连接到第三段第一句话指出我们大多数人认识他是因为他的书，但其 实他有很多日常生活中的发明，并且根据第四段最后一句话没有他的发明，我们就不会有现 代日常机器的出现。可得出答案 A 66. C 本题为段落理解题，根据横线后的 clocks and hand-washing machines 表明横线处应该 填 al-Jazri 有很多不同类型的机器，包括了这些。故答案选 C 67. C. 本题为词义猜测题。根据 This 前水箱装满并完全下沉后，指的是水箱完全下沉后才 让凤凰开始移动。所以得出答案 C 68. B. 本题考察行文顺序理解，根据第六段第二句话，水箱下沉后，会拉动绳子，可得出第 一步为选项 e,则可直接得出答案 B。 E Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic(基因的), while their personalities, intelligence, and other differences between them are an effect of their environment. Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries (界限) between genes and environment are not so clear. Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted as babies and raised by different couples. When the Jims finally met at age 39, they discovered they had plenty in common. Both were six feet tall, 180 pounds. They had the same smile and the same voice. When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr. invited the Jim twins to his lab, people there found it very hard to tell them apart. But the similarities didn’t stop at the physical. They both had dogs named Toy. They had both married woman named Linda, and then their marriage broke up. They’d both been policemen, enjoyed music, and left love notes around the house for their wives. They had so much in common, it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences(巧合). The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard tested. When they compared the twins’ IQ scores, Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion( 结 论 ). They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education. It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect. However, genes can’t control everything, argues geneticist Danielle Reed, who also studies twins. Reed’s research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA, environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves, making even identical twins into very different people. “What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen,” she explains. “Things written in pen you can’t change. That’s DNA. But things written in pencil you can.” 69. How many physical similarities between the Jim twins are mentioned? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 70. What did Bouchard’s study find about the twins? A. Each seemed to be as tall as their twin. B. Each had the same hobby as their twins. C. Each had almost the same ability as their twin. D. Each had about the same IQ level as their twin. 71. What is Reed’s opinion about genes and environment? A. Only DNA had an effect on our development. B. Environment could possibly change some things about us. C. There are so boundaries between genes and environment. D. Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA. 72. What is the passage mainly about? A. The way the DNA behaves. B.

