They practice tai chi, sing opera, dance, and even play with swords. These activities are usually done outside and help them stay active and social. I think this is great and wish it would happen in the UK more often. My grandma lives in a nursing home in England. She plays bingo (宾果游戏) and sometimes listens to music, but she rarely does much outside or with others. This situation is usual for many of the UK’s elderly, as there isn’t a strong community that helps them stay socially active. There’s knitting (编织) and theater, but not much dancing in the parks or opera singing. Such outdoor group activities are just not part of the culture, and I think that’s a pity. In China, elderly people stay active and social, which is good for their health. It’s also very cheap. A professor (教授) from the University of Chicago said that dancing in parks became popular in China in the 1990s. It helped women stay healthy and make friends, which is important for fighting loneliness in old age. In the UK, many elderly people feel lonely. They don’t have many social activities, and this makes them feel isolated (孤独的). I hope the UK and other Western countries can learn from China. I want to see elderly people in the UK enjoying their later years, staying active, and being part of a healthy community. 31. How does the writer feel about elderly people’s activities in China? A. They are boring. B. They are fun and healthy. C. They cost too much money. D. They are only for young people. 32. Which fits the situation according to the text? ①_____ ②______ ③______ tai chi, opera, dancing knitting, theater bingo, music a. the writer’s grandma b. elderly people in China c. elderly people in UK A. ①-a, ②-b, ③-c B. ①-b, ②-a, ③-c C. ①-c, ②-b, ③-a D. ①-b, ②-c, ③-a 33. Why does the writer talk about the professor from the University of Chicago? A. To explain dancing in parks is new in China. B. To express elderly people in the UK hate dancing. C. To share Western countries have better activities. D. To help support the fact that activities help old people. 34. What is the writer’s wish? A. Elderly people in China can have more activities. B More professors can study the activities of the elderly. C. Elderly people in the UK can have more social activities. D. The UK and other Western countries can keep their own culture. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Elderly Activities: China vs. the UK B. Outdoor Fun for the Elderly Worldwide C. Loneliness Among the UK’s Elderly People D. How Tai Chi Helps the Elderly Stay Healthy 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了中国老年人通过户外活动保持健康和社交的积极现象，并对比了英国老年人因缺乏类似活动而感到孤独的现状，表达了作者希望英国等西方国家能借鉴中国经验，为老年人提供更多社交活动的愿望。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Living in China, I often see elderly people doing many fun activities... These activities are usually done outside and help them stay active and social.” 可知，作者认为中国老年人的活动 “有趣” 且 “有助于保持活力和社交”，即 “有趣且健康”。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。①tai chi, opera, dancing：根据 “elderly people in China” 段落中的 “They practice tai chi, sing opera, dance” 可知，这些是 中国老年人（b）的活动。② knitting, theater：根据 “UK’s elderly” 段落中的 “There’s knitting and theater” 可知，这些是英国老年人（c）的活动。③ bingo, music：根据 “My grandma lives in a nursing home in England. She plays bingo... sometimes listens to music” 可知，这些是作者的祖母（a）参与的活动。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据 “A professor from the University of Chicago said that dancing in parks... helped women stay healthy and make friends, which is important for fighting loneliness in old age.” 可知，引用教授的话是为了支持 “活动对老年人有帮助” 这一事实，说明中国老年人活动的积极意义。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据 “I hope the UK and other Western countries can learn from China. I want to see elderly people in the UK enjoying their later years, staying active, and being part of a healthy community.” 可知，作者希望英国老年人能有更多社交活动，改善孤独的现状。故选C。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。全文通过对比中国和英国老年人的活动情况，分析两国文化差异及活动对老年人健康的影响，核心围绕 “中英老年人活动对比” 展开，因此最佳标题为 “Elderly Activities: China vs. the UK”。故选A。 C It’s true: math is difficult. As a result, a lot of kids have problems learning math at some point in their lives. Use these tips and tricks to solve math problems more easily. Practice math in everyday situations. Make math part of your daily life so you can practice it naturally. For example, if a sweater that’s usually $38 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price? Use math in mind if you can. Doing math in your head can help you remember key concepts (概念). Some problems need a pencil and paper to get started; however, “+”, “一”, “×”, and “÷” are ones you can do in your head. If you come across an easy problem, do it in your mind first before turning to a calculator (计算器). Review (复习) math concepts every day. Practice makes perfect, and math is no exception. Set a study plan for yourself and try to review your math problems for 15 to 20 minutes per day. Your skills will build up over time, and you don’t need to try too hard! Teach a math problem or concept to someone else. Learning by teaching someone is a great way to review concepts. Invite a friend or family member. ________ If you can’t move on, review your notes or textbook again until you can explain it clearly.

