“When choosing a career, I’ve always believed that young people should seek what they truly love.” That’s exactly the path Moyun has taken. Moyun, a music influencer, gained fame by covering (翻唱) pop songs on the guzheng. Since 2014, her Bilibili uploads have earned millions of views.
Despite the overnight success, Moyun didn’t let it upset her life. “I was still a student at the time, and during those years focused on studying, the video’s sudden popularity didn’t really change my daily routine,” she recalled.
But the wave of positive comments from the audience greatly inspired her to follow her love for the guzheng. With this drive, Moyun has gained many fans by playing modern songs on the old guzheng and slowly created her own special way of mixing old and new music styles.
One standout example of her works is the cover of the Eagles’ Hotel California, which has gotten over 20 million views on YouTube. Many international viewers, after watching her videos, are amazed by her performances and often ask the same question: “What instrument is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots.
“I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said.
Next, Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. “Don’t limit yourself — explore more,” she said.
4. What did Moyun do after her sudden success?
A. She quit her studies. B. She changed her performing style.
C. She turned a professional. D. She went about her daily life as usual.
5. What makes Moyun’s music particularly special?
A. Having unique stage presence. B. Mixing traditional and modern styles.
C. Reaching global followers online. D. Focusing on covering classical music.
6. What does Moyun’s attitude to the term “Chinese zither” indicate?
A. She favors spreading Chinese culture confidently.
B. She regards the guzheng as a type of the zither
C. She credits the guzheng’s global fame to the term.
D. She hopes Chinese young people reconnect with western culture.
7. Which of the following best describes Moyun?
A. Innovative. B. Honest. C. Considerate. D. Generous.
C
Birds have long inspired human beings, especially through their remarkable ability to fly. Migratory (迁徙的) birds, in particular, play a key role in maintaining natural balance. Twice a year, they start grand journeys, spreading seeds and eating insects. These activities help keep ecosystem healthy, which in turn contributes to food security. Francisco Rilla, a wildlife biologist, notes that migratory birds also act as “bioindicators”, avoiding polluted areas and thus providing valuable data on environmental quality.
During their fall migration, birds watch the decreasing daylight-which they understand to mean food will soon be in shorter supply-for a sign that it’s time to head south. They also use the sun, stars, coastlines, and large bodies of water to guide them on their journeys across the world. However, these natural signs and resources are increasingly being impacted. Rising sea levels change coastal stopover sites, while increased ocean acidity (酸化) affects the shellfish that birds rely on for food. Moreover, extreme weather events, such as storms, can also be deadly. In addition, warmer temperatures may lead birds to shorten their migration journeys or not return to their original habitats, causing conflicts over food with local animals. As a result, some species have failed to adapt and have died out.
To help migratory birds, experts recommend expanding protected areas through international effort. The United Nations Environment Program supports these efforts and suggests creating more bird-friendly environments. This year’s World Migratory Bird Day, on May 10, stresses promoting coexistence between humans and birds. The key message is to encourage the creation of healthy habitats, reduce pollution, and avoid glass buildings, which bring about a significant crash risk for birds. If migratory birds disappear, it could upset agriculture and the food web. As Rilla said, “Whatever happens to them could also happen to us.”
8. Why are migratory birds referred to as “bioindicators”?
A. They migrate long distances for habitats. B. They rely on natural signals for migration.
C. Their activities contribute to food security. D. Their behaviors reflect environmental changes.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The problem of the decreasing daylight.
B. The risks the migratory birds face.
C. The results of the extreme weather events.
D. The way the migratory birds use to guide their journeys.
10. What can we conclude from Rilla’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Human activity hardly has impact on birds.
B. The survival of humans depends on bird’s migration.
C. Humans and migratory birds share the same future.
D. Protecting birds from crashes is the most important task.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A. Birds’ Role in Natural Balance B. Migratory Birds: Amazing Journeys
C. Climate Change: Chances and Challenges D. Impact of Climate Change on Bird Migration
D
Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?
The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945.
But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions.
That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike?
12. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean?
A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary.
13. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory?
