They were the first ever to reach its 8,848-meter top, marking a big moment in history. So how did they do it? In a 1974 interview, Hillary talked about the climb. He said that to do a climb like this, being skilled and experienced in climbing is not enough. You also need to have enthusiasm (热忱). “The really good mountaineers that I know never lose that sense of enthusiasm,” he said. And then there was the team. Helping Hillary and Norgay to the top were no less than 700 people, said Hillary. Some of them were helping to carry supplies (物资)into the area. It might be easier these days, with better transportation and technology, but back then, a lot of the work needed to be done by people. “It is a team job …The two men who reach the top are completely dependent on the whole team,” he said. Even though Hillary had a good team and all he needed, he wasn’t sure if they would reach the top. Because of the height, anything can happen, and it can happen really fast. “On a mountain like this… you can never be completely confident,” he said. Hillary and Norgay’s amazing achievement shows the importance of enthusiasm and teamwork. It has encouraged many others to try to climb the mountain since. 5. What’s the main idea of paragraph 1? A.

The “card” shows that the seed is at China’s seed bank in Beijing. Let’s go on a trip with a seed to see how it gets its “ID card”. A seed’s journey to the seed bank starts with a census (普查). China’s latest census of agricultural (农业的) seeds started in March, 2021 and ended in January, 2024, reported CCTV news. Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country. They then arrived at the seed bank. When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination”. For example, workers put all kinds of Jobs tears (薏苡) from different farms together. Then they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste. Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV news a seed that had a large insect inside it. “A seed like this should not be saved,” he said. With the bad seeds gone, researchers then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict their growth. Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they’re kept in a super cold freezer at -18℃. China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring (确保) the food security (安全) of the country. 9. China’s latest census of agricultural seeds lasted about ________. A. 1 year B. 2 years C. 3 years D. 4 years 10. How does a seed get its “ID card”? Put the following in the correct order. a. All the unhealthy seeds are given up. b. The seeds are dried, weighed and kept in a freezer. c. The seeds arrive at the seed bank. d. The seeds are tested to see how likely they are to grow. e. Each seed has a “physical examination”. A. ceadb B. aedbc C. cdeab D. abedc 11. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. what China’s seed bank is like B why our country set up China’s seed bank C. China’s seed bank can help develop new plants D. China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe 12. We can read this passage in a magazine about ________. A. education B. travel C. health D. science 【答案】9. C 10. A 11. B 12. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国种子库如何通过普查、筛选和检测等步骤为种子制作“身份证”，以确保农业发展的安全与可持续性。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据“China’s latest census of agricultural (农业的) seeds started in March, 2021 and ended in January, 2024, reported CCTV news.”可知，中国最新的农业种子普查于2021年3月开始，于2024年1月结束，持续了3年。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They then arrived at the seed bank.”可知，首先是来到种子库，即c，排除BD选项；根据“When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their ‘physical examination’.”可知，然后是对种子进行体检，即e排第二，排除C选项。故选A。 【11题详解】 段落大意题。根据“China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring (确保) the food security (安全) of the country.”可知，最后一段介绍了种子库的作用，即中国为什么要建立种子库。故选B。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了中国种子库如何通过普查、筛选和检测等步骤为种子制作“身份证”，以确保农业发展的安全与可持续性。本文属于农业科技板块的内容，故推知可在杂志的科技板块看到。故选D。 D Xu Jian is a visually impaired (视力受损的)woman in Shenzhen, Guangdong. For the past 7 years, Xu’s guide dog Daimeng has been at her side at work and for daily activities. Guide dogs means a lot to visually impaired people. Every year on the last Wednesday of April, we celebrate International Guide Dog Day. This year, it is on April 30. Xu got the dog from the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian, Liaoning Province, the first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland. Wang Jingyu, a professor at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006. In fact, the training for the first guide dogs at the center started in 2004. Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China. According to Wang Xin, a trainer who has worked at the center since 2010,90 percent of the center’s guide dogs are Labradors (拉布拉多猎犬), which are really kind and smart. Once trainers find good guide dog puppies (幼犬), the puppies need to take personality tests. A good guide dog should not be too curious, excitable, or shy as these personalities could cause problems during work, according to Wang. One volunteer, Ms Sun, has raised four puppies since 2019. “Raising guide dogs is quite different from raising pet dogs.” said Ms Sun. She strictly follows the center’s guidelines (指导方针)for their care, including controlled feeding and teaching the dogs to refuse food when necessary. She also guides them along blind tracks (盲道)made for visually impaired people. However, even if the dogs successfully pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog, Wang added. Usually, guide dogs serve for 6 to 10 years. Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers, those who raised them, or volunteers. 13. The first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland was set up in ________. A. 2004 B. 2006 C. 2010 D. 2019 14. Why are most of the center’s guide dogs Labradors? A. They are really kind and smart. B. They can walk along blind tracks. C. They refuse food when necessary. D. They are very curious and excitable. 15. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Now there are 350 guide dogs serving in different areas of China. B. Raising guide dogs is similar to raising pet dogs. C. Not every dog that passes all tests can become a guide dog. D. Guide dogs usually serve for 5 to 10 years. 16. The passage is about ________. A. dog trainers B. guide dogs C. International Guide Dog Day D. China Guide Dog Training Center 【答案】13. B 14. A 15. C 16. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了位于辽宁省大连市的中国导盲犬训练中心，它为盲人训练导盲犬。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Wang Jingyu, a professor at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006.”可知，王教授于2006年创办中国第一个导盲犬训练中心。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“90 percent of the center’s guide dogs are Labradors (拉布拉多猎犬), which are really kind and smart.”可知，绝大多数导盲犬的品种都是拉布拉多，是因为拉布拉多聪明友善。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, even if the dogs successfully pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog, Wang added.”可知，不是每只通过所有测试的狗都能成为导盲犬。故选C。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了中国导盲犬训练中心的起源和导盲犬的挑选要求，所以这篇文章是关于导盲犬的。故选B。 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 There are some really strange school rules in the world that might shock you, from not allowing students to wear their Ugg boots into class to not allowing schoolbags into the classroom.

