Here is how to write a limerick. Pick what you would like your limerick to be about. It could be about mice, a tree, a person, or whatever. __________. Don’t end it with something you can’t rhyme-like “orange”, Start it like “There once was a man who ate limes(酸橙)” or something like that. Your next line has to rhyme with the first line. If you use “There once was a man who ate limes”, your second line could be like “ He ate them all the time” or “ And sampled various wines”. Your limerick would now be like “There once was a man who ate limes/And sampled various wines”. The third and fourth lines have to be related to the first part of your limerick, but are not with the same rhyme. They could be like, “ He wouldn’t touch a tomato/It tasted too much like potatoes” or something along those lines. The fifth line must rhyme with the first two lines.Your last line could be like, “ And potatoes, you know, do not shine” or something like that. Your entire limerick would be kind of like this: There once was a man who ate limes/And sampled various wines/ He wouldn’t touch a tomato/It tasted too much like potatoes/And potatoes, you know, do not shine. If you don’t like your limerick, you can always go back and change it. It’s not permanent. 1．What should be cared about most to write limericks? A．The length. B．The rhyme. C．The structure. D．The style. 2．Which can most properly fit the blank in Paragraph 3? A．Consider your limerick. B．Decide a perfect content C．Care for your words.

A．How to Write a Limerick B．How to Appreciate a Limerick C．How to Analyze Limericks Exactly D．How to Organize Five Lines into a Limerick It’s not often that I am able to recommend a book for children and adults, but Kira and a dog named Money is definitely a good and important read for both you and your parents. Kira and a dog named Money, by German financial coach Bodo Schäfer, is the first book about money written for children. It was published in 2000 and has sold millions of copies around the world. The book is about a 12-year-old girl called Kira, who doesn’t get a lot of pocket money, but wastes all she has buying dolls and other childish things. Her parents are always short of money, and have many arguments about it. So finances are not something Kira likes talking about. But one day, she rescues a dog, and to show his thanks, the dog, a Labrador, tells Kira that he is able to talk. Strangely, he knows all about finances and understands things like funds and investments (投资), so he teaches Kira, her friends and family-and us, the reader-how to make money, how to save it and how to invest it. So what is the financial advice that the dog Money gives to readers of the book? Money says that every time you earn money, you should divide it into three parts. You should keep one part for everyday spending, put one part in your savings accounts for your future dreams and then treat the third part as a “golden goose”- an investment. This is a must-read, and a great educational book for children learning to manage their pocket money. 5．What do we know about the book from the first paragraph? A．Its author is a child. B．It was published 30 years ago. C．It is very popular worldwide. D．It focuses on teaching Germany. 6．How did Kira get the dog Money? A．She bought it. B．She saved it by accident. C．Her parents gave it to her. D．She used her dolls to exchange it with others. 7．Which sentence best expresses dog Money’s financial advice to readers? A．Spend your money wisely. B．Raise geese to make a living. C．Save money as much as possible. D．Don’t put all the eggs in the same basket. 8．What is the text? A．A biography. B．A book review. C．A children’s story. D．A financial report. Poetry Contest The contest is open to anyone aged thirteen and up who writes poetry. Enter your poem for a free chance to win prizes!

All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley’s memoir (回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), brings new meaning to the term “art appreciation”. Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution. But Bringley’s “guard’s-eye view” is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity. After his brother Tom’s death in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which “I was happy to be going nowhere”. He explains, “I had lost someone. I did not wish to move on from that. In a sense, I didn’t wish to move at all.” All the Beauty in the World offers well-chosen cases about the museum to support Bringley’s personal tale. The Met opened in 1880 and has since expanded to more than 2.5 million square feet—“the size of about 3,000 average New York apartments”. The “salmon run (鲑鱼回游) of visitors” that goes up the Grand Staircase every morning when the museum opens adds up to a crowd of nearly 7 million visitors a year. As interesting as these facts are, it’s Bringley’s reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute (致敬) to the power of art. I think that “sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work of art gives us that”. In a Vermeer portrait of a dozing maidservant, he is moved to see that the artist captured “that feeling we sometimes have that a private setting possesses a holiness of its own. It was my constant feeling in Tom’s hospital room.” As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not “about art, but from it” and attaining peace into art. This is art appreciation at a deep level. 12．What sets All the Beauty in the World apart from other books written by Met staffers? A．His writing perspective. B．His analysis of visitors. C．His focus on MET’s history. D．His introduction to artworks. 13．What caused Bringley to change his job according to his words? A．His hobby from childhood. B．His failure as a journalist. C．Loss of his beloved brother. D．His ambition of being great. 14．What is Para. 4 mainly about regarding the book? A．An account of Met’s development. B．An introduction of recognized artists. C．Bringley’s interpretations of individual artworks. D．Bringley’s review of the impact of technology on art. 15．What can be the best title of this passage? A．Learn from Art, Find Peace B．Appreciate Life, Know Art C．Little-known Facts about the Met D．Inner Worlds of the Famous Artists Every year — for more than 15 years running — Amazon editors come together and read hundreds of books. From there, they make a list of favorites, cutting it down from 60 to 40 and then finally to 20, during a heated debate in Seattle. It’s a long process where emotions run high. Below are 4 of the top 20 picks of 2023, along with quotes (引述) from the editors. Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano “Ann Napolitano creates a touching story that centers on the Padavano sisters, who are close to each other — until they aren’t. Hello Beautiful offers big emotions, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful and so page-turning, which is why we named it the Best Book of 2023 So Far.” — Al Woodworth Weyward by Emilia Hart “Though divided by centuries, three women, who share a unique connection to the natural world and to one another, tell their attractive stories of ill treatment, danger, and adaptability in a beautifully written novel that is an impressive read.” — Seira Wilson Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond “In 200 powerful and critical pages, Matthew Desmond lays out a clear explanation of inequality that will make you rage (发怒), give in, and feel shame. This book may not be the easiest read, but it’s one of the most important ones.” — Lindsay Powers King: A Life by Jonathan Eig “Eig’s best description of Martin Luther King Jr. is an amazing achievement of writing and research, telling the hardships and heroics of a man who changed the world. This is biography at its absolute finest.” — Al Woodworth 16．How many books have been finally chosen as the best of 2023 by Amazon editors? A．Four. B．Twenty. C．Forty. D．Sixty. 17．What makes Hello Beautiful stand out? A．Moving stories. B．Powerful pages. C．Big emotions. D．Impressive characters. 18．Which book best attracts people interested in the lives of famous people? A．Hello Beautiful. B．Weyward. C．Poverty, by America. D．King: A Life. The ocean is a rich and seemingly lawless frontier. It’s a watery wild west, irresistible to humans hoping to rob its many riches. That is the point throughout The High Seas: Greed, Power and the Battle for the Unclaimed Ocean, a fast-paced and thoroughly reported book by science journalist Olive Heffernan. The book begins by going rapidly through the waves of history that brought us to today. Then Heffernan devotes a chapter each to different ways people are increasingly occupying international waters, an expansion called the Blue Acceleration. Some are hunting for new fishing grounds. Others are searching for new medicines in the DNA of deep-sea living things. Still others are exploring how to boost the ocean’s carbon uptake to help slow climate change. Even the space industry wants a piece of the ocean — to create watery graveyards for useless spacecraft. The description from one ocean ambition to another emphasizes one of the book’s biggest takeaways: We’ve established an unstable new type of ocean ecosystem, and it is going to be incredibly difficult maybe impossible to balance all the priorities while also protecting ocean health and biodiversity. Conflicting desires to rob the sea and protect it show up over and over again. “Nations urging conservation in one area may push for increasing exploration in another,” Heffernan writes. The European Union in 2021, for example, offered prizes to its fishing boats to range farther offshore, even as it committed to sustainable fishing. Nations promising to protect sea life and fighting climate change may be the same countries that support deep-sea mining, which may be harmful to life on the ocean floor. “The problem,” Heffernan says,“isn’t that the high seas are without any rules. Rather, organizations and bodies each use their own rulebook.” By the final chapter —“Hope for the high seas”— it’s hard to know what anyone could actually do to help save the ocean. “We’re at a crucial crossroads.” Heffernan writes. “We can continue going ever deeper and further offshore in our search for new sources of wealth, or we can strike a more sustainable balance.”she added. 19．What might the Blue Acceleration refer to? A．The extensive exploration of oceans. B．The negative influence of climate change. C．The rapid expansion of oceanic research. D．The increased competition in space industry. 20．What might be the reason for “conflicting desires” according to Heffernan? A．The greed of human nature. B．The absence of ocean laws. C．The lack of a consistent ocean policy. D．The gap in technological development. 21．What can we know about Heffernan? A．She doubts international cooperation. B．She cares about the ecological consequences. C．She is optimistic about technological advancements. D．She is certain of the success of ocean exploration. 22．What is the text? A．A news report. B．A book review. C．A research paper. D．A policy proposal.

