Many dogs were being kept outside, and there’s no way they would have survived. M: So what did the shelter do? W: They called for local people to take the dogs in, just until the weather warmed up again. And they received amazing responses. All 123 dogs found homes for the time being. M: Wow, that’s great! W: Even the police, who came to issue parking tickets to cars around the shelter, ended up taking a dog back to the station! M: No way! W: Better yet, after the weather warmed up, only 30 dogs were returned to the shelter. Most people decided to keep them. M: Well, I’d call that a happy ending. So…why are you crying? W: I don’t know!

Central Americans. C. Asians. 18. What is Japanese counting practice like? A. They start with a closed hand. B. They end with the first finger. C. They close a finger for each count. 19.

Why can the Indian finger counting method support complex calculations? A. The gap between the fingers is counted. B. Each finger represents several numbers. C. Fingers of each hand are used four times. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: Hi everyone. Today, I’d like to tell you about my current research topic. “Dactylonomy”, or the practice of counting on one’s fingers, feels so natural that you might assume that everyone does it the same way. However, people around the world actually have very different methods. If you’re from the U.K., Germany, France, or many parts of Europe, you probably start counting with your thumb, and finish with your smallest finger. Meanwhile, some people in America start with the first finger and end with the thumb. In parts of the Middle East, most people begin with the smallest finger, while the Japanese start with an open hand and gradually draw in each finger until they have a closed fist. Other countries have even more unique methods. Many Bantu-speakers in Tanzania use both hands equally, where possible. For example, the number six is represented with three fingers on each hand. Indian children are taught to count using the lines between each finger joint. This allows for more advanced calculations, as each of the five fingers represents four numbers. Not only can finger counting reveal where in the world you come from, but it can also reflect how we learned to understand numbers. 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A GLOBALTIMES ENGLISH EDITION IS HIRING NOW Senior English news editors/reporters ●Have master degrees in journalism or other related majors, and overseas study experience preferred; ●Have a strong news sensitivity, excellent English skills and be able to independently conduct interviews and write news stories in English; Bilingual talents in Japanese, French, German and others are preferred; ●Have good communication and teamwork skills; be able to adapt to business trips and work night shifts under high working pressure.

Liz explains that as a result, she and her sister were neglected.”(她的父母都是可卡因瘾君子，他们花了家里大部分的钱来满足自己的毒瘾。莉兹解释说，结果，她和她的妹妹被忽视了。)可知，莉兹和姐姐被忽视是因为父母吸毒成瘾。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“She refused to end up like her mom and decided that the best way to avoid that fate was to go back to school.”(她拒绝重蹈母亲的覆辙，认为避免这种命运的最好办法就是回到学校。)和第二段“Liz Murray stuck to her plan firmly. She stood out in her high school courses in an accelerated two-year program. Liz Murray applied for a New York Times scholarship offered to needy local students. New York Times was looking to make a difference by helping kids who had overcome obstacles. Her story apparently came through loud and clear.”(莉兹·默里坚定地坚持了她的计划。她在高中两年的速成课程中表现突出。Liz Murray申请了纽约时报提供给当地贫困学生的奖学金。《纽约时报》希望通过帮助那些克服困难的孩子来改变现状。她的故事清晰而响亮。)可推知，莉兹通过在短时间内完成高中课程来实现了自己回到学校的目标。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和第二句“When she looks back on where she has come from and the burdens her parents gave her, Liz says that she is neither bitter nor angry.

