B It was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived. I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I had accumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22-million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go. My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning. The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as I knew that this would be the farewell（告别） party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life. Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to develop relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will eventually provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world. 39. Why did the author pack his things in the classroom? A. He was doing a cleaning. B. He would quit his job as a teacher. C.

Change happens for better or for worse. C. It is no good feeling attached to a place. D. A positive attitude brings forth good changes. 42. What’s the tone of the writer in writing the article? A. Bittersweet. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Unconcerned. C The Sanxingdui Museum in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province enjoyed huge popularity during the three-day Qingming Festival holidays by receiving nearly 20,000 visitors on the peak day, after the new archaeological（考古的）discoveries brought international attention. According to media reports, the museum saw over 15,000 visitors on Saturday, the first day of the Qingming Festival holidays, breaking its record for daily visitors. And on the next day, more visitors swarmed into the museum to exceed 19,800. To deal with the large flow of people, on Sunday afternoon, the official Weibo account of the Sanxingdui Museum released a message to remind visitors of avoiding rush hours or rescheduling their visiting time. The Sanxingdui Museum showcases various kinds of precious cultural relics unearthed at the site, such as the 2.62-meter-tall standing statue, 1.38-meter-wide bronze mask, and 3.95-meter-high bronze tree. Earlier on March 20, Chinese archaeologists announced some new major discoveries made during the 37th excavation(挖掘) since its last excavation 35 years ago. The ruins were first discovered in the late 1920s and first excavated in 1934. More than 500 important cultural relics have been unearthed in the six newly-found pits （ 坑）. Since the new discoveries were known to the public, the number of people visiting the Sanxingdui Museum has increased sharply. The museum said although it was open as usual, the newly-found pits had not opened to the public yet and the newly-excavated cultural relics were still under restoration and couldn’t meet the public currently. But a hall for cultural relic conservation and restoration would be in pilot operation in April and officially opened on May 18. Visitors to it can see how the relics are restored, according to Zhu Yarong, vice director of the Sanxingdui Museum. Dating back about 3,000 years, the Sanxingdui Ruins have shed light on the ancient Shu civilization and cultural origins of the Chinese nation, and have been regarded as one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century. 43. What mainly brought about a surge（猛增） in tourists visiting the Sanxingdui Museum? A. International fame. B. Sichuan Province’s policy. C. The Qingming Festival holidays. D. New archaeological discoveries. 44. What is TRUE about Sanxingdui according to the text? A. The Sanxingdui Ruins were first discovered in 1934. B. Newly-excavated cultural relics on display attracted tourists very much. C. The Sanxingdui Museum reacted immediately to the large flow of tourists. D. Tourist numbers reached the peak on the first day of the Qingming Festival holidays. 45. What does the underlined word “pilot” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Trial. B. Private. C. Official. D. Personal. 46. Which one of the followings can be the best title? A. The Sanxingdui Ruins: one of the most important archaeological discoveries B. The excavation and restoration of the Sanxingdui Ruins C. The Sanxingdui Museum: a perfect tourist attraction over the Qingming Festival D. Sanxingdui Museum more popular during the Qingming Festival D There has been growing concern about “digital dementia” — the idea that excessive（过度的） dependence on smartphones and the internet harms cognitive (认知的) abilities. However, recent research suggests that for adults over 50, these technologies may actually have the opposite effect. An overall analysis of nearly 60 studies involving 410,000 older adults found that those who frequently used smartphones, computers, and the internet were less likely to experience cognitive decline compared to those who used them less. Jared Benge and his colleague Michael Scullin at Baylor University in Texas searched the literature for studies involving the use of digital technologies in people over 50. The team focused on daily experience of dealing with digital technologies, and excluded ones focusing on gaming or brain training. This left 57 studies, most of which were done in Europe or North America, but there were papers from all around the world, says Benge. “And the effects seem to be fairly consistent.” Three key mechanisms(机制) that explain this effect, says Benge. First, digital activities are more cognitively engaging than passive ones like watching TV. Second, digital technology boosts social connections, for instance, video calls. Third, digital tools like GPS navigation help older adults maintain independence for longer, ensuring they don’t get lost even if their way-finding abilities decline, for example. The main weakness is that the studies in the analysis relied on people self-reporting how much they used smartphones, computers or the internet. In the future, technologies such as screen-time monitoring could provide objective measures. Benge also points out that the people in these studies didn ’ t have smartphones or internet access as children. “Does this play out for digital natives? This is a snapshot(快照) that’s encouraging, but the story is not done being told.” That said, while the results of the meta-analysis are inconclusive, they suggest that long-term technology use can be beneficial for the brain and cognition, says neuroscientist Dean Burnett. “This clearly challenges the common quick judgment that that ‘technology equals bad’ in terms of brain and mental health.” 47. What is the main finding of the recent research? A. Smartphone use leads to memory loss in seniors. B. Internet browsing prevents all forms of dementia. C. Regular tech use shows cognitive benefits for the elderly. D. Video games are better than social media for brain health. 48. What was the main focus of the studies included in the research? A. Digital habits in the elderly. B. Preferences for social media. C. Daily use of digital technologies. D. Digital programs for brain training. 49. How might digital technology help older adults stay independent according to Benge? A. By encouraging more self reporting. B. By giving directions and locations. C. By discouraging social interactions. D. By doing all their daily tasks automatically. 50. What is Dean Burnett’s attitude toward the research findings? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Push Yourselves Beyond the Limits Limits are blocks between you and your success. You will face great resistance when attempting to break through the limits. It could be fear, lack of confidence, physical disabilities, and mental block. If you desire a life of success, you must face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits. 51 Here are tips for you to succeed. 52 Don’t wait for external motivation to make the first move. Discover your inner motivation! It could be a motivational video, articles, TED Talks, or quotes. Ensure it is something that fills you with passion and drive to get things done. Inspiration can push you forward. Take on a little more than you think you can. Pushing past your limits means taking on newer, harder challenges. If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you’re only working within what you already can do. 53 Work on your goals a little each day. Chances are great that you need to build your empire brick by brick. That takes time and regular effort. 54 That is, there is not a day that you don’t work on your big goals, at least a little bit. It can be fifteen minutes dedicated to doing one small thing that will get you closer to that big thing you want to accomplish. Find someone who supports you and encourages you to keep going. 55 Having someone to support you can balance out the impact of any negative thinking that may limit you. It could be a life coach, friend, parent, or your wife or husband. They can help you make the push you need to get out of your comfort zone. A. Inspire yourself. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day. C. Discover where your passion lies. D. A bit of assistance means much in facing resistance. E. One good way is to adopt the approach of “No Zero Days”. F. Failure to do so will make your goals and dreams unrealizable. G. That’s a way to stay exactly where you are and make little or no progress. 第二卷 非选择题部分（满分45分）第一节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将答案填写在答题卡的相应位置。 UNESCO has recently added the “Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year” to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The event started with an engaging presentation by environmental experts, who highlighted the damaging impact of plastic and emphasized the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling plastic. Then a plastic collection drive was held so as to encourage everyone to bring in their plastic waste for proper disposal. Additionally, students participated in a poster­making competition, creating thought-provoking artworks that showcased the importance of sustainable alternatives. The response to these activities was overwhelming. It is through such collective efforts that we can hope to “Beat Plastic Pollution” and create a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
