(周三10:30)”。故选B。 B As children, our mother always taught my brother and me the value of acquiring life skills. “It sets you apart and make you distinguished,” she would say. While my brother chose the path of mastering musical instruments, I was attracted to the field of languages. Growing up in a multilingual household where Chinese, Cantonese, and English mixed, I felt it natural to continue exploring new linguistic possibilities. Languages fascinated me. I was attracted by the way words gracefully rolled off tongues and how each language seemed to unlock a door to an entirely new world, no matter how challenging they were to learn. Eager to try beyond Asian languages, it was my mother who suggested French as a suitable starting point. The elegance and poetic charm of the language quickly attracted me. The melodic flow and the way the words effortlessly danced off my tongue caused an exciting feeling, fueling my desire to explore deeper into its complexity. Interestingly, despite my passion and talent for it, French proved to be the language that took the longest to fully grasp. Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal (宝库). After realizing that Spanish wasn’t the right fit for me, I found myself addicted to the fascinating world of German. Being enrolled (就读) in a German-speaking school speeded my progress, and two years later, my command of German surpassed my years of studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese to my linguistic arsenal. It fact, speaking multiple languages is not a mere achievement; it is a joyous celebration of the richness of human expression. For me, it serves as a powerful tool to develop connections with people all over the world. 4. Why did the author’s mother teach her children the importance of acquiring life skills? A. It is part of making a living. B. It is a tradition in their family. C. It makes a person outstanding. D. It contributes to future success. 5. What did the author think of a new language? A. It broadened her horizon. B. It increased her confidence. C. It was necessary for her future. D. It was a valuable part of her life. 6. What can we know about the author’s learning French? A. She quit it halfway. B. She found it challenging. C. She considered it unsuitable. D. She showed little interest in it. 7. Which word can best describe the author? A. Changeable. B. Independent. C. Creative. D. Determined. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者不断学习新的语言的经历，从母亲的教导开始，作者对语言的魅力产生兴趣，逐渐学习掌握了法语、德语、拉丁语、古希腊语和日语等多种语言。通过学习不同的语言，作者感受到了人类表达的丰富性，进而认识到语言能够在更广阔的层面上促进人类之间的联系与团结。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As children, our mother always taught my brother and me the value of acquiring life skills. “It sets you apart and make you distinguished,” she would say.(在我还是孩子的时候，母亲总是教导我和弟弟学习生活技能的重要性。“这让你与众不同，”她会说)”可知，作者的母亲重视获得生活技能是因为它使一个人脱颖而出。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was attracted by the way words gracefully rolled off tongues and how each language seemed to unlock a door to an entirely new world, no matter how challenging they were to learn.(我被语言优雅地从舌头上滑过的方式所吸引，每一种语言似乎都打开了一扇通往全新世界的大门，无论学习它们有多么具有挑战性)”可知，作者觉得一门新语言可以拓宽他的眼界。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The melodic flow and the way the words effortlessly danced off my tongue caused an exciting feeling, fueling my desire to explore deeper into its complexity. Interestingly, despite my passion and talent for it, French proved to be the language that took the longest to fully grasp.(流畅的旋律和毫不费力地从我的舌头上跳下来的方式引起了一种激动人心的感觉，激发了我对其复杂性进行更深入探索的愿望。有趣的是，尽管我对法语充满热情和天赋，但事实证明法语是我花了最长时间才能完全掌握的语言)”可知，作者觉得法语是复杂的，学习它是有挑战性的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal (宝库).(然而，我坚持并且从未放弃扩大我的语言宝库)”和第四段中“Being enrolled (就读) in a German-speaking school speeded my progress, and two years later, my command of German surpassed my years of studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese to my linguistic arsenal.(进入一所讲德语的学校加快了我的进步，两年后，我对德语的掌握超过了我学习法语的时间。随着时间的推移，我又增加了拉丁语、古希腊语和日语)”可知，虽然学习法语很难，但作者并未放弃，而且一直在学习新的语言。由此可知，作者是一个坚定的人。故选D。 