Ling’s art has not only helped her fulfill her own dreams but also offered a window to a wider world for others like her. Through her art, she helps them experience the beauty and wonders of the world.
In 2003, attracted by the beauty of embroidery (刺绣) in Guizhou, Ling began to explore the art of expressing something traditional of Chinese landscape paintings through the embroidery.
She later took part in several competitions for the disabled in Guiyang, winning more than 40 awards. The growing recognition of Ling’s art has not only made her more confident, but also brought happiness to her life.
Since then, Ling has decided to create more paintings and embroidery to catch the beauty of the world for people who find themselves challenged by bad luck, especially those who can’t move about by themselves.

As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness (晕动症).
Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning (旋转).
It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (混乱的) with each other. We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears have a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance (平衡). Our muscles (肌肉) react to movement. When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.
About one in three people get motion sickness. Women and children aged two to twelve are most at risk. Some people may even experience motion sickness in certain situations, such as reading in motion, playing video games and watching 3D movies. But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that stop mismatching senses.
Although there are many ways to deal with (处理) motion sickness, I believe that the key is to simply try and adapt (适应) to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild (轻微的) motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore.
27.When motion sickness happens to you, you ________.
A.feel uncomfortable, sick and dizzy B.become confused with your senses
C.see room around you stop spinning D.know all your body parts work well
28.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A.How our body senses move. B.How motion sickness happens.
C.How body parts work together. D.How motion sickness confuses us.
29.What do you know about motion sickness?
A.Everyone with motion sickness hates travelling. B.Most women and children have motion sickness.
C.Reading in a car may cause our motion sickness. D.Mismatching senses brings us motion sickness.
30.The writer probably agrees that ________.
A.it’s difficult to deal with motion sickness B.most astronauts have no motion sickness
C.it’s possible to adapt to motion sickness D.mild motion sickness is good for health
【答案】27.A 28.B 29.D 30.C
【导语】本文主要介绍了晕动症的症状、患病原理、患病几率以及特殊治疗方法。
27.细节理解题。根据“People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning (旋转).”可知,当晕动症发生在你身上时,你会感到不舒服、恶心和头晕。故选A。
28.主旨大意题。根据“It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (混乱的) with each other.”以及结合整段可知,本段主要讲述了晕动症是如何发生的。故选B。
29.细节理解题。根据“But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that stop mismatching senses.”可知,感官不匹配给我们带来了晕动症。故选D。
30.推理判断题。根据“Although there are many ways to deal with (处理) motion sickness, I believe that the key is to simply try and adapt (适应) to it.”可知,虽然有许多方法来对付晕动症,作者相信关键是简单地尝试和适应它。故选C。
D
In the historical records of technological innovation (创新), few companies have left as unforgettable a mark as Tesla, the electric cars and clean energy company founded by Elon Musk in 2003. From its beginning as a startup focused only on electric cars, Tesla has become a global leader, reshaping industries and inspiring a new age of sustainable (可持续的) transportation and clean energy.
Tesla’s cars are not just about clean energy; they are also technological wonders. Autopilot, Tesla’s advanced driver-assist system, has had both praise and doubt but show the company’s contribution to pushing the limits of what’s possible in automotive technology. Tesla’s Supercharger network, a global network of fast-charging stations, has also played a key role in reducing range anxiety among electric car drivers, making long-distance travel in electric cars a practical choice.
Beyond electric cars, Tesla is also deeply invested (投资) in renewable energy solutions. The company’s Solar Roof and Powerwall products offer homeowners and businesses the ability to produce and store their own clean energy, reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and lowering their carbon footprint. Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity in 2016 further improved its role as a one-stop-shop for sustainable energy solutions.
Despite its many achievements, Tesla has faced its share of challenges and doubts. From producing delays and quality controlling issues to Elon Musk’s sometimes untraditional public statements, the company has had to find a way out of the situation. However, Tesla’s ability to innovate and adapt, combined with a fiercely loyal customer base, has allowed it to get over these challenges and continue to develop.
As Tesla continues to broaden its product offerings and push the limits of what’s possible in electric transportation and renewable energy, it remains a beacon of hope for a more sustainable future. With the world facing environmental challenges, Tesla’s task to move the world’s focus to sustainable energy is more important than ever. Only time will tell how far this pioneering company will go in shaping the future of our planet.
31.What makes Tesla an unforgettable mark?
A.Its electric cars. B.Its leadership in the world.
C.Its change in car industries. D.Its combination of advanced tech and green solutions.
32.Why is Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity in 2016 important?
A.It improved Tesla’s place for sustainable energy solutions.
B.It reduced the producing delays and quality controlling issues.
C.It gained more recognition from untraditional public statements.
D.It helped Tesla become the largest producer of gasoline-powered cars.
33.What is the author’s attitude toward Tesla’s future?
A.Concerned. B.Hopeful. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
34.What’s the text mainly about?
A.The importance of fossil fuels in modem transportation.
B.The challenges and doubts faced by Elon Musk’s personal life.
C.The history of electric cars from their beginning to the present day.
D.Tesla’s role in innovating electric cars and supporting renewable energy.
【答案】31.D 32.A 33.B 34.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了Tesla在电动汽车方面的创新和在支持可再生能源方面的作用。
31.细节理解题。根据“In the historical records of technological innovation (创新), few companies have left as unforgettable a mark as Tesla, the electric cars and clean energy company founded by Elon Musk in 2003. From its beginning as a startup focused only on electric cars, Tesla has become a global leader, reshaping industries and inspiring a new age of sustainable (可持续的) transportation and clean energy.”和第三段“Beyond electric cars, Tesla is also deeply invested (投资) in renewable energy solutions.”可知,是先进技术和绿色解决方案的结合让特斯拉留下了令人难忘的印记。故选D。
32.细节理解题。根据“The company’s Solar Roof and Powerwall products offer homeowners and businesses the ability to produce and store their own clean energy, reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and lowering their carbon footprint. Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity in 2016 further improved its role as a one-stop-shop for sustainable energy solutions.”可知,2016年收购SolarCity是因为它强化了特斯拉在可持续能源解决方案方面一站式服务供应商的角色。故选A。

