B On the morning of November 13, a graceful violin melody flowed along the Qingdao seashore, blending (融合) perfectly with the rhythm of the ocean waves. The man playing the violin is Petar Kutin, a Bulgarian teaching music at Yew Chung International School of Qingdao. For Kutin, who has been extensively trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special charm. He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin blends his violin with the erhu, alongside the sounds of frogs and birds, creating a harmonious and moving composition. “I believe that music is an incredibly powerful language that brings people together.” Kutin said. At Yew Chung International School of Qingdao, this philosophy comes to life. To help his students with diverse backgrounds overcome cultural shock and quickly adapt to the Chinese environment, Kutin arranges music pieces tailored to their abilities. “When students perform together, it promotes teamwork and allows them to express both their cultural identity and individuality. Playing together builds confidence, happiness, and a sense of belonging. Music truly bonds the performers.” Kutin said. Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the lyrics of a song about frugality together with the students explaining what frugality means — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. In addition to his work at school, Kutin composes music for social causes. He has created several pieces to help people with mental disabilities relax and find comfort. “Music is constantly developing, and musicians must keep learning to grow.” he said. With a passion for creating and sharing, Kutin aims to promote deeper connections between people and cultures, contributing to a more harmonious and lively future through music. 4. What do we know about Kutin? A. He blends east and west in music. B. He received music education in China. C. He thinks nature is vital in Chinese music. D. He prefers Chinese music to Western music. 5 What is Kutin’s belief about music? A. Music enhances personal abilities. B. Music removes cultural differences. C. Music bears the magic to unite people. D. Music expresses the philosophy of life. 6. What can we learn from the example in paragraph 4? A. Kutin’s music is popular. B. Kutin’s music is emotional. C. Kutin’s music is instructive. D. Kutin’s music is traditional. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Song Of Nature B. A Rhyme Of Kindness C. A Tune Of Happiness D. A Symphony Of Harmony C We take our speech abilities for granted. Most people do not stop to think of how other animals and insects communicate with each other. Ants are amazing creatures that have a tireless work pattern and different social classes. To achieve this, they must have some ways of communicating with each other. Obviously, ants do not speak as we do, so how do they communicate? Ants communicate by giving off pheromones (信息素) marks that function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other. The best example that we can see very clearly is that ants find food sources and drop pheromones on their ways. By using their antennae to find pheromones marks and following a thorough pattern with one antenna on either side of the path, they can keep themselves on track. This allows other ants to follow the pheromones. The result of these pheromone marks is long lines of ants, marching one behind each other to collect food. The queen uses pheromones to signal. As the queen ages, she gives off pheromones that tell ant residents that she is dying. They begin feeding and preparing a pupa (蛹) to be the new queen. When ants greet each other with their antennae, they can tell whether the ants they meet are foes and prepare for what comes later, which might bring them an advantage or even a victory. Scientists are still trying to recognize which pheromones share this information. Ants also give off pheromones that identify the nest they belong to, and their social status. The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form shared memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators. 8. How could ants communicate according to the text? A. By attracting ants peers through sounds. B. By sending alarm signals to the queen. C. By tracking pheromones with antennae. D. By keeping themselves on the track. 9. What is the function of the pheromone marks? A. To spot the queen in the ant community. B. To help other ants find food sources. C. To keep the orders of the ant community. D. To enable ants to communicate with humans. 10. Which can probably replace the underlined word “foes” in paragraph 3? A. Enemies. B. Advantages. C. Residents. D. Friends. