Every parent remembers their child’s firsts: their first tooth, their first steps, their first words. Pennsylvania mum, Michelle Wallace can add another first to that list. Her daughter, Olive Wallace, only ten years old, sketched out her first musical composition in pencil. Days later, the musical piece became popular.
Olive Wallace’s grandmother is a retired Californian music teacher. Olive’s aunt also teaches music. Olive herself plays two instruments. “Olive has played the violin for 2 years at her elementary school,” says Michelle. “She also plays the clarinet and sings in her school’s choir. She loves music!”
When Olive shared with her mom the composition she’d written, Michelle shared it with the TikTok (抖音) community. “My 10-year-old daughter wrote this,” Michelle explained in a TikTok video. “Could somebody play this? I need to know if it’s any good or if it makes any sense.”
After Michelle’s video was viewed six million times, the composition had been played and shared by hundreds of TikTok musicians, including well-known professionals.
Actually Olive intended her composition as a song for the Elps, a civilization (文明) of her own creation. On her Elpjungle website, Olive writes about Elps: “For a long time, Elps had kings. King after king the Elp kingdom was led, until one king, King Whirlpool, suddenly for unknown reasons, started to go crazy. He was later overthrown and the queens took over. This song was created to show the end of the kings’ rule and the beginning of the queens. It was titled ‘For Greatness We Bring’ because shortly after the new queen was elected, a whole new kind of Elps was brought in.”
The TikTok musical world used their talents to bring her composition to life by playing the composition on many instruments. It’s clear that Olive has a bright and creative future ahead of her.
24. What can we know about Olive from paragraph 2?
A. She wants to be a teacher. B. She comes from a musical family.
C. Her aunt plays two instruments. D. Her mother is a music teacher.
25. Why did Michelle Wallace share her daughter’s composition on TikTok?
A. To express her thanks. B. To learn about its quality.
C. To show her devotion. D. To make it gain popularity.
26. What does paragraph 5 tell us about the composition?
A. The reason for creating it. B. The way to bring it to life.
C. The public interest in it. D. The story behind it.

【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。详细报道了一个10岁女孩Olive Wallace创作音乐作品的故事,并介绍了她的音乐背景和创作灵感。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Olive Wallace’s grandmother is a retired Californian music teacher. Olive’s aunt also teaches music.(Olive Wallace的祖母是一位退休的加州音乐教师。Olive的姨妈也教音乐)”可推断,Olive出身于音乐之家。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据第三段“When Olive shared with her mom the composition she’d written, Michelle shared it with the TikTok (抖音) community. “My 10-year-old daughter wrote this,” Michelle explained in a TikTok video. “Could somebody play this?

【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Actually Olive intended her composition as a song for the Elps, a civilization (文明) of her own creation. On her Elpjungle website, Olive writes about Elps: “For a long time, Elps had kings. King after king the Elp kingdom was led, until one king, King Whirlpool, suddenly for unknown reasons, started to go crazy. He was later overthrown and the queens took over. This song was created to show the end of the kings’ rule and the beginning of the queens. It was titled ‘For Greatness We Bring’ because shortly after the new queen was elected, a whole new kind of Elps was brought in.”(实际上,Olive想把这首歌献给她自己创造的埃尔普斯文明。在她的Elpjungle网站上,Olive写到埃尔普斯:“很长一段时间,埃尔普斯有国王。一个又一个国王统治着Elp王国,直到有一个国王,Whirlpool国王,不知什么原因,突然发疯了。后来他被推翻,女王们接管了政权。这首歌的创作是为了表现国王统治的结束和女王统治的开始。这首歌的标题是‘为了我们带来的伟大’,因为新女王当选后不久,一个全新的埃尔普斯就出现了。”)”可知,第五段主要讲述了Olive作品背后的故事。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The TikTok musical world used their talents to bring her composition to life by playing the composition on many instruments. It’s clear that Olive has a bright and creative future ahead of her.(TikTok音乐界利用他们的才能,用多种乐器演奏了这首作品,使她的作品栩栩如生。很明显,Olive有一个光明而富有创造力的未来在等着她)”可推断,作者看好Olive的将来,对她持赞赏的态度。故选C项。

With summer just around the corner, hot weather is sure to follow. That means that staying hydrated (含水的) while exercising or working outdoors is a must. But many people don’t drink enough water or are not even aware of how much or little they’re consuming. An Israeli company has a solution for that — a new smart water bottle that tells you when you have to drink.
