Looking back on the three years of junior high school, I have experienced many changes in my study, thoughts, personality, life and so on. The biggest personal change I’ve ever made is that I have fallen in love with reading. When I was a child, I didn’t enjoy books at all. Later, my mother always read stories for me and bought me books. Gradually, I began to love reading. While reading, I feel like talking with a wise man. Reading is also a fantastic way to enjoy my free time. Now I have realized the importance of reading books. I have got used to reading every day. Books are my friends. And they will benefit me a lot. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$■ ■■■ 2025年中考第一次模拟考试（南通专用) 英语·答题卡 姓 名： 缺考 条码粘贴处 淮考 标记 注意事项 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，并认真检查监考员所粘贴的条形码。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5mm黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整 3。请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出答题区域范围的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、刮纸刀。 5. 正确填涂■ 选择题（请用2B铅笔填涂） 、 单项填空（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 1[A][B][C][D] 6.[AJ[B][C][D] 2[A][B][C][D] 7.[A][B][C][D] 3[A][B][C][D] 8[A][B][C][D] 4[A][B][C][D] 9.[A][B][C][D] 5.[AJ[B][C][D] 10.[A][B][C][D] 二、完形填空（本题共15小题每小题1分，满分15分） 11.AJ【B][C][D] 16.[A][B][C][D] 21[A][B][C][D] 12.[A][B][C][D] 17.[A][B][C][D] 22[A][B][C][D] 13.[A][B][C][D] 18.A1IB][C1【D1 23[A][B][C][D] 14.[A][B][C][D] 19.[A][B][C][D] 24[A][B][C][D] 15.[A][B][C][D] 20.[A][B][C][D] 25.[A][B][C][D] 三、阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分） 26.[A][B][C][D] 31.[A][B][C][D] 36[A][B][C][D] 41.[A][B][C][D][E][F] 27.[A][B][C][D] 32[A][B][C][D] 37.[A][B][C][D] 42.[A][B][C][D][E][F] 28.[A][B][C][D] 33.A[B][CI[D1 38[A][B][C][D] 43.[A][B][C][D][E][F] 29.[A][B][C][D] 34.AJIB]ICI【D] 39.[A][B][C][D] 44.[A][B][C][D][E][F] 30.[A][B][C][D] 35.[A][B][C][D] 40.[A][B][C][D] 45.[A][B][C][D][E][F] 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效1 英语第1页（共2页） 4卫 ■■■■ ■■■ 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 非选择题（请在各试题的答题区内作答） 五、 综合填空（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分） 46 47. 48 49 50. 51. 52 53 54. 55 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 56 57 58 59 60. 61. 62 63 64 65 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 66 67 68 69 70 八、作文（满分20分） 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 处语第1页（共2页） 巴■ ■■5 ■ ■ 555 : ■ 英语第1页（共2页） ■………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2025年中考第一次模拟考试（南通专用） 英语 注意事项： 1.全卷满分120分。考试时间为120分钟。试题包含选择题和非选择题。考生答题全部答在答题卡上, 答在本试卷上无效。 2.请认真核对监考教师在答题卡上所粘贴条形码的姓名、考试证号是否与本人相符合,再将 自己的姓名、考试证号用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔填写在答题卡及本试卷上。 3.答选择题必须用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,请用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案。答非选择题必须用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔写在答题卡的指定位置,在其他位置答题一律无效。 一、单项选择（本题共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中， 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。 1．In 2025, the Laba Festival falls ________ January 7th.

He was thinking about the “C” he had received in his 11 test. “I knew I was getting it when I was taking the test, but I just can’t help feeling unlucky to be bad at spellings,” thought Jake. He was good at other subjects, and he couldn’t 12 seeing a big “C” on his test paper. After the break, Ms. Kaur said that the Spelling Bee Competition was going to be held. Some students were excited 13 they were good at spellings, but others wore uninterested faces. So did Jake. Jake certainly was not taking part in it. He was still 14 his test. He didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, he got a good idea. It seemed the best thing to do was to 15 something in spellings. He knew it took courage to take part in something he was 16 at, but it was a window of chance. The next day, Jake told Ms. Kaur about his decision. “You are a good boy, Jake. You set an example for those who are bad at some subjects, but 17 work for them,” said Ms. Kaur. 18 that day on, Jake started working for the competition. Soon the day for the first 19 of the competition came. It was 20 turn. He walked onto the stage. He was nervous. Ms. Kaur nodded her head 21 . She asked him the word. Jake wanted to 22 right there. He knew the word! “E-N-O-R-M-I-T-Y,” he answered. Unexpectedly, Jake entered the next round and worked even 23 . In the final Jake felt his heart 24 loudly. But when he heard his word, he was no more nervous. “C-O-U-N-C-I-L,” he answered correctly. He made it for the subject in which he got bad grades! Chances come and go. The secret of success is to be 25 when a chance comes. When it comes, you must take it and go on, and never give up. 11．A．spelling B．singing C．writing D．drawing 12．A．avoid B．stand C．stop D．regret 13．A．because B．if C．so D．until 14．A．talking about B．worrying about C．hearing about D．looking about 15．A．guess B．refuse C．achieve D．throw 16．A．mad B．angry C．good D．bad 17．A．always B．often C．never D．ever 18．A．To B．From C．At D．Between 19．A．round B．test C．lesson D．word 20．A．my B．her C．his D．your 21．A．seriously B．encouragingly C．nervously D．surprisingly 22．A．hide B．run C．dance D．sleep 23．A．worse B．later C．faster D．harder 24．A．knocking B．hitting C．aching D．beating 25．A．ready B．patient C．quiet D．friendly 三、 阅读理解(本题共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分) 请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Camping is a fun way to get family and friends together to enjoy the outdoors. Follow these tips to make sure your camping trip is safe and healthy. Bring safe and healthy food along on your camping trip. Eating some food may increase the risk of developing certain illnesses. Camping is a great way to get physical activity. Do things such as walking, hiking, biking and swimming to stay active during your camping trip. Be sure to bring protective equipment and take steps to avoid getting hurt during activities. Never hike or swim alone. Watch kids closely. Some wild animals carry illnesses that are dangerous for people. Avoid touching, feeding and getting near wild animals. Enjoy watching them from a safe place in their natural surroundings. Mosquitoes and other insects can cause certain illnesses. To help fight the bite, apply (敷) the drug over exposed skin. Be sure to follow directions on the package. Wear long sleeves, pants and light-colored clothing. Always prepare for the unexpected. Before you leave, check the weather report, learn about safety at your camp location, and tell family and friends your plans.