四、 阅读表达(共10分, 第1-3题每小题2分, 第4小题4分)
Teens like to work out in their daily life, like running, playing basketball or soccer. But we don’t often think of martial arts as a possible activity, instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible.
Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts is much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). And it’s much less scary and much less difficult than it’s usually portrayed (描绘) as in movies, so worry not, you don’t need to be the karate kid to have a blast! Let’s look at what you can usually expect from martial arts of any style.
Good martial arts generally requires you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your limbs (四皮), sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head, and practice can help you learn to stay more focused in general (say, when you start your schoolwork afterwards).
Long series of choreographed moves (including when to breath in and out) called forms are often described as “moving meditation (冥想)”; they’re meditative in the same way doing repeated moves is, but much more so. Martial arts practice can be as slow or as intense (激烈的) as you want, but it’s always extremely attractive.
Martial arts also improves your coordination (协调性), and greatly improves your posture. I have personally seen students go from slouching (低头垂肩地站) and knocking things over to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless subtypes and mix-ups of martial arts. Whichever one appeals to you, know that all of them are good choices, competitive or not.
35.What is a great way to keep in shape?
36.Why are you much calmer when you leave the gym?
37.What happens to students slouching and knocking things over in just a couple of months?
38.Would you like to work out martial arts after reading the passage? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.)
【答案】35.Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). 36.This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity, which helps clear your head. 37.Students who slouch and knock things over can improve their posture and coordination, walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months. 38.开放性习题,参考答案为Yes, I would like to work out martial arts because it helps improve mental focus and physical posture, and it offers a way to stay fit in an engaging manner.
【导语】本文主要介绍了练武术的好处。
35.根据第二段“Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally).”可知,武术锻炼有助于保持体型。故填Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally).
36.根据第三段“when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity.”可知,因为练习时专注于一个活动,所以可以帮助人更冷静,使你头脑清醒。故填This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity, which helps clear your head.
37.根据第五段“Martial arts also improves your coordination (协调性), and greatly improves your posture. I have personally seen students go from slouching (低头垂肩地站) and knocking things over to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.”可知,那些弯腰驼背、撞倒东西的学生可以改善他们的姿势和协调性,在短短几个月内就能够昂首挺胸地走路。故填Students who slouch and knock things over can improve their posture and coordination, walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
38.开放性习题,言之有理即可,注意符合题目要求,参考答案为Yes, I would like to work out martial arts because it helps improve mental focus and physical posture, and it offers a way to stay fit in an engaging manner.

