B Discussion Forum HOME ABOUT POSTS CONTACT By: Cindy Wu on Saturday, April 13 The other day, my friends and I had a discussion about the most useful invention of all time. There were many good ideas— the train, the car, and the airplane. They’re all useful, but for an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Taipei, and during the summer the temperature can be 35°C or higher. It’s so hot! I’m not joking when I say that, without an air conditioner, people here couldn’t work or study. The weather is so hot that it can make you feel unwell. By: Jorge on Sunday, April 14 I don’t know if I agree with you, Cindy. For me, the most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet. We can now reach people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City, and there’s a lot of competition. I also have a website. Now, people from all over the world can buy my clothing. With the Internet, I can keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the world. It’s faster than usual ways, and it’s cheaper than using the phone! By: Kazuo on Monday, April 15 Jorge, I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an “invention” that is even more important, and that’s electricity. Of course, this isn’t a man-made invention, but without people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta, we wouldn’t have learned how to use it. And without electricity, many of the world’s most important modern inventions wouldn’t work. 16. What’s the main topic of the posts? A. Different kinds of transportation. B. The most useful inventions. C. The importance of the Internet. D. The history of electricity. 17. Which invention does Cindy think is the most useful? A. The train. B. The car. C. The airplane. D. The air conditioner. 18. How does the Internet help Jorge? ① open a clothing store ② take part in competitions ③ do business faster ④ keep in touch with family and friends A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 19. Why does Kazuo think electricity is the most useful invention? A. It isn’t really man-made. B. Benjamin Franklin invented it. C. We have learned how to use it. D. Many machines can’t work without it. 20. Who will probably agree that communication is the most important? A. Cindy. B. Jorge. C. Kazuo. D. Volta. C As we grow older, we may forget things we once knew. However, according to a new study, the music we have listened to may stay with us forever. The study was led by Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK. She found around 120 healthy adults aged from 18 to 86 and asked them to listen to three parts of music taken from musical pieces to be performed at a concert. They then attended the concert and made notes whenever they heard those parts playing. The results showed that everyone, no matter how old they were, recognized the music parts equally well. Scientists believe that this is because music turns on the amygdala (杏仁体). “We know from general memory research that the amygdala operates a little bit like an importance stamp.” Steffen Herff, a scientist at the University of Sydney in Australia, told Nature. In other words, the brain considers music as something so important that it must be stored safely for a long time. Musical memories are also kept from being influenced by time by other parts of the brain. For example, the cortex (大脑皮层) responsible for movement responds to a song’s rhythm (节奏), while the cortex responsible for hearing processes the pitch (音调). In other words, music has the power to “light up” the whole brain, said Science Daily. Therefore, music can be used to “unlock memories” in patients suffering from neural disorders (神经系统疾病), said Assal Habibi, a researcher at the University of Southern California in the US, in an interview with the university. Habibi is trying to help patients with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) reconnect to their “sense of self” by music. “When you hear nostalgic (怀旧的) music, there’s activity all over your brain, but most particularly in the part that is normally active when we' re daydreaming. It is also active when we are thinking about our own stories.” said Habibi. 21. What’s the focus of the study led by Sarah Sauve? A. How memories change with age. B. The advantages of listening to music. C. How age influences musical memories. D. The role of the amygdala in the brain. 22. Why does music stay in our memory according to the study? A. Because it’s easy and great to sing along to. B. Because it’s connected with strong feelings. C. Because it’s played by musicians at concerts. D. Because the brain treats it as something important. 23. How does music influence the brain according to the passage? A. It only activates the amygdala. B. It is kept from the cortex activity. C. It can “light up” the whole brain. D. It has no influence on brain activity. 24. What is Assal Habibi’s goal in using music with Alzheimer’s patients? A. To improve their musical skills. B. To help them remember their past. C. To reconnect them to their “sense of self”. D. To sense their Alzheimer’s disease. 25. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Music has a lasting influence on memory. B. Music can be useful to wake up the brain. C. Music provides a form of communication. D. Music causes people to dream about their past.