When you return home, check your sunburn and other problems. 26．What should we know in order to be safe on a camping trip? A．Avoid walking or hiking. B．Never feed some wild animals. C．Keep away from any insects. D．Wear some warm clothes. 27．Why does the writer write this text? A．To show us how to be enjoyable while camping. B．To help us learn how to make friends happy. C．To let us know what to do before camping. D．To tell us how to be safe while camping. 28．Who are most likely to be interested in the text? A．People who enjoy watching animals.

B Reshi completed a 12-page children’s book, Alice and Sparkle, with the help of a chatbot called ChatGPT. A chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it became very popular with children. Some people praised Reshi for being clever. However, not everyone was happy. Some artists criticized the book. They said the pictures were of poor quality, and more importantly, the way the pictures were made was a big problem. Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. The problem is, Midjourney takes images from artists’ work without asking for permission. Some companies have already started using AI instead of human workers. For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker. Many artists and writers are worried about their jobs. They fear that if AI can create art and writing for less money, people may not pay them for their work. Josephine, a journalist who makes money from writing, says, “I love writing, but it’s troubling to see people looking for cheaper choices instead of supporting real human writers.” There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should involve artists in the process of making them. 29．The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A．newspaper B．science fiction C．storybook D．travel guide 30．What does the underlined word “algorithms” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Creative ideas. B．Millions of pictures. C．Useful tools. D． Computation rules. 31．In Paragraph 4, the writer shows the popularity of using AI by ________. A．listing numbers B．giving examples C．making comparisons D．showing opinions 32．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Reshi’s event? A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Critical. D．Changeable. C From voluntarily collecting historical materials related to the Great Wall in his Shanxi hometown in Province to becoming an official cultural heritage protector, Yuan Xuerui has spent over twenty years safeguarding the ancient wonder. China’s Great Wall is one of the great wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built from 3 BC to the 1800s on the north of the country, the Great Wall has a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. Yuan, 55, was born in Qingxibao at the foot of the ancient wall in Shanxi’s Daixian county, which is part of the city of Xinzhou. His love for the ancient wall motivated (激励) him to protect it, and when not engaged (从事) in farm work, he spent most of his time walking along the wall to collect bricks that had fallen off due to the long time and prepare for repairs. “What others think as a difficult and dull task of cultural heritage protection often brings me unexpected discoveries,” Yuan said. He officially became a cultural heritage worker in 2018, and since then his duties have expanded from collecting bricks to organizing ancient documents related to the wall to better tell stories about it. As a heritage worker, Yuan has come to understand the meaning of the Great Wall. “Each brick has endured (忍受) the test of time over hundreds of years—in some cases more than a thousand—carrying rich historical memories,” he said. This summer, Yuan organized a campaign to call for people to collect bricks for the future repair of the wall. Many bricks were taken away from the Great Wall by local villagers to build their houses in the 1960s and 1970s. “As villagers’ awareness of the need to protect the wall has grown, nowadays, when locals find fallen bricks along the Great Wall, they will pick them up,” he said. “If they see garbage, they will also pick it up and throw it into bins.” 33．What is Yuan Xuerui’s job now? A．A local farmer. B．A repairman. C．A cultural heritage protector. D．A brick collector. 34．How does Yuan Xuerui view his job? A．Difficult and dull. B．Exciting and popular. C．Tiring and disappointing. D．Surprising and meaningful. 35．What did Yuan Xuerui do as a cultural heritage worker? a. He made speeches.   b. He collect bricks.   c. He engaged in farm work. d. He organized ancient documents.   e. He called for people to join in. A．bde B．bcd C．abc D．cde 36．Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage? A．Man’s journey with Great Wall just begins B．Man’s efforts to protect Great Wall paying off C．Man’s love for Great Wall remains unchanged D．Man’s love for Great Wall reaches new heights D I remember once asking the famous painter Elizabeth Murray what she thought of her early works. She told me that a few didn’t quite meet her own mark for what she wanted them to be. One of the works, in fact, so didn’t meet her mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio, and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value. At that moment, my view of success and creativity changed. I realized that success is a moment, but what we are always celebrating is creativity and mastery. I started to understand this when I watched an archer. She first hit a seven ring, and then a nine, and then two tens, and then the next arrow didn’t even hit the target. And I saw that gave her more tenacity (韧性), and she went after it again and again. For three hours this went on. So, success is hitting that ten ring, but mastery is knowing that it means nothing if you can’t do it again and again. Mastery is not just the same as excellence, though. It’s not the same as success, which I see as an event, a moment in time, and a title the world awards you. Mastery is not a commitment (投入) to a goal but to a continuous search. What gets us to push forward more is to value a near win. Part of the reason that the near win is inbuilt to mastery is because the greater our proficiency (精通), the more clearly we might see that we don’t know all that we thought we did. It’s called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. The Paris Review got it out of James Baldwin when they asked him, “What do you think increases with knowledge?” and he said, “You learn how little you know.” Success motivates us, but a near win can push us in an ongoing quest (探索). One of the most vivid examples of this comes when we look at the difference between Olympic silver medalists and bronze medalists after a competition. Thomas Gilovich and his team from Cornell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition. The reason the near win driving us forward is because it changes our view of the landscape and puts our goals, which we tend to put at a distance, closer to where we stand. And this is what a near win does. It gets us to focus on what, right now, we plan to do to address that mountain in our sights. We become, and continue to be, successful, strong and healthy not when we’ve done it all, but when we still have more to do. We build out of the unfinished idea, even if that idea is our former self. This is the dynamic of mastery. Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you achieve more than you ever dreamed you could. Completion is a goal, but we hope it is never the end. 37．Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce a change in the opinion. B．To prove the value of creativity in art. C．To show the result of a wrong judgement. D．To stress the importance of a good neighbor. 38．What do you know about success and mastery from the passage? A．Most successes are driven by Dunning-Kruger effect. B．Making every effort to win is what mastery underlines. C．Success means going after excellence over and over again. D．Knowing how little we know sets us on the path to mastery. 39．Which of the following most probably shows the effect of a near win? A．A writer penned a novel and became famous overnight. B．A boxer, who lost in a close match, trained harder than before. C．A scientist changed the research area after careful planning. D．A teacher, who kept encouraging students, received an honor. 40．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain the true meaning of mastery. B．To inspire people to continue reaching higher. C．To present the benefits of having the right goal. D．To compare different ways to deal with a near win. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 A large number of people start experiencing strong loneliness in the few month following their graduation. Many people mistakenly think that loneliness can be ended by having more friends or by meeting new people. 41 So what causes loneliness and why do so many people experience it right after graduation? 42 Some of the main characteristics of a close relationship are common interests, openness and common life challenges. During college or high school years, most of the people in a group will have the same problem, so they can talk about their common problems, think together of solutions and even help each other go through them. 43 However, after graduation each person usually takes a different path and finds himself fighting his own unique battle. Problems become no longer common between the same group of people because each of them develops his own special ones. Friends can become less connected to each other when each one of them lives a different life. 44 In such a case two things can be done. You can either share your new problems with your old friends and make sure you listen to theirs or you can make more friends at your new job to share with them what’s going on in your new stage of life. 45 When you do so, stick to them, share your problems with them and you will never feel lonely. A．What happens to the same group after graduation? B．Loneliness can never appear in such an environment. C．This gradually reduces closeness and promotes loneliness. D．In fact, a person with quiet a few friends can still feel lonely. E．Loneliness happens when you don’t have close relationships. F．The key is to find people who are fighting the same battle as you. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 Fridge magnets (冰箱贴) are a new business in the cultural tourism.

Their names were Shah Ali and Shah Elvin. The villagers of their kingdoms were sure that there would be a war soon because the Shahs spent so much time threatening one another. It went on like this for many years. Ali would feel slighted (藐视) by Elvin, or Elvin would feel mocked (蔑视) by Ali. The villagers were stuck in the middle of the argument. They were always afraid that war would come and destroy their homes. Finally, one day, Ali announced, “That’s it! I declare (宣布) war on Elvin!” Elvin had not been to war in a very long time. He hadn’t worn his battle clothes in years. He even forgot where he had stored them. The day before the battle began, he asked his mother, Sabine, to find his helmet. Sabine returned without the helmet. “What happened to my helmet?” Elvin asked. “I couldn’t move it,” Sabine said gently. “A mother dove has made a nest in your helmet. She has three little babies. They are safe and sound in it. I see her coming and going from the nest all day long, bringing food to her babies. She tries so hard to take good care of them. Please, don’t disturb them. Doves are the most peace-loving birds. They never harm anything. How could I destroy this happy little bird’s home?” Elvin understood. He smiled and nodded his head. “I don’t need my helmet to do battle, Elvin said. On the battlefield, Ali noticed that Elvin was not wearing his helmet. “Where is your helmet?” Ali asked. A king at war without a helmet? This was unheard of! “My mother found a dove nesting in it,” Elvin admitted. “We didn’t want to disturb the family.” Ali laughed and sent his wise men to visit Sabine and see the helmet for themselves. When the wise men returned, they all verified (核实) that there was indeed a dove nesting in Elvin’s helmet. This shocked Ali. The most peaceful bird of all nesting in a war helmet. How amazing! Ali smiled. “This is a sign,” Ali said. “The most peaceful bird decided to nest in a war helmet. This means that we must be like the dove and make peace.” “Really?” asked Elvin. “Yes,” Ali said. “You and your mother didn’t want to destroy a little bird family’s home. How could we destroy the homes of thousands of families?” And so, the two Shahs signed (签署) agreements to keep peace and friendship forever. Ali and Elvin became known for their wisdom. And, from then on, the dove became known as the symbol of peace. 66．Who finally declared war? 67．According to Sabine, why did she return without Elvin’s helmet? 68．According to the article, how did the war between Ali and Elvin end? 69．What does the dove represent nowadays? 70．What do you think of Shah Elvin?

