Here are four of them to feed your imagination. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson How did it all begin? And how did we get here? The book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way, but it’s quite a long read. Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe How do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1, 000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So, next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name. However, additionally providing more technical terms might have improved the understanding and learning experience. Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake What does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake Answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the outing-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language. Deep Time by Riley Black Want to know the story of our planet? Riley Black takes us on a journey, in the order of time, through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet. The fascinating high-quality images are supported by easily digestible explanations of key historical moments. It also expands on key concepts in geology, astronomy and biology. Yet, measuring the size of some objects on the photos is difficult due to the lack of a scale bar(比例尺). 1. What do A Short History of Nearly Everything and Deep Time have in common? A. They combine science and history. B. They feature vivid images. C. They introduce astronauts’ daily life. D. They entertain readers of all ages. 2. What’s a shortcoming of Thing Explainer? A. It is rather too long. B. It is written in plain language. C. It lacks technical terms. D. It fails to include clear images. 3. Which book is organized in the format of question and answer? A. A Short History of Nearty Everything. B. Thing Explainer. C. Ask an Astronaut. D. Deep Pine. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本激发科学想象力的书籍。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据 A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson部分中“Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history.(比尔·布莱森带领读者踏上了一段令人印象深刻的旅程，穿越了历史上最伟大的科学发现历程)”以及Deep Time by Riley Black部分中“Riley Black takes us on a journey, in the order of time, through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet.(莱利·布莱克带领我们按照时间顺序，穿越那些塑造了我们星球的地质事件，展开了一场旅程)”可知，A Short History of Nearly Everything带读者领略历史上伟大的科学发现，Deep Time按时间顺序讲述塑造地球的地质事件，两本书都结合了科学和历史。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe部分中“Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1, 000 words in English.(兰道尔·门罗仅使用英文中最常见的1000个单词，并借助插图来解释事物是如何运作的)”以及“However, additionally providing more technical terms might have improved the understanding and learning experience.(然而，如果再额外提供一些专业术语的话，可能会增进理解并提升学习体验)”可知，Thing Explainer只用最常见的1000个英语单词来解释事物如何运作，且额外提供更多技术术语可能会提高理解和学习体验，说明这本书的缺点是缺少技术术语。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake部分中“Astronaut Tim Peake Answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the outing-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language.(宇航员蒂姆·皮克回答了所有你之前关于进入太空一无所知的问题。这本书不仅深入剖析了前沿科学知识，还展示了国际空间站上的日常生活。其问答形式让读者能够迅速找到答案，但由于缺乏生动的描述性语言，可能会显得稍欠吸引力)”可知，Ask an Astronaut以问答的形式呈现，容易快速找到答案。故选C。 B Aunt Fannie was Blueberry Jam Woman. As a matter of fact, she wasn’t really my aunt, and out of fear. I never dared call that to her face. The name always made my father chuckle (轻声地笑) and my mother look sternly (严厉地) at both of us — at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both actions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into conversations. As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty. Fannie was the last of the Cratty line; she had never married, and had no living heirs (继承人). My father once told me that it was because she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on. Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam, and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fanne was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserved the secret. One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter (25 美分) and then made me promise I would never spend it. “Hold on to this quarter, 3 she. said, “and some day you will be rich. I still have my first very quarter. ” It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich. I now have the blueberry-jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them to remind myself to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships; and your memories of time spent with friends and family that leave you wealthy indeed. And that is a fortune that anyone can build. 