What is the magic of “The Lonely Brave”? “The Lonely Brave” itself is the Chinese theme song of the cartoon “League of Legends: Battle of the Two Cities”. The song is sung by Eason Chan, written by Tang Tian and composed by Qian Lei. Tang Tian has been fond of music and writing since she was a child. When her talent was gradually recognized, unluckily, in 2012, she was diagnosed with stage III nasopharyngeal cancer. Instead of yielding, she actively cooperated with the treatment. In November 2021, Tang Tian wrote the song for her idol Eason Chan. Two students from a primary school in Wuhan, Hubei, played the song on the piano, arousing many onlookers, and slowly everyone sang along. The video went viral(传播)as soon as it was posted on the Internet. Then, a video of a drum player in Guizhou was also circulated on the Internet. What exactly is this song that has conquered tens of thousands of children? Let’s see what the children have to say. “I like the last line of the lyrics(歌词), who said that those who stand in the light are heroes, and if there is no flash, those who are unknown are not heroes?” “The lonely brave people are those who are not afraid of hardships and risk their lives to cut thorns for others or themselves. They dare to fight and fight against fate.” “After listening to the song, I thought of the delivery boy. Go? Is it worthy? This ragged cloak(披风). Fight? Fight! With the humble dreams, they all play the role of ordinary people in their lives and try to fight for their dreams.” The lonely hero in everyone’s heart is different, but they are all those who shine in the dark without expecting anything in return. 28. What can you learn about the song “The Lonely Brave”? A. The explosion of the song is expected. B. The song is written by Tang Tian after her recovery. C. The song is less attractive than the cartoon “League of Legends”. D. The two students’ video became an instant hit when posted on the Internet. 29. What does the underlined word “yielding” mean? A. Ignorance. B. Give-up C. Disapproval. D. Anger. 30. Why is the song “The Lonely Brave” popular with elementary school students? A. Its lyrics are inspiring. B. It is sung by Eason Chan. C. It reflects the life of children. D. It is of a traditional ethnic style. 31. Who are “the lonely brave” in children’s heart? A. Those hiding in the dark. B. Those standing in the light. C. Those with adventurous tastes. D. Those with bravery and devotion. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《孤勇者》这首歌的创作过程和它流行的原因。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Two students from a primary school in Wuhan, Hubei, played the song on the piano, arousing many onlookers, and slowly everyone sang along. The video went viral(传播)as soon as it was posted on the Internet.（湖北武汉一所小学的两名学生在钢琴上弹奏了这首歌，引起了许多旁观者的围观，大家慢慢地跟着唱了起来。 这段视频一经发布就在网上疯传）”可知，这两名学生的视频一经发布就在网上引起了轰动。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前面的一句“When her talent was gradually recognized, unluckily, in 2012, she was diagnosed with stage III nasopharyngeal cancer.（当她的才能逐渐得到认可时，不幸的是，在2012年，她被诊断出患有鼻咽癌III期）”可知，唐恬被诊断出患有鼻咽癌III期；再由划线单词前的“instead of”和划线单词后的“she actively cooperated with the treatment”可知，虽然唐恬被诊断出患有鼻咽癌III期，但是她并没有屈服，而是积极配合治疗。所以，划线单词“yielding”的意义为“屈服，让步”。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章中引用孩子们所说的话“I like the last line of the lyrics(歌词), who said that those who stand in the light are heroes, and if there is no flash, those who are unknown are not heroes?（我喜欢歌词的最后一句，谁说站在光明里的人是英雄，而如果没有闪光，那些默默无闻的人不是英雄?）”，“The lonely brave people are those who are not afraid of hardships and risk their lives to cut thorns for others or themselves. They dare to fight and fight against fate.（孤勇者是那些不畏艰辛，冒着生命危险为别人或自己披荆斩棘的人。他们敢于与命运抗争和抗争）”，“After listening to the song, I thought of the delivery boy. Go? Is it worthy? This ragged cloak(披风). Fight? Fight! With the humble dreams, they all play the role of ordinary people in their lives and try to fight for their dreams.（听了这首歌，我想到了外卖小哥。去吗？值得吗？这件破烂的斗篷, 战吗？战啊！带着卑微的梦想。他们都在生活中扮演着普通人的角色，努力为自己的梦想而战）”可以推论出，《孤勇者》这首歌在小学生中流行的原因是它的歌词令人鼓舞。