The first pea said, “Now I’m flying out into the wide world. Catch me if you can.” And it was gone. The second said, “I’m going to fly to the sun,” and away it went. Two peas said, “We will go to sleep wherever we find ourselves.” They fell to the floor and rolled about, adding, “We shall go farther than the others.” The last pea shouted, “What will happen, will happen!” as it shot out of the toy gun. It fell into a crack (裂缝) under a window filled with moss (青苔) and soft earth. The window belonged to a tiny apartment. In it lived a poor woman and her daughter. The woman spent long hours cleaning other people’s houses and only returned home at night. Her daughter was ill in bed. It was springtime. One morning, as the mother was about to go to work, the sun shone beautifully through the little window.

The following two poems talk about this quality. Bamboo in the Rock By Zheng Xie Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep, Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep. It’s strong and firm (坚固) though struck and beaten without rest, Careless of the wind from north or south, east or west. If By Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming (指责) it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wisely. … Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! In Zheng’s poem, we can see that bamboo is full of life and never gives up in hard times. Though this poem may seem to be about bamboo, its message is that people should have the same strength. It shows that perseverance does matter. Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way. 28. What can we learn from both poems? A. Those who believe in themselves are always lucky. B. When we are facing difficulties, we should keep strong. C. No matter what happens, everyone should stay happy. D. Everyone will go through lots of ups and downs. 29. The underlined word “perseverance” means “______”. A. 持之以恒 B. 光明磊落 C. 助人为乐 D. 忠心耿耿 30 What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Zheng Xie and Kipling B. strength and perseverance C. Kipling’s son D. failure or times of trouble 31. What’s the tone (语气) of the poem written by Rudyard Kipling? A. Angry. B. Serious. C. Encouraging. D. Humorous. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了两首关于在困难时期保持坚强的诗歌，一首是中国诗人郑燮的《竹石》，另一首是英国诗人吉卜林的《如果》。两首诗都以不同方式表达了在逆境中保持坚强的重要性，并强调了坚持不懈的价值。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Staying strong during hard times is a beautiful quality (品质) of human beings. The following two poems talk about this quality.”可知，从这两首诗中我们可以学到当我们遇到困难时，我们应该坚强。故选B。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In Zheng’s poem, we can see that bamboo is full of life and never gives up in hard times. Though this poem may seem to be about bamboo, its message is that people should have the same strength.”以及后文“It shows that perseverance does matter.”可知，郑燮的诗虽然似乎是关于竹子的，但它的寓意是人们应该有同样的力量，竹子在困难时期从不放弃，这说明坚持不懈很重要，故画线词的意思是“持之以恒”。故选A。 【30题详解】 代词指代题。根据画线词上文“Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way.”可知，吉卜林呼吁人们在失败或遇到困难时保持坚强，并以平静的方式应对它们，所以画线词指代上文提到的“failure or times of trouble”。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If you can keep your head when all about you”、“If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,”、“And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”以及最后一段“Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way.”可知，吉卜林的诗呼吁人们在失败或遇到困难时保持坚强，并以平静的方式应对，这是鼓励的语气。故选C。 D The shape of a room can’t make you any smarter than you were before, but we do know that the environment we’re in has an influence on us. That includes our ability to pay attention and work on mental tasks. A recent study shows that big and open rooms, with high ceilings (天花板), make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them. “We wanted to see if being in a large space like a gym while having to focus on an important task would result in a poorer performance,” says Isabella Bower, one of the researchers. The researchers collected exam results from 15,400 students over 8 years. They compared these scores to expected scores based on the coursework (课程作业) the students had handed in. In exam rooms with high ceilings, students generally performed less well than those in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after considering things that could influence the results, such as age, gender, exam subject and previous exam experience. ______ For example, what we’re not yet sure is whether the room’s actual size is having an influence, or whether it’s something else related to the environment—like the temperature inside the space, or even how many other students there are. What’s clear, though, is that the environment matters. Education expert Jaclyn Broadbent says, “Exams influence students’ future careers and lives. It’s important to understand the possible influence of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary changes to ensure all students have a fair chance to succeed.” 