Whether it is long, short, straight, curly, or wavy, we all have one thing on our minds — how to care for it. Aloe Vera (芦荟) ● Hair growth: Aloe vera can act as a natural conditioner as well as aid in balancing the pH level of your hair. All that is needed is to apply the aloe vera gel to your scalp (头皮) and hair. ● Strengthens hair: It contains vitamins C, A, and E that help in strengthening hair follicles. ● Helps itchy (痒的) scalp: Aloe vera has been backed up by dermatologists to have components that help deal with itchy scalp. Rosemary Although it is commonly used to spice up a variety of dishes, this plant is also suitable for hair treatment. It contains carnosic acid that aids in the rejuvenation of nerves in the scalp. It also has other benefits like: ● Hair shine ● Boosts Hair Growth ● Acts as hair cleanser: Rosemary has antibacterial components that make it perfect for scalp cleansing. Hibiscus Hibiscus, or some parts of west Africa like to call it “Zobo leaves”, helps with numerous health conditions. But what most of us don’t know is that it works just as well for hair. ● Dandruff (头皮屑) treatment ● Thickens hair and gives volume ● Stops hair loss ● Prevents split ends The grounds of hibiscus leave are usually mixed with other products before being massaged into the hair. It is not a leave-in mixture and should be washed off with a mild shampoo after use. Moringa ● Boosts hair Growth: Moringa contains all the right minerals to aid hair growth. It has vitamin B that aid in the production of red blood cell that carry oxygen to the hair and scalp. ● Prevents dandruff and itchy scalp: Pterygospermin is an antibacterial and antifungal component that helps with things like dandruff. ● Prevents hair loss ● Enhances thickness 1.

(芦荟既可以充当天然护发素，又有助于平衡头发的酸碱度)”和第二点中“It contains vitamins C, A, and E that help in strengthening hair follicles. (它含有维生素C、维生素A和维生素E，这些维生素有助于强化毛囊)”可知，芦荟富含维生素，可以作为天然护发素。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hibiscus效果第二点“Thickens hair and gives volume (使头发变浓密，增加发量)”和Moringa效果第四点“Enhances thickness (让头发更浓密)”可知，木槿和辣木共同的特点是使头发变浓密。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Whether it is long, short, straight, curly, or wavy, we all have one thing on our minds — how to care for it. (无论头发是长是短、是直是卷，还是呈波浪状，我们心里都惦记着同一件事——如何护理它)”可知，文章主要介绍了四种植物对头发护理的作用，包括促进头发生长、去屑、防止脱发等，这些都与健康相关。所以文章最有可能出现在网页的健康板块。故选C项。 B As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks. He read a lot about the Titanic. “My lifelong dream was to find this great ship,” he says. On August 31, 1985, Ballard’s dream came true. He found the wreck of the Titanic. The ship was in two main parts lying four kilometers (2.4 miles) under the sea. Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship. He found many items that told the sad story of the Titanic’s end. For example, he found a child’s shoes, a reminder of the many deaths that happened that night in 1912. In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again. This time, he reached the ship in a small submarine. A deep-sea robot — a “swimming eyeball” — took photos inside the ship. When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship, too. When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in very bad condition. Other explorers had taken away about 6,000 items, like clothes, dishes, and shoes. Some even took pieces of the ship. They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn’t agree. Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is like robbing a grave. Instead, he wants to put lights and cameras on and around the shipwreck. This way, people can see the great shipwreck and remember what happened to it. “As long as she needs protection,” says Ballard, “the Titanic will always be part of my life.” 4. What is the reading mainly about? A. Visitors to the Titanic leave it in bad condition. B. The great shipwreck and historical treasure — Titanic. C Robert Ballard found the Titanic and wants to keep it safe. D. Robert Ballard’s hopes that more people will visit the Titanic. 5. The first time he explored the Titanic, Ballard ______. A. found a girl’s shoes in the shipwreck B. took pieces of the ship to protect it in safer places C took photos of the shipwreck with a “swimming eyeball” D. explored around the shipwreck with undersea equipment 6. What kind of person is Ballard? A. Adventurous and generous. B. Creative and hardworking. C. Devoted and responsible. D. Inspiring and brave. 7. Which statement would Ballard probably agree with? A. People should not remove anything from the Titanic. B. Lights and cameras will hurt the remains of the Titanic. C. The Titanic wreck should be moved out of the water completely. D. More funds should be provided for the Titanic by the government. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Robert Ballard从小梦想找到泰坦尼克号，他于1985年和1986年进行探索，2004年发现因其他探险家拿走物品导致沉船状况变差，他反对这种行为，想通过安装灯光和摄像头保护沉船。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍Robert Ballard从小就梦想找到泰坦尼克号，接着讲述他在1985年和1986年对泰坦尼克号的探索经历，然后提到2004年他发现泰坦尼克号状况不佳，最后表明他想在沉船周围安装灯光和摄像头来保护它。因此，文章主要讲述了Robert Ballard找到泰坦尼克号并想保护它。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship. (Ballard利用摄像机和一个水下机器人观察了这艘船的四周)”可知，第一次探索泰坦尼克号时，Ballard用海底设备对沉船周围进行了探索。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““My lifelong dream was to find this great ship,” he says. (“我一生的梦想就是找到这艘伟大的船，”他说)”和第二段中“On August 31, 1985, Ballard’s dream came true. He found the wreck of the Titanic. (1985年8月31日，Ballard的梦想实现了。他发现了泰坦尼克号的残骸)”可知，Ballard从小就怀揣着找到泰坦尼克号的梦想，并且最终实现了，说明他对这件事很执着、投入；再根据第四段中“They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn’t agree. (他们认为这些东西应该转移到一个更安全的地方，但Ballard不赞同)”和最后一段中““As long as she needs protection,” says Ballard, “the Titanic will always be part of my life.” (Ballard说：“只要她需要保护，泰坦尼克号就永远是我生活的一部分。”)”可知，Ballard坚决反对拿走沉船上物品的行为，还想保护沉船，体现了他的责任感。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn’t agree. (他们认为这些东西应该转移到一个更安全的地方，但Ballard不赞同)”和最后一段中“Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is like robbing a grave. (Ballard认为，从泰坦尼克号上拿走东西就像盗墓一样)”可知，Ballard不赞同转移沉船上的物品，认为这种行为等同于盗墓。因此，他应该会同意人们不应该从泰坦尼克号上拿走任何东西。故选A项。 C What will be connected to the Internet of Things? You. Your child. Your car, clothes, and house. The cook, the bread, the honey, the bees, and more. That’s why some people call it the “Internet of Everything”. By the year 2040, anything and everything that can be tagged with a wireless identifier will probably have one or more. By that time, these tiny, wireless electronic devices could do a lot more than just identify an object. They could relay data on size, shape, and location or receive instructions on what to do next. These devices might be powered by light, motion, radio waves, or some other means. But they will not need to be plugged in or have batteries. Bigger devices in some cases control the smaller ones. Access to all those things in your reach will be through your phone or your virtual personal assistant. The Internet of Things is already a thing. Right now it is in its early stages. In the future, when wireless tracking devices become cheap enough to spread, it will be a game-changer. Some industries are developing it because it gives them what they want most, including information about you, where you go, and what you do. However, the Internet of Things could hit some bumps along the way. Tagging and tracking billions of things is a large and costly project. Technical issues for the wireless tagging of objects include size, durability, increasing transmission distance, and finding its precise location. Besides, privacy could be an issue. Who will be watching? Who will have access to your information? How will they use it? Other concerns are terrorism, inequality, identity, theft, and encroachment (侵入) on personal space. To summarise, the Internet of Things is the connection of everything that can be connected. It’s growing and it brings great promise and possible danger. 