It’s a very uncomfortable feeling. Scientists have 1 long believed that sleep is like food—if we don’t get enough of it, we might get sick 2 even die. But now they are starting to wonder just 3 sleep we need. Researchers at Imperial College London did a study on fruit flies. 4 found that flies that slept for very short periods of time — about 72 minutes a day—still lived about as long as flies which slept for normal periods of time. According to 5 study, one of the female flies slept for just 4 minutes each day 6 general. This has led the researchers to wonder if sleep is less necessary than we firstly 7 . However, humans are very different from fruit flies. The Sleep Foundation says that sleep is the time when our bodies perform a lot of repair, such as 8 tissue and growing muscle. It is true that sleeping allows our bodies to get much 9 from the stress we experience each day. But do you think that we 10 really die from not sleeping? No humans 11 from staying awake for too long so far. At present, the world record for sleeplessness 12 held by Robert McDonald, US, who surprisingly stayed awake for 18 days 21 hours 40 minutes in 1986. The Guinness World Records stopped including the record because of the dangers linked without enough sleep 13 people to have enough sleep. Scientists have not yet found any animals that don’t sleep at all. Even animals that only sleep for short periods have to sleep 14 . This suggests that sleep is very important, even for some short - sleeping animals or 15 , German scientist Niels Rattenborg said. 1．A．real B．really C．realize D．reality 2．A．as B．or C．but D．so 3．A．how much B．how many C．how long D．how far 4．A．They B．Them C．Their D．Themselves 5．A．a B．an C．the D．/ 6．A．in B．on C．to D．with 7．A．thought B．thinking C．will think D．to think 8．A．fix B．fixed C．fixing D．to fix 9．A．good B．well C．better D．the best 10．A．need B．may C．must D．should 11．A．die B．died C．have died D．will die 12．A．hold B．held C．is held D．is holding 13．A．encourage B．encouraged C．encouraging D．to encourage 14．A．little B．a little C．few D．a few 15．A．another B．other C．others D．the other 二、完形填空(共10 小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important part of Chinese culture. TCM has a long history. The 16 medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2,000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and 17 . In Chinese culture, yin and yang are the two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work 18 together. The human body needs such a 19 too. TCM helps to do that. Quite specially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM does not give you 20 . Instead, he may give you just a good plan and right ways to eat. For example, it is common to 21 on the way to school, at our work desk, or in front of the TV. 22 , TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, 23 the TV and keep away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body 24 often. Just as the saying goes, running water is never stale. So do exercise more often. Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more 25 around the world. A government report says people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM. 16．A．easiest B．earliest C．newest D．biggest 17．A．objects B．plants C．animals D．nature 18．A．completely B．properly C．quietly D．confidently 19．A．culture B．book C．balance D．promise 20．A．treatment B．prescriptions C．medicine D．examination 21．A．eat B．drink C．play D．smile 22．A．However B．But C．While D．Although 23．A．turn down B．show off C．look up D．turn off 24．A．staying B．relaxing C．moving D．sitting 25．A．expensive B．safe C．modern D．Popular 三、阅读（共20小题，满分35分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分） 阅读下面短文, 掌握大意, 然后从26～40各题所给的A、B、C、D项中, 选出最佳选项。 A Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them save an endangered tiny bird called the Plains - wanderer, which lives in Australia’s grasslands, not just any grasslands. Plains - wanderers are picky. There can’t be too much grass or too little. For this reason, scientists sometimes call them the “Goldilocks” of animals. The birds were common in eastern Australia. But that’s changed, as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. As a result, the birds’ number has fallen by over 85% in recent years. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild. Zoos Victoria, an organization that aims to save the bird, says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” The strange little birds are only about six inches tall. They’re not good at flying, so they spend most of their time on the ground. When they are afraid, they try to sit to hide themselves. One more thing that makes Plains - wanderers unusual is that the females are larger, and are in charge of protecting their home. The male birds are smaller and take care of the eggs. To protect these birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to look for the birds. Since Plains - wanderers are hard to find, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead. Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this was the key to finding them. Thirty-five special recording machines called “song meters” were set up to record all the sounds made in nine different areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. The song meters collected tens of hours of recordings and then the data was processed by an AI system. Happily, the AI system discovered Plains-wanderer calls coming from two of the places. Chris Hartnett, who works with Zoos Victoria, said it was like “finding gold”. It’s the first time in over 30 years that the Plains-wanderer has been found in the west of Melbourne. The new information will help scientists protect the birds. And the researchers are still “listening” — using song meters and AI to try to find more of these Goldilocks birds. 26．Why are the Plains-wanderers sometimes considered as “Goldilocks” by the scientist? A．Because they almost disappear. B．Because they require a special living environment. C．Because there is no enough grassland for them to live in. D．Because they are tiny Australian birds with gold feathers. 27．What can we learn about the Plains-wanderers from the passage? A．The Plains-wanderers are too short to run on the ground. B．The number of the Plains-wanderers has increased in these years. C．The Plains-wanderers are able to hide themselves to the forest when they are in fear. D．The female Plains-wanderers are used to taking more responsibilities to guard their nest. 28．How did the scientists find the Plains-wanderers in the wild? A．They used an AI system to learn the birds’ footprints. B．They set up several machines to locate the birds’ calls. C．They visited a university to look up information of the birds. D．They designed a plan to look for the birds’ sounds with zoo - keepers. 29．Where can we probably find this passage? A．A comic strip. B．A science fiction. C．A nature report. D．A fashion magazine. B Marissa Sumathipala, a student at Broad Run High School outside of Washington, D．C, was practicing with her recreational figure-skating team when she crashed with another skater. Her head hit against the ice heavily. Everything went black. Up to that point, Sumathipala’s entire life had centred around her sport—her daily schedule, exercise routine, even her diet. She had hopes of making the 2018 Olympic team. The fall on the ice would change everything, including her direction. Sumathipala had a brain injury and it ended her skating career. Symptoms lasted for years. Her memory felt unclear at times. She’d find herself dizzy, sick, or exhausted. Sumathipala consulted doctors, so many that she “lost count.” But no one had answers. Sumathipala began to realize that there was so much unknown about the brain. She set out to find the answers herself, a path that would finally bring her to Harvard University, where she’d concentrate in the human brain. Throughout her four years, Surmathipala homed in on brain science. She worked with the McCarroll Lab at Harvard Medical School, helping develop a new method for sequencing synapses (神经突序列) in the brain, which are crucial for memory and learning. Even as an undergraduate, her colleagues were so struck by how mature (成熟的) her thinking already was about science that she quickly became a trusted and valued member of the lab. Also, Sumathipala competed with the Harvard Figure Skating Club all four years. She helped increase its membership and introduced new skaters to the sport she still loves. “I spent a long time struggling with my identity,” she said. “Growing up I was just a skater and then, when I got injured, I had to rebuild my identity. Then I was a scientist. Now, I identify as being both a skater and a scientist.” Reflecting on her years at Harvard, Sumathipala said one of the things she’s most grateful for is seeing how things have come full circle for her. 30．What do we know about Sumathipala’s injury? A．It stopped her skating finally. B．It led to her loss of eyesight. C．It changed her life direction. D．It was easily cured by doctors. 31．In what way did Sumathipala think she could find the answer to her disease? A．Turning to doctors. B．Go on practicing. C．Rebuilding her identity. D．Doing research on brain herself. 32．What does the underlined phrase “homed in on” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．focused on B．returned to C．attended to D．stayed at 33．What made things come full circle for Sumathipala? A．Deep love for figure skating. B．Her determination to achieve life goals. C．The praise from her lab colleagues. D．Good relationship with new skaters. C Empathy (共情) is the ability to recognize, understand, and share the thoughts and feelings of another person, animal, or fictional character. Developing empathy is important for building up relationships and behaving compassionately. It involves experiencing another person’s point of view, rather than just one’s own, and helping behaviours that come from within, rather than being forced. Humans begin tо show signs of empathy when they are still babies and the feeling develops through childhood and youth. Babies show an understanding that people’s actions are guided by purposes and are able to act on that understanding before they are 18 months old, including trying to comfort a parent. Research shows that parents who model empathy raise more empathetic children. Still, most people are likely to feel greater empathy for people like themselves and may feel less empathy for those outside their family, community, or race. Empathy