The rejection letter from the city’s music school weighed heavily in Elsa’s pocket. At 19, her dream of becoming a concert pianist seemed broken. “Your style lacks classical discipline,” the letter read. That evening, she wandered to the family’s old barn, where moonlight streamed through cracked boards onto a dusty piano. Her fingers found Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude, each note reflecting her loneliness. Tears blurred the keys as she played — for the dreams buried under endless wheat fields.
The harvest festival brought unexpected change. Village children discovered Elsa’s piano, their curious fingers brushing the yellowed keys. “Make it sound like thunder!” a boy shouted. Hesitant at first, Elsa began mixing storm rhythms with insect sounds. Farmers paused their dancing, recognizing familiar sounds in the music. Grandma Marta sang an ancient folk tune, its melody weaving through Elsa’s chords. That night, she lay awake, realizing classical purity mattered less than heartfelt connection. It was a moment when she understood the true power of music was to touch people’s hearts in a way that resonated (共鸣) with their daily lives.
Months of experimentation brought results. Elsa’s video Songs from the Soil showed her rough hands dancing across the weathered piano, accompanied by field recordings. Urban music critics dismissed it as “agricultural noise”, but messages poured in. “You’ve given voice to our silent land,” wrote a farmer’s daughter. One teacher shared how Elsa’s music helped students appreciate rural life. It was as if Elsa had found a new language through her music, a language that could bridge the gap between the rural and the outside world.
The invitation to perform at the National Cultural Summit surprised her. Beneath crystal chandeliers (吊灯), Elsa’s modified piano used wheat seeds to make beats, creating rhythms that copied rain hitting dry soil. As the final sound ended, the cultural minister approached, “this isn’t just music — it’s the soul of our countryside.” Now teaching village children, Elsa smiles knowing true artistry grows where roots run deep.
4. What did Elsa realize during the harvest festival?
A. Classical music requires strict training. B. Music should connect with people’s lives.
C. Children dislike ancient instruments. D. Pianos need regular maintenance.
5. What is the urban music critics’ opinion on Elsa’s work?
A. They were open to new musical styles.
B. They were eager to promote rural music.
C. They failed to understand its deeper meaning.
D. They had a great appreciation for folk elements.
6. What is the main idea of the text?
A The importance of classical music training.
B. The role of music in agricultural development.
C. The conflict between urban and rural music styles.
D. The story of a pianist who found her unique artistic way.
7. Which best describes Elsa’s emotional change?
A. Shame → Pride. B. Confusion → Certainty.
C. Desperation → Satisfaction. D. Anger → Acceptance.
C
Research from the University of Sydney has brought to light the critical situation of Sydney’s koala population. In south-western Sydney, these koalas are part of the rare groups in New South Wales (NSW) that have so far escaped chlamydia. This highly infectious disease, which causes infertility, has dramatically decreased koala numbers in other eastern states of the continent.
Dr. Elspeth McLennan and Professor Carolyn Hogg from the University’s School of Environmental and Life Sciences led an in-depth analysis of these koalas. The results published in Conservation Genetics, paint a concerning picture. NSW Government staff collected tissue samples from 111 koalas across seven sites in south-western Sydney suburbs and Wingecarribee in the Southern Highlands. Genetic analysis revealed a high degree of interrelatedness and close-relative reproduction among Sydney’s koalas, along with alarmingly low genetic diversity.
Low genetic diversity restricts the population’s ability to adapt to changes, making them extremely subject to environmental threats and disease outbreaks. Dr. McLennan pointed out that, on average, koalas in Sydney are related as cousins or half-siblings. Their highly urbanized habitats limit their movement and reproduction with distant populations, delaying genetic diversity growth.
Adding to their woes, koalas from the chlamydia-affected Wollondilly Shire might migrate (迁徙) to Sydney's koala populations. Gene flow analysis shows movement between Wollondilly and Campbelltown, the southern-most chlamydia-free area. Dr. McLennan described it as a classic Catch-22. Wollondilly koalas could potentially boost genetic diversity in Sydney, but they may also introduce chlamydia. Given Sydney’s koalas’ low genetic variation, they might not be able to resist the disease if it spreads, leading to widespread infection and its severe consequences.
