Growing up in Nigeria, Sunday Agbonika raised a pet dog, which was unusual in the 2000s, let alone having a trained dog in the countryside. But he did everything with his dog and trained it regularly, which inspired him to learn more about how animals could help people.
One day, he came across a video by Nathan Selove, who gave talks about living with autism (自闭症). In the video, Selove explained how he struggled with school and was often bullied (欺负). But after getting a service dog, his grades and relationships improved.
The idea that his background with animals could help support children like Selove struck Agbonika. So he planned to visit the US to take a dog- learning course, but he was denied a visa. He turned to another way to learn. He read as many books as he could and watched a lot of videos. By the time he learned enough knowledge about how animals could help a person’s well- being, he was qualified to work as a dog trainer. When he worked in a pet store, he also took in dogs from clients and trained them in person.
The first challenge he met was reaching children who could benefit from animal- assisted therapy. He tried connecting with centers that worked with these children, but only two loved the idea. They gave him the chance to run a trial to see if it would work. He ended up getting remarkable results, which let him get the message out there. Many centers started showing interest.
Later Agbonika ran the Dogalov HumAn Support Initiative. In 2019 Agbonika received the Fellowship for Young African Leaders, a program which selects 700 Africans to go to various universities in the US to learn leadership and team- building skills each year. The fellowship helped him build a relationship with the international community. And more and more people are now getting to see the work he’s doing and are more willing to hear what he has to say.
24. What phenomenon was described in Nigeria in the 2000s?
A. Having a trained dog was rare in a family. B. Pets were seen as people’s companions.
C. Raising animals in the family was strange. D. Pet dogs were common in the country.
25. What did the video by Nathan Selove show?
A. He struggled to make ends meet. B. He was cured of autism successfully.
C. He owed his improvement to a service dog. D. He inspired people to use pets to treat autism.
26. How did Agbonika get the qualification of working as a dog trainer?
A. He took dog- learning courses in the US. B. He adopted dogs from clients to train them.
C. He taught himself through books and videos. D. He received training from some animal centers.
27. How did the Fellowship for Young African Leaders help Agbonika?
A. It helped him become a leader. B. It raised funds for his program.
C. It allowed him to do research abroad. D. It exposed his idea to more people.

During Yang Zhongkai’s early years, a 500-year-old majestic ginkgo (银杏) tree that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for him on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded the tree as having the power to make their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it, which led to prolonged heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, who started the team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees. “But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets (电子表格), which present issues such as information silos, lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However things have changed of late. Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately based on individual traits and GPS tracking. “With the acceleration of a new generation of technological revolution and industrial transformation, new technologies bring more excitement to the protection of ancient trees,” Yang said. “We can now collect data on the trees’ growth, health and environment in real time, which helps us make informed decisions on how to better protect them.”
“In addition to applying cutting-edge technologies such as AI and large models to assist in the development of traditional industries, the company also makes great efforts to promote the development of charitable causes through technological and platform advantages,” Wu. Yunsheng said, vice-president of Tencent Cloud, adding that “the power of technology can change the world”.
28. What does the underlined word “stunting” in paragraph I probably mean?
A. Preventing. B. Boosting. C. Keeping. D. Recording.
29. What can we infer about Tencent Cloud’s new technology?
A. It will replace Excel spreadsheets in the future.
B. It is an effective tool to protect ancient trees.
C. It will be widely used in modern industries.
D. It has remarkable advantages over other AI.
30. What is Wu Yunsheng’s attitude towards the application of technology?
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
31. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To emphasize the importance of technology.
B. To show technology’s aid to ancient trees.
C. To introduce Tencent Cloud’s new function.
D. To arouse the awareness of protecting trees.
D
As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It’s called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don’t you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games? I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.
32. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2?
A. The video replay has been widely used.
B. League games have become competitive.
C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.
D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.
33. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Tricking. B. Promoting. C. Damaging. D. Restoring.
34 What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game?
A. They relied a lot on the video replay.
B. They cared too much about details.
C. They were definitely stressed out.
D. They were terribly disqualified.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Video replays: high-end technology in sports
B. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports?
C. Officiating: a duty that requires honesty
D. What do qualified referees really mean?

