These places show you traditions, communities and history - and inspire you to dig deeper. National WWII Museum, New Orleans, the US The National WWII Museum has several buildings, each covering different aspects of the war. Late last year, it opened the Liberation Pavilion, which explores the final years of the war. Visitors can step into re-creations of the secret building in Amsterdam where Anne Frank’s family lived and the salt mine where people uncovered treasured works of art hidden by the Nazis. Liamuiga Natural Farms, St. Kitts On Phillips Mountain, in St. Kitts, this coffee farm has recently started hosting three-course lunches for visitors. The Kellys and the Mikes, the two families run the farm, serve dishes using local produce and specialties including chips, saltfish and homemade coffee ice cream. “As you explore Liamuiga Natural Farms, you’re not just a guest,” says co-owner Tiffany Mike, “you’re a part of our work to protect the environment, uphold Kittiian traditions, and create a better future.” Canadian Canoe Museum, Ontario, Canada What is one of the best things about visiting the world’s largest collection of canoes (独木舟)? You can actually paddle (划船) up to it. The boat-shaped building, which has its opening in May, is located by the lakeside in Peterborough. After admiring the museum’s collection or taking a lesson in making paddles from Anishinaabe artists, visitors can start a group boat tour of Little Lake. NorEste Trail, Puerto Rico An hour’s drive east of San Juan, Puerto Rico’s first backpacking path, the NorEste Trail lets visitors “hike in a rainforest, be on a mountaintop in the clouds, and go to the beach, all in the same day,” El Yunque forest supervisor (主管) Keenan Adams said. Organizations like Love in Motion connect hikers with local culture through family-owned traditional food stands along the 40-mile journey. 1. What does the Liberation Pavilion focus on? A. The rise of a city. B. The end of WWII. C. American artists. D. Modern buildings. 2. What is a purpose of Liamuiga Natural Farms? A. To cover latest events. B. To show how to make a meal. C. To keep local traditions. D. To teach tourists to run a farm. 3. Which will attract visitors who want to explore a rainforest? A. NorEste Trail. B. National WWII Museum. C. Liamuiga Natural Farms. D. Canadian Canoe Museum. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合游玩的景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据National WWII Museum, New Orleans, the US部分中“Late last year, it opened the Liberation Pavilion, which explores the final years of the war. (去年年底，它开放了解放馆，探索了战争的最后几年)”可知，Liberation Pavilion聚焦二战末期的历史。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Liamuiga Natural Farms, St. Kitts部分中““As you explore Liamuiga Natural Farms, you’ re not just a guest,” says co-owner Tiffany Mike, “you’re a part of our work to protect the environment, uphold Kittiian traditions, and create a better future.” (“当你探索Liamuiga自然农场时，你不仅仅是一个客人，”共同所有者Tiffany Mike说，“你是我们工作的一部分，保护环境，维护基蒂亚传统，创造更美好的未来。”)”可知，开办 Liamuiga Natural Farms的目的之一是为了弘扬当地的传统。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据NorEste Trail, Puerto Rico部分中“An hour’s drive east of San Juan, Puerto Rico’s first backpacking path, the NorEste Trail lets visitors “hike in a rainforest, be on a mountaintop in the clouds, and go to the beach, all in the same day,” El Yunque forest supervisor (主管) Keenan Adams said. (在波多黎各第一条背包旅行路线圣胡安以东一小时车程的地方，诺雷斯特步道让游客“在雨林中徒步，在云中登上山顶，去海滩，所有这些都在同一天完成，”埃尔云克森林主管基南亚当斯说。)”可知，NorEste Trail对那些热爱丛林探险的游客有吸引力。故选A。 B I began learning languages at the age of five, when my parents sent me to an after-school French class at my primary school. My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language! I don’t remember much from those early classes, aside from learning different colours and days of the week over and over, but I do know that it was during these moments that I first discovered the joy of journeying away from my surroundings with words. Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination. I stuck with French as I grew up; it was one of those strong relationships that provides comfort. It wasn’t until I began learning Spanish (西班牙语) at age 11 that I experienced a more transformative (变化的) relationship with languages. Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language. After years of studying Spanish at school, and living in Spain, my Spanish came to match, and perhaps even exceed (超过), my English. Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish. Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot. 4. What is the author’s native language? A. French. B. English. C. Spanish. D. Chinese. 5. Why did the author feel enjoyable in French class? A. He could picture an amazing world. B. He had no homework to do. C. He could turn to his parents for help. D. He found it similar to English. 6. How is Spanish different from other languages for the author? A. It uses a host of simpler words. B. It leads to more misunderstanding. C. It has more difficult grammar rules. D. It allows him to better express feelings. 7. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. He succeeded at the cost of hard work. B. Learning a language takes too much time. C. Spanish brings the happy past into his mind. D. He often misses the vacation spent in the UK. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，作者回顾了学习法语和西班牙语的心路历程，表达了其对西班牙语的热爱之情。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language!(我的父母说英语，他们强调在家里使用不同的语言——甚至爷爷也会说外语！)”及倒数第二段“Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish.(尽管我十年前回到了英国，但现在我仍然经常发现自己陷入英语对话中，无法像用西班牙语那样有深度地表达思想或感觉)”可推知，作者的父母都说英语，家乡在英国，因此，作者的母语是英语。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination.(因为在法语课上很容易想象我们在别的地方，离现在很远很远，这对一个想象力丰富的孩子来说是一个很有吸引力的想法)”可知，作者在法语课上感到快乐是因为可以想象一个美好的世界。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language.(现在回想起来，我发现西班牙语对我来说，总是关乎感情。一开始的重点是学习单词和语法来描述我的感受，但不知怎么的，我最终学会了一种比我的母语更能帮助我表达自己的语言)”可知，作者觉得西班牙语和其他语言不同是由于西班牙语能让自己更好地表达感情。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot.(西班牙语给了我另一种活力。我不仅仅是“爱上了”。对我来说，“te echo de menos（我想念你）”比“我想你”更有感觉，它把我带回了我生命中一个我非常想念的时间)”可知，作者觉得西班牙语更能表达自己的感受，能带作者想起愉快的过去。故选C。 C Last September, a strange seismic signal (地震信号), lasting more than a week, attracted the attention of researchers around the world. It took 68 experts from 15 countries to discover the cause of the “USO” -Unidentified Seismic Object. The term USO is used informally by scientists for unusual seismic signals that can’t be explained, according to Kristian Svennevig, the lead author of a new report on this signal. From the start, scientists agreed this signal was not from an earthquake. Svennevig compared earthquakes to hitting piano keys with force, creating a mix of sounds that disappeared quickly. However, the unusual signal was like a single piano key producing a clear sound that lasted for nine days. Researchers tracked the signal to a huge snowslide in eastern Greenland’s Dickson fjord (峡湾), which was formed by melting (融化) ice due to climate change. Some 1.2 kilometers above the fjord, a mountaintop fell, driving more than 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice into the water-enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The resulting tsunami (海啸) reached a height of 200 meters. The wave’s energy was caught in the rocky fjord, causing the water to move back and forth. This movement created the seismic signal. Svennevig noted that understanding this event took time. Even when they had ideas about what happened, they needed more information and improved models to support their findings. “We could only show that the tsunami was caught and kept moving inside the fjord for nine days after we used special army maps and improved our tsunami models,” Svennevig explained. To the researchers, the signal served as a wakeup call-similar events may happen with landfalls in other fjords or lakes due to climate change, which could lead to more landfalls and tsunamis in the Arctic. Understanding this event helps scientists learn more about how the Earth is changing due to global warming. There is still much to discover as we face the effects of climate change. 8. Why did Svennevig mention piano keys? A. To explain the strange signal. B. To introduce a musical instrument. C. To compare the sounds in nature. D. To give tips on playing the piano. 9. What caused the seismic signal? A. A wildfire. B. A snowslide. C. A heavy rain. D. An earthquake. 10. What can we know from Svennevig’s words? A. It’ll take much time to receive the seismic signal. B. It’s slow for scientists to find an answer to the event. C. A group of scientists was caught in the deadly tsunami. D. The researchers will make public the recent finding soon. 11. What does the author stress in the text? A. Landfalls always happen along with tsunamis. B. Scientists should keep an open mind on opinions. C. This event may shape our view on various cultures. D. The signal gives us fair warning of climate change. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是受气候变化影响，格陵兰岛东部迪克森峡湾的一次巨大雪崩，从而产生了地震信号。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Svennevig compared earthquakes to hitting piano keys with force, creating a mix of sounds that disappeared quickly. However, the unusual signal was like a single piano key producing a clear sound that lasted for nine days.(Svennevig将地震比作用力敲击钢琴键，创造出一种很快消失的混合声音。然而，这个不寻常的信号就像一个钢琴琴键发出的清晰声音，持续了九天。)”可知，Svennevig提到钢琴琴键来解释这个奇怪的信号。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。与文章第四段“Researchers tracked the signal to a huge snowslide in eastern Greenland’s Dickson fjord (峡湾), which was formed by melting (融化) ice due to climate change. Some 1.2 kilometers above the fjord, a mountaintop fell, driving more than 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice into the water-enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.(研究人员将信号追踪到格陵兰岛东部迪克森峡湾的一场巨大雪崩，这场雪崩是由气候变化导致的冰川融化形成的。在峡湾上方约1.2公里处，一座山顶坍塌，将2500多万立方米的岩石和冰块冲入水中，足以填满1万个奥运会标准游泳池。)”可知，格陵兰岛东部迪克森峡湾的一场巨大雪崩引发了这种异常的地震信号。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“Svennevig noted that understanding this event took time. Even when they had ideas about what happened, they needed more information and improved models to support their findings. (Svennevig指出，理解这一事件需要时间。即使他们对发生的事情有想法，他们也需要更多的信息和改进的模型来支持他们的发现。)”可知，科学家们需要更多的信息和改进的模型来支持他们的发现，由此可推断，科学家们要找到这一事件的答案很缓慢。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“To the researchers, the signal served as a wakeup call-similar events may happen with landfalls in other fjords or lakes due to climate change, which could lead to more landfalls and tsunamis in the Arctic. Understanding this event helps scientists learn more about how the Earth is changing due to global warming. There is still much to discover as we face the effects of climate change.(对于研究人员来说，这个信号是一个警钟，由于气候变化，其他峡湾或湖泊的登陆也可能发生类似的事件，这可能会导致北极更多的登陆和海啸。了解这一事件有助于科学家更多地了解地球如何因全球变暖而变化。面对气候变化的影响，我们仍有许多发现。)”可知，作者强调，这一信号是为我们提供了气候变化的警告。故选D项。 D Bruce has been missing the upper part of his beak (喙) since at least 2012. This makes the parrot look different. But scientists are more surprised at what he can do in spite of his injury. When he was saved, this young bird, just at the age he was learning to fly, went to live at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch, southern New Zealand. Long, sharp beaks help parrots find insects in the woods. Bruce’s injured beak means he couldn’t forage on his own. Normally these birds use their beaks to keep their feathers (羽毛) clean, but Bruce couldn’t. However, researchers noticed that Bruce had his own way to do it. First, he looks for his tool among pointy small stones. He then rolls a few stones around in his mouth with his tongue until he finds one that he likes. He holds the chosen stone between his tongue and lower beak to pick through his feathers. This behavior didn’t come from the wild. When Bruce arrived at Willowbank, he was too young to learn it. And no other bird at Willowbank uses stones this way. “It seems like he just creates this tool for himself,” says Amalia Bastos, who researches how animals understand the world. Tool use is just one of parrots’ many skills. The birds are famous for copying-and perhaps even understanding-human speech. These make the birds seem quite smart. But studying intelligence (智力) is difficult, especially in animals other than humans. Researchers once thought these skills made humans special. But some other animals also practice these skills, such as dolphins and elephants. So do parrots. Even so, parrots may not be an obvious choice for studying human-like intelligence. Parrots’ bodies are very different than ours. Their brains also look quite simple compared to ours. But studies over the last 10 years are highlighting the hidden powers of bird brains. And those powers suggest parrots may be able to teach us about what human-like intelligence is like. 12. What can be learned about Bruce before he lived at Willowbank? A. He was badly hurt. B. He was kept at a zoo. C. He was old enough. D. He was lost in the woods. 13. Which best explains the word “forage” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Cry out for help. B. Turn up in time. C. Search for food. D. Live with others. 14. What can we infer about Bruce? A. He taught himself to use tools. B. He always ran into trouble. C. He failed to build a new home. D. He learnt the skill in the wild. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Taking Action to Protect Parrots B. Knowing Animals’ Survival Skill C. Scientists Raise Young Parrots in the Lab D. Parrots May Be Smarter than We Thought 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一只失去上喙的鹦鹉Bruce学会使用石头来整理自己的羽毛，从而认为鹦鹉可能比我们想象的更聪明。 【12题详解】 推理判断题题。由文章第一段“Bruce has been missing the upper part of his beak (喙) since at least 2012. (至少从2012年开始，Bruce 就失去了喙的上半部分)”以及第二段“When he was saved, this young bird, just at the age he was learning to fly, went to live at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch, southern New Zealand.(当它获救时，这只幼鸟，就在它学习飞行的年龄，去了新西兰南部克赖斯特彻奇的Willowbank野生动物保护区生活)”可推知，Bruce在住Willowbank之前受了重伤。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段“Long, sharp beaks help parrots find insects in the woods. Bruce’s injured beak means he couldn’t forage on his own. (长而尖的喙帮助鹦鹉在树林里找到昆虫。Bruce受伤的喙意味着他不能自己 。)”可知，喙帮助鹦鹉寻找昆虫吃，没有喙它就难以“觅食”，所以猜测forage表“觅食”的意思。故选C项。 14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“This behavior didn’t come from the wild. When Bruce arrived at Willowbank, he was too young to learn it. And no other bird at Willowbank uses stones this way. ‘It seems like he just creates this tool for himself,’ says Amalia Bastos, who researches how animals understand the world.(这种行为并非来自野外。当Bruce到Willowbank时，它还太小，无法学会这种行为。Willowbank没有其他鸟会这样用石头。研究动物如何理解世界的Amalia Bastos说，‘它似乎只是为自己创造了这个工具。’)”可推知，Bruce自学了如何使用工具。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第六段“Tool use is just one of parrots’ many skills. The birds are famous for copying-and perhaps even understanding-human speech. These make the birds seem quite smart. But studying intelligence (智力) is difficult, especially in animals other than humans.(使用工具只是鹦鹉的众多技能之一。这些鸟以模仿甚至理解人类语言而闻名。这些鸟看起来很聪明。但研究智力是困难的，尤其是在人类以外的动物身上)”以及最后一段中“And those powers suggest parrots may be able to teach us about what human-like intelligence is like.(而这些能力表明，鹦鹉可能能够教会我们关于类似人类的智能是什么样的)”结合全文内容可知，文章通过讲述一只失去上喙的鹦鹉Bruce学会使用石头来整理自己的羽毛，从而说明鹦鹉可能比我们想象的更聪明。故D选项“鹦鹉可能比我们想象的要更聪明”最适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For a long time, I thought only skinny and strong people could finish the half marathon (马拉松) at the Baltimore Running Festival. ____16____. Preparing for the event has taught me some valuable lessons I’d like to share. Train yourself as people first and marathoners second. ____17____. It is the confidence that will carry you across the finish line on the race day. The saying “life is a marathon, not a short run” applies! Make sure to take your time. ____18____. Your goal is to get comfortable running three to four times a week, with your longest run being roughly 5 or 6 miles. ____19____. Once you’ve completed your basic training, look for a training program that lasts about four months. Week-to-week, the plan should guide you to increase the distance by no more than 10 to 15% a week. Don’t go to the coach who pushes you too hard in a single training cycle. It could result in injuries. Running a marathon is an investment (投入) of time and money. If you’re going to spend your hard-earned money somewhere, it’s worth investing in an excellent pair of running shoes. ____20____. A. Sign up for a race B. Choose a training plan that’s safe C. But last year, I eventually made up my mind to have a try D. Keep your relationship to your training program a positive one. E. It’s much cheaper to buy a new pair of shoes than to visit a doctor F. You can start by running 1 or 1.5 miles and build up week after week G. It means doing the basic training at an easy pace that can give you confidence 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者在准备马拉松阶段学到了一些方法。 【16题详解】 根据空前“For a long time, I thought only skinny and strong people could finish the half marathon (马拉松) at the Baltimore Running Festival.(很长时间以来，我一直认为只有瘦和强壮的人才能完成马拉松比赛。)”和空后“Preparing for the event has taught me some valuable lessons I’d like to share.(准备这项赛事教会了我一些我想要分享的有价值的教训。)”可知，空前提到作者认为只有瘦和强壮的人才能完成马拉松比赛，而下文又提到作者为参加马拉松比赛做准备，因此C项“但是去年，我最终决定试一试”承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Train yourself as people first and marathoners second.(把训练自己作为首要任务，其次才是马拉松。)”可知，作者建议把训练自己作为首要任务，其次才是训练马拉松， G项中的“It means doing the basic training”与空前的“Train yourself”相呼应，且G项中的“can give you confidence”与空后的“It is the confidence that will carry you across the finish line on the race day.”相呼应，故G项“这意味着以轻松的速度进行基本的训练，这可以给你信心。”符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Make sure to take your time.(确保不着急，慢慢来。)”可知，作者建议要慢慢来，不要着急，故F项中的“build up week after week”与空前的“take your time”相呼应， F项“你可以从跑1英里或1.5英里开始，然后每周增加。”