Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
5. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ________.
A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn D. the elderly were free from suffering
6. According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings.

D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.
7. How did Natalie help the survivors?

The father of an 8-year-old boy says his son is now the youngest person to climb California’ s El Capitan. After four days of guided climbing, Joe Baker and his son Sam reached the top of the cliff (悬崖) face inside Yosemite National Park last week.
“We made it!” Joe said. “What an amazing week! I’m so proud of Sam. He completed the youngest rope climbing of El Capitan! In a few years he might be back breaking more records.”
Rock climbing has been a favorite pastime for the Baker family. Though Sam’s mother didn’t join the climbing, she is also a crazy climber. The family set up a website to record Sam’s adventures and collect money to make films that inspire parents to adventure with their kids. Sam began training at least 18 months ago and did well in a test run. They began the climbing on October 25 and reached the top on 28. They made the journey with the help of two guides.
But their achievement has not been without controversy (争议): as the climbing made headlines around the world, some members of the Yosemite climbing community began to say publicly that what the pair had done was not actually called climbing. The Bakers used a technique known as “jugging” which needs using handheld devices to slide up a fixed rope that’s been placed by a guide, without touching the rock face.
Reaching the top can not be so simple. The climbing takes many days, which means carrying up all necessary food, water and other heavy equipment. It also involves setting up and sleeping on a small platform that’s suspended (悬) thousands of feet in the air. The rock face is very exposed, a term (术语) used to describe a place that’s steep (陡峭的) and unprotected.
9. What do we know about Sam from the first two paragraphs?
A. He is the best climber in California.
B. He has been trained by his father.
C. He is the youngest climber reaching the top of El Capitan.
D. He is planning another mountain climbing with his father.
10. Why did the Bakers found a website?
A. To record their happy life.
B. To encourage families to experience adventures.
C. To show off Sam’s climbing experience.
D. To advise parents to climb El Capitan with their kids.
11. What’s some members’ attitude to the achievement of Joe and Sam in paragraph 4?
A. Supportive. B. Impressive. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
12. What can we learn about the climbing from the last paragraph?
A. It is challenging and fun. B. It needs some courage.
C. It requires high-tech equipment. D. It affects most climbers’ sleep.
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. D 12. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了8岁男孩Sam在父亲陪伴下成为攀登加州酋长岩年龄最小的人。
【9题详解】

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But their achievement has not been without controversy (争议): as the climbing made headlines around the world, some members of the Yosemite climbing community began to say publicly that what the pair had done was not actually called climbing. (但他们的成就并非没有争议:当这次攀登成为世界各地的头条新闻时,约塞米蒂攀岩社区的一些成员开始公开表示,这对父子的行为实际上不能称之为攀岩)”可知,一些成员对Joe和Sam的成就持怀疑态度。故选D项。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Reaching the top can not be so simple. The climbing takes many days, which means carrying up all necessary food, water and other heavy equipment. It also involves setting up and sleeping on a small platform that’s suspended (悬) thousands of feet in the air. The rock face is very exposed, a term (术语) used to describe a place that’s steep (陡峭的) and unprotected.(到达山顶并非易事。攀登需要很多天,这意味着要携带所有必要的食物、水和其他沉重的装备。还包括在数千英尺高空中的一个小平台上搭建并睡觉。岩壁“无保护”,这是一个用来描述一个陡峭且没有防护的地方的术语)”可知,攀登酋长岩并非易事,要面临诸多困难,由此推知,攀登酋长岩需要勇气。故选B项。

