B 17-year-old Yohanna Endashaw took the stage in March at the Poetry Out Loud State Finals in Springfield. “I like to allow the nerves to fuel my feelings on stage and make my emotions stronger,” Yohanna said. “I remember at the last words of the poems, my hands were shaking with all the energy.” The Niles West High School junior has competed twice in the annual Poetry Out Loud competition at her school. Both years, she took first place. Yohanna not only won the state finals this year, but she also advanced to the national finals in Washington, D. C. From performing in competitions to writing her own poetry, Sally Graham, an English teacher at Niles West, said Yohanna has always remained committed to her skills. “She took a lot of time to practice,” Sally said, “During her free periods, she would go to the hall when no one else was there. She would work at every single line, making the poem magically come together.” Yohanna discovered her love for performance poetry from a young age. She performed in her first poetry competition in the fourth grade. During high school, she tried to balance poetry with playing for the school basketball and volleyball teams. She also set aside time for pursuing her career passion for neuroscience (神经科学) by founding a research club for future health professionals on campus. But it was the pandemic, she said, that allowed her to focus more of her time on poetry. Yohanna is also a newly published author. Her first book was published in September after almost a year’s effort. The book contains many of her free verse poems divided into three parts; her childhood, memories of growing up and current social issues that are important to her. Kelly Wingo, a classmate who has grown up with Yohanna, said the first time she saw her perform a poem in class, she was blown away by Yohanna’s ability to hold the attention of the audience. “Reading her book reminded me of that moment. It really captured the raw emotions of being a teenager and growing up,” Kelly said. Yohanna said it was important for her to find poetry that resonated (共鸣) with her readers. 4. What did Sally Graham think of Yohanna? A. Yohanna was good at writing poetry. B. Yohanna could write magic poetry. C. Yohanna was serious about poetry. D. Yohanna was slow at writing poetry. 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Yohanna’s favorite was poetry. B. Yohanna’s school life was colorful. C. Yohanna spent a hard time among several subjects. D. Yohanna won the Poetry Out Loud in the fourth grade. 6. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “blown away” in Paragraph 5? A. Defeated. B. Disappointed. C. Frustrated. D. Impressed. 7. What is a suitable title for this passage? A. Yohanna, a Talented Neuroscientist B. Yohanna’s Poetry Journey C. Yohanna’s First Poetry Collection D. Yohanna, a Fighter for Competition C Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless, which is an old joke in the US. However, Susan Goldin-Meadowin, author of the book Thinking With Your Hands, has a rather different view. “Almost everyone gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs. “Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.” The gesture under discussion here is the so-called “co-speech gesture”. It is much more abstract (抽象) than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean “Great!”. Like words, such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures (but vary between them). Instead, co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion. For example, experimental subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped. They may do so in words - while their hands will make a running movement. The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do. And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications. For example, teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the edge of getting it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. “Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months if they gesture as much as their peers. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention,” Susan Goldin-Meadow in adds. “Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.” 8. What does Susan Goldin-Meadowin really want to tell us in paragraph 2? A. Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman. B. Italians are very talkative and gesture too much. C. It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other. D. Co-speech gestures are used by all of us unknowingly. 9. What can we say about sign languages? A. They are as abstract as co-speech gestures. B. They are usually learned by human beings naturally. C. They have distinctly structured words and grammar. D. They vary from culture to culture and person to person. 10. What does the author suggest teachers do in the passage? A. Put enough trust in students. B. Encourage students to tell the truth. C. Observe the co-speech gestures carefully. D. Teach as many tricky problems as possible. 11. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Co-speech gestures play a vital part in communication. B. Symbolic gestures differ greatly from co-speech gestures. C. Co-speech gestures are more difficult than sign languages. D. Symbolic gestures have great potential for practical applications. D In 1995, UNESCO recognized five clusters of rice terraces in Ifugao as World Heritage Sites, describing them as a living cultural landscape of unmatched beauty. This recognition placed Ifugao, a province in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the Philippines, on the global tourist map. From 2017 to 2019 a yearly average of 71, 400 tourists, nearly half of them foreigners, stayed in country houses in the province, according to the Department of Tourism of the Cordillera Administrative Region. In 2019, tourists in Ifugao spent nearly $18 million, according to the tourism department. But Ifugao is more than just a beautiful landscape for tourists to admire. On these terraces, local people grow tinawon rice, a native variety (品种) that is grown only once a year. But the tinawon and the terraces it is grown on are today endangered. As a crop grown only once a year, tinawon harvests (收成) are only enough for basic needs, forcing families to look for other forms of livelihood. Many young people are choosing to abandon ( 遗弃) rice terraces and work in cities. Rice terraces that aren't abandoned are often turned into vegetable farms. This form of farming can yield two to three times as much sellable produce per unit of land as rice farming, with three to four harvests per year. Vegetable farming may bring money for farmers. But the chemicals (化学制品) used in vegetable farming slowly harm soil health, making it unworkable. This can push farmers to clear out forested areas in search of new land. The chemicals can also pollute water sources. Besides, such practices could end the Ifugao culture that centers on rice. There is still some hope in the Ifugao landscape. In the village of Mompolia, farmers still grow tinawon in rice fields. There are still young people here eager to learn the knowledge of growing tinawon, like 28-year-old Geomar Pugong, an engineer. He works in the provincial capital, Lagawe, but goes back home frequently to tend his family‘s rice fields. “Eating a cup of tinawon is like eating two cups of commercial ( 商业化的) rice. It may take time to harvest, but it is more advantageous in a sense,” Pugong says. 12. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show? A. The number of tourists in Ifugao has fallen. B. Tourism has become a major industry in Ifugao. C The Ifugao government will encourage tourism. D. Tourism in Ifugao has influenced the environment. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Why Ifugao’s rice terraces are dying. B. Why Ifugao’s rice terraces are valuable. C. How Ifugao’s rice terraces are growing in popularity. D. How Ifugao’s rice terraces are different from those in other areas. 14. What do we know about growing vegetables on the terraces? A. It harms the environment. B. It needs high-quality water. C. It will bring long-term gains. D. It somewhat benefits rice farming. 15. How does Pugong feel about growing tinawon rice? A. It should receive support from villagers. B. It is worth the time and hard work. C. It is unattractive to young people. D. It can bring in a lot of money. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life. ____16____ By 2048, some futurologists foresee that some “talking” buildings will appear in our life.

From a young age, Chen harbored a burning passion to become a famous musician, a dream that seemed far out of reach, for he was born deaf. Many in the town considered his aspiration impossible, but Chen was determined. He believed that music was not just about hearing, but about feeling and connecting with the heart and soul. Chen’s musical journey began with the ancient guqin, a traditional Chinese instrument known for its beautiful sounds. He spent hours feeling the gentle touch of the strings under his fingertips, learning each note’s distinct sound by heart. His devotion to understanding music through its vibrations became his unique method of communicating with the music world. Gradually the tale of the deaf boy’s extraordinary talent swiftly spread across the town and beyond, drawing crowds eager to witness his performances. Chen’s music, filled with depth and emotion, touched the hearts of many and slowly shaped his dream into reality. His persistence and skill eventually caught the attention of a celebrated musician, professor Wang. She decided to travel far to see Chen perform. Closing his eyes, Chen allowed his hands to find their way along the guqin. Upon witnessing Chen’s live performance, professor Wang was struck with amazement. The raw emotion and skill with which Chen played gugin impressed professor Wang, a musician famous for her contributions to preserving China’s traditional music. She stood, with her heart beating with excitement and admiration for the young boy before her. Professor Wang approached Chen, her eyes shining with respect and a newfound purpose. She recognized not just a student in him, but the passion for Chinese music. “Your talent is extraordinary. But beyond your skill, it’s your soul that breathes life into every note you play. The world must hear your music,” she wrote a note to him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then professor Wang offered Chen an opportunity to learn from her. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Under professor Wang’s guidance, Chen made great progress. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.