If you frequently forget to drink during the day, then a smart water bottle may be the answer. These high-tech bottles can remind you to drink. There are a lot of different varieties from other countries out there, but one smart bottle stands out from the rest because it depends on a smart cap that measures how much water is left in the bottle and reminds you to drink by vibrating (震动), changing colors, and sending a message to your phone. The cap is made by the Tel Aviv packaging company ImpacX.
All the technology fits into the ordinary-looking bottle cap. First, the amount you drink is known by sending a laser beam (激光束) inside the bottle and then measuring how long it takes to reach the cap. Second, the smart cap is connected to an app that helps you personalize your needs for water. You need to input your weight and age. Finally, you can even connect your smart bottle to a third-party fitness app.
While the technology is complex, the smart water bottle is actually easy to use because the bottle reminds you when you need to drink. It’s pretty difficult to ignore flashing lights and vibration reminders. A red light means that you have to drink more and a green light shows if you’re drinking the correct hydration amounts.
ImpacX has started the smart bottle in some cities in Israel and plans to expand to other countries. The company has already signed an agreement with the sports drink company Gatorade.
28. What makes ImpacX’s smart bottle stand out from other smart bottles?
A. Its simple design. B. Its beautiful colour.
C. Its smart cap. D. Its big space.
29. What do the users need to do before using the smart bottle?
A. Input their weight and age. B. Send a laser beam inside it.
C. Work out outdoors more. D. Measure the length of it.
30. What does a red light mean?
A. Drinking more water. B. Avoiding drinking.
C. Stopping exercising. D. Filling up the bottle.
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Drinking Water Helps You Avoid Illness
B. Drinking Enough Water Has Been Difficult
C. A Smart Water Bottle Is Popular Worldwide
D. A Smart Water Bottle Can Keep You Hydrated
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了以色列的一家公司新推出的一种可以提醒人们及时喝水、保持水分的智能水杯。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“but one smart bottle stands out from the rest because it depends on a smart cap that measures how much water is left in the bottle and reminds you to drink by vibrating (震动), changing colors, and sending a message to your phone.”(但有一款智能水瓶脱颖而出,因为它依赖于一个智能瓶盖,它可以测量瓶中的剩余水量,并通过震动、改变颜色和向手机发送信息来提醒你喝水。)可知,ImpacX公司的智能水杯因它的智能瓶盖脱颖而出。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“You need to input your weight and age.”(你需要输入你的体重和年龄。)可知,在使用智能瓶之前,使用者需要输入他们的体重和年龄。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A red light means that you have to drink more and a green light shows if you’re drinking the correct hydration amounts.”(红灯表示你需要喝更多的水,绿灯表示你是否摄入了适量的水分。)可知,红灯意味着该多喝水了。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“An Israeli company has a solution for that — a new smart water bottle that tells you when you have to drink.”(一家以色列公司对此有了解决方案——一种新的智能水瓶,它会告诉你什么时候该喝水。)和全文内容可知,本文主要介绍的是一种可以提醒人们及时喝水以保持水分的智能水杯。故选D。
D
People often say your feelings are “written all over your face” because our facial expressions are a main way we communicate emotions. Now according to recent research led by Patty Van Cappellen of Duke University, besides our faces, our body posture (姿势) also plays a role.
In one study, Van Cappellen and her colleagues asked a group of participants to show four faceless mannequins (人体模型) in postures that represented four different emotions: dominance (支配), joy, hope and respect. The research assistants then looked at photos of the mannequins that participants had created and assessed their head positions, arm positions, and degrees of expansiveness — how much space they took up by standing straight or opening up different parts of their bodies. Then, the researchers compared these positions to the feelings they supposedly expressed.
Van Cappellen found that people viewed an expansive posture as representing dominance. But joy and respect were also represented by expansive postures, with hope involving the least expansive posture. “We’re finding that positive emotions are also marked by expansiveness — especially joy,” she says.
Besides, arm and head positions also mattered. For example, joyful postures were described by arms raised above the head, while respectful postures showed hands touching the face. Dominant postures, on the other hand, tended to show arms akimbo (双手叉腰) with the head facing forward.
To know if other people seeing the mannequins could recognize the feelings being expressed by different postures, Van Cappellen had a new group of participants look at photos of mannequins posed in many different ways. The participants found that expansive postures with arms held high represented positive emotion — with arms akimbo representing dominance and negative emotion.