Museums are calls of history that go beyond time and space. They preserve valuable historical, educational treasures, and a platform for connecting the past, present and future. No wonder they have been attracting an increasing number of people of late, people who are eager to experience culture firsthand. To meet the personalized needs of visitors, some new methods, models and content have come out, leading to a rise in “museum tourism”.
Technologies like naked-eye 3D and XR glasses are becoming important for interaction(互动), in order to enrich museum visitors’ experience. In July, the Shandong Art Museum held the “Infinite Sea” immersive (沉浸式) AI digital art show, the first art show about the sea in China, to use a new AI-generated content model, offering an immersive experience.
Travel for young people is becoming increasingly personalized, as they focus not only the travel destination but also the purpose of the journey, making “why travel” more important than “where to travel”. For example, ideas such as “brave people enjoy the world first”, finding eye-catching exhibition(展品) in museums and taking “life photos” show that emotional satisfaction is becoming a key factor in making travel decisions.
The recent success of Black Myth: Wukong has led to a tourism fever, with visitors becoming the “chosen ones” and going on journeys through historical and cultural sites. The Datong Museum in Shanxi province has connected modernity with past, and art with history, creating many unique cultural products.
Some museums have begun experimenting with “digital-human” guides, to encourage the visitors to shift from passive listening to active interaction, thus adding a high-tech touch to cultural exchanges.
13. Why does the author mention the Shandong Art Museum in paragraph 2?
A. It is China’s first art show about the sea. B. It provides an interactive experience using AI.
C. It attracts visitors with valuable treasures. D. Its “Infinite Sea” show is a huge success.
14. What do young people value when traveling?
A. New technologies. B. Cultural value. C. Personal feelings. D. Popular destinations.
15. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A science report. B. A museum brochure. C. A popular magazine. D. A travel guidebook.
【答案】13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了博物馆旅游的发展和相关新技术的应用。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Technologies like naked-eye 3D and XR glasses are becoming important for interaction (互动), in order to enrich museum visitors’ experience. In July, the Shandong Art Museum held the ‘Infinite Sea’ immersive (沉浸式) AI digital art show, the first art show about the sea in China, to use a new AI-generated content model, offering an immersive experience.(为了丰富博物馆参观者的体验,裸眼3D和XR眼镜等技术对于互动变得越来越重要。7月,山东美术馆举办了‘无限之海’沉浸式AI数字艺术展,这是中国首个以海洋为主题的艺术展,采用了新的AI生成内容模型,提供沉浸式体验。)”可知,作者提到山东美术馆是为了说明它使用AI技术提供互动体验。故选B。

Not only does proper pronunciation require practice, it also requires patience. Slow down and learn how to make lip and tongue (舌头) movements correctly. When you speak, take the time to make sure you’re pronouncing words accurately.(新学习者犯的最大错误之一是更注重速度而不是准确性。正确的发音不仅需要练习,还需要耐心。慢下来,学习如何正确地移动嘴唇和舌头。当你说话的时候,花点时间确保你的发音准确)”可知,本段的主旨是注意发音的准确性,选项B“确保你发音准确无误”能够概括本段主旨,选项correctly对应后文accuracy。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文简要地叙述了贝多芬学习音乐、创作音乐的经历。
【36题详解】
考查动名词。句意:贝多芬被要求一小时又一小时地练习演奏不同的乐器。practice doing sth是固定搭配,意为“练习做某事”,用动名词作宾语。故填playing。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:每当他不用心练习时,他的父亲就会对他严格要求。be strict with sb.是固定短语,意为“对某人严格要求”。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:幸运的是,这个男孩非常喜欢音乐,而且学得很快,在他11岁的时候,他就可以在各地举办自己的音乐会了。fortunately“幸运的是”为副词作状语,修饰后面的句子;句首单词首字母大写。故填Fortunately。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:幸运的是,这个男孩非常喜欢音乐,而且学得很快,在他11岁的时候,他就可以在各地举办自己的音乐会了。可数名词concert在句中作宾语,结合句意,在各地举办音乐会,应用复数形式。故填 concerts。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:17岁时,他受到奥地利伟大作曲家莫扎特的高度赞扬。此处表示“一位伟大的奥地利作曲家”,为泛指,应用不定冠词来修饰,又因为great发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a限定。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:几年后,贝多芬去了维也纳,师从另一位伟大的奥地利作曲家海顿。根据句意,“(study) under Haydn”是“went to Vienna”的目的,用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to study。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:然后他写了很多音乐,即使是在他最困难的时候。write是句中谓语动词,与主语he之间是主动关系,句子讲述过去的事情,用一般过去时态。故填wrote。
【43题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:但在一次患病之后,他突然发现自己在31岁时失聪了。主语与宾语是同对象时,宾语用反身代词;句中主语he和宾语him都是指贝多芬,是同一人,用反身代词himself。故填 himself。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:令人惊讶的是,他在失聪后写下了一些他最好的作品,其中许多作品在全世界都很有名,很受欢迎。-ing形容amazing“令人惊讶的”通常用来修饰物,-ed形容词amazed“感到惊奇的”通常用来修饰人;本句的主语为形式主语it,真正的主语是从句“that he wrote some of his best pieces after he became deaf...”,应用-ing形容amazing表示这件事情“令人惊讶”。故填 amazing。
【45题详解】
考查关系代词。句意:令人惊讶是,他在失聪后写下了一些他最好的作品,其中许多作品在全世界都很有名,很受欢迎。分析句子可知,空格后为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词pieces,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作介词of后的宾语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。