符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据空后“Once you’ve completed your basic training, look for a training program that lasts about four months.(一旦你完成了基本的训练，就找一个持续四个月的训练计划。)”可知，空前提到一旦你完成了基本的训练，就找一个持续四个月的训练计划， B项中的“a training plan”与空后的“a training program”相呼应，且根据本段内容“Don’t go to the coach who pushes you too hard in a single training cycle. It could result in injuries.(不要去找那些在单个训练周期把你逼得太紧的教练。这可能会带来伤害。)”可知，后文提到了需要注意安全，故B项“选择一个安全的训练计划”符合语境。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“If you’re going to spend your hard-earned money somewhere, it’s worth investing in an excellent pair of running shoes.(如果你想要把辛苦挣来的钱花在某个地方，买一双好的跑鞋是值得的。)”可知，E项“买一双新鞋比看医生便宜得多。”是空前的顺义承接，如果你打算把钱花在某个地方，那么买一双好的跑鞋是值得的，毕竟买一双新鞋比看医生便宜得多，E项中的“buy a new pair of shoes”与空前的“investing in an excellent pair of running shoes”相呼应，故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On the way home, Corey Widmer found himself stuck in the middle of rush hour traffic.

Despite her efforts, she often found herself feeling overwhelmed by the hardship of city life. One cold evening, as Emily got home from her second job, she noticed a homeless man on the street corner, shaking under a thin blanket (毯子). His eyes, filled with a mixture of hopelessness and tiredness, met hers briefly before he lowered his head. Without a second thought, Emily approached the man and offered him her scarf. “Here, you must be cold,” she said softly, putting the scarf around his shoulders. The man looked up at her, his eyes widening in surprise at this unexpected act of kindness. “Thank you,” he said. From that day on, Emily made it a habit to stop and chat with the homeless man, whose name she learned was Greg. She brought him hot meals, blankets, and sometimes even books to pass the time. In return, Greg shared stories of his past — a life once filled with love and laughter, now lost to the cold streets. As the days passed by, Emily found herself looking forward to their daily encounters (相遇). In Greg, she found a similar spirit—a gentle soul beat by life’s hardships but still resilient (坚韧的). And in Emily, Greg found a light of hope — a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there are still pockets of light to be found. One evening, as Emily sat beside Greg on the cold street, she noticed something unusual in his eyes. “What is it, Greg?” she asked, sensing his unspoken thoughts. Greg hesitated fora moment before speaking, his voice shaking with emotion. “I want to change my life, Emily,” he said. “I want to leave these streets behind and start anew.” 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。 “I believe in you, Greg,” Emily smiled, with pride for her friend. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One sunny afternoon, Greg went to the same street corner. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “I believe in you, Greg,” Emily smiled, with pride for her friend. She placed a hand on his shoulder. “And I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.” With Emily’s support, Greg started a new journey. He worked in local shelters to rebuild his life from the ground up. Later, he found a job to support himself. Then he rented a small apartment, where he could enjoy good sleep and hot food. He bore in mind that through it all, Emily stood by his side, offering encouragement. One sunny afternoon, Greg went to the same street corner. He waited there until he noticed a familiar figure approaching — yes, it was Emily. Greg’s eyes were bright with joy. “Emily,” he called out, his voice filled with excitement. “Thank you for believing in me when no one else would. You’ve given me a second chance at life, and I’ll never forget it!” Tears welled up in Emily’s eyes as she saw a totally different Greg. “You did this all on your own, Greg,” she said, her heart overflowing with pride. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾米莉在城市中艰难度日，但她仍然对无家可归的格雷格施以援手，帮助他重拾生活希望的故事。 【详解】由第一段首句内容“我相信你，格雷格，艾米莉微笑着，为她的朋友感到骄傲。”可知，第一段可描写艾米莉如何鼓励格雷格，并帮助他走出困境。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个阳光明媚的下午，格雷格去了同一个街角”可知，第二段可描写雷格如何感谢艾米莉，以及艾米莉的感受。 2. 续写线索：鼓励——求助——重拾信心——感谢——感受 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage / support / inspire ②感谢：thank / express gratitude / show appreciation ③放置：place/put ④重新建造：rebuild/reconstruct 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/pleasure ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] Then he rented a small apartment, where he could enjoy good sleep and hot food.