Her research suggests that our body posture helps express our emotions and may help us feel certain emotions, too. This could be consequential — not just in the lab, but in real life, where it’s useful to know how we and other people are feeling in a certain situation.
32. Which emotion is most probably expressed by the least expansive posture?
A. Dominance. B. Joy. C. Hope. D. Respect.
33. What does a man tend to do when he feels happy according to the text?
A. Hold his arms high. B. Touch his face.
C. Have his arms crossed. D. Shake his head.
34. Why did Van Cappellen have new participants look at the photos of mannequins?
A. To find why the participants showed the different feelings.
B. To know how people communicate with facial expressions.
C. To figure out what different body postures may represent.
D. To see if others can feel the same about the body postures.
35. What does the underlined word “consequential” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Embarrassing. B. Important. C. Flexible. D. Unusual.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了除了面部表情,我们的身体姿势也在情感表达中扮演重要角色。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Van Cappellen found that people viewed an expansive posture as representing dominance. But joy and respect were also represented by expansive postures, with hope involving the least expansive posture. “We’re finding that positive emotions are also marked by expansiveness — especially joy,” she says.(范·卡佩伦发现,人们认为舒展的姿势代表着支配地位。但喜悦和尊重也表现在舒展的姿势上,而希望则表现在最不舒展的姿势上。“我们发现,积极的情绪也以广泛性为特征——尤其是快乐,”她说)”可知,表达希望之感时,人的身体伸展的空间最小。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题,根据第四段“Besides, arm and head positions also mattered. For example, joyful postures were described by arms raised above the head, while respectful postures showed hands touching the face. Dominant postures, on the other hand, tended to show arms akimbo (双手叉腰) with the head facing forward.(此外,手臂和头的位置也很重要。例如,快乐的姿势被描述为手臂举过头顶,而恭敬的姿势则是双手触摸脸部。另一方面,优势姿势倾向于双臂叉腰,头部朝前)”可知,当一个人感到快乐时,倾向于把手高高举起。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“To know if other people seeing the mannequins could recognize the feelings being expressed by different postures, Van Cappellen had a new group of participants look at photos of mannequins posed in many different ways. The participants found that expansive postures with arms held high represented positive emotion — with arms akimbo representing dominance and negative emotion.(为了了解其他人看到人体模型是否能识别出不同姿势所表达的情感,范·卡佩伦让一组新的参与者看不同姿势的人体模型的照片。参与者发现手臂高举的伸展姿势代表积极的情绪,手臂叉腰的姿势代表支配和消极的情绪)”可知,Van Cappellen让新的参与者观看人体模型照片是想知晓其他人能否对肢体语言感同身受。故选D项。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“where it’s useful to know how we and other people are feeling in a certain situation.(了解我们和其他人在特定情况下的感受是很有用的)”可知,这种技能是有用的,也就是重要的。由此推知,consequential意为“重要的”,和B项意思相近。故选B项。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When I was young, I lived on an island in the north of Scotland, but I attended a music school in Edinburgh. The school was a boarding school, and I studied the violin. Every day, we practiced for six hours. At the end of each term, all the students packed their bags and instruments to go home for the holidays. Most of the kids went by train, bus, or their parents picked them up by car. But not me! I went home by ferry (渡船) — 14 hours overnight on the open sea. I loved the adventure!
One summer, I packed my suitcase and violin and said goodbye to my friends. I took the train to the ferry station, excited to head home. As the ferry started moving away from the dock (码头) , I suddenly remembered something terrible — I had left my violin on the train! Panic flooded me. What should I do? What would my dad say when I told him? He would definitely be angry! I went to ask a crew member for help, but he said the ferry couldn’t turn back. I felt even worse.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. I spent hours worrying about my dad’s reaction and whether my violin would be lost forever. The violin was so important to me, and I couldn’t imagine what would happen if I lost it. I tried to convince myself that it was only an instrument and that I would somehow figure it out, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the mistake I had made.
The next morning, when I stepped off the ferry, I still didn’t feel ready to face my dad. He was waiting for me, and I was afraid of his reaction. I walked up to him and explained what had happened, feeling terrible. To my surprise, he started laughing! I was confused. Why was he laughing? I had made a huge mistake, and he was laughing about it?
