With the rapid development, the city of Chongqing is becoming more and more attractive to outsiders, including foreigners. For 26-year-old Moldovan Gabriela Cojocaru, who has the Chinese nickname Li Xiaoxiao, Chongqing is the beginning of a dream.
In September 2014, Xiaoxiao, who has studied ethnic dance and ballet since childhood, graduated from the Moldovan National Dance Academy, and several classmates joined her on a trip to China. However, she did not know any Chinese or even English. She made many friends from China, which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China.
“I think as a foreigner, first you have to learn Chinese,” she said. “Then you can go to better understand the culture and the Chinese people.” But after learning what she thought was Chinese, she discovered that the language she had spent two years learning is actually the Chongqing dialect. Such is her delivery that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice. As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese, she took considerable efforts to be good at it. This “mistake” has turned out to be a lucky strike.
But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other. As such, she introduced Chinese food or Chongqing food, and stories about China to her friends in Moldova. She plans to introduce the history and specialties of Moldova, such as Moldo van wine, to the Chinese. She hopes to let more people know that this country actually has a rich history of more than 5,000 years of wine-making.
“I’d love to do it,” she said. “I will continue to strengthen the culture of the two countries and hope that the two countries will become better and better.”
4 Why does Xiaoxiao make Chinese friends?
A. To study more about ethnic dance.
B. To appreciate more about new cultures.
C. To learn more local dialects.
D. To communicate with others more easily.
5. What does the underlined word “delivery” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Dialect. B. Ballet. C. Dream. D. Mistake.
6. Which of the following best describes Xiaoxiao according to the text?
A. Cautious and smart. B. Humorous and creative.
C. Friendly and optimistic. D. Hardworking and responsible.
7. Where can the text be found?
A. In a biography. B. In a culture magazine.
C. In a history book. D. In a novel.

Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease which leads to shaky hands and slow movement, and there is no cure. Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art that combines (结合) slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may be an effective means of reducing the suffering. Recently, the researchers say that those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson’s.
The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved.
Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study”—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are impressive — but said there were limitations in its design, and more tests were needed.
“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients,” he said.
8. Why was the study conducted?
A. To find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
B. To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson’s patients.
C. To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies.
D. To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson’s.
9. Which of the following is not the researchers’ finding?
A. Concentration problem was lower in the Tai Chi group.
B. The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group.
C. Patients in the non-Tai Chi group continuously fell down.
D. Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the Tai Chi group.
10. What can we learn from Prof. Alastair Noyce’s words?
A. Tai Chi should be given more preference.
B. Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance.
C. It is unnecessary to do more related studies.
D. Improve the long-term management of patients is impossible.
11. What is Prof. Alastair Noyce’s attitude towards the study?
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Worried.
D
If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (夜间活动) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences, called light pollution, whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. Poorly designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels — and light rhythms — to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted.
Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet. The effect is so powerful that, for example, migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings. And frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses.
Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage, the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being.
12. According to the passage, human beings ______.
A. prefer to live in the darkness B. are used to living in the day light
C. were curious about the midnight world D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon
13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to?
A. The night. B. The moon. C. The sky D. The planet.
14. The writer mentions birds and frogs to ______.
A provide examples of animal protection
B. show how light pollution affects animals
C compare the living habits of both species
D. explain why the number of certain species has declined
15. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic Light B. The Orange Haze
C. The Disappearing Night D. The Rhythms of Nature

Nature, while beautiful, could also be unpredictable and merciless. But most importantly, we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans’ cabin light.
One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to take an adventure into the unexplored paths of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect get-away. Little did we know that our casual (随意的) hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever kept in our memories.
We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding paths. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and wondered at the beauty of nature around us.
As we trekked through the thick forests taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our body. The path was rough and rocky, but we persisted through the challenging landscape.
Midway through our exploration, we came upon a breathtaking waterfall, its shining water’s pouring down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall surrounded us, and we felt refreshed and energetic.
As the day went on, we trekked deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that we just didn’t notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest.
Frightened, we hurried to find our way back but the thick forests and winding paths only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back. No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear paths than something worse happened.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, the weather took an unexpected turn.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“She made many friends from China, which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China.(她交了很多来自中国的朋友,逐步解决了她在语言交流上的障碍,也使她自己更好地适应了中国的生活)”可知,Xiaoxiao 在中国交了很多朋友,这些朋友帮助她逐渐解决了语言交流上的困难,使她更好地适应了中国的生活,交中国朋友可以帮助Xiaoxiao提升中文水平,从而与他人交流更轻松。故选D。

