This was her favorite place, and she felt a little sad to leave. Today, the family would move their sheep and goats to new grasslands—just like many other families in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古)—to find fresh grass for their animals. Soon, everyone would pack their things onto horses. Ainura poured the milk into leather bags tied to the horses. As the horses walked, the shaking would turn the milk into butter. This was a clever way to save time while travelling. After finishing with the milk, Ainura helped her mother take down the yurt. Yurts are tall and round tents, with roofs like domes. The walls and roof are made of felt (毛毡) tied to a wooden frame. There was a fire inside the yurt, which was used for cooking. Ainura and her mother took out the saddlebags (鞍袋) from inside the yurt. They didn’t use heavy drawers (抽屉) to store things. Instead, they used saddlebags because they were light and easy to carry. When they stayed in one place, they hung the bags on the walls of the yurt. Once they emptied the yurt, they took off the felt sheets and took down the wooden frame. Ainura’s brother was getting the animals together. He was singing his songs while working. He sang, “My home is around my campfire, my home is the grass.” It was a new song, but it showed the old ideas of the nomads (游牧民族). Then, Ainura wet down the wool and wrapped (裹) it in blankets. Usually, they made felt by beating the wool for a long time, but when they travelled, they tied it to the horses and let the movement do the work. Ainura’s mother lined up the horses, and Ainura tied ropes to horses to pull the wool. Before leaving, Ainura walked to the fire and poured everyone a cup of tea. It would be another year before they returned here, and she thought it was a good time for the family to stop for a moment and share her favourite view. 29. Which picture can best show how to turn milk into butter? A. B. C. D. 30. What does “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. The horse. B. The blanket. C. The wool. D. The felt. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. An exciting trip in the wild. B. A family’s travel to find a new home. C. A helpful guide to building yurts D. A traditional lifestyle of the nomads. 【答案】29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了内蒙古的一个游牧家庭——Ainura一家在搬家途中的一系列活动，展现了游牧民族的传统生活方式。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Ainura poured the milk into leather bags tied to the horses. As the horses walked, the shaking would turn the milk into butter.”可知，Ainura 把牛奶倒进系在马身上的皮袋里，马行走时的晃动会把牛奶变成黄油；选项D图片展示了系在马身上的袋子，符合题意。故选D。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第六段“Then, Ainura wet down the wool and wrapped it in blankets. Usually, they made felt by beating the wool for a long time, but when they travelled, they tied it to the horses and let the movement do the work.”可知，Ainura把羊毛弄湿并裹在毯子里，通常他们通过长时间敲打羊毛来制作毛毡；但旅行时，他们把羊毛系在马上，让马的移动来完成这项工作；据此可以推断，划线单词“it”指代的是“the wool”。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文讲述了Ainura 一家搬家的过程，包括把牛奶制成黄油、拆卸蒙古包、收拾物品、让动物集合等，这些都是游牧民族的传统生活方式的体现。故选D。 C ① Filled with magic, love, and change, The Legend of Lady White Snake is one of China’s most famous stories. It started as a warning story, but became a timeless love story loved by Chinese people for centuries. ② The earliest version (版本) of the story appeared in the Song Dynasty. Li Huang, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, meets a beautiful woman in white and spends three happy days with her. But soon, he becomes sick and dies suddenly. Later, his family finds out the woman is a white snake living in an empty garden. This story teaches young men to be careful with mysterious women. ③ In the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong added dark humour to the story. Xu Xuan is a poor man crazy about money. The White Snake tricks him by giving him stolen money and marrying him. When Xu Xuan gets charged because of the stolen money, he runs away. The White Snake follows him and warns that she’ll destroy the village if he leaves her. Xu feels so helpless that he decides to kill himself, but a kind monk called Fahai saves Xu Xuan. He catches the White Snake and locks her in Leifeng Pagoda. Feng’s story teaches people not to care too much about money. ④ In the Qing Dynasty, a writer called Fang Chengpei broke with tradition. He stressed (强调) the White Snake’s purity and love, and turned Fahai into a cold-hearted character, trying to stop their unnatural love. In his story, the White Snake risked her life to save her husband, Xu Xuan, by bravely fighting Fahai. However, Xu Xuan remains selfish and weak, only caring about himself. ⑤ In the past century, calls for freedom in marriage made the story different. In the 1950s, Tian Han made lady White Snake a symbol of love and free will. Xu Xuan, now named Xu Xian, becomes a better character. Touched by lady White Snake’s bravery, Xu Xian grows into a devoted and loving husband. Fahai, however, is described as a heartless controller, always keeping to unreasonable rules. The story tells that love is stronger than prejudice. 32. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 33. In Feng Menglong’s story, Xu Xuan runs away because ________. A. he gets charged with theft B. he marries the White Snake C. the White Snake will kill him D. Fahai wants to catch his wife 34. What’s the main difference between Fang Chengpei’s story and Tian Han’s? A. The ending of the story. B. The personalities of Xu. C. The role of White Snake. D. The description of Fahai. 35. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To ask people to read the story. B. To compare the writers of the story. C. To introduce the changes of the story. D. To show the reason why people love the story. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍《白蛇传》这个故事。 【32题详解】 篇章结构题。分析文章内容可知，第一段是总括，第二至第五段分解讲述“四大版本”的不同，故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When Xu Xuan gets charged because of the stolen money, he runs away.”可知，当许宣因为偷钱而被指控时，他逃跑了。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。方成培笔下的许宣“自私怯弱”，而田汉笔下的许仙“忠诚善良”，主要差别在许宣/许仙的性格上，故选B。 35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者介绍了这个传奇故事在不同时期的变化与发展，主旨在于展现其演变，故选C。 D Miss Martha Meacham kept the little bakery on the corner. At forty, she had two false teeth and a sympathetic heart. She has two thousand dollars in the bank. Many people, who were not as good as Miss Martha, had married. A customer came in two or three times a week, and soon Miss Martha began to take an interest in him. He was a quiet, middle-aged man, wearing glasses and a brown beard. ① His clothes were always old and patched (缝补的). But he looked tidy and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale (不新鲜的) bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf, while stale loaves were two for five. ② Once, while serving him, Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark on the customer’s fingers. ③ She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in an attic (阁楼), where he painted pictures, ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha’s bakery. ④ Miss Martha’s heart was a sympathetic one. To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter (柜台). No artist could fail to notice it. Two days later, the customer came in. “Two loaves of stale bread, if you please.” “You have here a fine picture, madam,” he said while she was packing the bread. “Yes?” said Miss Martha, pleased with her cleverness. “Do you think it is a good picture?” “The palace,” said the customer, “is not in good drawing. The perspective (透视画法) of it is not true. Goodbye, madam.” He took his bread, bowed and hurried out. Yes, he must be an artist. How gently and kindly his eyes shone behind his glasses! To be able to judge perspective at a quick look—and to live on stale bread! But talented people often have to go through difficulties before they succeed. What a thing it would be for art and perspective if genius were supported by two thousand dollars in the bank a bakery and a sympathetic heart—But these were daydreams. Now, when he came, he would often chat for a while with Miss Martha. He kept on buying stale bread, never a cake, never a pie. She thought he began to look thinner and lost heart. She wanted to offer something good to him, but she was afraid of hurting him. She knew the pride of artists. (To be continued) 36. We can put the sentence “Never did he call for anything but stale bread.” in ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 37. Why did Miss Martha put the painting behind the bread counter? A. To sell the painting to help the poor artist. B. To test whether the customer was an artist. C. To show her personal art collection and taste. D. To decorate the shop and attract more customers. 38. Miss Martha had a “sympathetic” heart means she was kind to someone ________. A. who had a problem B. who made mistakes C. who achieved success D. who laughed at others 39. What might happen later according to the last sentence of the story? A. Miss Martha would offer the man stale bread for free. B. Miss Martha would lend some of her money to the man. C.

