Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain It takes the title of the largest European palace by floor area and it is one of the largest palaces in the world. The Royal Palace of Madrid was built in the 18th century by order of Philip V on the site of the Antiguo Alcázar, a former Moorish castle. With over 135,000 square metres and more than 1,400 rooms, it has seeded centuries of Spanish history. It is one of the few official seats of a head of state that are open to the public. Royal Palace of Brussels, Belgium It is a historic and the most wonderful building in Brussels, Belgium, next to Brussels Park. The Royal Palace of Brussels is the king’s main workplace, where he works daily with his staff. A tradition has been established since 1965 — to open the Royal Palace of Brussels to the public normally from July 21 to the beginning of September. Park and National Palace of Pena, Portugal It is the most popular attraction in Sintra, Portugal, and the main reason why so many people visit the small mountain town, to which it is less than one hour’s drive from the country’s capital city, Lisbon. The colorful palace perched on a hill looks like something out of a fairy tale. Its yellow and bright red appearance makes it one of the most picturesque palaces in Europe. The UNESCO World Heritage site has a rich history that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. Palace of Venaria, Italy It is a former royal residence located in Venaria Reale, near Turin, in Piedmont, northern Italy. It is one of the largest palaces in the world.

B A kid from Ghana has officially been recognized as the world’s youngest male artist. Guinness World Records acknowledged Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah when he was just one year and 152 days old. The little boy began painting at the age of six months, when his remarkable talent became clear. His mother Chantelle, also an artist, was surprised to find her son had artistic talent from that young age. She explained how he started painting. Chantelle was given the task of designing a work for Miss Universe 2023. While she was working, she gave Ace-Liam a canvas (油画布) and some paint. She said he clearly showed a strong interest in colours as he explored the canvas. Chantelle named his first piece “The Crawl”. Ace-Liam is attracting attention across the art world. His work was exhibited at Ghana’s Museum of Science in January. Nine of the 10 pieces on show at that exhibition were sold. Art lovers have bought a further six of his paintings this year. Even Ghana’s first lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo asked the little boy to create a piece for her. Chantelle said her son is making waves with his artistic talent. She said: “He has created a buzz and encouraged deeper conversations about art appreciation.” She also mentioned that his abstract paintings were inspired by the world around him—colours, shapes, textures and his mood. Guinness remarked: “There is no doubt that Ace-Liam has an exciting career ahead of him, and we can’t wait to see what comes next.” 4. What can be inferred about Ace-Liam’s mother from the passage? A. She forced him to learn painting for fame. B. She discouraged him from studying art. C. She designed his first artwork “The Crawl”. D. She discovered his talent by accident. 5. Why does the author mention many of Ace-Liam’s pieces were sold? A. To show the high value of children’s art. B. To prove his artistic talent is widely recognized. C. To stress the museum’s profit-making goal. D. To compare his talent with adult artists. 6. Which of the following is TRUE about Ace-Liam’s artworks? A. All of his paintings shown at the exhibition in January were sold. B. His paintings are mainly realistic works about daily life. C. His abstract paintings draw inspiration from his surroundings. D. His artworks have only been sold in Ghana so far. 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. The World’s Youngest Male Artist in Guinness B. Exploration of Abstract Painting Techniques C. The Role of Parents in Child Artists’ Success D. A Famous Art Exhibition in Ghana C Smartphones means that you can read the news, check the weather, and keep in touch with families and friends on social media. Being connected comes with a lot of benefits. But smartphones are not always good when they cause less family conversations or less attention in class. In January 2024, Brazil signed a bill to ban (禁止) smartphone use in schools, joining the trend (趋势) in the US and Europe. The law applies to public and private schools and isn't just limited to classrooms. Using smartphones in hallways is also not allowed. The law follows a growing ban against smartphone use in all of Brazil's states' schools including Rio de Janeiro. Almost two-thirds of schools in Brazil introduced limitations and 28 percent had complete bans. “Students were having trouble focusing” a school's headmaster Meire Nocito said. “There was also the problem of social isolation (孤立). Many students who used technology too much would stay alone during breaks, only communicating through social media. Banning smartphone use has helped create a space for social interaction, developing relationships and teaching students to deal with disagreements and arguments, which are a normal part of human interactions. It has been very positive.” Brazilians have one of the highest smartphone use rates in the world. There are actually more phones than people in this South American country with 258 million devices for 203 million people. Brazilians spend over nine hours a day on their phones. This is a hard habit to break. Smartphones have been connected with physical and mental health issues. Mariana Waetge, a 13-year-old student, uses her smartphone to talk with friends and family and to find entertainment on Instagram. Now that she is forced to put her phone away at school, she has found new ways to interact with friends. Brazil, along with France and China, is limiting smartphone use in schools. This measure will not only improve students' academic performance but also make their mental health better. 