He gave them water and food every day. He took good care of them, and both seeds felt happy. But, both of the seeds had different opinions about their growth. One of them wanted to grow fast and wished to touch the sky as soon as possible, while the second seed was afraid to open its buds. He thought if he grew, then a snail would eat him. As time passed, the first seed grew and became tall. His roots went deep into the soil. He grew taller and soon had pretty flowers. The flowers were bright, and people passing by stopped to look. They liked the plant because it was beautiful. On the other hand, the second seed did not grow because of his negative attitude. “The ground is too hard,” he thought. “What if my sprouts break? What if something bad happens?” So, he stayed in the soil, waiting for the “right time” to grow. One day, the growing plant asked the little one, “Why don’t you grow? It’s been years since the farmers planted both of us. If you need any help, please let me know. I would be happy to help you.” But the little one replied, “If I send my roots into the ground below, I don’t know what I will meet in the dark. And if I open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. No, it is much better for me to wait until it is safe.” Then, one day, a hen and her chicks wandered and looked for food. They found the waiting seed and they ate it. This story teaches us an important lesson. If we want to grow and do well, we must take risks and be brave. But if we are too scared to try, we might fail. 31. What does the underlined phrase “negative attitude” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Being sad and shy. B. Being brave and strong. C.

If a person is like the second seed, what might happen to him? A. He will always be safe and successful. B. He will lose many friends and live a sad life. C. He will become successful because he is patient. D. He will miss a lot of good chances and not succeed. 34. What does the story tell us? A. It’s wrong to laugh at the smaller ones. B. It is better to wait for the right time to grow. C. Being small and safe is the best way to live. D. People should be brave and try hard to become successful. (B) As we all know, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but do you know who developed the electricity system that makes our life more convenient? Nikola Tesla was one of the world’s greatest inventors. He made more than 300 inventions, including wireless power, radio, X-rays, remote control, and electric motors. He had amazing ideas that changed the world. When he was in high school, he began to love science. He saw his physics teacher do experiments with electricity. This looked like magic to Tesla, and he wanted to learn everything he could about it. One of Tesla’s special abilities was his memory. He could remember everything he saw, like books and pictures. After high school, he went to the Technical University of Graz, where he studied math, physics, and philosophy. He was an excellent student. He worked so hard that his teachers worried about his health. Tesla’s first job was in Budapest, where he worked as an electrical engineer. He was very good at his job and helped improve the telephone company. In 1882, he moved to Paris and worked for the Continental Edison Company. After that, he moved to the United States to work for Thomas Edison. Tesla worked very hard all his life. He once worked for 84 hours without sleeping. He spoke 8 languages and always wanted to make the world better. Tesla did not care about money. He only cared about science. He believed we should always try our best to create a good future for everyone. Interestingly, one of the most famous electric car companies is named Tesla. It was inspired by Nikola Tesla’s work. The car company wants to honor the inventor and continue his ideas by changing the electric vehicle industry. 35. What can we learn about Nikola Tesla? A. Tesla invented radio and light bulbs. B.

(C) A new study shows that learning math before bedtime helps people remember it better. Researchers from the universities of Leicester and Loughborough found that sleep plays a key role in keeping new information in mind. While many believe that studying in the morning is better because the mind is fresh, this research suggests otherwise. The study invited 184 people in the UK, aged 18 to 40. They had to remember difficult math problems, such as 25×8, without calculating the answers. The goal was to see how quickly they could remember the answers. In the first part of the experiment, people studied the problems between 8:00 pm and 10:45 pm and had a test the next morning. A week later, they studied in the morning, between 7:30 am and 10:00 am, and were tested in the evening. In both cases, testing took place 10 hours after learning. The results showed that those who learned math before bedtime did better, getting the points of about 20.7. But morning learners only got an average of 18.5. This shows that the brain makes memory appear again during sleep, and it is easier for people to remember. While previous (之前的) research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest. It tells the importance of studying challenging material, like math, before going to bed. 39. According to the passage, which of the following can we learn about? A. The longer you sleep, the better memory of math you can get. B. People should always study math before going to bed instead. C. Adults aged 18 to 40 are better at learning difficult math than other age groups. D. Sleep is important in helping the brain remember not only words but also numbers. 40. Which picture best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 41 What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the last paragraph? A This study. B. Sleep. C. Word learning. D. Previous research. 42. Where can we read this article? A. In a story book. B. In a travel guide. C. In a science magazine. D. In an encyclopedia. (D) Have you walked down Beijing Road in Guangzhou recently? If so, you’ve probably come across someone from abroad. More and more foreigners are visiting our country. Statistics (统计资料) tell us that China has received more than 17 million international tourists in the first seven months of this year. But Guangzhou is not the only hot spot There are many Chinese cities winning over travellers. Let’s take a closer look at this rise in inbound tourists. 43. Which city has the biggest increase in flight bookings by foreigners from January to May 2024? A. Urumqi. B. Kunming. C. Zhangjiajie. D. Harbin. 44. Which country has the largest number of flights per week to Guangzhou? A. Japan. B. South Korea. C. Russia. D. U. K. 45. What can we learn from the article? A. The number of foreign tourists visiting China is falling. B. Foreign tourists are only interested in big cities in China. C. Shanghai is the most popular city to foreign visitors in all the countries. D. Guangzhou is one of the most popular cities in all the five countries. 七、阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，把答案写在答题卷相应的空格中。 Not many years ago, the world had no smartphones.

