Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. Eiffel Tower Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a. m.-5:00 p. m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays. Notre-Dame Cathedral The Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River ever since the 12th century. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Although a fire broke out on April 15th, 2019, destroying part of it, it was finally restored and officially reopened to the public on December 7th, 2024. You are able to take the subway Line 4 to get there. Louvre Museum Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed on Tuesdays as well as January 1st, May 1st, and December 25th each year. Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe serves as a national symbol of France, which was built by Napoleon I in celebration of the victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Take Line 1,2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. Visitors can purchase tickets for a tour to the top to enjoy the views of the city. 1.

What can we know about the listed attractions? A. They offer visitors free entries. B. They are open to visitors on holidays. C. They are easily accessible by subway. D. They represent similar local architecture. 3. Who is the text intended for? A. Tour guides. B. Painting instructors. C. Architecture majors. D. Sightseeing travelers. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了巴黎的几个著名景点及其参观信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Notre-Dame Cathedral部分中的“With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. (其复杂的哥特式建筑细节代表着巴黎的宗教和建筑。)”可知，巴黎圣母院因其复杂的哥特式建筑细节，代表了巴黎的宗教和建筑，即它的详细设计使其成为巴黎文化的象征。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Eiffel Tower部分中的“It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. (乘坐地铁6号线或8号线，在比尔-哈克姆站或特罗卡德罗站下车即可到达。)”、Notre-Dame Cathedral部分中的“You are able to take the subway Line 4 to get there. (您可以乘坐地铁4号线到达那里。)”、Louvre Museum部分中的“It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. (乘坐地铁1号线，在皇家宫殿-卢浮宫博物馆站下车即可轻松到达。)”和第五段中“Take Line 1,2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. (乘坐地铁1号线、2号线或6号线至夏尔·戴高乐-星形广场站，即可看到凯旋门。)”可知，这些景点都可以通过地铁轻松到达。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Paris is a city full of sites of different times and architectural styles. Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. (巴黎是一座充满不同时代和建筑风格景点的城市。以下是一些著名景点，对于了解这座城市复杂的过去至关重要。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一些对了解巴黎复杂历史至关重要的著名景点，由此可推知，本文的目标读者是观光旅行者。故选D。 B My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to reach for my phone. Sliding into this habit was easy, but it was difficult to quit it. Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change. Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet! At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone. The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends’ social media updates every few minutes. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt empty and uneasy, as if I had missed something of value. I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. It was scary. But then somehow I began to feel free. I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. Best of all, I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera. My offline relationships benefited as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our wide-ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy staying with each other. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. We had never felt closer to each other. By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to take advantage of it. Posted at 6:44 p. m., 10th May by Alan 4. What did the writer think of his smartphone use? A.

He developed a great appreciation for offline activities. D. He had had enough of his former life with smartphones. 7. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A science fiction. B. A personal blog. C. A research report. D. A newspaper column. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者沉迷手机，后因险些被车撞决定停用一周手机，期间体验到线下生活的美好，最后意识到无手机的生活更丰富。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to reach for my phone. Sliding into this habit was easy, but it was difficult to quit it.(无论我是走在街上、和朋友一起吃晚餐还是晚上躺在床上，我的眼睛都紧紧盯着那个小屏幕。我早上醒来做的第一件事就是伸手去拿手机。养成这个习惯很容易，但要戒掉却很难)”可知，作者随时随地都在看手机，且很难戒掉这个习惯，由此可推断出，作者认为自己对智能手机使用上瘾了。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I felt empty and uneasy, as if I had missed something of value. I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.(我感到空虚和不安，好像错过了一些有价值的东西。我觉得自己与所有人和事都脱节了)”可知，作者在没有手机的第一天感到失落和焦虑。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. Best of all, I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera.(我终于拿起了那本我一直想读的经典小说，很快就沉浸在优美的文字中。我出去跑步，感觉比几天来都更有活力。