By describing the setting in great detail. B. By showing scenes between two locations. C. By using long dialogues between characters. D. By exploring Miss Martha’s thoughts and feelings. 【答案】36. B 37. B 38. A 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了在一家街角小店的老板Miss Martha Meacham，她一直认为有一位顾客是艺术家，所以想尽办法去帮助他。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。“Never did he call for anything but stale bread.”表示“除了不新鲜的面包，他什么也不要”，需插入描述顾客购买习惯的段落。原文第二段末尾提到顾客总买两条不新鲜面包，且②处后文进一步说明价格差异，插入此处可强调他仅买廉价面包的习惯。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter (柜台).”可知，Martha挂画的目的是“验证她对他职业的猜测是否属实”，故选B。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。“sympathetic”指Martha对处于困境者的同情。文中她因顾客的贫穷和才华产生怜悯，选项A“对有困难的人善良”最贴切。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。结尾提到Martha想帮助他但怕伤害其自尊，结合“艺术家的骄傲”，暗示她可能通过隐蔽方式提供帮助，选项C“玛莎小姐会偷偷地往不新鲜的面包里加些东西”符合，故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。故事通过大量内心描写（如Martha对顾客身份的猜测、同情和幻想）推动情节，选项D“通过Martha的想法和感受展开”符合。故选D。 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41—45的相应横线上。 41.

During his short life, he was a singer, an actor, a songwriter and television host. His music career covered swing, folk, and rock and roll. When he died of heart failure at the age of 37, Darin seemed to be famous for doing just about everything. Darin was born with the name Walden Robert Cassotto. He chose the name Bobby Darin when he decided to go into show business. He took his new name from a sign on a Chinese restaurant. The letters M-a-n in the word Mandarin went out, and he thought the rest of the sign was a perfect short name that people would remember. He began his career as a songwriter in the early days of rock and roll. In the 1950s, he wrote “Love Me Right” and “Early in the Morning” for other singers. Darin also recorded some of his own songs, such as “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover”. These songs showed he was a good songwriter, but he was still trying to be a singer. After he recorded a song in 1959 called “Mack the Knife”, however, everything changed. It was a song that Louis Armstrong and Lawrence Welk had recorded before, but Darin’s version became the most famous. The song was number one on the pop music charts. It was Darin’s first and biggest success. During the mid-1960s, Darin showed great interest in folk music. He began to write and sing folk songs. He recorded versions of “If I Were a Carpenter” and Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind”. Darin wanted to do more than just singing, so when he had time during his busy singing and recording career, he started acting too. He received an Academy Award nomination for his role in the film Captain Newman, M. D. He guest-hosted several TV shows and even had his own show. He always reinvented himself—not just to stay popular, but to express deeper parts of who he was. Darin had always known about the heart condition that led to his death. When he died in 1973, it seemed as though he had been on a mission to do as much in his life as he could. He had all kinds of friends. During his life, he called Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. Gore Vidal, and Liza Minnelli his friends. He once said his goal was to be “accepted widely as an entertainer and human being.” Darin may very well have achieved his goal. Bobby Darin—A Talented Star Basic information He was given the name Walden Robert Cassotto at birth. He ___56___ himself Bobby Darin after seeing a sign on a Chinese restaurant. As a child, he had a serious heart problem, which caused his early ___57___. His ___58___ career He started his career by ___59___ songs in the early days of rock and roll. In the 1950s, his works ___60___ “Love Me Right”, “Early in the Morning”, “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover”. In 1959, Darin recorded “Mack the Knife” which made him a popular singer. In the mid-1960s, his ___61___ of music changed. His acting and TV career Being a singer didn’t ___62___ him, so he began acting. He was nominated for an Academy Award and even had his own TV show.