helps us work with others, build friendships, make moral decisions, and give others a hand when we see them being bullied. A friendship or romantic relationship without empathy and understanding will soon fail. When people only think of their own interests, the other people in the relationships will suffer. Healthy relationships require nurture, care, and understanding. Empathy from a global perspective is even more important. This type of empathy pushes people to dive in and help when there are major disasters. People are willing to help out others that they have never met because they know that they too would need help if things were reversed. Empathy is a word that is often used by many people. It’s commonly known that empathy is a good thing to have, but it shouldn’t always be the most important in people’s lives. People who regularly put the feelings of others above their own may experience feelings of emptiness, sadness and even hopelessness sometimes. First responders, humanitarian aid workers, doctors, journalists, and others whose work involves opening themselves up to others’ pain tend to be highly empathetic. However, they may come to share the heartbreak of those they help or whose stories they record. As such “emotional residue” increases, they may shut down, burn out, and become less willing or able to give of themselves. 34．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．What is empathy. B．How people develop empathy. C．When people feel empathy. D．How people discover empathy. 35．Which is one of the advantages of empathy? A．It helps babies grow up faster. B．It reduces the number of bullying. C．It helps keep relationships healthy. D．It saves people’s lives in major disasters. 36．If people always put others’ feelings above their own, they may ________. A．feel empty and upset B．be satisfied with themselves C．have a stronger feeling of empathy D．prefer to share their own stories with others 37．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To tell the advantages of empathy. B．To ask people to show empathy more often. C．To help people more fully understand empathy. D．To teach people how to build healthy relationships. D Dad: Sweetie, what great chrysanthemums you’ve drawn! Ling: Yeah, they’re often used for mourning (哀悼), so I think they fit the sadness of my picture. Dad: That’s interesting, but did you know chrysanthemums weren’t always mourning flowers, especially not in Chinese culture? Ling: Really? Dad: Yes. Chrysanthemums come from China, and have been connected with long life, strength and good luck for thousands of years in Chinese history. Ling: Wait—so they didn’t mean death at all? Dad: Not in Chinese tradition. They come out in autumn and were especially loved during the Chongyang Festival. Many famous poets admired them, and they were used in traditional medicine. Ling: I had no idea! So where did the “mourning flower” idea come from? Dad: That started in Europe. Around 1789, Franco grew chrysanthemums for All Saints’ Day to remember the dead. Ling: So it’s not a Chinese idea? Dad: Exactly! Also, Puccini, a famous Italian musician, wrote Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) to honor a friend’s death. The music piece connected the flower with mourning. Newspapers gradually helped spread this across the world. After World War Ⅰ, chrysanthemums were used to honor fallen soldiers. After World War Ⅱ, Japan followed Western customs. By the 1960s, white and yellow chrysanthemums became their mourning flowers, influencing other Asian countries. Ling: So when did it change in mainland China? Dad: Not until the 1980s, with more Western and Japanese influences. By the early 2000s, flower shops mostly sold chrysanthemums for mourning. It’s all because of foreign influences. Ling: What a pity we forgot our tradition! Dad: I know. Today, many see chrysanthemums as a symbol of death, but that’s not their true meaning in our history. For thousands of years, they remained a symbol of life and celebration. Ling: So how can we fix this misunderstanding? Dad: Through education and festivals. Our city held a “Chongyang Chrysanthemum Festival” last autumn to bring back the flower’s cultural meaning. Ling: That sounds great! I want to go next time. Dad: Why not? We should be proud of our traditions and not let outside ideas replace them. Ling: Yes! I can’t agree more! 38．What do chrysanthemums have to do with in Chinese history? ① long life            ② strength         ③ mourning         ④ good luck A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 39．What will Ling probably do after the conversation? A．She will help spread the writing of Puccini’s piece Crisantemi. B．She will take action to prevent flower shops selling chrysanthemums. C．She will give up fixing the idea of chrysanthemums as “mourning flowers”. D．She will draw another picture of chrysanthemums as a symbol of life and celebration. 40．What is the best title for the conversation? A．The True Story of Chrysanthemums B．A Flower from a Symbol of Life to Death C．A Cultural Lesson from Chinese Traditions D．Roles of Chrysanthemums in Different Cultures 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳选项。 A dictionary is very useful for the people who are learning English.

