So she has been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. When she was in the third grade, she started the Buddy Bench (友谊长凳) program. That was at her school, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”. It showed others that someone needed a friend. The bench brought kids together and helped them make new friends. Especially for those shy children, they only need to sit on the bench, and then there will be children coming and talking with them. It helps them meet new people and make new friends. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” Sammie told her friends. “He gave me a thumbs—up in the hallway. I knew what I was doing helped him.” It cost money to build benches. Sammie decided to make them out of recycled (回收的) material. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco—friendly (环保的). After discussing with her teachers and friends, they decided to make the benches with plastic (塑料) bottles. They collected 1,200 pounds of bottles in the school and community. The plastic is used to make buddy benches. A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with these bottles. Now Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. And she is spreading kindness around the world. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.” Sammie reminds us that kids can help others and even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference.” She says. Sammie wrote a book. It is called Inspire the World: A Kid’s Journey to Making a Difference. It tells the story of her buddy benches. Sammie hopes her example will inspire others. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. Building buddy benches gave her confidence. “I’m surely more outgoing now.” 24.

Before I go to bed, I always need to listen to soft music so that I can sleep soon. When I am in bad mood, I will listen to hard music. I will rock my head and then sing with the song. Listening to music is a good way to relax myself and I even plan to buy a guitar and learn music. For most of us, it’s difficult not to admire the talent of a skilled musician. Whether they are pianists or violinists, these musicians have shown dedication (奉献) and passion (热情) over a long time to reach the highest levels of performance. But they say it’s never too late to learn. So what are the benefits (益处) for both children and adults, in learning a musical instrument? Learning to play a musical instrument when growing up can improve hearing in adulthood. According to a study by Dr. Nina Kraus, Professor at a University in US, children who played musical instruments were better at recognizing (认识) different sound. This improved hearing skill which could be carried over into later life. The adults who had once played an instrument are able to recognize sounds more easily. And it could also have some academic (学术) benefits too. A study found that students who took part in music—related activities during grades 7—12 scored much higher in science, English and maths. And there are not just benefits to children. Whether you choose to play the piano, try a guitar or learn a drumbeat, you could end up joining a band. Meeting other band mates and sharing your love of a good tune could improve your social life. Learning an instrument can also give you a sense of achievement (成就). Playing that perfect chord (和弦) is one way, but what if you got together with some friends and entered into a competition of the bands—and won? So, whether you’re looking to reduce (减少) stress by playing out some chords, or improve your grades at school, maybe taking up an instrument could help you. 27. The writer thinks ________. A. it is too late for adults to learn playing instruments B. skillful musicians are mostly born, not made C. people can relax themselves with the help of music D. listening to music can help people reduce hearing illness 28. What are Paragraphs 3—4 mainly talking about? A. The helpful ways of becoming a musician. B. The benefits of playing musical instruments. C. The importance of recognizing the sounds. D. The reasons of choosing the suitable instrument. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. People must join a band to learn an instrument B. Learning music is good for both children and adults. C. Listening to music gives you a sense of achievement. D. Music can be good for children, but it cannot last long. 【答案】27. C 28. B 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨学习乐器对儿童和成年人的益处 【27题详解】 观点态度题。根据第一段“I like to listen to music because music helps me relax.”及“Listening to music is a good way to relax myself”可知，作者认为人们能借助音乐放松自己。故选C。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。第三段提到学习乐器能改善听力和带来学术益处，第四段指出其对成年人的社交和成就感的帮助。两段均围绕“演奏乐器的益处”展开。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Learning to play a musical instrument when growing up can improve hearing”第四段“And there are not just benefits to children.”可知，学习音乐对儿童和成年人都有好处。故选B。 