阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Most Unusual Festivals in the World
Burning Man
At the end of every summer, an artistic community comes together in the Nevada desert, the US. The community celebrates by creating artistic works, performances, and more that all can enjoy. A large wooden man, which is 105 feet tall, is burned to cap off the event. After that, the festival-goers will restore the environment to exactly as it was when they arrived
La Tomatina
The festival has run in August every year in Buñol, Spain since 1945, when a crowd took the tomatoes from a vegetable stand and started a food fight. The hour-long tomato fight used up to around 145,000 kg of tomatoes in 2015. Since 2013, La Tomatina has been a ticketed event to limit participants (参与者) to just 20,000. Before then, up to 50,000 guests had reportedly joined in the food fight.
Air Guitar World Championship
The event has been held every year in Oulu, Finland, since 1996 as part of the Oulu Music Video Festival. Participants must play air guitar on stage in two rounds with each lasting at least one minute. They must play air guitar only and are scored out of 6.0. The purpose of the event is simple: “Wars would end and all the bad things would go away if everyone just played air guitar.”
Underwater Music Festival
Located at Looe Key Reef, the US’ only living coral reef (珊瑚礁), the Underwater Music Festival has been running for 31 years. Bill Becker started the underwater music concert as a way to raise awareness for coral protection. Participants play their water-inspired music underwater through speakers. Over the years, the event has become a two-day festival that draws like-minded people from around the world.
21. What can you do at Burning Man?

As the lights dimmed (变暗淡) in the Glidden Hall on March 28, the atmosphere was filled with excitement. Among the sea of eager faces sat Marcis Bravo, a first-year graduate student working for his Masters of Music, ready for the song to begin. What followed was an unforgettable night where some of Ohio University’s music students shared the stage with the Grammy Award winners, the Indigo Girls.
For Bravo and his classmates, this was more than just a performance — it was a milestone in their musical journey and education. They lent their talents to breathe new life into the Indigo Girls’ timeless hits.
The Indigo Girls have been releasing (发行) records and touring the world for over 20 years, but more recently the two performers have started a new program — collaborating (合作) to create arrangements of their songs to perform with music students in college, stressing the importance of students getting this experience during formal studies.
“We are ecstatic to have our students interact with these wonderful touring artists that we bring to the university,” Matthew Talbert, director of the School of Music, said. “We aim to offer an educational experience to students and the community whether that is a masterclass, lecture, networking opportunity or some other forms.”
For Bravo, playing with the Indigo Girls gave him new skills to take into his study he otherwise may not have had. “This experience has helped me as a way to build up my confidence. If I can perform with such a talented group, well, what can’t I do?” Bravo said.
The impact of such collaborations goes far beyond the stage. It increases students’ confidence and makes students well prepared in the music industry. “I’m a great believer that music that happens inside of Glidden Hall is fantastic — music that happens in the community has the power to be life-changing,” Talbert said.
24. What do we know about Marcis Bravo?
A. He forgot to do his job on the stage. B. He won the Grammy Award.
C. He performed with the Indigo Girls. D. He taught music at a university.
25. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Add some background information.
B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
D. Offer some tips on attending a concert.
26. What does the underlined word “ecstatic” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Curious. B. Excited.
C. Regretful. D. Unprepared.
27. Which of the following best describes the impact of the collaboration?
A. Limited. B. Uncertain.
C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching.
C
Scientists have taken pictures of a star that is farther away than any single star ever seen. They were only able to see the star because gravity made it look bigger. The star, which has been called Icarus, is nine billion light years away. A light year is a very long distance — about 6 trillion miles. That’s how far light can travel in one year in space.
Icarus was created when the universe was very young. The star was a blue “supergiant” — much bigger and brighter than the sun. It took the light from the star about 9 billion years to reach the earth. It may seem strange, but the star is not even there any more. Actually, the light it made is still traveling through space.
Patrick Kelly worked with other scientists and NASA to spot the star. They used a telescope (望远镜) that NASA had put into space, called the Hubble Space Telescope. Mr. Kelly said, “This star is at least 100 times farther away than the next star we can study.” Icarus was so far away that the scientists needed more than just the Hubble Telescope to spot it.
The scientists were able to see the star because of gravity. Gravity doesn’t just pull things toward each other, it can also bend (使弯曲) light. When the light gets bent, it can make things look bigger. Scientists call this gravitational lensing.
Something really big was needed to magnify (放大) a star so far away — something even bigger than a galaxy! A galaxy is a huge group of stars. It was a whole group of galaxies that bent the light so that Icarus was big enough to see. The group of galaxies made it look 2,000 times bigger.
Scientists are excited about a new space telescope that NASA is planning. They hope that it may help them see Icarus better.
28. What makes it possible for scientists to see the star Icarus?
A. Gravity. B. Open space.
C. A spaceship. D. A short distance.
29. How do scientists benefit from gravitational lensing?
A. They can know the speed of light. B. They use it to track objects in space.
C. They can change the direction of light. D. They follow it to get close to the telescope.
30. What do scientists expect of the new telescope?
A. It will unlock the hidden secret of gravity. B. It will replace the current space telescope.
C. It will recognize the gravity on the moon. D. It will enable them to further study the star.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a space station. B. To announce a space mission.
C. To share a scientific discovery. D. To explain a new study on light.
D
Earth Day is a day set aside to remind people to protect our planet. Earth Day was first held on April 22, 1970. This year, the main idea of Earth Day is to get people to use less plastic.
Plastic is so cheap, easy to make, and helpful that people use it all the time. People usually do not think about the plastic they use. Actually, most plastic is not recycled and 91% of plastic is thrown away. So where does all that plastic go?
Sadly, much of the plastic ends up in the ocean. There are several large areas in the world's oceans which are filled with floating (漂浮的) rubbish. It is hard to measure the exact size of these areas, but they are huge. Scientists recently studied one of these areas, called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The research shows the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is three times as large as the country of France.
The plastic already in the ocean is a big problem. The plastic can hurt animals that live in the sea. It also breaks down into microplastics which can get into our drinking water and food, taking a big risk to our health.
Many countries have tried to limit plastic bags, either by making them against the law or by making people pay for plastic bags. Making these changes often cuts plastic bag use by 70% or more. France, Rwanda, Kenya, and China are just a few examples of countries which have worked to end plastic. In other places in the world, including the UK, governments are thinking about making plastic straws (吸管) and other single-use plastic against the law.
But no one has to wait for a new law to change what they do. The Earth Day group hopes that people make changes now, not just for Earth Day, but all year long.
32. What is a result of unrecycled plastic according to the text?
A. The oceans worldwide are polluted. B. More landfill sites are badly needed.
C. The price of paper straws increases. D. People will drop more plastic products.
33. The plastic that has broken down into microplastics will__________.
A. reduce water pollution B. be good for sea animals
C. be recycled more easily D. badly affect our health
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The difficulty of reusing plastic products. B. The efforts to address the issue of plastic.
C. The solution to the problem of fast food. D. The rising cost of living in some countries.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Origins of Wildlife B. Opinions on Ocean Plastics
C. Let's Use Less Plastic D. Celebrate Earth Day Together