A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party.
C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language.
14 What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3?
A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries.
C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover.
15. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To argue for a particular viewpoint.
C. To describe a personal experience. D. To explain reasons for a phenomenon.

“When choosing a career, I’ve always believed that young people should seek what they truly love.” That’s exactly the path Moyun has taken. Moyun, a music influencer, gained fame by covering (翻唱) pop songs on the guzheng. Since 2014, her Bilibili uploads have earned millions of views.
Despite the overnight success, Moyun didn’t let it upset her life. “I was still a student at the time, and during those years focused on studying, the video’s sudden popularity didn’t really change my daily routine,” she recalled.
But the wave of positive comments from the audience greatly inspired her to follow her love for the guzheng. With this drive, Moyun has gained many fans by playing modern songs on the old guzheng and slowly created her own special way of mixing old and new music styles.
One standout example of her works is the cover of the Eagles’ Hotel California, which has gotten over 20 million views on YouTube. Many international viewers, after watching her videos, are amazed by her performances and often ask the same question: “What instrument is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots.
“I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said.
Next, Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. “Don’t limit yourself — explore more,” she said.
4. What did Moyun do after her sudden success?
A. She quit her studies. B. She changed her performing style.
C. She turned a professional. D. She went about her daily life as usual.
5. What makes Moyun’s music particularly special?
A. Having unique stage presence. B. Mixing traditional and modern styles.
C. Reaching global followers online. D. Focusing on covering classical music.
6. What does Moyun’s attitude to the term “Chinese zither” indicate?
A. She favors spreading Chinese culture confidently.
B. She regards the guzheng as a type of the zither
C. She credits the guzheng’s global fame to the term.
D She hopes Chinese young people reconnect with western culture.
7. Which of the following best describes Moyun?
A. Innovative. B. Honest. C. Considerate. D. Generous.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了古筝音乐人墨韵的成名经历及音乐追求。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““I was still a student at the time, and during those years focused on studying, the video’s sudden popularity didn’t really change my daily routine,” she recalled. (“我当时还是一名学生,在那几年专注于学习,视频的突然走红并没有真正改变我的日常生活,”她回忆道。)”可知,墨韵在突然走红后,她的日常生活还是和往常一样。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“With this drive, Moyun has gained many fans by playing modern songs on the old guzheng and slowly created her own special way of mixing old and new music styles. (在这种动力驱使下,墨韵用古老的古筝演奏现代歌曲,赢得了许多粉丝,并逐渐创造了自己独特的融合新旧音乐风格的方式。)”可知,墨韵的音乐特别之处在于她将传统和现代的风格融合在一起。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots. (对墨韵来说,古筝在中国以外并不为人所知,这是不幸的。她认为古筝常见的英文翻译“Chinese zither”不太准确。然而,她希望这种情况会有所改变,尤其是随着越来越多的中国年轻人寻求与他们的文化根源重新建立联系。)”以及倒数第二段““I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said. (“我相信,当我们带着文化自信在全球舞台上展示古筝,并自豪地介绍它的名字时,它将成为被广泛接受的通用术语,”墨韵说道。)”可推知,墨韵对“Chinese zither”这个词的态度表明她支持自信地传播中国文化。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Next, Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. (接下来,墨韵计划用古筝演奏不同类型的现代歌曲,挑战人们对中国传统乐器的看法。她专注于指法技巧和原创作品,旨在拓展古筝的演奏范围。)”可知,墨韵是一个有创新精神的人。故选A。
C
Birds have long inspired human beings, especially through their remarkable ability to fly. Migratory (迁徙的) birds, in particular, play a key role in maintaining natural balance. Twice a year, they start grand journeys, spreading seeds and eating insects. These activities help keep ecosystem healthy, which in turn contributes to food security. Francisco Rilla, a wildlife biologist, notes that migratory birds also act as “bioindicators”, avoiding polluted areas and thus providing valuable data on environmental quality.
