Matthew Weihmuller, despite being blind from birth, earned his master’s degree in music at Florida State University. He also tours with a band that shows elements of jazz and rock. Additionally, he is a composer, using specialized music technology for the blind. He frequently engages as a speaker, having been a guest lecturer at John Hopkins University.
While explaining his shift from performance to teaching, Weihmuller said, “All great performers teach, and it’s the only way to pass along this craft, especially about jazz music. I found that teaching became more my calling than performing. I wanted to make a difference, and that was really important to me.”
Innovatively, Weihmuller uses a unique teaching method to enhance communication among jazz students. When practising a play, he turns off the lights, removes the visualelements and forces students to rely more on their other senses. They have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands. Weihmuller’s own blindness has fueled his mastery of other senses, particularly crucial in playing jazz. “You have to turn your disadvantage into an advantage. Where there is a will, there is a way.” Weihmuller said.
Reflecting on his early struggles with sheet music, Weihmuller recalled the challenge of obtaining braille (盲文) music, which was not as accessible then as it is today. To overcome this obstacle, he had to create his own braille music, a process that continued through his college years.
Weihmuller has a strong desire to influence his students with value of perseverance and musical progression. His ultimate goal is to inspire others facing challenges and disabilities. He added, “I do hope that when they leave my classroom, they’re not only better musicians but also better people.”
4. What can we learn about Weihmuller from Paragraph 1?
A. He has multiple roles. B. He owns a music band.
C. He complains of his disability. D. He gives talks worldwide.
5. What drives Weihmuller to turn to music teaching?
A. The duty to help performers. B. The strong desire to succeed.
C. The will to pass down music. D. The aim to gain independence.
6. Why did Weihmuller turn off lights in his music class?
A. To reduce students’ anxiety. B. To train physical abilities.
C. To teach students better. D. To test learning results.
7. Which of the following can best describe Weihmuller?
A. Outgoing and caring. B. Courageous and honest.
C. Creative and determined. D. Knowledgeable and patient.
C
A group of clams (河蚌) recently caught people’s attention after an article was posted by China Science Communication online. Although these clams are usually regarded as nothing more than delicious food, they work to monitor the local water quality in Poland.
Gruba Kaska pumping station, which stands in the River Wisla, helps provide millions of liters of water to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. However, one particular concern for the water quality has been heavy metals, and researchers sought help from nature to solve this problem.
Clams are sensitive to pollutants in their environment as they filter (过滤) water to feed on microorganisms (微生物). They shut their shells immediately after detecting “dangerous” water.
Based on this, the researchers selected eight clams at a time and recorded the natural opening of their shells. After the clam “employees” become accustomed to the local water, they are placed in a specially designed container. With sensors stuck onto their shells, the clams are connected to a system that records how wide the shells are open. If four or more clams close their shells at the same time, an alarm will be set off and the water supply will be shut down. The result is reliable because the creatures are considering many different factors at the same time, according to ZME Science.
Animals have long been helpers for human activities. Farmers in north Queensland, Australia, have been ordering different species of dung beetles (屎壳郎) to help clean up cattle waste, according to ABC News. As the number of cattle grows, their waste increases, leading to an enormous population of flies and a worsening environment. Dung beetles, however, take the waste and bury it. This way, they help improve soil quality.
Similarly, cockroaches are used to deal with kitchen waste at several firms in China, according to a report of The Beijing News. About 300 million cockroaches are fed 15 tons of food waste on a daily basis, and they themselves are a good protein resource for livestock.
8. What is the new usage of clams?
A. To solve the food shortage. B. To relieve people’s anxiety.
C. To remove heavy metals sooner. D. To check the water quality.
9. What does “this” in paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. The clams are used to the local water. B. The clams prefer to close their shells.
C. The clams are regarded as delicious food. D. The clams are sensitive to polluted water.
10. How did the researchers obtain the research finding?
A. By selecting different kinds of clams. B. By referring to some historical records.
C. By analysing the results of the records. D. By interviewing some experts of ZME Science.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Animals, Good Helpers of Humans B. Three Kinds of Amazing Animals
C. A Special Way to Test Water Quality D. Animals, Far More than Tasty Food
D
In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels South Korea showed the world’s first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts,” says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What’s more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “world’s first model sustainable floating city” aiming to be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems, closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world’s first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12,000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12,000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city’s needs.