推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese, she took considerable efforts to be good at it.(因为Xiaoxiao认为重庆方言是标准汉语,她花了很大努力才学好)”及第四段第一句“But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other.(但她更感兴趣的是做一些两国相互理解的事)”可知,Xiaoxiao下了很大的功夫来学习汉语并且希望做一些能够帮助两个国家了解彼此的事情。通过这些事例可以体现出她是一个既努力又有责任感的女孩。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了Xiaoxiao来中国学习汉语并积极促进两国文化交流的故事,所以本文最可能出现在与文化相关的杂志上。故选B。

The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved.
Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study”—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动) and non-motor functions are impressive — but said there were limitations in its design, and more tests were needed.
“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients,” he said.
8 Why was the study conducted?
A. To find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
B. To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson’s patients.
C. To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies.
D. To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson’s.
9. Which of the following is not the researchers’ finding?
A. Concentration problem was lower in the Tai Chi group.
B. The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group.
C. Patients in the non-Tai Chi group continuously fell down.
D. Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the Tai Chi group.
10. What can we learn from Prof. Alastair Noyce’s words?
A. Tai Chi should be given more preference.
B. Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance.
C. It is unnecessary to do more related studies.
D. Improve the long-term management of patients is impossible.
11. What is Prof. Alastair Noyce’s attitude towards the study?
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Worried.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了一项研究表明,练习太极拳有助于缓解帕金森氏病的症状。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Recently, the researchers say that those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson’s.(最近,研究人员表示,每周练习两次太极的人比不练习的人并发症更少,生活质量更好。专家表示,这些发现支持了之前关于运动对帕金森氏症患者益处的研究。)”和第二段中的“The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years.(这项来自上海交通大学医学院的研究对数百名帕金森病患者的健康状况进行了长达五年的监测。)”可推测出,进行这项研究是为了研究太极拳对那些患有帕金森氏病的人产生的好处。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. (研究人员发现,从症状、动作和平衡的测量结果来看,太极拳组的病情进展较慢。这一组的跌倒次数更少,背痛和头晕次数更少,记忆力和注意力问题也低于另一组。)”可知,太极拳组的病情进展较慢,跌倒、背痛、头晕次数更少,记忆力和注意力问题也较低,选项A、B、D均是研究发现,C项不符合题意。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中他的话“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients(我们已经推荐太极拳和其他形式的运动,但了解哪些运动形式最有益是改善患者长期管理的重要目标)”可知,他认为了解哪些运动形式最有益是改善患者长期管理的重要目标,由此可推测出,找到最有益的锻炼方式是非常重要的。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it ‘an important study’—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are impressive(伦敦玛丽女王大学神经病学和神经流行病学教授Alastair Noyce教授称这是‘一项重要的研究’——对运动功能和非运动功能的积极影响令人印象深刻)”可知,他认为这项研究是一项重要的研究,对运动功能和非运动功能的积极影响令人印象深刻,由此可推测出,他对这项研究持肯定态度。故选C。
D
If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (夜间活动) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences called light pollution, whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. Poorly designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels — and light rhythms — to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted.
Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet. The effect is so powerful that, for example, migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings. And frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses.
Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage, the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being.
12. According to the passage, human beings ______.
A. prefer to live in the darkness B. are used to living in the day light
C. were curious about the midnight world D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon
13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to?
A. The night. B. The moon. C. The sky D. The planet.
14. The writer mentions birds and frogs to ______.
A. provide examples of animal protection
B. show how light pollution affects animals
C. compare the living habits of both species
D. explain why the number of certain species has declined
15. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic Light B. The Orange Haze
C. The Disappearing Night D. The Rhythms of Nature
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类因光污染破坏了自然昼夜节律,影响了自身和夜行动物的生存。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light.(相反,我们是昼伏夜出的生物,我们的眼睛已经适应了生活在阳光下)”可知,人类习惯于在日光下生活。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词所在句“Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.(然而,这是解释我们对黑夜所做的一切的唯一方法:我们设计了它,让它用光来接收我们)”可知,此处的it指代“黑夜”。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet. The effect is so powerful that, for example, migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings. And frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses.(光是一种强大的生物力量,对许多物种来说,它就像磁铁一样。这种影响非常强大,例如,鸟类在夜间迁徙时,往往会与灯火通明的高层建筑相撞。而生活在灯火通明的高速公路附近的青蛙,夜间的光照水平是平时的一百万倍,这几乎使它们行为的各个方面都失控,包括夜间繁殖的合唱)”可推知,第三段通过鸟类撞楼、青蛙繁殖紊乱的例子,直接说明光污染对动物的负面影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.(然而,这是解释我们对黑夜所做的一切的唯一方法:我们设计了它,让它用光来接收我们)”及全文内容可知,全文围绕光污染导致“自然夜晚消失”展开,讨论其对生态和人类认知的影响。由此可知,选项C“消逝的夜晚”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。