It was a busy day for 20yearold Justin. His hot dog stand (货摊) in the park was crowded with customers. Suddenly, an old woman asked how much a hot dog was. “It depends on what you want, ma’ am. They cost from $3 to $7,” he replied.
“I was just curious about that. I don’t want any,” she said before walking away. Justin noticed she sat alone on a chair across from his stand. She kept looking in his direction, and he realized the old woman wanted a hot dog but couldn’t afford one. So he quickly made one and brought it to her. “I forgot to tell you that you’re our 50th customer of the day, so you can get a free hot dog!” he said smilingly.
“Oh, is that so?” the old lady asked. “Thank you. I’m Emily.” She tasted it and was shocked at how delicious it was. “It’s different from traditional hot dogs,” she said with joy. Justin replied, “I love cooking, so I keep trying different things with my food. I’m glad you like it! Have a wonderful day.” Then he hurried away.
The next day, when Emily returned to the park, Justin treated her to a hot dog again. Emily refused because she didn’t have money, but he insisted (坚持). “I am so happy that someone is trying my food, Emily. Your opinion matters to me,” Justin said. Though Emily was thankful for his offer, she told Justin it wasn’t necessary. But he kept doing that every day. Later when they chatted, Emily learned that Justin dreamed of expanding (扩大) his business and opening a cafe.
One day, Emily said to Justin, “I kept a count of the hot dogs you brought me, and you’ve already spent $ 100 on me. Now it’s my turn to help you, boy. Come with me.” Emily led Justin to an old building that looked like a deserted cafe. She explained that her husband owned it. After her husband died, Emily was in poor health and there was nobody to look after the cafe, so it closed down.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
“It’s now yours, Justin. This is your cafe,” Emily said.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“It’s now yours, Justin. This is your cafe,” Emily said. Justin looked at her with doubt. “My cafe? What do you mean?” he asked. “This house carries many beautiful memories, so I don’t want to sell it. I feel lucky to have met you. You are a kind kid and you deserve it,” Emily replied smilingly. She believed Justin would make good use of the house. Justin had tears in his eyes when he understood Emily’s words. He thanked Emily repeatedly for making his dream come true.
Over the next few weeks, Justin worked tirelessly to fix up the old cafe. Then he added his hot dogs to the menu and also used his creativity to experiment with other dishes. Business was slow in the beginning, but finally, word spread about the cafe. A lot of customers who used to love the cafe started showing up every day. They were moved by the story of Emily and Justin. Emily was also proud of what Justin had achieved. Gradually, the cafe became a symbol of hope and kindness in the community.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述Justin常免费请想吃热狗却没钱的Emily吃热狗,Emily得知他想开咖啡馆,便带他来到一座废弃咖啡馆,表示要送给他。
【详解】1. 段落续写:

Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
5. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ________.
A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn D. the elderly were free from suffering
6. According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?

7. How did Natalie help the survivors?
A. She gave her toys to other kids.
B. She took care of younger children.
C. She called on the White House to help.