故选A项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中几个孩子说的话和最后一段“The lonely hero in everyone’s heart is different, but they are all those who shine in the dark without expecting anything in return.（每个人心中的孤独英雄都是不同的，但他们都是那些在黑暗中发光而不求回报的人）”可知，孩子们心目中的孤勇者是那些勇敢且无私奉献的人。故选D项。 D There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or years. Sometimes information in the long-term memory is hard to remember. Students taking exams often have this experience. In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. Dr. Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special device which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was a light in each door. First, the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next, one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunter did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. Hunter’s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds. Later, Dr. Henning studied how people learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. To begin with, the participants listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the participants took a 15-question test where they circled the word they remembered having in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sounded alike, while others had four choices having the same meaning. Henning found that people with a lower level in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; people with a higher level made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning learners hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, while advanced learners hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory. 32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Repetition contributes to people’s short-term memory. B. The information in long-term memory is easier to forget. C. People can rarely memorize the information learnt when young. D. Students taking exams are experienced in long-term memory. 33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How the rat experiment was conducted. B. The process of rats’ developing memory. C. Why the rat experiment was carried out. D. The relationship between rats’ memory and intelligence. 34. Who might participate in Dr. Henning’s experiment? A. A Chinese expert in second language learning. B. An American student learning a second language. C. A British teacher teaching English as a second language. D. A Korean employee learning English as a second language. 35. What does Henning’s experiment suggest? A. Beginning learners have a bad memory. B. Beginning learners depend more on short-term memory. C. Advanced learners easily remember words according to their pronunciation. D. Advanced learners can confuse the words just heard with those meaning the same. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是人类的短时间记忆以及Henning的不同程度英语学习者的记忆实验。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over.(相比之下，短期记忆中的信息只能保持几秒钟，通常是通过反复重复信息。)”可知，重复有助于人们的短期记忆。故选A。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“He used a special device which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was a light in each door. First, the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next, one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there.(他使用了一种特殊的装置，里面有一个老鼠笼子和三个门。每扇门上都有一盏灯。首先，老鼠被放在封闭的笼子里。接下来，其中一盏灯被打开然后关闭。只有在这扇门那里才有给老鼠吃的东西。关了灯之后，老鼠必须等上一小段时间，然后才能从笼子里放出来。然后，如果它走对了门，就会得到那里的食物作为奖励。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是老鼠实验是怎么进行的，故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Later, Dr. Henning studied how people learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.(后来，亨宁博士研究了作为第二语言学习英语的人是如何记忆词汇的。)”可知，参与亨宁博士的实验的可能是把英语作为第二语言学习的韩国职员。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“people with a higher level made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning(水平高的人会在意思相同的单词上犯更多的错误)”可知，亨宁的实验说明了高级学习者会把刚刚听到的单词和意思相同的单词混淆。故选D。 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。 Going on vacation every week might sound like the very unattainable dream. ____36____.