32. What’s the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1? A. To prove that the shape of a room can make people smarter. B. To introduce the topic that the environment can affect (影响) our abilities. C. To show that people’s mental tasks are not important. D. To explain the importance of paying attention. 33. Which of the following sentences can be put in ______? A. Students should study in rooms with high ceilings. B. Environment does not matter at all. C. These spaces are built for special purposes. D. However, there are still questions we need to answer. 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The shape of a room doesn’t affect students’ exam performance. B. The researchers have discovered all the factors (因素) that influence students. C. A student’s performance in exams can be affected by the environment they are in. D. Standard-ceiling-height rooms are better than big and open rooms with high ceilings. 35. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Better Environment, Better Performance B. High Ceilings, Low Scores C. Study Hard, Succeed Early D. Better Education, Better Life 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了房间形状和天花板高度对学生注意力集中度和考试成绩的影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段首句“The shape of a room can't make you any smarter than you were before, but we do know that the environment we're in has an influence on us.”可知，房间的形状不会让你比以前更聪明，但我们确实知道我们所处的环境对我们有影响。由此可知，作者在第一段是为了引出环境对我们的能力有影响这个话题。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段首句“In exam rooms with high ceilings, students generally performed less well than those in rooms with a ‘standard’ ceiling height, even after considering things that could influence the results, such as age, gender, exam subject and previous exam experience.”可知，在有高天花板的考场里，学生的表现通常较差，但作者也提到了考虑了可能影响结果的因素，说明还有一些因素需要考虑，即还有一些问题有待解决。故D选项“然而，还有一些问题我们需要回答。”符合语境。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“What’s clear, though, is that the environment matters.”可知，学生考试的表现会受到所处环境的影响。故选C。 35题详解】 标题归纳题。根据文章内容，并结合第二段首句“A recent study shows that big and open rooms, with high ceilings (天花板), make it harder for students to focus on what's in front of them.”可知，本文主要讲述的是天花板高的考场会让学生考试成绩变差，即高天花板，低分数。故B选项“高天花板，低分数”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 E ①Sora, a new technology from OpenAI company, has drawn much interest. It’s a text-to-video model that can do amazing things. ②Sora is special in many ways. One is that it can make videos at suitable aspect ratios (合适的屏幕高宽比) for different tools. So, whether you use a smartphone or a computer, the video will fit well. Also, it allows users to check a low-resolution version (低分辨率版本) before getting the final high-quality one. This helps save time and makes the video-making process more efficient (有效率的). ③The videos it creates are really vivid (生动的). It can build complicated (复杂的) scenes with several characters, different movements, and details of objects and backgrounds. For example, if it shows a person walking on a beach, you can see the footprints in the sand and the waves crashing in the background. ④However, Sora isn’t without weaknesses at the moment. It may have trouble clearly showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if a person eats part of a cake in a Sora-made video, the cake might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. ⑤OpenAI is still testing Sora. They’re inviting network experts to look for potential risks and weaknesses in the system. At the same time, they’re also getting feedback (反馈) from creative professionals like designers and filmmakers. It will be used to develop Sora and make it more useful. 36. What makes Sora different from other similar technologies? A. It can only make short videos for smartphones. B. It can create videos with suitable screen aspect ratios for different tools. C. It makes videos with simple scenes and only one character. D. It makes videos without any details or background. 37. Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4? A. To show Sora’s perfect performance. B. To explain the meaning of a cake. C. To show Sora’s present shortcomings. D. To show Sora’s safety issues. 