The father of an 8-year-old boy says his son is now the youngest person to climb California’ s El Capitan. After four days of guided climbing, Joe Baker and his son Sam reached the top of the cliff (悬崖) face inside Yosemite National Park last week.
“We made it!” Joe said. “What an amazing week! I’m so proud of Sam. He completed the youngest rope climbing of El Capitan! In a few years he might be back breaking more records.”
Rock climbing has been a favorite pastime for the Baker family. Though Sam’s mother didn’t join the climbing, she is also a crazy climber. The family set up a website to record Sam’s adventures and collect money to make films that inspire parents to adventure with their kids. Sam began training at least 18 months ago and did well in a test run. They began the climbing on October 25 and reached the top on 28. They made the journey with the help of two guides.
But their achievement has not been without controversy (争议): as the climbing made headlines around the world, some members of the Yosemite climbing community began to say publicly that what the pair had done was not actually called climbing. The Bakers used a technique known as “jugging” which needs using handheld devices to slide up a fixed rope that’s been placed by a guide, without touching the rock face.
Reaching the top can not be so simple. The climbing takes many days, which means carrying up all necessary food, water and other heavy equipment. It also involves setting up and sleeping on a small platform that’s suspended (悬) thousands of feet in the air. The rock face is very exposed, a term (术语) used to describe a place that’s steep (陡峭的) and unprotected.
9. What do we know about Sam from the first two paragraphs?
A. He is the best climber in California.
B. He has been trained by his father.
C. He is the youngest climber reaching the top of El Capitan.
D. He is planning another mountain climbing with his father.
10. Why did the Bakers found a website?
A. To record their happy life.
B. To encourage families to experience adventures.
C. To show off Sam’s climbing experience.
D. To advise parents to climb El Capitan with their kids.
11. What’s some members’ attitude to the achievement of Joe and Sam in paragraph 4?
A. Supportive. B. Impressive. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
12. What can we learn about the climbing from the last paragraph?
A. It is challenging and fun. B. It needs some courage.
C. It requires high-tech equipment. D. It affects most climbers’ sleep.
D
Museums are calls of history that go beyond time and space. They preserve valuable historical, educational treasures, and a platform for connecting the past, present and future. No wonder they have been attracting an increasing number of people of late, people who are eager to experience culture firsthand. To meet the personalized needs of visitors, some new methods, models and content have come out, leading to a rise in “museum tourism”.
Technologies like naked-eye 3D and XR glasses are becoming important for interaction(互动), in order to enrich museum visitors’ experience. In July, the Shandong Art Museum held the “Infinite Sea” immersive (沉浸式) AI digital art show, the first art show about the sea in China, to use a new AI-generated content model, offering an immersive experience.
Travel for young people is becoming increasingly personalized, as they focus not only the travel destination but also the purpose of the journey, making “why travel” more important than “where to travel”. For example, ideas such as “brave people enjoy the world first”, finding eye-catching exhibition(展品) in museums and taking “life photos” show that emotional satisfaction is becoming a key factor in making travel decisions.
The recent success of Black Myth: Wukong has led to a tourism fever, with visitors becoming the “chosen ones” and going on journeys through historical and cultural sites. The Datong Museum in Shanxi province has connected modernity with past, and art with history, creating many unique cultural products.
Some museums have begun experimenting with “digital-human” guides, to encourage the visitors to shift from passive listening to active interaction, thus adding a high-tech touch to cultural exchanges.
13. Why does the author mention the Shandong Art Museum in paragraph 2?
A. It is China’s first art show about the sea. B. It provides an interactive experience using AI.
C. It attracts visitors with valuable treasures. D. Its “Infinite Sea” show is a huge success.
14. What do young people value when traveling?
A. New technologies. B. Cultural value. C. Personal feelings. D. Popular destinations.
15. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A science report. B. A museum brochure. C. A popular magazine. D. A travel guidebook.

After her husband died, Emily was in poor health and there was nobody to look after the cafe, so it closed down.

“It’s now yours, Justin. This is your cafe,” Emily said.