Favorite Books for Young Readers The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble (For ages 5 to 8) Everywhere you look in The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, there’s a tiny, precise and lovely detail—a plant, a bird, a lizard, a shell and of course the great horses. This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal (描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness. Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (For ages 4 to 8) Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming. The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson (For ages 6 to 9) One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy, photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute (致敬) to decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an author and an artist,” Nelson said. Harlem by Walter and Christopher (For ages 9 and up) This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of “Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage (拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city. 26．What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses? A．The girl’s strong connection with nature. B．The girl’s artistic talent in drawing horses. C．The girl’s expertise in training wild animals.

(第三行和第四行必须与打油诗的第一部分相关，但不能押韵。)”以及第六段“The fifth line must rhyme with the first two lines.( 第五行必须与前两行押韵。)”可知，你的下一行必须和第一行押韵。第三和第四行必须与你的打油诗的第一部分有关，但不是押韵的。第五行必须与前两行押韵。所以，打油诗从第二行到第五行怎么写，都与第一行怎么写有直接的关系。故判断D选项“Start your first line.(开始写你的第一行)”最适合文本中的空白处。故选D。 3．推理判断题。由倒数第二段“There once was a man who ate limes/And sampled various wines/ He wouldn’t touch a tomato/It tasted too much like potatoes/And potatoes, you know, do not shine.(曾经有一个人，他吃酸橙/尝过各种各样的酒/他不愿碰西红柿/它尝起来太像土豆了/而土豆，你知道，不发光。)”可知，这是最终写成的打油诗，之前作者在讲解如何写五行打油诗的时候，将这首打油诗一一进行分解以例子的形式来进行解释说明。所以判断出作者是通过列举来展开短文的。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“ Here is how to write a limerick.( 下面是如何写打油诗。)”以及通读全文可知，文章围绕着“如何写五行打油诗”而展开的。故短文的最佳标题为“How to Write a Limerick(如何写五行打油诗)”。故选A。 5．C 6．B 7．D 8．B 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章介绍了《Kira and a dog named Money》这本书的相关信息，包括作者、出版时间、内容概要、书中角色以及给出的理财建议，最后还表达了这本书对于儿童学习管理零花钱的重要性和推荐度。 5．推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“It was published in 2000 and has sold millions of copies around the world. (这本书于2000年出版，在全球销售了数百万册。)”可知，这本书自2000年出版以来，在全球已售出数百万册，非常受欢迎。故选C。 6．细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“But one day, she rescues a dog, and to show his thanks, the dog, a Labrador, tells Kira that he is able to talk. (但是有一天，她救了一只狗，为了表示感谢，这只拉布拉多犬告诉基拉他会说话。)”可知，基拉是偶然救了这只狗。故选B。 7．推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“So what is the financial advice that the dog Money gives to readers of the book? Money says that every time you earn money, you should divide it into three parts. (那么，这只名叫Money的狗给读者的理财建议是什么呢？Money说，每次你赚到钱，你应该把它分成三部分。)”可知，狗狗Money给读者的理财建议是每次赚到钱时，将其分为三部分来管理，这与选项“不要把所有的鸡蛋放在同一个篮子里。”表达的分散投资、不把资金集中在一处的理财观念相符。故选D。 8．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“It’s not often that I am able to recommend a book for children and adults, but Kira and a dog named Money is definitely a good and important read for both you and your parents. Kira and a dog named Money, by German financial coach Bodo Schäfer, is the first book about money written for children. It was published in 2000 and has sold millions of copies around the world. (我很少有机会为儿童和成人推荐一本书，但《Kira and a dog named Money 》绝对是一本对你和你的父母都很重要的好书。Kira和一只名叫Money的狗，由德国金融教练Bodo Schäfer撰写，是第一本为儿童写的关于金钱的书。这本书于2000年出版，在全球销售了数百万册。)”可知，文章介绍了《Kira and a dog named Money 》这本书的主要内容、作者信息以及书中提供的理财建议，因此这是一篇书评。故选B。 9．A 10．B 11．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了诗歌比赛相关信息。 9． 细节理解题。根据Information中的“No entry fee is required for the contest.