Developing and maintaining proper movement patterns and training are necessary to prevent injuries and improve functional mobility. Here are four key strategies to make the right moves.
Master primary movement patterns
Consider the movements required to function during daily life. When you reach for something, you move your arm or arms around. As such, the generally accepted primary functional movements are pushing, pulling and turning. ___36___ .
Train for better balance
Adding balance training to your workouts will improve stability (稳定性). ___37___ . It helps you to better adapt to sudden changes in direction to reduce the risk of falls and injury. Because good balance is an important part of moving well, you should try some form of balance exercises in your workouts.
Include strength training in your workouts
___38___ . It also increases bone density (密度), joint stability, and overall durability (持久性). The strength training targets different muscle groups through all the primary movement patterns using good form to ensure safe and effective strength development. Strong muscles support the joints in functional movement to reduce the risk of injury.
___39___
Another key to moving better and avoiding injury is to move with intention. While exercising, focus on your breath and what you’re feeling to stay connected to your body’s experience. This mind-body connection increases the quality of movement and reduces the risk of injury.
Remember, injury prevention begins with understanding proper movement mechanics and regularly practicing functional movement patterns. ___40___ .
A. Keep your body very still
B. Develop your mind-body connection
C. The benefit of this type of training is noticeable
D. Regular strength training builds more than muscle
E. It requires slow physical exercise to relax your mind