We asked experts to share their favorite tips for adopting a vacation mindset at home.(加州大学洛杉矶分校安德森管理学院(UCLA’s Anderson School of Management)教授霍姆斯(Cassie Mogilner Holmes)建议，你所需要做的就是养成把周末当成度假的习惯。我们请专家们分享了他们最喜欢的在家养成度假心态的建议。)”可知，上文提到每周度假听起来是不可能实现的梦想，下文提到养成把周末当成度假的习惯，并且说明要分享在家养成度假心态的建议，上下文形成转折关系。F项：But a simple mindset shift can make it happen with no travel involved.(但是一个简单的心态转变可以让你在不旅行的情况下做到这一点。)符合语境。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Some people have to bear weekend schedules packed with work.(有些人不得不忍受周末满满的工作安排。)”可知，上文应该提到并不是每个人都有周末双休。G项：Not everyone has Saturday and Sunday or any two continuous days off work.(不是每个人都有周六和周日或连续两天休息。)符合语境。故选G。 【38题详解】 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Decision scientist Nika Kabiri recommends doing something totally new so you can disconnect from the same old routines governing your life. Among her favorite ideas: Drive to a part of town you’ve never been to before, go for a city walk, and grab lunch at the first cute café you see. Or take a bike or boat tour of your city.(决策科学家尼卡·卡比里建议做一些全新的事情，这样你就可以从控制你生活的旧套路中解脱出来。她最喜欢的主意之一是：开车去一个你从未去过的地方，在城里散散步，在你看到的第一家可爱的咖啡馆里吃午饭。或者骑自行车或乘船游览你的城市。)”可知，下文列举了一些游客经常做的事情，A项：Act like a tourist.(表现得像个游客。)符合语境。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Among her favorite ideas: Drive to a part of town you’ve never been to before, go for a city walk, and grab lunch at the first cute café you see. Or take a bike or boat tour of your city.(她最喜欢的主意之一是：开车去一个你从未去过的地方，在城里散散步，在你看到的第一家可爱的咖啡馆里吃午饭。或者骑自行车或乘船游览你的城市。)”可知，上文提到开车去一个从未到过的地方，去游走，去咖啡店吃午餐，或是骑车或是乘船游览生活的城市，空处承接上文，所有这些行为都会把周末过得跟度假似的。E项：All the experiences make you feel the weekend vacation-like.(所有的经历都让你觉得周末像度假一样。)符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“If your “vacation” encounters a few unexpected affairs or lasts for only a few hours, don’t be annoyed.(如果你的“假期”遇到了一些意想不到的事情，或者只持续了几个小时，不要生气。)”和下文“Don’t put pressure on yourself to have this “perfect vacation”.(不要给自己压力去过这个“完美的假期”。)”可知，如果假日与一些突如其来的工作不期而遇，不要恼火，不要因为“完美假期”的预期而给自己强加压力，C项：It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.(不需要事事追求完美。)符合语境。故选C。 第三部分：语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was 7:00 P.M.

Many people may wonder ____56____ the seeds are stored. One of the major reasons is to preserve the genes that plant growers need to increase yield (产量), disease resistance, drought tolerance, nutritional quality, and the taste of crops. Another is to prevent ____57____ (lose) of genetic diversity in rare or endangered plant species in ____58____ effort to conserve biodiversity. Many plants ____59____ (grow) centuries ago by humans are used less frequently now; seed banks offer a way to preserve that historical and cultural value. Collections of seeds stored ____60____ constant low temperature and low water level are guarded against reduction of genetic resources which are otherwise maintained in field collections. These alternative “living” collections can ____61____ (damage) by natural disasters, outbreaks of disease, ____62____ war. Containing valuable information about evolved strategies to reduce plant stress, seed banks are considered seed ____63____ (library), and can help to create genetically modified (调整过的) versions of ____64____ (exist) seeds. The work of seed banks often span decades and even centuries. Most seed banks are _____65_____ (public) funded and seeds are usually available for research that benefits the public. 【答案】56. why 57. loss 58. an 59. grown 60. at 61. be damaged 62. or 63. libraries 64. existing 65. publicly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了“种子银行”。 【56题详解】 考查名词性从句。句意：许多人可能想知道为什么要储存种子。“____1____ the seeds are stored”在句中作动词wonder的宾语从句，设空处在从句中作状语，根据下文“One of the major reasons is to preserve the genes that plant growers need to increase yield (产量), disease resistance, drought tolerance, nutritional quality, and the taste of crops. Another is to prevent ____2____ (lose) of genetic diversity in rare or endangered plant species in ____3____ effort to conserve biodiversity.”，可知此处应使用why引导名词性从句，表示“为什么，……的原因”。故填why。 【57题详解】 考查名词。句意：另一个原因是防止稀有或濒危植物物种的遗传多样性丧失，努力保护生物多样性。设空处在句中作动词prevent的宾语，应填动词lose的名词loss。故填loss。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：另一个原因是防止稀有或濒危植物物种的遗传多样性丧失，努力保护生物多样性。effort“艰难的尝试，试图，尽力”为可数名词，此处表泛指，应填不定冠词；固定短语in an effort to do sth，意为“为了达到……目标，为了……”，空后effort以元音音素开头，设空处应填不定冠词an。故填an。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：人类在几个世纪前种植的许多植物现在使用的频率较低；种子银行提供了一种保护历史和文化价值的方法。 “____4____ (grow) centuries ago by humans”作后置定语修饰名词短语Many plants，Many plants与动词grow构成逻辑上的被动关系，结合空后的“centuries ago by humans”可知设空处应填grow的过去分词表被动。故填grown。