8. What can we know about wireless electronic devices in the future? A. They are used mainly to identify an object. B. They need to be charged before being used. C. They all receive instructions from bigger devices. D. They can be accessed through virtual facilities. 9. Which aspect of the Internet of Things does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The failure it could cause. B. The attention it could draw. C. The trouble it could encounter. D. The advantages it could have. 10. What can we learn about the future of the Internet of Things from the passage? A. It will be cheaper but less secure. B. It will be spread widely by industries. C. It will help people solve technical issues. D. It can be a game-changer as well as a threat to privacy. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the Internet of Things? A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Confused. D. Optimistic. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了物联网，包括其工作方式、功能、变革的潜力，以及发展中面临的问题，说明这一技术既充满希望也存在危险。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Access to all those things in your reach will be through your phone or your virtual personal assistant. (你可以通过手机或虚拟个人助理来访问所有触手可及的这些事物)”可知，未来可以通过虚拟设施访问无线电子设备。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“However, the Internet of Things could hit some bumps along the way. Tagging and tracking billions of things is a large and costly project. (然而，物联网在发展过程中可能会遇到一些阻碍。给数十亿的物品贴上标签并进行追踪是一项规模庞大且成本高昂的工程)”、“Besides, privacy could be an issue. (此外，隐私也可能会成为一个问题)”和“Other concerns are terrorism, inequality, identity, theft, and encroachment (侵入) on personal space. (其他令人担忧的问题还包括恐怖主义、不平等现象、身份盗窃以及对个人空间的侵犯)”可知，本段主要介绍了物联网可能遇到的麻烦，如规模庞大、耗费巨大，还存在技术问题以及隐私问题等。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the future, when wireless tracking devices become cheap enough to spread, it will be a game-changer.(未来，当无线追踪设备变得足够便宜并得以广泛普及之时，它将带来巨大变革)”和第四段中“Besides, privacy could be an issue. Who will be watching? Who will have access to your information? How will they use it? (此外，隐私也可能会成为一个问题。谁会在暗中监视？谁能够获取你的信息？他们会如何使用这些信息)”可知，物联网既可能带来重大变革，也可能对隐私构成威胁。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the future, when wireless tracking devices become cheap enough to spread, it will be a game-changer. (未来，当无线追踪设备变得足够便宜并得以广泛普及之时，它将带来巨大变革)”、第四段中“However, the Internet of Things could hit some bumps along the way. (然而，物联网在发展过程中可能会遇到一些阻碍)”和最后一段中“It’s growing and it brings great promise and possible danger. (它正在发展，既带来了巨大的希望，也存在潜在的危险)”可知，文章既提到了物联网的前景，又指出了它可能带来的问题，如技术问题、隐私问题等。由此推知，作者对物联网的态度是中立的。故选A项。 D The poetry of William Butler Yeats often touches upon the idea of chucking it all away and heading off somewhere. One of his best-known poems about moving on to another place is “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”, a poem which was first published in 1890 when Yeats was still a young man in his 20s. Innisfree is an island located within Lough Gill, in County Sligo, Ireland. It seems that Yeats wants to forget about the complicated world and get back to nature because the life there will be more spiritually fulfilling and peaceful. This is what “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” is