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。
My dad explained everything with a smile.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, as I sat by the window playing my “lost” violin, I couldn’t help but reflect on the whole experience.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
My dad explained everything with a smile. “When you called the ferry crew, they immediately contacted the train station,” he said, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “The conductor found your violin still on the seat and kept it safe at the lost and found. I picked it up this morning when I got the message.” He pulled my violin case from behind his back, its familiar blue surface slightly scuffed but otherwise unharmed. Relief washed over me like a warm wave, and I hugged the case tightly to my chest. Dad patted my shoulder, adding, “Everyone makes mistakes, but what matters is how we handle them. You tried to solve the problem, and that’s what counts.” His unexpected reaction taught me that parents’ love often outweighs their disappointment.
That evening, as I sat by the window playing my “lost” violin, I couldn’t help but reflect on the whole experience. The moonlight danced on the strings as my bow moved across them, producing a melody that seemed sweeter than ever before. I realized how much I had taken both my instrument and my father’s understanding for granted. The panic of losing the violin and the fear of facing Dad had been overwhelming, but the resolution had brought unexpected warmth. Through this adventure, I learned that mistakes don’t define us — it’s our honesty in admitting them and others’ compassion in forgiving them that truly matter. The music flowing from my violin that night carried not just notes, but a newfound appreciation for responsibility and family.

Every parent remembers their child’s firsts: their first tooth, their first steps, their first words. Pennsylvania mum, Michelle Wallace can add another first to that list. Her daughter, Olive Wallace, only ten years old, sketched out her first musical composition in pencil. Days later, the musical piece became popular.
Olive Wallace’s grandmother is a retired Californian music teacher. Olive’s aunt also teaches music. Olive herself plays two instruments. “Olive has played the violin for 2 years at her elementary school,” says Michelle. “She also plays the clarinet and sings in her school’s choir. She loves music!”
When Olive shared with her mom the composition she’d written, Michelle shared it with the TikTok (抖音) community. “My 10-year-old daughter wrote this,” Michelle explained in a TikTok video. “Could somebody play this? I need to know if it’s any good or if it makes any sense.”
After Michelle’s video was viewed six million times, the composition had been played and shared by hundreds of TikTok musicians, including well-known professionals.
Actually Olive intended her composition as a song for the Elps, a civilization (文明) of her own creation. On her Elpjungle website, Olive writes about Elps: “For a long time, Elps had kings. King after king the Elp kingdom was led, until one king, King Whirlpool, suddenly for unknown reasons, started to go crazy. He was later overthrown and the queens took over. This song was created to show the end of the kings’ rule and the beginning of the queens. It was titled ‘For Greatness We Bring’ because shortly after the new queen was elected, a whole new kind of Elps was brought in.”
The TikTok musical world used their talents to bring her composition to life by playing the composition on many instruments. It’s clear that Olive has a bright and creative future ahead of her.
24. What can we know about Olive from paragraph 2?
A. She wants to be a teacher. B. She comes from a musical family.
C. Her aunt plays two instruments. D. Her mother is a music teacher.
25. Why did Michelle Wallace share her daughter’s composition on TikTok?
A. To express her thanks. B. To learn about its quality.
C. To show her devotion. D. To make it gain popularity.
26. What does paragraph 5 tell us about the composition?
A. The reason for creating it. B. The way to bring it to life.
C. The public interest in it. D. The story behind it.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Olive’s future?
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear.

With summer just around the corner, hot weather is sure to follow. That means that staying hydrated (含水的) while exercising or working outdoors is a must. But many people don’t drink enough water or are not even aware of how much or little they’re consuming. An Israeli company has a solution for that — a new smart water bottle that tells you when you have to drink.
If you frequently forget to drink during the day, then a smart water bottle may be the answer. These high-tech bottles can remind you to drink. There are a lot of different varieties from other countries out there, but one smart bottle stands out from the rest because it depends on a smart cap that measures how much water is left in the bottle and reminds you to drink by vibrating (震动), changing colors, and sending a message to your phone. The cap is made by the Tel Aviv packaging company ImpacX.
All the technology fits into the ordinary-looking bottle cap. First, the amount you drink is known by sending a laser beam (激光束) inside the bottle and then measuring how long it takes to reach the cap. Second, the smart cap is connected to an app that helps you personalize your needs for water. You need to input your weight and age. Finally, you can even connect your smart bottle to a third-party fitness app.
While the technology is complex, the smart water bottle is actually easy to use because the bottle reminds you when you need to drink. It’s pretty difficult to ignore flashing lights and vibration reminders. A red light means that you have to drink more and a green light shows if you’re drinking the correct hydration amounts.