C With the arrival of the summer heat, the wave of cultural-themed ice creams is sweeping across social media platforms in China. Museums, scenic spots, amusement parks and even universities have once again rolled out their unique cultural-themed ice creams this year. These ice creams are often tiny copies of famous landmarks or cultural relics (文物) that offer visitors a delight for the taste buds (味蕾). The trend of cultural-themed ice creams began in 2019 when the Old Summer Palace in Beijing was one of the first scenic spots in China to introduce lotus-shaped ice creams. It was inspired by that in 2017 eleven ancient lotus seeds were discovered in a pool at the Old Summer Palace. Six of these ancient lotus seeds bloomed in the summer of 2019. So to mark the occasion, staff at the Old Summer Palace designed ice creams shaped like lotus flowers. These ice creams were widely loved by visitors, not only serving as a cold treat but also offering a unique way for visitors to connect with their cultural heritage. To protect their cultural relics, many museums have put up signs banning photography or the use of a flash. However, cultural-themed ice creams provide an alternative way for visitors to catch memories of their visit. Various flavors offer visitors a choice of colors and ingredients for the ice cream, which reflect the local characteristics and charm of these cold treats. It is also suggested by the museums that the visitors can take the carved ice cream bars home with them to use as bookmarks. For many young people, taking photos of themselves standing alongside cultural landmarks is an artistic preference from their parents’ generation. To them, a selfie with a cultural-themed ice cream is a much cooler way to show off their travel experiences and bridge the gap between modern life and distant historical relics. 8. What can we learn about cultural-themed ice creams from the first two paragraphs? A. Visitors are eager to try their taste. B. They are made due to summer heat. C. Visitors spend much money on them. D. They are often shaped like landmarks. 9. What inspired the idea of cultural-themed ice creams? A. The Old Summer Palace. B. The wide love by visitors. C. The discovery of ancient lotus. D. The flowers of the six ancient seeds. 10. What does the underlined word “bridge” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Narrow. B. Measure. C. Create. D. Affect. 11. What is the main idea of this passage? A. A creative way to protect cultural heritage. B. Ancient lotus seeds flowered in modern times. C. A cool way to show off your travel experiences. D. Experiencing colorful cultures with your taste buds. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁属于说明文。文章主要介绍了文化主题冰淇淋在中国社交媒体平台上的流行现象，以及这些冰淇淋如何成为连接现代生活与文化遗产的桥梁，让人们在品尝美味的同时体验不同的文化。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Museums, scenic spots, amusement parks and even universities have once again rolled out their unique cultural-themed ice creams this year. These ice creams are often tiny copies of famous landmarks or cultural relics (文物) that offer visitors a delight for the taste buds (味蕾). (今年，博物馆、景点、游乐园甚至大学都再次推出了他们独特的文化主题冰淇淋。这些冰淇淋通常是著名地标或文物的微小复制品，为游客提供味蕾的乐趣。)”可知，这些冰淇淋通常是著名地标或文物的微型复制品。因此，我们可以从这两段中了解到，文化主题冰淇淋通常是地标形状的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“The trend of cultural-themed ice creams began in 2019 when the Old Summer Palace in Beijing was one of the first scenic spots in China to introduce lotus-shaped ice creams. It was inspired by that in 2017 eleven ancient lotus seeds were discovered in a pool at the Old Summer Palace. Six of these ancient lotus seeds bloomed in the summer of 2019. So to mark the occasion, staff at the Old Summer Palace designed ice creams shaped like lotus flowers. These ice creams were widely loved by visitors, not only serving as a cold treat but also offering a unique way for visitors to connect with their cultural heritage. (以文化为主题的冰淇淋潮流始于2019年，当时北京圆明园是中国首批推出莲形冰淇淋的景点之一。它的灵感来自于2017年在圆明园的一个池塘里发现的11颗古老的莲子。2019年夏天，六颗古老的莲子开花了。为了纪念这一节日，圆明园的工作人员设计了莲花形状的冰淇淋。这些冰淇淋受到游客的广泛喜爱，不仅作为一种冷饮，而且为游客提供了一种与他们的文化遗产联系在一起的独特方式。)”可知，古代莲子的发现启发了文化主题冰淇淋的创意。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章最后一段“For many young people, taking photos of themselves standing alongside cultural landmarks is an artistic preference from their parents’ generation. To them, a selfie with a cultural-themed ice cream is a much cooler way to show off their travel experiences (对许多年轻人来说，站在文化地标旁拍照是他们父母那一代的一种艺术偏好。