4. What can we infer from the underlined word “fear” in the first paragraph? A. It was too difficult for the author to learn to make the jam. B. It was rude to call Aunt Fannie Blueberry Jam Woman. C. The author hesitated to talk with Aunt Fannie because of shyness. D. Aunt Fannie was too strict and serious to get along with. 5. Which of the following is right according to paragraph 2? A. The author’s mother knew how to make the jam. B. The author often helped Aunt Fannie make the jam. C. The author’s mother always made the jam alone. D. Aunt Fannie was willing to share her recipe. 6. Why did the author put away the quarter carefully? A. She thought it was valuable because of its long history. B. She felt it was a gift from the elderly she should respect. C. She believed she would be as rich as Aunt Fannie. D. She felt afraid of Aunt Fannie because she was serious. 7. What does the author try to tell us? A. Generosity is a valuable virtue. B. Interest is the best teacher. C. Kindness is the secret to friendship. D. Time with family and friends is a treasure. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者与“蓝莓酱女士”Fannie阿姨之间的故事，以及作者从她身上学到的人生道理。 【4题详解】 推理判读题。根据第一段中“I never dared call that to her face. The name always made my father chuckle and my mother look sternly at both of us — at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.(我从来不敢当面这么叫她。这个名字总是让我父亲咯咯地笑，让我母亲严厉地看着我们俩——看着我，因为我不尊重人；看着我父亲，因为他鼓励我的坏行为)”可知，“蓝莓果酱女士”这个名字让妈妈觉得作者不尊重人，爸爸还鼓励这种不良行为，所以从fear可推断出叫范妮阿姨 “蓝莓果酱女士” 是不礼貌的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.(尽管我母亲早已烂熟于心，但只要Fannie阿姨还活着，没有Cratty小姐在厨房里指导制作过程，保守秘密，她就绝不会做这种果酱)”可知，作者的母亲知道如何做果酱。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter (25 美分) and then made me promise I would never spend it. “Hold on to this quarter, 3 she. said, “and some day you will be rich. I still have my first very quarter. ” It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.(有一年，在果酱制作过程中我帮了大忙，Fannie阿姨给了我一个25美分的硬币，然后让我答应我永远不会花掉它。“留着这个25美分的硬币，”她说，“总有一天你会富有的。我还有我的第一个25美分硬币呢。”这显然对她很有效，所以我把1938年的那个25美分硬币放进一个小盒子里，把它放在梳妆台的抽屉里，等着变富)”可知，作者把25美分硬币小心翼翼地收起来，因为她相信她会像Fannie阿姨一样富有。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships, and your memories of time spent with friends and family, that leave you wealthy indeed.(金钱可以让你暂时感到富有，但真正让你富有的是你的人际关系，以及你和朋友、家人共度的时光的记忆)”可知，作者想告诉我们的是：与家人和朋友在一起的时间是无价之宝。故选D。 C The Internet is a vast network that connects millions of computers worldwide, allowing them to share information and communicate. Understanding how it works can help you use it more effectively. Here’s a simple explanation of its principles and basic operations. The Internet operates on a system called the client-server model. When you access a website, your computer (the client) sends a request to a server, which stores the website’s data. The server processes the request and sends the information back to your computer, displaying it on your screen. Every device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address, like a digital fingerprint. It helps identify and locate devices. The Internet also cannot work without key components such as routers and DNS. The routers direct data packets between networks, ensuring information reaches the correct destination, while DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable website names(e. g. www. google. com)into IP addresses that computers understand. When you type a website address into your browser, your request is sent to a DNS server to find the corresponding IP address and it is routed through multiple networks via routers. Thus, the server hosting the website receives the request and sends the data back to your device. And then your browser assembles the data and displays the website. While using the Internet, you are supposed to use strong passwords, which should be a mixture of letters, numbers and other characters, and enable two-factor authentication. You’re also advised to avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files. Public Wi-Fi can be risky, yet many think it’s always safe. Additionally, you have to keep your software and antivirus programs updated. The Internet is a powerful tool that relies on a complex but efficient system of communication. By understanding its basic principles and following safe practices, you can make the most of this global network. Whether for research, entertainment, or communication, the Internet connects us all in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. 8. What is the function of a server in the client-server model? A. It sends requests to the client. B. It stores and processes website data. C. It directs data packets between networks. D. It translates website names into IP addresses. 