He was just 23 years old—and he built the plane himself. How did he achieve this?       Irving's interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents' bookstore in Miami, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot, Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn't think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving's life.      Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home, he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for flight school.      At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn't finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.      Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted (顽强地坚持) in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $300,000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his airplane was ready to fly.      On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days—with 145 hours in the air—he landed back in Miami. A cheering crowd of people was there to welcome him.      Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect (影响) on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.      "Everyone told me what I couldn't do," says Irving. "They said I was too young, that I didn't have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream," he says, "you have to pursue (追求) it." 64. Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving's life? A. He got Irving interested in flying. B. He sent Irving to a flight school. C. He helped Irving build a plane. D. He taught Irving how to fly. 65. Put the events about Irving in the correct order. a. Irving got the parts for his plane. b. Irving flew around the world, c. Irving met Gary Robinson. d. Irving learned to fly. A. c-d-a-b          B. c-a-d-b C. b-c-a-d          D. b-c-d-a 66. What can we know about Irving personality according to the passage? A. Clever and honest. B. Humorous and responsible. C. Polite and powerful. D. Hard-working and persistent. 67. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Becoming a Pilot. B. Life in Flight School. C. Achieving a Dream.  D. Building Your Own Plane. 【答案】AADC 【解析】本文介绍了Irving由于一个机缘巧合的机会，接触了飞行，从此就有一个飞翔的梦想，随后通过打工挣钱上飞行学校学会了开飞机。之后收集飞机零部件开始建造飞机，最终实现了开飞机环游世界的梦想。 64. 细节理解题。根据题干关键词Gary Robinson定位至文章第二段。根据Irving's interest in flying started when he was 15....He showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving's life.可知是Gary Robinson让Irving对飞翔产生了兴趣。故选A项。 65. 排列顺序题。纵观全文可知从第二段开始，文章按照时间顺序来介绍Irving是如何实现飞翔梦的。根据第二段可知Irving先遇见了Gary Robinson，从而对飞翔产生了兴趣，故c情节最先发生。之后根据第四段“At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly.”可知他去飞行学校学习如何开飞机，故接下来是d情节。根据第四段“Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.”可知接下来他先收集飞机零部件建造一架飞机之后，去环游世界，故接下来是a项，最后是b项。故选A。 66. 推理判断题。根据第三段“To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs.”可推知他很用功；根据第四段“Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted (顽强地坚持) in asking.”可推知他很有毅力。故选D。 67. 标题概括题。A选项意为“成为一名飞行员。”；B选项意为“飞行学校的生活。”；C选项意为“实现梦想。”；D选项意为“建造你自己的飞机。”。纵观全文，Irving从小就有一个开飞机的梦想，之后经过努力终于实现了自己的梦想。故C项最能概括全文。其他选项无法概括全文。 C      Some people ski(滑雪) down mountains. Others climb huge rocks or photograph dangerous animals. Why do people enjoy risky activities like these?      Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good. Psychologist(心理学家) Marvin says that this kind of explorers (探险者) are always looking for change and excitement. When people do something new or risky, a chemical(化学物质) in the brain creates a pleasant feeling. They love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.     Other people don’t take risks for the feeling of excitement but to achieve a goal. For example, Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000-mile special journey in central Africa. He worked to help save the wildlife there. Fay’s expeditions helped create 13 national parks.      For other people, such as extreme athletes(极限运动员), taking risks is part of their job. Sports psychologist Shane says extreme athletes see the world differently. In a dangerous activity, most people probably do not feel in control. Extreme athletes are different: they feel in control in dangerous situations. The danger can even help them. For example, skier Daron Rahlves says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed. Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers. However, we still take risks in our life. Some of us take social risks, such as speaking in front of a large group of people. Sometimes, we take financial risks, such as buying a house. And sometimes we take career risks, such as leaving a job or starting a business. Most people take risks in some areas of life, but not in others. What kind of risk-taker are you? 68. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The brain.                B. Something new. C. A chemical.               D. A pleasant feeling. 69. What does the underlined word “expedition” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Much money.                    B. A journey with a special goal. C. A great idea.                     D. A plan for a dangerous journey. 70. How many kinds of extreme athletes or explorers are mentioned in the passage? A. Three.           B. Four.        C. Five.            D. Six. 71. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Mike Fay is a professional risk-taker. B. Most people don’t take risks in their daily life. C. Extreme athletes deal with danger better than others. D. Daron Rahlves takes risks mainly for change and excitement. 【答案】DBAC 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了探险者和极限运动员的种类及其从事探险活动的目的。 68. D 推理判断题。由第2段最后2句When people do something new or risky, a chemical(化学物质) in the brain creates a pleasant feeling. They love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.可知，人们在探险的时候，大脑会产生一种愉悦的感觉，他们主要是想体验这种感觉，故代词it在此指的是a pleasant feeling。故选D。 69. B 词义猜测题。由第3段第2、3句For example, Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000-mile special journey in central Africa. He worked to help save the wildlife there.可知，迈克·费伊去非洲中部旅游的目的是救助那里的野生动物，故expedition应是指一种带有目的的旅游活动。故选B。 70. A 细节理解题。由短文第2、3、4段内容可知，探险者分为两种类型，而极限运动员只有一类，一共3类人。故选A。 71. C 推理判断题。由第4段第3、4、5句In a dangerous activity, most people probably do not feel in control. Extreme athletes are different: they feel in control in dangerous situations. The danger can even help them.可知，在危险区域，极限运动员的自控能力比大部分人都强，故C项“极限运动员能比其他人更好地对付危险”叙述正确。故选C。 D How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century. As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates(心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality(虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group. The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks. Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life. In Dubai(迪拜), for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. And South Korea(韩国) is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature. 72. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?  A. Teenagers’ problem in the 21st century.    B. How much time we spend outdoors. C. Visiting your local park. D. Feeling about nature. 73. Match the countries or cities with the information and choose the right answer. ① the USA       a. Children study in the forests and do lots of activities outside. ② Dubai         b. About 13 million people visit new forests near its cities every year. ③ Switzerland     c. A new shopping mall with a large garden will be built. ④ South Korea    d. 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. A. ①-a ②-d ③-b ④-c             B. ①-d ②-c ③-a ④-b C. ①-a ②-c ③-d ④-b             D. ①-d ②-c ③-b ④-a 74. What do the results of the studies show? A. More and more Canadians will live near parks. B. The maths test is difficult and makes people nervous. C. Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier. D. People’s heart rates get slower in a 3D-virtual-reality room. 75. What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage? A. Nature is more important than cities. B. Country life is healthier than city life. C. People have lived in the cities for so long. D. Nature should be part of people’s daily life. 【答案】BBCD 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要阐述了亲近自然对人的益处。短文告诉我们：以后的城市建设应该更注重自然的绿化工作。 72. B 推理判断题。由第1段第4、5、6句However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% teenagers spend time outside every day.可知，第1段主要谈论的是“青少年的户外活动时间问题”。故选B。 73. B 细节理解题。由第1段内容可知，有10%的美国青少年每天在户外活动。由第3段内容可知，迪拜人即将建造带有花园的购物中心，瑞士的学生在森林里学习、锻炼，而有一千多万韩国人去森林里游玩。故选B。 74. C 推理判断题。由第2、3段内容可知，两种实验表明：亲近大自然的人比室内的人更健康。由此可见，大自然能够让人更放松、更健康。故选C。 75. D 推理判断题。由最后一段内容可知，世界上许多国家在城市环境绿化方面的效果很好，自然生态生活使得人们更加健康，故短文最后1句So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature.指的是“现在应该重建自然环境，从而时自然环境成为人们生活中的一部分。”。故选D。 2024年江西省南昌市中考英语零模： A Blue History Museum Opening time Wednesday - Sunday:9:00-17:00 Monday and Tuesday closed (except holidays).