【38题详解】
考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意:有时我的手指在雕刻洞时会被割伤。根据“while carving the holes”可知,本句描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,主语my fingers和动词cut之间是被动关系,时态应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were。故填were cut。

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:在古琴制作方面技艺超群,冯觉得自己有必要教年轻人弹奏这种传统乐器。superior to为固定搭配,表示“优于……,比…… 高超”,故填to。
【44题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:在古琴制作方面技艺超群,冯觉得自己有必要教年轻人弹奏这种传统乐器。it为形式主语,本空引导主语从句,作真正的主语,从句不缺成分或含义,用that引导。故填that。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:冯分享道:“自这种独特的乐器诞生以来,中国人就一直在弹奏它,他们将持续欣赏这一传统艺术,感受中国传统文化之美。”根据“since it was born”可知,句子时态应用现在完成时,又因主语Chinese people是复数,所以助动词用have。故填have played。

【答案】
Our Power, Our School
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning! As Earth Day approaches, let’s reflect on our school’s energy use. Currently, many classrooms leave lights on all day, air conditioners run empty rooms, and devices stay plugged in unnecessarily. This wastes precious resources and harms our planet.
To change this, we must act collectively. First, always turn off lights and unplug devices when leaving classrooms. Second, propose replacing old equipment with energy-saving models. Third, organize awareness campaigns through posters and class meetings. Lastly, form student monitoring teams to check energy usage weekly.
Small steps create big impacts. Let’s transform “Our Power” into sustainable actions for “Our School”!
Thank you!

Nature, while beautiful, could also be unpredictable and merciless. But most importantly, we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans’ cabin light.
One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to take an adventure into the unexplored paths of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect get-away. Little did we know that our casual (随意的) hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever kept in our memories.
We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding paths. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and wondered at the beauty of nature around us.
As we trekked through the thick forests, taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our body. The path was rough and rocky, but we persisted through the challenging landscape.
Midway through our exploration, we came upon a breathtaking waterfall, its shining water’s pouring down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall surrounded us, and we felt refreshed and energetic.
As the day went on, we trekked deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that we just didn’t notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest.
Frightened, we hurried to find our way back but the thick forests and winding paths only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back. No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear paths than something worse happened.

【答案】 Suddenly, the weather took an unexpected turn. Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and a heavy downpour ensued. The comforting forest sounds quickly proved a terrifying symphony of thunder and wind. The trail that was once so clear became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on. We tried to consult our map, but it was too late; we got lost in the wildness. Hours passing, our attempts to find the trail turned out to be in vain. With the cold creeping in, despair started to set in.
Just when we were about to give up, a weak light appeared in the distance. Curiosity overpowered our fear, and we decided to follow it. When we drew nearer, we saw a small log cabin, lights shining from its windows. Knocking on the door, an elderly woman, Mrs. Evans, welcomed us with a warm smile. She was a retired ranger who had chosen to live her twilight years in the heart of the mountains. She offered us shelter for the night, and the next morning, guided us back to the main trail. This incident strengthened our friendship and taught us the importance of resilience and hope. The experience was beyond expectation, terrifying, but enlightening all the same.