9. What is an “IP address” in the context of the Internet? A. A data storage server. B. A data packet director. C. A device identifier. D. domain name translator. 10. Which of the following is the safest way of using the Internet? A. Paving bills on Starbucks’ Wi-Fi. B. Downloading apps from official app stores. C. Using your name as passwords. D. Reading e-books on random websites. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The History of the Internet Access B. Why Safe Internet Use Is Important C. The Role of Servers in Data Storage D. How the Internet works 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。互联网是连接全球计算机的网络。它基于客户端-服务器模式工作，有 IP 地址、路由器和 DNS 等关键组件。使用时要注意安全，如用强密码、不连公共Wi-Fi等。了解其原理和安全做法能更好利用它。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When you access a website, your computer (the client) sends a request to a server, which stores the website’s data. The server processes the request and sends the information back to your computer, displaying it on your screen.(当你访问一个网站时，你的电脑（客户端）向服务器发送一个请求，服务器存储网站的数据。服务器处理请求并将信息发送回你的计算机，显示在你的屏幕上)”可知，在客户机-服务器模型中，服务器的功能是存储和处理网站数据。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Every device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address, like a digital fingerprint. It helps identify and locate devices.(每个连接到互联网的设备都有一个唯一的IP地址，就像数字指纹一样。它有助于识别和定位设备)”可知，在互联网的背景下，设备标识符是“IP地址”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“ You’re also advised to avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files. Public Wi-Fi can be risky, yet many think it’s always safe. Additionally, you have to keep your software and antivirus programs updated.(建议不要点击可疑链接或下载未知文件。公共Wi-Fi可能有风险，但许多人认为它总是安全的。此外，你必须保持你的软件和防病毒程序的更新)”可知，从官方应用商店下载应用是最安全的上网方式。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Internet is a vast network that connects millions of computers worldwide, allowing them to share information and communicate. Understanding how it works can help you use it more effectively. Here’s a simple explanation of its principles and basic operations.(因特网是一个庞大的网络，连接着全世界数以百万计的计算机，使它们能够共享信息和交流。了解它是如何工作的可以帮助你更有效地使用它。下面简单介绍一下它的原理和基本操作)”结合文章主要说明了互联网是连接全球计算机的网络。它基于客户端-服务器模式工作，有 IP 地址、路由器和 DNS 等关键组件。使用时要注意安全，如用强密码、不连公共Wi-Fi等。了解其原理和安全做法能更好利用它。可知，D选项“互联网是如何工作的”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Every species, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, plays a unique role in the ecosystem. From pollinators like bees to predators like tigers, each organism contributes to the balance of nature. The extinction of a single species can cause a domino effect, upsetting food chains and ecosystems. For instance, the decline of bees has already threatened global food supply, as they are essential for pollinating crops. Protecting wildlife, therefore, is not just about saving animals; it is about preserving the complex web of life that sustains us all. Beyond their ecological roles, wild animals and plants have intrinsic value. They are not merely resources for human exploitation but living beings with their own right to exist. Philosophers like Peter Singer have argued that sentient animals deserve moral consideration because they can experience suffering. Similarly, the destruction of habitats for economic gain often disregards the rights of original communities who depend on these ecosystems. Conservation, in this sense, is a matter of justice — for both wildlife and marginalized human populations. The consequences of failing to protect wildlife are disastrous. Deforestation, poaching, and climate change have already driven countless species to extinction. The loss of biodiversity not only lessens the beauty and richness of our planet but also weakens the flexibility of ecosystems. For example, coral reefs, which are home to 25% of marine life, are dying due to ocean acidification and rising temperatures. Their collapse would devastate marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions who depend on fishing. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-layered approach. Governments must enforce stricter laws against poaching and habitat destruction. International cooperation is essential to fight illegal wildlife trade and climate change. On an individual level, we can support conservation organizations, reduce our carbon footprint, and make sustainable choices in our daily lives. Education also plays a crucial role; by raising awareness about the importance of wildlife, we can inspire future generations to become advocates for the planet. The protection of wildlife is not a luxury but a necessity. It is a testament to our ability to coexist with nature and a reflection of our moral obligation. As the dominant species on Earth, we have the power—an a the responsibility —to ensure that future generations inherit a world packed with life, diversity, and beauty. Let’s act now, not out of fear, but out of respect for the complicated and wondrous tapestry(织锦) of life that surrounds us. 12. According to the text, what role do bees play in the ecosystem? A. They are indicators of climate change. B. They upset food chains. C. They are essential for ensuring food output. D. They are predators maintaining the nature balance. 