Many students work hard but don’t always get the r___66___ they want because they rely on ineffective methods like last-minute cramming (死记硬背) or passive reading. The good news is that by using smarter and easier study skills, you can improve your understanding, remember information longer, and r___67___ stress. Here are some ways to make your study time more productive. One of the most important h___68___ is active learning, which means engaging with the material instead of just reading it. When you study, try explaining concepts in your own words, asking yourself questions, or e___69___ teaching the topic to a friend. This forces your brain to process (处理) information deeply, making it easier to recall later. Another helpful way is taking o___70___ notes. Instead of writing down everything your teacher says, focus on key ideas and use methods like the Cornell note-taking system, which d___71___ the page into main points, supporting details, and a summary part. This makes reviewing much easier. Properly managing your time wisely is another important skill. Rather than waiting u___72___ the night before a test, spread out your study sessions over days or weeks. Short, regular review sessions (阶段) are far more effective than one long cramming session. A useful skill is the Pomodoro method: study for 25-30 minutes, then take a 5-minute break to recharge. This keeps your mind f___73___ and helps you stay focused. Practice is also necessary—especially for subjects like math and science. Instead of just memorizing formulas (公式), work through different problems to apply (应用) what you’ve l___74___. Self-testing with flashcards or past exam questions is another great way to check your understanding and strengthen your memory. Finally, don’t forget that your physical and mental h____75____ influences your learning. Getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying active all help your brain work at its best. If you’re tired or distracted, even the best study methods won’t work as well. 【答案】66. (r)esults 67. (r)educe 68. (h)abits 69. (e)ven 70. (o)rganized 71. (d)ivides 72. (u)ntil 73. (f)resh 74. (l)earned##(l)earnt 75. (h)ealth 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些更聪明、更有效的学习方法，帮助学生提高学习效率，包括主动学习、做笔记、合理管理时间、练习以及关注身心健康等方面。 【66题详解】 句意：许多学生学习很努力，但并不总是能得到他们想要的结果，因为他们依赖像临阵磨枪或被动阅读这样的无效方法。根据“get the … they want”和首字母“r”提示可知，此处是指得不到他们想要的结果；考查result“结果”，可数名词，这里应用名词复数形式results。故填(r)esults。 【67题详解】 句意：好消息是，通过使用更聪明、更简单的学习技巧，你可以提高理解能力，更长久地记住信息，并减轻压力。根据空后“stress”和首字母“r”提示可知，此处是指减轻压力；考查reduce“减少，减轻”，动词；又根据“can improve”和“remember”可知，这里应用动词原形。故填(r)educe。 【68题详解】 句意：最重要的习惯之一是主动学习，这意味着要与学习材料互动，而不仅仅是阅读它。根据空后“active learning”和首字母“h”提示可知，主动学习是一个好的习惯；考查habit“习惯”，名词；one of the+最高级+名词的复数“最……之一”，固定搭配。故填(h)abits。 69题详解】 句意：当你学习时，试着用自己的话解释概念，问自己问题，甚至把这个主题教给朋友。根据空后“teaching the topic to a friend”和首字母“e”提示可知，此处是指甚至把这个主题教给朋友；考查even“甚至”，副词，用来加强语气，突出主动学习的不同方式。故填(e)ven。 【70题详解】 句意：另一个有用的方法是做有条理的笔记。根据下文“Instead of writing down everything your teacher says, focus on key ideas”和首字母“o”提示可知，不要把老师说的每句话都记下来，而要把注意力集中在关键思想上，也就是说做笔记要有条理；考查organized“有组织的，有条理的”，形容词，在句中作定语，修饰名词“notes”。故填(o)rganized。 【71题详解】 句意：不要把老师说的每一句话都记下来，要关注关键思想，并使用像康奈尔笔记法这样的方法，它把页面分成主要观点、支持细节和总结部分。根据“the page into main points, supporting details, and a summary part”和首字母“d”提示可知，此处是指把页面划分成主要观点、支持细节和总结部分；考查divide...into...“把……分成……”，动词短语；which引导的定语从句修饰“the Cornell note-taking system”，先行词是单数，所以谓语动词应用三单形式divides。故填(d)ivides。 【72题详解】 句意：不要等到考试前一晚才学习，要把学习时间分散在几天或几周内。根据“waiting … the night before a test”和首字母“u”提示可知，此处是指等到考试前一晚才学习；考查until“直到”，介词。故填(u)ntil。 【73题详解】 句意：这能让你的头脑保持清醒，帮助你集中注意力。根据上文“study for 25-30 minutes, then take a 5-minute break to recharge”和首字母“f”提示可知，学习25—30分钟，然后休息5分钟来恢复精力，这种方法能让你的大脑保持清醒；考查fresh“新鲜的；精神饱满的”，形容词，keep your mind fresh“保持头脑清醒”。故填(f)resh。 