Ⅳ. 阅读表达：（本题9.小题，共20分） A Backwards and Forwards Anna, the ewe, could not wait to see her mom and dad after a fun week at camp. “It is almost noon!” she thought. She jumped into her racecar and drove forwards down the street. Suddenly, the racecar went backwards. Before she knew it, she was back where she had started. Hmm. That was odd. She hopped (跳) into her kayak and started moving forwards along the river. Suddenly, the kayak went backwards. She was back where she had started. Why did that happen again? Think, Anna, think. Anna took a drink from her water bottle while she was thinking. She had written her name on the bottle for camp. A-N-N-A. Wow, that is cool. My name is spelled the same forwards and backwards. Anna thought about the R-A-C-E-C-A-R. Anna thought about the K-A-Y-A-K. She took them forwards but they just went backwards. All of a sudden, her eyes lit up. Anna knew just what to do. When Anna landed, she could see that she had not gone backwards. Anna ran to her mom and dad and hugged them. “Welcome home!” her dad said. “How, was your trip?” her mom asked. Anna could not wait to tell them all about it! 41. What’s the English meaning of the underlined “odd” in Part One? _______________________________________ 42. What does that refer to in Part Two? _______________________________________ 43. What are the three means of transportation (交通工具) Anna used in the story? _______________________________________ 44. Write down a palindrome word except what is mentioned in the text. _______________________________________ 45. If you were Anna, tell your parents about the trip back home. (About 40 words) _______________________________________ B When you open a map on your phone, you might think it is guided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) without giving it a second thought. However, nowadays, most of this service now in China uses the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS, 北斗卫星导航系统). Back in 1978, the US already started providing navigation services with its GPS. However, depending on a navigation system from another country is not safe. In 1994, China started a journey to create its own navigation system, Beidou. Named after the Big Dipper constellation (北斗七星), which has guided people for centuries, the BDS was to make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms. In 2020, after over 20 years of hard work, Beidou completed its global network (全球网络).The BDS became the fourth global navigation system after the GPS of the United States, Galileo of the European Union and GLONASS of Russia. BDS VS GPS ♢How many satellites? BDS: It has more than 30 satellites, including some that stay still above one part of Earth and others that move around. GPS: It uses 31 satellites that are always moving. ♢How accurate (精确的) is the positioning? BDS: It provides positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters on average around the world. GPS: It provides positioning accuracy of around 5 to 10 meters under open sky conditions. The BDS is the first navigation satellite system to provide a global short message communication service. It means you can text others in places without phone signal (信号) or internet. For example, in February 2023, a hiker got lost in heavy snow in Inner Mongolia. He sent a text message using the BDS-powered chip in his phone and got rescued (救援) in time. Moreover, the Beidou system plays an important role in disaster (灾难) prevention and response (响应). Rescuers can communicate through the BDS quickly and clearly. It is also helpful in agriculture(农业), letting farmers grow their plants better. No matter where you are in the world, the BDS can help guide your way. As of 2023, it had provided service for over 120 countries and areas. “By 2035, China will build a positioning, navigation and timing system with the BDS to provide more smart services,” Ran Chengqi, director general of the China Satellite Navigation Office, said at a news meeting. 46. Why did China decide to build the BDS? _______________________________________ 47. What can we learn from the differences between the BDS and the GPS? _______________________________________ 48. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. _______________________________________ 49. Complete the ID information according to the passage. No more than 5 words for each blank. The BDS’s ID Card The BDS, the Chinese own navigation system, is short for ________.It is the fourth global navigation system after the GPS, Galileo and GLONASS. It is the first navigation system to let people ________ and also helps with ________ and agriculture. It has shown ________ in various fields and will provide more smart services.