The 23-year-old climber is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route(竞速攀岩路线)within 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes KiromalKatibin and Veddriq Leonardo. The records of Katibin and Leonardo are 5 seconds and 4.90 seconds. People call Cao “the fastest man in China”or“Chinese Spider-Man”. According to Cao， the result of speed climbing can change every time because it's a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It's also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be perfect. Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first got into climbing,Cao was mainly doing bouldering(抱石)and lead climbing(先锋攀岩).He was doing very well. However, he got injured and had a surgery (手术)at the age of 18. He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body. It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better divide power to different parts of my body,"Cao said. In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become a thing of the past. “I'll keep trying to do better and be better,” said Cao. 58. How fast can Cao Long climb 15 meters? A.5 seconds. B.4.90 seconds. C.4.98 seconds. D.5 minutes. 59. Why did Cao Long decide to try speed climbing? A. Because he thought he was the strongest athlete. B.

Which person would you trust? According to British scientist Dean Burnett, humans are far more likely to believe information expressed confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language. “Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is a known thing,”wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine. “When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things,confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on better information, which decides the decision.” Why is this the case? As Burnett said, humans are social animals. In our ancient past, most of our information about the world came from our tribe (部落)， in other words, the people around us. So, if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying “There's a tiger coming”, believing what that person said could save our lives. On a more personal level, we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. That's how our brain works. When we are confident, it's for good reason. Therefore, we believe that when someone else is being confident, they must have good reason, too. However, we need to realize that confidently expressed information may be more persuasive(有说服力的)，but that doesn't mean it's correct. As Burnett wrote, we are living in a more and more different world. Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to“ unexpected results". 68. Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined word “hesitant”in Paragraph 1? A. Confident. B. Excited. C. Active. D. Uncertain. 69.How did the writer start this passage? A. By asking a question. B. By listing the facts. C. By telling a story. D. By offering a suggestion. 70. Which of the following person will people be most likely to trust? A. The person who is from the tribe. B. The person who says “There's a tiger coming" in a hesitant voice. C. The person who tells a lie confidently. D. The person who says something true uncertainly. 71.What can be learned from this passage? A. Confidently expressed information is correct. B. We should trust every confident people without checking the facts. C. We use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. D. Confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on worse information. 72. What's the main purpose of this passage? A. To advise people to tell lies confidently. B.To ask people to live in the tribe. C. To explain why we trust people who are confident. D. To show why people make friends with confident people. 【答案】68-72 DACCC 【解析】 68.D 细节理解题。根据while 可知hesitant与前文的confidently形成对比，故选D。 69. A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话Which person would you trust?可知选A。 70.

After that, he couldn’t move his body from the shoulders down. Doctors told him that he’d probably never walk again, but Ed didn’t want to believe this. He had recently got engaged (订婚) to the woman who is now his wife and he said that she was the main reason he wanted to get better. He spent six days staring at his toes (脚趾) and trying to make them move—and, finally, he succeeded! This was the start of a long journey. While in hospital, Ed met Paul, a man in his late thirties. Doctors had also told Paul he would never walk again, but Ed encouraged him not to give up and six months later, Paul told Ed he was walking with a stick. Only a year after his accident, Ed climbed the highest mountain in Wales. Since then he has also climbed a 6,500-meter mountain in Nepal and he said that after each big climb he noticed his body could do new movements. Two years later, 31-year-old Ed climbed 8,848 meters, the height of the world’s highest mountain, by going up and down his parents’ stairs 2,783 times. When he finished, he told a news reporter he had loved it although it sometimes was “painful” and “boring”. He also raised £46,000 for charity. Ed hopes his story can help people. That’s why he started his own charity, M2M, which aims to support “people facing challenges in life.” 38. Who did Ed want to get better mainly for? A. His parents. B. His doctor. C. His friend. D.

C The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian (波利尼西亚) islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand. In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins. The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive, because they have passed and are passing them on to their children. 43. When did the Maori first arrive in New Zealand? A. Around 11th century. B. Around 14th century. C. Around 16th century. D. Around 18th century. 44. What happened to the Maori during the 19th century?

Check and choose the right answer. a．Increase the number of marae. b．Move to the center of New Zealand. c．Set up Maori radio and TV stations. d．Teach in the Maori language in many schools. e．Hold competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. A. bcde B. abcd C. abde D. acde 46. What’s the theme of the passage? A. Art. B. Culture. C. Travel. D. Technology. 47. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize. It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize. Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money. Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives. Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment. People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness. 48. How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2? A. By giving an example. B. By listing numbers. C. By telling the differences. D. By asking a question. 49. What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage? A. They came from the same country. B. They won the lotteries in the same year. C. They were poor before winning the lotteries. D. They spent their money quickly and carelessly. 50. What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Expensive. B. Funny. C. Surprising. D. Lucky. 51. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Big money brings lasting happiness. B. People’s lives depend on lottery prizes. C. Reasonable spending makes people happy. D. The basic needs of people are easily satisfied. 52. What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage? A. To encourage readers to make big money. B. To advise people to stay away from lotteries. C. To show his opinion about money and happiness. D. To share some success stories about finding happiness. 2023年 A Come and try something new! Soapbox racing cars have no motors (发动机). You need a hill or a slope (斜坡) to race down.

Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar（太阳能的）light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference. 38. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Leaving school. B. Doing homework. C. Having eye problems. D. Having a bright idea. 39.