He was good at other subjects, and he couldn’t 12 seeing a big “C” on his test paper. After the break, Ms. Kaur said that the Spelling Bee Competition was going to be held. Some students were excited 13 they were good at spellings, but others wore uninterested faces. So did Jake. Jake certainly was not taking part in it. He was still 14 his test. He didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, he got a good idea. It seemed the best thing to do was to 15 something in spellings. He knew it took courage to take part in something he was 16 at, but it was a window of chance. The next day, Jake told Ms. Kaur about his decision. “You are a good boy, Jake. You set an example for those who are bad at some subjects, but 17 work for them,” said Ms. Kaur. 18 that day on, Jake started working for the competition. Soon the day for the first 19 of the competition came. It was 20 turn. He walked onto the stage. He was nervous. Ms. Kaur nodded her head 21 . She asked him the word. Jake wanted to 22 right there. He knew the word! “E-N-O-R-M-I-T-Y,” he answered. Unexpectedly, Jake entered the next round and worked even 23 . In the final Jake felt his heart 24 loudly. But when he heard his word, he was no more nervous. “C-O-U-N-C-I-L,” he answered correctly. He made it for the subject in which he got bad grades! Chances come and go.

A chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it became very popular with children. Some people praised Reshi for being clever. However, not everyone was happy. Some artists criticized the book. They said the pictures were of poor quality, and more importantly, the way the pictures were made was a big problem. Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. The problem is, Midjourney takes images from artists’ work without asking for permission. Some companies have already started using AI instead of human workers. For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker. Many artists and writers are worried about their jobs. They fear that if AI can create art and writing for less money, people may not pay them for their work. Josephine, a journalist who makes money from writing, says, “I love writing, but it’s troubling to see people looking for cheaper choices instead of supporting real human writers.” There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should involve artists in the process of making them. 29．The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A．newspaper B．science fiction C．storybook D．travel guide 30．What does the underlined word “algorithms” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Creative ideas. B．Millions of pictures. C．Useful tools. D． Computation rules. 31．In Paragraph 4, the writer shows the popularity of using AI by ________. A．listing numbers B．giving examples C．making comparisons D．showing opinions 32．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Reshi’s event? A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Critical. D．Changeable. 【答案】29．A 30．D 31．B 32．C 【导语】本文讨论了艺术家和作家对使用人工智能（AI）程序创作作品的担忧，特别是在Reshi使用AI程序完成儿童读物《Alice and Sparkle》的情况下。AI创作引发了对创意作品被未经授权使用以及对艺术家和作家生计的威胁的担忧。 29．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讨论了AI技术对创作行业的影响，并引用了多方观点，这种讨论性及广泛受众的特点，符合报纸报道风格，故选A。 30．词义猜测题。根据“Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images.”可知， Midjourney，它使用特殊的计算规则将单词翻译成图像，结合“It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. ”可知，它就是用这种算法规则在这些图像中寻找模式，并制作新的图像，所以划线单词表示“运算规则”，故选D。 31．细节理解题。根据“For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker.”可知，作者是通过举例说明的，故选B。 32．观点态度题。根据“There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should involve artists in the process of making them.”以及作者在文中提及一些艺术家的批评并指出了技术对艺术行业可能的威胁，可知，作者对Reshi事件有批评的态度。故选C。 C From voluntarily collecting historical materials related to the Great Wall in his Shanxi hometown in Province to becoming an official cultural heritage protector, Yuan Xuerui has spent over twenty years safeguarding the ancient wonder. China’s Great Wall is one of the great wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built from 3 BC to the 1800s on the north of the country, the Great Wall has a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. Yuan, 55, was born in Qingxibao at the foot of the ancient wall in Shanxi’s Daixian county, which is part of the city of Xinzhou. His love for the ancient wall motivated (激励) him to protect it, and when not engaged (从事) in farm work, he spent most of his time walking along the wall to collect bricks that had fallen off due to the long time and prepare for repairs. “What others think as a difficult and dull task of cultural heritage protection often brings me unexpected discoveries,” Yuan said. He officially became a cultural heritage worker in 2018, and since then his duties have expanded from collecting bricks to organizing ancient documents related to the wall to better tell stories about it. As a heritage worker, Yuan has come to understand the meaning of the Great Wall. “Each brick has endured (忍受) the test of time over hundreds of years—in some cases more than a thousand—carrying rich historical memories,” he said. This summer, Yuan organized a campaign to call for people to collect bricks for the future repair of the wall. Many bricks were taken away from the Great Wall by local villagers to build their houses in the 1960s and 1970s. “As villagers’ awareness of the need to protect the wall has grown, nowadays, when locals find fallen bricks along the Great Wall, they will pick them up,” he said. “If they see garbage, they will also pick it up and throw it into bins.” 33．What is Yuan Xuerui’s job now? A．A local farmer. B．A repairman. C．A cultural heritage protector. D．A brick collector. 34．How does Yuan Xuerui view his job? A．Difficult and dull. B．Exciting and popular. C．Tiring and disappointing. D．Surprising and meaningful. 35．What did Yuan Xuerui do as a cultural heritage worker? a. He made speeches.   b. He collect bricks.   c. He engaged in farm work. d. He organized ancient documents.   e. He called for people to join in. A．bde B．bcd C．abc D．cde 36．Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage? A．