Both years, she took first place. Yohanna not only won the state finals this year, but she also advanced to the national finals in Washington, D. C. From performing in competitions to writing her own poetry, Sally Graham, an English teacher at Niles West, said Yohanna has always remained committed to her skills. “She took a lot of time to practice,” Sally said, “During her free periods, she would go to the hall when no one else was there. She would work at every single line, making the poem magically come together.” Yohanna discovered her love for performance poetry from a young age. She performed in her first poetry competition in the fourth grade. During high school, she tried to balance poetry with playing for the school basketball and volleyball teams. She also set aside time for pursuing her career passion for neuroscience (神经科学) by founding a research club for future health professionals on campus. But it was the pandemic, she said, that allowed her to focus more of her time on poetry. Yohanna is also a newly published author. Her first book was published in September after almost a year’s effort. The book contains many of her free verse poems divided into three parts; her childhood, memories of growing up and current social issues that are important to her. Kelly Wingo, a classmate who has grown up with Yohanna, said the first time she saw her perform a poem in class, she was blown away by Yohanna’s ability to hold the attention of the audience. “Reading her book reminded me of that moment. It really captured the raw emotions of being a teenager and growing up,” Kelly said. Yohanna said it was important for her to find poetry that resonated (共鸣) with her readers. 4. What did Sally Graham think of Yohanna? A. Yohanna was good at writing poetry. B. Yohanna could write magic poetry. C. Yohanna was serious about poetry. D. Yohanna was slow at writing poetry. 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Yohanna’s favorite was poetry. B. Yohanna’s school life was colorful. C. Yohanna spent a hard time among several subjects. D. Yohanna won the Poetry Out Loud in the fourth grade. 6. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “blown away” in Paragraph 5? A. Defeated. B. Disappointed. C. Frustrated. D. Impressed. 7. What is a suitable title for this passage? A. Yohanna, a Talented Neuroscientist B. Yohanna’s Poetry Journey C. Yohanna’s First Poetry Collection D. Yohanna, a Fighter for Competition 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是17岁的Yohanna Endashaw的诗歌之旅。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“From performing in competitions to writing her own poetry, Sally Graham, an English teacher at Niles West, said Yohanna has always remained committed to her skills. “She took a lot of time to practice,” Sally said. “During her free periods, she would go to the hall when no one else was there. She would work at every single line, making the poem magically come together.”(从参加比赛到自己写诗，Niles West的英语老师Sally Graham说，Yohanna一直致力于自己的技能。“她花了很多时间练习，”Sally说。“在她空闲的时候，我们会在没人的时候去大厅。她会在每一行上下功夫，让整首诗神奇地串联起来。”)”可知Yohanna从参加比赛到自己写诗一直花很多时间去练习自己的技能，所以在Sally Graham看来Yohanna对诗歌很认真。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“During high school, she tried to balance poetry with playing for the school basketball and volleyball teams. She also set aside time for pursuing her career passion for neuroscience (神经科学) by founding a research club for future health professionals on campus.(高中时，她试图在诗歌和为学校篮球队和排球队打球之间找到平衡。她还专门腾出时间来追求自己对神经科学的职业热情，成立了一个面向未来健康专业人士的研究俱乐部)”可知Yohanna在写诗的同时不仅参加了学校的的篮球队和排球队，而且在校园里成立了一个面向未来健康专业人士的关于神经科学研究的俱乐部，由此可推知Yohanna的爱好非常广泛，学校生活丰富多彩。故选B。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词之前“Kelly Wingo, a classmate who has grown up with Yohanna, said the first time she saw her perform a poem in class(Kelly Wingo是和Yohanna一起长大的同学，她说自己第一次看到Yohanna在课堂上朗诵诗歌)”以及划线词之后“by Yohanna’s ability to hold the attention of the audience.(被Yohanna吸引观众注意力的能力)”可知当Yohanna第一次在课堂上朗诵诗歌时就吸引住了观众的注意力，由此可以推断Yohanna吸引观众的能力让Kelly Wingo印象深刻，所以划线词的意思应与D项“Impressed(让人印象深刻)”意思相近。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“17-year-old Yohanna Endashaw took the stage in March at the Poetry Out Loud State Finals in Springfield.(今年3月，17岁的Yohanna Endashaw在斯普林菲尔德举行的州诗歌决赛上登台)”可知本段主要介绍了Yohanna在全州诗歌比赛中的优异表现；文章第二段主要讲的是Sally Graham老师对于Yohanna的评价；第三段主要讲Yohanna从小对于诗歌非常热爱；第四段主要讲的是Yohanna将自己的诗歌写成书并出版的情况；最后一段主要讲的是Yohanna的同学Kelly Wingo对她在诗歌能力方面的评价，纵观全文，文章主要在围绕着Yohanna在诗歌这条路上的历程展开，所以B项“Yohanna’s Poetry Journey(约翰娜的诗歌之旅)”最能概括文章主要内容，作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。 C Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless, which is an old joke in the US. However, Susan Goldin-Meadowin, author of the book Thinking With Your Hands, has a rather different view. “Almost everyone gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs. “Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.” The gesture under discussion here is the so-called “co-speech gesture”. It is much more abstract (抽象) than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean “Great!”