对他们来说，拿着文化主题冰淇淋自拍是一种更酷的方式，可以展示他们的旅行经历)”和“the gap between modern life and distant historical relics. (现代生活和遥远历史遗迹之间的差距)”可知，许多年轻人认为，用文化主题冰淇淋自拍是一种更酷的方式来展示他们的旅行经历，缩小现代生活与遥远历史遗迹之间的鸿沟。这里的bridge指的是缩小两者之间的差距。A. Narrow使窄小；B. Measure测量；C. Create创建；D. Affect影响。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章倒数第二段“To protect their cultural relics, many museums have put up signs banning photography or the use of a flash. However, cultural-themed ice creams provide an alternative way for visitors to catch memories of their visit. Various flavors offer visitors a choice of colors and ingredients for the ice cream, which reflect the local characteristics and charm of these cold treats. It is also suggested by the museums that the visitors can take the carved ice cream bars home with them to use as bookmarks. (为了保护文物，许多博物馆都张贴了禁止拍照或使用闪光灯的标志。然而，以文化为主题的冰淇淋为游客提供了另一种方式来捕捉他们的访问记忆。各种口味的冰淇淋为游客提供了颜色和配料的选择，体现了这些冷食的地方特色和魅力。博物馆还建议游客可以将雕刻好的雪糕带回家作为书签使用。)”可知，文章主要讲述了各种文化主题的冰淇淋在中国社交媒体平台上走红，并且这些冰淇淋往往是著名地标或文物的微型复制品，让游客在品尝的同时感受到不同的文化，从而创造性地保护文化遗产。选项A“Creative way to protect cultural heritage. (创造性地保护文化遗产)”符合题意。故选A。 D The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging (刺人的) tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree — a name given to the tree by indigenous Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you brush up against a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months. Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain. The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked (舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemical very stable, which helps explain how the pain lasts so long. The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and con e snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all use similar poisons. Spiders and con e snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree. Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small relatives of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble. 12. A touch on the stinging tree is unforgettable because ________. A. it has an unusual appearance B. it is extremely rare in nature C. the suffering caused by it remains long D. touching it creates a quite strange feeling 13 What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree? A. How it produces poisons. B. What poisons it produces. C. The consequences of its sting. D. How it benefits from the sting. 14. What does the text imply about the stinging tree? A. It produces the same poisons as spiders. B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies. C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it. D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Stinging Trees’ Secrets Exposed B. Warning: Trees That Can Poison You C. Strange Tree Species Found in Australia D. Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Trees 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对澳大利亚的金皮树进行研究，发现了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If you brush up against a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months. (如果你碰一下进金皮树，你不会很快忘记它。疼痛会持续几个小时，几天甚至几周。据报道，据报道，在某些情况下，这种情况会持续数月)”可知，碰到金皮树会是让人难以忘记，因为它所造成的痛苦会持续很久。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all use similar poisons. Spiders and con e snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.(科学家惊讶地发现三种不同种类的树都有相似的毒液。蜘蛛和锥形蜗牛携带毒素，因为它们通过刺其他生物来获取食物。科学家仍热不清楚刺是如何保护金皮树的)”可知，科学家没有发现金皮树的刺如何保护金皮树，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small relatives of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.(尽管这种树的刺或许阻止一些动物吃它，但是它不会阻止所有的动物。甲虫和小松鼠（袋鼠的近亲）能够不费劲地吃到这种植物)”可知，尽管金皮树有毒，一些动物不能吃它，但是像甲虫和小松鼠就能吃到，这说明尽管金皮树有毒，它也是有天敌的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging (刺人的) tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree — a name given to the tree by indigenous Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you brush up against a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.(澳大利亚东部的热带雨林是一种被称为石斛的刺树的家园。许多人称它为“gympie-gympie树”，这是澳大利亚土著给这种树起的名字。它身上覆盖着尖锐的针状毛发，携带着毒素。如果你碰到了一棵金皮树，你不会很快忘记的。疼痛可以持续数小时、数天或数周。据报道，在某些情况下，这种情况会持续数月)”结合文章主要介绍了科学家对澳大利亚的金皮树进行研究，发现了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。