Maya was an extraordinary student at Oakridge High School. Her days were filled with activities from early morning swim practices to late-night studies. She was a star swimmer, admired for her talent in the pool. It was her dream that she could swim along with the top swimmers in the region, or even in the country. However, her pursuit (追求) of excellence often came at a cost — her social life. While her classmates attended parties and social events, Maya had to study the textbooks.
Despite her busy schedule, Maya took up another hobby — art. With a sketchbook (素描册) in hand, she would lose herself in a world of creativity, where time stood still. Art offered her a place where she could express herself freely.
But as the pressures of high school intensified (增强), Maya found herself struggling to keep focused. The demands of her schoolwork and her pursuit of perfection in swimming left little room for anything else. She felt as though she was lost in a sea, unable to catch her breath.
One day, Maya received an invitation to attend an important art competition. It was a golden opportunity to showcase her talent on a larger stage. The news made her excited as she imagined the possibilities. Yet, her joy was short-lived.
The competition fell on the same weekend as the regional swimming championship. Maya was faced with an impossible choice: pursue her love for art or go to the swimming competition.
As the deadline for her decision got closer, Maya felt torn between two worlds, each pulling her in opposite directions. Her heart ached at the thought of letting either one go, yet she knew that she couldn't have it all. Giving the matter careful thought, Maya realized that she had to take her pick.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maya decided to pour her whole heart into the swimming competition.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Maya stood at the award presentation, she cried for joy.

Even though we speak the same language, English people and Americans are very different. They think that we Americans are friendly and that we have a strong desire to be successful and rich. And I think the British are quiet and gentle. I love the lifestyle there. Going out for afternoon tea was fun, and I always did that with my friends. And I really love the old buildings. We don’t have anything that old in the United States, so it is pretty amazing! By the way, I also went to Australia once. The buildings there aren’t so attractive, either. The British also have a different sense of humor. Their comedy shows on TV are really funny. I’d like to say my experience was a positive one. In fact, I’m saving up money so I can go back there again.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Most Unusual Festivals in the World
Burning Man
At the end of every summer, an artistic community comes together in the Nevada desert, the US. The community celebrates by creating artistic works, performances, and more that all can enjoy. A large wooden man, which is 105 feet tall, is burned to cap off the event. After that, the festival-goers will restore the environment to exactly as it was when they arrived
La Tomatina
The festival has run in August every year in Buñol, Spain since 1945, when a crowd took the tomatoes from a vegetable stand and started a food fight. The hour-long tomato fight used up to around 145,000 kg of tomatoes in 2015. Since 2013, La Tomatina has been a ticketed event to limit participants (参与者) to just 20,000. Before then, up to 50,000 guests had reportedly joined in the food fight.
Air Guitar World Championship
The event has been held every year in Oulu, Finland, since 1996 as part of the Oulu Music Video Festival. Participants must play air guitar on stage in two rounds with each lasting at least one minute. They must play air guitar only and are scored out of 6.0. The purpose of the event is simple: “Wars would end and all the bad things would go away if everyone just played air guitar.”
Underwater Music Festival
Located at Looe Key Reef, the US’ only living coral reef (珊瑚礁), the Underwater Music Festival has been running for 31 years. Bill Becker started the underwater music concert as a way to raise awareness for coral protection. Participants play their water-inspired music underwater through speakers. Over the years, the event has become a two-day festival that draws like-minded people from around the world.

As the lights dimmed (变暗淡) in the Glidden Hall on March 28, the atmosphere was filled with excitement. Among the sea of eager faces sat Marcis Bravo, a first-year graduate student working for his Masters of Music, ready for the song to begin. What followed was an unforgettable night where some of Ohio University’s music students shared the stage with the Grammy Award winners, the Indigo Girls.
For Bravo and his classmates, this was more than just a performance — it was a milestone in their musical journey and education. They lent their talents to breathe new life into the Indigo Girls’ timeless hits.
The Indigo Girls have been releasing (发行) records and touring the world for over 20 years, but more recently the two performers have started a new program — collaborating (合作) to create arrangements of their songs to perform with music students in college, stressing the importance of students getting this experience during formal studies.
“We are ecstatic to have our students interact with these wonderful touring artists that we bring to the university,” Matthew Talbert, director of the School of Music, said. “We aim to offer an educational experience to students and the community whether that is a masterclass, lecture, networking opportunity or some other forms.”
For Bravo, playing with the Indigo Girls gave him new skills to take into his study he otherwise may not have had. “This experience has helped me as a way to build up my confidence. If I can perform with such a talented group, well, what can’t I do?” Bravo said.
The impact of such collaborations goes far beyond the stage. It increases students’ confidence and makes students well prepared in the music industry. “I’m a great believer that music that happens inside of Glidden Hall is fantastic — music that happens in the community has the power to be life-changing,” Talbert said.

