In 2020, explorer Shears received enough funding for a search for Captain Shackleton’s lost ship the Endurance. Partnering with engineer Vincent, who has helped locate hundreds of sunken ships, the team studied past failures and finally chose firm underwater vehicles for the search. Vincent noted they needed tools for extreme conditions, which can be compared to mountain-ready trucks. So Hugin 6000 came into their view for the first time. It is an effective subsea vehicle, which had been highly praised in this field.
However, their first attempt faced an immediate challenge. Hugin 6000’s major failure alarm sounded in the extreme cold. Vincent used a retired winch (绞车) with a heater over to lengthen Hugin 6000’s battery (电池) life. This simple solution finally allowed for deep-sea searches.
During deep-sea search, they found the original location marks had mistakes. Fortunately, Frank, an astronomer of the team, used the team’s star observations to correct the location. With the updated location marks, the team narrowed the search area. Still, the moving ice made even this smaller zone difficult to explore.
After weeks of disappointment, hope arrived on March 5,2022. They captured a sonar (声呐) image of the Endurance’s pole from the vehicle’s sensors. “I want to see the ship with the camera!” Vincent shouted with excitement. After many attempts, they eventually took a clear picture of the boat with a camera. They found the Endurance in excellent condition after being underwater for 106 years.
Shears, who was normally quiet and serious, excitedly hugged Vincent to celebrate their success. The amazing discovery happened exactly 100 years after Shackleton died, perfectly matching his famous saying “Hang in there, and we will achieve victory.”
4. What can we know about the Hugin 6000?
A. It had just come into the market.
B. It could work well in tough conditions.
C. It was designed for mountain climbing.
D. It had been developed by the team.
5. How did they solve the equipment problem?
A. Buying newer robots. B. Using an old winch.
C. Upgrading its heater. D. Turning to powerful batteries.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. New challenges caused by moving ice.
B. Ways to explore icy regions effectively.
C. Technical problems in locating the ship.
D. Efforts and challenges in searching for the ship.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Never Give up: Finding a Lost Ship.
B. Captain Shackleton: A Great Explorer.
C. Solving Antarctica’s Weather Problems.
D. Modern Tools for Ocean Exploration.

Two years ago, UNESCO formally recognized Jingmai Mountain as a World Heritage site, an honor for places that provide unique cultural value. It is the only site related to tea cultivation (种植).
During the second half of the 20th century, China’s focus on mass production from high-yield, large terrace plantations left little room for the old tea trees. Fortunately, the remote location of Jingmai helped protect the original farming methods of Jingmai’s tea. Unlike those mass-produced tea trees, the Jingmai’s tea trees grow in Jingmai Mountain forests. Situated 4,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level, Jingmai’s tea forests benefit from cool temperatures that allow tea trees to develop leaves with unique flavors.
Jingmai’s closely managed lands may be in contrast to terraced tea plantations seen throughout the world. High trees there provides shelter for tea plants that grow best in shade. The tea plant areas are also divided into different parts, stopping the spread of diseases.
While growers across other Yunnan tea mountains cut their ancient tea trees to plant younger, more productive trees, the locals of Jingmai have been protecting their living treasure. They believe that everything has a soul, a reminder to leave nature undisturbed, so they avoid pesticides (农药). They cut grass between the trees only twice a year and with knives.
A recent study by Minzu University of China found that tea produced from the mountain’s trees was less bitter than tea from trees planted at lower altitude. And the natural farming methods support a significantly higher biodiversity than common tea gardens. Jingmai tea’s present price is about 6.5 times higher than that of typical plantations.
Now our government and local people protect both the ancient trees and the cultural traditions surrounding them, making sure these living tea museums continue for future generations.