可知文章主要讲述了科学家对金皮树的研究，且发现了金皮树的秘密，A选项“金皮树的秘密暴露”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you trying to find ways to be more effective at your job? If so, please follow these habits of naturally productive people. They take breaks. ____16____. Studies show that prolonged (长期的) tasks that require high levels of focus, energy, and attention can cause you to become less productive and focused over time. Take brief mental breaks. Setting aside a little time here and there to release your focus can significantly help maintain it for longer periods of time. ____17____. Settle down, super men and women. While it’s fine to pride yourself on your abilities to multitask, which means do several things at the same time, it’s in your best interest and your employer’s if you stick to one to-do at a time. Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. ____18____. In fact, the more we multitask, the less effective and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to finish. They have a full night’s sleep. In school, you may have found that too many students stay up late to finish a paper or study for an exam, but, despite your best efforts, research shows this is not the way to do business. ____19____. Actually, studies have linked insufficient sleep to decreased levels of productivity, unsatisfactory work performance, and poorer safety outcomes. They value fitness. You know the countless benefits of exercise. ____20____, because it releases something to reduce stress and increase your brain’s productivity. Even 30-minute bursts of moderate-to-high physical activity just three to four times a day can go a long way in helping you achieve your personal and professional goals. A. They prefer to do more every day B. Pressing stop button is important C. It also seriously improves your mood D. However, research shows the opposite E. They don’t try to do everything at once F Enough sleep makes great contribution to effective work G. Poor sleep or lack of sleep carries some pretty negative rewards 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者认为只有遵循自然规律才能提高工作效率。如工作中要有休息，即使是短暂的休息也可让你养精蓄锐，提高注意力。不要同时做多重任务，任务越多，效率越低。还要有充足的睡眠，锻炼身体也有非常多的好处。 【16题详解】 根据上文“They take breaks. (他们会休息。)”以及后文“Studies show that prolonged (长期的) tasks that require high levels of focus, energy, and attention can cause you to become less productive and focused over time. Take brief mental breaks. Setting aside a little time here and there to release your focus can significantly help maintain it for longer periods of time. (研究表明，需要高度专注、精力和注意力的长时间任务会导致你的效率和注意力随着时间的推移而降低。短暂的精神休息。在这里或那里留出一点时间来释放你的注意力，可以显著地帮助你长时间保持注意力。)”可知，本段主要叙述了短暂的休息有助于集中精力、使注意力集中。故B项“短暂的休息很重要”符合本段文意，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Settle down, super men and women. While it’s fine to pride yourself on your abilities to multitask, which means do several things at the same time, it’s in your best interest and your employer’s if you stick to one to-do at a time. Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. (冷静点，超人和超女。虽然对自己的多任务处理能力感到自豪是件好事，这意味着同时做几件事，但如果你一次只做一件事，这对你和你的雇主都是最有利的。从某种程度上说，我们的文化已经接受并提倡了这样一种观念：我们一次能做的越多越好。)”可知，尽管可以为自己的多任务能力感到自豪，但如果你一次只做一件事，这对你（和你的老板）是最有利的。以及最后一句“In fact, the more we multi-task, the less efficient and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to accomplish. (事实上，我们的任务越多，在我们试图完成的所有任务中效率和生产力就越低。)”可知，多任务会使工作的效率低，因此不要一次做所有的事情。故E项“他们不想一下子做所有事”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. (在某些方面，我们的文化已经接受并推广了这样一种观点，即我们一次能做的越多，越好。)”以及最后一句“In fact, the more we multi-task, the less efficient and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to accomplish. (事实上，我们的任务越多，在我们试图完成的所有任务中效率和生产力就越低。)”可知，前后表达相反。故D项“然而，研究结果却恰恰相反”承上启下，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Actually, studies have linked insufficient sleep to decreased levels of productivity, unsatisfactory work performance, and poorer safety outcomes. (事实上，研究发现睡眠不足与生产力水平下降、工作表现不佳以及安全性较差有关。)”可知，后文主要详细说明了睡眠不足带来的负面影响。故G项“睡眠不好或睡眠不足会带来一些相当负面的回报”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“They value fitness. You know the countless benefits of exercise. (他们重视健康。你知道锻炼的无数好处。)”以及后文“because it releases something to reduce stress and increase your brain’s productivity.