8. What makes Sydney’s koalas most likely environmentally threatened?
A. Their highly infectious nature. B. Their low genetic diversity.
C. Their in-ability to move around. D. Their preference for urban habitats.
9. The underlined word “woes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. blessing B. misfortune C. annoyance D. superiority
10. What is Dr. McLennan’s attitude to the potential migration to Sydney’s koala populations?
A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Contradictory. D. Indifferent.
11. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Decline of Koala Populations in Australia
B. Genetic Diversity Issues Among Sydney’s Koalas
C. The Importance of Genetic Diversity for Koalas
D. Sydney Koalas’ Genetic Diversity or Widespread Infection
D
A novel study by the research team at Mass General Brigham delved (深挖) deep into the complex connection between creativity and the architecture of the brain Their goal was to identify those parts of the brain that are crucial to human creativity and to find out the influences of brain injuries on these parts.
Through a careful examination of data gained from 857 individuals across 36 studies that employed a brain-scanning approach, the researchers discovered that creativity is not merely associated with one single region of the brain. Instead, it is closely linked to a specific network of brain connections. What came as a surprise was that individuals who had experienced brain problems or certain types of brain-related diseases, which affected these connections, appeared to exhibit enhanced creativity.
The research started with a comprehensive analysis of brain-scan data in an attempt to determine which parts of the brain become activated during creative activities such as drawing, writing stories, and composing music. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the data of patients whose creativity had undergone changes as a result of brain diseases. “Some people with brain diseases become more creative. Their brain damage patterns match our creativity-related network,” Kutsche, the leading researcher said.
An exceptionally fascinating finding was that the brain regions involved in creativity had an opposite correlation with a particular part of the brain that is responsible for overseeing and ensuring rules followed. A reduction in the activity of this part due to injuries might potentially be beneficial for creativity. This is because it could prevent the brain from being overly self-critical, thereby allowing ideas to flow more freely.
These findings are capable of explaining the situation where some brain-related diseases lead to a decrease in creativity, while others strangely result in an increase. Additionally, they might potentially open up a novel way for enhancing human creativity through brain stimulation. However, the researchers cautioned that these results do not cover all the brain connections relevant to creativity in that different parts of the brain are engaged in diverse creative tasks.
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To reveal the research outcomes. B. To introduce the research topic.
C. To describe the research procedures. D. To present the significance of the research.
13. What does the researchers’ discovery indicate about creativity?
A. Brain diseases never change it. B. It’s tied to a certain brain site.
C. It’s related to a special brain web. D. Injuries might negatively influence it.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The analysis of relevant data. B. The purpose of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The change of creative activities.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. More active rule-overseeing may help creativity.
B. Brain diseases can impact creativity positively.
C. Current brain-creativity research is sufficient.
D. Future research may focus on brain-stimulation for creativity.

At 7:30 a.m. on December 25th, Yvonne White got a call from an unknown number. “Hi. You don’t know me, but I have your brother,” said a shaky voice on the other end of the line. It was Sha Kyra Aughtry, a Buffalo resident who had rescued Yvonne’s brother, Joey White, in the deadly winter storm on the previous day.
Joey, then 64, is mentally disabled, Yvonne says. She had called him just before the storm hit, instructing him not to leave the group home where he lives. But Joey ventured outside. It’s unclear what time Joey left home or for what purpose, but Yvonne suspects he walked about 9 miles to North Park Theater, a single-screen cinema where he has worked since 1980. She believes he got scared and eventually decided to walk back home.
At around 6:30 a. m. on December 24th, Joey ended up in a snowbank directly outside Aughtry’s home, which in normal conditions is about a seven-minute drive from the theater. He was crying out in pain.
Aughtry went outside and found a stranger screaming and confused about where to go. She went into the storm with her boy-friend, and they carried Joey into their home. Joey had visible signs of severe frost-bite: His hands were severely swollen and covered in multicolored blisters (水泡). Aughtry used a hair dryer to skin off his clothing, which stuck tightly to his shaking body. She also cut off his frozen socks and removed the remains of a grocery store bag from Joey’s hands.
After about an hour of trying to warm him up, Aughtry called Yvonne. Joey had memorized his sister’s phone number. But Yvonne couldn’t leave her home because of the snow rather than stayed in constant communication from then on.
Despite all Aughtry had done to treat his wounds, Joey urgently needed medical attention. Getting help seemed impossible, though, with the roads covered with thick ice and snow.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

The rejection letter from the city’s music school weighed heavily in Elsa’s pocket. At 19, her dream of becoming a concert pianist seemed broken. “Your style lacks classical discipline,” the letter read. That evening, she wandered to the family’s old barn, where moonlight streamed through cracked boards onto a dusty piano. Her fingers found Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude, each note reflecting her loneliness. Tears blurred the keys as she played — for the dreams buried under endless wheat fields.
