A Japanese company says that it will allow the user to be energetic in just 20 minutes. Inside the box are four points to help the body stand. That means he can rest his arms, legs and head in the box while still remaining standing, just like a giraffe. “Seeing” the world in animals’ eyes Do you want to know what the world is like in the eyes of animals? A team of scientists has made a special camera. It uses the technology of photography (成像) to “see” lights at different lengths. This includes lights that we can’t see with our eyes, while animals can see them. This way, the camera can record videos as if through the eyes of animals. __________ Researchers in Australia have made a tool that can recreate a special glove with groups of 3D force sensors (力传感器). If your friend wearing the glove picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. The force signals can be sent to your glove, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend. 1．The Giraffenap is used to ________.

A Japanese company says that it will allow the user to be energetic in just 20 minutes.”可知，Giraffenap用于帮助人们更好地休息和工作。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“‘Seeing’ the world in animals’ eyes”下面的“A team of scientists has made a special camera. It uses the technology of photography (成像) to ‘see’ lights at different lengths. This includes lights that we can’t see with our eyes, while animals can see them.”可知，这种特殊的相机使用成像技术来帮助我们“看到”看不见的光。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据下文“Researchers in Australia have made a tool that can recreate a special glove with groups of 3D force sensors (力传感器). If your friend wearing the glove picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. The force signals can be sent to your glove, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.”可知，此处介绍了一款特殊的手套，如果你戴手套的朋友拿起一个物体，力信号可以发送到你的手套上，让你体验到与朋友相同的触觉，所以C项“手套的神奇触感”符合。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍三款科技产品，第一款产品用于帮助人们更好地休息和工作，第二款产品可以帮助我们看到动物可以看到的光，第三款产品可以让你感受同样的触觉经历，所以这三款产品使生活变得有趣。故选C。 （B） Jordyn Perez was about to turn 8 years old when her mom suggested a new way to celebrate her birthday. “How about giving away your gifts to a children’s hospital?” her mom said. Jordyn thought about the idea. She already had everything she needed, and these kids in hospital were going through some difficulties. They probably needed gifts more than she did. “Okay, that sounds cool,” she finally said. Now a student in high school, Jordyn continues to bring joy to kids with serious illnesses. This year, she has made her eighth yearly birthday-gift donation (捐赠) to Baptist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio. Kids can be in the hospital for lots of reasons. In the US, asthma (哮喘) is a top reason for younger children. Whatever the patient’s age or illness, a hospital stay can be stressful. Efforts like Jordyn’s are sunshine during a difficult time. Jordyn’s gift-giving project begins each year in November. When she sends her friends invitations to her birthday party, she includes a list of gift ideas for kids at the hospital. For the youngest patients, gifts might include building blocks or toy trains. “And for the teenagers,” Jordyn says, “it might be nail polish or books.” Natalie Gutierrez, a worker at Baptist Children’s Hospital, has seen the influence of Jordyn’s gift-giving. “She puts smiles on the faces of these young patients in our hospital and on our nurses,” Gutierrez says. “They are all amazed at her beneficence at such a young age.” Jordyn’s efforts to help kids in the hospital have influenced others a lot. Friends have given away gifts for their birthdays too. And Jordyn says her 11-year-old twin sisters help animals at the Humane Society. “Giving to others, it’s just a good feeling to have at the end of the day,” Jordyn says. “I want to keep doing this as long as I can.” 5．Which paragraph tells us the meaning of Jordyn’s action? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 6．What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A．Jordyn is 15 years old now. B．Jordyn was cool in the past. C．Jordyn didn’t like her gifts at all. D．Jordyn refused to give away gifts at first. 7．What does the underlined word “beneficence” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Courage. B．Kindness. C．Popularity. D．Independence. 8．Which could be the best title for the passage? A．Begin Early, Succeed Early B．Think Often, Practice Often C．Do Good, Feel Good D．Smile Much, Achieve Much 【答案】5．D 6．A 7．B 8．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了Jordyn Perez在妈妈的提议下，把自己的生日礼物捐给了儿童医院。 5．细节理解题。根据“Efforts like Jordyn’s are sunshine during a difficult time.”可知，像Jordyn这样的努力是困难时期的阳光。所以第四段讲了Jordny行为的意义。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据“Jordyn Perez was about to turn 8 years old when her mom suggested a new way to celebrate her birthday”及“This year, she has made her eighth yearly birthday-gift donation”可知，8岁第一次捐赠，第八年捐赠是15岁，故选A。 7．词义猜测题。根据“Natalie Gutierrez, a worker at Baptist Children’s Hospital, has seen the influence of Jordyn’s gift-giving.”及“They are all amazed at her beneficence at such a young age.”可知，“Jordyn捐礼物”体现的是善良，所以划线单词意为“善良”，故选B。 8．最佳标题题。根据“Giving to others, it’s just a good feeling to have at the end of the day”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了Jordyn Perez在妈妈的提议下，把自己的生日礼物捐给了儿童医院，既帮助了别人，也给自己带来了美好的感受，所以C选项“做好事，感觉良好”符合。故选C。 （C） Many people say that they are working too many hours, they don’t have enough time to relax or stay with their family. Working hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,482 hours a year at work. In Mexico, however, people work about 2,246 hours a year. That means a Mexican worker works more than 700 hours a year than a French worker. Why do people work so many hours? Some people work more hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies (公司) don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty (责任) to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours. Many people say their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany they get four to six weeks, and in the US, two weeks. One study shows less than half of workers use all their vacation days. There is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy.” If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world. 9．Many people think they don’t have enough time to ________.