However, according to a new study, the music we have listened to may stay with us forever. The study was led by Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK. She found around 120 healthy adults aged from 18 to 86 and asked them to listen to three parts of music taken from musical pieces to be performed at a concert. They then attended the concert and made notes whenever they heard those parts playing. The results showed that everyone, no matter how old they were, recognized the music parts equally well. Scientists believe that this is because music turns on the amygdala (杏仁体). “We know from general memory research that the amygdala operates a little bit like an importance stamp.” Steffen Herff, a scientist at the University of Sydney in Australia, told Nature. In other words, the brain considers music as something so important that it must be stored safely for a long time. Musical memories are also kept from being influenced by time by other parts of the brain. For example, the cortex (大脑皮层) responsible for movement responds to a song’s rhythm (节奏), while the cortex responsible for hearing processes the pitch (音调). In other words, music has the power to “light up” the whole brain, said Science Daily. Therefore, music can be used to “unlock memories” in patients suffering from neural disorders (神经系统疾病), said Assal Habibi, a researcher at the University of Southern California in the US, in an interview with the university. Habibi is trying to help patients with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) reconnect to their “sense of self” by music. “When you hear nostalgic (怀旧的) music, there’s activity all over your brain, but most particularly in the part that is normally active when we' re daydreaming. It is also active when we are thinking about our own stories.” said Habibi. 21. What’s the focus of the study led by Sarah Sauve? A. How memories change with age. B. The advantages of listening to music. C. How age influences musical memories. D. The role of the amygdala in the brain. 22. Why does music stay in our memory according to the study? A. Because it’s easy and great to sing along to. B. Because it’s connected with strong feelings. C. Because it’s played by musicians at concerts. D. Because the brain treats it as something important. 23. How does music influence the brain according to the passage? A. It only activates the amygdala. B. It is kept from the cortex activity. C. It can “light up” the whole brain. D. It has no influence on brain activity. 24. What is Assal Habibi’s goal in using music with Alzheimer’s patients? A. To improve their musical skills. B. To help them remember their past. C. To reconnect them to their “sense of self”. D. To sense their Alzheimer’s disease. 25. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Music has a lasting influence on memory. B. Music can be useful to wake up the brain. C. Music provides a form of communication. D. Music causes people to dream about their past. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C 24. C 25. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文，主要讲述了音乐对记忆的持久影响。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She found around 120 healthy adults aged from 18 to 86 and asked them to listen to three parts of music taken from musical pieces to be performed at a concert.”可知，Sarah Sauve的研究对象是18到86岁的成年人，研究他们如何识别音乐片段，结果显示无论年龄大小，人们对音乐片段的识别能力相同。因此，研究的重点是年龄如何影响音乐记忆。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scientists believe that this is because music turns on the amygdala (杏仁体).”和“In other words, the brain considers music as something so important that it must be stored safely for a long time.”可知，科学家认为音乐能够激活杏仁体，而杏仁体就像是一个“重要性标记”，大脑将音乐视为重要的事物，因此会长期存储。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In other words, music has the power to ‘light up’ the whole brain, said Science Daily.”可知，音乐能够“点亮”整个大脑。故选C。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Habibi is trying to help patients with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) reconnect to their ‘sense of self’ by music.”可知，Assal Habibi试图通过音乐帮助阿尔茨海默症患者重新连接他们的“自我感”。故选C。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讨论了音乐对记忆的长期影响，特别是音乐如何在不同年龄段的人中保持记忆的持久性，以及音乐如何帮助阿尔茨海默症患者恢复记忆。故选A。 D Elephant Families African elephants live together in a herd (群).