The harvest festival brought unexpected change. Village children discovered Elsa’s piano, their curious fingers brushing the yellowed keys. “Make it sound like thunder!” a boy shouted. Hesitant at first, Elsa began mixing storm rhythms with insect sounds. Farmers paused their dancing, recognizing familiar sounds in the music. Grandma Marta sang an ancient folk tune, its melody weaving through Elsa’s chords. That night, she lay awake, realizing classical purity mattered less than heartfelt connection. It was a moment when she understood the true power of music was to touch people’s hearts in a way that resonated (共鸣) with their daily lives.
Months of experimentation brought results. Elsa’s video Songs from the Soil showed her rough hands dancing across the weathered piano, accompanied by field recordings. Urban music critics dismissed it as “agricultural noise”, but messages poured in. “You’ve given voice to our silent land,” wrote a farmer’s daughter. One teacher shared how Elsa’s music helped students appreciate rural life. It was as if Elsa had found a new language through her music, a language that could bridge the gap between the rural and the outside world.
The invitation to perform at the National Cultural Summit surprised her. Beneath crystal chandeliers (吊灯), Elsa’s modified piano used wheat seeds to make beats, creating rhythms that copied rain hitting dry soil. As the final sound ended, the cultural minister approached, “this isn’t just music — it’s the soul of our countryside.” Now teaching village children, Elsa smiles knowing true artistry grows where roots run deep.
4. What did Elsa realize during the harvest festival?
A. Classical music requires strict training. B. Music should connect with people’s lives.
C. Children dislike ancient instruments. D. Pianos need regular maintenance.
5. What is the urban music critics’ opinion on Elsa’s work?
A. They were open to new musical styles.
B. They were eager to promote rural music.
C. They failed to understand its deeper meaning.
D. They had a great appreciation for folk elements.
6. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The importance of classical music training.
B. The role of music in agricultural development.
C. The conflict between urban and rural music styles.
D. The story of a pianist who found her unique artistic way.
7. Which best describes Elsa’s emotional change?
A. Shame → Pride. B. Confusion → Certainty.
C. Desperation → Satisfaction. D. Anger → Acceptance.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C

Research from the University of Sydney has brought to light the critical situation of Sydney’s koala population. In south-western Sydney, these koalas are part of the rare groups in New South Wales (NSW) that have so far escaped chlamydia. This highly infectious disease, which causes infertility, has dramatically decreased koala numbers in other eastern states of the continent.
Dr. Elspeth McLennan and Professor Carolyn Hogg from the University’s School of Environmental and Life Sciences led an in-depth analysis of these koalas. The results, published in Conservation Genetics, paint a concerning picture. NSW Government staff collected tissue samples from 111 koalas across seven sites in south-western Sydney suburbs and Wingecarribee in the Southern Highlands. Genetic analysis revealed a high degree of interrelatedness and close-relative reproduction among Sydney’s koalas, along with alarmingly low genetic diversity.
Low genetic diversity restricts the population’s ability to adapt to changes, making them extremely subject to environmental threats and disease outbreaks. Dr. McLennan pointed out that, on average, koalas in Sydney are related as cousins or half-siblings. Their highly urbanized habitats limit their movement and reproduction with distant populations, delaying genetic diversity growth.
Adding to their woes, koalas from the chlamydia-affected Wollondilly Shire might migrate (迁徙) to Sydney's koala populations. Gene flow analysis shows movement between Wollondilly and Campbelltown, the southern-most chlamydia-free area. Dr. McLennan described it as a classic Catch-22. Wollondilly koalas could potentially boost genetic diversity in Sydney, but they may also introduce chlamydia. Given Sydney’s koalas’ low genetic variation, they might not be able to resist the disease if it spreads, leading to widespread infection and its severe consequences.
8. What makes Sydney’s koalas most likely environmentally threatened?
A. Their highly infectious nature. B. Their low genetic diversity.
C. Their in-ability to move around. D. Their preference for urban habitats.
9. The underlined word “woes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. blessing B. misfortune C. annoyance D. superiority
10. What is Dr. McLennan’s attitude to the potential migration to Sydney’s koala populations?
A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Contradictory. D. Indifferent.
11. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Decline of Koala Populations in Australia
B. Genetic Diversity Issues Among Sydney’s Koalas
C. The Importance of Genetic Diversity for Koalas
D. Sydney Koalas’ Genetic Diversity or Widespread Infection
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了悉尼考拉的种群面临着衣原体疾病和基因多样性低的问题,以及这两个问题之间的矛盾关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Low genetic diversity restricts the population's ability to adapt to changes, making them extremely subject to environmental threats and disease outbreaks.(低遗传多样性限制了种群适应变化的能力,使得它们极易受到环境威胁和疾病暴发的影响)”可知,悉尼考拉最有可能受到环境威胁的原因是它们的低遗传多样性。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Low genetic diversity restricts the population’s ability to adapt to changes, making them extremely subject to environmental threats and disease outbreaks. Dr. McLennan pointed out that, on average, koalas in Sydney are related as cousins or half-siblings. Their highly urbanized habitats limit their movement and reproduction with distant populations, delaying genetic diversity growth.(遗传多样性低限制了考拉种群适应变化的能力,使它们极易受到环境威胁和疾病暴发的影响。麦克伦南博士指出,平均而言,悉尼的考拉之间的亲缘关系相当于表亲或同父异母(或同母异父)的兄弟姐妹。它们高度城市化的栖息地限制了它们与远距离种群的活动和繁殖,从而延缓了遗传多样性的增长)”以及划线单词后半句“koalas from the chlamydia-affected Wollondilly Shire might migrate (迁徙) to Sydney’s koala populations(来自受衣原体感染影响的沃伦迪利郡的考拉可能会迁徙到悉尼的考拉种群中)”可知,前面提到悉尼考拉面临基因多样性低的问题,后面又说受衣原体病影响地区的考拉可能会迁徙过来,带来衣原体病的风险,这对悉尼考拉来说是雪上加霜的事情,是不好的事情。woes意思是 “灾难,不幸”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Dr. McLennan described it as a classic Catch-22. Wollondilly koalas could potentially boost genetic diversity in Sydney, but they may also introduce chlamydia.(麦克伦南博士将其描述为一个典型的“第22条军规”式困境。沃伦迪利郡的考拉有可能提升悉尼地区考拉的基因多样性,但它们也可能会带来衣原体病菌)”可知,McLennan博士认为这是一个典型的两难境地。Wollondilly的考拉可能会增加悉尼考拉的遗传多样性,但它们也可能引入衣原体。这表明McLennan博士对考拉可能迁移到悉尼种群的态度是矛盾的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“Research from the University of Sydney has brought to light the critical situation of Sydney’s koala population. In south-western Sydney, these koalas are part of the rare groups in New South Wales (NSW) that have so far escaped chlamydia. This highly infectious disease, which causes infertility, has dramatically decreased koala numbers in other eastern states of the continent.(悉尼大学的一项研究揭示了悉尼考拉种群所处的严峻形势。在悉尼西南部,这些考拉属于新南威尔士州为数不多的、至今尚未感染衣原体的群体。这种传染性极强的疾病会导致不孕不育,已经使该大陆其他东部州的考拉数量急剧减少)”可知,文章围绕悉尼考拉展开,详细阐述了它们遗传多样性低的现状,以及来自其他地区的考拉可能带来遗传多样性提升但同时也可能引入衣原体疾病的情况,体现了在遗传多样性和疾病抵抗这两方面之间的艰难抉择。选项D“悉尼考拉的基因多样性还是广泛感染”准确地概括了文章的主题。故选D。

A novel study by the research team at Mass General Brigham delved (深挖) deep into the complex connection between creativity and the architecture of the brain. Their goal was to identify those parts of the brain that are crucial to human creativity and to find out the influences of brain injuries on these parts.
Through a careful examination of data gained from 857 individuals across 36 studies that employed a brain-scanning approach, the researchers discovered that creativity is not merely associated with one single region of the brain. Instead, it is closely linked to a specific network of brain connections. What came as a surprise was that individuals who had experienced brain problems or certain types of brain-related diseases, which affected these connections, appeared to exhibit enhanced creativity.
The research started with a comprehensive analysis of brain-scan data in an attempt to determine which parts of the brain become activated during creative activities such as drawing, writing stories, and composing music. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the data of patients whose creativity had undergone changes as a result of brain diseases. “Some people with brain diseases become more creative. Their brain damage patterns match our creativity-related network,” Kutsche, the leading researcher said.