13. What does the underlined word “sentient” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Able to think logically. B. Sensitive to pain. C. Highly adaptable. D. Closely dependent on humans. 14. Why is coral feel mentioned in the passage? A. To highlight the complexity of its ecosystem. B. To stress ocean temperature’s importance. C. To prove biodiversity loss’s disastrous results. D. To introduce new marine conservation ways. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance and means of wildlife conservation. B. The impact and challenges of human progress on wildlife. C. The moral obligation of protecting wildlife. D. The factors contributing to the loss of biodiversity. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了保护野生动物重要性及相关举措。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For instance, the decline of bees has already threatened global food supply, as they are essential for pollinating crops.(例如，蜜蜂数量的下降已经威胁到全球粮食供应，因为它们对农作物的授粉至关重要)”可知，蜜蜂在生态系统中对确保粮食产量至关重要。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子“deserve moral consideration because they can experience suffering(应该得到道德上的考虑，因为它们能够感受到痛苦)”可知，这些动物能够感受到痛苦，所以他们是有感觉，所以有感觉的动物应该得到道德上的考虑，所以sentient意为“能感觉到痛苦的”。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The loss of biodiversity not only lessens the beauty and richness of our planet but also weakens the flexibility of ecosystems. For example, coral reefs, which are home to 25% of marine life, are dying due to ocean acidification and rising temperatures. Their collapse would devastate marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions who depend on fishing.(生物多样性的丧失不仅减少了我们星球的美丽和丰富性，还削弱了生态系统的灵活性。例如，占海洋生物25%的珊瑚礁，由于海洋酸化和温度升高而死亡。它们的崩溃将摧毁海洋生物多样性以及数百万依赖渔业为生的人的生计)”可推知，文中提到珊瑚礁是为了证明生物多样性丧失的灾难性后果。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The protection of wildlife is not a luxury but a necessity. It is a testament to our ability to coexist with nature and a reflection of our moral obligation.(保护野生动物不是一种奢侈，而是一种必要。它证明了我们与自然共存的能力，也反映了我们的道德义务)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要论述了保护野生动物的重要性及采取的措施。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Music is a special language that connects people around the world. To truly enjoy music, we need to understand its different parts and how they work together. ___16___ . Here are four important things to notice when listening to music. ___17___ The rune is the part you can sing, while chords (和弦) are the supporting sounds. A good tune catches your attention, but chords make it sound fuller. Classical music often has many chords, while pop songs usually have simple, easy-to-remember tunes. Without chords, a tune might sound too simple or incomplete. Beat and Speed Beat is the pattern you can clap to, and speed is how fast the music goes ___18___ , while slow music helps us relax. Notice how different a dance song is from a soft bedtime song. Similarly, surprising beats in jazz or funk music make it more lively. Loudness and Layers ___19___ sometimes soft and quiet, other times strong and powerful. Layers refer to how many different sounds are playing together in the music. A simple song might have just a singer and guitar, while a big orchestra (管弦乐队) has many instruments creating complex layers of sound. Good music balances these layers well. Feelings in Music Music can make us feel happy, sad, nervous or help us remember special moments. Different types of music create different moods — a cheerful no p song might lift our spirits, while a slow piano piece could bring tears to our eyes. ___20___ By paying attention to these things, we can’ enjoy and understand music much better. A Tune and Chords B. fast music makes us feel excited C. So musicians are good at expressing feelings D. There are different features in a piece of music E. Careful listening helps us discover more about music F. The volume in music changes to show different feelings G. This is why movies use music to make scenes more powerful 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了欣赏音乐时需要注意的四个重要方面，包括旋律与和弦、节奏与速度、音量与层次以及音乐中的情感，以帮助读者更好地享受和理解音乐。 【16题详解】 上文“Music is a special language that connects people around the world.