She had hopes of making the 2018 Olympic team. The fall on the ice would change everything, including her direction. Sumathipala had a brain injury and it ended her skating career. Symptoms lasted for years. Her memory felt unclear at times. She’d find herself dizzy, sick, or exhausted. Sumathipala consulted doctors, so many that she “lost count.” But no one had answers. Sumathipala began to realize that there was so much unknown about the brain. She set out to find the answers herself, a path that would finally bring her to Harvard University, where she’d concentrate in the human brain. Throughout her four years, Surmathipala homed in on brain science. She worked with the McCarroll Lab at Harvard Medical School, helping develop a new method for sequencing synapses (神经突序列) in the brain, which are crucial for memory and learning. Even as an undergraduate, her colleagues were so struck by how mature (成熟的) her thinking already was about science that she quickly became a trusted and valued member of the lab. Also, Sumathipala competed with the Harvard Figure Skating Club all four years. She helped increase its membership and introduced new skaters to the sport she still loves. “I spent a long time struggling with my identity,” she said. “Growing up I was just a skater and then, when I got injured, I had to rebuild my identity. Then I was a scientist. Now, I identify as being both a skater and a scientist.” Reflecting on her years at Harvard, Sumathipala said one of the things she’s most grateful for is seeing how things have come full circle for her. 30．What do we know about Sumathipala’s injury? A．It stopped her skating finally. B．It led to her loss of eyesight. C．It changed her life direction. D．It was easily cured by doctors. 31．In what way did Sumathipala think she could find the answer to her disease? A．Turning to doctors. B．Go on practicing. C．Rebuilding her identity. D．Doing research on brain herself. 32．What does the underlined phrase “homed in on” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．focused on B．returned to C．attended to D．stayed at 33．What made things come full circle for Sumathipala? A．Deep love for figure skating. B．Her determination to achieve life goals. C．The praise from her lab colleagues. D．Good relationship with new skaters. C Empathy (共情) is the ability to recognize, understand, and share the thoughts and feelings of another person, animal, or fictional character. Developing empathy is important for building up relationships and behaving compassionately. It involves experiencing another person’s point of view, rather than just one’s own, and helping behaviours that come from within, rather than being forced. Humans begin tо show signs of empathy when they are still babies and the feeling develops through childhood and youth. Babies show an understanding that people’s actions are guided by purposes and are able to act on that understanding before they are 18 months old, including trying to comfort a parent. Research shows that parents who model empathy raise more empathetic children. Still, most people are likely to feel greater empathy for people like themselves and may feel less empathy for those outside their family, community, or race. Empathy helps us work with others, build friendships, make moral decisions, and give others a hand when we see them being bullied. A friendship or romantic relationship without empathy and understanding will soon fail. When people only think of their own interests, the other people in the relationships will suffer. Healthy relationships require nurture, care, and understanding. Empathy from a global perspective is even more important. This type of empathy pushes people to dive in and help when there are major disasters. People are willing to help out others that they have never met because they know that they too would need help if things were reversed. Empathy is a word that is often used by many people. It’s commonly known that empathy is a good thing to have, but it shouldn’t always be the most important in people’s lives. People who regularly put the feelings of others above their own may experience feelings of emptiness, sadness and even hopelessness sometimes. First responders, humanitarian aid workers, doctors, journalists, and others whose work involves opening themselves up to others’ pain tend to be highly empathetic. However, they may come to share the heartbreak of those they help or whose stories they record. As such “emotional residue” increases, they may shut down, burn out, and become less willing or able to give of themselves. 34．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．