(正确拼出所有单词，并将每行的第一个单词大写。)”可知，每行只需第一个单词大写，用大写字母打整首诗会导致取消比赛资格。故选D项。 11． 细节理解题。根据Prizes中的“one hundred third place winners of a third place gift certificate ($25.00 value). (100名三等奖得主将获得一张三等奖礼券（25美元）。)”可知，三等奖得主会获得礼品券。故选D项。 12．A 13．C 14．C 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了Patrick Bringley所著的回忆录《这世间一切的美》，这本书记录了他在纽约大都会艺术博物馆当保安时的所见所感，为“艺术欣赏”一词带来了新的意义。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution. But Bringley’s ‘guard’s-eye view’ is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity. (Bringley并不是唯一一位写过该机构的大都会艺术博物馆工作人员。但Bringley的‘保安视角’是独一无二的，他真诚地呈现了自己的个人故事。)”可知，作者独一无二的写作视角是让这本书有别于其他大都会艺术博物馆工作人员所写的书的地方。故选A项。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After his brother Tom’s death in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which ‘I was happy to be going nowhere’. (2008年，他的哥哥Tom去世后，Bringley放弃了记者的工作，转而从事一份‘我很高兴哪儿也去不了’的工作。)”可知，Bringley决定换工作是因为他心爱的哥哥去世了。故选C项。 14． 主旨大意题。根据第四段的“As interesting as these facts are, it’s Bringley’s reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute (致敬) to the power of art. I think that ‘sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work of art gives us that’.  (尽管这些事实很有趣，但Bringley对数十幅个人绘画、照片、雕塑和古代文物的反思使这本书成为对艺术力量的致敬。我认为‘有时我们需要得到许可才能停止和崇拜事物，而一件艺术品给了我们这一点’。)”以及下面具体的例子可知，本段主要讲Bringley对个人艺术作品的解读。故选C项。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley’s memoir (回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), brings new meaning to the term ‘art appreciation’. (Patrick Bringley的回忆录《这世间一切的美》讲述了他在纽约大都会艺术博物馆当保安的10年，为‘艺术欣赏’一词带来了新的含义。)”和最后一段“As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not ‘about art, but from it’ and finding peace into art. This is art appreciation at a deep level. (正如大都会艺术博物馆的珍宝一样，《这世间一切的美》充满了感人的见解，提醒我们不要‘学习艺术，而是从中学习’，以及在艺术中找到平静的重要性。这是一种深层次的艺术欣赏。)”可知，本文首尾呼应，讲述了Patrick Bringley根据自己在纽约大都会艺术博物馆当保安的10年经历写了一部回忆录《这世间一切的美》，这本书为“艺术欣赏”一词带来了新的意义，即不要学习艺术，而是要从艺术中学习，寻找艺术中的平静。由此可推测出，A项Learn from Art, Find Peac(在艺术中寻找平静)最适合作本文标题。故选A项。 16．B 17．C 18．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文介绍了亚马逊编辑团队每年评选出的20本最佳书籍的过程和其中四本被选出的书籍的简介。 16．细节理解题。根据第一段中“From there, they make a list of favorites, cutting it down from 60 to 40 and then finally to 20, during a heated debate in Seattle. (在此基础上，他们列出了最受欢迎的名单，从60个减少到40个，最后在西雅图进行激烈的辩论，减少到20个。)”和“Below are 4 of the top 20 picks of 2023, along with quotes (引述) from the editors.(以下是2023年排名前20中的4本，以及编辑们的引语)”可知，编辑们会先从60本书中挑选出40本，然后再进一步缩减到20本。因此，亚马逊编辑最终挑选出的2023年最佳书籍是20本。故选B。 17．细节理解题。根据Hello Beautiful部分中“Hello Beautiful offers big emotions, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful and so page-turning, which is why we named it the Best Book of 2023 So Far.”(《你好，美丽》提供了巨大的情感，这正是它如此强大、如此引人入胜的原因，这就是为什么我们把它评为2023年迄今为止最好的书。”)”可知，Hello Beautiful之所以脱颖而出，是因为它提供了强烈的情感，这种情感正是使这本书如此强大和引人入胜的原因。故选C。 18．推理判断题。根据King: A Life部分中“Eig’s best description of Martin Luther King Jr. is an amazing achievement of writing and research, telling the hardships and heroics of a man who changed the world. (Eig对马丁·路德·金的最佳描述是写作和研究的惊人成就，讲述了一个改变世界的人的艰辛和英雄事迹。)”可知，本书是关于马丁·路德·金的生活和奋斗历程的描述，因此它最吸引对名人生活感兴趣的人。故选D。 19．A 20．C 21．B 22．B 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了由科学记者Olive Heffernan 所著的The High Seas: Greed, Power and the Battle for the Unclaimed Ocean（《公海：贪婪、权力和争夺无人海域之战》）一书中所介绍的主题、内容等以及Heffernan对海洋未来情况的担忧。 19．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Then Heffernan devotes a chapter each to different ways people are increasingly occupying international waters, an expansion called the Blue Acceleration.”（然后，Heffernan分别用一章的篇幅讲述了人们越来越多地占领国际水域的不同方式，这种扩张被称为“蓝色加速”。）可知，人们用不同的方式不断占领国际水域，这种扩张方式就被称作“蓝色加速”。且下文列举了寻找新的渔场、在深海生物的DNA中寻找新药、探索如何提高海洋的碳吸收量以帮助减缓气候变化等方式。由此可知，“蓝色加速”指的是人类对海洋的广泛探索。故选A项。 20．推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句““The problem,” Heffernan says,“isn’t that the high seas are without any rules. Rather, organizations and bodies each use their own rulebook.””（Heffernan说:“问题不在于公海没有任何规则。相反，组织和机构各自使用自己的规则手册。”）可知，Heffernan指出问题不在于公海没有任何规则，而是各个组织和机构都使用自己的规则。由此可推断出，冲突欲望的根本原因在于缺乏一贯的全球海洋政策，导致不同国家和组织在海洋利用和保护方面采取不同的规则和措施。故选C项。 21．推理判断题。根据文章中的描述，特别是第四段第二句““Nations urging conservation in one area may push for increasing exploration in another,” Heffernan writes.”（“敦促保护一个地区的国家可能会推动对另一个地区的更多探索，”Heffernan写道。）及第四句“Nations promising to protect sea life and fighting climate change may be the same countries that support deep-sea mining, which may be harmful to life on the ocean floor.”（承诺保护海洋生物和应对气候变化的国家，可能就是支持深海采矿的国家，深海采矿可能对海底生物有害。）和最后一段第二句““We’re at a crucial crossroads.” Heffernan writes.”（“我们正处在一个关键的十字路口。”Heffernan写道。）可知，Heffernan在书中提到了人们对海洋资源需求的不断增长，以及这些需求与保护海洋健康和生物多样性之间的冲突。还提到我们正处于一个关键的十字路口，故我们需要更加可持续的平衡方式去探索海洋资源。由此可推断出，Heffernan担忧海洋过度开采带来的生态失衡的后果。故选B项。 22．推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“That is the point throughout The High Seas: Greed, Power and the Battle for the Unclaimed Ocean, a fast-paced and thoroughly reported book by science journalist Olive Heffernan.”（这就是贯穿《公海：贪婪、权力和争夺无人海域之战》的观点，这是一本由科学记者Olive Heffernan撰写的快节奏、全面报道的书。）并结合全文可知，本文概述了Olive Heffernan所著的The High Seas: Greed, Power, and the Battle for the Unclaimed Ocean一书的主题、内容和核心信息，包括人们对海洋资源的不断增长的需求，以及由此产生的冲突以及保护海洋健康和生物多样性的挑战。文章符合书评的结构特点。故选B项。 23．D 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三本儿童读物。 23．细节理解题。根据A LITTLE PRINCESS部分中“The novel tells of the story of a wealthy young girl, Sara Crewe, who is sent to a boarding school during her father’s campaign in India.(这部小说讲述了一个富有的小女孩莎拉·克鲁的故事，她在父亲在印度竞选期间被送到一所寄宿学校)”、THE SECRET GARDEN部分中“The Secret Garden is a beautiful tale of friendship, secrets and human spirits.