Some people work more hours because...”可知第三段主要讲述了人们工作时间长的原因。故选C。 12．推理判断题。根据“One study shows less than half of workers use all their vacation days.”可知不足一半的人使用他们全部的假期，即有些人在假期要工作，故选D。 （D） In your school, are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn? Of course, the answer is “No” here in China. In America, there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida, students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college, while others will not. At this school, students are able to find subjects they are interested in, and possibly even find the field (领域) they would like to go into after school. They are allowed to choose subjects like biology and math, learn a foreign language, or study skills like computer or car repair. Some people think this is a good idea, because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future, and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there. They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. But others disagree. They think that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know what they will want to do in the future. Would you like to be able to choose your own classes? Many useful changes have been made in education, but seeing the differences in each student is also important. How can we help each student become a better student? 13．Students at a high school in Florida are allowed to ________.

They think that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know what they will want to do in the future.”可知，有些人不同意学生应该选择自己的课程，因为他们认为有些学生还不够大，不知道将来想做什么。故选D。 16．最佳标题题。阅读全文可知，本文首先介绍了佛罗里达一所中学提供的一种全新的教育方式，学生能够自己选择需要学习的科目课程，之后介绍了不同人士对这一做法的不同意见，主要介绍的是一种全新的教育方式。故选B。 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 The Secrets of Happiness Everyone wants to be happy, but not everyone knows how to keep happy. Money and success cannot keep happiness forever. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we decide our own happiness. Here is some advice to help you become and stay happy. 17 We spend so much time planning our future, for example, entering a college or hunting for a good job—that we don’t have the time to enjoy the present (现在). You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as watching a movie, listening to your favorite songs or spending time with close friends. 18 Another secret to leading a happy life is to become active. Having hobbies can help you forget your problems. Many people experience this by joining a club or taking part in a sport, such as skating or soccer. 19 Finally, many people find happiness when they are helping others. According to studies, people feel happy when they volunteer their time to give others a hand. 20 You can help a friend with his or her lessons, go shopping to buy something for your family members, or simply help by doing some cleaning around the house. A．If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. B．The first secret of happiness is to enjoy a simple life. C．People who have several close friends live happier and healthier lives.

You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures...”可知，我们花这么多时间规划未来，比如进入大学或寻找一份好工作，以至于我们没有时间去享受现在，因此我们应该学会享受当下生活中简单的快乐，这是提升幸福感的第一个建议，因此选项B“幸福的第一秘诀是享受简单的生活。”符合语境。故选B。 18．根据“You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as watching a movie, listening to your favorite songs or spending time with close friends.”可知，这里提到了与亲密朋友共度时光，享受生活简单的快乐，因此选项C“拥有几个亲密朋友的人活得更快乐、更健康。” 符合语境。故选C。 19．根据“ Another secret to leading a happy life is to become active. ... Many people experience this by joining a club or taking part in a sport, such as skating or soccer.”可知，这里提到了通过运动来忘记问题是提升幸福感的另外一种方法，因此选项D“你可以忘记你的问题，只专注于活动。”符合语境。故选D。 20．根据“ Finally, many people find happiness when they are helping others. According to studies, people feel happy when they volunteer their time to give others a hand.”可知，这里提到了通过帮助他人来感到幸福，因此选项A“如果你想要感到更快乐，就为别人做些好事。”符合语境。故选A。 二、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D匹四个选项中出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There was a boy in India who was sent to a boarding school by his parents. 21 being sent away this boy was the best student in his class. 22 the boy changed when he went to the boarding school.His grades started dropping.He 23 being in a group.He was lonely all the time.And sometimes he even felt like killing 24 .All of this was because he felt no one loved him.