最棒的是，我开始用自己的眼睛去欣赏生活中的美，而不是通过手机摄像头)”以及第五段 “My offline relationships benefited as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our wide ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy staying with each other. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. We had never felt closer to each other.(我的线下人际关系也得到了改善。我和一位老朋友去散步。我们广泛的交谈比简短的文字交流深入得多。我们的眼睛不再盯着手机，有机会真正享受彼此的陪伴。我还确保花更多时间和父母在一起。我们去看歌剧、打羽毛球、参观博物馆。我们从未感觉彼此如此亲近)”可知，作者在停用手机期间，阅读经典小说、出去跑步、和朋友散步、陪父母参加各种活动，体验到了线下活动的乐趣，和朋友、家人的关系也更亲密了。由此可推断出，作者最后做出改变主要是因为他对线下活动产生了极大的欣赏和喜爱。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后落款“Posted at 6:44 p. m., 10 th May by Alan(5月10日下午6:44发布，作者艾伦)”可知，文章有发布时间和作者署名，具有个人分享的特征，所以最有可能来自个人博客。故选B项。 C Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every morning, just like many other five-year-olds in New York. Today, she is learning a poem. What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite it without an accent. Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too. “Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future career,” says her mother Alison. “I think it’s good for her to stretch herself by listening to and pronouncing new sounds, as well as learning to read and write Chinese characters.” More and more ambitious parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes. Keen for their sons and daughters to succeed in life, they see being fluent in a second or third language as an advantage. Learning Chinese is becoming such a global interest that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries. Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China. It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities. China is already a global economic power, and its influence is growing. For example, there is China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which motivates many countries along the Silk Road to cooperate more closely. It has created thousands of local jobs, many of which need people with a knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese provides access to wonderful Chinese history and culture. Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, cites this as one of the most appealing aspects of the recently added Chinese course. “Students love the mystery of China,” he explains. “They want to know all about its traditions, dynasties and art forms. Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective and broaden their minds to the outside world.” 8. Why does Mary-Jo Saunders’s mother have her learn Chinese? A. To give her an advantage in future work. B. To make her a top student in kindergarten. C. To support her to grow into a poetry expert. D. To improve her handwriting skills in general. 9. How does the writer show the global trend of learning Chinese? A. By providing data. B. By giving definitions. C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 10. What can be inferred from Adam Turner’s words? A. Learning Chinese can ensure a promising future. B. Spreading Chinese language and culture is necessary. C. Studying Chinese can help develop cultural awareness. D. Starting a new Chinese learning program has been an appeal. 11. What could be the best title for the text? A. Global popularity of learning Chinese. B. How Mary-Jo Saunders Learns Chinese. C. The Importance of being ambitious parents. D. How China’s Belt and Road Initiative Progresses. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了全球学习中文的趋势及其原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中““Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future career,” says her mother Alison. (“学习世界上使用人数最多的语言可能会让玛丽-乔在未来的职业生涯中占得先机，”她的母亲Alison说。)”可知，Mary-Jo Saunders的母亲让她学习中文是为了让她在未来的工作中占据优势。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Learning Chinese is becoming such a global interest that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries. Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China. (学习中文正成为全球范围内的热门兴趣，已有75个以上的国家将中文纳入教育体系。超过4000所海外大学提供中文课程，而中文学习者人数在国外已达2500万。)”可知，作者通过提供数据来展示全球学习中文的趋势。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中““They want to know all about its traditions, dynasties and art forms. Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective and broaden their minds to the outside world.”(“学生们喜欢中国的神秘，”他解释道。“他们想了解它的所有传统、朝代和艺术形式。学习中文有助于他们从新的角度看待生活，拓宽对外界的视野。”)”可知，学习中文可以让学生从不同的角度看待生活，并拓宽他们的视野到外部世界，这体现了文化意识的培养。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“More and more ambitious parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes. (世界上越来越多有抱负的父母正在给孩子报名参加中文课程。)”和最后一段中“It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. (中文为何变得如此受欢迎，这不难理解。)”可知，文章主要讲述了全球学习中文的趋势和原因，因此最适合的标题是A选项“Global popularity of learning Chinese. (全球学习中文的流行)”。故选A。 