“I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future’. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities,” said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
12. Why does South Korea build the floating city?
A. To deal with the sea level rise. B. To develop the sustainable energy.
C. To increase the land to grow plants. D. To help reduce the global temperature.
13. What can we know about the floating city?
A. It doesn’t need agriculture. B. It has six separate systems.
C It produces energy by rooftop. D. It can provide almost everything by itself.
14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. How the floating city will operate in its way.
B. How many people the floating city will hold.
C. How the floating city will produce its energy.
D. How the floating city will recycle its resources.
15. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise. B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a floating city is exciting. D. The first floating city is on the way.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a cold, stormy winter day, an old friend invited me out for a cup of coffee. We met by his house, and as we walked down the street, we passed by a small cafe with a sign hanging on the door that read: “You're welcome in. We have suspended coffee.”
“Suspended coffee?” I asked my friend. “What does that mean?” “You've never heard of it?” my friend asked, and I shook my head. “Follow me,” he told me, and we joined the line of people standing in front of the cash register.
“What can I offer you today?” The cashier asked a couple of young lawyers who were looking at the menu. “I think we'll take three cups of coffee,” one of them said. “2 now, and 1 suspended.” The cashier nodded, as if it were an ordinary order, took payment and placed two cups of hot coffee on the counter. The two thanked him, took the two cups and left without waiting for the third. The next in line was an older couple. “Same order as always?” The cashier smiled at them. “Yes, thank you,” replied the woman. “But please add two suspended coffees, we haven't purchased any of those for quite a while.”
A few minutes later the couple received their order, and our turn to order arrived. “Good morning!” said the cashier. “How can I help you?” “I think we'd like two cups of coffee,” my friend said. “We'll drink them here.” When our order was ready, we took our cups and sat down to drink them together. “Will you tell me what this is about?” I asked my friend, but he just said: “Wait and see.”
Our conversation flowed, and before we noticed it, nearly two hours passed. The cafe was almost empty of people when the door suddenly opened and a man in old shabby clothes and a tired look came in and stood quietly in front of the cash register.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He thought for a moment and then asked quietly: “Do you have a suspended coffee?”

Matthew Weihmuller, despite being blind from birth, earned his master’s degree in music at Florida State University. He also tours with a band that shows elements of jazz and rock. Additionally, he is a composer, using specialized music technology for the blind. He frequently engages as a speaker, having been a guest lecturer at John Hopkins University.
While explaining his shift from performance to teaching, Weihmuller said, “All great performers teach, and it’s the only way to pass along this craft, especially about jazz music. I found that teaching became more my calling than performing. I wanted to make a difference, and that was really important to me.”
Innovatively, Weihmuller uses a unique teaching method to enhance communication among jazz students. When practising a play, he turns off the lights, removes the visualelements and forces students to rely more on their other senses. They have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands. Weihmuller’s own blindness has fueled his mastery of other senses, particularly crucial in playing jazz. “You have to turn your disadvantage into an advantage. Where there is a will, there is a way.” Weihmuller said.
Reflecting on his early struggles with sheet music, Weihmuller recalled the challenge of obtaining braille (盲文) music, which was not as accessible then as it is today. To overcome this obstacle, he had to create his own braille music, a process that continued through his college years.
Weihmuller has a strong desire to influence his students with value of perseverance and musical progression. His ultimate goal is to inspire others facing challenges and disabilities. He added, “I do hope that when they leave my classroom, they’re not only better musicians but also better people.”
4. What can we learn about Weihmuller from Paragraph 1?
A. He has multiple roles. B. He owns a music band.
C. He complains of his disability. D. He gives talks worldwide.
5. What drives Weihmuller to turn to music teaching?
A. The duty to help performers. B. The strong desire to succeed.
C. The will to pass down music. D. The aim to gain independence.
6. Why did Weihmuller turn off lights in his music class?
A. To reduce students’ anxiety. B. To train physical abilities.
C. To teach students better. D. To test learning results.
7. Which of the following can best describe Weihmuller?

A group of clams (河蚌) recently caught people’s attention after an article was posted by China Science Communication online. Although these clams are usually regarded as nothing more than delicious food, they work to monitor the local water quality in Poland.