During their fall migration, birds watch the decreasing daylight-which they understand to mean food will soon be in shorter supply-for a sign that it’s time to head south. They also use the sun, stars, coastlines, and large bodies of water to guide them on their journeys across the world. However, these natural signs and resources are increasingly being impacted. Rising sea levels change coastal stopover sites, while increased ocean acidity (酸化) affects the shellfish that birds rely on for food. Moreover, extreme weather events, such as storms, can also be deadly. In addition, warmer temperatures may lead birds to shorten their migration journeys or not return to their original habitats, causing conflicts over food with local animals. As a result, some species have failed to adapt and have died out.
To help migratory birds, experts recommend expanding protected areas through international effort. The United Nations Environment Program supports these efforts and suggests creating more bird-friendly environments. This year’s World Migratory Bird Day, on May 10, stresses promoting coexistence between humans and birds. The key message is to encourage the creation of healthy habitats, reduce pollution, and avoid glass buildings, which bring about a significant crash risk for birds. If migratory birds disappear, it could upset agriculture and the food web. As Rilla said, “Whatever happens to them could also happen to us.”
8. Why are migratory birds referred to as “bioindicators”?
A. They migrate long distances for habitats. B. They rely on natural signals for migration.
C. Their activities contribute to food security. D. Their behaviors reflect environmental changes.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The problem of the decreasing daylight.
B. The risks the migratory birds face.
C. The results of the extreme weather events.
D. The way the migratory birds use to guide their journeys.
10. What can we conclude from Rilla’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Human activity hardly has impact on birds.
B. The survival of humans depends on bird’s migration.
C. Humans and migratory birds share the same future.
D. Protecting birds from crashes is the most important task.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A. Birds’ Role in Natural Balance B. Migratory Birds: Amazing Journeys
C. Climate Change: Chances and Challenges D. Impact of Climate Change on Bird Migration
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍迁徙鸟类的生态作用、迁徙面临的风险及保护建议,强调其对环境的重要性与人类的命运关联。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Francisco Rilla, a wildlife biologist, notes that migratory birds also act as ‘bioindicators’, avoiding polluted areas and thus providing valuable data on environmental quality.(野生生物学家弗朗西斯科・里拉指出,迁徙鸟类还充当‘生物指标’,避开污染区域,从而为环境质量提供有价值的数据。)”可知,迁徙鸟类的行为(如避开污染区)能反映环境变化,因此被称为“生物指标”。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第二段可知,第二段先介绍鸟类迁徙的导航方式,随后通过“However”转折,重点列举“海平面上升改变栖息地”、“海洋酸化影响食物”、“极端天气”、“气温升高导致迁徙路线变化” 等问题。根据“Rising sea levels change coastal stopover sites(海平面上升改变沿海中途停留地)”和 “extreme weather events, such as storms, can also be deadly(极端天气事件,如风暴,也可能是致命的)”等描述可知,本段主要讲述迁徙鸟类面临的生存风险。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Rilla的话“Whatever happens to them could also happen to us.(发生在它们身上的事情也可能发生在我们身上。)”并结合前文“迁徙鸟类消失会破坏农业和食物网”可知,鸟类与人类的生存息息相关,共享未来命运。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是文章第二段详细阐述了气候变化(如海平面上升、海洋酸化、极端天气、气温升高等)对迁徙鸟类的直接影响,第三段提出的保护措施也围绕应对气候变化展开。例如,第二段中“Rising sea levels change coastal stopover sites(海平面上升改变沿海中途停留地)”和“warmer temperatures may lead birds to shorten their migration journeys(气温升高可能导致鸟类缩短迁徙旅程)”等内容,均聚焦气候因素对迁徙的影响。 所以D选项Impact of Climate Change on Bird Migration(气候变化对鸟类迁徙的影响)精准覆盖全文核心议题,适合用作标题。故选D项。
D
Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?
The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945.
But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions.
That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike?
12. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean?
A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary.
13. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory?
A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party.
C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language.
14. What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3?
A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries.
C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover.
15. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To argue for a particular viewpoint.