D The dodo is one of the most famous birds ever to have lived and also one of the most mysterious. Considered the first animal to die out due to human actions, it has been described as awkward and unintelligent. A new study is challenging this image, however. The dodo, a flightless bird with a large. hooked beak (鸟喙), lived on Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. Adult dodos were up to about 3 feet tall and weighed up to 51 pounds, making them larger than a modern turkey. They likely ate fruits, nuts, and seeds from the forest floor and swallowed stones to break up food in their bodies, which some modern birds do as well Few dodo fossils or samples of soft tissue (组织) have been found, which means scientists haven’t been able to learn much else about them. To address that, a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo. They concluded that the animal was probably not such an awkward bird after all. Written descriptions of live dodos suggested that the birds actually moved quickly. The team also re-examined dodo fossils and remains and concluded that the bird had powerful tendons (肌腱) in its toes-just similar to modern birds that climb and run. This provided further evidence that the dodo was an active, speedy bird. “The birds were fast and, before being wiped out, had been doing their thing and doing it incredibly well for millions of years,” said Neil Gostling, an author of the recent study. Scientists think dodos went extinct in the 1600s when Dutch sailors in Mauritius began hunting them. Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that, so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch. This contributed to the idea that the birds were slow and not smart. However, scientists also know that sailors brought cats, dogs, pigs, and rats, which ate dodos’ chicks and damaged their habitat, helping to kill them off. The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature. “The mystery of the dodo bird is about to be cracked wide open,” said Markus Heler, another author of the study. 12. What was the traditional view of the dodo? A. It was a large and skilled flyer. B. It was a clever and adaptable bird. C. It moved slowly and appeared dull. D. It shared habits with some modern Lirds. 13. How did the researchers gain more knowledge about the dodo? A. By studying a copy of dodo fossils and relics. B. By analyzing the creature’s genetic structure. C. By looking through old records and collections. D. By watching behaviors of similar modern species. 14. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5? A. Friends. B. Hunters. C. Neighbors. D. Competitors. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The expert regarded the study as a fruitless attempt. B. Few projects are being done on the bird’s extinction. C. The research team has cracked the secret of the bird. D. Gaps in knowledge about this creature are noticeable. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了渡渡鸟是有史以来最著名的鸟之一，也是最神秘的鸟之一。渡渡鸟曾被人们认为是笨拙且不聪明的。但是，一项新的研究表明渡渡鸟是活跃且移动迅速的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Considered the first animal to die out due to human actions, it has been described as awkward and unintelligent. (被认为是由于人类行为而灭绝的第一种动物，它被描述为笨拙和愚蠢。)”可知，传统的观点认为渡渡鸟是移动缓慢且看起来愚笨的，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To address that, a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo.(为了解决这个问题，一个研究团队查阅了400年来关于渡渡鸟的文献和科学会议。)”可知，研究人员通过查看旧记录和收藏来获得有关渡渡鸟的更多知识，故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that, so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch.(在此之前，渡渡鸟在岛上没有predators，因此它们不惧怕人类，而且很容易捕捉。)”可知，渡渡鸟不怕人类，是因为岛上没有捕猎者，所以它们见到人类的时候不惧怕人类，划线单词意为“捕猎者”，与B项“Hunters.(捕猎者)”意思一样，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature.(研究小组的工作只是一个旨在了解古代生物的更大项目的开始。”)”可知，研究小组的工作只是研究渡渡鸟的开始，由此可推知，如今，人类对渡渡鸟灭绝的研究较少，故选B。 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。 Try writing your own stories Creative writing is a fun way to express your thoughts and emotions.

Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. Eiffel Tower Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a. m.-5:00 p. m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays. Notre-Dame Cathedral The Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River ever since the 12th century. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Although a fire broke out on April 15th, 2019, destroying part of it, it was finally restored and officially reopened to the public on December 7th, 2024. You are able to take the subway Line 4 to get there. Louvre Museum Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed on Tuesdays as well as January 1st, May 1st, and December 25th each year. Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe serves as a national symbol of France, which was built by Napoleon I in celebration of the victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Take Line 1,2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. Visitors can purchase tickets for a tour to the top to enjoy the views of the city. 1.