Scientists have taken pictures of a star that is farther away than any single star ever seen. They were only able to see the star because gravity made it look bigger. The star, which has been called Icarus, is nine billion light years away. A light year is a very long distance — about 6 trillion miles. That’s how far light can travel in one year in space.
Icarus was created when the universe was very young. The star was a blue “supergiant” — much bigger and brighter than the sun. It took the light from the star about 9 billion years to reach the earth. It may seem strange, but the star is not even there any more. Actually, the light it made is still traveling through space.
Patrick Kelly worked with other scientists and NASA to spot the star. They used a telescope (望远镜) that NASA had put into space, called the Hubble Space Telescope. Mr. Kelly said, “This star is at least 100 times farther away than the next star we can study.” Icarus was so far away that the scientists needed more than just the Hubble Telescope to spot it.
The scientists were able to see the star because of gravity. Gravity doesn’t just pull things toward each other, it can also bend (使弯曲) light. When the light gets bent, it can make things look bigger. Scientists call this gravitational lensing.
Something really big was needed to magnify (放大) a star so far away — something even bigger than a galaxy! A galaxy is a huge group of stars. It was a whole group of galaxies that bent the light so that Icarus was big enough to see. The group of galaxies made it look 2,000 times bigger.
Scientists are excited about a new space telescope that NASA is planning. They hope that it may help them see Icarus better.
28. What makes it possible for scientists to see the star Icarus?
A. Gravity. B. Open space.
C. A spaceship. D. A short distance.
29. How do scientists benefit from gravitational lensing?
A. They can know the speed of light. B. They use it to track objects in space.
C. They can change the direction of light. D. They follow it to get close to the telescope.
30. What do scientists expect of the new telescope?
A. It will unlock the hidden secret of gravity. B. It will replace the current space telescope.
C. It will recognize the gravity on the moon. D. It will enable them to further study the star.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a space station. B. To announce a space mission.
C. To share a scientific discovery. D. To explain a new study on light.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】

Earth Day is a day set aside to remind people to protect our planet. Earth Day was first held on April 22, 1970. This year, the main idea of Earth Day is to get people to use less plastic.
Plastic is so cheap, easy to make, and helpful that people use it all the time. People usually do not think about the plastic they use. Actually, most plastic is not recycled and 91% of plastic is thrown away. So where does all that plastic go?
Sadly, much of the plastic ends up in the ocean. There are several large areas in the world's oceans which are filled with floating (漂浮的) rubbish. It is hard to measure the exact size of these areas, but they are huge. Scientists recently studied one of these areas, called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The research shows the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is three times as large as the country of France.
The plastic already in the ocean is a big problem. The plastic can hurt animals that live in the sea. It also breaks down into microplastics which can get into our drinking water and food, taking a big risk to our health.
Many countries have tried to limit plastic bags, either by making them against the law or by making people pay for plastic bags. Making these changes often cuts plastic bag use by 70% or more. France, Rwanda, Kenya, and China are just a few examples of countries which have worked to end plastic. In other places in the world, including the UK, governments are thinking about making plastic straws (吸管) and other single-use plastic against the law.
But no one has to wait for a new law to change what they do. The Earth Day group hopes that people make changes now, not just for Earth Day, but all year long.
32. What is a result of unrecycled plastic according to the text?
A. The oceans worldwide are polluted. B. More landfill sites are badly needed.
C. The price of paper straws increases. D. People will drop more plastic products.
33. The plastic that has broken down into microplastics will__________.
A. reduce water pollution B. be good for sea animals
C. be recycled more easily D. badly affect our health
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The difficulty of reusing plastic products. B. The efforts to address the issue of plastic.
C. The solution to the problem of fast food. D. The rising cost of living in some countries.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Origins of Wildlife B. Opinions on Ocean Plastics
C. Let's Use Less Plastic D. Celebrate Earth Day Together
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了今年地球日的主题,呼吁人们减少使用塑料制品,
【32题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段“Sadly, much of the plastic ends up in the ocean. There are several large areas in the world's oceans which are filled with floating(漂浮的)rubbish. (不幸的是,大部分的塑料最终在海洋中结束。世界上有几个大的地区,到处都是漂浮的垃圾)”可知,丢弃的塑料会污染海洋环境。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第四段“It also breaks down into microplastics which can get into our drinking water and food, taking a big risk to our health.( 它还会分解成微塑料,进入我们的饮用水和食物中,对我们的健康构成很大的威胁)”可知,分化的微塑料会严重影响我们的健康。故选D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第五段尤其是“Many countries have tried to limit plastic bags, either by making them against the law or by making people pay for plastic bags. Making these changes often cuts plastic bag use by 70% or more. France, Rwanda, Kenya, and China are just a few examples of countries which have worked to end plastic. In other places in the world, including the UK, governments are thinking about making plastic straws(吸管)and other single-use plastic against the law.( 许多国家都试图限制塑料袋,要么将其定为违法行为,要么让人们为塑料袋付费。做出这些改变通常可以减少70%甚至更多的塑料袋使用量。法国、卢旺达、肯尼亚和中国只是一些致力于终结塑料的国家的例子。在包括英国在内的世界其他地方,政府正在考虑制造塑料吸管和其他一次性塑料违法)”可知,本段主要介绍很多国家为治理塑料问题所做出的努力。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“This year, the main idea of Earth Day is to get people to use less plastic.(今年,地球日的主要想法是让人们使用更少的塑料)”可知,本文主要介绍了今年地球日的主题,呼吁人们减少使用塑料制品。因此推断C项“让我们少用塑料”为最佳标题。故选C。