Quiet, smart and honest. C. Humorous, clever and friendly. D. Hard-working, loving and creative. C When we think of art, we probably think of painting a picture on a strong cloth or special paper, even on walls of a city. However, in many cultures people paint their faces instead. ①_________ In fact, face painting may be the very first form of art. Painting faces are in different colors and patterns. This has been part of people’s traditions for thousands of years. The way that people painted their faces can tell stories and lessons from the past. ②_________ People still paint their faces for lots of reasons. Patterns on faces connect people to a tribal (部落) family and can show who is the most important person in the family. For fighters, it is a way to make their enemies afraid. Face painting is also used in many ceremonies and special celebrations. How is face paint important in theater? Face paint was important in Japanese and Chinese ancient ceremonies. It was also used in traditional theatre to change the actors’ roles. Actors in those countries still wear white, black and red face paint today to show feelings and make the bad people look dramatic (戏剧性的) and awful. ③_________ Tribal people make face paint from the natural colors in plants and earth.

D Why do We Yawn? Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 48. What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Able to spread quickly. B. Able to breathe easily. C. Able to change easily. D. Able to sleep quickly. 49. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race? A. They are too tired or too bored. B. A yawn can let good things in. C. A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D. A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces. 50. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning. C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 51. What can we probably infer from the passage? A. People use different ways to yawn. B. Scientists will do further research on yawning. C. It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D. Some scientists think yawning is good for people. 52.

Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn't scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart. Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say, ‘Mill, please grind (磨粉)’,” and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mil, please cease (停止) grinding’.” Soon the old couple had a much better life. They'd been happy people, and they didn't need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple's house secretly and heard, "Mill, please grind hot chocolate!" He was surprised to see it coming out. Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh，I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mil, please stop grinding! Please, no more! "His words didn't work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could. And there it's been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt.

What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ②_______________ People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large,expensive,and not very useful-each disk could store just 175 KB of information!Later, floppy disks got smaller and better.But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB.You would need three or four disks just for one song, and floppy disks about22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③_______________ It's easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them.T o take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film.

Each kind has its own look and talents, and its own role within human society. Here are three examples of “a dog’s life” in the world. Today，many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee is a therapy(治疗) dog. She visits children who are in hospital. Dogs like shaynee help patients feel calm and at peace, which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and, some suggest, even help them get better. Today, some beagles(小猎犬) work in airports for the government. They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade. A beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose, and ability to follow smells. The Beagle Brigade’s job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They make officers notice illegal(非法的) fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail.The beagles do the job far better than any human could. While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have they own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many kinds of wild dogs playing, learning to follow, or even going to classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so. Whether as workers or objects of affection(钟情), dogs have become helpful to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dog’s special place as “man’s best friend” has allowed it to survive(存活) in a human world. 61.

D Eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 7 meters high. At its base（基座）was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move. The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him “the father of modern-day engineering”. We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. ____ They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works. Many everyday things today-from toys to car engines(发动机）—still use al-Jazari’s ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots. Today,it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant clock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again. How Dose the Elephant Clock Work? Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound. The ball then drops out of a falcon’s mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragon’s head to move down, and the dragon’s tail pulls the water bowl back up. Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon’s mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more balls in the top of the clock. 65. Why is al-Jazari called “the father of modern-day engineering”? A. His ideas are still widely used in machines. B. The elephant clock is an amazing invention. C. His inventions include some parts of modern robots. D. His book about machines is still popular with readers 66.