Gruba Kaska pumping station, which stands in the River Wisla, helps provide millions of liters of water to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. However, one particular concern for the water quality has been heavy metals, and researchers sought help from nature to solve this problem.
Clams are sensitive to pollutants in their environment as they filter (过滤) water to feed on microorganisms (微生物). They shut their shells immediately after detecting “dangerous” water.
Based on this, the researchers selected eight clams at a time and recorded the natural opening of their shells. After the clam “employees” become accustomed to the local water, they are placed in a specially designed container. With sensors stuck onto their shells, the clams are connected to a system that records how wide the shells are open. If four or more clams close their shells at the same time, an alarm will be set off and the water supply will be shut down. The result is reliable because the creatures are considering many different factors at the same time, according to ZME Science.
Animals have long been helpers for human activities. Farmers in north Queensland, Australia, have been ordering different species of dung beetles (屎壳郎) to help clean up cattle waste, according to ABC News. As the number of cattle grows, their waste increases, leading to an enormous population of flies and a worsening environment. Dung beetles, however, take the waste and bury it. This way, they help improve soil quality.
Similarly, cockroaches are used to deal with kitchen waste at several firms in China, according to a report of The Beijing News. About 300 million cockroaches are fed 15 tons of food waste on a daily basis, and they themselves are a good protein resource for livestock.
8. What is the new usage of clams?
A. To solve the food shortage. B. To relieve people’s anxiety.
C. To remove heavy metals sooner. D. To check the water quality.
9. What does “this” in paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. The clams are used to the local water. B. The clams prefer to close their shells.
C. The clams are regarded as delicious food. D. The clams are sensitive to polluted water.
10. How did the researchers obtain the research finding?
A. By selecting different kinds of clams. B. By referring to some historical records.
C. By analysing the results of the records. D. By interviewing some experts of ZME Science.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Animals, Good Helpers of Humans B. Three Kinds of Amazing Animals
C. A Special Way to Test Water Quality D. Animals, Far More than Tasty Food
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A

In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world’s first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts,” says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What’s more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “world’s first model sustainable floating city” aiming to be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems, closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world’s first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12,000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12,000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city’s needs.
“I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future’. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities” said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
12. Why does South Korea build the floating city?
A. To deal with the sea level rise. B. To develop the sustainable energy.
C. To increase the land to grow plants. D. To help reduce the global temperature.
13. What can we know about the floating city?
A. It doesn’t need agriculture. B. It has six separate systems.
C. It produces energy by rooftop. D. It can provide almost everything by itself.
14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. How the floating city will operate in its way.
B. How many people the floating city will hold.
C. How the floating city will produce its energy.
D. How the floating city will recycle its resources.
15. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise. B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a floating city is exciting. D. The first floating city is on the way.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国高铁的快速发展情况。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:高速铁路,近年来发展迅速,已成为中国著名的名片。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词high-speed railway,从句中缺少主语,指物,所以应该用关系代词which代替先行词在从句中作主语。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:中国的高速铁路取得了快速发展,使我们离家乡更近了。因为高铁的快速发展,我们回家乡应该是更方便、快捷了,所以是离家乡更近了,close应该用比较级。故填closer。
【38题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:从那时起,近340个传统村庄和高铁站之间的距离从三个多小时缩短到不到一个小时。空格处是句子的谓语动词,根据时间状语 From then on可知用现在完成时;主语the distances与reduce之间是被动关系,用被动语态;主语是复数形式,所以助动词用have。故填have been reduced。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着中国高铁的运行速度越来越快,人们可以节省更多的旅行时间。空格处在with复合结构中作宾语补足语,动词become与宾语the operating speed of China’s high-speed railway之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词becoming作补足语。故填becoming。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:高速铁路建设技术和科研水平的不断提高,使兰乌高铁、哈大高铁、拉萨林芝高铁相继建成。空格前的it是形式宾语,空格处应该用不定式形式作真正的宾语,make it adj. to do something是固定句型。故填to build。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国的高铁显然已经走向全球。短语go global表示“走向全球”。故填global。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:2014年,中国企业在海外承建的第一条高铁——安伊高铁建成通车。空格处是谓语动词,根据时间状语in 2014可知,描述过去发生的事,用一般过去时;主语An-Yi high-speed rail与动词complete之间是被动关系,用被动语态;主语是单数形式,be动词用was。故填was completed。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:由中国和印尼共同建设的雅万高铁,可以将两个城市之间的旅行时间从3个多小时缩短到40分钟。修饰动词build用副词jointly。故填jointly。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2022年,国际铁路联盟发布了世界上第一个基于中国经验的高速铁路建设国际标准。be based on“基于……”是固定搭配,此处用过去分词based作定语。故填based。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:中国的高铁跨越江河山岭,连接国内外,随时间而变化。空格后的动词see与上文的cross和connect是并列谓语,所以应该用连词and连接。故填and。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a cold, stormy winter day, an old friend invited me out for a cup of coffee. We met by his house, and as we walked down the street, we passed by a small cafe with a sign hanging on the door that read: “You're welcome in. We have suspended coffee.”