【答案】例文
My most unforgettable experience was when I participated in a charity run for a local hospital. As the race day approached, I felt very nervous. I was proud of myself for taking on this challenge, but I also worried if I could finish. The morning of the run, my heart raced with excitement and nerves. However, as soon as the gun went off, all those feelings disappeared, replaced by a sense of purpose. Along the way, strangers turned into supporters, cheering me on and offering words of encouragement. I felt happy. Despite the tiredness, I pushed through and crossed the finish line, filled with happiness.
From this experience, I learned that with the help and support of others, we can achieve more than we ever thought possible. I’m grateful for that day and the lessons it taught me.

A few months ago, there was a serious fire in a big city. Many people were hurt and 13 their homes. In my school, we decided to organize a 5-kilometer run to collect money for the people.

Ling Runzhi, 41, who has used a wheelchair ever since she was six, listens to an online class about modern Chinese landscape paintings (山水画) carefully.
With a few deft strokes (灵巧的几笔) of her paintbrush, Ling skillfully brings to life a black-and-white work of art. Despite the loss of sensation in her lower body because of an illness, this talented artist refuses to let her illness stop her creativity.
Ling’s art has not only helped her fulfill her own dreams but also offered a window to a wider world for others like her. Through her art, she helps them experience the beauty and wonders of the world.
In 2003, attracted by the beauty of embroidery (刺绣) in Guizhou, Ling began to explore the art of expressing something traditional of Chinese landscape paintings through the embroidery.
She later took part in several competitions for the disabled in Guiyang, winning more than 40 awards. The growing recognition of Ling’s art has not only made her more confident, but also brought happiness to her life.
Since then, Ling has decided to create more paintings and embroidery to catch the beauty of the world for people who find themselves challenged by bad luck, especially those who can’t move about by themselves.
There is a beautiful planting of green copper coin grass on Ling’s window. It reminds us that we should not be afraid of the wind and the sun in life like grass.
24.How long has Ling Runzhi used a wheelchair?
A.For 33 years. B.For 35 years. C.For 41 years. D.For 47 years.
25.The underlined word “fulfill” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.realize B.find C.follow D.lose
26.The writer’s purpose in mentioning the grass in the last paragraph is ________.