ImpacX has started the smart bottle in some cities in Israel and plans to expand to other countries. The company has already signed an agreement with the sports drink company Gatorade.
28. What makes ImpacX’s smart bottle stand out from other smart bottles?
A. Its simple design. B. Its beautiful colour.
C. Its smart cap. D. Its big space.
29. What do the users need to do before using the smart bottle?
A. Input their weight and age. B. Send a laser beam inside it.
C. Work out outdoors more. D. Measure the length of it.
30. What does a red light mean?
A. Drinking more water. B. Avoiding drinking.
C. Stopping exercising. D. Filling up the bottle.
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Drinking Water Helps You Avoid Illness
B. Drinking Enough Water Has Been Difficult
C. A Smart Water Bottle Is Popular Worldwide
D. A Smart Water Bottle Can Keep You Hydrated
D
People often say your feelings are “written all over your face” because our facial expressions are a main way we communicate emotions. Now according to recent research led by Patty Van Cappellen of Duke University, besides our faces, our body posture (姿势) also plays a role.
In one study, Van Cappellen and her colleagues asked a group of participants to show four faceless mannequins (人体模型) in postures that represented four different emotions: dominance (支配), joy, hope and respect. The research assistants then looked at photos of the mannequins that participants had created and assessed their head positions, arm positions, and degrees of expansiveness — how much space they took up by standing straight or opening up different parts of their bodies. Then, the researchers compared these positions to the feelings they supposedly expressed.
Van Cappellen found that people viewed an expansive posture as representing dominance. But joy and respect were also represented by expansive postures, with hope involving the least expansive posture. “We’re finding that positive emotions are also marked by expansiveness — especially joy,” she says.
Besides, arm and head positions also mattered. For example, joyful postures were described by arms raised above the head, while respectful postures showed hands touching the face. Dominant postures, on the other hand, tended to show arms akimbo (双手叉腰) with the head facing forward.
To know if other people seeing the mannequins could recognize the feelings being expressed by different postures, Van Cappellen had a new group of participants look at photos of mannequins posed in many different ways. The participants found that expansive postures with arms held high represented positive emotion — with arms akimbo representing dominance and negative emotion.
Her research suggests that our body posture helps express our emotions and may help us feel certain emotions, too. This could be consequential — not just in the lab, but in real life, where it’s useful to know how we and other people are feeling in a certain situation.
32. Which emotion is most probably expressed by the least expansive posture?
A. Dominance. B. Joy. C. Hope. D. Respect.
33. What does a man tend to do when he feels happy according to the text?
A. Hold his arms high. B. Touch his face.
C. Have his arms crossed. D. Shake his head.
34. Why did Van Cappellen have new participants look at the photos of mannequins?
A. To find why the participants showed the different feelings.
B. To know how people communicate with facial expressions.
C. To figure out what different body postures may represent.
D. To see if others can feel the same about the body postures.
35. What does the underlined word “consequential” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Embarrassing. B. Important. C. Flexible. D. Unusual.

When I was young, I lived on an island in the north of Scotland, but I attended a music school in Edinburgh. The school was a boarding school, and I studied the violin. Every day, we practiced for six hours. At the end of each term, all the students packed their bags and instruments to go home for the holidays. Most of the kids went by train, bus, or their parents picked them up by car. But not me! I went home by ferry (渡船) — 14 hours overnight on the open sea. I loved the adventure!
One summer, I packed my suitcase and violin and said goodbye to my friends. I took the train to the ferry station, excited to head home. As the ferry started moving away from the dock (码头) , I suddenly remembered something terrible — I had left my violin on the train! Panic flooded me. What should I do? What would my dad say when I told him? He would definitely be angry! I went to ask a crew member for help, but he said the ferry couldn’t turn back. I felt even worse.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. I spent hours worrying about my dad’s reaction and whether my violin would be lost forever. The violin was so important to me, and I couldn’t imagine what would happen if I lost it. I tried to convince myself that it was only an instrument and that I would somehow figure it out, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the mistake I had made.
The next morning, when I stepped off the ferry, I still didn’t feel ready to face my dad. He was waiting for me, and I was afraid of his reaction. I walked up to him and explained what had happened, feeling terrible. To my surprise, he started laughing! I was confused. Why was he laughing? I had made a huge mistake, and he was laughing about it?
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。
My dad explained everything with a smile.