Sophia had always been the shyest girl in her class. She preferred to stay in the background, rarely speaking up and avoiding attention at all costs. Her teachers often encouraged her to participate more, but Sophia felt more comfortable being unnoticed. She admired those who could confidently share their thoughts, yet never believed she could be one of them.
One day, the class was assigned a group project in science, and each group needed to create a presentation on a major technological advancement from China. Sophia’s group couldn’t agree ona topic. Some wanted to focus on China’s space exploration, while others argued for a project on high-speed rail technology. With the heated discussion going on, Sophia came up with a good idea-she wanted to suggest “The Development of 5G Technology in China and Its Global Impact,”. but fear held her back. What if they thought her idea was uninteresting or too technical? She opened her mouth to speak, but her nerves got the better of her, and she stayed silent.
As the deadline approached, the group still hadn’t made much progress. Sophia grew frustrated, but the fear of rejection kept her quiet. The night before their final meeting, she thought about how stepping out of her comfort zone might help her grow, as her teachers often said. Maybe this was her chance to take that step. Finally, the final meeting came and her group got together, still arguing without any agreement.
Sophia took a deep breath and decided it was time to take a risk.

1. Mike exchanged a glance with his classmate during the math exam, which ________ (spot) by the teacher. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was spotted
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:数学考试时,迈克和同学交换了一个眼神,被老师发现了。根据主句中的exchanged可知,从句应用一般过去时,表示过去发生的事情。which指代的是主句的内容,和spot之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且be动词应用was。故填was spotted。
2. We can easily come to a ________ (conclude) that the sharp decrease of wildlife species results from population growth. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】conclusion
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:我们可以很容易地得出结论:野生动物物种的急剧减少是由种群增长造成的。根据空前的a可知,空处应用名词单数作宾语。conclusion意为“结论”。come to a conclusion意为“得出结论”。故填conclusion。

【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:作为一名导游,我觉得看到一些游客在旅行中行为不端非常尴尬。it为形式宾语,指代后面的不定式短语see some tourists behaving badly while travelling,表示事情,所以这里应用-ing形式的形容词作宾补。embarrassing意为“令人尴尬的”。故填embarrassing。
5. This hospital________ (attach) to the medical college nearby was destroyed in the flood. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】attached
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:这家附属于附近医学院的医院在洪水中被毁。句中was destroyed为谓语,空处为非谓语动词,非谓语动词attach和逻辑主语hospital之间是被动关系,故用其过去分词作后置定语。故填attached。
6. This incident has ________ (sharp) public awareness of the economic crisis. (所给词的适当形式填空)

【详解】考查名词。句意:任何公司的成功在很大程度上都依赖于创新、奉献和有效的领导。空处和空后的“dedication, and effective leadership”并列作介词on的宾语,应用名词。innovation意为“创新”,为不可数名词。故填innovation。

【答案】distance
【解析】

Growing up in Nigeria, Sunday Agbonika raised a pet dog, which was unusual in the 2000s, let alone having a trained dog in the countryside. But he did everything with his dog and trained it regularly, which inspired him to learn more about how animals could help people.
One day, he came across a video by Nathan Selove, who gave talks about living with autism (自闭症). In the video, Selove explained how he struggled with school and was often bullied (欺负). But after getting a service dog, his grades and relationships improved.
The idea that his background with animals could help support children like Selove struck Agbonika. So he planned to visit the US to take a dog- learning course, but he was denied a visa. He turned to another way to learn. He read as many books as he could and watched a lot of videos. By the time he learned enough knowledge about how animals could help a person’s well- being, he was qualified to work as a dog trainer. When he worked in a pet store, he also took in dogs from clients and trained them in person.
The first challenge he met was reaching children who could benefit from animal- assisted therapy. He tried connecting with centers that worked with these children, but only two loved the idea. They gave him the chance to run a trial to see if it would work. He ended up getting remarkable results, which let him get the message out there. Many centers started showing interest.
Later Agbonika ran the Dogalov HumAn Support Initiative. In 2019 Agbonika received the Fellowship for Young African Leaders, a program which selects 700 Africans to go to various universities in the US to learn leadership and team- building skills each year. The fellowship helped him build a relationship with the international community. And more and more people are now getting to see the work he’s doing and are more willing to hear what he has to say.
24. What phenomenon was described in Nigeria in the 2000s?
A. Having a trained dog was rare in a family. B. Pets were seen as people’s companions.
C. Raising animals in the family was strange. D. Pet dogs were common in the country.
25. What did the video by Nathan Selove show?
A. He struggled to make ends meet. B. He was cured of autism successfully.
C. He owed his improvement to a service dog. D. He inspired people to use pets to treat autism.
26. How did Agbonika get the qualification of working as a dog trainer?
A. He took dog- learning courses in the US. B. He adopted dogs from clients to train them.
C. He taught himself through books and videos. D. He received training from some animal centers.
27. How did the Fellowship for Young African Leaders help Agbonika?
A. It helped him become a leader. B. It raised funds for his program.
C. It allowed him to do research abroad. D. It exposed his idea to more people.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. D