She didn’t know why she just wasn’t any good at drawing, painting, or cutting. Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition,” she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Lily liked her a lot. But this announcement made Lily nervous. “Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Lily found herself sinking lower in her chair. Lily had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Lily felt frightened, so after school Lily asked Ms. Clay if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project. “I understand this project scared you, Lily.” Ms. Clay said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Clay smiled at her. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings —it isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.” When Lily arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Clay’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Lily wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled(揉皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk. Then Lily stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her. Why not create something out of crumpled paper? 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。 The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Friday, Lily carefully carried her project into the library. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball. “Why not make a snowman with these paper snowballs?” Lily suddenly thought to herself. She didn’t have to draw or paint or even cut. Lily made many paper balls, glued them all together, and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman. The snowman wore a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper. Her finished project was really wonderful, which made her feel very satisfied. On Friday, Lily carefully carried her project into the library. She noticed the smile and the nods from teachers and other students as she put her work on a table. Ms. Clay walked over to Lily. “You have created so creative a piece of artwork that I am very proud of you!” Ms. Clay said kindly. Lily was proud of herself too. Her pride grew when Ms. Clay placed a first-place star on her artwork. “Maybe I am a good artist after all,” Lily thought with full confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lily喜欢上学，但是担忧美术课，不擅长素描、油画和剪纸。这次美术老师宣布要搞美术展，Lily紧张又为难。当她问老师是否可以用美术论文替代的时候，老师告诉她可以创造任何自己想要的美术作品，不一定是画或者剪，并鼓励她努力完成作品。Lily在家受到揉成团的纸启发，把纸团当作雪球进行美术创作，并获得成功的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那张皱巴巴的纸使她想起了雪球。”可知，第一段可描写Lily用纸团当作雪球进行美术创作。 ②由第二段首句内容“星期五，Lily小心翼翼地把她的作业带进了图书馆。”可知，第二段可描写Lily的作品得到老师的肯定，非常自豪。 2.续写线索：思考——制作——完成——上交——得到肯定——自豪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.想到：think/call to mind ②.放置：place/put 情绪类 ①.满意的：satisfied/pleased ②.亲切地：kindly/lovingly 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

While my brother chose the path of mastering musical instruments, I was attracted to the field of languages. Growing up in a multilingual household where Chinese, Cantonese, and English mixed, I felt it natural to continue exploring new linguistic possibilities. Languages fascinated me. I was attracted by the way words gracefully rolled off tongues and how each language seemed to unlock a door to an entirely new world, no matter how challenging they were to learn. Eager to try beyond Asian languages, it was my mother who suggested French as a suitable starting point. The elegance and poetic charm of the language quickly attracted me. The melodic flow and the way the words effortlessly danced off my tongue caused an exciting feeling, fueling my desire to explore deeper into its complexity. Interestingly, despite my passion and talent for it, French proved to be the language that took the longest to fully grasp. Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal (宝库). After realizing that Spanish wasn’t the right fit for me, I found myself addicted to the fascinating world of German. Being enrolled (就读) in a German-speaking school speeded my progress, and two years later, my command of German surpassed my years of studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese to my linguistic arsenal. It fact, speaking multiple languages is not a mere achievement; it is a joyous celebration of the richness of human expression. For me, it serves as a powerful tool to develop connections with people all over the world. 4. Why did the author’s mother teach her children the importance of acquiring life skills? A. It is part of making a living. B. It is a tradition in their family. C. It makes a person outstanding. D. It contributes to future success. 