Here are my impressions of the movie, articulated in English: “Catch the Doll” is a masterful blend of comedy and tragedy, a film that starts with laughter but ends with a profound reflection on life's ironies. The movie, starring the iconic duo Shen Teng and Ma Li, is akin to a sugar-coated shell that initially offers the sweet taste of humor but gradually reveals the bitter pill of social satire and a probing examination of human nature. The film’s narrative is a stark portrayal of the extreme pressures and expectations placed on children by their parents. Shen Teng's character, Ma Chenggang, a wealthy businessman, and his wife, Chunlan, played by Ma Li, are the epitome of parents who are willing to go to any lengths, even to the point of deception and manipulation, to ensure their son’s success. Their approach to parenting is chilling, turning the concept of a nurturing home into a prison of expectations and control. The movie cleverly uses exaggeration to highlight the absurdity of such an extreme parenting style. Ma Chenggang’s belief in the necessity of hardship for his son's growth is a twisted interpretation of the saying, “Heaven will confer a great responsibility on a person, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil.” “Catch the Doll” also invites us to consider the broader implications of such behavior. It raises questions about the value of individual freedom and the right of children to have their own dreams and aspirations, rather than being mere tools to fulfill parental ambitions. The film serves as a mirror, reflecting the often-overlooked issues of excessive expectations, out-of-control education, and the disregard for personal value in modern society. In the end, “Catch the Doll” is not just a comedy; it’s a social commentary that provokes deep thought and self-reflection. It’s a film that, despite its humorous facade, leaves a lasting impact, urging viewers to question the nature of love, control, and the true meaning of success. The movie’s ending, which is both happy and tinged with regret, encapsulates the complex emotions that it stirs within us, reminding us that often, we spend our lives trying to heal the wounds of our childhood. 1．What is the central theme of the film “Catch the Doll”? A．The importance of parental guidance in children's success. B．The balance between humor and social issues in filmmaking. C．The paradoxical nature of extreme parenting and its impact on children. D．The journey of a child's pursuit of happiness and success. 2．In the film, the character Ma Chenggang’s parenting style is depicted as: A．Encouraging and supportive of his son’s personal aspirations. B．Strict but ultimately beneficial for his son’s character development. C．Excessive and potentially damaging to his son’s well-being. D．Indifferent and neglectful of his son’s emotional needs. 3．The film "Catch the Doll" uses the character of Ma Chenggang to: A．Critique the societal pressure on children to succeed academically. B．Advocate for a more lenient approach to parenting. C．Illustrate the potential consequences of extreme parental control.

B．Neutral, simply presenting the film’s narrative without bias. C．Admiring and appreciative of the film’s social commentary. D．Skeptical, questioning the effectiveness of the film’s message. The Mona Lisa is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the early 16th century, it has captivated audiences for centuries with its mysterious smile and masterful technique. The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and attracts millions of visitors each year. However, the Mona Lisa’s history is not without controversy. There have been numerous attempts to steal or deface the painting, and its conservation has been a subject of great concern. Leonardo da Vinci’s use of sfumato, a technique that blends colors and tones seamlessly, gives the painting a soft and hazy appearance. The sitter’s expression, which seems to change depending on the viewer’s angle and mood, adds to the intrigue of the work. 5．What is the main subject of the passage? A．The Louvre Museum.

Marty Schwartz, who is an amazing guitar teacher, showed me how to hold the guitar and then introduced how to play easy chords (和弦) to me. I quickly progressed through Beginner Lesson Series and advanced to Important Guitar Chords. Two days later, I was ready to learn more chords. I found Guitar Lessons from Howcast. There are over 140 video lessons. I spent most of the day learning chords. Every day, I added a new chord and then reviewed the ones I had learned. By the end of the first week I had learned about ten chords. By the end of the second week, I had learned about fifteen chords. The app also taught me how to play scales (音阶). I learned the Pentatonic scale and the Blues scale. At that time, I felt like I was ready to dive into some music. I also enjoyed GuitarJamz where I found more lessons from Marty Schwartz. Besides, I downloaded Blues Guitar Licks Lessons and Solo Guitar Lessons. Marty had hundreds of lessons for free on his YouTube channel. I watched, learned and experimented to see what I could do. Then, I felt that some of my favourite classic rock songs were pretty easy. As I expected, now I can play America’s A Horse with No Name — two chords, The Beatles’s Let it Be — four chords, and Cat Stevens’s Peace Train — four chords. Over the next few weeks I still watched YouTube videos and used chromatic Tuner. I also downloaded guitar sheet music through Songsterr Plus.

It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians. Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from Britain invaded America: the Beatles. Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any other musical groups before them. The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea. The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from Britain to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960’s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, Satisfaction. The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960s. His Purple Haze was liked by many people. By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, heavy metal rock, punk rock, jazz rock and glitter rock. In the middle 1970s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album Born to Run. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early 1960s. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam. 12．The main topic of this passage is___________. A．the history of American music B．the development of rock and roll music C．the famous rock and roll groups D．the new forms of rock and roll music 13．Which of the following matches is NOT true?

Later, she moved to Havana to continue her studies and played in popular Cuban bands (乐队). When first Argentine restaurant in Shanghai opened up, she came into China. It gave Chinese audiences a chance to enjoy her music. “I hesitated (犹豫) in the beginning because I didn’t think there was room for Latino (拉美) culture in a country with so much traditional culture in China,” she admitted, quickly adding, “But the advice to be a violinist in a traditional Cuban group seemed like a fantastic chance to get to know this beautiful country. So I came to China at last.” This musical journey took her all across China-touring, recording and even producing music for famous bands. Among her most memorable moments, she listed the opening of the World Expo (世博会) 2010 in Shanghai, where she had the opportunity to perform with the famous Italian musician Andrea Bocelli and other foreign artists.