8. What is special about Jingmai’s tea trees?
A. They use chemical products.
B. They grow naturally in forests.
C. They produce low-quality tea leaves.
D. They grow fast due to warm weather.
9. What mainly contributes to the unique flavour of Jingmai’s tea?
A. The high location of the tea trees.
B. The shade provided by high trees in the forest.
C. The development of Chinese industrial farming.
D. The practice to leave the original tea trees undisturbed.
10. How does the method of dividing areas help the tea trees?
A. By providing much shelter.
B. By allowing more plants to grow.
C. By preventing diseases from spreading.
D. By helping tourists walk between plants.
11. Why does the the author mention Minzu University’s study?
A. To drive up the high price of Jingmai’s tea.
B. To explain the process of planting Jingmai’s tea.
C. To highlight the marketing plans of Jingmai’s tea.
D. To show the advantages of the Jingmai’s tea trees.
D
Greenland sharks are believed to live for around 400 years. Normally, an animal can’t grow so old. Over time, falling bodily functions and illnesses like cancer come up and cause damage. Yet the Greenland shark seems to disobey this pattern.
In 2021, Arne Sahm, a bioinformatician, decided to find out reasons for the sharks’ long life. Arne Sahm’s team acquired DNA from the samples (样本) of sharks caught by fishers in the southern bays of Greenland. They published their findings in September.
One element that stood out was a high amount of “jumping genes”. Most organisms, including humans, have “jumping genes”: genes that copy themselves into a new section of a genetic chain. They can introduce genetic diversity, but can also be harmful. If DNA is left damaged, “jumping genes” can contribute to problems within cells, including cancer. But these “jumping genes” might play a more beneficial role in the Greenland shark, creating additional helpful genes, which could slow down aging. Researchers think the better a genome (基因组) is maintained, the longer lifespan an organism could have.
A gene called TP53 also caught the teams’ attention. Seen as the “guardian of the genome”, TP53 is vital for cancer prevention. Many animals have it, including humans. TP53 contains instructions for the protein p53, which helps in tumor suppression (肿瘤抑制) and DNA repair. P53 works by either stopping cells with damaged DNA from dividing further until it’s repaired, or causing them to die. In Greenland sharks, a part of its TP53 gene chain is different from how it typically functions in other animals. Using an AI model, the researchers predicted it could impact p53’s structure and how it handles DNA repair, possibly leading to a longer life.
More studies are needed to confirm the function of the proteins (蛋白质) found in the Greenland shark’s genome. Looking at gene expression would be one next step.
12. How did Arne Sahm’s team conduct their research on Greenland sharks?
A. By observing sharks in the wild.
B. By tracking sharks with sensors.
C. By analyzing genes from shark samples.
D. By testing sharks’ survival ability in labs.
13. What can be inferred (推断) about “jumping genes” in Greenland sharks?
A. They are unique to Greenland sharks.
B. They always limit genetic differences.
C. They can copy themselves to be better genes.
D. They may help live longer by adding beneficial genes.
14. What helps Greenland sharks live longer than other animals according to paragraph 4?
A. Their cells divide much faster than in other animals.
B. Their different TP53 gene might help repair DNA better.
C. Their TP53 gene’s poor function causes faster cell growth.
D. They don’t have the p53 protein that controls cell division.
15. How is the passage organized?
A. B. C. D.

Yesterday afternoon, students rushed out of the school gate and greatly rejoiced (高兴) at the arrival of Christmas holiday. They gathered at the flower store to buy flowers for their friends or relatives with pocket money. Opposite the door of the store stood a very small boy named Jim. His face was dirty, with one arm resting against the wall, and his head supported on it, crying sadly. Two or three of the girls came to Jim and asked, “What is the matter that you cry like this?” But he made no reply. Soon many children gathered there out of curiosity.
“Come, tell us what is the matter with you and why you are crying,” one girl repeated softly. And then Jim lifted his face from his arm and said through his tears that he had lost the twenty dollars his parents had given him to buy presents for his grandmother who lived in a nursing home. It had escaped through a hole in his pocket and he showed the hole to them. Jim didn’t want to go home because he was afraid of disappointing his parents. They lived a poor life, and that money meant a lot to them. Saying that, Jim again dropped his head upon his arms and cried in deep sadness.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为80左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The children felt sorry for Jim and tried to find a way to help him out.