These places show you traditions, communities and history - and inspire you to dig deeper. National WWII Museum, New Orleans, the US The National WWII Museum has several buildings, each covering different aspects of the war. Late last year, it opened the Liberation Pavilion, which explores the final years of the war. Visitors can step into re-creations of the secret building in Amsterdam where Anne Frank’s family lived and the salt mine where people uncovered treasured works of art hidden by the Nazis. Liamuiga Natural Farms, St. Kitts On Phillips Mountain, in St. Kitts, this coffee farm has recently started hosting three-course lunches for visitors. The Kellys and the Mikes, the two families run the farm, serve dishes using local produce and specialties including chips, saltfish and homemade coffee ice cream. “As you explore Liamuiga Natural Farms, you’re not just a guest,” says co-owner Tiffany Mike, “you’re a part of our work to protect the environment, uphold Kittiian traditions, and create a better future.” Canadian Canoe Museum, Ontario, Canada What is one of the best things about visiting the world’s largest collection of canoes (独木舟)? You can actually paddle (划船) up to it. The boat-shaped building, which has its opening in May, is located by the lakeside in Peterborough. After admiring the museum’s collection or taking a lesson in making paddles from Anishinaabe artists, visitors can start a group boat tour of Little Lake. NorEste Trail, Puerto Rico An hour’s drive east of San Juan, Puerto Rico’s first backpacking path, the NorEste Trail lets visitors “hike in a rainforest, be on a mountaintop in the clouds, and go to the beach, all in the same day,” El Yunque forest supervisor (主管) Keenan Adams said. Organizations like Love in Motion connect hikers with local culture through family-owned traditional food stands along the 40-mile journey. 1. What does the Liberation Pavilion focus on? A. The rise of a city. B. The end of WWII. C. American artists. D. Modern buildings. 2. What is a purpose of Liamuiga Natural Farms? A. To cover latest events. B. To show how to make a meal. C. To keep local traditions. D. To teach tourists to run a farm. 3. Which will attract visitors who want to explore a rainforest? A. NorEste Trail. B. National WWII Museum. C. Liamuiga Natural Farms. D. Canadian Canoe Museum. B I began learning languages at the age of five, when my parents sent me to an after-school French class at my primary school. My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language! I don’t remember much from those early classes, aside from learning different colours and days of the week over and over, but I do know that it was during these moments that I first discovered the joy of journeying away from my surroundings with words. Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination. I stuck with French as I grew up; it was one of those strong relationships that provides comfort. It wasn’t until I began learning Spanish (西班牙语) at age 11 that I experienced a more transformative (变化的) relationship with languages. Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language. After years of studying Spanish at school, and living in Spain, my Spanish came to match, and perhaps even exceed (超过), my English. Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish. Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot. 4. What is the author’s native language? A. French. B. English. C. Spanish. D. Chinese. 5. Why did the author feel enjoyable in French class? A. He could picture an amazing world. B. He had no homework to do. C. He could turn to his parents for help. D. He found it similar to English. 6. How is Spanish different from other languages for the author? A. It uses a host of simpler words. B. It leads to more misunderstanding. C. It has more difficult grammar rules. D. It allows him to better express feelings. 7. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. He succeeded at the cost of hard work. B. Learning a language takes too much time. C. Spanish brings the happy past into his mind. D. He often misses the vacation spent in the UK. C Last September, a strange seismic signal (地震信号), lasting more than a week, attracted the attention of researchers around the world. It took 68 experts from 15 countries to discover the cause of the “USO” -Unidentified Seismic Object. The term USO is used informally by scientists for unusual seismic signals that can’t be explained, according to Kristian Svennevig, the lead author of a new report on this signal. From the start, scientists agreed this signal was not from an earthquake. Svennevig compared earthquakes to hitting piano keys with force, creating a mix of sounds that disappeared quickly. However, the unusual signal was like a single piano key producing a clear sound that lasted for nine days. Researchers tracked the signal to a huge snowslide in eastern Greenland’s Dickson fjord (峡湾), which was formed by melting (融化) ice due to climate change. Some 1.2 kilometers above the fjord, a mountaintop fell, driving more than 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice into the water-enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The resulting tsunami (海啸) reached a height of 200 meters. The wave’s energy was caught in the rocky fjord, causing the water to move back and forth. This movement created the seismic signal. Svennevig noted that understanding this event took time. Even when they had ideas about what happened, they needed more information and improved models to support their findings. “We could only show that the tsunami was caught and kept moving inside the fjord for nine days after we used special army maps and improved our tsunami models,” Svennevig explained. To the researchers, the signal served as a wakeup call-similar events may happen with landfalls in other fjords or lakes due to climate change, which could lead to more landfalls and tsunamis in the Arctic. Understanding this event helps scientists learn more about how the Earth is changing due to global warming. There is still much to discover as we face the effects of climate change. 