38. What is the main idea of this article? A. Introduce the amazing history of new technology development. B. Increasing the different uses of Sora in many kinds of fields. C. Comparing Sora’s strengths and weakness with other models. D. Explaining the features (特征), problems, and improvement plans of Sora. 39. What’s the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. D 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了由OpenAI公司开发的新技术Sora。Sora是一种文本到视频模型，能够创建出生动的视频，具有多种特点和优点，但同时也存在一些缺点。OpenAI公司正在对其进行测试和改进，以期使其更加有用。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“One is that it can make videos at suitable aspect ratios (合适的屏幕高宽比) for different tools.”可知，Sora能根据不同的工具制作适合屏幕高宽比的视频，这是它与其他类似技术的不同之处。因此，选项B“它能根据不同工具创建适合屏幕高宽比的视频”是正确的。故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的首句“However, Sora isn’t without weaknesses at the moment.”可知，作者接下来要讲述的是Sora的缺点。紧接着，作者通过举例说明了Sora在复杂场景中的表现不足，因此作者给出这个例子是为了展示Sora目前的缺点。选项C“为了展示Sora目前的缺点”正确。故选C。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了Sora这项新技术，包括其特征、存在的问题和改进计划。第一段介绍了Sora这项技术，第二段和第三段分别介绍了它的特点和优点，第四段介绍了它的缺点，最后一段则是对其未来发展的展望。因此，文章的主旨大意是解释Sora的特征、问题和改进计划。选项D“解释Sora的特征、问题和改进计划”正确。故选D。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段介绍了Sora这项技术，第二段和第三段分别介绍了它的特点和优点，第四段介绍了它的缺点，最后一段则是对其未来发展的展望。因此，最合适的结构是C项。故选C。 Ⅴ. 口语应用。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 W: Hey, Jack, I was just reading about some amazing inventions.

It would use AI to provide personalized lessons”和下文“An app like that could be really helpful for students like us”可知，此处是说Alice想发明的app是一个好主意，G选项“那是一个绝妙的主意”承接上文，引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 【44题详解】 根据上文“I hope your invention will be realized someday”和下文“I think inventions should make life better for people, don’t you agree”可知，此处是说Alice也希望自己的发明可以实现，E选项“我也希望如此”承接上文，引出下文，符合语境。故选E。 第Ⅱ卷（共55分） Ⅵ. 任务型阅读。（65-67每小题2分，68小题3分，共9分） 阅读下文并回答问题。 Once upon a time in a small town, there was a local library that housed a mysterious painting.

The painting was known for its lifelike details and the mysterious feeling it gave to anyone who looked at it for too long. One day, a 15-year-old boy named Alex decided to explore the library to uncover the secrets behind the painting. As Alex stood in front of the painting, he noticed that the trees seemed to swing gently, as if caught in a breeze (微风). The animals within the painting appeared to move, their eyes following him as he stepped closer. Feeling a sudden gust of wind (狂风), Alex was pulled into the painting. He found himself standing in the very forest he had been admiring. The trees were towering, and the air was filled with the smell of pine and wildflowers. Alex was both scared and excited by this unexpected adventure. He met a wise old owl (猫头鹰) who told him that he was not the first to be pulled into the painting and that there was a way to return to his own world. The owl instructed (指示) Alex to find the hidden key within the forest, which would unlock the door back to his world. … Finally, ____45____ 45. Was the painting in the library special? ____________________________________________________________________________________________. 46. How old was Alex when he went to uncover the secrets behind the painting? ____________________________________________________________________________________________. 47. What happened when Alex got closer to the painting? ____________________________________________________________________________________________. 48. Finish the ending. (about 30 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________. 【答案】45. Yes, it was. 46.

When Alex got closer to the painting, the animals within the painting appeared to move, their eyes following him. 48.

The following two poems talk about this quality. Bamboo in the Rock By Zheng Xie Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep, Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep. It’s strong and firm (坚固的) though struck and beaten without rest, Careless of the wind from north or south, east or west. If By Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming (指责) it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good nor talk too wisely. … Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! In Zheng’s poem, we can see that bamboo is full of life and never gives up in hard times. Though this poem may seem to be about bamboo, its message is that people should have the same strength. It shows that perseverance does matter. Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way. 28. What can we learn from both poems? A.