In 2020, explorer Shears received enough funding for a search for Captain Shackleton’s lost ship the Endurance. Partnering with engineer Vincent, who has helped locate hundreds of sunken ships, the team studied past failures and finally chose firm underwater vehicles for the search. Vincent noted they needed tools for extreme conditions, which can be compared to mountain-ready trucks. So Hugin 6000 came into their view for the first time. It is an effective subsea vehicle, which had been highly praised in this field.
However, their first attempt faced an immediate challenge. Hugin 6000’s major failure alarm sounded in the extreme cold. Vincent used a retired winch (绞车) with a heater over to lengthen Hugin 6000’s battery (电池) life. This simple solution finally allowed for deep-sea searches.
During deep-sea search, they found the original location marks had mistakes. Fortunately, Frank, an astronomer of the team, used the team’s star observations to correct the location. With the updated location marks, the team narrowed the search area. Still, the moving ice made even this smaller zone difficult to explore.
After weeks of disappointment, hope arrived on March 5,2022. They captured a sonar (声呐) image of the Endurance’s pole from the vehicle’s sensors. “I want to see the ship with the camera!” Vincent shouted with excitement. After many attempts, they eventually took a clear picture of the boat with a camera. They found the Endurance in excellent condition after being underwater for 106 years.
Shears, who was normally quiet and serious, excitedly hugged Vincent to celebrate their success. The amazing discovery happened exactly 100 years after Shackleton died, perfectly matching his famous saying “Hang in there, and we will achieve victory.”
4. What can we know about the Hugin 6000?
A. It had just come into the market.
B. It could work well in tough conditions.
C. It was designed for mountain climbing.
D. It had been developed by the team.
5. How did they solve the equipment problem?
A. Buying newer robots. B. Using an old winch.
C. Upgrading its heater. D. Turning to powerful batteries.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. New challenges caused by moving ice.
B. Ways to explore icy regions effectively.
C. Technical problems in locating the ship.
D. Efforts and challenges in searching for the ship.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Two years ago, UNESCO formally recognized Jingmai Mountain as a World Heritage site, an honor for places that provide unique cultural value. It is the only site related to tea cultivation (种植).
During the second half of the 20th century, China’s focus on mass production from high-yield, large terrace plantations left little room for the old tea trees. Fortunately, the remote location of Jingmai helped protect the original farming methods of Jingmai’s tea. Unlike those mass-produced tea trees, the Jingmai’s tea trees grow in Jingmai Mountain forests. Situated 4,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level, Jingmai’s tea forests benefit from cool temperatures that allow tea trees to develop leaves with unique flavors.
Jingmai’s closely managed lands may be in contrast to terraced tea plantations seen throughout the world. High trees there provides shelter for tea plants that grow best in shade. The tea plant areas are also divided into different parts, stopping the spread of diseases.
While growers across other Yunnan tea mountains cut their ancient tea trees to plant younger, more productive trees, the locals of Jingmai have been protecting their living treasure. They believe that everything has a soul, a reminder to leave nature undisturbed, so they avoid pesticides (农药). They cut grass between the trees only twice a year and with knives.
A recent study by Minzu University of China found that tea produced from the mountain’s trees was less bitter than tea from trees planted at lower altitude. And the natural farming methods support a significantly higher biodiversity than common tea gardens. Jingmai tea’s present price is about 6.5 times higher than that of typical plantations.
Now our government and local people protect both the ancient trees and the cultural traditions surrounding them, making sure these living tea museums continue for future generations.