8. What is not allowed since 2024 if you are a Brazilian student? A. Chat with classmates at breaks. B. Read online news outside classrooms. C. Use a phone to check the weather at home. D. Take photos with a smartphone in the park. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Measures to develop friendship. B. Ways of keeping focused in class. C. Reasons for banning smartphones. D. Advantages of smartphones. 10. Which is correct according to the text? A. Brazilians use their phones for only 9 hours every day. B. Each Brazilian owns a smartphone. C. Brazilians have a high rate of phone use. D. There are 258 million phones across South America. 11. What is the writer likely to talk about next? A. The ownership of smartphones in France and China. B. Advantages of current social media. C. Methods of balancing online entertainment and learning. D. Positive influences of no-phone school on students. D Though fireworks (烟花) on Bonfire Night bring joy to many people, it is likely to be a night of fright and pain for the UK’s geese. Research by Anglia Ruskin University has found that firework displays (表演) cause wild birds to suffer significant pain, and researchers have recommended that displays should not take place in areas with large wildlife populations. A study, published in the journal Conservation Physiology, is one of the first carried out into the effects of fireworks on wildlife. It found that the heart rate of geese increased by 96% when they were influenced by firework displays. The study involved 20 wild greylag geese fitted with recorders to record their heart rates and body temperatures, which are measures of physiological stress. Claudia Wascher, who led the research, found that the average heart rate increased from 63 to 124 beats per minute, and their average body temperature increased from 38℃ to 39℃ in the first hour of firework displays. It took the geese about five hours to display normal body temperatures. “Ours is one of the first scientific studies to examine whether fireworks disturb wildlife. There have been previous studies showing that fireworks can cause anxiety in pets, for example in dogs, but little research has been done into how animals in the wild react. We need to carry out further research to conclusively tell whether the geese are reacting to the noise or the light pollution from the fireworks, or a combination of both. Many people get a lot of enjoyment from fireworks but it’s important that we consider animals both pets and wildlife — whenever planning a display,” Wascher said. 12. What advice do researchers give according to the findings of the study? A. Geese should be protected especially at night. B. Great attention should be paid to the UK’s geese. C. Firework displays should be held without harming wildlife. D. Firework displays should take place to bring joy to people. 13. Why were 20 wild greylag geese fitted with recorders? A. To measure their physiological stress. B. To make them safe and sound in the wild. C. To keep their body temperatures normal. D To compare the heart rates between them. 14. How long do the geese need to get over the effect of firework displays on body temperatures? A. About four hours. B. About five hours. C. About six hours. D. About ten hours. 15. What might Wascher’s further research be about? A. The influence of a display on pets and wildlife. B. Whether fireworks influence other wild animals. C. The relations between light pollution from fireworks and geese. D. The effects of noise and light pollution from fireworks on geese. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to make small talk Sometimes, people say that small talk is awkward and shallow (肤浅的). ____16____, the other person will focus on the more interesting parts of your conversation rather than the small talk itself. There are four tips that’ll help you make small talk in any situation. ·Devices down ____17____. This is a small but meaningful gesture (姿态) in a world that’s totally connected to digital networks. Putting your phone tablet, or laptop away shows your focus is completely on the person you’re talking to, and you’re not waiting for something to break your attention. ·Listen first In social situations, one way to show you’re offering your full attention is to listen in an engaged (投入的) way. When you’re listening, show you’re paying attention by practicing nonverbal cues (非语言暗示) like nodding and making eye contact with the speaker. ____18____. For example, if someone tells you, “Wow, I haven’t seen you in three years,” repeat back, “Three years? Has it been that long?” This shows you’re actively listening. ·____19____ When you ask about the person you’re speaking to, ask open-ended questions. For example, “How have things been?” is a better question than “Have you been alright?” The latter requires a simple yes or no response, while the former draws out information in a conversational way. ·Respond enthusiastically When someone tells you something in a small talk conversation, respond enthusiastically (热情地). Your positivity shows you’re paying attention and also makes them feel valued and respected. ____20____. A. Be open-minded B. Ask open questions C. But if you do it successfully D. The first step to making small talk is to put your devices away E. It’s also a good active listening practice to repeat what someone just told you F. If you view these conversations as opportunities to learn G.