【57题详解】

【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:通过仔细记录单个动物的数量和战略性地设置相机陷阱,研究证实,注册的特许区明显容纳了更多的大型哺乳动物——超过220磅的哺乳动物,如大猩猩和森林象,多出2.7倍。此处修饰动词作状语应用副词carefully表示“仔细地”。故填carefully。

考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意:这一结果与多年前在秘鲁亚马逊地区进行的一项研究相吻合,该研究发现,如果在正确的地方以正确的方式进行,生产性林业与生物多样性保护是可能共存的。根据“years ago”可知,此处应用一般过去时。定语从句中关系代词that作主语,代指先行词a previous research。动词conduct意为“进行”,和主语构成被动关系。主语为第三人称单数。故填was conducted。
【63题详解】
考查不定式。句意:这一结果与多年前在秘鲁亚马逊地区进行的一项研究相吻合,该研究发现,如果在正确的地方以正确的方式进行,生产性林业与生物多样性保护是可能共存的。此处it为形式主语,动词不定式为真正的主语。故填to have。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:乌得勒支大学的Joeri Zwerts领导了刚果盆地的研究,他说:“我们花了5年时间和精力在这个大型项目上,涉及了数百名当地人。”在定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为the large project,应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。

考查连词。句意:这是一项艰苦的工作,但我们获得的知识将为保护这些森林中的动物做出重要贡献。前文“It was hard work”和后文“the knowledge we got will make an important contribution to the protection of animals in these forests”构成转折关系,应用连词but或yet表示“但是”。故填but/yet。

67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Maya was an extraordinary student at Oakridge High School. Her days were filled with activities, from early morning swim practices to late-night studies. She was a star swimmer, admired for her talent in the pool. It was her dream that she could swim along with the top swimmers in the region, or even in the country. However, her pursuit (追求) of excellence often came at a cost — her social life. While her classmates attended parties and social events, Maya had to study the textbooks.
Despite her busy schedule, Maya took up another hobby — art. With a sketchbook (素描册) in hand, she would lose herself in a world of creativity, where time stood still. Art offered her a place where she could express herself freely.
But as the pressures of high school intensified (增强), Maya found herself struggling to keep focused. The demands of her schoolwork and her pursuit of perfection in swimming left little room for anything else. She felt as though she was lost in a sea, unable to catch her breath.
One day, Maya received an invitation to attend an important art competition. It was a golden opportunity to showcase her talent on a larger stage. The news made her excited as she imagined the possibilities. Yet, her joy was short-lived.
The competition fell on the same weekend as the regional swimming championship. Maya was faced with an impossible choice: pursue her love for art or go to the swimming competition.
As the deadline for her decision got closer, Maya felt torn between two worlds, each pulling her in opposite directions. Her heart ached at the thought of letting either one go, yet she knew that she couldn't have it all. Giving the matter careful thought, Maya realized that she had to take her pick.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Maya decided to pour her whole heart into the swimming competition. After school every day, she practiced swimming, pushing her limits in the pool. Finally, the day of the competition arrived. With confidence, Maya set off to take up the challenges that lay ahead. As she stepped onto the pool deck, a sense of calm washed over her. It was a good chance to compete with the best swimmers in the region. With each movement, she swam herself closer to her goal, leaving her competitors behind. When the final round ended, Maya beat out other racers.
As Maya stood at the award presentation, she cried for joy. Her hard work finally paid off. She realized that she didn’t regret making the decision and found the purpose she had been seeking. She had proven that it was possible to pursue what she really wanted to achieve. Maya’s journey was not just about winning competitions. It was about discovering the power within herself to get over difficulties, to follow her heart, and to enjoy the beauty of a life lived with purpose.