A. b-d-a-c-e B. e-d-b-a-c C.a-c-b-d-c D.c-a-d-e-b E Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic(基因的), while their personalities, intelligence, and other differences between them are an effect of their environment. Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries (界限) between genes and environment are not so clear. Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted as babies and raised by different couples. When the Jims finally met at age 39, they discovered they had plenty in common. Both were six feet tall, 180 pounds. They had the same smile and the same voice. When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr. invited the Jim twins to his lab, people there found it very hard to tell them apart. But the similarities didn’t stop at the physical. They both had dogs named Toy. They had both married woman named Linda, and then their marriage broke up. They’d both been policemen, enjoyed music, and left love notes around the house for their wives. They had so much in common, it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences(巧合). The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard tested. When they compared the twins’ IQ scores, Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion( 结 论 ). They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education. It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect. However, genes can’t control everything, argues geneticist Danielle Reed, who also studies twins. Reed’s research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA, environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves, making even identical twins into very different people. “What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen,” she explains. “Things written in pen you can’t change. That’s DNA. But things written in pencil you can.” 69. How many physical similarities between the Jim twins are mentioned? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 70. What did Bouchard’s study find about the twins? A. Each seemed to be as tall as their twin. B. Each had the same hobby as their twins. C. Each had almost the same ability as their twin. D. Each had about the same IQ level as their twin. 71. What is Reed’s opinion about genes and environment? A. Only DNA had an effect on our development. B. Environment could possibly change some things about us. C. There are so boundaries between genes and environment. D. Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA. 72. What is the passage mainly about? A. The way the DNA behaves. B. The similarities between the Jim twins. C. The connection between intelligence and families. D. The effects of genes on personality and intelligence. 2020年 A 61.

B      In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world. He was just 23 years old—and he built the plane himself. How did he achieve this?       Irving's interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents' bookstore in Miami, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot, Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn't think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving's life.      Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home, he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for flight school.      At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn't finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.      Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted (顽强地坚持) in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $300,000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his airplane was ready to fly.      On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days—with 145 hours in the air—he landed back in Miami. A cheering crowd of people was there to welcome him.      Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect (影响) on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.      "Everyone told me what I couldn't do," says Irving. "They said I was too young, that I didn't have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream," he says, "you have to pursue (追求) it." 64. Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving's life? A. He got Irving interested in flying. B. He sent Irving to a flight school. C. He helped Irving build a plane. D. He taught Irving how to fly. 65.

Polite and powerful. D. Hard-working and persistent. 67. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Becoming a Pilot. B. Life in Flight School. C. Achieving a Dream.  D. Building Your Own Plane. C      Some people ski(滑雪) down mountains. Others climb huge rocks or photograph dangerous animals. Why do people enjoy risky activities like these?      Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good. Psychologist(心理学家) Marvin says that this kind of explorers (探险者) are always looking for change and excitement. When people do something new or risky, a chemical(化学物质) in the brain creates a pleasant feeling. They love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.     Other people don’t take risks for the feeling of excitement but to achieve a goal. For example, Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000-mile special journey in central Africa. He worked to help save the wildlife there. Fay’s expeditions helped create 13 national parks.      For other people, such as extreme athletes(极限运动员), taking risks is part of their job. Sports psychologist Shane says extreme athletes see the world differently. In a dangerous activity, most people probably do not feel in control. Extreme athletes are different: they feel in control in dangerous situations. The danger can even help them. For example, skier Daron Rahlves says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed. Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers. However, we still take risks in our life. Some of us take social risks, such as speaking in front of a large group of people. Sometimes, we take financial risks, such as buying a house. And sometimes we take career risks, such as leaving a job or starting a business. Most people take risks in some areas of life, but not in others. What kind of risk-taker are you? 68. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The brain.                B. Something new. C. A chemical.               D. A pleasant feeling. 69. What does the underlined word “expedition” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Much money.                    B. A journey with a special goal. C. A great idea.                     D. A plan for a dangerous journey. 70. How many kinds of extreme athletes or explorers are mentioned in the passage? A. Three.           B. Four.        C. Five.            D. Six. 71. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Mike Fay is a professional risk-taker. B. Most people don’t take risks in their daily life. C. Extreme athletes deal with danger better than others. D. Daron Rahlves takes risks mainly for change and excitement. D How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century. As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates(心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality(虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group. The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks. Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life. In Dubai(迪拜), for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. And South Korea(韩国) is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature. 72. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?  A. Teenagers’ problem in the 21st century.    B. How much time we spend outdoors. C. Visiting your local park. D. Feeling about nature. 73. Match the countries or cities with the information and choose the right answer. ① the USA       a. Children study in the forests and do lots of activities outside. ② Dubai         b. About 13 million people visit new forests near its cities every year. ③ Switzerland     c.