What’s the tone (语气) of the poem written by Rudyard Kipling? A. Angry. B. Serious. C. Encouraging. D. Humorous. D The shape of a room can’t make you any smarter than you were before, but we do know that the environment we’re in has an influence on us. That includes our ability to pay attention and work on mental tasks. A recent study shows that big and open rooms, with high ceilings (天花板), make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them. “We wanted to see if being in a large space like a gym while having to focus on an important task would result in a poorer performance,” says Isabella Bower, one of the researchers. The researchers collected exam results from 15,400 students over 8 years. They compared these scores to expected scores based on the coursework (课程作业) the students had handed in. In exam rooms with high ceilings, students generally performed less well than those in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after considering things that could influence the results, such as age, gender, exam subject and previous exam experience. ______ For example, what we’re not yet sure is whether the room’s actual size is having an influence, or whether it’s something else related to the environment—like the temperature inside the space, or even how many other students there are. What’s clear, though, is that the environment matters. Education expert Jaclyn Broadbent says, “Exams influence students’ future careers and lives. It’s important to understand the possible influence of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary changes to ensure all students have a fair chance to succeed.” 32. What’s the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1? A. To prove that the shape of a room can make people smarter. B. To introduce the topic that the environment can affect (影响) our abilities. C. To show that people’s mental tasks are not important. D. To explain the importance of paying attention. 33. Which of the following sentences can be put in ______? A. Students should study in rooms with high ceilings. B. Environment does not matter at all. C. These spaces are built for special purposes. D. However, there are still questions we need to answer. 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The shape of a room doesn’t affect students’ exam performance. B. The researchers have discovered all the factors (因素) that influence students. C. A student’s performance in exams can be affected by the environment they are in. D. Standard-ceiling-height rooms are better than big and open rooms with high ceilings. 35. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Better Environment, Better Performance B. High Ceilings, Low Scores C. Study Hard, Succeed Early D. Better Education, Better Life E ①Sora, a new technology from OpenAI company, has drawn much interest. It’s a text-to-video model that can do amazing things. ②Sora is special in many ways. One is that it can make videos at suitable aspect ratios (合适的屏幕高宽比) for different tools. So, whether you use a smartphone or a computer, the video will fit well. Also, it allows users to check a low-resolution version (低分辨率版本) before getting the final high-quality one. This helps save time and makes the video-making process more efficient (有效率的). ③The videos it creates are really vivid (生动的). It can build complicated (复杂的) scenes with several characters, different movements, and details of objects and backgrounds. For example, if it shows a person walking on a beach, you can see the footprints in the sand and the waves crashing in the background. ④However, Sora isn’t without weaknesses at the moment. It may have trouble clearly showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if a person eats part of a cake in a Sora-made video, the cake might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. ⑤OpenAI is still testing Sora. They’re inviting network experts to look for potential risks and weaknesses in the system. At the same time, they’re also getting feedback (反馈) from creative professionals like designers and filmmakers. It will be used to develop Sora and make it more useful. 36. What makes Sora different from other similar technologies? A. It can only make short videos for smartphones. B. It can create videos with suitable screen aspect ratios for different tools. C. It makes videos with simple scenes and only one character. D. It makes videos without any details or background. 37. Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4? A. To show Sora’s perfect performance. B. To explain the meaning of a cake. C. To show Sora’s present shortcomings. D. To show Sora’s safety issues. 38. What is the main idea of this article? A. Introduce the amazing history of new technology development. B. Increasing the different uses of Sora in many kinds of fields. C. Comparing Sora’s strengths and weakness with other models. D. Explaining the features (特征), problems, and improvement plans of Sora. 39. What’s the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D.