8. Why did Svennevig mention piano keys? A. To explain the strange signal. B. To introduce a musical instrument. C. To compare the sounds in nature. D. To give tips on playing the piano. 9. What caused the seismic signal? A. A wildfire. B. A snowslide. C. A heavy rain. D. An earthquake. 10. What can we know from Svennevig’s words? A. It’ll take much time to receive the seismic signal. B. It’s slow for scientists to find an answer to the event. C. A group of scientists was caught in the deadly tsunami. D. The researchers will make public the recent finding soon. 11. What does the author stress in the text? A. Landfalls always happen along with tsunamis. B. Scientists should keep an open mind on opinions. C This event may shape our view on various cultures. D. The signal gives us fair warning of climate change. D Bruce has been missing the upper part of his beak (喙) since at least 2012. This makes the parrot look different. But scientists are more surprised at what he can do in spite of his injury. When he was saved, this young bird, just at the age he was learning to fly, went to live at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch, southern New Zealand. Long, sharp beaks help parrots find insects in the woods. Bruce’s injured beak means he couldn’t forage on his own. Normally these birds use their beaks to keep their feathers (羽毛) clean, but Bruce couldn’t. However, researchers noticed that Bruce had his own way to do it. First, he looks for his tool among pointy small stones. He then rolls a few stones around in his mouth with his tongue until he finds one that he likes. He holds the chosen stone between his tongue and lower beak to pick through his feathers. This behavior didn’t come from the wild. When Bruce arrived at Willowbank, he was too young to learn it. And no other bird at Willowbank uses stones this way. “It seems like he just creates this tool for himself,” says Amalia Bastos, who researches how animals understand the world. Tool use is just one of parrots’ many skills. The birds are famous for copying-and perhaps even understanding-human speech. These make the birds seem quite smart. But studying intelligence (智力) is difficult, especially in animals other than humans. Researchers once thought these skills made humans special. But some other animals also practice these skills, such as dolphins and elephants. So do parrots. Even so, parrots may not be an obvious choice for studying human-like intelligence. Parrots’ bodies are very different than ours. Their brains also look quite simple compared to ours. But studies over the last 10 years are highlighting the hidden powers of bird brains.

Despite her efforts, she often found herself feeling overwhelmed by the hardship of city life. One cold evening, as Emily got home from her second job, she noticed a homeless man on the street corner, shaking under a thin blanket (毯子). His eyes, filled with a mixture of hopelessness and tiredness, met hers briefly before he lowered his head. Without a second thought, Emily approached the man and offered him her scarf. “Here, you must be cold,” she said softly, putting the scarf around his shoulders. The man looked up at her, his eyes widening in surprise at this unexpected act of kindness. “Thank you,” he said. From that day on, Emily made it a habit to stop and chat with the homeless man, whose name she learned was Greg. She brought him hot meals, blankets, and sometimes even books to pass the time. In return, Greg shared stories of his past — a life once filled with love and laughter, now lost to the cold streets. As the days passed by, Emily found herself looking forward to their daily encounters (相遇). In Greg, she found a similar spirit—a gentle soul beat by life’s hardships but still resilient (坚韧的). And in Emily, Greg found a light of hope — a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there are still pockets of light to be found. One evening, as Emily sat beside Greg on the cold street, she noticed something unusual in his eyes. “What is it, Greg?” she asked, sensing his unspoken thoughts. Greg hesitated fora moment before speaking, his voice shaking with emotion. “I want to change my life, Emily,” he said. “I want to leave these streets behind and start anew.” 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。 “I believe in you, Greg,” Emily smiled, with pride for her friend. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One sunny afternoon, Greg went to the same street corner. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1～5 ABBCB 6～10 CAABC 11～15 CCABA 16～20 CABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