They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态环境). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific study. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media (媒体) members. In 2007, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited Yongle Islands, part of Sansha. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded (保卫) the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. The careful management (管理) of the Xisha Islands limits (限制) tourism but gives job opportunities (机会) to local fishermen. 41. What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to? A. nice views B. the Xisha Islands C. many resources D. the South China Sea 42. What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ①The islands are far away. ②Not many people know the islands. ③ The ecosystem there is weak. ④ The islands are used for scientific study. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④ 43. What does the underlined word “released” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. looked for B. cut…down C. took care of D. let...go 44. What can we infer from the text now? A. Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B. Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C. More and more visitors come to Xisha Islands now. D. The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (1= Paragraph 1） A. B. C. D. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了西沙群岛的风貌及渔民的生活。 【41题详解】 词义指代题。根据第一段“The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them.”可知，西沙群岛位于南海西北部的西沙群岛，风景秀丽，资源丰富。小学课本上是这么描述的。故“them”指代“西沙群岛”。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态环境).”可知，因为这些都很远、生态环境脆弱，故而只有很少人参观西沙群岛。故选C。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“As for smaller fish, fishermen released them back into the sea.”可知，渔民把更小的鱼放回大海里。故划线单词“released”意为“释放，放生”。let...go与此意思相近。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games.”可知，渔民的家很舒适，岛上有蔬菜花园，晚饭后大家聚在一起玩游戏，故推测出渔民们在岛上享受着生活。故选B。 【45题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了小学课本上描述的西沙群岛，第二段介绍了现实生活中中国人对西沙群岛的认识；第三、四、五段分别描述了作者亲自去西沙群岛的所见所闻以及作者回忆有关岛的守护者的电影情节；最后一段总述政府对西沙群岛的管理认真和对当地渔民的工作扶持。故第一、二段为并列关系，总述了西沙群岛的面貌；第三、四、五段通过自身经历及间接经历来具体阐述西沙群岛上渔民的美好生活；最后一段总述。故选A。 第二部分 非选择题（共55分） 四、任务型阅读 阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格 (每空一词)。 Which animals are smart? Your answer may be dogs, monkeys, or elephants. Now, there is one more animal that can be added to the list: sheep. Scientists from Cambridge University said that people can educate sheep to identify (识别) familiar (熟悉的) human faces, the BBC reported. Before testing, scientists showed the sheep pictures of four famous people, like former US president Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens. Each screen showed a human face. One screen showed a famous person and the other screen showed a random (随机的) person. The sheep often walked toward the screen with the famous person’s face. After finding out the animals’ ability to identify famous people, researchers (研究人员) gave them a new task. They wanted to see if the farm animals could correctly identify the same people from different directions. The animals were still able to know them, though they were a bit slower than before. Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could identify their trainers. Photos of their trainers were randomly shown on screens along with a number of unfamiliar faces. This time, nobody taught the sheep first, but they picked out the photos very easily. The results show that the animals’ face-identification abilities are very close to those of monkeys and humans. Face identification is a difficult process. But sheep are very clever. When they see other sheep, they use this process to know one another.

Here is the result. Sleep Habits of Teenagers in 2025 Country Average Sleep Hours（Weekdays） Average Sleep Hours（Weekends） Top Sleep Distractions（分心） China 6.5 9.2 Homework（62%） USA 7.1 8.8 Social Media（55%） Japan 5.9 8.5 Online Games（48%） Germany 7.3 9.0 Part-time Jobs （30%） Additional Notes: ·60% of Chinese teens report feeling tired in class. ·The WHO recommends 8–10 hours of sleep for teenagers. 26.

They practice tai chi, sing opera, dance, and even play with swords. These activities are usually done outside and help them stay active and social. I think this is great and wish it would happen in the UK more often. My grandma lives in a nursing home in England. She plays bingo (宾果游戏) and sometimes listens to music, but she rarely does much outside or with others. This situation is usual for many of the UK’s elderly, as there isn’t a strong community that helps them stay socially active. There’s knitting (编织) and theater, but not much dancing in the parks or opera singing. Such outdoor group activities are just not part of the culture, and I think that’s a pity. In China, elderly people stay active and social, which is good for their health. It’s also very cheap. A professor (教授) from the University of Chicago said that dancing in parks became popular in China in the 1990s. It helped women stay healthy and make friends, which is important for fighting loneliness in old age. In the UK, many elderly people feel lonely. They don’t have many social activities, and this makes them feel isolated (孤独的). I hope the UK and other Western countries can learn from China. I want to see elderly people in the UK enjoying their later years, staying active, and being part of a healthy community. 31. How does the writer feel about elderly people’s activities in China? A. They are boring. B. They are fun and healthy. C. They cost too much money. D. They are only for young people. 32. Which fits the situation according to the text? ①_____ ②______ ③______ tai chi, opera, dancing knitting, theater bingo, music a. the writer’s grandma b. elderly people in China c. elderly people in UK A. ①-a, ②-b, ③-c B. ①-b, ②-a, ③-c C. ①-c, ②-b, ③-a D. ①-b, ②-c, ③-a 33. Why does the writer talk about the professor from the University of Chicago? A. To explain dancing in parks is new in China. B. To express elderly people in the UK hate dancing. C. To share Western countries have better activities. D. To help support the fact that activities help old people. 