【74题详解】 句意：不要只是死记硬背公式，要做不同的练习题来应用你所学到的知识。根据“what you’ve”和首字母“l”提示可知，此处是指所学到的知识；考查learn“学习，学会”，动词；空前为助动词have，这里应用现在完成时，learn的过去分词为learned/learnt。故填(l)earned/(l)earnt。 【75题详解】 句意：最后，不要忘记你的身心健康会影响你的学习。根据下文“Getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying active all help your brain work at its best.”可知，充足的睡眠，吃得好，保持活跃都有助于大脑以最佳状态工作，所以此处是指健康会影响学习；考查health“健康”，不可数名词。故填(h)ealth。 六、书面表达（满分15分） 76. 为促进学生身心健康，本学期各地中小学已将课间休息时间延长至15分钟。英文校刊Sunshine for Teens想了解学生对此事的想法，请根据以下要求用英语写一篇短文。 Time for a break We are making a survey on “How Students Spend Their Break Time between Classes.” Could you please share your thoughts with us?

When I was 13, my science teacher, Mr. Thompson, gave us a ___16___ project. “Watch one tree for a month and write about it,” he said, sounding excited. There were several trees behind our building, right away, I noticed the sad-looking maple tree. Its branches were mostly bare (光秃的), with only one red leaf ___17___ a little in the cool autumn wind. It seemed to be holding on to life. Every single afternoon, I ___18___ set up my painting stand and got my drawing book ready. I really wanted to draw all the small changes of that leaf.

Mr. Donovan, the kind park gardener, saw my surprised look. “Leaves don’t really die, ___22___, they fall to feed the earth, so new life may rise when spring comes,” he said softly and put an acorn (橡子) in my hand. His words helped me get through the long, cold winter. I spent the ___23___ of the season writing down all the interesting things about the tree. I saw its rough bark (树皮) give a home to many insects, and ___24___ squirrels ran around, hiding nuts under the tree. When spring came, I saw a beautiful sight.

Many countries worked together to build different sections of the station. One section, called the Service Module, was built by Russia and sent to space in 2000.

B As the sun was rising, Ainura looked at the purple mountains far away. This was her favorite place, and she felt a little sad to leave. Today, the family would move their sheep and goats to new grasslands—just like many other families in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古)—to find fresh grass for their animals. Soon, everyone would pack their things onto horses. Ainura poured the milk into leather bags tied to the horses. As the horses walked, the shaking would turn the milk into butter. This was a clever way to save time while travelling. After finishing with the milk, Ainura helped her mother take down the yurt. Yurts are tall and round tents, with roofs like domes. The walls and roof are made of felt (毛毡) tied to a wooden frame. There was a fire inside the yurt, which was used for cooking. Ainura and her mother took out the saddlebags (鞍袋) from inside the yurt. They didn’t use heavy drawers (抽屉) to store things. Instead, they used saddlebags because they were light and easy to carry. When they stayed in one place, they hung the bags on the walls of the yurt. Once they emptied the yurt, they took off the felt sheets and took down the wooden frame. Ainura’s brother was getting the animals together. He was singing his songs while working. He sang, “My home is around my campfire, my home is the grass.” It was a new song, but it showed the old ideas of the nomads (游牧民族). Then, Ainura wet down the wool and wrapped (裹) it in blankets. Usually, they made felt by beating the wool for a long time, but when they travelled, they tied it to the horses and let the movement do the work. Ainura’s mother lined up the horses, and Ainura tied ropes to horses to pull the wool. Before leaving, Ainura walked to the fire and poured everyone a cup of tea. It would be another year before they returned here, and she thought it was a good time for the family to stop for a moment and share her favourite view. 29.