Man’s journey with Great Wall just begins B．Man’s efforts to protect Great Wall paying off C．Man’s love for Great Wall remains unchanged D．Man’s love for Great Wall reaches new heights 【答案】33．C 34．D 35．A 36．B 【导语】本文讲述了袁雪瑞从自愿收集家乡山西长城相关历史资料，到成为官方文化遗产保护者的故事。 33．细节理解题。根据“From voluntarily collecting historical materials related to the Great Wall in his Shanxi hometown in Province to becoming an official cultural heritage protector, Yuan Xuerui has spent over twenty years safeguarding the ancient wonder.”可知，他现在是官方文化遗产保护者。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据“‘What others think as a difficult and dull task of cultural heritage protection often brings me unexpected discoveries,’ Yuan said.”可推知，他觉得这份工作让人惊喜又有意义。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据“He officially became a cultural heritage worker in 2018, and since then his duties have expanded from collecting bricks to organizing ancient documents related to the wall to better tell stories about it.”和“This summer, Yuan organized a campaign to call for people to collect bricks for the future repair of the wall.”可知，他的工作有：收集砖块、整理文献和号召人们加入。故选A。 36．最佳标题题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段可知，袁雪瑞的付出在逐渐被认可，保护长城的意识在不断增强，其努力正在产生效果。选项B“人类保护长城的努力得到了回报”最为合适。故选B。 D I remember once asking the famous painter Elizabeth Murray what she thought of her early works. She told me that a few didn’t quite meet her own mark for what she wanted them to be. One of the works, in fact, so didn’t meet her mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio, and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value. At that moment, my view of success and creativity changed. I realized that success is a moment, but what we are always celebrating is creativity and mastery. I started to understand this when I watched an archer. She first hit a seven ring, and then a nine, and then two tens, and then the next arrow didn’t even hit the target. And I saw that gave her more tenacity (韧性), and she went after it again and again. For three hours this went on. So, success is hitting that ten ring, but mastery is knowing that it means nothing if you can’t do it again and again. Mastery is not just the same as excellence, though. It’s not the same as success, which I see as an event, a moment in time, and a title the world awards you. Mastery is not a commitment (投入) to a goal but to a continuous search. What gets us to push forward more is to value a near win. Part of the reason that the near win is inbuilt to mastery is because the greater our proficiency (精通), the more clearly we might see that we don’t know all that we thought we did. It’s called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. The Paris Review got it out of James Baldwin when they asked him, “What do you think increases with knowledge?” and he said, “You learn how little you know.” Success motivates us, but a near win can push us in an ongoing quest (探索). One of the most vivid examples of this comes when we look at the difference between Olympic silver medalists and bronze medalists after a competition. Thomas Gilovich and his team from Cornell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition. The reason the near win driving us forward is because it changes our view of the landscape and puts our goals, which we tend to put at a distance, closer to where we stand. And this is what a near win does. It gets us to focus on what, right now, we plan to do to address that mountain in our sights. We become, and continue to be, successful, strong and healthy not when we’ve done it all, but when we still have more to do. We build out of the unfinished idea, even if that idea is our former self. This is the dynamic of mastery. Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you achieve more than you ever dreamed you could. Completion is a goal, but we hope it is never the end. 37．Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce a change in the opinion. B．To prove the value of creativity in art. C．To show the result of a wrong judgement. D．To stress the importance of a good neighbor. 38．What do you know about success and mastery from the passage? A．Most successes are driven by Dunning-Kruger effect. B．Making every effort to win is what mastery underlines. C．Success means going after excellence over and over again. D．Knowing how little we know sets us on the path to mastery. 39．Which of the following most probably shows the effect of a near win? A．A writer penned a novel and became famous overnight. B．A boxer, who lost in a close match, trained harder than before. C．A scientist changed the research area after careful planning. D．A teacher, who kept encouraging students, received an honor. 40．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain the true meaning of mastery. B．To inspire people to continue reaching higher. C．To present the benefits of having the right goal. D．To compare different ways to deal with a near win. 【答案】37．A 38．D 39．B 40．A 【导语】本文通过多个例子说明了成功只是一个瞬间的事件，而真正的精通在于不断追求和提升自我的过程。近乎成功（near win）能够激励我们持续努力，推动我们在未完成的目标中找到动力。 37．细节理解题。根据“One of the works, in fact, so didn’t meet her mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio, and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value. At that moment, my view of success and creativity changed.”可知，作者在第一段介绍了画家Elizabeth Murray丢弃不满意的作品的例子，并说明自己在那一刻对成功和创造力的看法改变了；即第一段引用例子，是为了引出观点的变化。故选A。 38．推理判断题。根据“Mastery is not a commitment (投入) to a goal but to a continuous search. (精通不是对一个目标的承诺，而是持续不断的探索)”和“The Paris Review got it out of James Baldwin when they asked him, ‘What do you think increases with knowledge?’ and he said, ‘You learn how little you know.’ ”可知，你认识到自己知之甚少时，你就会不断地探索；由此推知意识到自己的知识有限才能引导我们走向精通之路。故选D。 39．推理判断题。根据“the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition (银牌得主与铜牌得主相比感到沮丧，后者通常会因为没有获得第四名或根本没有获得奖牌而感到高兴，这让银牌得主关注后续的比赛)”可知，对于银牌得主而是是“差一点获胜”，因此银牌得主后续会更加努力地训练去赢得金牌；结合选项推知，B选项“一个拳击手在一场势均力敌的比赛中输了，他比以前更加刻苦地训练。”符合“差一点获胜”。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕着“精通”这一概念展开，通过各种例子和分析，解释了精通不仅仅是达成目标，更是一种持续的追求和成长。因此，文章的主要目的是解释精通的真正含义。故选A。