8. What is special about Jingmai’s tea trees?
A. They use chemical products.
B. They grow naturally in forests.
C. They produce low-quality tea leaves.
D. They grow fast due to warm weather.
9. What mainly contributes to the unique flavour of Jingmai’s tea?
A. The high location of the tea trees.
B. The shade provided by high trees in the forest.
C. The development of Chinese industrial farming.
D. The practice to leave the original tea trees undisturbed.
10. How does the method of dividing areas help the tea trees?
A. By providing much shelter.
B. By allowing more plants to grow.
C. By preventing diseases from spreading.
D. By helping tourists walk between plants.
11. Why does the the author mention Minzu University’s study?
A. To drive up the high price of Jingmai’s tea.
B. To explain the process of planting Jingmai’s tea.
C. To highlight the marketing plans of Jingmai’s tea.
D. To show the advantages of the Jingmai’s tea trees.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D

Greenland sharks are believed to live for around 400 years. Normally, an animal can’t grow so old. Over time, falling bodily functions and illnesses like cancer come up and cause damage. Yet the Greenland shark seems to disobey this pattern.
In 2021, Arne Sahm, a bioinformatician, decided to find out reasons for the sharks’ long life. Arne Sahm’s team acquired DNA from the samples (样本) of sharks caught by fishers in the southern bays of Greenland. They published their findings in September.
One element that stood out was a high amount of “jumping genes”. Most organisms, including humans, have “jumping genes”: genes that copy themselves into a new section of a genetic chain. They can introduce genetic diversity, but can also be harmful. If DNA is left damaged, “jumping genes” can contribute to problems within cells, including cancer. But these “jumping genes” might play a more beneficial role in the Greenland shark, creating additional helpful genes, which could slow down aging. Researchers think the better a genome (基因组) is maintained, the longer lifespan an organism could have.
A gene called TP53 also caught the teams’ attention. Seen as the “guardian of the genome”, TP53 is vital for cancer prevention. Many animals have it, including humans. TP53 contains instructions for the protein p53, which helps in tumor suppression (肿瘤抑制) and DNA repair. P53 works by either stopping cells with damaged DNA from dividing further until it’s repaired, or causing them to die. In Greenland sharks, a part of its TP53 gene chain is different from how it typically functions in other animals. Using an AI model, the researchers predicted it could impact p53’s structure and how it handles DNA repair, possibly leading to a longer life.
More studies are needed to confirm the function of the proteins (蛋白质) found in the Greenland shark’s genome. Looking at gene expression would be one next step.