I’d like to read ________. It can make the waiting time more enjoyable. A. some; something interesting B. some; interesting something C. any; something interesting D. any; interesting something 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你想要看一些书吗？——哦，太棒了！我想读一些有趣的东西。它可以使等待时间更愉快。 考查不定代词。some一些，常用于肯定句中，但也用于期望得到肯定回答的疑问句中；any一些，常用于否定句和疑问句中。第一个空位于期望得到肯定回答的疑问句中，用some；复合不定代词和形容词连用时，形容词要位于复合不定代词后，作后置定语，第二个空填something interesting。故选A。 2.

A. twelve; nine B. twelfth; nine C. twelve; the ninth D. twelfth; the ninth 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这本百科全书有十二卷书。很遗憾，我上周丢了第九本。 考查数词。twelve十二，基数词；nine九，基数词；twelfth第十二，序数词；the ninth第九，序数词。根据“This encyclopedia has … volumes of books.”可知，这里描述的是百科全书有十二卷，表示数量，应使用基数词twelve，再由“It’s a pity that I lost…one last week.”可知，这里指的是上周丢失的特定的一卷，表示顺序，应使用序数词the ninth，并且序数词前通常需要加定冠词the。故选C。 3.

Let’s try to reduce ________ energy and water we use at home. A. Thousand; the amount of B. Thousands; the amount of C. Thousand; the number of D. Thousands; the number of 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：成千上万的学生参加了我们保护环境的项目。让我们尽量减少我们在家里使用的能源和水的数量。 考查数词的表达和名词短语。the amount of……的数量，后接不可数名词；the number of……的数量，后接可数名词复数。表示模糊数字时，数词用复数且与of连用，所以第一个空用Thousands。第二个空后接的是不可数名词energy，用the amount of。故选B。 5.

He gave them water and food every day. He took good care of them, and both seeds felt happy. But, both of the seeds had different opinions about their growth. One of them wanted to grow fast and wished to touch the sky as soon as possible, while the second seed was afraid to open its buds. He thought if he grew, then a snail would eat him. As time passed, the first seed grew and became tall. His roots went deep into the soil. He grew taller and soon had pretty flowers. The flowers were bright, and people passing by stopped to look. They liked the plant because it was beautiful. On the other hand, the second seed did not grow because of his negative attitude. “The ground is too hard,” he thought. “What if my sprouts break? What if something bad happens?” So, he stayed in the soil, waiting for the “right time” to grow. One day, the growing plant asked the little one, “Why don’t you grow? It’s been years since the farmers planted both of us. If you need any help, please let me know. I would be happy to help you.” But the little one replied, “If I send my roots into the ground below, I don’t know what I will meet in the dark. And if I open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. No, it is much better for me to wait until it is safe.” Then, one day, a hen and her chicks wandered and looked for food. They found the waiting seed and they ate it. This story teaches us an important lesson. If we want to grow and do well, we must take risks and be brave. But if we are too scared to try, we might fail. 31 What does the underlined phrase “negative attitude” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Being sad and shy. B. Being brave and strong. C.

If a person is like the second seed, what might happen to him? A. He will always be safe and successful. B. He will lose many friends and live a sad life. C. He will become successful because he is patient. D. He will miss a lot of good chances and not succeed. 34. What does the story tell us? A. It’s wrong to laugh at the smaller ones. B. It is better to wait for the right time to grow. C. Being small and safe is the best way to live. D. People should be brave and try hard to become successful. 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. D 34.

Researchers from the universities of Leicester and Loughborough found that sleep plays a key role in keeping new information in mind. While many believe that studying in the morning is better because the mind is fresh, this research suggests otherwise. The study invited 184 people in the UK, aged 18 to 40. They had to remember difficult math problems, such as 25×8, without calculating the answers. The goal was to see how quickly they could remember the answers. In the first part of the experiment people studied the problems between 8:00 pm and 10:45 pm and had a test the next morning. A week later, they studied in the morning, between 7:30 am and 10:00 am, and were tested in the evening. In both cases, testing took place 10 hours after learning. The results showed that those who learned math before bedtime did better, getting the points of about 20.7. But morning learners only got an average of 18.5. This shows that the brain makes memory appear again during sleep, and it is easier for people to remember. While previous (之前的) research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest. It tells the importance of studying challenging material, like math, before going to bed. 39. According to the passage, which of the following can we learn about? A. The longer you sleep, the better memory of math you can get. B. People should always study math before going to bed instead. C. Adults aged 18 to 40 are better at learning difficult math than other age groups. D. Sleep is important in helping the brain remember not only words but also numbers. 40. Which picture best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 41. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the last paragraph? A. This study. B. Sleep. C. Word learning. D. Previous research. 42. Where can we read this article? A. In a story book. B. In a travel guide. C. In a science magazine. D. In an encyclopedia. 【答案】39. D 40. B 41. A 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现——人们在晚上睡觉前学习算数比在早晨学习更有效率。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“While previous research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest.”可知，睡眠不仅能帮助大脑记住单词，还能记住数字。故选D。 【40题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总体介绍一项新的研究结果；第二、三、四段介绍了研究的过程和结果；第五段得出最终结论。文章结构为①/②③④/⑤。故选B。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“While previous research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest.”可知，这项研究表明人们在睡觉前学习数学等具有挑战性的材料的重要性。划线单词指代的是前面提到的this study。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“A new study shows that learning math before bedtime helps people remember it better.”可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究，可能会在科学杂志上见到。故选C。 (D) Have you walked down Beijing Road in Guangzhou recently?