As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness (晕动症).
Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning (旋转).
It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (混乱的) with each other. We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears have a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance (平衡). Our muscles (肌肉) react to movement. When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.
About one in three people get motion sickness. Women and children aged two to twelve are most at risk. Some people may even experience motion sickness in certain situations, such as reading in motion, playing video games and watching 3D movies. But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that stop mismatching senses.
Although there are many ways to deal with (处理) motion sickness, I believe that the key is to simply try and adapt (适应) to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild (轻微的) motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore.
27.When motion sickness happens to you, you ________.
A.feel uncomfortable, sick and dizzy B.become confused with your senses
C.see room around you stop spinning D.know all your body parts work well
28.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A.How our body senses move. B.How motion sickness happens.
C.How body parts work together. D.How motion sickness confuses us.
29.What do you know about motion sickness?
A.Everyone with motion sickness hates travelling. B.Most women and children have motion sickness.
C.Reading in a car may cause our motion sickness. D.Mismatching senses brings us motion sickness.
30.The writer probably agrees that ________.
A.it’s difficult to deal with motion sickness B.most astronauts have no motion sickness
C.it’s possible to adapt to motion sickness D.mild motion sickness is good for health
D
In the historical records of technological innovation (创新), few companies have left as unforgettable a mark as Tesla, the electric cars and clean energy company founded by Elon Musk in 2003. From its beginning as a startup focused only on electric cars, Tesla has become a global leader, reshaping industries and inspiring a new age of sustainable (可持续的) transportation and clean energy.
Tesla’s cars are not just about clean energy; they are also technological wonders. Autopilot, Tesla’s advanced driver-assist system, has had both praise and doubt but show the company’s contribution to pushing the limits of what’s possible in automotive technology. Tesla’s Supercharger network, a global network of fast-charging stations, has also played a key role in reducing range anxiety among electric car drivers, making long-distance travel in electric cars a practical choice.
Beyond electric cars, Tesla is also deeply invested (投资) in renewable energy solutions. The company’s Solar Roof and Powerwall products offer homeowners and businesses the ability to produce and store their own clean energy, reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and lowering their carbon footprint. Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity in 2016 further improved its role as a one-stop-shop for sustainable energy solutions.
Despite its many achievements, Tesla has faced its share of challenges and doubts. From producing delays and quality controlling issues to Elon Musk’s sometimes untraditional public statements, the company has had to find a way out of the situation. However, Tesla’s ability to innovate and adapt, combined with a fiercely loyal customer base, has allowed it to get over these challenges and continue to develop.
As Tesla continues to broaden its product offerings and push the limits of what’s possible in electric transportation and renewable energy, it remains a beacon of hope for a more sustainable future. With the world facing environmental challenges, Tesla’s task to move the world’s focus to sustainable energy is more important than ever. Only time will tell how far this pioneering company will go in shaping the future of our planet.
31.What makes Tesla an unforgettable mark?
A.Its electric cars. B.Its leadership in the world.
C.Its change in car industries. D.Its combination of advanced tech and green solutions.
32.Why is Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity in 2016 important?
A.It improved Tesla’s place for sustainable energy solutions.
B.It reduced the producing delays and quality controlling issues.
C.It gained more recognition from untraditional public statements.
D.It helped Tesla become the largest producer of gasoline-powered cars.
33.What is the author’s attitude toward Tesla’s future?
A.Concerned. B.Hopeful. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
34.What’s the text mainly about?
A.The importance of fossil fuels in modem transportation.
B.The challenges and doubts faced by Elon Musk’s personal life.
C.The history of electric cars from their beginning to the present day.
D.Tesla’s role in innovating electric cars and supporting renewable energy.

Teens like to work out in their daily life, like running, playing basketball or soccer. But we don’t often think of martial arts as a possible activity, instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible.
Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts is much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). And it’s much less scary and much less difficult than it’s usually portrayed (描绘) as in movies, so worry not, you don’t need to be the karate kid to have a blast! Let’s look at what you can usually expect from martial arts of any style.
Good martial arts generally requires you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your limbs (四皮), sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head, and practice can help you learn to stay more focused in general (say, when you start your schoolwork afterwards).
Long series of choreographed moves (including when to breath in and out) called forms are often described as “moving meditation (冥想)”; they’re meditative in the same way doing repeated moves is, but much more so. Martial arts practice can be as slow or as intense (激烈的) as you want, but it’s always extremely attractive.
Martial arts also improves your coordination (协调性), and greatly improves your posture. I have personally seen students go from slouching (低头垂肩地站) and knocking things over to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless subtypes and mix-ups of martial arts. Whichever one appeals to you, know that all of them are good choices, competitive or not.
35.What is a great way to keep in shape?
36.Why are you much calmer when you leave the gym?
37.What happens to students slouching and knocking things over in just a couple of months?
38.Would you like to work out martial arts after reading the passage? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.)