12. How did Arne Sahm’s team conduct their research on Greenland sharks?
A. By observing sharks in the wild.
B. By tracking sharks with sensors.
C. By analyzing genes from shark samples.
D. By testing sharks’ survival ability in labs.
13. What can be inferred (推断) about “jumping genes” in Greenland sharks?
A. They are unique to Greenland sharks.
B. They always limit genetic differences.
C. They can copy themselves to be better genes.
D. They may help live longer by adding beneficial genes.
14. What helps Greenland sharks live longer than other animals according to paragraph 4?
A. Their cells divide much faster than in other animals.
B. Their different TP53 gene might help repair DNA better.
C. Their TP53 gene’s poor function causes faster cell growth.
D. They don’t have the p53 protein that controls cell division.
15. How is the passage organized?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In Greenland sharks, a part of its TP53 gene chain is different from how it typically functions in other animals. Using an AI model, the researchers predicted it could impact p53’s structure and how it handles DNA repair, possibly leading to a longer life.(在格陵兰鲨鱼中,TP53基因链的一部分与其他动物的典型功能不同。研究人员利用人工智能模型预测,它可能会影响p53的结构及其处理DNA修复的方式,从而可能导致更长的寿命)”可知,格陵兰鲨鱼不同的TP53基因可能有助于更好地修复DNA,从而帮助格陵兰鲨比其他动物活得更久。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章第一段中提出格陵兰鲨鱼长寿现象;第二段介绍了生物信息学家Arne Sahm的研究和研究方法;第三段中“One element that stood out was a high amount of ‘jumping genes’.(其中一个突出的因素是大量的‘跳跃基因’)”和第四段中“A gene called TP53 also caught the teams’ attention.(一种叫做TP53的基因也引起了研究小组的注意)”分别介绍了研究发现格陵兰鲨鱼体内的“跳跃基因”和TP53基因可能帮助格陵兰鲨鱼活得更久,这两段是并列关系;第五段介绍了下一步研究方向。这种结构符合B项的模式。故选B项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:周六,来自纽约和北京六所学校的近300名儿童聚集在中国驻纽约总领事馆,参加“相互了解,建立更紧密的联系,携手合作”特别活动,以促进两国的艺术交流。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,advance和逻辑前面整句话为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填advancing。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:北京学生金帆艺术团由来自北京海淀区和西城区十几所学校的学生组成,整个星期,他们在纽约的日程都排得满满的。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“the Beijing Student Jinfan Art Troupe”,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们与联合国国际学校的学生进行了互动,在林肯中心进行了特别表演,并与哥伦比亚大学的诺贝尔奖获得者进行了对话。根据前面的“gave a special”可知,此处需要填名词,“perform”的名词形式是“performance”,“give a performance”表示 “进行一场表演”。故填performance。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:他们与联合国国际学校的学生进行了互动,在林肯中心进行了特别表演,并与哥伦比亚大学的诺贝尔奖获得者进行了对话。根据句意可知,“They interacted with students at the United Nations International School”,“gave a special performance at Lincoln Center”和“took part in dialogue with Nobel Prize laureates at Columbia University” 这三个动作是并列关系,所以用and 连接。故填and。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:北京圣陶教育发展与创新研究院执行院长姚炜说:“艺术没有国界,中美年轻人之间应该有更多的交流。”分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰Yao Wei,Yao Wei和serve为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填serving。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:北京圣陶教育发展与创新研究院执行院长姚炜说:“艺术没有国界,中美年轻人之间应该有更多的交流。”此处为谓语动词的填入,“Art ____ no borders”是一个客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语“Art”是不可数名词,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填knows。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:北京圣陶教育发展与创新研究院执行院长姚炜说:“艺术没有国界,中美年轻人之间应该有更多的交流。我们欢迎美国学校与中国学校建立更多的联系,并邀请他们访问北京。” 根据“Chinese and American young people”可知,这里表示“中美年轻人之间”,“between...and...”为固定短语,表示“在…… 和…… 之间”。故填between。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:我们欢迎美国学校与中国学校建立更多的联系,并邀请他们访问北京。“welcome sb. to do sth.”是固定用法,意为“欢迎某人做某事”,所以此处填动词不定式“to establish”。故填to establish。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:纽约华夏中国学校董事会主席BoYingkan表示:“我们的学生目前正在四川学习舞龙。” 此处需要用副词修饰动词“are learning”,“current”的副词形式是 “currently”,表示“目前,当前”。故填currently。

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Yesterday afternoon, students rushed out of the school gate and greatly rejoiced (高兴) at the arrival of Christmas holiday. They gathered at the flower store to buy flowers for their friends or relatives with pocket money. Opposite the door of the store stood a very small boy named Jim. His face was dirty, with one arm resting against the wall, and his head supported on it, crying sadly. Two or three of the girls came to Jim and asked, “What is the matter that you cry like this?” But he made no reply. Soon many children gathered there out of curiosity.
“Come, tell us what is the matter with you and why you are crying,” one girl repeated softly. And then Jim lifted his face from his arm and said through his tears that he had lost the twenty dollars his parents had given him to buy presents for his grandmother who lived in a nursing home. It had escaped through a hole in his pocket and he showed the hole to them. Jim didn’t want to go home because he was afraid of disappointing his parents. They lived a poor life, and that money meant a lot to them. Saying that, Jim again dropped his head upon his arms and cried in deep sadness.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为80左右;