During Yang Zhongkai’s early years, a 500-year-old majestic ginkgo (银杏) tree that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for him on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded the tree as having the power to make their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it, which led to prolonged heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, who started the team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees. “But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets (电子表格), which present issues such as information silos, lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However, things have changed of late. Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately based on individual traits and GPS tracking. “With the acceleration of a new generation of technological revolution and industrial transformation, new technologies bring more excitement to the protection of ancient trees,” Yang said. “We can now collect data on the trees’ growth, health and environment in real time, which helps us make informed decisions on how to better protect them.”
“In addition to applying cutting-edge technologies such as AI and large models to assist in the development of traditional industries, the company also makes great efforts to promote the development of charitable causes through technological and platform advantages,” Wu. Yunsheng said, vice-president of Tencent Cloud, adding that “the power of technology can change the world”.
28. What does the underlined word “stunting” in paragraph I probably mean?
A. Preventing. B. Boosting. C. Keeping. D. Recording.
29. What can we infer about Tencent Cloud’s new technology?
A. It will replace Excel spreadsheets in the future.
B. It is an effective tool to protect ancient trees.
C. It will be widely used in modern industries.
D. It has remarkable advantages over other AI.
30. What is Wu Yunsheng’s attitude towards the application of technology?
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
31. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To emphasize the importance of technology.
B To show technology’s aid to ancient trees.
C. To introduce Tencent Cloud’s new function.
D. To arouse the awareness of protecting trees.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】

(由于村民们普遍认为这棵树具有实现愿望的力量,他们过去常常跪在“幸运”树前,在树下焚烧祭品,这导致其根部长时间暴露在高温下,……了其生长。)”可知村民过去常在大树下燃烧贡品,导致大树的根部长时间暴露在热源之下,从而阻止了大树的生长,划线单词stunting意为“阻碍”,故选A。