B When you open a map on your phone, you might think it is guided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) without giving it a second thought. However, nowadays, most of this service now in China uses the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS, 北斗卫星导航系统). Back in 1978, the US already started providing navigation services with its GPS. However, depending on a navigation system from another country is not safe. In 1994, China started a journey to create its own navigation system, Beidou. Named after the Big Dipper constellation (北斗七星), which has guided people for centuries, the BDS was to make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms. In 2020, after over 20 years of hard work, Beidou completed its global network (全球网络).The BDS became the fourth global navigation system after the GPS of the United States, Galileo of the European Union and GLONASS of Russia. BDS VS GPS ♢How many satellites? BDS: It has more than 30 satellites, including some that stay still above one part of Earth and others that move around. GPS: It uses 31 satellites that are always moving. ♢How accurate (精确的) is the positioning? BDS: It provides positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters on average around the world. GPS: It provides positioning accuracy of around 5 to 10 meters under open sky conditions. The BDS is the first navigation satellite system to provide a global short message communication service. It means you can text others in places without phone signal (信号) or internet. For example, in February 2023, a hiker got lost in heavy snow in Inner Mongolia. He sent a text message using the BDS-powered chip in his phone and got rescued (救援) in time. Moreover, the Beidou system plays an important role in disaster (灾难) prevention and response (响应). Rescuers can communicate through the BDS quickly and clearly. It is also helpful in agriculture(农业), letting farmers grow their plants better. No matter where you are in the world, the BDS can help guide your way. As of 2023, it had provided service for over 120 countries and areas. “By 2035, China will build a positioning, navigation and timing system with the BDS to provide more smart services,” Ran Chengqi, director general of the China Satellite Navigation Office, said at a news meeting. 46. Why did China decide to build the BDS? _______________________________________ 47. What can we learn from the differences between the BDS and the GPS? _______________________________________ 48. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. _______________________________________ 49. Complete the ID information according to the passage. No more than 5 words for each blank. The BDS’s ID Card The BDS, the Chinese own navigation system, is short for ________.It is the fourth global navigation system after the GPS, Galileo and GLONASS. It is the first navigation system to let people ________ and also helps with ________ and agriculture. It has shown ________ in various fields and will provide more smart services. 【答案】46. Because depending on a navigation system from another country is not safe. /To make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms. 47. BDS is more accurate than GPS. /BDS has more kinds of satellites than GPS. 48. 无论你在世界的什么地方，BDS/北斗导航系统都能为你导航/引路/指路。 49. ①. (the) Beidou Navigation Satellite System ②. communicate/text/ send messages without signal ③. disaster prevention and response ④. (its) (great) value/help/usages/ importance/advantages 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了有关北斗卫星导航系统的发展经历、与GPS的对比以及它的功能。 【46题详解】 根据第二段“depending on a navigation system from another country is not safe.”和第三段“the BDS was to make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms.”可知，依赖其他国家的导航系统并不安全，北斗系统旨在确保中国能够按照自己的方式导航未来。故填Because depending on a navigation system from another country is not safe. /To make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms. 【47题详解】 根据图片下方表格的“BDS: It has more than 30 satellites”和“BDS: It provides positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters on average around the world.”可知，BDS有更多卫星，定位更精准，这些是BDS不同于GPS的地方，故填BDS is more accurate than GPS. /BDS has more kinds of satellites than GPS. 【48题详解】 No matter where“无论在哪里”，you“你”；are“是”；in the world“在世界上”，地点状语；the BDS“北斗导航系统”；can“可以，能够”；help“帮助”；guide your way“导航，引路，指路”。故填无论你在世界的什么地方，BDS/北斗导航系统都能为你导航/引路/指路。 【49题详解】 ①根据第一段“However, nowadays, most of this service now in China uses the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS, 北斗卫星导航系统)”可知BDS是“the Beidou Navigation Satellite System”的缩写，故填(the) Beidou Navigation Satellite System。 ②根据倒数第三段“The BDS is the first navigation satellite system to provide a global short message communication service. It means you can text others in places without phone signal (信号) or internet.”可知BDS是首个提供全球短信通信服务的卫星导航系统。这意味着你可以在没有电话信号或互联网的地方给他人发短信。故填communicate/text/send messages without signal。 ③根据倒数第二段“the Beidou system plays an important role in disaster (灾难) prevention and response (响应).”可知北斗系统在灾难预防和响应中起到重要作用，故填disaster prevention and response。 ④阅读全文，可知北斗系统功能强大，已经展示出了自身的价值和重要性。故填(its) (great) value/help/usages/ importance/advantages。 Ⅴ.书面表达（共15分） 50. 中国春节申遗成功，充分彰显出中华优秀传统文化的全球影响力和独特魅力。请以“The Spring Festival”为题，写一篇英语短文，介绍春节的意义、庆祝方式，以及你想如何向世界宣传春节。 要求： 1.词数100左右； 2.不得出现真实姓名、校名等相关信息。 The Spring Festival ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 The Spring Festival The Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China.