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：在恒定的低温和低水位条件下保存的种子可以防止遗传资源的减少，而这些遗传资源是在田间收集中保存的。句中指“在恒定的低温低水位状态下保存”，“在……温度/水位”用介词at和temperature和water level进行搭配。故填at。 【61题详解】 考查动词的时态语态。句意：这些可供选择的“活”藏品可能会因自然灾害、疾病爆发或战争而受损。设空处在句中与can构成谓语，主语These alternative “living” collections与动词damage之间为被动关系，由情态动词can可知设空处应填be done构成被动语态。故填be damaged。 【62题详解】 考查连词。句意：这些可供选择的“活”藏品可能会因自然灾害、疾病爆发或战争而受损。句中“natural disasters, outbreaks of disease”与“war”之间为并列关系，设空处应填连词连接三种可能的情况，连词or“或者”符合句意。故填or。 【63题详解】 考查可数名词复数。句意：种子“银行”包含了减少植物胁迫的进化策略的宝贵信息，被认为是种子库，可以帮助创造现有种子的转基因版本。library为可数名词，根据句中的“seed banks”可知此处应填library的复数形式。故填libraries。 【64题详解】 考查形容词。句意：种子“银行”包含了减少植物胁迫的进化策略的宝贵信息，被认为是种子库，可以帮助创造现有种子的转基因版本。设空处在句中作定语修饰名词seeds，形容词existing“现存的”符合句意。故填existing。 【65题详解】 考查副词。句意：大多数种子库是公共资助的，种子通常用于造福公众的研究。设空处修饰谓语动词are funded，应填public的副词publicly。故填publicly。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你与外国笔友Allen在长期交流中建立了深厚的友谊。请你写一封信，感谢他的陪伴和帮助，内容包括： 1.写信目的； 2.感谢帮助； 3.其他。 注意： 1.词数应为80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Allen, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Allen, Hoping this letter finds you well.

The guest list, which I kept at the back of my homework assignment folder, began with a few close friends. But in the two weeks before that special Friday night, it had quickly grown from seven girls to a total of seventeen. Nearly every girl in my fifth-grade class had been invited to sleep over at my house for the big celebration. I was especially happy when each guest I invited excitedly accepted the invitation. It would be a night of scary stories, pizzas and lots of presents. But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night. My family room was full of shouts and bursts of laughter that night. We had just finished a game when the doorbell rang. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. Everyone I liked from school was here in my family room. “Lyra, come here for a minute,” Mom called from the front door. I rolled my eyes and shrugged to my friends as if to say, “Who would dare bother me at a time like this?” What I really wanted to say was, “It’s tough being popular!” I rounded the bend toward the front door, and then stopped. I knew my mouth dropped open and I could sense my burning cheeks, for there on the front porch stood Elysia — the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class — and she was holding a gift! I thought about the growing list in the back of my assignment folder. How had I forgotten to invite Elysia? I remembered that I only added a name to the list when someone had shown an interest in my party. But Elysia had never done that. Never once had she asked me about my birthday party. Never once did she squeeze into the circle of kids surrounding me at lunch time. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I guessed I had forgotten to invite her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stood with Elysia’s gift in my hands. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I guessed I had forgotten to invite her. It was simply because she wasn’t pushing to be invited. I accepted the gift from Elysia and asked her to join the party. She shook her head as a refusal to my last-minute invitation and pointed to her father in a car parked in the driveway. Feeling extremely embarrassed, I begged her to come in for just a little while, at least had a bite of my birthday cake. But she still shook her head and turned toward the door, leaving one sentence at last, “See you Monday.” I stood with Elysia’s gift in my hands. I didn’t open the gift until hours after the games, the food, the ghost stories, and the pillow fights. Inside the box was the doll I always longed for and a hand-made card with the words “Remember me”. It was then that I realized that Elysia was an unconditional friend who stood by me. In no time I called her and we were on good terms as before. In the following years, while the other girls drifted away, Elysia was always there for me, ever loyal and supportive. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在12岁生日举办派对，邀请了很多同学，却忘记邀请音乐课同桌Elysia，而Elysia带着礼物出现在派对门口的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我猜我忘了邀请她了。”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 作者办生日派对忘邀Elysia，Elysia带礼物前来给作者却拒绝加入聚会。 ②由第二段首句内容“我手里拿着Elysia的礼物站着。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者打开礼物后意识到其珍贵，两人和好，此后作者和Elysia始终忠诚相伴。 2.续写线索：Elysia送作者礼物——Elysia拒绝加入聚会——作者打开礼物—— 作者和Elysia和好如初——成为挚友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.参与： join/attend ②.打开：open /unfold ③.支持：stand by/support 情感类 ①.尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②.