Guinness World Records acknowledged Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah when he was just one year and 152 days old. The little boy began painting at the age of six months, when his remarkable talent became clear. His mother Chantelle, also an artist, was surprised to find her son had artistic talent from that young age. She explained how he started painting. Chantelle was given the task of designing a work for Miss Universe 2023. While she was working, she gave Ace-Liam a canvas (油画布) and some paint. She said he clearly showed a strong interest in colours as he explored the canvas. Chantelle named his first piece “The Crawl”. Ace-Liam is attracting attention across the art world. His work was exhibited at Ghana’s Museum of Science in January. Nine of the 10 pieces on show at that exhibition were sold. Art lovers have bought a further six of his paintings this year. Even Ghana’s first lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo asked the little boy to create a piece for her. Chantelle said her son is making waves with his artistic talent. She said: “He has created a buzz and encouraged deeper conversations about art appreciation.” She also mentioned that his abstract paintings were inspired by the world around him—colours, shapes, textures and his mood.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了这个世界上最年轻的男性艺术家Ace-Liam的故事，包括他如何被发现有艺术天赋，作品的展出和销售情况等。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“His mother Chantelle, also an artist, was surprised to find her son had artistic talent from that young age.(他的母亲Chantelle也是一名艺术家，她惊讶地发现自己的儿子从这么小就有艺术天赋)”以及“She explained how he started painting. Chantelle was given the task of designing a work for Miss Universe 2023. While she was working, she gave Ace-Liam a canvas (油画布) and some paint. She said he clearly showed a strong interest in colours as he explored the canvas.(她解释了他是如何开始画画的。Chantelle 接到了为2023年环球小姐设计作品的任务。当她在工作时，她给了 Ace-Liam 一块油画布和一些颜料。她说，当他在探索画布时，他显然对颜色表现出了浓厚的兴趣)”可推知，Chantelle是在自己工作时给了儿子画布和颜料，意外地发现了他的艺术天赋。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Ace-Liam is attracting attention across the art world.

Being connected comes with a lot of benefits. But smartphones are not always good when they cause less family conversations or less attention in class. In January 2024, Brazil signed a bill to ban (禁止) smartphone use in schools, joining the trend (趋势) in the US and Europe. The law applies to public and private schools and isn't just limited to classrooms. Using smartphones in hallways is also not allowed. The law follows a growing ban against smartphone use in all of Brazil's states' schools including Rio de Janeiro. Almost two-thirds of schools in Brazil introduced limitations and 28 percent had complete bans. “Students were having trouble focusing,” a school's headmaster Meire Nocito said. “There was also the problem of social isolation (孤立). Many students who used technology too much would stay alone during breaks, only communicating through social media. Banning smartphone use has helped create a space for social interaction, developing relationships and teaching students to deal with disagreements and arguments, which are a normal part of human interactions. It has been very positive.” Brazilians have one of the highest smartphone use rates in the world. There are actually more phones than people in this South American country with 258 million devices for 203 million people. Brazilians spend over nine hours a day on their phones. This is a hard habit to break. Smartphones have been connected with physical and mental health issues. Mariana Waetge, a 13-year-old student, uses her smartphone to talk with friends and family and to find entertainment on Instagram. Now that she is forced to put her phone away at school, she has found new ways to interact with friends. Brazil, along with France and China, is limiting smartphone use in schools. This measure will not only improve students' academic performance but also make their mental health better. 8. What is not allowed since 2024 if you are a Brazilian student? A. Chat with classmates at breaks. B. Read online news outside classrooms. C. Use a phone to check the weather at home. D. Take photos with a smartphone in the park. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Measures to develop friendship. B. Ways of keeping focused in class. C. Reasons for banning smartphones. D. Advantages of smartphones. 10. Which is correct according to the text? A. Brazilians use their phones for only 9 hours every day. B. Each Brazilian owns a smartphone. C. Brazilians have a high rate of phone use. D. There are 258 million phones across South America. 11. What is the writer likely to talk about next? A. The ownership of smartphones in France and China. B. Advantages of current social media. C. Methods of balancing online entertainment and learning. D. Positive influences of no-phone school on students. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了巴西在 2024 年 1 月签署法案禁止在学校使用智能手机的情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In January 2024, Brazil signed a bill to ban (禁止) smartphone use in schools, joining the trend (趋势) in the US and Europe. The law applies to public and private schools and isn't just limited to classrooms. Using smartphones in hallways is also not allowed.(2024 年 1 月，巴西签署了一项禁止在学校使用智能手机的法案，加入了美国和欧洲的这一趋势。该法律适用于公立和私立学校，且不仅限于教室。在走廊使用智能手机也是不被允许的)”可知，作为一个巴西学生，在学校范围内使用智能手机是被禁止的，因此，不可以在教室外面阅读网络新闻。