What can we know about the listed attractions? A. They offer visitors free entries. B. They are open to visitors on holidays. C. They are easily accessible by subway. D. They represent similar local architecture. 3. Who is the text intended for? A. Tour guides. B. Painting instructors. C. Architecture majors. D. Sightseeing travelers. B My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to reach for my phone. Sliding into this habit was easy, but it was difficult to quit it. Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change. Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet! At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone. The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends’ social media updates every few minutes. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt empty and uneasy, as if I had missed something of value. I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. It was scary. But then somehow I began to feel free. I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. Best of all, I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera. My offline relationships benefited as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our wide-ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy staying with each other. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. We had never felt closer to each other. By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to take advantage of it. Posted at 6:44 p. m., 10th May by Alan 4. What did the writer think of his smartphone use? A.

What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite it without an accent. Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too. “Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future career,” says her mother Alison. “I think it’s good for her to stretch herself by listening to and pronouncing new sounds, as well as learning to read and write Chinese characters.” More and more ambitious parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes. Keen for their sons and daughters to succeed in life, they see being fluent in a second or third language as an advantage. Learning Chinese is becoming such a global interest that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries. Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China. It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities. China is already a global economic power, and its influence is growing. For example, there is China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which motivates many countries along the Silk Road to cooperate more closely. It has created thousands of local jobs, many of which need people with a knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese provides access to wonderful Chinese history and culture. Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, cites this as one of the most appealing aspects of the recently added Chinese course. “Students love the mystery of China,” he explains. “They want to know all about its traditions, dynasties and art forms. Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective and broaden their minds to the outside world.” 8. Why does Mary-Jo Saunders’s mother have her learn Chinese? A To give her an advantage in future work. B. To make her a top student in kindergarten. C. To support her to grow into a poetry expert. D. To improve her handwriting skills in general. 9. How does the writer show the global trend of learning Chinese? A. By providing data. B. By giving definitions. C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 10. What can be inferred from Adam Turner’s words? A Learning Chinese can ensure a promising future. B. Spreading Chinese language and culture is necessary. C. Studying Chinese can help develop cultural awareness. D. Starting a new Chinese learning program has been an appeal. 11. What could be the best title for the text? A. Global popularity of learning Chinese. B. How Mary-Jo Saunders Learns Chinese. C. The Importance of being ambitious parents. D. How China’s Belt and Road Initiative Progresses. D The dodo is one of the most famous birds ever to have lived and also one of the most mysterious. Considered the first animal to die out due to human actions, it has been described as awkward and unintelligent. A new study is challenging this image, however. The dodo, a flightless bird with a large. hooked beak (鸟喙), lived on Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. Adult dodos were up to about 3 feet tall and weighed up to 51 pounds, making them larger than a modern turkey. They likely ate fruits, nuts, and seeds from the forest floor and swallowed stones to break up food in their bodies, which some modern birds do as well Few dodo fossils or samples of soft tissue (组织) have been found, which means scientists haven’t been able to learn much else about them. To address that, a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo. They concluded that the animal was probably not such an awkward bird after all. Written descriptions of live dodos suggested that the birds actually moved quickly. The team also re-examined dodo fossils and remains and concluded that the bird had powerful tendons (肌腱) in its toes-just similar to modern birds that climb and run. This provided further evidence that the dodo was an active, speedy bird. “The birds were fast and, before being wiped out, had been doing their thing and doing it incredibly well for millions of years,” said Neil Gostling, an author of the recent study. Scientists think dodos went extinct in the 1600s when Dutch sailors in Mauritius began hunting them. Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that, so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch. This contributed to the idea that the birds were slow and not smart. However, scientists also know that sailors brought cats, dogs, pigs, and rats, which ate dodos’ chicks and damaged their habitat, helping to kill them off. The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature. “The mystery of the dodo bird is about to be cracked wide open,” said Markus Heler, another author of the study. 12. What was the traditional view of the dodo? A. It was a large and skilled flyer. B. It was a clever and adaptable bird. C. It moved slowly and appeared dull. D. It shared habits with some modern Lirds. 13. How did the researchers gain more knowledge about the dodo? A. By studying a copy of dodo fossils and relics. B.