about. In summary, Yeats describes his intention to go to Innisfree and build a small cabin to grow beans and keep bees for honey, and live on his own there. The world is quiet and peaceful at Innisfree. The sound of the birds is the only thing puncturing the peaceful silence of the evening. Inhabiting the town or city as he does, a place marked by pavements, roads, and all the bustle and noise of urban life, he nevertheless feels the earth calling to him. One of the most intriguing features of “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” is the repetitive language Yeats employs to convey meanings. In the poem, the line “I will arise and go now” appears twice. Does the poet really intend to go? Or is the poem merely an expression of his desire to do so, when he knows that he will probably never have the courage to leave the city behind and go into the seclusion (清净) of the lake isle? There is, perhaps, no straightforward answer, nor should there be. 12 What do we know about Innisfree? A. Yeats went there in his 20s. B. It is an imaginary place in Yeats’ poem. C. It can bring peace and spiritual fulfilment. D. Yeats wrote a poem about it after going there. 13. What does the underlined word “puncturing” in Paragraph 3 mean? A Flying. B. Banning. C. Breaking. D. Sweeping. 14. What is the probable intention of using repetitive language in this poem? A. To draw the readers’ attention. B. To express the poet’s hesitation. C. To emphasise the pattern and rhythm. D. To make the language more understandable. 15. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To analyse one of Yeats’ poems. B. To attract people to visit Innisfree. C. To introduce the life story of Yeats. D. To appreciate Yeats’ fantastic writing skills. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了叶芝的著名诗歌《茵尼斯弗利岛》。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Innisfree is an island located within Lough Gill, in County Sligo, Ireland. It seems that Yeats wants to forget about the complicated world and get back to nature because the life there will be more spiritually fulfilling and peaceful. (茵尼斯弗利岛是一座位于爱尔兰斯莱戈郡吉尔湖中的岛屿。叶芝似乎想忘却纷繁复杂的世界，回归自然，因为那里的生活在精神上会更充实、更安宁)”可知，茵尼斯弗利岛能带来内心的平静和精神上的满足。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词所在句的前一句“The world is quiet and peaceful at Innisfree. (在茵尼斯弗利岛，世界是宁静祥和的)”表明这里的世界非常宁静，再结合画线词的上文“The sound of the birds (鸟儿的声音)”和下文“the peaceful silence of the evening (宁静的夜晚)”可推知，鸟儿的声音应该是打破了夜晚的这种宁静，画线词在这里意为“打破”，与Breaking“打破”意思相近。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One of the most intriguing features of “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” is the repetitive language Yeats employs to convey meanings. In the poem, the line “I will arise and go now” appears twice. Does the poet really intend to go? Or is the poem merely an expression of his desire to do so, when he knows that he will probably never have the courage to leave the city behind and go into the seclusion (清净) of the lake isle? (《茵尼斯弗利岛》这首诗最引人入胜的特点之一，是叶芝运用重复的语言来传达意义。在诗中，“我就要起身走了”这句诗出现了两次。诗人真的打算前往吗？还是说，这首诗仅仅是他表达自己有这样的愿望，而他心里明白，自己可能永远都没有勇气离开城市，隐居到那座湖心小岛上呢)”可推知，诗人通过重复的语言体现出他对于是否真的要去茵尼斯弗利岛的犹豫。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕叶芝的诗歌《茵尼斯弗利岛》展开，介绍了诗的创作背景、诗中描述的岛屿的情况以及诗中运用重复语言的特点等。因此，文章的目的应该是对这首诗进行分析。故选A项。 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。 