The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds. The 23-year-old climber is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route(竞速攀岩路线)within 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes KiromalKatibin and Veddriq Leonardo. The records of Katibin and Leonardo are 5 seconds and 4.90 seconds. People call Cao “the fastest man in China”or“Chinese Spider-Man”. According to Cao， the result of speed climbing can change every time because it's a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It's also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be perfect. Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first got into climbing,Cao was mainly doing bouldering(抱石)and lead climbing(先锋攀岩).He was doing very well. However, he got injured and had a surgery (手术)at the age of 18. He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body. It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better divide power to different parts of my body,"Cao said. In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become a thing of the past. “I'll keep trying to do better and be better,” said Cao. 58. How fast can Cao Long climb 15 meters? A.5 seconds.

TimeOut, the magazine that has been hosting this event for six years， considers sides like community projects, green spaces, and lively streets. At the top of the list is Laureles from Colombia. There's a famous street called La 70 where all the bars and restaurants turn into dance floors when the right music plays. It also has a big soccer gym. You might think this community is quite noisy. But in fact, Laureles is known for being a relaxing neighbor- La 7o and many cafes. hood. Outside of La 70， you can find peaceful parks, streets with lots of trees If Laureles is a mix of both noise and peace, then Sheung Wan(上环)inHong Kong,China, is the perfect mix of the past and the present. Once known for its funeral services(丧葬服务)，Sheung Wan has become an exciting place. You'll find old temples and dried seafood shops there. And right beside them, there are cool art galleries (画廊)，Melbourne-style cafes and stores for designer clothes. Here, you'll see citywalkers hanging out with their pets in cafes， and older people visiting cheap markets. As seen in Laureles and Sheung Wan， in 2023，our communities are becoming more global than ever. There's a rise in culture centers with many uses, new community spaces, and cafes. How- ever, with all these changes, our neighborhoods still feel like home because places like old farmers' markets and stores remain. Looking ahead, we expect even more exciting neighborhoods! 63.

D.Sheung Wan has become an exciting place. 67. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(P=paragraph) D Science shows why we trust people who are confident. Imagine this: one person tells a lie confidently, while another says something true in a hesitant voice. Which person would you trust? According to British scientist Dean Burnett, humans are far more likely to believe information expressed confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language. “Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is a known thing,”wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine. “When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things,confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on better information, which decides the decision.” Why is this the case? As Burnett said, humans are social animals. In our ancient past, most of our information about the world came from our tribe (部落)， in other words, the people around us. So, if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying “There's a tiger coming”, believing what that person said could save our lives. On a more personal level, we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. That's how our brain works. When we are confident, it's for good reason. Therefore, we believe that when someone else is being confident, they must have good reason, too. However, we need to realize that confidently expressed information may be more persuasive(有说服力的)，but that doesn't mean it's correct. As Burnett wrote, we are living in a more and more different world. Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to“ unexpected results". 68. Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined word “hesitant”in Paragraph 1? A. Confident. B. Excited. C. Active. D. Uncertain. 69.How did the writer start this passage? A. By asking a question. B. By listing the facts. C. By telling a story. D. By offering a suggestion. 70. Which of the following person will people be most likely to trust? A. The person who is from the tribe. B. The person who says “There's a tiger coming" in a hesitant voice. C. The person who tells a lie confidently. D. The person who says something true uncertainly. 71.What can be learned from this passage? A. Confidently expressed information is correct. B. We should trust every confident people without checking the facts. C. We use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. D. Confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on worse information. 72. What's the main purpose of this passage? A. To advise people to tell lies confidently. B.To ask people to live in the tribe. C. To explain why we trust people who are confident. D. To show why people make friends with confident people. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
