Once, I was invited to see a performance by my friends. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
After the host made a brief introduction, the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video.” Then the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and the inability to fully extend his arms and legs, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes (义眼) and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Later, Patrick became a junior at the University of Louisville. His father attended classes with him and he made nearly all A’s. He was also a part of the marching band. He and his father did it together. They attended all the band practices and performances.
But even more than his unbelievable musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “life made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! It gave me the ability… the musical gift I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”
When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.
4. What do we know about Patrick?
A. Patrick was born with poor eyesight.
B. Patrick could dance with his fingers.
C. Patrick could sing and play the piano.
D Patrick introduced himself before the show.
5. According to the passage, Patrick’s father ________.

7. What can we learn from this passage?

C
It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reappear in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z — young people born after 1995 — are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
“Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country, ” Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age — they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
8. What does the underlined word “exotic” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Classic. B. Foreign. C. Traditional. D. Fashionable.
9. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To promote Chinese Internet industry. B. To highlight the popularity of national art.
C. To confirm the rise of new media. D. To show the popularity of New Year’s gala.
10. What do we know about Generation Z from the text?
A. They have a stronger cultural identity. B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develop rapidly. D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A confident country leads to a better future.
B. Cultural confidence is of great significance.
C. China’s new generation redefine national culture as trendy.
D. Hanfu style connects ancient fashion and modern trends.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化,而是在客观看待异域文化产品的同时,通过弘扬本土文化,对什么是潮流有不同的看法。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture (Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化,而是对推广当地文化的趋势有不同的看法)”可知,Z一代不再追随其他文化,对推广当地文化的趋势有不同的看法,与此同时,他们对于国外的文化产品有一个客观的看法。划线词的意思与local相对应,意为“外国的”。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The new tastes of Generation Z— young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent. (Z一代的新口味—1995年后出生的年轻人—在Bilibili上得到了很好的体现。在Bilibili最近举办的除夕晚会上,48小时内吸引了超过1亿人次观看,节目丰富多彩,从京剧到中国古典动画片应有尽有。电影业也是如此。去年,中国最受欢迎的十大电影首次全部是国产电影,而进口电影的票房下降到仅16.28%。)”可知,Bilibili上包含了从京剧到中国古典动画片的节目吸引了很多人观看,这些都属于本土文化,由此可推知,Bilibili是为了突出国内艺术的流行性。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status.This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future. (然而,Z一代现在有信心以平等的地位看待西方文化。这种文化自信,将使中国未来在国际舞台上的发展更加积极和富有创造性。)”可知,他们以平等的地位看待西方文化,对自己的本土文化有更强大的自信。由此可推知,他们有更强烈的文化认同感。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文以及根据第一段的“Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products. (Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化,而是在客观看待异域文化产品的同时,通过弘扬本土文化,对什么是潮流有不同的看法。)”可知,本文主要讲述了Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化,而是在客观看待异域文化产品的同时,通过弘扬本土文化,对什么是潮流有不同的看法,表现出这一代对本土文化有更强大的自信。故选C。

Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. They found out which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists are working on significant challenges it will face.
One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries(双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block out the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories.
Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions,” explains Harada.
12. Why is HWO to be built?
A. To take pictures of planets. B. To find out habitable planets.
C. To identify Earth-like planets. D. To prepare for the search for life.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The application of the telescope. B. The characteristics of studied stars.
C. The analysis of potential sun-like stars. D. The challenge of finding the right stars.
14. What challenges planet detection around binary stars?
A. The HWO telescope. B. Tightly spaced binary stars.
C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres.
15. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ intense bursts.
C. Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了美国宇航局计划在本世纪40年代发射宜居世界天文台(HWO),并对可能的目标星系进行了研究,以准备进行寻找外星生命的先进搜索。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.”(其中之一就是选择距离地球100光年以内的恒星作为望远镜的目标。加州大学伯克利分校的 Caleb Harada 和他的团队分析了164颗潜在恒星,以确定它们的特征。这些恒星可能成为有史以来研究最多的恒星之一。)可知,这一段主要讲述了寻找合适的恒星的挑战,故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see”( 如果双星靠得太近,未被遮挡的恒星发出的光就会太亮,遮住行星,使它们很难被看到)可知,双星周围的行星探测面临紧密间隔的双星的挑战。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions”(一些恒星有时也会爆发出明亮的火焰,就像太阳的耀斑一样,这并不总是致命的。但我们需要仔细检查它们是否太强,因为它们会影响生命和生活条件)可知,恒星的强烈爆发会阻止生命的形成。故选B项。