Some people seem to always keep their life and work well-organised and achieve satisfying productivity. One of the keys behind their accomplishments is time management. Here are some tips you can follow to increase your efficiency. Realise That Time Management Is a Myth The first thing you must understand about time management is that no matter how organised we are, there are always only 24 hours in a day. ____16____ All we can actually manage is ourselves and what we do with the time that we have. Create Time Management Goals Remember, the focus of time management is actually changing your behaviours. ____17____ For one week, for example, set a goal that you’re not going to take personal phone calls or respond to non-work related text messages while you’re working. Prioritise All the Tasks You Do Every Day Create a list based on your priorities and then get down to it. Less important tasks should be lower on the list as they can take up too much time. ____18____ ____19____ From client meetings to dentist appointments, it’s impossible to avoid waiting for someone or something. ____20____ Technology makes it easy to work wherever you are as your tablet or smartphone will help you stay connected. You can read a report, check a document, or plan your next marketing campaign. A. Time doesn’t change. B. Don’t Waste Time Waiting. C. It’s unwise to keep your plan unchanged. D. But you don’t need to just sit around and do nothing. E. You’d better get the hardest stuff out of the way quickly. F. A good place to start is to remove time-wasting activities. G. This can ensure that you spend your time on the things that matter. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了进行时间管理以提高工作效率的一些建议。 【16题详解】 前文“The first thing you must understand about time management is that no matter how organised we are, there are always only 24 hours in a day. (关于时间管理，你必须明白的第一件事是，无论我们多么有条理，一天总是只有24小时)”提到需要明白一天只有24小时，后文“All we can actually manage is ourselves and what we do with the time that we have. (我们真正能管理的是我们自己，以及我们如何利用我们所拥有的时间)”指出我们只能管理自己及利用时间的方式，因此A项“Time doesn’t change. (时间不会改变)”符合语境，表明时间本身的限制无法突破，承前启后。故选A。 【17题详解】 前文“Remember, the focus of time management is actually changing your behaviours. (记住，时间管理的重点实际上是改变你的行为)”指出时间管理的重点是改变行为，后文“For one week, for example, set a goal that you’re not going to take personal phone calls or respond to non-work related text messages while you’re working. (比如，设定一个星期的目标，在工作时不接私人电话，也不回与工作无关的短信)”举出一个例子，说明工作时不做与工作无关的事，因此F项“A good place to start is to remove time-wasting activities. (一个好的开始就是取消那些浪费时间的活动)”符合语境，建议从不浪费时间开始，承接前文，后文是对其例证。故选F。 【18题详解】 前文“Create a list based on your priorities and then get down to it. Less important tasks should be lower on the list as they can take up too much time. (根据你的优先事项列一个清单，然后着手去做。不太重要的任务应该排在清单的后面，因为它们会占用太多的时间)”建议把事情根据优先级排序，把不太重要的事放在后面，因此G项“This can ensure that you spend your time on the things that matter. (这可以确保你把时间花在重要的事情上)”符合语境，指出这样做的好处，承接前文。故选G。 19题详解】 后文“From client meetings to dentist appointments, it’s impossible to avoid waiting for someone or something. (从客户会议到牙医预约，不可能避免等待某人或某事)”和“Technology makes it easy to work wherever you are as your tablet or smartphone will help you stay connected. You can read a report, check a document, or plan your next marketing campaign. (科技让你在任何地方都能轻松工作，因为平板电脑或智能手机可以帮助你保持联系。你可以阅读一份报告，检查一份文件，或者计划你的下一个营销活动)”主要建议充分利用等待的时间，用科技手段来做各种事情，因此B项“Don’t Waste Time Waiting. (不要浪费时间等待)”符合语境，指出不要把时间浪费在等待上，可作为段落标题统领段落内容，且和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。故选B。 【20题详解】 前文“From client meetings to dentist appointments, it’s impossible to avoid waiting for someone or something. (从客户会议到牙医预约，不可能避免等待某人或某事)”表明等待是不可避免的，后文“Technology makes it easy to work wherever you are as your tablet or smartphone will help you stay connected. (科技让你在任何地方都能轻松工作，因为平板电脑或智能手机可以帮助你保持联系)”建议利用科技手段来做事，避免浪费时间，因此D项“But you don’t need to just sit around and do nothing. (但是你不需要只是坐在那里什么都不做)”符合语境，提醒不必只一味等待，承前启后。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sophia Webster was a financial writer and educator from New York.