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 A large number of people start experiencing strong loneliness in the few month following their graduation. Many people mistakenly think that loneliness can be ended by having more friends or by meeting new people. 41 So what causes loneliness and why do so many people experience it right after graduation? 42 Some of the main characteristics of a close relationship are common interests, openness and common life challenges. During college or high school years, most of the people in a group will have the same problem, so they can talk about their common problems, think together of solutions and even help each other go through them. 43 However, after graduation each person usually takes a different path and finds himself fighting his own unique battle. Problems become no longer common between the same group of people because each of them develops his own special ones. Friends can become less connected to each other when each one of them lives a different life. 44 In such a case two things can be done. You can either share your new problems with your old friends and make sure you listen to theirs or you can make more friends at your new job to share with them what’s going on in your new stage of life. 45 When you do so, stick to them, share your problems with them and you will never feel lonely. A．What happens to the same group after graduation? B．Loneliness can never appear in such an environment. C．This gradually reduces closeness and promotes loneliness. D．In fact, a person with quiet a few friends can still feel lonely. E．Loneliness happens when you don’t have close relationships. F．The key is to find people who are fighting the same battle as you. 【答案】41．D 42．E 43．A 44．C 45．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人们在毕业后常常会感到孤独的原因，并给出了应对建议。 41．根据上文“Many people mistakenly think that loneliness can be ended by having more friends or by meeting new people.”提出人们对于消除孤独感的普遍错误看法，选项D“事实上，一个有相当多朋友的人仍然会感到孤独”与上文构成转折关系，给出正确观点，指出即使有很多朋友，人们仍然可能会感到孤独，从而引出下文对孤独原因和应对方法的探讨。故选D。 42．根据下文“Some of the main characteristics of a close relationship are common interests, openness and common life challenges.”开始阐述亲密关系的特点，选项E“当你没有亲密关系时，孤独就会发生”引出下文主题，即孤独与缺乏亲密关系有关，上下文语意连贯。故选E。 43．根据上文“During college or high school years, most of the people in a group will have the same problem, so they can talk about their common problems, think together of solutions and even help each other go through them.”描述了在校期间人们因为共同问题而紧密相连的情况，选项A“同样的一群人在毕业后会怎样呢?”承接上文，引出下一段，上下文语意连贯。故选A。 44．根据上文“Friends can become less connected to each other when each one of them lives a different life.”指出毕业后朋友之间联系减少的现象，选项C“这逐渐减少了亲密感，促进了孤独感”进一步解释这一现象导致的后果。故选C。 45．根据上文“You can either share your new problems with your old friends and make sure you listen to theirs or you can make more friends at your new job to share with them what's going on in your new stage of life.”提出了两种应对孤独的方法，选项F“关键是找到和你有同样战斗的人”总结上文，指出无论是与老朋友还是新朋友分享，关键在于找到有共同经历或挑战的人。故选F。 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 Fridge magnets (冰箱贴) are a new business in the cultural tourism.

Their names were Shah Ali and Shah Elvin. The villagers of their kingdoms were sure that there would be a war soon because the Shahs spent so much time threatening one another. It went on like this for many years. Ali would feel slighted (藐视) by Elvin, or Elvin would feel mocked (蔑视) by Ali. The villagers were stuck in the middle of the argument. They were always afraid that war would come and destroy their homes. Finally, one day, Ali announced, “That’s it! I declare (宣布) war on Elvin!” Elvin had not been to war in a very long time. He hadn’t worn his battle clothes in years. He even forgot where he had stored them. The day before the battle began, he asked his mother, Sabine, to find his helmet. Sabine returned without the helmet. “What happened to my helmet?” Elvin asked. “I couldn’t move it,” Sabine said gently. “A mother dove has made a nest in your helmet. She has three little babies. They are safe and sound in it. I see her coming and going from the nest all day long, bringing food to her babies. She tries so hard to take good care of them. Please, don’t disturb them. Doves are the most peace-loving birds. They never harm anything. How could I destroy this happy little bird’s home?” Elvin understood. He smiled and nodded his head. “I don’t need my helmet to do battle, Elvin said. On the battlefield, Ali noticed that Elvin was not wearing his helmet. “Where is your helmet?” Ali asked. A king at war without a helmet? This was unheard of! “My mother found a dove nesting in it,” Elvin admitted. “We didn’t want to disturb the family.” Ali laughed and sent his wise men to visit Sabine and see the helmet for themselves. When the wise men returned, they all verified (核实) that there was indeed a dove nesting in Elvin’s helmet. This shocked Ali. The most peaceful bird of all nesting in a war helmet. How amazing! Ali smiled. “This is a sign,” Ali said. “The most peaceful bird decided to nest in a war helmet. This means that we must be like the dove and make peace.” “Really?” asked Elvin. “Yes,” Ali said. “You and your mother didn’t want to destroy a little bird family’s home. How could we destroy the homes of thousands of families?” And so, the two Shahs signed (签署) agreements to keep peace and friendship forever. Ali and Elvin became known for their wisdom. And, from then on, the dove became known as the symbol of peace. 66．Who finally declared war? 67．According to Sabine, why did she return without Elvin’s helmet? 68．According to the article, how did the war between Ali and Elvin end? 69．What does the dove represent nowadays? 70．What do you think of Shah Elvin? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】66．(Shah) Ali. 67．(Because) a dove mother made/had made a nest in the helmet (and she didn’t want to disturb the family). 68．By signing agreements to keep peace and friendship forever./They signed agreements to keep peace and friendship forever. 69．The symbol of peace. 70．He is kind/wise./He is kind-hearted./He has a heart full of love./He is brave./He is a brave fighter. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了鸽子是和平的象征的由来。 66．根据“Finally, one day, Ali announced, ‘That’s it!