According to Statista, revenue (收入) in the world of the dumbphone market reached about 10.6 billion dollars (76.7 billion yuan) in 2024. Nostalgia (怀旧) might be a reason why dumbphones get popular again. Many people had a dumbphone as their first phone, so they feel nostalgic for these classic phones, Ernest Doku, an expert on mobile phones, told the BBC. What’s more, Gen Zers want to cut screen time. Fjolla Arifi, a 24-year-old from the US, used to spend an average of eight hours and 44 minutes a day on her smartphone. But now using a dumbphone for just one week has made a big difference. “I feel like I’m adding more to my conversations with friends without my smartphone. I wasn’t just watching my phone to see if I received texts or emails,” she wrote on Buzzfeed News. 41. What can dumbphones do? ___________________________________ 42. Why do Gen Zers use dumbphones? ___________________________________ 43. Who does Fjolla Arifi spend more time with now? ___________________________________ 44. Which do you think is better, the smartphone or the dumbphone? Give your opinions. (Write 30 words or more.) ___________________________________ 【答案】41. They can (only) make calls, send messages, check maps and do little else. 42. Because they want to cut screen time./They want to cut screen time./To cut screen time. 43. Her friends./ Friends. 44. I think the smartphone is better. We can use it to look up words and information online. We can also go online to find out what’s going on around the world./I think the dumbphone is better because we must cut screen time. It’s good for our eyes and health. And we should spend more time with our family and friends. (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了笨手机的复兴。 【41题详解】 根据第一段中“‘dumbphones (笨手机)’ that can only make calls, send messages, check maps and do little else.”可知，笨手机只能打电话、发信息、查看地图，几乎不做其他事情。故填They can (only) make calls, send messages, check maps and do little else. 【42题详解】 根据最后一段中“What’s more, Gen Zers want to cut screen time.”可知，同性恋者用笨手机的原因是他们想减少屏幕时间。故填Because they want to cut screen time./They want to cut screen time./To cut screen time. 【43题详解】 根据最后一段中“‘I feel like I’m adding more to my conversations with friends without my smartphone. I wasn’t just watching my phone to see if I received texts or emails,’ she wrote on Buzzfeed News.”可知，Fjolla Arifi现在和朋友在一起的时间比较多。故填Her friends./ Friends. 【44题详解】 开放性试题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填I think the smartphone is better. We can use it to look up words and information online. We can also go online to find out what’s going on around the world. /I think the dumbphone is better because we must cut screen time.

The journey took him 17 months. ·Students in the Netherlands made a strong car called Stella Terra. It runs on solar power (太阳能). This is the first solar-powered car that can travel a long way off-road without needing to stop to recharge. ·Four children survived alone in the Amazon rainforest in Colombia for 40 days after a small plane crashed (坠毁) there on May 1,2023. They were finally saved after living over a month in the rainforest. The news that they were safe spread fast and brought joy to the whole country. ·Coco Gauff, a tennis player from the US, won her first Grand Slam championship (大满贯) at 19 years old on Sept 9, 2023, by beating Aryna Sabalenka. It makes her the youngest American to win a major tennis championship since 1999. 1. ________ is the youngest American to win a major tennis championship since 1999. A. Liam Garner B. Stella Terra C.

Colombia D. the Netherlands 4. The writer wrote the four passages in order to ________. A. help the young people B. introduce the young people C. compare the young people D. praise the young people B On May 29, 1953, mountaineers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay set foot on the top of Mount Qomolangma, the world’s highest mountain. They were the first ever to reach its 8,848-meter top, marking a big moment in history. So how did they do it? In a 1974 interview, Hillary talked about the climb. He said that to do a climb like this, being skilled and experienced in climbing is not enough. You also need to have enthusiasm (热忱). “The really good mountaineers that I know never lose that sense of enthusiasm,” he said. And then there was the team. Helping Hillary and Norgay to the top were no less than 700 people, said Hillary. Some of them were helping to carry supplies (物资)into the area. It might be easier these days, with better transportation and technology, but back then, a lot of the work needed to be done by people. “It is a team job …The two men who reach the top are completely dependent on the whole team,” he said. Even though Hillary had a good team and all he needed, he wasn’t sure if they would reach the top. Because of the height, anything can happen, and it can happen really fast. “On a mountain like this… you can never be completely confident,” he said. Hillary and Norgay’s amazing achievement shows the importance of enthusiasm and teamwork. It has encouraged many others to try to climb the mountain since. 5. What’s the main idea of paragraph 1? A. How Hillary and Norgay got to the top of Qomolangma. B. Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world. C. Mount Qomolangma is really dangerous and difficult to climb. D. Hillary and Norgay were the first to reach the top of Qomolangma. 6. According to Hillary, their success depended on ________. ① skills and experience ② enthusiasm ③ team work ④ better transportation and technology A. ①②③ B. ①② C. ②③ D. ①②③④ 7.