At the Tate Modern gallery in London, an exhibition recently opened displaying more than 150 surrealist artworks from all around the world. Surrealism is an exciting but unusual type of art. It makes people see things in a different way and can be inspired by an artist’s dreams or by putting strange objects together in unexpected groups. Surrealism started in the 1920s in Paris, the capital of France. A French poet called André Breton wrote about it. He was very interested in the thoughts, dreams and unusual ideas artists had, rather than just life-like recreations of everyday things. One of the most famous examples from this era (时代) is German artist Max Ernst’s Two Children Are Threatened by a Nightingale. Some surrealist pieces are entertaining and perhaps even make people laugh. Many surrealist artists, though, wanted their creations to have a serious message and challenge what governments did or the way a society acted. Works have been inspired by terrible things such as wars and people being forced to leave the area or country they came from. A great example is Mayo’s Coups de Bâtons, inspired by police storming a café that was popular with artists. Surrealism usually focuses on paintings but it also involves film, literature (books and writings), music, photography, sculpture and theatre. Surrealism’s influence is still with us today in things such as funny TV adverts, computer games and unusual film scenes. If something breaks from reality in a strange and challenging way, it could be considered a type of surrealism. Salvador Dalí, a Spanish artist who lived from 1904 to 1989, is the most famous creator of surrealist art. You’ve probably seen at least one of his pieces of art because he designed the logo (标识) for Chupa Chups lollies. 19．What do we know about surrealism? A．It started with André Breton’s well-known painting. B．It has been popular for over 150 years. C．It describes daily things in a real way. D．It has its origins in France. 20．What gave Mayo the idea to create his Coups de Bâtons? A．One of his interesting dreams. B．An attack on a café by the police. C．A war starting in his motherland. D．The life after he moved to a new country. 21．What does the last paragraph mainly focus on? A．The introduction to famous surrealist artists. B．The purpose of creating surrealist art. C．The characteristics of surrealism. D．The many forms of surrealism. 22．What is the best title for the text? A．Step inside the fantastic world of surrealism B．Surrealism: a window into art history C．Surrealism: art without borders D．Meet the great surrealist artists It’s been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid, which many people consider to be his greatest one. Like all films at the time, The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound, not even the characters talking). The story is about the relationship between “the Tramp”, played by Chaplin, and his adopted (领养的) child, played by Jackie Coogan. The pair develop a partnership where the six-year-old boy breaks windows and runs away, so that Chaplin’s character can offer his services as a window fixer. Although the film is a comedy, it also has some tragedy, reflecting Chaplin’s own life. He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died. Chaplin was known for being hard to please, and it is said that if he could, he would have played every role in every one of his films. When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star (联袂主演者). Chaplin later wrote, “All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.” Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves. He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based (基于) on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. “Perhaps that’s why the film had some truth,” he said. 23．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________. A．why The Kid was made B．when The Kid was on C．how The Kid got successful D．what The Kid is about 24．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ________. A．always visited the theatre alone B．was possibly talented in acting C．knew much about Chaplin before D．played every role in Chaplin’s films 25．Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin? A．He had a poor childhood experience. B．He was brought up by his father. C．He looked after his mother very well. D．He produced films with his brother. 26．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A film about a dancer B．A family in London C．A place for film-making D．A life on film We all remember that first cry at the movies. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart-breaking stories… for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world. Actually, many great kids’ movies loaded with tragedy (悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids’ strong feelings. According to Aristotle, tragedy aids us in facing life’s unsolvable issues through sensible thought. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal (治愈). The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world. But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss. Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored. It’s important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it. So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion (缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata. 27．Why does the author mention “first cry” in paragraph 1? A．To promote a movie. B．To explain the reason. C．To support an argument. D．To introduce the topic. 28．What does the underlined phrase “Hakun a Matata” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Defining sadness as a treatment. B．Challenging oneself with tragic losses. C．Seeking knowledge to enrich life. D．Heading forward without being trapped. 29．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality. B．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for life struggles. C．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. D．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings. 30．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Are Great Kids’ Movies So Sad? B．What Is the Power of Great Kids’ Movies?

They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world.(我们都记得看电影时的第一次哭泣。无论是喜悦还是悲伤的眼泪，人类的情感都可以被屏幕上的移动图像来控制，这是非常令人惊讶的。事实上，这一切都源于一个计划。但是那些让孩子们心碎的故事呢？他们似乎没有粉饰世界的现实。)”可知， 提到“第一次哭泣”是为了引出电影如何引起观众强烈的情感反应，这为讨论悲伤的儿童电影的影响奠定了基础，因此它的作用是引出下文的话题。故选D。 28．词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored. It’s important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it.(为什么这样一部让孩子们哭泣的电影如此受人喜爱？它教给我们的是克服困难，继续前进。……！是的，《狮子王》里的那句话是要告诉孩子们，从悲剧中走出来是可以的，不要让它定义你。这是我们在很小的时候就学到的重要一课。悲伤不应该被忽视。感到悲伤是很重要的，这就是为什么这些电影如此优秀。在《小飞象》、《夏洛特的网》和《通往特拉比西亚的桥》中，我们失去了我们喜爱的角色。这让孩子们很难过，但它教会了他们接受悲伤，并从中创造出新的东西。) ”可知， “Hakuna Matata”这句话出自《狮子王》，这句话告诉孩子们，从悲剧中走出来是可以的，不要让它定义你，由此可推知，这句话表示不被悲剧性的损失或悲伤所困，要勇往直前。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata.(那么，这部悲伤的儿童电影背后传达了什么信息呢？它的目的是教会观众，尤其是孩子，获得独立，如何从悲剧中解脱出来。它就像一个缓冲垫，将故事与现实分开。它可以帮助孩子们处理悲伤的情绪，或者至少通过说Hakuna Matata来找到解脱。)”可知， 最后一段强调，悲伤的儿童电影是为了教会孩子们为生活的挣扎做好准备，如何应对悲伤和悲剧，而不是逃避现实或隐藏悲伤的情绪。因此，悲伤的儿童电影让孩子们为生活的挑战做好准备。故选B。 30．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段的“So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie?