I see her coming and going from the nest all day long, bringing food to her babies. She tries so hard to take good care of them. Please, don’t disturb them.“可知因为鸽子妈妈在她的头盔里筑巢，Sabine不想要打扰鸽子一家，故填(Because) a dove mother made/had made a nest in the helmet (and she didn’t want to disturb the family). 68．根据“the two Shahs signed (签署) agreements to keep peace and friendship forever.”可知这场战争是以达成协议结束的，故填By signing agreements to keep peace and friendship forever./They signed agreements to keep peace and friendship forever. 69．根据“And, from then on, the dove became known as the symbol of peace.”可知鸽子是和平的象征，故填The symbol of peace. 70．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为He is kind/wise./He is kind-hearted./He has a heart full of love./He is brave./He is a brave fighter. 八、作文（满分20分） 71．成长让我们的人生充满意义。回首三年初中时光，我们在学习、思想、性格、生活等方面发生了很多变化。你所在学校公众号的英语写作栏目正在开展“我的成长”征文活动，请分享你初中三年中的成长故事，具体讲述其中一个变化。 写作要点： 1.

He didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, he got a good idea. It seemed the best thing to do was to 15 something in spellings. He knew it took courage to take part in something he was 16 at, but it was a window of chance. The next day, Jake told Ms. Kaur about his decision. “You are a good boy, Jake. You set an example for those who are bad at some subjects, but 17 work for them,” said Ms. Kaur. 18 that day on, Jake started working for the competition.

But when he heard his word, he was no more nervous. “C-O-U-N-C-I-L,” he answered correctly. He made it for the subject in which he got bad grades! Chances come and go.

B Reshi completed a 12-page children’s book, Alice and Sparkle, with the help of a chatbot called ChatGPT. A chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it became very popular with children. Some people praised Reshi for being clever. However, not everyone was happy. Some artists criticized the book. They said the pictures were of poor quality, and more importantly, the way the pictures were made was a big problem. Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. The problem is, Midjourney takes images from artists’ work without asking for permission. Some companies have already started using AI instead of human workers. For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker. Many artists and writers are worried about their jobs. They fear that if AI can create art and writing for less money, people may not pay them for their work. Josephine, a journalist who makes money from writing, says, “I love writing, but it’s troubling to see people looking for cheaper choices instead of supporting real human writers.” There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should involve artists in the process of making them. 29．The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________.

C From voluntarily collecting historical materials related to the Great Wall in his Shanxi hometown in Province to becoming an official cultural heritage protector, Yuan Xuerui has spent over twenty years safeguarding the ancient wonder. China’s Great Wall is one of the great wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built from 3 BC to the 1800s on the north of the country, the Great Wall has a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. Yuan, 55, was born in Qingxibao at the foot of the ancient wall in Shanxi’s Daixian county, which is part of the city of Xinzhou. His love for the ancient wall motivated (激励) him to protect it, and when not engaged (从事) in farm work, he spent most of his time walking along the wall to collect bricks that had fallen off due to the long time and prepare for repairs. “What others think as a difficult and dull task of cultural heritage protection often brings me unexpected discoveries,” Yuan said. He officially became a cultural heritage worker in 2018, and since then his duties have expanded from collecting bricks to organizing ancient documents related to the wall to better tell stories about it. As a heritage worker, Yuan has come to understand the meaning of the Great Wall. “Each brick has endured (忍受) the test of time over hundreds of years—in some cases more than a thousand—carrying rich historical memories,” he said. This summer, Yuan organized a campaign to call for people to collect bricks for the future repair of the wall. Many bricks were taken away from the Great Wall by local villagers to build their houses in the 1960s and 1970s. “As villagers’ awareness of the need to protect the wall has grown, nowadays, when locals find fallen bricks along the Great Wall, they will pick them up,” he said. “If they see garbage, they will also pick it up and throw it into bins.” 33．What is Yuan Xuerui’s job now? A．A local farmer. B．A repairman. C．A cultural heritage protector. D．A brick collector. 34．How does Yuan Xuerui view his job? A．Difficult and dull. B．Exciting and popular. C．Tiring and disappointing. D．Surprising and meaningful. 35．What did Yuan Xuerui do as a cultural heritage worker? a. He made speeches.   b. He collect bricks.   c. He engaged in farm work. d. He organized ancient documents.   e. He called for people to join in. A．bde B．bcd C．abc D．cde 36．Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage? A．Man’s journey with Great Wall just begins B．Man’s efforts to protect Great Wall paying off C．Man’s love for Great Wall remains unchanged D．Man’s love for Great Wall reaches new heights D I remember once asking the famous painter Elizabeth Murray what she thought of her early works. She told me that a few didn’t quite meet her own mark for what she wanted them to be. One of the works, in fact, so didn’t meet her mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio, and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value. At that moment, my view of success and creativity changed. I realized that success is a moment, but what we are always celebrating is creativity and mastery. I started to understand this when I watched an archer. She first hit a seven ring, and then a nine, and then two tens, and then the next arrow didn’t even hit the target. And I saw that gave her more tenacity (韧性), and she went after it again and again. For three hours this went on. So, success is hitting that ten ring, but mastery is knowing that it means nothing if you can’t do it again and again. Mastery is not just the same as excellence, though. It’s not the same as success, which I see as an event, a moment in time, and a title the world awards you. Mastery is not a commitment (投入) to a goal but to a continuous search. What gets us to push forward more is to value a near win. Part of the reason that the near win is inbuilt to mastery is because the greater our proficiency (精通), the more clearly we might see that we don’t know all that we thought we did. It’s