D It’s common to communicate by way of texting, and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking your parents to buy something in the shop. However, we may have taken communication by texting too far. Fighting over text, which is also known as “fexting” is a potential pitfall (潜在危险) to relationships that can cause problems and can even break up friendships. When we speak, the person we’re talking to can tell how serious or light we are by our tone (语气) Texting, on the other hand, has no tone. Everything is flat in writing, so a comment (评论) or a joke may be misunderstood as an insult (冒犯). It can lead to miscommunication. Texting is generally a quick back—and—forth exchange, and when arguing, it can get even faster. You may not read all of a person’s reply before you respond (回复) again, and the more upset you get, the harder it may be to express (表达) yourself clearly or to clearly understand the person you’re fighting with. When we text on the phone, there are no facial expressions or body language, so we can’t tell others our real feeling. Sometimes Emojis and GIFs (表情符号和动图) can be hurtful, too. As soon as it becomes clear that things are heading in a bad direction, you can be the one to stop the argument. When the situation isn’t going in the right direction, you can say “I don’t think texting is the right way to discuss this problem.” or “I’m feeling misunderstood and I don’t think texting will help me feel understood.” to stop the conversation. Once you’re clear that texting is no longer an effective (有效的) communication, suggest a new choice to the text argument. For example: Are you free for a phone call? Would you like to talk about this more in person? Let’s make a plan and so on. If the other person isn’t listening to you, or the exchange isn’t ending because you’re having a hard time stopping yourself from arguing further, the best thing you can do is to put down your phone and walk away from it. In some situations, you may even want to turn it off. Arguing happens, but it doesn’t need to happen through texting. If you and your friends disagree about how to communicate effectively, you may benefit from face to face communication. 30. The writer thinks ________. A. people can read the text message carefully when arguing B. “fexting” can cause problems and hurt relationship C. texting can help understand others’ feelings by tone D. texting can help express clearly when people are angry 31. The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A. why texting can cause misunderstanding B. how we use our tone to express feelings C. how to express yourself clearly through texting D why talking on the phone can avoid misunderstanding 32. What do the words “heading in a bad direction” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Helping people reach an agreement. B. Directing people to a good place. C. Following people’s instructions. D. Causing people’s misunderstanding. 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To discuss the good influence of “fexting”. B. To prove the importance of using text messages. C. To tell some tips for stopping “fexting” D. To compare different ways to communicate with others. 【答案】30. B 31. A 32. D 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述通过短信争吵的潜在危害及停止这种争吵的方法。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Fighting over text…is a potential pitfall to relationships that can cause problems and can even break up friendships.”可知，作者认为通过短信争吵会引发问题并伤害人际关系。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。第二段指出短信没有语气、缺乏面部表情和肢体语言，容易导致误解，解释了为什么短信会引发误会。故选A。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“stop the argument”及“things are heading in a bad direction”可知，其意为“导致人们产生误解”，与D选项“导致人们产生误解” 一致。故选D。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。文章先分析短信争吵的危害，再提出停止争吵的建议，如主动终止对话、建议电话或面对面交流等，主要目的是告诉读者停止这种争吵的方法。故选C。 第二部分 四、阅读表达（第34—36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题 China high—speed trains, also known as fast trains, can reach a top speed of 350 km/h. Over 2800 pairs of high—speed trains numbered by G, D or C run daily connecting over 550 cities in China and covering more than 30 provinces. By the end of 2024, China kept the world’s largest high—speed rail (HSR) network with a length totaling over 45,000 km. The world’s longest HSR line, Beijing—Hong Kong High Speed Railway, extends 2,440 km. Why do people like traveling by high—speed trains? There are many different answers. First, the present speed of China high—speed trains is 200—350 km/h, greatly shortening the travel time. Second, different from flights, they are less influenced (影响) by weather traffic control so that they can arrive on time. Third, there are more HSR trains than normal ones and people can reach the high—speed railway stations by subway. It can make a rail journey much more convenient than before. Fourth, although China high—speed train tickets cost more than a common train ticket, it is still cheaper than a flight ticket most of the time. Besides, the seats are wider and softer, the windows are bigger, and the washrooms are cleaner. What’s more, there are advanced (先进的) technological communication systems on the high—speed trains. They can help keep passengers safe. Facilities (设施) on these trains are often high standard, similar to those on an airplane. The seats can be turned towards different directions; the seatback can be changed to a wanted angle (角度); there is a small table in front of the passenger and it is even possible to use Wi—Fi. There are mainly four north—south and four east—west trunk lines, and some inter—city lines, greatly shortening the travel time within China. According to the plan, more railways and other transportation facilities will be built and the high—speed rail will reach 50,000 km by 2025. 34. What is the top speed of China high—speed trains? ____________________________________________ 35. Why can the high—speed trains arrive on time? ____________________________________________ 36. What can help keep passengers safe when they are on the high—speed trains? ____________________________________________ 37.