A Japanese company says that it will allow the user to be energetic in just 20 minutes. Inside the box are four points to help the body stand. That means he can rest his arms, legs and head in the box while still remaining standing, just like a giraffe. “Seeing” the world in animals’ eyes Do you want to know what the world is like in the eyes of animals? A team of scientists has made a special camera. It uses the technology of photography (成像) to “see” lights at different lengths. This includes lights that we can’t see with our eyes, while animals can see them. This way, the camera can record videos as if through the eyes of animals. __________ Researchers in Australia have made a tool that can recreate a special glove with groups of 3D force sensors (力传感器). If your friend wearing the glove picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers.

Jordyn thought about the idea. She already had everything she needed, and these kids in hospital were going through some difficulties. They probably needed gifts more than she did. “Okay, that sounds cool,” she finally said. Now a student in high school, Jordyn continues to bring joy to kids with serious illnesses. This year, she has made her eighth yearly birthday-gift donation (捐赠) to Baptist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio. Kids can be in the hospital for lots of reasons. In the US, asthma (哮喘) is a top reason for younger children. Whatever the patient’s age or illness, a hospital stay can be stressful. Efforts like Jordyn’s are sunshine during a difficult time. Jordyn’s gift-giving project begins each year in November. When she sends her friends invitations to her birthday party, she includes a list of gift ideas for kids at the hospital. For the youngest patients, gifts might include building blocks or toy trains. “And for the teenagers,” Jordyn says, “it might be nail polish or books.” Natalie Gutierrez, a worker at Baptist Children’s Hospital, has seen the influence of Jordyn’s gift-giving. “She puts smiles on the faces of these young patients in our hospital and on our nurses,” Gutierrez says. “They are all amazed at her beneficence at such a young age.” Jordyn’s efforts to help kids in the hospital have influenced others a lot. Friends have given away gifts for their birthdays too. And Jordyn says her 11-year-old twin sisters help animals at the Humane Society. “Giving to others, it’s just a good feeling to have at the end of the day,” Jordyn says. “I want to keep doing this as long as I can.” 5．Which paragraph tells us the meaning of Jordyn’s action? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 6．What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A．Jordyn is 15 years old now. B．Jordyn was cool in the past. C．Jordyn didn’t like her gifts at all. D．Jordyn refused to give away gifts at first. 7．What does the underlined word “beneficence” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Courage. B．Kindness. C．Popularity. D．Independence. 8．Which could be the best title for the passage? A．Begin Early, Succeed Early B．Think Often, Practice Often C．Do Good, Feel Good D．Smile Much, Achieve Much （C） Many people say that they are working too many hours, they don’t have enough time to relax or stay with their family. Working hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,482 hours a year at work. In Mexico, however, people work about 2,246 hours a year. That means a Mexican worker works more than 700 hours a year than a French worker. Why do people work so many hours? Some people work more hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies (公司) don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty (责任) to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours. Many people say their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany they get four to six weeks, and in the US, two weeks. One study shows less than half of workers use all their vacation days. There is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy.” If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world. 9．Many people think they don’t have enough time to ________. A．work in their companies B．make more money C．relax themselves D．find a better job 10．People in Mexico ________ people in France a year. A．work longer time than B．work shorter time than C．work as much time as D．make more money than 11．What’s the third paragraph mainly about? A．Longer and longer w king time. B．More working hours without more pay. C．The reasons why people work many hours. D．Different working hours in different countries. 12．From the last paragraph we can learn that ________. A．people get no money for their vacations B．there are many dull people in the world C．many workers have fun with their vacations D．some people have to work in their vacation days （D） In your school, are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn? Of course, the answer is “No” here in China. In America, there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida, students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college, while others will not. At this school, students are able to find subjects they are interested in, and possibly even find the field (领域) they would like to go into after school. They are allowed to choose subjects like biology and math, learn a foreign language, or study skills like computer or car repair. Some people think this is a good idea, because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future, and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there. They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. But others disagree. They think that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know what they will want to do in the future. Would you like to be able to choose your own classes? Many useful changes have been made in education, but seeing the differences in each student is also important. How can we help each student become a better student? 13．Students at a high school in Florida are allowed to ________. A．go to college without taking big exams B．find a part-time job they would like to do C．learn how to make a computer or a car D．choose subjects that they are interested in 14．Some people think allowing students to choose their own classes helps them ________.