Jack was the leader of the football team, and Emily was the head of the debate club. Even though they liked different things, they were both respected for their ability to lead and their strong will. They hardly ever met, and they had never worked together on any project. One day, the school announced a new plan: a community project that needed the help of different clubs to raise money for a local children’s hospital. To everyone’s surprise, Jack and Emily were chosen to be the leaders of this project. At first, they were not sure about working together, but they understood how important the project was and agreed to forget their differences. Their first job was to plan a charity event that would bring the school community together. They decided to have a sports talent show, a place where students could show their skills and help a good cause. Jack, with his experience in sports, took care of organizing the details, while Emily, with her ability to persuade, was in charge of promoting the event and getting people to join. As the day of the talent show got closer, some problems started to appear. One big issue was choosing the judges for the talent show. “I just don’t get it, Jack,” Emily said, frustration evident in her voice. “Why can’t we have a mix of judges? It’s not just about sports. It’s about showcasing the talents of all our students.” Jack leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “Emily, we need to keep the focus on sports. That’s what this event is about. We want to inspire our athletes, not just anyone with any talent.” Talking to each other also became a problem. Jack’s straight and sometimes rough way of speaking often made Emily feel like she wasn’t being listened to, while her long and detailed explanations annoyed Jack because he wanted to make quick decisions. They had a hard time finding a way to talk that worked for both of them, which led to misunderstandings and delays in their planning. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: To resolve their communication issues, Jack and Emily decided to meet regularly for short, structured discussions. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the day of the talent show, the gymnasium was filled with excited students, teachers, and community members. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: To resolve their communication issues, Jack and Emily decided to meet regularly for short, structured discussions. They agreed to take turns speaking and listening without interruption, ensuring that each person’s ideas were heard and respected. For the judge selection, they compromised by inviting both local sports figures and a mix of teachers and community leaders, creating a diverse panel that represented the school’s values. With everything settled, they eagerly anticipated the positive impact their collaborative efforts would have on the upcoming performance. On the day of the talent show, the gymnasium was filled with excited students, teachers, and community members. The stage was adorned with colorful decorations, and the atmosphere was electric. Acts ranged from basketball free-throws and soccer juggling to gymnastics routines and martial arts demonstrations, showcasing the school’s athletic talent and diversity. The event was a resounding success, raising a significant amount for the children’s hospital and demonstrating the power of collaboration between Jack and Emily. Their initial skepticism had turned into pride as they watched the community come together for a worthy cause. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Jack和Emily两人的合作为线索展开，讲述了柳溪小镇的足球队长Jack和辩论队长Emily从未合作过，但被选为为儿童医院筹款的社区项目负责人。尽管起初有分歧，他们决定共同策划一场体育才艺表演。合作中，他们在评委选拔和沟通方式上产生矛盾，但通过定期讨论和妥协，最终邀请了多元化评委团。活动当天，表演精彩纷呈，筹集了大量资金，展示了合作的力量。两人从怀疑转为骄傲，深刻体会到合作的重要性。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“为了解决他们之间的沟通问题，Jack和Emily决定定期见面，进行简短而有条理的讨论”可知，第一段可描写Jack和Emily友好讨论，倾听和尊重对方的意见，就评委的人选达成了一致意见，然后两人期待着即将到来的表演。 ②由第二段首句内容“在才艺表演的那天，体育馆里挤满了兴奋的学生、老师和社区成员”可知，第二段可描写现场布置得很好，气氛热烈，各种表演轮番上演，活动取得成功，两人的合作取得成果，为此非常骄傲。 2. 续写线索：Jack和Emily定期讨论——两人友好讨论——两人达成一致意见——才艺表演当天——各种演出取得成功——两人的感受和领悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①确保：ensure/guarantee/secure ②尊重：respect/esteem ③代表：represent/stand for ④展示：showcase/display/exhibit 情绪类 ①迫切地：eagerly/avidly/enthusiastically ②使人兴奋的：electric/exhilarating/exciting 【点睛】【高分句型1】They agreed to take turns speaking and listening without interruption, ensuring that each person’s ideas were heard and respected.

Whether it is long, short, straight, curly, or wavy, we all have one thing on our minds — how to care for it. Aloe Vera (芦荟) ● Hair growth: Aloe vera can act as a natural conditioner as well as aid in balancing the pH level of your hair. All that is needed is to apply the aloe vera gel to your scalp (头皮) and hair. ● Strengthens hair: It contains vitamins C, A, and E that help in strengthening hair follicles. ● Helps itchy (痒的) scalp: Aloe vera has been backed up by dermatologists to have components that help deal with itchy scalp. Rosemary Although it is commonly used to spice up a variety of dishes, this plant is also suitable for hair treatment. It contains carnosic acid that aids in the rejuvenation of nerves in the scalp. It also has other benefits like: ● Hair shine ● Boosts Hair Growth ● Acts as hair cleanser: Rosemary has antibacterial components that make it perfect for scalp cleansing. Hibiscus Hibiscus, or some parts of west Africa like to call it “Zobo leaves”, helps with numerous health conditions. But what most of us don’t know is that it works just as well for hair. ● Dandruff (头皮屑) treatment ● Thickens hair and gives volume ● Stops hair loss ● Prevents split ends The grounds of hibiscus leave are usually mixed with other products before being massaged into the hair. It is not a leave-in mixture and should be washed off with a mild shampoo after use. Moringa ● Boosts hair Growth: Moringa contains all the right minerals to aid hair growth. It has vitamin B that aid in the production of red blood cell that carry oxygen to the hair and scalp. ● Prevents dandruff and itchy scalp: Pterygospermin is an antibacterial and antifungal component that helps with things like dandruff. ● Prevents hair loss ● Enhances thickness 1.