C. To describe a personal experience. D. To explain reasons for a phenomenon.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍为何长时间不骑自行车仍能骑行这一现象及其背后的记忆原理。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys.(这很令人惊讶,因为我们的记忆在很多其他情况下会fall short,比如记住一个地方的名字、一个我们曾经认识的人,或者我们把钥匙放在哪里。)”可知,记住地名、人名等日常记忆容易出错,而骑自行车的记忆却很牢固,由此可推测“fall short”的意思与“失败,不足”意义相近。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945.(语义记忆,也被称为事实记忆,是知道第二次世界大战于1945年结束。)”可知,知道法国的首都是事实记忆,属于语义记忆。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions.(但为什么程序性记忆如此强大呢?这对科学来说还不太清楚,尽管苏坎写道,一个原因是大脑中形成运动模式的区域经历的神经细胞更新较少,这有助于保持对这些动作的回忆。)”可知,程序性记忆不太可能被遗忘。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?(那么,为什么我们多年不骑自行车,却还能骑呢?)”以及第二段中的“The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making.(答案与我们正在形成的记忆类型有关。)”可知,这篇文章的目的是解释一种现象的原因。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述青少年精神疾病发病率上升,社交媒体或为诱因,其影响因使用方式而异,需合理使用并培养健康习惯。
【16题详解】
由上文“Rates of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses have been increasing in teenagers for at least a decade.(青少年中抑郁、焦虑和其他精神疾病的发病率至少十年来一直在上升。)”可知,前文提出青少年心理健康问题。空格后“New data has confirmed that it could be a contributor.(新数据证实它可能是一个促成因素。)”中的it需指代前文提到的因素。E项In recent years, scientists have often flagged social media as one potential cause.(近年来,科学家常将社交媒体列为一个潜在原因。) 中“social media”作为“潜在原因”,与后文it形成指代衔接,同时“potential cause”呼应前文“发病率上升”,引出后文对社交媒体影响的讨论。故选E项。
【17题详解】
上文提到“Over the past decades, the Internet has done some great things. It has brought people closer together.(过去几十年里,互联网做了一些伟大的事情。它让人们更紧密地联系在一起。)”,列举互联网的积极影响。A 项It has helped people form big communities worldwide.(它帮助人们在全球范围内形成大型社区。)以“It has helped”延续并列结构,“form big communities” 是对“brought people closer”的具体展开,进一步说明互联网的积极作用,符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
空格后连续提问“Am I pretty enough? Strong enough? Smart enough? Cool enough? (我够漂亮吗?足够强壮?够聪明吗?够酷吗?)”,并提到“social media made them feel worse about their bodies(社交媒体让他们对自己的身体感觉更糟)”,体现青少年在社交媒体上的自我比较。D项Social media is also where people are comparing themselves to others.(社交媒体也是人们互相比较的地方。)中“comparing themselves to others”直接对应后文的自我审视和比较行为,also衔接前文对社交媒体负面影响的描述(如网络欺凌),形成并列结构。故选D项。
【19题详解】
上文提到“the U. S. Surgeon General issued a warning about kids’ social-media use.(美国卫生局局长就儿童社交媒体使用发出警告。)”,指出官方警告。空格后“But there was plenty of evidence to warn kids that they should take care when using it.(但有大量证据警告孩子们使用时应小心。)”以But转折,说明警告的依据。F项It concluded there was still not enough evidence to say social media is safe for kids.(其结论是,仍没有足够证据表明社交媒体对孩子是安全的。)中“concluded”对应“issued a warning”,“not enough evidence to say it’s safe”与后文“plenty of evidence to warn”形成转折逻辑,符合“警告”的语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文提到“Whitlock asks teens to put together a ‘menu of practices’ that promote good mental health.(惠特洛克要求青少年整理一份促进心理健康的‘实践菜单’。)”,关键词为“menu of practices”。C项It should include things they enjoy, like reading or outdoor time.(它应该包括他们喜欢的事情,比如阅读或户外活动时间。)中It指代menu,“include things they enjoy”具体说明菜单内容,与后文“She also suggests that if kids feel anxious, they should go back to that menu again and do something from their list”中的list形成呼应,符合逻辑。故选C项。