5. What did the author think of a new language? A. It broadened her horizon. B. It increased her confidence. C. It was necessary for her future. D. It was a valuable part of her life. 6. What can we know about the author’s learning French? A. She quit it halfway. B. She found it challenging. C. She considered it unsuitable. D. She showed little interest in it. 7. Which word can best describe the author? A. Changeable. B. Independent. C. Creative. D. Determined. C With the arrival of the summer heat, the wave of cultural-themed ice creams is sweeping across social media platforms in China. Museums, scenic spots, amusement parks and even universities have once again rolled out their unique cultural-themed ice creams this year. These ice creams are often tiny copies of famous landmarks or cultural relics (文物) that offer visitors a delight for the taste buds (味蕾). The trend of cultural-themed ice creams began in 2019 when the Old Summer Palace in Beijing was one of the first scenic spots in China to introduce lotus-shaped ice creams. It was inspired by that in 2017 eleven ancient lotus seeds were discovered in a pool at the Old Summer Palace. Six of these ancient lotus seeds bloomed in the summer of 2019. So to mark the occasion, staff at the Old Summer Palace designed ice creams shaped like lotus flowers. These ice creams were widely loved by visitors, not only serving as a cold treat but also offering a unique way for visitors to connect with their cultural heritage. To protect their cultural relics, many museums have put up signs banning photography or the use of a flash. However, cultural-themed ice creams provide an alternative way for visitors to catch memories of their visit. Various flavors offer visitors a choice of colors and ingredients for the ice cream, which reflect the local characteristics and charm of these cold treats. It is also suggested by the museums that the visitors can take the carved ice cream bars home with them to use as bookmarks. For many young people, taking photos of themselves standing alongside cultural landmarks is an artistic preference from their parents’ generation.

Experiencing colorful cultures with your taste buds. D The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging (刺人的) tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree — a name given to the tree by indigenous Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you brush up against a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months. Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain. The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked (舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemical very stable, which helps explain how the pain lasts so long. The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and con e snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all use similar poisons. Spiders and con e snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree. Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small relatives of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble. 12. A touch on the stinging tree is unforgettable because ________. A. it has an unusual appearance B. it is extremely rare in nature C. the suffering caused by it remains long D. touching it creates a quite strange feeling 13. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree? A. How it produces poisons. B. What poisons it produces. C. The consequences of its sting. D. How it benefits from the sting. 14. What does the text imply about the stinging tree? A. It produces the same poisons as spiders. B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies. C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it. D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Stinging Trees’ Secrets Exposed B. Warning: Trees That Can Poison You C. Strange Tree Species Found in Australia D. Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Trees 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you trying to find ways to be more effective at your job?

However, there was one class Lily worried about more than any other —art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t any good at drawing, painting, or cutting. Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition,” she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Lily liked her a lot. But this announcement made Lily nervous. “Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Lily found herself sinking lower in her chair. Lily had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Lily felt frightened, so after school Lily asked Ms. Clay if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project. “I understand this project scared you, Lily.” Ms. Clay said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Clay smiled at her. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings —it isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.” When Lily arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Clay’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Lily wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled(揉皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk. Then Lily stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her. Why not create something out of crumpled paper? 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。 The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Friday, Lily carefully carried her project into the library. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