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Ants have no shared memories. B. Ants’ alarm-sounding ability is unique. C. Researchers have recognized the types of pheromones. D. More secrets on ants’ communication remain unknown. D What if there is no blood left in the bank when patients need an immediate transfusion (输血)? Scientists in Britain plan to become the first in the world to produce unlimited amounts of human blood from embryonic stem cells (胚胎干细胞) for emergency transfusions. A major research project is to be announced this week, which will end in three years with the first transfusions into human volunteers of man-made blood made from the stem cells of embryos. It could help to save the lives of anyone from the injured in traffic accidents to soldiers on a battlefield by completely changing the present blood transfusion services, which have to rely on humans to donate fresh blood. The project will be led by Professor Mare Turner of Edinburgh University, who has been involved in studies on how to ensure donated blood is safe. Researchers will est human embryos to find those that can develop into the “O-negative” blood — a universal blood group that can be transfused into almost anyone, making it quite unique compared to other blood types. It is expected that the “O-negative” blood can be produced in unlimited quantities in the future, so it is of great significance to ensure the blood free from viruses such as HIV and the human form of “mad cow” disease. The project was held up because of the difficulty of finding funding for research that attempts to take scientific studies in the lab into the earliest stages of commercial development. The Wellcome Trust, the world’s biggest medical research charity, has promised to cover the cost of the project, whose spokesman said that an announcement is likely to be made in the coming week. 12. What is the primary purpose of the project? A. To save the lives of the injured in accidents. B. To inspire more voluntary blood donation. C. To produce sufficient blood for emergencies. D. To improve the present blood transfusion services. 13. Why does the author mention Professor Marc Turner’s studies? A. To praise his great efforts to find funding for research. B. To show the importance of his role in the research. C. To speak highly of his achievements in the research. D. To illustrate the uniqueness of the “O-negative” blood. 14 What’s the next stage of the research? A. Producing the blood in unlimited quantities. B. Developing the blood for business purpose. C. Ensuring the blood free from deadly viruses. D. Making the blood offered to patients for free. 15. How does the writer sound in the text? A. Subjective. B. Unconcerned. C. Negative. D. Neutral. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For some, home is where the heart is.

The man playing the violin is Petar Kutin, a Bulgarian teaching music at Yew Chung International School of Qingdao. For Kutin, who has been extensively trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special charm. He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin blends his violin with the erhu, alongside the sounds of frogs and birds, creating a harmonious and moving composition. “I believe that music is an incredibly powerful language that brings people together.” Kutin said. At Yew Chung International School of Qingdao, this philosophy comes to life. To help his students with diverse backgrounds overcome cultural shock and quickly adapt to the Chinese environment, Kutin arranges music pieces tailored to their abilities. “When students perform together, it promotes teamwork and allows them to express both their cultural identity and individuality. Playing together builds confidence, happiness, and a sense of belonging. Music truly bonds the performers.” Kutin said. Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the lyrics of a song about frugality together with the students, explaining what frugality means — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. In addition to his work at school, Kutin composes music for social causes. He has created several pieces to help people with mental disabilities relax and find comfort. “Music is constantly developing, and musicians must keep learning to grow.” he said. With a passion for creating and sharing, Kutin aims to promote deeper connections between people and cultures, contributing to a more harmonious and lively future through music. 4. What do we know about Kutin? A. He blends east and west in music. B. He received music education in China. C. He thinks nature is vital in Chinese music. D. He prefers Chinese music to Western music. 5. What is Kutin’s belief about music? A. Music enhances personal abilities. B. Music removes cultural differences. C. Music bears the magic to unite people. D. Music expresses the philosophy of life. 6. What can we learn from the example in paragraph 4? A. Kutin’s music is popular. B. Kutin’s music is emotional. C. Kutin’s music is instructive. D. Kutin’s music is traditional. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Song Of Nature B. A Rhyme Of Kindness C. A Tune Of Happiness D. A Symphony Of Harmony 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐教师Petar Kutin的音乐理念与实践。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. (他巧妙地结合了中西音乐元素，并与中国音乐家合作创作原创作品)”可知，Kutin在音乐中融合了东西方元素。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“I believe that music is an incredibly powerful language that brings people together. (我相信音乐是一种极具力量的语言，能够将人们团结在一起)”可知，Kutin认为音乐具有将人们团结在一起的魔力。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the lyrics of a song about frugality together with the students, explaining what frugality mean — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. (Kutin还通过音乐向学生传递有意义的信息。他和学生们一起创作了一首关于节俭的歌曲的歌词，向学生们解释节俭的含义 ——重复使用物品，而不是随意丢弃，避免浪费。他们把这个理念变成了一首歌，然后又制作成了一个音乐视频，几乎每周都会播放)”可知，这个例子表明Kutin的音乐具有教育意义，能够传递有意义的信息。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“For Kutin, who has been extensively trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special charm. He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin blends his violin with the erhu, alongside the sounds of frogs and birds, creating a harmonious and moving composition. (对于接受过广泛西方音乐训练的库廷来说，中国音乐有着独特的魅力。他巧妙地将中西方音乐元素融合在一起，并与中国音乐家合作创作原创作品。在他的最新作品之一中，库廷将小提琴声与二胡声相融合，再配上蛙鸣和鸟鸣，创作出了一首和谐动人的乐曲)”可知，文章主要讲述了音乐教师Petar Kutin如何通过音乐促进不同文化背景的人们之间的连接，创造和谐的社会氛围。他不仅在学校教授音乐，还通过音乐传递节俭等有意义的信息，并为社会公益事业创作音乐。因此，D项“A Symphony Of Harmony (和谐的交响乐)”最符合文章主旨，既体现了Kutin的音乐理念，也概括了他在音乐方面的实践。故选D。 C We take our speech abilities for granted. Most people do not stop to think of how other animals and insects communicate with each other. Ants are amazing creatures that have a tireless work pattern and different social classes. To achieve this, they must have some ways of communicating with each other. Obviously, ants do not speak as we do, so how do they communicate? Ants communicate by giving off pheromones (信息素) marks that function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other. The best example that we can see very clearly is that ants find food sources and drop pheromones on their ways. By using their antennae to find pheromones marks and following a thorough pattern with one antenna on either side of the path, they can keep themselves on track. This allows other ants to follow the pheromones. The result of these pheromone marks is long lines of ants, marching one behind each other to collect food. The queen uses pheromones to signal. As the queen ages, she gives off pheromones that tell ant residents that she is dying. They begin feeding and preparing a pupa (蛹) to be the new queen. When ants greet each other with their antennae, they can tell whether the ants they meet are foes and prepare for what comes later, which might bring them an advantage or even a victory. Scientists are still trying to recognize which pheromones share this information. Ants also give off pheromones that identify the nest they belong to, and their social status. The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form shared memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators. 8. How could ants communicate according to the text? A. By attracting ants peers through sounds. B. By sending alarm signals to the queen. C. By tracking pheromones with antennae. D. By keeping themselves on the track. 9. What is the function of the pheromone marks? A. To spot the queen in the ant community. B. To help other ants find food sources. C. To keep the orders of the ant community. D. To enable ants to communicate with humans. 10. Which can probably replace the underlined word “foes” in paragraph 3? A. Enemies. B. Advantages. C Residents. D. Friends. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Ants have no shared memories. B. Ants’ alarm-sounding ability is unique. C. Researchers have recognized the types of pheromones. D. More secrets on ants’ communication remain unknown. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了蚂蚁如何通过释放信息素和使用触角进行交流，以及科学家对此的研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Ants communicate by releasing pheromones (信息素) that function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other.(蚂蚁通过释放体外起作用的信息素来向接收信息的蚂蚁发送化学信息，并通过触摸它们的触角来感觉和闻对方的味道进行交流)”可知，蚂蚁通过触角识别信息素来交流。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The result of these pheromone paths is long lines of ants, marching one behind each other to collect food.(这些信息素路径的结果是长长的蚂蚁队伍，它们一个接一个地行进去收集食物)”可知，信息素轨迹的功能是帮助同伴找到食物来源。故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“When ants greet each other with their antennae, they can tell whether the ants they meet are foes and prepare for what comes later, which might bring them an advantage or even a victory(当蚂蚁用触角相互问候时，它们能分辨出遇到的蚂蚁是foes还是其他情况，并为接下来可能带来优势甚至胜利的情况做好准备)”可知，这里 “foes”与“prepare for what comes later, which might bring them an advantage or even a victory”相呼应，可推测出“foes”是“敌人” 的意思。