47. 读后续写
My son David was injured in his forehead so I had to take him to a hospital. I looked around the crowded waiting room in the hospital and sighed. I thought, “Will the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son soon?” I tried steadying the ice pack (冰袋) over his forehead, but it was no use. I couldn’t stop shaking. The injury in his forehead was deep, but at least blood wasn’t pouring from it anymore.
His face was full of tears, but he seemed really brave for his age. I handed him the ice pack, and he covered his forehead with it. He was doing a much better job than I had. We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at David during a break between classes as he was running around the corner. His teacher called me, and when I arrived, I found him sitting in front of her. His teacher was caring for his injury, trying to keep him calm. She felt terrible about what had happened, but I knew none of it was her fault.
David received four stitches (缝线) and didn’t cry once throughout the whole treatment. For the next two days, his forehead was swollen and black and blue. I felt like I’d had a mini nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tend to housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who’d thrown the rock. I just couldn’t shake it. What was she thinking? She should have known about that better.
David’s headmaster and teacher called me that evening to see how David was feeling and told me Cherry, the girl, felt terrible. I wanted to stand up for my son, do the right thing and protect him.
The next day, David’s teacher stopped by to see how David was feeling and dropped off a get-well card that Cherry had made. David and I read it several times, and I couldn’t help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
This card mattered a lot to us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
This card mattered a lot to us. I wanted this to be a teachable moment for David. I asked David if he was ready to forgive Cherry. After all, his opinion counted the most. He thought about it for a moment, smiled and said, “Yes.” He knew Cherry hadn’t done it on purpose. Children are so friendly and so honest. They don’t hold onto anger like adults do sometimes. Their hearts are pure, so we wrote her a letter together, reading, “We know it was an unfortunate accident. We forgive you, and we hope you forgive yourself.” We asked David’s teacher to pass the letter to Cherry.
We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter. Later, David’s teacher told us Cherry was relieved after reading our letter. She was glad that David was feeling better and healing. David and Cherry both learned that forgiving someone was a part of healing and could release anger. The next time I showed up at David’s school, Cherry gave me a big hug. I hugged her back. We didn’t have to say anything else. We both knew forgiveness was the most important step to get healed.

Once, I was invited to see a performance by my friends. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
After the host made a brief introduction, the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video.” Then the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and the inability to fully extend his arms and legs, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes (义眼) and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Later, Patrick became a junior at the University of Louisville. His father attended classes with him and he made nearly all A’s. He was also a part of the marching band. He and his father did it together. They attended all the band practices and performances.

It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reappear in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z — young people born after 1995 — are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
“Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country, ” Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age — they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
8. What does the underlined word “exotic” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Classic. B. Foreign. C. Traditional. D. Fashionable.
9. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To promote Chinese Internet industry. B. To highlight the popularity of national art.
C. To confirm the rise of new media. D. To show the popularity of New Year’s gala.
10. What do we know about Generation Z from the text?
A. They have a stronger cultural identity. B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develop rapidly. D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A confident country leads to a better future.
B. Cultural confidence is of great significance.
C. China’s new generation redefine national culture as trendy.
D. Hanfu style connects ancient fashion and modern trends.
D
Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. They found out which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists are working on significant challenges it will face.
One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries(双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block out the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories.
Out of all the stars 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions,” explains Harada.
12. Why is HWO to be built?
A. To take pictures of planets. B. To find out habitable planets.
C. To identify Earth-like planets. D. To prepare for the search for life.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The application of the telescope. B. The characteristics of studied stars.
C. The analysis of potential sun-like stars. D. The challenge of finding the right stars.
14. What challenges planet detection around binary stars?
A. The HWO telescope. B. Tightly spaced binary stars.
C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres.
15. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ intense bursts.
C. Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets.

My son David was injured in his forehead so I had to take him to a hospital. I looked around the crowded waiting room in the hospital and sighed. I thought, “Will the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son soon?” I tried steadying the ice pack (冰袋) over his forehead, but it was no use. I couldn’t stop shaking. The injury in his forehead was deep, but at least blood wasn’t pouring from it anymore.
His face was full of tears, but he seemed really brave for his age. I handed him the ice pack, and he covered his forehead with it. He was doing a much better job than I had. We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at David during a break between classes as he was running around the corner. His teacher called me, and when I arrived, I found him sitting in front of her. His teacher was caring for his injury, trying to keep him calm. She felt terrible about what had happened, but I knew none of it was her fault.
David received four stitches (缝线) and didn’t cry once throughout the whole treatment. For the next two days, his forehead was swollen and black and blue. I felt like I’d had a mini nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tend to housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who’d thrown the rock. I just couldn’t shake it. What was she thinking? She should have known about that better.
David’s headmaster and teacher called me that evening to see how David was feeling and told me Cherry, the girl, felt terrible. I wanted to stand up for my son, do the right thing and protect him.
The next day, David’s teacher stopped by to see how David was feeling and dropped off a get-well card that Cherry had made. David and I read it several times, and I couldn’t help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
This card mattered a lot to us

We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter.