In the Olympic torch tradition, many people carry the torch in turn from Greece to the current location of the Games. After it has traveled thousands of kilometers. The torch will light the Olympic cauldron (火炬台) at the Opening Ceremony of the next Olympic Games. French designer Mathieu Lehanneur created the torch, which is 70 centimeters long and made of lightweight steel. Lehanneur said its shape is inspired by the famous Seine River, which flows through Paris. He said the torch is equal from top to bottom and all around the middle, which stands for equality between athletes. The twisting shape of the torch represents peace. The torch was made with lightweight steel. Its lower half copies the movement of the Seine, along which the opening ceremony will take place for over 500,000 viewers. Lehanneur said he wants the torch to represent the kind of event that Paris 2024 hopes to be. “I wanted to move away from the torch appearing as an object of conquest (征服), ” Lehanneur said. He also told reporters that designing the torch was much more technical than he thought it would be. “The magic is not the torch itself, but the flame,” Lehanneur said. The torch will be lit up in Olympia, Greece on April 16,2024, followed by a nine-day torch relay before sailing across the Mediterranean Sea from Athens to Marseille in France on May 8. It will then pass through several important laces, which include Strasbourg, the Pantheon in Paris, the Mont Saint-Michel and multiple French territories. Tony Estanguet, the Paris 2024 chief, said that the torch is very, very beautiful. He also said, “It is very pure. It’s perfectly balanced in the hand.” 1．Why is the torch equal from top to bottom? A．It is easy for torch-bearers to carry. B．It is the symbol of the Seine River. C．It shows equality between players. D．It represents peace among nations. 2．What can be inferred from Lehanneur’s words? A．He wishes Paris 2024 to be the best ever. B．The torch is more important than the flame. C．He thinks highly of the torch’s appearance. D．Designing the torch is harder than he thinks. 3．How long will it take the torch to travel from Greece to France? A．Fifteen days. B．Twenty two days. C．Nine days. D．Eight days. 4．What is Tony Estanguet’s attitude to the torch? A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent. A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. The finding feels obvious and unexpected at the same time. The authors of the research, which was conducted by the University of Sussex and others, hope it will lead to “more interaction and kindness on buses”. On the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.” It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses. In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain, like many rich countries, was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why Various hypotheses (假设), such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive. Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris now also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed. 5．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A．The former study made much difference. B．Running was regarded as harmful behavior. C．Smiling at drivers can cure passengers’ diseases. D．London passengers can understand bus drivers well. 6．What does the underlined part “exercising researchers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Encouraging researchers to work out. B．Helping with researchers’ inquiry. C．Holding back researchers’ progress. D．Drawing researchers’ attention. 7．How did Morris conduct his study on the transport employees? A．By carrying out survey. B．By observing their routines. C．By doing medical examinations. D．By analyzing the medical data. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Smiling and Its Effects on London Bus Drivers. B．The Evolution of London’s Transportation System. C．How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise. D．What Londoners Think about Studies on Bus Drivers. Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise now. Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1,000 times thicker and heavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result, you can burn more calories (卡路里). In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good. But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn’t require any special skills. You don’t even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone. 9．How do most people like aquatic exercise? A．Tiring. B．Worrying. C．Challenging. D．Relaxing. 10．According to the passage, aquatic exercise is ______. A．fit for everyone B．done in groups C．done with special skills D．expensive to learn 11．What’s the purpose of writing this text? A．To compare aquatic exercise with exercise on land. B．To show the author’s love for aquatic exercise. C．To introduce a new kind of exercise. D．To teach readers how to avoid being afraid of water. 12．What is the author’s attitude towards aquatic exercise according to the text? A．Critical. B．Indifferent. C．Confused. D．Positive. From the heartland to urban parks, there was a time when baseball was the only game in the summer holidays. But with competition from other sports like soccer, baseball is not as prevalent as it used to be. However, the baseball field is still a place for young boys to prove themselves. Tim was one of those boys. His build was slight and unfinished. Some boys had the makings of athletic ability through every growth period. Tim seemed to be growing in odd ways: long arms and legs, thin shoulders, and no meat on his bones. But he loved baseball. Although strikeouts (三振出局) piled up in the recording sheets, Tim continued. He knew his body didn’t respond to dreams and wishes, but his desire was always there. Tim practiced his swing every day, and every strikeout brought two things to the little boy: determination and some tears that Tim quickly wiped away before returning to the baseball field. His teammates encouraged him. His coach worked with him. Even the opposing teams held their breath, wishing for his hitting, just one hit for the boy who seemed to deserve it more than any other 10-year-old kid in the world. What teammates and parents and even the coach never saw was a gray car that pulled up each game in the parking lot. Inside was Tim’s father, too weak from advancing cancer to get out of the car. It was a tough assignment for a father to watch his kid strike out, but for Tim’s father, he believed success was made out of sweat, tears, and effort instead of results. That was also what he expected Tim to understand and do. At the end of the season, Tim stood on the field and was as determined as ever. He did his best, but ended up missing the chance to advance. When the game was over, Tim ran straight into the gray car and into the arms of his father, who witnessed his son’s every effort and was proud of him. Sometimes success really means more than the result. 13．Which can replace the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 1? A．Challenging. B．Complicated. C．Popular. D．Competitive. 14．What does the author intend to do by describing Tim’s build? A．To compare Tim’s athletic ability with others. B．To emphasize Tim was too young to play the game. C．To pave the way for Tim’s poor family background. D．To show Tim has few physical advantages in the sport. 15．What does the way Tim’s team and opponents treated him suggest? A．Tim held the whole team back. B．Tim’s efforts won others’ respect. C．Tim’s slow progress brought hope to his opponents. D．Tim touched his coach with his excellent performance. 16．What can be concluded about Tim’s father? A．He felt disappointed at Tim’s strikeouts. B．He was an open-minded father. C．His expectations of Tim were beyond Tim’s ability. D．His distant watching was to avoid a mental burden on Tim. 17．What life lesson does the author mainly convey to us? A．Easier said than done. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．One false step makes a great difference. D．Success is a journey rather than a destination. As Franklin D．Roosevelt once said, “a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. ”This certainly applies to New York-born competitive sailor Cole Brauer, the first American woman to competitively sail solo (独自) around the world. Her calm personality and rich knowledge of the sport are the perfect recipe for success, as Brauer serves as a leading figure in this industry. The 29-year-old began the Global Solo Challenge departing from A Coruna, Spain, in October 2023. Finally, she made her way back to land in March 2024, aboard her boat named First Light. This competition is for sailors who desire a challenge to sail around the sea, sharpening their skills with each wave they leave behind them. Throughout her months at sea, Brauer was not frightened by the wildly unpredictable behaviors of Mother Nature. She worked tirelessly towards achieving her incredible achievement. Along the way, the determined competitor recorded her 130-day journey at sea on Instagram. In addition to documenting her experiences, Brauer also educated her viewers on various sailing terms and the application of different sailing techniques. For example, she references the term “reefing” the sail. This means to lower your sail to accommodate increases in wind, allowing the boat to maintain a manageable speed that allows its captain to have more controlled steering (驾驶) . As a former student of the University of Hawaii, Brauer achieved many academic and athletic achievements. From earning the 2017 Jack Bonham Award for academic and athletic performance to being a part of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association Academic All-American Team twice, she continued to raise the bar. And with this latest challenge, Brauer had opportunities to improve her skills in the unique backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. As she sailed from Spain to South Africa and Australia, Brauer finally crossed the Atlantic Ocean back to her starting point — A Coruna. Her dedicated spirit, enthusiasm for life, and desire to inspire young women to pursue their dreams shone through her expedition. 18．What’s the key to Brauer’s success? A．Her good luck and previous experience. B．Her academic background and desire for success. C．Her willingness to challenge and love for adventure. D．Her calm personality and deep understanding of sailing. 19．What did Brauer do during the competition? A．She doubted her sailing skills occasionally. B．She documented her sea journey on Instagram. C．She predicted behaviors of Mother Nature successfully. D．She controlled the speed based on viewers' techniques. 20．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