故选 A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form collective memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators.(研究人员对蚂蚁的研究越多，他们就越能发现蚂蚁相互传递信息、学习、形成集体记忆和发出警报的能力。蚂蚁真是令人惊叹的交流者)”可推知，蚂蚁交流的更多秘密仍然未知。故选D。 D What if there is no blood left in the bank when patients need an immediate transfusion (输血)? Scientists in Britain plan to become the first in the world to produce unlimited amounts of human blood from embryonic stem cells (胚胎干细胞) for emergency transfusions. A major research project is to be announced this week, which will end in three years with the first transfusions into human volunteers of man-made blood made from the stem cells of embryos. It could help to save the lives of anyone from the injured in traffic accidents to soldiers on a battlefield by completely changing the present blood transfusion services, which have to rely on humans to donate fresh blood. The project will be led by Professor Mare Turner of Edinburgh University, who has been involved in studies on how to ensure donated blood is safe. Researchers will est human embryos to find those that can develop into the “O-negative” blood — a universal blood group that can be transfused into almost anyone, making it quite unique compared to other blood types. It is expected that the “O-negative” blood can be produced in unlimited quantities in the future, so it is of great significance to ensure the blood free from viruses such as HIV and the human form of “mad cow” disease. The project was held up because of the difficulty of finding funding for research that attempts to take scientific studies in the lab into the earliest stages of commercial development. The Wellcome Trust, the world’s biggest medical research charity, has promised to cover the cost of the project, whose spokesman said that an announcement is likely to be made in the coming week. 12. What is the primary purpose of the project? A. To save the lives of the injured in accidents. B. To inspire more voluntary blood donation. C. To produce sufficient blood for emergencies. D. To improve the present blood transfusion services. 13. Why does the author mention Professor Marc Turner’s studies? A. To praise his great efforts to find funding for research. B. To show the importance of his role in the research. C. To speak highly of his achievements in the research. D. To illustrate the uniqueness of the “O-negative” blood. 14. What’s the next stage of the research? A. Producing the blood in unlimited quantities. B. Developing the blood for business purpose. C. Ensuring the blood free from deadly viruses. D. Making the blood offered to patients for free. 15. How does the writer sound in the text? A. Subjective. B. Unconcerned. C. Negative. D. Neutral. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国科学家计划用胚胎干细胞生产无限量人造血用于紧急输血的项目。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists in Britain plan to become the first in the world to produce unlimited amounts of human blood from embryonic stem cells (胚胎干细胞) for emergency transfusions.(英国的科学家们计划成为世界上首个从胚胎干细胞中生产出无限量人类血液以用于紧急输血的团队)”可知，该项目的主要目的是为紧急情况生产足够的血液。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The project will be led by Professor Mare Turner of Edinburgh University, who has been involved in studies on how to ensure donated blood is safe.(该项目将由爱丁堡大学的马克・特纳教授领导，他一直参与关于如何确保献血安全的研究)”可推知，作者提及马克・特纳教授的研究，是为了表明他在此次研究中因具备相关经验而起到的重要作用。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The project was held up because of the difficulty of finding funding for research that attempts to take scientific studies in the lab into the earliest stages of commercial development. The Wellcome Trust, the world’s biggest medical research charity, has promised to cover the cost of the project, whose spokesman said that an announcement is likely to be made in the coming week.(由于难以为试图将实验室的科学研究带入商业发展的最初阶段的研究寻找资金，该项目被搁置了。世界上最大的医学研究慈善机构威康基金会（Wellcome Trust）已承诺支付该项目的费用，其发言人表示，可能会在下周宣布)”可知，之前项目因资金问题无法进入商业开发阶段，现在资金有了着落。由此推知，接下来的阶段很可能是将研究成果用于商业目的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“What if there is no blood left in the bank when patients need an immediate transfusion(输血)? Scientists in Britain plan to become the first in the world to produce unlimited amounts of human blood from embryonic stem cells (胚胎干细胞) for emergency transfusions.(如果病人需要紧急输血时血库没有血了怎么办?英国科学家计划成为世界上第一个用胚胎干细胞生产无限量人类血液用于紧急输血的人)”和第二段中“A major research project is to be announced this week, which will end in three years with the first transfusions into human volunteers of man-made blood made from the stem cells of embryos. (本周将宣布一个重大研究项目，该项目将在三年后结束，届时将首次向人类志愿者输入由胚胎干细胞制成的人造血液)”等内容可知，全文客观陈述人造血液项目的背景、目标、研究进展及优势，未掺杂主观情感评价。由此推知，作者是中立的语气。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For some, home is where the heart is.