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Students were having trouble focusing,” a school's headmaster Meire Nocito said. “There was also the problem of social isolation (孤立). Many students who used technology too much would stay alone during breaks, only communicating through social media. Banning smartphone use has helped create a space for social interaction, developing relationships and teaching students to deal with disagreements and arguments, which are a normal part of human interactions. It has been very positive.”(“学生们难以集中注意力，” 一所学校的校长梅雷・诺西托说。“还有社交孤立的问题。许多过度使用科技产品的学生在课间会独自待着，只通过社交媒体交流。禁止使用智能手机有助于创造一个社交互动的空间，发展人际关系，并教导学生处理分歧和争论，这是人类互动的正常部分。这是非常积极的。”)”可知，此段主要阐述了学生使用智能手机存在的问题以及禁止使用智能手机带来的好处，也就是在说明禁止在学校使用智能手机的原因。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Brazilians have one of the highest smartphone use rates in the world. There are actually more phones than people in this South American country with 258 million devices for 203 million people. Brazilians spend over nine hours a day on their phones.(巴西人是世界上智能手机使用率最高的人群之一。在这个南美国家，手机数量实际上比人口还多，2.03 亿人口拥有 2.58 亿部设备。巴西人每天花在手机上的时间超过 9 个小时)”可知，巴西人手机使用率很高。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Brazil, along with France and China, is limiting smartphone use in schools. This measure will not only improve students' academic performance but also make their mental health better.(巴西，连同法国和中国，正在限制学校使用智能手机。这项措施不仅将提高学生的学业成绩，还将改善他们的心理健康)”可知，文章最后强调了限制学校使用智能手机对学生的好处，接下来很可能会进一步阐述无手机学校对学生的积极影响。故选D。 D Though fireworks (烟花) on Bonfire Night bring joy to many people, it is likely to be a night of fright and pain for the UK’s geese. Research by Anglia Ruskin University has found that firework displays (表演) cause wild birds to suffer significant pain, and researchers have recommended that displays should not take place in areas with large wildlife populations. A study, published in the journal Conservation Physiology, is one of the first carried out into the effects of fireworks on wildlife. It found that the heart rate of geese increased by 96% when they were influenced by firework displays. The study involved 20 wild greylag geese fitted with recorders to record their heart rates and body temperatures, which are measures of physiological stress. Claudia Wascher, who led the research, found that the average heart rate increased from 63 to 124 beats per minute, and their average body temperature increased from 38℃ to 39℃ in the first hour of firework displays. It took the geese about five hours to display normal body temperatures. “Ours is one of the first scientific studies to examine whether fireworks disturb wildlife. There have been previous studies showing that fireworks can cause anxiety in pets, for example in dogs, but little research has been done into how animals in the wild react. We need to carry out further research to conclusively tell whether the geese are reacting to the noise or the light pollution from the fireworks, or a combination of both. Many people get a lot of enjoyment from fireworks but it’s important that we consider animals both pets and wildlife — whenever planning a display,” Wascher said. 12. What advice do researchers give according to the findings of the study? A. Geese should be protected especially at night. B. Great attention should be paid to the UK’s geese. C. Firework displays should be held without harming wildlife. D Firework displays should take place to bring joy to people. 13. Why were 20 wild greylag geese fitted with recorders? A. To measure their physiological stress. B. To make them safe and sound in the wild. C. To keep their body temperatures normal. D. To compare the heart rates between them. 14. How long do the geese need to get over the effect of firework displays on body temperatures? A. About four hours. B. About five hours. C. About six hours. D. About ten hours. 15. What might Wascher’s further research be about? A. The influence of a display on pets and wildlife. B Whether fireworks influence other wild animals. C. The relations between light pollution from fireworks and geese. D. The effects of noise and light pollution from fireworks on geese. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了安格利亚鲁斯金大学的研究发现，烟花表演对野生鸟类造成了显著的痛苦，并建议不要在野生动物数量众多的地区进行烟花表演。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Research by Anglia Ruskin University has found that firework displays cause wild birds to suffer significant pain, and researchers have recommended that displays should not take place in areas with large wildlife populations.(安格利亚鲁斯金大学的研究发现，烟花表演会让野生鸟类遭受巨大痛苦，研究人员建议不要在野生动物数量众多的地区进行烟花表演。)”可知，研究人员建议烟花表演应该在不伤害野生动物的情况下进行。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The study involved 20 wild greylag geese fitted with recorders to record their heart rates and body temperatures, which are measures of physiological stress.(这项研究涉及20只安装了记录器的野生灰雁，记录它们的心率和体温，这是衡量生理压力的指标。)”可知，给20只野生灰雁安装记录器是为了测量它们的生理压力。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It took the geese about five hours to display normal body temperatures.(鹅大约需要五个小时才能显示正常的体温。)”可知，鹅需要大约五个小时才能克服烟花表演对体温的影响。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We need to carry out further research to conclusively tell whether the geese are reacting to the noise or the light pollution from the fireworks, or a combination of both.(我们需要进行进一步的研究，以确定鹅是对烟花的噪音、光污染还是两者的结合做出反应。)”可知，Wascher的进一步研究可能会是关于烟花的噪音和光污染对鹅的影响。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to make small talk Sometimes, people say that small talk is awkward and shallow (肤浅的). ____16____, the other person will focus on the more interesting parts of your conversation rather than the small talk itself.