Tourists come in flocks from all parts of China to Rongjiang, a small county in a remote mountainous area, which has recently become popular for its “Village Super League”, creating a spectacular sports carnival in China. During a match in May, Wu Chuguo, a decoration worker from Liubaitang village, Rongjiang County, scored a spectacular 40-meter goal that ignited (点燃) the crowd. Wu said he was influenced by elders in his village and fell in love with the sport. In the county, rural soccer matches have taken place regularly since the 1990s. When there was a lack of facilities, soccer players used barren land as a field and wooden stakes for the posts. The boundaries were marked out with lime powder. When they couldn't gather enough players, they played futsal, a soccer-based game played on a smaller hard court. In recent years, the county has focused on gymnastics, soccer, rock climbing and other sports. What sets the Village Super League apart from other sports events are the vivid displays of ethnic cultures and traditions at the tournament. As players of both teams walk on the field for a game, they are accompanied by their cheering squads (啦啦队) dressed in traditional ethnic costumes and carrying local specialties. The halftime break features folk songs and dance performances, while ethnic costumes are also on display. “hope that more and more tourists will come to Rongjiang to watch the matches, enjoy the folk customs and local cuisine, and have fun,” said Xiong Zhuqing, a melon grower who is also a cheerleader. She says she has sold over 10,000 kilograms of watermelons since the start of the tournament. As of June 27, a total of 654 new businesses were established, including 91 in the catering sector, 188 in retail, and 195 in agriculture and food processing, the local government said. 28．What can we know about the rural soccer match?

(他还告诉记者，设计火炬比他想象的要技术性得多)”可知，设计火炬比他想象的要复杂得多，因此可以推断出设计火炬比他想象的要难。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“The torch will be lit up in Olympia, Greece on April 16, 2024, followed by a nine-day torch relay before sailing across the Mediterranean Sea from Athens to Marseille in France on May 8.( 火炬将于2024年4月16日在希腊奥林匹亚点燃，随后进行为期九天的火炬传递活动，然后于5月8日从雅典出发，跨越地中海抵达法国马赛)”可知，火炬将于2024年4月16日在希腊奥林匹亚点燃，然后进行为期9天的火炬接力，于5月8日从雅典穿越地中海抵达法国马赛。因此，火炬从希腊到法国的旅程将耗时22天。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tony Estanguet, the Paris 2024 chief, said that the torch is very, very beautiful. He also said, “It is very pure. It’s perfectly balanced in the hand.”(2024年巴黎奥运会的负责人托尼·埃斯坦盖表示，火炬非常、非常漂亮。他还说：“它非常纯净。握在手中感觉非常平衡。”)”可知，巴黎2024年奥运会负责人Tony Estanguet认为火炬非常美丽，非常纯净，手感完美平衡。因此，他对火炬的态度是肯定的。故选A项。 5．A 6．D 7．D 8．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了伦敦公交车司机是如何改变世界，并导致运动的发明。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. (20世纪40年代，一项针对伦敦运输工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式)”可知，20世纪40年代的那项研究影响很大，故选A项。 6．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. (剑桥大学流行病学教授Nick Wareham表示，健康和运动有关的观点“在当时并不是我们今天所知道的公认事实”。一些人甚至认为“过多的体育活动对你的健康有害”。从事体育锻炼的矿工和农民也会患上各种疾病，英年早逝)”可知，当时认为锻炼会对健康有害，即锻炼没有引起研究人员的注意。故划线词意思是“引起研究人员的注意”。A. Encouraging researchers to work out鼓励研究人员锻炼身体；B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry协助研究人员进行调查；C. Holding back researchers’ progress阻碍研究人员的进步；D. Drawing researchers’ attention引起研究人员的注意。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. ( 这时，一位名叫杰里·莫里斯的年轻医生开始怀疑，心脏病导致的超额死亡人数可能与职业有关。他开始研究31000名伦敦运输工人的医疗记录。)”可知，杰里·莫里斯医生通过分析运输工人的医疗记录展开研究，故选D项。 8．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses. (一份关于伦敦公交车的报告似乎不太可能改变人们的行为。但这种情况以前也发生过。伦敦的公共汽车在医学科学史上的作用被低估了。20世纪40年代，一项针对伦敦交通工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式。每当你跑步、检查步数、或走楼梯而不是乘电梯时，你都是在追随伦敦公共汽车上工人们的脚步)”可知，文章主要说明了伦敦公共汽车上的工人曾经改变了人们如今的生活方式，曾经人们认为锻炼有害身体，结果对工人的研究发现锻炼使人保持活力。可知，C选项“How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise. (伦敦巴士司机如何引领世界运动)”最符合题意。故选C。 9．D 10．A 11．C 12．D 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一种新的锻炼方式：水上运动。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water.(事实上，大多数人说他们在水里感觉更放松。)”可知，大多数人觉得水上运动令人感到轻松，故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn’t require any special skills. You don’t even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.(水上运动既安全又易学。它不需要任何特殊技能。你甚至不需要知道如何游泳。水上运动适合每个人。)”可知，水上运动适合每个人。故选A。 11．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise now.(水上运动和陆地上的运动很像，只不过是在游泳池里。现在越来越多的人尝试水上运动。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种新的锻炼方式：水上运动，因此本文的目的是介绍一种新的运动。故选C。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn’t require any special skills. You don’t even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.(水上运动既安全又易学。它不需要任何特殊技能。你甚至不需要知道如何游泳。水上运动适合每个人。)”可知，作者对水上运动的态度是积极的，故选D。 13．C 14．D 15．B 16．B 17．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了瘦小的男孩Tim热爱棒球，虽然经常三振出局，但他坚持练习，赢得了团队及对手的尊重。Tim的父亲因病在车里默默支持他，一直相信成功在于努力而非结果。赛季结束时，Tim虽未晋级，但父亲为他付出的努力感到骄傲。文章指出，成功的真正含义在于过程中的努力和坚持。 13．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“From the heartland to urban parks, there was a time when baseball was the only game in the summer holidays. But with competition from other sports like soccer(从中心地带到城市公园，曾经有一段时间棒球是暑假里唯一的运动。但面对其他运动的竞争，比如足球)”和下文“as it used to be(就像以前一样)”可知，棒球曾经非常受欢迎，随着其他运动的竞争，会不再那么受欢迎，画线词的意思应该是“受欢迎的，流行的”，与Popular意思一致。故选C项。 14．推理判断题。根据第二段中“His build was slight and unfinished. Some boys had the makings of athletic ability through every growth period. Tim seemed to be growing in odd ways: long arms and legs, thin shoulders, and no meat on his bones.(他身材瘦小，尚未长好。有些男孩在每个成长阶段都具有运动能力的体格。Tim似乎在以奇怪的方式成长：长长的胳膊和腿，瘦削的肩膀，骨头上没有肉)”可知，Tim身材瘦小，四肢纤细，不像其他男孩那样具有运动能力的体格。因此，作者通过这段描述是想说明Tim在这项运动中没有什么身体上的优势。故选D项。 15．推理判断题。根据第三段“Tim practiced his swing every day, and every strikeout brought two things to the little boy: determination and some tears that Tim quickly wiped away before returning to the baseball field. His teammates encouraged him. His coach worked with him. Even the opposing teams held their breath, wishing for his hitting, just one hit for the boy who seemed to deserve it more than any other 10-year-old kid in the world.(Tim每天都练习挥杆，每次三振都给这个小男孩带来两样东西：决心和眼泪，Tim在回到棒球场前迅速擦干眼泪。他的队友鼓励他。他的教练和他一起训练。就连对方球队都屏住呼吸，希望他能命中，只要一个命中，这个男孩似乎比世界上任何一个10岁的孩子都更值得命中)”可知，Tim的队友、教练都支持他，甚至对方球队都希望他能命中，觉得他值得一个命中。由此推知，Tim不懈的努力赢得了别人的尊重。故选B项。 16．推理判断题。根据第四段中“It was a tough assignment for a father to watch his kid strike out, but for Tim’s father, he believed success was made out of sweat, tears, and effort instead of results. That was also what he expected Tim to understand and do.(看着自己的孩子三振出局对一个父亲来说是一项艰巨的任务，但对Tim的父亲来说，他相信成功是由汗水、眼泪和努力组成的，而不是结果。这也是他希望Tim能理解和做到的)”和最后一段中“He did his best, but ended up missing the chance to advance. When the game was over, Tim ran straight into the gray car and into the arms of his father, who witnessed his son’s every effort and was proud of him.(他尽了最大的努力，但最终还是失去了晋级的机会。比赛结束后，Tim径直跑进那辆灰色的汽车，投入父亲的怀抱，父亲见证了儿子的每一次努力，并为他感到骄傲)”可知，Tim的父亲相信成功在于过程中付出的汗水、眼泪和努力，希望儿子可以明白这个道理，虽然Tim最后还是失败了，但他为儿子感到骄傲。由此可知，他是一个思想开明的父亲。故选B项。 17．推理判断题。根据第四段中“It was a tough assignment for a father to watch his kid strike out, but for Tim’s father, he believed success was made out of sweat, tears, and effort instead of results.(看着自己的孩子三振出局对一个父亲来说是一项艰巨的任务，但对Tim的父亲来说，他相信成功是由汗水、眼泪和努力组成的，而不是结果)”和最后一段中“Sometimes success really means more than the result.(有时候，成功不仅仅意味着结果)”可推知，作者想通过Tim不懈努力训练，在过程中拼尽全力的故事告诉我们：成功是一段旅程，而不是终点。故选D项。 18．D 19．B 20．B 21．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了一位名叫Cole Brauer的美国女性帆船运动员，她是第一位独自完成环球航行的美国女性。她在航海过程中展现了冷静的个性和丰富的航海知识，成为了这一行业的佼佼者。她在航海过程中不断挑战自己，提升技能，并通过社交媒体分享自己的经历，教育观众有关航海的术语和技术。 18．细节理解题。根据第一段“Her calm personality and rich knowledge of the sport are the perfect recipe for success, as Brauer serves as a leading figure in this industry.