As the teacher announced the weekend homework, my heart sank. A 10-page history report due Monday! I had completely forgotten about it. On my way home, dark clouds gathered. By the time I reached my doorstep, rain was pouring down. I threw my backpack on the bed and stared blankly at the blank computer screen. My phone buzzed—it was a message from my study group: “Emergency meeting at the library tomorrow? We can work on the history report together.” The next morning, the rain had stopped but the air was still damp. When I arrived at the library, my three classmates were already there with piles of books and notes spread out on the table. Sarah, our group leader, had even made a detailed outline. “We divided the report into four parts,” she explained. “Each of us takes one section, then we’ll combine them and edit together.” I was assigned the economic impacts section — my weakest area. As I struggled with the first paragraph, Mark noticed my frustration. “Here,” he said, sliding a book toward me, “Chapter 5 covers exactly what you need.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: With Mark’s help, I finally managed to get started. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On Monday morning, our group gathered nervously outside the history classroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: With Mark’s help, I finally managed to get started. I delved deep into the reference materials, jotting down key points and organizing my thoughts. The others were also fully engaged, typing away and occasionally discussing ideas. As the afternoon sun streamed through the library windows, we shared our drafts. Sarah’s editing skills polished our work, turning disjointed sections into a cohesive whole. Before we parted, we agreed to meet early on Monday to make final adjustments. Paragraph 2: On Monday morning, our group gathered nervously outside the history classroom. We exchanged anxious glances, hoping our combined efforts would pay off. When the teacher handed back the graded reports, we held our breath. To our delight, we’d earned an A! The teacher praised our teamwork and in-depth analysis. Grinning widely, we high-fived each other. That experience taught me that with support from others, even the most daunting tasks can become achievable. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在周五下午得知周一要交一篇10页的历史报告后感到沮丧，收到学习小组的紧急会议通知后，与小组成员一起在图书馆合作完成报告的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在马克的帮助下，我终于开始动笔了。”可知，第一段可描写作者在马克的帮助下开始写报告，小组成员们也都在努力，最后大家整合内容，决定周一早上再见面做最后的调整。 ②由第二段首句内容“周一早上，我们小组紧张地在历史教室外集合。”可知，第二段可描写小组交上报告后，老师给了A，并表扬了大家的团队合作和深入分析，大家都很开心，这次经历让作者意识到在别人的支持下，即使是最艰巨的任务也能完成。 2.段落续写：开始写作——各自努力——整合内容——周一见面调整——交上报告——得到A——老师表扬——感到开心——意识到团队合作重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①记下……：jot down/write down/note down ②击掌：high-five/slap hands/give a high-five ③调整：make adjustments/modify/revise 情绪类 ①感觉焦虑的：be anxious/feel worried/be uneasy ②令某人高兴的是：to one’s delight/to one’s pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the afternoon sun streamed through the library windows, we shared our drafts.

Here are four of them to feed your imagination. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson How did it all begin? And how did we get here? The book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way, but it’s quite a long read. Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe How do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1, 000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So, next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name. However, additionally providing more technical terms might have improved the understanding and learning experience. Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake What does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake Answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the outing-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language. Deep Time by Riley Black Want to know the story of our planet? Riley Black takes us on a journey, in the order of time, through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet. The fascinating high-quality images are supported by easily digestible explanations of key historical moments. It also expands on key concepts in geology, astronomy and biology.