A．some students are too nervous to make a right decision B．some students shouldn’t be a repair worker in the future C．some students care little about their own future D．some students aren’t old enough to know what they want to do in the future 16．What is the best title of the passage? A．Chinese education B．A new way of education C．To change our education D．To improve learning skills 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 The Secrets of Happiness Everyone wants to be happy, but not everyone knows how to keep happy. Money and success cannot keep happiness forever. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we decide our own happiness. Here is some advice to help you become and stay happy. 17 We spend so much time planning our future, for example, entering a college or hunting for a good job—that we don’t have the time to enjoy the present (现在). You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as watching a movie, listening to your favorite songs or spending time with close friends. 18 Another secret to leading a happy life is to become active. Having hobbies can help you forget your problems. Many people experience this by joining a club or taking part in a sport, such as skating or soccer. 19 Finally, many people find happiness when they are helping others. According to studies, people feel happy when they volunteer their time to give others a hand. 20 You can help a friend with his or her lessons, go shopping to buy something for your family members, or simply help by doing some cleaning around the house. A．If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. B．The first secret of happiness is to enjoy a simple life. C．People who have several close friends live happier and healthier lives. D．You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. E．The secret of happiness is to be friends with someone who is happier. 二、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D匹四个选项中出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There was a boy in India who was sent to a boarding school by his parents. 21 being sent away this boy was the best student in his class. 22 the boy changed when he went to the boarding school.His grades started dropping.He 23 being in a group.He was lonely all the time.And sometimes he even felt like killing 24 .All of this was because he felt no one loved him.

I’ve always been hoping to get a medal (奖牌) for China. Finally, I made it. I am also surprised at this gold medal,” Zheng said after her win. From 2020 to 2024 Zheng’s world ranking (排名) jumped from over 600 to 7. Her performance with patience and control of energy in matches has won her the title of “Queen Wen” among fans. “I love my fans for giving me this title, honestly, because it fits my character well. You need to show yourself as queen the court (球场), because you need this energy, this power to show that you are the best,” Zheng told China Daily. Playing for China at the Olympics gave Zheng power. She made her way to success after surviving (挺过) tiring matches that went on for three hours. “What I can be sure of is that I’m going to fight until the last moment, because I’m not only playing for myself. I’m playing for my country,” Zheng told China Daily. This great success is just the start of a new journey for Zheng. A few days after her Olympic victory, she took part in the Cincinnati Open but lost to Russian player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in a third-round match. “I was proud to win the Olympic gold, but it’s time to forget it and start over again. If I think too much about my past achievements, I won’t play my next match well,” Zheng said. 41．In which game did Zheng Qinwen win for China at the Paris Olympics? 42．Why do Zheng’s fans call her “Queen Wen”? 43．How can Zheng Qinwen play her next matches well? 44．What can you learn from Zheng Qinwen? 五、书面表达 (共1小题， 满分20分) 45. 某英语报开展“How to Deal with Our Study Problems”征文比赛，请你根据提示的内容，简要描述并适当发表自己的观点，写一篇英语短文。内容要点如下： 1. 虽然我们时常感到压力，但是应该找到合适的方式来解决压力。例如…… 2. 我们应该足够细心，因为“失之毫厘，谬以千里”； 3. 也应该在课业和业余爱好之间取得平衡； 4. 任何时候都不要失去信心。因为…… 5. 有问题时，我们…… 要求：1. 内容须包含所有要点，语句通顺，意思连贯； 2. 词数90个左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 第5点的内容需展开合理想象，用2-3句话 How to Deal with Our Study Problems We students always have a lot of problems with our schoolwork. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 答案第10页，共10页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