(一路上，这位意志坚定的选手在Instagram上记录了她130天的海上旅程。)”可知，在整个比赛中，Brauer在Instagram上记录了自己的海上之旅。故选B项。 20．推理判断题。根据第三段“And with this latest challenge, Brauer had opportunities to improve her skills in the unique backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.(通过这次最新的挑战，Brauer有机会在太平洋的独特背景下提高自己的技能。)”可以推测，ColeBrauer在航行中提高了航海技能。故选B项。 21．主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段“The 29-year-old began the Global Solo Challenge departing from A Coruna, Spain, in October 2023. Finally, she made her way back to land in March 2024, aboard her boat named First Light. This competition is for sailors who desire a challenge to sail around the sea, sharpening their skills with each wave they leave behind them.(这位29岁的选手于2023年10月从西班牙拉科鲁尼亚出发，开始了全球单人挑战赛。最后，她于2024年3月乘坐名为‘第一之光’的船返回陆地。这项比赛是为那些渴望挑战绕海航行的水手们举办的，他们会随着身后的每一次海浪磨练自己的技能。)”可知，文章主要围绕Cole Brauer独自环球航行的经历展开，她是第一位独自完成环球航行的美国女性。故C项Sailing around the World(环游世界)适合作为本文的标题。故选C项。 22．D 23．B 24．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2024年视频竞赛的详情，面向建筑学专业学生，聚焦AI建筑设计，强调原创视频内容，规定提交截止日期及评审标准。 22．细节理解题。根据第一段的“The 2024 Video Competition, centering on the theme of “Artificial Intelligence Architectural Design”, is open to architectural design students.(2024年视频大赛以“人工智能建筑设计”为主题，面向建筑设计专业的学生)”可知，这次比赛的目标是建筑设计专业的学生。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据SUBMISSION THEMES标题下的三个问题“What is the potential impact of AI on the future of the architectural design profession?  How can AI be combined into the design process to enhance creativity?  How might AI-driven design systems work with human designers, and what is the future of AI-human design partnerships in the industry?(人工智能对建筑设计行业未来的潜在影响是什么？如何将人工智能结合到设计过程中以增强创造力？人工智能驱动的设计系统如何与人类设计师合作，人工智能与人类设计合作伙伴关系在行业中的未来如何？)”可知，“我们如何运用想象力来推动设计？”并不涉及人工智能的主题，因此是不符合要求的主题。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据VIDEO REQUIREMENTS标题下的“The video must be between 1-3 minutes in length.(视频长度必须在1-3分钟之间)”可知，视频有时长限制。故选A。 25．B 26．A 27．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述一些保持健康的家庭锻炼方法。 25．细节理解题。由Yoga中“Yoga combines breathing techniques, meditation (冥想) and different poses designed to encourage relaxation and reduce stress.(瑜伽结合了呼吸技巧、冥想和不同的姿势，旨在鼓励放松和减轻压力。)”可知，如果你有压力，你应该试试瑜伽。故选B项。 26．细节理解题。由Pilates中“Unlike some types of exercises, Pilates won’t over-develop some parts of the body and ignore others.