What is empathy. B．How people develop empathy. C．When people feel empathy. D．How people discover empathy. 35．Which is one of the advantages of empathy? A．It helps babies grow up faster. B．It reduces the number of bullying. C．It helps keep relationships healthy. D．It saves people’s lives in major disasters. 36．If people always put others’ feelings above their own, they may ________. A．feel empty and upset B．be satisfied with themselves C．have a stronger feeling of empathy D．prefer to share their own stories with others 37．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To tell the advantages of empathy. B．To ask people to show empathy more often. C．To help people more fully understand empathy. D．To teach people how to build healthy relationships. D Dad: Sweetie, what great chrysanthemums you’ve drawn! Ling: Yeah, they’re often used for mourning (哀悼), so I think they fit the sadness of my picture. Dad: That’s interesting, but did you know chrysanthemums weren’t always mourning flowers, especially not in Chinese culture? Ling: Really? Dad: Yes. Chrysanthemums come from China, and have been connected with long life, strength and good luck for thousands of years in Chinese history. Ling: Wait—so they didn’t mean death at all? Dad: Not in Chinese tradition. They come out in autumn and were especially loved during the Chongyang Festival. Many famous poets admired them, and they were used in traditional medicine. Ling: I had no idea! So where did the “mourning flower” idea come from? Dad: That started in Europe. Around 1789, Franco grew chrysanthemums for All Saints’ Day to remember the dead. Ling: So it’s not a Chinese idea? Dad: Exactly! Also, Puccini, a famous Italian musician, wrote Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) to honor a friend’s death. The music piece connected the flower with mourning. Newspapers gradually helped spread this across the world. After World War Ⅰ, chrysanthemums were used to honor fallen soldiers. After World War Ⅱ, Japan followed Western customs. By the 1960s, white and yellow chrysanthemums became their mourning flowers, influencing other Asian countries. Ling: So when did it change in mainland China? Dad: Not until the 1980s, with more Western and Japanese influences. By the early 2000s, flower shops mostly sold chrysanthemums for mourning. It’s all because of foreign influences. Ling: What a pity we forgot our tradition! Dad: I know. Today, many see chrysanthemums as a symbol of death, but that’s not their true meaning in our history. For thousands of years, they remained a symbol of life and celebration. Ling: So how can we fix this misunderstanding? Dad: Through education and festivals. Our city held a “Chongyang Chrysanthemum Festival” last autumn to bring back the flower’s cultural meaning. Ling: That sounds great! I want to go next time. Dad: Why not? We should be proud of our traditions and not let outside ideas replace them. Ling: Yes! I can’t agree more! 38．What do chrysanthemums have to do with in Chinese history? ① long life            ② strength         ③ mourning         ④ good luck A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 39．What will Ling probably do after the conversation? A．She will help spread the writing of Puccini’s piece Crisantemi. B．She will take action to prevent flower shops selling chrysanthemums. C．She will give up fixing the idea of chrysanthemums as “mourning flowers”. D．She will draw another picture of chrysanthemums as a symbol of life and celebration. 40．What is the best title for the conversation? A．The True Story of Chrysanthemums B．A Flower from a Symbol of Life to Death C．A Cultural Lesson from Chinese Traditions D．Roles of Chrysanthemums in Different Cultures 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳选项。 A dictionary is very useful for the people who are learning English.

There is a heated discussion on whether middle school students should be allowed to use AI in their studies. I believe that middle school students should be allowed to use AI when learning because it can provide valuable information. For example, AI can offer help on homework in time. Moreover, it can reorganize information clearly, helping students understand complex topics. It can also make learning fun. However, we must learn to use AI wisely and avoid simply copying answers. Only by thinking independently can we truly improve our knowledge and skills. Therefore, with the right attitude, AI can become a powerful tool to develop our study habits. So, I agree that we should be allowed to use AI. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