The dream of a mountaineer C. A big moment in history D. The right mind for climbing C Did you know that a seed (种子) can have its own “ID card”? The “card” shows that the seed is at China’s seed bank in Beijing. Let’s go on a trip with a seed to see how it gets its “ID card”. A seed’s journey to the seed bank starts with a census (普查). China’s latest census of agricultural (农业的) seeds started in March, 2021 and ended in January, 2024, reported CCTV news. Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country. They then arrived at the seed bank. When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination”. For example, workers put all kinds of Jobs tears (薏苡) from different farms together. Then they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste. Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV news a seed that had a large insect inside it. “A seed like this should not be saved,” he said. With the bad seeds gone, researchers then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict their growth. Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they’re kept in a super cold freezer at -18℃. China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring (确保) the food security (安全) of the country. 9. China’s latest census of agricultural seeds lasted about ________. A. 1 year B. 2 years C. 3 years D. 4 years 10. How does a seed get its “ID card”? Put the following in the correct order. a. All the unhealthy seeds are given up. b. The seeds are dried, weighed and kept in a freezer. c. The seeds arrive at the seed bank. d. The seeds are tested to see how likely they are to grow. e. Each seed has a “physical examination”. A. ceadb B. aedbc C. cdeab D. abedc 11. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. what China’s seed bank is like B. why our country set up China’s seed bank C China’s seed bank can help develop new plants D. China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe 12. We can read this passage in a magazine about ________. A. education B. travel C. health D. science D Xu Jian is a visually impaired (视力受损的)woman in Shenzhen, Guangdong. For the past 7 years, Xu’s guide dog Daimeng has been at her side at work and for daily activities. Guide dogs means a lot to visually impaired people. Every year on the last Wednesday of April, we celebrate International Guide Dog Day. This year, it is on April 30. Xu got the dog from the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian, Liaoning Province, the first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland. Wang Jingyu, a professor at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006. In fact, the training for the first guide dogs at the center started in 2004. Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China. According to Wang Xin, a trainer who has worked at the center since 2010,90 percent of the center’s guide dogs are Labradors (拉布拉多猎犬), which are really kind and smart. Once trainers find good guide dog puppies (幼犬), the puppies need to take personality tests. A good guide dog should not be too curious, excitable, or shy as these personalities could cause problems during work, according to Wang. One volunteer, Ms Sun, has raised four puppies since 2019. “Raising guide dogs is quite different from raising pet dogs.” said Ms Sun. She strictly follows the center’s guidelines (指导方针)for their care, including controlled feeding and teaching the dogs to refuse food when necessary. She also guides them along blind tracks (盲道)made for visually impaired people. However, even if the dogs successfully pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog, Wang added. Usually, guide dogs serve for 6 to 10 years. Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers, those who raised them, or volunteers. 13. The first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland was set up in ________. A. 2004 B. 2006 C. 2010 D. 2019 14. Why are most of the center’s guide dogs Labradors? A. They are really kind and smart. B. They can walk along blind tracks. C. They refuse food when necessary. D. They are very curious and excitable. 15. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Now there are 350 guide dogs serving in different areas of China. B. Raising guide dogs is similar to raising pet dogs. C. Not every dog that passes all tests can become a guide dog. D. Guide dogs usually serve for 5 to 10 years. 16. The passage is about ________. A. dog trainers B. guide dogs C. International Guide Dog Day D.

According to Statista, revenue (收入) in the world of the dumbphone market reached about 10.6 billion dollars (76.7 billion yuan) in 2024. Nostalgia (怀旧) might be a reason why dumbphones get popular again. Many people had a dumbphone as their first phone, so they feel nostalgic for these classic phones, Ernest Doku, an expert on mobile phones, told the BBC. What’s more, Gen Zers want to cut screen time. Fjolla Arifi, a 24-year-old from the US, used to spend an average of eight hours and 44 minutes a day on her smartphone. But now using a dumbphone for just one week has made a big difference. “I feel like I’m adding more to my conversations with friends without my smartphone. I wasn’t just watching my phone to see if I received texts or emails,” she wrote on Buzzfeed News. 41 What can dumbphones do? ___________________________________ 42. Why do Gen Zers use dumbphones? ___________________________________ 43. Who does Fjolla Arifi spend more time with now? ___________________________________ 44. Which do you think is better, the smartphone or the dumbphone? Give your opinions.