As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It’s called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don’t you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games? I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.
32. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2?
A. The video replay has been widely used.
B. League games have become competitive.
C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.
D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.
33. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Tricking. B. Promoting. C. Damaging. D. Restoring.
34. What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game?
A. They relied a lot on the video replay.
B. They cared too much about details.
C. They were definitely stressed out.
D. They were terribly disqualified.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Video replays: high-end technology in sports
B. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports?
C. Officiating: a duty that requires honesty
D. What do qualified referees really mean?
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速,比赛的节奏也越来越快,在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面,越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术,以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确,并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.(在即将到来的赛季中,美国国家橄榄球联盟将扩大其回放系统,将传球干扰纳入其中。美国职业棒球大联盟现在依靠它来进行安全出局和本垒打。如果你一直在看世界杯,你可能已经注意到视频助理裁判(VAR)在几乎每场比赛中都发挥着关键作用。在肯塔基赛马比赛中,一匹马因撞到另一匹马而被取消资格。没有人知道为什么,直到视频回放证实了这一判罚,争议才得以避免。)”可知,美国国家橄榄球联盟、美国职业棒球大联盟,FIFA世界杯以及肯塔基赛马中都在依靠视频回放作出裁决,由此推知,视频回放在体育赛事中已被广泛使用。故选A。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented(然而,许多纯粹主义者——那些希望人们认真遵守规则,以传统方式做事的人——尤其是在足球领域,认为这不是这项运动的发明方式)”可知,许多纯粹主义者即以传统做事的人,在足球领域中认为这不是这项运动的发明方式,由此可知,许多纯粹主义者对视频回放持否定态度,他们认为视频回放玷污了这项运动。因此,画线词与C项“Damaging.(损坏)”为同义词。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.(它削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。洛杉矶公羊队在加时赛中以26比23获胜。这一否决深深激怒了公众。录像回放显示,裁判刚刚错过了一个最明显的传球干扰判罚。)”可知,视频回放显示,裁判刚刚错过了一个十分明显的传球干扰判罚,而这削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。由此推知,新奥尔良圣徒队会认为这些裁判是不称职的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速,比赛的节奏也越来越快,在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面,越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术,以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确,并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。B选项“Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports?(像VAR这样的技术是体育界的福音吗?)”符合文章标题。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文,主要讲的是中国博物馆如何通过创新的文化体验和多样化的生活方式吸引年轻人。
【56题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:在你身边有一杯咖啡和一块形状像古花瓶面包。句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词,bread和shape之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填shaped。
【57题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:这种独特的体验可以在中国西北部甘肃省博物馆的艺术与生活画廊中找到。这种体验是被找到,句子用被动语态,空前有情态动词can,因此空格处是be done,故填be found。
【58题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这家美术馆结合了艺术、美食和书籍,自最近开业以来已成为年轻人的热门景点。根据关键词since可知,此处用现在完成时,主语this gallery为单数,因此空格处是has become。故填has become。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这里每天都有大量的游客,许多文化创意产品一上架就卖光了。a number of是固定短语,意为“很多”,significant是辅音音素开头,因此空格处用a,故填a。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:在中国各地,博物馆正在建立主题咖啡馆和画廊,将历史深度、纯粹的创意和轻松的氛围结合起来。historical是形容词,修饰名词,deep的名词是depth,意为“深度”,是不可数名词,故填depth。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这些主题因素迎合了年轻人对创新文化体验和多样化生活方式日益增长的需求。factor是可数名词,且根据These可知,此处用名词的复数形式。故填factors。
【62题详解】
考查不定式。句意:例如,为了推广清代文化,辽宁省沈阳故宫博物院开设了主题咖啡厅。该句已有谓语动词launched,此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to promote。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:公众对文化体验的浓厚兴趣正在推动博物馆不断创新。此处用副词修饰动词innovate,constant的副词是constantly,意为“不断地”。故填constantly。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种创新促进了文化空间的发展,特别是满足了年轻观众对新的综合文化形式的偏好。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是cultural spaces,指物,因此空格处用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:这些产品的广泛普及吸引了更多的年轻人到这些博物馆,从而加深了博物馆在他们生活中的文化意义。根据语境可知,句子表示“这些产品的广泛普及吸引了更多的年轻人到这些博物馆”,空格处意为“到”,用介词to。故填to。

Sophia had always been the shyest girl in her class. She preferred to stay in the background, rarely speaking up and avoiding attention at all costs. Her teachers often encouraged her to participate more, but Sophia felt more comfortable being unnoticed. She admired those who could confidently share their thoughts, yet never believed she could be one of them.
One day, the class was assigned a group project in science, and each group needed to create a presentation on a major technological advancement from China. Sophia’s group couldn’t agree ona topic. Some wanted to focus on China’s space exploration, while others argued for a project on high-speed rail technology. With the heated discussion going on, Sophia came up with a good idea-she wanted to suggest “The Development of 5G Technology in China and Its Global Impact,”. but fear held her back. What if they thought her idea was uninteresting or too technical? She opened her mouth to speak, but her nerves got the better of her, and she stayed silent.
As the deadline approached, the group still hadn’t made much progress. Sophia grew frustrated, but the fear of rejection kept her quiet. The night before their final meeting, she thought about how stepping out of her comfort zone might help her grow, as her teachers often said. Maybe this was her chance to take that step. Finally, the final meeting came and her group got together, still arguing without any agreement.
Sophia took a deep breath and decided it was time to take a risk.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Sophia took a deep breath and decided it was time to take a risk. “I have an idea,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The group paused, turning their attention to her. Encouraged by their silence, she continued, “What about ‘The Development of 5G Technology in China and Its Global Impact’?” To her surprise, her group members nodded in agreement, intrigued by the fresh perspective. As they discussed the idea further, Sophia felt a sense of accomplishment and relief. She realized that her voice mattered and that stepping out of her comfort zone could lead to positive outcomes. From that day on, Sophia promised herself to speak up more often, knowing that her contributions were valuable.