忠诚的：loyal/faithful/devoted 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Her parents were cocaine addicts who spent most of the family’s money in feeding their habits. Liz explains that as a result, she and her sister were neglected. The girls often lacked food and warm clothes. By age 15, Liz was homeless. Her mother had died of AIDS, and her father was on the streets. Liz made a swear to herself after her mother’s death that her life would be different. She refused to end up like her mom and decided that the best way to avoid that fate was to go back to school. Liz Murray stuck to her plan firmly. She stood out in her high school courses in an accelerated two-year program. Liz Murray applied for a New York Times scholarship offered to needy local students. New York Times was looking to make a difference by helping kids who had overcome obstacles. Her story apparently came through loud and clear. Liz hoped to study at Harvard University on her scholarship. Harvard agreed that Liz Murray belonged at the university and accepted her as a member of the class of 2004. Her reaction to the acceptance letter was to scream with delight. When she looks back on where she has come from and the burdens her parents gave her, Liz says that she is neither bitter nor angry. She understood, from an early age, that they had a disease that prevented them from giving her more than they did. She misses having her family together. And her father, with whom she is now close, has developed AIDS. Liz says she doesn’t feel like she has moved past the events of her childhood, rather they’ve stayed with her and are part of everything about who she is. She has learned from her experiences and makes use of the lessons. 24. Why were Liz and her sister neglected? A Because their parents were homeless. B. Because their mother suffered from AIDS. C.

What attitude did Liz hold towards her parents? A. Annoyed. B. Understanding. C. Supporting. D. Disgusted. 27 What’s the best title for the passage? A. From Homeless to Harvard B. The Responsibility of Parents C. The Abuse from Parents D. Confidence Makes You Strong C From online to offline, the popularity of the song “The Lonely Brave” can be called “the most dazzling(炫目的)ethnic style” among elementary school students. What is the magic of “The Lonely Brave”? “The Lonely Brave” itself is the Chinese theme song of the cartoon “League of Legends: Battle of the Two Cities”. The song is sung by Eason Chan, written by Tang Tian and composed by Qian Lei. Tang Tian has been fond of music and writing since she was a child. When her talent was gradually recognized, unluckily, in 2012, she was diagnosed with stage III nasopharyngeal cancer. Instead of yielding, she actively cooperated with the treatment. In November 2021, Tang Tian wrote the song for her idol Eason Chan. Two students from a primary school in Wuhan Hubei, played the song on the piano, arousing many onlookers, and slowly everyone sang along. The video went viral(传播)as soon as it was posted on the Internet. Then, a video of a drum player in Guizhou was also circulated on the Internet. What exactly is this song that has conquered tens of thousands of children? Let’s see what the children have to say. “I like the last line of the lyrics(歌词), who said that those who stand in the light are heroes, and if there is no flash, those who are unknown are not heroes?” “The lonely brave people are those who are not afraid of hardships and risk their lives to cut thorns for others or themselves. They dare to fight and fight against fate.” “After listening to the song, I thought of the delivery boy. Go? Is it worthy? This ragged cloak(披风). Fight? Fight! With the humble dreams, they all play the role of ordinary people in their lives and try to fight for their dreams.” The lonely hero in everyone’s heart is different, but they are all those who shine in the dark without expecting anything in return. 28. What can you learn about the song “The Lonely Brave”? A. The explosion of the song is expected. B. The song is written by Tang Tian after her recovery. C. The song is less attractive than the cartoon “League of Legends”. D. The two students’ video became an instant hit when posted on the Internet. 29. What does the underlined word “yielding” mean? A. Ignorance. B. Give-up C. Disapproval. D. Anger. 30. Why is the song “The Lonely Brave” popular with elementary school students? A. Its lyrics are inspiring. B. It is sung by Eason Chan. C. It reflects the life of children. D. It is of a traditional ethnic style. 