News report. B As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks. He read a lot about the Titanic. “My lifelong dream was to find this great ship,” he says. On August 31, 1985, Ballard’s dream came true. He found the wreck of the Titanic. The ship was in two main parts lying four kilometers (2.4 miles) under the sea. Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship. He found many items that told the sad story of the Titanic’s end. For example, he found a child’s shoes, a reminder of the many deaths that happened that night in 1912. In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again. This time, he reached the ship in a small submarine. A deep-sea robot — a “swimming eyeball” — took photos inside the ship. When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship, too. When Ballard returned in 2004 he found the Titanic in very bad condition. Other explorers had taken away about 6,000 items, like clothes, dishes, and shoes. Some even took pieces of the ship. They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn’t agree. Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is like robbing a grave. Instead, he wants to put lights and cameras on and around the shipwreck. This way, people can see the great shipwreck and remember what happened to it. “As long as she needs protection,” says Ballard, “the Titanic will always be part of my life.” 4. What is the reading mainly about? A. Visitors to the Titanic leave it in bad condition. B The great shipwreck and historical treasure — Titanic. C. Robert Ballard found the Titanic and wants to keep it safe. D. Robert Ballard’s hopes that more people will visit the Titanic. 5. The first time he explored the Titanic, Ballard ______. A. found a girl’s shoes in the shipwreck B. took pieces of the ship to protect it in safer places C. took photos of the shipwreck with a “swimming eyeball” D. explored around the shipwreck with undersea equipment 6. What kind of person is Ballard? A. Adventurous and generous. B. Creative and hardworking. C. Devoted and responsible. D. Inspiring and brave. 7. Which statement would Ballard probably agree with? A. People should not remove anything from the Titanic. B. Lights and cameras will hurt the remains of the Titanic. C. The Titanic wreck should be moved out of the water completely. D. More funds should be provided for the Titanic by the government. C What will be connected to the Internet of Things? You. Your child. Your car, clothes, and house. The cook, the bread, the honey, the bees, and more. That’s why some people call it the “Internet of Everything”. By the year 2040, anything and everything that can be tagged with a wireless identifier will probably have one or more. By that time, these tiny, wireless electronic devices could do a lot more than just identify an object. They could relay data on size, shape, and location or receive instructions on what to do next. These devices might be powered by light, motion, radio waves, or some other means. But they will not need to be plugged in or have batteries. Bigger devices in some cases control the smaller ones. Access to all those things in your reach will be through your phone or your virtual personal assistant. The Internet of Things is already a thing. Right now it is in its early stages. In the future, when wireless tracking devices become cheap enough to spread, it will be a game-changer. Some industries are developing it because it gives them what they want most, including information about you, where you go, and what you do. However, the Internet of Things could hit some bumps along the way. Tagging and tracking billions of things is a large and costly project. Technical issues for the wireless tagging of objects include size, durability, increasing transmission distance, and finding its precise location. Besides, privacy could be an issue. Who will be watching? Who will have access to your information? How will they use it? Other concerns are terrorism, inequality, identity, theft, and encroachment (侵入) on personal space. To summarise, the Internet of Things is the connection of everything that can be connected. It’s growing and it brings great promise and possible danger. 8. What can we know about wireless electronic devices in the future? A. They are used mainly to identify an object. B. They need to be charged before being used. C. They all receive instructions from bigger devices. D. They can be accessed through virtual facilities. 9. Which aspect of the Internet of Things does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The failure it could cause. B. The attention it could draw. C. The trouble it could encounter. D. The advantages it could have. 10. What can we learn about the future of the Internet of Things from the passage? A. It will be cheaper but less secure. B. It will be spread widely by industries. C. It will help people solve technical issues. D It can be a game-changer as well as a threat to privacy. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the Internet of Things? A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Confused. D. Optimistic. D The poetry of William Butler Yeats often touches upon the idea of chucking it all away and heading off somewhere. One of his best-known poems about moving on to another place is “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”, a poem which was first published in 1890 when Yeats was still a young man in his 20s. Innisfree is an island located within Lough Gill, in County Sligo, Ireland. It seems that Yeats wants to forget about the complicated world and get back to nature because the life there will be more spiritually fulfilling and peaceful. This is what “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” is about. In summary, Yeats describes his intention to go to Innisfree and build a small cabin to grow beans and keep bees for honey, and live on his own there. The world is quiet and peaceful at Innisfree. The sound of the birds is the only thing puncturing the peaceful silence of the evening. Inhabiting the town or city as he does, a place marked by pavements, roads, and all the bustle and noise of urban life, he nevertheless feels the earth calling to him. One of the most intriguing features of “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” is the repetitive language Yeats employs to convey meanings. In the poem, the line “I will arise and go now” appears twice. Does the poet really intend to go? Or is the poem merely an expression of his desire to do so, when he knows that he will probably never have the courage to leave the city behind and go into the seclusion (清净) of the lake isle? There is, perhaps, no straightforward answer, nor should there be. 12. What do we know about Innisfree? A. Yeats went there in his 20s. B. It is an imaginary place in Yeats’ poem. C. It can bring peace and spiritual fulfilment. D. Yeats wrote a poem about it after going there. 13. What does the underlined word “puncturing” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Flying. B. Banning. C. Breaking. D. Sweeping. 14. What is the probable intention of using repetitive language in this poem? A. To draw the readers’ attention. B. To express the poet’s hesitation. C. To emphasise the pattern and rhythm. D. To make the language more understandable. 15. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To analyse one of Yeats’ poems. B. To attract people to visit Innisfree. C. To introduce the life story of Yeats. D. To appreciate Yeats’ fantastic writing skills. 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。 Some people seem to always keep their life and work well-organised and achieve satisfying productivity.

Jack was the leader of the football team, and Emily was the head of the debate club. Even though they liked different things, they were both respected for their ability to lead and their strong will. They hardly ever met, and they had never worked together on any project. One day, the school announced a new plan: a community project that needed the help of different clubs to raise money for a local children’s hospital. To everyone’s surprise, Jack and Emily were chosen to be the leaders of this project. At first, they were not sure about working together, but they understood how important the project was and agreed to forget their differences. Their first job was to plan a charity event that would bring the school community together. They decided to have a sports talent show, a place where students could show their skills and help a good cause. Jack, with his experience in sports, took care of organizing the details, while Emily, with her ability to persuade, was in charge of promoting the event and getting people to join. As the day of the talent show got closer, some problems started to appear. One big issue was choosing the judges for the talent show. “I just don’t get it, Jack,” Emily said, frustration evident in her voice. “Why can’t we have a mix of judges? It’s not just about sports. It’s about showcasing the talents of all our students.” Jack leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “Emily, we need to keep the focus on sports. That’s what this event is about. We want to inspire our athletes, not just anyone with any talent.” Talking to each other also became a problem. Jack’s straight and sometimes rough way of speaking often made Emily feel like she wasn’t being listened to, while her long and detailed explanations annoyed Jack because he wanted to make quick decisions. They had a hard time finding a way to talk that worked for both of them, which led to misunderstandings and delays in their planning. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: To resolve their communication issues, Jack and Emily decided to meet regularly for short, structured discussions. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the day of the talent show, the gymnasium was filled with excited students, teachers, and community members. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BACBA 6-10 BCABA 11-15 CCABB 16-20CBCCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