34. What is the writer’s wish? A. Elderly people in China can have more activities. B. More professors can study the activities of the elderly. C. Elderly people in the UK can have more social activities. D. The UK and other Western countries can keep their own culture. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Elderly Activities: China vs. the UK B. Outdoor Fun for the Elderly Worldwide C. Loneliness Among the UK’s Elderly People D. How Tai Chi Helps the Elderly Stay Healthy C It’s true: math is difficult. As a result, a lot of kids have problems learning math at some point in their lives. Use these tips and tricks to solve math problems more easily. Practice math in everyday situations. Make math part of your daily life so you can practice it naturally. For example, if a sweater that’s usually $38 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price? Use math in mind if you can. Doing math in your head can help you remember key concepts (概念). Some problems need a pencil and paper to get started; however, “+”, “一”, “×”, and “÷” are ones you can do in your head. If you come across an easy problem, do it in your mind first before turning to a calculator (计算器). Review (复习) math concepts every day. Practice makes perfect, and math is no exception. Set a study plan for yourself and try to review your math problems for 15 to 20 minutes per day. Your skills will build up over time, and you don’t need to try too hard! Teach a math problem or concept to someone else. Learning by teaching someone is a great way to review concepts. Invite a friend or family member. ________ If you can’t move on, review your notes or textbook again until you can explain it clearly. By building up your skills and practicing every day, you can make math easier and have a higher chance of success. 36. What is the answer to the question in Paragraph 2? A. 38×0.3=11.4 B. 38×0.3×2=22.8 C. 38× (1+0.3)=49.4 D. 38× (1-0.3)=26.6 37. Which of the following is a tip for remembering math concepts according to the text? A. Never use a calculator. B. Practice with a pencil and paper. C. Do math in your head when possible. D. Review math problems for hours each day. 38. What can we put in ________? A. They can make you feel better. B. They can teach you and give some advice. C. You need to talk to someone about your worries. D. Then explain to them what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. 39. Who may be interested in the text? A. Mike, a calculator maker. B. Lisa, a math competition leader. C. Mary a university teacher teaching math. D. Tom, a middle school student learning math. 40. What is the main idea of the text? A. Math concepts are hard to remember. B. Tips and tricks can help make math easier. C. Math is easy if you practice every day. D. Kids usually have problems learning math. D The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态环境). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific study. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media (媒体) members. In 2007, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited Yongle Islands, part of Sansha. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded (保卫) the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. The careful management (管理) of the Xisha Islands limits (限制) tourism but gives job opportunities (机会) to local fishermen. 41. What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to? A. nice views B. the Xisha Islands C. many resources D. the South China Sea 42. What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ①The islands are far away. ②Not many people know the islands. ③ The ecosystem there is weak. ④ The islands are used for scientific study. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④ 43. What does the underlined word “released” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. looked for B. cut…down C. took care of D. let...go 44. What can we infer from the text now? A. Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C. More and more visitors come to Xisha Islands now. D. The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (1= Paragraph 1） A. B. C. D. 第二部分 非选择题（共55分） 四、任务型阅读 阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格 (每空一词)。 Which animals are smart? Your answer may be dogs, monkeys, or elephants. Now, there is one more animal that can be added to the list: sheep. Scientists from Cambridge University said that people can educate sheep to identify (识别) familiar (熟悉的) human faces, the BBC reported. Before testing, scientists showed the sheep pictures of four famous people, like former US president Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens. Each screen showed a human face. One screen showed a famous person and the other screen showed a random (随机的) person. The sheep often walked toward the screen with the famous person’s face. After finding out the animals’ ability to identify famous people, researchers (研究人员) gave them a new task. They wanted to see if the farm animals could correctly identify the same people from different directions. The animals were still able to know them, though they were a bit slower than before. Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could identify their trainers. Photos of their trainers were randomly shown on screens along with a number of unfamiliar faces. This time, nobody taught the sheep first, but they picked out the photos very easily. The results show that the animals’ face-identification abilities are very close to those of monkeys and humans. Face identification is a difficult process. But sheep are very clever. When they see other sheep, they use this process to know one another. The researchers said it might be interesting in the future to find out if sheep can identify different facial expressions made by humans. Test report Researchers ___46___ from Cambridge University Subject Sheep on the ___47___ of the smart animals Process of testing ·Sheep saw pictures of famous people ___48___ as Barack Obama and Emma Watson. ·Then they were shown two screens with human ___49___, one famous, one random. ·Sheep were shown the same people from different directions. ·Sheep were shown the photos of their trainers ___50___ receiving any training first. ___51___ ·Sheep could identify famous faces. ·Sheep knew people’s faces even if you ___52___ the directions. ·It was very ___53___ for sheep to identify their trainers.