. Like words, such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures (but vary between them). Instead, co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion. For example, experimental subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped. They may do so in words - while their hands will make a running movement. The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do. And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications. For example, teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the edge of getting it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. “Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months, if they gesture as much as their peers. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention,” Susan Goldin-Meadow in adds. “Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.” 8. What does Susan Goldin-Meadowin really want to tell us in paragraph 2? A Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman. B. Italians are very talkative and gesture too much. C. It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other. D. Co-speech gestures are used by all of us unknowingly. 9. What can we say about sign languages? A. They are as abstract as co-speech gestures. B. They are usually learned by human beings naturally. C. They have distinctly structured words and grammar. D. They vary from culture to culture and person to person. 10. What does the author suggest teachers do in the passage? A. Put enough trust in students. B. Encourage students to tell the truth. C. Observe the co-speech gestures carefully. D. Teach as many tricky problems as possible. 11. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Co-speech gestures play a vital part in communication. B. Symbolic gestures differ greatly from co-speech gestures. C. Co-speech gestures are more difficult than sign languages. D. Symbolic gestures have great potential for practical applications. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一种身体语言co-speech gesture及其用途。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing. (会议口译员在他们的小房间里做手势，尽管没有人看着他们。即使是天生失明的人在说话时也会做出手势，包括彼此之间。在电视剧《王冠》中，戴安娜王妃被警告说，她的手可能会暴露出她的真实情绪，这可能是危险的，必须把它们绑在一起，这样她才能学会不用手势说话。)”这几个例子可推断，Susan Goldin-Meadowin认为这种co-speech gesture是下意识的，而且所有人都会用。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题，根据第三段“The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do. (co-speech gesture 也不是手语。手语它们有明确定义的单词和语法，并且像口语一样因地而异。)”可知，手语有明确的单词和语法。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that ındıcates they are on the edge of getting it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. (例如，鼓励教师自己使用手势，并观察学生的手势。一些在棘手的数学问题上失败的学生可能会做出一种暗示，表明他们即将得到它；他们应该与那些手势表明他们茫然人区别开来教。)”可推断，作者会建议教师细致观察学生手势，来确定学生是否真正理解而更好地分开教学。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both. (Co-speech gesturing不仅仅是关于缺乏控制。它是关于思考和交流的，对两者都有帮助。)”可知，本文主要是说明co-speech gesture在交流中的重要作用。所以A项Co- speech gestures play a vital part in communication.(Co-speech Gestures 是交流的重要组成部分。)符合语境。故选A项。 D In 1995, UNESCO recognized five clusters of rice terraces in Ifugao as World Heritage Sites, describing them as a living cultural landscape of unmatched beauty. This recognition placed Ifugao, a province in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the Philippines, on the global tourist map. From 2017 to 2019, a yearly average of 71, 400 tourists, nearly half of them foreigners, stayed in country houses in the province, according to the Department of Tourism of the Cordillera Administrative Region. In 2019, tourists in Ifugao spent nearly $18 million, according to the tourism department. But Ifugao is more than just a beautiful landscape for tourists to admire. On these terraces, local people grow tinawon rice, a native variety (品种) that is grown only once a year. But the tinawon and the terraces it is grown on are today endangered. As a crop grown only once a year, tinawon harvests (收成) are only enough for basic needs, forcing families to look for other forms of livelihood. Many young people are choosing to abandon ( 遗弃) rice terraces and work in cities. Rice terraces that aren't abandoned are often turned into vegetable farms. This form of farming can yield two to three times as much sellable produce per unit of land as rice farming, with three to four harvests per year. Vegetable farming may bring money for farmers. But the chemicals (化学制品) used in vegetable farming slowly harm soil health making it unworkable. This can push farmers to clear out forested areas in search of new land. The chemicals can also pollute water sources. Besides, such practices could end the Ifugao culture that centers on rice. There is still some hope in the Ifugao landscape. In the village of Mompolia, farmers still grow tinawon in rice fields. There are still young people here eager to learn the knowledge of growing tinawon, like 28-year-old Geomar Pugong, an engineer. He works in the provincial capital, Lagawe, but goes back home frequently to tend his family‘s rice fields. “Eating a cup of tinawon is like eating two cups of commercial ( 商业化的) rice. It may take time to harvest, but it is more advantageous in a sense,” Pugong says. 12. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show? A. The number of tourists in Ifugao has fallen. B. Tourism has become a major industry in Ifugao. C. The Ifugao government will encourage tourism. D. Tourism in Ifugao has influenced the environment. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Why Ifugao’s rice terraces are dying. B. Why Ifugao’s rice terraces are valuable. C. How Ifugao’s rice terraces are growing in popularity. D. How Ifugao’s rice terraces are different from those in other areas. 14. What do we know about growing vegetables on the terraces? A. It harms the environment. B. It needs high-quality water. C. It will bring long-term gains. D. It somewhat benefits rice farming. 15. How does Pugong feel about growing tinawon rice? A. It should receive support from villagers. B. It is worth the time and hard work. C. It is unattractive to young people. D. It can bring in a lot of money. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。菲律宾伊富高省的梯田面临危机：被抛弃或被改成蔬菜农场。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。结合第一段末的“This recognition placed Ifugao, a province in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the Philippines, on the global tourist map.”（这一认可使菲律宾科迪勒拉行政区（CAR）下属的伊富高省登上了全球旅游地图。）和第二段“From 2017 to 2019, a yearly average of 71, 400 tourists, nearly half of them foreigners, stayed in country houses in the province, according to the Department of Tourism of the Cordillera Administrative Region. In 2019, tourists in Ifugao spent nearly $18 million, according to the tourism department.”（据科迪勒拉行政区旅游部统计，2017 年至 2019 年，平均每年有 71,400 名游客入住该省的乡村别墅，其中近一半是外国人。旅游部门称，2019 年，伊富高岛的游客消费近 1800 万美元。）可推知，第二段中的数据说明旅游业已成为伊富高省的一个重要产业。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。第四段的主旨句是“But the tinawon and the terraces it is grown on are today endangered.”（但如今，种植这种树的梯田和梯田都濒临灭绝）说明如今伊富高省的梯田面临危机。下文解释说明了梯田不断减少的原因，即在梯田上种植高地水稻只能满足人们基本的生存需要，因此，许多年轻人选择丢弃梯田到大城市谋生。还有一部分梯田被改造成收益高的蔬菜农场。由此可知，本段主要讲述伊富高省的梯田濒危的原因。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But the chemicals (化学制品) used in vegetable farming slowly harm soil health, making it unworkable. This can push farmers to clear out forested areas in search of new land. The chemicals can also pollute water sources.”（但蔬菜种植中使用的化学物质会慢慢损害土壤健康，使蔬菜种植无法进行。这迫使农民砍伐森林，寻找新的土地。这些化学物质还会污染水源。）可知，在梯田上种植蔬菜过程中使用的化学肥料会破坏土壤，使土地失去生产力。这就迫使农民利用林地进行耕作。此外，这些化学肥料还会污染水资源。由此可知，梯田种植蔬菜会破坏环境。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“He works in the provincial capital, Lagawe, but goes back home frequently to tend his family's rice fields.”（他在省会拉加韦工作，但经常回家照料家里的稻田）及最后一段中Pugong所说的“Eating a cup of tinawon is like eating two cups of commercial rice. It may take time to harvest, but it is more advantageous in a sense”（喝一杯 tinawon 就像吃两杯商业化的大米。虽然可能需要一些时间才能收割，但从某种意义上来说，它更有利）可知，Pugong热衷于种植高地水稻，他认为从某种意义上说，种植这种水稻更有优势，Pugong认为种植tinawon稻米是值得花时间和辛苦的。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life. ____16____ By 2048, some futurologists foresee that some “talking” buildings will appear in our life.

Many in the town considered his aspiration impossible, but Chen was determined. He believed that music was not just about hearing, but about feeling and connecting with the heart and soul. Chen’s musical journey began with the ancient guqin, a traditional Chinese instrument known for its beautiful sounds. He spent hours feeling the gentle touch of the strings under his fingertips, learning each note’s distinct sound by heart. His devotion to understanding music through its vibrations became his unique method of communicating with the music world. Gradually the tale of the deaf boy’s extraordinary talent swiftly spread across the town and beyond, drawing crowds eager to witness his performances. Chen’s music, filled with depth and emotion, touched the hearts of many and slowly shaped his dream into reality. His persistence and skill eventually caught the attention of a celebrated musician, professor Wang. She decided to travel far to see Chen perform. Closing his eyes, Chen allowed his hands to find their way along the guqin. Upon witnessing Chen’s live performance, professor Wang was struck with amazement. The raw emotion and skill with which Chen played gugin impressed professor Wang, a musician famous for her contributions to preserving China’s traditional music. She stood, with her heart beating with excitement and admiration for the young boy before her. Professor Wang approached Chen, her eyes shining with respect and a newfound purpose. She recognized not just a student in him, but the passion for Chinese music. “Your talent is extraordinary. But beyond your skill, it’s your soul that breathes life into every note you play.