C ① Filled with magic, love, and change, The Legend of Lady White Snake is one of China’s most famous stories. It started as a warning story, but became a timeless love story loved by Chinese people for centuries. ② The earliest version (版本) of the story appeared in the Song Dynasty. Li Huang, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, meets a beautiful woman in white and spends three happy days with her. But soon, he becomes sick and dies suddenly. Later, his family finds out the woman is a white snake living in an empty garden. This story teaches young men to be careful with mysterious women. ③ In the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong added dark humour to the story. Xu Xuan is a poor man crazy about money. The White Snake tricks him by giving him stolen money and marrying him. When Xu Xuan gets charged because of the stolen money, he runs away. The White Snake follows him and warns that she’ll destroy the village if he leaves her. Xu feels so helpless that he decides to kill himself, but a kind monk called Fahai saves Xu Xuan. He catches the White Snake and locks her in Leifeng Pagoda. Feng’s story teaches people not to care too much about money. ④ In the Qing Dynasty, a writer called Fang Chengpei broke with tradition. He stressed (强调) the White Snake’s purity and love, and turned Fahai into a cold-hearted character, trying to stop their unnatural love. In his story, the White Snake risked her life to save her husband, Xu Xuan, by bravely fighting Fahai. However, Xu Xuan remains selfish and weak, only caring about himself. ⑤ In the past century, calls for freedom in marriage made the story different. In the 1950s, Tian Han made lady White Snake a symbol of love and free will. Xu Xuan, now named Xu Xian, becomes a better character. Touched by lady White Snake’s bravery, Xu Xian grows into a devoted and loving husband. Fahai, however, is described as a heartless controller, always keeping to unreasonable rules. The story tells that love is stronger than prejudice. 32. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 33. In Feng Menglong’s story, Xu Xuan runs away because ________. A. he gets charged with theft B. he marries the White Snake C. the White Snake will kill him D. Fahai wants to catch his wife 34.

To show the reason why people love the story. D Miss Martha Meacham kept the little bakery on the corner. At forty, she had two false teeth and a sympathetic heart. She has two thousand dollars in the bank. Many people, who were not as good as Miss Martha, had married. A customer came in two or three times a week, and soon Miss Martha began to take an interest in him. He was a quiet, middle-aged man, wearing glasses and a brown beard. ① His clothes were always old and patched (缝补的). But he looked tidy and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale (不新鲜的) bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf, while stale loaves were two for five. ② Once, while serving him, Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark on the customer’s fingers. ③ She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in an attic (阁楼), where he painted pictures, ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha’s bakery. ④ Miss Martha’s heart was a sympathetic one. To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter (柜台). No artist could fail to notice it. Two days later, the customer came in. “Two loaves of stale bread, if you please.” “You have here a fine picture, madam,” he said while she was packing the bread. “Yes?” said Miss Martha, pleased with her cleverness. “Do you think it is a good picture?” “The palace,” said the customer, “is not in good drawing. The perspective (透视画法) of it is not true. Goodbye, madam.” He took his bread, bowed and hurried out. Yes, he must be an artist. How gently and kindly his eyes shone behind his glasses! To be able to judge perspective at a quick look—and to live on stale bread! But talented people often have to go through difficulties before they succeed. What a thing it would be for art and perspective if genius were supported by two thousand dollars in the bank, a bakery and a sympathetic heart—But these were daydreams. Now, when he came, he would often chat for a while with Miss Martha. He kept on buying stale bread, never a cake, never a pie. She thought he began to look thinner and lost heart. She wanted to offer something good to him, but she was afraid of hurting him. She knew the pride of artists. (To be continued) 36. We can put the sentence “Never did he call for anything but stale bread.” in ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 37. Why did Miss Martha put the painting behind the bread counter? A. To sell the painting to help the poor artist. B. To test whether the customer was an artist. C. To show her personal art collection and taste. D. To decorate the shop and attract more customers. 38 Miss Martha had a “sympathetic” heart means she was kind to someone ________. A. who had a problem B. who made mistakes C. who achieved success D. who laughed at others 39. What might happen later according to the last sentence of the story? A. Miss Martha would offer the man stale bread for free. B. Miss Martha would lend some of her money to the man. C. Miss Martha would secretly add something to the stale bread. D. Miss Martha would give him fresh bread instead of stale one. 40. How does the writer mainly develop the story? A. By describing the setting in great detail. B. By showing scenes between two locations. C. By using long dialogues between characters. D. By exploring Miss Martha’s thoughts and feelings. 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41—45的相应横线上。 41.