Jenny jumped out of the car, and Alice could hear a lot of ____13____ laughing and saying goodbye to Jenny. Alice stopped and watched Jenny walk to her front door. Alice could feel her body start to get uncomfortably warm, and her eyes started to water. “Hey, what’s wrong?” her brother asked. “Nothing. I don’t want to play anymore.” Alice ____14____ inside and slammed (用力关) the door. She heard the door open again behind her, but she didn’t turn around and went straight to her room. Alice thought, “How could Jenny do that to me? I thought we were friends.” She heard a knock on the door, but she ignored (不理会) it. Her mom called through the door, “Alice, are you OK? I’ll be downstairs if you want to talk later. You should ____15____ down first.” At last, Alice calmed down and went to talk with her mom. “What’s going on, Alice?” Mom asked when Alice appeared in the living room. “Jenny went somewhere with our friends and she didn’t ____16____ me,” Alice said. “Why did she do that? That’s not very nice. I thought we were friends.” “Oh, honey, I’m sorry. I’d be pretty upset too if I felt ____17____ out. Maybe Jenny knew that you wouldn’t like what they were going to do.

I just want her to know what’s wrong and say she’s sorry.” “That might happen, but it might not. Jenny might not realize that she did something wrong, and she’ll just get mad at you for ignoring her. I really think talking to her about how you feel is the best way to solve the problem.” “OK, Mom, I’ll talk to her at school. Thanks.” Alice said. And guess what? Alice’s mom was ____20____!

(二) 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B Being a Buddy Sammie Vance is 14. She knows people will feel bad when they have no friends. So she has been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. When she was in the third grade she started the Buddy Bench (友谊长凳) program. That was at her school, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”. It showed others that someone needed a friend. The bench brought kids together and helped them make new friends. Especially for those shy children, they only need to sit on the bench, and then there will be children coming and talking with them. It helps them meet new people and make new friends. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” Sammie told her friends. “He gave me a thumbs—up in the hallway. I knew what I was doing helped him.” It cost money to build benches. Sammie decided to make them out of recycled (回收的) material. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco—friendly (环保的). After discussing with her teachers and friends, they decided to make the benches with plastic (塑料) bottles. They collected 1,200 pounds of bottles in the school and community. The plastic is used to make buddy benches. A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with these bottles. Now Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. And she is spreading kindness around the world. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.” Sammie reminds us that kids can help others and even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference.” She says. Sammie wrote a book. It is called Inspire the World: A Kid’s Journey to Making a Difference. It tells the story of her buddy benches. Sammie hopes her example will inspire others. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. Building buddy benches gave her confidence. “I’m surely more outgoing now.” 24. Sammie set up the buddy benches to ________. A. help the kid who needs a friend B. help the kids who need new chairs C. teach the kids how to do their homework D. show how many friends she has in her school 25. How did they build the benches? A. They made the benches by themselves with old chairs. B. They sold the green trees to make the benches. C. They bought the benches from a company D. They recycled the plastic bottles to make the benches. 26. Sammie thinks ________. A shy students can write books to help others B. buddy benches cost too much for students to use C. adults set a good example to beautify their community D. small actions can brighten other people’s life C I like to listen to music because music helps me relax. Before I go to bed, I always need to listen to soft music so that I can sleep soon. When I am in bad mood, I will listen to hard music. I will rock my head and then sing with the song. Listening to music is a good way to relax myself and I even plan to buy a guitar and learn music. For most of us, it’s difficult not to admire the talent of a skilled musician. Whether they are pianists or violinists, these musicians have shown dedication (奉献) and passion (热情) over a long time to reach the highest levels of performance. But they say it’s never too late to learn. So what are the benefits (益处) for both children and adults, in learning a musical instrument? Learning to play a musical instrument when growing up can improve hearing in adulthood. According to a study by Dr. Nina Kraus, Professor at a University in US, children who played musical instruments were better at recognizing (认识) different sound. This improved hearing skill which could be carried over into later life. The adults who had once played an instrument are able to recognize sounds more easily. And it could also have some academic (学术) benefits too. A study found that students who took part in music—related activities during grades 7—12 scored much higher in science, English and maths. And there are not just benefits to children. Whether you choose to play the piano, try a guitar or learn a drumbeat, you could end up joining a band. Meeting other band mates and sharing your love of a good tune could improve your social life. Learning an instrument can also give you a sense of achievement (成就). Playing that perfect chord (和弦) is one way, but what if you got together with some friends and entered into a competition of the bands—and won? So, whether you’re looking to reduce (减少) stress by playing out some chords, or improve your grades at school, maybe taking up an instrument could help you. 27. The writer thinks ________. A. it is too late for adults to learn playing instruments B. skillful musicians are mostly born, not made C. people can relax themselves with the help of music D. listening to music can help people reduce hearing illness 28. What are Paragraphs 3—4 mainly talking about? A. The helpful ways of becoming a musician. B. The benefits of playing musical instruments. C. The importance of recognizing the sounds. D. The reasons of choosing the suitable instrument. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. People must join a band to learn an instrument B. Learning music is good for both children and adults. C. Listening to music gives you a sense of achievement. D. Music can be good for children, but it cannot last long. D It’s common to communicate by way of texting, and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking your parents to buy something in the shop. However, we may have taken communication by texting too far. Fighting over text, which is also known as “fexting” is a potential pitfall (潜在危险) to relationships that can cause problems and can even break up friendships. When we speak, the person we’re talking to can tell how serious or light we are by our tone (语气) Texting, on the other hand, has no tone. Everything is flat in writing, so a comment (评论) or a joke may be misunderstood as an insult (冒犯). It can lead to miscommunication. Texting is generally a quick back—and—forth exchange, and when arguing, it can get even faster. You may not read all of a person’s reply before you respond (回复) again, and the more upset you get, the harder it may be to express (表达) yourself clearly or to clearly understand the person you’re fighting with. When we text on the phone, there are no facial expressions or body language, so we can’t tell others our real feeling. Sometimes Emojis and GIFs (表情符号和动图) can be hurtful, too. As soon as it becomes clear that things are heading in a bad direction, you can be the one to stop the argument. When the situation isn’t going in the right direction, you can say “I don’t think texting is the right way to discuss this problem.” or “I’m feeling misunderstood and I don’t think texting will help me feel understood.” to stop the conversation. Once you’re clear that texting is no longer an effective (有效的) communication, suggest a new choice to the text argument. For example: Are you free for a phone call? Would you like to talk about this more in person? Let’s make a plan and so on. If the other person isn’t listening to you, or the exchange isn’t ending because you’re having a hard time stopping yourself from arguing further, the best thing you can do is to put down your phone and walk away from it. In some situations, you may even want to turn it off. Arguing happens, but it doesn’t need to happen through texting. If you and your friends disagree about how to communicate effectively, you may benefit from face to face communication. 30. The writer thinks ________. A. people can read the text message carefully when arguing B. “fexting” can cause problems and hurt relationship C. texting can help understand others’ feelings by tone D texting can help express clearly when people are angry 31. The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A. why texting can cause misunderstanding B. how we use our tone to express feelings C. how to express yourself clearly through texting D. why talking on the phone can avoid misunderstanding 32. What do the words “heading in a bad direction” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Helping people reach an agreement. B. Directing people to a good place. C. Following people’s instructions. D. Causing people’s misunderstanding. 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To discuss the good influence of “fexting”. B. To prove the importance of using text messages. C. To tell some tips for stopping “fexting” D. To compare different ways to communicate with others. 第二部分 四、阅读表达（第34—36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 China high—speed trains, also known as fast trains, can reach a top speed of 350 km/h. Over 2800 pairs of high—speed trains numbered by G, D or C run daily connecting over 550 cities in China and covering more than 30 provinces. By the end of 2024, China kept the world’s largest high—speed rail (HSR) network with a length totaling over 45,000 km. The world’s longest HSR line, Beijing—Hong Kong High Speed Railway, extends 2,440 km. Why do people like traveling by high—speed trains? There are many different answers. First, the present speed of China high—speed trains is 200—350 km/h, greatly shortening the travel time. Second, different from flights, they are less influenced (影响) by weather traffic control so that they can arrive on time. Third, there are more HSR trains than normal ones and people can reach the high—speed railway stations by subway. It can make a rail journey much more convenient than before. Fourth, although China high—speed train tickets cost more than a common train ticket, it is still cheaper than a flight ticket most of the time. Besides, the seats are wider and softer, the windows are bigger, and the washrooms are cleaner. What’s more, there are advanced (先进的) technological communication systems on the high—speed trains. They can help keep passengers safe. Facilities (设施) on these trains are often high standard, similar to those on an airplane. The seats can be turned towards different directions; the seatback can be changed to a wanted angle (角度); there is a small table in front of the passenger and it is even possible to use Wi—Fi. There are mainly four north—south and four east—west trunk lines, and some inter—city lines, greatly shortening the travel time within China. According to the plan, more railways and other transportation facilities will be built and the high—speed rail will reach 50,000 km by 2025. 34 What is the top speed of China high—speed trains? ____________________________________________ 35. Why can the high—speed trains arrive on time? ____________________________________________ 36.