“Suspended coffee?” I asked my friend. “What does that mean?” “You've never heard of it?” my friend asked, and I shook my head. “Follow me,” he told me, and we joined the line of people standing in front of the cash register.
“What can I offer you today?” The cashier asked a couple of young lawyers who were looking at the menu. “I think we'll take three cups of coffee,” one of them said. “2 now, and 1 suspended.” The cashier nodded, as if it were an ordinary order, took payment and placed two cups of hot coffee on the counter. The two thanked him, took the two cups and left without waiting for the third. The next in line was an older couple. “Same order as always?” The cashier smiled at them. “Yes, thank you,” replied the woman. “But please add two suspended coffees, we haven't purchased any of those for quite a while.”
A few minutes later the couple received their order, and our turn to order arrived. “Good morning!” said the cashier. “How can I help you?” “I think we'd like two cups of coffee,” my friend said. “We'll drink them here.” When our order was ready, we took our cups and sat down to drink them together. “Will you tell me what this is about?” I asked my friend, but he just said: “Wait and see.”
Our conversation flowed, and before we noticed it, nearly two hours passed. The cafe was almost empty of people when the door suddenly opened and a man in old shabby clothes and a tired look came in and stood quietly in front of the cash register.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He thought for a moment and then asked quietly: “Do you have a suspended coffee?”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When he saw my expression, my friend began to explain it to me.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He thought for a moment and then asked quietly: “Do you have a suspended coffee?” The cashier smiled and nodded, poured the man a cup of hot coffee and placed it in front of him. The man thanked him, took the glass and left. No one else seemed to take notice of this moment, which appeared to be ordinary in this café, but I could not help but be moved by this little gesture. However, to my puzzlement, what does a suspended coffee mean on earth?
When he saw my expression, my friend began to explain it to me. “Anyone can prepay for a cup of coffee for someone less fortunate without making them feel bad. The cup of coffee waits for anyone interested in it, and who knows better than us what a warm cup of coffee can do for a cold day.” When we got up to leave, I stopped for a moment and went back to the cash register. “I just wanted to buy another cup of coffee. Suspended.”
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,作者在和朋友一起喝咖啡时路过一家写着“You're welcome in. We have suspended coffee.”的咖啡馆。作者和朋友进去喝咖啡,才知道 suspended coffee是指人们为无法支付咖啡钱的客人预付的咖啡,向不幸的人们传递爱和温暖。
【详解】续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:他想了一会儿,安静地问:“你们有待用咖啡吗?”,所以应该写收银员听到这句话之后的反应和做法。要详细描述收银员、衣衫褴褛的客人和其他客人的动作、态度和反应。第二段开头是:当他看到我的表情时,我的朋友开始向我解释。本段应该写我的朋友对suspended coffee的解释以及我之后的行为。
本篇主要应用一般过去时,续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度,我们要熟悉所给划线词语,恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右;续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句,如:No one else seemed to take notice of this moment, which appeared to be ordinary in this café. 这句话运用了which引导的定语从句。使用了一些固定词组,如take notice of ; appear to do; explain sth. to sb.等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