An exceptionally fascinating finding was that the brain regions involved in creativity had an opposite correlation with a particular part of the brain that is responsible for overseeing and ensuring rules followed. A reduction in the activity of this part due to injuries might potentially be beneficial for creativity. This is because it could prevent the brain from being overly self-critical, thereby allowing ideas to flow more freely.
These findings are capable of explaining the situation where some brain-related diseases lead to a decrease in creativity, while others strangely result in an increase. Additionally, they might potentially open up a novel way for enhancing human creativity through brain stimulation. However, the researchers cautioned that these results do not cover all the brain connections relevant to creativity in that different parts of the brain are engaged in diverse creative tasks.
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To reveal the research outcomes. B. To introduce the research topic.
C. To describe the research procedures. D. To present the significance of the research.
13. What does the researchers’ discovery indicate about creativity?
A. Brain diseases never change it. B. It’s tied to a certain brain site.
C. It’s related to a special brain web. D. Injuries might negatively influence it.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The analysis of relevant data. B. The purpose of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The change of creative activities.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. More active rule-overseeing may help creativity.
B. Brain diseases can impact creativity positively.
C. Current brain-creativity research is sufficient.
D. Future research may focus on brain-stimulation for creativity.

Good morning! Today, I’d like to share my experience in protecting our community environment.
Last weekend, I joined a volunteer team to clean up the park. Upon arrival, we engaged in various activities. Some of us picked up litter, while others sorted the waste for recycling. After that, we handed out posters promoting eco-friendly practices. To our delight, many residents joined us. It was a physically demanding yet incredibly rewarding process.

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。
At 7:30 a.m. on December 25th, Yvonne White got a call from an unknown number. “Hi. You don’t know me, but I have your brother,” said a shaky voice on the other end of the line. It was Sha Kyra Aughtry, a Buffalo resident who had rescued Yvonne’s brother, Joey White, in the deadly winter storm on the previous day.
Joey, then 64, is mentally disabled, Yvonne says. She had called him just before the storm hit, instructing him not to leave the group home where he lives. But Joey ventured outside. It’s unclear what time Joey left home or for what purpose, but Yvonne suspects he walked about 9 miles to North Park Theater, a single-screen cinema where he has worked since 1980. She believes he got scared and eventually decided to walk back home.
At around 6:30 a. m. on December 24th, Joey ended up in a snowbank directly outside Aughtry’s home, which in normal conditions is about a seven-minute drive from the theater. He was crying out in pain.
Aughtry went outside and found a stranger screaming and confused about where to go. She went into the storm with her boy-friend, and they carried Joey into their home. Joey had visible signs of severe frost-bite: His hands were severely swollen and covered in multicolored blisters (水泡). Aughtry used a hair dryer to skin off his clothing, which stuck tightly to his shaking body. She also cut off his frozen socks and removed the remains of a grocery store bag from Joey’s hands.
After about an hour of trying to warm him up, Aughtry called Yvonne. Joey had memorized his sister’s phone number. But Yvonne couldn’t leave her home because of the snow rather than stayed in constant communication from then on.
Despite all Aughtry had done to treat his wounds, Joey urgently needed medical attention. Getting help seemed impossible, though, with the roads covered with thick ice and snow.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Aughtry posted a live video in a local Facebook group.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Aughtry accompanied him for the ride to the hospital.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Aughtry posted a live video in a local Facebook group. She explained his situation, including his disabilities, how he’d spent the previous night in the freezing cold, and where he was right then. Then she asked whether anyone was willing to risk their life to take Joey to Watertown, where the medical center lay. One of the people who saw her post was Karen, a retired nurse, who decided to drive them. She wasn’t scared. She had a four-wheel drive. So, she told Aughtry that she would take the man to the hospital.
Aaughtry accompanied him for the ride to the hospital. The rescue team sent Joey to the medical center, where the rest of the family got together. After he was treated, the family decided to have him stay at his sister’s home for a while. Yvonne said that Joey was grateful to Aughtry, and that he was recovering well at his sister’s, and he was doing better. Yvonne was so grateful for the people who were willing to help her brother, even though the conditions were so terrible.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一天早上,Aughtry发现一位老人在雪地里求救。Aughtry和她的男友把老人带回家,给老人取暖,清理老人的伤口并给老人的家人打电话的故事。