called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. The Paris Review got it out of James Baldwin when they asked him, “What do you think increases with knowledge?” and he said, “You learn how little you know.” Success motivates us, but a near win can push us in an ongoing quest (探索). One of the most vivid examples of this comes when we look at the difference between Olympic silver medalists and bronze medalists after a competition. Thomas Gilovich and his team from Cornell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition. The reason the near win driving us forward is because it changes our view of the landscape and puts our goals, which we tend to put at a distance, closer to where we stand. And this is what a near win does. It gets us to focus on what, right now, we plan to do to address that mountain in our sights. We become, and continue to be, successful, strong and healthy not when we’ve done it all, but when we still have more to do. We build out of the unfinished idea, even if that idea is our former self. This is the dynamic of mastery. Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you achieve more than you ever dreamed you could. Completion is a goal, but we hope it is never the end. 37．Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce a change in the opinion. B．To prove the value of creativity in art. C．To show the result of a wrong judgement. D．To stress the importance of a good neighbor. 38．What do you know about success and mastery from the passage? A．Most successes are driven by Dunning-Kruger effect. B．Making every effort to win is what mastery underlines. C．Success means going after excellence over and over again. D．Knowing how little we know sets us on the path to mastery. 39．Which of the following most probably shows the effect of a near win? A．A writer penned a novel and became famous overnight. B．A boxer, who lost in a close match, trained harder than before. C．A scientist changed the research area after careful planning. D．A teacher, who kept encouraging students, received an honor. 40．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain the true meaning of mastery. B．To inspire people to continue reaching higher. C．To present the benefits of having the right goal. D．To compare different ways to deal with a near win. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 A large number of people start experiencing strong loneliness in the few month following their graduation. Many people mistakenly think that loneliness can be ended by having more friends or by meeting new people. 41 So what causes loneliness and why do so many people experience it right after graduation? 42 Some of the main characteristics of a close relationship are common interests, openness and common life challenges. During college or high school years, most of the people in a group will have the same problem, so they can talk about their common problems, think together of solutions and even help each other go through them. 43 However, after graduation each person usually takes a different path and finds himself fighting his own unique battle. Problems become no longer common between the same group of people because each of them develops his own special ones. Friends can become less connected to each other when each one of them lives a different life. 44 In such a case two things can be done. You can either share your new problems with your old friends and make sure you listen to theirs or you can make more friends at your new job to share with them what’s going on in your new stage of life. 45 When you do so, stick to them, share your problems with them and you will never feel lonely. A．What happens to the same group after graduation? B．Loneliness can never appear in such an environment. C．This gradually reduces closeness and promotes loneliness. D．In fact, a person with quiet a few friends can still feel lonely. E．Loneliness happens when you don’t have close relationships. F．The key is to find people who are fighting the same battle as you. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 Fridge magnets (冰箱贴) are a new business in the cultural tourism.

Their names were Shah Ali and Shah Elvin. The villagers of their kingdoms were sure that there would be a war soon because the Shahs spent so much time threatening one another. It went on like this for many years. Ali would feel slighted (藐视) by Elvin, or Elvin would feel mocked (蔑视) by Ali. The villagers were stuck in the middle of the argument. They were always afraid that war would come and destroy their homes. Finally, one day, Ali announced, “That’s it! I declare (宣布) war on Elvin!” Elvin had not been to war in a very long time. He hadn’t worn his battle clothes in years. He even forgot where he had stored them. The day before the battle began, he asked his mother, Sabine, to find his helmet. Sabine returned without the helmet. “What happened to my helmet?” Elvin asked. “I couldn’t move it,” Sabine said gently. “A mother dove has made a nest in your helmet. She has three little babies. They are safe and sound in it. I see her coming and going from the nest all day long, bringing food to her babies. She tries so hard to take good care of them. Please, don’t disturb them. Doves are the most peace-loving birds. They never harm anything. How could I destroy this happy little bird’s home?” Elvin understood. He smiled and nodded his head. “I don’t need my helmet to do battle, Elvin said. On the battlefield, Ali noticed that Elvin was not wearing his helmet. “Where is your helmet?” Ali asked. A king at war without a helmet? This was unheard of! “My mother found a dove nesting in it,” Elvin admitted. “We didn’t want to disturb the family.” Ali laughed and sent his wise men to visit Sabine and see the helmet for themselves. When the wise men returned, they all verified (核实) that there was indeed a dove nesting in Elvin’s helmet. This shocked Ali. The most peaceful bird of all nesting in a war helmet. How amazing! Ali smiled. “This is a sign,” Ali said. “The most peaceful bird decided to nest in a war helmet. This means that we must be like the dove and make peace.” “Really?” asked Elvin. “Yes,” Ali said. “You and your mother didn’t want to destroy a little bird family’s home. How could we destroy the homes of thousands of families?” And so, the two Shahs signed (签署) agreements to keep peace and friendship forever. Ali and Elvin became known for their wisdom. And, from then on, the dove became known as the symbol of peace. 66．Who finally declared war? 67．According to Sabine, why did she return without Elvin’s helmet? 68．According to the article, how did the war between Ali and Elvin end? 69．What does the dove represent nowadays? 70．What do you think of Shah Elvin?