During his short life, he was a singer, an actor, a songwriter and television host. His music career covered swing, folk, and rock and roll. When he died of heart failure at the age of 37, Darin seemed to be famous for doing just about everything. Darin was born with the name Walden Robert Cassotto. He chose the name Bobby Darin when he decided to go into show business. He took his new name from a sign on a Chinese restaurant. The letters M-a-n in the word Mandarin went out, and he thought the rest of the sign was a perfect short name that people would remember. He began his career as a songwriter in the early days of rock and roll. In the 1950s, he wrote “Love Me Right” and “Early in the Morning” for other singers. Darin also recorded some of his own songs, such as “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover”. These songs showed he was a good songwriter, but he was still trying to be a singer. After he recorded a song in 1959 called “Mack the Knife”, however, everything changed. It was a song that Louis Armstrong and Lawrence Welk had recorded before, but Darin’s version became the most famous. The song was number one on the pop music charts. It was Darin’s first and biggest success. During the mid-1960s, Darin showed great interest in folk music. He began to write and sing folk songs. He recorded versions of “If I Were a Carpenter” and Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind”. Darin wanted to do more than just singing, so when he had time during his busy singing and recording career, he started acting too. He received an Academy Award nomination for his role in the film Captain Newman, M. D. He guest-hosted several TV shows and even had his own show. He always reinvented himself—not just to stay popular, but to express deeper parts of who he was. Darin had always known about the heart condition that led to his death. When he died in 1973, it seemed as though he had been on a mission to do as much in his life as he could. He had all kinds of friends. During his life, he called Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. Gore Vidal, and Liza Minnelli his friends. He once said his goal was to be “accepted widely as an entertainer and human being.” Darin may very well have achieved his goal.

Many students work hard but don’t always get the r___66___ they want because they rely on ineffective methods like last-minute cramming (死记硬背) or passive reading. The good news is that by using smarter and easier study skills, you can improve your understanding, remember information longer, and r___67___ stress. Here are some ways to make your study time more productive. One of the most important h___68___ is active learning, which means engaging with the material instead of just reading it. When you study, try explaining concepts in your own words, asking yourself questions, or e___69___ teaching the topic to a friend. This forces your brain to process (处理) information deeply, making it easier to recall later. Another helpful way is taking o___70___ notes. Instead of writing down everything your teacher says, focus on key ideas and use methods like the Cornell note-taking system, which d___71___ the page into main points, supporting details, and a summary part. This makes reviewing much easier. Properly managing your time wisely is another important skill. Rather than waiting u___72___ the night before a test, spread out your study sessions over days or weeks. Short, regular review sessions (阶段) are far more effective than one long cramming session. A useful skill is the Pomodoro method: study for 25-30 minutes, then take a 5-minute break to recharge. This keeps your mind f___73___ and helps you stay focused. Practice is also necessary—especially for subjects like math and science. Instead of just memorizing formulas (公式), work through different problems to apply (应用) what you’ve l___74___. Self-testing with flashcards or past exam questions is another great way to check your understanding and strengthen your memory. Finally, don’t forget that your physical and mental h____75____ influences your learning. Getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying active all help your brain work at its best. If you’re tired or distracted, even the best study methods won’t work as well. 六、书面表达（满分15分） 76. 为促进学生身心健康，本学期各地中小学已将课间休息时间延长至15分钟。英文校刊Sunshine for Teens想了解学生对此事的想法，请根据以下要求用英语写一篇短文。 Time for a break We are making a survey on “How Students Spend Their Break Time between Classes.” Could you please share your thoughts with us?