I never dared call that to her face. The name always made my father chuckle (轻声地笑) and my mother look sternly (严厉地) at both of us — at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both actions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into conversations. As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty. Fannie was the last of the Cratty line; she had never married, and had no living heirs (继承人). My father once told me that it was because she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on. Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam, and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fanne was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserved the secret. One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter (25 美分) and then made me promise I would never spend it. “Hold on to this quarter, 3 she. said, “and some day you will be rich. I still have my first very quarter. ” It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich. I now have the blueberry-jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them to remind myself to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships; and your memories of time spent with friends and family that leave you wealthy indeed. And that is a fortune that anyone can build. 4. What can we infer from the underlined word “fear” in the first paragraph? A. It was too difficult for the author to learn to make the jam. B. It was rude to call Aunt Fannie Blueberry Jam Woman. C. The author hesitated to talk with Aunt Fannie because of shyness. D. Aunt Fannie was too strict and serious to get along with. 5. Which of the following is right according to paragraph 2? A. The author’s mother knew how to make the jam. B. The author often helped Aunt Fannie make the jam. C. The author’s mother always made the jam alone. D. Aunt Fannie was willing to share her recipe. 6. Why did the author put away the quarter carefully? A. She thought it was valuable because of its long history. B. She felt it was a gift from the elderly she should respect. C. She believed she would be as rich as Aunt Fannie. D. She felt afraid of Aunt Fannie because she was serious. 7. What does the author try to tell us? A. Generosity is a valuable virtue. B. Interest is the best teacher. C. Kindness is the secret to friendship. D. Time with family and friends is a treasure. C The Internet is a vast network that connects millions of computers worldwide, allowing them to share information and communicate. Understanding how it works can help you use it more effectively. Here’s a simple explanation of its principles and basic operations. The Internet operates on a system called the client-server model. When you access a website, your computer (the client) sends a request to a server, which stores the website’s data. The server processes the request and sends the information back to your computer, displaying it on your screen. Every device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address, like a digital fingerprint. It helps identify and locate devices. The Internet also cannot work without key components such as routers and DNS. The routers direct data packets between networks, ensuring information reaches the correct destination, while DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable website names(e. g. www. google. com)into IP addresses that computers understand. When you type a website address into your browser, your request is sent to a DNS server to find the corresponding IP address and it is routed through multiple networks via routers. Thus, the server hosting the website receives the request and sends the data back to your device. And then your browser assembles the data and displays the website. While using the Internet, you are supposed to use strong passwords, which should be a mixture of letters, numbers and other characters, and enable two-factor authentication. You’re also advised to avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files. Public Wi-Fi can be risky, yet many think it’s always safe. Additionally, you have to keep your software and antivirus programs updated. The Internet is a powerful tool that relies on a complex but efficient system of communication. By understanding its basic principles and following safe practices, you can make the most of this global network. Whether for research, entertainment, or communication, the Internet connects us all in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. 8. What is the function of a server in the client-server model? A. It sends requests to the client. B. It stores and processes website data. C. It directs data packets between networks. D. It translates website names into IP addresses. 9. What is an “IP address” in the context of the Internet? A. A data storage server. B. A data packet director. C. A device identifier. D. domain name translator. 10 Which of the following is the safest way of using the Internet? A. Paving bills on Starbucks’ Wi-Fi. B. Downloading apps from official app stores. C. Using your name as passwords. D. Reading e-books on random websites. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The History of the Internet Access B. Why Safe Internet Use Is Important C. The Role of Servers in Data Storage D. How the Internet works D Every species, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, plays a unique role in the ecosystem. From pollinators like bees to predators like tigers, each organism contributes to the balance of nature. The extinction of a single species can cause a domino effect, upsetting food chains and ecosystems. For instance, the decline of bees has already threatened global food supply, as they are essential for pollinating crops. Protecting wildlife, therefore, is not just about saving animals; it is about preserving the complex web of life that sustains us all. Beyond their ecological roles, wild animals and plants have intrinsic value. They are not merely resources for human exploitation but living beings with their own right to exist. Philosophers like Peter Singer have argued that sentient animals deserve moral consideration because they can experience suffering. Similarly, the destruction of habitats for economic gain often disregards the rights of original communities who depend on these ecosystems. Conservation, in this sense, is a matter of justice — for both wildlife and marginalized human populations. The consequences of failing to protect wildlife are disastrous. Deforestation, poaching, and climate change have already driven countless species to extinction. The loss of biodiversity not only lessens the beauty and richness of our planet but also weakens the flexibility of ecosystems. For example, coral reefs, which are home to 25% of marine life, are dying due to ocean acidification and rising temperatures.