31. Who are “the lonely brave” in children’s heart? A. Those hiding in the dark. B. Those standing in the light. C. Those with adventurous tastes. D. Those with bravery and devotion. D There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or years. Sometimes information in the long-term memory is hard to remember. Students taking exams often have this experience. In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. Dr. Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special device which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was a light in each door. First, the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next, one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunter did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. Hunter’s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds. Later, Dr. Henning studied how people learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. To begin with, the participants listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the participants took a 15-question test where they circled the word they remembered having in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sounded alike, while others had four choices having the same meaning. Henning found that people with a lower level in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; people with a higher level made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning learners hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, while advanced learners hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory. 32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Repetition contributes to people’s short-term memory. B. The information in long-term memory is easier to forget. C. People can rarely memorize the information learnt when young. D. Students taking exams are experienced in long-term memory. 33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How the rat experiment was conducted. B. The process of rats’ developing memory. C. Why the rat experiment was carried out. D. The relationship between rats’ memory and intelligence. 34. Who might participate in Dr. Henning’s experiment? A. A Chinese expert in second language learning. B. An American student learning a second language. C. A British teacher teaching English as a second language. D. A Korean employee learning English as a second language. 35. What does Henning’s experiment suggest? A. Beginning learners have a bad memory. B. Beginning learners depend more on short-term memory. C. Advanced learners easily remember words according to their pronunciation. D. Advanced learners can confuse the words just heard with those meaning the same. 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。 Going on vacation every week might sound like the very unattainable dream. ____36____.

The guest list, which I kept at the back of my homework assignment folder, began with a few close friends. But in the two weeks before that special Friday night, it had quickly grown from seven girls to a total of seventeen. Nearly every girl in my fifth-grade class had been invited to sleep over at my house for the big celebration. I was especially happy when each guest I invited excitedly accepted the invitation. It would be a night of scary stories, pizzas and lots of presents. But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night. My family room was full of shouts and bursts of laughter that night. We had just finished a game when the doorbell rang. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. Everyone I liked from school was here in my family room. “Lyra, come here for a minute,” Mom called from the front door. I rolled my eyes and shrugged to my friends as if to say, “Who would dare bother me at a time like this?” What I really wanted to say was, “It’s tough being popular!” I rounded the bend toward the front door, and then stopped. I knew my mouth dropped open and I could sense my burning cheeks, for there on the front porch stood Elysia — the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class — and she was holding a gift! I thought about the growing list in the back of my assignment folder. How had I forgotten to invite Elysia? I remembered that I only added a name to the list when someone had shown an interest in my party. But Elysia had never done that. Never once had she asked me about my birthday party. Never once did she squeeze into the circle of kids surrounding me at lunch time. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I guessed I had forgotten to invite her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stood with Elysia’s gift in my hands. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
